Armstrong welcomes back former residents ROGER KNOX
Morning Star Staff
Stories, memories and smiles will abound in Armstrong this weekend. More than 470 people have registered for Homecoming 100, part of the city’s 100th birthday celebrations. “People are very excited,” said Shirley Fowler, an Armstrong councillor and one of the main organizers of Homecoming. “People that are coming home are anxious to get here, and we hope a lot of the locals will get involved.” Homecoming kicked off Thursday with a meet and greet at the Hassen Hall. The registration desk is open today from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. and coincides with

a meet and greet at Hassen Arena. On Saturday, registration runs from 9 a.m. to noon. A catered homecoming dinner Saturday at the Hassen Arena is full. Organizers have arranged things this weekend so there’s a balance between structured events and free time. “Friday is the day that everybody will get together for the first time and there will be lots of chit-chat at the Hassen Arena,” said Fowler. “Saturday is the day we encourage people to get out and explore, support the local businesses, see what Armstrong has to offer, walk past their old homes.” There will be tours of the “Brick School,” aka Armstrong Elementary, as well as the
Armstrong (Blue) Hotel with a tea being held there. There’s activities at the Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum and Art Gallery, a no-host family picnic in Memorial Park which includes a concession operated by the Hokkaida Salmon Exchange group as a fundraiser for the 2014 trip. VantageOne Credit Union has come aboard Homecoming to sponsor countryside bus tours today. Armstrong Shamrocks lacrosse alumni will be honoured in between periods of tonight’s junior lacrosse playoff game between the Shamrocks and Vernon Tigers at the Nor-Val Sports Centre.

is the number of school reunions being held. “Under the umbrella of Homecoming, people who wanted to get together just for a little while with their grad class can go for lunch or supper today,” said Fowler. That includes the Class of 1948, organized by Duff Phillips whose twin sister is flying home from Florida to be part of the weekend’s festivities. There are also 30-, 50- and 60-year reunions on tap this weekend as well as other years in between. Anybody who would like more information on Homecoming, or who hasn’t registered yet, can call Fowler at 250-5463732 or you can e-mail her at flowerpot@ telus.net.

Youth facing charges

The upstairs resident of a home in the 9000 block of Coldstream’s Varsity Drive thought it strange Thursday that there was a lot of noise coming from the suite downstairs at 2 a.m. So the resident called police. “The resident heard a door bell and lots of banging,” said VernonNorth Okanagan RCMP Cpl. Gerry Kovacs. Upon arrival, police arrested two male youth in the suite. One of the boys decided to bolt. “He ran away,” said Kovacs. “So a police service dog unit was called out.” The youth was found by the dog a short time later. The two boys, both 15 and from Vernon, are now facing break-andenter charges while one also faces a charge of escaping lawful custody. Both boys were found with knives. Police are continuing to investigate.

GVAC directors agree to RBC request richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Greater Vernon taxpayers are hitting the ice to support a national sports event. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee agreed Thursday to waive its cut of merchandize sales for the 2014 Royal Bank Cup and absorb the cost of providing clean ice at Kal Tire Place. “The ask was reasonable and fairly small,” said Mike Macnabb, GVAC chairperson, of the request from the RBC host committee.

said director Bob Fleming. Beyond these recent decisions, GVAC has already committed free use of Kal Tire Place for the RBC Cup. That amounts to $22,200 in lost rental fees. The City of Vernon has provided $14,450 in hotel room tax revenue for marketing. In return for assistance, GVAC is asking the host committee to pay back the cost of the ice resurfacing and the additional zamboni if the event generates a profit.

2014 FORESTER EARNS THE HIGHEST SAFETY ACCOLADE
Wayne emde Special to The Morning Star
With only a few days before 722 army cadets arrive, Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre staff are busy preparing for the 65th summer of training in leadership, citizenship and physical fitness. There are 99 officers and instructors, 34 regular and reserve non-commissioned officers, 121 staff cadets and more than 80 civilian staff such as firefighters, office staff, gardeners, cleaners, laundry staff, warehouse staff and transport drivers at the facility. More than 50 people will feed the cadets and staff three meals a day for the next seven weeks. “The focus at VACSTC is to be a centre of excellence for cadet training,” said Lt-Col Lyle Johnson, commanding officer. “The aim of training is to provide the cadets with a positive life experience that builds skills and abilities which are transferable to all aspects of their lives. Every cadet should be challenged by aspects of their experience, making their experience positive, effective and worthwhile.” While those cadets enrolled in the general training course will only stay for two weeks and others enrolled in basic courses will be in Vernon for three weeks, most of the cadets will spend six weeks at the centre. Although they all wear the same summer uniform, they will receive instruction in a wide variety of skills, techniques and procedures depending on their age and previous cadet experience. Although VACSTC is organized as an army battalion in respect to command and control, its mandate is similar to that of a school, with cadets assigned to one of eleven specific courses based on their age and previous army cadet training. The final parade and sunset ceremony will take place Aug. 15.

Water meter costs climbing in Armstrong roger knox Morning Star Staff
Armstrong’s water meter installation will cost more than originally planned. Helping to increase the price tag are townhouse complexes and crawlspaces. “Like any large project, there have been some anomalies and a

to a building, such as an apartment or condo-style building, an indoor heated utility room exists where a large meter can be installed with little difficulty. The problem is at townhouse complexes where there are no heated utility rooms. As a result, the large master
meters would have to be installed underground at a cost of somewhere between $30,000 and $50,000 per installation. “Corix is recommending individual meters in these complexes as this alternative would be considerably more economical,” wrote Martens. That would mean

200 additional meters would be added, with a net financial impact to the city of $66,500. Council voted unanimously to add the 200 new additional meters with funding coming from the city’s water reserve. They also voted to extend Corix’s contract two months to November 30, 2013 to help complete the installations. As for crawlspaces, the contract with Corix has a provision for 150 installations in crawlspaces at $35 per installation. To date, a total of 461 crawlspaces have been recorded. “At this rate, the crawlspace component of the contract will be around $15,000 over contract by the end of the project,” wrote Martens. “The total amount of the Corix contract is $604,553 which includes $48,670 for the extra items over and above the actual meters and simple installations.” Martens estimated that an additional $40,000 will be spent by the end of the project and it will be absorbed by the contingency. Corix began installing meters last August. As of May 15, the project is about 78.3 per cent complete with about 350 meters left to install.

Morning Star Staff
Efforts are underway to put more people on the bus in Lake Country. Council has approved a request from the City of Kelowna that Route #23 be amended to include the airport area. “The diversion takes it off the highway and into a new industrial park and the University of B.C.,” said James Baker, Lake Country mayor. “A lot more people will use the service.” The change has the support of B.C. Transit. “This request will see the route between the airport and UBCO serve an area of increasing density in addition to the new hotel as opposed to the current routing which is directly along the highway with no ability to increase the number of riders served,” said Steve Harvard, senior regional transit manager. Baker believes the new route will benefit Lake Country residents who are on shift work. “There are a lot of workers at the airport and Flightcraft,” he said.
“A lot more people will use the service.” — James Baker
It’s anticipated there will only be a minor impact on schedules. Council has also received information on expansion of Route #23 in September 2012. That process included increasing the weekday frequency during the afternoon peak and mid-day. “During the period of January to March, weekday ridership increased by 50 per cent, Saturday by 29 per cent and Sunday relatively unchanged,” said Harvard. “Overall ridership during this period has increased by more than 18 per cent compared to the same period in the previous year.”
Agriculture budget defended judie steeves Black Press
Despite the austerity talk in Victoria, new agriculture minister Pat Pimm says there wasn’t a reduction in the budget for his new ministry from that presented in February, when the new budget came down last week. That means both the Buy Local program and the school fruit and vegetable program are still there, but that there’s no new money for an orchard replant program. However, he maintains that the orchard industry is important and he intends to pursue items the former minister was working on. The last minister, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick, had committed to do what he could to come up with a longer-term replant program. “We will do our best to work some certainty into it. A long-term strategy is needed,” Pimm said. He admits it’s a very diverse ministry and says he’s spent the first couple of weeks getting up to speed on some of the issues. There are 200 commodities in the agriculture side of his portfolio and 100 on the aquaculture side of it, he noted. “I’ve grown up in the Peace region and been

around grain and cattle most of my life, and it’s a key interest in our community. I’m very excited to have the agriculture portfolio,” he said. Following a one-month session of the Legislature this summer, he said he plans to tour the province and visit the various agricultural areas, including the Okanagan. He has a small-business background and says he’s already started good relationships with some of the commodity groups his ministry works with, and he intends to continue. He’s enthusiastic about the new agri-foods program and the federal-provincial Growing Forward program. Pimm’s appointment makes eight agriculture ministers in just five years in B.C.; 12 in 20 years, but his outlook on that is positive: “It’s good to see some former (agriculture) ministers in cabinet.”

Songs of summer
n the summertime, when the weather is high... You can stretch right up, and touch the sky... –––Mungo Jerry In The Summertime was the biggest hit for British rock group Mungo Jerry (lead singer Ray Dorset, not anybody named Jerry), and for most music fans, it’s instantly recognizable. For a number of people, I discovered, it’s also their quintessential summer song. Isn’t that a common denominator we all share about summer? It’s our season of play, our season of being hot and staying cool. Our season of hangRoger Knox ing with our buddies at the beach or cabin. And don’t we all have that one song that reminds us of so many good times with friends, family, summer romances, summer barbecues, summer fun? I posed the question to my friends on Facebook, asking them what’s their quintessential summertime song and why. The responses were tremendous and varied. Five people chose Mungo Jerry’s 1970 hit In the Summertime. Sandy in Salmon Arm calls it “the best summertime song ever. Minus the ‘have a drink, have a drive’ lyric of course. Love the mutton-chops (on singer Ray Dorset).” Four friends selected Don Henley’s Boys of Summer, including Kim on Middleton Mountain, who replied: “I had Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses (still have ‘em) - ‘ I can see you... your brown skin shinin’ in the sun...’ He was singing to me then and he’s been singing it to me ever since.” Four people also picked Summer in the City by The Lovin’ Spoonful, including Lisa from Kelowna who wrote, “Because they don’t make songs like that anymore.” Four chose Bryan Adams’ Canadian classic Summer of ‘69, including Collin from Invermere:
At rAndoM
“Summer of 69, the year I was born. Reminds me of family reunions in Armstrong and camping at Mabel Lake and at Granny’s cabin by the rock jetty on the Shuswap River.” Karla from Coldstream’s favourite comes from Tears For Fears: “Everybody Wants to Rule the World. Takes me back to high school, new driver’s licence, cruising by Kal beach with it blaring in Mom’s Toyota, windows down. And it sounds great, loud!” Tracy from Armstrong is taken back to the Prairies by The Stampeders: “Sweet City Woman reminds me of my youth in Winnipeg and warm summer rain showers when you stayed outside and danced barefoot in the puddles.” My 13-year-old son said he doesn’t really have a summertime favourite song, “But my friends listen to Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ Can’t Hold Us.” For me, the quintessential summer song does, in fact, come from a singer named Gerry: Baker Street, by the late Gerry Rafferty. Every time I hear the opening to the song, and by the time the great saxophone solo hits before Rafferty sings the opening lines “Winding your way down on Baker Street…Light in your head and dead on your feet,” the volume in my car or my phone gets cranked, and I am immediately transported back to the summer of 1978. That was a summer where I spent nearly every day riding my bike along Okanagan and 25th Avenues to my aunt and uncle’s house on Okanagan Lake, hanging out with my cousin Geoff, Jackie and Jayne, the neighbour sisters, and Maureen from down the road, waterskiing, snorkeling, cannonballs off the pier, drinking Pop Shoppe pop (24 different flavours), roasting marshmallows, listening to the hits like Baker Street on CJIB. It was summer in the Okanagan. It was how summer in the Okanagan is meant to be enjoyed. With friends, family, loving the hot weather and cooling off in the lake. And the opening bars from one great tune take me there every single time.
Often we hear people complaining about the justice system, how our laws are ineffective, lax or cumbersome. Often they are right. But sometimes a law comes along that really creates substantial change in society, and rightfully deserves recognition for helping to protect citizens of all stripes. Such is the case with B.C.’s drinking and driving legislation, which is among the toughest in the country. Statistics on the first 30 months of the province’s immediate roadside prohibition program indicate the drinking and driving death toll has been cut in half. That equates to 143 lives saved. Think of the ripple effects — that’s 143 families that have not been ripped apart by tragedy. That’s 286 parents who have not lost their son or daughter. That’s countless family and friends who are not in mourning. That’s 143 fewer impaired drivers that must wind their way, at taxpayers’ expense, through the justice system. Not only has the B.C. program proven successful in their province, results like these are making it harder for other jurisdictions to ignore. It’s pretty hard to reject a policy that has kept 143 additional people alive. Other Canadian provinces are now looking at similar laws, and would, hopefully, also see their impaired driving fatality rates cut in half. This confirms that more British Columbians are taking the law seriously and ensuring they are sober when behind the wheel. That’s real justice. — Salmon Arm Observer

t has never been more obvious that what people voted for in the last federal election, accountability and transparency, is the farthest from the truth that one can go for what we got. Elizabeth May said it best in the House of Commons recently, “the prime minister's office in this country has way more power than the White House does in the U.S. The White House is part of the U.S. Constitution. The PMO is an invention. It is a partisan fortress. It is the least accountable place where taxpayer dollars go. About $10 million a year disappears into the PMO with zero accountability. "Stephen Harper promised accountability. He has delivered the least accountable, most secretive and draconian government in Canadian history. " While we stress over where to put a running track, which road to widen, which intersection to build a round-about at or how much people at city hall are being paid, our country is being pulled out from under our feet. We are sweating the small stuff while the big stuff is happening all around us.

But now owners Darlene Homenchuk and Jim Covington — both in their 60s — are ready for the next stage of their life and are looking to retire from raising alpacas at their farm.

We’d love to have them placed locally so we could visit them.” The couple were living in the Lower Mainland when they started doing research on raising alpacas. The animals are native to South America and when Homenchuk and Covington opened their farm, they started with
six females and six males. Over the years, they had as many as 35 animals at their farm, working to turn the alpaca fibre into products and also offering tours of their farm to families. They were early to the agri-tourism industry and are members of the B.C. Agiculture Tourism Alliance as well as the Lake Country Chamber of Commerce. “It’s been a wonderful experience and we would do it again in a heart-beat but it’s the safety factor,” said Homenchuk. “As we age into our senior years, we don’t
want to be getting seriously hurt.” Homenchuk plans to continue working with the alpaca fibre and offering products for sale as the pair look to remain in the area if their farm sells. “It’s a real passion for me,” she said. “It feeds my soul and I really enjoy the creativity.” If you are interested in learning more or adopting any of the alpacas from the Oyama Lake Alpaca Farm, you can call Darlene Homenchuk at 250-548-4004, e-mail info@alpacadelights.com or check out the web site at www.alpacadelights. com.

The Landing’s Very Own...
Pro-D days prove beneficial Katherine MortiMer
“We hope the board will continue to support teacher inquiry...” — Robyn Ladner
and activities to pursue their projects. “Teacher inquiry is a method that involves the systematic, intentional study of a teacher’s own classroom practice,” said Ladner. “The inquiry process has grown and is being used by many teachers as a framework for professional development.” At the urging of the VTA, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation began a pilot project for the Okanagan to investigate a sustainable model of inquiry. They committed funds to train Inquiry facilitators to support the project groups. Four teachers from Vernon attended the two-day training session. As a Grade 5/6 sci-
ence teacher at Silver Star Elementary School, Ladner applied the process of inquiry to her own classroom with a project in the community garden “We did our work there, twice a week during science class. This came from a question I had: ‘how can I get my kids out of the classroom, how can I take the classroom out of the classroom?’ And it’s turned out to be so much more than science.” Ladner said the ProD Committee has a number of recommendations to the board, including encouraging the district to continue determining collaboration time that is timely and effective.

While students appreciate an extra day off throughout the year, teachers value professional development days for the chance to learn and grow in order to enhance both teaching and learning. As professional development chairperson for the Vernon Teachers’ Association, teacher Robyn Ladner recently presented the PD annual report for the 2012/13 school year to Vernon School District trustees. She said throughout the year, teachers have the opportunity to attend a variety of events, but it’s the “unconference” held April 22 that stands out. “There is no way a conference can reach every teacher in Vernon,” said Ladner. “But this ‘edcamp’ style of conference is participant-led and focuses on conversations and connections over topics of common interest. “Teachers pose questions or topics, create the agenda, and select sessions.” Attended by more than 250 teachers, the event at Vernon secondary school received overwhelmingly positive feedback. “We had no agenda, no workshops, just questions that went up on posters. I took them all and made a schedule; all the questions were dealt with.” The VTA and school district matched funds this year for an $8,000 grant to support teacher inquiry in the district. Nine groups of teachers received a grant for release time, resources
“We hope that the board will continue to support teacher inquiry both financially and philosophically.” Ladner said the changes unfolding in curriculum and programs will require a high degree of autonomy by teachers. “A teacher must have control over methods of instruction, evaluation, interpretation of evaluation, and curriculum. Supporting teachers in their pursuit of learning as autonomous professionals results in deep and committed learning that can only benefit students.” Ladner added that teachers only receive about $165 each year for their professional development. “Advocating for increased PD funds for Vernon teachers to reflect the rising cost of PD opportunities is something both the employer and the association should be doing.”

Theatre receives grant Morning Star Staff
A local arts group with a long history of offering great community theatre will benefit from a provincial gaming grant. Powerhouse Theatre has been given a $25,000 grant towards its 50th season of theatre production. “For five decades this talented group of performers, staff and volunteers has kept us entertained and inspired,” said Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster. “This grant will help the society continue to offer up exciting productions, as well as training and educational opportunities for the community.”

nominate someone they know (or have known of) for consideration. Posthumous nominations are accepted. For additional details, criteria and to access an online nomination form, go online www.okanagan.bc.ca/50people. There is also a link to a list of people who have already been honoured. The deadline for entries is Aug. 9. The list of nominees will be reviewed, and the additional 50 people for acknowledgement will be chosen by an ad hoc committee of current and former employees of Okanagan College. The names of those who will be acknowledged will be revealed Sept. 27.

Tigers tangle with Rocks tonight Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Source For Sports Tigers owned the Armstrong Shamrocks in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League regular season. That trend has continued so far in the post-season. The Tigers, who won the regular-season series 4-0, built an 8-0 lead early in the second period and hung on for a 13-6 win in Game 1 of their best-of-five semifinal set Tuesday night. Armstrong replied with four straight goals in the second period to close the gap, but some chippy play in the final frame stifled the offensive flow of both clubs. The teams meet again tonight for Game 2 at Nor-Val Sports Centre. The third tilt is slated for Saturday in Vernon. If necessary, Game 4 would be Monday in Armstrong, followed by Game 5 Thursday at Kal Tire Place. All games are 7:30 p.m. starts. “Other than some untimely penalties in the second period, the boys played a disciplined and determined game and the outcome was indicative of that,” said Tigers’ head coach Myles Brumpton. “We know Armstrong is a very determined team and are not going to lay down for us, so our goal is to stay focused and execute the game-plan that is in place.” Ryan Sarazin led Vernon’s attack with five goals and an assist. He left the game after being checked into the boards by Armstrong captain Nathan Marcetta in the third period. He is questionable to play tonight. Adding to Vernon’s offence were Nolan Frame (3+1), Jordan Orr (2+3), Liam Drabiuk (1+4), Brett Hanna (1+2) and Mason Limb, who scored on a rarely awarded penalty shot. Craig Bigsby and Jay Seaton each contributed three assists, while Sean Conors had two. Joel Fruncillo recorded 40 saves for the win. Stephen Ringdal, with two goals and two assists, led the Shamrocks, who got 1+4 from Conor Payne and singles from Adam New, Cole Williamson and Austin Williamson. Cole McFarlane earned an assist and made 37 stops for the Irish, while Sam Hanley chipped in with two helpers. Already having to deal with a short bench, Armstrong head coach Bryan Cope is trying to coax more out the players he does have. “We didn’t play very well last night; guys aren’t stepping up,” said Cope. “It’s OK to make mistakes, but you’ve got to get in the game.”

The Tigers' Jay Seaton follows the play. Game 2 of the best-of-five series goes tonight (7:30) at Nor-Val Sports Centre. The teams combined for 86 minutes in penalties, the majority of them coming in the third period. Vernon’s Matt Kolb was ejected for trying to fight Armstrong’s Willy Hanley in the third period. Cam Nelson was also tossed as the third man in, while Hanley wasn’t penalized. The Shamrocks’ Drew Hassard earned an early shower (gross misconduct) for chirping at a referee. After a relatively civil regular-season series with Armstrong, Brumpton was surprised by the penalty parade in Game 1. “Usually some of our cleanest games are against them,” said Brumpton. Added Cope: “There was no flow to the game. It just got
out of hand.” As part of Armstrong’s centennial celebration, the Shamrocks will be hosting an alumni night at tonight’s game. All former players, coaches and volunteers are welcome to attend. The Shamrocks are asking all attending alumni to register at the front gate so they can be introduced during a firstintermission celebration. Meanwhile, the other TOJLL semifinal began Thursday night as the No. 1 seed Kelowna Raiders hosted the No. 4 Kamloops Venom at Memorial Arena. Game 2 goes Saturday in Kamloops.
Senior Shamrocks wrap regular season with loss to Rattlers Morning Star Staff
The Armstrong Shamrocks finally had a full roster to face the host Kamloops Rattlers, but it still wasn’t enough Wednesday night at Memorial Arena. The Rattlers used a five-goal night by Riley Donahue to brush back Armstrong 8-6 in the Shamrocks’ final Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League regular-
season tilt. The Shamrocks open playoffs Wednesday night against the host Kelowna Raiders, with Game 2 set for Friday night (7:30) at Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Irish opened their account Wednesday with Kaz Boudreau scoring on a dive through the crease. Pat Nelson added to the total with a powerplay goal.
The Rattlers got on the board before the intermission with a goal by Riley Donahue on a delayed penalty. Kriss Yargeau restored Armstrong’s twogoal cushion in the second period, but that seemed to wake up the Rattlers, who got three straight goals from Donahue, and a single from JJ Woldum. The Rocks answered back with a behind-
“Making your home come to life”
the-back goal from Thomas Belenger. The third period saw the teams exchange early goals – Donahue and AJ Lockwood counting for Kamloops, and Jamie Cockerill for the Rocks. Derek Swan put the Rattlers up 8-5 when he capitalized on a delay of game call to Steve Clark. The Shamrocks’ Chad Pounder got one back late, but it wasn’t enough.

Dr. Lee’s settle into Div. 1 penthouse Morning Star Staff
Dr. Lee’s Dental are widening the gap between themselves and their pursuers in the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 1. The floss crew outlasted Little Tex Outlaws 4-3 in a battle of the top two teams Tuesday night at Marshall Field #3. The Outlaws, now 5-2-5, opened the scoring on some gorgeous one-touch passing, capped by a Sarah Strobiki redirection. The 10-2 Dental crew pressed hard for the equalizer, hitting the crossbar on one scoring chance and just missing the net on another. Tenacious Delinah Erbenich finally answered for Dr. Lee’s just before halftime, burying a feed by Leah Frye. They took over the second half on three more goals by Erbenich. Little Tex got closed the gap with singles from Fahn Hastie and Kira Lee, but that was a close as they got as Dr. Lee keeper Lisa Arrotta made some great saves for the win. Little Tex Player of the Game went to Lee, whose nonstop hustle on the back line disrupted multiple scoring chances by Dr. Lee’s. Eileen Huisken had a great game in the midfield, delivering many beautiful crosses, while Monica Neilson and Maria Thorlakson also helped generate offence for Little Tex.
Hatten heats up Blazer attack
Jenny Hatten jumpstarted the AF Blazers with a pair of quick goals as they edged Wrap Zone 3-2 at Marshall #2. Shelby Price scored the eventual winner on a breakaway, helping the Blazers improve to 5-5-2. Wrap Zone (0-12) exploited the shorthanded Blazers as the game wore on, but were unable to equalize. The Blazers’ Amber Maltman had a stellar game on defence while Jeanette Maleska and Katie Hatten shared the win. The North Enderby Timber Celtics left it until late before shutting down host Glenn Power Contracting 2-1 in Salmon Arm. In the 88th minute, veteran Carly Smith curled a ball past two defenders to a streaking Paige Doherty, who cleverly duped the shielding defender and hammered home the winner with her left peg. NET (6-2-4) went down early on a great header from Glenn Power (4-5-2), but the Celtic pride showed as they pressed on under the sweltering heat. Early in the second half, the Celtics were awarded a penalty kick for a handball in the 18. Smith stepped up and directed a blast just under the crossbar for the equalizer. NET had several subs, which allowed the pressure to continue against Glenn Power.
Kickers can’t solve Kaos
In Masters Division play Tuesday night, Vernon Chick Kickers bowed 2-1 to the host Shuswap Kaos at Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union Sports Field. With just nine players to start, the 5-2-4 Kickers allowed a goal in the first 10 minutes. Fielding 10 players for the rest of the game, the Chicks got on the board when Jenny Garnett bombed past the defence after taking a feed from Crystal Bergman. The 3-7-1 Kaos completed the upset on a scramble in the second half.

Dr. Lee’s won 4-3. Vernon pretty much dominated most of the play, but just couldn’t hit the net on their scoring chances.
Controllers dial up win over NOU
The Vernon Controllers earned a slice of revenge for an earlier loss as they grounded North Okanagan United 1-0 at Marshall #4. NOU (3-5-4) took it to the Controllers (5-7-1) early, with Lena Dean settling a cross and driving it just wide. Playing in the blazing heat, the Controllers started to push back and gain entry into United territory. In the second half, the Controllers’ Ang Durfeld, Jenny Currie, Felicia O’Gorman, Michelle Mercer and Krista Backer all enjoyed solid scoring chances, but either sailed them just wide, struck the woodwork or were denied by keeper Dar Weise. In the final minute, Brandie Hunter sent a ball into the box, and after a scramble by the post, the ball went in off the head of an NOU defender for an own goal. Birthday girl Leslie Epp, Michele Wernicke and Sena Bishop had strong games along with Brandie Hunter whose confidence grew with every touch, earning her Player of the Match honors.
Keeper Mickey Templeton earned the clean sheet.
United shut down Drillers
TED United of Salmon Arm parlayed an early two-goal lead into a 4-0 win over Goplen’s Drillers in the sweltering Salmon Arm heat at SASCU fields. United, who moved to Masters from Division 1 last season, were held off the scoring sheet until the second half. The Drillers worked hard and demonstrated excellent ball control and passing for much of the game, however they were unable to capitalize on their chances. The defensive line of Stephanie Morrison, roadrunner Barb Levesque, Krista MacCagno and Jodi Peshko were a force against the United forwards. Keeper Shawn Nickoli had a strong game, with some fabulous saves. Michele Loxam, at centre half, had some great runs and serviced forwards Michelle Connelly, Maura McCarthy and Geri O’Brien. Kim Sylvester supplied the lone goal for Seasons Sistas as they bowed 6-1 to the first-place Longhorn Impact at Marshall #1. The Impact are undefeated at 13-0, while the last-place Sistas slipped to 1-9-1.

Morning Star Staff
North Enderby Timber took over sole possession of second place in the North Okanagan Soccer League table with a 2-0 win over Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels Wednesday night at Marshall Field #5. NET, now 7-3-1, utilized a full squad in the heat, making lots of subs and controlling the majority of the play. Striker Brent Poulsen opened the scoring in the 25th minute, controlling an expertly placed through ball from Aclis Man of the Match Danny Stein. Poulsen slipped the ball past the charging Camels’ keeper. NET kept up the pressure for the second half, narrowly missing a few golden opportunities. Stein capped the offence late in the game, powering a left footer from outside the 18. Sam Watson slipped through several defenders before setting up the play. Any chances the 6-4-2 Camels had were thwarted by Jesse Knight as he controlled the timber back line. Bryndon Buckham earned the shutout, making a couple great diving saves. A three-week layoff due to rain left Turn-Key Controls looking a little rusty as they dropped a 6-3 decision to leagueleading Salmon Arm Courvas FC in the Shuswap. Turn-Key (5-4) appeared to open the scoring early when Preston Tucker headed home a free kick from brother Nathan Tucker, but the play was called offside. Losing focus after the disputed call, Turn-Key fell behind Courvas 3-0 before Nathan Tucker headed home a Marco Arnold corner. Andrew Pool and Conan Ackert rounded out the scoring for the Controls. Salmon Arm improved to 9-1. Monashee Surveying FC rolled Peters Tirecraft/Concept Physio 4-0 at Marshall Field #4. The game started fairly even, but Monashee (4-5-1) started to generate more chances, pushing Tirecraft (1-8-2) into their own end. After being denied on a penalty shot, Monashee’s Alberto
Lisa VanderVeLde/Morning star
Lopez dangled his way through the back line to slot home the opening goal. Full of confidence, Monashee kept attacking, which resulted in a Glenn Allen goal off a scramble in the box. Lopez caught the tiring tiremen defence off guard with a quickly taken free kick just outside the 18 for his second of the night. With time winding down, Kevin Shaw volleyed home the final goal. Okanagan Spirits Man of the Match went to Brett Korberg for disrupting the Concept attack, and for taking a spell in net. Eagle Homes Nation of Domination won their match by forfeit as Riot FC was unable to field enough players. Instead, they played a friendly. Riot, who fell to 2-7-2, are dealing with multiple injuries and also have four players away at U17 provincials in Prince George. NOD are 6-1-2.

Vernon’s Matthew McEachran-Law improved upon his opening round 77 by firing an even-par 72 at the B.C. Junior Boy’s Golf Championships Wednesday at the Revelstoke Golf Course. With a competitive cut line of 154, McE achran-L aw’s was 30th heading into Day 3 Thursday. He was 10 strokes back of Kimberley’s Jared DuTois, who led the remaining field of 73 (153 total entries). Matthew Dutoit, 18, posted McEachran-Law a 4-under 68 second round to sit at 5-under (71-68-139). He took advantage of a morning tee time and posted some early birdies before the heat rolled in. Sitting a stroke back in second, thanks to a championship best 5-under 67, was 16-year-old Trevor Yu of Vancouver. Yu, a member of Team B.C. heading to the Canada Summer Games in Sherbrooke, Que., made short work of the difficult
6,537-yard Revelstoke track. He posted six birdies and a single bogey in Round 2 to sit at 4-under (73-67-140). Coldstream products Thomas Percy (84-83-167) and Austin Bosquet (84-90174) did not make the cut. The top-3 finishers will represent B.C. at the Canadian Juniors, hosted by the Timberwolf Golf Club, July 30-Aug. 2, in Garson, Ont. n Vernon’s Mackenzie Barrie started Round 3 of the B.C. junior girls provincials tied for 23rd Thursday at the Belmont Golf Course in Langley. Barrie, who has committed to the University of Wyoming’s women’s team, carded opening rounds of 80 and 81 to sit at 19-over on the par-71, 6,013-yard course. After going par in Round 1, Surrey’s Jamie Oleksiew shot a 2-under 69 in the second round to carry a two-stroke lead over Victoria’s Naomi Ko (72-70) heading into the third round. Oleksiew, a member of the Colorado University women’s team, fashioned five birdies, one bogey and a double bogey as part of her second round 69. The top three finishers at the 2013 B.C.

Stead, who recently won the Spallumcheen Men’s Championship, was consistent in carding rounds of 72-73 to finish in a tie for fifth. Chris stumbled on Day 1, posting a 79, but rebounded Sunday with a sizzling 69 for a share of eighth. Matt carded a 72 to follow up on his 77 and needed a playoff hole to punch his ticket to Copper Point, finishing 11th.

A number of opportunities are likely to develop for in the year ahead that could make it possible for you to generate income from more than one source. It’s a condition you always wanted to happen, but never thought possible.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Do your best to keep your priorities in good order. First, attend to your important obligations so that they’re not hanging over your head the entire day.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) A friend is anxious to talk about a personal issue, but is hesitant to do so. It might be up to you to put your pal at ease.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might be surprised by what you can learn simply by spending some quality time with a few bright pals. Additionally, it would be smart to ask a lot of questions.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Although you might not be too lucky with intangible involvements, all the good will you’re able to generate will end up being more valuable than money. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) It’ll be important to be f lexible where your important objectives are concerned. Circumstances are likely to necessitate changing your tactics at a moment’s notice. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Your best ideas are apt to come when reviewing situations that you successfully handled in past, which are similar to what you’re facing now. Trade on experience. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) A couple of rewarding situations could develop from two separate involvements. Both will involve distinctly different groups or organizations. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You shouldn’t have too much trouble finding several solutions to a critical issue. The only problem you might have is deciding which one to use.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Don’t hesitate to spend some time with a friend who has been indebted to you for some time. You could be in for a pleasant surprise when he or she picks up the tab. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) This is likely to be an extremely busy day in which you might have to handle several problems simultaneously. Fortunately, you’ll be able do so with grace and aplomb.
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.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Try to use your free time as productively as possible. If you don’t, you might end up writing today off as wasted. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) It’s OK to enjoy yourself as much as possible, but be sure to seek both mental and physical stimulation. Relax and have fun while improving your mind and body.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder STEP FROM ONE TRICK TO THE NEXT Thomas Mann, a German author who won the 1929 Nobel Prize in literature and lived in the United States from 1939 to 1952, said, “Order and simplification are the first steps toward the mastery of a subject.” The declarer should step through the order of the tricks in his mind. Today’s South is in five clubs. West leads the heart king. When East signals enthusiastically with his nine, West continues with a low heart. East wins with his ace and shifts to a spade. How should South continue? North’s redouble showed 10 or more high-
card points. East jumped to two hearts to indicate at least a five-card suit. He was not promising a strong hand, because he was marked with weakness. If South had opening values, West enough for a takeout double, and North 10-plus points, how could East have much? South took the opportunity to show he had long clubs. Then North bid what he hoped his partner could make. Should South finesse in spades at trick three? Well, suppose the finesse wins. What would happen next? Declarer draws trumps and must take the diamond finesse for his contract. But if the diamond finesse is
winning, the spade finesse is an unnecessary risk. South should win the third trick with his spade ace, cash the club ace, play a diamond to dummy’s jack, return to his hand with a trump, repeat the diamond finesse, discard the spade queen on the diamond ace and claim.

Acting out at camp Morning Star Staff
Lisa VanderVeLde/Morning star
Alexander Katalinic jumps into the arms of Ben Evans-Langton as they cower with director Sam Helmer and Samantha Sewell after hearing a sinister noise during a rehearsal for the Missoula Children’s Theatre Wednesday at the Performing Arts Centre.
Local youth are taking on one beast of a show at summer camp this week, but at least there are no annoying mosquitos to swat away. Located in the cool confines of the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, the students, ages six to 18, are instead learning the ins and outs of the theatre. The annual week-long summer camp offered by Missoula Children’s Theatre is back at the centre, and this year 54 kids are enrolled and getting ready to stage Beauty Lou and Country Beast, said Brian van Wensem, the PAC’s audience development coordinator. “The show is based on Beauty and the Beast and it’s Missoula Children’s Theatre’s twist on things where they make it their own story,” said van Wensem. One of the largest touring children’s theatres in the U.S., Missoula will visit nearly 1,200 communities this year with up to 47 teams of tour actor/directors. The tour team arrives in a given town with a set, lights, costumes, props and
make-up, everything it takes to put on a play, except the cast. That’s where the camp participants come in. Under the direction of Sam Helmer and Angela Raielle Brown, the Vernon campers are doing much more than just memorizing lines. Besides playing fun theatre games, and getting to know one another, the campers are getting an experience that develops creativity, social skills, goal achievement and self-esteem, said van Wensem. “For those who aren’t interested in being in the spotlight, there are backstage spots available that will teach important fundamentals of running a production from behind the scenes.” The students’ hard work culminates Saturday when Beauty Lou and the Country Beast takes the stage for two open-to-the public shows at the Performing Arts Centre at 3:30 and 5:30 p.m. Tickets to see the production are $12 each (all seats) and can be purchased at the Ticket Seller, 549-7469, ticketseller.ca.
Block party will have local youth feeling the beat
Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
A different kind of stage is being set up for a block party at Polson Park July 13. The all-ages free community event, from noon to 6 p.m., features art and music, but instead of the artists playing in the park’s bandshell, organizers are constructing a stage next to the skateboard park. “This adds to the youthfulness of our festival and creates a much more interactive atmosphere. It will be quite the sight to see the crowd inside of the skate bowl while the artists perform right above them on the lip of the skate park,” said John Oh, with 13th Floor Entertainment. The Vernon-based entertainment, events and artist agency, which is hosting the party, has held a number of hip hop and DJ-based events at local nightclubs, but this time decided to open up the floor, so to speak. “One thing we noticed was that the under 19-plus crowd would also ask us for allages shows so we acted on that request and decided to put it on at Polson Park,” said Oh. Headlining the event is Vernon-raised hip hop artist SonReal (Aaron Hoffman), who used to skate at the park as a youth before making his way to Vancouver and a lucrative music career, which has included a number of top-selling mix tapes and other recordings. This past year has been a big one for the

Nominated for a Juno award for Rap Recording of the Year for his 2012 album The Closers, recorded with Toronto-based hip hop artist Rich Kidd, SonReal recently attended the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto after the video for his and Rich Kidd’s single Hometown was nominated for Hip Hop Video of the Year. The video was partially shot in Vernon and Coldstream and includes scenes of SonReal and his friends at Kal Beach as well
Kelowna • Penticton • Salmon Arm • Valleyview Rutland • West Kelowna • Vernon • North Kamloops • Sahali
as at W.L. Seaton Secondary, where Hoffman attended high school. SonReal also embarked on a nationwide tour with Rich Kidd in promotion of The Closers, sharing stages with such artists as Down With Webster, Mac Miller and others. He has begun work on new solo material due for release in the next month. Another hip hop artist making waves who is scheduled to perform is Vernon’s Immaculate (Julian Wolansky). The recent winner of the B.C.-wide Hip-
Hop Album of the Year at the Vancouver Island Music Awards, Immaculate recently won an international songwriting contest titled Who’s the Illest, held by Illegal Wreckords and Cryptic Wisdom with hundreds of entries worldwide. In May, he hit the road with MC/beatboxer Emotionz for the On the Up and Up Western Canadian Tour and he has performed a number of shows since. He is also the only local hip-hop artist to hit Kelowna’s Center of Gravity Festival on the August long weekend, which will be his second appearance there. Immaculate’s 11-song concept album with fellow artist Memo is expected for release in the near future. Other artists scheduled to perform at the block party include Vancouver’s DJ Rich-A, who will accompany SonReal, local bands The Original Shakedown and Paperboy, as well as Windmills, Chrispin, Ecklipze, Jaicen Serait, Stage and special guests. Sound will be provided by Envasion. “They have been helping to create some amazing stages for festivals such as Center of Gravity and Shambhala. They also have been putting on the most epic high school dances in Vernon for the past couple years,” said Oh. In addition, The Hub Arts Collective and Teen Junction will be setting up booths with live art and various hand-crafted merchandise to sell.

The Heat rises and falls
The Heat
F
BI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) and Boston Detective Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy) take “good cop, bad cop” to an all-new high, or low, depending on how you look at it. We say, “It has enough style to succeed, but not enough to resoTaylor and Howe nate.” TAYLOR: For those of you who haven’t seen the trailer, The Heat puts an uptight nerd in a partnership with a reckless slob in order to catch the bad guys. We’ve seen a version of this several times over, from Dragnet to last year’s remake of 21 Jump Street. The odd couple formula is tried and tested. The story is old and this leaves The Heat answering only one question: Do you want to watch Sandra Bullock deal with Melissa McCarthy for 90 minutes? HOWE: I’d like Sandra Bullock to deal with me for 90 minutes, but that’s not going to happen, so let’s get back to the review. It’s true that this is a typical cop-buddy-comedy movie, but this is the first time I can remember the roles being played by females. I don’t put Charlie’s Angels in the same category, as that’s a little far fetched of a storyline, whereas, The Heat at least tries to keep it real. TAYLOR: Well the level of realism is debatable, but I will agree that the film doesn’t ask us to, for instance, believe that
Reel Reviews
20th Century Fox
Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy are law enforcers at odds with each other in The Heat. either lady can deliver flying ninja kicks. It does ask us to accept the same old plot lines of the regular buddy-cop formula delivered in a new vehicle. My problem is specifically with McCarthy’s usual uncouth shtick. The Heat is a film that relies on her smashing around like a bull in a china shop and running her mouth. As I’ve stated before, McCarthy is a better actress than this, deserving of something more becoming. I think the film would have been funnier and more exciting if McCarthy had played the straight-laced nerd and Bullock had run off her foul mouth. HOWE: Yeah, I’ll agree with you on that. There are only so many F bombs you can take in a movie, and this is littered throughout with them. Even Ms. Bullock uses them and when she does it doesn’t seem natural. As for the storyline
it is the same ol’, same ol’ but a lot lamer: Meet new partners, hate them for a while, start to like them, hit a problem and split, then in the last 10 minutes have a revelation that they should be working together and solve the case. TAYLOR: There were a lot of people laughing in the theatre. This movie is going to please McCarthy fans. I’m not one of them, but I can’t fault the movie just because I don’t like obnoxious buffoonery. The film itself is reasonably well put together and attempts to pay homage to cool cop movies from the ‘70s. For this, I give it a passing grade, barely. Howe gives The Heat 2 ginger cats out of 5. Taylor gives it 2.5 jutting sternums out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Brad Paisley: Wheelhouse
ountry singer/ guitarist Brad Paisley’s ninth album, Wheelhouse, is a homegrown recording that sounds big, focussed, and for Paisley, expansive. The guitarist turned his Tennessee farmhouse into a studio, brought his six-piece road band on over and started tracking songs. Paisley is a slick, expressive guitar player who embodies all of the
country genre’s traits (speed, clean attack, twangy tone, etc.) along with his own cartoonish edge-of-your-seat phrasing. Most importantly he can be tasteful. As a bandleader and front man, Paisley is at the top of his game and Wheelhouse also highlights his vocal prowess. He’s an easygoing singer whose style projects a friendly persona, and a sure way with a vocal hook.
sTReeT sounds
Dean Gordon-Smith
Although Paisley’s (and his band, The Drama Kings) type of country music is Nashville-rooted and somewhat regional, he makes deliberate forays beyond the pale.

The most obvious are songs like Southern Comfort Zone, which unfolds like a travelogue from a Southerner’s point of view. It’s sentimentally rooted in stock country wistfulness but is musically charged by Paisley’s touring band and his feel-good vocal. Other tracks are Karate, an unsentimental and clever reading on intimidation and abuse and the potentially cheesy Accidental Racist. Paisley’s honesty and direct good intentions save this track from failure and his willingness to frame his message in a potentially charged subject are admirable. He gets vocal assistance here from LL Cool J. Those Crazy Christians is another potentially controversial track with Paisley riffing on southern Christian foibles and culture. It comes across as a witty, mainly benign observation: insightful rather than judgemental. All these songs are swept along by a super solid
performance by the fleet- fingered Paisley and his band. There’s the odd weird track like the goofy Death of a Married Man featuring Eric Idle(!) and the music hall schmaltz of Harvey Bodine. But Wheelhouse is a long player and there’s classic party anthems that Paisley excels in like the smiley, happy Beat This Summer and Outstanding in Our Field, a witty homage to weekend warriors. Just so they can hit all the stations and subjects, Paisley brings on the heartache in Pressing on a Bruise, a convincing take on unresolved obsession and longing and a big country ballad with sweet guitar work, I Can’t Change the World. There’s even a speedy instrumental on track #7 just to burn up a few fretboards. Overall, Wheelhouse is an ambitious album that moves Paisley in a few different directions while maintaining his super-picker status.

Local cyclists have global focus Cyclists are gearing up for the Lake2Lake Ride for Rwanda Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Mathias Fellenz is a local cyclist with a global focus. After taking up road cycling in 2010, he heard about the Lake2Lake Ride for Rwanda. He wasn’t sure he could do a 100 km ride two days in a row but the idea intrigued him and he decided to give it a try. From that trip he learned more about the ride’s sponsor, the Wellspring Foundation for Education, and the work they do in Rwanda. Last year Mathias’ wife Lora also took up cycling and now it has become a regular family activity. Wellspring is a Canadian charity that has been working in Rwanda since 2004, equipping teachers at the heart of the education system to make a difference in the quality of the lives of young people across Rwanda. The team of Rwandan teacher-trainers helps 48 entire school communities to bring transformation and sustainable results. They are improving school quality and teacher motivation through training in servant leadership, peace and reconciliation, quality education, worldview, parental involvement in education and the integration of values into the curriculum so that more than 63,000 children are being impacted. School communities have made significant progress, including improved parent-teacher collaboration, decreased absenteeism, increased active participation, greater care for students and higher motivation. An opportunity to be part of a vision trip to Rwanda this spring served to further

Mathias (front) and Lora Fellenz (rear) cycling in Rwanda in March as part of Lake2Lake Ride for Rwanda. develop Mathias and Lora’s understanding of the focus of Wellspring and the country’s past, present and future. On that trip they were able to ride some of the back roads of Rwanda by mountain bike. “It was a really neat experience,” said Mathias. “Dusty, dirty roads kind of came up in your face and yet all the way along there was phenomenal scenery and a wonderful openness with the people. “We had this one experience where we were coming up a long hill. The people of the next village obviously saw us coming. By the time we got to the top, everyone was lining both sides of the road, cheering as each one crested the hill. It felt like we were in the Tour de France!” What impressed Lora was the opportunity to experience the backbone of Rwanda and interact with its people. “To meet and engage with
the people in the countryside gave us a real sense of who the people are that Wellspring is partnering with,” she said. Mathias and Lora were also struck by the quality of the people involved with Wellspring. “They have a heart for the people and a heart for education,” said Mathias. “Their commitment is very solid, very strong.” When Mathias and Lora found out the dates of this year’s Lake2Lake, they were disappointed, since they had already committed to a 46-day bike tour from St. Petersburg, Russia to Istanbul, Turkey. However, as they thought more about it they decided that if people in Canada could ride in support of Rwanda, they could ride in Eastern Europe in support of Rwanda.

Daughter is still grieving
ear Annie: I’ve been friends with “Jane” and “Carol” since college. Unfortunately, since her mom died well over a decade ago, Jane has become a hermit. She is distant, and whenever we make plans, she makes an excuse at the very last minute to cancel on us. We’re frustrated. While I can sympathize with her ter- Kathy Mitchell & MarcySugar rible loss, I feel she needs to move on and start living again. She can’t hide in her room forever. Carol and I are not sure how to approach this. We want to be sensitive to Jane’s feelings but at the same time get her to realize that she has friends and family who love her and want to spend time with her. What should we do? — Frustrated Friends Dear Friends: If Jane has been so severely depressed about her mother’s death for more than a decade, she needs professional help. She is stuck. Tell her you are worried about her, and suggest she look into counseling to help her get her life back on track. She also can find a Motherless Daughters support group through hopeedelman.com.
Dear Annie: After 56 years of marriage, our father passed away and left my mother alone for the first time in her life. Four years after Dad died, Mom suffered a bout of meningitis. While she has recovered completely, she is convinced that she is bedridden. I moved back home to take care of her because no one else would. My younger sister lives in the house with us, but does her own thing. The problem is, four other siblings live in the same city, and three are retired. Yet no one helps look after Mom but me. Mom has a sharp tongue, but her memory is shot. Even when she is insulting, she doesn’t remember it. I drive nearly 100 miles a day to and from work. When I get home, I clean the kitchen and make sure Mom has a hot meal while watching TV. I am D.O.T.: disappointed, overwhelmed and tired. My spirit is broken; I don’t spend time with friends; I don’t talk on the phone; I don’t do anything. I worry that I will die of exhaustion and Mom will be alone. My mother, of course, has no sympathy for my situation. I am not the executor of her will or a beneficiary. But I would like to enjoy a few years before my life is over. — Tired and Miserable Dear Tired: You are kind, compassion-
ate and devoted. But you don’t need to wear yourself out for your mother. That does neither of you any good. Of course, your siblings should step up, but they are not going to do it, so handle this as if you were an only child. Your mother could benefit from day care programs, and you need respite care. Contact the Eldercare Locator (eldercare.gov), AARP (aarp.org), the Family Caregiver Alliance (caregiver. org) and the Alzheimer’s Association (alz. org) for information and help. Dear Annie: “Trouble in Hubbard” is the executor of her mother’s estate. She is concerned that one grandson has borrowed a great deal of money, and she wants to deduct that amount from his inheritance after Grandma dies. As an executor of an estate (or trustee of a trust), “Trouble” has no choice but to divide and distribute Grandma’s will or trust the way it’s written upon her death. Since debts owed Grandma prior to her death are legitimate assets of the estate, this would require adjusting a beneficiary’s share of distributions. To do otherwise opens the executor or trustee to lawsuits from the other beneficiaries. If it contributes to family strife, “Trouble” should resign in favor of appointing a bank or licensed trust company as executor. — Kailua, Hawaii

ment in your chart means, and if you are being smart with the whole money issue; to determine if you are on the right path in your ‘career’ choice, and taking up the correct role in your endeavors.” The course will look at how your destiny and fate impact you in your everyday life, with the focus on how to act on your strengths, and how to make the correct changes by understanding your weaknesses. The course will also help you look at how to relate to your spouse and others more harmoniously, relative to the “relationship” factors in your chart.
“We will also look at the meaning of the Useful God, to see how we determine this key element in your chart, and how it affects the outcome of different aspects in your life at different points in time,” said Hwang. The course takes place Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., both days, with breaks for coffee/tea and lunch, at the Schubert Centre, 3505-30th Ave. The $400 cost includes all printed materials, lunches and refreshments. Pre-registration is required by contacting Hwang at thwangfsdesign@shaw.ca. For details, see www.teresahwang.com

This is Dave... Dave has ideas for your entire house.

In Wednesday’s Kitchen Wit & Wisdom column, a section was omitted in the recipe for Grilled Brie and Ciabatta Topped with Slow-Roasted Sunblushed Tomatoes. The Morning Star apologizes for the error and any confusion this may have caused; following is the complete recipe for Slow-Roasted Sunblushed Tomatoes. Sunblushed Tomatoes 250g (1/2 lb) fresh cherry tomatoes 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano 1/8 teaspoon sugar 1/4 cup olive oil In early morning while the house is still cool, heat your oven to its top temperature.
Remove the stems from the tomatoes and cut larger ones in half along their equator. Place cut side up in an ovenproof dish. Mix together the salt, thyme, oregano and sugar and sprinkle over the top of the tomatoes. Drizzle with the olive oil and put in the oven. Immediately, turn the heat down to somewhere in the region of 165-200°F. This isn’t an exact science, and will depend on how long you want to wait for your tomatoes...the lower the temperature, the longer it will take but the more flavourful they will be. Cook for two to three hours, until the tomatoes are soft and fragrant. They should lose their raw look, but not be charred. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Makes about 1 cup (can easily be multiplied, though).
Our Business is Glowing Don’t let confusion Eclipse your lighting decisions. Dave and our other experts are here to help with fixtures, lamps, shades, bulbs and ceiling fans.

Alleged terrorism plot targeted Legislature jeff nagel Black Press
Two Surrey residents accused of planting pressure cooker bombs outside the B.C. Legislature on Canada Day are described by police as “Al-Qaeda-inspired” but “selfradicalized.” B.C. RCMP arrested John Stewart Nuttall and Amanda Marie Korody in Abbotsford at 2 p.m. Monday afternoon after a five-month investigation that began in February. The alleged homegrown terror plot is similar to that of the Boston Marathon bombers, who used pressure cooker bombs to send shrapnel through the crowd near the race’s finish line on April 15. RCMP seized three explosive devices made from pressure cookers that contained nails, bolts, nuts and washers that were placed on the legislative assembly grounds. Nuttall, 38 and Korody, 29, are charged with making or possessing an explosive device, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, and knowingly facilitating terrorist activity. “These individuals were inspired by Al-Qaeda ideology,” RCMP Assistant Commissioner James Malizia said. “Our investigation has determined this was a domestic threat without international linkages.” The alleged motive of the two accused is not clear but there is no indication of any connection to Islamic beliefs or religion. The RCMP says the pair “took steps to

Police show three pressure cookers rigged as bombs and placed around the Legislature Monday. build explosive devices and place them at the B.C. Legislature in Victoria where crowds were expected to gather on Canada Day.” The Legislature lawn and inner harbour were crowded with an estimated 40,000 revelers for Monday’s Canada Day concert and fireworks. Police aren’t saying if undercover officers were working with the duo but Malizia said they were being closely monitored and police ensured the bombs were inert and could not detonate. “While the RCMP believed this threat was real, at no time was the security of the public at risk,” Malizia said. “We detected the threat early and disrupted it.” The arrests were made after a joint
investigation of the RCMP E Division, the Canadian Border Services Agency and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, dubbed Project Souvenir. “I want to reassure our citizens that at all times during the investigation, our primary focus was the safety and protection of the public,” Malizia said. Nor was the Canada Day crowd in Victoria the only potential target that may have been contemplated. “The suspects were committed to acts of violence and discussed a wide variety of targets and techniques,” said RCMP Assistant Commissioner Wayne Rideout, adding they were “self-radicalized” and aimed to cause “maximum impact to Canadian citizens at the B.C. Legislature on a national holiday.”
A variety of covert investigation methods were used to control any method the suspects had to commit harm, he added. Rideout said the bombs are believed to have been made in Surrey and at other locations in B.C. “As these devices were constructed we were in very tight control,” he said. “We were confident that public risk was absolutely minimized.” Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said the two alleged terrorists have lived in Surrey for about 18 months and had a transient lifestyle, moving fluidly in the region. She couldn’t say whether the pair had substance abuse issues. She also understands they gathered much of their information about what they were doing from the internet. “I think they’re fairly unsophisticated,” Watts said. Korody has no prior criminal charges, but Nuttall was convicted of robbery in 2003 in Victoria and received an 18-month conditional sentence. An addicted drug user at the time, Nuttall had hit a businessman on the head with a rock and stole his briefcase. In March 2010, he was convicted of assault, mischief and possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose – also in Victoria – and received a 60-day conditional sentence (house arrest) and one year of probation. Nuttall and Korody appeared in Surrey Provincial Court Tuesday and make their next appearance July 9.

John Archer Cochrane July 26, 1916 - July 1, 2013
It is with sadness that we announce John Cochrane passed away at Vernon Jubilee Hospital on July 1st at the age of 96 years. He will be greatly missed by his circle of friends in Vernon and his extended family for his quick wit, his friendly smile and his positive attitude toward life. He will be remembered by his eight nieces and nephews and their families. John leaves to mourn: his nieces: Mabel Appleyard (Reg), Barbara Garside (Richard), Carol White (Cliff), Beth MacGougan (John), Marion Murphy(Dan); and his nephews: Jim Lowen (Laura), Craig Lowen (Sheila), and Linden Cochrane. John was born in Coronation, Alberta, to Mary and Linden Cochrane. He had three older siblings: Ethel, George, and Amy, and two younger brothers, Edward and Arthur. He has out lived all of them and is in that respect the last of a family of pioneers who came west from Ontario seeking farming land. John was educated in the local Lucerne School and was known throughout the district for his ability to play lively music on the violin at dances. He loved music all his life and was often found singing and playing on his keyboard. One of his great joys in the last few years was to be involved in the project out at Coldstream Meadows where he taught a youngster how to play the banjo and supported the idea that seniors and children had much to offer each other. John moved from Coronation, eventually settling in Edmonton where he had a refrigeration repair business “Cool Flow”. He married Laureen Clegg and they had many good times together, enjoying square dancing and trips in their trailer. After Laureen died he was lonely for some time until he met his second wife Marlene Mahon at a square dance event. They travelled back and forth between Arizona and Edmonton and then decided to make their home in Vernon. John loved the small town, friendly feel of Vernon. Unfortunately, Marlene died of a tumor behind her eye not long after they moved to Vernon. In his last years, John had been supported by a wide circle of friends, from the Schubert Centre pool players, the Rotary group, to people he met in the park, but most especially by Lloyd and Marion Mitchell. The family is grateful for all this help. We admire John’s ability to make friends wherever he was. He will be missed. The funeral service was held in the chapel of Pleasant Valley Funeral Home on Thursday, July 4th, 2013. Inurnment will take place at a later date in Edmonton. Cremation arrangements have been entrusted to Pleasant Valley Funeral Home. Condolences may be offered at www.pleasantvalleyfh.com

GORDON SIDNEY STARK (FCA) 1923 - 2013 It is with profound sadness that the family of Gordon Sidney Stark, formerly of Swift Current SK, and Vernon BC and recently of Surrey BC announces he passed away peacefully at the age of 89 on June 21, 2013 at Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock BC. Our treasured Dad, Grandad, Great Grandad, brother and uncle will be missed terribly by his family including his five children, Bonita (Don) Findlay of Surrey BC, Jennifer Stark of Cochrane AB, Heather Hamilton of Gold Coast, Queensland Australia, Gordon Stark of Victoria BC, and Jodie Stark (Jeff Bernath) of Saskatoon SK; seven grandchildren, Nicole (Dwayne) Faust of Kelowna BC, Jaime (Gary) Houston of Brisbane, Queensland Australia, Kelsey and Kevin Drozdowski (Shawna-Seah McDonald) of Calgary AB, Brandon Thompson of Victoria BC, and Capri and Chase Bernath of Saskatoon SK; and five great-grandchildren, Joshua, James, Matthew, Cameron and Brady Faust of Kelowna BC. He is also survived by his sister Barbara Bloom and nephew Glen Bloom (Deborah Duffy) of Ottawa ON, and his constant, devoted companion, his little dog Buffie. Gordon was predeceased by his wife Elizabeth (Bette) Stark in 2007, parents Alexander and Constance Stark, and nephew Randall Bloom. Gordon was born in Calgary, AB in 1923. After completing his articles he was admitted to the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Alberta in 1947 and was awarded a Life Membership in 1987 in recognition of 40 years of distinguished service to the CA profession. Gordon married Bette Appleton in 1945. They moved to Swift Current SK and Gordon entered private practice with the CA firm Hesford, Wik & Jeffrey. The Starks raised five children and established many close friendships in Swift Current over 42 years. A low handicap golfer and competitive curler, Gordon spent many happy hours at the golf course and curling rink. Awarded his distinguished Fellow designation (FCA) by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Saskatchewan, Gordon was recognized by his peers and colleagues for his extensive community involvement and for his commitment to the profession. Gordon was founding chair of the Cypress Hills Community College and was appointed by the provincial government to the Universities Commission which acted as a liaison between the province’s universities and the government in matters related to funding. He was chair of the Swift Current Housing Authority for many years and president of the Chamber of Commerce, Kiwanis Club and Elmwood Golf Club. After retiring as senior partner with Stark & Company, Gordon and Bette moved to Vernon BC in 1989 where he was closer to his sister Barbara. He continued his lifelong passion for computer technology and he golfed and curled for several years with new friends. Following Bette’s death in 2007, he moved to Kelowna, BC and then Surrey, BC to be closer to family. Cremation has taken place with arrangements entrusted to Wiebe & Jeske Burial & Cremation Care Providers. A family memorial celebration of life will be held at a later date. Condolences and favourite memories of Gordon sent by email to jenn.stark@shaw.ca will be forwarded to the family.

Ed moved to Vancouver at the age of 16. He graduated from Kitsilano school in 1950 then went on to Port Alberni, where he got a job in the Somass mill, retiring in 1992. Ed and Gloria enjoyed winter trips to exotic places and summer touring on the island in their 5th wheel. Ed was an avid sportsman excelling in Softball and Bowling. So many people to thank for helping with Ed’s care and comfort including the VIHA nurses, Red Cross and Palliative care. Family gathering at a later date. PRAISE HIM FOR ALL HE DID, OR TRIED TO DO. FORGIVE HIM FOR ALL THE THINGS HE DID NOT DO OR COULD NOT DO.
The family wishes to extend their heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the staff at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital, Dr. Dyck and Dr. Hardy for your kind support and care provided to Klaus.

MARKLE
Virginia Ann
Virginia began life on November 28th, 1925, the youngest of five girls born to Alice and Kenneth Kinnard. The family grew up a short walk away from grandparents, Alice and Thomas Richmond. The Richmond’s had settled in Vernon in 1911 and had a farm on Pleasant Valley Road. Christmas’s would find all three generations heading out BX Road on a horse drawn sleigh to find their Christmas tree. Virginia met William (Bill) Markle while still attending school in Vernon. They would marry on June 10, 1946. Ginny and Bill lived in Vancouver for a short period but returned to Vernon where Bill was employed by Okanagan Equipment. Virginia worked, along with her father, at Associated Growers. With dedication and love, they raised four children while owning and managing a successful business. Mom was a very resourceful and creative person. She spent countless hours sewing and knitting clothes for her family. Always enterprising and fearless, she tackled any job, from helping Bill build a cabin on Okanagan Lake to wielding a pick axe to install a pool — she was unstoppable. Ginny followed in her mother’s dedication to Trinity United Church. She was a long time member and belonged to the women’s group. She also volunteered her time to various causes over the years. Ginny and Bill travelled extensively, enjoying adventures in many places including China, Mongolia, Russia, Australia, England and Europe. On Friday, June 28, 2013, Ginny passed away peacefully at Heritage Square. She will always be lovingly remembered by her family. Virginia was predeceased by her husband, Bill Markle in 1992; sister Norma Ross; sister and brothers-in-law: Helen and Norman McGee, Kenna and Pat Worth, Doris and Lloyd Beattie; and by one grandson, Brodie Schultz. She is survived by her children: Lea (Paul) Worth, Robert (Julia) Markle, Wendy Schultz, and Ron (Clarice) Markle; grandchildren: Sean and Jamie Worth, Ryan and Danny Schultz, Keiren and Devon Markle; great grandchildren: Evan, Hannah, Nathan, Curtis, Jaida, Cooper; and by her brother-in-law, Jack Ross. Flowers are gratefully declined. Those friends wishing to make memorial contributions in memory of Ginny may do so to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation or to the B. C. Cancer Society. A family service will be held at a later date. Arrangements have been entrusted to Pleasant Valley Funeral Home, Phone: 250-542-4333.

Oct. 28, 1918 – July 1, 2013
Born in Winnipeg, she was a resident of Calgary for many years prior to moving to the Vernon area in 1980. Dorothy was predeceased by her husband, George, in 1994. She will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her son, Robert and his wife Linda of Beaumont, Alberta, and daughter Pat and her husband, Ken Moore of Coldstream. A private family Graveside Service was held at Pleasant Valley Cemetery.

The family wishes to thank Dr. L Pritchett for his patient and understanding care of Olive over the many years he was her physician. We would also like to thank the Interior Health for their amazing, loving and concerned caregivers who took care of mom at home where she wanted to live her last days. They made her last wish of being home possible and comfortable. Olive will be forever loved and never forgotten.
It is with sadness we announce the passing of Tressie Clara Malone, at the age of ninety-three years, on June 25, 2013 in Vernon, BC.
