Cherryville fights harvesting plans

CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A provincial agency is being accused of placing Cherryville residents at risk. B.C. Timber Sales will soon tender construction of a new road so 209 hectares of timber can ultimately be logged on Cherry Ridge. “There have been numerous slides over the years there so this is scary stuff,” said Eugene Foisy, the regional district director for Cherryville. Opposition to the road is also coming from the Cherry Ridge Management Committee, which oversees an adjacent commuEugene Foisy nity forest. “Cherryville representatives have provided information to inform this timber agency about the hydrology of Cherry Creek, which is in recovery from hydraulic mining over a 60-year period,” states the committee in a release. “Local residents have provided information to the government about the instability of the deeply incised gullies that the B.C. government agency intends to cross with a road.” CRMC goes on to say that BCTS does not have accurate meteorological data for the basin or information about water quality or quantity in Cherry Creek.

“They have ignored relevant advice about local soil conditions and previous road failures in this area.” Foisy is calling for a moratorium on a road and logging until 2016 when B.C.’s chief forester reviews the annual allowable cut for the area. Foisy believes the ideal situation would be for the CRMC to be given permission to take control of the 209 hectares with selective logging that will reduce the chance of slides. “Harvesting should occur but not in huge clearcuts. We’re asking them to give us a chance. What’s the rush?” he said. BCTS defends its decision to tender the road construction project. “Please note that this does not mean that CRMC is unable to have further input on this development,” said Warren Yablonski, BCTS planning forester. “BCTS would like to ensure the community of Cherryville that we are committed to working with your community to integrate harvesting activities with other resource, social, economic and environmental values on the landscape.” Yablonski also says his agency is also open to a site tour with the CRMC and to receive water quality and meteorological data. Foisy is urging B.C. Timber Sales to maintain communications with the community. “We need to have a good public meeting out here,” he said.

Neglected graves garner respect RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

It’s a forlorn corner of the Pleasant Valley Cemetery, indicative of a dark past. However, there are now efforts to shed light on the individuals who were laid to rest as so-called enemies of Canada during the First World War. “This is about being respectful to people,” said Andrea Malysh, program manager with the Canadian First World War Internment Recognition Fund. During the war, internment camps, including at the present site of W.L. Seaton Secondary, were set up for people whose origins were from hostile states such as the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Most of them were single men who travelled to Canada to pursue a better way of life. However, once rounded up and confined to the camps, conditions were extremely difficult. Between 1915 and 1919, seven internees at the Vernon camp died from illness. Five of them were placed in an isolated section of the Pleasant Valley cemetery while the remaining two are elsewhere on the site. They stayed relatively ignored for decades until Lawrna Myers, with the Vernon and District Family History Society, noticed Stephen Sapich’s grave. “You can’t even read anything on it,” said Myers of the headstone, which has crumbled

into pieces. Upset over the situation, society members decided to take action. The society recently received a grant from the CFWWIRF to clean up the graves and install a commemorative plaque. “It’s disturbing to have an unmarked grave. It’s about marking someone’s time on Earth,” said Myers. An official unveiling and memorial service will be held May 23, 2015, the day that Sapich was interred in 1917. Not only will the project pay tribute to the men buried in the cemetery, it will serve as a reminder of the human rights injustices that have occurred in this country, whether it was during the First World War, JapaneseCanadians in the Second World War or to First Nations people. “We don’t want this to happen again in Canada,” said Malysh. The actions of the federal government a century ago will also be the focus of a ceremony at the internment mural on the Sutton Group Lakefront Realty building Aug. 22 at 11 a.m. “This is the date that the War Measures Act was promulgated,” said Malysh of the legislation that led to people being forced into camps. The ceremony will involve the installation RICHARD ROLKE/MORNING STAR of a plaque by the Ukrainian-Canadian Civil Lawrna Myers, with the Vernon and District Family History Society, believes it’s important to Liberties Foundation. repair the internment graves at the Pleasant Valley Cemetery.

Boat patrols cracking down on offenders RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A new set of eyes is making waves on some North Okanagan lakes. The B.C. Conservation Officer Service recently launched enhanced enforcement patrols on Sugar Mabel, Mara and Kalamalka lakes, as well as the Shuswap River, under contract with the Regional District of North Okanagan. “We have heard it’s making a difference,” said Sgt. Josh Lockwood, with the conservation officer service. In fact, some people are trying to avoid the additional enforcement including at Cosens Bay on Kal Lake. “When we come into the bay,

“They were using the cushions off the couch for lifejackets.” — Josh Lockwood

people who are fooling around leave and that’s the purpose of the patrols,” said Lockwood. Since early July, officers have checked 160 boats containing 536 people. There were 96 charges and 168 warnings issued. “There’s lots of no lifejackets,” said Lockwood. “There are mature people pulling their grandchildren on

tubes with no spotters on the boat. We have zero tolerance for not having a boat license or not having a lifejacket.” Fourteen vessels were ordered off the water because of safety concerns, including one vessel on Mabel Lake that originally drew conservation officers’ attention because it had no lights on at night. “The people on the boat were

impaired and they were using the cushions off the couch for lifejackets,” said Lockwood. “We ordered them off the lake. It’s a case like this where you are making a difference because you’re saving lives.” RDNO’s Electoral Area Advisory Committee decided this summer to switch funding from RCMP boat patrols to those conducted by the conservation officer service in the rural areas. “This is exactly what we wanted,” said director Jackie Pearase of the actions being taken by the conservation officers. “I’m hearing good things from residents. They are being responsive to what people are saying to them.”

The Ministry of Transportation insists the public isn’t being ignored when it comes to controversial plans in Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. The ministry has applied to B.C.

expressed concern about removing land from the park and have suggested the rightof-way will negatively impact the environment and possibly lead to more traffic in the park. However, Lachmuth says the ministry’s goal is to improve safety on the road, which goes to the Cosens Bay cabin colony, which is outside of the park. “The current plan is to widen the road in areas where it’s difficult for two vehicles to pass safely,” he said, adding that maintenance costs are also a problem because of the road condition. “We wanted to get a ditch line, do some culvert work and improve the sight lines. Right now, we’re having drainage issues.” In 2010, about 200 vehicles a day used the road and that has EAAC director Mike Macnabb questioning the ministry’s plan. “Quite a bit of money is being spent and there are few people using it so you have to look at the cost/benefit analysis,” he said. However, support for the ministry came from EAAC director Rick Fairbairn. “There are safety issues there and I think they are on the right track,” he said.

Greater Vernon water rates scrutinized RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Greater Vernon officials will take a look at the future cost of water. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee has directed staff to prepare a report so elected officials can discuss the various potential sources of revenue, including taxation, to meet the water utility’s future needs.

“We want more information so we can make a decision on rates,” said Coldstream director Jim Garlick. BX-Silver Star director Mike Macnabb wants the capacity of the water system considered as part of the discussions. “Are there other opportunities to sell water beyond what’s been identified?

Bylaw targets gravel processing RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Restrictions for gravel operations may be back on track. After the Ministry of Mines vetoed a ban on gravel extraction in residential zones, the Electoral Area Advisory Committee is proposing to allow gravel extraction in the country residential zone but the processing of aggregate would not be permitted in that zone in Areas B and C. “You can mine it and put it on a truck (for shipment) but not screen it or crush it on that site,” said director Bob Fleming. The bylaw, if ultimately adopted by the Regional District of North Okanagan board and approved by the ministry, would also apply to other natural resources in Areas B and C of Greater Vernon. “There would be no processing of logs,” said deputy planning manager Greg Routley.

Findlater, chairperson. “Our research indicates the cost could be more than $43 million a year to just manage this problem. And while we have launched our Don’t Move a Mussel campaign to raise awareness, and promoted the outreach of others and the Clean, Drain, Dry message, we need concrete action.

Ranchlands Park trail encouraged RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Pressure is growing to develop a new recreational amenity in Coldstream. The North Okanagan Cycling Society has asked the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee to assist with construction of a 10-kilometre, multi-use trail in Ranchlands Park, near Ravine Drive. “We want to build a culture of mountain biking in our community,” said Mark Dowhaniuk, with the society. “We’re seeking public and private partners to fund trails.” Besides mountain bikers, the trail could be used for walking, running and possibly horseback riders. “We’d like to move forward with it in 2015,” said Dowhaniuk. The total project cost is $40,000. “We have about $10,000 to commit and we can commit about the same in-kind and in volunteer labour,” said Dowhaniuk. The group is also pursuing a grant from the National Trails Program. No commitment for funding has been made, but GVAC members appear supportive of the concept.

The society’s long-term goal is to have trails linked to each other throughout Greater Vernon. “We really want to bring people to the community. We would like them to stay for awhile,” said Dowhaniuk of the economic benefits from mountain biking.

Headaches And Neck Pain Some headache sufferers experience headaches so frequently and for so long that they begin to think it must be normal for them. CAT scans of the head in search of the cause frequently come up negative. Treatment usually ends up being some form of pain-killing drug, which can lead to unwanted side effects and may not address the cause of the problem. The cause of these headaches is often overlooked because much of the pain can actually be referred from the neck. When I perform an examination, I often find that the patient may also suffer from neck pain, neck restriction, tight cervical muscles, muscular trigger points, postural imbalances, tingling in the hands, and sometimes arm pain. X-rays often reveal that the natural spinal curve and alignment of the vertebrae have been lost. When nerves in your spine get pinched, they alert you with pain. The relationship between such misalignments of the neck and headaches is so common that it is even given its own category: cervicogenic headaches. I am also alarmed at the number of children who suffer headaches that are told it is a normal part of growing. There is nothing ‘normal’ about headaches or neck pain. The cause should always be sought. If these problems sound familiar to you or a child you know, one consultation with our office may change the rest of your/their life. ~ by Dr. Elliot Lysyk

Flunking a blood test

t sounded like fun. It always does until someone gets hurt. For $100 apiece, Sue and I got our DNA tested. It’s simple: You sign up online, they send you a little kit, you spit into a fancy test tube and send it back. Six weeks later, voila — you know for sure where your ancestors came from. None of this, “I was King Henry the Eighth in a past life” nonsense, but how much of me is European, how much is Asian, how much is African? Am I a carrier of some genetic disease? How many of my relatives have taken this test? The first thing most people say when they Jim Mullen find out we did this is, “Why? What about your privacy?” Sorry, but if you have a Facebook page, a credit card or a driver’s license, your privacy ship has already sailed. And really, what does it matter if someone knows my ethnic heritage or who my fifth and sixth cousins are? I don’t even care that much so why would anyone else? The second question people ask is, “What did you find out? Were there any surprises?” Oh, yeah, there was a surprise. The legend in my family, from the way my grandparents look in old, fading photographs, is that we have some Native American ancestry. But unless the Native Americans came over here from Ireland originally, the answer is a big honking “no.” If I was anything in a past life, it was one of the Clancy Brothers. No, the big surprise is that I am 2.6 per cent Neanderthal. No wonder Mensa never called me back. First, I didn’t know Neanderthals and humans could mate. How can I have any of their genes? Sue had a lot of fun with that — until she opened her file. Turns out she’s 2.5 per cent Neanderthal. The rest of her is more Irish

VillAgE idiot

than Riverdance. Still, she’s less caveman than I am, which she now mentions with depressing regularity. In public. Some things, it turns out, should be kept private. The results also told me that I probably have brown hair and brown eyes, and on and on, then listed genetic markers I carry for diseases and syndromes which, at my age, I already have: arthritis, atrial fibrillation, male pattern baldness, etc. Having a marker for a disease or a cancer doesn’t mean you will get it, because most diseases need an environmental trigger, too. It seems I pulled a lot of triggers. But what if I had been tested as a child? Would I have lived the same kind of life? The test tells you which of your relatives, known and unknown, have also taken this test. Since the test is only available to people who have an extra $100 handy, most of our distant relatives are not going to be in this database. Mine lists about 260 people I’m related to, most of them fifth or sixth cousins who live all over the world. You can choose to have your identity open to these people, or not. I chose not. It’s bad enough that Sue knows I’m Neanderthal. I don’t need distant cousins I never met lording it over me. But the most interesting of all is that, if you like, you can become part of the quest to break all the DNA codes. By answering questions about your health history and your environment, anonymously if you like, it helps find new markers. And there are some real oddball questions: “Do you like the taste of cilantro?” It turns out that about 17 per cent of people of European descent hate it. It sounds silly, but what if they find that every cilantro-phobe also has the marker for something else, something serious and hard to detect? Suddenly we may discover a simple, inexpensive test for some condition. Or maybe we’ll find out Neanderthals are much smarter than we thought. Contact Jim Mullen at JimMullenBooks.com.

A provincial agency may be focused on maximizing revenue from B.C.’s natural resources, but it’s losing sight of the people it serves. Specifically, B.C. Timber Sales is proceeding with the tender for construction of a road into part of Cherry Ridge so the area can ultimately be logged by private interests. However, there have been concerns from Cherryville residents that the road and logging could create debris slides and place them at risk. “They have ignored relevant advice about local soil conditions and previous road failures in this area,” states the Cherry Ridge Management Committee. BCTS officials insist that construction of the road doesn’t preclude further public input on development of Cherry Ridge. However, there is the possibility that just the road work alone could trigger a slide, and once the government has gone to the expense of building a road, it’s only natural that logging will proceed. Cherryville residents aren’t opposed to logging as the forest sector has been a driving force in the local economy for decades. However, they want logging to occur in a sustainable manner such as occurs in the community forest on Cherry Ridge. Instead of traditional clearcuts, selective harvesting can create employment opportunities while maintaining water quality and ensuring potential public risks are minimized. If BCTS is truly interested in serving the public, the process for a road and any logging would be placed on hold until there can be a public meeting in Cherryville and meaningful input is provided. There is no need to rush.

Too much government waste

ear MLA Eric Foster, I paid my property taxes for the current year. Despite my property assessment dropping and the local mill rate decreasing slightly, my husband and I paid higher taxes this year than previously. The reason, of course, is the change in the threshold for the homeowner grant. In 2013, the government raised the threshold by $10,000 so 95.5 per cent of all British Columbians could enjoy the full benefit of the homeowner grant. This year, the government lowered the threshold by almost 20 times that amount ($195,000). The result, of course, is we and thousands of other British Columbians lose most or all of the grant. The reason why the government reversed themselves so significantly and so quickly is not clear. So I am curious about how the government is going to spend the revenue this reversal has generated. Has Christy Clark decided she needs to spend more than $64 million on her ad campaigns? Is the computer system that has cost more than $1.5

Vernon City Hall I think we need a new award just for city councils, and the upper echelon who control them. It should be called the, "What the hell were you thinking award." We have a runaway city council that tries to support some of the most ridiculous projects I have seen anywhere in this country. Here's my list of Vernon's what were you thinking list. 1. The overpass to divert big truck traffic from using 27th Street and make it safer for the three schools and residents on that road, which included the Hospital Hill traffic circle for Highway 6 traffic. 2. A cycle path on 43rd Street, a major road intersecting Highway 97. 3. A postage stamp-size performing arts centre stuck in the corner of the recreation complex parking lot. A proper, full-size facility should have been built in the Civic Arena location 4. A tourist information centre hidden away in a back lane off 39th Avenue. 5. What happened to the Vernon bypass that was supposed to go over the Commonage in case we had a major disaster on Hospital Hill? 6. Borrowing $7.5 million for a running track for who to use. 7. Now they want to borrow $13 million to expand Kal Tire Place in the parking lot. So where do they

million still broken? Even though you've already spent $66 million on aboriginal child welfare, an amount that resulted in no child receiving more or better services, have you decided

park cars when they build on the parking lot? I for one am tired of pay, pay, pay for their dumb ideas and whims. You bet I am and so should you. Now, would I support something to create employment for the local people? Duh. Where do our kids work when they leave school? Oh yah, head north young man, head north. What about the fathers who would like to stay home and work, instead of the oil patch? I really hope this letter promotes some discussion. I for one am really tired of self-serving members of our community wanting frivolous stuff and expecting me to pay for it. No we don't need more ice rinks. We need jobs and a tax base to pay for the stuff we already have. Paul elmont landing fire Hall It has recently come to my attention that the Okanagan Landing fire hall is not staffed. I had been under the impression that when the Okanagan Landing Volunteer Fire Department was shut down by the city, that the fire hall would be staffed by fire fighting professionals 24/7. When I inquired to the Vernon Fire Department administration, I was advised that the Okanagan Landing fire hall was now fire hall

#2 and was not staffed. But in the event of a fire in Okanagan Landing, firefighters were sent from fire hall #1, assisted by volunteers, presumably from Okanagan Landing. This seems to be a giant leap backward. How is the new format improving on the fire protection that we had under the Okanagan Landing Volunteer Fire Department? How many volunteer firefighters actually live in Okanagan Landing or nearby? When we had a volunteer department, I regularly saw the fire hall doors open and the fire trucks out being tested. allan Phillips alternate iCe sHeet About 50 years ago, while attending a UGN conference in Ontario, I was very impressed by an open air, covere neighbourhood ice rink. It was family time at the rink and moms and kids were there. I was told how hockey teams, lacrosse teams and families, etc. all had their time for use. It has struck me that instead of borrowing $13 million-plus to build another arena, why not spend a couple of million and build about five or six neighbourhood rinks in the city parks? It is quite possible they could build one a year on budget or have rinks donated as memorials. James M. Kennedy

to spend more? Does Translink need to build another $4.5 million parking lot that no one uses? Do B.C. Ferries employees need more than $900,000 for their golf packages and yoga classes? Do our government employees need more than $1.5 million to send each other presents and pat each other on the back? Do you need to spend more than $2.7 million on electric car charging stations because there are now 211 electric cars in the whole province (there were 210 last year)? Is the next Job Fest going to need another $3 million for glow sticks and guitar picks? You wouldn't have had to lower the homeowner grant threshold by such a huge amount if you weren't so wasteful with our money. In fact, you could probably lower taxes if the waste was eliminated. So please tell me what the homeowner grant revenue will be used for? V. Harrison

in suPPort I fully support the letter by Lloyd Atkins that appeared in the paper July 27 regarding a sensible way to settle the school teachers strike. It's too bad the principals in the matter aren't as sensible. l.l. Mawle Pellet Plant It is hard to believe that a beautiful community like Coldstream would jeopardize the quality of life of its citizens for a marginal increase in the tax base. No matter how it's positioned, those located reasonably near the proposed plant will be subject to increased traffic both road and rail (and the accompanying dust and horns), and increased air pollution. For possibly 20 new jobs, this creation should not be at the expense of thousands. And being located only hundreds of feet from the school, one would have to believe a more suitable location must be out there. With regards to air pollution, it is easy to throw around terms like cutting-edge technology and industry-leading, but when it comes right down to it, the real litmus test would be to know if any of the executives want this plant in their backyard. The time is now to stop putting profit before people. epp family

YOU AND THE LAW IMMEDIATE ROADSIDE PROHIBITIONS — WHAT’S THE DEAL? By Janice Mucalov, LL.B.

It’s hyped as the toughest “don’t drink and drive” law in Canada. And there’s no doubt B.C.’s “immediate roadside prohibition”(IRP) program is scary, in more ways than one. Since 2010, this provincial law has allowed police to issue on-the-spot driving suspensions at the roadside – and impound your vehicle – if a roadside test suggests you drove with a blood alcohol concentration of .05 or more. This is a lot lower than the .08 legal limit in the Criminal Code. And the driving prohibition starts immediately. Suspensions can be for 3, 7 or 30 days if the device reads WARN (suggesting a level between .05 and .08), depending on whether it’s your first suspension or not. But it’s 90 days if the device reads FAIL, suggesting the level is above the legal limit in the Criminal Code (i.e., .08 or more).

unfair process, offering insufficient protection, can ensnare too many innocent people. Here are some examples. In late 2011, our courts decided that parts of the law were unconstitutional. The province changed the law – so since mid-June, 2012, police officers have had to swear to their IRP reports, which go to the Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles (OSMV). A false report risks perjury charges. But the OSMV, responsible for IRP reviews (appeals) if demanded, continued to accept unsworn police reports. When challenged in court, the OSMV argued this was allowed under some other parts of the law. Not true, said our appeals court. A further appeal was refused by the Supreme Court of Canada.

Our courts have also thrown out As well, you face impound charges, IRP’s because the officer based money penalties and other costs them on the device alone – – and you may also have to take Kylie Walman without other reasons to think a responsible driver course ($800the driver’s driving ability was plus) and get an interlock device affected by alcohol, though the put in your car ($1,730-plus) for a 30 or 90 day suspension.

Are You Taking Care of Your Shoulder Pain? Discover a New Option. Shoulder aches and pains are common, but because our arms seldom get a rest, these aches often become chronic injuries: knots, spasms, frozen shoulder and tendonitis. Many of us learn to live with it and think, “It’s a part of my lifestyle or job”. Many of us have had chronic tendonitis, making it difficult to lift a carton of milk or wash our hair. And many of us have exhausted a variety of therapies.

DR. RYAN HARRIS

Therapy, the only therapy I found to get rid of my pain and heal my injury. Shockwave, developed to break up kidney stones, can break down scar tissue and stimulate new blood vessel growth, promoting proper muscle function and restarting the healing process.

It is in those injuries that have lingered for months or years where shockwave shines. If you have chronic shoulder injuries, don’t give up hope. If I had, I would not be in practice today.

Glenmore Chiropractic

Most therapies have an affect only on new injuries that are days to weeks old. Once scar tissue forms and healing stops (chronic), we are at the mercy of the injury. Over and over in my practice I hear, “I have been dealing with this injury for months or years and tried everything. Nothing has worked… what do I do?”

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association 2005, shockwave therapy had a 91% success rate for the treatment of calcific Rotator Cuff Tendonitis. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

I tell them about the tennis elbow and shoulder tendonitis I had, both of which nearly caused me to shut down my practice. I talk about the multitude of therapies I tried to no avail. Then I talk about Shockwave

ed medical equipment, therapy, learning and mobility aids for local children. “I realize the importance of giving back to such a strong local charity,” said local owner, Sean Matile. “Boston Pizza has partnered with Cops for Kids for many years and we’re looking forward to another successful event. The annual Jail & Bail is a fun way for us to raise money to help kids with items that aren’t covered by government or other local agencies. If you’d like to snitch on a friend or co-worker, or even nominate yourself, we’d love to lock you up in our jail for a while.” The Cops for Kids team is looking forward to the second annual event. “We still need more jailbirds to help us reach our aggressive fundraising goal. It’s overwhelming the number of North Okanagan families that need assistance, and we’re proud that we’ve been able to assist so many in their struggles,” said Const. Nicolas Reimann, Cops for Kids ride team member. If you, or someone you know, might be deserving of a summons, visit www.copsforkids. org or call 250-801-4438 to arrange their arrest.

One hike, 10 B.C. sights

tourism b.c./albert normandin photo

A pair of visitors canoe the calm waters of Buntzen Lake, which is located just east of Anmore in the Lower Mainland.

jane cassie Special To The Morning Star

B.C. - We did a lot of hiking when we were first married. But that was a couple of decades and a dozen pounds ago. So, when Brent suggests that we re-connect with Mother Nature’s tundra trails, I’m feeling skeptical about conquering the ascent. “It’ll be fun,” my Olympian-fit husband assures me. “And we’ll start out easy—like the hike at Buntzen Lake.” Childhood memories flash back to this picnic spot, just east of Anmore; canoes on still waters, sandy beaches edging the shore and a low-level trail rimming the perimeter. Even my aging knees can handle this twohour saunter. But after arriving at this adventure playground, instead of taking the low road, we head for higher hills. Intersecting the southwest corner of this glistening gem is a mountain route that literally takes us up, up and away. “Don’t worry,” Brent promises. “We don’t have to do the fifteen kilometer loop. If the going gets too tough, we can turn back after any one of the viewpoints.” As well as Diez Vistas Trail being a little more than a walk in the park, I find out that it’s aptly named; 10 heartthumping ascents and 10 scenic summits. Our tag-along schnauzer is excited. She seems to have reclaimed some puppy pep and is as hyped as my hubby about this challenge. How can I let them down? My confidence begins to grow when we venture onto the wide-grade path that bisects the forest, crosses a floating bridge and leads to a gravel road — pretty non-threatening. Then the real trailhead and uphill begins. In fact, by the time we pass under the hydro lines at the 2.25-kilometre

GREAT ESCAPES & SCENIC SIGHTS

mark, I’m the one who’s needing a power surge! Switchbacks scroll the mountainside and take us closer to the heavens. And while huffing and puffing my way to the first summit, I’m ready to throw in the towel. But it’s too early yet. Our cute pooch (transformed mountain goat) is having the time of her life and is running circles around me. Why was I ever worried about her heart? I’ll likely be the one needing a pacemaker after this journey! Our trail forks to the right, rising sharply to the first summit and we’re finally privy to that hiker’s reward — a drop-dead (excuse the pun) view of forever unfolding mountains. “It gets even better,” Brent claims, when I respond with an oxygen-deprived, ‘Wow.’ “You’ll really be blown away by the next perch.” Although it’s a poor choice of words, he’s tweaked my interest. I’m not sure if this is just a ploy to keep my rubbery legs going, but the dog seems to be in agreement, as she wags her stubby tail and skitters onward. And I diligently follow, doing my slow but steady plod. Nature has a magical way of instilling peace. I’m not sure if it’s the clear mountain air or escaping the city pace, but somehow I feel symbiotically connected to the surroundings and internally calm. We continue in silence,

each of us lost in our own thought. At an elevation of 560 metres, we’ve conquered the brunt of this bluff, and the ridge-top plateau is now more forgiving. My heart has stopped drum rolling. I’m breathing within normal range. And my sweat-soaked shirt is providing a cool embrace. Life is good. And, as Brent promised, so are the next nine viewpoints. Beyond the treefringed Deep Cove, our overview includes the metropolis of Vancouver, snowtipped North Shore peaks, and a scattering

of distant islands. Other pinnacles showcase different views: the finger-like fjord of Indian Arm, blue-smudged Tony Onley-type landscapes and the wilderness that stretches beyond. We take time to soak in the beauty and visual overload from each summit and agree that this hike is worth the sights! Although we have the option of doing an about face and retracing our steps, we go for the full circle tour. The Hansel and Gretel-type wooded thicket opens up to the occasional viewing bluff and peek-a-boo vistas.

Down, down to lower ground. Knees, knees, hang in there please! We end up on the north side of Buntzen Lake, a quick pit stop for refreshment and reprieve. From here, we can take the easier east-side lake trail back to our rescuing vehicle, or join the die-hard athletes on the west shore. By now, I’m motivated to give it my all. And after four more kilometres of rugged terrain, I can proudly say I’ve reclaimed my hiking legs — unlike our carried canine! Jane Cassie is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Rec league searching for players Morning Star Staff

Kelsey Thompson of the College of the Rockies Avalanche gets ready to return a serve last season. Thompson was named the Top Offensive Player and MVP last year.

Thompson on high with Rockies KEVIN MITCHELL

Sports Editor

Named Top Offensive Player and MVP as a third-year power with the College of the Rockies Avalanche, Kelsey Thompson expects an even bigger role as a senior in PacWest women’s volleyball this fall. Thompson, who played five years high school ball with the Fulton Maroons, taking female athlete of the year five times, began her collegiate career with the Grant MacEwan University Griffins in Edmonton as a freshman. The Griffins placed third in league play. “I was on a scholarship there, but I wanted to go back to B.C. and I kind of made the Avalanche as a walk-on,” said Thompson, who turns 21 in September. “Last year’s team was older and we were one game short of making the B.C.’s. This year, I’ll be one of the older girls and will have to be a little more of a leader as a senior. We have five or six starters back and we’re actually going to

be really good. “The league’s pretty close. We went to five (games) with VIU (Vancouver Island University Mariners of Nanaimo) and they won provincials. If we can all put it together at the same time, we can beat anybody.” The Avs, who just missed the sixth and final playoff berth, were leading the Mariners 2-1 before dropping the home match on Jan. 31. “She should have made the second all-star team easily but when you don’t have a (playoff) record, you get dismissed,” said Andrew Zurrin, an assistant who took over as head coach in January. “All the voting is done on the coast.” Thompson was consistently in the top-five offensive and top-10 defensive statistics in the Pacific Western Athletic Association. She finished with 269 kills, 292 digs and 28 aces for the season. Added Zurrin: “When a player leads your team in all offensive catagories, serve receives in all rotations and con-

trols your defence in the back row, you cannot win without her on the court. That is what makes Kelsey an MVP.” Zurrin is stoked about the Avs’ chances this season. “I’ve got a lot of athletes and it should be a lot of fun. Kelsey was a co-captain last year and I will ask her again this year. It’s not just a title, it comes with leadership and we need her to teach the rookies and be a mother, not a drill seargent.” Thompson has a tourism and recreation diploma and is two years into a business degree. She plans to stretch courses out so she can play two more seasons with the Avs. Cranbrook is a quiet and beautiful town,” said the 5-foot-7 daughter of rec hockey goalie Jay and Teresa Thompson, her two biggest fans. “We all went to watch the (Western Hockey League Kootenay) Ice in the playoffs and they come to support us. It’s just them and us in town.” Thompson, who struck silver

indoors for the Okanagan zone in volleyball at the 2008 B.C. Summer Games in Kelowna and bronze in beach doubles (with Keirsten Mend) at the 2011 Games in Langley, uses her athleticism to compete with much taller opponents. “My vertical is pretty good and so is my passing. I’m kind of short for my position, but I was third or fourth in kills (league) last season.” She is playing reverse 2-on-2 grass volleyball and working at Marble Slab at home this summer. After college, she would love to travel for a year or two and get into event planning. Her 16-year-old sister, Jess, was a power/libero with the Fulton senior Maroons last season. The Avs have five Albertan recruits this season: left side Caity Rook of Cochrane, outside hitter Arianna Benwell of Okotoks, libero Alexa Koshman of Lethbridge, power Mackenzie Morey of Calgary and middle Taylor Forster of Calgary.

Greater Vernon Recreation Services is inviting individual players or teams, 19 years or over, along with scorekeepers and officials to fill the Boston Pizza Hockey League, which starts play Tuesday, Sept. 16. The non-contact league will feature 30 regular-season games plus a double-elimination playoff. League coordinator Mike Knights said the BPHL is suitable for players of all calibres. “We have some exJunior A players – some of whom have played for our very own Vernon Vipers – the odd exNHLer, and we also have career recreational players,” said Knights. League fees for teams that register prior to Sept. 1 are $7,500, including taxes. After Sept. 1, fees go up to $8,000. The BPHL will create teams for individual players, who can sign up for $500. “It is a great mix of competitive hockey in a competitive framework that allows for reasonable contact between experienced players. We don’t tolerate violent play and behavior but the games are still fun and competitive,” said Rob Bauml, player, league veteran, and former league president. Interested teams, players, referees or scorekeepers are urged to email Knights at mknights@vernon.ca or call 250-550-3669.

The OTC Sunterra Sistas ambushed the Capri Brew Crew 10-3 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 2 play Thursday night at MacDonald Park. Cassandra Otto and Diane Neudorf sniped four goals each for the Sistas (12-1-1), while Nicole Williams and Kim Sylvester added singles. Becky Birbilis was solid in net, but yielded a pair of goals to Marisa Wiebe. Midfielder Nigel Clack scored with two minutes remaining as the Silver Stars shaded host Westside 3-2 in Okanagan Men’s 55+ Soccer League action Thursday night. John Matejicka came off the injured reserve and bagged a deuce for the 14-2-2 Stars. Former Dutch pro Ben Voss produced two goals in tight for Westside (2-13-1), who otherwise failed to test towering keeper David Gould. In other 55+ play, Vernon Kal Tire brushed back the Summerland Rockets 3-1 at Reiswig Park in Lake Country. Red-hot striker Ken Rath rang up a pair of goals, while midfielder David Hampton added a single as the tiremen went to 7-7-2. Rath neatly beat the last defender redirected a 15-yard cross from Kevin Mitchell past ex-Scottish pro keeper Tommy McGill for his first tally. Hampton rushed up the right flank, took a feed from Jenne Huberts and beat McGill with a low corker far side. Summerland pulled to within one early in the second half when Nathan Larkin’s shot from the left corner bounced in off a defender past keeper Felix Heinrich. Rath added late insurance on a sweet through ball by Denis Chabot. McGill dove to tip a blistering Mitchell penalty kick over the bar in the second half, moments after robbing Terry Lowe on a low bullet from in tight. The Kal Tire back four, anchored by Gordie Campbell, was bold with Campbell earning the Surplus Herby’s Man of the Match before he left for a camping holiday in the Kootenays.

KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

It was a unique mix of hockey and culture for Vernon 15-year-old Emily Clarke. The Grade 10 VSS student is spending her days at the beach after a grueling schedule at the World Selects Invitational Under 16 Hockey Tournament in Budapest, Hungary. Clarke and Anna Morrish of Kamloops were recruited by the Northern Alberta Hockey Association (NOHA) Panthers during the 2014 B.C. Winter Games in Mission, where they boosted the ThompsonOkanagan zone to a bronze medal. The Legacy Global Sports tournament started with all the rosters being shuffled for five-on-five scrimmages to break the ice. “It was like a multi-national game,” said Clarke who wore No. 89 for the Panthers. “I was in the third game and one guy watching said our game looked the fastest so the pace gradually got faster. “I had a great time, meeting so many new people from all over the world, and seeing what kind of hockey they play.” Clarke, a 5-foot-4 left winger, scored with Morrish assisting as the Panthers finished with a 4-1 loss to Slovakia in the game for fifth place. The NOHA girls bowed 5-0 to Sweden Selects Blue in their opener. “They were very fast, big and strong,” said Clarke. “We were trying to figure out things as a team and didn’t play our best.” The Panthers then lost 5-0 to the eventual champion West Coast Selects of Michigan before stopping Slovakia in a shootout and losing 3-0 to Spartak of Moscow. “They (Spartak) were scary; they were very aggressive. We had a good day we were all smiling when we beat Slovakia.” D-man Hannah Bates of the Michigan squad took a two-handed slash to the back of the head from Svetlana Starovoytova of Spartak,

who was suspended. The stick broke over Bates’ helmet and made a horrific thwap sound that echoed around the arena. There have been more than 350,000 hits of the incident since it was uploaded last week. The Panthers avoided any such violence. Head coach Sarah Hilworth, a Vancouver native who played five seasons for the University of Alberta Pandas, was impressed with Clarke’s classy contributions. “We had her with Anna Morrish and Baillee Werstroh,” said Hilworth. “We had Emily playing in almost every situation and she was a key member of our team. We had a rotating captain for each day, and Emily was a unquestionable pick to wear the A. “She is a great leader and was able to help out all of her peers. I would say her leadership is her greatest strength as she was able to effectively communicate to all of her teammates. She was an absolute pleasure to have on the team as she always had a positive attitude and had a desire to learn.” The Panthers, a team full of players from B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan, flew into Vienna and then continued on to Budapest for the annual tournament. Clarke said she gained a new appreciation for B.C.’s ice facilities and expects to insert some of the European style into her game this season. She will play for the Midget A Female Salmon Arm Silvertips. She was with Brent Magnus and the Sladen Moore Bantam Lakers, who lost a thrilling Okanagan Mainline final series to the Kamloops Mystix last season. “I’m more a playmaker. My shot needs to be worked on. I’m a decent skater.” Clarke began hockey at age eight and she eyes a collegiate scholarship. Her favourite player is Canadian Olympian phenom Marie-Philip Poulin. Clarke played Rep soccer for the Vernon U16 girls this spring.

Doug Cuthbert I’LL HELP YOU MAKE THE RIGHT MOVE.

BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL

YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY Delicate situations are apparent. Let the voice of experience guide you through uncertainty. Stubbornness will not serve you well this year, causing you to miss out on some valuable information. Opportunities will come your way, but you will need to be receptive to unusual methods.

Previous Solution Sudoku

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Some issues can’t be avoided. Deal with important matters promptly to avoid being held back. Protect your interests to prevent personal problems. A professional situation will trouble you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Put some fun in your day. You could miss out on both love and laughter if you are too isolated. Take advantage of this high cycle and make plans with friends. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You can turn things around if you concentrate on the positive aspects of your life. Feeling sorry for yourself is not a valid excuse for neglecting your friends, family or responsibilities. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) There will be a whirlwind of activity around you. Put things in perspective and realize that you can’t control everything. Sometimes, it’s best to sit back and enjoy the ride. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Let loose and indulge in an adventure. Make plans to discover something that will challenge you mentally and physically. Show off to draw positive attention that could result in new opportunities.

Crossword Puzzle

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Take the time to re-evaluate your financial situation. By consulting with professionals, you will find that there are many avenues available to improve your cash flow and ease your stress.. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Follow your heart. Make a clean sweep of the people or ideas that have been holding you back. The positive changes you make today will benefit you in the future. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) LIf you believe everything you hear, you will learn a

hard lesson. Separate fact from fantasy and proceed with caution. It’s better to be safe than sorry. ARIES (March 21-April 19) You can and should reduce your stress level. Getting worked up over minor issues will cause you unnecessary headaches as well as make those around you edgy and upset. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Good fortune is shining on you. Move forward with your most meaningful projects. Marketing and presenting your unique skills will contribute to your success.

Finding God in the park and everywhere YME WOENSDREGT Special to The Morning Star

I recently read a wonderful little story online. Eighty-five-year-old Abe was fiercely independent, but after a mild stroke, his son insisted he move in with him. Abe missed going to the park near his old apartment. One Saturday he set out to find it. He became disoriented and asked a young boy named Timmy where the park was. Timmy said he’d like to take him there, but he didn’t have time because he was looking for God. He said he needed to talk to God about why his parents were getting a divorce. “Maybe God’s in the park,” the old man said. “I’d like to talk to God, too, about why he’s made me useless.” So they set off together to find God. At the park, Timmy began to cry about the divorce, and Abe lovingly held his face in both hands and looked him straight in the eyes. “Timmy, I don’t know why bad things happen, but I know it wasn’t because of you. I know you’re a good boy

and your parents love you and you’ll be OK.” Timmy gave Abe a big hug and said, “I’m so glad I met you. Thanks. I think I can go now.” From across the street, Timmy’s mother saw them hug and approached her son in a worried voice. “Who was that old man?” “I think he’s God,” Timmy said. “Did he say that?” she demanded. “No, but when he touched me and told me I’m going to be OK, I felt really better. Only God can do that.” When Abe got home, his son asked in a scolding voice, “Where were you?” “I was in the park with God.” “Really? What makes you think you were with God?” “Because He sent me a boy who needed me, and when the boy hugged me, I felt God telling me I wasn’t useless anymore.” Stories like this remind me that God comes in many disguises. In 1972, Presbyterian professor Robert McAfee Brown wrote a wonderful book called

The Pseudonyms of God. His point was that God speaks to us in many different ways — through human culture and natural events, through interior mystical experiences, and through very public experiences. We can catch a glimpse of the reality of God’s presence in many different ways, and maybe especially in those ordinary, everyday moments. Part of the joy of living faithfully is learning to see more deeply into the heart of reality. We become more open to the surprising grace of seeing God’s presence in many ways. Like Abe and Timmy, we may even learn to find God in the park. I know people like them who are close to God when they’re riding a bike, or climbing mountains, or listening to a piece of music, or finding themselves lost in a work of art. Celtic spirituality calls such experiences “thin places.” Maybe the next time you’re in the park, you just might see God. The Rev. Yme Woensdregt is incumbent at Christ Church Anglican in Cranbook.

IMPLANT SUPPORTED DENTURE 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. 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.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder COUNT YOUR TRICKS, NOT YOUR LOSERS When you are in a trump contract, you start by counting losers. But on some deals (I estimate around 20 percent), you do better to count winners. So, in an ideal world, you count both before playing from the dummy at trick one. South is in five clubs. What should he do after West leads the spade king? North’s double was negative, promising four hearts. South’s two-spade cue-bid was an artificial game-force. Then probably either South should have bid three no-trump over three clubs, or North should have cue-bid three spades over three diamonds to ask

his partner to bid three notrump with a spade stopper. Note, though, that to make three no-trump, declarer must win four club tricks. And after his ace drops West’s jack, the percentage play is to finesse East for the queen. In five clubs, though, South can get home without guessing the trump suit. Suppose he wins the first trick with his spade ace and cashes his two top trumps. Now he must collect these 11 tricks: one spade, two hearts, two diamonds and six clubs. Declarer cashes his top diamonds, ruffs a diamond in the dummy, takes the heart ace and king, trumps a heart in his hand, and

ruffs his last diamond. That is 10 tricks in. And when South leads dummy’s last heart, he must collect one more trump trick with his nine via a coup en passant. If East ruffs low, South overruffs; if East ruffs with his queen, South discards a spade loser and his club nine is then high.

er 10 to 20 minutes should be allowed to get through the line up at security during peak travel times of the day when multiple flights leaving at the same time. An easy way to avoid the pre-boarding travel stress is to arrive 90 minutes before flights within Canada and two hours before flights to the US and Mexico, and then head through security to the departures area as soon as possible, added Hynes. Arriving early for your flight and discovering little to no security lineup is not time wasted as the airport has many services available. And she reminded passengers that the departure time on your ticket means that’s the time when the aircraft’s wheels must be leaving the ground. “Don’t let your flight depart without you,” said Hynes. With the first six months of 2014 complete, passenger numbers at YLW have reached a new record, with 780,651 passengers passing through the terminal, compared to 729,175 in 2013. That puts the first half of the year more than seven per cent ahead of the same period last year. It also means YLW is one of the fastest growing airports in the country. “We are really pleased with these numbers,” said Hynes.

Proposed Pellet Plant

www.vernonmorningstar.com

AT LAVINGTON

Key Facts

Micrograms per cubic meter

Emissions from the plant will be a fraction of the recommended limits for new pellet plants by the BC Government. Air quality standards in British Columbia are among the most stringent in the world. Dispersion modelling of the plant’s impact on particulate matter (PM) Air Dispersion Modelling Results concentrations, PM10 and PM2.5, in the 60 area was completed using a worst case BC Air Quality Target scenario as per Ministry of Environment 50 Max Contribution from Pellet requirements. Actual emissions will be Plant at Lavington School 40 much lower. The modelling confirmed that even in the worst case scenario, 30 the maximum contribution to PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations at sensitive 20 locations such as Lavington Elementary School is very low. Even in the worst case 10 scenario, the pellet plant will contribute 0 only 4% of the PM2.5 annual target. PM2.5 PM10 PM2.5 Annual 24 Hour 24 Hour

Fugitive Dust

The pellet plant project is the central component of a larger fugitive dust management initiative. Fugitive Dust in the areas should be reduced as a result of the following: ➧ Paving the main road from School Road to the Pinnacle site ➧ Paving the entire site with asphalt including inside the tents; ➧ Storing fibre in two fully enclosed tents; ➧ Fully enclosing the truck tipper system; ➧ Enclosing the conveyor belts; ➧ Enclosing the dryer; and ➧ Enclosing both the hammering and pelletizing process.

Sunday, August 10, 2014 - The Morning Star A23

Building today for a clean, green tomorrow! The green, renewable, pelletized fuel from this project would result in the offset of ~ 400,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year. This is the equivalent to the carbon emissions of 27,000 Canadians including, but not limited to, their cars, home heating, and appliances. Pellets from the plant are produced from sawmill residuals. No additional trees will be cut. The use of low temperature bed drying, heated by natural gas, to dry sawdust at the pellet plant results in very low emission concentrations. The emissions are guaranteed by the manufacture based on their experience with over 3,000 installations in operation. This technology is the cleanest, environmentally friendly technology available. It is common in Germany and many other European countries with extremely strict environmental regulations and plants next to populated areas. For more information on how this technology is used in Europe please visit: http://www. CanadianBiomassMagazine.ca/ content/view/4150/63/

Train Traffic

The number of trains that pass through the community will not increase. Instead, each train will have additional cars to service the pellet plant product.

in partnership with

Truck Traffic

When the pellet plant is operational, there will only be four (4) additional trucks per day. Truck traffic on Lavington roads will still be significantly lower than when the glass plant was in operation. Traffic impact is minimized because most trucks bringing feedstock to the pellet plant will be reloaded with biomass from the sawmill for other destinations such as Tolko’s Armstrong Cogen plant. This will make the most effective use of the truck fleet and keep traffic lower than if the pellet plant was situated elsewhere.

A couple of local pros have chipped in their support for ALS. Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club associate professional Myles Johnson recently took part in the PGA of B.C. Golfathon for ALS. “Myles was joined by colleague Jesse Crowe, of the Salmon Arm Golf Club, and golfed from sunrise to sunset, plating a staggering 200 holes of golf each,” said Wendy Toyer, executive director of the ALS Society of B.C. “Myles shot 47 birdies and two eagles during the marathon day of golf. Jan Dion in the pro shop chipped in encouraging support for the pair.” Collectively, they raised $2,960 for ALS. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also referred to as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder that affects the person’s motor neurons that carry messages to the muscles resulting in weakness and wasting in arms, legs, mouth, throat and elsewhere; typically the person is immobilized within two to five years of the initial diagnosis. There is no known cause or cure yet, but there is hope through the ALS Society of B.C. “On behalf of the association, I am extremely excited for the PGA of B.C.’s ninth year of participation with Golfathon for ALS, benefiting the ALS Society of B.C. patient services,” said Donald Miyazaki, executive director of the PGA of B.C. “In our eight years of involvement, the efforts of our members have generated over $869,000. We have also assisted the over 2,800 individuals in B.C. who are fighting this deadly disease. I am confident that with the continued support of our members, 2014 will be the year where the program will eclipse the $1 million mark.” Proceeds from the PGA of B.C. Golfathon for ALS provide important support services to ALS patients and research to find a cure. Donations can still be made on behalf of Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club and Salmon Arm Golf Course in person at the pro shop or online at www.golfathonforals.ca

Study to map Okanagan crops jennifer smith Black Press

It will soon be clear how many growers have turned from tree fruit to grapes, how much water farmers are using and how much water the sector is expected to use in the future. The Okanagan Basin Water Board and Ministry of Agriculture are mapping crops growing in the North and Central Okanagan this summer in a follow-up effort to the first set of such data collected in 2006. “It’s some of the most valuable kind of information we have,” said Anna Warwick-Sears, OBWB executive director. She noted that the initial maps have been used by everyone from scientists collecting pollen data to farmers. Agriculture uses 55 per cent of the water extracted and treated in the valley and plants are big water hogs as water evaporates faster from a

plant than a water body. As climate change is expected to increase the duration of Okanagan summers, and the temperatures of the season, the work will include predictive modelling intended to help evaluate how much water individual properties are expected to use in

the future, as well as determining what’s being used today. The surveyors are collecting information on the crops grown, soil type, aspect (or the direction the property is facing), slope and elevation. “If someone’s got really sandy soil then

you’ll need to water it more than if it’s clay soil, so with this type of information we can fairly accurately estimate how much water that piece of property or that crop might need — both under the current climate regime and in the future,” said Warwick Sears.

A Scottish heritage is not required Editor’s note: The following is from the Vernon Scottish Country Dance Club, which begins its fall season Sept. 9. The Scottish heritage and tradition is a part of the vibrant cultural scene in the Okanagan Valley in the form of Scottish Country Dancing. Club members meet in Penticton, Kelowna and Vernon from September through April. There are Scottish Country dance clubs active around the world including western and eastern Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Africa, South America and in the U.S.A. and Canada. Most clubs are members of, or affiliated with, the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society that was founded in 1923. Scottish Country Dancing has its roots in folk dances of the 1700s, or perhaps earlier, and has been passed down through the centuries. The historical connection between Scotland and France is evident in the terms applied to some of the specific dance steps. These include “pas-de-bas,” “pousette” and “jeter.” The dances consist of the fast-paced jigs and reels and one other form, the strathspey, which is unique to Scottish Country Dancing. Of the entire dance forms, the Strathspey is more slowly paced and one might even say “courtly.” In all, it is estimated there are many thousands of different dances. The Vernon Scottish Country Dance Club began in the 1970s. Gillian Martin, who lived in Kelowna, rode the bus once a week to Vernon to instruct the dances and more formally constituted the club in 1993. For the past 15 years Ruth Hurst has been the club’s resident instructor.

The Vernon Scottish Country Dancers welcome new dancers to join them this fall for fun, fitness and friendship. Fall dancing begins Sept. 9. Scottish Country dancing is a social activity for Scots and non-Scots and young and old alike. Since most of the dances are fast-paced and all must be memorized, it also has health benefits in the form or cardio-vascular and mental exercises. The Vernon Scottish Country Dance Club team takes part in various organized community cultural events and performs for residents

of the local care homes throughout the year. The club concluded the dancing season with its 18th annual Scottish Country Dance workshop and Ceilidh (pronounced kaylee) at Paddlewheel Park Hall, April 26. The workshop attracts participants from various places in B.C. and Alberta and was instructed this year by Maureen Lyon, a well-known teacher from White Rock, B.C.

The Vernon Scottish Country Dance Club will start the fall dancing season Sept. 9 in Knox Presbyterian Church hall located at the corner of 32nd Avenue and Alexis Park Drive. Dancing begins at 7 p.m. For more information about the Vernon Scottish Country Dance Club, call Ruth Hurst at 250-545-2626. and on the web at http://scotromanca.wix.com/vernonscd

TOPS offers 10 things to do at a farmers’ market KELOWNA — TOPS Club, Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the nonprofit weight-loss support organization, is encouraging Canadians to shop at their local farmers market this season, and support farm families at the same time. 1. Get in some exercise and scope out the best produce and prices by walking all the way around the market and looking at each booth before returning to make your purchases. 2. Be on the lookout for fresh-cut or potted herbs and spices that you can use as low-cal seasoning alternatives to butter, sour cream, dressings and mayonnaise. 3. Load up on greens and legumes, including beans, peas and lentils. Vegetables like carrots, celery, cauliflower, broccoli and zucchini are delicious raw, and easy to cut up for a quick snack or lunch. 4. Steer clear of stands with homemade goodies, such

as pies, pastries and cookies, as well as vendors selling ice cream or anything fried. 5. Be sure to check labels on homemade jams, jellies, preserves or chutneys, as they may be high in sugar or salt. Ask the sellers about their ingredients. 6. Try to limit buying large amounts of produce that are also starches, including potatoes, corn, pumpkin and some types of squash and peas. 7. Keep an eye out for new foods to try. Don’t be afraid to ask about an unfamiliar fruit or vegetable. Most vendors are happy to explain what it is and how you can prepare it at home. 8. Talk to vendors about which produce will keep for a long time or is good for canning or freezing. Apples, potatoes, squash and garlic will keep for many weeks or months when stored properly. Tomatoes and berries are great for canning.

You can make your own salsas, sauces and jams, while controlling the amount of sugar, salt and additives you’re eating. 9. Looking to treat yourself? Pick up a bouquet of fresh flowers or a bar of homemade soup at the farmers’ market instead of reaching for a sugary treat. 10. Make the trip a group outing. Encourage friends and family as you all enjoy the festive atmosphere, fresh air and healthy foods. Founded more than 66 years ago, TOPS promotes successful weight management with a philosophy that combines support from others at weekly chapter meetings, healthy eating, regular exercise and wellness information. Visitors are welcome to attend their first TOPS meeting free of charge. Membership is $32 per year in Canada, plus nominal chapter fees. To find a local chapter, view www.tops.org or call 800-932-8677.

Life

The top is down and the road is open

ur life can be seen as a series of stages. We were children, teen agers, young adults, completed our education, early career, travel days, raising children, and then they move out and we are empty nesters, retired. This week we bought a red Mustang convertible and it feels like some of those youthful adventures are coming back into this phase of our life and it is really fun! We may have more cash and weaker bones, less daring, and more responsible and both times were and will be full of fun and adventure. This is an exciting stage in our lives, as the boys are adults now and fine young men. As my darling enjoys his

retirement and I continue to enjoy my work, especially the evenings and weekends off. As a young woman before children I had a 1968 MGB convertible which I loved. I was living in Fort McMurray where the summers are short, however I made the most of it, with Marianne Faithfull cranked on the stereo, my long blonde hair blowing out the back of my ball cap, and driving down the highway to Lac La Biche on a

Sunday afternoon just for a pleasant drive. My time with the car was short but it left an imprint and I promised myself I would have a sports car again. The time for revisiting this became when the boys reached adulthood and I would reward myself with a five-speed car, larger than an MGB, something punchy and cool. Maybe a Porsche, Nissan, Audi. The hunt began. The only problem is my darling is 6’4” and his height does not lend itself well to small cars. So we have been looking for the right car, and the reality was it was going to need to be shared. Another compromise in married life: a vehicle for us both to enjoy. The day it all came

together my darling had spent the morning looking at convertibles and found them all to be too old, too big, too expensive or too hard to maintain. Disappointed, he returned home to find the Mustang sitting out front of our house looking very appealing. He came and asked our friend about the car and she said she was selling it. His face remained lit up: a kid who scored five goals in the game; found money; got a new bike; you get the picture. It was the right car, right price and right there. The allure for me for having a convertible is like the feeling I get when I am riding a bike in open space or being on a motorcycle; the top down opens

up the world to us in a glorious way. I have had some great trips with convertibles, a memorable one was in an old International Scout convertible from Banff to Jasper. The open drive was a very special way to enjoy that amazing scenery. When I lived in L.A. I drove a sports car, and when I took my mom to Hawaii for her 75th birthday we rented a red Mustang. The friend I went with also has a red Mustang convertible. (There may be a connection between rentals and future purchases.) There were times when my boys were younger when I feared this time in my life, that I would be so lonely, and unsure of the next phase. Now I know it is a great time in our lives,

Just Ask Teresa … Your Cosmetician I have noticed that a lot of people are protecting their skin and using other means to get a tan. Body Bling is a product used by movie stars and entertainers to get a golden glow without the damaging UV rays that cause skin aging and skin cancer. Spray-On Tans or Self Tanners are also popular. I still recommend a Self Tanner like Avene that look natural on even the fairest of skins and works quickly without streaking or looking artificial. When using a Self Tanner be sure to exfoliate first for a more even and longer lasting colour. You can use a bronzer also to give more colour without switching your foundations. Neon nail polish is a great compliment to your Body Bling or Self Tanners. Try bright orange, blue, green or fuchsia! It’s the first part of August and I saw my first back to school commercial!

It is a temporary, very itchy rash caused by a parasite called schistosomes. Schistosomes are little worms that are found in many lakes and ponds in British Columbia. The parasite themselves spend their life cycle in the bodies of water snails and in the blood stream of ducks and other water fowl. The larvae itself leave the snail host, and then travel near the surface of the water to hopefully hitch a ride on a duck or other water fowl. Mistakenly they hitch a ride onto our dogs or on us. Upon leaving the water, these larvae start to burrow under the skin. The parasite cannot survive on us or our pets, and die almost immediately after they burrow into the skin. The itchy rash that develops is an allergic reaction to this invasion. How can we avoid swimmer’s itch? There is no way to entirely avoid swimmer’s itch unless you and your pet avoid going to lakes or ponds altogether. Paying heed to warning signs posted at public beaches and other hotbed areas. Most importantly, dry yourself as well as your K9 friend off quickly and thoroughly with a dry towel. If a rash develops, and your pet is uncomfortable and will not stop scratching, consult your veterinarian to discuss the best course of treatment to alleviate symptoms.

Photographer makes finals

Jammin’ in Justice

Morning Star Staff

Coldstream-based photographer Fiona Green has represented Canada in the Canadian Association for Photographic Art 4-Nations InterSociety Digital Projected Image Competition 2014, a friendly photographic competition between Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. The competition has been running since 2009 and out of the thousands of entries every year across Canada, 80 finalists are chosen by judges to go forward into the international competition. The results were just announced and this year’s overall winner was South Africa. “I recently took my Canadian citizenship, having been in Canada for five years, and I am beyond words of how proud I am of myself and that I have had the opportunity to represent my country,” said Green, of her first international competition. “It is just a thrill and I would recommend anyone to give these things a go.” The competition has four title submissions, “Open, Our Canada, Monochrome and Nature,” and Green submitted three entries in Open, Our Canada and Monochrome, but only one submission is selected by the judges and it was her image in Monochrome entitled Hold-Vision-Trust-Process that took the position in the finals. The image is a portrait of Andrew Mercer from local Celtic group Cod Gone Wild. Green achieved an overall result from the 360 entries of six points out of a possible 12 points. Green came to photography late in life, having been an artist in the U.K., in many mediums

for many years but not photography. She did the portrait photos for Cod Gone Wild’s recent album, Battered and Fried and has also done all of their poster photography. She has a diverse range of subjects that she likes to photograph but specializes in the rodeo/cowboy life and follows the Wrangler and B.C. Rodeo Association events across B.C. and Alberta. Green’s local work includes photography for the Okanagan Science Centre, Apple Valley Auto’s and many other local artists and events, as well as family portraits. She is also a member of the Vernon Camera Club and sits on the executive as public relations and marketing coordinator.

Gabe Knol claps his hands to the music alongside Logan Collins during their recent Funfer All Daycare outing to Jammin’ In Justice at Justice Park. The concerts run every Wednesday in the park from noon to 1:30 p.m. during the summer, hosted by the Downtown Vernon Association.

These ragtag guardians offer up fun

Movie title: Guardians of the Galaxy

pace traveller, adventurer and sometime criminal Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) becomes the subject of a galaxy-wide bounty hunt after he steals a mysterious and powerful orb. Sought after by Ronan the Accuser, (Lee Pace) a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits, attempting to keep the orb from being used for evil. On the roll call for the Guardians of the Galaxy in addition to Quill, who would much rather you call him Star Lord, is Rocket (Bradley Cooper) a crafty raccoon with a chip on his shoulder, Groot (Vin Diesel) a treeTaylor and Howe like humanoid and Rocket’s sidekick, the notoriously fierce assassin Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer, (Dave Bautista.) Will the Guardians be able to stop Ronan, return the orb to its rightful place and save the galaxy? We say, “It’s fun, funny and action-packed, but not as light-hearted as it seems.” TAYLOR: I enjoyed this film, but I felt a little guilty afterwards. I seem to be in the minority, there’s a small group of us who think that killing large numbers of people (or aliens) is not something to be taken lightly. Yet here is a film, like so many other comic book films, where our heroes dispatch countless life-forms with obligatory quips and light hearts. I understand it’s their job and I guess I can’t blame them for having fun doing it. Perhaps killing people becomes monotonous, too. HOWE: Guardians of the Galaxy took me a little by surprise. We’ve been seeing the trailer for this for at least six to nine months, so it gets a little repetitive. Yet saying that, unlike other movies they didn’t show the best bits in

Reel Reviews

MarVeL entertainMent

The Guardians are unimpressed by high-tech police line-ups, in Guardians of the Galaxy, now playing at Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon. the trailer. The film is loud, fast-paced and there’s so much action crammed into just over two hours that the time flew by. This is the best summer blockbuster so far this year. TAYLOR: I agree. Big, loud, fast, funny, exciting, somehow simultaneously cute and violent. Don’t take your six-year-old, thinking this is gonna be appropriate because it has a talking raccoon in it. Kids are going to have to be capable of handling both “good” and “bad” deaths, plus there are myriad characters to get to know. Some of them, (the baddies) will be known to those of you familiar with the Marvel comics universe. But even those of us not wellversed, like myself, are still going to be able to enjoy the

half-explained back stories and will be able to learn more when they finish Guardians of the Galaxy 2. HOWE: That’s the other thing that the younger audience won’t get, the complexity of the storyline. It’s not just about good versus bad, but who is fighting alongside each other, who is related to whom and how the bonds of friendship are built. I thought it was very well-written, filmed and acted, plus Star Lord’s mix tape was awesome. — Howe gives Guardians of the Galaxy 4 robotic eyes out of 5. — Taylor gives it 3.5 pop culture references from the ‘80s out of 5.

New director for Ballet Kelowna KELOWNA — “On behalf of the Ballet Kelowna board of directors, I am delighted to announce the appointment of Simone Orlando as new artistic director and CEO,” said board president Deborah Ward. “After an international search, we are excited that Simone will be leading Ballet Kelowna into the future. Simone brings an exciting new vision in the performing arts and is a leader who combines uncompromising artistic standards and business acumen.” Orlando said she is thrilled to have the opportunity to lead Ballet Kelowna into its second decade. “I see this community and this company as a great place to focus on promoting and fostering Canadian talent, not only dance artists but dance creators as well,” she said. Orlando danced professionally with the National Ballet of Canada and Desrosiers Dance Theatre before joining Ballet British Columbia where she was a principal artist for many years before her performance career was cut short due to an injury. As a choreographer, she has created numerous commissions for Ballet Kelowna and other professional dance companies including pieces for Ballet BC, Toronto Dance Theatre and a short dance film for the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad. She has also earned several grants and awards for her choreographic talents including the prestigious Clifford E. Lee Award and a fellowship from the New York Choreographic Institute – an affiliate of New York City Ballet. In addition to taking on the role of artistic director, Orlando will be doing double duty as CEO of Ballet Kelowna. “I realized a few years ago that to successfully run a dance company, I would need to augment my skills and abilities beyond my experience as a dancer and choreographer,” she said. Having recently

graduated from the British Columbia Institute of Technology’s Business Management

program with distinction, Orlando feels she is well-prepared to

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist KYLE BREWER

About 250,000 couples in Canada are trying to have children but are unsuccessul. Infertility is defined as an inability to conceive following 12 months of unprotected intercourse. The causes vary and can be found in either the man or the woman. Testing can determine the cause and the results can dictate various alternatives to achieving a successful pregnancy. Carrying a list of all the medications you take is a good idea. The list should include both prescription and non-prescription drugs. It can be helpful when travelling or if you have to see a doctor other than your own in an emergency situation. Your list will save time and help you get treatment more quickly. A survey of the top ten prescribed drugs of 2013 still shows a thyroid replacement drug on top followed by a drug for reducing cholesterol, four blood pressure medications, two antidepressants and one blood thinner. In 10th position this time was a vitamin D product reflecting the huge interest in the vitamin in recent years. If going to the gym isn’t yout thing and you want a good aerobic workout, try stairwalking. Start slowly and gradually increase the number of steps you go up and down. After a while take two steps at a time which is good for your large quadricep muscles. And if you are in a building with an elevator, take the steps.

Local wholesaler finds new partner

Harvest time

Morning Star Staff

A Vernon business is expanding its operations. Big D Products, a wholesaler of equine products, has formed a partnership with Noble Outfitters, of Modesto, Calif., which is Vernon’s sister city. “Noble Outfitters is a major U.S. distributor of many categories, including apparel, footwear, socks, gloves, bags and tools,” said Darryl O’Brian, president of Big D Products. “The partnership will allow us to access a wide variety of rider apparel and accessories in addition to our recognized lines of equine

“Staff size is expected to increase.”

— Darryl O’Brian products. “We’re absolutely thrilled to be associated with such a like-minded company and we will continue to work to create products that exceed our customers’ needs, quality and function.” According to O’Brian, the new relationship will mean some changes locally for the business. “Staff size is expect-

ed to increase with a fall move to a new 20,000-square-foot distribution centre,” he said. “We will continue delivering exceptional value across a broader line of products including an expanded line of English and western riding apparel. The Noble Outfitters product line will be available for fall delivery.”

Real estate sales climb in July Morning Star Staff

The North Okanagan’s real estate industry has experienced a significant surge. In July, there were 224 units sold, a 55.6 per cent increase from 144 units during the same month in 2013. “Renewed consumer confidence has boosted demand as buyers return to mid and higher-end homes, and sellers who had given up are trying again with more success,” said Darcy Griffiths, Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board Darcy Griffiths president. Total residential sales for the month were up 56.3 per cent over last year, with 200 units sold compared to 128.

There were 114 single-family home sales in July, up 56.2 per cent compared to 73 in July 2013. “With strong prices, high demand and low inventory, there is more opportunity for sellers who wish to list and take advantage of the window of opportunity to sell before winter sets in,” said Griffiths. “On the other hand, with the price of singlefamily homes fairly stable in most areas, and mortgage rates remaining at historic lows, there are tremendous opportunities for buyers to get into the market before the possibility of rates rising as the economy and employment further improve going into 2015.” While the 369 new listings taken for the month were up 7.3 per cent from the 2013 level of 344, inventory for July saw a 9.9 per cent dip to 2,260 from 2,507 last year.

A North Okanagan realtor continues to play a role in the industry provincially. The Real Estate Council of B.C. met recently and Joe Pearson, with Re/Max Vernon, has one year remaining in his term on the board. S u s a n McGougan, Joe Pearson of Nanaimo, has been elected chairperson of the council for 2014/2015, and Marylou Leslie, of Surrey, is the vice-chairperson. There are 16 members of the real estate council, including three members appointed by the provincial government. Thirteen members are chosen through an election process open to all real estate licensees in the province. The elected members are com-

prised of nine brokers and three representatives from each of the various provincial counties. One individual is elected as the strata/rental property management member. Currently, the government appointed public members are Barbara Barry, of West Vancouver and John Nagy, of Delta. The council is awaiting the announcement of a third government appointed member. The Real Estate Council of B.C. is a regulatory agency established by the provincial government. Its mandate is to protect the public interest by enforcing the licensing and licensee conduct requirements of the Real Estate Services Act. The council is responsible for licensing individuals and brokerages engaged in real estate sales, rental and strata property management. The council also enforces entry qualifications, investigates complaints against licensees and imposes disciplinary sanctions under the act.

No tax haven

our cottage, or any other vacation property for that matter, can be an important part of your family life – and you might want to leave it to your family. But unless you’re passing assets to your spouse, when you die, you’re deemed to have disposed of all your capital assets at fair market value. If your cottage has appreciated in value, there could be a significant capital gains liability that could force your heirs to sell the cottage. These are some of the options you should consider to reduce the tax bite to your estate and your heirs: Principal residence exemption You are able to make a principal resiAndy Erickson dence exemption claim on either your city home or your vacation property as long as you meet the requirements. If your vacation home increases in value more than your city home on a per year basis, the exemption might be better applied to that property. However, if you have bought and sold several city homes over the same number of years that you have owned your vacation property and applied the PRE on those city homes, you will not be able to shelter the entire gain on your cottage. Preserving the adjusted cost base Another option for minimizing the taxable capital gains is to ensure that all additions to the adjusted cost base (ACB) of the

property are fully accounted for. The ACB is not increased by sweat equity, only out-of-pocket expenditures – so keep your receipts. Gifting during your lifetime Instead of leaving property to your children through your will, you can choose to transfer some or all of it to them during your lifetime – through the outright gift of the property or by making one or more of your children joint owners (with or without you as a joint owner). This option does have a downside because it may trigger an immediate capital gain and life insurance is not an option for paying this tax. Equalize your estate with insurance One good way to cover capital gains and other estate debts – or to provide an equitable amount of money to your other children should you decide to leave your vacation home to just one child – is with permanent life insurance. The death benefit is usually tax-free and can provide a ready source of cash that could prevent the forced sale of assets – including your cottage – to pay taxes. It’s a good idea to discuss your cottage tax issues with your legal and financial professional advisors to ensure that they coordinate with all the other aspects of your financial and estate plan.

Club Penguin co-founder brings expertise Morning Star Staff

One of the region’s entrepreneurial success stories is going to be adding to his curricula vitae with a new and challenging assignment for the coming year. Dave Krysko has just accepted the role of entrepreneur-in-residence at Okanagan College. Krysko was one of the founders of Club Penguin, an Okanagan success story that attracted the attention of Walt Disney Company and which now employs hundreds of people. Krysko’s role as entrepreneur-in-residence will be to offer occasional guest lectures, provide one-on-one and group mentoring and generally encourage students with his story as an entrepreneur. “I’m really looking forward to this,” said Krysko, whose CV includes musician, marketing, running his own agency, and

“This is an opportunity to share expertise.” — Dave Krysko

developing Club Penguin with two partners, Lane Merrifield and Lance Priebe. “This is an opportunity to share expertise and insights that have been developed through my career, and a chance to rub elbows with and learn from the leaders of tomorrow. I’ve been very impressed by the quality of students and graduates coming out of the college’s business program and am excited to be part of it.” Krysko will be replacing Raghwa Ghopal as the entrepreneur-in-residence. Others who have ful-

filled that role included Mel Kotler, founder and owner of Fabricland, Bill Redmond, founder of HRI, Ed Hall, founder of Regency Retirement Resorts and partner in Canadian Adult Communities and Doug Manning, founder and former president of Bridges. “We have indeed been fortunate to have such distinguished individuals provide another facet of the educational experience to our students,” said Barry McGillivray, the associate dean of the college’s School of Business. “Dave is yet another exam-

ple of the value we place on the connection we have to the communities we serve.” Krysko worked with Club Penguin for three years after the Disney purchase, leaving in 2010 as senior vice-president to start Davara Enterprises, which he characterizes as an agency focused on developing a wide range of culture-making enterprises. He is also a longtime philanthropist supporting humanitarian work in Canada, Mexico and Romania. With his wife Donara, he co-founded the Karis Support Society focused on helping women struggling with addictions as well as the Krysko Family Foundation, and with his Club Penguin partners, the New Horizon Foundation: a charitable organization committed to improving the lives of children and families around the world.

New service for province’s agrifoods industry Morning Star Staff

B.C.’s farmers can discover and stay upto-date on programs and services offered by both the federal and provincial governments.

AgPal offers B.C. farmers, producers, and food processors information and links to application details for accessing about 70 federal and provincial government programs that, among other things, offer funding to help the province’s food producers reach new markets, adopt new technology and develop more sustainable operations, as well as access insurance programs for weather-related losses. AgPal was launched by the federal government in 2012 to respond to farmers’ requests for one website with consistent and trustworthy information on government programs and services. AgPal offers custom search functions that can help producers access funding

using program category and industry sector filters to match their needs. B.C. is the fifth province to join AgPal, following Saskatchewan, Ontario, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Nova Scotia. AgPal also includes Farm Credit Canada, the Canadian Agricultural Human Resources Council, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (food labeling), and Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency programs. Growing Forward 2 is a five-year agreement launched in 2013 that provides a $3-billion, federal-provincial-territorial government investment in innovation, competitiveness and market development.

ICBC is preparing to mail out 309,000 refund cheques ranging from $1 to $350 to optional auto insurance customers it overcharged since 2008. Wrong rates were used because of incorrect descriptions assigned years ago to many vehicles that are only now being fixed. The average customer who overpaid all six years will get a refund of around $108, ICBC spokesman Adam Grossman said. The cheques will begin to go out around Aug. 20. The average overpayment was $18 per year. The refunds plus interest being paid total nearly $38 million. Nearly 370,000 other motorists were undercharged because of the glitches.

VERNON

While the local celebrity dancers are perfecting their dance moves, the event planning is in full swing behind the scenes. Many sponsors have generously stepped up to help promote the event. The current “Diamond Sponsors” are Wayside Printing, VantageOne Credit Union, Sproing Creative, The Morning Star, Kiss FM, Terra Life Lease Housing, Catherine Gardens, and Cheek to Cheek Dance Studio.

The event is what it is today because of Lorna Robb, Owner of Cheek to Cheek. The Dancing with the Vernon Stars was her vision and her way of giving back to the community and North Okanagan Hospice Society. “We are very grateful for both Lorna Robb and her colleague Ruth McGrath for coaching all the dance couples and getting them prepared to heat up the dance floor.” says Ruth Edwards.

Dance participants believe they have what it takes to win one of the two coveted trophies: Community Favourite for the dancers that secure the most votes and Judges Favorite, determined by a combination of judges’ scores.

“Not only do we have fabulous sponsors but we also have ‘A-list’ judges on the panel. The judges are Galina Labun - VantageOne Credit Union and 2012 winner of Dancing With the Vernon Stars, Akbul Mund - Citizen of the Year, Funtastic, Business Owner, Eric Foster - MLA, and Tracy Holly - Renown dancer in the Okanagan Valley.” Says Jennifer Strachan, Event Manager Consultant for NOHS. “I just love our community, and especially the people in our community who work together as a team to give back to such a worthy and valuable cause”.
