Campfires banned RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Tense times for Rise resident RICHARD ROLKE
“It actually jumped the fire guard and it was, ‘Oh my goodness, we better get some more resources to this location,’” he said of the area near Ertl’s home. Ertl has nothing but praise for the firefighters and the extreme conditions they experienced. “Just to see them walking up the hill carrying hoses is amazing. We’ve walked up the hill and it’s barely doable,” she said. “It was so smoky and with the spotters (planes) flying through, you barely could see them.” A cause for the fire has still not been determined, and Blair would not speculate on whether an abandoned cigarette may be responsible. Mayor Rob Sawatzky has praise for everyone involved in extinguishing the blaze. “I have been very impressed with their dedication,” he said. “It was nice to see the cooperation among the agencies. As a community, we are very lucky.”

Sharon Ertl jokes that she’s gone from tornado alley to the hot seat. Still unpacking from a recent move from Red Deer, Alta., Ertl was faced with a dangerous situation as a rapidly moving grass fire neared her home in The Rise neighbourhood Tuesday afternoon. “We were hosing down everything we could,” she said. The flames, fuelled by winds off Okanagan Lake, became so unpredictable that Ertl and one other residence were evacuated. “The neighbours were here and they grabbed everything important — pictures, passports,” said Ertl. They were allowed to return home by 9:30 p.m. Tuesday. “I kept waking up to see hot spots. But the guys were all out there so I knew we were safe,” said Ertl. Vernon, Okanagan Landing and B.C.

However, 100 per cent containment doesn’t mean all of the challenges are extinguished. There are still the possibilities of hot spots flaring up. “It could be as late as a week before it pops up,” said Jack Blair, Vernon deputy chief. “We will be monitoring this
for the next week or two weeks.” An infrared scan Thursday identified seven hot spots and they were tackled. “With one spot, they had to dig down a foot to get to it,” said Blair. He admits there was a possibility of losing structures Tuesday because of the changing wind directions.

Sharon Ertl looks over the charred hillside next to her home at The Rise. The 36.3-hectare grass fire forced her to evacuate Tuesday.
A summer tradition has been doused. Extremely dry conditions have forced the Ministry of Forests to ban campfires today at noon in provincial parks and on Crown and private land. Several local jurisdictions have also taken similar action. “There has been an extenuating dry period with no rain,” said Michaela Swan, an information officer with the Kamloops Fire Centre. To emphasize the current situation, Swan points to Tuesday’s grass fire in Vernon. It grew rapidly and came close to two homes at The Rise neighbourhood. Michaela Swan The ministry also has a concern that anticipated hot weather will heighten the fire risk. “The forecast shows lighting this weekend,” said Swan, adding that the campfire prohibition allows ministry personnel to be focused on any lightning-caused fires. “Human-caused fires divert resources away from nature-caused fires.” This prohibition will remain in place until the public is notified that it has been rescinded. Similar action is being taken by the City of Vernon. “Our ban will be effective noon today, the same as Kamloops Fire Centre,” said Courtenay Pitcher, communications officer. The Regional District of North Okanagan has initiated a ban in those portions of BX-Swan Lake and BX-Silver Star covered by fire protection service. Other electoral areas within RDNO are covered under Ministry of Forests regulations. A campfire ban also takes affect in Lumby, Lake Country and along North Westside Road. Swan understands that people enjoy campfires during the summer, and she says the decision to prohibit them isn’t made lightly. “We don’t put them in place unless we have a grave concern,” he said.

News RCMP catch up with robbery suspect Morning Star Staff
Vernon RCMP have arrested a suspect in connection with a robbery attempt Wednesday at a Vernon gas station. Officers were called to the Blue Moon Esso in the 2400 block of 34th Street shortly before 4:30 p.m. for a report of an attempted robbery. “Information was that a lone woman entered the Esso, produced a pocket knife and demanded money from the register,� said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “The clerk refused to provide any cash and the suspect fled on foot.� The suspect was described as small and skinny, wearing a black hat, sunglasses, brown shirt, shorts and sandals. Officers made patrols of the area and the suspect was not immediately located. Shortly after 5 p.m., police were called to a report of a shoplifter that staff had detained at a jewelry store in downtown Vernon, on 30th Avenue. Police responded and a woman closely matching the description of the robbery suspect was arrested. “Investigation and evidence found has led officers to recommend charges of robbery, theft under $5,000 and obstruction against a 31-year-old woman from the Comox area,� said Molendyk. The suspect was slated to make an appearance in Vernon Provincial Court Thursday.

A man who drove a stolen pickup truck into a Vernon home in 2010 has been sentenced to jail time. Robert Antonin Andel, 55, pleaded guilty to one count of possession of stolen property, and one count of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. Andel was sentenced to 35 months in jail for the possession charge, and two years for dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. That count is to be served concurrent with the first charge. Andel was also given a two-year driving prohibition. On Jan. 31, 2010, a stolen Dodge pickup crashed into the front end of a home near Vernon Secondary School shortly before 3 a.m. The crash woke up a couple sleeping in the home, and did significant structural damage to the house. The driver took off, leaving a dog behind in the vehicle.
Drug activity busted Morning Star Staff
Four people were taken into custody Wednesday following a Vernon RCMP investigation into drug activity. Officers followed up on information about suspected activity in the Commonage Road area and, at around 6 p.m., arrested two 22-year-old men for possession for the purpose of trafficking. “Both men were held in custody while our officers continued their investigation around the drugs,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. A search warrant was obtained and executed at a residence off Commonage Road around 9 p.m. A 23-year-old man and 22-year-old woman were found in the home and taken into custody. RCMP located a quantity of drugs, cash and several knives. All four people arrested were expected to go before a justice of the peace Thursday night.

A proposed subdivision in Okanagan Landing has been shot down. In a 4-3 vote Monday, Vernon council denied an application for a 33-lot, lowdensity subdivision on 14 acres on Eastside Road. The application was seeking a change in the land use from rural/ agriculture to residential low density. “A lot of thought and expertise went into the official community plan,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky, who denied the request along with Councillors Bob Spiers, Juliette Cunningham and Patrick
“A lot of thought and expertise went into the OCP.” — Rob Sawatzky Nicol. “Our role is not to assist an individual’s own economic decisions. Our role is to assist the community.” Sawatzky also pointed out that businesses have purchased land and initiated development plans based on the official community plan.
“There are implications for them if the plan is changed.” Staff had recommended denying the application, saying there is already a substantial land inventory approved for such uses in the community. However, Coun. Brian Quiring insisted those areas with lot capacity are more

desirable for adults. “There are a lot of lots but not an over abundance of family lots. It’s unfair to cripple development,” he said, adding the proposed development would benefit schools and other amenities in the Landing. Besides Quiring, Councillors Catherine Lord and Mary-Jo O’Keefe wanted the land use amendment application to proceed. “The person wanting to develop is taking a risk and must feel he can bring people into Vernon,” said O’Keefe. “It’s his risk and it won’t cost taxpayers anything if he doesn’t sell those lots.”

An emotionally significant ornament has taken flight from an Enderby home. A metal sculpture of an eagle was stolen from Gloria Morgan’s yard on Highway 97A Tuesday night. “It means a lot to us culturally,” said Morgan, a former Splatsin First Nations chief. “We hold the eagle in the highest esteem.” The sculpture is about six-feet-by-sixfeet in size. A truck was likely needed to remove it.
“We had it made locally. It’s irreplaceable,” said Morgan. “The wings are out as if the eagle is coming into land.” The RCMP have been notified of the theft and a reward is being offered for information that leads to the sculpture being returned. “My family and I used our smudge on this one and whoever took it should know that and treat it with respect. If they return it there will be no questions asked,” said Morgan. Anyone with information about the crime is asked to call the RCMP.

Greater Vernon parks process moving ahead RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Greater Vernon’s differences over parks and recreation are a step closer to being resolved. Representatives from Coldstream, Vernon and the two electoral areas met again Tuesday to try and hammer out details for a prospective deal. “We addressed all of the issues on the agenda and staff will proceed with finishing the memorandum of understanding,” said Rob Sawatzky, Vernon director. “They will bring it back to us for review in
September.” The proposal calls for some parks to remain under a joint governance structure. Other parks, though, will become the responsibility of the individual jurisdictions. All jurisdictions could still have a say over major changes to physical amenities, such as ball and soccer fields, even if they are in a park that is under the control of an individual entity like Vernon or Coldstream. “Investment in sub-regional interests is imporJim Garlick tant,” said Trafford Hall, Regional District of North Okanagan administrator, of funding that
came from all areas to help develop facilities. “We have a big interest in ball fields. Everyone’s kids play everywhere.” Jim Garlick, Coldstream director, supports regional scrutiny of facilities in local parks. “It addresses the concern that things will change. They won’t,” he said of the new parks model. Among the other issues discussed Tuesday were governance and reserves allocation. Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director, is satisfied with the process towards a final agreement. “Everyone is on the same page and there are no issues that are deal-breakers,” he said.
Flower shop targeted for parking lot RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
There’s demands for more parking in downtown Vernon even if it’s just temporary. The Downtown Vernon Association has asked that the city-owned Vernon Flower Shop building on 31st Avenue be demolished and parking be developed. “We’ve lost a lot of parking spots (over the years) and even if we got 10 to 12 parking spots, it would be good for us on 31st Avenue,” said Nadine Wilson, a DVA director.

An Olympic moment
H
ands up if you never really paid all that much attention to Canadian women’s soccer prior to the London Olympics. Guilty as charged. Now, hands up if you thought Christine Sinclair’s hat trick against the dreaded U.S. in the semifinal was one of the most exhilarating moments of these Games. Many people thought they were robbed of a berth in the gold-medal game by some questionable refereeing, but the performance put forth by Sinclair and Co. was unforgettable, unlike the Spice Girls reunion in the closing ceremonies. I haven’t been that pumped since Simon Whitfield threw down the gauntlet (for him, it was his race Graeme Corbett cap) and charged to triathlon silver at the 2008 Games in Beijing. I have to admit, I came into these Games with a bit of a chip on my shoulder. After watching the British media slam the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver – they condemned it for everything from the Olympic torch fiasco to transit problems to poor weather conditions to the tragic death of Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili, going so far as to dub them the ‘worst Games ever’ – I was hoping the London organizing committee underwent some of the same scrutiny. They did, and it caused me to completely rethink my patriotic/childish vendetta as a result. Aside from a public backlash over all of the empty seats at the Olympic venues, the other glaring issue at these Games was the officiating. And it was the athletes that suffered. You can pick pretty much any Olympic combat sport (boxing, judo, fencing etc.) and chances are there was some dodgy officiating accompanying it. It is hard to forget South Korean fencer Shin Lam, who sat court side for more than an hour as her delegation protested a controversial decision in her women’s epee semifinal. Or what about the Canadian men’s 4x100metre relay team, who went from a bronze medal
AT RANDOM
to falling off the podium, all because one team member put a foot on the line? I understand race officials have to review a race before making it final, but what a heart-wrenching experience it would be to go from doing a celebration lap draped in your nation’s flag to looking up and seeing the letters DQ on the score clock. And, of course, there’s the aforementioned Canada-U.S. women’s soccer semifinal. In some sports, the athletes left the refs with no choice but to take action. Badminton, anyone? But for all of these shortcomings – which, if you consider there were more than 10,000 athletes competing in London, really aren’t that many – there were so many tremendous performances put forth by so many athletes. It’s easy to point out the Michael Phelps and Usain Bolts of the London Games, but then there were the smaller miracles, like Oscar (Blade Runner) Pistorius, a South African sprinter with a double below-knee amputation who became a media sensation in London. Thanks to ever-improving communications technology, viewers were able to set their PVRs to record, and soak in the complete Olympic experience through the joint coverage provided by CTV, TSN and SportsNet (and OLN if you happen to be a horse nut like my mother-in-law). When I started researching for this column, I typed the words “Post Olympic” into the Google search bar, thinking I would unleash my inner sports junkie and offer some statistical analysis of Team Canada’s performance. However, the browser’s predictive function instead spat out the words “depression syndrome.” When I first read that, I was baffled, thinking “I know the Olympics are a lot of fun and I’ll miss watching them, but isn’t it a little over the top to assign it a condition?” Doh! They meant the athletes. It has to be a pretty epic high to have not only competed at the Olympic Games, but also dedicated the previous four years to building yourself up for the 17-day event. I can understand why saying goodbye – whether you won a medal or missed out on a final, or whether these were your first Games or your last – would be difficult.
If you’re having a hard time keeping your lawn from frying in this heat, just imagine how fire crews feel trying to battle flames roaring through forests and fields. It’s obviously hot and everything is drying out, making for some extreme conditions. Fire ratings across the Kamloops Fire Centre are high, with spots of extreme. So it’s no surprise that a campfire ban has been issued effective today. The ban comes just days after a small grass fire spread rapidly up the hillside next to The Rise Tuesday, threatening a couple homes. And it also follows Wednesday’s fire in Becker Park. Anyone witnessing the fires, especially The Rise blaze, knows how much man-power went into them. It wasn’t just one fire department, but three, plus wildfire crews from across the region who came in to lend a hand. Day one of the fire saw 22 firefighters, three helicopters and two air tankers, overnight 20 firefighters continued to snuff it out and 40 took over for them the following morning. As a result, the ban serves as one more avenue to help keep firefighting resources from being spread too thin. Crews are needed to respond to naturally-caused fires, not careless human-caused fires. In this day and age, with all of the knowledge we have around fire safety, and particularly with the 2003 wildfires in mind, there is no excuse for human-caused blazes. Sadly, they are still a reality. On average, 40 per cent of the province’s fires are human-caused. That is exactly why campfire bans are necessary. So if you were planning on cuddling around the campfire this summer and are now a little soured by the ban, remember, it is our own carelessness that caused the ban.

Pipeline project raises concerns
I
don't believe Stephen Harper cares about what is good for Canada, but I do believe he cares about what is good for Enbridge, the Chinese government and other largely foreign owned oil companies that would stand to reap big profits from the export of raw bitumen and heavy oil. If he really cared about Canada, he would acknowledge that we import 50 per cent of our oil. And if he really cared about jobs in Canada, he'd advocate upgrading the bitumen and heavy oil in Alberta and Saskatchewan to supply the needs of Eastern Canada first. Once the bitumen and heavy oil is on the world market, selling at world prices, the economic benefits to the average Canadian will be wiped out at the gas pump and jobs will be lost due to "Dutch disease." Given that he has every intention of pushing through the Northern Gateway project in spite of legtimate environmental concerns in this province, let us hope that it
WATER WOES Many residents approached me with concerns about their new water bill. They are unhappy about the very high flat fee Greater Vernon Water charges which is a disincentive to saving water. I agree with their concerns. While GVW’s policy is to recover costs through userpay, in reality they are not doing so. The $78.12 flat fee ($312.48 annually) is basically a parcel tax as it is applied regardless of water use. Just to compare the magnitude of this tax, consider Coldstream’s municipal tax on a $400,000 property at $784.76 annually. In fact, I received a complaint from a lot owner whose municipal tax almost equaled his water fee. He used no water. Part of our water cost recovery is certainly not user-pay. In fact, it is the most regressive form of taxation as it is applied to each property regardless of its value. This tax provides almost $8 million revenue to the
R

water utility. Granted, there is a potential 80 cubic meters of water available for this price but many will not use all of the allowable volume. There are fairer options available for covering the costs of the utility. My preference would be value based taxation for financing infrastructure costs. The current cost of our borrowed funds ($35 million) is about $2.5 million annually. To cover this sum an approximate mil rate of 0.2 would be charged to the properties of water customers. A property worth $500,000 would be paying $100 annually. An access fee of $25 per quarter ($100 annually) would cover administrative costs, such as meter reading and billing costs. The rest of the budget should be collected through user pay. This would be a fairer user pay system.

Drought. I am glad to read that finally another person can see how the city is using our taxes. The old library, put partitions in it, one conference room and two offices, and bring in departments in other buildings home. Fix the museum, and when they move, put more city offices in there. Let's make some money back on all of these parcels of land we have purchased, and no more is needed. The core review, when it happens, is this going to be a whitewash or are we the taxpayers going to have a say with the consultants with our ideas? Then are they going to come in, unannounced, and ask for a meeting with all managers and supervisors with their agendas? They should get a list of jobs and check to see, unannounced, if we are getting our value. They should also check to see if we are
misusing our vehicles. The paper is also stating that an increase in costs for the recreation complex is coming. Have they thought about lowering the water and air temperature and staffing reductions? The reason they are not getting bookings because of the unemployment in the area. Those that are working are getting no wage increase but the cost of living is going up, so go out and see these groups and see if they have any ideas. The reason they give is cost of living and wages. Stop the press tell them you are going to look at rolling back these increases. I can guarantee the majority of the taxpayers will say, 'If this is what it takes, then do it.' I do not agree with Mr Drought. We are not constructing a fine town. We are so desperate that we let anyone build. Why do we need more fast food take-outs when our small restaurants are closing or laying people off? We have no land base that can sustain an industry anymore. We must also stop build-

Garry Haas PROTECT A GEM Regarding the article "Justice Park in the spotlight" in The Morning Star July 29. There are many classifications of parks. Justice Park is in the small, quite size. We have lots of green areas throughout Vernon. We don't need to clutter Justice Park. A couple of more benches would suffice. I have walked past that park every morning for years. I never fail to stop for a few seconds to enjoy its beauty and quietness. I have seen people reading there. There is a history to Justice Park. At one time, there was a metal plaque on the southwest corner. I believe it was stolen but never replaced. The people in the new offices are very lucky to have this quite zone nearby. I hope the city will not fall by the wayside and ruin this gem of green. Kay Bartholomew

Members of the Okanagan Landing Fire Department have lost their contract to provide services to the City of Vernon.
Firefighters consider future with the city RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Uncertainty over Okanagan Landing’s firefighters continues. Members of the Okanagan Landing Firefighters Association were supposed to meet with Vernon city administration Tuesday. But that session was scrapped after the city provided information in writing. “It’s been e-mailed out to the membership and we’re still learning what the model means,” said Todd Montgomery, association president. The city recently decided not to renew a fire service agreement
with the association to provide firefighting services in the Landing. All members of the Landing association have been invited to join the Vernon Volunteer Firefighters Association, which operates out of the downtown hall. “There’s still a lot of disappointment,” said Montgomery. Landing firefighters will gather Aug. 21 to discuss the new structure. “After next week, there will be some individual decisions and some association decisions,” said Montgomery. “We will see what

the feeling is among the members. We could do a media campaign to get our views out to the public or we could decide to join.” Keith Green, Vernon’s fire chief, says the city provided information this week after a series of questions were received from the Landing group. “They’re going to take time to digest the answers and it will probably lead to more questions,” he said. “We’re happy to answer those as well.” Among the issues raised are the ability of the firefighters to still operate out of the Landing hall and to have access to a workshop they constructed on the site. “They brought some legitimate concerns forward and we’re trying to address some of the unknowns,” said Green. If a large number of Landing members don’t accept the new model, that could lead to a shortage of firefighters. “We have a contingency plan in place if that occurs but I hope that’s not the case,” said Green. “I hope that by working with them, we will get many of them to work under the new model.” The Okanagan Landing Firefighters Association was formed in 1975 and it has provided a service to the city since Okanagan Landing joined Vernon in 1993.

Becker Park fires generate concern RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Authorities are on alert after a second grass fire broke out right in the middle of Vernon. Firefighters were called to the west side of Becker Park, behind the Vernon Curling Club, Wednesday at about 6:15 a.m. “It was a small, suspicious fire,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “There was also a small fire there two weeks ago as well.” A cause for Wednesday’s blaze has not been determined and it remains under investigation.
“There was no one in the area and officers took photographs of the scene,” said Molendyk. The fire was about two feet-by-20 feet in size. “We seem to get a lot of fire starts in there,” said Lawrie Skolrood, deputy fire chief. “There’s a concern with wildfire interface right in the city.” Because of ongoing challenges over the years, authorities have placed considerable focus on Becker Park. “There’s been fuel modification in there and that took away some of the risk (of fire),” said Skolrood.
Coldstream hires development director Morning Star Staff
Coldstream’s chief administrative officer.
A former senior staff member at Lake Country won’t have to go far following restructuring that cost him his job. Michael Reiley has been hired by the District of Coldstream for the position of director of development – a position he held in Lake Country until being laid off due to major restructuring. Reiley takes over the position that Craig Broderick held in Coldstream for more than a decade. Broderick resigned from his position in May and his role has been filled by an interim director for the meantime. Reiley, who has 31 years of planning experience in B.C. and Alberta, officially begins in Coldstream on Sept. 10. “The planning and managerial skills that Michael Reiley has attained in similar sized municipalities will benefit Coldstream in addressing issues facing our community,” said Michael Stamhuis,

Dogs and owners are already looking forward to the second annual Doggie Duathlon. The inaugural event Sunday fetched 27 participants and their four-legged friends with Chihuahuas to beagles to pitbulls to huskies to German shepherds and more to walk and swim. The Doggie Duathlon, organized and sponsored by Shelly Korobanki of Pooch Partners, raised more than $400 towards the SPCA’s Paws for a Cause event in September. “It was an amazing day with amazing people and fabulous dogs,” she said. “Pooch Partners’ goal is to promote healthy activity for people and their pooches to do together and the Doggie Duathlon is a great way to have fun at the same time. There is really no better training partner than your pooch.” JOSE LAROCHELLE/MORNING STAR The second annual Monique Lamoureux and Niko approach the finish line during the Doggie Doggie Duathlon is schedDuathlon at Kin Beach Sunday. uled for Aug. 11, 2013.

Park design goes to public ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Green space with meandering paths and orchards as a community garden is the preferred design for Armstrong’s Huculak Park. Armstrong native and University of Manitoba student Christina Walkden has presented her final report on the Huculak Park design for city council’s perusal. “These suggestions are based on the consultations held in June 2012 in Armstrong, and is part of the ongoing design process for the park,” wrote Walkden in her report to council. Two different designs for Huculak Park were presented in June 2012 and were left for the community to review for an additional month. Walkden’s second design, which she titled Okanagan Typologies and Typography,” was more widely accepted
The Boardwalk The Hills
Orchards
CHRISTINA WALKDEN DESIGN
The public will have a chance to view the final design proposal for Armstrong’s Huculak Park at a meeting Sept. 6. than her first design. “Favourite aspects of this design were the hills with meandering paths and an orchard as a community garden, rather than more traditional elevated planters,” wrote Walkden. A boardwalk will border the outside of the park.
The property was owned by community member Bernie Huculak, and sits behind his old house off Patterson Avenue to the north and Meighan Creek to the south. Concerns about the height of the hills, washrooms and costs have been addressed by
Walkden in her report. A children’s area has been pitched for the northeast corner of the site. Another public meeting, this one on the final proposal for the park, is slated for the evening of Thursday, Sept. 6, and is likely to be held in the Oddfellows Hall.

stretch of local highway. Work on Highway 6 is still scheduled, in and around the Kalamalka Road intersection. “The intent is to proceed with construction hopefully in the fall,” said Michael Stamhuis, Coldstream’s chief administrative officer, following discussions with the Ministry of Transportation.
Coldstream politicians are also hopeful that work will continue east on the highway, at King Edward Road and the Postill gravel pit. “They’re wanting acceleration and deceleration lanes to be there,” said Mayor Jim Garlick, who will be putting the request in at the Union of B.C. Municipalities in September.

Coldstream construction on upward swing There are considerably more hammers swinging in Coldstream this year over last. For July alone, 18 permits were issued, compared to six in July 2011. The construction value was also nearly quadruple at $2.8 million, compared to
$716,900 for the same month last year. And just seven months into the year Coldstream’s building statistics have nearly hit the same level of construction for all of 2011. Housing units to date for 2012 have reached 23, compared to 15 for the same period last year. Last year recorded

Log Barn gives kids a sporting chance ANDRE LODDER Morning Star Staff
With a successful London Olympics behind us, if ever there was a time for kids to be inspired by athletics, it would be now. Thanks to the Log Barn 1912, a number of those kids dreams are one step closer. The Log Barn hosted a ceremony recently to announced a donation to Greater Vernon KidSport. The donation worth $6,570 is the largest donation ever received to date for KidSport and will go a long way to allowing kids access to sports. “We wanted to do something that was community based and would bring a positive impact into our community,” said Eric Clark, owner of the — Ann Holmes Log Barn. The donation comes through the Honouring Tradition; Sunday Sales Program. Historically the Log Barn has always been closed on Sundays, but those doors were opened on the condition that all the proceeds go towards a local charity. The Log Barn carried through with their decision to open Sundays and now kids in the community will reap the benefit. According to Ann Holmes, the funding allocator for Greater Vernon KidSport, Greater Vernon KidSport has already funded just under $25,000 to just under 200 children in 16 different sports so far in 2012. “Very few kids, if any, are turned away. That’s why it says ‘So All Kids Can Play,’” said Holmes. The Log Barn’s donation alone will provide at least 50 kids with funding. While the generosity was evident at the ceremony, Holmes also brought attention to the modesty behind the donation. “The owners were just in the background. They didn’t want the recognition, they wanted it to go to the Log Barn and its staff,” said Holmes. KidSport is run on a non-profit platform that involves the work of unpaid staff and volunteers like Holmes. The organization doesn’t receive any financial support from the government and relies solely on donations from events and organizations like the Log Barn. On Saturday KidSport will benefit from Bimbledon, a badminton tournament that’s taking place at the DND grounds and has more than 200 participants signed up. Last year it raised $4,000 for the organization. Events and donations like these are all geared towards one thing, the kids. And with the continued support, one day these kids might be the ones we’ll be cheering for at the Olympics. “We try to do the best that we can to make sure that the kids get involved and stay involved. We’re just waiting for an Olympic kid to come out of our program,” said Holmes. For more information on Greater Vernon KidSport or how to apply for funding, visit www. greatervernonkidsport.ca.
“We’re just waiting for an Olympic kid to come out of our program.”

Timber crew claims soccer crown Morning Star Staff
As expected, the North Okanagan Soccer League title was decided on the final night of the regular season. North Enderby Timber toppled Davidson & Co. Dynamite 7-0 Wednesday night at Marshall Field #2 to take the crown by one point over Turn-Key Controls and Salmon Arm Courvas. The 13-3-2 Timber, who gave up just 16 goals all year, open the Gibson Cup playoffs Sunday (6 p.m.) against the eighth-place Dynamite at Marshall #4. In other first-round games Sunday, Courvas, who grabbed second place with a slightly better goal differential than TurnKey, face seventh-place Monashee Surveying in Salmon Arm. Turn-Key tangles with the sixth-seeded Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels at Marshall #2, while No. 4 Revelstoke Stallions host No. 5 Nation of Domination Eagle Homes. The semifinals go Wednesday night (6:00) with venues to be announced. The final is Sunday, Aug. 26 (6 p.m.) at Marshall #2. Veteran Graham Ross scored the winner for NET after the shortstaffed Nitros drew a foul 25 yards out in the fifth minute. Ross stepped up and curled a ball over the wall, under the crossbar to the back post. Just two minutes later, Brent Poulsen cradled a sweet through ball from Ross and beat keeper Ean Ross to the bottom right. In the 38th minute, Sean Lister chased down a loose ball, battled with a defender before getting an extra touch in, and slid the ball past the keeper, bottom right. At 52 minutes, Chris Ovens used his power to climb above multiple defenders to get his head on a Poulsen cross and past Ross. Poulsen then carried the ball to the goal line at the corner of the 18, spotted Corey Wallis at the back post and chipped a pass over everybody to Wallis, who calmly headed the ball to Alex Farina
anchored by the Tuckers and Brendan Love, and with help from the central defenders, HaywoodFarmer and Sam and Alex Nolan, the group kept driving the TurnKey offence down the field. The elusive runs from the strikers and wingers provided several chances that were turned away by the great play of the Outlawsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; keeper. Natural defender Sean Bonnett earned the shutout in his first career game as a goalkeeper. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t face much action, but when called upon, Bonnett channeled his volleyball instincts to spike away opposing shots and preserve the clean sheet.

Farina smoothly walked the ball into the goal for the snipe of the night, in the 78th minute. Just three minutes later, James drove a left-footed cross to the foot of Brandon Enair, who hammered the ball to the back post and in. Poulsen closed things out in the 88th minute by cracking a shot through the five-hole of Ross, who had been shaken up after a hard collision minutes before with

ever it was the Controllersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; back line that turned heads. Carson Haywood-Farmer opened the scoring early in the first half, with his first of the year, off a well-placed strike after taking possession of a scramble in the Outlaw 18-yard box. Turn-Key owned the ball for most of the match as all 11 players worked as a unit, working the ball all over the pitch. The middle of the field was
Monashee brushed off the Camels 2-1 at Marshall #4 to finish a game back of Hi-Pro. The first 20 minutes was a chess match of solid passing and attacks by both teams. The scoring opened with a nice shot by Fabrice Fanfani from outside by the Camels. The ensuing rebound off stand-in keeper Ryan Sharp was put away by veteran Camel Bryan Schenker. Five minutes into the second half, Monashee forward Devon Marriott cruised on a stellar solo run and created a great passing play to the top of the box. Midfielder Jay Aarsen confidently buried the ball in the back of the net. Monasheeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winner came in the final minutes off a spirited effort by striker Alberto Lopez, who fought for the ball at the edge of the 18, and dished a gorgeous ball to awaiting midfielder Darren Nobrega. Nobrega tapped the ball off the inside of the post and into the net. Zacharia Sharp (Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother) provided stellar defensive soccer and midfielder Geoff Straight went hard all 90 minutes for Monashee. Courvas bounced Concept Physio 5-3 at Marshall #3, while Revelstoke and Eagle Homes drew 2-2.

Sports Centre, the majority hailed from Vernon, Armstrong, Kelowna and Salmon Arm. “There’s always some good talent in this area so it’s better to try and support it and put people in the stands, watching their kids close to home,” said Mallette, who guided the Knights to a franchise best 35-16-0-1 record in his first year as head coach.

Already committed to the Knights are forward Mat Lambert, a Vernon minor hockey product who play Major Midget last season with the Okanagan Rockets, Darien Head, a 16-year-old defensive prospect out of Salmon Arm, and Dryden Profeit, who won a Midget Tier 1 provincial title with the Prince George Cougars last season. Said Mallette: “There’s a very good crop of 96s, which is unfortunate this year because we’re only allowed two 16-yearolds. We’re just trying to get these kids in the door now, get
them into some exhibition games and show them what we’re all about.” Pantazopoulos, the Knights’ 20-year-old captain, remembered looking up to veterans like Colin Minardi and Doug Chadwick when he entered the league three years ago. He is happy to return the favour. “I just try and help them,” said the Kelowna product. “When I was new here, I had a few guys I looked up to so I like to do the same thing for them. “We’ll probably be pretty young. It’s going to be a big change from last year.” The Knights, who have Shawn Webb as assistant coach and Brett Tomlinson as goalie coach, face the Chase Chiefs in an exhibition tilt on Friday, Aug. 31. They open the regular season against the host Sicamous Eagles on Friday, Sept. 14.
Vernon duo sixth Morning Star Staff
Myles Johnson of Spallumcheen and Jesse Crowe of Canoe Creek shared sixth spot in the $13,000 Ping Golf PGA of B.C. Pro-Pro Championships at Tower Ranch in Kelowna. The close friends carded 70-62-132 to go 12-under and collect $900. The first round Monday was a best ball, while Tuesday’s final round – hampered somewhat by a grassfire on holes 13 and 14 – was a scramble. “We shot the second-lowest score (62) on Day 2 with 11 birdies and one bogey,” said Crowe. “Round 1 was not so good as we had two bogeys and only four birdies.” Johnson is 13th in the PGA of B.C. Order of Merit, with $6,041 in earnings. Lindsay Ber nakav itch (Shaughnessy) and Dave Zibrik (Seymour Creek) won $2,500 with rounds of 65-61. They were two shots off the lead after an impressive 7-under par 65 in the best ball. They continued their fine play on Tuesday, firing 10 birdies and an eagle en route to an 11-under 61 in the scramble, three shots ahead of Kevin Maxwell (Olympic View) and Bill Kelly (Glacier Greens). Maxwell and Kelly earned $2,000. Wrapping up the top five in a
three-way tie for third place were the all Kelowna G&CC team of Rob Anderson and Jamie Stevens, longtime friends David Bolton (Savage Creek) and Darryl Stubbs (Cove Links), and the Okanagan pair of Dean Claggett (Two Eagles) and Greg Machtaler (Summerland G&CC). Each third-place team earned $1,300 for its efforts. ■ Chris McEachran Law of Vernon G&CC placed third at 80-74-154 in the Boston Pizza-presented Maple Leaf Junior Tour Dylan Reichelt Memorial at Hazelmere Golf Club in Surrey. The tournament paid tribute to the memory of Reichelt, a MJT member who died in a car accident last November. He was the son of longtime B.C. Lions’ trainer Bill Reichelt. Steven Hayes, 18, of Surrey won in his first-ever MJT event, firing 71-72-143. Runner-up was Steve Lee of Kelowna, 17, at 76-74-150. Dylan Reichelt’s twin brother, Jesse, tied for fourth at 75-80-155. McEachran-Law, 18, won the boys 17-19 division Sundog Eyewear skills contest. In the boys 14-16 category, Matt McEachran-Law, 16, finished in a three-way tie for sixth, at 81-73-154. Marcus Brown of Surrey claimed the title at 72-75-147.

Outlaws deal Dr. Lee first loss Morning Star Staff
Deliver the North Okanagan’s best read newspaper to the homes in your neighbourhood.
The Little Tex Outlaws spoiled Dr. Lee Dental Clinic’s bid for an unbeaten season with a 3-1 victory Tuesday night at Marshall Field #4. Jenn Kemper scored twice as the second-place Outlaws surprised the 13-1-2 Floss crew with a consistent attack, led by tireless striker Brittany Davison. Kemper scored her first goal off a cross by Anita Rae, for the only first-half tally. She added the winner on a solo effort. Christine Fraser completed the 8-6-1 Outlaws’ offence with a long shot over keeper Lisa Arrotta’s head, with 10 minutes remaining. It was a hard-fought game with a few yellow cards issued by referee Wayne Aasen. “It was a true team effort, especially considering we were missing some key players,” said Little Tex veteran defender Stacey Cover. “Our defence was outstanding. keeping Dr. Lee’s chances to a minimum and making the chances they did get hard.” Monica Neilson, Cover, Kristy Anderson and Kelsey Krahn were all stellar on the Little Tex back line. Davison made many hard runs and battled hard for the ball, just failing on a few scoring chances. Jasmine Whitling and Rae ran miles in the middle in setting up several intelligent plays, while midfielders Lisa Stewart and Elina Huisken put in some great runs up the channel and delivered some beautiful crosses into the middle. “We knew we were in tough without (Jacquie) Hansen, (Kirsten) Dodds and (Maddie) Kaneda,” said Dr. Lee coach Akbal Mund. “But, they played well; we tired in the end.”

The Longhorn Impact shut down the Shuswap Merlot 4-0 at Marshall #3 on a hot, hazy night due to the grassfire at The Rise. Denise Bourdon pounced on a ball bobbled by the keeper and buried the Impact’s opening goal. Janelle Smithson sent a beautiful shot from the corner flag soaring toward the net and nodded in top shelf by Edeen Ramsey. The ever-consistent Myra McEwan, who unselfishly had been setting up the forwards all night, took a great feed from Jodi Hawthorne and zig zagged by the defenders before going low. Kim Weibe finished the Longhorn attack when she teed up a pass from Suzie Andrews and beat the keeper high to the middle. Dawn Heiss started the play on a corner. Longhorn keeper Julie Hamer faced one shot and distributed goal kicks out to the half line for endless opportunities. TED United of Salmon Arm, looking to go undefeated for the season, grounded the fourthplace Controllers 5-1 at Marshall #2. United scored in the first minute off a Controller miscue which allowed a striker in alone on keeper Mickey Templeton who had no chance. A few minutes later, Jenn Spitzer of the

Carla Gibson jumpstarted things with a penaltykick snipe after being brought down in the 18. Sue Barss made it 2-0 on a bullet from the outside, followed by Gibson clicking again after a masterful through ball from Teresa Collins. Char McNaught converted a feed from Barss, while Gibson completed the hat trick to finish the scoring. Dar Wiese got the shutout.

The 17-year-old finished first in the IGSA (International Gravity Sports Association) Peyragudes Deluxe Cup Junior 2 class, earning him the world No. 1 ranking in the division. Finocchio has reached the finals in each of his last five IGSA world cup events – he was runner-up at the Padova Grand Prix, Aug. 5, in Teolo, Italy; he was third in the Kozakov Challenge (Kozakov, Czech Republic); and took fourth-place honours in the Mt. Keira Challenge (Wollongong, Australia) and Newtons Nation (Bathurst, Australia). Finocchio, a Vernon Secondary grad, has also turned in solid results in the Open Downhill division and is currently ranked in the top 20. He will complete is IGSA European Series tour this weekend in the Descente, in Montreux, Switzerland. The Peyragudes course was used in this year’s Tour de France, which ended at the start line of the downhill race course. Earlier, Vernon’s Zen Shikaze, 22, scored silver at the IGSA downhill event in Kozakov, one of the toughest courses on the world cup circuit. Rain played a big factor in the race, and it was those who rode more conservatively and also had some luck that prevailed. A soaked track, combined with treacherous sections at both the top and bottom of the Kozakov course, caused IGSA officials to shorten the event for safety reasons. Shikaze, who also earned silver earlier this year at the Vernon DH, finished behind Swiss rider Kevin Bouaich. Germany’s Sebastien Hertler collected bronze. Bouaich’s first-ever win makes him the fourth different winner in as many world cup races. He is ranked 11th in the IGSA Open class.

The Greater Vernon Museum is hosting a public open house Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m.
History on view at open house Morning Star Staff
Think history is boring. Think again. The Greater Vernon Museum will hold an open house Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. “See live demonstrations of Captain Shorts’ original steam engine from 1886,” said curator Ron Candy. “At the print shop, have your name printed out by the museum’s operating linotype machine and flat bed press.” — Ron Check out the progress being made on the restoration of the original 1912 tower clock from Vernon’s old post office. The clock is now running and keeping time in the museum. “Want to learn more about the Okanagan Valley’s fresh water supply?” said Candy. “Take some time to see the museum’s latest
exhibit, A Drop in the Bucket. This temporary inhouse exhibit reveals some startling truths about our water.” Tours of the museum’s military displays and natural history areas will be available or take a behind the scenes look at the archives and research facility. Original paintings by Vernon artists Allan Brooks, Baroness Herry, Tommy Brayshaw, Janet Middleton, Charles Holliday, Candy and Howard Totenhofer are on exhibit, along with pottery by Axel Ebring and argillite carvings from Haida Gwaii. “Ever see a 1.4 million year-old mammoth tooth? We have one,” said Candy. Refreshments will be provided and admission is by donation. The museum is located at 3009 32nd Ave.
“Ever see a 1.4 million year-old mammoth tooth? We have one.”

#AETANI FUNDRAISER MAKES ANOTHER SPLASH KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Red shoes, check. Red lipstick, check. Red wine, check. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to paint the town red for the second annual Italianstyle dinner and live art auction in support of the Caetani Cultural Centre. Taking place Thursday, Aug. 23, A Splash of Red is a night of great food, fine wine, music, and first class art held in the intimate settings of the Caetani Centre gardens, once tended lovingly by Italian aristocrat Leone Caetani and his artistically inclined daughter Sveva. The event proved to be such a popular venture in its inaugural year, organizers have decided to make it an annual event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started it last year to benefit the Caetani house and Svevaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision, and we raised $12,000,â&#x20AC;? said Judy Rose, one of the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founders and organizers. With the money raised this year, the Caetani Cultural Society, which runs the house, hopes to go ahead with its open house project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are raising money to open the ground floor of the house up to the community,â&#x20AC;? said the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director Judy Katalinic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope to open the house for salon performances, showcases and other events, but we need to upgrade our occupancy rating to allow us to open the house to the public and for people to live there.â&#x20AC;? The centre also hopes to expand its programming, specifically its artist-in-residency, so that any artist who comes to visit the house will be able to work with the com-

We want to be able to pay any money back. This is also about honouring Sveva. She gave the house as a gift to the community.â&#x20AC;? A Splash of Red organizers are doing their part by transforming the north lawn of the Caetani property into an al fresco Italian cafĂŠ, where a three-course meal
will be served under the stars. To start the night, everyone will be served prosecco (Italian sparkling wine) in a painted glass, with appies, and everyone will be able peruse the art on easels before it goes to auction. An accordion player will also perform, said Rose. At 7 p.m., everyone will sit down for dinner for the Italian meal, catered by Basket Case, with salad, a main, dessert, wine and
grappa by Okanagan Spirits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be a mass frenzy of eating,â&#x20AC;? said Rose, who will entertain during dinner, singing some Italian love songs with local soprano Melina Moore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The dinner) will be served family style with long tables of 18 people each. Everyone sits together, and we make the artists sit with the people so they can intermingle.â&#x20AC;? Twenty-five works of art,
including paintings and sculpture, have been donated to the auction, which will be presided over by auctioneer Victor Noakes, of Antique Imports. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have an incredible list of artists who have all been so generous with their donations,â&#x20AC;? said Angelika Jaeger, who has been collecting the art for the auction. Some of the artists include Heidi Thompson, Julie Oakes, Doug Alcock, Gail Short, Shawn Serfas, Leanne Cadden, Michelle Loughery, James Postill, Sandra DeVries, Colleen Couves, Destanne Norris, Deborah Wilson, and others, as well as some artists new to the event such as Lorraine Burns and Martha Moore, said Jaeger. Artists Trish Martian, Kevin Spetifore and Gerry Greengrove have also contributed work to the draw prizes that will also include gift certificates, baskets, jewelry and more. The evening will also feature a tribute to recently deceased artist Joan Heriot, who was a good friend of Svevaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and also lived in the Caetani house at one time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will have a display of photos in a slide show in her memory,â&#x20AC;? said Rose. Only 100 tickets are available for the event, and so far more than 40 per cent have been sold, added Jaeger. Tickets cost $100 each, and are available at the Bean Scene Coffee House. As per last year, the dress code will be black and white with a splash of red. For a complete list of artists, event information, and more visit http://2012asplashofred.wix.com/ event.

Film is comedy of political error The Campaign
C
ongressmen Cam Brady (Will Ferrell) has been North Carolina’s representative for eight years, perhaps only because he’s always run unopposed. His streak on easy street comes to an end when a billionaire’s odd son, Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis), is hand-picked by corporate lobbyists to run against him, if only to further their agenda. Can Congressman Brady win a fair fight? Will his inexperienced opponent Taylor & Howe survive the public scrutiny and mudraking? Is the film funny, or too much of a statement to be anything but sad? We say, “On the surface it’s Zach and Will doing their thing, underneath it’s blunt satire of corporate-run politics.” TAYLOR: I liked this movie, despite it failing to move me to laugh more than once. HOWE: Hmmm, I laughed a bit more than that. Ferrell had moments of Ron Burgundy’s arrogant, vain character dotted here and there throughout. That’s what made me laugh. TAYLOR: I thought that there should have been more baby punching and less trash talking. In fact, I think the film would have succeeded better with a 14A rating rather than an R. People laughed at the slapstick, they didn’t laugh at the infidelity. HOWE: This has to be Galifianakis’s best role to date. He had to act in this and couldn’t just rely on his comic abilities. Whereas, Ferrell, on the other hand, is just

Zach Galifianakis as Marty Huggins and Will Ferrell as Cam Brady star as opposing candidates in The Campaign. doing what he always does, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. TAYLOR: I agree about the acting. Both of these men had to become someone other than their normal character types. Ferrell takes his character to a breakdown that ceases to be funny. Galifianakis seemed to be channeling his oft used “mysterious effeminate weirdo” character, but it worked well and even just watching his walk was funny at times. Still... HOWE: The Campaign is an intelligent movie. It shows just how corrupt the American political system can be, but it should have touched on more than just the one topic of corporate influence. TAYLOR: That was what I liked about the film, the not so subtle satire of the relationships between lobbyists, politics, big business and the media. Unfortunately, some of the humour is lost in the sad truth
of any good satire. I wished that they had pushed it a bit further into more poignant areas, such as war or health care, rather than just the American economy. Here again the film fell a bit short. HOWE: I was slightly disappointed in the end. The trailer for The Campaign looked full of promise, hope and truth, but like politicians, the film lets you down. TAYLOR: Yes, it’s not a bad film, but not very effective either. You go to the booth, you get your chit, you choose your candidates and still, in the end you are fed the same old formula. Ah, art, as in life... –– Taylor gives The Campaign 2.5 heads in the freezer out of 5. –– Howe gives it 2 true American dogs out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Vernon Alliance undergoes renovations Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Alliance Church has been growing since 1953 when a few people gathered in a living room with the belief that God wanted to be something significant and eternal in the hearts of people in the North Okanagan. The latest renovations to the 1962 church on 43rd Avenue are just part of the faith of the congregation. “We started thinking about a year and a half ago that it was time to update and refresh things for our church and community programs. We focused on the sanctuary this time and future plans are to re-do the lobby,” said campus pastor Will Wiens. The sanctuary received new carpets and a redesigned stage to accommodate current acoustics. The biggest decision was about seating, with several options, including theatre seating, considered. The final choice was for steel-frame pews made and upholstered locally, which will serve the sanctuary seating capacity of 650. The old wooden pews are being sent to a church in northern B.C. The sanctuary, which was built in 1988, was repainted and has new LED lights. “We did a lot of the work between Sundays and we had a lot of volunteer labour and donated materials,” said Wiens. “This is all running really well and will be done by the weekend of Sept. 8/9.” The church, with senior pastor Stuart McKnight, has been holding services at the Vernon Recreation Centre and will have a baptism service at Kin Beach the first weekend of September before moving into the renovated sanctuary. The Vernon Alliance Church has three services each weekend Sept. through June, one on Saturday and two on Sunday with more than 1,200 people attending. The church also runs programs that are open to the community and works with community organizations like North Okanagan Youth and Family Services to provide parenting programs.

: Where are Yellow-bellied Marmots typically found? A: Yellow-bellied Marmots are found in open grasslands, high rocky areas, and sloped meadow habitats, all of which can be found at Allan Brooks Nature Centre. Yellow-bellied Marmots use rocky areas near their burrows both for sunning themselves and for observation of predators. They build burrows that are more than one metre in depth and often have several entrances. Burrow tunnels can be 10Aaron Deans to-70-metres in length. They generally choose the best drained soils in their territory in which to build. Burrows built for hibernation are as much as five-to-seven metres deep. For reproduction, they
ALL THINGS NATURAL
build grass nests inside the burrows. Q: What do Yellow-bellied Marmots eat? A: Marmots are mainly herbivores, but they may consume some animals occasionally. Yellow-bellied Marmots eat the leaves and blossoms of many different plants and grasses. They also eat some fruits, legumes, grains, and even occasionally insects. In the late summer, they forage for seeds in preparation for winter hibernation. They confine themselves to food found on or near the ground. No food is stored for hibernation; marmots rely on accumulated body fat to provide them energy during the fall and winter of each year. Q: Have Yellow-bellied Marmots already started hibernating? A: Yes, the Yellow-bellied Marmots at Allan Brooks Nature Centre have now all gone underground for the season. Their period of hibernation typically occurs from early August
through early March each year. The Yellow-bellied Marmot, like other ground-burrowing rodents, is an obligate hibernator whose body temperature drops to near ambient (environmental) temperature. Their heart rate and respiration rates slow drastically, and the animal appears to be in a deep sleep. Hibernation is a physiological adaptation that some animals have acquired to survive conditions where food is scarce. All Things Natural is a public education and community engagement project of Allan Brooks Nature Centre Society that is aimed at promoting public enjoyment and increasing awareness and appreciation of nature in the Okanagan. If you have a question about nature that you’ve always wanted to know or recently wondered, please send your question via email to askanaturalist@gmail.com. Aaron Deans is the executive director of the Allan Brooks Nature Centre Society.

When the boy wanted a snack, I told him to ask his father to fix him something. He replied, “Daddy is taking a nap and told me you would have food.” When I suggested to my nephew that he go to the store and get something, he simply said “no.” Last month, my brother came with his other son and daughter-in-law. After several exhausting days, I suggested we all chip in for a pizza. When it arrived, my brother paid me, but my nephew just took his share and walked into the living room.

In today’s world of high tech and increasing changes, what values will help to inspire and sustain children as they become young adults? These young adults will likely have several careers during their lives, and will need to be lifelong learners because many of the jobs and interests they will have don’t yet exist. Life is changing at an accelerated pace – faster than ever before. How can we prepare a generation that will be comfortable with change, and that will have the tools and the willingness to confront — and solve — the many problems of our global society? Many parents of today are looking for an alternative educational experience for their children. An increasing number of parents are looking at the big picture and investigating Waldorf education, a worldwide approach to education for preschool through Grade 12 developed by Rudolf Steiner and thousands of teachers on five continents. In the past 20 years, Waldorf has become the largest privateschool movement in the world,

Genetic disorder is topic of discussion Morning Star Staff
Hemochromatosis is the most common genetic disorder in Canada but few people know much about it. The inherited disorder causes the body to absorb up to three times the normal amount of iron. Over the years, the excess iron builds up in the vital organs, joints and tissues where it can cause a number of debilitating and potentially fatal conditions such as liver and heart disease, diabetes, impotence and arthritis. One in nine people, mostly of Northern European descent, are carriers of the most common type hereditary hemochromatosis (HHC) and one in 300 are estimated to have the gene that puts them at risk for iron overload. Until recently, medical professionals were taught
that hemochromatosis was an extremely rare disorder, so it was not often diagnosed by medical professionals. However, now a diagnosis can be made through a simple blood test. The current treatment is the regular removal of blood until iron levels return to normal. The Canadian Hemochromatosis Society, based in Richmond, B.C., was established to create awareness about this disorder and its treatment. Society executive director, Bob Rogers, will be in Vernon Tuesday for a free information session about hemochromatosis and its diagnosis, treatment and management. The session takes place Aug. 21 at 7 p.m. at the Best Western Plus Vernon Lodge and Conference Centre at 3914-32nd St., Vernon.
BIBLE BASICS
Lev. 16:9: “Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD’s lot fell...for a sin offering.” Vs. 8: “Aaron shall cast lots upon the 2 goats: one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat.” The 1st goat forfeited his life to show the means of atonement; the 2nd goat served to illustrate the effect of atonement. The 2 goats represent the Lord Jesus Christ in his death and resurrection, Acts 10:39-40: Peter, speaking of Christ, says: “whom they slew (the 1st goat)...him God raised up...and showed him openly.”

Some exciting changes are in the offing for you in the year ahead. Coupled with what you already have going, life is likely to become far more electrifying as the months ahead unfold, as long as you are responsive to new happenings.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Someone who is known to be a gossiper might say something nasty and unfounded about a mutual friend. Don’t stand idly by squelch the rumor with alacrity.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) If faced with opposition from others, abide by what your inner feelings tell you is the right thing to do. The important thing is not to respond in a manner that is offensive.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Don’t be so quick to invite someone home without first checking with the family to see if the welcome mat is out. Someone in the household might need privacy.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Sometimes it’s smart to follow an intuition or a hunch, but if your logic and common sense are telling you to do otherwise, follow their lead. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) There is a strong chance that you could place your trust in an acquaintance whom you know from experience isn’t too reliable. If havoc results, you’ll have only yourself to blame. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Should you come up with a bright idea for an improvement, just be careful that you don’t destroy the good that was already there in the process. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Normally you’re a disciplined person who tries to be careful about expressing yourself. If this caution is not in effect, you could blurt out something offensive. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If people you’re involved with lack vision and positive perspective, don’t let them override you. Go your own way.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) An associate at work might try to take credit for one of your ideas when you’re not looking. Be prepared to speak up and let the truth be known the minute you hear about it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) If you find yourself involved in a joint endeavor that requires more funding than anyone anticipated, don’t think you have to stay the course. Pull out as quickly as possible.
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.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You might find a polite way to terminate a relationship that is of dubious value at best. It’s an association you’ve been trying to unwind for some time. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Unless you take your duties and responsibilities seriously, chances are they’ll end up plaguing you well into next week. You can hide, but you can’t escape.

Have any old unused tires sitting around the yard or in the garage? This week Kal Tire is presenting a great opportunity to dispose of them in an environmentally friendly way. Tire Stewardship BC is teaming up with the Anderson Way Kal Tire to host a Tire Roundup on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The round-up gives people a chance to bring old unwanted tires – either on rim or off – to Kal Tire for recycling. “It’s important to avoid the waste. If they don’t get recycled it ends up in the environment,” said Mike Hennessy, TSBC executive director. According to Hennessy, tires have a major impact on the environment if they’re disposed of improperly. “They’re an ideal breeding ground for bugs and rodents,” said Hennessy “They’re also a major fire hazard and that was a big driver towards getting these programs started up,” he said. Following the round-up, the recycled tires will be ground up and used for new projects such as playground surfacing, athletic tracks and flooring in B.C. communities. Such round-ups have proven to be successful, sometimes getting upwards of 15,000 tires, which go a long way in keeping them
out of the environment. The recycled tires are used for community projects throughout B.C. The projects are made possible by TSBC’s Community Grant program which provides funding to recipients to use the recycled rubber in our communities. In 2011, TSBC’s grant program kept more than a half a million pounds of tires out of the landfills and contributed over $600,000 to communities throughout the province for recycled rubber projects. Vernon is just one of the communities that benefitted from those grants, receiving grants on three separate projects, including resurfacing of the water park in Polson Park. In addition to the round-up, there will also be a barbecue with proceeds going towards The Salvation Army Food Bank, making it a great way to support two great causes in just one stop.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder THE POINTS POINT TOWARD A DEFENSE William Gilmore Simms was a 19th-century poet, novelist and historian who Edgar Allan Poe thought was the best American novelist ever. Simms said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe that economists put decimal points in their forecasts to show they have a sense of humor.â&#x20AC;? Bridge experts rarely worry about decimal points, but they spend every deal counting high-card points. This usually helps them to ďŹ nd the right declarer-play or defense. In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deal, East is defending against four hearts. West leads the spade three and East takes the ďŹ rst trick with his queen, South dropping the four. How should East continue?
Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sequence showed game-forcing values with exactly three-card heart support. But maybe he should have tried to steer toward notrump. East should ďŹ rst wonder about the spade suit. Since West led the three, he can have only a four- or ďŹ ve-card suit. So South must have at least one more spade. That means spades will supply two defensive tricks. But where are the other two? Count the high-card points. There are 17 missing, which means that West has only one useful card. If that is a high diamond, it is probably not good enough to defeat the contract. Much more useful would be something in hearts, especially given dummyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weak trumps. The best defense is to cash
the spade ace, then to play a third spade. After declarer wins with dummyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s king, he will probably play a heart to his jack. West wins with his king and leads a fourth spade, which East ruffs with his heart queen. This uppercuts South and establishes Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart nine as the fourth defensive winner.

ART SCHMIDT 1926 - 2012
REMEMBERED AS A WELL KNOWN VERNON BUSINESSMAN Art was born on July 23rd, 1926 in Rosetown, Saskatchewan and passed away on August 6th, 2012 in the North Okanagan Hospice at the age of 86 years. Art had been an Optician ¿rst in Kelowna before coming to Vernon over 63 years ago and opening his own of¿ce downtown. Art is survived by his wife Kay; four children, Duff (Sandee), Chris (Sandy), Greg (Susan) and Kim (Norm); and eight grandchildren. He was preceded in death by all of his eight siblings and their spouses. Over the years Art was involved and always found time to participate in many community activities. In January 1960 he joined the Rotary Club of Vernon and presided as President from ’70-’71, later becoming a member of the Paul Harris Fellowship. He was Finance Chairman of the Vernon Jubilee Hospital, a member of the Vernon City Advisory Planning Commission and Trustee of Noric House. Art truly loved this community. He was seen even during his last days with us, still going to work and walking around town with a happy smile on his face. Everyone who knew him will truly miss his great smile. Art was a Veteran of WW11 PPCLI Regiment and a member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Vernon Branch #25, for over 58 years. He played in the Don Ross Band in the Okanagan Valley. Along with “Keith” the coach, created and named the Vernon Kokanee Swim Club – the ¿rst swim club in the Valley. Art loved to snow ski and was a member of the Ski Instructor Alliance, teaching beginners and children in the Vernon Ski Club. He loved to golf, dance, go on cruises and spend time with his family. His grandchildren were his pride and joy. The family run business of Art Schmidt Optical will continue his legacy. Cremation preceded a Graveside Service which was held at the Pleasant Valley Cemetery on Friday, August 10th, 2012 at 9:30 A.M. with Mr. Brian Jackson of¿ciating. The ¿nal Farewell to a Comrade was presented by the Royal Canadian Legion Color Party at the conclusion of the service. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Art to the North Okanagan Hospice Society, 3506-27th Avenue, Vernon, B.C. V1T 1S4. Funeral arrangements were made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD., 5605-27th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 8Z5 250-542-1187
Since 1946
Seven Schmidts Served The following article appeared in the Nov. 23, 1944 issue of the Kelowna newspaper with the headline, Seventh Member of Patriotic Family Now In Forces. “Enlistment of Arthur Wilfred Schmidt, 18, of Kelowna, in the Canadian Army recently brought the total number of enlistments in that family up to seven, with the Navy, Army and Air Force all being represented. The late Karl Schmidt, father of this patriotic family, and Mrs. Caroline Schmidt who is residing here, were natives of Austria coming to Canada 55 years ago. Mr. Schmidt had been mayor of Herschel, Sask. for 19 consecutive years prior to coming to the city to reside, where he passed away in September. Those in the service from the Schmidt family include, F/O Edward F. D.F.M. in the RCAF; L/Cpl John L. with the Canadian Army in Italy; Sgt George F. RCAF in Iceland; Coder Bernard R.C.N.V.R.; Cpl Joe M. radio school instructor at Kingston, Ont; Second Lient. Dorothy L. (a nursing sister) stationed at Lethbridge, Alta.” Edward Schmidt later received the Distinguished Flying Cross. Art Schmidt, who served with the Princess Patricia Light Infantry in Canada, is the youngest of the siblings, who all survived the war. “They were proud of serving their country,” he said.

DYER, Gilbert John
Gil’s struggle with cancer ended August 5, 2012 at the age of 83. He leaves Pat, his best friend and loving wife of 31 years; 5 children and 16 grandchildren: Patricia & Patrick Barnes (Adam, Kelly & Jeanine and 3 great grandchildren: Holden, Logen and Forest); Catherine & Kim White (Jamie, Danby, Devon and Paul); Sandra & Steve Coomey, (Richelle, Brianne & Sean); Keith McLachlan and Debbie Steenkamp (Jessica, Morgan, Holly, David and wife Megan); Kim Clarke (Kelly, Terri and Tyler); plus many, friends, cousins, nieces and nephews throughout the world. Gil was predeceased by his Àrst wife, Mabel Ellen (Dolly), and his infant son, Russel Henry. Gil was born July 15, 1929, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the only child to John Henry (Harry) and Agnes Kerr (Cis) Dyer. As a young lad, Gil enjoyed summers with his family at the cottage his parents built at Whytewold Beach, Lake Winnipeg. He was a Boy Scout, Junior Leader, and a Sea Cadet in the 1940’s. Gil was enthusiastic about all sports and he coached a girls’ basketball team that took honours in their league two years in a row. His love of art was enriched by art lessons at the Winnipeg School of Art and tutoring by the late Alex Musgrove, a past curator of the Winnipeg Art Gallery. Most of Gil’s adult life was spent working as a Commercial Artist and Graphic Designer, beginning as a plate maker in 1946 and then an artist with Rapid Grip and Batten. He spent years at Phillips, Gutkin and Associates, doing commercial art, design, TV and Àlm work. In 1961 Gil moved to North Vancouver, B.C. where he went into the graphic design business with a partner, Lyall Nanson, and formed a design studio called Nanson & Dyer Ltd. Clients included: BC Tel, Mac Blo, Molsons Breweries, Canadian Airlines, Mohawk Oil, Olympic Stain, Reid Properties, BC Tourism, architecture companies and engineering Àrms. Some of Gil’s most pleasant times were spent golÀng. He was a 25 year member of the Seymour Golf Club, two of which he spent on the board. In 1980, Gil met and married, Patricia, a teacher with two children. As grandchildren came along they spent summers with Grandma and Grandpa at Rathtrevor and Roche Lake. Gil was an exceedingly dedicated Grandpa and a remarkable mentor to his family ~ he was adored and loved so much. For the ensuing years, Gil and Pat travelled many times to Hawaii and Mesa Arizona, their winter retreat. Finally settling in Lumby, they divided their time between the Vernon Vipers’ games and bus trips to the U.S.
