Crash claims Enderby woman A tragic accident just south of Enderby remains under investigation. A 49-year-old Enderby area woman died Wednesday at about 4 p.m. when her Chevy Astro van collided head-on with a semitruck on Highway 97A, near the Starlight Drive-In. The B.C. Coroners Service confirmed the identity of the victim Thursday as Peggy (Margaret) Irene Ann Armstrong. “The incident is still under investigation,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “Officers will be talking to witnesses and we suspect there will be an autopsy.” A two-year-old child in the van

was rescued by witnesses before the vehicle was consumed by fire. The incident apparently occurred when the northbound van swerved and crossed into the southbound lane. Witnesses say it almost struck a motorcycle before crashing into the semi-truck, which was pulling a trailer. “The van spun several times before coming to rest in a ditch. The left side of the vehicle immediately caught on fire,” said Molendyk. Attempts by witnesses to remove the woman motorist were unsuccessful. The child sustained minor injuries while the 36-year-old Peachland man driving the semitruck was taken to hospital with broken wrists.

A Vernon woman has been arrested in an alleged flood relief scam in Alberta. On July 13, Edmonton police arrested a 24-yearold woman after receiving a public tip about a woman who matched the description of an individual wanted for alleged fraud. “Investigators believe the accused was falsely soliciting donations through the sale of boxes of doughnuts in support of Southern Alberta flood victims in numerous shopping outlets throughout Edmonton and area,” states an Edmonton Police Service release. It’s alleged that a table would be set up in a mall and patrons were offered a box of doughnuts for a $5 donation. Only credit cards and debit cards were accepted for payment. “Armed with the card number and the PIN number, the perpetrators defrauded the individuals of thousands of dollars,” stated the release. Shalayne Whitney Lewis, of Vernon, was arrested and charged with four counts of fraud and possession of instruments for forgery. Lewis appeared in Edmonton court Monday and was released on a bail order. She is scheduled to return to court Aug. 12.

A Midsummer’s dream comes true Kristin Froneman

Morning Star Staff

With a quarter slice of the moon shining above, there was quite a bit of whimsy and a beautiful view to savour at Wednesday’s Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts. The 27th annual benefit for the Vernon Public Art Gallery rediscovered its bearings moving to a new venue located high above Bella Vista Road. Guests couldn’t get enough of the view, looking at the lakes and valley below with its orchards and vineyards, as well as the art displayed as they mingled both inside and outside the three-level estate at Turtle Mountain Winery. Art gallery executive director Dauna Kennedy Grant could be seen flitting between the levels putting a few bids in herself in the silent and live auctions. An estimated $32,000 was raised from the event, which goes into the VPAG’s programming and exhibitions. “I think everyone enjoyed themselves. The feedback we received had so many positive comments,” she said. “People were loving the new venue and the quality of the art. We were happy with everything the artists contributed, and happy with the way everything came together. It was a good experience and we are looking forward to it getting bigger and better next year.” Turtle Mountain owners Sid and Min Sidhu could also be seen chatting with guests and enjoying the sights, especially as their daughter, Dilan, 10, had her face painted to match her dress by local artist/musician Tanya Lipscomb. “They did a beautiful job,” said Min, remarking not only on Lipscomb’s work, but on the gardens, draped in gauzy colourful fabrics and other accents designed by the team of volunteers. Wearing a floor-length Elizabethanera dress to adhere with the event’s Shakespearean theme, Midsummer’s committee chairperson Ruth Hoyte gave a shout out to the volunteers who gave their time to make the event possible. “It’s wonderful to see such dedication and support for the Vernon Public Art Gallery,” she wrote in the event programme. Upstairs on the main floor, people placed bids on the silent auction items, which ranged from large canvasses to gift certificates for specialty items. “This is our first visit. We came as supporters of the arts,” said Lumby’s Renate Leroux, accompanied by her husband Lauren. “There is lots to see and we are throwing our numbers down in the auction.”

While the sultry tones of singer Kath Raeber and her band Kath and TomKats filled the night air, guests noshed on delicious canapés prepared by Fig Catering, fresh fruit, and a variety of cheeses and breads, by Village Cheese Company and Cobs Bread, respectively. Many sipped on Okanagan Spirits’ signature cocktail, consisting of a splash of vodka, raspberry liqueur and pineapple juice, shaken and stirred by the award-winning distillery’s Rodney Goodchild. Gray Monk Estate Winery and Starbucks Coffee were also on hand with libation, of the alcoholic and non-alcoholic variety, to

keep guests lively for the main event, the live auction, held under a tent in the gardens. With emcee Betty Selin of Sun FM calling everyone to attention, Midsummer mainstays Don and Peter Raffan of Armstrong’s Valley Auction started their rapid-fire banter to auction off the 42 pieces of juried art. “We downsized the auction so it went faster. The bids came in well,” said Kennedy Grant, adding, “We may be looking at changes next year and will have the music continue after the auction is over. This is the kind of venue where people want to mingle afterwards. We saw a lot of new faces out there and we want to see them keep coming back.”

Ashton Creek residents are demanding action to ensure devastating floods can be avoided. Residents met with regional director Jackie Pearase, MLA Greg Kyllo and MP Colin Mayes Saturday to outline conditions along Ashton Creek. “The culvert has five feet of gravel in it and its capacity is compromised,” said Greg Robinson, who helped organize the meeting. Jackie Pearase “The creek needs to be dredged and there is a lot of debris up high waiting to come down. If there is high water next year, there will be flooding.” Ashton Creek overflowed its banks in June 2012, damaging property and forcing residents out of their homes. “Something has to be done,” said Robinson. “We will have an emergency because the banks are being washed away.” Flood measures are not part of the Regional District of North Okanagan’s mandate, but Pearase is investigating possibly funding an engineering study to place pressure on the provincial government to take action. “We need to demonstrate that it’s an issue and preventative work is more important than emergency work,” she said. “I would like the province to step up and do some preventative measures on Ashton Creek.” Pearase isn’t sure when she may determine if there will be a study and even if there is, she points out that senior government would have to be funding partners. “I totally understand that people want something done but it’s a question of who takes responsibility?” she said.

North Westside chief disputes absence richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Uncertainty continues to swirl around the North Westside Fire Department. The Regional District of Central Okanagan says longtime chief Wayne Carson has requested a leave of absence but Carson disagrees with

that description of the situation. “The word ‘requested’ wasn’t mine. I did not request a leave,” he said. Carson, who has been chief for 19 years, was suspended by the regional district for three days in June. The details for the suspension have never been

leadership, training and mentoring for those dedicated paid-on-call fire department members who are committed to serving their community.” Wildeman says senior officers with the department suggested that a retired professional chief be considered for this temporary role to ensure community safety and management. RDCO has stated that any questions about Carson are confidential

because they deal with personnel matters. A deputy chief and training officer resigned after Carson was suspended. The president of the North Westside Ratepayers Association is not concerned about the situation at the fire department. “We have to have trust in our new fire services manager,” said Diane Baldwin. “They (RDCO) have come in and made some changes.”

A summer tradition is guaranteed to provide fun in the sun once again.

Amnesty leads to 80 firearms being collected richard rolke Morning Star Staff

There was nothing unusual as Vernon residents turned in unwanted weapons. The RCMP report that 80 firearms were received during June’s amnesty. “There was nothing extraordinary,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. The list included 17 shotguns, 50 rifles, 10 handguns and three pellet guns.

“A lot of them are guns family members don’t want anymore,” said Molendyk. All of the weapons, including a Second World War military knife, will be destroyed. Provincewide, the June amnesty program collected 1,801 firearms, 155 other weapons and about 30,700 rounds of ammunition. Among the more interesting items were a machine gun in Kelowna and bayonets

from the 1800s in Ridge Meadows. There was also a six-foot-long military missile which had been kept by an individual as a souvenir from a tour of duty overseas. Molendyk believes the local amnesty was a success. “It gives the average citizen an opportunity to turn them in instead of them laying around and possibly being stolen and falling into the wrong hands,” he said.

City considering options for longboarding safety richard rolke Morning Star Staff

The City of Vernon is considering ways to put the brakes on longboarders. After receiving complaints about longboarders whizzing down roads in the Rise development, council has instructed staff to consider the operation of such devices on right-of-way, including possibly enforcing helmets and demanding they be licensed. “We don’t want to see young people injured or killed,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky. “None of us wants to see a traumatic event for the motorist involved.

These events are lifechanging.” Support also comes from Coun. Brian Quiring. “I’d like to see something done,” he said. City staff enforces bylaws restricting longboard use on right-ofways, but it has proven to be ineffective at times. “By the time they (bylaw officers) get there, the people are gone,” said Patti Bridal, corporate services manager. While he supports investigating further legislation, Sawatzky isn’t convinced the city is the only partner that should be involved in

ensuring the safety of longboarders.

“In February, the City of Vernon reorganized its fire services under one chief and consequently, the OKLVFDA no longer had a role to operate,” said Heuman. “Over the years, the Landing firefighters have been a strong presence at the regatta, with their famous pancake breakfast and concession. Sadly, this is the last regatta that the OKLVFDA will be participating in.” Residents are encouraged to attend the pancake breakfast from 9 to 11 a.m. “People’s attendance will boost the morale of the volunteer firemen for their past contributions,” said Heuman. “The firefighters will be out in force to speak of old times and share a display of memorabilia.”

A tour through history

en years ago on Aug. 16, one the worst natural disasters to hit the Okanagan struck with a simple bolt of lightning. No one will ever forget the Okanagan Mountain Park fire that burned more than 25,000 hectares of forest, park land and 239 homes on the southern edges of Kelowna. I certainly didn’t forget as I biked across the Myra Canyon trestles riding part of the Kettle Valley Railway over the weekend. As one of more than 800 participants on the Okanagan Trestle Tour that rode 80 kilometres Kristin Froneman from Myra Station in Kelowna to Penticton, the charred trees, along with the regrowth, took away part of the pain building in my posterior. (Note to self: next time you hit a trail with gravel, sand and rock, bring a bike with dual suspension and fatter tires.) The tour started with all of us crossing the 12 or so rebuilt trestles high above the deep canyon floor. The journey reminded me of the death-defying feat of engineer Andrew McCulloch and his tireless railway workers, who from 1912 to 14 built the original wooden trestles that history lost when they perished in the fire. We were further reminded of that feat when we crossed the longest tressle, the West Fork Canyon Bridge. According to the Myra Canyon Trestle Restoration Society, the 220-metre crossing, original made of wood, was replaced with 12 steel through-plate girder spans on steel towers in the 1930s. The bridge’s wooden deck was burnt off in the fire and rebuilt along with the other trestles, re-opening that portion of the trail in 2008. Most of the trestles have held out since, except for No. 3, which was damaged in the spring as a result of a rock slide. That’s where things got interesting. As a line formed behind us, we had to scramble up the side of the mountain to hike our bikes high above the trestle on a 1.8-kilome-

tre bypass. A haul for many with heavier bikes, the trail allowed me — the only time grateful to have a lighter “hybrid” bike — to take a closer look at the forest. Its green floor and blackened remains, as well as the expanse of the trestles and canyon below, literally took my breath away. The trudge uphill in the backcountry was worth it as we got back on our bikes passing Ruth Station –– with me yelling at my husband to take a look at one of the rock ovens built by the Italian stone masons who worked on the railway, as he sped past to approach our oasis at Bellevue Creek Bridge. Although the aid station had at that point run out of food, there was still some electrolyte drink to imbibe before we set off again. Like a steam engine running out of coal, we trudged up the two per cent grade to Chute Lake, my legs labouring as my too-skinny tires sank in the silty quicksand. Chute Lake was another oasis, as we tucked into the energy bars and delicious cookies, courtesy of Spallumcheen’s own Om Naturals, laid out for us. The resort there also offered those starving to purchase fries and ice cream. Off we went, fortified, grateful to travel down the 2.2 percent grade, past more historical rock ovens, and over just as many rocks, to the now closed off Adra Tunnel. The resulting bypass took us north again and then south along the ridge of the park – honestly one of the most beautiful views of Okanagan Lake you will ever see. Just past the oft. photographed Little Tunnel, and I might as well have been in the Tour de France, cruising past the Naramata Bench at thundering speeds to our destination at the Lakeside Penticton Resort — the journey over in just under six hours. Thank you to the Trans Canada Trail Foundation, Trails Society of B.C., Parks BC, and specifically the Myra Canyon Trestle Restoration Society who rebuilt and basically saved this incredible trail from the devastation of 10 years ago. The Okanagan Trestle Tour is supporting these organizations with its inaugural ride, and I for one will be willing and able to do it again, with a cushier mountain bike!

With images from Calgary and southern Alberta still fresh in people’s minds, the devastation that can be caused by raging creeks and rivers is obvious. It’s a scenario that residents of Ashton Creek are abundantly familiar, especially after last year when the creek, which the community is named after, went on the rampage. Residents were forced out of their homes and significant property damage was sustained. And, unfortunately, flooding could be repeated at any time given current conditions. Gravel has been allowed to plug the culvert pipe and branches and other debris could create blockages. Residents are also calling for dredging along Ashton Creek. Provincial officials, who are responsible for the environment and rural areas, are well aware of the potential risk in the community, but absolutely nothing has been done to be proactive and attempt to avoid flooding. Instead, there is all kinds of assistance for residents once high water washes in. “We need to demonstrate that it’s an issue and preventative work is more important than emergency work,” said Jackie Pearase, rural Enderby’s regional district director. But to make that case, Pearase is likely going to have to pay for an engineering study on the creek even though it is outside of her mandate. Once again, the provincial government is not fulfilling its responsibilities. Residents and Pearase met recently with Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo about the situation and he needs to take their message to Victoria. Now is the time for action not after the fact when flooding has occurred.

Thank you firefighters

ear Vernon firefighters, We live on Cameron Point, off of Eastside Road. July 14 was a incredible experience for many of us on this stretch of Okanagan Lake. Our local firefighters and helicopter pilots were very hard at work containing a fire at Ellison Provincial Park. We watched with our families huddled together on a deck, as police and firefighters smoothly escorted campers and trailers from Ellison Provincial Park. Some of our family members were coming home from Vernon and were stopped at Paddlewheel Park from proceeding up the south road to the campground and beyond. This of course allowed firefighters and exiting campers to leave the affected area. Police arrived on Delcliffe Road in a timely manner and communicated with residents of the progress of the fire. We all watched with amazement as the helicopters, water bomber planes and local fire trucks moved into the smoke-filled environment, performing in high winds and rainy conditions. We are so grateful, and thankful for your outstanding performance and for saving our homes and lives. Thank you very much from the Delcliffe and Cameron Point community, and all of the families that enjoy living in this beautiful forest environment. The Avery Family GeneTic modiFicATion This is in response to Rudy Bergen's letter to the editor July 7, titled technological gain. I have to go on record that I believe that some (not all) scientists who work with DNA encoding and decoding put too much faith in what is an inherently empirical process, and the world is the laboratory. I, for one, want the choice to participate in these studies. Back in 1972, Susumu Ohno coined the phrase "junk DNA," which is in more proper terms "nocoding DNA" (http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Noncoding_DNA). How much of an organism's DNA can be considered "junk" and what the overall consequences are of modifying these sequences of supposedly inconsequential DNA is debated by many scientists (http://www.sciencedaily.com/ releases/2013/05/130529121023. htm and http://www.livescience. com/31939-junk-dna-mysterysolved.html). Scientists and government establish a baseline of DNA modification which is considered "functionally equivalent," and if a modified product, through whatever

R #

means (i.e. gene splicing vegetable DNA with animal DNA) can be deemed "functionally equivalent" then no mention is deemed necessary. However, if the samples are equivalent, then why is the modified one better? If they are not equivalent, then I want to know, and decide with my dollars if I want the purported benefits of the modified product. Functional equivalence, by very definition, ignores any DNA considered "junk." I, for one, am not asking for the outright ban on GMO products (as some countries in the world already have done), but I do want to know if the product I am purchasing has GMO properties, or may have come into contact with GMO products (as crosspollination of plants will by its very design communicate product properties from one plant to another) and what those GMO properties are. If these GMOs are so wonderful, then tell me why, with details! Promote them and let me see, but do not hide them under the guise of "functionally equivalent" or it will be most obvious that the only

ones who benefit are the companies and corporations that created the item in question. daniel Bragg GreAT cAre Having just undergone knee replacement surgery, I was directed to the short-stay rehab unit at Carrington Seniors Residence operated by Interior Health for what I like to call some “fine tuning." What a warming experience that was. The staff of physiotherapists, nurses, rehab assistants occupational therapists and care aides provided exceptional service and went above and beyond to ensure your stay provided you with all of your rehab needs and daily comforts. There are 10 short-stay residents at one time and friendships are formed during the stay of up to eight weeks which adds to the pleasantries! Meals were superb to say the least. For breakfast, the short-stay residents eat in a dining room on their floor and a staff members serves up breakfast and you have your choice of oatmeal, cereal,

eggs, toast, fruit, juice and coffee. For lunch and dinner, you go down to the main dining room where the Carrington residents dine and you are served delicious food by warm and attentive staff. I cannot say enough about this facility and I heartily recommend it to anyone who has the opportunity to go there for rehab. I went with some apprehension and my mind made up to stay only one week, but after two days there, I soon changed it to two and if necessary, I would have stayed longer. Many thanks to all of the wonderful staff at short-stay and I certainly appreciated all that you did for me while a resident there. Beryl nerling downTown looks GreAT I would like to congratulate the City of Vernon, and the downtown merchants for transforming a once dreary and traffic-laden street into a splendid promenade that Vernonites can be duly proud of. I would also like to thank all of the construction workers, especially the flag people, for being so considerate, patient, and helpful to all pedestrians, but especially to

those of us using canes or walkers to get around while trying to safely navigate the melee of a bustling construction. Overall, I would say that it was a job well done. ron nichol

“There is not an appetite within the city to go down that road. It’s an extremely complicated issue,” said Mayor Howie Cyr In her letter, resident Susan Fleming says it would not be difficult to establish a production facility. “You are undoubtedly aware of the new rules and regulations the federal government is imposing regarding growing, buying and consuming cannabis,” said Fleming. “The new attitude towards the production could be the best news Enderby will ever hear. The revenue generated from this enterprise could be put to constructive use.” Fleming points out that something must be done to stimulate the community’s economy. C oun. E arl Shipmaker says there isn’t a concern over medicinal marijuana operations but they aren’t part of the city’s mandate. “The city is not in the practice of getting involved in any private enterprise,” he said. “It’s a private sector thing, not a civic thing.”

Random acts of kindness Morning Star Staff

Armstrong’s Rob Ellis wanted to make his 47th birthday a memorable one Wednesday. As part of celebrations, he decided to pursue 47 random acts of kindness and number three was dropping off several boxes of doughnuts for staff at the Vernon RCMP detachment. “I just want to thank you for what you do in our community” he said. Several of the staff took a few minutes to speak to Ellis and all he asked was they, “Just pay it forward today even to a bad guy today.” “He made it clear that he didn’t want anything

for his birthday he just likes to give,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “Rob said, ‘Just the look on people’s faces was worth the time.’ “I learned that he gives and volunteers a lot, not only in the North Okanagan but in other areas of the province as well.” Among the other recipients of Ellis’ acts of kindness was Vernon Jubilee Hospital. “Happy birthday Rob. Thank you for putting us on your list. I hope you are able to complete your dream. I am sure the gift you receive in return will be well worth it,” said Molendyk.

New Kal Park trail proposed Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

Back country enthusiasts are making tracks towards a new trail in Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. Professional trail builder Cameron Sorensen (also a member of the North Okanagan Cycling Society) is collecting regional support for a new multi-use trail in the Cougar Canyon area of the park. Called the Eight of Spades, the proposed 23-kilometre trail would loop in a figure eight between the lake and the canyon. It is projected to be built over the next three years at a cost of $185,000. Parking expansion is also in the works. “This trail would give our community the opportunity to see a section of the provincial park that would otherwise be inaccessible to the public, taking in the incredible views, the splendor of Cougar Canyon and the majestic feel of Kalamalka

Lake,” said Sorensen in a presentation seeking Coldstream council’s support Monday. But with the canyon being an ecological reserve, there are some concerns about disturbance to wildlife. “I’d like to see them get through some of the environmental hurdles first,” said Coun. Richard Enns of a planned ecological study. With the exception of Councillors Enns, Maria Besso and Gyula Kiss, Coldstream agreed to send a letter of support for the trail. “This is a wilderness area and this is almost like using it for commercial purposes,” said Kiss. Coun. Doug Dirk refuted Kiss’ claims. “This is not a wilderness area. It’s crawling with people. It’s well used.”

Coldstream is dousing the idea of allowing artists to sell their wares at Kal Beach. Greater Vernon Parks recently approved an Artisan Vendor pilot program at Polson Park and Kin Beach, but it won’t be making its way onto the sands of Kal Beach. With the exception of Maria Besso Councillors Maria Besso and Pat Cochrane, Coldstream is against the program at Kal. “What’s being proposed here is not wholesale Mexico,” said Besso, urging her colleagues to reconsider. Emergency prompts protocol review Sunday’s cliff jumping incident has spurred concern over access for emergency response crews. Search and Rescue crews launched a boat at the Kalavista boat launch Sunday to assist an injured cliff jumper. But being one of the busiest Richard Enns launches in the area, congestion quickly increased at the launch and adjacent Kalavista Road. “It seems emergency services chose the wrong boat launch to use – the busiest boat launch on one

of the busiest weekends,” said Coun. Richard Enns. Mayor Jim Garlick suggests emergency services perform a practice (such as those which take place in Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park) and determine the best location to launch at. Coun. Maria Besso suggests Coldstream help the various emergency response groups examine their protocol. But Coun. Gyula Kiss notes: “This type of thing doesn’t happen very often – maybe once a year.” Mechanic shop complete Coldstream managed to hammer out its newest project on time and under budget. Construction is complete and the district’s new mechanic shop is now in operation. The shop was budgeted at $1.4 million but the actual cost came to just over $1.2 million. “I’m happy that we came in under budget,” said Coun. Maria Besso. “But I’m a little disturbed.” Along with architectural costs, Besso questions why a bioswale was not constructed to mitigate the impact of storm water on the creek. But additional drainage works were completed to reduce the need for a bioswale. “All the storm water goes through this storm sector which filters out the oil, grease and debris,” said Michael Baker, director of engineering, adding that biodegradable detergents will also be used in the outside car bay. Some of the remaining funds from the project will be used to cover last-minute costs as well as installing a perimeter fence around the public works yard.

Project heats up in Lumby

Come Join Us…

richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Lumby is hoping to move towards economic and financial sustainability. Council has instructed staff to search for grant funding for a biomass heating project. “There’s a misconception about what it is,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. “Some people think we will be burning 6,000 trees to heat one building but one B train of dried chips will heat all of our public buildings in a month.” Kevin Acton Beyond reducing the operating cost of public facilities, there is the hope that the system could eventually be expanded to businesses, making them more viable. “The wood fiber we will burn is local and that money also stays in town,” said Acton of the economic benefits. Lumby’s biomass system will be similar to the one currently underway in Enderby, which fuels that community’s public works building, sewer plant and pool. In Lumby, wood could be used to heat the public works building, the arena, the curling club, the municipal office, the pool and the community centre. These buildings currently use $59,000 a year in natural gas. The biomass plant would result in combined savings on fuel and carbon offsets of $33,700. It could cost about $539,000 to construct a biomass energy project in Lumby and that’s why the provincial and federal governments are being approached for help. “It’s not viable without government grants,” said Acton. Acton would like to see the project functional by the summer of 2014.

Access to timber is being expanded in the Enderby area. The provincial government is offering a new woodlot licence about 20 kilometres north of Enderby. It covers 1,186 hectares with an allowable annual cut of 3,000 cubic metres. “Woodlot operators often model excellent forest stewardship, and because they are often locally owned and operated, they support community jobs,” said Greg Kyllo, Shuswap MLA. Applications for the licence must be submitted by Sept. 25. “By adding new woodlots we are diversifying B.C.’s forest sector and encouraging economic growth across the province,” said Steve Thomson, forests minister.

After dropping the series opener, the Kamloops Venom are right back in the mix of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League finals. The host Venom rebounded with a 9-7 win over the Vernon Source For Sports Tigers in Game 2 of the best-of-five set Tuesday night at a sauna-like Memorial Arena. Vernon had built a 2-0 lead on a pair of goals by Craig Bigsby, but faltered in the second frame as they were held scoreless while the Venom racked up five snipes. “We came out flying, had a great first period. 2-0, no disappointments,” said Tigers’ head coach Myles Brumpton. “The second period, it was a penalty-fest and they capitalized. That was the game right there.” Riley Peterson, with a pair, Trent Maunder, Brody Jorgensen and Jerome Thorne tallied to give Kamloops a 5-2 lead heading into the final period. Vernon outscored the Venom 5-4 down the stretch, including a late goal with netminder Joel Fruncillo pulled for an extra attacker, but they couldn’t close the gap. Sean Connors, Daryl Landels, Jordan Orr, Mason Limb and Nolan Frame counted singles for the Cats in period three. Thorne (2), Rob Peterson and Riley Peterson countered for Kamloops. “We knew Kamloops would not be an easy series,” said Brumpton.

“They’re a hard-working, determined team and last night that prevailed for them. “We worked very hard on our scoring opportunities, but when we had those opportunities we just didn’t bury the ball.” Fruncillo finished with 28 saves for Vernon, while Dalan Etter had 36 stops in the win. Aside from the penalty problems in the second period, Brumpton said the Tigers matched up well with the Venom in Game 2. He doesn’t plan on changing the systems that have brought Vernon to this point. “We’ve had a pretty solid gameplan throughout playoffs and we’re going to stick with it,” he said. “We’ll make minor adjustments as the game goes along like we always do.” Game 3 went Thursday night at Kal Tire Place, with Game 4 set for Sunday night (5:30) at Kamloops Memorial Arena. If necessary, Game 5 would go Tuesday (7:30) in Vernon. Meanwhile, the Kelowna Raiders shaded the host Kamloops Rattlers 12-10 in Game 1 of the Shaw Cup final Wednesday night at Memorial Arena. Vic Wiens led Kelowna with 3+1, while Jordan Innes and Matt Gorges each pocketed a pair of goals. Riley Donahue pocketed 3+4 for Kamloops. Game 2 of the Okanagan Senior C men’s championships goes tonight in Kelowna, with Game 3, if necessary, Sunday in Kamloops.

Steckly stellar in Saskatoon for second NASCAR win NASCAR

Scott Steckly has experienced quite the turnaround in the past week on the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1. Four nights after picking up his first series win of the season at the A&W Cruisin the Dub 300 Saturday in Vernon, the Milverton, Ont. driver held off a hard-charging Mark Dilley to claim the Velocity Prairie Thunder 250 Wednesday at Auto Clearing Motor Speedway in Saskatoon. The win vaulted Steckly into second place in the series standings at 224 points behind D.J. Kennington (229). Steckly began the year with a pair of finishes outside the top 20, but has since piloted his No. 22 Canadian Tire Dodge to a pair of wins and two second-place finishes. Wednesday was his 13th series career win which ranks

third all-time behind Kennington with 18 and Andrew Ranger’s 17. “We decided we were going to really dig down and just win as many races as we can,” Steckly said. “We definitely could have won those first two races. So, it’s not performance. Our cars are fast every week. That’s just part of it. Hopefully, that was our bad luck for the year.” Steckly, a two-time series champion, was thrilled to win both western races this year. “It’s amazing to be able to win two races in a row like this out west,” he said. “Not many people get to do that in their career.” Pole sitter J.R. Fitzpatrick set a blistering pace early, but he was not able to hold off Steckly after a spirited battle for the lead that lasted for several laps. Steckly took control

after Dilley made contact with Fitzpatrick on Lap 226, sending Fitzpatrick spinning out of contention for his first oval-track win since July 2007. Dilley challenged for the lead in the closing laps, but could not pry the lead from Steckly. “We got up beside him there once,” he said. “It’s hard to do. You can get up beside, but you can’t get a run off without wrecking. So, we got second two years in a row here. Maybe next year we can win.” Jason Hathaway, runner-up at the Dub 300, bounced back from a spin to finish third. Kennington and Trevor Seibert finished fourth and fifth, respectively. Noel Dowler, Fitzpatrick, Ron Beauchamp Jr., Cameron Hayley and James Van Domselaar completed the top 10.

Timbermen trim Monashee Crowe second at Gallagher’s

Morning Star Staff

North Enderby Timber and Monashee Surveying renewed their heated rivalry Wednesday night with the Timber posting a 4-0 victory at Marshall Field #2. Yellow cards flowed earlier and often as both teams battled hard all night with referee Pete Solymosi keeping things in order. Harminder Sandhu sent in “simplyfrugal.ca” Man of the Match Evan Frederick, who outworked a Monashee defender to the ball and calmly placed it over newbie keeper Travis Baerg at 15 minutes. North Enderby (9-3-1) kept up the pressure when Tyler Loose ran through the midfield and fed Frederick, whose shot was stopped, but Loose tapped in the rebound. Frederick picked up his second of the night after Andy Stein sent Brent Poulsen in on a breakaway. Poulsen was stopped on a diving save by Baerg, but Frederick knocked in the rebound. The only goal in the second half saw Poulsen capitalize on a miscue header from the Monashee defence and bury a breakaway in the 70th minute. You ng s t e r Gre g Poggemoeller was a standout on the second-place NET back line, snubbing the pesky Alberto Lopez on numerous chances. Danny Stein picked up his second shutout in a row. Monashee is 5-6-1. Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels FC ambushed the Salmon Arm Outlaws 8-0 at Marshall #5 to stay two points behind NET. Mo Singogo (Sleeman’s Man of the Match) and Albert Goldnik each scored twice for the Humpbacks (8-4-2). Ben Osborne and Goldnik scored the highlight goals of the night, both 18-yard scorchers to the top right corner. Fabrice Fanfani and Enzo Paal, both on penalty kicks, and Keenan Jespersen, rounded out the Camels’ attack. Keeper Ryan Campbell relied on Tim Hortons double-

The Outlaws dropped to 0-12. Turn-Key Controls made the trip to Revelstoke with 12 men, lost forward Conan Ackert to an injury in the game’s opening minutes, but managed to come home with three points in a 2-1 win over the Stallions. The two squads played a highly physical and scoreless first half that saw plenty of hard tackles. Defender Carson Haywood-Farmer made the Total Restoration Save of the Game, making a right toe stop on the goal line for keeper Jeremy Kler.

The second half saw TurnKey come out and play a little more possession, and were rewarded when Nolan’s Pharmasave Man of the Match Andrew Pool placed a worldclass strike from 25 yards that dipped under the crossbar and behind the keeper for the lead. Pool added to the lead shortly after, this time from 30 yards, on a similar strike that found the keeper off his line. Revelstoke responded with 10 minutes remaining on a strong counterattack, but were unable to generate an equalizer as the 8-4-1 Turn-Key defence kept the attack to the outside.

Peters Tirecraft/Concept Physio brushed back the Vernon Riot FC 3-2 at Marshall #4. The Riot went up 1-0 from the penalty spot on a hand ball call in the 18. Brock Reim deked through the defence and buried one to level the score, but the Riot came back and squeaked one inside the post to go up 2-1. Andrew Vanderham fired a laser late in the first half to tie it at 2-2, and Riley Strother buried a loose ball late in the second half after Justin Mitchell’s blast was blocked on a diving save.

Flyers third in provincial A division Morning Star Staff

The Kal Sports Bar Flyers finished with a tie and two losses in their A division debut at the B.C. Ball Hockey Championships last weekend in Vernon. The Flyers, coached by Jim Armstrong, opened with a 6-1 loss to the Vancouver Falcons, who went on to win the tournament. The Kal crew rebounded with a pair of 3-3 draws against the Kamloops Blackjacks and Vancouver HC. They fell 9-5 to Vancouver HC in the semis. “It was a good experience for the guys,” said Armstrong. “This was their first time at the A division, and they did very well.” Armstrong said the Flyers’ tournament highlight was rallying from a 3-1 deficit with seven minutes to play to tie the Blackjacks. Former Prince George Cougar James Dobrowolski led the Flyers with three goals and two assists in the preliminary round. He sniped a hat trick in the semis. Corey Webb (2+2), ex-Vernon Viper Bryce Kakoske (1+3) and Ryan Caig (4A) each supplied four points in the four-team round-robin. Braden Armstrong and Jordan Vallance shared netminding duties. Daniel Lafortune recorded the OT winner as the Falcons grounded Vancouver HC 2-1 in the final. Meanwhile, Vernon is hosting men’s B and C provincials this weekend. The Vernon Kings open C division play against Burnaby Bombers #2 tonight (5:30) at Priest Valley Arena, while the Vernon Whalers take on the Bombers #1 in B bracket action, 7 p.m. at Kal Tire Place.

Fernandez secures second chance with Okanagan Sun the Okanagan Sun several weeks later did the Holy Cross High School grad discover the sobering facts. Sun athletic KELOWNA – When he suffered an injury to his left therapist Roy Gillespie diagnosed Fernandez with something ankle during a Midget all-star game in Vancouver in the much more severe than a sprain – a snapped Achilles tendon. Walking on the ankle without treatment for the betspring of 2012, J.T. Fernandez didn’t know just how serious ter part of two months had just made matters worse and, it was. Not until he arrived in Kelowna for workouts with according to at least one specialist, his future in football looked bleak, at best. “I really thought I was done football for good,” said Fernandez, 20. “I was told I needed surgery right as soon as I could get it.

I’m just going to keep battling.” The Sun first spotted Fernandez in Chilliwack in November 2011 while playing for the Cloverdale Midgets. Offensive coordinator Nat Nagy was there to scout quarterback Cam Bedore, but both Nagy and fellow Sun assistant Nathan Mollard also liked what they saw in Fernandez, both as a player and as a person. Even after the severity of the injury was revealed, the Sun supported Fernandez and did whatever they could to help nurse him back to health. Fernandez is doing all he can to return the favour. “The team took care of him and he’s come back this year and really impressed us,” said Mollard, the club’s defensive coordinator. “He’s very athletic, he’s intense and a very smart, coachable kid. He understands the game, picks up stuff quickly and is a really good leader.” If Fernandez continues to make progress, Mollard said he could conceivably be the club’s starting middle linebacker when the BCFC season kicks off next weekend. From Fernandez’s perspective, he’s grateful for the opportunity to continue playing the sport he loves. “I’d do anything for the Sun, they looked after me and made sure I had a chance to do this again,” he said. “I was treated like family even though I didn’t play a down of football. They took care of me here even though I didn’t play. I thought I was done, but now to be in this position, I’m very excited.” Fernandez and the Sun will open the regular season Saturday, July 27 at the Apple Bowl against the Chilliwack Huskers.

Special adoption fees for felines

News Morning Star Staff

The SPCA is holding a special promotion featuring half-price adult cat adoption fees until July 31. The program is response to the overwhelming number of felines in care at its shelters. Currently, there are 743 adult cats being cared for at SPCA facilities across the province. “The B.C. SPCA takes in more than 15,000 homeless felines each year and right now our shel-

ters are filled to capacity,” said Bob Busch, general manager of operations. “We always see an influx of animals at our shelters during the summer season and this year is no exception. We hope this special promotion will be an incentive for people who have thought through their decision to adopt a cat and are just waiting for the right time.” The SPCA’s average cost to care for a cat during

its stay is $784, higher than the actual adoption fee. “Our costs include vaccinations, spaying or neutering, an identification tattoo, preventative treatment for internal and external parasites, any medical care or rehabilitation required, daily welfare monitoring, sheltering and feeding,” said Busch. For more details on the cat adoption promotion, visit the Vernon SPCA or go to spca.bc.ca/ halfpricelove.

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities

Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities. Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently. Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in. Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats. Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help. Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

remier Christy Clark didn’t win a seat in time to join her 48 fellow B.C. Liberal MLAs in the legislature for the summer session she ordered up. By the time the byelection in Westside-Kelowna is certified by Elections B.C., Clark will be off to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. to meet with her fellow premiers in what is now loftily called the Council of the Federation. These gatherings used to be called First Ministers’ Conferences, and there was a set ritual, largely designed for the consumption of network television. Provincial premiers Tom Fletcher ganged up on the prime minister to demand federal “funding” for every conceivable need, just as municipal leaders get together each year to present their demands to the B.C. government. Prime Minister Stephen Harper ended the show, declining to play the role of villain in this bit of political summer stock theatre, and it’s unlikely that any future national leader would reverse this prudent decision. The result, at least among western premiers, has been a quieter, more pragmatic effort to work together, rather than clumsy attempts to play a shell game with taxpayers’ pockets. The public got tired of this routine some time ago. I don’t need a poll to tell me this is one of the reasons for the decline in voter participation and engagement in issues. Today, politicians frequently remind themselves out loud that there is “only one taxpayer” supporting the squabbling layers of this over-governed country. And yet, the same mistake keeps being made over and over by opposition politicians, and dutifully reported by the news media. The notion that all problems can and should be solved by “more government funding” is now so engrained in our education system that it seems inescapable. One of the NDP’s big “gotcha” items last week

B.C. Views

was the failure of the B.C. government to buy the latest sonar technology to locate and recover the bodies of people who have drowned in one of our thousands of lakes and rivers. As with the health-care system, as soon as something is invented, some assume a right to it, regardless of cost. Another big opposition target was the province’s failure to buy up remote properties in the Kootenays that have been discovered to be at high risk of further landslides such as the one that swept through a year ago. The question of limits for protecting people who choose to build homes in risky locations seldom comes up in our political-media theatre. The media’s key ingredients are sympathetic victims to fit their narrative that all corporations and governments are greedy, stingy, callous and incompetent in everything they do. What the opposition has dubbed “Christy Clark’s wheelchair tax” is another case in point. A Fraser Health Authority official patiently explained what was really going on here. An average $35 monthly rent for wheelchairs is charged at the majority of care facilities, which are contracted by the health authority. Operators charge as they see fit for maintenance, disinfection and replacement of this equipment, for patients who don’t own their own chairs. In September, a $25 fee is to be extended to the few facilities still directly run by Fraser Health, which have aging equipment and no fees. In all facilities, the fee is waived for those who can’t afford it. It would be useful for our politicians to frankly discuss the trend towards contracted health services, and the role of user fees in forcing people to take more responsibility for maintaining their own health. But that is not what happens. The narrative of dumping frail, impoverished seniors from their wheelchairs has no relationship to reality, but it’s how post-modern political theatre is done.

feet) per year on average and we run the risk of “mining” it if we use more water than can be replenished. The need to be WaterWise becomes clear when we consider: n There is less fresh water available in the Okanagan than almost anywhere in Canada. n Okanagan residents use 675 litres of water per day on average, more than twice the average Canadian. n Residential outdoor water use accounts for 24 per cent of all water used in the

Okanagan (used mostly on lawns) and is the second largest use of water after agriculture. The Okanagan Basin Water Board, its Okanagan WaterWise program and local partners are encouraging residents to “Make Water Work.” By being efficient and effective

with the water we use, we get the most from it and help ensure enough for farmers, fish and others that depend on a healthy supply. After all, our population is expected to increase 45 per cent by 2036 to more than 260,000 people. Over the summer,

Okanagan WaterWise is working with numerous partners to help you Make Water Work, offering easy but meaningful ways to conserve water. We’ll be covering lawn care, landscaping and gardening, and we’ll be sharing local stories on the importance of conserving our precious resource. Here are some tips to get you started: n Put water on the night shift. Water between dusk and dawn to prevent evaporation. n Don’t mow, let it grow. Longer grass slows evaporation.

n Water plants, not pavement. Save time, effort and money. n Leave grass clippings as mulch. This helps feed your lawn and retain moisture. n Collect and use rainwater for container plants, flower beds and food gardens.

mong the working cowboys of B.C., the pinnacle of success is the position of cow boss of the Douglas Lake Cattle Ranch, the largest ranch in Canada. Only a handful of men have held that position in the 130 years the ranch has been in existence. Needless to say, the man who holds that job has to be among the best of his profession. This distinction goes back to the first cow boss at the Douglas Lake Ranch. When J.B. Greaves was setting up the Douglas Lake Cattle Ranch in the early 1880s, he realized he needed Ken Mather a top-notch cow boss to tend the cattle while he looked after the business end of things. He was fortunate to hire Joe Payne, an American with rich and varied experience in handling cattle. Payne proved to be a natural at handling cattle and men. Under his management, the Douglas Lake herd thrived and the cowboys who worked for him developed into an efficient crew. The native cowboys worked particularly well with Payne, who had the patience to show them the preferred methods of handling cattle. He conscientiously divided his huge herd into small groups and moved them carefully throughout the year to avoid overgrazing of the precious bunchgrass. His techniques for getting cattle out of the bush, driving, sorting and holding cattle for market and weaning became standard practice for decades to come. Payne was also an excellent veterinarian and, under his care, few cattle were lost in calving or to sickness. Payne remained as cow boss for about 10 years. In the 1890s, he left the Douglas Lake Ranch and went to work as a cattle buyer for Malcolm McInnes, a former Nicola Valley cattleman, who, in partnership with Pat Burns, was supplying huge amounts of beef to the mining centres of the Kootenays.

Ranch Tales

In 1897, when the Klondike gold rush started, Payne rounded up cattle from the B.C. Interior for Burns and Company and assembled them at the Gang Ranch. From there, they were driven to Ashcroft and shipped by rail to the coast and by barge up to Skagway. Payne and his cowboys then drove the cattle over the White Pass and overland 40 miles to Lake Bennett. There, the cattle were loaded on scows to be shipped across Lake Bennett, then through a series of lakes and rivers to the Yukon River where they travelled an additional 200 miles to Dawson. The cattle sold at Dawson for a $1 a pound or $800 to $1,000 per head alive. This was the first of a succession of cattle drives that Burns and Company organized to the Klondike from the B.C. Interior. In 1911, Burns sent Payne to Mexico to check out land for possible purchase to add to Burns’s expanding empire. This was not a simple mission. Payne had to remain inconspicuous and not reveal that the millionaire Burns was behind the purchase. As well, the political situation in Mexico was far from stable, with revolutionaries like Pancho Villa leading the opposition to the government. Never the most respectable-looking person at the best of times, Payne was arrested by the Mexican authorities and put in jail. It was some time before Burns and Company, working with the Canadian government, could convince the Mexican authorities that Payne’s activities were legitimate. During the First World War, Payne retired from the cattle business and went into partnership with Fred Bradley to operate the Brunswick Billiard Parlour on Victoria Street in Kamloops. But his restless nature and ill health soon prompted him to accept an offer from Dr. Vereerbrughen of Kamloops to go ranching in Argentina. From Argentina he relocated to Brazil and finally, in 1924, he moved to California. He died there two years later, mourned by all the old-time cowboys who knew him as one of the best. Ken Mather is a Spallumcheen-based author.

Other changes in the federal cabinet shuffle see Peter MacKay become justice minister and attorney general and Rob Nicholson become defence minister – the two swapped jobs.

Lisa Raitt is now transportation minister, while former revenue minister Gail Shea is back in her old role as fisheries minister. Bernard Valcourt keeps the aboriginal affairs portfolio.

Zyan Panagopoulos , as the janitor, with Andreea Bianchi (left) and Angela Case, as the “girls from the future”, star in the short film Last Man Mopping, a top 24 finalist in the 24 Hour Film Race. Vernon’s Michael Benedek (below) works at home editing the film to meet the deadline. week before countdown. With an 11-person team in place, including camera operator/ director of photography Kelsey Thompson of Vernon, the group also secured a location when Summerland’s Glenfir Academy, a school built in 1995 that is now closed, became available. The real work began at 7 p.m. May 17 when all teams were given their assignments. The project now had to be written, filmed, edited by 6:59 p.m. the next day. “We were sent an e-mail with the information including the theme,” said Case. “We were literally sitting around the computer in anticipation.” The story had to revolve around time travel, using an egg as a prop and the crumpling of a piece of paper as an action. “The whole team came up with the idea for the script. It came quickly; writing it took about three hours,” said Case. By 10 p.m., the crew began filming in Summerland. Using a state-of-the art Sony FS700 HD camera, everything created had to be original. “Nothing could be copied. We signed off on all the art and nothing could be filmed or produced

beforehand,” said Case. Last Man Mopping is best described as a sci-fi head trip involving a janitor (Kelowna’s Zyan Panagopoulos, who Vernon audiences may remember for his Okanagan Zone Drama Festival winning turn in the 2011 play Rabbit Hole at Powerhouse Theatre), who upon performing his mopping duties in a school hallway, suddenly enters a strange sort of portal that goes through time and space. In this strange new land, he encounters two beautiful alien life forms, who have a special task for him. Playing the girls from the future

Okanagan-made short makes it to the finals in the 24 Hour Film Race

With The Amazing Race Canada making its televised premiere Monday on the shores of Okanagan Lake, locals can also tune into another amazing race. And this one involves an allOkanagan cast and crew. Kelowna’s Edge Digital Media has just been short-listed as a contender for best film in the 24 Hour Film Race, based out of New York City. Their film, a four-minute short entitled Last Man Mopping, was entered in the international competition, which saw approximately 200 filmmakers from around the world challenged to create a short film in, you guessed it, 24 hours. “The event organizers give you a theme, a prop and an action and you have to write, shoot and edit a film in 24 hours,” said Vernon’s Angela Case, Last Man Mopping producer, who also stars in the film. After hearing about the race, Case, a former Kokanee beer “Glacier Girl,” who is now an on-camera host on the digital Thompson-Okanagan tourist site, RTOWN Communications, set out to recruit a number of professionals she knows though the local film industry to enter. “Everyone was busy with work and their own businesses and a week before the race, Angela asked if I wanted to do this,” said Michael Benedek, the Vernon-based franchise owner of RTOWN. The former forestry firefighter and avid outdoorsman would be responsible for the final edit on the film. Case also recruited Kelowna filmmaker Ryan Tebbutt, owner/ operator of Edge Digital Media, to direct, and Kelowna’s Chelsea McEvoy, an independent filmmaker, as assistant director and gaffer. Between them, they started racing to get everything in order a

are Case and West Kelowna’s Andreea Bianchi, whose wild hair, makeup and futuristic, fun wardrobe were all donated by Okanagan businesspeople such as Alyssa Myers of AMP Hairstyling, Kristeen Lyseng, SJB makeup artist Sheleah Joy Bradley, and Vernon’s 104 Grey Clothing and Accessories. The comedic elements, especially in how the filmmakers used the egg prop, are best left to those who look up the film. Let’s just say, it doesn’t look that yummy by the end. After filming into the wee hours of the morning (thanks to Glenfir’s Mary Taylor for allowing the crew to work until 4 a.m.), the raw

footage was uploaded from the camera into a hard drive and sent to Benedek to edit. Meanwhile, Armstrong’s Daniel Casson set out to create the film score and sound effects. “It got here at 7 a.m. and I edited throughout the day while Ryan and Angela managed to get some sleep,” said Benedek, who whittled the footage down to just three minutes and 30 seconds, plus 30 minutes of credits, to make the four-minute maximum length. However, reality started blurring with fiction when Benedek encountered a problem exporting the finished film to New York. “I was thinking, all this work for nothing, we just have to get it out,” said Case. Luckily, the file finally exported at 6:56 p.m. with three minutes to spare, and the group received confirmation the next day that their film did actually arrive. Then it was a waiting game to hear who the 24 film finalists were. “It was supposed to be June 18 and we were told they were having a hard time picking, so we had to wait longer as they narrowed it down from 100 to 24,” said Case. Coincidently, or not, that announcement came on June 24. “I happened to be looking on the website and I scrolled through the list. I didn’t see our name at first, so I went through it again and that’s when I saw Last Man Mopping,” said Benedek. The filmmakers have now been invited to New York City Aug. 17 for the awards gala and screening of the top films. The 24 Hour Film Race judging panel will be awarding various categories, including best overall film, acting, makeup, editing, story, etc. “Some of our crew is very excited to be going,” said Case, adding prizes include cash and film equipment. The Last Man Mopping team is also hoping for local support with an online vote for audience favourite on the 24 Hour Film Race website, www.filmracing.com/24/ films2013.htm. Deadline for votes is July 26. All the top 24 films are also available for viewing on the site.

Time to grow up, boys

Grown Ups 2

enny (Adam Sandler), Kurt (Chris Rock), Eric (Kevin James) and Marcus (David Spade) are back on the big screen, as four best friends Taylor and Howe who have grown up together. Now adults with families and responsibilities, at least for the most part, it seems that the four of them, each pushing 50, pine for the long lost days of their teenage shenanigans. While visiting the old swimming hole in an attempt to have Eric finally brave the 35-foot jump off the rock face, (something on his bucket list perhaps,) the four men are confronted and ridiculed by cocky college teens led by Taylor Lautner. The frat boys embarrass the men in front of the town’s youth and they

Kevin James, left, Chris Rock, David Spade and Adam Sandler are back as four friends who never want to grow up, in Grown Ups 2.

Reel Reviews

decide to show them how it was done, back in the day, by throwing an ‘80’s party. We say, “It’s for 13-yearold boys, specifically.” TAYLOR: Despite all the comedic talent, Grown Ups 2 is a cavalcade of toilet humour, objectifying women, and transparent attempts to be as cute as the first film. It’s not, by the way. HOWE: Maybe it’s not as cute as the first film, but if you want a funny movie, I found this tickling my funny bone. You can’t say it was only objectifying women, as with the first movie the women had their own little viewing pleasure with the guy from Saskatoon, this time

they had the aerobics instructor and the male car wash cheerleader team. TAYLOR: To paraphrase an earlier, funnier Sandler film: “What you have just made is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever seen. At no point in your rambling, incoherent efforts were you even close to anything that could be considered a plot. Everyone in the theatre is now dumber for having watched it. I award you but one solitary, pity point and may God have mercy on your soul.” HOWE: But you laughed! I think it will appeal to a wide range of audience, from 12 year olds and up, because

they can relate to some of the situations, some more serious than others: getting older, bullying and family life. One thing I did really like about it compared to comedies of late is the lack of swearing and kudos to Sandler for making a funny film without cursing. If you enjoyed the first one, then you will enjoy this one. TAYLOR: Yes I did laugh. A couple times. But I spent the first 20 minutes of the film getting the taste of deer pee out of my mouth. After that, I think the credits would have been funny. There are fleeting moments of comedy in this turkey, I wasn’t able to help myself at times. But on the whole, despite being in touch with my inner child, I can’t deny that this movie is just plain bad. Thing is, 13-year-old boys will think it’s awesome. So everybody get ready for Grown Ups 3: The Geriatric Pranksters. — Taylor gives Grown Ups 2 1 ogling out of 5. — Howe gives it 3 field goals out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Bega mambos to the ‘80s lou Bega: A Little Bit of ‘80’s

ou Bega – it’s been a while, baby. Bega, the Mambo King whose big hit Mambo No. 5 rode the airwaves 13 years ago is back with album no. 5. He invokes the refrain of his hit with the title of his latest, A Little Bit of ‘80’s. Might as well fire on all cylinders and cover all the bases, right? For those who weren’t Dean Gordon-Smith there, if every century had a hall of shame category for decades, then the ‘80’s would be at the top of the list for the 20th century. For those who were there, well, you can listen and reminisce to scheisse like this – or not. The German-born Bega is an unusual figure.

stReet soUnds

The vocalist casts himself as a Latin-type salsa singer with a vague Caribbean character. He’s more an entertainer than a musician and his horn-driven, tropical mambo hybrid music is shoe horned into some forgettable ‘80’s hits like Smooth Operator, Physical, and Red Red Wine. It’s weird, funny and sometimes awkward hearing Bega’s baritone step carefully through these goofy tracks, especially the Olivia Newton-John hit, Physical. As for Red Red Wine, why resurrect that yet again? There should be a law... Bega can’t get jiggy with the weirdness that is Come On Eileen; he doesn’t get the whackiness that made the song interesting. Likewise with Karma Chameleon. He hits pay dirt on Sunshine Reggae and Vamos A La Playa, where his band’s slickness and the overall karaoke-like vibe captures the ambiance of a three-star Mexican resort. But in the words of another ‘80’s hit (not included here), “That ain’t workin...”

Exhibition commemorates 10th anniversary of Okanagan fire

This summer marks the 10-year anniversary of the devastating Okanagan Mountain Forest Fire. To observe the occasion, the Lake Country Art Gallery is presenting its sixth exhibition this year, From the Soot and Ashes, by artists Zev Tifenbach and Suze

Woolf. “As a threat we continually deal with, there’s a ubiquitous alertness to the danger of forest fires,” said gallery manager Petrina McNeill. “The power of fire, in this region in particular, is unmistakable.” Curator Katie Brennan conceived of

the exhibition over a year ago. “From the Soot and Ashes is quite a contentious exhibit,” she said. “While some may interpret the art to malign the natural disaster, others may see beauty or elements of hope and honour in Tifenbach’s and Woolf ’s work.” Pointing to the relationship between natural disasters, religiosity and the suburban reclamation of burnt land, Tifenbach’s photographs document the state of the area affected by the 2003 fires four years after the fact. Tifenbach photographed both homes rebuilt and the new suburban sprawl amongst the landscapes of charred logs and barren hillsides. In turn, Woolf ’s highly realistic watercolours of burnt trees and bark suggest a battered and fragile ecosystem. “These hyper-realistic tree-shaped paintings are littered about the gallery to evoke feelings of being amidst a charred forest,” said Brennan. From the Soot and Ashes opens at the gallery, 10356A Bottom Wood Lake Rd, Wednesday at 6 p.m. Tifenbach and Woolf will speak July 27 at 3 p.m. The show continues to Aug. 30. Other events are also scheduled. Contact the gallery at (250) 766-1299, lakecountryartgallery.ca.

Heaven Can Wait sails again The Okanagan Quality Life Society benefits from the Vernon Yacht Club’s fundraiser Editor’s note: The following is from the Vernon Yacht Club and the Okanagan Quality Life Society. It was a gala party to start the summer season as the Vernon Yacht Club and the Okanagan Quality Life Society joined up to kick off the Heaven Can Wait II replacement pontoon boat fundraising initiative. More than 100 VYC and OQLS members and friends came out June 21 to generously support the program to purchase a new pontoon boat to replace the aging Heaven Can Wait, which has served so faithfully since 1992. An absolutely outstanding success, the event raised close to $8,000. Notably, the idea to have a fundraiser was spawned during the VYC Boat Show. Denise Dobie, who had purchased an evening of entertainment with the popular local band The Goods at the Kalamalka Rotary Dream Auction, heard of the OQLS initiative to purchase a new pontoon boat, so she spoke with OQLS vice-president Gerald Gustafson and VYC Commodore Mike Thomas and suggested a June 21 Summer Solstice fundraising dinner/dance and she would donate the band. A committee chaired by Gerald was quickly assembled and the rest, as they say, is history. Tickets for the event quickly sold out, and the Vernon and area community responded in fine fashion to requests by donating more than 85 silent auction items. An excellent dinner was catered by Corrine and Carol in the VYC kitchen with Jay and Chanel keeping everyone happy at the bar. Bob and Ken carved up and served the roast beef. Generously, the attendees responded to MC Mike Thomas’ prompting to visit the silent auction tables, and/or give a direct donation. The auction items fetched 75 per cent of their value (60 per cent is considered a success) and more than $3,000 was donated directly. Add in a sharethe-funds’ draw of $456 and the Summer

The Okanagan Quality Life Society pontoon boat, Heaven Can Wait, heads out on Okanagan Lake. Solstice fundraiser was a huge success. Significantly, club members have supported the OQLS Heaven Can Wait program by providing moorage free of charge and use of their facilities since 1994. The OQLS was formed in 1992 to purchase a 24-foot pontoon boat to take seniors confined to long-term residences and disabled members of the Vernon and area community on therapeutic boat rides on Okanagan Lake. The program has proved to be a wonderful success providing so much on water joy to the residents. The VYC and OQLS would like to thank all of the generous support received during this fundraiser event. Our goal of

raising $40,000 to have Heaven Can Wait II in the water ready for the 2014 season has been given a tremendous send-off. Loads of thanks go to Gerald and his committee for making this a “fun” event, to Denise Dobie for donating the band and to the Vernon and area business community for their many generous donations of items for the silent auction. If anyone is interested in knowing more about the OQLS program or has an interest in donating to this worthwhile cause (charitable receipts provided), please contact Ron Heuman, OQLS president at 250-558-1063 or the VYC office at 250-545-5518.

Protecting the beach house

ear Annie: My friend “Don” has spent a few days with me at the family beach house the past three summers in a row. The second year, he hinted about going again and was very pleased when I asked him back. But then he started referring to “his room” at the beach house and making regular comments about “next year” in a way that assumed it was his regular vacation spot. I thought he was being a little presumptuous, but didn’t address it. Last week, I told Don that I wanted someone else to accom-

Now, I’m not sure I want him to come with me ever again. It’s awkward. Any suggestions? — Annoyed Dear Annoyed: You need to be more honest and direct with Don, although you don’t have to be impolite. Simply say, “It’s been great having

Maybe I can have you join me again sometime in the future.” If he becomes angry or upset, you don’t need to reply in kind. Simply repeat that you are sorry you can’t have him join you. “Sometime in the future” could be very distant indeed. Dear Annie: I have been married to “Molly” for 11 years. We have three wonderful children. Both of us have professional careers and make a good living. We are fortunate to have a nice lifestyle. The problem: Our sex life is on life support.

Rev. 21:2: “John saw the holy city, new (kainos: not time, but form or quality) Jerusalem (which will have been in the earth for over 1000 years - the millenium - after Christ’s second coming) as a bride adorned for her husband”: a symbol of the elect (chosen by God). The “adornment” is the perfection of character and nature that Christ desires to see in those whom he will take to himself as his own. Isa. 61:10: “he (Christ) hath covered me with the robes, of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments.”

tired and has been to the doctor at least twice for her exhaustion. But she has the energy to go running five miles a day, just not enough energy for sex. I question her faithfulness and am not sure how long I can stay in this relationship if things don’t improve. We are currently in counseling, but there has been no change. I have spoken with Molly numerous times about our lack of intimacy, to no avail. I need your help. — Searching for Answers Dear Searching: If you’re asking whether Molly is running five miles to another man, we cannot answer that. It’s certainly possible. But it is equally possible that, with three children under the age of 11, she is tired of being “mom” and “wife” and wants to have something she does solely for herself. Women and their sex drives can be complicated. Has she asked her doctor about hormonal imbalances? Is her running interfering physiologically? Do you help her out with an equal effort in child care and housework? Do you make plans to take her out for a romantic evening now and then, without expectation of sex? Does she know that you appreciate her for more than what she

adds to the bedroom or the bank account? If you do these things and it doesn’t help, please ask your counselor to specifically address the lack of intimacy. Molly needs to explain herself. Dear Annie: “A Ring on It” asked who to invite to his commitment ceremony and was especially concerned about his father, who is unaware that he is gay. I had a gay commitment ceremony with my partner in 1995. My partner was out to everyone, so it was easy for him. I had compartmentalized my life as to who knew and didn’t know. I decided to invite family members, work associates and friends to celebrate my coming out, as well my commitment to another person. I expected all sorts of negative responses, but received total support. A girl in my office had that “no wonder I wouldn’t date her” moment. My boss got over his initial misgivings. Everyone sang, danced and toasted our event. My life has been made easier by admitting who I am. — P Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast. net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

Activity Horoscope By Bernice Bede OsOl

You could be unusually lucky in the year ahead concerning matters involving friends. Interestingly, the same isn’t likely to be true regarding endeavors with people whom you don’t know very well. CANCER (June 21-July 22) If there is an important objective you’ve been unable to achieve, it might be time to discard your current methods and try something different. Be imaginative.

how to play: Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: You must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box. 111210

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Should you meet someone who seems to have a few unappealing characteristics, strive to be open-minded. You could be misjudging a potentially good friend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) It could prove exceptionally helpful to discuss some potential plans with a person whom you respect and trust. He or she could offer some suggestions that you would otherwise have missed. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) If you have a special job that needs doing, be sure the person or firm you select has a good reputation or can supply you with references. If these aren’t forthcoming, keep looking. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You would be better off seeking business help from a social contact than you would be hiring someone. Check around to see who knows the kind of person you need. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might not fulfill the day’s expectations until the last minute, so don’t be too quick to give up on your endeavors. Better late than never. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) A friend who is quite different from your usual pals might come to you with

a unique proposal. Even if it sounds a big goofy at first, hear him or her out.

C HECK I T O UT AT B OOKLAND THE WHITE PRINCESS

Caught between loyalties, the mother of the Tudors must choose between the red rose and the white. Philippa Gregory presents the latest Cousins’ War novel, the remarkable story of Elizabeth of York, daughter of the White Queen. When Henry Tudor picks up the crown of England from the mud of Bosworth field, he knows he must marry the princess of the enemy house Elizabeth of York - to unify a country divided by war for nearly two decades. But his bride is still in love with his slain enemy, Richard III - and her mother and half of England dream of a missing heir, sent into the unknown by the White Queen. While the new monarchy can win power, it cannot win hearts in an England that plots for the triumphant return of the House of York.

Ethnic scandal resurfaces tom fletcher Black Press

Premier Christy Clark tried to put the pre-election ethnic outreach scandal behind her Tuesday, after the NDP raised new questions about an apparent effort to silence a former staff member’s complaints about B.C. Liberal Party work done by government staff. Clark told reporters Tuesday that emails from former B.C. Liberal staffer Brian Bonney were “totally inappropriate … and that’s why he no longer works for government.” The emails were included in 10,000 pages examined by a team of deputy ministers after the ethnic outreach program was revealed in a leaked memo in March. The plan to use government staff time to organize events in ethnic communities, then collect names for use in the B.C. Liberal election campaign, resulted in resignations of Clark’s deputy chief of staff and two other government employees, and Richmond Steveston MLA John Yap’s resigna-

tion as minister of state for multiculturalism. International Trade Minister Teresa Wat, who took over responsibility for multiculturalism after the May election, repeated for a second day in question period that the investigation team looked at all documents and took appropriate action. The 10,000-page package includes a heavily censored string of emails that identifies Bonney as a participant. The first part appears directed at the unnamed staffer. “We will see if we can help find you something else – can you send me your resume? Send it to Brian also,” one email says. The next one says: “Have (former minister of state for multiculturalism) Harry Bloy meet with her and explain how doing anything would damage the premier and the party. Have him say how he will try to find her work and get her back involved. “If need be, offer x dollars per month to do non-public work up to the election (developing her database of potential supporters).”

Moderately Confused

��

Bridge by Phillip Alder WHY GIVE READERS BAD BIDDING ADVICE? All bridge writers make mistakes. But they should work hard to give sound advice to their readers, especially in the bidding. Look at the North hand in today’s diagram. You open one spade, and your partner responds two diamonds. What would you rebid? There is an excellent general rule in bidding: Never immediately rebid in a suit, whether a major or a minor, unless you have at least six cards in that suit. Here, North has an easy two-no-trump rebid. But the columnist who gave this hand had North rebid two spades without one word of comment. In my opinion, even three diamonds is

a better rebid than two spades. If you put the North hand opposite my hypothesized South hand, you will see that six diamonds is the best spot. It requires little more than one of two finesses, and makes here. After North rebids two no-trump, a possible sequence is three clubs - three diamonds three spades - four hearts (a control-bid; North’s hand could hardly be better) - six diamonds - pass. If North rebids two spades, South might well jump straight to four spades. But what happens to six spades? East leads the heart king, which kills the contract. Probably North would win with his ace, play a club to

the ace, and run the spade jack. East calmly ducks. And now, when declarer repeats the spade finesse, he goes down two, losing one spade and two hearts. Occasionally, you will have to rebid immediately in a five-card suit, but then every other alternative must be worse.

She thrived on physical challenges, was an avid gardener, reader, outdoor adventurer, motorcycle enthusiast, pet and nature lover, painter, and Ć&#x2039;uilter. She leaves behind a legacy of own-root roses which she propagated and shipped across Canada and the United States. Lynn will be missed by all those whose lives she touched.

WATTS, LENISE MARGUERITE May 28, 1948 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; June 30, 2013

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Lenise â&#x20AC;&#x153;Niceeâ&#x20AC;? at Kelowna Hospice. She was very brave throughout the curves that life presented to her. We are grateful that she passed peacefully without pain in her sleep. Days before she left us she had a dream that those who predeceased her; her mother Daphne, her father Leonard, and her loving brother Roger were waiting for her to join them. She will be missed by her sister-in law Sandra, her nephew Roger (Elizabeth), her niece Robyn (Mike), their mother Sandra (Gib), four great nieces and nephews: Alex, Madeleine, Taylor and Max, her cousin Penny in England, and by the wonderful ladies who provided so much love and care over her journey: Monica, Sharon, Shirley, Paige, Tracey, Amanda and Kim. Born in Lodi, California Lenise lived in many places throughout her life. She often reminisced about her childhood days growing up in Africa. She moved to Kelowna in 1998 and worked with her brother Roger in his law practice. Nicee loved her cats, movies, books, watching and playing golf, her garden, betting on horses, and was a big fan of the Kelowna Rockets. She will be remembered for her endless loyalty. Friends are invited to join the family in a celebration of Leniseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road in Kelowna at 10:00 am on Saturday, August 17, 2013. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com 250-860-7077.

Don passed away peacefully with his loving wife at his side. Well known for his time as a mechanic, truck driver and teacher who notoriously gave everyone a nickname. He will be missed dearly by all who knew him. Survived by his wife, Linda; 4 children, Mike, Pam, Lana (Ken) and Jenny; 3 step-children, Cindy, Glen and Darcy; 4 grandchildren, 4 step-grandchildren, 1 great-grandchild; 1 brother, David (Joan); 2 nephews and many cousins. You will always be in our hearts and we know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re forever laughing on the inside. A memorial will be held at Port Hardy Secondary School Saturday, August 17, 2013 at 1:00pm.
