Volunteer Yvan Gaudet of Vernon is decked out in his finest Canada tie for Canada Day celebrations Monday at Polson Park.
rittney Pepper is happy to share her birthday with her motherland. The Vernon woman turned 22 on July 1, Canada’s 146th birthday. “It’s awesome, I love it. Everyone celebrates my birthday every year,” smiled Pepper, who was draped in the Canadian flag, as were friends Marlee Tetrault and Kyle Stacey as the trio wandered around Polson Park Monday afternoon, taking in the annual Canada Day celebration. “I come down to Polson Park every year,” added Pepper. “I was born and raised in Vernon and never want to leave. I’m a very proud Canadian.”
Canadian pride was on full display in Vernon and at Armstrong’s Memorial Park, as hundreds took in the annual celebrations. Brenda and Tom Kirton from Vernon set up their lawn chairs in front of the Polson Park bandshell to hear the various musical acts, wearing their bright red Canada T-shirts and hats. “We come down here every year decked out in Canadian colours,” said Brenda, who had extra reason to celebrate July 1. She’s originally from Newfoundland, which commemorates Memorial Day on July 1 to pay homage to the efforts of the province’s veterans, particularly those who participated in the First World War. Tom’s father is a Second World War vet.
“I love the freedom in Canada,” said Tom, a former Canadian amateur cowboy who competed in saddlebronc and calf roping. In Armstrong, one of the highlights of the Canada Day celebrations was the presentation of the Citizen of the Year recipient. This year, there are two worthy women: Rea Smith and 99-year-old Ruth Bosomworth who each received long ovations from the large crowd. A flash mob organized by SPARC (Armstrong Spallumcheen Arts Council Society) had the crowd clapping their hands as they broke into the Beatles’ hit With a Little Help From My Friends during the Canada Day ceremonies.

Drowning shatters holiday Morning Star Staff
A visit to the Okanagan turned tragic for a Yukon family. The body of a man in Wood Lake was recovered by the RCMP underwater recovery team late Saturday afternoon. At about 2:09 p.m. the RCMP, the Lake Country Fire Department and the B.C. Ambulance Service responded to a report of three swimmers in distress near the Kokanee Beach Resort. Investigators determined that three boys,
ages nine through 11, were swimming just off shore and were being called in by their mother when they were suddenly carried further out into Wood Lake by the strong currents of Vernon Creek. “The boys’ mother yelled for help and other family members, including the father of two of the boys, entered the water to assist,” said Const. Jesse O’Donagheym, with the RCMP. “The three boys along with their cousin and grandfather were rescued by operators

of a nearby paddle boat. Unfortunately, the boy’s father disappeared beneath the surface of the water and was presumed drowned.” At 5:56 p.m. Vernon Search and Rescue located the body of George Klein, 42, of Whitehorse, Yukon, in a depth of 16 feet of water about 50 feet from the south shore of Wood Lake. The RCMP dive team with the assistance of the RCMP Air Services, the Lake Country Fire Department and Vernon Search and Rescue completed the recovery.

Stranded boaters rescued from lake richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Vernon Search and Rescue members jumped into action after receiving reports of three people stranded on Okanagan Lake. The volunteer unit received a call at about 2 a.m. Tuesday that a boat was adrift on the lake near Ellison Point. Two boats were sent to the scene. “The team took off the three people and brought their boat in,”
“Search and rescue does not charge.” — Pete Wise
said Pete Wise, unit search manager. It’s not known how long the
three people were out on Okanagan Lake after their boat ran out of fuel.

A Kelowna man had to be airlifted to Kelowna General Hospital Sunday following a two-vehicle accident on Highway 97 near Falkland. Emergency crews were called to the scene on Highway 97 at Salmon River Road at 2:30 p.m. “The accident involved two vehicles, a Dodge van and a Ford F-350 truck,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “The investigation determined that the Dodge van crossed a double

solid line and collided with the southbound truck.” The driver of the van, 25, from Kelowna, was trapped for a period of time with a broken leg and concussion. Vernon Fire Rescue Services were able to free the man and he was airlifted to Kelowna. Police officers are continuing their investigation and are looking at the possibility of drug and alcohol involvement. The two people in the truck from Salmon Arm were not injured.

lives,” said Wise. Wise says this incident is a good example of why people should check their fuel levels before heading out on to the water and being familiar with how much gas their boat burns. According to the Vernon RCMP detachment, the boat was not equipped with oars or paddles, and that is an offence. A fine could be levied for the infraction.

“With no power and no running lights operational, they became a navigational hazard,” said Wise. Apparently, one of the individuals used a cell phone to call for help.

An apparent bad batch of heroin is making the rounds in Vernon. B.C. Ambulance Service asked for RCMP assistance with a female overdose Monday at 10 p.m. in the 3300 block of 35th Avenue. “Our officers had been there previously that evening for the same type of call only with a male victim,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord
Molendyk. The victim was conscious and was being checked by paramedics. The 24-year-old Vernon woman said she had done a point (heroin measurement), less than her usual amount, and told police the drug “looked different to her.” The Gateway Shelter has been advised to notify their clients of the possible bad drugs that have been going around the city.
Call Us Old-Fashioned… We believe that quality truly counts. That means we stock only the freshest premium meats for your enjoyment, and our service is second to none. If you only think of turkey for special occasions such as Thanksgiving or Christmas, you are missing out on a healthful alternative to other meat products that you can serve year round. Turkey is a low fat, low calorie meat which can help lower cholesterol, and a great source of protein. Roast turkey is actually very easy to prepare, but you can also barbecue your turkey, use ground turkey for burgers, and find delicious recipes for marinated turkey legs and wings. Like all turkey raised in Canada, no growth hormones are used, making it a safe and healthy option. At Askew’s, we carry a wide selection of turkey products: ground turkey, breast steak, scallopini, stir fry, turkey bacon, weiners, sausages, whole roast, segments, and more.

Funtastic weekend hits a home run richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Huge crowds flocked to the Funtastic Slo-Pitch Tournament and Music Festival. The 29th annual event ran from Friday to Monday, with a sell-out 216 teams hitting the fields in Vernon and 82 teams in Armstrong and Enderby. “It was another great Funtastic,” said Jim McEwan, Funtastic executive director. “The comments we got from teams is they are looking forward to coming back next year.” The 216 teams in Vernon translated into about 4,500 people from all over B.C., Alberta and other locations. “It’s a real family vacation getaway,” said McEwan of parents, children and grandparents getting together. Beyond the ball fields, another major focus was the music festival at the DND grounds. There were 5,200 people on site Friday, a sell-out crowd of 6,000 people Saturday, 5,400 Sunday and 3,500 fans Monday. “The highlight was the salute to Canadian troops Sunday,” said McEwan. “We had a number of military personnel there and the crowd cheered them on.” While thousands of people were at the music festival each night, no problems were reported. “The RCMP did a phenomenal job as did our security contractor,” said McEwan. “We are diligent to make sure the festival is safe.” Funtastic has a significant economic impact for local hotels, restaurants and shops, but there is also a direct benefit for charities in the community. “We will have to find out what the final numbers are but right away there is about $30,000 for the (charitable) groups directly involved in Funtastic and then there is community grants of $29,000,” said McEwan. “We also helped out with the fireworks this year.” Planning is already underway for the 30th annual Funtastic tournament next year. “It will be a big event and we will work with community groups to see what we can do for it,” said McEwan.

Festival garners police praise roger knox Morning Star Staff
Funtastic scored a home run with law enforcement officials. The 29th annual slo-pitch tournament and music festival, housed mainly at the army camp in Vernon, brought more than 216 teams and about 40,000 visitors to the event’s beverage facility at the army camp. “Given the number of people in attendance at the venue, there were minimal incidents that took place that needed to be dealt with considering there was about 40,000 visits to the beer gardens,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “The vast majority of encounters between police and the public were very cordial and on the positive side. Our officers felt it was a great chance to be proactive, mingle and welcome the ball players and party to our city.” Molendyk released an approximate breakdown of what occurred at or near Funtastic. On Friday, 5,200 people attended the music festival at the army camp. There were 25 traffic violation tickets issued, one notice and order (vehicle defect), three people were housed at the RCMP detachment for being drunk in a public place and there was one drug seizure. Molendyk noted there was one file opened for an assault but he did not have more information on
the incident. There were 6,000 people at the concerts Saturday with police issuing 18 traffic tickets, two notice and orders and two people were arrested for being drunk in public. On Sunday, a crowd of 5,400 people gathered. There were 20 traffic tickets, five drunk in public place files, one minor was arrested for being in a licensed establishment and consuming alcohol and there were approximately 10 violation tickets handed out for various liquor offences. On the final day, Monday, about 3,500 people showed up and there were 15 traffic tickets and one file opened for assault on an ICM security guard. ICM is hired by Funtastic to help patrol the beer gardens, and Molendyk stated the ongoing working relationship between RCMP, military police, ICM and Funtastic is a definite benefit. “It goes a long way to making this a wonderful event for the City of Vernon and surrounding communities,” said Molendyk. “From the perspective of the officers who worked the event, it was another great tournament and concert for our community.” Armstrong and Enderby also hosted Funtastic softball tournaments, and while he didn’t have any statistics available from those sites, Molendyk said he was not aware of any major incidents happening in either community during the tournament.

Program pursues funds richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Local communities are being urged to rally behind a program that keeps individuals out of jail. The Regional District of North Okanagan is considering a request to fund the Restorative Justice Society. “Restorative justice is incredibly valuable to the community. This is an investment, not an expense,” said Howie Cyr Howie Cyr, Enderby’s representative on the RDNO board. Through restorative justice, people who have committed an offence meet with the victim to talk about what happened and what can be done to correct the situation. If possible, it is a way for the offender to remain out of jail and turn their life

With constant cuts to its funding, it’s cause for celebration when money comes into the Vernon School District. Trustees have given unanimous consent to three readings to a capital project bylaw that provides $75,000 from the Ministry of Education. The money is capital funding from the Carbon Neutral Capital Program (CNCP) and will be used for the boiler replacement project at Okanagan Landing Elementary School. “It’s money that we get to spend, and we would
love to spend it at Okanagan Landing,” said secretary-treasurer Randy Hoffman. The project must be completed and funds spent before March 31, 2014. Okanagan Landing was built in the early ‘60s, with additions in 1968, 1972, 1974, 1976 and 1995. Its existing boiler systems are in poor condition and at the end of their service life. They also use a disproportionate amount of energy. To reduce gas consumption, significant upgrades are required. The $75,000 upgrade will save 26 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.
Kidston Road prepares for trail Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Despite a small gap in the plan, tracks are being made to extend a trail on Kidston Road. Details are being worked out for the second phase of the Kidston Road multi-use pathway, which will be built on the east side of the road and go to the corner of Kidston and Coldstream Creek roads
It will connect to the existing phase one of the path which connects the Palfrey Road pathway to the red gate entrance at Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. There’s just one gap in the plan. The trail will end adjacent to a Kidston Road property, due to land acquisition that could not be achieved. The trail will then start back up at the end of the
property. “It will put them (trail users) back out onto the shoulder,” explains Michael Baker, director of engineering services. The trail will be three-metres wide of asphalt, which one politician isn’t keen on. “We are rural living at its best so I think the paths should have rural character,” said Coun. Maria Besso.

around. “If we can nip a potential career criminal in the bud, it’s huge,” said Juliette Cunningham, Vernon director. The program serves Vernon, Spallumcheen, Armstrong, Enderby, Coldstream, Lumby and five electoral areas. However, it currently only receives $50,000 a year from the City of Vernon. The budget for 2014 is $75,000 and the society is seeking $25,000 from RDNO, $42,000 from Vernon and the remainder would come from fundraising and other sources. Jackie Pearase, rural Enderby director, believes there is a need for restorative justice to become a provincially funded program because of the positive financial impact it has on policing and the courts. “How much have you saved the criminal justice system?” she said.

Armstrong council keeps expenses down roger knox Morning Star Staff
Part of Armstrong’s healthy financial picture is the work council does to keep its own expenses down. The city has released its 2012 annual report, which includes the schedule of remuneration and expenses for staff. Mayor Chris Pieper earned $21,739 in salary and claimed nearly $3,000 in expenses for a total of $24,667. Each of the six councillors made $12,371 in salary while Coun. Ryan Nitchie topped the
“It’s a conscious goal to keep expenses to a minimum.” — Chris Pieper
expenses list at $3,653. John Trainor did not claim any expenses in 2012. In total, $112,096 was paid to council in salary and expenses. “It’s a conscious goal on the part of council to keep expenses to a minimum,” said Pieper. “Our main expenses are for UBCM (Union
of British Columbia Municipalities annual convention). I would imagine 80 per cent of expenses are for that trip. We don’t send everybody, we send a percentage of council so it reflects on our expenses.” The city is mandated to provide a yearly report of its financial
information, including those staff who make $75,000 or more. In Armstrong, there are four: administrator Patti Ferguson ($121,962 which includes salary and expenses); chief financial officer Terry Martens ($91,874); water/waste-water operator Kerry Fox
($71,176) and deputy corporate officer Melinda Stickney ($76,208). In total, nearly $800,000 was spent in 2012 on staff salaries. In his 45-page report, Martens outlined that, financially, the city is in a healthy state. The net worth of the municipality is nearly $50 million which includes infrastructure, and, last year there was a surplus of $118,641. One of the better financial indicators is long term debt per capital. Armstrong’s is $176.68 per head, down
Highway 97A closed to traffic in Grindrod richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Motorists were heading for detours as a major North Okanagan route was shut down over the long weekend. Highway 97A, two kilometres north of Grindrod, was closed late Monday because of culvert issues and it remained unavailable until late Tuesday.
“We didn’t want to take any chances,” said Murray Tekano, Ministry of Transportation district manager. A depression was first discovered on the highway Monday morning and it was repaired. But later that day, the area began to collapse because of a culvert. “We needed to close the road down so we could excavate the highway and see
what kind of repairs were needed,” said Tekano. It’s not known if the culvert was in poor repair or had been compromised by heavy water flows. A decision was made by the ministry at about 6:30 p.m. to halt traffic and divert motorists north via Highway 97B to Salmon Arm.
from $192.94 the year before. “It’s still very low,” said Martens. “I did some research and we have the second lowest debt per capital in the region.” Net capital assets, said Martens, are also a good measure of the ability of the municipality to pay off its liabilities from its financial assets at any one given point in time. Armstrong’s net capital assets sit at $45.2 million, up from $44.5 million in 2011. In 2012, the city paid
SS
$6.5 million in supplier payments of $25,000 or higher, the largest being nearly $1.2 million in trust to Senad Sijeric, notary public. That was for payment for the Heaton Place seniors complex centre units the city bought. The city also gave nearly $70,000 in tax exemptions to 21 church and non-profit organizations. “I think our finances are in really good shape,” said Pieper. Copies of the report are available at city hall or at www.cityofarmstrong.bc.ca.

A routine traffic stop in Vernon led to RCMP seizing a quantity of drugs, including the date rape drug. A member of the North Okanagan Traffic Services unit stopped a vehicle Saturday to check the car for a passenger seatbelt violation.
“The officer noticed open liquor in the vehicle.” — Gord Molendyk
“The officer noticed open liquor in the vehicle, and while dealing with it, he located approximately a full bottle of GHB,
which is the date rape drug,” Gord Molendyk, Vernon RCMP spokesperson. “It appears the people in the vehicle may
have been mixing the drug with vodka.” The officer seized a few other partial liquor bottles from the vehicle to be tested, and some suspected crystal meth and unknown other pills were also seized to be tested. Charges are being contemplated against three adults – two women from Vernon

You can now use your credit card to park in downtown Vernon. Installation of new parking meters on both sides of 30th Avenue in the 3100- and 3200-blocks began Tuesday. About a week later, the 3300 block will receive new meters. The meters will take the $1- and $2-coins, quarters and credit cards. The credit card purchase minimum is $1, or one hour of time. However, customers can still buy 15 minutes of parking time with a quarter. “The new credit card reading meters are being trialed and will give extra convenience to the public and allow us to replace some of the meters that don’t accept the newly minted coins or the new rates,” said Clint Kanester, manager of bylaw enforcement. The meters are being installed for free as a trial by both IPS Group Inc. and Mackay Meters. Bylaw officers will be provided free training on operation and maintenance of these meters by each company.
“The new meters are being trialed.” — Clint Kanester
The trialed meters also are capable to immediately analyze data, such as what types of coins are used, space use, credit card use, and will allow better auditing of the system. The meters are solar powered so they will require fewer batteries and therefore reduce the city’s carbon footprint. The meters also notify the bylaw officers if they are jammed or have gone down, so that they can be quickly put back into running order. IPS provides a free information site and survey for users of the new meters online at http://www. ipsgroupinc.com/vernon/index.html.

A burning question
frequent question these days is what happens if Christy Clark loses the July 10 byelection in Westside-Kelowna? Does she have to step down as premier? Can she pursue another seat? Defeat is unlikely given the Liberals’ traditional Okanagan base. However, it is a valid discussion as the byelection became necessary after Clark lost her own Vancouver constituency in May’s provincial vote. Given that I’m not an expert on these matters, I tried to find an answer. The first stop was Elections B.C. but I was informed they aren’t involved in what’s considered an internal party matter. I was then directed to the clerk of the Legislature but I’m still waiting for a return e-mail. Not sure where to turn, I posed my question to Wolf Depner, a politiRichard Rolke cal scientist at the University of B.C.’s Okanagan campus. “Legally, Clark could lose as many byelections as she would like and she would remain the premier as per the conventions of the Westminster system,” said Depner. “Conventions are unwritten traditions and customs that lack legal force but carry political penalties. In this case, the convention states that the leader of the largest party is also the premier. Within this context, it is important to remember that the premier is not a directly elected office. In the parliamentary system, the party with the largest number of seats gets first crack at forming government, with the party leader serving as the top member of the executive.” In fact, Depner says there is precedent for Clark to remain premier and not be elected as neither prime ministers John Turner and Charles Tupper held seats in Parliament There is also nothing that stops an individ-

ual from legally running in multiple byelections. However, Depner admits that scenario could create some challenges for Clark. “If she were to lose yet another election, a very remote chance, she would take a massive political hit. Some, if not many, inside her party could then get out their knives,” he said. Depner is right. If Clark lost a second opportunity to become an MLA, there would be those within the Liberal ranks smelling blood and envisioning themselves in the premier’s chair. Party solidarity only goes so far as was demonstrated last week when Australia’s prime minister was bounced by her own colleagues. But I suspect the biggest push-back would come from voters themselves. It’s one thing to tolerate a single MLA stepping aside so the premier can try and get in the Legislature (as it’s expected the premier should be there), but to keep triggering byelections in the hopes of being successful would wear thin. Elections are costly to hold and, more importantly, MLAs fought hard to be where they are and constituents — at least a majority of them — showed faith in their ability to represent them. What does it say to constituents if their choice for MLA can be brushed aside for the good of a party (under the guise of being necessary for the province)? There is also the belief that elected officials can only understand the people they represent by living there and sharing their experiences. Examples exist of parachute candidates in the North Okanagan going over like lead shot. As Depner has stated, it’s highly likely Clark will win the byelection and become the new MLA for Westside-Kelowna. Some of that victory will be a result of loyal Liberals rallying around the party flag, while another factor will be voter fatigue or cynicism leading to low turnout. But if, by chance, Clark does come second, interesting times could be ahead for her, the government and the people of B.C.
Terrorism isn’t something that just occurs in Boston, New York, Kabul or other parts of the world. British Columbians learned Tuesday of an alleged plot to blow up the stately Legislature buildings in Victoria. Two Surrey residents have been arrested and face numerous charges. It may never be known why Victoria, better known for being more British than the British, was a target, except that the Legislature is high profile and a strike there could possibly be seen as undermining democratic tradition. By targeting Canada Day, a time when the Legislature is crowded, the goal was to maximize the destruction. This incident shows all of us that we aren’t isolated from global extremism. There are those who remain fundamentally opposed to who we are as a society. “These individuals were inspired by Al-Qaeda ideology,” said James Malitzia, RCMP assistant commissioner. But while it would be easy to give into fear, and that is exactly what terrorists want us to do, all of us must stand together. “We cannot let this change who we are. We will not let them win,” said a defiant Premier Christy Clark in front of the Legislature Tuesday. Remain strong behind our civil liberties and democratic ideals. Respect cultural and religious diversity and remember that extremists are a minority and do not represent the majority of any one group. Tolerance is key to fighting terrorism. We must give credit to the RCMP and our intelligence forces for ensuring this plot did not spiral into a tragedy. All of us, even in the North Okanagan, must be vigilant about potential risks, but, most importantly, we must continue to be who we are. As Clark stated, “We will not let them win.”

Spallumcheen roads need help
yself, friends and many others like to travel the back roads from Vernon to Armstrong on our bicycles. Some roads are in very good condition while others are not so much. Any time there is an interview with various members in authority to fix any problems regarding upgrading of these roads the pat answer is always, there just doesn't seem to be any money in the budget. That seems a fair comment, and when it comes to bicycle riders: who cares what they may say, anyway. So we ride, ever mindful of the potholes along the way. The other day, we were riding along Otter Lake Cross Road and, lo and behold, there, between the turn-off to the auction yard and Crozier Road was a paving crew re-doing the pavement. Horses at Kal ParK I am a frequent user of Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. I use the Cosens Bay parking lot to park my horse trailer and ride my horse from there as is too dangerous to ride my horse over the narrow road. The parking lot has been designated by B.C. Parks for horse trailer parking and so do many of us using the park for riding our horses. The parking lot is small and often the horse trailers have no other place to park then on the road or take up 10 parking spots by backing into the back of the lot . Parking on the road creates often very dangerous situations as the traffic is very busy and the horses often get spooked by the traffic. I have heard many unkind words and have found nasty notes under my windshield wipers, using the parking lot if I take up extra space in the back of the lot. Often people with small children and dogs walk around the horses not knowing how to deal with horses and not keeping safe distance . The parking lot is getting too small due to the high usage of the park and I am very concerned about everybody's safety. Also, my horse trailer was parked in by cars parking right behind my
So why do I mention this? Shouldn't I be happy a road is actually getting paved? Well I'd like to think Eagle Rock Road may be next. Tell me why that can't be paved especially when you realize that portion of Otter Lake Cross Road was in the best riding condition of any road from St Anne's Road to Larkin Cross Road to Pleasant Valley Cross Road to Powerhouse Road, etc. There also isn't any point to ask why as everyone of these people is extremely well versed in the art of buck passing. It is always someone else's area of responsibility. I point this out just in case you think there is openness when it comes to local government. I won't get my hopes up as I don't want disappointment raining on my parade as Mother Nature seems to be pretty good at it all by herself lately. bob Johnston
loading door so I had no choice then to pull my trailer out on the road and load my horse blocking the road. This created a traffic jam and a many nasty comments towards myself . The bottom line, is I feel there should be a designated parking area for horse trailers and horses separated from the general parking area. I call on everyone who agrees with me to write to B.C. Parks and lobby for the creation of such a parking lot. I am sure the cost of developing a designated parking lot will cost much less than the cost of health care if someone gets seriously injured. It is just a matter of time before someone gets seriously injured. Kees Huisken enderby tourism I think one great idea for tourism and jobs would be to pave the unused railroad from Enderby to Mara Lake. This would provide opportunities for businesses to provide food and services (such as bike rental, gear, hotels, restaurants) for walkers, bikers, campers all along the route. This would be a great route, providing access to wilderness biking
and at the end camping along the lake. I just came from the south of France where such a route exists on an old railway line. We rented bikes and stopped for ice cream along the route. It was amazing. Janet Cardiff fuel tax I feel like I need to respond to Julia Lissau's letter, "Think of it as a polluter-pay fee." What a pile of rubbish. Once you take out all of the filler and rhetoric from this letter, you are left with the basic facts. Ms. Lissau is ignoring the fact that not everyone, "drives because they can." Many people drive because they have to. What about the aged, disabled and infirm? What about people who live a long distance from work, family, and amenities? What about people who commute between cities for work? What about people who drive for a living? What about mechanics, car salespeople and all of those whose employment is linked to vehicles? If it is so important to build even more bike paths that will be used six or seven months out of the year, instead of repairing and maintaining
the infrastructure we already have, then let bicycle riders pay for it. Lets start requiring bike licenses of $150 per bike per year and toll booths on bike paths of $1.50 each use. We could fine those without helmets and put the money toward a true bike utopia. I know, lets tax spandex shorts. A fine for all those riding a bike anywhere other than a designated bike path. All of the above funds to be returned once the global average temperature drops 0.75 degrees over a 20-year span if that drop can be attributed to people riding their bikes. Clearly the above is over the top, but so is asking people who drive to pay for your hobby. I think bike paths are fine but not one dime should be spent on them from public funds until all of the roads in Vernon are returned to a reasonable safe state of repair. Potholes ruin tires and the tires then need to be recycled. Swerving to avoid potholes creates danger. As to raising the gas tax, think about the big picture and everyone, not just yourself before you start to pontificate about how you, as a bike rider, somehow hold the moral high ground.

The community can now see the new upgrades to the Armstrong Spallumcheen Art Gallery and Museum. From its beginnings in 1974, the Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum and Arts Society (ASMAS), which runs both the museum and art gallery, has actively worked to preserve the community’s history and encourage the arts. In the early-’80s, the City of Armstrong offered the society space in part of a machine storage building and the resulting museum opened to the public in 1983. Five years later, with the help of a gift from Rusty Freeze, a life-long resident of Armstrong, the ASMAS expanded into the rest of the building and added the art gallery. Run by a volunteer board of directors, the building has changed over the years, and more recently has undergone major renovations. “There is a new post and beam arbour leading from Pleasant Valley Boulevard to the main entrance, located on the side of the refurbished and repainted building. The entrance itself has been enlarged and covered with a post-and-beam copper coloured roof,” said Joan Badke of the art gallery. “The wooden door is a work of art. Once dark and cave-like, the entrance way is now filled with natural light during the day and the glow of a wonderful cast-iron chandelier after dark. “ Just inside the entrance, a tomato red wall welcomes visitors. Beyond the entrance and reception area, two well-lit galleries provide exhibition space for artwork by local and regional artists. “The organized archives provide easy access to an extensive collection of early photograph, documents, newspapers, maps and records,” said Badke. The museum features reproductions of a railway station, school room, blacksmith shop, and general store as well as glass displays of items of historic interest, “Volunteers help with every aspect of the museum, art gallery and archives. They enthusiastically work at such varied activities as archival researching, creating and maintaining displays in the museum, hosting opening reception and opening receptions and school tours, cleaning, gardening,” said Badke The opening of two new exhibitions followed the ribbon cutting ceremony and grand reopening Thursday. The AMSAS is presenting its Antique Clothing
and Fabric Show along with an exhibition of paintings, entitled Introspection, by Kelowna artist Colleen Dyson. Initially a landscape painter in watercolour, Dyson now primarily paints still life and florals in oils and acrylics on black gallery canvas. “Taking my work one step further, I have come full circle by bringing my black canvas method back to landscapes,” said Dyson, who is primarily self-taught, “I have supplemented my knowledge with a fine arts course, and have studied and taken workshops with both local and well-known international artists.” Dyson has also been involved in numerous national, juried, and non-juried exhibitions, and has had several solo shows. In 2010, she received best in show in the Society of Canadian Artist’s Small Gems Show held in St. Anne-de-Bellevue, Que., and was accepted in their selected members show in Halifax, N.S. in 2012. She was also recently awarded the signature status with the Federation of Canadian Artists. Both exhibitions run to July 27 and the gallery is open Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, call 250-546-8318 or visit www.ArmstrongSpallMuseumArt.com.

Friends make the right move At Columbus Court, neighbours look out for each other
Free puppy and kitten exams Competitive prices In home vaccinations and exams available New clients always welcome

You can go home again — at least if your neighbours are the good people at Columbus Court. Jackie Hilton, who had lived there for nine years, recalled that things were looking discouraging in the spring after an operation to remove her left leg which was cancerous. She was staying in The Gateby for rehabilitation. “I would look across and see my old apartment and wish I was there but then they took me to see if I could get around it in a wheelchair but the doors were too small. I didn’t know what I was going to do. There were not many other suitable places and they had long wait lists,” she said. “I liked living at Columbus Court and had friends there and really wanted to go back.” Columbus Court manager Gord Adams valued Hilton as a tenant and decided to see what he could do to help. Columbus Court has four wheel chairaccessible units in its 75 units and there was a tenant in one who did not need it. “I decided to ask Trudy Tizya if she would switch with Jackie. All she could say was no,” he said. “But when I explained things to her, she said, sure, immediately.” The unit was renovated to include an accessible shower, paid for by the Okanagan Commemorative Pioneer Cultural Society, which owns and runs Columbus Court. “Jackie and I didn’t know each other but I wanted to help her. I have been here just over a year and some of my stuff was still in storage so it wasn’t too hard for me to move,” said Tizya. Hilton expressed her appreciation to Tizya. “It was lovely for me that you were willing to move. I know it’s a big job and it was

Summer means more time in the sun, swimming and other outdoor adventures. And, if you’re not careful, it can also mean exposure to sunburn, heat rash, seasonal allergies and a variety of other summer hazards. “At the pharmacy, we know it is summer because customers stop by to ask about treatments for itchy insect bites, how to stop the spread of poison ivy their child picked up over the weekend or how to deal with an irritating heat rash” said Keith Edwards, pharmacist at Real Canadian Superstore in Vernon. “We’re always happy to help and to point people to treatment options.” A pharmacist with 37 years’ experience, Edwards offers the following tips for

The pair exchanged units earlier this year so Hilton could return to an accessible apartment following an operation. certainly good of you,” said Hilton, who got all her family involved in the move. “This is a good place to live and everyone is friendly so I wanted to stay here. This apartment lets me retain my independence and I’ve always been very independent. Here I can do my own housework, change the sheets and do the laundry. I had been waiting and hoping to
come back and now I’m back.” Both women are pleased with the exchange. Hilton got the apartment she needed which includes a patio and access to her small garden. Tizya likes the new floors in her apartment and the view. “I had never had this situation before but I’m glad it was able to work out so well for both of them,” said Adams.
some common summer ailments: n The best treatment for sunburn is prevention; use at least SPF 30 sunscreen before spending time outside. A pharmacist can help you choose the most appropriate sunscreen for you and your family. n If you get a sunburn, stay hydrated, use an aloe vera gel and take over-thecounter anti-inflammatories if needed. Seek medical attention if your sunburn causes nausea, fever, severe chills, swelling, dizziness or infection. n If you’re in the sun and see a rash developing, it may be heat rash. Get out of the sun, remove any close-fitting clothing, and let skin air-dry; topical treatments used for bug bites and poison ivy can also be used to treat heat rash.
n To stay free of bees and other stinging insects, including mosquitoes, avoid heavy perfumes and scents, especially florals, and wear light-coloured clothing with no floral patterns; ask your pharmacist for an age-appropriate DEET-containing insect repellent. n If you get an insect bite, use a topical treatment such as calamine lotion to reduce itchiness and take an antihistamine to decrease allergy symptoms. n If you end up one of the unfortunate ones who didn’t spot the poison ivy or poison oak plant in time and your rash is not too serious, calamine lotion will help to reduce itching; an antihistamine or oatmeal bath can also ease the symptoms. For more serious reactions, seek medical treatment.

meal from appies to dessert can be successfully cooked on a barbecue, keeping the heat from the kitchen and adding different great tastes to summer fun. Our first recipe today is a delicious grilled brie with roasted tomatoes; it’s perfect for an appetizer. The second recipe is for a grilled vegetable dish. Feel free to substitute or add other vegetables to this dish. Happy summer, everybody. Grilled Brie and CiaBatta topped with Slow-roaSted SunBluShed tomatoeS 1/4 cup olive oil 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon minced fresh chilies 6 mini wheels or three 4.5 oz wheels of brie cheese, at room temperature (I use
double cream brie from Poplar Grove in Naramata) Cedar plank 1 baguette (French bread), pita or ciabatta loaf 2 large cloves garlic, peeled Sunblushed Tomatoes 250g (1/2 lb) fresh cherry tomatoes 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1/4 tsp. dried thyme 1/4 tsp. dried oregano 1/8 teaspoon sugar 1/4 cup olive oil For Grilled Brie: Soak an untreated cedar plank (available at grocery, cookware and hardware stores) in water overnight.
Whisk the olive oil in a large bowl with the lemon zest, garlic and chilies. Add cheeses to the bowl and coat with the mixture. Let stand for 15 minutes. Preheat the grill to high and place the wet plank on the grate. Heat the plank until smoking and burning on the bottom at the edges, about 10 minutes. Slice the baguette, pita or ciabatta and toast pieces. Brush lightly with olive oil. Place over a barbecue grill rack. As they are done rub them, one at a time, with a whole, peeled garlic clove. Season with a little sea salt, then stack them one on top of the other and set aside on the warming rack of the barbecue. Arrange the cheeses on top of the plank. Drizzle with any remaining marinade. Cover the grill and
cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until the cheeses are swollen and ready to burst. Remove the plank from the grill using tongs and let stand for 5 minutes. Serve the cheeses on the plank with grilled bread. To eat, make a shallow cut on top of cheese and partially peel back skin. Dunk bread in melted cheese and go for it! Serve with Sunblushed Tomatoes. For Sunblushed Tomatoes: Toss all ingredients together in a bowl Grilled BalSamiC VeGetaBleS 1 medium zucchini, cut thick, diagonally 1 summer squash, cut thick, diagonally 1 piece radicchio, cut into fourths, core left intact 1/2 pint cherry tomatoes or 1/2 pint grape tomatoes 2 tbsp. olive oil
1 -2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 1 tsp. kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper 1 pinch red pepper flakes 1 -2 tablespoon freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional) Place zucchini and squash in a mixing bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper and red pepper flakes. Toss squash like salad until it is evenly coated. Place radicchio on top of squash and drizzle cut sides lightly with olive oil and balsamic, then toss vegetables again, adding a little more balsamic if needed. Skewer vegetables and grill for 8 minutes, turning frequently, or until vegetables are tender. Sprinkle lightly with Parmesan cheese before serving if desired.

Adrenaline Rush
Vernon’s ANAF Unit #5 is trying to spread the word to veterans and their families about available programs to promote independence and self-sufficiency in their home and community. “Are you getting the military pension services you deserve?” asks Alan McMahon, a veteran of the Korean War, who recently volunteered his services as ANAF pension advisor. “Do you need help with your meals, housekeeping, or yard work?” McMahon is anxious to spread the word to veterans and their families about available programs, including the Veterans Independence Program (VIP). VIP helps veterans remain independent and self-sufficient in their home and community. It complements existing programs and does not replace other federal, provincial or municipal
programs. Depending upon circumstances and health needs, veterans may qualify for financial assistance to obtain services such as grounds maintenance; housekeeping; personal care; access to nutrition; health and support services provided by a health professional. “ANAF Unit # 5 is one of only two meal providers in Vernon licensed under the Access to Nutrition program,” said ANAF president Alan Pothecary. “We offer prepared meals to qualified veterans, for eat-in or take-out.” Interested individuals or families are invited to join the informal Veterans’ Lunch group on the second Wednesday of each month in the Spitfire Lounge. For further information, contact McMahon through ANAF at 250-542-3277. Army, Navy & Air Force Veterans in Canada is Canada’s
oldest ex-service organization, receiving their charter in 1840 from Queen Victoria. Membership includes current or former military, police, and emergency services; affiliated members and any interested person from the community. Vernon’s ANAF Spitfire Unit#5 continues to thrive as community-minded adults enjoy the friendly atmosphere and entertainment in the licensed facility at 2500–46th Ave. The licensed lounge provides inexpensive beverages and generous meals, weekday pub sports, Friday live bands, and a popular meat draw on Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. and at 2:30 p.m. on Saturdays. “Anyone over 19 years young is welcome to join us ‘Under the Spitfire,’” said Pothecary. “Come in, sign the book, and have fun. After a visit or two, you may want to become a voting member of Canada’s oldest veteran club.”

Completion rate targeted Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff
From aircraft maintenance engineer to residential house construction, the Vernon School District continues to offer a wide variety of both academic and career preparation programs. Superintendent Bev Rundell says while enrolment continues to decline, the board is addressing the decline at the secondary school level. “It’s through a process that will consider how we maximize achievement, choice and equity for secondary students,” she said as part of the district’s achievement contract for 2011 - 2014. “In spite of declining enrolment, we will continue to enhance student educational experiences through personalized learning.” She said the district is particularly proud of its career preparation programs as well as the many other choices including: early and late French immersion, Grade 1 to 6 Montessori program, forestry, the RCMP Youth Academy and the Okanagan language. “This current school year, we offered the First People’s Academy, a cross-discipline approach to Grade 10, 11 and 12 curriculum,” said Rundell. The new Achievement Contract will have one district goal, she said, “to achieve a 100 per cent completion rate for both aboriginal and non-aboriginal students (Dogwood diploma or Meaningful school completion). “This will include those students on IEPs who receive School Leaving Certificates. It is our intent that every student will cross the stage with dignity, purpose and a plan for their future. “All this work is towards our 100 per cent graduation rate. We believe that this is a stretch goal and encompasses all the work we do in our district to improve learning.” There are a number of objectives to support this goal, including early learning so that by the end of Grade 3 all students who can read will read at grade level; increasing the number of students who meet or exceed expectations in reading and writing; increasing the number of students who meet or exceed expectations in numeracy; increas-
“We will continue to enhance experiences.” — Bev Rundell
ing the number of aboriginal students successfully transitioning from grade to grade, especially from Grades 9 to 10 and to increase aboriginal completion rates; increasing the number of Grade 10 students successfully transitioning to Grade 11. To put together the contract, data is gathered from student report card marks, Foundation Skills Assessment results, Grade 10, 11 and 12 provincial exam results, PM benchmarks, whole class reading assessments and aboriginal student success. “While this statistical information is important to provide some indicators of general accountability for the district, it falls short of describing the complete offerings and accomplishments of the public school system,” said Rundell. “Daily activities, fine arts, personal interactions and the process of learning are not always statistically measurable. “This includes learning democratic values, socialization skills, problem solving, sharing, and respecting diversity. These areas are also vital to the educational development of our youth as we help prepare them for the future.” The district’s goal is to have 100 per cent completion rate for all students. It has been holding at around the 79 to 80 per cent rate. In 2011, the graduation rate for all students was 79.3 per cent; by the following year it was 82 per cent. For aboriginal students, it was 61 per cent in 2012, down slightly from the previous year. “We are still concerned about aboriginal students but the good news is that our completion rates are improving, and we should be very proud as a district.”

Q: A:
I am considering purchasing a home; the home in question has a wood foundation. What are your feelings on wood foundations?
Pressure treated wood foundations have been around since the early to mid-1970s. They were initially thought to last about 30 years. Many of the homes that I have seen are at or past that 30 year mark. Depending on what part of the country the home is built in, the foundations are surviving quite well as far as structural stability goes. The biggest problem that I have encountered is that the water membrane on the exterior of the foundation walls is failing & allowing water into the foundation wall cavity and into the basement or crawlspace. What then needs to be done is to excavate the home on the exterior right down to the footings. The foundation wall then needs to be re-sealed with a new & improved waterproof membrane. There are a number of good membranes available through your local building supply stores. Once the wall is re-sealed & backfilled again, the interior insulation & drywall may need to be replaced if it has been water damaged. When all repairs are done your home should be good for many more years to come. You will find that homes with wood foundations are quite a bit warmer than conventional concrete foundations. Though there are better foundation systems available, pressure treated wood foundations need not be a scary thing. Phone: 250-542-4351 • Cell: 250-309-0185 Email: homeinsp@shaw.ca • License #47679
I am looking for a New Home and my neighbour recommended that I contact a Mortgage Broker to arrange preapproved financing. What are the costs involved with dealing with a Mortgage Broker?
A:
As a Mortgage Broker, we work on behalf of our clients in finding a mortgage that suits your needs. The Lender receiving the mortgage will pay the Broker for providing quality clients to their institution, so our services are free to our clients in most cases. In very rare cases Mortgage Brokers would charge a fee if you are not able to meet normal guidelines and require more creative financing such as a private lender, commercial purchase or interim financing etc. Mortgage Brokers will discuss any fees in detail with you, similar to any large Bank Lender in levying an application fee for their services. Just as an Insurance Broker finds you the best offer for Insurance, a Mortgage Broker finds you the best Mortgage available to meet your needs without cost to you, saving you time and effort in finding a great mortgage solution!

Q: A:
Hypnosis is a natural state that you experience on your own every day. If you’ve ever driven from point A to point B and forgotten part of the drive, you were in hypnosis. It happens when you become engrossed in a movie, daydream, or ‘enter the zone’ in athletic activities. During hypnosis, you are aware of everything happening around you. You are neither unconscious nor asleep. You are in a deeply relaxed state where your mind is highly focused and able to help you achieve your goals. You are always in control. The power of hypnosis is within you, not the hypnotherapist.

Q: A:
Isn’t there a risk of getting big muscles? I’m a woman and don’t want to build bulk!
Both men and women enjoy strength training for its many benefits. Even just two times per week has been shown to be essential to fitness. First, as you gain more muscle, your metabolism increases so, burning more calories throughout the day. This helps to prevent obesity and lose more fat. Because women have lower levels of testosterone, they don’t usually bulk up or gain size from strength training. And remember that muscle weighs more than fat, so the numbers on the scale may not decrease as quickly, though your body will be changing. Many times the weight doesn’t seem to budge too much at first, and yet inches are dramatically dropping!!! Lastly, focus on your real purpose...becoming healthier!
Q: A:
How loud does a sound have to be before it can damage your hearing?
Noise levels above 85 decibels can cause hearing loss over time. Everyday noises like fire sirens, road construction and even movie theatres can lead to permanent hearing loss in less than ten minutes. To give you some guidelines: A whisper is general 20 to 30 decibels, a lawn mower or truck noise registers at 90 decibels, a rock concert or baby crying can register at 100 to 130 decibels continuously. Gunshots are usually about 120 to 150 decibels.

Q: A:
Get back into the swing with golfer’s elbow Golfer’s elbow is pain and inflammation on the inner side of your elbow. It’s caused by damage to the muscles and tendons that control your wrist and fingers. Since it’s related to excess or repetitive stress, it’s not just limited to golfers. Playing tennis, working out at the gym or being at a computer for prolonged periods can also cause it. Treatment tips: • Rest. Wait until the pain is gone before returning to the links, or you may make it worse. • Apply ice packs to your elbow for 15 to 20 minutes, four times a day for several days. • Stretch and strengthen the affected area. • Wrap your elbow with an elastic bandage or use a forearm strap. • Take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen or aspirin. • Your doctor may recommend a cortisone injection to reduce pain and swelling. • Gradually return to your usual activities. To find out more about golfer’s elbow, speak to your Remedy’sRx pharmacist. Sterling Centre

Q: A:
What are electrolytes and why are they important?
Electrolytes are minerals in your blood that carry an electric charge, and have an effect on the amount of water in your body, your blood pH, and muscle function. Electrolytes in the blood include sodium, calcium, potassium, chlorine, and magnesium. Electrolytes are lost when you sweat excessively, and must be replenished by drinking plenty of fluids. Now that the weather is warmer and many of us have increased activity levels, it is important to stay adequately hydrated and replenish our electrolytes. There are many sports drinks available in stores, but unfortunately these can contain high levels of sucrose, artificial flavours and colours. Following is a recipe for a healthier electrolyte drink: Natural Electrolyte Recipe (makes 1 litre of electrolyte solution) • 1 tsp salt • 1 tsp baking soda • 4 tsp honey or maple syrup • 4 tsp lemon juice • 1 litre water

Clearwing moth a threat judie steeves Black Press
photo submitted
The apple clearwing moth is a new threat for Okanagan orchardists. Ideally, prevention would be as simple as not bringing material in from an infested area, and it’s suspected that’s how the clearwing moth arrived in North America. The B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association has appealed to the SIR board for help in conducting area-wide
monitoring and control. However, the board says it’s too late this year, but that if growers want assistance next year, they must let the SIR board know by the end of this year. BCFGA general manager Glen Lucas said the industry is preparing a funding request to implement
a three-year, area-wide pilot project, in cooperation with the SIR program to evaluate the effectiveness of mating disruption for control, so extra staff can be hired. He said growers are encouraged to examine area maps to see if it’s in their area, and to use mating disruption dispensers to control it. Judd said backyard apple trees are just as susceptible, but he didn’t think they would become a source of reinfection of commercial orchards as is the danger with codling moth. In fact, he said backyard trees are generally not dwarf trees, and the big ones aren’t affected as much, so homeowners likely won’t notice damage from clearwing moth.

There’s another a new insect pest of apple trees that’s moved into the Okanagan. The first apple clearwing moth appeared in orchards in the Similkameen in 2005 and today that area is generally infested with the borer that damages trees by feeding under the bark during the larvae stage. Entomologist Gary Judd, a research scientist at the Pacific Agrifood Research Centre in Summerland says he conducted a comprehensive study in orchards from the border to Salmon Arm last summer, trapping in every block of orchard. From those results, he created maps showing the pest’s presence and in what numbers. It shows that areas like Rutland and Ellison are pretty well infested with the new pest, while there are few in West Kelowna and Mission. The maps are available on the website of the Sterile Insect Release program at: www.oksir.org The extent of its spread was a surprise, he admits. He speculates they must move on vehicles or in trees that are being moved. “Soon it will be everywhere,” he says. In orchards where it hasn’t yet been identified, growers should monitor for it by hanging traps, and if there are 1 to 50 moths in a trap, mating disruption is available to control it. However, it’s better done by groups than by individual orchardists, he said, since it can easily fly to nearby orchards. When levels get too high, mating disruption is not very effective and growers should plan on spraying the trunk of each tree with an approved pesticide to keep them under control. He says it’s difficult to assess the economic impact of the new pest. Some growers are very alarmed and they’re seeing the damage on their trees, but he says others aren’t seeing much damage.

Senators lock up Lazar at No. 17 Former Viper Tambellini tops BCHL draft class Kevin Mitchell Sports Editor
Vernon’s Curtis Lazar is property of the Ottawa Senators. The 18-year-old centre/right winger with the Western Hockey League Edmonton Oil Kings was chosen in the first round Sunday, 17th overall, in the NHL Entry Draft in New Jersey. Lazar’s signature perma-smile widened when his name was called live on TSN. He was sitting with his parents, Dave and Karen Lazar, one row behind Max Domi of the London Knights, selected five picks earlier by the Phoenix Adam Tambellini Coyotes. “I am so proud to be a member of the Senators organization,” Lazar told The Morning Star. “You Jedd Soleway can’t beat the atmosphere that playing in Canada has. To share this moment with my friends and family is very special.” Vernon-based Ottawa scout George Fargher, who was very high on Lazar, helped present Lazar jersey No. 13 on the stage at the Prudential Centre. Lazar wore No. 13 with Team B.C. when they won gold in the 2011 Canada Winter Games. Lazar broke the tournament scoring record previ-
ously set by Steven Stamkos (12) and Sidney Crosby’s points mark (17) in six games. Lazar was ranked 12th by International Scouting Services and No. 20 by Central Scouting. He has racked up 58 goals in two seasons with the Oil Kings. “Curtis is a great character kid,” Fargher told The Morning Star, during a break after the first round. “He’s strong on the puck and competes hard. He’s a twoway player who can score and is a good skater. He compares to Ryan Callahan (Rangers) or Dustin Brown (Kings).” Said Ray Ferraro on the TSN draft web site, of Lazar: “A very versatile player, has great competitive spirit. One scout told me he brings a lot more elements to the table than just his ability to score.” Lazar was one of eight WHLers selected in the first round of the draft, marking the most WHL players chosen in the opening round of an NHL draft since 2009 when nine players were chosen. Lazar, whose siblings, Jenna, Ryan and Cory, were also in New Jersey supporting him, heads to Ottawa Tuesday for a prospect camp. He is among 35 players invited to Canada’s National Junior Team summer development camp, set for Aug. 4-10 in Brossard, Que., and Lake Placid, N.Y. A total of 13 of the players invited to attend the camp are from the WHL, including defencemen Morgan Rielly of the Moose Jaw Warriors and Griffin Reinhart of the Oil Kings, who were both members of Canada’s national team at the 2013 World Junior Championship. Lazar was the second overall choice in the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft. Meanwhile, former Vernon Viper centre Adam Tambellini of the BCHL champion Surrey

vernon’s curtis lazar, a forward with the edmonton Oil Kings, was selected 17th overall by the Ottawa Senators in Sunday’s nhl entry Draft at the Prudential center in new Jersey. Eagles was taken in the third round, 65th overall, by the New York Rangers. Tambellini, the son of former Edmonton Oilers GM Steve Tambellini, and younger brother of former NHLer Jeff Tambellini, heads a list of seven BCHL players plucked in the sweepstakes. He played a season-and-a-half with Vernon before being traded to Surrey at the Jan. 10 carding deadline. Tambellini was a point-a-game player during his BCHL tenure, recording 63 goals and 58 assists in 107 games. He added 18 points (10-8) in 17 post-season games in helping Surrey win the Fred Page Cup. At the RBC Cup in Summerside,
PEI, Tambellini was named Top Forward at the national Junior A tourney, where the Eagles were semifinalists. Tambellini is headed to the University of North Dakota this fall. Jedd Soleway, another former Viper who was traded to the Penticton Vees last season, was chosen by the Phoenix Coyotes in the seventh round, 193rd overall. Soleway, a Vernon product, was Penticton’s top-line centre, playing between Minnesota recruit Louie Nanne and North Dakota recruit Wade Murphy. He is committed to the NCAA Division 1 Wisconsin Badgers. The 6-foot-2, 208-pounder recorded 24 goals and 57 points
in 64 games. Murphy, meanwhile, was a seventh-round selection (eight positions ahead of Soleway) by the Nashville Predators. Other BCHLers hearing their names called on draft day include: David Pope (West Kelowna Warriors), fourth round, Detroit Red Wings; Evan Campbell (Langley Rivermen), fifth round, Edmonton Oilers; Dane Birks (Merritt Centennials) sixth round, Pittsburgh Penguins; and Nolan 2013 Civic DX De JongMODEL (Victoria Grizzlies), sevSHOWN: FB2E2DEX enth round, Minnesota Wild.

Vernon United complete tournament trifecta Morning Star Staff
The Vernon United U17 boys are golden again. United collected another gold medal by shutting down Edmonton Southwest Soccer Club 2-0 in Monday’s championship game of the Kelowna Canada Day Soccer Tournament. The first goal was scored by Matt Kreutz, who beat the lone defender and then the goaltender. The second goal was a beautiful chip shot over the goalie’s head by Mike Bennett. On Saturday, United opened the tourney by slipping past Edmonton 2-1 on goals by Victor Gouche and Nathan Gatenby. They lost their second match that day 2-0 to the Calgary United, but rebounded Sunday with a 2-1 win over the Edmonton Drillers in a shootout. Dylan Towns provided United’s regulation goal. Menno Burnet was named Vernon’s tournament MVP. This was United’s third tournament gold in as many attempts, which will provide them with confidence heading into provincials next weekend in Prince George. Meanwhile, Zach Smith scored with three minutes to play to give Vernon United a 1-0 win over Calgary’s Blizzard Azzuri in the U11 boys championship game at the Canada Day Tournament. Tournament MVP Liam Glennon started the play by volleying a ball into the box that Kobe Grant attacked and forced a sprawling save from the Calgary keeper. Smith, who had a disallowed goal earlier in the game, pounced on the rebound and was named Man of the Match. Keeper Kevin Morgan was rock-solid all weekend, surrendering just three goals in four games.
“The boys were outstanding this weekend,” said United the lead. head coach Paul Morgan. “This is a highly skilled group of Vernon completely controlled the second half, and the boys – they play hard for each other, they are very coach- pressure paid off when Man of the Match Reid cracked a able, and they never give up.

The Vernon Liquor Store Stars returned to winning ways by grounding the Rented Mules 3-1 at Marshall #4. The liquormen came out strong in the blistering heat, starting their tab on a beautiful through ball by midfielder Stephen Fitzpatrick that put John Matejka on a breakaway. Matejka coolly slotted it in the back of the net. The 2-8 Mules’ Fred Van Der Gaaq beat Stars’ keeper Ted Lurkins with a rocket just before half for the equalizer. In the second half, Andrew Whisken restored the 4-5-1 Stars lead by converting a penalty. Reservist Rob Bauml got the jump on the Mule defence and went in alone to complete the attack. North Country Appraisals Kickers continued their strong play with an 8-1 pounding of Pushor Mitchell at Parkinson Rec Fields. The game remained scoreless until about 15 minutes left in the first half when relentless pressure by North Country finally paid off with a goal by Wil Kruiper, his first of three. Sergio Sartori and Greg Bevandick each added a pair and Kent Molgat had a single. North Country, now 7-2-1, almost made it five shutouts in a row, but a late goal by a Pushor Mitchell player spoiled David Gadd’s clean sheet. Pushor Mitchell are 1-7-2.

Missing five key regulars and with just two subs, the Ogopogos wilted under the scorching sun, falling 7-0 to Brown Benefits in Capri Insurance Okanagan Men’s 45+ Soccer League play Monday night at Marshall Field #2. Big O players were begging to come off and drawing straws, while keeper Yogi Kongsdorf made numerous excellent saves to keep the Brown scoreline to single digits. After missing a penalty at the 15-minute mark, Brown’s Rich Woodhouse made amends five minutes later by converting a Lionel Hoffman feed for a tap in. Hoffman added two more alongside a Tony Gonzales single to make it 4-0 at the half. Fullback Colin Burton fired in a 25-yard screamer at the 50 minute mark, and Gonzales put the game away with a breakaway in the 85th minute.

Hankey hosts top doubles talent
Morning Star Staff
It started with a downpour, and ended in a heat wave last weekend at the Kalamalka Country Club. Through it all, spectators were treated to some stellar tennis at the 87th annual Hankey Cup Doubles Tennis Championships over the Canada Day long weekend. The event included men’s, women’s and mixed A and B doubles in a round-robin format, with teams guaranteed at least three matches. In the men’s A doubles final, Vernon’s Jeremy Bell and West Martin of Sicamous grounded brothers Jim and Kristian Kiland of Prince George, 6-4, 6-4. In the semifinals, Bell and Martin brushed back the Vernon pair of Ralph Stevens and Shane Valouch, 6-3, 7-5. In the men’s B doubles final, Vernon’s Joe McFadden and Alan Brunelle fell to Allen and Eric Knight of Calgary, 6-4, 6-3. In the semis, the Knights
stopped Vernon’s Mark Corbett and Pat Hughes, 6-4, 6-4, in one semi, while the father-son tandem of Murray and Ryan Bennetto bowed to McFadden and Brunelle, 6-0, 6-1, in the other. In the ladies A and B doubles, the results were determined by round-robin rankings, as there was only one pool each in the ladies doubles. In the ladies A doubles, first place went to Vernon’s Meryl Ogden and Rosie Schaich of Kelowna, as the pair did not lose a set in their round-robin, going 10-0. Second went to Eva Koksalove and Elena Audy of Kelowna, who went 8-2, and third place went to the Vernon pair of Lisa Sousa and Supha Phonchiangkwang, who went 5-5. In the ladies B doubles, first place went to Vernon’s Anne Ellis and Wendi Varley of Predator Ridge with a score of 9-1, while another Vernon team – Bonnie
Anderson and Barb Teichman – placed fourth. In the mixed A doubles final, the Kal’s Ogden and Derek Lord bowed to Rosie and Joe Schaich of Kelowna, 10-4, for the championship. In the semis, Ogden and Lord stopped Wendi and Jeremy Bell, 10-6, while the Schaichs turned back Koksalove and Craig Tilander of Vernon, 10-4. The mixed B doubles final was an all-Vernon affair, as the father-daughter team of Leena and Murray Bennetto captured the title by defeating Judi McIntosh and Gary Edwards, 10-2. Tournament director Ray Kimoto thanked the spectators who came out throughout the three days to watch some great tennis. “What can we say about the weather?” said Kimoto. “We were very fortunate to

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder THE MINIMUM COUNT FOR USING STAYMAN This week we are looking at various aspects of the Stayman convention. What is the fewest number of points you need to use Stayman? Normally, responder will have at least enough points to invite game. So, opposite a one-no-trump opening that shows 15-17 points, responder will have nine high-card points (or eight with a five-card suit in a minor). However, assuming that you employ transfers into the majors, it is possible to use Stayman with zero points -- what is called garbage Stayman. You may have 4-4-5-0 distribution, when you plan to pass whatever
opener rebids. Or you have (in principle) at least 5-5 in the majors. If opener rebids two of a major, you pass, knowing it is a nine-card fit. Or, if opener rebids two diamonds, you continue with two hearts. Then, opener passes with three hearts (as in this deal), or corrects to two spades with three spades and two hearts. Against two hearts, West leads the trump queen. How should South continue? Note that one no-trump should be defeated. South should plan to ruff a spade on the board. He should win the first trick and call for the spade king. East should win with the ace and return his second heart. But South wins on the board, plays a spade to
his queen, and leads a third spade. If West ruffs, it is with his trump trick, and South can ruff the fourth round of spades in the dummy to make an overtrick. If West discards, South ruffs on the board and finishes with eight tricks: two spades, one spade ruff, four hearts and one club.
