Barriers increase Highway 97 safety RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Motorist safety will be improved on a deadly stretch of North Okanagan highway.

It was announced Wednesday that concrete barriers will be installed along 11 kilometres of Highway 97 between Coldstream and Lake Country to ensure motorists do not cross the centre line.

“I have known people who have unfortunately lost their lives,” said Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA. The most recent accident claimed the life of an Oyama man June 4.

Barriers are currently along a portion of the highway but the announcement means the remaining sections will also be barricaded through the $5 million project, which will begin this fall.

“We’re constantly working to improve highway safety,” said Transportation Minister Todd Stone, adding that there is a need to take action as about 20,000 vehicles a day use the highway.

Also on Wednesday, Stone announced that the speed limit on Highway 97, from Gatzke Road in Oyama to College Way in Coldstream, will be increased from 90 to 100 kilometres. However, that won’t occur until the concrete barriers are in place.

One safety improvement that is not moving ahead yet is realignment of the Birnie Road intersection.

“I’m familiar with Birnie Road and the concerns expressed,” said Stone of demands from the Regional District of North Okanagan that something be done to ensure the safety of people leaving the Greater Vernon landfill and entering on to the highway from Birnie Road.

However, Stone says his ministry must balance investment in highway infrastructure with taxpayers’ ability to pay for such work.

For a video of the announcement visit www. vernonmorningstar.com

When asked where Birnie Road was in terms of priorities, Stone said, “We’ll talk that through with the regional district.”

Stone met with representatives from RDNO, Vernon and Coldstream Wednesday.

The Ministry of Transportation wants to make it right-in only for motorists leaving the highway to get on to Birnie Road and

right-out only for motorists entering back on to the highway.

RDNO wants a bridge constructed over

the highway so traffic leaving Birnie Road can get back on to the highway northbound safely.

Community rallies for youth after mishap long road ahead of them and any support we can offer them will go a long ways to their recovery. We are hoping for several miracles along this journey.”

An online account at www.fundrazr. com has been established and, as of noon Thursday, $10,200 had been raised toward a goal of $15,000 to help the family with costs.

Wohlford’s lacrosse squad donated its team fund of more than $1,000 to the account and several other teams are considering doing the same.

If you would like to make a donation, visit the website and enter “Miracles for Miles” under the search engine.

An account has also been set up at the VantageOne Credit Union, and you can donate at any of the Vernon locations. The account name is also Miracles for Miles.

Accounts have also been set up at Chasers Bottle Depot and Interior Freight and Bottle Depot for people wishing to donate the money from their sorted and counted returns. Again, the account name is Miracles for Miles.

There will be a hot dog sale, draws and raffle at The Sports Store, 4412 27th St., Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., manned by minor lacrosse volunteers.

Family events will be held throughout the day on Friday, July 18, culminating with a dance and silent auction at the Elks Hall starting at 7 p.m. featuring Vernon band Mace. There will be a 50/50 draw and silent auction.

ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

A month ago, Miles Wohlford helped raise a couple of hundred dollars for, and participated in, the North Okanagan Youth and Family Services Society’s Fitness For Families Hockey Challenge.

Now, the community is rallying for Wohlford.

The Vernon teenager, who recently completed Grade 8 at Fulton Secondary, is fighting for his life after being seriously injured in a boating accident on Okanagan Lake last Saturday.

Wohlford, 14, was tubing with some family friends just after 6 p.m. when he fell off the tube. The boat towing him ended up hitting him with the propeller.

He suffered serious head, arm and leg injuries in the accident, and was airlifted to Kelowna General Hospital where, as of Thursday, he remained in the intensive care unit in critical but stable condition.

The popular teen is well known in Vernon minor hockey and lacrosse circles.

Wohlford spent last hockey season with the Five Star Awards Cougars in the Bantam House league, and recently helped the North Okanagan Legends to the Bantam A lacrosse playoffs. He is also a key contributor of the Fulton Maroons’ undefeated North Zone Grade 8 rugby championship squad.

Friends and supporters of the injured teen have rallied to help Wohlford and his family, who have been keeping a bedside

“Please help us support Miles and his mom, Randi Lund, dad Todd Wohlford, sister Taigan and brother Jayden,” wrote Cindy Meissner who, along with Rhonda Becker, have spearheaded the fundraising efforts.

Meissner’s and Becker’s sons are teammates and longtime friends of Wohlford.

Anybody wishing to donate an item to a silent auction for Miracles for Miles can drop the item(s) off at the Okanagan Science Centre.

A Facebook page – Support Miracles for Miles – has been created and more information on all events will be added to the page.

Businesses are encouraged to put ‘Miracles for Miles’ on their signage.

The outpouring of support has touched Wohlford’s family.

His mom, Randi Lund, said through social media her son is receiving exceptional medical care, and expressed sincere and heartfelt thanks to the community.

“I can say he is receiving the best care we could imagine,” wrote Lund. “The doctors and nurses are extraordinary and have gone above and beyond to support us.

“We are feeling the love, prayers and support from the people in our community and all across Canada. I read all the kind words of encouragement, prayers, and well wishes to Miles over and over. Thank you so much to everyone.

“Words cannot describe how grateful I am for all the love, support, prayers and community spirit our family has experienced. We could not get through this without all of you.”

RCMP are continuing to investigate the accident, and are asking anyone who may have witnessed the mishap to call the detachment at 250-545-7171.

Officials investigate latest suspicious fire ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Motorhomes, boats, port-a-potty, pallets, railway ties and now some tires.

The latest suspicious fire in Vernon – a list that has grown to more than 20 in a couple of months – involved some tires being set ablaze behind a business in the 4700 block of 27th Street just before 1 a.m. Wednesday.

“The tires were being stored there for recycling when someone set them on fire,” said Vernon Fire Rescue Services deputy chief Jack Blair. “It appears suspicious in nature.”

Blair said the fire was going “pretty good” when crews arrived on scene. Tire fires have the potential to become quite serious.

“Tires are ugly,” said Blair. “They burn really bad and emit toxic smoke. They can be very difficult to extinguish at times.”

Blair said his crews did a great job in containing the fire as they were able to get foam

Firefighters tackle burning tires behind a business on 27th Street early Wednesday morning. on it right away.

“Once the tires get hot, water just doesn’t have much of an effect,” said Blair.

Both Vernon Fire Rescue Services and the Vernon RCMP are investigating this latest in a string of suspicious fires.

A majority of the fires have been in Vernon’s north end, and the one common theme in all of the fires is that they have started between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m.

“We are encouraging people to contact us with any information that will help us with our ongoing investigation,” said Vernon RCMP Cpl. Gerry Kovacs.

RCMP did release a photo of a person of interest in a fire a couple of weeks ago under a sheriff ’s car at the Vernon Courthouse.

“The public has responded with information, but that information has not led to an arrest,” said Kovacs.

The RCMP encourage people to take steps to mitigate any fire risks to their property by cleaning up debris piles that could be set on fire.

Vernon has never placed in the Miss, Mrs. and Miss Teen BC Pageant in the pageant’s entire 12-year history…until last weekend, when Carlita Nair walked out with the Miss BC Interior crown.

Nair states in her biography on the Miss BC website that she believes in testing boundaries and standing up for what she believes, regardless of consequence or social stigmas.

“I strongly believe that one person is capable of moving a generation,” she explains, and she intends to do just that.

Along with eight regional titles, the top provincial titles crowned at this year’s event in Fort Langley were Miss BC, Mrs. BC, Miss Teen BC and Miss BC Charity.

The pageant will be broadcast on Shaw Television later this month.

“Unlike self-styled beauty pageants, Miss BC is about finding role models for B.C. women. As a result, the judges are looking for well-spoken, wellrounded, intelligent and outgoing women,” said director Darren Storsley. “Carlita was definitely recognized for her passion and self-confidence.”

The Miss, Mrs. and Miss Teen BC Pageant is already conducting interviews for the 2015 pageant. Interested applicants are encouraged to apply online at http://www.missbc.ca.

doned railway,” said Sicamous Mayor Darrel Trouton.

“This is an opportunity for us to possibly have a rail trail from Sicamous right down to the border. Hopefully it goes through, hopefully we get some support from the province and communities in the province.”

A bid to acquire the line between Sicamous and Armstrong became more tenuous when an opportunity was missed during the process that CP Rail had to follow in deregulating the line.

When a federally regulated railway, such as CP or CN, announces its intention to discontinue operation of such a line, they must adhere to a formal abandonment process laid out by the Canada Transportation Act. If no commercial sale of the line to a rail company is completed within the allowed time, CP must offer to sell the line to local governments for a price not

more than the net salvage value of the line.

However, the deadline for local governments to purchase the SicamousArmstrong line passed without an agreement.

The portion of line is now in CP Rail’s real estate group.

“There is no formal process once the CTA discontinuance process is complete,” wrote CP spokesperson Salem Woodrow.

“CP remains in contact with local municipalities and we are considering our next steps.

Any discussions we have are in private.”

Why the window of opportunity was missed remains something of a mystery. Although there had been a regional effort to acquire the line during the allowed time frame, once a local government enters into negotiations with CP, the process becomes confidential. However, now that the timeline has expired, comments are still not forthcoming.

“Carrying freight or passengers from one

Summer staycations up

t’s hard not to opt for a staycation when you live in beautiful British Columbia, particularly this little piece of Okanagan paradise we call home.

So it’s no wonder that, according to BMO’s 2014 Summer Travel Outlook, Canadians rank their home province as the top destination spot for vacations.

The survey is from an online sample of 1,518 adult Canadians.

Of those, 55 per cent said they will be travelling within their home province, 26 per cent to another province (that’s the Alberta migration Jennifer Smith to B.C.), 30 per cent to the U.S., 16 per cent to international and overseas destinations and 19 per cent aren’t going anywhere.

But I would suggest that if a larger sample was used, the first and last numbers might be even higher.

While I’ll be one of those staycationers this summer, apparently my age group is the most worldly travellers.

One-quarter (24 per cent) of Millennials (Canadians aged 18 to 34) are opting to travel outside of Canada and the U.S. But I’d say those numbers represent the youngest of this group and those who don’t have families and mortgages yet.

Finances have the remainder of us tied down. We can’t afford to go anywhere, and the survey also suggests that.

“Affordability is top of mind for Canadian travellers, likely because of their renewed focus on saving this summer as well as other factors, including the Canadian dollar and fuel prices,” said Nick Mastromarco, managing director, credit card products, BMO Bank of Montreal.

The survey, conducted by Pollara, revealed cost-conscious Canadians plan to spend $1,802 on summer travel, down nearly 20 per cent compared to a year ago ($2,226 in 2013).

Considering those numbers I’m assuming the majority of those surveyed are our neighbours to the east.

No matter the number, we’re all trying to save money, some of just more desperately than others.

But staying home is also a chance to catch up home renos, attend appointments or simply tend to the endless list of chores around the house.

But it’s not all work.

Being at home and being able to cross items off the ‘To do list,’ means we have time to take in some of the many wonders our area has to offer.

Of course the climate makes it easy to enjoy all the sun, sand and surf of the Okanagan but there are also a multitude of activities to enjoy in the area.

There’s numerous trails and outdoor adventure spots, not to mention Vernon is home to the Okanagan’s only waterslides – Atlantis.

The area is also brimming with home grown talent, which can be caught on local stages, indoor and out in the summer. The region has also become a hot spot for national and international artists to perform.

Fairs and festivals fill the Okanagan, not to mention all the sporting events, walks, fundraisers and family-friendly events.

We recently wrapped up Funtastic and Canada Day activities, both of which were equally full of ear-to-ear grins. The population swelled throughout the North Okanagan as slo-pitch teams took in the 30th annual tournament and all the entertainment at the DND grounds. Plus many of those in town for the tournament made this their own vacation, and stayed to celebrate Canada Day with us Tuesday.

With all we have to offer, it’s no wonder our streets, sidewalks, beaches, lakes and campsites are packed in the summer. Tourists come from near and far to take it all in, including those playing tourist in their own town.

Part of the problem has been addressed.

The provincial government took a major step towards improving public safety by announcing Wednesday that concrete barriers will be installed along the entire length of Highway 97 from Coldstream to Lake Country. This will go a long way towards preventing the deadly collisions that occur when a vehicle crosses the centre line.

However, the Ministry of Transportation must realize that even more still needs to be done, and particularly at Birnie Road where local residents are forced to risk their lives by getting back on to the highway after being at the landfill.

Last year, the Regional District of North Okanagan, which operates the landfill, suggested constructing a one-way bridge from Birnie Road northbound to Highway 97 crossing the highway. It would then allow vehicles to yield on to the highway safely.

However, the ministry has done nothing to advance safety upgrades there and while in the area Wednesday, Transportation Minister Todd Stone said that while he is aware of the issues at Birnie Road, the government’s financial pressures must be taken into account.

Fair enough, but it should be pointed out that RDNO’s plans call for part of the cost of constructing the bridge to come from landfill tipping fees paid by local residents.

An affordable option has been presented to Victoria.

With barriers being installed on the highway, now is also the time to move ahead with upgrades at Birnie Road.

We would encourage all residents to contact Stone and MLA Eric Foster and demand action before someone is seriously injured or killed while trying to get rid of their trash.

I attended the parent advisory council meeting to let the parents know about our Summer Reading Club at the Lumby branch of Okanagan Regional Library every summer.

I told them about the great programs that we have planned for the kids this year and about our funding only being $60 for the summer for up to 75 kids.

The Kelly family did a bottle drive and raised $75 toward supplies for this program.

Charmayne and I thank you, as well as all of those past and present, who have donated their money and time to our summer literacy program.

Pedestrians at risk on sidewalks

am a longtime resident of Vernon and feel it is time to voice my concerns about all the bicycles and e-bikes on our sidewalks.

As a child, I was taught that you ride your bicycle on the edge of the road, never on the sidewalk, and when crossing at a crosswalk, you get off your bike and push it because you are in a pedestrian area.

Now parents teach their children to ride on the sidewalks and never mind those people trying to walk there. More and more now, I see people, mainly adults who should know better, riding on the sidewalks. Recently, as a pedestrian in the downtown core, I was less than happy about having to dodge three bicycles on one street corner.

In most cities, it is against the law to ride on the sidewalk, yet Vernon seems to encourage this dangerous practice.

On 29th Street, from 43rd Avenue to 48th Avenue, the sidewalk is designated and posted as being shared between pedestrians and bicycles, and the RCMP never bother to stop people from riding on any

of the sidewalks, endangering the safety of pedestrians.

It's bad enough that people on bicycles are riding amongst pedestrians and treating us as if we are walking on their space rather than them riding on ours, but it has also become a common site in Vernon to see e-bikes (electronic bicycles) on the sidewalks too.

trAin line I read with interest the recent article giving voice to the Okanagan Rail Initiative's report supporting, in rather overly-glowing terms, the decommissioning of an existing rail line to create a new trail.

Our local politicians and the media have been far quieter about another, equally beneficial, possibility — a north-south commuter train link. It's neither a new idea nor a far-fetched one.

At the downtown revitalization open house of a previous council, a sitting politician agreed that a commuter train was completely in line with the city's vision of environmental sustainability and a perfect fit with revitalization efforts.

Trains are the commuter lifeblood of, well, seemingly every country but ours. Even Eastern Canada has the Go Train system, allowing commuters to live in one place and work in another.

We know our Vernon/Kelowna commuter base is huge. People I know would jump at the chance to leave cars behind for a relaxing jour-

EFLEC TIONS EFLECTIONS HAIR & ESTHETICS STUDIO

These are motor vehicles and have even less place on our sidewalks than do the peddle bikes.

I've several times heard the excuse that it's dangerous to ride on the roads and safer for them to ride on the sidewalks.

OK, I understand that, however, it is far more dangerous for the pedestrian.

Where are pedestrians supposed to go to

ney to Kelowna and back (and with luck, beyond to Penticton one day), not to mention being free of worries about road conditions or DUI. Our tourists will absolutely use this train, and businesses will benefit from shoppers who pass by on foot, not passing them by in a car.

You see my point? Remember too that things once gone are gone forever.

Look around Vernon at how many beautiful heritage buildings were torn down and how few we have left.

We'll never get those back and once we lose existing rail beds, we won't get those back either.

When we can no longer deny our need for commuter trains, where will we find the space for a new rail bed if this trail builds on the existing one? Can you imagine its users happily voting to decommission it for a new train track? Can you imagine the cost to rebuild?

I'm asking politicians to think about the future of travel, look to other countries and their successful train infrastructures, and ask them-

be safe while walking? I drive a motorcycle, and in 2010 I was badly injured when hit by a car while riding down the street through Vernon, so yes, I really do understand how dangerous it is to be on our roads.

And yes, it would be a lot safer for me to ride my 1300cc motorcycle on the sidewalks too. I mean, if they can why not me? It was not fun having shattered and dislocated bones and my motorcycle trike destroyed and I too would like to feel safer out there.

Instead of riding/driving vehicles on the sidewalks, how about we make it harder for people to get drivers licences so that we can have fewer dangerous drivers on our streets and highways resulting in a safer commute for all of us?

If any pedestrian gets hit by a bicycle on the sidewalk in Vernon, I only hope they sue not only the person who hits them, or the parents of said person, but also sue the City of Vernon and the RCMP for failing to keep our sidewalks and other pedestrian areas safe for pedestrian use.

selves if it's prudent to learn by example.

I hope all concerned citizens will speak up before it's too late. yvonne logan new system On May 29, my recycling was at the curb at 7 a.m. as instructed.

The boxes weren’t emptied by 7 p.m. when I arrived home.

Those Enterra trucks must have been busy. Our street was apparently serviced sometime later in the evening because this morning, everyone’s boxes appeared to have been emptied. Except mine.

Now there may be a rule against stacking your boxes, although I didn’t see that in the literature. I stacked the plastic box on top of the paper box because it was raining heavily and continued through the day. I thought keeping the rain off the newspapers was a good idea.

Clearly not, since my boxes were skipped over. I’ve learned my lesson.

In two week's time, the boxes will be at the curb, rain or shine, and definitely not stacked.

You don’t have to tell me twice. michael tindall

â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had some exploratory discussions with the parties and determined that mediation is not indicated at this time,â&#x20AC;? said an agreed statement by both parties.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the BCTFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total compensation demands are still more than twice what other government unions have settled for.

The unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s benefit demands alone represent an additional $225 million a year, Fassbender said. Those include increases to preparation time, pregnancy and parental leave, extended health and dental and substitute teacher compensation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no process and no mediator that can bridge this gap at this time,â&#x20AC;? said Fassbender. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To pretend otherwise only raises false expectations and serves to delay the tough decisions the BCTF executive needs to make to get to an affordable agreement.â&#x20AC;?

BCTF president Jim Iker said the government placed unacceptable pre-conditions on wage negotiations going to mediation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this point, with the government maintaining entrenched positions that are unfair and unreasonable, mediation will not be able to move forward,â&#x20AC;? said Iker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will keep the lines of communication open in July to restart bargaining if the government is ready to make a real effort and bring the necessary funding to the table.â&#x20AC;?

BCPSEA has proposed a seven per cent pay increase over six years, plus a $1,200 signing bonus with a deadline that expired June 30. The BCTF has countered eight per cent over five years with a proposed $5,000 bonus, to make up for a year the union has worked under an expired contract.

BCPSEA has calculated the cost of the unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position on class size and composition at $1.67 billion. That dispute has been the subject of a series of court actions and the B.C. Court of Appeal is expected to rule on it in the fall.

Fassbender said the latest offer is to guarantee $75 million in each year of a new contract for special needs support.

The Okanagan Nation Alliance will file legal action against the provincial government taking direct aim at the B.C. Treaty Process.

The legal action will challenge an incremental treaty agreement the government signed in 2013 with the Ktunaxa Nation Council to transfer about 241 hectares of land near Nakusp as part of an early transfer of lands that will form part of a final treaty.

The Okanagan Nation Alliance says that despite the fact that the area includes important village sites, hunting grounds, and cultural heritage sites for Okanagan communities, the province did not consult with the ONA before signing the agreement.

“This lawsuit is a direct result of an unprincipled and broken B.C. Treaty Process that ignores established legal principles, traditional protocols, and the title and rights of First Nations,” said Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, with the ONA. “You can’t achieve reconciliation with one First Nation by trampling on the rights of another First Nation.

That is the opposite of honourable conduct.

Our title and rights are not there for the province to ignore or give away. Our people and communities demanded we take action to protect their title and rights and that’s what we’re doing.”

Phillip says the provincial government has had a year to rectify the situation.

“We offered the province a path to a collaborative, respectful resolution,” he said.

“The province rejected that option and has chosen instead to roll the dice and put their entire program of incremental treaty agreements, and more broadly the unprincipled treaty process, before the courts. That is a fight we are more than happy to take on.”

John Nicol speaks about his brother Patrick Nicol in front of a crowd Tuesday afternoon at Polson Park. Patrick Nicol, a Vernon councillor, was known as Mr. Canada Day and a memorial was unveiled in his honour.

Patrick, who also served as chairperson of the Regional District of North Okanagan, died in January at the age of 64 following a long battle with cancer. He was a longtime broadcaster and radio station general manager. His length of service on Vernon city council was among the longest of any councillor in B.C.

Bell, Langford take 88th Hankey Morning Star Staff

Jeremy Bell’s regular doubles partner was busy so he looked to Salmon Arm’s Bob Langford as a replacement.

The combination worked beautifully as Vernon’s Bell and Langford claimed the men’s A doubles title in the 88th Hankey Cup Doubles Tennis Championships Sunday night at the Kalamalka Country Club.

Tireless tournament chairman Ray Kimoto said 83 participants came from Calgary, central B.C., and the Okanagan with spectators entertained by some highcalibre tennis.

Bell and Langford, a former Vernonite, stopped Ken Cheung and Brandon Fung of Kelowna 6-5, 2-6, 10-6 (tiebreaker) in the finals. Cheung and Fung played a match in the ITF Futures tournament in Kelowna the previous day.

For the 44-year-old Bell, it was his second straight Hankey Cup victory after a few years of tough luck in the event.

“While it was disappointing that my regular doubles partner, West MartinPatterson (of Sicamous), couldn’t play due to family commitments on Saturday, it was fun to team up with Bob Langford who I met in the early 1990s in Vancouver,” said the lean, 6-foot-4 Bell.

“Bob is a great guy and a solid doubles partner who gets the job done. He stays level-headed and is particularly strong mid-court. All of our matches were enjoyable with some competitive teams pushing us to play our best.”

Langford also won the mixed A doubles, teaming with Kelowna’s Eva Koksalova and defeating Rosie and Joe Schaich of Kelowna 8-2 (pro set scoring) for the championship.

In the semifinals, Koksalova and Langford grounded Vernon’s Supha Phon

and Calgary’s Everett Knight 8-1, while the Schaichs turned back Kelowna’s Audrey Chu and Ken Cheung 8-7.

In the men’s B doubles finals, the Kal Country Club veteran twosome of Ralph Stevens and Shane Valouch brushed back Vernon’s Joe McFadden and Joe Groves 6-3, 6-4.

Stevens and Valouch have pocketed this crown twice.

In one of the semifinal matches, Vernon’s Morris Vardabasso and David Valouch lost 6-4, 6-4 to McFadden and Grove.

In the ladies’ A doubles, the results were determined by placements in the round-robin.

Two teams – Meryl Ogden and Rosie Schaich and Leah and Sharon Brownell, – had 9-1 records. The winner was then determined by the team that had won the most games over all the other teams in the round-robin.

First place went to Ogden (Vernon) and Schaich (Kelowna), who won 59 games while the Brownells of Penticton placed second with 55 wins.

Loree Boyd and Deedee Shattock of Salmon Arm iced Lea Poirier and Diana Kerr of Kamloops, 6-5, 6-4 in the ladies’ B doubles final.

In one of the semis, Vernon’s Barb Klopfenstein and Diana Anderson lost 6-3, 6-1 to Boyd and Shattock.

The mixed B doubles final was captured by the Vernon pair of Lynne Smith and Joe McFadden over the Penticton duo of Sharon and Bob Brownell (Penticton), 8-3.

Kimoto, who is the first one out with a squeegee when the rain hits, and the last one to go home at night (which was very late on Sunday as the men’s A doubles final went past 10:30 p.m.), thanked his hard-working committee of Gordon Mann,

Tigers fan Flames Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Source for Sports Tigers extinguished the South Okanagan Flames 16-6 in a Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League rumble Wednesday night at Kal Tire Place.

Jordan Orr’s game-high six assists led the way for the Tigers (13-2). Orr is the Tigers’ top point producer with 20 goals and 52 points.

“He was great for us last night. He has a natural ability to find open guys through a mess of sticks,” said Tigers’ coach Keith Hanna.

Ryan Sarazin pocketed four goals and two assists, but his most impressive shift was when he ran a marathon, killing a five-minute major in the third period.

Captain Brett Hanna, Connor Buick, Darrell Landels and Jay Seaton all scored a pair. Quintin Harrish and Austin Lewarne supplied singles and Steele Pelletier recorded a goal and an assist after being called up from the midget Legends.

Colton DeBoer also played his first game with the Tigers. He was recently acquired from the Armstrong Shamrocks (4-10) and will return to the Irish next season.

It was just another day for goalie Aaron Jensen.

The Cats’ most consistent player recorded 48 saves and two helpers.

The Flames (4-11) have made a late-season push and have jumped into third over the Shamrocks.

“They are a much improved team now from the begining of the year,” said Hanna.

The Flames received a hat trick from assistant captain Chris Pond, a pair of snipes from captain Kaid McLeod and a single from their other assis-

tant Tanner Thompson.

The Tigers have rattled off nine straight wins and have crawled within one game of first-place Kamloops Venom (14-1).

The Tigers and the Venom battle Saturday night at Kal Tire Place in the season finale.

“It’s not the end all, but we would definitely like to finish first. It would complete the season nicely for us,” said Hanna. “The Kamloops game will be a good playoff warm up.”

Playoffs begin Tuesday night at Kal Tire Place.

The first round is a best-of-five with the series alternating home and away games each night.

The Shamrocks played the Kelowna Raiders (2-13) Thursday night and host the Flames tonight in their season finale at Nor-Val Sports Centre.

Former Shamrock Brett Hawrys has been traded along with goalie Pete Dubenski by the Nanaimo Timbermen (7-11-1) to the Coquitlam Adanacs (17-3-1) of the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League.

Hawrys is a rental player who will be returned to the T-Men next season. He led Nanaimo with 39 goals and 67 points.

Former Tiger goalie Brodie MacDonald of the Western Lacrosse League Langley Thunder had his National Lacrosse League rights with the Edmonton Rush traded to the Minnesota Swarm for the first overall selection and a second-round pick in the 2015 draft, plus goaltender Tyler Carlson.

MacDonald is 6-5 with a 8.00 goals against average and an .828 save percentage this season with the Thunder.

Vernon players strike silver Morning Star Staff

A pair of Vernon players helped the Thompson Okanagan FC Under 15 girls bag silver in the Premier Division of the Baker Blast Soccer Tournament in Bellingham.

Striker Caleigh Graham and keeper/winger Caleb Pope pocketed medals after the Okanagan lost 1-0 (3-2) in penalty kicks to the Rangers FC99 of Washington State. Graham scored once in PKs, while Pope made two saves.

The Okanagan clipped the Rangers 2-1 in preliminary play with Graham converting a breakaway.

In the semifinals, Pope scored once as the Okanagan iced Tynecastle FC99 of Washington 2-0.

Meanwhile, the Vernon United U12 boys Selects ended the season at the Canada Day Tournament in Kelowna, going 3-1.

United opened with a gritty 2-1 win over Kelowna Red with Burger King Man of the Match Liam Glennon catching the Reds sleeping on a free kick and sniping a 25-yarder to tie things early in the second half.

Minutes later, Glennon flew down the wing and crossed a ball into the box where Saajan Klair capitalized. Dawson Martian, Keegan Carmichael and Gavin Medema had great games and Logan Quibell was solid in net.

In the second game, the lads lost 2-0 to the determined Kelowna Whites, who went up 2-0 after 15

Man of the Match Max Chirkoff, Kobe Grant and William Ordt-Bosman put in great efforts.

The boys rebounded Sunday by ambushing Rutland 3-1 with Red Robin Man of the Match Medema clicking early after a great feed from Carmichael.

Glennon put the next two in and the boys were up 3-0 at the half. Kevin Morgan exchanged his keeper jersey with Glennon to play wing and delivered a great ball to Medema to make it 4-0.

Liam Reid smashed a 25-yard free kick and Martian buried the rebound to round out the Vernon scoring.

Jack Cotter, Aiden Skinner and Reid enjoyed bold outings.

In their last game, Vernon grounded the Penticton Pinnacles 4-1.

United found the back of the net when OrdtBosman delivered on a Glennon cross. Ben Imrich put Vernon up 2-0 on a fantastic strike from outside the box. Glennon then put the boys up 3-0 at the half. Penticton closed the gap to 3-1, before Glennon struck again to ice the game.

Imrich, Skinner and Grant had strong games with Italian Kitchen Man of the Match being keeper Morgan. Tournament MVP, as chosen by head coach Paul Morgan, was Glennon.

LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR

Jeremy Kler of Turn-Key is first to the ball against Brent Poulsen of North Enderby Timber in North Okanagan Soccer League play Wednesday night at Marshall Field.

Lightning halts matches Morning Star Staff

Several lightning strikes halted a pair of North Okanagan Soccer League games Wednesday night at Marshall Field.

North Enderby Timber was leading Turn-Key Controls 2-1, while Monashee Surveying was up 2-0 on Peters Tirecraft when the matches were stopped. The games will be rescheduled.

In Capri Insurance 45+ League action Monday night, Bosman Accounting and Brandt’s Creek drew 2-2 at Marshall Field #5.

Blair Gautschi scored twice for Brandt’s (5-42), while Ian Murphy and Rob Ross replied for Bosman (3-6-2).

Murphy, named the Sutton Realty Man of the Match for his deft moves and aggressive tackling, beat stand-in keeper Andy Miller with a solid strike after a pretty feed from Glenn Verdurman. Murphy just rolled two shots wide in the final dozen minutes with Bosman pressing hard.

Ross netted the 2-2 equalizer with about 15 minutes left, neatly using a few curly hairs to nod in a goal-line cross from Mark Sladen, who made a sick move on a defender in deep to creep closer to the net.

Winger James Cotter and defender Alex Yakovlev also enjoyed stellar outings for Bosman, who got marvellous goalkeeping from Yogi Kongsdorf.

Vernon Big O Tire/Turn-Key Ogopogos and

Lake Country battled to a 3-3 draw at Marshall #2.

Ruben Cervantes, Brad Conlin and Bryan Schenker supplied goals for the Ogopogos, who went to 3-7-1.

Graham Jenkins, Brad Rustad and Ian Smith countered for the Lakers (4-2-5).

First-place Penticton Dental Centre United brushed back the shorthanded visiting North Country Appraisals Kickers 4-1 at Kings Park.

Dave Braumberger, with a deuce, Mike Beliveau and Ken Horncastle, handled the 11-0 United offence. Steve Frost responded on a penalty kick for the third-place Kickers (8-3).

It was a close 2-1 affair until Penticton broke through with two late goals, the first a controversial one which appeared to be offside, at least according to the keeper and North Country defenders.

“It was a good clean, competitive game,” said veteran Kickers’ midfielder Matt Cherrille. “North Country looks forward to the re-match in a few weeks hoping they can field a stronger lineup as we were missing several regulars due to injury and vacation/work related absences.”

The Okanagan Spring Brewery Camels won a 1-0 forfeit over the Rutland Spirit, while the Vernon Liquor Store Stallions did likewise over Pushor Mitchell of Kelowna.

Second-place Brown Benefits (10-0-1) stuffed the Rented Mules 7-1 at Mission Sports Field #11.

The Okanagan Masters brushed back the Po-Co Saints 8-4 Monday in the Grand Masters Division of the Canadian Masters Lacrosse Championships in Port Coquitlam.

Speedy tournament MVP Pat Nelson, an Armstrong product, relished the victory in the eight-team category.

“It was a total team effort; I had the whole team behind me – trying to catch up.”

Added 66-year-old former Armstrong Shamrock Lance McGregor, who played some tough minutes: “I’ve played a lot of lacrosse in my time, but never with a team so old and out of shape.”

The Okanagan Masters were awarded the 2016 Canadian Masters Championships.

The Masters opened with a 10-2 drubbing of the Prince George Stylers with Nelson potting three goals, including a nifty backhander.

Defensive specialist-turned sniper Glenn (Stumpy) Mitchell blazed down the left wing and ripped a Stu Williamsonesque overhand shot bottom corner.

In Game 2, the Okanagan stopped the Saints 7-3 in the cavernous Langley Events Centre, where the National Lacrosse League turf seemed to energize FOGO (Face Off Get Off) special teams leader Ryan Nitchie, who had been snakebitten with several posts and belly shots.

Nitchie buried a quick one-timer stick pass from the teammate with the hardest wrist shot in Masters lacrosse, Jeff Hanley (sire to the family of talented Junior Hanleys of Armstrong).

Seattle import Devin (Wolverine) Last of Seattle used a Kevin Alexander-like deke, dodge and shoot move to rip a shot past the goaltender, who seemed stunned and dazed by the footwork and dazzling stick.

However, all was for naught as the referee had blown his whistle about eight seconds previously.

In Game 3, the Okanagan contingent jumped out to an early 3-0 lead before tiring in a 3-3 draw with Kitimat.

Gord Roberts supplied the first Okanagan snipe before Nitchie was assessed a minor penalty after being savagely taken down with a crushing shoulder check to the solar plexus.

Nitchie awoke from a brief slumber to take on the Kitimat giant and was escorted to the penalty box for unnecessary roughness.

With a 1-0 lead, Okanagan goaltender Tom Frame went to the floor with an apparent lower body injury.

This was wretched news for the rolling Okanagan team as Frame was playing fabulously despite double-hip replacement surgery a few years ago.

Controversy erupted during stoppage time as Kitimat protested the use of a rival team’s net minder, however, Mike (the pseudo-commissioner) intervened and allowed the 50-yearold to step in for Frame.

Nelson pocketed two more on the power play but the normally resilient legs of the aged masters seemed to fail in the third period as sea-level air and humidity played a factor on their conditioning and they surrendered three goals.

Chad Pieper of the Shamrocks was in net for the Vancouver Coasters, winners of the Masters A title.

A mud pup’s story

he majority of mud pups (younger sons of the British upper class sent to the colonies to learn ranching) thrived in the open ranges of the Interior.

But there were a few who made the most of being far from the discipline of home and took full advantage of regular payments from daddy to indulge in a life of leisure. One of these was Edward Robinson, who arrived at Thomas Wood’s ranch in the Okanagan Valley in 1862.

He was the son of

successful businessman, George Robinson, of St. John’s, Nfld., and had no doubt enjoyed a pampered life until he was pushed from the nest to make his own way in life.

Edward Robinson was a mere 17 years of age when he arrived at the Ranch.

Ken Mather Wood Thomas Wood’s first clue to potential problems with Edward was the fact that he had already been apprenticed to a rancher in the Northwest Territories in what is now presentday southern Alberta.

He had been dis-

missed from that position for reasons not determined but it certainly had not been through a propensity for hard work.

However, the offer was one that no struggling rancher could refuse.

Thomas Wood was to receive the princely sum of $1,000 a year to teach Robinson the intricacies of cattle ranching. Robinson’s father offered this amount to cover, “instruction and keep” and also would pay “for damages done by his son.”

Wood soon learned that Robinson was more interested in visiting other young men in the area and in roaming the Okanagan

The only exception to his prolonged truancy was a five-week period the next fall when Robinson helped with haying. For this, he was paid $50, an amount that was well above the going rate at the time for labourers of $1 a day.

Despite Robinson’s obvious indifference to all things to do with ranching, in 1886, his father settled up with Thomas Wood for the first three years of training and asked him to purchase a ranch for his son and stock it with cattle. Wood obtained a ranch and placed $3,000 worth of cattle on it for young Robinson to start out as a rancher. But he did not do this without grave misgivings about Robinson’s ability to carry on the hard work of ranching.

So Wood, a native of St. John’s himself, travelled there to meet with George Robinson face to face. The father was undeterred and offered to cover all additional costs such as his son’s use of Thomas Wood’s horses and stable.

Not surprisingly, a combination of the hard winter of 1886-87 and Robinson’s disregard of his cattle resulted in a complete loss of his herd. When his father heard of this, he paid Wood to re-stock the ranch.

After another difficult winter reduced this second herd of cattle, it was realized by all concerned, even George Robinson, that Edward was not suited for ranching and had better sell off his herd and try some other form of employment.

As a parting gesture, Edward tried to charge Thomas Wood for seven year’s wages that he thought he had coming. Wood’s reaction is not recorded but it is quite certain that Edward Wood left the Okanagan neither richer in cash or in wisdom.

It’s time to get up and get moving. The time for pondering and procrastinating has ended.

Go out and prove to the world that you are capable, intelligent and ready for success. Your biggest problem is your fear of failure.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You will be feeling out of sorts. Spend some quiet time catching up on reading or research.

Most of all, distance yourself from an emotional situation so that you can see things differently.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You have a lot to be grateful for. A lucrative job offer that interests you will pop up. Look for an opportunity and you will find one.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Work hard, but don’t ignore your health. Getting stressed or run-down will damage your ability to be productive, erasing your chances of progress.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) There will be favorable developments in your personal life. If you are attached, you will find a deeper connection with your partner. If you are single, be prepared for an exciting new chapter.

Bridge by Phillip Alder THINK ABOUT ALL OF THE CHOICES Robert Fritz, who developed Structural Dynamics, said, “If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want.”

I have mentioned before that it pays to pause and consider your options, not just play on autopilot.

This deal is another good example. South is in four spades. How should the defense proceed after West leads the heart ace?

When you have 5-4-2-2 distribution and the right count for one no-trump, open in your five-card suit when it is a major.

If the five-card suit is a minor, open one no-trump

with strong doubletons or when your rebid might be uncomfortable if you start with one of your long suit.

Here, if North opens one diamond and South responds one heart, North has an easy one-spade rebid. So North should open one diamond.

After South actually bid one spade, North had just enough to raise to four spades. But if North had settled for three spades, South would probably have raised to game, although he might have rebid three notrump, the game contract that is unbeatable.

After taking the first trick, West will continue with the heart king. But what does he do next?

There are two answers to that question: Cash the club

ace to save the overtrick or take two club tricks! It all depends upon East. He should realize that his side needs two heart and two club winners. So it must be right to ruff his partner’s heart king and shift to a club. As you can see, this is the only way to defeat the contract.

Grandma inspires event organizer Morning Star Staff

Just seeing how ALS affects someone’s life is motivation enough to get involved with the People’s Drug Mart Walk for ALS. For Vernon walk co-ordinator Nichoel Crawford, it was her grandmother, Mina White, who was diagnosed in 2009. She died in March 2013. Watching someone you love deteriorate over time is devastating and can make you feel helpless.

The one thing you can do is walk. Walk for the people who no longer can. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a degenerative disease that slowly affects mobility and speech. Upon diagnosis, the average life expectancy is two to five years.

“There is always hope. As we increase awareness and raise more funds, we are getting closer each day to finding the cure,” said Crawford.

Get involved with the People’s Drug Mart Walk for ALS in Vernon at Polson Park July 13.

Registration is at 9 a.m. and the walk starts at 10.

This year, Crawford hopes to see at least 100 people walking and has a goal of $21,000 to achieve.

Money raised for this event goes to patient services and ALS research: 60 per cent patient services and programs, 40 per cent goes toward ALS research to find the cause and cure.

The ALS Society of B.C. is dedicated to providing direct support to ALS patients, along with their families and caregivers, to ensure the best quality of life possible while living with ALS. For more information contact 250-503-4741 or vernonwalk@alsbc.ca.

and providing us with a second chance to get our homes in order and protect them from wildfire.

We can use whatever excuse we want — I personally like “It will never happen to me!”

The reality is that if we aren’t willing do a few simple things to protect ourselves beforehand, and a significant wildfire event does decide to come to a town near us, there is a good chance that we are going to have a very bad day.

Our best defense against something similar happening to us is and has always been to protect our homes with a Firesmart strategy. So, no excuses this year—it is time for all of us all to become Firesmart.

If you are unfamiliar with how to Firesmart your home, here is a short checklist from the Firesmart manual to get you started and on the right track. It supplies an easy and effortless way to effectively protect your property from the threat of wildfire by making it part of your annual spring home and yard cleanup.

Home: Remove all combustibles (firewood, lumber, debris piles) a minimum of 10 metres away from the house.

Remove all dead needles and leaves from your roof and gutters.

Clean dead needles and leaves and any combustibles from underneath home openings (decks, porches) and skirt or screen those openings.

Ensure all eaves and vents are screened (attic vents, soffits).

Ensure your fireplace chimney is screened, has been recently cleaned, and is free of overhanging branches.

If thinking of changing your roofing, use a ULC class A (non-combustible) roofing material such as metal, clay/ ceramic tile, Unicrete recycled rubber, or asphalt shingle.

Yard: Rake and remove all dead and/or down vegetation (trees, shrubs, needles, leaves, grass) from your yard and within a minimum of three metres from your house.

Remove flammable vegetation next your house (juniper, native grasses, spruce/pine/fir trees).

Keep your grass regularly mowed or weedwhipped and use the sprinkler to keep it green and moist.

Ensure your outdoor fire pit is in a safe location and surrounded by a minimum of onemetre non-combustible surface cover (gravel, concrete).

Remove flammable vegetation (grasses, shrubs, trees) for a minimum three-metre area surrounding your propane tank.

Other: Develop an evacuation plan and ensure all family members are aware of it.

Ensure you have enough hose and sprinklers to reach the top of your roof and a ladder to install them when necessary.

Have some fire tools on-hand in a readily accessible spot (axe, shovel, water can).

Vernon Fire Rescue Services sincerely hopes that you and your family experience a fantastic Okanagan summer.

Enjoy our lakes and stay safe from wildfire.

Lawrie Skolrood is deputy fire chief with the Vernon Fire Department.

Sisters are the Heart of rock ‘n roll

A

nn Wilson performed 13 Heart songs and a cover of Paul McCartney and Wings’ Let Me Roll It Saturday night at Prospera Place.

She followed up with eight deluxe ditties in a rousing Led Zeppelin set with Jason Bonham on drums.

The ageless Wilson should have added The Beatles’ classic When I’m Sixty-Four to her playlist. The words: “Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m sixty-four?” would have drawn a positive response.

The answer from 3,300 Rockin’ Heaven Tour fans in Kelowna would have been a big-time yes after Wilson, who turned 64 in June, proved her Kevin Mitchell powerful voice can still hum in a two-hour concert attended by a predominantly 45-plus crowd.

Wilson has been sober and drug-free since 2009. She has suffered panic attacks because of cruel publicity about her weight.

On stage, she’s truly beautiful inside and out. She even told “Mr. Security Man” to back off hassling some overzealous frontrow fans.

“They’re just having fun,” said Wilson, who entered the stage wearing all black with funky golden high top shoes, and quickly joined sister, Nancy, 60, in rocking out on Barracuda.

Ann tried to address the concert-goers after the opening hit, but adoring fans drowned her out with applause.

“Here’s a song we wrote a long time ago in Vancouver, off our second album, Little

ConCert review

Queen,” said Ann, who then cruised into Heartless.

A backdrop of five vertical panel screens flashed abstract lighting all night, but most people had their eyes fastened to the California-born sisters who formed Heart in 1974, in Seattle. They soon gained a huge following in B.C., playing a packed Vernon Rec Centre in their early years.

After nailing Kick It, Even It Up and Straight On, Nancy told the crowd Heart was in town to celebrate rock and roll before doing a fabulous rendition of Let Me Roll It. “Anybody remember the ‘80s?” asked Ann, whose voice touched the roof and drew a huge cheer for the sweet love ballad, These Dreams, and a standing ovation for the following Alone.

Ann waxed on about how most songs approved by management were made for radio with some hitting the trash despite the band’s opinion. They played Mashallah “for the people” and received good response.

Monster singles Magic Man and Crazy On You, which started with Nancy strumming her Gibson rhythm guitar madly for two minutes, ended the opening set. The rink went bonkers afterwards.

Heart, who have sold 35 million records, didn’t play giant hit All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You, but had to leave room for the Led Zeppelin covers.

The Wilson sisters were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013, one year after being asked to perform a tribute to Led Zeppelin at the Kennedy Center Honors. Ann brought tears of joy to Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant with Stairway to Heaven. The video earned millions of hits and thus, the Led Zeppelin set

Heart’s Nancy and Ann Wilson give an emotionally charged performance at Kelowna’s Prospera Place Saturday. with dynamic drummer Jason Bonham, son of the late Zeppelin drummer, John.

While the sound may have been a little loud for some of the baby boomers, Ann and company – drummer Ben Smith held the sticks beside Bonham for a few songs, lead guitarist Craig Bartock, bass Dan Rothchild and keyboardist Debbie Shair – covered the English rockers with panache.

Heart opened the set with Ann and Nancy sitting on stools up front strumming guitars to play Battle of Evermore before they followed with a few heavier rock tunes, ignoring popular singles Whole Lotta Love

and Rock And Roll.

Ann topped the two-hour show with a dazzling Stairway to Heaven, accompanied by the nine-piece Okanagan Singers, who were buried in the corner and could barely be heard from most seats.

Deafening applause followed and the band then joined hands and bowed three times as the house lights flicked on. There was no encore.

Heart landed in Kelowna after concerts in Calgary and Edmonton. They played Canada Day closer to home, in Redmond, Wash.

Vernon singer hopes to be ‘The One’ at Ottawa Bluesfest Morning Star Staff

In just one day, Vernon songstress Olivia Penalva performs for one of her biggest audiences yet in the nation’s capital.

The 14-year-old singer-songwriter has been selected as a finalist in the She’s the One emerging female artist competition hosted by RBC Bluesfest in Ottawa.

Out of thousands of young female applicants all lMW PhotoS across Canada, Penalva has been chosen to compete Vernon’s Olivia Penalva, 14, is off alongside nine other aspiring singer-songwriters, to Ottawa to compete in the finals ages 13 to 19, in the teenage category of competiof the She’s the One singing compe- tion.

The finals take place at Bluesfest, one of the largtition at the RBC Bluesfest.

est music festivals in Canada, Saturday.

“I’m very thankful for the opportunity to be heading to Ottawa for the Bluesfest this year for the finals of the She’s the One competition,” said Penalva. “It is truly an honour to know that I was picked to be in the finals and I can’t wait for all the fun.”

As a finalist, Penalva is vying for a chance to win this year’s grand prize: a career building trip to Los Angeles to work with top L.A.-based producer Barrett Yerestian (Chistina Perri) and record an original song at the legendary Sunset Sound Recording Studios.

The She’s the One winner will also receive a

superstar makeover and photo shoot before filming a Hollywood-style music video courtesy of Popmania. She will also receive a guitar from Daisy Rock Girl Guitars.

Ottawa is not the only place that will get to experience Penalva’s vocal stylings this summer.

She just wrapped up a performance at Salmon Arm’s Wednesdays on the Wharf and will next perform at the Minstrel Café in Kelowna July 18 as well as Kelowna’s Lille Gard Festival July 26.

In August, she performs at the Harmony Arts Festival in West Vancouver and at Ex Nihilo Vineyards in Lake Country alongside local favourite Andrew Allen (Aug. 22 and 23).

levelled Chicago, all alien robots are deemed a threat.

T h e C I A begins a black op Taylor and Howe run by Harold Atinger (Kelsey Grammer) called Cemetery Wind to round them all up.

A down on his luck mechanic and part time inventor Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg) purchases what he thinks is a run-down truck with the hopes of making a profit. The truck turns out to be the damaged leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime.

Yeager revives Optimus Prime in time to escape being captured by Cemetery Wind and they reunite the remaining Autobots.

After it is discovered that Cemetery Wind is working in conjunction with an alien bounty hunter, the humans and Autobots must work together to save the planet from becoming a lifeless mining colony.

We say, “It’s a three hour Saturday morning commercial.”

Dogs (and cats) cool themselves by panting and by releasing heat through their paws. The hot air and upholstery in vehicles prevents dogs from cooling themselves.

Optimus Prime plays nice with Mark Wahlberg in Transformers: Age of Extinction.

TAYLOR: I’m 42, which means I still remember when we had less TV channels than I can count on one hand.

I grew up in Armstrong, so it was CHBC, BCTV, the Knowledge Network and fuzzy HBO off the repeater. Even if you had more channels, it wasn’t too many more. Those were the days when Saturday mornings were for kids cartoons. When cable came along in the 1980s, we became introduced to a plethora of new cartoons and I stopped caring.

By the time Transformers came around I had more interesting things taking up my time and this phenomenon continues to this day.

HOWE: I beat you by a couple of years, but I will agree with you, I had no interest in the Transformers either.

Saying that, I knew who or what they were, due to having two younger siblings. As for the film series, I really enjoyed the first one, lots of action and some things we hadn’t seen on the big screen before. Now after the fourth installment it feels like every year there is a new Transformers movie and it’s getting really stale. In fact, I had only watched the third one for 10 minutes before turning it off, it was that bad. I don’t know if this one is meant to tie in with the third.

TAYLOR: If you mean in terms of badness, then perhaps. Director Michael Bay is the king of badness, by that I mean, he’s not a very good filmmaker. He has a certain cheesy American machismo that keeps him in business, making films about toys to

entertain boys.

All you need are some shiny smart alecks, sexy teenage girls and explosions. If you capture that with extreme camera angles, slow motion and a flag flapping in every scene, you’ve got yourself a winner. If this is a formula that you enjoy, then by all means, see the nearly three hours that is Transformers: Age of Extinction.

HOWE: The last hour gave me a headache, nothing more really needs to be said.

- Howe gives Transformers: Age of Extinction 2 spanners out of 5.

- Taylor gives it 2 decades before robot soldiers are real out of 5.

The film is currently playing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Singers needed to perform at Okanagan Military Tattoo THE

A new choir needs vocalists, young and old, experienced or not, to perform at one of the biggest events of the summer.

A massed choir is being formed to sing at the inaugural Okanagan Military Tattoo, taking place at Kal Tire Place Aug. 1 and 2.

The event will fea-

ture local and visiting pipe, brass and reed bands, dancers, drill teams, and singers.

Led by Molly Boyd, former leader of the Vernon Community Singers, the choir will sing both on its own and with the bands.

“Songs will include the national anthem, The Maple Leaf Forever,

Amazing Grace, and a medley of I Vow to Thee, My Country and Land of Hope and Glory during the tribute to the veterans,” said Boyd.

“The singing will be in unison (melody only) and the main ingredient is enthusiasm.”

Those interested in participating can attend rehearsals July 28 at 6

Four strong winds will be blowing into Salmon Arm’s Roots and Blues Festival this summer, with the announcement that Canadian legend Ian Tyson is headlining the main stage Saturday, Aug. 16.

The iconic singer and songwriter turned 80 last September, and his energy remains undimmed.

Tyson is also celebrating the complete recovery of his voice, badly damaged six years ago, when he was forced to learn, with courage and craftsmanship, to sing with what he calls “my new voice.”

That voice can be heard on Tyson’s most recent albums, Yellowhead to Yellowstone (2008) and Raven Singer (2012), featuring a wide range of new songs

Ian Tyson headlines the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival Saturday, Aug 16. presented in an intimate, arresting and heart-to-heart manner.

After surgery to remove vocal polyps in late 2012, followed by intensive vocal therapy, Tyson’s voice is said to be as golden as ever.

Tyson leads two busy, vigorous lives: There’s the ranch south of Calgary, in the foothills of the Rockies, with fences to mend, quarter horses to train, cattle to move, land to conserve. And, there are concert stages, from Elko, Nevada to Billings, Montana, from San Francisco to Toronto, New York, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Los Angeles and in any given year, another 30 or 40 cities, including headlining at the 22nd annual Roots and Blues Festival.

This schedule may seem ominous for an octogenarian, but it’s old hat for Tyson. In the past 12 years, he has released five albums, filmed a music docu-

mentary for Canada’s Bravo! TV channel (which has earned two international film and television awards) and issued This is My Sky – a two-DVD concert video.

Two years ago, Tyson penned a surprising autobiography, The Long Trail: My Life in the West, which continues as a best seller, having sold close to 30,000 copies so far.

As a songwriter, Tyson’s songbook has been mined by his peers for half a century and that expanding songbook will be his lasting legacy despite his international success as a performing and recording artist.

Four Strong Winds alone has been recorded by a remarkable cast of artists that includes Neil Young, Johnny Cash, Tony Rice, Waylon Jennings, Judy Collins, Bob Dylan, Marianne Faithful and Blue Rodeo.

In 2006, it was chosen as Canada’s No. 1 song of the 20th century by CBC listeners.

Suzy Bogguss, Jennifer Warnes, Nanci Griffth, David Bromberg, Tom Russell, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott and The McDades are just a few of the artists who have recorded other Tyson-penned gems including Someday Soon and Summer Wages.

Tyson has continued to be honoured for his achievements. After numerous Canadian Country Music Awards, membership in the Juno Awards Hall of Fame and three honorary doctorates, he is also a member of the Order of Canada.

Meanwhile, the songs and stories keep coming and they remain as true as a well-worn saddle. Tyson’s newest collection is All the Good ‘Uns Vol 2. He continues to supervise his working ranch in southern Alberta as he reflects on a five-decade musical career which has produced some of the most beloved modern cowboy songs.

As a national icon and living legend, Tyson’s Saturday, Aug. 16 performance at the 2014 Roots & Blues Festival is sure to generate memories that will last a lifetime.

The festival runs Aug. 15 to 17 at the Salmon Arm Fairground. Discounted weekend passes are available until Aug. 8. Day passes are also now available.

For tickets go to www.rootsandblues.ca., or call 250-833-4096 for more information.

At 81, he’s still going strong Willie Nelson: Band of Brothers

A

t 81 years old and 50-plus albums, Willie Nelson is a clear eyed reporter of world weary choices, moody regret and aw shucks bad assery.

On Band of Brothers,

his first mainly original album in over a decade, Nelson reasserts his songwriting mastery in an album replete with his end-of-the-night chord patterns and western swing/country pop hybrid songs.

Nelson’s vigorous work ethic has kept his tremulous voice in solid form (as a vocal stylist, his shaky voice is singular.) Producer Buddy Cannon’s highlighting of Nelson’s voice and rickety, elegant guitar work dovetail sweetly into the relaxed songs of Band of Brothers – an unhurried collection of classic Nelson themes of camaraderie (Guitar in the Corner), the road (Band of Brothers) and wayward love (Wives and Girlfriends).

This album shines

Street SouNdS

Dean Gordon-Smith

light on Nelson’s songs which, along with his voice, are ageless because they’ve always sounded old.

Both are strong and confident, shaded by darkness and humour: He’s no serious prophet but he’s a wry observer of basic situations who turns simple sentiments into roadside wisdom.

Nelson has always had an ear for the “whatever happens,” the type of view as heard on Used to Hear: “I wish I wasn’t used to her back then,

I could have picked a good girl who did not crave other men/ I wish I wasn’t used to her back then.”

Band of Brothers is focused on Nelson’s ensemble, playing western swing songs and easy excursions into bluesy sounds (The Git Go, Hard to Be an Outlaw).

His workhorse musical output has kept his vocal/guitar and songwriting skills vital and pleasantly weathered. This album hones in on all three of his talents with emphasis on the latter. He gives an insight to his longevity and drive on The Songwriters: “We write bridges, we cross ‘em and burn ‘em/Teach lessons but don’t bother to learn ‘em.”

Students in the Charles Bloom secondary school forestry program get busy planting trees at the school’s own woodlot, where students spend three days per week during the semester.

Students seek, sort, create, build and install Bryan Out

Special to The Morning Star

The Charles Bloom forestry program is a one-semester program that has students learning about planning, harvesting and sustaining a woodlot. The school has its own woodlot (Woodlot 1908) that the students work on three days per week for the semester.

Students learn and practise chainsaw operation and maintenance, heavy duty equipment operation, and the processes required to take a fallen tree from the woodlot to the mill.

This past school year we were given a grant to create, build and install two information kiosks for our woodlot.

Working with our forestry teacher, students created and developed the plans for the kiosks. Structural considerations regarding the placement of the kiosks and withstanding the outdoor elements were all taken into consideration.

After the designs were created, the students, working with the forestry teacher and our professional logger who works in the program, selected wood from our school woodlot that could be used in building the kiosks. On shop days,

students prepared the wood, purchased appropriate materials, and constructed the information kiosks. To construct the kiosks, students learned and utilized project planning skills, designed and built roof trusses, designed and built a tin roof, site selection and preparation skills, and selected and processed wood from the woodlot The woodlot is to be used as an outdoor classroom for Charles Bloom secondary. As a result, the forestry students cleared a trail from the road up into the woodlot that could be used by classes for hiking, snow shoeing, tree identification or other learning experiences associated with the woodlot.

In order for users to have a map of the trail, students used a GPS to map the trail and overlay this on a map of the woodlot. These maps have been installed on the kiosks, with one of the kiosks being at the trail head by the road.

To further support our outdoor classroom, an education/ information poster was created for the kiosk. This poster identifies tree species, provides information about the trail and woodlot, items to be aware of, and acknowledges the

WPDC and FBCWA for the funding support of the kiosks.

Once completed, the students and teacher determined the placement of the kiosks, dug the holes, and installed the kiosks.

The hands-on learning that students experience in the Charles Bloom Secondary forestry program is second to none. Students are prepared to work in a safe manner in a variety of sectors (forestry, oil and gas, construction, agriculture) and the added experience of the design, create-andbuild kiosk project enhanced the learning in the forestry program.

Thanks to the funding support from the Woodlot Product Development Council and the Federation of British Columbia Woodlot Association for these kiosks, forestry students learned valuable skills that they can apply in the future and our outdoor classroom has been enhanced for other students, classes and community members to utilize and enjoy.

Babysitting, home alone and first aid programs are available in Vernon through the summer Morning Star Staff

Summer is here and the Kelowna and District Safety Council is offering a roster of fun safety programs for children ages eight to 12 in Vernon.

In addition to its ever-popular babysitter training courses, the KDSC is also presenting home alone and first aid courses, all of which will be held at the People Place.

“These are great, confidence-boosting courses for kids,” said KDSC executive director Tania Meyer. “Now that summer is here, many kids will find themselves home alone while parents are working and the traditional teenage babysitters are out in the work force. We’re trying to offer programs that will equip kids with the knowledge and skills they’ll need to be safer when they are on their own.

“At the same time, they have a lot of fun and really feel empowered when they

learn new skills such as first aid and how to react in new situations.”

Open to boys and girls ages 10 and up, the babysitter training course is scheduled for July 17 and Aug. 7 and 19. A course is also scheduled for the Pro-D day Sept. 27.

Each course costs $60 and runs from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and includes a supervised lunch break.

The KDSC has added a new module to the course called the business of babysitting, which will surely appeal to young entrepreneurs, said Meyer, adding many other important topics will be discussed, including rights and responsibilities, age-related developmental and behavioral characteristics of children, child care, nutrition, injury prevention, and emergencies.

Kids ages eight to 10 can now take the Canada Safety Council’s three-hour home alone course July 22.

Kids will learn about house keys, strangers, proper use of a telephone, what to do when feeling scared, how to establish a daily routine, manage their time, identify their responsibilities, demonstrate what to do in case of an emergency and how and when to call 911. Cost is $40.

“The KDSC is also now offering

Canadian Red Cross’ first aid courses, and these are great on their own or as supplements to the home alone and babysitter training courses,” said Meyer.

Level 3 first aid ($35) is targeted to eight to 10 year olds and Level 4 ($45) is targeted to 10 to 12 year olds.

Both courses cover calling for help, choking, bleeding, comfort, poisons, and burns at age-appropriate levels.

Level 4 delves into the topics in more depth and also discusses broken bones and unconsciousness.

Courses will run July 16 and 22. As home alone and first aid are half-day courses, some are scheduled so that participants can take both courses on the same day, with a supervised lunch hour.

The KDSC is a non-profit, community organization that has been running children’s programs since 1980. The council also operates the province’s largest motorcycle training facility outside of the Lower Mainland, as well as a GLP-approved driver training facility.

Simple online registration for all courses is available and parents can save $5 per program by registering online. Visit www. kdsc.bc.ca to register or for more information, or call the KDSC at 1-888-580-7233.

support services that will allow them to remain in their own homes longer.

The program, delivered locally by NexusBC Community Resource Centre, offers simple, necessary services such as light housekeeping, grocery shopping, yard work, home repair, and transportation to appointments.

“It is designed for seniors who are independent overall, but require modest help with a few tasks,” said Lisa Roberts, a program coordinator with Better at Home.

The program helps prevent isolation and loneliness, especially among those who are most vulnerable.

“The goal of the program is to help seniors maintain their health and safety in their own homes,” said Roberts, adding it is 100 per cent dependent on funding from the B.C. government, the United Way of the Lower Mainland, and by private donations.

“The demand for the program far exceeds the funding available, which is why we gratefully accept donations and rely heavily on volunteers,” she said.

“Volunteers are the heart and soul of the program. The more volunteers we are able to recruit, the more clients we’ll be able to help.”

Since the April 1 program launch , North

• Sports Injuries, post-surgical rehab, back, neck, shoulder, knee treatments and ICBC claims • One-on-one treatment sessions • Direct Access (no Doctor’s referrals necessary)

Okanagan Better at Home has provided more than 130 services to seniors.

“The difference our volunteers are making in the lives of seniors is profound,” said Roberts.

“We’ve had so many seniors tell us that they wouldn’t know what to do without this program. Our volunteers are making a huge impact, and we hope they know it. Without them, this wouldn’t be possible.”

The program is still looking for more people to volunteer.

“Whether you live in Vernon, Armstrong, Lumby or Cherryville, if you have even two hours per week, a senior in your community could use your help,” said Roberts.

Volunteers are needed to drive seniors to appointments or for grocery shopping.

“Not being able to go anywhere you want, whenever you want, feels like a prison sentence to many seniors.

Driving a senior to the doctor, or for groceries helps restore their sense of independence and empowerment,” said Roberts.

Volunteers are also needed to help with doing light yard work and minor home repair.

“Assisting a senior with simple chores around the house is also greatly appreciated, from changing a light bulb to replacing a lock.”

Anyone wishing to donate or to volunteer is asked to contact Better at Home program coordinators Lisa Roberts or Patricia Niehaus at 250‐ 545‐0585.

A free criminal record check is conducted on all new volunteers.

seats are supportive and comfortable.

The rear seats too are comfy and slide for and aft for more cargo storage.

When placed in the normal position, the legroom isn’t ample but on par with others in this class. Connecting to the Cherokee is a snap with the optional 8.4-inch Uconnect system that pairs with smartphone in seconds, is very quick between commands, and has nice looking graphics. The base screen is five inches but has many of the same functionality. Behind the steering wheel, inside the instrument cluster, is another programmable screen for all the information the driver needs frequently.

Drive The base 2.4L 4-cylinder with 184hp is the base engine on all trim levels.

For just $1,300 any Cherokee can be equipped with the optional 3.2L V6 engine – making the walk up to this 271hp engine within reach for many buyers. In addition, this is the very first application of a 9-speed automatic anywhere in the auto industry, providing improved fuel economy and drivability. Having a chance to drive both the 4-cylinder and V6 models with the all-new 9-speed automatic, I’m torn. The V6 is the engine of choice for towing, steep mountain

runs and longer distance driving. The flip side is that the 4-cylinder is a very good in-city commuter and the lighter engine helps this Cherokee to corner, brake and manouevre better. The 9-speed automatic shifts quickly and smoothly, in fact I forgot it had so many cogs but it does improve fuel economy with a highway rating of 6.4L/100km with the 4-cylinder and 7.0L with the V6.

Most Canadians will opt for the AWD versions thanks to our winter conditions, but here too there are more choices.

Jeep has included three AWD systems.

The first is a called Active Drive 1 with a selectable drive mode called Select-Terrain, for automatic, snow, mud and sand settings. The second is called Active Drive 2 and offers a two-speed mode for low speed crawling. The most aggressive system is Active Drive Lock, which comes in the off-road purpose-built Cherokee called Trailhawk. The Trailhawk is a ‘real’ Jeep; this is thanks to a locking rear differential and a host of electronic aids. The most impressive feature is the low speed crawling mode for both up and down hill tasks. Therefore, Jeep purists, yes there is a Cherokee for you.

Verdict This new Cherokee is off to a fantastic start. Sales are strong and the sharp design is bringing in buyers, not shoving them away. The 2014 Cherokee could not be further away from the last model; this is a thoroughly modern SUV with go-anywhere capability and aroundtown refinement that needs to be experienced.

Chrysler 200 similar but better than Sebring

by Bob McHugh

The Chrysler 200 was introduced for the 2011 model year and replaced the outgoing Sebring.

It’s available as a mid-sized sedan, with coupe-like styling and a roomy interior, as a hard or soft top convertible with two doors and four seats.

The 200 is based on the same chassis as the outgoing Sebring but came with revised suspension geometry, stiffer body mounts, a raised roll centre, new sway bars and a wider rear track to improve both its ride and handling. There were also extensive upgrades to reduce cabin noise and these included acoustic lamination of the front door windows and windshield.

The 2011 edition of 200 came in base LX, Touring, Limited and top-line S trim levels. The base engine is a 173-horsepower, 2.4-litre, 16-valve four-cylinder.

A carry-over engine from Sebring, it provides good low-end torque, decent fuel economy and is mated with a reliable four-speed automatic.

City/highway fuel economy is 9.9/6.7 L/100km. Even the LX edition of the 200 comes with a very good equipment package that includes a tilt and telescoping steering wheel, four-wheel disc

The optional and newer 3.6-litre (Pentastar) V6 was a powertrain offering that came with a six-speed automatic.

A quieter and smoother performer than the four-cylinder, this V6 can effortlessly produce 283 horsepower. Highway fuel

economy (6.8 L/100km) is also impressive and almost the same as the base four-cylinder. Its city rating, however, is 11.0 L/100km.

The Chrysler 200 Convertible was available with the choice of two automatic-latching power tops. There’s a light-weight fabric-top with a glass back window or a (body colour) fully-retractable steel hard-top. Both types

of folding top can also be lowered or raised remotely via the owner’s key fob, which is a neat feature.

In addition to being less expensive, the fabric-top is more compact when folded and allows more cargo space in the trunk. The hard-top, on the other hand, can provide a quieter cabin for occupants while driving and it’s more secure when parked.

Active safety improved with the addition of both electronic stability control and traction control systems as standard equipment in all editions for the 2012 model year. Otherwise, the 200 was unchanged. Some new paint choices were added for the 2013 model year, but other than that the 200 was again unchanged.

The 200 comes with an up-to-date complete passive safety package and its crash safety test ratings have been top-notch, both for the sedan and the convertible. In fact, the sedan achieved “Top Safety Pick” status with the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety).

Consumer Reports rates the 200 as “below average” for predicted reliability, “above average” for owner satisfaction and “average” for owner costs.

Used prices are reasonable, from a buyer perspective, and there appears to be a good supply of sedans, but not too many convertibles, out there for sale.

The Limited trim level visually adds 18inch polished aluminum wheels, dual exhaust tailpipes and inside upgrades include leather-faced seats.

Like most Chrysler products the 200 offers high content and value, and it’s a good looking car. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

UTVs make for hot summer fun The explosion of utility terrain vehicles on the market the last five years has been incredible.

Popularity has never been this high.

The 2014 Polaris RZR XP 1000 is at the top of its class. Rarely do you see a UTV like this offered to the public.

Often you would have to go to a Baja race to see these machines perform.

0-30 in 2.26 seconds and 0-50 in 5.33 seconds without any aftermarket add-ons. Wow. The XP delivers excitement at any speed. The on demand AWD system makes cornering at high speeds incredibly easy. The long travel suspension makes the bumps feel like pebbles on a highway. All the instruments are conveniently located so you can access them quickly without losing site of the trail ahead of you.

I noticed how much leg room the XP has leg. After having driven an earlier model that was always a concern.

Interior The interior features a high performance tilt able steering wheel that is easy to grip and performs very well at high speeds. LED interior lights and very comfortable seats that have being beefed up to hold you in position and feature a new dry seat technology the resists moisture. They also have sliders on them to adjust for legroom.

The factory installed doors have an easy one handed security latch and offer an optional accessory lower door section which I recommend to purchase right away. This keeps a lot of debris of your legs.

Having driven many off-road vehicles in my career and in many challenging conditions, I found UTVs to be an extension to the off-road experience.

You can go places that you would not normally attempt because of road conditions or overgrown vegetation that limits most vehicles without

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden, and tragic passing of Ryan Cole Erskine on Saturday, June 21, 2014. Ryan was born in Edmonton, Alberta on August 30, 1984.

Ryan always had a smile on his face, and was instantly liked by anyone who had the pleasure to meet him. He was the life of any gathering, always quick-witted and full of laughter. He was also the first in line to help anybody that required assistance of any kind. His love and caring for those around him was never ending.

Ryan leaves to mourn his extended, loving family; partner, Alecia Dominick with son Cooper Brian Cole Erskine (14 months) and step-daughter Victoria Dominick (3 years), of Enderby, B.C. Also, NaTasha Wray (Brandon) with son Michael Wray Courtorielle (11 years), daughter Breanna Lexus Wray Erskine (8 years) of Vernon, B.C., and son Blaiz Robert Brown (15 years) of Whitecourt, Alberta; sister, and best friend, Angie Erskine (Darryl), with loving nieces Amy Sky, Savanna, Lairisa, and Cavel of Edmonton, Alberta; stepfather Frank Hall, and brother Jake Hall of Vernon, B.C; cousin Tracey, and life-long friend Amy Debrois.

Ryan was also loved and will be sadly missed by his life-long adopted family: “Mom and Dad” Greg and Penny Robinson of Ashton Creek; sister, Kristie (Jason) Wadsworth with sons Jessiah, Jaxon, and Jayden of Lumby; brothers: Darren Robinson with daughters Jasmine, and Emma of Enderby, Justin (Ayla) Robinson with children Larissa and Emmett, of Enderby, Bradley, Ryan’s soul mate and life-long best friend (Stacey), with sons Kaylen and Slade.

Application for a Permit Under The Provisions of the Environmental Management Act We, Pinnacle Renewable Energy Inc., 8545 Willow Cale Road, Prince George, BC, intend to submit this application to the Director for the discharge of air emissions from a wood pellet plant. The sources of discharge are four stacks for two belt dryers and a multi-cyclone ¿ltration system associated with the plant equipment.

NOTICE of COMMERCIAL LIEN #79-563875300 by Secured Party MUSHROOM FARM INC. for $128,120.00 upon Debtors: CREDIT BUREAU OF VERNON LTD., Street#1-3316A 30th Avenue, Vernon, British Columbia, and its officer: Neil Stewart, and Manager: Mike Jackson. See PPSA register 015256 I

The land upon which the facility will be situated and the discharge will occur is located on the north side of the railroad tracks directly adjacent to the Tolko Industries Ltd., Lavington Sawmill; 50.23°N, 119.10°W. The operating period for this facility will be 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. The contaminant discharge will consist of particulate matter calculated as PM10 and PM2.5.

The maximum rate of PM10 emissions discharged from this facility will be 8.8 kg/ hour, with up to 3.0 kg/hour from the four dryer stacks and 5.8kg/hour from the multicyclone system. The maximum rate of PM2.5 emissions discharged from this facility will be 5.3 kg/hour, with up to 2.0 kg/hour from the four dryer stacks and 3.3 kg/hour from the multi-cyclone system.

Emission estimates of PM10 and PM2.5 from the two dryers were calculated based on a maximum PM concentration of 15 mg/Nmñ, and a maximum dryer Àow rate of 236,108 Nm³/hr per dryer based on information from the manufacturers. The size fraction distributions of 0.86 and 0.57 for PM10 and PM2.5, respectively, were based on stack testing from a similar facility. Dryer emissions will occur through four 12.5 meter tall stacks.

A multi-cyclone ¿ltration system was proposed to reduce the particulate matter PM concentrations emitted from the cooling and hammering equipment associated with the production facility. Emission estimates of PM10 and PM2.5 were calculated based on the maximum concentration of 50 mg/m³ as per the manufacturer speci¿cations and the maximum permitted Àow rate of 40 Nm³/s. The size fraction distributions of 0.75 and 0.43 for PM10 and PM2.5, respectively, were based on the previous Pinnacle stack testing at Pinnacle Williams Lake January 28, 2010.
