Bus cuts leave Cherryville fuming RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

The prospect of school children navigating dark rural roads for long distances has local politicians demanding action.

The Electoral Area Advisory Committee of the regional district opposes the Vernon School District eliminating bus service on Sugar Lake Road in Cherryville and in parts of rural Lumby.

Hank Cameron “We need to show our support for the parents,” said Hank Cameron, Cherryville director.

“Buses shouldn’t be cut back.”

Rural Lumby director Rick Fairbairn says the community will be negatively impacted if busing is reduced this September.

“We’re developing rural areas and this is another roadblock for rural development.”

Sugar Lake Road resident Kara-Lee Zeolkowski has one child in Charles Bloom Secondary and three children at Cherryville Elementary and the new bus stop will be 9.4 kilometres from her home.

“This means that I will have to be driving my children this distance six times a day. That is 56.4 kilometres per day of driving to get my children to their bus stop,” she said.

“This is a lot of driving in one day to bring my children to a bus.”

Zeolkowski says there are 22 children who use the Sugar Lake Road bus route.

“There are no shoulders to walk on, and especially in the winter months with snow banks, the only place to walk is on the road,” she said.

“And since we have snow from November through till March, this is a large portion of the school year children are expected to walk on the road. There are no street lights on our roads. They will also be sharing the road with many logging trucks.”

If the bus route is reduced, Zeolkowski says she may have to home school her children.

“I do understand that cuts need to be made since budgets get cut and things are tight,” she said. “I just truly believe that with a better look at rural schools, you will see that this is not a safe choice for our children here. We don’t have the resources that are available in a bigger centre. And we also don’t have the safe roads that you will find in areas closer.”

School district administration were unavailable but trustee Lumby area trustee Doris Squair says parents’ concerns have been taken to the transportation department.

“It will be reviewed and answers will be given. I understand rural living because I am 40 kilometres from the nearest school. I’m hoping we can find a positive resolution,” she said.

Squair admits the school district is looking for ways to reduce costs.

“Finances are tightening and the district is trying to do the best it can.”

Late night activities on Kalamalka Lake almost turned tragic.

Just before midnight Thursday, RCMP officers received a call about a possible accident at the Coldstream end of the lake.

“A local resident was on the dock when he reported hearing two boats leave a dock and then short while later, it sounded like they collided,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson.

“Our officers responded and located a boat owner on the lake who was able to quickly launch his boat and go out to investigate. They located and rescued four people in Kalamalka Lake where two personal water craft had collided.”

With the help of the resident, officers were able to bring everyone to shore safely.

A 29-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman, both from Vernon, were taken to hospital with significant injuries. The man received a broken pelvis as well as a broken femur, while the woman sustained leg and spinal injuries. The two other men involved in the accident were not injured and left after being checked out by paramedics.

The two personal water craft were recovered by Vernon Search and Rescue and seized as part of the RCMP investigation.

“An incident like this are very concerning to us. We are fortunate no lives were lost,” said Molendyk.

Divisions abound over Shuswap ban RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

There’s no clear direction on a proposed motorized boat ban on parts of the Shuswap River.

Regional District of North Okanagan staff and politicians have begun analyzing public surveys submitted to date on possible boating regulations.

“The results are pretty close,” said rural Lumby director Rick Anna Page Fairbairn.

When it comes to limiting the vessel engine size to 10-horsepower from the mouth of the lower Shuswap River at Mara Lake to Trinity Valley Road, 41 per cent of electronic survey respondents agreed and 57 per cent disagreed.

The proposed ban on motorized vessels from Trinity Valley Road to the eastern (upstream) end of Skookumchuk Rapids Park had 42 per cent in favour and 47 per cent opposed.

And for the planned ban on motorized boats from the mouth of the mid-Shuswap River at Mabel Lake south upstream to Shuswap Falls, 43 per cent agreed and 42 per cent disagreed.

The remainder of the respondents in all categories were undecided.

As of June 17, 1,065 electronic surveys had been completed and 118 paper copies filled out.

Based on the results to date, Anna Page, sustainability co-ordinator, admits that determining the final outcome this fall could be difficult.

“We may have to look at some kind of compromise and changes to get increased support.”

The survey is open until Aug. 28 online and regional district staff will also be at community events to make residents aware of the ongoing process.

Herman Halvorson, rural Enderby director, has been getting lobbied by those who want a motorized boat ban and those who are opposed to rules.

“I’ve taken a zero stance either way. I’m dead set in the middle and that’s the way I’ll stay until I get all of the information,” said Halvorson.

“It will be the will of the people.”

Funds pumped into lift station

State-of-the-Art Ultrasonic Cleaning System

JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

Lumby’s mayor could hardly sleep he was so excited the night prior to a major announcement for the village.

“If I look a little tired it’s because I laid in bed last night and realized Lumby’s getting $1 million. It’s huge,” said Kevin Acton at Friday’s announcement in Arbor Park.

Both the federal and provincial governments are each pitching in $519,333 to help Lumby upgrade some ancient infrastructure.

The village is covering the remainder of the $1.588 million sewage lift station project.

The larger station will replace the existing 1962 infrastructure.

“I’m told that it actually passed its life expectancy,” said Colin Mayes, OkanaganShuswap MP. While it may not be a glamourous project, Mayes says it’s vital.

“We take for granted that we turn the tap and the water flows and we flush the toilet and things that we don’t want go.”

Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster, who lives in Lumby, agrees.

“I’m a little biased in some of these projects because my toilet has to flush too.”

But Lumby is getting a bigger bang for its buck with the project.

“Because of the way it’s set up and the lift station we’re going to

get a new washroom in the Oval Park,” said Foster.

Acton says the facilities will tie into the park’s stage plans, which could be completed this year.

“It will have to be finished this summer if we start it this summer.”

Overall property sales for June edged back 5.6 per cent to 221 units compared to 234 last year at this time. Year-to-date sales activity dipped 1.2 per cent to 963 units compared to 975 during the first six months of 2014.

According to the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board, total residential sales dipped 7.9 per cent in June to 197 units while there were 214 in 2014.

The Okanagan Basin Water Board is strengthening its case against invasive mussels.

On Tuesday, directors upgraded their position on zebra and quagga mussels and the potential risk the species poses to Okanagan waterways.

“We are trying to put pressure on the provincial government to do more and have five inspection stations,” said director Juliette Cunningham.

“There is a cost if we don’t stop them (mussels) from Cunningham arriving here.”

It’s believed the annual impact to government, businesses and residents could be more than $43 million if the mussels take hold in local lakes.

“This scenario has played out across watersheds throughout North America, where ecosystems and local economies have been drastically altered by these invaders,” states OBWB’s position statement.

Zebra and quagga mussels are native to eastern Europe and they have spread across North America since the 1980s.

They clog water intake pipes, pumps and boat motors. They also deplete food sources for fish and produce toxins that kill fish and birds and contami-

New measures are being demanded to fight a potential threat to water quality.

Okanagan Basin Water Board directors voted Tuesday to write the Ministry of Health and request that a blue green algae response protocol be completed for communities.

“There’s nothing in place for municipalities or water utilities to react,” said Anna Warwick Sears,

nate drinking water.

As part of the changes to the position statement, the board is calling on the provincial government to fund permanent, mandatory inspection stations for boats at the five major crossings between B.C. and Alberta.

In March, Victoria announced three mobile stations.

“OBWB strongly urges the provincial government to consider the cost to the province and local governments for the long-term treatment, mitigation or control of zebra or quagga mussels if the province fails to enact appropriate prevention measures and consequently the species are introduced,” says the position statement.

“We call on the province to commit to funding all treatment and containment programs in infested waters should an invasion occur.”

While the government may be concerned about the cost of running monitoring stations, Cunningham says the budget could come from a boater-pay sticker program, similar to those in the U.S. “Those with watercraft pay and it seems effective. I’m not sure why the province is reluctant to look at that,” she said.

OBWB also wants water utilities to review what upgrades and maintenance measures will be needed if the mussels arrive and ways to prevent service interruptions.

“FAMILY OWNED & OPERATED”

OBWB executive director.

“There’s a draft (of the protocol) in place, sitting on the desk of the deputy minister of health.”

It was anticipated the ministry’s response protocol would be released in the spring.

The process began after a blue green algae bloom on Osoyoos Lake in 2013 and blooms on high elevation lakes near Summerland and West Kelowna.

Growth of blue-green algae is often triggered by phosphorus pollution combined with stable weather and warm water temperatures.

Tracy Gray “The one-celled organisms divide rapidly, forming a noxious, pea soup or oil slick appearance on the water.

Wind or wave action can disperse the bloom. Only certain species produce toxins, but it’s not possible to identify them by sight, so lab tests are necessary,” states the OBWB website.

There is a concern that an outbreak of the algae could negatively impact beaches and water intakes.

While the Ministry of Health continues to review the proposed protocol, some OBWB officials believe they should notify municipal staff about the issue.

“We should take a leadership role,” said director Tracy Gray.

“It’s important to reiterate that those people know what to look for.”

Response to an algae bloom appears limited.

“You can’t disperse the bloom but you can close a beach,” said Warwick Sears.

Launching into summer

pparently this weekend is supposed to be a bit of a reprieve weatherwise as the mercury should drop a little and there may even be a little precipitation.

Both good things for us and our forests, hopefully sans storm activity, and a welcome break from the dry, record-breaking heat of the past few weeks.

Now it sounds kind of funny to complain about hot, dry weather in the Okanagan, after all that’s pretty much what we’re known for and why people flock here to take advantage of our wonderful lakes – but there’s always that too much of a good thing, well, thing.

I don’t mind the heat at Glenn Mitchell all but when it gets north of 34 or 35 my motivational mojo goes south and I’m more likely to hole up in the basement than actually enjoy the great outdoors.

But that seems very wrong too as we do live in Canada and the summer season, no matter how intense it may get at times, will be over in the blink of a mosquito’s eye.

So we do get out there when we can and both times of late it’s been absolutely wonderful, which always makes you wonder why you don’t get out there and take advantage of all this place has to offer on a more regular basis.

After all we live on three lakes.

And that’s where I’m going to start, on the smallest and most underrated lake around.

We finally got our boat out of the garage and decided Swan Lake was the perfect first outing to test things out.

It was Canada Day and we decided that the other lakes would be too busy, especially the boat launches which I’m a little gun shy about (especially when it’s the first time out and my brain hasn’t quite adjusted to trailer thinking quite yet).

And we were right.

MITCHELL’S MUSINGS

The launch was a breeze and we were out enjoying the sunshine and quiet waters of Swan Lake pretty much to ourselves. On Canada Day. Although muddy along the shoreline and no beach or park to speak of, Swan is perfect for packing a snack and relaxing amidst the wildlife.

When it gets too hot to handle a quick dip in the middle of the lake is oh so refreshing and even the speeding traffic on the nearby highway makes you appreciate that you’re floating peacefully on the water and not in, well, summer traffic.

And so easy to get to. And launch.

Now we also like Okanagan and go out to Mabel, a personal favourite with the kids growing up while camping at the provincial park at the south end, when we can but we’ve stayed away from Kal in recent years due to the busyness factor. OK, the boat launches weighed into it too.

But last Sunday we went for it along with some friends, who are Kal veterans.

And it was spectacular.

We launched at Kekuli Bay, a first for us and a little daunting as we approached and saw how busy it was, but with a little guidance the rookie handled it as well as could be expected and soon we were off in the great turquoise wonder.

The lake that day was particularly emerald and wondrous and it was the perfect elixir for a hot sunny Okanagan day, and yes there were plenty of boats but still room to tie up and relax and everyone seemed friendly and grateful to be out there.

We even ventured through the Oyama channel, another first and very cool, and on to Wood Lake and down to Turtle Bay and back.

I have to admit it was a great day and left me wondering why would we have avoided this beautiful lake for so long.

We still had to get off the lake, however, and when we returned to Kekuli a little later than what we thought would be a busy time there was still a long lineup to get off the lake.

But you know what, by the time I got the truck and trailer from the overflow parking area, it was magically our turn to come off the lake and everything went off without a hitch, so to speak.

It’s obvious the provincial government isn’t taking local water quality, the economy or ecosystems seriously.

It was reported at Tuesday’s Okanagan Basin Water Board meeting that Victoria continues to provide insufficient money to keep invasive mussels from arriving in local lakes and bureaucrats have left a proposed protocol for blue green algae in limbo.

When it comes to zebra and quagga mussels, funding three mobile stations searching boats at the Alberta border won’t cut it.

“We are trying to put pressure on the provincial government to do more and have five (permanent) inspection stations,” said OBWB director Juliette Cunningham.

“There is a cost if we don’t stop them (mussels) from arriving here.”

They clog water intake pipes, pumps and boat motors. They also deplete food sources for fish and produce toxins that kill fish and birds and contaminate drinking water.

In terms of blue green algae, the substance can impact beaches and water intakes.

A protocol to handle the algae began being developed in 2013, and it was supposed to be released in the spring, but nothing has happened.

“There’s a draft in place, sitting on the desk of the deputy minister of health,” said Anna Warwick Sears, OBWB executive director.

With both the mussels and the algae, the lack of leadership from the provincial government means critical infrastructure is at risk as is public health and the economy.

It’s time for the various government agencies involved to get with the program.

Real change needed in water plan

suppose it's encouraging to learn from your article of June 14 that yet another water review is on tap.

Personally, I would have preferred some decisions.

My second choice would have been to take a blank piece of paper and have an independent consultant start afresh.

Instead, I see I will get my least druthers approach, a finagling rehash of what we voters have rejected by a two to one margin or, to be precise, by 7,918 nays to 3,999 yeas. I thought the message thus sent to the water gurus and politicos was quite clear: people want a no frills water system that is safe and reliable and does not cost twice as much as ratepayers pay in Kelowna and Penticton.

This is not rocket science.

Every community needs water and has a water utility to provide it for them at reasonable cost. Sometimes glitches occur such as at Walkerton. After all, to err is human.

Unfortunately, the North Okanagan has a murky water syndrome.

Greater Vernon takes water from far away ponds fed by another watershed that reaches us via creeks flowing through cow pastures, dog parks, farm fields and other assorted odds and sods that do not add to its clarity then

CITY CREWS PRAISED We just want to give the city of Vernon road maintenance people a great big bouquet.

We reported a dangerous situation for motorcycles of potholes on Bench Road and five days later, we went to have a look and they were repaired.

The speed in which this was handled was impressive.

A high-five to Vernon.

Bill and Annette Chenery GREATER VERNON WATER It doesn’t take an MBA to see stakeholder advisory committee (SAC) committee is entering a fixed horse race, assuring that only a rehashing of Greater Vernon Water projects will be on the table – the projects that the public refused to fund during the referendum.

The public is outraged area water rates are almost three times the rate of Kelowna users.

Under the bureaucrat-penned terms of reference, SAC will review GVW’s hastily-scribed list of assumptions.

This means the public at large will not be allowed to submit letters to the SAC group.

spends mega bucks to make it potable before selling most of it at a fraction of what domestic users are soaked to grow food for cows. Brilliant.

One good thing about exorbitant water costs is how good that is for conservation.

Domestic ratepayers in Greater Vernon have cut back their water usage by a third to a half over the past five years depending upon the time period/data selection used; from 350 cubic meters to maybe as low as 175, certainly less than 250.

The water utility raised rates, ratepayers then used less

How’s that for betraying the public which was instrumental in demanding change.

The grassroots group, Citizens for Changes to the Master Water Plan, has touched the public pulse with its clearly-understood May presentation at the Schubert Centre.

The public wants Okanagan Lake as a water source, as Kelowna has, with no demand by IHA for filtration, because Okanagan Lake is a deep repository of glacial gravels.

In all of these years, GVW bureaucrats haven’t got around to protecting the Duteau slough (an apt public description), complaining about vandalism and mudboggers.

Why hasn’t IHA protected the Duteau source? Water reservoirs on the Lower Mainland are closed to the public and mostly fenced.

We are misguided if we believe politicians are in charge.

Barb Mitchell TRIBUTE TO ALAN HILL Vernon recently lost one of its visionary leaders, Alan Lawrence Hill.

Mr. Hill, a gentleman of cour-

age and humility, contributed to the well-being of our community that will have long-term positive results.

Alan stood out as a leader from an early age. During the Second World War, the British army recognized immediately that he was a leader of men with great distinction, as he was quickly promoted through the ranks to the coveted position of regimental sergeant major of the signal corps.

Every regiment in the British army has one position of RSM, who answers only to the regimental colonel, and no other officers.

His promotions continued to the position of major.

Alan's military assignments were varied and dangerous as he quickly learned to act with speed and thoroughness.

One might add that Mr. Hill was assigned to a unit with legendary field marshall Viscount Montgomery.

Alan had an unceasing dedication to keeping Okanagan Lake in pristine condition and he met weekly until May with his group to solve our current water dilemma. Many people are unaware that Mr. Hill was responsible for

water. That meant the water utility was not able to cover its costs. Obvious answer: reduce costs. Nope.

The water utility opted to raise base fees instead.

Today, most domestic ratepayers in Greater Vernon pay more in base fees than they do for the actual metered water they use. Mind boggling, beyond belief you say, check your water bill, then weep.

The people that brought us this are now going to do an in-house review of their past recommendations and everything is going to be hunky-dory.

Yeah, right. Juliette Cunningham presides over this charade, she chairs the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee. Give her a dingle or an e-mail.

Make your views known and do it now. By next year, more money will have gone down the Greater Vernon Water Utility drain as they keep plugging away doing the same old, same old.

Councillors Spiers of Vernon and Kiss of Coldstream are trying to rectify this water madness but they need your help.

Two votes are not enough to get real change for real betterment. Do your part and twist some political arms.

Jim Bodkin

developing Paddlewheel Park, the community facility that thrives to this day.

It would be a fitting tribute to Alan if we renamed the park, Alan Hill Paddlewheel Park.

Rest in peace Alan.

Phil Mickelson DOGS In reply to Dogs June 28, maybe we should collect DNA from all animals, domestic and wild, and from all of the humans that throw their trash all over the place, so we can trace them and fine them also.

Just think of the dollars.

Edward Newington GOLDFISH With the national news about the release of goldfish into Alberta lakes, we have the same problem here, including Otter Lake and other lakes.

Why are pet stores still allowed to sell invasive species? It seems that a good place to start control is with the importers.

The same applies to purple loosestrife, scourge of Otter Lake and other waterways. It's very expensive to eradicate these pests and this will be repeated by

our weak-kneed politicians with quagga and zebra mussles.

Public awareness is a good start.

Rules may restrict funds RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A politician forecasts tighter water restrictions will leave the utility’s budget high and dry.

The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee has initiated stage one water restrictions in the hope of decreasing consumption during the hot weather.

“I agree with conservation but we will lose revenue for the utility,” said director Bob Spiers, adding that a 10 per cent reduction in residential consumption could reduce revenue by $158,000 in Bob Spiers Vernon in the third quarter.

Staff insists stage one restrictions are needed because of the ongoing dry conditions.

“We are doing heightened awareness and targeting water waste,” said Zee Marcolin, utility manager. “We want people to know what they should be doing. There’s a lot of watering of roadways.”

Marcolin added that larger agricultural custom-

ers are also being contacted about conservation.

“We want to hit this hard so we can stay away from stage two.”

Director Doug Dirk suggests that the funding of utility operations may need to be reviewed.

“User fees are sensitive to usage and changes in usage and taxation is not,” he said.

Under stage one, residents can water: • Tuesday, Thursday, and/or Saturday if their property has an odd address number.

• Wednesday, Friday, and/or Sunday if their property has an even address number • Automatic timer irrigation may operate between the hours from midnight to 6 a.m.

• Manual sprinklers (moved by hand) may be used between the hours of 6 and 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. and midnight.

• Drip irrigation may operate between the hours of 7 p.m. and 10 a.m. (could previously run anytime under normal restrictions) • Customers using a watering can or hose with spring-loaded nozzle may hand water anytime More details can be found at www.rdno.ca/ waterrestrictions.

down payment, debt servicing, equipment and management.

“Today, we could put up to $1 million for a building,” said Rob Vat, NVGS president.

However, director Mike Macnabb is concerned GVAC could be left holding the bag financially.

“If you default, we have a problem,” Macnabb told Vat. “There needs to be the assurances going forward that the money will always be there (to pay the debt). I don’t want taxpayers on the hook.”

NVGS’ financial plan is based on user fees, potential grants and event revenue.

“If there are no kids (and the society ceases), the city will own a 12,000-square-foot building for a gym. Do we have enough recreational space?” said Vat. Currently, the society leases a 5,000-squarefoot facility and the space has become inadequate because of strong demand for programs.

The staff of 15 trains 600 people a week and there is a wait list for registration.

Most of the participants are between the ages of five and 12 and the society also works with schools and individuals with developmental disabilities.

The club’s current lease is done in January 2018 and the goal is to have a new facility by then.

News Mudboggers roaring around watersheds have local communities calling for action.

The Okanagan Basin Water Board discussed the issue of source protection Tuesday and specifically recreational activities that threaten water quality and critical infrastructure, such as dams.

“I don’t know how we get around the recreational aspect and desecration?” said director James Baker.

Much of the discussion revolved around the Greater Vernon Water Utility’s experience with people entering the Duteau Creek watershed.

“They love to get out in their ATVs and four-by-fours,” said Renee Clark, GVWU water quality manager.

“The reservoirs get drawn down in the summer and it looks like a great place to go and play.”

Another concern is what all-terrain vehicles do to the integrity of dams holding back reservoirs.

“If they breach, the inundation area is Lumby and there would be property damage. Who would be liable for that? We would,” said Clark, adding that the water utility owns the dam and is responsible for safety.

“We have tried to fence the dams but it’s a big area and new routes are found.”

There have also been problems with other infrastructure being damaged and warning signs being shot and utility staff must clean up the trash and human waste left behind (there are no outhouses at the reservoirs).

Clark says the situation at Duteau Creek is experienced in watersheds throughout the Okanagan and something must be done.

“Let’s find some way

“It looks like a great place to go and play.”

to do this from a political and policy perspective,” she said.

“If we can protect the source, treatment is a lot less.”

Presently, a license of occupation through the provincial government doesn’t allow for exclusive use of a watershed by a utility.

Among the possible options are leasing the land to prevent recreational activities or establishing recreational campsites at reservoirs so there are some guidelines in place.

Clark isn’t convinced that formal campsites will work given summer condi-

tions at reservoirs.

“The lakes are drawn down in August so they’re not a place people will hang out at (to camp) but people will still ATV,” she said.

United boys even at Provincial Cup Morning Star Staff

The Tolko Vernon United U17 boys were 1-1 after Friday morning play at the Provincial Challenge Cup Soccer Championships in Penticton.

United came out firing against KLM Kings of Surrey and won 3-1 in a highly intense game Friday morning at Pen High School Field.

Vernon scored in the seventh minute after James Huntington converted a Shey Townley corner at the far post.

“The goal gave the boys a burst of energy and put the older Surrey squad on their heels,” said Vernon assistant coach Rolf Hirschkorn.

However, Surrey evened the score off a controversial corner.

“There was definite contact by their forward on (keeper) David (Weir) who had the ball in his hands and then was pushed into the net by their forward, but the ref didn’t see it that way”, said Hirschkorn.

After facing some big pressure from Surrey until half time, United came back strong in the final half.

Owen Burnet crossed in a beautiful free kick and Huntington buried a solid shot to the right post for the 2-1 tally.

Vernon put the game away when Scott Coulthard dangled down the right flank and found Perez Vermeulen at the penalty spot. Vermeulen made no mistake “It was a very physical game”, said United head coach Erick Burnet. “There were two yellows and one straight red (all for KLM).”

Added Hirschkorn: “Erick has these boys playing some great European possession style of soccer. He’s got them believing in themselves despite the age and size difference.”

Kenzel Aarts-Roman and Chase Petruk had strong games in the midfield.

The Tolko boys met the Kamloops Blaze in their final round-robin game Saturday. Sunday’s match will be determined by their placing after group play.

United lost 3-2 to CCB Elite of Surrey Thursday morning at Kings Parks despite taking a 1-0 lead from a long shot by Vermeulen.

Vermeulen caught the CCB Elite keeper off his line and rifled in a 40-yarder in the 26th minute .

CCB stormed back with two quick goals in the last five minutes of the first half.

Tigers push Shamrocks into must-win territory Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Source for Sports Tigers erupted for 10 first period goals to cruise past the Armstrong Shamrocks 20-7 in Game 2 of

the best-of-five Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League opening round playoffs Thursday night at the Nor-Val Sports Centre.

The Shamrocks are now on the brink of elimination down 2-0.

LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR

Sean Connors of the Vernon Tigers blocks Kaden Sagh of the Armstrong Shamrocks Thursday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre.

The Tigers have downed the Shamrocks by 13 goals in both games.

“We are playing with intensity and unity,” said Tigers’ bench boss Chris Scabar. “These guys are standing up for one another and I am very proud of them.”

Darrell Landels is the captain on the road for the Tigers. He suffered a lower body injury earlier in the year and missed a good chunk of the season. Fellow senior Braden Barr stepped in as the replacement captain and remains the captain for home games.

“They are both leaders and both have taken over this team as seniors. It is great to have guys like this on our team,” said Scabar.

Landels proved his leadership with five goals for the Cats. He scored 15 goals in seven regular season games.

With top offensice threat Owen Barker removed from the scene, the Shamrocks have been relying on Joel Castle to run their offence.

Castle missed Game 1 because he was stuck working in Osoyoos, but he poured in a hat trick in Game 2.

“He adds a lot to our lineup when he is there,” said Shamrocks’ assistant coach Chad Pieper. “He creates a lot of nice shots and had a couple nice goals.”

Todd Hoggarth, Brody Berg, Kaden Sagh and Brayden Hoggarth registered singles for the Rocks.

Jordy Barr has exploded this post season for the Tigers. With three goals in Game 2, he now has seven goals in the playoffs. He scored 12 goals in 16 games this season.

“Jordy has a dynamite shot. It’s one of the hardest shots I’ve seen from a young player in a long time,” said Scabar.

Liam MacPhee supplied a hat trick while Kyle Cuzzetto, Steele Pelletier, Jay Seaton, Ryan Sarazin, Tre Mason, Thomas Landels, Quintin Harrish, Brett Olsen and Chase Wirth added singles.

Shamrocks’ tendy Cole MacFarlane got yanked at the 10-minute mark after allowing seven goals. He was replaced by Kalvin Davyduke.

Tigers’ netminder Aaron Jensen made 25 saves on 30 shots and was rewarded with the third period off. He was replaced by Darnell Hauca, who made nine saves on 11 shots.

Game 3 went Saturday night at Kal Tire Place. Game 4 goes 7:30 p.m. Monday night in Armstrong if necessary.

The South Okanagan Flames knotted their series up 1-1 in the other TOJLL semi after a 14-7 victory over the Kamloops Venom Thursday night at Memorial Arena in Kamloops.

Game 3 went Saturday afternoon at Memorial Arena in Kelowna. Game 4 returns to Kamloops 7:30 p.m. Monday night at Memorial Arena.

Hurtado big on camping TYLER LOWEY

Morning Star Staff

Vancouver Whitecaps’ forward Erik Hurtado woke up early in the morning and flew in on his off day to hang out with groups of kids during the Caps Summer Soccer camp Thursday at Marshall Field.

“I really enjoy seeing the smiles on their faces,” said Hurtado, who turns 25 in November. “It reminds me what soccer is all about.”

Hurtado is in his third season with the Whitecaps and was their first-round pick in the 2013 MLS SuperDraft.

“I remember flying back to Virginia when I was a kid to spend time with my grandparents and attend these types of camps,” said Hurtado. “They were always the most fun.”

Hurtado grew up in Portland after his family moved him and his younger brother and sister from Fredericksburg, Va. when he was five.

The Whitecaps’ forward signed 110 posters and a few mini soccer balls for athletes in the camp.

Kal Tire mops up Cleaners 4-2 Morning Star Staff

Vernon Kal Tire dispatched Mission Cleaners 4-2 in Tree Brewing Kelowna Men’s 35+ Soccer League action Thursday night at Marshall Field #1.

The first goal was an own goal when a Cleaner defender delivered a pass back that took a bad bounce.

The second goal was off a corner when Jeff Nice called the 1516 play to Jason Beck, who came up from the back line and had time to get the look to hit the top near corner.

A few minutes later, when Glenn Allan broke through and finished his eighth of the season to make it 3-0.

Keeper Iain Butler kept the shutout alive when a Mission cleaner nailed a corker and Butler recorded a well-timed sprawl for the stop.

Near the end of the half, Beck made a throw-in to Rod Valdiviesco, who deflected the ball to Duane Dennis, who went around a defender and buried a scorcher.

Kal Tire (12-1-1) did not move the ball well in the second half and let the Cleaners get a deuce thanks to some poor defend-

ing which gave Butler no chance. The Cleaners are 5-7-2.

The Tiremen battle the last-place Select Your Tickets Thursday night at Rutland Field #4.

Former U21 English rugby star Chris Butlin registered the hat trick as host West Kelowna upended Vernon Kal Tire 6-1 in 55+ play Thursday night at Constable Neil Bruce School.

Brandt’s Creek shut down the Silver Stars 2-0 at Marshall Field.

The Stars (6-5) gave up a soft goal in each half., while missing on a PK and almost connecting on a Rob Ross header.

Peter Toth (PK) and Tony Munoz handled the offence as Penticton United iced the North Country Kickers 2-0. Toth has 15 goals.

The OTC/Sunterra Sistas stuffed the

Fantastic Four 7-2 in North Okanagan Division 2 women’s play Thursday night at Marshall Field #4.

Diane Neudorf supplied four goals for the Sistas, while Carmen Kinniburgh, Krista Gutknecht and Jennie Currie added singles.

Delaney Ross provided both goals for the Four, who were simply worn out by the heat, playing with 10 players in 35-degree weather.

Lorinda Jackson had some brilliant runs along the left side and Elise Buller registered some great chances in front of the net.

The Green Rockets ambushed Sir Winstons Attack 10-3 at Marshall #5.

The first half was a tug-of-war affair, as the teams kept trading goals. The Rockets led 4-3 at half.

Emily Hoag registered a pair of snipes for the Attack and Laurie Chickloski added a single. Both players had several chances later, but couldn’t finish.

The purple squad came out strong in the second half, but surrendered five goals in the first 10 minutes.

Special To The Morning Star

ALASKA - Across the gray waters of the Gastineau Channel the mountains are humpbacked shadows, with thin skeins of cloud drifting across their summits.

The Norwegian Sun is the only cruise ship on Juneau’s wharf today, and despite the thin drizzle, passengers continue to flock down the ramp.

They wear yellow rain-slickers over thick jackets or hooded parkas as a defense against the rapier-sharp Alaskan wind.

My dining table companions catch up with me. With the easy camaraderie that develops on a cruise ship, we’ve become friends: Darlene is a vivacious brunette, and her husband Jack, is a rangy Gary Cooper like figure.

“C’mon,” Darlene, links arms with me.

“Let’s go hit the fleshpots of Juneau!”

saunter along Franklin Street, the main drag.

My guide book indicates that most of the buildings flanking the street still retain their original facades as, unlike many other Alaskan towns, Juneau has never experienced a major fire.

Somewhere along the way, I lose Darlene and Jack as I peer at window displays, occasionally dropping into a gift shop en route.

While some carry the usual kitsch of key chains, totem poles and mass-produced dolls, most of the boutiques and art galleries are filled with expensive, glittering merchandise: precious stones set in filigreed gold jewelry, Lladro porcelain figurines, oil paintings and West Coast native carvings of wood, antler horn and walrus ivory.

I pause to admire Russian matroshka dolls, cloisonné trinkets and pretty miniature boxes of woven bark.

The gold-rush days are over, but Juneau’s wealth still pours in, mined today from the pockets of tourists who gladly invest in the town’s abundance of superbly crafted objets d’art.

For all its veneer of sophistication, Juneau also has a folksy charm.

I sit on a street bench munching on an apple, and a local resident joins me for a chat. She is an elderly woman with black boot-button eyes, high Indian cheekbones and a gurgling laugh. Her greatgreat grandfather was a seal trapper who traded with the Russians when this area was still a forested wilderness.

“I remember when Front Street was just a dirt road,” she says.

“That was back in the late ‘20s when I was just a little girl. Then in the ‘30s it became one of the first paved streets in Alaska.”

As Alaska’s capital, Juneau boasts other distinctions too.

It was the first Alaskan town founded

by America in 1880 following the territorial acquisition of the State from Russia.

The borough boundaries cover 3,108 square miles so it is, geographically speaking, one of the largest cities in the world. Mount Juneau and Mount Roberts seal the city off from the interior so Juneau is accessible only by boat or plane. Today, it is home to 35,000 people, comprising about half the population of southeast Alaska.

My companion stands up to leave. “Be sure to take a look at our state museum,” she advises. “Lots of old photos of the miners and loggers. There’s even a group picture with my dad in it. He was a fisherman back then.”

But I have to forego the pleasure of seeing the Alaska State Museum and the highly recommended St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church as my cruise ship leaves in half an hour. “Oh well,” says Darlene as I whine about this at dinner, “all the more reason to come back again next year.” True enough.

Unlocking potential theme of new book TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff

Imagine the frustration of having a garage full of Ferraris, but not having a driver’s license.

That was the metaphor Keith Johnston has been carrying around with him for years as he tries to unlock maximum potential from the people he works with.

As author of A Garage Full of Ferraris, Johnston interviewed 15 different leaders that he has built a great relationship with over the years and incorporated their thoughts into one book.

Johnston came up with the name for the book when he was working for Landmark Graphics Corporation, a large software company. He had a salesman lose an account because the company he was selling the software to, didn’t have the intelligence to operate the software.

Johnston said that the salesman was told, “We’re not getting the value out of this technology. Let me put it this way, right now, I have a garage full of Ferraris and I don’t have a driver’s license.”

Johnston ended up working extensively with that company, educating them on how to use the soft-

ware. It helped improve accuracy in oil drilling and reduce costs.

“The same concept applies to people. If you don’t coach, motivate, get people to work together properly, you aren’t going to maximize your potential and be successful,” said Johnston.

The importance of mentorship, empowerment, accountability, obstacles, the fear of failure and tenacious creativity are all discussed by several successful leaders than Johnston has connected with to write this book, which is available online at amazon.com and he is hoping it will be sold in local book stores.

Johnston starts the book with a quote from an acquaintance Drew Dudley: “We have made leadership into something bigger than us.

We have made it into something beyond us.”

“Leadership doesn’t have to be something big for presidents and

bosses, it can be something we use everyday,” said Johnston.

His book offers a unique perspective because he wrote it with gratitude about the people that influenced his life.

“It was important for me to use a variety of people and get different voices in there other than my own,” said Johnston.

Johnston wasn’t all business all the time. Growing up, he played football and went to Austin College in Sherman, Texas, as an offensive guard.

After his NCAA eligibility wrapped up, Johnston played one year for the McMaster University Marauders and was their first CIS all-Canadian.

Born in Toronto, moving to Calgary as a kid, growing up and attending college in Texas before making it to Vernon, Johnston has a story about everyone from those places.

These days, Johnston coaches football for the Vernon Panthers, enjoys sports photography, is the chairperson of the Rotary North Okanagan Athletic Club and occasionally works with a few clients on team building, leadership and motivation.

WTO ruling may lower consumer prices for beef CAM FORTEMS Kamloops This Week

A decision by U.S. lawmakers to drop country-of-origin labelling will help ranchers and shoppers at the register, according to an industry representative.

Canada and Mexico won the final round of appeals before the World Trade Organization.

It ruled the United States violated trade rules when it brought in labelling that critics said were disguised protectionist measures to aid American ranchers.

Immediately following the ruling in May, the Canadian government threatened to slap tariffs on a range of goods from the U.S., including frozen orange juice, wine, ketchup and pasta, if it did not comply.

Kevin Boon, general manager of B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, said the U.S. did right thing by removing the requirement, something that will save B.C. ranchers and consumers alike.

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK PHOTO

Interior ranchers are pleased the U.S. has dropped country-of-origin labelling.

The labelling law brought with it higher costs to keep Canadian beef separate in feedlots and slaughter plants, for example.

“It (removal of mandatory labelling) will

increase the price at home for what the producer is getting,” said Boon.

“It will even out the competition. I think it will also give a little relief to the consumer.”

B.C. ranchers are enjoying record-high prices, which are translating to cuts at the counter.

Boon said the measure could stem some retail price increases.

Despite dislike of the regulations, Boon said there is potential benefit in voluntary labelling — something Canadian producers may chose to do in some higher-end markets.

“I can see us labelling ‘product of Canada’ in some applications. If it’s mandatory there’s no opportunity for a premium,” he said.

At home, some producers are participating in a 100 per cent B.C. Beef brand now seen in more than 50 restaurants and grocers in B.C. The B.C Association of Abattoirs is rolling out its program that promises steaks and

other beef cuts are raised, fed and processed in the province.

It developed a smartphone app that lets consumers quickly find participating retailers.

Chefs, butchers and retailers can all sign on with the related B.C Beef Network.

Gillian Watt, executive director for the B.C. Association of Abattoirs, said a sophisticated chain of custody and auditing system backs up the brand.

Under the system, chefs can also order beef from a local producer, including designating the cut to the abattoir, and have it delivered.

“The main thing is it’s born, raised, fed and processed in B.C.,” Watt said.

A QR code for smart phone readers is in the works that will let consumers determine where, to the ranch level, their roast originated.

Twenty-four B.C. abattoirs are in the program.

our child’s first summer job means new money in amounts they have never seen before.

That can be exciting – maybe too exciting, if your child can’t control their spend mode.So here are a few money management tips to help them make the most of their summer job wages.

Good habits start now Money handling habits learned while growing up will determine how he or she will handle money as an adult. Start motivating regular saving and investment habits Andy Erickson now by setting a great example.

income. Help set a realistic budget with measurable and attainable goals.

File a tax return: If your child’s job results in a T4 (statement of remuneration paid that is issued by an employer) he or she should file an income tax return because even if their income is below taxable levels, they will start accumulating RRSP room that can be carried forward indefinitely.

If your child is 19, he or she should also apply for the GST/HST credit on each tax return as they will likely be eligible for quarterly GST/HST credit cheques.

Be sure your child takes full advantage of the tax relief available to students.

Scholarships and bursaries are not taxable when the student is entitled to claim the education tax credit.

Interest paid on a student loan is eligible for a tax credit when the loan is part of a federal or provincial student loan program.

Moving expenses are also a tax deduction if the student moves more than 40 kilometres to be closer to school or to

“Exactly what we wanted” Three years ago, my wife and I bought our first home.

At that time we did not feel we were in any position to get lending. One visit with Deb and our outlook on things changed. She secured us a great mortgage and we were able to buy the house we so desperately wanted.

Recently we decided to refinance. Deb and her team made this process as pleasant as when we first purchased our house. She knew exactly what we wanted, even if we didn’t. She always exceeds our expectations.

Tom Boeve is looking to break down the public perception of dairy farmers during Breakfast on the Farm at Riverbreeze Farms Saturday.

the father of six girls and has 11 grandkids. His 750acre farm is ran by two son-in-laws and one of his daughters. He has operatd Riverbreeze Farms with his wife, Jane, for the past eight years after moving from a farm in Abbotsford.

Boeve is getting the help of 30-50 dairy farmers to help put this event on and he sees it as a way to give back to the industry that has been so good for him and his family.

The event is receiving a $1,000 boost from the Regional District of North Okanagan’s five electoral areas.

“We hope this will become an annual event,” said Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director.

The mid-day activities will also include a hay ride, interactive displays, a demonstration of the robotic milking, an explanation of the irrigation system and a chance to learn about the health of the animals at the farm.

“People want to be connected and know where their food comes from,” said Boeve.

The 56-year-old farmer loves everything about his job.

“I get to see crops and animals grow and produce, it’s the satisfaction of a job well done and I get to work outdoors all day,” said Boeve.

Riverbreeze Farms is located on Larkin Cross Road in Spallumcheen.

Memoir highlights Iraq battle Morning Star Staff

Retired U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Anthony Farina has released his memoir, Angels in Sadr City: The Final Fight for Baghdad.

The Indiana native recently married Caralyn Farina (nee McCluskey) of Lumby and is currently touring the U.S. promoting his book and assisting other combat veterans by teaching them writing techniques to cope with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Farina’s career consisted of 46 months of active duty deployments that included combat, rescue operations, show-of-force missions, and prisoner

extractions.

Angels in Sadr City is his eye witness account and tribute to a group of soldiers who fought during the historic battle of Sadr City.

His story will be featured in National Geographic Channel’s Decade Series: The 2000s, Monday at 7 p.m.

The Farinas plan to seek full residency soon so they can make a permanent move to Lumby.

He will be involved in military functions locally including the Okanagan Military Tattoo and he also hopes to be able to help Canadian veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder.

News BARRY GERDING/BLACK PRESS

Vernon Fire Stalkers unit crew member Azi Sadi mops up at the Huckleberry Fire in Joe Rich, east of Kelowna.

CurcuminRich Theracumin unlocks the medicinal power of curcumin, the yellow pigment found in termeric (Curcuma longa). Turmeric is a member of the ginger family and is the principle spice used in curry. In India, turmeric root has been used for thousands of year in traditional Ayuvedic medicine to treat inflammatory conditions.

Research confirms that curcumin can promote a healthy inflammatory response and provide antioxidant protection to cells. However, when it come to curcumin, it’s not how much you take but how much you absorb that matters. Early clinical studies found that large quantities of curcumin had to be consumed because the absorption (bioavailability) of regular curcumin is quite poor. Curcumin is relatively insoluble in water and is rapidly transformed and excreted from the body.

Theracumin is an advanced formulation that uses proprietary dispersion technology to create microscopic particles dispersed in a colloidal suspension for better absorption. Theracumin is 300 times more bioavailable that regular curcumin powder, ensuring a therapuetically effective level in the blood.

Published studies comparing blood levels of curcumin using leading brands of curcumin confirm that on a milligram-to-milligram basis, Thercurcumin is the best-absorbed curcumin product on the market.*

Crew called into action KEVIN PARNELL Black Press

Based at the turn-off to Predator Ridge Golf Course, the Vernon Fire Stalkers are one of seven 20-person unit crews in the Kamloops Fire Centre zone, ready to be deployed at any moment.

With members from Kelowna, Lake Country and Vernon, the crew is the closest based unit crew to Kelowna and so it was no surprise they were one of the first crews to respond to the Huckleberry Fire in Joe Rich on July 3 and remained on the scene in a mop-up capacity on Monday.

“I love this job,” said Kelowna native Azi Sadi, 24, as he worked a hose hitting hot spots in the fire zone. “It’s very team-oriented.

Everyone works hard with a good attitude.

When you have 20 guys working together and working hard you can really accomplish a lot.”

When the B.C. Wildfire Service first received numerous calls about the fire along Highway 33 near Joe Rich, it immediately deployed two of its three-member initial attack crews as well as air tanker support. First on the scene was the Joe Rich Fire Department

followed by the initial attack crew, which was flown in by helicopter.

When Sadi and the Vernon Fire Stalkers arrived they were tasked with digging hand-guard on the outside flanks of the fire, digging a two to thee foot wide trench that goes as deep as it takes to get to mineral soil.

“We were digging guard up the fire’s flanks, that’s hard work using our hand tools to dig a trench in the ground,” he said. “We had 10 guys on each side, digging guard.

There was the Joe Rich Fire Department doing fire protection (on

structures) and then the air tankers and helicopters arrived. We rely on them as much as they rely on us. It was quite the air show. The first day was really intense.”

The Vernon Fire Stalkers feature a wide range of ages and experience, from grizzled veterans with over 20 years experience, to young men like Sadi, in his second season fighting fires, looking towards a job as a city firefighter. Also on scene on Monday during mop up were students from Rutland Senior Secondary’s high school forestry program as well as an instructor.

By Tuesday the Fire Stalkers had been pulled off mop-up control and sent to another higher priority blaze in the province while contract crews (38 people on Tuesday) moved in to continue mopping up.

For Sadi, this year has already featured several deployments while at the same time last year his crew had yet to be called into action.

He’s been to Osoyoos in 40 degree temperatures and already to Fort Nelson, Salmon Arm, Lake Country and Prince George.

“It’s been a really busy summer so far.

The last busiest year like this was 2009,” he said, adding the crews realize the importance of their job, especially when fighting a blaze in an interface area with nearby residences.

“People’s property and homes and even the trees, everything matters. It’s quite strenuous.

You’re drinking 12 to 18 bottles of water a day.

One thing about it is it doesn’t matter where you sleep, you get a quality sleep because you’re so tired.”

Mural evokes some fond memories Tucked away in the basement of Vernon Restholm is a reminder of downtown Vernon’s past Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

Marjorie Coueffin surveys the painted scene in front of her.

It’s a view the 91-year-old born and raised Vernonite recognizes well, although she admits the vista has changed somewhat since she was a little girl, growing up in between the First and Second World Wars.

Located in the basement of Couffin’s current residence at Vernon Restholm is a large mural, which shows an eastern view of Vernon’s main street (30th Avenue) when it was known as Barnard Avenue.

“I loved growing up here. Those were the days when everyone was friends with each other. They said hello to you and looked you in the eye when you walked down the street,” said Coueffin, admiring the mural.

Created by James Preslar in March, 1997, the mural, hidden away from the rest of the world but much admired by both the residents and staff at Vernon Restholm, gives a panoramic view of downtown back when the streets were unpaved.

Painted on two adjoining angled walls, the mural shows what would have been a typical street scene for the times, and is set approximately when Coeuffin was born in 1924.

“Three years ago when I brought Marjorie downstairs to see the mural she could rattle off the names of most of the buildings,” said Jerry Tellier, Vernon Restholm manager.

There are also a few clues to the mural’s historical significance and the changing times that were occurring in B.C. back then.

In the foreground of the mural is a woman, only given the right to vote in 1917, driving a right-hand steering wheeled car, resembling a Model T Ford, up Vernon’s main street. The sign in the middle of the road reads “keep to right.”

Coeffin was two years shy of being born when drivers in B.C. became like their American counterparts and switched over from driving on the left-hand side of the street to driving on the right.

According to B.C. historical records, the transition from left to right went smoothly, with no accidents to report - but

Vernon Restholm resident Marjorie Coueffin admires the mural of Barnard Street, now 30th Avenue in downtown Vernon, circa the 1920s. The mural was painted by James Preslar in 1997 and adorns an interior wall in the basement of Vernon Restholm. More photos of the mural are available to view online at www.vernonmorningstar/lifestyles. a reminder, such as a sign, was probably a good thing to remind drivers to keep to the right, said Tellier.

Although some of the establishments are now long gone, many of the buildings in the mural are familiar to today’s eyes.

Resting on the backdrop of Vernon Mountain is the Campbell House, a Queen Anne-style mansion built in 1898 that sits atop “Suicide Hill”. On the right is the old Kalamalka Hotel, built in 1891, and since renovated. Across the street sits the Winnipeg Union Bank building, built in 1912, and adjacent to that is the E.G. Prior & Company building, originally a warehouse for agricultural machinery and later converted into a drugstore, now Nolan’s Pharmasave. (It also

housed the former men’s only Rancher Club, which is now the Vernon Jazz Club, located upstairs.)

Other familiar sites include the Bank of Commerce building, built in 1914, now the Phoenix Steakhouse, and the two storey Vernon Hardware Company Ltd., built in 1893, which still sits at the corner of 30th Avenue and 32nd Street.

Deena Lehoux, a former employee of Vernon Restholm and a history buff who runs the Vintage Vernon Facebook site, is also a big fan of the mural.

“When I saw the mural down in the basement it influenced me to do the site,” she said. “It’s gives a great view of what life in Vernon must have been like back then.”

ommending three main actions for parents who know or suspect their son or daughter is experiencing mental health difficulties: 1. Consult one or more of the informative B.C. websites and organizations available to you. You can connect with other youth and parents with lived experience through the FORCE at forcesociety. com or through the Kelty Mental Health Resource Centre at keltymentalhealth.ca or toll free at 1-800-665-1822.

Other helpful sites are anxietybc.ca, mindcheck.ca, or cmha.bc.ca.

2. Talk to your family doctor. In recent years many general practitioners in B.C. have taken extra training in child and youth mental health diagnosis, treatment and management.

3. Call Service BC at 1-800-661-8773 to find the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) office nearest to you.

You can also access the Child and Youth Mental Health and Substance Use service map at: www.health. gov.bc.ca/healthyminds/cymhsu-servicesmap.html In this column, I want to focus on MCFD’s Child and Youth Mental Health (CYMH) Services, which are offered in more than 80 locations across the province, and in particular their

Dr. David Smith new intake process.

The process streamlines and standardizes mental health screening and initial assessments for those under 19 years of age for quicker access to mental health resources.

Many families who’ve never connected with MCFD previously are surprised to learn that communitybased CYMH services have been provided under the umbrella of MCFD for close to two decades. While family doctor visits, emergency room services, or hospital admissions all fall under the health system, if your child needs further assessment and treatment or ongoing communitybased therapy, you may be referred to MCFD’s Child and Youth Mental Health Services.

Psychiatrists, like me, work both with the health authority and MCFD services, depending on whether we see your child in the hospital or in the community through the CYMH clinic.

months, the MCFD began a new intake screening and initial assessment process.

Previously, access to services took anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Now, under the new streamlined intake, the process typically takes a few hours.

It works very much like a walk-in medical clinic. If you feel your child needs help, all you do is show up to the office closest to you with your child during the intake hours. (Teens can show up on their own without parents, if preferred.) See #3 at the beginning of this column for how to find your nearest clinic.

The administrative assistant will give you a form to fill out that asks for basic information, including symptoms and concerns.

After the information is entered into the system, an intake clinician will review it and meet with you privately to engage in a brief pre-screening interview.

At that time the following options will be considered as next steps: • Is an urgent response (such as hospital admission) required?

• Do you need some more information, parenting resources, and/ or validation and support?

• Would a referral to another community service be better suited for your child’s and family’s concerns?

• Or is it appropriate to proceed to the full intake interview to understand more about potential mental health challenges?

If it is the latter, the intake clinician will continue with a more in-depth intake interview and screening process. All the while, the clinician will talk with you about the best way to meet your child’s needs, whether it is an urgent response, referral to others or acceptance into CYMH services. Those services may include anything from assessment, diagnosis and treatment by a specialist psychiatrist like me, or work with other mental health

practitioners such as a nurse or clinical counsellor, especially for specific help like cognitive-behavioural therapy, or group therapy, among many options.

At the end of that first intake meeting you are then provided with a copy of a brief plan for initial supports and services–- all in a couple of hours. While there may still be waitlists for specific treatments or specialized services, the intake process is greatly simplified.

As one parent recently noted about the new intake system: “I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and welcoming this experience has been... I am grateful to the clinician for making us feel so comfortable and at ease while talking about some really tough issues concerning my daughter.”

This new process is expected to be fully available at all offices by the end of 2015 and will support approximately 80 per cent of B.C. children and youth seeking assessment through MCFD. For the smaller number of children or youth whose symptoms or concerns are much more severe or complex, the CYMH office may arrange alternative options for the first intake. This can include outreach, where a CYMH teammember would meet the child and family at home or in the community rather than having on the family to come to them.

Humans have a better mechanism to cool off their internal temperature compared to dogs. Dogs rely on panting to cool their internal temperature. Dogs do not have sweat glands like us and can only sweat through the pads of their feet. They do not tolerate high environmental temperatures and such practices could result in heat stroke.

Heat stroke is caused by an increase in body temperature which can occur because of hot and/ or humid conditions.

Getting to know: Brian Howard Aniko Forgo

B

Special to The Morning Star

rian Howard, aka Illuminated, is a singer/songwriter from Vernon. He has toured with electronic music producer MDK and has just released his new self-titled album called Brian Howard-Illuminated.

Q: Can you tell us a bit about your new album?

A: “This is my first album I have ever released, and as I have written all lyrics and music myself, I am very excited to get my songs out there. Most of these songs are drenched in years of different life experiences, trials, and ups and downs, while others are get-your-heart-rategoing rocky songs”.

Q: What made you decide to add “Illuminated” into your stage name?

A: “This is one of the most interesting stories of my music career because the name Illuminated actually came to me in a dream, as did the song Pickin’ up the Pieces.

I dreamt most of this song and as the song was playing in my dream, I called myself Illuminated. When I woke up I quickly wrote it down and recorded what I remembered of the song. I found that Illuminated was very suiting to me as a musician as I tend to put hidden messages and meanings into my songs to, in a way, illuminate different things I have learned throughout my life.”

Q: Who or what sparked your musical interest?

A: “As a child I was always humming, singing and stomping my feet to music. It took me until I was 22 to really realize that I needed to pursue this passion, learn guitar, how to write music and learn instruments.

Looking back I do wish I started at an earlier age.”

Q: Do you think it’s possible to achieve world peace?

Why or why not?

A: “Well I think we all would like to believe in total

There will always be differences in opinions, perspectives, and cultures, so maybe the real cure is to accept everyone for whom they are, and even harder sometimes,

to accept ourselves for whom we are.”

Q: What was it like touring with MDK? What did you do on the tour?

A: “Touring with MDK was a great experience for me and was a great spark for me to pursue my own musician dreams. I was usually an announcer to welcome MDK to the stage as well as a backup vocalist and rap artist.

It also was a good opportunity to show off some of my dance skills as I was one of the main hip hop dancers for him.”

Q: What’s your earliest memory?

A: “My earliest memory is playing mini hockey with a bouncy ball against a wall at my mom’s old house (laughs). I then went on to play hockey for over 10 years, but I remember she was watching me from the kitchen as I played in the sunlight and I felt completely satisfied.”

Q: Has there ever been a time when you wanted to give up on something or someone?

A: “Oh yes, many times. I guess I’d have to say that I’ve learned there is a time to let things go when they’re not working, and a time to dig in deeper when things get hard. Knowing the difference is the real trick but as a man of faith, I look to doors that are opening and keep on walking when a door shuts.”

Q: Are there any Vernon venues that you regularly perform at?

A: “I play at Los Huesos downtown Vernon every Friday night from 6 to 9 p.m. If you have never been there, they have great authentic Mexican food with a very classy and friendly atmosphere. This, plus live music, makes it a great night out.”

Q: What would be your dream vacation?

A: “I would love to go on an all exclusive trip to Hawaii with some of my best friends. We have talked about it but never followed through.”

Musician opens his Book of Truths for Vernon audience

Morning Star Staff

An Ottawa Valley musician is about to share what lies beneath the pages of a special notebook when he returns to town.

Last in Vernon in March, Arnprior, Ont.-based folk singer Craig Cardiff is back in B.C. and gives a show at Triumph C of fee Hous e Wednesday.

On tour to promote his new double album, Love Is Louder (Than All This Noise), Cardiff has 21 new Craig Cardiff songs to pool from, most of which were influenced by what audiences members have written to him.

For the past two and a half years,

Cardiff has been passing around an empty notebook called the Book of Truths during his shows and asking his fans to share something truthful in it – a story, a confession, a hope, a secret. The book gives fans a chance to write down something they may be too afraid to say out loud, and it gives Cardiff an opportunity to connect with the people who come to hear him play.

Some entries, Cardiff says, haven’t always been easy to read.

Those heartbreaking stories left him wanting to do something, to find the person who wrote about going through a difficult time, and tell him or her to hold on for tomorrow. That sense of reassurance can be heard in Cardiff ’s newest collection of songs.

“I didn’t realize it at first, but this collection of songs is just really to help people be OK and to let them know to just wait

until tomorrow, stay here and push on through,” said Cardiff. “Every song has that kernel of hope and joy, even if it’s not apparent at first. I think the purpose of each song is to remind people to make sure they remember that they’re OK and that things are good. Don’t give up.”

For Love Is Louder (Than All This Noise), Cardiff worked with producers Ben Leggett (Faraway Neighbours, Ben Hermann) and Andre Wahl (Hawksley Workman, Luke Doucet), the same team that produced Cardiff ’s Floods and Fires album, which earned the artist a 2012 Juno award nomination for Roots and Traditional Album of the Year and a Canadian Folk Music nomination for Contemporary Singer of the Year.

This time, Leggett and Wahl told Cardiff they wouldn’t let him make an album like anything he had made before.

Cardiff recorded it live off the floor

with a band for the first time, playing louder and harder than he ever has, and he stepped into a new role, arranging instrumental parts.

“It was very uncomfortable, and they were just pushing, pushing,” said Cardiff.

“But it was the best experience. I felt like my head and my comfort level were being stretched.”

The result is one part boisterous group sing-alongs, one part gentle lullaby, with one album containing full live band recordings, and the other more subdued, with acoustic guitar, cello, clarinet and violin.

Cardiff will share new songs from Love Is Louder (Than All This Noise ) Wednesday at 8 p.m. at Triumph Coffee House, 3401A 30th Ave. Doors open at 7 p.m. and tickets are $15 in advance at craigcardiff.com, or $20 at the door.

ohn Connor (Jason Clarke) sends Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) back in time, to the year 1984, to protect the woman that is going to become his mother, Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke) from Taylor and Howe harm.

When things go wrong during his time travelling, Reese finds himself in an alternate history, where Sarah already knows her future, having been protected nearly her whole life by an ageing Terminator she calls Pops (Arnold Schwarzenegger).

We say, “Forced restart fails to boot up.”

TAYLOR: Terminator Genisys feels like it was born into this world backwards. By this I mean, someone thought it was a good idea to have Arnie have one last kick at this tin can, so they came up with a way to, for instance, age the Terminator. It is just skin, after all. I’m not complaining. I thought Arnie was pretty cool, reasonable, for a Terminator that is. I even enjoyed the twisted time line, where it’s 1984 but everything is different.

Young Arnie is there fighting Old Arnie. There were fun callbacks to the first film.

Time lines get crossed, things are wrong, it’s messy and confusing, as time travel movies should be.

HOWE: Can you really see this as being Arnie’s last Terminator role? I can’t. They

The ageing cyborg (Arnold Schwarzenegger) works on his smile in Terminator Genisys. always find a way to bring him back to life or online.

I’ve only ever seen the first two films. I watched half of the third film before I switched it off because the storyline was so ridiculous and confusing.

I found Terminator Genisys to be no different. Maybe that’s because I hadn’t seen all the other Terminator movies to help me understand what was going on. Perhaps it was just a crapshoot of a movie and the writers thought, “Hey if we make it so confusing nobody will understand or care what goes on, it will work as long as it has explosions, fighting and Arnie uses his cheesy lines.”

TAYLOR: What I didn’t like is that a lot of the same material was used from the previous films such as the dialogue – “Come with me if you want to live!” – and stunts – another motorbike flies, another school bus spins, another spear thrust through a catwalk under

which our hero crawls. There’s more coagulating metal, more expressionless police officers running smoothly after our vehicle. Still, it had enough going for it that I can say I wasn’t bored. But I might be being a little forgiving, nostalgic even. I might have been in the mood. Seems you weren’t...

HOWE: I’m all for nostalgia, but when you mesh the first two films together and reboot them nearly 30 years later it’s not really a new Terminator movie. Yes, there’s a few twists in this, but they don’t help the cause, it just makes it more confusing.

Overall I found the storyline terrible, the acting wooden and we’ve seen the action scenes before. Terminator Genisys doesn’t have much going for it.

TAYLOR: This is true.

– Howe gives Terminator Genisys 2 microchips out of 5.

– Taylor gives it 2 cyborg smiles out of 5.

Tackle that book

ummer for many readers is a time of guilty pleasure, a rare chance to lose themselves in a frothy romance, riveting thriller or even an old western.

Other readers prefer to tackle weightier material, the kind of work they seldom ever have time to read during the year.

Wyatt (2011)

by Australian author Garry Disher is an atmospheric crime thriller driven by the character of Wyatt Wareen, an enigmatic Peter Critchley master thief caught up in a jewel heist turned ugly. Wyatt usually prefers to tackle low-risk jobs and work alone. But he reluctantly agrees to join an old contact and his ex-wife to stake out an international courier, Alain Le Page, hold up the goods in transit and get away fast.

It all goes terribly wrong, duplicity leads to murder and Wyatt finds himself on the run, the target of several players in the deal, and he must use all his skills to untangle the web of calamity and betrayal before it traps and destroys him.

Wyatt is a brilliantly written, tightly plotted story with unforgettable characters, including the always elusive protagonist. It is the latest volume in

BOOK TalK

a series—the first one in more than a decade—and well worth the read any time of year.

Anna Karenina (1876) by Leo Tolstoy is regarded by many as the greatest novel written in any language.

This is certainly open to debate. But it is undeniable that the classic novel is one of the world’s greatest literary works.

If you struggled to read the novel in the past, a dynamic new translation by the award-winning team of Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky will make a world of difference. This translation of the classic work, published in 2001, supersedes all other English versions—it is beautiful, vigorous and eminently readable. The accurate translation allows Tolstoy to be clearly heard, in contrast to previous translations that muted the robust, and sometimes shocking, quality of his voice.

Anna Karenina tells the compelling story of a doomed love affair between the sensuous and rebellious Anna and Count Vronsky, a dashing officer. It is set against a vast, richly textured canvas of 19th-century Russia.

Anna’s tragedy unfolds with inexorable force as she rejects her passionless marriage to aging official Karenin and endures the pitiless hypocrisies of society.

Blood of the Reich (2011) is perhaps the best novel William Dietrich, the author of the Ethan Gage series, ever wrote. It is an ingenious stand-alone thriller that spans two time periods.

Catch Theatre on the Edge SALMON ARM – Catch seven plays in three days when Shuswap Theatre presents Theatre on the Edge, July 24 to 26.

The weekend of short plays and live music in a café-like atmosphere features five performances a day, with seven different shows to be seen.

In between performances, theatergoers can enjoy music, delicious food and licensed drink on the patio.

Four theatre productions originate in the Shuswap, with the rest coming from the Okanagan and beyond.

“It’s a fantastic collection of great theatre that we have lined up,” said Shuswap Theatre president Joyce Henderson. “Our local theatre artists are taking the opportunity to try something new such as moving a show to a higher level, or taking on something that they

From westerns to history Continued from A34 In present-day Seattle, a young woman is saved from a car bomb by a mysterious young journalist who claims he knows her true identity. In 1938 Germany, Heinrich Himmler orders explorer Kurt Raeder to find a fabled source of power and immortality in Tibet.

Only one man can stop Raeder and his team of SS officers: American zoologist Benjamin Hood, ordered to find out what the Germans are doing in Tibet and foil them.

The two mysteries—a frenetic race to stop the unleashing of an incredible power—play out in a white-knuckle ride of adventure, authentic historical detail and rich, indelible characters.

Blood of the Reich is a relentlessly paced novel that will keep you reading pages as fast as you can turn them.

These three titles and many more are available at your Okanagan Regional library, www. orl.bc.ca.

might not otherwise try.

And we’re really excited to have three companies visiting with touring productions.”

Among the plays are Kelowna’s Fred Skeleton Theatre Company’s presentation of Christie in Love, an intense drama about serial killer John Christie.

Kamloops’ Saucy Fops is presenting the new comedy Back and Forth and Back, and Katrina Kadoski is tour-

ing her musical Cougar Annie Tales, about the life of a legendary pioneer Vancouver Island postmistress. In 2012 her play won Pick of the Fringe and Best New Play in Victoria.

Tickets and information about artists and schedules is available on Facebook or at www.shuswaptheatre. com. Single tickets are $10, with three, five and seven-show passes available.

If you get a tick on you or your pet, remove it as soon as possible. Use fine-tipped tweezers and grasp the headend of the tick as close to the skin as possible, and pull up with a steady, even pressure without twisting. After the tick is removed, wash the area with soap and water.

If you have problems, get medical help.

July 28 is World Hepatitis Day. Six key points are being stressed: 1. There are vaccines available to prevent Hepatitis A & B but none for Hepatitis C, although a new drug is available to treat Hep-C. About 242,000 Canadians are living with Hep-C and many of them don’t know it. It may take 10-20 years for symptoms to occur, but liver damage has been occurring all that time. If you are over 60 and had been exposed to blood products before 1992, get tested.

There is a relationship between the more hours we spend daily at our jobs, the greater the risk we are of abusing alcohol. Longer hours adds more stress to our lives and alcohol is often used as a stress reducer.

Sometimes, people confuse the words dementia and Alzheimer’s as being the same thing. Actually, dementia is a general category of brain malfunction while Alzheimers is one of many types of dementia.

There is much research being done on the cause and treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease. You can be sure when new treatments become available, our pharmacists will know about it. We are a great drug information resource.

Henny Youngman said, “How to drive a guy crazy: send him a telegram and on the top put ‘page 2.’ ” When I get deals from readers, typically they feature crazy distribution and, as a consequence, rarely make a good column.

This one, which occurred at Bridge Base Online (www. bridgebase.com), appealed to me for some reason.

What do you think of the auction?

Over West’s minimum one-spade opening bid, North used the Unusual Notrump to show at least 5-5 in the minors. Even though he held only nine high-card points, if he could hit a fit with his partner, his hand

would prove very useful.

East understandably jumped to four hearts; few points but lots of tricks as long as partner had some fit - that proviso again.

South happily competed to five diamonds, wondering if he was missing a slam.

West raised to five hearts, which would have made, East losing only one spade and one club. But South, after some anguished moments of contemplation, went on to six diamonds.

West, with two possible tricks and a partner who had jumped to game, thought he was safe in doubling.

Here East should have removed to six hearts (a safety-play in the auction), but his club ace looked like an extra defensive trick.

Against six diamonds doubled, West led the heart ace. South ruffed and had no trouble playing a diamond to dummy’s queen. He then cashed the diamond ace and called for a low club. East saved an overtrick by winning with his ace, but North-South still scored plus 1,090.

With much of B.C. covered with a thick haze of forest fire smoke, the BC SPCA is encouraging animal guardians to refresh their emergency pet preparedness.

Several new wildfires as well as old ones have caused evacuation orders and states of emergency in several B.C. communities, prompting people to leave their homes as quickly as possible.

“When you’re ordered to evacuate, you need to do it as soon as possible, and people don’t necessarily think about their pet in an emergency situation until it’s too late,” said Lorie Chortyk, BC SPCA general manager of community relations.

“You don’t have time to gather up everything you need if you have to get out of your home right away.”

Evacuations are usually a busy time for staff and volunteers at the province’s BC SPCA branches, as they provide extra shelter, pet food and pet-related equipment such as crates and leashes for pet guardians and animals.

“When you’re in a hurry, it can be easy to forget feeding bowls, food, leashes, everything,” said Chortyk.

“That’s why it’s important to plan ahead and be prepared for any emergency. People love their pets but it often doesn’t sink in that an emergency can happen at any time.”

Having an emergency pet kit handy is key, as well as ensuring your pet is already wearing a collar with up-to-date contact information, Chortyk notes. Keeping your pets inside the house so you don’t need to search for them is also a good idea, as is having emergency pet boarding plans in place.

Items to include in an emergency kit for your pet(s) include: · A seven-day supply of food and water · Identification tag and collar · Sturdy crate and/or

Protecting Canada’s waters

anada’s waters are some of our most important natural resources which is why Canada’s government pursues continuous improvements to our world-class tanker safety system.

This process is based on systems and regulations preventing spills, preparations and resources if a spill unfortunately happens

and ensuring that if a clean-up response occurs that the cost of this is not placed on taxpayers.

Eighty per centof global oil transport is carried by tanker ships and this brings both efficiencies and risks that need to be managed as Canada’s role as a supplier of global energy grows.

This is why Canada has a robust, multi-

layered regime built on the “polluter-pays” principle and spans industry, all levels of government and stakeholders.

Stakeholder partners include the Canadian Coast Guard who provide surveillance and facilitate

safe navigation and responses to spills.

Another stakeholder, certified response organizations, provides primary marine pollution responses Colin Mayes funded by the shipping industry, not Canadian taxpayers.

In 2013, Transport

MP REPORT

Canada’s Tanker Safety Panel Secretariat (TSPS) published part one of a report examining Canada’s ability to prevent and, if necessary, respond to an oil spill caused by a ship. In drafting this report, TSPS consulted with stakeholders and regulators from around the world to determine what best practices have been proven to be effective.

In May 2014, the government responded to this report by announcing new actions such as: modernizing Canada’s marine navigation system; supporting leading-edge scientific research on petroleum products and a range of response measures; piloting area response planning in four prioritized areas across Canada; and

With gratitude from our team

Dr. Arek Siwoski and Staff would like to inform all of Dr. David Regehr’s current and former patients and the Vernon community that our dental practice will remain open.

We will continue to provide the same excellent dental care that our patients have grown accustomed to.

We have appreciated all of the kind thoughts, words and prayers that have been sent our way.

We look forward to continuing to take care of all your dental needs in the present and future.

strengthening the polluter pay regime by introducing legislative amendments to make an unlimited amount of compensation available from Canada’s domestic ship-source compensation fund.

Canada’s Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) is also involved in spill responses as they provide sciencebased advice on how to contain and disperse a spill.

Since 2006, the government has supported DFO with $49 million for its scientific research examining oil spill behaviour, effects and mitigation measures including response planning and modernized navigation and communication supports.

Our government understands the value of Canadian waters and remains committed to investing in the science, equipment and expertise needed to ensure shipping in Canada’s waters is safe and sustainable.

Sincerely, Dr Arek Siwoski and Staff.
