Verdict nears in court case

TRUCK STOP

ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

One official predicts a verdict will come in the fall in the 14-month trial of five Vernon men believed to be associates of a gang the police call the Greeks.

Peter Manolakos, Jr., Dale Sipes, Sheldon O’Donnell, Leslie Podolski and Douglas Brownell are all facing murder and/or manslaughter charges in connection with the homicides of David Marniuk, Thomas Bryce and Ronald Thom in — Al Haslett the North Okanagan between 2004 and 2005.

All five pleaded not guilty on the opening day of their trial in May 2011.

“Legal arguments are now going on,” said RCMP Sgt. Al Haslett, one of the main investigators of the homicides.

“A schedule has to be set so Crown and defence can address the jury, then the judge will address a jury.

“I think sometime in September we’ll have a verdict.”

The trial is being held in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver in front of judge William Smart.

Haslett estimates close to 120 witnesses have taken the stand.

“Legal arguments are now going on.”

he said.

Other proposed changes to OkanaganShuswap would include moving the area between Blind Bay and Chase into Central Okanagan-Coquihalla and Chase into Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo.

Okanagan-Shuswap — which could become known as North OkanaganShuswap — would see its population go from 121,062 to 112,399. The average sought for each riding is 104,763.

Canada’s electoral districts are reviewed every 10 years by independent commissions to account for shifts and growth in the population.

“It’s a challenge when you come to the rural areas of B.C.,” said Stewart Ladyman, with the Electoral Boundaries Commission and a former Vernon resident.

“There’s decreasing population in rural

areas and increasing population in urban areas.”

Other factors considered when changing boundaries are communities of interest, history and geography.

Ladyman admits there may be concerns about shifting Falkland from OkanaganShuswap.

“We’re well aware of those types of discussions. We’re willing to listen to people and see if adjustments can be made,” he said.

There will be public input sessions Oct. 10 at 7 p.m. at the Kelowna Ramada Hotel and Oct. 11 at 7 p.m. at the Kamloops Convention Centre.

Those wanting to make a presentation at a hearing are requested to register by Aug. 30 at bc-cb@rfed-rcf.ca or by writing 1095 West Pender St., Suite 301, Vancouver, B.C., V6E 2M6.

News Investigators search for cause of crash ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

It could take awhile to fully determine what caused a Piper PA-23 twin engine airplane to crash in Vernon Saturday.

The aircraft took off from Vernon Airport shortly after 1 p.m. and crashed seconds later into neighbouring Marshall Field, bursting into flames upon contact with the ground.

The crash killed pilot James Langley, 59, of Kelowna, the registered owner of the airplane, and his passenger, Karim Makalai, 53, of Port Moody. “These investigations typically take a year,� said Bill Yearwood, regional manager for aviation with the Transportation Safety Board of Canada. “We’re supporting the coroner, and our report will be part of the coroner’s final report. If there’s anything we uncover that’s an immediate threat to aviation safety, we’ll release that information and make recommendations.�

Yearwood, who was in Vernon for 24 hours to investigate the accident site and the aircraft, said there were several facts that were immediately known.

Officials know the pair stopped in Vernon to refuel the aircraft, and they know which direction the plane took off from the airport.

The plane, said Yearwood, appeared to be operating normally on takeoff. “The takeoff run and profile was somewhat abnormal, in other words there was a long run and a steep climb then a bank, which is

Tragically, it hit hard enough and burst into flames.�

Ron Mack, an amateur photographer from Salmon Arm, was at the former Lakers Golf Course clubhouse, preparing for his neph-

ew’s wedding.

He was going out to his vehicle to retrieve more items for the wedding when he heard the sound of a plane sputtering. “I saw the nose of the plane pointing in the air and I couldn’t believe it,� said Mack. “The plane seemed to stall, then the nose came down. The pilot seemed to recover but the

wing caught a small tree. It cartwheeled and landed on its belly, and when it did that, it erupted into fire.�

Mack ran and got his camera and started snapping away. He got a photo of two unknown men trying in vain to put out the plane’s fire with fire extinguishers. “They sure put in a valiant effort,� said Mack of the unidenti-

Council airs Old Kamloops Road concerns RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

The prospect of a road being torn up year after year is ringing alarm bells.

There is a concern that once the Regional District of North Okanagan is done installing water lines on part of Old Kamloops Road this year, the City of Vernon could possibly initiate major road rehabilitation and a pedestrian trail in the next few years.

“For citizens, it creates more angst than anything,� said Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe of residents seeing a road ripped up over subsequent years.

O’Keefe insists there needs to be a process where all local jurisdictions come together and determine how projects can proceed in a timely and efficient manner. “We should be able to have a meeting of the minds,� she said.

That view also has the support of Coun. Juliette Cunningham.

“There’s a lack of co-ordination of planning,� she said. “Nobody is communicating. Maybe we can avoid these kinds of things in the future.�

Council has directed staff to assess the condition of Old Kamloops Road within city limits and determine the scope of rehabilitation work required once RDNO is finished with its water line project.

Staff will also investigate the feasibility of constructing a roadside trail from 43rd Avenue to Goose

Chaise Loungers

Lake Road. “It would require extensive fill and property acquisition,� said Shirley Koenig, operations manager, of a trail for pedestrians and cyclists.

The cost to reconstruct the remaining 65 per cent of Old Kamloops Road not disrupted by RDNO’s water work is about $385,000, while resurfacing from 43rd Avenue north 2.2 kilometres to the city boundary is about $250,000. The estimated cost for a trail is $280,000.

The fire destroyed a lot of the plane’s structure and covering, but Yearwood said there was still enough of the engines and parts of the propellers for investigators to have a look at.

Yearwood said the plane was quite an old aircraft, built in 1958, and did not describe it as a highperformance aircraft.

Armstrong man pleads guilty in U.S. court Morning Star Staff

An Armstrong helicopter pilot who pleaded guilty to smuggling drugs into the U.S. for organized crime groups will find out his sentence Oct. 5.

Henry Rosenau, 61, pled guilty to conspiracy to import marijuana in a Seattle court Wednesday.

The plea came hours before Rosenau was to go on trial.

According to a U.S. Attorney’s Office release, Rosenau, in his plea agreement, admits that between 2000 and 2005, he flew dozens of loads of marijuana into forested areas in western and eastern Washington, Idaho and Montana.

He also flew Canadians across the border into the U.S. to work as off-loaders and transporters for the

drug loads.

From the Pacific Northwest, the drugs were transported across the U.S. “Rosenau and his coconspirators thought they had the perfect plan to smuggle drugs into the U.S, but obviously they were mistaken,” said Brad Bench, special agent in charge of Homeland Securities Investigations in Seattle.

“Treacherous terrain, remote locations and the use of aircraft didn’t shield these criminals from justice.”

More than 40 people, including Rosenau, were indicted in connection with this case which saw U.S. and Canadian law enforcement teams intercept more than 17 drug loads.

Rosenau was first contacted by Canadian law enforcement in

2005 as he returned to Canada after delivering a load.

In the cockpit of

his helicopter, RCMP officers found a loaded handgun, night vision goggles, two satellite

telephones and a GPS device with known landing sites used by the marijuana traf-

fickers.

The crime of conspiracy to import marijuana carries a man-

datory minimum fiveyear prison term, and a maximum of 40 years in jail.

Break-in suspect facing charges Morning Star Staff

There was a confrontation with a resident of a home, but not with a Vernon RCMP police service dog for a break-and-enter suspect.

Vernon RCMP report that shortly before 1 a.m.

Thursday, officers were called to a home in the 3500 block of 38th Street for a report of a break-and-enter.

“The four residents of the home told police a suspect came into their place and flipped the kitchen table upside down along with a second smaller one,” said Gord Molendyk RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.

“The suspect was then confronted by one of the residents which led into a physical confrontation between the two.”

The suspect took off from the house on foot but was located by police dog services a short distance away, without incident.

The arresting officer noticed the suspect was under the influence of liquor while he was dealing with him.

The 25-year-old suspect, said Molendyk, is on probation with several conditions, one of which is to abstain from consumption of alcohol.

The suspect was expected to appear in provincial court Thursday to face charges of assault, break-and-enter, mischief and failing to comply with a probation order.

A diesel generator buried in a steel container was used to operate a marijuana grow-operation outside of Lumby. It was shut down by RCMP Tuesday.

Police shut down grow-op Morning Star Staff

Another large North Okanagan grow-op has been scuttled by RCMP. Officers executed search warrants in the 1300 block of Mabel Lake Road, near Lumby, Tuesday.

The warrants were for theft of hydro and production of a controlled substance.

“Shortly after our officers arrived on the rural property, they arrested a 40-year-old resident,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.

“The search of the property located 1,951 plants in various stages of growth in a large shop.”

Several pounds of dried bud and a large quantity of cash were also found.

There was a hydro bypass that was supplying some of the electricity, and police discovered a diesel generator in a large shipping container buried underground. It was supplying the remainder of the power.

“It took several officers most of the day to dismantle the operation and remove the generator from the shipping container,” said Molendyk.

The file is still being investigated, and the suspect arrested in this case, a Kelowna man, was released later in the day on a promise to appear in provincial court.

“The RCMP in the North Okanagan continue to

make it a priority to investigate the grow operations in our area,” said Molendyk.

“The police would like to remind everyone that if you suspect this type of activity in your neighborhood to please contact the nearest detachment with the details.

“We always appreciate the information that is provided by the concerned residents of the communities we serve.”

■ A grow-op shut down by officials on North Road in Cherryville in August 2007 appears to have been started up again.

Lumby RCMP Cpl. Henry Proce says a large barn that housed the grow-up is still clearly visible as one drives by on Highway 6, and it appears that another grow-op was active there over the past year.

“The property is undergoing civil forfeiture and police were alerted to the possibility of another grow-op inside the barn,” said Proce.

“We entered it on July 6, and confirmed its existence. However all the marijuana plants had been removed.

In August 2007, the bust was one of the largest in B.C. for that year.

The investigation into the discovery of the new operation is continuing.

For the record The Morning Star wishes to clarify a July 11 article on transit.

Incomplete information on ridership was provided at Vernon

city hall and those figures were used in the article. Actual B.C. Transit fare box numbers show 46,277 riders in March, 37,915

in April and 38,940 in May. The Morning Star did inaccurately report a figure for May and we apologize for that error.

Vandals hit Lumby pool Morning Star Staff

Despite a number of arrests over the past two weeks and numerous criminal charges being laid, the Village of Lumby was hit with yet another breakand-enter.

Sometime during the night of July 8, vandals broke into the public swimming pool and caused considerable damage.

Metal picnic tables were thrown into the pool, a basketball hoop was also thrown in and bleachers were torn off their mounts and put up against the fence to gain entry to the facility.

Liquor bottles were smashed on the pool deck and inside the pool, and a doggie dispenser was ripped off the wall.

“This obviously went far beyond someone trespassing and going for a dip. This was wanton vandalism and it costs all of

Library workers insist they are trying to achieve what they call a fair collective agreement.

Okanagan Regional Library van drivers are off the job until Saturday, and until further notice, CUPE members will not be collecting money for facility rentals or photocopier fees.

“Okanagan library workers encourage the community to come and use the library’s many services and facilities, while we aren’t collecting fees we are remaining open to serve our community,” said Rose Jurkic, CUPE 1123 president.

CUPE workers have now been without a contract for 19 months.

In other parts of the province, Jurkic said, libraries are successfully settling collective agreements.

“Since 2009, nine libraries have ratified new collective agreements and all have done so without mediation, arbitration or strike action.”

“CUPE’s bargaining team is ready to get back to the table and negotiate. Modest wage improvements and extended benefit improvements remain our top priorities, strike action will continue until the library board

The hunt for a home

W

ell, my quest for a new domicile continues. It has been six weeks to the day since we moved out of our Bella Vista home, and we have been living in my in-laws’ back garage... with the cat, dog and all of our worldly possessions.

Normally, the thought of living with your in-laws or parents would generate a sense of underlying failure and/or dread in most 30-somethings; at the very least, a plausible script for the next Jonah Hill comedy.

Most teens are hardwired to flee the nest upon graduation and never look back. I’m sure some need to be ‘gently’ coerced by Graeme Corbett their parents to leave, but once they experience their newfound freedom, those same parents sometimes have to beg for a visit for Sunday dinner.

But I gotta say, living with your semi-retired parents, at least for a while, is awesome. I come home from work and dinner is either ready, or well underway.

And Carole always makes enough for leftovers for lunch the next day... and the day after that, and the day after that.

They have generously given us free reign of the place, allowing us to take over both their garages – the one where we sleep and store our belongings, the other is Terryn’s workshop.

Up until last week, the fact that they lived on a Westside Road waterfront property wasn’t that big of a deal. But ever since that blazing, bright sphere in the sky has started showing up (I believe they call it the sun), that place has become my oasis.

Even my slightly obese kitty is soaking up the new environment. An indoor cat since we got her from the Vernon Animal Care Society, our de-clawed (she came that way) tabby with a kinked tail, has blossomed into an intrepid explorer. Her favourite pastimes now are eating

grass and hunting insects in the hosta garden.

Our dog has taken on a slightly ripened cheese-like aroma from swimming in the lake so much. She is in bliss.

Alas, we can’t live with the in-laws forever, a feeling I am sure is shared by both parties.

However, our search for an affordable hobby farm that checks all our boxes is proving to be quite the mission.

Given the region’s agricultural roots, you would think it wouldn’t be overly difficult.

It’s not like I’m asking for a pet unicorn, or for England to win the Euro Cup, or anything crazy like that.

We have visited at least 20 homes in our search, and have driven pretty much every back road in the North Okanagan, and even into the Shuswap, looking for potential places.

We have scoured everywhere from Enderby and Falkland to Lumby and Carr’s Landing, but we have yet to find the right one. When we’re not on the road, we are glued online to Google Maps and MLS listings.

I had a brief glimmer of hope when the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) tightened mortgage rules to reign in Canadian debt loads, thinking it would reduce the number of people looking for houses.

Then I realized they probably had people like me in mind when they made those changes.

The new adjustments include reducing the amortization on government-insured mortgages from 30 to 25 years, and lowering the amount of equity homeowners can take out of their homes in a refinancing of their home from 85 to 80 per cent. I have read this roughly equates to a 1.5 to two per cent increase in interest rates, although it will save people money over the long run.

The other major change to CMHC lending rules – houses more than $1 million are no longer eligible for CMHC insurance.

I don’t think that one is going to be affecting me any time soon.

The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission has a lot of similarities to the colonial powers who carved up Africa centuries ago. Take a pen and arbitrarily draw some lines on a map.

Obviously readjusting B.C.’s federal ridings to reflect shifts in population isn’t easy, but it’s almost like the commission didn’t even try.

If they had actually studied a map or travelled the area, they would realize that placing Falkland with Kelowna, Summerland, Merritt, Logan Lake and Princeton is preposterous. Given the parameters for creating boundaries — communities of interest, history and geography — the commission has failed on every point.

Falkland’s bonds are with Vernon for shopping and employment and Armstrong for school.

It is also part of the Salmon Armbased Columbia-Shuswap Regional District. Those are the factors the boundary commissioners should have considered.

Meeting with the MP could become an arduous journey if the riding office is in Kelowna or Summerland. Countless hours on the road does not make for direct representation. One could also make the argument that the MP will never get a proper feel for their constituents if the riding is bigger than some European nations.

The boundary commissioners says they want to hear from residents about the proposal but they haven’t made that easy. The closest public hearings will be in Kelowna and Kamloops.

If the commissioners were truly interested in doing what’s right for residents, they would immediately pull out their pens, grab some maps and head back to the drawing board.

Cyclists already contribute

I

am writing in response to Keith Williment's letter “Tax Cyclists” that was in the June 29 edition of The Morning Star.

I am a cyclist. I often ride on weekends as part of a group. All of us wear helmets, ride in the cycling lanes if provided, use our hand signals when turning, and when it comes to choosing the route, we will do everything we can to avoid riding on any highway to ensure that we minimize conflicts with traffic.

Unfortunately, to access the back roads through the country requires us to ride on stretches of our local highways. It's not the highway that poses the most problems for cyclists as the paved shoulders are often wide enough to allow a bike to ride safely away from the motorists' lanes.

The day you encountered this large number of cyclists was perhaps the Central Okanagan Bike Rider Association Ride. This is an annual event with more than 200 cyclists participating in a 100-kilometre ride from Armstrong

through Salmon Arm and back into Armstrong.

Most organized rides do take place on a Sunday when vehicle traffic is less, therefore lessening the chance of vehicle/cyclist mishaps.

The back roads that join many of our small communities together are not highways.

The posted speed on most of those roads is the same as you would see if you were driving around in town.

Furthermore, most cyclists are very aware of vehicle traffic and try their very best to stay out of your way not only for their own safety

ALTERNATIVES EXIST This latest strife between the teachers' union and government has been tough on everyone involved, especially the children. As the parent of a son who needs his recess breaks, I am thankful we chose to send our child to St. James Catholic School.

While we are not Roman Catholic, we wanted to send our child to a school whose ethos and atmosphere connected more closely with our worldview as a Christian family. This year, I am especially thankful for this school.

To register, non-Roman Catholics will have to talk with the local priest. It seemed to me that this was mostly to ensure that we were not hostile to Roman Catholicism or that we had an agenda. All families do have to pay a tax-deductible monthly tuition since the school does not get the same funding as the public school system but the classes are smaller.

The teachers are great and the school has made allowances for our son’s learning needs. Most of all, we like the atmosphere where talk of God is not just allowed but encouraged. In addition to learning, there are lots of community activities, events and we have felt welcomed as a family.

but to lessen any delays to you.

I'm not sure if Mr. Williment put a lot of thought into his suggestion to get cyclists to contribute to road tax.

Does he think that the cyclists he sees out there riding in groups are all unemployed? These people have jobs and own homes and pay taxes.

They are lawyers, doctors, physio and massage therapists, police officers, nurses, teachers, firefighters, letter carriers and business owners, to mention only a few professions.

If they're not working, then they're retired and are now able to enjoy an activity that has many

I don’t have a position either way on the conflict between the government and teachers. I understand the teachers believe they are entitled to a better contract but I also understand that with an aging society, the government needs to keep spending in check.

I really don’t know what the answer to the conflict is.

There are alternatives to the public school system where recess, sports, report cards, and extracurricular activities will not be taken away from children due to labour strife.

James Love A CLARIFICATION The At Random column by Cara Brady June 29 should have included the following information.

The Human Early Learning Partnership is an interdisciplinary research institute, headed by Dr. Clyde Hertzman. HELP faculty members are engaged in many research projects looking at environments that impact children’s development, from the neuro-biological to the broader society.

Dr. Kershaw and Ms. Anderson’s work on the New Deal for Families is only one aspect of the work we do.

If you are interested in the Human Early Learning Partnership, see our website at www.earlylearning. ubc.ca.

Joanne Schroeder, deputy director Human Early Learning Partnership WHO'S IN CHARGE? Up until now, I was still under the illusion that staff must report to the political masters.

Has that changed since the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee is now an advisory committee? If it has, there is something askew.

Trafford Hall's comment, "It can't just be done by a secretary. It has to be done by senior managers who are already stretched," is very concerning.

It would mean the senior managers leave him out of the loop.

As administrator he should be well informed on what progress is being made at all times.

That would be very peculiar since I'm reasonably certain that progress reports at the internal regional district level happen at least once a month, more likely though, on a weekly basis.

The fact that cyclists are actually taking steps to keep themselves physically active, tells me that we care about our health.

You should be congratulating anyone who can take initiative to roll out of bed early on a Sunday morning, or anytime for that matter, to cycle rather than drive, whether it's to work, to ride with their children or to ride 100 kilometres through the country.

These people are contributing hugely to minimizing our current and growing health care crisis.

The healthier people are, the less they are going to use health care.

Instead of “getting your knickers in a knot” when seeing a group of cyclists out for a pleasure ride, or a large group who might be riding for a cause (Cops for Cancer, Cops for Kids, Ride to Conquer Cancer, fundraisers for prostate cancer), you should be encouraged and inspired to get yourself out from behind the wheel on occasion and join in on the fun.

PROTECT WILDLIFE There needs to be guidelines regarding wildlife.

They have just as much right to live as we do on this earth without any harm to them. There's enough room for us humans and wildlife to live together.

There's enough cruelty to deal with in this world these days.

It's our responsibility to protect them. They give back so much when we stop to enjoy them.

We should protect them at all times. They need to be left alone.

Donna Antoine felt like she’d come full circle when she moved into Enderby Memorial Terrace six months ago.

“I was a nurse in the Enderby Hospital which was on this site for 30 years. I love the location. It’s easy to walk to town, the river walk and all of the parks,” she said.

“There is everything we need and the building is very secure and well-managed.”

An official opening for the 15 units of affordable housing for seniors and the disabled was held Tuesday.

During the ceremony, Barry Fawcett, of the Enderby Seniors Housing Society, introduced the guests, beginning with Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes.

“This is an exciting day for Enderby,” said Mayes.

“This is a great-looking building and I’m pleased that it includes units for people with disabilities because my sister has a disability and we know about looking for suitable housing. What has been done here demonstrates what we can achieve when we work together in partnership at all levels.”

Memorial Terrace is on Granville Street, near the health centre and adult day programs. It is designed so an assisted-living facility can be added as the next phase.

The structure is made from modular homes originally used by athletes at the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver.

The federal government provided $1.1 million towards the project and the provincial government contributed $2.8 million.

Memorial Terrace is maintained and operated by the Enderby Seniors Housing Society, which worked on every phase of the project.

The residents help with snow removal, painting the outdoor furniture and caring for the community garden, which was

Fortune Secondary’s grad class.

“It’s special for me to see this because I was born at the Enderby Hospital,” said Shuswap MLA George Abbott.

“There are a lot of congratulations to be extended.”

Enderby Mayor Howie Cyr said, “This is something the community needed.

We’re very proud of it.”

For Patrick Strougler, Enderby Seniors Housing Society president, the project has been a community effort.

“So many people worked so hard and have given so generously to provide this place to live with comfort and dignity,” he said.

After the opening ceremony, Antoine talked about how she made the move to Memorial Terrace.

“When I first saw all the units before they were put together, I didn’t think they would be able to do much with them and the place would be cold but they did a very

good job of putting it all together and it is comfortable,” she said.

“I think it is important to prepare mentally for downsizing and moving to a retirement residence. I planned for about three years and gave most of my stuff to my kids so I have what I need and it all fits in. It takes some time to adjust to any new situation.”

Antoine has lived in Enderby her entire life.

“I was pleased I didn’t have to move away and leave everything and everyone that was familiar. It was good to meet some people here that I knew from the community.”

The building includes a common room, a kitchen and a dining room for families and social events and a covered outside area.

“They did a good job of everything. I feel really fortunate to be here,” said artist Jo Ann Willoughby, another Memorial Terrace resident.

“We have reworked another trail route with the Ministry of Environment and the boardwalk is going down this week.”

The portion of trail that has been fenced off is not owned

by RDNO. “There’s a private driveway we were using and we hadn’t secured it (formal access). The Tannis Nelson developer had said it was OK,” said Nelson.

But that situation changed last week.

Nelson says discussions are underway with the property owner but she is not sure where negotiations are at or if that piece of property will reopen.

Cyclists and hikers are encouraged to use the new route but there is no guarantee it will become permanent.

“Our understanding with the ministry is it’s temporary but there’s no deadline to remove it,” said Nelson.

The developer could not be reached for comment.

Licence purchases climb ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

A voluntary, pleasant approach to dealing with rogue dogs and their owners in Armstrong has resulted in an increase in dog licences purchased.

Through the first six months of 2012, 450 dog licences have been purchased in the city, compared to 340 over the same time period in 2011.

Coun. Kelly Rowe credits the increase to the work of the dog control officer, Don Smythe of Kelly Rowe the Commissionaires, hired by the city under a restructured dog control contract.

“He prefers a voluntary approach and that seems to be what the folks in Armstrong like,” said Rowe. “On dog issues, rather than just ticketing the owner of the rogue dog, he gives them an opportunity to buy a licence, and our dog licences are up substantially.”

In a report to council Monday, Smythe said that full city patrols are conducted three times per week, supplemented by monitoring patrols when investi-

gating complaints.

There have been 36 complaints investigated from speaking to all parties involved, including others in the neighbourhood, and monitoring complaint sites for various time periods.

Smythe said the range of complaints include dogs off leash (15), bites (five), noise disturbance (10) and waste pickup (six).

There have been 12 dog impounds with associated fees incurred for impound and maintenance.

One bylaw ticket infraction has been issued in the first six months.

“It’s a very tough job to do, dog control,” said Coun. Paul Britton.

“He has a very good manner about him. He’s not confrontational and he seems to be working out well. I hope the people in town appreciate him.”

RCMP officer doesn’t take stand in case ALISTAIR WATERS Black Press

The case against a Kelowna RCMP officer accused of assaulting a Prince George man downtown two years ago wrapped up Tuesday without the Mountie’s lawyer presenting any evidence or calling his client to testify.

In a surprising move, Cont. Geoff Mantler’s lawyer, Neville McDougall, announced he would not be pre-

He testified he Const. Rick Goodwin, fled on a bicycle when

he felt he was going to be robbed by the men — he said there was more than one — and encountered Goodwin and Mantler in a marked police cruiser as he fled.

Goodwin testified that Bhatti was told to stop because he was not wearing a bike helmet but swore at the officer and pedalled away. He was located a short time later by the officers on Harvey Avenue.

he was hit in the head, either by Mantler’s fist or elbow, as he was handcuffed and waiting to be put into the back of the police cruiser.

The blow, he said, knocked him to the ground and broke his glasses.

In his summation, McDougall said the Crown had not proven Mantler hit Bhatti and Goodwin testified that he did not see Mantler hit Bhatti.

When Bhatti asked for medical assistance back at the police station, Goodwin told Mantler who, video shows, went into the cell to talk to Bhatti for about 30 seconds. He also passed on Bhatti’s accusation that he had been beaten by an officer to the watch commander, which is protocol.

However, despite a complaint launched against Mantler by Bhatti a short time later, the officer did not provide a written statement to police investigators for 65 days, and only after consulting with a lawyer, according to Cpl. Jason Arnold, the officer tasked with looking into the complaint.

“At the end of the day, if you’re not sure what to believe, the law is clear, you must acquit Const. Mantler,” McDougall told Judge Mark Takahashi.

Takahashi will render a decision in about 10 days time.

Within seconds, he said, Mantler jumped out of the cruiser and came around the car to help him cuff Bhatti.

It was then that Bhatti claims he was hit.

But Goodwin, said he did not see Mantler hit Bhatti and, contrary to Bhatti’s claim, there was no blood pouring out of the arrested man’s nose when he talked to him in the back of the police car.

Goodwin testified his partner was calm on the night in question and he lost sight of Mantler and Bhatti just once, for less than a minute, as he picked up Bhatti’s bicycle and placed it in the trunk of the police car.

He said he found Bhatti’s broken glasses on the ground and tried to fix them before giving them back to arrested man in the back of the police car. He said it was then that Bhatti asked Goodwin why he beat him up.

“I told him I didn’t,” said Goodwin.

Store Hours: Sunday to Saturday 8am to 10pm

Planning continues for a major U.S. retailer to move into Vernon.

Target reconfirmed Thursday that it will open in the current Zellers at the Village Green Centre in spring 2013.

“We have stores spanning from coast-to-coast and we can’t wait to open our doors in Canada,” said Tony Fisher, Target Canada president.

A specific date for the Tony Fisher Vernon Target to open has not been released.

Target Corporation acquired the leases of 220 Zellers stores in January 2011.

The local site will be closed for six to nine months for $10 million in renovations.

Target expects to employ between 150 to 200 team members at each store and has already started hiring its store leadership positions.

Hourly recruitment will begin towards the end of 2012 and into 2013.

There were 136 residential sales, up seven per cent from 127 units during the same month last year.

Single-family home sales were 85 for the month, up 8.9 per cent compared to 78 in June 2011.

Apartment sales were up 37.5 per cent over last year at this time (from eight to 11).

“June saw significant improvements.”

“The Queen’s diamond jubilee is an opportunity to celebrate our traditions, history, symbols, values and institutions, particularly the role of the crown in Canada,” said Mayes.

Steal from the rich and give to the needy was Robin Hood’s motto, but a local artist is using a different kind of steel to help the less fortunate.

Vernon’s Cory Fuhr completed a sculpture for the purpose of donating it to Valley First’s Feed the Valley campaign.

Fuhr is an accomplished sculptor whose work has been featured on the world stage, including the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

But Fuhr doesn’t take his success for granted. He knows that there are people out there who are less fortunate.

“I’m OK if people change where they eat, or if they have to change what they eat, whether it’s healthier or they’re cooking more. But I’m not OK if they have to make a decision — Cory Fuhr on if they are going to eat,” said Fuhr during a short presentation on Monday.

The presentation officially opened the raffle for the sculpture valued at more than $8,000.

Tickets are available at Valley First credit union and insurance branches throughout the Okanagan and Thompson regions.

“Feed the Valley is a tremendous program that has attracted the support of many terrific partners,” said Debbie Bagnall, manager of the Vernon branch.

“Cory’s generous donation will help us extend Feed the Valley’s reach and allow us to continue strengthen our community.”

With winter and spring behind us, supplies at local food banks are starting to run low, while demand remains high.

According to Phil Franco, of Vernon Salvation Army, the Vernon food bank is still receiving about 35 new families each month.

“The gratifying thing is that efforts like this are very timely, here we are in vacation but hunger never takes a vacation. Things like this really make a difference,” said Franco of the Feed the Valley campaign.

Since its creation in March 2010, Feed the Valley has raised more than $270,000 and more than 16,000 pounds of food donations for food banks throughout the Okanagan, Similkameen and Thompson regions.

The contributions puts Valley First Credit Union on track to achieving its goal of $1 million by 2020.

“Valley First’s commitment to need really demonstrates a commitment to people. I’m proud to be a part of that,” said Fuhr.

The sculpture will be on display at branches across the Valley First network while raffles tickets can be purchased until Sept. 28.

Valley First will also be offering a second prize of a $500 Valley First RRSP. Raffle tickets are available at $5 for each, three for $10 or five for $20.

Tickets can be purchased at branches in Vernon, Armstrong, Kamloops, downtown Kelowna and the Penticton main branch.

For more information about the campaign, visit www.feedthevalley.ca.

Some good news has helped firm up plans for a new gathering place in Grindrod.

The provincial Agricultural Land Commission has agreed that a new community hall can be constructed in Grindrod Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proceeding along,â&#x20AC;? said Herman Halvorson, with the Grindrod Recreation Association, which is spearheading the project.

ALC approval for non-farm use was required because the site is in the Agricultural Land Reserve.

With that hurdle overcome, the association is focused on the next steps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to get building permits and drafting done and to start construction in late August,â&#x20AC;? said

Halvorson.

A new hall would accommodate 100 people and be wheelchair accessible. It would also have a concession, which could be used for events in the park such as the Garlic Festival.

The present structure was originally constructed as a house in about 1905. It is in poor shape and only fits about 50 people.

About $200,000 has been raised towards what Halvorson expects could now be a $400,000 construction project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some things happening with the provincial government and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking to MP Colin Mayes and the Enderby Lions Club,â&#x20AC;? he said of funding sources.

Residents have also been donating to the new hall and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anticipated that generosity will grow.

McEachran-Law leads foursome Morning Star Staff

MATTHEW MANOR PHOTO

Scott Steckly of Milverton, Ont., driving the No. 22 Canadian Tire/Motomaster Dodge, leads a pack at a Lucas Oil Grand Prix race last month at the ICAR track in Quebec. Steckly will look to defend his A&W 300 Cruisin’ the Dub title Saturday at the MotoPlex Speedway and Event Park.

NASCAR revs up MotoPlex ROY CLISSOLD For the Morning Star

Vernon’s MotoPlex Speedway and Event Park is gearing up for its biggest event of the season as the A&W Cruisin’ The Dub 300, part of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, comes to town Saturday night.

DJ Kennington, driving his No. 17 Castrol Edge/Mahindra Tractors Dodge, will be the man to beat on the half-mile, banked asphalt tri-oval, having won the last two stops in the Canadian Tire series. He took the checkered flags at the Clarington 200 in Bowmanville, Ont. (June 16), and the EMCO 200 in Delware, Ont (June 23).

Back-to-back wins to go with a runner-up finish and a fourth-place run has the St. Thomas, Ont., driver with a 13-point lead over Roxton Pond, Que.’s Andrew Ranger (No. 27 GC Motosport Dodge).

Milverton, Ont.’s Scott Steckly, piloting the No. 22 Canadian Tire/Motomaster Dodge, is the two-time defending champion, and also has three runner-up placings in Vernon. He is fourth in the Canadian Tire series.

For a change, Western Canadian drivers will dominate the 2l-car entry list, with two brothers and a father-son duo, all from B.C., leading the way.

Brothers Jason White of Sun Peaks and Jim White of Kamloops will each be piloting

Dodges. Jason will be in the A&W/Bowers & Wilkins Dodge, and Jim will be driving the car Steckly drove last year.

Jason enters Saturday’s race, the fifth in the 12-race circuit, as the ninth-ranked driver.

Both White brothers are familiar with the MotoPlex, having competed here regularly in past years. Jason runs the complete NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, while Jim sticks to the western events.

The father-son duo of Trevor and Ryley Seibert of Williams Lake have been regular competitors in the Street Stock and Sportsman classes over the years at the MotoPlex. Vernon fans might not recognize them at first as their cars will bear new race wraps as they make their NASCAR season debut. Both Dodges are owned by Trevor and carry sponsorship from Lake Excavating.

Saturday will the be just the second series start for Ryley, 20, who calls the MotoPlex his home track.

“I’m certainly comfortable there and know the track very well,” he said. “But there is some pressure that comes with it. I’ll have a lot of friends and family at the race and they are going to expect me to protect my home turf.”

Seibert also knows there will be family bragging rights on the line Saturday.

“When I was younger, my dad was my hero. Now that I’m 20 and share the race track with him, I just want to beat him. He beat me not too long ago in his Late Model, so I need to get a little payback.”

Rivals on the track are partners in the shop, though.

“He doesn’t make it to the shop as much as he would like due to his business stuff,” said Ryley. “But he is a great resource and has helped me out in every way possible.

There is a lot involved in racing and he’s always there for me.”

A pair of Prairie rookies will add to the western content at the MotoPlex, as Jason Hankewich of Kindersley, Sask. pilots the Digger Racing Chevrolet, and Nick Jewell of The Pas, Man. runs a racer sponsored by the Prairie Dodge Dealers.

Five Alberta entries round out the eleven western drivers entered in the 300-lap race.

Gates open at 4 p.m., with qualifying set for 5:15 p.m., an autograph session at 7:00, and racing at 8:15. General admission is $45 and VIP tickets are $150.

The A&W will be aired Sunday, July 22 at 2 p.m. (PT) on TSN, and again on Saturday, Aug. 11 at 4:30 p.m.

With files from NASCAR.

Coldstream’s Chris McEachranLaw led a group of four local golfers after round two of the B.C. Junior Championships at the Sunshine Coast Golf and Country Club in Roberts Creek.

Carved through coastal forest, the course, with its tight fairways, ocean breezes and tricky greens, is a beautiful test of golf, playing close to 6,500 yards.

McEachran-Law carded opening rounds of 75-76 to sit in a five-way tie for 30th at 7-over heading into third-round action Thursday.

Kevin Kwon of Pitt Meadows topped the leaderboard at 5-under with rounds of 70 and 69.

With only the top 70 (and ties) making the cut, Coldstream’s Austin Bosquet shot a second straight 78 to advance, while Chris’s brother Matt McEachranLaw had to battle to advance. Fighting a hook all day, he recorded back-to-back double bogeys on the tough par-3 ninth and par-4 10th holes, leaving him at 15-over.

A birdie on 16 got him one closer, and after parring the 17, he faced a 25-foot downhill birdie putt on 18, which he calmly drained to finish with a 78.

Vernon’s Brady Stead missed the cut.

■ At the B.C. Junior Girls, Vernon’s Mackenzie Barrie dialed in her game at the Osoyoos G&CC, shaving 12 strokes off her first round of 83 to sit in a threeway tie for 13th.

Her 1-under 71 on day two was the second best round of the day.

Surrey’s Taylor Kim carded rounds of 66 and 74 to hold a four-shot lead over runner-up Anico Yoo of Port Coquitlam (74-70).

■ Hillview’s Keith Vandenbrink finished tied for second at 1-under 71 with Jeremy Johnson of Fairmont Hot Springs to pocket $600 at the Revelstoke ProAm last week.

Kamloops’ Ian Henson carded a 70 for first place and $1,000.

Vandenbrink added another $125 for piloting his foursome of Jim and Jon Atmore and Gary Hinkel to eighth place.

They won Cleveland Putters valued at $140.

Later that weekend, Vandenbrink finished tied for 14th after firing a pair of 73s at the Chilliwack Open.

Tigers take control in semifinal Morning Star Staff

Special teams, or a lack thereof, played a major role in helping the Vernon Re/Max Tigers stake their first lead in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League semifinal series with the Armstrong Shamrocks.

The Cats earned a 2-1 lead in their best-of-five set with an 11-7 win Tuesday night at Wesbild Centre, aided by a pair of shorthanded goals in the third period.

The Rocks trailed 7-5 midway through the final frame and looked to equalize with the man advantage, only to fall victim to Vernon’s short man.

“When you got the advantage and they score a couple shorthanded goals, it makes it pretty tough,” said Shamrock head coach Pat Nelson, who felt his team’s focus was a little off Tuesday night.

“Our shots were missing the net too much and our passing was a little shaky. The number of small things that we didn’t do right makes a difference in the game. They’re a good team and we have to make sure we’re prepared.

Mental preparation will play a big part.”

Game 4 went Thursday (7:30 p.m.) at the Nor-Val Sports Centre in Armstrong. A fifth game, if needed, would be played Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at Wesbild.

The teams were tied 3-3 after one period, with Jordan Orr, Midget call-up Liam Drabiuk and Craig Bigsby scoring for Vernon, and Brett Hawrys, Owen Barker and Cam Nelson answering for Armstrong.

The Tigers snapped a 5-5 tie late in the middle frame with a goal at 18:57, taking a 6-5 lead into the dressing room. Mason Limb, Braden Barr and Drabiuk did the damage for the hosts; Hawrys and Drew Hassard tallied for the Rocks.

Legends earn fourth Morning Star Staff

ANDRE LODDER/MORNING STAR

The Cats put the game away with five goals in the final 20 minutes, led by a Nolan Frame hat trick, and singles by Orr and Drabiuk, who completed his hat trick for a fivepoint night. Ryan Landels chipped in with three assists.

“Entering Game 3, we asked the guys to check their emotions at the door and to put the team first by avoiding selfish penalties, as Games 1 and 2 saw a handful of self-serving penalties,” said Tigers’ head coach Myles Brumpton.

“Overall, the boys played a fundamentally sound game in all aspects – from defence, to transition, to offence. This play carried over to special teams play as well, as the penalty kill did a great job.”

Barker, who finished with 2+3, and Nelson capped the visitors’ attack.

Tyler Landry finished with 48 saves and an assist in the win.

Cole McFarlane had 44 saves in the loss.

■ Drabiuk and Landry, who play

with the North Okanagan Legends, are headed to Surrey, July 19-22, for the B.C. Summer Games. They will join Vernon’s Jonathan Grant and Jake Thomson, and Enderby’s Justin Backus, on the Thompson Okanagan Zone 2 box lacrosse team.

Drabiuk’s brother Mykl will play with the Zone 2 field lacrosse squad in Surrey. Other local field players include Vernon’s Kyle Cuzzetto and Coldstream’s Thomas Landels.

See photo on A28.

The North Okanagan Legends ended their box lacrosse season with a fourthplace finish in the Bantam division at the 36th annual Canada Day Tournament in Calgary.

The event is the largest box tourney in North America, and the Legends were the only Canadian team to reach the final four. They bowed 11-3 to a Denver team in the bronzemedal game.

Trailing 5-1 after one period (goal supplied by Connor Webb), North Okanagan had a difficult time recovering, getting singles from Jayden Hunter and Jack Lambert.

The Legends started the tournament by grounding Quesnel 3-2, backstopped by superb goaltending from Brad Gorrigan. Jake Pelletier, with a pair, and Webb, scoring the winner on a breakaway, handled the offence.

North Okanagan then fell 9-1 to team from Washington, but rebounded with an 8-5 stuffing of the Calgary Sabercats.

The Pelletier brothers were strong again, with a hat trick coming from Jake, and two goals and some solid two-way play by captain Steele.

Jack Lambert was great on the penalty kill and helped the offence with a single, as did Brady Marzocco and Kieran Watts.

North Okanagan ended the round-robin with a 7-3 decision over Edmonton.

The Pelletier brothers were good for five goals, Webb added a goal and two assists, and Marzocco collected a single. Assists came from Hunter, Lambert and Travis Aeichele.

Dr. Lee keeps undefeated streak alive Morning Star Staff

Dr. Lee’s Dental continued their undefeated march in the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association with a 2-0 win over the ever-improving North Enderby Timber Celtics Tuesday at Marshall Field.

NET forward Carly Smith had a good scoring opportunity early in the first half, beating a player down the left and unleashing a good shot on net.

Telus Lady of the Match Stephanie Wilson, with mom and pops watching from the sidelines, was obstructed in the penalty area, leading to a penalty kick goal by Irene Arrotta to open the scoring in the Competitive Division tilt.

The 10-0-1 Floss Crew turned up the offence in the second half, with Andi King firing off the crossbar. Several other scoring chances turned back by the Celtics’ keeper.

With just 10 minutes to go, Maddie Kaneda sent a through ball to Wilson, who converted from 15 yards out, just like father Jim used to do. Lisa Arrotta earned the shutout. The Celtics are second at 4-3-3.

“We played hard, physical soccer, which Dr. Lee’s clearly is not used to,” said NET

It was a hard-fought game, with the 4-5-1 Outlaws hemming the 0-8-2 Blazers in their own end. Stacey Cover set up Lee for her first two strikes with nice through balls. Both times, Lee chipped shots over the Blazer keeper.

Jen Kemper added the other Little Tex goal in support of netminder Eileen Fox. Stephanie Conti and Jasmine Whitling had strong games in the middle, setting up many plays and with some hard shots on net.

Veteran Christine Fraser had many good runs up the side, and supplied countless crosses into the 18.

In women’s Masters Division action Tuesday, third-place Longhorn Impact widened the gap over fourth-place North Okanagan United with a 3-2 win on Marshall #2.

Tina Garrison got the 8-1-2 Impact on the board after converting a cross from defender Suzie Andrews. With the Longhorn crew down 2-1, Garrison cracked a free kick just outside the penalty area to equalize.

With five minutes to play, left midfielder Denise Bourdon delivered in towards Janelle Smithson and Edeen Ramsay, who buried it into the bottom corner.

Impact keeper Julie Hamer came up with a game-saver, denying a shot by a rushing (Lean) Lena Dean with a backhand flick. Hamer later pulled her hamstring, but Kate Colbeck came up big in relief. NOU are 5-3-3.

Earlier, the Impact shaded host Shuswap Merlot 1-0 at Little Mountain Field in Salmon Arm. The lone goal scorer was Dawn Heiss on a well-placed header to the top left hand corner, off a lovely cross from Nancy Nichols.

Julie Hamer had the shutout, getting solid defence from her back line.

The Vernon Controllers coasted to a 3-0 win over Salmon Arm Setters Pub on Marshall #3.

Getting chances early and often, the 6-3-2 Controllers opened the scoring with Jody Pope going on a coast-to-coast solo effort.

Jenn Spitzer made it 2-0 a minute later by knocking in a great cross from Jacquie Nuyens at the goal line.

In the second half, Krista Backer put a left-footer off the crossbar, and Leslie Epp, Michelle Mercer and Val Percy also hit the

uprights.

Lady of the Match Michele Wernicke set up Spitzer with a nifty pass for the final tally.

Spitzer deked the goalie.

Wernicke was also a force on defence, shutting down the 3-7-1 Setters and orchestrating dangerous counterattacks all night long. Emma Louis created a number of opportunities for the Controllers up front, while the back line of Jenny Currie and Pope, and midfielders Felicia O’Gorman and Epp, showed great hustle.

Mickey Templeton made the shutout look easy.

Jen Siegmueller (left) of the Celtics goes in for a ball against Andi King of Dr. Lee’s Dental in women’s Competitive Division soccer action Tuesday night at Marshall Field.

Turn-Key Controls FC parlayed an early lead into a 4-1 win over Concept Physio in North Okanagan Men’s Soccer League action on a scorching Wednesday night at Marshall Field #4.

UBCO Heat volleyball player Greg Niemantsverdriet opened the scoring with a low left-footed strike past Concept tender Riley Spraggs off a through ball from Nolan’s Pharmasave Man of the Match Chris Jahnig. Shortly after, Alex Nolan found Taylor Horsting in the box who set up Andrew Pool at the top of the 18 for the 2-0 goal before the break.

Turn-Key’s Preston Tucker opened the scoring in the second half with a right-footed blast that left Spraggs with no chance. Tucker and forward Conan Ackert both hit headers off the crossbar later in the half.

Concept (0-8-3) continued to battle and were finally able to crack the 6-4-1 Turn-Key defence of Nolan, Bryce Paterson, Carson Haywood-Farmer, Sam Nolan, Kyle Goodgrove and Tyler Flood,

and goaltender Jeremy Kler, when Fabrice N’Dair was tackled in the box and converted the penalty. Jahnig finished a fantastic through ball from Evan Moore to cap the scoring.

Concept squandered some goods chances that would have made the score closer.

Turn-Key will play a makeup game against Monashee Surveying Sunday (7 p.m.) at Marshall.

In other Wednesday action, Monashee showed relentless pressure in earning a 3-1 win over the host Salmon Arm Outlaws.

Cheeky rookie Daniel Lutsenko opened the scoring for the 5-3-3 Surveyors as he pressed the Salmon Arm keeper and poked it home.

Minutes later, a calm play by Michael Arding played a ball across the top of the box to Darren Nobrega, who curled it into the corner.

In the second half, the 1-9 Outlaws pounced on a bad pass after a Monashee miscue to cut the lead in half.

The surveyors added a little insurance in a great solo effort by Cam Clary, who ran onto a through ball and beat four Outlaws before poking it by the charging keeper.

Honourable mention went to stand-in keepers Alberto Lopez and Tyler Johnson, and to Kevin Shaw for slotting into his new role.

Davidson & Co. Dynamite clipped Camels FC 2-1 in an entertaining tilt on Marshall #2.

Dynamite, now 3-6-3, enjoyed the bulk of possession in both halves and generated some quality chances. Keeper Ean Ross backstopped the Nitros with several spectacular saves late in the game.

The 5-4-2 Camels fired the lone goal in the first half, and with the Dynamite pressing in the second half, they earned a penalty kick from 28 yards out.

Moe Singogo drove a boomer over the Camels’ wall and into the top right corner before the keeper could even react.

The winner came on a Bryndon Buckham breakaway.

Kohut tracks Surrey berth

C’s rule round-robin Morning Star Staff

GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Joey Kohut is dropping time faster than a broken Timex.

In just his first season of competitive distance running, the Grade 9 Fulton student has continually crushed his personal bests, earning a place in the B.C. Summer Games, July 19-22, in Surrey.

Kohut, a member of the Vernon Triple A Track and Field Club, will compete in the boys 1,200- and 2,000-metre distance races in Surrey.

He holds personal bests of 3:49 and 5:45, respectively.

“It’s gotten a lot better,” said Kohut, of his rapid development. “The start of the year, my first run in a track meet – and it was just a couple weeks in – was like a 5:45 in the 1,500. The next run, I cut that down by like literally almost 40 seconds.

“It makes you want to keep going. Gotta keep beating your goal.”

Realizing he is a relative newcomer to the sport, Kohut, who dropped minor baseball to focus more on track, doesn’t seem overly worried about medals; he simply wants to keep on improving his times.

“I always try to get a PB every time I go out.

That’s my goal for every run.”

Kohut credits Vernon distance coaches Brent Helland and John Machuga for supporting his development.

“This training has been great; I love this club,” he said. “Having specific workouts for different things really helps out.

“I really liked elementary school track, but found out there was no track in high school. I looked up the Vernon track club and decided to join.”

Machuga has been impressed by Kohut’s progress, adding the teen’s work ethic has a lot to do with that.

GRAEME CORBETT/MORNING STAR

Vernon's Joey Kohut works on his upper body strength with a medicine ball exercise at Polson Park. Kohut will compete in the 1,200- and 2,000-metre distance races at the B.C. Summer Games, July 19-22, in Surrey.

“He’s pretty easy to coach; he likes to work hard, which is critical with distance running. He just goes for it in workouts,” said Machuga.

“It’s his first year here and he’s already having a good year. Most races are personal bests and he just keeps getting better.”

Other athletes heading to the B.C. Summer Games for track and field include Vernon’s Chris Loland and Lumby’s Jared Sexsmith. Both will compete in high jump and long jump, and Sexsmith will also toss the javelin.

Oliphant returns to Games GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff

Vernon's Aidan Oliphant gets in a track workout at Polson Park as he prepares to compete in triathlon at the B.C. Summer Games, July 19-22, in Surrey.

has some sage advice for his fellow competitors at the Summer Games, July 19-22, in Surrey.

“Bring a Therm-a-Rest because the mats there aren’t very good,” grinned the 13-year-old Oliphant, a multi-sport athlete who will compete in triathlon on the coast. He raced in nordic skiing in the Winter Games.

Oliphant, who is entering Grade 9 at Seaton Secondary, has competed in triathlon since age five, entering Kids of Steel events around the Okanagan.

He says nordic and triathlon really compliment one another as they offer year-round cross-training.

His parents – Verena Von Bremen and Jonathan Oliphant – helped spark his interest in the triathlon.

“My dad did Ironman a while ago and they’ve been encouraging me to do triathlon,” said Oliphant, who turns 14 the week after Summer Games. “I really like it because I like running and biking.”

An avid reader, Oliphant has found a unique way to keep his reflexes sharp.

“I do lots of circus stuff, like riding unicycles and juggling,” said Oliphant, who lists Olympicdistance triathlete Simon Whitfield of Victoria and Canadian nordic skier George Grey of Rossland as role models.

Oliphant says he made some good friends at Winter Games, one of them being Rossland’s Tayla Koerber, who competed for the Kootenays Zone 1 squad in girls nordic skiing. Koerber will also be racing triathlon in Surrey.

The Vernon Coldstone Canadians tuned up for the Zone Pee Wee Baseball playdowns in late July with a stellar roundrobin run at the Wood Bat Tournament in Kamloops.

The C’s went 3-0 in preliminary play, but dropped a pair of playoff tilts, bowing 9-4 to the Calgary Redbirds in the semifinals, and 7-0 to Abbotsford in consolation play.

Landon Currie and Zac Austin each supplied two hits against Calgary, and Kadyn Thomas, Ben McDonald and Jared Leroux hit singles.

Against Abbotsford, the reigning B.C. AAA champions, Currie went 2-for-3 and Nick Cherkowski 1-for-2.

The C’s opened the tourney by stuffing the West Kelowna Diamondbacks 6-5, with Cherkowski and

Lumby market harvests funds Morning Star Staff

The Lumby Public Market is garnering regional support.

The Regional District of North Okanagan recently presented $1,000 to the market to go towards its operations.

“This is another example of RDNO’s ongoing support to markets across the district,” said Murray August, Lumby Public Market chairperson.

Rick Fairbairn, RDNO director, believes markets such as the one in Lumby are important to agriculture.

“Farm gate sales are great for local communities, the local economy, and for local growers and producers,” he said.

“For consumers, it’s a win-win. They’re getting fresh, high-quality foods straight from the farm gate at good prices. We are pleased to provide support to the Lumby Public Market, and we encourage everyone to shop locally at farmers and public markets.”

Support for markets also fits in with RDNO’s campaign to have provincial meat regulations amended.

“We would like to see locally raised meats and poultry available at all

NOTICE OF POWER INTERRUPTION LUMBY AND CHERRYVILLE

Abbeyfield House in Vernon recently opened its doors to family, friends and supporters.

The event marked the 25th anniversary of opening the first Abbeyfield House in Canada.

Despite the uncertainty of the weather, nearly 70 guests were entertained by the music of Renee Clark while enjoying hamburgers cooked by Rotarians Don Miller, Dominik Dlouhy, Colin Heggie, and Dave Weatherill.

BC Hydro contractor, Advanced Powerlines Ltd., will be conducting maintenance work on the distribution system from April 16th to August 31, 2012.

Areas affected are: Hwy 6 starting at Duremeadow Rd., East end of Creighton Valley Rd., Trinity Valley Rd., Albers Rd., Mabel Lake Rd., Sugar Lake Rd., and surrounding areas.

BC Hydro is improving the reliability of the system through the replacement of approximately 2021 fused cutouts, and the installation of lightning arrestors and bird guards. To ensure the safety of the work crews, intermittent, short power outages will be required during the timeframe. The outages will affect small groups of customers at a time and will last for under an hour while work in specific areas is completed. All affected customers will receive advance door-to-door notification from the contractor.

BC Hydro may postpone this work if weather conditions or crew requirements for emergency work warrant.

Social media and privacy

I

n light of concerns over modern technology and social media, the standing committee on access to information, privacy and ethics is currently studying issues around your privacy.

Today, with modern data systems, personal information can be stored and sold to those wishing to market their wares.

I was browsing the Internet looking at various models of vehicles,

and it was not long after that, that I started to receive ads from car manufacturers. At first, I did not connect the dots. Then I realized that by using my browser, the search engines and websites were personalizing ads based on my browsing history.

What other personal

information about you is being used/ shared without your knowledge?

Service contracts have small print hidden in complicated legal jargon.

For most Canadians, Colin Mayes it is too time consuming to read, therefore they just hit the agree button and carry on.

MP REPORT

But should we require search engines, e-mail providers and/or web companies to make these settings more obvious and easier to opt-in or -out of?

Canada has some of the most stringent privacy laws, but the challenge now is how to enforce them. If you pass a law in Canada to protect individual privacy rights, how does one apply this as the internet is international and knows no borders?

The privacy commissioner did take Facebook to task on some of these issues and did get some of the privacy concerns addressed.

But still, the attitude of many web companies across the globe is: “If you think we are violating your privacy rights, so what, sue us.”

At a meeting with a representative from Research In Motion (RIM), the manufacturer of Blackberry, the question was asked

– what’s Blackberry’s future?

The answer was your passport, drivers licence, bank card, banking information, health card and every piece of personal information will be stored on whatever handheld device you use.

Additionally, some iPhones and text devices have GPS services that can track the customer wherever they go. Is all or any of this acceptable?

Possible outcomes of the study may include more requirements for transparent service provider contracts, tougher penalties for violations of privacy, and the ability for Canadians to access and/or retrieve their personal information stored with advertisers and/or web companies.

I look forward to reading the recommendations of this study, once completed, and will then report back to you.

3AND PAINTING TO BE PART OF -IDSUMMER S AUCTION Vernon Public Art Gallery adds to its permanent collection KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff

To look at the paintings of Paul Jones is to absorb the salty sea and mountainous landscape of this grand province we call home.

For the 92-year-old, the grains of sand that work as paint on his canvasses represent a lifetime immersed in the arts.

Jones has just donated 12 of his sand paintings to the Vernon Public Art Gallery (VPAG) to be a part of its permanent collection.

One of the paintings will go on auction at this Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 26th annual Midsummerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve of the Arts fundraiser, being held for a second year at Cenotaph Park in downtown Vernon.

Asked why he made the donation, Jones replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where I think they should be.

Most of the works, including paintings, sculpture and pottery, are currently on display in the gallery as well as at some local businesses downtown, said Kennedy Grant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are also taking pre-bids this year and the minimum offer will go to the live auction,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Those who purchase a ticket to Midsummerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s can also enjoy food served by the Sprouted Fig and Itty Bitty Catering as well as a featured drink provided by Okanagan Spirits. A cash bar will serve both Okanagan Spring ale and Gray Monk wines. Dr. Sharon McCoubrey, a professor at UBC Okanagan and chair of the Lake Country Art Walk, will emcee the event, while local musical group Zentangle will perform.

There may not be a haggis eating contest, but there’s a whole lot of Scottish going on at Silver Star Mountain Resort.

From now to July 20, North America’s largest bagpipe, drumming, and highland dance school, the Piping Hot Summer Drummer, marches into Silver Star’s colourful village with more than 300 participants looking to sharpen their skills.

Members of the highly decorated Simon Fraser University Pipe Band, including Jack Lee, J. Reid Maxwell, and the current world champion David Wilton, lead old and young through fun

and informative training sessions.

This is the 19th year the event has taken place at Silver Star and it’s always a favourite with the staff and community, said resort services manager Robin Baycroft.

“You always feel really important when you walk around the resort. Everywhere you go you are being piped in,” joked Baycroft.

“The event is very important for us as it brings families who book out hotel rooms, dine in the restaurants, and take part in the activities.”

There are a few free opportunities for the public to head up

to enjoy the sights of Silver Star and the sounds of the drums and bagpipes.

Today and July 20 at 10 a.m., there is a massed band and march through Silver Star village, and on Sunday at 7:30 p.m., the instructors will put on a show in Silver Star’s National Altitude Training Centre.

A student ceilidh (Gaelic for social gathering) will also take place in the Chilcoot Conference Centre on Thursday at 7 p.m. with the young musicians performing.

More information on the Piping Hot Summer Drummer School is available at www.phsd.net.

Spawned from Vancouver’s underground metal scene back in 2008, death metal trio Auroch is on a mission to give Canadian extreme metal traditions the respect they deserve.

The band, which plays Armstrong’s Branding Iron Pub tonight, brings them to the countless “maniacs” always anticipating the next epic death metal assault.

Following a number of smaller releases, Auroch is finally unleashing its soon-tobe-titled first full-length album this summer.

“The album is the inevitable and natural point of evolution from the past releases,”

Vancouver death metal band Auroch performs at the Branding Iron Pub in Armstrong tonight. said guitarist/vocalist Sebastian Montesi.

“These songs came together over the past year and represent the fiercest, fastest, most harrowing and barbaric of our written and cer-

tainly recorded material.”

Showcasing the band’s metamorphoses from thrash metal band into a full-fledged death metal assault, the debut full-length album

is “raw, relentless and tapping into a musical current of the wrath of (horror writer H.P.) Lovecraft’s Ancient Ones.

Any and all who question or condemn modern conventions should

sympathize with the ideologies and mythos provided. Fans of barbaric blasting and technical shredding should associate with the musicality,” said Montesi.

Also performing tonight at the Branding Iron starting at 9 p.m. is Vernon’s Xul, Armstrong’s Odinfist and Calgary’s Breathe Knives. Cover is $5.

The show comes before the full-on metal assault that is the Armstrong Metalfest when bands from throughout the Okanagan and western Canada converge at Hassen Arena for the two-day festival, July 20 and 21.

More information and tickets are available at www.armstrongmetalfest.com.

Shut your mouth and play John Mayer: Born and Raised

W

hen John Mayer stops doing interviews and makes music, the results are always noteworthy.

Especially so on Born and Raised, the singer/guitar/songwriter’s hazy acoustic fifth album where he heads to California several decades ago.

While Mayer may be a style traveler with a sleepy voice, his sojourns are variations on being a guitar hero Dean Gordon-Smith or chick-friendly acoustic poster. He does well in both situations.

As a guitarist he has a lyrical touch that he chases on this album. His playing has the ring of truth when he’s tasteful, more George Harrison than Jimi Hendrix, despite his stint as a blues rock guitar hero.

Mayer is always acoustically proficient, play-

STREET SOUNDS

ing and songwriting. On the sleeve photos Mayer strikes a cowboy pose. Or is it a pose? If so, it’s convincing when matched to the music within, but it’s probably a harbinger of another change.

Born and Raised is Mayer’s most atmospheric album yet and his strummy songs are beautifully shaded by producer Don Was and a core threepiece group consisting of Church Leavell on keys, Aaron Sterling, drums, and Sean Hurley on bass.

Mayer references Neil Young and California queens and it’s not idle imagery. He matches the words with sound and casts sun drenched desert vibes song by song. It feels natural, unlike many dilettantes in retro fashion and time-period grave robbery.

Also significant are the collaborations with David Crosby, Graham Nash and Jim Keltner, whose names scream ‘70s California rock.

Mayer has the songs that faithfully tap the spirit of west coast cowboy rock, and the album sounds like a full-fledged immersion in simple reflection and redwood acoustic rock, Topanga Canyon style.

It’s consistent and sincere.

plash might have made Tom Hanks a star, but Big was what made him a superstar.

The reason is simple, in Splash Hanks plays a man who falls for a mermaid.

In Big he plays a 13-year-old boy trapped in a man’s body.

It was this portrayal of innocent and brash Josh Baskin that made us all realize there was more to Hanks than Taylor & Howe pulling faces.

Big is also a bit of a time capsule. Forty year olds will want to see it as a trip down memory lane.

Kids will want to see it, if only because they rush to be adults.

If your wish is a movie about male strippers who are supposed to be attractive or a rockumentary about a bluehaired girl who’s supposed to be able to sing, these options are currently available to you. If you want to take your kids to something wholesome and worthy, go see Big, playing only once, at 11 a.m.

Saturday at Vernon’s Galaxy Cinemas.

We say, “Go Big, or go home.”

TAYLOR: This movie has at least three iconic scenes that every kid has seen parodied, at least on The Simpsons. Why not take your kids to the theatre to see where they originated?

HOWE: A couple of scenes stuck in my memory even before I watched this again; the first being the moment he looks in the mirror after his wish is fulfilled, seeing himself as a man. The sec-

Tom Hanks and Robert Loggia perform on the giant piano at New York toy store FAO Schwarz from a classic scene in the 1988 film, Big. ond scene is when he plays the walk-on piano with his boss: “Heart and soul, da da da da dada...”

TAYLOR: The film has a bit of a weird design to it. It makes the ‘80s look like the ‘50s, but I guess if you were a kid in the ‘80s and wanted to be different, you popped your collar and greased up your hair. So maybe the correlation is valid. I think, however, that it’s a product of the film being directed by Penny Marshall, well familiar with the time. The only reason I bring it up is because of the pronounced innocence of the boys, for instance, although being 13, wearing jammies with cowboys on them.

HOWE: There’s been a lot of remakes of this, not so of the film, but of the con-

cept: Freaky Friday and Thirteen Going on Thirty just to name a couple. But if you want to see the best, parents take your kids to this. Tom Hanks is great as playing the innocent young man.

TAYLOR: Make sure your kids are old enough to understand about the birds and bees. Josh Baskin doesn’t stay an innocent 30 year old for long. You’re not going to be exposed to anything dirty or obscene, but there is a clearly intimated sexual relationship with Josh’s girlfriend.

HOWE: So every 13-year-old boy’s dream then?

Taylor gives Big 3.5 cans of silly string out of 5.

Howe gives it 4 computerized comics out of 5.

Fellowship for Falkland CARA BRADY

Morning Star Staff

It is, as far as anyone knows, the only church in the world built by five denominations — Anglican, Alliance, Roman Catholic, Seventh-day Adventist and United Church.

The Falkland and District Community Church was officially opened and dedicated July 12, 1987 and celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. The idea first came up in 1977 when there were three churches — United, Roman Catholic and Anglican — all with 50-year-old buildings and dwindling congregations. There was general agreement that cooperating to erect one building could work, but nothing was done for the next nine years.

Then the project attracted its own angels. Marjorie Selody and Donna Leaf of the United Church got to work and inspired others to share their vision.

“I found out that the United Church owned the two lots where the church was then and these could be donated as the site for a new community church. We started working on the plans,” said Selody.

The pair literally drew up the plans.

“We took a tape measure to the existing United Church and thought about how we could make the best building for everyone. Then we started raising money, we thought it would take about $100,000, with bake sales, but we knew we had to do more,” said Leaf.

She had summoned the courage to talk to the Roman Catholic and Anglican bishops about the building and asked them if they would donate the land from their Falkland churches to be sold to raise money for the community church.

“I never thought I would be talking to bishops but it was wonderful to be able to do that. They were all in favour,” she said.

The committee to build the new church approached the MLA for an Expo 86 Legacy Grant to be told that the money was not available to religious groups. Members of the Seventh-day Adventist and Alliance Churches, who had been traveling far to attend their own church services, joined the project. The Falkland and District Community Church and Fellowship Society was formed and as a society received a grant of $72,000 because this unique project would benefit the entire community.

“We were so happy. Everything happened very quickly. It was just unbelievable. We had local contractors working with volunteers and we sold bricks as a fundraiser,” said Selody.

Everyone did as much as they could.

“There were so many volunteers. The community was alive. People who had

The new building remembers its roots with boards from the three original churches on one wall in the foyer and salvaged materials from the United Church in Vernon which had recently burned down, including doors and coloured glass used in a cross-shaped window. A door from the former Anglican church was

“I don’t know of any other community that can boast what we have here.”

— Marjorie Selody mounted outside, permanently open in its frame symbolizing that the door to the Lord is always open. The sod-turning for the new building was in April and it was dedicated July 12, 1987.

The society owns and operates the building and each of the denominations rented it for the time it needed. There were interdenominational services at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Now the Anglican, Baptist and Roman Catholic Churches have services and the building is also rented for community functions like weddings, funerals and social events and youth groups. Rental rates are kept reasonable by fundraisers like the Turkey Supper in the fall, Cowboy Church Concession on

rodeo weekend and Spaghetti Dinner in the spring.

“We have all worked very well together and there are lots of memories there. It’s a beacon in the community. I don’t know of any other community that can boast what we have here. It’s amazing, it never ceases to amaze me after all these years,” said Selody.

Leaf said it gives him a good feeling to know that people are using it and enjoying it.

“We feel that the Lord was with us.

We’d get a stumbling block and then we’d get just what we needed,” she said. “We had never been involved in planning or constructing a building before but there it is. Marjorie and I just work well together and we get ideas from each other.”

Their next project together was the Falkland Heritage Park Museum and Archives, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.

The Falkland and District Community Church and Fellowship Society has meetings the second Thursday of each month at 7:30 p.m. with everyone welcome to attend.

Lifetime membership is $2. The society will sponsor a community coffee house Oct. 27 in the Falkland Community Hall. All musicians and everyone else are invited.

The building’s anniversary will be celebrated at this year’s Turkey Supper Nov. 17 at 5 p.m. in the church basement.

Admission is by donation, with all proceeds going to the society for expenses and maintenance of the building and grounds.

Hubby wants solo holiday

D

ear Annie: My husband, “Kevin,” and I have been together for nine years. Every summer, Kevin used to go to the beach for a week’s vacation with a family he was close to. The entire group numbered about 15 people. Three years ago, Kevin told me he wanted to start taking vacations with them again. I was not invited. Kevin said there wasn’t enough room, and he’d have to sleep on the floor, which wouldn’t work for his chronic back problems.

This year, I Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar insisted on being included, so he grudgingly asked if I could come, but it is a sore spot now. I have spoken to Kevin multiple times about my feelings of abandonment stemming from his preference to exclude me from these vacations, and I never get a direct answer as to why he doesn’t want me to come. All he says is that he’s afraid I’ll somehow insult them.

Annie, I had nothing against these people until my husband started ditching me to be with them.

Worse, the 34-year-old daughter has come to our house twice and made herself right at home, taking food from the fridge and glasses from the cabinet.

ANNIE'S MAILBOX

She’s had drug problems and recently was arrested for breaking and entering.

This makes me uneasy, particularly since Kevin takes a lot of prescription medications.

I get angry whenever I hear one of them talking about the next beach trip, and I start criticizing them to Kevin because I can’t seem to get through to him how this makes me feel. What can I do? — Sad, Hurt and Confused Dear Sad: The fact that your husband wants to take his summer vacation without his wife and in the company of a drug abuser is suspicious and worrisome.

Frankly, we think this environment is unhealthy for Kevin, and that’s why he doesn’t want you around. Stop criticizing this family and work on Kevin. He’s not being honest with you.

Dear Annie: My 33-year-old daughter is expecting my first grandchild soon.

Her friends are giving her a baby shower in two weeks.

My son, who lives near his sister, has a “surprise” new wife who has not been invited. My daughter thinks it would be too stressful to meet her new sister-in-law for the first time at her shower. I think all the female members of the family should be invited, even new ones.

I will be flying in to attend the shower and want to visit my son and his new bride. This means he will wonder why

I’m in town. I don’t want his new wife to feel slighted that she wasn’t invited to the shower. I realize I can’t tell my 33-yearold daughter what to do. I just don’t know whether to tell my son that we are coming. — Don’t Like Secrets Dear Secrets: It is not a lie to tell your son that you are in town to meet his new wife, because that is part of your trip.

However, if your daughter truly wanted to include her new sister-in-law at the shower, she could easily make her acquaintance within the next two weeks. She is being unkind, and this could lead to future problems. Please do your best to encourage her to invite her brother’s new wife.

Dear Annie: This is in reply to “Trish,” who sent her guidelines for dating. She said he or she must be employed, own his or her own car, and cannot live with his or her mother or sleep on his or her best friend’s couch.

When I met my husband, he had no job, didn’t own a car and was sleeping on his best friend’s couch. Within a year, he joined the Marines and we were married.

After serving in Vietnam, he came home and together we raised two sons.

We have had the most wonderful 47 years. He’s the best husband and father I could imagine: loving, patient and caring. I’m so grateful that I was unaware of Trish’s guidelines and followed my heart — Truly Blessed

Hephzibah: Isa. 62:1 “for Zion’s sake will I (God) not hold my peace, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest... thou shalt be called Hephzibah (my delight is in thee) for the LORD delighteth in thee and thy land shall be married.” Her name applies to the city of Jerusalem which is to be married to God as a virgin is married to a young man - the man’s name is named upon the woman.

Psa. 16:3: “But to the saints (hagios: religious, consecrated to God) in whom is all my delight.”

Fulton grad earns prestigious scholarship Morning Star Staff

Schulich Leader Scholarships have awarded two University of Victoria undergraduate students each a $60,000 four-year entrance scholarship — the largest science, technology, engineering and mathematics-based scholarship of its kind in Canada.

Jennifer Borchert, a graduate of Clarence Fulton secondary school and Aliya Khan of Gladstone secondary school in Vancouver are two of 40 students from 20 Canadian universities receiving the scholarship.

These students have been selected to rep-

resent their schools as the inaugural Schulich Leaders scholars, recognizing students who demonstrate academic excellence and plan to study in one of the four key disciplines and who show community leadership.

Borchert, who is planning to enroll in the Bachelor of Science program, was acknowledged for her role in helping to build a gravel walking-path on school and city property alongside a preserved wetland, for contributing to the construction of a wall at an orphanage in Nicaragua, and for her volunteer work at

the North Okanagan Hospice Society.

“I have learned that if I care about something, I can make a difference,” said Borchert in her letter to the selection committee.

Schulich Leaders were selected from a pool of nominees who applied through the university application process.

Every high school, secondary school and CEGEP (in Quebec) nominated one student each to be eligible to receive the scholarship.

This year there were 977 Schulich Leader nominees.

Canadian business leader and philanthro-

pist Seymour Schulich created Schulich Leader Scholarships.

In addition to the Canadian program, a similar Schulich Leader Scholarships program is being carried out in Israel. This historic $100 million scholarship initiative was implemented to secure the future economic competitiveness of Canada and Israel and is designed to ensure that future Canadian and Israeli leaders are among the next pioneers of global scientific research and innovation. In 2012 there will be 40 Canadian and 10 Israeli Schulich Leaders.

Stars hit the dance floor Morning Star Staff

The stars have been lined up for the 2012 Dancing with the Vernon Stars.

Now in its fifth year, this fundraiser is bringing out 10 dancing pairs for the theme of “Believe,” and participants believe they have what it takes to win one of the two coveted trophies: Community Favourite for the dancers that secure the most votes and Overall Winner, determined by a combination of judges’ scores and total votes.

Organizers are now looking for local sponsors, working with Wayside Printing to create the souvenir magazine/program, and reaping the expertise of local behind-the-scenes technicians while the local celebrity dancers are perfecting their dance moves.

Galina Labun (Vantage One Credit Union) and husband Daniel are “ideal for the dramatic Tango,” says instructor/organizer Lorna Robb from Cheek to Cheek Dance Studio. “You can be sure that they will heat up the dance floor with their costumes and chemistry.”

Mayor Rob Sawatzky is very suave in his Foxtrot with Robb.

“I knew he was fit but was pleasantly surprised at the great feel he has for music. I can’t say more than that without giving away our routine,” said Robb with a smile.

Vernon newcomer, dance instructor/ fitness expert Tracy Holly from The Cory Holly Institute is teaching another Vernon politician. You can see Coun. Brian Quiring and wife Dorothy in their premiere dance performance doing the waltz for the North Okanagan Hospice Society fundraiser.

“Only three more months,” said Robb to all the dancers who include: Richard Finn (Wayside Printing); Annette Sharkey (Social Planning Council) and partner Cliff Lattery; Angie and Matt Tumlinson (The Sprouted Fig); Dennis Beaton (Watkin Motors); Darcy Sochan (Century 21); George Duffy (Vernon Chamber of Commerce) and wife Alanna; Valerie Blundell (North Okanagan Hospice Society) and partner Myles Ferryman.

Robb has experienced the North

Okanagan Hospice Society first-hand.

“We are so fortunate to have this wonderful place in our community,” she said.

“In March 2011 my dad died at the North Okanagan Hospice Society in a peaceful, respectful, comfortable way.

“In June of this year I was in Ontario for the end of my mother’s life and we tried to give her a similar experience. There was no such place where she lived. There was a palliative care wing in the hospital and

the staff there were fantastic, but it made me realize how incredible the community is in Vernon and what a treasure we have here in the local Hospice House.”

Tickets and voting for Dancing with the Vernon Stars will start in August. Make sure you save the date for this annual soldout event: Oct. 5 at the Recreation Centre auditorium. For more information, please contact Robb at 250-545-6539 or lorna@ dancecheektocheek.com

Greening the Games Morning Star Staff

Organized sport events, no matter how big or small, have an environmental impact.

With the help of its motivated volunteers, the BC Games Society is striving to reduce its environmental impact and raise awareness.

Community-driven programs initiated by the BC Winter and BC Summer Games volunteers are contributing to reducing the environmental impact of the Games and are developing leaders by increasing environmental awareness among Games participants, volunteers, and community members.

For example, the 2008 BC Winter Games in Kimberley and Cranbrook established best practices to reduce environmental impact.

A volunteer team of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go Greenâ&#x20AC;? Ambassadors were active and visible during the Games implementing the plan and raising awareness.

This communityled initiative developed youth leaders and established important benchmarks that future hosts could refer to in order to reduce their environmental impact.

The 2010 Summer Games in the Township of Langley took the lead to ensure all food waste was composted and recycling bins were available at all sport venues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The challenge for BC Games host communities is the great variety of available resources to implement changes in areas such as transportation, food services, and venue operations,â&#x20AC;? said Kelly Mann, president and chief executive officer of the BC Games Society.

KEVIN BOGETTI-SMITH PHOTO â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, given that The BC Games use an enerthere is a clear desire gy-efficient LED torch for by participants and festivities. host communities to reduce environmental impact, the BC Games Society took the lead to develop information and resources for community volunteers to adapt to guide policy and implement action plans.â&#x20AC;?

Before the 2010 BC Summer Games, Metro Vancouver, the regional government responsible for waste management in the Greater Vancouver area, provided policy and planning support.

What resulted is a set of resources and samples that reflect the unique structure of the BC Games and consider the many different communities involved.

The BC Games resource materials complement other established â&#x20AC;&#x153;greenâ&#x20AC;? Games standards such as a no-idling policy for all Games transportation vehicles.

No bottled water is supplied to venues at the BC Games and athletes are required to bring a reusable water bottle to fill with tap water throughout their competitions.

Greening the Games also comes in places you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect. Until 2009, the BC Games torch was lit 100 days prior to the opening ceremony.

This torch burned 900,000 cubic feet of natural gas and contributed 12 tonnes of green house gases to the atmosphere.

The gas torch is now retired and replaced with an energy-efficient LED torch that draws 850 watts of energy - comparable to a household toaster.

This torch symbolizes the innovation and initiative that the BC Games will strive to adopt with other environmentally responsible initiatives moving forward.

The only lakefront resort of this style in Vernon.

Come into the sales of¿ce for a tour today.

Priscilla & Company

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) When confronted with some challenging developments, your stronger qualities are likely to emerge and will handle things well. You’ll be tough to beat once the will to win is awakened within you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your observations and comments will carry much more weight with your peers than usual. This is because your answers will benefit an entire group rather than any one individual.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Even though your imagination might go overboard at times and make you fearful, should you actually be confronted with a crisis, you’ll be remarkably courageous and wise.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Finally some balance and order is likely to be restored in a situation that has been a bit unsettling lately. Everyone involved will be anxious to improve things and make good things happen.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Press just a little bit harder, and something on which you’ve been working can be brought to a successful conclusion at this time.

You’ll be glad you put forth the extra effort.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your mate or special someone will be most appreciative if you give his or her concerns the same priority that you give your own. You don’t have to do more; just don’t do less.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Although you’ll be rather fortunate in terms of the rewards you derive from

your labor, you need selfgratification as well as material gain. Make sure you do a good job.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Material objectives can be achieved through what you do for others. You’ll be luckier working on behalf of family and cohorts than you will be striving solely for your own desires.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Normally, it’s wise to leave your credit cards at home when you go windowshopping, but today you could stumble upon a rare item that you’ve been wanting for a long time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’re likely to be quick on your feet and able to express yourself in eloquent terms. If you have any verbal presentations you need to make, now is the time to do so.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your financial pattern could at last turn the corner and make a huge improvement.

Those bright rays of hope will break through even the most difficult of obstacles.

HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy.

What can I do?

A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Bridge by Phillip Alder ONE QUANDARY OF OUR GAME John Thaw, an English actor, said, “In the same way he’s fascinated by crosswords, the puzzle of solving the murder is what drives him on.” About whom was he talking?

Today’s column highlights one of the tougher puzzles of bridge. Your side holds game-going high-card power, has only a minor-suit fit, and finds out that three no-trump is impossible.

How do you judge when to bid game in the minor and when to stop at the fourlevel because there are three top losers?

South opened one club, West overcalled one spade, and North responded two hearts, which guaranteed at least a five-card suit and

10-plus points. Now East might have raised to two spades, but with such a weak, balanced hand, one can understand his pass.

After South’s three-club rebid, North cue-bid three spades, asking South to convert to three no-trump with a spade stopper. Now East might have made a lead-directing double, but he passed again.

What should South have done now? She had no spade stopper or secondary heart support. Should she have rebid four clubs with her minimum high-card count, or jumped to five clubs because she had only two spades and solid trumps?

Her actual four-club bid almost ended the auction.

North, noting East’s silence, was worried that South

had three low spades and that five clubs would lose the first three tricks. But eventually he gambled on game, which made easily.

As you will have gathered, I think South should have jumped to five clubs.

John Thaw was talking about his most famous role, Inspector Morse.
