Pellet plant protest fails to derail plans JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

Parents fought with passion for the protection of their children, pulling at the heartstrings of politicians, during a nearly six-hour public hearing on the proposed Lavington pellet plant. They were successful in convincing three Coldstream councillors from their original position (back in January) in support of the proposed pellet plant in Lavington. But it wasn’t quite enough to stall the plant process, which is now on track with appropriate land use designation for construction of the facility on agricultural land near Lavington Elementary School. While Councillors Gyula Kiss, Richard Enns and Doug Dirk were opposed, Mayor Jim Garlick and councillors Maria Besso, Pat Cochrane and Peter McClean approved the zoning change. Tears were shed as parents walked away with their heads hung low. “Too bad for us,” said one mom, as she left consoling another, just a couple of the nearly 550 people who signed a petition against the plant. For most of those in opposition, it’s not the 20 full-time jobs, or the additional rail cars or traffic that the proposed wood pellet plant will bring to town that Lavington residents are concerned with. It’s the emissions that the plant will add to an air-quality challenged valley which they fear, especially since the plant is just 200 metres from the Lavington Elementary school yard. “I first started out in favour of this plant,” admits Brad Broten, a Brewer Road resident whose kids attend Lavington Elementary. “I no longer am. “We’re talking about increasing the risk to a population that is already at risk.” It’s specifically the particulate matter (PM) which comes from pellet plants which residents are concerned with. Choking back his own tears, Broten spoke up at Coldstream’s second public hearing on the

Fred Spinola, a wood drying expert with Deltech Manufacturing, speaks about the safety of Pinnacle’s proposed Lavington pellet plant during a second public hearing at Coldstream municipal hall Monday. Bill Turanski (top right), Vernon School Board chairman, asks council to delay a decision on the plant, which is near Lavington Elementary, until the board can meet and discuss the issue. Resident Max Russmann speaks against the plant, suggesting that many will pull their kids from the school, forcing it to close. subject Monday at the municipal office, where 85 people came out with varying views on the plant. Citing reports of PM linked to lung cancer, among other adverse health affects, Broten and those in opposition are concerned for their children. However Pinnacle Renewable Energy and Tolko Industries, the partners in the pellet plant project, maintain that this plant is safe. “The difference with this project is this is an organic matter,” said Karen Phillipps, scientist diplomate of the American Board of Toxicology. “I can’t see that there would be any effects.” Phillipps was one of several experts brought in by Pinnacle and Tolko to speak on such subjects and PM and the plant’s drying process. Fred Spinola, of Deltech Manufacturing, has worked in the wood drying field for more than 20 years and says the technology Pinnacle is proposing for the

Lavington pellet plant is top of the line. Unlike drum dryers, which are currently predominant in North America, this plant has a belt or bed dryer (which are successfully used in Europe). The main difference between the two is temperature. Drum dryers maintain dangerous temperatures of 500 to 600 degrees Celsius, whereas bed dryers operate no higher than 130. Along with virtually eliminating the risk of fire or explosion, Spinola explains that these bed dryers are environmentally safe. “Essentially there is zero particulate in suspension during this process.” But the PM, both 10 and 2.5 with the latter being more dangerous, that the plant may exhaust is what concerns residents. “How much economic growth is worth putting our community and children at risk?” asked Jay Shaw, a Locke Drive resident who was also

initially in favour of the plant. Pinnacle’s conservative estimates are that annually there will be .35 microns. Adversely, a study of wood stoves in the area show an elevation of 4.16. Armstrong Coun. Shirley Fowler said Armstrong residents had similar concerns about the Pinnacle mill operating in Armstrong. “In Armstrong you live within one mile of that plant,” said Fowler. While there were some initial noise issues, which were addressed, she says Pinnacle has been a good neighbour in the community. Retired Tolko president Al Thorlakson also says existing dust issues from the planer mill (opposite the tracks to the proposed pellet plant site) will be addressed with the new plant and Tolko efforts. “Beyond the paving of the road, we will be working diligently on the dust and traffic issues that have been raised here.” Coldstream is also demanding

that there be a monitoring station at Lavington Elementary School and in the area of dispersion. The Interior Health Authority has also stated it will not allow permitting to take place unless air standards are met. The Ministry of Environment must also grant approval for the plant, in which it is currently studying the reports, public concerns and its own emission standards. The plant will also be back at Coldstream council for a development permit and other procedural issues but council can no longer receive additional public comments. The Vernon School District has not had a chance to weigh in on the subject, since they do not meet until Aug. 27. Leroy Reitsma, Pinnacle president and CEO, welcomes the school board’s input and says the MoE could make an exemption and hold off on its decision until it has heard from the board.

Couple champions organ donation tioning at 20 per cent, and, according to her, patients at 15 per cent functionality are placed on dialysis – was asked by a nurse if she had heard of the living donor program, whereby she could receive a kidney transplant. “I hadn’t heard of it but I went to St. Paul’s Hospital (Vancouver) for an assessment,” said Jacqueline. After a thorough, intensive five-hour assessment, she was accepted into the living donor program. First step was to try and find a donor on her own, from within her family. No luck. Chris went through the testing, even though he knew he wasn’t going to be a perfect match because of Jacqueline’s rare blood type. No matches, no donors. Anxiety began to creep in. “You think you’re in panic mode and you have to fight not to get into depression mode,” said Jacqueline. “You’re hoping not to get too sick, and there’s the worry of going on dialysis...It doesn’t keep you alive forever. You can be on dialysis but your body declines.” After going through the formal testing to be a living donor and confirming he was not a direct match for his wife, Chris and Jacqueline were told they could now be placed into the donor pairing exchange program.

arried for 25 years. Loving, devoted parents to kids Matthew and Maria and to Charlie, the half-Bichon Frise, half-Havanese family dog. Vernon’s Chris and Jacqueline Marioni are every bit the perfect match. Except for one thing. When it came to donating a kidney for his ailing wife, Chris was not a perfect match. “I have a very rare blood and tissue type, so the chances of me finding a donor were rare to begin with,” said Jacqueline, 48, who, along with Chris, 51, will take part in the annual Vernon Kidney Walk Sunday at 10 a.m. at Polson Park. It was in 2001, preparing for a half-marathon race in Vancouver, that Jacqueline first discovered she had only 40 per cent kidney function in her body. A random creatinine test, which measures kidney function, before the race discovered the results. She had no symptoms or any idea her kidneys were performing poorly. Under strict conditions, Jacqueline completed the halfmarathon, then became a regular visitor to the renal clinic in Kelowna. Ten years after her original diagnosis, Jacqueline – whose kidneys were now func-

Vernon’s Jacqueline and Chris Marioni are champions for organ donation after she received a new kidney and he donated one through the donor exchange program. That would mean Chris could be a kidney donor for somebody else, and Jacqueline could receive a new kidney from a complete stranger. The Marionis were told it could take up to three years to find a chain of people – and a chain could involve up to 12 individuals – before doctors could match donor and recipi-

right now is transplantation.” “So many people when you talk to them about it, they say ‘oh they wouldn’t want my organs,’” said Chris. “There is always something they can take. They won’t take it if they don’t want it. And you can’t use your organs after you die.” When she gets healthier, Jacqueline wants to be a spokesperson that goes to high schools and gives a talk on the importance of organ donation, especially seeing as how she’s a recipient. Sunday’s Kidney Walk is open to everyone. Registration starts at 9 a.m. and the walk begins at 10. As Jacqueline states, it’s not about how many laps or finishing. It’s about taking part.

“It was absolutely a miracle,” said Jacqueline, fighting back tears. There was more to the miracle. After final testing for the match run was completed, Chris was told the recipient for his kidney would be at St. Paul’s Hospital, the same as his wife. On Sept. 11, 2013, the Marionis – located two hospital rooms from

ent. Chris was told to be prepared that his recipient could be anywhere in Canada and he would have to go to their hospital. Jacqueline would be in Vancouver for her surgery.

each other on the same floor at St. Paul’s – had their surgeries. Two months after giving a stranger his kidney, Chris, an application specialist for General Electric Health Care, was back doing all the sports he loves: yoga, running, working out, skiing, cycling, rowing, paddling and playing volleyball. Jacqueline, who works for the B.C. Cancer Agency in Kelowna, admits the last year has been rough. Her function still isn’t great (the kidney she received wasn’t a 100 per cent perfect match, doctors found a rare antigen during the chain testing but said they would have done the transplant anyway if she still wanted to go ahead), but she feels better and healthier even if the lab tests say otherwise. There’s no way the Marionis would miss Sunday’s Kidney Walk. Jacqueline will have a booth set up to talk about organ donation. “One in 10 people in B.C. have kidney disease that we know of,” she said. “I didn’t know I had symptoms of kidney disease so the number is likely higher. Eighty-five per cent of people in B.C. believe in the organ donor program but only 15 per cent are actually signed up. We need organ donors. The only way to cure kidney disease

Parents expect kids back in class Morning Star Staff

Parents are speaking out over the provincial education dispute. In response to systemic problems within the B.C. education system, parent leaders from 28 school districts representing the parents of 81 per cent of B.C. students met in Richmond on the weekend to find a way forward. Consensus was reached, and now those parents – through the B.C. Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils (BCCPAC) – are proposing two actions and inviting all education partners to support their recommendations. Parents appreciate that both government and the BCTF care deeply about students, and recognise that the BCTF’s first responsibility is the interests of its members, while government is responsible for balancing the overall needs of British

Other long-term measures were discussed at the meeting. These concepts will be developed by BCCPAC and District Parent Advisory Councils (DPACs) through further consultations with parents. “We encourage all PACs, DPACs and parents to initiate discussion in their school communities – including teachers, support

One of the most notorious roads in the province raised more eyebrows Sunday. Members of the RCMP’s North and Central Okanagan Traffic Services conducted a traffic stop on Westside Road near the Vernon end Sunday, between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. During this early morning road check of a road consistently ranked as one of the worst in B.C., officers recovered stolen property, dealt with three impaired drivers, several prohibited drivers, drugs and other violations. “The public is reminded that even at early times of the day, the police are actively searching for those

Altercation reveals taser roger knox Morning Star Staff

A reported disturbance at Lake City Casino Friday ended with an arrest later on in downtown Vernon. RCMP officers were dispatched to the casino at 11:20 p.m. following a report of a patron with a weapon. “Our officers attended and learned there was a minor altercation with a couple of people there,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “The male suspect who was seen with the weapon left the area before police arrived.”

Witnesses told the officers that the suspect was headed to a bar downtown, so police went to the area and located a vehicle believed associated to the suspect. “A few minutes later, the 32-year-old suspect returned to the car where he was arrested for possession of a weapon,” said Molendyk, adding that a taser was located on the ground next to a wheel of his vehicle. There is no indication, said Molendyk, that the taser was used in the alleged altercation at the casino. The Vernon man has since been released on a promise to appear in court.

Vehicle break-ins investigated roger knox Morning Star Staff

Vernon RCMP have a warning for Middleton Mountain residents. Take valuables out of your vehicles as police are dealing with a rash of theft from vehicles and mischief to vehicles complaints. Since Aug. 11, there have been 30 such complaints throughout Middleton Mountain. “We are asking people to be vigilant,” said Vernon RCMP

spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “Take your valuables out of your car. If you see any suspicious activity or suspicious persons, report it.” In some cases, vehicle doors were left unlocked and thieves helped themselves to items such as wallets, briefcases and laptops. In a number of other cases, vehicles suffered some damage as thieves tried to get into the vehicle. On the night of Aug. 11, the night of a reported fire to grass

and a children’s play shed in the 800 block of Mt. Bulman Place, officers were investigating several thefts from vehicles prior to the report of the fire. “Anyone who might have seen something that night or knows anything about any of these thefts is asked to call the Vernon RCMP,” said Molendyk. Information can be left for Const. Stephanie Bowhey at 250-545-7171, or e-mail her at stephanie.bowhey@rcmp-grc. gc.ca.

Shortly before 11:15 a.m., the driver of the truck, or a passerby, noticed that his load of recycled cardboard was on fire. “The driver smartly pulled over to an open area, the parking lot at Seaton Secondary School, and dropped the load out,” said Vernon Fire Rescue Services deputy fire chief Jack Blair. Fire crews arrived quickly and put out the fire. Other than a large mess to clean up, there was no loss or fire damage to the truck. Blair said the cause of the fire is unknown.

RCMP investigate shots roger knox Morning Star Staff

Police have a good idea what led to shots being fired in Vernon’s Polson Park Aug. 12. What that idea is, however, remains with police as the case is still being investigated. “Police are not releasing that information at this point,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Gord Molendyk Molendyk. “It is very much evidentiary at this point.” What is known is that police received numerous reports of shots fired in the park at around 8 a.m. A subsequent investigation resulted in a

Vernon man being arrested near the park later that morning, and three other suspects – two men from Vernon and Surrey and a woman from Toronto – were arrested without incident just before noon in a car in Kelowna. The four were taken into custody, then later released without charges being laid. It is believed by RCMP that the four know each other. The four, said Molendyk, are associated to a Vernon motel and the facility has been searched several times since the incident. Molendyk said a weapon was recovered during one of the searches, though he did not say what type of weapon. The exact number of shots fired that morning has not been determined as police continue to talk to witnesses. Nobody was hurt in the incident.

Drug lab suspects released RCMP task force and clandestine lab team showed up mid-afternoon for a report of a possible drug lab. “Items located inside were consistent with a (suspected meth) drug lab,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “There’s evidence of a drug lab is all the officers have.

Cosens Bay Road meeting set Morning Star Staff

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure invites people to attend an open house to provide feedback about proposed boundary changes to Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park in the North Okanagan. The open house takes place Wednesday, Aug. 27, 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Vernon/O’Keefe Salon room at the Prestige Hotel. The ministry is applying to B.C. Parks to adjust the boundary of the park to exclude a 30-metre-wide right-ofway where Cosens Bay Road crosses the park.

This adjustment will ensure both park and road users will have safe and reliable access to the park and surrounding area. Information on the application will be available at the open house. Project staff will

be on hand to provide information, answer questions, and collect feedback. For those unable to attend, there will be further opportunities to provide feedback online later this year. Proposals to amend

the boundaries of provincial parks are reviewed under the Provincial Protected Area Boundar y Adjustment Policy, Process and Guidelines, which can be found at www.env.gov.bc.ca/ bcparks/PBAProcess/. Family Owned & Operated Offers valid ‘til August 26, 2014

What we know about spill

oday I’ll attempt to cut through the speculation and fear-mongering that have swirled around the Mount Polley mine dam breach and tell you what’s really known. As Black Press and our local publication the Williams Lake Tribune reported before and after the incident, the mine reopened in 2005 after a four-year shutdown and was expanding its operation, including the tailings pond. Rising metal prices helped put 380 unionized Tom Fletcher employees plus management back to work. Most are now working on rebuilding the tailings dam and cleaning up the spill site. Imperial Metals applied earlier this summer for an increase in water discharge, and was waiting for B.C. government approval at the time of the Aug. 4 dam breach. This was to be the second amendment to a water release permit issued when the mine started up in 1997. It has had a surplus of water due to rain and snow accumulation since it opened (under an NDP government, for those who want to turn everything into a political corruption story). The reason water release has been allowed is that in the absence of acid-producing rock, metal contamination of water is minimized. Imperial Metals’ routine tests with rainbow trout in undiluted tailings pond water have now been confirmed by environment ministry results, and water and fish from all but the immediate spill area have been cleared for human consumption. For an example of acid mine drainage, look up the Britannia Mine Museum, now a reclaimed national historic site with a water treatment plant built to function for hundreds of years. Before that, acid-produced toxic metal pollution drained from the abandoned mine into Howe Sound for decades.

Early tests at Mount Polley indicate that this sort of long-term water remediation may not be required. The initial pulse of suspended sediment didn’t last long enough to affect fish in most of Quesnel Lake, much less the Fraser River system. Sediment tests show elevated iron and copper, with “leachability” results to come. Containment and removal will have to be undertaken. On May 24 of this year, Mount Polley received the first high water warning in its history. This was not a “breach,” contrary to some reports. The latest water permit application and work to raise the dam took place after that. It’s not difficult to deduce from aerial photos what was happening as mine management found ways to extend operation, including an underground phase. The pond was filling up with pulverized rock, reducing its capacity to hold water. Most of the accumulation is still there for all to see, as is the cross-section of the dam so abruptly exposed in the wee hours of Aug. 4. It may be months before inspectors and geotechnical engineers can determine the cause of the breach, which occurred with the water level 2.5 metres below the top of the dam, well within permit specifications. Either the design of the earthworks was not adequate, or it was not adequately followed. TV crews have packed up and left, after sucking out the initial drama and retailing every sensational claim they could find. Tourism operators are pleading with people not to turn their backs on the region after that influx of visitors. Professional environmentalists are now exploiting Mount Polley as part of their campaign to de-industrialize B.C. A key propaganda tool is a single picture of a salmon with skin removed from part of its dorsal region. No such fish has been produced, and a single rainbow trout collected the day of the spill is the only confirmed aquatic casualty. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Anyone in doubt of the need to finish four-laning our national highway from Kamloops to the Alberta border would likely have become a believer if they’d been driving it this month. To say traffic was slow on the long weekend would be an understatement. At worst, it was like the backto-back, snails pace one expects to encounter on the TransCanada Highway near Abbotsford following a fender bender. This, however, is what travellers encountered in the intense heat of Monday, Aug. 1, at different spots and over long distances along the Kamloops to Alberta border stretch of the highway. No doubt, many of our visitors travelling the TCH over the past couple weekends were questioning whether or not the incremental speed limit increases along the highway provided any meaningful benefit. In 2012, B.C. Premier Christy Clark said the province is prepared to spend $650 million over 10 years on projects that will help meet the long-term goal of four-laning the TCH to the Alberta border. The replacement of the Malakwa Bridge near Sicamous is one of those projects. It is expected to begin this month, and be finished by 2015. For this project alone, the province is committing $22 million, while the federal government is contributing another $13 million. While the province’s share of this project amounts to about 3.4 per cent of the $650 million commitment, one can see how four-laning the TCH as proposed will be a costly endeavour. However, it’s certainly worthwhile, as it will, ideally, help cut down on those ridiculous summer line-ups that hinder trade and tourism and, more important, reduce the potential for accidents and save lives. ---Eagle Valley News

Four-legged residents deserve better

ravo to T. Wilson for their letter to the editor. So many of the regular dog walkers at Marshall Field are very upset about the changes in the rules and regulations for walking dogs and would like to see the decision to make it leash-only revoked. To relegate the dogs to a leash-only policy in the rough cut area along the creek is absurd to say the least. The area is not well maintained and small dogs in particular find it extremely unpleasant to walk there. If it is indeed a dog walking park, could we at least assume that the weeds, not grass, will be cut on a regular basis and the path widened so two people can walk beside each other instead of in tandem? The way it is now, there is no way that you can throw a ball or a Frisbee, particularly because of the condition of the area and more importantly, because the dogs are supposed to be on-leash. I understand that there are some irresponsible dog owners but there are far more who not only exercise their dogs, but themselves by taking these canine friends for their daily constitutional. It seems totally unfair to penalize responsible dog

a response This is in response to T. Wilson's letter titled ‘Dogs and their owners deserve better.’ I agree with the letter writer that not all dog owners should be painted with the same brush and that there are some very responsible dog owners out there. The problem is that there are just as many bad/lazy dog owners out there and there is no way to distinguish them. You talk about dog owners paying taxes and that their tax dollars should be taken into consideration when determining where off-leash dogs can walk. What about the rights of taxpayers who don’t have dogs? We bought a house on Heritage Drive with a regular city park running right behind our back fence. Approximately 20 metres beyond that is a dog park. Every day, morning and night, there are off-leash dogs running around the regular park. They have ruined our fence by forcing their way into the yard to chase our 17-year-old cat. When we go into the park it is littered with dog feces. I see people watch their dogs go number two right behind our fence and just walk away without picking it up. A huge part of the reason we chose

owners for the misbehaviour of one dog. We have been walking dogs in this park for years and I have never had a problem or seen one with dogs fighting or dogs being aggressive towards humans. Dogs tend to be more aggressive when on a leash.

to purchase this house was due to the green space behind our house. What about my tax dollars? What about the money we spent on our house? You need to realize there are taxpayers out there that don’t like dogs, or want random unleashed dogs running around their yards, or anywhere else for that matter. When I have asked people why they choose not to use the dog park they say they don’t want their dog to get dirty and that the soft green grass feels nice on their dog’s paws. These reasons aren’t good enough when there is a dog park literally feet away. s. soglo laws needed How are we going to deal with battery-operated motor scooters? Are there laws? Right now I walk and I drive and I always see someone driving a battery-operated motor scooter, not only on the sidewalk but most recently on our roads. I have driven behind persons on more than one of these vehicles, some all decked out with stickers and flags. I get it. They want to be mobile. But. They are driving on our/ their roads. We are sharing the road.

My experience is that because they are on their scooter they believe they have the rightaway. And I have to watch. There are no signal lights. I pay for my insurance. I am covered. I have a valid driver's licence and if I make a mistake I pay. I can truly understand the freedom they want. I have no problem with that. I believe we must address this sooner rather than later. The rules – what are they? I have had people that just walk tell me that they are nasty on sidewalks too! Now the scary thing. I am a Baby Boomer. There are many of us. If we do not deal with this upcoming issue, what's next? What happens when we must all surrender our drivers licences for one reason or another? Do we just purchase motor scooters? Do we drive roads all over/ pay no insurance/ require no driver's licence? Am I missing something here? lynda Torvik don'T judge To the 15+ people I walked by before entering your building with the gas scare: You know I get it. The way I look and how I carry

The ones who are well socialized through their walks in the park are not usually of that ilk. Dog owners have chosen to have them as pets and they become a very integral part of the family unit. They deserve to be treated kindly and provided with a good quality of life as are other family members. Exercise and socialization are important facets of promoting good behaviour for all. The ball diamonds and tennis courts are fenced so the dogs can't get into these areas anyway and most of the dog owners are aware that the dogs are not supposed to be on the soccer fields and respect that aspect of the rules. If there is any doubt that dog owners are picking up the dog droppings, take a look in the garbage cans. it is a wonderful service to have bags available but if indeed we are to be only in the rough cut area, it would be handy to have some receptacles along those pathways. I think it is time for a public forum on this situation. There are always two sides to every problem but input from both sides is essential. darlene Hainer, Carol Taylor, grace digness

myself is offsetting and unapproachable to some. I have a bushy beard, tattoos, I still listen to rap music from when I was in high school and wear my hat backwards. Maybe I should of asked what was going on, but in my defence I was up since 4:15 a.m. with my youngest boy, in a rush and figured it was some sort of protest. I might of seemed like a worker there to fix the problem but I was carrying papers not tools. I got past the second floor in the stairwell before anyone said anything. I overheard on my way out someone say "maybe we should put a sign up." How about you warn the person walking by a few feet from where you stand. It only would take a few words. I may not look like a person you go to for help but I'll bet I'm one of the first to offer help regardless of the situation. I have a family at home, two amazing boys and their beautiful mother. I'm a business owner, a son, a brother, a cousin, an uncle, a nephew, a friend, and most importantly a dad. I'm the new wave of responsible adult even though I don't traditionally look the part. So how about a head's up next time please.

And to the lady who did come into the building after me, my family and I thank you. Although I may have not been in any real danger, your caring is appreciated. a. Chernenkov

Get on up for Riot on the Roof Morning Star Staff

It’s the party on the rooftop that no one under 25 wants to miss. All are welcome to the Vernon Public Art Gallery’s sixth annual Riot on the Roof, which takes place on top of the city parkade Saturday at 7 p.m. Gallery youth ambassadors Kevin Robertson and Nikita Gush are the organizers of this year’s sixth annual event and together have brought their creative ideas and hard work to produce what is being called “a spectacular event.” A night of alternative art aimed at engaging young people aged 16 to 25, this year’s Riot will feature two stages of live music, graffiti artists, installation art, live painting, chalk art, spoken word poetry, break dancing, and much more. “Riot on the Roof carves out a much needed space for youth to express and expose themselves to affordable and diverse art forms in Vernon,” said VPAG executive director Dauna Kennedy Grant. The gallery has already offered up a few participatory events leading up to the Riot with its inaugural Camera Phone Photography Contest and its Take Part in Street Art, which took place Friday at the Avenue Market. “Every year Riot on the Roof changes and develops, offering new and exciting ways to showcase local talent and inspire youth to get involved with art in our community. Last year, Riot on the Roof was enjoyed by upwards of 600 people and I look forward to seeing a great turnout again this year,” said Kennedy Grant.

Artist, biologist seek sounds Australian duo are in Vernon to create soundscape as part of Caetani/Allan Brooks residency Morning Star Staff

The public is invited to participate in a unique collaboration between art and science. Australian residents Anna Glynn and Peter Dalmazzo are in Vernon to participate in the Fresh! AiR artist residency program at the Caetani Cultural Centre. Held in partnership with the Allan Brooks Nature Centre, Glynn is an artist while Dalmazzo is the first biologist in residence to be a part of the program. The two arrived at the Caetani centre Aug. 5 from Australia to work on their newest project entitled Okanagan Valley Soundscape. “This unique interdisciplinary project will employ a combination of art and science to capture the sounds of the Okanagan Valley,” said Susan Brandoli,

The

manager and residency coordinator at the Caetani Cultural Centre. “Dalmazzo will lead the science side by producing a catalogue of sounds and (Glynn) will showcase the art by creating a soundscape.” Both are collecting sounds throughout the North Okanagan environment, above and below water, terrestrial and aquatic, in a variety of ecotypes, forests and grasslands, in nature and human environments. To make the most of their residency, Glynn and Dalmazzo are asking for input from the public. “We would like to know the local places that you respond to – the places that you love and react to, whether it is for the beauty, the smell, the sound – the places that you have an emotional response to. We will make sound recordings at these locations to include in our project” said Glynn. For more information or to share your favourite Okanagan places and sounds, e-mail anna@annaglynn.com or call 250-306-7464. Visit www.caetani.ca for more information about the Fresh! AiR program and the Glynn/Dalmazzo collaboration.

An Armstrong student’s appreciation for school buses has led to a career and a scholarship. Carson Tucker, a Pleasant Valley Secondary 2014 graduate, was awarded the Association of School Transportation Services of B.C. scholarship. The $7,000 award will go towards the four-year heavy duty/commercial transport mechanic training course. “Most of my time in the public school system, I have taken the bus almost every day to get to school. I live 20 minutes from Armstrong and my Carson Tucker parents both work in a different area,” he said. “Without the bus system I would never had made it to school to get my education to do what I am doing now as a heavy duty mechanic student.” Tucker is a good example of how the dual-credit program works for high school students. The program allows students to do the courses required for graduation while starting training in their chosen trade. Tucker is currently taking the heavy duty mechanic course at Thompson Rivers University, which runs February through September 2014. “I knew ever since elementary school that I wanted to get into mechanics,” said Tucker. “Even before that I would go with my dad to work logging with my grandpa. I loved operating machines and watching them work on them. High school is where I realized I could actually do it. I took classes that would allow me to pursue this career: math, English and one of my favourite classes, automotive tech.” Tucker’s auto teacher told him about the dual credit program. “I was going to take the automotive course I was interested in. But I asked my teachers if

Carson Tucker has been awarded a scholarship from the Association of School Transportation Services of B.C. to go towards his heavy duty/commercial transport mechanic training. there was a heavy duty program. Originally there wasn’t one for my district but they got me in. I love this course because there is so much variety in what you work on and where you can work,” said Tucker. “I think it’s awesome that our school has programs like automotive, metal work, wood work, art and dance. I know lots of schools that don’t have them. They really help students realize what they like and enjoy in school. It also opens doors for trade students. The dual credit programs are awesome and I’m really thankful that we have them. There always have been opportunities for students in sciences, etc., but now

there are programs for students in trades.” North Okanagan-Shuswap School District career coordinator Mark Marino is extremely happy for Tucker, saying he is well deserving of this exclusive award. “He is a very deserving winner and I’m very excited for him. It’s a real honour to win this scholarship. I have no doubt that Carson will have great success in the future on his chosen route to becoming a Red Seal heavy duty/commercial transport mechanic,” he said. Tucker will continue his studies with a combination of courses at Thompson Rivers University and apprenticeships.

DISTRICT OF COLDSTREAM NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

12402 Coldstream Creek Road; Lot 1, Section 15, Township 9, Plan KAP8843 (as shown in bold outline and shaded on the map below).

Purpose:

To amend the Zoning Bylaw by rezoning the subject property from Residential Two Family Zone (R.2) to Residential Bed & Breakfast (R.B.B.). Permitted uses in the Residential Bed & Breakfast (R.B.B.) zone include Bed and Breakfast, Single Family Dwellings, Community Care Facilities, Home Occupations, Boarding Houses and Accessory Residential.

Growing a bumper crop

his is the time of the year when I get overwhelmed with harvesting and I pray for an early frost to kill everything in the garden. I know it won’t happen but I can hope. It is sure nice, however, durJocelyne Sewell ing winter to go in your freezer to get the fruits of your labour. Also you know what you are eating has not been sprayed with pesticides and is not full of preservatives and all different names that I cannot even pronounce in English or in French. So back to the garden I go. Someone phoned me about their Scarlet Runner beans not producing. It seems that these beans don’t like the hot summer. I always had this experience with them. Unlike other beans, they can go in the ground earlier in the spring. The blossoms sure attract the hummingbirds. I watched the other day as one went from one flower to the other for more than 10 minutes. Every little while, it would sit on the fence

wire and then go back to the flowers. At the moment, I have lots of blooms and I can see a lot of little beans forming. I had a few beans earlier but all the blossoms dropped during July. From the look of it now, I should get a good crop. My trellises are eight feet or just about three metres and they are still growing over. I will need a ladder for the harvest. Another question I received was about blossom-end rot in tomatoes. This year as I transplanted every tomato plant, I added organic fertilizer to the hole with some crushed egg shells for calcium and Epsom salt, which is supposed to help prevent blossom-end rot. I still ended up with some tomatoes having this condition. The ones most affected were my paste tomatoes but some of the other varieties also got it. Now they are all coming up good except for the one in the container which I blame on the uneven watering as this plant dries faster than the ones in the ground. This condition happens because of a lack of calcium in the soil or the plant cannot get the calcium from the ground because of stress. I read somewhere on the internet that to crush a few Tums and carefully

work them into the soil around the plants might serve as a quick solution to BER. Uneven watering is also a cause of it. The tomatoes are still edible if the blossom-end rot did not spread above the top half of the tomatoes. I don’t use these for canning; I only use them fresh for salads. Tomatoes are more prone to fungus diseases if you water them at night and the leaves stay wet. I try to water just on the soil. I also cut the bottom leaves and mulch with grass clippings or whatever I have. From chiff.com I received the following: Don’t remove leaves or branches from mature plants with fruits - Some people think that tomatoes need direct sunlight to ripen. This is untrue. Pruning tomato plants prior to fruiting is fine, but never remove foliage from a mature plant. This exposes fruit to direct sun and can lead to sunscald, a yellowing of the side exposed to the sun. The same holds true for green fruit you are ripening inside. Do not put them on a sunny windowsill. Instead put them in a paper bag and place them out of direct light. P.S. Don’t forget to look under the large leaves of zucchini plants. I just found a monster.

Local businesses and individuals have also made Music in the Park viable. “It’s been almost 100 per cent covered by donation.”

esigned specifically for a narrow lot, this two-storey, three-bedroom family home boasts a glassrailed balcony outside the master suite, as well as three covered patios accessible from the main floor. The home has three entries, each protected by a covered patio. At the front, the entry leads into the kitchen, while another entry at the back leads into the great room. The third entry opens into a corridor, with a coat closet nearby. The great room, with six large windows, will receive plenty of natural light, and features a wood-burning stove. The dining room, located in a bayed-out area, will also be full of light, thanks to windows on three sides. The kitchen is separated from the rest of the great-room area by an island with a three-seat eating bar. An L-shaped counter configuration will save steps for the cook, who will also appreciate the roomy pantry. French doors open to the large patio that overlooks the front garden, making al fresco meals a breeze during the warmer months. Also on the main floor is a two-piece powder room, as well as the laundry room. Upstairs, the master suite occupies a dormer, so the ceiling slopes in two directions. The en-suite includes an oval soaker tub with its own window, as well as double basins and a glassed-in shower stall. The walk-in closet will have plenty of room for

Crowd savours Okanagan flavours Event helps VJHF raise $2,100+ Morning Star Staff

A mouth-watering event recently paired up with the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation to serve up support for local health care. The first annual Savour the Okanagan wine and culinary event raised $2,190 towards the VJH’s Tower of Care Campaign, Phase II. Presented by the Prestige Hotels & Resorts (Vernon) and Bourbon Street Bar & Grill, the event showcased the Okanagan’s finest wines, beer and spirits, as well as locally sourced, organic food pairings. “We were excited to feature more than 20 wineries, beer, spirits and cider from all over the Okanagan,” said Lisa Grant, convention and sales manager for The Prestige. Bourbon Street Bar And Grill’s Chef Inna Turchin prepared Okanagan inspired hors d’oeuvres and canapés, showcasing delectable local ingredients. A silent auction was held with items donated from participating wineries, the Prestige and Bourbon Street, including a cooking class for eight with Chef Inna, a two-night stay at the Prestige Oceanfront Resort in Sooke, and wine-themed gift baskets. Local musician Steve Todd rounded out the festivities, performing many crowdpleasing favorites. “We are very fortunate to have such tremendous community support,” said Sue Beaudry, director of development for the Foundation. “VJH Foundation would like to thank the generosity of The Prestige and Bourbon Street Bar and Grill for taking the initia-

Musician Steve Todd added just the right atmosphere to a fun, festive evening.” Funds raised for the Tower of Care campaign will help furnish and equip the sixth and seventh floors of

Polson Tower. The $2.5 million campaign will add 60 new state-of-the-art inpatient care beds and vital medical equipment to VJH. “I am pleased that nine months into this campaign, with donations and multiyear pledges, Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation has raised more than $1.5 million of its commitment,” said Beaudry. This project will

bring the best possible patient care and family support to VJH. Sixty new beds will help alleviate current overcapacity issues while transitioning to single and double patient rooms. It will not only help with better infection control that leads to faster recovery times, but will allow for more privacy, room for medical equipment, and space for family visits.

NET nabs 10th Cup easy way

Longworth tops Brown for golf title Morning Star Staff

Courvas forfeits final Morning Star Staff

North Enderby Timber won their 10th Gibson Cup without taking the field Saturday night at MacDonald Park. North Okanagan Soccer League-leading Courvas of Salmon Arm forfeited, saying they couldn’t field a team. To give the second-place Timber a run, Monashee FC, 4-1 losers to NET in last week’s semifinals, played a make-shift final that lacked enthusiasm from both teams in a 1-1 draw. “We played aggregate so we had a three-goal cushion heading into Saturday,” said NET sniper Brent Poulsen.

Kemper jumpstarts Chick Kickers Continued from A24

Cara Van Tol just missed the net a couple times and Melinda Barrajon also had several chances for Sistas. The Chick Kickers only had eight players and got goals from Monica Holubowksi and Carla Main. Keeper Wendy Nadeau was stellar for the Chicks. In Friday night action, the Chick Kickers mustered 10 players and iced the Goplen Drillers 4-1 at Marshall Field #2. Jen Kemper delivered a scorching free kick early which the Driller keeper bobbled, allowing Mel Jacobs to provide the swift finish. The game settled into a fairly consistent and well played match by both teams for the remainder of the half. Down to nine players in the second half, the Chicks seemed to be holding the Drillers off until a series of small errors and misjudgments ended in a through ball that one of the quicker Driller strikers buried from in tight. The goal definitely bolstered the Drillers, but the Kickers’ back four, anchored by Carmen Kinniburgh, was marvellous, stopping at least two fastbreaks by the Drillers.

Michelle Johnson and Jen Kemper in the Kickers’ midfield, along with Tania Sladen and Kelly Challen on the wings, provided solid and much needed help. Johnson nailed two signature cornerthat dropped in a long arc about two or three feet before the far-end post, within the six-yard box, and Tania Sladen was there twice for the perfectly-timed finishes Game MVP Kemper fed Jacobs a powerful cross for the final goal. Kemper had a beautiful game, with at least two back-heel passes and seemingly effortless skilled touches all night. Robyn Sherwood and Wendy Magnus played their hearts out at central fullback in support of Crystal Bergman. VQA ambushed the host Salmon Arm Kaos 4-1 in other Friday night play. Player of the game Harmony Crockett was on fire, pulling the hat trick and issuing several dangerous crosses. Crockett jumpstarted the offencewith a sweet high, lofting shot from the far right line after an amazing run from centre. Crockett challenged the keeper for the second goal. Jane Higgins rang up a dynamite crack from far out up and over the keeper’s head, for the VQA third goal.

Carla Gibson set up Crockett for the sweet hatty snipe. Sue Barss was brilliant on left wing before relieving Karen Benn in net for the final half. Barss created a number of attempts on goal by being first to the ball. Bold athletics by midfielders Sheila Westwell and Cheryl Roddis led to some glorious opportunities and runs at the net. Forward Ute Kintzel refused to give up the ball and was a force both ways. Shelly Johnston, Pat Nielsen, Tania Willett and Beth Lazar also enjoyed solid showings at the back. Dr. Lee Dental Clinic/Squires Four Pub shut down Seasons in the Okanagan Sistas 3-0 Friday night. Jill Rintoul, Dana Reid and Currie handled the 10-lady Squires’ attack. Reid struck first with a bullet shot from the left wing at a hard angle. Sistas played a great passing game and had several offensive chances with Neudorf and returning Kim Sylvester making some great rushes. Defensively, the Sistas constantly pressured Dr. Lee offence to cough up the ball, and when they broke through, keeper Suzyn August made numerous great saves.

Champness wins Morning Star Staff

Despite the fire ban that has blanketed the Okanagan this summer, Nathan Champness has been on fire. The Vernon product won his seventh event of the summer Sunday afternoon at the 32nd Pushor Mitchell Kelowna Apple Triathlon. He also has three other podium finishes. “I had an excellent swim, leading my heat out of the water, I took advantage of the four repeats of the base of Knox Mountain to hammer out a lead on the bike,” said Champness. Champness’s blistering time of two hours, one minute and 25 seconds was tops in the Olympic group of 338 athletes and thinks that familiarity was a benefactor. “The event was well-run as always. I’ve done it five years in a row and the organizers consistently do a great job of managing the large numbers of athletes,” said Champness. The Vernon Masters Swim Club finished third in the Olympic Team Relay event. They swam to a 2:39.00, just ahead of the Xray Sandwich team who crossed the finish line in 2:52.03, good enough for sixth. Coldstream’s Peter Byrnes finished 24th in 1:09.45 during the sprint event.

Tommy Zafares 28, of California, a retired Olympic trials swimmer, won the gold medal after crossing the finish line in 54:24. “The course was great and really suits me,” said Zafares. “I knew there was lots of fast runners so I swam and biked as hard as I could to open up a gap on the run. There was lots of give and take but we worked well together in the pack.” Paula Findlay won the silver medal at the women’s Elite Sprint PATCO Premium Cup Race in 59 minutes 52 seconds.

Okanagan Masters and Vernon Masters Swim Clubs showed their strength in the recent 15th FINA World Masters Championships in Montreal. No less than eight of the 10 swimmers participating placed within the first 10 in a number of events. Gold medals were won by Conny Stamhuis (80-84) in the 50m breaststroke and Betty Brussel (90-94) in the 400m freestyle. Brussel also brought home silver medals in the 100 and 200 breaststroke and 200 freestyle. Stamhuis added to her medal count by taking fourth in the 100 back and fifth in the 50 and 200 back, and 50 free. Kelowna’s Carmelle Guidi-Swan (40-44) narrowly missed her silver in the 200m fly by two tenths of a second, placing third in both the 100 and 200 fly and breaking the B.C. record in both instances. Bronze medals were also earned by Vernon’s Hella Versfeld (60-64) in the 100 back, and Mike Stamhuis (60-64) in the 200 back and 200 freestyle. Canadian records were broken by Stamhuis in the 800 free (fourth) and Hella Versfeld in the 400 free (sixth). Other swimmers who placed within the top-10 within their age groups were Ross Carviel (80-84), Mira Grypink (80-84) and Désirée Henke (25-29). Brent Hobbs (45-49) and Nick Rabinovitch (40-44), both just missed out on a 10th place. FINA officially created the Masters movement about 25 years ago, the first edition being held in 1986 in Tokyo, Japan. The second and third editions of the championships included swimming events only. But since 1990 it incorporates FINA’s five disciplines: Swimming, syncro swimming, diving, open water swimming and water polo. Participation at FINA World Masters is obtained by meeting FINA standard qualifying time for events.

Community recognizes heritage properties jackie pearase

Special to The Morning Star

A recent celebration of local history included food, friends, stories and a special surprise. The Kingfisher/Mabel Lake/Hupel History Project hosted a potluck dinner to update the community on the history book’s progress. The finished product will include stories and interviews from past and present area residents and histories on the many events, activities and places of the Kingfisher, Mabel Lake and Hupel area. The steering committee displayed the material already collected for the project, including family histories, photos, newspaper clippings and videos/DVDs, and encouraged more people to become involved. The stories flowed nicely after a delicious potluck dinner, providing more fodder for the book and acting as a catalyst for more people to write out their own histories. The evening also included a slide show of photos of old buildings in the area

put together and presented by long-time resident Bill Bigney. In keeping with the historical theme, the Enderby and District Heritage Commission presented two heritage plaques. The commission, with support from Area F director Jackie Pearase, designated as heritage buildings the Kingfisher Hall and the Dale house, located at 1962 Mabel Lake Rd. Jade Lawrence accepted the plaque for the hall on behalf on the Kingfisher Community Society and a surprised Robert Dale received his plaque – he and his wife Marion recently moved to Enderby, turning over possession to their son, Wade and wife Barb Bannister. “Wade will have to find a place to put the plaque because he lives there now,” laughed Robert Dale. “The change of ownership in the Dale house underlines the importance of people taking the time to record their local history,” noted steering committee

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder LISTEN CLOSELY TO THEIR BIDDING Jeff Lynne, who has had a stellar musical career, in particular with the Electric Light Orchestra and the Traveling Wilburys, and has gone on to become a major record producer, said, “I think from the age of 13, I really wanted to be a producer, and I’ve always thought that the producer was the top of the tree.” Maybe you learned bridge when you were 13; but at whatever age you started playing, the number 13 is critical. Each suit has 13 cards and each hand starts with 13 cards. East forgot that in this deal. South was in four hearts after the given auction. West led the club ace. When

East signaled with the nine (starting a high-low with his doubleton), West cashed the club king and gave his partner a club ruff. What should East have done now? The auction was natural. North’s two-no-trump rebid was game-invitational. South’s three-heart bid indicated at least 5-5 in the majors. North naturally raised to four hearts. (Three no-trump fails if the defenders attack diamonds early in the play.) At trick four, East tried to cash the diamond ace to set the contract. However, South trumped and crossruffed home. East should have analyzed the auction and play. South showed at least 10 cards in the majors. He also

followed to three rounds of clubs. So South had to be void of diamonds. East should have put the diamond ace back into his hand and instead led a trump. Then the contract would have failed, South being victim to the bad spade break. Never stop counting.

These machines are new with 2 year labour and 15 year parts warranty. All machines come cabinet ready. Includes hard cover case!

Q: A:

What is self-love?

As Debbie Ford notes, “Loving ourselves means loving all of who we are – the brilliant and the beautiful, the flawed and the foolish, the selfless and self-absorbed, the courageous and the fearful. It means loving, honouring, and accepting the totality of our humanity. It means cherishing ourselves and appreciating our individuality and our uniqueness.” What a gift we give to the world when we love ourselves. We model and teach others how to love themselves. Wouldn’t this world be a wonderful place if we all loved and cherished ourselves! It’s not your job to like me...it’s MINE! ~Byron Katie

Gerry M. Laarakker,

For most people, buying a home is most likely the largest single purchase they will ever do in their life. Having another opinion is always a good idea; & if that opinion is a professional opinion from someone who is trained in all aspects of home inspections & has the credentials to back it up, that would go a long way in giving you, the purchaser, peace of mind knowing what condition the home was in & what repairs may need to be done down the road or immediately. I have seen homes where a friend recommended that the home be purchased & thousands of dollars needed to be spent to repair what the friend missed, & in one case the house had to be demolished. If you had a health issue would you ask a friend’s opinion or would you go to your doctor? Always seek out the advice and opinions of trained professionals, you will feel a lot safer & it could save you money in the long run, & we all like saving money.

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.

We worry, so you don’t have to!

Sunscreen Safety Tips

• Choose a high SPF. Protect your health by using a broadspectrum sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF)of at least 15. The sunscreen should also say "broad-spectrum" on the label, to screen out most of the UVA and UVB rays. • Look for "water resistant". Look for claims on the label that the product stays on better in water ("water resistant", "very water resistant"). • Read application instructions. For best results, be sure to follow the instructions on the product label. • Use lots of sunscreen. Use the recommended amount of sunscreen. • Apply it early. Apply sunscreen 20 minutes before you go outside; reapply 20 minutes after going outside and at least every 2 hours after that. Use a generous amount. Cover exposed areas generously, including ears, nose, the tops of feet and backs of knees. • Reapply often. Reapply sunscreen often to get the best possible protection especially if you are swimming or sweating heavily. • Protect yourself. Sunscreen and insect repellents can be used safely together. Apply the sunscreen first, then the insect repellent. • Sunscreens and babies. Do not put sunscreen on babies less than 6 months of age. Keep them out of the sun and heat as their skin and bodies are much more sensitive than an adult’s. • Test for an allergic reaction. Before using any tanning product on you or your child check for an allergic reaction, especially if you have sensitive skin. Apply it to a small patch of skin on the inner forearm for several days in a row. If the skin turns red or otherwise reacts, change products. Remedy’sRx pharmacy has a great selection of Suncreens for both Children and Adults. The pharmacist can also help with the selection of a product if help is needed. Sterling Centre

Q: A:

We are looking for a house and want to know what we should be doing, find the mortgage or the house first?

When you’re house hunting, it’s a great idea to know the amount of mortgage you qualify for, your monthly payments, and that your interest rate will be held for a specified period of time i.e. 120 days. This way you can shop within your price range, you don’t have to worry about rates rising, and both realtors and sellers will know you are a serious buyer. Be realistic in what you can afford and make sure the mortgage amount is comfortable for you. It is best to keep in mind that not all pre-approvals are the same, and that a pre-approval is not a mortgage approval. Some are just a simple rate guarantee subject to conditions and a later approval. For a full pre-approval you need to submit your application and documentation so the lender can qualify you, and even then you want to have a financing condition in your purchase offer because your property will need to be assessed by your lender. Be sure to not make significant changes after getting the pre-approval i.e. changing jobs, adding debt or missing payments, co-signing another loan, or using your down payment money. E&O/OAC

Q: A:

What is ‘Bluetooth’ & how does it work with hearing aids?

Bluetooth uses a short range (usu. 30 ft) radio frequency that allows different types of devices to communicate directly with each other. Cell phones, TVs, GPS, computers, stereos, MP3 players & now hearing aids, can be made to talk to each other by using Bluetooth. Perhaps the biggest advantage for someone with a hearing loss is that you can keep the hearing aids in your ears & be able to have your cell phone conversations ‘stream’ directly into both ears, wirelessly. Not only will you hear the phone better in noise, you will be able to do it ‘hands-free’. There are other applications for Bluetooth as well. With a Bluetooth transmitter attached to your TV or stereo, your hearing aids can work as a wireless earphone set. This often gives the hearing impaired person more clarity of speech. Given all the action & background noise on today’s TV shows, this can be a distinct advantage when watching your favourite shows. These devices often have a separate volume control as well. That means your family can set the TV volume to a level they are comfortable with, & you will be able to adjust your own volume separately. This might help keep peace in the household!
