Arena up to voters
JAMMIN’ IN JUSTICE
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
It’s anticipated Greater Vernon residents will go to the polls this fall on a new arena. Behind-the-scenes efforts are progressing on replacing Civic Arena as an ice sheet with the twinning of Kal Tire Place. “We’re at the stage where the city has costed out a proposal and the four parties (jurisdictions) have agreed to a referendum in the fall,” said Bob Fleming, BX-Swan Lake director. The Regional District of North Okanagan had hoped to hold a borrowing referendum in November 2014 but the provincial government blocked that process because Kal Tire Place is owned by the City of Vernon. — Fleming To satisfy ministry guidelines, the new strategy is for the regional district to borrow the funds and own the new ice sheet. A long-term lease would place it in the hands of the city. “We can have the city manage it and make the operational decisions,” said Jim Garlick, Coldstream director. However, a firm date for a referendum still hasn’t been set because of an outstanding hurdle. “We are still working on getting approval from the ministry,” said Garlick It’s been decided to pursue a new ice sheet because Civic Arena is 78 years old and significant upgrades are required. “We could put more money into it but there’s a question of how much for how long?” said Fleming. “The money could be spent on a new facility.” If the borrowing referendum proceeds for possibly up to $13 million, Fleming admits residents will have to be convinced of the need for a new arena and the benefits to the community. “It will take some work to pass this one,” he said.
“It will take some work to pass this one.”

Greater Vernon residents are getting closer to using a new sports amenity. Contractors are moving ahead on final completion of most of the Greater Vernon Athletics Park, next to Okanagan College. “There will be a soft opening at the end of July. We will set a date when we get closer to it,” said Keith Pinkoski, Regional District of North Okanagan parks and recreation manager. Ocean Marker, a track surfacing contractor, has completed the high jump fan, the pole vault area and is now working on lanes seven, eight and nine. The final layer of track surfacing is also going down. The bleacher footings are complete and installed and the bleacher structure is expected to arrive in mid-August. “Landscape and irrigation is being worked on to ensure proper plant and grass germination,” said Pinkoski. “The building is now fully powered and the washroom amenities, sinks, toilets partitions are going in. The exterior work is currently underway with super panel concrete and aluminum-finish cladding.” It’s still not known when teams will hit the turf. “We hope to have football using it this year.”
Search resumes for Curtis Wilson
JENNIFER SMITH
Morning Star Staff
Curtis Wilson’s family is returning to Vernon to resume the search for their missing son/brother/uncle/friend. Curtis has yet to be found since his friend Shane Letkeman’s body was discovered in Kalamalka Lake, near Cosens Bay, three weeks ago. Curtis’ car was found at the end of Cosens Bay Road, past the cabin colony at the gate which Curtis Wilson blocks the road down to the lake. It is unknown what the friends were doing in the area, as they are from Lethbridge, Alta., but Curtis did live in Vernon for a short period about seven years ago with his family (who now reside in Grande Prairie. Police believe Curtis’ body is in the water.
Land and water searches took place but have since ceased, therefore the family is making efforts to find him, and some closure. Curtis’ older sister, Shanna Wilson, still wakes up each morning praying it’s all been a bad dream. And living 10 hours away, she feels almost helpless. “Right now I am just very focused on finding him,” said Shanna, who just wants closure for her and her family. They are coming to Vernon next weekend and have a search party planned and also have plans to bring a volunteer water search company in sometime in the next few weeks. “While I’m waiting for the water search begin I want to do what I can,” said Shanna of the land search. “I actually had a girl that I don’t even know say that she’d help and get together a bunch of her friends,” said Shanna, who decided to make an event of it and hopes to get as many people out as possible. Since Search and Rescue crews have already scoured the area where Letkeman’s body was
found, Shanna is focusing efforts elsewhere in the Cosens Bay beach area. Plans are to meet at the parking lot in the morning with the search taking place Saturday and possibly Sunday. So far, the Wilson’s have been showered with support from the local community, and are grateful for it all. “People offering their homes for us to stay, people offering to dive that have their licenses, hiking companies...” She hopes that the water search company will be able to make it to Vernon in the next two or three weeks. “They’re strictly volunteer so they have to co-ordinate everyone,” said Shanna, adding that they have a sidescan sonar which can go to greater lengths than the RCMP could perform. Originally, Shanna was trying to hire an Idaho firm to perform the search. “They are still a possibility but he is just really busy on the search they are on right now and they have to go home first before they can
come out (here).” A GoFundMe account has also been established to raise money to find Curtis, and has collected more than $2,800 so far. Those funds were originally slated for the Idaho firm, but Shanna says the funds will still go towards those who help find her brother. “Every dollar is going to be spent on Curtis’ search, even if that is donating it to the volunteer group, who rely on donations.” The land search event is listed at https:// www.facebook.com/events/127924127543925/

City of Vernon staff will be shuffling around to accommodate increased workload. Council has decided that existing employees in the planning department can handle expanded activities instead of hiring a temporary planning assistant. “We have eight staff involved in planning. For the next year, they need to reallocate people,” said Coun. Catherine Lord, who was opposed to hiring. “I want to make sure staff pay attention to current development and not long-term development.” The plan had been for the temporary planning assistant to be paid through excess development revenue from 2015 building permits. Coun. Brian Quiring had supported staff ’s request for the temporary position. “Development is going gang-busters and we need the help,” he said. Building gets demolished A City of Vernon-owned building has a date with a wrecking ball. The New Delhi building at 2905 29th St. and 2828 30th Ave. will be demolished and interim parking will be created at a cost of $50,000. In 2012, the city purchased the property for $1.1 million for an eventual east/west traffic corridor. No timeline has been established for construction of the new road. Fire broke out in the building in December 2014 and the city has accepted an insurance settlement of $126,000. Gas nozzle labels sought The City of Vernon is being urged to send a strong message about climate change. Resident Duncan Gillespie has asked council to embrace the Our Horizon program in which labels warning about the impact of climate change are placed on gas nozzles. “It creates a new avenue for information to be released,” he said, adding that people don’t think
For the record The Morning Star wishes to correct an article in the July 17 edition. A public hearing on a proposed development for the old Kal Tire office site on 48th Avenue will be held Sept. 14 at 5:30 p.m., not Aug. 10 as was reported. N&T Properties is proposing a three-storey, 85-unit apartment with 4,050-squarefeet of commercial space. The Morning Star apologizes for the error.
“They need to reallocate people.”
— Catherine Lord about the climate when they are getting gas for their vehicles. “It’s stickers fighting the biggest challenge we face as a species.” Council will discuss Gillespie’s request in August, but Coun. Juliette Cunningham is interested in the labels. “We have to hear the message over and over again because there are some who still don’t believe in climate change,” she said. Habitat moves ahead Habitat for Humanity’s plan for affordable housing is on target. Vernon council has supported a development variance permit for 2404 35th Ave. so Habitat for Humanity can construct a three-unit multi-family development. The variances were needed to reduce the parking and setbacks and increase the impermeable surface site coverage. “This is a huge step for the community. The design is amazing and it’s really exciting,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham.

Coldstream increases park fees JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
A hike in Coldstream park fees could end up being reversed. The district has implemented a two per cent increase in fees for park bookings and tennis court rentals. The increase was regionally agreed upon before Coldstream took ownership of its parks, but council may take another look at the costs come budget time. Jim Garlick “There may be some changes,” said Mayor Jim Garlick. “If we don’t need to charge as much for this park why should we?” The new fees include $6.84/per adult an hour for tennis court rentals ($3.42 for youth), $286.81 soccer field rentals ($143 for youth and reduced sports field rates for special events or tournaments), $98 com-
munity ball field rentals ($49 for youth and reduced rates for league play/practice) and rental of Lavington Park is $500 for special events. Coldstream remuneration revealed Just four politicians racked up expenses for 2014 in Coldstream. Mayor Jim Garlick topped the list with expenses totalling $2,310, followed by Coun. Richard Enns at $1,262, former Coun. Maria Besso at $728 and Coun. Gyula Kiss with $119. Garlick earned more than $31,000 in remuneration, while Coun. Glen Taylor collected just $966 for his two months on board. Councillors Peter McClean, Doug Dirk and Kiss earned figures in the $14,000-range, Besso collected $13,623 and Coun. Pat Cochrane and Enns earnings were in the $11,000-range. Meanwhile there were 11 employees who earned more than $75,000 in 2014, including Trevor Seibel with the chief administrative officer position paying $141,061. Another four employees collected

six-figure salaries. Seibel also topped the expense list at $8,142, nearly double that of Patricia Higgins who spent $4,844 as director of financial administration. Total employee remuneration for 2014 was $2.8 million, along with $33,769 in expenses. Building booming Construction continues to keep a steady pace in Coldstream. A total of 15 permits were issued in June with a total construction value of more than $3.2 million. The value is double that of the same month last year, where 11 permits were issued with a construction value of $1.6 million. “The number of housing units in 2015 is down by 11 this year,” said Bob Bibby, building official. “However, in June of 2014 permits were issued for two six-plex buildings, and there have been no multifamily buildings to date this year.” Total construction value to date is $18 million, compared to only $13.7 for the same period in 2014.

Market locations sought JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Efforts continue to dig up a new summer home for Coldstream’s Farmers’ Market. Since moving out of the Women’s Institute Hall for the summer, the weekly Wednesday afternoon market set up shop at Kal Lake Store. But regulations and costs have forced the market and District of Coldstream to find a better suited space. “There are a couple of issues that we are trying to grapMike Reiley ple with,” said Mike Reiley, Coldstream’s director of development services. “No. 1 which is trying to find land that is zoned appropriately.” Of the potential locations, which included the Creekside Park parking lot and Sovereign Park, Cenotaph Park is being eyed by the market. Since the market plans to return to the Women’s Institute in the winter, it makes sense to return to the area, said market manager Anita Fletcher. “Every year you move a location it takes two years to get back to where you were,” said Fletcher of building a business. But ultimately, she will be seeking the market vendors’ approval. Meanwhile, some residents are eager to see the market return to the town centre area. “I’m missing the Coldstream Farmers’ Market,” wrote Hagen Tanner in a letter to council. “I loved going there, it was a place where I could buy fresh, locally grown food, get to know the vendors, meet
my neighbours, make new friends.” Both Tanner and Fletcher urged council to make space available, free of charge, for the market. Fletcher used the Vernon Farmers’ Market and Avenue Market as examples of those provided free space. “Last year we paid $40 an hour for the space in the Women’s Institute,” said Fletcher, adding that the market can afford to pay in the winter when it has more vendors.

A mid-summer rant
s we head off into the mid-summer season it’s time to clear the cobwebs of the brain with a little ranting and raving in order to stay sane while trying to not sweat the small stuff (and it’s all small stuff folks) when it’s already too hot outside.... .....that’s the thing about summertime when the living is good and it’s difficult to take anything seriously when in holiday mode, or coping with the heat mode or just plain hitting the beach mode. And in this part of the globe one has to keep one’s eye on the calendar (it’s getting near the end of July already folks) or this thing we call summer will be over before Glenn Mitchell you can say whatjusthappenedhereanyway?.... ......it may be still summer and the federal election isn’t until Oct. 19 and the campaign hasn’t even officially started yet but that doesn’t mean the TV ads aren’t finding their way into our living rooms already. In fact I’ve been bombarded by that Justin Trudeau applying for the PM’s job routine so often, and I swear I don’t watch that much TV but then again likely too much as I should be reading a good book etc., it’s getting a bit ridiculous. Anyway I tend to notice different things about it as I start to look for things to amuse myself after watching it for the umpteenth time. Like the way they refer to him by his first name to make him appear even more youthful and inexperienced than he already is, or refer to his great hair as if to say how can a guy with rock star hair know anything about running a country for goodness sake. So these people, whoever they are and whatever agenda they may have, have decided, presumably for us so we don’t have to think for ourselves, that Justin’s not quite ready to be
MITCHELL’S MUSINGS
PM, but hey, maybe next time, even though in the last little while Liberal leaders shelf life after they lose federal elections is measured in weeks, not years. I assume the idea is to contrast Justin with, well Stephen, even though he has his own hair issues, and I’m not so sure his resume contained any more real life training when he was applying to be our prime minister for the first time. In fact, Justin’s dad, I think his name was Pierre, was also a relative rookie in most respects when he applied for the job and he managed to hang in there for a few elections. Anyway it will be interesting to see what the Liberals come up with, and judging by the polls they better think of something, and the NDP appears to be riding high but there’s so many opportunities for missteps I still think anything can happen in this horse race, and officially anyway, it hasn’t even started yet.... ....maybe the next prime minister, whoever that may be, can do something about the rapidly vanishing Canadian dollar. How low can it go appears to be the question but I’ve got another one for you. If it gets to a certain point can we still call it a dollar? I’m thinking if it gets any lower we may have to reflect its diminishing status and start calling it the “oonie”....... ........and speaking of going lower, interest rates keep going on a downward spiral, apparently this may be connected to the weakening dollar according to the talking heads on TV. Supposedly it’s to spur the economy on and I’m not complaining with a mortgage due to be renewed in the next few months. Maybe by then the interest rate will actually be in negative territory and they will have to pay me to borrow money. Hey, one can dream...... .....meanwhile the countdown to the end of summer continues and you can bet your heavily discounted Canadian dollar that it will be over before you know it. Enjoy.
It appears that Greater Vernon residents will be heading to the polls. The Regional District of North Okanagan is proceeding with a process that would see voters in Vernon, Coldstream and the two electoral areas decide this fall if funds — possibly $13 million — should be borrowed to add a second ice sheet to Kal Tire Place. However, given the fiasco that was last year’s failed water plan referendum, hopefully RDNO staff and politicians are putting together a game plan that gives the arena vote a fighting chance of being successful. That process must not just include providing basic details such as the financial impact of borrowing on the average tax bill, but why a new arena is required given the current condition of 78-year-old Civic Arena and the ongoing demand for ice time, whether it’s for youth or oldtimers. The economic development argument will also have to be put forward as hockey tournaments bolster tourism and a twin facility is attractive for trade shows and other special events. Critical to the referendum will be RDNO bringing together the various user groups who will benefit from a new facility and ensuring that their members and supporters come out in full force on voting day. Officials admit that putting a borrowing referendum before residents creates some uncertainty, not only because of the water vote but also construction of the sports track which has gone completely over budget. But despite those two recent cases, there is no reason that an arena referendum can’t be successful if the regional district brings the Greater Vernon community on board.

Time to increase minimum wage
I
t's no secret that B.C. is one of the most beautiful regions in all of Canada. However, along with the scenery, comes a high cost of living for B.C. citizens. While these high living costs can mean first-rate living standards for many British Columbians, they do not bode well for the many at-risk children and youth of B.C.. According to the First Call B.C. Child and Youth Advocacy Coalition, 18.6 percent of children in B.C. live in poverty (First Call B.C., 2014). How can this possibly be the accepted reality in a developed country such as Canada? In my mind, the best way for the B.C. government to spring B.C. kids out of poverty is to raise their parents/ guardians out of poverty. The most effective way to do this is by increasing the minimum wage. Why does the minimum wage need to be increased? According to livingwageforfamilies.ca, in B.C. in 2015, the earnings of a single parent caring for one child, working full-time over a full year, at $10.25 minimum wage, total $8000 dollars below the poverty line annually (Living Wage for Families, 2015). Due to this reality, many minimum wage earners in B.C. are forced to make difficult choices between things such as paying rent, heating the house, or feeding the children. No child should go to school hungry because his or her parents cannot afford to feed him. My mother, Jodie Haberstock, has taught at W.L. Seaton Secondary for the past four months and has witnessed the breakfast program that is being provided to teens who come to school without having had a breakfast. She pointed out that similar lunch programs are put on by the nearby Faith Baptist Church to provide students with a
RIVER RESTRICTIONS The initiative to impose restrictions on boat motor size on the lower Shuswap River is misguided and illfounded. Erosion of the river bank from boats is negligible compared to spring run off. The size of the engine has little to do with the amount of wake. The size of the boat hull and the water it displaces does. Salmon do not spawn in the lower section of Shuswap River because the bottom is largely sand. They travel through that section to reach the gravel beds where spawning occurs where boat traffic has little to no impact. The initiative to impose these
mid-day meal opportunity as well (Haberstock, 2015). These are just two of many similar programs being operated around B.C. that work to provide students with food that they might not otherwise receive due to the financial status of their families. While these are honourable programs, they highlight an obvious poverty issue that the B.C. government needs to be addressing. First Call B.C. Child and Youth Advocacy Coalition supports the idea that a $15 dollar per hour minimum wage would be necessary to spring B.C.’s at-risk families and youth out of poverty (First Call B.C., 2015). By the current numbers, about 20 per cent of the B.C. population is under the age of 19 (Wikipedia, 2014) and 18.6 per cent of these children are living in poverty (First Call B.C., 2015). Of B.C.’s total population, a staggering four per cent is made up of children and teens who are living in poverty! Increasing the minimum wage for these at-risk teens and their parents or guardians would bring about the change required to lift many B.C. kids
restrictions is spearheaded largely by a small group of vocal and organized people who reside along the river and want their privacy protected. I hope the regional district decisionmakers see through this well orchestrated charade and make a responsible decision based on fact and not be swayed by a vocal group of NIMBYs.

I believe this issue demonstrates once again that the people elected to represent us at the Regional Distrioct of
out of poverty. In 2014, the president of the B.C. Federation of Labour said that, “$13 represents the poverty line and we believe that no government should tolerate a wage in British Columbia that, when you go to work full-time, you're not at the poverty line" (CTV News, 2015). While increases in minimum wage are often feared because they tend to bring about a rise of prices in the market (inflation), this is not always the case. Inflation, in reality, can be caused by any increase in production cost. While an increase in minimum wage would constitute this, it is only one of many factors that could have the same effect. These factors range from the law of supply and demand to governmental tax changes. While these changes do cause small degrees of inflation, they happen regularly without any astronomical effect on the consumer. Raising minimum wage would likely have a similarly small effect (Dollars and Sense, 2015). So, what is B.C. afraid of? As it stands right now, the B.C. government has plans to increase minimum wage by 20 cents in September (the Globe and Mail). While this is a step in the right direction, this increase falls critically short of the increase that is necessary to help at-risk B.C. families and kids rise out of poverty. It is imperative that the government raise minimum wage to at least $13/hour so that earners can stay marginally above the poverty line and provide adequately for their children. For the sake of atrisk B.C. youth, it’s time to change the amount of change in the pockets of British Columbians. Caleb Haberstock
North Okanagan are not fulfilling their responsibilities. Why have directors if all they do is sit on the fence any time a controversial issue is raised? RDNO staff could very well set up committees and run surveys themselves. Just think how different things could be if our directors used intelligence, initiative and abilities to analyze the impacts of banning motor boats on the Shuswap River, and then communicate the results of their analysis to their constituents, instead of doing nothing. Decisions could then be made based on the effects motor boats have on the river itself instead of whether or not people like them or not.
In certain areas of the river, it is clear that motor boats destroy bank stability, wipe out aquatic bird nests, disrupt aquatic animals, destroy fish habitat, and greatly endanger swimmers, kayakers, tubers and canoeists. Yet at the moment, if 51 per cent voted to have motor boats, directors would go against restrictions, saying it is the will of the people, instead of protecting one of the cleanest salmon rivers in B.C.? This is not a new issue. Shuswap River groups have been asking for restrictions for more than 20 years. Please directors, wake up, smell the fish and do your job. Protect the river while it's still time. Huguette Allen
WATER USAGE What is with our Vernon mayor and councillors concerning our water bills? We pay double and triple what Kelowna and Penticton people pay and we're not as big as Kelowna. What's with that? We don't hardly water our lawn, it can die. We're seniors and there's just two of us. Our next bill in July will be well over $200. On a fixed income, how do we manage? No one at city hall is listening? When will it change and the city look at the people? Sally Sinclair

Duty Honour Izzat: The Call to Flanders Fields tells the story of the British Indian Army and it will be on display at Kal Tire Place during the Okanagan Military Tattoo. “Few know the pivotal role of the British Indian Army in securing the vital port of Calais so British and Canadian forces could land on European soil, or about the contribution of the British Indian Army in defending Ypres for the allied forces consequently establishing the Western Front,” said Norm Crerar, Okanagan Military Tattoo president. “The Indian soldiers, mostly Punjabis, fought alongside the Canadians in Belgium and throughout France, and the graves of 10,000 of them share many of the cemeteries where Canadian casualties are buried.” Crerar is encouraging residents to check out the free exhibit. The display will be open to the public Wednesday from noon to 8 p.m. and then from Thursday to July 26 from 10 am to 8 p.m. in the foyer of Kal Tire Place. “Come discover more about this important and mostly unknown piece of history and to discover the common values and shared heritage behind the sacrifices made by these brothersin-arms.”

Venom stop Tigers’ streak at 21 Morning Star Staff
They finally lost a lacrosse game, but the Vernon Sun Valley Source For Sports Tigers were hardly placing calls to the Boxla Crisis Line Friday night. Instead, the Tigers spent 10 minutes mulling over what went wrong and headed to Boston Pizza for a post-game meal. The Kamloops Venom dispatched the Tigers 16-12 at Kal Tire Place in Game 1 of the best-offive Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League championship series. Game 2 goes tonight in Kamloops with the third game back in Vernon Tuesday night. Vernon’s winning streak dates back to losing the 2014 provincial Junior B final - also at Kal Tire Place - to the Delta Islanders. “It’s almost like we needed a loss to wake up,” said Tigers’ veteran Ryan Sarazin, who pocketed 2+1. “Nobody was happy in the room after, but we talked about what we could have done better and now we’re focused on the next game.” Sarazin won a split decision over Kamloops star defender Brady Georget in a spirited scrap in the final five minutes. Both players miss Game 2. The Tigers led 6-4 after one period and the Venom moved in front 10-9 after 40 minutes. “We took some penalties in the third that we probably shouldn’t have, but it really came down to we just didn’t bury our chances; we didn’t execute like we normally do.” Perhaps a sign of things to come occurred when Liam McPhee hit the post on the Tigers’ first shot and Kamloops’ Rylan Van Uwen scored on the Venom’s first shot at 47 seconds. The teams traded goals until Vernon scored two in a row to take 4-3 lead at 13:55 of the first. That lead lasted less than a minute before Kamloops levelled the score. The Tigers got to within two goals twice in the third before the Venom scored three in a row for a 16-11 lead. Kamloops went 3-for-5 on the powerplay and scored once shorthanded. The Tigers were 1-for-5 with the man advantage and produced three shorthanded goals. LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR Quintin Harrish had 2+2, Jordy Barr bagged 2+1, Ethan Anderson had two goals and Thomas Landels Brett Olson of the Vernon Source For Sports Tigers looks for an opening to the net as he is blocked by Brady Georget of the Kamloops Venom one for the Cats. in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League playoff action Friday night at Kal Tire Place.

Tiremen ice Tickets
Baden Cup Break
Morning Star Staff
Vernon Kal Tire had to work a little harder than expected in a 2-0 win over last-place Select Your Tickets in Tree Brewing Kelowna Men’s 35+ Soccer League action Thursday night at Rutland Sports Field. The league-leading Tiremen (13-1-1) missed a few chances in a scoreless opening first half. Keeper Iain Butler turned away one Kelowna opportunity. Kal Tire started to get their form early in the final 45 and finally broke through when Damian Adams found Jesse Knight on a throw in and Knight drew the defence and fed Glenn Allan ,who finished with a great low shot, his ninth of the year. A few minutes later, Bryan Schenker took on the back line but hit his shot just over the cross bar. Unshaken, Schenker got the ball again about five minutes later and went around a defender to hit a short side shot off the keeper and in for insurance. Butler kept his shutout and earned Kal Tire Man of the Match when he squashed a short shot. Next up for Kal Tire is Alves Bros. Thursday (6:30 p.m.) at Marshall Field #1. Select Your Tickets dipped to 2-11-1.

Former Vernonite Cory Meausette scored twice as the Silver Stars shelled Kal Tire 5-1 in a 55+ derby match Thursday night at Marshall #2. The speedy and shifty Meausette, who was in town visiting buddy Kerry Zubot of the Stars, earned the Fountain Tire Man of the Match. Geoff Greenwell, on a penalty shot, Mahmoud Abdel-Kader and Rob Ross also converted for the Stars (7-5), who got fabulous outings from central defender Steve Coombs and central midfielder Dick Markin. Striker-turned-midfielder Kevin Mitchell took a feed from Gary Dill just outside the 18 and went top cheddar, bar down, through a maze to make it 3-1 early in the second half. Moments later, Mitchell fed central midfielder and Wendy’s Man of the Match Jim Sparrow for a short breakaway but he was denied by keeper Dave Gould. Yogi Kongsdorf made several marvellous saves for the struggling Tiremen (6-4-2). After a lopdsided loss last week, Sir Winston’s Attack rebounded for a 2-1 victory over the Fantastic Four in women’s Division 2 play Thursday
night at Marshall #5. Laurie Chickloski supplied both goals – one was a right-knee assist from Natalie Lussin and the other a hard drive into the back of the net off a lovely cross from Sam Orr. Azra Cawley played a sweet first half up front as striker – with a few close calls for goals – and then she went back in net for the purple team and saved the close calls from the opposing pink squad. Leggy Peggy Schepp brought her winning combination of skill, experience and leadership to the field – playing a bold match first as keeper and then on the defensive line. Brianna Thalheimer was sorely missed last game – and the Attack was pleased to see her back as sweeper – her speed, strong kicks and ability to carry the ball up the field with ease, all make her a force. The Fab Four got a fantastic goal by Delaney Ross and some amazing FIFA-level saves by Suzyn August, who returned from injury and faced at least 20 tough shots. Great hustle in the middle came from Michelle Chabot and Kris Ponto. Referee Madelyn Smith called a brilliant game
Neudorf boosts Sistas past Rockets
The OTC/Sunterra Sistas grounded the Green Rockets 6-3 in other Division 2 play. The Rockets scored at two minutes, but Sistas replied a few moments later as Andrea Zubot sent Diane Neudorf on a run through the back line and went top shelf. Miranda Dalhuisen recieved the ball from Neudorf and then deked and dodged, looking to make another pass before unleashing a corker for the 2-1 lead. Krista Gutknecht carried the ball down the wing and crossed it low to Carmen Kinniburgh, who tapped it in. Centerline narrowed it to 3-2 to end the half. Neudorf scored early in the final half, but the Rockets answered right back. Kinniburgh got her second of the night, then Dalhuisen sent Neudorf on another run and goal, for the hat trick. Becky Birbilis ran up for a corner and just missed with a header. The undefeated Sistas played a great passing game. Wendy Nadeau took the win in net.
Kozak 21st in B.C. Amateur B.C. Golf Association/Morning Star Staff
Conner Kozak of Vernon finished tied for 21st in the 113th BC Amateur at Fairview Mountain Golf Club in Oliver. Kozak, an All-American with the UBC Thunderbirds, shot a final-round 75 Friday for a four-round total 296, sharing 21st spot with Patrick Murphy of Glencoe in Calgary. There was a field of 157. Vernon’s Matt Kreutz, who will play for the Minto University Beavers in North Dakota next season, finished in a four-way share of 36th with a 76 Friday. He ended up at 301. Brady Stead of Vernon, a star with the Camosun University Chargers in Victoria, carded a finalround 79 to split 50th place with two others at 306. For four days, Jared du Toit proudly sported his 2013 Champion bag that he earned for winning the 2013 BC Junior Boys title in a playoff over Jordan Lu and Kevin Vigna. Now he can put that into storage because he has a 2015 Champion bag which signifies his win at the BC Amateur. Du Toit played a solid final round, never letting his closest competitor, Stuart Macdonald of Point Grey, get any closer than four strokes. Du Toit finished at 10-under 278 after his final round 73 to win by seven strokes over Point Grey’s
Stuart Macdonald. “It’s pretty awesome,” said du Toit after accepting the Bostock Trophy. “I remember when I was 13, caddying for a friend at the B.C. Am and I saw the guys in the final group. I hoped and thought that would be me some day and that day was today.” And don’t think the champion bag isn’t a big thing to du Toit. “I’ve been proud to show off this bag as a champion in 2013 and now I have one for this year.” Macdonald, the midway leader at Fairview, couldn’t break par on the last two days, ballooning to a final round 76, which was still good enough for a 3-under 285 and solo second place. “Hats off to Jared, he deserves this win so much,” said Macdonald. “He played so well, especially when the conditions got windy and tough. I didn’t lose this tournament, he won this and I congratulate him on his win.” Macdonald got to within striking distance of du Toit on the front nine, but the killing blow came on the eighth hole when du Toit made birdie while Macdonald made bogey after hitting his drive right. That extended du Toit’s lead to six and he coasted in the rest of the way. “It was good to have a big lead going into the round and once I extended it, it was just about getting in and finishing,” said du Toit.

Traffic is entertaining street theatre in Hanoi. The city is an array of sidewalk food stalls, bakeries, bars, cafes, shops and hotels.
The contrasts of two nations COLLEEN FRIESEN Special To The Morning Star
SOUTHEAST ASIA - Xin Chao (goodday): Greetings from Laos, officially the Lao People’s Democratic Republic. I’ve been riding local buses across northern Thailand to the Mekong River and the Laos border town of Houei Xia. Now I’m traveling down the Mekong on a slow boat. The river is broad with sandy banks, at times narrowing to rocky channels. The vegetation is lush and green, the area sparsely populated. I overnight in Pakbeng, a bend in the river with a frontier town feel – rough, ragged, edgy. In the morning there are elephants on the far bank, and the mist and rocks and rapids remind me of scenes from The Deer Hunter and Apocalypse Now. The day brings increasing river traffic and larger village populations, peanut farms, women in conical hats panning for gold, fishermen with nets, a limestone karst landscape, and a stronger current taking us to Luang Prabang, the UNESCO heritage site famous for its colonial architecture. The night market is extensive, and the Royal Palace houses a highly revered gold Buddha statue. A couple of days later I’m on a hairraising ride in a minivan across a mountain range. Heavy morning fog fills the valleys. As the road rises above the mist, mountain peaks punch their way through like green islands in a foggy sea. Eventually, we arrive at Vang Vieng on the Nam Song River where the beer flows faster than the river. This place has a reputation for outdoor activities – tubing, caving, rock climbing, hot air ballooning, kayaking, dirt biking – and partying. Too many fatalities recently so the police have shut down some of the riverside bars. Another minivan ride takes me into Vientiane, the capital, where one walks on
BARRY TRUTER PHOTO
The vegetable market in Luang Prabang, Laos is extremely popular. the road because the sidewalks are filled with parked cars and motorbikes. The National Museum houses a decaying artifact collection, much of which concerns the unofficial, “secret” war waged by the U.S. Laos has the dubious distinction of having more bombs dropped on it per capita than any other nation on the planet. Next stop is the border town of Lak Sao with its single main street – wide, dusty, unpaved like a scene from a spaghetti western. This truck-crossing into Vietnam is sparsely populated with fledgling businesses, a handful of tourists and one restaurant. The market offers fresh fruit and
vegetables for sale – and fly-blown fish, meat, rats, moles, squirrels and insects. A short ride takes me across the Vietnam border to Vinh (birthplace of Ho Chi Minh) to catch the overnight train to Hanoi. Now I’m holed up in Hanoi’s Old Quarter falling for the city despite the traffic which is killing me (almost)! Some cities have one-way streets, some two-way streets – Hanoi has all-way streets. Endless streams of motorbikes weave aggressively between buses, trucks, cars, cyclists, pedestrians, street vendors and push carts. One day, I take a break from the city and visit Halong Bay, also a UNESCO site. Two thousand limestone islets dot the bay like stone soup. The scenery is breathtaking, and the caves even more so. But Hanoi’s Old Quarter is a source of wonder too – vibrant, vigorous, visceral. Delicious pho (pronounced fa) is served in numerous noodle soup restaurants. Egg coffee is sipped on balconies overlooking Hoan Kiem Lake. Sidewalk food stalls, bakeries, bars and cafes abound, intermingled with mini hotels and hostels, family shops, small businesses, and the never-ending hustle of street life. The hammer and sickle flies prominently in both Vietnam and Laos. But there are many differences. Laos is languid, land-locked, laid-back. Vietnam is industrious, and twice the size with 15 times the population – 90 million people versus 6.5 million for Laos. Vietnam is strategic, and fiercely independent, having fought Chinese, Mongol, French and American invasions. For much of that same period, Laos was considered a backwater buffer state. In Hanoi, the traffic greets the dawn, in Laos the cocks crow lustily in the predawn stillness. I take these contrasts home with me. Barry Truter is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Riverside Park flows with sound of music Nyla HirscH
Special to The Morning Star
The heat didn’t stop accordion players from all over B.C., Alberta, Oregon and Nevada from getting together for the third Accordion Get-ToGether at Riverside RV Park in Enderby July 6 to 9. Players were ready to start playing after George Jaegli from Leduc, Alta. finished his morning stroll through the park with his wake-up music. Every afternoon and evening, accordion players enjoyed making music for the public in a large circle of friends. On Tuesday, the format changed to individual and group performances. A wide variety of music was enjoyed by all. Old friendships were rekindled and new ones made.
There were many levels of accordion players, from the very accomplished to the beginner. All had a bounce in their step and big smile on their face. Some players only played by written music and others played by ear. There were piano accordions, one chromatic accordion and one diatonic accordion. Forty accordions attended the Accordion Get-To-Gether and Wednesday night the audience saw 28 accordions playing together in the mini mass band. The Enderby Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 98, hosted a dance with music supplied by four different accordion groups, including Out In Left Field from Armstrong, a group from Leduc, with help from Armstrong guitarist John

Seniors reveal that it gets better with age
sopHie WatsoN
Special to The Morning Star
Our research team recently surveyed a group of 2,500 online daters from Canada, The United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand and we found some great insights — namely the fact that the older you get, the better your sex life gets! In fact, when it comes to the bedroom, older singles are leaving their younger counterparts in the dust; we found that those aged 70 and up were both happier with casual sex and less demanding of fidelity than those aged under 30. The survey, run by dating site EliteSingles, found that 93 per cent of over 70s believed sex to be “important” in a relationship, with 37 per cent rating it as “very important.” Thirty-seven percent of seniors also said they “couldn’t stay in a sexless relationship,” and it’s no wonder why — 84 per cent of over 70s said sex gets

better with age. In a finding that’s sure to surprise, the study showed that seniors over 70 have a higher desire for sex than singles aged 18 to 30. Indeed, celibacy was considered less acceptable for older singles than the younger ones; just seven per cent of seniors said they were “happy without sex in a relationship,” compared to 14 per cent of the 18 to 30 year olds. The over 70s were also more accepting of casual sex; 79 per cent said they don’t need to wait for a solid relationship commitment before having sex, a sentiment which was shared with just 69 per cent of younger singles. A gender comparison revealed that older women are the slightly more fervent fornicators; 93 per cent of women think the quality of sex improves with age and experience, compared with 76 per cent of men. Women are also the more zealous daters; only four per cent said they lacked
the energy or mobility to join the dating scene, compared with 23 per cent of men. They may have been around the block, but that doesn’t mean seniors have lost their faith in love. Even after break-up, separation and divorce, 96 per cent believe you can fall in love at any age and 87 per cent of single over 70s believe new love could be just around the corner. “People tend to feel uncomfortable with the idea of senior sexuality because it has nothing to do with reproduction; senior sex is purely about love and sexual fulfilment,” said psychologist Salama Marine. “But in a society often too associated with youth, we tend to forget that there is no age limit to desire and eroticism. We must recognize that today’s seniors have lived through society’s sexual liberalization and enjoy the same sexual freedom as the rest of us.” Sophie Watson is with the Elite Singles Research Team.

Letnick pushes B.C. agriculture

Andrew McWilliam, of Ratio Coffee and Pastry, serves coffee and treats from the coffee cart he owns with pastry chef Laurie Knuever. It is located next to the BigSteel Box Satellite Gallery across from Cenotaph Park and they will be opening a shop in the old train station building in August.
B.C.’s agriculture minister has met with his federal and provincial counterparts. A number of issues were discussed during the meeting of agriculture ministers in Charlottetown, P.E.I. “Growing B.C.’s agrifoods sector takes teamwork and co-operation, something I’ve been proud to help develop with B.C. farmers and food producers, my provincial colleagues and the government of Canada,” said Norm Letnick, Norm Letnick who is also Lake Country MLA. He said that there’s a need to break down internal barriers to Canadian trade, and his focus is on all agricultural commodities in B.C., including wine, dairy, poultry and seafood. “We’ve seen B.C.’s agrifoods sector grow by more than $1 billion in a few years, reaching $11.7 billion annually. My job is to make sure the sector continues to grow, and by continuing to work with B.C. agrifood producers, and partnering with the government of Canada and provincial leaders, I’m going to get that job done.”
Russell proud of Good Gracious’ success ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The lure of the grandchildren is too much for Judy Russell. After 23 years as a business operator in downtown Vernon, the affable owner of Good Gracious Contemporary Gifts on 30th Avenue (her husband Dave runs the Practical Kitchen next door) is turning her store over to an unnamed foreign investor. “We still have the desire, we both really love it, and we have all these good ideas that we think are good ideas but the ambition isn’t there,” said Russell of her decision to sell. “We don’t have the stamina to carry it through, and we have grandkids in Turkey and Vancouver that we want to spend time with and we want to travel.” Arriving in Vernon after four years in Calgary, Russell opened up Maggie and Doodles, a gift shop, in an old house on 30th Street near Civic Arena in 1992. Russell named her first store after her grandparents (Douglas was Russell’s grandfather’s given name but a sister referred to him as Doodles). That enterprise stayed on 30th Street until the late 1990s. That’s when she closed Maggie and Doodles
and opened Good Gracious, named after a teddy bear, in its current location beside CIBC downtown. Asked what makes her store successful in downtown, where many businesses over the years have opened and closed, Russell answers with a combination of factors. “We really care, we listen to our customers, and we give the best customer service,” she said. “Everything is gift-wrapped when it goes out of the store. We try to have a very good merchandise selection. It’s an event when people come in, not just a shopping experience. People have fun here.” Part of the fun is the people Russell has working for her. When she opened, Russell was the store’s one unpaid employee. Now, she has nine part-time workers, which grows to about a dozen or so at Christmas. And the good news for Good Gracious’ loyal customer base is nothing is changing even with new ownership. “The women in the store now are all staying and are going to operate it,” said Russell. “They’ll do the buying, go to the shows. Everything stay the same. That’s what the new owner wants. He recognizes that it’s successful.”

Good Gracious Contemporary Gifts owner Judy Russell has sold her store, although the current employees will continue running the business.

Consider a charitable legacy
W
hen it comes to charitable giving, you have a number of different options that can help you achieve your philanthropic goals, while at the same time providing you with some tax relief. Donating securities – The federal government has introduced several new tax incentives in recent years to encourage charitable giving by Canadians, Kirbey Lockhart including the elimination of capital gains tax when you donate publicly listed securities to qualified charities. Not only do you receive a tax break,
GUEST COLUMN
you also receive a donation receipt equal to the fair market value of the donated security. For example, due to the donation tax credit, your out-of-pocket cost for making an in-kind donation of a security worth $100,000 with a cost, of say, $40,000 is about $55,000. However, if you sold the security first and then donated the cash, your out-of-pocket donation cost would be $70,000 due to paying about $15,000 in capital gains tax. Charitable foundation – Another taxeffective charitable giving strategy is setting up your own charitable foundation. A private foundation gives you a high level of control and flexibility with respect to charitable giving, and enables you to create an
enduring charitable legacy. You can make donations to your own foundation, and you will receive a donation tax receipt like any other donation. However, to maintain its charitable status, your foundation must meet its annual disbursement quota – 3.5 per cent of the foundation’s assets, must be spent on charitable activities, or on gifts to qualified donees. While providing control and flexibility, a private foundation also involves certain costs and administrative requirements that must be considered. An alternative to a private foundation is making tax-deductible donations to a public foundation. Public foundations are very similar to private foundations in many respects, but involve less cost and administration.
Although you do not have outright control now, you can still recommend to the public foundation’s directors which charities should receive grants. Similar to private foundations, in-kind donations of publicly listed securities to a public foundation are eligible for the zero capital gains inclusion rate. Depending on your age and needs, there are other creative charitable giving strategies, especially those using life insurance, to reduce taxes and significantly increase your charitable contribution after death to your favorite charity.

Borrowers urged to be cautious as key interest rate decreases Morning Star Staff
Consumers in the Okanagan should exercise caution when considering taking on debt in the wake of the Bank of Canada’s key interest rate cut, says one financial institution. “The Bank of Canada’s 25 basis point drop in the bank rate to 0.50 per cent doesn’t mean B.C. residents should start borrowing excessively, especially in terms of personal mortgages and lines of

Band trains UXO techs Morning Star Staff
Okanagan Indian Band members will be tackling an explosive situation. The first three of nine band members have been selected to attend training in Texas to assist in disposing of unexploded explosive ordnance from OKIB lands. “While Canadians prepare to celebrate the end of the Second World War, relics of that era still litter our lands,” said Chief Byron Louis. “During a clean-up last year, technicians found live mortars which were over 70 years old.” Beginning with the Boer War in 1906, the Department of National Defense used OKIB range land at Madeline Lake and Goose Lake to train soldiers in firing live mortars, grenades and other munitions, including white phosphorous. “They would fire the mortars from one range to the other,” said Louis. “That’s over 12 kilometres and poor aim by soldiers in training saw much of our land surrounding the ranges also polluted.” The recent agreement between the band and DND will see a total of 10 band members trained to become UXO technicians over the next three years. DND is providing the funding for training. “The clean-up effort will take time and an ongoing commitment by our partners in Ottawa,” said Louis. “I’m proud of the members who came forward to be trained in this vital role. Their efforts will provide an opportunity for our future generations to enjoy our land safely.”

Spall well concerns swell TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
The attempt to rezone a property has dried up after community concerns about potential water shortages and declining road conditions at Spallumcheen council Monday. Glen Hardy and Cindy Stout own property on Salmon River Road and Sharp Road, and were denied an application for rezoning due to issues raised about the water in surrounding wells. “The extrapolation and a lot of the techniques the hydrologists used are not an exact science,” said Coun. Todd York. “So there are two things I’m looking at. The hydrologists report suggests that there is enough, and then real life information. It is sort of a crapshoot to drill down and get a fracture for some water.” Hardy was looking to subdivide his lot into three 1.82 hectare lots. The new subdivision would require drilling two new wells. “The precedent was set with previous subdivisions in the area. At some point, all of the land we live on was subdivided,” said Hardy. Hardy and Stout were asked by the township to come out with a hydrogeological assessment pertaining to the rezoning application. The assessment determined that there is sufficient groundwater resources in the area to support the proposed rezoning. However, surrounding residents are concerned about their well water being affected by further drilling into the bedrock. “The amount of available water will not be sufficient and there are no gains for the neighbouring land,” said nieghbour Michael Thomas. Residents are also concerned about the decaying conditions of Sharp Road. One resident stated in the public hearing that the road is poorly graded, it is very dusty and it is easy to hydroplane when it gets wet. There are concerns that more properties will bring more traffic onto the inferior road. “I have confidence in the science and I trust the pros that conducted the hydrolysis report,” said Coun. Andrew Casson. “Approving the rezoning
applies pressure for Sharp Road improvements.” Before the final decision, York added: “When you increase the density of a property, it requires a start from the beginning. It seems more appropriate to be a country residential application and not a small holding application. Too many small properties can erode the neighbourhood. I think one more well is pushing the envelope, I trust the hydrology report for one, but not two.”

Market draws a crowd JENNIFER SMITH
Morning Star Staff
Vernon is the pick of the crop in a provincewide contest aimed at harvesting a new bunch of market-goers. July is Meet My Market month across B.C., where the B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets has planted a bumper crop of prizes. Simply bring a friend to your favourite farmers market and fill out an entry ballet at the information booth for a chance at two Sparkling Hill Resort getaways. “There’s no doubt that people in B.C. are passionate supporters of their local farmers’ markets. With Meet My Market month, we’re encouraging our loyal visitors to introduce a friend to their market - and to show off the beautiful in-season foods, and the great neighbourhood experience they love,” said Elizabeth Quinn, association executive director. The locally picked prize, along with weekly chances at $50 in market bucks, is a sweet addition to the hundreds of reasons to visit the Vernon Farmers’ Market, according to manager Ingrid Baron. “There’s 100 here today,” said Baron of the number of vendors lining the Kal Tire Place parking lot Monday, selling everything from produce and preserves to crafts and craft liquor. Thursdays are even more packed with an average of 140 vendors on site. “It gets crazy busy down here.” And the market only continues to grow, from the handful of vendors it started out with in 1979 which included such staples as artist Mary Tremayne with her pottery, to the latest additions such as Rollin’ Spring Rolls and new potentials like
a bison farmer. “This year it’s bigger earlier because all the produce is early. “We have corn, we never have corn this early,” she said, noting also an abundance of early blueberries. “When we say fresh, we mean fresh. This corn was picked this morning,” said Baron, noting vendors who even leave a loved-one in charge so they can go home partway through the day to pick more fruits and vegetables when they sell out. No matter what you’re shopping for, they guarantee its local at the farmers market. “We’re strictly: make it, bake it, grow it.” And it works, as the aisles are routinely packed with shoppers. “Thousands, easily,” said Baron, noting an even bigger surge with the addition of liquor. “And now everybody is bringing tourists,” she said of the summer guests. Operating from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., every Monday and Thursday until the end of October, the Vernon Farmers’ Market also features live entertainment as well as special events such as the recent Family Fun Day and the upcoming B.C. Day Party. “Farmers’ markets are pretty much a second home for me,” said Rachelle Zelaney, farmer and owner of Vernon’s own Zelaney Farms. “My family has been growing food for the Vernon community and selling at our local markets for more than 25 years. We’re very excited to meet some new faces at our booth during Meet My Market month in July.” Those bringing a friend by can also post a photo on social media and add #MeetMyMarket for a chance at $50 in market bucks, given away weekly.

Shriners have a long history of service RogeR knox Morning Star Staff
They are known for the fez that adorns their heads, or driving around in parades in mini-cars (complete with fezzes). They regularly sponsor a circus — and, actually, still do though mainly in the U.S. — that would appear in towns across Canada until cities instituted bylaws prohibiting animal acts from appearing. But there is much more to being a Shriner than a three-ring circus, fancy hats and funny cars. “We want people to know we are more than clowns and more than parades,” said Noble Mike Caira, president of Vernon Shrine Club No. 7. “The big thing is what we do for the kids.” That would be taking care of kids. Internationally, there are 22 Shriners Hospitals For Children with the first in Canada open in Montreal. At these hospitals, Shriners help families treat their kids free of charge to such ailments as scoliosis, hand, leg or back problems, dislocated hips, sports injuries to bones, muscles or tendons, club feet, cerebral palsy, cleft lips or palates, burns and bone tumours. “Whatever we can do for kids and families, we look after them from baby age to the age of 18,” said Caira, 59, a former RCMP officer. “Trips are covered, medical costs are covered. We help where we can.” Caira said the Vernon Shrine Club was approached last year by family members living in the North Okanagan that has family in Ukraine with a young boy who needed medical assistance beyond the capabilities that exist in their country. As a result of the Shrine Club’s efforts, the child has been accepted for assessments in the new Montreal Shrine Hospital and should be coming to Canada shortly.
“We want people to know we are more than clowns and more than parades.” — Noble Mike Caira
The Shriners, like many other organizations, fundraise in order to raise money to give back to the community. The big ticket item annually in the Vernon club is the annual Father’s Day boat draw, where the Vernon Shriners give away a boat and trailer in a raffle. They also sell ties and, new to the Shriners, a Shrine Dragon created by a Kamloops artist. “Money raised locally is used for local families, or we donate to Cops For Kids,” said Caira. “Some of the money is sent to our Gizeh Temple, or headquarters, in Burnaby for the B.C./Yukon division. The Vernon Shrine Club received its charter Sept. 20, 1948 with 59 original members (21 from Vernon, 24 from Kelowna, 13 from Salmon Arm, one from Vancouver). Caira, who became a Shriner five years ago while living in Kamloops, said the local club currently has about 30 members. “The average age is 70-ish,” smiled Caira. “We do have some younger guys.” Caira joined the Shriners as their philosophy of helping others fit in with his role as a police officer. The last five years, he said, have been worth joining the club. “The smiles you see on faces when we’re selling tickets or when we’re in the (Vernon Winter Carnival) parade, that’s what it’s all about,” said Caira. “I’ve had people come up and say thank you for what you’ve done because they were Shrine children, and these

They say they wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the Shriners. We get a lot of cases like that, a lot of gratitude. It’s an excellent organization
with great people in it.” If you’re interested in joining the Vernon Shrine Club, you can send an e-mail to mikecaira@hotmail.com.
Shriners share a brotherhood of caring around the world It started in Manhattan in 1870 when a few Masons were sharing a drink at their favourite tavern. They felt that Masonry, which traces its roots to stonemasons and craftsmen of the Middle Ages, was a bit too focused on ritual. Instead, they wanted a fraternity that stressed fun and fellowship — not to replace Masonry, but to add to it. They came up with the idea for their look and language (fez, scimitar etc.) after attending a party thrown by an Arabian diplomat. The first chapter, Mecca Shriners, met in New York City in 1872. Membership grew, spreading across the U.S., and
by the early 1900s, into Canada, Mexico and Panama. Today there are approximately 309,000 Shriners throughout the U.S., Canada, Germany, Mexico, Philippines, Puerto Rico and Panama. Locally, Gizeh Shriners of BC-Yukon started in Victoria, on June 11, 1902, and now represents the largest geographical jurisdiction in the Shriners organization. In 1942, Gizeh headquarters moved from Victoria to Vancouver, and to Burnaby in 1968. There are now more than 80 clubs and units affiliated with Gizeh throughout BC and Yukon. All Shriners are Masons, but not all Masons are Shriners.
Shriners International is a spin-off from Freemasonry which dates back hundreds of years to a time when stonemasons and other craftsmen gathered after work in shelter houses or lodges. Over time, the members organized into Masonic guilds and the tools of their trade — the square and compass — became the symbol of their brotherhood. Masonry evolved to accept members who were not craftsmen, and today, Masonry is built upon a foundation of improving character and strengthening communities, though the square and compass are still the symbols of the fraternal brotherhood. — www.bcshriners.com

It’s time to bring cottage life home
S
ummer adventures offer up the opportunity to live large in small spaces. We are outside enjoying our natural wonders and then managing sleep in cozier spaces. There is the “tent” experience where you can put your bedroom, storage closets, living and potentially dining space into a 12 X 10 or less or greater space. We used to admire the “dining rooms” when we went camping so there would be no bugs as dinner companions. Over the years our tents have varied, from fairly large to the smaller version for hiking. Sleeping in a tent is very cozy. I liked the set-up,
The WayMichele I see ITBlais creating your new living space whether for one night or a week, and the efficiency of the gear. Life was simple. More time for conversations, swimming, hiking, camp fires real or pretend depending on forest fires. Stores offer great gear now to make the experience more pleasurable and safe. Years ago I read in this paper that all couples should go camping
for a weekend in the rain prior to marriage, as it was a good test to challenges that lay ahead. Sometimes families switch to the camper after the tenting experience. This offers a bit more luxury, better beds, more options for gentrifying the experience. Trailers can range from pop-up-campers to the deluxe “ themotorhome-is-worthmore-than-my-house” experience. It can be a great time to unplug. It may be hard at first to disconnect and it has great results. We all need the electronic-free experiences for our health, and to really be in touch with nature has
tremendous benefits to our bodies and brain. Leave Google at home. Our latest adventure is the cottage, or cabin as the darling calls it. We are able to go very comfortably from our 3,200-square-foot home to 900 easily. We use solar, propane and septic system, water from lake, not for drinking of course! We wash dishes by hand, and kids have to do the dishes: cottage rule. As time goes on enjoying our cottage I realize I don’t need a big space to live in. There is the benefit of being outside for most of the day and evening. It has our family considering a move to a
smaller home. We could practise our efficiencies in town such as water usages. Not flushing every time you pee is not a huge issue, and saves gallons of water. It’s a house rule there and people adapt. Same as taking shorter showers and not filling the dish washing sink to the top,
there are other ways we conserve and we can do the same at home. In recent times our culture has come to see the large home as a sign of prestige and success. I wonder about the need for so much space and rooms that are furnished and visited occasionally. I hope that in the

Bugs, bugs and more bugs! Stuart Brown of The Bug Guys is back at the Greater Vernon Museum & Archives to educate and entertain with his bizarre, beautiful and fascinating creepy crawlies. “Both the avid insect lovers and the squeamish onlookers will leave with a new appreciation for these creepy crawlies,” said Denise Marsh, marketing and communications coordinator.
The presentation takes place Saturday at the museum from 10 a.m. to noon. As space is limited and Brown’s shows have proven very popular, Marsh encourages those interested to purchase tickets early to avoid disappointment. Tickets are $3/person available at the museum.

T
For The Morning Star
yler Skyy, aka Devan Head, is a hip hop artist and former Vernon resident who now resides in Vancouver. In 2012, Skyy released his Skyy Life Sunday project, writing and then recording a song every week for a year. Born with a congenital heart defect known as pulmonary artresia and tetralogy of fallow, Skyy has endured multiple heart surgeries and now donates his time and music to Ronald McDonald House, which helps families whose children are in hospital. His most recent album, Intergalactic, came out in March. Q: What made you decide to pursue music? A: “Honestly, I started out making songs for fun about five years ago, and eventually I started to really love it. I just want to do something special with my life, especially since I’m so lucky to be here today after all of my heart surgeries.” Q: Tell us a bit about your new album Intergalactic. A: “The goal for Intergalactic was to project where my mind is at creatively, and to put together a solid record with real content, telling a real story that
anybody could relate to no matter what their mood is. It’s got a pretty laid-back feel to it for the most part, something you can just sit back and enjoy.” Q: If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be? A: “Everybody would love and respect each other and our planet.” Q: When was the last time you felt inspired? A: “Every day. There is always something inspiring me, whether it is physical art, music, people, conversations, and the weather outside, anything. I love to draw inspiration from everything around me.” Q: How does music impact your daily life? A: “It runs my life. It’s my fuel. If I’m not listening to something or creating it, I’m thinking about it– not just my music, but all kinds. I love almost all genres and I have an unlimited amount of respect for anybody who can create any type of music and tell their story like that.” Q: What is the most difficult thing that you’ve had to endure? A: “In the big picture, moving out to Vancouver and figuring out how to live on my own. The past four years have been a very large learning experience for me as Devan, and as Tyler Skyy. In
the small picture, my most recent heart surgery wasn’t a ton of fun.” Q: What made you decide to team up with Ronald McDonald House charities on your single Smiling? A: “I’m familiar with the amazing work they do with B.C. Children’s Hospital. As a kid, I had four openheart surgeries at the children’s hospital. It was my way of giving a little back where I could, spreading some love to wonderful people who may have needed a little extra.” Q: If you could create a national holiday, what would it be? A: “National Love Everything Day. Something that has to do with appreciating everything in your life and the planet we live on. Everybody would spend the day outside exploring and making memories with the people they love.” Q: What would you do if you weren’t making music? A: “I’ve always wanted to do some sort of social work, helping people who need it. I have actually thought about becoming a social worker.” Q: Finally, one of the most important questions of all...cats or dogs? A: “That’s a tough one... I have both and they’re all so great. If I had to pick one though, dogs. My pup Charlie brings me so much happiness.”

Cods say goodbye to their favourite Otter Fiddler with Vernon band Cod Gone Wild has a few shows left before she leaves for Saskatchewan
Morning Star Staff
It has been an eventful four years for Vernon’s popular Celtic-Maritime band Cod Gone Wild. Not only have the Cods produced two full-length studio albums and toured all over Western Canada, they have performed shows in San Francisco, Newfoundland, and most recently at the Canadian ambassador’s residence in Quito, Ecuador on Canada Day. Even with all of this fun, excitement and travel, members of the band have heavy hearts these days as they prepare to say goodbye to their bandmate and friend Anjuli Otter. The Cods’ fiddler for the past four years, Otter is engaged to be married and will be moving in the fall to North Battleford, Sask. “She has been an amazing addition and has played a large role in the band’s success to date,” said Cod frontman Andrew Mercer. For her part, Otter says she is sad to leave, but knows the band will continue to entertain their legion of fans. “What an adventure the last four years have been, so much laughter, sleeplessness, driving and, of course, music,” she said. “It’s been a privilege to grow and develop as musicians together. I’m sad to leave, but I

I wish them continued success.” Drummer Chad “Rhino” Carter is the only member, along with transplanted Newfoundlander Mercer, who has been with Cod Gone Wild from the beginning. Also in the band is bassist Roy Kawano. Although he has witnessed many changes since the band’s inception, Carter says Otter’s departure is probably the toughest yet. “Working with Anjuli has been amazing
and as a band we have accomplished some incredible things. It’s hard for any group of musicians to find that natural connection and we had that,” he said. “We recorded two albums that I am very proud of and Anjuli’s talent shines through on them. She will be greatly missed and impossible to replace. I wish her success and happiness in her future endeavours and look forward to the next chapter with Cod Gone Wild.” Cod Gone Wild is playing a bunch of shows all over the Okanagan, where local
fans will have the opportunity to see Otter perform before her departure at the end of August. They include outdoor concerts at the Mackie Lake House in Coldstream Aug. 7 and at Civic Sounds in downtown Vernon Aug. 13, as well as dates in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Peachland, Summerland and Kamloops. The Cods plan to swim full stream ahead after Otter’s departure, and have numerous performances scheduled in the fall. “We will be looking to fill Anjuli’s position as soon as possible and will be holding auditions in the coming weeks,” said Mercer. “Although we are disappointed that Anjuli is leaving, we have to push forward and get ready for a busy and exciting year ahead. That starts with finding the right musician(s) to come on board.” The band will likely hire session fiddle players from all over western Canada for their future shows and are seeking a singer/ songwriter/multi-instrumentalist to join the ranks in helping lead performances and shape the future sound of the band, said Mercer. “It is unlikely that we are going to find a singer/fiddle player and character like Anjuli, but we hope to find a unique artist that will bring a whole new flavour to the band and help us continue to grow as a group,” he said. Any musicians who are interested in applying to audition can get in touch with Mercer at Andrew@codgonewild.com. More information about Cod Gone Wild is available at www.codgonewild.com.

Nature and art meld in Enderby
Morning Star Staff
Have you ever noticed that the willow leaves turn toward the sky just before a rainstorm? Do you wait for migrating birds to return to signal the beginning of spring? Are your swallows still in the barn or have they raised their young and flown away? The natural world engages in natural cycles and patterns right outside our front door. Do any seasonal indicators influence your life or bring joy to your days? Runaway Moon Theatre invites the public to drop in at its Maud Street Studio, 904 Maud St. in Enderby, where members will be working on a unique community art project. “The intention is to design a permanent art piece in Enderby that depicts seasonal indicators, local wildlife and visual calendar happenings,” said Runaway Moon’s artistic director Cathy Stubington. “The Enderby Calendar Wheel welcomes your input
in regards to seasonal knowledge and surface design details.” Visitors can spend the afternoon stenciling, printing or mosaic building in support of art and the natural world. “No experience is necessary, just curiosity,” said Stubington. Scenic artist, painter and muralist Molly March will join Stubington, a master puppet builder and artist, to share ideas and facilitate techniques.

Artists Shelley Sproule (standing, left), Margaret McSweeney, Shirley Mikaelsen, Twyla Tucker, Lois Campbell (sitting, left), Eileen Sawracki, Theresa Heinrichs, Arlene Armstrong and Sharon Isaaks show some of their small works in the new art gallery at the Okanagan Landing Station House Museum at Paddlewheel Hall.
The little art gallery that could Morning Star Staff
“Go big by going small.” That’s the philosophy behind a new art exhibition space in Okanagan Landing. Launched by the Okanagan Landing Association board and located next to the Okanagan Landing Station House Museum at Paddlewheel Hall, the new art gallery is now open to the public and is no larger than a small bedroom. “Who would have guessed that two of the highlights of Paddlewheel Hall this summer is a satellite museum featuring rail and Paddlewheel models of early Landing times and a gallery display of local art based on local themes?,” said Theresa Heinrichs, the gallery’s volunteer curator. The diminutive sized gallery is a natural outcome from the tremendous amount of interest shown in the fall art shows at the Paddlewheel Hall the past two years, said Heinrichs. The gallery is now showcasing 33 pieces of artwork, measuring 18-by-18-inches and smaller. All the works are by Okanagan artists and have an Okanagan theme. “(They make) a perfect for a little gift for that special person,” said Heinrichs, who has helped to coordinate the jurying of the small works by local artists. The gallery is open until Sept. 1 during museum hours and admission is free. Both the gallery and museum are closed Sundays. “In the future, the gal-
lery will welcome visits from school groups and will include an educational component in the experience. History, art and the joys of recre-
ation on the beach and in the park should be a real plus for visitors to Paddlewheel Park in Okanagan Landing this summer,” said Heinrichs.

HEALTH TIP TOM NOLAN
brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist
Vaccines are not just for kids. Tetanus/diphteria vaccine should be given every ten years. If you are a senior, you should have a pneumococcal vaccine. It is also recommended that those over the age of 60 should have a shingles vaccine shot whether they have had chickenpox as a child or not. This is a onetime vaccination and is effective in preventing the pain and discomfort that shingles can bring. We’ve heard about the positive health benefits that come from eating an ounce or two of hazelnuts, almonds or cashews daily. Peanuts are technically not a nut but a legume. But there are benefits from eating them daily as well. Heart attack and stroke risks may be reduced by eating nuts or peanuts daily. Have a cough that just won’t go away? Does your chest hurt when you breath deeply? Do you often wheeze or are short of breath? Do you ever cough up phlegm with blood in it? You may not have lung cancer but it’s worthwhile having it checked. Lung cancer has no early signs in its early stages but as with most diseases, early detection increases the chances of treatment. The first actual “vitamin pill” was first marketed in 1936. It contain liver and iron supplements. Today, there are thousands of different vitamin products available. How do you know if you need one and which is best for you. We can help.

ll through history, the Minions served the biggest, the baddest, the most dastardly humans they could. Each time their master would fall and they would move on, until finally they could find no more villains to serve. Creating a home of their own in the Arctic, the Minions partied and partied until they became bored, then finally depressed. Until one day Kevin decided it was time to go out into the world to find a new villain to serve. Not just any villain, but a super villainess in the year 1968, Scarlet Overkill (Sandra Bullock), and the modern Minion was born. We say, “Minions ride.” TAYLOR: I enjoyed Minions, after sitting through The Gallows on a Sunday afternoon,

it was a real palate cleanser. I’m not sure I understand the Minions exactly, but I’m trying. They seem to be doing good rather than evil. Everyone they serve either dies or is otherwise foiled. They care about each other and their friends. For the most part, they’re childlike and innocently adorable. However, if I forget
about what they are and focus on their antics, it becomes a fun and funny 90 minutes. HOWE: Maybe you found them fun. I found Minions about as much fun as watching paint dry. One word sums up Minions: Terrible with a huge capital T. I wanted to go home after the first 10 minutes and I haven’t felt like that since watching The Three Stooges. Minions isn’t funny. The evil villain Scarlet isn’t that evil and listening to the Minions waffle on in that baby googly gar-gar drivel for 90 minutes drove me crackers. It seems the Minions work better in smaller
installments, such as Despicable Me, because of the limited time they are in the movie. They can’t deliver when given their own big budget blockbuster. This has to go down as one of the most disappointing, eagerly awaited movies I have reviewed. FENIN: Dad, I have to agree with you. Even I didn’t find it that funny. The best bit was when they had to steal the crown. HOWE: Really Fenin? You were able to find a best bit in the movie? FENIN: OK, the best bit was getting the Minion cup with the popcorn. TAYLOR: Well, I liked the film. I like

their hodgepodge baby language. I thought the Minions were the highlight of Despicable Me 2. I think their abstractness and simplicity work together to create something that doesn’t exactly make sense, but is still some harmless fun and worthy of a movie. I think you two are over-thinking this one, Messieurs Howe junior and senior. Minions might be pointless, even underwhelming, but it’s still a silly good time. – Howe gives Minions a 0.5 seagull out of 5. – Fenin gives it 3 Kevins out of 5. – Taylor gives it 3.75 abominable snowmen out of 5.
The Caetani Cultural Centre and the Allan Brooks Nature Centre have welcomed local Silver Star and Vernon artist Destanne Norris into its Fresh! AiR residency program for June and July. Norris’ project, Whether from the Centre, comes from her fascination with weather formations and light in the sky. Her paintings depict both the inner and outer experiences of the land – both the in-scape and landscape simultaneously. During her residency, Norris is creating a multi-paneled six-byeight-foot painting that explores “weathering” and “whethering,” directly as metaphor for inner and outer life. Now in its third year of operation, The Fresh! AiR partnership between the Caetani Cultural Centre and the Allan Brooks Nature Centre features both a national and international flavour.

Vernon artist Destanne Norris gives a talk at the Allan Brooks Nature Centre Thursday.
Both organizations have hosted artists from Japan, Australia, South Africa, the U.S., and Canada. The program combines art and the environment, focusing on bringing awareness to environmental issues by presenting different ways of seeing and using innovative and out-of-the-box approaches. “The goal of the Fresh! AiR program is to encourage artists to approach creativity, exploration and research on habitat conserva-
tion in different ways and present the community with new ways of seeing, experiencing and interpreting art and the environment around us,” said Susan Brandoli, Caetani residency coordinator. The residency consists of a four-to-six week stay at the Caetani house in Vernon, and the artist can also draw upon the ample resources provided by the Allan Brooks Nature Centre. “Visiting artists have the opportunity to live and work in the Greater Vernon community, and interact with local artists and residents,” said Brandoli. Norris will give an artist presentation on her past work and her current project at the Allan Brooks Nature Centre this Thursday at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Visit www.caetani.ca for more information on the Caetani Cultural Centre’s artist-in-residence programs.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder SEND SUIT PREFERENCE EVEN IN NO-TRUMP Amy Lowell, who posthumously won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1926, said, “In science, read by preference the newest works. In literature, read the oldest. The classics are always modern.” In bridge, read the suitpreference signals in partner’s cards - but only when attitude and count are either known or clearly irrelevant. In our final deal this week, how can the defenders defeat three no-trump without needing to resort to guesswork? West leads his fourth-highest heart. East wins with the ace and returns his second heart. What happens after that? South’s two-no-trump
rebid shows a balanced hand with 12-14 points. (However, if you use twoover-one game-forcing, you may also make this rebid with 18-19 points because it is forcing. If partner raises to three no-trump, you invite a slam by bidding four notrump.) Declarer starts with five top tricks: one heart (from trick one), three diamonds and one club. He will hope that the club finesse is working. First of all, let’s assume South finesses his heart jack at trick two. West wins with his queen and must return the heart nine - his highest-remaining as a suit-preference signal, showing that his entry lies in spades, not diamonds. Then, after declarer takes
the losing club finesse, East will know which suit to return. (Note that if East shifts to diamonds, the contract makes. And unaided, he is likely to do that because South bid spades in the auction.) Secondly, if South wins trick two with his heart king, West must again signal with the nine.

Mary Wiggin (born Edith Mary McQuay) passed away peacefully on the day of her 91st birthday, July 15 2015. Mary’s full and rich life will be remembered for her extraordinary kindness, her devotion to family, immediate and extended, and a surprising competitive streak whenever a game of cards was involved. She enjoyed the last 25 years of her life in Vernon, BC, but her heart always remained with her beloved cottage at Lac Bernard, QC. Predeceased by her husband Jack Wiggin, Mary is survived by her five children, her brother, ten grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and countless sons- and daughters-in-law, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. She will be missed, but ever present in the hearts of those who loved her. Donations in Mary’s name to a local food bank or Doctors Without Borders are welcome.

Hilton Garner Spellman 1924 - 2015 Hilton G. Spellman was born in Regina Saskatchewan Dec. 17, 1924. He passed away peacefully surrounded by family at Vernon Jubilee Hospital July 7, 2015 at 90 years old. Hilton is survived by his sister: Gladys Miller of Duncan BC; 3 children: Evan (Jo Ann) Spellman of Prince Rupert, Karen(Gord) Meggait of Armstong, Darrel Spellman of Armstrong; and 4 grandchildren: Joseph, Jordanna , Sarina and Morgan . As a young boy in 1928, Hilton’s family left the farm in Saskatchewan and moved to California where he had many fond memories of fishing and spending time at the golf course collecting lost golf balls. Travelling to Florida in his childhood was a highlight as the family was involved in harness racing which he found very exciting . Hilton learned to fall trees in a camp on Vancouver Island when he was 17. He belonged to the forest rangers until he was drafted at 19 into the Second World War where he served overseas in Europe. Hilton spent most of his working career in the BellaCoola and Dean channel area of the west coast operating his tug boat and hand logging. Hilton’s greatest passion was prospecting and he never retired from searching for that “great find” and he enjoyed sharing his knowledge on the subject. Hilton had an adventurous spirit and had a twinkle of gold dust in his eyes, he will be missed .

The feeling of peace that washed over me was awesome. God Bless all, Joyce Ruoho NOTE ALSO: The person who helped themselves to the dozen
long stemmed red roses that I had placed on the reception desk in memory of all the flowers Andy and I exchanged over the last 11 years. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did not get a chance to. JR

The B.C. government is reviewing its penalties for those who start forest fires with campfires or discarded cigarette butts, as losses pile up from a severe early fire season. Prince GeorgeMackenzie MLA Mike Morris has been assigned to the review, as the province’s forest fire crews continue to work flat-out to keep up with lightning-caused fires and those caused by human carelessness. Morris said he will examine what new penalties can be effectively enforced. “For example, should we be banning those who break fire bans from attending our provincial parks?” Morris said. “Should we look at larger fines up to and including possibly of the impoundment of vehicles for those who flick lit cigarette butts out of their windows?” One tree faller has been killed as the B.C. Wildfire Service continues to work against 175 active wildfires, down from 200 since the start of the week due to cooler weather and showers. The service has tackled more than 1,000 forest fires so far this year, about a third of them human caused. “There are some who have suggested you can’t legislate against stupidity,” Forests Minister Steve Thomson said. “But if exploring the idea of increasing fines or acting on ideas that mean more people will get the message, I think we should be prepared to have a look at it.” Witnesses can report careless smokers or breaches of the province-wide outdoor fire ban with the same phone numbers as to report wildfires, 1-800663-5555 or *5555 on a mobile phone. Of the 14 new fires Monday, two are suspected to have been humancaused. About 375 of this season’s fires are listed as human-caused, burning 44,000 hectares. Most new forest fire starts this week have been from lightning
