Camp Arrowflight keeps kids active W JENNIFER SMITH

Arielle Vance, 10, of Vernon, lines up her shot with a compound bow at Camp Arrowflight, while Ezrah McKinney, 11, of Kelowna, gets some air on a jump at the BMX track at the Spallumcheen site. a key aspect at camp, along with team building, respect for the environment and just allowing kids to be kids. “This is where kids with issues thrive because they’re outside moving all the time,” said Kate Hamilton, the new program director (aka Roots). “So a lot of the kids we expect to be difficult are not.” While one child may rebel at school or is overly shy, they are generally some of the best campers. While some parents may be reluctant to send their kids to overnight camp, thinking they’re just not ready, that’s generally not the case. “It’s not even usually the kids, it’s the parents,” said Hamilton. While Boys and Girls Club members make up the majority of
the campers, anyone and everyone between the ages of seven and 17 are welcome. There are Sunday to Friday camps for various ages, including leadership and junior counsellor camps. But for those new to or nervous about camp life, day trips and twoday/one-night stays are also available. “It gives the kids a chance to get comfortable here and want to come back and stay,” said Hamilton. The last day of camp this season is Aug. 29. Registration forms are available at each of the 33 Boys and Girls Clubs in the Okanagan, including in Vernon and Armstrong, or at www.boysandgirlsclubs.ca/camp. php

hile technology may appear to be taking over elsewhere, with kids glued to cell phones, tablets, social media and games, that is far from the case at Camp Arrowflight. Nestled under the shade of giant Ponderosa Pines, kids have endless opportunities to play amongst the more than 80 acres of Spallumcheen land (42 of which is developed). Rock climbing, archery, a pool, BMX track, endless hiking trails, canoeing and mountain boarding to name a few. While these may be the more official activities, it’s the ones built into camp culture that kids love the most. “I have to say, Camp Arrowflight is awesome,” said 12-year-old Evan Daigle of West Kelowna, enjoying his first week full of adventure. By mid-week, Daigle’s memory bank was already overloaded with camp fun from his Sunday to Friday stay. There’s all the friends he’s made, the night they got to camp out under the stars, camp dog Saul (the director’s Boston terrier which all the kids love), the new activities and games he got to try and even the shenanigans. “All of the leaders hid with a bucket of water balloons and after we were done singing O Canada they started throwing them at us and even some of the kids got to throw some, the ones that didn’t break,” beamed Daigle. Like Daigle, Natalie Filion can’t say enough about Camp Arrowflight. In fact, the Irish Creek resident has been coming to camp for the past four years. “I’ve been here every year since it opened,” said Filion, who plans to do the leadership camp next year. “There’s so many memories.” Operated by the Boys and Girls Club, Camp Arrowflight is the former Circle Square Ranch.

Storm floods non-profit shop Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
A second downtown Vernon business has been forced to close its doors due to Wednesday’s storm. The Upper Room Mission Dollar Bin Thrift Store is closed likely until mid to late week after water started gushing through the ceiling tiles Wednesday. “It (drain pipes from the roof) wasn’t capable of handling all that water,” said Bobbe Mackenzie, who volunteers at the non-profit thrift shop. The chaos started Wednesday around 3 p.m., when the storm started rolling through town. Staff and strangers were quick to put tubs out to try and contain the water damage, and luckily, no merchandise was damaged. “We were so fast and God was so good to us,” said Mackenzie, as the main drenching came down between two racks of clothing. “And there were some really nice people who came in off the street and gave us a hand and they were young people.” Although the store will gain a new carpet through the ordeal, Mackenzie says it’s not the damage that is concerning, it’s the disruption to those who rely on the shop for clothing needs. “When we’re closed it’s hard on the people who really need it,” said Mackenzie, who turned away a dozen people in half-an-hour Friday, not to mention the lack of sales which support the Upper Room Mission. The closure also cut the Dollar Bin’s biggest sale of the month in half - dollar bag week. But Mackenzie assures that the sale will continue as soon as the store can re-open. “Hopefully next week.”
Ashton Creek school sold richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Ashton Creek’s former elementary school is now in private hands. The North Okanagan-Shuswap School District has sold the former Ashton Creek Elementary site to Ashton Creek Christian Fellowship. “They’ve been using it for 30 years for their services and no one else put in any other offers to purchase the property,” said Chris Coers, school trustee. The school was Chris Coers closed in 2012 because of low enrolment and Ashton Creek children now attend classes in Enderby. Coers says the school board welcomed a purchase agreement with Ashton Creek Christian Fellowship. “They have all kinds of programs that serve the community,” she said. The school playground has been dismantled and removed from the site. “It has been relocated to the Riverside Community Hall because it was fundraised for by parents and was a community project,” said Coers. The purchase price for the school was $210,000. “The money will help to fund other capital improvements,” said Sterling Olson, district secretary-treasurer. Among the projects the funding will go towards are a new school board office and improvements to Carlin Elementary and Len Wood Middle School. — with files from Chelsea Grainger, Black Press

The Ministry of Transportation wants a right-of-way through Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park for possible upgrades to Cosens Bay Road.
Official won’t enter debate richard rolke Morning Star Staff
An elected official refuses to take sides on contentious plans for Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. Bob Fleming, electoral area director for the park and the Cosens Bay cabin colony, is not prepared to make a decision yet on the Ministry of Transportation’s bid for a 30-metre wide rightof-way along the existing Cosens Bay Road in the park. “I’d like to see all of the information. There are arguments on both sides,” said Fleming. Fleming recently met with the ministry to discuss its proposal and was told the major concerns are no drainage ditches, a lack of pull-outs and blind corners. “I see the perspective of the ministry to try and reduce its (repair) costs with ditching,” said Fleming. “I was told there is no intention to pave the road or create a 30-metre-wide stretch and they will stay within the existing road and improve safety.” The Ministry of Transportation has applied to B.C. Parks to change the boundary of park to allow for the right-of-way and B.C. Parks will make the ultimate decision. Since the ministry’s plans became public, there has been considerable debate with some Cosens Bay property owners insisting there is a need to improve motorist safety on the road. Concern has come from the District of Coldstream and the Friends of Kalamalka Lake
Provincial Park Society. “Removal of this right of way would remove land from Kal park and the jurisdiction of B.C. Parks. It would essentially divide Kal Park into two sections,” said Val Buchanan, society president, in a release. “Removal of land from our parks is a step backwards. Residents want more parkland, not less.” Buchanan suggests upgrades could ultimately lead to a paved road, which would become an attractant for the endangered Pacific rattlesnake. “Road kill would become common and snake populations on either side of the road could become genetically isolated. Other wildlife could also be casualties,” she said. Buchanan also says an upgraded road could lead to increased traffic, illegal dumping, partying in the park and off-road driving. “The Friends of Kal Park understands the need for improved safety on Cosens Bay Road for those in vehicles and those not,” she said. “We would support actions taken for this purpose but only to the limited extent actually needed. We believe safety and maintenance improvements can be achieved by the ministry applying to B.C. Parks for a park use permit.” Buchanan says a park use permit would avoid land being removed from the park while allowing for some changes to the road. “We will be protecting Kal Park and we are definitely against any land being taken out of the park to widen the road and add hydro.”

The Herbal-Health Centre is blazing a path of education around cannabis. The THC dispensary is presenting a seminar on medical cannabis Tuesday at the Swan Lake meeting room at the Fairfield Inn and Suites (across from the Superstore) from 7 to 9 p.m. Guest speakers will include a naturopathic doctor on cannabis and cancer and Herbal-Health Centre manager Ben Hunt as well as member patient testimonials. “This is the first initiative to undertake a series of these seminars,” said Imre Kovacs, one of the Herbal-Health Centre owners.

“This is simply to educate and offer people the opportunity to talk to experts. We just feel there are huge barriers to access information on medical cannabis in general.” Everyone is welcome to attend the limited seating seminar, but one group the centre is trying to reach is seniors, as their demographic has more health issues. “Cannabis is applicable in a wide range of medical conditions, it’s not just for cancer,” said Kovacs. “That’s really the driving force behind us. “And just about everybody is connected to someone who is dealing with a hard to treat symptom.” Along with those struggling with med-
ical issues and interested to see if cannabis could help, the centre encourages caregivers and physicians to attend the seminar. “Part of our initiative is to get some health care practitioners involved,” said Kovacs, as they can be the barrier behind patients accessing medical cannabis. “People often approach their physician to get access to medical cannabis and some doctors have an open mind but the vast majority are still nervous about it,” said Kovacs, as there are liabilities. The Herbal-Health Centre is a members only, private facility with 800 members and growing. The centre celebrated its one-year anniversary July 20. For more information visit www.thhc.ca.

The B.C. Coroners Service has established new dates for a public inquest into the death of a Lumby man. Bradley Haslam, 18, died June 15, 2013 as a result of a workplace incident at the Tolko Industries mill in Lavington. The inquest will start Oct. 20 at 9:30 a.m. at the Vernon Courthouse. “Presiding coroner, T.E. Chico Newell, and a jury will hear evidence from witnesses under oath to determine the facts surrounding this death,” said Barbara McLintock, with the B.C. Coroners Service. “The jury will have the opportunity to make recommendations aimed at preventing deaths under similar circumstances.” The inquest was originally scheduled to begin March 31 but was delayed by the coroner so further information about the incident could be considered.

Petition targets plant Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Opposition is growing to Lavington’s proposed wood pellet plant. A petition against the plant, a joint venture between Tolko Industries and Pinnacle Renewable Energy, has gained upwards of 100 signatures. “We have been getting some great response,” said Stephanie Hoffman, a Lavington resident who is concerned about the contaminate discharge from the facility. Hoffman is hoping to present the petition to the District of Coldstream during its regular council meeting scheduled for Monday at 6 p.m. That is when a zoning bylaw to accommodate the plant could be given final approval. “There is also a ‘Lavington Pellet Plant discussion page’ started on Facebook by another community member,” said Hoffman. “People can access the link to change.org there as well as download the petition directly if they would like to get signatures from concerned residents in their area.” The Ministry of Transportation has already given its approval to the plant, which will double rail traffic
and increase truck traffic by four per day. But Ministry of Environment approval is still needed and Hoffman plans to send the petition to the ministry, as well as Premier
Christy Clark and Pinnacle. Those with concerns also have until Aug. 2 to get their written comments to the Environment Protection Officer, Authorizations

Under the Dumb
here is a TV series about an entire town trapped under a giant, mysterious crystalclear dome that appears out of the blue one day. The dome is impenetrable; no one can get in, no one can get out. Who made the dome? Aliens? God? A super-secret branch of the U.S. government? No one knows. It’s a mystery. No one under the dome can communicate with the outside world and vice versa, except by putting your hands against it and looking soulfully at people on the other side while your mouth flaps silently. No radio, no TV, no voice, no smart- or dumbphones. I suppose they could Jim Mullen write things on pieces of paper and show it to people on the outside and vice versa, or bring by some lip-readers or find people on both sides who know American sign language, but no one inside or outside the dome seems to know how to do anything but text, which is now useless. Besides, what would you say? “We’re trapped under a big dome and can’t get out”? Most people can figure that out without anyone telling them. Stephen King wrote this, and he has written some of the most creepy, chilling and terrifying books ever, so it’s a puzzlement how the only mysterious thing about this show is why anyone watches it. Even if you can get past the unappealing, stereotypical, cartoonish characters, life under the dome makes no sense. Where does their food come from? Where does their garbage go? Where does the gas for their cars come from? Why doesn’t their air run out? Why don’t they have smog? Why isn’t it as hot as a greenhouse in there? Why is the grass green with no rain? Why does no one under the dome have a sense of humor? Even in the darkest days of the Second World War , we had Bill Mauldin cartoons and Bob
VillAgE idiot
Hope. Rather than some kind of eerie, cosmic, sci-fi thriller, this is more like “The Young and the Restless” under glass with soap opera-ish plot lines. Pretty soon I expect to find out the bad guy is really the evil twin of the good guy who is tied up in a room somewhere, and that three husbands ago one of characters was abducted by aliens, but since she’s had amnesia for the last five years, she forgot all about it. One of the promotional spots for this show bragged that it’s perfect for summer viewing. What does that mean? That we wouldn’t watch this show if it were on in the winter? Do network executives think our brains go soft in the summer and then harden when the cold weather returns? Do people who live in the South have different TV brains than those in the North? “Would you even consider watching ‘Under the Dome’ in the winter?” “I think not, my good man, the only thing we watch in the winter is ‘Masterpiece Theater.’” But maybe the climate does change our brains. I’ve heard the most popular show in Norway is the “Yule Log.” But then, its only competition was “Norway’s Saddest Home Videos.” This could have been a wonderful show and a gigantic hit if King had changed one little thing: if the dome appeared over the Kardashians’ home while all the housewives from Orange County, Atlanta, New Jersey and everywhere else just happened to be visiting that day. And just by coincidence, the Bachelor and the Bachelorette, Gordon Ramsay, all the people who were ever on “Survivor” and “Big Brother” as well as a few of the most egotistical but completely untalented contestants from “American Idol.” Now that would be a show. And in this version, the food does run out, the garbage starts to smell, and maybe the air starts to get a little thin. Tune in next week to find out what happens when there’s nothing for the Kardashians to buy. Contact Jim Mullen at JimMullenBooks.com.
As temperatures return to their Okanagan normals, staying cool is important. However, the Canadian Safe Boating Council is reminding all boat owners that drinking and boating is illegal and unwise. According to CSBC, about 40 per cent of all boating-related fatalities are alcohol-related. The CSBC, along with law enforcement agencies across the country are using the August long weekend to remind all boaters, including sailboats, canoes and kayaks to raise awareness about boating and drinking with Operation Dry Water. In the second year of the campaign, Operation Dry Water aims to reduce the number of alcohol-related fatalities on Canadian waterways as well as provide a visible deterrent to drinking and boating. With several gorgeous lakes to choose from, Okanagan boaters and visitors have plenty of opportunities to cool off without having to resort to alcohol. According to the Criminal Code of Canada, a boater can be charged with impaired operation of a vessel if their blood alcohol concentration exceeds the 0.08 threshold while operating a vessel. A first offence can see the boater liable for a fine of $600. A second offence carries a 14-day prison sentence, and a third offence extends that to 90 days. With the number of vessels plying the waters of Okanagan lakes, especially during the tourist season, it is imperative that all vessel operators be alert to their surroundings. Be dry, be safe.

A tremendous achievement
ave you ever wondered why some children thrive, while others falter? So have others, even some smart people trained to collect scientific data. They provide that data to anyone who wants to analyze it, and they have the resources to add to that data over an extended period of time. In this case, for more than 50 years, The National Child Development Study follows the lives of 17,000 people born in Britain in a single week of 1958. The original study measured the social and obstetric factors associated with stillbirth and death in early infancy. Researchers went back to the same cohort when it turned seven and measured physical height, social abilities, and mental skills – readiness for school. They continued returning to the same group. When the same cohort was adults in their 30s, researchers measured and sorted for quality of health, economic success and social engagement. The data was provided to other researchers who studied which social factors in childhood could predict success in adulthood. What those studies found was that children who experienced quality preschool child care do better as adults. They teachers strike In terms of the B.C. teachers strike, if I understand the problem correctly, the government offered the teachers a signing bonus for the settlement and this was rejected. They choose to strike at year-end, upsetting the students and especially the grads. Poor timing. The teachers work or teach a fiveday week, have pro-D days off (nonteaching days), have two months off for summer vacation, have Easter and spring break off and Christmas holidays off. The question is: total days off per year, plus total hours taught per day? I started school in 1942 at a oneroom school at Mabel Lake. The class included Grades 1 to 8. Our teacher was a young man. Besides being responsible for the children's education, he also had to start the fire in a huge drum heater and keep it burning to hear the school. Our plumbing was an outdoor biffy. I don't recall any complaints. Everybody did their best under the circumstances. Our family moved back to Vernon after a year and my education continued. In 1948/49, the student population increased greatly, putting our school schedule on shift systems. The bus students started school
entered school healthier, better adapted socially, and mentally were ready to learn. They started school with an advantage and they kept it into adulthood. This wealth of data is used by educators, economists, and policy makers worldwide. In Canada, Dr. Fraser Mustard, University of Toronto and the Institute for Human Development, and Dr. Clyde Hertzman, University of B.C. and the Human Early Learning Partnership, influenced the development of the North Okanagan Child Care Society, which began operating a quality child care facility at Beairsto Elementary in 1994. This not-for-profit, parent-led society grew and adapted over the past 20 years, and in December 2013, it purchased West Vernon Elementary School. On June 25, parents, children, early childhood educators, staff and board members gathered to celebrate and to change its name to Maven Lane. What a tremendous achievement, a permanent location for a quality child care and early learning centre in Vernon. Congratulations to all who over the past 20 years worked to make it happen. nick hodge, president, okanagan-shuswap ndp
early and the city students started late, enabling our education to continue with double use of our high school. Again, there were no complaints. Everybody did their best to accommodate the circumstances. I believe today's teachers can take a page from their predecessors' actions. hilda Webster no partisan politics It’s time the B.C. premier and the leader of the B.C. Teachers Federation quit talking about the importance of children and put our money where their mouths are. Christy "family values" Clark should place an amount of money on the bargaining table equivalent to the average other provinces are spending on education. If the BCTF website is correct, B.C.’s funding for education on a per capita student basis is a disquieting $1,000 below the national average. The teachers’ bargaining team, with the help of a non-partisan facilitator, can then participate in deciding how to distribute these additional funds. Teachers, who like to say how committed they are to their students, will then have to decide how much should go towards wage increases and how much should go toward reducing class size, i.e., hir-
ing more teachers and support staff. In other words, teachers will have to become part of the solution instead of part of the problem. The educational system will inevitably soak up all of the money thrown into it. Therefore, elected officials must set responsible limits by finding the correct balance between the short-term interests of taxpayers and the long-term interests of progressively developing our province. In short, partisan politics should be taken out of education. lloyd atkins an amazing Woman I've never known the name of the angel that keeps Bella Vista Road looking so nice until recently. Her name is Helen Sidney. This woman walks at least three kilometres up and down Bella Vista Road every day. She is the one who is always carrying bags of garbage on her walks. She collects up to two shopping bags full of garbage every day. I stopped once and told her that she is the only reason why Bella Vista looks so nice. I challenge people to take their garbage home and allow this woman to enjoy her walks. She says she just can't walk past it and not pick it up. I have never seen her empty-
handed and I hate to think of what our road will look like when she is no longer there to pick up after everyone else. Helen, you are the best. anonymous hard to find My wife and I are travelling from Nova Scotia on a long tour of the U.S. and Canada. We arrived in Vernon recently and could not find your tourism office. We came in from the north. The sign pointed to turn left and in 400 metres we would come to the office. Then nothing. We circled the block around city hall and the police station but could not see your bloody tourism office. We tow a trailer and need space to park. We could see nothing that would indicate the existence of a tourism office. Frustrated, we left town. You lost a tourist and I am angry about it. We have travelled 12,000 kilometres on our trip and have found tourism offices in numerous cities without having to look for them. You are doing your town a disservice by not having a readily accessible tourism office. Adios. tony scott, aylesford, n.s.

Expense policy upgrade considered barb brouwer Morning Star Staff
Directors pushed pause on an attempt by Columbia-Shuswap Regional District staff to introduce policies on expense accountability and giving grants prior to elections. Jodi Kooistra, manager of financial services, brought forward a policy to amend travel and expense reimbursement for staff and directors and a second that
would prevent directors from giving grants in aid in the three months prior to a municipal election. Kooistra told directors that the travel and expense policy was adopted in 1981 and has not been amended since. “There are currently no guidelines that set limits on meal expenditures, room upgrades or partner programs,” she said. “We have been
paying out previously expense. on the basis of submit“Policy F-14 provides ted receipts, guidelines for but there was consistenc y a lack of conand accountsistency in ability when how we protravelling on cess expense regional disclaims within trict business, the organizarepresenting tion.” the regional Rene Talbot Kooistra district or explained attending that some submitted conferences, seminars receipts have shown and other training total amounts, but no opportunities,” wrote itemized details of the Kooistra in her report. “It is essential to have a clear and concise policy supported by sound procedures that clearly define the authority to attend, the permitted expenses, the payment limits and the reporting requirements.” CSRD chairperson David Raven supported the report. “Over the past several years, it has become apparent that the regional district needs to clarify and revisit their policies around expenses and grants in aid to ensure they’re consistent, fair and transparent,” he said. “In the case of the expense claims, the issues in the Senate and other levels of government provide a lesson that our expense claims must be reasonable and administered within defined policies.” While they didn’t say they opposed the policies, electoral area directors did not have an appetite to endorse the amendments. Falkland director Rene Talbot and North Shuswap director Larry Morgan asked that the policy be deferred, with Morgan saying it affects electoral area directors
and needs examination and “sorting out” before getting approval. Despite Golden director Christina Benty’s observation that the policy is “pretty standard” for other municipalities and organizations, South Shuswap director Paul Demenok supported Talbot and Morgan’s suggestion to defer the policy to the electoral area directors meeting. “We shouldn’t have let this sit around so much since 1981 but I support bringing it up at the EAD meeting for a robust discussion,” said Demenok. This did not sit well with chief administrative officer Charles Hamilton. “While I respect it may impact electoral area directors more, we did a lot of work on this and the problem is, we saw some serious issues with our current policy,” he said. “By deferring this, is the flawed policy going to be in place until a new policy is adopted, or is it going to fall on the chair and administrator to decide what will and will not be approved?” Talbot called the expense policy too vague on a number of points and wanted to make sure the regional district policy is in line with other districts and municipalities. “What they brought to the board was, ‘this is what we want to do,’ with nothing to show comparisons,” he said. “I agree that we have to be accountable, but let’s make sure we are in line with others.”

Morning Star Staff
Police are seeking public assistance in determining the whereabouts of a man last seen in December 2013. On June 8, 2014, the RCMP received a report of a missing person from a campsite near James Lake, about 16 kilometres east of Kelowna International Airport. Terrance Michael Landon had been living in a tent trailer on Crown land for several months and was building a small cabin in the woods there. The last known contact with Landon was Dec. 26, 2013 and when a friend recently went to check on him, they found his vehicle and trailer there but could not locate him. Central Okanagan Search and Rescue has conducted multiple area searches but Landon has not been located. Landon is described as a Caucasian male and 57 years old. He is five-foot-seven and weighs 141 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes and a fully, grey beard. Anyone with information on Landon’s whereabouts is asked to contact the RCMP.

Armstrong Rotary welcomed two new members to their club. Past president Shirley Fowler (L), new members Ryan Pat and Kalvin Krause, past president Gavin Hall and 2014-2105 president Pat Nelson. Membership message At the first meeting fo the new year, ADG Peter Moor, who attended the installation of new officers, said it was especially significant that the new year included two new members to a very active and welcoming club. Armstrong Rotary meets Tuesdays at the Anchor Inn at 6pm. Their major project is handling all the parking for the Interior Provincial Exhibition, which begins August 27 this year. It takes a small army of volunteers to co-ordinate this huge venture.
Vernon July is Membership Month July in the Rotary calendar is Membership Month and the month before that was Fellowship Month. Fellowship is the basis for the ideal of Rotary service but Rotary, like many other organizations that have existed for decades, is now facing membership challenges. Beside the usual 10% churn in almost all organizations, especially the volunteer ones, where a number of members leave because of business or time pressures, dwindling interest, the western world is caught up in the greying phenomena of its populations. For this reason, organizations such as Rotary are actively recruiting new members. Rotary International is just that – international – and that is why we can report that Rotary’s international president is Chinese. This month, Gary C.K. Huang, a member of the Rotary Club of Taipei, Taiwan, becomes the first Chinese president of Rotary International and is asking Rotary members to Light Up Rotary in 2014-15. There are 34,000 Rotary Clubs around the world, in 200 different countries or regions with a total of 1.2 million members who seek to Do Good in the World. In June of this year, Vernon Rotary Club sponsored an outbound exchange student and welcomed home another exchange student who had spent part of her year in a school learning Spanish and the other part of her year at college. We invite you to join a Rotary Club, or if you have only a limited amount of time, join one of our projects. Change our Vernon community, volunteer and work with us on a local project. Rotarians work on local projects such as parks, food banks, helping with literacy, helping youth and many different things. On the international front, Rotary is helping people in many countries with clean drinking water and sanitation, schooling, peace, etc. Rotary clubs around the world work with each other to ensure that the services delivered are exactly what is needed. Partner with us. We work with groups of all sized to accomplish even more.

Sharing stories Rotary clubs meet weekly for fun and fellowship, and invite guests to share their stories. In July, Colin Williams spoke of his experience with the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) session he attended in Naramata, BC this past May. The RYLA themes are Strong leaders are made, not born and Leadership skills are learned, not inherited. The four day event features fun, exciting and challenging leadership training programs for youth ages 19 to 24. The program encourages debate on responsibility and human relations, improves leadership and communication skills, and teaches conflict resolution. Previous guest speaker Vincent Van Wieringen, president of the Vernon & District Métis Association, conveyed the history of the Métis going back to the Selkirk Settlement in Manitoba in the early 1800s. Recent court rulings have improved the status of the Métis to be similar to other Aboriginal people. There are about 600 Métis living in the Greater Vernon area. The association promotes issues such as funding for foster care, and teaching culture and heritage issues through their Community Connection for Aboriginal Youth program. After attending the Rotary Adventures in Citizenship program in Ottawa, Tori O’Keefe-Nield provided club members and guests with a power point presentation of her experience. Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Ottawa, Tori was one of 220 outstanding senior high school students from across Canada who spent four days in Ottawa to develop their potential as leaders in our communities and in Canadian society.

Vernon baseball products Landon Currie (left) and Jacob Holland will be playing for Canadian teams at the Latin America Baseball Classic, Aug. 6 -12, in the Dominican Republic.
Latin Classic for duo ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
In the Dominican Republic, baseball is king. And two Vernon baseball products will experience playing in its kingdom. Jacob Holland, 15, and Landon Currie, 14, will be playing on teams representing Canada at the Latin America Baseball Classic in the Dominican capital of Santo Domingo, Aug. 6-12. Holland, entering Grade 11 at Vernon Secondary, will play catcher for Canada’s U18 squad. Currie, going into Grade 10 at Fulton Secondary, is a first baseman, outfielder and pitcher who will play for the Canadian U14 entry. “I went to try out in Penticton and I wasn’t eligible to play for the U14 team, so the U18 needed a catcher and they called me to play. I said, ‘Sure,’” said Holland. “It will be a great experience. I probably won’t ever get a chance like this again.” Currie didn’t try out but has been playing baseball all spring with the Vernon AA Bantam Canadians. His spot on Team Canada came after some help from Holland’s father, Dennis. “They needed a couple of more players and Jake’s dad told
them about me,” said Currie. “They looked at my profile and then they called me.” Both players will get an opportunity to play countries such as the U.S., Mexico, Venezuela, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. The host country just happens to be the reigning World Baseball Classic champions, and has produced hundreds of Major League Baseball players including the likes of current Toronto Blue Jays Jose Bautista, Edwin Encarnacion and Jose Reyes, and slugger David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox. “I’m really excited for the competition,” said Holland. “It’s going to be interesting to see how we stack up against other countries that play baseball.” Holland started catching as a natural progression from his winter pastime, being a hockey goalie. A couple of seasons behind the plate and Holland fell in love with the position. “It’s a lot fun back there,” he said. Holland describes himself as a “good defensive catcher, good at blocking balls, calling a game, with a decent arm.”

The Vernon Source For Sports Tigers are the Thompson Okanagan Lacrosse League playoff champions. The Tigers brushed back the first-place Kamloops Venom 9-7 in overtime before 400 fans Friday night at Kal Tire Place, taking the best-offive final series in four games. Vernon forced the extra 10-minute period by levelling the score at 7-7 with 16.8 seconds remaining in regulation and goalie Aaron Jensen on the bench for a sixth attacker. “We pulled AJ and ran a play right out of the book and the boys executed,” said a joyous head coach Myles Brumpton. “Braden Barr pumped it in with a quick stick over the goalie’s (Dalan Etter) left shoulder. “The boys were so poised on the bench and didn’t panic. They listen to us.” Captain Brett Hanna carried the ball into Kamloops territory and dished off to Ryan Sarazin, who in turn fed Barr. In overtime, Darrell Landels pocketed his fourth of the game and Jordan Orr added insurance with a one-handed offering through a screen. Landels connected when he got Etter moving the wrong way with a deke on a two-on-one with Bayne Bosquet. The Tigers ragged the ball for two full minutes when Hanna was called for high sticking in OT. “We came out a little more controlled and stayed really focussed,” said Jensen. “Losing the last game kind of opened our eyes that it wasn’t going to be easy.” Landels also had one helper, while Orr earned 2+1 and other goals came from Bosquet and Sarazin. Hanna collected three assists. Brady Jorgensen supplied 2+1 for the Venom, while Colton Boomer, Kyle Pauwels, Haden Hoover, Kyle McLellan and Riley Peterson had singles. Brumpton noted that Jensen rang up an impressive 8.5 goals against average against the league’s most potent offence. “We’ve got the team to do better than fourth we got last year,” said Jensen. “The guys are ready to get back to the rink for practice. Like coach said, the season’s not over yet, just midway.” Vernon hosts the four-team provincials, starting with a Saturday night tilt versus the West Coast champions – either the Delta Islanders (15-0-1) or the Coquitlam Adanacs (14-2). Vernon plays Kamloops Sunday morning.

Baseball trip of lifetime Continued from A13
Offensively, Holland says he’s a “contact hitter that finds the gaps.” Currie has been playing baseball since he was four, and is hoping to see some action in the Dominican at his favourite position, first base. But with two lefties at the position on the team already, Currie may find himself in the outfield. One thing Canada – made up mostly of players from B.C. and Alberta, in both age classes – will rely on from Currie is getting on base. “I love base running,” said Currie, who recently represented the Okanagan in volleyball at the B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo, and who also excels in hockey and rugby. “I’m probably one of the fastest guys on the team. I’m not a long-ball hitter, but I can use my speed to get on base.” Neither player has been to the Dominican Republic, nor has either played against top-level competition. The U.S., for example, will be sending national squads to the Latin
American Classic. “For sure, this will be one of the top experiences of my life,” said Currie, whose answer was echoed by Holland. The players have been raising funds for their trip through working over the summer, family, friends, community support, and donations from Vernon and District Baseball Association along with area businesses. Each team is guaranteed four games which will be played in and around Santo Domingo and Boca Chica.

Seasons in the Okanagan Sistas stopped the Shuswap Kaos 2-0 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer League Division 2 play Thursday night in Salmon Arm It was almost a complete repeat of last week for Sistas’ goal scorers as Genevieve Nice scored on a sweet pass from Diane Neudorf and Neudorf converted on a gorgeous pass from Nice. Both goals came in the second half. Wendy Nadeau earned the clean sheet. The Sistas (11-1) welcomed Brenda Deboice out of retirement and she showed well with both feet.

Amy Fox will compete for the Team B.C. Junior Female lacrosse team at nationals in Whitby Ont. in August.
Fox off to nationals TYLER LOWEY
Morning Star Staff
Amy Fox started playing lacrosse in her backyard against her brother, then she moved onto the North Okanagan Legends, but in Whitby, Ont., she will finally get to play against other girls. “My brother got into it because his friends were playing. We started playing around in our backyard and I was beating him. He was like ‘you’re good. You should start playing’,” said Fox. Fox has been named to the junior girls Team B.C. box lacrosse team headed to National in Whitby in early August. Fox, who turned 15 on June 16, got cut from the midget team, but was then scooped up by the junior team, which is normally for girls 17-21 years old. “She is a strong player in the offensive zone and a very physical one from playing with boys all these years,” said Team B.C. coach Jason McDole. McDole coached Fox last summer when he took the B.C. Bantam team to nationals in Halifax, where they won silver. “I really enjoyed the people last year. They were all there for the same reason and working towards the same goal,” said Fox. Fox is coming off a disappointing season with the North Okanagan Midget A2 Legends. “We didn’t win a lot,” said Fox. McDole coaches the girls Ridge Meadows Burrards and never saw Fox play with the Legends this year, but is taking her based on what he saw a
year ago in Halifax. “When I first met her, she wasn’t too experienced and didn’t know too much about lacrosse. But she took what we taught her last year and ran with it,” said McDole. “She is very talented.” Fox will enter Grade 10 at Pleasant Valley and loves to play hockey, soccer and basketball. Whenever she isn’t training or in school, she loves to veg out and crush some of her favourite shows such as: Pretty Little Liars, Community, the Big Bang Theory and Duck Dynasty. Fox didn’t score but recorded a lot of assists with the Legends this year. However, she lit the lamp several times during the four-day tryout camp at the Langley Events Centre at the end of May. “I normally only score when I play against the girls,” said Fox. Added McDole, “She brings a lot to the table and we are expecting her to score. She played great at tryouts and scored a few times.” Team B.C. is practicing every weekend in the Lower Mainland leading to nationals, one in which Fox will be dedicating for her lost friend and teammate. “Whatever I do at nationals I am dedicating to Miles (Wohlford). He was a good friend and I played box and field lacrosse with him over the past two years. His sister and I are really close,” said Fox. Wohlford, a highly popular 14-year-old, died July 4 after suffering massive head injuries in a boating accident on Okanagan Lake.
Rath busts out of scoring drought Morning Star Staff
Ken Rath ended a lengthy scoring slump after hitting loads of hardwood as Vernon Kal Tire shut down Kelowna 3-0 in Okanagan Men’s 55+ Soccer League play Thursday night at MacDonald Park. Rath took a feed from Denis Chabot, then listened to Chabot tell him he had time before running inside the 18 and finding the right corner in the ninth minute. Chabot headed in a rebound after winger Dave Hampton’s 18-yarder off the crossbar, 15 minutes
later. Hampton made several clutch plays to take the LaSenza Man of the Match. Central midfielder Jim Sparrow took a pass from Jenne Huberts, deked the keeper and buried an insurance tally, in the 39 minutes. Terry Lowe and Felix Heinrich shared the clean sheet as the tiremen improved to 5-6-2. Kelowna dipped to 3-11-1. No score was reported from the Vernon Silver Stars-Lake Country FC game also played Thursday night.

Doug Roxburgh of Vancouver won his second consecutive B.C. Golf Men’s Senior Championship Thursday after shooting a 3-under 74 at Christina Lake Golf Club.

by one stroke. Lundy went 69-69-74. Roxburgh started the day with a stroke advantage and after nine holes, with two birdies, was four strokes ahead of the next competitor. After the turn, however, Roxburgh ran into some trouble getting out of the left bunker on number 10 and double bogeyed for the first time in the Championship. The trouble didn’t end there as a double bogey again on the 12th left the Marine Drive Golf Club member tied at -5 with Lundy. “I was playing quite well, very comfortable on the front nine and then hit a couple of sloppy shots on the back nine starting on the 10th hole and just let Lance and some others right back into it,” said Roxburgh. “I just had to work hard to make some pars coming in. That’s golf, I’m fortunate to get away with that one, I think.” The veteran competitor showed his composure after the glitches, making par for the remainder of his round. Lundy made a surge for the title and even briefly led after he capitalized on Roxburgh’s struggles with a birdie on 11, but unfortunately would concede his lead with two bogeys late in the round finishing second at a four-under-par 212. Jim Shaw, of Mission, was also briefly tied with Roxburgh and Lundy at -5 with only a few holes left to play. Shaw was one-under at the turn and played strong and consistently making par for nine holes in a row until closing out his round with back-toback bogeys. Shaw finished at -3 in third. Norm Bradley of Kelowna was fourth at 72-6874-214, one stroke back of third. The trio will represent B.C. at the Canadian Men’s Senior Championship, Aug. 26-29, at Capilano Golf and Country Club in West Vancouver. Lindbjerg, Brown and John Gallacher of Burnaby shared fifth place at 215. The Super-Senior Championship saw fourtime back-to-back B.C. Senior Men’s Champion, Lindbjerg, and tournament low scorer, Kent Brown of Washington, each finished at one-under. The pair both made par on 18 and headed to number 10 for the second hole of the play off. Each made straight shots down the fairway from the tee, but Brown’s second shot found the left bunker and he ultimately bogeyed the hole. Three Vernon players missed the cut in the seniors championship: Mark Longworth shot 81-74; Michael Sheldon was 81-77 and Greg Betts carded 84-78.

Oyama Zipline reaches new heights Morning Star Staff
Oyama Zipline Forest Adventure has added another ride to its seven-station zipline course in Lake Country. This brings the total number of ziplines to 11 and three of these lines travel parallel to each other so guests can zipline at the same time as their friend. “Our racing lines have been a huge attraction,” said owner Peter Madsen. “The newest zip ride is also a double line. It is part pendulum, part bungy and the most unique zipline ride around. We call it the Boomerang Line.” The Boomerang Line has a big ‘belly’ in the center. Riders will build speed going down the first half of the zipline then travel uphill on the second half of the ride, then reverse and boomerang back towards where they started. The riders will be on the zipline longer, zipping back and forth several times. You and your partner will pass each other several times while you both zip the halfpipe. To reach the take-off platform for this newest addition to the zip park, participants ascend a new Burma Bridge. “With more companies entering the local marketplace, we wanted to make sure our zip park had the most variety for locals and tourists to experience,” said Jennifer Madsen, co-owner. “We have two other rope bridges in the tour but this new Burma Bridge is an exciting crossing to a tower above the trees.”
Guides at Oyama Zipline in Lake Country celebrate the opening of the new Burma Bridge and the Boomerang Line.

Wings Tap and Grill ready to make debut in Vernon Tyler lowey Morning Star Staff
A new restaurant is opening in Vernon with plenty of wings, beverages and TVs. “These are the best wings in North America, period,” said Bobby Naicker , president and founder of Wings Tap and Grill. The restaurant features 46 wing flavours, eight to 10 different beers on tap and 14 to 20 TVs. “We wanted to bring something new to Vernon. This is a spot you can bring your family and friends and have a good time,” said Katie Bellamy, Vernon Wings’ owner Wings will be in East Side Mario’s old location in Anderson Village and plans to open towards the end of July. “We are more than just a wing place. We offer a full menu; everything from racks of ribs, rice bowls to steaks,” said Bellamy. Wings recently opened a new location in

“We saw this as a golden opportunity to expand our chain,” said Naicker. Wings started up eight years ago in Surrey, and is just starting to work its way into the Interior thanks to the success it has received. Naicker says that it’s the wings that separate their restaurants from other pubs. Their wings are delivered fresh daily from B.C. farms and are flavoured and baked in house. Any true wing aficionado needs to check the Bobby Wing off their bucket list. “Very rarely have I seen anyone eat more than two or three. It’s a fun and quite the challenge. People come in from all over to try the wing,” said Naicker. The restaurant has several micro-breweries available along with five taps featuring Okanagan Springs to go with a variety of wines.

Students earn trades honours Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan students are embracing the trades as potential career opportunities. Jacob Wall, with A.L. Fortune Secondary, won silver in auto body repair at the Skills Canada national competition while Clarence Fulton Secondary’s Hudson Schier won silver for electronics. “We are very proud of all of the B.C. students who participated at the 20th annual Skills Canada competition,” said Amber Papou, Skills Canada B.C. executive director. “These students represent the high-quality results that are being produced at B.C.’s training institutions, and allow us to showcase them to a national audience.” The Skills Canada National competition is the only Olympic-style, multi-trade and technology event of its kind for students and apprentices in the country. The event took place at the International Centre in Toronto where 60 different assigned projects were showcased in major skilled trade and technol-

ogy categories. The 500 competitors from all provinces and territories were evaluated by independent judges from the respective industry sectors. Their decisions were based on industry standards and established work practices, using specific criteria such as quality of work, safety, cleanliness, skill level and creativity. Each year, Skills Canada B.C. works with more than 12,000 B.C. students. By 2022, B.C. is expecting one million job openings in B.C created by retirements and our growing economy. More than 78 per cent of jobs will require some form of post-secondary education, and 43 per cent will needs skilled trades and technical workers.
The increasingly familiar thrum of helicopters could be heard across the Central Okanagan Thursday, but this time it wasn’t for firefighting. A storm that threw down a record-making 29 millimetres of rain over 24 hours prompted cherry growers to call on choppers to hover above their crops for an emergency blow-dry. David Geen, past-treasurer of the B.C. Cherry Growers Association, said the maneuver is one of the only ways to save a crop from being waterlogged. “The cherry keeps absorbing water until it bursts its skin,” he said. “Sometimes it sits on the point of the cherry and you get a nose split, often sits by the stem, and you’ll get a cracked stem.” The key to avoiding damage is acting swiftly. “My experience has always been you have four hours, there’s no problem. Six hours you get some issues,” he said. “More than 18 hours you invariably have trouble.” Some cherries, such as the Skeena variety, have a greater propensity for splitting than others. With the bulk of drying efforts behind them, the question cherry growers will face now is whether they took damage mitigating efforts early enough to protect profit margins. “It’s a devastating time of year for this to have happened. When you get a number of damaged cherries, your profitability goes down,” explained Geen. Worse yet, Geen estimated that only 25 per cent of the central and north Okanagan’s cherries would have been picked yet. “Our market runs from August even into September,” he said. “The price goes up 50 cents a week, up to the middle of August. If you can grow fruit late in an area late, that’s ideal.” LB

To eat or not to eat, that is the question. For hundreds of years people have been dining on the richness of the natural plant life of the North Okanagan. On Wednesday, you too can learn all about what’s edible and what’s not at the Allan Brooks Nature Centre as part of their Sunset Speaker’s Program. The program starts at 7 p.m. with guest speaker Barb Le Beau, an aboriginal education worker whose knowledge of traditional plants comes from the Secwepemc and Okanagan people and who now shares this knowledge with schools and at nature events such as this. Barb was born in Terrace, B.C. and is from the Gitxsan Nation although she came to the Shuswap as a child and now lives in Lee Creek with her husband, Mike. “The program includes a visual presentation and a wide variety of many of the actual plants plus discussion of their uses and preservation, followed by a question and answer period,” said Janice Buick, events coordinator for the ABNC. “Bannock mix with dried berries will also be available for sale by ACES (Aboriginal Community Elders Society).” Admission is by donation and attendees are encouraged to bring friends, chairs and cameras to take pictures of the view and sunset. The Allan Brooks Nature Centre is supported by its members, volunteers, donors, sponsors, partners, granting agencies and admission fees. The centre rely heavily on community resources for its success in nature interpretation, habitat conservation and nature-based events.

Ladies Pretty in Pink for a cause Morning Star Staff
An event that tees up top notch support for local breast cancer diagnosis is filling up fast. Predator Ridge Golf Resort plays host to the 12th Annual Wine Women and Woods Golf Tournament Sept. 7 to 8. “Now in its 12th year the Wine Women and Woods tournament has raised in excess of $690,000 with the money staying right here in the Okanagan Valley,” said Marilyn Scott with the event. “This year’s tournament continues to raise funds to digitize the mammography suite at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital.” Ladies will be Pretty in Pink as they tee-off for the cure at the prestige golf resort, following the Sunday evening auction and gala at Sparkling Hill Resort. “This is a night of good music, good food and the now very famous ‘caddy auction’ – brave
men all,” said Scott of the occasion which has a limited number of tickets available. The evening will be emceed by Predator Ridge golf pro AJ Eathorne and the auctioneer will be Don Dodds. Then the Predator course will be awash in pink for the Pretty in Pink theme. “Spots to play golf are filling fast with only a few teams left and the response from the local community as donors and as sponsors has been overwhelmingly good,” said Scott. Each hole will have some sort of entertainment, either food sampling, beverage sampling or a fun game with interesting prizes. “Proving once again that having fun can help support a very serious cause – a world without breast cancer.” For more information on how to partici-

The sharp eye of three Vernon residents has captured them a spot in a provincial photo contest. After sifting through more than 2,100 entries for the Your Best Shot photography contest, 75 finalists have been selected. Leanne Cadden, Sean Donovan and Shane LaLonde have earned a spot in the finals, which will put them in VIP seating at the Abbotsford International Airshow for the next round of competition. They will compete for more than $1,500 in prizes and the chance to be named the Next Generation Amateur Photographer of the Year through their photos of the Aug. 8 to 10 airshow. This is the second year that Black Press, in partnership with London Drugs and the Abbotsford International Airshow, have hosted the competition, which drew in entrants from across British Columbia. Amateur photographers were asked to send in their favourite photos from the past 12 months, whether they were actionpacked sports shots, colourful scenic landscapes or touching portraits. A range of stunning landscape photos is exactly what earned Sean Donovan a winning spot.

Shane LaLonde
Shane LaLonde took this detail oriented photo of rice triangles, or Zongzi, his wife made.
The 18-year-old UBCO student is currently working full time at Gilbert’s Part Depot, but also enjoys capturing the beautiful scenes of the area. “My brother was the one that told me about the contest, he came across it while looking at the paper,” said Donovan. “This is my first time entering this contest, and even any contest at all really, so I was really thrilled to the chosen on Dispensary my first attempt.”

Having never been to an airshow before, Donovan plans to take in all three days in Abbotsford and take advantage of the view. Teacher Shane LaLonde, 43, is also looking forward to attending the show with his wife and three-year-old son. “I entered this year just to see how my pictures would do,” he said. “I was very excited and happy to become a finalist.” LaLonde’s photo of Zongzi (rice triangles) was taken in his own kitchen after his wife made them. It’s one of a 365 project he started in January. “The goal of the project is to take and post a picture for every day for a year. I started the project to become a better photographer and to get off of the auto mode.” Cadden is better known in the area for her artwork, primarily paintings of nature. But she also has keen eye behind the lens of a camera, and proved that with her detailed photo of a cob of corn still on the stalk at the St. Ann’s Pumpkin Patch. “When I saw the contest advertised in The Morning Star, I thought I’d enter a few photos just for fun,” said the Vernon mom. “I had no idea that they would place me in the finals. “I can’t wait to attend the Abbotsford Airshow and compete with the other finalists.” For more information or to view photo entries, visit www.vernonmorningstar. com/contests and click on Your Best Shot 2014.

City Furniture lends a hand Morning Star Staff
A round of golf has swung up support for North Okanagan health care. City Furniture donated $4,000 to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation after a golf tournament at Predator Ridge Golf Resort. “The hospital is a facility that the entire community benefits from,” said Ruby Sharma, president of the City Furniture store in Vernon. Participating in the golf tournament were City Furniture store principals from across B.C. and suppliers. The $4,000 will go towards an infusion pump, which will be used in the top two floors of VJH’s Polson tower. An infusion pump delivers fluids into a patient’s body in a controlled manner. Currently, the VJH Foundation is trying to raise $2.5 million to equip the sixth and seventh floors, which are being developed for patient care. About $1.5 million has been raised by the foundation to date. “Over the past months, generous donations have been received,” said Sue Beaudry, VJH Foundation director of development. Community support continues to be sought and Beaudry says donors have a number of options when determining where there money goes.
“With $4,000, you can buy four blood pressure units or sleep chairs so family members can stay with their loved ones,” she said. “Wheelchairs are $1,000 each so you could buy four of them with $4,000.”

The Okanagan, according to author, pilot and photographer Mike Biden of Penticton, is one large gem. Biden has released his third book on the region combining his passions of piloting and photography (and his sixth book overall), Jewels of the Okanagan. The first two books – Okanagan Above and North Okanagan Above – were taken strictly from the cockpit of Biden’s Cessna aircraft, and gave readers spectacular images. Okanagan Above focused on the south and central Okanagan, while North Okanagan Above featured photos from Lake Country through to the Shuswap and Revelstoke. Jewels of the Okanagan has 79

ing from Osoyoos and Oliver in the south to Spallumcheen in the north. “What I see of the Earth exhilarates me,” said Biden. “The more I photograph this Okanagan region, the more precious it becomes to me. And the more diverse in geology and animals that are unique and rare to this area, it blows my mind.” North Okanagan landmarks featured in the new book include Kalamalka Lake, O’Keefe Ranch and Predator Ridge Resort. Lakes, vineyards, bighorn sheep, orchards and the Okanagan’s history also play prominent roles in Biden’s images. “We live in such a pristine area. The orchards, vineyards, lakes, it’s amazing,” said
Biden. “That’s why I like photography. It makes me slow down and makes me appreciate what God has made.” Biden’s past books and images have struck a chord with readers. More than 5,000 copies of Okanagan Above and North Okanagan Above were sold, and interest is already running high for Jewels of the Okanagan. “I’ve sold 718 books in 12 days. I can’t believe that. It’s staggering,” said Biden. Jewels of the Okanagan is available for $20 at Bookland, the Greater Vernon Museum and the Vernon Visitor Information Centre. The book can also be ordered from Biden at mikebiden@shaw.ca, or by phoning him at 250486-2112.

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.

I love this time of year when the gardens, farmers’ markets and fruit stands are packed with fresh local vegetables and fruits. Especially new are the good supply of beans, new potatoes, freshly picked corn and cherries. Green beans are so delicious with just a little butter and a sprinkling of salt and pepper; but try them with chopped dill and lemon, or caramelized onion or garlic or any other favourite herb of your choice. Beans can stand alone, but they can also be made into countless side dishes. Farmers are now picking the first of our local corn and it is such a summer favourite. Besides boiling, steaming, roasting or barbecuing it, fresh corn makes the best chowders ever and I have a recipe for one today. And what can I say about new potatoes except delicious! Again steamed, roasted, grilled, pan fried; add caramelized onion, garlic, cream; herbs like dill, rosemary, thyme or oregano, whatever you feel like, they make a mouth-watering treat. Perhaps end your meal with fresh cherries or a baked cherry dessert. Last season I didn’t find sour cherries but I’m on the prowl for them now and hope to find enough to last me through the winter. Today’s recipes are varied and include the above-mentioned three veggies and fruit; all are worth a try. Japanese-Style Sesame Green Beans 1 tablespoon canola oil 1-1/2 teaspoons sesame oil 1 pound fresh green beans, washed 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds 1/2 cup slightly crushed peanuts or cashews Warm a large skillet or wok over medium heat. When the skillet is hot, pour in canola and sesame oils, then place whole green beans into the skillet. Stir the beans to coat with oil. Cook until the beans are bright green and slightly browned in spots, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in soy sauce; cover, and let sit about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and nuts. Summer Corn Chowder with Scallions, Bacon and Potatoes 5 ears fresh corn 7 oz. green onions (about 20 medium) 3 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter 1 jalapeño, cored, seeded and finely diced 1 tsp. kosher salt; more to taste Freshly ground black pepper
Garnished with peanuts or cashews, JapaneseStyle Sesame Green Beans are a tasty side dish.

Summer Corn Chowder makes great use of the local corn that is just arriving in markets now. 3-1/2 cups low-salt chicken broth 1-1/2 cups Yukon Gold potatoes, chopped 1-1/2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme 2 Tbsp. heavy cream Husk the corn and cut off the kernels. Reserve two of the corn cobs and discard the others. Trim and thinly slice the green onions, keeping the dark-green parts separate from the white and light-green parts. Cook the bacon in a 3- or 4-qt. saucepan over medium heat until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour off and discard all but about 1 Tbsp. of the bacon fat. Return the pan to medium heat and add the butter. When the butter is melted, add the white and light-green onions and the jalapeño, salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onions are very soft, about 3 min. Add the broth, corn, corn cobs, potatoes and thyme and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are completely tender, about 15 min. Discard the corn cobs. Transfer 1 cup of the broth and vegetables
to a blender and purée. Return the purée to the pot and stir in the cream and all but 1/3 cup of the onion greens. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for a couple of minutes to wilt the scallions and blend the flavours. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve sprinkled with the bacon and reserved scallions. New Potatoes with Cream and Dill 1 pound small new potatoes 1 Tbsp. butter 1/4 of a medium yellow onion, diced 1 small carton (250 ml) 18% cream Large handful fresh dill, chopped, with stems discarded Salt and pepper to taste Boil potatoes whole in a medium sauce pan filled with salted water until potatoes are tender when poked with a fork. Drain potatoes and leave in colander. Melt butter in the empty saucepan previously used to boil the potatoes. Add chopped onion and cook until starting to caramelize (about 5 minutes) over medium heat. Reduce heat and add the cream and the dill. Simmer right at the boiling point until the cream becomes very thick, stirring constantly. Add potatoes back to saucepan with
cream sauce. Salt and pepper to taste and stir potatoes to cover with the dill cream sauce. Sour Cherry Crumb Cake Topping: 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted, plus more for dish 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dish 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon Cake: 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened 3/4 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/4 cup buttermilk 2-1/2 cups (1 pound) fresh sour cherries, pitted, or frozen dark sweet cherries Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch square baking dish, and dust with flour, tapping out excess. To make the topping, stir together butter, flour, sugars, salt and cinnamon. To make the cake, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. With a mixer, cream butter and granulated sugar in another bowl until pale and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Working in alternating batches, add flour mixture and buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat until just combined. Pour into prepared dish, and smooth with an offset spatula. Dot top with cherries, and sprinkle with crumb topping. Bake until golden and a tester inserted into centre comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool before cutting.

‘Tugging’ along the lake
he old tugboat has moved into the neighbourhood and lodged itself quite solidly in front of our neighbours’ dock. It is a big boat in comparison to the pleasure craft that frequent that space. Cabin owners are used to unexpected visits by boaters but this was a big surprise. Since last Saturday the old tug boat that is usually sitting safely on the west side arm of Okanagan Lake near Adventure Bay got loose. That was a very windy day, so much so it prevented enjoyment of sitting on our dock, or outside dining, or boaters enjoying the lake. The SS Okanagan once sailed and worked these waters and was important, today it is used as a cottage and has been prettied up and serves a new purpose. Having this boat free provided some entertainment for cabin owners as it drifted from side to side of the lake.
The Way I see IT
Michele Blais
It also created a lot of angst as people did not want this uncaptained steel mass crashing into their dock. Its design would keep it in the water as the deep hull would get stuck before hitting shore. Several of our neighbours spent sleepless nights during the storms of this week concerned about where it would drift to next. Hoping it would sail back to the east side of the channel away from homes, docks and boats — even better would be that it would be towed back to its resting place. Water safety is very important for boaters — whether boating or docked, safety concerns are paramount. Also around our cabins to be careful and cautious.
Who wants the hassle of dealing with the damage it could cause on our brief summer holidays? The owner tried to pull it away from the docks on Thursday night and we cabin owners sat on our dock lined up waiting for the show, discussing the winds that brought it there, history of our beach and of this boat. We humans are very curious of disasters and accidents but do not want to be personally impacted. It was a David and
Goliath attempt to pull the boat away and despite Herculean efforts, it was not to be. It is going to take a stronger boat and perhaps some underwater work to dislodge it so that those cabin owners can have the peaceful enjoyment of their homes again and for the tug boat owner to get his floating recreation home safely secured. At the time of writing, it was still a neighbourhood attraction. Perhaps a ghost steers it across the lake remembering days
gone by as it so far has always avoided causing damage or Ogopogo is underneath guiding its passage. Yes that’s it — it was the summer of 2014 and during a blustery stormy day the old tug set itself free...
“Spear grass” is a generic term that encompasses 60 species of grass. These grasses all share similar characteristics, particularly their long, barbed awns. These awns have sharp barbs that attach themselves to the fur of your dog as they run through the tall grass. The spear grass can migrate through the tissues of your dog’s feet or legs. We have seen many dogs that have had spear grass imbedded in between their toes. In addition the spear grass is commonly found in a dog’s ear. When an awn enters into an ear canal, it can cause discomfort, infection and even rupture the ear drum. The awn will act as a sliver and cause an infection and may fester. Treatment of spear grass involves removal under sedation or possibly anesthesia. 1) Tips to keep your dog safe 2) Thoroughly inspect your dog after walks. Check ears, feet, under belly and eye area. Remove any awns. 3) Avoid walking in areas where these grasses are prevalent. 4) Shave the long hair on their feet. If you notice you’re pet licking or chewing their feet, scratching their ears or see an infected area. Contact the Vernon Veterinary Clinic.

Artist has her own year of magical thinking Norine Braun performs from her prolific songbook in Vernon
Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

singer-songwriter-guitarist norine Braun is in Vernon thursday to perform songs off her latest album, Conventus The Eye of the Heart, born out of her personal experience.
R
It’s a road many musicians take. Sing a few songs out loud in a café or on some sidewalk corner. Try to earn enough money to head into a recording studio. Make an album. Tour. Blues-rock-roots artist Norine Braun knows the drill, but she started her career a little differently. The Alberta native, who has lived in Vancouver the past 25 years, began her career as a songwriter years before she started performing her own songs. “I started recording in the mid-to-late ‘90s and it wasn’t until 2001 that I started performing live,” said Braun. “I was putting my work out to A&R companies and they asked me, ‘why aren’t you performing this.’ I had tremendous stage fright, but the more you do it, the better you get.” Braun is glad she listened to that advice. About to perform at Vernon’s Gallery Vertigo Thursday, she has overcome
adversity even greater than stage fright, which can be heard on her latest and ninth album Conventus The Eye of the Heart. Described by the artist as a labour of love, the album, released in November, is a joyful listen despite it being born out of a year of struggle, and on a happier note, a union. “I had colon cancer, which is now in remission. I had the surgery at the beginning of 2012. I also married my partner of 27 years. Her mom had dementia so (the album) has that depth of that mother/daughter relationship,” said Braun. “The songs are about being alive in the moment and connected, trusting what we have to face and having the courage to get through it. It’s a heavy subject matter, but I am grateful to have been able to get it out. I tend to be inspired by a catharsis or journey experience.” That resonates well with Braun’s next project, which she just received a Canada Council grant to start composing. Instead of being a story about her personal life, it’s about a subject she encountered five years ago, revolving around the story of a 19th century indigenous warrior woman who lived and died in the south-west Kootenays near
Creston. “I have a friend who is an archaeologist and he saw the story about her in old explorer/ trapper journals. He said, ‘you should write a song about her.’ I decided that it would be perfect to do an album on her so I wrote a grant application. I didn’t get it when I first applied five years ago, so I decided to make the story more accessible to people.” This time it worked, and Braun hopes to have the project completed in the near future. But first, she has a vast songbook to bring to the stage, which also includes a Wednesday on the Wharf performance in Salmon Arm this week. Touring as a trio, Braun (on guitar and vocals) will be joined by “Queen of the Trills” Alice Fraser on keys, and the electrifying Huggybear Leonard on ukulele, penny whistle and blues harp. “We will be playing songs from the new album and from the previous ones, and will cover a wide range of music,” said Braun. Doors to Thursday’s performance at Gallery Vertigo, #1-3001 31st St. (upstairs) open at 6:30 p.m. Showtime is from 7 to 9 p.m. Admission is $10 to $20 suggested donation.
You’ve never seen a puppet show like this
oot-a-toot-toot. That’s the way to do it! Those words, quoted from the rascallion Mr. Punch from Punch and Judy fame, describes the wickedly funny antics that are currently taking place at Caravan Farm Theatre this summer. Not to be confused with the Neil Gaiman graphic novel Kristin Froneman of a similar title, The Tragical Comedy of Punch and Judy could be subtitled, “How Mr. Punch learns to be a
THEATRE REVIEW
more kind and compassionate person, sort of....” Written by Victoria playwright Jacob Richmond, with music and lyrics by fellow capital city dweller Hank Pine, this tragicomedy-musical is part puppet show, part circus, part rock opera, with about every other absurd element thrown in for good measure. Played in human form by the hilariously expressive Paul Braunstein, Mr. Punch really is a class-A jerk. We first encounter him in puppet form with his band of merry characters from the original Punch and Judy show. There’s the delightfully goofy Joey the
Sleeman’s
Clown, played by the energetic Daniel Maslany (yes brother to Orphan Black’s Tatiana Maslany, proving that talent does run deep in Regina); living doll Pretty Polly (the lovely Lucy Hill, another Regina native); Mr. Pugs the Shaved Monkey (Thomas Jones, who needs no words to convey his character); the miserly bookkeeper Scaramouch (Christopher Hunt, who has become a regular around these parts, thank goodness) and the odd duck Jack Ketch the Hangman (a flexible Treena Stubel). For the past 350 years, Mr. Punch has literally tossed the baby out with the bath water and wielded his weapon of choice

like a high-sticking hockey enforcer, slapping everyone around both verbally and physically. His wife, Judy (played by Sarah May Redmond, and her incredibly powerful voice), has had enough. Tired of taking it on the chin, Judy is egged on by the dastardly Devil (Colin Doyle, unrecognizable from the delightful dweeb he played in last year’s Caravan play Head over Heels, and sporting a fine French accent under all that red makeup) to make a move. She sets her sights on the namesake from that Greek tragedy written by Sophocles 2,500 years before, the dashing Oedipus Rex (the kingly Paul Fauteux).

Punch your way to Caravan Continued from A31 After Judy dashes off with her paramour into the woods, the Devil interferes once again to help Mr. Punch win her back and go on with the show. Out of the woods is the guide to the netherworld, ferryman Charon taking the form of a 40-foot skeleton with a giant head (actually one of the many puppets designed by the immeasurably talented Catherine Hahn.) Once in the depths, Mr. Punch encounters a few other sprightly creatures - a giant serpent and the Oracle of Delphi, Pythia. To be honest, they don’t make much of an impression on Mr. Punch (the guy’s a stubborn jackass) but they do have an affect on the audience, judging from the audible gasps. Also impressing with their force of nature are the horses, including Caravan’s new team of Clydesdales, Spike and Frenchie, who drag the set pieces, including a familiar caravan sporting the Punch and Judy theatre, to start the scenes. The second act goes on a journey – by foot from the farm’s riding ring up in the woods to its rain venue, the open air timber frame barn– into territory you just have to see to believe. Basically, Mr. Punch is convinced by you know who to put on his own version of Oedipus Rex, hilariously titled The Stabbed Eyeball.
Let’s just say the show enters into Rock of Ages territory, with Mr. Punch doing his best Axl Rose impression as the doomed king with mommy issues, and even has a hip-hop element and an impassioned plea for women’s rights, courtesy of Joey the Clown and Pretty Polly, respectively. Meanwhile, Mr. Pugs gets his only speaking, make that singing part, and an interpretive dance shows both of Jack Ketch’s sides, a snort-out-loud scenario. This cockamamy lead-up makes the tragic scene that comes near the end of the play within a play a bit of a downer, but as this is billed as a tragicomedy, there ought to be one stab in the proverbial eyeball. The message here: love is worth the pain, and never trust your demons. Accompanied by an incredibly talented band (trumpeter Alfons Fear, Mishelle Cuttler, on accordion and piano, and drummer Andrew Taylor), the kids will be up dancing to the tunes that run from vaudevillian fare to disco, even when the humour flies right over their heads. And they’ll love those puppets! In all, The Tragical Comedy of Punch and Judy is a rootin’, tootin’ hoot. The play continues at Caravan Farm Theatre nightly at 7:30 p.m. now to Aug. 24 (no shows Mondays.) Tickets are available at the Ticket Seller, 250-549-7469, ticketseller.ca.

Arts Stranger than fiction
A
great American author once wrote that truth is stranger than fiction. In fact, truth is sometimes far stranger than any fiction ever created. The 900 Days: The Siege of Leningrad is a riveting narrative nonfiction epic by Harrison E. Salisbury about one of the harrowing and heroic chapters in the annals of history. In 900 days, beginning in 1941 when a German army blockaded the city, as many people died in Leningrad as the entire war losses suffered by the U.S. in the whole of its history – nearly a million-and-a-half men, women and children. They died fighting in citizen militias on the front line, fell to the incessant German shelling that pounded the streets and avenues of city, starved in their unheated apartments and hospitals and froze to death in the frigid cold and deep snow of the brutal Russian winter. It is also believed that some even died to feed a thriving market in human flesh that sprang up in The Haymarket, a great peasant market before the war but now operated by fat, oily, steeleyed men and women. There is no question people practiced cannibalism on a large scale during the darkest and most desperate months of the siege: the evidence clearly shows that people butchered corpses on a widespread basis. Salisbury weaves the stories of these survivors, and those who died in this city of ice and death, through the fabric of this searing narrative. The Black Count (2012) by Tom Reiss tells the extraordinary true story of Gen. Alex Dumas, the forgotten hero who inspired such classics as The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers. Virtually unknown today, his story still resonates because his son Alexandre Dumas used it to create some of the bestloved heroes of literature. The story of his father, of mixed racial and cultural heritage born in SaintDomingue (now Haiti) to a slave mother and a French nobleman father, is almost completely lost to history solely due to his race. But Reiss brings this remarkable man to

life in The Black Count. The book is brilliantly researched and the author draws on the material Alexandre Dumas incorporated into his own novels and memoir. The work explores the life of his from the time he arrived in France, through his schooling as a swordfighting member of the French aristocracy and his subsequent rise from a lowly private in the dragoons to a respected general who marched into Egypt at Napoleon’s side. Battle Cry of Freedom
(1988) by James M. McPherson is an indispensable modern interpretation of the American Civil War by one of its leading historians. In fact, this volume is now considered the standard one-volume history of the great conflict – a war that killed more Americans than all of the country’s wars combined. This dramatic, thoroughly researched work vividly recounts the momentous events that preceded the Civil War – the Dred Scott decision, the Lincoln-Douglas debates, John Brown’s raid on Harper’s Ferry – and shifts into a stunning chronicle of the war itself. These three volumes, and thousands of other nonfiction works, are available at the Okanagan Regional Library.
Live Well
HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist IAN JOHNSTONE
It seems that tablet devices like the iPad are being introduced to children at earlier ages all the time. Experts believe this can be a good thing for children even those younger than two years old and as long as the toddlers spend no more than a half hour daily with the device. Have you ever heard of bendopnea? It’s a new word for a new symptom. Patients with advanced heart failure often become short of breath when they bend over. Cardiologists are now looking to this symptom as a sign the patient needs help soon. Bendopnea comes from the root word “apnea” meaning shortness of breath. Swimmer’s ear is an infection in the outer ear canal caused by water remaining in the ear after swimming or bathing. It’s common in the summer months. Drying the ears well after swimming is part of the prevention. You can also use a homemade ear drop of equal parts of vinegar and rubbing alcohol to help the ear dry and the acidity of the vinegar could help prevent infection. Even though advertising drugs in the media is illegal in Canada, Canadians still see those ads flowing across the border from the U.S. The ads paint glowing pictures of the drugs and how great they are, however, many of these drugs are no better than others already in use. Your doctor is the best judge of what is right for you. Do you have questions about something you see in the media? Check with our pharmacists. We can put things into perspective for you.

Reel Reviews
Taylor and Howe
is a sappy movie about boring people, but it has a couple of laughs.” TAYLOR: Unfortunately for Sex Tape, a predictable premise plays out to
situations the audience sees coming and therefore aren’t very funny. The laughs that do come stem from the surprises the filmmakers have in store for you, but they are few and far between. Segel’s Jay character seems to have the likeable goofiness we’ve seen from him before. He made me laugh a couple times. I’m not sure what Diaz is doing with Annie, but I’m confident she isn’t being funny. Diaz, who has been
in a lot of films this year, is someone whom I often find unbelievable in a role. I’m beginning to wonder if that includes any role. Perhaps I cannot see her as human at all... HOWE: That’s because she’s become Batman’s nemesis, The Joker. There were a few scenes that made me laugh, nearly all of them included their best friends Robby (Rob Corddry) and Tess (Ellie Kemper). I don’t know

Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz star in Sex Tape. what it is about Segel. We’ve seen him on the big screen a few times now and I find he’s just not that funny, yet put him in How I Met Your Mother and I love him. It was nice to see Robe Lowe back in the movies. Yet again, like Segel and Diaz, he wasn’t that funny, but the artwork that adorned his walls made me smile a few times. TAYLOR: I did laugh out loud a couple of times. The film has moments that are funny. It’s just not funny enough. The film felt like a TV show, formulaic, watered down, laugh
track writing, passable acting. But this is a $40 million film with big Hollywood names. To have provided us the majority of the humour in the trailer is telling of a film they want you to get to, before you hear from people you trust that it is disappointing. Well, we’re telling you, it’s disappointing. HOWE: It is disappointing. You work hard all week, pay good money to get into the theatre just to watch a turkey. –Taylor gives Sex Tape 2 tangible assets out of 5. – Howe gives it 2 attack dogs out of 5.

Bridge by Phillip Alder DEDUCTIONS CAN COME FROM THE AUCTION Margery Allingham, commenting on her crime solver Albert Campion, wrote, “He did not arrive at this conclusion by the decent process of quiet, logical deduction, nor yet by the blinding flash of glorious intuition, but by the shoddy, untidy process halfway between the two by which one usually gets to know things.” It is, of course, better to draw conclusions from logical deduction. In this deal, South is in four hearts. West leads the spade nine. How should East deduce the correct defense? North made a gameinvitational limit raise, showing four or more hearts, 10-12 support points (here, all
high-card points, no short-suit points) and eight losers (here, two in each suit). East knows that West has led a singleton or high from a doubleton -- but which? East should ask himself, “If my partner has a singleton, how many spades does that give declarer?” Here, the answer is five. And would South have opened one heart with five spades in his hand? It would have been most unlikely, because with 5-5 in the majors, South would have opened one spade, not one heart. So East should deduce that his partner has led from a doubleton and should signal encouragement with his spade seven. South wins, cashes the heart ace, and plays another
heart. But West wins with his king, leads his second spade, receives a spade ruff and cashes the diamond ace for down one. Note finally that declarer does best to call for dummy’s spade king at trick one, making it more likely that East will have a reflex reaction and win with his ace.

Special To The Morning Star
OREGON - OK, it may be politically incorrect to say this, but I love a tipple, and my throat becomes positively parched whenever I think of Portland, Ore., that bountiful, boozy burg. Accompanied by three like-minded friends, I recently paid a visit. Our mission was to explore the latest hot, alcohol-fueled trend: urban wineries. What a brilliant concept, I thought, as we made plans to sip pinot noirs and gris, sauvignon blancs and zinfandels without ever leaving city limits. With 14 wineries to choose from, we had work to do. We took a taxi to the southeast sector of the city, a working-class district dotted with commercial and lightindustrial spaces. There, in a former garage with a sandwich board out front, was Enso Winery. We passed through a funky lounge, whose furnishings suggested a thriftstore lineage, and sat at a bar glistening with rows of wine glasses. Farther

The owner and winemaker, Ryan Sharp, poured us a Resonate #9, a blend of primarily Syrah with some Mourvédre and Primitivo grapes, that was soft and round in the mouth, with a hint of tartness. We were impressed.

“I’m a city boy,” said Sharp, “so I started the winery here in 2011 and it is growing nicely. In 2013, I produced just shy of 2,500 cases.” During the taxi ride to our next stop, the cabbie, beseeched us, “Why are you visiting wineries? Portland is Beervana. We have over 50 microbreweries, more than any city in the world. We got great beers here. You should try McMenamins’

Terminator Stout or Bridgeport’s Kingpin Double Red Ale or Gigantic Brewing’s Whole in the Head IPA.” We assured him that we agreed, and had enjoyed the beer-andale route on our last visit. Convinced we were making a mistake, he nevertheless delivered us to the SE Wine Collective, which was founded in 2012 and is shared by six wineries. Passing through a patio, we entered a small lounge with glass walls looking on to the working winery. It felt strange to be sipping wine next to rolling conveyer belts, vibrating grape crushers and hoses carrying juice to stainless steel vats. Anne Hubatch, the owner and wine maker of Helioterra Wines, took a break from directing the busy crew. She echoed the philosophy of the urban wine makers when she said, “By not having to buy a vineyard in the Willamette Valley and by sharing the costs of this equipment and facility with others, it’s possible for me, almost alone, to make really good wine.” She smiled and added, “The fact that I
am seven minutes from my home is also fantastic.” We sipped a Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, which was nuanced and layered with notes of red current, jasmine and plum and an earthy aroma of sandalwood and sarsaparilla. “Portland is a national food hub,” Hubatch explained, “and a place where people come and congregate for craft food and beverages. Making wine right in the city makes sense.” When our next cabbie heard our destination was Hip Chicks Do Wine, he launched a diatribe. “Wine, schmine, if you really wanna get serious, try the hard stuff. We got some great distilleries in Portland.” Intrigued, I quizzed our driver and learned that a handful of innovative craft distilleries have recently sprung up that produce spirits ranging from gins to vodkas to absinthe with intriguing names like Krogstad Aquavit, Aviation Gin and Hoppin’ Eights Aged Whiskey. During the rest of the afternoon we stopped at several more urban wineries: Alchemy, Seven Bridges, Division. It was fun, the wines were good and it was wonderful to be able to sample such a wide variety of wineries by easy taxi rides — although the cabbies tended to be rather opinionated. Yes, urban wineries have a lot going for them, and Portland is in a class by itself in the storied world of alcohol. Mission accomplished, we headed for a restaurant. With the cabbie chatting and the taxi swaying, I dozed off, dreaming of our next Portland trip. Perhaps we’ll explore distilleries and the seductive world of martinis.
