Federal rules put pinch on Silver Star RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Ottawa’s crackdown on temporary foreign workers could create an avalanche of trouble for a North Okanagan ski resort. The federal government is tightening up the rules regarding bringing in workers from outside of Canada and the processing fee is jumping from $275 to $1,000 per application. “It’s an issue for us but it’s also an issue right across the ski industry,” said Ken Derpak, Silver Star Mountain Resort managing director. Last winter, Silver Star hired 15 temporary foreign workers, primarily as ski and snowboard instructors. Many of them, including from Australia and New Zealand, are required to have level three and four certification. “The inventory for them locally isn’t the same,” said Derpak, adding that a shortage of trained Canadian instructors means foreign talent is needed to meet consumer demand.

Silver Star Mountain Resort officials say a lack of foreign workers could impact the business. “Because of the cyclical nature of the business, we’ve always used the temporary foreign worker program to compliment

Canadian workers.” Based on last season’s employment figures, the new $1,000 processing fee could have a financial impact on Silver Star Mountain Resort. “It’s a hit for us,” said Derpak. “We’d love to have 20 of them (foreign workers) this year but at $20,000, it’s not viable.” Derpak questions why the federal government is making the rules more onerous when there is a case to be made for foreign workers to support the ski industry and the Canadian economy. “It allows us to grow our business,” he said of the temporary foreign worker program. The program came under fire recently because some restaurants across the country may have broken federal rules. “There’s been a reaction from the government to deal with alleged abuses in other industries and have done a blanket approach,” said Derpak. “They are penalizing those who have
been using the program responsibly.” Colin Mayes, Okanagan-Shuswap MP, is aware of the concerns coming from the ski industry about the changes to the temporary foreign worker program. “It’s too bad just a few who bring in temporary foreign workers abuse the program and don’t put Canadians first,” he said. “But that has motivated the government to clamp down. We’re trying to make sure they make every attempt to hire Canadians for these positions.” When asked about the apparent shortage of Canadian ski instructors, Mayes said, “There must be a balance between the free job market and meeting a lack of skilled people.” Mayes has been discussing the ski industry’s concerns with other MPs who represent areas with ski resorts. “We are working with the (labour) minister to ensure that program is fair to those folks,” he said. “I can’t say what the outcome will be.”

The City of Vernon will be the lead agency during a referendum on a proposed second ice sheet. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee decided Thursday to contract the city to pursue all public information requirements for the November referendum to borrow up to $13 million for an expansion to Kal Tire Place. “I have faith in them doing it,” said Jim Garlick, Coldstream LISA VANDERVELDE/ director, of the city.

The Okanagan Indian Band’s elected officials are responding to concerns about remuneration. Federal legislation recently required all First Nations in the country to post online the wages and expenses of chiefs and band councils. “You can’t make simple comparisons based off of population,” said Chief Byron Louis, with the Okanagan Indian Band. “Canada has a population of about 35 million and Prime Minister Harper makes more than $300,000 a year, while the U.S. has

Ex-CFL player pleads guilty MIKE MCINTYRE Winnipeg Free Press
An ex-Winnipeg Blue Bomber has admitted to a slew of fraud and forgery charges relating to an bogus scheme to build a hotel and recreational facility. David Lorne Pitcher, 46, pleaded guilty recently in Winnipeg to 17 total offences in which victims lost more than $5 million between 2007 and 2012. Pitcher, who grew up in Armstrong, will return to court next January for sentencing once a court-ordered report about his background David Pitcher is completed. The Crown is expected to seek a significant custodial sentence given the large-scale nature of the crime. Pitcher was arrested late last year by RCMP in Vernon and returned to Winnipeg on the strength of a Canada-wide warrant. Pitcher is also being sued by the victims in Court of Queen’s Bench. He had filed a statement of defence in connection to that proceeding and denied wrongdoing. He now admits to using forged government documents to scam millions of dollars in bridge financing from them through a company he owned called Community Endowment Funds. Some of the forged documents were purporting to be written by Manitoba NDP minister Gord Mackintosh and John McBride, the head of federal Crown corporation PPP Canada. The money was borrowed for the construction of a large recreational development known as the Flatland Cable Park, to be located on a 27.5-hectare swath of Fort Whyte. Pitcher convinced investors he had federal funding but also needed additional money to float the project. He then used the money for his own personal interests. Pitcher is a former CFL slotback who played in the 1990s for the Blue Bombers, Saskatchewan, Montreal and Edmonton. -with files from James Turner

Mine disaster upsets band Morning Star Staff
An environmental emergency has the Okanagan Indian Band demanding action. The Mount Polley mine tailings pond in the Cariboo breached Monday, sending 10-billion litres of water and 4.5 million cubic metres of sand containing metals into the environment. “Mercury, lead and arsenic are just three of the substances found within the pond,” said Byron Louis, Okanagan Indian Band chief. “The environmental impact on the river systems and surrounding land will not be truly felt for some time.” The Okanagan Indian Band — Louis is calling on the federal and provincial governments to create, apply and enforce laws that will protect waterways which affect the lives of not only aboriginal peoples but the community as a whole. The OKIB also wants the governments to ensure resources are available to assess and mitigate the damage caused by the Mount Polley Mine incident. “This is not just about aboriginal interests,” said Louis. “It is in the best interests of all British Columbians and Canadians to live in a society where we can go fishing or hunting and not have to worry about arsenic and mercury in our food or drinking water. A tailings pond that eventually flows into the Fraser River, a system that supports the largest fishery in the Pacific Northwest, is not prudent resource management. “It is a direct threat to an aquatic ecosystem and to all those that depend on its bounty for their health, wealth and well-being. It is a direct threat to future generations.”
“It is a direct threat.”

I have seen them operate in valleys similar to Lavington.” Reitsma believes the facility would create a number of benefits. “We can provide a

Divisions are developing among Coldstream politicians over a proposed pellet plant. During a committee of the whole meeting Tuesday, it was recommended council not support Pinnacle Renewable Energy’s application to the Ministry of Environment to discharge pollutants into the air unless provincial standards are met by the company. However, opposition came from Councillors Maria Besso and Gyula Kiss. “It’s already clear it doesn’t meet provincial standards,” said Kiss. Coun. Doug Dirk, though, defended the recommendation, which will go before council Monday for consideration. “The Ministry of Environment will determine what it will permit and that’s what we’re speaking to,” he said. “If Pinnacle can’t meet the standards, they will make a decision (to pro-

lot of stability for the community — jobs, the mill and the rail line,” he said. However, most of the capacity crowd at the committee meeting expressed reservations about Pinnacle’s plans. “Whatever is in the air gets into people’s lungs,” said resident Stephanie Hoffman, who has called into question the company’s emissions report. “The community deserves accurate information to base decisions on.” That concern also came from Dr. Yann Brierley, a pathologist who lives in Lavington. “Having a plant next to a school is fool hardy, if not irresponsible,” he said of possible respiratory issues. “Parents won’t have their kids attend that school. If that (reduced enrolment) happens, it’s the death of the community.” Resident Barry Rafuse pointed out that winter inversions could trap particulates.

“I’m not against progress and I’m not a militant guy, but I want to see common sense and good planning,” he said. Some residents indicated that Lavington’s air quality is already a concern. “Dust is already bad and I can’t imagine adding to it,” said Jerome Hildebrand. “Fifteen to 20 jobs cannot come at the risk of our community,” added Kym Lorentz. Coldstream council will hold a public hearing Monday at 6 p.m. to consider rezoning of the property to allow for the pellet plant.

The Miracle Mile
ixty years ago Thursday, Vancouver was the focus of the world. Creating the buzz? Two runners, one from England, one from Australia. On Aug. 7, 1954, at old Empire Stadium, Roger Bannister – the Englishman – took on John Landy – the Aussie – and a field of others in the mile race at the British Empire (now Commonwealth) Games. The two men had made names for themselves by becoming the first to break the distance’s four-minute barrier, long thought impossible to accomplish. The first recorded time for a race a mile in length was recorded in London in July, 1855, a clocking of four minutes, 28 seconds by Roger Knox Englishman Charles Westhall. Between then and July 1945, there were 45 different world record marks for the mile, with Sweden’s Gunder Hagg coming the closest to breaking the elusive four-minute barrier in 1945 in a time of 4:01.4. Bannister went under four minutes first in May of 1954 at Oxford in a time of 3:59.4. Landy shattered the mark 46 days later, in Turku, Finland, in a time of 3:58. Their meeting in Vancouver – another 46 days later – would be the first time Bannister and Landy raced each other. A crowd of 35,000 crammed into Empire Stadium. Millions listened to the race around the world on radio. Millions more watched on TV. Renowned magazines Life, Time and Sports Illustrated were on hand to capture this historic mile. Landy was the favourite and he jumped out to an early lead, but Bannister kept within striking distance. On the last lap, well, you probably know what happens because Vancouver Sun photographer Charlie Warner clicked arguably one of the most famous sports photographs
AT RANDOM
of the 20th Century that afternoon. Warner had the foresight to leave the throng of photographers gathered at the finish line and moved up the track to near the final corner. He caught the exact moment Landy looked over his left shoulder to see where Bannister was, which happened to be passing him on his right shoulder. Bannister won the gold medal in a time of 3:58.4 – slower than Landy’s world record mark. Landy crossed the line in second but in a time of 3:59.6. It was the first time two runners had broken the four-minute mile in the same race. Landy’s world record of 3:58 stood for slightly more than three years, bested in July 1957 by Englishman Derek Ibbotson in Dublin in a time of 3:57.2. Since then, 11 runners have set 16 new world marks for the mile distance, the last and current record holder being Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco in 1999, who ran the mile in 3:43.1. If running were my life – and I just about kept a straight face typing that – the mile would be the equivalent of running four laps at the Polson Park oval. To put what Bannister, Landy, El Guerrouj and every other record holder did into a bit of perspective, it took me three minutes and 43 seconds to walk a normal pace from the front of The Morning Star to McDonald’s (and, no, I did not pick up anything while I was there). The runners could probably make it from the paper to Marshall Field in under four minutes. Maybe it’s just me but I think the allure of the mile race is gone. If anybody does break El Guerrouj’s mark, I question if I’m the only one who wonders when they’re going to pee in the bottle to see if the mark is legit. But 60 years ago, it was different. It was the Miracle Mile. And for nearly four minutes, the world stood still while two men ran into the history books.
Ottawa’s over-reaction to abuse of the temporary foreign worker program could have a significant impact on the North Okanagan economy. As a result of a crackdown, Silver Star Mountain Resort is finding it increasingly difficult to hire overseas workers for this coming ski season. And even if they can be hired, the processing fee has climbed from $275 to a whopping $1,000 per application. “It’s a hit for us,” said Ken Derpak, Silver Star’s managing director. That new fee could have amounted to $15,000 last winter. “We’d love to have 20 of them (foreign workers) this year but at $20,000, it’s not viable,” said Derpak. Some Conservative government officials have hinted that more Canadians should be hired and the need for foreign workers is limited. Ideally, it would be great if all employees at a ski resort were Canadian but there is an extreme shortage of domestic ski and snowboard instructors, and particularly those with level three and four certification. As demand grows among Canadian skiers, resorts must access the necessary staff, even if it means looking to Australia and New Zealand. Without them, resorts are unable to provide all of the services customers requires and that can negatively impact not only the businesses, but the country’s economy. If there is a concern over the temporary foreign worker program being abused in sectors such as restaurants, then Ottawa should take action. But a one-size-fits-all approach for a diverse array of industries is short-sighted. Perhaps the Conservative government needs to be reminded of an old saying — “Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water.”

local hero We are new to town with twin fiveyear-olds and there is someone I wish to acknowledge who has made our transition here more enjoyable. He is Colton Sparrow of the Vernon Vipers. Our family supports the team every chance we can, and our kids took a special interest in No. 22, making posters for games and high-fiving Colton and the other players as they came on the ice for many home games. After the Vipers' season ended, our daughter wrote Colton a letter to say how she loved watching him play, that she enjoyed when he flipped her a puck during warm up and that her favourite part was how he made a point to high-five her and her brother whenever possible. We warned our kids that Colton might not write back, but were blown away when he showed up at our door to deliver a T-shirt, signed hockey cards, and a stick for our kids. He not only made our children’s night, and the subsequent weeks with them constantly retelling the story and playing with the hockey cards and stick, but he reinforced our impression that he is a fine young man who is kind and unselfish, and a good example for our kids to admire. He is yet another person who makes our

Schools need extra resources
hree months ago, I started tutoring a Grade 1 student in math and reading. He struggled with letter-sound correlation and putting sounds together. I took him back to the basics of reading and broke it down in a way that made sense to him. In three short months, he is now reading at the mid-Grade 1 level. He loves to read and is willing to take risks. His parents are proud of his success and the confidence he exudes. It warms my heart to continue to work with him and yet it's also sad because he shouldn't need a tutor. His classroom teacher would be able to do the same thing if he or she had a smaller class and more support from a specialist teacher. However, the government continues to believe there is nothing wrong with the current education system. In fact, they believe our system is so robust they can cut even more time from specialist teachers and put more students in the already burgeoning classrooms.

They seem to think teachers are these amazing, miracle workers and we could teach a pig to fly if we wanted. Well, I'm sorry to let the cat out of the bag, but we aren't miracle workers. And we certainly aren't treated as miracle workers. We are human beings and we have our limitations. We would love to challenge, support and encourage all of our students and see community wonderful. Thank you so much Colton Sparrow for making Vernon a better place and for having such a positive impact on our children and on our family. We’ve really appreciated it. emma, Declan, Tina and Spence Ward bikeS vS. peDeSTrianS The recent letter from A.G. Price is an issue about which more of us should be concerned. The writer correctly stated that it is not legal to ride bicycles on sidewalks. However, there are a few more infractions that need to be included in this problem. Many of these cyclists are speeding, and do not use horns or some method to indicate they are barreling down on pedestrians. As well, about 80 per cent of those who nearly mow us down are not wearing helmets. e. page rail line Will any of the railway options happen? Are the proposed options viable? Probably not due to the financial and political issues. Therefore, the most beneficial option at present is nothing. The future of this rail line is transpor-
them reach their potential. However, most of our students are lucky if they receive five minutes of undivided attention per day. And with a government that wants to cut even more, that personal time goes down. Is that what you want or envision for your kids, grandkids or for B.C.'s future? What would have happened to my student if his family couldn't afford tutoring? There are thousands of kids just like him tation. At the present, a glance at traffic between Vernon and Kelowna in peak hours is bumper to bumper. As it increases in the future, the rail line will be a viable option. A rough professional estimate has indicated an approximate cost of about $1 million per kilometre to rebuild the line to accommodate a high-speed commuter train. Compare this to the cost of $78 million which was spent to rebuild the stretch of highway between Vernon and Winfield. Thoughts of this nature to political representatives at various levels have not resulted in any enthusiasm. In future years, this option might be gladly welcomed and very feasible. In the past, any thoughts of future planning have been non-existent. Let's keep this option open. G.G. nose aDopTinG a peT In our world of increasing population, we would do well to remember those without a home. This includes our animal friends. Although there are some who have their hearts set on a certain breed, visiting websites looking for that perfect puppy or kitten, let us not forget the many dogs and cats waiting at the SPCA for their perfect home.
who only need some extra support in order to move forward. However, the government thinks our kids are fine floundering on their own. Or maybe they believe everybody learns the same way and at the same speed so supports aren't needed. Newsflash — in my split Grade 5/6 class, I have Grade 1 readers all the way up to Grade 8. Students do learn differently and at different speeds. Some students need lots of reviewing and some understand it the first time. Schools need the extra resources and supports to make sure every student has the opportunity to succeed. It breaks our hearts knowing that we can't give our/ your kids what they need every day. The classroom you envision your child to be in is not the same classroom the government is trying to force upon our children. Stand with us and let your voices be heard. I urge you to write letters to your MLA and Christy Clark. Enough is enough. Our kids deserve better. Sarah rowat So why not adopt? They will repay you abundantly with loyalty and love and the planet will be one less without a home, one more home. Treya Doga

As Silver Star’s annual Summer Wine and Food Festival moves closer to a sellout, the stakes have increased for the Vernon Jubilee Hospital. A silent auction of the artwork created by six local artists over the weekend will raise money for the local hospital. The pairing of art and wine will create an inspired ambience over the three-day festival from today until Sunday. Art lovers will have the opportunity to witness a creative evolution on canvas by six Okanagan artists from the Odin Gallery, as they capture the beauty and serenity of Silver Star from the heart of the village. Bids during a silent auction will be accepted in the village between 4 and 6:30 p.m. Saturday and winners will take home a special piece of art. Proceeds from the auction will be split between the artists and the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation. “This weekend we are celebrating all that’s uniquely Okanagan. The wine, the food, the artists – it’s all local,” said Anne Haight, director of sales and marketing. “It’s the perfect opportunity to come for the weekend and enjoy food, wine and music, revel in the fresh mountain air and embrace some of the best views of the Monashee mountains.” Tickets to events and seminars can be purchased by calling 250-558-6083 or emailing info@skisilverstar.com. “We’re anticipating the weekend to be even bigger than last year and it’s selling out fast,” said Haight. Chef David Hawksworth is headlining the festival with a very special dinner paired with Okanagan wines at 6 p.m. today and a cooking demonstration at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. From 4 p.m. Saturday is the Mile High Wine Tasting. Up to 30 winemakers will showcase their finest varietals. Gallery Odin will be hosting a special exhibit between 10 a.m and 6 p.m. today and Saturday in the Snow-Sport School building. This year’s group of six artists participating include Glenn Clark, Elizabeth Moore, Destanne

Mussel monitoring launched at harbour Morning Star Staff
A Regional District of Central Okanagan boat launch is part of a
valley-wide network of monitoring stations for invasive mussels. The monitor device
is installed in Okanagan Lake at the Okanagan Centre Safe Harbour Regional Park boat
launch in Lake Country. The Okanagan and Similkameen Invasive Species Society installed
the monitoring station and checks it monthly through the fall along with taking a plankton

tion is made of a rope with a weight at one end and a series of small sections of PVC pipe and mesh. If the invasive mollusk species (which range in size from a grain of sand to thumbnail size) is present, it will attach to this artificial, solid surface. The monitor is intended to act as a warning device as this would be a likely location that any mussels would show up, being transported on or in boats and trailers. The society and the Okanagan Basin Water Board’s Okanagan WaterWise program are encouraging all owners of personal watercraft and boats to check their vessels for signs of the invasive mussels, especially if they have been out of the province. By adopting the clean, drain, dry protocol residents and visiting boat owners can help protect B.C. lakes from these species, which have caused havoc and created a major economic cost in other jurisdictions because they rapidly colonize on hard surfaces, impacting tourism, recreation and infrastructure.

Grindrod hosts fun days richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Grindrod residents are celebrating their sense of community.

That is followed by lawn tractors at 9 a.m. and running every half-an-hour, as well as the tug-of-war at 10 a.m. and face painting at 10:30 a.m. There are also children’s games at 10:30 a.m. “They all get prizes,” said Kibbe. At 11:30 a.m., the Shuswap Pioneer Collectors Club will hold a tractor parade and then conduct demonstrations of the vehicles. “They have been with us right from the beginning,” said Kibbe of the club. There will be a hall appreciation ceremony at noon, with an appreciation cake at 12:30 a.m. and a cake walk at 1 p.m. There will be another tractor parade at 3:30 p.m. and Flashback will perform during the Music on the River concert at 7 p.m. On Sunday, there is the pancake breakfast at 8 a.m., the mutt show at 9 a.m. and a rally obedience demonstration at 10:30 a.m. There will also be a gospel church service at

out for the Sasquatch sponge throw. “The kids stick their heads through the hole in the Sasquatch sign
and they throw sponges at each other,” said Kibby. “It’s cool fun to beat the heat with.”

Special guest for cadets Morning Star Staff
A group of youth had an opportunity to meet the Queen’s representative in B.C. On Tuesday, the 4th Canadian Ranger Patrol Group Junior Canadian Rangers had a visit with Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon during the enhanced training session in Vernon. “While visiting the camp, her honour had the opportunity to talk with 185 youth from over 35 communities across Canada, along with Canadian Rangers, primary reservists and adult committee members,” said Capt. Steven Parker, 4 CRPG public affairs representative. “She discussed with the youth the value of approaching life with a focus on respect, relationships and responsibility. She encouraged the youth
to learn from each other and make new friends. Her honour also impressed upon the youth the value of our land and caring for it, a lesson which the youth took to heart when shown the destructive effects of preventable invasive species.” The Junior Canadian Ranger program is for boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 18 who live in remote and isolated communities of Canada. Junior Canadian Rangers are taught traditional skills, life skills, and Canadian Ranger skills. The enhanced training session is an opportunity for the JCRs to attend a 10-day summer camp. “During the camp they meet youth and experience cultures from across Canada while participating in many exciting and challenging activities,” said Parker.

Morning Star Staff
They are down to the final four in the Gibson Cup playoffs. Regular-season North Okanagan Soccer League champion Courvas of Salmon Arm (12-1-1) will host Turn-Key Controls of Vernon (8-5-1) in one semifinal Wednesday. Second-place North Enderby Timber (9-4-1) go up against Monashee FC of Vernon (4-8-2) in the other Wednesday semifinal at MacDonald Park. The Cup final goes Saturday, Aug. 16 with the time to be announced. Turn-Key established a spot in the semis by brushing back Peters Tirecraft 4-0 at Marshall Field #2. The Controllers’ first goal came off of a sweet inswing corner by Andrew Pool that Nathan Tucker directed into the net for a 1-0 halftime lead. Pool then took down a ball sent over the top and put it past Tirecraft keeper Riley Spraggs midway through the second half. Turn-Key, with three subs, took advantage of the weary, subless Tirecraft in the final 25 minutes with the nicest goal of the evening coming courtesy of the Pool brothers. David Weir fed Thomas Pool, who made a move and a perfect pass to Andrew Pool, who one-timed it bottom corner for his second of the game. Adam McCaffrey scored the last goal putting it just off the post and in past Spraggs. LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR Monashee, who placed sixth in the regular table, Nathan Tucker of Turn-Key Controls connects with the ball as he goes up for a shelled the eight-man Salmon Arm Outlaws 12-0 header against Mike Adams of Peters Tirecraft in men’s playoff action Wednesday Wednesday night at Mac Park. night at Marshall Field.

Churchill keeps Canadian crown TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff

Cole Churchill saddle bronc riding at a previous event.
Cole Churchill is Canada’s top amateur cowboy once again. For the second straight summer, Churchill captured the Canadian High School Rodeo Finals high-point total in Nanton, Alta. with a 481. “There isn’t one event that stands out to me. Just being able to attend these rodeos was pretty cool in my last year of high school,” said Churchill. “It’s been fun.” Churchill, a Pleasant Valley grad, won the saddle bronc riding with 138 points. He finished second in cutting with a three-round total of 212 points and 21st in steer wrestling during his title defence. “He’s a pretty laid back kid, but you could tell he was pretty excited about this one,” said Cole’s father, Jason Churchill. “It’s a pretty exciting way to end his high school career.” Churchill was down in Rock Springs, Wyo. in late July for the
National High School Finals Rodeo where he finished second in the saddle bronc. He brought back $1,500 in scholarships and a big shinny belt buckle for being he only cowboy to ride all four horses. The saddle bronc riding has been the most improved aspect to his rodeo. He doesn’t have the horses to practise with on his ranch, so he wings it once he steps into the arena. “I got a new saddle last spring and it’s a lot more comfortable. I also have more experience riding,” said Cole Churchill. His father made the trips to Wyoming and Nanton, and was surprised by how well his son performed. “We were pretty shocked with how well he did in the saddle bronc. He got good horses to ride and ended up finishing second best in the world,” said Jason Churchill. Cole heads down to Western Oklahoma State College Sunday with a few of his horses on a full-ride scholarship. Churchill wants to be an electrical engineer.

Joe Byram will head down to Australia with the senior Canadian swim team to compete in the Pan Pacific Championships Aug. 21-24. in California and it was terrible. I was way off his time,” said Byram. “It was just another experience for me to work towards my goal.” For Byram, it is all about 2016 and Rio de Janeiro. He is working hard to crack the Olympic roster and fulfill his goal of bringing home a medal. “It’s all about the development of athletes. Joe is in the right spot, at the right moment and the right age to build towards his goal of the 2016 Games,” said Lebrun. This past season with the University of Alberta Golden Bears, Byram won Canada West silver medals in the 50, 100 and 200 backstroke, along with bronze in the 4x200 freestyle relay and the 4x100 medley relay. He also led the Bears to the CIS bronze medal in the 4x100 medley relay. The Pan Pacific Championships are scheduled around Olympic and World Championship times and are for athletes bordering the Pacific Ocean. The U.S. lead the all-time medal count with 473. Canada is fourth with 112.

There’s plenty of swimming to do around Australia in the Great Barrier Reef, but one former Vernon Kokanee swimmer will be preoccupied taking on Olympic champions. Joe Byram is heading down under for the Pan Pacific Championships, Aug. 21-24, in Gold Coast, Aus. The national program selected Byram following his third-place performance in the 100metre backstroke, in 55.85 seconds, during the Canadian Swimming Trials at Victoria’s Saanich Commonwealth Place. “It was a relief to make the team, but not a surprise. It is all part of my plan to get to 2016,” said Byram. The six-foot Byram is training in Montreal with a few Pan Pacific teammates before he makes the 26-hour flight to Australia. He is getting his first taste at world class tutelage with coach Benoit Lebrun, one of the most experienced swimming coaches in Canada. Lebrun has worked three Olympic Games, three Commonwealth Games and two world championships. He has also won seven provincial and two national coaching awards. “I just met Joe yesterday. I first saw him in Victoria when he got named to the team, but right now we are getting acquainted with each other,” said Lebrun. Lebrun has worked with some of Canada’s elite backstroke swimmers in the past. He worked the past five years with Charles Francis, who, under Lebrun, competed in the London Olympics and World Championships. “Joe is going to gain a lot of experience from this event and that is what we are looking for on the developmental side,” said Lebrun. Byram leaves Canada on Tuesday, arrives in Gold Coast on Thursday, with races beginning on the following Thursday. He will be competing in the 100- and 200-metre backstroke. Canada is bringing 36 athletes, including London 2012 Olympic silver medalist Ryan Cochrane, who won silver in the 1,500-metre freestyle. “Ryan has been a great influence on me. The swimming community is pretty small; we follow each others’ races all the time,” said Byram, who is majoring in political science at the University of Alberta. Previous Olympic champions such as Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte competed and won during the 2010 Pan Pacific Championships in Irvine, Calif. “It’s not surreal for me to be racing guys I watched on TV when I was 10. To me they are just targets now,” said Byram. The Americans are holding their qualifications this week in Irvine to see who will line up alongside Byram. “It’s about racing the best swimmers out there. I raced Michael (Phelps) at an event last winter

doubles, just ahead of Foukal and Rice. The Vernon team showed remarkable strength and a high level of fitness with most of their races landing on day two, sometimes with less than an hour to recover between races. The Vernon Rowing and Dragon Boat Club will hold its fourth Annual Dragon Boat Festival and Pledge Drive Saturday, Aug. 16, at Kal Beach. Money raised from this event will go towards breast cancer research.

With three games remaining in the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association teams are jostling for final positioning. The Okanagan Season Sistas iced the Goplen Drillers 2-1 in Masters Division play Tuesday night at Marshall Field #2. The Drillers (5-9-5) took a 1-0 lead into halftime after sneaking one past Sistas’ keeper Suzyn August. Diane Neudorf tied it for the 6-10-2 Sistas in the second half when she took a sweet cross from Lisa Geary and sniped the bottom-right corner. Tammy Buick sent Genevieve Nice off to the races with a gorgeous through ball midway through the second half. Nice ripped down the right side and scored on a tight-angled shot. August made several great saves and Danielle Moffat was a rock on the back line.

Jacquie Hansen put on a clinic Tuesday night with eight goals as Dr. Lee Dental/Squires Four Pub stuffed the Shuswap Merlot 10-1 at MacDonald Park. Hansen sniped four in each half and Deanna
Baker kicked in a pair. Dr. Lee improved to 18-0-1, while the Merlot dipped to 7-10-2.
Kickers brush back Controllers 4-0
The Chick Kickers stifled the Controllers 4-0 at a steamy MacDonald Park. Twin sisters Mel Jacobs and Holly Finkman played outstanding for the 15-3-1 Chick Kickers. Jacobs scored a natural hat trick to start the game, then Finkman took a perfect cross from Wendy Martens, blew past a trio of defenders and jacked one top shelf. Robyn Sherwood picked up the shutout. The Controllers (9-8-2) started with nine players as Leah Mulvihill, Mandy Frederick and Michele Wernicke had their hands full trying to slow the Kickers’ offence.

Zanatta earns coach upgrade Black Press Sports
Prior to the start of UBC Okanagan’s inaugural season of Canada West soccer this fall, Heat head coach Dante Zanatta added another title to his coaching portfolio. In July, Zanatta earned his national ‘A’ coaching license – the highest coaching level attainable through the Canadian Soccer Association. A rigorous and highly involved course, Dante started the ‘A’ license program two years ago with 24 candidates, and after putting in countless hours of work, he finished the two-year course on time with just three of his peers. With his ‘A’ license, Zanatta now has the opportunity to work with the national team and indicates he would like to do so one day, but his immediate goal is to utilize his training locally with the UBC
Okanagan Heat and Kelowna United. “Anytime coaches can get educated and up to speed and updated on new trends, it only helps our program,” said Zanatta. “It will allow me to have opportunities with the national teams and their training, but right now it helps build UBC Heat into a program that can vie for national championships. “It’s new information, it’s validating things that we are doing, and it’s making that level the standard.” Referencing the World Cup as an example of how having highly trained coaches can influence a country’s prowess, Zanatta added: “Look at some of the stats, a country like Germany who have the UEFA ‘A’ license, has four or five times the numbers (top level coaches) of what England has and Germany is winning World Cups and the English aren’t.”

A Spallumcheen foursome won the Capri Cup Tuesday at the Vernon Golf & Country Club. Pam Page, Lisa Weir, Patti Kidd and Brenda Howard claimed the annual Capri Cup in a field of 32 teams which played under warm, sunny skies and stellar course conditions. Teams played a bestball net format. Runner-up prizes went to Vernon’s Karen Hassard, Karen Kindrachuk, Jane Robertson and Janet Reinbolt. In third place was the Shuswap Lake Estates team of Gail Orser, Lana German, Karen Longman and Linda Williamson, followed by Vernon’s Jackie Jones, Trudy Walker, Thelma Trickett and Mia Sakakibara. Joan Sivyer, Debbie Powell, Alexis Percy and Susan Toews of Kelowna finished fourth, while Rosmarie Rachwalski,
Pam Rieger, Debbie Fisher and Norma Lemiski of Vernon took fifth. Theresa Hirschbold, Lynn Webster, Doreen Walton and Trudy Hodge of Vernon placed sixth, while the Predator foursome of Maureen Turner, Gloria Craig, Monica Jarvis and Doreen Butterworth was seventh. Maria Smith, Denise MacDonald, Wendy Berger and Maria Thomas of Vernon took 10th, while Suzanne Hocevar, Bobbie Cook, Cheryl Schmidt and Sharon Noble of Vernon were 12th. Closest-to-the-pin winners were Maria Pires (Osoyoos), Hassard, Lora Lea Harrison (Wolf Creek) and Fisher. A total of 13 ladies recorded deuces. Aces were flying at Hillview Golf Course Wednesday. Don Crabbe, playing with the men’s
club, teed off at 2:30 p.m. for 18 holes. He was having a good round, shooting 1-over on the front nine before holing the 15th hole which was playing about 140 yards. Crabbe shot even par. “The bonus is the men’s club (group that plays Wednesdays and Saturdays) will throw a little money in the kitty every time they play for a hole in one pot,” said Hillview pro Keith Vandenbrink. “Most years, the pot gets donated to local charities at the end of the year when no one claims the prize. This year the donation will be a little smaller because Don will be a little bit richer.” Jack Wallace then teed off with his daughter for nine holes just after 6 p.m. and aced the 197-yard ninth hole. “Both players received a complimentary hole in one mug which (owner) Jim Atmore fills up a few times with their beverage of choice.”
years as the head coach of the Ottawa 67’s midget AAA hockey team after his playing career was over. “We were looking for someone who was willing to take on the goaltending duties but who could also do other coaching duties for us as well and Travis fit the bill,” said Rockets’ head coach Dan Lambert. “I’m very excited to add Travis to our staff. He’s a young guy and he’s very open-minded.” Dillabaugh was instrumental in the hiring process and Lambert loves the new signing. “Travis and Kim had some long con-
versations about goaltending and the position and how it’s evolved over the last five or 10 years,” said Lambert. “Things have really changed and I think Kim was really happy with what he heard from Travis.” Crickard’s other duties will include video coach. “It’s definitely an exciting challenge that I’m really looking forward,” said Crickard. “I’m honoured to be part of such a worldclass organization. In speaking with Dan, I feel like we will have a great working relationship. We share a lot of the same ideas and he seems open to the ideas that I bring to the table.”
Aces wild at Hillview
Travis Crickard is the newest member of the Kelowna Rockets’ coaching staff. The WHL club this week hired the 26-year-old native of St. John’s as an assistant/goalie coach for the 2014-15 season. Crickard fills the vacancy left by Kim Dillabaugh, who resigned this summer to take on a full-time position with the L.A. Kings. Crickard played two years of Junior A with Flin Flon and two years of collegiate in New York. Crickard was an assistant/goalie coach for the Ottawa 67’s of the Ontario Hockey League last season and also spent two

Think on your feet and be prepared to change directions quickly when an unexpected turn of events takes place. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Stay in control and stick to your own agenda. A snap decision will prove costly, so stand your ground if anyone tries to push you in a direction you don’t want to go.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder SOUTH MUST DETECT AND DETOUR DANGER Mike Fitzpatrick, a congressman from Pennsylvania, said, “Internet safety begins at home, and that is why my legislation would require the Federal Trade Commission to design and publish a unique website to serve as a clearinghouse and resource for parents, teachers and children for information on the dangers of surfing the Internet.” So you have to surf the Internet to learn about the dangers of surfing the Internet! In today’s deal, declarer not only has to see the danger to his contract, but then must also work out how to survive. How should South play in six hearts after
West leads the diamond queen? Most pairs treat South’s three-heart response as forcing for one round. The aide-memoire is “six and 16” -- at least a six-card suit and 16 high-card points. North raises, knowing that two honors doubleton are easily as good as three low. South has three possible losers: two spades and one heart. However, as long as he can ruff his spade losers, he can afford a heart loser. Or, if he has no trump loser, he can afford one spade loser. Whenever you can ruff a loser in the shorter trump hand, it is almost certain to be the right line of play. So, South should immediately cash his two top spades and ruff a spade in the dummy
-- but with which trump? Here, if South ruffs with dummy’s 10, East overruffs and returns a trump to defeat the contract. Instead, though, declarer ruffs with dummy’s king, returns to his hand with a diamond, and ruffs his last spade with the heart 10. East may overruff, but that is his only trick.

Getting to know: Tanya Lipscomb Aniko Forgo Special to The Morning Star
Editor’s note: Kalamalka secondary school graduate Aniko Forgo returns with her Q&As with local artists/musicians. This week, The Morning Star presents her interview with Tanya Lipscomb, a well-known performer in the North Okanagan. Q. How many shows do you think you do a year? A: “About 70-100 shows a year. But if we add “Kiki the Eco Elf ” shows, about 200 a year.” Q: Can you tell us a bit about your upcoming album? Will you be planning another tour? A: “I have three albums I am currently working on. The first is a “Kiki” children’s album, the second is a remix of my first two albums, and the third is all new material with local musicians galore which is another genre-crossing, uplifting record. Really excited about this one. I am touring the coast, the Kootenays, and a big cross-Canada tour soon.” Q: What were you like when you were younger? A: “I was a wild child raised on an organic farm in the backwoods with no TV, and a LOT of hard work. I have been composing music since I was three.” Q: Have you ever written a song for someone? A: “I have written 100s of songs, and almost every single one of them is for someone, or inspired by someone. My most recent (on the upcoming album) is about my Granddad who recently passed away.” Q: I know that you also perform in a group made up of Melina Moore and Judy Rose called “The Dharma Dolls.” What is that like? A: “Performing with The Dharma Dolls is like the BEST roller-coaster ride ever! It is fun, exhilarating, and sometimes I forget to breathe. They are incredible musicians to work with, and are two of my dearest friends in B.C.” Q: I know that as well as music you are an artist. Can you tell us a bit about your artwork? A: “Art in all of its forms and glory is a deep and vulnerable expression of one’s soul. Currently my visual art is inspired by sacred geometry, metallics and vivid colour. Body painting will always be my biggest passion in visual art. There is nothing quite like a naked body as a canvas.” Q: Do you have any funny stories from the road? A: “Two words. Hitch hikers. I have hitch-hiked 20,000 kilometers in my life, so I try to pick them up as much as I can when I’m on the road. Some of the best road stories I have involve a hitch hiker.” Q: If you could play a concert in any other country in the world, where would you go? A: “Professionally I would pick Germany, where there is great respect and support for music. Selfishly, I would choose Cuba, because the rhythm sections I would get to play with are out of this world!” Q: If today was your last day on earth, how would you spend it? A: “I would build a fort and snuggle with my kids and

party and would end the day making music until the break of dawn”.

Admission is $2 and the fun includes live music, artists’ demonstrations and fun for kids.
Hinting at inspiration the Gaslight Anthem: Get Hurt
N
ew Jersey rockers The Gaslight Anthem’s fifth album, Get Hurt, covers a lot of bases. The opening track, Stay Vicious, blasts in with a stonerapproved sludge rock groove that segues into chiming indie rock choruses. The band maintains their trademark raw drive, but deepens the mood with thoughtful tracks that reach toward anthemic ideas. They don’t get there, but the inspiDean Gordon-Smith ration that drives the ideas is present on some songs.

sound direction hinted at early on in the album and veer off to the safe haven of commercial altrock. This is the weak point of the record. The interesting music on Get Hurt is on tracks that move in to fluid ideas that don’t settle into specific places. Red Violins runs on poetic vocal ideas that are boosted along by a clanging New Wave guitar-drum rhythm. The weak material is on songs like Rollin’ and Tumblin’ — which doesn’t do either. It’s following a script on how to rock out — sounds full, but lacks real balls. They use the game show arena rock sound too often, (Dark Places), and that sound obscures biting songs like Selected Poems and Break Your Heart. The album straddles the fence between industry standard and rock band inspired.

Paddlers and drummers wait for their start at last year’s Prospera Vernon Dragon Boat Festival. This year’s event takes place Aug. 16.
Paddlers race for a cause
Morning Star Staff
The Prospera Vernon Dragon Boat Festival is set for another great day of racing and fund raising on Kalamalka Lake, Aug. 16. More than 400 paddlers from clubs in Penticton, Kelowna, Vernon, Kamloops, Salmon Arm and Nelson will gather on the beach. The event is one of the highlight festivals on the race calendar, and the racing is expected to be tight as teams progress through three races. “With 20 paddlers, a drummer and steer person in each boat, the loaded weight of these mighty boats can approach 3,000 pounds,” said Lisa George, manager at the Vernon Rowing and Dragon Boat Club. “Teamwork and timing are critical!” The festival leaves a valuable legacy in the community. More than $25,000 has been raised to date to purchase criti-
cal breast cancer diagnostic equipment at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. This year’s funds will help finalize the purchase of a digital mammography unit, valued at more than $700,000. Through events such as the Prospera Dragon Boat Festival, the final $83,000 is expected to be raised by the end of this year. Members of the VJH Foundation will be on the beach and accepting donations. “Holding the festival on Kal Lake is a huge draw for paddlers, we love to showcase this beautiful setting to visitors,” said George. “The beach and pier make for great viewing of all of the races and the day is full of fun with lots of activity on the beach. Come and watch the racing unfold!” As well as watching the racing, George said there will be a wide range of activities on the beach. “Prospera Credit Union will be giving away beach balls and frisbees, Tree
Brewing will be hosting a beer garden on the beach until 5:30 p.m. and there will be a variety of vendors. “We will also be holding a Breast Cancer Survivor Carnation Ceremony at noon to honour those who have lost the battle against this terrible disease.” The Prospera Vernon Dragon Boat Festival takes place Aug. 16 at Kal Beach, with the racing starting at 8:30 a.m. and running to around 3 p.m. The final event of the day will be a water ski challenge. Paddlers will be working hard to tow a water skier right from the beach to wrap up a full day. “We are really hoping to draw our community along to cheer on the teams. “Come and cheer on teams of 20 paddlers as they race to the finish line at Kal Beach — this event is great fun for families.” For more details on the event, please see www.vrdbc.com.

Lumby library welcomes Bramble Morning Star Staff
Come in to the Lumby branch of the Okanagan Regional Library during August to meet the artist: Olena Bramble, a member of Monashee Arts Council. It was about 20 years ago that Bramble saw someone drop some coloured water onto paper. “I was amazed at what I saw,” she said. “The paint spread into a wonderful design and I wondered what else could be done to continue the magic of it all.” But it wasn’t until 2007 that Bramble found time to take some watercolour painting classes and so was finally able to satisfy her curiosity in what happens when coloured water hits the paper. “And, I am still amazed at what can be done with this beautiful style of painting.” Life-long learning has always been a way of life for Bramble, so she is excited to have been able to make watercolour painting one of her favourite learning pasttimes. “Even when I get quite frustrated with a painting I am working

“I am still amazed at what can be done with this beautiful style of painting.” — Olena Bramble
on, I keep coming back to it because the challenge is always so interesting. “Presently, I am drawn to painting flowers which demand a delicate touch and for every successful painting of the subject, five or so are piled up in a corner, showing me later, how much I have grown. “They say that it takes passion to keep an artist interested enough to keep going. And that is how I feel. I enjoy the continuous wonder of the magic I saw so many years ago while watching someone drop some coloured water onto paper. And now it’s me sitting with paper, coloured water and brushes watching my own magic happen right in front of me as I paint flowers.” All are welcome to drop into the library to browse through Bramble’s featured work.
Our Mission is not in any spirit of bombast, not from any silly hankering after prophetic dignity, nor for morbid love of the sensational or sublime, but from this money grubbing, mammon worshipping, self loving, God hating, evil and distressed world – now lost amid the vagaries of a perverted theology, or drowned amid the changing secular strife which makes men unheedful of God’s existence and uncareful of His purposes; lost of the system of truth proclaimed by Jesus.

A forest firefighters’ truck of choice
By Ian Harwood
The 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel V8, with higher power ratings for 2015, coupled with a 6R140 heavy duty Torqshift six-speed automatic transmission delivers improved torque, horsepower and fuel economy. The engine pumps out a whopping 860 ft.lb of torque at 1,600 rpm and 440 horsepower at 2,800 rpm.
the forest floor are the roads on which they must travel. There is a variety of vehicles in the firefighter fleet but lately they have been using the Ford Super-Duty as the prime support vehicle. The new 2015 version is powerful enough to haul heavy trailers and large enough to double as a mobile office.
Forest fire conditions in this province are at an alltime high and the wood is very dry. The men and women that fight these fires every year rely on their vehicles to take them to the battlefield. Remote back roads and sometimes

The interior is very functional. The avail- Ian Harwood able LCD productivity screen keeps you up to date with vital information, for example fuel economy numbers, towing, off-road information and voice command navigation. A rapid heat supplemental cab heater is available for those cold days that you need interior heat quickly. When you leave your mobile office, it is nice to know you have options with storing your valuables. Under-seat locking storage compartments beneath the first and second row seats provide space for laptops and other important things. I really liked the layout of the gauges and controls in this vehicle; all are easily read and accessible. There are 12-volt outlets everywhere, two in the dash, one in the centre console, one in the back of that console, right beside the newly added 110V/150W power inverter and there’s a supply located in the rear under seat storage bin on the driver’s side. The front seats I found very comfortable and perfect for a long day at work. The rear seating positions were also very comfortable with lots of legroom. Noise levels in the cab, or lack thereof was amazing. This is must be the quietest diesel on the planet. It runs as quietly as a gasoline vehicle. You can easily hold conversations in the cab at any speed with no interference from outside sources. It was also a treat to be able to order from a drive thru window without having to shut the truck off! Remember, when travelling the back-roads this summer, pay attention to the Fire danger rating, follow any camp fire bans, and report any fires you see too 1-800-663-5555 or *5555. Help the firefighters keep their trucks clean and shiny for longer!

Korean wagon is a funky Soul
By Bob McHugh
The Kia Soul is a trendy styling concept that somehow makes a roomy and practical boxy shape look funky. The cleverly designed compact 4-door hatchback wagon is easy on fuel, keenly priced and packed with features. Soul blew away its main (mini-box) competitors (from Honda, Nissan and Scion), when introduced for the 2010 model year. Used buyers will also be pleased to learn that, so far, the Soul has proved to very reliable and there’s a reasonably good supply of them available on the market. You do have to be sold on its polarizing (love/hate) looks and appreciate the functional aspects of its design. On the inside, there is lots of room for taller passengers and 60/40 split-folding rear seats even allow you to stuff in a bike, or large

golf bags. The base engine in a 2010 Kia Soul is a (122-hp) 1.6-litre four-cylinder and it only came as a single trim edition with a five-speed manual transmission. Far more popular is the (142-hp) 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, which came with a five-speed manual or an optional four-speed automatic transmission and in four trim levels 2u, 4u, 4u Retro, and 4u Burner. Even a basic Soul comes with heated power mirrors, heated seats, a tilt steering column, power windows and locks, wheel-mounted audio controls, Bluetooth connectivity and rear washer/wiper. Moving up the trim levels can add 16-inch or 18inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, cruise control, patterned seat inserts, keyless entry, dash-mounted tweeter speakers, door-mounted LED mood speak-

ers and all sorts of unique extras to enhance the funky-car experience. Standard safety features include six airbags and anti-whiplash active front head restraints. Electronic stability control and 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes come with 2u or higher trim levels. Soul also got a “Top Safety Pick” classification rating, even though it was rated poor in its new “small overlap” crash test that simulates a front corner collision with a pole or another vehicle. The base 1.6L model got four-wheel disc anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control for the 2011 model year, making these features standard on all models. The outside door handles were also changed (from flip-up) to a grip type and a Luxury trim line was added. This new top-line trim added body-colour bumpers, a rear-view camera, automat-

ic climate control, Smart Key with pushbutton start, leather upholstery and a centre console armrest. Changes to Soul for the 2012 model year included interior and exterior styling enhancements, but were primarily mechanical. Even though displacement figures remained the same, the new engines are more powerful and a fuel-saving (hybrid-like) Idle Stop-and-Go feature was an option. New manual and automatic transmissions also came with six-speed gear ratios. In addition to extra power a 2012 of newer Soul’s fuel consumption is lower. The 2.0 litre engine with an automatic transmission is rated at 7.9 L/100km city and 5.9 L/100km on the highway. While that’s a noteworthy improvement, a similar pre-2012 edition Kia Soul (rated at 8.5 city and 6.6 highway) is also a frugal fuel user. continued on page B14

Irmgard Camilla von Hansen
Patricia Lucille Jean Wenzel (nee Dirk)
Irmgard von Hansen passed away on July 27th 2014 in Vernon BC, at 86 years of age. A pastor’s daughter, she was born in Riga, Latvia in 1927. During WW II, she took refuge in Poland and then Germany, where she studied dance and gymnastics. Next, she worked at hospitals in Switzerland as a massage therapist before immigrating to Canada in 1955, where she married fellow Latvian Jobst von Hansen. While raising their three children, she became a founding member of The Vernon Dance Group, and taught Creative Dance Improvisation for nearly two decades.
was born on October 11th, 1927 in Westerham, Saskatchewan, the second eldest of seven children born to Edmund and Rita Dirk. She was called Home to be with her Lord on July 31st, 2014 at the age of 86 years and is now flying with the angels in Heaven. Patricia is survived by her four children, Terry (Bonnie) Wenzel of Mission, B.C., Beverly Beck of Nelson, B.C., Bonnie (Fabian Kahiamoe) Chadwell of Port Orchard, WA and Debra (Terry) Krause of Vernon, B.C.; eight grandchildren, Roger (Debora), Troy (Carla), Brian, Linda (Jeremy), Trevor (Donna), Dwayne (Sarah), Brent (Amanda) and Trina (Ryon); seventeen great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; one brother, Cecil; two sisters, Pearl and Isabel; and numerous extended family members and friends. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Paul, to whom she was married for over 66 years; her parents; two brothers, Vernon and Victor; one sister, Rita; one son-in-law, Clifford; and one great-grandson, Forrest.
Three words that capture Irmi’s life are: creativity, spirituality and love. While dance was her chief passion she also enjoyed playing the piano, sketching, swimming and reading. She had a deeply contemplative nature and studied the Mahikari philosophy and the teachings of the Dalai Lama. Most of all, she loved to throw open her heart and home to those in need of affection, acceptance or just a home-cooked meal. Joyous, free-spirited and always unconventional, she danced through life’s challenges with graciousness and dignity.
Patricia came to Vernon in 1947 where she made her home and raised her family. She was a devoted wife; loving mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother; and a loyal friend. Patricia was a wonderful homemaker and loved cooking, canning, baking, cake decorating, sewing and crocheting. She was an outstanding caregiver, having nursed many friends and family back to health when they had been ill. Cremation preceded a Celebration Of Patricia`s Life which will be held at Bethel Funeral Chapel on Saturday, August 9th, 2014 at 10:00 A.M. with Pastor David Reim officiating. A Reception will follow in the Bethel Tea Room.
Irmi was predeceased by her husband Jobst, and is survived by her partner Hagen Tanner, her three children Tom von Hansen, Maja Keast and Danielle McElroy, and grandson Collin von Hansen. A private celebration of life will be held at her home, attended by family and close friends.
As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Patricia to the St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1503 Pottery Road, Vernon, B.C. V1T 3W6.
Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories through Irmgard’s obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices.com.

Larry Blake March 21, 1942 – August 2, 2014
After a brave battle with cancer, Larry passed away on Saturday, August 2, 2014.
On July 28, 2014, Lena died peacefully at the age of 96, at the end of a very long and fulfilling life. Lena, known to her friends as Lee, was born in Hillsborough, New Brunswick on April 5, 1918, a member of the Steeves family of New Brunswick, who settled there in 1766. In 1945, she and her husband Truman Locheed arrived in Vernon and chose the beautiful location of Okanagan Landing to create a home. There they raised their four daughters, and for decades to follow, the Lake House at Harbour Heights became the central family gathering place for countless enjoyable family and holiday celebrations. While living at Okanagan Landing, Lee and Truman operated a plumbing business and developed the very scenic subdivision of Harbour Heights. They enjoyed many close friendships among the Landing residents of those early years. In 1959, when Eatons of Canada opened its doors in Vernon, Lee began her work there, becoming a very efficient and popular manager of the Shoe Department. After Truman's passing in 1984, Lee settled happily into retirement, beginning a 25 year Tai Chi practice, travelling and enjoying the company of her second husband, Cecil Young. Her qualities of steadfastness, courage and determination touched the lives of all who had the opportunity to know her. She always moved forward to realize her dreams and her goals, no matter how large the obstacles may have appeared. During all of her days, the devoted and abiding love she provided for her children, her grandchildren and her great grandchildren became a precious gift to them, for which they will always be deeply grateful. Her family delighted in the excellent traditional meals she prepared with great skill and creativity well into her 90th year. Lees graciousness, patience and deep sense of beauty accompanied her to her final days, as did her love for her family. Lee is predeceased by her eleven siblings and by her husbands, Truman Locheed and Cecil Young. She is survived by her loving daughters; Joelanne Stanfield, Laura-Lee Locheed, Lynae Locheed and Trudi Locheed and by her grandchildren; David Stanfield, Susan Kurliak, Scott Stanfield, Sandra Magyar, Bryan Magyar, Ragan Niepel, Matthew Fisher, Nathan Fisher and Robekkah Ritchie. Her smile, her apple pies and her kindness will also be missed by her great grandchildren; Luke, Paul, Michael, Benjamin, Heather, Daniel, Elaina, Lauren and Emily. A private cremation ceremony took place at the Vernon Funeral Chapel. A Celebration of Life will be held Sunday, September 21st, 2014, commencing at 12:00 noon at Paddlewheel Park Hall. As are her deepest wishes, Lee's ashes will find their final resting place in the Truman Dagnus Locheed Provincial Park overlooking her home on Okanagan Lake. In lieu of flowers, donations to The Schubert Center, 3503 30 Ave., Vernon would be appreciated. Arrangements are in the care of Vernon Funeral Home 250 542 0155. Condolences may be offered at www.vernonfuneralhome.com

He leaves his sisters: Wilma (Ed) Kaminsky of Armstrong, Linda Brown of Vernon and brother Richard Blake of Vernon; his in-laws Ralph & Carol Hounslow, Audrey & the late Norm Downs, Les & Noreen Hounslow, plus extended family members. Larry was born and raised in Vernon. He worked for Consumers Glass driving a lift truck for 34 years. Larry loved to fish, hunt, walk and bike. The last eight years put extra pep in his steps, walking every morning early with his dog Odie by his side. Cremation has taken place. At Larry’s request, there will be no funeral service held. Arrangements were in the care of Vernon Funeral Home. 250 542 0155
