limb and we are investigating the potential area of fire origin,” said Lawrie Skolrood, deputy fire chief. The B.C. Safety Authority had issued orders regarding electrical issues in the grandstand so electricity is being considered by investigators. “It appears the electricity was off in the building but the energy (power line) to the building was on,” said Skolrood. Officials are unwilling to deem the blaze suspicious at this point. “We want to be absolutely sure,” said Skolrood, adding that he is aware of speculation about the recent rash of arsons in Vernon. “There’s no specific evidence that links any of those yet.” Residents are still being asked to provide any photographs or video of the fire because they may provide useful details to investigators. “Anyone with information, we will gladly take that too,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson.
FINANCING
How insurance money will be spent is unknown after fire destroyed Kin Race Track’s grandstand. Any insurance money from Wednesday’s blaze will go to the City of Vernon, which owns the 43rd Avenue property, and not the Okanagan Equestrian Society, which uses the site and was responsible for maintaining the grandstand. “We anticipate it could be further fodder for future legal action but we’re choosing to be optimistic that something can be reached,” said Ed Woolley, society spokesperson. “We have started negotiations with them and we will see what happens.” The society has been pursuing legal action against the city and the Regional District of North Okanagan to use the property since a 2010 eviction. Given the ongoing conflict, Woolley admits some society members are concerned the city will not invest the insurance money
“Any comment on this would be premature,” said Will Pearce, chief administrative officer. “We will need direction from council who will need thorough background information.” The society did not have content insurance for items stored in the grandstand, including some used televisions and a 20-year-old sound system. The society recently announced there would be no Vernon Racing Days this summer and now the fire puts the 2015 season in doubt. “There is a possibility around a temporary grandstand and we would have to work out something electrical for the betting machines,” said Woolley. “Right now I would say that racing next year is questionable but we haven’t had a chance to sit down and look at the options.” Fire and police investigators were back on scene Friday after sections of the unstable structure were demolished. “We have taken away the threat to life and

he wind in his hair and smell of fresh Okanagan air aboard Heaven Can Wait II brought senior Harvey Sheppard back in time. Before the Gateby resident’s age and mobility issues caught up to him, the water was home to Sheppard. “I sailed from Labrador to New York to...” said Sheppard, recounting his sailing days. While the pontoon Sheppard boarded recently was much smaller than the vessel he once navigated, it was an unforgettable moment for the wheelchair-bound senior. Likewise, George Garrett could hardly wipe the grin from his face as he partook in the excursion provided by the Okanagan Quality of Life Society. “I’d just be inside watching TV otherwise but now I’m outside getting fresh air,” grinned Garrett. While disability and age prevents most of the residents aboard from expressing any outward enthusiasm, there’s an obvious twinkle in their eyes and a soothing calmness which overcomes everyone on board. “It’s just a nice relaxing time,” said Sandy Behan, after helping all her Gateby clients board the boat and settle in with a picnic. As a recreation therapy assistant, Behan has been on numerous trips aboard Heaven Can Wait, and now the Heaven Can Wait II pontoon. “It’s our most popular outing for sure. It’s the highlight of the summer.” The one-of-a-kind experience is made possible thanks to the Okanagan Quality of Life Society, which owns and operates the pontoon boat. For most of the senior residents at 25-plus various facilities which take part, it’s an experience they might not otherwise get. “It’s not like they can get out camping or anything,” said Behan. “It’s just so worthwhile.” And likewise, for the 30 volunteer captains who take the seniors out two to four times a day, five days a week, it’s a rewarding experience. “It’s a great thing to be involved in,” said Sid Adams, who has been volunteering for six years. “You get pats on the back, you get handshakes and the odd hug.” The society has offered the service since

“We have people coming as far away as Kelowna and Salmon Arm,” said Ron Heuman, past president who now looks after all the bookings. “We try to get as many on the water as possible.” But now the society is proudly sporting a new vessel. Thanks to the generosity of the community, Heaven Can Wait II has been in operation since May 30. “The new boat certainly lends itself,” said Heuman of the vessel which is a little roomier and more easily accessible for wheelchairs, has a larger motor and is more stable with three pontoons instead of two. It’s also a little drier. “On the old boat we used to get people’s feet wet once in a while,” said Adams. The society only charges $20 per trip, just to help with gas and insurance costs. The minimal cost is thanks to the trained volunteers who operate the boat. For Adams, it’s an excursion he expects he will never give up. “I’ll be doing this until I can become a
passenger.” Captain Norm Armstrong adds: “We get dibs on the front seats.” For more information, visit www.oqls.

Armstrong teen seeks national title roger knox Morning Star Staff
It was while curling her hair and watching the Miss America pageant on TV that Kassidy Kleef had an epiphany. Later this summer, the 16-year-old Armstrong teenager will be similar to the Miss America contestants in that she’ll be appearing on a national stage. Kleef is a finalist for the 2014 Miss Canada Globe pageant, and will be heading off to Toronto for her firstever pageant competition in August. “I’ve been practising in front of a mirror,” laughed Kleef, an Armstrong Dairy Queen employee (recently named employee of the year), and soon-to-be Grade 12 student at Vernon’s W.L. Seaton Secondary. “It’s a bit nerve-wracking.” Kleef received an e-mail encouraging her to try out for Miss Canada Globe, and she did, becoming a finalist. She’ll venture to Toronto with her mom and grandmother for what will be a 10-day excursion, though the pageant itself is only three days. “The first day is evening wear and swim wear, the second day is a sitdown dinner in a big theatre, and the talent part of it, and on the last day, they pick the five finalists,” said Kleef. “If I make it that far, I’d have to do more evening wear and then a big interview.” Her talent will be of a serious nature and a serious topic. Kleef will write a monologue on bullying, something she said has been a big part of her life. “I’m going to really open up and talk about how it’s affected me,” said Kleef. “I’m going to focus on the issue of bullying and how much it affects people in Canada and around the world.” While admitting she’s never been involved in any kind of pageant before, it’s not a stretch to say Kleef

She has been involved in acting and modeling for six years, and is sponsored by Okanagan Talent and Crew, who regularly send her out for jobs. At Seaton, her new school which has a renowned theatre and drama reputation, Kleef enrolled in Lana O’Brien’s stagecraft class to learn more about what goes on behind the scenes of a theatre production. Upon graduation, Kleef hopes to study at Vancouver’s Langara College’s Studio 58 professional theatre training program. To get to Toronto, Kleef has to raise the $3,000 entry fee through sponsorship. She has already received support from Dairy Queen, Bannister Honda and Monashee Wellness Centre and Shoe Emporium, along with donations from family and friends. “The support from everyone in the community, and my family and friends, has been great,” said Kleef, who can’t wait to get to Toronto. “I’m really looking forward to it. It’s starting to get very exciting.”

Enderby ready to SOAR richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Enderby residents have the welcome mat out. Organizers for the 2014 Spirit of Adventure Rendezvous are currently making their way to Enderby and between Saturday and July 25, the community will host 2,500 Girl Guide leaders and youth. “They will have this place absolutely buzzing,” said Howie Cyr, Enderby’s mayor. “People are chatting about it more and more all of the time.” Along with B.C., there will be participants from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Washington State, New Zealand, Australia, Britain, Japan and Grenada. “Everyone is really excited,” said Laurie Hooker, B.C. Girl Guides public relations advisor. “There’s a lot of anticipation of the fun that’s to come.” SOAR rotates around the province every three years and Enderby was selected over four other Interior communities. Extensive planning has gone into the event which will be based at Riverside Park and double the City of Enderby’s population for a week. “The City of Enderby has been amazing at helping get us ready.

Guides from across Canada and around the world converge on Enderby for the 2014 Spirit of Adventure Rendezvous from Saturday to July 25.
“They will have this place absolutely buzzing.” — Howie Cyr
They have been doing grounds work and security,” said Hooker. “Police, fire and medical personnel have been co-operating with everything we need.” Cyr is impressed with the logistics of the Guides. “This organization is probably the best organized I’ve seen in a long time in terms of planning. They know exactly what they are doing,” he said. An opening ceremony and community parade launches SOAR July 19. Activities are scheduled for every
day and that means the participants will also explore the OkanaganShuswap and beyond. “From Kumsheen Rafting in Lytton to dairy farms in Salmon Arm and into Vernon, they will be there,” said Hooker. There will also be traditional camping activities such as cooking, campfires, singalongs and crafts. “The friendships made are for a lifetime,” said Hooker. It’s expected that SOAR will pump about $1 million into the regional economy.
“That includes everything from the money the girls spend on their own to supplies we have purchased,” said Hooker. Businesses in Enderby are bracing to be busy during SOAR, and it’s expected the event could have a longterm benefit financially. “All of the people here will go home and tell their friends and relatives about Enderby and our region. We want them to come back for a visit,” said Cyr.

Proposal hits the big screen roger knox Morning Star Staff
The crowd at Enderby’s Starlight Drive In Theatre got an extra bonus for the July 2 double feature. A marriage proposal. Revelstoke’s Tony Tomson and Stacey Lamont, who met online, were at the drive in for the fourth straight July 2. Like everybody else in their vehicles, they were there to see Tom Cruise star in Edge of Tomorrow, backed with 22 Jump Street. The couple, about to become co-owners of Revelstoke’s Your Office and Art Centre, had their first date at the Starlight – Lamont had never been to a drive in, Tomson, a Salmon Arm native, had been to the Starlight many times – on July 2, 2011. Tomson took Lamont to see The Hangover 2 after a day at Salmon Arm’s Herald Provincial Park hiking to Margaret Falls and then dinner. Every July 2 since, Tomson and Lamont have recreated their first date with the night ending at the drive-in. “I knew I was going to do the proposal at the drive in probably after our first year, when we went to the drive in the second time, July 2, 2012,” said Tomson, 36, a computer technician. “I knew this is what I wanted to do.” So, on July 2, the couple went back to Herald Park, had dinner in Salmon Arm, then drove to the southern outskirts of Enderby and settled in at the drive in for the double feature. Tomson said he was very calm during the day, playing it cool. Lamont, 31, had no idea anything was going to happen. By the time they got to the drive in, Tomson started getting excited. His biggest challenge? Keeping Lamont away from the concession. “She wanted to get popcorn before the trailers and I’m like, ‘No, no, let’s watch the trailers,’ and she’s going, “What? Why?’” laughed Tomson. “She started to figure something was going on. That’s when the proposal came up on the big

screen.” Normally, the Starlight plays an old Britney Spears Pepsi commercial before launching into the trailers. This time, up on the big white screen, for all to see, was a picture of Lamont in her roller derby persona – Lumen, like light – and the question (well, actually a statement as there was an exclamation mark instead of a question mark): “Lumen #29...Will you
marry me!” “It was left on screen for awhile and when I asked her to marry me when it came up, she didn’t hear me the first time because she was still crying,” said Tomson. “She said yes.” Tomson e-mailed the drive in owners in January about his plan, and co-owner Paul Lindquist happily obliged. “We thought it was pretty cool,” said Lindquist. “We’ve
never done that before.” The only pre-proposal glitch was that the Starlight had to figure out how to convert Tomson’s slide image to run in its digital projector. Once they got it figured out, all that was left was to wait and hear Lamont’s response. “We loaded them up with T-shirts, frisbees, all kinds of free stuff to say congratulations,” said Lindquist. “The place went nuts.” Lindquist has said the drive in would be delighted to have the couple hold their marriage at its facility, but Tomson said that decision will be up to Lamont, as it’s her first marriage (Tomson has been married before). One thing is for certain... “We will be getting married on July 2,” said Tomson.

Greater Vernon’s cultural vision continues to evolve. Members of the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee met Thursday to conduct further work on the proposed cultural plan. “We had an update from the consultants on public input and the steering committee workshop,” said Juliette Cunningham, GVAC chairperson. “Some themes have come out and they’re trying to flush out those themes.” One of the items of discussion revolves around the responsibility of cultural agencies. “It’s not just government’s role to fund and pro-

World Cup fever
efore I step forward with my prediction for today’s World Cup final, I should probably come clean with my knowledge of the beautiful game. I never really played as a kid. Sure I was a valuable member of the Silver Star Elementary Grade 7 boys team but I’m pretty sure everyone that tried out made the team. Back in the day in this country it was more about baseball and that was my sport. Not that I was an all-star or anything but I did pitch (I can still remember the refrain “Way to pitch, Mitch” that a few enthusiastic supporters used to shout when I was on a roll) and Glenn Mitchell I hit the odd home run at the old green diamond at Lakeview, although never at the fenced one, much to my chagrin. Some kids did play minor soccer back then, including my older brother, but the season conflicted with baseball pretty much so eventually you kind of had to choose, and I played ball well into my teens at Polson Park, they called it Babe Ruth back then. However, my kids played soccer, still do (and not baseball even though one season I offered to pay for both but there were no takers, although now they blame me for their lack of experience on the diamond, ironic, huh?), so I enjoy watching the sport and understand it at the basic level. Certainly I played it in the backyard with the kids when they were real young and might even have impressed them at one time with how high I could kick the ball. Heavy sigh. Heck, I even helped coach it when the kids were younger but that had to stop when they eventually got to the age where they had the game figured out a little more than I did. Somewhere around six or seven I reckon.
MitChEll’S MuSingS
Which, when I think about it, is when I wrapped up my minor hockey coaching career as well, for similar reasons. However I’ve always enjoyed watching my kids play all sports, although I have to admit, like most Canadians, I find watching hockey a little more fast-paced and exciting and I get it a little more. I’ve always had trouble with offside in soccer. I’m not stupid and I stopped looking for the blueline several years ago but it seems to me, by the strict definition of what offside is in soccer to my limited understanding, sometimes it gets called and sometimes it doesn’t. Which means sometimes it seems goals count that looked like they were offside and sometimes they get waived off, but then what do I know so I keep my mouth shut. However, again, that’s not to say I’m not into the World Cup specifically and soccer in general. It’s a wonderful sport that’s easy to play, cheap to participate in and translates so well around the world it’s easily the planet’s No. 1 sport and championship tournament. And that’s a huge part of the appeal of the World Cup. It means so much to so many the stakes are enormous for all involved. Of course that can mean conservatively played matches that end up 0-0 and are decided by penalty kicks, which drives me crazy, but here’s hoping someone scores early in today’s final and the pace accelerates from there. So are you still waiting with bated breath for my World Cup prediction now that you know how knowledgable I am? I thought so. But I’ll give it to you anyway. I’m just hoping for a good game and I think it will be. It says here Argentina scores first but Germany ends up winning 3-2 in extra time in one of the best finals ever. Why not, eh? And if I’m wrong, which is likely, as you can see from the above, what do I know about football, er soccer, er the World Cup, er......
Few can argue that mental illness touches everyone. There are, of course, those with the diagnosis. Then there are their children, siblings, parents, friends and co-workers. Even complete strangers are often hit with the ripples, as society is forced to bear the burden of missed work days, medical visits, inadequate treatment options, etc. It doesn’t matter that research has led to many strategies and treatments that, when adhered to, can help sufferers live productive, even normal, lives. Perhaps if it felt easier to talk openly about mental illness, things would be different. For those directly affected, it can feel simpler to try to ignore the reality – to keep the door closed and the windows shuttered, so to speak. Not the healthiest approach, really, but common nonetheless. And while time has led to strides in the realm of mental illness, it has done less for society’s acceptance of it as a disease. Many worthwhile stories do not get told in these pages because of the stigma attached to mental illness; the fear people have of being branded by going public with their struggle. Mental illness are still two words that, despite so-called progress, few afflicted with the likes of depression or schizophrenia or paranoia dare to mutter outside – sometimes even inside – their immediate family. Many of these individuals are parents, siblings, friends or colleagues of those living with a mental illness. A few are those individuals themselves, who have taken that brave step into the spotlight. No one should feel the need to hide something they cannot control. The reality is, many of us share the blame for the fact so many people do. - Black Press

Keep the Polson Park track
s construction proceeds on the new sports facility at Okanagan College, I would like to make my pitch for also keeping the existing track at Polson Park. The draft Polson Park redevelopment plan calls for elimination of the track. However, I think it would be a huge mistake to lose this valuable recreational amenity so close to downtown. Plans are for a higher density of both residents and workers in the downtown area, which will bring greater demand for nearby recreational facilities that the track can help provide. Running is a sport with numerous health benefits that requires minimal equipment and skills to participate. Having a track at Polson Park allows many people to take a short warm-up run or bike ride to the track, do as many laps as they desire or have time for, and return to their other activities without having to drive anywhere. The proximity of the Polson track to the downtown area makes it possible to fit in a run or walk workout before work or during a lunch break. The track also complements other fitness opportunities in the park such as the Health Beat Fitness area, tennis courts, and lawn bowling. During the lobbying for the new sports facility, you may have heard that the Polson track was too small but it is a standard 400-metre track which simply has tighter curves than what has become the accepted shape. Having a track with the typical 400-metre length allows a runner to compare his or her lap times on any standard track. Most run training programs to prepare for races include timed repetitions of cycle safety How many times have we read in the paper or heard on radio or TV that as motorists we need to keep a sharp eye out for cyclists, make sure you share the road, be considerate? Some even want special bike lanes to be built at a fairly large expense to the taxpayers. One town came close to spending a lot of money to put a bike lane in for a two-block section to mostly accommodate folks from out of town. Thankfully they did not. All of this to protect the cyclists. Well maybe it's time for them to help themselves a little simply by obeying the law that they want motorists to obey. This little rant was brought on by a recent morning incident as I was going to make a left turn from Highway 97 onto 97A, but had to yield to about 10 cyclists as they came zooming through the stop sign at the Kamloops turnoff. They came through like a string of sausages, each one waving the next one through. Two or three
400 metres or multiples thereof. The track adds to the diversity of activities that are available in Polson Park. It has been nice to see families using the track together, and this fits with other family activities such as the AquaPark. In my time at the track, I have met a woman from Germany who was training for a marathon and talked to a college student on a U.S. soccer scholarship who was training for her upcoming season. The Polson track is in a perfect location for tourists, as out of town guests may be staying in downtown accommodation and/or may not have use of a car. Similarly, the location is accessible to youth and others who may not have automobiles. The Polson track is ideal for community and charity
vehicles trying to make a left-turn towards Kamloops also had to wait. Had I insisted on the rightof-way, which I had, and pulled out, about four of those cyclists, maybe more would have been left lying on the road wondering what happened to their skin. What I think needs to happen is the cyclists need to spend more time educating themselves about road safety and the law and less time worrying about educating motorists or building more bike lanes. No one wants to have an incident involving a bike and a vehicle because we know who the loser will be. To reduce the chances, it's going to take education from both sides not just the motorist. Gerry Duncan a response With respect to the article “Province dictating district duties’ in The Morning Star on June 20, the Land Title and Survey Authority of British Columbia (LTSA) would
like to clarify how the public can obtain land title records. The LTSA offers the public access to its records through a variety of channels. Copies of records from the LTSA such as land titles, documents or plans can be obtained by using the services of any registry agent in B.C. (consult www.bcapra. org or title services in the Yellow Pages), real property lawyer, notary public, or land surveyor. Customers can also order titles to land or strata plans online through the myLTSA Explorer service at www.ltsa.ca The public can also call 1-877577-5872 to learn how to mail records requests along with payment to the LTSA. There is no need to physically visit a Land Title Office to obtain records. Records purchased from the LTSA by a local government may be distributed or resold to the public, but the LTSA advises against such practices for two reasons. Land title records are sub-
events that involve walking or running, such as the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. I think it is far better having these events near our downtown rather than sending them elsewhere. The main problem with the existing track is that is gets muddy and puddled after rain. I have even gone to the track during a dry spell and found the track muddy from the lawn sprinklers. This is why existing use is not a good indicator of demand. Would you go to a gym if you never knew if it would be open when you got there? The poor track condition when wet is not a surprise because the track is lower than the adjacent ground, meaning that water drains onto the track. A solution I see is to both raise and re-surface the track with a non-muddy material such as compacted crusher chips that form a firm, well-drained surface. This material is often prescribed for trails, and I have seen such trails usable within hours after a major rainstorm. The Polson track will help keep residents healthy and fit, attract and retain new businesses and workers, attract tourists and enhance their visits, be a perfect amenity for community events, and reduce traffic demand and greenhouse gas emissions. The City of Vernon is currently carrying out public consultation on a parks master plan. If you agree that the track at Polson Park should not be eliminated, please let the city know by e-mail to parks@vernon.ca or telephone the long range planner at 250-550-7830. Once the Polson track is gone, it will never come back so please take action now. Gerry naito
ject to amendment, correction or cancellation for many reasons; for these reasons, reliance on current, up-to-date records is critical. Requests for land title records are often made in the context of a larger transaction, such as the development of land, the purchase or sale of land, an estate matter, or other matters that raise important legal issues. In that context, local governments may take on unintended risks by providing land title records search services. craig D. Johnston, Director of land titles, land title and survey authority teachers I loved your cartoon June 13 about the teachers. As a senior on a fixed-income, it's hard to take their constant strike or threats. "We care about the children (I think many do)," is so phoney. Thanks for being fair and balanced. trudy o'rourke

© Janice Mucalov, LL.B. Incorporating a private BC company is not as easy as it might seem. Many people think that once they receive their Certificate of Incorporation, their company is ready to operate. But choosing and reserving an appropriate company name, deciding on an authorized share structure, settling on the Articles (rules and regulations that govern the conduct of your company), completing the Incorporation Agreement, and filing the Incorporation Application (with attached Notice of Articles) through Corporate Online, are only the first steps. After you get your Certificate of Incorporation, you still have a number of things to do to complete the organization of your company. You can have an actual organizational meeting, but the business can just as easily be done through consent resolutions signed by all directors. Shares have to be issued to the incorporators/ shareholders. When first issuing shares, it’s the proportion each shareholder receives that’s important, not the number. If there are two shareholders and they are to “own” the company equally, then they should each be issued the same number (it could be ten shares each or 5,000 each).
with various other company records. You therefore need a company records book or minute book. In this, you file the minutes of your company meetings, including your first organizational meeting. If the business that would have been conducted in a meeting is done instead by consent resolutions, then those written directors’ resolutions have to be signed and filed in the records book. You also need to prepare a directors’ register showing the full names and “prescribed addresses” of the directors (for the delivery of notices and legal documents, and receiving mail) and other specified information. For the prescribed delivery address, directors can choose their home or the office they normally occupy during business hours. As well, a central securities register must be prepared. It shows the shares issued by the company, the full names and addresses of shareholders, the number of shares they own, the class and any series of those shares, and so on.
Are you providing the money to allow the company to begin its operations? The easiest way to raise money is by shareholder loan. This should be documented by having the Kevin E. company make a promissory Cherkowski note, which should be approved in either a directors’ resolution or in the minutes of a directors’ meeting.

external defibrillator, without which she would have died. “They were amazing. They saved my life,” said Jeannie Duncan of the Kennedys and Duncans. Up to 2,000 British Columbians die each year from sudden cardiac arrest – of which 75 per cent could be saved if they receive prompt access to CPR or a jolt from an automated external defibrillator, which is used to identify cardiac rhythms and deliver a shock to correct abnormal electrical activity in the heart. As a result of the incident, the Vernon Golf and Country Club has purchased an automated external defibrillator. “One of the biggest contributing factors in our decision-making process is that the average age of our members and guests are in their 60s. It is our responsibility to take care of them”, said Brent Barker, VGCC chairperson. “We are thankful anesthesiologists and registered nurses were there and recognized what was going on. Dr. Duncan recognized the need for us to address this issue and had the foresight to advise us of what steps we needed to take to rectify the situation.” Jeannie Duncan welcomes the actions taken by the VGCC. “The more statistics I read about sudden cardiac arrest, I realize that automated external defibrillators are a must to save lives,” she said. “For every minute delay the survival rate of a sudden cardiac arrest victim decreases by seven to 10 per cent.” The provincial government recently announced it will spend an additional $1 million to expand the number of defibrillators to 750 in parks, arenas and recreation centres across the province. There are currently 175 external defibrillators in 82 B.C. communities.

Queen’s candidates still sought Morning Star Staff
There’s still time to be a part of a royal Vernon Winter Carnival tradition. The Queen Silver Star program has extended the deadline for 16 to 18 year olds interested in not only vying for a prestigious title, but taking part in a top class personal development program. “We are continuing to accept late applications for our long list of sponsors until Tuesday for this year’s program,” said Calvin Hoy, Vernon Winter Carnival director. The program may have started out as a beauty pageant with its first candidates in 1960, but has since grown into an opportunity for young ladies to excel. Some of the classes the candidates will receive this year include etiquette, stress management, basic automotive, speechcraft
“We are continuing to accept late applications.” — Calvin Hoy
(toastmasters), modeling, food and nutrition, Vernon history, skin and hair care, interview skills and self defence, communication skills, financial planning and time management. Candidates attend classes on an average of two to three times a week from September to early February. “The annual program concludes with the judges selection of two ambassadors who will represent our area to the rest of the province for the next year,” said Hoy. Meanwhile, the Vernon Winter Carnival Society is saying goodbye to Queen Silver Star Program long standing
committee members Coleen Noel, Karen Humphreys and Doreen Hossie who have retired from the excellence program after many years of hard work. “They have volunteered thousands of hours to help bring this program to be the premier ambassadorial program in the prov-
ince,” said Hoy. “The Vernon Winter Carnival Society would like to thank them for their years of volunteer services and personal sacrifices and we very much appreciate them. “We are formatting a new committee of over 15 enthusiastic ladies to carry on the traditions to continue to improve and modernize this very valuable youth personal development program.” For more information, contact the Vernon Winter Carnival office at 250 545 2236 or info@vernonwintercarnival.com.

Stecyks celebrate 60 years Margaret and Walter met in the fall of 1953 in Duffield, Alta. It was duck hunting season and Walter was coming to the farm to go hunting with Margaret’s father Sam. They were engaged at Easter 1954 and were married July 17, 1954 in Edmonton. They honeymooned in Vernon, B.C. and then decided to move there in 1956 as Walter’s brother Tom and nephew Walter already lived there and they loved the beautiful area. They brought with them Margaret’s youngest brother Brian whom they raised as their own. In 1958 Margaret’s mother Irene White joined the family and she lived with them until her death in 1966. Margaret and Walter have three children: Charlene (William) Fair; Barry (Stephanie) Stecyk and Lisa (Darren) Hickson; six grand-

Margaret and Walter were very successful in providing private health care in the Vernon area. They opened Twin Cedars in 1964 and it is still in operation today, being administrated by their three children.
Walter and Margaret Stecyk celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary this week. In 1973 they purchased the Vernon Preparatory School in Coldstream and converted it to a 75-bed nursing home called Mackie Homes. It is still in operation today as Coldstream Meadows. They continue to live in their home in
Vernon. Their family admires them for the adversities that they have overcome, their strength and determination, and the sense of family that they have instilled in them. “Congratulations, Mom and Dad, we love you.”
Program helps reduce risk of falls Happy 50 years TORONTO — People with osteoporosis, and those at risk of developing it, can prevent bone loss, fractures and falls by combining specific types of exercises, says new recommendations recently released by Osteoporosis Canada. The group unveiled Too Fit to Fracture: exercise recommendations for individuals with osteoporosis or osteoporotic vertebral fracture at the Canadian Physiotherapy Association’s (CPA’s) annual general meeting. It focuses on multicomponent exercise programs that combine muscle strengthening and balance training. Professor Lora Giangregorio from the University of Waterloo developed the recommendations with an international group of experts. They recommend that aerobic physical activity should be combined with balance and strength training. “Strength training exercises are key to maintaining strong bones and increasing muscle strength,” said Giangregorio. “There is clear evidence that performing challenging balance exercises can reduce falls, especially if performed most days of the week. We propose a shift away from aerobic-only exercise regimes to those that emphasize strength training and balance training in addition to aerobic training, to achieve the
greatest health benefits.” Falls remain the leading cause of hip fractures among older adults, causing 63 to 83 per cent of hip and non-vertebral fractures and about 45 per cent of vertebral fractures. Individuals with osteoporosis can learn how to move safely. Individuals at high risk of fracture should consider consulting a physical therapist with expertise in osteoporosis in order to design and execute an exercise program that reduces the risk of fracture. “Osteoporosis Canada’s new recommendations will help physiotherapists and physical therapists design exercise programs that can help reduce the risk of fracture,” says Helen Johnson, chair, CPA Senior’s Health Division. “Many Canadians with osteoporosis avoid exercise because they are afraid of falling. Knowing that programs have been designed with these guidelines in mind will also help individuals remove barriers to exercise.” The new recommendations include expert opinions on how to move safely during everyday activities, to avoid the risk of falls or spine fractures. Changes in posture, combined with changes in bone strength, can increase the risk of spine fracture. Poor alignment can be improved with exercises that target muscles important for posture.

Deb White, owner of White House Mortgages, officially opens her new building with the help of MLA Eric Foster, Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky, husband Doug White, daughter Sue Solymosi and Chris Murphy (left), of the Kelowna office, Thursday. The Vernon office is next to W.L. Seaton Secondary School.
The Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board reports that June sales across the entire region were up 28 per cent compared to the same m o n t h in 2013. These are the strongest unit sales for June since 2007. Darcy Griffiths “A f t e r six months of steady growth in sales, the Okanagan-Shuswap housing market is experiencing a rebound in consumer demand and has moved firmly into balanced conditions,” said Darcy Griffiths, OMREB president. OMREB covers from Peachland to the North Shuswap. “We are seeing more listings than in 2013, but not enough to keep up with the demand in some segments as sales have increased more than inventory.
So if you are looking to sell, now is the time to do it,” said Griffiths. “With the drop in active listings, the selection of entry level home choices has been significantly reduced, and some buyers are viewing properties in a higher price range to find better inventory.” The Shuswap led the way in June with a 46 per cent improvement in overall sales over June 2013, compared to 28 per cent in the North Okanagan, and 26 per cent in the Central Okanagan. The Shuswap also saw a 43 per cent rise in single-family residential sales, compared to 27 per cent in the north zone and 14 per cent in the central zone, where there was an 81 per cent improvement in townhouse sales and 49 per cent in condo sales. “Conditions in the north and central Okanagan are now balanced and on the margin of a seller’s market with more demand than supply in some areas,” said Griffiths.
Triumph makes an appearance in downtown Vernon Tyler lowey Morning Star Staff
A new coffee shop has opened in Vernon. Triumph opened a month ago on 30th Avenue, across from Bookland. “Our focus is on a different style of roasted beans. We roast our beans with an artisan roaster,” said co-owner Andrew McWilliam. “We focus on lighter to medium roasted beans to give our coffee interesting flavors like caramel or berries, rather than just chocolate or smoky coffee.” Triumph also offers a full tea menu, JagaSilk tea and in-house baking. Triumph is owned by a pair of families, Andrew and Sarah McWilliam and Matt and Robin Hewitt. “It is the first time any of us have owned a store. It’s going smoothly thanks to the great staff we have here,” said Andrew McWilliam. “I love owning my own shop,” added
Robin Hewitt. “I have worked in coffee shops in Victoria and Montreal in the past. I wanted to bring a coastal, big-city feel to our shop.” The inside of the shop has several different seating arrangements, light fixtures and a private meeting room for businesses to work in. The shop was designed by Caste, a design company out of Victoria. “It provides privacy for people to get their work done in a social environment,” said Hewitt. The aptly named shop, Triumph, has been a success according to the owners. “Wishful thinking I guess,” joked Hewitt. “We just liked the word. It has a positive feeling to it and we think it looks pretty good.” Tyler lowey/Morning STar Andrew McWilliam was a youth workAndrew McWilliam (left) and Robin Hewitt are half of the owners of the new Triumph coffee shop in er in high schools and Robin Hewitt was downtown Vernon on 30th Ave. a stay-at-home mom prior to Triumph.

ceases. Decide whether or not your pension benefit transfers to your spouse when you die. You can usually: Elect to receive a life-only pension that ends when you die. It will deliver a higher monthly benefit to you than a joint and last survivorship pension but will not provide a continuing benefit for your spouse after you die. Select the joint and last survivorship option. While your monthly benefit will be lower, the “joint and last survivor” option is usually better unless your spouse has his or her own pension, Registered Retirement Savings Plan or non-registered assets or adequate insurance coverage. Decide how much the survivor benefit will be. Not all plans allow you to do this – check the details of your plan. In most jurisdictions, the standard survivor benefit is 60 per cent of the pension that was being paid to you prior to death. The higher the survivor benefit percentage, the lower the monthly benefit paid to you. Decide to receive your pension benefit for a guaranteed minimum number
of payments. Some plans allow you to choose to receive monthly pension payments over a minimum term of five, 10 or 15 years – meaning that even if you die prematurely, the benefit will be paid for the minimum period you selected. Does your plan have a Canada Pension Plan or Old Age Security integration option? If so, you can choose to receive an advance on your pension in the form of larger monthly payments until age 65, when CPP and OAS benefits normally begin. Do you have the option to transfer the commuted value of your pension to a locked-in account? Instead of receiving a monthly lifetime pension, you transfer the commuted value of your pension to an account you control. You have key pension decisions to make that will have a profound effect on your retirement. What’s right for you? Ask your professional advisor.

UBC researcher wins top award for mining study Morning Star Staff
It has been a long road for University of B.C. researcher Craig Nichol to help devise a green solution to mitigate landscape contamination from mine tailings. Nichol, an assistant profes-
sor in earth and environmental sciences in the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences at UBC’s Okanagan campus, and three co-authors were recently awarded the 2014 Thomas C. Keefer Medal for the Best Paper of 2013 in hydrotech-
nical, transportation, or environmental engineering by the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers. The award-winning paper examines the type and amount of materials used to cover mine tailings and how they
may prevent contamination, or acid rock drainage from the tailings. Titled the Evaluation of a Single-layer Desulphurized Tailings Cover, it was published in the Canadian Geotechnical Journal in May 2013.

chieving the retirement lifestyle you want depends on many things – your health, your plans for travelling, volunteering or even starting a new career.

And while meandering through storefront facades in the modern history gallery, we retrace B.C.’s timeline back to the 1700s. Not wanting to wake our sleeping boy, we bypass the museum’s IMAX, a six-story-high theatre with surroundsound. Although it would clearly heighten our boomer senses, it might arouse our grandbaby from blissful slumber –a definite no-no! Instead, we infuse him with a taste of culture at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. Seven separate galleries in this vibrant venue are home to nearly 18,000 objects d’art. While ambling past the varied collection of Canadian, historical and Asian works, Keegan babbles and coos, as if giving his two cents worth. He really perks up in the Emily Carr exhibit. And who wouldn’t? This Canadian icon of the arts captured B.C. landscapes in a unique way and was equally talented with the pen. The simple abode is certainly no mansion, but the next attraction on our list sure is. Everyone likes snooping through a castle. Apart from the moat and drawbridge, Craigdarroch boasts all the citadel traits: turrets, towers, gothic chimneys — quite the contrasting architecture to its modern day neighbors! “It reminds me of the Addams Family,” I say, while posing with Keegan for a photo
moment. Although the impressive structure could easily serve as a set for the 1991 comedy flick, this former home of Joan Dunsmuir is the real McCoy. The 39-room, 26,000-square-foot manor is decked out with imported white oak and one of Canada’s finest collections of stained and leaded glass. Lavish décor, period pieces and fine paintings are topped off with coiffed ceilings. And 87 stairs escalate four-anda-half floors to a viewboasting tower. Our leisurely pace continues during one final attraction — a stroll through Beacon Hill Park. One might wonder what the allure is for children here. Although the flower-bordered footpaths weaving throughout its 24.8 verdant hectares are eyecatching, and looking up at the world’s largest totem pole at 39 metres may make you feel woozy, they won’t likely be on the must-see kid list. Maybe the pretty peacocks, adventure playground and water park will be. If not, undoubtedly the petting zoo will. Bleating sheep, braying alpacas, hee-hawing donkeys – wander alongside potbellied pigs, ducks and goats. We hear and pet them all. It’s too bad we can’t say the same for Keegan. After this day of family fun stuff, he’s all about the snooze. Jane Cassie is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Churchill takes aim at national rodeo TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
Cole Churchill is riding high these days after conquering the provincial and national rodeo events this past year. He is now saddling up for today’s start of the National High School Finals Rodeo in Rock Springs, Wyo. “I’m feeling pretty good in the arena this year,” said Churchill. The NHSFR is the world’s largest high school rodeo, featuring more than 1,500 cowboys and cowgirls from North America and Australia. “I’ll be down there for saddle bronc riding and tie down roping. I am also a steer wrestler and I do the team roping, just not at this rodeo,” said Churchill. The 5-foot-11 Pleasant Valley grad lives in Westwold, where he trains in a small rodeo arena on his ranch. He is able to practise the roping events there, but doesn’t have the horses to practise saddle bronc riding. “It’s not something I can practise at home. I’ll go down there, find out what horse I’m riding and see how it goes,” said Churchill. Ozzie Leaf has been involved with the Falkand Stampede for more than 50 years. As past president and current advertisement chairman, he has seen Churchill ride for many years. “He seems to be a natural at saddle bronc riding. He has the smarts and the timing for tie down

Westwold’s Cole Churchill, a graduate of Armstrong’s Pleasant Valley Secondary, begins competition today in tie down roping and saddle bronc at the National High School Finals Rodeo in Wyoming. roping and team roping,” said Leaf. It’s that fearlessness that earned Churchill an invite to the NHSFR after finishing in the top four of the B.C. High School Rodeo this past year. He won the BCHSR boys south division with 249 points after eight events. Churchill captured the all around championship at the Canadian High School Finals
Rodeo last July in Nanton, Alta. He finished second in steer wrestling with a combined time of 35.5 seconds, second in boys cutting and fourth in tie down roping with a combined time of 45.3 seconds. “I try and stay focused before my ride. I get my mind right and everything takes care of itself,” said Churchill. The blonde-haired, soft spoken cowboy will make the two-day
drive to Rock Springs for the third year in a row. His best finish came two years ago in the steer wrestling where he placed ninth. “We went down there and I wasn’t expecting much. But he ended up finishing ninth, it made me open my eyes like, wow, he has a chance to make it in this,” said his father Jason Churchill. The rodeo bloodlines are thick in the Churchill family. Cole has
been around the rodeo ever since he can remember. “I probably started around four years old. My family has always been involved in the rodeo, so I guess I was born into it,” said Churchill. Added Cole’s father, “he’s already a better cowboy than I ever was.” Cole’s grandfather is Mr. Rodeo, Merv Churchill. Merv was inducted into the Canadian Rodeo Hall of Fame in 2013 for his many years of organizing the Falkland Stampede. Cole’s cousin, Clayton Moore, is dominating the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association. Moore is fresh off being crowned the Canadian champion in steer wrestling. Moore of Pouce Coupe, B.C., closed out his Canadian Finals Rodeo run with a 4.4 in the final round to clinch his first Canadian title. Churchill spends time with Moore at his ranch in Dawson Creek. Hanging around with the pro is starting to rub off on Churchill. “I’d like to turn pro one day. I just want to continue competing as long as I can,” said Churchill. The Falkland and Calgary Stampedes are both on the young man’s radar one day. After the NHSFR, Churchill will head down to Western Oklahoma State College with a few of his horses on a rodeo scholarship. Churchill wants to be an electrical engineer.
Latest trio of recruits impress Vipers management Morning Star Staff
Two forwards and a defenceman have been added by the Vernon Vipers. The B.C. Hockey League club announced the signings of forwards Trevor Fidler and Ayden McDonald, along with d-man Liam Feeney, for the upcoming season. Fidler, a native of Watertown, Mass., played last season for the South
Shore Kings of the USPHL, where he scored seven goals and added 21 assists for 28 points in 33 games with the Kings. Prior to last season, he was a teammate of Feeney’s at Dexter Prep School in Brookline, Mass. “Trevor is a player I have
been recruiting for a couple of years,” said Vipers head coach and general manager Jason Williamson. “I believe he will be able to come in and make an immediate impact on our lineup. He plays a lot bigger than his size and has the ability to put up great
numbers in our league.” Feeney, who hails from Foxboro Mass., played last season for Dexter (stats unavailable), and was captain of the team. Called by Williamson “a very steady defenceman,” Feeney was a teammate of former Viper Mark Hamilton. “Liam is very solid in all aspects of the game,” said Williamson. “He will be able
to log minutes in all situations and will be a very reliable player for us.” McDonald, from Langley, played last season for the Richmond Sockeyes of the Pacific Junior Hockey League, helping the Sockeyes reach the championship final. He scored 26 goals and added 17 assists in 41 games for the Sockeyes.
“Ayden is a big power forward that has a knack for scoring goals,” said Williamson. “Ayden will bring good size to our lineup. He was a player I got to watch several times last season and got better each time I saw him play. He has a very bright future with us.” The trio will be in Vernon for the start of the Vipers’ training camp Aug. 29.

Hawthorne rides waves into Games ROGER KNOX
Morning Star Staff
Technically, Reece Hawthorne’s first experience on a wakeboard came when his mom, Jodi, was eight months pregnant with him. Officially, Hawthorne’s first experience on an actual wakeboard came when he was one and was standing between his dad Rex’s legs. Since then, there have been many solo efforts behind a boat for the Grade 9 Fulton student, who will compete in wakeboarding and wakeskating at the B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo July 17-20. “Wakeskating is wakeboarding without bindings and you’re pretty much doing skateboarding tricks,” said Hawthorne, who turns 14 in September. He prefers to have the bindings on his feet. “I definitely prefer wake-
boarding,” said Hawthorne. “There are more tricks that are easy to do. Wakeskating is more flat tricks instead of jumping the (boat’s) wake. I like getting the air time.” Hawthorne has been spending his summer vacation preparing for the Games. He’s been working on things like a tantrum, which, in his sport, is a backflip, as well as scarecrows (a front 180 flip) and lots of 180s with grabs (grabbing the board). “I got a bag of tricks,” he smiled. Hawthorne, who also plays hockey, soccer, rugby, basketball and volleyball, will leave at 1 a.m. Thursday on a bus with the Okanagan Zone 2 wakeboarding and water ski team for Nanaimo. Once on the Island, he and the other competitors will get a practice run behind the events’ official boat. Competition begins Friday.

The Vernon Source for Sports Tigers mauled the Armstrong Shamrocks 18-5 in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League playoff action Thursday night at Hassen Arena. The Tigers lead 2-0 in the best-of-five first round series. Game 3 was scheduled for Saturday night at Kal Tire Place. “We came to play like we do every game. We started well and attended to our business,” said Tigers’ coach Keith Hanna. The Shamrocks chose to play Game 2 at Hassen for the atmosphere. “I thought the fans were pretty good. They kept cheering us on all night,” said Shamrocks’ head coach Brett Logan. Tigers’ coach Wes Landels thought the cramped feel to the arena was a little homecoming-ish. “Most of our kids grew up playing in this arena, so it wasn’t anything new to us,” said Landels. His son, Darrell Landels, led the Tigers with five goals and two assists. He was the third star in Game 1 with two goals and two assists. “I’m working well with my teammates right now. LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR Connor Buick and Jay Seaton are setting me up good,” Brock Wagner of the Vernon Tigers protects the ball from Cole MacFarlane of the said Landels.

Raiders take playoff finals preview Morning Star Staff
The Kelowna Raiders rolled the Armstrong Shamrocks 11-5 in a precursor to the Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League final Friday night at Memorial Arena. It was the regular season finale so both teams played a little more tentatively than normal. Nobody wanted to see any injuries or suspensions with the finals looming on Tuesday. The Kamloops Rattlers (2-8) pulled out of the playoffs due to player shortages, so the Raiders will host the Shamrocks in Game 1 of the league final 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Memorial Arena. Game 2 goes Friday night in Armstrong, 7:30 p.m., at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. “It was good to get a few kinks out and work on a few things. We haven’t played in a few weeks here,” said Shamrocks’ goaltender
Chad Pieper. Armstrong received a pair of goals from Thomas Belanger, while Kriss Yargeau, Carston Schlaak and Pat Nelson added singles. “We need to play disciplined and stay out of the penalty box. We got a good powerplay but it isn’t effective when its not on the floor,” said Pieper. Pieper was replaced halfway through the period by Tristen Parece of the junior Kelowna Raiders. Raiders’ runner Joe Brown bagged four goals, while Victor Weins, Luke Baily and Chris Phillips each sniped a pair and Jacob Illichman added a single. Armstrong’s Shaun Koenig and the Raiders Devin Lorneson got involved in big dust up. Lorneson was forced to leave the game due to a bloody face.
Noakes does it with hat trick for Mud Sharks Morning Star Staff

The Mud Sharks (8-2) were led by three goals from Hailey Noakes and a pair of g-notes from Lenai Schmidt, while Courtney Douma, Shaylan Zecchel and Bryanna Cole added singles. Celine Connelly’s hard work nearly paid off for the Attack (1-9), as she came close to scoring on several great plays.
Sistas stifle Chickkickers
The OTC/Sunterra Sistas shoved the Chickkickers OMG 6-1 at Marshall Field #1. Deanna Baker pulled a hat trick while Cassandra Otto sniped a pair for the Sistas. The first came on a corner and the second was set up by her mother, Angela Otto. Diane Neudorf added a single and Becky Birbillis made key saves for the Sistas (9-1). The Chickkickers fell to 2-9-1.

Vernon Kal Tire brushed back West Kelowna 4-2 at Constable Neil Bruce Field. Central midfielder Dennis Chabot scored a deuce for the Tiremen (4-5-1).

Chili’s narrowly miss playoffs Morning Star Staff
The Vernon U14 H&L Glass Chilipeppers finished 11th in an extremely competitive B.C. girls fastball championships in Ridge Meadows. The Chili’s ended up 4-3, but were 2-2 after the round robin and narrowly missing the championship bracket. “One team finished 3-1, 12 more finished 2-2. It was amazing how close everybody was,” said Chilipeppers coach Warren Carter. “It was the most competitive provincials in years.” The Chilipeppers clipped Coquitlam 12-4 in the B-side bronze medal game. The Peppers edged New Westminister 4-3 and downed Carnardon of Victoria 6-2 in other consolation play. Vernon mauled Mission 7-5 and iced North Delta 6-5 in the preliminary round. Prince George stuffed the Chili’s 3-2 and Chilliwack grazed Vernon 10-4
in the must win games. A win over Prince George would have catapulted the Chilipeppers into second after the round robin. The Chilipeppers received outstanding pitching from Ellen Campbell, Lindsay Crandlemire, and Emily Wright. The backstop tandem of Abby Williamson and Layna Wright threw out six base runners. Emma Carter, Kaylee Crandlemire, Alana Baker, and Jill Pipke crushed balls all around the yard and Aly Carter, Erin Baker, Morgan Gore made stellar plays on defence. “They all played fantastic ball all weekend. All the girls should be very proud. The girls showed what hard work and persistence does. Two years ago at districts, we didn’t win a game, with essentially the same group,” said coach Blair Campbell.

Lumby goes live with music richard rolke Morning Star Staff
The sounds of summer are beating strong in Lumby. Lumby Live, a series of free concerts, kicked off recently and it will be held every Wednesday (except Aug. 13) from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Arbor Park gazebo until Aug. 20. “This is a great opportunity for local artists,” said Randal Ostafichuk, organizer. “Some nights there will be one band and on other nights, there will be two bands.” Hitting the stage this Wednesday are Christine Kendal-Ward and Bruce Collis, while the act for July 23 is to be announced. On July 30, there will be the Mabel Lickers and Cheaper Than A Porsche, followed by the Harmonashees and Sylvain Vallee Aug. 6. The final concert will feature Young ‘Uns. The goal of Lumby Live is to provide entertainment to the public. “The ideal target audience would be young families where the parents are in their mid-20s to mid-30s,” said Ostafichuk. “Currently, there is very little family friendly entertainment in Lumby on summer evenings. Parents would be able to bring themselves and their children out with no cost to attend.” The response, so far,
Gerry M. Laarakker, Lawyer
has been positive. “Everyone is really enthusiastic and they love the opportunity for family friendly entertainment,” said Ostafichuk. “It’s fantastic and it gives us one more thing to be proud of in Lumby.” If Lumby Live proves popular it could lead to an outdoor performance venue being developed. Ostafichuk has received help from Tim Reardon, the Village of Lumby, Monashee Arts Council, Whitevalley Parks and Recreation, Vernon School District and the Lumby Lions. For information, contact lumbylive@ gmail.com
Why do I need a will?
If you don’t have a will, a court decides who gets your assets. A will is a device that lets you tell the world whom you want to get your assets. Die without one, and the state decides who gets what, without regard to your wishes or your heirs’ needs. Making a will is especially important for people with young children, because wills are the best way to transfer guardianship of minors. You may amend your will at any time. In fact, it’s a good idea to review it periodically and especially when your marital status changes.
We worry, so you don’t have to!

Work on this project began in June and is expected to be complete by the end of October.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY
Taking the Governor General’s Words to Heart With his keynote address to Canada’s community foundations; Canada’s Governor General, David Johnston, issued a challenge – a call to action that resonated deeply. The invitation to build a “smart and caring nation” as Canada approaches its 150th birthday in 2017 galvanized a new way of thinking about the work of community foundations across the country. The Community Foundation of the North Okanagan has taken the Governor General’s words to heart. We are delighted to invite you to invest in our community’s future through our Smart & Caring Community Fund. Governor General David Johnston
Each year, the income from this endowed fund will be used to increase our granting impact. In Spring 2014 we distributed close to $90,000 to local charities who applied for help with their valuable programs. With your support, we can increase that dramatically!
is from our annual grant application process, with the remaining 80% distributed from “directed funds”, where the donor has specified the recipient charities. The Foundation distributed over $400,000 in total for 2013/2014. The genius of the Governor General’s challenge rests in its simplicity and flexibility. It compels us to use both our hearts and our minds to make this great nation even greater. The smart and caring movement connects us all – from coast to coast – in a sense of common purpose, strengthening our nation, one community at a time. While we will always help donors support their favourite causes, we’re working hard to increase discretionary funds to enable our board and grants committee to react to immediate community needs. We’re starting to see donations coming to the Foundation specifically for the Smart & Caring Community Fund; a trend we know will continue - There are so many ways to give. You can start a named endowment fund that will continue to provide income to our community forever, or you can give a simple one time donation of any amount at any time. Whether a gift is large or small, it all helps our community! Contact Leanne Hammond at 250-542-8655 or email Leanne@cfno.org to find out more.
About 20% of the funding support the Foundation provides in the region
Foundation Past President Creates An Endowment In 1994, Gail Hamilton joined the Community Foundation as a director. She became President in 2002 and in the 2004 Report to the Community, the first of what has become an annual publication, Gail wrote the following.
the community that the Directors saw fit. “We wanted the income to be used for present day needs,” said Gail. “We wanted to leave a legacy that would support a variety of community causes that might change over time.”
“It is the ongoing commitment of CFNO to support the lasting legacy of the endowment funds – making a difference in the community today and in the future - that I find so appealing.”
Another organization with which Gail is involved is The Vernon Welsh Society. There’s an old Welsh saying,” said Gail, “that to be born Welsh is to be born with music in your blood and poetry in your soul.”
That same year Gail and her husband, Richard, decided to start their own endowment. “As a Board of Directors we were out there asking for donations,” said Gail. “Richard and I thought it was important to be making a donation of our own.”
Toward that end the Welsh Society started an endowment to provide a music scholarship fund for local school students. It provides a modest sum of money each year for a music student and the Society tops up the endowment whenever they have extra funds. “It’s a wonderful way to create a lasting legacy.”
Gail Hamilton “We add to it a bit at a time,” said Richard, “so over the years the endowment has grown fulfilling our wish for a lasting legacy for the “I really like that the Foundation keeps administration costs at 1% or community.” less so there isn’t a large overhead,” said Gail, “and I have great comfort The Hamiltons chose to create their endowment without a designated that the Foundation Board will continue to manage the endowments in a recipient so that income from the endowment could be used anywhere in proper manner for the benefit of the entire community.”

Community Foundation of the North Okanagan …
A Message from the President Community Foundations across Canada are fortunate to enjoy the backing of the Governor General, His Excellency The Right Honourable David Johnston, a longtime Community Foundation supporter, who introduced the concept of Smart and Caring Communities shortly after taking office. The concept is also strongly supported by British Columbia’s Lieutenant Governor, The Honourable Judith Guichon, OBC, whom the Foundation had the privilege of hosting at a luncheon in Vernon earlier this year.
A Major New Annual Event in Vernon
You will hear much more about the Smart and Caring Communitty Fund in months to come as the Foundation undertakes a campaign to increase endowments within the Fund to provide increased discretionary funding for our area.
His Excellency issued a challenge to all Canadians to create smart and caring communities focused on philanthropy and volunteerism, learning and innovation, and families and children. Community Foundations responded by creating Smart and Caring Community Funds to assist with the development of these and other areas within their communities.
I’m very pleased to report that your Foundation continues to grow at a healthy rate through Mike Tindall, a combination of increased donations to CFNO President existing and new endowments and diligent management of your investments. From a low point of $7.4 million in 2008, the Foundation has grown to $13.7 million in funds under management at the time of this writing.
In the North Okanagan, the Community Foundation Smart and Caring Community Fund is composed of all the endowments that have not been directed to a specific cause by the original donors, and it’s the annual earnings from this pool of endowments which the Foundation, through its Grants Committee, is able to distribute each year to grant applicants from throughout the North Okanagan. This year, 21 community groups received project funds totaling over $87,000.
This is largely due to the efforts of a strong board of skilled and dedicated volunteer directors, our Executive Director, Dave Fletcher, and more recently our Director of Development, Leanne Hammond, coupled with the continuing advice and support of Dave Ellis from RBC Dominion Securities. The Foundation is fortunate to also enjoy the contributions of our enthusiastic volunteers and I consider it a distinct honour to work with every one of them.

“This will be the largest marching, musical, singing and dancing extravaganza ever to come to the North Okanagan.” That’s how Norm Crerar, Producer-Director describes the Okanagan Military Tattoo slated for Kal Tire Place August 1 and 2. “Yes, I’m the producer-director,” said Crerar, “and also the head cheerleader and salesman and whatever else it takes to make this work. I’ll probably be cleaning up afterward,” he laughed. The Tattoo will feature over 400 performers during the two days, about 225 from the North Okanagan and the balance from across B.C. and Alberta including dozens of dancers, drums, bands, bagpipes and kilts all on a single stage. The term “Tattoo,” originated 300 years ago when the British Army was fighting in Belgium. Soldiers were called in each night at curfew or, “Doe den tap toe,” Dutch for “turn off the tap,” which evolved into “tap-too” and eventually “tattoo.” Led by Vernon’s Kalamalka Pipe Band and Aaron Campbell Memorial Youth Pipe Band, the two night performance currently has confirmed 19 bands, dance groups, choral groups and community organizations.

A Donor’s Story Putting something back into the community has led Gary Huston and his family to create a permanent fund with the Community Foundation. Gary’s professional work as an accountant and an investment advisor has shown him investing time, money and talents can result in a desired positive outcome. Gary served on the Board of Directors for the Community Foundation North Okanagan for approximately 10 years intentionally giving his time and talent to enhance the Community. His financial Gary and Sandi Huston knowledge and talents were appreciated as the Foundation’s funds under management grew. Working with the Community Foundation Grants Committee it became evident The Huston family’s decision to establish a fund augmenting existing revenue would make the contribution both meaningful and relevant. It provides flexibility now and in the future. Donations can be made to the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan by visiting www.cfno.org and clicking on the “Donate Now” button as shown at the right.
“We feel this event could become as big and as important to the North Okanagan as Winter Carnival and Funtastic”, he said,” and with the help of hundreds of volunteers we’re going to make sure that happens.” Tickets are available from Ticketmaster or online at okanagantattoo. ca.

NEW FOUNDATION LOGO The Community Foundation of the North Okanagan is a member of the Community Foundations of Canada (CFC) which represents 191 Community Foundations across the country. Long recognized around the world as a leader in the growth of community foundations, CFC recently developed a new logo and encouraged member foundations to adapt it to their needs. The Community Foundation of the North Okanagan accepted this opportunity while redesigning its own logo and the result is before you today. The six petals represent the six areas within the Foundation catchment area, Vernon, Coldstream, Lumby, Armstrong, Enderby and Spallumcheen, and the colors are borrowed from the CFC logo. We hope you agree that this fresh new approach brightens our pages today and brands the Foundation for tomorrow as we approach our 40th anniversary.

Family Resource Centre Benefits from Foundation Grant “With the generous support of the Community Foundation the Family Resource Centre can now have new flooring throughout the agency. The current floor in the agency is over 18 years old and is threadbare and tough to keep clean despite best efforts. With this help we can replace the carpets with vinyl plank flooring. Our clients can now be served in a non-allergenic, hygienic, and easy to maintain environment.” Grants from The Community Foundations combined with fundraising efforts by staff and volunteers allow the Resource Centre to move ahead quickly with this project. The Agency and the people we serve are most grateful.

There it was, just standing on the corner — new to the neighbourhood and wanting to make friends. The Little Free Library lets people share their favourite reading material and it’s as simple as bring a book, take a book. The locations can be free-standing, like the box put up by the Entner family on East Hill or inside, like the one in Triumph Coffee downtown with steward Kyla Henry. The first one was started by Todd Bol in Wisconsin in 2009 when he built a model of a one-room school house as a tribute to his mother, a former teacher, to share her love of reading with his neighbourhood. Other Little Free Libraries started and now there are more than 15,000 Little Free Libraries with books for children and adults around the world in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. Ryan and Shelby Entner and their children, Aidan and Senna, saw Little Free Libraries when they were traveling in the United States and applied for a charter to start one in Vernon. “We love to read and we wanted to share our love of reading and meet more of our neighbours. We stocked it for the first time and now people are keeping things turning over,” said Shelby. Ryan and Aidan designed the box to go with the 1910 house the family is restoring and set it up with a bench on the corner of their lot near Lakeview Park. “I like reading lots of things, fantasy, spy stuff, dragons, adventure, magic. It’s great,” said Aidan. He and sister, Senna, are both Beairsto school students. She is learning to read English this summer and finding some good books in the Little Free Library box. “It’s been pretty busy. People stop by when they’re going to the park, or walking dogs or pushing strollers. They tell us they really like the idea,” said Ryan. Shelby added, “Our family is having fun doing this for the community and we hope people will drop by and check it out.” People who like books and something good to drink, can find the Triumph Coffee Little Free Library in the community meeting room of the shop. Steward Kyla Henry, an education student at UBC Okanagan, found the idea online and approached Triumph Coffee owners Andrew McWilliam and Robin Hewitt with the idea as they were preparing to open in mid-May. They didn’t

We have a cross-section of books and a cross section of people coming in. Some tree planters picked out some books to take to work with them. Summer is a great time for reading,” said McWilliam, whose three children, Jack, Lucy and Emily, are enjoying trading their books at the Little Free Library. Henry is pleased to see children and adults have more opportunity to read. “For me, it’s mostly about reading. I’m an avid reader and I like to see the community coming together this way. This is easy to do and I’d encourage others to think about it. There are few Little Free Libraries in the province,” she said. “I like to exchange books, too. I’m taking one today because I’m going camping and need some reading material.” Triumph Coffee is also a drop-off point for Spanish-English and English-Spanish dictionaries to be given to migrant farm workers. Dictionaries should be dropped off there or at Wild Oak Cafe in Armstrong by July 31. For more information see RAMAOkanagan.org. To start a Little Free Library, see littlefreelibrary.org.

Yes, areas with a warmer climate, like the Okanagan, have cases of heartworm. In 2010 there was a positive case in Penticton. A study in 2010 done by a pharmaceutical company showed a 60% increase in positive cases of heartworm in Canada in a period from 2002 – 2010. Heartworm is a mosquito transmitted disease. It is spread by mosquitos that become infected with the heartworm larvae while taking a blood meal from an infected dog. When the infected mosquito moves onto another dog for a blood meal, transmission of heartworm occurs. The parasitic worm lives in the arteries of the heart and lung. Fortunately we do not have to deal with heartworm too often in the Okanagan, but it does occur. Many dogs infected may not show any evidence in the early stages of the disease. Since Adult heartworms live in the heart and lung, dogs tend to develop a cough and shortness of breath. The severity and onset of these symptoms depend upon the number of Adult heartworm present. A simple blood test will confirm whether your dog has heartworm disease. Are there preventative medications? Yes, there are prescription products available to prevent Heartworm disease. These medications are administered once a month throughout mosquito season which runs from May thru October.

n our busy lives are we taking the time for conversation, or are we rushing through the news updates from friends and family and missing the stories, thoughts and opinions that make for an enjoyable conversation? Or perhaps a challenging one, that frustrates, educates and motivates us to action. This week a very pleasant conversation with a woman about a recent Michele Blais column reminded me of slowing down and engaging. She reminded me that sometimes we are so busy we forget to just listen, chat, engage. And how rewarding this can be. Our mom was a conversationalist. When you visited with her, whether in person or by phone, there was no TV or radio on for distraction: she was listening and sharing fully, totally present. A friend called her the Queen Mother, because she would hold court at parties we would have and from her comfy chair or lounger she would visit with one person at a time. Listening to their stories, sharing some of her experiences and allowing them to enjoy her full attention. She would learn a great deal in these discussions and this would surprise me because I would not have a clue about their story. Why? Obviously I wasn’t setting the same space for them to share with me. I miss my mother’s voice on the phone,

get the chance to talk to a caring friend or attentive listener and they want to take full advantage of this opportunity. Others may be the total opposite and are great listeners and share little of their own story. Somewhere I hope they do. This is a season for conversation. Campfire chats; walking in the neighbourhood seeing familiar faces; chatting over fences; sitting outside at cafes, hiking, drives, sharing meals together. Taking the time to visit. Talking is how we learn about each other; our histories; share information; educate; train; laugh; connect; grieve. Today there is texting, e-mail, letters, Skype, but my favourite is still to hear the sound of a voice, how the tone can relay emotion, that is my preference. I have a friend who plays backgammon with her husband every day after dinner. It is how they connect at the end of their day as they both have very busy jobs that leave little time for connection during the day. They have dinner, clean up and play this game, and in that time over a cup of tea or a glass of wine they share their days, hopes, dreams, fears or silence. That can be a great connection, saying nothing, but feeling safe. With kids, meals, bedtime stories, drives, lying on the grass looking at the clouds, playing catch are all great settings for chats. I know for myself I want to be present more, I have missed out on information shared because I was distracted. Being in the moment, enjoying the story, the sound of a voice and a human connection.

in person, that cheery tone of hers and her always happy-to-hear-from-me response. Over the years I have developed some great friendships that started over simple conversations and built from there. That’s how it starts: we talk, we connect, we build a relationship. Over a kitchen counter while we drop off kids for a play date, the sidelines of sporting events, kayaking, hiking or work environments; spend time together and something connects. I was a bartender as a young person, in Fort McMurray, London, Toronto and Manhattan Beach, Calif. It was great money, and I enjoyed the fast-paced work and distance the bar gave me from my customers. I always liked to tend bar where there are bar stools, and I still like to sit at the bar when I go to a lounge. Bartenders participate in and hear many conversations, like hair dressers, barbers, estheticians and others in the service industry. When you have regular customers you share in their lives and their stories. Sometimes the bar is like a person’s living room, where they share their successes, celebrations and challenges with friends, and it’s sometimes easier with strangers. Like airplane conversations where someone shares a very personal story or fear, for the need to talk about this, get it off their chest and do so safely with someone they will never see again. People chat in different ways. For some it is easy to engage and chat away, and they may not pay much attention to the other person’s needs to share or their story. Perhaps they live alone and don’t

Mackenzie was the son of a Loyalist, his father Kenneth having joined the King’s Royal Regiment of New York in 1774 shortly after the family’s arrival from Scotland. After his father’s sudden death in 1780, Mackenzie moved to Canada, along with many other Loyalist
families who had sided with the British during the American R e v o l u t i o n a r y Wa r. Most of these families had their possessions and land confiscated by the Americans, and had to start from the ground up in Eastern Canada, starting their lives once again with a Land Grant from the British.

Vernon gets ready for the big tattoo It’s not the needle and ink kind of tattoo, but a ceremony of military traditions in the form of pipes, drums, song, dance, and much more Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Kal Tire Place is about to transform into a ceremonial battlefield, without the gunfire, when the inaugural Okanagan Military Tattoo takes over the arena Aug. 1 and 2. Those unfamiliar with a military tattoo, it is not an inked design embedded on the fleshy arm of a soldier, but a performance based on an ancient military tradition of music, dancing, pipes and drums as well as military displays. “It’s called a tattoo because when the British Army was fighting in Belgium 300 years ago, soldiers were called in from the pubs each night for curfew with ‘doe den tap toe,’ Dutch for ‘turn off the tap’. The expression evolved to tap-too and then tattoo,” said Okanagan Military Tattoo producer Norm Crerar. Visitors to Vernon’s very own tattoo can expect a heavy police presence in the form of the RCMP Pipe Band and the RCMP Ceremonial Troop, along with kilted lads and lassies in a massed pipes and drums, visiting and local military, cadet and community bands, a massed choir, a salute to veterans in commemoration of the outbreak of the First World War, a volunteer firefighters hose reel competition, dance from around the world, and more. The RCMP will add a colourful element to

the royal Canadian artillery Band marches into Vernon to take part in the okanagan military tattoo aug. 1 and 2 at Kal tire Place. the ceremonies, said Crerar. “We have been working with various operating units of the RCMP and our work is paying off,” he said. “In all, there will be some 80 uniformed RCMP in the performance and 10 or so more as support, bringing the total to nearly 100.” Led by pipe major Hugh Peden, the RCMP “E” Division Pipe Band is comprised of both police and civilian volunteers from throughout B.C., who have come together to share and showcase their musical talent, and to bring the community closer to its national police force. Peden will also serve as senior pipe major
for a massed pipes and drums, featuring members from the Kamloops, Kelowna and the Shuswap Pipe Bands, as well as Vernon’s Kalamalka Highlanders and the Arran Campbell Memorial Pipe Band. “When these 100 pipes and drums enter the floor at Kal Tire Place, the sound will be awesome,” said Crerar, a piper with the KHPB. “There is something about the pipes that makes people want to stand and cheer.” Adding to the festivities will be the RCMP Ceremonial Troop, who will perform in much the same manner as the famous RCMP Musical Ride, but will do so on foot instead of
on horses, said Crerar. “I was privileged to see the troop in action at the Pacific Tattoo in Victoria last July and spoke with them then about coming to Vernon,” he said. “Their precision and professionalism is really something to see.” Besides the visiting Calgary Stampede Band of Outriders, who are just coming off a big week in their hometown, a traditional military band will also be a part of the festivities. The Royal Canadian Artillery (RCA) Band has a long tradition of providing musical support to the Canadian Armed Forces. Based in Edmonton since 1997, the band’s existence can be traced back to the end of the 19th century. “(The RCA) is one of six regular force bands stationed throughout Canada, with a complement of 35 full-time musicians,” said Crerar. “From military parades, ceremonial occasions, and government functions, to formal concerts or entertaining their fellow soldiers, the RCA Band can be heard performing in a variety of musical styles nationally and abroad.” International highlights include performances in the U.S., South Korea, Sweden, The Netherlands, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. While in Vernon, the RCA Band will stay at Silver Star Mountain from July 25 to Aug. 3. During this time, they will be working with young musicians in the Vernon Cadet Summer Training Program. (The cadet bands who play pipes, brass and reed instruments, are also performing at the tattoo.) The RCA Band will give a free concert before the tattoo, July 26 at Silver Star Mountain. The performance starts at 7 p.m. and attendees should bring lawn chairs and a jacket in case of cool weather. In the event of inclement weather, the concert will be performed in the 180seat National Altitude Training Centre at the Star. Members of the Kalamalka Highlanders Pipe Band will also make an appearance at the concert.
Salute to Veterans commemorates 100 years since start of First World War Morning Star Staff
In June, 1914 the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo went almost unnoticed in Canada. That would soon change when the European nations of AustriaHungary, Serbia, Russia and Germany, along with the Ottomon Empire (Turkey), started declaring war against one another. On Aug. 2, when Germany declared war on France, Britain took its stand against the Germans two
days later, and the First World War officially began. Because of its ties with Britain, Canada immediately began supplying troops for overseas service. According to Veteran Affairs Canada, Canadians greeted the outbreak of war with enthusiasm, especially those born in the British Isles who volunteered in large numbers. In the trenches and muddy battlefields, Canadian troops fought bravely in the third Battle of Ypres
115th
and at Passchendaele and joined the allies in arguably the most famous battle of them all, Vimy Ridge. To commemorate the centennial of the outbreak of the First World War, a special Salute to Veterans is being planned for the upcoming Okanagan Military Tattoo at Vernon’s Kal Tire Place Aug. 1 and 2. “The tribute is to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice and those who have dedicated their
lives to the defence and security of their country, in war and in peace,” said Norm Crerar, tattoo producer. “Traditionally, tattoos have provided an opportunity for civilians to witness the precision and professionalism of the military. The Okanagan Military Tattoo is no exception.” Headliners such as the RCMP “E” Division Pipe Band, the Calgary Stampede Band of Outriders and the Royal Canadian Artillery Band will help draw the crowds, but organizers say they feel the most
poignant, emotional and memorable part of the two-hour program will be dedication to recognize and pay tribute to Canada’s veterans. The Okanagan Military Tattoo is the only military-style tattoo in Western Canada. Specially priced tickets for veterans, as well adult, senior, student and family rates are available at the Ticket Seller at www.ticketseller.ca or call 250549-7469. All seating is reserved.

Diamond’s music still shines Morning Star Staff
His voice may not be what it used to be, but Neil Diamond can still sell out concerts and provoke girlish screams from the audience. Not your typical heartthrob, Diamond is revered for his songwriting and story-telling, and his charisma was – and still is – legendary, says tribute artist Joey Purpura, who has lived and breathed Diamond’s music since 2004. Purpura has travelled across Canada and parts of the Caribbean with his tribute show, Diamond in the Rough, and is about bring it to Vernon’s Schubert Centre in a fundraiser for the Vernon Legion, July 25. “I’ve always been able to do voices, as long as I could remember,” said the 39 year old. “When I found out I could do a pretty good Neil Diamond, my friends encouraged me to go on stage.” While growing up, Purpura says Diamond wasn’t on his radar, so he says he had to start from the ground up when it came to performing his music. In 2002, the Torontobased impersonator began researching the singer’s life, studying his every move, as well as the songs and stories behind the music. He found a Las Vegas-based designer able to replicate Diamond’s glittery costumes of the mid-’70s. “I wanted to research his life because I not only sing his songs, I tell a story and highlight his life just to make it more interesting,” said Purpura. He searched for little known facts about the singer. For instance, Diamond grew up in the same neighbourhood as Barbra Streisand. They went to the same school and sang in the same choir. Purpura also discovered Diamond was a premed student and was six months and 10 credits short of a degree when he abandoned his studies to pursue music. “He recorded and released a lot of albums and so he has a huge backlog of music,” said

Toronto tribute artist Joey Purpura performs his ode to the legendary Neil Diamond at the Schubert Centre in Vernon July 25. Purpura about the singer’s international appeal. “And he continues to tour. His music is very diverse and his songs, as one biographer said, ‘cut through your heart and soul, making you feel his pain, anguish and joy.’”
Purpura brings Diamond in the Rough to the Schubert Centre Friday, July 25 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 in advance, available at the Ticket Seller, 250-5497469, www.ticketseller. ca, or $30 at the door.
Live Well
HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist SUSAN CARRIE
As we get older, our bodies break down alcohol more slowly. If you combine this with the fact that body water content also goes down, then a set amount of alcohol affects an older person much more than a younger one. Seniors must be very careful of the amount of alcohol they consume because it does interact with many drugs and can make some health conditions like diabetes worse. When you got for your annual physical, be sure to ask for an occult blood test kit. The kit will test for blood in the stools and is part of the screening for colon cancer, the second most common cause of cancer deaths in Canada. Many people take drugs that reduce the amount of stomach acid. Many people also take calcium supplements. Calcium is better absorbed in an acid environment. Calcium carbonate is one of these. However, if your stomach acid is reduced, try calcium citrate for better absorption. By the way, this same consideration should be given to those who take vitamin B12 orally. This vitamin also needs stomach acid to absorb well. If you do take stomach acid-suppressing drugs, you may be better off with B12 injections. There is a lot of science that goes into your medications. Knowing when to take the drug, the drug interactions, the side effects and desired outcomes - it’s our job to pass that information on to you. Use our pharmacy. Use our knowledge.

Tammy is no Molly

Tammy
M
elissa McCarthy is Tammy, a down-on-her-luck lovable loser. When she loses her job at a burger joint and finds her husband cavorting with the next door neighbour, Tammy moves down the block to her parents’ home. It isn’t long before Tammy’s Grandma Pearl (Susan Sarandon) talks her into doing something fun for once in her life, a road trip to Niagara Falls. Tammy ends up babysitting her profane, diabetic, drunk grandma, falling in love anew and learning a few valuable life lessons along the way. We say, “Tammy is the most likeable McCarthy character yet, but she’s not that funny.” TAYLOR: I harbour a naturally gained distaste for loud and obnoxious people, on which Melissa McCarthy has built her entire career. So I went into the film with some trepidation. I was pleased to find Tammy to be likeable enough, a sad, simple goofball of a woman, not unlike people we’ve all known in life. The film didn’t offend me, nor did it seem particularly silly or unbelievable. I had a pleasant time with Tammy, but I did not laugh, not once. HOWE: I don’t find McCarthy that funny or entertaining, be it on TV or the big screen. She seems to play the same old character, which is a shame because from the last couple of movies she has made there is some acting ability hiding within her somewhere.

Reel Reviews
Taylor and Howe
Yet, saying that, Tammy is the best film in which I have seen her, but that may be due to the fact that she is surrounded by some great talent, Sarandon and Kathy Bates just to name a couple. When either one of these actresses are on screen they tend to steal the limelight from her. I guess the big question is, did it do its job and make me laugh? Well, it did a couple of times, but not due to its star. BROOKE (guest reviewer and Howe’s teenage daughter): Watching the messy, disastrous life of Tammy made me feel as though mine has some slight organiza-
tion to it. The story seemed almost predictable at times and yet I was held completely engaged by the sheer randomness of everything. I had quite a few laughs, many due to the alcoholic grandma, Tammy’s social oddities and her awkward situations. I enjoyed rooting for her to pull through and escape the

The
Bridge by Phillip Alder A SECOND TRIP TO CARD PLACING James Carville, a political commentator, said, “The best time to plant an oak tree was 25 years ago. The second best time is today.” In yesterday’s deal, East used the bidding and early play to place the missing high cards and to work out the best defense against four hearts. Here is a second deal along the same lines. South is in four hearts. West leads the spade queen. South wins with his ace and plays a trump to dummy’s queen. What should East do? South rebid three no-trump because North might have raised hearts with only three-card support if he had a minimum opening bid
with, for example, 1-3-5-4 distribution. Here, though, North corrected to the heart game because he had two unstopped suits and four strong hearts. East should wonder which four tricks his side might win. Since West’s opening lead marks South with the spade ace and king, there are no spade winners available. East has one heart trick. There are no diamond winners, because even if South is missing the king, the finesse is working. So the defenders need three club tricks, or two clubs and a club ruff. This should make East’s path clear. He must win with his heart ace and shift to the club five. Now the spotlight falls on
South. If he rises with his club king, he will make the contract (with an overtrick if he draws trumps, cashes his spade and diamond winners, and endplays West with his club queen). But if South finesses his jack, West wins with his queen, returns the club two and receives a club ruff for down one.

Obituaries
Cheryl is predeceased by her father, Ross Phillips and son, Jeīery. Cheryl is lovingly remembered and survived by her husband, Mike Grywacheski, daughter, Stacey (Ken) Davidson, grandchildren Blake and Brady Davidson, mother, Laura Eovikoī, as well as, sisters Brenda (Fred) Wrona and Peggy (Dwayne) Erickson. She is also fondly remembered as “Aunty Cheryl͟ to Keri, Kaley, Kori, Janelle and KaƟe. Though she was taken away much too early, Cheryl’s kind spirit, genuine smile and infecƟous laugh will remain a part of the many people she encountered in her life. She was selŇess and always put the needs of others ahead of herself. Cheryl was a beauƟful person who deeply cherished the Ɵme she spent with family and friends. She loved gardening with Mike in their beauƟful yard, sleepovers with her grandchildren Blake and Brady, and pizza nights with Stacey, Ken and the boys. She enjoyed walking with the girls, camping and concerts with friends, and of course a glass of chardonnay with her special friend, Gail. Instead of a funeral, Cheryl wanted her friends and lovedͲones to come together in celebraƟon. An open-house in remembrance of Cheryl will be held at Mike and Cheryl’s home, on Sunday, August 3rd starƟng at noon. In lieu of Ňowers, memorial donaƟons may be made to North Okanagan Hospice Society at 350627th Avenue, Vernon, BC.
