A wall of flames roars through the grandstand at Kin Race Track on 43rd Avenue Wednesday at about 11:30 p.m. Look for a video at vernonmorningstar.com.

Blaze leaves Kin grandstand in rubble RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A roaring fire has complicated the future of Vernon’s Kin Race Track. Flames consumed most of the track’s grandstand Wednesday night, creating a new challenge for the Okanagan Equestrian Society, which has been fighting a legal battle to maintain access to the site. “We will discuss our various options,” said Ed Woolley, society spokesperson, adding that the group’s executive will meet next week and the insurance policy is being reviewed. “If we rebuild, is it at the same spot or of the same nature (of structure)? I can’t speculate on what options we will go with because I don’t know what our options are.” It was just on Tuesday that the society had announced cancellation of Vernon Racing Days for the summer because electrical upgrades ordered by the B.C. Safety Authority to the grandstand were too costly. The society stated it wanted to focus on a resolution to the ongoing dispute with the City of Vernon and the Regional District of North Okanagan to use the property. Investigators aren’t linking the fire cause to the legal wranglings. “It has a political past and issues that way but there’s no hard evidence,” said Lawrie Skolrood, Vernon deputy fire chief, adding that he needs to confirm if grandstand electricity was turned off.

Investigators go over the scene of the Kin Race Track grandstand fire Thursday morning. The police admit they are aware of the court case involving the race track. “All of those things will tie together in the investigation,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. However, investigators are trying to determine if the blaze is the latest in the recent rash of arsons in the area. “We will be looking at that and working with the RCMP,” said Jack Blair, deputy fire

chief. B.C. Safety Authority staff were on scene to consider possible non-suspicious causes. Public assistance is being sought as part of the investigation. “We know there were a number of witnesses who saw the fire. If they have video or copies of photos, we’d like to see them,” said Molendyk. “It would help us identify where the fire

started. We’d like to get to the bottom of the fire.” The exact age of the grandstand is not known but society members believe it was constructed between the 1960s and 1980s. “It was old but it wasn’t heritage,” said Woolley. There was little firefighters could do to save the structure from the flames. “It was so far advanced when the crews got here. They were looking at exposures and trying to contain the fire,” said Skolrood. When asked if the building will be demolished, Skolrood said, “There’s no doubt in my mind it will. There’s not much left.” The City of Vernon owns the race track property, but maintenance of the grandstand has been the society’s responsibility. “Provided the site is safe to the public and users, I see no reason why the loss of the grandstand would void the existing contract with the city,” said Will Pearce, the city’s chief administrative officer. “The city had advised the society that it may wish to conduct a professional assessment on the structural condition before further public use. In previous discussions with the society, the city was advised that if the grandstand was not usable, the society would make arrangements for portable seating stands.” Pearce says there’s no clause in the original agreement between the society and the city that requires a grandstand.

Natural gas leak forces evacuation richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Emergency personnel were left with a potentially dangerous situation in a downtown Vernon neighbourhood. At about 10 a.m. Wednesday, a natural gas main was ruptured during road construction at 27th Avenue and 35th Street. That forced 72 residents out of the Ukrainian Village apartments while other neighbours were urged to stay inside and seal their doors and windows. “Natural gas can be toxic at certain levels and it was getting into the Ukrainian Village,” said Lawrie Skolrood, Vernon deputy fire chief. Another issue was the natural gas vapour being ignited. “We were also concerned about the gas contacting a pilot light (and starting a fire).” Fortis workers were on scene downtown immediately. “The crew is turning the valves off and that stops the flow of gas through the pipe and prevents the leak,” said Michael Allison, Fortis spokesperson, Wednesday. To try and bring the situation under control, Fortis B.C. shut off gas and electricity to 317 customers from 34th to 41st streets and 24th, 25th and 27th avenues at about 11:35 a.m By 1:30 p.m., the gas line break was contained and residents could return to their homes. Electrical power was restored by 3:15 p.m. and Fortis B.C. crews continued with repairs. Customers were without gas until late Wednesday until all repairs were done. “The main issue we are concerned with is safety,” said Allison.

Retired RCMP officer mourned richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Staff at the Vernon RCMP detachment are remembering a respected colleague. Blair Imrie, 62, died in a motor vehicle accident in northern California Tuesday. He was a retired RCMP officer and had been the city’s records manager at the local detachBlair Imrie ment between 1999 and 2012. “The mood at the detachment is very sombre especially among the people who worked with him every day,” said Gord

Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. Because of his career experience, the Coldstream resident was someone staff at the detachment turned to for advice. “He was very knowledgeable,” said Molendyk. According to the City of Vernon, Imrie’s wife and two daughters, who are both RCMP employees, are receiving support from family and friends. At about 12:14 p.m. Tuesday, Imrie was driving his Kawasaki motorcycle eastbound on the Oro Quincy Road Highway, near Quincy, Calif. According to the California Highway Patrol, Imrie was attempting to negotiate a right to left curve when he went on to the gravel shoulder and into a ditch.

From there, he ultimately went into a culvert drainage and collided with a rock embankment. Imrie was thrown from the motorcycle and the vehicle fell on top of him. “Some passing citizens and his friends stopped and lifted the Kawasaki off Imrie,” states a release from the California Highway Patrol. “His friends immediately started CPR on Imrie due to his lack of pulse. Shortly after, a Forest Service fire truck with firefighters stopped and assisted with CPR. After several minutes of CPR, Imrie was unable to be revived and succumbed to his injuries.” Police believe speed may have been a factor in the accident.

Officials make water pledge

e r e h s ’ r e m Sum U R A B U S K N I TH

Morning Star Staff

With the heat of summer here, the valley’s elected officials are asking residents to take the pledge to make water work. Make Water Work is an effort by the Okanagan Basin Water Board’s Okanagan WaterWise program and local government and water utility partners to encourage outdoor water conservation during hot Okanagan summers, when most water is used. Several valley mayors and councillors have taken the pledge. “Some residents use less Doug Findlater water, especially if they’re on a meter, but we still are using more than what is sustainable,” said Doug Findlater, OBWB chairperson. “It’s for this reason we launched Make Water Work – to show that there are simple ways to save water and make it work more effectively and efficiently.” The average Canadian uses 329 litres of water each day. In the Okanagan, the average is 675 litres when averaged out over the year. The summer average in the Okanagan climbs to almost 1,000 litres. Twenty four per cent of all Okanagan Valley water is used by residents mostly on lawns and gardens. There is less water available per person in the valley than anywhere else in Canada. Make Water Work provides residents with tips to get the most from their water, such as watering between dusk and dawn to prevent evaporation, and putting where it’s needed – on plants, not pavement. Many are simple tips that can make a huge difference, saving water for the things that matter to us most as residents of this valley – water for crops, for fish, and even firefighting. Residents can take the pledge at www. MakeWaterWork.ca. Anyone who takes the pledge is entered for a chance to win $5,000 in WaterWise yard upgrades.

Meals on Wheels needs help Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Meals on Wheels is looking for assistance. The program, which is operated by the Schubert Centre, delivers meals to seniors, convalescents and the disabled in their homes. “What I need desperately are volunteers for Fridays,” said Deanna Toporchak, Meals on Wheels co-ordinator. “I am short anywhere from two to eight volunteers on the Fridays in July so this is quite a serious situation. I would hate to think that we would have to cancel deliveries on Fridays.” Toporchak says she had enough volunteers but summer holidays and illness have impacted the schedule. “Currently we have 52 clients in need of meal delivery every Monday, Wednesday and Friday,” she said. “The numbers are constantly changing due to those being released from hospital and needing

meals, then recovering and no longer needing meals and some of our clients have been admitted into long-term care facilities,” she said. “But that is what the program is all about, providing meals for those who presently cannot look after themselves.” Anyone who is interested in volunteering for the Meals on Wheels program, can call Toporchak at 250-542-9229 or the Schubert Centre at 250-5494201. “We think the Schubert Centre is providing a valuable service to the community at a nominal cost to those in need, but we cannot do it without the volunteers,” said Toporchak.

It’s not known if mischief was the motive for a Lavington fire. At about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, the Lavington Fire Department received a report of a dumpster fire at Lavington Way and School Road, but it actually turned out to be a pile of burning books on the road. “It was extinguished by the time we got there,” said Mike Fiset, fire chief. “It was sitting there smouldering. It burned itself out.” It’s not known where the books came from. Firefighters dumped some water on the debris just to make sure the flames were completely out. “There was no danger of the fire spreading,” said Fisit, who understands why a resident reported the blaze. “It’s getting hot and dry out there and people are being pretty cautious.”

The beat(ing) of Brazil

et’s flashback to February 2010. The Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Gold medal hockey game. Canada versus the U.S.A. We all know what happened. Damn Americans scored in the final minute to force overtime, causing a nation’s collective blood pressure to rise rapidly. Fortunately, we – Canada – were rescued in overtime by Sidney Crosby, who scored to give Canada the gold medal over its arch rivals. Euphoria ensued. Molson’s sales skyrocketed. British Columbians hugged Albertans. Ontarians high-fived Quebecois. Imagine if Canada had lost the game. Then we would know how anybody Roger Knox from Brazil feels. Of course, we are talking about Tuesday’s epic soccer (or football) fail from the hosts of the 2014 World Cup tournament. If you missed it – and, granted, not everybody loves soccer (or football) – Brazil suffered the worst defeat in its World Cup history. Germany 7 Brazil 1. And this coming from the South American nation that has won more World Cup titles (five) than any other country in the event’s 84-year history (tournament is played every four years, like the Olympics). In the semifinal, no less. One win away from playing for world supremacy on its home pitch. The Germans scored as many goals in the first 30 minutes of the match – four – as Brazil had allowed in its first five tournament games. It was 5-0 at the half, with Brazil scoring its lone goal in the final minute to avoid further embarrassment by being shut out. Canada is to hockey as Brazil is to soccer (or football). We like to think of ourselves as the best hockey nation on the planet. Brazil thinks it’s the best soccer (or football) nation on Earth (though the Germans, three-time World Cup champions, Italy, who have won the gold trophy four times and England – once – might argue differently).

AT RANDOM

Brazil was supposed to dominate this tournament while playing at home. No European team has ever won the World Cup on South American soil. Sure, the hosts played Tuesday without their Sidney Crosby – the multi-talented Neymar, injured in the quarterfinal – and without their captain (suspended for the game because of two yellow card penalties picked up during the tournament). But Brazil could have had Pele, Ronaldo and several others of its all-time World Cup team on the pitch against Germany Tuesday and it wouldn’t have mattered. Trust me, I’m no soccer (or football) afficionado. I cringe when I hear the sport referred to as the ‘beautiful game,’ then watch players get bumped and roll to the ground – and keep rolling – like they’ve been fired out of a cannon. I fail to see the beauty in that. But what the Germans did to Brazil Tuesday, to me, was play an almost perfect game. They dominated the hosts in every aspect. Reaction in Germany to the romp of Brazil was mixed. While most were celebrating, a great number of German fans wished the score hadn’t been so high. The Wall Street Journal had a reporter speak to 1980s German goalkeeping legend Harald Schumacher, who said 4-0 would have been enough. “You get a guilty conscience inflicting such humiliation on hosts,” he told the reporter. Imagine if the Americans had done that to Canada in Vancouver in hockey? Either the men’s or women’s final. There might have been some tears, but we would be, er, miffed, to understate, at the Americans for running up the score. There were stunning images Tuesday of Brazilian fans bawling their eyes out. Soccer (or football) fans are nothing if not passionate about their country’s national squads, like Canadians are about the good ol’ hockey game. Hopefully, Sunday’s World Cup final between Germany and Argentina is an epic game. The Brazilians get one more chance to save face as they play in the third place game against the Netherlands. They’re going to need a tremendous effort to make fans forget Black Tuesday. Because right now, that’s all people are going to remember about World Cup 2014.

The statements on the MakeWaterWork.ca website are alarming in themselves. Did you know? n 24 per cent of all Okanagan water is used outside our homes – mostly on lawns and gardens. n There is less water available per person in the Okanagan than anywhere else in Canada. n The average person in the Okanagan uses 675 litres of water each day. The average Canadian uses 329. It’s no wonder then that several Okanagan mayors and councillors have taken the pledge to make water work. An initiative by the Okanagan Basin Water Board’s Okanagan WaterWise program, it only makes sense for everyone involved that we encourage outdoor water conservation during hot Okanagan summers. And their timing is perfect, as you may have noticed the mercury has been climbing of late and is scheduled to stay there for the foreseeable future. Make Water Work provides residents with tips to get the most of outdoor watering, like only sprinkling between dusk and dawn and only where it’s needed, that is on plants and lawns, not pavement. Certainly the higher price of H2O has already led many to conserve more and water their lawns less but it doesn’t hurt to have added incentive to preserve our most precious resource. It’s good for community leaders to take the plunge, so to speak, but we encourage all Okanagan Valley residents to also take the pledge at www.MakeWaterWork.ca to truly make a difference in our quest to use much less than we do now. And it doesn’t hurt that by taking the pledge can earn you $5,000 in WaterWise yard upgrades. Let’s all do our best to make the Okanagan a great place to live for decades to come.

chased. Yes, there will be maintenance costs. The costs can be minimized by construction of a high-quality trail, which is one of the assumptions of the cost estimates provided in the previous paragraph. Ongoing maintenance can be accomplished through raising money from individuals and businesses, accessing revenue sources from the operations of the trail, leasing unused portions of the right of way, or having each section of trail maintained by volunteers and/ or some level of government. The operating authority will likely access all of these revenue sources and maintenance strategies. The ORT hired local economic development experts to assess potential benefits of the rail trail. Their full report can be found at www. okanaganrailtrail.ca/resources. The three companies that collaborated to complete the assessment are wellestablished, credible organizations that have conducted many socio-economic assessments in the past. Their

clOse calls My son's Grade 11/12 gym class went biking recently for the first time. In two hours, there were three near misses with vehicles where drivers were not paying attention or sharing the road. A driver ran a stop sign, almost hitting the teacher and a couple of students. Another driver was waiting at a four-way stop and decided to proceed while there were bikes crossing the intersection. The scariest was the driver speeding down Okanagan Avenue who moved into the bike lane while going around a corner forcing a youth to swerve into the curb, launching the youth off his bike and onto the grass, which thankfully prevented him from sliding down the hill. The kids were all in the bike lane, on the right side

Rail trail group responds

n response to Garry Haas’ letter in The Morning Star, the letter raises some important questions that need to be considered prior to dedicating public funds to such a project. With respect to the cost of acquisition, this will ultimately be established in negotiations between governments and CN and perhaps the Okanagan Indian Band. This negotiation will determine if the corridor is purchased, the price, and how it will be used. The Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative (ORT), a group of volunteers and supporters, is suggesting that this corridor be preserved for future use as a transportation corridor and, more immediately, a community pathway connecting the north and central Okanagan. The Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative has taken on the task of gathering information to assist in an effective decision-making process, including a benefits analysis. We think that securing the property as public land is a once-only opportunity to benefit our communities. Without knowing the final price, the full costbenefit cannot be determined at this time. We can however estimate some of the costs and benefits. The ORT is working on determining the cost to convert the rail bed into a usable pathway. At the moment it is estimated that it will fall between $5 and 7 million. The ORT thinks, and will take actions to ensure, that much of this money will be raised from infrastructure grants, individuals, businesses and other organizations once the corridor has been pur-

analysis is based on similar studies of other rail trails, using 43 reference documents and interviews with 25 key informants. When estimating the use of the trail, the analysis team divided the trail into 14 sections and estimated each section by user group. The estimates were based on usage of other similar trails, current traffic in other parks in the Okanagan, tourism data and trends for the Okanagan, and current use and estimates of the rail with trail section constructed in Kelowna. As it takes a few years for residents and visitors to learn of the trail, the number of users increases over time. The research team estimates that by year five, there will be 583,000 visits each year resulting in an additional direct increase in spending of $6.7 million per year. They estimate that this will create 66 full-time equivalent jobs. ORT thinks that, due to the high summer temperatures in the valley, much of the use of the trail by visitors will be in the shoulder seasons. A group from Vernon doing the Katie

of the road, riding single file and, thankfully, wearing helmets. The driver was not even courteous enough to stop and ensure the youth was okay or that there was no damage to the bike. Please remind drivers that there are cyclists out there and cars can kill. No one wants to have another tragedy. Janice Richardson blue bOxes Yes, we are so lucky to live in this province in this country that is really trying to recycle, but still many people are complaining about the new blue boxes. If you can't carry them, get a wagon or buy less packaging or ask a neighbour for help. Have you travelled to other countries that just

trail in Missouri this year has planned their trip for late September for this reason. Both the north and central Okanagan have considerable excess capacity in the shoulder seasons -empty hotel rooms and unfilled restaurants. In other areas where rail trails have been developed, when the hotels and other infrastructure have not met the demand by customers, businesses have filled the need. This includes not only campgrounds, hotels, B&Bs, and restaurants, but also bicycle rental shops, tour guides and other support services. With regard to Hass’ concern about increased traffic, we think that it is important to separate pedestrian and cyclist traffic from automobiles and transport trucks. The rail trail should reduce traffic congestion and will certainly improve the safety of cyclists and will encourage nonmotorized travel. The operator of the trail has yet to be determined. If the corridor is purchased and designated a community pathway, at that time those involved will likely make an informed decision as to what organization is best situated to operate the trail. ORT thinks that municipal and provincial government, and/or the Okanagan Indian Band will make an informed decision that is in the best interest of our communities. The ORT will support the process of determining the future of this corridor in any way that best serves our community. Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative

throw all of it away? Many U.S. states just dump it all, including tons of aluminum cans. How about the Third World? Those countries have no garbage pick up, never mind recycling. What happens to it? The plastic is often burned at the roadside giving off black, toxic smoke. Or it ends up in the rivers. So, yes we are lucky to live here. We changed the way things are done with the deposit and return system we now use, and accept, for beverage containers. Quit complaining and adjust to this new and better blue box system. We owe it to the environment, to ourselves, and to the next generation. Reduce, reuse, recycle and rethink the way things are done. clint Field

RecyclIng blues Thanks to our new recycle program with the blue boxes, our 11-unit apartment no longer has recycle pickup. It appears they did not anticipate the problems caused by apartment dwellers. The landlord in my apartment will not pay for the larger recycle bins, so therefore, no one in my apartment have recycle pick up anymore. Most don't drive to take it to the recycle depot, so it will all end up in the garbage. Very Sad. Rita Montgomery

Community forest identified

y l F i un m a F DAY!

Morning Star Staff

There’s increased awareness about Cherryville’s role in forestry. Five timber frame signs have been installed to mark the access points to Cherryville’s community forest. They feature Waldo the woodpecker. “The pileated woodpecker requires a specific ecosystem with mature stands of conifers,” said Hank Cameron, with the Cherry Ridge Management Committee, which oversees the community forest. “These energetic birds consume large numbers of ants and bark beetles, so they are a biologic asset and represent Cherryville as a lively mascot for our cause.” These solid signs were modeled after the Welcome to Cherryville sign built by Lee Laviolette in 2012. Kerri Parnell led a collaborative panel design process and Travis Viret milled the lumber with assistance from Jackson Wood and Eugene Foisy. The structural wood came from Douglas fir trees salvage harvested on Cherry Ridge by Lance Harvey and Toni Paul. The yellow cedar roof shingles were

Edsel Fleury is the superintendent of the Fenceline Road upgrade on Cherry Ridge. Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, recently participated in the unveiling of the signs. “Eric has advocated for the proposed expansion of Cherryville community forest in the government caucus where he is the whip, and to Forests Minister Steve Thomson,” sad Cameron. Foster will be in Cherryville

Monday with senior forestry staff to view CRMC’s stand management, silviculture, and salvage harvest projects. “He has advocated for Cherryville to manage adjacent areas of Cherry Ridge above private land holdings,” said Cameron. “He recognizes our interests as a community and that CRMC is qualified to manage the interface zone between our private holdings and the industrialized forest.”

Housing construction remains steady. There were 12 housing starts in Vernon during June, down from 13 units during the same month in 2013. All of the 12 starts were single-detached units. “The housing starts trend levelled out, edging slightly lower in June as expected,” said Sarena Teakles, a Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation senior market analyst. Year-to-date, there have been 95 housing starts in Vernon, up from 81 units during the same six-month period in 2013. The 95 starts consist of 71 single-detached units and 24 multiple units.

Solutions included changes to forestry and road building practices, access to water for cattle, and increased enforcement of offroad vehicles and camping around reservoirs. The response plan is the most extensive in the Interior. Its collaborative approach is an example for others in B.C. to identify gaps, conflicts and solutions in their own watersheds.”

The Buy Local! Buy Fresh! Okanagan Map details where local produce is grown and sold.

Map highlights local produce Morning Star Staff

Efforts have been made up and down the valley to map out fresh, local food. Buy Local B.C. and the Okanagan Greens Society have introduced the second annual Buy Local! Buy Fresh! Okanagan Map. The maps were introduced to the public at the Vernon Farmers Market recently. “We chose to launch the new maps in Vernon,” said Buy Local B.C. founder Shayne Wright. “It is one of the best markets you will find anywhere, and was named market of the year in B.C. last year.” Vernon Farmers Market manager Ingrid Baron appreciates the continued quality of the maps, noting also that, “they are informative, colourful, and easy-to-read.” After the popularity of last year’s first ever edition, this season more hard copy maps were printed, which now cover the Similkameen Valley and Osoyoos beginning with this new 2014 edition. It includes more than 60 participants including 35 farms and about 20 local food businesses, events, and local attractions. Free copies of the maps are being offered at most visitor centres and hotels, and at many participating businesses throughout the Okanagan Valley. For more information, locations to pick up printed maps, and to view the online listings, visit buylocalokanagan.ca

Tigers hot in opener YLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff

The Armstrong Shamrocks couldn’t escape the heat inside the air-conditioned Kal Tire Place. The Vernon Source for Sports Tigers blasted the Shamrocks 11-1 in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League playoff action Tuesday night. Game 2 went Thursday night in Armstrong at Hassen Arena. Game 3 in the best-of-five goes 7:30 p.m. Saturday night at Kal Tire Place. “It was a good start. Our guys played a hard 60 minutes, we stuck to our game plan and were disciplined,” said Tigers’ coach Keith Hanna. The Tigers pounced on the Rocks early when Ryan Sarazin scored 15 seconds in, and extended the lead to 5-0 in the first 10 minutes on goals from Darrell Landels, Jordan Orr, Liam MacPhee and Quintin Harrish. “Vernon is a bit intimidating. When you are the underdogs and you’re down five after the first 10, you get a bit tentative,” said Shamrocks’ coach Brett Logan. The Irish got on the board with 1:15 remaining in the first when assistant captain Drew Hassard picked out the bottom right corner, from Cole MacFarlane. “I told them to forget

about the score and focus on the smaller things, like winning battles. I thought we came out better in the second,” said Logan. Landels and Orr recorded their second on the night, and Connor Buick and Braden Barr added singles in the second. “We tried to dominate in all aspects of the game,” said Hanna. “This game is hard and you’re going to take punishment, but we need to work through it and be onside with a team game.” The Shamrocks swapped goalies seven minutes into the second. MacFarlane has been battling a hip issue lately, and was relieved by Kalvin Davyduke, who was cleared for the series after missing the last month with concussionlike symptoms. He was tested early when Sarazin rang one off the bar. Davyduke looked sharp the rest of the night with several big saves. The Rocks are without their second and third leading scorers for the series. Sam Hanley and Marlon Forrest are in Cuba. The pair combined for 32 goals on the years. Tigers’ defender Brock Wagner sniped his first career goal in the third period. Hanna pocketed the ball and presented it to Wagner

Knights name new bench boss ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

TYLER LOWEY/MORNING STAR

Vernon Tigers forward Connor Buick (right) makes a few moves in front of Armstrong Shamrocks defender Cam Nelson and the Shamrocks net during Game 1 of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League playoffs Tuesday night at Kal Tire Place. The Tigers thumped the Shamrocks 11-1. after the game. He has played two seasons for the Tigers. Bayne Bosquet added another midway through the third. The Shamrocks organization came to the conclusion that they wanted to experience a playoff atmosphere in Hassen

Arena, hence the move for Game 2 from the Nor-Val Sports Centre. “Armstrong is a closeknit community and hopefully that benefits us. We need to take the energy from the fans and put it on the floor and give Vernon a run for their money,” said Logan.

Added Hanna: “We are fine with playing in Hassen. We practised there for the beginning of our year so we are used to it.” The Kamloops Venom doused the South Okanagan Flames 22-6 in Game 1 of the other series.

The North Okanagan Knights want to reinforce its community presence for the 2014-15 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League season. To that end, the team’s board of directors has announced a new head coach with the same thought process. Vernon’s Jim Armstrong, a minor hockey coach for 19 years, takes over as the Knights bench boss from Shawn Webb, who tendered his resignation in May. “We’ve been quite successful on-ice for two or three years now, and Jim shares the ideology of the board as far as community involvement, and that’s the emphasis this year,” said Chuck Gallacher, the Knights’ general manager. “We’re a development team on ice, full of 17- and 18-yearolds, and Jim also shares that philosophy. We’re very pleased Jim Armstrong to have him, absolutely. It’s a very positive step for our organization.” The Knights finished fourth in the Okanagan Division last year with a record of 24-26-0-2, but then knocked off the pennant-winning Summerland Steam in seven games in the first round of the playoffs. North Okanagan lost the conference semifinal in five games to the Osoyoos Coyotes. The Knights reached the league final in 2013, losing in five games to the Castlegar Rebels. Armstrong, 48, parts manager at Vernon Volkswagen, returns behind a bench after a year off. His minor hockey resumé includes the Vernon AAA Midget Reps for three years, and he was also an assistant coach for Team Canada’s U20 ball hockey team in 2008 and 2010. “I’m very excited about joining the Knights organization,” said Armstrong. “I’m looking forward to the challenge, transitioning from the minor hockey level to the junior hockey level. “It’s something I’ve been working for and wanting for an awful long time. I’m excited about the chance and the opportunity. I’d also like to thank my bosses, Thomas Brandle and Sam Dhalla, for the opportunity to pursue my hockey passion.” Armstrong has already announced two of his assistant coaches. Jeremy Weibe will look after the defence and Chris Kingdon will be the club’s goalie coach. He still hopes to name a third assistant coach before the team starts its main training camp Aug. 13 at the Nor-Val Sports Centre.

Hartford invites new drag racers Morning Star Staff

Bill Hartford was having trouble cutting lights at last month’s race card at Eagle Motorplex in Ashcroft. The 49-year-old reached 110 miles per hour on the quarter-mile track, but also had serious problems stopping. “My brake pedal shot up in the dashboard and my heart was thumping,” said Hartford, who made some quick adjustments to save a crash. The 2013 Super Pro drag racing champion at Thunder Mountain just east of Kelowna, Hartford will smoke his yellow 1972 Buick tires the rest of the season at Thunder Mountain. He would love to see some new race fans from the North Okanagan attend the weekend cards. The street drags go today (July 11) with racing also Saturday and Sunday. There are other races scheduled for July 25-27, Aug. 22-24 and Sept. 5-7. “Come wander through the pits and talk to the drivers,” said Hartford, who works on the road crew for the District of Coldstream. “If you see me in my pit and I’m not busy, stop in and say ‘hi.’ I’ll let you climb inside the car. Getting out is the fun part.” The Friday night street drags are for anyone with a valid driver’s licence and helmet. The big boys come out to play the rest of the weekend. “Drag racing is very fast-paced sport,” said Hartford. “There is a lot of physics involved. Put this event on your Bucket List. I did and now I’m hooked.” Hartford is sponsored by Lordco Parts after racing for Aamco Transmissions, Hilltop Tirecraft and Sutton Realty last season.

If your dentures shift while chewing or talking and you are tired of those embarrasing moments, consider dental implants for stabilization. Imagine your denture snapping into place, feeling solid and secure. Often a new denture is not necessary. Your existing denture can be made to fit your new implants.

Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL

Previous Solution Sudoku

Take a moment to review your past and present before pursuing the future. You have too much on your plate, and you must channel your energy in the direction that makes the most sense. Modify your schedule and remain focused on your dreams.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Avoid emotional blackmail. Your peers will lose interest if you insist on having everything your way. Honesty, integrity and compromise will be necessary.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Family matters will be confusing or could cause uncertainty. Put your best effort into your work to avoid making impulsive personal changes that are likely to be costly.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) A holiday to a resort, hotel or spa will help keep your mind off your troubles. Making arrangements with someone special will be half the fun.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Prepare to take on a new challenge. Find the sports and recreation facilities in your area and sign up for a new activity. Striving to be your best will lead to both personal and professional advancement.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Spruce up your living space without being extravagant. Applying a coat of paint or moving furniture around to suit your current interests and lifestyle will make a difference in your attitude.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Take a back seat and observe what’s going on around you. Don’t be too quick to make changes prematurely. Keep an open mind and wait until you have a clear picture. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Do whatever it takes mentally and physically to improve your standing, but don’t try to buy support. Extravagance will end up costing you more than you can afford. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) A choice between money and satisfaction will need to be made. Question your motives and just what it is you want out of life. It’s time to re-evaluate matters and make adjustments to suit your needs.

Crossword Puzzle

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You will be emotional today. Try not to let your feelings overflow into the workplace. Professionalism will count when it comes to future advancement.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Treat a business or personal partner respectfully. Think before you say or do something that has the potential to hurt someone’s feelings. Listen to what people say, and show patience and understanding.

Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Keep a close eye on your wallet, assets and personal papers. Your bank account could be compromised if your financial information becomes vulnerable. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Family members will be extremely hard to please today. Get out with colleagues or friends if it will help you avoid a domestic situation that you aren’t prepared to deal with.

Children can’t wait until summer and we can’t wait until Vacation Bible School! We’re going to have so much fun – you don’t want to miss it! We’ll have Bible stories, crafts, games and singing! Just bring a lunch. Thanks to the many great volunteers and a generous congregation.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder TAKE THE RULE BOOK WITH A PINCH OF SALT Jimmy Carter, in his farewell presidential address, said, “Our American values are not luxuries, but necessities -- not the salt in our bread, but the bread itself.” Bridge is full of rules that need to be taken with a large pinch of salt. Always treat each deal on its own merits; do not thoughtlessly assume that the “textbook” play will be right. How does that apply to this deal? South is in three no-trump. West leads his fourth-highest heart. South takes East’s 10 with his king and runs the diamond 10. What should happen after that? South did not like to open

one no-trump with two unstopped suits, but he had no more accurate sequence available. The books recommend returning partner’s suit in notrump -- and it is true that that will be right much more often than not. (In a suit contract, shifting will be better a lot of the time.) But if East does that here, South will take the trick with his heart ace and drive out West’s diamond ace. West may shift to a club, but declarer plays low from the dummy and loses only two diamonds and two clubs. Instead, East should pause for thought at trick three. Surely West has the diamond ace, because if South had that card, he would have cashed it before trying the diamond finesse. And if West

is about to gain the lead, East should see how to defeat the contract. At trick three, he leads his club three. South wins with his 10 and continues diamonds, but West should take the trick and lead his second club. Then East gets three tricks in the suit to defeat the contract.

Lake Country gets grants Morning Star Staff

The District of Lake Country will be receiving nearly $280,000 from the provincial strategic community investment fund, money that can be applied to any projects the district decides. The funding is part of the nearly $74 million being invested by the provincial government into B.C. communities to meet needs, including more policing, new equipment, increased community safety initiatives, infrastructure and service delivery priorities. The district will receive nearly $58,800 in traffic fine revenue, as well as a small community grant worth more than $220,800. “This funding is unconditional, and can be applied to priority projects of the district’s choosing,” Norm Letnick, the MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country. “Since the program’s inception in 2009, Lake Country has received more than $2.3 million to support public safety initiatives and day-to-

Lexus NX!!

DrivewayCanada.ca

Puppets, actors, horses; they’re all at the farm Sarah May Redmond as Judy; Paul Fateux as Oedipus; Lucy Hill as Pretty Polly; Daniel Maslany as Joey the Clown; Treena Stubel as Jack Ketch, The Hangman; Christopher Hunt (also returning from Head Over Heels, and this time will be keeping his trousers on) as Mr. Scaramouche, and Tom Jones as Mr. Pugs, The Shaved Monkey. As in all Caravan productions, the play also features live musicians, in this case performing original tunes written by music director Hank Pine and played by drummer Andrew Taylor, Mishelle Cutler on accordion, and Alfons Fear on trumpet. Set designer Marshall McMahen (who designed Caravan’s last two summer productions) and his team have come up with a vintage circus-like set that takes audiences from the farm’s riding ring to its timber-frame barn. “The journey is a metaphorical one, but we also get the audience to physically go on that journey with Mr. Punch,” said Dobbie. Caravan’s beloved Clydesdales are also part of the show, hauling the set pieces, and the stage, for each scene. (The farm’s newest equine team, Spike and Frenchie, will be taking part in their first summer production at the farm.) “It is a huge spectacle,” said Dobbie. “We have a very talented cast coming from all parts of Canada and visually it’s quite splendid with a vaudeville, cabaret-like stage. The music also brings it all together. And for diehards, they will get the traditional Punch and Judy show.” The Tragical Comedy of Punch and Judy runs at Caravan Farm Theatre (4886 Salmon River Rd. northwest of Armstrong) from July 22 to Aug. 24. Shows take place nightly, except Mondays, rain or shine, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the Ticket Seller box office in the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, or order by calling 250-549-7469 (toll free at 1-866-311-1011) or online at www.ticketseller.ca.

Traditional Punch and Judy show gets turned on its little wooden head when Caravan stages its summer production Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

A raised voice cackles inside the little red and white striped hut with an ornate stage. A wooden figure with a red sugarloaf hat and giant hook-end nose is attempting to babysit his ward while his wife steps out. It doesn’t go well, and chaos ensues when she returns and the slapstick starts flying, hitting all manner of people and things. With its roots in 16th century Italian commedia dell’arte, the puppet spectacle known as Punch and Judy has resonated along the white sand beaches of Britain’s southwest coast to the vaudeville theatres of North America. In 1977, a travelling caravan theatre, with its actors and sets pulled along by horses, staged it around B.C. That tradition is about to be turned on its little wooden head when Caravan Farm Theatre presents this summer’s production, The Tragical Comedy of Punch and Judy. Think giant puppets, actors and horses, or your typical day at the famed outdoor theatre tucked away in the wilds of Spallumcheen. “We take on an archetype of Punch and Judy,” said Caravan’s artistic director Courtenay Dobbie, who is directing the script written by Victoria’s Jacob Richmond. “This show is about the journey of Mr. Punch who goes from being a trickster character to being a kind and compassionate human being.” In other words, Mr. Punch, the misbehaved insolent trickster

Richmond’s interpretation starts with the traditional puppet show (with puppets designed by Caravan stalwart Catherine Hahn), where Mr. Punch and Judy and their cast of characters put on their famous puppet show, as they have for 350 years. The play then morphs into using live actors as Mr. Punch loses Judy to the dashing actor Oedipus Rex. To win her back, he is told by the Devil, of all people, that he must go on a journey that leads him to the depths of humanity. It all ends with a play within a play in the vein of Oedipus Rex, without all that incestuous, murderous stuff. “It’s an evolutionary tale on how

to become a beautiful person,” said Dobbie, adding the story is told as a Greek tragedy and is about someone who takes pleasure in other people’s misery and is forced to see the error of his ways. “Jacob came up with the story, which asks what is beauty. It’s more on the inside than the outside. There is so much now on TV and in movies where they take ugly situations and make money off of people suffering. It asks, ‘how does that happen, and where’s the line?’” The underbelly of the story asks those deep questions, but on the surface it is also funny and incorporates all that Caravan magic, starting with those giant puppets, which are being brought to the farm from Hahn’s studio in Victoria. They include the skeletal figure of Charon, the ferryman, who

leads Mr. Punch to the Land of the Dead after he experiences emotion for the first time. “(Charon) stands 20-feet tall,” said Dobbie, adding the character of Pythia, who serves as the Oracle and leads Punch to his fate, is as tall, while a serpent slithers to 40-feet long. “The whole show is not just puppets. It has live actors, singers, with a cool puppet element. There’s a part where Mr. Punch loses part of his costume and changes into a human.” Mr. Punch’s human form is played by Paul Braunstein while other characters (many of whom will wear masks, also designed by Hahn, and costumes by Carmen Alatorre) include the Devil, played by Colin Doyle (returning after his hilarious turn in last year’s Caravan production of Head Over Heels);

Evil is hard to classify

Deliver Us from evil

ergeant Ralph Sarchie (Eric Bana) of the NYPD is trying to solve a strange mystery involving inexplicable crimes taking place in his city. When it becomes apparent that there is something otherworldly behind Taylor and Howe the crimes, he takes up with an unconventional priest named Mendoza (Edgar Ramirez) to do battle against the much older evil that controls certain New Yorkers. Deliver Us from Evil is based on the true case files of Sarchie’s book. We say, “Apparently, if you’ve seen one exorcism...” TAYLOR: Deliver Us from Evil is not a bad film. It has all the right pieces in the right places. It’s dark, moody, tense and occasionally, a tiny bit scary. It sets itself up quite like a regular crime drama, with nasty business taking place and gritty cops trying to figure out “who done it.” During the course of the

Reel Reviews

Sony PictureS

Sergeant Sarchie (Eric Bana) investigates ancient writing found at a crime scene in Deliver Us from Evil. investigation, Sarchie and his partner Butler (Joel McHale, from Community in his most dramatic, action-packed role to date) keep discovering certain figures that can do the impossible, seeming to have mental powers and superhuman strength. Furthering the mystery is that Sarchie and Butler don’t see things the same way. It seems Sarchie’s “radar” involves a knack for receiving messages from demons. HOWE: I can’t believe they have classed Deliver Us from Evil as a horror. I’ve had to change babies’ nappies scarier

than this. I’m not saying that this is a bad movie, far from it, but when you put it in this class of film it has to have some frightening scenes. Now if they had classed it as a supernatural thriller, because after all that is what it is, it would be up there with White Noise and Mirrors. TAYLOR: Or to put it another way, regardless of what you call the movie, it is at best mediocre. For the record, it is generally accepted that thrillers take place in the real world and horrors involve something supernatural. So a supernatural thriller would be a horror. The

Friday the 13th series would be a thriller, if it wasn’t for the fact that the killer Jason is invincible. Unfortunately Deliver Us from Evil is neither thrilling nor horrifying. HOWE: I found myself laughing at it. Some of the lines are comical as well, as is some of the acting dotted throughout. I can let slide some of it, from the likes of McHale and Ramirez, but when you have someone like Bana leading, I expected more from him. TAYLOR: I don’t expect much from horror films, but I like them. I see them all because it is an opportunity for a film to take you places you wouldn’t want to imagine, in ways that are inventive and interesting. This film is not inventive, nor interesting. It did not annoy me, but that’s really not enough. HOWE: Deliver Us from Evil did keep me entertained from start to finish. But if you’re looking for a good scare, this isn’t it. Go rent or download The Conjuring instead. If a mystery/thriller is your thing, this is a nice treat. – Howe gives Deliver Us from Evil 3 cats out of 5. – Taylor gives it 2 songs by The Doors out of 5. The film is currently playing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Passenger rides on his voice

nglish singer/songwriter/guitarist Mike Rosenberg, (known as Passenger) has the charm of the ambiguous voice. Heard right out of the gate on Coins In a Fountain, his vocal recalls Austin Powers’ proclamation “She’s a man, Dean Gordon-Smith baby!” But his rapid fire delivery on 27 puts any question to rest as he rasps and cusses his way through a catalogue of

stReet soUnDs

frustrated efforts and wasted youth on his fifth album, Whispers. Rosenberg/Passenger is riding the tide of U.K. folk along with acts like Mumford and Sons and Dry the River. But the folk tag is misleading, often mislabelling acoustic-based contemporary music with non-pop lyrics. Whispers falls on the dusky edge of acoustic oriented songwriting, striking an even balance of vitriol and Yesterday-like musings on nostalgia in Golden Leaves. When darker shading and subjects are called upon in Hearts on Fire, things get interesting, as Led Zeppelin, Sandy Denny and Leonard Cohen have earlier demonstrated when dealing in the alternative folk idiom.

In 1833 at age 10, Barney Flaherty was the ﬁrst newspaper carrier ever hired. We proudly carry on the tradition of quality delivery. If you are 9 or 99 and interested in being a carrier, give us a call!

As a vocal personality, Rosenberg has strong presence. He recalls ‘80s-’90s WTF? singers like Mick Hucknall (Simply Red) and Tracy Chapman. Rosenberg’s voice is a gravelly instrument that’s articulate, a contrast to his sensitive guitar picking. His lyrics are startling; a barking diatribe or longing lament, done in the form of a story song. When he sticks to this he’s in his element and the music rings true. He veers off briefly on the inappropriately titled Thunder with an uninspired chorus, then steps quickly back to form on Start a Fire. He then stays connected to his rough muse on Riding to New York, a gaunt endof-the-line travel tale. Rosenberg writes with an insightful edge and stays close to the moment.

Sara Sattra-McCuaig and Kaila Kondo demonstrate how to make bath bombs at the recent 4-H Provincial Communication Finals in Oyama.

4-H youth talk their way to the top Editor’s note: The following is from B.C. 4-H. The competition was fierce as top 4-H public speakers and demonstration teams from around the province took the stage to compete in last weekend’s B.C. 4-H Provincial Communication Finals at Gatzke Orchards in Oyama. Twenty-six senior 4-H members from across British Columbia competed at the event. These 4-H members are the cream of the crop from their respective regions, having won at the club, district and regional level to be given the opportunity to compete at the provincial level. There are two divisions in the B.C. 4-H Provincial Communication Finals weekend: speeches and demonstrations. This year’s competitors were vying for prizes in both divisions, with prizes that included an all-expenses paid trip to Canadian Young Speakers for Agriculture competition at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto in November for the top public speaker with prize money available to second, third and fourth place winners. The top demonstra-

tion team will win $500, with additional cash going to second, third and fourth place winners. In order to get to the provincial level, competitors competed at various levels with a prepared speech, five to seven minutes in length on any topic of their choice. However, once they get to the provincial level, competitors are given 40 minutes to prepare an impromptu speech based on Okanagan agriculture tours they went on the day before which this year included stops at the Kelowna Farmers’ Market, Gray Monk Winery and Coldstream Ranch. A demonstration is showing how to perform a task or skill using precise instructions for each step of the task or skill. Demonstrations are fascinating to watch as youth give thorough presentations, physically demonstrating to give continuity to the task or skill. The winners of the speech category are: Morgan Meir, Fraser Valley; Kelly Kumbruch, Vancouver Island; Cliff Clemotte, Vancouver Island; Shawna Williams, Yellowhead West.

In the demonstrations category, the winners are: Sara Sattra-McCuaig and Kaila Kondo, Fraser Valley; Carli Wardrop and Jodi Siemens, Yellowhead West; Jeremiah Laity and Lauren Kozol, Fraser Valley; Matthew McGillivray and Dayton Gray, Kamloops/Okanagan. Congratulations to all the competitors on a job well done. All of the judges noted how close the placings were! B.C. 4-H would also like to thank all of our sponsors for making this program possible for our 4-H members: BC Ministry of Agriculture, Canada Growing Forward, Farm Credit Canada, Prairie Coast Equipment, Westgen, Federated Cooperatives Limited, Armstrong Regional Coop, Mutual Fire Insurance Company of British Columbia, 4-H Canada, B.C. 4-H Foundation and B.C. 4-H Provincial Council.

Climbing into thin air

t sucks to be oxygen starved. Until recently, I took the meaty oxygenated air of sea level for granted. At home, atmospheric oxygen is the ubiquitous, ethereal life-giving substance that enters the body with each respiration, as reliable as the tides. Oxygen is a substance best recognized by its absence, and a low oxygen environment is a mini prequel to death, a disagreeable place filled with a host of physical symptoms that tax survival. The best place on earth to go should one wish to experience the effects of oxygen starvation is the high Himalaya. At sea level, billions of oxygen molecules jostle with nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, argon and other gases to form a dense atmospheric mantle. The part we breathe in is referred to as air. Conveniently, this dense, moist blanket of air is kept in place by earth’s gravity and at sea level red blood cells can grab all of the oxygen molecules necessary to saturate the blood and sustain life. As altitude increases, the wet blanket dries out, becomes lighter and because gravity is correspondingly diminishing, the atmospheric

density decreases. Thick air becomes thin air and oxygen concentration plummets exponentially. In the atmospheric slurry of colliding molecules and atoms at sea level, oxygen constitutes 20.9 per cent of the total gases. At 16,000 ft./ 4,876 m. oxygen availability is halved and at the top of Mt. Everest (or the height our jet flew to get to from home Vancouver, B.C.) only one third of the oxygen available at sea level remains. I hadn’t given much thought about the science of air until I experienced the science and its effects first hand. This spring my husband and I went to Nepal to climb Lobuche, a mini mountain by Himalayan standards, but still higher than any peak in North America. It is nestled on the western flank of the Himalayan massif that includes Everest and

is reached by trudging from Lukla into the Khumbu valley. To get to Everest one must fly from home (1,250 ft./ 380m) to Kathmandu (4,600 ft. /4,600 m) to Lukla (9,380ft /2,860m) before walking uphill to Everest basecamp at 17,659-ft./5.364 m. The epic nature, the mountainous beauty and the fantastic people one meets on such a trip cannot be overstated but the residual memories I have of high Nepal are ones of feeling God awful. In Lukla, before the trip has barely started, hypoxia hits you like a brick. Physical symptoms of low oxygen concentration are acute at any elevation above 8,000 ft./2,400 m. and it was not uncommon to find freshly arrived Westerners experiencing headaches and searching for ibuprofen. Acclimation takes time. Part of the ability to adapt to altitude is genetic but Diamox, a drug many Westerners take to get out of Lukla, can remedy the acute symptoms. I felt fantastic as I left Lukla for the Khumbu, so I chose to ignore the twice-normal pulse, as the heart became a hammer and the lungs a bellows, extracting all the available oxygen

they could. At dinner I attempted to take in enough to keep up with caloric expenditure, and there I sat. The gut had decided to call it a day. There was no way my stomach was willing to accept even a portion of what was before me. With all of the blood supply diverted to the muscles, heart and lungs the digestive system went on strike. Over weeks this did improve but the weight and muscle I accumulated through training melted away. If eating were out of the question, surely sleep would be welcome and come easily. No such luck. Going to bed was an exercise in frustration. Night was the time to wake up with a headache and gulp for air before resting and repeating the process of tossing, coughing, gasping and waiting until it was time to wake again. Anorexia, headache, cough, gut disturbance, lethargy, air hunger, weight loss, cold intolerance and insomnia are common at altitude and are euphemistically diagnosed as acute mountain sickness or AMS. Although AMS will not kill you, it is an unpleasant part of high altitude travel and when left untreated

can morph into the more serious and potentially fatal HACE (High Altitude Cerebral Edema where your brain becomes water logged) or HAPE (High Altitude Pulmonary Edema where the lungs fill with fluid). Over weeks the severity of AMS dissipates as the body compensates through physiological adaption to the low oxygen environment, but this process takes time. For this reason, climbers spend months at Everest waiting for the body to acclimatize. The key to acclimation is to ascend slowly or better yet, descend and recover. Many climbers use supplemental oxygen, as there is no adaptation to altitude above 26,000 ft., an area known as the death zone. After a month at altitude my symptoms diminished (save for the eating and sleeping issues) but it is fair to say that the body and brain knew that this was not a place they wanted to be. Three weeks after arriving in Nepal I stood on the top of Lobuche. It took everything I had to get there. My husband, who has experienced the pain cave of competitive

athletics, remarked that the physical effort of the Hawaii Ironman paled in comparison to the exertion of this small Himalayan peak. It was on that day at

that moment that I realized there would be no Mt. Everest in my future. I like oxygen in my air and besides, I just couldn’t suffer for that long.

All are invited to ponder and to answer in thought word and life the question that Jesus asked. It lifts up those who are cast down and rejuvenates the spirit. It rekindles the lamp of hope. It invigorates the obedience of faith with renewed vision of the day when sorrow and sighing are no more. It constrains to wonder and a heartfelt thanksgiving at the prospect of sharing His glorious rest.

In return, this activity can produce a feeling of self worth and respect. “Volunteering is also renowned for skill development, socialization and fun,” says Bobbe MacKenzie (right, with other volunteers), manager of The Mission Dollar Bin, a volunteer-run thrift shop in downtown Vernon. “We need your help, just four hours a week to serve our great supporters and add new stock, all of which is sold for a loonie. We have an apron just waiting for you.” All proceeds support the Upper Room Mission. If you can help, please contact the store at 3008-34th St. or call Dawn at 778-4755868.

BANNISTER

Question of the Week Driveway test driver Zack Spencer says today’s crossover vehicles have replaced the popular station wagon of yesteryear. Do you agree? Is there something about the station wagon that appeals more to you?

Lexus joins the compact crossover lineup with the all-new NX.

Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer. QUESTION

OF THE WEEK!

Drive The worldwide launch of the NX was held right here in B.C., driving between ultra modern Vancouver and the rustic resort of Whistler. International guests were exposed to the two sides of the NX, the polished city vehicle and the weekend getaway SUV. Powering around the mountain resort, I got my first shot at the all-new 2.0L direct inject turbocharged 4-cylinder that Lexus will use in a number of its vehicles. With 235hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque this new power plant does a good job once the NX 200t is in motion; it is getting away from a stop that could use a bit more snap. AWD is standard across the lineup but the system is designed to run in front wheel drive as much as possible to help save fuel. Lexus has made no bones about its target; it sees the Audi Q5 as the benchmark in this class. Audi has been at the small turbocharged game a lot longer and it shows, plus the handling of the NX isn’t sharp at all. In fact, all the passengers inside the base model test vehicle noticed the top-heavy body roll. Verdict What Lexus (Toyota) has been up to over the past ten-plus years is

HONDA

“A Family Business, with Family Values ”

producing hybrid cars in numbers nobody else can touch. This new NX is also available as a hybrid, but don’t expect any kind of show-stopping performance. Rated at just 194hp, the heavier NX 300h hybrid might be outclassed by just-as-thrifty diesel options in the market. The price of the NX 200T has not been set but if you look at the Audi Q5 as a target, expect the price to start at roughly $41,000 when it goes on sale at the end of 2014. Fuel economy has also not been set but with a direct injection turbocharged 4-cylinder under the hood, this new Lexus should be better on fuel than the larger RX350 equipped with a V6 engine. As the small SUV market continues to grow, and this new NX certainly is one of the most eye-catching to come along in a while.

Safety Tip: There are some quick safety checks you can make on your vehicle to protect yourself and your passengers. For starters, make sure the head restraints are at least level with the top of the head and as close as possible to the back of the head to help prevent injury.

ECOTEC engine, generates 138 horses and sips 4.6 L/100 km on the highway. It looks good today but in 2015, the Cruze gets a significant visual refresh with an updated grille and body shape that will give it more than a passing resemblance to its larger sibling Malibu. We’re told it will get significant tech changes, including an infotainment system with a driver alert text system that can be read through smart phones and over Bluetooth, plus additional USB ports, and a 4G LTE connection enabling it to function as a WiFi hot spot. The Chevrolet AppShop will allow owners to download all available apps directly to the vehicle, offering access to vehicle data, music, news, weather and travel information. No prices yet. Worth a serious look by import car fans.

BC high school students show off their skills on video By Bob McHugh

A hands-on ability, whatever the skill, is a talent that tends to go unrecognised and too often, it is under-appreciated, even by those who possess the talent. That’s why I was delighted to be asked again to participate as a judge (one of five) in the annual “Show Us Your Skills” competition organized by Discover Skills BC for high school students. Students create a short video about a trade or skill that they are interested in pursuing. Prizes for the top three videos are presented to both the student and the high school that they attend. The high level of expertise that some of these kids already possess was remarkable and the video entries this year were outstanding. First prize this year went to Connor Shaw, a student at Traditional Learning Academy in Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island. He was taught to weld by his uncle and at age twelve he fabricated a flat deck for a truck he was given. More recently he added a hydraulic lift system that gives the flat deck a dump feature. Connor loves welding and plans to pursue a career in a related trade. Connor will get an Apple MacBook Air and his high school will receive $2,000. The second prize winner was Albert Leung, who attends Steveston-London Secondary in Richmond. Albert will get an Apple iPad Air 16GB and the school will receive $1,000. Bernice Chung, a student at Eric Hamber Secondary, in Vancouver, came third, she will receive an Apple iPad Mini, and $500 goes to the school. Trades can offer a rewarding and fulfilling career path with a higher than average wage level and a solid future. continued on page B13

The trades sector in BC is expected to face an overall labour shortage by 2016 that will deepen in the following years, according to WorkBC Trades Occupations Outlook (2010-2020) report (www.workbc.ca). A goal of this video competition is to encourage more BC students to simply consider a trade as a rewarding career alternative and entice more teachers and high schools to include trades as a career option in the classroom. In the auto service industry, the highly regarded Ford ASSET technician training program is a good example.

AUSTIN, TX. – I can’t think of a better time to learn how to ride or a harder time to ride. These juxtaposing thoughts can be explained thusly. There are so many great choices for new riders when it comes to machinery it’s hard to make a decision on what to add to your garage. But the variety also means there are bikes to suit all. Those wanting to get on sportbikes don’t need to start on a 250 or 300 cc, let alone a 600 cc variant. You can get a 125 cc. Or when it comes to cruisers, you don’t have to start on a machine that might be a little on the heavy side. You can get a competent road partner, which looks cool and doesn’t weigh south of 250 kilos. Enter the 2015 Harley-Davidson Street 750. 222 kilos, soaking wet. Hitting streets later this year, it’s the first new bike the American motorcycle maker has concocted from scratch in the last 11 years. The last all-new bike

for all the potholes and road imperfections one might encounter –and is a bike on which variety of riders can feel comfortable. Let’s start with its all-new engine. The Street 750 is matched with a liquid-cooled – yes, liquid! - 749 cc, 60-degree, which gives ample acceleration when you need it, particularly when you’re accelerating from a standstill. Not only that, it doesn’t spew unwanted heat towards the rider when they’re idling. And if you’re like me, and wear full gear even on hot, summer days, you’re incredibly grateful for that. Furthermore, it’s paired to a 6-speed transmission. Normally, stop-go traffic on a Harley would be a pain. However, it wasn’t with the 750. It’s the easiest and lightest clutch I’ve worked with on any of the American motorcycle manufacturer’s bikes. Speaking of low seat height, it measures in at 709mm (27.9-inches.) The Harley 750 doesn’t carry some of the bulk people might associate with the brand. It’s like losing all the weight you put on during the Christmas holiday! It just feels good. When it comes to the 750’s suspension, it’s not jarring and pleasantly soft. Not so soft, that it puts you to sleep, but a good balance of urban comfort mixed with open road riding pleasure. Up front, the 37mm telescopic forks and rear twin tubular externally mounted shocks absorb the bumps in the road and leave the rider feeling fine. However, after a day of logging over 200 kilometres, the rear end does feel a little sleepy! General ergonomics are good, though I would have brought the handlebars a little closer to my body. They’re not a stretch for me, but something that would have made the ride more comfortable. I also would have liked a little more “grab” in the front and rear brakes. It seemed like I really had to bite hard into the front brake to get it to slow down. The logic behind that is that new riders are less likely to get in trouble in an event where they are nervous and get a little jumpy. Lastly, fit and finish of the bike could have been neater. Wires were exposed, and it took away from the overall aesthetic. That said the bike does have character to it. The 2015 Street 750 from Harley-Davidson has many good things going for it. And with it tipping the scale at just 222 kg (489 lbs.) – in running order – looks like Christmas comes early. Pricing will be announced closer to the release date.

Room enough to Pilot the entire family By Ian Harwood

The 2014 Honda Pilot has enough space to get you, your family, and all your gear to the campsite and let’s not forget the family dog! Looks: Even though the vehicle was last re-designed as long ago as 2009, it still fits the market today and it has a unique style to it. In The Cab: Inside updates and improvements ensure there is plenty of room for eight in this large sport ute. The 60/40 second row and third row bench seats fold flat to give a good surface to transport larger items. Another added improvement is the rear glass

that opens independently from the hatch. If you go for the EX-L or Touring edition there is a power lift gate. A 229-watt audio system with seven speakers and a subwoofer is available on the LX 2wd, LX, EX and EX-L model. There is an available Honda DVD rear entertainment system with 9-inch display. And check this out: there’s an optional Honda satellite-linked navigation system with trilingual voice recognition that responds to over 800 verbal commands Safety first: The 2014 Pilot’s standard safety equipment includes Vehicle Stability Assist, commonly known as electronic stability control with traction control and ABS. There are three row-side curtain airbags with roll over

sensors; dual stage front air bags, a driver’s front side air bag, and a passenger’s front side air bag with occupant position detection system. There’s also have hill start assist on all models. The VTM-4 system directs power to the front differential when extra traction is not required, helping with the fuel economy, when more traction is required, the system engages the rear differential. Power: The 3.5 litre, 24-valve, SOHC i-VTEC V6 engine delivers 250 hp and 253 ft lbs of torque. Variable cylinder management (VCM) which shuts down two or three cylinders when not required. The five speed automatic transmission runs smoothly

and very quiet when shifting. When the green ECO light comes on, I noticed the transmission was a little noisier as the engine decreased the number of cylinders in operation. The Pilot has a tow rating of 2045 kg (4500 lb) Roadworthy: I took the Touring edition up some logging roads in Squamish. It was incredibly smooth as it glided over potholes and dodged ditches. Verdict: The 2014 Honda Pilot is a reliable/spacious SUV, easy to drive around town and a real joy to drive off-road. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

Legal Notices

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION NOTICE Tracking No. 328922 Pre-Authorization No. 107369 Application for a Permit Under The Provisions of the Environmental Management Act We, Pinnacle Renewable Energy Inc., 8545 Willow Cale Road, Prince George, BC, intend to submit this application to the Director for the discharge of air emissions from a wood pellet plant. The sources of discharge are four stacks for two belt dryers and a multi-cyclone ¿ltration system associated with the plant equipment. The land upon which the facility will be situated and the discharge will occur is located on the north side of the railroad tracks directly adjacent to the Tolko Industries Ltd., Lavington Sawmill; 50.23°N, 119.10°W. The operating period for this facility will be 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. The contaminant discharge will consist of particulate matter calculated as PM10 and PM2.5. The maximum rate of PM10 emissions discharged from this facility will be 8.8 kg/ hour, with up to 3.0 kg/hour from the four dryer stacks and 5.8kg/hour from the multicyclone system. The maximum rate of PM2.5 emissions discharged from this facility will be 5.3 kg/hour, with up to 2.0 kg/hour from the four dryer stacks and 3.3 kg/hour from the multi-cyclone system. Emission estimates of PM10 and PM2.5 from the two dryers were calculated based on a maximum PM concentration of 15 mg/Nmñ, and a maximum dryer Àow rate of 236,108 Nm³/hr per dryer based on information from the manufacturers. The size fraction distributions of 0.86 and 0.57 for PM10 and PM2.5, respectively, were based on stack testing from a similar facility. Dryer emissions will occur through four 12.5 meter tall stacks. A multi-cyclone ¿ltration system was proposed to reduce the particulate matter PM concentrations emitted from the cooling and hammering equipment associated with the production facility. Emission estimates of PM10 and PM2.5 were calculated based on the maximum concentration of 50 mg/m³ as per the manufacturer speci¿cations and the maximum permitted Àow rate of 40 Nm³/s. The size fraction distributions of 0.75 and 0.43 for PM10 and PM2.5, respectively, were based on the previous Pinnacle stack testing at Pinnacle Williams Lake January 28, 2010.
