Enderby blaze suspicious ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A fire that heavily damaged the future home of an Enderby church is being treated as suspicious. Firefighters were called to a blaze in an old office building on Meadow Crescent June 14 shortly after 4 a.m. “We are working with the Enderby Fire Department on this suspicious fire,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesman. The building was being renovated by the Enderby Evangelical Chapel, and the congregation of 140 people hoped to move into the building in 2011. Upon arrival, firefighters discovered the roof
of the building was fully engulfed in flames. The fire stayed in the upper roof creating a challenge for firefighters due to the tight space. “It is believed the fire started outside near the stairs,” said Molendyk The fire did not totally destroy the building. The chapel had been renovating the building with the plan of using it for Christian education classes and worship services. The church has been in its current location on Mill Street since 1972. Anybody who saw anything suspicious, or observed someone leaving the area at around 4 a.m. June 14, is asked to call the Enderby RCMP detachment at 250-838-6818, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Predator tees up new course
Now accepting new patients
Morning Star Staff
Predator Ridge Resort is preparing to celebrate Canada Day in style. The Doug Carrickdesigned Ridge course will open July 1 with an exclusive opportunity for owners and guests to enjoy a special preview. “It’s impossible to deny the natural beauty of the Ridge course,” said Rod Cochrane, resort general manager. Carrick and Vernon Mayor Wayne Lippert held a press conference Saturday to provide details on the new 18-hole course and to participate in a ceremonial tee-off. With a price tag of $10 million, the 7,190yard par-72 scenic course features elevation changes, rock outcroppings, white-sand bunkers, tree-lined fairways and views of Okanagan Lake.

The new Ridge golf course will officially open at Predator Ridge Resort July 1. course was completed in September 2009, allowing ample time for the vegetation to grow. “We only have one chance to open the Ridge, so we made sure to wait until the course was 100 per cent ready
before doing so,” said Cochrane. “The course will be in the absolute best condition on the first day we play it.” Carrick was selected to design the project in 2007 after he garnered the top three spots on
SCOREGolf ’s best new course in Canada rankings for that year. “There are no other golf course architects in the world that could traverse the landscape as effortlessly and expertly as Doug Carrick did
here,” said Cochrane. “We anticipate that the Ridge course will be a worthy candidate for the best new course award, solidifying Predator Ridge as the premier golf destination in Canada.”

News A hair-raising experience for a cause ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Bob Oldfield was convinced his hair was safe. When staff, students and parents told the acting principal at Ellison Elementary School they wanted to raise $7,000 in just over two weeks for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life event at Polson Park, Oldfield upped the ante. “I told them if they raised $8,000, I’d shave my head,� said the popular administrator. Seeing as how Ellison student loves a challenge, and seeing as how cancer has hit so close to those involved with the school – principal Linda Graves and secretary Linda Braun were both recently diagnosed – staff, students and parents took Oldfield up on his dare. Two teams representing Ellison took part in the 12-hour Relay For Life June 5 and 6 and raised more than $11,000. As a result, Oldfield was obliged to hold up his end of the bargain, which he did Monday, in front of the entire school at a 9 a.m. assembly. “My wife, Lynn, rarely makes it into the school so I’m surprised she was able to get here this morning,� chuckled Oldfield, whose son, Dan, was also on hand to document the historic haircut. “I really thought I was safe. But to my
surprise and delight, you guys were able to raise $11,000. You guys are amazing.� Before getting clipped, however, Oldfield praised the efforts of everybody involved, and explained to the younger students the reason behind shaving his head. “A person who has cancer goes through what is called chemotherapy,� he said. “It’s a drug and chemical that usually causes people’s hair to fall out. It’s nothing to be ashamed about. It means you’re on the road to getting better. “Some people will say, ‘well, if you have to lose your hair, I don’t mind losing my hair.’� And with that, out came the shears. “You know, it’s not much support to come here and just look,� said Oldfield, encouraging others in the school to join him. “I’m trying to take some of you down with me.� Several students and teacher Dan Dueck had their heads shaved before the big moment came. Leading the procession to shave Oldfield’s graying locks was Graves, who, along with Braun, was in attendance for the special ceremony. Graves got to shave off the first bit of Oldfield’s hair. Both women shared hugs, smiles, laughs and tears with colleagues, parents and students throughout the hour-long assembly.

Lumby residents urged to join jail debate “I hope to see the whole community there.� — Kevin Acton some details around a prison, including security and potential economic impact. But none of those details will be available in advance of Tuesday’s meeting. “The reality is they’re not forthcoming,� said Acton of the government. The concept of a prison first surfaced about a
month ago as village council and staff were looking at ways to create jobs and bring new residents to town. Acton has heard that there could be about 70 jobs at a facility that houses 200 inmates being remanded for custody or serving sentences of two years less a day.
He says land is available in Lumby for such a facility, and the community is close to court houses in Vernon and Kelowna for transporting inmates. While there was an initial surge of positive interest in a prison, Acton admits that is starting to change. “We’re hearing more of the negative now than before. We haven’t got enough answers for people yet.� Tuesday’s meeting will include a panel of individuals who have experience with correctional centres, including a person who

Transit bus in question RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Greater Vernon may have to go it alone if a popular transit route is to expand. The North Okanagan Regional District will not fund a second bus between Vernon and Kelowna’s University of B.C. campus after a majority of the member jurisdictions didn’t show interest in participating. “Vernon and Coldstream know the excellent value of that service,” said Patrick Patrick Nicol Nicol, a Vernon director. “Vernon and Coldstream will probably have to step up to the plate at this point.” The current bus to UBC is at capacity at times, and B.C. Transit has been interested in putting a second vehicle on the road.
The local contribution could be about $120,000 a year, and that is a concern for Chris Pieper, Armstrong director. “Transit continues to expand and we have to analyze what we’re doing,” he said. “We have to do something with the costs. I am glad the bus to UBC is full but I see some buses half-full.” The cost of NORD’s overall regional transit service has jumped from $166,000 in 2006 to $474,000 in 2010, and a further increase is anticipated when a new transit facility is completed in 2011. Nicol says he understands the reluctance of the other jurisdictions to increase their expenditures, but he doesn’t believe the UBC bus can be ignored because B.C. Transit wants to move ahead. “Their number one priority in all of B.C. is that route,” he said. Nicol hopes that if Vernon and Coldstream fund a second bus, other communities may eventually come on board.

A fatal accident is reinforcing the need for a new highway through Lake Country. On Tuesday, a motorist was killed after his Pontiac sedan collided head-on with a semi-trailer unit on Highway 97, between Winfield and Oyama. Mayor James Baker believes the most recent death on the existing two-lane road is another example of why a new nine-kilometre highway on the hills above Wood Lake must continue to move ahead. “Could you imagine the hue and cry if they hadn’t committed to it?” said Baker of the Ministry of Transportation. The federal and provincial governments announced funding in July 2008 for the $77.9 million project, and while planning has proceeded since then, delays in construction have occurred. “We were told there would initially be a spring (2010) start but some property acquisition has delayed the process,” said Baker. “We’re now being told a fall start for construction.” During Tuesday’s accident, the semi-trailer unit was forced into Wood Lake, reigniting long-standing environmental concerns among Lake Country residents. “We dodge a bullet that it wasn’t a hazardous materials truck that went into the lake,” said Baker. “Can you imagine if it was a gasoline truck?” The goal is to have the new upland highway completed by fall 2012, and Baker insists his council will be keeping the ministry to that schedule. “We want to make sure it’s not delayed in any

Veteran fights NORD process A Second World War veteran is protesting what he sees as a lack of democracy at the North Okanagan Regional District. Michael Fairbrass, a Spallumcheen resident, told directors Wednesday that the alternate approval process being used to garner public support for borrowing $11 million for a new library is wrong. “I’m beginning to wonder whether the constitutional rights of a Canadian citizen are compromised,” he said. Under the alternate approval process, North Okanagan residents have until July 5 to sign a petition in opposition to borrowing the funds. If 10 per cent of the voters — or 6,355 names — sign the petition, the regional district cannot proceed with its plans. Fairbrass is concerned that not enough has been done to make residents aware of the process.
“Thousands of men and women gave their lives.” — Michael Fairbrass “Tax notices were sent out in late May to each and every property owner, could these bylaw notices have been enclosed to those property owners?” he said. He points out that anniversary of the D-Day invasion was recently celebrated. “Thousands of men and women gave their lives to defend and protect our freedoms, democratic freedoms, so enjoyed today, as well as the future generations,” he said. “I feel our political systems are seriously eroding our democratic rights with such ways that are within this AAP.” Fairbrass asked that NORD either hold a full referendum on borrowing funds, or extend the petition response date to Aug. 31 so more residents can get involved.
NORD officials have indicated that the process must continue as established under legislation, and they defend the use of the petition. “The ORL board has the ability to do this project. It’s in their budget,” said director Patrick Nicol. “The regional district is trying to save money on the borrowing costs. This is a funding mechanism.” NORD has agreed to borrow the $11 million for the new Vernon library through the Municipal Finance Authority because of competitive interest rates (ORL cannot apply to MFA directly). ORL will repay the principal and pay the interest, fees and financing, and costsharing will be done by the entire library district, which goes from

A man’s car is his castle
M
y car is my office, my filing cabinet, my spare bedroom, my art collection, my summer home, my beach cabana, my sauna, my think tank, my den, my gym locker, my golf locker, my tool chest, my media center, my breakfast nook, my easy chair, my laundry basket, my command center. It is from my car that I manage my far-flung media empire and vast fortune. I also use it now and then to run errands and get around town. It is my domain, my castle, my Fortress of Solitude, my isolation booth, chamber of secrets, my — well, you get the picture. Yesterday, Sue borJim Mullen rowed it because her’s was getting an oil change or a state inspection or something. Today, when I climbed in, the seat was too far forward, the rearview mirror was aimed at the trunk, the radio was on the wrong station, the cup holder was clean and my change dish had been emptied out and replaced with crisp, new dollar bills. The passenger/mobile office/soda dispenser seat was empty, all the CDs were back in their cases, and the steering wheel didn’t have its familiar, comforting stickiness. The dust from the dashboard was gone, the car smelled different, like the way it did the day I drove it off the used-car lot. She had taken it to a carwash and had told them she wanted “the works.” There’s no telling how long it will take me to get everything back to normal — weeks, months, maybe. “I had everything just the way I like it. That car was a work of art. Taking it to a car wash is like putting the Mona Lisa in the washing machine to clean it! What have you done? What would you think if I went to your office and threw away all the fast food wrappers and pizza boxes and then vacuumed the papers off your desk top and

sprayed air freshener all over everything?” “There are no pizza boxes in my office. You could eat off the floor. And you probably would if I let you. This was an intervention. You’re a menace to yourself and others. You’re a serial slob.” “Am not.” “I found mail in your car from last year.” “I was going to open it.” “That’s wonderful. Except you were supposed to send it. Now I know why we got so few Christmas cards this year.” “I don’t think I can get past this without years of long, difficult and expensive therapy.” “Or you could just suck it up and say, ‘Thank you.’ I’m sorry, but it had to be done.” But she wasn’t sorry at all. I heard her telling one of her many husband-hating friends on the phone that she’d had “his beater sprayed with antiseptic, and it still smells like dirty socks and old sponges. You’d swear someone was living in there. The floor is stickier than a movie theater’s. It’s amazing that he doesn’t get a ticket for littering every time he parks it. You’ve heard of those guys who get buried in their cars? That may be the only way to get rid of it. Of course, I’d probably have to get a toxic-waste exemption.” “Haven’t you ever heard that a man’s car is his castle?” “Of course, not. You just made that up. Anyway, your car is not a castle. It’s a mobile landfill. I’m surprised you haven’t been arrested for hauling trash without a license.” “There’s just no pleasing some people. If I bought a little red sports car, you’d complain about it.” “No, I wouldn’t. I’d take it and you could have my car. I’ll throw some garbage in it, roll up the windows, and leave it in the sun for a week or two so you’ll feel at home in there.” Jim Mullen is the author of It Takes a Village Idiot: Complicating the Simple Life and Baby’s First Tattoo.

It’s easy to be complacent. After all, day-to-day matters around the house and at work seem to consume most of the 24 hours we have, and there’s often the feeling that those big, broad issues are beyond us — that governments are going to do what they want, no matter what we think. However, there are times to get involved, particularly when an issue may directly impact your family and your community. That’s why it’s vital that everyone in Lumby take part in the debate over a proposed correctional facility, and attend the public input meeting Tuesday. On the surface, the concept of a prison sounds appealing. It would create jobs in a community hit hard by the downturn in the forest sector. Such a spike in employment could benefit merchants, as well as bolstering real estate sales and enrolment in the local schools. Lumby’s tax base could climb as a result. However, there are potential negatives to a prison, including the fear that public safety may be put at risk if an inmate was to escape. What happens to the prisoner once they have served their time and are released? Will they hang around? There could become the perception that Lumby is a prison town. What does that do for economic development and civic pride? Both points of view are valid at this time as the village explores the possibility of a prison. But council can’t go through this process alone. The politicians need some direction. They need to know what residents want. Attend Tuesday’s meeting and get involved.

Racing legacy being ignored
I
was happy to hear about the interest in the future of the Kin Race Track. The dialogue is the first and most important step in addressing everyone’s concerns. I, for one, whole-heartedly support the Kin Race Track and its legacy. There are numerous user groups looking to NORD and the City of Vernon to repurpose the land to serve their needs and who can blame them? Numerous facilities are stretched to the limit and still not able to deliver what is required for various sports and activities. But must we destroy the only facility of its kind in the Okanagan? The history alone is reason enough to do what we can to save the race track but there is far more at stake. The track is used regularly for local horse owners to practice in addition to full race days. If we lose the track, we lose these residents. The B.C. equine industry in 2001 generated $771
SPECIAL WOMAN When tragedy strikes, our values and focus change, sometimes temporarily, sometimes forever. On the afternoon of June 7, at the intersection of Bailey Road and Highway 97, a brother lost his sister and a mother and father lost their daughter. On May 17, 1974 Kim Amber Todd was born in Kelowna. Over the next 36 years, Kim's path would take her to a place of importance in this changing world. Kim earned her degree in a period of years while working at Flightcraft. After receiving a bachelor of science degree in biology at UBC Okanagan, she volunteered at a wildlife sanctuary in Langley and later at a wildlife sanctuary south of Calgary, before being hired as an animal care specialist at the Vancouver Aquarium. She loved her job and loved animals. This year, she moved back to the Okanagan to work in the field to help ensure habitat is not destroyed by land development. It's a decision her family and friends were, and always will be, proud of. On June 7, she was doing just that when she was so unfairly taken from us. On that evening, a distraught father left Kelowna to do the unthinkable. An identification that would be etched in his mind for the

million in economic activity according to government figures and horse racing is a significant part. Additionally, the majority of horse owners live here in the Okanagan. For those who feel the race track is under-used, I would agree. We have seen some multi-use from the land with the ball diamonds in the infield but I can guarantee more user groups would benefit from
rest of his life. On his return trip home, a bird flew into the path of the vehicle he was riding in. They pulled over and upon approaching the front of the vehicle, he sees a large owl with its head lodged in the grill of the truck. Carefully securing its talons, he removes it and tries to set it in flight. A broken wing would prevent this flight. Wrapping the owl in his jacket, they continue their trip back to Kelowna. This bird stayed calm all the way. Once back in the lights of the city, he looks down to see its big eyes looking up at him, their eyes lock and the owl pulls its head down as if to hide only to peek up at him from under his coat. The owl was taken to a vet for care and would then be taken to the raptor centre in the South Okanagan. On that day, a life was lost and a life was saved. In some cultures this would be possibly a sign, a transfer of spirits, or maybe a reincarnation. Whatever we believe in, on that day a true gem of life was lost. Since this was written, the vet contacted Kim's father. The following is quite amazing, The bird referred was a great grey owl, very rare to this area. It was young and about two pounds, with that being the reason for it flying so low.
investing in the current facilities to allow for show jumping, barrel racing and breed shows. This would allow Vernon to get a bigger portion of the pie. The cost of repurposing the land in terms of lost history and culture is clear but what of the economic costs? Vernon has big plans for Polson Park and the regional district is looking down the

Dave Todd POLICING PLAN This will be a major concern to residents of Falkland, Monte Lake, Westwold and some sections of Silver Creek. Once again there is a change in the superintendent position in the North Okanagan district for the RCMP and when this has happened in the past, the new arrival wants to revamp the policing in our area. And as in the past, it will not be for the best. I might add that they have tried this before and it has failed. We then returned to the stand-alone Falkland detachment which provides us with excellent policing from the staff that are located here. I am sure we feel far more secure with a police member close by and not 45 minutes to one hour away. I have lived in Falkland for 11 years and during this time the policing policy has deteriorated to a point with this new system that we will
barrel of $11 million for a new library. Can user groups, who say new facilities will bring tournaments and other economic spin-offs, justify the initial capital needed? Kamloops benefits from tournaments because they have made the conscious decision to fully support and fund the goal of being the tournament capital they are today? A portion of what it would cost to rebuild the site could be used to greatly enhance what it is there and multiply the economic benefits Vernon sees. I see a group of organizations who have been sadly starved of facilities rally to cannibalize the race track for their own needs. No one would dare say those needs are not important, in fact, they are critical but we cannot destroy one group’s only facilities for more of another’s. It is not just. It is not fair. Dustin Griffin
no longer have staff at the Falkland Detachment even though we have three staff assigned here. Our officers will report for duty at the local detachment but disperse to Enderby or Armstrong areas. This provides service to both cities but does nothing for the rural areas. Recently, the RCMP had a meeting with the regional district directors to outline the new plan and from information I have received, the regional directors put up little or no opposition to this new plan. I understand they all accepted it with the feelings that the plan was done and carved in stone. This is not right and it is time for the residents of this area to speak up and ensure we get safe and adequate policing. Resident in the rural areas of B.C. pay taxes, like the rest of B.C., and we are entitled to adequate, safe policing. If we accept this new policing model without resistance then we will have no one to blame but ourselves. If and when you may need a policeman and they take a lengthy time to arrive or if it is not significant in their opinion, no officer attends, we will have no one to blame but ourselves. Remember one other thing with the staffing they plan, it is not the
officers' fault that you have not received attention but the plan put forth by the senior management of the RCMP. The officer is doing the best he or she can under the circumstances. Robert Carson

News Theft of family memories stings Victoria woman

ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A Victoria woman is appealing to North Okanagan residents to help her recover some stolen treasured memories. Linda Williamson was visiting her daughter at her property 16 kilometres north of Falkland when they went to an auction in Armstrong Thursday morning at 7:45. When they returned at 4:20 p.m., following the auction and errands, Williamson discovered someone had broken into her 2000 Dodge camperized van. The culprits stole approximately $8,000 worth of computers, related equipment and a pair of Nikon SLR cameras and lenses. “I have been working on my family tree, and I had developed an
“I have been working on my family tree...” — Linda Williamson inter-connected tree on one of the computers,” said a distraught Williamson Friday. “I also have lots of family photos on there, and on the memory cards that they stole.” Williamson suspects a small woman might have been involved with the theft, as whoever broke in got in by smashing the driver’s side window and negotiated a small space behind the driver’s seat to get to the other door to let an accomplice in. “I think it might be a woman because two makeup bags were stolen as well,” she said. Williamson would love to have her memo-

Council revisits pawn bylaw ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A presentation from Armstrong’s sole pawn shop owner has led to council tabling a bylaw that would regulate such a business. Rob Lyon is the owner/operator of Dot Matrix Computer Pro and Pawn, located on Okanagan Street beneath Margarieta’s Restaurant. Lyon became concerned when he found out through the media that the city was planning on introducing a bylaw regulating pawn shops. “I was horrified originally,� said Lyon. “I stopped in there (city hall) as soon as I became aware of the issue.� In May, the city gave three readings to its pawn shop bylaw, explaining they were putting one in place because the provincial government used to have an act that monitored pawn shops, but changed it to municipal control. Mayor Chris Pieper said at the time that Armstrong did not have pawn shops so it was a good time to do it when nobody was in business. Lyon said he’s been operating his business in what was a former pawn shop for eight months. “A buddy of mine owned it, he rented me a small space for my desk and work bench so I could do my computer thing,�
“A lot of things in the bylaw will provide hardships to pawn shop owners.� — Chris Pieper said Lyon. Pieper stated that the city didn’t realize there was a pawn shop operating because Lyon did not have the appropriate licence for a pawn shop. “I was told it was apparently a clerical error, that somebody didn’t add the description ‘pawn shop’ to the business licence,� said Lyon. “It could be partly my fault for not filling out the correct paper work. I’d say there was confusion on both my part and the city’s part.� Lyon does have the proper paper work in place, but is still concerned about the city’s proposed bylaw that would place strict regulations on pawn shops, including privacy issues and illegal search and seizures. “Most of the stuff in the bylaw, we do as standard operating procedure,� said Lyon. “Handing over personal data to, or collecting for, the RCMP, we
don’t do that. I don’t have any issues giving the RCMP the item pawned on this day, that time or serial number, if that’s what they need. “But not pawned by so-andso, here’s his address, driver’s licence number, phone number, height, weight and eye colour.� Pieper said in drawing up the bylaw, the city thought it was doing the right thing, but credited Lyon for bringing the matter to council’s attention. “A lot of things in the bylaw will provide hardships to pawn shop owners,� said Pieper. “We, as council, tabled the bylaw until we get more information. We will check out a lot of things he said, mostly to do with reporting and privacy.� Pieper said council will set up a meeting with Lyon and the RCMP. “That’s great,� said Lyon. “I’d love to participate in that.�
Spirit Square primed for debut Morning Star Staff
A refurbished greenspace will be unveiled in Vernon Tuesday. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at Spirit Square, between city hall and the museum, at 11 a.m.
“I am very pleased with the results of the project,� said Mayor Wayne Lippert. The project’s budget is $667,000, with $250,000 coming from the provincial government. Among the design components
of the park are a water feature, walkways, seating areas and gardens. Spirit Square celebrates the city’s history, with a representation of the Grey Canal and interpretive panels related to agriculture.

District to try new grading method KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
Report cards give parents a chance to see how their children are doing in school, but with the wide variety of reporting that has been done throughout the Vernon School District, that process has sometimes been a little complicated. Starting this fall, six schools will be the first to try out the new report cards, which have been developed as a way of standardizing reports throughout the district. Joe Rogers, director of instruction, said that the new report cards were developed through three committees — primary, intermediate and secondary — in consultation with Vernon Teachers’ Association president Bruce Cummings, and with feedback from parents and teachers. “We’ve had numerous varieties of report cards and in some schools, we’ve had different varieties within the same school, so this way we will have some consistency across the district,” said Rogers. “This will make it easier for everyone.”

Four years ago, 55 districts in across the province began using the Ministry of Education’s performance standards system, but Rogers said that teachers in this district did not find it offered enough flexibility. “So we’re trying to create a flexible system, so that teachers can add more to their science comments or French comments, or whatever it is they need,” he said. “The key point is we want to be able to give accurate information to parents that tells them what their child can do, what they need help with and what we can do together to help.” The pilot project for the new report cards will be launched in September at BX, Harwood, Kidston and Mission Hill elementary schools, and at Fulton and Charles Bloom secondary schools. By September 2011, all district schools will be using the new report card system. “‘After the fall report cards, we will have a survey to those parents to find out what they liked and what suggestions they have to improve it,” said Rogers.

Local birders and botanists alike will be excited to learn about a wildlife sanctuary that’s not exactly new but is opening its doors like never before. Bishop Wild Bird Sanctuary is hosting an open house today as part of new public outreach efforts since biologist Aaron Deans came on board as caretaker in April. “One of the things I’ve enjoyed is there’s a history here and we’re coming in with a fresh perspective,” said Deans, who now lives in the property’s residence with his wife and two young children. The land became a sanctuary as a result of a 1980 bequest by former resident Lydia Bishop and it’s become a haven for all wild things. There have been two caretaker groups since but Deans is hoping to open it up to the public even more. “There’s a lot that’s possible and we’re nowhere near it yet,” said Deans of the grounds located at 12408 Coldstream Creek Rd., west of Kidston Road. For starters, at Sunday’s open house, families will be encouraged to explore the grounds which includes almost two hectares of land and about two kilometres of trails. There will be a family treasure hunt, kids colouring activities, guided tours and nature quizzes. There’s plenty to see. A recent biodiversity count done by Deans and several groups of volunteers where one team counted 101 species of plants and animals. Deans, who can identify dozens of bird species from his work as a consulting biologist in the energy and forestry sectors, says the sanctuary is host to about 100 different bird species throughout the year, 30 of which are visible year round. Quail, pheasant, song sparrows, evening grosbeaks and black-billed magpies are frequently sighted. Some of the most common trees are larch, trembling aspen, ponderosa pine, Douglas fir and seven varieties of maple. The site also has what’s considered one of the largest Pacific willow specimens in B.C. A butterfly garden and gazebo that displays several
taxidermically preserved bird specimens are key features too. Deans hopes to create a native garden as well that won’t require much watering. It’s all part of his goal of getting the next generation back in touch with nature. In May, the sanctuary hosted 21 groups from local schools, with help from Mackie Lake House for bus transportation, so Deans has begun to make things happen for youngsters. “Kids these days experience a nature deficit because they’re so computerized,” said the 38-year-old. “The reason we’re focusing on tours is to reawaken those senses. “I want to have a place that provides an opportunity to establish a connection with the natural world.” Today’s open house will run from 10 a.m to 4 p.m. Open houses are also planned for July 25 and Aug. 15. If you have a group that would like to tour Bishop Wild Bird Sanctuary, call ahead to book a time by phoning 250-542-5122.

A modest protest took place Wednesday on 27th Street near Justice Park to voice opposition to evictions happening across B.C. Organizer Sandra Pederson says about 200 people across the province have been issued eviction notices within the last six months warning them to be gone in no more than a year. “There has to be some integrity for the people because they are going to be on the streets,” said Pedersen, carrying a sign as she appealed to motorists for support. “It seems like big corporations that are buying these lands,” said Pedersen, who was served with a notice herself to vacate her home in a local mobile home park. Pedersen says all her neighbours are in the same position. “Most own manufactured homes and you can’t sell them,” said Pedersen. “A lot of the trailers are more than 20 years old. You can’t move them.”

Pedersen cited examples in Victoria, Penticton and northern where similar things are happening. If people wind up being forced from their homes, she’d like to see them given something for the intrusion. “I’m just saying look at the integrity of the people and compensate them for their investment to enable them to move on in life,” she said. “Most have used their life savings to buy what they have.”

The BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation has hosted Seniors’ Alternative Transportation Roundtable discussions with the goal of finding more effective ways to address the current and future mobility needs of seniors. The foundation also offers the Living Well, Driving Well mature drivers workshop which is designed to help mature drivers assess their own driving skills, habits and knowledge in a peer group environment while getting tips and strategies to help change and improve their driving. More than 3,000 drivers have participated in the Living Well, Driving Well workshop. For more information about seniors and driving visit www.MatureDrivers.ca. The BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation is a registered charity working with families, communities and business partners to reduce the number and severity of traffic crashes and injuries in B.C.

In British Columbia, there are about 575,000 drivers over 65 years of age, with that population expected to triple over the next 20 years. During National Seniors Month, the BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation is encouraging mature drivers and their families to follow safe driving practices and think about possible transportation alternatives. “Most seniors are safe drivers. They are cautious and conscientious,” says David Dunne, director of road safety for the foundation. “We know that the ability to drive safely depends on factors other than age, such as driving skill, your abilities and habits; your vehicle; and your driving knowledge.” While age alone is not a good predictor of driving ability, the changes that occur as people age do affect their ability to function safely as drivers, putting themselves, and other road users at risk.
Each year nearly 60,000 Canadians over the age of 70 stop driving. Unfortunately, few seniors or their families ever plan ahead in preparation of driving retirement, says Dunne. Driving retirement is currently associated with a decrease in personal mobility and participation in out-of home activities, along with increased depressive symptoms. For those individuals for whom driving is no longer an option, their situations need to be addressed in a compassionate, supportive, and community-minded way with the guiding principle that mobility is a right and a major contributor to greater independence and overall quality of life. Alternative transportation options can help seniors maintain their mobility and involvement in the community once they stop driving. Public transit alone cannot meet all the transportation needs. Families and communities need to adapt to the changing requirements as well.

Improving city’s liveability
R
ecently as part of the City Centre Neighbourhood Plan process, Dan Burden, noted city planning consultant, visited Vernon and looked at many aspects of this city in regard to future planning of the downtown core and creating walkable and liveable communities. Listed as “one of the most important civic innovators in the world” by Time magazine, Dan had a lot to say about our city which is reflected in his report available on the City of Vernon website under the City Neighbourhood Plan section. Burden commends Vernon for providing many noteworthy regional and world class achievements especially in public art, senior living, access to services and significant street enhancements. He also makes many recommendations to the City Centre Neighbourhood Plan around streetscape enhancements, public spaces, residential densities and other areas. In his report he
commends Vernon for our accessibility of senior services and the opportunity for aging in place. He sees our Schubert Centre and seniors housing opportunities and services close to the downtown core as admirable and a good example of walkable and liveable communities. When Schubert Centre adds the planned affordable housing towers to its building, imagine how much more this will increase the advantages for seniors living in the downtown core. Yea, Vernon! Some good news and some bad news about our transportation system. The good news is that BC transit has recently increased regular services in Vernon with an additional bus and 1,800 hours of service time which will improve and extend services. Most downtown buses will be available every half-hour through the week with some bus-
ses running until 7 p.m. HandiDart also has increased service with an additional bus and 1,500 additional service hours enriching the existing service and hopefully reducing the need for four days notice to registered users. Another bus Pat Black is proposed for the UBC Okanagan route as well, as this service is very heavily used with standing room only on some buses travelling down the busy highway. Vernon Council and Coldstream have supported this increase with only the region to be heard from at this time. Kudos to Council and BC Transit for listening and responding to our needs. However, BC Transit still hasn’t addressed the problem of 95 registered HandiDart users still waiting to be able to purchase taxi saver certificates. This is a program that allows people registered with HandiDart to purchase
PERSONAL BEST
taxi saver certificates at half price up to a certain amount. These certificates can be used as needed or when HandiDart is not available such as high traffic times or Sundays and weekends. While many older HandiDart users have access to this service, newer applicants have been refused this opportunity because of lack of available funds. According to BC Transit, the only criterion to be eligible for this service is that individuals be registered with HandiDart. However, this is not what is happening and while 275 HandiDart registered users have access to this service, 95 others do not. Apparently new provincial criteria are being developed around this service by BC Transport but that does not help the 95 HandiDart users still waiting.

Club honours pioneer heritage JUNE GRISWOLD Special to The Morning Star
The Shuswap Pioneer Collector’s Club was formed in Salmon Arm Feb. 5, 2004 with Harry Chapin as president. As of May 2010 there were 91 paid members. This year, Ken Topham was voted in as president, vice-president is Doug Carlaw, secretary is Bruce Taylor, treasurer is Boyd Grier. The club is very active and attends many events in Salmon Arm and surrounding area. Members have a variety of tractors including eight steam tractors. The oldest tractor in the club is owned by Doug Callahan of Kelowna. It is a 1912 Case 20-40. The oldest steam engine is a tie between Dwight Johnson of Armstrong with a 1911 Case, and Doug Callahan with a 1911 Russell. The newest one is also owned by Doug. It is a 1929 Keck-Gonnermann. It is the only Keck-Gonnermann in Canada. Herb and Linda Higgenbottom built a giant reel lawn mower and have it on display at their Deep Creek Tool Museum. It weighs 4,158 pounds. You have to see it to realize the size. Each year the club brings in their thresh-
ing machines to thresh grain. Last year Armand Cordonier brought in a small threshing machine and Stan Pollard brought in the club’s binder. Art Gavel of Vernon brought a small plane that was manufactured in 1919 for use in the First World War, and intends to donate the plane to the Air Museum in Edmonton. If you are interested in learning where there are other tractor or pioneer events in Western Canada and Washington, or would like to become a member, contact Bruce Taylor at 250-260-2755.

Tigers in rebuild mode
S
teve Latimer was walking like he had just ran the Kelowna Apple Marathon, backwards. It was Friday morning. He tweaked a muscle or two on game night Thursday at Wesbild Centre. The guy is a warrior who loves lacrosse. He's a 19-year veteran with the senior C Vernon Tigers, and he's concerned about the team's future as his career winds down. Latimer, who works up at Silver Star Mountain Resort, was pleasantly surprised when 18 players showed up for the Okanagan X-treme Lacrosse League game with the Armstrong Shamrocks. The Tigers upset the firstplace Shamrocks, who struck silver at provincials last year, and with the help of some key junior call-ups, are looking good again this season. Latimer says the team's volunteer and fan base has dwindled from past years, where the Royals, who secured major Kevin Mitchell sponsorship dollars from Danny Miller and Royal Volkswagen, drew 1,500 to the annual Challenge Cup against the Shamrocks. "We've got to pick it up," said Latimer. "We can't win with 12 guys. We need more of a commitment from players and we can always use more volunteers and sponsors. "Armstrong almost folded a few years ago so we know we can make things better by working hard. The Village Green Hotel has been fantastic to us and it would be nice to show a winner for them. The ladies do an awesome job of washing and folding our jerseys and the hotel gives us some rooms for out of town players." Latimer praises team director Pat Bonin for his tireless efforts. The Tigers will miss Bonin when he and his wife, Lori, head to Jordan in August for a two-year teaching stint. "A lot of money has come out of Pat's pockets this year and that's not fair." The junior B Re/Max Tigers, who get excellent coaching from Rich Zecchel and Bryan Klein, won a provincial silver last year and are leading their league again this season. Unfortunately, past relationships between the senior and junior teams were strained. The Tigers,
BETWEEN THE LINES
not wanting to risk injury to their players, are reluctant to send a player up for a senior game or two. Zecchel said he would be willing to look into sending veterans like Braidy Webb or Blake Lewis up for the remaining senior games. Those players represent the future of the senior game in town. Zecchel was an all-star goalie back in the day when the Tigers won three straight national senior B (President's Cup) titles. The town loved the ultratalented Cats, who brought in top Coastal talent like Zecchel, Gary and Danny Holte and Bill Kirkland. Old Civic Rink was rocking from 1976-78 as the Tigers got 100-point seasons from the Holte brothers and local hero Jeff Shirley. There were 3,000 fans there in '78 when Vernon clipped the Sherwood Park Caps in the national final. Jeff Connauton, one of the league's top referees these days, jumpstarted the senior team in 1991 after the Tigers' glory years were over. The Tigers may never duplicate those years, but they can strive for excellence in a town where minor lacrosse is thriving under some superb coaches. In a perfect world, Latimer and the senior Tigers would call the junior Re/Max Tigers and dress a few players when they are missing guys due to work commitments. "I know Rich has his reasons," said Latimer. "I know it used to be a gong show with guys trying to take guys' heads off, but there is more respect now. Guys realize they all have families and have to work the next day." The Tigers-Shamrocks rivalry goes back almost five decades, and the better the talent level, the better the rivalry. Getting Shane Sargent, a fourth-round draft pick of the pro National Lacrosse League Chicago Machine in 2006, from Ontario, was huge for the senior Tigers this year. Seeing junior Tiger grad and Nanaimo Timbermen senior A draft Steve Clark go play for the Shamrocks this year was tough. It's up to Latimer and Neil Gardner and the rest of the senior veterans to keep the team moving in the right direction so junior grads want to play in their hometown. If you want to help them, the team's annual general meeting is Wednesday night at the Village Green Hotel. They will be voting on a new executive.
Greene seeks hockey change KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
North Okanagan Minor Hockey Association president Bill Greene wants to see Rep players choose where and which cities they represent. Greene, in his sixth year as head of the 217-player Armstrong/Enderby association, will present a resolution calling for free movement of all-star players, at the BC Hockey general meetings next weekend in Prince George. "Minor hockey players should be able to play at the highest calibre, regardless of age, and while boundaries are necessary, they should not prevent a player from playing up if they're capable of playing up," Greene told The Morning Star. He said North Okanagan's relationship with Greater Vernon Minor Hockey Association the past few years has "opened up six spots for kids to play Rep instead of House." Greene, in his resolution, says players need incentives to want to get better. He wonders if his association is wise spending $25,000 on extra skills and power skating clinics if their players aren't allowed to progress to the highest level possible. "Why would a player who is 13 years old living in Kelowna as a member of BC Hockey have any more opportunity to play at a higher lever (Tier 1) than a player 13 years old living in Enderby when they both pay the same membership fee to BC Hockey,
yet the kid from Enderby can only play to a Tier 3 level? "Shouldn't membership of an organization be equal for the same amount of money? Does where a player live determine how good a player that person is? We all agree that Tier 1 is the highest level of hockey that is recognized by BC Hockey. Shouldn't all members (assuming we are all equal) be allowed to challenge for a spot on a team of a higher classification if the association hosting that level is willing to let them try out?" Greene writes that BC Hockey seems to recognize that with Major Midget where anyone can try out. He notes in his resolution that John Gardner, president of the Greater Toronto Hockey League, had a motion on the floor of their June 19 annual general meeting that a player is a free agent and can play wherever they want provided an association is willing to accept that player and the player does not owe any monies to their previous organization. "He has been a strong advocate for free movement of players for many years and also has the support of Hockey Canada's President Bob Nicholson. Bob, while attending and speaking at the BC Hockey AGM, two years ago told the BC Hockey Membership to do what they could to support less restrictive movement of players." Greene, 55, hopes to get support from minor hockey presidents throughout the Interior.

John Orton's second hat trick of the season gave Vernon Toyota a 6-3 win over the Vernon Liquor Store Camels in an Okanagan Men's 35+ Soccer League makeup game Thursday night at Marshall Field. The Camels' Rick Danyluk opened the scoring in the fourth minute off a through ball, beating Toyota keeper Colin McDonnell. Toyota drew even on a penalty kick by Eric Ladner after Orton was hauled down inside the 18. John Orton scored 10 minutes later off a feed from Ladner. Mark Budgen made it 3-1 when he tipped in his first of the year off a cross by Mike Sandstra. The Camels pressured Toyota early in the second half and were rewarded by an own goal when a cross from the left side deflected in off a Toyota defender. Orton struck again five minutes later when Marty Steele sent him in alone on Camel keeper Mike Moorlag. Bryan Schenker scored for the Camels when his shot from just outside the 18 deflected off a Toyota defenders' back and into the net. The turning point of the game came with 15 minutes left when Schenker had an opportunity to equalize when he was fouled inside the 18 and was

Vernon Stars defeated Kelowna 2-1 with goals from (The Flying Scotsman) Richard Hay, early in each half. On both occasions Hay beat one of the best senior goalies in the league, Chris Turbitt, just inside the post. The Stars are 6-3-1.

Tigers shock Shamrocks Morning Star Staff
Once they introduced one another in a surprisingly crowded dressing room, the Vernon Tigers went out and stunned the Armstrong Shamrocks 8-5 in Okanagan X-treme Lacrosse League action Thursday night at Wesbild Centre. Team scoring leader Shane Sargent, a fourth-round Chicago Machine pick in the pro National Lacrosse League 2006 draft, scored twice and added one assist for the 2-6 Tigers. Sargent has 14 goals on the season. First-place Armstrong dropped to 6-3. "The big thing was we had 18 runners," said 19-year Vernon veteran Steve Latimer. "Coming into the dressing room and seeing 18 guys for the first time in two weeks, we thought we had a chance. It was a big change from our usual 12." The Tigers welcomed back slick Jess Villeneuve and defensive specialist Ryan Minchenko, signed Kelowna junior grad Darcy Gordon, and used Armstrong junior call-up Kasmer Boudreau in a game they led 7-3 after two periods. It was 2-2 after one. "We had a hot second period and you could see the guys were having fun and smiling," said Latimer. "We kept working harder and the smiles kept coming." Latimer, Trevor McEachnie, Tyler Plante, birthday boy Amrit Dhoot, Gordon and Andrew Hamilton also scored for the Tigers, who got a 33-save showing from Glen Clissold. Gordon's first goal as a Tiger came when Cody Yetter poked a loose ball down the side boards to a speeding Gordon, who went top shelf on a breakaway, beating Chad Pieper. "Clissold played great," said Latimer. "He didn't get the 60-plus shots he's been used to getting." Tiger captain Kirk Krause, who has been clicking well with Sargent, drew four assists. He now has 4-11-15 on the season. Steven Clark, back after a twoweek stint with the Western Lacrosse Association Nanaimo Timbermen, led the Shamrocks with two goals. He also took a slashing major in the first period which led to a pair of Vernon powerplay goals. "We have to give full credit to Vernon tonight," said Shamrock head coach Ken McGregor. "They outhustled us on loose balls and on the forecheck, and clearly

Armstrong Shamrocks’ runner Kriss Yargeau releases the ball just as the Vernon Tigers’ Jess Villeneuve tracks him down during Okanagan X-treme Lacrosse League play Thursday night at Wesbild Centre. The Tigers upset the ‘Rocks 8-5. wanted the win more than us tonight. "We transitioned the poorest I've seen all year and it was just a barrage of unforced turnovers that left us trying to play defence a lot more than playing offence." Marc Wagner, Brett Heitman and Nathan Strohm also scored for the Shamrocks. Dan Giger chipped in with two assists. Strohm leads the Irish with eight goals. Shawn Arnold of the Tigers and Shaun Koenig of the Shamrocks received majors for a minor wrestling match in the third period. Vernon was missing sniper Tanner Skolrood (work commitments), while Armstrong was without hard-hitting Devin (Big Country) Rodger, who was serving his first game of a two-game suspension. Both teams next play Friday night when the Tigers visit the Kelowna Warriors and the Shamrocks meet the Rattlers in Kamloops. "We are going to have to re-focus for next Friday in Kamloops as that is the most important game of the year and most important two points to keep us on top of the league," added McGregor.
Meanwhile, the Kelowna Raiders moved into a first-place tie with Armstrong as they manhandled the Kamloops Rattlers 13-5 Friday night at Memorial Arena in Kelowna. With the game tied at the end of the first period, the Raiders exploded for five goals to throw the Rattlers off balance in the second.

The Armstrong Jr. Shamrocks are hoping to hit their playoff stride at just the right time. A week after suffering a forgettable loss to the Kamloops Rattlers, the young Irish rebounded with a solid effort Friday night to earn a 6-6 draw with the Kelowna Warriors at Nor-Val Sports Centre. Leading 5-2 after two periods, Armstrong (4-81) struggled to protect the lead, but overall, head coach Pat Nelson was pleased with the effort. “Our guys played a hard, intense game,” said Nelson, a veteran with the Sr. Shamrock squad. “Just a couple defensive lapses and we let them back in the game. “It was a nice change coming off that game in

It was good to see them step it up and play a great game as we’ll be heading into playoffs soon.” Sniper Logan Strohm led the Armstrong attack with a pair of goals, singles coming from Stephen Ringdal, Brayden Bridge, Jordan Norstrom and Jarrett Medhurst. Sheldon Nelson chipped in with three assists in support of netminder Quinn Braybrook. The Warriors improved to 7-3-2.

Kelowna’s Jeff Richard won’t have far to travel when his rink defends its provincial title at the Canadian Direct Insurance Men’s Curling Championship next winter. The Vernon Curling Club will repeat as host of the event, which goes Feb. 7-13, 2011. Curl BC also announced men’s and women’s championships will have a new playdown structure for the 2010-11 season on a two-year trial basis. The most notable change within this new structure is the elimination of the men’s Coastal and Interior championships. This will remove the additional qualification step that only the men have been required to complete in the past. The changes comes after a 10-month review of the playdown structure by Curl BC’s performance
committee. The process included researching other provincial structures, surveying Curl BC member facilities and curlers and analyzing the current system.

Doors open to opportunities Morning Star Staff
Students in the Vernon School District’s alternate programs took many roads to graduation and they will go their separate ways afterwards but they gathered together to celebrate their achievement at a ceremony at the Schubert Centre Monday. There were 44 graduates in the Open Door, Cross Roads and V-Learn programs this year with 20 present at the ceremony. “We have students from age 17 to in their 40s and I know some of the hardships they’ve gone through to get here. It chokes me up when I think of the time, energy and work they have put in,” said Bruce Weitzel, alternate learning principal. “These students were focused and they all have plans for the future. Some are working already and others are going on to further education in a vari-
ety of careers. We have had thousands of students graduate through the alternate programs over the years.” School board chairman Bill Turanski greeted the graduates. “I applaud you for your perseverance and dedication in achieving your goal. I want to encourage you to continue your learning,” he said. The valedictorian during the event was Sebastian Kirklon. “We thank the school district for having these psrograms,” he said. “We all worked hard and had good help. I’m proud of myself and I’m proud of everyone else here graduating,” he said. The graduates received awards and scholarships at the ceremony.

Happy Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day to all the dads out there. Our modern Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day celebrations began in Canada around 1913, coming from our neighbours to the south. Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day often is the official start to the summer barbecue season, especially for grilling the types of foods that men seem to particularly relish. Red meats like steaks, whole racks of ribs, homemade thick burgers, kebabs made with more meat than vegetables, and potato salads instead of lettuce. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipes will be perfect for your next gathering where men with hearty appetites will be present. Whole Boneless Pork Tenderloin 5-6 lb. pork tenderloin Olive oil 6-8 garlic cloves, peeled Salt and freshly ground pepper 1/2 cup fresh sage, chopped To prepare meat: cut 6 to 8, one-inch deep slits into meat on fat side of tenderloin: insert garlic cloves. Rub olive oil over entire roast. Season all sides with salt and pepper. Sprinkle sage evenly over entire roast. Place tenderloin into open grill pan, fatside up. Place on grill over indirect heat, opposite coals. Temperature should be kept between 350 F to 375 F. Close lid and cook for about 2 hours (internal temperature should be minimum 160-165 degrees F). When done, flip fat side of tenderloin directly onto coals; cover top with piece of foil to keep moisture in. Close lid and allow to cook 5 minutes. Meanwhile tear off large sheet of foil; when 5 minutes is up, remove roast to foil and wrap tightly. Leave 20 to 30 minutes to rest. Slice and serve. Serves 10. Larryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best Barbecued Ribs 2 racks baby back ribs (regular ribs also work) 1 clove garlic, minced 1 medium onion, minced 5 tbsp. butter 2-1/2 cups ketchup 1/2 cup dark corn syrup 1/2 cup honey 1/2 cup pineapple juice 1/3 cup cider vinegar 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed 2 tbsp. spicy mustard w/horseradish 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 1 tbsp. chili powder 2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. cayenne pepper 1 tsp. liquid smoke 1/2 tsp. black pepper Melt butter in large pot. Add garlic and onions. Cook over low heat until onions are

Stir in remainder of ingredients (except ribs). Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool completely. Cut each rib in half. Place in large pan and pour the sauce over ribs. Cover with foil and place in preheated 190 F oven for 9 hours (yes, 9!) Can use slow cooker for this stage if you like. Remove from oven. Discard drippings or save for another use. Transfer ribs to grill or place under broiler for about 10 minutes. May be refrigerated and grilled later. Serve with extra sauce. Suggestion: Pour drippings through sieve and bring to boil. Lightly brush slices of ciabatta or other Italian bread on both sides with drippings. Place on grill to toast, turning over midway through. Top with chopped sundried tomato, gorgonzola cheese and fresh chopped parsley. Barbecued Beef Rump Roast 4-6 lb. rump roast of beef 6 cloves garlic Olive oil
Onion powder Salt and pepper Montreal Steak spice 6 large sprigs of fresh thyme 6 slices bacon 3/4 cup red wine 1/4 cup soy sauce Cut slits evenly spaced in roast and place cloves of garlic into each one. Rub entire roast with olive oil. Sprinkle with onion powder, salt and pepper on all sides. Repeat with Montreal Steak spice. Place large sheet of foil in metal pan. Place 3 sprigs of thyme in centre of foil followed by 3 slices of bacon. Pour wine and soy sauce into foil. Place spiced roast on top of thyme and bacon. Top roast with remaining thyme and bacon. Carefully seal roast in foil, so no juices can escape. Place on grill with indirect heat on both sides. Temperatures should range from 325 to 350 F. Close lid and cook for about 2 hours. Half way through cooking, turn roast over in pan. When done, remove from heat

The Vernon Home Building Centre has donated the grand prize for this year’s annual Special Olympics and Venture Training Charity Golf Spectacular on July 2 and 3. The $50,000 prize consisting of a $25,000 home improvement credit and $25,000 cash will go to the winner of the hole-in-one contest. The Home Building Centre has also donated a barbecue for the winner of the hole-in-one contest qualifier. This fundraising event taking place at the Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club goes to benefit the Vernon chapter of Special Olympics British Columbia. The money will help the program cover costs for venues, equipment and travel. Vernon has 110 athletes participating in the Special Olympics program, nine of whom play golf. “Golf is a sport that is enjoyed by so many in the community,” said Karen Truesdale, the golf program’s coach.

One of the event’s organizers, Barb Bradford, said they are hoping for about 100 teams, and there is still room for a few more. “There are lots of
prizes,” said Bradford. “Golfers can win for lowest gross, longest drive and landing on the green.” Teams are also invited to dress up for the chance to win best costume. There will be a silent auction on both days

Honouring the bucket list
W
hat are you going to do after graduation? What are you going to be when you grow up? What are you studying at university? College? What are your plans? It seems that every time I am out in the community with my son he is asked about his plans for post-high school. He’s of the age to transition into adulthood and responsibility, getting on with life. So far it looks like Michele Blais more school, some adventure, not quite certain on a career yet, different ideas. I wonder how many of us who have supposedly grown up were clear at 18 of what we wanted. I originally went to university with the idea of going into law; social work; psychologist. I really wanted to work overseas as well and work in emerging countries assisting in developing businesses. My first dream was to be a dress designer like Edith Head, for the movies or television. As a young woman I designed, made, re-made clothes all the time. My walls were filled with my ideas and magazine pictures and gained practical experience in the drama club working
THE WAY I SEE IT
behind the scenes with costumes and production. Mom really discouraged me, and not to be mean, but she didn’t think I had the talent and I guess it was hard to fathom that a girl from Strathroy would be a designer in Hollywood. She couldn’t connect the dots and she was also very practical so off I went to the University of Western Ontario instead of Ryerson. She was right, I didn’t have the talent. At the age of 25 I lived in Los Angeles and had a few good friends who worked in the movie business: one as a producer, another as a film editor, a couple of writers and actors. I couldn’t tell them about my dream so I guess I had laid it to rest. I wish I had then had the confidence I do now, because I think I would have tried something in that field. Sometimes the realities are smaller versions of an original. LA Shelley’s was a beach store I opened in Grand Bend selling my own designs of beach clothes and T-shirts. It was fun, I learned a great deal and had my ego stroked by seeing my logo on chests and behinds. A couple of months ago the darling and I made a bucket list: that list of “want-to-do’s before I kick the bucket.” On large paper with magic markers we wrote out a variety of ideas, from trips, to books, revisiting old friends, business ideas, courses to be studied, mountains
to climb. It was fun and very interesting to see what we want to do, and how those ideas will cross over each other’s list or remain independent. When I look through college and university calendars the choices are endless. There are some fabulous programs to study and will they land gainful employment? Maybe, maybe not. That’s important as well to be able to support yourself and family. It is great that our local Okanagan College or UBCO offer so many options. It can be a real challenge to go from the fine trimmings of your parent’s home to the realities of life in an apartment with a limited budget for food and entertainment. Many of us I think have made career choices based on finances or daily living realities. Perhaps believing with enough money we would find rewards. We spend so much time at work so it is important to enjoy your choice and to have it fulfilling on many levels So as we explore the future for our children and they do their assessments of likes and dislikes, career research, set goals, consider your own future. Many of us will change careers several times in our lifetime and so will our kids. When being practical in planning, don’t forget the dreams. What would your own bucket list look like?

Do I have additional health risks taking my dog to the dog park?
Two diseases we are seeing much more frequently than we have in previous years are: 1} pediculosis (infestation with lice) and 2} Kennel cough; a bacterial or viral respiratory infection in dogs. I think part of the reason we see this is the popularity of local dog parks. If you enjoy the dog parks you can easily minimize the risk of your pet contracting or transmitting these diseases with simple, safe, effective prevention. Excellent vaccines are available from your Veterinarian to prevent Kennel Cough and lice can be easily avoided by a simple monthly parasite treatment. — Dr. Lemiski

Econoline Crush plays Club 2929 JESSICA SCHWITEK Morning Star Staff
The “dirty disco” sound of Econoline Crush is making its way to Vernon. The Manitoba rock band is scheduled to play Club 2929 on June 27. They are touring Western Canada before they head to Los Angeles to start recording their new album. “It’s an effort to get our mojo and swagger back,” said lead singer Trevor Hurst. Econoline Crush has been flying below the radar for some time now with band members working on other projects, but the original line-up is back together, and they are ready and excited about the path that lay in front of them. “We’re doing it for the right reasons now,” said Hurst. “We just want to make cool music and have fun doing it.” Originally formed in 1992, Econoline Crush has put out five albums, including the Juno-nominated, platinumselling The Devil You Know. The album produced hits like All That You Are, and made them regulars on radio, music television, and live music venues across the country. But the band was quite dormant for a while, and there was much speculation that they were on permanent hiatus.
“When you make a record, you have a game plan,” said Hurst. But the turbulent nature of the music industry caused “certain people” to scrap the plan. “It wasn’t like being in a rock band anymore, it became more like a job,” said Hurst. He added that it was then that the band decided to “pause” for a while. “We were a little disenchanted.” Now, several years later, the band has decided to take control over the game plan themselves. “It’s a do-it-yourself game now,” said Hurst. “You don’t have to follow a set plot line.” That may mean playing smaller venues, more often like Club 2929, but Hurst and the band don’t mind. “The reception is often more enthusiastic and more genuine,” said Hurst of the club shows. “It’s more what rock ‘n‘ roll should be.” And locals will get the chance to see exactly what he means. Hurst is very committed to making sure the audience has as much fun as the band. “It’s like being the ringleader of a circus to make sure everyone has a good night,” said Hurst. “It isn’t just about us. It’s a shared experience.” Take the opportunity to share in the experience and check out Econoline Crush at Club 2929 at 7 p.m. on June 27.

Vernon artist wins singer-songwriter contest JESSICA SCHWITEK Morning Star Staff
Local singer-songwriter Jodi Pederson continues to add to her list of accolades. She has just taken first place in an international singer-songwriter competition for a song called No Sleep off her debut album Seasons. Pederson, who is known to write emotionally charged-lyrics, drew on her personal experiences to compose this song. “I was just really missing my boyfriend,” said Pederson, who wrote No Sleep while recording in Toronto. It was the heartfelt lyrics inspired by that period in her life that inspired the judges at We Are Listening, the organization that held the songwriting competition. Lior Shamir, judge and We Are Listening founder, praised Pederson saying that “The song, and its songstress’ vocal deliver, won me over.” “It’s kinda cool,” said Pederson of her latest achievement. We Are Listening chose six winning songs, and have six exciting prizes for the artists, including an exclusive recording session with producer Steve Williams in London, England.

Local singer Jodi Pederson recently won an international singer/songwriter contest for her song No Sleep. She will be performing in Vernon on Canada Day at Polson Park. Williams has worked with several worldrenowned artists such as Sting, Eric Clapton, and Seal. The other prizes are a one-week songwriting retreat in Stockholm, Sweden, tele-
vision and film placement, an eight-week U.S. college and community radio promotion, record mixing and mastering, and CD duplication. Pederson has not yet been told which
prize she will be receiving, but she is hoping for one in particular. “There’s definitely some stuff there that I need, but recording with Steve Williams would be really cool,” she said. Raised in Vernon, Pederson went to Toronto after being discovered in a small town in Saskatchewan by Jack Lenz. Lenz is an acclaimed producer and composer, who is famous for writing the music for Mel Gibson’s film The Passion of the Christ. Since then Pederson has been touring around, charming audiences with her folk, rock, pop sound. “I’m sort of Norah Jones meets Sarah McLachlan,” she said. Seasons also features a couple of rock covers, including Neil Young’s Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World. Pederson has plans to start recording her second album in Toronto soon, and she will be touring around B.C. and the U.S. until then. But she will be back in Vernon on Canada Day, July 1, to perform at the free concert in Polson Park. To hear Pederson’s music, go to www. myspace.com/jodipedersonmusic.

could go wrong? Teaming a child actor as traditionally stiff as Smith with Jackie Chan? A gamble. But in this, a magical against-all-odds tale, whaddaya know? It works. The late Pat Morita was the heart of this franchise; a soft heart, a calm demeanour, and a surprisingly effective butt-kicking exterior. Given that, Chan is actually a good fit. He has a handful of kidfriendly features already under his (black?) belt....we know he has a cuddly side....and butt kicking? Please. He’s Jackie Chan. In this, the new Karate Kid, the scene shifts from California to Beijing, where 12-yearold Dre (Smith) is tormented by a gang of menacing students under the guidance of an overly aggressive kung-fu master. Enter kind Mr. Han (Chan), a mild-mannered custodian who agrees to train Dre to take on the thugs in a tournament, but along the way, teaches him the real meaning of respect.

“Evidence” which linked autism with vaccines has now been totally refuted. The medical journal Lancet announced it is totally retracting the erroneous research paper from public record. The offending study involved only 12 children and the results were presented in a dishonest and erroneous manner. In summary, there is no proven link between autism and immunization. Honey and table sugar contain the same ingredients: Fructose and glucose. One is not healthier than the other. One tablespoon of sugar contains 64 calories while the same amount of honey contains 46 calories. However, since honey contains some water, it takes a bit more honey to give the same amount of sweetness as sugar. Although A.S.A. has been around for over a century and is often said to be important in preventing heart attacks, it doesn’t mean that everyone should take one ASA tablet a day. The drug has been proven to help prevent a second heart attack but studies on its preventing a first heart attack are dismal. Always check with your doctor first before adding ASA to your list of daily medications. We mentioned a couple of weeks ago about the importance of ensuring your EpiPen is well within its expiry date. It is also important to know how to use it if an emergency allergy arises. If you or a family member have a serious allergy and you aren’t sure how to use the pen, our pharmacists will be happy to show you. Summertime brings a whole group of potential health problems, like allergies, poison ivy, sunburn and swimmer’s itch. Our pharmacists are knowledgeable about all of these problems and can help you avoid or relieve them.

alling all book lovers. As the school year draws to a close, libraries all over the province are gearing up for another summer of contests, activities, prizes, and most of all – reading. For schoolaged children (finished kindergarten and older), the Summer Reading Club provides encouragement to keep reading through the summer. “Studies have shown that good reading habits benefit children in the summer. Summer Reading Clubs help maintain reading levels during the summer holiday break,” said Vernon youth services Librarian Monica
Gaucher. Just as important, however, is that children have fun at the library and have plenty of opportunity to choose the books and activities they want. This year’s Summer Reading Club Maureen Curry theme is Reading Rocks. With many special activities planned during the month of July, including workshops, crafts, weekly book prizes, contests and loads of fun. Children who join the Club will receive a reading record, as well as stickers as they

There are many free programs to choose from (all require preregistration), beginning with a cartooning workshop on July 3. A rhythmic art program follows on July 7, and the Ali-Kazam magic show on July 8. Grimble the Storyteller is scheduled to visit the library, and staff from the Okanagan Science Centre drop by later in the month with a funfilled program about light and sound. For more information about these and the other exciting programs on the calendar, visit the Vernon library in person and pick up

Institute makes market for ideas CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
The Okanagan Institute started with a simple premise â&#x20AC;&#x201D; bring interesting people together to talk about issues and ideas, news and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new, what has been happening and what happens next. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had no idea there were so many interesting people in the Okanagan when I moved here,â&#x20AC;? Robert MacDonald, Okanagan Institute founder and director, and publisher in residence at the Kalamalka Campus of Okanagan College. He has made it the business of the institute to seek out those interesting people, introduce them to each other and the public and let them inspire each other. MacDonald, who has a background in publishing and some other thought-provoking activities, moved to the Okanagan 12 year ago to teach at Okanagan College. He started with the Kelowna Roundtable, a group of retired professionals and reached out from there. Now the Okanagan Institute hosts regular presentations in Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton, sponsors arts events and publishes books and magazines, while encouraging creativity in all fields of endeavour. The newsletter subscription list has grown to 4,500 in three years. MacDonald shared some of his own experiences in the creative economy in his talk, The Case for the Creative Economy, at the Kalamalka CafĂŠ at the Kalamalka Campus of Okanagan College Wednesday. A typographer by trade, he has never ceased to fascinated with the written word. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In English we have 26 symbols and we have built this world in 26 symbols,â&#x20AC;? he said. He counts himself fortunate to have had several inspirational mentors in his career, which has included
working in advertising and, he laughs when he relates the story, having the distinction of having invented decorated Kleenex boxes. He also worked with Marshall McLuhan at the University of Toronto and Yuri Rubinsky, who developed SGML, rules for encoding documents in machine-readable form. MacDonald went on to start a number of publishing, media and graphic arts projects across the country and work for Random House publishing. He founded the Banff Publishing Workshop and then worked on the first Internet provider service in Canada at BCIT, as well as on product development for international companies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The creative economy is people involved in the production and distribution of goods and services in which the aesthetic, intellectual and emotional engagement of the user gives the product value in the market place,â&#x20AC;? he said. He sees the creative economy doing well

Ingenuity a hot commodity Continued from B10 in the Okanagan with plenty of room for growth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Individuals originate creative ideas and concepts, individually and collaboratively. Some farmers are as creative as any dancer and creativity includes the non-profits and businesses that distribute creative products.â&#x20AC;? MacDonald noted that one of the leading motorcycle manufacturers in the world, who has exhibited handbuilt motorcycles in art galleries, works in the Okanagan, and so do fashion designers and more than 5,000 graphic designers, as well as thousands more creative people. He sees a trend for creative people to work independently and on a contract basis for money or equity in the project, because they value being free agents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How do you measure intellectual capital? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a struggle for all creative people who sell the contents of their imagination and experience. From the surface, the big players are visible but it depends on an army of smaller players. Artistic creativity, the ability to solve problems of all kinds, is the cornerstone.â&#x20AC;? While the creative economy will evolve by getting better, rather than bigger, it is critical that creative talent be nurtured by community and business as they pool resources. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Okanagan is showing an interest in creative industry and that is not just a business park next to a technology campus. It involves the whole community where people live, work and create and consume cultural products. This includes culinary arts, which I think is the number one creative industry in the valley even though we do a really bad job of supporting our local farmers. Food is a dominant part of our culture and other creative industries should be working in concert
â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of good ideas come from people who do something else during the day.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Robert MacDonald with it. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only at the beginning of creating and expanding social, economic and cultural networks. Co-creation, formal and informal, is very important here,â&#x20AC;? said MacDonald. A more sophisticated, educated consumer is part of the equation, as are places for creative people, especially creative young people to gather and share and develop ideas. This could take the form of publicly supported drop-in cen-
tres to research and find partners for their creative ideas. There should also be a change in how intellectual property is understood and valued with a new, co-creative dynamic between creator and consumer. He thinks this model might include a free, ondemand product with value added which has to be paid for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of good ideas come from people who are doing something else during the day and
want to do something else at night and they need to meet. The media and other industries are being re-invented and opportunities are being created at phenomenal speed. Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to figure out how I can work with other people to facilitate the notion of a creative economy in the Okanagan,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Okanagan Institute presents Showcase, with a variety of topics and speakers, alternate Wednesdays at the Kalamalka Campus at 5 p.m. Admission is $2. The June 23 topic is Nature Up Close & Personal with Roseanne Van Ee and Dave Smith. For more information see www.okanaganinstitute.com.

SQM Group dials up recognition GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
They are one of the largest employers in Vernon, yet most wouldn’t even know they exist. Tucked away in a commercial building off 23rd Street, Service Quality Measurement (SQM) Group has been operating a call centre benchmarking service for the last 10 years. Owner Mike Desmarais originally started SQM with a staff of six – his wife and a handful of neighbours – in Calgary in 1996. He has since built the company up to a staff of more than 100 highly-trained employees that survey more than one million customers that phone a call centre a year. They also conduct 25,000 surveys with call centre employees every year. In a nutshell, SQM is a call centre for call centres. Their job is to improve and certify world class first call resolution (FCR), employee satisfaction (Esat) and customer satisfaction (Csat) performers. With a client list of more than 450 high-profile companies in a wide range of professional fields – including ICBC, BC Hydro, National Bank, Rogers Communications, Blue Cross and CP Rail – SQM has become an industry leader.

growth and more.” Many clubs also provide meals, emergency shelter, family support programs and other support to children, youth and families at risk. “Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs have been helping young people discover, develop and achieve their potential since 1959,” said Turvey.

YOU AND THE LAW PASSING DOWN THE FAMILY COTTAGE By Janice Mucalov, LL.B. Owning a cabin on a lake, ski chalet or farmhouse in the country is a dream that many Canadians have been fortunate enough to realize over the past few decades. And many of a family’s most precious memories are often those of summer or winter holidays spent at the cabin or cottage, with everyone’s children growing up together. What sometimes gets overlooked – especially with waterfront property or high-profile destinations (Whistler comes to mind) – is that the substantial increase in value of recreational property over time can have painful tax consequences. Without advance planning, this can come as a nasty and expensive surprise to the next-generation heirs and may even result in the unwanted (but unavoidable) sale of the property to cover the cost of the substantial capital gains tax. There are several ways to address this tax burden. They include:

Typical issues include: • cost-sharing (e.g., taxes, utilities, insurance and repairs) if the children use the property unequally • allocating use times fairly (e.g., rotating use time annually so each family gets to use the place during the most desirable time of the year) • decision-making, both in respect of day-today matters and bigger items like major capital expenditures, financing or even selling the property • dispute resolution mechanisms when there are different views (e.g., whether to renovate or not) • an exit strategy in case of irreconcilable differences (e.g., a joint sale as a last resort, at the instance of any unhappy party, with a right of first refusal to match a purchase offer made by a third party if other family members want to keep the property.)

A puffin sits on a rocky cliff on the Orkney Islands. The islands, which are off the coast of Scotland, are known for their wildlife and particularly sea birds.
A land of enchantment JAMIE ROSS
Special To The Morning Star
SCOTLAND - It seemed a mysterious, enchanting and magical place. I stood alone amongst the standing stones known as The Ring of Bodgar. A tour bus had just departed, taking with it a throng of tourists. I had the place briefly to myself. The sun was low in the late afternoon sky, throwing long shadows from the weather-worn, textured stones and reflecting golden off the Loch of Stenness behind. The ground had the feel of history. I stood wondering what ancient ceremonies had taken place here. The Ring of Bodgar is simply astonishing, a perfect circle of megaliths, the third-largest stone circle in the British Isles measuring over 100 metres in diameter, the slabs themselves up to 14 feet high. There are 36 stones remaining of an original 60, thought to date back to 3000 - 2000 BC. The Ring of Bodgar sums up the majesty of the remote, windswept Orkney Islands, a humble archipelago of 70 tiny isles off the northeast coast of Scotland, that have long stood guard and protected the JAMIE ROSS PHOTO Scottish mainland. The Ring of Bogdar is a perfect circle of megaliths, the third The islands rise precipi- largest stone circle in the British Isles. tously from the sea in steepsided splendour, and are beset with barren soil. The quiet ery, abundance of wildlife, by fierce weather and cursed sandy beaches, stunning scen- bird and sea life, fresh quality
cuisine and warm welcoming hospitality make these islands an ideal place for relaxing or for an action-packed holiday. Perhaps most impressively, the Islands have archeological wonders around every corner. Just north of the Ring of Bodgar, Skara Brae stands as the most well-preserved prehistoric village in northern Europe, dating back over 5,000 years. It was only discovered in 1850 when a winter storm revealed the structures. The stone dwellings are separated by covered passages and each one holds nearly identical stone beds, dressers, seats and boxes for provisions, recesses for personal possessions and a hearth where dried heather or seaweed was burned. Maeshowe, one of the world’s greatest neolithic chamber tombs, is older than the Egyptian pyramids. A long passageway made out of large stone slabs leads into a beehive shaped inner chamber. This chamber was reused by the Vikings as a tomb in the 9th century. Like modern-day graffiti artists, the Vikings carved their lover’s names on the chamber walls. Another neolithic tomb is the Tomb of Eagles, managed by the farmer on whose property it was found.

Eagle bones and talons are found in it along with the bones of over three hundred people. Visitors can pull themselves into the tomb on a wheeled dolly. The Orkney Islands also boast some incredible modern history. As I had stood amongst the standing stones, so too, I dipped my feet into the cool ocean waters of Scapa Flow, strategically important during both world wars. The German high fleet was scuttled in here in 1919 and the Orkneys were given a new lease on life when Prime Minister Winston Churchill ordered the building of a series of barriers between the islands to block German U-boatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s access to Scapa Flow during the Second World War.

Barriers created five causeways that linked the largest of the islands and protected the British fleet. This huge civil engineering project was carried out by Italian prisoners of war who, in turn, left behind one of the most extraordinary objects in deeply Protestant Orkney, a lavishly decorated chapel. The Italian Chapel was built from the meagre resources available to the prisoners. Based on two corrugated iron Quonset huts placed end to end, it was painted inside in rich colours to resemble tiled mosaics. As a home base, I stayed at Brekk-Ness Guest House in Kirkwall, a well preserved ancient Norse town with road signs warning of otters crossing. Kirkwall is the capital and biggest town on the Orkney

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You won’t be looking for any financial recompense when asked to help out with a project.

Others will be so impressed at how easily you came up with them, and their acclaim will blow you away. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Chances are you will have to gain the confidence of someone whose support you need, which might not be easy. Although patience and sincerity will be essential, you can do it.

You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Even if you don’t normally confide in a certain person, if asked, don’t hesitate to discuss what’s been bothering you and keeping you so uptight. S/he may turn out to be a good confidante. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be patient and modify any hasty impulses before acting on them. Your goals are reachable at this time, but they might take doing things slowly, one step at a time.

Bridge by Phillip Alder The Senior Life Master was watching the rain pour down outside. “No wonder we had so many tables this afternoon,” he commented to the young man sitting with him. “No chance to play golf. “I remember a deal played on a day like this,” he continued. The SLM wrote down the North and South hands. “Constance ffosterSmythe was South, partnering her fiance, Clarence Comment. How did Constance make six spades after West led the diamond king?” While the young man thought, the SLM commented on the auction. To be honest (he continued), six spades is against the odds, needing
spades 3-2 and hearts 4-3. Also, on this lead, if West has three spades, he must have four hearts. Most Souths would respond one spade and jump to four spades on the second round. North, with three diamond losers and only one spade, would pass. Constance, though, started with a strong jump shift. And Clarence jumped to five spades to ask for a control in the unbid suit, diamonds. Constance, with a trump loser, could not afford a diamond loser. And if an opponent trumped in before she discarded both of her diamond losers, she would be down. She won the first trick and drew two rounds of trumps. Then she took dummy’s top hearts, throwing one
diamond, ruffed a heart in her hand, crossed to the board with a club, and called for another heart. If East had ruffed, Constance would have pitched her last diamond. And when he discarded, she ruffed, went back to the board in clubs, and threw her diamond nine on the high heart.

Wilson McPherson Hutchison April 11, 1925 – June 12, 2010 The family and friends of Wilson (Will) Hutchison are sad to announce his passing on Saturday June 12 at Heritage Square seniors’ residence. Wilson Hutchison was born in Morse, Saskatchewan in 1925 and established an early career with James Richardson and Sons in Winnipeg and Vancouver. In 1957 he met and married Jacoba (Jackie) Vander Hoek of Abbotsford. A few years later they moved to Vernon where Wilson has lived ever since. He served a variety of employers faithfully over the years including Seymour Equipment and the Village Green Mall. Wilson was active in community service with the Red Cross, Santas Anonymous and the John Howard Society. He and Jackie and their four children were longtime Coldstream residents where they welcomed visitors from near and far and maintained an extensive vegetable garden. A noted calorie burner all his life, Wilson greatly enjoyed dinners with his family. He also enjoyed attending Vipers games wearing his “lucky” hat. In earlier years, he was often seen at various grandchildren’s Saturday soccer games.
