Shooting suspects identified KATHY MICHAELS Black Press
A 19-year-old woman is recovering from a non-life threatening gunshot wound, while her two cohorts made their first court appearance Thursday, following a police chase that scattered bullets from West Kelowna to Vernon. Although the injured woman has yet to be named, RCMP Cpl. Dan Moskaluk announced late Wednesday evening that it was Shawn Adam Wysynski, 32, and Michael Edward Ellis, 39, they apprehended Tuesday, and both were slated to appear before a Kelowna judge Thursday afternoon. Charges related to allegations from Tuesday’s high profile chase have yet to be levied, but Wysynski will appear in court to deal with a warrant issued in February for failing to comply with a probation order stemming from a Kelowna file. Ellis has been wanted since June, for offences under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act for two charges of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, stemming from a Columbia Valley area investigation. Further charges could be laid in the days ahead, but Okanagan Mounties are still investigating the chase that started just after 1:30 p.m. Tuesday on Boucherie Road, and carried on for nearly 70 kilometres to Swan Lake in Vernon. “Much detail will be provided as evidence as this matter progresses,” said Moskaluk. “To ensure the integrity of our findings … we’re limited to what we can disclose.” What he did confirm was that the dramafraught drive started when police attempted to stop a suspicious green Dodge Caravan, around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday. The suspects allegedly fired shots at the West Kelowna RCMP officer, then the suspects fled on Westside Road. As the chase continued, unconfirmed reports indicate the stakes got higher, and police officers found themselves in the path of more bullets. It’s believed Cpl. Richard Gingras from the North Okanagan detachment was most seriously at risk. Once it was clear the van was headed to Vernon, he headed south down Westside Road to cut them off. Instead he found himself being chased. The suspects allegedly shot a number of rounds at Gingras’ cruiser from what was assessed to be a “high-powered rifle.”

RCMP converge on a suspect in a Chevy truck following a chase that started in West Kelowna and ended at the Swan Lake junction in Vernon Tuesday afternoon. Although some bullets made contact, they eventually stopped shooting and settled for trying to run him off the road. He maintained his course, and escaped unscathed, although the alleged suspects continued on in a way that’s yet to be made clear. It’s believed their tires were shot out at one point, and they had to resort to driving on rims. They also ran over two spike belts. Some reports have alleged that they carried on by car-jacking their way through the route to Vernon, although those are also

unconfirmed. RCMP Const. Kris Clark did confirm they were able to switch vehicles twice, noting that the Caravan was exchanged first for a red pickup truck then a black pickup – he just couldn’t say how the transitions were made. Eventually, however, their driving adventure came to an end and they tried to flee on-foot. Once apprehended, two men were brought to Kelowna lock-up, while the woman went to hospital to deal with injuries that may have been incurred during the chase.

Police officers who weren’t in the throes of the chase were also at the edge of their seats, listening to the details of a chase that’s unusual fare for this city. “I was down in the operation officers room listening to what transpired on the radio and … any time our members are being shot at, it’s pretty scary stuff,” said Kelowna RCMP Supt. Bill McKinnon. “I was certainly hoping throughout that no one would get hurt.” As is, the only injured party was the unnamed woman who was in the suspect vehicle. While McKinnon said police did exchange fire with the trio, he couldn’t speak to how the woman was hurt. That’s what the New Westminster Police Department were called in to do. “That’s part of our new policies and procedures any time that anyone is hurt by the RCMP,” he said. There were no injuries reported on the RCMP side of the investigation which involved at least 10 cruisers from Kelowna, North Okanagan and West Kelowna detachments. Five officers closest to the action, however, will be removed from duty until a fitness for duty assessment is completed. The rest is being taken over by the Southeast District Major Crimes unit.

Okanagan Landing firefighters have been invited to join the Vernon Volunteer Firefighters Association, as the city will not renew the department’s contract.
Fire service amalgamation launched ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The City of Vernon has doused renewing a fire services contract with the Okanagan Landing department. At an in-camera meeting July 23, council authorized city administrator Will Pearce to notify the Okanagan Landing Volunteer Firefighters Association that the city will not be renewing its contract when it expires Jan. 31, 2013. “On Tuesday, July 31, at 7 p.m., all active firefighters belonging to the Okanagan Landing Volunteer Firefighters Association were invited to join the Vernon Volunteer Firefighters Association, and provide service under the existing agreement between the Vernon Volunteer Firefighters Association and the City of Vernon,� said Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky in a city-issued press release. Council’s primary objectives with this initiative are to bring together all volunteer and career firefighters into one cohesive firefighting team. “The benefits will also include a reduction in overall costs while providing skilled, welltrained firefighters to deliver the best emergency response to all residents,� said the release. The City of Vernon has been the beneficiary of the efforts of Okanagan Landing volunteers since 1975, and the fire suppression service has been contracted by the city since 1993 when a boundary extension brought the Landing into
BEAT THE
municipal limits. “We’re quite disappointed in that obviously, that we’re not going to have a new contract with the city,� said Okanagan Landing fire chief Dan Fuhr on Wednesday. “I haven’t even had a chance to tell the members. We haven’t met yet.� There are currently close to 30 members of the Okanagan Landing volunteer fire department. The city owns the hall and the equipment, and Fuhr said the plan, as it stands now, is to keep the hall manned with volunteers. The news also means Fuhr will have been the chief for only a year. He took over in January when Ed Forslund retired. Fuhr is a 10-year member whose father, Doug, was a charter member with the Landing department and a former chief. “The way they’ve got it set out I don’t think there will be a Landing chief anymore,� said Fuhr. “If we’re joining the Vernon volunteers, they will fall in line with them where everybody reports to chief (Keith) Green.� In the city release, Vernon Fire Rescue said it recognizes the valuable service and high level of dedication of the Okanagan Landing Volunteer Firefighters Association during their contracts with the city. “It is important to note that the members of the association have a rich tradition and history,� said the release. “The objective is to combine
Chaise Loungers
the fire force without disrupting the ability of the association to continue other community activities.� Fuhr isn’t sure what the Landing volunteers will do. “It’s a different organization than what we’re a part of, what we signed up to do,� said Fuhr. The city states that its recommendation positions all firefighters, including Vernon career and volunteers, and volunteers currently with Okanagan Landing, to benefit from standardized training, improved safety, economy of scale for budget requirements and a common goal of community service. Along that line, council announced it had approved housing the new water tender truck to Station 1 located at 3401-30th Street. Locating the new fire truck in Station 1 will enable the training of all volunteer and career firefighters on the use of the truck before it is put into service. “Having the fire truck initially at Station 1 allows fleet services, our mechanic and our training division the opportunity to develop maintenance and deployment guidelines for the new apparatus which will help us to use our resources in the most practical and safe manner,� said Vernon Fire Rescue Services chief Keith Green. On completion of training, the new truck will be permanently deployed to a location which will provide the best service to the city.

The man arrested for allegedly robbing three Vernon financial institutions has been remanded in custody. Michael Lawrence Schoenknecht, 30, of Vernon, made his first court appearance Tuesday, and was returned to cells for another appearance in Vernon Provincial Court Thursday. Court records show as of Tuesday, Schoenknecht had been charged with one count of armed robbery. Police had issued pleas for help from the public last week to identify a suspect they believed was responsible for robberies at VantageOne Credit Union Dec. 20, Bank of Montreal Jan. 9 and HSBC July 24. They also released photos of the suspect from each robbery. On Monday, a suspect turned himself into the Vernon RCMP detachment.

Role in drug ring nets five years ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A Vernon man arrested in the U.S. as part of a cross-border drug smuggling ring is staying in jail. U.S. District Judge Sam E. Haddon sentenced Christopher Mark Chambers, 27, to five years in prison Monday in Great Falls, Mont., after Chambers pleaded guilty earlier this year to conspiracy to export cocaine. Chambers will also be on supervised release for five years after serving his term, which could be shortened for good behaviour. However, the reduction
will not exceed 15 per cent (nine months) of the overall sentence. A U.S. Department of Justice spokesperson said the judge took into account that Chambers had no prior record and was supported by about 30 family members and friends at Monday’s sentencing. Chambers is one of six North Okanagan residents arrested by authorities in Canada and the U.S. in connection with Project Faril, a large-scale international drug smuggling investigation launched in 2011 by the Regina Integrated Drug Unit. It has been deter-

On Nov. 26, 2009, Chambers and a coconspirator traveled from B.C. to Seattle, where another member of the criminal organization directed them to travel to Los Angeles and take delivery of 100 kilograms of cocaine.

The body of an Oregon man who went missing while paddleboarding near a friend’s home Monday night was pulled from Okanagan Lake Wednesday. The Kelowna RCMP received a report of a missing person on the 4000 block of Finch Road in Lake Country, Tuesday, at 9:30 p.m. “Apparently, a 73-year-old man from Oregon arrived in town the previous day to visit family,” said Const. Kris Clark. “At approximately 7:30 p.m. Monday night, the man took a paddle board out onto the lake but didn’t return. Unfortunately, he wasn’t noticed to be missing until the following night. By all accounts, the man was a strong swimmer, experienced paddle boarder and in apparent good physical health. The initial searches were unsuccessful.” The body and a paddleboard appeared in the area of Finch Road at around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday morning, and the Kelowna RCMP were called in to assist. The body has since been confirmed to be that of the 73-yearold man and his family has been notified. The West Kelowna RCMP are assisting the BC Coroner Service with the investigation.
two vehicles, then drove to L.A. They picked up the cocaine in San Bernadino, Cal., then drove the two cars to Montana. The co-conspirator carried the cocaine in his car, Chambers followed in the second vehicle. Once in Montana, Chambers identified a spot along the border between Montana and Canada through which the co-conspirator smuggled the cocaine into Saskatchewan. Between April 26, 2011, and Oct. 1, 2011, law enforcement agencies in Canada and the U.S. seized close to 214 kilograms of cocaine that

Construction on the facility would start in November 2013. “With the design and tendering process, along with the referendum, done in the spring, this should give us plenty of time to start construction in November,” said Nelson. “There shouldn’t be any concerns starting then.” GVAC directors Bob Fleming and Rob Sawatsky both thought the original pricetag for the facility was in the neighbourhood of $6 or $6.5 million. “It’s an easy way for the referendum to fail if the numbers keep going up,” said Fleming. Nelson assured directors that a resolution had been passed to borrow $8.5 million and that the original design estimate was $7.8 million. “The referendum gives us the authority to borrow $8.5 million, it doesn’t mean we’ll spend $8.5 million,” she said. “If the tender comes in at $6 million, that’s what we’ll spend. We wouldn’t borrow more than we need.”

Justice Shirley Bond. Person-caused fires continue to make up a significant percentage of the most costly fires in B.C. Since April 1, fire crews have responded to 670 fires throughout the province, 324 of which were caused by people. This year alone, 32 campfires have escaped and become wildfires. Compliance and enforcement officers will be on patrol this weekend to ensure that people are following campfire safety regulations. Remember that campfires cannot be larger than a half-metre wide by a half-metre tall. You must also create a one-metre, debris-free ring around the fire and have a shovel or at least eight litres of water available nearby to extinguish it properly. Never leave a campfire unattended. Always ensure that the campfire is completely out and the ashes are cool to the touch before leaving the area.

A ‘friend’ for everyone
W
riter C.S. Lewis said, “Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.” My mother once said if you have one very good friend, count yourself lucky. She also said it takes a long time to get to know someone, so don’t be too quick in sharing your deepest secrets. One wonders what Lewis, who died almost five decades ago, would wonder about the current state of friendship in the age of social media. I know what my mother would have thought. She was happy Katherine Mortimer to be able to e-mail her grandchildren and check things online, but there is no way she would have given Facebook more than a passing glance. She was always advising us to “keep your own counsel,” and not give away too much of ourselves to people we had just met. So I guarantee that would have extended to Facebook, Twitter and the many other sites out there where we are encouraged to share every aspect of our lives, from the sublime, such as photographs of our children on our FB page, to the ridiculous, such as a B celebrity Tweeting about her manicure. I like Facebook, but must admit I’m not a compulsive user of it. It’s fun to check out friends’ photos or see what my niece and nephew in Calgary are up to. Although now that they are adults, I sometimes have trouble reconciling that fact with my fond memories of caring for them when they were babies. And when I’m standing in line to get my driver’s licence renewed or anywhere else I’ve forgotten to bring something to read, it’s fun to go on Twitter and check out what some of my favourite personalities are saying. A very subjective list to be sure, but Simon Pegg, Stephen
AT RANDOM
Fry, Rick Mercer, Kurt Sutter, Miss Kelli Jones and The Onion all keep me amused. There is a narcissism inherent in all social media. None of us posts unflattering photographs of ourselves, although I’ve noticed that friends are happy to do that for us. Likewise with Twitter, we assume the world is fascinated by what we have to say. Apparently, many people want to know what Paris Hilton has to say. I don’t follow her, but a quick check with Google reveals that she has more than eight million followers, hanging on to her earthshattering Tweets like this one, “Had such a fabulous time in St. Tropez.” And with Facebook, there seems to be a competitive aspect to acquiring friends. I don’t particularly want hundreds or thousands of people looking at my page, seeing my family photos. And I’m happy to reject someone’s friendship if they know me only vaguely. The problem I have is when someone requests my friendship, I hit the confirm button and send along a personal message, and get nothing in return. The most egregious example of this acquisition of FB friends occurred recently when I confirmed the friendship and did not get a message in return, but instead was informed that this person had “Liked” my message. I mean, really? Are people that busy that they can’t take the time to fire off a few lines? Why do I need to be friends with someone I haven’t seen in years, probably for a good reason, and probably will never see again. The happy exception to that a very good friend of mine who lives in the U.K. and with whom I had lost touch. I was thrilled to reconnect with her on Facebook, but now we just e-mail each other and talk on the phone when we can. There are few businesses — including newspapers — which are able to function without also being tapped into social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. They’re a useful and necessary part of doing business, but having 1,000 friends on Facebook will never replace the real thing.
The weather forecast for the August long weekend in this part of beautiful British Columbia is pretty much perfect. Clear skies and temperatures in the low 30s. Exactly what you want for a round of golf in the morning, followed by an afternoon at the beach and a barbecue on the deck, along with possibly a few beverages amongst family and friends. Please enjoy all this area has to offer whether you’re from here or visiting from neighbouring provinces or even further afield. The opportunities for fun in the North Okanagan are almost as endless as the reasons for visiting this wonderful part of the world that many of us get to call home. However, with the pressure to get out there and enjoy the great outdoors sometimes comes the rush to get there. That’s why they call it a long weekend. There’s more time to enjoy than usual so take your time and safely get to your destination and allow others to do the same on what will be much busier than normal highways. The local lakes, boat launches and campsites will also likely be full to overflowing during this midseason salute to summer so courtesy, manners and fire safety will go a long way to ensure everything goes swimmingly for all involved. And speaking of water. Swimmers, boaters and paddlers of all kinds would be wise to keep an eye out for the other guy as they attempt to keep cool this B.C. Day weekend. Common sense, courtesy, and a healthy appreciation for everyone being able to enjoy themselves in a safe manner, will help ensure this weekend lives up to expectations.

Technology failing us?
I
n 2012 we have every imaginable device available to modern technology. At times it appears almost as though day-to-day living functions are on remote control. Computers have become almost indispensable tools of information from research into family roots to providing almost minute by minute weather reports. Space travel has become a reality much in the mode of the Buck Rogers 21st Century comic strip so popular decades ago. It seems nothing is impossible now. Although at considerable cost, airplanes and helicopters are used for multiple purposes, even the somewhat superficial task of monitoring traffic flow in urban areas. I had presumed that the moni-
toring of the flow of mountain streams would have been standard practice particularly during the unusual weather patterns we have
OPEN THE ROAD We arrived in Vernon on July 18 with a reservation to camp at Cedar Falls Campground until the 23rd. We chose Cedar Falls as you had a busy weekend with Sturgis in town, and while we were attending Sturgis, we were looking for a quiet atmosphere at night. Our trip up to the campground was exhausting after a long day's drive and we didn't understand why our directions were all wrong. We walked down to the "washout" to discover a simple reduction to speed and possible one lane instead of two over the bridge in the area would have prevented a lengthy detour. The people who have this campground have a limited season and this season will be all but lost by the time the road opens. My message to Vernon would be, "If tourism is a major industry, put a priority on your service providers!" The people who run this campground have made our stay wonderful, make these citizens a priority. A tourism town needs people who really care and those people need you to care. Fix this problem now. You owe your taxpayers their due. Make Vernon a town people return to because you care as much as our hosts about this industry. Barb & David Cross, Red Deer, Alberta FLYING HIGH Re: Vernon Flying Club: Running a week-long camp takes the efforts of many people to plan for
R #
success. As a member of Alexis Park Church, it was amazing to see the Vernon Flying Club assisting our Day Camp, and we would like to extend a huge thank you to them. For our ‘Sky’ Day Camp, which ran from July 9 to July 13, children over the age of eight had the opportunity to experience flying with COPA for Kids, as well as tours around the airport, meeting pilots, and having a barbecue. The staff was warm and friendly, taking their entire morning to make sure these kids had the experience of a lifetime. Some children were hesitant about hopping into the plane, but when they had landed afterwards, it is hard to put into words just how wide the smiles on their faces were, and the excitement in their voices. None of this would have been possible without the dedication of the staff at the Vernon Airport, so we again would like to say thank you for everything you have done! Pastor Trevor Finstad and Danielle Dueck (Alexis Park Church) LAKEFRONT LACKING As a Vernonite, I am a little jealous of Kelowna — just for one reason and one reason only — their accessible waterfront. When you visit Kelowna, the pleasure of strolling along their waterfront, enjoying the lake views, with music and entertainment in the summer, is immeasurable.

Recently, we visited Nakusp. Here, in this tiny village, is a beautiful waterfront promenade which includes a lovely pergola and sitting area and a tranquil Japanese garden, all leading to a public beach. Here in Vernon, we are blessed with three waterfront areas, all of which are almost completely inaccessible to the public. No lovely waterfront promenade here. What Vernon has let happen is truly tragic: gorgeous waterfronts that are almost completely taken over by residential homes and condos. Even Swan Lake is heading toward the same fate. Imagine the tranquil nature walks that could be there. Thank you to Ducks Unlimited for preserving a small corner of this lake. Thank you, too, to the small group of people who are preserving the historic Okanagan Landing Station. The loss of our waterfronts is obviously irreversible, however, let's pull together to preserve what is still left for public enjoyment. Wanda Fisher

experienced this year. Surely with today's easier access to upper regions, it could be determined when something unusual is
happening to the flow of mountain streams. In the late 1960s decade, just prior to the fatal washout at Camp Creek on the west end of Griffin Lake, Trans-Canada Highway, it had been noted that during a normal high runoff, the creek had dwindled down to a mere trickle. It would be interesting to know whether similar indictions were evident during all the recent disasters. In the late 1920-1930 decade, it was understandable that people were caught without warning in landslides and washouts. By today's standards that is classed as a primitive era. Did someone turn the clock back or is there some computer-literate reason why everyone was caught flat-footed in 2012? Alli M. Graham

Cabin destroyed by fire
MIKE CLAYTON PHOTO
Lumby firefighters were unable to save a cabin in the 1100 block of Creighton Valley Road Tuesday evening.

JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Firefighters couldn’t contend with flames already roaring through a cabin in rural Lumby Tuesday evening. The structure, one of several cabins on a lot in the 1100 block of Creighton Valley Road, is a complete loss. “It was fully engulfed when we arrived,” said Lumby fire chief Tony Clayton, estimating the damage to be worth approximately $75,000. Although the cabin couldn’t be saved, thankfully the occupant and a dog got out safely with no injuries. Firefighters, with the help of the Lavington Fire Department, were also able to keep the blaze from spreading. “It was creeping into the wildlands but we managed to get that out right away,” said Clayton, adding that there was also another cabin onsite approximately 50 feet away. The blaze, which was reported shortly after 8 p.m. Tuesday, is believed to be accidental. “The owner did not have insurance, I’m not sure if the tenant had rental insurance.”

A cyclist was issued a violation ticket after striking a pedestrian in Vernon Tuesday. The incident occurred just after 7 p.m. on 34th Street and Okanagan Avenue. The 18-year-old Vernon cyclist either couldn’t stop on his bike or didn’t stop for two people in a crosswalk at that location. The bike clipped a 21-year-old man from Kelowna and hit a 24-year-old Vernon man, who was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with a shoulder injury. The cyclist was issued a ticket for careless cycling under the Motor Vehicle Act. A witness in a vehicle that had stopped for the men in the crosswalk called the police.

Budgie out of place JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Treya Doga is used to seeing a flurry of sparrows, chickadees and other wild birds in her yard and amongst the feeders. But when she spotted a bright green and yellow parakeet wandering around she knew the little bird must be lost. “We noticed it in the yard sometime early last week and thought, ‘oh what a pretty bird,’” said Doga, who lives with her husband Randy Jones in their East Hill home on 18th Street. “He was walking around the yard with the other birds we feed.” Even after going away for a camping trip, the
couple returned to find the budgie still hanging around. “He’s inhabited one of the sparrow’s birdhouses,” said Doga, who has since picked up some parakeet food for their new little friend. As beautiful as the budgie is to watch, the Vernon couple is eager to return it to its rightful owner. “We’re hoping to find its home, if not we’ll get a little bird cage and get it to move in there somehow,” said Doga. Anyone who has lost a green budgie in the area can call Treya or Randy at 250-542-6385.

A 23-year-old Lake Country man lost his licence for 24 hours after rolling his vehicle on Carrs Landing Road Monday evening. The Lake Country RCMP received a report of a single-vehicle rollover in the 14800 block of Carrs Landing Road at 6:20 p.m. “Witnesses reported seeing a green Subaru pass them at a high rate of speed before they came upon that same vehicle in the ditch surrounded by a cloud of dust,” said Kelowna RCMP Const. Kris Clark. “The vehicle suffered severe damage in the rollover but the driver, and sole occupant, appeared to be unharmed.” The driver was issued a 24-hour driving prohibition.

DQ serves up new record Morning Star Staff
Kids from the Children’s Miracle Network got a special treat after Thursday’s Miracle Treat Day at
Dairy Queen. Sheldon Aldrich from the Vernon location says this is his sixth year being involved and it was by far the best he’s experienced.
A total of 1,347 Blizzards were sold in Vernon on Thursday, that’s more Blizzards than any of the previous years.
“We beat our previous high set in August ‘08, we sold over 100 more Blizzards,” said Aldrich. In addition to the record amount of Blizzards, balloon sales were also up from previous years with a total of 270 being sold to raise a record amount Those numbers combined with the donations collected made for a grand total of $6,360 going toward the Children’s Miracle Network, almost $1,200 more than the previous record of $5,183 that was raised in 2008. “It was a good year and we’re really happy with how it went,” said Aldrich. Prior to this year’s Miracle Treat Day, Dairy Queen has raised over $91 million since they first started supporting the Children’s Miracle Network in 1984.

Controls climb into penthouse Morning Star Staff
Turn-Key Controls extended their winning streak to six games and took over first place Wednesday night by shading the Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels FC 2-1 at Marshall Field #5. In what was a very well-contested North Okanagan Soccer League game, neither team was able to score in the first half with the closest chance being a Greg Niemantsverdriet shot that rang off the Camels’ post. The Camels (6-8-2) opened the scoring early in the second half when Austin Jones converted a penalty kick past Turn-Key keeper Jeremy Kler. The two clubs engaged in a battle in the midfield all game, with neither side able to really pull away. Turn-Key (11-4-1) equalized when Evan Moore converted a penalty past Humpbacks’ keeper Sean Campbell. A Turn-Key counterattack worked wonders with five minutes remaining when Andrew Pool took a pass from Taylor Horsting and delivered a brilliant cross to Nolan’s Pharmasave Man of the Match Chris Jahnig, who buried the header past Campbell. Moore started the play. North Enderby Timber shut down Courvas 3-0 at Marshall #1 to move into sole possession of second place, two points back of Turn-Key. Keeper Danny Stein looked at pictures from his Friday night wedding social on his iPhone while his NET teammates peppered Courvas with dozens of shots. Red-hot Brent Poulsen jumpstarted the offence in the 37th minute when he took a feed from centre back Tyler Loose just inside the 18, made two touches and curled a low shot into the corner. Courvas, who had just 11 men, lost a winger to a knee injury in the 30th minute. NET went up by a deuce in the 65th minute when Harminder Sandhu buried a rebound of a Brandon Enair shot that was blocked by a defender. Poulsen closed the scoring 15 minutes
later when ripped a shot from the right side of the 18 and chased down the rebound. The Revelstoke Stallions brushed back Davidson & Co. Dynamite 4-3 at Marshall #4. The Dynamite spotted Revelstoke (10-42) three goals in the first 20 minutes before getting themselves back into the game. The Dynamite also had two goals called back, one of which was a penalty kick. Chris Swinburn, Moe Singogo and Patrick Schindler scored for the Nitros (5-8-3), whose keeper, Brynden Buckham, made several spectacular saves. Noah Varley, returning after four games off, was awesome at middle defender, earning the Burger King Man of the Match. Injury-riddled Monashee Surveying showed up with nine men and bowed 12-2 to Nation of Domination Eagle Homes in Salmon Arm. Eagle Homes (8-6-1) scored five times in the first 20 minutes before Alberto Lopez clicked on a penalty kick after being pulled down going through the middle of the box. Fearless leader Eric Nolting tried to spark 5-7-3 Monashee in the second half with some great hustle and determination. After a few more goals by NOD and great saves by stand-in keeper Chandler Marsh, Monashee converted on a slick passing play, finished by a calm Geoff Straight. The host Salmon Arm Outlaws clipped Concept Physio 2-1 in a spirited match. The Outlaws (3-10) came out right from the opening whistle and worked the subless 1-12-3 Concept Physio team hard. Some great goalkeeping by Riley Spraggs kept Concept in the game. Concept changed gears in the second half and came out in a 2-5-3 formation that confused the Outlaws and produced some great chances using the extra attackers to generate more offence. The father-son duo of Brad and Mike Conlin were outstanding and helped put the Outlaws on their heels. Shane Whitley made some excellent runs on the outside

Brock Reim was a machine on the back end in the second half, helping Rob Spraggs
repel wave after wave of counters from the Outlaws. Concept was unable to capitalize on a myriad of chances, and the Outlaws found a seam in the defence and scored the winner in the dying minutes.

Pierce prevails KEVIN MITCHELL Morning Star Staff
You may not have recognized rugby star Cam Pierce at the Canada Day weekend Funtastic slo-pitch tournament. He was dressed in plaid and wearing a cowboy hat, not for disguise, but because his team chose the duds for the fun and frolics. It was his way of unwinding after a week of training with the Canadian men’s team in Vancouver. “After Vancouver I hung out with all my good friends back in Coldstream,” said Pierce. “Highlight of being home was Funtastic weekend. I played on a team with a bunch of my buddies, mostly Kal ‘09 grads. None of us knew how to play ball but the Hometown Hicks managed to take third place in the Costume Division.” Pierce worked out at Kal Fitness for two weeks prior to the national training. “It was good being a part of the team as I am doing a Canada tour to Argentina in October, mainly consisting of Team Canada, minus their oversea pros. That tour is in preparation for the November European tour with the full top team so if I do well, then hopefully I will have a Canada cap before the end of 2012.” Pierce, 21, is immersed in the French culture as he plays rugby and goes to school as part of an apprenticeship with the ASM Clermont Auvergne Academy, in Clermont-Ferrand, one of the country’s oldest cities (population 150,000). The 6-foot-6, 230-pound second row player was recruited after playing internationally for Team Canada Under 20. He played high school for the Kalamalka Lakers. Like most of the players in the academy, Pierce is enrolled at the university, where he takes a French course four days a week. Each week, the team lifts weights four times, trains three times and does a captain’s run the day before a game. “They were pleased with my season although I didn’t play much during the second half due to a herniated cervical disc. I got offered to re-sign this year with a small payment increase. All around I was pretty pleased with how it went. I
am shooting for a pro contract with ASM during the next two years, otherwise I will look elsewhere in France.” ASM defeated Perpignan 22-19 in 20 minutes of overtime, in the U23 league final. It was 16-16 at the end of regulation after ASM scored a late try. “The season went great, we were U23 Champions de France for the third year in a row. I will hopefully have a starting position this year rather than being a sub and moving between the U21 and U23s. They play a very physical style of play and are pretty picky in playing your role. “There are a lot more skilled players here than back home because of the age they start, same as us with hockey. I scored four tries with the U21s, none with U23s, and had a few scraps with both teams. “I felt that I was a standout player on the U21s but was pretty average with the U23s since we have a lot of players who are up and down between the pro team and U23s. It’s a very good level for progression and exposure. This year I will have a bigger role on the team so that will help with my future as a player.” Besides Jamie Cudmore from last year’s Canadian World cup team, there is another Canadian new to the club this year: Conor McCann (1993) from Bobcaygeon, Ont., who can play anywhere in the backs. “He is doing pre-season with the pro team. He has become a good buddy and crashed on my floor for three months after they asked him to stay in February.” Pierce has made loads of friends from all over the world at school. “French exams haven’t changed at all for me since high school, where I was too cocky and didn’t study so I ended up barely brushing by. This year I am taking Geography and History courses in French which will be super hard but should be fun and help me with the language. I also have a meeting in August to discuss becoming a volunteer firefighter at the fire hall near my apartment so I’m pretty stoked on that.” Pirece has all his living expenses and a lot of extras covered, along with flights home twice a year.
PHOTO SUBMITTED
Training camp is well under way and consists of 7 a.m. team breakfast and ends at 4 p.m.with a small break for lunch. Training normally consists of swimming, boxing/MMA, hill running, speed training, weights and skills. “I have been doing a fair amount of rehab on my neck lately (C3/C4 herniated disc) so it has been fine and should hold up as long as I continue to work on it. Latest little injury was a broken nose while with Team Canada; that makes three or four so it’s starting to look pretty crooked.” Clermont-Ferrand is famous for hosting one of the world’s leading international festivals for short films, the Festival du Court Metrage de Clermont-Ferrand, as well as the corporate headquarters of Michelin, the global tire company created more than 100 years ago.

Ball hockey nationals hit Wesbild GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
It is a sport most Canadians grew up playing in the streets with neighbourhood friends. There were no intermissions, and the only stoppages in play came when someone yelled “Car,” followed by “Game on.” In recent years, ball hockey has gained more of an international profile, and is even being considered as a potential Olympic sport further down the road. Rising ball hockey talent is on display this weekend as the Under 17 men’s nationals are underway at Wesbild Centre. The four-team tourney features a pair of Coastal entries – B.C. Thunder and West Coast Wolverines – and two from the Prairies – Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Preliminary action began Thursday, and the Thunder open action at noon today against Saskatchewan. The Wolverines take
on Manitoba at 1:20, and Saskatchewan at 7:00. The Thunder and Manitoba battle in an 8:20 game. On Saturday, the second- and thirdplace preliminary round teams square off at noon, with the bronze-medal game slated for 10 a.m. Sunday, followed by the championship game at noon. Erik Locke, commissioner of the Okanagan Ball Hockey League, worked with the Canadian Ball Hockey Association to host U17 nationals to help raise awareness of the sport in the region. “It’s just exploded here with the men’s league,” said Locke, noting the involvement of Vernon Viper grads Dave Robinson, Bryce Kakoske and Kevin Kraus has helped boost the sport’s local profile. “We’re looking to grow a youth league so it can be a feeder league for young adults.”
Locke plans to start a minor league this fall in Armstrong, starting in October at Hassen Memorial Arena. A summer league will follow next year at Wesbild. He says ball hockey, a non-contact sport, is ideal for not only hockey players looking for some offseason cross-training, but also for those looking to have a run and get involved in a fun team sport. “It’s a great way to stay in shape, it’s absolutely affordable, it’s well organized, it’s fully insured,” said Locke. “It’s for all ages and you don’t have to be in tip-top shape to be out there. “It’s a real clean sport too. There’s no fighting, and stick work is penalized. There’s not that old stigma where it was a hack-and-whack kind of sport.” Anyone interested in getting involved can contact Erik through the league’s Okanagan Ball Hockey Facebook page, or by e-mailing him at eriklocke@telus.net.

Controllers hold back Rosters 2-1 Morning Star Staff
tricky Jacquie Nuyens. Rosters thought they had tied the game after a through ball was put in the back of the net off a scramble but the linesman had his flag up for offside and the goal was not allowed. In the dying minutes, O’Gorman again on a header forced the keeper to make a great save after a terrific cross from Michele Wernicke. Krista Backer and O’Gorman were hot up front for the Controllers (10-3-2), while midfielders Sena Bishop, Krista Copeland, Leslie Epp and Durfeld used a short passing game for success. The Vernon Square North Okanagan United, led by their fearlous banged up, black-eyed veteran Shelly Johnston, shut down shorthanded Season’s Sista’s 5-0 at Marshall Field #3. Sue Barss, from the far right corner, and Shelley Henry on a header pass by Wendy Stevens, gave NOU the quicky 2-0 lead. Calendar girl Char McNaught, with her head facing backwards, neatly headed in the 3-0 goal just before the half. Cheryl Roddis, on a big boom, and Carla Gibson, on a splendid run and shoot, completed the offence for NOU (6-4-4), whose keeper, Dar Wiese, CLIFFORD made numerous AUTOMOTIVE sharp goal kicks.

The Vernon Controllers knew Rosters would come out hard to avenge a 1-0 loss earlier this North Okanagan Women’s Soccer League Masters Division season. And Rosters appeared serious when tall striker Tori Haller made a sweet run down the right side and at the edge of the 18-yard box, drifted a shot over the head of a surprised keeper Mickey Templeton, in the opening minute. The Controllers gained their composure and went on to clip Rosters 2-1 in a good shoulderto-shoulder battle to stay one win back of the third-place Longhorn Impact. Felicia O’Gorman equalized by beating keeper Peggy Warnes on the left side from 12 yards in the 15th minute. O’Gorman almost got the goahead goal when her quick shot from in close was headed out by a defender with the keeper clearly beaten. Minutes into the second half, the Controllers recorded the winner when Ang Durfeld knocked the ball across the goal line after keeper Jenny Mae couldn’t handle a 30-yard howitzer by slick and
Sista’s pulled up their socks and went to work anyway, with keeper Susan August agressively challenging attacks, and forward-turned-defender Sasha Schenker denying several rushes all night. Andrea Zubot, playing against her old squad, had great chemistry with Kim Sylvester with give-and-goes creating many break ins and just missing with some exciting hard, long bombs. Wendy Horner, Sherry Weibe and Wonita Garner were also stellar on defence.
Cooper pulls hat trick
The Longhorn ambushed Shusway Kaos 8-0 in Salmon Arm to move into a share of second spot with idle Ted United. “It was a very consistent night for us; we passed extremely well and sent many crosses in,” said Impact veteran Suzie Andrews. Jodi Hawthorne scored first on a shot from 10 yards outside the box after a run up the right wing.

Knights call on recruits KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Their highest-scoring defenceman is done for the season. Their top offensive players have either found jobs on the oil rigs, quit the game or committed to Junior A teams. The North Okanagan Knights do, however, sport a decent core group and some worthy rookie recruits as they prepare for their main camp, Aug. 14-15, at Nor-Val Sports Centre in Armstrong. Kris Mallette’s crew finKris Mallette ished seventh in the 20-team Kootenay Junior International Hockey League last year, at 35-16-0-1. They lost a seven-game firstround playoff series to regular-season division champion Kamloops Storm. “We’re going to be ridiculously local this year,” chuckled Mallette. “We won’t have the large Kelowna connection we had last year.” Vernon’s Chris Gillies, who racked up 5-14-19 in 50 games last season, was seriously injured in a Jeep accident just outside of Kelowna in early July. Knights’ netminder Dustin Nikkel was also involved in the mishap, but escaped injury. “Chris will be in a back brace for six months; he’s lucky to be alive,” said Mallette. Captain Steven Pantazopoulos, who had 4-1317 in 37 games due to injury last year, heads the small returning bunch of forwards, including Alex Klintare (3-3-6) and Justin Murray (3-2-5).
Enderby product Brett Hawrys, who won the Thompson-Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League scoring title this summer, is attending the Lloydminster Bobcats’ Junior A camp this month. The Bobcats are coached by former Vernonite Ryan Parent. On the blueline, the Knights eligible to return include Josh Klein, John Saunders, Nathan Browne and Thomas Swales. Nikkel will try to make a Junior A team in net, which leaves Aaron Brandoli of Vernon as the lone veteran. Vernon’s Mat Lambert and Colton Thibault, who both played for the Major Midget Okanagan Rockets last season, join Salmon Arm’s Matt Saharchuk (Pursuit of Excellence, Kelowna) as rookie forwards invited to camp. Darian Head of Salmon Arm Midgets and Alex Gran of the Okanagan Rockets are recruits on the back end. “We should have 35 to 40 kids at camp,” said Mallette. “A lot of kids want to go to Junior A camps first this year.” The Knights, who have Shawn Webb back as assistant coach and Brett Tomlinson as goalie coach, open the KIJHL season Friday, Sept. 14 at the Sicamous Eagles. Their home opener is a Sunday matinee two days later versus the Spokane Braves. North Okanagan will play the host Chase Chiefs in a Friday, Aug. 31 preseason tilt. The camp runs Tuesday, Aug. 14 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. and goes the next day with a goalie session from 9-10 a.m. followed by a scrimmage from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
3D archery targets Silver Star Morning Star Staff
More than 300 entrants will compete in the National 3D Archery Championships this weekend at Silver Star Mountain Resort. Often called “redneck golf,” the goal of 3D archery is to gain points by hitting various animal-shaped targets close to life size. Archers guess how far away the target is and where to shoot to achieve the highest possible score. Organizer/archer Kevin Reimer of Enderby said
there will be athletes aged six to 70-something. Targets will be set up all over the mountain, including near the top of the green chair. Reimer’s wife Christine, and daughters, Shelby and Téa, will represent Team B.C. Logan Meier of Vernon, a former national champion, will also shoot. Several area fish and game clubs are helping put on the event. Action goes Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Spectators are welcome.

Robertson, a Cobble Hill product, posted four assists in 31 games after joining Vernon. He will join former Vipers Kyle Turner Lawson Bigos and Mike Collins on Massachusetts-based Merrimack, battling in the Hockey East Conference. As part of the deal that brought Robertson to Vernon, the Vipers have sent Turner Lawson to Victoria as future considerations (the Grizzlies also acquired the rights to Zach McPhee in the deal). Lawson played both forward and defence last season, recording a goal and three helpers in 50 games. He also brought a much-needed physical element to the Vipers, entertaining fans with several spirited scraps.

A powerplay goal with 35 seconds remaining helped Brodie MacDonald’s Langley Thunder take Game 1 in the best-of-seven Western Lacrosse Association playoff series with the Burnaby Lakers. Lewis Ratcliff ’s third goal of the game snapped the tie, sending the Thunder to a 9-8 victory over Burnaby Wednesday night at the Langley Events Centre. MacDonald backstopped his team with a 39-save showing. Game 2 goes tonight at Burnaby’s Bill Copeland Arena, with Game 3 set for Tuesday at the LEC. The Lakers scored twice late in the game to equalize, and MacDonald added three goals with the man advantage against the top-seeded and defending champion Thunder. Burnaby led 3-2 after 20 minutes and pulled ahead by a pair of goals early in the second, but Langley countered with six of the next seven goals and led 8-6 after two periods. Ratcliff finished with three goals and three assists while Garrett Billings also had a six-point performance with a goal and five helpers.

Jockey Kassie Guglielmino prepares for her second race during Vernon Racing Days at Kin Park last Sunday. The races continue this Sunday.
More than 1,300 people braved the heat for the Vernon Cup horse races at Kin Race Track Sunday. And similar crowds are anticipated for the final races this Sunday. “The large crowd was treated to an exciting afternoon of races at the oldest operating race track in Canada,” said Ed Woolley, president of the Kin Racetrack Association. The track is 119 years old. There were five races over the course of the afternoon with the feature race of the day, the 1 1/8 mile Vernon Cup won by Smart Call by two lengths over West Walker. Smart Call is a repeat winner having won in a photofinish in 2011. “The success was not limited to the track however with almost $19,000 bet on the day,” said Woolley. Organizers are hopeful the large crowds will be back on Sunday for the final day of races for the season at Kin Race Track. The feature race that day will be the Sun FM Mile. Gates open at noon with the parade to post at 1:15 p.m. Admission is $5, children 12 and under are free.

UBC app taps into fire safety Morning Star Staff
UBC OKANAGAN PHOTO
UBC’s smartphone app allows a user to collect data and photos of suspected forest fire hazards and measure them using the principles of remote sensing.
A smart-phone app that prevents forest fires by identifying hazardous areas and that was developed by researchers at the University of British Columbia is getting tested in the Okanagan this summer. Wildfires are a yearly threat in the region. The 2003 Okanagan Mountain fire destroyed 25,000 hectares of forest and 239 homes, and in July 2009, two fires in West Kelowna forced 12,500 residents out of their homes and destroyed three properties. Designed by Faculty of Forestry PhD student Colin Ferster and professor Nicholas Coops, the app is designed for professionals and members of the public, such as homeowners. Starting at the top of the trees and working down to the forest floor, the app contains images of potential fire hazards such as fallen wood, brush, or a thick carpet of needles on
Passionate about food
the forest floor. Once identified, users take pictures and upload the images, additional information and global positioning system (GPS) coordinates to a database. “One of the most effective ways to reduce wildfire hazard is to reduce the amount of fuel that is available to burn,” said Ferster. “By putting this tool in hands of many people, we can collect more information about the current status of the forest, and at the same time increase awareness and cooperation, which will help reduce the threat of wildfire in the community.” With consistent and comparable measurements at their disposal, forest managers can make timely decisions on how to best minimize fire hazard. A field trial of the app is currently underway at UBC’s Okanagan campus in Kelowna.

Dog dies in locked-up car Black Press
Kelowna Mounties dealt with a grim case of alleged negligence last week. Two women, ages 29 and 30, were allegedly shoplifting from the Real Canadian Superstore, while their small dog was left behind in their vehicle just after noon last Friday. With heats rising throughout the morning, however, it turned out to be a fatal decision. “All of the windows on the vehicle were up and the water supply inside had been exhausted,” said Const. Kris Clark. “The dog unfortunately succumbed to the heat and was found deceased upon arrival.” It’s unclear who will continue the investigation into animal negligence, although the police will be looking in to the shoplifting complaint made by the store. “Leaving your dog or child in the car, even for a ‘minute’ to run in to get something, can have devastating consequences,” said Clark. “The Kelowna RCMP has seen an increase in calls for service regarding dogs in cars over the last little while, and often deal with multiple incidents in the same parking lot.” Please, leave pets at home. If you see a dog in distress, call your local SPCA shelter.

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
OKANAGAN LANDING FLOOD PROTECTION PROJECT Mounce Construction Ltd., working for the City of Vernon, will be constructing flood protection works in the Okanagan Landing area starting the week of August 6 and ending in November 2012. The majority of construction will take place on the Marshall Field site, between the soccer center access road and tennis court parking area. Construction will also take place in Okanagan Landing Road to accommodate the installation of a new drainage culvert and associated works. The project will result in minor delays to local traffic, with single lane alternating traffic on Okanagan Landing road taking place periodically. The existing paved path and a portion of the tennis court parking area will be closed for the duration of construction. For further details please contact the project engineer, Mr. Brian Monahan, P. Eng., Quantum Consulting at 250-503-1023 or visit: http://www.vernon.ca/index.php/projects/okanaganlanding-road-floodprotection-project/ The City of Vernon would also like to remind the public to obey construction signage, flag person’s directions and posted speed limits through construction zones.

arts B Fast-paced fun in Caravan western %$)4/2 +RISTIN &RONEMAN s s ENTERTAINMENT VERNONMORNINGSTAR COM
KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Neither hail, lightning nor hurricane-like winds could stop the Caravan from rolling with its latest outdoor theatrical experience. Although the July 26 opening of Caravan Farm Theatre’s The Notorious Right Robert and His Robber Bride went without a hitch, reports came in the next day about the pulse storm that hit Armstrong-Spallumcheen, practically flooding the area in its wrath. But as they say in the business, the show must go on. And Caravan did – without power, no less – and so it came in handy that two vintage cars used in the production were able to light things up, literally, with the use of their headlights. The ingenious ways of Caravan’s always talented cast and crew shone through, and it does with this show, written by Sean Dixon, with dramaturge by Vicki Stroitch, and directed by Caravan’s artistic director Courtenay Dobbie. With the “soundtrack� played by a live band, led by Salmon Arm native Herald Nix, whose rhythmic guitar work and smooth tones set us in a country-kind of mood, the play is as fast-paced as the cars that zip on by, and as strong in character as the Clydesdales and their handlers who deliver the set pieces – again ingenious. The play is also a heck of a lot of fun. It’s Bonnie and Clyde set in wildwoods B.C., with some fantastic secondary characters setting up the story and the props, thanks most in part to the lanky, hardworking sheriff/narrator Julius Tallhammer. Addressing the audience, and then easing naturally into his Andy Griffith-like role, Calgary actor Christopher Hunt does a superb job of keeping up with the quick pace, literally hanging up props while talking (not an easy feat) and improvising with

Caravan Farm Theatre presents its summer show, The Notorious Right Robert and His Robber Bride, playing until Aug. 26. his natural wit when the horses took a little longer than expected delivering the goods. Tallhammer leads us into the story following the travails of the titular title character, Right Robert Popoff (played with pep and vigor by Toronto’s Greg Gale), who with his more level-headed older brother, Blue Jay (a sound performance by Vancouver actor Darren Dolynski), has been living a life of crime. Dressed in their “work� clothes, ‘30s finery of fedoras, pinstripes and suspendered
trousers (a shout-out to costumer Christine Reimer for making the men look as dazzling as their smiles), they cause havoc in their hometown of Chickabiddy and surrounds, with equally entertaining names that sound rather familiar. On one job they hold up the local pawn shop, and almost meet their maker in the likes of the martial arts expert shopkeeper (the expressively talented Elinor Holt, who plays multiple roles in the show, including Mary Scrapes whose storyline becomes
more apparent near the end of the play). Enter Jenny Lundy (Georgina Beaty, a master of forlorn looks who rocks a slightly southern accent for reasons unknown). She wants to sell her mother’s ring for some quick cash. The girl is so desperate, she dines on squirrel for supper, but she has a dream of becoming a reporter. God knows why, but at least the girl wants to deliver more meaningful news than the local rag that calls itself a newspaper. (Hmmm, I wonder which paper she could be referring to?!) Her words so impress Right Robert that he literally sweeps her off her feet – in the coolest getaway scene, thanks to one of the aforementioned vintage cars. Blue Jay, in the meantime, ain’t too happy about his brother hooking up with another dame, but he has respect for Jenny, as it turns out, she can kick a‌, well, like a donkey! She’s tough thanks to her hardscrabble life. As the three plan to hit their biggest target yet, British Columbia Provincial Police continue on their tail. And dragging his with a whip of an ego is Bull Withers (played with baritoned bravado by Bruce Horak), whose love of firearms and the “chaseâ€? makes up for his lack of a plan.... or brains. All these characters culminate in a bangup ending, where not everyone ends up as expected – this is a dirty and dusty western, after all. But if John Wayne was still alive, I’m sure he’d say Caravan shows true grit in staging a play that not only entertains in spades, but can even handle Mother Nature and all her wily ways. You’d be amiss to miss this one. The Notorious Right Robert and His Robber Bride continues at Caravan Farm Theatre nightly, rain or shine, at 7:30 p.m. (except Mondays) until Aug. 26.

7EST OF (ELL REVIVES THAT CLASSIC METAL SOUND ANDRE LODDER
Morning Star Staff
In the years since bands like Metallica and Judas Priest reigned supreme, the metal-genre has evolved and taken on a new sound, but one band is looking to revive that old sound. West of Hell originated out of West Auckland, New Zealand but have since moved to Vancouver, found a lead vocalist and are now set to tour Western Canada. The band made a stop in Vernon Thursday night, taking the stage at Sneakers Pub as part of a Western Tour. They will now carry on to Lethbridge, and Edmonton, Alta. and will tour as far as Saskatoon, Sask. After leaving New Zealand in search of a vocalist, West
of Hell has been reasonably successful in Canada, and the reason is simple: a bigger population. “New Zealand is basically too small, even for the mainstream artists. The country and population is too small to support that. If you want to do anything with music you have to leave,� said drummer Andre Hulme. After taking a leap of faith and committing to the west coast even before having a lead singer, West of Hell has been fortunate. In their search for a front man they came upon Chris (The Heathen) Valagao. Upon finding their vocalist, West of Hell also found their sound, a sound that sets them apart from other metal bands. “We’re definitely different than a lot of the metal bands
Soleway & Steel
521 Middleton Way
that have been around in the last 10 years,� said Hulme. “Primarily our musical style has a lot to do with it, but I think our vocals is what really sets us apart. “We have somebody that can sing at a very high level, which is something that’s not found too often these days anymore.� West of Hell is reaching all types of metal fans with their unique style that for the most part remains uncategorized in metal. “It’s already been tried and tested, we’ve come up with a sound that seems to be crossing not only genres of metal but also the age gaps. It’s bridging the age gap quite well with younger listeners and old-school metal-heads,� said Hulme.

he Don’t Watch. Or Insightful comments on a stupid movie. When one of his Costco employees is murdered, Evan (Ben Stiller) decides to take action. Forming a Neighbourhood Watch with fellow suburbanites Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade, The Watch becomes embroiled in a mystery that goes far beyond their own backyards, deep into the galaxy. Once again, however, there can be only one question that matters: “Is it funny?” We say, “No.” HOWE: The Watch is like MELINDA SUE GORDON/TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX FILM CORPORATION an episode of Scooby Doo Richard Ayoade (left), Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller and Jonah Hill star in The Watch. meets the Hardy boys sci-fi murder mystery comedy, that the dialogue was more or HOWE: I found myself rating.

STREET SOUNDS
soul, she finds shelter in classic 1960s Motown and R&B. Glitter and Gold is a dark minor key cautionary song driven by the Wurlitzer and Ferguson’s edge-ofnight delivery. The track is pared down to a grainy representation of a lush and uneasy soul lament; Backtrack has a similar if more urgent edge. The flip side of this are Fairytale (let me live my life this way) and Mr. Bright Eyes, irresistible soulpop grooves that float Ferguson’s uplifted
melodies with the spark lit by girl groups like the Supremes and Martha and the Vandellas. Although Ferguson’s voice is a splendid instrument, she never succumbs to the wank and drama that have marred the skills of other similarly talented singers; she sings just enough — with the soul of an artist rather than a money-driven insta-star. Her voice gets your attention the only way that matters — through the gut and the heart.

STORK REPORT
CARA BRADY/MORNING STAR
Simone Couch, 10, will have her poem, In the Morning, published in the Young Writers Poetry Institute of Canada anthology The Wishing Well, this fall.
Poet inspired by nature CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
It was a bright, sunny spring morning. Simone Couch, then nine, was getting ready to go out for a day at Ellison Park with her family and she wrote a poem about it. Her grandmother submitted the poem, In the Morning, to the Young Writers Poetry Institute of Canada and it was selected to appear in the anthology to be published in the fall. “We got a letter about it and everyone was so happy,” said Simone. “I’ve always been a bookworm and loved reading. When I wrote the poem, I saw evergreen branches on the ground and was waving them around and that was the first part. Then I saw the clouds and felt the breeze, and that was the second part. I wrote it all down on a little piece of paper and when we got to the park, it was finished.” Her mother, Lucie Heppner, said Couch is always reading, at breakfast and before bed and anytime in between.
“I think this is wonderful and very encouraging for young writers to have their work recognized. I’m so proud of her. She’s very creative in a lot of ways. She does a lot of filming and she wrote a cheer for her soccer team and she has a binder full of stories and ideas. She definitely has vision,” she said.
“I think I do see things differently.” — Simone Couch Simone, a Grade 5 BX school student, is inspired by nature, by what she reads, watches and observes around her. “I think I do see things differently. Sometimes when I look at things, I see something else — patterns or designs,” she said. She is also inspired by her mother, who is a song writer and guitar player and has
illustrated one of her stories. She is presently working on two short stories called Farm Girl and Pirate’s Life. In the Morning As the sun burst through the branches of the trees, there was a warm but chilly breeze. As the trees stretched out their branches, they overlooked all the houses and ranches. When the clouds woke up and started to roll by, they said to the great blue sky: “What a beautiful day”… and they where right You simply could not say it any other way. Soon you could hear all the alarm clocks, but they where still quiet enough to hear the babbling brook sliding over the rocks. When the night became old and the morning became young, you could hear people say “the morning has won.”

Lecture won’t help weight loss
D
ear Annie: My parents and siblings often complain that they can’t lose weight. However, they douse their food in salt and sauces, drink alcohol before bed, and have no qualms about pulling out the potato chips or chocolate candy. I used to be like them, but I’ve lost a great deal of weight and feel fantastic. When my family complains about their weight, I suggest that they accompany me on my walks or eat the same foods I eat, but they decline. They tease me when I measure out portion sizes or choose healthier options for my meals. They congratulate me when they notice my continuing weight loss, but then they urge me to “slow down.” What does this mean? Are they jealous of my success?
Annie, I can’t stand diet is healthy and wellto watch them put balanced, you should unhealthy things into continue to focus on their mouths anymore. your own good habits What do I do? — and do your best not to Healthier and Happier lecture them on theirs. Dear Healthier: If eating around them Nothing.

to say it, but some men are simply dismissive of women’s conversation. If you are close friends, you should mention it, asking them to be more considerate and reminding them when they forget. Otherwise, there’s not much you can do other than talk over them, ignore them or direct your conversation to a more amenable listener. Dear Annie: Your response to “At a Loss,” the grandmother who was afraid of losing her grandson, missed the point. You said to check grandparents rights in her state, but that her best bet is to get back into her daughter-inlaw’s good graces. I think that is unrealistic. As a trial lawyer and grandfather, I would have advised her to call a family lawyer. They also should be advised
to document everything they have done, and continue to do, for their grandchild, as well as every occasion on which they are denied visitation. They need to understand that the grandson has the right to see loving grandparents, as well. One consultation with the lawyer would suffice to tell them what their rights are. — Louisville, Ky. Dear Louisville: True, but not so simple. In fact, recently, courts in several states have ruled that statutes providing for grandparent visitation violate either federal or local state constitutions. Plus, there are multiple requirements that must be met before visitation is granted, and if the parents are still married and neither wants the grandparents to see the child, visitation is tremendously difficult.
Losing a child is one of life’s biggest tragedies Editor’s note: The following is from The Compassionate Friends. Whether you’ve lost a young child or an adult child, the feeling of loss cuts deep; all that promise, all those hopes, all those possibilities for a bright and successful future disappear in an instant. As parents, we are not programmed to deal with the death of a child. We accept the loss of our parents and grandparents as inevitable. But losing a child — that’s never something we expect to deal with. We bring children into the world with great hopes for their future. Never are we prepared to have our child taken away by some brutal accident, war, murder or suicide. None of these possibilities enter our mind until something tragic actually happens. When confronted with this type of loss, we are shaken to our very
core. The experience of losing a child unnerves us. All of a sudden the world we thought we knew is no longer safe. Our remaining children are not safe. We collapse into a puddle of nerves and tears. While each person’s grief is as different as the individual, the family must learn to live without the child and the emptiness this absence brings. Complete recovery is a myth. Bereaved family members gradually put their lives back together again, but never truly “get over it.” They will never have the same lives they had before. The bond with the child, brother, or sister will never be broken, because the love that has been shared will always remain. In the end it doesn’t matter what took your child from you; the grieving and healing process you must undergo remains the

same. Dealing with feelings through therapy, group work and guided journaling are the tools and practices necessary for recovery. If you are a newly bereaved parent you may find support and friendship through a self-help group for parents who have experienced the death of a child. This group is called The Compassionate Friends (TCF). Within this group, as parents we all share the common knowledge of the agony that comes with the death of a child.
If you are further along on your grief journey you may find it helpful to become active in TCF by giving back. One of the best ways to receive continuing support through the bereavement process is to help other families just starting on their grief journey. TCF of Vernon has compiled a bereavement package designed to offer comfort and guidance as you begin to grieve the loss of your precious child. If you would like a package mailed to you, please contact Darlene at 250-558-5026.
For more information, e-mail Vernon@ TCFCanada.net, see www.tcfcanada.net or contact Darlene at above number, Kelli at 250379-2465 in Falkland or Sandy at 250-675-3793 in Salmon Arm.
We appreciate your encouragement for “At a Loss” to seek legal redress, and we hope
it helps. But we still believe her best chance is to reconcile with her daughter-in-law.

Questions you should ask about travel insurance. The summer sees more people travelling over the border, making the most of the warm weather and school vacation. It’s also the time many discover they’re under-insured when they incur steep unexpected medical expenses in a foreign country. These can, however, be easily avoided by asking a few pertinent questions before you go. Do I need travel insurance for a quick trip across the border? Accidents are just as likely to happen on a day trip as any other day at home or at work. Driving on unknown routes could potentially increase the odds. As always, it’s best to ensure you’re fully covered. Does BC Medical Services Plan cover everything? Provincial health care is unlikely to cover all of your medical expenses incurred out of province, or overseas. In fact, the Canadian government recommends that travellers purchase travel insurance when leaving the country because of the extremely high cost of medical care outside of Canada. My credit card automatically covers that, right? You may not have adequate coverage through your credit card plan. Check to ensure you

Thanks to a group of Canadian doctors and nurses, the people of northern Uganda have had access to better medical care for the past few years. Apwoyo (Greetings) Gulu Friends was formed in 2011 with the goal of raising funds to be used towards providing education, medical and surgical supplies and equipment for the Lacor St. Mary’s Hospital in Gulu, the largest hospital in northern Uganda, with 474 beds funded mostly by charitable donations from the Corti Foundation. In association with CNIS (Canadian Network for International Surgery), Canadian doctors and nurses have been teaching and working at the hospital in Gulu for the past few years.

have medical coverage, not just travel accident insurance as there is a difference, and that the medical coverage meets your needs. Is my work travel insurance plan adequate for this trip? Many plans offered through employers lack certain options, like trip cancellation or interruption insurance. You can purchase these on their own to complement your company’s travel insurance. Also, some employee plans only cover the employee, so if you are travelling with your family, ask your insurance specialist about a family travel insurance plan, for both medical or trip cancellation/ interruption insurance. Do your research and ask the right questions. Visit a BCAA location and speak with an insurance specialist who will be happy to advise you, or visit bcaa.com/travelinsurance before you go and make the most of your trip.

Activity Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL You could be luckier than usual in the year ahead where well-established relationships are concerned. In fact, four friends might each figure prominently in helping you develop and further some important affairs.
PUZZLE NO. 203
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Instead of being given to you directly, a great opportunity might come your way through an intermediary. Be ready and prepared to expand upon what it offers.
ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203
HOW TO PLAY: Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: you must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box. 110620

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your ideas and those of your mate’s might not be too far apart, so instead of acting on your opinions alone, attempt to merge the two. It should prove to be the better way to go. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) If you look out only for your own interests, you’ll be putting limitations on what you can achieve. When you include others in your thoughts, greater rewards for everybody can be realized. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) The secret to success is to be a doer instead of merely a contemplator. If you fearlessly face your adversaries, you’ll find them to be paper dragons. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Several important interrelated situations can be satisfactorily finalized if you handle them in an orderly fashion instead of doing things in fits and starts. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Utilize your inquisitive faculties to more readily acquire valuable knowledge. What previously confused you will now become crystal clear. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Being unrealistically concerned about your financial affairs could cause you to make some bad decisions. You’ll work things out more constructively if you stay focused. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) A close friend of yours who has a good track record is likely to be the purveyor of some valuable
information. Have him or her repeat it over and over again until you fully understand it. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Even though you are anxious to resume control over an endeavor, it behooves you not to make any changes if things are running smoothly. Leave well enough alone. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You need to be openminded and flexible, just in case some unexpected changes need to be made in order to right a foundering situation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Making the most out of each new development as it occurs should help stabilize your position. Even if your strategy could never be a permanent fix, all it has to do is serve your present needs. CANCER (June 21-July 22) If you’ve been helping others advance an important endeavor, stay the course regardless of a change in leadership. Chances are, all will turn out well.
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.

MUSKRAT ON THE MOVE
Morning Star Staff
LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
A muskrat swims with a bullrush in its mouth near the Vernon Rowing and Paddling Centre in Swan Lake.
The ministry of agriculture has announced targeted funding from Canada and B.C. supported business development, innovation, food safety and sustainability under the Growing Forward Agreement in the third quarter of 201112. Growing Forward is a fiveyear framework that co-ordinates federal, provincial and territorial agriculture policy. Between Oct. 1, 2011 and Dec. 31, 2011, more than $1.9 million was given to organizations including the British Columbia Cattlemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association, which received $21,000 for phase two of a strategic environmental risk assessment-demonstration project. The British Columbia Fruit Growersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association received $25,500 for its invasive species in stone fruit and grapes in B.C. program, and a biosecurity implementation program.

But if Bette Davis were alive today and using one, I expect she would amend what she said, presumably after her fourth marriage ended in divorce in 1960: “I’d marry again if I found a man who had 15 million dollars, would sign over half to me, and guarantee that he’d be dead within a year.” In this deal, South is in three no-trump. West leads the heart nine in answer to his partner’s overcall in the suit. How can declarer guarantee his contract, regardless of the size of his bank account and his life expectancy? South did not like
jumping to three notrump with only three hearts to the queen, but nothing else stood out as better. (Remember that a two-no-trump response in this situation shows only 10 to 12 points.) South has five top tricks: two spades, one heart and two clubs. He can guarantee a second heart trick by playing low from the board at trick one. And surely the club suit can be established. The safe play is to put up dummy’s heart ace and to call for a low club. If East plays low, declarer should put in his nine. Here, though, East will probably split his honors, playing the jack or queen. (My style is to play the top of touching honors
in this situation.) South wins with his king and establishes the suit. He is now up to eight tricks (two spades, one heart and five clubs) and can get a ninth in one of the red suits. What happens if South plays low from the board at trick one? Tune in tomorrow to find out.

20 years is a long time to be without a father, thank you dad for what would be known now as Happy Meals, 7-11 money, hambone songs, chicken clucks and smarties, shoulder rides around the house, wheel barrow rides in the garden, spaghetti sharing and “sips” of beer.
5 years is also a long time to be without a mother, thank you mom for our last ride together, old American Jolly Joe candy, strange scary old people statues from Mexico, apple pie creating, driving me to swimming for years and years and years, volunteering with the Kokanees (I appreciate this now, then, I was irritated when you missed my race!), allowing me to rant and rave…even though I’d liked to have been challenged on this, not everyone has the patience with me as you did.
There is comfort in knowing you are always around, I may not be able to see or touch you, but I know you are near. Just one shout or thought, brings you to me Calling out to you just as I would if you were here on Earth. But now having to wait for my dreams to have questions answered. It is not easy when you feel all alone, No one understanding the emptiness inside, Only having support for the time they feel is enough Only to be shunned when that time has run out. I know you saw my pain and sadness I know it pained you to see me treated poorly, You did everything from above to comfort me. At that time, I could not see through the darkness I see now, it is clear and bright. Thank you for all the gifts you have provided in life and now in death. Thank you for loving me unconditionally and teaching me all that you know. Thank you for life and the strength to fight for it. Always on my mind and in my heart, Kimberley
