A Vernon man is safe and sound after a Newfoundland plane crash. On Thursday, officers with the Burin Peninsula RCMP responded to a report of an aircraft crashing into Garnish Pond, Nfld., 326 kilometres southwest of St. John’s. “Upon arrival, police learned the aircraft was a float plane,” said Sgt. Howard Gale, with the Marystown, RCMP. The two occupants of the plane, a 61-year-old man from Vernon and a 64-yearold man from Garnish, Nfld., were rescued by a cabin owner in the area who used a boat to bring them to shore. Neither of the two men were injured. “The incident is being investigated by the Transportation Safety Board,” said Gale.
Bands re-examine rights following case RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A Supreme Court of Canada ruling on aboriginal title could reignite local First Nations’ defence of their rights. The Okanagan and Splatsin bands may reopen the Jules/ Wilson logging case after the Supreme Court ruled Thursday the Tsilhqot’in Nation in the Chilcotin has Wayne Christian title to its traditional lands. “We’re sitting down with legal counsel to look at the decision and see how we proceed,” said Wayne Christian, Splatsin First
Nation chief. In 1999, the Okanagan and Shuswap nations issued permits to their bands to harvest timber to provide housing for their members. The provincial government challenged the permits and legal action ensued for several years. The issue arose again in 2009 when the Okanagan Indian Band established a camp at Browns Creek, off Westside Road, to gather archeological evidence and stop commercial logging. A judge ruled the band couldn’t interfere with logging but the camp was re-established because of concerns logging may negatively impact the community’s watershed. In 2011, a B.C. Supreme Court ruling allowed the Okanagan band to proceed with legal action and to openly question the
provincial government’s decision-making authority on forested land when there has been no formal treaty signed with First Nations. Byron Louis, Okanagan band chief, hopes Thursday’s Supreme Court ruling on the Tsilhqot’in will move the local process along. “Much of our land was never lawfully surrendered, let alone lawfully taken,” he said. “Without resolution, this issue will not simply go away. Now is the time to solve it, not in 10 generations.” Christian also wants to see a conclusion. “We have always said, ‘How do we coexist and work with government?’” he said. Louis isn’t sure when his band will decide to proceed with the Jules/Wilson case again.

“It (Supreme Court) is a large decision and complicated so it will take time to look at it,” he said, adding that there must be a way to reconcile economic activities with protecting water and cultural values. “It’s not our goal to stop economic development. We just want it done more responsibly.” Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, is reviewing the Supreme Court’s Tsilhqot’in ruling. “It’s early on to make a comment about implications as everyone is looking at it,” he said. “But it changes the way government and business will do business with First Nations. On the positive side, all negotiations will be based on this case so everyone knows the rules of the game before they go in. It will make it easier for everyone.”

oms were crying as they sent their children off to get suited up in the royal blue and white gowns at the Performing Arts Centre Thursday afternoon. A pair of W.L. Seaton grads will miss the time spent in Seaton’s halls, but are looking forward to a busy summer in the post-high school era. “I am going to miss the diversity and good times. You always had a friend at Seaton,” said Antonya Crosby. Crosby will represent the city of Vernon as a B.C. Ambassador Program candidate this summer. Her duties will include volunteering in communities and being actively involved in Vernon as they promote education, motivation and self-esteem. Crosby was encouraged to be actively involved in the community from her days as Princess Silver Star in 2013. “I had to travel lots back then, make new friends and volunteer in the community. I decided that I wanted to take it to the next level in B.C.,” said Crosby. She hopes to be one of the three new B.C. ambassadors proclaimed August 16. It was finally Russell Day’s turn for graduation and he was having a blast. “I went to my brother’s grad a few years ago and that was cool. It’s a little different when you are the one walking across the stage,” said Day. As for life after Seaton, Day isn’t quite sure yet, unless something pops up via the golf course. “I’m just going to work at Vernon Golf and Country

Nicol remembered richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Canada’s national holiday will provide Vernonites with a chance to celebrate the life of Mr. Canada Day. A memorial in Patrick Nicol’s honour will be unveiled at about 1 p.m. Tuesday in Polson Park. “It’s modest but meaningful,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham. Nicol, who died in January, was a city councillor for 22 years and organized the community’s Canada Day festivities for decades. The memorial will consist of seating and a plaque on a large rock. It will be located near the checker board area by the bandshell. “People meant a lot to him and people can gather around it,” said Cunningham, adding that the location was an obvious choice for the permanent memorial. “He loved Polson Park.

Councils welcome marijuana taxation policy richard rolke Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan communities could harvest tax revenue from medical marijuana facilities. The provincial government is excluding federally licensed medical marijuana production from the list of agricultural uses that qualify for farm classification for assessment and property tax purposes. “It’s about time,” said Kevin Acton, Lumby mayor, who had been concerned that the possibility of a medical
marijuana facility on agricultural or industrial zoned land would pay the lower farm rate and not help cover the cost of municipal services. “It’s not an agricultural crop and it’s not something we’re producing for food.” The provincial policy is also welcome news in Spallumcheen. “We did not want the possibility for facilities to be on industrial land and taxed at the farm rate or be on agricultural land and taxed at the farm rate,” said Greg Betts, the town-
“It’s not an agricultural crop.”
— Kevin Acton ship’s chief administrative officer. One medical marijuana facility has been approved by the federal government in Spallumcheen, and Betts insists such operations will place pressure on municipal services. “There’s fire and police,” he said, adding
that tax revenue from such a facility will ease the burden on the rest of taxpayers. “The expectation of people for services is going up and the desire to pay for them is going down.” For Lumby, the possibility of a medical marijuana facility could
be substantial as there is little industrial activity and most of the tax base is residential. “It could make a big difference if we get a few facilities we can tax,” said Acton. There are currently five facilities in B.C. licensed by the federal government. “B.C.’s position (on taxation) takes into consideration the nature of the highly regulated and secure facilities and is consistent with the approach being taken in neighbouring Alberta,” states a release from the

Patti Ferguson knows she left the city in good, capable hands. The 15-year chief administrative officer for the City of Armstrong retired at the end of February but not before giving her account of her final year in the city’s 2013 annual report. “The team that is Armstrong city council and staff strive to ensure that works and services are provided in a fiscally responsible, Patti Ferguson timely way, while giving planning for the future equal consideration,” wrote Ferguson, who was succeeded by former deputy corporate officer Melinda Stickney. “I leave full of gratitude to have worked with amazing staffs and councils, and knowing that the work will continue in the hands of dedicated and caring folks that you can approach at any time...” Among the highlights of municipality’s annual reports are the figures on remuneration and expense. Ferguson and Stickney topped the list in 2013. Ferguson made $124,705 including $118,851 in remuneration and she claimed $5,854 in expenses alluding to conferences, travel and accommoda-
tion. Stickney also topped six figures as her $9,796 in expenses, along with remuneration of $96,656 put her at $106,452. Chief financial officer Terry Martens ($95,897 including $5,043 in expenses) and water/wastewater operator Kerry Fox ($80,608 including $2,745 expenses) are the other city employees to make more than $75,000 and so are included in the report as is mandatory. Mayor Chris Pieper made $22,002 and claimed $405 in expenses for a total of $22,407. All councillors were paid $12,820 with the exception of John Trainor, who was paid $12,224. Ryan Nitchie had the highest expenses claim at $5,424. Councillors Ron (Sully) O’Sullivan and Paul Britton claimed no expenses last year. In total, the city paid out $869,216 to all staff and $113,136 to council in 2013. Among the highlights last year was the city celebrating its 100th birthday. “Our centennial year was a fantastic success,” said Pieper. “More than 150 events involved centennial themes recognizing our history and heritage.” The annual report outlines expenses, staff remuneration and the city’s objectives for the next couple of years. It also contains audited financial statements for the year. The report can be found at www.cityofarmstrong.bc.ca.

Canada Day festivities abound Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
A sea of red and white will fill local streets, parks and skies as the North Okanagan shows its true colours Tuesday. In celebration of Canada’s 147th birthday, a full day of activities are planned culminating with two new events and topped off with a spectacular fireworks display. The skies will be lit up over the DND grounds by local firefighters at 10:30 p.m., sponsored by Lake City Casino, with its new restaurant Match Eatery and Public House. “There will be excellent viewing from almost anywhere on the DND grounds, Mission Road or other parts of the city,” said Terry Schmauder with the Vernon Canada Day fireworks committee. You can also tune into 107.5 Kiss FM for the musical simulcast. “It’s the biggest, most ambitious choreographed show we have ever attempted in Vernon using the largest fireworks effects we have ever used.” The show in the sky takes place during a break in one of the new events – a giant inflatable screen showing an outdoor movie by Pixar Animation, presented by Sutton Group Lakefront Realty.

Mather unveils Ranch Tales richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Ken Mather has rounded up some favourite stories. The Spallumcheen historian has compiled 60 of his columns from The Morning Star and compiled them in a new book, Ranch Tales: Stories from the B.C. Frontier. “Our heritage is really rich. I think it will fill a need,” he said, adding that the goal of the stories is to keep people entertained. They’re about 500 words long so each one is a good read.” Mather first started writing columns for The Morning Star in 2007, and the public response has been overwhelming. “People stop me in the street and say how much they like the columns,” he said. He hopes that will translate into an interest for the book, his fourth but his first selfpublished. One thousand copies have been printed. “It’s a gamble because they could sit in a box

the tale of Jim Madden, a ranch hand in the Nicola. One story revolves around Madden inviting a guest to stay for dinner. “The visitor felt somewhat dismayed when he spotted a long black tail, which bore a suspicious resemblance to that of a muskrat, protruding from the pot. Sure enough when lunchtime arrived, the Big Kid pulled from the pot, a muskrat, complete with hide, guts, feet and eyes,” wrote Mather. “Then, before the visitor’s astonished eyes, he stripped the skin off and placed the cooked carcass on a plate. Carefully spooning out wheat that had been boiled in the same pot, he dug in with relish.” For Mather, The Big Kid has the right mix of both history of humour. “He was a real character,” said Mather. Mather continues to write a column for The Morning Star. “I have a lot of material yet — good stories,” he said.

Waving the flag
appy Canada Day weekend, sort of, to one and all. Sometimes we’re accused of not being overly patriotic, but it’s more like we just like to pick our spots. And usually those spots involve sports. Throw a little black rubber disc on ice and our patriotic juices get flowing. We’re golden, and No. 1, and on top of the world when it comes to men’s and women’s hockey and that’s good enough for most of us Canucks to feel good about ourselves. Of course we’re not talking about world juniors or world championships when it comes to hockey right now but everyone knows we’re No. 1 anyway and that’s that. Just ask Don Cherry if you want to hear more about it. It would be nice if a Canadian-based team won a Stanley Cup one Glenn Mitchell of these days but hope springs eternal, especially on NHL draft weekend, where we know the bulk of the players will be good old Canadian kids. However, lately we’ve started to expand our patriotic vision beyond the ice. Like to the hardwood. On Thursday three Canadians, including the first pick overall for the second year in a row, were chosen in the first round of the National Basketball Association draft. Andrew Wiggins is also now the third Canuck on the Cleveland Cavaliers and the home of the rock n’ roll hall of fame may compete with the Toronto Raptors for support north of the American border. This should also translate into success down the road internationally for Canada, not to mention spark more interest and even more kids taking up the sport knowing the dream of NBA stardom can be a reality – which of course leads to even more success internationally. Superstar and two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash led the charge but soon he won’t be the only Canadian basketball player the average fan can name.

And then there’s tennis. Eugenie Bouchard and Milos Raonic both enjoyed breakthrough success at the French Open in Paris recently, one of four majors on the pro circuit, and now they are both in the spotlight at Wimbledon in London, England. Success breeds pressure but it also creates confidence and many more supporters as a nation cheers them on and takes pride in their achievements and feels good about their bright future. Of course we will also continue to cheer for Vernon’s Vasek Pospisil as he continues his quest to be one of the best in the world on the tennis court. In baseball there’s the Blue Jays to cheer for and Canucks of note both past and present, including the Jay’s Brett Lawrie. Larry Walker and Justin Morneau both claimed MVP titles in the past and I always remember as a kid cheering on Terry Puhl as he played in the playoffs for the Houston Astros back in the day. Of course the World Cup is ruling the airwaves right now and Canada is, well, nowhere to be seen. This is frustrating for many but I have some faith that the number of soccer-playing youngsters taking to the fields these days will eventually pay off on the international scene. Besides our women’s team is doing just fine thank you very much and will soon step into the spotlight on our very own soil. Go, Canada, go. Of course there’s much more to this great country of ours than sports but it’s a venue that tends to get the emotions flowing. Just ask anyone following their country’s team in the World Cup right about now. So enjoy the long weekend, if it works out that way for you, or enjoy Tuesday and take some time to wave the flag, whatever that means for you. For all its flaws, that we tend to point out on a regular basis, it’s all ours and we are truly blessed to live in such a beautiful and prosperous country. Everyone now, O Canada.....
Two weights, two measures. Whichever is more convenient. At least that is how it seems Prime Minister Stephen Harper deals with science, scientists and their advice. What other explanation can there be for Harper saying, in a CBC interview, in reference to parents who for various reasons do not allow their children to receive immunization shots, “it’s a tragedy when people start to go off on their own theories and not listen to scientific evidence.” Let’s take a pause to let that bit of irony sink in. Harper has consistently worked to eliminate or, at minimum, impede the development of scientific research, eliminate the objectivity of science from any debate by muzzling scientists, cutting budgets and just plain ignoring their findings and advice. Facts can be problematic, a nuisance, a hinderance, especially when he has an agenda and the only thing between Harper and the realization of his agenda is science. Unless of course the facts support his agenda. Knowledge of our environment, and the deplorable condition it is in, is particularly troubling for Harper’s agenda. So gone is most of the funding for Environment Canada, Fisheries and Oceans, as well as for the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory, and the Experimental Lakes Area. If we don’t know how mismanaged and mistreated the environment is, then we won’t have to lie awake worrying. Thanks, Stephen. — Penticton Western News

Road safety changes applauded
e have a very unique opportunity to make a difference for all of us who live on or near 25th Street in Vernon. The city is proposing a traffic calming strategy, which may include sidewalks, bike paths and right-hand entry on 32nd, 39th and 43rd avenues. You are most likely aware of this suggested strategy, but what you may not know is that our time to make our voices heard is rapidly shrinking. The city requires that at least 66 per cent of the people voting on this corridor be in favour of the suggested trafficcalming plan. If you live on 25th Street, you are most likely aware of how many people use this corridor to walk, wheel or ride their bike to access the schools, parks, churches, daycares, senior facilities and group homes. gone fishing I live above Old Kamloops Road overlooking Swan Lake. What a wonderful gift it is to be able to take in all that happens on the lake year round. Everything from the hot air balloons during Vernon Winter Carnival to ice fishermen, skaters, cars and motorcycles, etc. As well as all of the flora and fauna. And of course, from spring until fall we can enjoy watching the rowing skulls and the dragon boats. The purpose of this letter is in wonder of the one (not the only) fisherman who is out every day rain or shine at about 8 or 8:30 a.m. and is always there for at least a couple of hours. Could be the whole day but as I don't watch all day, who knows? Now that's someone who really enjoys fishing and the serenity of the surroundings. I have just always wondered what his or her story is? s. Carson Credibility gap Lest we forget, it was only last August 30 when a self-adulating column ran in this paper under the heading, "Guidelines exist for foreign workers" and boldly asserted, "The program has always been closely monitored and very few abuses have been found."

We also note the same politician who wrote those words recently announced he will not run for re-election as MP in 2015, preferring to cash in his government pension chips rather

Jerry reitman the royal we “We” recently attained the age of 90 and so feel entitled to a brief comment. However, as Queen Victoria is reported to have said, “we are not amused” – not always. Sometimes indeed, like Queen Elizabeth the first, “We do thinke foule scorn.” “We” note that most seniors, whatever their mental state, are often assumed to be senile? They are expected to smile brightly through their arthritis and rattling kidney stones or other ailments while their misguided juniors assume a special little baby voice and utter such ungrammatical inanities as, “How are we this evening, sweetie?” This is quite common among those serving the public. I counsel all seniors when addressed this way to answer firmly but politely, “Us is good thank you, and how is they?” This can be quite effective. Meanwhile for those culprits who like to address their seniors as “we," let me say to them: “We will probably be there too one day, won’t we sweeties?” James seaton line painting A great letter from Ritchie Leslie regarding line painting on our highways and in our city as well I should add.

While I don't pretend to know anything about the economics of line painting, here's what I do know. Orillia, Ont., the town I grew up in, required any paint supplier who wanted the city's business to provide a can of paint for test purposes. The city painted a foot-wide stripe across the main highway from each can of paint. I remember seeing as many as 10 stripes in the 100-foot test area. Now we had long winters and lots of studded tires and after the one-year test period, some stripes were barely visible. The paint that stood up the best was the paint the city used period. will rogers quality Care While waiting for a coffee, I overheard a very disturbing conversation. A group of people were talking about people that live in a care facility. It was disgusting to listen to them make fun of residents and laugh at their disabilities. One particular person went as far as to say, "That isn't living, that is not a life." So hurtful. These are people, they deserve respect.

Voting in favour of this plan will bring us one step closer to the realization of this project, but will not guarantee it.

Lumby RCMP executed two search warrants for drugs in the 2000 block of Mountainview Avenue on the evening of June 23. One of the homes was the subject of a previous drug search in 2011. “The entire basement was again devoted to growing marijuana and some 250 mature plants were seized,” said Lumby RCMP Cpl. Henry Proce. The man and woman residing in the house were arrested Henry Proce and are facing charges. Police are also investigating the possibility that water from the village was allegedly being stolen at the home. The Ministry of Children and Family Development was called as a child was living in the home. Some 28 marijuana plants were seized in the
second residence. Both homes have been posted under the village’s bylaw as uninhabitable and will need to be brought back up to the building code prior to being re-occupied. n Over the past few weeks, Lumby RCMP have seen a number of ATVs stolen in the area. The latest was on June 8 when two new Polaris Razors were stolen out of a garage on Birch Road. Proce said the thefts are “organized and wellplanned,” and that a team of thieves appear to be involved. “They appear to case the homes carefully during the day and commit the thefts (usually at night) shortly thereafter,” he said. “Owners of ATVs should be especially vigilant and ensure their machines are out of sight and securely locked. “This information is the same for owners in both rural and urban areas of Lumby.” Anybody with any information on the thefts is asked to call the Lumby RCMP at 250-547-2151, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Sister city tour planned to California Morning Star Staff
It’s time for Vernon residents to reunite with their sister city. Planning continues for a tour to Modesto, Calif. to celebrate the John Topping 33rd anniversary of the relationship between the two communities. “The 16-day tour will likely
surpass anything that has gone before,” said John Topping, organizer. It’s expected about 50 people will take part in the trip, which will see participants leave Vernon on a Sun Fun coach May 7. They will visit Reno, Nevada before arriving in Modesto. Once there, the group will spend three days sightseeing and be special guests at a civic reception hosted by the City of Modesto. The trip also includes a day in Santa Barbara before boarding
an Amtrak train for a six-hour coastal excursion to San Diego. Highlights will include the San Diego Zoo and the aircraft carrier USS Midway. For the return journey, the group will take the Royal Caribbean cruise liner Jewel of the Seas on a six-night cruise to Vancouver with stops at Catalina Island, San Francisco and Seattle. “The coach is filling up quickly and anyone interested in going or seeking more detailed information should call 250-5451287,” said Topping.

The years in review 1984. An idea blooms for Barb Schimpl
2004. Staff 2001. Hospice House Opens
“Hospice has touched the lives of many.” Hospice Society is celebrating its 30th Anniversary in the North Okanagan. This milestone gives rise to reflection on what Hospice’s presence for the past 30 years has meant for the community.
1984….
Hospice has become a well respected, community focused place where those at an end of life stage experience comfort in a home like setting, given support and respect through their journey.
“He told me to slow down but I was eager.” said Barb. After attending a workshop in Kelowna about Hospice, Barb initiated the start up of a ‘Friends of Hospice’ group. They researched all they could about Hospice, looking to Dr. Balfour Mount as an example, a doctor who began a Hospice in Montreal and who had trained under Cecily Saunders (played an integral role in the birth of Hospice) in London, England.
-- Gladys Fraser, past board member
Thirty years ago, the idea of Hospice in Vernon was born in the mind of Barb Schimpl. “As a young nurse I was afraid of dying patients.” she said. “After my sister died in 1979 I became interested in (the idea of ) ‘dying’ and how I had treated my patients.”
percent, fifteen percent of those dying at home did so at a great physical, emotional and spiritual cost.
Barb found a book The Hospice Movement and devoured it. She then told a friend, a social worker at the hospital, that she wanted to start a Hospice.
When it came down to the decision to build in 1998, it took much courage on the boards’ part to cast their vote in favour of the project. As described by Barb and Andrea, after an emotional speech by two volunteers at the meeting, the deciding vote was left to Fred Dyck, a local doctor, who stated that he had come to the meeting to vote with his head, but instead was going to vote with his heart. And so the campaign was started to raise the 1.3 million dollars to build the original Hospice and to provide the first year of operational funding.
Barb explained, “Hospital administration was open to working with us and gave us a small room for an office. That’s when we started the volunteer group.” “Hospice ran a bereavement program, addressing grief and walking with the bereaved in their journey,” said Andrea Hoye an RN and past board member during this time. The next phase, the idea of a home like setting, was exciting for Andrea and the other board members. Andrea explained that up until then about thirty-five percent of people were dying at home, and the rest went to hospital. In her experience, of that thirty-five
Andrea spent time in Prince George, where they had a Hospice, so she could picture in her mind what it could be like and brought her vision to the board.
“When we opened the house (in 2001) and didn’t (yet) have patients, we had a board meeting around the table, sitting in a room in which we had even picked the colours… it was a dream come true.” Barb and Andrea both credit Brenda Thorlakson for her vision and leadership to spearhead the campaign and lobby for funding from Interior Health. The first funding from Interior Health came in 2002, providing 25% of the Society’s total budget. “Brenda was the leader that built the strength of Hospice. She was the mover and doer, and had the vision.”

The Expansion Project The Society purchased two adjoining properties to facilitate the expansion of Hospice House. In 2008 Hospice grew from a 6 bed facility to 12 beds. This was a project lead by the board with the support of key individuals in the community who worked tirelessly to raise funds. “We (the campaign team) didn’t take the expansion project on lightly,” said Gladys Fraser, who was the President of the Board of Directors when the decision was made to expand Hospice House, and during the time of the expansion project.
“The things that stands out”, said Marcia Bell, the past president of Hospice, and a part of the Hospice board since 2006, “are the communities that supported us so well. We had an 18-month campaign. Aside from grant funding, the funding basically came from the community: gifts in kind, companies giving us hours and hours of labour and planning, and the overwhelming support and hard work of volunteers.”
This way of thinking has continued. The board has spent time building a strategic plan and focusing on community needs. “The board facilitates the outreach,” said Ron Allen, the present President of the Board of Directors. “I am excited to hear what the community thinks.”
Volunteers are a vital part of the care team who offer support to clients at Hospice House. Volunteers can provide:
• Personal comfort care • 24-hour vigil service near end-stage of illness
Grief and Bereavement Services
May 2008. Vernon and District Hospice Society becomes North Okanagan Hospice Society
Professional support is available to assist clients and families in working through grief and bereavement. Services are available to residents of the North Okanagan who have experienced grief due to the loss of someone significant in their life.
Today “Hospice provides an alternative for those who want it,” added Ron. He credits the people that are involved for making Hospice what it is today: the volunteers, the funders and the donors. “Hospice is a reflection of the North Okanagan. The support that the community gives - I am blown away.”
“It changed the whole facility,” said Marcia, “The rooms are so much better for families, with murphy beds. Everything was thought of in terms of
“Our Executive Director does an amazing job. She connects with the community. Her organizational ability keeps it running and her sensitivity towards others adds a huge piece to that environment.”
With the infrastructure in place Marcia then sat on a board committee that could look to the greater community needs. “Prior to 2009 we didn’t do a lot of consulting with people that lived in the North Okanagan. The board believes very strongly in order for us to plan for the future we need to understand the values of the people we serve. That is a huge part of what we think about when we decide on our plans for the future. We strive to gather data from the different communities and we incorporate that in our planning.”
Volunteer Services Program

Gladys echoed Marcia’s comments in saying, “It saw business competitors coming together to work for a common cause such as the excavation and concrete companies working side by side on the foundation. Everyone wanted to contribute and as the saying goes, ‘many hands make light work’”.
clients and their loved ones.” To which she added, “It’s not a facility, it’s a home.”
Other Services
“It takes special people to run a place such as this, and we have those special people that work and volunteer here. We wouldn’t be able to run Hospice without the volunteers.”

Volunteering at Hospice
Donna O’Hearn will be celebrating 12 years volunteering at Hospice this July Donna’s path leading her to volunteer at Hospice came from personal experiences living in Nelson and Victoria. She saw first hand the affect of home care in Nelson where it was described to her as ‘hard, yet rewarding,’ and of the Hospice care a friend’s daughter with an auto-immune disease received in Victoria. Donna describes a volunteer sitting with a grandfather one day as he let go of his stoic look that said ‘I can handle this’ and started crying. “I was so impressed for someone who was trying to be brave and I thought, this must be a good place.”
Donna’s move to Vernon led her to meet the mother of the executive director of Hospice, who encouraged Donna to volunteer. It was the push that she needed. She completed the volunteer training in 2002 which she describes as an amazing and rich experience. Her time at Hospice has helped with her own personal experiences in supporting her sister’s husband during her sister’s passing. “From my training I was able to help prepare him. It’s much different when it’s your own family, but the emotions…well… it’s a similar experience.” Donna plans to continue to fill her Monday morning time slot at Hospice and tells, “The times I’ve been
away I miss it.” She prepared Thursday breakfasts at one point, and helped in training and mentoring new recruits. The new recruits enjoyed the time so much they wanted to continue with Thursday mornings, so she gave up breakfast to them. She said. “I can’t be selfish.”
Donna describes the atmosphere at Hospice as welcoming. “We have had a wedding; we have anniversaries and birthday parties. We encourage people to feel welcome there, to bring the families together.”
“Hospice is a reflection of the North Okanagan. The support that the community gives - I am blown away.”

Heat take title Morning Star Staff
The Okanagan Test Rise Heat took the tourist route to the Vernon Co-Ed Slo-Pitch League playoff title last weekend at the DND diamonds. The pennant-winning Heat, with only a 10-man roster, went through the losers bracket before building up a 12-1 lead and cruising to a 14-6 win over the Dirty Sneakers in the final. The Heat started off with a big win over Hoes and Bros before falling to the Hurricanes in preliminary action. Facing elimination in their third game Saturday, the Heat ambushed Dead or Alive 13-0 before erasing an early 11-1 deficit for a 15-12 extra-inning victory over the Steelers. The Heat then brushed back the Hurricanes 7-5 and after a 15-minute break, moved on to face the undefeated Dirty Sneakers, who the Heat had to beat twice in a row for glory. Tired and having to power through injuries, the Heat once again had to go to extra innings and pulled out the 13-11 win. The Heat received solid bats from Matt McLellan, Steve English, calendar girl Conni Damini-Hayward, Lynn Gregoire, Jay Keis and Dustin Coombs, while Deejay Valenzuela, Conor Gilhooly, Tiffaney Keis and Jen Moen all recorded game-saving unbelievable plays on defence. Great pitching was turned in by Coombs and English.

Canucks upgrade in Philly
he Canucks upgraded their talent pool big-time, the Panthers paused before choosing defenceman Aaron Ekblad and the Oilers pocketed Vernon Viper forward Liam Coughlin. Just a quick summary of the NHL entry draft which ended Saturday in Philadelphia. Nobody was sure whether Florida, holding the No. 1 pick in the amateur lottery, would use the pick or trade it for two or three players. Panther GM Dale Tallon stepped up to the stage and said with “with the No. 1 pick, the Florida Panthers pick from the Ontario Hockey League … ” and then said nothing and smiled. After about five seconds, he ended the speculation and said Ekblad’s name. Ekblad, a dynamic big body with the Barrie Colts, said he had trouble breathing Kevin Mitchell as Tallon created tension with the delayed announcement. He played top-four defensive minutes for Canada in the World Junior Championships and rang up 23 goals and 53 points with the Colts. Craig Demetrick of Vernon, a scout with the Panthers, is high on the 6-foot-4, 216-pound Ekblad, the second blueliner in the last 18 years to go first overall. Coincidentally, the last time the Panthers had the No. 1 pick, they chose Ed Jovanovski, who went on to become the team’s captain and franchise leader. “He is a man-child,” Demetrick told The Morning Star, moments after the selection. “Big, strong and mature beyond his years. Fabulous talent, but even a better person and character. We are very excited to have selected him.” The Dallas Stars grabbed 5-foot-10, 180-pound Swift Current Bronco d-man Julius Honka at 14 in the first round. Vernon’s Dennis Holland, sporting a cool green tie, was smiling for the TSN cameras with Honka pulling on a Dallas jersey. “He’s an offensive-minded defender that is a powerplay producer,” Holland told me. “He plays much bigger than his size, is strong on his skates and he’s very competitive. He has a big shot from the point with the ability to get pucks through and on net.” Vernon’s Marty Stein, who scouts for the Red Wings, was elated with Detroit’s pick at 15 – American Under 18 star Dylan Larkin. “He’s a centre from Ann Arbor who played on the U.S.A. development team and is going to play at Michigan in the fall,” said Stein. “He was rated the best skater in the draft. A hard worker with skill who (coach Mike) Babcock will love.” Stein stood by Colorado head coach Patrick Roy and was amazed at just how big a man the former Habs’ net detective is in person. “I’m surprised Ozzie (former Wing goalie Chris Osgood, of Vernon) did as well as he did in his fight at centre ice,” chuckled Stein. The Canucks Saturday morning acquired right wing Linden Vey from the Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings in exchange for the 50th pick. Vey, 22, played 18 games for Los Angeles this season and had five assists. He had 14 goals and 34 assists in 43 games for the Manchester Monarchs in the American Hockey League. Vey was a fourth-round pick (No. 96) by the Kings at the 2009 NHL Draft. The Canucks shook up the NHL draft meetings early Friday by trading star centre Ryan Kesler to the Anaheim Ducks for centre Nick Bonino, defenceman Luca Sbisa and the 24th and 85th picks in the entry draft.
BETWEEN THE LINES
“I just spoke with Babcock re the Kesler trade,” said Stein. “He said he wants the best player in any trade and he likes Kesler.” Reading between the lines, Babcock figures the Ducks won that swap. The Canucks, however, have a thin farm system and very little depth past the Sedin twins. Bonino bagged 49 points and Sbisa should be a fourth or fifth d-man. Kesler’s best years are on his resume so it made sense for GM Jim Benning to get some assets for him now. Vancouver held the sixth pick Friday night and plucked Calgary Hitmen right winger Jake Virtanen. Virtanen had the highest overall grade from the on-ice testing that was performed at the CHL Top Prospects Game, placing first in the 30-metre forward sprint (3.92 seconds) and the 30-metre backward sprint (4.55 seconds). He’s a power forward who models his game after Rick Nash of the Rangers. “We’re kind of identical players,” saud Virtanen on his draft bio. “He likes to take the puck to the net. I think I’m a little more physical than that, I like to throw the body around.” Stein saw Virtanen play in the Dub, where he supplied 45 goals, and liked what he saw. “He has good size, skates well and has the ability to change the pace of a shift. Has some grit to him. Played well for the Hitmen. He can score and has a great shot.” A six-foot, 208-pounder from Abbotsford, Virtanen has dual Canadian and Finnish citizenship – his father’s native country is Finland. My beloved Oilers grabbed big centre Leon Draisaitl of the Prince Albert Raiders with the third overall pick and took Coughlin in the fifth round, 130th overall. Ottawa did not have a first-round choice, choosing Swedish d-man Andreas Englund at No. 40. “He’s a big (6-foot-3) strong defensive d-man,” said Vernon’s George Fargher, of the Sens’ scouting staff. “He’s a physical shutdown guy who competes well.” Fargher said U.S. high schooler D Miles Gendron, who Ottawa nabbed in the third round, is a highly skilled, smooth skating player. Gendron will play for Penticton next season.
Men’s league helps Massie fund
They raised $1,715 at the fourth annual Doug Massie Memorial Co-Ed Two-Pitch Tournament last weekend at the DND. Teams took to the diamonds dressed as super heros and villians and the Vernon Senior Men’s 35 + League held their 12-team tournament in conjunction with the costume-filled event. “If it had not been for them, we would not have been able to raise so much, for Doug’s memorial fund,” said tourney organizer Heather Savitsky. “They were so great in buying tickets for the 50/50, toonie bat draw, beer and tickets to the eight prizes I had for the raffle draw this year. They also donated $250 to the Memorial fund They will be joining in with us again next year.” Savitsky says next year’s fifth Massie Memorial tourney will be the last. “I’m hoping we will reach the goal I set out in my mind when I first started the tourney four years ago which was to raise $10,000. We are so very close to reaching it after four years.” Doug was a highly popular soccer and slo-pitch player who died Aug. 20, 2010 of a brain aneurism, at the age of 51.

Trio ready for Games ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
At four-foot-seven, Max Chirkoff is used to playing soccer against bigger opponents. Small in stature but lightning quick, Chirkoff uses that speed to continually thwart and frustrate opposing attackers. It is one of the main reasons he and fellow Vernon United U12 players Liam Glennon and Kevin Morgan will represent the Okanagan in boys soccer this month at the B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo. “I like the challenge of taking on the bigger players,” said Chirkoff, 12, who will enter Grade 7 at BX Elementary in the fall. “What helps is my speed. I’m short but I’m usually quicker than the bigger guys.” A fan of Cristiano Ronald and Real Madrid, Chirkoff has been playing soccer since he was five because it’s fun. “I thought I had a good chance to make the Summer Games team,” said Chirkoff who, like Glennon and Morgan, went to a pair of tryout camps. “I tried my best and I made it.” Glennon, a midfielder, also idolizes Ronaldo and Real Madrid. The 12-year-old soon-to-be Grade 7 student at either Hillview or Beairsto said making the Summer Games squad “is amazing,” especially with two friends on the squad. “I’m really excited about going to the Games,” said Glennon. “I think this team has a chance to be great and possibly win a medal.” Asked what makes the team great, Glennon smiled and said, “we’re awesome.” “We’re also skilled,” he said. Glennon, a rightfooted shot, made the team, he figures, because of his ability to move the ball well. While Glennon moves the ball, and Chirkoff looks after attackers, it’s Morgan’s duty to keep the ball out of the net. The 12-year-old, who will attend Grade 7 classes at Hillview, is one of two keepers named to the squad. “I like facing breakaways,” smiled Morgan, who
answered, ‘well, yeh,’ when a reporter asked if it’s a bad thing for a soccer goalie to be facing breakaways. “I also like distributing the ball to the players.” Morgan started playing soccer at age six and became a full-time keeper two years ago, though he said he has no idea why he wanted to stand between the posts. Morgan, who styles his game after his favourite keeper, Bayern Munich’s Manuel Neuer, also likes his team’s chances of reaching the podium. “We’re a strong team,” he said. “We have good goalies and we have good finishing.” The U12 age group in Vernon, the 2002 boys, is very strong, according to Morgan’s dad, Paul Morgan, a longtime player-coach in Vernon. Paul helps run one of the two U12 rep teams in Vernon, and figures five or six of the 26 boys in Vernon could have been selected for the Summer Games squad. Asked about the players going to Nanaimo, Paul said of Glennon: “He is a treat to watch. He dominates the midfield and is an offensive threat every time he is on the field.” Of the “tenacious” Chirkoff: “Max is strong on his tackles, quick to the ball, never gives an inch to his mark, and is very fast. His teammates love having him back there as they know he will out-hustle and out-work his opponent.” And of Morgan: “Kevin is a big imposing goalie, comes out aggressively to challenges shooters and takes away angles, and most importantly has very strong player skills so his distribution and passing is excellent.” The common thread, said Paul, is all three are passionate about soccer, have very high work ethics, hate to lose, are all leaders on the field, and they are all coachable. “As coaches, we are so proud to have our program represented by these three, they really do deserve their selection to this regional team,” said Paul.

Rattlers top Legends in finals Jets qualify for provincials Morning Star Staff
Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan Everton Ridge Legends bowed 7-3 to the host Kamloops Rattlers in Okanagan Valley Bantam A2 lacrosse playoff action Thursday night. Tanner Wright, with a deuce, and Caden Colemorgan, scored for Vernon in the third and deciding game in the best-of-three final. Kamloops moves to the provincials, July 10-13, in Victoria. The Legends, coached by Kevin Beauregard, edged the Rattlers 6-4 after a 10-minute running overtime in Game 2 Sunday afternoon at McArthur Island Sports Centre. “They’re a resilient group of kids that showed tremendous heart and we showed everyone that when we play Okanagan lacrosse, we’re tough to
beat,” said Legends’ assistant coach Casey Sherriff. Both teams came out flying with huge hits. The Legends broke the ice halfway through the first from Kayden Beauregard. Trailing 4-1 with four minutes remaining, Sean Howard sniped a shorthanded marker. Kael Black was levelling Rattlers all over the place and it seemed to be wearing them down as the Legends mounted their comeback late on goals from Kaden Doughty and Beauregard, with 37 seconds remaining. A 10-minute overtime ensued with the team scoring the most after the extra frame the winner. The Legends got two goals from Howard and Doughty. Kamloops downed the Legends 7-4 in Game 1.
Mud Sharks swamp The Mix 4-0 Morning Star Staff
The Do-Itt Drywall Mud Sharks blanked the Mix 4-0 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 2 play Thursday night at Marshall Field #2. Drywall striker Faith Tucker stole the ball from defender Pat Neilson and rifled one top left from 18 yards. Kate Alexander found the back of the net from the left side for her first of two and Dana Lazar used the left boot to bury one. Meagan Onderwater made countless saves for the Drywall (7-0.) The Mix moved to 2-6. Penticton United used a Tony Munoz hat trick in a 5-3 Okanagan Men’s 55+ Soccer League win over Vernon Kal Tire Thursday night at Mission Sports
Field #10. United played with nine players, but moved the ball around at will with shifty midfielders Tony Toth and Vlad Zamecnik controlling things. Graham Baker and Gord McLaren added singles in front of Tim Polukoshko, who made several clutch saves. Denis Chabot, with a deuce, and Bob Fleming responded for Kal Tire (3-6-1), who got two key breakaway stops by keeper Felix Heinrich. Chabot earned the Sleeman’s Man of the Match. The Vernon Silver Stars won by forfeit over the Summerland Rockets, but loaned the Rockets four players and stuffed them 4-1 in a friendly in Lake Country. Wolfgang Bopp (2), Keith Chancellor and Rob Ross supplied the offence for the 8-0-1 Stars.
The Vernon ANAF Jets have qualified for the B.C. Under 16C Girls Fastball Championships, July 4-6, in Port Alberni. The Jets, coached by Tim Jones, took second place after losing 7-3 to the Kelowna Howlers in the District playdown final at High Noon Park in Kelowna last weekend. Vernon won five straight games to reach the final, ripping the Kelowna Royals 16-7, stuffing the Sicamous Stingers 11-3, grounding the Howlers 14-2, jolting the Summerland Jets 14-7 and outlasting the Kelowna Royals 13-11. Sarah Jones and Cameron Thiessen handled the Jets’ pitching, while Samantha Head and Morgan Jones shared catching duties. The final was tied
3-3 before going to extra innings. The Howlers also advance to provincials. Laureen Hornell, Morgan Jones, Miranda Blatny, Courtnie Fuster, Sarah Jones, Landry Bickel
and Yetko Robins round out the Vernon roster. Meanwhile, the Enderby Storm Midgets and Pee Wees won District titles and are in the provincials, July 4-6, in Richmond.

UBCM priority issues nailed down Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
A couple of dangerous highway intersections, meat licences and manure management are among the issues being championed by local politicians in hopes of some provincial support. Coldstream has set up a list of topics and corresponding ministers to meet with at the Union of B.C. Municipalities in Whistler Sept. 22 to 26. Most of the issues being brought to the ministerial meetings aren’t new, but it’s hoped that perseverance will pay off. Coldstream is requesting a meeting with Agricultural Minister Norm Letnick to share its support for the Agricultural Land Reserve (in light of recent changes) and to get an update on manure management regulations. “They had a white paper on that and it kind of died,” said Mayor Jim Garlick of regulations which Coldstream has been pushing for over the past several years. It’s also hoped that the Regional
District of North Okanagan will meet with Letnick over meat licences. “Before the election, the provincial government has promised to bring licences back to our area,” said Coun. Richard Enns. “That has yet to happen.” Coldstream will also be asking RDNO to request a meeting with Minister of Transportation Todd Richard Enns Stone over the dangerous intersection of Highway 97 and Birnie Road. “Improvements are needed to improve public safety and prevent any future tragedies,” states Trevor Seibel, Coldstream’s CAO in a report. Coldstream also hopes to meet with Stone on an extension of Highway 6 work to improve the King Eddy intersection with acceleration and deceleration lanes. The Kal Lake lookout is also on the
agenda with the province again. “I think that’s an important one to look at,” said Coun. Pat Cochrane. Coldstream is also looking to meet with Environment Minister Mary Polak on Coldstream Creek testing and the issue of testing being downloaded on Greater Vernon Water Authority. “That is to me beyond their ability or mandate,” said Coun. Maria Besso. Coun. Gyula Kiss is also hoping to get RDNO to request a meeting with Coralee Oakes, community development minister, regarding grants for water separation. “We tried last year,” said Kiss. Seibel, Garlick, Besso, Enns and Coun. Peter McClean are all planning to attend the conference. Five rooms have been booked but Besso will be seeking alternative accommodations.
Coldstream park fees increase Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Coldstream is hiking up the cost to play. Parks and public spaces fees are increasing 2.6 per cent for users looking to rent an entire area for an event such as a wedding, family picnic, event or other function. “A group can use the park at anytime it’s just that they don’t have exclusive use,” said Mayor Jim Garlick. The increase falls in line with Greater Vernon’s fee increase and is also lower than the suggested 5.6 per cent increase resulting from a cost analysis. The 2.6 per cent increase could be changed depending on data collected. “After we get a better handle on what it costs us,” said Garlick, as previous detail was not recorded under the former Greater Vernon Parks structure. One fee that will remain unchanged is the special event rate for the full day rental of Lavington Park ($500). But one councillor maintains that is still too onerous on community groups. “You put these fees up and they just won’t do it,” said Coun. Maria Besso of events such as the Back to Earth

“It stops community from happening.” — Maria Besso
Community Harvest Festival, which is not taking place this year. If anything, Besso would like to see a decrease in the cost to use parks, not an increase. “What this is doing is taking away the parks and greenspaces that we own away from the people and discouraging them,” said Besso. “It stops community from happening.” Besso suggests instead of giving grants to community groups, Coldstream should be giving them free use of parks and facilities. “I find it discourages some groups from actually doing good things on the land.”

YOU AND THE LAW CHEATING SPOUSES PAY FOR MISCONDUCT By Janice Mucalov, LL.B.
Canada’s Divorce Act has for years specifically prohibited “misconduct” when considering how much support a spouse should pay. An abusive husband or a wealthy wife who’s had a series of affairs doesn’t pay more spousal support because their behaviour caused their marriage to break up. But a recent Supreme Court of Canada case confirms that the“emotional consequences”of a spouse’s misconduct are relevant.
of the reasons the court gave for dismissing his appeal was that Gary was in part at fault for his ex-wife’s ongoing need for spousal support. Justice Mary Southin wrote on behalf of the majority of the B.C. Court of Appeal: “Parliament, in its wisdom, or lack thereof, has said the court must give no weight to what the husband here did - that is carrying on behind his wife’s back and, when it suited him, walking out on his wife of 20 years who had borne him a child and contributed substantially to his financial wellbeing.” She described Sherry as being“bitter to the point of obsession with his misconduct and in consequence she has been unable to make a new life. Her life is this litigation.”
Gary and Sherry Leskun had been married for 20 years when he suddenly left her and moved to Chicago for another job. At the time, Sherry (who was eight years older than her husband) was dealing with an injured back, the loss of her long-time banking job and the deaths of three family members. A few months later, Gary met another woman in Chicago whom he wanted to marry and told his wife he wanted a divorce. They were divorced a year later in 1999, and Gary was ordered to pay Sherry $2,250 a month in spousal support until she could return to work full time. Kylie Walman In 2003, Gary lost his job and applied to stop paying support, partly because he said it was time his ex-wife found a job. (The Divorce Act imposes an obligation on divorced people to try and support themselves.) His application was dismissed - the BC Supreme Court found that he had significant earning capacity and assets of about $1 million in the US. Sherry, on the other hand, was still not self-sufficient and remained in need of support. Gary appealed. The BC Court of Appeal also dismissed Gary’s application. Sherry was 57 at the time of appeal and unable to find a job to become financially independent of her ex-husband. One

Gary Leskun appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada. It decided that while the BC Court of Appeal was wrong to attribute fault to the husband, it was right to consider Sherry’s emotional state (which resulted in part from her exhusband’s behaviour) in determining whether she was still unable to be self-sufficient and needed ongoing spousal support. Because Sherry was unemployable as a result of being emotionally devastated over her ex-husband’s misconduct, her spousal support was continued. What this means is that you cannot claim support just because your spouse abused you or cheated on you and had an affair. But if that adultery, abuse or other misconduct contributes to your inability to work and move on with your life, then the consequences of your spouse’s misconduct are relevant in determining how much spousal support should be paid and for how long.

Delays and technical issues have clouded Armstrong’s planned water meter shadow billing period. Council’s original intention on the project, which began in August 2012, was to implement two billing periods per year: January to June and July to December. But technical challenges and resulting time delays means only one shadow period can happen this year as opposed to the desired two. “One of the issues is we ended up with close to 100 more outdoor metered pits to be installed than we had first contemplated,” said Coun. John Trainor. “In order to read meters in the wintertime, you’re going to have to get at them. If they’re in a pit in the ground, chances are they’ll be under snow.” In a report to council, 46 out of an approximate 1,800 homes had yet to have water meters installed, meaning the project is about 97 per cent completed. Of those 46 homes, as of June 16, 37 had outdoor meter pits that needed to be installed; seven were new homes with meters that needed touchpads installed, and two were “under determination.” As of June 23, said Trainor, the pit installations were being knocked down “by two a day,” and only one home now needed a touchpad installed. Council unanimously passed a motion calling for residential shadow billing using actual water consumption data be implemented for the periods of April 1 to Sept. 30, 2014, Oct. 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015 and April 1 to Sept. 30, 2015. Full consumptionbased billing will start for the period of Oct. 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016.

Anna Yaremchuk passes on the Ukrainian tradition of making pyrohy (perogies) to the younger generation. Sophia Wasylinko, 12, and her sister Teresa fill the dough circles with a potato and cheddar mixture.
Anna Yaremchuk shows Teresa Wasylinko, six, how to roll out the dough.
Sharing tradition Editor’s note: Anna Yaremchuk kindly shares her pyrohy recipe with Morning Star readers. Pyrohy (Perogies) 4 cups flour 1 tsp. salt 3 cups hot russet potatoes that have been put through a potato ricer 2 eggs, beaten 1/2 cup oil 8 potatoes 1 cup of cottage or cheddar cheese or sauerkraut (chopped) Sift flour and salt in a bowl, add hot riced potatoes, blend well by hand. Add beaten eggs and oil, mix well and knead a bit. Divide dough into 2 or 4 round pieces on a large bread board; cover with bowls and let rest for 15-20 min. Roll out on board or counter to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut round or
square, do not use flour on counter. Filling: Boil 8 potatoes, mash and let cool a bit. Cottage cheese or cheddar cheese or sauerkraut (chopped, drained and fried with salt and pepper) can be added, set aside. Place a teaspoon of filling in the centre of each piece of dough. Fold over to cover filling and pinch the edges tightly together to seal. Drop 15-20 pyrohy into boiling salted water, stir gently with a wooden spoon to prevent them from sticking. Boil steady until well-puffed, for 5-7 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon into a colander. Pour 1/2 cup of cold water over them to prevent them from sticking to one another. Place in a deep dish, add melted butter and toss gently. Serve with sour cream. Serving them with fried bacon pieces and onion is also good.
Juliana Wasylinko, nine, and her sister Anastasia, 11, pinch shut the potato and cheddar-filled perogies during a cooking lesson at Anna Yaremchuk’s home.

Does Fido really need to accompany us when doing errands on a hot sunny day? Think of how uncomfortable it is when you climb into a hot car. It feels the same for our canine friends. Humans have a way better mechanism to cool off their internal body temperature compared to dogs. Dogs do not have an efficient process as they rely on panting to exchange warm air for cool air. Dogs do not have sweat glands like us and can only sweat from the pads of their feet. They do not tolerate high environmental temperatures. So with these things in mind, is it fair to take them on a run in the middle of the day or leave them in a car while we pick up milk and eggs? Such a habit could result in Heat stroke. Heat stroke is caused by an increase in body temperature which can occur because of hot and/or humid conditions. Signs of heat stroke are rapid panting, hot skin, twitching muscles and a dazed appearance. If this occurs remove your pet from the hot environment, wrap them in a cool, soaked towel and seek veterinary care. Consider these important risks when dealing with hot/humid weather and the safety of your pet.

There’s lots to savour at VJH fundraiser Eat, drink and help raise money for new beds and medical equipment at Vernon Jubilee Hospital Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Handmade ravioli stuffed with B.C. forest foraged wild mushrooms from Misty Mountain and Armstrong cheese, topped with a Volcanic Hills wine foam. Oysters shipped fresh from Fanny Bay on Vancouver Island prepared Rockefeller style and topped with organic spinach from Pilgrims’ Produce farm in Armstrong. Lamb sliders, with the lamb coming from a Vernon farm, with a beet and arugula salad, also grown locally. These are just a few of the delights that local foodies and food lovers will soon devour, along with local wines, beer and spirits, when the Prestige Hotel and Bourbon Street Bar and Grill host the inaugural Savour the Okanagan. Funds raised from the July 26 event in the Prestige Hotel Ballroom will benefit the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation’s $2.5 million campaign to equip the two top floors of Polson Tower, said Sue Beaudry, director of development with the VJH Foundation. “This is another way for us to raise money for the tower and to open up the two floors with new beds and equipment. We’re a little over half way in pledges and we’re delighted.

We’ve received lots of good support from the community.” The idea to host an event to support the hospital came from the Prestige Hotel’s sales and convention manager Lisa Grant and Bourbon Street chef Inna Turchin, when the
launch for phase two of the Polson Tower campaign was held at the hotel back in November. At the event, campaign co-chairs Richard Finn and Dr. Chris Cunningham spoke on the need for beds to accommodate the 60
patients that will be treated in the modern, state-of-the-art facility with spacious rooms. “(Grant, Turchin and Bourbon Street general manager Rick Reichelt) came up with this idea not to compete with other events in town and to have it come in the middle of the summer, which is a great way to attract visitors,” said Beaudry. The event is also a great way to feature the bounty of the Okanagan, added chef Turchin, who happens to farm the lamb attendees will savour. “This is all sourced local to showcase all that the Valley has to offer,” she said, adding, “We are showcasing an array of Okanagan inspired hors d’oeuvres and canapés showcasing delectable local ingredients. We will also showcase Naramata Bench cheeses and Helmut’s Sausage European meats and much more.” Also featured will be local libation, including 16 Okanagan wineries, selections from Okanagan Spring Brewery, Okanagan Spirits distillery as well as Planet Bee’s Honeymoon Mead. “We will have 20 vendors in total set up in booths,” said Grant. “The whole feeling of the room will be draped with lights under a starry sky. There will be cocktail tables and a casual/social atmosphere.” A silent auction and live music by local artist Steve Todd will also be part of the event. Tickets for Savour the Okanagan are on sale now and cost $50 each. (Guests music be 19 and over to attend). Purchase them at the Prestige Hotel in Vernon or online at www.vjhfoundation.org/events/savour-theokanagan.
Orchard goes back 45 years with third annual Woodstock Revival Morning Star Staff
In a technicolour sea of tie dye and bell bottoms, love is in the air and so is the scent of patchouli, or is that sage? For the third year in a row, Gatzke Orchards in Oyama will be hosting one of the hippest and grooviest festivals in the Okanagan. Woodstock Revival III takes place July 4 to 6 at Gatzke Orchards, a third generation family-owned and operated orchard in Lake Country. “For me, our Woodstock Revival is an opportunity to celebrate the little hippy in all of ★★★★★★★ ★★★★★★★
us and all that was good in the late ‘60s and ‘70s,” said orchard owner Al Gatzke. “It’s about a time of innocence and love without the rush-rush, go-go pace of today. It gives me pleasure to revisit my youth once every summer by opening up the farm and sharing experiences with others about those groovy times.” The setting is idyllic, with a view of both Kalamalka and Wood Lakes. “Now with the new highway open, the little town of Oyama has turned into the hidden jewel of the Okanagan,” said Gatzke. “Guests can camp on site and
enjoy some tasty local food and beverages while checking out some great live music.” Confirmed artists include Jason Buie, Poppa Dawg, Sabrina Weeks, Kathy Frank, Ellie Johnson, Sugarbud, Linda Sue Wilson, Dan Engelland and the SOS House Band. Producers are working on some more additions to be announced soon. “The orchard, music and the people are what makes the Woodstock Revival so special,” said Gatzke event manager Joe Pinheiro. “Last year I met a lady who missed the original Woodstock in ’69 because she
went into labour. Now here she was with her daughter at our Woodstock having the time of her life. It was such a great experience.” After the success of Woodstock II and the overwhelming enthusiasm from everyone, producers met and started some early planning to return in 2014. “When I attended the Woodstock Revival at Gatzke Orchards last summer it was an event like no other I had attended in many years,” said returning Woodstocker Jody Postma. “For me, it was a complete immersion into the innocent past. No

chaos... It was groovy. It was peace and love, that simple. I left knowing I would be back to replenish my soul with the spirit of Gatzke Orchards Woodstock Revival.” Tickets for the revival are $60 for a three-day pass and $25 for a day pass, available at Gatzke Orchards, located on Pelmewash Parkway in Oyama, Lake Country, between Vernon and Kelowna. There is some camping and RV spots still available for the event. This is an-all ages event with activities planned for the kids.

Jersey Boys
ersey Boys relays the interpersonal story of how four friends from the wrong side of the tracks managed to break out of New Jersey to become the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame singing act, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. We say, “The songs are doo-wop, the film is don’twop.” HOWE: Based on the long running musical, Jersey Boys the movie feels like Taylor and Howe a stage production. Near the beginning of the film, the boys are attempting to steal a safe in a street scene that appears to filmed on a set. After that, the scenes are simple settings and with the actors taking turns addressing the camera and audience to tell their side of the story, it feels quite like the musical. TAYLOR: There’s nothing lazier in a film than having your characters tell you the story rather than show you the story. Occasionally, you need narration, but really only in a situation where demonstrative story telling is impossible or when the narration itself fits the film’s style. Having said that, I think if Jersey Boys didn’t have characters explaining things, they would have to make it a three hour movie, which would prove still more enervating. However, most of the explanation in this film is superfluous, telling us things we already know as they take place in the film. We know Tommy (the founder of the group) is a jerk. We know

John Lloyd Young is Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys. these young men have a New Jersey ‘50s gangster attitude. What we don’t know is why. This missing backstory could have been explained to us and I might have accepted that. Instead this feels like a film that attempts to be cooler than it is. Also, there’s absolutely nothing original in this story: all music groups go through difficulties. Life on the road is always tough. Managers always take what they can from you. Gangsters are gangsters and egos are egos. HOWE: The best thing about the Jersey Boys movie is the music, even though I don’t think Frankie Valli had a great voice. (Frank Sinatra and Nat King
Cole had far superior voices in my opinion.) You can’t help but let your foot tap along to the tunes. If you are a fan of his and haven’t seen the stage show this will do nicely, just don’t expect the best of acting from the cast. Saying that, all the hits are there from Sherry to Can’t take My Eyes Off You and the cost of seeing him on the big screen is cheaper than seeing him in concert. – Howe gives Jersey Boys 3 phone auditions out of 5. – Taylor gives it 2 shattered glasses out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.
Realty office returns with Cinema Under the Stars Sutton Group – Lakefront Realty is once again hosting its Cinema Under the Starts outdoor movie nights in Vernon.

Catch all the drama at camp Morning Star Staff
The stage is being set for young thespians at a local summer camp. Lana O’Brien, W.L. Seaton Secondary School drama teacher and head of 27th Street Theatre Company, and her husband Mike are leading a week-long drama camp for ages 10 to 14. Taking place at MacKenzie Camp, which is owned by the United Church of Canada and is located in the picturesque cottage country area of Mabel Lake, east of Enderby, the camp takes place Aug. 5 to 9. For O’Brien, the creation of theatre is about literally stepping into someone else’s shoes. “It provides a wonderful vehicle for people to learn empathy for others as they imagine themselves living someone else’s life,” she said. “It breaks down social barriers and improves communication between people. And the kids bring incredible energy, open
hearts, and a desire to learn and have fun. It’s awesome.” The camp theme for the summer is pay it forward, which has inspired O’Brien to create a musical theatre program where modern music with similar themes will be used to create a song and dance extravaganza about finding ways to help others. “Students will learn to sing, move and dance and will present their creation for parents and guests at the camp on Aug. 9,” said O’Brien, adding, “There are other awesome camp activities for kids at MacKenzie too, and all campers will get to experience everything.” Some of those activities include outdoor adventures such as the climbing wall, archery and canoeing as well as learning life skills and personal development during quiet reflection, craft, and conversation times. Registration for the camp is now open at www.mackenziecamp.ca.

Sci-fi double feature
T
he genesis of science fiction can be traced directly to the publication of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley more than two centuries ago. It grew so popular in the decades that followed to where today the genre greatly influences modern popular culture through movies, television, books and a myriad of computer games. It is not every reader’s cup of tea but some science fiction authors are terrific storytellers and their work is easily accessible to readers of other genres, especially when time travel is used as a device to drive the story. Everyone can identify with the thought of travelling time. Blackout and All Clear (2010), a stunning two-volume work, clearly illustrates why multiple prize-winning author Connie Willis deserves the critical acclaim she’s earned as an incomparable storyteller. The first novel in the series is an enormously entertaining tale of time travel, war and the deeds—great and small—of the ordinary people who shape history. Oxford in 2060 is a chaotic place, with scores of time-travelling historians being sent into the past. Michael Davies is preparing to go to Pearl Harbor, Merope Ward is struggling with a group of bratty 1940s’ evacuees and Polly Churchill’s next assignment will be as a shop girl in the middle of London’s Blitz. But the time-travel lab is now cancelling assignments for no apparent reason and switching everyone’s schedules. When Michael, Merope and Polly finally travel to the Second Word War it only grows worse. They face blackouts, unexploded bombs, dive-bombing Stukas, rationing, shrapnel, V-1s and two of the most incorrigible children in all of history, to say nothing of a growing unease that not only are their assignments but the war and history itself are spinning out of control. The oncereliable mechanisms of time travel are showing significant glitches and the three heroes begin to question their most

firmly held belief that no historian can possibly change the past. The Map of Time (2011) by renowned Spanish author Felix Palma is a riveting thriller that explores the impact of time travel in three intersecting narratives. The opening chapter of the story, set in 1896 England, starts out like a tragic Victorian romance. Andrew Harrington plans to take his own life, despondent over the death years earlier of his lover, the last victim of Jack the
Ripper. Meanwhile, 21-year-old Claire Haggerty plots to escape her restrictive role by escaping to the future via Murray’s Time Travel, a new commercial concern that offers such a trip for a hefty fee. Finally, Colin Garrett of Scotland Yard believes a weapon from the future could only have caused a fatal wound on a murder victim. H.G. Wells, the author of The Time Machine, becomes involved and serves to link all three stories. The Map of Time is a wonderful blend of genres, including science fiction, steampunk, mystery and romance, and will appeal to a wide range of readers even if they seldom read science fiction. These titles are available at the Okanagan Regional Library.
Live Well
HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist KYLE BREWER
The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is a number on sunscreen labels to indicate the relative sun protection the product gives. If you normally burn in 5 minutes without sunscreen, using an SPF 30 product will give you 150 minutes of protection. An SPF 50 product will give you 250 minutes of protection. Whatever sunscreen you use, be sure to apply it about half an hour before sun exposure and reapply, especially after swimming and sweating. Apply enough ... about a teaspoon for each leg, the same for amount each for your chest, stomach and back, and half a teaspoon each on arm, face, neck and ears. It’s sad to read stories of someone dying from a preventable disease. Meningitis is one of those. There is a vaccine available, and the Centre of Disease Control recommends it be given to all children ages 11-18. Good personal hygiene is important as well as not sharing food, drink containers, utensils, towels and cosmetics. Regular hand-washing is also important. Speaking of immunization and prevention of disease, a recent analysis of the global economic effects of immunization shows that vaccinating our children saves billions in future direct and indirect costs to healthcare. As well, it saves over 42,000 lives and over 20 million cases of disease yearly. Vaccination works. Our pharmacists are knowledgable about vaccines available to prevent disease. We’d be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Farmers markets want to attract newbies Morning Star Staff
The B.C. Association of Farmers Markets has launched its It Feels Better at the Farmers Market campaign and selfie contest, which runs until July 21. This public awareness campaign and contest offers prizes, activities, and incentives at participating markets throughout B.C. to entice market newbies to discover farmers markets. “Over the last several years, we’ve seen a 62 per cent increase in the number of markets in B.C.,” said Elizabeth Quinn, B.C. Association of Farmers Markets executive director. “There’s no doubt people are becoming increasingly passionate about buying local, in-season food and locally produced goods. With this campaign, we want to build on this growing enthusiasm in B.C. by reaching out to those who might not know that the markets offer much more than food — they offer an experience that feels amazing.” Across B.C., there are more than 125 farmers markets, including throughout the North Okanagan. In addition to locally grown food and locally made products, the markets offer a variety of community activities such as live music, children’s activities, cooking classes, artisan workshops and much more. “It’s a joyful thing to be able to shop for food and at the same time meet the people who grow and produce what we eat,” said Lydia Ryall, campaign spokesperson and winner of the 2014 Young Farmers of the Year Award. “I’m thrilled to help spread the good word about our B.C. markets and I’ll definitely be ready to pose for a farmers market selfie with anyone who wants to visit our booth.”

A new campaign encourages British Columbians to discover farmers markets in their community. The campaign involves the provincial government’s Buy Local program, the Investment Agriculture Foundation of B.C., the Ministry of Agriculture and Vancity.
“British Columbians go to a farmers market to enjoy the high quality foods produced in their communities, and for the conversations and relationships they can have with
people who grow our food,” said Norm Letnick, agriculture minister and Lake Country MLA. “Farmers markets have a unique and festive atmosphere, and I look forward to seeing the creative ways British Columbians capture and share their experiences through this contest.” Here’s what the It Feels Better at the Farmers Market campaign will look like: n The #FarmersMarketSelfie contest will serve as a showcase of the feel-good experiences people in B.C. are having at their farmers markets. n Selfie entries can be made until July 7. All B.C. residents 18 years of age and older are eligible to enter. n How to enter: Snap a photo of yourself at any B.C. farmers market and submit it to www.facebook.com/bcafm n Promote your selfie to get the most votes. The selfie that gets the most votes wins a Bernardin home canning starter kit and $500 worth of goods from your favourite B.C. farmers market. n Each week, five random winners will be selected from five regions of B.C. Each of these random winners will take home a Bernardin home canning starter kit and $50 gift card to the B.C. farmers market of their choice (the market must be a member of the B.C. Association of Farmers Markets). n Voting for the contest will happen until July 21. n The It Feels Better at the Farmers Market campaign includes a series of online videos. Follow the campaign on Twitter at @ BCFarmersMarket, Facebook at www.facebook.com/BCAFM or at www.bcfarmersmarket.org/.
Report highlights interest in recreational property Morning Star Staff
There’s growing demand for recreational property in the North Okanagan. Re/Max’s latest recreational property report indicates that sales are on the upswing in the North Okanagan as a result of growing confidence in the economy and the real estate market in particular. “Many buyers in this region are looking for high-end homes either as weekElton Ash end getaways or to live in during their retirement years,” states the report. “Properties in and around the North Okanagan area start at about $650,000 and increase to just under $6 million depending on location, size and ameni-
ties. The most expensive property listed recently was a 4,500-square-foot home with a dock and two boat lifts, which sold for about $2.5 million.” According to the report, there are two kinds of buyers in the North Okanagan: those looking for older cottages under $1 million and those seeking newer properties listed at more than $2 million. The higher-end buyers are often looking for a dock for their boats, allowing them access to a number of watersports that are popular in the area. Many buyers in the North Okanagan are between ages 35 to 55 and come from the Lower Mainland, parts of Alberta, and the U.S. The report also highlights recreational properties across Western Canada. It states that recreational property markets across Western
Canada are experiencing healthy activity heading into the summer. “Consumer confidence is high and motivated buyers are seeking out their dream vacation homes, with some markets reporting the most activity seen since the recession.” A weaker Canadian dollar has also prompted buyers to remain within Canada rather than buying south of the border. “We see momentum in recreational property sales, especially near urban centres where local residents have experienced several years of economic growth,” said Elton Ash, regional executive vice-president of Re/Max Western Canada. “This year, we are seeing the effects of buyer confidence in some regions thanks to built-up equity gains and strong job markets across the west.”

Armstrong painter gains national exposure Tyler lowey Morning Star Staff
One mom, a paintbrush, two kids and a love of art has earned Susan Weeks some serious face time in the painting community. Susan Weeks became the first woman to grace the cover of Pro Painter magazine in the spring issue for her work with her company, Susan Weeks Painted House. “It was pretty weird to see my face on there,” said Weeks. Weeks has been a subscriber to the Ottawa publication for 10 years. “I just wanted my kids to be proud of me. I have never had a picture in the newspaper or magazine before,” said Weeks. “They thought it was cool.” Weeks says that Pro Painter was excited to work with her. “It’s pretty cool. They sent me 20 copies, so I’m going to keep some and frame one of them,” said Weeks. Weeks, who resides in Armstrong, has been running her company for 15 years. She paints houses, hotels, ski lodg-
Pro Painter Photo
es, furniture and bathrooms. There isn’t a project that she can’t paint. Prior to painting, Weeks spent 10 years as an executive secretary for an oil company in Calgary. “Working in four walls wasn’t for me,” said Weeks. She quit her job to start up her paint company and moved back to Armstrong 12 years ago. Weeks says she got into painting years ago in order to get a discount on rent. “I would paint the house or apartments I was renting. That’s how I gained basic painting skills,” said Weeks. “I love to paint, it can be so quick. You can go into a blank room and within an hour and a half you got something nice,” said Weeks. Weeks hopes the magazine cover will help stimulate more business, but doesn’t see any expansion in her future. “I just like to do it all myself. I really like to do the painting and I like having my name on the company,” said Weeks.
Susan Weeks of Armstrong appears on the spring issue of Pro Painter magazine.

through Delta’s fertile farmlands and over Tsawwassen’s causeway to the Nanaimo ferry. Twin totems with outstretched arms welcome the five of us: Fred, Mike, Doug, Don and me to Duke Point. The ferry-load of vehicles roars past and it’s a quiet ride along the highway. Entering Nanaimo’s Parkway Trail, we spin through riots of wildflowers and under shady evergreens. After stops to snack on wild blackberries, there’s an invigorating swim in Colliery Dam’s reservoir. Proceeding refreshed along this woodsy bikeway, a deer leaps from some brush ahead. Wednesday: Atop Island Highway’s ample shoulders, we loop through Nanoose Bay, Parksville and up along Coombs’ roadside attractions.

ing. Then one by one we grind up to Port Alberni Summit and then freewheel together down into the bustling town. Friday: Coasting to the dock, we board the Francis Barkley for a restful early morning cruise to Ucluelet. Breakfasting in the galley, we study Alberni Inlet’s steep sloped mountains carved by glaciers. Secluded cottages border this long, deep waterway. Our packet freighter stops only for deliveries to a floating post office and a resort to drop-off and pick-up kayakers. A cold fogbank covering the coastline lifts in Ucluelet, enabling a sunny pedal to Pacific Rim National Park. At Green Point, rangers direct us to walkin campsites amid firs, ferns and salmonberries. A site is designated for fellow cyclist Fred and his spouse, who arrives by car and bestows blueberry pies on our appreciative group. Basking in golden sunshine, all stroll the wide, wondrous beach. Outcrops of black rock embrace tidal pools teeming with life. Shorebirds strut, poking long bills in the sand for squirmy tidbits. Saturday: Mike and I rise early to tackle Port Alberni highway. The jolly jaunt to Kennedy Lake ends at the overhead sign ominously flashing. There’s now
12 kilometers of blind curves, tenuous shoulders and steep grades. Reaching the summit, an exhilarating descent rewards our efforts. Reenergized, we skirt countless evergreens and Kennedy River to Sproat Lake. Stopping amid trailer-made grocery and liquor stores, I ask a well-dressed lady about camping prospects. As hotel site manager, she invites us to tent on their lakeshore. Arriving later, the owner takes us all on a speedboat tour past East Bay cottages and local petroglyphs. Sunday: After a peaceful pedal along Somass River, we breakfast in Port Alberni, grind back over the hump and coast blissfully into Cathedral Grove. Pushing onward, we soon return to our Coombs campground. Monday: A bakery breakfast replaces camp oatmeal. Remounted, we see two deer munch seedlings in a fenced nursery on the edge of Coombs. I grin considering how well they’ve eluded island cougars. Then, with wind at our backs, we sail along the Island Highway to Duke Point. Aboard the Tsawwassen Ferry, there’s chat about our extraordinary experiences and ideas for next year’s tour. Rick Millikan is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

One day of the week just to rest Yme Woensdregt Special to The Morning Star
One of the strongest memories of my youth is that our family always made sure that Sunday was a special day. We were Dutch Reformed. For us, Sunday was the day we went to church. Nothing got in the way of church. We went twice each Sunday, morning and later afternoon. The rest of the day was spent in family activities: playing games, picnicking, reading quietly. Stores weren’t open, and even if they were, we wouldn’t have been allowed to go. One year, my grandmother visited us from Holland. As a Dutch Calvinist, she was even more strict about keeping Sunday than my parents were. Sundays were a day when we were supposed to think about God. For three weeks, we had to stay in our Sunday clothes. We were not allowed to play games. We were
not allowed to play outside. We had to follow the fourth commandment very strictly, “keeping the Sabbath holy.” As you might imagine, an 11-year-old boy was not very happy about this state of affairs; nor were my younger brothers and sisters. We’ve lost much of that these days. Our society doesn’t keep sabbath. Everything is wide open all the time. Stores, shopping malls, hockey rinks, restaurants — there is so much which entices us to keep busy, to keep running around on weekends as well as during the week. Sabbath has to do with rest, with renewal, with taking time out from the routine round of work to renew ourselves. Keeping sabbath partly means that it is a gift of resting for a world which is way too busy. It gives us space to be renewed and to let go of our need to control life.
Sabbath is a day set apart from the other six days. We keep Sabbath holy by ceasing and resting. We spend so much time striving, trying to be better, trying a little harder, giving our all, and then giving a little more. All around us, voices entice us to upgrade, to get the new and improved model, to do more. Part of keeping sabbath is simply to stop. We enjoy the blessings of our lives. We marvel at snow-covered mountains and streams running in their banks. We take time to nurture the relationships in our lives and to pursue those activities which gives us joy. Sabbath is a time of ceasing. A second part of keeping sabbath is to rest. More than ceasing, resting has to do with renewal. We are renewed physically and spiritually, relationally and internally. When we keep sabbath, we
renew our relationships with others and build new connections. How many times have you said to someone, “We really should get together more often” after an evening of good food and conversation? Sabbath provide an excellent opportunity to do just that, to relax with good friends, enjoying relationships that are mutually nurturing. It’s also a time to nurture our relationship with God. Sabbath brings spiritual renewal. Life is more than just consuming, competing and worrying about our stock portfolios. We need to pay attention to our spiritual lives, and that’s becoming increasingly difficult in this competitive, consumerist society. May you find sabbath time this summer. Make time to cease and rest. The Rev. Yme Woensdregt is incumbent at Christ Church Anglican in Cranbrook.
Cauliflower is catching on for so many reasons simone Jennings Special to The Morning Star
I love this time of year! With the arrival of summer, the selection of fresh produce at the farmers’ market is increasing each week. I truly look forward to Saturday mornings, strolling the farmers’ market with my husband and son, coming home with an arm load of goodies that were freshly pulled from the earth. Despite its bland colour, cauliflower does not disappoint when it comes to nutrition! It is a great source of vitamin C, which has an important role in our immune system. It is also a good source of folate, a vitamin that is essential for making new cells and is necessary before and during pregnancy. As well, it is a good source of fibre and antioxidants and is low
in fat and calories. It is also versatile and has become popular in many dishes. I have seen cauliflower as the star ingredient in all kinds of recipes, even hummus and pizza crust. My favourite way to eat it is oven-roasted along with other veggies such as potatoes, yams, carrots and/ or onions. Toss the veggies in olive oil and sprinkle with your choice of seasoning (I like curry powder, fresh garlic and a sprinkle of sea salt). Roasted cauliflower can also be served on its own as a side dish, added to pasta dishes, or puréed into soups. Looking to lighten things up? Try cauliflower as a substitute for potatoes. Cauliflower purée makes a good, lower calorie alternative to mashed potatoes. Or replace potatoes with steamed cauliflower in your favourite potato salad recipe.
Try this cauliflower purée that some call mock mashed potatoes. 1 head of cauliflower 1 tablespoon of light cream cheese ¼ cup parmesan or aged cheddar cheese 1 tablespoon of butter A sprinkle of both salt and pepper 2-4 Tbsp. of fresh chives for garnish Wash cauliflower then chop and steam until well-cooked and soft, about 10 minutes. If necessary, pat dry to remove any extra moisture. In a bowl with a hand blender or in a food processor, purée the hot cauliflower with the other ingredients (except chives). Serve as a side dish and garnish with chives. Optional, if you like the flavour add a clove of fresh or roasted garlic to this recipe.

Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL
This year will be an important chapter in your life. You will make progress once you convince others that you mean business. Take advantage of the opportunities that arise, and prove how capable and versatile you are in order to gain the respect of influential individuals. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Make an effort to control your emotions. Getting involved in a shouting match over something trivial will only compound your problems. Compromise, moderation and simplicity are the keys to your success.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A relative or close friend will need your help. Offer support and guidance. You may be asked to act as a go-between regarding difficulties with legal or authority figures.

Your persuasive personality will allow you to get others to accept your ideas and follow your lead. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Someone is setting you up to fail. Don’t believe everything you hear.

Bridge by Phillip Alder ONE THING CAN LEAD TO ANOTHER Rene Descartes, a French mathematician, philosopher and writer, said, “(Intuition and deduction are) the two operations on which we have said we must rely in the acquisition of knowledge.” At the bridge table, we make deductions and sometimes use intuition. A few deals involve making one deduction and using that to draw a second deduction. Today’s is an example. South jumps into six spades. West leads the heart king. How should declarer plan the play? After North made a gameinvitational limit raise, South knew that a grand slam would be good if his partner held the spade king, heart
king and diamond queen. But since he had no way to find out if North had that perfecto, South sensibly took a shot at six spades. The contract looks too easy. Draw trumps, run the diamonds and claim an overtrick. But rather than plunge recklessly forward, South should wonder what might go wrong. The only danger is a bad split in each pointed suit. If diamonds are 4-0, there will be a loser only if East has all four. If spades are 3-0, declarer can avoid a loser by guessing which opponent is long in the suit and finessing through him. South should assume he has a diamond loser. But if East has four diamonds, who is likely to be long in spades?
Right -- West. So, after taking the first trick with his heart ace, declarer should cash his spade ace. Here, when East discards, South plays a spade to dummy’s jack, cashes the spade king, throws his heart five on the club ace and concedes a diamond trick when they do break 4-0.

LANG
Bette Ann 1942 - 2014 Bette Ann Lang (Beckwith) passed away after a courageous and lengthy battle with cancer on June 25, 2014. She will be loving remembered by her Son Jason and Daughter-in-law Jodie, Grand-Daughter Shellaine, Grandson Quaid all of Falkland, Mother-in-law Ora of Athabasca AB, her Brother Bill (Frankie) of Kelowna, Mike (June) of Mission, Brother-in-law Mel and Sister-in-law Sherry of Athabasca AB), Nieces - Jodie (Mick) and Briana and Nephew Colin (Stacy). She was predeceased by her one true love and Husband Ken in 2004, Nephew Jamie, and her beloved dog and faithful companion Sally. Bette was born on September 24, 1942 in Vancouver BC to Beatrice and Maury Beckwith. She followed her true calling and became a very dedicated school teacher and as many of her former students can attest did it with true passion and heart. Even after her retirement she could still often be found volunteering at the elementary school in Falkland or helping her Grandchildren. Because of Ken’s career in the RCMP, Ken and Bette had to relocate often, taking them from Prince George, Fraser Lake, Kamloops, Vernon and to Falkland. They decided to build their last home in Falkland where they could be near their family and keep a watchful eye over the grandkids Shellaine and Quaid who brought them their greatest joy in life. Bette was very happy with the everlasting bonds and friendships that she made in life, and had many wonderful friends. She enjoyed the groups that she belonged to including “The Lunch Bunch” and she loved volunteering and spending time with the ladies at the Historical Park. She seemed to make an impact on every person that she seemed to meet. The family would like to thank Dr. Gavin Smart for the friendship, care and compassion that he not only gave to Bette, but also to the family. We would also like to thank the staff and even many of the other patients at Polson North for their wonderful care. We just can’t say enough great things about the care that you have shown all of us during this time. There will be a celebration of life for Mom on Friday July 4th at 11am in the Falkland Community Hall. In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make a donation (as per her request) to the Falkland Historical Park.

O
n this occasion of The Morning Star’s 26th anniversary I have to share a story of how much has changed in the newspaper industry. Actually I’m going to go way back to when I was a youngster in Vernon and delivering The Vancouver Sun on my green Mustang bike to the 25 or 30 people spread out over East Hill and the BX. You see The Sun was an afternoon paper in Vancouver in the ‘70s (basically no such thing as an afternoon paper anymore) and then it was trucked up to the Interior where it became a morning paper, as in the next day’s paper. So, I got up early every day, six days a week, to deliver yesterday’s news to my customers (which meant I had to deliver on holidays like Christmas because it was the Christmas Eve paper etc.). Although newspapers were bigger then and sometimes the only source of national and international news, can you imagine people paying for that service today? When if it isn’t on the Web in 15 minutes or less it’s no longer considered ‘breaking news.’ I might be exaggerating slightly. My point is, thanks to technology, everything’s a lot faster these days and the expectations on most industries aren’t far behind and we do our best to fulfill our duties online and in print best we can. We still get the news to the community, we just do it in a variety of ways, from newsprint to the Web, to Twitter to Facebook to..... And thanks to digital technology we can do that better, and faster of course, than ever before. I remember when The Morning Star started, the only way we could publish

colour photos in the paper was to get separations done in Kelowna, which was at least a two-day turnaround, and which also meant front page photos were planned and not exactly timely. However, what hasn’t changed around here are some of the talented people who still work very hard to bring an award-winning newspaper to our North Okanagan readers three times a week. I still like the paper product the best and I know I’m not alone (check any bulletin board near you) – long live newspapers. Creative consultant Deb Moore and I just celebrated 25 years with Black Press and senior reporter Richard Rolke and marketing consultant Lynnaya Filbrandt are on the verge of their silver anniversaries here at The Morning Star. It’s dedication and experience like this, and represented by so many others here at the paper and the press plant, that helps us to keep on top of things around these parts and bring you a community newspaper that we hope everyone appreciates. Thanks to all the readers and advertisers for their incredible support over the years and here’s to enjoying whatever the future, technologically and otherwise, may bring our way in the North Okanagan.

ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Every once in a while, though not as often as he wishes, Brad Moore still picks up a camera and snaps away. Photography, family and the great outdoors are all outlets for the 51-year-old Vernon native, a former Morning Star photographer who is now a staff sergeant with Calgary City Police. “I still take pictures but not as much as I’d like to,” said Moore, driving home from the office in Calgary. “Photography is still an escape for me to get away and have some fun. That and fishing.” A husband to Sheri, father to three daughters – all born in Vernon while he was working for The Morning Star – and now a first-time grandfather, Moore had always entertained the notion of being a police officer. His parents would have friends who were Vernon RCMP members over to their East Hill home when he was growing up. But Moore was a hockey player. And a good one. He played junior hockey in B.C. and Saskatchewan before enrolling in business administration at Red Deer College, where he also played hockey. It was on a hockey excursion from Red
Deer to Europe that Moore’s interest in photography was piqued. “We were going to Russia, Sweden and Finland for 10 days so I decided I needed to learn how to take pictures,” said Moore. “I grabbed a camera, started taking pictures and loved it.” After completing his business administration degree, Moore enrolled in the fouryear photojournalism program at Calgary’s Alberta College of Art and Design. Upon graduation, he returned home to Vernon where he discovered then-Morning Star photographer Murray Mitchell was on the verge of switching over to the Vernon Daily News. “Murray told me about it so I called (then-publisher Kendall) Don,” said Moore. “I applied for the job, came out for an interview and got it, and had a little more than 10 years of fun working for The Morning Star.” In his decade at the community newspaper, Moore would win five company, provincial and national awards for his photography skills. Asked if any photos or events stand out in his mind, he couldn’t narrow things down to one specific event. “There were the mass (Gakhal) murders, and in sports there was shooting races at

Silver Star and the 1990 Centennial Cup tournament,” said Moore, who snapped Cam Sylven’s national championship winning goal in overtime for the Vernon Lakers. But it was covering an RCMP training style session at the army camp for a feature in the paper that Moore got that same feeling he had as a kid: that being a police officer would be a cool career. “I thought, ‘Yeh, this is something I want to do’ so I started planning for it,” said Moore, changing professions at age 37. Moore completed Calgary City Police training and began his law enforcement career as a patrol member in the city’s south-
west district. From there, he joined the general investigation section on break-and-enter detail, went back to the streets for a year, then applied for and received a spot in the drug unit, where Moore spent two-and-a-half years. He was promoted to detective and worked in major crimes covering robbery and homicide. Moore would then spend two years as an executive officer working for the deputy chief of bureau of community policing before being promoted to staff sergeant. Today, Moore is a staff sergeant in the department’s general investigation section.

A pedestrian is hit by a semi truck on Vernon’s Hospital Hill in the middle of the afternoon. Less than an hour after the accident, The Morning Star has alerted readers about the incident, and that the roadway has been closed in one direction, re-routing traffic around the — Ian scene. The alert comes on the newspaper’s website, www.vernonmorningstar. com. “We know that information is readily available and, basically, at everyone’s fingertips, so it’s important for us to let our readers know about major events right away,” said Morning Star publisher Ian Jensen. The actual newspaper product remains,
and will always be, The Morning Star’s top priority, but a push to get stories out in advance online has been encouraged by Black Press. It doesn’t mean a reader will get the full story before it comes out in print. “We will give the reader a teaser about a story and ask them to read the full story in the paper,” said Morning Star managing editor Glenn Mitchell. Jensen Each issue is uploaded by staff to the paper’s website and every story appears online, in full, the same day the paper comes out. On the website, under The Morning Star banner, is a grey bar that features the tabs where you’ll find the paper’s stories under their respective headings, such as news, sports, community, lifestyles, entertainment and business.

The contest tab, in the top right corner, gives readers a chance to win prizes from gift cards and gift certificates, to tickets to local events such as plays at the Performing Arts Centre or Vernon Vipers’ hockey games. “The contests have proven to be a big hit with the online readers,” said Jensen. “We’ve had tons of interest in such contests as Vernon’s best hamburger and pizza.” If, for whatever reason, you don’t get a paper delivered to your home, and you fancy reading local news online, The Morning Star’s issues can be found on the website under e-editions.

Striving to be Morning Star Staff
THE
So close to being the best. The Morning Star finished second in the 2014 B.C. Lottery Corporation Newspaper Excellence Award for its circulation category (91,000) by only a quarter of a point at the annual B.C. Yukon Community Newspaper Association’s Ma Murray Community Newspaper Awards, held at Richmond’s River Rock Resort. North Vancouver’s North Shore News edged out The Morning Star, 88.50 to 88.25, in scoring by the category judge. The Abbotsford News, like The Morning Star, a Black Press publication, placed third. The Morning Star finished third in the same category a year ago. “A clean, crisp and comprehensive news package with good photographs and strong sports coverage,” wrote the judge about The Morning Star’s entry. “Well-designed, well-written, and relevant, The Morning Star also has a healthy classified section and op-ed section, both of which show strong community involvement.
Good work.” Said Morning Star publisher Ian Jensen, who collected the award along with man-
aging editor Glenn Mitchell: “It’s a great honour to be a top-three finalist two years in a row, but that shows the dedication and
hard work every single person at the paper puts into the product. And I know we’re going to continue to strive to be the best in the province.” There are 11 judging criteria for 100 available points in the general excellence category. The Morning Star finished ahead of the North Shore News in five categories and three items were tied. Morning Star reporter/photographer Roger Knox was a finalist in the best sports photo (circulation 25,000 and over) category, and his shot of a runner stumbling at the finish line at the elementary track and field championships placed third. The BCYCNA has been hosting the Ma Murray Community Newspaper Awards for almost a century. Dedicated to celebrating excellence amongst its member newspapers, the accolades recognize all aspects of the newspaper industry, including production, publishing, reporting, editing, advertising, photography, website design and community contribution.
We are bustling with new builds and renovations!

COMPOSITE DECKING
The only maintenance required is the occasional wash. Unframed and prefinished. Other colours in stock at regular price.
Composite has never looked better. Armadillo’s “hardshell” is permanently fused to its composite core. The unique composition of the outer layer provides better control over pigmentation, resulting in a denser, richer color, more variation and a more realistic look. Armadillo’s hard exterior shrugs off scuffs, stains & boasts superior resistance to fading. • 20 year manufacturer’s warranty including 2 year defective parts replacement warranty • 5/4” x 6” - 12’, 16’ & 20’
