SUMMER SAILING

LISA VANDERVELDE/ MORNING STAR

Members of the Vernon Yacht Club make their way across Okanagan Lake. Environment Canada is calling for a high of 19 today and temperatures in the mid-20s on the weekend.

Stats reveal few Cosens Bay Road crashes RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Elected officials are stepping up opposition to a controversial plan for Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park after reviewing traffic statistics.

Figures from ICBC show that between 2004 and 2013, there were three casualty accidents (injuries or fatalities) and 18 property damage incidents on the entire length of Cosens Bay Road.

“The statistics are a clear indication that road safety is not an issue,” said Mike Macnabb, Regional District of North Okanagan director.

The Ministry of Transportation wants to have a 20-metre right-of-way removed from the park so safety and maintenance issues can be addressed.

Mike Macnabb However, the regional district has opposed the plan, saying the right-of-way will negatively impact the park’s ecosystem.

The ICBC figures include the portions of Cosens Bay Road that are in Coldstream and in the park.

TOYOTA

Of the 18 incidents of property damage, the highest was six in 2010, and they aren’t all motor vehicle accidents.

“The statistics include parking lot vandalism,” said Macnabb.

For the three casualty incidents, ICBC reports there was one in 2004, one in 2008 and one in 2011.

“For the most part, people are travelling at the appropriate speed and there’s not many accidents,” said Bob Fleming, RDNO director.

Fleming says a maximum of 200 vehicles a day travel the road during the high-peak summer months.

“No one has arguments with the ministry trying to reduce its maintenance burden but no one is for widening the road and increasing the speed,” he said.

“The curves slow you down. It’s like traffic calming in the city where they narrow roads.”

The ministry states, “Right-of-ways of this size are common for provincially-maintained roadways and will give the ministry sufficient access to allow the ministry and our contractors to carry out safety and maintenance improvements, including ditching or clearing brush from the side of the road and improving sight lines.”

Wind whips up Kalamalka grads A I RogeR Knox

Morning Star Staff

n uninvited guest stole the show at the Kalamalka Secondary Class of 2015 grad picture Thursday afternoon at the Kal Lake Lookout.

The wind.

A strong breeze whipped throughout the ceremony, forcing graduation caps off heads, blowing up the front of graduation gowns, hair into faces and making the 114 grads in the picture pose for a good 10 minutes so the photographers – one official, one media and a number of parents – could get a memorable shot.

“The wind gives the photo some characteristics,” said Logan Ramsey, 18, who will attend Okanagan College next year to “look around to see what I want to do.”

“It’s like this group. There’s a lot of characters in this class. I’m always going to remember this group.”

Added Shael Knight, 17, who will study arts at UBCO in September: “It’s been a good day today except for the wind.”

Asked what he would remember about his five years at Kal, Knight said the band, where he plays tenor sax.

Megan Barss was one of about a dozen or so grads who arrived in a vehicle other than three school buses carrying the class of 2015. She is the emcee for the grad ceremonies, which take place today, and she’ll be performing.

“The wind is disappointing, yes, we’ll probably have our grad flags in front of our faces for the pictures, but it’ll be fine,” smiled Barss, 18, who will attend Toronto’s

Randolph Academy of Performing Arts next year.

“This whole year went by so fast but this grad class is great. Obviously we have our separate groups but, as a whole, we all get along and we’ve all done pretty well.”

Among the first to arrive at the Lookout was Liz Chirkoff, mother of four, there to snap pictures of her daughter, Hannah, her third graduating child.

For Chirkoff, and other parents, the grad photo is the start of an emotional time.

“Graduation is a new chapter that, you know, they’re going to be going on their own, making their own decisions and leaving home,” said Chirkoff.

“But yet, it’s an exciting time to see them being independent and getting on in life.

This is the second or third chapter in their

lives. And there’s no way in the world I would miss this.”

Pickleball play promoted ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

One Armstrong councillor wants to bring pickleball to the city.

Paul Britton said, after reading a letter to the editor in The Morning Star about the fast-growing sport, that pickleball would be perfect for the small single tennis court at Memorial Park.

“It seems an awfully popular sport and I’d like to see something done,” said Britton. “The court at Memorial is too small for tennis. We should make it

“It seems an awfully popular sport.”

— Paul Britton

useable and have more people coming to the park.”

Pickleball is a racquet sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis.

Players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a wiffle ball, over a net.

“We’ve had a lot of requests for it (pickleball) but we don’t have the money to do it,” said Coun.

Ron (Sully) O’Sullivan, who sits on the Armstrong Spallumcheen Parks and Recreation Board. “I know they’ve had the sport in the Hassen Arena.”

Britton suggested using a $13,000 donation from Telus (for having Armstrong residents sign up for fibre optik use) to help resurface the tennis court into a pickleball court, or partner up with one of two pickleball groups in Vernon.

Britton motioned to have Armstrong Spallumcheen Parks and Recreation investigate the costs of resurfacing the tennis court at Memorial Park. His motion was unanimously supported.

Tennis players can use community courts located at Len Wood Middle School.

Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick chats with Craig Broderick, Vernon’s economic development planner.

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Greater Vernon’s business leaders are being told that local governments are working together.

Co-operation was the theme as the mayors of Coldstream and Vernon and the chairperson of the Regional District of North Okanagan spoke to the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce Wednesday.

“We will continue to work with our partners for the betterment of the region and its citizens and businesses,” said Rick Fairbairn, RDNO chairperson, at the event at the Village Green Hotel.

Among the goals of the City of Vernon are to collaborate with other jurisdictions on the proposed twinning of Kal Tire Place, constructing a new museum and art gallery and looking at ways to help the Okanagan Indian Band service land for development.

RDNO has teamed up with the City of Vernon and other communities on the regional growth strategy and specifically identifying areas for industrial development.

“We’re looking at how to increase the supply of employment lands,” said Fairbairn.

All three jurisdictions are part of the consortium that has purchased the abandoned rail line from Kelowna to Coldstream.

“This acquisition is important for the North Okanagan and its economy,” said Fairbairn.

Vernon Mayor Akbal Mund insists that bolstering the economy is important to the city.

“We want to reduce the downtown vacancy rate to less than 10 per cent,” he said, adding that building permit values are up 43 per cent since 2014.

“We’re heading back up. We’re seeing recovery in residential construction.”

In Coldstream, council has focused on promoting industrial land on Ricardo Road and commercial devel-

process,” said Mund.

One issue that didn’t arise is amalgamation and local government structuring which the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce has called for.

“That’s not the only thing we’re dealing with,” said Dan Rogers, chamber manager, when asked why the elected officials weren’t challenged about amalgamation. “We heard about how important collaboration is.”

Bridezilla walks down the aisle

H

aving just celebrated 20 years of wedded bliss, I’ve been thinking about weddings, especially now that we are in what is traditionally the most popular month in which to get hitched.

My own wedding was one I consider perfect, from the food to the music, to all of my loved ones gathered in one place.

Now, with two decades of marriage under my belt, I still believe in the institution but wonder about the wisdom of shelling out thousands of dollars (or hundreds or millions, depending Katherine Mortimer on where you fall on the economic scale) for a one-day event.

When it came to my big day, I wanted it all.

It was a bit tricky because at the time, I was living in Revelstoke and my family was back in Vancouver, where the wedding was to take place.

My mom and I spent hours on the phone, and the fax machine was put into heavy rotation, spitting out potential menus and invitations.

The only mother-daughter bridal experience we enjoyed in person was a weekend home so we could get a few things we needed. We headed to The Bay downtown where I picked out shoes and lipstick. And then it was time for the time-honoured tradition of the gift registry.

In those days, it wasn’t computerized. You were given a print-out that contained everything in the housewares department and then you marked down the item number. I already knew the china pattern I wanted, as I’d picked it out years earlier. But after about 10 minutes of perusing the aisles and marking down numbers, Mom and I looked at each other and agreed that this was a boring way to spend the afternoon, tossed the sheet aside and got ourselves to a bistro where we enjoyed a few glasses of wine.

In the end, people gave us lovely and personal gifts, things we still use today. Family friends who weren’t sure called my mom and asked about china. I’m happy to say that we now have three complete place settings; it doesn’t work for a dinner party, but for our family of three it’s

perfect. And I still love my Petite Fleur pattern.

On the day of the event, I turned into a bit of a bridezilla. I was determined to get my wedding mani-pedi but in those days there weren’t nail salons on every corner so I had made an appointment at a salon on the other side of town, which entailed two bridges and a lot of traffic. When my mother questioned the wisdom of an appointment so far away, I apparently replied, “Don’t I deserve a day of beauty.” I actually have no recollection of uttering those ridiculous words, but my sister is always happy to remind me.

The ceremony was scheduled for 7 p.m., so I had plenty of time. In the end, it was a beautiful event with 50 close friends and family members. I didn’t get married to the Phil Collins song I had picked out when I was in my 20s (cringe) but went for Canon in D by Pachelbel. Yes, it’s a piece that has been played ad nauseum at weddings, but a piece of music I still love. And during the reception, my brother performed a beautiful piece of music he had written especially for us.

We were married by my dad’s best friend, a justice of the Supreme Court who enthusiastically agreed to perform his first wedding.

Besides wondering why two writers weren’t writing their own vows, Ross also questioned the poem we had selected to be read, feeling it was a little hackneyed. I’m glad we kept it because all these years later, when I watch our wedding video on a dusty old VCR, I cringe with embarrassment at hearing the words from Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet.

Because that’s half the fun of a wedding: to look back years later and wonder, “What were we thinking?”

My groom, bless him, went along with everything I wanted. That included not throwing my bouquet and not throwing a garter. I had been to too many weddings where women had ripped the bouquet to shreds in their haste to catch it. Of course, the summer before I was engaged, I had caught a friend’s bouquet so maybe there’s something to it.

And as for June being an auspicious month for a wedding? I wouldn’t know: we were married in May.

The Ministry of Transportation’s argument that motorist safety requires a 20-metre right-of-way along Cosens Bay Road in Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park appears doubtful.

Statistics from the Insurance Corporation of B.C. indicate there were three casualty accidents (injuries or fatalities) on the entire length of the road, both in Coldstream and through the park, between 2004 and 2013.

On top of this, ICBC reports there were 18 incidents of property damage during the same time period.

While the stats don’t provide specific details, it’s likely many of those were vehicles vandalized in the parking lot at the main entrance to the park.

Obviously there may be cases of incidents going unreported to authorities, but it’s becoming obvious that accidents have not been a significant problem in the park.

One can even make the argument that the narrowness of the road and the few corners actually force motorists to slow down and be more vigilant.

So given all of that, one has to wonder why the Ministry of Transportation is adamant that it needs to remove a 20-metre right-ofway from the park to ensure public safety? Why has this become a priority for a government agency that has numerous other demands in the North Okanagan?

Now of course the ministry also argues that it needs the right-of-way so it has the ability to maintain the gravel road. And while nobody is going to question snowplowing or filling potholes, maintenance shouldn’t require transferring jurisdiction of the road from B.C. Parks to the highways department.

In the end, the Ministry of Transportation’s case for removing land for the park, based on unsafe driving conditions, doesn’t hold up when stats are considered.

It’s time for this process to come to an end.

Stickle Road requires a light

he Ministry of Transportation says the amount of traffic turning left from Stickle Road does not warrant putting a traffic light there.

No one turns left from Stickle Road on to Highway 97 because we are taking a chance with our life by turning there.

The cars that do use that road have to wait for so long to be able to merge left on to the highway that they get frustrated from waiting, take a chance to turn and it is not safe. That is why there are fatalities there.

More people would use this intersection if there was a light there and the residents in that area would be able to feel safe when they are entering or exiting their street.

The businesses would also benefit from this light because more people would use their establishments if they were able to turn left onto the highway when leaving.

This traffic light shouldn't even be an issue in 2015.

It should have been installed 10 years ago. End of story, no study needed.

Mary Hennessy

COSENS BAY ROAD Mrs. Klim, your very first sentence is incorrect. The park was established to serve as a nature preserve for people to enjoy all nature has to offer, including rattlesnakes and bull snakes.

Also found in the park are bears, coyotes, marmots, deer (mule and whitetail), the occasional moose, cougar and a number of other species.

How do I know? Because I meet them and photograph them on a daily basis.

As far as going off the road in broad daylight and good road conditions goes, that happens to people who don't know how to drive, don't pay attention or are in too much of a hurry to get to the end of the road. By the way, all three conditions mentioned are traffic offenses, which carry the corresponding penalties.

As far as taking a drive along that road, I did just that and video filmed the trip The video shows one of those situations where I met the honey wagon truck on what you call a blind corner. Neither the truck nor I had to stop to let the other pass.

Now as far as the age of the road (1896) goes, I have no idea if you ever studied history, settlement patterns and such, but what you call a road was at the very best a glorified goat path or dual wagon tracks through the grasslands.

I also notice on my trip that the worst section of the road is the portion that is supposedly maintained by the cabin owners.

Also noteworthy are the obstructing

vehicles at the gate by the end of the road.

That must be a real challenge for those who have difficulties negotiating the park portion of the road, having to do a three or five-point turn to head back to the entrance.

Oh, before I forget, the establishment of the park was preceded by a lot of effort by countless volunteers who were of the opinion that what was desirable was a park instead of rampant development.

That was an effort that we truly appreciated and will continue to do so in the future.

Long live Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park in its present natural state.

Hans-Joerg Mueller WATER ETHICS Water is life. It is not an industrial or economic product. Those are social or cultural values attached to water. They have ethical dimensions.

Because water is life, the goal of water use in the Okanagan should be to ensure the continued health and survival of the Vernon living community, human and non-human, and of its specific climactic cycles, for generations.

One way to do that is to support agriculture that supplies food to local families.

Another is to support agriculture that grows crops that don't make demands on water, such as wheat in the Spallumcheen, or cattails or watercress in our remaining wetlands, or even supporting Syilx grazing on the Commonage.

Since millions of litres of Greater Vernon

water goes into producing apples which are shipped by the truckload for packing in Chelan, Wash., and more millions produce cherries shipped out of the country as luxury products for China, it's pretty clear that contemporary water management strategies consider the industrial use of water to create export products to be more valuable than providing water for Greater Vernon homeowners and farmers supplying the local market to produce their own food. That's hardly ethical.

It's worse when homeowners, who pay taxes which create water infrastructure, clarification and storage, are penalized for using that water, while farms lying outside of Vernon receive it at a discounted agricultural rate.

Harold Rhenisch TAX TALK The provincial government proudly announced the tax paid by the LNG industry would be based on seven per cent applied to profits after adjustments for capital costs.

However, due to an industry lobby, the royalty was subsequently reduced to 3.5 per cent pending an increase in the price of gas.

In Norway, regardless of market conditions, the tax charged petroleum companies is based on the country's 28 per cent standard rate plus an additional 50 per cent of profits for a total of 78 per cent and, apparently, the companies are doing just fine and continue to do business with the country.

By comparison, farms producing beer

and wine in the province, a labour intensive and sustainable industry, are charged 50 to 60 per cent based on the retail price of their products.

I believe most informed people would agree something is amiss.

I know the Alberta taxpayer does and they recently voted accordingly.

Asbestos plan reviewed JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

An investigation is being conducted by WorkSafe B.C. into the Vernon School District, for asbestos management.

But the district insists staff and students are safe from the cancer causing (Health Canada) material.

“Absolutely no child, or teacher or CUPE employee is at risk,” said superintendent Joe Rogers.

WorkSafe regional prevention manager Shawn Mitton confirms that an officer did inspect the district in regards to its asbestos management program.

“A lot of schools have had management programs over the years but as time goes by they didn’t update them,” said Joe Rogers Mitton, as the district needed to identify any potential risk areas, complete an exposure control plan and implement it.

“It’s about managing the risk. You’re dealing with a district-wide issue, it’s not necessarily one location.”

Mitton added that it’s mostly older facilities that will have Adrian Johnson asbestos materials.

Adrian Johnson, acting secretary-treasurer, said many homes and institutional buildings built prior to 1990 were constructed using some asbestos containing materials.

“The older schools in School District 22 are no different,” said Johnson. “The asbestos-containing materials pose no health risk if they are not disturbed through construction or similar activities.”

“We take the health and safety of our students and staff very, very seriously. To mitigate the risk, over the past 25 years the school district has removed much of the asbestos from our schools and put other preventive controls in place. We are working with WorksafeBC to ensure we have the best possible workplace practices to keep our staff and students safe.”

Rogers confirms that any areas that were poten-

tial contaminates were removed and other areas, like crawl spaces, have been taped off.

“They identify if it’s present, then they need to analyze the risk,” said Mitton. “Is it a risk to workers in its current condition? If so, remove, encapsulate and monitor. If no one goes to that area except maybe once a year, then they have a plan in place for when they do.”

But one anonymous maintenance worker says: “It’s all stuff they should have had 25 years ago.”

Asbestos inventory reports done in prior years have not been shared with staff, according to the worker, and proper training was only recently given in January 2015.

“Lack of due diligence has put employees’ health at risk,” said the worker, adding that according to WorkSafe B.C. asbestos is the No. 1 killer of workers.

“With employees unaware of areas containing asbestos, routine maintenance and renovations have released asbestos into the air.”

According to Health Canada, when inhaled in significant quantities, asbestos fibres can cause: n asbestosis - a scarring of the lungs that makes breathing difficult n mesothelioma - an otherwise rare cancer of the lining of the chest abdominal cavity n lung cancer n cancer of the larynx n ovarian cancer “It causes carcinogenic properties of the lung,” said Mitton.

Mark Olsen, CUPE 5523 president, is awaiting a report on the situation, but in the meantime he says the union is concerned.

“We’re all about worker safety and I think the employer is too.”

RCMP issue scam alert Morning Star Staff

2001-43rd Street, Vernon

250-542-1294

The Interior Health Authority is preparing to look for new leadership.

President Robert Halpenny will resign in the fall to pursue other opportunities.

“It has been an absolute privilege to serve our residents in the Interior, and to support and lead the more than 20,000 staff and physicians who provide care to our patients, clients, and residents every day,” he said.

“While I will miss the role and especially the people I interacted with each day, it is time for me to pursue other opportunities and for a new CEO to lead Interior Health and our committed, passionate health professionals forward.”

Halpenny joined IHA as senior medical director in January 2007 and was appointed president and chief executive officer in January 2010.

The board will begin working with an executive recruiting firm to undertake a national search for a candidate.

Scammers are hard at work.

The Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP detachment would like to warn residents that the area is being hit hard by scammers.

“Over the past week, our office has received more than 30 calls from concerned residents concerning two different scams,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.

One is the Canada Revenue Agency scam, telling you that you have more money coming to you and asking for your banking details.

Canada Revenue Agency Gord Molendyk does not do this over the phone.

Go to www.cra.gc.ca/security. Anyone who receives a suspicious communication should immediately report it to info@antifraudcentre.ca or to the institution that the communication appears to be from.

The second is the B.C. Hydro scam where you receive a call saying your power will be cut off in 45 minutes if you do not send money.

For more information, go to www.bchydro.com/ news/press_centre/news_releases/2014/telephonescam-warning.html

“The police are reminding residents of the North Okanagan to please be careful and do not just respond to these scams or any other that will be sure to follow shortly,” said Molendyk.

Residents of Vernon are in for a treat as the Overwaitea Food Group’s Travelling Road Show rolls into town Tuesday.

And it’s bringing the company’s 100 years of history with it.

Save On Foods, in the Village Green Centre, celebrates the centennial, with the road show Tuesday from noon to 4 p.m. in the parking lot.

“It’s touring around to different communities,” said Jim Tennant, Vernon Save On Foods manager.

“There’s an old car and an interactive display going back to 1915 from when we started,” said Tennant.

The display will tell the main story of the company within a history timeline, supplemented by fun facts and “Did you know?” features. Visitors will move through a series of information graphics and historical artifact museum displays mixed with high-tech engagement.

Fishermen located safe Search crews were mobilized after two Vernon men didn’t return home from fishing.

The RCMP were notified at 10:30 p.m. Tuesday that the 41 and 65-year-old men didn’t come back from Todd Lake, west of Monte Lake.

“They typically fish this lake,” said Al Hobler, with Kamloops Search and Rescue.

“They were dressed in shorts and not prepared to be — Al Hobler out overnight.”

The RCMP helicopter searched the area Tuesday night and Wednesday morning and Kamloops Search and Rescue volunteers were called to the area at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.

“It’s just full of logging roads and there’s lots of places to get lost,” said Hobler, adding that while ground crews were used, air support was critical.

Family members were also part of the search.

The men were located at about noon Wednesday.

“I suspect they were a little cold but fine otherwise,” said Hobler.

“They had broke an axle driving down a steep portion of the road to the lake.

“They hunkered down.”

Group’s retail innovations, the best and latest in technology, and the economic impact that the retailer has had in the communities it has served over the past 100 years.

“There will be spin the wheel and Saputo is here handing out chocolate milk,” said Tennant.

One of the main features of the road show also includes the storefront and antique car photo opportunity where visitors can gather in front of the 1915 Model T, which is positioned in front of a replica of the original 100-year-old Overwaitea storefront.

Sliding for a good cause tyler lowey Morning Star Staff

Grab your swim trunks and your kids and head on down to Atlantis Waterslides for the Slide Into Summer fundraiser July 6.

The Rice Box and Image Studios are teaming up to raise money for the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation for the completion of the Polson Tower.

“We wanted to do something fun for the community that you can bring your family out to,” said On Ouchs, the owner of the Rice Box. The event runs from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. and will be jam-packed with fun activities for the whole family.

The kids section will be where the mini-golf was and will feature Kiki the Eco Elf performing songs and magic along with her balloon tricks and face painting.

Kelowna’s Leif the Magician will be on hand, entertaining kids with his tricks.

There will also be a bouncy castle.

The Goods band will be performing live during the evening and the Kinshira Fire Group will do a fire dance at 10 p.m.

“We are really thankful for all the

Four hours on the waterslides is sure to build up quite an appetite.

A&W has donated burgers, the Rice Box is supplying a bunch of chow mein and sushi, Save On Foods will donate drinks and Marble Slab has donated ice cream.

Vernon volunteer firefighters will be

manning the barbecue throughout the event.

“I’ve always wanted to plan a big event for the community like this, but I couldn’t take it on myself. I needed a good partner,” said Ouchs.

Ouchs and Forshaw met a few years ago at one of her photo workshops.

“He (Ouchs) handles the marketing and I do a lot of the event planning,” said Forshaw.

“We both have familybased businesses and we think this is something the town is going to

The Atlantis season pass will not work for admission into this event. Tickets are easy to acquire, simply go to www.slideintosummer. ca and place an order.

Once ordered, tickets can be picked up at the Rice Box. You are welcome to pay online or pay when you pick up your ticket. Tickets will not be sold at the Rice Box or at Atlantis Waterslides.

There’s only 1,000 tickets available, and all proceeds are going directly to the hospital.

“Our goal is to raise $1,000, but I know with great community support, we should be able to pass that,” said Ouchs.

Adult tickets are $20, teenagers $15 and kids three to 12-years-old are $10.

“We couldn’t have done this without the amazing help from the people at Atlantis,” said Forshaw. “They are donating their entire park and staff to us for the evening. It’s going to be a great time.”

A silent auction will take place, with people having the chance to bid on items donated from businesses from around town.

Ouchs and Forshaw welcome more companies to step up and donate items for the auction.

It takes a team to Do It For Dad. The Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation is hoping more teams will help ensure the Sunday, June 21 event to fight prostate cancer will be another runaway success.

“We welcome everyone to our familyfriendly event, and encourage participants to invite family, friends and co-workers to join them,” said Clarice Piche, interim development officer for the VJH Foundation.

“While team involvement helps us to raise more funds, having more people involved also helps to raise awareness of the importance of early detection and treatment of prostate cancer.”

Interior Savings, in addition to their title sponsorship of $4,000, is also registering a team.

“This is a great example of community spirit; contributing not just financially, but coming out and being part of a bigger team all working together to fight prostate cancer,” said Piche.

Groups can also raise funds prior to the event. The Knights of Columbus Vernon Council, which held a Grow it for your Bro event last November, raised $1,800 towards this year’s Do it For Dad. This year, funds raised from the Do It For Dad Run and Walk will provide free prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests for North Okanagan men, as well as help purchase muchneeded equipment for the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer at VJH. Registration for the 16th annual Do It For Dad takes place Father’s Day, June 21, at Coldstream Ranch at 8:30 a.m., with the walk/run starting at 9:30 a.m. Registration fees are $10 for youth 15 years and younger and $20 for adults 16 years and older.

Awards will be given

Tigers brush

by Shamrocks Morning Star Staff

Two bitter rivals, loud crowd, back-andforth scoring, up-and-down action, one more regular season meeting.

And there’s always the chance the Vernon Sun Valley Source For Sports and Armstrong Shamrocks could meet in the first round of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League playoffs in less than a month.

The Tigers improved to 11-0 Wednesday with a hard-fought 9-8 win over the Shamrocks at Armstrong’s Nor-Val Sports Centre in front of a boisterous pro-Irish crowd.

It was Vernon’s third win in as many games with their arch-rivals this season, and snapped 4-7 Armstrong’s modest two-game winning streak.

The final regular season meeting will be Saturday, June 27, at Kal Tire Place. Both teams have five games remaining.

“It was a great game, the boys really stepped up to play,” said Tigers’ head coach Chris Scabar, back after a three-game absence. “I’m proud of the whole team. They really showed up and everybody played great.”

The Tigers jumped out to a 3-0 lead and held that edge through 20 minutes.

Armstrong woke up in the middle frame and scored four unanswered to take a 4-3 lead, three of them coming from leading scorer Owen Barker, who picked up a fifth

minor penalty midway through the second period, resulting in an automatic game expulsion.

Vernon led 6-5 after two periods, but trailed 7-6 with eight minutes remaining before rattling off three consecutive goals for a 9-7 lead.

Armstrong scored late and could not get the equalizer.

“We were right there with them,” said Shamrocks assistant coach Chad Pieper. “We scored a short-handed goal to get to within one, and had a great chance for the equalizer with 10 or 15 seconds left but it just didn’t go in. We played well and we’re getting better.”

Steele Pelletier led the Tigers with 2+2, while Ryan Sarazin LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR had two goals. Singles went to Joel Castle of the Armstrong Shamrocks looks for an opening past Chris Inscho of the Vernon Source For Sports Jordy Barr, Jay Seaton, Quintin Harrish, Liam MacPhee and Tigers in Junior B lacrosse play Wednesday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre in Armstrong.

Liam Drabiuk had three assists.

The Shamrocks are one point back of Aaron Jensen made 33 saves for Vernon ing to the kids about,” said Pieper of the penwhile Cole Macfarlane stopped 41 shots alty issues that have plagued the Shamrocks the Venom although Kamloops has two for the Irish, who also lost forward Colby this season. “We played probably the last half games in hand. Armstrong visits the South Erickson to a match penalty midway through of the third period shorthanded.”

Nelson’s number 20 headed for Nor-Val rafters Morning Star Staff

A new banner will join the Shamrocks Ring of Honour and fly high above the NorVal Sports Centre in Armstrong.

The senior Shamrocks will retire Pat Nelson’s No. 20 jersey at a special ceremony Saturday night when the Rocks entertain the Kelowna Raiders (8:00).

“We are hopeful that the community will come out and celebrate this historic night with us and cheer on our team at the same time” said Shamrock GM Chad Pieper.

The timing is perfect as the Shamrocks

are hosting their second Shamrocks/Vernon Tigers Alumni night.

“Alumni from both teams will be reuniting to reminisce about old war stories from days gone by and marvel at how much hair they have lost” said coach Ryan Nitchie, who won five Shaw Cup championships with the Shamrocks since helping to resurrect the senior boxla loop in 1994.

Nelson will join Lance McGregor, Doug Morrison, Jim Maundrell and Adrien Lemaire as the first of the new era Shamrocks to have their number retired.

“Pat’s contribution to lacrosse in Armstrong reaches far beyond simply playing – he has coached minor, coached Junior, organized, fundraised and even acted as Steele Fischer, a legendary Shamrock from the ‘20s, at the City Centennial reenactment play” said Nitchie.

Nelson grew up a Shamrock. His mom and dad were avid supporters of the Shamrocks through the 1960s and ‘70s with Nelson’s Trucking a major sponsor of the team through the heyday years in the mid to late 1970s.

Pat played minor lacrosse through juvenile until the sport collapsed in the early ‘80s. He moved away to begin his career as a glazier but found his way back to Armstrong and joined the Shamrocks in 1998 and was instantly recognized as a leader.

“Pat joined the team the last year that our captain at the time, Dale Fulton, played and we couldn’t have asked for better timing” said Nitchie. “The team was in a rebuilding phase through those years with several of our veterans retiring like Grant Docksteader, Duncan MacDonald and Jack Prokopetz.”

The North Enderby Timber Celtics tamed the youthful Ball Blasters 1-0 in a North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division I scorcher Tuesday night at Marshall Field.

La Senza Lady of the Match Tori Reid scored after creating countless opportunities for the 3-3-1 Celtics.

Ashley Krause battled hard to create a foul which led to a Casey Benz free kick that was weighted perfectly to the back post for Daylinn Moesker, who was denied on the goal line but Reid was there to capatalize knock in the rebound.

The Timber back line of Krause, Benz, Debbie Henderson and Haley Walsh was superb all night keeping the 3-4 Blasters at bay. Carly Smith was a standout earning the clean sheet.

Kira Lee and Maria Thorlakson each rang up deuces as Little Tex Outlaws bounced the AF Blazers 6-0.

Jenessa Moore, on a sweet FIFA-like cross from Cayla Brown, and Mary Bennett, on a last-minute breakaway, finished the scoring.

Eileen Fox was in net.

Peacock Sheridan Group shut out Glenn Power 3-0 in other Division 1 action Tuesday night.

Sports Monsters scare off Duckies 6-1

T HO M SU MERDEALS DOOR CRASHER

Morning Star Staff

The Cookie Monsters polished off the Rubber Duckies 6-1 in Royal LePage U12 boys youth soccer play Saturday at Marshall Field.

Quinn Soon jumpstarted things by bagging two goals before the two-minute mark. First, Chris Bond cut off a Duck throw-in and fed Soon, who juked in for the score.

Seconds later, Soon took the return pass on a give-and-go with Connor Strilchuk, and squeaked a shot through the keeper’s legs.

The Ducks regrouped and flapped back. Teja Sheldrake tested Tavis Whibley, who came up big in the Monster net.

Sheldrake swooped in again, but Mason Bueckert got a foot in to block his point-blank bid. Late in the half, Strilchuk sprung Evan Bush, who converted his own rebound with a spin-around boot.

Seven minutes into the second half, Owen Sunderland, Keaton Dick, and Bond relayed the ball to a wide-open Whibley.

Luka Delisimunovic replied for the Duckies, socking in a cross from Corbin Snow. Soon and Strilchuk then combined to set up two more scores for the blue beasties: Whibley counted his second on a rebound, and Sunderland put in a screamer.

In the U9 girls circuit, the Lightning Skulls jolted the Blue Skittles 3-2 at Creekside Park.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender is encouraging schools throughout the province to submit their proposals for the Innovation Partnership or Innovation Inventory as the first intake period is coming to a close.

With innovative learning opportunities and teaching practices happening in B.C. classrooms every day, these two initiatives will look to share successes from the system and create a network of schools and educators as they explore more innovative, flexible learning opportunities in their communities.

Schools accepted into the Innovation Partnership will have access to a variety of supports as they focus on moving innovation from theory to everyday practice.

Minister responds

I

am providing constituents with the following paragraphs of a letter sent to the mayor of Vancouver from our federal minister of health: “Marijuana is not an approved drug or medicine, and Health Canada does not endorse its use. There is serious health risks associated with smoking marijuana, especially for youth.

“That is why the government of Canada wants to Colin Mayes stop youth from smoking marijuana. The evidence is clear that when youth smoke marijuana they have increased risks of developing mental health issues, including psychosis and schizophrenia. We also know that regular, long-term marijuana use in youth can harm concentration, memory, and the ability to think and to make decisions, and it can also produce paranoia and anxiety or nervousness.

“Legitimizing and normalizing the use and sale of marijuana can have only one effect: increasing marijuana use and addiction.

“Indeed, according to the Canadian Drug Use Monitoring Survey, although youth marijuana use has dropped by almost 45 per cent since 2004, 20 percent of youth smoked marijuana in 2012 compared to 70 per cent who drank alcohol.

Legitimizing and normalizing marijuana could mean more than tripling its use by youth.

“While Canadian courts have required the government to allow access to marijuana when authorized by a physician, the law is clear that this must be done in a controlled fashion to protect public health and safety. In response to the courts, the government implemented the marijuana for medical purposes regulations in June of 2013, with the aim of treating dried marijuana as much

MP REPORT

as possible like other narcotics used for medical purposes.

“These regulations are clear and do not provide municipalities with the authority to legitimize the commercial sale of marijuana, which remains an illegal substance.

“Storefronts and dispensaries do not operate within a grey zone and the law is clear: they are illegal.”

The minister of health’s position is clear.

I have a problem understanding people in politics who tell us they are there for the public good, yet they put the public at risk for political points and to accommodate their lifestyle.

Surely there are better policy priorities for our youth.

Deborah Banks celebrates 35 years since she started the Okanagan School of Ballet Morning Star Staff

As many who have taken one of her classes knows, Debbie Banks likes to keep her students on their toes.

The Vernon dance teacher is celebrating a milestone this year with her Okanagan School of Ballet.

Co-founded by Betty Farrally and Dr. Gwenneth Lloyd (also founders of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet Company) as the Canadian School of Ballet, the Okanagan School of Ballet is celebrating its 35th anniversary under the direction of Banks “I asked one of my little ones, ‘It is our 35th anniversary, what does that mean?’ and she said, ‘It means you’re 35 years old,’ so I said, ‘OK that’s what I have to go with,”’ laughed Banks.

Born Deborah Yakimovitch, Banks was born in Vernon and had all her training at the Canadian School of Ballet in Vernon and Kelowna. She passed all her grades of the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) and holds her advanced executant certificate.

Banks attended the Banff School of Fine Arts for six consecutive summers, dancing in the workshop and

festival ballet performances. She auditioned and was accepted as a corps member of the Alberta Ballet Company in Edmonton, and danced there for two years. The company toured extensively in the province, performing lecture demonstrations in schools and full-length shows in local auditoriums. The repertoire included classical ballet, contemporary, jazz and national works.

After returning to Vernon, Banks began teaching for the Canadian School of Ballet and became a registered teacher before starting the Okanagan School of Ballet.

Joining Banks as an instructor is Kim Shatzko, who is a former student and recent graduate of the certificate in ballet teaching studies program.

“Students are entered in exams with the Royal Academy of Dance and are marked on technique, musicality, and strength. In addition, classes are offered in hip hop, musical theatre, modern, jazz and tap,” said Banks.

Former students who have gone on to professional careers in dance include Jamie Hawke, who has her master’s in dance from the University of Utah and is now teaching at Douglas College in New Westminster; Rokaya Duval, a student of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet and dancer with the Atlantic Ballet; Mary Yount, a registered teacher with the Royal Academy of Dance and now teaching in Sydney, Australia, as well as Bonnie Wilson, Katherine Wilson and Katy Schroeder, all

In addition, the Okanagan School of Ballet’s rehearsal pianist, Irene Brown, has been with Banks the past 32 years and has seen two generations of dancers go through the studio.

Banks’ daughter Jenica, 19, has also grown up at her mother’s studio and has enjoyed a successful career, holding her RAD intermediate certi-

fication. She is a second-year student at the University of Victoria and takes classes on campus.

“Children of former students are now dancing in the studio, enjoying the same experiences their mothers did,” said Banks, adding she has no plans of slowing down anytime soon.

“The body has been giving me different signals but it doesn’t feel any different. The kids change, different faces, but it is all really the same. They love the music, love to dance, that is all there is to it.”

The Okanagan School of Ballet continues with its 35th anniversary celebrations at its annual dance recital, June 20 at 7 p.m. at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre.

“The recital is a culmination of the dance season and all students ages three and up will be participating,” said Banks. “Entries in the Vibe and Showtime Festivals will be featured, as well as exam and scholarship awards.”

Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for students and seniors at the Ticket Seller, 250-549-7459, ticketseller.ca.

Take a trip to Sicily when jazz project arrives in Vernon Morning Star Staff

A Canadian-American-Italian jazz connection is about to be make itself seen and heard in Vernon.

One of Canada’s most respected jazz guitarists is bringing The Sicilian Jazz Project to Vernon’s Pottery Road Yoga Studio for an outdoor magical and music-filled evening, June 26.

The group consists of eighttime Juno award nominee Michael Occhipinti, Italian singer Pilar, and American clarinetist Don Byron.

The Sicilian Jazz Project has been

dazzling audiences worldwide with its intriguing mix of Sicilian folk with jazz, world music, funk, and chamber music.

Putting an original twist on the music sung by fishermen, miners, and peasants, the group captures old world Sicily set within the modern sounds of the new world.

“Sicily is the land where the musical traditions of Europe, Asia, and North Africa mingled to create something new. Throw in the dramatic lives of pirates and peasants, and transport it all to the new world where jazz, funk, and

reggae grooves come together, and the result is the Sicilian Jazz Project,” said Sherrie Erickson, who runs the Pottery Road Yoga studio with husband Neil.

Toronto guitarist/composer Occhipinti has recorded albums in ode to Bruce Cockburn and John Lennon, and has also released critically appraised solo projects. He also leads the Sicilian Jazz Project, formed in 2004, which has been called “a masterpiece of cultural fusion.” The group has released two albums, including 2009’s Juno nominated self-titled album, and

a new album, Muorica, which features the riveting Italian singer Pilar and renowned clarinetist Byron.

“Bring your picnic blanket/chair and enjoy an enchanting outdoor evening under the stars with this international jazz ensemble. It doesn’t get better than this,” said Erickson.

The studio is located at 964 Pottery Rd. Gates open at 7 p.m. Music is at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25, available at the Bean Scene or contact Erickson at sherrie@potteryroadyoga.com or call 250-260-0878.

Outdoor concert series starts in Armstrong Morning Star Staff

With roots in the North Okanagan for more than 30 years, the band Still Munro opens the first Music in the Park at Armstrong’s Memorial Park, June 19.

Still Munro has evolved from previous bands Mellon Munro and Munro to carry on with strong sets of rock, country and classic tunes.

Local blues guitarist Derryl Ranger, of the Ranger Kaine Band, has been added to the lineup to perform everything from the melodies of Del Shannon to the recent hits of The Tragically Hip. “Still Munro provides a selection of tunes guaranteed to get you up and dancing,” said Patti Noonan, executive director with the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce, which hosts the series.

Everyone is invited to arrive early for Music in the Park for the official opening of the Lions Gazebo at 6:30 p.m.

“Through fundraising and hands-on efforts, the Armstrong Lions have built a venue sure to be appreciated for many years,” said

There will be a short ceremony followed by cake.

Also, while waiting for the music, visitors can try the new outdoor exercise equipment by the tennis courts in Memorial Park. “(It’s) a great project by the age-friendly committee in partnership with New Horizons for Seniors through the Government of Canada,” said Noonan.

Armstrong Valley First is back to sponsor the Music in the Park series, June 19 to Aug. 28.

As well as presenting the series, Valley First will promote hunger awareness through its Feed the Valley program each evening.

Attendees can support the program by bringing a non-perishable food item to Music in the Park or make a donation at any Valley First branch, online through www.valleyfirst.com or through the Food Banks B.C. online donations portal.

Visitors can bring a blanket or chair, sit back, relax and enjoy time with family and friends.

Phoebe ryan: Mine

.A.-based singer/songwriter Phoebe Ryan’s EP is an electro-pop primer that’s lyrically driven.

Ryan’s music is dreamy and positive and if her easyon-the-ears voice can seem waifish, at least she’s a waif with conviction.

There’s an otherworldly air to Ryan’s music that’s intriguing. Although the music is mellow enough for a bookDean Gordon-Smith store or Starbucks lineup, there’s enough melodic action to generate interest.

Even down-tempo tracks like Homie (a cute ear-

Street SoundS

worm hook) are buoyed along by Ryan’s appealing voice – she’d sound perfect singing lullabies.

This lighter-than-air character shares shimmery traits with techno dweebs like Owl City, but Ryan’s sound displays a keen ear for editing skills. Despite the lush sound, the songs have a leanness to their arrangements. The balance struck between mood and production is tastefully aligned.

Ryan shares similarities with some Scandinavian singers like First Aid Kit, Lykke Li and MØ. They favour bright neo-abstract music under the vocals, which tend to push the melody. Ryan’s affinity for electronics puts her in an abstractionist camp but her pop sensibility keeps her from getting too weird.

Her ambient gems are perfect easy listening for the summer.

Covering the arts scene in Vernon

insidious: Chapter 3

www.vernonmorningstar.com

Q

uinn (Stefanie Scott) is a teenage girl who misses her dead mother so much she visits psychic Elise (Lin Shaye) to attempt communication.

Elise, who is retired and reluctant in her efforts, is unable to make contact. She sends Quinn home, where shortly thereafter the girl begins seeing an ugly spirit, “the man who can’t Taylor and Howe breathe,” waving at her from the beyond, getting closer and closer.

When Quinn’s dad Sean (Dermot Mulroney) begins seeing the spirit and what it is doing to Quinn he calls in Elise to do battle with the man who can’t breathe.

We say, “It’s similar, but less stylized than the previous Insidious-nesses.”

TAYLOR: The first two Insidious films involved the same family, being haunted by different, but thinly connected, demonic spirits.

Insidious: Chapter 3 (great title) is a prequel, where our sweet, old psychic Elise is tired of battling demons and has closed up shop. She’s also afraid of one particularly nasty spirit that always finds her while she’s searching the ghostly realms for someone else. To not go into that realm, ends the torture, ergo Elise retires. However, she gets pulled back into the game by poor Quinn, who’s being tormented by the ghost of a gasping jerk.

All the films are basically the same: Elise wanders around in the creepy spirit realm, which is always dark hallways and rooms, slightly off, like Barton Fink, doing battle with disfigured, disturbing, angry or crazy humanoids, trying to

Elise (Lin Shaye) is back, demon hunting down creepy hallways in Insidious: Chapter 3. bring somebody back. The thing that’s different with this film is that it wasn’t directed by James Wan, who did the previous film. Instead, it was first time directed by writer (of all of them) Leigh Whannell. Thus, similar, but less stylized.

I prefer Wan’s treatment. It was creepier.

HOWE: I think the important question to ask is, how scary is Insidious: Chapter 3?

The answer is, a little bit, if you are under the age of 12 and have never seen a horror movie before. The scares are cheap, lazy in fact. The special effects and make up are some of the worst I have ever seen.

For example, let’s put a head on backwards, cover the face in hair then pull the hair apart like curtains, and voila, that will be scary. No, it’s not scary, it’s just weird and maybe funny.

Honestly, what a waste of money for nearly nothing. I wish the movie makers would give me something new rather than

One-man dynamo to play Lorenzo’s

Montreal guitar hero Steve Hill is set to head out for a one-man band Canadian tour this summer and will be making a stop at Lorenzo’s Café June 24.

The tour is in support of his acclaimed multiple award winning release Solo Recordings Volume 2.

Hill is clearly at home on the stage, inviting audiences to catch a glimpse of his musical madness in the form of blues and rock ‘n’ roll.

Throughout his lengthy and intense shows, he performs standing up while singing and playing guitar, with his feet playing bass drum, snare drum, hi-hats and, with a drum stick fused to the head of his trusty guitar, any other percussion within reach.

With roots in blues, rock and a little bit of country, Hill performs his original songs, blues classics and quite often raucous renditions of Jimi Hendrix tunes.

In January, Hill was awarded four coveted Maple Blues Awards, including Electric Act of the Year, Guitarist of the Year, Recording/Producer of the Year and Entertainer of the Year. In March, he won a Juno for Blues Album of the Year. Hill also recently won five awards at the Lys Blues Awards in Quebec.

Hill’s reputation as an exciting performer has provided him the opportunity to showcase his talents at some of Canada’s biggest music festivals, including the Montreal Jazz Festival, Mont Tremblant International Blues Festival, Thunder Bay Blues Festival, Kitchener Blues Festival and more.

Tickets for his show at Lorenzo’s, 901 Enderby Mabel Lake Rd., are $15. Call 250-838-6700 to reserve.

being lazy and cashing in on what was a semi-decent original horror concept. Plus the first two had Rose Byrne in them!

TAYLOR: Well, I’ll agree that the scares were cheap, as were the effects, but that was also true of the previous two films. There is nothing new or original in this entire series.

It’s simply an angry ghost story, call it a demon if you like. The thing that made it semi-decent was James Wan’s style. Without Wan at the helm, Chapter 3 is just another jack-in-the-box in a dark room. I’m tired of winding...

HOWE: One thing I enjoyed about Chapter 3 was how it tied nicely to the first two films by showing how Elise found her ghost-busting partners. But my favourite part was that it was only 90 minutes long.

– Taylor gives Insidious: Chapter 3 1.5 black eyes out of 5.

– Howe gives it 1.5 ghost shows out of 5.

In celebration of Canada’s First Peoples Morning Star Staff

Ever cooked bannock over an open fire?

Want to learn more about the traditional Okanagan peoples?

The Allan Brooks Nature Centre (ABNC) has partnered with the Okanagan Indian Band, First Nations Friendship Centre and the Aboriginal Community Elders Society to host its Second Annual First Peoples Celebration on Saturday.

Festivities begin at 11 a.m., with a blessing and welcoming from local elders at noon. There will be displays on the First Nations people of the Okanagan as well as the Métis and Inuit.

Michael Ochoa from the Okanagan Indian Band will give a presentation on native plants, and on the Okanagan culture.

Traditional stories and legends will be told throughout the day in the on-site teepee.

“It’s important to hear these legends and understand the history of the Okanagan people, it builds appreciation for the culture and our own community‚“ said Kaitlyn Richards, communications assistant for the ABNC. First Peoples art, both contemporary and traditional, will be on display including works done by local artists Sheldon Louis and David Wilson. The event also features performances by contemporary aboriginal artists and dancers.

“We are excited to host our second annual First Peoples Celebration leading up to National Aboriginal Day at Allan Brooks Nature Centre to celebrate the connection between our First Peoples and nature,” said Janice Buick, events and volunteer coordinator at ABNC. “This is a great opportunity for the public to explore, experience

Activities for kids will include traditional arts and crafts, bannock over the fire and access to other nature centre amenities, including the nature playground.

Marking another milestone

ast week my son graduated from UBC. In the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts, I took my seat, one wave in an ocean of parents, and prepared to witness another rite of passage in the life of my child. I was proud to be there, relieved that the education was complete, grateful my son had a job and hopeful that possibly, perhaps, the Sanders Bank would lose a customer.

What I hadn’t expected as I sat quietly waiting for the proceedings to dr. April sanders start was the tsunami of memories, events long passed stored like a packet of lost love letters, ones that now reopened behind my eyes. I saw my first anxious day at medical school, the day when I worried

second opinion

that the Dean would approach me, quietly whisper about a misunderstanding, inform me I wasn’t supposed to be there at all and could I quietly leave? This never happened and instead the first day was the signpost for the rest of my life, the day I embarked on a new career, met my future husband and everything in my world changed for the better.

I recalled my own graduation 31 years ago, where I sat with fellow students, previous strangers now transformed into colleagues and lifetime friends, some that I still value beyond words. Through my son’s graduation ceremony, I felt the excitement of my own, one that had meant so much more to me because I crossed the stage with my husband.

I visualized my son’s first university graduation at UBCO four years earlier. There, his father and I listened to his thesis defense on the use of cobalt as a catalyst for hydrocarbon polymerization. Halfway through the pre-

sentation, I whispered in my husband’s ear, asking if he understood a word of it all and to my relief, he did not. It was then that we shared a favourite memory from our son’s childhood, recalling that this same confident young man who now stood before us was once a little boy, one whose favourite toy was the egg beater and somehow, over time, that, had led to this.

When my tall son walked across the stage and received his degree under UBC’s motto, TUUM EST (It’s Up to You) and I was flooded with the memories of his birth and childhood, the bright, inquisitive and loving child who is no more, the one who has been replaced by something so much better, my son the man. It is this man I will congratulate outside the auditorium, the one who stands before me now, the man I love and respect, the one I welcome to the future.

Life Helping parents to understand why their child self-harms Dr. DaviD Smith Special to The Morning Star

“Why would my daughter do this?� That is what bewildered parents plead to me and other mental health professionals in B.C. too often these days. The youth — often but not always — is a female between ages 10 and 19 who is being treated for one of a variety of forms of self-harm. Self-harm exists along a spectrum anywhere from selfinjuries such as cutting herself with a sharp object, repeatedly hitting herself, or burning herself, or sometimes even poisoning herself with medications or noxious substances.

This past November a special Canadian study on self-harm found that since 2009 self-harm hospitalization rates for girls have increased by more than 110 per cent and ER visits by 98 per cent. While hospitalization rates for self-harm were four times more common among girls, rates among boys had also increased substantially in the study.

While good research about self-harm is just emerging, my colleagues and I believe some reasons may be worth further investigation: feelings of disconnection among youth from loved ones and from themselves; youth feeling insignificant and unworthy; the dominant 24/7 online culture that magnifies bullying and social pressure and ramps up stress; and the normalization of selfharm that youth find via the Internet. As well, self-harm, rather than being hidden or dismissed as in the past, is now being recognized.

At the heart of most self-harm is usually psychological pain and a disordered way of coping with unbearable feelings or an inability to regulate emotional responses under stressful situations (somewhat similar to various addictions or eating disorders). Youth will often tell me that the only way to relieve their emotional pain is by hurting themselves.

Sometimes it is the lack of feeling that compels them to self-harm.

Youth will say they feel empty, numb, as if they don’t exist. For others, it gives a sense of control, that rather than being the victim of others inflicting pain on them, they are the ones controlling their own pain.

While self-harm occurs among B.C. youth from all sectors of society, it is more common among youth who are socially or economically disadvantaged; who have past trauma, neglect or abuse; who have other diagnosed mental health conditions or other illnesses; and who have uncertainty about their sexual orientation or who have recently come out in the youth LGBQT community.

While self-injury such as cutting and burning is usually distinct from direct suicidal behaviour, youth who self-harm in these ways are many times more likely than the general population to eventually complete suicide. So it is very important that the youth gets effective help.

I am particularly concerned that self-harm in the form of ingesting poison — taking high doses of over-the-counter medication, prescription medication or ingesting a noxious substance — often represents a true suicide attempt in youth.

Parents and health professionals must take poisoning actions very seriously and ensure the youth gets appropriate, urgent help through emergency services.

(cmha.ca), the Kelty Mental Health Resource Centre (keltyresources. ca) and heretohelp.bc.ca.

Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying issues that are causing the pain and teaching the youth more effective coping skills and stress reduction techniques.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, group therapy, and dialectic behavioural therapy can be very helpful for these skills. Medications may be given if co-existing depression, anxiety or psychosis are part of the underlying issues.

Parents, relatives, teachers, coaches and mentors have an important role in helping to support the youth to increase their feelings of connection.

Teaching youth healthy ways to express feelings of pain and anger, and

Dr. David Smith In non-urgent selfharm situations, the first step is to see your family doctor or contact the Child and Youth Mental Health program provided by the Ministry of Children and Family Development in your region. Call Service BC at 1-800-661-8773 for the MCFD office nearest to you.

Good information and support can be found through links at the Canadian Mental Health Association

new ways to cope with stress can also help youth leave self-harm behind.

chiatrist and the medical director of the Okanagan Psychiatric services for Interior Health. This series of columns on child

and youth mental health issues is a project of the Child and Youth Mental Health and Substances Use Collaborative.

At this point, I once again took over driving without the hassle of re-setting my seat preferences; the settings were conveniently programmed into the seat position memory. Once back on the road I really put the pedal to the metal – the acceleration was brisk and delivered plenty of power. With that much power, typically comes a hefty bill at the gas station, and not because of all the ice cream sandwiches purchased there.

However, a comparison check shows the RDX offers fuel efficiency is rivalled by very few luxury SUVs. Given the often-steep gas prices we see these days, the RDX’s fuel economy on average is 10.6 litres/100 km, allowing motorists to enjoy summer drives guilt-free.

The pleasure of cruising the coastline was amplified by the views offered from the RDX’s raised stance. Driving as the sun dipped below the horizon meant it was time to open the moonroof. The

moonroof is easily operated with a onetouch power mechanism along with a visor that actively reduces the vibrations and noise associated with having a window open, allowing for a smooth and noise-free ride.

Last, but certainly not least, I had long been awaiting my parents’ arrival with the anticipation of finally properly learning how to parallel park. Much to my surprise, the Acura RDX provides all of the tools required to successfully complete this complex and sometimes dangerous (when I’m behind the wheel) task. The vehicle includes a multi-angle rear-view camera along with reverse tilt dual mirrors that provide curb views. I can now parallel park in the city without chagrin – hold onto your curbside parking spots, fellow motorists.

Go to DrivewayCanada.ca for the question of the week

Audi teaching computers to think like drivers

By Keith Morgan

to identify things perceived with senses: a circle, a square, colors. Object edges are very important in this process. The edges form meaningful, distinct shapes, which the brain starts to recognize. A fire truck is red, has a certain shape and wheels, but at first, the baby might think all trucks are fire engines. Then the child learns to differentiate between different kinds of trucks.

As Audi perfects its autonomous driving technology, it’s using ‘deep learning’ to train computers to imitate the human brain.

This breakthrough played a critical role for a recent 885-kilometre autonomous-drive of “Jack,” the Audi A7 Sedan from Silicon Valley to Las Vegas. The deep learning process is at the centre of a drive to produce a commercially available vehicle that can pilot itself to any destination with little human help. Audi is cooperating with such key suppliers as NVIDIA, the digital-tech company based in Santa Clara, California, to create a vehicle computer the way human brains process new information.

To understand the concept, think of the car’s way of learning as being similar to that of child. Caregivers teach a baby

This artificial intelligence enables the Audi processor to detect, for instance, features such as eyes, a nose and mouth, and it figures out that they all fit into a face. It also allows vehicles to detect and identify other vehicles. All of this information goes into a database to foster future advances in such recognition. The system serves as one of the important bases of intelligence for piloted driving.

With every kilometre travelled, the car gets smarter. But it takes more than terabytes of such data to make for successful autonomous driving. The data has to be processed very quickly: 30 video frames a second. The information must be transmitted, recognized, processed, analyzed – and provide a reaction – almost instantaneously, in case a driver is encountering dangerous conditions.

Good drivers signal their intent to turn left well in advance and may even touch their brakes to tip off those behind that they really are going to turn!

Despite that, it’s amazing how many drivers behind fail to heed the warnings and drive up right behind the turning driver. Seems they look no further ahead than a car’s length.

YOUR BEST SHOT

Here’s your chance to win the...

2015 AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE

Frank and Ernest

YEAR CONTEST

VOTED #1 PROMOTED EVENT IN NORTH AMERICA!

Moderately Confused

We are seeking B.C.'s best amateur photographers to send in their favourite photos of an event, a sport, a family image, and/or action shot within the last 12 months.

Bridge by Phillip Alder TO FIND THIS CARD, WHERE IS THAT CARD? William Jennings Bryan, who was the Secretary of State from 1913 to 1915 and three times an unsuccessful Democratic candidate for president, said, “Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.”

In today’s deal, the destiny of South’s slam contract depends on his choice in the trump suit. How should declarer analyze the situation after West leads the spade king against six hearts?

In the auction, North made a game-invitational limit raise. Then South knew that they might have a grand slam, but with no way to

find out what he would need to know, he settled for the practical jump to six hearts.

Agreed, East or West might have got into the auction.

But they can be held to nine tricks in spades, although that would require unlikely defence.

When the dummy first appears, South will no doubt assume he has missed a grand slam. But if he is sensible, he will concentrate on the contract at hand. What if both red suits break badly?

If West has all four diamonds, that is no problem. But if East has them all, he will get a trick in the suit; and then South must avoid a trump loser.

Here is the key deduction: If East has all four diamonds, West is much

more likely to have three trumps. So, at trick two, South should cash his heart ace. Here, he draws trumps with a finesse through West, and the contract makes. But if West has a heart void, the diamonds will run. If West had 13 black cards, he would have entered the auction.

Submit up to 5 (five) of your favourite shots between now UTT and July 3rd, STEVE D OTO BY OUND PH R G ER then all photos N 2014 WIN d will be reviewed m mber of photographers will be and a select number chosen for the ultimate prize of up to $1500 in prizes and fulll VIP access to the Abbotsford show, August 7, 8, 9, 2015.
