Guilty plea in syringe robbery

PUUUUUULLLLLLL

ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Urged on by their officers and staff, cadets from Alpha Training Group showed the best combination of teamwork and strength, winning the annual tug of war against the other groups at the Vernon Army Cadet Camp.

A man who threatened to rob a Vernon gas station with a syringe will stay in jail. Jason Justin Johnson, 30, pleaded guilty in Vernon Provincial Court to one count of armed robbery. He was sentenced to 42 months in jail, though he was given six months credit for time already served. Johnson was also given a lifetime firearms prohibition and must provide a DNA sample. On Feb. 15, just before 10 p.m., the night clerk at the Blue Moon Esso on 34th Street called police to report a robbery. A lone man entered the store, said it was a robbery, threatened the clerk with a syringe and demanded money from the register. He left on foot. Police checked out the store’s surveillance tapes and found a suspect matching the description of the robber a short time later near the Staples parking lot.

was the prime suspect in a November 2007 break-and-enter and charged with seven offences. In that case, a woman awakened to find a man standing in her bedroom. She barricaded herself in a bathroom and called police, telling them the culprit had fled in a Suzuki Swift. The car was stopped by police, but the driver led officers on a high-speed chase, which was called off when it reached a dangerous level. The Suzuki was found abandoned, and the driver – believed to be Poirier – was not located. Before any of those incidents, Poirier was found guilty of groping a woman in Abbotsford as she was putting groceries into her car after shopping in September 2005. He received a 30-day jail sentence.

The woman testified that Poirier had grabbed her buttocks as he brushed past her, according to court records. She was shaken by the incident, and drove home to her apartment building. The woman then saw Poirier in her underground parking lot and, when she asked him what he was doing there, he said his grandfather lived in the building. She suggested they walk to the front door, and he again grabbed her buttocks. The victim confronted Poirier, who ran from the scene, and she then phoned police. The woman identified Poirier in a photo lineup, and the Abbotsford provincial court trial judge found him guilty, saying that “the sexual integrity of the victim (had been) violated.” – with files from The Morning Star

North Okanagan home sales gaining strength Morning Star Staff

The local housing market is looking up. The Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board (OMREB) reported July 2012 sales activity of all MLS property types improved over the same month last year and the first seven months of 2011, as the housing market maintains stability and steady growth moving into the third quarter. “Things are continuing to look up in the Okanagan-Shuswap,” said Rob Shaw, OMREB president. “Housing sales have strengthened during the past four months, with the typical leveling off of activity in July as summer vacations begin and thoughts turn to camping, and boating.” Sales for the North Okanagan are on par with 2011. Listings and sales are slightly down in the Shuswap compared to last July. “Apartment and townhouse sales continue to improve in the Shuswap and North Okanagan,” said Shaw, as the North Okanagan reported a 37.5 per cent increase in apart-

ment sales for July, while townhouse sales were up 16.7 per cent from last year. “And, in the Shuswap, eight apartments were sold in July compared to zero in 2011, and townhouse sales rose 25 per cent.” Year-to-date,total residential sales improved over last year throughout the board area in 2012 – up 10 per cent in the North Okanagan and six per cent in the Shuswap. “The outlook is generally positive in our board area as the market continues to stabilize,” Shaw reports. “Inventory is still a bit high but coming down with the ongoing sales fuelled by pent-up demand and growing consumer confidence. “While new listings have levelled off during the past two months, the selection is still there for buyers. Record low interest rates are expected to continue to underpin home sales. However, the tightening of mortgage rules may affect affordability somewhat, especially for first-time buyers and consumers with less than 20 per

cent equity in their homes.” With the dynamics in the OMREB Board area,

there are up and down fluctuations in each zone monthly – depending on the community,

housing type and price point, notes Shaw. “Now more than ever, it is important for

anyone thinking of buying or selling to ask their realtor how their property type is currently far-

ing in the overall market and, more significantly, in their particular neighbourhood.”

He may not be competing in the Olympics, but Dylan Johnston is currently experiencing a golden opportunity in London. The Vernon resident is currently in London working at the Canada Olympic House in guests services, most of whom are representatives from government and athletic committees, sponsors, friends and families of the athletes, and sometimes even the athletes themselves. And whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Olympic atmosphere or a typical Canadian attitude, Johnston has noticed a friendliness amongst guests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guests from all over Canada greet each other as longtime friends, despite the fact that they may be meeting for the first time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this is the concept that really summarizes the Canada Olympic House,â&#x20AC;? said Johnston via e-mail from London. Johnston may not be taking in the events first-hand but the atmosphere is more than enough to make his Olympic experience memorable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the great benefits of being a part of the Canadian Olympic House is the atmosphere of the building itself. London is crowded with giddy foreigners visiting for the Olympics and is in great spirits. People fraternize and cheer in the streets and at the venues,â&#x20AC;? said Johnston. Even the train ride into the city from his home in Surrey (near London) is a highlight for Johnston. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes about an hour but is amazing to see the contrast between the vibrant, loud and busy city of London and the relative quaintness of the countryside where they are celebrating, just not whooping in the streets,â&#x20AC;? said Johnston.

Neighbouring support on track for Kidston path ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee recommends support for phase two of multiuse pathway project in Coldstream. The district is proposing to build a threemetre-wide multi-use path on the east side of Kidston Road, which would go to the southeast corner of Kidston and Coldstream Creek Road. “We’re not asking for funding, just asking for a letter of support to be approved to build this path which will give people the ability to walk and ride, and have access to Kal Lake Provincial Park,” said Jim Garlick, GVAC director and Coldstream mayor. Phase one of the Kidston Road multi-use path was completed in October 2011, connecting the Palfrey Road pathway to the red gate entrance at the provin-

cial park. The district wrote in a letter to GVAC that the path and trail network in the provincial park is a “regional draw, frequently used by joggers, naturalists, bird watchers, pedestrians, bicyclists, horseback riders and tourists.” The path will also provide a safety and accessibility aspect for all users. GVAC directors unanimously agreed to recommend a letter of support for phase two. Funding application on hold One project at a time. GVAC directors were advised that an application to the national Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund to help with costs on a Kal Beach enhancement project will have to wait. Tannis Nelson, community development coordinator with

the Regional District of North Okanagan, explained that there is a cap of $250,000 funding for applications. “My original understanding was that was per project, so I thought we might able to get in a couple (of applications), but no,” said Nelson. So, because the regional district is applying for funding to put in broadband internet service in Cherryville, they will now apply for Kal Beach improvement funding – with no guarantees – in November. Directors unanimously approved support of a request for $70,825 be approved in the regional district’s 2013 capital budget. That will be the district’s cost-sharing portion of funding for the Kal Beach project, which will see the washroom building get upgraded. Total cost of the project is projected at just under $271,000. A planned walkway

Drivers race through weekend ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Hot August long weekend temperatures did not dry out RCMP officers’ pens. Members of the North Okanagan Traffic Services and Integrated Road Safety Unit were kept very busy writing violations. “There were very heavy volumes of traffic over the long weekend,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The biggest issue was people in a hurry. RCMP officers wrote 86 speeding tickets, and one vehicle was impounded

for excessive speed (40 km/h or more over the posted speed limit). Sixteen motorists were given tickets for seatbelt violations and there were 36 other violations. Three 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibitions were issued and two drivers were given 24-hour prohibitions involving alcohol. Four people were ticketed for using an electronic device while driving. One ticket was issued to a driver who was prohibited from being behind the wheel, and police issued 20 written warnings. There were also two minor drug seizures.

across the sand to the pier has been taken out of the application due to cost concerns.

Bridge fixture Bridges and a boardwalk along the BX Creek Trail and BX Falls Trail

damaged by recent flooding need to be fixed. Directors voted unanimously to recom-

mend spending $57,000 from reserves to replace two bridges and a small section of boardwalk.

Lights out

t first it didn’t bother me that much when the power went off in the storm Monday night. Since I have no television or computer I would not even have noticed for awhile if I had not been talking on the phone and it suddenly went dead. Since I had mentioned the storm, I assumed my caller, who was far away, would not be offended by the sudden cut off and would get back to me later. I picked up my book and went back to reading outside, telling myself that I could listen to music when it got too dark to read, then I realized that no music was going to happen without electricity. Again, no modern portable devices, so there I was in the dark. The book was a mystery and I just had to Cara Brady finish it so I lit a candle and got to the end. Then I took my dog for a walk in the dusk. The streets were strangely and pleasantly quiet, with candles and lanterns visible on some porches and patios. Solar lights lit gardens here and there. I had a bath while the water was still hot and while I missed the fan in the bedroom, it was comfortably dark without the street light shining in. I hoped no one was going to take advantage of the power outage for some looting and pillaging anywhere but the alarms are on batteries for these occasions and I didn’t hear about any incidents later. I wondered if the hospital was in the affected area but felt reassured that it would have an emergency generator to carry on. I remembered a time a few years ago when the power was out and I had to drive across town. Drivers responded sensibly by treating intersections with no working lights as four-way stops and multi-lanes of traffic moved smoothly, at least as well as with lights because everyone was considerate. Then I thought about how life had carried on around the world for centuries without electricity, homes and cathedrals built, families raised, crops harvested, wars fought, travels undertaken by the brave, curious or pursued. While I would not want to live without the conveniences made possible by electricity, I know it is possible. It was and still is for many people.

I grew up in a rural area where we still had clean clothes, a warm home and light to read at night. Everyone, especially the women, worked harder physically then. It was impossible not to think about the new electricity meters. I have heard a lot about them and I am not sure what is true and what is not. I don’t know what it would be like if my power could be disrupted by something going amiss hundreds or even thousands of miles away at some unknown location. When the problem is as visible as a tree down over a power line, we know that local, knowledgeable crews can be at the scene to get the power restored as quickly and safely as possible. I don’t like to think about being left in the dark and silence some time in the future with no idea of what happened or when it might be fixed. Our society simply could not function with a prolonged and/or widespread power outage. I guess I don’t like the idea, and it does seem, at least in my small technology theory world, that something like this could happen, of the power being taken over by groups or individuals for their own purposes, as could be done by computer. Or, more subtly, and more probably, of power being controlled and manipulated by unregulated forces for profit or influence. Yes, I am fearful, as many people are, maybe with no reason, because with all the information there is no way to know what to believe. Having so much information has made us smart enough to know that we can’t believe everything we hear but left us with no way to be certain about anything. We are told that now our electricity is managed by a government-regulated company which should provide some accountability. At a time when we are being advised to look more to our local economy for everything from food to transportation, a basic utility seems to be slipping away from local oversight. On Monday night, it was obvious that the power outage was related to the storm and past experience said that it was fixable and that local people knew what had happened and would deal with it, as they had done ably in the past. I am one small power user, I don’t use much and I try to use it wisely but I want it to be there when I need it for a hot bath or cool coconut yoghurt. A short outage due to understandable causes is something to be dealt with, an unavoidable necessity at times. Life is like that.

It would appear there are mixed feelings towards the City of Vernon’s barriers at Kin Beach. An online poll at vernonmorningstar.com shows that just over half, 56 per cent, of the 200-something respondents are in favour, while 43 per cent are opposed to the barriers. The city lined the concrete blocks along Lakeshore Road in July to prevent vehicles from driving onto the sandy shores of the beach. It was a co-operative approach taken to clean up the Okanagan Indian Band portion of Kin. With vehicles no longer littering the sand, there is obviously a lot more room for families to safely enjoy the water. But now the vehicles are littering the road. Cars are parked bumper-tobumper alongside Lakeshore Road, congesting the area and creating a safety hazard. At the time of installation the Okanagan Indian Band said: “the safety of beachgoers is paramount to us.” A sentiment that was echoed by the city. It was thought that by removing vehicles from the beach, the potential for injury would also be removed. But now, all the cars along the roadway leave little room to spot a small child who might dart out across the road on their way to a day of fun in the sun. So while the city and Indian Band have done their part in the safety equation (and plans are in the works for proper parking), for now it’s up to the rest of the public to fill in their share. That means using extreme caution, whether you’re a motorist, or a beachgoer while in the area. With summer in full swing, all local beaches are busy, and the last thing we – the media – want is to report on any avoidable accidents.

Hospital staff worthy of praise

y family and I would like to thank Vernon Jubilee Hospital and all of their wonderful friendly staff. On June 15 our daughter Giani Kendyl Maracle was born at 12:24 p.m. If it weren't for the expertise and speed of their staff she would not be here. Dr. Ken Upton was on call that day and discovered that I would need an emergency c-section. The speed of the nurses and the doctors was amazing. They did not waste any valuable time. They are very well trained and when an emergency occurs their staff was right on target. I kept telling them not to worry about me but to save my baby. Saying thank you will never seem enough. There are so many people we would like to thank starting with the nurses. There are so many wonderful nurses that are employed there but a few stand out in my mind.

HELMETS SAVE LIVES On June 10 I fell off my bicycle (doing about 35kph) on Pleasant Valley Road. My injuries included a broken pelvis, some road rash and a whack on the head. I was sent to Vancouver General Hospital where I was operated on successfully. While there, the Vancouver city council was debating to do away with the helmet law. Apparently none of those councillors had ever had an accident falling from a bicycle as no one in their right-thinking mind would even consider such an action. I have always worn a helmet, never even thought of not wearing it. I ignored people that preferred the air flowing through their hair over safety. Now that I am home, I have seen my helmet from the crash: the helmet was broken which accounted for the bump on my head and a temporary loss of consciousness.

I would like to thank Sherri and Michelle who were there when we need-

My helmet saved my life! I am temporarily inconvenienced until next spring which is worse than what would have happened if I hadn't worn my helmet. Hopefully, someone out there that used to ride without a helmet, will read this and decide they shouldn't be doing such! Bob Johnston SMART METERS If there are those in our communities and in our nations who think that the smart meter issue is losing steam and that the discussion has taken place and it is time to move on, then those individuals ought to have been at the Drill Hall in Enderby recently. An overflow crowd estimated to be upwards of 300 concerned citizens wedged their overheated bodies onto uncomfortable wooden chairs in the non-air-conditioned atmosphere of this historic structure to witness the expert testimonies of three experienced,

that we are witnessing today the largest technological experiment in the history of the world without the knowledge or consent of its uninformed subjects. We, are those subjects. Globally all living organisms are on the brink of extinction. After the bees are gone, humanity has 50 years left to speculate. During the course of the evening a letter, addressed to the Prime Minister of Canada was read outlining the security threat that faces Canada and any nation foolish enough to rely on a wireless power ‘smart grid’ network. This leaves one to consider then, that since there is no benefit to mankind from wireless technology, except for questionable convenience and entertainment aspects, the only benefit is to those wealthy promoters who stand to add to their wealth and corporate power networks at the expense of the environment of all living things.

Make no mistake however, this is being met head-on by one of the most ferocious oppositions to ever be mounted by an indignant, angry and endangered population. The audience heard how involuntary wireless technology, proliferated in all its many invisible forms, is blasting and bombarding entire populations with electro-magnetic frequencies that are threatening their mental and physical health, according to many nations’ medical standards. These developments include Wi-Fi, microwave ovens, cellular and cordless phones, wireless routers, all wireless monitors including baby monitors, TV remotes, garage door openers, etc., and smart meters with their accompanying routers and collectors.

ed you most and recognizing the seriousness of my situation and not wasting

any time in calling for the doctor. The doctors were wonderful in bringing our beautiful baby girl into this world. We would like to thank four specific doctors that were there that day. Their names are Ken Upton, Michael Cook, Johann Barnard and Chris Mobbs. There were other doctors and nurses in the OR that assisted with my surgery and we would like to thank them also. A very big thank you is to Dr. Ken Upton who was there for me and our baby. We named our baby after her daddy who had to fight to live as well but gave a middle name of Kendyl in honor of the man who saved her life. Thank yous can never be enough and our praises of such a wonderful hospital staff will never go unnoticed. So I will say again thank you Vernon Jubilee Hospital and staff for being there when we needed you most. Sarah and Jonathan Maracle

At first glance, watching a dragon boat glide through the water might look as easy and as fluid as a couple in a canoe. But the two couldn’t be further apart, aside from the fact that both involve a boat, paddles and water. By comparison, a canoe can weigh anywhere between 30 and 60 pounds whereas a dragon boat can get as high as 850 pounds. Of course in order to push that much weight through the water, more than a couple of lovebirds are needed. According to Val Trevis, who along with Ken Francis coach the Vernon mixed-team Poseidon’s Fury, team sports like hockey or soccer don’t compare to the teamwork needed in dragon boating. “It’s just one of those amazing sports for camaraderie. You might be able to score a goal in soccer alone, but you can’t get to the finish in a dragon boat alone,” said Trevis. Typically dragon boats are made up of 22 paddlers, a drummer and a steerer. A successful race is dependant on all 24 members keeping a rhythm in unison from the start of a race to the finish.

Members of Poseidon’s Fury paddle at a dragon boat festival. The rec mixed team is always looking for new paddlers and will be participating in the Vernon Dragon Boat Festival Aug. 18. Numbers for Poseidon’s Fury are steady for now but they could always use a few new members. “Our numbers are pretty bang-on, but we’re always looking to get people to come out and try it,” said Trevis. Team numbers may be stable for now, but they’re used to seeing more members and a rainy spring may have deterred new members from joining. “No one really wants to go out in the rain, but it’s a water sport, you’re probably going to get wet anyway,” said Jamie Swan, a paddler on Poseidon’s Fury. At 25-years-old, Swan is in her second year of paddling and after attending an orientation day last year she was immediately hooked.

Dragon boating has numerous health benefits, which is why people like Swan are joining dragon boat teams. “It’s just a different workout if you’re looking for something active,” said Swan. “It’s a whole body workout, you use your legs, most of your core, and actually very little of your arms.” Swan also insists it’s also a good way to let off some steam at the end of a stressful day “It’s nice if you have aggressions, you just go out in the water and get them all out. Most people who have had a bad day feel better afterwards.” Joining Poseidon’s Fury as rec-teams in Vernon are the Dragon Riders, an all-ladies team and the Buoyant Buddies, the breast cancer survivor team.

All three teams practise twice a week and all plan on taking part in the Prospera Vernon Dragon Boat Festival, which hits Kalamalka Lake Saturday, August 18. The event is steadily growing since Vernon Go Row and Paddle took over organizing the event. Race entries have capped at 28 teams this year, which is eight more than last year’s entries. “We want to grow it gradually, but dragon boat festivals can become huge for a community,” said Lisa George of Go Row and Paddle in Vernon. With race entries currently full for this year’s event, Go Row and Paddle still encourages people to try dragon boating in hopes of getting more teams for years to come. “We want to make it an event that promotes sport within the community and draws all ages and abilities to a day of racing,” said George. After last years festival raised $8,300 for the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation, a goal of $10,000 has been set for this year’s festival. Spectators are more than welcome to catch some of the race action from the docks or the beach at Kal. Races get underway at 8:30 a.m. and run throughout the entire day with the final race of the day hitting the water at 3:15 p.m. For more information on the festival visit www. gorowandpaddle.org If you’d like to try dragon boating with Vernon’s mixed-team contact Val Trevis at 250558-5518 or e-mail her at val_trevis@telus.net.

Review fine with district Morning Star Staff

Lake Country has its arms open to a boundary review with one of its neighbours. The City of Kelowna recenty announced that they will begin a boundary review process following a request by Lake Country council in the spring. The district sees this as a welcome opportunity to work collaboratively with Kelowna to tidy up some boundary issues. “This is a leadership opportunity for the district and the city to go even further and consider some minor changes James Baker to other areas already serviced by the district, such as the southernmost part of Shanks Road, and a portion of Glenmore Road,” said Alberto De Feo, chief administrative officer. “Fixing the erratic nature of our shared boundary will go a long way to simplifying our mutual servicing challenges, and serve to build lasting neighborly relations between our municipalities.” Earlier this spring, Lake Country and Kelowna staff discussed the mutual benefits of a boundary rationalization, noting that the 39.5 hectare area situated to the north of Beaver Lake Road has created challenges in the past with servicing as some properties and even buildings are bisected by the shared boundary. The current boundaries were set by Kelowna prior to the incorporation of Lake Country, and

Police probe club mischief Morning Star Staff

A break-in to the Westwold Outdoor Club has Falkland RCMP asking the public for help identifying the suspects. Police believe the break-in at the club, located on Back Road, occurred between the hours of 5 p.m. July 25 and 10 a.m. July 26. Unknown suspects gained entry into the club and damaged its interior. Estimated cost of the damage is approximately $300. Anyone with any information is asked to call the Falkland detachment, attention Const. Komlos, at 250-379-2311, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

boundary relocations can be a complicated process, so it is now time to engage in more meaningful dialogue so growth and development can be effectively managed. “I hope this process can resolve some jurisdictional issues and regularize the boundaries in a way that services are provided in an easier way for residents,” said Lake Country Mayor James Baker. “This is a good start to getting the boundaries rationalized; and it really is a tripartite process considering the Okanagan Indian Band’s interests as well.” Residents and businesses in the affected areas will be asked for their input into the process. More information will be available as options regarding governance are considered by staff and councils of all three parties.

Rachael Ganson loves O’Keefe Ranch. And, given the ranch’s long history in the township, the Spallumcheen councillor felt it was the perfect spot to celebrate a birthday. The official birthday party for the township will be Sunday at Historic O’Keefe Ranch from noon to 4 p.m. “I’m thrilled to be able to have the party at O’Keefe Ranch,” said Ganson, who has Rachael Ganson been organizing Spallumcheen’s 120th birthday events. “We hope people come out and discover what’s at the ranch and have a blast.”

Some of the activities will include a toonie corn roast, toy giveaways for the kids, birthday cake, toonie pony rides, O’Keefe mansion tours, tractor-pulled hayrides and a photo booth complete with old-time props for a take-home souvenir from the celebration. But the highlight, said Ganson, will be an old-time farmers market. “We will have at least 20 vendors showcasing Spallumcheen farmers,” said Ganson. Admission to the party is free for Spallumcheen residents, who simply must show some form of ID proving they live in the township or else present the green ticket that was included in this year’s tax notice. The birthday celebration is just one of many events being planned throughout the township for the duration of 2012 to help Spallumcheen celebrate its 120th birthday.

reports, the pilot of the Skyhawk Cessna 172 had just taken off from the airport in Salmon Arm. When the plane had difficulty maintaining elevation, the pilot attempted to turn back to the airport but was forced to make an emergency landing. She landed in a recently ploughed farmer’s field near the former KAO Campground off Highway 97B and 10th Avenue NE. The aircraft sank into the soft dirt and then flipped onto its roof. Fortunately, the wreckage did not catch fire. Occupants of the plane were taken to hospital for examination. The three passengers were released and the pilot remained in hospital. Salmon Arm RCMP report that all four suffered non-lifethreatening injuries. A spokesperson for the Transportation Safety Board says the accident has been deemed a Class 5, meaning the board will not be doing a full investigation or final report. The decision was made, she said, because doing an investigation would not “advance transportation safety.” No names have been released.

Event feasts on Okanagan fields Watch for your Rereation Services Fall Leisure Guide Delivered in The Morning Star on Sunday, August 12/12

JUDIE STEEVES Black Press

FarmFolk/CityFolk’s annual Feast of Fields returns to the Okanagan’s Claremont Ranch Organics in Lake Country Sunday. This is the fourth Feast of Fields to be held in the Okanagan Valley, although similar events have been held in the Lower Mainland since 1995, and on Vancouver Island for the past number of years. Participants will be handed a wine glass and linen napkin when they arrive at the farm for the event which goes from 1 to 5 p.m. Dozens of the valley’s top chefs, winemakers and brewmasters will offer tastes of locally-sourced, seasonal foods, often made from products grown right in the fields where the event is held.

This year, 58 producers will feature products from more than 40 local farms, including Kelowna chef Rod Butters’ honey glazed Sterling Springs’ chicken with dried apricot and hazelnut crust. It will be paired with an infused apricot cocktail using Meadow Vista Honey Wines. The Vintage Room at the Coast Capri will be offering pulled bison and plum ravioli with peppered Saskatoon berry dust on arugula, while Poppadoms will offer an Okanagan saag paneer pakora. The idea is to help consumers make that link between the food that goes into their mouths and the farms on which it is produced. At the same time, chefs delight in preparing food that is as fresh as possible – and to serve it in the field it was grown in, makes it pretty fresh. The host farm this year was the McCoubrey Farm until Matt and Molly Thurston purchased it last year and returned its original name to the property, Claremont Ranch. They’re celebrating the 100th anniversary of the farm this year. They have an orchard and also a market garden, so can offer a variety of fresh produce to chefs participating. There won’t be onsite parking so a shuttle bus will take participants from George Elliot Secondary School to the farm. Live music will include Sarah Mainland and her Celtic harp; Chloe, Kyle & Company; Scratchpony; Jennifer Boal; Becca Mabbett; Quiannah Kendal-Ward and Alexandria Colter. In addition to fine food and drink, there’ll be farm tours at 2 and 4 p.m. and a variety of silent auction items as well as a marketplace where local products will be available. Funds raised go towards the work of FarmFolk CityFolk, including the Meet Your Maker Okanagan which helps local producers and buyers meet and network; a seed saving workshop at Sunshine Farm in Kelowna as part of the B.C. Seeds project; and Shared Harvest, an online resource for those wanting products, or having products available. Tickets for this year’s event are available from Choices Market in Kelowna or online at: www. feastoffields.com

For eight years, Vernon residents have joined together on the last Sunday in January to raise money and awareness for families impacted by dementia at the Investors Group Walk for Memories. Now, the Alzheimer Society of B.C. is calling for volunteer leaders to help plan and coordinate this cherished community event in 2013. “The Investors Group Walk for Memories has long been a grassroots, community-driven event,” said Jean Blake, CEO of the Alzheimer Society of B.C. “Volunteer committees in communities around the province bring life and heart to the event, which goes a long way to aid the fight against Alzheimer’s disease while honouring local families on the dementia journey.” Participants join the walk to celebrate the life of someone who has been impacted by Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia, and to raise money for Alzheimer Society of B.C. programs and services in their community that can help. Money raised is also invested into research for a cure. In 2012, the Vernon Walk raised an impressive $28,000 for the cause. Volunteers take the lead in their community by organizing the logistics of the walk, as well as promoting the event locally and recruiting participant teams. The Alzheimer Society of B.C. provides training and on-going support. For more information about volunteer positions with the 2013 Investors Group Walk for Memories, please contact Janis McKell at JMcKell@alzheimerbc. org or 1-800-667-3742.

A new holiday on track for B.C. is being celebrated with savings for skiers throughout B.C., including those heading up to Silver Star. The province’s first Family Day - Monday, Feb. 11, 2013, will allow B.C. residents a chance at half price lift tickets. The Star is part of Canada West Ski Areas Association’s B.C. Family Day ski promotion, announced in celebration of Family Day. “We expect the addition of the Family Day holiday will boost the economy and the tourism industry in B.C.,” said Pat Bell, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation. “This new February holiday is an opportunity for British Columbians to share time with their families while supporting our local ski industry and hotel and food operators.” The holidays also created — David Lynn significant opportunities for the B.C. Ski and Tourism Industries, by avoiding an overlap with similar holidays in other jurisdictions, on which many B.C. ski resorts are typically operating at capacity. In light of the timing of B.C.’s new statutory holiday, B.C. residents can purchase lift tickets 50 per cent off for use on Feb. 11 at the following resorts: - Apex Mountain Resort - Mount Seymour - Big White Ski Resort - Mount Washington Alpine Resort - Crystal Mountain Resort - Panorama Mountain Village - Fernie Alpine Resort - Red Mountain - Grouse Mountain - Revelstoke Mountain Resort - Hemlock Resort - Silver Star Mountain Resort - Kicking Horse Mountain Resort - Sun Peaks Resort - Kimberley Alpine Resort - Whistler-Blackcomb - Lost Lake Cross Country - Whistler Olympic Park - Manning Park Resort - Whitewater Ski Resort “From abundant snow to stunning scenery, B.C. ski resorts offer a diverse variety of world-class skiing,” said David Lynn, President and CEO, Canada West Ski Areas Association. “We are very excited to be able to celebrate the first BC Family Day by providing B.C. families with the opportunity to experience B.C. skiing at half the regular price. “We hope that British Columbians take advantage of this fun and healthy way to enjoy the first B.C. Family Day.”

“B.C. offers a diverse variety of worldclass ski resorts.”

Three teams chasing league title Morning Star Staff

The North Okanagan Soccer League title won’t be decided until the final game of the regular season next Wednesday night. All three teams battling for the crown posted lopsided victories Wednesday night, with Turn-Key Controls grounding Monashee Surveying 5-1 at Marshall Field #1 for their seventh straight win. North Enderby Timber ambushed the Salmon Arm Outlaws 9-1 after stuffing the Outlaws 4-0 in a make-up game Monday, to take over sole possession of first place, while the Revelstoke Stallions stopped Concept Physio 5-0. The Timber (12-3-2) can clinch the title Wednesday with a win over Davidson & Co. Dynamite. Turn-Key, who are one point back of NET, finishes against the ninth-place Outlaws. The playoffs open Sunday, Aug. 19 and continue Wednesday, Aug. 22 and Sunday, Aug. 26 (final). Turn-Key (12-4-1) used a big second half to defeat Monashee. The Controls squad opened the scoring early in the first half when Nolan’s Pharmasave Man of the Match Evan Moore buried a left-footed shot past keeper Ryan Sharp. Turn-Key enjoyed numerous chances early on against the shorthanded Surveyors, but it was Monashee who equalized when Alberto Lopez picked off a duffer shot by keeper Jeremy Kler and chipped it into the net. The second half saw Turn-Key use their youthful legs against the tiring Monashee squad, opening the scoring early when Andrew Pool overtook Preston Tucker for the team lead in goals, converting a pass from Taylor Horsting into the top corner. Greg Niemantsverdriet put the Controllers up 3-1 with a well-placed strike from the 18-yard box after some great work from Marco Arnold on left wing. The Turn-Key defence of Carson Haywood-Farmer, Bryce Paterson, Alex Nolan, Sean Bonnett, Tyler Flood and Sam Nolan were solid all night in front of Kler, and were rewarded with a goal when Sam Nolan streaked through the defence and drilled a

goal of the night as Graham Ross sent a ball to John Farina, coming out of retirement for the night, who then flicked a perfect ball to Poulsen for an easy finish. Ross was named the Boston Pizza Man of the Match with four assists from the back line.

Alberto Lopez (left) of Monashee Surveying goes in for a slide tackle on Brendan Love of Turn-Key Controls in North Okanagan Men’s Soccer League play Wednesday night at Marshall Field. world-class, left-footed strike into the top corner for his first goal of the season. Arnold put Turn-Key up for good when he danced around Sharp and scored the fifth goal with little time remaining. Turn-Key will be engaging in some friendly internal competition this weekend with the squad split in half, forming two teams (Suns Out Guns Out, Win The Night), for the competitive division of the annual NOU Co-Ed Tournament. Sharp was commended for volunteering to play goal despite being injured, while props also went to Chandler Marsh, who is off to brighten his future with school in Saskatchewan.

Brent Poulsen pulled the hat trick and the Outlaws had an own goal as NET blanked the host Outlaws in a stormy, shortened Monday game. Danny Stein earned the shutout, making a save when needed as the Timber controlled the play for most of the 70 minutes. On Wednesday night at Marshall #2, the Timber didn’t slow down and got three goals apiece from Dexter James and Poulsen. Stein came out of net at halftime and scored a deuce, while Alex Farina capped off the scoring. NET’s elder statesmen combined for the

The Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels FC shaded the Nation of Domination Eagle Homes 3-2 at Marshall #4. Both teams had a hard time maintaining possession as simple mistakes were often made on both sides. As the first half wore on, the Camels started to create more chances and tested the NOD defence on a number of occasions. NOD had little to offer until late in the half when with their first real chance, a cross, confused the Camels’ back line and they took the lead. Undeterred, the Camels played more patient soccer in the second half, and within 10 minutes, levelled the score. Austin Jones pulled the NOD defenders outside the box and crossed over the keeper for the onrushing Trevor Rachwalski to bury the ball from one yard out. With some weight off their shoulders, the Camels played a more relaxed style and not long after, simple passing in the midfield found Nathan Whitling in lots of space. Whitling stepped forward with the ball unchallenged and fired a dipping rocket into the top corner from 20 yards out. NOD tried some long balls but keeper Shawn Campbell stayed very alert and calmed the nerves with aggressive play. As the Camels kept NOD on their toes, a defensive error presented Jones with the ball just outside the box. He stepped in to the area and turned the keeper. NOD scored with a minute to go. Concept Physio started with just seven players in the 6:30 kick-off against 11-4-2 Revelstoke, getting a full roster 30 minutes into the game. Left winger Brock Ream and keeper Chris Harris had fabulous showings for Concept (1-12-3).

Controllers clip Chick Kickers in Masters showdown Morning Star Staff

It was the feature game of the week in the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division Tuesday night at Marshall Field #3, with the front-running Chick Kickers up against the Controllers. The Controllers needed success to stay in the race for top spot overall and they delivered an exciting 3-2 victory, moving to within two points of the Kickers. Both teams had to start with 10 players and the Chick Kickers opened with a goal in the seventh minute as Jen Sorochuck took a great cross from Mel Jacobs and went in all alone with keeper Charlene Johnson having no chance. A minute later, Jen Currie equalized for the Controllers when Ang Durfeld and Leslie Epp worked a give-and-go with Epp’s cross finding Currie, who left-footed it back across, fooling the keeper. Colline Johnson then scored on a penalty kick, awarded after Jodi Pope tripped a Kicker just inside the 18. Johnson

went down early in the second half with a knee injury giving the Chicks nine players to finish the game. “Full marks to referee Nick Pantaleo for conferring with his assistant and making the right call just inside the 18,” said Controller midfielder Jacquie Nuyens. Tied 2-2 at the half, Controller keeper Mickey Templeton made a great diving save from a hard drive at the top of the 18. Felicia O’Gorman’s corner kick went to Krista Backer, who settled the ball and laid it back to Val Percy, who went roof daddy to put the Controllers in front. With less than 10 minutes remaining, Sorochuk went in alone on a breakaway looking to tie the game. She deked Templeton, who made a tremendous save, diving backward and grabbing the ball with one arm. The back line of Percy, Pope and Brandi Hunter had there hands full as the Chick Kickers mounted a strong attack. Currie and Templeton shared the honors as the Bellini Lady of the Match.

The Controllers went to 12-3-2, while the Chick Kickers dipped to 13-2-1 with three weeks left in the schedule. After a month of vacation, it took Goplen’s Drillers’ leading scorer Lena Urquhart just four minutes to post her first of three goals on the night Tuesday in a 6-4 win over Seasons Sista’s at Marshall Field #1. Urquhart took a perfect through ball from midfielder Nancy Nickoli and calmly put the ball high over the keeper’s head for her first goal. Geri O’Brien recorded the first of her two goals at 17 minutes when Michelle Loxam put the ball into the 18-yard box, and it rebounded off the keeper to O’Brien. Five minutes later, Michelle Connolly sent a through ball to O’Brien who buried a great high shot. At 35 minutes, Claudia Cull fed Urquhart, with the ball going to the keeper who was unable to control the ball and Urquhart intercepted and converted.

Drillers strike success on offence Continued from A24 Just one minute later, midfielder Aggie Golosinski sent a sweet through ball to the speedy Cull who ran onto the ball, beat the keeper and put in a superb left-footed shot into the far corner. The Drillers were up 5-0 at the half and got one more goal from Urquhart 10 minutes into the second half. Urquhart and Loxam worked an excellent give-and-go for Urquhart’s hat trick goal. It was the Drillers’ best offensive result this season. Defenders Tracey Hill, Kylah Bryde, Jodi Peshko, Karen Zupp and Robyn Sherwood were solid on the back line, while midfielders playing excellent two-way games included Caylee Secretan, Maura McCarthy, and Karinda McGaw. Keeper Shaun Nickoli made several great saves to preserve the 4-12-1 Driller win. The 0-16-1 Sista’s played defensively for most of the first half, but were unable to show results for the few chances they did drum up. However, things did turn around in the second half as Kim Sylvester received a beauty pass from Sacha Schenker, beating defenders and passing it neatly inside the left post, just past Nickoli. Shortly after, the roadrunner Sylvester once again worked around a few defenders to catch a feed from Andrea Zubot and drill a shot from outside the 18 into the far right corner. Midway through the half, Sylvester delivered a corner to Kateri Mills in front of the net. Mills had a shot ricochet off a defender to the feet of Schenker, who threaded the needle through defence, offence, keeper and passersby for her first of the night. Strategic play by Mills and Zubot from a corner eventually had Zubot dump it in front of the net to Schenker who once again converted a smart shot. Defensive props go to Sherry Wiebe and Juanita Garner. The two Wendys – Horner and Kowalchuk – worked some nice giveand-goes. Deb Whitling had a turn up front and caused some chaos for the Drillers’ defence while Lelsey Williams worked hard in the middle. Newbie Darlene Toews made several great passes, showing grit and growth in her play. Keeper Suzyn August never lost heart after the first half, keeping the Sista’s competitive with some great saves.

Impact rub out Rosters Myra McEwan supplied four goals as the Longhorn Impact ambushed Rosters 8-1 at Marshall Field #2.

Nancy Nichols (2), Kim Weibe and Heather Findlay rounded out the Impact (12-2-2) offence. The Longhorn girls utilized the whole team in different positions to mix things up, and Janelle Smithson was stellar with awesome crosses into the box feeding the tricky McEwan. Nichols was instrumental in the midfield trapping the opposing goal kicks and sending the ball back in for Findlay, who tapped the ball in nicely. McEwan walked in two goals, Weibe beat keeper Gennie-May Deines on a one-onone, waiting patiently for May-Deines to commit before chipping it over her head.

TED stops United Second-place TED United brushed back Vernon Liquor Store North Okanagan United 3-1 at Marshall #3. An own goal from the NOU defence started things off for TED, who had to work hard for any attacks. Darlene Weiss was on the top of her game shutting down the TED offence and even stopping a penalty kick, awarded after a takedown in the 18. The second TED goal came off a breakaway. TED went up 3-0 after a shot to the crossbar above Darlene’s head was assisted into the net by another NOU defender in her attempt to knock it free. NOU answered back with dignity and precision as the ball was sent up the sidelines to the ever-ready Sue Barss, who calmly crossed the ball to the front of the six-yard line, catching a bit of Lena Dean before being buried by the strong and skilled Sarah Kwantes. Wendy Stevens chased her birthday goal but settled for setting up some attacks with her calm manner. Awesome quick-fire moves were turned in by Tania Willett and Teresa Collins, who were always first to the ball with aggressive steals, showing their strength and no-nonsense attitudes.

Jasmine Whitling scored a beautiful long shot that sailed high over the keeper’s hands. Elaine Huisken scored the last goal after a scramble in the 18-yard box she beat the defender and neatly put the ball in the net. Huisken had a great game with many good runs up the side and some gorgeous crosses. Kira Lee used Blazer keeper Katie Hatten for shooting practice with several shots on net without finding the net. The 7-6-2 Outlaws’ defence was solid all night, keeping Blazer scoring chances to a minimum and making many good runs. Lisa Stewart was tireless in the midfield, while Stephanie Contin and Whitling had great games in the middle.

The Blazers allowed three quick goals to start the game while waiting for their two key defenders to arrive late from work. In the 20th minute, Blazer striker Marjorie Boisvert crashed the Little Tex net, knocking in a rebound off a Bryanna Cole shot. Minutes later, Caleeda Ross put the Blazers within one with a rocket from 45 yards, putting it over the head of the Little Tex keeper. Shantell Hayhurst earned the assist. Little Tex responded to take a 4-2 lead to end the half. The second half saw a scoreless battle. Forwards Krista Ference, Kailee Streichert and Carissa Morneau ran tirelessly getting several quality scoring chances. Blazer defenders Amber Maltman, Jeanette Maleska and Jessica Brewis had stellar performances. Hatten made several tough saves to keep the Blazers close.

Silver Star scores archery bull’s-eye Morning Star Staff

Nearly 300 competitors took aim at the 3D Archery Nationals over the B.C. Day long weekend at Silver Star Mountain Resort. Staged in the forest, and on the trails around the resort, the three-day event was a joint effort by the Vernon, Armstrong, Enderby and Salmon Arm Fish and Game Clubs. Competitors had to hike through the forest on designated trails to test their accuracy against three-dimensional (3D) foam targets of wildlife. Similar to golf, a foursome of competitors head out together for about four hours and work their way around a course. “When we were approached by the organizing committee, our first concern was for the safety of our regular clientele and the residents in the community,” said Robin Baycroft, resort services manager for Silver Star. “Once we met with the organizers and had a better understanding of the sport, and the precautions that would be in place, we knew we could make it work and were interested in the opportunity to have a busy weekend for our accommodation and restaurants during

the summer.” Leon Meier, head organizer, said the profits from the event will be donated to Vernon Hospice House. Six-year-old Daniel Meier, an archery newcomer, opened the event by firing a ceremonial arrow released toward a target. The tourney featured three different courses, covering every terrain from dense forest to open ski runs to alpine. Many competitors were amazed by the spectacular scenery. “I have competed in 3D Archery for 11 years, many times been to nationals, even represented Canada at the world championships, and nothing has compared to the quality of the courses, the amenities and the hospitality we have received here at Silver Star,” said Samantha Wright of Quesnel. Over three days of competition, the combined scoring leaders were: Women’s Open 1st – Shelby Reimer (Enderby) 752 points 2nd – Tracy Klettl 719 3rd - Cynthia Williams 703 Women’s Release 1 – Teri Ellis (Vernon) 676 2 – Shelly Smith 674

Thunder one game from final GARY AHUJA Black Press

LANGLEY – With the thunder booming outside, the Langley Thunder were making their own rumble inside Langley Events Centre Tuesday night. The Thunder used a 10-6 victory in Game 3 to take a huge 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven Western Lacrosse Association semifinal series over the Burnaby Lakers. “We are a good team,” said Thunder coach Rod Jensen, referring to the fact Langley captured the WLA regular season title after a 12-6 record and added valuable pieces to last season’s league champs. “We are a little bit tougher, more size, more physical. And having that big kid (Vernon’s Brodie MacDonald) in net can be frustrating (for oppos-

ing teams).” MacDonald, a six-foot-seven goaltender who was named the Rookie of the Year last season, is averaging 6.39 goals against per game with a .849 save percentage. That is nearly two full goals below his regular-season average. The towering keeper backstopped the Thunder with a 31-save effort Tuesday night. Lewis Ratcliff led Langley’s attack with five goals and an assist, and Athan Iannucci had 2+2. Scott Jones fired four goals for Burnaby. Langley had a chance for the sweep and a spot in the WLA championship series Thursday in Game 4 at Burnaby’s Bill Copeland Arena. A loss would see the teams return to the LEC on Monday for Game 5.

Jacob Soucy, who pitched three innings and smacked a double and single, was named Vernon’s game MVP. Bailey Wellman singled to right and swiped second and third bases, while Corey Anderson singled and stole one base. Vernon then outlasted the Prince George Knights 18-17 behind some stellar pitching, defence and offence from MVP Wellman. After Shaughnessy Barker made a great catch in centre field, Wellman knocked a ball down on the hill and threw to Hayden Vardon at first for the second out of the first inning. She then whiffed a batter for the final out. Soucy drilled an over-the-fence three-run homer to put the C’s up 4-0 in the second inning. Isaac Olson fanned four batters before giving the ball to Graham Moss with one out

Mosquitoes split in Surrey Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Canadians finished 2-2 at the B.C. Mosquito AA Baseball Championships at Lionel Courchene Park in Surrey. Coached by Mark Batchelor, Gus Morris, Colin Rafferty and Achim Colmorgen, the C’s finished by bouncing the Burnaby Braves 13-10 with game MVP going to Landen Harison. Burnaby took the championship by grounding the Oceanside Reds of Parksville 13-2. The C’s used a four-run fourth to stop the Braves, keyed by an Eric Foufoulas RBI-double to right field. Chris McIntosh, Koll Cherkowski and Lincoln Connor also drove in runs. Harison jumpstarted the Canadians in the first with a single to centre before swiping second and third and scoring on a double to left by Braden Beacom. Chase Batchelor reached first on a bunt and later scored on a bash to centre by Carter Morris, who swiped home to end the inning. Vernon lost 11-10 to Oceanside in their opener as the Reds scored once in the bottom of the sixth inning. The C’s trailed 6-0 until the third when Connor cracked a double to the hole in centre to start a rally. Cherkowski was hit by a pitch to load the bases and Jackson Soucy walked to score Connor. Harison also walked to bring in Cherkowski, while Batchelor smacked a two-run single for Vernon’s maximum four runs. Maguire Lauridsen started a fourth-inning rally with a single, just beating the throw to first. Ryan Gamage and Caden Colmorgen walked to load the bases and McIntosh walked to bring in Lauridsen. Beacom then singled and Connor walked to score Colmorgen for the tying run. McIntosh swiped home with a nice slide on a dropped ball by the catcher, while Cherkowski and MVP Foufoulas both walked to score Beacom and take an 8-6 lead. Foufoulas whiffed two batters in the bottom of the fourth, while Colmorgen charged in from centre field to make a line-drive catch for the

third out. Beacom bashed a two-run single in the top of the sixth, scoring Carter Morris and Gamage. Vernon then outlasted the Surrey Cardinals 10-9 with Morris doing it all for MVP. Morris led off the bottom of the seventh with a double, moved to third on a single by McIntosh and scored with McIntosh on a smash to right by Gamage. Beacom singled to left, advancing Gamage to third before Foufoulas singled through short as Gamage slid home with the winning run. Morris, playing short, turned a nice double play in the second inning, when he also doubled and scored on a Connor single. The C’s used a four-run fourth to go ahead 7-5 with McIntosh, Connor and Foufoulas all stroking singles and Cherkowski knocking in one run with a sac fly. Batchelor struck out a pair in the fifth. In Game 3, the Canadians bowed 6-2 to Gibsons with Beacom collecting MVP. McIntosh pitched 3 and 2/3 innings of stellar ball as the starter, striking out the side in the third. Beacom doubled over second base in the fifth and scored on a double to centre by Colmorgen. McIntosh then drove in Colmorgen.

Cherkowski, Batchelor and Morris hit one target in the throwing accuracy, won by Vancouver, with three hits. The Canadians finished the summer ball season at 40-5.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper scoffs at suggestions his government is contemplating pushing through the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline through northern B.C.

B.C. pipeline not a sure thing: PM TOM FLETCHER Black Press

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has rejected suggestions his government is considering pushing through the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline across northern B.C. Harper was asked about Enbridge Inc.’s pipeline project at a stop in Vancouver Tuesday, and the frequent accusation that he has already decided it is in the national interest for it to proceed. “I’ve been very clear that decisions on these kinds of projects are made through an independent evaluation conducted by scientists into the economic costs and risks that are associated with the project,” Harper said. “I think that’s the only way governments can handle controversial projects of this manner, to ensure that things are evaluated on an independent basis, scientifically, and not simply on political criteria.” Harper told reporters he has spoken with B.C. Premier Christy Clark and other premiers about pipelines, but those conversations are private. It’s his first public comment since a dispute erupted between Clark and Alberta Premier Alison Redford in July over Clark’s demand for more revenues. “I’m not going to get into an argument or discussion about how we divide hypothetical revenues,” Harper said. He did emphasize that in general, it is important for Canada to diversify its trade and open up new markets in Asia. The federal government is planning “huge investments” to improve environmental protection for shipping resource material, but it won’t favour any individual project, he said. Kinder Morgan hopes to twin its existing oil pipeline from Alberta to port and refinery facilities in Burnaby, to transport more heavy oil from the Athabasca oil sands. But the company has not yet formally applied for federal environment assessment. Clark initially said her government would wait until the federal assessment of Enbridge is concluded in 2013 before deciding whether to support it. Then in late July, the B.C. government presented a list of five preconditions, including a positive recommendation from the federal review. The others are “world-leading” oil spill prevention and response capability on land and at sea, meeting legal requirements to consult and accommodate aboriginal groups along pipeline routes, and a “fair share” of oil revenues for B.C.

+ICK OUT THE JAMS IN THE WILDS OF ,UMBY Delhi 2 Dublin and Jeremy Fisher play Jam Camp dance at Mabel Lake Community Hall Morning Star Staff

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a night of sweet and sweaty reverie in the wilds of Lumby. The Jam Camp Summer Dance returns to the Mabel Lake Community Hall Thursday and the Jam Camp Society, along with the Monashee Arts Council, have announced this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headliners guaranteed to have everyone on their feet. Returning to Jam Camp is Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Indo-Celtic electronic â&#x20AC;&#x153;fusioneersâ&#x20AC;? Delhi 2 Dublin along with Ottawa folk hipster Jeremy Fisher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The show will be supporting Jam Camp, an annual creative music camp for families,â&#x20AC;? said Jennifer Greenwood, arts and culture program coordinator with the Monashee Arts Council. Delhi 2 Dublin have been long time supporters of Jam Camp. Described by one magazine as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;United Nations of rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rollâ&#x20AC;?, they have become one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most buzzed-about bands. Fusing tabla, fiddle, dhol, Punjabi vocals and electric sitar with electronic beats, Delhi 2 Dublin takes listeners on a wild ride through global sounds and synchronicities. Band members describe themselves as a mash up, a trans-cultural group of musicians creating the ultimate music for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s globalista. Beats guru Tarun Nayar, who is facilitating at Jam Camp this summer, Sanjay Seran, Andrew Kim and Ravi Binning, along with Sara Fitzpatrick, are diverse in both their backgrounds and musical influences.

Vancouver based Punjabi-Celtic live electronic music group Delhi 2 Dublin and Ottawa-based two-time Juno Award nominee Jeremy Fisher headline the Jam Camp Summer Dance near Lumby on Thursday, Aug. 16. This summer the band is releasing a new album, Turn Up the Stereo, which is both the title and the philosophy behind the release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes we just need to drown out the noise of the world by making the music louder,â&#x20AC;? said vocalist Seran. The Delhi 2 Dublin crew is constantly touring. The road warriors feel that they plug directly into the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music and energy. The strong word-of-mouth for their live performances has enabled them to build a loyal and continent-wide fan base. The band has played several of the top festivals in Canada, the U.K. and the U.S. and, in 2011, expanded its horizons to include performances in the Pacific Rim and Europe. Sharing the stage with Delhi 2 Dublin will

be two-time Juno Award nominee Fisher, an Ottawa-based musician whose craft is deeply imbued with a modern insight that has made him a strong and enduring musical storyteller. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the genuine and instinctive showmanship of Fisherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s live performance that he may be best known for. Fans are continually engaged by his effortless storytelling - heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one man on a stage sharing a moment with those around him. Fisher has just released his fifth album, Mint Juleps. The acoustic-driven collection of 12 songs reunites Fisher with his folk-drenched musical roots and is a veritable throwback to the golden era of the singer-songwriter. Fisher says he is excited to join Jam Camp this year, not only to play the annual summer

dance show but also as a facilitator for the week-long camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inspiration comes from many places, but the common thread that runs through my music comes from a love for beautiful places and strong community,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to participating in Jam Camp and playing a show at the Mabel Lake Community Hall is sure to be a highlight of my summer.â&#x20AC;? Delhi 2 Dublin and Jeremy Fisher play the Jam Camp Summer Dance at the Mabel Lake Community Hall, Shuswap Falls Road north of Lumby, Thursday, Aug. 16 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15/$7.50 available at Lumby Health Foods and CafĂŠ Mazzega in Lumby, and at the Bean Scene in Vernon.

He was also a member of Virginia Wolf with Jason Bonham, and appears on the Freddie Mercury solo album, Mr. Bad Guy, playing fretless bass. Burt has written, toured, and performed with many other artists, including The Troggs, Brian Setzer, Bob Geldof, Roger Taylor, James Reyne,

and The Sweet. He continues to write music and perform regularly with his own project, The Jo Burt Experience.

Recall notice has been given Total Recall

t the end of the 21st century, Earth is slowly falling apart. Only two continents have survived a global chemical war, the Colony (Australia) and the United Federation of Britain. For factory worker Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell) life is mundane and lacking the relevance it deserves. After visiting Rekall, a company that implants false memories into its customers to spice up their lives, Quaid awakens convinced he is a spy. Now on the run for his life from the police of a corrupt government, he must first figure out what is real and what is Rekall, before he can figure out who he is. We say, “It’s a new take on an old favourite.” HOWE: Total Recall is a beautiful looking

movie; it’s very slick, polished and neonish. It’s a jammed packed action movie from the very opening to the very end. For me it was a little too much action and not enough story. TAYLOR: Taylor & Howe I love Phillip K. Dick stories and I also enjoyed the original film from 1990. This film did pack more of a punch than the first, but I agree that the price you pay for that punch is plot. I found myself getting bored of frenetic chase sequences and Bourne-like fist fights. HOWE: Farrell did an okay job, but then again any action star could have played the part. You could have thrown Jason Statham or Clive Owen into the role of Quaid and you would have had the same result. Come to

similar capitalist threat, they needed to. Also, felt like Bourne meets not enough mutants... I, Robot at times. It HOWE: What about made the trappings of the three breasted lady?

A blind gorilla could have played Quaid. It’s the story that matters for this film; the exposition, the world in which the action takes place that is interesting. This world did not get served as well in this film as it did in the first. However,

other than the added fight and chase scenes, I did like the differences between this film and first. HOWE: This Recall isn’t a straight remake of the ‘90s version which is good, but there are a few references to original, a nice touch by director Len Wiseman. TAYLOR: The future

Earth was a lot bleaker and deeper, like a modern view of a Blade Runner-esque world, complete with mixed races, languages and non-stop rain.

Quadra Island multi-instrumentalist Shane Philip (named Best Live Act at the Vancouver Island Music Awards) returns to Lorenzo’s Café, east of Enderdy, Thursday, Aug. 16. Known worldwide for his dynamic didgeridoo-infused music, Philip is a one-man force on stage. His feet wildly work his drum kit while he plays guitar, the aslatua, the djembe and, of course, his didgeridoos. A familiar face from performances at Vernon’s Komasket Music Festival, Philip has been touring the globe upon the release of 2006 album Earthquake, 2009’s Live at Baker Studios, as well as last year’s Life Love Music. The latter album is rich with vocals and features much more of that mesmerizing sound that is powerful enough to fill a room with dancing fans and soulful enough to quiet a packed house.
