City plunges ahead with washrooms
Morning Star Staff
Providing public toilets has wiped away $75,000. Most of Vernon council voted Monday to dip into reserves to purchase a relocatable washroom facility for Cenotaph Park on 31st Avenue. “It’s actually ridiculous we don’t have pubic washrooms,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham. “It’s been council after council deferring making a decision on this.” Cunningham says the trailer-like facility will benefit people who are shopping downtown, using transit and those residents attending special events at the nearby Spirit Square. On top of the $75,000 Cunningham for the facility, council has agreed to budget up to $72,000 in 2013 for maintenance but that cost will depending on when the facility is actually open. The issue of public washrooms arose after conversion of the old library into city offices began. The washrooms in that building became unavailable to the public especially during events like the Civic Sounds concerts. Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe wanted to maintain those facilities. “It’s something that’s going to keep coming up,” she said of events at the civic complex. Staff had recommended that council table a decision on public washrooms until it’s known if the Vernon Public Art Gallery will build on property on 31st Avenue. There is the possibility that public washrooms could be incorporated into the design. The hours of operation haven’t been determined for the Cenotaph Park washroom but there is a reluctance to have it available 24 hours a day because of the security and maintenance costs required. “Bar patrons aren’t going to wait,” said Coun. Catherine Lord. “They’re going to go where they’re drinking. They won’t walk two blocks.” The trailer will now be ordered but if it doesn’t arrive until winter, it may not be installed until the spring.

Green light for core service review RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A long-promised scrutiny of operations is moving ahead at the City of Vernon. Council approved the terms of reference for a core service review Monday, and administration is expected to report back on the search for a review consultant Sept. 10. “I’m happy we’re finally moving ahead,”
said Coun. Bob Spiers, who has pushed for a review for years and garnered the support of his colleagues after last year’s election. Spiers describes the city as not being financially sustainable and says there is a need to look at expenditures and new sources of revenue. However, he won’t provide the consultant with any guidance. “I won’t pre-judge what comes out of it,” said Spiers of the review.

It’s possible the results of the review could be before council for consideration in early 2013. “We want information that allows us to have a sustainable budget process,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky, adding there is also a need to ensure that the services residents want are provided. The cost of the core service review is $80,000.

Downtown Vernon became an active crime scene Tuesday as police attempted to track down a bank robber. At about 2:30 p.m., a lone male entered the HSBC bank at 3321 30th Ave., approached a teller and demanded cash. “The man was able to leave with an undisclosed amount of cash. No weapon was produced,” said Gord Molendyk, with the RCMP. Within minutes, police officers converged on the scene and were scouring the adjacent neighbourhood, including alleys. The suspect is described as a Caucasian male in his late teens or early 20s. He is about six-feet tall, clean shaven and wearing a threequarter length navy blue Nike hoody, dark pants and large sunglasses at the time. The suspect had not been located as of press time. “He was last seen heading down the alley westbound towards Becker Park (behind Priest Valley Arena),” said Molendyk.

News Local roads prove deadly for motorists JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff Three lives have been taken on North Okanagan roads in less than one week. Damon Stephen Joe La Sota, of Salmon Arm, was killed in a twovehicle accident on Highway 97 Saturday shortly after 5 p.m. La Sota was a passenger in a southbound, older Buick sedan which was struck when it turned left off the busy highway onto Pleasant Valley Road. The Buick was broadsided by a newer Nissan sedan. The three people in the Buick were all taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with various injuries. CPR was performed on 24-year-old La Sota, formerly of Clairmont, Alta., the entire trip to the hospital, but he unfortunately died. “They performed CPR on him the whole way in and worked very hard to keep him,� said BX-Swan Lake fire chief Bill Wacey of his department’s efforts. “It’s very unfortunate.� The driver of the vehicle, a 25-year-old Vernon resident, remains in hospital in serious condition. The other passenger, a 21-yearold Salmon Arm man, was treated and released. The lone occupant of the Nissan, a 48-year-old Armstrong man, remains in hospital in stable condition. “Traffic had to be detoured around as a result and it disrupted a heavy summer volume of traffic happening at that time,� said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk of the several hours delay. “North Okanagan Traffic Services as well as the coroners service would like anyone who may have seen this accident to please contact them (250-545-7171).� RCMP are also asking motorists to slow down, be alert and drive safe as this is the third fatal accident in

A crash on Highway 97 and Pleasant Valley Road Saturday claimed the life of a 24-year-old Salmon Arm man and sent three others to hospital. less than a week. “To have this many fatalities in a short time period is really disheartening,� said Molendyk. “This is unreal. “That was the third fatal crash in the North Okanagan, in our area, in six days.� The RCMP are also investigating a fatal motorcycle accident near Falkland July 16. The incident occurred on the Chase/Falkland Road and the operator of the motorcycle was from Courtenay on Vancouver Island. Tommas Arthur Carpenter, 49, was being followed by his commonlaw wife, who was in a vehicle, when the accident occurred and the motorcycle left the road and landed
in the ditch. The police and coroners service continue to investigate the crash. The crash was followed by a second fatal motorcycle accident last Tuesday. Nathan Halisheff, of Alberta, was killed after he fell off his bike entering Highway 97 northbound from Stickle Road. The 33-year-old made contact with a pick-up pulling an RV, he came off the bike and was driven over by the trailer. Another serious accident took place late Saturday night involving a motorcycle. A 48-year-old Coquitlam man remains in Kelowna hospital with serious injuries following the collision on Highway 97 and Mendenhall Road.
The southbound motorcycle collided with a northbound Hyundai sedan driven by a 54-year-old man from Edmonton, Alta. Members were on the scene within two minutes The car made a left turn into the path of the motorcycle. The driver of the Hyundai was given a roadside breathalyzer test, which was under the legal limit (four milligrams). “Minutes before the crash the bike rider had been checked by members in a road check about 2.8 kilometres from the crash site, that’s why they were able to be there within a short time period,� said Molendyk. “A series of motorcycles passed through the check, this rider was the last rider in a small group. He did not give any
indication of impairment and was allowed to proceed. “He departed at a high rate of speed and went out of sight southbound and within minutes this accident happened.�

Accused killer heads to trial

Only at Wine Kitz!!!
KATHY MICHAELS Black Press
Brittney Irving’s accused killer will finally stand trial, nearly three-and-a-half years after her body was discovered. Joelon David Atish Verma, 31, was given a court date of Sept. 13 2013 for the April 2010 murder and robbery of Irving. The Kelowna man was arrested for the crime June 25, 2010. The trial is expected to take six to eight weeks, the court heard Monday, and will be before a jury. It’s been an unusually long period of wait for Verma to be squeezed into a tight court schedule. Although he’s been in prison since his arrest, never applying for bail, there were several stumbling blocks to the process. For one, Verma changed legal counsel mid-stream. His Calgary-based lawyer dropped out for reasons undisclosed, earlier this year, and his new Vancouverbased lawyer, Jordan Watt, was retained just recently. Whatever the cause, however, the wait clearly took a toll on Irving’s friends and family, who made only a couple appearances since Verma’s arrest. During one appearance where Verma

Cherryville man awaiting court date KATHY MICHAELS Black Preess
Matthew Foerster will be back in court July 30, to set a trial date for two matters that preceded a recent high-profile murder charge. A trial date was supposed to be scheduled Monday to deal with Foerster’s 2004 charges of break and enter, assault and unlawful confinement from a Cherryville incident and 2005 charges of sexual assault and unlawful confinement from a Kelowna episode, but he recently attained new legal
counsel and that caused a delay. By month’s end, however, things should be back on track and Crown counsel Iain Currie will deal with the matter via phone at that date. Foerster has waived his right to a preliminary hearing in both matters. The Cherryville man, 26, was arrested in Ontario in April, following a manhunt for Armstrong teen, Taylor Van Diest’s killer. Court proceedings relating to that matter will go before a jury at a later date.

The rumbles of motorcycles filled the region as the North Okanagan got its first taste of Sturgis North. The five-day motorcycle rally, trade show and music festival rocked the Motoplex Speedway Wednesday through Sunday. Although an attendance count is not known yet, the numbers were favourable for its inaugural year in Spallumcheen (following a venue change from Salmon Arm last year), say organizers. “We had nice crowds and everybody had lots of fun,” said Ray Sasseville, Sturgis North president. “Considering the bitter elements we had (rain Friday and Sunday), it went pretty well. “You could always have more (people and vendors), but it’s a growing situation. This is our first year here.” And Sasseville confirms this won’t be the last year, as plans to return to the speedway for next year are already underway. Local RCMP are also pleased with how the event turned out. “By all reports, the Sturgis Event was uneventful at the site itself,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk, adding that the Stomp out in the Falkland area had between 1,000 to 1,500 people on the Saturday and had several complaints around drinking and music. No reports were

Sturgis proved to be a hit with those attending – whether they were admiring the rows of chrome-covered bikes or rocking out to some of the 25-plus bands. It was an event many were eager to display, as evident through the sale of Sturgis wear. “They’re the most desirable thing here,” said Rachel Scott, manager of clothing for Sturgis North. “I have people who come in and say give me 10...and I have people who will come in and buy $1,000 worth.” A number of other vendors also did exceptionally well sell-
ing clothing, Harley gear and gadgets. “I’ve spent $300 on shirts,” admits Bill Braham, who has also managed to collect a few coins from all those interested in snapping a photo with his furry canine rider. Braham, a former Vernon resident who now lives in Langley, accepts donations for animal rescue in exchange for those wanting a picture of his miniature American Eskimo, who is decked out in a beanie helmet and goggles and perched on the back of his bike. Actually called a Helmutt, Braham constructs the pet safety gear himself and is working on selling it. But for now, he’s just happy riding around, collecting attention and support for animal rescue. Sturgis also raised funds for the Canadian Cancer Society through nightly 50/50 draws. The first night alone claimed $542 and made a lucky ticket holder that much richer. The event also benefits the local economy, in a number of ways. “The bottom line is, it’s a good thing for Vernon,” said Sasseville, of all the hotel and restaurant bookings and local shops benefitting from an influx of tourists.

Agencies ensure services for motel tenants RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Efforts are underway to ensure problems with Vernon’s homeless don’t flare up again. A number of people who have been living on the street have recently taken up residence at a motel in the downtown core. “There aren’t services attached to the motel and there have been instances where the RCMP have had to come,” said Annette Sharkey, with Partners

if the motel is developed. “Many of these individuals would be sleeping outside if the motel is sold,” said Sharkey. Other housing options have been identified if the property was sold. In June, a number of service and enforcement agencies conducted a census of homeless camps in Vernon. “We did not find one camp in public places or the usual places,” said Sharkey.
“That’s not to say there aren’t camps but we’re not seeing the same activity as before.” In 2006, there were about 200 people living outside and in 2009, there were 30 camps. “Even though we have been able to reduce the number of homeless camps we still have work to do around homelessness,” said Sharkey. “We know that people are regularly using the shelter and couch surfing with friends and family. Despite the high
vacancy rate, rents are still unaffordable for low-income folks.” Sharkey said the push now is for more affordable supported units for
people with disabilities, mental health issues and addictions. “This is the only way to truly address the issue of homelessness.”
Barriers to stop Kin Beach vehicles RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
There’s a co-operative approach to ongoing challenges at a Vernon beach. City council agreed Monday to install barriers to prohibit traffic from going on to the Okanagan Indian Reserve portion of Kin Beach on Lakeshore Road. “I’d like to congratulate city staff and the chief and band for moving forward on this,” said Mayor Rob
“It’s unsafe with kids and people close by.” — Shirley Koenig Sawatzky. “It’s great for both communities.” The beach has long had a problem with vehicles driving on the sand, as well as activities after hours. “It’s unsafe with kids
and people close by,” said Shirley Koenig, the city’s operations manager. While there was previously a dispute between both jurisdictions over the beach, that has now been
resolved. “The safety of beachgoers is paramount to us,” said Byron Louis, Okanagan Indian Vand chief. “We are pleased to partner with the City of Vernon on this project.” Installation of the barriers will cost $20,000, with the band providing $5,000 and the remainder coming from the city. Installation of the barriers will start this week and be completed by the August long
weekend. City council has also agreed to work with the band on long-term strategies for Lakeshore Road and parking improvements in the Kin Beach area.

Labour strife continues at local libraries. Okanagan Regional Library has been advised that for the next two weeks, Canadian Union of Public Employee members will not administer the pull list. “This means that items requested by customers located at other branches will not be pulled to be sent to the customer,” said Marla O’Brien, ORL’s public relations officer. “The job action will result in delays with filling holds at all ORL branches, both union and nonunion.” CUPE staff at unionized branches — Cherryville, Falkland, Winfield, Oyama and Vernon — also continue not to collect late fees and money for room rentals and photocopiers.
“The job action will result in delays.”

Park mess is for the birds
C
oldstream Park is a special treasure. A lush canopy of leaves virtually blocks out the sun as you take the narrow, gravel road to the bottom. Once there, peace awaits, whether it’s under the picnic shelter or as you stroll along the banks of Coldstream Creek. It’s not uncommon to see deer scampering around as players run bases on the ball field. Toddlers are taught to make lots of noise in case a bear is just around the corner on the road. Vibrant red colours the creek every fall as kokanee enter the spawning cycle. Given the personal attachment so many people have for this place, current conditions are Richard Rolke disturbing. About half of the park is fenced off by mesh, while grass hasn’t been mowed and weeds are sprouting all over. Dead branches litter the ground. This is unfortunate given the park’s high use. Reunions and picnics have been sent packing. Newlyweds looking for that special photo have likely been disappointed. The playground sits vacant, just waiting for the giggles of children. The apparent reason for the mess is an endangered western screech owl setting up residence in the park. As a result, trees could not be trimmed this spring. “We don’t want to be responsible for removing habitat,” said Tannis Nelson, with the Regional District of North Okanagan. With no pruning initiated, officials were concerned a limb could snap off and conk someone on the head. As a result, fencing went up. Obviously we all want to ensure the integrity of the environment, but in the 17 years I have lived in that immediate neighbourhood,
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
this is the first time I have heard of a screech owl being around. Is this bird indigenous to the region or is it just a one-off passing through? Just look at what happened in the 1980s when the herons suddenly arrived in Vernon’s north end and nested in some trees. Habitat regulations kicked in and made it increasingly difficult for industrial lots to develop. Is this same situation going to repeat itself in Coldstream Park if the owl sticks around? Will vast portions of the property fall into disrepair? Is public access going to be severely restricted? Once again, there has to be regulations to protect wildlife habitat, particularly for species deemed to be threatened or at-risk. However, RDNO needed to take action beyond putting up a fence. Through consultation with wildlife experts, there may have been an opportunity to remove select branches or trees without disturbing the owl. Has it even been confirmed the bird has actually settled there? Perhaps Woodsy doesn’t give a hoot for his surroundings and has moved on. The death of a camper in Christina Lake unfortunately highlights the reality that trees do fall and that can have tragic consequences, but how serious is the risk in Coldstream Park? Is this just another case of liability running the world? RDNO’s plans call for removing unsafe trees in September which means use of this park has essentially been lost for an entire season. For many residents, especially those in Coldstream, much-anticipated summer activities have been put on the backburner or they have gone elsewhere. Before next May long weekend, when the park gates reopen for another year, RDNO and the ministry had better develop a concrete strategy for handling owls and public access. If that doesn’t occur, they are going to ruffle a lot of feathers.
With three fatalities occurring in less than one week on North Okanagan roads, B.C. motorists are reminded to be extra vigilant out on the asphalt. Buckle up, be alert, slow down and obey all rules of the road – that’s the message officials are trying to drive home in light of the recent accidents (which have also left several others in hospital with various injuries). Obviously the summer months mean extra vehicles in the area – as tourists take to our lakes and other amenities. And then there’s the added draw from events like Sturgis North, Summer Stomp and MetalFest. The added engines increase the odds that an accident may occur, therefore drivers must increase their road sense during this time. Motorcyclists (two of which died in crashes last week) are among the increasing number of motor vehicles in the summer. The unfortunate part is motorcyclists are eight times more likely to be killed and more than 40 per cent more likely to be injured in a crash than other road users – ICBC. On average, each year in the B.C. there are 2,200 crashes involving a motorcycle or moped resulting in 1,500 injuries and 42 deaths. Therefore extra caution and courtesy in sharing the road is needed by all – those on two wheels, three, four or more. The fact is, accidents happen, and are sometimes unavoidable. But if we all slow down and take our time to get where we’re going – the two minutes we might lose on our trip could save lives. According to DriveSmartBC, to date in 2012 there have been 234 fatal crashes throughout the province. Another nearly 14,000 have been injured. Of those, 72 of the fatals involved alcohol, as did 1,579 of the injuries. And those are just the 26,886 accidents reported.

Transit should think teenagers
W
e all anticipated this fantastic new transit schedule that was unveiled in April, only to find out that out of the only two bus routes in Coldstream, one had been cancelled and the other had been taken down from a round trip every hour to a round trip every hour and 15 minutes. When bus drivers are asked by passengers to request the next bus to wait (I believe it is called requesting a transfer), too many times the drivers never put in the request. If I only had a dime for every time my daughter called me to come pick her up in Vernon because a transfer wasn't requested. What's the point of a bus system if I have to drive from Coldstream to Vernon to pick up a stranded kid every time a bus driver doesn't call ahead? Perhaps bus drivers in Vernon and Coldstream do not feel the need to follow the actual schedule. On several occasions, they have driven past the bus stop early, so once again, I am driving into town because of a missed bus. If the schedule says they are going to be there at 9:23 a.m., that is when they should arrive, not sooner. In Vancouver, you can guarantee
that the bus will show up when expected, almost to the minute. If they can do that in a busy town, why can't bus drivers do that here? My daughter attended Okanagan College last year. To be at class on time, she usu-
MLA QUESTIONED Is it time to change our MLA? I always thought that the role of the MLA was to explain government decisions to his or her constituents. In response to concerns about selling off the liquor distribution, Eric Foster's comment, "They can say what ever they like but the government makes the decisions," explains nothing, shows no respect for the voter, and sounds like a petulant school yard bully. The last information that was available to the public, showed that the liquor distribution branch contributed to government revenues, employed local residents (providing them with a living wage) and contributed a portion of local profits earned back to our community. Would private interests do the same?

In the last 10 months of their mandate, will we see a wild rush to sell off profitable assets to the friends of the government without public scrutiny?

bus system if I still need to pick up a stranded kid? There are several more problems with this bus system but I think you get the point. It is unreliable and works on a ridiculous schedule. The city of Vernon should start thinking about better ways to improve the bus system. With it getting more expensive for people to own a car and the government making it more difficult for teens to get a driver's license, we should start adapting the bus routes to the people that use them the most, teenagers. All they are asking for is a bus to be able to get them to work on time, even on Sundays, to school or maybe even a movie. I leave with a comment by a woman that I saw on the news a few weeks ago. She was complaining that because of budgets cuts to the Vancouver transit system, she was going to have a tough time getting to work since the bus would only be going past her house every halfhour instead of every 15 minutes. It's a good thing she doesn't live here. Susan Prince
ing climate. However, I can only be discouraged that we Canadians voted in a majority federal government whose leader is not only a climate change denier, but who also seemingly subscribes to other political agendas of the Republican and Tea Party. He waited until he had a majority before passing legislation to thwart proper environmental studies and is taking steps to muzzle any criticism from well-regarded scientists. I hope the Conservative Party can be bounced in the next federal election. Although, I fear much damage will already have been done and our political and social landscape, altered forever, which perhaps is insignificant in the face of continually rapid environmental degradation.

Hansen leaving DVA post RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Earl Hansen is confident about downtown Vernon’s future. Hansen will retire as executive director of the Downtown Vernon Association Sept. 14, after six years with the organization. “Father time sometimes whisper in your ear that there are flowers to smell and mountains to climb,” said Hansen, who will remain in Vernon. “It’s time to move on and for someone else who can bring new energy downtown and bring it to the next level.” But while he is departing his job, Hansen says the central core remains vibrant and is critical to Vernon’s social and economic interests. “Downtown is the hub of Vernon,” he said. “We have got involved again with Winter Carnival and we’re drawing about 650 people to the Civic Sounds concerts on Thursday nights.” He admits, though, that downtown continues to experience some challenges. “Development of the north end is always a concern for merchants,” he said. “One issue people would also like to see some
“Downtown is the hub of Vernon.” — Earl Hansen movement on is parking.” Hansen says there has been significant progress in dealing with public perceptions about safety. “There was a lot of drug crime six years ago and the situation expressed by businesses was their customers didn’t feel safe. The RCMP was eager to work with the DVA and we brought in security,” he said. Ruth Hoyte, DVA president, has considerable praise for Hansen. “Earl has been the dedicated leader of our staff team and has made noteworthy contributions in several key areas of DVA activity including security, mural development and special events,” she said. The DVA is initiating a process to find a new executive director.

A new Thursday market is in the works for Vernon. The city has given the Okanagan Centre for Spiritual Living approval to use a parking block in the 2900 block of
29th Avenue for a seasonal night market. “This is not intended to be solely a farmers market; rather it is hoped to create a market of cultural diversity, an opportunity to attract people into a culturally
creative atmosphere where an energy of connectivity is propagated,” said Dale Jukes, with the centre. Council’s approval of the cityowned lot is for a one-year trial basis.

A
year to remember is 1912. That’s when the greatest steamship in
the world, the Titanic, went down after a collision with an iceberg. What was Vernon like in 1912? The period from 1890 to 1913
was a time of growth and development for the prosperous community of Vernon. It was evolving from a village to a thriving town.
WE’LL BE IN VERNON, EXCHANGING THE OLD BC HYDRO METER ON YOUR HOME WITH A NEW SMART METER. BC Hydro is upgrading homes and businesses with new smart meters. Moving to a more efďŹ cient, modernized grid will help us meet the growing demand for electricity while continuing to deliver safe, reliable power throughout the province.
In 1911, the population was 2,671 and the city speed limit was 15 miles per hour. Within this period, the post office opened and the Hudson`s Bay Company opened its third store on Barnard Avenue (30th Avenue). The militia camp opened on Mission Hill and a second CPR station was constructed. From 1912 to 1914, the present-day court house on 27th Street, was built. The building was designed by Thomas Hooper, a famous Vancouver architect, who designed well known landmarks in Vancouver, such as the Vancouver Carnegie
Library. The architectural style of the court house is classical revival. It creates the feeling of a Greek temple with its ionic columns supporting a central block with flanking wings on each side. The building was constructed of white granite from a quarry on the south side of Ellison Park on Okanagan Lake. Back to 1912, when the All Saints Anglican hall was built as a scaled-down version of the 1907 church which burned down. The hall was moved to its present location on 27th Street. The Bank of Montreal was built in the high Victorian
Queen Ann revival style in 1893. It was moved in 1909 to its present location at 2908 32nd St. This building is valued as one of the earliest important brick commercial buildings in the Interior. The Bank of Commerce, which is currently Phoenix Steak House, was built in 1913/14 and is noted for its beaux arts design. This well loved building is located at 3117 30th Avenue.

designed by architect O. Beaston Hatchard, in what was then known as the Pine Grove subdivision. The twin-gabled bungalow, with matching carriage house, is also of merit due to its fine detailing of half timbering, triangular dormers and stately cupolas. An historical footnote from 1912: In April 1912, the Vernon News reported the arrival of Baron and Baroness Herry and stated the baronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family and retinue will form a welcome addition to the population of the district. The baron secured 76 acres to plant orchards and another 18 acres to build a home. In her later years, the baroness employed her artistic talents for sketching and painting landscapes of the Okanagan. In 2002, the Vernon Public Art Gallery mounted a retrospective of her artwork. This is the inaugural article of a new series of historical vignettes on buildings and landmarks that we all know by sight, but may not know the people who created them or the dreams they had.

Enderby festival promises to be entertaining Morning Star Staff
Enderby is the fun place to be on Saturday. The 2012 Enderby Arts Festival runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. downtown, and the organizers, volunteers from the Enderby and District Arts Council, are promising a diverse collection of free entertainment. “It will be a day of markets, music, magic and arts,” said organizing chairman Neil Fidler, adding “The estimated attendance in 2011 exceeded 1,200.” This year, the day begins with an Enderby Lion’s Club pancake breakfast on Belvedere Street from 7 to 10 a.m. In Belvidere Park, Vernon’s Society for Creative Anachronism invites all to experience life 1,000 years ago at a PHOTO SUBMITTED medieval fair from 10 Dancer Glen a.m. to 4 p.m. Michell takes The green pavilions to the stage at – one filled with garb 10:45 a.m. and for dressing up – will 1:50 p.m. ring with the sounds of knights’ sword play, and dancing and medieval games by the Shuswap River. In the pedestrians-only area of Cliff Avenue, the festival stage offers non-stop entertainment
PHOTO SUBMITTED
Jim Copeman will facilitate a drum circle during the Enderby Arts Festival Saturday. from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., starting with fiddler Andrew Mercer and the Celtic band Cod Gone Wild. The festival is anchored by the sixth annual artisans market and food court on Maud Street. It features the work of 45 artisans with offerings ranging from glass etching and hot sauces to tea and sculptural needle felting.
Merchants are encouraged to take to the street with displays of goods and services, and families can wander amid the display booths of non-profits, musicians, spinning and weaving demonstrations and infectiously happy Shriner clowns. The clowns will be selling raffle tickets to raise funds for operation of the Care Cruiser
Bus which picks up sick children and their caregivers in Enderby (and everywhere else in B.C.) to take them free of charge to hospitals and Ronald McDonald House. Visitors can also head over to the Masonic Hall on Mill Avenue to see the results of the Snapshots and Shutterbugs photography competition. The Shuswap Spinners and Weavers, FAB Fiber Arts Bootcamp and Runaway Moon Theatre will be on Cliff Avenue with demonstrations and teaching new skills to adults and children. The festival also includes aboriginal culture with powwow dancing by Glen Michell and his sons Eric and Joe. “Glen is a member of the Siska First Nation in Lytton and he will be wearing an outfit he made involving beadwork and a feathered head-dress,” said Alyson Witts, a festival organizer. “Glen’s outfit and those of his sons will be on display at the Enderby Museum during the Enderby Art Walk, which forms part of the festival.” There’s also face painting by Yvonne Boyd, who is coming from the Kootenays, two Feel the Rhythm drum circles facilitated by Jim Copemam, and live painting and music by Lake Country’s Nikki and James Balfour. The festival sponsors are the B.C. Arts Council, the Enderby Credit Union, the Enderby Chamber of Commerce, Hungry Jack’s Cafe and the Enderby Care Society.

Vancouver’s Katheryn Petersen is about to share the love she has with her main squeeze. The accordionist is in Vernon this week to visit some friends and meet some new ones. She will be hanging out and playing at the Talkin’ Donkey on Friday and hopes some local musicians and accordion lovers will come out and introduce themselves. “From 8 to 9 p.m., I will be playing my accordion and talking a bit about the growing accordion scene in Vancouver and the fifth annual Accordion Noir Festival, Sept. 13 to 16,” said Petersen, who is also the artistic co-ordinator of the festival. “From 9 to 10 p.m., I will open up the mic for local musicians and accordion lovers to come and introduce themselves and have some fun.” Also a poet, videographer and yoga teacher, Petersen has played music all of her life and specifically the accordion for nine years.

She has played for Joanna Chapman Smith, Blackberry Wood, The Burnettes, Something About Reptiles, Los Portenos del Norte, Melissa Bandura, Babe Gurr, Morgan Finlay and many others.

Where Do We Go Now? deals with the issue of religion in the Middle East.
People’s choice makes stop at Vernon cinema Vernon Film Society
The second movie of the Vernon Film Society’s summer season is Where Do We Go Now? It will be shown at Town Theatre Monday at 5:45 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. This movie won the People’s Choice Award at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival and is a multi-national film from France, Lebanon, Italy and Egypt. It is in Arabic and Russian with English subtitles. It is a musical fable addressing the charged topic of religious differences in the Middle East. Set in a Lebanese village isolated from the surrounding world, the story develops after a series of misunderstandings between the population’s Muslim and Christian communities. The women of the community do not want to see more strife and hatch a scheme to distract the village’s men
from escalating violence. This ranges from distracting them by importing Ukrainian showgirls to serving hash cookies at a dance party. They do not go as far as the women in the Greek play Lysistrata withholding sex but are determined to use their wits and creativity to help their village remain peaceful. The original music, dance numbers and accomplished professional and non-professional actors make this film an entertaining view of a part of the world we usually only see portrayed on our nightly news. A fantasy of course, but one that leavens its sombre subject with beguiling grace and charm. It is directed by Nadine Labaki, who also appears in the film. Tickets are available at the Bean Scene and Town Theatre one week prior and at the door. All seats are $7.

IMPLANT SUPPORTED DENTURE Are loose dentures a problem for you?
Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: This week, Gail Morgan fills in for regular columnist Jocelyne Sewell. Gail and Allen Morgan own and operate BX Creek Daylilies in Vernon. e would like to invite you to enjoy the gardens at BX Creek Daylilies, an American Hemerocallis Society Display Garden, July 28 and 29 and Aug. 4 and 5, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. It is so hard to believe seven years have gone by since our first open garden. What changes time makes. Daylilies are often referred to as the perfect perennial. They require little Jocelyne Sewell care and are almost pest-free. They are considered droughttolerant, but love water if they can get it. They will grow in just about any type of soil. Our side yard couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even grow a decent lawn, as we are located on an old gravel pit, but the daylilies thrive just as well as in the soil we brought in for the front yard.

something distinct enough to register. It is thrilling to go out each morning with my camera, to see what is new, and if one of the seedlings can take my breath away. You just never know what the outcome will be when you cross two different plants, you can get five to 10 seeds in a pod and all the siblings will be different, some just slightly, and some extremely so. Just look at your children or your siblings! We will be making our first registrations this year and have reserved the names â&#x20AC;&#x153;BX Streamâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guilty Pleasure.â&#x20AC;? The Carlyles from Unique Garden Art and Gifts have decorated the garden with some of their wares. Daryl will be here to show many of his unique concrete art creations. The garden is located at 4617 Pleasant Valley Rd., between Hunterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Store and Butcher Boys. Please park on the road and walk in, as we only have one parking spot and it is reserved as a loading zone. For more information, call Gail at 250309-0528. If it is going to be a scorching day, come early; the hosts and the flowers can fade in extreme heat!
Crisis Line volunteering: experience the rewards Morning Star Staff
If your dentures shift while chewing or talking and you are tired of those embarrasing moments, consider dental implants for stabilization.
The only maintenance we do in the garden is in the fall, cutting them back to about six inches with a serrated bread knife. We also fertilize once in the spring with a slow release, and that is it. Then we sit back and enjoy the ever changing blooms started at the middle of June, and winding down in September. The smallest in our collection measures an inch across and only a foot high, while the largest in our collection measures 11 inches across and more than five feet tall. The varieties of colours, shapes, patterns, ruffles, teeth, metallic edges is overwhelming and hybridizers keep coming out with more wild variations every year. With the very cool wet spring, the daylilies are very large and lush. Bloom season started about two weeks earlier than in the past, but we are anticipating having more than 1,500 different plants in bloom, including hundreds of seedlings that we have hybridized. (Not a fancy term, just cross pollinating plants to hopefully getting something better!) Hybridizing is the most exciting part of our hobby, the anticipation of creating
If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some spare time and the desire to improve your communication skills, the Crisis Line could use your help. Volunteers are needed to answer phones at the Crisis Line. Volunteer commitment is a total of 200 hours, fulfilled by completing three four-hour shifts and one overnight shift per month. The shift calendar is generally flexible to accommodate varying needs. The next volunteer training session is Aug. 20 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Aug. 21 and 22 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., both days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking for individuals interested
in learning to help people help themselves,â&#x20AC;? said Sharon Durant, community education and program support manager for the PIN (People in Need) Crisis Line, which is operated by the Vernon branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This volunteer experience is invaluable for everyone who takes part, whether you are a student, work in the helping field or an individual who finds it rewarding to help people in need of emotional support, community referrals or crisis intervention.â&#x20AC;? Participants will learn enhanced communication skills and the difference between healthy and unhealthy behaviours.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;For those going into social work, human service work and psychology related fields, potential employers value the skill set and knowledge that our volunteers bring to the workplace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hours on the line will also fulfill the required volunteer expectation of your program. If you can give the gift of time and wish to make a difference in the lives of others, then consider becoming a member of the Crisis Line team.â&#x20AC;?

It’s all about cherries
n Sunday’s paper I asked the question, “Are cherries the new Wonder Fruit?” and mentioned some of the wonderful attributes of this fruit. “Available dried, frozen and in juice and concentrate, tart cherries contain a unique package of antioxidants and beneficial phytonutrients, including anthocyanins. There are now more than 50 studies specifically on tart cherries and scientists continue to uncover new and important benefits of this fruit,” according to informaCathi Litzenberger tion from Health Canada. B.C. produces 5.5 million kilograms of sweet cherries and 1 million kilograms of sour cherries. This is about 60 per cent of the Canadian cherry crop. The main varieties grown in B.C. are Bing, Lambert, Van, Lapins and Sweetheart. Enjoy today’s recipes using sour cherries. Delicious Cherry Liqueur 1 large (4 L) glass jar with tight-fitting lid White sugar Sour cherries, pitted, with juices Vodka, or grain alcohol (Everclear); use the cheapest Pure water Put white sugar 1-inch deep in a jar, add 1 inch of cherries, then 1 inch of sugar, one inch of cherries and end with one inch of sugar. Then, if you hate the taste of vodka, add a 50/50 mixture of grain alcohol (Everclear is a name brand) and water or 26 oz. of vodka and water and pour it over all and make sure that it is full. Put the lid on tight and tuck it in the pantry for 4 to 6 months. Give it a shake every month. When it is ready, all the sugar is melted and you have a delicious liqueur. If for some reason the sugar doesn’t all melt then turn it upside down and get

it moving. Eventually it all melts. This makes great gifts for Christmas! Sour Cherry Streusel Cake 2 cups (500 mL) all-purpose flour 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar 1 tbsp. (15 mL) baking powder 1/4 tsp. (1 mL) salt 1/3 cup (75 mL) butter, at room temperature 3- 1/2 oz. almond paste 1 egg 1 cup (250 mL) half-and-half or light cream 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1/2 tsp. almond extract 2 tsp. grated lemon zest 4 - 5 cups (1 L) pitted, drained sour cherries or other seasonal sliced fruits Streusel Topping 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) all-purpose flour 1 generous cup (260 mL) brown sugar 3/4 cup (190 mL) butter, at room temperature Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in the work bowl of a food processor. Using the work blade, cut in butter and almond paste to make coarse crumbs. Beat egg in a bowl; stir in cream, zest and extracts. Pour this slowly through the feed tube of the food processor, and pulse the mixture until just mixed — it should make a quite thick batter. Drop by spoonfuls into a parchment-lined, generously buttered 13 x 9-inch (3-L) cake pan and spread evenly. Top with cherries in a single layer. Combine flour and brown sugar in a bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or fork to make coarse crumbs (or you can do this first, in the food processor, before you make the batter and reserve it). Sprinkle evenly over fruit. Bake on middle rack of oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until top is golden. Place pan on a rack and let cool. Cut into squares and serve.

The Lewis’ woodpecker is considered to be threatened in the Okanagan because of a lack of habitat.
Woodpecker sightings sought Morning Star Staff
The search is on for a rare resident of the Okanagan. The public is being urged to report sightings of the Lewis’ woodpecker to the Wildlife Tree Stewardship Program. “The Lewis’ woodpecker is classified as a federally threatened species due to its small and locally distributed populations, restricted range, and loss of habitat,” said Lisa Scott, regional co-ordinator. “It is estimated that fewer than 1,000 individuals occur in the — Lisa province.” A migratory bird, it returns to the Okanagan in May every year, and nests from mid-June to late July. “Widespread clearing of pine forests and cottonwood stands is likely responsible for much of the
species’ decline,” said Scott. “Increasing human development in the Interior continues to result in the loss of important habitat for this woodpecker. Fire suppression in Ponderosa pine forests is common practice in the province, and results in the development of dense stands that are entirely unsuitable for Lewis’ woodpecker.” This woodpecker is unique looking with its glossy greenish-black head, back, wings and tail, a rosy belly, grey collar and breast and a red face. Its flight pattern is distinctive Scott from other woodpeckers. They fly slow and direct, similar to crows or jays, with long glides and aerial manoeuvres. If you spot a Lewis’ woodpecker or identify a nest tree, call 250-404-0115 or e-mail witsos@shaw.ca.
“It is estimated that fewer than 1,000 individuals occur in the province.”

Vernon Fire Rescue ringing alarm bells
V
ernon Fire Rescue Services has been experiencing what, to me, is an amazing phenomenon about fire alarm signal
responses. People are being slow in response to fire alarm signals or are ignoring them completely. In some cases, they are so
focused on their busy lives they continue their activities, presume the alarm is false and do not take precious time to leave the premises.
Ironically, preto fire safety rules and cious time is what that procedures.

shower or a dusty or faulty detector, there is a problem. Like that aggravating buzzer that sounds when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do up your seat belt, the fire alarm is warning you that something is wrong and could be threatening your safety. If you consider staying, without knowing what the problem is, ask yourself, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do I feel lucky today?â&#x20AC;? History has proven time and time again to be very tragic for the ones who have lost that bet. !S LONG AS WE HAVE fires, one of our best defenses against them is still a properly maintained fire alarm system. It stands on guard around the clock and protects us through early warning which supplies time to make our escape to safety. Unless you are absolutely sure of the cause and know it is safe, the time to leave when a fire alarm sounds is now. Only when everyone is safely outside and the fire department
declares it safe should you consider re-entering THE BUILDING !FTER ALL who better than the fire department to check whether it is safe to be in a building when the fire alarm goes off? It is what we are trained for and we have the equipment to do it safely. Vernon Fire Rescue Services wants you to know that a fire alarm is something to take very seriously. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take any chances. Treat every fire alarm as if it is warning you about a life threatening fire because it very well could be. There is nothing so important in oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life that it should come between you and your familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety. Please, err on the side of caution and get to safety when the fire alarm sounds because, believe me, there is no such thing as a false alarm when it comes to fire.

Synchro girls shine Morning Star Staff
Vernon and area synchronized swimmers sizzled at the B.C. Summer Games in Surrey. Coached by Katie Dick of Vernon, the local girls pocketed seven medals at the Surrey Sports and Leisure Complex. Shelby Kerr of Vernon struck gold in Level 2/3 solo, while earning silver medals in Level 2/3 figures. Kerr, along with Julia Palfreyman and Charlotte Barker, of Vernon, Taylor Sexsmith of Lumby and Kelowna’s Hanna Ruste and Zoe oberts, also struck silver in the team event. Palfreyman combined with Barker for gold in the Level 2/3 duet, while placing 12th out of 30 competitors in Level 2/3 figures. Barker finished 13th in figures and Sexsmith was 16th. “The Zone 2 synchronized Swimmers from Vernon, Lumby and Kelowna truly represented their communities and their sport,” said Dick. “Shelby Kerr, Julia Palfreyman and Charlotte Barker of Vernon were joined by Taylor Sexsmith of Lumby and Hannah Ruste and Zoe Roberts of Kelowna in only the past six weeks to choreograph, learn and perfect a brand new routine that usually takes a full year to create. “These girls performed at their absolute best and can truly say they enjoyed every moment of their B.C. Summer Games experience. The girls were focused and motivated to do well, and as a team, they reached their goal of being on the podium. The team of six received the highest marks, placing their routine scores in first place, but in championship scores they fell to silver place. There wasn’t a person at the competition who didn’t complement them on
their outstanding performance.” Dick thanked members of the community for supporting their bottle drives and swim-a-thons. Mason Christenson of Vernon helped Zone 2 defeat Fraser RiverDelta 1-0 (4-3) in penalty kicks for the bronze medal in girls soccer. In boys soccer, Owen Miller of Vernon and Ben Purvis of Armstrong played for the Thompson-Okanagan, 1-0 losers to the Fraser Valley in the bronze-medal match. Purvis, a winger, scored once in both his Zone’s wins, 5-0 over the North West and 5-0 over the Kootenays. Miller said the ThompsonOkanagan boys gave Fraser Valley a serious battle for bronze. “We hit the post a couple of times and they scored off a bad bounce on a corner,” said Miller, a central fullback. “It was disappointing, but it (Games) was a lot of fun; it was worth it.” Zone 2 finished fourth in both box lacrosse and boys volleyball. Liam Drabiuk, Jonathan Grant, Tyler Landry and Jake Thompson, all of Vernon, and Justin Backus of Enderby played box lacrosse, while Nick Prystupa of Vernon was on the volleyball team. In baseball, Vernon was well represented by Dylan Emmons and Parker Friesen as Zone 2 finished fifth at 2-1-1. Emmons closed Game 1 on the mound, allowing no runs in the last inning of a 7-3 loss to Fraser Valley. He then pitched a one-hitter over three innings as the ThompsonOkanagan tied Vancouver IslandCentral Coast 4-4. Friesen played second base in Game 2 while going 2-for-3 with three RBI.
Emmons played third base with no errors and going 3-for-3 at the plate as Zone 2 beat Victoria 7-4. Friesen patrolled centre field and tracked down three pop flies in the middle innings. Emmons was the designated hitter and touched the bases three times as Zone 2 ambushed the Kootenays 11-1. Friesen went 2-for-2 with two ribbies. In golf, Mackenzie Barrie finished seventh in the girls division with a two-round total 160. Matt McEachran-Law was 21st in boys golf at 163, while Russell Day was 29th at 172. In track and field, Jared Sexsmith of Lumby was fifth in the high jump (1.65 metres), seventh in the long jump (5.1m) and 11th in javelin (32.61m). “These Games saw a number of records fall as B.C.’s best (2,300 athletes) came together,” said Games President and CEO Kelly Mann. “That shows that B.C.’s investment in sport is paying off. We are seeing an escalation in skills in several sports, and many of the young people who competed here are well on their way to becoming provinciallevel athletes. “I firmly believe that many of the stars produced by these Summer Games in Surrey will one day compete for our country.” With an average athlete age of 14 years, the B.C. Games are an important step and a training ground for the province’s best young athletes as they work toward provincial and national team programs. The B.C. Games cauldron will be lit again in 2014 in Mission for the Winter Games, and in Nanaimo for the Summer Games.

Tigers face elimination in Game 4 tonight at Wesbild Morning Star Staff
There will be no room for error when the Vernon Re/Max Tigers host the Kamloops Venom in Game 4 of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League finals tonight (7:30) at Wesbild Centre. The Cats burned their final Get Out of Jail Free card in Monday night’s dismal
17-8 loss to the host Venom in Game 3 at Memorial Arena. A win tonight would push the best-offive series back to Kamloops Friday night. A loss equals season over. “None of us are panicking right now,” said Vernon head coach Myles Brumpton. “As far as I’m concerned, the pressure’s all
on them. “We told the boys to wash this one away and we’ve still got another crack at it. That’s the beauty of a five-game series. We’ve got some great leaders and some real character on this team. I don’t see these guys laying down.” Trailing 5-4 heading into the second
period, Vernon buried three unanswered goals to take a 7-5 lead midway through the frame. However, things seriously unravelled for the visitors as Kamloops went on a nine-goal run to all but seal the win before the break. After that, it was all about damage control for Vernon.

Riders descend on Silver Star course Morning Star/Silver Star Staff
JOSÉ LAROCHELLE/MORNING STAR
Whistler rider Maria Darquier stays focused as she makes the last jump at the Momentum B.C. Cup Downhill Race Sunday at Silver Star Mountain Resort.
Host to a World Cup in 1994 and multiple B.C. and Canada Cup races through the late 1990s, it’s been 11 years since Silver Star Mountain Resort held a major mountain bike race. All of that changed last weekend as 334 racers challenged the gnarly Dag’s downhill course in a Momentum B.C. Cup Downhill Race Sunday. “This is the biggest turnout to a B.C. Cup event this summer,” said summer business manager Ian Galbraith. “People who had raced here in the past were itching to get back and the hype around Silver Star’s amazing trails brought tons of young racers as well.” The nearly perfect weather and electrifying atmosphere generated by the announcer and exhibitors also drew a strong contingent of recreational riders to the park, and the resort set a record for visitation on Saturday with a total of 730 mountain bikers enjoying the 18 trails in the park. Racers and their families traveled from all over B.C. and Alberta with an small contingent from Switzerland who had planned their holidays around the event. Peachland’s Barb Haley, former national DH champion crowned at Silver Star back in the day, was the only competitor to race on a hardtail and finished in four minutes, 51 seconds. The races went off with only one small hitch as a thunderstorm rolled in on the mountain and poured rain on the last 10 racers of the day competing in the Men’s Elite category. Tara Mowat of Vancouver ruled the Elite Women in three minutes, 44 seconds. Katherine Short of Halfmoon Bay, B.C. was second in 3:58, followed by Lindsay Trimble of Burnaby, in 4:04. Fastest woman of the day was Harriet Eve Harper of Nelson, New Zealand, racing in the 30+ Citizen category, in three minutes, 41 seconds.
Kiwi Boyd Grinstead ruled the 30+ Citizen Men’s class, in 3:22.76, edging Coldstream’s A.J. Cleary (3:22.93). Peter Sorey of Vernon placed 10th in 3:58.11, while Rod Shigeoka was 15th in 4:16 and Michael Giesbrecht 17th in 4:19 to round out the locals. Vernon’s Eric Price topped the 19-29 Citizen Men Division in 3:20, while Vernon riders Terence Giesbrecht and Brad Miller finished ninth and 14th respectively. The Junior Expert Men (17-18 year olds) title went to Mark Wallace of Duncan, who posted the fastest time of the day at 3:05. McKay Vezina of Newbury Park, Calif. struck silver in 3:09, while Forrest Riesco of Gibsons bagged bronze in 3:10. Jayson Giorio of Vernon was 10th in 3:29. Nicholas Geddes of Whistler topped the Elite Men in 3:10, ahead of Coquitlam’s Ken Faubert in 3:13 and Cory Brunelle of 150 Mile House in 3:14. Vernon’s Regan Hogelie was 17th in 3:23. Wyatt Kellin of Drayton Valley, Alta. won the U17 Expert Men crown in 3:28, while D’Arcy O’Connor of Burnaby ruled the Master 30-39 Men class in 3:33 and Patrik Kuster of Zurich ruled the Senior Men category in 3:18. Dylan Hoover of Vernon placed 11th in the U17 Expert Men in 3:41. Kyle Stinn of Vernon was 14th in the U17 Sport Men class in 3:47 and Garnet Atonyk of Vernon 37th in 4:29, while Samantha Hoover was second in Junior Women (15-18 years) in 5:09. The next big mountain bike event to hit the trails at Silver Star is the Freeride Festival on Aug. 25-26 featuring the Camp of Champions Air Bag, Norco Demo Tent, and the Jump Jam. The Star’s next non-biking event is the 3D Archery Nationals, Aug. 3-5. The resort expects more than 300 competitors to attend from all over the country for this unique event.
Venom explode in second period Continued from A27 “All four aspects of our game – between goaltending, offence, defence and transition – went to sleep, and everything they shot went in,” said Brumpton. “If we would have
had one more goal (earlier in the second period), we would have put their crowd to sleep. It was a quiet building after our third goal. “They got a lucky bounce off one of our player’s sticks that
deflected in and that just seemed to give them momentum. It was one goal after the other. Guys that don’t normally score were scoring highlight-reel goals.” Craig Bigsby, with a pair, Jay Seaton, with

Quarin, Nolan Frame and Landels tallied for the Cats in the middle frame, and Jordan Orr scored once in the final period. The Venom got goals from nine different players, led by Jerome Thorne’s 4+3 performance. Captain Riley Donahue added 2+2. Vernon netminder Tyler Landry returned to the crease Monday night after playing last weekend with the Thompson-Okanagan Zone 2 team at the B.C. Summer Games in Surrey. The Venom’s second-period scoring spree resulted in Josh Point taking over, and finishing the game. The series winner advances to Junior B provincials, Aug. 3-5 at Bear Mountain Arena in Juan de Fuca.

Sports Pospisil soaring into Games LADIES ON THE RISE Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Vasek Pospisil took a red-eye flight to London for the Olympics Sunday night, just hours after winning the $50,000 National Bank Challenger men’s tennis tournament in Granby, Que. The 22-year-old won $7,200 by grounding Igor Sijsling of Holland 7-6, 6-4 in Sunday’s final. Pospisil also picked up 90 ranking points which Vasek Pospisil moved him back into the top 100 at No. 85. Pospisil advanced Saturday with a 6-7, 7-5, 6-4 win over Philip Bester in an all-Vancouver semifinal while Sijsling also rallied from a set down to defeat fourth-seeded Danai Udomchoke of Thailand 6-7, 6-3, 6-4.
Bester appeared to have the upper hand after he won the first-set tiebreaker and went ahead 2-1 on serve in the second set. Pospisil was experiencing back spasms and received on-court treatment during an injury time out. Pospisil came into the Challenger at No. 109 after a month of losses on the grass-court circuit. He also played doubles, joining Bester to beat the Japanese team of Yuichi Ito and Takuto Niki in Saturday’s final. Pospisil will play in the singles in the Olympics but feels his best chance for a medal will be with Daniel Nestor in the doubles. Nestor is the top-ranked doubles player in the ATP rankings and won the gold medal in men’s doubles with Boucherville’s Sebastien Lareau at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.

Love’s tender touch yields win Morning Star Staff
Unlike the July weather, Turn-Key Controls have been scorching in North Okanagan Soccer League play this month. The Controllers ran their win streak to four games by stuffing the host Salmon Arm Outlaws 5-0 in a makeup game Monday night. Turn-Key (9-4-1) opened the scoring in the second minute when Nolan’s Pharamsave Man of the Match Brendan Love headed home an Andrew Pool cross at the back post. Love returned the favour midway through the half when Pool volleyed home the Love cross to put Turn-Key up by two. Turn-Key sustained pressure and it was Love who kept giving defenders fits when he blasted the ball past the Outlaws’ keeper after an Evan Moore cross, to put Turn-Key ahead 3-0. Preston Tucker added one more before the half ended when he converted on a through ball pass from Chris Jahnig and danced around the keeper. The second half saw much of the same from the 9-4-1 Controllers, with Moore finishing off a long throw-in from Jeremy Kler that was flicked forward from Tucker. The Turn-Key defence of Sam Nolan, Carson Haywood-Farmer, Kyle Goodgrove and Bryce Paterson were solid in shutting down the Outlaws in support of Kler and Taylor Horsting who split the shutout.
Celtic fall to Sturgeon Hall In men’s 35+ league play, the Vernon Celtic lost 5-2 to Kelowna’s Sturgeon Hall FC Monday night at Rutland Sports Fields. The injury-riddled Celtic (7-4-2) could not upset the strong Sturgeon Hall boys (6-3-3) in a clean, cardless game. The Celtic opened the scoring within two minutes when Tim McGowan slipped in front of his marker and converted a cross from Jesse Knight. Sturgeon Hall started to push and forced some acrobatic saves from Mike Collins, who excels in goal week after week and reportedly is followed by several teams in the over 45 league. Miscommunication in the Celtic defence allowed the hosts to equalize on a corner. Shortly after, Sturgeon Hall took the lead after a fluent combination. The Celtic did not give up and a strong rush from Chris Ovens was stopped by a foul around the 16-yard box. The ensuing free kick was curled into the top corner by Bryan Schenker. The Celtic could not celebrate for long as Sturgeon Hall found a way through right

after kick-off to take the lead again, just before the break. To make matters worse, the Celtic lost defensive anchor Jason Beck at halftime with a calf issue. Chris Bader, who walked in the park with his dog, thinking to be a spectator, was forced to get dressed and entered as a substitute. With half the Celtic team limping around in a fantasy lineup, Sturgeon Hall took full advantage and scored two goals in the second half. After the game, rookie Ovens went to the washroom to shake off some nerves; teammate Volker Otto thought he left and took his sportsbag home (including his car keys), leaving Ovens all by himself for over an hour in Rutland. The Celtic team is now unsure if Ovens is willing to play anymore away games. Salmon Arm grounded the shorthanded Vernon Kal Tire 8-0 in other 35+ play at Marshall Field #2. The Shuswap boys went to 7-3-3, while the Tiremen dipped to 1-10-2. The Big O Tire/Turn-Key Ogopogos clipped the Rented Mules 1-0 in Capri Insurance 45+ league action Monday night.

The
Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder ANOTHER DEAL FOR BRAVERY Philip Sidney, an Elizabethan poet, courtier and soldier who was buried in St. Paul’s Cathedral after dying from a wound received in the Battle of Zutphen in 1586, said, “A true knight is fuller of bravery in the midst of danger than in the beginning.” If only East had been a soldier in this deal, his side would have done much better. East passed as dealer, South opened one diamond, and West overcalled one heart. (Although it would have worked well here, a takeout double with a singleton club is not recommended. Also, it is usually best to show a fivecard major.) North bravely responded one no-trump,
despite his uncertain heart stopper, to tell partner that he had some values. East passed again, not liking his singleton heart. South might have passed, but retreated to two diamonds. After two passes, East, in the midst of the battle, should have bravely bid two spades. This ought to show both black suits because with only spades, he would have bid earlier. Then presumably West would have taken a shot at four spades, which would have made with an overtrick. To make matters worse, the defense was poor. West led his singleton club, an excellent choice. South took East’s nine with her ace and played a low trump. If West had taken the trick, any major-suit
continuation would have worked. But when West won the second diamond, he erred by cashing the heart ace and playing another heart. Now South took two hearts, five diamonds and three clubs. Finally, an expert East would have played highlow in diamonds to show a spade card.

Afterglow I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one, I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways; of happy times and laughing times of bright and sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun; of happy memories that I leave when life is done.
love, the family.

News Protesters want district to release canine
BARRY GERDING Black Press
Supporters of a Lake Country couple trying to have their malamute dog released from the dog pound flooded the meeting room of
the Regional District of Central Okanagan board Monday. More than 100 people, some with their dogs, gathered outside the RDCO office to show their support for Jennifer
and Peter Madsen. The Madsens are owners of the impounded dog Shadow, which was picked up a year ago for being a dangerous dog and is now the subject of a court case.
While the Madsens have many issues with the evidence against their dog, their immediate objective is to have Shadow released back into their care. The Madsens led

the protesters inside the RDCO headquarters, surrounding the board room table as the directors dealt with an issue on the agenda. After that issue was addressed with a vote, RDCO chairperson Robert Hobson took a moment to acknowledge the protesters. While he was not prepared to deal with a matter before the courts relating to Shadow’s situation, Hobson assured the Madsens and their supporters that the board “has noted your presence here tonight and your concerns.” He also noted the regional district released a fact statement on the case of Shadow which hadn’t yet been widely publicized by the media. Hobson said he and regional district staff were willing to meet with the Madsens at a future date and discuss the release of Shadow to their temporary care. He also acknowledged the quiet and respectful way the group filed into the RDCO board meeting room without disrupting the debate taking place at the time with an agenda matter. Jennifer Madsen said after leaving the meeting that while she was disappointed the board wouldn’t hear their concerns, she was happy about the possibility of a meeting with RDCO staff. “It’s a small step forward,” Madsen said, reiterating that their first goal is to get Shadow out of the dog pound and back into their temporary care pending the outcome of the court battle. Supporters at the rally encouraged each other to stand behind the Madsens, to start a petition, use the media to get their message out and to phone RDCO officials to voice their displeasure at how Shadow’s case is being handled.
