Highway crash claims life ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Police continue to investigate a fatal motorcycle accident near Vernon Tuesday. Nathan Halisheff, a 33-year-old from Clandonald, Alta., located nearly 60 kilometres northwest of Lloydminster, was killed after he fell off his 2011 HarleyDavidson entering Highway 97 northbound from Stickle Road shortly before 6:30 p.m. “As he was entering the highway, the
VERNON TOYOTA
motorcyclist lost control of the bike, the driver was ejected and contact was made with a northbound pickup pulling an RV in the slow lane,” said Cpl. Gerry Kovacs. Halisheff, the lone occupant of the bike, was rushed to Vernon Jubilee Hospital but he had succumbed to his injuries. He had been riding with another individual who was able to pull out in front of the truck. The two B.C. tourists in the pickup, a man and woman, said Kovacs, were
shaken from the incident. Road conditions were good at the time of the accident, and the investigation is being carried out by the RCMP’s North Okanagan Traffic Services and an accident reconstruction investigator. The bike has been seized by RCMP and will undergo a mechanical inspection. RCMP are asking for any witnesses to the collision or who noticed the vehicles prior to the crash to call 250-545-7171.
The RCMP are crediting the communities of Enderby and Ashton Creek for helping to bring a potentially dangerous situation to an end Tuesday. Police received reports of shots being fired at a home on Kildonan Avenue in Enderby shortly before 6 p.m. “Our investigation revealed that a 47-year-old Enderby man attended the residence, armed with a hunting rifle,” said RCMP Cpl. Gerry Kovacs. “He fired a single shot into an unoccupied vehicle parked at the residence.” The shot brought a woman at the home outside to confront the man, and a verbal exchange ensued. A second shot was fired but Kovacs could not confirm it was fired at the woman. “It’s a little too early to definitively answer that,” said Kovacs. “The investigation will work those details out.” Kovacs did say the house was targeted, and that the incident was not a random act. The woman took refuge in the house and was not injured in the altercation. The suspect jumped into a pickup truck and fled the scene. Police immediately deployed a helicopter and police dog services to search for the truck and the suspect around the community, and roadblocks were set up in surrounding communities. A short time after the incident, police received information about the whereabouts of the vehicle, and that the suspect was willing to surrender himself on Enderby-Mabel Lake Road. A man was arrested without incident on the road near Ashton Creek. “This entire event unfolded within an hour-anda-half, and we’re crediting our ability to quickly and successfully resolve this incident to the trust and co-operation we received from the communities of Enderby and Ashton Creek,” said Kovacs. He added that the incident was an excellent example of how integrated detachments have an ability to quickly mobilize large numbers of police resources to adequately deal with serious incidents. David Duaine Almaas has been charged with three firearms offences and one count of mischief, and further charges could be possible as the investigation unfolds. Almaas has been remanded in custody pending his next court appearance in Salmon Arm Provincial Court July 24.

News Gallery delivers a colourful midsummer eve KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
I
t was a night of appraising and kibitzing as patrons gathered for the 26th annual Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts. Around 250 patrons, dressed in cool finery due to the steamy temperatures, supported the Vernon Public Art Gallery’s main fundraiser of the year, which was held for a second year at downtown Vernon’s Cenotaph Park Wednesday. As East Indian sounds drifted courtesy of musical trio Zentangle, patrons nibbled from appetizers by The Fig and Itty Bitty Catering, and imbibed on Okanagan Spring ales, Gray Monk wines and Okanagan Spirits’ special drink consisting of its own distilled gin, decorated with cucumber slices. “That was one — Norris of my highlights,� said VPAG executive director Dauna Kennedy Grant, who also enjoyed the bidding wars that took place during the live auction. “It’s fun to see that action and it was lively this year.� At 18 months old, Merryn Wright could not take her eyes off the colourful art works in the live auction tent; with one in particular grabbing her attention –– the petroglyph inspired acrylic on elk hide drum painted by Okanagan Nation member David Wilson. “We’re just enjoying looking at the art,� said her mom Jane. Also perusing the art in the silent auction, which had just as colourful and diverse pieces, artist Destanne Norris said she was happy to support the art gallery by donating one of her paintings, which she made specifically for the event. “I wanted to give something from Vernon, and we have such beautiful sunsets here, you have to keep your head up,� she said. “I think the gallery is a cultural institution for the community and one that is growing. Personally, I am happy to see the changes as the gallery works to get a new space.� Back at the helm of the live auction were cattle auctioneers Don Raffan and Rod Burnett of Valley Auction, who delivered

true Vernon. We are unique because of fun things like that,� said Kennedy Grant. His paddle raised for fellow artist Julie Oakes’ painting, which went to another bidder, metal sculptor Doug Alcock said watching one’s work go on the block is always an interesting experience. “It’s also nerve wracking,� he said. The night also ended with a surprise. Hidden away from view until it was brought out as the last bid was a metallic hand built by celebrated Vernon artist Cory Fuhr. The piece fetched $1,500. “It was a nice way to end the evening,� said Kennedy Grant, adding Shawn Serfas’ acrylic on canvas, entitled Shroud, fetched the highest bid of the night at $1,700. “We also closed the silent auction after the live auction this year, which was popular. The artists really stepped up this year. The quality of the artwork was really exceptional and people recognized that.� At earliest count, approximately $28,000

If we didn’t have this, we would have to cut staff,� said Kennedy Grant, who is already looking forward to next year. “The other nice thing is the comments and feedback that we get. We encourage that people give feedback so we can look to tweak it and make it better.�

RDNO officials will sit down and determine how to put pressure on the ministry to initiate

Lumby defends current process RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Lumby is not interested in a regional bureaucracy to promote job growth. Council does not support the Regional District of North Okanagan forming an economic development function. It is satisfied with the service being provided by the City of Vernon through a contract. “The regional district has taken this monster on before and it has never worked because it was under-fundKevin Acton ed and was done off someone’s desk,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. Acton added that there is also a concern about the financial impact on the village. “We’re not in a position to spend that kind of money on a regional function.” Besides the contract with Vernon, Lumby will also pursue other opportunities to expand the economy. “We will work with the chambers of commerce in the North Okanagan more closely,” said Acton.

Local politicians will finally have a chance to defend the interests of farm families and the economy. Regional District of North Okanagan representatives will meet Health Minister Michael de Jong today in West Kelowna to discuss the impact of meat regulations on processors and producers. “Local farmers need action,� said chairperson Patrick Nicol. A meeting was scheduled for last month but it was cancelled because of de Jong’s schedule. RDNO wants the Ministry of Health and the Interior Health Authority to issue class D and E meat inspection licences in the region. A class D licence allows for the on-farm slaughter of up to 25 animal units with one animal unit equaling 1,000 pounds liveweight. That would mean 25 cows, 2,500 chickens, 40 pigs and 300 lambs. A class E licence

The number of meat producers in the North Okanagan has decreased from 1,200 to about 300. allows for the slaughter of up to 10 animal units. While it has been suggested previously that such licenses could be issued to North Okanagan farmers, that has never occurred. It’s believed the number of local meat producers has gone from 1,200 to 300 since the provincial regulations came into effect in 2007.
“They can’t turn down licences over and over. They (farmers) are hurting,� said Nicol. Among those who will meeting with de Jong is Spallumcheen director Janice Brown, who is concerned about farmers in her community. “They are bringing policies in and they have no idea of what the impact is,� she said of the government.

The remainder of the road is the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transportation. The city’s portion is being analyzed to determine the condition of the road to decide when work should proceed and what kind of work should occur. “We don’t want to rush into the higher cost of re-construction now when the cheaper option of re-paving it later is what may be needed,� said Dickinson.

Bricks part of VSS’s stature All in all it’s just another brick in the wall – Pink Floyd nybody who has ever attended Vernon Secondary School knows Pink Floyd’s lyrics from their amazing 1979 album The Wall (and subsequent amazing film, The Wall, released in 1982) could be describing what was once Vernon’s only high school. VSS, really, is just a lot of bricks. Ever take a close look at it, those of you who have never been to the school, when you’ve driven past it, walked past it, played on the old sports field beside 15th Street, or gone tobogganing with Roger Knox the kids down the hill leading to the field? One of the things that always sticks with VSS students and staff is the fact, for some reason, when it was built in the 1960s, somebody thought it was OK to build a house of learning without a lot of windows. There are windows in the staff room, windows in the library, and windows beside the doors into the building. Other than that... The classrooms were the last choice for windows. They didn’t get any. The lack of windows and the bricks were among the topics of conversation with members of VSS Class of 1982 (Yahoo ‘82!), who recently had a tour of the old hallowed halls as part of their 30-year reunion festivities. Even current VSS principal Morris Vardabasso showed up and joked about the building as he addressed the group of close to 125 before they descended upon the school’s five levels. “Rumour is you guys want to take a brick home as a souvenir. If you do that, the school will collapse,” smiled Vardabasso, drawing huge laughter from the alumni who got the brick reference.
A
AT RANDOM
The tour was arranged with permission from the school district, and organizers also had the luxury of having two Yahoo ‘82! members – teacher Mike Sawka and maintenance man Todd Hay – currently on staff at VSS. Co-organizer Debbie Poggemoeller (née Striker) invited me – a proud card-carrying member of the VSS Class of ‘81 (Gard ‘81!) – to take part in the tour. I’ve been in the old school a number of times, covering school stories, speaking to a class or taking pictures, and it’s always special for me to go back inside. Instantly, I am transported back to a happier, simpler time. I consider my two years at VSS among the best in my life. I met so many great people who remain friends to this day. One of the first people I ran into at the tour was such a friend, Catherine Polder, who now lives in Vancouver. She and I were in Barb Silvester’s typing 11 class – Catherine sat right in front of me – and we started reminiscing about our time in the class. It was Polder’s first trip back to the school since she graduated. The school with the bricks is giving way in January (if on time) to a new, updated VSS with loads of windows. While some thought of the old VSS as a prison or a dark, cold place because of the building, there are a lot of great memories and stories inside the halls for a lot of people in the community (the VSS Class of ‘72 also had a tour as part of its reunion weekend this summer). My sister and sister-in-law were members of the first graduating class of VSS in 1969. My brother graduated from there in 1973. His four sons are all VSS alumni. My son will be attending the new VSS starting in September 2013. He was with me on the tour – which was cut short for me because of a breaking news story – and I’d hoped to show him a lot of the school and the memories it holds for me. If I could ask the Vernon School District a favour: before you tear down the old VSS, hold an open public tour of the old school, and host it over a weekend, Saturday and Sunday. And maybe let us take home some bricks.
The flood alerts are over and the sand bags are being cleaned up, but the Ministry of Transportation is still waterlogged. Two critical transportation routes in the BX — East Vernon and Tillicum roads — still remain closed to through traffic although the high water that caused damage to culverts is long gone. The situation has meant a long, roundabout detour for residents trying to access their homes or to get into Vernon to work or shop. It has also been difficult for guests to access Cedar Falls Campground, a significant issue during the height of the tourism season. But more importantly, the closure of the two roads has limited the BX-Swan Lake Fire Department’s ability to respond during an emergency. That not only could impact property, but lives could be at risk. Also consider that much of the BX sits in the forest interface and a quick response will be required during a wildfire. We fully understand that the last month has been extremely busy for the ministry, with flooding causing substantial damage to roads and highways in Ashton Creek, Sicamous and other areas. But to keep ignoring the situation facing BX residents is unacceptable. It should be pointed out that rural residents pay taxes to the provincial government for a basic level of service and that part of the deal is not being fulfilled. In the end, one has to wonder why BX residents are not receiving the respect they deserve? Would the response time have been different if someone from the ministry lived on one of those roads?

Armstrong proposal raises concerns
I
attended a meeting a few weeks ago, along with various members of the Armstrong business community and Mayor Pieper. The meeting was about the proposed rezoning at the corner of Harding Road and Highway 97A. The proposed rezoning was to support a development: expansion from 0.2 of a hectare (about five city lots) to more than one hectare of tourist commercial property (about two football fields) with enough room for a motel and two restaurants. Although the legal public hearing requirements have been met, there are some issues in this proposal that need to be seriously considered before council does final reading of this bylaw. I think it would be remiss of council to support a development that would further split Armstrong’s commercial base into not two, as it now is, but three distinct areas. I’m more concerned about municipal services. First of all, traffic flow. The entrance to this development would not be on the highway, but on Harding
IN RESPONSE Re: public sector jobs letter, July 1. I'm tired of hearing people whine about the fact that they think they deserve more and everyone else deserves less, even if there is a difference in education level, training or location of the other worker. The letter writer should have explained where she read her statistics to come up with figures of $94,000 as an average government worker's wage in 2012. I Googled "Canadian government average wage" and it came up with the Statistics Canada website. This site gives a much different picture of the wages paid to civil servants in this country. The site also gives the averages of each provincial government worker wages if anyone wants to check it out. Does she really believe that the person behind the wicket at our friendly neighborhood government office makes anywhere near $94,000. That wage would mean that the average public sector employee who works 40 hours a week, 50 weeks of the year, should make

Road. Harding Road is an access point for all traffic for the residences in the golf course area. If that area is fully developed, Harding Road will need to be improved. Are the general taxpayers of Armstrong going to bear those costs or is road widening and general improvement costs borne by the developer? The traffic flow on the highway is also a concern. Traffic can come from north or south easily into that area. But because there are no merge exit lanes in that area or a traffic light, all Harding Road traffic, in order to exit back on to the highway,
about $47 per hour. The letter writer also wants us to demand fairness between public and private sector wages. Too bad she wasn't around in the '70s and '80s when my wages in the field of electronics were 30 per cent less than the private sector, like TV repair. I know because I used to do that as a part-time job to make ends meet. The reason I joined the public sector at a lower wage was precisely because of the likelihood of security of employment. This could be the same reason she works for less money in order to live in the Okanagan. She could likely find higher paying jobs if she was willing to relocate as I did. As for benefits, golden hand shakes, etc., I worked for the federal government for 29 years and quit when an opportunity to work overseas presented itself. All I received was a return of my contributions to my pension and I now live on my savings and the Canada Pension Plan. People really need to quit bash-
ing other regular folk trying to make a living and focus on raising the wages for everyone. Think of it this way, what would happen to this country if everyone made $10.50 an hour? Less tax revenue for the governments, fewer services, no money for roads, infrastructure, medicare, schools, etc. There is a reason why a Third World country is a Third World country and it is not because of high wages. The reason the so called middle class Canadian is disappearing is because of people who seem to believe we should all be the working poor except for the less than 10 per cent who collect 90 per cent of the wealth of this country. A missing middle class equals a Third World country. Andre Langlois LACK OF FUNDING I am struggling with the province of B.C. and the federal government over a financial issue. The issue is that I was told there is a lack of money available for a business loan.
EFLECTIONS HAIR & ESTHETICS STUDIO
200-3101 48 Ave, Vernon (next to Sears) th
has to cross two or three lanes of oncoming traffic. My other concern is water flow which affects us all in Armstrong. That area is currently serviced by water flow that is sufficient to meet residential, not commercial standards. The cost of the initial water flow upgrade for the 0.2 hectares was to be borne by the developer. The matter of who is going to bear the cost for the upgrade for the one-hectare development was not clear to me. Council’s own engineer stated that it would not be prudent to go ahead
with this rezoning until the issue of water flow had been dealt with. At the meeting I attended, Mayor Pieper assured the audience there would be no additional costs borne by taxpayers, but I have no idea whether or not a cost-shared agreement is in fact in place or agreed to by all parties. It sounds like it is something that might happen in the future. I think then to follow council’s past logic on other issues, the rezoning proposal could be tabled indefinitely until it is more imminent. Even if the fire flows are in place and everyone has agreed who pays, and it’s not the taxpayer, and the road is wide enough and everyone has agreed who is paying for that, and it’s not the taxpayer, it would be hard to convince me this is not creating a problem where more lives could be lost with increased traffic flows at an already unsafe highway crossing. I’m not against a hotel or more restaurants. But, I would encourage council to encourage development where the municipal services are already in place. Joanne Feenstra
This loan was intended to assist me to eventually get off a combination of provincial and federal disability pensions. Disappointment in government disappoints me. Go figure that. William Cundy WHY THE SECRET? Regarding a recent letter in the Morning Star describing sunny Okanagan days spoiled by chemtrails, I would like to add that after retiring here from the Lower Mainland six years ago, I thankfully enjoyed blue skies again. It was short lived, however, before the same pattern that was first brought to my attention in the Vancouver skies during 1998, was appearing here in the Okanagan more frequently. Now, barely a day passes that is not spoiled by these chemtrails expanding into the predictable white cloudy haze. For 14 years, I have wondered why no one in the media has not brought this up. Why is it such a secret? Why is there no interest? Roy Hetherington

Township won’t refund taxes ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The Price was not right for Spallumcheen council. Dudley Price, who now lives in Armstrong, approached Spallumcheen council in April, stating he had been overpaying taxes on his Lansdowne Road property for 13 years. Through the process of selling the site, he discovered the parcel wasn’t as big as he thought it was when he purchased it in 1999. Price was seeking reimbursement for overpaying his taxes. After the matter was deferred twice so staff could do some digging into the situation, council voted unanimously Monday not to pay back Price. That came following a recommendation from staff who stated the acreage size mistake was made by the original land surveyor. “It’s not unexpected,
PHOTO SUBMITTED
Spallumcheen council has voted not to pay back taxes accrued on land smaller than originally considered. I guess,� said Price of the decision. “I obviously thought they would have a sense of honour about it but I’ve come to expect there’s not any sense of honour at any level of government.� Price told council in April that his property was listed on the Spallumcheen tax roll at 3.83 acres, and that’s what he had been paying taxes on. When he was in the process of selling his property, a home inspection and bank appraisal
found the acreage to be smaller, 2.81 acres. Price was seeking nearly $1,300 in compensation from the township for a survey done on his parcel. At the April meeting, council deferred the matter until staff could complete a report outlining summary of costs for a legal survey and overpayment of taxes. On June 18, chief financial officer Brian Freeman-Marsh presented council with a three-page report that gave a history of the
property parcel, saying it first appeared as 3.83 acres on the tax roll in 1965. Staff questioned whether a survey certificate for the parcel obtained by Price at the time of his purchase would have provided additional information that may have impacted his decision to buy the property. “While staff are sympathetic to Mr. Price’s situation, the township is not in a position to conduct a review on the parcel size of every

lot within the municipal boundaries,� wrote Freeman-Marsh in his report, “and instead relies on third-party reporting to initiate any corrections required, or the opportunity of property owners to utilize the B.C. Assessment Appeal Process.� It was staff ’s recommendation that council not authorize payment of any reimbursement of past property taxes and survey costs claimed by Price. Council debated the report for nearly 30 minutes at the June meeting, with several councillors stating that if it was the township’s mistake, the township should own up. Again, the matter was deferred until staff could come up with the original survey of the property, and determine which company performed the survey. Freeman-Marsh presented a copy of the original plan, conducted by a Vernon surveyor, who completed the survey Sept. 17, 1961, and had the plan sworn into record Sept. 21, 1961. The copy also shows the plan was deposited into the B.C. Land Registry in Kamloops June 2, 1965.

Market an economic force Morning Star Staff
Besides cherries, lettuce and carrots, the Vernon Farmers Market is also raising a lot of dough. A recent study indicates the market pumps close to $3.35 million into the local economy annually. “Although people know the market is a great place to buy fresh, local food, the results of this study help us communicate to others how valuable the farmers’ market is to our community,” said Wayne Seabrook, market manager. About 100,000 people visit the farmers market annually and on the day of the study, June 21, 1,716 people were at the market. About 326 of these individuals participated in the survey. More than twothirds of shoppers visit the market either regularly (almost weekly) or frequently (two to three times per month). The results of this year’s assessment show that the market has grown significantly since 2006. According to Seabrook, the increase is a result of a growing public awareness about the impact of local food on the environment and local economy. “The Vernon Farmers Market is one of the oldest farm markets in the Okanagan and is regarded as one of the very best,” he said. More than 100 growers and artisans a year take part in the market from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday and Thursday at Wesbild Centre.

A recent study shows the Vernon Farmers Market has an economic impact of $3.5 million a year. “Buskers and live entertainment often add to the cheerful atmosphere and special event Mondays are featured every long weekend,” said Seabrook. The local study is part of a provincewide assessment of the impact of markets on the economy. “This project builds upon the results of a similar study we did in 2006,” said David Connell, a professor from the University of Northern B.C. who is leading the provincial project.

Arborist hits the road Vernon’s own Phil Graham, a utility arborist, plans to fundraise more than $3,500 to spend a week cycling 900 kilometers through Oregon – all in support of tree research. The Aug. 5 to 11 event is the Stihl Tour des Trees, and over the past 20 years, it has raised more than $5 million for Tree Research and Education Endowment Fund. “The Stihl Tour des Trees started out as a bucket list item for me in 2003, but as soon as I rode that tour, I was hooked,” said Graham. “This will be my eighth tour, and this year I welcome other riders to my backyard, the Pacific Northwest.” Graham is well on his way to raising the $3,500 minimum donation required to take part in the ride, which helps to fund scientific research grants, education programs and scholarships administered by the TREE Fund.

Phil Graham is preparing for the Stihl Tour des Trees in Oregon. tunity to experience a different part of the world from a bike each year, planting trees and raising awareness of the importance of tree research and proper care for urban trees. Last year’s tour travelled from Virginia Beach, Va., to Washington, D.C., planted more than 45 new trees and raised more than $500,000. “The cyclists of the Stihl
Tour des Trees are the lifeblood of the TREE Fund,” said Janet Bornancin, foundation president. “Not only do they raise the funds necessary to ensure that tree research continues, they devote a week to cycling across the country, carrying the message of science-based tree care to the communities whose trees will benefit from their efforts.”
Mosquito control considered RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
At least one North Okanagan politician believes it may be time to take a swat at mosquitoes. Director Jackie Pearase says the regional district should investigate establishing a mosquito control program because the provincial government has eliminated funding for such efforts. “I want to see what it would mean to taxpayers,” she said. The primary focus of a function would be nuisance mosquitoes although there is a concern about the possible spread of West Nile virus. “If it’s a health issue, the province needs to come to the table,” said Pearase, pointing out that health is Victoria’s jurisdiction. The primary problem spots for mosquito development are standing water along the Shuswap River corridor from Lumby to Enderby. Pearase, though,
“I want to see what it would mean to taxpayers.” — Jackie Pearase admits opinions about a control program are mixed among her rural Enderby constituents. “There are some people who say they want control and others who say don’t bother.”
For the Regional District of North Okanagan to hire a contractor to control mosquitoes, it could cost between $91,300 and $158,000 a year depending on the amount of
work that has to be done. The government eliminated funding for mosquito control, saying there is minimal risk of West Nile virus. Patrick Nicol, RDNO chairperson, isn’t sure that was the best approach to take. “I’m a bit discouraged they don’t see the value in this,” he said. The Regional District of Central Okanagan has a mosquito control function in place.

City opposes regional plan RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Enderby doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want its hands tied over economic development. Officials are reluctant to support the Regional District of North Okanagan creating an economic development function. There is a preference for the current model which sees Vernon provide the service under a contract. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to find something that works for our community,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Brad Case, adding that a service must be Brad Case cost-effective and responsive to local needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to have more say in how it works.â&#x20AC;? RDNO has provided an economic development function in the past but it fell apart because of differences of opinion among the participants. Mayor Howie Cyr isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t convinced history needs to repeat itself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not inclined to get into a full-blown service,â&#x20AC;? he said. Besides continuing with a contract with Vernon, Cyr points out that Enderby is also close to Salmon Arm and it can play a role in expanding the economy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can leave ourselves open to both ends of our community.â&#x20AC;?

Lake Country and North Westside residents are urged to restock and update their emergency grab and go kits, or to take the time to prepare their first kit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During any emergency, we all need some basic supplies,â&#x20AC;? said Jason Brolund, with the Regional District of Central Okanagan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remember, you may be without electricity or water and should be prepared to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly easier to prepare the items you and your family might need to take now, when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no pressure, than it is after receiving a knock at the door telling you to leave your home in an evacuation.â&#x20AC;? Brolund adds that along with preparing a kit, residents can visit www.cordemergency.ca and subscribe to an online email notification program. Whenever a news release, maps or other official information is sent from the emergency operation centre, subscribers will get it delivered directly to their e-mail inbox.

Apartment safety critical Morning Star Staff
With many Vernon residents calling apartments home, there is a need to be aware of what to do during a fire. Some of the most common causes of fire are cooking, heating equipment, cigarettes and arson, which even includes children playing with matches and fire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The very best way to keep you and your family or roommates safe when living in an apartment is to never let a fire start in the first place,â&#x20AC;? said Lawrie Skolrood, a deputy fire chief with the Vernon Fire Department. Here are some things to remember: s .EVER SMOKE IN BED AND be very careful when using Lawrie Skolrood smoking materials. s +EEP MATCHES AND LIGHTERS out of the reach of children. s .EVER LEAVE FOOD COOKING ON THE STOVE UNATtended. s +EEP COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AT LEAST THREE FEET away from heating equipment such as space heaters and baseboards. s 2EPLACE WORN ELECTRICAL CORDS AND DO NOT overload any circuits with too many plugs in a receptacle. s $O NOT USE YOUR APARTMENT OR BALCONY TO STORE flammable liquids or compressed gases (i.e. propane). s $O NOT USE YOUR BALCONY FOR STORAGE OR FOR grilling food. h+NOW YOUR FIRE ESCAPE ROUTES AND KNOW WHERE all of the extinguishers are in your building,â&#x20AC;? said Skolrood. h+NOW WHERE THE FIRE ALARM PULL STATIONS ARE AND HOW TO USE THEM .EVER IGNORE A FIRE ALARM OR your buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public announcement system, if it has one. Tell your landlord or building manager that you will need help if you are unable to use stairs in an emergency. .EVER USE AN ELEVATOR DURING A FIRE h.EVER GO BACK IN TO THE BUILDING ONCE YOU ARE safely outside,â&#x20AC;? said Skolrood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have a place outside the building where you will meet everyone you share your apartment with after you leave. A meeting place helps you determine whether or not everyone in the building has gotten out safely.â&#x20AC;?

Tech-loving prof earns college award Morning Star Staff
An engaging teaching style, combined with a passion for embracing technology in the classroom, has earned a Vernon professor Okanagan College’s teaching excellence award. Carl Doige, who also volunteers his time as the main organizer of the Science in Society Speaker Series, received the award at the college’s recent employee excellence awards presentation. “The teaching excellence at Okanagan College, combined with strong ties to the local community, is what makes a difference for students attending the Vernon campus,” said Okanagan College president Jim Hamilton. As a first- and second-year chemistry professor Doige is is known for his use of various innovative learner-centred teaching techniques in the classroom, including introducing clicker technology. These hand-held devices allow students to respond instantly, yet anonymously, to various questions Doige poses throughout his lectures. Doige was one of many employees honoured with an Employee Excellence Award. Melissa Munn, who teaches sociology and interdisciplinary studies at the Vernon and Salmon Arm campuses, also received a teaching excellence award.

Auxiliaries beneficial to local police detachments GORD MOLENDYK For The Morning Star
In this edition, I would like to recognize the men and woman who work closely with our uniformed officers weekly. They assist our officers in many aspects of police work and several have paid the ultimate price. They have died in the line of duty; one not so long ago right here in Vernon. I am describing the auxiliary members of the RCMP who work and live in our community. After their work day is over, many of them then come out and volunteer their time to
make their community a better place to live, work and play in. They are people from all walks of life and background like you. This is a great example of community policing at its best, members of the public helping to police the communities they live in. During the month of June, the 14 dedicated auxiliaries in the North Okanagan detachment area – 11 from the City of Vernon, two from Armstrong and one from Enderby – have volunteered more than 250 hours of their time. They volunteered at events in every community in the North
Okanagan working with our uniformed police officers. They did things like helping to educate school aged children on topics from bike safety to the child identification program. They have been at high school graduations, and even assisted in the 24-hour cancer relay. You may have seen them on bikes in the downtown core of Vernon on occasion, Lumby Days, and, of course, Funtastic. This group of dedicated volunteers undergo a six-month training program involving about 260 hours
of instruction by the RCMP. When this is complete they are issued their uniform, as well as operational items like handcuffs and pepper spray and, the most important, their badge. They then become an integral part of our team. The primary role of our auxiliaries is to work with our officers during special events, like parades and community gatherings, assisting with crowd control, assisting members of the public, and helping out our police officers. They truly do go above and beyond, to
make their community a safer place. They do it all for a thank you. So the next time you see the men and woman of the auxiliary program, I ask that you
take a minute to thank them for their dedication and their commitment to you the citizens of the North Okanagan for their help in policing our neighborhoods and
communities, not only here in the Okanagan, but the country. Gord Molendyk is the media spokesperson for the Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP detachment.

Venom tame Cats to even series GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Their regular-season records might show otherwise, but there hasn’t been much to choose between the Vernon Re/Max Tigers and Kamloops Venom in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League finals. After dropping the best-of-five series opener in overtime Monday, the Venom, who dominated the TOJLL at 14-1-1, needed a third-period rally to upend the Tigers 9-8 in Game 2 Wednesday night at Wesbild Centre. Game 3 goes Monday at Kamloops Memorial Arena, and Game 4 is Wednesday at Wesbild. Aside from some defensive miscues in front of netminder Josh Point in the third period, the Tigers, regular season runners-up at 8-6-2, matched up well against the Venom. They took a one-goal lead into the final frame, but gave up unanswered goals to captain Riley Donahue and Kyle Pauwels, both on rebounds from in close, and Blaine Boomer, and never recovered. “We made some key errors on the defensive end that cost us those goals,” said Vernon head coach Myles Brumpton. “They’ve got to clamp down first on the stick, and that’s one thing you see Kamloops doing. If they would have done that, they probably would have saved two out of those three goals right there. “We didn’t expect to sweep them, but it would have been nice to win at home and go up 2-0.” Vernon’s Mike Quarin and Kamloops’ Chris Case swapped singles later in the third period, and with Point pulled for an extra attacker, Ryan Landels cut the lead to one with 20 seconds to play with his third goal of the night. “We played a really good game; both teams did,” said Landels, first star. “We had a couple unlucky breaks and it came down to putting the ball in the net. We couldn’t bury any in the last part there. “We’d like to see a bit more movement on offence, and just talk it out when we get back on the bench. We need to see more production out of everybody.” The Venom’s Quinn Smith opened the scoring just 54 seconds into the game, but Quarin and Nolan Frame, spinning off his check and firing, put Vernon in front at the 8:08 mark. Singles by Landels and Craig Bigsby, and the Venom’s Case and Boomer, had it knotted 4-4 after the first period. Point, who hadn’t played with the Tigers since the beginning of the season, looked a little shaky in the early going, but stood tall once he settled down and recorded 39 stops. Big Mitch Horsman made 44 saves for Kamloops. “He watched last game so he had a chance to see their shooters,” said Brumpton, of Point. “He came in and played real well; he had good angles.” Landels and Frame, both picking the top left corner, clicked for Vernon in the second period.

Tigers' captain Brett Hanna (left) and Venom captain Riley Donahue battle for a loose ball in Game 2 of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League final Wednesday night at Wesbild Centre. Donahue, the game’s third star, liked his team’s response after Monday’s loss. “We got beat in the last game and we needed that to open our eyes a little bit,” said the Venom captain. “We came out a little harder and wanted it a bit more tonight. It’s just hard work and wanting it more and respecting the other team.”
Added Kamloops’ head coach Doug Clark: “Part of that (win) was us breaking them down a bit defensively. We were getting to the net and being aggressive. “We need to play with the same energy and desire that Vernon plays with. If we do that, we have a good chance to win most nights.”
Raiders sweep Shamrocks to retain Shaw Cup crown Morning Star Staff
For the third consecutive year, the Armstrong Shamrocks are runners-up in the Shaw Cup Senior C men’s lacrosse finals. The Rocks bowed 14-9 to the defending champion Kelowna Raiders in Game 2 of their best-of-three series Wednesday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. Jarrett Medhurst opened the scoring on the Shamrocks’ first possession, but that seemed to wake up the Raiders, who went on a four-goal tear. Call-up Brett Hawrys, who won the Junior B scoring race, responded for Armstrong with the first of his three goals, however, the Raiders continued to pressure the Shamrock defence, increasing their lead to 7-2. Kriss Yargeau, Milan Marcetta and Braydon Sanders tallied for the hosts to make it 7-5 after one period.
With Armstrong shorthanded early in the second period, netminder Chad Pieper delivered a long outlet pass to Hawrys for a breakaway goal. Hawrys then equalized on a great solo effort, getting knocked down in a double team, but getting up to fire a rocket past netminder Graham Cousins. Kelowna powered back with three straight goals, however, the Shamrocks felt the final one was scored with too many men on the floor. “The Raiders’ 10th goal with six players on the floor seemed to take the wind out of our sails,” said Shamrock head coach Glenn (Stumpy) Mitchell. “If that goal doesn’t count, it could have been a different third period.” The Raiders continued the relentless pressure in the final frame, stretching their lead to 13-7 before call-up Nathan Marcetta answered for Armstrong.
Another goal for Kelowna spelled the end of the night for Pieper, who was replaced for the last 10 minutes by Owen Siddall. With the score out of reach, the game turned ugly in the late going, resulting in several misconducts, fighting majors and a match penalty. Thomas Belenger converted on a late powerplay to cap the scoring. “I’m proud of my boys,” said Mitchell. “They played hard for each other. We spotted the Raiders early leads in both games and then fought back, but just never got the breaks we need to give us the lead.” Pho Heng, with 4+2, and Jordan Innes, with 3+2, were Kelowna’s top scorers. Mitchell and the Shamrocks thanked their fans for all there support.

Vernon triathletes second Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Nathan Champness was runner-up behind four-time winner Jeff Symonds of Penticton at the 30th annual Peach Classic Triathlon Sunday in Penticton. Symonds won the Olympic-distance event (1,500-metre swim, 40-km bike, 10-km run) in two hours, 24 seconds, with Champness crossing the line in 2:03:06. Symond’s time was nearly five minutes slower than his 1:55:41 last year, where he beat his closest competitor by nearly 10 minutes. In the women’s division, Kamloops’ Yvonne Timewell (2:26:17) shaded Vernon’s Sarah Clark by 23 seconds for first place. Timewell told Black Press she and Clark often finish close to one another in
various races. “In the first section of the run I was kind of complacent, and then someone said, ‘Oh there’s a woman behind you,’ and then I turned around and I saw her and she was right there,” Timewell said. “The last five km I was running scared.” In the sprint distance (750-m swim, 20-km bike, 5-km run), Calgary’s Calvin Zaryski finished first in 1:10:22, and Vernon’s Erica Moser-Reschreit ruled the women’s class with 1:18:56, good enough for sixth overall. Other Vernon-area racers earning topfive, age-group finishes in the Olympic distance include: Haley Boeglin (3rd, F2529, 2:46:21), Paul Filippi (4th, M60-64, 2:52:18) and Pamela Labossiere (3rd, F5054, 2:54:54).

Controls ambush Timber Morning Star Staff
Turn-Key Controls brushed back North Enderby Timber 4-0 in North Okanagan Soccer League action Wednesday night at Marshall Field #2. The Controls opened the scoring early when Marco Arnold’s free kick was finished off by a world-class diving header from right fullback Tyler Flood inside the box. Turn-Key (8-4-1) kept pressing and were rewarded when Greg Niemantsverdriet was taken down inside the 18. Preston Tucker converted the penalty past a helpless NET keeper Danny Stein. The two squads battled hard for the rest of the first half, but Nolan’s Pharamsave Co-Man of the Match Jeremy Kler, using his UBCO Heat volleyball abilities, made a couple of huge saves to keep the score 2-0 at halftime. The second half saw the two sides continue to create scoring chances in what was a well-contested game. Andrew Pool, Turn-Key’s other Co-Man of the Match, was a difference maker up front for Turn-Key, putting the Controls ahead 3-0 when he headed home a well-placed cross from defender Alex Nolan. Pool was denied on another chance off a quick Turn-Key counterattack on a great save from Stein. Arnold added his second assist of the night when he found Pool on top of the 18. Pool fired to the top right corner.

Canadians capture Valley crown Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Canadians shelled the Surrey Cardinals 12-2 in Sunday’s final of the Valley of Champions Mosquito AA Baseball Tournament in West Kelowna. Tourney MVP Carter Morris struck out five batters over three innings and walked home to score Vernon’s first run in the first inning. Maguire Lauridsen smacked a line drive double to centre field to bring in Morris in the third, while Caden Colmorgen doubled in Lauridsen and Chase Batchelor. Brayden Beacom walked with the bases loaded for Vernon’s fourth run of the inning. Colmorgen made a nice pick up in centre field and threw to Nick Foufoulas at second for a close out. A deep, left-field hit was scooped up by Jackson Soucy, who relayed to Batchelor for a close tag out by third baseman Lincoln Connor. Batchelor stroked a line-drive double to left field to score Foufoulas and Morris in the fourth. Lauridsen nailed a single to score Batchelor and then ran some text-book base stealing to make it to third. Morris singled in Lauridsen. Soucy recorded a vacuum glove and bullet throw to Foufoulas at second for a nifty backhand tag for the second out. Landon Harison singled in Ryan Gamage, Foufoulas drove in Connor, and Harison stole home in the fifth. Batchelor was on the mound and fanned a pair. Head coach Mark Batchelor and assistants Colin Rafferty, Gus Morris and Achim Colmorgen guided the Canadians in a great weekend of ball.
The C’s opened the tourney with a 15-0 ambushing of the West Kelowna Diamondbacks as Connor tripled and doubled while knocking in one run and Lauridsen smacked a triple, single and three ribbies. Koll Cherkowski ripped a two-run double, while Gamage, Morris and Colmorgen each drove in two runs. Beacom took game MVP. Vernon opened with a 14-11 win over the Tsawwassen A’s with MVP Soucy doubling in Harison with the winning run in the sixth. Lauridsen and Gamage each smacked run-scoring doubles and swiped home, while Colmorgen crushed a three-run triple and Connor rapped a two-run double. The C’s toppled the Penticton Thunder 11-8 and lost 9-7 to the Cardinals in Saturday action. Morris hit a pair of doubles and a triple while swiping third and home. He also made an amazing stretched-out catch at first to intercept a line drive for an out. Lauridsen hit a run-scoring double and stole home, while Colmorgen tripled and Beacom swiped home. Harison pitched three strong innings, made a daring steal home and ran down a few grounders from the hill to earn MVP in the loss to Surrey, Foufoulas provided stellar defence at second base and hit a RBI-double, while Gamage delivered three ribbies on a double and single. Morris hit a two-run double, Beacom swiped home and Colmorgen struck out two batters in relief.

Car Insurance. Protect yourself from smash and grab thieves. Summer is here again, and you’ll probably find you’re using the car more, for going on road trips, or camping or a day jaunt to your favourite beach. Naturally, items like sunglasses, camping gear, shopping bags and cell phones for example also find their way into your vehicle. But what happens when you get back to your car from a day of fun and find the window shattered, the door forced and items are missing. If this happens, what’s covered by car insurance and what is not? While your car insurance covers many things, it usually does not extend to loss of your personal contents in the car. In addition to losing your personal property, a break-in can leave you with the hassle and expense of fixing damages such as broken window glass, typical with a break-in. If you claim against your car insurance, you’ll be paying the Comprehensive deductible. But if personal items have been stolen from your vehicle, your deductibles may not end there. Goods such as cameras, sporting equipment and clothing are usually covered under your home insurance policy, not your car insurance. You would be required to make two separate claims, one on your car insurance and the other on your home insurance. Typical deductibles on car insurance can range from $300 to $500, while $500 is the standard on home insurance. A car break in can cost you, the

insured, $1,000 in deductibles and the hassle of making two separate claims. The good news is that there are now some optional car insurance policies offering unique solutions, like the Smash and Grab coverage that can be added to BCAA’s Optional Car Insurance. The Smash and Grab coverage waives the glass deductible on all glass claims and covers your personal property up to $500, again with no deductible. Of course, prevention is always better than cure, so try and avoid making yourself an easy target by giving thieves a reason to break into your car. Keep valuable items hidden from view, or better yet keep them locked up in the trunk when you’re away from your car. You should also always ensure you lock the doors and roll up all the windows before you leave. The next time your car insurance is up for renewal, speak to a BCAA Car Insurance specialist. They’ll assess your needs and help find the options that are right for you. Diane Marshall is an Insurance Specialist with BCAA. She can be reached at diane.marshall@bcaa.com.

Vernon players swing U14 gold Morning Star Staff
A trio of North Okanagan players helped the Kelowna Heat claim the provincial U14 B Girls fastball gold medal last weekend in Maple Ridge. Outfielder Emma Whilton of Vernon, along with Armstrong products Tova Turnbull, a first baseman, and Candice Vuong, a centre fielder and third basemen, boosted the Heat to a 9-1 record. The Heat stopped the Surrey Storm 4-1 in Sunday’s final with Turnbull ripping a two-run double in the bottom of the fourth inning. Vuong stroked a single up the middle to keep a rally going in the seventh-inning. Vuong and Turnbull provided clutch hits in a 3-2 semifinal win over Cloverdale. Whilton made an impressive diving catch in one of the round-robin games. Gina Selfe and Ann-Marie Crandlemire, both of Sicamous, were key members of a pitching crew that only allowed 14 runs against. The Heat, coached by Doug Fisher and Boyd Tyerman, went 4-0 in preliminary play and after losing the second game of the playoff round to the Storm (2-1), they were forced to battle back with four straight wins Sunday. Kelowna posted round-robin victories over South Delta, North Delta, Abbotsford and Vancouver, while stopping Abbotsford, North Shore, Ridge Meadows in their other playoff tilts. They scored 69 runs.

Insurance group offers up sun protection tips Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan residents have, after a rainy June, been enjoying the sunshine the valley is noted for. However, as with all good things, moderation is needed. Having too much exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can lead to skin cancer, which affects around 80,000 Canadians each year. Margaret Ng, program manager, health and wellness from Pacific Blue Cross, B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading benefits provider, has pulled together a top tips list for staying healthy. â&#x2013; Protect your kids: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated that up to 80 per cent of a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total exposure to the sun happens before he or she turns 18-years-old. In addition, one serious spell of sunburn in childhood can increase future cancer risk by as much as 50 per cent. Babies under six months should be kept out of the sun completely. â&#x2013; Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe healthy tans exist: There is a common assumption that if a person tans well, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re protected from the sun â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this is a myth. Even healthy tans are really just damage control; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way of trying to protect itself from the sun. â&#x2013; Cover up:Whenever possible, cover up â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for example, a longer cotton skirt may keep you cooler and offer better protection than a pair of shorts. A hat is essential as it keeps sun rays off the scalp, face and back of the neck, which are prime areas for skin cancer. A good hat can also shelter and protect your eyes. â&#x2013; Sunscreen: Apply sunscreen 20 minutes before you go out, even if the sun is hidden behind clouds or doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem particularly strong. Always apply sunscreen with a minimum SPF (sun protection factor) of 15 that protects you from both UVA and UVB light. â&#x2013; Peak times: Avoid the sun when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at its peak. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strongest between 11a.m. and 4p.m. â&#x2013; Using multiple products: If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re applying other products to the skin, double check with your pharmacist about which product to use first. For example, insect
repellents should be applied at least 15 minutes after applying sun-
screen. â&#x2013; Medications: If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on prescription
medications, check to see if they can make you more sensitive to the sun.
And if you get sunburnt, apply cool, wet compresses for 24-48 hours,
drink lots of water and use over-the-counter painkillers such as acet-
aminophen and ibuprofen if you are experiencing pain.

Get ready to stick â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em up for The Notorious Right Robert and Robber Bride KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Caravan Farm Theatre has always had a thing for dusty characters, whose names are as descriptive as their surroundings. A lot of this has to do with the writers the theatre commissions, and one who has returned to the Caravan after a decade is a case example. Banjo-wielding playwright Sean Dixon last came to the farm in 1999 to play a banjo-wielding character who sells his soul to the devil in The Ballad of Weedy Peetstraw. The Toronto-based author, playwright and actor is back at Caravan this summer with his latest play, the alliterated titled The Notorious Right Robert and His Robber Bride. Dixon wrote the script from a concept that Courtenay Dobbie, Caravanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic director, had in mind, with Vicki Stroich of Calgaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alberta Theatre Project providing dramaturgy, and Salmon Armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Herald Nix, the music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We approached Sean to write a fast-paced cops and robbers story with the idea of people trying to fulfil their dreams of getting out of their small-town existence,â&#x20AC;? said Dobbie, who is also directing her second summer production at the farm after last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A Midsummer Nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year, we had the flowery, lighthearted Midsummerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and this year is dusty and dirty bankrobbers. I wanted this show to be fast and action packed, loud, gregarious and adventurous. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sort of a live version of a Coen brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; movie with that vintage look and aesthetic.â&#x20AC;? A 1930s period piece with a Bonnie and Clyde-style plot, the play uses vintage cars, that dusty

The play has the perfect backdrop, with Caravanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s western frontier look, and more than a few healthy steeds (of the equine variety) to help move along the props and set pieces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done this time period before and have utilized and have been inspired by the old buildings here at the farm in creating a dusty, small town,â&#x20AC;? said Dobbie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three of our horses also make an appearance in the show.â&#x20AC;? Folks can also expect a few gun fights, and those specially attained vintage cars, one from Vernon and the other from Salmon Arm, to swoop in and out of the playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stage, which is being set up in the open field just north of the horse paddocks. There, they will watch as title character, Right Robert Popoff (played by Greg Gale), achieves
legendary status in his one-horse (fictional) town of Chickabiddy, B.C. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Robert wants to be famous. He likes the idea of people knowing who he is. The problem is he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to be famous
so he turns to a life of crime,â&#x20AC;? said Dobbie. Raised by his older brother, Blue Jay (Darren Dolinsky), who becomes an accomplice, Robert lives up to his name and becomes a thief not unlike Kentucky-born

Robert eventually meets his match in lady love Jenny Lundy (Georgina Beatty), a gal who wants to be a newspaper â&#x20AC;&#x153;man.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like Robert, she was born and lives in the town and they met one another when they were young and reconnect years later,â&#x20AC;? said Dobbie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jenny wants to be a journalist. She gets frustrated by her hometown paper as she feels there is not enough news. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hungry for words and is always writing in her journal.â&#x20AC;? As the two set off to make a name for themselves, the British Columbia Provincial Police (who would go on to amalgamate with the RCMP ) attempt to track them down. One is the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sheriff Julius Tallhammer (Christopher Hunt), who also serves as the playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s narrator, and his jealous and hateful deputy Bull Withers (Bruce Horak). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a comedy, and they play the bumbling duo who chase after the robbers.â&#x20AC;? Dobbie is also quick to point out that this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show is not a musical, but has musical accompaniment, played by a three-piece band, including Nix on vocals/guitar, to serve as a segue between scenes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Herald is an indie alt.country artist from Salmon Arm who is big in the Vancouver music scene,â&#x20AC;? said Dobbie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His music sets the tone with a little banjo, harmonica, and slide guitar.â&#x20AC;? The Notorious Right Robert and His Robber Bride starts its run at Caravan with previews Tuesday and Wednesday and continues nightly to Aug. 26 at 7:30 p.m. (except Mondays.)

Neil Young and Crazy Horse: Americana
T
he 34th album from Crazy Horse, Americana, is the campfire version of what Neil Young, Frank “Poncho” Sampedro, Billy Talbot, and Ralph Molina do best – make a mighty noise. Somebody who knows where to hang a microphone put the band in a room, playing loud, and Dean Gordon-Smith went for first takes. Young and the Horse are primarily a live band that makes records, so this is a tried and true formula that results in raw albums that contain an elusive swing and grit. Get simple songs and use the structure for jamming; and here they use basic material: traditional American folk songs from the 19th and early 20th century. These songs have been twisted and bent to suit the band’s over-driven wanderings. Some of

the lyrics will be recognizable from elementary school sing-alongs, but otherwise there’s no resemblance to the originals. The songbook has been shuffled up and thrown into the campfire. It’s good dirty fun to hear how Young and the Horse have altered the context to make shining slabs of raunch to familiar themes. Clementine is a dark, pounding dirge unrecognizable except for the lyrics; likewise High Flying Bird and Jesus Chariot. The band benefits by exploiting chorus lyrics while four-on-thefloor pounding and six-string overdrive dominate. Fractured soloing veers in and out but the music is focused and loose in the patented Horse style. Because the concept of the album is a slight tangent, the possibility for weirdness is high. Gallows Pole and Get a Job stick out of the playlist awkwardly, but are redeemed by the subdued reading of Wayfaring Stranger and God Save the Queen – the latter maybe a nod to Young’s Canadian school day assemblies. Americana is an offbeat recording that’s fun while staying gritty and dark – it’s interpretive sludge.

For the record The Morning Star wishes to clarify a story about the Grindrod Musik and Arts Festival, which ran Wednesday. In the story, Rory White was credited as being the festival’s overall organizer. Although White has taken part in the festival all three years, and this year is running the open mic as well as helping to organize the festival, the overall organizer is, in fact, Gabriele Wesle. The Morning Star apologizes for any confusion caused.

Students exchange ‘Kindness’ VIRGINIA FAIRBROTHER Special to The Morning Star
When communism ended in the Soviet Union, the new Russian Federation looked to its roots for educational policies. “The education system needed a foundation. Its roots were in the ninth century when Greek monks brought Christianity and literacy, and translated the Bible into Slavic languages,” said Dr. Olga Lutsenko, president of Kindness International. She founded “Fond Dobro” in 1993 to build a system which used Christian principles in the Bible as the basis of moral education in Russia. Presently, this system is taught in Russian and Ukrainian public schools with the Bible as a text book and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a guide. The choice is left to individuals as to whether they follow Christianity or other religions. The local branch, the Canadian
“Its roots were in the ninth century when Greek monks brought Christianity and literacy, and translated the Bible into Slavic languages.” — Dr. Olga Lutsenko Kindness Society, is based here in Vernon. It promotes international cultural exchanges, with many Canadian students and adults visiting or speaking at youth camps in Russia and Ukraine over the past 20 years. The second annual Kindness International Student Exchange Program (KISEP 2012), June 16 to July 8, hosted 18 students, ages 8-16, and four adults from
Russia and Ukraine in the Okanagan for three weeks. The KISEP participants stayed with host families from Vernon and Armstrong for two weeks, spending the mornings in ESL and introductory Bible classes, and the afternoons visiting local attractions. They then attended a local summer camp for one week at Sunnybrae. The Vernon School District also hosted another 34 students and three teachers from two different regions of Russia for three weeks and they joined the KISEP students at camp. For further information about Kindness or to get involved with programs, e-mail Virginia at vfairb@telus.net or Roxanne at thrift-chopin@telus.net Virginia Fairbrother is a committee member of the Kindness International Student Exchange Program 2012 and an ESL teacher for the smaller group of students.

BIBLE BASICS
Life
Husband is too controlling
D
ear Annie: I have been with “Jason” for eight years, married for four. Between us, we have raised five children. The problem is that Jason is controlling and verbally abusive. When we met, I was willing to overlook many things because he was so good to my kids. As a single mother, I needed the stability he could provide. But a couple of months ago, I reached my breaking point, and Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar now I want out. I stay in the home only because I don’t want to leave my stepdaughter. Believe me, Jason is the type of guy who will make sure I have no contact with my stepdaughter simply out of spite. And it would devastate my two sons. They think Jason walks on water. A separation or divorce will leave my children fatherless, as well, since their biological father has never been in the picture. But I am finding it hard to pretend everything is fine. The kids sense something bad is happening, and they barely eat, sleep or talk. Leaving seems selfish, but staying would sacrifice my sanity. — Nevada Dear Nevada: Have you and Jason attempted counseling? He may not realize how close you are to walking
ANNIE'S MAILBOX
out, and he might be willing to work on your problems in order to save the marriage. And no matter what you decide, please get counseling on your own and consider letting your children see someone, as well. They are suffering, too, and the situation is likely to get worse before it gets better. All of you could use some ongoing guidance. Dear Annie: My sex life has always been important to me. My wife and I are in our early 60s. This is my third marriage. For the first three years, the sex was good, but the past two have been a problem. I tell my wife that I am going upstairs and getting ready for bed, and I mention having sex, and she tells me that she will be up in a few minutes. About four hours later, she comes to bed saying she fell asleep watching TV. After several of these excuses, I asked her to be honest. She insists there is no problem. When she works, she doesn’t want sex, so this weekend I asked if we could have sex, and she said OK, but again fell asleep in front of the TV. She promised to make it up to me the next night, but it was the same story. This upsets me. I am thinking of divorce. She told me that she and her last husband were like roommates, and I feel it is happening in our marriage, too. Any suggestions? — Lost in El Paso Dear Lost: We will say that your approach is a bit lacking. “I’m going
to bed and I’d like sex” is not quite the turn-on you might think. It also is not uncommon for women past menopause to lose desire. Gently suggest to your wife that she talk to her doctor about hormonal help for her libido. Then please work on your romantic technique, and find out what will make her more interested in intimacy. Dear Annie: My deep sympathy to “Indianapolis,” whose evil sister-in-law is keeping the family from seeing their dying brother. My uncle married a woman who did her best for 35 years to keep him from the rest of the family. She was petty and nasty and had our uncle wrapped around her finger. When he became ill, she didn’t tell us he was in hospice. We’d call their house, and she’d say he was too tired to talk. Then she told us to stop calling because the phone disturbed him. We didn’t find out he had died until a cousin wrote with condolences. We’ll never know what our uncle saw in that woman. There are people who are just mean beyond redemption. Hell is sure going to be crowded. — Sad Just Thinking About It Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

The Atonement. Rom. 5:11: “We joy in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have received the Atonement,” only occurrence in the New Testament. Equivalent word: reconciliation: katallage. Synonyms: redemption, ransom, propitiation, justiÀcation; which is to be understood that God the Father is the Prime Mover, and that His purpose, justice and mercy are always manifest and upheld in His work. Hebrew equivalent is “to pitch the Ark:” kahphar; literally: to cover.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Solutions to problems that have everyone else baffled will be very evident and clear to you. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to speak up when you believe you have the answers others are seeking. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Old friends are likely to be more fortunate for you than usual, so stick with them, especially those who share an interest with you in the world of finance or commerce. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) The most enjoyable time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to have will be sharing your day with people whom you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen for a while. A number of good things could come from such a reunion. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Your objectives will be more easily achieved if you keep your intentions to yourself the fewer people who know about them, the better. This includes your close buddies. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doubtful of the merits of your suggestions, associates who believe in them will take it upon themselves to try out your ideas and verify their value. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Unless you are confronted by a challenge, your tenacity and determination may never surface. If they do, however, even the blase will be impressed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to make a critical decision, because you already have the
answer within you. All you have to do is allow what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned from experience to guide you. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) By all means, show a willingness to be helpful to those to whom youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re obligated. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss any opportunities to reciprocate and express your appreciation. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Although it might inconvenience you to do so, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still come through and honor all of your commitments, earning you the respect of your friends and associates. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Even if you are the catalyst for some fun activities, you still might not feel gratified or fulfilled unless you first get involved in something constructive. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Because your custodial instincts are seeking expression, they are likely to impel you to inoffensively step in and manage a situation that is giving others fits, satisfying everybody.
HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot ďŹ&#x201A;ashes, 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.

Moderately Confused
Anytime, Anywhere.
Bridge by Phillip Alder THE POSSIBILITIES ARE NUMEROUS Albert Claude, a Belgian biologist who shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1974, said, “In the name of the experimental method and out of our poor knowledge, are we really entitled to claim that everything happens by chance, to the exclusion of all other possibilities?” At the bridge table, there is an element of chance. But you can often improve the likelihood of making your contract if you consider all of the possibilities. This deal contains several possibilities. South is in four hearts. West leads a low trump. Declarer wins and returns a heart, West taking his ace
and playing a third round, while East discards two diamonds. How should South continue? North might have rebid four hearts. There are four potential losers: two spades, one heart and one club. A tempting line is to cash dummy’s club ace, return to hand with a diamond, and take the club finesse. It is better to cash both of dummy’s top clubs before playing a third round. If West has the club queen, South is always safe because West cannot attack spades with effect. With this layout, though, both of those lines fail, assuming East shifts to a spade when in with the club queen. The correct line is to
play a diamond to dummy’s king, then to lead a spade to, say, the jack. West wins and shifts to a club, but declarer wins and plays another spade. Dummy’s 10 is established, on which South can pitch his third club. He takes one spade, five hearts, two diamonds and two clubs without any element of chance.

Barbara Doria Russell Humphreys (nee Denison)
(nee Popowich)
was born on Ukrainian New Years Day, January 14th, 1914 at Springside, Saskatchewan. The family was celebrating New Years Day and her mother Magda felt her time of delivery was at hand, so quickly slipped out of the home and went to the stable where the cattle were. There was a rock there as well and Polly always said that she was born on a rock, nestled in hay.
AŌer a long illness Barb died at the Queen Victoria Hospital in Revelstoke with her family at her side.
Providence Funeral Homes “Summerland’s Rosedale Chapel” 250-494-7752
Hall, John William Gordon The family of Gordon Hall regrets to announce his passing on July 9, 2012 in Vernon BC after a short illness. He was born September 5, 1921 in North Battleford Saskatchewan to English immigrant parents where he learned the hard lessons of the Great Depression. He joined the Canadian Armed Forces in 1942 as an aero-engine mechanic and upon his discharge in 1945 enrolled in the Forestry program at UBC from which he graduated in 1950 as a Professional Forester. His work took him to Nelson (BC Forest Service), Cranbrook (Crestbrook Forest Industries) and Canoe (Federated Co-Op), and provided the content for endless stories – cruising timber on steep mountain sides (coastline to treeline and back each day), ¿ghting forest ¿res, wrestling with bureaucrats, animal encounters, and most importantly his love and respect for our country’s forests - which were recounted to his family so many times in recent years that his grandchildren can recite them verbatim. We all came away with a greater understanding of what hard work and commitment really were.
She is survived by her most precious family; her daughter, Jeanette (Joseph) Goldenthal; three grandchildren, Jacquelyn (Dennis) Wakelin, Jeffrey (Andrea) Goldenthal and Jon (Danielle) Goldenthal; ¿ve greatgrandchildren, Stephanie Goldenthal, Joni Goldenthal, Andrew Goldenthal, Rachel Wakelin and Sarah Wakelin; and many nieces and nephews. Polly was preceded in death by her beloved husband Bill; her parents, Yurko and Magda Popowich; her brothers, Michael, Nicolas, John and Daniel; and her sister, Annie. Polly’s parents immigrated from Austria to Saskatchewan in 1909, then came to Spallumcheen and Armstrong in 1923 where Polly entered Grade 3 at the age of nine years. She had many fond memories of her teachers and principal. Her ¿rst job at the age of sixteen was at the “old” Armstrong Hospital where she helped with the cleaning in the kitchen, laundry and other rooms. She also cleaned the Baptist Church and gave her small salary back to the church as her offering. Polly met the love of her life Bill while a part of the Baptist Youth Group. He eventually became her husband and they were married for 60 years when he passed away in 1997. Polly had many interests in life and was a member of the Armstrong First Baptist Church, Okanagan Historical Society, the Armstrong-Spallumcheen Museum Society, Allan Brooks Society, Library Aid at A.E.S. with Vicki Green, Sunnybrae Bible Camp and the Armstrong Horticultural Society. She was always very appreciative for what people did for her. Bill and Polly were one of the original “home renovators” having done nine renovations and three new homes during their working years. Polly left us peacefully on Sunday morning, July 15th, 2012 at Polson North Extended Care Unit with her family of caregivers at her side. She has gone to be with her Lord and Saviour and be reunited with her beloved husband Bill and other family members who went before her. A private Graveside Service at the Armstrong-Spallumcheen Cemetery will precede a Celebration Of Polly’s Life which will take place at Bethel Funeral Chapel on Monday, July 23rd, 2012 at 2:00 P.M. with Pastor Bruce Mateika of¿ciating. A Reception will follow in the Bethel Tea Room. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Polly to the Sunnybrae Bible Camp, 3915 Sunnybrae Canoe Pt. Road, Tappen, B.C. V0E 2X1. Funeral arrangements have been made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD., 5605-27th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 8Z5 250-542-1187
In Memoriam
In Memoriam
In Loving Memory Of
Angus R. Daisley (Bob) July 1, 1920 - July 19, 2004
He retired to Vernon in 1981 where he demonstrated the art of self-ful¿llment through the pursuit of his personal passions – skiing fast, and gol¿ng well. As a past member of the UBC ski racing team he never tired of the thrill of getting to the bottom with as few turns as possible, and was dif¿cult to keep up to even as an octogenarian. As he was instrumental in its early development in the 1950’s he had fond memories of Kimberley’s North Star Ski Hill and the many friends that he made there. His competitive spirit led him to participate in an endless number of golf tournaments, from small matches at his local clubs all the way to the Canadian Seniors Open. He played his last game at the age of 90. He is survived by his partner Phyllis Watt and her son Rod Watt of Vernon, by his sister Ede Harrington and his brother Albert Hall of Vancouver, son Robin Hall of Powell River (grandson Grady of Yellowknife), son Dave Hall and his wife Pat of Cranbrook (grandson Jesse; Andrea, Anna of Fort McMurray) (granddaughter Meghan; Jon, Julian of Vancouver) son Brian of Rossland, son Greg of North Vancouver. We will miss his wit and wisdom. There will be no funeral by request. A private family gathering will be held at a later date, on a mountain slope or a scenic fairway.
