Investigators have confirmed arson as the cause of the Kin Race Track grandstand fire.
Heat sparks Okanagan campfire ban RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A summer tradition has been extinguished. Extremely dry and hot conditions have forced the provincial government and all municipalities and electoral areas to ban campfires. “It’s an issue of public safety and that’s our first priority,” said Melissa Welsh, with the provincial Kamloops Fire Centre.

Arson confirmed Who is responsible for the destruction of Vernon’s Kin Race Track grandstand remains a mystery. Investigators have determined that arson, and not electricity, was the cause of the July 9 blaze that swept through the wooden structure. “I’m not aware of any suspects being identified through the investigation,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. It also has not been determined if the grandstand fire is related to a rash of other arsons in the area. “We can’t say one way or the other,” said Molendyk. “We are looking at all of them to see if evidence ties them together but this one is different because of the size of the fire.” When asked if the police are reviewing potential links between the fire and community debate over the use of the property, Molendyk said, “We look at all aspects of every fire.” Electrical had to be ruled out as a potential cause because power upgrades to the grandstand had been ordered by the B.C. Safety Authority. Fire officials have stated that the electricity was turned off in the building. Public assistance to solve the case is still being sought. “We have had photographs and videos of the fire provided to us but if people have information on who is responsible for this fire or any of the fires, please come forward,” said Molendyk. “The community as a whole is concerned about the number of fires.”

outside of areas with fire protection. Most communities are also banning campfires, including Vernon. “This step is being taken to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety,” said Tanya Laing Gahr, Vernon’s communications co-ordinator. Others initiating a ban are Lumby, the Regional District of North Okanagan, Spallumcheen, Lake Country, Enderby, the Splatsin First Nation, the Okanagan Indian Band, Armstrong, the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District and the Regional District of Central Okanagan. Open burning, other than with a permit, is not permitted in Coldstream at any time. The ban applies to open fires of any size, fires

with a burn registration number, industrial burning, fireworks, tiki torches and burning barrels. The prohibition does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes. It was decided to ban campfires because if they spread, they divert firefighting resources away from blazes caused by lightning. “They (lighting) require more than initial attack crews. We need to cut down on humancaused fires,” said Welsh. Under provincial rules, anyone violating an open fire ban may be issued a ticket for up to $345. Anyone who causes a wildfire through arson or recklessness, may be fined up to $1 million, spend up to three years in prison and be accountable for associated firefighting costs.

The investigation continues into an accident that claimed the life of a Vernon youth. On Sunday at about 11:10 p.m., a 17-year-old boy was riding his longboard at 39th Street and Okanagan Avenue when he was struck by a vehicle. He died from his injuries at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. “We have identified who the young person is and officers have spoken to family members,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. It took some time to identify the individual because he did not have any identification on him. The coroner’s office has not released his name. It’s believed the incident may have occurred when the longboarder failed to stop at a stop sign. “It was dark at the time and the driver of the vehicle involved didn’t see him until it was too late to take evasive action,” said Molendyk. “It’s a very tragic situation.” The driver of the vehicle has co-operated with the police. RCMP continue to gather information about the case. “The crash analyst is working on the case and officers are conducting a mechanical inspection of the vehicle,” said Molendyk, adding that mechanical inspections are standard. “At the end of the day, there could possibly be a civil case or it goes to court and we are expected to answer questions in court so we do a thorough investigation because we don’t know what will happen in two or three years (with legal action).”

Wildfire under attack richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Progress is being made on a wildfire burning about 40 kilometres north of Cherryville. As of Tuesday morning, the Mt. Nelson fire, near Sugar Lake, remained at 107 hectares in size. “It has calmed down,” said Kelsey Winter, a fire information officer with the Kamloops Fire Centre. “There was no significant growth overnight.” The factors that have helped in tackling the blaze is steady bucketing of water by helicopters, increased humidity overnight and a lack of strong winds. The initial report of the wildfire came in Saturday just before 1 p.m. It’s believed the cause may be a hold-over lightning strike from a couple of weeks ago. There are no structures in the area but crews are trying to protect valuable stands of timber. “We want to minimize the size of the fire and keep it from spreading,” said Kayla Pepper, a fire information officer. Currently, the fire is spreading into the higher elevations. “There is still some snow in that area which creates a natural break for us,” said Pepper. To report a fire or smoke sighting, call 1-800-663-5555 or *5555 on a mobile phone.

Crosswalks aim to curb speeding richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Traffic calming is proceeding in a Vernon neighbourhood but not to the extent originally proposed. City council decided Monday to install crosswalks at three sections of 25th Street as a way of slowing down motorists and enhancing pedestrian Brian Quiring safety.
“It’s a first step to make that community safer,” said Coun. Brian Quiring. However, other measures such as possibly right-in and right-out access at intersections are on hold until at least 2015. “There are other things we want to consider,” said Quiring. “We are doing the right thing by looking at it further.” The city required 66 per cent support from residents in the immediate neighbourhood for the entire traffic management plan but that fell short at 63 per cent. As a result, staff recommended cross-

Council has also instructed staff to take immediate steps to contact some of the nearby businesses who generate through traffic on 25th Street. “A significant amount of traffic and problem is coming from trucks and contractors (for local businesses),” said Quiring. “We need to look at how to deal with that.”

Amateur MMA remains but pro events gone richard rolke
Morning Star Staff
NOW OPEN FOR THE SEASON
Local youth can continue to pursue mixed martial arts titles. The City of Vernon is proceeding with a ban on professional mixed martial arts events, but it will not include those
tournaments deemed to be amateur because they are sanctioned provincially. “Amateur is under the B.C. Athletic Commission already and not an area we need to tread,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky.
City staff had recommended banning professional and amateur MMA within municipal limits. “The recommendation was based on the health and well-being of the participants and especially youth,”
“It’s a good thing for the city.”
— Brian Quiring said Will Pearce, chief administrative officer. Plans for the bylaw were put on hold in
June because of the potential impact a ban would have on local MMA schools and their
ability to hold competitions. The city initiated the process to ban MMA events because the police had expressed concerns about criminal activity within the sport. “It’s a good thing for the city,” said Coun. Brian Quiring.
That view was also expressed in the staff report. “While health and safety of participants is a concern, a significant related issue is the apparent relationship of organized crime in at least some professional MMA events,” wrote Pearce.

Fire forced five people out of a Spallumcheen residence. Firefighters were called to a home on Lockhart Drive at about 4:44 a.m. Saturday. “The fire was through the roof and totally consuming the back deck,” said Ian Cummings, Armstrong-Spallumcheen fire chief. A couple who owned the house and three friends were inside when the blaze started. “They managed to get out,” said Cummings.

Fifteen firefighters tackled the blaze for about six hours. The couple had insurance but it’s not known if the structure can be salvaged. “There was major damage to the top floor and it’s mostly burned out. There’s significant smoke and water damage in the basement,” said Cummings. Investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the fire. “It doesn’t appear to be suspicious,” said Cummings.

FUTURE SHOP – Correction Notice
Fabrication plant gets the nod richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Enderby is getting an economic boost. City council has approved a development permit for Cory M. Holdings to construct a fabrication shop on Brickyard Road. “We hope they will bring well-paying jobs which is exciting,” said Mayor Howie Cyr. The company constructs dust collection mechanisms for sawmills and it’s seen as a catalyst for further development in the community’s industrial park.
“It will make others look at Enderby.” — Greg McCune
“We needed someone to go in and it will make others look at Enderby,” said Coun. Greg McCune. The proposal calls for a 930-square-metre fabrication shop and a 189-square-metre office. “No development is proposed to occur within the riparian assess-
ment area which is the 30 metre strip on both sides of the Shuswap River,” said Kurt Inglis, planning assistant, in a memo to council. “It is proposed that access will continue to be gained off of Brickyard Road via two eight-metre-wide driveway aisles. The applicant is proposing
16 right-angle parking stalls.” There would be three loading zones on site. Beyond creating employment, there is the possibility that the company could generate training opportunities. “They want to work with A.L. Fortune Secondary and help students get a trade,” said Cyr, adding that the owner of the company, Cory Martindale, is a former A.L. Fortune graduate. It’s not known when the fabrication shop will open but construction
is expected to begin soon.

Horgan pushes for deal richard rolke Morning Star Staff
NDP leader John Horgan is calling for middle ground to resolve the dispute at B.C. schools. Horgan, who was in Vernon Sunday and Monday, believes mediation is required between the B.C. Teachers Federation and the provincial government. “With wages, they’re not far apart,” he said, adding that progress is needed on the issues of class size and composition. “They don’t have to do (fund) it all at once. They could do it over time.” Horgan also insists a critical component is for Premier Christy Clark, a former education minister, to admit the role she played in teachers’ contracts being ripped up. “My hope is the premier will acknowledge that the courts have ruled twice and said the province is wrong.”
Horgan isn’t sure if the government will mandate teachers back to work as September classes draw near. “They said they won’t do that but they said we would have a fall legislative sitting and we didn’t,” he said. Horgan was in Vernon as part of a tour of constituencies not represented by his party. “I wanted to hear directly from the people and what their concerns are,” said Horgan, who met with party faithful as well as the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce. “I want to take that information and make government better.” Among the issues discussed with the chamber was the need for government investment in culture and trails as a way of enhancing communities and economic opportunities such as tourism. “I hear that governments don’t create employment, businesses do. But they

want to ensure infrastructure (roads, education, health care, culture) are resourced so we can continue to grow and prosper,” said Horgan. Another issue brought to Horgan’s attention is the possibility of invasive zebra and quagga mussels arriving in Okanagan lakes. “It’s a critical problem,” he said of the species that creates toxic algae blooms, litter beaches with sharp shells, clog boat motors and foul water intakes and outfalls. The Okanagan Basin Water Board and local jurisdictions have been urging the provincial government to bring in inspection stations to prevent the spread of the mussels. “We want to put the government on the pin. What are you doing about it?” said Horgan. “The time is now to keep the species out of our province.”

Mindnich, a Lumby councillor. Since MMBC began, there had been a concern that communities such as Lumby did not have the ability to get rid of glass bottles, plastic bags and plastic foam packaging which are not allowed in curbside containers. However, MMBC recently approved a depot in Armstrong and Venture Training’s outlet in Lumby is next. “The addition of the depot in Lumby expands packaging and printed paper recycling options to North Okanagan residents,” said Allen Langdon, MMBC managing director. “We are pleased to be making it easier for residents to recycle more.” The Venture Training depot in Lumby will also accept newsprint, cardboard, household papers, metal containers, electronic waste, light fixtures, batteries, light bulbs and bottles and cans. Langdon was in the North Okanagan meeting with local politicians Monday. Among the concerns raised was the size of the curbside bins and the challenges some residents, and particularly seniors, have lifting them. “There is the ability for residents to request smaller containers,” said Langdon, adding that the smaller bins are two-thirds of the size of the larger containers. Another issue that arose is the design of the bins. “I was surprised they weren’t wheeled and have lids,” said Rob Sawatzky, Vernon mayor, of recycled material sitting out in the rain and snow. “Other communities have that.” However, Langdon says other jurisdictions had wheeled and covered containers before MMBC began and those containers have remained in use. “Bins are used in a lot of other communities and they seem to work well,” he said.

Plant plans open to public JENNIFER SMITH
Treatment for Chronic Foot Pain Available in Kelowna
Morning Star Staff
While proponents call it state-of-the-art and opponents maintain it’s a threat to public health, the public can learn for itself the environmental impacts of a proposed pellet plant in Lavington. Pinnacle Renewable Energy is holding an open house Thursday at the Lavington fire hall from 6 to 9 p.m. The $39 million plant is proposed to be constructed next to the existing Tolko planer mill in Lavington on School Road. The project is a partnership between Pinnacle and Tolko, but Pinnacle is leading Thursday’s open house. “Our purpose there is to gain insight from community members,” said Craig Lodge, vice president of forestry at Pinnacle. The results will help determine the future of the plant and results for the technical assessment report. “We are hopeful that by the end of the calendar year we will get the green light,” said Lodge, adding that the plant could be up and running next year, which will provide 20 full-time employment opportunities. Thursday’s open house will be an opportunity for the public to come see and hear what the plant is all about. “It will be an education for us as well,” said Coldstream’s chief administrative officer Trevor Seibel. The open house is a mandated part of Pinnacle’s air emissions permit application. The plant will have a contaminant discharge of particulate matter calculated as PM10 (a maximum discharge of 8.8kg/hour) and PM2.5 (maximum discharge of 5.3 kg/hr). The facility will operate 24 hours a day/seven days a week. Lavington resident Stephanie Hoffman is concerned with the impact this could have in Lavington (particularly for kids at the nearby elementary

Shockwave Therapy breaks up scar tissue, restoring the function of the muscle and promoting new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. In fact, in a double blind study published in Journal of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society, 90%of patients suffering from heel and arch pain showed significant improvements with Shockwave. Furthermore, Shockwave Therapy (developed to break up kidney stones) has success rates of between 77%-91% in the treatment of other soft tissue conditions. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

Plantar Fasciitis is an overuse injury affecting the fibrous tissue that forms the arch. Heel spurs can form when the fascia tears at the heel attachment and results in pain in the center of the heel. Achilles Tendonitis is irritation of the Achilles where the calf muscle meets the heel and can result in pain in the calf, the Achilles, or the back of the heel. The inflammation from overuse leads to pain as well as deposits of scar tissue, further inflaming the area each time the Achilles or plantar fascia are used. After the body has tried for weeks or months to heal the injury with no

Keep public on track
t’s not surprising that the Okanagan Equestrian Society has specific plans for the insurance money from the grandstand fire. The goal is to have the City of Vernon, as the fund recipient, invest it in infrastructure so Kin Race Track remains the home of horse racing, “We have started negotiations with them and we will see what happens,” said Ed Woolley, society spokesperson. Rightly so, the city isn’t committing to anything at this point. “We will need direction from council who will need thorough background information,” said Will Pearce, Vernon’s chief administrative officer. Hopefully, as part of the process, the city will go directly to the public to determine what residents believe is the best long-term use of the property on 43rd Avenue. Richard Rolke And the public should be consulted because the track is owned by taxpayers (titles in the hands of the Regional District of North Okanagan are in the process of being turned over to the city). The society used to own part of the land but sold its holdings off a few years ago and has simply had a use agreement, which is now the centre of a lengthy court dispute. Since the fire, some people have posted online comments supporting racing and wanting the grandstand rebuilt. That comes as no surprise as there are those who enjoy the sport and appreciate the tradition it has provided in Vernon. However, there are others who have a different view, and that was clearly evident during a recent open house to discuss a replacement ice sheet for Civic Arena. While the plan is to twin Kal Tire Place, some of the speakers cast their eye towards the adjacent race track. “We have an inadequacy with everything.

We need a lot more in Vernon,” said hockey enthusiast Todd Wenger, adding he would like to see a “super property” for recreational activities. And that’s what RDNO was proposing when it developed a master plan for the site — sports fields, two arenas, a BMX track, a gymnastics facility and trails. So with some residents wanting to play the ponies at Kin and others pushing for more broad-based uses, it’s critical for city council to go slow and pursue the best approach. Key to making an ultimate decision is asking the public directly for their vision of the Kin site. There’s a possibility that some of this is already occurring as the city creates a master parks plan for the entire community and input is sought from residents, including recently at Canada Day festivities. However, as the Kin Race Track is a large piece of land and has been the focus of extensive debate for years, there must be a specific focus on what happens there instead of it being over-shadowed by other park plans in Vernon. No matter which option prevails, the Kin property will be an anchor with social and economic implications. Given that horse racing was scrapped for this year, there is time to try and sort things out. That means holding a series of information meetings and providing the opportunity for feedback on the city website and through social media. From there, the Okanagan Equestrian Society can determine if it has the backing of the community or if it’s time to move on. The City of Vernon will have a sense of what its constituents expect and whether they are willing to fund capital works. If there’s any good to come out of the grandstand fire, it may be that the future of Kin Race Track is taken out of the hands of the equestrian society and city officials and put where it should have been right from the start — the public.
The recent heat wave has had most of us basking in the sun and enjoying the great outdoors. But while we are soaking up summer, there is a responsibility that comes with living in an arid climate. As of today, a campfire ban is in effect for all Crown land, including the backcountry and provincial parks, as well as in virtually all municipalities and electoral areas. “We have been experiencing hot and dry conditions and an increased fire danger rating,” said Melissa Welsh, a fire information officer with the Kamloops Fire Centre. “Areas of extreme (risk) are growing fast.” The primary reason campfires are banned is because if they get out of control and threaten homes and lives, they direct limited resources away from fires no one can do anything about — those caused by lightning. “We need to cut down on the human-caused fires,” said Welsh. Obviously campfires are a summer tradition, whether you are sitting down along the lake or in your favourite provincial park. Who doesn’t love roasting marshamallows and tell stories as the flames crackle? But another tradition the Okanagan is becoming known for is wildfire — whether it’s Fintry, Terrace Mountain, Kelowna, Cedar Hills or the current one near Sugar Lake. In some cases, it’s timber that is scorched while at other times, it has been residential homes. Given that so many neighbourhoods are in the interface, including Canadian Lakeview Estates, Mabel Lake and Silver Star, it’s a question of when the next wildfire occurs, not if. Authorities did not easily make the decision to ban campfires but they understand that certain measures are required to ensure that this Okanagan summer doesn’t become an emergency. “It’s an issue of public safety and that’s our first priority,” said Welsh. Please do your part and follow the rules.

Dogs and their owners deserve better
T
he article in The Morning Star of July 6 regarding leashing dogs while at Marshall Field requires rereading. It is hard to believe that responsible people would make a decision with such a restricted viewpoint. Let's compare the reasoning behind the decision to restrict dog access to Marshal Field to leash control only then compare these practices to those of another activity, driving. Like vehicle drivers, dog owners vary; some responsible some not. When the driver of a vehicle is caught driving dangerously or without regard for others that driver is fined and his or her insurance rate is increased. For repeat offenders the increase in insurance rates soar and their right to drive may be revoked. When an accident happens do we legislate all drivers be restricted in their use of the roads? Why not introduce an escalating penalty system to repeat offending dog owners tying the penalty to the registered owners of the dog tags and revoke their right to own or control a dog should the number of repeats become excessive? In a multi-child family, if one child requires discipline, do we spank them all, why so with dog owners? Why are we all lumped in the same doggie bag? There can be many causes for dog attacks including lack of exercise, of stimulus or of freedom. How would you respond to being physically restricted in your movements all day every day? That is the effect response to article Re: The Morning Star article: Former RCMP employee dies in California accident (July 10) As reported, my twin brother, Blair Imrie, was killed in a motorcycle accident on Tuesday, July 8, near Quincy, California. The article in The Morning Star reported favorably regarding Blair's work for the RCMP and the City of Vernon. All the newspaper articles that I have read, including the one in The Morning Star, included a comment about speed being a factor in the accident. As a retired police officer, I am aware that on occasion, where other contributing factors are not known, a factor of "too fast for conditions" is commonly noted on police reports. It's adequately vague to be easily defended; but unfortunately leads others to thoughts of excessive speed, which may not be justified in this case. Wes MacPherson, another retired RCMP officer who was riding with my brother, says there was no indication of excessive speed. He says
with the on-leash proposal. In the natural state, dogs chase prey, they run and they include running in their play, how can they run and exercise when restricted to a leash, how can they even chase a ball when leashed? In the past, at Marshall Field, dogs have been restricted to areas that are not maintained, not fenced, have hidden holes, have coarse stocks, are overgrown with burrs and have been the hiding place for coyotes in areas that are shoulder high with grasses that until the week of July 1, 2014 was not even shoulder width and could not be walked
he followed Blair for about 40 miles prior to the accident and both were driving responsibly, within the speed limit. He says he saw Blair "braking in the turn, possibly for deer as fresh tracks were noted going up the bank." He further notes that there were no warning signs before the curve and the corner was not banked properly. All of these comments suggest that my brother may have been unfairly cast as the author of his own misfortune, rather than a victim of circumstances. I am sending this note to you to ask if The Morning Star would publish this comment, perhaps in "Letters to the editor"; as a comment which I believe to be fair and possibly helpful to friends and family who are struggling to come to terms with this devastating accident. Your assistance to publish these comments would be greatly appreciated. Bruce imrie, inspector (rtd), rcMp

rail trail I am strongly in favour of using our tax dollars to purchase the old CN line between Vernon and Kelowna to preserve it as a trail corridor. Every single person I have spoken to on this topic is also in favour. I have yet to hear one person say that it should be left for private development, which is the alternative to our government purchasing it. This is a one-time opportunity that we can't let slip by. While I was encouraged to read the positive comments by our federal and provincial representatives, I also found some comments dismaying. These include: Colin Mayes: "It would be unwise for the federal government to do this on its own because it would set a precedent." In fact, this is exactly the sort of precedent we need, to ensure our communities stay vibrant, livable and free of rampant development. The public actually wants this precedent: it would be unwise to let this opportunity lapse by quibbling over precedents. Colin Mayes: "There is work being

without the grasses brushing one's shoulders. That is why dogs have gravitated closer to the playing fields. Whose fault is that? There are many acres of property the city owns at this site that have been left undeveloped. A fence running east west just north of the old golf club house to the creek, then mowing larger areas of grass would give the dog owners a degree of parity with those using the playing fields while giving those same players the safety they need. It should also be noted that the playing fields are used a limited number of hours per day for approximately six months of the year. The dog owners I encounter at Marshall Field walk their dogs throughout the day 12 months of the year. It should also be noted that individual ball diamonds are enclosed by fences. Could dog owners be given the same consideration? If the figures in your article are to be believed, there should be enough revenue generated from the hoards of nasty dog owners to pay for increased enforcement patrols and the small improvements noted above. Why should dogs and their owners be restricted as proposed by the leash policy when the property is there and has not been developed? Dog owners, like those using the playing fields, paid the same taxes for the original purchase of the land, development and maintenance as those using the playing fields. t. Wilson
done to get (the 30-day deadline) extended so we can get everyone together and consider alternatives." We do not need to consider alternatives. The alternative is that this opportunity will be lost forever, and the rail will fall into the hands of private developers. This is not what the public wants. "We've had some preliminary discussions at all levels: First Nations, federal, provincial and municipal." Great! But preliminary discussions are not enough. We need commitment, and we need it soon. I call on all levels of government to make a dedicated effort to committing sufficient funds to purchase the railway for public use. As public representatives, our MPs, MLAs and mayors can create a lasting legacy by acting now to preserve the rail line for public use. I also encourage every interested citizen to sign your support for this initiative at http://okanaganrailtrail. ca/. Please also write letters of support to your federal, provincial and municipal representatives. Ward strong

Neil E. Dee is hammered by contortionist Matt Alaeddine at the Danger Thrill Show. The travelling sideshow arrives at The Hub Arts Collective in Vernon, Friday.
Sideshow features daring feats Morning Star Staff
Don’t try these at home, kids. Fans of shows such as the Jim Rose Circus and heart pulsing daredevil sideshow acts can catch B.C.’s only travelling sideshow when host and performer Neil E. Dee and his entourage arrive in Vernon Friday. With a bizarre and talented cast, this season’s lineup for Dee’s Danger Thrill Show features “Fatt Matt” Alaeddine, billed as the “World’s Fattest Contortionist” and international burlesque sensation Melody Mangler. “The Danger Thrill Show crew push their bodies to the limit for your entertainment,” said Dee, who is known for lay-
ing his bare flesh on the blades of two sharpened machetes while having a concrete block broken across his chest. Meanwhile, Alaedinne shows his agility as he flexes all 450 pounds of himself out of a straight jacket and through other contortions. Mangler’s act includes the ladder of swords and the bed of nails. “She’s no stranger to sexy danger,” said Dee. “These real and dangerous acts are performed by some of the best in the business.” Other stunts include fire eating/breathing, bed of nails (with a head stand on only four spikes), the human dartboard,
real sword swallowing including an upside down hanging sword swallow, strongman feats, human blockhead, where a giant spike is hammered into the centre of the head, and more. It’s not for the faint of heart. Those willing to take the risk can catch the Danger Thrill Show Friday at The Hub Arts Collective, located on 30th Avenue, downtown Vernon next to the Towne Theatre. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15, available in advance at the Ticket Seller box office in the Performing Arts Centre, by phone at 250-5497469, or online at www.ticketseller.ca.
Vancouver’s art-pop, torch-folk songstress, Hilary Grist is the next artist to visit Armstrong’s Memorial Park when she performs at the Valley First Music in the Park, Friday. Grist is said to “embrace the rich details of the heart and paint sparkling vignettes with her poignant musical and visual creations, which have captured imaginations across the globe,” according to a press release from the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce, which hosts Music in the Park. Born in Quesnel and bred in Maple Ridge, Grist began composing music at the piano in pre-school. She would go on to take piano lessons and sing with the high school choir, which propelled her to Vancouver, where she studied jazz at Capilano University while deepening her pool of musical influences and honing her songwriting skills. Grist’s signature brand of firefly folk is said to be dipped in dreamy, jazzy art pop, which envelopes her dulcet, often delicate vocal delivery. The result is a blend of styles that borrows from acts such as Feist, Norah Jones, and Neko Case without being derivative of any single one. Touring with Grist is Dominique Fricot, who is from Salmon Arm. Fricot has journeyed to numerous festivals such as the Squamish Valley Music Festival, Winterruption, and Canadian Music Week and is said to own the stage with his rich baritone and his deft fusion of rock, soul, folk and jazz. His songs run the gamut from breezy, Jack Johnsonesque pop to haunting piano ballads that wouldn’t sound out of place on a Coldplay album, and perfectly encapsulate the highs and lows of falling in

Relax, enjoy the fresh air and time with family and friends. The concert starts Friday at 7 p.m.
Enjoy a Grape and a Northern Pike amongst the cherries Submitted to The Morning Star
From the mid-‘80s to the early-‘90s, The Grapes Of Wrath and The Northern Pikes produced some of the catchiest and most heart-felt singles and videos to come out of Canada. Although the bands shared similar values musically, they only performed on the same bill once during their heydays. Fast forward some 20 years later and the guitarists from each of these bands find themselves living just blocks away from one another in Toronto. This realization led to the two of them getting together to hang out with a couple of guitars for some casual jams, and the conclusion: “This sounds good. Let’s do some shows!” The Grapes’ Kevin Kane and Northern Pikes’ Bryan Potvin are teaming once again to perform their solo material and favourites from both bands –individually and as a duo– Sunday at Gatzke
Orchards in Oyama. “We are very excited to have these two great Canadian songwriters and singers to the Big Blue Stage this summer,” said Joseph Pinheiro, event manager at Gatzke’s. “I’ve known Bryan since our PolyGram days together and to have him on stage teamed up with another great Canadian talent like Kevin, I just know the Okanagan is in for a rare treat.” As well as performing old favourites from their respective back catalogues, Potvin will also be drawing heavily from his just-released debut solo album, Heartbledwhite, while Kane will be performing several of the songs from last year’s Grapes’ comeback, High Road, and may slip in a song or two from his next solo project. Tickets for Sunday’s concert are $20 each, available at www.gatzkeorchard.com. Doors open 5:30 p.m.

On Friday and Saturday, Armstrong’s Hassen Arena once again plays host to the infamous music festival, Armstrong Metalfest. Started in 2009, the festival originally welcomed 300 people onto a farm outside of Armstrong with the goal of promoting local music. The first concert saw 11 bands performing on flat-deck trailers, and advertising was done simply by word of mouth. In only six years, Armstrong Metalfest has become the largest and longest running metal festival in Western Canada. The festival has long since left the farm and has found a home at Armstrong’s Hassen Memorial Arena for the music, with other activities at the Interior Provincial Exhibition (IPE) grounds. Equipped with warm showers and RV camping, the grounds have become a temporary home for hordes of metal heads every July. Previous years have seen constantly growing attendance, with each year drawing more and more music enthusiasts into Armstrong.

Get ready for Western Canada’s largest heavy metal festival in Armstrong Submitted to The Morning Star
Despite stereotypes associated with heavy metal, the festival has been praised by locals and the RCMP for the good behaviour and friendliness of attendees, say festival organizers. Even though Armstrong Metalfest has welcomed bands from all over the world, the festival has continued with its goal of gaining exposure for local musicians. Thirty-six bands are confirmed this year, with local talents such as Xul and Putrid Brew, both of Vernon, and Armstrong’s Odinfist performing alongside headliners such as Montreal death metal giants Cryptopsy, Vancouver’s heavy riffers Anciients and thrash metal act Nylithia, also from Vancouver. Festival goers can take a break from head banging by enjoying the festival’s many other attractions, including thrash wrestling, a beer garden and a beer helmet march at the IPE grounds. A cooling station and farmer’s market (Saturday morning only), as well as food and merchandise booths, will also be open. Attendees will also be able to experience the beauty of Armstrong and its hospitable businesses. Two-day passes for Armstrong Metalfest are $100 and can be purchased locally at the Rock and Smoke Shop on 30th Avenue in Vernon. Day passes ($60) can be purchased at the gate. More information is available at www.ArmstrongMetalFest.ca.

Living every moment
lose your eyes, reach into the future and imagine you are at a funeral. Now realize the funeral is yours. Walk down the aisle and examine the faces of friends and relatives as they remember your life. What do you see in those faces? Take a seat. Listen to the service and pay attention to what is being said. What important memories about you, the deceased, do people share now that you are gone? As you dr. April sanders watch and listen to your ceremony, do you feel comfort in what you see and hear or are you filled with sadness? If such an exercise gives you a sense of well being you are lucky. You have lived life fully, without regret. If the exercise brings up pain or guilt, relax. You are not dead yet
and there is still time to change your destiny. The sad truth is that everybody dies, but not everybody lives. The Dalai Lama said it best. When asked what surprised him the most about humanity, he answered “Man.” Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived. With such a statement in mind, what then, constitutes living fully? My definition is simple. It involves showing up and being an active participant in the only life you have. Psychologists call living fully self-actualization and I see shining examples of this in the everyday lives of those around me. Whether it is a 72-year-old widow starting a university
education, a blind kayaker running the rapids, a grandmother raising her grandchildren after her daughter’s death, an 80-year-old gentleman on the summit of Everest or children at play in the midst of third world squalor, they are individuals who inspire me simply because they have shown up and are engaged in the life they have been given. Mercifully, today is not my funeral and neither is it yours. It is instead a day to reflect upon an ordinary life lived, the only one we are given, and a second chance to choose whether today will be lived as a spectator or a participant. When today is done I will have no regrets if I choose a few conscious steps. I will spend time with my husband and tell him that I love him. I will connect with my children whose absence is sometimes an ache. I will give silent thanks for my great luck, health and family before I spend time outdoors and simply, live.
KELOWNA — Summer is in full swing and you might be looking for an awesome adventure for your kids. Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs Camp Arrowflight in Armstrong provides just this opportunity. It is a chance for your children to have fun while learning and growing through our weeklong overnight camp. Experience canoeing, rock climbing, BMXing, Mountain Boarding, Geo Cashing, swimming, crafting, campfire songs and skits, good old-fashioned outdoor games and much more. On the surface the camping experience is about fun and adventure but digging deeper suggests a chance to grow and develop skills and confidence for the
future. It’s a chance to meet new friends, experience new challenges while learning leadership and life skills. People raised with the camping experience will tell you summer camp isn’t only about recreation. More than anything camp teaches individuals about life and how to live it positively. Campers learn they are able to do things on their own, without their parents and learn about independence and responsibility. “They have to take responsibility for themselves, for their space, for their belongings, and their whole self-concept starts to improve,” says Kate Hamilton, camp director.
It’s not too late to give your kids this opportunity. Visit www.boysandgirlsclubs.ca to find out more about Camp Arrowflight. Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs is a non-profit organization providing programs that support the healthy physical, educational and social development of more than 7,000 children, youth and their families each year. Boys and Girls Clubs offer opportunities, before and after school and at other critical times when children are not in school. Boys and Girls Clubs have been helping young people to discover, develop and achieve their potential for more than 54 years in the Okanagan.

Several events that tend to occur at midlife — children leaving or returning home, divorce, family and health crises, and professional or financial setbacks — may also contribute to stress. Responding to stress in unhealthy ways — through emotional eating, smoking, substance abuse, or ignoring depression that limits activity — often triggers weight gain. Weight gain after menopause can increase the chances of developing heart disease, type 2 diabetes or certain cancers. Maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle is not impossible. Consider these strategies: Eat in moderation. Follow the Food Exchange System, which is one of the methods taught by TOPS. Don’t fall into the unconscious, unhealthy habits of mindless eating or “stuff ” your emotions with food. Move more. Daily activity is even more important as we grow older. “Take a walk, ride a bike or play hide-and-seek with little ones.” Stay involved. Age is just a number. Take a class, volunteer in the community or help out a neighbour. Join a local TOPS chapter and offer support to fellow members. Keeping busy also helps build the momentum needed to stay physically active. Seek assistance. Healthcare providers are excellent resources. Physicians and other professionals can lend an ear and help with what’s troubling you. “Remember that your choices have a greater impact on your weight than your age or hormones do,” said Yphantides. “While there is no such thing as a fountain of youth, you can cultivate healthy behaviors and a youthful spirit that will allow you to get the most out of life.” Men also experience hormone shifts, but not as rapidly or to the same degree as women do, said Yphantides. Adult men experience a slow and gradual loss of testosterone that begins in their 30s. Long-term effects may include lower energy and changes in mood and sexual function. The key for men — as for women — is to maintain a healthy weight, lifestyle and perspective and to stay alert to the signals their bodies send. For more information on local TOPS chapters, visit www.tops.org.

Editor’s note: The following is from TOPS Club, Inc., the non-profit weight-loss support organization. Many women can feel that it’s harder to lose or maintain weight as they get older. For women, midlife hormonal changes can impact weight. “The most significant weight gain in a woman’s life tends to happen during the years leading up to menopause — the stage called perimenopause,” said Dr. Nicholas Yphantides, medical editor for TOPS Club, Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly). Thankfully, though, weight gain during this time is not inevitable. By adopting healthier eating habits and leading a more active lifestyle, women can maintain their weight — or even lose weight, if that’s appropriate. Hormone levels can shift significantly during perimenopause and menopause. A few of the affected hormones are: Estrogen — During menopause, levels of estrogen produced by the ovaries decrease. (Fat tissue also produces estrogen; some experts theorize that weight gain may result from the body’s attempt to replace the estrogen production lost by the ovaries with estrogen produced from fat tissue.) Progesterone — Lower progesterone levels can cause insomnia and greater fatigue, which make it difficult to maintain a regular exercise routine. Testosterone — This hormone helps produce lean muscle mass. During menopause, testosterone levels drop. The resulting loss of muscle slows down the body’s metabolism, making it difficult to burn fuel (calories) efficiently. Androgen — When a woman reaches menopause, her body produces more androgen relative to the other decreasing hormones. These higher levels can result in noticeable increases in abdominal fat. Apart from the hormonal influence, muscle mass diminishes with age. Without working on strength training, the body’s composition will shift to include more fat and less muscle. Body fat slows down the metabolic rate at which you burn calories, which can mean added pounds over time. Genetic factors may play a role, too. “If your parents or other close relatives carry or carried extra weight around the abdomen, you’re likely to do the same,” said Yphantides.

Lauren Meads, manager of South Okanagan Rehabilitation Centre for OWLS (SORCO) in Oliver describes how large owls eyes are and how tiny their brains are at a recent presentation at the Greater Vernon Museum & Archives, with Great Horned Owl Houdini, SORCO’s ambassador. Meads spoke at two sold-out shows at the museum. “Houdini mesmerized the crowd, and Lauren joked that all she needs to do now is teach Houdini how to drive himself around to do presentations on his own, as he always steals the show,” said Denise Marsh, marketing and communications coordinator at the museum.

Traffic was halted, and re-routed, on 25th Avenue near Fulton Road Friday evening after a 30-foot Doral boat fell off the trailer it was being towed on. The RCMP investigation revealed the boat was twice the allowable legal weight for the uninsured trailer and it shifted, causing the truck towing the trailer to jackknife. The incident caused approximately $20,000 in damage to the trailer, boat and truck. The 53-year-old driver of the truck, an Armstrong man, was charged under the Motor Vehicle Act for having no insurance and an unsecured load.
West Nile warning Morning Star Staff
As temperatures rise, so does the risk of West Nile virus. The mosquito species most likely to carry the virus is more active and more likely to spread the virus towards the end of July and into August. West Nile virus is a disease that is spread from infected corvid birds (crows, ravens, magpies, and jays) to humans through mosquito bites. Since 2009, there have been four cases acquired in B.C. – all in the Okanagan. Though 80 per cent of people infected with West Nile virus will not get sick, about 20 per cent of people will have mild to moderate illness that starts three to 14 days after being infected. Symptoms of West Nile virus may include fever, headache, body aches, fatigue, swollen lymph glands, and sometimes a rash on the body. These symptoms generally last about one week, but they can last much longer. Less than one per cent of people infected with the West Nile virus can experience more serious illnesses and in very rare cases West Nile virus can result in death. “We’d like to remind people to continue to take steps both here at home and when travelling to avoid mosquito bites,” said Dr. Lizette Elumir, resident public health physician with the Interior Health Authority.
14-073.18_Generic_10.3125x2-P1.indd 1
“While the risk of becoming seriously ill from West Nile virus infection is low for many, it can be higher for the elderly and those with compromised immune systems..” Elumir offers the following tips: n Avoid outdoor activities at dusk and dawn. This is the time of day the mosquitoes that can carry West Nile virus are most active. n Wear protective clothing. If you are in an area with lots of mosquitoes, wear loose fitting, light coloured, fulllength pants and a long-sleeved shirt. n Use mosquito repellent. Apply mosquito repellent to exposed skin. Check the product label for instructions on proper use. Repellents containing DEET are safe for those over six months of age when used according to the directions on the label. DEET-free products are available, but may not provide long-lasting protection. n Prevent mosquito breeding around your home. Anything that holds water can be a mosquito breeding area. Identify and remove potential breeding areas on your property – empty saucers under flowerpots; change water in bird baths twice a week; unclog rain gutters; drain tarps, tires, and other debris where water may collect; and install a pump in ornamental ponds or stock them with fish.

Okanagan Regional Library goes to market richard rolke Morning Star Staff
“They can sign out books right there.”
Besides cherries, lettuce and other produce, visitors to the Vernon Farmers Market can harvest a love of reading. Staff from Okanagan Regional Library will establish a mini-library at the market at Kal Tire Place on Thursday and Aug. 21. “It’s a place where people gather and it will be a ton of fun,” said Tara Thompson, ORL head librarian. A selection of food-related books will be available. “We will be able to register people for library cards if they don’t have one and they can sign out books right
— Tara Thompson
there,” said Thompson. There will also be eReaders available to try and children’s story time will take place in the shade at 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. The concept of going to the farmers market arose after
ORL staff provided some services at the recent Repair Cafe and it met with strong success. The goal is to increase awareness about library services, particularly among those residents who have never walked into the branch before. “It’s great to tap into people who may not realize what libraries have to offer,” said Thompson. The outreach program to the farmers market is also a realization that life is very busy for many residents. “People are in tons of places so it’s great to have the library where they are,” said Thompson. For more information, go to www.orl.bc.ca.

B.C. Fresh Salmon
Prized BC wild sockeye salmon is plentiful and now is the best time to buy, when it is at it’s freshest. The pristine depths of the North Pacific and the cold water produce great tasting and healthy Omega3-laden fish. How do you know when your salmon is fresh? Push your finger into the flesh - if it springs back relatively quicky, then you have a fresh wild salmon. At Askew’s, we source only the freshest ocean-caught sockeye. Sockeye is one of the firmest salmon, and can often be overcooked. It is best when cooked simply, barbecued or over an open fire, either left whole, fileted, or cut into steaks.

s r a e Y g n i t a r b Cele 40 Congratulations Colleen Garrett! Winner for June of our Anniversary Date Night contest with her submission “Our Honeymoon Night” The Best Western has helped my family to share many celebrations with lasting memories to this day- throughout my childhood into adulthood the hotel has been a convenient location with top notch service, delicious food and next to none for beautiful and vibrant atmosphere. First would be the birthdays and anniversaries that I remember sharing with family during my childhood; the food was always amazing and the atrium was always my favorite for it’s tropical feeling. Next would have to be the year 2000 marking my high school graduation that went out with a bang thanks to a reception and dance that the Best Western hosted at its best. They made it magical and completely convenient being close to the grad ceremony. Lastly would have to be the most precious of nights - August 27, 2005 - when I married the love of my life Josh and we got to enjoy our first night as husband and wife in a wonderful suite. Despite a small mix up during prior reservations, all the staff still remained completely hospitable and gave us the fastest service providing us with the means to relax from a full day of excitement, emotion and everything newlyweds could imagine bundled into one day. Thank you Vernon Lodge for giving us a beautiful sleep on the most important day of our lives....

Tigers overcome gritty Shamrocks effort TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
Down to eight men, having lost the first two games by a combined 23 goals and facing elimination, the Armstrong Shamrocks could have mailed it in for Game 3 of their best-of-five Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League semifinal. Instead, the Shamrocks gutted out Saturday’s match with arch-rival Vernon Source For Sports Tigers, falling 7-5 at Kal Tire Place. The win advances the Tigers to the league final against the Kamloops Venom. “It feels good. It’s been a long season and a good process. We are really looking forward to the series with Kamloops and then provincials,” said Tigers’ coach Keith Hanna. Ryan Sarazin continued his hot playoffs with a hat trick for the Tigers. Bayne Bosquet has scored a goal in each game, and Darrell Landels, Brett Hanna and Braden Barr also added singles. The Shamrocks battled injuries all season but put up a strong fight against Vernon in the playoffs. “I would like to wish the Vernon Tigers good luck in provincials. They are a very strong team and they play hard,” said Shamrocks’ head coach Brett Logan. Pat Nelson was behind the bench for the Rocks and had a front row seat to watch his son Cam score four goals. Josh Point chipped in with a single. “We played with a ton of heart

That’s all I can ask from those guys,” said Pat Nelson. “I would say we finished the season on a high note, battling to the end like that.” Game 1 of the final is slated for 7:30 p.m. Saturday night at Memorial Arena in Kamloops. Vernon hosts Game 2 Monday at 7:30 p.m. at Kal Tire Place.
Both teams are through to provincials. Vernon is hosting the tournament on the August long weekend, and Kamloops will represent the Okanagan division. “We didn’t throw a huge celebration. We went to Boston Pizza after the game like we normally do. We know there is hard work ahead,” said Hanna.
The Tigers finished two points behind the Venom in the regular season and were the only team to beat them. The Tigers went 2-1-1 against the Venom this season. It is the classic offence versus defence scenario. The Tigers allowed a league-low 85 goals and were led by their goaltender Aaron Jensen, who carried a .883 save
percentage and a 4.525 goals against average this season. “They got great goal scoring, but I think our goaltending and defence is better,” said Hanna. The Venom trio of Brady Jorgensen, Riley Peterson and Kyle Pauwels put the league on blast notice this year. Jorgensen scored an unfathomable 66 goals and 103 points. Peterson was no slouch either, with 26 goals and 73 points and Pauwels sniped 32 goals and 64 points. “We gotta make sure our match ups are correct against them. It is going to be hard to shut them down,” said Hanna. “They’re going to score, we just can’t let them get five or six goals.” Curtis Forrest won a mini fridge in a raffle during the game. The fridge was donated by Home Depot with the designs by Graphics Enterprises. Former Junior Shamrock Brett Hawrys and the Coquitlam Adanacs have a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five B.C. Junior Lacrosse League semifinal with the Victoria Shamrocks. Hawrys had four assists in Saturday’s series opening 13-5 win at home, then picked up a helper Sunday in Game 2 in Victoria, an 11-5 Adanacs’ win. Hawrys’ former teammate in Armstrong and Nanaimo, Owen Barker, finished with seven goals and 23 points for the Timbermen, who missed the playoffs at 8-12-1. Barker led the team in penalty minutes with 112.
Irish, Raiders ready to rock senior league final TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
Two teams who barely tolerate each other on the floor will duke it out for the championship. The Armstrong Shamrocks battle the Kelowna Raiders in the
Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League best-ofthree final, which began Tuesday night at Memorial Arena. Game 2 is slated for 7:30 p.m. at the Nor-Val Sports Centre Friday night.
“It is going to be a good match-up, it’s a rivalry that has been brewing for the past two years. We are two teams that don’t like each other,” said Shamrocks’ goaltender Chad Pieper. Armstrong finished 6-4,
two games behind first-place Kelowna (8-2). The Rocks went 1-4 with the Raiders this year. “I’m looking forward to the start tonight and hopefully finishing at home on Friday,” said Shamrocks’ runner Pat Nelson on Tuesday.
Game 1 and 3, if necessary, go in the boilermaker that is Memorial Arena, which can have temperatures in the high 30s for game time. “Hopefully we can get this done in two games and win this in front of our fans Friday night. I have a feel-
ing it might go three games though,” said Pieper. “They got a couple good guys on offence in Luke (Bailey) and Pho (Heng). We are going to try and shut them down and make their other players try and step up.”

Howard then scored on an 18-yard corker with 10 minutes left in the match to secure the three points for the Camels, who began the game with 10 men. Brad Hansen was summoned off his counch and he made it 11 men 15 minutes into the match. Spring keeper Ron Krause made a big stop on an errant pass

First baseman Ryan Gamage stretched to make the tournament’s final out, according to team officials, “like mama does at yoga class.” With the ball firmly in Gamage’s glove, a Port Coquitlam rally was snuffed out for good and gave the Vernon Kal Tire Canadians a 9-7 win in the final of the Valley of the Champions Pee Wee AA baseball tournament Sunday in Kelowna. “The kids went 3-1 in the round robin, then won their last two games in scorching Okanagan sun Sunday,” said coach Nick Foufoulas. “It was a total team effort with all of the players contributing to a great weekend.” Starting pitcher and game MVP Christopher McIntosh kept the final close into the third inning, giving way to reliever Braydon Beacom. The critical inning defensively was the fifth. With the bases loaded and no outs, Beacom dug deep, striking out one, tagging another trying to steal home and assisting a tag out at second base. Chase Batchelor pitched the final two innings. The C’s opened the tournament Friday with an 8-7 win over Kelowna. Batchelor pitched into the fifth, striking out six and allowing two runs. He also was at the plate and drew a walk-off walk with the bases loaded to bring in the winning run.

If his side belongs in three no-trump, probably South should be the declarer. And
here, when South jumps to four spades, he ought to have at least a five-card suit so that he can guarantee an eight-card fit. South has nine top tricks: five spades, one heart and three diamonds. He needs to establish a fourth diamond trick. This will be easy if diamonds are breaking 3-3, but if they are 4-2, declarer will have to ruff a diamond in his hand, draw trumps and be in the dummy to cash the last two diamonds. The key question is: How are the trumps dividing? South cashes his spade queen, then plays a spade to dummy’s king. If they split 4-1, declarer will have to draw trumps and hope that the diamonds divide
3-3. Here, though, he next plays a diamond to his ace, returns a diamond to dummy’s queen, ruffs a diamond high in his hand, leads a spade to dummy’s ace (drawing West’s last trump), and cashes the diamond king and six for his contract.

AŌer graduaƟng from nursing school at the OƩawa Civic Hospital in 1943, with a trademark spunk and love of life’s adventures, she accepted a post at the remote mining town of Favourable Lake, in Northern Ontario. Here she honed her calling and met her future husband, Spike. He whizzed in on his hockey skates to sweep her oī her feet and the two were married in 1946. AŌer bearing three children, Lynn (Charles) Farrer, Nan (Ross) Kendy and Jeī (Bev) Kendy, the family eventually seƩled in the warmer Okanagan climate. She Įnished her dedicated career as a nurse at Vernon Jubilee and Williams Lake hospitals. Christabel was a loving, generous mother who passed on her spirit and humour to her kids and her grandkids Karie (Charlie), Emily, Todd (Pavla) and Cole. Her memory will be cherished by surviving family, including her younger brother Harry (Joan), and her large extended family who will always remember Christabel’s vibrant energy, sparkling blue eyes and near-magical ŇoaƟng abiliƟes in Okanagan Lake, at her family home in Vernon, BC.

Owners urged to keep dogs out of hot vehicles Morning Star Staff
Despite ongoing warnings and public service announcements about the dangers of
leaving pets in hot cars, B.C. SPCA constables are being inundated with calls this summer to rescue pets left in parked
vehicles. In June alone, the B.C. SPCA responded to 228 calls to rescue dogs in distress who had been
left in hot cars by their guardians across the province. “The media is wonderful about helping us
get the message out that it can be fatal to leave your pet in a hot car, even for 10 minutes, but still we receive hundreds
of calls about animals in distress,” said Lorie Chortyk, community relations general manager.

“We can’t stress strongly enough how dangerous this is for your pet.” With temperatures soaring across B.C. this week, the SPCA is urging people to leave their pets at home if they can’t keep them safe. “The temperature in a parked car, even in the shade with windows partly open, can rapidly reach a level that will seriously harm or even kill a pet,” said Chortyk. “In just minutes, the temperature in a parked car can climb to well over 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit). Dogs have no sweat glands, so they can only cool themselves by panting and by releasing heat through their paws.” Dogs can withstand high temperatures for only a very short time – in some cases just minutes - before suffering irreparable brain damage or death. Pet guardians should be alert to heatstroke symptoms, which include: exaggerated panting (or the sudden stopping of panting), rapid or erratic pulse, salivation, anxious or staring expression, weakness and muscle tremors, lack of co-ordination, convulsions or vomiting, and collapse. If your dog shows symptoms of heatstroke, you should do the following: n Immediately move the animal to a cool, shady place n Wet the dog with cool water n Fan vigorously to promote evaporation. This will cool the blood, which reduces the animal’s core temperature. n Do not apply ice. This constricts blood flow, which will inhibit cooling. n Allow the dog to drink some cool water (or to lick ice cream if no water is available) n Take the dog to a veterinarian as soon as possible for further treatment. “If you’re used to letting your dog accompany you on errands, you might feel guilty leaving him behind on hot summer days. But your dog will be much happier – and safer – at home, with shade and plenty of fresh cool water,” said Chortyk.

Q: A:
I am planning on selling my home; what are some things I could do to help it sell easier?
Number One: don’t try and hide things. If you have a rotten board on your deck, don’t paint over it - replace it. If buyers see little things covered up, they will wonder what big thing got covered up. Number two: clean up your house, get rid of the clutter. If everything is neat and tidy it reflects on how buyers feel about your home. Number three: be current on servicing all your appliances such as your furnace and fireplaces. If some are near the end of their expected lifespan, replace them even if they may be big ticket items. Number four: replace burned out bulbs, tighten all loose hinges on kitchen and bathroom cabinets. If interior doors are binding or don’t latch, make the required adjustments. If there are any repairs that you have been putting off or just “making do” now is the time to fix it. Ask yourself what would put you off of buying a home, and then make sure your home does not have these deficiencies. Lastly, if you are still unsure, then hire a good home inspector to do a “pre-listing” inspection on your home. You can then fix what you choose and have the report available for potential buyers to view and know what condition your home is in.

Divorce is granted in Canada for one reason. Marriage breakdown. Marriage breakdown is based on one of the following 3 “grounds.” There are just three grounds for marriage breakdown: Cruelty or Adultery, or Separation for one year. Any one of them is sufficient for divorce. You do not need to have more than one ground. Separation for one year: You have lived “separate and apart” for a year having decided the marriage is over. Living “separate and apart” does not necessarily mean living in separate homes. You can live separate and apart while sharing a home. It is also possible to claim that although you only recently moved out and live in a different home, the marriage broke down and was essentially over at some time in the past, regardless of living arrangements You do not need a separation agreement to prove separation.

What is a Ming Gua…? Your Ming Gua is a guardian spirit that is given to you at birth to help guide you through your life. Technically we speak of it as a number between 1 & 9, and these numbers relate to the 5 elements of wood, fire, earth, metal & water. You are so much more than a number though aren’t you…? Absolutely! However this number is very important to me, as it will clearly show me how others affect you, how you affect them and most importantly, how your home affects you. If your Ming Gua is supported in your home, you are likely to be healthy, happy & excel in all you do. However, turn the tables, and affect this Ming Gua negatively… and your life will feel it big time… Your Ming Gua is like the most up-to-date GPS system you could ever buy and it is under full warranty - brilliant! Listen to that inner voice that speaks to you from within, as it is your GPS saying… turn left in 50 meters… so grab that steering wheel with both hands!

Q: A:
How common is deafness? What causes it? Does it affect one gender more than another?
Deafness and/or hearing impairment affects about 1 in every 10 people in North America. Deafness and hearing impairment has many causes including, noise, aging, head trauma, drugs, ear infections, genetics, tumors and other medical problems. More men seem to have hearing problems at this time because of working around noise, but this is changing as more women now work in noisy environments. It is important that you have a hearing test if you think your hearing is impaired for any of these reasons.

Q: A:
What is self-sabotage? As Debbie Ford notes, selfsabotage comes in many forms. We may practice one, two, or all of these examples of self-sabotage:
• Distractions that pull us away from our dreams • Comparing ourselves to others and coming up short • Listening to our inner critic – that inner voice that never seems to stop telling us all the things we are doing wrong and all the ways ‘we are wrong’ • Beating ourselves up for not being perfect • Listening and honouring all the should’s in our life, e.g. should think of others first, should work and not play, should say yes when someone wants us to do something • Not standing up for yourself when others treat you disrespectfully Any of these resonate with you?

Q: A:
We want to sell our home, what would you recommend we do next?
1) The first thing you should do is to be preapproved for a new mortgage if you are buying another home to make sure that your plan will meet your financial situation. 2) Find out what the balance of your mortgage currently is, and make sure to ask the penalty amount. Is your mortgage portable to a new home? Many Lenders no longer offer portability to a new home or the ability to increase your mortgage and using a ‘blend’ of your current interest rate. 3) Find out how your penalty is being calculated and if lower interest rates will have an effect on the penalty to break the mortgage. With the lower mortgage rates many are surprised to see their penalty has increased substantially from what they thought the amount would be 4) Consult a Realtor to see what the market value of your home and what the costs associated to selling your home will be. This is a good time to revisit your preapproval, as you now have the financial numbers to make the decision to sell your home. 5) Once the home is listed for sale and an offer is presented, do not forget to revisit step 2, the penalty can change from the time you first decided to sell your home if your Lender uses a formula to have you pay for any lost interest based upon their posted rate of interest.

The dangers of dehydration More than 70 percent of the human body is made up of water. When you take in less water than your body actually needs, you run the risk of dehydration. Diarrhea, vomiting, and sweating are all common ways to lose excess water. Symptoms of mild dehydration include thirst, loss of appetite, dry skin, skin flushing, dark-coloured urine, dry mouth, fatigue or weakness, chills and head rushes. Most dehydration is relatively mild and is treated by replacing fluids in the body. Usually slowly drinking small sips of plain water works. However, if water and electrolyte losses have occurred, there are a number of flavoured commercial drinks that have been formulated to replace electrolytes, such as sports drinks like Gatorade and pediatric formulas like Pedialite. If dehydration reaches the point of shock, contact emergency services immediately. Speak to your Remedy’sRx pharmacist about avoiding dehydration.
