en minutes – 10 minutes! –into his cycle-across-the U.S. adventure for which he had trained for a year, and Henry Proce gets a flat tire. That would be one of only two flats Proce, a well-known member of the Lumby RCMP, got on what would be a 45-day jaunt from San Diego, Calif., to Jacksonville Beach, Fla., that began in early April. “The first one was five blocks after leaving my hotel in San Diego,” laughed Proce, 61. “I’m on the road 10 minutes, get a flat and I’m thinking, ‘Is this how the trip is going to be?’ I never had another flat tire until I was about a third of the way across Arizona, in a place called Alpine, Ariz., and that was it for the whole trip. I never had to buy a new tire or change a tire.” The cycling trek is something Proce had been interested in doing for the last year or so. He had read online about people doing long-distance cycling tours, and had a friend who went across America a few years ago. Discussions with the friend, plus the reading, kindled Proce’s interest. With the blessing of his employer – Proce is a 36-year RCMP veteran – and encouragement and support from his family, Proce packed up his new touring bike, which he bought a year ago, and tested on a short trip through the Kootenays, and headed (by plane) to San Diego. He planned his routes thoroughly with help of established cycling route maps he bought online. “The toughest part of the trip was the winds through west Texas,” said Proce. “I had very good weather, and nice tail winds for the first two weeks that basically blew me across California, Arizona and New Mexico. “I didn’t start to encounter head winds until I got to West Texas, El Paso to a place called Del Rio. You’re struggling against relentless headwinds coming at you at 30-to-

40 kilometres an hour. That was hard getting through. It’s flat and there’s nothing to break the wind.” Proce crossed several mountain passes which creates its own challenges as he is cycling for hours at a time to get over a pass (“It’s fun going down the other side,” he chuckled). “There were lots of challenges with the hills,” he said. “You get to east Texas, which is Texas hill country, and it’s constant hills, hour after hour after hour of great big hills.” Proce camped for 41 of his 45 days total on the bike tour. He stayed in hotels for three nights on rest days (which included renting a car for a side trip to New Orleans, something Proce had to cross off his bucket list), and there was the one evening he spent in a newspaper warehouse in Hurley, Miss. “It was raining so hard there, the people felt sorry for me,” said Proce. “I was looking around for a motel. I got to talking to this one guy who said there’s no motels or campgrounds for 20 miles, and it was just torrential rain coming
down, unbelievable. “He said, ‘I run the local newspaper warehouse across the road, it’s dry, there’s a radio and there’s a bathroom.’ I very much appreciated that.” The man was one of a handful of characters Proce met on his trip. “Everybody wants to ask you questions, ‘where are you going? You’re kidding?’” he said. “I met 15 to 20 other touring cyclists that were going my way so I rode with some of them. A lot of Americans were wondering if I was carrying a firearm and were quite surprised that I wasn’t. ‘You’re in a campground and you’re not packing? Holy cow.’” Proce did have to take nearly a week from his trip to attend the funeral of his mother-in-law, but returned to complete his journey to Jacksonville Beach, where one more surprise awaited him. “Jacksonville Beach is 16 miles past Jacksonville and I was pissed off when I found that out,” he

laughed. “I thought I was already there. I had to ride another hour through the city.” A friend met Proce in Jacksonville Beach and flew him and his bike to Niagara Falls, NY. Proce was then met by his brother and the pair went to Hamilton, Ont., where Proce picked up his late mother-in-law’s car, put his bike in the bike seat and drove – on
four wheels – across Canada, home to Coldstream. “I quite enjoyed my whole time on the bike,” said Proce. “I felt strong, my knees were good, my back was good. I was really grateful to be out there. It was nice at my age to do something like this, and I’ll remember it for the rest of my life.”

Flames roar through a residence in the 1200 block of otter lake cross road Friday at about 7:23 p.m. “The initial structure was gone before we got there,” said Ian cummings, armstrong-Spallumcheen fire chief. The blaze also consumed a detached shop and caused some damage to an adjacent home. “It was something with the heat,” said cummings. No one was injured during the incident. The cause of the fire has not been determined but it is not considered suspicious.
Lake drowning ‘devastating’ alex cooper Black Press
The body of a Coldstream man who drowned in Revelstoke Lake after jumping off a bridge was recovered by the RCMP Thursday. Kody Greveling, 28, drowned after diving off the Laforme Creek Bridge on Highway 23, about 20 kilometres north of Revelstoke, at about 7 p.m. Wednesday. On Thursday, his co-worker Elliott (who did not want his full name used) was back at the bridge to place some flowers in tribute of Greveling. He placed one bouquet at the side of the road and threw another into the lake. Elliott said they were at the lake relaxing after taking the afternoon off work. Greveling made one jump from the 25-metre high bridge and before they left, he decided to go for one more jump. He entered the water and never resurfaced. “At first we thought he was joking, but then he wasn’t coming up whatsoever,” said Elliott. “We dove in the water, but by then it was too late.” Elliott said he and Greveling had only known each other for a month, but they
Police target high speed Morning Star Staff
Motorists are burning up a stretch of Highway 97 in Lake Country and that has the police taking action. The RCMP have been conducting traffic enforcement on the upper-level route between Oyama and Winfield since it was opened last year, but the 100-kilometre-anhour speed limit continues to be ignored in many cases. “That doesn’t seem to be fast enough for some motorists as police have been busy Kris Clark dealing with excessive speeders,” said Const. Kris Clark, RCMP spokesperson. Between June 24 and July 24, police officers handed out 26 violation tickets for excessive speeding. Fifteen of the speeders were travelling 50 to 60 kilometres an hour above the posted speed limit while five were travelling 60 to 70 km/h above the limit. “One was travelling in excess of 70 km/h above the limit,” said Clark. “Drivers aged 17 to 78 showed that some motorists, regardless of age or experience, choose to jeopardize the safety of others just to shave a few minutes off their drive.” Excessive speeding carries a fine of $368 to $483 as well as a mandatory minimum seven-day vehicle impound.

Fire cause undetermined richard rolke Morning Star Staff
A massive blaze continues to fuel a mystery. Investigators have been on scene since a fire destroyed a barn, hay, a travel trailer, vehicles and assorted equipment on Pottery Road Thursday morning. “We haven’t been able to determine if it started inside the building and spread outside or vice versa,” said Jack Blair, Vernon deputy fire chief. “We had to destroy so much of the straw (to get the fire out) so that hinders the investigation.” A person was sleeping inside the travel trailer and narrowly escaped the approaching flames with her dogs. Potential causes include the pile of hay combusting on its own or an item stored inside the barn. The other possibility is the incident is suspicious. “To say that it’s 100 per cent not arson, we can’t say that yet,” said Blair, who acknowledges there is

The goal for firefighters Thursday was to keep the flames from spreading to the north to a shed and a house.

A Vernon veterinary assistant who has always had a soft spot for animals is now working to create a safer life for her furry friends. Camille Block is the founder of the Animal Abuse Defence Registry Society, a new online resource which can help keep animals out of harm’s way. The registry provides instant results as to whether or not the person you’re adopting an animal to has been convicted of animalcruelty related charges. “I was concerned over how easy it for anyone to adopt an animal,” said Block, a creative director at Sproing Creative weekdays and vet assistant at Crescent Falls Veterinary Clinic on weekends. “Most people and businesses have no idea about the background of the person they are adopting to.” Which is where the idea of an animal abuse registry came from.

State of the reunion
aty! It’s been so long! How’ve you been?” My God, she’s gained so much weight I didn’t recognize her. It’s a good thing we’re all wearing nametags. I thought it was some distant cousin past due with triplets. “Bob! Long time, no see.” No hair, either. Not a single hair left on his head and he’s 10 years younger than I am. He’s a cousin. Does that mean baldness runs in the family? Or can you catch it? I know there are many, many men who look manly with no hair, and a lot of men shave it now, but Bob is not one of them. He looks like a Jim Mullen shifty accountant. Even with hair, he would look shifty, now that I think about it. If he asks me who’s doing my taxes, I’ll make up a name. If I tell him I do my own, he’ll tell me how foolish I am, that he could save me thousands. Then I’d have to admit that I don’t make thousands. All my aunts and uncles and cousins would know it in a heartbeat. “Aunt Betty! It’s been too long.” It’s Bob’s mom. She’s obviously had something done to her face. Not a facelift – there’s not a crane big enough to lift that thing – but a little work around the eyes, maybe some botox in her forehead, a little collagen in her lips. She’s 65, and her hair is jet-black and stuck to her head like a batting helmet. It’s like seeing Betty Boop’s hair on Ma Kettle’s head. She asks if Bob has done my taxes. “No? You should use him. He saved me so much that I had a little work done.” “Really? You don’t look a day over 50.” “What’s that got to do with my new kitchen cabinets?” “Uh, I’m going to go get a beer. Can I get

you something?” “Still drinking?” “Only at family reunions. Who says I’ve been drinking?” “Oh, no one. We all just feel so sorry for Sue.” I wander off to look for Sue, and find her with cousin Jenny and her new baby. “Isn’t this the cutest child you’ve ever seen?” she says. Obviously, Sue was being polite. Rosemary’s baby would win a beauty contest against this child. Of course, you can’t say that. You have to be polite. But honest. “I haven’t seen that many babies,” I say, “but I’ll take your word for it.” Jenny gives us a sad look and says, “It’s such a shame that you two never had children.” “It is. We had to spend that $180,000 it takes to raise a child until they’re 18 on ourselves,” Sue says. “And we have no one to put through college, so we wasted the money on a pontoon boat and a place at the lake. But thanks for saying that. I’m so glad we get together as a family every few years.” That was a little harsh, I thought, but sometimes relatives can get on your nerves. “You ready to go?” I ask her. “We’ve only been here 20 minutes.” “It seems longer. So much longer. And everybody seems to think I have a drinking problem.” “Oh, that was me. I’ve already had two margaritas, so I told them not to give you anything to drink. You’re the designated driver tonight. I guess I could have phrased it differently.” “And we wonder how rumors get started. Be sure to mention that at the intervention. And try not to slur your words too much.” “Yesh, shir.” She makes a mock salute and walks off. Of course she’s having fun. It’s not her family. Contact Jim Mullen at JimMullenBooks.com.
Between fires and fatalities, the local news has been dominated by devastating stories. In some cases, these situations could have easily been avoided, so whether you’re hiking in the mountains, lounging on the lake or cruising the highways, vigilance is critical. As an example, we all know there is a campfire ban so there should be no human-caused wildfires. While campfires are a summer tradition, the need to safeguard homes and lives during hot temperatures takes precedent. If you spot a wildfire, immediately call 1-800-6635555 or *5555 on a mobile phone. As for the suspicious fires occurring in Greater Vernon, let’s keep an eye out at all hours. Anyone who sees anything remotely suspicious should alert the RCMP so a suspect can be identified. Okanagan summers also mean a time for enjoying the water and during this long weekend, the beaches and lakes will be extremely busy. Have fun and keep cool, but remember that there are inherent risks around water. Keep an eye on small children, wear a life jacket and be aware of your surroundings. And the long weekend also means a lot of traffic on local highways, and as the RCMP have indicated recently, some motorists continue to ignore posted speed limits. Excessive speed puts everyone on the road at risk. We all need to slow down, be patient and stay alert on the roads to ensure we all get home safe and sound. May this B.C. Day long weekend be a safe and memorable one for everyone in the North Okanagan.

see the teachers are on strike again. What else is new? For 50 years, ever since I was a child, the teachers have gone on strike in Alberta and B.C. Their main arguments haven't changed in 50 years either: (1) "We have a hard time delivering quality education (whatever that is) because of salaries, funding, class sizes, special needs, hunger, supplies, etc." (2) Teachers and children in other places get more money. This time around, it's, "My child in B.C. is worth $1,000 less than Alberta kids." Their conclusions haven't changed in 50 years, either, being a mix of smaller classes, better conditions, and more money — more salary, more funding per child and more wage parity with higher (never lower) paid teachers in other places, etc. Just for fun, I made a spreadsheet from the 2014 B.C. provincial budget expense figures by ministry. By my rough figures, the money was spent on health 47 per cent; education 30 per cent; social services; government and justice all about five per cent; roads, forest and energy all about two per cent; and other (trade, agriculture, etc.) about five per cent all together. So education, all forms, gets 30 per
cent. I think no one can seriously argue against the teachers' position that they could deliver a better education to society with smaller class sizes, fewer special needs kids and better school funding. Similarly, no one can seriously argue with nurses that they could deliver better medical care with more doctors, beds and operating rooms, etc. Of course we'd like everyone in society to have lower ratios of 1:10 (or whatever) for our shared teachers and doctors and justice system. It seems to me the issue is that society (you, me, the government
education needs funding I support B.C. public education. I grew up with it and it has served me well (I returned home 20 years ago to give back to it). The skills I learned and the credentials I received here in B.C. have been recognized and commended in several other countries, helping me to obtain employment. Will it be the same for future generations of B.C. kids? Definitely not. The B.C. Liberals are intent on saving money at the cost of the futures of our non-voting children. They are grossly under-funding public education by $1,000 per student, breaking the teachers union by using tax payers dollars to launch appeal after appeal over an issue in which they are dead wrong (i.e., stripping the contract of hard won benefits and improvements in working conditions is not negotiating) and provoking strikes, and dismantling the public school system by promoting
and taxes) doesn't want to pay for the lower ratios and upscale level of service visions. Society simply can't pay for them. It's simple math that is taught in school. Cut class sizes by half and double the 30 per cent costs — double the rooms, double the teachers to 60 per cent of the budget. Or double the number of doctors and hospital beds from 47 to 94 per cent of the budget. None of this will ever happen. It can't happen, obviously. I used 50 per cent half/double to make the math easy in this letter, but the point holds for all percent-
private schools through funding them at a rate equal to 50 per cent of public schools, even though parents already pay a tuition. How quickly can a public education system deteriorate? Look no farther than the U.S., England, and Australia. While working in the state of Victoria, Australia, in 2008, I witnessed a public school environment where it was literally impossible to teach. With one-third of students attending private schools (the average tuition in the Melbourne area is about $20,000), the public schools have become a nightmare. The students run the schools. They are disrespectful, noisy and disruptive, have no work ethic, and treat school as nothing more than a place to hang out with their friends. My fear is that under this government, public education in B.C. is headed down the same road.
ages. Society doesn't want to pay for more education or health. It can't_ pay for more, and is already making the best allocations that it is capable of making. By definition, it must take from someone (roads? justice?) to add more to health and education. So big education changes aren't going to happen any time soon and haven't happened in 50 years. I encourage everyone, including teachers, to make a little spreadsheet like I did and then engage with the government expense allocation problem to your own ability. You'll immediately find that it is not a simple problem. Society simply does not have the people, resources, money, or time to fund and implement all of the upscale, inflated visions of how good we can imagine our lives could or should be. When the nurses or teachers go on strike because reality doesn't fit their visions of how things could or should be, I feel for them. Striking against reality for 50 years with no meaningful results must be really frustrating. Make the spreadsheet, wrestle with the overall allocation issue and feel reality for yourself. K. Jameson
We need a strong public education system in B.C. We need the government to stop treating students, parents, and teachers like pawns. I encourage you to call your MLA, request a face-to-face interview and express your concerns. terry shykora paraMedics are vital Can I please bring to mind something I notice frequently in The Morning Star? When there is an accident of any nature, the police and firemen are usually given the accolades. I happen to know that along with these two very necessary forces are the ambulance attendants. Please give them the recognition they deserve also as they risk their own lives many times to help others and are a very dedicated group. del desrosiers

civic arena Further to Richard Rolke's column about Civic Arena, Vernon resident Ron Cull (now deceased) told me the arena was built largely by volunteer labour and donated material. The city incrementally supplied cash. So Vernon had the first artificial ice surface in the Okanagan. My opinion is the Civic, like Armstrong's Hassen Area, be converted into a year-round facility for ball hockey, lacrosse, roller, skating, roller derby, etc. W. Mcallister

Auxiliary recruits sought richard rolke Morning Star Staff
RCMP officers want to bolster their ranks in the North Okanagan. Recruits are currently being sought for the auxiliary police program in Vernon as well as throughout the entire region. “We would like a couple in Armstrong, Enderby and Lumby,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “We haven’t had a training program for a number of years and we have 12 active members now. Wed like to beef up our numbers because there have been a number of requests for auxiliary members in our community.” Both men and women can become auxiliary officers and they are asked to commit to 160 hours a year as volunteers. To become an auxiliary officer, a candidate must successfully complete 150 hours of physical and theory-based training, including the law, powers of arrest, the Criminal Code, provincial statutes, courtroom pro-

Plan highlights need for land Morning Star Staff
The search is on for industrial land. The City of Vernon and Regional District of North Okanagan are currently developing a regional employment lands action plan process. “It is intended to create realistic short, medium and long-term solutions, Anthony Kittel options and opportunities that will provide guidance on how to increase the North Okanagan’s supply of market-ready
employment land,” said Anthony Kittel, RDNO’s regional growth strategy co-ordinator. “These actions can be considered within local, regional and provincial projects and plans. As well, this plan will explore infrastructure and servicing opportunities for subregional employment clusters.” The process has included local municipalities and electoral areas, and the Splatsin First Nation and the Okanagan Indian Band will be invited to participate within the development of the plan. “Phase one of the action plan will begin in August with a review past employment lands inventories, economic development initiatives, infrastructure and com-
munity planning documents, interviews with key stakeholders and the preparation of potential opportunities and a list of employment land criteria for discussion by the technical committee in September,” said Kittel. The plan, which should be completed by March 31, will include a land analysis and implementation strategy. “Plan recommendations will help to strengthen, diversify and enhance the regional economy,” said Kittel. “Through the plan’s collaborative process, action items will be identified for municipalities and the regional district to take on together as well as work on individually.”

A Coldstream business owner claims she is unfairly being drowned in charges for a fire hydrant on her land, while others are getting a break. Barb Mitchell, owner of Highlands Golf Course, installed a hydrant on her property as per requirements when the clubhouse was constructed. But the cost of having a hydrant on her property is surging annually. The tax started out in 2002 as $225, last year it was $475 and in 2014 it has climbed to $560. Meanwhile Mitchell claims that Greater Vernon Water charges far less for ‘public’ hydrants. “How fair is it that Greater Vernon Water charges $133 annually for each public hydrant and they charge me $560?” Mitchell asked Coldstream council Monday. Despite being on private property, Mitchell says the fire department will use the hydrant if needed to fight a nearby fire. “The Highlands Golf fire hydrant is indeed part of Coldstream infrastructure regardless who owns it.”

Coldstream is eager to examine the issue and will be bringing it up at a future Greater Vernon Advisory Committee meeting. “We should re-examine the rate charged to private hydrants,” said Coun. Maria Besso. While Mitchell says she would happily pay the same $133 rate for a public hydrant, Coldstream administration has indicated that there are no such charges. “GVW owns the hydrants with the local municipality paying for yearly maintenance of the hydrants,” said Michael Baker, Coldstream’s director of engineering services, in a report. “There are no annual fees paid by member municipalities for the public fire hydrants.”

Becker to run with the Lopes
Top teams draw
ROGER KNOX
The top two teams in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 2, the Do-Itt Drywall Mud Sharks and the OTC/ Sunterra Sistas, battled to a 2-2 draw Thursday night at Marshall Field #1. Tania Wirachowsky opened it up for the Sistas (11-1-1) on a pass from Deanna Baker to cut the Mud Sharks (112-1) lead in half. With 10 minutes left in the game, Baker set up Andrea Zubot to score the equalizer.

Searra Becker loves volleyball. Lamar (Col.) Community College loves volleyball and Becker. The junior college with the nickname Running Lopes, located in Lamar (population 7,800), has made the 18-year-old Becker its first-ever Canadian recruit. “I am extremely honoured to be the first Canadian to play for Lamar,” said Becker, a five-foot-10, left or right side power hitter who leaves for the junior college at the end of the month. “I’m very excited for this opportunity.” LCC Runnin’ Lopes’ head coach Brandon Stephenson is fairly new to the school and doesn’t seem bothered by what his players’ passport reads. “For me it’s not a big deal that she is the first Canadian. I have worked with Canadians at previous schools and they bring a different mentality to the team. They grew up differently, played on different teams and attended different camps than our U.S. girls,” said Stephenson. Becker overcame a serious ankle injury in her final year of high school to lead the Vernon Panthers to seventh place in the provincial championships, just one week after getting an air cast off her injured ankle, which she wore for five weeks. She got noticed by Stephenson through a U.S.-based recruiting website where Becker could post her profile, stats and video of her in action. “We saw her film on a recruitment site and we were very impressed with the diversity in her game,” said Stephenson. After a bunch of e-mails and phone calls back and forth, Becker was sold on little Lamar, located two hours southeast of Denver in the Arkansas River valley, and serves as Colorado’s industrial and retail center for the southeastern region. “Lamar’s a nice small town which is what I wanted when it came to going to college,” said Becker, though she admits the ankle injury left her wondering about not where she would play college ball but if. “When I got injured, I didn’t know what I was going to do, I didn’t know if I would still be able to play in my first college season. To be honest, it felt like my world was crashing down,” said Becker. After some intense physiotherapy with Dason Starling at Damini Physiotherapy and Sports Injury, Becker was able to return to the Panthers, though she admits her vertical is not what it was before the injury. Her love of volleyball came at a young age. She would shag volleyballs in Grades 4 and 5 for the Grade 6 and 7 teams at Silver Star Elementary. Becker started playing club volleyball in Grade 5 and played two age groups up. “That’s when I started to get really serious about volleyball and I’ve been serious about it ever since,” said Becker, employed this summer at Red Robin. Asked to list her strengths, Becker said she has good court sense and is coachable. Her coach in high school was her dad, Keith who, along with mom Rhonda, has supported Becker in her volleyball aspirations. “My family has been very supportive,” she said. “They always try to make every game that they can. Practice-wise, my dad has always pushed me to do

Searra Becker of VSS Panthers will play volleyball for the Lamar Community College Runnin’ Lopes this fall in Colorado. the best I can and when I was slacking off, he’d push me harder which was awesome. “He knew what my breaking point was. He would never push me to that breaking point but he’d push me to keep going.” Becker plans to spend her two seasons at Lamar playing volleyball and studying sports and fitness management. The Lopes finished 20-13 last year in the Region IX of the National Junior College Athletic Association. Players report to camp in a week with two-a-day workouts starting Aug. 11. They host their first tournament Aug. 22 and games are webcasted online. Lamar athletics are named after the second fastest land animal in the world—the antelope. Antelopes can hit speeds of 70 mph. They’re able to accomplish this feat thanks to their oversized lungs and heart. The Runnin’ Lopes of LCC have the heart, ability, and competitive spirit to compete with the best.
Canadians two wins from provincial title Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Kal Tire Canadians needed a win over the North Delta Blue Jays Saturday to play in today’s semifinals at the B.C. Pee Wee AA Baseball Championships at Thompson Park in Port Coquitlam. Vernon was 2-1 heading into a Saturday afternoon round-robin game with the Jays. After opening the 10-team tournament with a win over the hosts Thursday morning, the Canadians lost 4-2 to the Campbell River Tyees that afternoon and outlasted the Kelowna Cubs 8-6 in a scorching Friday matinee. Leftfielder Falcon Thomas took MVP against Kelowna, going 3-for-3 with a walk and a two-run
homer which gave the C’s a 6-5 lead in the top of the sixth inning. He finished with three RBI. Chris McIntosh went three innings before being relieved by Brady Beacom, who helped his own cause by going 2-for-4 with two runs. Beacom smacked a sharp single to get on base before Thomas stroked his dinger. “The bottom half of our header really came up big for us,” said Vernon head coach Mark Batchelor, who was ecstatic with his club’s defence. Third baseman Noah Foufoulas backhanded a hard grounder on one bounce and threw out the batter at first base. Shortstop Carter Morris recorded an unassisted double play and then in the sixth, dove deep in
the six hole to stab a hot grounder and throw the runner out by a step, with Ryan Gamage stretching hard to make the catch at first. Catcher Chase Batchelor threw out one runner trying to swipe second, while going 1-for-2 while getting plunked twice. Kal Tire ran into a solid pitcher against Campbell River. “We made a lot of good contact, but we hit it right at them,” said coach Batchelor. “We hit a lot of fly balls that normally would have dropped in for singles.” Batchelor pitched 5 2/3 innings to take MVP with Gamage earning the final four outs. Batchelor, Beacom and Gamage were the only C’s to manage hits.
The Chick Kickers stopped the Centreline Attack 7-3 at MacDonald Park. The Attack (3-12) broke the goose egg in the second half with three goals from Monika Jatel, Amber Miller and Jodi Hawthorne.
Stars spank Kelowna
Meanwhile, Nigel Clack and Wolfgang Bopp each supplied hat tricks as the Silver Stars earned a 6-1 win over Kelowna #1 in Okanagan Men’s 55+ Soccer League play Thursday night at MacDonald Park. Steve Coombs anchored the defence and missed the net on three quality chances as the first-place Stars improved to 13-2-2. Kelowna is 3-13-1. Vernon Kal Tire and Winfield battled to a 1-1 draw at Reiswig Park in Lake Country. Tibor Hymer caught Kal Tire keeper Felix Heinrich off his line and went top shelf for Winfield early in the second half. Defender Rob Parkin converted a penalty kick past Peter Butler near 77 minutes. The PK was awarded after Butler took down winger Terry Lowe on the right side of the 18. Kal Tire is fifth at 6-7-3, while the Lakers are third at 8-4-5.

There has been a change to the female minor hockey program for the 2014-15 season. Greater Vernon Minor Hockey Association will host the Thompson Okanagan Lakers Female Midget AAA Hockey Club this season. Open tryouts are Aug. 8-10 at the Priest Valley Arena. Registration goes Friday at 5 p.m. followed by fitness testing and a parent/player meeting. The ice session goes from 8-9:30 p.m. Tryouts for the regional Rep team go all day Saturday and Sunday morning. “We are also doing a ‘Come Try It’ female hockey for two age groups the same weekend,” said director Arnie Head of Vernon. Players of all ages and skill events are urged to attend the free skills development sessions. There will be lots of door prizes and fun. Players born from 2003-’08 will hit the ice from 9-10:15 a.m., while players born from 19972002 will practise from noon-1:15 p.m. Players from Lumby, Armstrong, Enderby, Salmon Arm, Sicamous and Revelstoke are wel-
come to attend. Salmon Arm will operate a Midget A rep team, while area players wishing to play rec may join a Bantam/Midget or Pee Wee female team in Vernon. Added Head: “The Female Midget AAA League was initiated in the 2007-2008 season in response to the membership’s desire to provide an opportunity for elite female hockey players to come together on zone teams to challenge other elite Female Midget teams. “Kelowna declined to continue to support the team and after several meetings with surrounding associations, GVMHA made the decision to apply and were granted this team. Newly named the Thompson – Okanagan Lakers, GVMHA will be the host association for the 2014/2015 season. Mark Henderson was named coach and B.C. Hockey supported the team name change and color (blue and white jerseys) change.” For further information, call Arnie at 250306-2583 or email him at gvmhafemalehockey@ hotmail.com.
Pieper picks up first WLA win Morning Star Staff
Two years ago, Chad Pieper had a rush trying out for the National Lacrosse League Philadelphia Wings. This week, the 36-year-old popular goaltender played half a game making his debut with the Senior A Western Lacrosse Association Langley Thunder, 10-8 winners over the Nanaimo Timbermen. “They called me up late Monday night so I took the afternoon off work and my parents also came down,” said Pieper, of the Wednesday night game at the Langley Events Centre. “We got stuck in traffic and I was almost late for the game. They told me they were going to give me some floor time, but I was thinking maybe 10-15 minutes in the third if the game wasn’t close.” Instead, Vernon Tiger grad Brodie MacDonald, 24, originally drafted by the Wings, started and recorded nine saves on 10 shots in almost 27 minutes of floor time. Pieper made 17 saves, while allowing seven goals, earning the win.
“I went in when we were up 4-1 or 3-1. I let in three power play goals, two extra attacker goals, one 4-on-4, and one even strength. I stopped three or four breakaways, It was a lot of fun. It was nice of them to put me in for that much time.” Pieper backstopped the Senior C Shamrocks to the Okanagan final against the Kelowna Raiders this year. He joked: “If I had their (Langley’s) defence, we would never lose a game in Armstrong.” The Thunder finished the regular season at 7-11. Playoffs start next week. Former Armstrong Shamrock runner, Brett Hawrys missed a chance to close out the B.C Junior A Lacrosse League title Friday night. The New Westminster Salmonbellies clipped the Coquitlam Adanacs 13-6 in Game 6 at the Coquitlam Sports Centre. Hawrys sniped his first goal of the series and added an assist. Game 7 goes tomorrow night at Queens Park Arena in New Westminister. The winner advances to the Junior A Provincials.

Chamber rallies behind trades plan
Special GreetinG
Morning Star Staff
armstrong/spallumcheen chamber of commerce photo
A tourist from Japan leaves a message on the board at the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce’s visitor centre. The centre has assisted visitors from across Canada and around the world so far this summer.
The B.C. Chamber of Commerce is welcoming new trades training capacity delivered under B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint. The provincial government has announced it will fund 272 new trades training seats at B.C. Institute of Technology this fall. “As B.C. gears up for major northern development and the unprecedented LNG opportunity, there’s no time to lose in training British Columbians,” said John Winter, B.C. chamber president and chief executive officer. “We’re very pleased to see government taking needed action on funding trades-training capacity and hope to see further similar announcements at other vocational schools around B.C.” Winter commended government for taking swift action under its Skills for Jobs Blueprint.
“We encourage employers to invest in youth.” — John Winter
“The blueprint presents a lot of great ideas for more closely tailoring training opportunities to B.C.’s job market, but its success depends on the action it delivers,” he said. “We’re encouraged to see the government taking swift action to deliver on those ideas.” As the provincial government steps up the investment in trades training, Winter is encouraging B.C.’s business community to throw its weight behind needed apprenticeship programs. “We encourage B.C. employers to invest today in B.C. youth by helping grow apprenticeship opportunities.” BCIT will receive
$1.35 million from the government, with $798,000 to fund the additional 272 seats and $553,000 in operating funds for minor equipment. The additional seats include: 32 steam/pipefitter apprenticeship seats. 32 welder foundation seats. 16 crane operator apprenticeship seats. 32 electrician foundation seats. 32 electrician apprenticeship seats. 32 ironworker apprenticeship seats. 16 heavy duty equipment mechanic foundation seats. 80 heavy duty equipment mechanic apprenticeship seats.
Report highlights labour shortage across Canada Morning Star Staff
The latest Help Wanted report from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business clearly shows that when employers have open jobs, they try to attract talent by raising wages, yet severe labour shortages persist. This disproves a common belief that businesses with labour shortages simply need to pay higher wages to attract staff. “Employers with at least one longTed Mallett term job vacancy expect to increase wages by significantly more than do employers without vacancies,” said Ted Mallett, CFIB’s chief economist and vice-president. “This differential exists across all provinces and industries, and interestingly, is most pronounced in the hospitality sector.”
Most businesses in the hospitality and retail sectors were recently excluded from using the temporary foreign worker program (TFWP) to address severe labour shortages. Employment Minister Jason Kenney has gone so far as to lecture employers that all they need to do is raise wages to attract local Canadian talent. These latest findings, based on CFIB data from 2009 to 2014, suggest they are already doing so. “This is remarkable labour market data that no one, not even the government has gathered,” said CFIB president Dan Kelly. “We think this merits the government taking a fresh look at the TFWP and other options like using the permanent immigration system to help employers that are desperate for workers, and just can’t attract the staff they need locally.” The latest job vacancy numbers for the first quarter remained fairly stable, with about 312,000 full and part-time jobs remaining unfilled, a rate of 2.6 per cent.
The quarterly report is based on surveys of CFIB members on economic and business conditions, including labour shortages. Job vacancies in the report are defined as openings that remain unfilled for at least four months because business owners have been unable to find suitable employees. The smallest businesses (between one and 19 employees) continue to bear the brunt of labour shortages, with a vacancy rate of 4.1 per cent. Broken down by province, the vacancy rate was once again highest in Alberta (3.8 per cent) and Saskatchewan (3.6) in the first quarter. British Columbia (2.8) had the biggest increase in the quarter. Meanwhile, Manitoba (2.7), Newfoundland and Labrador (2.6) and Quebec continued to hover around the national average. The lowest vacancy rates were in Ontario (2.2) and the Maritimes (around two).

On top of this, he has an inflated expectation of what he should be paid, which makes it even more difficult for him to find employment. He has years of experience that would serve him well in the workforce. He has an excellent work ethic and would be an asset to any company if he had the skills and abilities they require.

What they don’t realize is that older adults have been going back to school for years. How many times have we read articles about senior citizens graduating from college or university? During recent convocation ceremonies, I noticed many significantly older adults (50 plus – both female and male) receiving certificates from Okanagan College. These certificates ranged from office administration to

Employees, clients, visitors, and the community around Community Futures North Okanagan will have a better chance of surviving a cardiac arrest because of a newly installed automated external defibrillator. The AED is a part of Community Futures’ new public access defibrillation program, which trains company volunteers to recognize a cardiac emergency and use the device to shock the heart into a regular rhythm. “We want to be sure we can effectively respond to any medical emergency that happens on our property,” said Norm Metcalf, general manager. According to St. John Ambulance, between 40,000 to 45,000 Canadians of all ages experience cardiac arrest each year, and the Heart and Stroke Foundation says 80 per cent of those cases occur outside of the hospital. Sudden cardiac arrest is a condition when the heart has stopped pumping blood (containing oxygen and nutrients) to the body. This condition is mainly caused by an irregular heart rhythm. The odds of surviving a sudden cardiac arrest can increase to around 70 per cent when early CPR is used in conjunction with an AED in the first few minutes. For every minute that the AED is delayed, the chance of survival for someone with sudden car-

diac arrest decreases by 10 per cent. The simple-to-use AED can tell when a heart stops beating effectively and delivers an electric shock to help restart the heart. Early defibrillation, combined with early CPR, can improve cardiac arrest survival rates by up to 50 per cent or more. Concern about being able to ensure quick defibrillation caused Community Futures to set up a defibrillation program with their AED. “We have a large employee population, work with many clients in our facility and are in a central location in the community, so we worked with St. John Ambulance to set up our program,” said Metcalf. “Vernon is a typical community with limited access to AEDs and more common access to AEDs would reduce the death rate from sudden cardiac arrest.”

Kopps celebrate 60 years Celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary, Anton and Anne Kopp emigrated from Czechoslovakia in 1938, settling in the small, tight-knit community of Tomslake, B.C., 30 km south of Dawson Creek. Anton held various jobs as a very young man, working as a lumberjack to lovingly support his mother, Theresia. He then worked as a salesman in the Macleod’s store and quickly advanced to store manager. Anne spent many happy hours in her one-room school house, teaching her students in Arras, Tomslake, Kimberley and Dawson Creek. After courting Anne for four years, Anton married her Aug. 7, 1954. After moving to Vernon in 1969, Anton and Anne have settled in the Okanagan, where they have raised their six

Fixing the GIS glitch
or those of you who are fortunate enough to not need to know what GIS is, let me enlighten you. The Guaranteed Income Supplement is a federal benefit provided for Old Age Security (OAS) recipients who have a low income (under $16,944 for a single person) and are living in Canada. You are eligible for this benefit if you are a legal resident of Canada, you are receiving an Old Age Security Pension and your annual income Pat Black (or in the case of a couple, your combined income) is lower than the maximum annual income determined by Service Canada. Your income amount reported on your income tax return determines if you will receive or continue to receive GIS. A case in point would be any single senior who lived primarily on government pensions. In this case someone whose total annual income was derived from Canadian Pension Plan and amounted to about $12,000 a year would be eligible to receive OAS of $558.71 plus GIS of $205.24 amounting to a monthly sum of $763.95. Their total monthly income from all government pensions
personal best
would be approximately $1,764 or a net income of $21,168 per year. In February of this year Workopolis, a prominent Canadian job recruitment centre, reported that the average wage for Canadian employees is currently $928 per week – or just about $48,250 a year. And this marks an increase of 2.5 per cent or roughly $1,000 more than we were making at the start of 2013. Looking at the comparisons in income amounts it becomes apparent that seniors, almost more than a quarter million, are living below the poverty line. Being dependent on your pension income for rent, food, utilities, medication is a fact of life and when that income fails to arrive, panic ensues. That is what is happening to many seniors who although they filed their income tax on time have been cut off their GIS. Apparently our computerized government does not have the capacity to transfer the information reported on income tax to the GIS people in a timely manner so that thousands of seniors are left without the funds to pay rent, utilities, buy groceries or medications. The GIS people blame the income tax department for not getting the information to them and the income tax department says they are overloaded and are doing the best. In the meantime seniors are being threatened with evic-

tion, utilities cut off or they cannot buy food or their medications. The most vulnerable of our citizens are panicking and are at risk and the income tax people are sorry and hopefully may be able to fix this sometime in August or September. I am totally stunned at this response when it is given. This situation is also being blamed on the virus that closed down the income tax’s electronic centre in April for a week, but this situation has been going on now for at least five years to my knowledge, with many seniors and advocates pleading for change and better transmission of information but who is listening? It doesn’t seem to be important; it is only those seniors bitching again. However there is a reprieve if you call up your Member of Parliament’s office. Colin Mayes’ assistant can put in a request to expedite your reinstatement to GIS and have a payment speeded up if you are in dire need. What a laugh this is when anyone on GIS is always in dire need. Anyway, this is one answer to fix this ongoing problem with a government who obviously doesn’t care about the welfare of seniors. Colin Mayes’ office number is 250-260-5020. If you have any comments or questions call 250-542-7928 or e-mail me at blackmail1@telus.net

Zoning Text (Dock and Boatlift Regulations) Amendment Bylaw Number 5507, 2014 Applicant: City of Vernon Purpose:
To amend Zoning Bylaw #5000 by deleting “Section 5.13 Dock and Boatlift Regulations” and “Section 12.6 W1: Recreational Water Use”. The construction of docks, boatlifts and wharfs is governed by provincial regulations and therefore, regulations contained in the City’s Zoning Bylaw #5000 are not necessary. Similarly, the City has no jurisdiction over the lake surface therefore, it is not necessary to include the W1 zoning district in Zoning Bylaw #5000.
Enquiries relative to the above proposed bylaw should be directed to the Planning Department, located at the Community Services Building, 3001 - 32nd Avenue, Vernon, B.C. or by calling 250-550-3634.

Any correspondence relating to this application can be delivered to the Corporate Officer, City of Vernon, 3400 - 30th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 5E6 or by sending an email to phearings@vernon.ca. All correspondence and petitions received between August 3, 2014 (the date of notification) and 3:00 p.m. on Monday, August 11, 2014 shall be copied and circulated to the members of City Council for consideration before the Public Hearing. Any submissions received after 3:00 p.m. on Monday, August 11, 2014 will not be accepted. Correspondence and emails must include your name and civic address. You may present your verbal submissions and speaking notes at the Public Hearing. If you are unable to attend, you may appoint an agent to act on your behalf.

HEARTBURN Proper Digestion Without the Burn Suffering from frequent heartburn? Heartburn is not always a symptom of having too much acid in your stomach, but rather not having adequate amounts of the proper enzymes. The acid in our stomachs help breakdown and process nutrients from food. When your digestive system is not able to properly break down food, it begins to churn the contents of your stomach more vigorously, often resulting in heartburn. Many common heartburn aids block the production of acid, which can decrease mineral and nutrient absorption, potentially leading to serious health concerns. Try these heartburn tips to soothe the burn and increase nutrient absorption: Digestive Enzymes A full spectrum digestive enzyme contains an enzyme to help break down all food types; fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. When taken before a meal, it aids in the proper breakdown of nutrients, allowing for increased absorption and ease of digestion.
Live well. Live organic.
Probiotics Bacterial overgrowth can be a contributing factor to frequent heartburn. Also, low stomach acid increases the risk of harmful bacteria, such as H. pylori. Taking a daily probiotic helps restore a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria, while protecting against potentially harmful bacteria.

Royal Canadian Legion honours veteran It’s been 70 years of continuous membership for Second World War vet Earl Borman, who served in elite force, the Royal Canadian Regiment Cara Brady Morning Star Staff
It’s an honour few Canadians earn. Earl Borman was presented with a medal commemorating 70 years of continuous membership in the Royal Canadian Legion earlier this year. “I was surprised to learn that I’m one of 39 people in B.C. who have 70 years Legion service,” said Borman, who will be 94 Sept. 25. “I’m proud of the Legion and the work it does and that I can be a part of it. Our dues go to help servicemen, I’ve had help from them myself, and the Legion does a lot of service in the community for a lot of people.” He remembers how he rode his bike 105 miles from Kitchener to Collingwood, Ont. for a job when he was 15, then rode back in July 1940 to join the Royal Canadian Army. After training in Canada he went to England, where he got the tattoo that still reads, Love Mother. Borman was once on guard duty at the palace in England when King George VI was inspecting the troops. The king noticed Borman. “He pulled me out of line and asked how old I was, if I was old enough to serve, and then turned to my commanding officer and told him to send home for my birth certificate. I guess that was done if the king said it should be.” Borman was already an excellent shot from years of hunting in Ontario and he joined the Royal Canadian Regiment, an elite force which was sent to fight in Sicily and Italy with the British Eighth Army. The Royal Canadian Regiment still exists as an elite peace time regiment. “We were sent out on night patrol as sharpshooters with escape supplies if we needed them.” Borman has the map of the area, printed
Earl Borman as a serviceman in Royal Canadian Regiment, Royal Canadian Army, 1940-45. on silk so it could fold small, and some German and French money, all in a tin marked “tea.” He also still has his army dog tags (identification). His photos are fascinating. One shows him with comrades, resting after battle and talking to General Montgomery. “Our biggest battle was in Ortona. I’m proud that I was made a sergeant on the field there on Dec. 22, 1943. It showed that I was a leader.” The fighting was fierce and emotional in many ways. “We’d get up to the enemy machine guns and find there were 13 or 14-year-old German kids there. They had no idea what they were doing and sometimes we’d just let them run away. I was sniper for one day, but it was different from shooting in battle. I couldn’t shoot someone like that. I thought it would make me a killer.” Borman has medals and ribbons for his participation in the Italian Campaign and a 2004 Rome Honours Canadian Italian Campaign marking his part in the liberation of Rome June 4, 1944. He joined the Royal Canadian Legion in 1944 at the urging of the man, a Boer War veteran, who would later be his father-in-law. “The Legion has meant a lot to me over the years. I used to go every day after work in Kitchener,” said Borman, who delivered mail there for 33 years. “And after I moved to Vernon in 1984, I went every day until a year

But it’s not the same since there are not many guys who remember what it was like what we went through. I’ve got nobody to share the memories. “On Remembrance Day, I think about everyone who served our country everywhere at all times and those who didn’t come back and those who came back and helped build up the country.” Borman has the piece of shrapnel that hit him in the back and resulted in an honour-
able discharge early in 1945 and he returned home in September 1945 to marry his childhood sweetheart. He has three children, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren with another on the way. Editor’s note: There will be a number of commemorative activities across the country marking the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War Aug. 4, 1914 and the 75th anniversary of the start of the Second World War September 1939.

Pianist performs works by Roffredo Caetani Acclaimed Italian pianist Alessandra Ammara plays Vernon concert dedicated to the Caetani legacy Morning Star Staff
It has been 20 years since Vernon artist, teacher and patron of the arts Sveva Caetani died, leaving her estate and legacy to the community. On Wednesday, Italian pianist Alessandra Ammara performs in Vernon to remember that legacy and also raise funds for Sveva’s former home, now the Caetani Cultural Centre, which features artist residences, residencies, studios, as well as numerous community cultural activities. This special fundraising concert will feature compositions from the late Roffredo Caetani (1871 to 1961), who was Sveva’s uncle, the Prince of Bassett and the last Duke of Sermoneta. In 2013, Ammara released an entire album featuring some of Roffredo Caetani’s most well-known compositions. “The opportunity presented itself to the Caetani society earlier this year to book Alessandra for a concert here in Vernon that would feature the compositions of Sveva’s uncle, Roffredo,” said Caetani centre music coordinator Andrew Mercer. “To commemorate the 20th anniversary of Sveva’s death, we wanted to do something special to celebrate Sveva and the bequest of the Caetani house to the City of Vernon.” Ammara, who will also be performing concerts in Toronto, Calgary and Invermere, is visiting Vernon for a couple of days before her concert at the Performing Arts Centre. Along with the concert, several pieces of Sveva’s art work will be on display in the Performing Arts Centre. Proceeds from the concert will go towards capital improvements and increased programming at the Caetani centre.

Pianist Alessandra Ammara is in Vernon Wednesday to perform works by the uncle of the late Sveva Caetani, whose legacy is being recognized 20 years after her death in Vernon.

Honens International Piano Competition in Calgary. Ammara’s concert schedule is continuously growing. She has performed throughout Europe, Asia and North America. Notable concert highlights include at Musikverein in Vienna, Festspielhaus in Salzburg, Grosses Philharmonie in Berlin, Salle Cortot in Paris, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Seoul Art Center, Gasteig in Munich, Jack Singer Hall in Calgary, Bass Hall in Fort Worth and Meridian Center in Washington. She has entertained audiences as a soloist with orchestras such as Wiener Symphoniker, Berliner Symphoniker, Orchestra Sinfonica della Rai, Calgary Philharmonic, and the Cape Town Philharmonic, and with conductors such as Fabio Luisi, Georg Pehlivanian, Roberto Minczuk and Bernard Labadie. Ammara has also collaborated with many great interpreters, including Alban Gerhardt, Leonard Elschenbroich, Roberto Fabbriciani, Anton Kuerti, the Takacs Quartet and the Sine Nomine Quartet. Since 1999, she has toured in a piano duo with her husband Roberto Prosseda. Ammara’s discography begun in 2001 with a CD for the Canadian label Arktos, which included music by Debussy, Scriabin and Chopin. Together, with some of the greatest pianists in the world, she recorded the new complete Chopin edition produced by Brilliant Classics. Since 2008, Ammara has recorded for the German label, Arts. Her five Arts recordings include Chopin Ballades, two Schumann albums (Carnaval, Davidsbundlertanze, Album for the Young), the world premiere recording of Scelsi Preludes and a Ravel album (Miroirs, Gaspard de la Nuit). In 2013, Brilliant Classics released Ammara’s first commercial recording of Roffredo Caetani’s piano music. Ammara takes the stage at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the show can be purchased at the Ticket Seller box office by calling 250-5497469 or online at www.ticketseller.ca.

act Blackjack Billy is composed of Rob Blackledge (vocals, guitar), Noll Billings (vocals), Jeff Coplan (electric guitar), Patrick Cornell (bass guitar) and Brad Cummings (drums). The boys describe their music as “redneck rock,” and debut single, The Booze Cruise, was independently released in March 2013. Their new single, Got a Feeling, is out now on iTunes and all digital outlets. Tickets for the Bands on the Run Tour at Kal Tire Place Dec. 13 are now available and can be purchased at www.ticketseller.ca or by calling 250-549-7469.

Move over Nikita, here comes Lucy
L
lucy
ucy (Scarlett Johansson) is an unwilling drug mule. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time and now she is supposed to fly home with plastic bags containing a new synthetic drug hidden in her stomach. When one of those bags opens and its contents spill into her blood stream, rather than dying, Lucy slowly develops the ability to use 100 per cent of her brain’s capacity. Seeking the help of Professor Norman,
Reel Reviews
Taylor and Howe
(Morgan Freeman), famous for his study of human intelligence, Lucy is able share the wealth of her knowledge, although we may not understand it yet. We say, “It’s a bit of mind trip.” TAYLOR: I’m really hoping that Mr. Howe hates this
movie, because I think I loved it. Lucy might be a love/hate kind of film. Yeah, it’s a bit of a silly premise, especially if one considers actual science. Lucy is also heavily reliant on its premise. Not a lot happens in the film, if you consider the plot point by point: She gets away from the bad guys, they look for her, they find each other and chase each other, etc. What I liked about this film is precisely what others hated, bravado. It’s the same thing that makes Lucy better than Limitless,
a very similar 2011 movie where Bradley Cooper takes a drug that gives him the same brain power. Lucy is an artful, strange and fun film. HOWE: I think hate is too strong of a word here, Mr. Taylor. I just found it a little bland. For a movie like this you can’t squeeze it into one hour, 30 minutes. I know we’ve complained in the past about movies going on a bit, but with Lucy it would have helped to have been longer. There’s too much information that could
have been added to get a really good result out of something like this, but I feel they spent more money and time on the special effects than the story itself. I’m surprised they didn’t make it in 3D to cash in a little more. TAYLOR: I do agree with you that there should have been more. I didn’t want it to end. I wanted Lucy’s powers to continue to grow, or at least for her to keep postulating
on unanswerable questions. I think your reference to the blandness in the film is caused by a marked disinterest in the metaphysical and that is fair. The film veils its philosophy in metaphor, but other films like this don’t even attempt revelation. In Limitless, Bradley Cooper becomes a stock broker: booooring.

Cherryville has Roots and Beets Morning Star Staff
As the name suggests, Cherryville’s Roots and Beets Festival is a celebration of the harvest, but it is also a celebration of creativity. Hosted by the Cherryville Artisans Association, Saturday’s event is a celebration of the harvest in creative ways, said association president Helen Kovacs. “We would like to invite everyone to come participate and enjoy all that Cherryville has to offer,” she said. Artists will be on site demonstrating hot glass bead making and weaving. There will also be a roving portrait sketching artist and the Mountain Kid’s Creation Fort will offer kids crafts all day. The local Society for Creative Anachronism will have a medieval display as well as kids crafts and live sparring demonstrations, and the festival will also feature a healing arts area, farmers’ market, ven-

Familiar faces to play two shows Morning Star Staff
Two former area residents are back in town next weekend to perform music from the Prairies along with songs from this great swath of land we call Canada. Saskia Overbeek and Darrel Delaronde, who call themselves The Great Plains, are certainly no strangers to the North Okanagan, as they have lived in Vernon and have played music up and down every highway and byway in the Okanagan with their delightful, all-Canadian show they call Song of the Prairies. “Once a year, whether we need it or not, we come to Vernon just because we are homesick for our friends and it still feels so much like home even though we moved to the West Coast,” said Overbeek. The duo will perform a heartwarming blend of folk music with tales about miners, Prairie elevators, blue birds, war brides, Louis Riel, patchwork quilts, David Thompson and more for their concerts at Armstrong’s Valley First Music in the Park Friday, Aug. 8 and at Friesen’s Country Tyme Café in Coldstream Saturday, Aug. 9. “This is true Canadiana; real songs drenched in our culture and heritage delivered in a comfortable highly skilled set with oodles of self-poking humour,” said Dutch-born artist Overbeek, whose partner Delaronde is Métis. “(There will be) a taste of Celtic, a dab of bluegrass, and lots of engaging stories wrapped around extremely ear-warming melodies.” The duo is also known to break into Swiss yodeling, or sing in Gaelic, Spanish, Dutch, German or French. Awarded top folk/ roots album in Holland; artist, album, and songwriter of the year from the Saskatchewan Country Music Association, The Great Plains have toured extensively with cowboy crooner Gary Fjellgaard for the last 10 years and occasionally with folk legend Valdy. “(We have) opened for too many Juno award

The Great Plains take the stage at Armstrong’s
Memorial Park, Friday at 7 p.m. (Donations will be accepted for the food bank). Their show at Friesen’s Country Tyme Café is Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Tickets and info are at Friesen’s or call 250-549-3587.
Live Well
HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist TOM NOLAN
During allergy season, it’s good to remember that pollen is very sticky. It adheres to eyelashes and hair on the bodies. Taking a shower at night is a good way to wash away the pollen. The hairs in our noses also has pollen stuck to it so rinsing your nasal passages is also a good idea. Keeping a close watch on your sodium intake? Anything that fizzes can have high sodium levels. If you want to be sure, read the nutritional labels. The pure liquid nicotine in e-cigarettes is a hazard to children. Since e-cigarettes began being marketed in the U.S. a couple of years ago, poison control centres have seen more poisonings of young children who have ingested the contents of e-cigarettes. Health Canada hasn’t legalized this product in Canada and its slowness to make a decision is well-founded and needs more assurance of safety. Pharmacists and doctors are aware that many people don’t take their prescribed medication as ordered. This can be detrimental to people’s health. A study done in England recently looked at people taking blood pressure (BP) medication found that 25% were not taking their blood pressure meds as prescribed. Since we usually can’t “feel” high blood pressure, damage is being done when meds are missed. Take your medications as your doctor orders … especially BP medications. Helping you understand how to help you get the most out of your medications is the primary job of our pharmacists. It’s important to us.

IMPLANT SUPPORTED DENTURE
Frank and Ernest
Are loose dentures a problem for you? If your dentures shift while chewing or talking and you are tired of those embarrasing moments, consider dental implants for stabilization.
Moderately Confused
Imagine your denture snapping into place, feeling solid and secure. Often a new denture is not necessary. Your existing denture can be made to fit your new implants.
Bridge by Phillip Alder DO IT IMMEDIATELY, IF NOT SOONER Alfred Hitchcock said, “I am a typed director. If I made ‘Cinderella,’ the audience would immediately be looking for a body in the coach.” Which one of the ugly stepsisters would it be? It couldn’t be Cinderella; you cannot kill off the heroine. In most bridge deals, declarer must start on his campaign immediately. If he waffles early, his contract will die. How should South play in this four-heart contract after West leads the diamond queen? Many Norths would have jumped straight to four hearts. “Partner, we had 10 trumps, so I had to bid to the 10-trick level as advocated
by the Law of Total tricks.” I am not fond of that bid, especially in an uncontested auction, with a balanced hand containing so many losers. South has four losers: two spades, one heart and one club. But he has 10 winners: one spade, five hearts, two diamonds and two clubs. So it will be tempting to take the first trick and play a trump. However, East will win and shift to the club queen. Then the defenders can defeat the contract. Declarer must establish his spade trick immediately, so that he can dispose of his club loser. At trick two, South leads his spade queen. East wins with his king and switches to the club queen. Declarer carefully wins with
his ace and plays the spade 10. When in dummy with the club king, South discards his last club on the spade jack. Then West will wonder how he might have found a club lead (or a heart lead with East’s shifting to the club queen), which would have given the defense the edge.

In perpetuity at Pere Lachaise karoline cullen Special To The Morning Star
FRANCE - I hear a bell. Its persistent peal floats over the trees and echoes off the stones. “Does that ringing mean something?” I ask. My friend starts walking, saying over her shoulder “It’s time to go. We don’t want to get locked in!” “Definitely not.” I think to myself. Visiting the City of the Dead, as Paris’ largest cemetery Père Lachaise is known, on a sun dappled afternoon is one thing. Being trapped behind the enormous entrance gates for the night is quite another. When the cemetery was established in 1804 by Napoleon I, it was well outside the city walls. Today, the 109-acre site is a fiveminute walk from my friend’s apartment in the 20th Arrondisement and a favourite destination for a peaceful, contemplative saunter. As 19th century novelist Honoré Balzac said, “I rarely go out, but when I do wander, I go to cheer myself up in Père Lachaise.” He is also buried here. Some clever 19th century marketing of the perpetual concessions for plots was necessary to attract occupants. As the land was once owned by Father Francois d’Aix de la Chaise, the Jesuit sounding Père Lachaise was chosen as the cemetery’s name. Remains of some famous dead were relocated for some caché. Twelfth century ill-fated lovers Abélard and Héloise are in a spectacular neo-Gothic tomb in the oldest section. In 1817, the bones of dramatist Molière and writer La Fontaine were moved here as was Louise de Lorraine, widow of King Henri III. Famous or rich or royal or not, or if you died in Paris, a Père Lachaise plot could be yours. Tree lined cobblestone lanes meander amongst thousands of tombs. Some are simple, others grandiose, many in varying degrees of disrepair. Headstones tilt, crypt roofs collapse and gates rust. A jumble of worn, leaning memorials contrasts with the gleaming glass and shiny marble of the new. Stained glass chapel windows illuminated by the afternoon sun are counterpoints to the stone walls and dead vines entwined on a chapel door. Blooming shrubs and bright flower bouquets add hits of colour. Thousands of trees create a shady canopy in summer. I am moved by the dramatic monuments to the Second World War deportees and resistants. The statuary is stark, haunting, and brutal. The Mur des Fédérés (Wall of the Federalists), against which 147 Communard insurgents were massacred in 1871, still bears bullet scars. Those shot are buried in a mass grave at its base. While walking amid memorials marking tragedy and death, I unexpectedly find a peacefulness here. There are many popular “residents” which millions pay homage to each year. Edith Piaf, the “little sparrow” born in the 20tth Arrondisment, has plenty of long stemmed red roses left for her. She is just down the hill from Oscar Wilde, who claimed to “be dying beyond his means” in Paris. The plexiglass protecting his tomb is covered with lipstick

hearts and kisses. A group of youngsters surreptitiously parties next to the cordoned off grave of The Doors singer Jim Morrison. Flowers, flags, and musical instruments festoon the base of Polish composer Chopin under the supervision of a statue of Euterpe, the muse of music. Other statuary ranges from the predictable weeping angels and chubby cherubs to the bizarre winged skulls on magician E. Robertson’s tomb. I cannot decide
whether the bronze figure on the tomb of 19th century Belgian writer and poet George Rodenbach is climbing into or struggling out of the grave. Some are more famous in death than they ever were in life. Victor Noir, a young 19th century journalist, is memorialized by a life size bronze effigy depicting how he lay after being shot by a cousin of Napoleon III. Women wishing for fertility have rubbed a certain well-endowed body part and made it gleam against the verdigris of the rest of the statue. A plot surrounded by potato plants is my favourite discovery at Père Lachaise. Potatoes left on the rim of the tombstone are a fitting tribute to agronomist AntoineAugustin Parmentier. In the late 1700s, he promoted the potato as a food source. Until that time, the potato was considered only fit for animal feed. Parmentier persisted with his campaign and the subsequent planting of potatoes helped stave off starvation for many Europeans. Our amble amongst the long dead comes to a halt with the persistent ringing of the closing bell. The stony-eyed bell ringer gives not a glance as we wave adieu and step through the gates into the late afternoon sun. Karoline Cullen is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Lena Catherine Locheed Young (nee Steeves)
On July 28, 2014, Lena died peacefully at the age of 96, at the end of a very long and fulfilling life. Lena, known to her friends as Lee, was born in Hillsborough, New Brunswick on April 5, 1918, a member of the Steeves family of New Brunswick, who settled there in 1766. In 1945, she and her husband Truman Locheed arrived in Vernon and chose the beautiful location of Okanagan Landing to create a home. There they raised their four daughters, and for decades to follow, the Lake House at Harbour Heights became the central family gathering place for countless enjoyable family and holiday celebrations. While living at Okanagan Landing, Lee and Truman operated a plumbing business and developed the very scenic subdivision of Harbour Heights. They enjoyed many close friendships among the Landing residents of those early years. In 1959, when Eatons of Canada opened its doors in Vernon, Lee began her work there, becoming a very efficient and popular manager of the Shoe Department. After Truman's passing in 1984, Lee settled happily into retirement, beginning a 25 year Tai Chi practice, travelling and enjoying the company of her second husband, Cecil Young. Her qualities of steadfastness, courage and determination touched the lives of all who had the opportunity to know her. She always moved forward to realize her dreams and her goals, no matter how large the obstacles may have appeared. During all of her days, the devoted and abiding love she provided for her children, her grandchildren and her great grandchildren became a precious gift to them, for which they will always be deeply grateful. Her family delighted in the excellent traditional meals she prepared with great skill and creativity well into her 90th year. Lees graciousness, patience and deep sense of beauty accompanied her to her final days, as did her love for her family. Lee is predeceased by her eleven siblings and by her husbands, Truman Locheed and Cecil Young. She is survived by her loving daughters; Joelanne Stanfield, Laura-Lee Locheed, Lynae Locheed and Trudi Locheed and by her grandchildren; David Stanfield, Susan Kurliak, Scott Stanfield, Sandra Magyar, Brian Magyar, Ragan Niepel, Matthew Fisher, Nathan Fisher and Robekkah Ritchie. Her smile, her apple pies and her kindness will also be missed by her great grandchildren; Luke, Michael, Benjamin, Heather, Daniel, Elaina, Lauren and Emily. A private cremation ceremony took place at the Vernon Funeral Chapel. A Celebration of Life is being planned for Monday, September 22, 2014 at Paddlewheel Park Hall, with final details to be announced in the future. As are her deepest wishes, Lee's ashes will find their final resting place in the Truman Dagnus Locheed Provincial Park overlooking her home on Okanagan Lake. In lieu of flowers, donations to The Schubert Center, 3503 30 Ave., Vernon would be appreciated. Arrangements are in the care of Vernon Funeral Home 250 542 0155.
