News City patrol targeting drug use

Vernon tapping into meters

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Controversy over smart meters continues to make headlines, but the gadgets are going in. A few thousand of the 45,000 remote monitoring devices destined for the Greater Vernon area have already been installed. “Overall, we’re getting positive feedback,� said Gary Murphy, B.C. Hydro chief project officer. “There are a few naysayers but we listen respectively to their concerns.� Some residents claim frequencies from the meters could negatively impact health. They also say personal privacy could be invaded. “Health Canada and health organizations globally say the radio frequencies at this level are safe,� said Murphy, adding transmissions from a household meter will operate for less than a minute a day. “Is that worth getting wrapped around the axle on?� As for using meter readings to determine what a customer is doing in their home, Murphy says, “We have no capacity to spy on our customers.� B.C. Hydro insists smart meters will benefit customers by providing them online access to their consumption history hourby-hour. Through that process, they will be able to adjust their electrical use. The meters will also detect power outages. Among those who now has a meter is Peter McClean, a Coldstream councillor. “I have evaluated the concerns addressed and I don’t stand by it,� he said of the potential health impact. “I use cell phones a lot and there are a lot of frequencies happening and it’s not a concern.� McClean says he is looking forward to

Dean Little, with Corix Utilities, installs a smart meter at Peter McClean’s house in Coldstream Tuesday. monitoring his consumption so he can be more efficient. “I can see what the water feature (pond) is doing and the heaters in the garage are doing.� Some residents are demanding the right to refuse smart meters and continue with existing meter reading procedures. “We’re building a cohesive network where information gets sent back to us so we can monitor the grid,� said Murphy.

“If people opt out, the benefits go out the window. It’s not fair to the vast majority of customers who don’t want to subsidize this (separate system).� B.C. Hydro, however, hasn’t ruled out an opt-out clause. “It’s a remote possibility but I won’t say it won’t happen,� said Murphy. Installation of smart meters should be completed in the Greater Vernon area by October.

There appears to be an increase in drug activity in Vernon. The city’s summer safety patrol found 676 crack bags in June, up from 444 in June, July and August 2011. “We’re working with the police and street nurse to address the users and people leaving the stuff around,� said Jim Patenaude, protective services manager. The most common locations for drug Jim Patenaude activity and found paraphernalia are the hillside above the Schubert Centre, the 25th Avenue trail by the Dragoons memorial, the upper trail and boardwalk in Polson Park and along the tracks on 31st Street, by 43rd Avenue. Actual contact with the addicts has been limited. “The safety patrol is on the lookout for the users but they don’t seem to be around,� said Patenaude. Another issue the safety patrol has been dealing with is graffiti. “There are some new tags,� said Patenaude. Statistics show 96 cases of graffiti during June and the primary sites are the Highway 97 overpass and warehouses in the north end.

Trapping back before council RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

The contentious issue of trapping could be back on Vernon’s agenda again. Coun. Catherine Lord has notified her colleagues that she wants them to consider asking staff to review policies around hunting and trapping. “There’s bow hunting going on in city limits and that’s raising concern for some people,” she said. The city was lobbied last year to ban trapping of wildlife in Vernon. In the end, council decided that the matter was a provincial jurisdiction and it would not get involved. However, Lord says it may be time for the city to reconsider its position. “The province has done away with enforcement. If there is minimal enforcement,

move the line themselves. In fact they knew that it would be dangerous to even get out of their vehicle – therefore they stayed inside. Thankfully a pair of Lumby residents came across the situation and called for help.

BC Hydro crews arrived and discovered that the line was in fact hot. “They are lucky they stayed in their vehicle,” said Molendyk. “It could have turned more serious.” Broken power lines or those knocked down by trees or tree branches can be live, and live wires can kill. According to BC Hydro, any vehicle coming in contact with energized lines should do the following: ■ Stay inside until help arrives. ■ If you are not injured and can safely drive the vehicle without increasing the hazard, drive at least 10 metres or 33 feet clear of the wire. ■ Because so many things can go wrong, exiting the vehicle should be a last resort ■ If you must get out of the vehicle due to an emergency such as a fire, jump out with your feet together. Do not contact the vehicle and the ground

at the same time with any part of your body or clothing. ■ Jumping clear can be very dangerous because it is easy to bridge across a voltage difference. You must land with both feet together and not stumble. ■ Once clear of the vehicle, calmly shuffle away, never allowing the heel of one foot to move beyond the toe of the other. ■ If you cannot shuffle the 10 metres (33 feet) away from the energized area, put your feet together and hop. This is safe as long as you keep your feet together and do not stumble and fall. Stumbling may result in the body straddling across different voltages causing serious or fatal injury. The length of hop doesn’t matter, but short hops are easier to perform. ■ Unless there’s a non-electrical reason to get away quickly, time is not a safety factor.

Falkland policing under fire RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Columbia-Shuswap Regional District directors got a chance to air their beefs about rural policing. Mike Sekela, chief superintendent of the RCMP’s Southeast District, attended a meeting to listen to concerns and answer questions. “You might as well close the office down,” said Falkland director Rene Talbot, noting there are supposed to be three officers assigned to the town’s detachment. “Nobody is ever there.” Long frustrated by a change in police coverage to the area,

“Nobody is ever there.” — Rene Talbot Talbot complained it took police 45 minutes to respond to a fatal motorcycle accident. Talbot also expressed concerns about the effect of the Silver Creek Stomp and Sturgis North on Falkland. “There were hundreds of motorcycles and no police in sight.” Rural Sicamous director Rhona Martin would like to a bigger presence in rural areas. “For many years we’ve been asking for

an increased number of cops,” she said, added she would like officers to socialize and mingle, and get to know area residents – particularly children. Talbot, who is a Falkland resident, agreed, pointing out that RCMP members used to go into schools and take their coffee breaks in town where they could interact with residents. “Now they come in, they do what they need

to do and they’re gone again,” he said. “When people don’t know cops, information does not flow. People miss not seeing and not knowing the cops in our area.” In response to the request for increased resources, Sekela said resourcing is based on a number of factors, including geography of an area, size, on-call hours and calls for service. He promised to share the results of a rural policing study currently underway. “There are ways to increase resources and I am looking at that in terms of regional districts,” said Sekela. “Some are look-

Pat Cochrane. “I’m just wondering whose responsibility it is to light a fire under the consultants?”

ICBC not all that bad

W

hen it comes to dealing with ICBC, or any insurance company for that matter, there are a lot of horror stories out there. You get in an accident, perhaps there are injuries involved, maybe your vehicle needs costly repairs or is a complete write-off. Whatever the case is, this already stressful incident can be complicated by dealings with ICBC. Not to say this is always the case (as you will later discover through my own dealings). Many drivers have either personally, or know a few people who have, been in a dispute with the crown corporation. Jennifer Smith Despite the fact that we – drivers – are paying costly insurance fees each month, which in turn help pay the wages of those employed by the giant corporation, there is a perception out there that ICBC adjusters are less than concerned with our best interests. Then there’s the whole rate debate, but I won’t get into that. It’s unfortunate that this critically important organization has apparently such a bad reputation. The fact is, all of us who drive are required to have insurance. And when it comes to the bulk of our insurance costs (who can shop around for better rates on a portion of your insurance) there is only one place to turn – ICBC. Despite all the tales of ICBC trouble, I have personally never had any raw dealings with them. I thought that was about to change following an accident my husband recently had with my truck. But as it turned out, ICBC proved their

AT RANDOM

reputation wrong and my fear of dealing with them was unjustified by bad rumours. And I’m thankful for that (even more thankful that no one was seriously injured in the accident, although my husband may have a long road ahead of him following a torn ligament). I’ll admit, I was more than a little petrified as I called in my first major claim – anticipating a year-long battle just to get the truck back on the road. And perhaps the ease was compounded by the fact that there were no other vehicles involved, no one was seriously injured, and there are no fingers to point – except maybe one to Mother Nature for an unkind storm that caused some greasy back road conditions. So I was quite relieved when I picked up the phone last weekend, hands trembling with anxiety over the whole incident, to hear a kind, considerate and, dare-I-say, caring, voice on the ICBC end. It was not at all the monstrous experience I had envisioned. The lady on the phone was not only sympathetic to our situation, but kept me calm and collected as I gave her the details of the unfortunate event (which was the icing on the cake to an unfortunate few weeks of ‘bad luck.’) The adjuster has been helpful and accommodating, not only with us, but the superb repair man who has agreed to take on the estimated $13,000 job. All in all, a very stressful situation dealing with a banged-up truck, and husband, was made smooth and seamless by some great people over at ICBC (knock on wood as nothing’s final yet). So while ICBC has been given a bad reputation over the years, likely from a few soured customers, I’d like to say they’re not all bad. I hope no one else has to go through an accident to find that out, but those who do might also gain a renewed faith in ICBC.

In the days leading up to today’s opening ceremonies for the 2012 Summer Games in London, the international media has been gleefully chronicling the myriad of gaffes and shortcomings that have organizers scrambling and issuing statements of reassurance that all will be well. First it was the weather, cold and rainy then suddenly so hot power lines for a new rail service to the Olympic stadium are melting, resulting in delays and shutdowns. Ah yes, transportation, the eternal Achilles heel of every modern Olympics; if it’s not cabbies protesting on the Tower Bridge, it’s everyday commuters fretting through gridlock to allow Olympic officials free passage along exclusive traffic lanes. There are worries about security, as the private company contracted to make the Games safe underestimated the magnitude of the job, necessitating the deployment of the military. Customs agents are threatening to strike. And nobody is sure how much it will all cost in the end. Sound familiar? Two years ago we were sweating many of those very same issues in the days preceding Vancouver’s Winter Olympics. And no one was more vocal in their criticism than the British media; one paper even girded their readers for “the worst Games ever.” But all of the problems were forgotten as soon as Wayne Gretzky lit the Olympic cauldron at Jack Poole Plaza. Just as they will be when the torch is set ablaze in London. And then we’ll all settle in for two weeks of dazzling athletic competition, compelling human interest stories and national pride. We’ll cheer everyone in red and white, but especially for our local heroes. Black Press

Falkland wants to stay in riding

C

olin Mayes, the community requires you to be our voice. The Federal Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act says you have a voice. Falkland and community wish to remain within the boundary of Okanagan–Shuswap and therefore request that you use your voice to dispose of the "first proposal." Although the Federal Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act says it requires that the population be as close as possible to the provincial average of 104,763, as per the article, does it not also say that the commissions should make every effort to ensure that the population of a district is not more than 25 per cent over the average? That, in this district, would equal approximately 130,953. This actually allows for about 9,900 more than what is currently within the riding as per the article. Is it not also true that in certain circumstances, some districts will possibly be allowed even over the 25 per cent above the average. Pertaining to Falkland remaining withCADETS ARE GREAT On behalf of all of the riders and the organizers of the RBC GranFondo Kelowna, I would like to extend a sincere thank you to the Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre for its outstanding volunteer contribution to the event. The RBC GranFondo Kelowna is a cycling event that is approximately 122 kilometres long and tours riders through Kelowna, Lake Country and Vernon. An event like this requires many volunteers and course marshalls all along the route. The cadet centre really stepped up to support the event and provided 60 members for various volunteer roles. They were integral to the success of the event and their enthusiasm and support were also a welcome addition for the participants. Thank you again to the cadets for their outstanding community spirit.

in Okanagan-Shuswap, this act also says that it allows for showing of respect for communities of interest or identity within the boundary of the electoral district in question. If showing Canadian patriotism with the huge flag on Gyp Mountain is not enough to show a community of interest,

Penny Lidstone Event Manager RBC GranFondo Kelowna TRANSIT TROUBLE I take exception to the editorial concerning our transit system in the July 11 Morning Star. You state that some residents have to find other options to get around while others won't be impacted at all. What other options do you suggest? Last summer, my friends and I spent a number of sunny afternoons with a resident of Vernon Restholm enjoying their garden while we played board games. Two of us took the #5 bus which brought us to the old terminus — just a five-minute walk. Now, this same bus drops us at Canadian Wholesale or we can transfer at the new terminus. Because I am in my 80s with health problems, I have access to the HandyDart, which is great, except you need to reserve it five

days in advance. With unpredictable weather, there is not an option for a garden party. Needless to say, we no longer meet there. Patrick Nicol says, "We will have to look at things over the next few months." This won't help this summer's activities and, as three of us are in our 80s, every summer is a gift. Heck, every day is a gift. Another little gem concerns the library. From the new terminus, it is a four-block walk and then an uphill slope. Vernon is full of seniors using walkers and scooters. How many of them can cope with this? So, if our first instinct is to over-react with "doom and gloom," maybe you should leave your car at home for the next month and thus have a better view of our problems. If you sometimes wonder why

is the main hub for our business, jobs, volunteer work, shopping, medical care and the hospital. Is it not a given that only someone that is looking at a flat map rather than actually traveling the routes to the suggested areas would not realize this. Surely you have travelled this route enough to know that we belong in Okanagan-Shuswap. The Falkland community begins just 15 minutes from Vernon and Armstrong, just after the Round Lake turnoff. As our MP, we look to you as our voice to demolish the first proposal and the idea that Falkland should be separated from Okanagan–Shuswap. Please initiate the second proposal. With respect Colin Mayes, please take a stand in the early planning process to maintain that Falkland remains in the boundary of Okanagan–Shuswap. It is the right thing to do. We are part of and wish to remain within the community of Okanagan– Shuswap. Linda Myers

What a fabulous evening. Kudos to the organizers. I felt like I could have been in any big city at an “A” list event The models were spectacular modelling clothes from 104 Grey and the Big Sun Beachwear. And to all of the behind-the-scenes people, they worked very hard to pull off such an event. To all of the sponsors, the incredible swag bags and the venue were all magical. I have lived in Vernon for the last three years, having moved up from the coast. This community rocks. It was a charity event for the new library and was hosted by Julia and Andrew Allen. Lori Dean

borrow $1.33 million to construct the new facility. Coldstream budgeted for $1.49 million in order to give itself some contingency cushion. To date, estimated construction costs, including consulting fees, are $1.409 million. Consultants are also currently working on a final pre-tender estimate and there could be some additional cost savings. “If anything, cost estimates will likely go down because we’re looking at things we can take out,� said Michael Stamhuis, Coldstream chief administrative officer. “We’ll be going from there and hopefully going to tender fairly soon.� The proposed project will include the demolition of an existing storage shelter, construction of a new maintenance shop, and major site servicing work to accommodate the planned changes. The new facility includes three bays as well as associated storage, office and ancillary spaces. Site development work for the project is extensive and includes the demolition of an existing shed, bulk earthworks and imported fill for the new addition as well as an unpaved parking area.

Jubilee medals issued Morning Star Staff

More North Okanagan residents have been recognized for their community contributions. Colin Mayes, Okanagan-Shuswap MP, recently presented 13 individuals with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal during a reception at Vernon’s Schubert Centre. “The medals are awarded to recognize and celebrate significant achievements and extraordinary contributions Canadians have made for the benefit of their fellow citizens and their country,” said Mayes.

Marcie McLeod (left), Vernon office manager, Luc McLean, Jenna Horsting, and Maribeth Friesen, CEO of Braintrust Canada, celebrate the opening of the new Vernon office at 120-4412 27th St.

BrainTrust opens doors in Vernon Morning Star Staff

A leader in brain injury rehabilitation and prevention has opened an office in Vernon. BrainTrust Canada is a non-profit association that provides community rehabilitation

to people with brain injury in the Okanagan, with offices now in Vernon and Kelowna. “The association provides individualized community support and rehabilitation to maximize independence after brain injury,

and is also dedicated to being a leader in brain injury prevention,” said Vernon’s Randy Wilson, a member of BrainTrust Canada’s board of directors. “They also have a strong focus on youth, who are the highest risk

for injury.” In Vernon, the association has provided support to more than 500 persons with injury since the Okanagan office opened in 2003. In addition to oneto-one community rehabilitation, the association also co-ordinates a number of groups that support both clients and families, including Managing Your Emotion, Substance Use and Brain Injury, Choosing Change (tools to move forward and to cope with injury) and the Caregiver Support Group for families and loved ones. To celebrate the opening of the Vernon office, an open house and barbecue was held recently. Kal Tire and Buy Low Foods donated food, the barbecue and manpower to make the open house a success. For more information, contact Marcie McLeod at 250-3076064 or www.braintrustcanada.com. The office is located at 120-4412-27th St.

The search is on for a building to boast a new mural in town.

Home needed for new mural Morning Star Staff

A new downtown Vernon mural is closer to reality but cash and a building are still needed. The Downtown Vernon Association board is contributing $6,000 to a mural being developed by artist Michelle Loughery. “The mural will have a human rights theme set in the years around the First World War when Ukrainians and other Eastern Europeans designated as enemy aliens were sent to internment camps in Vernon and 23 other Canadian communities,” said Earl Hansen, with the DVA. “While in the camps, these 8,000 or more internees were forced to work on infrastructure projects that contributed to the Canadian economy in both the short and long-term. The camps were closed after the war ended and those who were incarcerated in them were patrolled out to various hard-labour jobs.” Unlike the previous 27 downtown murals, this project would be painted on aluminum panels which would be affixed to the outside of the building housing the mural. Additional funding is still required before the project can proceed. “Those interested in making a donation to the project should contact the DVA,” said Hansen. “One of the early sponsors of the mural project is the Silver Star Rotary Club which is contributing $2,000.” The DVA is also looking for a commercial property owner downtown who would be interested in making a wall available for the mural. For more information, call 250-542-5851.

King courting London Olympics GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff

At the ripe age of 20, Savannah King is already a six-year veteran of the Canadian swim team. The former Vernon Kokanee Swim Club member will add to her international resume when she heads to London to compete in her second Olympic Summer Games. King will swim the 400-metre freestyle on Sunday, and the 800 free on Thursday. “I was really young when I went to Beijing (2008 Summer Games), so I was kind of wide-eyed and just really happy to be there,� said King, who swims varsity with the UBC Thunderbirds in Vancouver. “I’ve grown up a lot since then and have really been training hard the last few years.� After bursting onto the national scene as a 14-year-old sensation, King’s development maxed out as she adjusted to the maturation process every adolescent endures.

Venom claim Junior B box crown GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff

The Kamloops Venom are the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League champions. The Venom clinched their second title in three years with a 15-10 win over the host Vernon Re/Max Tigers in Game 4, eliminating the Cats 3-1 in their best-of-five set Wednesday night at Wesbild Centre. Veteran sniper Riley Donahue powered the Venom offence with five goals and some stellar playmaking ability in front of an estimated 700 fans. “It feels good on my last year,” said Donahue, Venom captain. “I can’t ask for much more. “We beared down. We’ve been running all season for particularly this game and this series. They looked like they died in the last two games here, but they still put up a fight. That’s what we love, and Vernon’s a great team to play against.” The teams swapped goals in a high-tempo first period, with Ethan Anderson, Ryan Landels and Braden Barr tallying for the Tigers. Quinn Smith (2), Donahue and Jamie Forster, on a tremendous shorthanded solo effort, gave Kamloops a 4-3 lead at the break. Special teams were a major factor Wednesday, with the Venom burying three shorties, and three powerplay goals (one was a delayed penalty). Vernon clicked twice on the man advantage. “They just keep running that same system over and over, and eventually they just break through the cracks,” said Tigers’ captain Brett Hanna, of the Venom’s short man.

Mason Limb (right), of the Vernon Tigers, and Jamie Forster, of the Kamloops Venom, scramble for a loose ball in junior lacrosse action Wednesday night at Wesbild Centre. For the second game in a row, the Tigers took a cat nap in the second period, and Kamloops capitalized with unanswered goals by Zach Bruneau, Chris Case and Donahue to start the frame. Blaine Boomer, on a bounce shot, Jimmy Latin, hustling for a shorthanded goal, and Donahue streaking out of the penalty box to score on the fly, made it 10-5 after 40 minutes.

Nolan Frame, catching netminder Mitch Horsman off his post, and speedy Mason Limb, picking the corner on a breakaway, countered for the Cats. “It was a tough loss and Kamloops proved for the second game in a row, if you take any time off or make any errors, they will capitalize on those opportunities,” said Tigers’ head coach Myles

Brumpton. “The last two games, the second period was our Achilles heel. It cost us this series, and ultimately going to provincials. “I am very proud of the young men I coached this season. We started off with an 0-4 record and ended our season by losing to a solid team who should take gold in the provincials.

“The guys showed a lot of heart and a lot of commitment all season long. They took on a beast, and it was a tough challenge.” As if to quash any idea of a Vernon comeback, Kamloops continued their assault with goals nine seconds apart in the first minute of the third period. The Tigers could have rolled over, but instead kept pressing, getting further offence from Jay Seaton, Landels, Midget call-up Liam Drabiuk, Darryl Landels and Limb, on a brilliant end-to-end rush. Donahue, Jerome Thorne and Kyle Pauwels completed the Venom offence. Kamloops’ head coach Doug Clark credited the Tigers for their persistence. “They’re a real hard-working team, well coached and they battled right to the end,” he said. “Nothing but respect for them.” Kamloops’ keeper Mitch Horsman made 32 saves for the win. Josh Point and Tyler Landry combined for 35 stops for Vernon. Landry took over for Point in the third period and was steady in relief. The Tigers were without starting netminder Joel Fruncillo for the playoffs after he broke his thumb late in the regular season. Vernon will lose just one player, Ryan Oliverius, to graduation this year. “This team loses one guy only, and we’ve got kids coming up,” said Brumpton. “This team is a true homegrown team.” The Venom advance to Junior B provincials, Aug. 3-5 at Bear Mountain Arena in Juan de Fuca.

A pair of Vernon golfers made the cut Wednesday after two rounds in the 110th B.C. Amateur Golf Championship at Swan-e-set Bay Resort and Country Club in Pitt Meadows. Zach MacDougall shot a 76 in the second round after opening with a 79, while Bradlee Jones went 82-74 to make the top 70 and ties in the field of 156. Vernon golfers Justin Wurz, at 80-78-158, and Brady Stead, at 82-76160, just failed to make the cut. Victoria’s Kevin Carrigan stretched his lead to two strokes with a 1-under 71 Wednesday. Following an opening round 67, Carrigan started his round 2 with a 3-over-par 39 before turning on the heat for his back nine. He made four birdies on the back, starting on the par 5, 535-yard 10th hole.

McEachran-Law finished at 73-76149, tied with Kelowna’s Steven Lee, at 76-73, five strokes back of champion Lucas Gatto of Burnaby. Bryce McLean of Armstrong, who plays out of Predator Ridge, and Alex Kreutz of Vernon shared 10th spot in the Boys 17-19 division. McLean and Kreutz both carded 82-80.

Controls continue hot streak Morning Star Staff

Turn-Key Controls continued their red-hot play Wednesday night in Salmon Arm by defeating first place and defending champion Courvas FC 2-1 for their fifth straight North Okanagan Soccer League win. Turn-Key opened the scoring in the 10th minute when Conan Ackert used his large frame to find Preston Tucker, who beat Courvas and UBCO Heat keeper Morgan Stanton for his fifth goal in as many games. Jeremy Kler was outstanding in the Turn-Key net, robbing Courvas on two separate occasions to keep the score 1-0 at halftime. The second half saw Turn-Key play a determined defensive effort with Tucker and Evan Moore instrumental in shutting down the potent Courvas attack in the midfield, which features multiple UBCO Heat players. Nolan’s Pharmasave Man of the Match Sam Nolan seemingly won every ball from centre fullback, along with centre back Carson Haywood-Farmer and outside defenders Alex Nolan, Kyle Goodgrove and Bryce Paterson. Second-place Turn-Key added to their lead when Ackert earned and converted his own penalty shot for the 2-0 lead in the 67th minute. Courvas drew within a goal with 20 minutes to play off a converted penalty that Kler originally stopped but couldn’t handle the rebound. Turn-Key held off the Courvas attack the rest of the way, narrowly missing a third goal when Ackert struck the post. Turn-Key moved to 10-4-1, while Courvas dipped to 8-2-1. North Enderby Timber held on to third place, two points back of Turn-Key, with a 2-0 blanking of the Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels FC at Marshall Field #4. The Timber back four of Jobie Waughman, Andrew Stein, Jesse Knight and Tyler Loose was formidable all night as keeper Daniel Stein read Carpentry Central magazine for the shutout. Brent Poulsen supplied the winner late in the first half when he took a feed from Graham Ross near centre, used a few creative touches and blistered a drive, top right corner. Colby Buckham added an

Much like the weather, Vernon BMX Club riders stormed Grand Forks last weekend for the final B.C. series qualifier. Racing was cancelled Friday night when a strong windstorm blew two large trees onto the track. The debris was cleared in time for Sunday qualifiers to go ahead. Competing in the largest group of the weekend, five-year-old Travis Hurren took fifth place. His big brother Travis, racing in the eightyear-old class, was fifth as well. Another brother tandem, Cody and Noah Wessels, ranked third and fourth respectively in the 9 Intermediate class. Faith Riddick secured silver in the 11 Girl division, and Jaydon Riddick placed fourth in the 13-year-old class. Nathan Sewell, eight, racing in his first out-of-town event, captured third place. Brothers Cade, 11, and Korbin Davies, eight, finished first and second respectively in their age groups. The father-son duo of Doug (men’s 41-45 Cruiser) and Nathan Martin (15 Expert) claimed third and second respectively in their groups. Nathan recovered from a bad crash in warmup to earn his result. Jennifer Bitz struck silver in the women’s cruiser class, Jeremy Deschamps won his cruiser class, and added bronze in the 13 Boys division. Roger Tepper uncovered silver in his division, Elijah Riley recorded bronze in the 6 Novice class, Travis Sargent took second in the 13 Novice group, and Cam Jones was second in the 13 Intermediate. The Vernon BMX Club is hosting the B.C. Finals on Sunday, Aug. 26.

Inspiring halftime words from Camels’ founder Bruce Townsend did little to help the orange side in the second half.

Blazers earn draw Dr. Lee hang on for tie with Glenn Power Morning Star Staff

KEVIN MITCHELL/MORNING STAR

Carissa Stanek (left) of the AF Blazers controls the ball in front of NET’s Janessa Neufeld in first division women’s soccer play Tuesday night at Marshall Field #1.

The AF Blazers hardly resembled a winless team as they took on the second-place North Enderby Timber Celtic Tuesday night at Marshall Field #1. The Blazers relied on a solid team effort as they earned a 1-1 draw in a fast-paced North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 1 match. The Blazers (0-8-3) owned a slight edge in play in the first half before the Celtics (4-4-4) found their groove in the final 40 minutes. In the first half, Blazers wingers Krista Ference and newlywed Carissa Stanek (Morneau) worked tirelessly to get quality crosses in the 18 for strikers Marjorie Boisvert and Kailee Streichert, who put excellent pressure on the Celtics keeper. In the 60th minute, Boisvert scored the Blazers lone goal knocking in her fourth of the season., getting a knee on a dynamite, hard cross from the right corner by Shantell Hayhurst. Speedster Jackie Morneau equalized shortly after on a great through ball from Ashley Krause. Morneau used her always dangerous speed to blow by the defenders and sneak the ball in off the post. Keeper Katie Hatten was phenomenal in her first game back in net for the Blazers after having ankle surgery in May. Midfielders Bettina Berger and Becky Dodds, along with defenders Amber Maltman and Jeanette

Maleska, did an excellent job of shutting down the Celtics attack which was led by slick Paige Doherty. In other first division play, Dr. Lee Dental Clinic drew 2-2 with Glenn Power of Salmon Arm at Marshall Field #5. Jacquie Hansen opened the scoring eight minutes in from an Irene Arrotta corner, and Margo Fleming made it 2-0 five minutes into the second half. Dr. Lee survived a late flurry from Glenn Power to remain undefeated at 11-0-2. It was a well played, well refereed game which went back and forth.

Rosters run over Drillers 3-1 In Masters Division play Tuesday night, Rosters grounded Goplen Drillers 3-1 at Marshall #3. Starting the game with 10 players, the 3-10-1 Drillers had some early chances, but were unable to convert. Renee Cooke, Tania Mund and Peggy Warnes supplied offence for 5-6-3 Rosters. The Drillers clicked in the second half when wing half Geri O’Brien made a great run up the line and placed a perfect cross in to striker Michelle Connolly, who easily tapped it home for her first goal of the season. Maura McCarthy put on many miles for the Drillers, playing in several different positions throughout the game. All the Drillers worked hard and matched up to the physical play of Rosters. The league-leading Chick Kickers ambushed the second-year Season’s Sista’s 11-0 at Marshall #2. The 0-13-1 Sista’s showed great sportsmanship and effort against the 12-1-1 Chicks who have been in great form lately. Wendy Magnus netted her first-ever goal on a great header from a Kelly Challen cross, while Wendy Martens, Shauna Stenquist, Crystal Bergman and Challen each supplied a deuce. Other singles came from Colline Johnson and Michelle Johnson.

The Controllers produced four goals in the first half and cruised to a 5-0 win over Shuswap Kaos at Marshall #4. Ang Durfeld took Michelle Mercer’s cross and laid it off to striker Emma Louis, who ripped a 20 yarder for the first tally. Jody Pope then sent Jenn Spitzer away andSpitzer put an outside-in move on a Kaos defender before sending a rocket over the keeper for the prettiest goal of the night. Sena Bishop set up Leslie Epp minutes later, Epp’s low drive was too much to handle for the Kaos keeper. Michele Wernicke’s corner was headed on by Felicia O’Gorman to Durfeld, who headed the ball over the defender just inside the post to put the Controllers up by four at the half. Midfielder Krista Copeland played a great game scoring her first of the season as she pounded home a penalty kick for the only goal of the second half. Great play was turned in by the backline of Jenny Currie, Jody Pope, Bishop, and Epp which gave keeper Mickey Templeton time to read Entertainment Weekly for the shutout. Midfielders Wernicke, whose dangerous corner-kicks gave Kaos fits all night, and Michelle Mercer, also enjoyed strong games. The Controllers improved to 9-3-2, good for a share of third spotwith the idle Longhorn Impact. The Kaos dipped to 1-9-3.

The Canadians warmed up for the Zone playdowns by going 1-1-1 at a Kamloops tournament at McArthur Island Sports Centre. Vernon tied the Cubs 6-6 in their last game Sunday, with Soucy striking out five batters over four innings while making some stellar defensive plays. Vardon singled in Anderson, Orchard doubled in Soucy, Soucy doubled in Vardon, Dex Elders stole home just under the tag and Moss knocked in Soucy before stealing third and scoring on a Wellman single, to handle the Vernon offence. The C’s exploded for a 17-6 victory over West Kelowna with Vardon driving in three runs with a double and a single. Foufoulas, Elders, Soucy and Becker also had early ribbies, while Sawka sparkled defensively at second base and Moss mowed down three batters. In the third, Anderson smoked one to left field to score Orchard and Wellman stole home on an overthrow to third. Anderson swiped home on a passed ball and Porteous stole home on an infield error. Anderson was stellar on the mound in the fourth striking out two batters. Elders made a big throw to Sawka at second base to stop the lead West Kelowna runner for the out. Moss found a hole over the shortstop for a single in the bottom of the fourth and eventually stole home. Porteous was superb at short in the fifth, making a throw to a stretched out Soucy at first for an out

and snagging a ripper for the third out. Vernon bowed 12-11 to the Braves in their Saturday opener, with Porteous striking out four batters over two innings work and driving in a run. Orchard made a great throw from home to Moss at third base for an early out, while Soucy cranked a monster drive down the third base line. The Canadians rallied in the fifth, with Anderson, Wellman, Sawka and Elders scoring. Foufoulas supplied solid base running to tie the game 11-11 in a two-out rally. The game ended due to time limit rules. The Vernon Mosquito AA Selects swept a pair of games, grounding host Rutland Rockies 13-7 Sunday after clipping the West Kelowna Diamondbacks 4-3 Saturday at Lakeview Park. Vernon, coached by Mark Batchelor, Gus Morris and Achim Colmorgen, got a spectacular catch by Lincoln Connor for the third out at first early in the game versus Rutland. Connor and Christopher McIntosh each drove in three runs, while Carter Morris swiped two bases and collected two ribbies and Braden Beacom smacked a run-scoring double. Jackson Soucy, Ryan Gamage and Landon Harison each had one RBI. Batchelor threw to McIntosh to tag out a runner at second base, Maguire Lauridsen recorded an amazing diving catch on a fly to centrefield, in the second inning. Lauridsen walked, then swiped second and third before going home on a wild pitch. In Saturday’s win over West Kelowna, the Canadians got strong pitching from starter Gamage and middle relievers Lauridsen and Chase Batchelor. Lauridsen made another awesome catch in centre field, while Gamage needed just six pitches to finish the second inning, making one sweet out on a throw to Carter at first. Gamage struck out two in the third before giving the ball to McIntosh. Caden Colmorgen singled in McIntosh in the bottom of the third. McIntosh ran down a bunt in the fourth and made the throw to Batchelor covering first for the out. Another bunt was picked up by Morris making the throw to Batchelor at first for the out. McIntosh struck out the third batter. In the fifth, McIntosh earned one strikeout before Batchelor took over. Trailing by a run, Vernon got a double from Morris who then scored on a single by McIntosh. Lauridsen doubled in McIntosh for the winning run. Morris knocked down a line drive at first and threw to Gamage for one out, while Batchelor fanned two batters to end the game.

Anyone who’s driven from Vernon to Enderby or vice versa knows about the Log Barn 1912, and has likely stopped there. Historically, the popular stop has remained closed on Sundays but recently decided to open its doors for the summer to donate all proceeds to local charities. On Sunday, the Log Barn 1912 will be hosting a ceremony to present its first cheque from the Honouring Tradition: Sunday Sales Program to KidSport, a charity that helps kids with the cost of sports. Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky and Spallumcheen Mayor Janice Brown will be part of the presentation at 10:30 a.m. The KidSport program was chosen first because of its importance to youth. Eric Clark, coowner of the Log Barn 1912, acknowledges the long-term benefits from sports. “A lot of their socialization comes from sports and a lot of their social development comes from team sports,” he said.

Bunch grass transformed into orchards

B

y 1895, the generation of ranchers who had settled on the bunch grass ranges of the Okanagan Valley were reaching old age. Those who had settled during the 1860s and had remained on their land had been

able to accumulate extensive land holdings. They purchased unoccupied Crown land and bought up neighbouring lands from other settlers who had not been able to survive during the difficult times of the 1870s. By that time, there

was a rush to settle the land. After the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the most desirable lands were in the hands of these few ranchers. These ranchers were in no hurry to dispose of their lands, in spite of the pressure from

local and provincial government and from the media. But circumstances were changing and it was not long before the effects would be felt. With the completion of the Shuswap and Okanagan Railway to Vernon and Okanagan

Landing in 1892, the Okanagan Valley became prime territory for development of small orchard holdings. The ranchers at first held out, hoping that the price of beef would improve and justify their large holdings. But, by the early years

Congratulations!

Parking creates congestion on Oyama roads BOBBISUE MENARD Black Press

301 athletes and 61 coaches from the Thompson-Okanagan (Zone 2) competed at the 2012 BC Summer Games. Thank you to the coaches, officials, volunteers, and families who support these growing champions. See photos, videos and results at www.bcgames.org

The popularity of Wood and Kalamalka lakes with boaters is increasing pressure on the available parking in Oyama. It is a problem the District of Lake Country has taken steps to mitigate, says Coun. Owen Dickie, but choices to deal with the problem are limited by the amount of overall space available for parking. Dickie recently brought up the problem of parking at Crystal Waters Road on the west side of Kalamalka Lake. In an attempt to control Owen Dickie parking of pickup trucks and boat trailers, an encroachment permit was issued to Klub Kalamalka, giving permission to use part of the road within certain guidelines. The guidelines include signage, roping off the area, and that all trailer wheels must be blocked while parked. The permit area is seven meters wide by 85 meters long. Dickie said district staff regularly patrol the area and find trailers and Klub Kalamalka to be in compliance with the terms and conditions. Now the problem has shifted, said Dickie, and motorized vehicles are legally parking along both sides of the road, which is creating a very narrow access. “I suppose we could look at signage for parking on only one side of the road, but parking is a concern everywhere.” The other flash point for parking concerns in Oyama is the larger boat launch on the north east corner of Wood Lake. There simply isn’t enough space for people to come and go easily when the parking gets crowded. The district is incredibly limited in what it can do at the launch, said Dickie, as the land is owned by the railway. “Possibly the district could be doing something there, but no one is certain what that would be.” Right now, the hope is that people will work to be kind and civil to each other. Although occasionally in the hot weather, Dickie said there have been reports of that not always being the case. “As more and more people go out on the lakes, parking will continue to be an issue.”

There’s some big smiles at the Vernon Boys and Girls Club. The Home Depot Canada Foundation and Home Depot Vernon have donated $6,142 to the Boys and Girls Club for community initiatives. “What makes this community contribution most meaningful is that it came from the generous donations of customers who purchased a paper hammer for $2 as part of the Buy a Hammer, Build Our Community campaign, “said Peg Hunter, foundation chairperson. This grant complements funds already provided to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada through the Home Depot Canada Foundation’s national partnership.

Car lovers and hobbyists alike will be cruising the North Okanagan Saturday in support of the Mothers Against Drunk Driving, Central Okanagan Chapter. The event is organized by Wanda Olsen-Saunders and her husband. “We wanted to do something that’s really important and something that’s really important for people with cars,” said Olsen-Saunders. The cruise begins at Westwood Retirement Resort (2505 Ingram Rd., Westbank) at 8:30 a.m., where Westwood is providing breakfast by donation to registered cruising participants. Cruisers will stop for lunch at the Village Cheese Factory in Armstrong and take a free tour of the facility.

The route is approximately 192 kilometres long. Cruisers will leave Westbank at 9:10 a.m., stopping at four check points along the route, where cruisers have a chance to win fantastic prizes. Other stops include Hillbilly Haven and Redline Cycle & Auto for prize draws. The cruise wraps up with a car show at the A&W on Lakeshore Road in Kelowna. “Anyone can come on the cruise, you don’t have to own a classic car either, we just want to get anyone and everyone involved,” said OlsenSaunders. For more information or if you would like to register, contact OlsenSaunders at 250-707-1666 or wicked@telus.net

BY KRISTIN FRONEMAN

Morning Star Staff

Canadian chanteuse Leslie Feist sings about how the circle married the line on her latest album, Metals, but Armstrong artist Alistair Rance has his own story on how his recent paintings started taking shape. And it all started as seamless lines drawn by the hand of a three-year-old. “The paintings I have done are all in free hand, eight all together. I call them the Everett Series Alistair Rance after my son,� said Rance, who is about to show his work in a solo exhibition at the Vernon Public Art Gallery. As someone who has been immersed in study the past few years, and who has four children, Rance says his main objective with his art nowadays is to have fun. He likes to work fast, using repetitive forms that are mostly geometrical. An architectural and fine arts graduate, who received his bachelor of fine arts at UBC Okanagan and his masters at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University in Halifax, and just attended UBC for its Masters of Architecture Program, Rance has always been interested in design, using straight-edged shapes to create his drawings. “My high school dream was to be an architect,� he said. “My dad was a master painter, and I ended up working with him for eight years and when he retired, I took over the business. It was not as creative as I would have liked it to be, so I went back to school when I was 30 and did well on my bachelor’s. I was married with three kids when I started and had four kids by the time I finished.� At the end of completing his degree, Rance says he started working with repetition of a single form in his artwork. “I gravitated towards painting. I like sculpture and building with my hands, but I became more literal with my expression. With painting, I had more freedom to express myself.� Rance began drawing rectangles and squares in free hand using a lot of right angle lines, however, as time went on he wanted to break away from the rectangle/square, and was looking forward for something to do quickly.

PHOTOS SUBMITTED

The Everett Series, opening Thursday at the Vernon Public Art Gallery, is a series of paintings by artist Alistair Rance, inspired by his youngest son, Everett. It was while spending time with his youngest son, Everett, that the catalyst hit him. “We were sitting at the computer together, with Microsoft Paint open. He pulled the mouse and whipped it back and forth and drew these lines,� said Rance. “In the drawing we did together, and looking over the lines, I understood that this could be done quickly, with lines over lines.� Rance applied a similar technique by pouring paint in linear formation on giant canvasses, creating colourful and textural paintings that have a three-dimensional appearance. “I like paint as a material,� he said. “I like the texture of paint, the sculptural elements.� Working in a small studio at his Armstrong

NOBODY BEATS AARON’S PRICES ‌

residence, Rance used the floor as his easel, pouring the paint straight down onto the canvas. “I whip my hand across the canvas so that I can work quickly,� he said. “The paint finds its own place. It oozes and settles down. It has the freedom to do its own thing. It’s not 100 per cent in control. That’s why I don’t work with a brush. Pouring helps me let go of the paint. It’s a bit of a release.� Rance has also encouraged people to touch his paintings, as he did when Vernon Public Art Gallery curator Lubos Culen visited his studio. (It was after Rance sent Culen some digital drawings more than a year ago that the idea to show the Everett Series at the art gallery began.)

NOBODY!

“Because my paintings are so textured to come across, I enjoy touching them... They are so lumpy and bumpy.� Rance’s Everett Series opens at the VPAG on Aug. 2. Also opening is the work of Okanagan First Nation artist David Wilson in the exhibition, We Are the People of the Heart, Marlene McPherson’s Okanagan Dream Series, and Creekside Landing Retirement Home Artists’ Featuring Vernon. All are welcome to attend the opening reception on Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. The exhibitions continue at the gallery until Oct. 22.

Band taps into Southern rock heritage The Tedeschi Trucks Band: Live: Everybody’s Talkin’

T

he Southern rock heritage that spawned The Allman Brothers Band and Bonnie and Delaney skips a few decades and zones into the Tedeschi Trucks Band on their first live recording, Live: Everybody’s Talkin’. This is a logical path considering that guitarist Derek Trucks

is an alumnus of both a horn-enhanced The Allman Brothers expanded version of and Eric Clapton’s the Allman Brothers’ touring classic lineband and up – two singer/guidrummers tarist Susan and all. Tedeschi has Whew! the bluesy The flanglamour nel clad and husky Trucks cuts voice associan unimposated with ing figure but Dean Gordon-Smith that’s part of Southern belters.

STREET SOUNDS

the roadhouse to the church. Tedeschi is a perfect foil, her voice as tasteful and soulful as Trucks’ Gibson SG. She restrains her phrasing and her use of space brings power to her lines. The TTB shrinks the concert halls of Toronto, Washington, D.C. and Bridgeport, Conn. down to size. They keep themselves as casual as if they could be at any blues gig. They’re tight but loose and they understand the value of

context — on the two CDs they stretch way out but you’d never notice it when they move from an improvisational whisper to a barroom roar within bars. Some songs run on to 16 minutes; free jazz on Nobody’s Free, big band excursions on Learn How to Love

and an urban uptown version of Stevie Wonder’s ‘60s anthem, Uptight. The duo of Tedeschi and Trucks lead the large ensemble without taking over; it’s a symbiosis that’s a rare example of give and take, and the shine is blinding. The tent revival

vibe runs through the show like the Mississippi in all the long-running tracks, giving a sense of controlled chaos and jubilation. They bring up the mud on an eerie version of Wade in the Water that reaches up before they close up the tent. Sanctified.

John Lent inspires poetry winner Morning Star Staff

A Winnipeg writer has become the inaugural winner of the Kalamalka Press John Lent Poetry-Prose Award. Ariel Gordon received the award for her manuscript How to Make a Collage. “The winning selection fearlessly wrestles the complexities of human relationships using emotionally dynamic lines and metaphors,� wrote the judges, Okanagan College English professors Laisha Rosnau, Jake Kennedy and Kevin McPherson. Gordon’s collection of poetry was selected from 36 manuscripts. Honourable mentions went to Kathleen Brown (Documenting the Brink) and Claire Caldwell (Osteogenesis) for their submissions that demonstrate “haunting/ halting imagery and profound attention to sound.� The award is named after retired Okanagan College Regional Dean and English profes-

sor John Lent, who co-founded Kalamalka Press. And it was Lent’s name, in part, that drew Gordon to enter the contest. “Three things were highly intriguing to me about this contest,� Gordon wrote on her blog Jane Day Reader when she heard the good news this week. “John Lent not only had a very interesting career, but is also very generous to new writers, including me from the few times we’ve met.� Gordon, who works as promotional/editorial assistant at the University of Manitoba Press, said there were other connections as well. Kalamalka Press recently published Flight Calls by her close friend, writer Brenda Schmidt, and perhaps I should by Peter Midgley, with whom Gordon shared the stage at a recent reading in Winnipeg. “Winning this prize seems like a convergence of all these different parts of my writing

life,� said Gordon from her Winnipeg office. “But first and foremost, it’s an honour to be published with the press John founded, and, specifically, under the aegis of a prize named after him.� Now with the award in hand, she’s even more thrilled to learn the chapbook – her fourth – will be letterpressed by Jason Dewinetz, another English professor with Okanagan College. “He’s brilliant,� she said. “I followed his Greenboathouse Books for years. He has such a fine eye for design so I’m greatly looking forward to what he and his students do with this text.� Gordon will also receive a $100 honorarium as part of the award. Her chapbook will be published in the coming academic year. Gordon was the 2010 recipient of the John Hirsch Award for Most Promising Manitoba Writer and the 2011 Aqua Books Lansdowne Prize for Poetry / Le

Prix Lansdowne du poesie for her first collection of poetry, Hump (Palimpsest Press, 2010). More recently, three of her poems have recently been selected for an upcoming ecopoetry anthology called Entanglements, to be published this fall by Scotland’s Two Ravens Press. Over the years, Kalamalka Press books have been short-listed and nominated for numerous regional and national awards, including the Pat Lowther Award. The press has also been instrumental in launching the significant careers of Karen Connelly, Nancy Holmes, Sue Wheeler, and Dona Sturmanis.

Wayne has been hiding out in his mansion and the Batman has apparently retired, a new baddy arrives in Gotham which both Wayne and his alter ego must confront, Bane. Joined by Commissioner Gordon, Catwoman and an enterprising young detective, Batman has to thwart an army of bad guys toting a nuclear weapon. Fighting infamy, injury and old age, can the caped crusader survive this last incarnation? We say, “You pretty much have to see this one, don’t you?” HOWE: Oh, Batman. You’re my alltime favourite superhero and you bring me this pile of guano. Disappointed is a huge understatement of how I felt after watching this. I know I’ll get slagged off, people won’t agree, but it felt slow, boring and predictable. I thought the best was to be saved for last, not this time. TAYLOR: I didn’t think it sucked, and I wasn’t disappointed because I had rather low hopes, not being a big fan of the series.

RON PHILLIPS

Anne Hathaway stars as Catwoman in director Christopher Nolan’s action thriller The Dark Knight Rises. (It’s not so much that the movies are bad, just that they’re rather unremarkable, considering the talent involved.) However, it’s way too long and way too loud and I don’t really give a damn about it. HOWE: The film looked beautiful, overall. I do like that Christopher Nolan doesn’t use CGI. The opening scene with the planes flying over the mountain range is fantastic and if he used special effects, I don’t think it would have looked or felt real. TAYLOR: Nolan is a very talented director

and I, too, like that he know, I was too busy does things the oldtrying to decipher what fashioned way. As films Bane was saying. If go, there were very few your bad guy is wearnoticeable errors in the ing a mask, just get movie, but James Earl then there Jones to voice are other it for you. At things that least you can have bugged understand me about the what he’s sayDark Knight ing. series from TAYLOR: day one: There was Batvoice, for some good Taylor & Howe acting in instance. I can accept the film. that Batman has to Christian Bale seemed have a different voice old and tired, Alfred than Bruce Wayne, (Michael Caine,) was but does it have to be the ever-doting uncle indecipherable? “Sorry figure, but I don’t think Batman, what was people are going to that?” Dark Knight movies HOWE: I don’t for the acting. At the

REEL REVIEWS

end of the film, I got to hear the sound of one man clapping, which pretty much sums up the experience. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not bad; it just made my ears and butt hurt. It was a bit of a letdown and perhaps over-indulgent. HOWE: I suppose I will still buy a copy of it to finish off my Bat collection. Howe gives The Dark Knight Rises 2 Catwoman’s heels out of 5. Taylor gives it 3 Baterangs out of 5. The feature is currently showing at Galaxy Cinema in Vernon.

The exam covers a wide range of genres from Baroque to modern and includes opera, oratorio and art songs in many languages. “I don’t intend to quit my day job, though,” said Parmenter. “I do want to teach singing some day and this is a step in that direction.

Gerri Pronovost with Spike (above left), Diann Boyd with Lola and Sandy McMurray with Buttons take part in the Purina Walk for Dog Guides. Cathy Cusmano (above right) with her guide dog Haven and Gail Fifer with guide dog Tyrell participate in the second annual walk.

Walking the dogs for a cause Morning Star Staff

Dogs and their owners turned out in force recently as the Enderby Lions Club held its second annual Purina Walk for Dog Guides. Angela Killen, with the club, said the event was a resounding success. “We had a beautiful day with 31 registered participants as well as many more walkers just out for a stroll and to see what was happening,” she said. “This is a 30 per cent increase over last year. “ Also on the increase this year was the amount of money that was donated to the Lions Foundation of Canada for the training of dog guides, a total of $7171.22. “Cpl. Richard and the RCMP canine unit were a big hit, with the stands full for

his demonstration and photo shoot. And it was a privilege and great pleasure to have Gail and Tyrell and Cathy and Haven with us this year. And new this year was the barbecue which was enjoyed by all.” Killen sends a kennel full of thanks to everyone who participated, and a heartfelt thank you to the volunteers who helped to organize the Purina Walk for Dog Guides. “They say it take a village to raise a child. Well it also takes a community to put on an event like this. Many thanks to everyone. Mark May 26, 2013 on your calendars and we look forward to seeing you next year.” The Lions Foundation of Canada and its founding program, Canine Vision Canada, was established in 1985, and has grown to include four other dog guide

programs: hearing ear, special skills, seizure response, and autism assistance. The foundation’s mission is to assist Canadians with a medical or physical disability by providing them dog guides at no cost. To do this, the foundation operates Dog Guides Canada, a national training school and charity that assists individuals with disabilities through five specialized dog guide programs. The dogs are provided at no cost to eligible Canadians from coast to coast. The foundation relies on donations and does not receive government funding. Now the largest school of its kind in Canada, Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides has two training facilities in Ontario, both of which serve Canadians across the country.

Local volunteers urgently needed to handle demand Morning Star Staff

Volunteers are a treasured resource that allow the Alzheimer Society of B.C. to provide a range of free services for families dealing with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Volunteers help the society with everything from making phone calls to caregivers to facilitating support groups. “They are absolutely invaluable to our team and are a big reason why we are able to meet the growing need for support and education for families living with demen-

tia,” says Michelle Hallgren, the society’s regional support and education coordinator for the North and Central Okanagan. An estimated one in 11 B.C. residents over age 65 already live with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. And that number is projected to double over the next generation. With the need for assistance soaring, help from volunteers is critical for the non-profit organization. The need locally right now is for volunteers who can facilitate local support

groups that meet each month. The groups are based on the philosophy that people with similar issues can offer support to others on the same journey. The objective is to strengthen the coping abilities of caregivers and people with early symptoms of dementia, and reduce the impact of dementia on the community. Training is provided, and a one-year commitment is required. For more information, contact Hallgren at 250-860-0305, toll-free 1-800-634-3399 or mhallgren@ alzheimerbc.org.

tive people without raising any fuss? — Wigged Out in the U.S.A. Dear Wigged Out: What colossal nerve. Even if your wig is more obvious than you think, it does not excuse such terrible behavior. We know you don’t want to disclose your hair loss, but it might be quite liberating and certainly would put an end to the anxiety you are experiencing over discovery. Until then, however, feel free to respond to these idiots with wide eyes and a shocked expression, saying, “I’m sure you didn’t intend to be so rude.� Then walk away. Dear Annie: My son is getting married, and my husband and I are paying for the rehearsal dinner. My mother is adamant that all out-oftown guests be invited. My son and his fiancee prefer to keep the guest list to the wedding party, parents and grandparents. Otherwise it risks becoming too large. And if we include out-of-towners from our side, we also have to include those from the bride’s side. Is it normal protocol

to invite out-of-town guests to the rehearsal dinner? Could we invite only some of them? — Rehearsal Blues Dear Blues: If there are large numbers of out-of-town guests, you do not need to invite them to the rehearsal dinner, although you should provide some type of refreshment when they arrive, either in their hotel rooms or by way of a hospitality suite. If there are people traveling a great distance who are special to the family, you may invite them individually, but we don’t recommend including most of the groom’s side and none of the bride’s. Dear Annie: As for egregious etiquette errors, how’s this one? At the end of a wedding shower, a guest who had brought no gift stood up and said, “I am giving a special gift to the bride: She doesn’t need to send anyone here a thank-you note.� And we never received any acknowledgement for our generous gift. — Miffed Guest Dear Miffed: How charming. A smart bride would have ignored that “gift.�

Walter used to eat frozen dinners alone ‌ Now he enjoys a varied menu and great company. Mealtime was mostly a chore for Walter. Living alone, he would simply choose what was easiest to prepare and eat in front of the TV. Nutrition was rarely a consideration.

At Chartwell, the chef changes the menu daily, so Walter not only gets to choose from a variety of balanced meals, but he enjoys them with a side dish of laughter and conversation.

THANKS FOR THE DANCE

Seniors Information and Resource Bureau

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Helen Sidney receives a certificate of appreciation as a thank you for her 21 years of participation and contribution in promotion of pattern dance in the Vernon area. She has been the secretary-treasurer of the Halina Pattern Dance Club for many years and is currently the club’s dance instructor. On behalf of her friends and fellow members, the presentation was made by club president Gordon Isaac and dance coordinator Gerry Turgeon.

The dangers of ‘Dr. Google’

T

here is a new syndrome. Cyberchondria. You probably have it if you rely on “Googling” your aches and pains constantly, instead of seeking a trusted and trained human being. First coined in the 1990s, cyberchondria results from otherwise rationale Internet users who present their symptoms to “Dr. Google.” They then latch onto the worst (and usually) wrong diagnosis. This is a web-related, Internet -induced hypochondria. People today think they are one click away from health advice. It’s all too easy to consult Dr. Google when you are sore and sick. But there can be a danger in relying on web surfing your way to health. There is a time. And a place. But self-diagnosis through the Internet can be problematic for a few reasons. Firstly, you may not be translating your symptoms the same way a professional would. This means you may type in some words and descriptions that may not be accurate wording. You may leave important key words out. Your results

will be skewed. Your an answer to settle you, answers not accurate. If start with “Health on you type in “two swolthe Net” or HON.

educational tool. There needs to be a balance. Self-screen, not selfdiagnose. Self-educate, but don’t self treat. In summary, the relationship between a medical professional should not become obsolete. The Internet should not substitute a trained medical person. It should not replace a face-to-face conversation and examination. Old-fashioned looking, listening and touching cannot become a lost art. The physical exam given by a doctor, nurse, physiotherapist, massage therapist, chiropractor, naturopath cannot waste away to the Internet. It is already challenged in an era of CT, Ultrasound, MRI,

and countless lab tests. Nothing should replace the human questions from a medical person as they hunt and delve into your health issue to establish the problem. Nothing should replace the “hands on “exam where one can “feel” where the knee is tender and warm.” See “that it is red and swollen, and discern clues from the look on the patient’s face as the knee joint is bent and twisted around. These are things your laptop cannot do. There is no “app” for this! No one can deny the intangible effect of a medical professional who expertly and compassionately palpates, observes and listens to the body’s whispers.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’re a better than average negotiator, so don’t hesitate to do some haggling if you are displeased with an arrangement that you have with another. The terms aren’t carved in stone. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) If you know there are certain things that can be done that will help advance your financial health, by all means do them. It does no good to postpone action once again. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Do your own thing, because you’ll perform best in situations where you have the freedom to act in an independent manner. If you must mingle with others, be a leader, not a follower. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Something is going on behind the scenes that will end up benefiting you when it is fully disclosed. You might get your first inkling of it today. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If at all possible, try to devote as much time as you can to a new endeavor that has recently captured your fancy. Chances are it will turn out to be lucky for you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Don’t waste your time on goals of small significance. Instead, focus your efforts on an objective that could result in a major accomplishment once you put your mind to it. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You might even surprise yourself as to how well you fare when you have total faith in what you want

to accomplish. With this mindset, don’t squander your energy on small potatoes. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Even if you aren’t the one to initiate a wonderful opportunity to do something important with your friends, your participation in it will help make the endeavor a great success. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Dealing with others on a one-on-one basis is something that comes naturally to you. Seek out just such an encounter if an important matter needs to be discussed. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Free time won’t be an issue for you, and that’s as it should be. With a plate full of things that need tending, your only problem is which to do first. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Taking some time to smell the roses would be a rewarding choice for you. Spend a few hours resting in a way that will benefit you both mentally and physically.

HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

News SPALLUMCHEEN CELEBRATES

ROGER KNOX/MORNING STAR

As part of Spallumcheen’s 120th birthday celebrations, Coun. Rachael Ganson (above right) presents $5,000 to Hullcar Hall Society members David Doran and Sherri Farris for a Sept. 29 breakfast at the hall. Ganson also presents $5,000 to Margreet Denoudsten, of the Armstrong Farmers Market, for an old-time market Aug. 12. ADVERTISEMENT

LeafSource Stops Pain Within Days! “It works! I’ll take another two bottles please!”

ROGER KNOX/MORNING STAR

To mark Spallumcheen’s 120th birthday, Coun. Rachael Ganson (above right) presents Sean Newton with $5,000 so Caravan Farm Theatre can host a Halloween celebration Oct. 27. Below, Ganson presents $3,000 to Glen Taylor so O’Keefe Ranch can put on an afternoon of festivities Aug. 12.

This coming from a customer who had tried every other natural remedy under the sun in the past few years to take away her pain. Ian, the owner of the health food store couldn’t believe his ears. He had finally found the perfect product to stop his customer’s miseries. This is what every owner of a health food store dreams about, a natural product that receives so many outstanding testimonials on such a wide variety of health issues. “I had recommended a new product called LeafSource, which we recently started carrying. We have had tremendous success with this product, and almost everyone we have recommended it to over the last few months has come back and thanked us over and over again” said Ian. Before trying LeafSource, the woman had complained about her ongoing joint pain and was at her wit’s end. Although she had experienced some relief through the

numerous natural remedies she had tried over the years, the pain would never fully go away. “She returned to my store, in tears, less than one week after buying LeafSource. I didn’t know what to make of this woman standing in front of me crying, until she told me that within a few days of taking LeafSource her pain started to disappear and within a week it was completely gone - as if it was never there.” Ian goes on, “This coming from a woman whose painful joints and ongoing sciatica were so bad just one week earlier, that the pain was unbearable but now has completely subsided.”

Why is it so effective? LeafSource is a 100% natural product derived from a proprietary organic mineral composite with over ten years of university research. LeafSource helps regulate the inflammatory process and the body’s ability to repair itself. The vast majority (70-80%) of the population over the age of 50 have joint problems—often called osteoarthritis. This is due to the natural (or unnatural) wear and tear on joint tissue that develops through

the aging process. With joint inflammation, movement is limited and pain can be constant. LeafSource seems to have the ability to help people get their mobility and zest for life back. Millions of people seek treatment for their joint and inflammation problems by resorting to expensive, toxic prescription drugs (i.e. NSAIDs) with multiple side effects. These range from nausea and vomiting to serious intestinal disorders (bleeding, gas, pain) and even kidney and liver failure. Isn’t that too large a price to pay for a little pain relief!? LeafSource is a safe alternative to these destructive antiinflammatory drugs that cause many more problems than they solve. It is safe to take up to six per day with absolutely no side-effects and it doesn’t interfere with any other medications. Controlled experiments and observations have revealed that LeafSource is a potent anti-inflammatory that has been shown to bring a reduction of inflammation and pain within a few days. People notice great results in terms of more energy and less pain by taking anywhere from 2 to 6 capsules/day. Typical maintenance is usually 1 capsule twice daily. LeafSource is endorsed by

This product get results!

Brad King, MS, MFS

LeafSource is scientifically validated through more than 10 years of research at 4 universities, including the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mercer University. But it’s what LeafSource users are saying that truly demonstrates the products effectiveness: I have had cronic pain for over 15 years and have been going to a chiropractor monthly for pain therapy. I started using LeafSource two months ago and I am amazed at the results. I no longer have tendinitis, carple tunnel or irritable bowel. My arthritis is manageable, all my joints are limber and I’m able to exercise again. My energy levels are up, my nails and hair are stronger and my skin is softer. ~ Debbie

Nutritional Researcher, Best Selling Author Learn more at www.leafsource.com

I am pretty stunned what this has done for me in 8 days of taking LeafSource. For 18 years I have tried many many products ...most of them expensive. And most did not work at all. I had been on a mission to find a product that is doing exactly what LeafSource is doing.So here I am on day 9 with 90% of my pain gone. ~ N. W. - Toronto

An investigation is going on into two fish kills in Okanagan Lake, but it’s not yet known whether they are related or not. Hundreds of dead carp and Northern pike minnows were discovered Monday in and around Rotary Marsh in Kelowna’s downtown north end, where Brandt Creek flushes into Okanagan Lake. Conservation officer Ed Seitz was at the scene Monday afternoon and said he couldn’t see any evidence of a chemical or fuel spill, but he removed some of the carcasses to have some laboratory tests done on them. All of the fish he saw were coarse fish rather than game fish, and he said it appeared they died within the past day or two. City of Kelowna staff have also taken water samples both in Rotary Marsh — a re-constructed wetland that is now a city park — and at several spots upstream in Brandt Creek. Todd Cashin, environment and land use manager, had visited the site earlier in the day and said there didn’t appear to be different age classes, but he couldn’t speculate what might have caused the deaths. There was quite a rapid change in surface water temperatures in the past few days, he noted. That is also being noted in relation to a kokanee fish kill in two sites in the main lake. A dozen or so dead kokanee were reported in the north end of the lake, and thousands in the south, with around a thousand discovered last week across from Peachland, according to stock assessment biologist Paul Askey with the Forest Land and Natural Resource Operations ministry in Penticton. He wonders whether it’s disease-related, but in order to get the necessary lab tests done he needs a dying fish that is not yet dead on which to do them. If you find a struggling kokanee that is not yet dead, call him immediately to report it, at 250-4908200, so he can collect it. There have been similar kokanee die-offs in the past in Okanagan Lake, often in July, but not since 2009. Sometimes the numbers have been in the hundreds of thousands, where this appears to have only affected a few thousand kokanee, Askey said. He believes whatever the event was, it’s likely over now. It appears to have occurred between July 12 and 17. There has been speculation during previous dieoffs about the impact on water mixing because of windy conditions; on the impact of a particularly high spring freshet; or on the effect of sudden water temperature changes on the fishes’ physiology. Two years ago there was a fish kill in Osoyoos Lake caused by the columnaris bacteria, which can be a factor when warming water stresses fish. However, Okanagan Lake is much deeper and offers plenty of opportunity for fish to move down the water column to cooler water. Askey noted there was a recent rapid change in surface water temperatures in Okanagan Lake. Ministry biologist Tara White noted such large fish kills are not uncommon on large lakes, and most are still mysteries. “One theory is that it has something to do with high winds and sudden lake turnover which is hard on the swim bladders and fish equilibrium,” she commented.

Bridge by Phillip Alder CONVERTIBLEVALUES CONVERT TO SLAM William Lloyd Garrison, an abolitionist, journalist and social reformer who died in 1879, asked, “Are right and wrong convertible terms, dependent upon popular opinion?” For sure! If you hear the word “convertible,” you probably think of a car. But we have that word in bridge too. Look at the North hand. Your partner deals and opens one diamond, and West leaps annoyingly to four clubs. What would you do now? With 13 high-card points, you must not pass. But you cannot raise diamonds with only three or introduce spades on a four-card suit. Your only option is to double. Note that this is not

purely for penalty. It shows what we call “convertible values.” It says that you had too many points to pass, but nothing more descriptive available. How does the opener react? He should pass with a balanced hand, going for as many undertricks as possible. But with a distributional hand, he should bid, confident that your hand will contain some useful goodies. Here, South should jump to five (or six!) diamonds. Then, with decent trump support, the club ace and respectable spades, you can reasonably raise to six diamonds. West leads the club king. How should the play go? South has 12 winners:

three spades, one heart, seven diamonds and one club. To ensure those tricks, he must be careful to play a low club from the dummy at trick one. Here, calling for the ace costs the contract. East ruffs, and declarer has an unavoidable heart loser. But playing a low club from the board at tricks one and two brings home the slam.

MACKENZIE Robert Douglas Mackenzie passed away on July 16, 2012. Bob was born November 5, 1933 in Langley, BC and grew up working on his family farm as well as other local farms until he became a Millwright and worked in local sawmills and the logging industry. After running his own welding and auto businesses in Fort Langley he had mastered his knack for being able to ďŹ x anything with nothing and still have materials left over for the next job, he and his wife Anne developed a love for American Shetland ponies, as well as cart and harness making. Bob and Anne moved to the interior where Bob spent most of his adult life ranching, mechanicing, farming and leather making in the Williams Lake area at Riske Creek, as well as the Armstrong and Enderby areas. Through 42 years of marriage Bob and Anne were apart no more than a dozen days or so and were inseparable partners until Anne passed away in 2006. Bob was a wonderful lifelong friend to many. Bob had a huge heart and a very kind spirit. He was always looking for ways to help others. He will be greatly missed by his many friends and his family Mike and Jessie Wallis but can now rest in peace with his beloved wife Anne whom he never stopped missing. A memorial service will be held in Armstrong on Aug 25, 2012 at 2:00 pm at the Odd fellows Hall. In lieu of owers please send donations to the Canadian Cancer Society. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoenings.com Cremation entrusted to Schoening Funeral Service, Kamloops, 250 374 1454.
