CHAOS CONTINUES

Dawna Parker Jodoin of Coolio’s Ice Cream gives Cloé Rowe, one, and her sister Juliette, four, a cool treat Friday at Creative Chaos. Merylin Roze purchases a wooden cribbage board from the Michaud Toys booth at the Vernon Recreation Complex. Chaos continues today from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The victim of a fatal motor vehicle accident between Coldstream and Lake Country has been identified. Brian Dolman, 64, of Oyama, was the driver and sole occupant of an SUV which was travelling southbound on Highway 97 around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday when it was involved in a headon collision with a northbound pickup truck near Westridge Road, Dolman died at the scene. The two men in the truck were both from Vernon. The driver, 26, and passenger, 24, were taken to hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries. The B.C. Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate the incident.

Politicians endorse rail trail plans Local politicians are supportive of efforts to preserve a rail corridor for public use. Attempts to maintain freight service between Coldstream and Kelowna have failed and now the federal government has a 30-day window to determine if it will purColin Mayes chase the route from Canadian National. “It would be unwise for the federal gov-

ernment to do this on its own because it would set a precedent but we have had discussions with municipalities about options for partnering,” said Colin Mayes, Okanagan-Shuswap MP. “The consensus among the provincial government, the MPs from the Okanagan and municipalities is there is a desire to see the corridor preserved.” Mayes is not sure if a proposal to purchase the track can occur before the 30-day deadline ends for Ottawa. “There is work being done to get that extended so we can get everyone together and consider alternatives,” he said. If the federal government does not

acquire the corridor after 30 days, the provincial government then has a similar time period to show interest, which could then be followed by a 30-day period for local governments. “We’ve had some preliminary discussions at all levels — First Nations, federal, provincial and municipal,” said Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA. “Everyone is in favour of coming up with a plan.” However, Foster admits the final deciding factor may be cost. “It will depend on what kind of deal the group can work out with CN,” he said.

the land, CN could sell the property off to private interests, such as developers. The Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative believes a public corridor could attract 600,000 users and generate $6.7 million in spending by tourists by the fifth year. “We really couldn’t ask for a better corridor for a community pathway. It would be a beautiful, safe way for commuters, tourists and residents to enjoy some of the valley’s most spectacular scenery,” said Brad Clements, OTR director. “We can make this happen but we need public support sent through the website at www.okanaganrailtrail.ca to let governments know this is important to us.”

Search master celebrates 50 years richard rolke

Morning Star Staff

ven while being interviewed, Pete Wise knows he may receive a sudden call that scuttles all plans and sends him looking for someone in distress. “My gear is always ready to go,” he said. And it’s been that way for 50 years for the Coldstream resident who was honoured Saturday by Emergency Management B.C. for his five decades in Search and Rescue. “Somebody has to do it. I just want to help my fellow man, it’s pretty cool.” It was 1964 when a then 16-year-old Wise joined Maple Ridge’s Port Hammond Alouettes, a Scout unit and part of B.C. civil defence. His mentor was leader Bud DeWolf. “If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be where I am today,” said the now 66-year-old Wise. “We trained and trained – rope climbing and swimming. There was the camaraderie and skills we learned.” His first major rescue came when a man clung to a cliff face 700 feet in the air. “It was said we lowered ropes but we went and got him. We were out on the tree limb with him,” said Wise. “The very first one you ever go on is significant. It’s such an adrenalin rush, there’s so much satisfaction.” That passion continued when he moved to the North Okanagan in the early 1970s and he was soon receiving calls for help from Frank Whitecotton, an early driving force in Vernon Search and Rescue. “He moulded young men,” said Wise of Whitecotton. Since then, Wise has filled vir-

tually every position there is with Vernon SAR, which is a volunteer organization. He is trained in or a leader in rope rescue, flat ice rescue, swift water rescue, tracking, search management and ground searches. He’s also an instructor for the Justice Institute and the B.C. Institute of Technology. Wise has lost track of how many thousands of incidents he has responded to, whether it is a senior who has walked away from home, a snowmobiler lost in the woods or a boater who has drowned.

Arm – Canada’s largest evacuation ever at that time. The scene was repeated in 2003 during the fire storms in Barriere and Kelowna. But perhaps the most meaningful case came in 2006 when an 11-year-old Armstrong girl went missing. Search and Rescue members, as well as other emergency personnel, spent days combing the community for her. Eventually she was found and an individual was arrested for kidnapping. As Wise and most of the SAR volunteers are also parents, finding the girl took on a new meaning. “There were a lot of grown men crying,” said Wise. But it’s because of those experiences that Wise remains motivated.

J u st i n. J u st i n t i m e f o r t h e s u n.

“Bringing home a lost hunter or being involved in a (body) recovery so there’s some closure for a family is important,” he said. He admits, though, that volunteering has been disruptive on the home front for his wife Kate and two now-grown children. “You just sit down to dinner and there’s a 911 call or a call comes in when you’re tucked into bed,” he said. “Sometimes you’re gone just a short time or it’s two or three days. All of this wouldn’t happen without the support of my family.” And Wise has developed another family, his colleagues at Vernon SAR. “I love them. We fight and squabble like siblings but there’s deep affection and respect. I wouldn’t do anything without them,” he said. Saturday’s celebration marked a 50-year career, but Wise has no plans to retire any time soon. “I’ll go as long as my health is here and as long as they’ll have me,” he said. “It’s been a hell of a run for me.”

it in at a high cost,” said Garlick. Treated waste water was considered by the committee overseeing construction, but it was shelved because domestic drinking water will be present. “We will need potable water for the longjump, steeplechase and other events that require water,” said Keith Pinkoski, Greater Vernon Advisory Committee parks planner. Director Bob Spiers doesn’t believe using treated waste water would reduce the facility’s overall operating

expenses. “The operating cost will be $40,000 a year (plus $11,000 for artificial turf maintenance) and water will be about $500 to $1,000,” he said. The civil tender for construction of the sports complex closed Thursday, and it’s expected that work will take until the end of September. Track surfacing will occur in July and August and support buildings will take shape between June and December. “It’s going to be a very busy site when everything is moving around,” said Pinkoski.

Juliette Cunningham, GVAC chairperson, encourages elected officials to raise issues regarding the master water plan, but to do it through the upcoming public awareness campaign. “You can ask questions but then the answers will be posted on the website for the public to access,” she said. In November, Greater Vernon residents will be asked to borrow up to $70 million for the plan, which includes $26.5 million for filtration at the Duteau Creek treatment facility. “There will be a big campaign from September to November,” said Zee Marcolin, Greater Vernon Water manager. “We are working on a campaign accessible to the public.” Marcolin hopes to cover all concerns regarding the water plan. “We have 200 questions that we have come up with and we’re working on them.

The dragon will awaken again to celebrate the history of Vernon’s Chinese community. A Chinese dragon will dance at a ceremony Tuesday at 4 p.m. at the Gateway Shelter to unveil two panels that detail Vernon’s historic Chinatown. “The two panels tell the stories of early Chinese immigrants and historic Chinatown’s changing streetscape,” said Annette Sharkey, with the Social Planning Council. The plaques have been installed on the Gateway Shelter, formerly the home of the Chinese Freemasons Society and one of the last remaining buildings in Vernon’s historic Chinatown. “At one time, Vernon was the largest Chinese community between Vancouver and Calgary,” said Herb Wong, a spokesman for the Chinese Freemasons and whose grandfather was a merchant in the early 1900s. “These panels are a way of telling the story of this community, and also of honoring the thousands who were a part of it during its existence. We are pleased to have been involved with this project.” Vernon’s historic Chinatown once encompassed several blocks within the original Centreville town site laid out in 1885. At its height in the late 1940s and 1950s, it was home to as many as 1,000 people. Over the years, buildings included laundries, dry goods stores, stables, restaurants, boarding houses, family homes and social clubs.

If there is ever the time for various levels of government to come together, now is it.

We now have 90 days. By the fall, this process will be decided,” said Julie Melanson, with the Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative, which is pushing for a recreational trail along the rail bed. Local politicians, including MP Colin Mayes and MLA Eric Foster, are indicating support personally for acquiring the land from Canadian National Rail. However, more needs to be done. Okanagan Valley MLA and MPs, including Premier Christy Clark, need to establish a formal lobby group that petitions their respective governments to not sit on the sidelines, but to put funds towards a corridor that would have significant social and economic benefits. If the two senior levels of government come on board, then municipalities, regional districts and residents with individual donations will quickly fall into place. First Nations must also be at the table as some of the rail line goes through reserve land, as well as their traditional territory. Yes, acquiring the land won’t be cheap, but consider that within five years, the trail could attract 600,000 users and generate $6.7 million in spending by tourists. That would become a significant boost to the economy and truly make the valley an international destination. Put pressure on your elected officials to directly get involved by going to www.okanaganrailtrail.ca.

Road changes welcomed

The enhancement of the 25th Street pedestrian/ cycling corridor is long overdue and most of my fellow residents welcome the proposed changes. I say enhancement because anyone who knows our neighbourhood will have seen the numerous children, seniors, parents with strollers and workers utilizing this street as an already existing pedestrian/cycling corridor. It's also well known in our neighbourhood that each year more and more drivers use it as an alternative to 27th Street. Any morning you can see cars and trucks ripping past children walking to school down 25th. Many vehicles just slow down at stop signs before ripping down the next two or three blocks. Some mornings, it's like a race-track. More clearly needs to be done than just adding sidewalks. What troubles me most, as a resident of lower East Hill, is that councillors like Juliette Cunningham do not fully appreciate the unique nature of the 25th Street pedestrian/cycling corridor. It is arguably one of the most busy pedestrian/cycling corridors in our city. Students from five different schools use the corridor every day and we endanger their lives by allowing it to be used as alternative to 27th Street. Even folks like me who live on the avenues near 25th Street can tell you that traffic regularly cuts through our avenues as they reconnect with Pleasant Valley Road or 27th Street. This kind of traffic is increasing and is not just a threat to children, but also to seniors out enjoying a walk. I am also concerned with the response from Coun.

student speaks out Back and forth, back and forth, aimlessly they walk the roadside path, retracing their steps. They chat and joke to lighten the mood, but no one feels lightly about the day's activities. Around and around they go, careful never to step on their workplace property. The teachers orbit the school like planets the sun. Never edging too far away, and never stepping too close for fear they might get burned. Teachers cannot even park their cars on school property. They are not allowed to walk across the parking lot or sit in the field for a break. The system is faulty. The union, whose job it is to represent the teachers, is more concerned with the numbers on paper than students trying to go to school. The government, the employer, seems to be focused on only saving money, not on the needs of education. The teachers are chess pieces in a power game against the government. Sacrifice a pawn to save your queen. Sacrifice your teachers' wages and respect to prick the gov-

Brian Quiring since it highlights a perennial problem with Vernon's political culture. Whenever good and right changes are proposed, a vocal minority is allowed to block change by making a big stink. Rather than taking the real pulse of the community, councillors wimp-out by suggesting that we put things on the back burner or just oppose the changes outright by saying, "Too many people are upset." It's time for councillors to stand up and show real leadership, especially when it comes to the safety of children, cyclists and seniors.

ernment with a pin of resistance. It is all the same. This labour dispute flared to life back in 2002 when Christy Clark enacted bills 27 and 28, which eliminated protection on class size and composition, reduced support for kids with special needs and stripped teachers of their bargaining rights. Since then, teachers have been attempting to return those previously agreed upon education regulations. If the strike was merely about wages, an agreement would have been reached by now. A strike right now helps only the government. They can now withhold pay for long enough that when negotiations break through, they will have enough money to finally pay the teachers a reasonable amount from what they withheld during the strike. Striking does not help my teachers, it hurts them. I can see it in their eyes, as they circle the school. They do not want to be locked out. They want to do their jobs. They want to teach their students about how to write with conviction, speak a different

language, and why math is important? I'm still not sure but maybe if my teachers were allowed back in school, I could learn. I do not want to see my teachers, people I respect and who care for me, bullied and pushed away from their workplace by inflated egos in power. I want to continue to learn from them. Let them teach their students. Perhaps the negotiators should be locked in a room until an agreement can be reached which places the needs of students above the needs of figurehead's pockets. stephanie erickson blue boxes opposed Re: letter to editor "Please trash new recycling plan" by Jean Collier: Our household and most neighbors agree with Jean's comments regarding the difficulties in recycling with the new MMBC system. Due to age and mobility issues our neighborhood will be going from avid recyclers to little to no recycling, and I suspect the only items that will be left out

I expect councillors to champion issues of safety for Vernon's children and seniors. I welcome every councillor to visit 25th Street any school morning and watch numerous children competing with vehicles racing through the neighbourhood. It's truly bizarre that this problem was not dealt a decade ago. While there are some in my neighbourhood who oppose this initiative, their main concern is the minor inconvenience of not being able to drive straight through on 25th Street. Some have suggested we just need speed bumps, but these impede snow removal, do not slow big trucks and are dangerous for cyclists. The only solution is to impede through traffic. It is a cheap and effective solution. The leadership of Vernon will need to choose between the safety of children, cyclists and seniors versus a selfish vocal minority. As this is an election year, if this proposal is not given 100 per cent support by council, I and many of those who live near 25th Street will be vocally calling for the removal of leaders who lack the wisdom, compassion, and grit to enhance the safety of the 25th Street pedestrian/cycling corridor. Harwood and lower East Hill may not be the wealthiest neighbourhoods in Vernon, but we are rich in history, character, and community. We know that Harwood and lower East Hill are worth protecting and its time for us to stand up and demand these changes go through. James a. love

Eggen crashed into a parked dump truck in Salmon Arm’s industrial park and died at the scene. A trial has been set to begin at the Salmon Arm law courts Oct. 20. It is scheduled to take seven days and would wrap up Oct. 31. The B.C. Criminal Justice Branch, which laid the charge, issued a statement that despite the fatality, the evidence “does not provide a substantial likelihood of conviction for dangerous driving causing death.” This is because “the prosecution cannot prove that the officer’s driving conduct factually and legally contributed to the crash of the second vehicle and the death of its driver.” Chan is on duty at the Salmon Arm detachment pending the trial.

Changes to the Agricultural Land Commission aren’t going over well. The Regional District of North Okanagan is raising concerns about new legislation the Liberal majority in the Legislature approved regarding the Agricultural Land Reserve. “More consultation was required,” said director Mike Macnabb. The new rules will allow some non-farm uses to occur within the ALR in the north, Kootenay and Cariboo zones. There will also be six local ALC panels to make decisions on exclusions and permitted uses. RDNO wants local MLAs and the Ministry of Agriculture to attend a meeting and discuss the changes. “We need to say we’re disappointed,” said director Juliette Cunningham of the process.

Communities combat speeding Morning Star Staff

A battle against speeding has a new weapon in three North Okanagan municipalities. A partnership between Spallumcheen, Armstrong and Enderby, together with the RCMP and the Safe Communities Unit resulted in the communities contributing to the purchase and deployment of a radar speed board, which was unveiled in Armstrong Thursday. The board will be rotated between the three communities at two-week intervals. Each community has compiled a list of deployment locations so it will be seen throughout the three communities on a regular basis. The three communities shared in the cost of the unit which is compact, automated and lightweight. It is perfect for school zones and rural or high-density residential neighbourhoods that wish to

monitor vehicle traffic volumes, speeds and focuses on educating drivers. “The unit will be deployed in areas that are experiencing high levels of collisions, speeding and or in an area that the safety of others is at risk due to lighting, road design or traffic and pedestrian volume,” said Warren Smith, with the Safe Communities Unit. The board has two main uses. It collects data such as volume, speeds and peak periods of violators. And it can be used as an education tool to provide a motorist with an immediate reminder as to what the posted speed limit is as well as to what is the speed that they are travelling at. A key part of the radar speed board effectiveness will be the board’s length of deployment times and the ability to be transported to a difference location.

Drivers often get tunnel vision to signage or other items along the roadway. These pieces of equipment are very effective for short time periods thus with the rotation of the board between the three communities it will remain effective in reminding drivers to slow down. The data collected will be shared with all

three communities, the Safe Communities Unit and the VernonNorth Okanagan RCMP detachment. In most cases traffic enforcement is aware of areas of concern and you never know when you may find an officer waiting for any speeders on the other side of the speed board’s location,” said Smith.

“Our purpose here is to reduce traffic speeds and ultimately reducing incidents of speed such as collisions with other vehicles, pedestrians and or public or private property. “At the end of the day, we want to improve the quality of life for our residents, users of the area and ideally we want to create safer streets.”

Michael Tindall , Community Foundation of the North Okanagan president, announces nearly $90,000 in grants handed out to 21 groups for various projects Wednesday at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre.

Foundation fills local needs roger knox Morning Star Staff

s r a e Y g n i t a r b Cele 40 Congratulations Ronnalea McDougall Stacey! Winner for May of our Anniversary Date Night contest with her submission “Living Life and Celebrating Birthdays” Since arriving here in July of 2003, The Vernon Lodge is our hideaway from the world! My hubby and I have celebrated birthdays, anniversaries and come for work dinner/dances here. We migrated here to Vernon from the Coast in 2003 to assist my husband’s parents, and when they moved to their apartment Mom donated her very large plants to your Lodge. It is very sentimental for us, as Mom has now passed away, so every time we come to celebrate we often think of her and how she loved tending to her plants with such care, just like everyone else in her life. We chose this particular photo of us and our buddies celebrating three birthdays in March. We usually don’t see each other more than two times a year, so when we get together we celebrate to the fullest. All of us like coming to the Lodge because of the atmosphere and the good food.

It’s a bathtub with a purpose. But like most pieces of helpful equipment, the large tub used by the North Okanagan Hospice Society at Hospice House for massaging, relaxing and therapy for its patients is getting older. The tub needs to be replaced. And it will thanks to a grant from the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan. The hospice society received a grant of nearly $17,000 to help with the $34,000 price tag for replacing the tub. The money was part of more than $87,000 in grants handed out by the Community Foundation Wednesday at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre to 21 North Okanagan groups for projects totalling more than $420,000. “It’s amazing for the North Okanagan to have something like this so groups that are always trying to do something better for the community can get extra cash for specific projects,” said Ron Allen, president of the hospice society’s board of directors. “I think it’s fantastic.” The Community Foundation supports a wide range of projects that benefit those living and working within the boundaries of the Regional District of North Okanagan, including all the member municipalities. “We had (grant) requests in the neighbourhood of $350,000 and we are able to pass out almost $90,000,” said Michael Tindall, Community Foundation president. “A couple of other requests are under consideration.”

Okanagan Basin Water Board has launched a Speak Out initiative for residents to write to their MLA and MP and urge action against invasive species of mussels. Services agents to stop and inspect boats coming into Canada, and urging the province to bring in inspection stations – similar to U.S. programs that have self-funded boater-pay sticker programs. The province has estimated an effective inspection program would be about $2.4 million

per year (15 stations at a cost of $60,000$160,000 each per year). “We’ve done our research, boat inspections stations and the right legislation in place are key,” said Findlater. “It’s impractical to be at each boat launch with so many private launch sites. But, there are only so many roads into the

province and these can be monitored much more easily. This effort to encourage residents to join us in our call for action comes from valley citizens themselves who have been asking ‘What can we do?’ “This is urgent. We can win if we can get senior government to act now,” said Findlater.

After two years of calls to the province and federal government to help prevent invasive zebra and quagga mussels from being brought into the valley, the Okanagan Basin Water Board is ramping up efforts. The local agency responsible for providing leadership on water issues has launched a Speak Out initiative, inviting residents to go to www. DontMoveAMussel.ca and write to their MLA and their MP and urge action. “We need the provincial and federal governments to step up to the plate. Zebra and quagga mussels are a triple threat to our well-being,” explained OBWB chairperson Doug Findlater. “They pose a significant environmental threat, a threat to our infrastructure which we’ll all pay for with increased taxes, and an economic threat to tourism and more.” Research conducted for the OBWB notes that an invasion of these mussels, originally from Europe, could cost the Okanagan more than $43 million a year to just manage. They are known to stimulate toxic algae blooms, litter beaches with sharp shells, clog boat motors, foul water intakes and outfalls, put fish and the ecology of our lakes at risk, and more.

Region backs Kingfisher richard rolke Morning Star Staff

An environmental organization battered by the weather has received support. The Regional District of North Okanagan will back the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre when it seeks funding from government and other agencies to recover from a landslide May 2. “Hopefully we can help them get back on their feet,” said director Jackie Pearase. Substantial damage occurred when Cooke Creek burst its banks, sending a torrent of

mud, water and trees through the centre and into the Shuswap River. A no occupancy sign has been put onsite due to the danger of the slide and the possibility more debris may come tumbling down. Pearase, the Splatsin First Nation and centre officials recently met with Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo to discuss the need to repair the damage so the facility can continue to enhance the salmon population. RDNO will ask the provincial government to provide the centre with financial assistance. “We think they should come to the party,” said Pearase.

Tradition makes strides for Dads Morning Star Staff

While many Vernon residents will be celebrating Father’s Day with traditional ties and watches, many others will be tying running shoes and watching the race clock while taking part in another North Okanagan tradition. Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation’s 15th annual Do It For Dad Run and Walk, presented by Interior Savings, takes place June 15 at Coldstream Ranch. “More than 350 people come out faithfully each year to honour the fathers and men in their lives by raising funds to fight prostate cancer right here in our community,” said Sue Beaudry, the foundation’s director of development. Like the origins of Father’s Day, Do It For Dad was established as a tribute to fathers. The event was founded in 1999 by then-MLA Dr. April Sanders, who wanted to raise community awareness of prostate cancer and the need for early diagnosis and treatment. “Do It for Dad is a tribute to my step-dad and his quiet, solitary struggle with prostate cancer,” said Sanders. Throughout his battle with the disease, Sanders says she was taught the importance of early diagnosis, the need for increased prostate cancer awareness, the benefit of peer support groups and that the system was not perfect. “Do It for Dad tries to implement these les-

sons on behalf of all of the men in our community. When their lives are touched by prostate cancer, we do not want them to carry that burden alone.” Sanders remains committed and involved with the planning of Do It For Dad and is the honourary chair of this year’s event. While the event is community-oriented, featuring family-friendly activities such as facepainting, the Kalamalka Caring Klowns, and the Kalamalka Pipe Band, there is also a competitive spirit involved, with prizes awarded to the top three men’s and women’s finishers, as well as the top team and individual fundraisers for the event. Local businesses have also donated prizes for draws for dads, race participants and volunteers. “Even though the reason for the event is serious, there is a festive atmosphere as we

celebrate our victories and keep up the fight against prostate cancer,” said Beaudry. Do It For Dad is the only event that opens up Coldstream Ranch to the public. “We’re very grateful to Coldstream Ranch for their ongoing support as the venue for the event. Experiencing the beauty of the ranch, spending time with family and friends, and doing something meaningful for the community makes for a great Father’s Day,” said Beaudry. Registration opens at 8:30 a.m. and the walk and run starts at 9:30. Registration is $10 for youth and $20 for adults. Participants who raise $50 or more in pledges will have their registration fee waived. Pledges and donations can be made online at www.vjhfoundation.org/events/do-itfor-dad.

Stay Regular Do you have less than three bowel movements per day? You could be suffering from constipation. Elimination is the most basic form of detoxification, and the way in which your body removes toxins and waste materials. When bowel movements become infrequent, constipation can ensue causing bloating, gas, hemorrhoids, nausea, and fatigue. Built up waste can lead to toxins being re-absorbed into the body and a decrease in nutrient absorption. Along with daily exercise and increased hydration, try these natural health tips to decrease constipation: Cleanse Your Colon Doing a colon cleanse aids your system in removing built up waste and toxins. Many cleanses increase colon hydration and peristalsis (the muscular movement of the colon), allowing the colon to function at optimal levels.

Under the good neighbour bylaw, property owners are responsible for maintaining their property as well as the adjacent boulevard and lane areas. “Quite frequently, it is the small things that make the difference — the trimming of a hedge, removing sucker shoots from a tree in the vision clearance area or the mowing of a boulevard,” said Clint Kanester, bylaw compliance manager. “It’s all about getting along and think-

Spall replants pot plans, again roger knox Morning Star Staff

Spallumcheen’s proposed medical marijuana bylaw has been amended again. Council voted unanimously Monday to amend the proposed bylaw to allow medical marijuana production in the agricultural and agricultural industrial zones only. “I felt if we left it just in the agricultural industrial zone, we would have people who have already put a substantial amount of money into their operation and they would be coming and applying for the agricultural industrial zoning which allows a lot of other Christine Fraser things like rendering plants and slaughter houses,” said Coun. Christine Fraser. The production of medical marijuana is an allowed use in the Agricultural Land Reserve. When staff has made the necessary changes to the proposed bylaw, it will be brought forward for second reading. If passed, the bylaw would then go to a public hearing. More salt Spallumcheen will be building a larger salt storage facility on property it owns on Eagle Rock Road. This will allow for a larger quantity of inventory. “The request is to build a cover-all-type structure with galvanized trusses over a lock block wall system open at one end,” said public works manager Ed Forslund. There would also be a self-contained catchment drain. The proposed facility would be 42-feet-by-40-feet and 28-feet high. To gain approval, council had to pass a development various permit to reduce a front-yard setback

to allow adequate spacing for vehicle traffic. “This will allow for storage of an adequate inventory on hand to reduce the cost and inconvenience of having to reorder supply on a regular basis,” said Forslund. “ It will allow for better time management and accommodate more coverage of the community.” No questions Council has scrapped its question period segment of regular meetings until after municipal elections in November. Deputy chief administrative officer Corey Paiement wrote in a report that question period can be used for political purposes, particularly in the months leading up to a municipal vote. Coun. Christine Fraser recommended staff investigate other communities to see what their councils do, but when it was pointed out by Paiement that Salmon Arm eliminate question period in the months leading up to an election, Couns. Joe Van Tienhoven, Ed Hanoski and Rachael Ganson defeated Fraser’s motion. “Let’s just do it,” said Van Tienhoven. Coun. Todd York was absent from the meeting.

Schmidt says farewell Heat Kal grad stars in CIS volleyball KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

Exhibition tournaments in Barbados and San Diego, five years of winning, and a love for her teammates and coaches has Lenai Schmidt wishing for Groundhog Day. The smiling 22-year-old Kalamalka Laker grad feels like she is losing something extraordinary after completing an all-star university volleyball career with the UBC Okanagan Heat. “It went by so fast,” said Schmidt. “I would love to be able to play volleyball for another five years. Our team was like family.” Head coach Steve Manuel and his staff recruited Schmidt when she was a power hitter for Maria Hansen and Dave Fehr’s high school Lakers. “We had just won nationals and we were spoiled having a mature Libero,” said Manuel, 47, the CIS Coach of the Year in 2013. “We thought that was going to be one of our holes and weren’t sure how the fit was going to look, but as the season went on, Lenai was a perfect fit and was an all-star. I always like it when my players surprise me.” The switch to defensive specialist wasn’t highly dramatic for the 5-foot-7 Schmidt. “My passing and defensive specialities made the switch easier. When I played power, I always liked defence. I try and dig for everything and I was really lucky I started as a freshman. Their Libero retired and I was very surprised to start.” Schmidt began her volleyball journey at Hillview Elemantary under coach Diane Bennett. She did the VSS Soccer Academy in Grades 8 and 9, while playing volleyball for Chris Bennett and Katie Reid. The Heat, now a Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) team,

were in the lower PacWest league for Schmidt’s freshman and sophomore years. They won provincials and nationals in her first season and took the B.C. title before losing the Canadian crown to the Vancouver Island Mariners of Nanaimo in a final match they led by two sets. UBCO were young and somewhat overwhelmed in year one of CIS competition, missing the playoffs. In her senior year, the Heat lost to the Mt. Royal Cougars of Calgary in the first round of playoffs. “It’s way faster (than PacWest),” said Schmidt, who is majoring in pyschologoy with one fnal semester left in her arts degree. “Everyone is so much bigger and stronger and it’s a different game. It’s even a heavier ball. It was definitely a huge jump for us, to go from being at the top and then getting beat on at the bottom.” She found it cool this past season as the Heat surprised the Brandon Bobcats 3-0, 3-1 in the quarterfinals after being ambushed by the Cats in a regular-season encounter. “We had a point to prove,” she smiled. The Heat went to the CIS Canada West Final Four this year at UBC in Vancouver, falling 3-1 to the Trinity Western Spartans of Langley in the bronze match 3-1 (18-25, 25-16, 26-24, 25-14). Manuel said the Heat made some serious noise in the playoffs and are stoked about what they have achieved in the last three years. “We’ve been an underdog for 10 of my 13 years as coach (at UBCO). When we moved to CIS, we became just that college team again and in two-and-a-half years, we’ve proved that we are so much more than that and that we are a legitimately top CIS team in the country.”

Lenai Schmidt of the UBCO Heat reaches for a ball in front of teamate Kaitlynn Given in CIS volleyball play. Megan Festival (2nd year, Calgary) and Brianna Beamish (3rd year, Surrey) combined for 26 kills in the bronze-medal match. Schmidt, playing in the final game of her career, had 15 of the Heat’s 45 total tournament digs. She will finish fourth all-time in digs per set with 2.76 and second all-time with 796 total digs. She is also fifth in the Canada West record book with 24 total digs in a single playoff match (Feb 15, 2013 versus Mount Royal). Peaking at No. 3 in the nation on Jan. 7, 2014, the Heat not only made the playoffs for the second year in three Canada West seasons, they also won their first playoff

series in school history to make their first Canada West Final Four. “In our league, it’s not who’s better, bit’s who shows up that game,” said Schmidt. “There are so many upsets in our league.” Schmidt and the Heat also pulled off a stunner in the Barbados tournament after Christmas last year, stopping the University of Montreal Carabins in the final. Schmidt gave major props to Manuel and his staff. “He’s so good because he believes in us. That’s his motto. He’s on us and everyone has a respect for him and he respect us. The other coaches were also very supportive. Becki (assistant Kosinski

is very technical and helped with my defence.” Manuel describes Schmidt as a quiet leader. “She was a good leader. Everyone respected and liked her. I would call her the glue rather than the leader. Year after year, she showed big improvement from September until playoffs. There was never any doubt she was going to be one of our starters.” Schmidt plans to study recreation therapy for two years at Douglas College in New Westminster after graduating from UBCO. She worked for Canadian Mental Health last summer as a rec assistant.

Hartell struts stuff for U.S. colleges TYLER LOWEY

Staff Writer

Nicholas Hartell won’t be visiting every city in Steve Miller’s Rock’n Me song, but he will be awfully close. The 16-year-old will embark on a month and a half long tour of the U.S. as he plays field lacrosse in front of the top 100 National Collegiate Athletic Association schools in several different showcase tournaments. “I’m really excited. It’s going to be a lot of travel, but that doesn’t bother me,” said Hartell. Hartell started playing box lacrosse four years ago before transitioning to field lacrosse two years later. “I like field lacrosse better. It is a lot more open, more room for individual plays and the game is slower which allows me to think more,” said Hartell. Hartell is a roaming midfielder who stands 5-foot11 and weighs 185 pounds. “Nick is a very agile player. He has great mobility and a hard shot from the outside. He is a skilled player that plays on the edge,” said former Legends’ coach Wes Landels. Landels coached Hartell most recently at the last season with the Legends and with the North Okanagan Bandits at Best of West Tournament in late February in Las Vegas. Hartell’s stats echoed his coach’s testaments. Hartell sniped nine goals and 10 points in 12 games last fall for the Legends while racking up 26 penalty minutes. Hartell headed to Seattle Friday where he practised with the West Coast Starz, the Seattle Starz and the High Rollers. All three teams are affiliated with Adrenaline Lacrosse. Hartell made it as a midfielder

last January after a series of tryouts in Seattle. Adrenaline Lacrosse is an organization that creates teams of elite players from the western U.S. and Canada and exposes them in tournaments out east. The Eastern seaboard is a hotbed for college lacrosse. The High Rollers have a 75 per cent college placement success rate. “I think he will do well. He is going to learns lots, the level competition is way different down there. It will be good for him,” said Landels. After a few practices, he will begin collecting frequent flyer miles as he plays in two to four-day tournaments in Denver, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Philadelphia (twice), Seattle and Boston. The Duke Blue Devils of Durham, N.C. recently repeated as NCAA champions in field lacrosse and will be one of the schools checking out North America’s up and coming talent. “I would like to go to Duke or a UNC (Univeristy of North Carolina), that’s the dream. I am just aiming for universities in the States if I can,” said Hartell. “This is what you need to do if you want to go to these big programs, it is all about exposure. He’s got great support from his family and he is a talented kid. He should have a pretty good showing down there,” said Landels. The midfielder is still a few years from battling for NCAA supremacy, as he is wrapping up Grade 11 at Kalamalka with plans to transfer to Eastlake high school in Sammamish, Wash. There he will work under coach Chris O’Dougherty, who is also a coach with Adrenaline Lacrosse.

Emery Bardock chips onto the third green at the Spallumcheen Ladies Open Wednesday morning.

Morning Star Staff Jessica Claggett of Kelowna’s Two Eagles Golf Academy shot a 1-under 72 Wednesday to win the Spallumcheen Ladies Open golf tournament. Claggett, 20, placed 15th in the B.C.

Lynda Palaniuk of Kelowna Golf & Country Club carded a 73 for second place, while Melanie Grant of Kelowna was third at 77. Roseanne Nish of Shuswap Estates was the overall low net champion with a 65. Marsha Allen of Spall won the second flight low gross at 93 on a countback, while Doreen Byers of Gallagher’s Canyon in Kelowna claimed the third flight title at 97 and Betty Hawkins of Shuswap lake took the fourth flight with a 102. Linda Doyle of Spall was runner-up low gross in the second flight with 93, while clubmate Faye Viergutz had 102 for the third flight prize. Joan Widdifield of Shuswap won the fourth flight with a 106. Third low gross by flights went to Emery Bardock

of Gallagher’s at 85, Lynn Wiewior of Shuswap at 99, Arlene Sahistrom of Eagle Point in Kamloops at 108 and Jenni Butler of Shuswap at 111. Gwen Redfern of Shuswap won the fourth flight low gross at 87, followed by Gloria Regier of Spall with 101, Fern Gosselin of Eagle Point at 108 and Rikki Wintemute of Spall at 111. Sigi Bentham of Spall won the first flight low net at 68, while Raija Comminetti of Royal York took the fourth flight at 74. Spall golfers Wendy Colley (69), Helen Jagow (74) and Kathryn Patton (76) took runner-up low net in the first, second and fourth flights, respectively. Carole Morin of Spall ruled the second flight with a net 76 (countback), while Celine Lockert of Spall won the third flight at 79. Spall golfers Neva Gigliuk (76), Linda Bridgeman (76) and Diane Oakden (81) topped the first through third flights, respectively. n Vernon’s Conner Kozak shot his third consecutive 3-over 75 Friday to end up at 7-over 295, good enough for an 11th-place tie in the CIS Golf Canada Championships in Winnipeg.

Raiders roll over Rocks Morning Star Staff

The Kelowna Raiders stuffed the Armstrong Shamrocks 18-7 in Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse play Friday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. A share of first place was up for grabs as the Raiders entered Friday two points behind the Rocks. The Raiders (4-2) didn’t look back after jumping out to a 4-1 lead after the first frame. “We didn’t come out of the starting blocks last night. It was a little disappointing,” said Rocks’ goalie Chad Pieper. Vic Wiens pulled the hat trick for Kelowna, while Joe Brown added a hatty and four helpers, Luke Bailey had a pair of snipes, Scott Renner recorded a goal and six assists and singles came from Cody Evans, Corey Siegner and Jacob Illichman. Luke Bailey entered the game leading the TOSLL but was over taken by Jarrett Medhurst’s five-goal

showing. Medhurst has 11 goals and 20 points in four games. “Jarrett is playing with some great playmakers. He has always been a good finisher for us,” said Pieper. Medhurst scored four of his five in the second for the Rocks (4-2), while Steve Clark had four assists and singles coming from Brennan Plante and Kas Boudreau. It was a highly spirited affair as the teams combined for 105 penalty minutes. “It was an aggressive game by both sides. It’s always rough and tough when we play. The game normally goes to whoever can control themselves the best,” said Pieper. Armstrong heads North to battle the Kamloops Rattlers (1-5) Friday night. The Rocks return home for a rematch with the Raiders Saturday night for the North Okanagan Lacrosse Alumni night.

Terry Lowe of the 3-3-2 Tiremen cranked a 10-yarder off the left post and Ken Rath struck the crossbar and was robbed by substitute Kelowna keeper Dwight Folk, early in the second half. Kal Tire keeper Pete (The Heat) Richter used the second-half wind to boot a few 65-yard kicks for solid scoring chances.

Try this 3 point checklist to ensure a heavenly fit

www.vernonmorningstar.com

Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL

Stand side on in front of a mirror, the back band that goes around your body should be horizontal.

Make sure that any wires at the front and under your arms are flat against your rib cage and don’t dig in.

The cups should enclose your bust comfortably, with no bulging or squeezing

Your dreams will come true, but not all at once. Continue to learn and absorb all that you can. Remember that slow progress is still progress, and you could miss a valuable opportunity if you try to rush things. Be patient and build a solid future.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder KEEP CONTROL OF A BAD BREAK Professor Shlomo Benartzi, an expert on various types of behavioral finance, said, “Self-control is not a problem in the future. It’s only a problem now when the chocolates are next to us.” Keeping the trump suit under control is often a problem of what to do now, at this trick. Today’s deal would trip the unwary or the perennially optimistic. How should South play in four spades after West leads the heart six? East opened with a textbook vulnerable weak two-bid, promising a good six-card suit and 6-10 high-card points. South made a takeout double, and North cue-bid to indicate at least 12 high-

card points. South started showing four-card suits in ascending order, and North raised to game in spades. South has two losers in the red suits, so at first glance needs to find spades 3-2. However, on closer inspection, declarer will notice that he can discard dummy’s heart losers on his club winners. Without further thought, but perhaps after eating an orange cream or two, South would win with dummy’s heart ace, cash the two top trumps (getting the bad news), and take his three clubs, discarding dummy’s hearts. However, when he next plays a diamond, West wins with his ace, draws trumps, and leads a heart, resulting in down four.

Often, when you must make use of a side suit, it is right to play on that suit first. Here, declarer should win the first trick, draw one round of trumps, take his heart discards on the clubs, and play a diamond. Everything is then under control. South loses only two spades and one diamond.

years of playing the game and Parr’s 65, neither had ever been dealt a perfect hand. Until last month that is, when Kolman and his wife had Parr over for their weekly dinner. “When we’re done eating the two of us always play crib while my wife graciously cleans up,” said Kolman. “We always play the best out of three games and it can usually go either way. Sometimes I’m the champion one week, and then he’s the champion the next. “But on this night he was getting more than his fair share of good hands.” And then “it” happened, he said. But neither Kolman, who had dealt the cards, nor his father-in-law caught on to the crib hand that had been dealt. “Even as he played his three fives it didn’t register. But when we were done he laid his

cards down and said to me ‘Look, the jack matches the five we cut.’ I immediately shot my chair back, put my hands over my mouth and said, ‘OMG, you’ve got a perfect hand!’” Kolman’s wife dropped what she was doing, came over to the crib table and the three stared in utter amazement, stunned at this rare feat. “None of us had ever seen a perfect hand dealt in crib.” Kolman then did some research, going online and discovering that the odds of getting this perfect hand are just one in 216,580. The two play three games twice a week for a total of six games — Kolman estimates that at their current rate of play it would take 694 years to get another perfect hand. “After we settled down he looked at us and said, ‘Well I can

Where is the OFF switch?

n 1960 I wrote my first computer program while working for UNIVAC Corp in San Francisco on a contract with the FAA in the U.S. to install computers in regional air traffic control centres. The advent of fast jet-powered airliners and the growing popularity of air travel required much faster processing of the data being handled by these centres. Programming in those days involved punching holes in cards or paper tape to create instrucVernon PC Users’ Club tions in binary code to be interpreted and executed by a digital computer. Outside of my workplace when asked what I did for a living and I answered “computer programmer” usually evoked two additional questions: “what’s a computer?” and then “OK, what’s a program-

mer?” Although the work was tedious and frustrating at first (I had never seen a computer before), I really enjoyed it. And when a program actually did what it was supposed to do I was downright ecstatic. Then I moved on to programming larger machines using higher level assembler and compiler languages that obviated the need to code in zeros and ones. Upon returning to Canada in 1966 I began work as an IT manager and consultant until retirement when I took up programming again as a hobby, this time on a little PC. Adapting to the Windows environment and the many programming languages available was a challenge compared to what I was used to, but it wasn’t long before I was able to create a few practical applications up on the Internet, mainly concerned with image management. I’ve been through several generations of operating systems, currently running Windows 8.0 on a laptop. I also use an iPad mainly to test the software on

the smaller tablet platform and to access e-books. The latter is great while the former is driving me crazy. In frustration having to code in zeros and ones pales in comparison to the current intrusiveness of Windows. When I’m online using any browser I’m continually bombarded by popups urging me to install all manner of products, many of which regardless of what I do partially install themselves in order to remind me incessantly to buy and install the “full version” of their products. If I don’t comply I get popups that warn that my hard drive is about to crash, that I’ve got hundreds of registry errors, that Java and other add-ons and plugins need to be installed or upgraded and so on, and on. Hence the title of this article. I know that switch exists and I believe it is labelled Linux! The next meeting of the Vernon PC Users’ Club is Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Schubert Centre in the cafeteria. Call Betty at 542-7024 or Olive at 5428490 for more information.

But there is hope. “By educating yourself about dementia and learning caregiving techniques, you have the ability to maintain quality of life for both you and the person you are caring for,” says Gronlund. That education can begin with the society’s free Family Caregiver Series, which runs on two Fridays, June 20 and 27, in

Vernon. The series runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the People Place, 3402-27th Ave., and provides practical techniques and strategies that caregivers can begin using immediately. Pre-registration is required. For information and to register, contact Gronlund toll-free at 1-800-634-3399 or cgronlund@ alzheimerbc.org. For more information visit www.alzheimerbc.org.

Agency needs a hand richard rolke Morning Star Staff

They’re there lending a hand when someone is burned out of their home or flood waters threaten. And now Emergency S u p p o r t Services is hoping Enderby area residents Helen Sinclair will consider volunteering for the agency. “We want to be part of the community of the North Okanagan,” said Helen Sinclair, with ESS, which is part of North Okanagan Emergency Management. An open house will be held

Wednesday from 5:30 to 9 p.m. at the Enderby fire hall. “We are urging people to come and find out about ESS and how to serve the community,” said Sinclair. “There will be a basic demonstration of our process during an emergency.” Sinclair hopes there will be interest in ESS after a mudslide ripped out part of Mabel Lake Road and cut off access to Kingfisher. Among ESS’ mandates is to provide people with short-term access to housing, meals and clothes when impacted by an emergency. “Come out and meet your ESS team and find out what preparations you can make and which details are taken care of for you,” said Sinclair.

after it was decided to no longer use local RCMP officers. “They (conservation officers) are a better fit because they already do a lot of patrols on Mara, Mabel and Sugar lakes,” said rural Enderby director Jackie Pearase. The EAAC budgets about $21,000 a year for enforcement on lakes and the Shuswap River, although the RCMP were only paid $15,000 last year. “We are seeing possible conflicts and we want to prevent them,” said Pearase of speeding boaters, polluters and river bank erosion. However, EAAC officials admit some hesitation about turning the service over to conservation officers. “We hear about how short-staffed the conservation officers are so I’m wondering where the people will come from (for patrols),” said Pearase.

To help people join the campaign, a series of community workshops are being offered throughout B.C., including one at the Vernon library Thursday from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The free workshop will be led by Don Wright, an Amnesty International activism co-ordinator based in Vancouver. “Torture is never justified,” said Wright. “It’s inhumane and it is illegal under international law, yet it is still used in most countries, by governments that have signed treaties forbidding its use.” The workshop has been designed to introduce participants to the

Vernon Christian School student Josh Van Gameren gives Owen Hoekstra a lift during the recent field trip the Grade 11 PE students hosted for VCS preschoolers. “It was a time for building community for our Grade 11 students to give time and energy to the next generation of VCS students,” said Corinne Remple, VCS marketing and communications coordinator .”

Building community and sharing smiles Morning Star Staff

With the luxury of having two campuses in such close proximity, Vernon Christian School students have an opportunity to grow community unlike most other schools. The elementary campus is home to preschool to Grade six students and the secondary campus is comprised of a middle and secondary program — Grades 7 to 12. Being so close provides unique and accessible learning experiences for VCS students. “Our students love the cross-campus experiences, whether it’s the reading buddies program, sporting events or simply to sing Christmas carols together,” said Matt Driediger, secondary campus principal. “By the time the younger students are ready to make the transition they are comfortable with the secondary campus and the older students; it’s a winning situation for students and staff.” Recently the Grade 11 PE students had the chance to play

host on a field trip with one of the VCS preschool classes. The students went up to Middleton Mountain for a hike, lunch and treasure hunt. At first the students in both classes were a bit shy, unsure how to interact but by the end of the trip the connections made were strong and friendships were forged. It was a time of laughter, smiles and creating life-long memories. “You know when the idea came up I wasn’t so sure what it was going to be like. But I had so much fun. We all did — I can’t remember the last time I smiled that much. It was a great way to spend a morning,” said Grade 11 student Taryn Douma. “It reminded me of my early years at VCS, the excitement of hanging with the older students — our school has been such a fun, safe place to grow up in. Student Gabby Edblad said unstable weather meant the planned treasure hunt had to be revised at the last minute. “Our PE teacher, Mr. Jason Reedyk, conveniently dropped a treasure map in an obvious location where it would be

found,” she said. “We spent a bit of time looking around and trying to help the kids figure out the clues. You should have seen the preschoolers’ faces when they each opened their treasure box. Inside was their picture reminding them that their Heavenly Father sees them each as precious treasure — it was a real delight to experience such pure joy.” Corinne Remple, VCS marketing and communications coordinator, said the school’s VCS secondary students have natural opportunities to serve and explore potential career paths because of the close proximity of the two campuses. “These experiences include teacher assistance placements, working in the library, leading in recreation activities and special events,” she said. VCS prepares students for leadership and service within a Christian learning community. To find out more about registration or program information, call 250-545-7345, ext 8, or visit www.vcs.ca.

Catherine (not her real name) was at a point where she could see two paths before her. “I could keep drinking but I knew that would hurt me more in the long run. The other was to stay sober which would be harder in the short term. I made the decision to get sober and saw the practical benefits right away. I

was a better mother and I was doing better at school.” The path had already been a hard one. She grew up in a family where her mother was an alcoholic and her father, a heavy drinker, tried to keep things together. The family drink was “snake juice,” a mixture of whatever was available in a mason jar. By the time she was 10, Catherine was taking her own jar and some cigarettes and riding her horse out on the trails to get away from it all. “It was a very volatile, violent and abusive, chaotic environment. Even when my mother got sober, she still had to deal with her own issues and emotions of guilt and fear. I became a rebellious, nightmare teenager, in trouble with the law, resisting all attempts at help. I moved out of home when I was 15 and was pregnant and married at 17,” she said. She realized then that she had to change and went to college while her parents helped with her child. But she was still drinking and doing drugs and developed a serious eating disorder.

“I could take a drink but I didn’t know where that drink was going to take me.” — Catherine “I was drinking alone, going to bars alone, taking men I didn’t know home with me, drinking and driving. Anything could have happened to me. I had no control over my behaviour once I picked up a drink. I could take a drink but I didn’t know where that drink would take me,” she said. “The pain of being in my own skin was intolerable. I would be drunk by 9 a.m. so I could cope. It was so painful to even think of giving up my only relief.” Catherine was 22 when her mother took her to an AA meeting. “The room was very calm and people were very kind to each other and welcoming to me. There was an atmosphere in that room that I had never experienced in my life. It was peaceful and appealing. I heard other people talk about their alcoholism. Others had done what I had done and thought what I had thought. I had a

terrible sense of aloneness and shame and fear. People there had found a way to live well and have full lives without alcohol, they had a centre and a groundedness. They didn’t judge me, they accepted me as I was and I craved that acceptance.” She started to change as she followed the program, got to know her sponsor and went to meetings regularly. The path she had chosen was not always easy. “The next time I drank, I knew what I was doing, that I was trying to run away from myself. I knew I didn’t have to do that. It was getting intolerable to go back drinking.” The time came when someone offered her a drink and she said no. “I knew I was through with drinking. I made a decision to live. Slowly and steadily, life improved.” She remarried, had more children, finished her education, was suc-

cessful professionally and is now working on a master’s degree. “Now I am able to give back to others and that gives back to me. I learned the satisfaction of helping others — that is central to our healing. Now three generations of my family— my mother, myself and my daughter — have gotten sober through AA. I wish people would try AA, give themselves a chance at life. AA has worked for millions of people.” For more information about local AA meetings, call 250-5454933 to talk or to go to a meeting with a member.

Visitors spend some time kayaking on the Columbia River near Fairmont Hot Springs, which provides views of the Purcell Mountains.

A six-pack of hot springs cherie thiessen Special To The Morning Star

B.C. - We have paradise to ourselves: three pools snugging into the hill. The lowest, edging the banks of the Lussier River, is luring us to try its frigid temperatures, but it’s too cold. At 44 C, the top pool is just a tad too hot. In true Goldilocks style, I step into the middle pool and proclaim it just right. While eagles overhead check the river for different delights, I’m in Nirvana, wrapped in the springs’ soothing mineral waters. How can anything so pleasurable be good for you? Nevertheless, the Kootenay Rockies’ hot springs are known for their therapeutic benefits. The mineral content of the waters are widely believed to increase metabolism, accelerate healing, soothe muscles, improve blood circulation and detoxify the body’s lymphatic system, not to mention what they do for the soul. On day three of our eight-day circular hot springs tour, my partner. David, and I are already humming. For the past two days we’ve been making tracks in our Pleasure Way RV toward the start of the tour in Cranbrook, delighted to soon cross off one more dream on our bucket list — renting a small RV and driving the hot springs route, camping in comfort as we go. This undeveloped hot springs in Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park is the first to be savoured. After picking up our RV at Canadream in Delta, we made tracks for Osoyoos and Nk’Mip Campground. Day two led us to Cranbrook and nearby Moyie Lake Provincial Park. Now on day three, with swimsuits donned, we’ve

Lussier Hot Springs’ middle pool is just right. Lussier is near Canal Flats in the East Kootenays. quickly covered the 225 kilometres to Lussier. We rise reluctantly from the waters, but knowing Fairmont Hot Springs is just half an hour away provides incentive. We ogle the crumbling hoodoos rearing precariously up over the highway en route, before rolling into the community of Fairmont Hot Springs and then into Fairmont’s highly rated RV park. The views of the Purcell Mountains are awesome, the facilities great, the expansive pools a short walk away, and there are many activities to engage in before and after soaking. We tug on our still damp suits and tumble blissfully into yet another indulgence that’s good for us, already excited about next morning’s kayak

trip. After all, the next port of soak, Radium Hot Springs, is only 37 kilometres away. Day four and we meet up with our kayaking guides to bounce down the Columbia River, splashing and bucking our way through rapids, spotting eagles, ospreys, and woodpeckers and getting crimped necks from staring up at the Rockies. And the cure for stiffness is a long soak at Radium Hot Springs, of course, and we’re soon doing exactly that in 39 C mineral waters. The road to Radium Hot Springs slices through a dramatic cleft in the canyon walls, and if that if that doesn’t impress you, the mountain goats who seem to own the road, may. High in sulphates, calcium, and bicarbonates,

these springs are located in Kootenay National Park, as is our Redstreak Campground. Sprawled on a sunny plateau almost overlooking Radium, the large forest campground offers all amenities and throws in campfires with a permit. After a quiet night, we awake to the aroma of wood smoke and the promise on day five of two more hot springs. Today, we climb up Rogers Pass, rub up against more Rockies and shortly after Revelstoke enjoy a free ferry cruise over Upper Arrow Lakes, soon to be greeted on the other side by wellnamed Halcyon Hot Springs. Spotlessly clean and beautifully located over the lake, abutted by the Monashee Range, Halcyon offers three pools on two levels. After another idyllic soak, we carry on a further 35-km. to Nakusp Hot Springs, at the end of a winding mountain road. The day winds down with a 36-km detour to Burton Historical Park on Arrow Lake and another snug night in our rolling hotel. Day six and 150 kilometres later, we’re in Ainsworth at Kootenay Lake, reluctantly about to have the final soak in the last of our six-pack. Intrigued by tales of the magical caves here we splash there first. It’s 44 C in this steamy grotto, so we soon start dissolving. Time now to try the cooler pool before rinsing our suits and turning our thoughts to Osoyoos once again. Tomorrow we’ll be savouring a final treat, dinner at Nk’mip’s Mica restaurant, raising our glasses of their Riesling to celebrate a great road trip. Cherie Thiessen is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Tribute artist shows the evolution of Elvis Penticton’s Adam Fitzpatrick proves why Elvis is still King when he performs in Vernon on the Bringing it Back tour June 19 BarB Brouwer Black Press

Jumpsuits, glitz, great music and more; Adam Fitzpatrick is coming to Vernon June 19 and he’s bringing the King of Rock ’n’ Roll’s Vegas-era music with him. Declared first runner-up in an international Elvis tribute contest last year, Fitzpatrick will have the full-band backing of the Cadillac Kings. High from a recent 10-stop tour across western Canada, Fitzpatrick says he thinks people will be blown away by the quality of the 10-piece band, back-up singers, the Uptown Hornz and what he describes as “the best Elvis drummer around.” “We had our first kick at the can together and it worked out good,” he says of the tour. Fitzpatrick, who got his start as an Elvis tribute artist by winning a contest in Penticton, toured with the Louisiana Hayride, whose creators Lori and Gil Risling recently moved to Saskatchewan. “The timing was good because I am now getting so busy, I couldn’t commit to the Hayride,” he says, noting he will always have a soft spot for the show and performers. “I love our schedule now, we’re getting lots of shows and that’s the main thing.” But Fitzpatrick is still competing. “I haven’t had too many bites from being second in the world so I guess I still need to get my name out there,” he says. “I love doing the competitions, they’re a lot of fun and you meet a lot of people.” Competing will take him to Blackpool, England from July 4 to 6, a qualifier for the ultimate world contest. “My schedule is very tight so I can really only enter two to three (qualifiers) a year,” he says, pointing out he heads to Vegas for another qualifier one day after he returns from

elvis tribute artist adam Fitzpatrick brings his award-winning act, complete with a full band, to the Vernon Performing arts Centre Thursday, June 19. England. “Just in case, I’m also going to Collingwood, Ont. where they hold the biggest Elvis festival in the world.” Winning a qualifier is essential to gaining entry into the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest held annually in Memphis. Whether he wins a berth in the ultimate, or not, Fitzpatrick has booked a show in the Memphis Hotel during the week of the competition. He has twice gained entry into the world competition, coming in 15th on his first try in 2012 and second last year. He says the other Elvis tribute artists are “awesome guys” and competitors are supportive of each other. “You can’t take competitions too seriously; there’s always politics,” he says, noting winning one year doesn’t mean a

shoe-in for the following one. “It depends on what the judges are looking for, and last year, I had it.” While he’s striving to satisfy the judges, Fitzpatrick is also having to learn how to fend off inappropriate touching by some female fans. “I’m a pretty tame guy, I’ve always been a one-girl guy,” he says, noting he figures he’ll likely have to deal with the issue for at least another 15 years as an Elvis tribute artist. “If people grapple, I just back away and move to another part of the stage.” Fitzpatrick is already working on possibilities for his post-jumpsuit career. He will release a four-song, country CD June 16 in Penticton, his hometown. “The name of the album and title song is Thank You and is a dedication to family, friends and fans,” he says. “When it starts with a dare and becomes a dream it’s never done alone.” Fitzpatrick, who had never written a song before, says he penned Thank You on the way home from a Hayride tour. Nor had the young talent sung in public before he entered the Elvis competition on a dare. Having now spent so much time learning every Elvis nuance, Fitzpatrick found it tough to find his own voice. “I’m trying to sound like Adam now,” he says, heaping praise on Jimmy Leguilloux, who produced the album. “He’s an amazing coach, musician and producer.” The album includes covers of John Denver’s Country Roads, Forever Amen by Randy Travis and George Jones’ Whose Gonna Fill Their Shoes? “My No. 1 thing for a very long time will be Elvis,” he says. “I’ll write another song when I feel like it. It’s not a priority, I’m having a lot of fun.” Fitzpatrick also has high praise for Mike Schell, his manager and member of the Uptown Hornz, the sanctioned Elvis Presley Enterprises horn section. Joining Fitzpatrick and the band will be special music guest Joe Kelso, with his impressive vocals as Roy Orbison. Also performing will be “Diamond Jones” with his Vegas tribute to Tom Jones and Neil Diamond. The Bringing It Back tour stops at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Thursday, June 19 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $35, available at the Ticket Seller, 250-549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.

Monashee Arts Council brings flower power to Lumby Days Morning Star Staff

Disney

Angelina Jolie teaches kids that there’s good and bad in all of us, as Maleficent.

Jolie is cheeky as evil fairy Maleficent

aleficent (Angelina Jolie) is a beautiful and powerful fairy. The unofficial guardian of the enchanted forest where many magical creatures live, all is well until the nearby human king wants the forest for his kingdom. Amassing an army to take the forest by force, the king is turned away by the multitude of magical beasts who stand behind Maleficent. On his deathbed, the king promises the throne to anyone who can kill Maleficent. An ambitious young commoner, known to Maleficent, chooses to use her trust to get close to her, but is unable to kill her. Instead he cuts off her wings which he presents to the king, gaining the throne. Enraged by this violation, Maleficent curses the new king’s baby daughter, Aurora, who will become Sleeping Beauty before the sun sets on her 16th birthday. Before Aurora turns 16, Maleficent will have a change of heart, but nothing can stop her most powerful of curses and saving Sleeping Beauty may have to be left to someone else. We say, “Maleficent may be a modern fairytale masterpiece.” HOWE: Two words: loved it. When I saw the trailer for Maleficent six odd months ago I rolled my eyes, not because it was a re-telling of the classic story Sleeping Beauty, but because of having Angelina Jolie in it. I’m not a fan of her, as I don’t think she is that great of an actress, but in

Reel Reviews

Taylor and Howe

this she owns the screen every time she appears. She has made the character her own, much as Glenn Close did with Cruella de Vil in 101 Dalmatians. TAYLOR: Fairy tales, I think by definition, are vast, rich stories stemming from a time when magic was an acceptable answer for illogical plot points. So, we must, as an audience, suspend our disbelief, trading it in for a childlike innocence. When a story takes place over a 20-year period, such as is the case with Maleficent, it must be told in broad strokes. So, the film suffers in that adult audiences don’t have time to grow attached to Maleficent herself, by the time her wings are cut off (which is sadly, an almost laughable performance.) However, kids appreciate character on a much baser level

and due to this, the film works. If Maleficent smiles, has fun and is kind she is liked. When she suffers and appears to become vengeful, children understand. On the whole, it’s the best Disney film we’ve seen in a while, if only due to appearances. HOWE: I don’t think taking younger kids to Maleficent will present a problem. Even though it does have a dark side to it, Disney has kept it pretty light and fun with the CGI woodland

creatures, elves and fairies giving it a traditional pantomime feel to it. My only problem with it, and it’s not really that big a deal, is the casting of Sharlto Copley as King Stefan. When he delivered his lines they seemed a little cheesy. But if you can let a few things slide, kids and adults alike will have fun watching Maleficent. – Taylor gives Maleficent 3 lessons in duality out of 5. – Howe gives it 3.5 iron rings out of 5.

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist CHRIS SHIDELER

How is your sunscreen supply? The shelf life for standard sunscreen products is three years but if it has been exposed to high heat during the last summer, it may not be up to potency. It’s good to replace it with some fresh product. Choose one with an SPF of at least 30 and labelled broad spectrum to protect against both UVA and UVB rays. One of the best anti-aging things you can do for your skin is not to overexpose it to sunlight, especially during the middle hours of hot summer days. Use sunscreen lotion and clothing to protect your skin from the ageing effects of sunlight. Those with lung conditions like asthma often use inhalers to help open the airways. These devices work well but only it the medication gets deep into the lungs. So, proper technique is important. Metereddose inhalers must be shaken well, then breathed in slowly and deeply when the inhaler is pressed. Breathing in continuously minimizes the amount of medication that hits the back of the throat. The other type of inhaler is the dry powder inhaler where the force of the patient’s breath moves the medication into the lungs. This type of inhaler comes as single-use or multi-use types. Remember, proper use of these inhalers is important; otherwise, the medication will not work efficiently If you feel you aren’t getting the most from your inhalers, see our pharmacists for advice. We’d be happy to check your technique and help you use them correctly.

Junior chamber members keep active tyler lowey Morning Star Staff

Entrepreneurial spirit and community involvement have come together. Vernon’s Junior Chamber International has been involved in considerable charitable work in the community during the past year and was recently recognized for it. “I am very proud of our members’ hard work,” said Daniel Proulx, the newly elected president of the chapter. “Their dedication has made this community a better place and getting recognized for those efforts is the icing on the cake.” Proulx has been with the JCI for the past three years and was elected president earlier in the year. Proulx, 30, moved to Vernon five years ago from Calgary. The JCI is a non-profit organization that was established to raise

“I am very proud of our members’ hard work.” — Daniel Proulx

funds for the community. The membership is comprised of 19 to 40-year-old businesspeople who want to make a positive difference on the community. The JCI provides people the opportunity to develop the leadership skills, social responsibility and entrepreneurship necessary to create positive change in the community. The JCI’s 15th year in Vernon was a successful one, as it hauled in some hardware at the JCI regional convention May 3 at the Ramada Hotel in Penticton. Vernon won the 2013 regional

chapter of the year award. This award was in recognition of the chapter’s ability to succeed in four areas of opportunity: individual, community, business and international. Last year, it organized the JCI Hospital Gala, an alternative gift fair and teamed up with JCI Harare, in Zimbabwe, to facilitate training for community leaders. Sue Solymosi was also honoured with the regional member of the year award and Alora McGrandle received an honourable mention as the chapter’s rookie of the year.

Vernon’s JCI is in a region with Kelowna, the Kootenays, Abbotsford, Vancouver, Penticton and Prince George. It is also affiliated with JCI Canada and Junior Chamber International. Vernon JCI is currently working with Funtastic to help organize volunteers to sell beverage tickets for the music festival. Proulx says JCI provides a great opportunity for people to network outside of work. “I really enjoy the people I get to meet, it’s so fun,” he said. “Giving back to the community is so important, it’s the most selfish thing I do. I feel so good about it afterwards.” JCI’s next meeting is Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce (Century 21 boardroom). For more information, go to http:// www.jcivernon.com.

Suzanne Robert (left), Barb Vanderhoek and Lauren Barrie, with Voila Hair Studio, are reminding the public that businesses along Pleasant Valley Road remain open during road construction.

Lake Okanagan Resort has been sold. The sprawling resort, which includes accommodation, food and beverage facilities, 5,000 feet of waterfront, a nine-hole golf course and a 30-slip marina, as well as tennis courts and other recreation amenities, is located on Westside Road on the shore of Okanagan Lake. While the listing company, Vancouverbased Jones Lang LaSalle Real Estate Services announced the sale, no sale price was revealed. The asking price was $10.1 million. The resort was owned by a Calgarybased Northwynd Resort Properties. The buyer is being reported by Global Okanagan as being

from mainland China and is connected to a large tourism organization in that country, prompting speculation this area could see an influx of Chinese tourists thanks, in part, to the purchase. Developed in the late 1970s, Lake Okanagan Resort has seen major upgrades in the last five years, with the addition of two new condominium buildings, the marina, gas dock concession facility. It is currently rated as a three-star resort. Sitting on 74 acres, the property has 217 accomodation units, 64 of which are timeshares and 77 of which are privately owned. The new owners are expected to invest heavily in even more upgrades to the resort. The road leading to the resort, Westside

Original Joe’s rallies for SPCA Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Original Joe’s Restaurant and Bar, in partnership with Shock Top, will raise funds for the SPCA. OJ’s community pint program, part of its overall Community Care Fund, provides locations the opportunity to fundraise for an organization of its choice.

Fifty cents from a featured pint is donated to the cause. Between now and Sept. 30, Original Joe’s and Shock Top, a traditional BelgianStyle wheat ale, will each donate 25 cents to the B.C. SPCA for every Shock Top pint sold at OJ’s locations. “The community pint program is our

way of solidifying a sense of unity and co-operation among the communities in which our locations serve,” said Elena Remoundos Original Joe’s marketing and communications manager. “We really identify with each of the organizations and we are excited to be supporting them.”

Vernon accounting student graduates Morning Star Staff

Vernon chartered accountant student Dustin Love graduated from the CA qualification program at a ceremony May 17 in Vancouver. Students recognized at the convocation ceremony are eligible for membership in the Institute of Chartered Accountants of B.C. this year. “Dustin earned his CA designation by successfully completing a rigorous and competitive academic program, focused on business and accounting competencies,” said Richard Rees, chief executive officer of the

Chartered Professional Accountants of B.C. Joint Venture and the Institute of Chartered Accountants B.C. “We are very proud

of him, and he should take great pride in having earned his CA designation.” To qualify as a CA, students must have a

university degree or equivalent, 30 months of practical work experience in a CA approved training office, and complete courses

through the CA qualification program. CAs must also pass a comprehensive rigorous national final exam to earn their designation.

Road, has been rated as one of the worst roads in B.C. for the last years in an annual public survey run by BCAA. The province has been slowly improving the road, widening some parts and straightening out some dangerous curves. Premier Christy Clark, the MLA for the area, has promised Victoria will do even more to improve the road in future.

The Okanagan Basin Water Board has been awarded $50,000 from Environment Canada for phase two of its Okanagan wetland strategy. Phase one included mapping existing wetlands while phase two will focus on communication and protection strategies. “Wetlands, once considered a nuisance and a waste of valuable land, are now known to be valuable to communities,” said Corinne Jackson, OBWB communications director. “They are also like giant filters, absorbing pollutants and breaking them down over time.”
