depending on the weather. It took 15 minutes to ascend to our jumping altitude. My instructor – who happened to be the owner – took that time to link our harnesses together. The harness was so tight I could feel the circulation leaving my limbs.

But there was no way I was going to ask him to loosen up. The Freefall Festival brought several professional jumpers from all over Canada including guys from the 2013 national champion Evolution team. J.C. Ouimet was on the

Evolution team and won the nationals 2013 in his hometown Montreal. “We came out to the festival to jump with people, organize jumps and celebrate Canada Day,” said Ouimet. Nationals go every two years and Ouimet is preparing for nationals next month in Edmonton. Our group of four tandem divers went up with three pros who were jumping to work on new tricks. The door burst open and the pros dove into the blistering blue sky like they were jumping into the deep end of the pool – no hesitation and headfirst. I was still in awe of their maniac departure when I was abruptly rushed to the door. It was go time. The inside of the plane is not tall enough to stand in. I had to awkwardly shuffle while bent over, with a guide strapped to my back,

he red light flicked on beside me and the spaceage plastic door blew open. The fear became real. Standing on a ledge 13,000 feet above Kin Beach, clinging to my harness, I jumped and couldn’t scream even if I wanted to. Okanagan Skydive wrapped up their second annual Great Canadian Freefall Festival Tuesday at the Vernon Airport by inviting a few members of the media out for a jump. “We wanted to build skill, build excitement, have a great time and take jumpers to the next level,” said Okanagan Skydive owner Brett Chalmers, who has owned the company for eight years and has jumped around 3,600 times. What an unbelievable experience. I have been waiting to go skydiving for years. The night before the jump reminded me of Christmas Eve as a child. The day started with safety training at 9:30 a.m. Everything was explained thoroughly and was very comprehensive. The crew at Okanagan Skydive did a great job in reassuring everyone’s safety and made jumping out of a plane seem almost nonchalant. Making our way down the runway, it finally felt like the dream was becoming reality. I couldn’t wipe the stupid smile off my face. “We bought a new plane for this year. The new Quest Kodiak 100 can hold 14 jumpers and it can go 3,000-feet higher,” said Chalmers. “It allows for longer free-fall times and bigger group formations.” The plane shuttled 500-600 jumpers during the five-day event. “What an absolutely wonderful event,” exclaimed Chalmers. “Everyone had a blast and we couldn’t have asked for better weather.” Okanagan Skydive also holds a women-focused festival and festivals for different jumping disciplines throughout their season which runs from April to October,

towards the yawning door. I felt like I could see from Salmon Arm to Kamloops and everything in between. The scenery was immaculate. I used to jump off cliffs and high towers into a pool as a kid, but this wasn’t anything like that. I was briefly terrified seconds after leaving the structure of the plane. My brain took a few seconds to comprehend what I was doing. Once I was allowed to release my hands from my harness, I let everything hang loose and enjoyed the biggest riot of my life. This is the craziest thing anyone can do. I’m sure at some point in my life I would have done it, but the fact that I was on assignment for work made it even sweeter. It was the biggest thrill ride I have ever been on. We plummeted towards Earth at 120 miles per hour. During the 55-second free fall, I didn’t even feel real. The experience was mind-blowing. Opening the parachute was the gnarliest part of the jump. I was plunging through the atmosphere belly first at break-neck speed before coming to a screeching halt. It was a euphoric combination of a car slamming on the brakes and the eerie feeling of being on a ski lift without the bar lowered when the lift suddenly stops. The float down was breathtaking. Dangling above ground, we drifted over Okanagan Lake, surrounding neighbourhoods and the countryside. Chalmers even let me steer the parachute. Twisting and turning, spiralling down to the landing strip was better than any roller coaster at Six Flags. We came in pretty hot for the landing, but it was the easiest part of the jump. We slid on our butts to safety. Once we stopped, my body was taken over by another wave of adrenaline. I began laughing hysterically and yelled “Woooooo!” I’m never going to look at a normal plane ride the same ever again.

Changing demographics are putting the pinch on Vernon’s Upper Room Mission. The number of meals served have soared from 250 a day to more than 300 in the past year, and much of that is fuelled by an evolving clientele. “There are lots of families with children and that’s the hardest part,” said Lisa Anderson, URM spokesperson. “It’s a little shocking that we need high chairs.” On top of this are the regular patrons, including the homeless, and seniors walking through the door for the first time. “It’s difficult to say the least. We are at capacity in the dining room,” said Anderson. “There are so many new faces and that’s a reality check.” Many of the people have turned to URM because pension cheques and minimum wage jobs make it difficult to cover rent and utility costs while putting food on the table. “Everyone is struggling and they are needing help to eat,” said Anderson. The inflated cost of living means food and monetary donations have shrunk and that has URM dipping into limited financial reserves to keep up with demand. “The cost of meat has skyrocketed and

Economic conditions are also having another impact on the mission. “Volunteers have had to quit because they need to find work. Having just one person in the workforce doesn’t cut it for a family any more,” said Anderson, adding that some

senior volunteers have left to care for grandchildren whose parents are working. URM is currently putting a call out for volunteers as well as donations of food and money. Items that the kitchen needs most include meat, potatoes, and fresh vegetables. “We also have meal sponsorship oppor-

Firefighters tackle the Ministry of Social Development office blaze Tuesday.

Cause still not known RICHARD ROLKE

Morning Star Staff

Investigators still don’t know what sparked a spectacular blaze in Vernon. The Ministry of Social Development building on 48th Avenue was destroyed by fire June 30 and crews will be sifting through the debris Monday. “The area of origin was in the roof area which is gone,” said Lawrie Skolrood, deputy fire chief, adding that it may be difficult to determine the source of the fire. “The debris is down in the office building.” Heavy equipment may be needed to ensure safe conditions during the investigation. “If there’s a main beam that’s concerning and it could possibly come

down, we need to deal with the integrity of the building,” said Skolrood. Some roofing work was being done prior to the fire, and while that option is being reviewed further, Skolrood insists there is nothing at this point to indicate that roofing was responsible for the blaze. “We are talking to people involved with the repairs. There are a lot of repair and service groups to talk to,” he said. The Ministry of Social Development are seeking a new office location, but in the interim, staff are available at the Service B.C. centre at 3201 30th St. Clients can pick up cheques and have other immediate needs addressed. Clients with non-urgent needs can contact the ministry’s toll free line at 1-866-866-0800.

The heat is on

ot enough for you? Actually other than that annoying greeting increasing the body temperature even further for one desperately trying to stay cool, I may have an answer for the eternal question and bad joke leadin: How hot is it? Well, as a matter of fact, it’s so hot I’ve had to start watering my lawn. You see, like at least some of you, I really cut back on my lawn watering when the price of water approached somewhere near pouring out bottles of Perrier in your backyard. Suddenly the colour green didn’t seem that important and light brownish was maybe even Glenn Mitchell desirable if not environmentally friendly even. And it always seems like grass comes back in the end, although like during the current hot, dry streak one wants to hedge one’s bets somewhat. That’s why I watered this past week, plus I have a tree that seems to be a bit stressed and needs a little TLC so out comes the garden hose a couple nights a week. Summer’s here and some of this is to be expected, and, hey, we do live in the Okanagan after all, but let’s hope some relief is in sight and then back to summer again..... .......actually it’s been so unseasonably hot lately, again, another set up for ‘How hot is it?’ – that WorkSafeBC has issued a heat stress alert for the Okanagan Valley. According to the agency, heat stress occurs when your internal temperature increases faster than the body can cool itself down. Symptoms include excess sweating, dizziness and nausea, and if not addressed heat cramps and heat stroke can develop. Suggestions to avoid this happening include drinking plenty of water, wearing light-coloured,

MITCHELL’S MUSINGS

loose-fitting clothing, rest breaks in cool areas and doing the hardest physical work in the coolest part of the day. Likely what many of us oldtimers would call common sense but it bears repeating. Hey, keeping people safe is always a good thing and obviously a mandate of WorkSafeBC so take care out there and those of us who work in air-conditioned comfort, well mostly, salute you.... ......and speaking of keeping people safe during hot, dry conditions, in case you didn’t know a campfire ban started in the Kamloops Fire Centre last Friday at noon, including the North Okanagan. It’s very early in the camping season, unfortunately, but understandable due to an extremely hot, dry June. It always frustrates me at one level when these are issued because, well, I haven’t even got my act together yet to get out there in the great outdoors and they’re nixing one of the main reasons I actually want to get out there in the first place. I know that’s selfish, and I apologize for that, but camping without a campfire is well, not really camping at all in my book. However, I understand the reality we’re dealing with and I respect what authorities are trying to do and I encourage all to respect the rules and do be careful in the great outdoors no matter what you’re doing. Maybe things will change, and by the time I’m ready to go camping (Labour Day’s always good), whenever the heck that might be, things will be back to normal.... .....that’s the thing about heat waves, nothing seems normal at all. But they do pass, heck it might even rain on Tuesday. So do take care, live in the basement (if you’ve got one) as much as possible and enjoy the sunshine when you can. And, above all, try to come up with some witty stuff for when the next person asks if it’s hot enough for you?

Political leaders would have us believe that the economy has overcome the 2008 recession and, is in fact, gaining strength. And while that may be the case in some quarters, there’s no question that life remains a struggle for many individuals and families, whether it is the high cost of housing, the climbing grocery bill or the inability to find permanent work. Many seniors have found their pensions don’t go as far as they used to. And the direct result of this situation is that Vernon’s Upper Room Mission is experiencing unprecedented demand. “A year ago we were averaging roughly 250 meals per day. That number has now increased to 300-plus,” said Lisa Anderson, URM spokesperson. “If this trend continues, we are looking at an extra 13,100 meals being served in only one year.” And who is walking through the front door is changing. Along with the homeless, there are seniors and parents with children. It would be easy to turn a blind eye to this scene, but these aren’t just faceless individuals looking for work. Those children may go to our kids’ school. That senior lining up for soup may go to your church and that fellow looking for a seat may serve you at the gas station. They are our neighbours. Depending on what the future brings, they may be us. URM is facing the increased demand head-on but it can’t do it alone. Donations of food and money are needed, as are volunteers. The community has proven over and over again that it is compassionate and giving and now is the time to shine again. “I realize many of us are stretched to the limit, but if people could find it in their heart to give, it really can make a difference,” said Anderson.

Wait lists go on and on

have written to Christy Clark and Terry Lake regarding our dissatisfaction with the surgical wait list in the Okanagan. My husband was put on a wait list for hip surgery in October 2013 and told it should be about 18 months, about April of this year. In the spring, the hospital phoned to say it will probably be winter. A Ms. Downey, writing for Sharon Stewart, who is executive director of some department in the health ministry, with copies to Clark and Lake (so maybe they saw my letter?), replied. Our concerns relate to when you have patients, such as my husband, waiting for this length of time for surgery and their mobility becomes so severely compromised, the rehabilitation and ensuing costs of that increase, not to mention the severe effect on his general health because of this lack of mobility. Her answer to wait lists was, "A patient’s priority for surgery is determined by the surgeon; each surgeon manages his or her own wait list and schedules surgeries according to their patients’ medical urgency, the length of time spent on the wait list, and the amount of time the surgeon is allocated in the operating rooms. Operating room time is contingent on a number of factors, including the availability of medical professionals, equipment, medication, and bed space. Shortages in any of these areas can impact operating room availability and wait times.” So basically, it is the surgeon's responsibility? I don’t think so. How can a surgeon operate if he does not get operating room time, or there are no beds for surgical patients available? We have two new floors going into the Vernon hospital and there are no surgical beds being made available. Ms. Downey suggested my husband go back to his doctor to get his condition upgraded or get WATER REBUTTAL I am replying as an old farmer in this area to Mr. Sutch and also the complainer about agricultural water use. First of all, your water in Vernon is special, from a special source, treated especially so you can drink it and cook with it. Please note your laundry and showers aren't all done at night are they? So you water your garden at night. Farmers pay for water rights on designated rivers and lakes up in those range hills. Most are paying fees for their cattle to range up there too.

on a cancellation list. Really! My husband has been back to his doctor numerous times and the doctor is as frustrated as he is. Of course my husband has deteriorated and so has everyone on the list. He is not unique. So how does a doctor decide who is the worst? They are all bad. And the cancellation list, the surgeries that get cancelled because of no beds. I have phoned seven different orthopaedic surgeons in the Lower Mainland and they all say that yes they will take my husband as a patient and he will go on their wait list. Their wait list is six to eight months. That is the length of time he has left now. If we had known the shorter wait lists at the time he was told he needed surgery, we would have put him on one of those lists and he would have had his surgery by now. Why do we have to go out of the area that we live in to insure that we get the health care coverage that the rest of the province gets? We pay the same amount for this coverage, but are made to wait over double to triple the length of time. I can see the wait times at www.health. gov.bc.ca and I cannot see how that information

One of you mentioned to grow wheat. If we did, we would all be fat and dried up. Most of our agriculture is dairy, beef and orchards (no smokey, heatproducing factories). Milk and meat and fruit keep us healthy and if you are a vegetarian we grow that too. Daily evaporation keeps Vernon's air healthier and it comes back in humidity and dew. It keeps our North Okanagan a great place to live and our Vernon a flourishing city. A rain barrel at the corner of your eavestroughs to save rain water is good for your special plants and they

will help me. They are certainly not accurate for this health authority or are these wait times, from the time the patient is put on a wait list or are they from the time they are actually given a date for the surgery, as I have been told they are? Regardless, why are the wait times in the Okanagan the longest in the province? We are not in the tax bracket to go out of the country for this surgery, and I wonder why we would have to even consider it. We have paid taxes and health care to this province for most of our life and I feel that the surgical health care we get in the Okanagan is atrocious. s We live off the infamous Westside Road and are sort of caught in the middle for representation. Eric Foster represents the Vernon area, which is the area we go to for our basic needs, but Ms. Clark is our MLA. Therefore, I am sending her a copy of this as well. I realize I cannot obtain an immediate solution to this problem, but for a government who professes to have accountability in their ministries and to their constituents, I feel there has to be some direction that we could have to help provide a solution to our problem. Obviously, none of my comments are going to make any difference to my husband's situation. The wait lists will continue and my husband will continue to become more and more debilitated and his quality of life will degenerate more and more. The only voice we have is our vote and I truly hope that with the increasing number of seniors that are in this province and the more surgeries that are required and delayed, these seniors will see a correlation between who is government and what is happening with the health care system. Donnalee Huey

love it. I have only one thing to say to you who are not happy with Vernon's water rates, Penticton is a lovely place too. Why aren't you living there? M.E. Massey HOSPITAL LAUNDRY I am appalled at the proposal to close the hospital laundries, which IHA management sees as cost-saving. Beyond those lost jobs and the salaries spent in the community, there is a greater issue here. It boggles the mind that trucking contaminated linen away from the hospital is a sane solution.

Just ask the nursing staff about the many occasions when a frantic call had to be placed to the laundry to provide clean linen as there was an increased patient care need. Ask the families of folks in residential care if they are prepared to writeoff the personal items like dentures and sweaters that have accidentally ended up in the laundry, and now they are somewhere in Alberta. Granted, there would be the savings of those HEU salaries but frankly, most people who saw the receiving end of those odious bags would agree that it is well-earned. P. Findlay

NO RESPONSE In the 2011 election, Mr. Harper’s handlers dressed him in sweaters to make him seem more “human." This year they might want to hook him up to a heart monitor. His lack of response to the findings of Truth and Reconciliation Commission make it hard for me to believe he is one of us. Stephen Harper makes me ashamed to be a Canadian. B. Cousins

square foot structure with a unique and modern design that presented its challenges to the students. “This was a big project and far more complex than anything that we normally do,” said Okanagan College construction instructor Rob Barton. “These students really stepped up. There was a lot done and it was done safely so we couldn’t ask for anything more. It was quite a challenging build for these students.” The students completed building the structure nearly to lock-up stage with a basement and main floor featuring angled windows and roof and using many new building technologies. Working with a crew of students fit nicely with the community-aspect of the new building for the Lake Country Food Bank, but also meant at times, things moved slower than a regular construction job. “I think it was a great experience for the students,” said Rotarian Tom Roth, who owns Immaculate Construction in Lake Country and is the construction manager. “Every day we were more optimistic on how much was going to get done. You have to think of safety procedures and keeping 10 people that are not so experienced moving and keeping them safe. “Even though there were more bodies sometimes it moved slower but we have it this far and it feels nice. I got the feel from the students that they were proud to be working on it. “They worked really hard to get this to where it is.” Food bank manager Phyllis MacPherson was on hand to thank the OC students and said she was thrilled by the progress and excited for the potential of the new building. “This is beautiful,” she said. “This fits my vision of an open floor plan. I can visualize it. I’m so excited. I can hardly wait to get in here.” Plans are to have the project completed by November.

Lazar reflects on rookie year KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

He endured a coaching change, scored six goals, was a healthy scratch a few times, earned loads of key playoff ice, won 50 per cent of his faceoffs against Sidney Crosby and took a break to captain Canada to a world junior hockey gold medal. Oh, and he made the TSN Plays of the Night for eating a hamburger thrown on the ice in honour of Ottawa Senator teammate Andrew Hammond. Year 1 in the NHL featured a little bit of everything for Vernon’s ever-smiling Curtis Lazar. “Highs and lows, a rollercoaster ride,” summed up the 20-year-old forward. “You have to pinch yourself too because you get to the point where this is the pinnacle of hockey, this is every kid’s dream to make it to the NHL. For me, to do it it at the age of 19 was pretty cool. “You don’t know what to expect going in. Lots of trial and error. You’re going to fail some days, you’re going to succeed the others, but you learn pretty quick what it takes to play in the league and what it’s all about. You get treated like gold off the ice.” Lazar, whose birthday is in February, finished with 15 points, 14 penalty minutes and was a plus-1. He knows bigger stats will come in time and he’s putting the work in this summer to get faster and stronger. “I’m renting an apartment in Kelowna for the summer and I’ll be working with a trainer and skating with other NHL guys (CNC Centre). It will be kind of cool this summer because they’ll know who I am.” That perma-grin you saw Lazar wear with the Memorial Cup champion Edmonton Oil Kings is still there with the Senators. “I know you’re out there playing with men and guys are a little bit older, but inside we’re all boys at heart. And it’s no different than any teams you have in minor hockey growing up, or junior. We’re out there having fun, playing the game we love, and it’s tough to beat. I wanna enjoy it all and soak it up.” A first-round draft pick – 17th overall – of the Sens two years ago, Lazar compares his status to veteran Kings’ captain Dustin Brown, who was chosen 13th overall by Los Angeles in 2003. “Dustin Brown had one goal and five points (31 games) his rookie year with L.A. and played some in the AHL,” said Lazar. “If I can follow in his footsteps, I’d be happy.” Brown, who plays a similar physical style to Lazar, has since registered five 20-plus goal seasons, including a 33-snipe show. Lazar loved playing for Paul MacLean and was sad to see him get fired as head

coach in early December. “Coach MacLean, he was awesome to me right off the bat, he really helped me out getting my feet wet in the NHL. It was a real eye-opener seeing a move like that happen so early in the season. Coach (Dave) Cameron came in and he was kind of the good assistant coach that everyone went to so he had to change a little bit and we knew that. “He had a couple of animated freakouts on the bench during TV timeouts but you could see how poised he is throughout he playoffs. There is never a sense of panic with him and that rubbed off on our team. Even being down 3-0 to Montreal, we still knew we had a chance and we kept on clawing away. Unfortunately, Carey Price (of the Canadiens) was out there. It’s a good spot to be OTTAWA SENATORS HOCKEY CLUB PHOTOS in, knowing Dave Cameron is Curtis Lazar celebrates his first NHL goal on Sabre goalie Jhonas Enroth; holds historic puck in dressing room. gonna be back next year.

Lazar expects more Continued from A11

“I could see that too as I started carrying the puck more and tried to beat defenders, I got more room because they had to respect my skill.” Lazar got what he thought was going to be a light-hearted call from his Kelowna Pursuit of Excellence coach Evan Marble early in the second half of the year. “Marbs is one of the best coaches I’ve had for a reason. He taught me a lot. I had him my second year Bantam which is a big draft year. He told me if I had a good year, I may get drafted (WHL) and by the end of the year, I was in the conversation for the top-3. It was a big year for growth and development. He taught me how to be professional away from the game and how to conduct myself on the ice as well. “To hear his voice was good, but I wasn’t expecting to get chewed out for 20 minutes. I totally agreed with him. Just being able to talk to someone about that goes a long ways because I know the type of player I am when I have that extra gear in me. I’m pretty tough to stop when regardless of what level I’m playing with or who I’m playing against. I really wanted to show that side of me and shortly after that, I had my three goals in four games and I said, ‘You know what, I can do this.’ “A lot of it is mental. I’m a kid. You deal with a lot. All of my friends are going to school and stuff where I’m living the dream. You have to grow up fast.” Living with longtime Sens’ d-man Chris Phillips and family – where the nanny did Lazar’s laundry – had him eating healthy and gave him a role model 24-7.

Tigers to open with Rocks Morning Star Staff

Fierce rivals will meet in the first round of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League playoffs. The regular season champion Vernon Sun Valley Source For Sports Tigers will face the Armstrong Shamrocks in a best-of-five league semifinal staring Tuesday at Kal Tire Place (7:30 p.m.). The matchup became official Thursday when the Shamrocks (5-10) fell 16-9 to the Raiders in Kelowna. Armstrong needed to win its final two games to finish third, which would have meant a date with the South Okanagan Flames in round one. Vernon and Armstrong closed out the regular season Saturday with the Shamrocks in Kamloops to take on the Venom, and the Tigers looked to make league history by becoming the first team to go a perfect 16-0 as they entertained the Flames.

Cam McMillan and Quinn Johnson Plant each had seven-point games to lead the Raiders (1-14-1). Joel Castle led a shorthanded Shamrocks squad with 5+1 with the other goals coming from Sam Hanley, Liam Drabiuk, Nich Yadernuck and Kaden Sagh. Ryan Martin had four assists. Goalies Cole Macfarlane and Kalvin Davyduke combined to make 51 saves as the Raiders outshot Armstrong 67-54. Game 2 in the Tigers-Shamrocks series will be Thursday, 7:30 p.m., at Nor-Val Sports Centre, and Game 3 returns to Kal Tire Place Saturday, July 11 (7:30 p.m.). The Flames have home-floor advantage in their semifinal with Kamloops. The league final is slated to start on Friday, July 17.

After just two years of fencing, Jake Bennett has two provincial gold medals around his neck. Bennett repeated as champion in the Y12 épée event held at the Olympic Oval in Richmond last weekend. Bennett, who is coached by both Brendan Robertson of the School District Fencing Club and Matt Clarke of Okanagan Freestyle Fencing, beat Ketki Ketkar of Seattle for the gold. Teammate Chris Vermeulen captured the bronze. In the Junior event, recent Kal grad

David Enns lost by one point in the final to take silver while his schoolmate Chris Dlouhy also came home with silver in the Cadet category. Miguel Lefevre and Keara Govender both won bronze medals for their performances in the Y14 events. In the senior men’s épée class, Clarke, coming off of a superb showing at the nationals where he placed seventh, ended his season with a ninth. Robertson finished 15th and also managed to win a silver medal in the veterans division.

Tony and Christine Gutenberg, married July 3, 1965, continue to reside in Lumby.

Gutenbergs celebrate 50 years Tony and Christine Gutenberg celebrated their 50th anniversary July 3. They first met in the fall of 1960, while Chris worked as a waitress at a café in Lumby on the weekends. Tony and three other men used to come in for banana cream pie and coffee every Sunday morning. They always pestered the waitresses for dates. Christine remembers telling the other waitress, “I would never go out with that guy!”

L

ast week I visited the Gleaners Plant in Lavington and was blown away by the scope of their operations. Did you know that more than five million meals each year are processed and shipped from the Gleaners to countries such as Bosnia, Dominican Pat Black Republic, Guatemala, Ghana, Haiti, Jordan, Mexico, Moldova, North Korea, Tanzania, Ukraine, Zambia and Zimbabwe and elsewhere? Five million food servings come from our homes here in Greater Vernon and end up going around the world to feed millions of people. I find that remarkable. Quietly and humbly, dozens of volunteers are saving many lives and most of us who live here don’t even know it. The North Okanagan Valley Gleaners Society (“The Gleaners”) is a group of volunteers who take the opportunity to turn surplus food crops into nutritious meals for a hungry world. In addition, they collect donated medical equipment and distribute it to institutions in many countries. Distribution is done by reputable and established Christian aid organizations who have partnered with them to make sure that the

She has since learned never to say never, as four years later she met Tony again and the result was their marriage on July 3, 1965. Tony worked for Weyerhaeuser Forest Products for 36 years and Christine worked for School District #22 for 30-plus years. They seem to be busier now in retirement mode than when they were working. They keep busy going for drives up in the bush (looking for huckleberries or hidden

lakes), watching hockey games, and playing cards with friends and family. Fifty years later they still reside in the Whitevale area of Lumby. They have three daughters, two son in-laws, and five grandchildren. Tony doesn’t get pie every Sunday anymore, but that is OK as Christine always has some kind of baking around to snack on. Their family wishes Tony and Christine a happy 50th anniversary.

food and equipment is reaching people who need it the most. To produce this amount of food servings in 2014, more than 750,000 pounds of vegetables and fruits came into the plant and was used with about one third coming from local growers and the rest donated by growers and others from Kelowna, Kamloops and further afield. Along with the soup mix, apple snacks are also being widely distributed, thanks to BC Tree Fruits Cooperative in Winfield. Many local growers and producers are also regular donators to the cause and make up the community circle. The food that is shipped is in the form of a bag of dehydrated soup mix that can be mixed with water, feeds 100 people. Donations of fresh, dried and frozen vegetables - potatoes, beets, onions, garlic, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, lentils, peas, beans, etc. are received throughout the year in quantities that range from a few pounds to many thousands of pounds. Local volunteers from this area process the produce and then everything is then chopped into small pieces and spread onto pans before being loaded into the dehydrators. At the end of the year when a good variety of ingredients have been gathered, the volunteers combine them all into a flavorful soup mix, bag them and place them in drums and ship them out. Similar to the process for veg-

etables, apples are diced and then dried and bagged in 100 cup servings as well. How much does it cost to produce five million meals and how do the Gleaners do this? The cost is very little with lots of local donations by growers and hours and hours of volunteer time. The miracle here is that a small community with simple resources can feed millions in the third world by pooling resources, working together and offering goodwill so others less fortunate can survive. Additional costs of plant production comes almost entirely from the sale of used furniture at the Gleaner Used Furniture and Appliance Store at 4405 29 St., Vernon. A major donation of the payment of rent and utilities is made annually by the kind donations of the plant building owners, the Jensen Family, which allows the plant to function. The Gleaners Plant is truly a community endeavour as well as a well-run operation with the volunteers coming from all over the area and arriving at about 8 a.m. and usually leaving by noon. They perform all sorts of duties from coring apples to spreading food onto trays to going into the dehydrators and cleaning up the mess. They are a happy bunch and know their volunteer efforts are really appreciated by hungry, and sometimes starving, families. If you want to donate or have some time to spare, call Harold Sellers, manager, at 250 558-8872.

Hit the Good Cheer Trail Morning Star Staff

NOVA SCOTIA - The Nova Scotia Good Cheer Trail is Canada’s first winery, craft brewery and distillery trail. Launching in partnership with Nova Scotia Tourism Agency, the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) and Taste of Nova Scotia, the trail includes more than 35 beverage-specific culinary tourism experiences across Nova Scotia. “To strengthen Nova Scotia as a culinary tourism destination, the NSTA, in collaboration with our partners created the Good Cheer Trail,” said Patrick Sullivan, NSTA chief executive officer. “As home of North America’s oldest social club, the Order of Good Cheer, the Good Cheer Trail is a natural fit for Nova Scotia and is an innovative way to encourage visitors to see, and taste, more of Nova Scotia while experiencing what our artisanal wineries, breweries and distilleries have to offer.” The Good Cheer Trail celebrates Nova Scotia’s rich culinary history dating back to 1606, when Samuel de Champlain established the Order of Good Cheer in Port Royal. As the first gastronomic society in North America, the Order of Good Cheer raised the spirits of early settlers and set the tone for centuries of good Nova Scotian food, drink and fun. In its inaugural year, the Good Cheer Trail includes 14 wineries, 12 craft breweries, five distilleries, five brew pubs and two historical (Port Royal and Fortress of Louisbourg) experiences. The trail is an annual culinary tourism initiative and will run from June 1 to Oct. 31. From Yarmouth to Cape Breton, the trail weaves across landscapes, heritage sites, beaches, farmland and cities. “We know that food, drink and culinary experiences help define travel choices,” said Janice Ruddock, executive director of Taste of Nova Scotia. “We want tourists to choose Nova Scotia and we want locals to be proud of our products. The Good Cheer Trail is all about showing the world our quality wines, beers and spirits made by talented, passionate people who are proud to call Nova Scotia home.” Trail participants have been recruited through partnerships with the Craft Brewers Association, the Winery Association of Nova Scotia, the Nova Scotia Distillers Association, Taste of Nova Scotia and NSTA.

TV host reels in KingFisher boat TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff

With his new boat souped-up with stateof-the-art electronics, Tim Milne is ready to start filming his eighth season of Big Coast Sportsfishing. “I never would have guessed that we would make it to eight seasons,” said Milne, who hosts and produces the show. “But why stop now?” Milne and his crew fish the Inside Passage; Vancouver to Prince Rupert and out to the Pacific Ocean, while exploring every nook and cranny along the way. “We try to push the boundaries each year by exploring different areas. It allows the show to keep evolving,” said Milne. The Big Coast crew is able to stickhandle their way up the island thanks to their partnership with KingFisher Boats of Vernon. “This boat is basically from the James Bond kit, minus the arms,” joked Milne. Milne will be ripping around in the KingFisher Destination 2725 Offshore boat. It is 27-feet long and fresh off the assembly line. Mark Delaney is the director of sales and marketing with KingFisher and has known Milne for five years. “This new boat is easier for Tim and easier for us. This way he doesn’t have to install new gear each year,” said Delaney. Once Milne’s boat left the Okanagan, it headed to home base in Port Alberni. “It was so cool. I got to head into KingFisher each day and see my boat get built from the ground up,” said Milne. KingFisher cranks out 50 to 100 boats similar to the Destination model each year and they are the No. 1 distributor in the west. Filming is already underway for the latest season of Big Coast. Previous episodes run Sunday mornings on Sportsnet. The new season premiers at the beginning of December. Milne’s boat is equipped with a pair of Yamaha SHO motors, electronics by Raymarine and plenty of room for fish. “We mostly fish for Chinook salmon, but we are going to go 50 to 60 kilometres off the coast this year and try to catch some albacore tuna,” said Milne. “It’s something new and tuna fishing is really taking off out there.” Some of the albacore they will reel in will weigh up to 50 pounds. “This boat is perfect for the show. It can act as a sports car on the water, cruising at 60 miles per hour and it’s very manoeuvrable so we can fit in tight spaces and not worry about crashing into anything,” said Milne.

TYLER LOWEY/MORNING STAR

Tim Milne takes his new KingFisher boat out for a spin at the Vernon Yacht Club. He is the host and producer of the Big Coast Sportsfishing TV show, which is entering its eighth season. “Where we take this boat, the navigation is trickier than the fishing. This technology is really going to help us out.” Early mornings at Port Hardy are barely drivable. The fog is so thick that Milne can hardly see past his boat. Milne and the boat have left Vernon for the filming season. They normally film the show April to October, but were delayed waiting for the boat to finish. Delaney fishes the Shuswap a few times and makes one trip out to the ocean each year, and is also a huge fan of the show. “What Tim does is different from other shows. He is less focused on gear and different products used to catch fish and more focused on the West Coast lifestyle. He shows you the scenery, the salmon run and the people,” said Delaney. “Tim has a winning formula. He’s fun, easy on the eyes, he goes to different areas, has great guests and you are guaranteed a great day fishing with him.” Milne cut his teeth as a writer for The Hockey News after he attended Ryerson University in Toronto. Milne previously filmed a heli-skiing and snowboarding show called Sacred Ride. Once he became too old to jump out of a helicopter, he landed on his fishing show. “We shot a few episodes just as a lark up by Bella Coola with some friends, and it just so happened we were all fishermen. After that, the fishing show kind of just took off,” said Milne.

BANNISTER HONDA “A Family Business, with Family Values ”

6425 Hwy 97 N, Vernon BC

DL# 8718

As a single mom of three busy boys, when Abby McDonald isn’t caring for her family, she is working to support them. She works so hard, in fact, that since starting at McDonald’s Restaurant five years ago, she has made her way to the top as general manager. But it’s not just the paycheque and discounted Happy Meals that McDonald loves about her job. The fact that McDonald’s serves a substantial amount of support to families whose children are facing tough medical challenges through Ronald McDonald House, makes her proud to work there. Families just like hers. McDonald’s youngest son, Andre Lingao McDonald, three, recently underwent his second heart surgery at B.C. Children’s Hospital. The surgeries are to correct a heart defect, detected when Abby was just five months pregnant with Andre. His first surgery took place in September 2011, followed by the second this past April. Having the Ronald McDonald House made such a difference in this family’s difficult journey, allowing Abby to just focus on her family and not worry about anything else. “All I want is to take care of Andre while at Ronald McDonald House, be ready for his surgery, spend more time with him and convince myself that everything will be OK,” said Abby. Thanks to all the volunteers who cook dinner for 60 to 80 people each day, she was able to do just that. “Every child with medical condition can enjoy their stay at the house because they provide the needs of the families,” said Abby. Calling it a “home away from home,” Abby explains how2015 closeACCORD everyone is, despite not know2015 ACCORD † ing each other.

Each year, the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan gives away $ half a million dollars to support a wide range of community needs. Support from the Community Foundation goes in two ways: • Grants go out each Fall from endowment funds where the donor has specified a charity or group of charities as beneficiaries, • Grants go out each Spring to charitable groups who have applied to the Foundation’s annual Community Grants cycle. The “Smart & Caring Community Campaign” aims to grow our endowment to $17 million by 2017. Our unique approach to philanthropy involves investing pooled donor gifts to create a perpetual source of income for charities. To find out how YOU can contribute to our “Smart & Caring Community Campaign” – call Leanne at 250.542.8655 or check us out at www.CFNO.org

“A gift to the Smart & Caring Community Campaign is an investment in our community’s future. Community Foundations are an innovative way to support a myriad of causes, today, tomorrow … forever.” - Michael Tindall, Past President

Trainer learns to be fit of mind to succeed Cara Brady Morning Star Staff

Cara Brady/Morning Star

Jes Hatt found that improving his literacy skills gave him the confidence to start his dream personal training business, Hatt Fitness. The Junction Literacy Centre provides information on a variety of adult literacy programs in the community.

Jes Hatt struggled at school. He graduated and always worked, but at 35 he felt he still hadn’t found the job that used his full potential, skills and interests. “I always felt stupid at school and had low self esteem. I could read and write, but I knew I could do more if I improved. It was scary to think about going back to any kind of school situation,” he said. Hatt heard about a personal training certificate program at Okanagan College, something he had always been interested in. The catch was that he would have to upgrade his literacy and study skills. The college, which has one of several adult literacy programs in the area, was there to help him. “The college is one of the partners in adult literacy,” said Wendy Aasen, executive director of Junction Literacy Centre, which provides literacy programs for people of all ages. Hatt was partnered with a tutor to help him with the course. “Peter (Pershin) is an amazing man who understood what I wanted to achieve and how I learned, in a kinaesthetic, hands-on way. I have always done well in sports and I wanted to share my enthusiasm about its benefits with others as a personal trainer,” said Hatt. “Going to college was intimidating for me but Peter helped me to believe in myself. He showed me how to use my way

of learning to help myself, how to study and take tests properly, things I hadn’t been able to learn at school because of how it was presented.” Hatt used his natural way of learning to get his certificate and do all the necessary work to start his personal training business, Hatt Fitness. Now, at 40, he is where he wants to be and can see lots of potential.

“Don’t let anyone tell you that you don’t have the courage to be successful.” — Jes Hatt

“I started with a mobile business so I could go to people where they were, to give them more opportunity to get fit. I work with individuals and small groups wherever they want, at their own homes and often outside in parks. I wanted people to get motivated and have fun. Some people need to start at home because it is difficult to go to a gym. “Women particularly have issues with body image and need to feel comfortable and encouraged, for their health and for their looks. I had one client who lost 85 pounds once she could believe in herself and that she deserved to be fit and healthy.” Hatt credits his late father with reminding him that life is

short and he had to go for what he wanted. “I wasted 17 years when I could have been doing what I wanted. Sometimes we need to be challenged to do what we want to take care of ourselves in the ways we need. I want everybody to be able to reach their dreams and goals. When you are ready, there is someone there to help you,” he said. “I want this life to use me to help others to the best that I can but I needed some help to be able to do what I’m doing. I get a gift when I see somebody learn to do something they couldn’t do before.” Hatt’s van is loaded with what he calls toys — balls, ropes and weights that he uses in imaginative ways to keep clients interested and challenged. “Improving my literacy skills helped me in all areas of my life. I was able to give a speech at the funeral of a friend, not that I wanted that situation but I wanted to honour my friend and I could not have done it before. It is important that we are all doing our best. Don’t let anyone tell you that you don’t have the courage to be successful. Learn how you learn and go for it,” said Hatt. “The tutoring is free. That was the gift. I was gambling on myself and I didn’t know what was going to happen. You never know what you can do until you try.” For more information on adult literacy programs, contact Junction Adult Literacy or Okanagan College.

Adult literacy network identifies needs in community Morning Star Staff

The Literacy Junction Centre and Okanagan College are just some of the local organizations working together to support adult literacy Together, through the Adult Literacy Service Providers Network, these groups meet regularly to learn about each other’s services for referral purposes, identify and develop actions to address gaps, and discuss

how they can partner better to serve adults in the community with literacy needs. This may range from navigating information systems at the library, accessing ESL and employment services, upgrading courses for graduation, and providing one-to-one support for seniors learning computer technology. “While each of the organizations involved in this service provision witness gaps and may experience frustration due to the lim-

its of their capacity of funding, they each have many success stories to report,” said Wendy Aasen, executive director of Junction Literacy Centre. Some of those other organizations include Community Futures, Okanagan Regional Library, Vernon and District Immigrant Society, Nexus BC, Kindale Developmental Association, and the Vernon School District. Recently the network put together an action

plan to define specific needs and implement actions to address them. This will become part of the district/community literacy plan as administered through the Junction Literacy Centre and funded by the province through Decoda Literacy Solutions, a provincial literacy support organization. An online library with resources useful to community and service providers is available at www.decoda.ca.

The story behind the Okanagan Military Tattoo Find out what David Thompson, a Voyageur canoe race, and the bagpipes have to do with starting a tattoo in Vernon Moira Mccall Special to The Morning Star

“In 1807 David Thompson looked down at the Columbia River north of present-day Golden. He was searching for a way to the Pacific,” said Norm Crerar, producer and director of the Okanagan Military Tattoo. I’ve asked him how a military tattoo in Vernon came to be. I realize that this is going to be a long story. Crerar’s friends call him a visionary and his current passion has developed over many years. It involves a Canadian explorer, the 1967 Centennial Voyageur canoe race, a traveling stage show and some bagpipes. The tradition of the military tattoo originated in Belgium around 1600 when British drummers marched, summoning soldiers back to quarters and signalling to innkeepers with “doe den tap toe,” meaning “turn off the tap too.” Shortened to “tap toe” and eventually “tattoo,” this ritual has evolved into international celebrations of music and entertainment. “Most successful tattoos have military installations close by,” said Crerar. Vernon is home of the oldest cadet training centre in Canada. The first troops trained here in 1912, and each summer about 1,200 cadets attend the centre. Last year about 200 of them took part in the inaugural Okanagan Military Tattoo. A life-altering event for Crerar was participating in the 1967 Centennial Voyageur Canoe Pageant, from Rocky Mountain House to Montreal. This 104-day canoe race, with 100 other young Canadian men, developed his deep respect for the early explorers and a passion for the great country

The lord Strathcona Horse Mounted Troop is part of the okanagan Military Tattoo and performs at the iPE fairgrounds in armstrong, Friday, July 24. of Canada. But what does this have to do with a military tattoo? About a decade ago, plans were underway to re-enact the bicentennial of Thompson’s 1808 voyageur canoe trip from Rocky Mountain House to Thunder Bay. A shorter trial-run, the Columbia River Brigade, paddling from Canal Flats to Trail B.C., was organized for 2007. Crerar wanted to incorporate a theatrical component to entertain residents in communities along the route. “You don’t know me,” was how Crerar began a phone call in early 2007 to Dave Brotsky and Lorraine Johnson Brotsky, well known in Vernon for designing theatrical productions. This was the beginning of the creative partnership that, along with sound videographer Randy Jones, is now the production team behind today’s Okanagan Military Tattoo. For the 2007 Columbia River Brigade, Brotsky built a mobile stage. The stage and

crew traveled by road and joined the brigade at communities on route. A nightly show told Thompson’s story. In 1784, the 14-year-old Thompson arrived at Churchill and within three decades he traveled 90,000 kilometres by foot and canoe, surveying and mapping more than 3.9 million square kilometres. Crerar had decided to learn to play the bagpipes because there was no money for a piper and he played Amazing Grace at the end of each performance. The Bicentennial David Thompson Brigade took place in 2008, but there were insufficient resources to include a stage production. However, Crerar continued playing his bagpipes and in 2010, he participated with the Kalamalka Highlanders Pipe Band in a performance at BC Place. Being immersed in a mass band of 400 was a powerful experience. He imagined it felt like being in a military tattoo. “When I had that epiphany, the first per-

son I told was Derek Hall,” said Crerar. Hall, a former Vernon councillor, is a history buff with experience in fundraising and promotional work. Then there was a second phone call to the Brotskys. “Do you want to do a tattoo?” asked Crerar. That began an 18-month project which resulted in the inaugural Okanagan Military Tattoo in August, 2014. An imposing castle and miles of black curtains transformed Kal Tire Place into a theatre. Brotsky handled the lighting, Jones manned the sound booth, and Johnson Brotsky was the stage manager. With more than 500 performers, and two well attended performances, it was a resounding success. This year there are two related events. A performance of the Lord Strathcona’s Horse Mounted Troop will be at the Interior Provincial Exhibition fairgrounds in Armstrong July 24 at 7 p.m. Soldiers on horseback and dressed in period costume will execute a musical ride. Bands and other tattoo performers will also perform. The actual tattoo is scheduled at Kal Tire Place in Vernon July 25 at 7 p.m. and July 26 at 2 p.m. The RCMP Ceremonial Troop will be joined by the Delta Police and Winnipeg Police Pipe Bands, the Band of the 15th Field Artillery Regiment, the Royal Canadian Artillery Band and the Vancouver Naval Veterans’ Band. The 100-plus voice tattoo choir, local pipe bands, Highland and Irish dancers and other exciting talent will entertain and inspire everyone from grandparents to teens and toddlers. Crerar knows that the success of the Okanagan Military Tattoo is largely due to its army of volunteers. “Last year we had more than 150 volunteers. Just like a voyageur canoe, if everyone paddles at the same time, the canoe moves ahead quickly.” David Thompson would be proud. For tickets and information, visit www. okanagantattoo.ca.

Get a good view of art in the Valley when OK Be St. opens at Headbones Morning Star Staff

Visitors and locals alike will be able to get an overview of what kind of artwork is being produced in the Okanagan when OK Be St. opens at Headbones Gallery Friday. OK Be St. is a group show with recent and significant works by a number of well known artists working throughout the Okanagan and Shuswap regions, from Penticton to Salmon Arm. Many of these artists were featured in the book, Okanagan Artists in their Studios by Patricia Ainslie (Frontenac Press, 2012). “The Valley is unique with a high concentration of professional artists, many with national and international exhibition schedules,” said Headbones owner and artist Julie Oakes. “Although not representative or entirely inclusive of all the great work being done in the Okanagan, Headbones is proud to

present a selection of the some of the best from the area.” The work is diverse, from the high realism of John Hall, Joice Hall and Diane Feught, through to the distorted zaniness of Jen Dyck, Briar Craig, Leonard Epp and Byron Johnston, to the expressive works of Doug Alcock, David Alexander and Robert Dmytruk. Vernon artists featured include metal sculptor Doug Alcock, and abstract artists Heidi Thompson and Bryan Ryley. Also showing in the exhibition is Falkland and Canadian master artist Ann Kipling, who along with Oakes and Salmon Arm’s Jen Dyck and Steve Mennie, is currently exhibiting at the Oh Canada show at The West Beth Center in New York City. Penticton’s Glenn Clark, whose hockey themed exhibition, Wackem Sackem, was a Headbones’ favourite,

is back with new work. He joins Lake Country’s Jim Kalnin and Okanagan Nation artist David Wilson, known for his painted deer hide drums, as well as Kelowna photographer Fern Helfand and Mary McCulloch, who will be reflecting on aspects of Okanagan fruit. Headbones will also present large, new paintings by Kelowna’s Gary Pearson, which reference to social and psychological subject matter, and a triptych by Kelowna artist Joice Hall, from her Day of the Dead series completed in 1989 and shown in a number of exhibitions in Mexico and Calgary. OK Be St. opens Friday from 6 to 9 p.m. with the artists in attendance and the public welcome. The exhibition continues to Aug. 29. Headbones is located at 6700 Old Kamloops Rd. Gallery hours are noon to 6 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday or call (250) 542-8987 for an appointment.

Throw this bear a bone

T

Ted 2:

ed, (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) is a teddy bear brought to life by his best friend John’s (Mark Wahlberg) magical wish, cast some 30-odd years ago. Now grown up, Ted and his human wife Tami-Lynn (Jessica Barth) want to have a baby, but the adoption agency can’t help them as Ted is not legally a person. Ted and John hire Samantha (Amanda Seyfried), a lawyer needing her first case, to prove to the courts that Ted the living teddy bear is a real person and entitled to the rights of a human being. We say, “MacFarlane is a culture cancer.” TAYLOR: Ted the crude, pot-smoking perpetual teenage bear is back and I couldn’t possibly care less. Ted 2, the brilliantlytitled sequel to the mind-numbingly base original has everything the first did, only the barbs have been updated so that 14 year olds will get the reference. Nobody is going to appreciate about 30 per cent of the jokes in this movie in 20 years. In fact, place this film and most work by Seth MacFarlane in a time capsule and in 100 years, future teenagers will marvel at how we thought being ignorant, violent and cruel was so funny. Or perhaps,

Yes, it still has the same attributes as the first, but they seemed to have calmed it down a notch or two, maybe to pull in a younger audience. But it is still as bad as ever. I might have smiled once, maybe twice, out of a nearly two-hour movie, and that’s not a good return. There are stars that have small cameos in it and for the life of me, I don’t understand why they

Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman, I thought you were both better than this. TAYLOR: Well, it didn’t make me laugh, but it made the teenage boys present snicker. If you like Family Guy, go see Ted 2. It will be very comfortable for you. You’ll only yawn a few times. Those who want to go to Ted 2 are likely not reading a review of

it in the paper. You, the person actually reading this review (thank you) wouldn’t want to see Ted 2. There may be exceptions, but I’d put money on our efforts in ink today being as wasted as MacFarlane’s efforts in celluloid.

Dinner is served at orchard Morning Star Staff

Gatzke Orchard’s GO Foodism dinner series is launching for a second season. Award winning B.C. chefs are scheduled to prepare four-course dinners at the orchard overlooking Kalamalka Lake. Visitors can also engage with beverage purveyors and farmers from around B.C. “GO Foodism! was a seven-year dream, with many different names but always the same concept,” said orchard owner Alan Gatzke. “This concept finally became a successful reality in 2014, with great praise and popularity from our patrons. We are honoured to welcome some of the most prestigious culinary creatives to our dream in 2015.” The popular culinary event showcases highly skilled local chefs in an interactive and educational experience for patrons. Before their meal, guests will explore the property alongside those who raised the crops, and can sample beverages from handpicked purveyors from across the Okanagan. The event culminates with a signature meal, featuring the farmers and chefs who contributed to the feast, creating a well rounded experience for guests to increase their awareness of the benefits of growing and eating local foods. Chefs expected to partake in the event are former Vernon resident and Table 24 executive chef David Colombe, Okanagan College’s culinary arts manager Bernard Casavant and fellow instructor Geoffrey Couper, Rod Butters, owner of Kelowna’s RauDZ Regional Table, and Westcoast Resorts executive chef Glenn Gatzke. GO Foodism! runs on selected Sundays

HEALTH TIP SAM NOLAN

brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist

The internet has thousands of testimonials for health products. These testimonials are often phoney. You’ll find a person saying how they were skeptical about the product at one time and now are believers and they do that for many products. Save your money! How can you prevent Alzheimer’s? Good scientific studies have shown that if a person is bilingual, has normal blood pressure and does exercise for 30 to 40 minutes, the risk of getting Alzheimer’s is significantly reduced. Don’t choose sunglasses based on the darkness of the lens. Look for “no less than 99% UV protection” on the label. Wearing good eye protection during the summer will protect against sun-induced macular degeneration and cataracts. With all the talk about vitamin D during the past couple of years, it’s understandable to be a little confused over how much we need each day. It used to be that 400 IU daily was the right amount. Now, doses of 2000 IU to 4000 IU are being recommended and some sources say as much as 8000IU is the answer. The right answer is probably in the 2000IU range. What is known is that people that are overweight should take a little more. If you have questions about vitamin D or any other vitamin, our pharmacists can give you the answers.

First of all, I would like to wish all of my American readers a most enjoyable Independence Day. Henry David Thoreau said, “To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, not even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity and trust.” To be a philosophic bridge player, you need independence of thought - perhaps except when on defense. Then often, but not always, you and your partner must be of the same mind in how to defeat the contract. In this deal, for example, how should East and

West card to defeat four hearts after West leads the diamond ace? Note South’s advance of two hearts, which showed 9-11 points. Many players reply to a takeout double by mentioning a suit without a jump, whatever their pointcount. They expect partner to be psychic. When you have game-invitational values, jump in a suit. Yes, you would prefer to have a five-card suit, but there are times when you have to hope for the best. Under the diamond ace, East must play his queen. When you cannot win the trick, because someone has already played a card higher than your best, follow suit with the top of touching honors. So, the queen guarantees the jack as well

(unless it is a singleton). That should point West in the right direction. At trick two, he shifts to his singleton spade. Then, he grabs the first round of trumps and leads a low diamond to put East on play. When East returns a spade, West ruffs it for the setting trick.

James Tyler Folden July 7, 1991- June 28, 2015

We are heartbroken to announce the sudden passing of James Tyler Folden, of Lumby, on June 28 at the age of 23. James is survived by his beloved fiancÊ Chelsea Bilodeau and his beautiful seven-week-old daughter Briar Folden; his mother Tammy Folden (and her partner Michael Mooney) his father Kerry Folden and stepfather of many years Dennis Stranack. He is also survived by his brothers Luke Folden and Kelty Folden and his sister Raene Folden as well as his step sister Meaghan Stranack and step brothers Hales Stranack and Dylan Petel. His Grandparents Art and Diana Folden, Keith Dixon (Marylin Dixon) and Leanna Rae Scott (Ira Tiffen) and StepGrandparents Ken and Eileen Stranack are also left to grieve. Also mourning James is Chelsea’s family Kevin Bilodeau, Margie Bilodeau (Dana Plecas), Dallyce Bilodeau and Kyrsten Bilodeau (Blane King). James was part of a large and loving family and is also missed and loved by many Aunts, Uncles and Cousins across Canada and the United States, and so many precious friends from childhood buddies to more recent acquaintances. Our James was a creative, hard-working, hardplaying and also deeply thoughtful young man who cared very much about the well being of all other people and of the society and the world in which he lived. He took his new responsibility as a parent incredibly seriously and gave deep thought to how he could be the best father possible to his new daughter; a subject on which he regularly sought advice while never wavering from his own principles. A celebration of his shortened life and of how he touched all who knew him will be held Saturday July 11th, 2015 at 2 o’clock in the Pat Duke Memorial Arena - 2270 Shields Street, Lumby, BC. In lieu of flowers donations may be made at any Scotia Bank with account # 40170 02079 85 for baby Briar Folden. We love you, James, and we can’t believe you’re gone.

Reducing emissions

n May 15, the government of Canada announced its plan to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 30 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030. Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq also said that new regulatory measures will be developed in a responsible sector-by-sector approach to build on successes in GHG reductions to date. In 2013, Canada’s GHG emissions were 3.1 per cent lower than 2005 levels while the economy grew by 12.9 per cent over the same period. Now that our government has demonstrated that it is possible to reduce GHGs while growing Canada’s economy, we have made this commitment to continue the important work of reducing GHGs while driving the economy forward. In 2012, Canada was the first major coal user to ban the construction of traditional coal-fired electricity generation. Coal is the largest source of GHG in the world. Canada represents less than two per cent of all global carbon emissions and in comparison, the U.S. coal sector alone produces more GHGs than all of Canada. Through investments in research and the introduction of stricter emission guide-

lines, Canada is a leader in clean electrical generation with 79 per cent of Canada’s electricity being produced emission free. In the transportation sector our government has invested in public transit in our cities and has set fuel efficiency targets for our auto industry which has led to better fuel mileage Colin Mayes in newer vehicles. Likewise, Canada’s rail and commercial transport truck operators have also improved the fuel efficiency of the locomotives and tractors that they use to reduce emissions. The May 15 announcement, referred to as a nationally determined contribution, has also been formally submitted to the United Nations

Framework Convention on Climate Change. Our government is working with stakeholders in various sectors to meet our targets and achieve results without compromising our economy or implementing a job-killing

carbon tax. Environmental stewardship can only be judged on proven results and we are the first government in Canadian history to reduce GHGs and this proves our actions have worked.

than $10,000 to run for mayor and $5,000 for a council or school board seat, says a legislature committee on local election financing. For larger communities, a population-based formula would limit a mayoral campaign for a city of 150,000 residents to just under $90,000, with other municipal candidates limited to half that. The formula would limit a candidate for mayor of Victoria, population 80,000, to about $50,000, while Surrey’s population of 470,000 would mean a cap of $180,000 to run for mayor. The small town limits apply to communities up to 10,000 residents. For larger ones, mayoral candidates would be limited to $1 per capita for the first 15,000 people, 55 cents per capita up to 150,000, 60 cents per capita for 150,000 to 200,000 and only 15 cents for communities larger than that. The spending limits still have to be endorsed by the Legislature, but the B.C. Liberal and NDP members of the committee endorsed them unanimously.
