Future of Civic replacement goes to voters RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The future of a new ice sheet is in the hands of Greater Vernon residents. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee will hold a November referendum to borrow up to $13 million for a 400-seat, NHL-sized ice sheet at the north end of Kal Tire Place. “It’s really up to them and not us,” said Juliette Cunningham, chairperson, of the voters. The decision was unanimous among GVAC members Wednesday to pursue a new facility to replace Civic Arena as an ice sheet. “I understand that $13 million is a lot but it (issue) has been in the political arena a long time. To go to the public is important,” said director Jim Garlick. Civic Arena is 77 years old and

Voters will decide if the ice will be twinned at Kal Tire Place. there is a concern that the major capital issues could lead to the facility suddenly not being available for ice users. Five options were considered — a stand-alone arena, twinning Priest Valley Arena to the west or east or twinning Kal Tire Place to the north or west. “The north one is the best choice we’ve got,” said Garlick. The new arena would utilize the existing ice plant and the zamboni at Kal Tire Place.

It’s estimated that about $150,000 a year could be saved by operating a twin facility instead of having separate structures. “The savings can help pay down the debt or leverage borrowing for additional features the users are asking for,” aid Doug Ross, the City of Vernon’s recreation services director. It’s possible that a twinned Kal Tire Place could attract sports tournaments or training camps. “By having a facility twinned,

you create opportunities,” said Ross. Construction will displace some parking but new parking spaces are planned for along 43rd Avenue. The new ice sheet could also impact the location of the Vernon Farmers Market. Upgrading Civic Arena was investigated, but consultants suggest it could cost $10.8 million to renovate and operate the facility for more than 10 years, and that figure could jump to $13.9 million if an NHL-sized ice sheet is installed. “We have groups that don’t want to play at Civic because of the size of ice,” said Ross, adding that the existing size of the sheet is 180by-80 feet while an NHL surface is 200-by-85 feet. Civic runs an annual $171,000 deficit to operate. Taxpayers will carry the brunt

of the cost of any new arena, but director Mike Macnabb doesn’t believe they should be completely responsible. “Is there any indication that the user groups who want all of this stuff will pony up?” he said. Regional District of North Okanagan staff will now draft a bylaw for GVAC members to consider July 3. Preparation for the referendum will also now get underway. “This is a conceptual design and we will go to the next phase with a facility design we can show to the public,” said Ross. If the ice sheet at Civic Arena is decommissioned, the City of Vernon, as the property owner, will decide what happens with the building. “Whether it’s repurposed, that is something we will be discussing,” said Ross.

ryley Booth keeps cool with a battery-operated fan as he enters the nor-Val Sports Centre during the introduction of graduates. Principal Abbas el gazzar (below) addresses the Class of 2014 prior to graduation ceremonies.
hether they attended for four years, three years or even one semester, graduating students from Armstrong’s Pleasant Valley Secondary School can vividly recall their first day as students at the city’s high school. Nicole Olsen, Kathleen Kalin, Daniel Mckie and Nicholas McKim are among the 135 members of the Class of 2014 who took time before graduation ceremonies Wednesday at the Nor-Val Sports Centre to reflect with a reporter. Olsen and McKim both started at PVSS in Grade 9. “I went to Len Wood Middle School from Grades 6 to 8 and I knew a lot of people at PVSS because I had also gone to elementary school with them,” said Olson. “I remember my first day at Len Wood thinking, ‘soon I will be in high school. I just have to get through the next three years.’ “My first day in high school was stressful. I got lost a couple of times. They give you a piece of paper with your classes on it and you get let loose to find it yourself. My first day in Grade 12 I was laughing at the Grade 9s because they went through the same thing I did on my first day, but I knew they’d catch on to it.”
McKim completed Grade 8 at Len Wood after arriving from Vernon. “My first day at PVSS was fun,” he said. “It was good because I knew a lot of people. I wasn’t nervous going into the bigger school. It was nice, actually.” Mckie also came to Armstrong from Vernon. He started at PVSS in Grade 10. “The first day was good,” said Mckie. “I wasn’t really nervous roger knox/morning star because I knew quite Cara Dickson (left) waits for friend-since-childhood Paige a few people here Copeland to sign her yearbook prior to the start of already.

News Cruiser rammed Morning Star Staff
A Vernon RCMP officer sustained minor injuries after a police cruiser was rammed in Lake Country Wednesday. Shortly before noon, the Vernon-North Okanagan detachment received a report from a loss prevention officer that they were following a truck near Vernon Jubilee Hospital with two people in it that had just shoplifted some items from Buy-Low Foods on 25th Avenue. “Two officers from the Vernon detachment headed out looking for the suspect Gord Molendyk vehicle,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “While they were looking for the vehicle and occupants, they became aware that the Ford truck was reported stolen out of Kelowna. “Our officer advised Lake Country members to be on the lookout for the suspect vehicle and they continued south.” The stolen truck was located at Berry Road and Highway 97 with two people still in it. When the officers attempted to initiate a stop, the male driver rammed a patrol car in an attempt to flee. One of the Vernon officers received a minor injury when his car was hit. “The suspect driver received a minor glass cut from the window breaking during the apprehension,” said Molendyk. The truck was towed to Vernon to conduct further investigation on it. Numerous items in the vehicle have been seized for evidence. The stolen food products from Buy-Low foods were also recovered. The two suspects, a 31-year-old Kelowna man with ties to Alberta, and a 21-year-old woman with a Grande Prairie address, were arrested for possession of stolen property, mischief and assault with a weapon. The pair were remanded in custody and were expected to appear in court Thursday.
For the record The Morning Star would like to correct an error in the June 22 and 25 editions. The body of a Lumby woman, the victim of a disturbance at a Trinity Valley Road residence, was found on the property and not inside the home as was reported. The Morning Star would like to apologize for the error.

SYLVAN IS BACK IN VERNON!
In 29 previous years, Vernon has hosted thousands of ball players for the annual Save-On-Foods Funtastic Slo-Pitch Tournament. Wee Yee, however, is not one of them. The new executive director of the popular softball event and A&W Music Festival gets his first official taste of Funtastic as the 30th anniversary tournament in Vernon kicks off tonight. “I’m brand new at this,” laughed Yee from the army camp, the tournament’s home base, Wednesday. “I never participated as a player. So far, it’s been a great impression. This is a really large event that Vernon and the North Okanagan should be proud. “It is the largest slo-pitch tournament in Canada.” A total of 216 teams with close to 5,000 softball players, will take part in Vernon. Volunteers, sponsors and suppliers have been up at the army camp all week setting up for the four-day event. Games start at various ball diamonds, including the army camp, Kin Race Track, Grahame Park and Alexis Park, tonight and wrap up Monday. Yee joked he’s been wearing knee pads all week, getting down to pray to Mother Nature for good weather. “I hope we get nice weather, but not super hot,” said Yee, who comes to Funtastic from Calgary

where he was involved for more than 20 years with the board of the legendary Calgary Stampede. “I don’t want to be picky, but I’ll take super hot over rain.” As of Thursday, the Weather Network was predicting cloud and some showers today, sunshine and cloud for the rest of the weekend and Monday. Along with the softball, another of the highlights of Funtastic is the annual music festival. For the 30th anniversary tournament, Funtastic has brought back two groups that are no strangers to the army camp stage. Scottish rockers Nazareth will be on stage at 10:30 tonight while iconic Canadian band Trooper will perform at the same time Sunday. Tribute bands featuring the music of Bon Jovi, Aerosmith and AC/DC perform Saturday. Local bands are also part of the music lineup, though there is one change. Redfish has had to pull out, and their 7 p.m. Saturday slot has been filled by Vernon rockers Mace. Funtastic is a North Okanagan event as there are also softball tournaments in Armstrong and Enderby. It’s the 25th anniversary tournament in Armstrong with games starting tonight and running through Monday at the IPE Grounds and Len Wood Middle School. Games also run today through Monday in Enderby, which is hosting its 16th annual Funtastic tournament with games at Riverside Park. The theme in Enderby is “Super Heroes.” Of course, with the influx of visitors, and beverage gardens located at all three North Okanagan tournament venues, RCMP presence will be high. “We will be utilizing full resources,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “We will have officers dedicated full-time to the beer gardens in Vernon. We will be working closely with the security company the tournament has hired. “This also extends to Armstrong and Enderby. We want everybody to have a good time and enjoy the weekend.”

New administrator for district richard rolke Morning Star Staff
There a familiar face leading the Regional District of North Okanagan. Directors announced Wednesday that David Sewell has been hired as the chief administrative officer. He has been the district’s chief financial officer since 2008. “I’m looking forward to the chalDavid Sewell lenge before me,” said Sewell, who has 14 years of local government experience.
“It will be onwards and upwards in terms of improving the quality of service (to residents).” Sewell replaces Trafford Hall, whose role as administrator was terminated April 10. Sewell was among 50 people who applied for the position and five individuals were interviewed. “It was unanimous and an excellent choice,” said director Bob Fleming of the board selecting Sewell for the senior position. “He knows the issues facing the regional district and has a good relationship with the staff and directors. He understands what it takes to get co-operation.”
Rick Fairbairn, vice-chairperson, is confident with Sewell’s ability to lead the organization. “He’s shown an ability to collectively bring staff and the board together to a conclusion that makes sense,” said Fairbairn. “He emerged as the best candidate.” No immediate action will be taken to fill the vacant chief financial officer’s position as corporate officer Jeanne Byron will retire from her duties at some point this year. That means Sewell and the board will determine if there is a need for administrative restructuring. “We have had conversations already of what we need,” said Sewell.

The memorial will be a place for friends and family to gather to reflect on their loved ones. It would also serve as a reminder of the impact of homelessness, addiction and mental illness. Fire hall gets sprinklers An addition is being made to the Predator Ridge fire hall, which is currently under construction. Vernon council has authorized spending up to $40,000
to include a sprinkler system so the fire hall conforms with bylaw requirements for other structures at Predator Ridge. “We should lead by example and because it’s a post-disaster building, we should sprinkler it,” said Keith Green, fire chief. The two bays at the station will house an engine and a water tender, and the building will include a training room, kitchen facilities and a hose tower.

Missing all of it
nyone who has experienced the joy of having a dog in the house knows all too well some of the inconveniences that come with that joy: shedding fur all over the floor, picking up after them in the yard and your favourite shoes chewed beyond recognition. But for the first time in 19 years, we don’t have a dog in the house, and I would give anything to have all of that back. On June 13, our beloved 11-year-old Lab cross, Dom, died. Katherine Mortimer Truly my heart is broken and I have found myself not only crying constantly but missing all of those little inconveniences. But mostly I just miss Dommy: his happy, friendly face, the “smile” he’d give every time I came home. His enthusiasm every time we went for a walk, or when it was time for breakfast or dinner: every walk as though it were his first, every meal as though he hadn’t eaten in months. I sit in the living room and still can’t believe he is not in his usual spot on his bed in front of the window, watching the world go by. Instead, I have his ashes in a box on the mantel, with his collar on top. The day after Dom died I took my daughter and her friends to Lumby Days, as I had promised I would. I was grateful for the sunshine as I literally cried behind my sunglasses every time the girls got on a ride. When we got home that day, I expected to be greeted by Dommy and his goofy, friendly face and when I walked in the door and he wasn’t there, I completely broke down. The thing with a dog is that they are always there and you are always aware of their presence. From their nails tapping on the hardwood floors, to their snoring while they sleep, to lapping up great gulps of water and crunching on kibble (although to be fair, Dommy was more of a kibble-inhaler than one who took the time to chew it). How do you explain the devastation we feel

when we lose a pet? For one thing, they rely on us for everything, and there is a basic human need, I believe, to take care of something or someone. Obviously, our children are the big one for most of us, and I am so blessed to have my daughter helping me to heal during this time: she has given me hugs, drawn pictures of Dommy and said she senses his presence. Dogs essentially remain children for their entire lives. They demand nothing more than love, affection, walks, food, a little play time. They don’t care what we look like first thing in the morning, what kind of mood we’re in. They forgive us our trespasses as humans never can. They don’t hold grudges, they don’t see skin colour, religious affiliation or sexual orientation. No matter their age, they are happy to hug and kiss us in public. They always need us, always think we are the greatest thing on two legs. They are the purest form of love there is. Dom went from his usual puppy-like state to not being himself, and in less than a week, he was gone. We had to say goodbye far too soon and at times the grief I am experiencing threatens to overwhelm me. We had no time to prepare and as always with grief, the guilt threatens to take over. Did I walk him enough? Did I play with him enough? But I know that guilt is both unnecessary and soul-destroying. I know Dommy had a good life; he was very much loved and a little spoiled: the dog hair all over the duvet was proof of that. I want to thank Dr. Miles Latwat and the staff at Vernon Veterinary Clinic for their loving care of Dommy over the past 11 years. I want to thank all of those who have offered support in the last two weeks: from flowers and chocolates to homemade soup to lovely cards, it has all meant so much. A gesture as simple as a hug or an “I’m sorry” goes a long way towards easing some of the pain. To those who have let me talk about Dom and share my grief, you know who you are and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. And to you, Dommy, from the first time we saw you at the SPCA, at just nine weeks old, we knew you were special. You will be missed, always loved and never forgotten; your paw prints are on our hearts forever.
They call it Funtastic for a reason – it’s the most fun you can have with your cleats on. Today marks the start of a 30-year-old tradition in Vernon, the Save-On-Foods Funtastic Slo-Pitch Tournament and A&W Music Festival. It was 1984, when Okanagan Spring Brewery was born as well and coincidently 55 teams played the first ever Funtastic Slo-Pitch Tournament and $610 was raised for Special Olympics under the guidance of John Topping. Now, 30 years later, the tournament sells out at capacity of 216 teams and more than $1.5 million has been raised for our communities. So while those swinging bats or rocking it up at the DND grounds (upwards of 16,000 pass through the gates over the weekend) might only think of this as a two-day funfilled weekend, the reality is Funtastic’s effects are felt all year long. Community and sports groups benefit from grants, recreational opportunities are expanded and the influx in town generates an approximately $4.5 million economic impact. It’s thanks to everyone, from sponsors to teams and music lovers to each of the dedicated volunteers, who make this event such a success. In fact, it is so successful that others are also waving the Funtastic flag. There’s even a Funtastic Okee Dokee Slo-Pitch Tournament in Port Alberni which marks its 26th year this weekend. In fact, AC/DC cover band Who Made Who is playing there Sunday, after they entertain the crowds in Vernon Saturday. And with players coming from as far as Alberta, Saskatchewan and even New Mexico, you could say that Funtastic has a nation-wide impact. It is, after all, the largest slo-pitch tournament and music festival in the country.

from the Aberdeen Plateau lakes. These lakes draw from an abundant supply of water from a neighboring water shed. The quality of this water is yellow and full of organics. Many will remember the yellow VID water we had prior to October 2010 when the Duteau plant first opened. We have come a long way since then, but it comes at a cost. Because most of the water that comes from Duteau was used for irrigation, and irrigation uses a lot of water at summer peak, we had to build a huge treatment plant to handle the peak demand, and treat all the water (irrigation and domestic water in the same pipes). To illustrate the insanity, in the summer of 2011, we treated 160 mega litres of water per day at the Duteau plant (that is the equivalent of 64 Olympic-size pools, per day).
CBC RoCks If R.L. Shunter wont watch or listen to any taxpayer supported television or radio with a "left-wing political agenda" and "multi-cultural hogwash," one wonders what kind of right-wing ethnocentric dreck he or she enjoys? With very few exceptions, programming on commercial radio and TV is nothing more than bubble gum for the mind. Thank goodness for PBS and B.C.'s Knowledge Network, for National Public Radio, in the States and CBC Radio in Canada.

Blue Boxes I was very interested in the column by Pat Black regarding the introduction of a blue box recycling system here in Vernon. There is no doubt in my mind that boxes without lids and loosely filled with paper will result in paper all over the place at the mere suggestion of wind. Obviously the contractor who won the bid did so because he provided the best (cheapest) price to do the job. No wonder. The boxes are cheaper to buy if they don't supply lids. Tim Riordon
Water plan raises questions
am writing in response to your article, “No peer review for water plan” in The Morning Star. In my opinion, this is a very bad decision taken by the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee. I understand that the politicians feel powerless to challenge a plan that has been put forward by technical experts. But in my opinion, this plan is flawed and should be challenged. Most people just want to know if is there going to be fresh, clean, safe drinking water when they turn on the tap, and how much will they pay for it. As one reporter put it to me, "Just cut to the chase, how much is the new water rate?” Well, after having watched the process for five years, and water rates climb every year, while domestic consumption goes down, and the water utility is left with a shortfall in revenue, I have started to think that this is the definition of insanity. We do the same thing over and over and expect a different result. To have some influence on the cost of water, we have to start paying attention to what is in the plan. If we proceed with the master water plan option that has been approved by GVAC, then we will need to borrow $70 million dollars to pay for the projects in phase one of the plan. In phase one, we will immediately start with plans to build a huge capacity (110 mega litres per day) filtration plant at Duteau Creek. It will cost $26.5 million to build this filtration plant. The Duteau plant treats water

❙
By contrast, in the winter of 2011 when there was no irrigation, we treated six mega litres per day (that is the equivalent of 2.4 Olympic-size pools). That means that 96 per cent of water went for irrigation. Even with some expensive pipe separation, this plan will have us using the majority of the water we filter for irrigation of fields. This is wrong. Also by building the filtration plant at Duteau as a first step, we are again building a huge, expensive, over-capacity plant, while Kal Lake water remains, the cheaper to clean, more desirable source of domestic drinking water. Kal Lake water is cheaper to filter because it is cleaner to begin with, so if that continues to be the IHA requirement, and we cannot get around it, then filter Kal first. Some Coldstream politicians have

asked for a third-party peer review. Since this review is not forthcoming, and a borrowing referendum has been approved by GVAC, I feel that the public will want, and need, many questions answered to help make up their minds. My questions to the technical experts at the Regional District of North Okanagan are: 1) Given that the water from Duteau Creek is much more expensive to treat than the Kal Lake water (about four times as expensive in the winter), and given that most of the water from the Duteau source is needed and used for agricultural irrigation, why does phase 1 of the new 2012 master water plan call for the planning and building of a huge capacity, filtration plant at Duteau prior to doing filtration at Kalamalka Lake, when Kalamalka Lake supplies 80 per cent of the domestic water supply for Greater Vernon? 2) Could you please explain, and quantify the magnitude of the direct effect on residential, industrial, institutional, commercial and agricultural water rates if the relative distribution of expenses between the types of customers remains the same as it is now, and we incur the costs projected in the master water plan that has been approved by the politicians? 3) Could you please clearly review, for the public, the time line and expenditures that have been proposed in phase one of the 2012 MWP, for which they are being asked to endorse the borrowing referendum of $70 million dollars?

We have both of these spiders in this valley but was told it is rare that anyone gets bitten. I was the unfortunate one. I am warning all parents to watch their children when playing outside. I would not like to see a child bitten by these spiders because the pain is intolerable at times. eileen Wejr

Jesse Crowe admires a Myles Johnson putt on the first hole during the Golfathon for ALS Tuesday afternoon at Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club.
Marathon round for ALS Kevin Mitchell Sports Editor
They teed up at 4:10 Tuesday morning and drained their final putts just before sundown almost 17 hours later. Golf pro buddies Myles Johnson and Jesse Crowe cruised around the Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club course 11 times and played two bonus holes to reach 200. The duo combined for 74 birdies and a pair of eagles as they golfed to raise awareness and funds to find a cure for ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). The PGA of BC and its members donate their time and bodies to this cause annually. “Myles was super hot on his home track, shooting low rounds of 64 and 65, twice, to finish 28-under par for the 11 rounds,” said the 34-yearold Crowe, head teaching pro at Salmon Arm Golf &CC. “I usually outdrive Myles by 20, 30 yards, but by the eighth round, I was pretty worn out and he just kept crushing his tee shots past mine. He shot 65 in the ninth round. He’s in fantastic shape. This is an amazing event and even though my back feels like mush, it is nothing compared to what people living with ALS have to deal with every day.” Johnson, 32, registered the eagles, on the 11th hole in the final round, and on No. 5 in the third round. He made 20-foot putts for both eagles. “I spent about 20 minutes with one of those foam rollers downstairs when I got home and then
I did 45 minutes of stretching at the gym this morning,” said Johnson. “I looked like an old man doing my stretching.” Johnson and Crowe each rode in their own power cart and had a handful of caddies, including Spallumcheen men’s club champion and pro shop attendant Jarrett McNeal. “It was men’s night and I started with two pledge sheets and they had to photocopy them four or five times,” said Johnson. “We got big support from those members and the guys were putting down money for their wives as well.” The pair showed up in the dark and once Johnson took off his rain pants, noticed they had on identical blue shorts. “I laughed and said, ‘I’m glad you got the memo,’” said Johnson. The BCPGA expects to surpass $1 million mark in their ninth year of playing for ALS. Johnson pulled in $2,500 in pledges, while Crowe brought in $1,000 before attending men’s night Wednesday in Salmon Arm. “The members and staff at Spallumcheen were amazing in helping us go around and around,” added Crowe. “A huge thanks goes out to everyone who donated at Spallumcheen and the SalmonArm Golf and Country Club as well as everyone who donated on line at golfathonforals.ca. I can’t wait to do it again next year but maybe after a few sleeps and some ice.”

And the trike came back. There’s a lot of smiles at the Kindale Developmental Association after the second of two stolen three-wheel bicycles was returned. “Adam Lord, one of the Kindale individuals, is so happy the trikes are back because Adam loves riding independently,” said Cindy Masters, Kindale development officer. The two trikes were stolen from the Seaton Centre on Polson Drive. One was located in Polson Park and returned in late May after an article appeared in The Morning Star. The second one was also found within the park. It was important for the agency to recover the bicycles because they are used constantly by Vernon residents with developmental disabilities.

Cycle and the people who found the trikes and returned them to Kindale,” said Masters.
Teacher pickets will target locations where summer school is being carried out if they don’t have a settlement of their strike by June 30. B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker announced that decision as he prepared for the first meeting with B.C. Public School Employers’ Association since a full-scale strike began June 17. The meeting has been characterized as “exploratory talks” dealing with possible mediation. BCPSEA has applied to the Labour Relations Board for summer school offerings to be declared essential services, if they are “secondary remedial programs provided to students who have failed a secondary level course.” Summer programs for elementary school students, international students or secondary students trying to improve a passing grade would not be
protected by an LRB order, meaning the majority of summer programs wouldn’t go ahead. Iker said the union is also considering the plight of B.C.’s five modified calendar schools, which have three month-long breaks instead of the traditional summer vacation. They are in the middle of their final threemonth term and are facing more disruption than other schools. BCPSEA has also applied for essential service protection so they can resume operation. Iker said if there is no deal by June 30, BCTF negotiators would be available to continue talks, rather than take the summer off as they have done in previous disputes. The two sides remain far apart on wages and benefits, with a long-running dispute over class size and special needs support levels going back to court this fall.

An Enderby event is being organized to support the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nations in Alberta and their concerns about oil sand development. The North Okanagan-Shuswap Healing Walk will happen Sunday at 11 a.m. in the traditional territory of the Splatsin First Nation. “Chief Wayne Christian has generously offered to greet the walkers and sing a song of welcome before we begin our brief, but significant healing walk,” said organizer Jacqui Gingras. “Sunday’s walk is not organized as a protest. It is
a time for healing, reflection, and for some, prayer, in solidarity with the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nations. It is non-denominational and non-partisan. Local faith groups and government officials have also been invited.” Participants will walk for two kilometres along Back Enderby Road. “We will give our minds’ and hearts’ attention to the effects of unmitigated resource extraction on the earth and on the people that rely on the earth; all of us. And to also consider solutions moving forward,” said Gingras.

Road checks begin roger knox Morning Star Staff
The kickoff to summer comes with an RCMP presence on area roadways. Vernon-North Okanagan officers will be out as part of a national impaired driving day campaign today. “Our officers will be doing road checks and there could be some small road blocks set up,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “This is a Canada-wide campaign. As you know, there’s a good chance of finding impaired drivers over the summer as there is at Christmas, if not more so.” Molendyk said officers will be patrolling throughout the North Okanagan.

that if trustees were having to travel farther to cover their specific
areas, they might not be able to keep up with their original commu-

communities losing their voice if trustees were lost.
Help Prevent Heart Attacks with Vitamin C and Lysine Powder W. Gifford-Jones, MD
W
hy is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack. Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.
I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent. But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies. The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day. This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors. As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine! I turned 90 this year.
Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries. Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal. I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.

Silver Star Mountain Resort’s bike park is now open for the season. “Our trails are in prime condition and in fact, they are the best they have ever been for an opening,” said Cameron Sorensen, park manager. For the first time, riders will experience 5.1 kilometres of Silver Star’s newest crosscountry trail network. For beginners, the new Explorer Loop adds an additional 500 metres of cross-country to the already existing Mountain View and Sidewinder trails, while for intermediate riders, the new Silver Shack and Chakra add an additional 4.6 kilometres to the park. Additional new cross-country and downhill trails will open throughout the summer. As the B.C. Cup has been sanctioned as a Northwest Cup race, riders from Washington will be able to earn points toward the overall NW Cup title. Competitors must visit www.ccnbikes.com to register. This year the Silver Style Jump Jam will feature a Freeride Mountain Bike Association bronzesanctioned event from July 11 to 13. On August 16, Silver Star is launching its first Norco Burney Ridge Enduro. The three-stage endurance race will appeal to recreational riders with racing streaks and involves timed downhills. “Silver Star has a long history of hosting top-level races and we’re thrilled to be offering so many new events this year,” said Ian Galbraith, summer business manager at Silver Star.

Cheerleading used to be short skirts, pom poms and mega phones on the sideline of a football game. But as Clarence Fulton’s cheer team head coach Fallon Larter explains, “We’ve come a long way.” “Now cheerleading is a two-minute-and-30-second routine jam packed with dancing, jumping, tumbling and bodies flying through the air. The cute uniforms, big hair and glitter are just a bonus,” she said. This year proved to be a great year for Vernon’s only cheer team at Fulton. Travelling to Vancouver for the Sea to Sky International Cheerleading Championships in April, it placed third. The team also took the same position on the podium at the Okanagan Cheerleading championships in Kelowna May 3. Up until now, Fulton students have been the only ones introduced to the sport. But that is all changing starting in September with Vernon’s own All Star competitive cheerleading program. No experience is necessary in the program, which is open to athletes ages five to 18, who will travel to competitions across B.C. Those interested in trying out the sport can check out the summer cheerleading camp at Fulton July 21 to 25. “People always say, ‘cheerleading isn’t a sport, cheerleaders aren’t athletes,’ but what I don’t understand is, why,” said Larter. Just like any other sport, the team puts its all into the sport, practicing two to three hours a day, four times a week from September to June. “It isn’t easy. It’s blood sweat and tears, it’s getting kicked/punched in the face while your lifting and throwing another person above your head and coming back the next day, doing it over and over just to see your stunt finally hit,” said Larter. While that might not seem worth it for just two-and-a-half minutes, cheerleaders are dedicated athletes. “Not only is cheerleading a great form of physical activity, it’s also a great way for kids to learn leardership and how to work as a team,” said Larter, as there is no star athlete – everyone is a valuable player. “Yeah sure, maybe everyone is looking at the girl being lifted and thrown around in the air, but she wouldn’t be in the air if it weren’t for the three people on the ground with her life in their hands.” For information about the camp or the competitive program, contact head coach Fallon Larter at Vernoncheerleading@hotmail.com or 250-3066279. Registration for the summer camp is due Tuesday, but late registrations will be considered up to July 20.

C HECK I T O UT AT B OOKLAND THE SIGNATURE OF ALL THINGS
Photo Submitted
Vernon Christian School grads Hannah Koens (above left) and Laura Hulstein prepare for a day filled with smiles, while Travis Hoogland (below left) makes a final adjustment for the photo-op with Joel Deines and Danny Chambers at the Vernon Courthouse.
In The Signature of All Things, Elizabeth Gilbert returns to fiction, inserting her inimitable voice into an enthralling story of love, adventure and discovery. Spanning much of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the novel follows the fortunes of the extraordinary Whittaker family as led by the enterprising Henry Whittaker. Born in 1800, Henry’s brilliant daughter, Alma (who inherits both her fathers money and his mind), ultimately becomes a botanist of considerable gifts herself. As Almas research takes her deeper into the mysteries of evolution, she falls in love with a man named Ambrose Pike who makes incomparable paintings of orchids and who draws her in the exact opposite direction into the realm of the spiritual, the divine, and the magical. Alma is a clear-minded scientist; Ambrose a utopian artist but what unites this unlikely couple is a desperate need to understand the workings of this world and the mechanisms behind all life.

Residents and visitors are being encouraged to take advantage of the local offleash parks in Greater Vernon. “We have a number of great, fenced, parks where people can have their dogs safely off-leash,” said Tannis Nelson, community development co-ordinator with the Regional District of North Okanagan. In mixed-use parks that permit dogs, such as Marshall Field, dog owners are being asked to keep their dogs onleash. “It is about ensuring the safety of all users, while balancing the recreational needs of the community,” said Nelson. The public is being reminded that removal or vandalism of park signs will not be tolerated and violators will be charged.

H&R girls freeze Voltage for Cup Morning Star Staff
Captains exchanged boxes of Tim Bits before the Under 18 girls Vernon Cup final Sunday at Marshall Field. The fine show of soccer sportsmanship turned into a fun-filled, one-sided water balloon battle afterwards. The teams posed for a group photo before leaving the park with medals. It was youth soccer at its finest with the H&R Block Orange Creamsicles brushing back the Nixon Wenger Voltage 2-0 for the gold. Hana Ogasawara scored for H&R Block midway through the first half, while Gabby Edblad added another before the end of the half. Rick Ogasawara coached the champions. The Voltage, who came prepared with water balloons on a scorching day, responded hard in the second half but couldn’t capitalize on their chances. Paige Hason and Jenica Camalush led the Voltage in scoring in seasonal play, and Taylor Gray was awarded team MVP. Dave Bootsma coached the Voltage. Subway Green, coached by Erica August and Sheldon Aldrich, took bronze medals. The Greens had an excellent tournament after a fifth-place ranking. They lost 1-0 to H&R Block in a shootout, and shut down Caufield Engraving 2-0. Amy Parsons scored on a high shot for the winner versus Caufield, while Marissa Aldrich added insurance after fighting hard in the six-yard box. “Our defensive line of Desiree Gosselin, Faren Gosselin, Michelle Ockert, Halle August, Milana Ivanoff and Hana Whibley was solid all weekend,” said coach August. “Once again, midfielders Cailin Correia and Danielle Butler were outstanding with footwork and passing. Wingers Sierra Benner, Ania Splawinski, Alicia Hill-Turner, Anna Cherkowski, Ella Kerr and Kyla Perry hustled hard on offence and defence and Darian Newman had some super saves.” The U14/15 Subway Red Bulls went undefeated to claim gold, opening with a 2-1 win over Navy. The Red Bulls, coached by Leon Medema and Blaine Martian, showed incredible defence and got goals from Brianna Falk and Saylor Martian. Kaitlyn Morgan in net, and Ellen Megaw, Clare Schmidt, Katya Viskari and Samantha Myers anchoring the back line, shut down Navy for most of the game. Martian put the Bulls ahead to stay on a solid outside run.
The Red Bulls went on to defeat White, Orange and Gold by identical 4-1 scores. “We were really proud of the team effort, passing and defensive play,” said coach Medema. “Clare Thiessen, Talia Matties, Sarah Mugridge and Ava Cornell were all excellent at midfield and Anika Haberstock ran miles at striker. Special mention goes to Sammie Scully for leading the team in scoring for the final four matches, always a danger to score from the striker position. Unfortunately, Piper MacWilliams and Emily Medema were unable to attend the last games due to sickness.” Team Orange, coached by Terry Petersen, took the silver. Mike Bertram’s Navy bagged bronze. The White Knights turned a fourth-place regular season into Cup gold with three wins last weekend. Central midfielder Yididiya Bunn scored twice and set up Kyle Karens for a header goal just 90 seconds in as the Knights grounded the surprising Team Green 5-0 Sunday morning at Marshall #2.

Bennet brings back Epee gold Morning Star Staff
The School District No. 22 Fencing Team and Okanagan Freestyle Fencing clubs competed at the B.C. Championships at the Olympic Oval in Richmond with several positive results. Jake Bennet of Beairsto Elementary won the only gold medalist as he down Adam Wong of the Meadowridge Fencing Club 5-4 and 5-0 in the bestof-three fight finals in Y10 Mixed Gender Epee event Sunday morning. Chris Dhlouey of Kal Secondary obtained his first provincial medal for OFF by winning bronze in the Y14 Men’s Epee event Saturday. District No. 22 head coach Brendan Robertson won the bronze medal in the Veteran Men’s Epee event Friday and placed 11th Saturday. Robertson teamed up with OFF coach Matt Clarke, who placed 16th in the open Men’s Epee category Saturday, and combined with Chad Linton of Vancouver to win bronze in the team event later Saturday.
Miguel Lefevre placed fifth and Andrew Schmidt finished ninth in the Y12 Mixed Gender Epee event. They were the highest ranked local fencers. First time fencers Jack Cotter and Ayano Robertson of Beairsto placed 11th and 15th respectively in the Y12 Mixed Gender Epee event. David Enns of Kal finished sixth at the Cadet Nationals a few weeks ago, but was stricken with a cold and finished 10th in Cadet Men’s Epee (17 and under) and sixth in the Junior (20 and under). “It was a great day for both fencing clubs as well as for fencing in B.C. The quality of fencing has risen substantially in the past few years with our own clubs and others such as Dynamo in Richmond and the Sunshine Coast Fencing Team in Roberts Creek leading the way,” said Robertson. Interested students can contact Robertson at 250-549-4411 and www. okanaganfreestlyefencing.com for more information on the two programs.

Tigers torch Flames Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Source for Sports Tigers are rolling like a big shot as they burned the South Okanagan Flames 11-5 for their eighth straight Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League Tuesday night in Penticton. This was the tea and crumpets match of the season, as the two teams combined for six penalty minutes. The Flames (3-10) and Tigers (12-2) are the least penalized teams. “We’re playing a nice game right now. We are improving every time we hit the floor,” said Tigers’ coach Keith Hanna. Ryan Sarazin has been a lightning rod for productivity since returning from Marquette. Sarazin was involved in an early dust up with Kelowna Raiders (2-13) Saturday, but responded with another hatty against the Flames. Quintin Harrish, Jordan Orr and Darrell Landels supplied a pair of snipes each and Jay Seaton added a single. Orr is fourth in league scoring with 20 goals and 48 points with Landels is right behind him with 27 goals and 47 points. “Our guys understand that hard work wins games and they aren’t getting complacent,” said Hanna. Aaron Jensen was back between the woodwork for the Tigers, and made 27 saves adding to his leaguebest 0.895 save percentage. Jensen leads all goalies with eight assists after picking up two more against the Flames. The Flames received a pair of goals from Liam Kircher, while Chris Pond, Connor Walton and Mitch Brodt added singles. The Tigers clinched a playoff spot weeks ago, but remain focused on grabbing the top spot for playoffs. “We are already in provincials, but we want to win our way in,” said Hanna. Things could get interesting for the final playoff spot. The Armstrong Shamrocks (4-9) sit in third and need one win in their remaining three games to clinch. They will battle the Flames twice and the Kelowna Raiders. Playoffs run July 7-27 with provincials to follow at
Kal Tire Place. Former Tiger Brodie MacDonald of the Western Lacrosse League Langley Thunder, is 5-5 with a 0.826 save percentage and a 8.22 goals against average. MacDonald also saw action in 13 regular season and three playoff games with the Edmonton Rush in 2012. He was 8-3-2 for the Thunder in 2013, who were a league-best 11-5-2 overall, with a 7.51 goals against average and an .821 save percentage to win the WLA’s Leo Nicholson Trophy, as the Senior A lacrosse league’s top goaltender. Former Shamrock Brett Hawrys is lighting it up for the Nanaimo Timbermen of the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League. Hawrys leads the T-men with 34 goals and 57 points in 15 games. Last year, Hawrys sniped 46 goals and 75 points in 19 games for the tree cutters.
Rattlers shake Shamrocks
The Kamloops Rattlers stung the visiting Armstrong Shamrocks 10-7 in Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League play Wednesday night at Memorial Arena. The Rocks jumped out to an 5-0 lead in the first 15 minutes, but were outscored 10-2 in the remaining 45. “Kamloops came out with some extra pressure in the second and we didn’t respond. We thought our good first period was going to be enough,” said Shamrocks’ goalie Chad Pieper. Jarrett Medhurst continued his strong play for the Rocks (4-2) with two goals and three assists. Steve Clark delivered two goals, while Carston Schlaak, Tyler Plante and Rob Rintoul supplied singles. The rubber was humming around the arena as Kamloops (2-6) outshot Armstrong 43-42. Mark Jurista led the Kamloops comeback with four goals. Blaine Boomer buried a pair, Russ McIntosh, Liam Hagerty, and J.J. Woldum sniped singles. The Shamrocks battle the Raiders in Kelowna in their regular season finale, Friday July 11. The Raiders (4-2) are tied with the Shamrocks for first. Playoffs run July 14-31.

“Not wanting to miss out on the action, he agreed to try playing in net and played full-time goalie for all three games, and only let in two goals,” said Strilchuk. “By game two, he was even dropkicking the ball with his sore foot and fighting through the pain.” The Gold Rush and silver-medalist Team White, coached by Shane Haner, battled back and forth to a scoreless draw Sunday with Lucas Wood and Tyson Hoyland bold on the Gold back line. In other Sunday play, the Gold Rush shaded the Red Tornadoes 2-1 as Liam (Archie) Cooper supplied both goals. A clearing shot by the Reds bounced in off Cooper’s backside, while the Reds equalized five minutes later. With 10 minutes left in the game, Lucas Wood took a corner and planted the ball right on the foot of Cooper for the winner.
The Gold Rush and Navy drew 1-1 Saturday with Navy scoring in the 40th minute and Tanner Wright equalizing in the final five minutes. In U12 girls play, the Blizzards bagged a 1-1 draw with the Navy. Unrelentless energy from Joelle Smid inspired the Blizzards to push hard, while strikers Jennika Helmle and Savannah Jodoin kepot the keeper active. Midfielders Lauren Rollier and Taija Kronbauer flexed their power with monster kicks to keep the ball in the oppostion end. Lottie Scott took control of the ball down the sideline with authority and pocketed a top-shelf goal. Taylor Holcroft made continuous runs up the right flanks, challenging defenders with her skill and speed. Rachel Richter and Lisa DeBeer were bold on the back line, while Kelsey Watts played high

Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Kal Tire Pee Wee Canadians lost 15-2 to Kamloops Riverdogs in the finals of the spring baseball interlock playoffs at MacArthur Island Park in Kamloops. Chase Batchelor doubled to right field bringing home Ryan Gamage and Brayden Beacom stole home for the C’s in the sweltering heat. Carter Morris (game MVP) made an outstanding diving catch at short stop in the first inning and Mathew Hansen robbed a home run with a catch over the centre field fence. The Canadians rattled Rutland #2 16-2 in the semifinal. Morris pitched five innings with seven Ks allowing two runs. Jack Janzen was MVP, going 2-for2, with two RBI, two stolen bases, two runs scored and a walk. In the third inning, Christopher McIntosh singled with an RBI, while Ryan Vandesande singled to left on a frozen rope to cash in a pair of RBI. Beacom singled up the middle to score a pair, while Vandesande hit a double to centre, scoring two runs. Vernon edged Kelowna 6-4 in the second game of the playoffs. Gamage pitched four innings with six punch outs, while Beacom pitched the final two innings, fanning two. Gamage got it done with the stick too, going 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run. Beacom was MVP as he went

The Okanagan Season Sistas tied the Controllers 3-3 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division play Tuesday night at Marshall Field #5. It was the Andrea Zubot show as she pulled the hat trick for the Sistas (4-6-1). Susan August’s nice through ball set her up for the first one. Zubot lobbed a ball from 35 yards for the second and finished off the hat trick on a penalty kick. Down by two, the Controllers’ Leah Mulvihill rang one off the post and in from 15 yards. Jacquie Nuyens buried a penalty kick after a hand ball to bring the Controllers (5-4-2) within one at half. Michelle Mercer tied the game in the second half on another penalty kick. “We were not prepared to play from the start,” said Controllers’ coach Doug Macdonald. “They worked hard, we came back and both teams earned the draw.”
Bantam C’s sweep weekend bill
The Vernon Tim Hortons Bantam AA Canadians rattled off four road wins to finish their spring baseball season at a smoldering 16-4. The Canadians canned the host West Kelowna Diamondbacks 9-8 Sunday.

In game two, the C’s torched the Dbacks 20-7 as Dax Defelice, Doyle, Ethan Huizinga and Dawson Chase smacked three hits each, while Soucey and Leroux had two apiece. The C’s clipped the host Kamloops Riverdogs 6-5 Saturday. Ace Nathan Nesbitt yielded three hits and two runs. Vernon scored three in the top of the seventh as Doyle, Landon Currie and Chase all had two hits. The C’s downed the Riverdogs 9-1 in the nightcap. Corey Anderson was 2-for-3 at the dish.

Turn-Key Controls mauled Monashee Surveying 5-2 in North Okanagan Soccer League action Wednesday night at Marshall Field #5. Total Restoration Man of the Match Conan Ackert fed an early cross to Preston Tucker at the top of the 18. Tucker touched it forward and then was taken out from the side by a defender resulting in a penalty kick which Tucker bombed low. Moments later, Turn-Key (7-1-1) took possession in the back, played the ball up right wing to Ackert, who played a perfect ball onto the foot of a wide open Nathan Tucker, who went low corner. Jeremy Kler held a MFC defender on his own goal line which allowed Nathan Tucker to sweep in and dribble into the penalty area where he was taken down. Jai Gosia nicely converted the PK. Nathan Whitling recorded MFC’s first goal early in the second half. Reid Foerter of Turn-Key moved up to midfield for the second half, and with a run down the side, beat the defenders, got into the box and beat the keeper short side. Cam Cleary nailed a corker for Monashee’s final goal before Gosia poked the ball to Nathan Tucker who connected on a breakaway. North Enderby Timber held on to third place behind Turn-Key by stopping Eagle Homes of Salmon Arm 3-1 at Marshall #2. NET newbie Finlay McPhie, who just signed with the Thompson Rivers WolfPack, opened the scoring in the ninth minute by burying a Dexter James cross from the wing, followed six minutes later by a Brent Poulsen beauty as he beat a defender and curled one in from the top of the 18. Speedster Mike Bennet buried a Poulsen rebound bar down at 80 minutes. Simplyfrugal.ca Man of the Match went to McPhie at the back.
The Chick Kickers smoked the Vernon Square Liquor Store VQA 8-0 at Marshall Field #1. Michelle Johnson was all over the pitch in the first half, scoring three and assisting on two. Johnson caught the keeper out of position on her first goal which was a bomb from 40 yards. Wendy Magnus started up front for the first time for the Kickers (9-1-1) and scored two goals. Jen Garnett and Mel Jacobs added dueces and Colleen Johnson scored a laser from 18 yards. Crystal Bergman recorded her fifth shutout of the season. VQA dropped to 3-7-1.
Dr. Lee pumps Kaos
Dr. Lee/Squires Four Pub waxed The Salmon Arm Kaos 8-0 in Salmon Arm. Jacquie Hansen’ hat trick and Dana Reid’s pair lifted Dr. Lee (9-0-1) to their fourth straight win. Hansen got the floss crew on the board with a nice give-and-go down the wing with Deanna Baker. Hansen then set up Reid for her first of two in the first half. Hansen completed the hatty on a breakaway from a lob pass from defender Cindy Worth. Lori Shippy bagged a pair of snipes in the second half from Irene Arrotta’s corner and Jill Rintoul’s cross in the six-yard box. Worth set up Baker on a breakaway to cap the evening, as Lisa Arrotta recorded her ninth shutout. The Kaos fell to 2-8-1.

Armstrong set to host annual 4-H show and sale Morning Star Staff
The 34th annual Okanagan 4-H Stock Show and Sale runs from July 7 to 12 at the Armstrong fairgrounds. About 40 4-H beef club members and 90 horse club members from throughout central B.C. will participate in the event. “The beef division begins their busy schedule July 10 with the challenging showing and fitting competitions starting at 9 a.m.,” said Fiawna Ladd, show chairperson. “Members compete in the junior, intermediate or senior division, with the top winners in each vying for the grand champion showman.” Members of 4-H will also demonstrate their knowledge and skills in preparing their projects in the show ring with the fitting class. At 1:30 p.m., beef members put their evaluation skills to the test, as they compete in the judging competition. The opening ceremony starts at 7 p.m. July 10 in the beef show ring. On July 11 at 9 a.m., classes start with the fed calf weight classes followed by the group competitions. “Each 4-H club presents their projects in groups such as their top three steers, etc.,” said Ladd. “They are judged on the group’s uniformity, and presentation. The final selection of the grand and reserve champion steer of show will be chosen. After lunch, the female classes get under way, starting with the yearling heifer classes, cow/calf classes and the group competition for heifers.” The competition finishes as the top two from each of the heifer and cow/calf classes come back for the selection of the grand champion female of show. The day winds up with an enjoyable banquet, awards presentation and dance. “Don’t forget to stop by the horticulture building to view the educational display competition,” said Ladd. “You’ll be impressed by these interesting and
educational displays and all of the hard work the 4-H members have put
into them.” The show concludes July 12 with the 4-H
Parade of Champions and the sale of the prime grain fed 4-H beef at 10
a.m. “We welcome everyone to stop by the fair-
grounds to watch the show, talk to the kids, and learn what 4-H is all
about,” said Ladd. For information, contact 250-547-8843.

NOTICE TO ELECTORS WITHIN THE REGIONAL DISTRICT OF NORTH OKANAGAN Alternative Approval Process for the Proposed Greater Vernon Recreation and Programming Grant Service Establishment NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN pursuant to Section 86 of the Community Charter, that the Board of Directors of the Regional District of North Okanagan (the “Regional District”) seek the approval of the electors within the District of Coldstream and Electoral Areas “B” and “C” for the adoption of the Greater Vernon Recreation and Programming Grant Service Establishment Bylaw No. 2597, 2013. The general intent of this proposed bylaw is to establish a grant service for recreation services and programming within the Greater Vernon area of the Regional District of North Okanagan. The alternative approval process applies to qualified electors within the following areas within the Regional District: • District of Coldstream • Electoral Areas “B” and “C” The proposed bylaw authorizes the recovery of funds from the service area for the annual costs of the proposed service. It is anticipated that the funds will be recovered by any combination of the following: (1) requisition of money under Sections 805 [Requisition of funds from municipalities] and 806 [Requisition of funds for electoral areas] of the Local Government Act to be collected by a property value tax to be levied on improvements only and collected under Section 805.1 [Collection in municipalities] and Section 806.1 [Collection in electoral areas] of the said Act; ; (2) fees and charges imposed under Section 363 [Imposition of fees and other charges] of the Local Government Act; and (3) revenues received by way of agreement, enterprise, gift, grant or otherwise. The maximum amount that may be requisitioned annually for the service shall not exceed One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,250,000.00) or $ 0.36 per $1,000.00 of the net taxable value of land and improvements in the service area, whichever is greater.

Don’t take chances with your future. Stick firmly to your plans and don’t be distracted by risky or uncertain developments. There may be some rough patches, but you will overcome them if you stay focused and determined. Success is within reach if you persevere.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Your unusual, whimsical attitude will draw people to your side. Take this opportunity to share your ideas and drum up the support you need to follow through with your plans.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Don’t behave emotionally or overreact if you want to avoid discord. Feelings will be hurt if you don’t think before you act. Be mindful of others, and you will get the same in return.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your tendency to talk will take over today. Resist the urge to blurt out whatever is on your mind. You will get into hot water if you don’t think before you speak.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Take an opportunity to go through your personal papers yet again. The documents you thought were missing will come to light. Financial or legal concerns will proceed favorably today. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Don’t ever be afraid to ask for help. Admitting that there are some things that you can’t handle alone may be difficult, but it is not a sign of weakness. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You can save yourself worry and doubt if you keep your secrets to yourself. If you want to get anything done, you will need to do the work without help from others.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Take any chance you get to help someone who has aided you in the past. Your relationship will become stronger as a result of your kind gesture.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Inspiration will strike if you take part in a cultural or artistic event. The ideas generated can be applied to a project that currently has you stymied. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If you want to make the most of your life, follow your dreams. You may have several options, so decide what you really want. Welcome change; without it you cannot move ahead.

Bridge by Phillip Alder THE RULES ARE MADE TO BE FOLLOWED Princess Diana said, “I don’t go by the rule book. I lead from the heart, not the head.” She was taught bridge, but I doubt that she spent much time playing. However, some bridge players go by the rule book, but the better ones use their heads. In today’s deal, what should West lead against four spades doubled? Suppose West chooses the heart three. East takes the trick with his queen, but what should he do next? After East opened one heart, South was tempted to pre-empt in spades, keeping his diamond suit as a secret weapon. However, wondering if his side might
own the deal, he settled for one spade. West had the values for a two-heart raise. North then made a pre-emptive jump to three spades, showing four spades and a weak hand. (With game-invitational or stronger values, he would have cue-bid three hearts.) East bid the game he expected to make. South continued to four spades, unsure who could make what, but confident this contract would not be expensive. East doubled for penalty. It should be clear to West that South is sacrificing. When that is the case at a high level, it is (almost) always right to lead a trump. If West does that, the contract will fail. West will
get back in with a diamond winner and can lead another trump to hold declarer to two ruffs in the dummy and nine tricks in all (six spades, two ruffs and the diamond jack, which can be established). Similarly, if West leads a heart, East should win the trick and shift to a trump.

Local helps rebuild Filipino village Morning Star Staff
Friends of Bret Korberg may remember the Vernon Secondary School class of 2000 grad for his love of the game. And that’s exactly where you’re still likely to find the 31-year-old – on a basketball court. Only the one he spends the majority of his time on now is thousands of miles and an entire ocean away. A love of basketball has become common ground for Korberg and the Philippines, where the Vernon native is currently residing in a humanitarian effort. The strongest typhoon in the world ravaged the Philippines Nov. 8, 2013. Typhoon Yolanda’s damage destroyed homes, infrastructure and lives particularly in the communities of Batug and Sabang on the island of Leyte. Volunteers from all walks of life responded to the call of the Earth Village Project (EVP) to support the community of Batug to become a model of regenerative relief and rehabilitation. When Korberg, former Earthship Academy student, heard that EVP had invited Earthship Biotecture to construct a wind-proof prototype building, he set off on a backpacking adventure to Southeast Asia in January 2014 with plans to join the crew in Batug at the end of February. “ E a r t h s h i p Biotecture is a company constructing radically sustainable buildings using natural and recycled materials,” said

Vernon’s Bret Korberg is helping to rebuild typhoon devastated communities in the Philippines and has started a fundraising initiative to assist the efforts. Korberg of the concept focusing on thermal/ solar heating and cooling, solar and wind electricity, contained sewage treatment, water harvesting, and food production. Batug is where they constructed the world’s first ever aerodynamically designed typhoon proof ‘Windship’. As the build progressed, Korberg made some special connections with the local volunteers he worked along side. With a love for basketball being com-
mon ground between Korberg and the Philippines, local volunteer Pedrito ‘Smiley’ Cinco took Korberg under his wing and invited him to play basketball with his friends one evening after a long day of work. After this day, Korberg’s connection with the village of Batug grew stronger by the day. In the weeks that
followed the Windship build, Korberg decided to stay in Batug and started a fundraising campaign to fund basketball activities and the building of new homes with the intention of reviving and healing the community. “Being invited to some of the damaged homes and listening to their experiences during Yolanda, I was deeply saddened and sparked with a desire to help beyond the Windship,” said Korberg. Because half of the basketball court was being used as a temporary meeting space, Korberg sought the aid of EVP and was successfully able to negotiate full court use. Thus began the revival of the Batug basketball league which became the centre of daily community activity and encouraged local economic gain through food vending. Since then, Korberg has supported EVP initiatives in the community and has become a leader of natural building techniques in the form of mud cob housing. Low-cost and lowtech, these mud homes are alternatives to popular building methods because nature based resources are readily available within arms reach. He has also initiated a fundraiser to complete nine mud house

Lisa Nicole has a work ethic that keeps her riding on into new and familiar territory Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Like a particular platinum tough-as-her-boots Nashville star who has been cussin’ and swillin’ her way to country music notoriety as of late (see the review on page B3 for a hint), B.C. artist Lisa Nicole runs her own show, her way. Growing up in the rough and tumble Kootenays, the Castlegar native is just as comfortable singing and playing her guitar in an intimate, acoustic show, as she will when she stops by Vernon’s Gallery Vertigo Sunday, as she is belting out a rockin’ tune in some country and western bar up in the Cariboo. She books all her own gigs, does all the promotion and marketing, writes her own songs, and can pull up her own bootstraps, thank you very much. “I’ve always known what I wanted to do was music,” said Lisa Nicole (born Lisa Nicole Kienas) on the phone from Quesnel, a stop on her current western Canada tour that heads up to Dawson Creek then into Alberta before returning south back through B.C. This tour is one of many Lisa Nicole and her longtime touring partner, guitarist Jason Thomas, have done around the province. Last fall, the duo headed across the country, playing 25 shows and more than 20 radio stations, starting with a showcase at the Canadian Country Music Awards in Edmonton. “I love the adventure of going to new cities, finding my way, and finding new gyms, wherever we go,” said the artist who likes to keep fit. “I have an extra day here in Quesnel so I’ve been walking around and promoting the show here to everyone I meet.” Lisa Nicole’s love of the western frontier is also evident in her latest video, for the title track off her 2013 EP, It Got Ugly. In it, she plays a sassy saloon girl and an outlaw in a shoot out with a bunch of cowboys and can also be seen riding a galloping horse. “We shot it in Langley. It has horses and guns and has a real western theme,” said Lisa Nicole. “I grew up with a mostly

I’ve been hunting since I was four and love horseback riding... If I wasn’t a singer, I’d love to be in a rodeo. I know I’m not good enough as I’ve had no time to practise. It’s a whole other career.” Lisa Nicole’s entry into the music business was not your A-typical turn.

At the age of nine, she made her musical debut at a neighborhood pub for her friends and family, and started playing bars when she was only 15. “I met Jason around then and we started playing bars three times a week. I had to be escorted on and off the stage,” she said, adding, “Jason and I balance each other really well and I think that’s why our friendship and working relationship has lasted all these years.” The adventure didn’t stop when Lisa Nicole graduated from high school. When she was 17, she visited the Central American country of Honduras through her town’s Rotary Club, which also sponsored her trip to Bolivia in South America two years later. “I had to fundraise money to go on each trip so we could carry in suitcases full of medical supplies and clothes. We stayed in orphanages and planted herb gardens,” she said. “I wish we could do it again. I loved it. It was a whole different culture. We saw people living in cardboard houses.” After returning, she attended the two-year music program at Nelson’s Selkirk College, then moved to Vancouver to pursue her career. However, Vancouver is a long way from Nashville when it comes to making it as a country artist. “As an independent artist, it’s pretty tough to crack into the big radio stations. It’s a Catch 22 business. Major radio station don’t add you if you’re not on a major label. In the long run, it comes down to the song.” With the success of It Got Ugly, which was recorded in Nashville and won Best Album and Roots Country Folk Album of the Year at the Kootenay Music Awards, Lisa Nicole hopes industry types will start paying more attention. “I love Nashville and I’m hoping to go back soon. We are scoping who to record with next,” she said. “I’ve been working my butt off managing myself. I’m at the point where I’m looking for people to team up with for the next project and record. I hope the hard work pays off.” Lisa Nicole, with Jason Thomas, performs at Gallery Vertigo, #1-3001 31st St. (upstairs), Sunday at 6 p.m. Opening is fellow country artist Cynthia Leigh-Ann. Admission is $10 (suggested donation.)
Cowboys share tales of the Old West at O’Keefe Ranch Morning Star Staff
For years now, local musician and artist Rob Dinwoodie has endeavoured to share the history of this area through the eye of the cowboy. His summer-long Cowboy Dinner Show at Historic O’Keefe Ranch has been enjoyed by thousands from around the world. “Whether you’re a faithful returning fan or a tourist seeking a fun-filled event to share with friends this is an evening you don’t want to miss,” said Dinwoodie. “A dinner show requires a story to tell and what better story than that of our very own O’Keefe Ranch.” The gold rush of 1858 brought throngs of gold seekers from all over the world to B.C. One such optimist was Cornelius O’Keefe,

Ken Mather, Rob Dinwoodie, Dixon Zalit and Kevin Bader gather around the campfire at O’Keefe Ranch. whose story will be told in a unique and memorable way by local playwright and
radio personality Jason Armstrong. “We’ve developed a very interactive show that satisfies all the senses, fom a delicious cowboy feast presented by Cattlemen’s Club Restaurant, to story, song and poetry shared over a crackling campfire,” said Dinwoodie. Guests will have the opportunity to ride the very B.X. Express stagecoach that once transported miners into the Cariboo gold fields as well as try their hand at lasso throwing using authentic cowboy lassos. Those with a flair for performing will learn the fine art of cowboy yodeling. Historian, author and cowboy poet Ken Mather is also returning to share legend and lore with the audience in a creative and memorable way, bringing his depth of
knowledge of the Valley and its history to the stage. Kevin Bader and Dixon Zalit add an energetic musical component to this year’s show, playing, as Dinwoodie puts it, “anything that has strings on it!” “The Cowboy Dinner Show has become a must-see event for visitors to British Columbia,” added Dinwoodie. “It is so rewarding for us to hear how the evening becomes a piece of the memories taken from our beautiful Okanagan Valley”. The Cowboy Dinner Show runs every Friday night at the Historic O’Keefe Ranch for the months of July and August. Tickets are by reservation only at (250) 542-7868 or www. okeeferanch.com.

Sequel beats a dead joke

umbling cops Jenko (Channing Tatum) and Schmidt (Jonah Hill) are going to college, under the guise of students, once again to bring down drug dealers. We say, “It’s more of the same, to the point of Taylor and Howe self-referential exploitation.” TAYLOR: The gang is back, all except the characters who died in 21 Jump Street. So you can expect to see Rob Riggle as the jailed drug dealing teacher from the previous film, Dave Franco as his cell mate, Ice Cube as the angry captain, and even an old original, Richard Grieco in a small cameo. You can also expect to see the same movie, with the same plot, the same investigation, even the same outcome. In fact, even from the trailer, audiences are told, via the chief of police berating his two goofiest officers: “Nobody expected

Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum reprise their roles as Schmidt and Jenko in 22 Jump Street. you two to succeed the first time out, but you got lucky. So now we’re throwing twice as much money into the program with the bosses expecting twice the payout.” (I’m paraphrasing.) This self-referential joke continues on, way too long, into the movie. Captain Dickson, half way through the film, says: “We’ve spent too much money already. I’m wearing $800 shoes, you can’t even see them! Stop destroying things, we can’t afford it.” After that, during the chase scene where Jenko and Schmidt are trying to escape the baddies
in a football helmet go-cart, they try to avoid crashing into things, but end up driving through art exhibits and the like. The joke was funny once, but as a running gag it falls a little flat. Thus, what we have here is a film that was better the first time. HOWE: I would have to say about 25 per cent of this was as funny as the first installment. I didn’t care for the rest of it. The captain being so angry smashing up the place was just so immature and childlike that it spoiled the film for me. Yes, make him an angry person
if that is what the story asks for, but to make him act as a spoiled brat – terrible. Other than that, the film just seemed to plod along nicely, throwing the odd gag in here or there. The brotherly love triangle between Jenko, Schmidt and Zook (Wyatt Russell) was a nice touch. It made me smile on more than one occasion how it went from togetherness, to splitting up, to hurting, and so on. TAYLOR: We saw the film with a respectable number of teenage butts in seats, yet, despite not having my laugh-ometre with me, I’m pretty sure there was a lot more laughter during 21 Jump Street. I think the film will make its money back and then some, but I don’t think there will be 23 Jump Street because Jonah Hill’s talents deserve better than this and Channing Tatum, well... I just don’t know about Tatum. His skills as an actor remain to be seen. – Taylor gives 22 Jump Street 2.5 Whyphy doses out of 5. – Howe gives it 2.5 goalposts out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Miranda lambert: Platinum
inger/songwriter Miranda Lambert’s fifth album, Platinum, is heavy on good-time country rock and sassy lyrics. Lambert’s songs are tasteful snippets of energetic bar rock full of redneck chic. The first contender for singe status, Automatic, is commercially appealing and serious but lacks the earthy humour and unpredictable arrangement of the other material. She belts like a hillbilly queen on Bathroom

Dean Gordon-Smith
Sink and boasts about her edgy ways on Little Red Wagon. Both songs owe more to guitardriven rock than contemporary country and follow the style Lambert favours in her side band, The Pistol Annies.
Platinum is a loud volume summer party album thanks to Lambert’s rocking songs and declamatory, clearas-a-bell voice. Her image as a naughty girl with fun lovin’ ways is enhanced with kick-ass lyrics that are clever. “What doesn’t kill you only makes you blonder/Something ‘bout platinum irrefutably/Looks as good on records as it does on me (Platinum).” Or as the blunt Old Sh#t puts it rather succinctly: “If it’s out of style, it drives me wild/ I’m a fan of it, old sh#t!”

Somethin’ Bad, a duet with Carrie Underwood, is predictable party girl fare but Lambert and Underwood bring enough energy to elevate the track above its four-on-the-floor anchor. Lambert’s departures from amped up country-rock partyin’ is notable. Her reading of the R&B flavoured Holding On to You highlights her talent for ballads. Smokin’ and Drinkin’ is an oddball track, a
summery meditation on a time honoured pastime that comes across as serious observation, all over a synth and acoustic guitar-driven rhythm that sounds like an escapee from a ‘70s soft rock compilation. It works and stands out strong on an album of good time southern country rock. Platinum puts Miranda Lambert on different territory and moves her position high among rock influenced country singers.

Do the Monster mash The Legendary Lake Monsters are everywhere this week as they hit events around area Morning Star Staff
With the Funtastic Music Festival and Canada Day festivities taking place this week, it’s a busy time for concerts in the North Okanagan and for one band in particular. Not only is Vernon’s The Legendary Lake Monsters playing Funtastic Sunday as well as the evening Canada Day festivities, both at the DND Vernon Army Camp, the R&B group is also headlining Armstrong’s Valley First Music in the Park tonight. The event features a few special additions to help celebrate national Multicultural Day. From 5 to 7 p.m. patrons can enjoy a free swim and games at the Armstrong Aquatic Centre as well as a special performance by Aloha Polyenesian Dance Studio, beginning at 6:30 p.m. on the stage in Memorial Park. Then the fun continues as The Legendary Lake Monsters take the stage at 7 p.m. The brainchild of upright and electric bassist Rod MacDonald, trumpeter/flugelhorn player Al Szeliga, and Craig Carmody, sax and flute, the Legendary Lake Monsters is a high energy band with a horn section that covers a wide range of styles including swing, salsa, Latin, rock, pop and R&B. “We wanted a name that was reflective of the whole Okanagan Valley and the size of the band – something unique and memorable,” said MacDonald. “The legend of the monster in Okanagan Lake predates the arrival of the Europeans in the area and is recognized throughout Canada. And we didn’t want to call ourselves The Ogopogos.” The band chooses songs that use horn arrangements to create a dynamic and lush
sound combined with a definitive groove in the rhythm section, including tunes from artists such as Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Louis Prima, The Mambo Kings, Gloria Estefan, Joe Cocker, Van Morrison, and James Brown, to name a few. “We play music that’s fun for everybody,” said MacDonald. “Our approach to music is collaborative with everyone having input into the songs, the arrangements, the dynamics, etc. It’s important to all of us not to be boxed in by genre, leading to some unlikely tunes.” The remaining band members are Alex Barss, sax, Steve Durant, keyboard and vocals, Paul May, guitar, timbales and vocals, Dave McDonald, trumpet, Brian McMahon, trombone and timbales, Caren Miller, vocals
and percussion, Rennie Sirianni, drums, and Alex Szibbo, sax. “(Tonight) promises to be a night filled with something for everyone,” said Patti Noonan, executive director with the Armstrong Spallumcheen chamber of commerce, which produces Music in the Park. “Music and dancing is encouraged. Bring a blanket, chairs, snacks and beverages – or even your dinner! Relax, enjoy the fresh air and time with family and friends.” Valley First is proud to sponsor the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce Music in the Park series until Aug. 22. The credit union is promoting hunger awareness through its Feed the Valley program and those attending Music in the Park can donate non-perishable food items or make cash donations at the nearest Valley First branch, online through www.valleyfirst.com or through the Food Banks B.C. online donations portal.

Dr. Ryan Kilistoff shares a smile with Ath Ouch, who shows off the new dentures provided to him by the Vernon dentist at no charge.
The gift of a Father’s Day smile Cara Brady
Morning Star Staff
On Ouch knew how hard his father, Ath Ouch, has worked to raise a family of four children and he wanted to give him a special Fathers’ Day present. “My dad was having a lot of pain with his teeth, it was even hard for him to chew his favourite food, rice,” said On. “When he grew up in Cambodia there was no kind of dental care, not even tooth brushes. My dad has always spent everything he earned on his family and sending money back to his father and other family in Cambodia so I knew he’d never spend money to get dentures for himself.” He decided he would pay for the extractions and dentures himself and talked to his friend and dentist, Dr. Ryan Kilistoff, about the procedure. The appointment was arranged and On decided to make a video about his father’s early life in Cambodia where he worked 14 to 15 hours a day in the fields as a slave for the Khmer Rouge. Ath and his family escaped by walking hundreds of miles to a refugee camp in Thailand. The family was able to emigrate to Canada with sponsorship of All Saints Anglican Church in 1989. Ath and his
Ath Ouch gets his new dentures from Dr. Ryan Kilistoff at Courtview Dental. wife, Loeung, were both soon learning English and working hard, Ath at three jobs. Now 58, he works in On’s business, The Rice Box. “My dad has always been such a hard worker, the first to come in and the last to leave. He has done so much for so many people,” said On. He and his video camera followed Ath to his appointment with Kilistoff, who explained the procedure and had a big surprise for the father and son. “I know that he’s been through a lot. This story touched me and if there was something I could do, I wanted to help,” he said, then turned to Ath. “On has told
me about your history, that you’re a hardworking fellow, so we’re going to do this all for you for free.” Ath was clearly shocked at the generous gift. “Thank you very much,” was all he could say at the time. Later, he said, “I still can’t believe that Dr. Kilistoff would do this for me. There are no words to express his kind gesture. I personally want to thank Dr. Kilistoff and his clinic and wish them success and prosperity.” On said his father feels very fortunate that someone in his new community and country would help him this way. “He is blessed,” said On. “He still can’t believe it and he thinks we are all blessed to be here. He will keep on working to help his family in Cambodia as much as he can, he takes them toothbrushes and toothpaste when he visits. Cambodia is still one of the poorest countries in the world and he wants to help them.” At their Father’s Day get-together, the family enjoyed a steak dinner.

Sam Dewinetz, three, visits with his friend Agnes van Steenburgh, who turns 103 in August, at Abbeyfield House in Vernon. Sam has been visiting Agnes since he was an infant and goes every week with his grandma, Bobbe MacKenzie, to visit his great-aunt, Marnie MacKenzie, who lives at Abbeyfield.
Struggling with the challenges of providing care to someone with dementia from a distance? Local family caregivers can get help from a free tele-workshop offered by the Alzheimer Society of B.C. Called Long Distance Caregiving, the July 15 tele-workshop offers strategies to better cope with the situation, including assessing needs, identifying resources, maximizing visits and sharing responsibilities with others. More than 70,000 people in the province live with dementia, and that number is increasing dramatically as the population ages. The tele-workshop starts at 7 p.m.
Special Olympics has lots to celebrate John Topping honoured for years of service Morning Star Staff
“It has been an amazing year in our organization,” says Doris Linemayr, the local coordinator for Special Olympics BC-Vernon, “this year we have the highest number of athletes in 15 different sport programs, new board members and some exciting new fundraising opportunities plus we are celebrating 40 years of service to our community.” The charity recently held its annual general meeting, which for the first time included a dinner and dance. “We had about 200 of our members at this event, which was a huge success‚“ said Linemayr.

allow our programs to grow,” said board member Noelle Typusiak. “Through his efforts we are well-known in our community and have a lot of local support.” Three athletes and two coaches were also recognized at the AGM. They will participate in the Special Olympics National Games in Vancouver this July. A
huge crowed is expected to watch more than 1,700 athletes from around Canada compete in 11 different summer sports. “We are so excited for Lexie vanOyen, Kyle Letkeman and Marcus Carberry,” said Typusiak. “They trained hard to get there and will represent Vernon well.”
Since 1974 Special Olympics BC-Vernon has provided 15 highquality sports programs for people of all ages with intellectual disabilities, from September until July, and is always looking for more participants, and volunteers to run their programs. A golf tournament is in the works for 2015 and the Book Warehouse in the Alpine Centre is an ongoing supporter to the charity that is always in need of funds to pay for the costs to run the programs and send their athletes to competitions.

LOVE. Men may obey the first principles of Christian faith and then flout the supreme law of love. Is it not possible to be firm yet gentle, uncompromising but courteous? Is it not possible to discuss an important subject without heat? To be fair even if we cannot approve, to help even when we are not helped, and to be just although not treated with justice? Is it not possible to love the sinner however hateful his error, and find some pity in our hearts for the man who blindly opposes God, even if he also opposes us?

WHEN YOU BRING IN THIS AD
Bob McHugh in his review of the Lincoln MKC reveals there is a new technology called “park out assist” which gets your vehicle out of the tight parking sport that the “park assist” shoehorned you into! Is this kind of technology in danger of diminishing a driver’s control skills?

Six top TV cop cars under the radar
by Rob Sass
The cop show genre goes back to the pre-TV days of radio (where you had to imagine what black and white your favorite cop was driving). Here are some favorite full-size, rear-wheel-drive American cop cars from 60 years of the best cop shows: “Adam 12” (1972 AMC Matador): Although it was shot in the 1970s, in many ways, “Adam 12” was a throwback to 1950s cop shows in which gangs, heroin dealers and street snitches didn’t exist and officers Reed and Malloy played by Kent McCord and Martin Milner rarely drew their guns, let alone actually capped anyone. In seasons five through seven, they drove an AMC Matador. In actuality, the LAPD was always a strong supporter of underdog American

Motors; they owned more than 500 Matador black and whites at one time. “TJ Hooker” (1979 Dodge St. Regis): The post-“‘Star Trek’ the TV series” and pre-“‘Star Trek’ the Motion Picture” years saw William Shatner in a relatively forgettable cop show that starred perhaps the least believable cop of all time, Heather Locklear. For much of the show’s run, Shatner drove an equally forgettable Malaise-Era Mopar full-size sedan, the Dodge St. Regis. It’s fascinating to see them on the show because few people can remember the last time they saw one on the road — they’re nearly extinct. “Hill Street Blues” (1976 Dodge Monaco): The opening title sequence of “Hill Street Blues” with a memorable Mike Post theme song and a gritty look featured several fishtailing Dodge Monacos high-

tailing it out of the precinct. The Monaco in police surplus trim also served as The Bluesmobile in the film “The Blues Brothers.” “Southland” (1999 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor): No list of great cop cars would be complete without the classic Ford Crown Vic. The last full-size rear-wheel-drive Ford was produced from 1992-2011. The Crown Vic was the most widely used police car and taxi in the U.S. and Canada, and although they’re starting to give way to the Dodge Charger, they still show up in the rearview mirrors of speeders everywhere. “The Andy Griffith Show” (1963 Ford Galaxie): The Mayberry Police Department was fond of Fords.

Honda Odyssey is one very clean machine by Ian Harwood
The 2014 Honda Odyssey is ready to take you on your next big messy adventure with the kids and it can help you clean up too. The van features the world’s first in-car vacuum system called the HondaVac. It comes complete with a replaceable filter, canister bag, nozzle accessories, and a hose capable of reaching the front seats. I feel a family email coming on. My sister-in-law Cristina has an Odyssey van and has been transporting a full size shop vac and leaf blower around for years. My two nieces make quite a mess, unlike my tidy offspring. Just kidding. But before we get into an interior clean-up, let’s cast an eye over the vehicle’s exterior looks. It has a stylish hood that sweeps down towards the grille. The headlights are angled up and back giving the profile a sculpted look. Honda refers to the overall design as a lightning bolt. Not only does it provide an exclusive appearance, but also adds increased visibility for third row passengers. Very nice interior, everything laid out nicely. So many bells and whistles you almost would want to run through a checklist before driving. Eight-passenger seating with a total passenger volume of 4,887 litres, whatever, that means. And all those passengers get thirsty so Honda put in 15 cup holders. The third row is a one-motion 60/40 split ‘Magic’ seat that can accommodate three passengers and still leave 1,087 litres of cargo volume – that’s room for a lot of slushies for later in the journey. The second row is a 3 mode seating with fold down center console. Driver and front passenger seats are captain’s chairs that are very comfortable. My tester included a leather wrapped steering wheel
The wildly useful HondaVAC is just one feature in a host of updates on the 2014 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite. with audio controls, channel selector, cruise control, and hands-free telephone button. The instrument panel is easier to read, thanks to a little tweaks by the engineers. Satellite-linked Navigation screen with trilingual voice recognition, 3D map and FM traffic is also available that uses GPS technology and a 60GB hard drive based operating

system that provides the driver with turn-by-turn voice guidance to their chosen destination. The screen also is used for the back-up camera that offers three different views, normal view, wide angle, and top down. Both side sliding doors open automatically via the key fob or a switch on the dash. A 270-watt AM/ FM/CD audio system with MP3/Windows Media audio playback and seven speakers including a subwoofer is standard, with a 650-watt and 12-speaker version also available. The i-MID or intelligent Multi information Display has the ability to display your incoming text messages while in park and read them out too you while driving. I had one driving home late one night and it said “your dinner is in the garbage, have a nice day” must have been a glitch. The available rear entertainment system features a huge 16.2-inch screen that includes two wireless headsets with personal surround sound. Safety is paramount with mini-van owners; the
Odyssey earned a 2013 IIHS top safety pick and is the only minivan with a 5-star safety rating from the NHTSA. It comes standard with vehicle stability assist, side curtain airbags, and active front seat head restraints that are designed to help reduce neck injury in the event of a rear collision. There are also five lower anchors and tethers for children. 4-wheel anti-lock brakes and tire pressure monitoring system is standard. There’s also an available land departure warning system. It utilizes onboard cameras to determine if you’re drifting too far out of your lane without using your turn signal. The engine is a 3.5 litre, 24 valve, SOHC, i-VTEC V6 that produces 248 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque. The engines variable cylinder management system allows the engine to run on three, four or six cylinders depending on the requirements. All models receive a 6-speed automatic transmission. The combination makes the drive that much more comfortable and enjoyable. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca
They are Miata mates for life
Stowe, Vermont – Despite the relatively early call time, a group of almost 100 Mazda Miata/MX-5 drivers/passengers gathers for the morning’s meeting. The weather is looking favourable even though the a.m. envelops the crowd with its chilliness. It’s not raining though. That’s a good sign. Tour organizer and former Trillium Miata Club president, Gary Svoboda, talks about the day’s journey, addresses some basic housekeeping rules, makes some jokes and engages in witty banter with a group of excited Miata enthusiasts. Everyone is ready to hit the roads of Vermont in their tiny, drop top, two-doors. Everything from first generations Miatas, to the latest and greatest rear-wheel drive roadsters line the gravel parking lot of our home base, also known as the Regardless Stowehof Inn. Stowe, VT’s claim to fame is as a ski destination. of background, Currently, its claim to fame is the 46 Mazdas profession, or that drove in from Ontario and are congregatpreference in ing for their annual tour.

The the world bring crowd gets rowdier by the minute so go-time is people together just around the corner. The meeting wraps up; we branch into our as strongly as respective groups and fire up the engines. Mazda’s MX-5. As honorary members for the event, my co-pilot Alexandra Straub – aka my mother Zsuzsanna Straub – and I get behind the wheel of our MX-5. Within moments, we’re topless. The car. Not us! Seven vehicles comprise a group, including a leader and a sweeper. We’re comfortably nestled in the bosom of the pack. Our job is to enjoy ourselves, as well as give the MX-5 a little bit of room to romp free. It’s hard not to smile on the undulating roads of Vermont, which are lined with trees, houses, fields and topped off with a bovine scent! Then there is what is called “The Notch.” A mountain road where emaciated limbs of indigenous trees look like they’re reaching out and trying to touch the cars. Boulders are scattered and the path is paved around it. The intermittent obstacles would likely be the outcome of two Greek gods

The sinuous and slender road is a hoot to drive through especially with no one in front of you. The occasional crackling on the CB radios frequently is overpowered by instructions from the leader. Like a mother duck summoning her young, we followed in order. We stuck together and took in some breathtaking scenery of New England. Scenery aside, what was the most interesting to breathe in was the enthusiasm and energy of the Miata owners. Liz Burns has “Miatatude” stickered across her windshield. Miata earrings dangle from her ears as she professes her love of her emerald beauty. Another owner decided to turn his conventional doors into ones that open up not out. At breakfast, lunch and dinner, they regale each other with stories of other events they’ve been on. Outbursts of laughter perk up the ears of bystanders; making them wish they were at that table reliving the memories. The camaraderie of those young and young at heart is undisputable. Regardless of background, profession, or preference in exterior colour, few vehicles in the world bring people together as strongly as Mazda’s MX-5. Liz was one of the first members of the Trillium Miata Club. She expected to join a group of Miata owners and drive with them on weekends. Liz says she “didn’t expect to make friends for 25 years” but she did. And as the Miata/MX-5 turns 25 this year, here’s to another quarter century of promote the best that life has to offer: the bond of mankind and machine, 167 horsepower at a time. www.mazda.ca alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca
