Kalamalka Secondary school teacher Todd Wenger lets his fellow teachers James Carr (left) and Shon Thomas loose with shears during Wenger’s 10th annual Mohawks against Mutilation fundraiser at the school Wednesday. Wenger started the fundraiser after his mother died of cancer and it has now evolved into a fundraiser for local families coping with medical issues.
In small towns, people know people. Including suspected bank robbers. Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP report that just after 5 p.m. Monday, the branch manager of Valley First Credit Union in Armstrong called to report that, a short time earlier, a woman came into the bank and presented a note to one of the tellers, advising them that a robbery was taking place. “The note required the teller to ‘hand over all the money,’” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The suspect left the branch after the teller advised her that no money was kept in the drawers at the counter. The teller notified the manager but one of the other tellers recognized the suspect as she left the bank on a bicycle. “The suspect was located a short distance away and confronted by staff,” said Molendyk. “The police were contacted and the suspect has been arrested.” The suspect, aged 64, from the Armstrong area, has been released and is expected to appear in court on July 5 to answer to a charge of attempted robbery.
Downtown concert goers gain access to facilities ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Public washrooms will be open to summer downtown concert goers. Vernon council voted unanimously to spend $600 on a summer student to staff the council chamber washrooms on Thursday evenings from July 5 to Aug. 30 to facilitate the Downtown Vernon Association’s Civic Sounds Concert Series. The event is held at Spirit Square, between the old Vernon library and

“Why Spirit Square doesn’t have washrooms is mind boggling.” — Mary-Jo O’Keefe the Greater Vernon Museum, and, in the past, concert goers could use the public washrooms at the library. However, the library has since closed and will be used for city office

staff. “The washrooms at council chambers are available but, unfortunately, with the artwork and fixtures, we would need to staff the
facility,” said Ian Currie, city building services manager. While supporting the motion, Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe wondered why the old library washrooms couldn’t be used, and was vocally adamant that Spirit Square needs public facilities. “Why Spirit Square doesn’t have public washrooms is mind boggling,” said O’Keefe “I just don’t get it. We need public washrooms on this site for every
single event we have. This temporary solution (of staffing council chambers) isn’t going to work. We should be able to keep the public washrooms we already have. I don’t understand why the bathrooms were taken away.” A motion by Coun. Patrick Nicol to have the city’s tourism advisory committee come up with the $600 for the summer student did not receive a seconder and was defeated.

News Local wildlife spottings on the rise JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
A bear rummaging through garbage in Vernon has been destroyed and now a cougar has been caught on film in Coldstream. A Vernon family was startled by the large wild cat during a walk through Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park Sunday, June 3. Avril Small had stopped at a trail junction to take a picture of her two kids when she spotted something out of the corner of her eye in a tree almost directly above them. “My heart started beating really fast,� said Small, who caught a photo of the cougar with her 13-year-old daughter’s camera. “I’m originally from England and have never seen anything like that so I was pretty freaked out by it.� She immediately gathered her children without taking her eye off the cat and slowly backed away. Even though the cat never moved, she was eager to get away. “I just hot footed out of the park as fast as I could,� said Small, who figures they woke the cougar from a cat nap. Conservation officers have confirmed that there is a cougar, among other wildlife in the park. “We do get reports of sightings usually this time of year when there’s lots of deer,� said Kevin Wilson, BC Parks area supervisor for the North Okanagan. “Whenever there’s an abundance of food, which is deer, there are cougars.� While caution should always be exercised in the wildlife-packed park, Wilson says there has never been a problem with cougars. “The chance of an actual cougar attack is slim. The last one, outside of Vancouver Island, was probably 20 years ago, near Princeton,� said Wilson of the animals that tend to be reclusive. The fact that a local family actually saw a cougar is quite rare, said Wilson. “They’re tough to see. “In my time, I’ve only seen one.� The family’s reaction to the cougar is exactly the right approach for those that are lucky, or unlucky, enough to spot a cougar.

A brown bear peeks around the branches while up a tree on Mabel Lake Road in Lumby. “You’re supposed to stand tall, if you have children with you hold them and make yourself look as big as possible,� said Wilson. “Back away slowly and put your hands on
your head.� There was also a report of a dog getting bit by a rattlesnake in the park over the weekend – the dog survived the bite.
Therefore those using the park, particularly the back trails, are urged to keep their animals on a leash. “Kal Park is, for the most part, a wilderness park, there’s all sorts of animals there,� said Wilson. Bear sightings throughout the North Okanagan are also on the rise. Conservation officers had to destroy a young bear in Vernon Saturday, just above the courthouse. But unless they are posing a threat, generally the animals are left alone, according to conservation officers, who have been inundated with calls. “We’re getting three, four, five, six a day,� said Sgt. Josh Lockwood. “We can’t keep up. “As soon as the rain quit and the sun came out, so did everything else, including wildlife.�
Coldstream and the BX are reporting the most sightings, with concern for safety of children around schools. “We’ve been down to Kidston and Coldstream the last three days in a row,� Lockwood said Wednesday. “If you live near a school you’re putting the kids at risk if you leave your garbage out.�

College ‘food forest’ taking root this fall ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A community farm at Okanagan College in Coldstream is close to planting its first seeds. A year in the making since being talked about by the Partners in Action committee, the farm and a demonstration garden have been toiled on at the college, and hope to be ready to plant its “food forest” in the fall. “There’s two acres below the parking lot and this is not interfering with the (new) track project,” said Jane Lister, Okanagan College principal, to Vernon council. “It’s developing into a demonstration garden and a community farm. The purpose of Jane Lister the farm is to demonstrate sustainable agricultural practises, and offer different educational programming at the college.” The site has been prepared over the last year, which includes new drainage and topsoil, while site and business plans for the farm have been prepared. The farm will have community partnerships which includes Armstrong-based Kindale Developmental Association helping to develop the farm, and Wendy Aasen, longtime local food advocate in Vernon, has been hired as the farm coordinator. “We have community gardens which are an allotment style and are privately guarded,” said Aasen. “The concept behind the farm is different. We’ll take a collective approach and have everybody growing together.” The plan calls for having a staff person on-site at the farm, someone with an agricultural background who can deliver programs and be available to the broader community. “We’re going to rely on experts to put this together, to follow best practises along every step of the way,” said Aasen. Fundraising for the farm continues, but those involved hope to have their infrastructure in place by September, start to plant the farm’s food forest in the fall, and launch the community farm in the spring. There is talk about possibly expanding the farm in the future to such sites as O’Keefe Ranch. While working with the community is one aspect of the farm, another big component is agriculture education. Lister has been visiting other colleges and communities around the province. “We’re looking at things like half-day workshops to a 10-month new farmers’ program,” said Lister. Vernon Coun. Juliette Cunningham sees huge
potential in the community farm being based at the college. “The education and those kind of things could be a huge economic driver for our community,”
said Cunningham. “We should capitalize on that.” Coun. Patrick Nicol praised Lister for her work on fighting the Agricultural Land Commission to have the property removed from ALC lands.

Break eases flood watch JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
A break in the rain has helped ease flooding concerns locally. While local rivers and creeks are still running relatively high, water levels are going down in most areas. “It appears as though things are looking really good in the North Okanagan,” said Gord Molendyk. So good in fact, that the Emergency Operations Centre is considering scaling down its operation. Meanwhile, high

A truck makes a big splash through the water that pools in the 5200 block of Silver Star Road after days of rain led to some localized flooding. water has closed the BX Creek Trail after it washed out the bridge Monday. The trail is closed both from the falls and the BX Ranch Park. Pet owners are asked to keep their pets well away from the creek because of dangerously fast flowing water, haz-
ardous trees and unstable banks. A local labrador was swept away by the fast flowing BX Creek last week and later found deceased. East Vernon and Tillicum roads remain closed at the creek crossings while crews wait for a geotechnical assessment to be completed.
Work is underway on Enderby-Mabel Lake Road and is open to single-lane traffic after the road was flooded and damaged last week. Shuswap River continues to run substantially higher than usual. But the flood watch has ended near Lumby and downgraded to a high
stream flow advisory in Enderby. The sun is out today but rain is forecast for the weekend and into next week. June’s average rainful is approximately 42 millimetres for Vernon. So far this month the region has received nearly 60 millimetres.

Senior back on the track Morning Star Staff
It has been 44 years since Roy Clissold last burned rubber on a race track. The 70-year-old racing buff will be back in the driver’s seat Saturday night at the MotoPlex Speedway and Events Park as he relaunches his career in the Hornet class. “After 44 years of sitting back and watching races from the bleachers, and on TV, it’s time for one last fling,” said Clissold. “My wife (Leslie), son (Glen) and I opened an Aaron’s (Furniture) franchise in Vernon four years ago, and since Aaron’s is heavily involved in NASCAR racing in the U.S., we felt it would only be fitting to get involved in the local racing scene.” Over the last four years, the Clissolds have sponsored Summerland’s Sarah Cornett-Ching in the Street Stock and Sportsman series in her No. 99 Aaron’s Dream Machine. Clissold has been involved in racing since the early 1960s, officiating Formula One, Can-Am, Trans Am and USAC events. He was the head official at the only FIM Grand Prix motorcycle race ever held in Canada, in 1967. Clissold has built his Hornet class car to resemble the No. 55 Aaron’s Dream Machine driven by Batesville, Ariz.’s Mark Martin in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. He will also wear a custom-made Oakley replica Mark Martin fireproof driving suit. “Motoplex Speedway is one of the finest short track racing ovals on the continent, and it is a pleasure to compete on the D-shaped track,” said Clissold, whose son Glen will be sharing driving duties throughout the race season. The two will take turns at the wheel of a Toyota Celica. “It’s different for me as I have only driven on road courses before.” This will be Glen’s debut in racing full-sized cars. “If we like the competitive racing, we will have a couple of new cars built for us over next winter instead of sharing a car,” said Glen. “We would like to see the Hornet class increase in numbers; it’s a really affordable way to go racing and a lot of fun.” Hornet class cars have four cylinders and are allowed only limited modifications, which makes them ideal for beginner racers. Roy is issuing a challenge to other race enthusiasts to get in on the action. “The average enthusiast can get into racing at the entry level for less than $2,000. You’re never too old to have more fun.” The Saturday speedway event also features NSRA sprint car challenge, Okanagan dwarf cars and street stocks. Gates open at 5 p.m., with qualifying at 5:30 and racing at 6:30. Tickets are $25 ($20 for youth and adults), and children under 12 are free. For more information, visit www.motoplexspeedway.com.

Learning from the best
T
here is not enough space in this column to declare the love I had for my father. My dad, Bill, was the greatest. The son of a Canadian military boxing champ, and a boxing champion himself, Bill was determined to teach me the Sweet Science. That was evident after I received not one, but two sets of boxing gloves as a Christmas present. In the basement of Roger Knox our small family home, which is now where Okanagan Spring Brewery is, Bill laced up my gloves, then his, and proceeded to give me boxing lessons. One of the most important was to keep my gloves up near my face. I then got an up close, personal look at a Bill right-hand jab to my nose, which resulted in a bleeding nose and loud tears from me, which then resulted in my mom, Florrie, bounding down the stairs to see what had happened. “He didn’t keep his gloves up,” explained Bill as Florrie gave him a death stare while she tended to my bloody nose. Dad felt so bad that he took me to the Tastee Freez for an ice cream cone. There were times Bill would get home from a hard day of loading and unloading fruits and vegetables from the local growers at the B.C. Fruit Shippers warehouse, where he worked, and would just be sitting down for a hot meal, cooked by Florrie, when the phone would ring. “Dad, the umpire didn’t show up for our baseball game. Can you come and umpire?” I asked. I don’t ever recall him saying no. Speaking of B.C. Fruit Shippers, dad would often let me come to work with him. He installed a basketball hoop there for me, and, on hot summer days, he’d let my friends and I play

road hockey in one of the empty cold storage warehouses. He’d let me lay flat on the pallets, then pick up the pallets with the forklift and raise them as high off the ground as the forklift would allow. He also paid me to stamp the date on the packages of green and red peppers, or other fruits and vegetables, then watch as I’d rush off with my newfound riches to the Tastee Freez. Dad was great at practical jokes. He came bursting into the house one time screaming at the top of his lungs. “GET OUT HERE RIGHT NOW,” he bellowed at me, and I had no idea what I had done. Dad was in the midst of building a shed attached to the house. “You said you wanted to do some painting, well now’s your chance,” he said as he watched his youngest turn into a basic puddle of goo in front of his eyes, then he burst into laughter, knowing he’d scared the crap out of me. Oh, and remember the pallet story from a few paragraphs back? One time, he got off the fork lift and went and had a smoke, leaving me suspended in the air with no way down. I think they heard my screams at Polson Park. Bill died when I was just 12, and for years and years, I was angry at my two older brothers and older sister, angry that they got to spend way more time with my dad than I did, and I felt cheated. Counselling helped me get over that. It wasn’t their fault. On Oct. 30, 1999, I became a father and it remains the greatest moment of my life. That won’t ever change. I am sorry that my boy, Sam, never got to meet Grandpa Bill but I tell him the stories. My own son is 12 now, and I’ve used a lot of what Bill showed me in 12 years on him, including telling him to keep his gloves up. I don’t need a gift on Father’s Day Sunday. I already got the best ones: a great son and a great role model for which to raise him.
At a time when the world is in financial turmoil and people are looking for some stability, Queen Elizabeth II is as good a person to look to as anyone. Not just for the Commonwealth countries over which she symbolically rules, but as a global picture of modest leadership. Recent polls show that support for maintaining Canada’s ties to the monarchy are on the upswing among English-speaking Canadians. Part of that reversal of trend from say, five or six years ago, is likely due to last year’s royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton. But large kudos have to be given to William’s grandmother, who has traditionally held her own in polls when it comes to popularity or respect, regardless of the general feeling about the monarchy. In the 60-plus years since her coronation, Queen Elizabeth has quietly done her job as the head of state, sparking very little controversy and avoiding interference in political matters, especially those of countries other than Britain. For now, the Queen, 86, shows few signs of slowing down, especially as she heartily celebrates the start of her seventh decade on the throne with a series of celebrations at home and abroad. To be sure, the future of the monarchy as it relates to Canada will one day require more serious discussions than relying on poll results. But with the Canadian public remaining as enthralled with the Royal Family as any other type of international celebrities, our links to the Queen and the Crown appear firmly entrenched. As we muddle our way through tough times, that’s comforting to know. ---Black Press

City should think like an entrepreneur
A
fter leaving the Planners Breakfast the other day I felt a bit concerned about the fate of our small diamond-in-the-rough community. Basically what I heard was because we don’t really have any major industry here, the reason people come is because it’s a nice place to live. Maybe they have choice about where they live with how they work, maybe they’re retired, maybe they’re seasonal residents – whatever the reason, they’re here because it’s the sunny Okanagan. I don’t know about you, but for me, it kind of feels like one of those situations where the diagnosis could be fatal, but at least we know what the disease is. Maybe we can treat it. Now that we have the prognosis, how do we treat it? Well, here’s what we know: Most young people are leaving this community. They can’t get jobs that pay enough to support their families. All those vacation home dollars that were flooding into this community are being redirected to a cheap U.S. housing market. People come to the Okanagan because it’s a nice place to live, but Vernon hasn’t, IN RESPONSE I wrote a letter to the editor the other day and in it pointed out that the BC Conservatives believe in liberty and self-sufficiency. Several days later Jim Miles wrote a well-written editorial to rebut my letter. Mr. Miles pointed out that society needs government because we need rule of law and infrastructure. He went on to argue that none of us is completely self-sufficient, and that all of us are where we are because society helps us, and that there is no such thing as a liberated self-sufficient individual. I completely agree with everything he said …right up to his conclusion. In Mr. Miles' own words: "If I am to vote for a government I will vote for one that will provide services to my fellow citizens, whether I need those services or not." The problem I have with his conclusion is that he's mixing up two concepts - society and government. Yes we do depend on other people. That cooperation constitutes society. But society is not government. Society exists quite apart from the

in my opinion, done a great job at making this a great place to live. Our downtown is deserted most nights of the week. We don’t have any amenity on our waterfront, our bike paths are scattered and neither entrance to the city is anything to be proud of. So where is the market shifting? Where’s the opportunity? One thing we’re seeing on the mortgage financing end are more people who do have the benefit of mobility with their live/work locations, starting to look at Vernon now as a place to move to. Depressed pricing is creating an opportunity for purchasers to move into a market
political regime of the day - people depended upon one another just as much under the economic carte blanche of the early European industrial revolution as they do today under the socialist government of Sweden. Government has never been more than a mediator of society. We don't lose society just because the government changes. A conservative view of liberty and self-sufficiency doesn't mean living in a Hobbesian state of Nature with no government at all, and it certainly doesn't mean we should all stop helping each other…it just means less intrusive government. Do we need laws? Of course we do. Do we need things like roads and hospitals? Obviously. Do we need a basic safety net to help people who can't help themselves? Of course. Is government the best organization to supply those things? I would say yes. Government is a necessary institution and only a raving anarchist would argue otherwise. Conservatives' disagreement with so-called progressives isn't wheth-
that may have previously been unaffordable. For example, northern B.C. residents experiencing an upswing in their market are selling high and relocating to Vernon where they can buy low. As entrepreneurs, we really have to start thinking outside the box, rallying together to support each other, start pushing our city council to improve our downtown, beautify the entrances to the city, give us a waterfront, connect our bike paths and make this city something to be proud of and to shout from the rooftops to those that want to come and live here. The city itself needs to start thinking
er we need government or not, it's whether we should be so dependent upon government. I recently heard a news report about a water problem somewhere in Canada, where a school had to shut off its drinking water supply because a few kids got sick. A week later the problem was fixed and you'd think that would be it. But the news report went on to say that "counselors were present to help the kids get over their fear of contamination." Really? Do we really need government-sponsored counselors to help us drink water? Sure that's an extreme example, but it's indicative of a trend toward looking to government to solve every problem. I for one don't want my kids to be so cradled by government that they can't function without counselors hovering over them. Does that mean I'm in favour of closing down nursing homes and turning the elderly into the street to fend for themselves? Of course not. What it does mean is I want government to trim itself back from areas in
like an entrepreneur, to start thinking like the majority of its resident business owners. It isn’t enough to play off of the major investments of big believers in this community like Wesbild, Sparkling Hill, Silver Star and the Rise. Those tigers are fighting hard on behalf of this city, but they have been fighting alone. They need a partner in this community to support those efforts – they need soldiers to stand beside them in the battle that is this global economy. I have been a lifetime resident of this community, a community that I have loved, have put my blood, sweat and tears into, have believed in and fought for. But over the past several years I haven’t been proud to call it home and quite honestly have contemplated a move myself. I want to have a love affair with this community again, I want to be so proud of it I shout it from the rooftops. I beg of city council to help all of our residents fall madly in love again with this place. So we can all be proud again to live here, to call this amazing city home. Krystine McInnes
which it doesn't belong. Take for example the BC Liberal's $1.9-million provincial "informed dining program," which was supposed to reduce obesity by encouraging restaurants to list the calories in their dishes. Never mind that several university studies and health professionals show that the program doesn't work. Never mind that $1.9 million has been taken out of our pockets and thrown away. After all, what's a couple of million in today's era of kazillion dollar boondoggles? The program doesn't work, but if it did, wouldn't that mean that the B.C. government is actually hurting the private weight loss sector in B.C. by competing with it? And at the end of it all, are we better off? Are we less obese as a society now than we were 100 years ago? Are we better off as individuals and as a society because government is in charge of more and more of our money? Are we more caring because government is bigger? Are we happier? I'll let the reader answer those questions. Scott Anderson

It seems fitting that a man named Bob Karr, who has restored one antique car into an award winner, would be into vehicles. But ask Karr, 65, a Vernon heavy equipment operator, if he gets asked that a lot, and he simply shrugs his shoulder. “Nope, not really,” smiles Karr, who drives a 2001 Mustang convertible that he shares with his wife, Monica, and a 1997 Dodge pickup. The award winner he keeps in his garage: a 1925 Model T Ford Depot Hack truck. Karr bought the more-than-slig htlyused 1925 vehicle off a friend’s father on B o w e n Island three years ago. He started restoring the vehicle “10 minutes after he — Bob got it home to Vernon,” and it took him two years to complete as Karr replaced everything on the original model. “Restoring the vehicle was something to do, I was interested in trying it and the opportunity came up,” said Karr, who had never restored any

both registration and admission to the show are by donation. “Expect to see everything from antiques to street rods and, because vintage is about 20 years or older, there could be vehicles from the 1990s,” said Karr. “There will be music, 50/50 draws and door prizes.” Karr and his Model

The Venture received extensive front-end damage and its air bags deployed, while the Tahoe suffered damage near the driver’s door where it was struck. There were minor injuries to both drivers.

Swan’s life memorialized Morning Star Staff
The majestic legacy of a Polson Park icon is being remembered. City of Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky will perform a ceremony Saturday, June 23 at 11 a.m. in Polson Park near the windmill by the pond that Duchess swam in. The ceremony is to dedicate a plaque, donated by the citizens who loved Duchess, to the memory of the swan. Duchess, the swan who graced Vernon’s Polson Park for more than 25 years, was injured Feb. 20, nursed back to health by City of Vernon staff, returned to the park Feb. 24 and passed away Feb. 28. When her mate was killed approximately 15 years ago, Duchess formed a bond with Ron Gibson, a City of Vernon Building Maintenance employee. Duchess and Gibson made news headlines last February and city staff set up a page for her http:// www.vernon.ca/swan/index.html CITY OF VERNON PHOTO

Route change drives concern JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Jennifer Wimperis boards the city bus three to five times a week. She relies on it to get to town. In fact, half the reason she bought her Kalview Drive home was because there was a bus stop nearby. Therefore she was disheartened to discover, following a recent month-long vacation, that part of the No. 6 route she has been faithfully riding for more than 10 years has been cut. While BC Transit recently celebrated a fresh start in Vernon with a new exchange and expanded hours, it also stripped a section of the route beyond Okanagan College – around Lakeview and Fitzmaurice Road. “When I first came to Coldstream the bus came once an hour...now there’s no bus,” said Wimperis of the No. 6. The approximately threeminute loop removed from the No. 6 was due to low ridership. “The removal of this compo-

A section of the No. 6 transit route in Coldstream has been cut, saving $13,000 but leaving a few riders stranded. nent of the route is estimated to save approximately $13,200 per annum,” according to the Vernon Regional Transit Review. Wimperis admits that sometimes she was the only one on the bus during that loop, but she never imagined it would be cancelled. Now, she has to walk a mile to the college in order to catch the bus. She is hoping Coldstream can help her get BC Transit on board with an on-call system for the abandoned loop. But it doesn’t look very
promising. “Route No. 6 has been on the radar as a cost concern for a number of years,” said Trevor Seibel, Coldstream’s director of financial administration. “This is the first formal complaint we’ve received on the change to this route.” While the situation is unfortunate, Coun. Peter McClean says it all comes down to dollars and sense. “To have it servicing one or two people potentially during the week, it’s too expensive for the municipality.”

One of Vernon’s popular family events takes place Sunday in Coldstream. The 13th annual Do It For Dad Father’s Day Run/Walk, presented by Interior Savings Credit Union, takes place at the Coldstream Ranch. Registration for the event begins at 8:30 a.m. with the running and walking commencing at 9:30 a.m. Since 2003 more than $218,000 has been raised by the Vernon Prostate Cancer Support and Awareness Group and the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation through Do It For Dad. The event was started by Dr. April Sanders, who remains the honorary chairperson. Last year’s event raised more than $25,000 which was used to help purchase a resectoscope – an instrument used in the treatment of prostate cancer – at Vernon Jubilee Hospital.

Silver Star rallies for Relay For Life Morning Star Staff
Silver Star Mountain Resort continued its quest to help find a cure for cancer at the Relay for Life Vernon at Polson Park. This year Team Silver Star raised more than $7,000 for cancer research, making it one of
the top fundraising teams at the event. Fundraising efforts occurred throughout the year including a silent auction at Silver Star’s 2nd annual wine tasting event, snowshoe walk fundraising event and all proceeds from the inaugural annual chili cook-off.
All together theVernon Relay for Life event raised over $106,000 for cancer survivors and vital research. Silver Star has been participating in the Relay For Life since 2007 as an event sponsor as well as a participating team. Team Silver Star

walked roughly 100 kilometres collectively around Polson Park oval during the 12-hour relay. This year’s fundraising campaign brings Silver Star’s six-year fundraising total to more than $57,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. Team Silver Star again hosted a food and beverage concession at the event to help fuel the participants of the walking relay. Supported and supplied by some of Silver Star’s key partners, Pepsi and Sysco and run by the resort chefs, this year’s concession generated $900 revenue which all went to the Relay For Life. The 2012 Relay For Life had 302 participants and 36 teams in total which is a bit lower than year’s past, however,
the event actually raised more money than previous year’s. “It was a great example of how dedicated participants of this event are. Despite being down in the number of fundraisers this group was able to exceed last year’s total” commented Jennifer Dies, the Coordinator for Relay For Life Vernon. Jennifer also added that the event relies heavily on sponsors like Silver Star, The Morning Star, Sun FM, Nor-Val Rentals, Evolution Audio and Global TV Okanagan and could not be done without their generous support. Silver Star is already making plans for next year’s event and encourages other companies to take up the challenge of fundraising for Relay For Life.

RBC Cup assists minor hockey Morning Star Staff
If you’re involved in minor hockey in the North Okanagan, you can participate in a major celebration Saturday. A kickoff rally will be held to mark Vernon being named the host for the 2014 RBC Cup Junior A national championship. The half-hour rally beings at noon as part of the Downtown Vernon Association’s Sunshine Festival. “The rally will be lively and entertaining, but the main reason for you to attend is an important announcement about a partnership between local minor hockey teams and the RBC Cup organizers,” said Chris Collard, RBC Cup co-chairperson. Hockey Canada will be on hand for the rally as will members of former Vernon Lakers and Vernon Vipers teams.

Charity golf gala benefits VJH Morning Star Staff
With the number of local cancer patients more than doubling in the past 10 years, the need for additional space and services is long overdue. Which is why this year’s Fairway Gala and Golf Tournament will pair Predator Ridge Resort with an important community cause – Vernon Jubilee Hospital. The charity classic event takes to the greens at Predator Aug. 11 and 12 in support of cancer care at VJH. “The first two Home
Hardware Charity Classic events, held in August 2010 and 2011, netted $335,000 that purchased medical equipment for the new Polson Tower,” said organizing chairperson Val Harrison. “The Tower of Care Campaign is complete but needs at the hospital are ever growing.” Each year, Vernon Jubilee Hospital receives more than 3,500 visits from local patients who have received a cancer diagnosis; this is more than double the numbers seen as little as 10 years ago.
Currently, the McMur tr y-Baerg Cancer Centre is expanding into space vacated by the ICU and Cardiac Care units. This expansion has allowed for the addition of a second medical oncologist, Dr. Mike Humphreys, who will assist Dr. Ed Hardy with cancer care and treatment needs. The two-day event supporting the cause starts with a Fairway Gala, under a huge tent, sponsored by Graham Construction Saturday night. Dress code for the
night is more casual than a traditional gala, but there will be no lack of the fine food prepared by the chefs at Predator Ridge. CBC news anchorman, Tony Parsons, will emcee the jam-packed program. The Vegas-style golf tournament swings into action Sunday with a shot-gun at 1 p.m. “There will be lots of fun activity and thanks to Predator Ridge’s generosity there will be an astonishing $10,000 prize table,” said Harrison. “Talent and low scoring won’t
necessarily guarantee that you will walk away with the prizing.” For information or to register call the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation at 250-558-1362 or email andrea.egan@interiorhealth.ca or download a brochure at www. vjhfoundation.org

Nitros tie up timbermen Morning Star Staff
Perhaps inspired by underdogs like Denmark and Croatia in Euro 2012, Davidson & Co. Dynamite salvaged a 1-1 draw with the mighty North Enderby Timber Wednesday night at Marshall Field #2. The eighth-place Nitros improved to 2-4-2, while the second-place Timber went to 5-2-1 in the North Okanagan Soccer League. A defensive miscue led to Davidson taking the lead early in second half. Veteran defender Andy Stein tried to play the ball back to replacement keeper Brent Poulsen and headed it by Poulsen. Seb Leck had started the play with a shot for the Nitros. Harminder Sandhu replied for NET about 15 minutes later, bringing down a 40-yard cross inside the box and, showing a calm demeanor, slotted the ball home nicely to the right side. NET controlled the majority of the play but was unable to get any more past Davidson keeper Ean Ross, who recorded a fabulous save on a two-man breakaway. Bryce Marshall was Libra Video Man of the Match for the Timber. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He only played in the second half, but slowed the overall game down, making smart simple plays to control the midfield,â&#x20AC;? said NET veteran Graham Ross. In other NOSL action Wednesday night, Monashee Surveying and Vernon Hi-Pro Sports Camels battled to a 1-1 draw at Marshall #2. The Camels used their youth, twisting and turning to create lots of action. Monashee, however, struck first on a great passing effort with star rookie Daniel Lustsenko finishing on a ball left for the taking on the top of the six. The Humpbacks (3-3-2) pushed back, keeping Monashee pinned in their own end. A ball popped out to open midfielder John Pfaffenrot, whose 25-yard strike caught stand-in keeper Darren Nobrega off his line for the equalizer. Monashee (3-2-3) just fell short of the go-ahead marker in the final minute of play on a goal-line rush. Stingy defence by both clubs limited the scoring chances. Two games scheduled for Salmon Arm were postponed due to field closures.

Alex Farina (right) of North Enderby Timber and Noah Varley of Davidson & Co. Dynamite have an aerial battle for the ball in North Okanagan Soccer League play Wednesday night at Marshall Field.
The Vernon United bounced the Kamloops Blaze 3-1 in Thompson Okanagan Under 13 Boys Rep Soccer League playoff action Wednesday afternoon at Marshall Field #5. United (2-4-1) fell behind in the third minute when an 0-6-1 Kamloops winger outran the Vernon defence and shot the ball just past the reach of Vernon keeper Elias Jensen. United converted at 27 minutes when Reed Cashato intercepted a clearing attempt, beat the lone defender and deftly chipped the ball over the onrushing keeper. Seconds into the second half, Kevin Thibault hit the post after being set up nicely by Cashato. Vernon midfielders Liam Hennig, Charis Ondrik, Langdon Kersey and Matthew Jackson kept possession and had the best passing sequences of the season with the forwards, who created countless chances. The back line of Jay MacKenzie, Sam Eggert, Morgan Nichols and Peter Hirschkorn werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overly busy in the second half but helped spark the Vernon attack. The breakthrough came with six minutes to play when striker Malcolm Wiens was taken down inside the 18. He calmly converted the penalty, going high left. With less than five minutes to play, Vernon kept the pressure on and sealed the win on the play of the year. Wiens ran onto a through ball up the right side, going deep before crossing it into the area where a determined Nichols finished from eight yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The boys showed a lot of character coming back from 1-0,â&#x20AC;? said United coach Rolf Hirschkorn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would have been easy for them to just pack it in. The passing was exceptional and the boys played some of their best soccer of the season.â&#x20AC;? Owen Burnet and Cam MacKenzie were noted for their strong play down the left side, while Tiege Doughty and Kenzel Aarst-Roman provided great service from the right. Vernon, who finished fourth, meets first-place Kelowna United Saturday, noon, in semifinal play at Kings Park.

Baby Rocks banged up Morning Star Staff
The injury bug has caught up with the Armstrong Junior Shamrocks. With 12 starters watching from the stands, the Shamrocks dropped their third straight Thomspon Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League tilt with an 11-8 loss to the Kamloops Venom Wednesday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. The second-place Rocks (4-5-2) raced out to a 3-0 lead against the league-leading Venom (9-0-1) on goals by Brett Hawrys, Kyle Versteeg and Drew Davies. That chased the Kamloops starting goalie, and Hawrys potted his second as the Shamrocks took a 4-2 lead into the intermission. Armstrong goalie Trent Gabriel was outstanding recording more than 50 shots to keep his undermanned team in the game. Hawrys scored his hat trick goal and the Venom allowed an own goal to give Armstrong an 8-6 lead going into the third period. A late second-period scrap between Hawrys and Kamloops’ Riley Donahue put Hawrys out for the remainder of the game. Other injuries to the
Shamrocks left them with just eight runners, and the Venom capitalized, scoring twice on the man advantage to secure the win. “The committed players who showed up tonight to play earned a lot of respect from us coaches,” said Armstrong assistant coach Ryan Nitchie. “These guys played through injuries, tired and beat up and showed us true Shamrock pride.” Added head coach Pat Nelson: “Trent was unreal; some of the finest goaltending we’ve seen and he really gave our team a chance. He has a great attitude and shows incredible commitment coming all the way from Osoyoos to help us out.” Due to mounting injuries, the Shamrocks have cancelled their game against the South Okanagan Flames (3-8-1) Sunday in Penticton. They hope to have a full roster for a June 8 make-up game against the Flames Tuesday night (7:30) at Nor-Val. Meanwhile, the 4-5-1 Vernon Re/Max Tigers were searching for a third straight win as they visited the 4-6-1 Kelowna Raiders Thursday night at Memorial Arena. The Cats entertain the Flames Saturday at Wesbild Centre.
Canadians’ comeback too late Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Canadians spotted the Kelowna Ramblers seven runs before scoring five of their own in a 9-8 Pee Wee All-Star baseball loss Tuesday night at Lombardy Park. Slugger Justin Adams smacked a grand slam homer to touch off Kelowna’s seven-run first inning, and later hit a HR which popped out of Jarod Leroux’s glove as he leaned over the fence. Ethan Huizinga smacked a double to score Dawson Chase and Caden Doyle, while Leroux drove a long single off the left centre field fence to score Huizinga, who had swiped third, to highlight Vernon’s five-run fifth. The Canadians tied things at 8-8 with two runs in the seventh inning. Huizinga drew a walk, stole second and scored on a Leroux single, while Landon Currie singled in Leroux, who had swiped second and third.
Kelowna pushed across the winning run with two away in their half of the seventh. Starter Keaton Mandryk gave up five hits in 1 2/3 innings work before giving the way to Chase, who allowed just two hits the rest of the way. The C’s outhit the Ramblers 10-7 with Kadyn Thomas, Currie and Leroux each earning two hits. Vernon (15-8-2) have two rain out games with the Kamloops River Dogs left to play before the playoffs. Currie leads the C’s with a scorching .666 batting average, followed by Thomas at .520, Chase at .450 and Huizinga and Nathan Nesbitt at .420. Leroux sits at .390. Said Vernon head coach Rick Leroux: “Now that the big push is over to get all these games played, we can now look forward to some much needed practice time so we can work on the little things that can make our team better as we prepare for the Zone championships.”

Chiefs to host inaugural Showcase All but one B.C. Hockey League team will be starting the 2012-13 season on the road. The Chilliwack Chiefs will host the inaugural BCHL showcase, with each of the 16 teams playing a pair of weekend games, Sept. 7-9, at Prospera Centre. Each game counts towards the regular-season standings. The Vipers will open the mini-tourney against the defending RBC Cup champion Penticton Vees in a 3:30 p.m. matinee, Saturday, Sept. 9. They then battle the Coastal Conference champion Powell River Kings Sunday morning (10:30). “It’s a good start to our league where we can get all the players, refs and teams together and get on the same page,” said Vipers’ head coach/GM Jason Williamson. The Showcase will also serve as a potential recruiting tool for college scouts. “It’s good for the scouts,” said Williamson. “We’re a developmental league and it’s good to get those guys to see our players first and get it in their head that there are a lot of good players in our league.”
STAY & PLAY
Morning Star Staff/B.C. Hockey League
This time last year, former Vernon Vipers defenceman Kevin Kraus was making ends meet by bartending and landscaping. That was before the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Revelstoke Grizzlies offered him a position as assistant coach. After just one season behind the bench, Kraus, a native of Garden Grove, Calif., has landed his first head coaching gig. The former Viper captain and two-time RBC Cup champion will take over the reigns from Randy Quakenbush for the coming season. “Even when I was still playing in the BCHL, I always thought about getting into coaching,” said Kraus, 22. “I got a call (last summer) to apply for Revelstoke, went from there and I’ve never looked back. I always thought I was a better teacher than a player.” Kraus, who spent time in the WHL with the Kamloops Kevin Kraus Blazers and Tri-City Americans before coming to Vernon, says two of his biggest influences were from his time with the Vipers. “Early on in my career, I had some guys take me under their wing and teach me some stuff. Mark Ferner (former Viper head coach, now with the WHL Everett Silvertips) is an unbelievable teacher and a great coach, so I respect what I learned in Vernon with Jason (Williamson) and Mark.” Kraus didn’t learn he was getting the head coach title until after all other KIJHL teams had held their spring camps, which makes his job of attracting players that much more difficult. “The hardest part is trying to recruit kids; being a young coach trying to convince kids to come play is challenging,” he said.

King forces checkmate on Outlaws Morning Star Staff
Dr. Lee Dental stretched their unbeaten streak to eight games by stopping the Little Tex Outlaws 5-2 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 1 play Tuesday night at Marshall #2. Down by a goal 10 minutes in, the Floss Crew turned up the heat and Kim Teichman equalized on a solo effort, making a run from defence through several Outlaw players at 20 minutes. Former University of Idaho Vandal Andi King resumed her torrid scoring pace, putting Dr Lee up 2-1 at half after a great pass from Toni Bensmiller. King made it 3-1 on a goal-mouth scramble early in the second half, and Leah Frye, just getting back into her old form from three years ago, after having two wonderful children, made it 4-1, Madison Kaneda setting her up. Kaneda finished off the scoring off a corner kick that deflected off a Little Tex player into the net. The 2-4-1 Outlaws had several chances in the last 15 minutes, scoring once, but were stopped twice on breakaways by Lisa Arrotta. Dr. Lee (7-0-1) welcomed back Boston Pizza Lady of the Match Ally Dodds, who had a solid game at midfield. No Little Tex goal scorers were provided.
Celtics shift past Glenn Power It appears all the NET Celtics have been watching every minute of Euro Cup 2012 over the last week. The Celtics took down Glenn Power of Salmon Arm 3-2 Tuesday night at Marshall #4 to leapfrog the Shuswap crew into second place. Ashley Krause scored two great goals in the first half for the 3-2-2 Celtics. NET took an early lead when a Euro-class corner was played in by rookie Kayla Ostafie who found flick-on master Carly smith making a near post run. The ball popped out to Krause who looked more like Miroslav Klose with her composure on the ball to drive a hard shot off the bounce. The defender stretched out only to get a piece of the ball as it squeaked over the line. Krause got her second goal in as many shots as she physically dominated the centre midfield, winning most of the 50/50 balls in the centre of the pitch. Krause brought down a loose ball to casually beat three defenders and slot the ball home, bottom right. The Celtics took a 3-0 lead when veteran speedster Jackie Morneau broke past defenders on a great through ball from Shannon Walton. Morneau’s wheels gave her nothing but time as she shot the ball over the keeper,
The score could have been higher but Sista keeper Suzyn August made some great diving saves and quick reactions. Lesley Williams really turned on the jets in the second half and consistently won loose balls for the 0-8-1 Sista’s, who also got inspired showings from Sasha Schenker and centreback Sherry Wiebe. Andrea Zubot crossed to a wide open Schenker who appeared to have nothing but net until the 2-4-2 Rosters keeper came out of nowhere.
Winning kicks for Chicks The Chick Kickers cranked up their offence in a 7-0 punishing of Setters Pub in Salmon Arm. The Chicks erupted for five first-half goals before slowing things down. Despite having six subs, coach Mike Johnson said the Kickers still managed to keep great flow and shape. Michelle Johnson and Mel Jacobs each scored twice for the third-place Chicks (6-1), while singles went to Crystal Bergman, Jenny Garnett and Bonnie Mann. The shutout was shared by Colline Johnson and Tricia Cox. Setters dipped to 2-4-1. Goplen’s Drillers won their second straight game on a puddle-filled field in Salmon Arm, b;anking Shuswap Kaos 2-0.

Engravers draw Wabbit pack Morning Star Staff
Caufield Engraving Lambos and Williams’ Waskiwy Wabbits played to an exciting 2-2 tie in Under 18 girls House soccer playoff action Saturday afternoon at Marshall Field. Jessica Okert opened the scoring for Caufield, but the Wabbits levelled the score only a few minutes later and went ahead on a scramble. Caufield scored the only goal of the second half as Bailey Limb took a through ball, burying a top-corner blast from the edge of the 18. Caitlin Kiss made a fine defensive play for Caufield in the late going, sweeping a loose ball off the line. Kendra Racine also had a strong game for Caufield on the back line. The final pool games go tonight. The U18 girls semifinals go Saturday at noon, with Sunday’s Vernon Cup final also slated for noon, all at Marshall. The Royal LePage Red Bulls split their last two U13 boys game, ending the regular season with a 4-2 loss Saturday to Ben Moore’s Royal LePage Blues. David Heng (game MVP) scored both goals for the Red Bulls, with magical shots that the keeper had no chance on. Marcelo Suro and Connor Johnston set up the goals. Gaman Singh, Nick Alveberg, Kieran Webster and John Bernakavitch were strong throughout, while hustler awards went to Shane Pelkey and Johnson. In the first leg of the Vernon Cup Sunday, the Red Bulls shelled the Royal LePage Whites 8-1. Three players scored
their first goals of the year for the Red Bulls: Gavin Donald (2), Max Fenn and Johnston. Johnston added four assists and Donald had three. Other goals came from Pelkey, Kye Fentimen and Dylan Henry, on a penalty shot. Hayden Broderick played strong defence along with Singh and big Josh Baker. In U15 girls action, the Subway Sharks ambushed Subway Green Hornets 5-0 in the first game of the Vernon Cup. The Sharks struck quickly when Maddie Powls converted a pass from Karley Geefs in the second minute. Latisha Baker followed up with two more quick goals. The first came off another Geefs’ pass, while Katie MacGillivray set up the second with a through ball. Powls got her second of the game just before halftime off a MacGillivray corner that Carlee Meausette redirected to the far post. The Green Hornets came out hard in the second half and got a strong defensive effort from Mary-Rose Cohen and good hustle from midfielder Eliese Smart. In the dying seconds, Meausette was sent in alone by Nikki Watson and rang a shot off the post. Sarah Wiebe tucked in the rebound. Cherish Ayers and MacGillivray shared the shutout. The Sharks got strong defence from Nicole Skidmore and Sarah Orr. In other U15 action, the Subway Vanilla Ice came away with a 1-1 tie with the Subway Trackers. Vanilla Ice struggled to trap the ball with the wet conditions

Josie Kowoski lobbed a high shot over the Tracker keeper for the Vanilla Ice goal after a last push from forwards Dayna Whibley, Julia Wendt, Splawinski, Alicia Hill-Turner and Taylor DaSilva. Excellent support was given in the midfield by Camryn Sproule. The final is Sunday, 3 p.m., at Marshall #4. In late-reported U11 Girls Rep play, the United #1 crew tied Kelowna 3-3 after falling 4-1 to Kamloops. Elena Gaskell showed great patience on the ball as she negotiated several defenders to feed Olivia McLennan for Vernon’s only goal in the loss. Kamloops dominat-
ed play in the first half, but excellent defensive play by Carly Southam and Emily Thomas kept the Blazers at bay, while keeper Erica Simpson held Kamloops to two. In Game 2, Emilia Durfeld, Mia Dougan, and Chloee Richey worked the lines well, closing down Kelowna attacks, and consistently winning possession. Early in the second half, Gaskell opened the scoring. McLennan made it 2-0 shortly after on a breakaway before Kelowna answered with two unanswered goals. Vernon kept the pressure on, resulting in a through ball to Jayden Strachan who put Vernon ahead again until Kelowna responded with the equalizer.

Education key to change JANE MUSKENS Special to The Morning Star
I
f we knew everything ahead of time, we would be able to predict what kind of skills and jobs are going to be required in the future and what jobs wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be around in the next five years. Colleges and universities could build programs for tomorrow instead of reacting to a need today. And nobody would be unemployed because we would train and educate for the indemand jobs of tomorrow. But this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a perfect world and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s around the corner. Occupations can disappear overnight due to technology and new ones can emerge quickly because of consumer demand. We live in an economic world that includes just-in-time production, embraces innovation and is willing to adopt change to increase profits, thereby driving up the demand for on-the-spot skills training and on-going continual learning for employees. This puts a lot of pressure on colleges and universities to deliver programs and courses which upon graduation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; maybe two or four years later â&#x20AC;&#x201C; provides industry with a worker who can meet current job expectations. Add to this societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expectations of having those same colleges and universities provide a better educated and trained workforce, yielding a competitive edge that will help attract multinational corporations to set up shop in Canada. So how do we make this all work? Unfortunately, in Canada we have an unemployment system which is supposed to bridge the earning gap
between losing your job and finding another job, usually with the same skill set. So what happens to those workers when there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t another job to go to? In other Jane Muskens words, what happens when unemployment occurs due to radical shifts in technology, which can permanently devalue an entire skill category? These are the challenges that come with managing a labour market and trying to keep it as progressive as possible. In countries such as Canada, governments have struggled with providing programs to help workers transition out of current occupations into retraining and hopefully a new career. These programs come and go and with the recent budget cuts it will be interesting to see if any remain. Canada faces labour shortages in the resource sector where these industries are expecting a shortage of 1.5 million workers, mostly in the mining and oil and gas industries. How this country thinks it can shift workers into these jobs remains to be seen. Immigration can only supply so many workers, and not all new immigrants will qualify to meet the needs of these industries. Today there are some countries who are seriously looking at their education system, from Grade 1 to postsecondary in order to find ways to help their citizens deal with substantial labour market shifts. These countries are examining education as a means to provide people with general skills sets that are a benefit to all

T
he Employment Insurance program is designed to provide temporary income support to replace lost employment income while claimants are looking for work. It is not meant to be an income supplement if people choose not to work nor a business model. Our government is overhauling how Canadians collect employment insurance by encourColin Mayes aging frequent users to stop depending on the program as a yearly source of income and requiring those who rarely use it to look more broadly for jobs when they do collect EI. Employment insurance will very much be there for people who cannot find a job within their qualifications and within their region. There are, however, as we know, growing labour shortages in this country and we want to take every effort we can to ensure people can find jobs. According to Statistics Canada’s job vacancy

survey, in the fall of last year, there were approximately 250,000 unfilled jobs across Canada. Your government is creating three different types of EI recipients including frequent users, occasional claimants and long-tenured workers. Frequent claimants – those who used EI at least three times for a total of 60 weeks in five years – will be given six weeks to look for work in their field. After this window closes, applicants will be expected to find another job they are qualified for that pays at least 70 per cent of their previous salary. The opposition contended the government’s new rules targets people who commonly use EI like seasonal and contract workers. Our objective is to match people with jobs. We want to make sure we have a system in place that will allow people to get work they’re qualified for in their area. The new rules will mean less generous handouts for those frequent abusers while giving hard-working Canadians, who rarely use the program, more leeway to look for jobs in their field. Canadians on EI will receive more information about available jobs in their area. Colin Mayes is MP for the Okanagan-Shuswap.
and reliable transportation service continues for West Kootenay families, businesses and visitors. The new vessel will be drive-on, drive-off, opendecked, and capable of transporting 80 cars and 250 passengers. It will have a larger vehicle and weight capacity, and faster loading and unloading times, which eliminates the need for an auxiliary ferry during the peak travel season. “It is great news that the new ferry will be constructed in the Village of Nakusp,” said Karen Hamling, Mayor of Nakusp. “A project of this size will have a positive effect on our local economy. This will provide our businesses and residents the opportunity to showcase our spectacular scenery and unlimited recreational activities.” The government of British Columbia has awarded a $26.5-million contract to WaterBridge Steel Inc. of Prince George to construct a new ferry for the 30-minute crossing between Shelter Bay and Galena Bay. It will be built in Nakusp, and provide employment opportunities for approximately 65 people for up to two years. Inland ferries are used on routes where lake or river crossings are a less-costly alternative to building roads or bridges. For example, the Upper Arrow Lake route between Galena Bay and Shelter Bay reduces a car trip from Nelson to Revelstoke from eight hours to four hours. In 2011, the existing ferries on Upper Arrow Lake carried 218,658 automobile equivalents and 294,694 passengers.

Free fishing for everyone this weekend Morning Star Staff
Aspiring and experienced anglers alike can cast their lines for free this Father’s Day week-
end, as part of the 13th annual Free Family Fishing weekend. This year’s celebration runs today through
to Sunday, and allows Canadian families to fish for free in most freshwater lakes and non-tidal streams anywhere in B.C.
on all three days. “Fishing is a great way to get out and enjoy B.C.’s natural beauty with the whole family,” said Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource. “If you’ve never tried fishing before but have always wanted to, then here’s your chance.” Families planning to fish are advised that fishing for species requiring a conservation surcharge stamp or on classified waters will still need to purchase these supplementary licences. For information on these few exceptions, please consult page 61 of the 2011-13 Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis, available online at: www.env.gov.bc.ca/ fw/fish/regulations/ “This is a wonderful opportunity to introduce your children to the joy of fishing, but if you miss this weekend’s events you can take part in BC Parks’ free Learn to Fish program offered this summer,” said Terry Lake, Minister of Environment. ■ An estimated 25,000 people take advantage of the Free Family Fishing Weekend. ■ Freshwater anglers spend $480 million every year on equipment, travel, accommodation and hospitality services, supporting 7,500 direct jobs.

Every season, Kennedy Knopf takes a bit of time out of her crazy, busy schedule to plunk herself in front of the TV and watch her favourite show. There, she scours every step and line, as muscled legs leap and sinewy arms flow across the dance floor, and judges scream at the top of their lungs about the agony and ecstasy of it all. No itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not Dance Moms, but that other reality TV hit, So You Think You Can Dance. Knopf sees herself on that stage. At 15, she is still too young to audition for the Canadian version of the reality TV dance competition, but she is definitely on her way to getting there. Knopf already knows about the sweat and tears involved in dance competitions. She has been entered in regional dance festivals for the past five years, and this past month, she topped the category she was entered in at the Provincial Festival of Performing Arts B.C., better known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;provincials,â&#x20AC;? which this year was held in Nanaimo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All my students love competition and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential for them to do well, and a lot of them do, but Kennedy is exceptional for adding details and making the dance her own,â&#x20AC;? said one of Knopf â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dance instructors Becky Martselos, who has watched her student grow and evolve at her Accentz Dance Studio in the past seven years. Although there is currently no national dance competition for youth in Canada, Knopf continues to make her mark regionally, and now in the province. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every competition Kennedy has gone to she has won scholarships to dance camps, conventions, schools,â&#x20AC;? said Martselos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone can do this if they have the right drive, and Kennedy does.â&#x20AC;? Knopf was chosen to compete at the provincials after being selected for her jazz solo,

Being naturally bubbly, confident and outgoing should come in handy as Knopf pursues her ultimate dream. This summer is taken up going to Vancouver, using her scholarship money to take workshops, attend camps, and pursue auditions. Knopf also plans to continue on at Accentz, where she is also an assistant instructor, and after graduating hopes to dance on a cruise ship and pursue a business degree. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the kids I teach. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had them for four years and they are like little sisters...

Deluxe Holiday Buffet
Drink in artist’s Emblems Canadians can toast to Cherryville artist, whose painting is on special Scottish beer
Sunday - June 17 Vernon Lodge 3914 32nd Street, Vernon
Reservations call
Morning Star Staff
It’s something to be able to drink in art, but for one Cherryville artist, those 19 and over will literally be able to enjoy a tasty beverage while admiring one of his paintings. Entitled Emblems, the painting by Gary Whitley is currently featured on the carton that contains Innis & Gunn’s limited edition Canada Day 2012 Scottish beer. Now on shelves in fine beer, wine and spirits retailers across the country, the special beer is released every May to celebrate Canada’s birthday and to recognize the country’s special contribution to the Innis & Gunn story. This is the second release from Innis & Gunn to feature original Canadian artwork. “When I received word that Innis & Gunn was searching for artwork for its Canada Day beer packaging, it was instantly clear that I had to submit Emblems – a painting of sugar maple saplings I created years ago and had kept at home,” said Whitley. “As a born and raised Canadian, I couldn’t think of a more iconic symbol of this fine country.” Whitley’s design was chosen from a group of more than 60 members from the Society of Canadian Artists (SCA) by a judging panel that included 2011-featured artist, Deborah Colvin. In December, members of the non-profit artists’ organization dedicated to expanding the visibility and stature of visual arts in Canada were asked to submit original artwork that best reflected the country’s rich tapestry. “We were very delighted to once again receive so many beautiful piec-

ber of the extremely talented Canadian art community,” added Innis & Gunn owner and brewer Dougal Sharp. “We feel Gary Whitley’s work perfectly reflects the pride and spirit of Canadians and we are excited to share this specially crafted, oak-aged brew with our largest export market.” Whitley, who is also a long-standing mem-
ber and former North Okanagan chapter president of the Canadian Federation of Artists, will next show his work with fellow local artists at the PV - Art and Garden Trail at 1701 46th Ave., on July 21. His work can also be currently seen as part of the group summer exhibition at Nadine’s Fine Art and Frames in downtown Vernon.

Cute and cuddly, at least for some Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted
A
fter spending the last few years in the wilderness: Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman (voiced by Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Jada Pinkett Smith and David Schwimmer respectively) have decided it’s time to go home to the Big Apple. They would already be on their way, if it wasn’t for those pesky penguins making off with their only mode of transport. After tracking the penguins down to Monte Carlo and getting chased by Captain Chantel DuBois (Frances McDormand) of Animal Control, they end up with a traveling circus, making their way through Europe. Will they make it home? Will Alex end up on DuBois’s wall of fame? Will they run away with the circus? We say, “Kids will

Julien very amusing. TAYLOR: Cohen’s the type of guy who runs with things, but there’s lots of talent involved, many guest voices: two Oscar nominees, two Oscar winners... and Andy Richter. However, for me the real star of this film was the 3D; best use of 3D this year. Despite the action petering out at the three quarter mark, there was still a lot of it, chases especially. The animation also was interesting, although somewhat cheap looking, at times backgrounds reminded me of Google Earth, it was well directed. They animated it to look like an action film. HOWE: When I showed my little boy the trailer to Madagascar 3 at the beginning of the year, he couldn’t
wait to see it. So when I told him on Sunday we were going to see it that afternoon, he was very excited. And by the sounds of his laughter, he really enjoyed it. He kept slapping my arm and saying, “Daddy, did you see dat?” TAYLOR: I think you hit the nail on the head. Robot voice: <Acceptable to target audience.> HOWE: In the end, it’s a kid’s movie. Will they enjoy it? Yes. Will parents enjoy it? Maybe. Or you could just have a nap. –– Taylor gives Madagascar 3 2.5 Ds out of 5. –– Howe gives it 2.5 polka dot zebras out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Album is unsolved B.D. Gottfried: Damien’s Lantern
K
itchener-based alternative band B.D. Gottfried’s sixth album, Damien’s Lantern, is a dark, unfamiliar concept album without a theme or concept; at least so it sounds. The fourpiece group (Aaron Gottfried, Dean Gordon-Smith vocals, George Chaggaras, guitar, Bill Gottfried, keys, drums and Jack Smith, bass) have a sparse, leftof-centre sound path that has hints of ‘80s progressive pop rock and British new wave. It’s a subdued style with a strong ensemble feel (Save Me) that isn’t readily identifiable but is utterly unique and committed to itself. There’s no clichés or trendwhoring going on.
STREET SOUNDS
One song suggests or demands a disjointed ‘80s MuchMusic video (Gowan perhaps?) The song’s churning underbeat is topped with rickety guitars and keyboards that produce a weird groove –– not funky, but different. Vocalist Aaron Gottfried sounds like he may have absorbed some of The Damned or The Stranglers presence by osmosis, but it’s real and it works. The feeling of “other” summons up the vibe from this band and album. A healthy disregard for commerciality inhabits but doesn’t inhibit their songs – some subdued rebelliousness brings out the vibe (Hard Sell) in the songwriting. BDG’s album has a mysterious agenda. It seems to be thematic and possesses a song cycle but hasn’t a unified thread lyrically. Aaron Gottfried’s voice has an ill-at-ease disquiet in his delivery that becomes appealing. Overall, Damien’s Lantern has a curious effect – that of music looking for answers.
Runaway Moon runs arts camp Kids can be cool and creative this summer when Runaway Moon Theatre brings In the Shade, an arts day camp, to Enderby July 3 to 7. “In the Shade is suitable for anyone who likes making things, creating stories, playing music, or performing,” said Runaway Moon
artistic director Cathy Stubington. “Come and help us creatively explore the world we are a part of through story, drama, music, dance and making things.” During the week camp participants will make simple masks and costumes, learn the movement and songs of

birds, listen to and tell stories, make banners, and together create a performance based on the true and imagined lives of our feathered friends. Camp leaders include dancer Kristi Christian, who has been dancing most of her life, and has been teaching for the past 13 years, most recently at the Armstrong Dance Academy; plant lover Teresa Christian, whose First Nations name is Nawstila, and has worked at Secwepmec Museum in health and in many other settings; writer and actress Julie Ross, who has performed extensively in both Australia and Canada; and puppet maker Stubington. All four have been part of many of Runaway Moon’s large-scale community performances. The camp will take place in the community room at the new M.V. Beattie school, and is planned primarily for ages eight to 15. Hours are 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and a snack will be provided. Cost of the camp is on sliding scale, and family rates and subsidies are available. “Runaway Moon wants to make sure everyone who wants to can come,” said Stubington. For more information or to register, contact zev@ runawaymoon.org or by phone, 250-838-2568.

Mom suffers from anxiety
D
ear Annie: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 16 years old and deeply worried about my mother. I believe she has an undiagnosed anxiety disorder thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting worse. She constantly stresses about every little thing. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember the last time I saw her totally relaxed. Mom once had a panic attack so severe that she strained several muscles, causing intense pain for weeks.
She knows that her anxiety is unhealthy. Several years ago, she mentioned it to her doctor, but was told that she did not require any treatment. Mom is stubborn, so despite the fact that she is getting worse, she will not ask for help again. Annie, is there anything I can do? I hate seeing my mom in pain. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Michigan Dear Michigan: Is your dad in the picture?

Dear Missouri: The point of a shower is to help a bride furnish her new home, and with so many couples living together before marriage, the events have become more inventive, but less necessary. As the bride, it is OK to ask your bridesmaids whether there will be a lingerie shower, so you can plan accordingly, but you may not demand that they have one.

The Canadian Society of Questers, Vernon branch, brings Echan Deravy to Vernon for what they promise will be a multidimensional feast for the spirit. Echan Deravy (aka John Craig) will be at Okanagan College in Vernon on Thursday doing a presentation on the energetic shift of 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is one of the most fascinating, passionate, dynamic and powerful speakers on the planet today,â&#x20AC;? said Jacquelyn-Rose, with the Questers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His integrity, compassion and courage imbue his words, inspiring long forgotten memories of who we are.â&#x20AC;? Deravy has been living, teaching, and speaking on the subject throughout Japan for 19 years and now lives in Nelson, where he is doing much to foster its friendship with the city of Onagawa that was devastated by the 2011 tsunami in Japan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Echan has published 35 books on the phenomenon surrounding this most auspicious year in human evolution. Scottish born and Japanese wed, he has travelled around the world leading pilgrimages to sacred energetic sites, teaching and demonstrating to people that we are intrinsically more powerful
Vacations made you feel guilty about leaving Mom alone Mom looks forward to your daily conversations and feels more secure knowing that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just a phone call away. So, when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on vacation, she feels uneasy and so do you.
than we have been led to believe; 2012 will be a year of great power and transition. Knowledge of what to expect will be helpful. We at the Vernon Questersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Society are deeply honoured to have the opportunity to host this humble servant of humanity.â&#x20AC;? Jacquelyn-Rose said Deravy has been a tireless campaigner for the 2012 agenda as a researcher, writer, film maker and lecturer in Japan for the last 20 years. In this talk he will share the fruits of two decades of intrepid field work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has been fortunate to experience contact with the dimension that 2012 lore suggests we may be moving quickly towards. But is it real? That is the question his talk will focus on. Expect to be amazed by his findings. Do not expect the usual guff about ascension and a new age. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of all expect to be highly entertained and enlightened by a master story teller who has walked every inch of his talk. So please leave all preconceptions at home, wear comfortable clothing and get ready to have a blast.â&#x20AC;? The presentation takes place Thursday at 7 p.m., Okanagan College; tickets are $10, available at the door. Inspire Others Through Your Music & Charm!

Fresh asparagus is just one of the treats to be found at Caravan Farm Theatre’s monthly farmers’ market. Sunday’s special Father’s Day market will feature plenty of fun events for Dad and the whole family. The market runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Bring Dad to the farm on Sunday Morning Star Staff
If you’re still trying to figure out what to get Dad for Father’s Day, Caravan Farm Theatre has the solution. On Sunday, the farm hosts a special Father’s Day farmers’ market with plenty of events for family members of all ages, and featuring fresh local produce, plants, artist-made goods, live music, wagon rides, a petting zoo and more. There will be ready-to-eat foods that can be enjoyed at a picnic table, or bring a blanket and enjoy your lunch in the shade of a big tree.
“As an extra treat for Dad, we’ll have a giant cauldron set up in the field for a pitching competition,” said Lisa Mori, communications director for Caravan. “Anyone who can pitch their golf ball into the cauldron receives a free bag of world famous Caravan popcorn. “We’ll provide golf balls and wedges, but Dad can bring his favourite club, if he likes.” And this Sunday only, as part of the monthly market, Carvan will hold a costume and retro clothing sale. “Caravan’s designery has recently
undergone renovations, and we are now offering for sale a vast array of clothing and costumes for $1 to $3,” said Mori. “It’s an excellent opportunity to take home some unique vintage items as well as a little piece of Caravan history.” Caravan Farm Theatre is a not-forprofit professional outdoor theatre company located on an 80-acre farm outside of Armstrong. Caravan’s market day and costume sale takes place this Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, please visit www.caravanfarmtheatre.com
Day helps share awareness about elder abuse Morning Star Staff
This is the time of year when so many are thinking about school ending, summer vacations, sunshine, swimming, fun, laughter, family get-togethers, barbecues, camping and being able to enjoy so many outdoor fun activities. However, there are also a number of people living in fear or embarrassment because they are living in abusive situations. It may not be you but it could be someone you know or love. It could be your child, parent, neighbour, co-worker, friend or sibling. No one is exempt. Today is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day and the North Okanagan Community Response
Network is here to help raise awareness that our ageing population is at risk of abuse, neglect or self-neglect. The five forms of abuse are categorized as emotional, financial, mental, physical and sexual. The two most common forms of abuse on older adults are financial and emotional. Throughout the world, abuse and neglect of older persons is
largely under-recognized or treated as an unspoken problem. Unfortunately, no community or country in the world is immune. Research indicates that public education campaigns like World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) are vital for informing people in a growing number of countries about elder abuse, and active involvement is key to helping stop the risk.
If you suspect that someone you know is being abused, please do not hesitate to reach out to designated organizations in our community. Your call is confidential and you can remain anonymous. If someone is in immediate danger,
please call 911. For more information on where to get help, or to become part of the NOCRN, please call Kelly Denis, coordinator of the North Okanagan Community response Network, at 250-2751292.

n February this column asked the question: “Are B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets history?” The answer is contained in a new draft plan from BC Hydro on how to meet future power demand. And while it’s not explicitly stated, the answer is yes. The draft plan was released in May for discussion purposes, but so far there hasn’t been much discussion. This is surpris-
ing given some of the recommendations, such as firing up the Burrard Thermal natural gas power plant more often and buying fossil fuel power from the North American market to keep up to demand. The plan confirms a few things that have been evident for a while. Dreams of exporting B.C. hydro-
electric power are gone for the foreseeable future. And with mining ramping up along with natural gas development and population growth, BC Hydro now Tom Fletcher projects electricity demand could rise by 50 per cent over the next 20 years. The emergence of huge shale gas sources

in B.C. and across the United States has changed the North American energy picture dramatically, as U.S. electricity producers replace coal by burning cheaper and cleaner gas to ramp up power production. B.C. is losing gas market share in the U.S., its only export customer for heating fuel and electricity use. Former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate goals officially remain in place: 33 per cent greenhouse gas reduction by 2020 and a whopping 80 per cent by 2050. If the gas boom proceeds as planned, B.C. domestic emissions will not be down, but up considerably by 2020. Premier Christy Clark has a new target for 2020: three liquefied natural gas production lines feeding high-pressure tankers at Kitimat, for export to Asia. Not only will B.C. need to buy gas-fired power from outside the province to keep up to industrial and residential demand, but the natural gas industry will need its own new gas-fired electricity to produce LNG for export. Natural gas passed forestry as B.C.’s top resource revenue source many years ago. In 2005, the volatile gas price spiked up and produced $1 billion in windfall profits that allowed the B.C. government to buy a rare period of public sector labour peace through the 2010 Olympics. Now a glut of shale gas has pushed the North American price down from its historic
range of $4 to $6 per thousand cubic feet to about $2.40. Despite that low price, gas producers in B.C. are going flat out to develop the Horn River and Montney shale gas deposits in northeast B.C. I asked David Pryce, vice-president of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, why so much gas is being developed now. He said producers have made huge investments in B.C. shale gas drilling rights, and are in an international race to supply LNG to Asian countries where the price is currently four times higher than in North America. Whatever the domestic price, B.C. gas producers have to show LNG investors such as Mitsubishi and Korea Gas that they can fill a steady procession of LNG tankers at a competitive rate. If LNG doesn’t fly here, B.C.’s gas export market soon evaporates. Currently gas producers pay about $400 million a year in royalties, and that much again to buy up shale gas drilling rights. The industry already employs about 12,000 workers in B.C. The B.C. government has little choice but to redefine its climate targets. Instead of cutting domestic emissions, it will try to take credit for displacing coal power in Asia. Fortunately, B.C.’s main coal exports are for high-grade coal used in steel-making.

Wine law uncorked TOM FLETCHER Black Press
The federal government is finally moving to modernize its alcohol transportation rules, amending a 1928 law that prevents people from buying wine across provincial borders. The House of Commons has unanimously supported a private members’ bill from OkanaganCoquihalla MP Dan Albas that provides for a personal exemption from a law created during the Prohibition era to stop smuggling and tax evasion. The wine industry and B.C. politicians have argued that individuals should be able to buy or order a case of wine they enjoyed while on vacation. The bill still has to pass the Senate.

The B.C. government has reached a tentative agreement for a four-year contract with the province’s 10,000 family doctors and specialists. The government released few details of the agreement, which must be ratified by members of the B.C. Medical Association in a vote to be completed by the end of July. The BCMA board is recommending acceptance. Health Minister Mike de Jong said the tentative deal represents a 1.5 per cent increase in the province’s overall budget for doctor fees over the first two years. That translates to an additional $45 million in each year. The proposed agreement doesn’t specify an increase for years three and four, but rather commits the government and the BCMA to negotiate that amount later. The health ministry promises that the new deal will improve patient access to family doctors, including in

rural areas, and improve recruitment and retention of specialists. De Jong said an additional $20 million is available for specialists, but it is up to the BCMA’s various committees to work out how it is shared. “There will now be a discussion within the specialist groups about how that will be allocated,” de Jong said. The government is still negotiating with other health care employee groups and much of the rest of the provincial public service, under a mandate the government called “cooperative gains.” The ministry and the BCMA have agreed to a review of laboratory services that de Jong said may save $10 million to go to other priority areas. The 10 unions representing 15,000 community social services workers announced Friday that they will be joining other provincial employees in taking a strike vote after four months of talks. Union leaders say their members are the lowest-paid in the provincial public service, and there are no savings to be found to finance a raise.

SAVE TIME. SAVE MONEY.
Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder ON PAPER, FORTUNE FAVORS THE FINESSER Helen Rowland, a journalist and humorist who died in 1950, said, “Before marriage, a man declares that he would lay down his life to serve you; after marriage, he won’t even lay down his newspaper to talk to you.” Surely not! Now let’s move to a bridge contract that requires a finesse for success. In real life, it might or might not succeed. In a newspaper column, it is certain to work. A columnist won’t show a hopeless contract unless there is some defensive point. As an example, in this deal South is in four hearts. West leads the club queen. The defenders take two tricks in the suit, then shift to diamonds, taken by
declarer’s ace. How should South continue? There seem to be four unavoidable minor-suit losers. The only chance for a 10th trick is to establish dummy’s fifth spade. But that requires four dummy entries: three for ruffing spades in hand and one to get back to the dummy to cash the last spade. What must those entries be? The spade ace and all three trumps -- so care is needed. Declarer plays a spade to dummy’s ace and ruffs a spade with a middle trump. Then he bravely leads a middle trump to dummy’s nine. West is more likely to have 10-doubleton than East will have 10-singleton. When that finesse wins, as we knew it would, South
ruffs a spade high, plays his last middle heart to dummy’s jack, and ruffs another spade high. Then he leads the carefully conserved heart two to dummy’s three and triumphantly cashes the last spade. Finally, the defenders will discuss how they could have found the killing trump shift at trick three.

New B.C. liquor regulations include a $575 fine for adults who buy alcohol for under-aged drinkers, or serve them in restaurants and pubs. The fines apply to serving staff who fail to check identification, in addition to penalties already in place for licensed establishments that serve under-aged drinkers. Those penalties range from fines of $7,500 to $10,000 or a licence sus-
pension of 10 to 15 days. Parents and guardians who provide booze to their under-19 children are exempt from the tickets. “These changes give police and liquor inspectors another tool to make it harder for minors to get alcohol,” said Rich Coleman, minister responsible for liquor and gambling policy. The new tickets are part of an effort by the B.C. government to streamline the court system, after imposing new administra-

Beer carts don’t need ICBC The B.C. government has changed regulations that required golf course beverage carts to be covered by an ICBC insurance policy. “Carrying double coverage for liability wasn’t enhancing safety for golf course members and guests,” said Douglas Ferne of the National Golf Course Owners Association. “In fact, it was just creating more work and cost for golf courses, with no
real benefits.” The change also relieves miniature cars such as those used in parades, as well as industrial utility vehicles that are only driven briefly to cross roads or get to a worksite. The new regulations require owners to have private third-party liability insurance. In 2011 the B.C. government created similar exemptions for golf carts and mobile equipment such as personal lifts and powered wheelbarrows.
Liberals block vehicle loophole TOM FLETCHER Black Press
The B.C. government is plugging a loophole that has prompted hundreds of people to claim they are giving away vehicles to friends or “acquaintances” rather than pay sales tax on the transaction. When it adopted the harmonized sales tax in 2010, the B.C. government increased its separate tax on private sales of cars, boats and other vehicles from seven per cent to 12. The federal goods and services tax doesn’t apply to private sales, and the B.C. government said it wanted to level the playing field between private sales and used cars purchased from dealers. The jump in the tax rate appears to have made a chronic tax evasion problem worse, as sales of even high-end cars have become popular to give away, at least on paper. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said the new provincial sales tax legislation specifies Kevin Falcon that vehicle gifts can only be given to a genuine relative or a registered charity. “Clearly we’ve had a situation in B.C. where there has been an enormous effort underway for the public to avoid paying tax owing when they sell vehicles,” Falcon said. “Either you accept that explanation or you just believe that people have become extraordinarily generous in British Columbia in giving away their high-end vehicles, including Mercedes, Porsches and BMWs, to individuals who they are not acquainted with but they are describing as friends or best friends or acquaintances.” Falcon estimated the tax dodge has been costing the B.C. treasury “tens of millions” each year. An effort to tighten up the gift process last year by replacing a letter declaring the vehicle is a gift with a detailed form for buyers and sellers didn’t relieve the problem, he said. The B.C. sales tax on privately sold vehicles is called the “Tax on Designated Property,” and it applies to aircraft and boats as well as cars and trucks.
