Search underway for local woman Morning Star Staff
The Vernon RCMP detachment is asking for the public’s assistance in locating a woman that is missing from the area. Susan Jane Durham, 57, was last seen June 3. “Police were called on June 5 shortly after 5 p.m. by a concerned co-worker when Ms. Durham did not show up for work,” said RCMP spokesperson Susan Durham Gord Molendyk. “She had missed the two previous days as well.” The last time that Durham was seen was June 3, when she said she was going to town shopping. “We know she was at several stores at the malls, however, we do not know where she went from there,” said Molendyk. Durham left her residence in the family

Greater Vernon taxpayers are being urged to expand their support for a major sports event. Royal Bank Cup organizers went before the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee Thursday to request concessions for the national junior hockey championships set for May 10 to 18, 2014 at Kal Tire Place. “It’s in a state of flux as things develop,” said Don Klepp, communications director, of the host committee’s budget. Don Klepp The committee recently discovered that provincial legislation won’t allow it to earn an anticipated $40,000 in 50/50 revenue. Also, while other host cities have earned $65,000 from beer sales, that money will go to the Regional District of North Okanagan. To keep finances on track, the host committee wants to establish VIP areas within Kal Tire Place and keep the revenue from them. GVAC has also been asked to waive its percentage of merchandise sales, about five to 15 per cent. There is also a push to have GVAC upgrade Wi-Fi service in Kal Tire Place. “While the cup is on, we will have all kinds of media there,” said Klepp, adding that the current technology in the building doesn’t keep up with demand. “We lose the signal four to six times a (Vipers) game. It won’t be just for this event. It will be for ongoing events.” No figures for all of the requests were presented. GVAC has already committed free use of Kal Tire Place for the event, while the City of Vernon has provided $14,450 in hotel room tax revenue for marketing. GVAC directors have asked their staff to compile a report on the requests and budgetary implications before making a decision. “Just looking at their asks, they are reasonably small and doable,” said Mike Macnabb, chairperson. Beyond seeking support, RBC organizers say they can reduce GVAC’s costs during the event. “We have volunteers to set up the building and do the take down which reduced the number of staff to be hired. We can also augment security,” said Klepp.

Top athletes take home hardware Kevin Mitchell Sports Editor
Diane Schuetze spun more records than a MuchMusic DJ with the Thompson Rivers University (TRU) WolfPack women’s basketball team in Kamloops. The Kalamalka Lakers senior AA girls volleyball team was so good people said it could have won the AAA provincial title as well. Jim Wilson spearheaded two major soccer projects in the last two decades, the renovation and additions to the MacDonald Park clubhouse, and the VantageOne indoor facility at Marshall Field. They were all honoured with awards and applause at the Tim Hortons Athlete and Team of the Year ceremony Wednesday night at Lakers Clubhouse. Schuetze, who is playing pro hoops in Australia, starred five years for TRU, joining the Pack after a miserable 1-22 season. She was a Canada West first team all-star two seasons ago and took the TRU Female Athlete of the Year trophy. The VSS grad was a first-team CIS all-star this season, sparking the 15-7 WolfPack to a second straight playoff berth. The Tourism major finished her career with 1,399 points, double that of the closest teammate. Well known by her peers as being humble and respectful, Schuetze sent a letter with her mother, Cynthia, to the ceremony. It was read by awards director Kevin Mitchell. “Thank you,” she wrote. “This is an amazing honour to win this award, due to how many remarkable athletes there are from Vernon...Though I have spent

She also thanked TRU athletic director Ken Olynyk, and head coach Scott Reeves and assistants Chuck Ferguson and Cindy Mavety, along with teammates and family for support. “Hopefully I can encourage all athletes of
all sports. We’re only limited by our desire to succeed.” World-class longboarder Quinn Finocchio and national team freestyle skier Noah Morrison, were athlete of the year finalists. The Lakers stopped the Pacific Academy Breakers of Surrey 3-1 for provincial gold last December in Nanaimo. “We really pulled together as a team at provincials,” said Laker captain and first team all-star Toni Vandenbrink, who will
play at Douglas College in New Westminster next fall. “We bonded at provincials and it was definitely the right timing.” Jeff Huggins stepped in as head coach of the Lakers, who were previously guided by Chris Bennett and Maria Hansen. “They just turned it into a different gear,” said Huggins. “It was, ‘OK, it’s playoff time and here we go.’ I think we dropped three sets in 11 playoff matches and when you do that, good things happen. They believed they could win and they just did it.” Huggins said tournament MVP Daralyn Schepp was a catalyst with contagious hard work and big-game plays. The Junior B North Okanagan Knights, based in Armstrong, were the team of the year runner-ups after losing to the Castlegar Rebels in the KIJHL playoff final. Wilson, who has been involved in soccer all his life, took the Builder of the Year award ahead of football guru Bill (Lumpy) Tarr. “Somebody had to do it, that’s what it boils down to,” said Wilson, 56. “There’s much more qualified guys than me. I just got guys like Jimmy Sparrow and Bobby (Mann) and the guys who knew what they’re doing, together. Once there was the first load of lumber on the site at MacDonald Park, it just came together. Youth soccer technical coach Carli Tingstad received the new Pacific Sport Female in Sport $250 bursary from Charlene Smart of Smart & Associates. The bursary goes to a female who has empowered women and girls to participate and be active.

You can remove the interim tag from Spallumcheen administrator Greg Betts’ title. Hired in November 2012 on an interim basis while a successor to Lynda Shykora was sought, the township announced Tuesday that Betts will be staying on as administrator until December 2014. “We have decided to extend his contract,” said Mayor Janice Brown. “What we’re hoping to do next year is starting looking for a new person and have Greg mentor them, Greg Betts along with getting some other projects done under Greg.” Prior to being hired in Spallumcheen, Betts spent 15 years as chief administrative officer for the District of Coldstream, then five years with the Regional District of North Okanagan, the last three as CAO. Betts took over from Shykora, who was dismissed by the township in October after eight years of service. Betts called his first six months working for the township “really great.” “Council has presented some interesting projects, they like my approach and we are working well together,” he said. “Council has been very progressive. They are looking at updating and modernizing their bylaws and reviewing their policies.” Betts will continue to guide the township with some strategic initiatives and working towards the future. “We’re excited to have him,” said Brown. “He’s working closely with staff, we’re getting things finished up and moving forward and we’re working hard with him to use his expertise before he retires.”

A Falkland man has been given a jail term for his marijuana grow operation. Luu Dinh Vu, now 54, was sentenced to 18 months in jail in Vernon Supreme Court for possession for the purpose of trafficking. Vu was arrested in January 2011 after RCMP officers executed a search warrant at his property in the 2800 block of Heywood-Armstrong Road in Falkland. The search located 1,854 marijuana plants in a shop on the property, and another 864 marijuana plant clones were located in a bedroom of the home. Officers confiscated more than 2,700 plants from Vu’s property. The justice also gave Vu a 10-year firearms prohibition and ordered him to provide a DNA sample. Vu’s property will be subject to forfeiture.

Directors reveal expenses richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Regional District of North Okanagan directors insist their salaries reflect a lot of hard work on behalf of constituents. In 2012, 28 individuals received $313,622 in remuneration and expenses for board and committee activities. In 2011, it was $273,47 (the increase in per meeting pay was 1.7 per cent cost of living). “They are very legitimate. We have a very dedicated group of directors,” said Patrick Nicol, board chairperPatrick Nicol son. Topping the list was rural Lumby director Rick Fairbairn, with $34,431 in remuneration and expenses. “It seems like a fair chunk of change to swallow, but there are obligations on behalf of the constituents,” said Fairbairn. Besides being a director, Fairbairn is RDNO vice-chairperson, White Valley parks chairperson and former Electoral Area Advisory Committee chairperson. He also attends Okanagan Basin Water Board. Most of his $6,914 in expenses relate to travel. “For every hour I put into a paid meeting, there’s an hour of work unpaid,” Fairbairn said of reading and research that must be done to stay informed. Next on the list is BX-Silver Star director Mike Macnabb with wages and expenses of $33,349. He is chairperson of the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee. For other board directors, remuneration and expenses for 2012 were: Bob Fleming, BX-Swan Lake, $$33,297 Patrick Nicol, Vernon, $32,849 Jackie Pearase, rural Enderby, $29,786 Eugene Foisy, Cherryville, $29,054 Rob Sawatzky, Vernon, $15,565 Howie Cyr, Enderby, $14,743 Doug Dirk, Coldstream, $14,619 Janice Brown, Spallumcheen, $14,498 Kevin Acton, Lumby, $14,443 Shirley Fowler, Armstrong, $14,007 Juliette Cunningham, Vernon, $12,375
“Many represent us on provincial committees or committees elsewhere in the Okanagan,” said Nicol, adding that 2012 was focused on major issues like meat processing rules and water. “It’s a pretty frugal group. There’s a lot of carpooling and members can put in for stipends (for meetings) but many do not.” In terms of RDNO staff, 24 employees earned more than $75,000 in 2012. Leading the pack was administrator Trafford Hall with a salary of $156,852 and expenses of $11,362. A total of $5.6 million was spent on all regional district staff for wages and expenses in 2012. There was one severance package for $4,300 after a building inspection clerk position was eliminated because of declining building permit revenue.

Real estate sales improve slightly Morning Star Staff
There’s been some improvement in the North Okanagan real estate market. In May, there were 165 units sold, up three per cent from 160 during the same month in 2012. “We expected an up-trend in May which is typical of the housing resale market as buyers and sellers take advantage of the warmer weather and spring market activity,” said Karen Singbeil, Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board president. There were 150 residential sales in May, exactly the same as last year. Year-to-date, sales were down seven per cent compared to the first five months of 2012 (from 583 to 542). While inventory for May dipped 3.7 per cent to 2,471 from 2,567 in 2012, the new listings taken for the month (452) dropped 14.56 per cent from the 2012 level (529). “Sellers have recognized that their properties must be priced within the current market conditions in order to obtain a successful sale,” said Singbeil. “A seller who really does not need to sell is less likely to put their home on the market.”

A silver lining
s the late Jerry Garcia once put it, “what a long, strange trip it’s been.” And no, I’m not talking about a Deadhead revivalist concert, but the tenure us staff have had here at The Morning Star. It’s been a time of reflection for all of us as we prepare for a milestone in the paper’s history — our silver anniversary. It was June 12, 1988 when the first edition of The Morning Star came off the press. Looking at old photographs and stories in our archives (stored as paper and negatives for the first decade and in digital format for the past decade), Kristin Froneman the nostalgia, and really bad hair styles, has had me thinking of why I continue in this business, and why I still call Vernon my home. You see, I was only supposed to be here for four months. My first job in newspapers was as a photojournalist back in Ontario as well as on Vancouver Island, but in 1999 I decided to go back to school and study writing full time. I arrived at The Morning Star a year later from the University of Victoria as a keen co-op student. That summer sold me on the North Okanagan. Not only did I get to rappel down the cliffs at Ellison Provincial Park, and write about it, I was also sent up in a Buffalo airplane, where I was strapped to the side of the craft, leaning over the edge of the deck to photograph the SkyHawks Canadian Forces parachute team as they jumped out. As they fell towards the verdant green and blue vistas of Okanagan Lake and the surrounding hills below, I felt a strange peace despite my stomach telling me otherwise. Come to think of it, I think my boss, editor Glenn Mitchell, was using me as fresh bait back
At rAndoM
then, but it didn’t scare me off from the feeling that I’d found home. At the end of the summer, when the then entertainment editor decided to head to different pastures, I was asked if I wanted to stay. And here I remain. I not only have an unfailing attachment to this community, I have one to this newspaper. If you need to know what’s happening with local government, your neighbours, your kids’ sports team, who needs help, and about all those concerts and theatre productions (hey, I have to toot my own horn as the entertainment editor), you know where to turn. Now 25 years may not seem like a long time to have much of an impact, but when you think what has happened over those past two decades, and how much we have changed and evolved as a society, it boggles the mind. Not only have computers changed how we do just about everything, we now get our news through many sources. It’s a question of who can you trust. Which medium delivers the message you want to read? Where can I get the best information on the matters that involve me and my neighbours? The Morning Star, and community papers in general, still offer an outlet where you can read the news without having to recharge a battery — or batter your eyes with too much screen time. But we’ve also had to evolve with the times, so you can read us online too. And don’t get me started on how we’ve had to change as journalists — in the way we write, take and process photos, lay out pages, and even think. Yes, 25 years can seem like a century when it comes to this business, but I am so glad that 13 years ago, I was asked to make a commitment to one of them. So to The Morning Star staff and this community, I say thanks for putting up with me for at least half of this paper’s lifetime. There will be a lot of reminiscing as The Morning Star puts out its immense anniversary edition — thanks to our advertisers — on Sunday. I’m sure you’ll be walking down memory lane, and laughing at the really bad hair styles with me.
Municipal politicians from across the country flooded into Vancouver over the weekend. They were there for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ convention. And while their backgrounds were diverse, their message was strikingly similar: Fix the funding. It’s not a new complaint. For decades Canada’s cities have been telling Ottawa they need more money if they are to do the things they are increasingly expected to do. The complaints began in the 1990s, when the federal government cut funding as it dealt with a ballooning deficit and public debt. Today, cities are faced with providing services they never did in the past, particularly in the realm of social services, transportation, and policing. They’ve done this because they’ve had little choice. There is no one left to download the cuts to. Instead, they must find new revenue from a taxpayer pool that is shallow and offers little flexibility. Deferring expenses is an option. But as roads and bridges deteriorate, it leads to an infrastructure deficit. That’s left municipalities calling for a change in the way cities are funded. According to a report released at the convention, municipalities only receive eight cents of every tax dollar raised despite their expanding responsibilities. There were promises of new money at the convention, but that’s not enough. What is needed is a change in the way the funding flows. Canada’s cities have grown up. It is time governments stop treating them like children who are incapable of spending their allowance responsibly. — Chilliwack Progress

Excellent care provided
A
hospital is a place we don't choose to go to unless we have a medical emergency or an illness. We go because we need help and for that, we are extremely grateful. We are certainly blessed in Vernon because we learned first hand that we have wonderful and caring doctors and surgeons and a nursing staff that is incredible. With the cutbacks in health care and the high nurse-patient ratio experienced in many hospitals, we witnessed the compassion and knowledge that helped to bring a family member back home. We were also fortunate to have our family doctor following up and keeping us informed once we got home. Although we are not in the medical profession ourselves, we do have several family members that are. Please know that we appreciate the role that all of you have played throughout this experience. Vernon residents need to know that we have the best care available anywhere, right here in our area. pauline phibbs
car crash There has been considerable discussion in the media regarding the education and general preparation of our young people for adult life. I am amazed that this process continues to be poorly influenced by hopefully, well meaning counsellors. A case in point is the recent flying car crash in a sport's field near Ellison Elementary School. The two occupants of the plane walked away with bruises, probably more to their ego than their bodies, and all students were in classes at the time. In fact, none of the teachers or students of the school were in danger. It is easy to speculate on what could have happened. The same odds are with us when we cross the street in traffic. We are in danger of producing a society where we discourage making decisions and rely constantly for this to be done for us. The use of counsellors in such a manner, for teachers and students, is to be deplored. These so-called experts should only be used in extreme cases, if at all. I am reminded of the film Crocodile Dundee where Mick is told that a guest at the reception had her own therapist to discuss her problems. Mick replied,"Ain't she got no

top marks I wish to extend my thanks to Dr. Splawinski’s wonderful surgical team at Vernon Jubilee Hospital for my recent hip joint replacement. Thanks also to the hospital’s wonderful nursing staff. I was impressed with the sense of camaraderie amongst the nurses and the housekeeping staff. That good fellowship makes for a very healing atmosphere! I thought the food was tasty. One could even choose one’s breakfast from a long list of options. The toasted bread was hearty and nutritious and all the meals were very nicely presented. If I go to the website, www.cbc. ca/news/health/features/ratemyhospital, I shall give VJH very good marks! Frances hill vandalism woes Well, another May long weekend has come and gone, and I for one am sort of happy it is done with for another year. It seems that every May long weekend, the people of Vernon and surrounding areas are left to clean up the trash and graffiti that visitors, and some residents, are prone
to leaving around. On May 19, I went to get a paper from the box near my home, but there weren't any. OK, maybe I'm too early, so I went to another one, none there either. Hmm, interesting. They are usually out by now I was thinking. As I drove down Silver Star Road to work, I saw where all the newspapers were. All along the road. Some adolescent with nothing better to do than destroy other peoples property had emptied several boxes along Silver Star Road and threw them to the wind. They were all over the road, in the ditches on both sides and in peoples' yards. The owners of those properties had to go out and clean up your mess, yet again. Then I noticed that a couple of for sale signs had also been damaged-likely the very same people who threw the newspapers around as they were in the same general area. I for one am getting tired of cleaning up the crap that others leave behind, be it broken liquor bottles in my yard or fast food containers that were thrown from a vehicle. It is time that you children grow up and quit acting like a bunch of juvenile delinquents. If you want to destroy someone's property, destroy your own, not mine, not my neighbours, and not city owner property either.

I am also getting tired of seeing overturned bus benches, Canada Post boxes and tagging on buildings and public property. The vandalism has got to stop, and we all need to take a stand on it and say enough. The police can't be everywhere at once, so the rest of us need to be proactive on this. Put on your outside lights every night and if you see something or someone, let them know that you are watching them. This might help, and hopefully we will all see a decrease in the vandalism around our city. l.

crashed in a Vernon elementary school field last month will soar again. Pilot Ray Siebring doesn’t have a flight date set just yet but he isn’t letting the May 10 accident at Ellison Elementary keep him grounded. “We believe that it is worthwhile,” said the Kelowna pilot who brought the Maverick flying car off the ground through Aviation Education Initiative – a non-profit Siebring founded. But before any engines are fired up, the car (fabricated with an aircraft engine and fabric wing) needs some significant repairs. Approximately $30,000 worth. “The significant damage was to the vehicle,” said Siebring, thankful he and his passenger only received
“I just walked away from that, that’s amazing.” — Ray Siebring
minor injuries. While his passenger was able to escape the crash on his own, Siebring is forever grateful to a Good Samaritan (one of the teachers at Ellison) who helped him out of the wreck. “I just walked away from that, that’s amazing,” he said, recalling historic aviation attempts that many have not survived. “There’s lots of failures in aviation.” Siebring is also grateful for the fact that he and the AEI can learn from the mistakes of that May flight. He knew something wasn’t right when they
left the Vernon airport that day, which is why he tried to loop the Maverick back around to land back on the tarmac. “Immediately on take-off we knew we had a problem.” Through airport surveillance footage, film from two aviation publications and the footage from several on-board cameras, they have been able to pinpoint exactly what went wrong. “We’re thankful the cameras were rolling,” said Siebring. “The majority of the cause was a line tangle which deformed our wing,” he said, also noting an issue with the
centre of gravity and turbulence. “It’s the equivalent of someone taking a sledge hammer to your wing.” Knowing what went wrong will assist the rebuild of the Maverick to ensure no such incidents occur again. It’s a matter of time and money that will determine when Siebring will be back in the driver’s seat of the Maverick. If it returns to Florida, where it was manufactured, it likely won’t be fixed until next year. But considering the vast amount of interest and conversations the “flying car” sparked, Siebring suggests there could be a better option. “Ideally it would be great to get some community buy-in.” For more information on the Maverick visit www.flyaei.com
Directors want highway changes richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Local politicians continue to demand action over a dangerous intersection. Regional District of North Okanagan board members reiterated Wednesday that they want a meeting with the Ministry of Transportation to discuss Highway 97 and Birnie Road, the access to Greater Vernon’s landfill.
Patrick Nicol
“They need to pay attention to this,” said Patrick Nicol, chairperson. “We’ve written to them once and we’ve been ignored.” RDNO opposes a ministry plan to turn the intersection of Highway 97 and Birnie Road into a right-in, right-out only. The concern is the right-out on to Highway 97 would force landfill users to go to Highridge or Bailey roads, creating safety issues and an inconvenience for motorists. RDNO has suggested an another alternative, a one-way bridge from Birnie Road northbound to Highway 97 crossing the highway.

Spallumcheen’s mayor had the most expenses among council members in 2012. But it’s also because she attended more conferences and had different travel schedules. In the township’s annual council remuneration and expense report, Janice Brown claimed nearly $7,000 in expenses last year. Add that to her salary of $18,818.98 and Mayor Brown claimed $25,525.18 in expenses. “Now that I’m part of the mayors’ caucus, I had to go a conference, had to go an Janice Brown extra day early to UBCM due to a mayors’ meeting and I attended the COFI (Council of Forest Industries),” said Brown. “Those are the two functions I did over and above.” Brown feels the expenses are justified and said her council is working hard to collectively tighten their belts. “We’ve all been very diligent to cut back on all the costs on what we do now,” she said. “That will reflect more in next year’s report.” Each of the six Spallumcheen councillors made
$9,410.03 in salary. First-year councillor Joe Van Tienhoven claimed the most expenses, $4,917.37. Coun. Andrew Casson claimed the least, $954.17. The annual report, submitted by the township’s chief financial officer, Brian Freeman-Marsh, is mandated by the Community Charter, and must also include a list of employees who made more than $75,000, as well as a list of suppliers of goods and services where the township paid more than $25,000. Topping the employee list is former administrator Lynda Shykora, who was terminated by the township in October after eight years on the job. Shykora made $109,065.26 in 2012. Four other employees made more than $75,000: public works manager Ed Forslund ($95,554.27); public works foreman Dwayne Sintich ($88,701.16); Freeman-Marsh ($85,562.67); and fire inspector Alastair Crick ($77,023.03). The amount the township paid out to employees making less than $75,000 was $741,536.90. In total, between employees and elected officials, the township paid $1,137,326.17 in 2012. Spallumcheen paid out $5, 913,584.94 to suppliers of goods and services last year. The biggest amount went to Vernon Paving Ltd., $1.4 million, and the township paid $868,438.59 to the provincial government for school tax.

“This is the second largest annual donation of food items to the Vernon food bank and essential to smooth ongoing operations.” Demand continues to grow at the food bank. “With over 800 children from more than 1,200 households accepting assistance through the food bank so far in 2013, we certainly are appreciative of the continued support we receive through the annual Creative Chaos event,” said MacBain. “We have run low on several standard food hamper items and hope those attending this wonderful event will help refill the shelves.” The 38th annual Creative Chaos takes place at the Vernon Recreation Complex. “They are prepared to receive food and cash donations in support of the food bank,” said MacBain. “Food bins will be at each entrance door and the familiar Christmas kettles will be at the recreation complex and curling rink entrances.” Items currently needed at the food bank include peanut butter, canned tomatoes and sauce, vegetables, fruit, rice, brown beans, powdered milk, kids’ snack items and other nutritious food items Alternate donation ideas include toothpaste, soap, shampoo, razors and deodorant.

Cancer survivors will once again be honoured in a victory lap at the Relay for Life in Polson Park Saturday from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Sunday.
Relay provides hope
LIVE MUSIC
Friday & Saturday with
Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Living with a non-curable cancer, constant treatment sucks the life from Tanya Gordon. Feeling exhausted all the time, she can’t work and lives each day trying to fight the discouragement that cancer can carry. But since being diagnosed with follicular nonHodgkins Lymphoma three years ago, Gordon has discovered the fountain of hope that is the Relay of Life. “When I was diagnosed I just wanted to feel like I was doing something,” said Gordon, who thanks her dentist for finding a lump on the floor of her mouth. “I can’t work so it makes me feel like I’m part of something. “It’s amazing. It just fills your hear with such hope.” This is the second year Gordon, who is also a relay committee member, will be taking part in the overnight event at Polson Park (Saturday from 6 p.m. to Sunday at 6 a.m.). “You’re exhausted by the next day but it is so worth it,” said the 41-year-old mother of four and grandma, whose entire family will be joining her at the relay on her Lymphomaniac team. She is just one of more than 250 participants, making up 41 teams, who are uniting in the fight for life. So far, participants have raised more than $63,000 towards cancer research, prevention initiatives and support/information for people with cancer and their family, friends and caregivers. Gordon will be among the survivors and caregivers starting the relay with their victory lap at 6 p.m.
“It’s amazing. It just fills your heart with such hope.”

Then those who have been lost to the disease will be remembered with the luminary light-up at 9:45 p.m. Entertainers Paul Moore, The Young’Uns, The Bone, Bjorn Kriel, New Classic’s, Paper Boy, Joyful Door and She Laughs perform (in order) from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. Participants can also take part in Minute to Win It games from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. or field games from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. There’s also entertainment for the kids, and the kids-at-heart, in the We Care activity zone from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. “Relay For Life is an inspirational, non-competitive, 12-hour overnight fundraising event that brings you and your community together to celebrate life, honour and remember loved ones and unite in the fight for life,” said relay coordinatorSarb Tatla-Low. “Each team keeps at least one member on the track at all times, while all around them the party is in full swing. Teams stay overnight in the decorated tent city, united to enjoy music, food, activities and entertainment – and to celebrate life.” For more information, to register or donate, visit www.relaybc.ca and scroll to your participating city.

Vancouver teacher and former Vernon resident, embarked on a world-wide journey to raise awareness about mental illness. He raised almost $94,000 for CMHA B.C.’s child and youth mental health programs. “Michael is a really amazing person,” said Cole Strilchuk, 12, who did a project on Schratter’s journey. “I really think everyone should be aware of the stigma around mental illness and know that one in five people will experience mental illness.” Besides Shoppers Drug Mart, another corporate sponsor of the event is Kal Tire. “When Vernon’s own Michael Schratter embarked on his ride to circumnavigate the globe, raising awareness by shining the light on himself, we knew that this was a cause that we wanted to support,” said Greg Waring, with Kal Tire. “Our aim to support our customers, each other, our communities and the environment is fully embodied by this wonderful event.” Other local sponsors are Inspiration Homes, Prospera Credit Union, Gum Tree and Coldstream Water and Video store.

Crisfield sent to Alberta Morning Star Staff
With potentially eight returning 20-year-olds, plus a few more coming via trades and other off-season dealings, the writing is on the wall for a number of Vernon Viper veterans. Team are allowed a maximum of six 1993-born players, and second-year defenceman Geoff Crisfield was the first to feel the numbers crunch as he was sent to the Spruce Grove Saints of the Alberta Junior Hockey League in exchange for future considerations Wednesday. “We’re going to have a logjam of Geoff Crisfield 20-year-olds and we’ve got to make some decisions,” said Vernon head coach/GM Jason Williamson. Crisfield, a Calgary product who has an NCAA Division 1 commitment to North Dakota, was one of several Vipers who took a step backwards in their development last season, one in which Vernon missed the playoffs for a second straight season. Crisfield was unavailable for comment. After collecting a respectable 1-9-10 in 59 games while playing a shutdown role in his rookie campaign, the 6-foot2, 205-pounder amassed just one goal, two assists and 73 PIM in 51 games last year. “It was a tough year for him,” said Williamson. “Sometimes players just need a fresh start and that’s what we’re going to give him. Geoff saw we’d have too many 20-year-olds and he was open to a move.” With Vernon hosting the RBC Cup national championships in 2014, Williamson said there is an abundance of talent looking to come to Vernon. He anticipates having between 40 and 50 players at main camp, which starts Monday, Aug. 19. “There’s going to be guys competing for jobs and pushing. It’s going to be entertaining to watch,” said Williamson, who is entering his third season as head coach. “We’ve got a pretty competitive group already and I’m excited for it.”

Harris hustles for hat trick Morning Star Staff
Kelowna import Lauren Harris pulled the hat trick as the Longhorn Impact tripped up North Okanagan United 3-1 Tuesday night at Marshall Field #3. The Impact improved to 7-0 top the 10-team North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division. Christine Fraser, who is playing Division 1 as well, showed her prowess by setting up Harris’ second goal with a nice through ball. Dawn Lemiski played great at centre midfield by setting up numerous chips to speedsters Edeen Ramsey and Janelle Smithson. Minda Chittenden stepped up to play sweeper for an injured Bree Pickett, while Velvet Beaumont was brilliant on left defence using the outside channels, as per coach Mike Sandstra’s game-plan. Sue Barss scored on a sweet header for NOU (2-3-3) after a fabulous cross from Cheryl Roddis. It was the first goal Longhorn has allowed this season. Carly Bibby was aggressive and impressive on the front line with several attacks at the Longhorn net.
Setters switch off Controllers
A warm evening in the Shuswap saw Setters Pub double the Vernon Controllers 4-2 in a battle of fourth-place clubs. Jenn Spitzer of Vernon sent a rocket just over the crossbar for the best chance by both sides in the first half. Early in the second half, Jennifer Findlay caught up to a through ball and raced in alone, firing a shot off the far post and in past Controller keeper Leslie Epp. Epp, filling in for regular keeper Mickey Templeton, was the victim of a scramble on the goal line with Findlay putting it home after a Setters’ corner. The Controllers (3-4-1) got back on track as Jenny Currie’s throw-in found Felicia O’Gorman on the touch line. O’Gorman relayed it to Spitzer and she dropped it to Michele Wernicke, who drove a 20-yarder top cheese. Another breakaway from the left sideline saw Jennifer Small put a shot off the post, short side, past a helpless Epp. Setters (4-2-1) made it 4-1 minutes later as Marie Peterson put a free kick just out of the reach of a diving Epp. O’Gorman took a Wernicke corner and drove a header over the outstretched fingertips of the keeper and just under the bar for the Goal of the Match. In Division 1 play, Dr. Lee’s Dental fell 2-1

Down 1-0, star striker Andi King made a solo run down the wing, tying it on a blast to the top corner just before half. After the goal, King was carted off the field with a knee injury, leaving Dr. Lee’s (6-2) with no subs. The second half was dominated by United, who just missed several times before a miscue by the Floss Crew gave Salmon Arm (4-4) the winner.
Blazers stop Celtics
The AF Blazers tripped up the NET Celtics 3-1 in other Division 1 action Tuesday night at Marshall Fields. Starting shorthanded, the Blazers gave up a quick goal by Tori Reid, off a cross from Maddy Demers, just minutes after kickoff.
Once their 11th player arrived, the Blazers settled down and controlled the play. Hailey Woon equalized by knocking in a feed from Jeruscha Bahmuller. Veteran Jenny Hatten rounded out the firsthalf offence scoring the winner with a gorgeous shot from the top of the 18. Woon earned the assist. In the second half, Ali Clarke stripped a defender of the ball and added an insurance goal on a partial breakaway. Defenders Jeanette Maleska, Amber Maltman and Emma Rimmer had outstanding games in support of keeper Katie Hatten for the 4-3-1 Blazers. Shantell Hayhurst and Holly Wylie had several great runs up the wings, while Jessica Brewis and Nicole Stensrude were firm in the midfield. NET dipped to 4-3-1.

Legends secure Bantam silver Tirecraft rolls
scoreless draw
Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan Legends struck silver at the Kelowna Kodiaks Bantam A2 Lacrosse Tournament last weekend. The Legends fell 15-6 to Richmond in the championship game Sunday in Rutland. Richmond, who took 31 penalty minutes to the Legends’ 12, held period leads of 6-2 and 12-4. The Legends attempted to rally in the final period, but didn’t have the energy to stay up with the bigger Richmond team. North Okanagan scoring came from Brady Marzocco (3), Brett Olsen (2+3) and Cameron Lock, assists coming from Conor Webb (2), Niklas Luttmerding and Chase Wirth. Special teams played a big role in the outcome as North Okanagan scored four times on the powerplay, while Richmond scored on all but one of their man advantages. In semifinal crossover play Sunday at Kelowna Memorial Arena, the Legends used 3+2 from Webb to brush back the host Kodiaks 7-5. Other North Okanagan scoring came from Marzocco (2+2), Olsen (1+3) and Lock. Jakob Schweb and Mason McLennan each had one assist. The Legends were outshot 41-40, the first time all season they have been outshot. North Okanagan opened preliminary play by brushing back the Penticton Heat 12-3 Friday in Rutland. Webb (3+2), Marzocco (3+1), Olsen (1+2), Schweb, Wirth, Nicholas Mann and McLennan handled the attack. Kayden Beauregard dialed up four assists and Jayden Jensen-Hunter had one. The Legends kept rolling with a 7-0 win over the Coquitlam Adanaca Saturday at Kelowna Memorial. Webb sizzled for 5+2 and Marzocco

Coquitlam racked up 41 penalty minutes, but the Legends were only able to convert twice on the powerplay. Niklas Luttmerding recorded the hat trick as the Legends iced the Kamloops Rattlers 11-9 in Kelowna. Wirth (2), Webb (1+3), Olsen (1+2), Mann, Marzocco, Beauregard and McLennan completed the offence for North Okanagan, who held period leads of 3-2 and 7-6. Schweb added an assist. In Tyke play Sunday, North Okanagan
#1 earned a draw and a win. Brayden Schwaerzle and Nate Williamson handled the offence as the Legends drew Kelowna #2 5-5. Jaden Overend hustled for loose balls and Cameron Ward was extremely strong on defence. Tyler Martin was in net. Matthew Marino earned the win as North Okanagan grounded Kamloops #1 4-2. Schwaerzle, Tegan Evans, Max Beckner and Williamson collected goals, while Aidan Lawrence was stellar on defence.
Wurtele wins Quassy Morning Star Staff
It was a long, complicated flight from Kelowna to Middlebury Conn., but it proved worth the effort for Vernon’s Heather Wurtele. Wurtele won the Revolution 3 Quassy Triathlon Sunday, finishing the 113-kilometre event (1.9-km swim, 90-km bike, 21.1-km run) in four hours, 22
minutes and 18 seconds. She finished a minute ahead of runnerup Heather Jackson of the U.S. (4:23:22) and Australian Annabelle Luxford (4:26:37). Wurtele, who was runner-up last year at Quassy, transitioned from the bike to the run two minutes behind Luxford and moved into first halfway through

the run. A hard-charging Jackson, unbeaten in her first three races this year, began making up time, but a late burst by Wurtele once again opened the gap to give her the victory and the US$13,000 prize. Wurtele, who has shown a drastic improvement on the run this year, posted a 1:22:00 on a challenging half marathon course. Earlier this season, Wurtele won the Ironman 70.3 Panama Latin American Pro Championships in Panama, and was third in the North American Pro Championships. She races for Saucony, Cervelo Bikes and First Endurance Nutrition.

Concept Physio/Peters Tirecraft extended their North Okanagan Soccer League point streak alive by holding the Revelstoke Stallions to a scoreless draw Wednesday night at Marshall Field #4. Both teams had some outstanding chances, but neither team was able to solve the goalkeepers. Concept’s Riley Spraggs was outstanding in earning the clean sheet. He was supported by solid play in the middle from Richard Meaney and Brock Reim, who stopped the Revelstoke transition game. Tirecraft are 1-5-2 while the Stallions are 4-1-1. Turn-Key FC snapped a two-game skid by doubling up Monsahee Surveying 4-2 at Marshall #2. Monshee (2-4-1) used some nice passing to spread the 4-3 Turn-Key defence for the opening goal. Preston Tucker leveled the score on a deep blast that eluded the surveyor keeper. Turn-Key upped the pace in the second half and were rewarded by a goal from Nolan’s Pharmasave Man of the Match Taylor Horsting. He found room on the wing after a pass from Thomas Pool, and beat the keeper short side. Horsting collected his second shortly after, coolly converting a feed by Conan Ackert near the top of the 18. Outside defenders Liam Eddy, Kyle Goodgrove, Sean Bonnett and Bryce Paterson were active down the wing all night, with Goodgrove using his speed to create numerous chances. Mike Bennett rounded out the scoring for Turn-Key with a beautifully placed shot from well out after some great work and passing from Carson Haywood-Farmer and Andrew Pool. Monashee snuck a late shot by Turn-Key keeper Gregg Douma. North Enderby Timber cruised to a 4-0 win over the last-place Salmon Arm Outlaws in the Shuswap. Simplyfrugal.ca Man of the Match Evan Frederick scored the first of his two goals 20 minutes in after a nifty through ball from Sean Lister. Frederick’s initial shot was stopped, but he out-hustled the defenders and made good on the rebound. Lister then controlled a cross from Brent Poulsen and faked out the keeper, only to cheekily chip it over him from inside the six to make it 2-0 for NET (4-3). Early in the second half, Andy Stein targeted a streaking Poulsen off a free kick deep in the timber zone. Poulsen outran the 0-7 Outlaw defence and beat the keeper far side. Frederick capped off the offence with his second goal against his old team on a breakaway late in the second half. Brandon Enair beat a defender to send in Frederick. Danny Stein and Brynden Buckham shared the one-save shutout. A defensive miscue in the opening minute was all the Salmon Arm Courvas needed to secure a 1-0 win over Riot FC at Marshall #1. The Riot crew is 2-4-2, while Courvas improved to 7-1. The Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels fell 3-2 to the host Nation of Domination Eagle Homes in Salmon Arm. The 4-3-1 Camels had plenty of chances, and were denied by the woodwork three times. Humpback goals came from Nick Pantaleo and Keenan Jespersen off some swift passing from Damian Adams and Enzo Paal. A lapse in concentration for about 15 minutes in the second half led to goal for NOD, who are now 4-1-1.

Anderson feeling Russian rhythm
Trap club seeking members
Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Kelsey Anderson went to Canadian Individual Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships with one goal in mind – to earn a spot on Team Canada at the World University Games. After performing clean routines for a ninth-place finish in Ottawa, Anderson, 20, got her wish, earning a ticket to the Games, July 6-17, in Kazan, Russia. A veteran of the event, Anderson, who attends Okanagan College, travelled to Shenzhen, China for the 2011 Games where she placed 29th overall. “Kelsey is an outstanding example of perseverance and commitment,” said Camille Martens, Okanagan Rhythmic Gymnastics coach and former Olympian. “She has worked with consistent determination and drive to push through so much. In a sport where athletes often leave long before their prime, it is a privilege to work with an adult athlete so focused on continuing

Competing on a world stage among the very best will be incredible for her.” A total of 12 gymnasts will wear the Maple Leaf in Kazan, including five in women’s artistic, five in men’s
artistic and two in rhythmic. The artistic competition is set for July 7 to 10, with rhythmic following from July 14 to 16. The Canadian roster is highlighted by a pair of 2012 Olympians, including Ellie Black, a Dalhousie University student from Halifax
on the artistic side, and Kelsey Titmarsh, a Ryerson University student from Thornhill, Ont., in rhythmic events. Anderson joins Titmarsh and team leader Tatsiana Kastsenkava on the rhythmic roster. Rounding out the wom-
en’s artistic lineup are Erica Devereaux of Logy Bay, Nfld., Sarah Flett and Natalie Gervais, both of Winnipeg, and Mackenzie Itcush of Calgary. They will be accompanied in Russia by coaches David Kikuchi and Jeremy Mosier, as well as team leader Rachelle Valel.

Vandenbrink cards provincial second Morning Star Staff
Keith Vandenbrink of Hillview finished tied for second in the seniors division of the PGA of B.C. Assistants’ Championship Wednesday at the Chilliwack Golf Club. Seymour Golf and Country Club’s Roy Abbenbroek rode a hot putter and 14 pars to win the championship (73-71) by one stroke over his old friend Vandenbrink and Cory Draper of the Capilano Golf and Country Club (formerly of Predator Ridge). Abbenbroek finished with a two-round total 144 and cashed a winners’ cheque for $1,750. Abbenbroek said it’s been a long time since CLIFFORD he last won a championAUTOMOTIVE ship, even though he has a storied winning history in Alberta. “I’ve won Assistants • General Repairs &

championships and amateur championships in Alberta, but that was about 15 or 20 years ago,” said Abbenbroek. “To win here is pretty sweet and I’m so happy to win my first title in B.C.” Vandenbrink closed with 74 (38-36) after an opening-round 71 (38-33). Draper followed up his Tuesday 73 with a one-over 72 which saw his putter desert him on the back nine. “Bridesmaid again,” chuckled Vandenbrink, who was also runner-up last year and has a few seconds in other tournaments this season. “I actually chipped in for a birdie on 14 (Wednesday) and I think a tie for first, but then I doubled 15.” Vandenbrink, who earned $1,025, is playing in the Two Eagles tournament in Kelowna this weekend and the Callaway Interior Tour stop Monday at Sagebrush in Merritt. Meanwhile, at the B.C. AA high school championships, the Okanagan Valley champion Seaton Sonics struggled to eighth place at the Arbutus
Ridge Golf Club last weekend in Cobble Hill. Rainy and windy condition on both days of competition made the course play a lot longer than its 6,100 yards, providing a big challenge to the junior golfers. Matt McEachran-Law led the Seaton squad with identical 79s, while Russell Day (86-81), Mac Gourdine (80-93), Mackenzie Barrie (86-84) and Anthony Peterson (94-94) rounded out the Sonics’ scoring. McEachran-Law was 10th overall in individual play. The Kalamalka Lakers – Matt Kreutz (86-82), Austin Bosquet (84-86), Alex Kreutz and Jared Larsen – finished 10th. The Kwalicum Kondors of Qualicum Beach won the team competition, just ahead of Shawnigan Lake. Burnaby’s St. Thomas Moore Knights’ Alain Tolusso fired a 70-72 to win the overall individual competition.
Vernon clubs go top-12 in B.C. rugby Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Panthers, Kalamalka Lakers and Fulton Maroons finished 10th, 11th and 12 respectively at the B.C. Senior AA Boys Rugby Championships last weekend at Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford. In the 11th-place game, the No. 9-ranked Lakers outlasted the No. 7 Maroons 14-10, while the No. 12 Cats bowed 27-17 to the No. 14 Ladysmith 49ers in the ninth-place tilt. Having not beaten the Maroons for three years, the Lakers relied on auxiliary players to get the job done. Brock Wagner had to play in the centre, while the wings and fullback were all first-year players, as
were four of Kal’s forwards. “It was pretty much a Band-Aid lineup,” said Kal coach Ian Busfield. “We knew Fulton were at full strength with the players they brought down so we had to try to keep the game close and take our opportunities when they presented themselves.” Kal took an early lead when kicking wizard Alex Harper slotted 30- and 40-metre penalties. Shortly after, Kal’s hooker/flanker Chris Leverman went down with a facial laceration. With no reserves, the Lakers had to complete three-quarters of the game a player down.
After another Harper long-range penalty, followed by a try from Robbie Filice, the Lakers went into the half ahead 14-0. Kal controlled the ball for most of the game, except for two strong runs from Fulton players who slipped multiple tackles and scored two tries under the posts in a 90-second span. The first Maroon conversion was blocked and the second sailed wide. “Both teams gave it their all on Saturday but for once our boys, all 14 of them, wanted it more and had to dig deep to win this one,” said Busfield. “In that there were nine Grade 10/11 boys out of the 14 shows well for next year.”

Player of the Match Paige Ralston pulled the hat trick as the Kalamalka Lakers finished the B.C. Senior AA Girls Soccer Championships in Courtenay Saturday with a 3-0 win over the Caledonia Kermodes of Terrace. Assists came from Megan Squair, Teigan Moore (junior call-up) and Kaely Johnson Playing with a broken nose suffered earlier in the 16-team tournament, Julia Kemper recorded the shutout and took the Commissioner’s MVP for the Lakers. Injury-riddled Kal, which finished 15th, earlier suffered losses to the Nanaimo Islanders, Seycove Seyhawks of North Vancouver, Surrey Christian Falcons and Little Flower Academy Angels. It was a tearful goodbye for the Lakers, whose head coach, Derrick Parmelee, has retired and gave big props to his assistants, Grade 12 Kal student Alex Kreutz and his 20-year-old son Brady Parmelee. “They played their hearts out for me during the whole provincials never giving up and I’m so proud of all of them,” said Derrick, who gave special praise to Ralston, Squair, Moore, Kaely Johnson and Emmy Thorlakson.

We only lose seven Grade 12 girls so all the rest will be back next year and I predict they will have a strong team and a good run at provincials next year.” The Archbishop Carney Stars of Port Coquitlam edged Burnsview Griffins 2-1 in the gold-medal match, while Nanaimo defeated L.V. Rogers Bombers of Nelson 4-0 for bronze. Defending champion Seycove finished 13th.
Shelby Jeeves of Mark Isfeld Ice (Courtenay) and Emma Entzminger of Lambrick Park Pride (Victoria) each scored seven times to share the Golden Boot Award.

Bos big for soccer Lads Morning Star Staff
Riley Bos was a two-position star as the Lads bottled up Team Gold 5-1 in Subway Under 14/15 boys house soccer action Saturday afternoon at Marshall Field #5. Bos was excellent in net as he recored a first-half shutout. He then completed the Lads’ offence when he buried an indirect penalty kick feed by Reid Botwood. Both teams battled for the ball and the game went back and forth for the entire first half with no one scoring. The Lads started the scoring early in the second half with Justin Havercamp converting a penalty kick. Havercamp scored again, getting his own rebound off the Gold keeper. Caleb Haberstock then tallied with assists to Havercamp and Eli Garlick. Shortly after, Jacob Bevan dribbled up the right wing and sent a sweetpass to Brennan Seltzer, whose header found the back of the net. Team Gold responded with Josh Hyer beating keeper Weston Vanderveen. The Lads received marvellous midfield play from Aidan Webber Concannon, Wilson Stewart, Garrett Adams, Sean Reid, Jeremy Purvis and Eli Vlahos.

Rylan Brown bagged two goals as undefeated Team Navy brushed back Team Red 5-3 in Royal LePage U13 boys play Saturday. Tyson Hoyland, Declan Stevenson and Brandon Chai also scored for Navy. Riley Kadach, Cameron Bevan and Keegan McRae countered for the Reds. Defender Joe Bateman was the Red Robin Man of the Match as the Mangos grounded the White
Pandas 3-1 in other U13 action. Nick Mitchell riverdanced around a few defenders and went top cheese for the Mangos’ opening goal. Ty Cooke then nicely converted a feed from Brendan Whitmore and Ethan Clancy counted the goal of the game by flicking in a sweet Cooper McGeough corner with his back foot. Speedster Gavin Huggins picked up a turnover and beat Mitchell high for the Pandas’ goal.
Goldfish sink Team White 4-1
The Goldfish went 1-1 in Subway U14/15 girls action, defeating Team White 4-1 Saturday. Latisha Baker scored 10 minutes in with a shot low to the far side. Chelsea Landry scored on a great chip shot after a nice feed from Baker, five minutes later. Goldfish keeper Emma Cohen made two nice saves late in the half to preserve the lead but White finally scored near the end of the half. The Goldfish extended their lead in the second half when Maddie Powls scored after some great passing by Holly Clancy and Cailee Bauml. Ava Haldane supplied the final goal after outworking two defenders to a loose ball and going far side after a great pass by Bauml. On Sunday morning, the Goldfish lost a 2-1 heartbreaker to Team Silver. Team Silver scored in the 32nd minute and again early in the second half on a chip shot that fooled Cohen. The Goldfish pushed hard and missed several glorious opportunities until Taiya Duke finally scored on a great chip shot from 15 yards. The Fish missed on two more sweet chances before time ran out. Melia Correale was supreme on the Goldfish back line.

Users greet wireless code of conduct with enthusiam jeff nagel Black Press
Consumer advocates are applauding a new wireless code of conduct that lets Canadians cancel mobile phone contracts without penalty after two years and sets caps on data roaming charges. The new code, unveiled Monday by federal regulators, applies on new contracts for mobile phones and other devices starting Dec. 2. Besides the ability to escape three-year contracts without fees after two years, the new CRTC rules cap data overage fees at $50 a month and national and international data roaming fees at $100 a month, unless the user explicitly wants to use more. “Canadians may finally now be freed of the worst of cellphone bill shock,” Public Interest Advocacy Centre executive director John Lawford said. “We hope that consumers will now be able to enjoy their wireless service fully and without fear.” He said the code should reduce the mobile device costs of many users. “It also makes it easier to switch companies because those costs are limited and are clear,” Lawford said. Individuals and small business users will also be able to have their phones unlocked after 90 days or immediately if they paid the full price. A 15-day return option is also promised to those who are unhappy with service, along with an easy-to-read contract and an ability to accept or decline key changes to a contract. “The wireless code will contribute to a more dynamic marketplace by making it possible for Canadians to discuss their needs with service providers at least every two years,” CRTC chair Jean-Pierre Blais said. It’s not yet clear how major phone companies will react to the new rules. “We already do a lot of what is in the new code,” Telus spokesman Shawn Hall said in an emailed statement. He said Telus replaced contract can-
cellation charges with a device balance some
years ago and already offers phone unlocking
and a cap on international data roaming.
“We are thus well positioned to support
this new code,” Hall said, calling it “a strong
and friendly set of protections.”

News
New area code introduced in British Columbia Morning Star Staff
B.C.’s new area code, 236, is now available for use across the province. This new area code is being introduced in response to the increasing demand for phone numbers in B.C., which will result in some communities run-
ning out of numbers within the existing area codes in the near future. “The new code will ensure that there will continue to be enough numbers to meet the demand,” states the Western Telecommunications Alliance. The new area code will initial-
ly only be given to residents or businesses acquiring new phone numbers in areas where there is no longer a sufficient supply of numbers within the existing area codes – 604, 250, and 778. “Each geographic area has a different supply of numbers within existing area codes, mak-
ing it difficult to determine when a specific area will begin to see the 236 area code in use,” states the alliance. “There will be no changes to existing phone numbers, but customers may be offered a 236 number when they contact a provider for a new service.”
The geographic boundaries for long-distance calls and threedigit numbers such as 211, 311, 411, 611 and 911 will not be affected. Western Telecommunications Alliance is a group of Canada’s major telecommunications companies.

Remembering the ‘reel’ days of movie houses
Photographer captures images from old theatres, including Vernon’s Towne Cinema For The Morning Star
Silmara Albi likes to think of herself as a visual artist. Brazilianborn and raised, she now lives in Vancouver with her Canadian husband. “I miss a lot of things about Brazil, of course, but I absolutely love this part of the world,” said Albi, who is coming to Vernon for an exhibition of her photography. “I love how the seasons change, and I’m crazy about maple syrup and Leonard Cohen.” Albi’s upcoming exhibition, Motion Picture Projection, certainly reflects these interests and approaches. The series explores the areas of movie exhibition traditionally off-limits to the average movie-goer, while preserving the all-but-totally vanished craft of Hollywood film projection. In São Paulo, she worked as a graphic designer for more than 10 years before coming to Canada to immerse herself in photography, which was by far her biggest passion. When asked what kind of photography she does, Silmara pauses thoughtfully, “I do the kind that tells a story or preserves a memory as I explore the world. “Visually I like to work in series and I’m very drawn to details. I try
Albi’s photograph of a projection room from one of the vintage movie houses she has visited around B.C. to have a calm, warm approach to my subjects, which are mostly people and places. “I’m also drawn to the vintage and analogue. It’s where my fine artwork comes from. One complements the other, just like the two sides of a vinyl record.” Most movie theatres in Canada have traded in their traditional 35-millimetre film projectors for digital counterparts. “Some of these old projectors were 50 years old, and still in perfect working order when they were retired or thrown away,” said Silmara. “I became intrigued by how quickly such an old, reliable form of technology was being replaced. And since the majority of
Brazilian-born photographer Silmara Albi places some vinyl on the turntable. cinema-goers won’t even notice the difference (on screen), I wondered if these old machines would eventually be forgotten.” She has spent much of the last two years travelling the province, exploring movie theatres from Powell River to Hope, Vancouver to Vernon’s very own vintage movie house, the Towne Cinema. Each movie house was as unique as the people who own and staff them. “My work isn’t about change, but rather the moment just before
change,” said Silmara. “I’m interested in capturing places and situations that have survived for a long time, but are only now on the verge of vanishing.” While purists might decry the coldness of digitally-screened movies compared to the warmth of occasionally scratchy film, advocates of digital projection point out the consistent sharpness of the image on screen and the absence of distracting jumps during reel changes. Albi’s series doesn’t take
EstEr BuEno
sides in the debate, however, whether the replacement of the traditional with the new is regrettable or represents progress is left to the viewer to decide. Motion Picture Projection opens at Gallery Vertigo (Suite #1, 300131st St., Vernon - above Krause Jewellers) on June 15, and runs until July 20. Albi will be in attendance at the opening reception, Saturday, June 15 from 7 to 9 p.m. All are welcome to attend.
Children’s theatre camp returns to the Performing Arts Centre Morning Star Staff
Missoula Children’s Theatre is returning to Vernon this summer and registration is now open for the theatrical experience of a lifetime. North America’s largest touring children’s theatre will arrive at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre July 1 with all the ingredients for their new production of Beauty Lou & the Country Beast — except the cast. No preparation or prior theatre experience is required to participate. Participants need only to arrive with a bagged lunch and the desire to join an onstage adventure,
learning a unique adaptation to the classic story of Beauty and the Beast. “It’s an experience that develops creativity, social skills, goal achievement and self-esteem,” said Brian van Wensem, the VPAC’s audience development coordinator. “For those who aren’t interested in being in the spotlight, there are also four backstage spots available that will teach important fundamentals of running a production from behind the scenes.” The Missoula Children’s Theatre has been touring extensively for more than 40 years from Montana to Japan, and will visit
Kelowna • Penticton • Salmon Arm • Valleyview Rutland • West Kelowna • Vernon • North Kamloops • Sahali
nearly 1,300 communities this year with up to 47 teams of tour actor/directors. The production is more than memorizing lines. Missoula Children’s Theatre’s mission statement is “the development of life skills in children through participation in the performing arts.” “While children are learning this theatrical production, they will also have the opportunity to explore who they are as actors and individuals,” said van Wensem. Throughout the week, participants will also have the opportunity to sign up for additional workshops at no extra charge.
These workshops typically take place in the morning before 10 a.m. and will be scheduled and announced prior to the camp start date. The camp runs July 1 to 5 from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Beauty Lou and the Country Beast will then take the stage July 6 at 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. While ages eight to 12 is now full, space remains in the ages six-to-seven and 13-to18 age groups. Registration forms can be obtained through the Ticket Seller box office located in the Performing Arts Centre, or call 250-549-7469 for more information.

Flutist finds a cure for aulophobia For The Morning Star
Sofie Hartwick bought herself a flute because she loved them and wanted to express the music she heard within herself. She blew her flute a few times to get a note, but couldn’t, so put it away. Somewhere along the way, a wellmeaning flutist put the fear of God, or more accurately, the fear of flutes, into her, by commenting on how careful one must be with a flute as it is so fragile. That sealed the spiel into aulophobia, or fear of flutes. Her flute languished for seven years. Last fall, Hartwick and mom Sharon explored one of Caetani Cultural Centre’s Art Marts. They got into conversation with Devon Muhlert, who teaches various instruments from her studio there. Fear of flutes came up, and Muhlert said, “Yup, that’s my tagline: We cure aulophobia.” “I think we’ve found our flute teacher,” said Sharon to her daughter. A mere nine months later, Hartwick plays with great musicianship and beautiful tone. She looks very happy when she meets her own high expectations. Now bonded with her flute, she reads the sheet music which had given her so much trouble. “I’m a perfectionist and it was so frustrating.,” she said. “Before, I felt like I’d failed, so I put the flute aside and moved on to other things.” Hartwick had also had an earlier negative experience with piano lessons. “My teacher was old-school. She’d rap my knuckles when I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t read the notes properly. I got discouraged and quit.” Always musical, Hartwick sang before she talked at age three and a half. She also

But after Grade 1, her confidence was shaken and she stopped singing altogether. Hartwick didn’t participate in school music because she knew that playing in band would involve reading the notes that became an aversion. Recently she started therapeutic singing in addition to her flute lessons with Muhlert, who has a diploma in healing music. She also began to reclaim the gorgeous voice that was silenced for so many years.
Fortunately, Hartwick has overcome both aulophobia and fear of note-reading. She says it’s coming more easily now. Hartwick will participate in the annual spring concert of Muhlert’s students, playing a solo, a duet, and in a flute trio. Other students will play guitar, saxophone, and flute. The Caetani Capers will be held at the main courtyard of the Caetani Cultural Centre on Pleasant Valley Road, Sunday at 2 p.m. For more information, contact Muhlert at 542-3228 or e-mail devonelle@telus.net.

Memories is a great leap back to Earth, bringing new ideas to plug into their keyboards and synthesizers. But behold! They’re back to jam with drums, guitars, bass, singers and songwriters. The sound of the future meets the past, and saw that it was good. Electronic music pioneer Giorgio Moroder is hailed on an interesting moment of discovery, Giorgio by Moroder. The auteur gives a conversational autobiographical sound bite over Daft Punk’s update to a beatnik poetry/jazz jam before launching into an instrumental loop that summons the spirits of Donna Summer and Midnight Express – the elaborate fruits of ‘70s disco. These sounds are cleaned up and notched up high on Lose Yourself to Dance. Daft Punk match up
with Pharrell Williams on vocals and the graceful guitar duo of Nile Rodgers and Paul Jackson Jr. for some autobahn-fuelled funk that struts with an amped up disco groove. These jolly fellows turned Strokes’ frontman Julian Casablancas into a man of steel for his effective Mr. Roboto-like turn on Instant Crush – an emotional performance on some trippy Euro rock. The duo has a leveling ability to make a left field idea seem like a regular gesture. In a classic display of Gallic impressionism they bring composer/ singer/songwriter Paul Williams in to reprise his mopey ‘70s self absorption on to a robot character in Touch. The result is like some weird cabaret – it’s strange enough to
work. It also sets the mood for the next track. In an effective move of song pacing and mood management, the single Get Lucky takes the minor-key holdover and runs far with it. The Punk’s grafting of the Williams/ Rodgers/Parker ensemble onto their backwards/forwards electro-funk is a logical direction for disco – just keep going! The sounds and ideas dreamed up by Daft Punk travel back and forth several decades and drops threads between early electronic rock and its disco-bred roots. The impersonal nature of the duo allows them the freedom to create and unite Euro-rock sounds and electronic links with a disparate and inspired cast of stars for some sonic glory.

Philosophy lies under After Earth
I
After earth
n the not too distant future, due to environmental damages, it is determined that humans are going to have to evacuate the earth. Everyone pools their resources and efforts, managing to build six spaceship arks. Select plants, animals and about 750,000 people travel for 100 years, at faster than light speed, to a nearby inhabitable planet dubbed Nova Prime. The offspring of Taylor and Howe these last people set up a new civilization, starting at year zero AE, after Earth. The Skrel, an alien race with a claim to Nova Prime, show up after 140 years of peace on their newfound home and the humans start fighting a war that will last 1,000 years. Halfway through that war, the Skrel release a genetically created war creature called the Ursa. These nightmare creatures are blind and find us by sensing our fear.
Reel Reviews
While fighting an Ursa, a soldier named Cypher Raige (Will Smith) discovers that he is able to not feel fear, thus becoming invisible to the Ursa. This phenomenon becomes known as ghosting and controlling your emotions becomes part of the culture. Cypher Raige becomes a legend. During a routine trip to a nearby planet Cypher and his son Kitai (Jaden Smith) have an accident that forces them to warp to unknown coordinates. Damaged beyond repair, they must crash land on a planet where everything has evolved to be deadly to humans: Earth. We say, “It’s Castaway meets Predator.” TAYLOR: Everything that is cool about this film is in its exposition. The film wants you to think it’s just an action flick, unless you happen to be turned on by its philosophy, in which case further investigation will not leave you wanting. HOWE: Oh boy, here we go again... Sometimes people just want to have fun, you know? For me After Earth was better than expected. This isn’t the first time we have seen this father and son join forces, Pursuit of Happyness, and I don’t think it
will be the last. Jaden seems to be following in his dad’s steps and starting to look like a good little actor, not just relying on his name to get by (although it doesn’t hurt). TAYLOR: I think for anyone wanting to see an action film, with an interesting story, good acting and excellent special effects, After Earth will not disappoint. But it would be remiss to ignore the parallels it has with Scientology and the works of L. Ron Hubbard. If you go to afterearth.com, you will find in-depth story lines, games for young people, interactive interfaces of future history, videos about survival and the environment. I spent more than an hour looking at After Earth miscellanea. These things don’t exist to fill a need for excitement, but rather understanding. Will the film entertain those who have no inkling of its philosophy? I think so. Does it have an intention for its audience? Absolutely. Go see it and find out. — Howe gives After Earth 3 lung coaters out of 5. — Taylor gives it 3 giant eagles out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Experience trip of a lifetime to India Morning Star Staff
After three intense trips to India with students from the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District, the organizers are offering a 16-day adventure for adults this November. While the student trip traversed India from west to east, the adult trip will be more concentrated with less travelling. And unlike the student trip, it will be focused on personal selfdiscovery. “Using the deep stimulation and overwhelming presence of India with Calvin White its spiritual and cultural richness, the November trip will include dynamic exercises in mindfullness and healing,” said Calvin White, one of the organizers and a former Armstrong school counsellor. “India is a natural place to go in order to work through personal trials or past traumas, and at the same time attain a newer and fuller sense of identity.” The other organizer, Michael Donaldson, is a tour guide

who has lived part-time in India for seven years. The trip will begin in Delhi, move west to the Thar Desert and then back across to the centre of northern India and the ancient city of Varanasi. Participants will enjoy such activities as a camel trek, traditional Rajasthani and classical Indian music concerts, a sunrise boat trip on the Ganges, and visits to Jain, Sikh, and Hindu temples, Muslim mosques, Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination site, and many other attractions as well as have opportunities to explore. “Indian train travel itself is a step into the exotic,” said White. There are only spaces for 15 participants. The trip cost is all-inclusive. Those interested in obtaining more information and details should phone White at 250-832-6682 or e-mail calvinwhite@hotmail.com. “Through personal and group sessions designed to open the heart and mind, the participants will develop confidence, confront unresolved personal issues, and emerge with a clearer understanding of themselves and what it means to be human,” said White.

ear Annie: I have worked for many years at a small family-owned company. I believe my boss has been the victim of a scam, but I can’t tell her. For several years, my boss has been communicating with a gentleman who claims to be Nigerian. He keeps telling her he is supposed to come to America in the near future and will bring her a check for $40 million. I don’t see it happening. There are three people sending this man money. By now, they have probably given him more than $100,000. When I am at work, my boss asks whether

around for a very long time, and we are surprised people still fall for it. This man will never come to this country with $40 million, but he’s certainly doing a good job of collecting money from naive people like your boss. Not only should you stop contacting this man, but you also should protect your boss by informing her that this is a scam and she should report it to the local FBI office or register a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. Of course, if she chooses to ignore you and contact him on her own, there is nothing you can do. Some

When the Lake Country Garden Club set out to create a garden tour in 2010, they hit upon an idea that was not only a roaring success, but has become a not-to-be-missed event in Lake Country. “This group of exuberant and organized gardeners has built on the successes of that first tour, and made new and fresh additions to the tour each year,” said Mona McKay, with the club. For 2013, 10 Lake Country properties are showcased, from flower fabulous to water miser xeriscape, and edible extravaganza. The gardens include pocket-sized to grand, with something for everyone. Be inspired by water features, planters, table scapes, and garden décor. Tickets are $15, available at Kel Lake Greenhouses, Woodsdale General Store, Winfield IDA Pharmacy, Farmer’s Fruit and Produce, Art Knapps, Green and Bear It, and other locations. A portion of the proceeds go to Lake Country charitable projects. “Many of our sponsors will be offering specials the day of the tour to ticket holders,” said McKay. The Lake Country Garden Tour takes place Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Don’t miss out on your chance to take a sneak peak inside the private garden oasis of some spectacular garden hideaways. The Lake Country Garden Club meets the third Thursday of most months. “We often bring in special speakers, go on excursions and exchange great information. It’s a great place to meet new friends and new members are always welcome.” For more information, call 250-766-3269 or mona-m@shaw.ca
people have to learn the hard way. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Helpless, Tired Granny,” who is raising her four grandchildren, and two of them are terribly messed up. That letter moved me. My two oldest sons were wonderful little boys, but something changed in middle school, and they became rebellious and angry. They would skip school and run away. They were so out of control that we could not have family events. Counseling didn’t work until we took our older boy to a psychiatrist when he

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Even if certain companions sometimes annoy you, concentrate on appreciating what they do right. It’s imperative that you stay on the sunny side. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) If you have to work with someone whom you’ve disagreed with in the past, try to let bygones be bygones. It’s time to learn how to work together. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Although circumstances might force you to socialize with someone whom you’ve been trying to avoid, don’t let your true feelings show. It will only make you look bad. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Be careful about how you treat a workplace rival. Others are watching you closely, so be a gracious and fair competitor. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Even if you believe your ideas are far superior to those of your companions, you should treat them fairly. A balanced conversation will only improve everyone’s thinking. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Try to think beyond the material. Don’t be concerned about how much you can get, but about the goodwill and consideration that you can generate. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If you are too forceful and insistent, you’re apt to be disappointed.
People won’t want to follow a domineering leader. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Though you’re aware of the plight of someone who has helped you in the past, you might take no action to alleviate matters. This would be a shame. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) When around a friend who is constantly demeaning others, don’t stand idly by. Do what you can to change the situation for the better. You could be an instrument for this person’s good. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your reputation could be shaky, so tread lightly. Behave as if the whole world is just waiting for you to make a mistake. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) No argument is worth the cost of losing a friend, especially if the issue is completely unimportant. You don’t always have to be the one who is right.
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.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder THE FOURTH SUIT RIDES TO THE RESCUE Looking up a quotation including “fourth,” I came upon this comment by James Bryce, an English diplomat and author who died in 1922: “Three-fourths of the mistakes a man makes are made because he does not really know what he thinks he knows.” That gave me pause. What’s the problem? No Englishman would say “three-fourths,” he would say “three-quarters.” The quotation has been “translated.” How is that relevant to this deal? All will be revealed. Look at the South hand and bidding sequence. What should South rebid? He has no clear-cut call. He wants to get to game,
but has no idea which one. He solves the problem by rebidding two diamonds, fourth-suit game-forcing. It is artificial and asks partner to do something descriptive. Usually, responder wants to get to three no-trump, but does not have a stopper in the fourth suit; or he hopes partner can show three-card support for his five-card major; or both. Here, North continues with two spades, and South jumps to four spades. (Yes, North might have rebid two spades, not two clubs.) West leads the diamond king, then shifts to a low club. How should South continue? Declarer should take trick two with his ace, ruff a diamond, play a spade to his ace (getting the bad news),
and ruff his last diamond. He then plays off dummy’s top hearts and top clubs. East ruffs the last top club and leads a diamond, but South ruffs low and exits with a low spade to get two more trump tricks with his king and jack over East’s queen. He takes four spades, two hearts, two clubs and two diamond ruffs.

ELLEN “JEAN” SCHUBERT (1923 – 2013)
Jean Schubert passed away peacefully on June 2, 2013 in Kamloops, on her 90th birthday.

She was predeceased by her husband Trevor Schubert in 2010, and her brother Jim Emeny of Enderby in April 2013. Jean Emeny was born on June 2, 1923 in Enderby, to Nellie and Edgar Emeny. Edgar’s parents, James and Ellen Emeny brought four year old Edgar to ũoin James’ brother Arthur in the Enderby area in the 1880s. Arthur had worked on the Red Star river boat, transporƟng goods between Enderby and Sicamous. They homesteaded together North of Enderby on the Shuswap river. Jean enũoyed a happy childhood on the family farm surrounded by brothers, sisters, parents, both sets of grandparents, uncles and aunts. Her early educaƟon was in the one room school at Springbend. AŌer compleƟng high school in Enderby she went to business school in Vernon. She worked at the Bay in Vernon during the war years. The love of her life was Trevor Schubert from Armstrong. When he was home on leave in August 1944, they married. They started their family in the early 50s in Vernon, with daughters Carol and Marion, then they moved to Kamloops. Son Ken was born a few years later to complete their family. Her family was everything to her. Jean devoted herself to providing a nurturing, loving environment for family, but also for friends and the community. She was always giving of herself and puƫng others ahead, right to the end. In addiƟon to a wry sense of humour, she could immediately see to the heart of any maƩer. She loved all aspects of gardening and devoted many hours to both her Ňowers and her vegetables. Jean loved music, reading, sewing, kniƫng, and numerous other creaƟve pursuits. She was Ƌuick to smile and was always supporƟve and loving to everyone she knew. The family is extremely grateful for the support and ongoing loving care by the exemplary management and staī of Berwick on the Park over the past 6 Ъ years. This was not ũust wonderful, it was extraordinary͊ The family also would like to thank Drs. Schumacher and Wiedrick for their long term care. There will be a celebraƟon of life Monday June 10, 2013 at 2 p.m. at the Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive (access via TranƋuille Road, then turn right on Leigh Road).
