Lumby murder investigated RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Police are trying to determine the events that led to one person being found dead in a rural Lumby home and another one seriously injured. On Thursday at 6:12 p.m., the RCMP received a report of a disturbance at a home in the 300 block of Trinity Valley Road. Found inside was the body of a 51-year-old Lumby woman and a man suffering from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. “There needs to be an autopsy to determine the cause of death,” said Const. Kris Clark, RCMP spokesperson, adding that

No one else was in the residence at the time of the incident, and asked if the call to police originated from the home, Clark said, “I can’t really get into specifics but it was a third party call (from outside of the home).” Charges against the injured man will be recommended in consultation with Crown counsel. As part of the investigation, the police are speaking to people living near the residence. Anyone with any information about the incident is asked to call Vernon RCMP at 250-545-7171 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

the woman’s death is being considered a homicide. “Officers are in the evidence gathering mode. We’re at the residence and doing a forensic search.” The man was transported by air ambulance to Kelowna General Hospital where, at press time, he remained in serious condition and was in police custody. It’s believed the woman and man had been in a relationship for a brief period of time. The age of the man has not been released. “He’s been from Lumby over the last few years,” said Clark.
MONTHS
North Okanagan residents are being warned to leave young deer alone, even if they appear to be abandoned. The Ministry of Environment recently charged three people with possession of fawns. “No one is allowed to pick up wildlife without permission,” said Josh Lockwood, conservation officer. The problem occurs when someone sees a fawn sitting by itself in tall grass. They believe it has been orphaned, but that’s not the case. “The mother left the fawn while she forages for food and she can be gone for up to 17 to 24 hours and then come back,” said Lockwood. There are cases where a fawn picked up by people can be successfully returned to its mother, but that doesn’t always work. “Once touched by humans, they often won’t reattach,” said Lockwood. Options for deer that can’t be returned to the wild are limited as some wildlife facilities are not taking any new animals because of the risk of disease. In some cases, fawns were not properly fed by residents who picked them up and they have to be euthanized because of malnourishment. Lockwood says people must understand that even with the best of intentions, removing a fawn from the wild and trying to raise it causes significant issues. “We won’t go through another situation like we had in Coldstream,” he said. Last year, a tamed deer began wandering through some Coldstream neighbourhoods and posed a risk to residents, including at a school. It was eventually destroyed. “Wildlife needs to stay wild,” said Lockwood. “People in possession of a fawn without approval will be charged.” The minimum fine for being in possession of wildlife is $345 and charges could be laid.

t may have made him miss out on some classes, parties and a few memories, but Dennon Leibel didn’t let cancer get in the way of graduation. Leibel managed to join the 150 other Clarence Fulton Secondary Class of 2014 students for grad Thursday and Friday in between cancer treatment. “I was supposed to start treatment Friday but they worked around it and scheduled it for Monday,” said Leibel, who is heading back to Vancouver today. The North Okanagan Knight hockey
player has been battling a rare type of cancer, Ewings Sarcoma. While he’s traded in his hockey hair for a Pittsburgh Penguin ball cap (over his bald head), he still sports the same determination he did on the ice. Listening to some of his buddies’ future plans, which include going to Alberta to work, going to Thailand and travelling, Leibel was quick to chime in. “I’m going to go up north and then I want to become a cop,” said Leibel of his future plans. But first, he is eager to catch up on some of the teenage memories he’s
missed once his treatments are over. He also has plans to start re-sharpening his hockey skills this year and hopefully be back in the game the following year. Friends Melina Boehm and Alexandra Walton also have big plans for the future. But first, they’re taking a break from the books. “We’re both taking a year off for work,” said Walton, who made her own grad dress. Then: “I’m going into design and Melina’s going to school to work with foster kids.”

Vernon RCMP and firefighters respond to a single vehicle accident at 20th Street and 48th Avenue Thursday night.
Teenagers injured during accident
Morning Star Staff
Two teens were sent to hospital after a serious motor vehicle accident in Vernon. On Thursday at about 11:45 p.m., an RCMP officer was patrolling in the area of 20th Street and 48th Avenue when he came across a single-vehicle collision. “Our officer noticed a Honda Civic was laying on the passenger side against a power pole facing westbound in that intersection,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “On examination of the vehicle, he found two men still inside. The driver is 17 and the 16-year-old pas-
senger was trapped and had to be removed with the aid of the Vernon Fire Department.” Both Vernon residents suffered serious injuries, and broken bones. They were transported by ambulance to Vernon Jubilee Hospital. “The traffic analyst was called to assist in the investigation due to the seriousness of their injuries,” said Molendyk, adding that B.C. Hydro was also on scene to determine the integrity of the power pole. “Officers do not suspect alcohol was a factor in their initial findings of this investigation. The file remains under investigation.”
Vehicle fire deemed suspicious Morning Star Staff
The number of arson fires continues to grow in Vernon. Firefighters were called to the 6000 block of Tronson Road at about 1 a.m. Saturday. Upon arrival, they found an older motorhome that had been set ablaze and an adjacent pickup truck that had suffered exposure damage. “They gained access to the compound and knocked it down,” said Jack Blair, Vernon deputy fire chief. This is believed to be the 18th suspicious fire in the Greater Vernon
area in about a month. “These are very difficult to investigate,” said Blair, adding that evidence is not always readily available. It’s not known if all of the cases are the result of one individual or if several people are responsible. The concern among firefighters and the RCMP is the magnitude of the arsons may escalate and public safety could be put at risk. “If there is anything people see that may be unusual, please call 911 right away,” said Blair.

MLA questions need for mediator Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo wants to see an end to the teachers’ strike but he isn’t convinced there is a role for a mediator. The B.C. Teachers Federation has requested that a third-party mediator get involved to break the impasse with the provincial government, but that concept has been turned down by Education Minister Peter Fassbender. “It appears both parties are miles apart and a mediator is of benefit when the two parties are particularly close,” said Kyllo. Kyllo says there is a need for both parties to negotiate but any negotiated settlement must fit within the government’s financial constraints and be in the range of deals hammered out with other unions. Heather Malcolm, Vernon Teachers Association president, believes the BCTF’s request to Fassbender for a mediator makes sense. “I’m disappointed that he thinks we’re far apart,” she said. “I am hopeful they will go for a mediator so we can have an agreement by the end of June. It (mediator) is a way to get to the table and to get it done.” Malcolm says spirits remain high among teachers as they prepare for another week on the picket line. “Teachers want to be in the classroom but we’re standing up for what’s important,” she said, adding

that the key issues are class size and composition. Kyllo has been hearing from residents since the full-scale strike began. “I’m getting mixed messages,” he said. “Some parents are concerned about the impact of strike action and other constituents believe the government is being reasonable and to hold the line to what taxpayers can afford.”

“I talked to my family and they are behind me 100 per cent. They said, ‘Dad, you like to help people.’” Lippert joins Salmon Arm businessperson Mel Arnold, Vernon businessperson Scott Anderson and former Lumby councillor Janet Green in the race to replace Colin Mayes, who will retire as MP once his term is over. “I intend to build on his (Mayes) successes while promoting those conservative values most important to the citizens of the Okanagan-Shuswap,” he said. “The biggest thing I have to offer is the experience (of being mayor). I have worked with the other levels of government.” A priority for Lippert is addressing public concerns about a range of issues. “We have to look after jobs and lifestyle,” said Lippert, who is a mechanic and has done

MMBC has two drop-off locations in Vernon specifically for plastic bags, plastic wrap, styrofoam and glass. However, Pearase says that means some residents will drive significant distances. “People in Mara have to go all the way to Vernon,” she said, adding that there is also a landfill in Armstrong. If recycling it not being taken to RDNO landfills for collection, Pearase fears some residents will discard their recycling illegally in wooded or rural settings. “There’s a concern we’re going to see more stuff at Hunter’s Range or on Hartnell Road,” she said.

Kingfisher centre backed richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Enderby officials are taking pen to paper to ensure a local organization recovers from a devastating slide and flood. City council has agreed to provide a letter of support to the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre, which sustained significant damage when Cooke Creek overflowed its banks May 2. “As they move forward Howie Cyr with applying for senior government grants, we want to show our support,” said Mayor Howie Cyr. “It’s a fixture in our region with education and the environmental good it does.”

Cyr is confident the centre can rebuild. “I hope levels of government — federal and provincial — will step up to the plate because it’s a vital part of our community,” he said.

Charges are likely after a suspected stolen vehicle fled from police in Lake Country. On Thursday at 11:30 p.m., police were tracking a suspected stolen vehicle on Old Vernon Road, near Kelowna International Airport. Ultimately, it got on to Highway 97 and went into Lake Country. “Investigators followed in an unmarked police vehicle and called ahead to waiting officers, who subsequently deployed a spike belt,” said Cst. Kris Clark, with the RCMP. “Despite all four tires deteriorating quickly, several marked police vehicles with lights and sirens blaring and the driver only able to continue slowly, he showed no signs of stopping. Before long, the car was riding on several rims and spraying sparks, with the undercarriage smoking.” As they came up to the exit for the Pelmewash Parkway, the car was now on fire and the driver stopped. The police quickly took him into custody. “Investigators found the man to be prohibited from driving and his front female passenger to be wanted on outstanding warrants for the same offence,” said Clark. Two girls, ages five and eight, were found in the rear seat. They were uninjured and were referred to the appropriate authorities. A 48-year-old Kelowna man faces potential charges of cause of pursuit and driving while prohibited. He was expected to appear in court Friday. A 41-year-old Kelowna woman was held on warrants and was also expected to appear in court Friday.

ith any luck at all, and I didn’t fall flat on my face on the way to the podium, this is what I said, roughly, on behalf of the parents, to the Class of 2014 at Fulton Secondary on Friday night.... ....you know what I can’t get over as I stand before you tonight? Well, other than it’s me up here trying to be wise and wonderful on behalf of the parents – good luck with that. There’s a reason I write for a living, so I don’t have to do stuff like this. But, also, it’s how fast we got to this point. OMG, as the kids like to say. It seems like only yesterday I was taking my youngest son to Kindergarten initiation day at Harwood Elementary. And there he was refusing to advance past the entranceway where they hang the coats and actually into the classroom with the other kids. I knew this might happen as Luc and I basically took pre-school together for the most part, but I had no idea what to do next. But Mrs. Scott did. BHH (bless her heart). Glenn Mitchell She brought out a desk so my son could sit in the coat room and sort of participate while watching the kids from afar, and it worked, sort of. He was still there when I returned an hour later. But he’s come a long way since then, with the help of other teachers and classmates and maybe a little bit his parents: he eventually aced Kindergarten and moved on to Grade 1 and even transitioned to another school at Okanagan Landing and survived being a beaner at high school and even, if I do say, thrived here at Fulton, and I’m sure every one of you parents would say the same thing about your kids. From all of us (hopefully arms outstretched to encompass all the parents), to all of you (circling the student body with a pointed finger for dramatic effect), a hearty congratulations. And you know what? He even learned to like school an awful lot. He learned to like it so much, I don’t think he wants to leave. The other night on the way home from somewhere he proclaimed, “You know what, dad, gradding sucks.” This concerned me. For two reasons.

One, I don’t think “gradding” is actually a word, although I did know what he meant. I’m pretty sure he meant “graduating.” Why do they have to shorten everything these days? Again, OMG. And he didn’t mean this thing we’re celebrating tonight sucks. Far from it, we’re rightfully celebrating an important accomplishment and milestone tonight and us parents, your teachers and maybe even your brothers and sisters are rightfully proud of you. So enjoy it. No, he meant that this is also a transition time in your lives, from the security and certainty of seeing your friends every day and pretty much knowing what your schedule is every day, and the comfort zone that that creates for you.........and trading that, for, well, the great unknown. Yikes, maybe he’s got a point. But, you know what, it’s kind of like initiation day at Kindergarten, it’s not as scary as it looks. I’m pretty sure most people over there (gesture towards parents) would trade places with you people over there (gesture towards grads) in a heartbeat. Although that might be because their memory is faulty and their bodies ain’t exactly what they used to be, it’s also because they know what awaits you on the road to find out. Tonight is an end but it’s also the beginning of a bold, new chapter where you get to write the book more than you ever did before. Travel. Get a job. Go to school. Learn stuff. Forget stuff. Fail. Succeed. Repeat if necessary. And enjoy and live your life. Ignore the doomsday predictions of imminent economic and environmental collapse – they’ve been around at least since the ‘70s when I was gradding and we’re still here – and go make your mark on the world. As long as we try to be kind to each other, and Mother Earth while we’re at it, we should be OK. It’s understandable to be anxious about what lies ahead, that’s what friends are for so try to keep them as best you can, but even though it seems like everyone else knows what they’re doing and, you, well maybe not so much, I’ll let you in on a little secret – we’re all winging it (gesture allencompassingly, aw, forget it). So, I’m going to leave you tonight by quoting another guru from the ‘70s, and I may even try and sing it - “School’s out for summer, school’s out for ever.” Go get ‘em Class of 2014. We’re proud of you, love you and wish you nothing but the best.
When two sides in a labour dispute cannot even agree on when and for how long they met on the weekend, how can anybody expect a resolution to more weighty matters? That teachers began their fullscale strike was no surprise given the acrimony between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the provincial government (through the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association). Not only were words exchanged over when and how long the two sides met on the weekend, the groups still cannot agree on what each others’ proposal will cost. When a 7.5 per cent pay hike may actually be a seven per cent increase and when a 9.25 per cent lift might really be 14.5 per cent, it is time to call timeout. As one wag put it — the union and government are either inhabited by liars or by people with extremely poor math skills. It has become past ridiculous. By the time the lockout and strike arrived, the school year was all but over. What happens next depends on the resolve of teachers. As was found out when visiting picket lines, the reduced pay is affecting some teachers. But, as many said, they feel what they are doing is worth it. Government has the hammer in this dispute. At any moment, the B.C. Liberals can simply legislate a contract. But, wielding the power does not necessarily come with a white hat. It is past time this dispute was sent to binding arbitration. If the union believes in its fight; if the Christy Clark administration believes likewise, both sides need to be confident enough to have a third party lend credence to their argument. — Kamloops This Week

A taxing situation at city hall
had some difficulty with the explanatory figures provided by Vernon with my 2014 tax bill. I guess they were calculated with the new math because my old style arithmetic (where two plus two equals four) did not get the same answers the city did. Vernon says its 2014 taxes are 3.97 per cent more than its 2013 taxes. So, I took the average tax paid in 2013 of $981.86 and multiplied it by 1.0397 which, I was taught way back when, should give what the average tax will be in 2014. But the answer I got was $1,020.84. That’s $54.15 less than the $1,074.99 that the city provided as the 2014 average tax bill. Hmmm. OK, I see that Vernon took over parks in 2014 from the Regional District of North Okanagan. So a bit of subtraction showed that the RDNO tax bill dropped by $50.52 and a bit of addition showed that the Vernon tax bill increased by $93.13. Gee, isn’t amalgamation supposed to reduce our tax bill? Hmmm. Vernon claims that $200,000 in administration costs was eliminated by shifting management of local parks to it. That’s great but I guess the savings only show up when you use the new math.
recycling plan Did anyone put any thought into the new recycling program? I just had my child's birthday. You know that window that you can see the Barbie or the car through? You are now expecting me and every other parent throughout the province to remove that and put it into the plastic bin and take the rest of the carton and place it in the paper bin. How about the box of spaghetti with the same plastic window? Same thing, take out the window and put it in the plastic bin and the rest of the carton in the paper bin. I know I am a bit particular but I spent 45 minutes one night organizing my recycling bins. I have my kids throw what is recycling into the bucket, to teach them early recycling habits and now I have to go behind them and make sure they have put it in the correct bin, which I have labelled. My bins have to be under cover (my blue bags got filled and thrown outside) as I cannot leave them in the
The old-style arithmetic I was taught just doesn’t seem to cut it anymore. Hmmm. Vernon says 1.9 per cent of the tax increase was due to a capital fund levy to keep our infrastructure up to snuff. That’s OK by me but adding a multi use pathway to the 29th Street corridor does not meet my definition of infrastructure. I was taught infrastructure means basic services such as water, sewage, roads. Apparently Vernon has redefined infrastructure to include fancy landscaped pathways that reduce on street parking. Hmmm. I note the capital levy is cumulative. Hopefully, that just means ongoing in
elements for the rain, sun and wind combination will be sure to attract every insect in the province. What now, we have a west Nile outbreak? No wheels or lids, seriously? I am as fit and strong and capable as they come and the bin is heavy after two weeks of newspaper and other cardboard materials? How are the elderly and disabled suppose to handle this? No wheels and no lids, hummm? Please think this over. The harder and more inconvenient you make this recycling program, the less people will utilize and comply. Donna Hopkins Driving concerns Three years ago, we moved to Vernon from the coast. We were very happy to get away from all the traffic there (Surrey/Vancouver). We live on the corner of 43rd Avenue and 25th Street and our front window faces the intersection. Every morning, while having our morning coffee, we hold our breath
Vernon-speak. If it stays at 1.9 per cent in next year's budget rather than doubling to 3.8 per cent then we will know, won’t we? Usually I think of adding stuff such as electronic billing and filing systems as being cost-savers. But nope, they account for 0.5 per cent of our budget increase. I guess for Vernon, it’s like how they saved us taxpayers money by spending almost $300,000 to relocate the tourist info center off highway. Hmmm. Oh, part of that 0.5 per cent increase is for snow clearing improvements. By watching Allenby Way, I learned something about why snow clearing costs more.
and wonder if today is the day that a child is going to get hit. The kids are not getting off their bikes to cross the road like we were taught to do. They cross the road on the opposite side where the crosswalk is. Cars are racing down 43rd Avenue as if its a raceway, trying to catch the green light on 27th Street, not caring who is in their way. And then we have the people who think that 25th Street is also a raceway and they have every right to use it so they don't have all of the lights on 27th Street. Half of the time, these turkeys don't even take time to stop and look both ways before crossing 43rd Avenue, and thus we have another accident. We have had three within a 10-day period that we know of. And then we have drivers who want to turn left on to 25th Street from 43rd Avenue, who also have no regards for pedestrians and think they have the right of way if there is no oncoming traffic. I actually have seen City of Vernon trucks, which
By observation I saw that after Allenby was put on a diet (that’s a Vernon-speak term), it not only has a city bobcat come and plow the multi-use pathway after a snowfall, but also gets a city bobcat to come and sweep the multi-use path clear of sand. Hmmm. Where I live in Bella Vista, we don’t even have sidewalks let alone have them plowed and swept. Nor do we have curbs, storm sewers or bike lanes. So why are some parts of town getting fancy multi-use paths with complimentary plowing and sweeping, whether they want them or not, while others lack basic amenities? Hmmm. Let’s elect a council this November that is better at separating the wheat from the chaff. I agree multi-use paths are nice to have as are an improved art gallery and museum and I agree something needs to be done about the aging Civic Arena as well, but first let's get some of our potholes fixed. Put our city propaganda/bafflegab spin doctors on a strict diet and they better heed what concerned citizens have to say when they take the trouble to respond to council’s request for public input. Jim Bodkin
have the big signs on it, "Slow down my dad works here," cutting kids off because they could not stop in time because they were roaring down 43rd Avenue. And then you have the Okanagan College 14-wheelers coming down 25th Street. What is a huge truck like that doing on a small street like that and then having to turn left on to 43rd Avenue, and having a hard time doing so and stopping traffic in all directions? I would love to see the new plan for 25th Street go through and see it started at 43rd Avenue and 25th Street. From what I heard at the meeting, city council is hearing from people who are against this plan and not enough from people who are for it, so that is why I am writing this letter. I actually overheard a guy say he does not bike or walk and only drives his car, and admit he doesn't even live in this area, but uses it for shortcuts to and from work...grrrrrrrrr. aletta grey

Hett gears up for Argentina race KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Victoria (Tory) Hett will represent Canada at the World Off-Road Racing Championships in Argentina this fall. In between, the 30-year-old first lady of motorcycle off-road racing will take on the big boys in cross country events all over. Hett packed her gum boots, rain jacket and umbrella for the 66th annual Piston Run last weekend in Chilliwack. She finished fifth in the men’s division of the Pacific Northwest Motorcyle Association race. Employed in the marketing department at Kal Tire, Hett got the holeshot and led for some time. She was then joined closely by Kurt Mortenson, Blake Watkinson, Mike Laycraft and Patrick Roulliard in the leading pack. “On sections like the steep downhills, our voices overcame the engines as we shouted back and forth ‘woo hoo’ to each other and enjoyed the break,” said the 5-foot-7, Victoria Hett 170-pound Hett. “I think almost all of us led at one point or another and half way through the last lap, I found myself in a great battle with Blake, who was in first at the time, and Kurt, who was just behind me in third.” Motenson passed Hett during a stretch of dust road with dangerous water bars. The dust overcame Hett and she failed to see the water bar in time to slow down. “I exited the water bar with some uncontrolled air time and landed on the edge of a deep ditch full of slash pile material,” she said. “I only barely saved myself from careening into the ditch and kept my momentum going enough to lean backwards toward the road.” Mortenson took top spot in the expert class, followed by Laycraft and Watkinson. “Just near the last 20 seconds of trail, I stalled my bike in a corner and was overtaken by Patrick. I chased him down as hard I could until the finiush line where MAYO JORDANOV PHOTO we came in so fast together that we both blew through the check without stopping. Vernon’s Victoria Hett rides in the 66th annual off-road motorcycle Piston Run last weekend in Chilliwack.

She carries sponsorship from: Valley Motosport, KTM, Emperor Racing, PTI Graffix, Earlier this season, she was second in the women’s division at the Desert 100 in Odessa, Wash. Hett was third in the ISDE six-day world enduro championships in September, 2012, in Gamma Sales, Fly Racing, IRC Tires, Dragon Goggles, Atlas Braces, FMF, FasstCompany Flexx Germany and was the first Canadian woman to finish and be accepted into the 2010 worlds near Handlebars, Ryno Power, Shorai Batteries, TM Designs, USWE, Don Weixl Photography, Riders Edge Suspension, and Advanced Pave-tech.

Mick family reunion in Salmon Arm Morning Star Staff
The Salmon Arm SilverBacks will have another Mick next B.C. Hockey League season. SilverBacks’ GM and president, Troy Mick, completed a deal with the Merritt Centennials today for his son, Logan. The Cents, who acquired Mick earlier in the offseason from the Vernon Vipers, receive future considerations. “First of all, I would like to thank the Merritt organization and Luke Pierce for giving us the opportunity
for Logan to play his last year of Junior hockey in Salmon Arm,” said Mick. “The professionalism that they showed in making this happen shows the class of their program.” Logan Mick will be entering his third year and potentially his last in the BCHL as he is committed to Quinnipiac University Bobcats for the 2015-2016 season. “We are very excited to announce the addition of Logan Mick to the SilverBacks,” said Salmon Arm head coach Brandon West. “He’s
fresh off a great playoff run and expected to play a leadership role on our hockey team. Logan is a talented hockey player that will put you on the edge of your seat with his skill and energy.” Logan has played 102 BCHL regular-season games and has compiled 11 goals and 23 points. He was traded to the Centennials by Vernon to complete a deal last fall which saw the Vipers acquire the rights to defenceman Dylan Chanter.
Meanwhile, Vernon’s Kyle Anderson is the new play-by-play man for the West Kelowna Warriors of the BCHL. “I will be doing all 58 games on the internet while working in media relations and handling the website,” said Anderson, who is currently doing internet play-by-play for the Kelowna Falcons of the Pacific International League. Anderson, who turns 25 in late July, spent two years as game-day manager for the BCHL Nanaimo

Kowal writes for help
s the wife of a longtime NHL referee, Alaine Kowal has heard plenty of funny, touching and crazy hockey stories. There is, however, nothing Slap Shot like in her children’s book, The Little Dance Teacher. “No, there’s nothing about hockey,” she laughed, in a phone interview. “It’s all about dance.” Alaine, who has been married to Vernon’s Tom Kowal for 19 years, took seven months to write the book as a charitable project to support local dance studio Dance Tech Inc. The devastating High River flood of 2013 affected thousands, including the Kowal family. She saw many sports, including her son Troy’s hockey association, receive Kevin Mitchell funds to help recover lost equipment but there was never any funding to support young dancers. He two daughters, Jenny-Sue and Reagan, lost dance uniforms and some dance families had trouble finding cash for dance tuition. “We have a family from the dance studio still living at Saddlebrook, the temporary housing, still waiting for their house to be rebuilt,” said Alaine. “We lost everything that was in our basement (including a piano her father once played) so were lucky compared to some people. It’s raining right now and it has been for four days so everybody’s on edge.” The Kowals live on Sunshine Place and a small block party, complete with a live band, was held Friday to mark the first anniversary of the disaster. “Lots of people have left. I lost my doctor. It’s brought the community closer though. People are always asking, ‘How’d you make out?’” She has raised $300 since releasing the book in April, and has ordered 1,000. “Little Miss Jenny-Ray is a dance teacher in a small town at the base of the mountains. When her little town floods, Miss Jenny-Ray wants to help but doesn’t know what to do. So, she does the only thing she can think of – she dances and helps bring back the spirit of her dancers and the town.” Koval explained that The Little Dance Teacher is dedicated to those who want to help in times of disaster but don’t know how. “I was trying to think of a way to help the dancers and I wanted to come up with a way to help that would reach outside of High River to bring outside dollars into the community and I think the whole idea for this book chose me.”
BETWEEN THE LINES
She noted that Dance Tech owner Amanda Messner was a huge inspiration for the book because of all of the hard work she put into rebuilding the dance studio. “Miss Amanda was a huge inspiration for the book itself but she was also a huge inspiration for the main character in the story, who I actually named after my daughters,” she said. The illustrator is Matt Zoumer, who donated his work. “He’s a 60-year-old cowboy from Longview who is an amazing artist,” said Alaine. Those outside of High River can order the book online with a PayPal account at www.routesmedia. com/store for a cost of $18, including shipping.
Hockey enforcers speak out
Brian D’Ambrosio of Missoula, Mont. used to work as a boxing writer in New York. “In general, I’m a roaming, nomadic reporter, looking for the next cool subject,” he wrote me in an e-mail. D’Ambrosio recently published Warriors on the Ice: Hockey’s Toughest Talk, a book available through Amazon. He interviewing 30 of the toughest guys in the history of the NHL, in a 250-plus page book. Some of hockey’s greatest enforcers, from Tim Hunter to Tony Twist, discuss the evolution of the tough guy position. Former Vancouver Canuck Craig Coxe, ex-Philly Flyer Glen Cochrane, who lives in Kelowna, and one-time Flame and Panther Rocky Thompson also discuss their first fight and more. Each player shares a memory of Bob Probert, considered the toughest fighter ever. “Secondly, it’s about the overall evaporating enforcer role and the death of fighting in the modern NHL,” said D’Ambrosio. Former Canuck d-man Jim Agnew talks about how he and Alan May once bet $50 before a bout and then proceeded to the penalty box and asked one another about their folks, much to the surprise of the gate keeper. Says Agnew, who had one assist in 81 NHL games: “My skill level probably wasn’t all that high. My old junior coach told me, ‘When you get the puck, just get rid of it. I don’t want to see you going more than two strides with that thing.’ I more or less bluffed my way through the NHL.” Added Flyer ruffian Ed Hospodar, on the mind-set 30 years ago: “Glen Sather once said he had two boxes ready for me in Edmonton. One was for my head and the other was for the rest of my body.”

Perfection is a dish best served Cold
Country Concrete LAWN ORNAMENTS
Morning Star Staff
The Ice Cold Pitches completed the perfect season and defended their title by grazing the Whitehouse Mortgage Gators 17-16 in the Vernon Women’s SloPitch League playoff final Wednesday night at Kin Park. The Gators went up by two in the extra international inning, but the Pitches responded with three runs. The Pitches also won the regular-season pennant at 10-0. Brittany Housego jacked two bombs for the Pitches, while Taylor Weixl was 6-for-6 and Jenny Gartner was 4-for-6. Jen Doyle supplied three hits, including a home run in the sixth inning, knocking in three runs for the Gators. Melissa Locke was 2-for-4 with a three-run dinger in the seventh inning. Kelli Graham was 3-for-4 with a triple and a double, while Jen Thatcher and Taryn Robertson each went 3-for-4 with one ribbie.

Sylvester’s snipe lifts Sistas by Drywallers The OTC/Sunterra Sistas shut out Do-it Drywall 1-0 in a North Okanagan Women’s Soccer League Division 2 showdown Thursday night at Marshall Field #1. Sistas’ keeper Diane Neudorf launched the ball down field to winger Kim Sylvester, who ran down the pitch and cranked one home from outside the 18. The Sistas (6-1) welcomed back Sharina Zantingh to their roster. The drywallers fell to 6-1. In Okanagan Valley Men’s 55+ League action, the Summerland Rockets grounded Vernon Kal Tire 2-0 at Shannon Woods Park
in West Kelowna. Andy Burt and Dan Dinsmore scored for Summerland in the second half. Keeper Tom McGill made several big saves and delivered booming 60-yard kicks all night for the shutout. Striker Ken Rath struck the crossbar once and was robbed by McGill in tight, earning the Rocky Mountain Transport Man of the Match for the tiremen (3-5-1). Honourable mention went to right fullback Gordie Campbell. The Silver Stars won by default over the shorthanded Westside FC, improving to 7-1-1. Penticton shaded Winfield 3-2 on two Peter Toth goals.
Cheyne’s deuce gives Team Green soccer upset Morning Star Staff
Team Green picked a fabulous time to win their first soccer game of the season. Roadrunner Ty Cheyne scored twice, including the winner with six minutes left, as Green stunned the Orange Dudes 3-2 in Vernon Cup Under 14/15 boys division play Friday night. Ethan Ehman also scored for Green, while Joe Eggert and Garrett Birch responded for Orange (1-1 in Cup action). The White Knights brushed back the Navy 3-2 in other
U14/15 action Friday night at Marshall Field. Mexico’s Andre Soto Alvarez put the Knights ahead in the sixth minute when he converted a penalty kick past keeper Dylan Peoples after a hand ball ruling. Chris Moore equalized in the 21st minute. Red Robin Man of the Match Reece Hawthorne gave the Knights the lead at 35 minutes after a nice feed from speedy Kyle Karens, who controlled the flanks all night. Kevin Schilter levelled the score at 45 minutes with Hawthorne netting the winner five minutes later. The Knights are 1-1 in Cup play.

Agricultural plan seeks business input
Opening The DOOrs

North Okanagan businesses, residents and producers are being asked to help determine the future of agriculture. The Regional District of North Okanagan is seeking input as part of the development of an agricultural area plan. “An agricultural area plan identifies opportunities to strengthen farming, and to contribute to food production and regional sustainability,” said Anthony Kittel, regional growth strategy co-ordinator. “The plan will identify key issues and opportunities, make recommendations for future actions and include a practical strategy for implementation.” Kittel says the policy document will guide future decision-making related to local agriculture and food production. “As part of the consultation pro-
cess, the steering committee is interested in hearing from a broad array of agricultural producers, consumers, community groups, associations, businesses and individuals,” he said. There are two online surveys – one for producers and one for the public. “Collectively, this public input will be used in the creation of a background report that will provide greater insight into agricultural production, top of mind issues, suggested solutions and the overall agricultural vision for the North Okanagan,” said Kittel. “All of this public input will be considered during the development of the plan and there will be another opportunity in the Fall for the public to get involved. The survey can be completed online at www.rdno.ca/agplansurvey or use a paper form which is available at the RDNO office and municipal offices. The deadline is Sept. 1.
Cherry farmers harvest markets in China Morning Star Staff
Cherry farmers in the Okanagan Valley are gaining expanded access to the largest consumer market in the world. B.C. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick and federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz have been touring China as part of a federally led trade mission. “An agreement was signed between the governments of Canada and China that will lead to full, unimpeded access for fresh B.C. cherries into China,” said Letnick, who is the Lake Country MLA. “As a result, B.C. cherry growers stand to generate millions of dollars a year in new revenue.” Letnick says the provincial government has worked closely with cherry growers, the federal government and Chinese importers to reach this agreement. “We look forward to building on
this momentum and playing the same role in helping gain access for fresh B.C. blueberries, as well as working to expand the markets for B.C. pork, wine, seafood and other products,” he said. “I’d also like to congratulate the governments of Canada and China on the ongoing progress made on this trade mission towards fresh B.C. blueberries being approved for sale in the Chinese market. B.C. growers could be looking at up to $65 million worth of exports a year once the agreement is fully implemented.” According to Letnick, the agreements being made on the trade mission could result in an increase in B.C. agrifood exports of about $100 million within a few years. “The opportunities in China are huge,” he said. “We’ve set record agrifood exports to China in each of the last four years, and we want that to grow.”

New trade agreements mean more cherries from the Okanagan Valley could be heading to China.

ReJen focuses on health Tyler lowey Morning Star Staff
Jenny Garbutt hopes to make a difference in people’s health care, Garbutt opened ReJen Health last March in the Sterling Centre on 25th Avenue. “I have always been interested in body health. I have seen amazing results with this treatment on friends in the past so I decided to take a leap of faith,” said Garbutt. Garbutt moved from Edmonton to Vernon in 1981. Prior to ReJen Health, she was an architect with her own interior design company. Garbutt completed her electro-proscope course at the Thorp Institute last October in Encinitas, Calif. Garbutt works with an electro-proscope machine. Half of the machine is an acuscope, which heals nerves. The other half is myopulse, which heal the connective tissues and bone tissues. Two probes are placed with conductive gel

around the injured area when a small electrical current is comfortably introduced. The electro-proscope sends out a frequency at a millionth of an ampere or lower to encourage the damaged cell to resonate at the normal healthy frequency. “It is detox at a cellular level. The gentle stimuli opens the cell gates releasing the waste allowing the cell to take in nutrients,” said Garbutt. Each session lasts between 60 to 90 minutes and the amount of sessions required depends on the severity of the injury. “It isn’t just for athletes. I have young patients and I just worked on someone who is 88 years old,” said Garbutt. ReJen Health works with several acute injuries — anything from sports injures, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, back pains, shoulder and knee injuries. Garbutt claims an 80 to 90 per cent success rate for people that stick with the program. “It is like recharging a battery. You can use it after only charging it halfway, or you can charge it 100 per cent and be good to go,” said Garbutt. Garbutt sees herself moving into the beautification field one day to use her work to reduce signs of aging.

A new study suggests the Okanagan’s economy is going through a transition. The Growing in the Okanagan 2020 Labour Market Outlook says that employers expect the region’s labour force will grow by about 18.5 per cent in the next six years, and total new hires for the region are estimated to be more than 75,000 workers by 2020. “The project was motivated by changing economic climates in B.C. and the unique opportunities and challenges faced by the Okanagan region,” said Corie Griffiths, business Corie Griffiths development officer for the Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission, which led the process. “The outlook provides comprehensive data from multiple primary and secondary sources which provides detailed information about the future workforce needs Kevin Poole throughout the region. This information can be used by various industry, training and policy stakeholders to ensure the Okanagan is poised for growth.” The research includes a detailed assessment of the North Okanagan, Central Okanagan and Okanagan-Similkameen regional districts aimed at providing a full understanding of labour market trends, the post-secondary education needs and specific program gaps, and anticipated labour market needs within the next five years. A key finding of the report indicates that over the next six years, more than two-thirds of new hires will require some form of post-secondary education. “Given the current education profile of residents in the Okanagan region, it would appear that employers may experience difficulty in hiring individuals who have the appropriate level of education as almost one-half of current Okanagan residents do not have any education or training beyond high school,” states the report. Population growth and current migration levels appear sufficient to cover between 52.3 and 69.4 per cent of all new hires needed in the region. Current net migration to the region is required to double or triple to meet labour market demands. “Employers only rated the local labour workforce as being an important source of labour, viewing workforces from other provinces and other countries as of lesser importance,” states the report. “Migration is an important labour source for the area, where on average, more than 18,000 individuals relocated to the Okanagan each year. The majority (52 per cent) of migrants to the Okanagan are predominantly from other regions of B.C. However, more than 36 per cent of all migrants come from other provinces.” Kevin Poole, Vernon’s economic development manager, has reviewed the findings of the report. “The Okanagan has to identify additional ways to attract workers to the area to ensure our companies can continue to grow,” he said. “The top five identified employment gaps by sector are in retail trade, manufacturing, finance and insurance, accommodation and food, and professional, scientific and technical trades.”

GEORGIA - At first glance, it looks like just a log floating near the right shore of Georgia’s slow-moving Mayhall River. But as we paddle closer in our kayaks, I realize my eyes are playing tricks on me. It’s an alligator. Something catches the corner of my eye on the left. I quickly turn my head, and see water ripple where something has just disappeared. Glancing in the direction the ripple seemed to be heading, I’m rewarded with another ’gator sighting as its head pops up, about 10 yards away. Awesome! We’re just 10 minutes out from the lodge on Eagle Island, paddling with guide Dan Cressette of Altamaha Coastal Tours, our morning adventure off to a good start. The island is one of a series of coastal islands off the south coast of Georgia, just a few hours away from Jacksonville, Florida. Alligators are not the only wildlife keeping us company. We spot a boat-tailed grackle, the first of many of the shorebird species we’ll see. Eventually we reach a junction with the Darien River, paddling a short distance along its waters to Escape Island, a spot favoured for camping. We’re not stopping for that long, though, just for a break and a natural history lesson from our guide. This part of the world has a very interesting mix of plants and animals, as it’s a transition zone, a border between northern and southern forests, so both exotic deciduous and coniferous trees call it home. Georgia boasts plenty of swamps and jungle-like areas – but we also find yucca plants on this island, along with cedar trees along with short-leaf pine trees. After our interpretive talk ends, we take advantage of the incoming tide to use

a shortcut, paddling through some tall grasses where 10 minutes before, there had been no channel. This takes us back to the Mayhall without having to go back the way we came along the Darien. Paddling back to the lodge, we spy numerous herons and cormorants – and plenty of fish, too: mullets jump out of the river, and even a garfish shows itself. Ten minutes away from the lodge, I call out, “’Gator at 12 o’ clock!” as Cressette touches paddles with me and says, “Good spot!” We paddle past, watching just his nostrils and eyes sticking above the surface of the water. Pulling back up to the dock, I spy a turkey vulture circling overhead. Not this time, Mr. Vulture. We all made
it back in one piece. A few days later, I find myself embarking on another kayak adventure in Georgia, this time with Southeast Adventures on St. Simon’s Island. Our group paddles into Postle Creek, a salt marsh that eventually takes us out to the ocean. We wind back and forth in the narrow channel, hearing the distinct “oka-dee!” call of red-winged blackbirds. Sometimes we get lucky and even spot one, along with an occasional egret, looking for fish for breakfast. Along the way, we learn about The Battle of Bloody Marsh fought here in 1742 between the British and Spanish, who both claimed the area as their own. The British repulsed the Spanish and eventually won control of St. Simon’s Island. The Spanish still held Florida, but eventually surrendered it to Britain at the end of the French and Indian War in 1763. As we paddle out of the marsh and into Gould’s Inlet, we fight our own battle against a stiff wind and an opposing current, allies in an attempt to try to push us back. But like the British, we win the day and make our way out to a small island with a nice beach for some lazy beachcombing. It feels good to get out of the kayaks and stretch our legs, enjoying the warmth of the day. Willets scurry around on the sand, and we see plenty of hermit crab holes in our wandering - but no crabs. Again, some of the vegetation reminds me of the contrasts in this land that’s not quite temperate, yet not quite tropical, not quite wetland, but not really desert: cacti peek up through the sands all along the island. As I climb out of the kayak at our takeout point, I reflect that while we may think of swamps when we hear Georgia mentioned, it is really a land of transition, a land of many surprises, even along its coastal islands.

Grochmals celebrate 65 years Walter Grochmal and Tove Erhardsen met in Aarhus, Denmark following the Second World War. Walter was a Merchant Marine, but he realized that if there was to be a future for them, he would have to choose a different occupation. He began studies in the electrical and industrial instrumentation field, and Tove rejoined him in Calgary in 1949. The couple married June 25, 1949. Walter’s work took him to Vancouver and Port Moody, B.C., Regina, Fort William, Fort McMurray and Perth, Australia. They raised a family of five children on the go. Walter and Tove

ast month I got off on a bit of a tirade regarding the intrusiveness of the current version of Windows. I haven’t yet switched to Linux; that may happen over the summer. But I have discovered a few work-arounds that avoid many (not all) of the Windows related popups that are so annoying and counter-productive. Those of you using Internet Explorer might want to consider switching to Firefox or Safari which seem to be less affected, with the latter product from Apple being the most immune. It is a full-featured browser considered by many to be equal to or better than others on the market. Avoid plug-ins and apps closely tied to Windows and software vendors claiming to be Microsoft “partners.” If you use your computer to Vernon PC Users’ Club manage your personal finances, find software that you can use offline and go on the Internet only to pay bills and check your bank account. Any pop-ups responded to positively are potentially “gotchas,” whereby people bent on doing harm to your computer can gain entry to your system. Never leave a browser open and connected to the Internet even for a short time because when you return you may find many of its tabs have been opened as well. The bad stuff is coming at you at close to the speed of light so it doesn’t take long to infect. When you go to bed or leave your home, shut your system down altogether. At the very least disconnect from the Internet. Anti-malware and anti-virus software will provide a measure of protection if current, but there is a wack of it out there, some of which are “gotchas.” Be very wary of the pop-ups that warn of imminent disasters if you don’t register for and buy a product. Sorry to cast such a sour note over the last article of the year, but it is indeed unfortunate that having purchased a potentially very useful and pleasurable device that it turns out to be a source of so much aggravation. Have a great summer! The Vernon PC Users’ Club meets the second Tuesday of the month, September to June. Call Betty at 542-7024 or Olive at 542-8490 for more information.

Bridge by Phillip Alder ARE YOU SUFFERING FROM DEJA VU? Steven Wright, a comedian who specializes in deadpan delivery, said, “Right now I’m having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.” Cast your mind back to yesterday’s column. Then look at this one. Maybe you will have a Steven Wright moment. West is defending against four hearts. He leads off with the club ace: six, queen, nine. How should he hope to defeat the contract? The bidding is instructive. North is right to make a takeout double over one club. True, if South does not have a five-card major, the ensuing 4-3 major-suit fit might be worse than a
5-3 or 5-4 diamond fit. But a good South will have a five-card major. East made a pre-emptive jump raise to three clubs, promising five or more clubs and a weak hand. With game-invitational or greater strength, he would have responded with an artificial two no-trump. (When responder has a big balanced hand, he starts with redouble over an opponent’s takeout double.) South cue-bid four clubs to show a strong two-suiter. (With a good one-suiter, he would have jumped in that suit.) Note East’s play of the club queen. When a defender cannot win a trick, he plays top of touching honors (assuming he can afford to
do so, of course). Now West should see four defensive tricks: two clubs, the heart king and a diamond ruff. At trick two, not later, West must shift to his singleton diamond. He then gets in with the heart king, underleads his club king to give East the lead, and receives a diamond ruff.

questions from residents attending council meeting can only be asked after the meeting is over, and before council convenes in an in-camera, or closed, session. Councillors can receive questions at home from constituents. Their personal information is available on the township website. Coun. Todd York, who missed the original meeting when the policy was discussed, voted in support of the policy but doesn’t want to see question period discontinued. “I want to see question period be what it was designed to be, and that’s asking a question pertaining to agenda
information, and like it to be a question,” said York. “I’ve probably been the worst at entertaining people’s inability to form things into a question because I’m interested in what they have to say.” Speaking against the policy was Coun. Christine Fraser, who believes council can control matters if question period gets offtopic. “If somebody is not asking a question, we can shut it down,” said Fraser. “If it’s not on the agenda or it’s not a legitimate question about the township, we can say we’ll defer it to staff or not answer in the moment.”
of 2013’s Bill 8 where farmers enjoyed $120,000 of tax relief. Class 9 is land only and if a resident has Class 9 land and has buildings that are being used on the farm, B.C. Assessment would classify the buildings as Class 1 residential. Prior to Bill 8, if a
resident had farm and out buildings in the operation of Class 9 land, farmers were given an assessment exemption to a maximum of $50,000. Bill 8 removed the flat rate of $50,000, going instead to a rate that was either going to be the greater number
of up to $50,000 or 87.5 per cent of the exemption. Bill 8 cost the township more than $120,000 in farm tax revenue. “We and many farmers have farm buildings with assessment under $50,000 so we were exempt from tax on them for years,” wrote farmer Ronald Bily in a letter to council. “However, now as a result of Spallumcheen trying to recover revenue lost to them by Bill 8, our tax has risen to almost double.” Bily called Spall’s move “unfair taxation.” “It does nothing to help the average farmer in Spallumcheen,” he wrote. Council said earlier this year the township’s agricultural advisory committee recommended the hike as opposed to recovering the revenue through development cost charges. “If Spallumcheen is unable to make up the shortfall by other means, they must make cutbacks in road construction,” said Bily in his letter. “Failing this, farmers may have to rise up and withhold taxes.” The township will be meeting with the Ministry of Agriculture to discuss options for Bill 8.
Farmers upset over taxation roger knox Morning Star Staff
Spallumcheen farmers are digging in against council over a rise in the township’s farm class rate. The township raised the Class 9 rate by more than double in 2014 to 11.179 from 5.1531 to counteract the effects

Are You Taking Care of Your Shoulder Pain? Discover a New Option. Shoulder aches and pains are common, but because our arms seldom get a rest, these aches often become chronic injuries: knots, spasms, frozen shoulder and tendonitis. Many of us learn to live with it and think, “It’s a part of my lifestyle or job”. Many of us have had chronic tendonitis, making it difficult to lift a carton of milk or wash our hair. And many of us have exhausted a variety of therapies.
DR. RYAN HARRIS
Therapy, the only therapy I found to get rid of my pain and heal my injury. Shockwave, developed to break up kidney stones, can break down scar tissue and stimulate new blood vessel growth, promoting proper muscle function and restarting the healing process.
It is in those injuries that have lingered for months or years where shockwave shines. If you have chronic shoulder injuries, don’t give up hope. If I had, I would not be in practice today.
Glenmore Chiropractic
Most therapies have an affect only on new injuries that are days to weeks old. Once scar tissue forms and healing stops (chronic), we are at the mercy of the injury. Over and over in my practice I hear, “I have been dealing with this injury for months or years and tried everything. Nothing has worked… what do I do?”
According to the Journal of the American Medical Association 2005, shockwave therapy had a 91% success rate for the treatment of calcific Rotator Cuff Tendonitis. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.
I tell them about the tennis elbow and shoulder tendonitis I had, both of which nearly caused me to shut down my practice. I talk about the multitude of therapies I tried to no avail. Then I talk about Shockwave

Talks muscled with minister

The battle over invasive mussels is being taken straight to the powers-that-be. Regional District of North Okanagan directors are demanding to discuss quagga and zebra mussels with Mary Polak, B.C.’s environment minister, at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in September. “We need to look at the issue further,” said director Juliette Cunningham. “There hasn’t been a significant or meaningful response to stopping the Cunningham mussels from coming into the province.” The Okanagan Basin Water Board and local jurisdictions have been pressuring the provincial government to bring in inspection stations through self-funded boater-pay sticker programs. And the federal government is being asked to approve pending legislation allowing Canada Border Services agents to stop and inspect boats coming into the country. They are known to stimulate toxic algae blooms, litter beaches with sharp shells, clog boat motors, foul water intakes and outfalls, put fish and the ecology of our lakes at risk, and more.

Dickie defends spending richard rolke Morning Star Staff
A Lake Country politician is defending his use of taxpayers’ money. The district’s 2013 financial information indicates that Coun. Owen Dickie had expenses of $7,327 — higher than any other council member. “I attended three conferences,” said Dickie. Owen Dickie Among them was a Federation of Canadian Municipalities sustainability conference in Ontario. “When we were spending a lot of money on a sustainability plan, it made sense to attend,” he said. As a councillor, Dickie insists it’s important for him to become familiar with key issues and possible solutions. “I hope to bring new ideas back (from conferences) and I believe I have done that. It’s an investment in good governance by councillors,” he said.
“Spending tax dollars doesn’t necessarily mean not spending money. The issue is one of getting value for money. The information I bring back helps guide the community.” Mayor James Baker had expenses of $6,338 in 2013 while there was $4,669 for Coun. Lisa Cameron, $4,498 for Coun. Jamie McEwan, $1,906 for Coun. Rob Geier, $1,068 for Coun. Barb Leamont and $55 for Coun. Penny Gambell. Baker had taxable remuneration of $26,601 and a non-taxable allowance of $13,300, while each councillor had taxable remuneration of $10,426 and a non-taxable allowance of $5,231. “We haven’t heard from councillors that they should get more,” said Baker. “They are doing it for the community.” There were 15 district employees who earned more than $75,000 in 2013. Topping the list was chief administrative officer Alberto De Feo, with remuneration of $151,765 and expenses of $13,406. Stephen Banmen, chief financial officer, had a wage of $140,320 and expenses of $4,444.

Development drives concern richard rolke Morning Star Staff
A developer in Lake Country has been sent back to the drawing board. Council has shot down a staff recommendation to approve development variance permits for a property on Chase Road. “Council is listening to the residents,” said Coun. Lisa Cameron of concerns about allowing the developer to possibly narrow the road and have shorter driveways. “We received a number of letters about traffic impacting their lives. Roads in the area are already small and not big enough to allow two cars to pass.” In one letter, a resident expressed concern
about access to the development. “There is no planned separate entrance to the new development from the main road, Chase Road, meaning all construction and future residential traffic will be through the Sage Glen community and specifically via Crimson, Satin, Celeste and Santina roads,” they wrote. “There are upwards of 50 children living on these four roads. The safety risk posed from the increased traffic from heavy equipment and machinery, construction vehicles and construction workers, followed by the eventual increased residential traffic of the additional units, is immense.” District staff had
urged council to support the developer’s concept. “The proposed pavement width and rightof-way width is consistent with the recent subdivision to the north,” said Paul Wolanski, the district’s planner. “Reducing the front yard setback to 4.5 metres, fronting a garage door, could be supported where vehicles will not overhang sidewalks.” Cameron isn’t sure what council’s denial of the development variance permits means for the future of the project. “The developer will have to make the situation more amenable to residents if they want to bring it back to council,” she said.

LIVE WELL HEALTH TIP:
HYDRATION Drink to Your Health Have you been feeling sleepy, having increased headaches, dizziness, or dry mouth? You could be dehydrated. Our body is made up of 60% water, which allows our system to function optimally. Many bodily functions become unbalanced when dehydration occurs, and, if left unattended, can lead to more serious conditions. Unfortunately, it isn’t always easy to gauge the amount of water needed, especially in small children and the elderly. An easy indicator is the colour and frequency of urine. Clear to light coloured means you are well hydrated, but dark yellow is usually a good indicator that increased water intake is needed. Try these tips to boost your hydration: Decrease Caffeinated and Sugary Beverages Caffeine and sugar both rob the body of hydration. It is estimated that for every 1 cup of caffeinated or sugary beverage consumed, it requires 4 cups of water to replenish what is lost. On a hot day, plain water is still the best choice.

A lack of a final agreement isn’t stopping enforcement of the rules on local waterways. The Regional District of North Okanagan board has instructed staff to enter into discussions with the Conservation Officer Service to provide seasonal boat patrols in the rural areas. “We have a tentative agreement in place and the program will go ahead,” said director Bob Fleming when it was pointed out that negotiations are occurring while boats are already prevalent on lakes and the Shuswap River. The electoral areas budget about $21,000 a year for boat enforcement, and it was decided recently to approach conservation officers to provide the service instead of continuing with

the RCMP. “These are extra patrols because the conservation officers already conduct patrols,” said Fleming. Besides the Shuswap River, patrols will be conducted on Mabel Lake, Sugar Lake and Kalamalka Lake, near Cosens Bay. “All of the directors have forwarded their priority areas (to the officers),” said Fleming.

A Meadows homecoming
Morning Star Staff
Ice cream, letters of reference and a chance to connect with old friends were just a few of the highlights at the recent Intergenerational Day Canada at Coldstream Meadows. On June 1, former students and participants in the Meadows School Project gathered for a day of celebration and it was a chance to share stories, laughter and friendship. Spearheaded by teacher Sharon MacKenzie, the Meadows School Project ran from 2001 to 2008 with students from Kidston elementary school and residents and staff at Coldstream Meadows Retirement Community before rolling into a second phase in Williams Lake and the newest MSP in Kamloops. The project model bring a class of intermediate students into a makeshift classroom at a seniors’ residence for two full months of the school year. The reunion brought together students and seniors, including special guest Marie Firth, who turns 99 this year. Firth wrote 10 children’s books which were published with MSP students as illustrators, and the funds from book sales has created a $500 scholarship that has been given at Kalamalka secondary for the past six years to a student of the project or who is involved in volunteering with older adults. “I have heard from many via e-mail as they are off in new places with their young adult lives and they all spoke so positively of the experience they had during the project,” she said, adding that letters of reference regarding students’ involvement in the project were made available for those who would like to add to their resumés. Alyssa Ward, now 21, said the project has meant a lot to her throughout her school years.

“I was always proud to say that I had been a part of an experience that most children my age had not,” she said. “The project taught me many things in the eight weeks that I was at Coldstream Meadows. “I learned a lot about patience and the importance of slowing down time to enjoy the moment. I was taught a heightened insight into the respect due to my elders and gained much from their understanding of the world. I was happy to be able to listen to the diverse life stories of each person I met as well as share in the story they were still writing at Coldstream Meadows.” Now, 10 years after her participation in the project, Ward has graduated as a Licensed Practical Nurse who works with the elderly, and many other generations, on a daily basis. “I feel that the Coldstream Meadows Project has helped to prepare me for my life-long career,” she said. Now 24, Tia MacLachlan said while she had always cherished her own grandparents, she hadn’t given much thought to them beyond the importance of bridging the gap between seniors and youth. “I remembered thinking how boring it would be to attend school beside a seniors’ community home every day,” she said. “My thoughts changed dramatically in a short period of time, and I soon acknowledged that I was a part of something important. “We changed their notions about us as being reckless and disrespectful kids, and they quickly showed us that they were interesting, witty and kind. Our energy was contagious, and soon the seniors wanted us to be a part of their world. “I learned that intergenerational relationships go beyond grandchildren and grandparents; it’s the everyday kindness
between generations. It can be as easy as taking the time to slow down, smile, and say hello to a senior on the street that you don’t know. Maybe before this project, I would have just walked on quickly by. It’s realizing that every generation has something to offer, and we are doing a disservice to ourselves and others by generalizing entire generations. I’m so proud of what the project has become, and I’m glad that I could have been a part of it.” Meadows School Project is the banner initiative of the i2i Intergenerational Society, founded in Vernon, led by former student participant, president Sam Nolan. The society provides free resources and assistance to those wanting to start or share intergenerational projects. Four years ago it launched June 1 as Intergenerational Day Canada and in 2013, more than 100 cities representing every province and territory proclaimed the day. Now executive director of the i2i Intergenerational Society, MacKenzie said the intergenerational message is being carried throughout British Columbia, across the country and around the world. “There are now three MSPs running in Alberta and B.C., with others in the works for next year,” she said. “The spinoff from this one project in little ‘ol Vernon has led a significant wave of interest in the benefits of intergenerational connection. We can’t forget the wonderful resource that our growing population of older adults can provide, if we only facilitate the connecting to young people,” said MacKenzie. “I am very proud of my students, the seniors and the community that was so supportive of this precedent-setting initiative.” For more information, see www.intergenerational.ca

A few tips for handling crazy busy stress Dr. Shelby entner
Special to The Morning Star
How many times have you caught yourself answering the question “How are things?” with the answer “Busy, crazy busy!” It has become a common answer in our modern world. People are rushing around, trying to squeeze everything on the to-do list into one day and feeling like there is never enough time to get it all done. When we talk about stress, we often consider events like death, divorce, sudden job loss and other significant events as being the most stressful. Physical and emotional stress can be both pleasant or unpleasant, the difference being how the event affects us. Having a baby, running a marathon, starting a new job; all of these events are exciting but can also bring a new level of stress to our lives. Our stress response, also known as “fight or
“There are so many ways we can start to change the way we handle stress in our lives...” — Dr. Shelby Entner flight,” is an ancient biochemical message that is a lifesaving mechanism controlled by our adrenal glands. When we are in an emergency situation (bear chasing us in the woods, swerving in traffic to avoid an accident) our cortisol levels increase, helping the body to survive by increasing our muscle contraction, our heart rate, our breathing, essentially making us ready to deal with the threat. After the threat passes, our body is supposed to return to a normal resting state. The trouble nowadays is that our modern lifestyle is constantly triggering the stress response even when we are not in danger, telling the body that
the bear is around the corner so stay alert! Medical research suggests that up to 90 per cent of all illness and disease is stressrelated. Stress is a driving factor in unhealthy weight gain (especially that “spare tire” weight gain), early aging, heart disease and cancer. Increases in cortisol affect our immune systems, raise our blood sugar, disrupt our sleep cycles and can trigger other hormonal difficulties (menopause, PMS, erectile dysfunction). The early signs of chronically elevated cortisol can be a feeling of being “wired,” anxiety and restlessness. Over time, the
cortisol hormones can’t keep up with the intense demand, and symptoms of being “wired but tired” start to happen. Feel exhausted in the day, but still spend hours trying to fall asleep at night? Guess what comes next? Just plain tired. Can’t get enough sleep, enough coffee, no interest in anything except the couch. Most of the time these patients come to my clinic because there is nothing wrong with their blood tests but they know they aren’t depressed. They are simply exhausted, their adrenals glands have been depleted and they continue to suffer from a variety of common
but debilitating symptoms. To start feeling better, give yourself an unscheduled hour every weekday and do something that makes you feel calm. Take some time and step outside into nature, dip your toes in the lake, climb a hill and take in the view. The reason we live here is for the lifestyle so allow yourself time to enjoy it. Have you recognized yourself in any of these descriptions? There are so many ways we can start to change the way we handle stress in our lives but there are also many natural options to help correct the imbalances that stress has caused in our health. Address your stress issues and start to repair the cortisol imbalances today with lifestyle, nutrition, herbal and natural hormonal support. You can get off the path of exhaustion and burnout with proper medical support and

Just Ask Teresa … Your Cosmetician June 21 is the first day of summer. Are you ready for the sun? Certain medications will put you at risk for getting a bad sunburn. Be sure you are protected! A mineral or physical screen with Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide are recommended for even the most sensitive skins. Sometimes a mineral sunscreen may look a little opaque. If you warm it in your hands first, you can add a drop of your foundation to add a little colour. Try Avene’s 50 SPF mineral sunscreen. It has a beautiful sheer tint which makes the skin look good and gives protection. It is available in two colours: Beige and Honey and comes in a handy compact. No mixing needed! Another good reason to use a good sunscreen is Hyper Pigmentation or dark spots. The sun will make it worse if you do not use protection. All those special products you may be using to lighten discoloration will be for nothing! Have a great summer and protect your skin!

Journey takes guitarist full circle
Rick Hansen’s righthand man, Don Alder gets a new set of wheels in motion as a world champion fingerstyle guitarist Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Don Alder’s life has taken many twists and turns down life’s highway. He’s gone from tuning strings to greasing wheels and back again, and is now making his name as one of the world’s most celebrated fingerstyle guitarists. The man who has been described as the Jimi Hendrix of acoustic guitar, Alder is probably best known as being the right-hand man to his childhood friend and fellow Williams Lake native, wheelchair and spinal chord research champion Rick Hansen. These days, Alder describes himself simply as a guitarist, composer and musician. However, his story is as fascinating as the arsenal of acoustic guitars he plays, some of which he’ll demonstrate when he gives the second concert organized by the newly formed Vernon Folk-Roots Music Society, Saturday at the Vernon Army Navy Air Force Club. Alder was the guy who literally greased Hansen’s wheelchair wheels on the 40,000kilometre Man in Motion World Tour from 1985 to 1987, and has since worked with the Rick Hansen Foundation. “I’ve been playing guitar since I was a kid but I didn’t get really serious about it until after the Rick Hansen tour ended in ‘87,” said Alder, who first picked up the instrument after he contracted yellow jaundice when he fell off a hand-built raft into a creek, and swallowed water. “My mom got me a guitar while I was recovering. I really wanted a drum kit, but she won that war,” he laughed. As a teen, Alder started playing in rock bands, and remembers the one time he and his Black Sabbath loving bandmates got the brilliant idea to load 12 gauge shotguns with graffiti as part of their act. “I had flames coming out of mine. The gunpowder had ignited and a wad of flames flew out. It lifted a guitar and flew off into the drum stool,” he said. “That’s how we were as kids. It was ‘you can beat me up, but don’t beat up my bicycle,’ so to speak.” That band ended up breaking up, and

Don alder performs on his harp guitar, part of the arsenal of instruments he is bringing for his performance with the Vernon Folk-roots music society. the concert takes place saturday, June 28 at the army navy air Force Club. it was around then Alder decided to pursue a solo acoustic career in the same vein as Bruce Cockburn, moving to Kaleden in the Okanagan, where he built a recording studio. Alder was focusing on his music when his best friend Hansen called him up. The two had already been through so much together. In 1973, Alder was with Hansen when a pickup truck the two were hitching a ride home in lost control, rolled over and threw both men from the vehicle. While Alder walked away, Hansen ended up with a severed spine. Years later, while training as a wheelchair athlete for the Boston Marathon, Hansen ended up back in hospital, this time with a dislocated shoulder. “He called me up and said he wanted to tell me something,” remembered Alder, who went to Hansen’s bedside. “He said he wanted to go around the world in a wheelchair. I told the nurse, ‘can you get me a straitjacket?’” After a while, Alder changed his mind about that request. “As a kid he was always supportive of me, so I decided to support him.” The men set off on their epic journey in March, 1985, with Alder often biking or running along for six-to-eight miles to catch up with Hansen. He also left his guitar behind as his hands were literally up to his elbows in grease, as he was in charge of Hansen’s wheel-
chair maintenance. That was until the Man in Motion tour stopped at a McDonald’s restaurant in Nova Scotia. “We had met George Cohon (the founder and senior chairman of McDonald’s of Canada) and he asked me what I did. It turned out his son played the sax,” recalled Alder. “In Nova Scotia, we stopped at the franchise and the manager there said he had something for me... He gave me a Hondo guitar, saying ‘George said he wanted you to have this.’” Alder admits he experienced a bit of an anti-climactic low when the Man in Motion tour ended in May of 1987. “I had no contacts and went back to Vancouver to live in a small apartment. I ended up getting myself a cheap guitar and the music came out. I was writing bits and pieces, or noodling as they say, when all of a sudden it came together.” Alder started writing and did the music for a series of documentaries on the Man in Motion tour for Shaw Cable. He also became one of the country’s most respected wheelchair sport experts using the skills he learned on the tour to help others, as well as serving as equipment manager for 16 years with the Rick Hansen Foundation and as a consultant with the Canadian National Paralympic team at both the Atlanta and Sydney Paralympic Games.
30th Annual
“It did get me out of music for a while... I was with Rick at a presentation when he said, ‘a lot of us do not pursue our dreams because we are afraid of failure and failure is just not having the courage to try.’ It was a Pollyanna (principle) moment for me,” said Alder, who with those words decided to enter his first guitar competition, the International Fingerstyle Championships in Winfield, Kansas. “I got my butt kicked twice, and the third time I had a problem with my nails; the glue I used on them had lifted them off the nail bed. I cut them down and played cautiously and ended up coming in second.” Alder used that experience as a learning tool: to slow down and work on training his ear and touch to bring out the tonal colours of the instrument. It worked, and he ended up winning the competition the following year. Upon opening this new chapter in his life, Alder would go on to be named Guitar Player Magazine’s 2010 Guitar Superstar Champion and the 2011 Worldwide Guitar Idol winner, and has since taken his music, and guitars, around the world. “When I won these things, I did not get much mainstream media attention, but it did get me into a few industry magazines,” said the Yamaha endorsed artist who has not only been featured in Guitar Player Magazine, but just about every other known guitar publication. “The profile I’ve had has been amazing. You can build a ground base of fans with niche music, but it is difficult... When you say you play fingerstyle guitar, people think it’s guitaronly music and they associate it with classical, which has had an elite audience. The music I play is for all of us, though. It’s not a circus act. I’m not jumping up and spinning in the air while playing, but I believe there are a lot of new guys packing houses with this kind of acoustic music. They are getting the genre out there in people’s faces.” Fresh from being hand-picked to play Space Oddity with acclaimed Canadian astronaut/ musician Chris Hadfield in Hawaii, Vernon area audiences will see and hear Alder apply his fast moving fingers (said to be like four bands in one hand) to his harp guitar, which includes a sub-head with six bass strings, a banjitar (half-guitar, half-banjo), as well as a fan fret, baritone and standard guitar. Doors to Saturday’s show at the ANAF Club, 2500 46th Ave., open at 7:15 p.m. with opening act The Creeks taking the stage at 8 p.m. and Alder at 8:45 p.m. Tickets are $20 at the door or in advance at the Bean Scene Coffee House, the ANAF Club or email the Vernon Folk-Roots Music Society at vfrmstickets@gmail.com.

Every summer, Enderby’s Runaway Moon Theatre hosts an art camp where children and youth around the ages of eight to 15 have fun making things, creating stories and performing. “All activities focus on a theme that both allows

Campers will make a puppet, and some of the special things needed for the upcoming community play, Tuwitames, as well as treasures to take home,” said Stubington, adding, “The week will conclude with a simple presentation based on the true and imagined lives of the woods.” The camp runs from July 2 to 5 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Splatsin Tsm7aksaltn Childcare and Language Centre in Enderby.

The Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre Society and the Vernon Public Art Gallery are presenting the second of three films showcasing the works of great artists. Munch 150 showcases the exhibition of the same name that was co-hosted in 2013 by the Oslo’s National Museum and the Munch Museum to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Edvard Munch’s birth. The film, which screens Saturday, July 5 at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, also reveals exclusive behind-thescene moments of the exhibition’s preparation, which normally go unseen by the public. Hailed as a “once in a lifetime show,” the exhibition achieved global interest when one of Munch’s four The Scream paintings recently set a public art auction record, selling for $120 million. “Many know Munch as the man who painted The Scream, but his complete works are remarkable in their own right,” reads a press release from the Performing Arts Centre. “With 220 paintings on display, the exhibition brought together the greatest number of Munch’s key works in one place, celebrating the works of one of the greatest artists to have ever lived.” Scenes from the exhibition are interwoven with an in-depth biography of Munch’s life from the mid-19th century to the German occupation of Norway in the Second World War. Host Tim Marlow and special guests delve into the works of one of the towering figures of modern art.

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist TOM NOLAN
Flossing your teeth is an important part of good oral hygiene. If you haven’t flossed in the past 24 hours, chances are you are putting your dental health at unnecessary risk. Here’s a good suggestion. Keep a package of floss next to your TV-watching chair. Then you can watch and floss at the same time. Poor-fitting shoes can play havoc with your feet. Bunions are caused by shoes that are too tight. Women suffer the majority of foot problems that also include hammertoes and neuromas (thickened, painful nerves in the forefoot, making walking difficult). The solution? Wider shoes. Not as fashionable but your feet with thank you. In summer, the sun’s rays are stronger and certain medications can interact with sunlight to cause rashes. When we fill a prescription for you, we check the other drugs you are taking and if any of them may cause this sun/drug interaction, we’ll let you know. Most women will take medications at some point during their pregnancy. Safety of the drug to the fetus is of paramount importance. Our pharmacists are familiar with the safety of medications in pregnancy. If you’re pregnant, before you take a medication, talk about it. There are safe medications for use in pregnancy and we can help you choose.

Film an allegory on forgiveness The Railway Man
E
ric Lomax (Colin Firth) is a British Second World War veteran, who spends much of his time with fellow survivors of a Japanese work camp obsessing over his lifelong hobby, trains. While travelling the rails in England during the 1980s, Lomax meets a lovely divorcee Patti (Nicole Kidman) and the two quickly fall in love. When Lomax begins exhibiting posttraumatic stress disorder, yet doesn’t want to talk about it, his new bride asks her husband’s best friend and former prisoner of war, Finlay (Stellan Skarsgard), for help. Finlay reluctantly explains what happened to Lomax at the Japanese work camp and then offers her what could prove to be the most dangerous cure possible: The opportunity to confront the man

who tortured Lomax. We say, “It’s a moving film about the power of forgiveness.” TAYLOR: This film snuck up on me. I was
on vacation last week and missed the notice that it was playing at the Towne. Luckily, my friend Ryan Nitchie sent me a text saying, “See this film.” I’ve asked him to review it with me, which is especially apropos as he recently returned with his family from a trip to where the film was made. NITCHIE: I stood in the cut at Hellfire Pass a little over a month ago where the final scene
was shot. Through my headset I listened to the voices of Australian POWs tell their tales of hardship, starvation, torture, illness, insects and camaraderie often with a sense of humour, but with a painful undertone. Seeing Lomax’ character brilliantly portrayed by Firth brought to life an unimaginable experience. TAYLOR: Going in blind, I knew abso-

lutely nothing about the story, which is, in my opinion, the best way to see a film. So at first I thought this was going to be a cute story about an elderly couple who likes trains. Within 30 minutes, I knew something deeper and darker was afoot. Within an hour, I became concerned that the film was going into unbelievable territory, (I didn’t know it was a true story.) However, by the end, I was convinced I had just witnessed an amazing story and the fact that it is true actually restored a bit of my waning faith in human worth. NITCHIE: Firth’s portrayal of Lomax is brilliant and Kidman’s portrayal of Patti must have had a deeply emotional patriotic sentiment for her. The research completed at the Jeath and Death museums in Kanchanaburi pay off as the POW scenes along the Kwai River are historically accurate. The story is powerful as one can see how anger, resentment, hatred and pain could drive someone mad, but Lomax chooses to take the ultimate high road and instead he affects revenge in the most powerfully humane way, kindness and forgiveness. – Taylor gives The Railway Man 4 aces out of 5. – Nitchie gives it 4.5 mosquito bites out of 5. The film is currently playing at the Vernon Towne Cinema.

Born just before midnight on February 29th, 1920 (her birth cerƟĮcate read March 1st), passed away peacefully on June 11th, 2014 at Hospice House with members of her family at her side. Mom grew up in West Vancouver. She married a West Van boy, Nicholas (Obbie) Williamson in 1936. During their 58 years of marriage, they raised Įve children and lived in West Vancouver, Victoria, Bella Bella, New Westminster and CoƋuitlam before seƩling in Vernon in 1972. While living in Victoria, as the children got older, Mom decided she should help Dad by bringing in a liƩle extra income for buying the kids Christmas presents. She promptly went out and got a job at Birks selling jewellery. She loved that job and made some lifelong friends while she was there. Several years later when living in Coquitlam, she took on a new challenge and began working as a psychiatric aide at Woodlands School and later at Alderlodge. When Dad’s job took them to Vernon, she conƟnued working as an aide at Dellview Hospital where she remained unƟl her reƟrement in 1980. When Mom reƟred, she did not sit idle but conƟnued to assist others by volunteering with diīerent organizaƟons. She became a tutor; teaching illiterate adults how to read, took on the role of server at the monthly Schubert Centre Pancake Breakfast and volunteered one morning a week at the Vernon Courthouse with the John Howard Society; a duty she conƟnued well into her eighƟes. Mom also spent her Ɵme enjoying various acƟviƟes such as learning Tai Chi, being a member of the BC Government ReƟred Employees AssociaƟon, Schubert Centre and the North Okanagan Community Concerts AssociaƟon; regularly aƩending their concerts. She travelled widely including trips to Europe, New ealand, California, and the MariƟmes. Mom is survived by four of her children: sons, Paul Williamson (Katherine) of Pender Island, Neil Williamson (Sylvia) of Ladner, daughters, Nikki Springford of Maple Ridge, and Michele Lypchuk (Glenn) of Armstrong; grandchildren: Kirk Eastman, Kyndree Eastman, Laura Williamson, Leah Williamson, ScoƩ Lypchuk (Dawn), Alyson Lypchuk, Leslie Williamson, CharloƩe zoung, Peter zoung, and her precious great-grandsons: Max Eastman, Ben McCormick, Liam Dennis Williamson, Linden Lypchuk, and Liam Lypchuk. She is also survived by her brother Evan MacDougall of Hope; stepsisters, Evelyn Pallant of Sechelt and Aileen Devereux of Port Alberni; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and her very special extended family, the Lypchuks and the Hockens. Mom was predeceased by our Dad, Nick Williamson; our brother, Peter Williamson; her brother, Lloyd McDougall; and step-brothers, Roland, Jerry, and Merrill Meuse. The family wishes to thank Dr. Gavin Smart, Dr. Langer, Dr. MarƟn, and the wonderful nurses in ICU as well as the amazing staī at Hospice House for the kind, thoughƞul care given to Mom in her Įnal days. Mom’s priority was always her family. She was a loving, smart, sharp-wiƩed, someƟmes cheeky woman who always spoke her mind. She embraced life; life embraced her. There is a big hole in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. In keeping with Mom’s wishes, there will not be a funeral service. The family invites you to join them at a gathering to share stories and celebrate the life of CharloƩe at Schubert Centre on Sunday, June 29th, 2014 from 1:30-3:30 p.m. In lieu of Ňowers, those wishing to do so may make donaƟons in Mom’s memory to the North Okanagan Hospice Society, 3506 27th Ave. Vernon, BC V1T 1S4 or to the SalvaƟon Army-House of Hope Food Bank, 3303 32nd Ave. Vernon BC V1T 2M7.

C HECK I T O UT AT B OOKLAND THE SILKWORM Private investigator Cormoran Strike returns in a new mystery from Robert Galbraith a pseudonym for J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series and #1 international bestseller The Cuckoo’s Calling. When novelist Owen Quine goes missing, his wife calls in private detective Cormoran Strike. At first, Mrs. Quine just thinks her husband has gone off by himself for a few days — as he has done before — and she wants Strike to find him and bring him home.
Morning Star Staff
There’s a change to the summer hours for the Falkland branch of Okanagan Regional Library. “Due to increased temperatures inside the Falkland branch building during the summer months the open hours of the library will be changed temporarily,” said Michele Rule, ORL communications manager. The new hours will run from July 5 to Sept. 5 and they will be Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Falkland branch of ORL is located at 5771 Highway 97. For more information call the branch at 250-3792705 or visit www.orl. bc.ca.
But as Strike investigates, it becomes clear that there is more to Quine’s disappearance than his wife realizes. The novelist has just completed a manuscript featuring poisonous pen-portraits of almost everyone he knows. If the novel were to be published, it would ruin lives — meaning that there are a lot of people who might want him silenced.
