Full-scale strike could end classes early KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff

Teachers are preparing to escalate job action, but there is cautious optimism that can be avoided. A full-scale strike at schools could begin Tuesday after 86 per cent of teachers provincewide voted earlier this week to move beyond rotating pickets. With teachers holding a study session Monday, that means today could possibly be the end of the school year. “My heart sunk when I saw the news that we’re going to full withdrawal of services, but I am more hopeful now,” said Heather Malcolm, Vernon Teachers’ Association president, who would like to see the union and the employer reach a deal over the weekend. “So it may turn out to be a ratification vote and not a strike vote — we are hopeful that this will be resolved and avoid a full walk out.” The Vernon and North Okanagan-Shuswap school districts are preparing for a full strike next week. “If an agreement is not reached, we are requesting parents keep their children home or make alternate arrangements beginning Monday until further notice,” said Joe Rogers, Vernon superintendent, in a letter to parents. The Labour Relations Board

Students will not have to cross a picket line to write their exams. “Administrators will cover all of the provincial exams, and Grade 12 teachers are the only ones required to submit marks, so there will be no kindergarten to Grade

11 report cards until the strike is over,” said Rogers. The North Okanagan-Shuswap district has also sent a similar letter home to parents. “This is not the way we had hoped the school year would be ending. We regret the issues this ongoing provincial dispute may be causing your family and it is the

sincere hope of the board of education that this dispute will soon be over,” states the letter. All graduation ceremonies will be going ahead in both districts as planned, with support from school and district management staff. Students in both districts were asked to empty their desks and lockers at the end of classes today.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender says the government’s goal is to have an agreement with teachers by June 30. “The B.C. Teachers’ Federation has said they want to avoid the strike and they are ready to bargain through the weekend. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association will be there,” he said. “It took support staff unions five days of hard bargaining to get to an agreement. We can achieve the same thing with teachers if the BCTF comes to the table with realistic expectations and a willingness to find solutions.” “Up to now, the BCTF’s total compensation demands have been four times more than other recent settlements. The BCTF has indicated that they will submit a new wage proposal and BCPSEA looks forward to receiving those.” Malcolm wants to see some flexibility on the part of Fassbender. “The government needs to commit resources to improving learning conditions. The employer has made some moves and the BCTF has made some moves and now it’s a chess game and it’s up to the government,” she said. “We want to thank parents for their support and encourage everyone who cares about public education to contact Eric Foster, our MLA, and demand change from this government.”

North Okanagan routes top worst roads list RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

North Okanagan roads are getting a bumpy ride. Of the top 10 spots in the B.C. Automobile Association’s B.C.’s Worst Roads survey, five of them are held by local roads or separate stretches of the same routes. Leading the pack in first was Silver Star Road, from Greenway Road to the resort. “Something needs to be done,” said Brad Baker, Silver Star Mountain Resort operations manager. The primary complaint is potholes and

crumbling pavement. “From Greenway Road to the first switchback, you’d probably be better to have a gravel surface,” said Baker. “It’s not the surface you expect to have a multi-million-dollar resort at the end of.” Coming up second in the survey was Westside Road because of poor surface conditions near Attenborough Road. Westside Road, 17 kilometres north of the Kelowna bridge, was named fourth worst while in ninth, was Westside Road at Chief Saddleman Road. “I admit parts of the road are not good

and need to be improved but I have been talking to the Ministry of Transportation,” said Jim Edgson, North Westside director. “There is definitely a plan in place and improvements will occur. I will encourage them (ministry) to continue with their plans.” In third place on the BCAA list was Cosens Bay Road, which goes through Coldstream and Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park, which is in the electoral area. The main complaint from survey participants was pedestrian and cycling safety. “That road is not in bad shape,” said

Bob Fleming, Cosens Bay director, when he heard the results. Fleming has worked at the Cosens Bay cabin colony recently and has seen road graders. “I’ve been fairly impressed with the condition of the road. It’s narrow but for this time of the year, it’s well maintained,” he said. Rounding out BCAA’s top 10 list was Richmond’s George Massey tunnel (5), Victoria’s Mackenzie Avenue (6), Surrey’s Patullo Bridge (7), Maple Crescent in Maple Ridge (8) and the Island Highway in Malahat (10).

Dueck, Lazar share top athlete award Kevin Mitchell

Sports Editor

osh Dueck is 33 and in the prime of his ski career. Curtis Lazar is 19 and expecting to begin his pro hockey career with the Ottawa Senators next season. The two elite Vernon athletes met for the first time Tuesday night when they shared the Tim Hortons Athlete of the Year award at Lakers Clubhouse. Dueck won a silver medal in men’s downhill at the 2014 Paralympic Games in Sochi, Russia on the 10th anniversary of a freestyle ski accident at Silver Star Mountain. Receiving plaques and medals never gets old. “No, especially a local award,” said Dueck. “To be recognized by your community is pretty special. When I’m on the road competing, it gets tiring sometimes and when I was in Sochi, I was able to dig deep in the archives of those fond memories of my friends and family back at home who give me inspiration to do what I do and give me a really positive intention when I’m out there, as to why I’m doing what I’m doing. “I like to ski, but competing is a bit of a work project for me. I enjoy it, but it takes a lot of my energy to do it. Coming back to what inspires you and your primary focus and intention, and for me, that is community, so absolutely this award means a lot to me. If this would have passed me by after the year that I had, I would have been bummed.” Dueck and his wife, Lacey, have an eight-month-old daughter, Nova. When he’s not being a dad, Josh is either training or putting time in as an ambassador. He doesn’t watch much hockey. “Im actually very honoured to share this award with this hockey star. I’m hearing on the street that not only did he have a good season, he could be one of Canada’s next great hockey players. We come from a very strong hockey culture in Canada so to be alongside him is a great recognition and honour.” Lazar, 19, was alternate captain of the Edmonton Oil Kings, who claimed the Western Hockey League title and the 96th annual Memorial Cup. Lazar rang up 41 goals and 76 points in the regular season and added 10 goals and 22 points in the WHL playoffs. A first-round draft pick of the Ottawa Senators, Lazar set a Memorial Cup record by scoring in a triple-overtime win over

Paralympic superstar Josh Dueck and hockey phenom curtis lazar receive the tim hortons north Okanagan Athlete of the Year trophy from sponsor Dan currie and 2013 winner Diane Schuetze tuesday night at the lakers clubhouse. the Val D’Or Foreurs, the longest overtime game in tournament history. He won the George Parsons Trophy as the Most Sportsmanlike Player in the event. The Tim Hortons award further boosted his Duracell smile. “It means a lot,” said Lazar, a centre. “The season was quite spectacular in its own way, but it wouldn’t be possible without the support I get here from Vernon and the people throughout the North Okanagan. I owe a lot to them.” He will train in Kelowna this summer and attend Ottawa’s main camp with optimism. “I’ll leave it all in the gym and hopefully get the results come the fall.” A Canuck fan growing up, Lazar will also spend time with his family, including three siblings, all hockey players. He refuses to change his down-to-earth ways despite all of glory coming his way. “Not at all. You probably see my dad

(Dave), and he’s always smiling as well so I guess I get it from him. I love the game of hockey and I love my life and I love what I do, and that’s never gonna change me. Just live to the fullest and enjoy each moment of it.” Also nominated for Athlete of the Year were Olympic snowboarder Kevin Hill, university field lacrosse players Bayne Bosquet and Ryan Sarazin, UBC Thunderbird golfer Connor Kozak, BMXer Shylo Orchard, track star Tyra Gilbert and UBC O Heat soccer sniper Kirsten Dodds. Team of the Year went to the Vernon Adrenaline Rush, who represented Team B.C. and won the Western Canadian Under 16 ringette championships in Winnipeg. “I think our strengths were we got along well and we were all really close friends,” said Maddie Powls, a tri-captain. “When one person was down, everyone else would bring them up. On the bench, we were really encouraging and we made a lot of jokes.

We knew when to be serious and when we could have fun.” Tri-captain Saylor Martian was just hoping for a medal and happy to be at westerns. The gold win over Manitoba was a bonus. “We worked together really well, regardless of the situation we were in,” said Martian. “We’ve all played together so long we just kind of fit and it works really well.” Added assistant coach Ellie Paulin, who helped Paige Powls: “They’re just a great group of kids to be around. Really focussed and driven and so much fun.” Jan Mori, who has volunteered for scores of big events since moving here from Whitehorse 37 years ago, took the Leadership in Sport Builders award. She met her husband, Terry at UBC where she studied education. She was unable to find work teaching in Vernon so ended up working at the curling club. “Coaching, when you work with the teams, is kind of fun,” she said. “ But, what I really enjoyed was the junior program when you had all of them out there. They start off as grommets and end up as world champions (Kuhn brothers Brad and Ryan) which was pretty rewarding. Jamie Danbrook was also one of my little guys and he ended up at the worlds curling for New Brunswick.” Mori helped organize Unplug Week last month and is coaching an Australian curling team. She has gone to China and New Zealand with the rink. Marina Koberg of youth soccer, and multiple-sport boosters Akbal Mund and Sonja Gaudet were also nominated in the Builders category.

Another suspicious fire is being investigated by the RCMP in Greater Vernon. On Tuesday, Coldstream firefighters received a report of a large industrial-size dumpster engulfed in flames at a construction site on Graystone Drive at about 11:30 p.m. “It was chock full of wood and building material. It was a huge fire. It could be seen across the lake,” said Shane Code, Coldstream fire chief. “It was difficult to get at and it took a few hours to get into and pull apart.” The fire posed a low to moderate risk to the adjacent structure. “Given the size of the flames, the embers were within 30 to 50 feet of the building,” said Code. “It was an unprotected wood-frame house under construction so that was the threat.” The cause of the fire is considered to be suspicious. “The RCMP are looking into it,” said Code. The total number of recent suspicious unsolved fires in the Greater Vernon and Spallumcheen area is in double digits. “It is unknown if this fire is related to the other suspicious fires we have had over the past month,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson.

Edgson won’t seek another term Morning Star Staff

North Westside voters won’t find a familiar name on November’s ballot.

tiatives have occurred in the electoral area. “It has been my pleasure to work with the constituents, with the boards and staff of the regional district, our MLAs and MPs, the Ministry of Transportation and other ministries,” he said. “Of the many concerns and things which I ran for, I am very happy to note that the majority of these issues were accomplished, or are in the process of being worked on. I continue to be excited about the improvements on Westside Road and in knowing that there is an improvement plan in place for that road in the future.” He admits that his time on the RDCO board has changed his opinion about government. “When I retired from 32 years of service in the Alberta oil industry in 1998, I was not fond of government. Through working with wonderful regional district staff, I can honestly say we have the best local government in the province in the Central Okanagan,” he said.

Search unit responds RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

There was assistance for a distressed individual in Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. Vernon Search and Rescue was called by B.C. Ambulance Wednesday at about 8:30 p.m. after a mountain biker required medical assistance. “Our crew brought him out on a quad from the trail system out on the top,” said Pete Wise, search master. Paramedics took the cyclist to hospital and the extent of his medical condition is not known. Search and Rescue converged on the red gate with extensive resources. “It was a full blown response, we had a large turnout. It’s very steep terrain, it’s pretty rugged in there,” said Wise.

Rental housing market tightens up in city RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

The search for affordable housing is becoming more challenging. Vernon’s rental vacancy rate dropped from 7.7 per cent in April 2013 to 4.1 per cent last month, while the average rent for a two-bedroom unit has gone from $785 to $794.

in (housing) demand,” said Paul Fabri, an analyst with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. “And there has been no new supply in the market.” With fewer rental units available, there is a concern that could impact the bottom line for house-hunters. “As the numbers

crunch up, the price (for rent) may go up,” said Juliette Cunningham, a Vernon city councillor. The city is currently working with private sector developers and social agencies to try and meet the public demand. One possibility could be to reduce the fees the city charges developers if they construct afford-

able housing. “We’re also working on an affordable housing policy,” said Cunningham. According to CMHC, B.C.’s apartment vacancy rate declined to 2.4 per cent

in April from 3.5 per cent during the same month in 2013. Kelowna’s vacancy rate last month was 1.5 per cent while it was 2.9 per cent in Penticton and 3.4 per cent in Salmon Arm.

Coldstream is paying tribute to a community leader by rallying around the Canadian flag. The district will provide the Vernon Canada Day committee with $500 for this year’s festivities. “I wanted to support it because of

said Cochrane, adding that many Coldstream residents take part in the activities. The Regional District of North Okanagan recently provided $2,000 for the Canada Day event in Polson Park and the City of Vernon has committed $1,000 as well as support from city staff. “Over the past few

Vernon RCMP received three reports within 90 minutes of one another from Foothills Drive, Hart Lane and Whitecourt Place. In two of the three cases, vehicles were forcibly broken into. A bag of clothing and a pair of sunglasses were stolen. Owners of the car at the Hart Lane theft were alerted when the vehicle’s

alarm went off. A garage was left open on Foothills Drive and the thief took a TomTom GPS system from the vehicle. “We’re asking people to secure their vehicles, and don’t leave anything visible in them to tempt thieves,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “Be vigilant.” Police did receive a report of a possible dark pickup truck, perhaps a GMC model, being in the area at the time of the thefts. Anybody with any information is asked to call the Vernon detachment at 250-545-7171, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

years, Patrick has contributed not only his time, but a significant amount of money to make this event a success,” states a letter from the Canada Day committee. “With his passing, the committee is strug-

Blue Jays bashed in May

have never had so much fun watching the Toronto Blue Jays play as I did in May. At the end of May, the Blue Jays sat atop the American League East with a five and a half game lead and were 14 games over 500; an unthinkable feat considering the state of the franchise following last year. After a miserable 74-88 season and missing the playoffs by a country mile, I still had faith that the Jays were a good team trapped inside of a season that was a burning heap of garbage. The Blue Jays are everything to me. I was born just outside the Big Smoke and I watched the tape of Joe Carter’s walk-off home run in the 1993 World Series religiously as a kid. Carlos Delgado, Shawn Green, Shannon Stewart, Orlando Hudson, and Roy Halladay were my guys growing up. Tyler Lowey The start of the season seemed to mirror the 2013 Jays. They hobbled out of the gate with a 12-14 record just as all the experts predicted. Brandon Morrow hit the disabled list earlier than normal, the bats looked unconscious and their once invincible bullpen couldn’t throw a strike. The games were frustrating to watch, but I kept telling myself that it was too early in the year for a meltdown. Then something strange happened once the calendar flipped from April to May. They started rolling teams. To say Jays’ DH/first basemen Edwin Encarnacion exploded in May would be vastly understated. The 31-year-old slugger must have been praying to Jobu, because once May rolled around he started hitting home runs like he was square dancing, two per game. Double E swatted 16 home runs to tie an AL record for May, to go with 33 RBI and a .281 average. I was often caught screaming at my TV and holding my right arm outstretched as he does when he circles the bases after launching pitches into orbit.

AT RANDOM

The Jays cranked 48 Yahtzees in May which was more than 12 teams have hit this season, nearly half the league. They have five hitters with more than 10 dingers and an injured Colby Rasmus who has been on the shelf for a month with nine homers. The most surprising part of this turnaround had to be their starting rotation. The Jays’ staff led the majors with a 21-9 record, with a 3.74 ERA in May. They are led by a southpaw topping out at 84 miles per hour, which are considered beach balls in the show. The rest of their rotation hinges on the edge of catastrophe, with a former Cy Young winner who struggles to keep the ball in the ball park, mixed in with three young arms that have never come close to throwing 150 innings in the bigs. The unsung hero is Casey (the Janitor) Janssen. The Jays’ closer converted 34 out of 36 save opportunities in 2013. This season he started this year on the DL. His injury appeared to throw the lineup out of whack. The Jays had relievers in situations that they weren’t comfortable in and they were forced to stretch their starters longer than normal. Janssen isn’t a Mariano Rivera and he doesn’t throw 96 mph. He throws five pitches for strikes and oozes confidence. I believe Janssen’s return in early May stabilized the pitching staff, which allowed players to return to roles that they were confident in. It is clear that the Jays had everything go their way in May. How long can it last? Who knows. They started June losing back-to-back series against the St. Louis Cardinals and the Minnesota Twins of all teams. I’m sure that’s all part of the ebb and flow of the marathon season. All I can do is hope that the Jays are still in the thick of it when I see them in New York in late July. Wins in May and June count the same as wins in Aug. and Sept. If the Jays manage to make the playoffs, you better believe I am coming down with some type of jungle fever that will get me out of work so I can fly to Toronto for the first round. I think I feel something coming on already.

Canadians love the sun so much, it’s killing us. After being cooped up for months at a time to shelter from the snow and cold, we rejoice at the first days of warm sunshine. By July we’re positively basking in it. Problem is, we don’t like to cover up and we’re loathe to slap on some sticky, oily or runny sun screen to protect our skin. And that’s leading to an alarming increase in skin cancer, according to a report released last week by the Canadian Cancer Society, Statistics Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada. The report says there will be about 6,500 new cases of malignant melanoma diagnosed in Canada this year. That’s the deadliest, most insidious form of skin cancer that will kill more than 1,000 Canadians. Another 76,100 cases of nonmelanoma skin cancers will also be diagnosed. Those are less serious and can usually be treated in the doctor’s office. Unlike many other forms of cancer, the incidence of skin cancer is actually going up rather than down. For men, the incidence rate went up 2% between 1986 and 2010. For women it increased 1.5 per cent. Mortality rates also increased. Also, the Canadian Cancer Society is worried about risky behaviour of young adults, who are most likely to use tanning beds and who tend to spend the most time in the sun without protecting themselves. Consider that a single, blistering sunburn before the age of 20 can double a person’s chance of developing melanoma. Thus it’s even more important that young people cover up, wear hats, sun glasses and lip balm and seek shade. While it might be a little much to ask people to stay indoors, it’s not a big deal to put on that shirt, roll down those sleeves, slap on that hat and slop on that sunscreen. And pay heed to that UV index that’s become a standard feature of most weather forecasts to avoid the sun’s rays when they’re at their most damaging. -The Burnaby NewsLeader

healthy community A series of healthy community workshops have been held by the city over the past couple of years to encourage residents to find ways of becoming more active and to reduce dependency on our vehicles. It was identified out of these workshops that children are the casualties in our driving culture and we need to encourage them to walk the six or seven blocks to school like we all did only a generation ago. This eases the morning and afternoon rush on our roads and the traffic congestion in school parking lots. Everyone benefits. Unfortunately, parents of students who attend Beairsto, Harwood, St. James, and Seaton are reluctant to have their children walk or cycle to school along the most appropriate north/south corridor, namely 25th Street, because of safety concerns on this street. Although it was designed to be used as a local road to provide vehicular access to residential properties on that street, it has now evolved into a speeding thoroughfare as traffic accelerates and decelerates to bypass 27th Street in their rush to get to their destinations two minutes faster.

Survey claim draws response

am responding to Shawn Lee's recent letter to the editor, "Survey says something more." This mail-out survey that he refers to, was the local government's response (back in 2008) to the province's proposal (from then-minister Ida Chong,) for one municipal government for the entire Okanagan Valley. For incorporation, being the voted choice (as the mailout survey to area residents showed) was if the government structure had to change. Thus the reason for this "... ambiguous and dilemma-producing nature of the initial survey question." The second (but outvoted) possibility to join an existing municipality didn't mean the City of Vernon by default (as implied in his letter.) Most of the people I talked to, were more inclined to join the District of Coldstream or even possibly the Township of Spallumcheen. Many still feel (incorporation) would be the solution to stopping the continual piecemeal annexation of properties from electoral areas into the City of Vernon. Which, over the last several years has roughly equated to the current size of the city. In other words, the city has enough area to expand for the next 40 years without any more annexations. And yet annexation continues. Although I didn't attend the meeting personally, I

conversed with some who did hear the proposal from the Society for the Future Governance of Greater Vernon to the RDNO. When they were asked by some directors, about empirical data acquired from other areas of Canada that showed this annexation/amalgamation process did the exact opposite of the planned vision, actually raising fees and taxes, the presenters replied they didn't know about that specific information and were going from intuition. I would again implore those who wish to find out more about the effects of annexation on the EAs, to look up

children who are currently walking to and from the four schools on this road (which lacks a sidewalk) must weave around parked cars into the possible path of oncoming vehicles. In winter, it’s even more of a disaster with snow and ice. In 2008, a transportation plan was created that recommended changes to 25 street that would encourage use by cyclists and pedestrians and reduce through traffic. This would be done by the addition of a sidewalk on the west side and medians at key intersections (32nd, 39th and 43rd avenues) to redirect traffic to 27th Street. Numerous consultations have since been done by city traffic planning staff with schools, neighborhoods, the RCMP, fire service and ambulance, all of whom are reported to have raised no objections to this plan. As if often the case, there is resistance to change. A loud and very vocal minority are in opposition this plan and some of our councillors are believing they are representing the views of the majority. Please let our councillors know that a lot of groundwork has been laid with stakeholders in our community. This is a progressive plan

that benefits our city. The addition of safe routes to access schools will make Vernon more neighborhood friendly and a desirable place to live for all of us. Kerry carlson referendum needed In the last provincial and federal elections, more people voted against the ruling parties than for them. As well, the turnout to vote was appallingly dismal. Because of these lackadaisical mandates, neither the B.C. or federal governments truly represent the will of the people when it comes to making irreversible decisions on the state of our children’s health and future. Deciding whether or not to allow tar sands pipelines across our forests and streams and bitumen tankers through our fishery and along our coast goes beyond the scope of the current B.C. and federal governments' mandates. Not only can the pipelines and tankers have lasting detrimental effects on our economy, environment and therefore our own children’s quality or standard of life, but because burning up the tar sands greatly worsens climate change, they

Furthermore, I won't be speculating on how many of the 56 per cent of the 2008 (mail-out) survey signed the last petition of the SFGGV. I will concur with what Richard Rolke wrote Nov. 20, 2013 in the opinion section of The Morning Star. "Yes, the signatures compare well to the 2011 civic election results, but it’s only about seven per cent of the total 45,000 eligible voters in Greater Vernon." Also, 2,032 signatures of that petition (2,930 total), or 69 per cent, were from the city. In conclusion, I am reminded of a quote by Benjamin Disraeli (1804 – 1881), when he said, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." chris edwards

will directly reduce the survivability of the human race. Clearly a defining issue such as the existence of future generations requires a little more scrutiny than a passing mention in a personality based general election. It is only fair that the people of B.C. have a direct voice in the pipeline/tanker decision. Premier Clark said in October 2012, "This project can only go ahead if it has the social license to do so. It can only get the social license from the citizens of B.C. And that’s what I’m representing as premier." When 64 per cent of British Columbians are against pipelines and tankers and an even greater 79 per cent say they want to take part in that decision, it’s obvious that Christy Clark does not have our consent. The Dogwood Initiative’s Let B.C. Vote campaign gives us all an opportunity to have a direct say on this decision by allowing us to pledge to support a referendum on tar sands pipelines and tankers. By going to letbcvote.ca and pledging to sign an upcoming citizen’s initiative, we can all take a step to show our provincial government that each of us has the right to decide

committed to review their own numbers as the board is one of the largest in the province. Going from nine to seven would save about $25,000 per year. Some possibilities include amalgamating North Shuswap with Carlin/Sorrento, combining Enderby and Sicamous or removing one trustee from Armstong’s current two members. Other thoughts included having three trustees for Salmon

Arm and two for an expanded Armstrong/ Spallumcheen/Falkland area. Discussion at Tuesday’s meeting had many trustees concerned about the tight timeline for consultation before the end of June in order to get the required approvals from the Ministry of Education in time for the fall election. “We aren’t having meetings all over the district but just one centralized meeting,” said

Chris Coers, Enderby trustee. “I’m not worried about getting feedback from our partner groups and the system because we all have our connections, but I am concerned that without having those community meetings and discussions, it will be really hard to get the thoughts of Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer, the people who we represent.” Michel Saab, a Salmon Arm trustee, also suggested adding a

question about possible trustee reductions to the November election ballot, as a non-binding gauge of public opinion. Saab and other board trustees believe the current timeline was too short. “We should not sacrifice quality for expedience,” he said.” The board will proceed with a public meeting June 23 to obtain public input on the issue. It will be at 7 p.m. in the district education centre.

A possible reduction of school trustees representing the North Okanagan Shuswap school district has the City of Armstrong’s blessing. The school district has started a review of possibly reducing the trustees from nine to seven as a cost-saving measure. “Some trustees only have one school in their region,” said Coun. Paul Britton, a Paul Britton counsellor at Armstrong’s Pleasant Valley Secondary School. “I think it’s a good, well-thought out move to reduce the trustees.” Armstrong and Spallumcheen currently have representation on the school district board with two trustees: Bob Fowler and Laurie Myers. The pair have five schools in their region, all in Armstrong: PVSS, Len Wood Middle School, Highland Park and Armstrong Elementary schools, and the Gateway Continuing Education Centre. The school district has been experiencing a

decline in enrolment for a number of years. Due to the decrease in the number of students, the district has had to close four schools in the past few years. Enrolment projections indicate the decline will continue. “It’s a good move to look at it and bring it up for discussion,” said Coun. Shirley Fowler. If reduced to seven trustees, the school district would also revise the electoral areas. That would include combining Armstrong/Spallumcheen with Electoral Area 6 Falkland/Deep Creek/Ranchero, and two trustees would be elected to cover that region. Armstrong council voted unanimously to support a reduction of trustees from nine to seven, and agreed to let the school board set reconfigured boundaries. Coun. Ryan Nitchie was absent from the meeting. The City of Enderby and the Regional District of North Okanagan board have spoken against the proposed reduction. Salmon Arm council discussed the review and proposed changes at its latest regular meeting but made no formal resolution. A special school board meeting on the matter will be held in Salmon Arm June 23.

Waste water urged for facility richard rolke Morning Star Staff

City of Vernon officials aren’t giving up when it comes to alternate water sources for the new sports facility. Council will urge the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee to reconsider the possibility of using treated waste water to irrigate portions of the complex next to Okanagan College. “We should do what ever we can to move this forward,” said Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe. “It’s important to show citizens that this is the sustainable way to go.” GVAC recently indicated it Mary-Jo O’Keefe would not tap into the city’s treated waste water system for irrigation because there is a need for potable drinking water for some sports events where water may be consumed. It has also been stated that $7.5 million has been budgetRob Sawatzky ed for the facility and extending the treated effluent line to the site would cost an additional $130,000. GVAC has suggested that the cost for domestic water at the facility could cost between $500 and $1,000 annually, but city staff believe that figure could be more than $18,000. “Our intention is to present the full information (to GVAC) so we can have a discussion,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky. “We always try to make the best decision based on the best information.”

Western Canada’s largest craft fair will help ensure residents don’t go hungry. Visitors to the 39th annual Creative Chaos were urged to support Vernon’s Salvation Army food bank and the event collected 4,836 food items and $3,634. “Bottle and can returns also added to this total, bringing in another $91. All tallied together, this comes to a value of $15,816,” said Brenda Sword, with the Creative Chaos committee. Beyond the food bank, funds were generated to provide scholarships to three local secondary school students and a donation was made to the Vernon Community Arts Centre. “Many thanks are extended to all of the shoppers and attendees but a special thank you to all of our community partners that contributed to make the event a success,” said Sword. “Creative Chaos wrapped up for another year with yet again a successful show.” The committee will soon start planning for the 40th annual Creative Chaos, which rins from June 5 to 7, 2015.

Youth can climb into the cockpit of a plane and go for a ride during COPA for Kids at the Vernon Airport Sunday.

Program helps kids soar Morning Star Staff

Sometimes all it takes is that first flight to ignite a lifelong passion for aviation. A popular program offering free flights for kids is returning to the Vernon Airport Sunday and a local group of volunteer pilots and airplane owners hope it will help the next generation’s interest in flying take off. The Canadian

Owners and Pilots Association for Kids aviation program, run by volunteers out of the Vernon Flying Club, pairs pilots with young people between eight and 17 years of age to give them a taste of flying. For Stuart McLean, a COPA for Kids volunteer and retired WestJet pilot, donating the time and expertise to make the event a success is

worth it. “The leap from their first flight in a single engine aircraft to becoming a jet pilot isn’t that far. Even astronaut Chris Hadfield got his start in a small plane,” said McLean. “It’s a great chance for kids to see if they’re interested in an aviation career and for us, seeing their smiles is truly rewarding.” In addition to getting

time in the air, young fliers also get a lesson on the ground where they learn about the airplane, the science of flying, and what it takes to earn their own pilot’s license. Once complete, junior pilots’ names are added to the COPA virtual logbook to commemorate their flight. While pilots and owners donate their time, aircraft, and fuel to keep the flights free for all participants, there is also a squadron of additional VFC volunteers that keep the event running. Safety is everyone’s top priority, and each pilot is licensed by Transport Canada. This year’s COPA for Kids event takes place at the Vernon Flying Club, 6210 Tronson Rd., at the Vernon Regional Airport Sunday. Registration for kids age eight to 17 starts at 8:30 a.m., with the flying running from 9 a.m. until noon. Parents signed permission is required. Forms are available on the COPA for Kids website or at the registration desk.

Public tips on bats encouraged Morning Star Staff

The Okanagan Community Bat Program is a new initiative to support bat conservation by providing information about bats and getting the public’s assistance with locating and monitoring bat populations. Residents can ask questions about health and safety concerns, get information on attracting bats and learn about options for dealing with bats in buildings. The public can contact the Community Bat Program through a new website and toll-free phone number launched today. “Of 16 species of bats in B.C., 14 species can be found in the Okanagan,” said Margaret Holm, co-ordinator. “Almost half of the species are considered at risk due to concerns about habitat changes affecting populations and limited locations for winter and summer roosting habitat.” The program is asking for the public’s help in identifying structures where groups of bats roost. These are usually maternal colonies where females give birth to their pups. Bats are protected under the B.C. Wildlife Act so homeowners managing bats in their buildings may have questions the program can help with. Interested residents who know of a bat colony can help participate in bat counts. The monitoring information is very valuable since there is very little known

An additional concern is the potential arrival of white-nose syndrome, a fungus that has already killed more than six million bats in eastern North America. Although the fungus has not yet reached B.C., it is predicted to arrive in the next decade. “We’d love to hear from people who notice bats entering buildings on their property,” said Holm.

“And for those who want to attract bats, there are a variety of bat house and bat roost options. We can give homeowners suggestions about supporting their bat habitat, or if needed, figuring out the best method and time of year to exclude the bats without endangering the adults or young.” The Okanagan Community Bat Program can be reached by calling 1-855-9BC-BATS or by visiting www.bcbcats.ca.

John Garvie (left) won Most Outstanding Male Athlete and Karley Fugel won Most Outstanding and Top Academic Female Athlete at the Rotary Athletic Awards Wednesday night at the Best Western Vernon Lodge. form to play sports is fantastic. But what you do within the platform is life changing, and I couldn’t thank you enough,” said Reid, who played more than 200 regular-season games and won two Grey Cups with the Lions. Dave Tetrault was then named Coach of the Year for his work with the Panthers. Tetrault was the head coach with the Grade 8 girls volleyball team, head coach of the junior boys football team and assistant coach on the senior boys football team. “We have a lot of good coaches here in Vernon doing a lot of good things. To win the award was quite an honour,” said Tetrault. The banquet took a minor break to serenade flustered Fulton basketball coach Dale Olson, who celebrated his 50th birthday. The Panthers continued their dominance on the podium as the senior boys basketball crew, coached by Glenn Garvie, was named team of the year. The hoopsters went 35-8 this season, a remarkable turn around from a six-win season the year before. Zac Kronbauer won the Top Academic Athlete for the Panthers. Cam Nikolic of VSS, who helps the football team, won the KISS FM Patrick Nicol Booster

award, drawing a standing ovation. Other award winners were: Most Outstanding Football Player, Karson Patommel of VSS, Most Outstanding Boys Cross Country, Mackenzie Moody of PVSS, Most Outstanding Girls Cross Country, Hannah Bennison of VSS, Most Outstanding Boys Volleyball Player, Kristian Currie of Fulton, Most Outstanding Girls Volleyball Player, Searra Becker of VSS, Most Outstanding Boys Basketball Player, Michael Rouault of Fulton, Most Outstanding Girls Basketball Player, Karley Fugel of VSS, Most Outstanding Rugby Player, Davron Polok of Fulton, Most Outstanding Boys Track and Field, Joey Kohut of Fulton, Most Outstanding Girls Track and Field, Tyra Gilbert of PVSS, Most Outstanding Boys Soccer Player, Lendrit Ademi of Seaton, Most Outstanding Girls Soccer Player, Vicki Schley of Kalamalka, Most Outstanding Golfer, Matthew McEachran-Law of Seaton, Boys Teammate of the Year, Travis Hoogland of Vernon Christian, Girls Teammate of the Year, Brianne Robertson of Charles Bloom, Boys Newcomer of the Year, Jared Sexsmith of Charles Bloom and Girls Newcomer of the Year was Megan Rouault of Fulton.

Vernon’s elite high school athletes had their shoes shined and their hair curled and the W.L. Seaton jazz band rocked the house. The inaugural Rotary North Okanagan Athletic Awards went Wednesday night at the Best Western Vernon Lodge. “We are here to recognize the discipline and commitment of these athletes to excel in sports they love as they represented their school in competitions all over the province,” said the emcee Keith Johnston of Silver Star Rotary. Members of the four rotary clubs were on hand along with former B.C. Lion Angus Reid and A.J. Eathorne, a former professional golfer, now teaching at Predator Ridge. Eathorne moved the crowd with an inspirational speech at the start of the night. “To be a good athlete and successful in life is to have goals and to work hard to achieve them,” said Eathorne, who earned more than $1 million on the LPGA Tour after starring for the New Mexico State Aggies. “If you’re smart and a good athlete, you can go far.” Karley Fugel accomplished her goals this season as she swept the top awards on the night. She won the Top Academic and Most Outstanding Female Athlete awards. “I was a little surprised, I wasn’t expecting any of this, but I’m really thrilled to receive these awards,” said Fugel. Fugel dominated the volleyball and basketball court this season for VSS. She was named MVP in every tournament she played, including the North Zone and Valley Basketball Championships where she led her team to titles. “I am really grateful for all the support I have got from my teachers, coaches and parents. I could not have done it without all their help,” said Fugel. John Garvie was named Most Outstanding Male Athlete. Garvie, a junior, captained the football and basketball teams for the Panthers. He led the Panthers to the provincial quarterfinals in football, he was named a Valley all-star defensive back, he led the Cats in scoring on the hard court and was one of the top golfers at VSS. “I was pretty nervous sitting there, listening to all the other nominees and how good of a year they had. I was in awe walking up to the stage, I couldn’t stop smiling,” said Garvie. Recently retired Lions’ centre Reid handled a football for 13 years, but had trouble handling the mic, dropping it at the beginning of his speech. Unphased and in true Reid fashion, he made light of the situation and gave himself a hard time to the crowd’s amusement. Reid, 37, took some time to thank the coaches for all their help throughout the years. “Coaches, what you do to give students a plat-

Timber blank Tirecraft The North Enderby Timber brushed back Peters Tirecraft 3-0 in North Okanagan Soccer League action Wednesday night at Marshall Field #5. The Timber (5-3) opened the scoring in the first half after some great one-two passing between Evan Frederick and Brent Poulsen which sent Poulsen in on a sharp angle, Poulsen crossed to Patrick Schindler, who nailed a great header that just crossed the line with the referee and linesmen talking things over to make sure. Poulsen put the Timber up 2-0 on a gorgeous 25-yard free kick that curled over and around the wall, top corner past motionless Tirecraft keeper Riley Spraggs. Newcomer Lucas Ross capped the attack on a sweet strike from 20 yards. NET brought out some new youngsters in Ross, Finlay McPhie and Mike Bennett, who all fit in nicely and helped NET dominate the play. Red Robin Man of the Match for 1-7 Tirecraft was central defender Clark Richardson.

Tigers pepper Rocks Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Source for Sports Tigers downed the Armstrong Shamrocks 7-4 in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League action Wednesday night at Kal Tire Place. Cole MacFarlane probably slept in an ice bath following the battle with the Tigers. The Rocks’ net detective turned away 60 shots. “It was the best game Cam has played all year,” said Shamrocks’ assistant coach Jeff Hanley. Said Tigers’ coach Keith Hanna: “We threw everything we could at him. They finally started to fall in the third. We probably hit 10 or 11 posts.” MacFarlane played minor lacrosse with the North Okanagan Legends and is a former teammate of several Tigers. The Shamrocks fell to 0-4 against the Tigers this season and have been outscored 39-15. “We are always in the mix when we play Vernon and Kamloops. We’re getting better each time as we try and mould a plan for playoffs,” said Hanley. The Tigers (8-2) won their fourth straight and trail the division-leading Kamloops Venom (10-0) by four points. The Shamrocks (3-7) saw the return of Colby Erickson from a three-game suspension. “Colby is a good player for us. He is new to the game but he is picking it up well. He is a big strong guy that moves around pretty good,” said Hanley. Jordan Orr pulled the hat trick for the Cats and sits fifth in league scoring with 13 goals and 33 points. “Jordan is playing with a lot more confidence. His shot selection is a lot better this year,” said Hanna. Connor Buick sniped a pair and Ryan Sarazin and Darrel Landels each recorded 1+2 as the Tigers scored

three goals on the powerplay and three shorthanded. Aaron Jensen made 27 saves in his return after missing the previous game against the South Okanagan Flames to rest an injury. Drew Hassard buried a pair and leads the Rocks with 10 snipes. The Rocks got singles from Joel Castle and Sam Hanley. The Tigers host the Kelowna Raiders (1-9) Saturday night at Kal Tire Place and the Shamrocks entertain the South Okanagan Flames (2-6) tonight in Armstrong.

The Everton Ridge Homes Bantam A2 Legends lost 8-2 to the Rocky View Rage of Calgary in the Sunday finals of the lacrosse tournament in Armstrong.

Each player gave it everything they had all weekend,” said Legends’ coach Casey Sherriff. The Legends edged the Rage 7-6 in their third tourney game. Beauregard was MVP as he sniped four goals and Tanner Franje-Gilbert, Kael Black and Doughty added singles. The Legends trailed 6-2 heading into the third when they scored five unanswered goals to win the game with two minutes remaining. The Legends clipped Kelowna Kodiaks 7-3 in the opener. The Legends got goals from Cody Webb, Colmorgen, Beauregard, Miles Wohlford, FranjeGilbert and James Francis who was game MVP.

Evan Moore was challenged for a midfield header and was hit from the side and suffered a swollen black eye, taking a short break as Turn-Key played with nine. The Outlaws had limited chances with Moore on the sidelines and it was scoreless at the half with Turn-Key enjoying a heavy majority of play. Andrew Pool opened the scoring at 65 minutes with a nice run and shot, bottom corner. A few more minutes later, Adam McCaffery put the ball top shelf off of Moore cross from the corner. Turn-Key (5-1-1) showed some good passing and patience going up the field that saw Gregg Finch flying on a breakaway down the left flank. He buried the shot just inside the far post. Jai Gosia was fouled in the 18 and he converted the ensuing penalty shot, bottom corner. The Outlaws pressed hard in the final minutes, forcing Gregg Douma to make the Total Restoration Save of the Game to keep the clean sheet. The Revelstoke Stallions stopped Monashee Surveying FC 3-1 to move within a point of the surveyors. The Stallions went ahead off a corner at five minutes.

Moments later, Oshanek redeemed himself and put in the rebound from Ryan Sharp’s free kick that struck the crossbar. Both teams traded chances with Revelstoke (3-2) getting the winner off a rebound.

Orange Dudes are deluxe Morning Star Staff

The Subway Orange Dudes took sole possession of first place with a 5-1 victory over Subway Navy in Under 14/15 boys youth soccer play Wednesday night at Marshall #4. Orange played a near perfect first half, creating many chances by spreading the field in possession while defensively applying constant pressure on the ball. Minyuk Son sacrificed his fresh haircut to open the score with a rare header. Shortly after, a smart through pass by Joe Eggert landed in front of Matthew Jackson, who scored with his seldom used right foot. Son added a third goal from long distance, assisted by Carter Bosquet. Navy responded after the interval with a nice goal after some slick passing. Navy got the upper hand for a few minutes, but Orange managed to put the game away when Grady Caton danced around three defenders before setting up Jackson. Caton scored the last goal after miscommunication in Blues’ back line. Navy staged a late push but Orange’s backline – led by Kieran Webster and supported by Reid Casanova, Gaman Nijar and Joseph Bateman – kept Navy’s speedy forwards in check while keeper Joel Vandeleest showed great leadership organizing his defenders and anticipating on many through balls. Speedy Evan Winther stood out in midfield having his best game of the season. Orange and Red ran to an entertaining 5-5 draw Saturday at Marshall Field #5. Orange dominated the first 30 minutes and several beautiful passing sequences led to early goals by Cole Martin, Son and Bosquet. Just before the break, Riley Bos, sporting a sweet new summer haircut, blasted a shot top corner for the Reds. Liam Hennig and Bos worked the ball up the wing and Langton Kersey converted early in the second half. Orange – inspired by defensive workhorse Nijjar – upped the tempo and a bullet from Martin followed by a clinical finish by Garreth Birch, restored the margin to three goals. Orange looked headed to an easy vic-

Last chance of the game was for Orange after Sun Valley Sports Man-of-the Match Joe Eggert beat three opponents and sent in an inviting cross which was narrowly missed by two teammates. Wilson Stewart and Colton Ryan Lewis were bold on the back line and Chris Aldrich used his speed big time for the Reds, who got several huge saves from Laughlin Byrnes. The White Knights held off Team Green 4-3 in U14/15 action. Andre Soto Alvarez, on a penalty kick in the sixth minute, Reece Hawthorne with a deluxe left footer, assisted by Sam Frisby, and Yididiya Tiessen, from Cooper McGeough, gave the Knights a 3-0 lead at 17 minutes. Team Green roared back with goals by Ben Poulin in the 37th minute and Ethan Ehman at 64 minutes before Brendan Horsfield replied for the Knights six minutes later, from Winners Man of the Match McGeough. Poulin nicely finished a feed by Ty Cooke for Green’s last goal at 73 minutes. In U18 girls play, Kidston & Co. and Subway battled to a 2-2 draw. The Kidston crew leveled the score on a great cross to Natalie Moore in the dying seconds. Midfielder Erin Hickman scored on a penalty kick for Kidston’s first tally. Dayle Strike was phenomenal in net, while sweeper Johie Burns was dynamic For Subway, Sierra Benner made a great run up the wing and crossed it to Amy Parsons for the finish. The second goal was created by beautiful footwork from Danielle Butle The Red Vultures and Team Orange drew 2-2 in U12 boys play. The Dutch boys got out to an early 2-0 lead and despite numerous chances for the Vultures, held on to the lead at half time. The Red Vultures scored early in the final half with a strike from Jakob Tarasenko, assisted by Brayden Riguidel

and Reed Spence, who played his best game of the season so far. With about seven minutes to play and a keeper switch to get some fresh legs on the field, the Vultures equalized when Ben Ethier made a great defensive play and a quick counter to Justin Brunton, who in turn fed Nicolas Petty. The Armadillos bounced the Blues 6-1 in other U12 action with Zach Manthorne supplying the opening strike, assisted by keeper Jared Ross. Manthorne, Sam Moore, Aiden Buckley, Ben Harrop and Griffin Fletcher completed the Dillo offence with assists coming from Rory Campbell (2), Fletcher and Travis Towers. Team Gold shut down the Red Tornadoes 5-0 in U13 boys play Sunday. Eric Noren and Drew Mackenzie competed hard and had a few scoring chances for the Tornadoes. The Blizzards posted a 1-0 win over Royal LePage Reds in U12 girls action, getting endless shots on net from midfielders Lauren Rollier and Grace Dae, who controlled the ball with their skillful foot work. Winger Taylor Holcroft was unbeatable with some jukes and jives. Lottie Scott ruled the left flank with speed and great passing skills, Alanna Davey was a super sniper and Jennika Helmle enjoyed bountiful energy as she repeatedly struck the goal posts. Joelee Smid pocketed the goal for the Blizzards, her first of the season. Kelsey Watts and Lisa DeBeer were marvellous on the back line, while Katelyn Holm had a quiet game as keeper for the shutout. The Red Hot Chili Peppers iced Team White 1-0 in Royal LePage U11 play with Keaton Dick scoring in the 32nd minute. Team Red recorded their fifth shutout in seven games. The Gold Rush got snipes from Cole Strilchuk and Lucas Wood (PK) in a 2-0 Saturday U13 boys win over Navy. Calvin Brule, Sheldon Yakura, Liam (Archie) Cooper, Tanner Wright and Strilchuk handled the offence as the Gold Rush ambushed the Red Tornadoes 5-0 Sunday.

White House gals fall 18-17 Morning Star Staff

The White House Mortgage Gators bowed 18-17 in extra innings to Kelowna Razz in Sunday morning’s playoff round of the SPN Women’s Slo-Pitch qualifying tournament in Kelowna. The Gators are a C team and faced A/B teams in the 12-team playdowns. They still qualify for the provincials Labour Day Weekend in Vernon, hoping to get placed in the appropriate division. “We wanted it bad and fought hard, going into extra innings with international rules (teams start the inning with a runner on second base),” said Michelle Embleton of the Gators. Both teams chipped away one inning at a time with the Razz leading 14-10 after four. The Razz had last bats and scored three runs to level the score 17-17. The Gators stranded a runner at third in their half of the extra inning. “Overall, it was a good weekend and some very good ball. We gave it our all, used everyone on the bench, and look forward to participating in the provincials,” added Embleton.

After round-robin play, the Gators were sixth and opened the A pool playoffs by falling 14-10 to Kelowna Icandy, national B runners-up last year. Shaina McGiverin went 3-for-3 with two RBI against the Icandy, while Jennifer Thatcher was 3-for-4 and Kate Carter, Jen Doyle and Shelly Ouellette all supplied two hits. The Gators opened preliminary play by losing 27-11 to the defending national B champion Kelowna Fusion. Linda Castonguay drove in three runs on three hits, while Terri-Rose Thompson was 3-for-3 with two RBI and Kate Carter was 3-for-3 with one RBI. The White House crew then ambushed Kelowna BTN 24-4 by exploding for 14 runs in the first inning.

Also representing the Gators: Brittany Housego, Courtney Bissell, Jacqueline Rivard, Jennifer Ternier, Jessica Hallam, Leigha Stenhouse, Taryn Robertson and Tiffany Disher.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder WHAT FINESSES? I CANNOT SEE ANY Stacy Keach said, “I can’t think of anything that requires more finesse than comedy, both from a verbal and visual point of view.” There is hardly a bridge deal without at least one finesse. How many potential finesses can you see in this deal? South is in six hearts. What should he do after West leads the diamond queen? North took a slight gamble in wheeling out Blackwood immediately. He planned, of course, to bid six hearts even if partner denied an ace. But it was just possible that his side was off the two top spades. South could have held 14 high-card

points without holding the spade ace or king. But the odds were in North’s favor. There are two possible finesses, one in each black suit. Which one should be tried? A finessing fan would take both, go down with this distribution and then complain about his bad luck. With the right line of play, though, the contract is guaranteed -- how? After declarer wins the first trick with dummy’s diamond king and draws trumps, he should cash dummy’s diamond ace, play a trump to his hand, ruff his last diamond in the dummy, and play a club to his nine, being careful to conserve a trump entry to the dummy.

West wins with his 10, but what can he do now? Whatever he leads concedes a 12th trick. If a spade, it is away from the king; if a club, it is around to declarer’s king-eight; if a diamond, South ruffs in one hand and sluffs a spade from the other.

City of Armstrong finance clerk Sarah Heward recently became a member of the Armstrong Co-Op. Heward was given a co-op number containing five digits. This is significant considering the case of Mary Katzuk and Mike Luniw, both of Armstrong. They have two-digit co-op numbers. Each also have had personal involvement in the growth of the local co-op over the years, and Katzuk and Luniw were presented with co-op gift cards to commemorate the occasion at the 92nd annual general meeting May 7 at the Oddfellows Hall in Armstrong. The presentation was made by Armstrong Regional Co-Op chairperson of member relations, Andrew Laird. Luniw has had his own co-op number since the age of 12, and has one of the longest continually active co-op accounts today. He and his father were involved with the installation of service station pumps. Katzuk fondly recalls the days of the co-op grocery, clothing and general supply store in downtown Armstrong. Her husband worked on construction of the Armstrong gas bar.

The legend of Hugh Bayliff

ugh Peel Lane Bayliff ’s ancestors included the Peels, who produced two prime ministers of Britain and the Lane family, who were mayors of Hereford. Bayliff came as an 18-year-old to B.C. in 1882 and presented himself to Clement Cornwall at Ashcroft Manor. Cornwall arranged for Bayliff to work for William Roper at Cherry Creek, west of Kamloops, to learn the ranching business. Bayliff later reported that he worked feeding cattle every day from early December until March 9 before he earned any time off — a Sunday afternoon. During that winter, he wrote home: “We are all much too big. I am so tall, in cold weather the ends of me are so far away from the centre of warmth … I am getting so horribly mean and miserly … I hope mother will send me some socks. I try to hide the fact that mine are worn out.” The young mud pup learned his trade well and distinguished himself with his roping skills. He also became an excellent rider and was often called upon to break a cayuse that no one else could handle. William Roper was one of the first to attempt to improve his stock, importing Hereford cattle and Clydesdale horses, and Bayliff saw the advantages of purebred stock before most ranchers even thought about it. Before long, he became Roper’s cow boss and took charge of driving cattle to the CPR construction camps. A severe drought hit the interior of B.C. in the summer of 1886 and Bayliff, thinking it was time to start a ranch of his own, set out to find a place with good grass and water.

His travels brought him to the Chilcotin plateau, which at that time was still sparsely settled. Bayliff took a job looking after a pack train for Tom Hance and took his time to check out the country. He spent that winter in a little cabin overlooking the Chilcotin River. In the spring he was Ken Mather impressed with the way the Chilcotin River overflowed its banks and naturally irrigated the bottomland. Remembering the dry Cherry Creek summers, he pre-empted a beautiful piece of land between Alexis Creek and Redstone, and went into partnership with another Englishman, Norman Lee. To stock his ranch he went to William Roper and made an arrangement that showed the trust that had grown between to the two men. He took 100 yearling heifers with the understanding that, in five years, the partners would return the original 100, plus one-half of the cattle they would produce. Some Shuswap natives from the Kamloops area helped drive the heifers and a few purebred Hereford bulls to the new ranch. However, after crossing the Fraser River at the Gang Ranch, the Shuswaps would come no further as they were afraid of the warlike Chilcotins. They roped and banded all the heifers and Bayliff continued alone. True to his word, Bayliff made good his agreement, returning over 200 cows to Roper five years later. In 1891, Bayliff returned to England and brought back enough funds to purchase Norman Lee’s share of the ranch. He also brought back a bride, Gertrude Tyndle,

Ranch Tales

a daughter of the editor of The London Times. Mrs. Bayliff was a skilled sidesaddle rider and regularly helped with round-ups. She also owned two racehorses and entered them in races at Becher’s Prairie at Riske Creek. The Bayliffs stayed true to their upbringing, always dressing for dinner at a table set with silver and fine china. They were

also enthusiastic polo players and organized games among the local settlers. When Hugh Bayliff died in 1934, his holdings, the 3,000-acre Chilanko Ranch, were taken over by his son, Gay.

The Chilanko Ranch is operated by the Bayliff family to this day. Ken Mather is curator emeritus at O’Keefe Ranch and a Spallumcheen-based author.

They’re sexy and they know it The Comic Strippers are oiled up and ready to get their groove on when they take most of it off in Vernon Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

Veteran fans of Saturday Night Live have to remember one of late comedian Chris Farley’s more famous skits – the Chippendales’ audition. The vision of Farley shaking his belly to Loverboy’s Working for the Weekend in sync with a buff Patrick Swayze is hard to shake off. There’s something about men willing to take most of it off – or in The Full Monty’s case, all of it off – that has women, and men, laughing along in blushed awe while wiping the tears away from their eyes. It’s comedy gold – just ask Vancouver comedian Roman Danylo who, with three fellow comics, is bringing the fictitious male stripper troupe, The Comic Strippers, to Vernon in a semi-undressed, totally unscripted show, June 28. “Guys should not shy away from this show,” insists Danylo. “The split usually is 70 per cent women and 30 per cent guys who attend, so it’s smart for guys to go.” Best known for appearing for five seasons on CTV’s Comedy Inc., and who some will recall from the last time he was in Vernon in October with The Ultimate Comedy Show, Danylo has gathered some of Vancouver’s top improv comics unafraid to bare their chests, and souls. Known for their work with Vancouver TheatreSports League are improv masters and sketch comics Ken Lawson and Chris Cassillan, while David Milchard appears as the “child” in the hilarious YouTube web series, Convos With My 2 Year Old, which has had more than 40 million views. The idea to get grown men of “normal” body types to do a strip improv show came after Danylo’s wife came home from seeing an actual male strip show. “I thought, ‘we have torsos, we could do that.’ Here’s a genre nobody is making fun of yet,” said Danylo. “This was before Magic Mike came out. When the movie hit theatres, it actually helped us along… When we watched the movie, which had a serious take

The Comic Strippers, Ken Lawson, Chris Cassillan, Roman Danylo and David Milchard, will be partially undressed and completely unscripted when they take over the Vernon Performing Arts Centre stage Saturday, June 28. on it, we were surprised how many laughs were in it as well. The whole idea makes people giggle.” Unlike shows like The Puppetry of the Penis, which raised a few eyebrows when it came to Vernon some years ago, The Comic Strippers does have a partial nudity clause, but that’s not to say the show isn’t dangerous. “We have comedy bodies,” said Danylo. “We do the reverse of working out. If someone gets too fit, like our tech guy noticed not too long ago, then we know we’ve been working too hard.” Nicknamed the “Thunder from the Tundra,” when they were in Vegas and in Australia, The Comic Strippers are constantly grooving and gyrating. They sing and dance and in between scenes they banter with the crowd and perform their hilarious

twist on improv sketches. “Our improv-based comedy is based on picking apart different genres. We do some crazy twists on it. Every time we do it, the audience plays a role in the show and we get some crazed audience members shouting out to us,” said Danylo. With corporate and fringe events under their proverbial belts, The Comic Strippers have brought their act from Fort McMurray to Vegas to Adelaide, Australia. “We played to around 600 people in Fort Mac in January. There were a lot of Newfoundlanders there bringing the heat,” said Danylo, adding that most people get the joke of their act as soon as the boys bound on stage flexing their... muscles. “It’s happened on occasion where people didn’t realize this is a comedy show, but after

10 seconds they get it. We are playing with fire, but everyone has gotten the irony.” With a winning recipe of strut and sass, the boys plan to continue “stripping” until they just can’t handle the pressure any longer. “We gotta do this now. There’s a short shelf life to this. There’s an age thing and then there will be the point where we physically cannot do this,” said Danylo. “(However,) it’s a fun show to continue experimenting with. I dread the day it becomes work. Right now, we’re still backstage giggling and doing push ups at the last minute to beef up.” The Comic Strippers take over the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Saturday, June, 28 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $32 (with group discounts available for six people or more) at the Ticket Seller box office, 250-549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.

No fault with these stars

The Fault in Our stars

azel Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley) and Augustus Waters (Ansel Elgort) are star-crossed teenage lovers who happen to have cancer. His is in remission, while her’s is responding well to treatment. After meeting at a support group, the two fall for each other’s charms, slowly at first, then all at once. With Hazel’s mom Frannie (Laura Dern) chaperoning, the beautiful couple embark to Amsterdam to meet their favourite author, Peter Van Houten (Willem Dafoe). We say, “It’s a perfect storm of heartstrings.” TAYLOR: I just watched a great movie with 200 women. There were about 10 men. I counted. Most of the women were actually girls. There was a lot of mewling and sighing, but also a lot of crying, so there’s that to look forward to. Seriously though, this film is really good. It’s effective, it makes you like the characters and then it rips your heart out. So sit back, and enjoy. HOWE: Every now and again I get to see a movie that I am not really looking forward

Reel Reviews

Taylor and Howe

to watching, this being one of them. Yet saying that, The Fault in Our Stars sneaked up behind me, reached around the front and stealing one of Mr. Taylor’s lines, ripped my heart out. This must be one of, if not the most saddest movies I have ever seen. Not since E.T back in the ‘80s have I cried as much at a film. Couple that with two great performances from Woodley and Elgot and to me you have the best movie of the year so far. TAYLOR: I thought Hazel and Gus were pretty sophisticated teens, but believable taken within the context. After all, these are kids dealing with their own mortality. This makes the film a bit of a bummer, but that too is the point. Like Gus and Hazel we to are supposed to realize that the time we have here is precious, so we should make the most of it.

presents:

20th Century Fox

Gus (Ansel Elgort) and Hazel (Shailene Woodley) aren’t going to let cancer get in the way of love in The Fault in Our Stars. For this reason I think it’s unfair to think of The Fault in Our Stars as a “chick flick,” or even merely romantic. Everyone loves someone, hopefully. Everyone hates to see loved ones go through illness. The strength of the film is achieved by us being able to appreciate these truisms and that is simply the product of great filmmaking. – Taylor gives The Fault in Our Stars 4.5 faultless stars out of 5. – Howe gives it 5 good cries out of 5. The film is currently playing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Choir to take Vernon on Global Journey Morning Star Staff

Rise up soul sisters and brothers, Vancouver’s City Soul Choir is about to take Vernon on a Global Journey to explore some of the world’s greatest song traditions. Led by music director Brian Tate, the choir performs at Trinity United Church, Saturday, June 21. “The more than 90 singers who make up the choir share a love of music that lifts the soul, moves the body, and fills the heart,” said Tate. The secular choir’s repertoire comes from the world’s great inspirational music traditions including R&B, world, soul, gospel, funk, spirituals, and more. “We sing of joy, hope, and social justice. Our audiences love to groove, move, and feel the joy,” said Tate. While in Vernon, members of the choir will perform soulful music from Haiti, Cuba, Kenya, Spain, Georgia, New Zealand, and other exotic destinations. Music from Canada is also on the program including that from the Lil’wat First Nations in the west and travelling to Newfoundland outposts in the east. “Joining the choir are several guests from our community of Vernon including the amazingly talented Neil Fraser

White shows all his stripes

Jack White: Lazaretto

etroit musician Jack White is a bit of a barroom Renaissance man who mixes his passions (music historian, instrument collector, Library of Congress board member, analog enthusiast) with being a rock star. It all comes out on Lazaretto, his second solo album – an all-

the-way-down mix of raunched-up blues, garage rock, instru-

mentals and saloon style westerns. While it’s similar in spirit to Blunderbuss (his last album), Lazaretto is more abstract and free form with a richer band sound and wilder ideas. It’s rock, country, blues, garage – whatever. It all fits. A remarkable sevensong run starts the album. Everything’s there, including

some spooky Ennio Morricone flavoured exploration (Would You Fight for My Love) and one of White’s most menacing riffs since The White Stripes (Lazaretto). Add some Appalachian saloon rock and nasty instrumental action (High Ball Stepper), where White riffs like Neil Young on meth, scrolling through the noise while the band rages. Lazaretto showcases White’s shape shifting abilities with stirring honky tonk laments (Alone In My Home, Entitlement) along with his patented fractured blues workouts. Being a rocker at heart, White and band lay down a Velvet Undergroundstyle stomp on Just One Drink – this is what White would sound like if he played bars. White fuses his main areas of interest (blues, rock, country) on Lazaretto along with plenty of other nuances – mainly mayhem, kitsch and general eccentricity. He manages to be interesting, raw and expressive, mixing kitchen sink ideas with his take on traditional music forms. White’s intensity is the cohesion that brings his vision together.

It’s a day for dads at the farm Morning Star Staff

Davison Orchards would like to invite dads and families of all ages to come celebrate Father’s Day at the farm. The Davison family is transforming their lower parking lot into a massive sand pit in order to hold their first ever Dad’s Day Sandcastle Competition. “We have two dump truck loads of sand coming, so the parking lot will be ready for families to build,” said Shane Landreville, marketing and events coordinator at the farm. “Fathers will be encouraged

to get their kids’ help to build their own masterpiece. The sand castles will then be photographed and posted on the Davison Facebook page for voting and the creation with the most likes will win one pie per month till the end of the season.” For those kids who want to make something special, there will also be a free handprint craft to make for dad. For boys of all ages, the Davisons will be showcasing their antique tractor collection with Bob Davison available to share history and answer tractor questions.

As a Father’s Day gift, the Davisons will be giving free farm tours on the Johnny Popper for all dads. “We have activities that dads of all ages will enjoy, but we also know that dads like to eat, so of course we have plenty of tasty food on offer,” said Landreville. “On top of the regular café menu, their will be a barbecue featuring ribs, burgers and sausages.” Dad’s Day at the farm runs Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, see www.davisonorchards.ca or call 250-549-3266.

Another spring has heralded the arrival of the smallest of our feathered friends, the hummingbird. We are fortunate to be home to three types of hummingbirds. There is the Black Chinned, which sports a magnificent royal purple fluorescent throat. The next is the Calliope, with its stunning ragged pink gorget, and then the noisy little Rufous with his red/ brown back and brilliant red throat. While they are here for their breeding season some of us like to feed them. Here are some tips to feed them responsibly and safely. The most important factor is to have clean

feeders. This cannot be stressed enough. An unclean feeder will harbour mould, and mould is a killer. Use feeders that are easy to clean. Some feeders may look pretty but it can be very difficult to clean those hard-to-reach places. A feeder needs to able to be dismantled to clean each component. If you have black mould then clean the mould away and soak the feeder for an hour in a mixture of ¼ cup bleach to one gallon of water. Rinse all parts of your feeder several times to ensure there is no bleach residue. Before each filling wash the feeder in hot water using a bottle brush and pipe cleaner for the small openings. It is amazing just how quickly mould will develop! Once a month clean your feeders with the above bleach mixture whether there has been mould present or not. Many people use the eight-ounce inverted glass feeder. Although they can be taken completely apart for cleaning you may find the yellow bee guards get mould in them. The problem lies in the leakage of the nectar into the flower shaft when birds land to feed, unfortunately this also attracts insects. There are other styles of inverted feeders but some are a little tough to clean the inside of the base. Having said that, you may have one that cleans very well. Most of them do have perches which help the hummers conserve energy while feeding. A newer innovation is the basin style. If you can find them with red flowers that is even better (yellow tends to attract bees). I have read

karen siemens photo

Hummingbirds have arrived in the area, and the North Okanagan Naturalists’ Club offers some tips for feeding the tiny birds. that you can paint the flowers but I haven’t tried that yet. They also have a perch. These feeders have a lid that just lifts off. The whole base is open but you still have to remove the flowers to clean under them and use a pipe cleaner in the openings. You can also purchase ones whose flowers are incorporated into the basic mold so there are no movable or removable parts which simplifies cleaning. The recipe for your humming bird food is one part white sugar to four parts water: for example one cup of sugar to four cups of water or ¼ cup of sugar to one cup of water. Low boil for one to two minutes (leave the lid on so water does not evaporate while boiling as that increases the concentration), cool before putting in clean feeder.

Eccles. 3:1: “There is a time to every purpose under the heaven.” The slayer of the wicked and the cleansing of the earth by the fiery judgements of God will be followed by a time of restoration and helping. Yahweh is the great physician who satisfies and heals the nations, before the dread leprosy of sin and death. This healing is made possible by the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ on Calvary. This follows the preaching and spiritual ministration of Jesus and the saints.

This food can be stored in the fridge for seven days. Never use brown sugar, honey or sugar substitutes as these contain components that will harm the birds. Do not add red dye, and save yourself money by not buying pre-made food from the store. The best food is made by you. If the food is becoming cloudy you have left it out too long and it is spoiled. To avoid that here are some easy guides. Below 21 degrees once a week. 21 to 26 degrees every five days, 27 to 30 degrees every three days, 31 to 33 degrees every two days and over 33 degrees change every day. Note: If your feeder is in the sun you will have to change it more frequently, err on the side of caution. If you are not around

for the whole season to maintain your feeder then don’t start to feed them. It is better to have plants that are hummingbird-friendly instead. It doesn’t have to be a huge ground garden it can easily be done with containers either sitting on your deck or in hanging baskets. They tend to favour tubular shaped flowers. Here are just a few of the flowers that your hummers would enjoy: petunia, salvia, fuschsia, snapdragon and verbena. All of these are easily available at your local nursery. (Just remember that if you have cats around make sure that the flowers are well beyond a cat’s jump height.) Happy hummingbird feeding.

Our friends to the south don’t have access to such awesomeness. But on the flip side, it’s only available on the base model. Aside from the 6-speed manual, Subaru offers their version of a Continuously Variable Transmission, aka the Lineartronic CVT. While some might not be a fan of this type of transmission, don’t knock it until you try it. Subaru does an excellent job with the gear simulations and I didn’t feel the drone of the system under hard acceleration, even with the 4-cylinder. While I’d pick a manual any day, the CVT is darn good. So is the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, a standard feature on all Legacy trims.

Safety Tip: This early summer weather means more cyclists on the road, so as a driver shoulder checking is very important – especially when making right hand turns at intersections, before pulling away from a curb and before you open your vehicle door.

Which cars on the market today don’t I like? It’s a question I’m often asked and one I struggle to answer. Today’s automobiles are made so well, there are no real turkeys. But, and there is always a “but”, there are certainly cars I like more than others and some I prefer not to drive. The regular Smart ForTwo is one of them. The small dimensions are perfect as a city runabout but the lethargic gasoline engine and very choppy automatic transmission make it more work to drive than I prefer. Well, after driving the latest Smart ForTwo Electric Drive (Smart Electric) my

The Smart Electric looks like the regular Smart, with a compact little body that provides and amazing amount of interior space and a lot of crash protection on the outside. The exterior of all the Smart Cars have been designed as a singular safety cage, called the Tridion Safety Cell. Other cars have exterior panels that absorb impacts the Smart’s exterior metal bits are the strongest part of the car. In crash tests, these tiny cars fare well. The Smart Electric, just like the gasoline version, is available as a coupe or cabriolet. Spotting a Smart Electric is a bit tricky; this is not like buying a Toyota Prius or Chevy Volt.

Drive Under the cargo shelf in the back is the Lithium-Ion battery pack that has 17.6kWh or roughly, a 135km range when fully charged. This little car can be quick too, thanks to the 96 ft.-lbs. of instant torque from the electric motor. This moves the car along quickly, but the throttle has been calibrated for smooth acceleration, helping the driver gain the best efficiency. I should point out that the high centre of gravity, short wheelbase and slightly choppy ride all combine to make a less than connected car in the corners, so be aware that this car can accelerate quickly but it will not corner quickly.

What the electric version has over the regular gasoline model is a much smoother delivery of power. No more anemic gasoline engine and gone is the choppy transmission. The electric motor is smooth and refined.

Verdict Once again, the Smart is a perfect of example of how to get the most out of a small space. The electric cord that connects the car to a 120-volt outlet is packaged into the tailgate of the car; in fact this is the best electric car packaging I’ve seen. Most companies just leave a bag in the trunk, while this system hides it all away. With a starting price of $26,990 for the coupe or $29,990, the Smart Electric is an expensive two-seat car but a bargain the electric world, the least expensive in Canada. The regular gasoline Smart is really an inner-city runabout, which is why the electric version makes so much sense. With up to 138km of range, this Smart Electric will have more than enough range for existing Smart buyers and a great second car for any city family. The Smart electric is now on my list of cars that I truly enjoy driving, the best Smart of the bunch. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Nearly New: Ford Escape has full package By Bob McHugh

The Ford Escape is a founder member and a top-seller in the hot-selling compact utility club. It came with a new-look The Escape’s exterior, an interior makeover reliability is generally and improved safety features for the 2008 model year, all rated average to included a complete secbetter than average ond-generation redesign. and repair costs are Although it doesn’t look generally lower-thantoo much different from its predecessor, the ’08 Escape average. has a wider stance and a slightly higher belt line than Bob McHugh its predecessor and there are no carry-over body panels. A domed hood, bigger grille and new headlamps also give this Escape a slightly more aggressive look and it has better off-road attributes in terms of approach, break-over and departure angle capabilities. A base front-drive Escape XLS is powered by a 2.3-litre engine. Moving up a step, the XLT trim allowed a 3.0-litre V6 option and a tow package that bumped trailer-hauling capability to 1,588 kg (3500 lb). The top-line Limited came with leather, dual climate control air conditioning and Audiophile sound system, more power features, and the V6 engine. Four-wheel-drive was an option with every trim level. If an urban commute is your vehicles primary job and good fuel economy is important there’s also a hybrid version of the Escape. It has a smoother and quieter powertrain than the first generation Escape Hybrid, introduced in 2003, and its city-driven fuel economy rating is an ultra-frugal 5.7 L/100 km. It was also available in both front-drive and four-wheel-drive. While stability control was standard on all gas-engine versions of the ’08 Escape, it wasn’t available on the Hybrid. Same story for a related new safety feature on the ’08, called Roll Stability Control (RSC). Particularly useful on taller vehicles, the RSC system automatically responds when a potential rollover is detected, by selectively applying brakes and/or decreasing the engine torque. Both of these important active safety features were made standard on the ‘09 and newer Escape Hybrid. The ’09 model year also brought big changes under-hood. A new 2.5-litre 4-cylinder engine, a modified version of the 3.0-litre V6, two new transmissions and the hybrid got an even more refined drivetrain with an Atkinson cycle gasoline engine. The new five-speed manual transmission, in combination with the 4-cylinder engine, was only available in Escape models sold in Canada. The Escape Hybrid is a full hybrid and capable of running purely on electric power up to about 40 km/hour. It also uses a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Although it doesn’t function with a conventional gear set, it still offers a low-range setting for challenging terrain. The 2010 model year brought trim upgrades to Escape and all models got standard Blind Spot Mirrors. A top-line Limited trim was added to Escape Hybrid offerings and an Auto Park System, which automatically steers the Escape into a parallel parking spot, was a new option. Ford Escape was essentially unchanged for 2011 and 2012, other than some new exterior colours and option packages. The 2012 model was the final year of this generation Ford Escape. The Escape’s reliability is generally rated average to better than average and repair costs are generally lower-than-average, according to Consumer Reports. The Hybrid edition typically rates a little better. Resale prices are reasonable and there’s typically a good supply of used Ford Escape models out there. You can expect to pay an additional $2,000 to $4,000 for a Hybrid model.

Price Check: 2008 - 2012 Ford Escape (June 2014) Year Edition Expect to Pay Today 2008 XLT 4X4 $10,000 to $13,000 2009 XLT 4X4 $12,000 to $15,000 2010 XLT 4X4 $14,000 to $17,000 2011 XLT 4X4 $16,000 to $19,000 2012 XLT 4X4 $19,000 to $23,000

Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase. Safety Recalls: 2008 to 2012 Ford Escape: 2008/2009/2010/2011/2012: A fault in the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system could result in a sudden loss of power steering assist, without warning to the driver. This would significantly increase the effort required by a driver to steer at lower vehicle speeds. Dealers will affect repairs as necessary and reprogram the EPS controller with updated software. 2010: The automatic transmission’s park rod guide retention pin may not have been properly installed. This may prevent the transmission park pawl from engaging when shifted into “PARK” and allow vehicle movement. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, install the missing park rod guide retention pin.

Hawthorne, James Bruce (Jim)

October 14th 1943 – June 4th 2014 Jim, the youngest of three boys, was born in Tulare, California to Felix and Andrine Hawthorne. As a child his family moved to northern BC and ulƟmately seƩled in Kelowna where Jim grew up. He also spent Ɵme at the family cabin on Westside Zoad. AŌer high school Jim moved to sancouver and aƩended BCIT, where he completed his training and became a Journeyman Electrician. In 1966, while working in Hope, he met the love of his life, Elaine, and they were later married in 1968. They had three children and aŌer living in Creston, WenƟcton and Kamloops, they seƩled in sernon in 19ϳϳ. Jim worked for over 20 years at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital, both as the Head Electrician and Superintendent, overseeing the electrical component of the expansion in the 1980s. He reƟred in 2004. Jim was a very caring individual, always willing to lend a hand and to help out. He had a reputaƟon of being a problem solver, able to build or Įx anything and he was oŌen referred to as MacGyver. Many people have shared stories of how Jim helped them or what he built or Įxed ... that was just Dad. He was giŌed with a unique set of skills and abiliƟes. He lived life to the fullest. He water skied at the naƟonal level and was an avid snowboarder͖ boarding ũust this last season at the age of ϳ0͊ Jim was content with the simpler things in life. It wasn͛t about what he had or did͖ his happiness was found in spending Ɵme with family or in helping others. Simple accomplishments made him proud; he was kind and humble. He loved to be busy, he provided, he puƩered, he built, he created, he planted, he Įxed and repaired and made things for the people he loved and cared about. He was a doer, a Įnisher, a followͲthrough kind of guy. He enũoyed feeding the birds and walking with Elaine, enũoying the beauty of their parkͲlike yard; the birds, Ňowers and the trees. Jim loved watching his grandchildren͛s many acƟviƟes; he doted on his Springer Spaniels, Bart and Spice, and took pleasure in spending Ɵme at the summer cabin. Jim was a devoted husband to his wife Elaine, father to Zex (Melissa), Cheryl (MarcͲAndrĠ) and Mark (Nicole) and grandfather to Makayla, Zeece, Maxim, Nicholas, Isabelle, Ava and Ella. He is survived by his older brother Zon (Zeba) of Cocolalla, Idaho. He will be deeply missed by all. We struggle to Įnd words to sum up our father͛s life. He was a man of great integrity and values. He could build or Įx anything. We are immensely grateful for the Ɵme we had with him and we will miss the conversaƟons, the advice, the help; above all, being able to spend more Ɵme with him. ad was a role model who taught us life lessons by doing. Whatever he did, he did to the best of his ability and what he started, he Įnished. We will miss his smile, his paƟence and his uncondiƟonal love; husband, father, friend and conĮdant.

Abuses lead to government action

n 2009, I attended a meeting with the Hotel Association of B.C. and the Yukon. The association’s main concern was it could not domestically hire enough house keepers to prepare for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. It needed 8,000 people and was asking our government to help meet this need. The temporary foreign workers program was established before the Conservatives formed government. Colin Mayes However, in recent years, pressure from mostly western businesses has driven the numbers of temporary foreign workers to more than 360,000.

Two years ago, violations of the intent of the program were uncovered and the minister instructed the department to review the program and tighten the regulations. The human resources and employment committee, of which I am a member, also studied this topic and sent a report to the minister of our findings. The department implemented new guidelines and began more rigorous enforcement. Much reporting has been in the news of late about those who are in violation of the intent of this program. The minister has acted decisively and banned those who have violated the guidelines of the program and is further investigating unfair labour practices to possibly bring penalties and/or legal action against offenders. Since the program was implemented, Canadians have

been a priority for job opportunities and that has not changed. Even though there have been violations of the program, remember, that this might be 1,000 temporary foreign workers of the 360,000 now in Canada. The program serves its purpose. The government did not abuse this program. It was the unscrupulous business practices of a few. It was not the fault of the temporary foreign worker and in fact, they are the victims in these violations. Your government is committed to Canadians first and is helping Canadians train to equip them for the jobs in demand today. The employers using the program are being asked to submit plans to fill the jobs now being held by temporary foreign workers with Canadians and, to report the terms and conditions of the temporary foreign workers they currently employ.
