We get stuff that would probably go right to the dump.” Every nickel taken in by the auxiliary at The Bargain Bin is returned in a donation to healthcare. In 2013, the auxiliary contributed $50,000 to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation’s Building A Tower of Care Phase II

his, really, is a ragsto-riches story. Not in the general sense, mind you. This story of Armstrong’s Bargain Bin second-hand and usedclothing store involves the sale of common everyday household rags to help raise money for North Okanagan health care. On the outside, the Bargain Bin is a nondescript store in downtown Armstrong. White with blue trim, brick columns and a mural on its west side, created in 2000 by the youth of Armstrong, dedicated to multiculturalism. It’s situated beside the Deep Creek General Store on one side, and an alley separates it from The Brown Derby Restaurant on the other. Yet inside, there is something magical about the Bargain Bin, located at 3445 Pleasant Valley Boulevard. It’s magical because in a place where people come to look for, well, bargains on such items as used clothing, books, furniture, pictures, the highest price tag you might find is $5 or $10. And it’s magical because through the sale of books, which are priced at 25 cents unless they’re a new edition, then they’re $1; clothing, which is usually $1.50 to $2; other secondhand or new items and those rags, the Bargain Bin has raised and donated nearly $2 million to North Okanagan healthcare. “We cut rags,” said Judy Ells, treasurer of the Armstrong Spallumcheen Healthcare Auxiliary,
Valley Secondary School and Enderby’s A.L. Fortune Secondary School. “The stipulation is the student must be going into studies associated with the healthcare field,” said Karran. All this from a store where you could get, say, a brand new carpet cleaner – originally priced at $90 and never taken out of the box – for $10. “That should probably be a bit more,” blushed Ells. “It’s amazing the stuff that comes in.” The auxiliary celebrates its 80th anniversary this year. Founded in 1934 by
volunteers for the purpose of mending sheets, the Armstrong Spallumcheen Healthcare Auxiliary has diversified when necessary over the years. Volunteers got the idea a thrift shop would be a good way to raise funds. “They went through hell to find the right spot,” said Ells. “You’d have a spot, somebody would come up with a better idea.” The auxiliary has operated at its current Pleasant Valley Boulevard location since 1988, when they bought the building that housed, among other things, the general store that is now next door and a donair shop. In 1995, through fundraising and some help from an unnamed citizen, the auxiliary paid off the mortgage to the Bargain Bin. The Bargain Bin continues to be run solely by volunteers – and there are 67 of them, the vast majority women and all members of the auxiliary. They wear the required blue smocks with their name tags on one side, and the crest of the B.C. Association of Healthcare Auxiliaries on the other (the group is a registered society). They are forever busy sorting clothes, stacking books and cutting rags. “There are days I feel sorry for the girls because they don’t have time to sit down,” said Ells. For its dedication and its hard work, the auxiliary was awarded the City of Armstrong’s Recognition of Excellence award earlier this year. The Bargain Bin is open Tuesday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday.

Jake Black, three, bails out his boat during a day at kin Beach. Despite the recent hot spell, temperatures are expected to ease up a little this week with temperatures barely reaching 30 and a chance of showers today and Monday.
An arrest has been made in a fire that forced several people to flee a Vernon townhouse complex. At about 7:30 a.m. Thursday, fire broke out in one of the units in the 1900 block of 44th Street. As a result, a 19-year-old male occupant of the unit was arrested by the police and was expected in court Friday on charges of arson with disregard for human life. “There is some indication that the incident is a result of a dispute of the two tenants,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “When officers followed up on information, they learned about the dispute. Later in the day, the suspect came to our office and was arrested.” Molendyk would not go into details about how the fire was ignited, but did say it was mainly confined to one bedroom. Officials had been concerned the fire may spread into the rest of the townhouse complex as it’s an older structure and the units are contiguous. The investigation continues by the police and Vernon Fire Department and it’s not believed that this case is related to other recent arsons in the community.
Smoking bylaw ignites debate in Armstrong roger knox Morning Star Staff
An idea to create an outdoor smoking bylaw in Armstrong created considerable debate amongst council. Representatives from Interior Health and the Canadian Cancer Society gave a power point presentation on smoke-free communities to council, stating the benefits of quitting smoking as well as the health and economic impact of banning smoking in public places. Coun. Paul Britton made a motion to create what he called a “healthy living” bylaw that would focus on being smoke-free in public places. “We need to start small,” said Britton. “We wouldn’t want to lump
in bars and restaurants. I think we should support this initiative in a public place like the arena, outside our properties or the (IPE) fairgrounds. “In our public places that the taxpayers pay for, we should have a bylaw.” T h r e e members of council Paul Britton were against B r i t t o n’s m o t i o n : Mayor Chris Pieper, and Couns. John Trainor and Kelly Rowe, with Trainor being the most vocal. “We have a group coming to us
who are an obvious paid dog-andpony show sent out by IHA (Interior Health Authority) asking as to create more rules for more people because apparently we don’t have the common sense to do anything for ourselves without some government organization telling us we need to do it. It’s ridiculous,” said Trainor. Rowe said she wouldn’t support a proposed bylaw particularly for events like Funtastic. The slo-pitch tournament is held every July long weekend with teams camping out at the IPE Fairgrounds. “All of those people coming from out of town to camp at Funtastic, the idea of saying nobody at these events can have a cigarette on the grounds...I don’t think is reasonable,” said Rowe.
SUNGLASSES.
Pieper feels such a bylaw would be impossible to enforce. “I don’t like smoking, and I’ve never smoked, but how would we police it?” said the mayor. The presentation to council focused on outdoor areas such as trails, parks, beaches and even outdoor patios. Britton withdrew his motion but did point out that in the presentation, there were 40 other communities around the province who have adopted similar smoke-free bylaws. “I’d like our staff to investigate what these communities have in place and report back to us,” said Britton. “Some of these communities are pretty close to us.” North Okanagan-Shuswap communities with a smoke-free bylaw

include Lumby, Salmon Arm and Shuswap. Council voted unanimously on a second Britton motion to research healthy living-themed bylaws along with information on regulations on smoking in and around public buildings.

Bill Wagner also called for some guidelines, such as a limit on how many suites are allowed in a particular area.

Chris Brothen questioned the need to change the owner occupancy rule based on other cities across the province. “There has not been a legal challenge to this requirement in any jurisdiction,” he said. Chris Brothen added that his neighbourhood’s concerns are not an attempt to prevent rental suites. “We do encourage secondary suite usage in Vernon. They provide mortgage help and allow families to stay together longer,” he said.

Councillor questions staffing priorities richard rolke Morning Star Staff
City of Vernon staff are being accused of pursuing priorities in the wrong order. Coun. Catherine Lord is questioning the division of work within the engineering department. “We’re spending more time on longterm things and not current development,” she said, adding that applications from businesses and investors that could bolster the economy should be addressed first. “We’re regularly getting comments that we’re not open for business.”
However, Rob Dickinson, engineering general manager, says his staff has found a balance between immediate business requests and long-term infrastructure planning. “Some of our bylaws are 30 or 40 years old. We need to fix the bylaws and we do that when we have that (staff) capacity.” Lord insists she will continue to monitor the situation. “I want engineering to detail how they spend their time,” she said. The Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce has called on the city to create efficiencies, especially when it comes to

the building permit process. “There is a high degree of frustration in the community,” said Rob Tedham, chamber director. “It’s a detriment to forward growth in our community.” The chamber provided advice to the city as it developed a new subdivision and development servicing bylaw. Mayor Rob Sawatzky agrees there is a need for the city to be customer-friendly and efficient when receiving development applications from businesses. “This is one step in the changes,” he said of the new bylaw.
Water quality concerns have come to an end at an Oyama beach. The poor water quality rating was removed Friday at Pioneer Park on Kalamalka Lake. “The water quality samples have been showing closer to the normal rating and sampling and monitoring will continue as per the normal routine,” said Karen Miller, District of Lake Country communications officer. “It is at moderate currently and after a consistent run of lower results the rating will return to good.” Swimming was not recommended at Pioneer Park after a poor water quality advisory was initiated July 11. The cause of the poor water quality is unknown.

Township approves bridges and rail crossing richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Some big bucks are being spent on infrastructure in Spallumcheen. Council has approved repairs to the McCallan Road bridge, replacement of the Stepney Road bridge and installation of a new concrete rail crossing on Larkin Cross Road. “These are big ticket items and we have to fix them because of pub-
lic safety,” said Mayor Janice Brown. Staff will proceed with a request for proposal to complete repairs to the McCallan Road bridge and proceed with the repairs not to exceed $33,000 before Aug. 31. “It only serves one house but we have to do that,” said Brown. Also on the agenda is replacement of the Stepney Road bridge. The original estimate for the work

manager. “CN has further noted that the existing rubber crossing is damaged and cannot be reinstalled. Staff and CN agree that the best crossing material for Larkin Cross Road is concrete because of its heavy use.” Township staff were not aware of concerns about the railway crossing until recently so the project was not part of the 2014 budget. The $20,000 will come from
the contingency fund. “CN Rail has agreed to provide the township with adequate notice of future upgrades, enabling staff to include these projects in our annual budget process,” said Forslund. Brown admits that its projects like these that impact township finances and property taxes. “We’re trying to be more vocal about what we spend money on,” she said.

“Some of them have not been changed since 1997,” said Greg Betts, chief administrative officer. No direction has been provided yet by staff, but one possible option is that remuneration be tied directly to the consumer price index. “This would be for future councils and not for us,” said Mayor Janice Brown. “We are trying to get everything ready for the next council.” Current members of council have turned down salary increases for the last two years, but Brown insists it’s important for those individuals running in November’s municipal election to know about remuneration in advance. “People will know that’s all they are getting,” she said. Presently, the mayor receives $18,819 a year, while each of the six councillors receives $9,410.

Eugene Foisy, regional district director, speaks to a group of residents, elected officials and Ministry of Forest personnel about the local community forest.
Cherryville talks timber Morning Star Staff
Cherryville residents were able to bend the ear of senior provincial officials about forestry issues. Dave Peterson, B.C.’s chief forester, as well as Ministry of Forest staff, met with the Cherry Ridge Management Committee which oversees the local community forest. “We spoke about the community forest in relation to the principles of neighbourly stewardship,” said Hank Cameron, with the committee. B.C. Timber Sales personnel were present and they presented plans for a road on steep terrain north of the community forest on Cherry Ridge. The government agency intends to log about 1,200 truckloads from the bench above those slopes. “There was general discussion about the recent hydrology report and geotechnical assessment,” said Cameron. “Cherryville representatives shared local information about soils and stream crossings in that area. Ministry personnel were pleased to access
meteorological data from the weather stations at the school and Claude Labine’s location.” During the meeting, Peterson spoke about his impression of Cherryville’s community forest. “He approves of our policy to invest our proceeds in community projects in collaboration with other local non-profit societies,” said Cameron. “He spoke about his role as chief forester in setting the level of the provincial timber harvest and its distribution between various tenures.” Eugene Foisy, regional district director, suggested the committee could help with timber pricing for specific products. “Our contractors have top-notch skills not only in select harvest but also silviculture and fire control,” said Cameron. “We know what it costs to renovate abandoned legacy roads including right of way prep, drainage structures, grade construction, surfacing and maintenance. We have supported these projects through the proceeds of our log sales.”
Kal Lakeview Drive gets fire protection richard rolke Morning Star Staff
A Greater Vernon neighbourhood will soon be able to call firefighters during an emergency. The Regional District of North Okanagan board has given three readings to a bylaw that would allow the Kalamalka Lakeview Drive area to contract the City of Vernon for fire protection. “This is a petition-led service,” said David Sewell, RDNO chief administrative officer. The area, which is south of David Sewell the Kalamalka Lake lookout, currently has no fire protection. “The costs have gone to the electors in the area (for consideration) and greater than 50 per cent have said they agree to the service,” said Sewell of the 39 parcels of land with 68 owners. Under the five-year agreement, the fee payable
to the city for the service is $1.50 per $1,000 of improved assessed value. “It’s standard when services are charged in other jurisdictions,” said director Juliette Cunningham. The service is for structure fires only and does not include wildfires, motor vehicle accidents or first medical responders. The service will be provided out of the downtown Vernon fire hall although the Predator Ridge fire hall may be used once that facility is open.

An unfortunate omission
’m a guy who’s always looking for tidbits on how to live one’s life or at least advice on how to get the most out of one’s life. Especially lately. I don’t know, maybe it’s a bit of a midlife crisis or something but then I was an English major so I’ve always been on a bit of a quest for knowledge, wisdom, anything that addresses the mysteries, along with the frustrations, of life. And, pretty much from any source. Of course the Shakespeares and Chaucers and the like have something to say about the human condition worth considering, after all we’re all dealing with “the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.” So any “quote of the Glenn Mitchell day” feature that includes greats from the past I’m all over it. I figure it’s a good idea to listen to people who are a lot smarter than me and that those who have lived through extraordinary events might have some insights that we could also learn from. But I also check my horoscope most days, not that I put much stock in it, but often it’s just advice anyway so I check it out, in the newspaper of course. I’m an Aries but I’m not a typical one, according to most sources, and my wife is an Aries, and that’s supposed to be a no-no, but it’s 21 years and counting so we’re getting by just fine thank you very much. And I just don’t get why people who just happen to be born around the same time of the year should share the same characteristics as well. I happen to think birth order in a family has way more to do with how we turn out as people than actual birth dates, but then that’s just a theory too, there is that genetic vs. environment thing. Although, like Malcolm Gladwell, I do believe birth dates have something to do with success in sports, and if you want to know more check out his book called Outliers. Interesting stuff.
MitChEll’S MuSingS
But another source I like to check from time to time, like whenever I order Chinese food, are fortune cookies. Again, kind of like horoscopes, it’s more often advice than predictions you can count on, but they fascinate me and I even like to collect them to both see if they turn out to be true or simply offer advice I can turn to later in my life. Like I said, I’m looking for guidance here in middle life. Here’s a sampling, and commentary, of the collection cluttering up my personal counter space at home: n A new work opportunity will avail itself. (very interesting for a guy in my position) n You will take a pleasant journey to a place far away. (been trying to get to New York for awhile now, so good, good) n Your efforts in a critical area will soon be rewarded. (kind of general but OK) n Don’t worry about the stock market. Invest in family. (nice sentiment but have you checked the stock market lately?) n An unexpected windfall will be yours. (I do buy lottery tickets so this is very good and one day I will try out the six numbers on the back of the message because, well, why not?) So last weekend it was with some anticipation that I opened another fortune cookie after enjoying another fine meal from one of my favourite local establishments. Hopefully something to think about and another message to ponder and at least another small piece of paper to add to my collection of clutter at home. But, alas, and I don’t think this has happened to me before, there was nothing. No fortune? How could that be? Now, intellectually, I understand it was just a quality control issue back at the factory but it bothered me more than it should have. I’ve had two fortunes on occasion, so I just pick the best one, but what am I supposed to do with none? Luckily I just happen to have old ones lying around to replace the missing one so I’m choosing to go with the last one on the list above and I’m actually going to go and buy that lottery ticket. Maybe this will turn out to be fortunate after all.
For starters, kudos to the B.C. SPCA and the dedicated people who work for it. Like emergency responders, police and any number of other public servants, they get important work done in the most trying circumstances imaginable. Speaking of trying circumstances for an average dog, how about a mid-afternoon, mid-July sidewalk in the North Okanagan? We’ve been sweltering through a heat wave for a couple of weeks and still, people are walking their dogs like they always do. Here’s a sincere request, one the SPCA would most likely support: please stop it. Leave your dog at home where they know how to stay cool. Even if it’s an expensive, rare breed that you love to show off‚ why not leave home without him or her if you’re headed into the heat? Going somewhere in the car or truck? These kind of warnings go double. It’s shocking that such extreme animal cruelty can arise out of ignorance. Of course, most people don’t intend to torture their pets, but that’s exactly what all-too-often happens to a dog or cat in a parked vehicle in the sunlight. Even in the wake of the highly publicized deaths of six dogs in a Lower Mainland truck some weeks back, SPCA branches in B.C. are responding to high number of animal rescues from parked vehicles. Is this a message you’re tired of hearing because you hear it every summer? Of course it is. But as long these public acts of neglect and, yes, cruelty continue, so will the pleading that these incidents stop. – Black Press

tractor saFEty Many farmers driving tractors are on the roads at this time of year. They slow the traffic down. These farmers are working long days to grow our fresh, local food. Instead of getting frustrated with tractors on the roads, show appreciation and respect to farmers and thank them for our B.C.-grown fruit, vegetables, grains, meats and dairy foods. sheri austin
Standing up for education
n response to A. Christiansen's letter in The Morning Star, I recently had to walk through the parking lot where my parents advisory council was setting up the fun fair that I cannot attend because I am locked out of the property. I was supposed to be there helping. My PAC works so hard for our school and it is so supportive of us right now, and I can't be there to help them because the B.C. Public School Employers Association and Christy Clark hopes to break those bonds and us. And I don't need to suck it up and I don't need to be reminded of how lucky I am and I don't need to know how tough it was before, because I have been a teacher since 1978. I would hope we've learned to do our job and serve students better than the tough, old past. I have had a masters degree for most of my career. I have taught every grade from kindergarten to 12. I have been a teacher for students with every kind of exceptional learning need in elementary, secondary and segregated settings. I have been a teacher librarian and I am now a kindergarten teacher by choice. I was a PAC and DPAC member for 17 years and I was a high school PAC president. I have been before, and am currently, a staff representative. I think I am pretty good at my job and I know it is tough, and I still love it and kids, and I know what students need and students
deserve. I know what teachers need and deserve to do the job, the most important job on earth according to most, except this government which I am sure would rather have an uneducated public to work for a not-living wage, ignorant and hungry and tired, too tired to fight or stand and fight. It's a government that believes shareholders should be paid first, a government that doesn't understand what it should be elected to do, only what it owes those who elected it. And I don't need a critique on how eloquent or well-written my rant is or isn't, and I don't need to hear how I shouldn't want to give this government my pay. I don't want to give the government my pay, but if I don't stand up for public education with all the other I's on the line with me, my own grown children will never earn a living wage because this is bigger than us. As educators, someone has to be the canary in the coal mine again, as our history proves.
wrong dirEction I have remained very silent on the decisions made by Lake Country mayor and council for the past three years as I believe new councils should have the opportunity to learn the ropes before the public takes them to task too harshly. However, I now feel obligated to comment on some issues that I find deeply concerning that are occurring in the Lake Country municipal operations. Council has reduced the building inspection department to one staff member. This decision does not make sense especially on the heels of the mayor attending a press conference about the economic benefit of the Lakestone development and
Do I feel sick in the pit of my stomach? You bet. Do I wonder how I am going to pay for things that have to be paid for? You bet I do. Will I ever regain the lost wages as I am so close to retirement? Probably not. Will this impact my pension? Yup. Will this impact when I actually get to retire? Yup. But someone else did this for me in my early and later career. This is bigger than me and not about me, but about public education, and we are the ones qualified to speak to it and to speak up for it. Oh, and don't tell me my union is separate from me or making decisions for me and about me. I am the B.C. Teachers Federation. I am the Vernon Teachers Association. No decisions are made without my input. Every time through provincewide votes, through provincial rep assembly votes and through local rep assembly votes, they are made with all of the information, not just information that affects me
the expected number of units that are now being built. In addition, housing starts are up 16 per cent over last year in the Central Okanagan and are expected to continue to rise in 2015. The one staff member responsible for commercial inspections, secondary suite inspections and new residential inspections is entitled to holidays and sick days. How can the day-to-day business requirements of the community be managed? I have also heard rumours that our community will be reduced to one statutory officer to oversee our community funds and budgets. This is a very dangerous situation and the risk and lack of oversight of our public funds is of grave concern to me.
and not just information I know about. Throughout my adult life as teacher, as a staff rep and as a member on community organizations, decisions made that are good for everyone have always been good for me or my children and my community. And I believe my executive here and in Vancouver will welcome creative ideas for taking a stand and I believe they will take all of the information and direct me the best they can. They are all you and me, not some others. Trust me, I have seen them dance at summer general meeting and they look just like us. I count on them to have the big picture because I am in my classroom with the rest of my colleagues, focused on students and learning. I cannot know what is best for all of us so that is why I elected them. Even if no one reads this, I feel better having written it. It is not business as usual and it sucks but if we don't stand together, we will be poked in the eye and the heart and the soul one-by-one and teaching will be...I don't even want to imagine, it is too sad. I want my younger colleagues to stay in the profession and be able to do their job without the difficulties and disrespect we have experienced over the last 12 years or more. I want them to love going to work. Our students deserve and need that. Margaret E. Fraser
For those who may feel that my comments may be pre-election posturing, at this time, I have other projects and am not considering running for Lake Country council. However, I hope my comments give some members of council an opportunity to reflect and reconsider their decision-making and to do the right thing and try to back the train up before our community heads down the track on a collision course with disaster. If they can't, myself and other community members may be obligated to step up to the plate and try to repair the damage in November. noreen guenther, Former Lake country councillor

with the time it has taken to get water serviced to his lot a couple of years after paying to be included in the Lakepine water utility that was taken over by the district. Gordon Blue says he paid a $3,900 fee to be included in the Lakepine Water system in Carr’s Landing in 2010 but his lot is still unserviced by water and he has decided to put it up for sale rather than continue to wait. “Years after applying for water we are sitting dry,” said Blue, 75, a retired Vancouver resident who purchased his lot in 1981 with plans to retire to Lake Country. “At this point I have put the lot up for sale. At this stage of my life do I really want to keep banging my head against the wall?” The District of Lake Country took over the previously privatelyowned Lakepine Water Utility in 2011 and added it to the district’s water system, moving about 70 residents onto district water. It was one of several private water utilities the district has taken over since it incorporated and there are several more still operating in Lake Country. While Blue’s lot, and one other, is included within the boundaries of the Lakepine system, the lots are physically located in an area that is serviced by another private utility called the
Moberly system, a small utility with just 11 connections. “When we were asked to be part of Lakepine, they wanted to get as many people to be a part of it so that the costs were reduced for everyone,” said Blue. “We don’t want to wait anymore. We want some sort of service to the Lake Country water system. I’m just banging my head against the wall and it shouldn’t be that way. This is a negative approach to development.” Currently the only way to get water to Blue’s lot and the other lot in question would be to run a water line through a private property to the east of the two lots. That would mean running the line through the property of Lake Country mayor James Baker. Baker says his land has already been surveyed for a possible water right-of-way and he has no problem allowing the district to run a line through his property. However he says the issue is more complicated than just running a line to service the two lots. “I would like to see a system that included everyone (in that area) and become a proper system with proper fire flows, good water pressure and good water,” said Baker. “I think it just needs to best serve the entire community not just two individuals. There are other lots
that would like water as well.” The district says it has applied for a grant from the provincial government to investigate how best to bring the residents of the Moberly system onto district water and is waiting to hear if they will receive funding for the study this year. District engineering director Michael Mercer says Lake Country has taken over several private water utilities in the past but says the first step in the process is investigating the costs of a takeover as private landowners must foot the bill. “These (water utilities) are very complicated to take over. When you inherit a water utility there are all kinds of issues,” said Mercer who admitted Blue’s lot was a unique case. “This is a land-locked lot. We are looking at the most cost effective way. There are options but they are very expensive.” For Blue, he says waiting for a study or other action on his lot is frustrating. He says he has paid to be included on the Lake Country water system and the district has been dragging its feet and adds that he he has no option other than to put his lot on the market. “I paid my money and I trusted that the district was going to get water to my lot,” he said. “It’s been completely frustrating.”

Shuswap plan needs input

A nearly decadeold development could finally be moving ahead in Coldstream. A subdivision application from 2008 has been resurrected as options are looked at for a new zone. There is currently a five-unit apartment on the Clerke Road property (the former CKAL radio station building). The application is to divide the lot into three lots to allow the property to be developed as three separate multifamily projects. But since the property does not conform to the bylaw due to the layout of the existing structure, Coldstream has been looking at zoning changes. “I think this is a reasonable project and I’d hate for us to hold it up any more than it already has been,” said Coun. Pat Cochrane. Other housekeeping changes to the existing R3 zone are being held off for official community plan discussions.
motorized recreational opportunities, resolving the conflict between boaters and residents and increasing safety. “People live on the river and they want to recreate in the way they choose to and we have to find that balance,” said Pearase. Among the potential options are a no wake zone between Mara Lake and the Trinity Valley bridge, a non-motorized watercraft zone between the Trinity Valley bridge and Mabel Lake and from Mabel Lake to Shuswap Falls.

The public will play a role in deciding what uses are appropriate on and near the Shuswap River. The Regional District of North Okanagan board has approved the implementation of the Shuswap River watershed sustainability plan and its 2014/15 strategies. “We are getting the endorsement from other councils which is encouraging but we need to go to the public and stakeholders for consultation,” said director Jackie Pearase. “Whether people are for or against, we want to hear from them.” Among the strategies is considering all available options for boating regulations to reduce erosion of the river bank, protecting riparian areas, improving non-
Another priority is improving consultation and community input on watershed management through the creation of an independent advisory committee. Other goals are improving public education and possibly restoring high-value riparian areas. Pearase is encouraging all residents to take part in developing a sustainability plan. “This will be a two to three-year process,” said Pearase.

Park consultations in play Morning Star Staff
Vernon residents can provide input on parks at a number of locations this summer. The City of Vernon is currently developing a parks master plan and consultation stations will be at Foothills Park Friday from 10 a.m. until 12:30 p.m., Sawicki Park Friday from 2 to 4:30 p.m., the Vernon Farmers Market July 28 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., Kin Beach July 29 from 9:30

Cosens Bay access could grow richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Pressure is growing for disabled access at a popular beach as long as it doesn’t burden local taxpayers. The Regional District of North Okanagan wants B.C. Parks to provide two wheelchair parking spaces at Cosens Bay beach in Kalamalka Lake

Provincial Park. However, director Mike Macnabb admits he is concerned about possible government downloading. “Who is responsible for looking after that (parking space maintenance)?” he said. “Are we supposing we’d take control of this?” However, RDNO staff don’t believe Macnabb has anything to worry about. “It’s a provincial park and this is a task that they (B.C. Parks) consider doing this,” said David Sewell, chief administrative officer.
Drop-in fees climb by a quarter richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Lumby area residents will pay slightly more when just dropping in for recreational programs. The White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee has proposed a 25-cent increase to drop-in fees for 2014/15.
“We have fallen behind in increasing the fees for certain drop-in programs such as swimming and skating,” said director Randal Ostafichuk. “We have held off on any increase in these fees for ease of payment, keeping the amounts a nice round figure such as $2 rather than $2.17, but it was
decided that we were about eight per cent behind the actual increase in costs for these programs.” Directors agreed to hike drop-in fees by 25 cents to avoid a large hike in the future. For more most other rentals and programs, costs will climb 2.71 per cent in 2014/15.

Shamrocks go down swinging Morning Star Staff
The Armstrong Shamrocks fought their hardest but lost the Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League championship to the Kelowna Raiders. The Raiders stopped the Shamrocks 10-6 Friday night at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Raiders swept the Shamrocks in the best-of-three league final. “We played with a lot of heart, however, we lost to the best team tonight. Congratulations goes to the Kelowna Raiders as they were the better team in the finals,” said Shamrocks’ goaltender Chad Pieper. “Back to the drawing board I guess.” Earlier in the week Pieper said that the two teams didn’t like each other and the two teams combined for 167 penalty minutes, including six fighting majors and three game misconducts. The Rocks trailed 2-1 after the first despite wearing out a path to the box in the first period. Kriss Yargeau sniped the Rocks first goal. Shamrocks’ runner Travis Lee went down swinging in front of a few hundred fans. Lee racked up 40 penalty minutes with a fight and three misconducts in the first. The Raiders seized control in the second period with six goals. Jordan Innes sniped a pair in the period as Cody Evans, Joe Brown, Nick Evans and Patrick McMillan added singles. Brown later sniped two more for the hatty and Pho Heng added a single. “They are a good team. We tried to key in on a few guys, but they spread the floor well and they have several guys who can score. That always makes it tough,” said Pieper. Jarrett Medhurst sniped a hatty for the Irish and Kas Boudreau and Rob Rintoul added singles. LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR Rintoul fought off a few checks in the corner, rolled out to the front of Steve Clark of the Armstrong Shamrocks tries to get past Sean Blake (left) and Dillon MacLennan (right) of the the net and found the top corner after a few nifty moves for the nicest goal Kelowna Raiders in senior lacrosse action Friday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. of the night. “We just got stuck in our own end too much in the second,” said Pieper who made 37 stops. season series with the Shamrocks 4-1 Added Shamrocks’ coach Chad Pounder, “we started to turn it around in the third but “We would like to thank all the fans that supported us this year, along with the volunit was just too little too late.” teers that make lacrosse happen in Armstrong.

League championship on line for Tigers, Venom Morning Star Staff
The league’s top offence will duke it out with the league’s top defence in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League best-of-five finals. The Vernon Tigers battled the Kamloops Venom in Game 1 Saturday night at Memorial Arena. “We’ve known for a long time that this was going to be the series. Just because we are both through to provincials, doesn’t mean it is going to be a light series,” said Tigers’ captain Brett Hanna. With Kal Tire Place hosting provincials, both teams have punched their ticket to the dance regardless of the outcome of this series. Kamloops will represent the Okanagan.
The Tigers went 1-2-1 against the Venom this year and were the only team to knock them off. The Venom trio of snipers Brady Jorgensen, Riley Peterson and Kyle Pauwels dominated the league. Jorgensen scored an incomprehensible 66 goals and 103 points. Peterson was no slouch either, with 26 goals and 73 points and Pauwels sniped 32 goals and 64 points. Jorgensen has a natural ability to find the back of the net. In the four games versus the
Cats this spring, Jorgensen had 14 goals. The Tigers are up to the challenge of cooling off the Venom. Their 85 goals against was a league-best. They are led by a veteran defensive core and a goaltender who is having a remarkable year. “We have an understanding that we are playing for each other. It isn’t about who scores more points, it is all about winning,” said Hanna. The Tigers’ defensive unit led by Bayne Bosquet and Hanna have been physical all year, forcing people away from the middle of the rink. “They are gonna have to earn it against us. We are going to identify our checks early and not let them choose the match ups,” said Hanna. “It is just one more mind game we
can use.” Aaron Jensen was the top goalie with a .833 save percentage and a 4.525 goals against average. “I’ll always keep an eye out for them on the floor and communicate with our defence lots so we know where they are,” said Jensen. Added Hanna, “A.J. has a great mental game. He’s not the type that gets bothered when a few goals go in. It’s easy to play in front of him.” The Cats captain is feeling confident about the series. “I think we will take it in four at home next Friday night,” said Hanna. Game two goes 7:30 p.m. Monday night at Kal Tire Place.

a great learning experience. We focused on the technical part of the game rather than just getting the job done,” said de Boer. The camp focused on drills and techniques rather than competition as the players wore helmets but no pads. “We worked a lot on doing your job; maintaining your gaps, disengaging from linemen and reading plays,” said de Boer. If de Boer does well in Ohio, he has a shot at being selected for the U.S Army AmericanBowl, a game that has produced some of the elite football players you see on TV every Sunday during NFL season. De Boer is coming off a dominant season on both sides of the ball, leading the Maroons to a 3-2 regular season record. “He was definitely our best lineman. He is a big tall kid and he was able to help us out on the offensive line sometimes. We often slid him over to play centre and left guard,” said Fulton football head coach Mike Scheller. De Boer finished tied for third in B.C. AA varsity with seven sacks, accompanied by

Vernon’s Carson de Boer of the Fulton Maroons hoped to catch the eye of U.S. college scouts at a top football prospects camp in Ohio. 38 tackles. “My go-to is the ripand-swim move. I can get to other running backs and quarterbacks pretty quickly,” said de Boer. The 16-year-old can move pretty quick for somebody who stands 6-foot-3 and walks around at 225 pounds. He runs a 4.85 40-yard dash, which is just three-tenths of a second slower than the NFL’s 2014 first overall draft pick, Jadeveon Clowney, also a defensive end.
“I’d say I was as fast as most of the kids down there. The biggest difference was the size. Some of them were a lot bigger than me,” said de Boer. Added Scheller, “Carson is a really good kid with a great attitude. He is a workout machine which is something you need to be able to play in the States. He loves football, he wants to play as much as he can.” While at Football University camp, de
Boer worked with former NFL coach Tim Krumrie and trainer Thurmond Moore. Krumrie, who played for the Cincinnati Bengals for 11 years and has been a defensive line coach for the Bengals and Buffalo Bills, said de Boer was “one of the most improved players and one of the most talented d-men at the camp.” When asked where his allegiance lies in the NFL, de Boer said it’s with the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks and the Houston Texans. “I really like J.J. Watt (Texans’ d-lineman) for what he does on and off the field. I admire him for playing hard and the way he gives back to the community,” said de Boer, who turns 16 next month and is keeping his options open. “I don’t have a preference; going to school in the States is definitely a goal of mine, but I just want to play at the highest level I can,” said de Boer. The former Vernon Wolverines minor football player is preparing for his Grade 12 season at Fulton, with camp tentatively opening Aug. 19.

Derksen pulls Messier-like prediction for Attack Morning Star Staff
Tessa Derksen’s spider senses were tingling when she predicted the Centreline Attack’s second win of the season on a smoky night. The Attack edged the Mix 3-2 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 2 play Thursday night at Marshall #1. Peggy Scheipp and Monika Jatel both sniped lovely goals for the Attack (2-9), while Amber Miller rifled one home from the 18. Azra Crawley was confident and unstoppable in the first half in net for the purple ladies. Derksen took over in net the second half.
Mud Sharks conquer Crew
The Do-Itt Drywall Mud Sharks downed the Capri Brew Crew 5-2 at Marshall Field #2. Jenelle Petersen was superb in net for the Mud Sharks (9-2) as Hailey Noakes and Lenai Schmidt each sniped a pair and Bryanna Cole added a single. Sheri Macdonald scored on a breakaway for the Brew Crew (6-4-1) and Morgayne Eby rocketed one top corner from just inside the 18.
Neudorf, Baker lead Sistas
OTC/Sunterra Sistas edged the Green Rockets 2-1 at MacDonald Park. Deanna Baker banged in the first goal
from a cross from Diane Neudorf for the Sistas (10-1). Neudorf and Baker swapped roles for the second goal as if they were in Freaky Friday. Neudorf and Jennie Currie spilt the keeper duties. The Green Rockets fell to 7-4.
Silver Stars stop Kal Tire
Wolfgang Bopp scored twice as the Silver Stars grounded Kal Tire 4-1 in Okanagan Men’s 55+ Soccer League play at MacDonald Park. Bopp stripped a defender of the ball and beat keeper Gordie Campbell just four minutes into the second half. Keith Chancellor
made it 2-0, after a nifty feed from Nigel Clack, 10 minutes later. Jenne Huberts took a cross from Mark DeVolder, challenged a defender and outwaited towering keeper Dave Gould, in tight, to pull the tiremen within one late. Bopp and Colin Greveling, with his first goal since the 2010 World Cup, completed the offence as the Stars improved to 10-0-1. Clack, a central midfielder, took the Red Robin Man of the Match. Central midfielder Jim Sparrow was the Rosters Sports Club Man of the Match for Kal Tire (4-6-1). Terry Lowe earned a clean sheet in the Kal Tire net for the opening 45 minutes.

Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL
YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY Don’t take anything or anyone for granted. Use your insight and diligent work ethic to reach your goals. Be clear about what you have to offer and what you expect in return. A well-planned approach to personal and professional changes will ensure that you reach your desired destination. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Make sure that you have a strong backup crew for your commitments. The best plans will fall short if there are not enough people to get the job done.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You will be overly sensitive today. Take your mind off matters by reading or watching a movie. You’ll make matters worse if you live in the past or rehash regrets or disappointments. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have the self-discipline to get rid of a bad habit. A new friendship is likely to develop if you join a selfhelp group or organization. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You will need patience when dealing with personal, financial or domestic issues. If you are concerned about legal matters, consult a professional for advice before you make a move. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) A challenging situation will require your personal touch. If you listen to the complaints voiced and consider options that will satisfy everyone’s needs, you’ll gain respect.

Your abilities as a spokesperson will gain you respect and recognition. You are on the fast track to a leadership position. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Getting involved in squabbles will get you nowhere. Focus your energy on home improvement projects, and avoid any conflict going on around
you. Keeping the peace will ensure that you stay friends with everyone. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You will be pleasantly surprised at the fun you have while out with friends or family. Taking part in an activity will allow you to show off what you have to offer. Romance is highlighted. ARIES (March 21-April 19) If you look for it, you will discover a new way to increase your cash flow. Money will slip through your fingers if you don’t budget carefully. Avoid the easy-come-easy-go lifestyle.

Whitetail project all about style barry gerding Black Press
Brad Pelletier, vice-president of Predator Ridge developer Wesbild, says with the golf course community about 25 per cent completed for potential development, Whitetail could send a strong signal about the design direction of the remaining land. “For us right now, I think Whitetail rivals or is arguably more important than our golf courses,” Pelletier said. Why is Whitetail such an exciting prospect for Wesbild? Pelletier says it is for two reasons. One is the desire to step away from the linear design of houses ringing around a golf course, to reduce the house density and move toward more a cluster concept where five or six homes are located together separated from similar clusters by the natural environment landscape. Second is moving in a different architectural direction, away from traditional Craftsman style homes currently prevalent at Predator Ridge to a unique presentation that responds to the Okanagan landscape and lifestyle. “In working with our three architects on this project, it means more contemporary roof lines, greater emphasis on outdoor lifestyle opportunities within the home, and more glass and wood treatments for the interior,” Pelletier said. Claire Radford, the resort’s property specialist, says Whitetail is designed to fulfill the wish lists of a wide range of buyers. “There will be a few estate lots for people who want that added space and privacy. We’ll also have something that has been in short supply (at Predator Ridge), rancher lots in a range of sizes for buyers who prefer a single-level home. Radford says cottage-style properties with a garage will be “ideal for buyers who want a smaller full-time residence, or who spend winters in the south and plan to be here for six months of the year.” The neighbourhood will offer a selection of west- and east-facing lots, with views of the Ridge and Predator golf courses and in some cases Okanagan Lake, ranging in price from the $200,000s up to $600,000. “It’s something people are very particular about,” said Radford. “Our buyers from Alberta tend to really want to face into the bright afternoon sun while those who have been living in the Okanagan for a while tend to prefer the morning sun and softer afternoon light.” And situated between the fairways of the two Predator Ridge golf courses, Whitetail residents will be within easy walking dis-
predator ridge photos
Predator ridge golf resort has launched its Whitetail development (above) and residents will have access to a number of recreational amenities, including groomed trails (below). tance to the resort’s many other amenities, such as a fitness centre, sports pub, gourmet dining, 12 kilometres of groomed hiking trails and the Commonage Market. Pelletier is enthused that the less predictable development approach for Whitetail will be enticing to residents — maintaining the integrity of the natural land layout and characteristics, winding instead of straightarrow streets that offer a surprise around each corner — will be enticing to buyers. And where those buyers will come from, he adds, is almost across Canada as Predator Ridge “works hard to market ourselves in areas where others don’t.” He says buyers are attracted to the Okanagan development from the Lower Mainland and Alberta, as well as further east to Saskatchewan, Ontario and Quebec. Nearby Sparkling Hill Resort has also added an aspect for buyers to consider. “They are a fantastic partner for us on our site and we are able to offer our homeowners exclusive day use of the spa’s facilities in the same way they can offer access to golf here as well,” said Pelletier.

Winery founders honoured Morning Star Staff
The Canadian Vintners Association has announced the results of the inaugural Canadian Wine Industry Awards and Lake Country’s Gray Monk Estates is the recipient of the award of distinction for outstanding leadership, commitment and passion for the advancement of the Canadian wine industry. “It is a great honour to recognize George and Trudy Heiss, of Gray Monk Estates, B.C.’s oldest family owned and operated winery, with the award of distinction,” said Tony Stewart, CVA chairperson. “The Heiss’ are trail blazers and can be credited with bringing many high quality vinifera vines to Canada, as well as helping to establish the Vintners Quality Alliance.” The Canadian Vintner’s Association awards recognize individuals, organizations and businesses that have gone above and beyond to support and enhance the wine industry in Canada, celebrating the success, leadership and outstanding commitment in Canada’s grape wine industry. The award of distinction is the preeminent award for the Canadian wine industry and regarded as the highest form of peer recognition and appreciation. The Heiss family moved to the Okanagan from Edmonton

Sawmills have improved their control of combustible dust, but non-compliant wood product manufactures are still being found since two fatal explosions in northern B.C. in 2012. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond has promised to implement all recommendations of a new report recommending continued inspections and penalties for mills, and a separate investigative unit for WorkSafeBC that will seek prosecutions for unsafe conditions. The report shows sawmill compliance with dust control standards has gone from 54 to 84 per cent in the latest round of inspections. Inspections of 15 pellet mills, pressboard and oriented strand board manufacturers showed they are still lagging behind. “Their 40 per cent compliance rate was a disappointment, especially in the wake of all that’s been said and done to this point,” Bond said. The industry has
hired five advisors to help mills comply with WorkSafeBC rules.

Back Pain Effectively Treated At Kelowna Clinic One third of the population suffers from chronic back pain, which impacts everything from quality of life to relationships and careers. Why is chronic pain so difficult to treat? First, each painful episode creates inflammation and scar tissue. Scar tissue has only 70% the strength of normal tissue, making it prone to re-injury. Scar tissue is not flexible, so with every movement comes more inflammation and scar tissue, leading to recurrences of back pain. Second, scar tissue alters the functioning of surrounding joints, reducing the nutrition getting to the joints (a major contributor to disc degeneration and joint arthritis).
to live with it. I want you to know that there is hope, that there is a highly successful, evidence-based treatment for many types of chronic pain. It is being used increasingly by orthopedic surgeons to stabilize their patients’ conditions and create longer lasting results and it has been used as an adjunct in my office for the past five years with success rates of up to 91%. This treatment is called Shockwave therapy (or ESWT) and while it was initially developed to break up kidney stones, it has been used for the past 20 years to effectively break up scar tissue, restore the function of the muscle and promote new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. It is effective on many conditions including (but not limited to) back, foot, and arm pain. Results are often experienced within a few visits; treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

in 1972 and in 1982, they opened a winery with a production of 175 cases. Four decades of grape growing and three decades of winemaking have passed for this couple, filled with national and international recognition for their wines. Today, Gray Monk has exceeded 80,000 cases per year of wine production. Among many accomplishments, the couple introduced high quality vinifera vines to Canada. In 1976, they imported and planted 50 vines of pinot gris
from France. These were the first plantings of pinot gris in Canada, which today is recognized as not only the signature grape of Gray Monk, but as the top planted white varietal in the Okanagan, with a growing presence across Canada. They were trail blazers in the creation of the B.C. Wine Institute and founding members in the creation of the Vintners Quality Alliance, with George serving as a board member of VQA Canada.
In my practice, I see back, neck, and shoulder pain, lower back and sciatic pain, and post-surgical pain. It’s been there for months to years and many therapies have failed to relieve it because most therapies work best on recent injuries. Many of you who have these recurring episodes may be telling yourselves that it will go away, or that you can learn

A favourite Canadian topic
s there a subject dearer to the hearts of Canadians than the weather? Ask anyone to name the capitals of the provinces and most can’t do it but ask what the weather forecast is and nine out of 10 will tell you to the finest detail. Even be glad to argue about who heard what and when that would happen. We are preoccupied with the weather. Not that we shouldn’t be, given the current heat wave, but it seems that every year at about this time we are amazed and surprised at the high temperatures and those TV announcers are even more amazed as they repeat over and over again how hot it

stay in a shelter at night but must vacate early in the morning. They have to find shade and water during the hottest time of the day or they will suffer heat stroke. Thank goodness for the Mission and the many shady parks in the city. Seniors without air conditioning, too, are in danger when the temperature climbs. Although some senior centres offer a cool place to sit and avoid the worst of the heat of the day, it must be hell at night as it doesn’t cool off much. I’m sure glad I don’t talk about the weather. I want to tell you about a Canadian web site I found recently that allows you to assess your health risks and provides calculators that predict your life expectancy, future hospital use and salt intake. The organization, Project Big Life, is supported by funders and collaborators including University of Toronto,
University of Ottawa, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, and the Heart and Stroke Foundation, so has good credentials. To calculate your risks visit their website at www.projectbiglife.ca. While raising our consciousness about our health, this site is also fun. According to my calculations I am going to live until I am 93 and there is an 83.9 per cent chance I will be dancing at my grandkids’ weddings. Now I can make positive plans. However, it also predicted my biggest risk as smoking, which I don’t do, so how reliable is that? There are many other helpful health sites such as www.healthlinkbc. ca. This is a B.C. website where you can get trusted information at your fingertips by web or by phoning 8-1-1. You will find medically-approved information on more than 5,000 health topics,
symptoms, medications and tips for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Search the online directory to find health services near you like available doctors, hospital waits, etc. You can also call 8-1-1 from anywhere in B.C. to speak with a nurse day or night. On weekdays, you can speak to a dietitian about nutrition and at night pharmacists are available to answer your medication questions. This service is a godsend for many people with medical questions. If you owe money and are late paying your income tax you are charged interest. What about the hundreds of taxpayers who returned their forms on time and are still waiting for their rebates? Should the government be paying us interest? I wish. Apparently because so many returns were sent in by post and not electronically as expected, the system is clogged and returns are not likely to be coming back until the middle or last of August. So much for efficiency. If you have comments or questions, phone 250-542-7928 or e-mail blackmail1@ telus.net

News Walk for alS
Gerry M. Laarakker, Lawyer
Divorce is granted in Canada for one reason. Marriage breakdown. Marriage breakdown is based on one of the following 3 “grounds.” There are just three grounds for marriage breakdown: Cruelty or Adultery, or Separation for one year. Any one of them is sufficient for divorce. You do not need to have more than one ground. Separation for one year: You have lived “separate and apart” for a year having decided the marriage is over. Living “separate and apart” does not necessarily mean living in separate homes. You can live separate and apart while sharing a home. It is also possible to claim that although you only recently moved out and live in a different home, the marriage broke down and was essentially over at some time in the past, regardless of living arrangements You do not need a separation agreement to prove separation.

Elise Kruysifix, of Vernon, is the proud owner of two 2014 Harley Davidson Sportsters, which she won in the Kelowna and District Safety Council raffle fundraiser. “We called Elise right away and it was a great, fun moment,” said Tania Meyer, executive director. Kruysifix purchased the winning ticket at KDSC’s volunteer
booth outside Princess Auto where she had gone shopping with a friend. “My friend told me to buy a ticket because I’ve won things before and she wanted me to
win the purple bike for her,” said Kruysifix. The raffle raised about $35,000 for KDSC, which runs many children’s programs throughout the year in Vernon, includ-
ing babysitter training, home alone, and first aid courses for kids. KDSC also operates one of B.C.’s largest motorcycle training programs and a driver training school.

Efforts to slow down motorists will continue. The City of Vernon has renewed the pace car program for 2014/15 and it will be expanded to three additional schools. Under the program, parents and residents are asked to sign up as pace car drivers. They will drive respectfully and within speed limits in the hope they will influence the actions of other motorists. “I did receive some fingers and aggressive tail-gating but after awhile, people started
to back off,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham of
her experience as a pace car driver.
“It’s another tool to help our kids be safer.”

Airport activity increases Morning Star Staff
Kelowna International Airport remains busy. With the first six months of 2014 complete, passenger numbers at the airport have reached a new record showing 780,651 flying through the terminal, compared to 729,175 in 2013. This puts the first half of the year more than seven per cent ahead of the same period in 2013. “We are really pleased with these numbers,” said Jenelle Hynes, business development and community relations specialist. “With this increase in passengers comes some strain on our service provider resources. Like many of the larger airports across Canada and the U.S., we are seeing longer wait times going through security at specific peak times.” Travellers familiar with YLW might expect a quick check-in on-line from their home computer, drop their bag off with the airline and then head through security 15 minutes before departure time; but that can sometimes lead to disappointment and missed flights, says Hynes. Domestic airlines state passengers should checkin a minimum of 45 minutes before the flight. Boarding times are usually 25 to 30 minutes before the flight time, and then add in a 10 to 20-minute line-up through security during peak travel times
“We’re really pleased with these numbers.” — Jenelle Hynes
of the day when there are multiple flights leaving at the same time. “Passengers are now experiencing travel stress and in some cases are too late to board their flight,” said Hynes. “An easy way to avoid the pre-boarding travel stress is to arrive 90 minutes before flights within Canada and two hours before flights to the U.S. and Mexico, and then head through security to the departures area as soon as possible.”

“As with most strategic plans, the process to get to the point of plan adoption and community alignment is simply the first step in a long journey,” said Mayor James Baker. “We now have a road map to guide future decisions, plans, and policies, and more importantly a community-driven strategy to begin executing the long list of tangible action items that were prioritized on an implementation timeline.” The $250,000 project was funded entirely through the federal gas tax fund. “What sets this plan apart is the extensive engagement that was conducted, with
the plan being developed in partnership with a core group of community stakeholders including arts and cultural groups, educational institutions, other government agencies, environmental organizations, the chamber of commerce, and individual volunteers,” said Mark Koch, director of community services. “What really made this plan process fun was the broad youth engagement. Youth representatives were included throughout the project and even as community ambassadors on a Street Team attending neighbourhood events to discuss sustainability with the community.”

Animal Care Society is ‘Back in the Black’ Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff
If you’ve been thinking of adding a feline friend to your family, there’s never been a better time. The Vernon & District Animal Care Society will hold its Back in the Black cat adoption event July 27 and there will be a number of cats and kittens, all looking for their forever families. “We took in around 20 or so cats from a lady who meant well and was trying to give them a good home, but got in over her head,” said Laurie Johnson, adoption coordinator with the VDACS. “She called us and asked for some help.” Most of the cats are black and white, and there will also be two 11-year-old white cats, a brother and sister who are both deaf. Johnson said the theme of the adoption event was chosen because black cats have traditionally been more difficult to place. “There is an old superstition about black cats being bad luck, that dates back to the Middle Ages,” she said. According to Wikipedia, black cats were associated with witches, and were killed en masse in the middle of the 14th century during the Black Death. Had this bias toward cats not existed, local rodent populations could have been kept down, lessening the spread of plague-infected fleas from host to host. The society’s mission is to provide spay and neuter assistance to low-income families to

The VDACS does not operate a shelter, but when space permits, will rehome stray/ abandoned cats, have them spayed/neutered, vet checked, dewormed, and vaccinated. In June, the VDACS was able to provide assistance to spay 17 female cats and four female dogs and to neuter five male cats and three male dogs. As well, 38 feral cats were trapped, neutered and returned to the wild.
“It was actually a slower month for us than usual.” The society can’t do the work it does without help from the public. It receives no government funding, but relies on donations, fundraisers and the sale of memberships — $25 per person annually or $100 for a business membership. And Paws & Claws provides a 10 per cent discount to those who show their membership card at the store.
Back in the Black takes place July 27 from noon to 4 p.m. at Paws & Claws, 5601 Anderson Way. The cats will be on site so those looking to adopt one of the animals can come and meet them and fill out an application for a new family member. “We need quieter homes for these cats,” said Johnson. “Once the paper work is completed and approved, then we will deliver the cat to do a quick home check.” For Johnson, cats are her passion, ever since she was a child growing up in Vernon. “We always had cats — we had a dog, too, but that was a family dog, whereas the cat was mine.” But Johnson, who would adopt every homeless cat if she could, calls herself a “foster failure.” “I will foster kittens but not adult cats right now as I just get too attached to them and they are always the hardest to adopt out, but an older cat is a great addition to a home. “They are more likely to climb into your lap than climb your curtains — and they make good napping buddies.” During the adoption event, the society will have a one-time special adoption fee of $75. The fee includes spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a veterinary check-up. Fee for kittens is $100 and will include a certificate for a spay or neuter and a tattoo.

Life Promoting healthy hearts
The KindesT CuT
Kerri Wall
Special to The Morning Star
Maintaining and improving our health and the health of our loved ones is important. Thankfully, the Heart and Stroke Foundation tells us there is much about our personal health that is within our control. If we do not smoke, control our use of alcohol, manage our weight, engage in regular physical activity, and learn to manage stress, the likelihood of having heart problems decreases dramatically. Our personal routines and habits play an important role in keeping us healthy but most of us also need support and encouragement from those around us. I never learned to meditate until I had a friend invite me to take a course with her. And that same friend never used to swim but now comes to the pool with me every week! But it’s not just about social support. Policies that promote healthier foods and environments help create healthier people. Our environments play a big role in our ability to

adopt healthy habits and stick with them. Many local governments are passing smokefree bylaws. Research is showing that smokers are among the people that support these bylaws the most. By creating more smoke free environments we reduce the risks of second hand smoke and reduce the likelihood the next generation will see smoking as socially acceptable. Policies that target the food industry can also improve health. A recent study concluded people who get 25 per cent or more of their daily calories from added sugar are three times more likely to die of heart disease. Reducing added sugar in foods can help reduce the risk of heart disease; that’s why the Canadian Medical Association, the Childhood Obesity Foundation, and the Canadian Institute for Health Research are all calling for regulations on the amount of sugar the food industry can add to items like pop, juice and cereal. Healthy policies like these make it easier for
us all to make healthier choices. Kerri Wall is a community health facilitator with Interior Health.

Helping families adjust to changing dynamics Morning Star Staff
Dementia demands that family structures change, and there is no manual to tell Vernon families how to negotiate those changes — especially when it comes to living arrangements. “Families caring for a person with a form of dementia may be able to provide care at home, or they may have to consider residential care,” says Carly Gronlund, the support and education coordinator for the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. for Vernon and the North & Central Okanagan. Already an estimated one in 11 Canadians over 65 has Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia, and a 50 per cent jump in those numbers is forecast over the next five years. This means many Vernon families already face the challenges of dementia and many more will soon, without a manual. Gronlund helps many local families,
leading free workshops that help them gain an understanding of the challenges ahead and about the types of help available. Family members often want to provide care in the home, but given the demands the illness places on caregivers, they may also have to consider residential care for the person with dementia. “Residential care can be an effective option,” Gronlund says, as long as families deal with the challenges of transition for both themselves and the person with dementia. “It’s a process of adjustment.” Caregivers can see their role change during the transition, and will need to learn to work effectively with a care team. To help local families with these issues, the society is offering a free workshop Aug. 15 in Vernon. Transition to Residential Care, running from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., covers some
important considerations when a family is moving a family member to a residential care facility. General information will be provided on how to access residential care in the community, and how to deal with the challenges families face when making those decisions. The workshop takes place at The People Place, 3402-27th Ave. Pre-registration is required. For more information and to register, contact Gronlund
at (toll-free) 1-800-6343399 or cgronlund@ alzheimerbc.org. Admission to the workshop is free thanks to partial funding by the province of B.C., Provincial Employees Community Services Fund, RBC Foundation, Seacliff Foundation, Pfizer Canada Inc., Merck Canada Inc., Mott Electric GP, Lohn Foundation, Al Roadburg Foundation, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc., Frank and Yvonne McCracken Foundation,

Play looks at war told from both fronts War on the Home Front follows those who served at Vernon Army Camp and overseas during Second World War Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
It was a bumpy ride, with a dangerous load in the back of the truck, but Nellie Bullock was up to the task. Sitting behind the wheel, Bullock was one of the many women during the Second World War who served on the home front. She hauled ammunition from the bunker in Kamloops to the Vernon Army Camp. “Because women were then not allowed to fight, they were used in the military as clerks, secretaries, mechanics and truck drivers, while the men were overseas,” said local playwright Michael Poirier, who has written a play based on the roles of men and women during wartime that is about to be staged in Vernon’s Powerhouse Theatre. Although a fictional account, War on the Home Front is set in the still standing Camp Vernon, which was used as a training facility in the First and Second World Wars. At the height of training in the Second World War, there were in excess of 7,000 troops based at the camp, said Poirier, whose main character in the play, Bullock, is also based on a real person. “In real life, Nellie Bullock was my mother,” said the playwright. “She used to drive to the ammunition storage in Kamloops and also drove for a commander in Chilliwack.” In the play, Bullock (played by Bev Steeves) is hired by the base commander to work out of the army camp. “Nellie is a pain in the commander’s rear,” said Poirier, who pulled from stories of his actual mom to flesh out her character. “My mom was a rounder and quite the character. In 1944, Vernon had seven dance halls downtown and mom would be at the dance hall getting into trouble.” War on the Home Front examines life between these women and men serving at home and also intermittently travels overseas to Italy where three soldiers are fighting on the front line. “Realities and truths are two of life’s facts that are sometimes hard to accept,” said Poirier. “My intent was to show what people here were going through during the war, but also the soldiers overseas in the heat of battle.” Set primarily in the commander’s office, which is overseen by Col. Hanson (Bob Chamberlain) and his aide, Capt. Stewart (Kelly Winston), the play also follows Pte. Mary Carlton (Caitlin Krahn), who serves as the colonel’s secretary and is a member of the CWAC (Canadian Women’s Army Corp.) “The staff have mixed feelings towards their duties during this trying time,” said Poirier. “They are all trying to find their place.” Meanwhile, three young soldiers, Pte. Swift (Gavin Opp), Pte. Carlton (Spencer Freeman-Marsh), and Cpl. Granger (Sheldon Graham) are in the middle of a battlefield in Italy

witnessing the horrors of war. “My step-dad was in the Second World War and some of the things he told me, stories and memories, are in the play,” said Poirier. “One story he told me was when they jumped off the boat, a soldier lost his leg on the beach from being hit by mortar. They amputated his leg in a bar.”
115th
Poirier was also advised on army protocol from a retired sergeant major who served in Afghanistan. “The whole arena is different now. Now it’s become more of a family. You make friends. Back then you were thrown into a boat all together and landed on a beach. You loaded your guns and started shooting. You didn’t make friends. It was ‘I’ll fight with you, but if you die, you’re another soldier.’” As one can imagine, bringing all these experiences from the page to the stage was a challenge. After being named a finalist in the 2012 Theatre BC Playwriting competition, Poirier received varying critiques from the competition’s two jurors. “One loved the interaction between the war and the army camp, and the other one said to throw out the war scenes and set it just at the army camp,” he said. It was after receiving what he calls a “brutal critique” from Michael Armstrong, who is in the drama department at the University of Victoria, that Poirier took his script home and cleaned it up using both viewpoints. “My director (Matt Brown) and assistant director (Kristine Larson) said they liked some of the parts I took out,” said Poirier. “The process of working it out on the stage is helping to make the play better. I also rely on the actors to paint the picture. It has also been good to have the military people helping me.” War on the Home Front opens at the Powerhouse Theatre on Tuesday, July 29 and runs nightly at 7:30 p.m. until Saturday Aug. 2. Tickets ($22/adult, $17.50 senior/cadet/ student) are available at the Ticket Seller at 250-549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca. Warning: the play contains gunshots and loud noises.

Chef to get jammin’ at orchard Morning Star Staff
Foodies can spice up their lives with jerk chicken and a side of roti when Canadian-Jamaican chef Cornel Fisher presents an outdoor roaming four-course meal on an orchard by the lake. Reggae Nights, to be held at Oyama’s Gatzke Orchard July 27, will feature Caribbean flavours, storytelling and songs spiced up with local farm ingredients with wine tastings by Lake Country’s Arrowleaf Cellars. “Cornel has been connected to the Gatzke Orchard for over a decade,” said owner Al Gatzke. “It’s a great moment to have him take part in our GO Foodism! series after hearing me talk about it all these years. Cornel brings a great energy to all our events. Reggae Nights will be very special for sure.” Fisher can usually be found at the orchard every Friday night and at weddings and music events, such as the recent Woodstock Revival, cooking his hand-made pizzas in a clay wood burning oven. “I’ve watched him create beautiful gourmet pizzas then jump on
Art bazaar opens in Lake Country
A treasure trove of handcrafted and vintage delights await perusers each month until October at the Lake Country Art Bazaar. Hosted by the Lake Country Art Gallery at the Art House, located next door to the gallery, the bazaar will feature a selection of creative wares such as glass, fine art, vintage clothing, sparkling adornments and crafts. Already signed up to show their wares are Perch Travelling Boutique, Nobert Spyth (glass) and artists Kara Barkved, Jolene Mackie, Sea Dean, Shannon Breadner and Denise Wandt, as well as appearances by the New Vintage Theatre company. The bazaar continues from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 9, Sept. 6 and Oct. 11. The Lake Country Art Gallery is located at 10356A Bottom Wood Lake Rd.
stage for a set and return to a lineup 20 deep of new pizza/music fans,” said Joseph Pinheiro, the orchard’s event manager. “Even at our weddings he adds an extra element of entertainment and authenticity to the Okanagan experience on our orchard.” Fisher has also been a prominent talent at the Woodstock Revival music festival for the past three years. “Woodstock this year was incredible, not only for all the happy, hungry people, but for the music as I was able to perform with my seven-year-old son Benjamin Moon – an unforgettable experience,” said Fisher. “I can’t wait until July 27 so I can cook and sing for you. I’m looking forward to sharing the stories and flavours of some of my
favourite Jamaican recipes. It’s going to be a jammin’ good time.” Fisher is the third chef featured in the Gatzke Orchard outdoor, roaming dinner series, taking place on the last Sunday of the month until September from 4 to 7 p.m. The series showcases different local chefs highlighting their expertise alongside farmers. “This will be an opportunity for guests to increase their awareness of the benefits in growing and eating local foods. Before dinner, guests can explore the property where many of the ingredients used are grown under the fresh, local, organic, seasonal mentality,” said Gatzke. Tickets for the food series are available at gatzkeorchard.com.

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist CHRIS SHIDELER
Allergy sufferers know that the amount of pollen in the air is higher in the mornings between 5 AM and 10 AM. If you are sensitive to certain pollens, delay your walking until later in the day, If you need advice on some medicinal help with your allergies, talk to our pharmacists. Heat stroke is a very serious medical emergency that occurs when the body cannot regulate its internal temperature. Body temperature rises rapidly, the sweating mechanism doesn’t work so the body can’t cool down. Body temperatures can rise above 104˚F (40˚C). Other warning signs are rapid pulse, throbbing headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion. Keep the person cool and seek medical help. We’re in the middle of the barbeque season and red meat is a very strong attraction to many people. There is a worry that cooking meat on a high flame produces chemicals thought to promote cancer. Marinating the meat in a non-oil vinegar or lemon juice mixtures reduces these chemicals. Also keep the servings down to about 4 ounces in size per serving. Mouthwashes contain about 99% water but also contain ingredients that may have antibacterial activity, help prevent and reduce gum disease and reduce cavities. Others contain an antibacterial enzyme to help dry mouth. Our pharmacists will be glad to help you choose the right product for your needs. Knowledgeable, approachable, dependable …our pharmacists are all this and more. We’d be happy to fill your next prescription.

The artist is visiting from Beijing, China, where his studio is based, to give a talk about his work at the exhibition opening Aug. 1. reflecting the lunar cycle. One of them, entitled Day Here Night There, has been made into a tapestry, which took five months to complete, from Oakes’ original gouache painting to its arrival at Headbones from China where it was woven. “It is a testament to the positive attributes of working with the Chinese, both in the quality of the craftsmanship and the expediency of the process,” she said. Day Here Night There, along with the other paintings that make up the Lunar cycle work completed while on the residency, will be shown in Oakes’ studio at the Aug. 1 opening reception at Headbones, which
starts at 7:30 p.m. Chak Man Lei will speak on his work at the event, and from 8 to 9 p.m., Oakes and Fogarty will give a visual presentation showing sights and art works seen during their stay in China.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder THEY THREATEN, SO YOU COUNTER Most bridge deals are a battle. One side is trying to execute a plan, while the other side is trying either to do the same or to thwart the opposition’s scheme. In this deal, South was in three no-trump. What was the East-West strategy and how did South counter it? As a secondary issue, what do you think of the auction? This deal occurred after the organized part of one of my “bridge camps without tents” (details on my web site). Four of my students were just shuffling, dealing and playing. In the auction, I think North ought to have used Stayman to try to find a 4-4 spade fit. Here, that would have
resulted in a contract of four spades. With the trumps 3-2 and the heart ace onside, this would have made easily, South losing one spade, one heart and one diamond. In three no-trump, declarer started with only six top tricks: two spades, one heart (given the lead) and three clubs. He planned to play on diamonds to establish the extra tricks he needed, but that was going to give the lead back to the defenders. East and West were hoping to establish and run the heart suit. To that end, West led the heart queen and East signaled encouragingly with her six. South correctly did not win the first trick. He had to cut the communications between the defenders.
West continued with another heart. East won with her ace and returned the suit, but South won and played a diamond, hoping that either East would take the trick or that the hearts were splitting 4-4. As you can see, declarer was home with an overtrick.

A fair dinkum adventure margaret deefholts Special To The Morning Star
AUSTRALIA - “Wow! Look at this! It’s perfect!” My sister jabs at an advertisement in Australia’s The Senior newspaper. The advert by Magic Murray Holidays sounds ideal: a 7-day trip by luxury coach around the Murray River basin in New South Wales and Victoria. Four star accommodation, most meals, and an expert tour guide — all for just $500. It’s a deal! Along with a group of Australians, most of them over 65, we are picked up from Albury station to set off on a two-hour drive through western New South Wales. This is how I’ve always imagined the Australian countryside — sheep and cattle stations encompassing thousands of acres and stretching to the horizon. Ensconced in the air-conditioned comfort of our coach, we drive through small settlements, most of them seemingly deserted– shops closed, houses with window shades drawn, and not a soul on the streets. Probably because the mercury is at 42 C this afternoon. Worse still, the scorching wind has whipped up forest fires through the neighbouring state of Victoria — a scant seventy miles away from us. Smoke haze has turned the sky gun-metal grey. Our hosts at the four-star Riverland Motel in the pretty little town of Barham are a young Australian couple. Guests melt into smiles within minutes of meeting Kristy-Lee, a buxom blonde with an infectious laugh and an irreverent Aussie sense of humour. She pampers her guests,

The “talking tram” is all set to take visitors through Bendigo town manages the motel and oversees our meals. Her husband Clint who sports a little goatee beard and a insouciant air, is less outgoing than his wife, but is an engaging and informative tour guide. Our welcome includes a light supper of delectable sandwiches, passion-fruit cheese cake and a complimentary glass of wine – a foretaste of the scrumptious meals that we are served over the course of the week – robust steaks, succulent roast chicken, salads and veggies, as well as delicately prepared fish—and a variety of desserts, including traditional Australian Pavlova. Our first day is spent exploring nearby towns and the surrounding countryside. The twin towns of Barham and Koondrook are separated by the Murray River which forms the boundary between New South Wales and Victoria. We cross the 109-year-old span lift bridge linking the two
towns, and stroll along a shady walkway fringing the banks of the river, stopping to admire a series of red gum wood sculptures chain-saw carved by world renowned carver, Kevin Guilders. The week goes by quickly, but the images linger on: waking up to the sound of a hysterical kookaburra in the grove behind our motel; driving through avenues of eucalyptus trees, some with white barks, ghostly and stark, others lush and graceful, their high branches stroking the sky. Citrus orchards line part of our route, their fruit like pretty Christmas tree decorations – bright orange balls against shiny olive green leaves. We pause for mid-morning teas in parks with picnic tables set out under dignified oaks, and stroll along pathways where willow trees tremble over river banks. Our itinerary includes little known attractions. The guys
in our group are enthralled by a display of vintage cars in the Holden car museum in Echuca and Second World War buffs are captivated by the full sized Lake Catalina Flying Boat and memorabilia, on display at the Boga Lake Base museum. A riverboat in Echuca’s historic old port takes us up the Murray river as it twists its way between high banks and thickets of gum trees. Sunlight pools across our deck, and speckles the waters. Bendigo, once a gold mining town, now offers other treasures, such as its famous hand sculpted pottery. We watch a potter at work as he throws a vase that magically takes shape under his fingers, changing from a lump of clay to a graceful tall ornament. To my delight, we board a “talking tram” that recounts the Bendigo’s history as it clangs and clatters through the town, passing old houses with filigree ironwork railings and trimming on eaves that look as delicate as crocheted lace. Our last day is spent close to home. We are captivated by friendly piglets on a nearby farm, and sample sweet, freshly squeezed grapefruit juice at a citrus processing factory in Barham. A bonus on this trip are our Australian companions, some of whom are well into their eighties. They are a fun-loving lot — lively, curious, and up and ready for each day’s outing. At the closing of our farewell banquet, they chant: “Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!” and we two Canadians join in the response of, “Oi! Oi! Oi!” Margaret Deefholts is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

The family of Peter Robert Brooks is deeply saddened by his death on Monday July 14 of 2014, at Kelowna General Hospital due to complicaƟons from a heart condiƟon. Peter was born on March 13, 1950 to Lillian and Andy Brooks (both parents now deceased). He is survived by sisters Margaret (Bill) ForscuƩ of Vernon, BC, Cathy (Pete) Aspinall of Port Alberni, BC, and her children Tyler (Bebhinn) Ruks of Vancouver, BC, and Alison Ruks (Tom) and baby Evana of Lake Country, BC. Although health issues prevented Pete from enjoying Įshing and camping during the past 12 years, he sincerely enjoyed the outdoors and oŌen reminisced about casƟng a Įshing line into a Ƌuiet stream. He loved nature, bird watching and gardening - even though he didn’t like to eat most of what he grew! In his youth, Pete was well-known for his natural athleƟc abiliƟes - in parƟcular as a pitcher with the Lumby Loggers and the Enderby Legionaires. He was proud to be a member of Enderby’s baseball team – which was inducted into the Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame in 2013. He was an avid bowler enjoying both league and tournament play - and the associated friendships he made during his sporƟng endeavours. Peter never raised his voice in anger or frustraƟon. He was dearly loved as a kind and thoughƞul brother and uncle. The family would like to commend the medical staī at Kelowna General Hospital for their outstanding compassion, care and excepƟonal eīorts on Peter’s behalf. We will be eternally grateful to Pete’s neighbours - Irene and Bill Maddox and Pat and Bill Maloney - for their concern and support; going above and beyond to ensure Pete’s care. Thank you. In following Pete’s wishes, he will be laid to rest beside his parents in Coldstream Cemetery. A gathering for friends and family will be held on Friday July 25, 2014, at Pleasant Valley Funeral Home located at 4303 P. V. Road, Vernon, BC, at 3 pm.

April 17, 1937 – July 2, 2014
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our Dad, Wayne NesbiƩ, with his loving wife, Joan, by his side. Dad fought a short courageous baƩle with lung cancer; he maintained his sense of humour with his strength and determinaƟon unparalleled through his Įnal journey, conƟnuing to plan one last adventure with Mom. Dad was an Educator. He obtained his Bachelor of Science and later his Masters of EducaƟon from UBC, Vancouver. He coached many sports teams, taught many subjects and was Principal of many schools throughout BC over a span of 30 years. He took great pride in knowing every student in his school. AŌer reƟring, he and Mom made their summer home in Vernon, BC and their winter home in Pharr, Texas, USA. Dad loved to travel and during the winter months Mom and Dad had many adventures motor homing throughout Canada and the USA. They even traveled to faraway lands including China, Europe and Australia. During the summer months Dad returned to his love of agriculture and became a caƩle rancher and as late as last summer he was a long haul truck driver. Dad was a loving and dedicated man. His outgoing and friendly personality with his sense of humour made him many friends from all over the world. He was a Free Mason, a Rotarian and member of the Lions Club. Dad was always helping people. While in Pharr, he especially loved driving the Shriner’s van to transport ill children to the hospital in Houston, Texas. As a husband and father he was loving and caring – always there to help, to listen, to encourage and to be our friend. Dad is deeply missed by his wife of 55 years, Joan NesbiƩ and their Įve children, Pat (Debbie), John, Kathryn (John), Brenda (Robert) and Michael (Jennifer); 13 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He is predeceased by his mother Peggy and father Victor NesbiƩ.

Jackpots must go to some banned gamblers jeff nagel Black Press
A B.C. Supreme ww.caravanfarmtheatre.com Court judge has ruled some problem gamblers
who had themselves banned from B.C. casinos but managed to keep playing are owed jackpots that were with-
held by the B.C. Lottery Corp. The ruling in the class action lawsuit applies only to jackpots
over $10,000 that were won but not paid out between April 2009 and June 2010, because jackpot entitlement rules
were not validly enacted during that period. Justice John Savage ruled the BCLC had “no authority to with-

hold jackpot prizes” at that time. The rules were clarified in 2010 when the province amended its Gaming Control Act, and self-excluded gamblers who were refused big payouts after that are out of luck. The case was led by two problem gamblers on behalf of numerous others who enrolled in the voluntary selfexclusion program yet still lost large amounts at casinos. Hamidreza Haghdust was denied jackpots totaling $35,000 at casinos in Coquitlam and Vancouver and Michael Lee was refused a payout of more than $42,000 at a gaming centre in Duncan. The plaintiffs argued the large prizes should not have been confiscated because BCLC failed to keep them out of the casinos under the selfexclusion program and was therefore in breach of contract. The judge did find BCLC was in breach of contract, noting that although Haghdust and Lee knew they were breaking the rules by re-entering casinos to gamble while banned, the lottery corporation was not blameless. “BCLC is a large quasi-corporate entity
with a total monopoly over the provision of the very thing with which the plaintiff class struggle,” the judgment says. “Gamblers are ferried to its facilities and receive loyalty rewards. BCLC is undoubtedly in a more powerful position.” BCLC said in a statement it will work with lawyers for the plaintiffs to return jackpots to those who are eligible. “Overall, the decision validates BCLC’s ability to withhold jackpots as a deterrent for those who are voluntary self-excluded and that the program is being operated effectively,” said BCLC. It’s not known how many gamblers may now be paid their fiveyear-old winnings. Lawyers behind the case initially said they were trying to recoup 427 jackpots worth up to $1.5 million, but only some of those prizes were withheld during the initial 14 months after the BCLC introduced its 2009 denial of winnings policy. While Haghdust was denied big jackpots when he managed to reenter casinos, he also incurred $200,000 in losses since entering the self-exclusion program in 2006.
