Some mothers just can’t help themselves. This is the case at Farmer Val’s in Coldstream, where a hen has adopted nine orphaned ducklings. The mother hen happily clucks and scratches as her ducklings flit around her jumping in and out of a pan of water. Val Buchanan, of Farmer Val’s Farm Tours, had duck eggs brought to her hobby farm after their nest was found by a neighbour in a freshly hayed field, with no sign of the parents. — Val Buchanan She had a broody hen (one that wants to sit on eggs) so she sat the standard chicken on the eggs and 24 hours later she had nine ducklings, or dickens as she likes to call them. “She (the hen) is very protective and worries about them all day swimming, she takes them into the chicken house at night and waits for them all to get ready for bed,” said Buchanan. Once the ducks get old enough she will set them free on the natural pond on her property, where wild ducks visit, to join a flock. Buchanan is confident that they will return to the farm one day because female ducks usually return to the place they were raised to lay their eggs. She had a hen raise a duck seven years ago and she has returned every year to have her babies. Buchanan has lived at the Coldstream Creek Road farm her whole life. Her family, the Seymours, have been on the property since the early 1900s.

Fields aren’t for the dogs
Morning Star Staff

2009 PONTIAC G5 SE COUPE
A tight leash remains on dogs at a Vernon park. Despite some public complaints about enforcement of rules, the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee won’t back off new signs that insist dogs must be on-leash in specified areas at Marshall Field. “There are a lot of dog owners but it shouldn’t supersede sports field users and never endanger anyone,” said director Maria Besso. Dogs have only ever been allowed on a leash around the perimeter of Marshall Field and not on the sports fields at any time. But new signs outlining the rules were installed after an adult was bitten by a dog and had to be sent to hospital for treatment. “The person who was attacked was lining the field for a kids’ soccer game,” said director Bob Fleming, adding that the situation could have been far worse had the victim been a child. GVAC officials insist that such incidents create liability for taxpayers as public safety in parks is paramount. “I’ve treated a lot of dog bites and bites involving children are traumatic for many years,” said director Rob Sawatzky, who is a retired physician. There have been about 15 reported attacks at Marshall Field since 2004. “Dogs off-leash are also attacking dogs on the leash,” said Pat Kilt, with K9 Dog Control. Other issues also arise from dogs at large. “When dogs are allowed to run off-leash and do their business, it’s often not recovered,” said Juliette Cunningham, GVAC chairperson. Reinforcement of the rules hasn’t gone over well with some residents. “We have had signs vandalized and removed,” said Tannis Nelson, community development co-ordinator. Beyond Marshall Field, dogs off-leash are also a problem in other parks, with about 15 warnings issued a day in Greater Vernon. “I have one fellow (officer) who goes from park to park all day, every day,” said Ellis.

Food bank ready to harvest generosity Lisa VanderVeLde Morning Star Staff
An apple a day keeps the doctor away. The benefits of eating fresh fruit and vegetables are well known, and with the help of local farmers and residents, the Salvation Army’s Vernon food bank is making sure everyone has access to a healthy meal. The Salvation Army’s gleaning program provides volunteers to help people with an abundance of produce to harvest their food and donate a portion of it to local non-profit groups. The produce sharing works by the person donating the food keeping one third, the volunteers who harvest keeping one third, and the last third going to the Salvation Army and given to those in need in our community. “We are looking to expand our volunteer and donor base,” said David MacBain community ministries director of the Salvation Army. Donors can be anyone from farmers to a resident with a fruit tree or vegetable garden and all they have to do is call the Salvation Army to arrange for their crop to be picked. The program has had a lot of help from the Vernon Farmers Market. They have had 1,500 pounds of fresh produce donated from local farmers since the start of this year’s market. “I love seeing people leaving with their carts full of greens with big grins on their faces,” said gleaning co-ordinator Monique Mazereeuw.
Lisa VanderVeLde/Morning star
Monique Mazereeuw, gleaning co-ordinator, and david MacBain, salvation army community ministries director, show some of the produce donated to them by the Vernon Farmers Market. Some of the organizations that benefit from the program are the Upper Room Mission, First Nations Friendship Centre, prenatal and daycare programs and North
Okanagan Family Resource Centre. The goal of the program is to distribute as much food around the community and reduce the amount of food wasted. Last year
a total of 6,349 pounds of food was gleaned. To become a volunteer or donor, contact Monique at 250-307-7770 or email SAgleaning@live.ca
Intersections dominate talk with minister richard rolke
Morning Star Staff
Planning to improve two dangerous intersections appears to be underway, but there’s no guarantee as to when work could be done. Local politicians were provided with updates on Highway 97 at Stickle and Birnie roads while meeting with Transportation Bob Fleming Minister Todd Stone Wednesday. “They are aware of the issues surrounding these intersections and in August, they will make a presentation to us,”
said Bob Fleming, BX-Swan Lake director. “They’ve come up with some options and they’re supposed to reveal that in August. They said they know they need to be done.” However, Fleming and his colleagues were warned that any safety upgrades at the intersections will depend on the ministry’s financial situation. “We will keep lobbying and trying to move these projects up the priority list,” said Fleming. Stone also met with City of Vernon representatives and the talks focused on congestion along 32nd Street (Highway 97). “There are a series of left-turn issues through the community,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky.
SUNGLASSES.
“The minister and his staff are well aware of those issues.” Stone told local elected officials that his staff is working on a 10-year plan for rural and side roads. “It’s important to keep the highways in good shape but those feeder roads are important,” said Jackie Pearase, director for rural Enderby. Funding and upgrades for rural roads fall under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transportation. “The No. 1 call any electoral area director gets is the condition of roads in their area,” said Pearase. “People depend on those roads to get on with life.”

Funtastic gesture hits the right note Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Nazareth may have been the star of the show at the A&W Funtastic Music Festival last Friday night, but it’s a local fan who is now in the spotlight. Choking back tears of joy, Fred Strukoff explains how the selfless act of one lady had a profound impact that night. Strukoff was among the hundreds of people at the concert Friday with Robert, an individual who is part of the North Okanagan Community Life Society. Robert (whose last name is being withheld for privacy) has cerebral palsy and speech impairment. Pushing Robert around in his wheelchair, Strukoff scanned the grounds for a spot to park with a good view of the stage. That’s when they met Marla. Marla approached the two, and after a quick chat, she parted the crowd all the way down to the security fence at centre stage. “She pushed everybody out of the way,” said Strukoff, who assisted Robert down to the best seats in the house. “He was elated, I could tell just by the look on his face,” said Strukoff of Robert’s

Marla Maxwell made the Nazareth concert at Funtastic memorable for two fans. excitement. What Marla did that day was more than just a nice gesture, it made a real difference in both of the men’s lives. “Kindness and compassion like this doesn’t happen everyday,” said Strukoff. It was the icing on the cake to an already unbelievable night for Strukoff. “I’ve been a Nazareth fan since I was a kid and I’ve never been to a concert,” he said through happy tears. Then Wednesday, reading The Morning Star, Strukoff couldn’t believe his eyes as he flipped to the front of the Arts section and there was Marla, with her Nazareth emblazed top
“It must be a sign,” he said of the fact that out of all the fans in the crowd, there was a picture of Marla Maxwell in the paper. He immediately called the newspaper to share his story of how this kind woman made a difference in the lives of two fans that night – in hopes that Maxwell will see it. “That is much more than a pretty face. She’s got a lot of heart. “On behalf of the staff at NOCLS, Robert and myself, I can’t thank you enough Marla.” Upon hearing of the kind act, NOCLS executive director Garry Molitwenik adds: “It’s just great that there’s acceptance in the community.”

“Topsoil reclamation would be augmented by soil salvaged from construction within road right-of-way adjacent to the south side of the property thus increasing soil fertility and enhancing the site.” Mike Macnabb, the BX-Silver Star director who represents Brentwood Road, voted against forwarding Mertion’s non-farm use application to the land commission. “The agrologist did not convince me that it would be an improvement to agriculture and
Child rescued by lifeguards at city pool Morning Star Staff
A child is alive thanks to staff at the Vernon Recreation Complex pool. In early June, a two-year-old boy became separated from his family while at the pool and when found by his father, he was motionless in the water. “The child was passed to a lifeguard on the deck, who immediately recognized that the boy was in respiratory distress,” said Gary Lefebvre, aquatics co-ordinator. “The lifeguard immediately initiated lifesaving procedures until the boy began showing signs of recovery.” At the same time, a second lifeguard called 911 while a third guard followed protocol and cleared both pools.
A fourth guard was radioed and arrived on deck to assist. When the ambulance arrived, the child was responsive and taken to hospital. The boy was kept in hospital overnight for observation, but was home the next day. Two days later, he was back at the pool for swimming lessons. “This incident is a reminder that we need to be vigilant with children when around water, especially with children under the age of seven”, said Lefebvre. “The aquatic centre’s rules require children under seven years of age to be within arm’s reach of someone 16 years of age or older at all times. Drowning can occur in as little as 15 to 30 seconds.”
gravel extraction could be a detriment to anyone nearby involved in agriculture,” he said, adding that neighbours are concerned about dust and noise. “There’s the hours of operation and truck traffic. Their concerns are quite legitimate. As elected representatives, we need to bring their concerns forward.”

A special event Friday will honour the life of AJ Cleary and provide support for his wife Laura and their baby Adrian. nurses at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Cleary, aka Turbo, OJ and “one of the nicest dudes ever,” was also an avid mountain biker, and coach, who was routinely riding the trails at Silver Star. With a passion for adventure, Cleary experienced a lot. But the fact that he left behind his wife and their unborn child has brought the community together to support the baby. “I’m so surprised by it and touched and overwhelmed by the
community support,” said Laura Cleary, who is due Aug. 9. Laura doesn’t know if she is having a boy or a girl, but she already has the name picked out – Adrian. “I’m going to be naming the baby after him,” said Laura, as AJ’s full name is Adrian John. AJ’s parents are also impressed by the support that has surrounded their son. So much in fact, that are flying in from Newfoundland to take part in the event.
“His parents are both so touched and so grateful.” While AJ loved inspiring and connecting with people, Laura says he would have been amazed at just how many lives he did touch. “I think he would have been surprised that he had such an impact.” For Sarah Vincent, who didn’t even know AJ, it’s been a fulfilling experience organizing the event in honour of her friend (Laura’s) husband.

“These properties are for development. They’re not annexed to farm.” Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director, says there is a need for the provincial government to clarify the role of electoral areas. “If the city continues to bring forward applications, how do we effectively plan if there’s a crap-shoot with what properties Vernon will take in?” he said. “We have no certainty. Applications come in and the city automatically approves them.” City officials have previously stated that annexations are needed to extend sewer services to properties with failing septic tanks.
But Macnabb says other options, such as cross-boundary agreements, are used in other communities for sewer, including between Vernon and Coldstream. Vernon officials are aware of the concerns coming from the electoral area directors. “The city is unhappy with being in a position to go against the wishes of the electoral area directors but we want to try and satisfy the request of their own property owners to be accepted into the city,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky. “We are reviewing how we will handle boundary adjustment requests.”
Sawatzky isn’t sure if the city would extend sewer services beyond boundaries, but he says other options for annexation applications are possible. “We could refuse and say no or we could stay with the current process,” he said.
Illegal dumping raises concerns richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Illegal dumping continues to frustrate local residents and officials. The Electoral Area Advisory Committee has instructed the Safe Communities Unit to investigate ways to deal with people who break the law by leaving garbage in rural areas. “We need to decrease the amount of crap people are throwing around with a total disregard for — Macnabb the community,” said Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director.

She was quickly recovered from the lake and rushed to shore, but died before reaching hospital in Vernon. The BC Coroners
Another problem area is off Mabel Lake Road in rural Enderby. “Everyone pays for the stupidity of one person,” said Macnabb, adding that illegal dumping is not only unsightly but it creates a wildfire and wildlife threat. Broken glass and other items can also pose a public safety risk. Among the possible options being considered to curb illegal dumpers are surveillance cameras or security officers. Macnabb isn’t sure why some people insist on illegal dumping when regional district landfills are fairly close and the fee to use the landfills is inexpensive. “Cost out the fuel to get to the top of Hartnell Road, it’s ridiculous,” he said.

Lawn and order
oday was a perfect day to mow the lawn. Bright and sunny, the birds were singing, the bees were busy. Yes, today was the perfect day to mow the lawn. As was every day for the last three weeks. If only my lawnmower weren’t down at Snuffy’s Small Engine Repair and Produce. The first week he had it, I only stopped by once to see when he’d be bringing it back. It’s too easy for people to brush you off on the phone. People lie to you on the phone. I know because I do it all the time. “Can I speak with Jim Mullen James?” the caller will ask, and since no one of any character has ever called me James, I say, “Are you calling about his funeral service? It’s tomorrow at 10. Would you like to be one of the speakers?” In person, it’s hard to get away with that. Thank goodness, I’m not one of those people who thinks his lawn should be a flawless piece of art, because it is now over my ankles. I do have a life outside my front yard, unlike some of my neighbors. The highlight of my day will not be edging my sidewalk. But I’ve come to find riding on the mower for a few hours a week a mini-vacation. I can put on my ear protectors and shut out the noisy world for a while. “So,” I explained to Snuffy, “it’s not just for the grass, or my snooty neighbors, it’s for me. It’s my ‘me time.’” I don’t think Snuffy was familiar with the term. “We’re just waiting for a part,” he said. “It should be here tomorrow.” I went home a happy man. You may have noticed, as I did not, that he didn’t say the lawnmower would be back tomorrow, just that the part may be here tomorrow. In my delusional fantasy, that part would be
VillAgE idiot
installed the very second it came in, and Snuffy would then deliver the now fully functional tractor back to my house tomorrow, which is no longer tomorrow, but last Thursday. Last Friday, after one of the neighbors stopped by to ask if I would be selling hay this year and if so, how much per bale, I paid another visit to Snuffy. Snuffy, I should say, is a nice guy. He assured me that there was an unfortunate mix-up at Parts International and that it was now all straightened out and the part should be in tomorrow. I wasn’t going to fall for that twice. “But if the part comes in tomorrow, will you install it tomorrow?” Snuffy looked hurt. “Why wouldn’t I?” Whoops! Now I was on his bad side -- I may never get the thing fixed. Next time I’ll call him. This “in person” thing was not working out the way I planned. I waited four days without hearing from him. Byron, who lives two blocks away and has seven or eight small children, stopped by. He wanted to know if I would mow a maze in my front lawn for his children to play in. He thought I could actually make money on the deal by charging neighborhood kids to get in. “Well, if I ever get my lawnmower back from Snuffy, I’ll think about it.” Byron told me it was Snuffy’s idea to begin with. “He always seems to know who I should ask,” Byron said. Gee, I wonder how? I explained the situation. After a little thought, he said, “You should pile up a few weeks’ worth of newspapers on your porch so people will think you’re on vacation and not just a slob.” “Good idea, but I’d rather not be in the house when the burglars come to rob me.” “Oh, I wouldn’t worry about it. They’d try one of the houses that look like there might be something in there worth stealing first.” I called Snuffy yesterday. He wasn’t there. They said he was out mowing his lawn.

It’s an age-old problem that continues to frustrate residents and government alike. The Electoral Area Advisory Committee has asked the Safe Communities Unit to investigate ways to deal with people who continue to break the law and dump garbage in rural areas. In a recent case, the Regional District of North Okanagan was forced to clean up an illegal dump site in the BX at the end of Hartnell Road. “Everyone pays for the stupidity of one person,” said BX-Silver Star director Mike Macnabb. Hear, hear. Although it’s likely not just one person and we all know it’s not just one site in particular as there are other problem areas, including off Mabel Lake Road in rural Enderby. The fact that it is unsightly is bad enough but there are risks to wildlife, a potential for wildfire and safety hazards to other humans, all because someone never learned the golden rule in kindergarten – clean up after yourself. Certainly laws and fines are a must (although very difficult to enforce for various reasons), and maybe security patrols and surveillance cameras in certain trouble spots may be worth considering, but mostly it comes down to personal responsibility. The landfill is cheap and accessible and open longer during the summer, please use it. The once-a-week garbage service that many receive should be utilized and appreciated. Most of us are good community stewards and have no intention of taking the easy way out when it comes to the disposal of garbage. We wish the Safe Communities Unit good luck in finding a way to make it not so easy for those who continue to refuse to do the right thing.

Faith lost in medical system
ear Madam Premier, I have an important question for you. But first, I want you to know that I appreciate the work you do as a public servant to the people of B.C. and this letter is written with respect. Also, I agree we need an environmentally safe Northern Gateway pipeline which will no doubt bring helpful funding for just such situations as I write below. My question is, if your doctor told you or one of your loved ones, that your annual test for colon cancer showed the presence of blood, would you be willing to wait 10-plus weeks just to receive a call telling you when your colonoscopy is booked, which would likely be a minimum two to three more months down the road, or would you go to the private clinic in Kelowna and pay $2,310 to have it performed immediately? I can’t blame you if you chose the latter. But while you were paying for yours, would you be thinking of the hundreds of other B.C. residents who would not be able to afford that choice? Cancer agencies everywhere educate people about cancer and how incredibly important early diagnoses are. Canadians go for our annual physicals as a free service, for which we are very grateful, including all the accompanying lab tests only to learn that if a particular test needs urgent follow-up we may wait six months or longer. How does this make any sense? My husband’s fecal test for blood
is positive, requiring a colonoscopy follow-up. If this procedure discovers a cancer in his colon, the six-month or longer wait could make the difference between metastasizing and catching it before that happens. The bottom line is that it could make the difference between life and a miserable death. What happened to urging an early diagnosis to save lives? Can you imagine yourself waiting six months or more with such a huge question mark hanging over your head? Imagine the toll this is taking in stress and people’s lives having to be on hold. With a backlog this huge the numbers must be in the hundreds of your voters. We are seniors and my husband is also a veteran. We are grateful for our medical system and have endured wait lists for joint replacement and repair, cataract surgery and yearlong waits to see certain specialists. We
system sucks I used to pride myself on the number of blue bags I could get outside on the curb every two weeks. Just throw everything into it. Easy! I have watched older neighbours struggle with these blue boxes when before they could adjust the weight of the bags by not filling them as much. As much as I squish and squash, my paper bin is overflowing within a week. I am now ashamed to say that I am throwing my glass out into the regular garbage as they wouldn't take my nicely cleaned, tied-up bag of glass. And no lids? I actually laughed at the stupidity recently as it poured Wednesday morning filling the boxes to the top with water.
Now, we are in limbo. For six months, give or take, our questions are: does he have colon cancer, if so, how long before we know, how far advanced, what will be the treatment, what will the medications cost, what is the prognosis, will he live or die, have a colostomy, and so on and so on. Additionally, does he apply for work now and go up north where he can’t be home on short notice, does he sit and wait and waste much valuable time, if he cannot go to work what happens with our future living conditions, and so on. This creates incredible stress and a feeling of such powerlessness. No one has any answers for us. We are told there is nothing anyone can do, to take our complaint to the health authority or if there are any symptoms to see our primary physician. How ludicrous. Once cancer is symptomatic, you know what the outcome is more than likely to be. We feel abandoned, alone, scared and have lost our faith in our medical system just when we really need it. What is so very tragic is that there are many, many B.C. residents sitting in this very large boat. Madam Premier, please be the leader the sick and senior citizens need you to be. Our lives are literally in your hands and the loonie stops at your desk. Be the leader described in the following quote: “A good leader doesn’t say, ‘Follow me’, a good leader says, ‘I’ll go first.'" Anonymous
have taken it in stride knowing it is the price we pay for our social safety net and a belief that any emergency would see us looked after immediately. On an even more personal level, my husband and I have realized that in order for us to maintain an independent existence, we have to rebuild our retirement funds decimated by the 2008 global economic crash and the following low interest rates. He has to go back to work in his seventh decade. The best income in a short amount of time is in northern B.C. or Alberta. He isn’t able to do the physical work he did as a younger man, but he can perform other activities and earn the funds we need to see us in small, but comfortable living quarters and not dependent on government programs, perhaps a year or two from now when he will be in his mid-70s.
I really detest this "new and improved" system. It will only increase garbage in the landfills as, come on let's admit it, most people will not work to make this work. Not me of course. I will continue to squish, squash, heave and ho my way to the curb. I think anyways....... michelle Howe new iDeA As I consider the stalemate between the government and our educators, I have wondered if injecting more volunteerism into the system would be helpful. I belong to a church that calls upon its members to serve in a vast variety of positions throughout the
world at their own expense. It is not at all unusual for the volunteers to work alongside paid employees. For three years, my husband and I worked with two other couples to preside over 1,500 other volunteers. We worked alongside five paid engineers and 70 other paid employees. The employees were on a career track. The volunteers changed regularly. There is a careful character check before a volunteer is accepted and there is ongoing training during their service. I recommend this system for the growth in work skills it offers the volunteers and for the economic benefit to society. shirley Burnham
rAil trAil Kudos to The Morning Star for bringing this brief and fleeting opportunity to provide and protect 25 kilometres of some of the most beautiful, amazing, breathtaking waterfront in the world for public access. A 50-kilometre multiuse pathway along the abandoned CN rail bed from Coldstream to Kelowna would benefit our economy, health, property values and environment. Moreover, it would show future generations we cared. Let’s hope our governments are listening. Gord VanDyck

Brown ready to hoop, bar none KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Now that she has a foot-long titanium bar out of her chest, Cassandra Brown can breathe easier and run with no discomfort. The 6-foot-2, 155-pound speedy guard affectionately known as CB, will enter her senior NCAA Division 1 basketball year with the University of Portland Pilots healthy and happy. “It’s a relief to have the bar removed,” said the Fulton Maroon grad on a recent visit home. “My first year, it was really rough and by my second year, I’d forget about it, but it was definitely subconsciously in the back of my mind.” The fun-loving Brown took a medical redshirt in the 2012-13 season to undergo surgery. She returned to the floor last year and went to town, joining teammate Jasmine Wooton of California as All-West Coast Conference Honorable Mentions in early March. It was the first conference recognition for Brown. Brown was born with a depressed sternum so basically had a hole in her heart. It wasn’t life threatening, but she would get winded quickly. She chose to have the NES procedure done to repair the hole. “It was a very, very long and painful recovery process. I’m a gym rat and before the surgery, I would be training and would get frustrated because I would get more winded than friends who weren’t working as hard. It was kind of a blessing because it made me push harder and go the extra mile. That’s where I got my strong work ethic.” Brown was averaging 12.2 points a game and shooting a league-best 43.7 per cent from threepoint range. She recorded three games of 20 points or more in conference play, including a 25-point outing on Dec. 30 against Saint Mary’s Gaels in California. The award was chosen by the league’s 10 head coaches. The Pilots went 14-12 overall and 7-8 in conference play last season. Brown led Portland with 14.1 points a game as a starter. She rang up a team-high
422 points while going 78-for-97 from the charity stripe. She has 863 career points and hopes to hit the 1,000 plateau next season. “It was a great year for competition,” said Brown, 22. “We have a strong conference with three teams going to the NCAA (tournament). Every game is a dogfight. San Diego (Aztecs) was 15-0 and we snapped their win streak at home (72-51 on Jan. 3). That was the best memory of the season.” As a sophmore in 2012, she turned heads by draining 32 points against the Santa Clara Broncos and registered her first career double-double with 28 points and a dozen rebounds in a 91-77 road victory over the Washington Huskies in mid November. Brown tied a program record with 15 treys at Alaska Airlines Arena. On her first game back after a year off, assistant coach Sean Kelly said, on the Pilots’ website: “I was excited for her because the previous couple of minutes didn’t go so well. She was doubting herself and then she made the big three and you could tell the weight was lifted off her shoulders. CB has one of those weapons that will make everybody on the floor better. We’re pretty excited where the team can go because of her ability to shoot the three.” A communication major with a minor in biology, Brown is taking summer school courses in Portland. She’s super stoked about her senior year. “I’m so happy I have another year because I’m not ready to be an adult yet,” she chuckled. “I live in an apartment and we go to (NBA) Blazers games; it’s so much fun in Portland.” Brown starred for Fulton coach Jim Inglis from Grade 8 through graduation. “The level of competitiveness is so much better down there. You can’t take any possessions off.” Brown loves that her parents – Robb and Bonnie – can make the 10-hour drive to watch her games. The purple and white Pilots play out of the 4,800seat Chiles Centre. The university has 4,000 students. Her post-school plans include playing pro in some place like Greece, Italy or Australia.

Shamrocks enter playoffs with a pair of clutch victories Morning Star Staff
The Armstrong Shamrocks have punched their ticket as the three seed in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League playoffs. The Irish crunched the South Okanagan Flames 19-14 Friday night at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Shamrocks finish the regular season 6-10 and the Flames sneak into the playoffs with a 4-12 record as the fourth seed. “Third is a success for us. We had a
smaller team this year and we were injury riddled for a bit,” said Shamrocks’ coach Brett Logan. The Rocks won the see-saw affair with four goals from Sam Hanley and Marlon Forrest, while Cam Nelson pulled a hat trick, with Joel Castle and Keith Minnis each adding a pair of goals. Kaden Sagh, Todd Hoggarth, Keegan Castle and Calvin Irmen supplied singles. The Rocks rallied in the third to come
back on the stingy Flames. Acting assistant coach and leading scorer on the senior Shamrocks, Pat Nelson, was behind the bench. “Brett did a good job calming the guys down in the third period and we were able to come back,” said Nelson. Connor Walton and Tanner Thompson both sniped four goals for the Flames, while Chris Pond recorded a hat trick. The Rocks held the Flames’ leading scor-
er Kaid McLeod to one goal. Cooper Holick also added a single for the fire guys. The Shamrocks tamed the Kelowna Raiders 17-8 Thursday night at Memorial Arena. The Kamloops Venom and the Vernon Tigers battled in the season finale Saturday night at Kal Tire Place. Playoffs begin Tuesday night. Vernon will host a first round series.

Pair of Panthers prepare for the Peg TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
A pair of Vernon Panthers are with the U16 Team B.C. football teams in the Red River Cup starting this weekend in Winnipeg. Tyler Riva, a stocky linebacker has been chosen for the blue team and quarterback Keegan Vicklund will play for the orange team. “I felt pretty good about myself once I made it. I felt like I had a good tryout and all my hard work paid off,” said Vicklund. Football B.C. is sending two teams to the Red River Cup after winning the tournament last summer. Dino Geremia is the technical director for Team B.C. and is excited to see the two Panthers play in Winnipeg. “I expect both teams to do well, and if it’s an all-B.C. final, I’ll be smiling,” said Geremia. Team B.C. held tryouts earlier in May in Richmond. “Tyler is a big kid that has great footwork and moves well. He impressed us at the combine with how well he worked with the coaches and how much he developed in such a short time,” said Geremia. Geremia worked with Vicklund at the USA Football and Football Canada International Challenge last Feb. down in Dallas,
Texas. While working with a U15/U16 split squad, Team B.C. edged Team USA 10-7 at Maverick Stadium in the University of Texas Arlington. Riva grew up a huge Ray Lewis fan, but surprisingly loves the Pittsburgh Steelers. “I was pretty excited once I found out I made it. My dad called me when I was with my friends, they were excited too,” said Riva. The Red River Cup will be held at Investors Group Field, home of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. “I’m excited to play in the Bombers stadium. It’s also the first time I have made a high performance team,” said Riva. Vicklund is marvelling in the challenge of going up against a teammate. “He’s a big guy, you need to know where he is because he can get through the line easily,” said Vicklund. Vicklund idolizes another Panthers quarterback, Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers. “He is more than just a passing quarterback. I like to try and make plays with my feet when I can just like he does,” said Vicklund. All games can be followed online at football BC website.

Vipers regular season schedule announced Morning Star Staff
With the Royal Bank Cup still fresh in everybody’s minds, the B.C. Hockey League has released the 2014-15 regular season schedule. “I don’t really have any games circled on my calendar just yet. Of course the home opener is always fun and the rivalry games with Salmon Arm, Penticton and West Kelowna are good too,” said Vipers’ GM/head coach Jason Williamson. The defending Ryan Hatfield Memorial champions will battle the West Kelowna Warriors in their home opener Saturday, Sept. 27 at Kal Tire Place. The Snakes host the Salmon Arm SilverBacks Friday, Oct. 10, with fans getting their first glance at the Penticton Vees a week later
on Oct. 17. The Fred Page Cup rematch goes Saturday, Jan. 17, when the Coquitlam Express roll into town. The Snakes will play 10 home games on Friday and Saturday nights this season. “We have bumped up the Saturday night games to 6 p.m. to try and bring more families out,” said Williamson. The Vipers toughest road trip occurs when they hit the coast on Dec. 12 for games with the Powell River Kings, Alberni Valley Bulldogs and Nanaimo Clippers. “That should be a good trip midway through our season; they are all good teams,” said Williamson. “The travel isn’t too bad in this league so we will be fine.”

Olson lands Hall of Famer Morning Star Staff
Dale Olson scrambled to put together the 29th Hoops and Hustle Basketball Camp. The normal guest coaches from the Gonzaga Bulldogs were unavailable since the camp was initially put on hold due to the
Dale Olson
teachers-government dispute. Once Olson got the OK to run the camp, he landed an awesome replacement in recent Basketball B.C. Hall of Fame inductee Spencer McKay. The camp runs July 14-17 at Fulton. McKay is head coach of the UBC Thunderbirds in Vancouver. He was a three-time All-Canadian and five-time Canada West all-star while playing for the University of Victoria Vikings from 198691. Ken Shields and the late Guy Vetrie were his
coaches. McKay remains the program’s all-time leading scorer, averaging 18.4 points a game in his craeer. “Spencer has a vast knowledge of the game, having played 16 years of pro in Europe,” said Olson, also a UVic hoop grad. McKay played in Hungary, Belgium, Austria, Spain, France, Portugal, Mexico and Taiwan. He was also on Team Canada from 1985-95, highlighted by an appearance at the ‘94 World Championships in Toronto, where Canada finished seventh. After retiring as a pro player, McKay stayed in Europe and coached seven years at the International School of Brussels in Belgium. He returned to B.C. in 2012, spending one year as an assistant coach with the T-Birds. Hoops and Hustle will hold the College Camp, for players going into Grades 4-7, daily from 8:30 a.m.-noon. The Pro Camp, for students entering Grades 8-12, goes from 1-5 p.m. each of ths five days. “The importance of going to basketball camp in the summer is enormous,” said Olson. “Basketball players are made in the off season.” Call Olson at 250-550-4105 or visit the Fulton website at: fultonsd22.bc.ca to register.

The Mud Sharks (7-1-1) controlled the majority of possession despite having nine players. Wendy Nadeau made several huge saves for OMG (2-8-1), and looked much like Mexico’s keeper, Guillermo Ochoa. The Drywall were hanging tough all game until the ageless midfielder Monica Holubowski booted a long, high ball into the top corner of the net in the second half.

After one season behind the bench of the Vernon Vipers, associate coach Kris Mallette has accepted an assistant coach position with the Kelowna Rockets. “It has never been when, it has always been a it’s only a matter of time,” said Mallette. Mallette returns to the organization he played for as a young man 18 years ago. “100 per cent my dream job,” said Mallette. Mallette’s departure caught Vipers’ GM/head coach Jason Williamson by surprise. “He called me up late yesterday and told me the news. It’s great news for him. It is his ultimate goal and I am excited for him,” said Williamson. “Our goal here is always to move people along, players and coaches.” Mallette, previously coached the North Okanagan Knights in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League before working with the Vipers last season. Over two seasons as head coach of the Knights, he guided North Okanagan to a 69-30-2-3 record, culminating in an appearance in the league final against the Castlegar Rebels in late March. He was named KIJHL Coach of the Year.
Mallette, a Kelowna native, signed a three-year deal with the Rockets. The contract has relieved some pressure on the home front. “My wife won’t have to worry about me driving that highway five days a week now. The 15-minute comKris Mallette mute is going to be nice,” said Mallette, 35. Mallette, a former Philadelphia Flyers’ draft pick, has been a class act throughout his professional career. “The Vipers are a classy organization and well run with lots of success. I met a lot of good people last year,” said Mallette. “I want to express heartfelt gratitude to Duncan Wray and the organization of the Vipers for allowing me to coach there.” Mallette’s absence leaves the Snakes with a gaping hole behind the bench following Dave Robinson’s departure earlier this spring. “The search is just starting. We have a couple of guys in mind we are going to go after,” said Williamson.

Barrie finishes 14th Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Mackenzie Barrie carded a final-round even-par 73 Friday to finish tied for 14th spot in the B.C. Golf Junior Girls Championship title at The Dunes at Kamloops. Barrie, who just finished a super freshman season with the University of Wyoming Cowgirls, finished at 305 alongside Kylie Jack of West Kelowna. There was a field of 48. Naomi Ko won the title with a 6-under 286 after four days of competitive play. The Team Canada member shot 73 Friday on the 5886-yard course. Kathy Lim of Langley, finished two strokes back of Ko with scores of 71-71-71-75. Rounding out the top three was Alix Kong of West Vancouver, who led through the first three days. Kong, who was celebrating her 18th birthday, recorded her highest score of the week on the final day (77) posting a 289. Ko, Lim, and Kong will represent B.C. at the nationals at Thornhill Golf & Country Club, July 28-Aug. 1 in Thornhill, Ont.
Shoulder aches and pains are common, but because our arms seldom get a rest, these aches often become chronic injuries: knots, spasms, frozen shoulder and tendonitis. Many of us learn to live with it and think, “It’s a part of my lifestyle or job”. Many of us have had chronic tendonitis, making it difficult to lift a carton of milk or wash our hair. And many of us have exhausted a variety of therapies.
DR. RYAN HARRIS
Therapy, the only therapy I found to get rid of my pain and heal my injury. Shockwave, developed to break up kidney stones, can break down scar tissue and stimulate new blood vessel growth, promoting proper muscle function and restarting the healing process.
It is in those injuries that have lingered for months or years where shockwave shines. If you have chronic shoulder injuries, don’t give up hope. If I had, I would not be in practice today.
Glenmore Chiropractic
Most therapies have an affect only on new injuries that are days to weeks old. Once scar tissue forms and healing stops (chronic), we are at the mercy of the injury. Over and over in my practice I hear, “I have been dealing with this injury for months or years and tried everything. Nothing has worked… what do I do?”
According to the Journal of the American Medical Association 2005, shockwave therapy had a 91% success rate for the treatment of calcific Rotator Cuff Tendonitis. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.
I tell them about the tennis elbow and shoulder tendonitis I had, both of which nearly caused me to shut down my practice. I talk about the multitude of therapies I tried to no avail. Then I talk about Shockwave

The recycling blues
n the world of conservation, I have just committed a mortal sin. I have put a bag of papers, cartons and other recycling objects into the garbage and I am full of guilt. Having been a conscientious recycler for more than 40 years, it is with great remorse that I am forced into this action. I wonder how we arrived at this stage after years of struggle to make Pat Black people aware of their obligations to recycle. And we have been so successful in promoting the idea to recycle that most of us do this now without thinking about it. When we can, that is. It poured rain on our blue box collection day and I could hardly walk because of an upsurge of arthritis throughout my body, never mind lifting the heavy bins. They were stored one on top of another at the end of my drive and had about an inch of water in the top bin. Plowing through the rain and getting to them with my walker while carrying bags of material was impossible. Keeping the mess for another two weeks was also not an option with wasps and other bugs about. So into the garbage the stuff went.
personal best
I am pretty upset about this as are so many other seniors with disabilities forced to quit recycling after using the blue bag system so successfully for many years. However, it is clear that this provincial government doesn’t give a fig about recycling, seniors or much else. I want to hear what the other parties say about this situation and how they would fix it if they were elected. Last week, I revisited the Allan Brooks Nature Centre in the Commonage just past the army camp and once again marveled at this little piece of paradise. From the outlook, you can see for miles and view all three lakes and the surrounding countryside, making it easier to see the whole geographic relationship. The plants are lush and abundant and specifically suited for our hot summer climate. Tours of the area are conducted through marmot territory, snake crossings and winding around the hill to the beautiful little pond full of salamanders and tadpoles. This path is wheelchair accessible as well. The Allan Brooks Nature Centre has always been a great place to learn about the nature of the Okanagan and to experience it first hand. Recently, with their Aboriginal Appreciation Day and summer program plans, more integration with the community and cultural relationships are the paths they are exploring.
The centre is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Their website is abnc.ca. Another great find on the weekend was the opening of Peter’s U-Pick Cherry Orchard on Rimer Road in the BX. After 10 years of planting, nurturing and maturation, this orchard was finally unveiled on the Canada Day weekend and what a beauty it is with row after row of delicious cherries. Open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day you can either pick or have Peter run out to the ripest row and pick for you, as he did for us. Apricots will be ready in a week or two as well. On yet another positive note I have developed a love affair with Telus. Do you remember what a hassle it was to get service when something broke down? Well all that has changed. When service shut down on my computer, phone and TV one evening, I called their service department and got to speak with someone directly, who understood every word, and after various tests determined I needed a service person. By 9 a.m. the next morning, my hero, Ryan, was at my door and by 11 a.m. my problems were over. Not only that but I have Ryan’s phone number and an invitation to call whenever I have a service problem. Wow! Also, I had two follow-up phone calls to make sure I was satisfied with the service. Wow again!

Market concerns influence Target kolby solinsky
Black Press
Target has turned a for-internal-consumption-only video into a viral hit, releasing a two-minute confessional on YouTube with one clear message: Canada, we’re sorry. “Certainly, we think we disappointed our guests,” says Damien Liddle, the company’s senior corporate counsel, in the video. “Maybe we didn’t put our best foot forward when we entered into Canada. We’re working really hard to give everybody that unique Target experience.” The company has struggled financially since its expansion to the Great White North. Target reportedly lost $1.52 billion in its first year in Canada, according to its earnings report in May. Consumers have complained that prices aren’t as low in Canada as they are at Target stores in the U.S., among other things. So the video was an attempt for employees and executives to not distance themselves from the numbers, but rather to address it and, in a way, embrace it. “We think that a lot of our team members, they’re following the news,” said Joanne Elson, a Target PR manager and spokesperson out of Mississauga, Ontario, in an interview with Black Press. “We really wanted to get a sense as to how our own team members were feeling about things, where their thoughts were,” she says, detailing how the video came to be made. “It’s really personal for them as well and they’ve really put their heart and soul into their jobs.” Elson says the video – which became public after Target Canada president Mark Schindele tweeted it out, which was a company decision – “touched on a lot of the points” she hoped it would, and said her and her team are “happy with how it came together”. “It had a really good response,” she said. “We had a lot of people applaud us for being transparent and for sharing that feedback.” Now, the goal is to improve Target’s instore experience in Canada. Customers know the brand for its presence and its identity south the 49th parallel, and those same customers have been disappointed, the video says, by what they’ve experienced at home. “We knew that brand awareness was pretty strong and many guests were familiar with our stores in the U.S.,” said Elson. “A lot of Canadians were familiar with the brand. That helped to generate a lot of expectation and excitement for Target’s arrival.” Since expanding to Canada, Target has

Target says it is aware of concerns among Canadian customers, including those in the north okanagan. opened more than 120 stores up here and has added 20,000 “team members,” as Elson refers to them. “A lot of the stores in the U.S. are built from the ground up,” she says. “In Canada, we need to rework an existing format.” Elson said Target’s American stores are “definitely well-known for being clean, with wide aisles, good lighting, that uncluttered, distraction-free shopping environment.” Another large part of Target’s appeal has historically been its featuring of several brands exclusive to its stores. Boys can shop for not just T-shirts but custom T-shirts, for example. Go to Target’s Langley store near Willowbrook mall, and you’ll find shirts with vintage Coke and Pepsi logos, or superheroes and classic rock bands, or TV shows like Sons of Anarchy. Target just recently announced a new
partnership with popular Vancouver-based Pinterest user Poppytalk, an account led by Jan Halvarson that has over 8,293,000 followers. Target has now released the ‘Poppytalk’ collection, which features party ideas and outdoor ideas and products, from $3 to $25. And the company has combined forces with two other pinners – Joy Cho and Kate Arendts – for its Oh Joy! and Wit & Delight collections. (Wit & Delight will launch in stores on September 14.) Elson says these recently announced Pinterest partnerships are a new step, an evolution of the store’s already existing partnerships, and a way to fuse customers’ experiences online and to get them excited about coming into the store. Target’s owned and exclusive brands include Cherokee, Mossimo, and Threshold,
and the store has ongoing partnerships with collections like Shaun White, Nate Berkus, and Sonia Kashuk. “We really invented the design partnership idea,” says Elson. “I know that’s one of the things Canadian guests were really looking forward to.” But one thing shoppers weren’t looking forward to were ‘empty shelves’ – a problem that became an embarrassing issue for the company a year ago, after photos posted online spread like wildfire. The empty shelves actually existed because demand for Target’s on-sale items outweighed its supply, said company merchandising vice-president John Morioka in March, 2013. “We definitely were slammed,” he told The Globe and Mail. “We thought there would be an initial bump. The bump has not levelled off to the degree that we thought.” The ‘empty shelves’ arose again this year, both after the holiday season in January and then in May, when Target Corp. CEO John Mulligan called them “unacceptable”. Also in May, Target Canada president Tony Fisher was fired, and replaced by Schindele. “Our progress needs to come much, much quicker,” Mulligan said. The shelves left an odd impression with shoppers – a first impression that the company hopes it can correct, and Elson is confident it will. “We fully recognize that not everything is perfect in the store and that we do have some work to do,” said Elson. “We have 20,000 team members who are dedicated. They were in the store the day it opened and they are on-board, physically helping bring the products into the stores.” Those team members are prominently featured in Target’s video, which Elson adds was not just an important declaration to Canadian shoppers, but also a rallying call internally. “You’re working so hard, you see all the little things you’re doing on your end,” she said. “But sometimes, that’s a lot harder for someone on the outside to see all those little things being done. The video did a good job summarizing all the feedback, whether it was the positive or negative comments, to summarize how so many different people are feeling. “We’re working every day to make improvements and to enhance our experience. Maybe it’s not all positive, but the negative feedback is just as important. That’s something everyone took away.”

New sea lion centre roars laurie armstrong Special to The Morning Star
CALIFORNIA - While most visitors to San Francisco have probably seen the sea lions lounging at Pier 39, the new the Sea Lion Center at the north end puts the playful pinnipeds in a whole new perspective. The centre is a free nature center where guests can learn about the world famous California sea lions that inhabit the docks on the northwest side of the Pier. Operated by Aquarium of the Bay, the Sea Lion Center overlooks Pier 39’s K-Dock, the usual hangout of these charismatic mammals that mysteriously made this their home in January 1990, shortly after the Loma Prieta earthquake. The Sea Lion Center features interactive displays, educational videos, fascinating presentations and one- on-one interactions with naturalists. Guests can touch real sea lion artifacts including pelts and skulls, and size themselves up next to a life-size sea lion skeleton. For information visit www.aquariumofthebay.org. Sea lions aren’t the only ones having fun in the water at the Pier. Passengers on Bay Voyager, a 28-foot custom RIB (rigid-hulled inflatable boat), get a unique tour of historic landmarks, ecological sights and sounds, and stunning landscapes of San Francisco Bay.

Water plan picking up speed RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Planning is well underway for this November’s master water plan referendum in Greater Vernon. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee is proceeding with a website and advertising to let residents know why there is a need to borrow $70 million for upgrades to the water utility. “The goal is to keep it simple so people understand what we’re talking about so they can make an informed decision,” said Karmen Morgan, a Regional District of North Okanagan employee. Opposition has come from director Gyula Kiss, who is con-
cerned with GVAC’s suggestions that the Interior Health Authority could still force the upgrades even if the referendum is shot down. “I don’t like this idea of what will happen if you don’t approve $70 million. I don’t like to scare people,” he said. However, chief administrative officer David Sewell says the goal is to be factual. “We’re not trying to have dire consequences with a no vote. We’re just trying to present information,” he said. Sports facility on track Work continues at the site of Greater Vernon’s future community sports field and athletics
facility. “There’s not a lot of visual activity but the contracts are out and the behind the scenes work is being taken care of,” said Keith Pinkoski, Greater Vernon Advisory Committee parks planner. It’s expected that civil work will begin this week and the construction of various buildings will occur soon after that. Pinkoski says the project next to Okanagan College is currently within budget and he is confident that work can be completed by the end of the year. “We’re shooting for total completion in December and in the spring, opening the facility.”
911 calls moving to the Lower Mainland Morning Star Staff
This fall, 911 call answer services for local communities will move to a new service provider. Starting Nov. 18, 911 calls placed from the North Okanagan, Columbia-Shuswap and Central Okanagan regional districts will be answered through E-Comm, the emergency communication centre located in the Lower Mainland. “For almost two years, we have been exploring various options for 911 call answer services on behalf of nine Interior regional districts,” said Robert Hobson, chairperson of RDCO, which administers the service. “In 2012 we were advised by the RCMP that we would be facing significant increases for provision of 911 services. After an extensive review and negotiations, we’ve recently signed a five-year contract with E-Comm in Vancouver. The transition from the RCMP operational communications centre to E-Comm will take place Nov. 18.” Hobson says that switching to E-Comm over five years will save the regional district 25 per cent in overall program operating costs. “That translates into total savings of more than $2.1-million for the program, proportionately shared by the regional district partners,” he said. “Public safety remains our top priority. E-Comm’s outstanding track record of high quality and reliable 9-1-1 answering services, means all residents in the affected regional districts can be assured there will be professionally handled, quick response to their initial emergency calls.” Until the change this fall to E-Comm, 911 calls will continue to be answered by staff in the RCMP’s operational communications centre. Within the nine regional districts during 2013, a

Why do I need a will?
If you don’t have a will, a court decides who gets your assets. A will is a device that lets you tell the world whom you want to get your assets. Die without one, and the state decides who gets what, without regard to your wishes or your heirs’ needs. Making a will is especially important for people with young children, because wills are the best way to transfer guardianship of minors. You may amend your will at any time. In fact, it’s a good idea to review it periodically and especially when your marital status changes.

Centre needs a hand With anywhere from 75 to 350 people coming through the doors a day, the Schubert Centre is a hot spot for seniors. For 20 years now, the Schubert Centre has been providing social and recreational opportunities for seniors. But whether it’s crafts, catching up, a game of pool, floor curling or cards, it is volunteers who keep the centre running. Unfortunately, the Schubert Centre is short on help and is in need of some extra hands. “We are running probably at about 100 right now,” said manager Jack Gareb. “We should be around 120.” As an example, there are two shifts every day in the coffee shop, which is open six days a week. There’s also the front desk, downstairs and depending on the day, extra hands needed for events. While the term ‘work’ may come to mind, there are a number of benefits to volunteering at the centre. Along with some perks like a free coffee and food discounts, volunteers enjoy a sense
of belonging and camaraderie at the Schubert Centre. “They may do a shift at the front desk and then go play a game of cards,” said Gareb. Anyone interested in
lending some time to the centre and helping to make a difference in the lives of local seniors can call the Schubert Centre at 250-549-4201 and ask for Jack or email info@schubertcentre.ca
LIVE WELL HEALTH TIP:
SLEEPING Sleep Tight… Naturally Do you have problems getting to or staying asleep? We have natural products and wellness tips to help you get your eight hours per night. During sleep our bodies are able to restore, replenish, and heal, but, if we are not getting adequate amounts of quality sleep, then our daily quality of life diminishes. Lack of sleep can lead to impaired cognitive function, mood imbalance, headaches, and if left untreated, chronic sleep loss has been linked to cardiovascular issues. Try these simple solutions to help you have a well-rested night’s sleep: Improve Your Routine and Environments Darkness is needed in order for the sleep hormone Melatonin to be released. Make sure your room is cool and completely dark. Also, avoid use of televisions or computers within an hour of bedtime as the brightness triggers your internal alarm clock to wake up.

Speech and language services in North O k a n a g a n - S hu s w ap schools have been given a temporary reprieve. During recent budget discussions, school district trustees implemented reductions to speech and language services for children with communications difficulties, among other cuts required to reduce the operating budget by $1.8 million. At the last school board meeting, it was announced that additional funding to maintain the current level of speech and language services had been approved out of a special learning improvement fund. “This provides the equivalent funding to maintain the status quo,” said Nora Kennett, district administrator for student services. The school board had cut the equivalent of a 0.2 speech pathologist position from the budget; however, this one-time funding grant will top up the speech and language services budget by that amount. “It will mean less impact on students this coming year than previously predicted,” she added. But Kennett notes, this learning improvement fund requires schools to make applications on an annual basis, so there is no guarantee that funds would continue in future years. It is this issue that concerns Jennifer Henrie, a parent of a child with communication challenges. She recently lobbied the school board and the Ministry of Education for speech and language funding, and co-ordinated a parent letter-writing campaign. “Though I am encouraged by the fact that the speech and language program received the one year LIF grant, I feel it is not a healthy funding structure for such a vital program.”

Handcrafted recipes created by the chefs of The Italian Kitchen. Locally made in Vernon, B.C. with only the finest ingredients. On February 16, 2013 at 2:00 a.m. after a busy night in the restaurant, the first jar of sauce was canned for the Italian Kitchen Sauce Company in Vernon, BC. It was hand-crafted in a traditional low boy! Since then, The Italian Kitchen Sauce Company has continued to grow with kettles and new facilities. The Italian Kitchen Sauce Company products are now available in over 100 grocery stores in BC. The Italian Kitchen Company was founded in January 1995 by Brad Brousseau and Andrew Johnson. Paul Moore from Vancouver, BC was also an operating partner for eight years. Brad, Andrew and Paul all were service professionals in Vancouver, BC. It is now operated by Managing Partner Dan Odznik and owned by Brad Brousseau and Katie Bellamy. The Italian Kitchen has never had a deep fryer and prides itself on fresh ingredients, with a new ‘Fresh Sheet’ every two weeks. They do not claim that all the recipes are original, but instead, many have been borrowed and modified from other Chef’s at restaurants they have enjoyed over the years.
The Italian Kitchen is located in a historic, beautifully restored, 1930’s brick building in downtown Vernon. The room always has candles lit, a warm atmosphere with fourteen foot original tin ceilings and a magnificent sky light above. The Italian Kitchen has always displayed local artists work in an ever-changing gallery style setting. The Italian Kitchen has prided itself on its excellent kitchen and front-end employees and has won many awards from “Okanagan Life Magazine”. It boasts a wonderful open kitchen, where flambe and sauces fill the restaurant with natural Italian aromas. Downtown visitors are often spotted watching the busy cooks through the large street windows. The Italian Kitchen Sauce Company will continue to grow and has the goal to become an international brand. Enjoy our Sauce!

Due to the fact that not all recycling needs are currently being serviced throughout the North Okanagan, the Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) will continue to provide recycling drop centre services at all recycling and disposal facilities and transfer stations. The recycling landscape in B.C. changed significantly on May 19. Under a provincially approved stewardship plan, Multi-Material BC (MMBC) became responsible for the collection of residential packaging and printed paper (PPP) in the province. The long running RDNO Residential Curbside Blue Bag Collection Program was replaced by the MMBC residential curbside blue box collection program. In addition to residential curbside collection, MMBC established two depots in Vernon for the collection of container glass, styrofoam and plastic film. The MMBC stewardship plan deals with residential PPP only. MMBC does not provide service to industrial, commercial or institutional generators of PPP, and not all multi-family complexes have committed to the MMBC PPP collection program. Residents who have received MMBC blue boxes are strongly encouraged to utilize the MMBC curbside collection service. All residents are also strongly encouraged to make use of the two MMBC depots for free drop off of glass containers, styrofoam, and plastic film.
Blue bag recyclables and cardboard will continue to be accepted at all RDNO recycling and disposal facilities and transfer stations. This service is intended for small business, multi-family and single family residential customers who do not receive service through MMBC by allowing them to continue to recycle paper, plastics #1-7 (including film), cardboard and food grade tin and aluminum.

Due to temporary laboratory staffing challenges, the out-patient (drop-in) laboratory service at Vernon Jubilee Hospital’s Polson tower will be closed on Sundays during July starting today. The Interior Health Authority says staffing availability also means slightly longer waits may be experienced at the Vernon downtown laboratory, located at the Sterling Centre on 25th Avenue, during July. “Interior Health apologizes for any inconvenience this temporary change creates,” it states. “We are currently training additional staff and we anticipate the return of regular out-patient service hours at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital laboratory Polson tower in August.”

Despite the rain, the residents of Heron Grove retirement home joined with family, friends, and some members of Knox Presbyterian Church for their annual Canada Day festivities. The day started off with a parade through the property and cottages of the facility with band music accompaniment. A savoury carnival style lunch followed under the awnings with popcorn and slushies to complement the palate. In the afternoon, the sunshine brought out more residents and guests for games, a petting zoo and even circus clowns. “A special thanks to all the staff and volunteers who made this event a fun-filled day,” said Rev. Teresa Charlton, pastor at Knox Presbyterian Church.

Learn about the birds and the bees at Bishop Wild today Morning Star Staff
Brandon Moeller photo
Beekeeper John Gates is opening a hive as part of his beekeeping demonstration today during the Bishop Wild Bird Sanctuary’s open house.
For the past year, the Bishop Wild Bird Sanctuary has been home to four hives of bees. At 2 p.m. today, during the sanctuary’s open house, John Gates, former Ministry of Agriculture beekeeping specialist, will open a hive and give a brief beekeeping demonstration. “Bees are a very important part of our ecosystem, pollinating a wide variety of wild and cultivated plants. Several varieties of bee populations are now in decline across North America and scientists and beekeepers are trying to determine why – and what can be done to stop the decline,” said Gates, who keeps hives around the North Okanagan, including at the Allan Brooks Nature Centre.
“Honeybees are the easiest of all the bee species to manage. They are a welcome addition that ensures adequate pollination of plants at not only the sanctuary, but the surrounding neighbourhood.” Located near Mackie Lake House and Sovereign Park, the Bishop Wild Bird Sanctuary contains a variety of different habitats, from grasslands to forested areas to heavily brushed waterfront. “This encourages the nesting of a large variety of shore birds, as well as a protective waterfront area for them on a very busy lake,” said Laisha Rosnau, who along with her husband, Aaron Deans, is a resident caretaker of the property. Habitat at the sanctuary, which includes a high diversity of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants, attracts more
than 100 varieties of birds each year. “The native plant garden was converted from a large lawn in 2011 with the help of dozens of volunteers. There’s also a butterfly garden, planted with flowers to attract butterflies, which is a huge attractant to bees as well,” said Rosnau. Those interested in learning about the birds and the bees can visit the sanctuary anytime today between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. The hive opening will happen at 2 p.m. “There may even be some fresh honey to taste,” said Gates. Bishop Wild Bird Sanctuary is located at 12408 Coldstream Creek Rd. Admission is by donation and all are welcome. Call 250-542-5122 or email bishopwildbird@ gmail.com for more info.

Intuitive artist offers course Morning Star Staff
Satyama Lasby is a woman who has dreams, and then she makes them happen. About five years ago, Lasby plotted out a five-year vision for how her life would look in one, three and five years. She remembers the element of work specifically – that it would be balanced between giving specialized bodywork (massage) sessions, teaching yoga and giving yoga retreats, and earning an income with her painting. These were the three things that she loved and still loves to do. “I give credit to my serious study of yoga and specifically meditation,” said Lasby, who left photo submitted her career with the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce in order to Vernon’s Satyama Lasby is offering study meditation full-time in India an online course on intuitive painting and meditation. in 2009. “It has given me the courage I have been teaching classes in and belief, knowing that I am the painting with acrylic in a spiritual maker of my own movie and that way for a while, but the marketing anything is possible with focused and time it takes to promote this intention and manifestation.” kind of specialty outweighed any More recently, Lasby has been income being made, so it wasn’t a leading courses and retreats in good business model – just someboth Costa Rica and Thailand, as thing I was doing from my heart,” well as in the North Okanagan for she said. “I had the inclination to the past three years after opening reach more people online for a her business, Open to Bliss, in while.

When a friend referred Lasby to a Thai monk who just so happened to have his own film production company, the filming of the course began. Lasby has integrated an element or type of meditation into each module of the course, called Painting Mandalas with Meditation for Creativity. Some of the modules teach how to paint, some teach centering meditation or yoga, and some provide experiences for the student to look more deeply into their dreams and goals, and then how to manifest them, said Lasby. Lasby’s colourful art and intuitive painting continues to thrive on the island of Koh Phagnan in Thailand, where she currently teaches weekly classes to mainly foreigners who are there on holiday, doing body detox programs at Orion Health Centre. She also gives specialized Chi Nei Tsang abdominal massages at the centre, as part of her passion for the body-mind connection and what the connection does to bring greater awareness to our health.

ryteller and performer, Newman created the ghost tours as a way of combining the art of storytelling with local history. “You come for the ghosts, which there are many of, but you leave with a new understanding and appreciation for the history of the region,” he said. The tour will run for one week only, every day from July 26 until
• 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)
ON-LINE BOOKING AT thrivephysiotherapy.ca
Aug. 1 at 9 p.m. Tours leave from the steps of the Vernon museum. It is an outdoor walking tour and runs rain or shine, so dress appropriately. The tours cost $10 for ages 13 and up and $5 for those 12 and under (cash only.)

Gallery makes a Midsummer of new memories Vernon’s historic garden party and art auction is up at Turtle Mountain for its 28th year Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
From its humble beginnings at the Caetani house gardens to its two-year stopover at Cenotaph Park in downtown Vernon, Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts has seen a few changes over its 28 years. It all started when the late artist Sveva Caetani hosted a few of her friends to show their artwork on her Pleasant Valley Road property. The event would go to become the Vernon Public Art Gallery’s main fundraiser of the year, featuring both a live and silent auction of work by the Okanagan’s top artistic talents. Over the years, literally hundreds of people have gathered to nosh on locally prepared delicacies, sip on local wines and other refreshments, bid on art, and rub elbows with friends, neighbours and colleagues in a garden party atmosphere. Although the venue has changed once again, this year’s event on Wednesday, July 16 features all that Midsummer’s magic. Now presented with the help of major sponsor Predator Ridge, the gallery is getting ready to host its second Midsummer’s Eve at its new home at Turtle Mountain Winery. “Guests will delight in spectacular views of Okanagan Lake and the surrounding vineyards,”
Lisa VanderVeLde/Morning star
Dauna Kennedy Grant, executive director of the Vernon Public art Gallery, stands with a forged and fabricated steel sculpture by Doug alcock with glass by David montpetit and an acrylic-on-paper painting by Bryan ryley. Both pieces will be auctioned off along with much more local art at the 28th annual midsummer’s eve of the arts at turtle mountain Winery. the event takes place Wednesday, July 16 from 6:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. said VPAG executive director Dauna Kennedy Grant. “The Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts benefit event is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the Okanagan art scene while enjoying the amazing landscape and local fare.” This year, the VPAG is also offering a shuttle service to and from the event. The shuttle leaves the Schubert Centre starting at 6 p.m. and free parking is also available on-site at the winery located on Agnew Road off Bella Vista. Once arriving, MEA guests can
enjoy a variety of gourmet appetizers and desserts by four different local businesses: Olive Us, Monashee’s Bar and Grill, Cracked Pepper Catering and Gumtree Catering. Beverages are being provided by Okanagan Spring Brewery, Gray Monk winery, Okanagan Spirits and Starbucks Coffee. All that can be enjoyed while listening to the sultry blues and jazz of local act Kath and the TomKats, who will be creating a soothing atmosphere for guests to mingle before and after the live art auction.
And then there’s the centre attraction, the art. World champion auctioneer Don Raffan, of Valley Auction Ltd., is donning his best cowboy hat to call out the bids in his rapid-fire banter, while Betty Selin of Sun FM is once again serving as emcee. The event also features a silent auction. “We have over 80 submissions of art and specialty packages in the live and silent auction. Everything from large-scale paintings by international renowned artists, to luxury accommodation packages, there
is a lot to choose from,” said Ruth Hoyte, VPAG board member and MEA chairperson. “Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts is the art gallery’s largest fundraising event of the year and the proceeds support the outstanding exhibitions and programming the gallery offers to the public each year. Come out and show your support and enjoy a great night out.” In addition, a raffle ticket draw for a painting by Jane Everett, valued at $3,500, will take place at 9 p.m. Raffle tickets are $10 each, and are available in advance at the gallery and at the event. Those wanting to see the art in advance also have the opportunity at the gallery’s annual general meeting and art auction preview, taking place this Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. at the VPAG. Those who attend can meet and show their appreciation to the artists who donated work to support the gallery and also bid in advance on a piece of work if they are not able to attend MEA, said Kennedy Grant. “We can’t say thank you enough to everyone who contributes to making this event happen,” she added. Tickets for MEA are $50 each, available for purchase at the VPAG, 3228 31st Ave., by phone at 250-545-3173, or online at www. vernonpublicartgallery.com. Raffle and event tickets are also available at the Friday Night Fights at Predator Ridge’s main lodge, with a wine tasting from Parallel Estates, July 11 from 5 to 6 p.m., and also at the Downtown Vernon Association’s Avenue Market on 30th Avenue, outside of Practical Kitchen and Scotia Bank, July 11 starting at 4 p.m.
Jazz artist performs from new EP at Lorenzo’s Café Thursday Morning Star Staff
A force to be reckoned with, Canadian jazz artist Andrea Superstein is launching herself into summer with brand new music and a handful of Canadian tour dates, including here in the North Okanagan. Superstein performs an intimate show at Lorenzo’s Café in Ashton Creek Thursday. Making her debut at the Vancouver Jazz
Festival in 2010, which garnered her a Galaxie Award nomination for Best Emerging Talent, Superstein soon after released her debut album, One Night, which received rave reviews from the jazz community. She was also recently featured on the Women In Jazz compilation CD. Earlier this month, Superstein released two tracks, I Want To Be Evil and Just One Time, which accompany three additional new songs
on her new EP Stars. Boasting her own unique sound, Superstein is known for her ability to blend multiple elements together. Influenced by many different genres, her sophomore album sees her jazz roots intersect with an indie sound, creating a final product that has allowed her to explore uncharted territory and develop a sound that is described as “authentic, quirky, modern,
vintage-style.” Recorded at Canterbury Studio in Toronto and produced by Juno award winning producer Les Cooper, Stars will be available for purchase at Superstein’s upcoming tour dates. Her show at Lorenzo’s, located at 901 Mabel Lake Rd. east of Enderby, starts at 8 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. and cover is $10. Call 250-838-6700 for reservations.

Artist gets close with nature Submitted to The Morning Star
Calling all nature lovers, artists, and performers. Have you ever wondered what it would be to think like an animal? How do we capture a snapshot of nature in art? When nature-based works have fallen out of vogue, how do we make them relevant again? Can nature produce its own self-portrait? Join artist Aaron Lish on Wednesday at 7 p.m. for an illustrated presentation of his past work and discussion of his current participatory environmental art project, as part of the Allan Brooks Nature Centre and the Caetani Cultural Centre’s Fresh! AiR program partnership. Lish’s work combines art and science in innovative ways that involve community participation, performance, the environment and art. As part of his explorations, Lish has sometimes even built simple machines that allow rivers, waves and wind to draw their own self-portraits, thus giving nature a “voice.” The talk will be held at the Allan Brooks Nature Centre. Lish will also present a series of two workshops July 12 and 19. The workshops are intended to explore the natural environment and wildlife in the North Okanagan, investigating new ways of seeing our natural surroundings and its inhabitants, and the works produced will be incorporated into a final art work. Each workshop is designed for both artists and non-artists of any level, and no experience is necessary. Just bring

Potters go beyond the wheel Morning Star Staff
As the members of the Vernon Community Potters know, ceramics can come in many different shapes, sizes, textures and forms. And that is especially true when it comes to the finished product. About to show their work at Paddlewheel Park, the potters are featuring all kinds of ceramic forms – earthenware, stoneware and porcelain – from functional tableware to lifecasting. Shannon Boyd has been a potter for more than 10 years, having trained in both Ontario and Nova Scotia. She divides her time between Auckland, New Zealand and Vernon. “(My) intent is to make pottery that reminds us to cherish our everyday objects; to help us connect with our daily rituals as well as special occasions,” she said. Boyd makes what is described as exquisite functional tableware, using repetitive patterns to create rhythm and texture so that the user has both an engaging visual and tactile experience. Her patterns come from nature and she uses glaze to bring together her forms and pattern. Fellow member Gerry Greengrove began potting 10 years ago and now focuses his art on life-casting, where the human form is embraced through the use of molding and casting techniques. A member of the Lifecasters International Association, Greengrove is largely self-taught. He recently completed a week-long workshop with Dave Parvin, one of only five certified instructors in North America. Most of his casts have been commissioned works for individual clients, but he has a number of limited edition pieces available for sale at the Paddlewheel show. Greengrove’s art works of male and female torsos are finished in a variety of highly polished patinas. “I especially love doing hands. Each hand has its own particular character; all have a story to tell,” he said.
The Vernon Community Potters host their sale and exhibition by local artists and
artisans at Paddlewheel Park July 20 starting at 11 a.m. Musicians will also perform.

Live Well
HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist MARCIA BELEY
Some children experience motion sickness while traveling in cars. There are ways to minimize this by having the child focus on things outside the car, using a pillow to keep the head still, providing adequate air ventilation. Depending on the child’s age, some medications may help. Some people swear by acupressure wrist bands. They are non-medicated. Check with our pharmacists for advice. If a nosebleed occurs while traveling (or at anytime), tilt the head forward and pinch the soft part of the nostrils for 5 minutes. If the nosebleed still hasn’t stopped, do it for another 5 minutes, and if it still hasn’t stopped, get medical attention. One tip to see if your body has been getting enough fluid is to check the colour of your urine. If it’s dark yellow, you probably need to drink more water. During the hot days of summer, it’s important to drink more water since we lose a lot of fluid through sweating. People who have adopted a slovenly lifestyle for decades often feel it’s too late to change their health for the better. Not so! Just paying attention to four key health habits can change your health for the better no matter what your age. These habits are: eating five or more fruits and vegetables daily; not smoking; exercising (even walking) 30 minutes per day five days per week; and keeping your weight in the healthy range. When you think about it, it’s not much, but your heart will thank you! Take charge of your own health and let our pharmacists be on your health team.

Friday, 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. during the Avenue Market.

IMPLANT SUPPORTED DENTURE Are loose dentures a problem for you? If your dentures shift while chewing or talking and you are tired of those embarrasing moments, consider dental implants for stabilization.
Soup to Nutz
Imagine your denture snapping into place, feeling solid and secure. Often a new denture is not necessary. Your existing denture can be made to fit your new implants.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder DO NOT WIN A TRICK TWO TIMES OVER Willie Tyler, a ventriloquist, comedian and actor, said, “The reason lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place is that the same place isn’t there the second time.” How does this segue into a bridge deal? With difficulty! South is in four hearts. West leads the diamond ace. What ought to happen after that? North responded with the Jacoby Forcing Raise, showing four or more hearts, game-forcing values and, usually, no singleton or void (because with a short suit, North would have made a splinter bid). South rebid four hearts to indicate a minimum opening bid with no singleton or void.
At 999 tables out of 1,000, East would signal with his diamond nine under partner’s ace, starting a high-low with a doubleton. West would then cash the diamond king and give his partner a diamond ruff. Whatever East does next, though, South wins, draws trumps and claims 10 tricks: one spade, five hearts and four clubs. However, East should realize that he does not need a ruff to gain a trump trick. So he should not advertise his doubleton. Instead, he should play his diamond four at trick one. Then the spotlight falls on West. If East has just played a singleton, it would probably be right to continue diamonds. But if South has four diamonds, he would
have exactly 2-5-4-2 distribution, which is unlikely. Instead, West should think about shifting. And given the dummy, a spade looks better than a club. Note that this is the only way to defeat the contract, the defenders then taking one spade, one heart and two diamonds.

This important regulation will benefit me and many of you when flying with Canadian air operators. Soon, we will all be able to use our electronic devices during take-off, climbs, descends or lands, making it easier for me to use my computer a little longer to catch up on my e-mails instead of waiting until I am back in the riding or back in Ottawa.
“Being the product manager in charge of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado, isn’t always easy. But that challenge is probably what I like most about my job. We built a V8 engine that’s as fuel efficient as some V6s. People didn’t think that could be done, we did it. I’m proud of that.” - Carl Hillenbrand, Product Manager

The use of cameras, electronic games, tablets and computers during all phases of flight in Canada, will allow passengers to soon be able to use their electronic devices, provided their airline has met certain safety conditions. This is good news for children who want to keep using their electronic games during flight time. Please remember, the use of these devices onboard any flight is always at the discretion of the air operator. Colin Mayes is the MP for OkanaganShuswap.
