Local pair charged in nationwide sting Morning Star Staff
Eleven B.C. men, including two from Vernon, have been arrested and charged in a nationwide investigation spearheaded by the RCMP’s National Child Exploitation Coordination Centre. The investigation began from coast-to-coast in February. “To date, we have 32 charges against 11 men,” said B.C. RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Rob Vermeulen. “There are also a number of investigations that remain ongoing.” The Vernon men arrested are aged 46 and 49. Each face three charges of possessing/ accessing and making available child pornography. Other men arrested from B.C. are from Kelowna, Revelstoke, Burnaby, Duncan,
Nanaimo, Sidney, Surrey and Williams Lake. Ages of the arrested range from 23 to 65. More than 150 individuals were arrested or are presently under investigation in the operation which is called Operation Snapshot III. Five children, including two from B.C., were removed from harm. Vermeulen would not say where the B.C. kids are from. “For every person arrested and prosecuted, dozens of potential future victims are saved from harm,” said RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson. “Over the past three years, Snapshot has built on the dedication, partnership and collaborative efforts of police agencies, sending a message to would-be abusers that we will not be deterred from protecting children.” The operation targeted child sex offenders who collect, possess, share, make available,

distribute and produce child sexual exploitation material online. Snapshot III involved 167 investigations that were conducted by municipal, provincial and federal police services, which resulted in the seizure of hundreds of computers and hard drives along with nearly two million images or videos. Operation Snapshot III follows the two previously successful operations: Operation Snapshot in 2012 targeted individuals in the Prairie and Northern regions of Canada, and Operation Snapshot II in 2013 focused on individuals in Atlantic Canada. The two operations combined were responsible for the rescue of five children, the arrest of 54 individuals and the seizure of millions of child sexual exploitation images and countless leads in other child sexual exploitation cases.
A Westside Road resident was confronted in a home invasion of the fourlegged variety. Authorities converged on a property near Westshore Estates Wednesday at about 9 a.m. after receiving a report of a cougar inside the home. “A woman had the front door open and was in the kitchen and heard the noise of a squeaky toy. She went into the living room and saw a cougar chewing on the toy,” said Josh Lockwood, conservation officer. The woman immediately left the house and called 911. “She was panicked but she did the right thing,” said Lockwood. Once on scene, officers found a 12 to 18-monthold, 35 to 45-pound female cougar in the laundry room. An attempt was made to euthanize the animal but the equipment failed, so the officers left the house. When they went back inside, the cougar was in the living room. A catchpole was then used to restrain the animal. “It was in an emaciated state so it was euthanized,” said Lockwood, who admits to being surprised by the incident. “To have a cougar in a house, this is the first one for our area.”

Pedestrian struck on Hospital Hill

Morning Star Staff
A pedestrian accident that closed Highway 97 on Vernon’s Hospital Hill for several hours Wednesday remains under RCMP investigation. A 51-year-old Vernon man was struck by a northbound tractor-trailer unit as he was crossing the highway near the
intersection of 21st Avenue and 32nd Street shortly after 12:30 p.m. “Our officers and a crash reconstructionist have been speaking to witnesses,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “The incident remains under investigation.” The pedestrian was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital
with serious injuries. He is expected, however, to make a full recovery. The driver of the tractortrailer, a North Okanagan man, did not suffer any physical injuries but police said he was quite shaken by the incident. “He stopped immediately and fully cooperated with police,” said Molendyk, who
added that while the case is still under investigation, no charges have been laid in the accident. “It is going to take some time to fully determine what happened,” said Molendyk. Northbound traffic on the highway was closed for several hours, and rerouted around the area, while police investigated.
Two of the three people who led Okanagan Mounties on a high-speed, bullet-riddled chase in 2012 pleaded guilty to the roles they played in the dramatic episode. Crown Counsel Murray Kaay said Shawn Adam Wysynski pleaded guilty to robbery with prohibited firearm and attempted robbery with prohibited firearm. Ashlee Collins pleaded guilty to knowingly being in vehicle where there were illegal firearms. They will be sentenced in September. Meantime Michael Edward Ellis, the alleged gunman, remains behind bars and will start his trial that month as well. He’s charged with several counts of attempted murder, several counts of robbery and weapons offences. The episode happened on Westside Road on July 31, 2012. The one-hour chase that led police from West Kelowna to Vernon, via Westside Road, started when Mounties tried to do a routine pullover of a green Dodge Caravan. The van sped away and within minutes, shots were fired from both sides. Unconfirmed reports have indicated that the van’s wheels were shot out, but they were able to continue their getaway by carjacking at least two others in their path. Despite the drama, Collins was the only injured party from the danger-fraught drive, although police have said the members of the three detachments involved were on tenterhooks throughout it all, as they feared for the safety of their co-workers. The maximum sentence for Wysynski is life imprisonment. Collins could face a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
Residents urged to reduce incidence of bears richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Coldstream residents are being warned to secure their garbage or bears will needlessly die. The Ministry of Environment is receiving two to three calls a day about bears getting into residential garbage. “People are saying there’s been a bear in their garbage for three or four days and they want the bear gone,” said Josh Lockwood, conservation officer. “But what about putting your garbage away?” The complaints have come from throughout Coldstream, but mostly south
“It’s a safe community issue.” — Lockwood
of Kalamalka Road. There have been no conflicts yet, but conditions could change. “Eventually we will have to set a trap or respond to a bear being aggressive and it will be destroyed,” said Lockwood.
If a bear is trapped, they generally cannot be relocated successfully because they are placed into another animal’s habitat. There’s also the fact that once addicted to garbage, a bear will not return to natural food sources and will return to neighbourhoods more than 20 kilometres away. “You’re just transporting the problem from one area to another,” sad Lockwood. Lockwood is urging residents to secure their garbage to prevent access from bears, and for residents to encourage their neighbours to take action. “It’s a safe community issue. Every household has to buy into garbage containment,” he said.

The curtain has gone up on ArmstrongSpallumcheen’s 2014 Citizen of the Year. And it’s a gentleman well known in theatre circles. Wayne Ashton was named Citizen of Year 2014 Tuesday. Ashton is a founding member of Asparagus Community Theatre, and was also instrumental in obtaining funding for the current Centennial Theatre. “He was absolutely thrilled, very happy,” said Ashton’s wife, Janet, about receiving the honour. “He knows so many — Janet Ashton of the previous citizens of the year that were at the tea (Tuesday) to congratulate him.” A positive force in the community since moving to Armstrong with his young family in the early 1970s, Ashton is fondly noted for his warmth and kindness extended to all. “Many young people have benefitted from Wayne’s positive influence through theatre work and have increased self-confidence and self-worth because of this generous man’s encouragement,” said one nominator. Another said: “One page is not enough to list all the contributions of Wayne Ashton to the health and goodwill of our community. He is truly a beloved local treasure.” In 2013, Ashton worked with the Armstrong100 Committee and the City of Armstrong to put together a re-enactment of Armstrong’s first council meeting and, later in the year, assisted with a historical play about Armstrong called It’s All About the People. Ashton was honoured by past Citizens of the Year on Tuesday at a special tea hosted by the Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum and Art Gallery. He will receive official recognition as Citizen of the Year 2014 during the opening ceremony of Canada Day Celebrations held in Memorial Park on July 1. In addition, Ashton will be the honourary parade marshall for the 2014 Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce IPE parade Aug. 30.

and you will be missed,” she said. However, Baker has made it clear he is not impressed with Rose. “He’s entitled to his opinion but I’m not sure what he’s basing his figures on. I’m not sure what he thinks his role is as ex-administrator,” said Baker. Baker insists that restructuring reflects the direction of his council. “I’ve always been in favour of getting things more streamlined and people who do their job and have a can-do attitude, and that’s what we have now,” he said. “We’re accomplishing a whole lot more given how present administration is working.”

administrator.” Rose also questions the amount of money being spent for economic development trips. At Tuesday’s council meeting, Rose had sharp words for the elected officials. “You have just set this municipality back 10 years. What a legacy that you have left for the fine people of Lake Country and the next council to repair,” he said.
“Yes Mayor Baker, that is your legacy, the mayor and council who wasted a million dollars in one term.” Coun. Lisa Cameron supports the comments made by Rose. “They are absolutely fair. Chasing the illusion of savings by firing the people around you is still an illusion,” she said. Cameron says staff who have lost their jobs through restructuring should be acknowledged “We, as a community lose talent, history and integrity with these staff departures, and on behalf of the citizens of Lake Country who value these qualities in municipal employees, I’d like to say thank you

Economic conditions rebound richard rolke
Morning Star Staff
Economic renewal appears to be underway. Those attending the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce’s mayors and planners breakfast Thursday heard that the worst of the financial downturn is over and growth is moving ahead. “Things are looking up,” said Rick Fairbairn, Regional District of North Okanagan vicechairperson, who took to the podium with Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky and Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick. From January to May, RDNO has experienced building values of $12 million, while building permits in Coldstream are ahead of last year. In Vernon, there has been $20 million in building permits so far, up 20 per cent from 2013. “We scraped along the bottom (of the recession) and we’re starting to move up,” said Sawatzky. Among the projects moving ahead is a $1.4 million facility for Environment Canada on 31st Street. “It will draw employees from Kelowna, Kamloops and Penticton and nothing makes me happier,” said Sawatzky. The city has also

Rob Sawatzky, Vernon mayor, speaks to the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce at the Prestige Hotel Thursday. received an application for a large expansion to B.C. Hydro’s 25th Avenue complex. It could cover seven buildings over 120,000-square-feet. “It would have the capacity for 300 people,” said Sawatzky. “It’s not clear that it will go ahead and a decision will be made later this year.” In Coldstream, exp ansion of Coldstream Meadows is moving ahead, while Tolko Industries has plans for a pellet plant in Lavington. Long-anticipated commercial development on Highway 6 and Aberdeen Road could
also be proceeding. There are about 300 properties for residential development in Coldstream, but that could only last for about 10 years. “We’re almost at the limit of what Coldstream can build to,” said Mike Reiley, the municipality’s director of development, referring to much of the land base being on steep hills or in the Agricultural Land Reserve. Denser development may eventually have to be considered so growth can continue. “We want to retain our rural character. Even if you live in a subdivision, you love
to look over the green fields,” said Garlick. All three jurisdictions are partnered to identify future land for industrial development to encourage employment opportunities. “We have to work collaboratively,” said Sawatzky. Parts of Coldstream could eventually include industrial activities. “We’re being supportive of heavy industry and with lightindustry, we’re looking at how to open those lands up,” said Garlick. A similar view is also coming from Fairbairn. “It’s important that we collectively get involved to make this a great community,” he said of the jurisdictions working together.

Those lazy days of summer
F
or those of you out there who have kids, summer may have started a little early due to the teachers’ strike. I use the word may, but the chances of school starting again before June 26 look as promising as a hail storm in June... Wait a second, make that a maelstrom in Kal Lake, well you get the idea. With the likelihood the government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation cannot come to an agreement this week, we are all prematurely scrambling for ways to care for and/or entertain our kids. As my husband has been working graveyards, and I am here at the office during the day writing such articles as this titillating column, I’m sad to say my Kristin Froneman son and daughter have been left to their own devices a little. And I’m realizing that to make them independent human beings that’s OK. Except the problem is that their idea of being independent is plunking themselves in front of the TV, and/or computer, for more than the standard one hour a day, so that my husband can get a few hours of semi-sleep.... until our son bursts his REM bubble to tell him how many points he has scored on Animal Jam. It is not the ideal babysitter, but the kids are actually getting care (don’t send child services on us just yet) thanks to their grandmother, and once the Melatonin wears off, they get fresh air, with a bike ride to the park or to kick the soccer ball around with their dad until I take over the evening/night shift. Both my kids are entered in the Kids of Steel triathlon at Kin Beach Saturday morning, so it’s important to keep them limber. All this impromptu summer planning has me thinking of what kind of activities myself, a product of the ‘70s and ‘80s, got up to when the days became longer and school finally closed its doors for summer. Mostly, our parents kicked us out of the house in the morning and said, “don’t come back til the sun sets!” But
At rAndoM
there were also lots of activities: mainly camping, swimming, paddling, and that bastion of fun that combines all three, summer camp. It was rather exhausting actually. In fact, when I turned 14, my first summer job was as a counsellor for a YMCA day camp in a Toronto park. That job lasted practically the whole summer, until myself and another counsellor came up with what we thought was a brilliant idea. As I lived close to the park, we decided to take the kids on a “field trip.” We marched to my place a few blocks away and gave the kids lemonade and let them watch a cartoon on the TV, then we marched right back to the park before anyone even missed us. We were fired two days before camp ended once our supervisors found out about it. What’s funny is that some parents actually commended us for doing something different with their kids. But with the rules being that no children were to be taken out of the park, we lost our jobs. Yep, different times indeed. We would probably be arrested now. What’s even more ironic is that after making such a grave mistake, I was actually hired by the same organization the following year for my next summer job... as a lifeguard! I spent the whole year getting my Bronze Cross and then my NLS (National Lifeguard Service) certification as well as courses in first aid and CPR, so at least I learned something about safety. That summer job led into many years of siting on my backside keeping swimmers safe (yes, I did get off said backside to conduct a few rescues and to yell at people goofing off) and I also received my instructor’s certification and became a swimming teacher. It’s amazing what a lazy summer can lead into. So before you drive your kids into every, single activity for their early introduction into summer, maybe let them sit back and rest for a while. They’ve had a long, hard year, after all. And to you parents, especially to those teachers who are parents with kids in public school, I know you’d love it if summer holidays end in September like they’re supposed to. You need a break as well.
Bears are just doing what comes naturally when they wander out of the woods and into a residential neighbourhood. The entire region is their native habitat and they don’t worry about town limits signs. So when they are in a yard and come across garbage cans, they are also going to do what comes naturally — chow down. Bears are always hungry, especially in the spring as they come out of hibernation, and in the fall when they are building up fat levels for hibernation. It doesn’t take long for a bear to realize that garbage is an easy source of food. And it is that addiction that brings bears into potential conflict with the human residents of those neighbourhoods. Ultimately, it is the bear who loses because they are destroyed. But given that bears act purely on instinct, the only solution is for North Okanagan residents to change their habits. Keep your garbage can in a secure location, and while you are at it, pull down the bird feeders because the birds don’t need the food in the summer and the seed draws bears. Clean up fruit as it begins to ripen and monitor your compost. It’s been suggested several times that bears creating a possible conflict be trapped and relocated to the woods. However, biologists will tell you that once the animal is addicted to garbage, they will walk for several kilometres to the nearest neighbourhood so they can indulge. Eating garbage is ultimately a death sentence for bears. With bear complaints rising in Coldstream, now is the time for residents to become more aware of their natural surroundings and how to live with their four-legged neighbours.

cyclists' attitudes I am lucky enough to both drive and ride a scooter. On a recent Monday morning, I was riding up to the hospital by scooter for an appointment. On my way up Mission Hill, I was both witness to, and recipient of, some incredibly rude treatment. A cyclist approached me from behind on the sidewalk and said twice, "out of the way." I admit that my hearing is somewhat compromised, particularly in situations of background noise like heavy traffic. Nonetheless, I feel that this behavior was completely uncalled for. So far as I know, cyclists are not allowed on sidewalks to begin with. Not all cyclists will behave this way, and these words are not meant for them. To those they are meant for, the attitudes displayed in some situations have run against my grain for years. You may feel proud that you ride one of the simplest and best

Students stand up for free speech
am outraged and disgusted to hear that school principals both throughout the province, and in at least one local school, threatened students who left class to protest, with being suspended. I am also hearing stories of administrators barring school doors so students could not leave to protest. I thought all citizens of this country had the right to freedom of speech, not just a select few. My son was one of the students who chose to protest that his education is being effected by this labour dispute. I support him, and indeed am proud of him. While I have taught him to obey the law, I also have taught him that he has the right to his opinion, and he has the right, and indeed should protest injustices when he sees them. Growing up, my mother had the words of Edmond Burke posted on her wall. He said, "All that is necessary for the forces of evil to rule the world, is for enough good men to do nothing." I have taught my son this. He, and many other students throughout the province took a stand as is their right. It was a peaceful process, that really affected no one but themselves, and they should not face suspensions, nor any other form of discipline for doing so. Teachers may walk off the job, and administrators may lock out teachers, all of which affects the students, but when students do what they see adults doing, they face discipline. Do I see a double standard here? Many people will say that students used this protest to

get out of school. Indeed, some did. I would hazard to guess that not every teacher was on the picket lines during their job actions, and on any given day, I would bet that not every administrator is at their desk diligently working. Look at the government that these administrators work for. On any given day, we are lucky if half of our MLAs are in the Legislature. This is all MLAs, regardless of party. The youth of today are criticized for being rude, and disrespectful. I for one am proud that these students expressed their concerns in a noticeable manner. They are showing that
machines yet invented, and you are also doubtless aware that you have the same rights and privileges as motorists on the road. Yes, that is the law, and although I may not agree with all of it, I am prepared to respect it. However, just because it is the law and your right cyclists, please don't flaunt it. Doing so proves nothing, and accomplishes nothing aside of some possible personal satisfaction. To the man responsible for the incident that morning, you know who you are, so here's hoping you read this. cam clayton seat belts When I first read the letter titled “Cash grab,” I was totally amazed. Many colourful descriptions were bantered about. I wanted to jump up and rock, roll and rant. Then I said to myself, “Self, why not respond intelligently, so that others with the same mind set as "Cash Grab" might see the light.”

So here goes. The RCMP does not meddle. They enforce the law, one of which compels the use of seat belts. Insurance companies do care about those not wearing seat belts. Mainly because in the vast majority of motor vehicle accidents involving the lack of seat belt use, the additional medical costs they must shell out in relation to head, neck, nose, teeth, eye, back, etc. and blunt object injuries, would seriously impede their ability to offer low cost insurance to those of us who do wear seat belts. Yes, you have the ability, not the right, to ignore this particular law. It is your choice. You may wish to consult with families, friends and employers dealing with the results of other drivers who have made the same choice. Those same other drivers now relying on their insurance providers to help them mend. If you feel like you don’t want to pay, well, I don’t either.
they know they have the freedom of speech, and will stand up and say no to injustice, rather than blindly being sheep. The politicians should remember that in a few short years, these same students will be voting. Let us not forget that in my generation, students stood up, and indeed a few died, to stop an unjust war, with the result that a president of the U.S. was ultimately brought down. It started with a few students standing up and saying this is not right. One father of a student who protested with my son said that he had put his life on the line for a year in Afghanistan, so the people of that country could have the right to speak out about the injustices, and could go to school without fear of retribution. He now comes home and his own child is facing retribution in his own country. Whether you support the teachers or the government is irrelevant in this case. Our students are the ones being affected and they chose to protest. As one student put it on TV, colleges and universities are not going to care that there was a strike on, when looking at students' marks. They should not face retribution for doing what they see adults doing. Canada is still a free country where all citizens, regardless of age, have the right to speak out. bob cail
Wear now or pay later? John Raikes sign me up I woke up one morning to the news the government was offering teachers a signing bonus. Will it ever stop. Here's my recollection of signing bonuses. Back a few years ago, the MLAs wanted to give themselves a raise. A general hue and outcry from everyone, especially the unions, prevailed and the thought was shelved. Next year, the government unions, teachers included, all got a signing bonus. The following year, the MLAs voted themselves a raise and, nothing, absolutely nothing, was voiced by the unions. Is a signing bonus a bribe? So I take it the MLAs will be getting a raise next year. It's a slap in the face to taxpayers. I am turning 65 in a couple of days, officially a senior. I would like a signing bonus. James Robert todd

The number of employees earning top dollar has grown at the Regional District of North Okanagan. There were 34 employees who were paid more than $75,000 in 2013. That has climbed by seven since 2012. “Certain jobs require a certain skill level and they have to be compensated accordingly,” said Rick Fairbairn, board vice-chairperson. Fairbairn believes RDNO’s compensation package is low compared to other jurisdictions, and he points to the recent search for a new chief administrative officer. “Some applicants felt

our pay level was not at the level they were at,” he said. Leading the list in 2013, was former CAO Trafford Hall at $186,479 in salary and expenses. Others on the list include Leah Mellot, electoral area general manager, with $162,518 in remuneration and expenses, chief financial officer David Sewell with $141,202 in remuneration and expenses and Dale McTaggart, engineering general
manager, at $136,583 in salary and expenses. Total payroll for RDNO was $6.2 million in 2013, and that’s partly because the district assumed responsibility for staff at the Duteau Creek water treatment facility. The 2013 annual report also provides details on remuneration for elected officials, and $304,848 was paid out to directors, alternate directors and committee members. Leading the pack

was rural Enderby director Jackie Pearase with remuneration of $24,604 and expenses of $7,947. “My round trip to the regional district is 135 kilometres and it adds up after awhile,” she said. Of the $7,947, about $5,000 was for mileage, including travel to Kamloops for Fraser Basin Council meetings. “When I go to Kamloops it takes two hours there and two hours back. There’s good information and feedback at the meetings and the Shuswap watershed is important (for constituents).” Following Pearase was Fairbairn, rural Lumby director and board vice-chairperson, with a salary of $25,094 and expenses of $5,905. “There’s a lot of driving involved,” he said, adding that his duties have increased since chairperson Patrick Nicol died earlier this year. “Since I assumed the duties of the chair, there’s demand on my time to be at the office every day.” Nicol had remuneration of $27,612 and expenses of $2,363. Fairbairn admits there has to be a balancing act between conserving tax dollars and ensuring the public’s interests are met. He also says that compensation has to be fair to ensure people will seek elected office despite the impact on careers and family life. “There’s been a big problem to attract younger people to the board.” The full annual report can be found at http://www.rdno.ca/ agendas/140618_AGN_ BoD_FULL.pdf.

Todd York and Andrew Casson did not submit any travel and conference expenditures in 2013. The figures are part of the council remuneration and expense report and employee remuneration and expenses which will be included in the township’s annual report for 2013. Brown made the most on council with her remuneration of
$19,229.39 plus her expenses equaling just under $25,000. Casson, Van Tienhoven, York and Fraser all earned $9,535.87 as councillors, while Ganson and Hanoski made $9,421.47. The discrepancy among the councillors, according to chief finanical officer Brian FreemanMarsh, was that Ganson and Hanoski’s Canada Pension Plans payments made by the township were smaller than the other four. Four township employees, according to the report, are paid more than $75,000. Topping the list is public works manager Ed Forslund ($98,135.49), followed by Freeman-Marsh ($82,936.15), fire inspector and deputy fire chief Alastair Crick ($78,570.69) and public works foreman Dwayne Sintich ($77,915.74). In 2013, the township paid out $1.1 million in remuneration to elected officials and employees, and just more than $28,000 in expenses.
Spallumcheen council stayed true to their word when it came to watching their expenses. After dropping the amount of money available for travel and conference expenditures in the last budget from $30,000 to $25,000, council was reimbursed $17,676.81 in 2013 for receipts submitted for such trips.

They played it out really well. It was a good story.”

Fishing rods in Wood Lake have been put away with the closure of a six-week opening for kokanee.
A six-week kokanee fishing season on Wood Lake, considered Canada’s premier kokanee fishery, saw the number of fish harvested this year decrease significantly from 2013 levels. It was the first of at least three straight years kokanee fishing in Wood Lake will be limited to April 15 to May 31 as fisheries biologists work to try and revive a fishery that began seeing a drastic downturn in the number of kokanee spawners in 2011. This year’s shorter opening was designed to give anglers a chance to fish for kokanee while at the same time collecting data from angler surveys. The 2014 Wood Lake Creel Survey indicated the catch rate and the size of fish being caught this year was down from 2013 with the average fish caught measuring 13.7 inches (34.9 cm) and weighing 1.14 pounds. The total number of fish caught was down significantly when compared to the same time the previous year. “Based on our model for estimating overall angler effort and harvest, the total angling effort during the 2014 kokanee season increased, but the estimated number of fish harvested decreased significantly in 2014,” said Eric Hegerat, a B.C. government fisheries biologist. Hegerat
could extend the period of low abundance for more generations.” White added that a shorter opening should benefit the Wood Lake fishery adding there were good levels of fish under a year old caught last year, pointing to a possible recovery of the fishery by 2015. However she said the shorter opening will allow for younger fish to survive for future years of the fishery. “A standardized spring opening is set

for the next two years so some fishing opportunity is available and important data can be collected,” she said, adding its an important lake for the area’s economy and sport-fishing opportunities. “Wood Lake (historically) garners in excess of 10,000 angler days of fishing each summer—about $1 million to the local economy each year.” The next opening for Wood Lake fishing is April 15 to May 31, 2015.

says in 2013 there were an estimated 1,470 fish harvested while 2014’s total harvest is estimated at 860 fish. The crash of the Wood Lake fishery began in 2011 when the number of kokanee returning to spawn was just 6,300, well below the average of about 14,000 fish. The next year was worse with only 2,300 kokanee returning in 2012, the worst result dating back to 1994. In 2013 the numbers were steady with about 2,800 kokanee returning while fish returns were predicted to be low as well this year, prompting the government to limit the fishery to six weeks. “In 2011 poor in-lake conditions led to significantly increased mortality rates for kokanee of all ages,” said Tara White, senior fisheries biologist. “Angler harvest does not appear to be the cause of the downturn, yet with spawner escapement so low, excessive mortality due to angler harvest

Aidan Dacyk (from top) gives the thumbs up to let pilot John Swallow know he’s good to go for a flight in Swallow’s Vans RV9A airplane Sunday at the Vernon Airport during the Vernon Flying Club’s COPA For Kids program. Participants aged eight to 17 got a free flight from the flying club’s pilots, who volunteered their time for the popular event. Pilot Barry Meek (left) explains the inner workings of his plane to Dacyk and Dimitri Anderson, while Olivia Winger stops for a photo-op for her parents before her flight with Swallow.

A number of specific outcomes are expected from the NCP, including significant progress on terrestrial and marine conservation, the improvement or restoration of additional land, wetlands and shoreline, increased opportunities for Canadians to experience nature, and access to improved information to support conservation efforts.

Little delivers on home greens TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
Jackie Little felt nice and comfortable walking down the 18th fairway to a glowing crowd. It also helped that it was the course she thrived on. “It’s a lot easier walking down the 18th with a nice cushion,” said Little. The 4-foot-10 Little captured the B.C. Senior Women’s Golf title with a two-putt on 18 at the Vernon Golf and Country Club Thursday afternoon, where she was once a fixture as a member. “It feels really good to be back home and on your home course,” said Little. “The problem is that sometimes the memories from your home course aren’t quite as good on some of the holes.” Her final round 78 on the 5,919-yard par-74 course was more than enough as she won by six strokes over Holly Horwood of Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club in Vancouver. She shot a 73 on Thursday and a 78 on Wednesday. Little, a righty, managed to steer clear of adversity during the back nine. She bogeyed the 13th, 14th and 15th. “I couldn’t seem to get off the bogey train for a little bit,” said Little. Little was able to right the ship with a birdie on the 16th and on No. 8. “The course was tough today. The greens are subtle here; you need to be on top of them,” said Little. Six years ago, Little picked up her first win on the senior circuit with a win at Spallumcheen. “That was also a special win for me. It was my first time returning to Vernon as a senior. To win is always special, but on your home course, it is extra special.” She moved to Port Alberni 10 years ago with her husband after they bought a little nine-hole executive golf course on the island. The keys to Little’s success were consistent driv-
ing and staying out of the beach all week long. Horwood picked up the Super Senior (60+) title. “It feels really nice. It was one of my goals to win a Super Senior tournament this year and I am glad I was able to accomplish it,” said Horwood. Horwood started the tournament off hot with a 75 on Wednesday followed by a 78 on Thursday. “The conditions were tough today. My front nine was good but the back nine was difficult for me all week,” said Horwood, who shot 82 in the final round. “My driving was good, but my wedges and putting were tough. The greens played real fast today.” There was a field of 61. “I was just pleased that they honour the over 60s with a tournament. It is hard to compete with the up and comers,” added Horwood. Defending champion Lynda Palahniuk of Kelowna slipped down the ranks to finish tied for fifth. She shot 79 and a 84 to close out the tourney. Vernon’s Maureen Turner of Predator Ridge and Brenda Samis of VGCC tied for 26th. Turner shot a 89-89-83, while Samis carded 86-85-90. The Zone Six Team consisting of Little and Karen Kloske won in the zone team competition. Each zone selected two-person teams to represent the region. Scoring is based on players combined twoday scores. Little and Kloske shot a combined +18 over the two days of competition breaking out of Tuesday’s tie with Zone 4. Horwood and Phyllis Laschuk of Zone 4 finished four shots behind the leaders with a 22-over-par 318 that was highlighted on the second day of play by three birdies and an eagle. Rounding out the top-three in was the Zone 5 Team of Penny Baziuk and Alison Murdoch, who improved on their first round score by five strokes to finish one shot behind Zone 4 with a +23.

Jensen jumpstarts Tigers comeback The Vernon Source for Sports Tigers mounted a huge third period comeback and became the first team to knock off the Kamloops Venom. The Tigers mauled the Venom 10-7 in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League action Wednesday night before more than 250 patrons at Kal Tire Place. “That was a huge win for us. Everyone is so pumped, we needed that,” said Tigers’ sniper Braden Barr. Bayne Bosquet and Darrell Landels took over on the penalty kill midway through the third. Bosquet stole the ball, fighting off several Venom attackers before finding Landels

in alone for the winner at 12:55. The Tigers (10-2) outscored the Venom 6-1 in the final frame. Mack Leroux set the tone in the third when he wallpapered Venom runner Kyle McLellan one minute in. “Poise. It is something these guys have developed over my four years here. They never panicked,” said Tigers’ coach Myles Brumpton. Mitchell Anderson and Connor Buick each earned 2+1 for the Tigers, while Quintin Harrish sniped a pair, including one shorthanded. Darrell Landels and Barr each added 1+3 and Ryan Sarazin and Bosquet, into an empty net in the final minute, also scored. “These things happen. To go undefeated through a season
is tough. It has been close between Kamloops and Vernon all year,” said Venom head coach Gord Hardman. The Venom (12-1) were without their leading scorer and captain Brady Jorgensen for most of the third period. A Tigers’ defender accidentally fell onto the back of Jorgensen’s right leg. Jorgensen hobbled off to the bench and went straight to the dressing room for 10 minutes. “Not sure what the injury is right now, but he was unable to finish the game for us,” said Hardman. Jorgensen still managed a hat trick to add to his staggering 53 goals. Riley Peterson with 1+2, Jerome Thorne, Quinn Williamson-Solecki and McLellan also scored for Kamloops.

Sports C’s split twinbill Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Kal Tire Canadians split a Pee Wee AA baseball doubleheader with the Kamloops River Dogs, winning 7-0 after losing 4-2. Chase Batchelor, Koll Cherkowski and Carter Morris shared pitching duties in the opener with Batchelor going 5 ½ innings. He struck out six and allowed two runs. Cherkowski drove in Nakoda Parker in the fifth inning with a sacrifice fly for Vernon’s first run. Catcher Eric Foufoulas threw out a runner at third base in the same inning. Morris, playing shortstop, turned a sweet double play by tagging a runner at second and then throwing to Ryan Gamage at first. Vernon came alive in Game 2 as Morris hurled 5 ½ innings with 10 strikeouts and no runs against. Foufoulas was a wall behind the plate. Brayden Beacom doubled to center field, scoring Foufoulas in the second inning when Morris mowed down the side. Morris hit a sacrifice grounder bringing home Ryan Gamage in the third, while Beacom nailed an RBI-double to left field and walked home on a balk in the next inning. In the sixth, Beacom singled in Foufoulas and stole home, while Matthew Hansen scored on an error. Morris caught a pop fly off the mound before Beacom took over pitching duties and fanned two. Morris stole home, Foufoulas stroked a run-scoring single before swiping home and Gamage drove in Beacom in the seventh.

Shamrocks sputter against Raiders and he is playing huge for us right now; it’s awesome,” said Barr. Jensen recorded 39 saves, but the statement of the night came with seconds remaining when Kamloops lobbed a rink-long shot at Jensen, who dropped kicked the ball as if he was down in Brazil. The Tigers host the Kelowna Raiders (2-9) Saturday night at Kal Tire Place. The Raiders stuffed the Armstrong Shamrocks 9-8 Wednesday night at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. “We started lifeless and flat in the
first. There was an overall lack of energy throughout the entire game,” said Shamrocks’ assistant coach Jeff Hanley. Marlon Forrest, Austin Pugh and Joel Castle each sniped a pair for the Shamrocks (4-8), with singles coming from Hamish Crick and Sam Hanley. Nick Alcorn and Kristian Stead sniped a pair of goals and the Raiders (2-11) received singles from Cam McMillan, River Lafferty, Josh Dubrett, Riley Stewart and Trevor Reed. The Shamrocks battle the Venom Sunday night in Kamloops.
Timber take down MFC Morning Star Staff
North Enderby Timber shut down Monashee Surveying 3-0 in North Okanagan Soccer League action Wednesday night at MacDonald Park. NET dominated the match with multiple scoring chances early and often, but MFC (3-6-1) dug in and kept them in check. The Timber (6-3) finally opened the scoring late in the first when beer cooler man Greg Poggemoeller worked some nice one-two passing with Alex Farina, who was welcomed back off the injured reserve. Poggemoeller pounced on the Farina rebound. NET, with an infusion of new young and talented players, kept creating chances. Chris Ovens, just back from some family time in Germany, streaked up the middle and dished the ball to Brent Poulsen through two defenders. Poulsen took one touch and beat keeper James Inglis low off the post from 20 yards. The Timber third goal came when newcomer

Lendrit Ademi beat a defender down the wing and placed an excellent cross into Patrick Schindler, who one-timed the ball short side past the outstretched Inglis. Fellow newcomer Victor Gouchee earned the shutout. MFC Burger King Man of the Match Inglis stopped Poulsen on a full-on breakaway for his best of numerous huge saves. In other action, Turn-Key Controls brushed back Peters Tirecraft 3-1 at Marshall Field #2. Newbie striker Sean Jenkins gave Tirecraft the first-half lead before Turn-Key responded with all their goals in the final 25 minutes. Preston Tucker converted a controversial penalty kick for the winner. Turn-Key improved to 6-1-1, while Tirecraft dipped to 1-8. No scores were reported from Courvas-Salmon Arm Outlaws or Revelstoke Stallions-Nation of Domination Eagle Homes. Courvas went into Wednesday leading the league at 6-1.

Legends place fourth Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan A2 Bercum Builders Legends lost 2-1 in overtime to the Rockyview Rage of Calgary in the bronze medal game at the Rock the House Pee Wee lacrosse tournament at Kal Tire Place. Scoreless after one, Rockyview broke the ice in the second, which was quickly tied by Legends’ captain Braeden McAmmond. After a scoreless third, they headed into sudden death overtime where Rockyview sniped one off a faceoff. The top-ranked Surrey Rebels downed the Legends 4-3 in the final round-robin game. McAmmond opened the scoring for the Legends before the Rebels scored four unanswered goals. The Legends made it close with goals from Liam Cyr and Ethan Harshenin. Owen McKill, Tanner Witt and McAmmond picked up helpers. The Legends downed the New Westminster Salmonbellies 7-2 in the second game of the tourney. The Legends received great perfor-
mances from McAmmond with 2+2, McKill added 1+1, Brayden Norlin sniping his first of the season and Harshenin with a single. The Legends tied the North Delta Whalers 4-4 in the opening match. Lucas Zubrod, Jacob Defeo, Witt and McAmmond all sniped singles for the Legends, with assists going to Quin Williamson and Levi VanderDeen. Legends’ net detective Rhys DeFehr was solid all weekend and was named MVP. Other MVP’s for the tourney were McAmmond, Harshenin and Cyr.
Legends exit with a bang
The R Xtra Storage Novice 2 Legends wrapped up their season in style as they belted Nicola Valley 16-2 in Merritt. Devin Jameson’s sniped five goals and William Puetter pulled the hat trick. Griffin Morrier and Nate Benn scored a pair each, while Seth Burton, Bradley Scarbar and Jesse Godwin added singles.

The Subway Reds upset first place Navy 2-0 in a fast and physical U14/15 boys Vernon Cup match Saturday afternoon at Marshall Field. Laughlin Byrnes made several key saves for the Reds to keep the opening half scoreless. In the second half, David Park received a pass from Riley Bos and buried the winner. Hard work by Lucas Riedstra and Wilson Stewart created several chances for the Reds. Langton Kersey worked the ball to Riley Bos, who converted for insurance. Gavin Huggins and Liam Hennig had many quality chances on net. The Oranges Dudes escaped with a 1-0 victory over the White Knights in other14/15 boys firstround Cup play Saturday at Marshall Field. The Knights showed a lot of passion in the first half and opened the game with a flurry of shots. The Orange Dudes, missing a few key players, relied on a stellar makeshift back line anchored by Shane Pelkey and Leon Schenker. While the Knights had the bulk of the possession, the Dudes lurked for the counter attack and came close to scoring after a clever give-and-go between multi-talented Joe Eggert and workhorse Garreth Birch. The second half saw a more even game but chances were sparse on both sides. The deadlock was finally broken when Cole Martin sent a through ball to Carter Bosquets who – despite coming off a sleepless night – managed to find the top corner past keeper Nick Mitchell. The Knights took more risks – playing one-on-one in the back line- but as time passed by, fatigue settled in allowing the Dudes to hold on to the lead and celebrate at the final whistle. Tyler Jackson had a stand out game for Orange covering the whole left flank while Steven Benischek showed a lot of heart breaking up numerous plays while covering multiple positions in his surfer shorts. Central defender Gavin Donald took the Rossignol Skis Man of the Match for the Knights. Honourable mention went to speedy winger Kyle Karens. The Subway Greens grounded Caufield Engraving 4-1 in U18 girls Vernon Cup play. Determined play and hustle led to Amy Parsons’
goal to the top left corner. Sierra Benner ran the wing all game and took a beautiful pass from Danielle Butler to smoke it by the Caufield keeper for the second snipe. Parsons supplied the third goal after another cross from Benner. Parsons again pushed hard and was fouled inside the 18. Butler drilled the final goal low. Great defensive play was turned in by Michelle Ockert who kept her buddy, Dayna Whibley, scoreless, Halle August, Faren Gosselin, Ella Kerr and back line anchor Desiree Gosselin. Cailin Correia, Alicia Hill-Turner and Marissa Aldrich had marvellous games in the middle. Props went to faithful keeper Darian Newman. The Gold Armadillos shut down the Red Vultures 6-0 in Royal LePage Under 12 boys soccer action. Midfielder Aiden Buckley jumpstarted the Dillos with two strikes, both assisted by forward Zach Manthorne. Midfielder Tage Kineshanko, with a deuce, and fullbacks Cole MacKay and Rory Campbell completed the Armadillo attack. Assists were recorded by forward Griffin Fletcher, Campbell, Kineshanko and Buckley. Jared Ross earned the clean sheet. Said Red Vulture coach Ian Gibson Jr.: “They lost with class and exhibited sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct beyond their years in what could have become a runaway game and are winners in my book any day.� The Blizzards bounced the Royal LePage Navy 5-0 in U12 girls action, getting goals from Jennika Helmle, Kelsey Watts, Joelle Smid, Grace Dae An and Lauren Rollier Midfielders Rollier, Taija Kronbauer and Dae An were a power line as they kept pushing forward and opening the middle up with long power passes. Lottie Scott sniped through her checks with her speed as she carried the ball up the right wing, while Smid used her skills and ability to supply power passes to the forwards. Charging strikers Helmle and Adelaide Andow showed energetic ability to cause havoc on the opposing keeper. Watts, Renee Fairgrieve, Rachel Richter and Lisa DeBeer created an unbeatable wall at the back, while Katelyn Holm fought off several attackers.

The glorious gift of aging
I
t seems that as we age, the landscape of our lives changes a lot. By landscape, I am talking about everything to do with aging. As boomers, we are starting a new journey. In a two-week period, I heard about a friend’s spouse being diagnosed with cancer, another friend became engaged, yet another had been in a car accident, while someone else celebrated the birth of a great-grandchild. There are times in our lives when events
are viewed as being predictable. Like a younger friend whose son just landed his first job after being in school for nearly two years in his chosen specialty. He is at the beginning of his life work and we, as boomers, are near the end of our life’s work (but the fun is just beginning so keep your sense of humour close at hand). The thing that I have noticed more than anything about being a boomer is what is universally referred to as
“the wisdom.” gift of all. I am not talking As an example, the about intellect, but superfluous nonsense rather, havthat is proing lived mulgated daily longer which under the guise has lead to of entertaina deeper ment is really understandmind boggling. ing of what It is demeanis truly ing as its focus important in is on vacuous life from my nonsense that Carole Fawcett can eat away at humble perspective. the self worth We dispense with the of those who watch and unimportant fluff and then sadly believe it. become one with our This drivel called own reality finally.

authenticity to show itself and no longer worry about what others think and besides, I usually laugh at my own foibles because life is too short to take too seriously. I mean, just the other day I had to cough and as I did, well, the other end “coughed” too. Oh my goodness me. I had a hard time keeping a straight face because I was standing in front of a handsome young man at the time and I prayed that the top end cough was loud enough to cover up the bottom end “cough.” LOL. I blush as I type this because that is definitely not the authenticity I want to show to the world. Then there’s the letting go of other trappings, such as how we look. We want to look
reasonably neat and tidy and as attractive to our own standards as we can, but we no longer obsess about it and isn’t that a big relief? There is no weeping and being depressed because we have gained a few pounds and can no longer get into our bikini. Our egos have shrunk and we know there is more to life than how we look, with good health being the important thing. There is more depth to our soul. So boomers, give yourself the gift of being genuine. Meet yourself with confidence. Enjoy the gift of aging, perhaps without the sound effects.

Gatzke hosts B.C.’s best in 4-H Morning Star Staff

Is it not freeing to absolutely be who you really are and say what you really think, providing of course you are not hurtful with your words? An odd statement perhaps because you might think that we are all beings and that is all there is when it comes to being an individual. But I no longer worry about what people think of me and that in itself is a gift. As Popeye once said, “I y’am who I y’am.” But the younger me, and likely you too, lived my life in a way that I hoped nobody would disapprove. I was fearful to let the real me out due to societal judgment and the “should” brigade. I gave my permission to be a doormat to anyone who wanted to treat me with disrespect. Now I allow my

A demonstration is showing how to perform a task or skill using precise instructions for each step of the task or skill. “ The provincial communication finals at Gatzke Orchards and Farm Market begin June 29 at 9 a.m. The public is encouraged to show their support and watch the competition. There is no admission fee. “Public speaking and presenting is a key life skill that many people lack and it is a corner stone of the 4-H experience, resulting in adults that are more comfortable in front of audiences, business lectures, speaking in church or where ever they might have the opportunity to express their views,” said Dunbar.

THE TERRY FOX RUN for CANCER RESEARCH
Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder STOP, THINK, DEFEND -DEFEAT THE CONTRACT Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of India, said, “A leader or a man of action in a crisis almost always acts subconsciously and then thinks of the reasons for his action.” Some bridge experts are like that, playing almost by instinct. Others grind it out, calculating the correct actions. The less capable tend to react almost subconsciously, making the “natural” play without time for analysis. It would be a great idea for almost everyone to slow down. In this deal, for example, look at the North and East hands. Against four spades, West leads the club queen. How should East plan the defense?
West was aggressive in raising to two clubs, but he had a singleton and liked the favorable vulnerability. North’s three-club advance was a modern cue-bid raise. It guaranteed at least threecard spade support and a minimum of game-invitational values. South had sufficient high-card power to jump to game. The defenders need four tricks. East can anticipate two clubs and one spade, but where is the other winner? That singleton diamond should be smiling at East. But it is probably pointless discouraging clubs at trick one. West would surely shift to his heart 10. Instead, East should take control. He should overtake the club queen with his king and switch to his
singleton. Then he can take the first or second round of trumps, lead a low club to put his partner back on play, and receive the lethal diamond ruff. It is an excellent idea to pause at trick one. Just tell declarer that you want to analyze the deal.

“Their confidence working with kids increased a lot over a few short months.” — Shannon Mazereeuw
program leader with PacificSport Okanagan, is looking forward to another summer helping teenagers learn how to lead groups of younger campers and develop valuable work skills. “We first ran the program in 2013, and had a great group of teens involved,” said Mazereeuw. “Their confidence working with kids increased a lot over a few short months. Now that they have the skills to lead a program, have first aid training and understand the foundations of being a good leader, we’re able to hire them as staff in our programs.” Youth Sport Leaders lead summer camps for kids six to 12 and are mentored by experienced recreation leaders. PacificSport also provides certification workshops for Youth Sport Leaders including NCCP: fundamental movement skills, standard first aid/CPR, lesson plans and contacts to further pursue careers in sports, recreation and coaching. Taisa Andrushko, who participated in 2013, said of the program: “At first it was surprisingly intimidating being stared at by
seven-year-olds, but as I realized there wasn’t much that could truly go wrong, I became more comfortable. I feel that the PacificSport staff gave us all a fair opportunity and encouraged us to lead games and teach skills.” Added Mazereeuw: “It is a fun opportunity to come to camp, inspire kids to be active and play, plus gain a practical experience and certifications to benefit future employment opportunities.” By developing future leaders, Mazereeuw hopes that it will increase the activity levels of youth growing up in Vernon. With 70 per cent of kids dropping out of sports by the time they are 13 years, according to Healthy Kids Report Card 2012, Youth Sport Leaders will have the opportunity to deliver new and non-traditional sports and activities to kids in an effort to instill healthy activity for life. Students in Grades 10 to 12 who are interested in participating in the volunteer program can visit www.pacificsportokanagan.com, e-mail smazereeuw@ pacificsport.com or call 250-550-3678.

Rotary garden tours blossom
Sail Setting
Morning Star Staff
Teresa Fennell phoTo
Sail boats dot Okanagan Lake, offshore from the Vernon Yacht Club and Okanagan Landing Road.
Gardeners can mark Saturday down as the day for the third annual Armstrong Rotary Club tour. The event is as an opportunity for people to view at least eight gardens situated in Armstrong and Spallumcheen. It follows up with an outdoor luncheon at 2875 Rosedale Ave. (Jamieson household). In addition to viewing the gardens, visitors on the tour will be able to talk to the gardeners who have created their show places, ask questions and come away with ideas for their own garden centres. Those with tickets gather at 9:30 a.m. at the museum parking lot beside the Brown Derby where they are given maps and a booklet outlining what they will see. Car pooling will be encouraged. You can also drop down earlier and visit the Armstrong Farmers’ Market on the IPE grounds. The tickets are $20 and available in advance at the Brown Derby. This includes the luncheon at the conclusion of the tour. Proceeds for this event will go toward maintenance and upkeep of the garden areas surrounding the museum and art gallery complex, a joint effort developed by the Armstrong-Spallumcheen Museum, Armstrong Rotary and Opus Garden Designs. You can get more information from Dawn Jamieson at 546-3730 or Mary-Eileen Johnson at 546-8628, co-organizers of this Rotary event.

Be careful
ave you ever watched a scene on television where someone throws a burning match into a pool of gasoline and it erupts into a tower of flame? Or maybe you have seen the classic car chase that ends with a car crashing and exploding into a ball of fire? For the most part this is all a stretch of reality to supply some Hollywood sensationalism, but it does give you a good indication of the volatility and explosiveness that flammable liquids and combustible liquids possess. It also indicates that they are obviously something that shouldn’t be played with or carelessly abused. In fact, they can be more dangerous than dynamite and surprisingly enough, exist in our homes and workplaces in the form of everyday products such as cleaners, waxes, solvents, adhesives and polishes. Lawrie Skolrood Therefore, it is extremely important that everyone understands how dangerous they can be and the safety precautions we need to take when using and storing them. The main problem seems to be a general lack of understanding as to how flammable and combustible liquids actually burn. In order to avoid being too technical, a simple explanation is that the mixture of their vapour and air is what burns and not the liquid itself. This is significant when it comes to a flammable liquid such as gasoline that will change into vapour at a very low temperature (-40 C) and when it is introduced into the open air at warmer temperatures, it quickly becomes a burnable mixture that is explosive in nature when ignited. The problem is further complicated by the fact that is also possible to ignite vapour at a large distance from its source and any person finding themselves in a vapour cloud when it contacts a spark or flame can get very badly burned. People trying to light their campfires or their barbecues after dosing them with gasoline or any other form of flammable liquid often find themselves getting burned by lighting the vapour when they lean in to light the wood or charcoal. Another significant characteristic of nearly all flammable and combustible liquids is their vapours are heavier than air and will travel close to the ground where they can easily come into contact with ignition sources such as water heaters, electric motors and furnaces. Consequentially, it is imperative that they are stored in the proper containers, away from any kind of ignition sources, properly ventilated and never in basements, metal Sea Can storage containers, pits or other confined areas. To put this into perspective and indicate how important this is, there is a test that I recently read about that involved 3.8 litres (one gallon) of gasoline being ignited in the trunk of a car. The result was an explosion that blasted the trunk lid along with a huge fireball almost 25 metres into the air with such a force that no one in the car would have survived. With that in mind, I shouldn’t need to remind you that listed safety containers are required by law for storing, handling and transporting of flammable or combustible liquids of any quantity. In fact the B.C. Fire Code dedicates two chapters to it. Unfortunately, it always seems that no matter how much we try to warn people about the possible danger and the precautions they need to take, it often takes some kind of significant event to shock us back from complacency into the reality of the consequences of things going wrong. In this case, the provocation for this article comes as a result of two recent incidents. One involved a badly burned young boy at a bush party and the other a close call with flam-

mable liquids damaging a home. Both were caused by a lack of understanding as to the dangers that comes with the improper use of flammable and combustible liquids. Hopefully this article can clear up some of the misunderstandings and help keep accidents of this type from happening again. Whenever you handle liquids in containers marked flammable or combustible, take the time to read the warning label and make sure you understand what it says. Be extra careful when handling and using flammable and combustible materials and store them safely in the proper manner. Be fire smart and keep yourself and your family safe from the dangers of flammable and combustible liquids. Lawrie Skolrood is deputy fire chief with the Vernon Fire Department.

Vernon artist hits a career PEAK Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

Vernon raised singer-songwriter Jodi Pederson has just found out she has been named as a top 12 artist for The PEAK Performance Project, designed to promote, educate and develop independent artists, with support from the B.C. music industry.
Vernon-raised musician Jodi Pederson won’t be forgetting her 26th birthday anytime soon. On June 11, she received one of the biggest boosts to her music career so far, when it was announced that out of 250 applicants, she was selected as one of 12 artists for this year’s PEAK Performance Project. The intense B.C. music competition, headed by Vancouver radio station 102.7 The PEAK, is designed to promote, educate and develop independent artists. “I felt a huge wave of pride as they announced... ‘and from Vernon, B.C... Jodi Pederson,’” said the artist, who soon after graduating from Kalamalka Secondary School was discovered by Toronto music producer Jack Lenz. She is now living, performing and recording her music in Vancouver. “Being chosen as one of the 12 artists, from 250 applicants, for The PEAK Performance Project has already had an impact on my career. The amount of support I have already received, and will continue to gain, is paving the pathway I’ve worked so hard for, for years,” she added. Pederson entered two new
songs –City Lights and Boys– into the project. “I chose these two songs in particular for the Peak Performance Project because they really capture the new sound I’ve been crafting over the years since my first album, Seasons (recorded and produced by Lenz Entertainment in Toronto.) “City Lights I wrote when I first moved to Vancouver. The lyrics came to me as I overlooked the city from my 13- story apartment, and fell in love – just a small town girl coming to a big city of arts, fashion, culture and new adventure,” she said. “Boys, well, I guess that one’s pretty self explanatory. This one was definitely inspired by some heartbreak. I always try to harness the emotions I’m feeling to at least get a good song out of a bad experience, something I’m sure we can relate to. And fellas, you go on ahead and sing ‘girls will be girls!’” Now in its seventh year, The PEAK Performance Program has changed the lives of 100 artists and created a vibrant music community in B.C. and has just expanded into Alberta. Administered by the Music B.C. Industry Association and Alberta Music Industry Association, Pederson will join
her fellow artists in an intensive, one-week bootcamp in the music business held at Rockridge Canyon in Princeton. “We will be challenged to complete business plans, create and record new songs, perform at showcases, and more,” said Pederson. Artists will benefit from mentorship with some of the music industry’s top professionals and performers. Each of the finalists will receive a base camp award of $5,000 to spend towards career development. In addition, all the artists will have the chance to perform live in Vancouver as part of The PEAK Performance Project concert series. The top three artists will also perform at the finale concert, where they will take home $102,700 for first place, $75,000 for second and $50,00 for third. “I am so thrilled and honoured to have been chosen, and cannot wait to work and play with all of the other incredibly talented artists. If I am so fortunate to make it to the final round, there is an online voting poll, and I would be so honoured to have my hometown of Vernon supporting me, and voting,” said Pederson. More info is available at peakperformanceproject.com.
Napoleon Dynamite-inspired video earns rapper MuchMusic award Vernon’s SonReal takes home the MuchFACT Video of the Year for Everywhere We Go Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Score one for SonReal. The Vernon raised hip hop artist (born Aaron Hoffman) won the MuchFACT Video of the Year award for his Napoleon Dynamite-inspired video for single Everywhere We Go. The W.L. Seaton grad also presented at the internationally renowned music award show, which took place at MuchMusic’s headquarters in Toronto Sunday. “I am just grateful to be here,” said
SonReal, in an e-mail to The Morning Star. “It’s my first MMVA, so it’s extra special. Last year we came here and had to fight to get interviews and press, and this year it’s a totally different story… My publicist has got me working overtime... lol.” Directed by Peter Haung and produced by Mad Ruk Ent., Everywhere We Go features SonReal as a nerdy character, similar to that of actor Jon Heder’s character in the cult classic film Napoleon Dynamite, hanging out pool-side, trying to stay cool. The video has been on regular rotation on MuchMusic since it was released last fall. It has also received more than one million views on YouTube, and according to The Georgia Strait, is the biggest independently released song to ever be produced by a Vancouver artist. The song and video was also the lead
in to SonReal’s latest free mixtape, One Long Day, released in January. The last couple of years have been huge for the 28-year-old rapper, who was also nominated for his second Juno award earlier this year for Everywhere We Go, as Rap Recording of the Year. He was nominated in the same category at the Junos last year for his album, The Closers, with Toronto’s Rich Kidd and was also nominated at the 2013 MuchMusic Video Awards for Hip Hop Video of the Year for the song, Hometown, which was partially filmed in Vernon and Coldstream. “We put 10 into writing great songs and creating visuals to accompany them, to be recognized for it at Canada’s biggest award show is humbling. Thanks to MuchMusic, MuchFACT and especially all the fans that support what we are doing,” he said.

Hiccup and Toothless ride again How to Train Your Dragon Two
F
ive years ago, the chief ’s son Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) was able to make peace amongst dragons and humans on the island of Berk. Now everyone has a pet dragon and riding them has become a part of the Berk culture. While Berk’s youth have fun taking part in dragon races, Hiccup and his dragon, Toothless, fly far out over the waters, charting unmapped territories. When these excursions lead them to a series of secret ice caves, Hiccup discovers hundreds of wild dragons, a mysterious dragon rider and an army amassing to capture all dragons, placing them under the control of an evil warlord. Hiccup and Toothless must do what they can to keep the peace, without bringing war. We say, “It’s entertaining, but with no practical advice, dragons remain unruly.”
Reel Reviews
Taylor and Howe
TAYLOR: This film is as cute, fun and exciting as the first, with just a bit of drama thrown in, so you can check if your kids are paying attention and are capable of emotion. I happened to see the film in a packed house with my wife, gratefully in 2D. (I’ll be damned if I’m giving you three bucks for what amounts to a hindrance.) It also happened to be Father’s Day, with a great number of doting dads in attendance. The wee ones in the audience, not at all curious about why all these adult Vikings are Scottish yet their children are not, simply ate

this tale up. By the time the drama came around, I heard quite a fair bit of crying. Fear not, by the end, the children were cheering, with good doses of deserved hearty laughter in between. I found the film to be perfectly acceptable on all levels and I especially enjoyed that it was a film about how nations can avoid war by simply taking out the solo warmonger and only then, as a last resort. I was entertained, mildly amused and found the film quite pretty to look at. It might be the best ani-

ALL FALL DOWN Allison Weiss got her happy ending — a handsome husband, adorable daughter, a job she loves, and the big house in the suburbs. But while waiting in the pediatrician’s office, she opens a magazine to a quiz about addiction and starts to wonder…Is a Percocet at the end of the day really different from a glass of wine? Is it such a bad thing to pop a Vicodin after a brutal Jump & Pump class…or if your husband ignores you? With a sparkling comedic touch and a cast of unforgettable characters, this remarkable story of a woman’s slide into addiction and struggle to find her way back up again is Jennifer Weiner’s most masterful work yet.

mated movie of the year. HOWE: I don’t think it was the best animated movie this year. The Lego Movie was pretty fantastic, but saying that, Dragon 2 was a great treat on Father’s Day with my little boy Fenin. It’s as good as the first one, if not a little better. The storyline is very good and could easily stand by itself, even if you haven’t seen the first one. It kept me entertained throughout and I thought the animation was top quality. We watched it in 3D, and again I don’t know if that is needed in all movies,

as they don’t seem to take full advantage of that feature. FENIN: I loved it. It was funny, but the sad part was when the big dragon –oops, I better not say– but the happy part was when I saw all the dragons. – Taylor gives How to Train Your Dragon 2 4 prosthetic tails out of 5. – Howe gives it 3.5 detachable utensils out of 5. – Fenin gives it 5 toothlesses out of 5.

Swedish sisters do Americana justice
S
First Aid Kit: Stay Gold
wedish sisters Klara and Johanna Soderberg capture the soul of Americana on their third album, Stay Gold. The siblings sing with that uncanny character that blood breeds: two voices that follow each other with throwaway precision and keening harmonies.
Street SoundS Dean Gordon-Smith
The Soderbergs have also bucked the producer/pop singer star system that Idol-type shows and companies thrive on. They write their songs, sing them, play on them and zero in on a timeless zone of
folk-rock with an intensity so natural it seems recognizable. Some of the best interpreters of national musical styles are from outside the region, giving them the distance to re-imagine the landscape. Stay Gold is dominated by the Soderbergs’ twinned voices, clear, strong and Appalachian in spirit, minus the twang. There’s also a slight
Youth
Adult
Maritime lilt that drives the music, along with the mountain rhythms (Heaven Knows). This gives their music a singular, timeless character. They sing of the road, distant vistas, waitresses, and seasons. The songs are dreamy, but not detached, and the lyrics and vocals are a vibrant presence that has an honest inspirational character. Producer Mike Mogis (Fleet Foxes) puts a string ensemble to First Aid Kit’s flowing music, heavy on violins, viola and cellos. From the first swooning note of My Silver Lining, it’s easy to be hooked; the songs cast a potent spell. The strings add a rich palette that adds resonance and power to the duo’s acoustic-based music. Their songs have a deep emotional pull and if they’re all similar in style (a baroque ‘70s folk/country vibe), the imagery that the harmonies and chords invoke present a thematic flow. Stay Gold is a record that anyone who has an interest in how folk and old-time country music can be presented in a committed, re-imagined form should check out. (On a candid note, I played it six times through, and didn’t want to comment, just listen).
Students celebrate solstice
UBC Okanagan creative studies students invite the public to celebrate the summer solstice Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in the relaxing outdoor setting of Woodhaven Eco Culture Centre. The event features performances by Salmon Arm-born and raised singer-songwriter, and guitarist Herald Nix and Kelowna’s own Karen Donaldson Shepherd. One of the most respected artists in the Canadian underground scene, Nix continues to inspire audiences with his rockabilly, bluesy tunes, with lasting lyrics that are profound and meaningful. An awardwinning Aboriginal songwriter, Donaldson Shepherd plays a number of instruments, including the gayageum - a traditional Korean stringed instrument. The Woodhaven Eco Culture Centre is located at 969 Raymer Rd. in, Kelowna. Tickets are $15 at the gate.

Grade 6 late French immersion students at école Harwood Elementary look forward to continuing their education in their second language in the fall: Isla Stiven (clockwise from top), Lanaya Bandy, Rebecca Haberstock, Alice Bond, Spencer Priebe, Alyus Bassi, Jacob Phillips, Lucas Burnham, Jaden Scott, Kayla Riggs and Greenley Schneider.
Students take on the French challenge Rita tedesco Special to The Morning Star
When I was a kid, I loved school. I loved my classes, loved my teachers and especially loved to learn. However, by the time I was in Grade 5, one thing was missing: a challenge. Each year I look at my students in late French immersion and think to myself, when I was 11 I would have loved being
here: learning a new language, immersing myself in a new setting and being surrounded by motivated peers who shared my passion for learning. Late French immersion is one of those life-changing, transformational learning experiences that the Vernon School District offers. Students become functionally bilingual in just two short years, doing
all of their subjects in French through interactive activities, song and hard work. Now in its 11th year, Late French immersion welcomes 30 Grade 6 students from around the district to école Harwood Elementary where students complete Grade 6 and 7 in French and then move on to Seaton secondary to pursue a bilingual dogwood.
It is not too late to register for the 2014/15 school year as there are still a few spots remaining. For more information, call Harwood school at 250-542-5385 and I will be happy to answer any questions. Joignez-nous aujourd’hui! Rita Tedesco is vice-principal and Grade 6 late French immersion teacher at École Harwood Elementary.

Let go and the world shines
our children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you yet they belong not to you. — The Prophet, Kahlil Gibran One must choose whether to live one’s life or tell it. — Jean Paul Sartre At a time when hair grows on my chin and wrinkles seem to metastasize, my daughter is blossoming into dr. April sanders the woman. It is one of the world’s most reliable phenomena, the new replacing the old, one generation reaching its nadir as the next one rises. The old guard gives way to the new ripe with their vigor, energy and dreams, ready to forge new beginnings and carve a place that will be uniquely their own. It could be a bittersweet experience, witnessing and breathing the contrast of age versus youth but I am finding, thanks to my daughter, it is nothing of the sort. Contrary to what I may have expected this is a magic time, one where a doorway has opened to reveal a world of new possibilities and great joy. Last fall, my daughter and I undertook a journey. For a month my adult child and I visited India together. Our destination was Kanchenjunga, the world’s third highest peak. With a group of 14 other souls we spent weeks hiking into its remote base camp to see Kanchenjunga soar up another two miles before us. For

SCHIN. The 21st letter of the Hebrew alphabet called schin represents a tooth, shape of a molar. It represents the serpent’s bite, Gen. 3:1. and the application to Christ, formed because of the ‘bite’ of the serpent in Eden and experienced the bite in submitting to crucifixion and death on the cross. Schin is rendered “teeth” and applied to Christ in the Christ-Bride of Songs. 4:2, and Song’s 6:6.
Saturday marks the first day of summer and the Davison family is inviting young and old alike to get out and enjoy a free orchard tour.
“It’s a great opportunity to bring the family and experience the farm first-hand,” said Tamra Davison, marketing director at Davison Orchards.

own mistakes and achieve her own successes without my interference. We needed a balance of power (the adult-adult kind, not the mother-daughter kind) and I needed to be respectful of her right to make her own choices. In other words, my job was to keep my mouth shut. And what did I learn from this exercise? More than I could possibly imagine! I witnessed my daughter through the eyes of others and they saw a capable young woman of great integrity, strength and empathy. I observed her make mistakes, accept them and adapt her behavior so they did not recur. I watched her accept hardship for just that, something transient to suffer, endure and then move on. I saw her overcome daily physical adversity and get up without complaint and do it again. Most important, I saw her enormous interpersonal skills, how she could instantly read a person, make others feel valued and included or reach out to someone who needed support. My daughter has people skills I will never possess and through her friendships she built me a safe bridge to others, paving the way for friendships of my own. Above all, I saw the light go on in the eyes of our companions simply in anticipation of her company and I felt a fist of pride that in some small way I might have helped her become the person she was. Far away in a small corner of the planet I learned that the definition of a successful parent is not to raise good children but to raise good adults and then to stand back and let them go. I discovered that it is in the process of letting go that the whole world shines.

two weeks in a country of 1.2 billion people our group was totally alone. The journey was hard. We walked 100 miles over absent trails at great height and altitude. We camped in the snow and freezing rain, wore the same clothes for two weeks, shared a small tent, fell in mud and freezing glacial streams, got sick, cold, fatigued and leech-infested but more importantly my daughter and I laughed. We shared the majestic sunrise of the Himalayan peaks bathed in the purple, pink and gold of dawn. We high-fived each other on mountain summits that had seemed impossible to reach only hours before. From within our group, strangers became friends. We met individuals whose practice it has been to face adversity and shoulder on. Many shared their stories of disease and tragedy and their resilience in the face of hardship left us in awe. What I had not fully anticipated was the importance of the journey within the journey, the one my daughter and I took into our relationship with each other. For me, this was the most important journey of all. Mother-daughter interactions can be fraught with danger and a trip of long duration, isolation and stress provides an ideal lab for brewing up conflict. Disagreement over issues of mutual respect, independence and power often form the substrate for such conflict. Knowing this fact prior to the journey, I had to ask myself difficult questions that required honest answers. For a successful trip I knew I needed to practise behaviours that let my daughter be the independent, responsible adult that she is. I knew that she was entitled to make her

The orchard is at an exciting stage as some crops like zucchini and snap peas are close to harvest while others are just poking out of the ground. The Johnny Popper Orchard Train takes you through the field while one of the farmers explains the farming process, stages of particular crops and the uniqueness of farming in Vernon. “As a kick-off to summer, we are encouraging locals to join us on the farm and experience the activities and the great
food we have to offer,” said Davison. “Locals are incredibly valuable to tourism in the Okanagan and our event offers ideas for their summer visitors while learning what makes Davison Orchards unique and sustainable.” To add even more to the exciting day, Davison Orchards will offer specials in the market and back by popular demand, a strawberry shortcake and coffee special in the Deep Dish Café, a favourite café and coffee spot with locals and tourists alike.
Strawberries are fresh and delicious this time of year and perfect in keeping with the summer theme. “We have been farming on this property since 1933, and while we have a busy tourism season, we continue to have the generous support of our dedicated regulars. We truly appreciate our locals!” Tours run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. For more information, see the Web site at www.davisonorchards.ca

“Thank you, I think I’ve got the apexes about right,” he grinned. Hours earlier, it’s doubtful he had even heard of the tricky track, nevermind driven it. Harkening back to his references to happy endings, I reminded him that after driving with me last year he had enjoyed nothing but success. “That’s right . . . it’s all down to you,” he said with what I believed was a thoroughly genuine smile of appreciation. The end was nigh. Time flies when you are having fun: our hot lap and friendly chat took less than four minutes. Last Sunday, he enjoyed only his second podium finish of the year taking third place at the Montreal Grand Prix. You’re welcome, Seb. Same time next year, in the Eau Rouge?
“There haven’t been too many of those lately,” he joked, pressing harder on the metal, perhaps to make a point. As Infiniti Director of Performance, Vettel is truly playing a role in the development of future road products, rather than merely offering his name as a celebrity endorsement. He talked enthusiastically about the new compact, performance-oriented Q30, which should see the light late next year in Europe and a little later in Canada. The 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 Q50S we were riding in also benefitted from a little of his input. He’s clearly looking forward to Infiniti giving the go-ahead to the Q50 Eau Rouge concept, which features the Nissan GT-R’s growling 560-horsepower twin-turbo V6. Another corner loomed and I leaned into the door, as he barely slowed from the rapid pace we had zipped along the straight. “Your cornering has improved since last year,” I offered cheekily.

Zoom-Zoom goes flash and boom With a flash of lightning beside our car, my co-pilot Alexandra Straub let out a screech as loud as the accompanying crack from the massive flash. Pouring rain in our tiny car made the very first day of the 2014 Mazda rally one to remember. The Mazda MX-5 (Miata) is a car most would associate with sunny, summer top-down driving but this little machine was determined to show what it

was made of. The howling wind, torrential rain and debris-covered roads were all taken in stride as we carved our way through the Tennessee mountains on our way to the Brasstown Valley Resort in neighboring Georgia. Over the next three days, we experienced the MX-5 on some of the most dramatic and scenic roads this continent has to offer, and there was money on the line, big money. Last year was the inaugural Mazda Rally, which Alexandra and I won, taking home $10,000 in charity money for Kidsport. As last year’s champions, we had extra pressure this year to repeat, something we later found out would be much tougher than we had imagined. If you ever take a drive through the south east of the United States, do yourself a favour and divert away from the interstate highway system and experience driving nirvana, traversing the Blue Ridge, Unico and Smokey Mountain ranges. The lush National and State parks along with small towns and twisting river valleys is something to experience. This is a destination for drivers too, especially the “Tail of the Dragon”, a section of highway 129, just inside the North Carolina border that has 318 turns over an 18km stretch. This is a favourite of motorcycle riders but it is open to anyone wanting to experience back-to-back corners ranging from very tight to wide, sweeping turns. Our run up this road was wide open thanks to steady rain, with a few dozen motorcyclists out for a tour and several photographers taking
pictures, then selling them to tourist, the same way you can buy a picture of your rollercoaster ride at the PNE! Paved roads are the place the MX-5 shines, wet or dry. It never felt like the car was out of control, even on the fastest and most aggressive corners. There is 2014 Mazda Rally so much goodness dialled into this little 2014 Mazda Rally es wouldn’t impact our score too to fifth place. Sadly, next year we car that it rewards much.

The small, light, thrifty dimensions matched to a raspy 2.0L 4-cylinder and 6-speed manual makes for a fantastic power-to-weight distribution, meaning the 160hp engine might not sound like much on paper but, in practice, it makes the most of every situation. One thing Mazda’s event planners has us do was drive and collect information for each days challenges. All of these were kept secret until the beginning of each drive, including the roads we might travel. A surprise was that some sections were unpaved.

A rare Mustang T5
by Keith Morgan
The focus of Driveway’s recent fourpart collector car restoration series was unveiled this week at 360 Fabrication in Abbotsford earlier this week. The 1967 Ford Mustang T5, owned by public relations executive Laura Ballance, will take pride of place first at an exclusive preview for the second annual Vancouver Collector Car Show & Auction. Then it will go on public display at this weekend’s event at the PNE Fairgrounds, where more than 600 vintage vehicles will be on display
and nearly 150 classic rides will go on Maynard’s auction block. Some other show highlights: a bright ‘A&W orange’ 1966 Plymouth Satellite will be auctioned off with no fees, no reserve, and 100 percent of the proceeds going to the MS Society of Canada. The duPont Registry is bringing eight ultra-rare vehicles from across the Lower Mainland for the first ever duPont Series – including J.D. Rockefeller’s Lincoln Town Car Limo. The Vancity Stunters will be performing motorcycle stunts and Barracuda, the Heart tribute band, will be rock out on Saturday night. If you want to check out the restoration process for the T5 and view a photo gallery, you can do so at Drivewaycanada.ca keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca
Ideal big truck
‘‘
Not too long ago driving a heavy duty truck with a diesel engine meant you were in for a bumpy ride, not to mention the noise and smell of diesel fuel. Not now.
’’
Ian Harwood
You can feel your voice get deeper when you climb aboard this big guy. The 2014 Chevy Silverado HD I tested recently featured a 6.6-litre Duramax Turbo V8 diesel engine, mated to an Allison 6-speed automatic transmission, capable of putting out 397 horses and provides 765 lb ft of torque. It gets deeper. This guy can carry up to 1706 kg and tow up to 8119 kg. And the truck box has load-bearing upper hooks are rated to hold 113 kg each. Interior The interior is very well organized, comfortable leather 12-way front bucket seats that are heated and cooled. The rear seats are a 60/40 split. Heavy use of dark wood burl is very prominent and gives the truck a different level of sophistication. The navigation screen is positioned perfectly and is easy to program without distracting you from the road. Steering wheel controls help with all radio functions and incoming phone calls.
Vancouver Collector Car Show & Auction DATES/TIMES: June 21, 10:00AM – 9:00PM; June 22, 10:00AM – 5:00PM LOCATION: PNE Fairgrounds TICKETS: Single Day Admission - $15 Weekend Admission - $25 Children 13 years and under – Free Bidder’s Pass – $50.00 (includes a bidder’s paddle, weekend and guest pass, colour catalogue, VIP seating, two drink tickets, and an invitation for you and a guest to the opening preview event sponsored by 360 Fabrication and hosted By Steve Magnante) For more information, visit www.VancouverCollectorCars. com.

15 DAYS TO SAVE
for a big truck guy Safety There is a single stage driver and front passenger airbag. An OnStar protection service is available, and offers direct communications between emergency services and the vehicle. An electronic immobilizer is standard equipment and prevents the vehicle from being started without the key. Forward collision alert, lane departure warning and safety alert driver seat are all standard. Roadworthy The steering is very direct and responsive and makes driving a large truck very easy. There is no fighting the steering wheel which can be a problem with other trucks in this category. The cab is very quiet and you can barely hear any road or tire noise. The EZ lift tailgate is a nice feature, especially opening with one hand. Towing Capability This vehicle can tow up 8,119 kg and combined with the improved trailer sway control makes towing enjoyable. The stabilitrak control system can sense if your trailer is swaying and help control it by combining the power of the engine and the braking system to keep the trailer under control. The rearview camera is a nice touch helping to align the trailer during hookup. Hill start assist is a good feature and helps prevent you from rolling back on a hill by maintaining brake pressure until the engine delivers enough torque to move the truck up the hill. ian.harwood@drivewaybc. ca

Rena Strand (nee Gysler) Rena Strand (nee Gysler) passed away peacefully on June 12, 2014 at the age of 83 years, at Polson Special with family around her. Rena was born in ReuƟgen, Switnjerland and her family moved to Canada (Dryden, Ontario) in 1937. In Dryden, Rena went to school, worked at St. Regis Paper Mill and met Len Strand (the love of her life). They married and had two daughters, Lenora and Carolyne. In 1959, the young family moved to Vernon and added a daughter, Cynthia, and a son, Leonard to the household. Once the kids were all in school, Rena returned to work and spent 17 years at the Hiram Walker DisƟllery in WinĮeld. Rena loved to garden and spent hours tending to vegetables and beauƟful Ňowers. Travelling was another passion and she went back to Switnjerland for a visit, across Canada and to Australia as well as trips to the U.S. and all over B.C.
