Family calls for justice

Friday, July 26, 2013 - The Morning Star A3

Railway future still uncertain richard rolke Morning Star Staff

It’s still not known if rail service in the North Okanagan will get back on track. Kelowna Pacific Railway declared bankruptcy July 5, bringing a halt to shipments between Vernon and Kamloops and Vernon to Lumby. “We are looking at options to see if we can start up rail service again,” said John McEown, a trustee with Vancouver-based Boale, Wood and Company. “It’s likely the operator would be Canadian National and they are looking at it.” CN which owns most of the track, is saying little about the situation. “KPR still has a lease on the line and CN is working with the receiver on the process moving ahead,” said Emily Hemer, CN’s regional manager of public affairs. In terms of whether cargo activity will resume, Hemer would only say, “It’s too early to speculate.” McEown also wouldn’t speculate on whether CN may re-establish service on the entire line or only parts of it. A number of businesses are being impacted by the lack of rail service including Tolko Industries. Many of them are now shipping product and material by truck. KPR had been operating the short-line since 2000 and it had between 40 and 50 employees mostly based in Vernon.

A family insists the tragic loss of a Vernon teen is not being taken seriously enough by the courts. On Wednesday, Rose Harmon, 69, was sentenced for her role in the death of Mercedes Fraser, who was riding her bicycle at 25th Avenue and 37th Street Aug. 17, 2012. Harmon, who was charged with driving without due care and attention, received a onemonth driving suspension and a $1,500 fine. “Were we looking for jail time, not necessarily. But she should have had her license suspended indefinitely,” said Darrel Wihnon, Fraser’s uncle. “We’re able to move on as a family but the decision will be gnawing at us for some time. If someone gets killed whether it’s through negligence or impairment, they should be held liable.” However, Crown counsel Howard Pontious says the court ruling reflects case history. “The outcome was very predictable because there have been lots of cases about due care and attention,” said Pontious. “The courts have said cases of momentary inattention do not result in dangerous driving charges. People make mistakes. People drive across fog lines. People drive across centre lines.”

Mercedes Fraser (left), 17, died after being struck by a vehicle Aug. 17, 2012. There is a permanent memorial at the site where she was killed, on 25th Avenue and 37th Street. Pontious points out that motorists have insurance for cases of negligence. “If we were to jail people for negligence we would be criminalizing it and there would be no need for insurance.” Harmon had been driving for 40 years. “Prior to the accident, there had never been a problem with her driving,” said Pontious. Pontious describes the entire case

as tragic and says that he understands the sentiments coming from Fraser’s family. “The family’s reaction resulted in a license suspension which doesn’t generally happen if there is a clean driving record,” he said. Fraser, who was preparing to enter Grade 12 at Fulton Secondary, was working at the Vernon Army Camp and was also delivering The Morning Star.

Discussions are underway between a bankruptcy trustee and Canadian National to see if the Kelowna Pacific Railway line can resume operation.

Assault has police seeking public tips Morning Star Staff

Vernon RCMP are seeking the public’s assistance in an assault case. On June 9 at about 2:10 a.m., a police officer was approached by a man stating that another man had been assaulted at Margherita’s Pizza on 30th Avenue. “Several people have been identified as victims in this assault,” said Gord Molendyk, Vernon RCMP spokesman. “The assault appears to be the result of comments relating to the men and their man purses. The investigation into this assault has led to a point where the police are asking

those present for more answers about the assault and the people involved.” Molendyk says there

witnessed the assault to please call the police office. “This assault has left one man with perma-

nent injuries and the police would like to speak to anyone who was there during this time period.”

Effective May 23, 2013 the term of the lease will be month to month at a rate of 1,729.33 per month. The tenant will be responsible for paying all separately metered utilities, water/sewer, and property taxes.

Action has been taken to stop a Commonage neighbourhood from being trashed. Boulders and a gate have been installed on an abandoned piece of road next to Commonage Road, near Rose’s Pond, to prevent illegal dumping. “It just looks awful with garbage there and people use Commonage Road to get to Predator Ridge,” said Bob Fleming, electoral director for the area. Among the items left there are animal carcasses, mattresses and tires.

The lease area is approximately 121 square feet. The term of the lease is month to month, commencing August 2, 2013. The monthly rent will be $200.00 per month plus GST.

Fintry to boat, swim, hike and yes to take in the history,” she said. Edgson says RDCO is simply investigating whether a land swap is possible, and if it does occur, there will be a lengthy process before farming was initiated. “We’d have to meet ministry policies and neighbours’ concerns. It’s way to premature because we have to see first if we can do the land swap,” he said. It’s been suggested that RDCO take over the bottom land because B.C. Parks’ policies currently don’t allow items to be taken out of a park. Under the rules, that could pertain to vegetables and fruit grown there.

Financing is available, payment as low as $30 per month O.A.C.

The Lessee will be required to provide insurance of not less than $2,000,000. Utilities are included in the monthly rental rate. For further information on the above leases, please contact Mr. Brett Bandy, Real Estate Manager, at 250-550-3245.

“It just looks awful with garbage.” — Bob Fleming

“Residents voluntarily have removed waste and I have been up there and helped them take away waste,” said Fleming. Besides being unsightly, there is a concern that carcasses could attract predators like bears while some of the material could become a wildfire risk. Fleming points out that the site is just a few minutes away from the Greater Vernon landfill. “In most cases, it would have been a $3 charge to dump (at the landfill). Pleading poverty is a poor excuse so obviously this was considered a convenience,” he said. However, the convenience is over with the rocks blocking access to the site. “People won’t be able to hide from passersby on Commonage Road any more,” said Fleming. The gate will allow the City of Vernon to access a treated effluent station there. Assistance in installing the barriers came from the Regional District of North Okanagan and the Ministry of Transportation.

You pack up and head out of town, into the mountains for a relaxing, family-memory-filled weekend free of housework, buzzing cell phones and whiny, bored kids (whom you envision distracted by the beauty and wonder of nature while you sit back with that book you’ve been trying to finish for the past week). Once Wednesday hits, you spend each day after work trying to pack up Jennifer Smith your entire household and then the grocery store (yet still manage to forget at least one necessity - like a coat or the coffee). Then when Friday’s work whistle blows, off you go – racing the throng of other camp-seekers to secure a spot. Arriving on a Friday evening means there’s no way you’ll secure that prime lakeside spot, so the seven-by-five foot opening between the trees will have to do. There’s a giant boulder right in the middle and the slope could very well make the camper fall off the truck - but it’s yours, so it’s a victory. You stare depressingly at the half-a-dozen prime empty locations, reserved for those who were smart enough to plan ahead, but then never actually show up. Nonetheless, you’ve escaped the hustle and bustle of town and are now frantic-free, ready to unwind. Ready to get back to your roots in the beautiful back country. If you’re unfortunate enough to have a tent, the nights are filled with fearful noises, creepy crawlies and battling for that sweet spot between boulders and jagged rocks. Next time, you swear to yourself, I’ll pack another foamy, or we’re buying a trailer. Those inside the comfort of a camper or trailer still battle the bugs – particularly that

At rAndoM

one mosquito that managed to squeeze in and buzzes about your head in between feasts on your forehead. You spend the weekend trying to keep the trailer free of the outdoors - so realistically what was the point of coming here again? Then when Sunday arrives, the frantic rush starts all over again. You scurry around trying to cram all the things you once packed so neatly back into the vehicle. You dread the trip back home, where a household of neglected chores, inside and out, await – along with unpacking all the camp gear and supplies, again (when really all you want to do is slump on the couch with your favourite show). As exhausting as it all can be, the trials and tribulations of camping are well worth it. Yes, it can be a pain and almost more stressful getting ready for. But there’s something about escaping the frenzy of town into the serene outdoors that can melt away so much stress. We are incredibly lucky in B.C., and particularly here in the Okanagan, to have an abundance of breath-taking sites to camp at – they don’t call it ‘Beautiful British Columbia’ for nothing. For those with families, the memories made are priceless. Some of my fondest memories as a child were going camping with my dad or grandparents (I’m sure my mom appreciated the break too). I can only hope that as my daughter grows she will look back on her childhood and smile at all the memories at the lake. We may not make it out camping every weekend (because as we all know life needs tending to once in a while and there’s housework, yardwork, birthdays, special events and sometimes even work). But we try to make it as often as we can. And when we do, there’s an abundance of smiles and enough happy memories to last a lifetime.

Elections B.C. has approved Dana Larsen’s drive for a referendum on decriminalizing marijuana possession – a reminder that pot remains illegal, and unlike our neighbour in Washington state, our province and country remain far away from laws that take drug profits away from criminals. Any move to shake up drug laws in this country is seen as a good thing. But pot smokers shouldn’t have a victory toke yet – it’s not clear this referendum will even get off the ground, and, if it does, if the province will give it the time of day. Similar to the ultimately successful drive to oust the HST, Larsen and his supporters need to collect signatures of at least 10 per cent of elected voters in each of the 85 ridings. The gross mishandling of the HST by the Liberals made it easy to whip up voter anger. Many people in B.C. may support laxer laws around possessing marijuana, but the issue is unlikely to inflame the same passions as a government perceived as dishonest. The drive to create a marijuana referendum could help get voting-adverse young adults more engaged in politics. If the referendum were to succeed anywhere in Canada, it should be B.C. But even if Larsen and his allies win, the victory will be non-binding and symbolic – the B.C. Liberals don’t have to support the vote. B.C. may have a permissive pot culture, but this isn’t the U.S., where, for better or worse, voter propositions are binding. And unlike Canadian provinces, states like Washington and Colorado will defy their federal government based on the will of the people. – Black Press

O'Keefe up to the challenge

t is my privilege to work at O'Keefe Ranch as an interpreter. Every day, I and my colleagues tell the story of Cornelius O'Keefe to visitors from all over Canada and the world and to about 75,000 Okanagan-Thompson students over the past 20 years. It is a story of a man of courage, fortitude and foresight. It is a story of what can be accomplished through imagination, innovation, a can-do attitude and never giving up through good times and bad. It is a story of a man who had all of the qualities of a true entrepreneur. He embraced challenges, looking on them as opportunities. A possibility thinker, he was always doing things he couldn't do because he just went ahead and did them. He left Upper Canada with little money in his pocket, but with a big dream in his heart and a willingness to step out into the unknown to make his dreams happen. And happen they did through hard work and determination and with the love and support of his in reSponSe Arthur Klukas wrote a letter recently about increased costs of education locally and the rise of local taxes generally. Some of his points are wellmade but I feel the need to correct a couple of incorrect assumptions. The first is the correlation between declining enrolment in schools and the rise in school taxes. Mr. Klukas asks – is this due to salaries? The short answer is yes and no. School boards operate with two sources of revenue, provincial grants based on student enrolment and municipal taxes that are assigned to education. If provincial grants go down, as they have for some time now, even if teachers and other staff are laid off, overall costs still require a rise in local taxes to cover the shortfall. Unlike provincial and federal governments, local governments and school boards are not allowed to have deficits (thank goodness too). As a result, they can not postpone or defer any fiscal problems. They must balance their budgets and, unless the province increas-

es grants to school boards, local taxes for education will go up until enrolment begins to climb. The second point that needs clarification involves indexed pensions. Every Canadian taxpayer is well aware of pensions for federal and provincial politicians that can only be described as staggering. There is no way, quite simply, that teachers’ pensions can be equated to those of MPs and MLAs. Mr. Klukas writes, “A lot of us do not have an indexed pension like many government employees receive.” The basic premise is true but here’s the rest of the story. Any employee in the private or public sector who has a pension that is adjusted based on the cost of living has, in effect, paid for that with monthly contributions for his/her entire career. Public sector pensions are not “received,” they are earned. Similarly, the post-retirement health benefits packages to which Mr. Klukas refers are not gifts. Rather, they are paid for every month and have, in fact, become so expensive, that many retirees

have stepped away from them. I certainly agree with Mr. Klukas about taxes at every level and in the same issue of The Morning Star, there was another jaw-dropping point made by Tom Fletcher in his article, Prepare for Hydro Hikes. Apparently the provincial government, through the B.C. Utilities Commission, will be looking for a 32 per cent increase in hydro rates in the next three years to help pay down the deferred debt that B.C. Hydro has accumulated. At the same time, the provincial government continues to take an annual dividend of more than $500 million from B.C. Hydro as its lone shareholder. If someone can explain the logic behind this move, I’m sure every taxpayer in the province would like to hear it.

North Okanagan residents are being urged to join the fight against HIV/AIDS. As part of the Stop HIV/AIDS trial program in Vernon, people will be asked routinely at health care sites when they were last tested for the virus. In the past, the only people who were routinely screened for HIV were pregnant women and those who told their health care provider they were engaging in certain high-risk behaviours. “With the old model, there was potential to miss an early diagnosis because patients may not have known they were at risk or their health-care provider may not have asked about it,” said Jennifer May Hadford, an epidemiologist with the Interior Health Authority. “The Stop HIV/AIDS program aims to change that.” Under the new program, HIV tests will become a regular part of routine medical screening. “The new standard of care in B.C. is to offer an HIV test to any adult who has not had one within the past year,” said Dr. Trevor Corneil, an IHA medical health officer. “This will allow us to identify an infection early and manage it as a chronic disease. HIV treatment has come a long way; early treatment can prevent the virus from attacking the body and it can also prevent it from spreading to others. Early diagnosis and treatment also allows those who

it from individuals who didn’t know they had HIV to begin with. If more people know their HIV status and receive early treatment, the spread of the disease in our communities can be halted.” Stop HIV/AIDS will roll out this summer in Vernon, Merritt, and Trail. And then it’s expected to expand over the next four to 24 months to all IHA communities.

said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “He got out on to a dock and when the police arrived, he waved to them and jumped into the water.” Steps were taken immediately to ensure the safety of the individual. “Because he was not acting by the norm, there was a concern,” said Molendyk. The individual was eventually assisted off the lake by Search and Rescue members using a Seadoo. A 27-year-old Westbank was deemed to be intoxicated and he was taken to Vernon RCMP cells to recover.

Rodeo bursts out of gates Cowboys and cowgirls will have a chance at a $4,000 weekend as they compete in Rodeo Extreme today and Saturday (7 p.m.) at Kal Tire Place. The two-day indoor rodeo will feature 10 competitors in each of four events – bull riding, saddle bronc, barrel racing and bareback riding – with the potential to earn $2,000 a night. Jamie Bruvall, president of Calgary-based promoter Trophy Tournaments, likes how the competition is shaping up. Quesnel’s Steve Hohmann will be a frequent face throughout the weekend as he has entered everything except barrel racing. “He’s the toughest cowboy I know,” said Bruvall. “I’m pretty sure if we had guys in the barrels, he’d be in there too.” Chilliwack’s Kaila Mussel, the only female in North America competing in rough stock events, will take on the men in the saddle bronc. “She is one of the most talented bronc riders

you’ll see,” said Bruvall. “She’s an inspiration to any female in the rodeo world.” Kamloops’ DeRose brothers, Denver and Gavin, highlight a talented group of bareback riders, while Ryan Jasper of Riske Creek, B.C. should be in the hunt for prize money in bull riding. “Oh my god that kid can stick to almost anything,” said Bruvall. “He can’t walk a straight line, but put him on the back of a bull and his balance is remarkable.” Riders will be put up against rough stock provided by Roy and Earl Call of C+ Rodeo in 150 Mile House. Amanda Fitchett and Tammy Aiello are the lone Vernon entries and will compete in barrel racing. Tickets are $20 in advance ($25 at the door) and are available online at ticketseller.ca. Admission for kids 10 and under is free. For additional information, including the complete contestant and stock lists, visit www.vernonrodeoextreme.com.

Truck found but trailer still missing Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

The trailer is still outstanding, but RCMP have recovered a welding truck, stolen out of Lumby Saturday, all the way in 100-Mile House. The Ford F550 truck was located Tuesday, but the public is still being asked to keep its eyes out for a 27-foot, 2010 Keystone Cougar travel trailer (which was stolen at the same time as the truck from the Lumby industrial park). “We’re asking for the public’s help to be on the lookout,” said Cst. Dan Cocks. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the trailer is asked to call their local RCMP detachment.

Childcare costs hike living wage rate Morning Star Staff

For the third time in as many years, there’s been a rise in the living wage required by each pair of working members of a four-person Central Okanagan family. The 2013 living wage calculation for the Regional District of Central Okanagan is up an average 4.9 per cent over the previous year`s figure ($17.17). Christene Walsh To keep the two-parent, twochild household out of extreme poverty, each adult must be employed full-time and earn at least $18.01 per hour in order to meet their family`s most basic needs. “While most categories used for the living wage calculation increased slightly, there was a notable jump in the costs associated with child care,” said Christene Walsh, social development program co-ordinator. “This expense rose about 8.5 per cent or $89 per month over 2012. Also adding to the increased challenge facing Central Okanagan families is a 4.5 per cent rise in the cost of transportation to just over $492 a month in 2013.”

The calculation is based on an established format from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and is endorsed provincially by First Call: B.C. Child and Youth Advocacy Coalition. It reflects the actual costs of living in a community and is different from the minimum wage, which is a minimum rate of pay legislated by the provincial government. The Central Okanagan living wage calculation includes expenses such as food, rent, transportation, child care and education expenses; all considered the basic needs of any family. Government taxes, credits, deductions and subsidies are also included in the calculations. Other real life costs such as debt repayment, entertainment (cable, Internet), special care of a relative, cigarette smoking and saving for or acquiring home ownership are not part of the living wage calculation. “Considering a recent announcement that B.C. is tied with Manitoba regarding the highest child poverty rates in Canada, the living wage calculation is important because it encourages all Central Okanagan communities to explore additional innovative ways to help families meet their most basic needs while offering opportunities to get ahead,” said Walsh.

Accountability is important

enate accountability is important to our government as it is to all Canadians. The prime minister made it clear to the Senate that he wanted to see expense guidelines that were crystal

clear. The Conservative leader in the Senate, Marjory LeBreton, has responded to tightening the reins on Senate spending. Why wasn’t this done long before now?

I don’t know but what I do know is that our government is addressing this issue and fixing it. The old guidelines simply said, “a senator is presumed to act honorably with respect

to expenses.” How did that work? For the most part, not too bad, but as we see today, there have been lapses in judgment as well as ethics. Under the old guidelines, no log of

Residents can learn more about Vernon’s military past. Starting this Saturday, the Vernon Cadet Camp Museum is open every Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. “The new satellite museum is located in an original building from the Second World War that served as the camp’s post office from wartime up until the 1970s,” said Ron Candy, with the Greater Vernon Museum, which helped organize the exhibit. To help celebrate the building’s history, the Greater Vernon Museum has been issued a specially designed cancellation stamp from Canada Post with the words “Vernon Cadet Camp Museum” appearing within the cancel mark. “This Saturday, the new cancellation stamp, with date, will be launched at the camp museum,” said Candy. The museum will have on hand specially printed postcard images of the camp taken from the archives. These can be purchased, with postage, and then stamped with the new cancel. Retired postmaster, Gary Fisher, will be present to make the cancellations. “This is a great chance for collectors to get what will prove to be a very scarce cancellation. The camp museum will be the only location where the cancel will be used,” said Candy. Access to the cadet camp museum is made through the pedestrian tunnel that runs under Highway 97 between the camp and Dieppe Square to the west. Vehicles can be parked in the lot next to Dieppe Square and visitors can then walk through the tunnel to the museum, situated at the south end of the grassed area.

Controllers dialed up for Italy Morning Star Staff

They win half their games in the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division and then stick around for a soda and fellowship. Nobody has more fun than the Vernon Controllers, who are taking their act to the World Masters Games, Aug. 2-11, in Torino, Italy. Coached by the zany Doug Macdonald, the Controllers wore toques and waved Canadian flags for a team picture Tuesday night at Marshall Field. The headgear was in honour of Torino hosting the 2006 Winter Olympics. The weather in northern Italy will be similar to the Okanagan and the Controllers will play their best, shake hands with a smile and get up close and personal with the country. Torino, a city of 900,000, is well known as the home of the Shroud of Turin, the football teams Juventus F.C. and Torino F.C. and the headquarters of automobile manufacturers FIAT, Lancia and Alfa Romeo. “We come out to have fun, not necessarily to compete but it’s just a great group of ladies,” said Controller veteran Valerie Percy. “It’s a good night of fitness, laughs and bevvies afterwards are always fun. We’re looking forward to the wine, the pasta, the chocolate, George Clooney. “It could be the extra-curricular what we’re looking forward to.” Veteran Jody Pope said the team has done two years of fundraising, working the youth soccer concession on weekends and filling shifts at Funtastic. “We’ve manned our whole team except for one player (Jodi Hawthorne from Longhorn Impact) we’ve pulled from another team,” said Pope. “A lot wanted to go so we really tried to accommodate with the age group and stuff so we’re playing a little bit younger than most of us.” The Controllers are in a 40+ pool which includes local rival NOU and a Fraser Valley entry. Pope said it was easy getting a roster for the trek. “Number one, it’s a great group of girls and we’ve been playing hard and I just threw it out there. ‘Anybody else interested in this?’ And they jumped. Italy, of course.” Some spouses will meet the team near the end of the trip and some of the ladies will check out other parts of Europe after the Games. The soccer will be played at turf stadiums and the teams will have access to free trains and loads of tours during their off-days. Percy and Pope both praised Macdonald for going the extra mile for the ladies. “Passionate, goofy, devoted,” said Percy, when asked about her coach. “He was at the fundraising every weekend from start to finish so he’s really a big part of our team and getting us together.” Macdonald figures the Controllers were too giddy as they tried on their new jerseys minutes before falling 5-1 to TED United of Salmon Arm. “The ladies had other things on their mind this night as most of them play their final league game on Friday, pack and head for Italy,” said Macdonald. United took full advantage, pumping in three goals in

The Controllers (8-9-1) received exchange gifts for the Masters Games from Predator Ridge, Silver Star Mountain, Back to Earth, Tolko Industries, Interior Logging Association and the offices of MLA Eric Foster and MP Colin Mayes. Meanwhile, the Longhorn Impact mauled the Shuswap Merlot 5-0 in Masters play in Salmon Arm. Minda Chittenden had the game of the season for the 19-0 Impact, scoring once on a beautiful shot from outside the 18 and running miles. Striker Myra McEwan, a Kelowna product who stopped in on her way back to her other home in Calgary, pulled yet another hat trick, while Hawthorne connected on a wicked free kick. Vel Beaumont and Heather Findlay were tireless all night for the Longhorn, while Vicky Ryan came off the reserve list and made an impressive impact as stopper. Derri Ann Cooper earned the shutout. The Merlot dipped to 3-9-3. The Chick Kickers got a dynamic deuce from Target Lady of the Match Jenny Garnett in a 6-0 win over Goplen Drillers at Marshall #1.

Michelle Johnson and Shauna Duncan-Stenquist assisted on Garnett’s snipes. Mel Jacobs mirrored Garnett by providing the next two goals, both from feeds by Johnson. In the second half, Crystal Bergman capitalized on a free-from-defence moment to score from outside of the 18, while the normally defensive Wendy Magnus chipped in a beauty to finish the scoring. Jacobs and Marilyn VanderDeen shared the shutout. “Wendy Martens played an exceptional last game with the Chick Kickers as she continued to provide strength and consistency on and off the field,” said Jacobs. Martens, her husband Brad, and children are moving to the Coast and will be missed by everyone.” NOU, with several starters already in Europe, bowed 4-1 to host Shuswap Kaos. Carla Gibson buried a penalty kick, awarded after a hand ball on a shot by Teresa Collins. Karen Semph did a great job in goal as NOU (5-7-6) played with nine. In Division 1 action, Dr. Lee’s Dental, playing with no subs in the extreme heat, managed to squeak out a 1-0 win over the ever-improving Wrap Zone at Marshall #5. After dominating the first half, the Floss crew (12-2-1) got a lucky goal off an Ally Dodds corner which bounced off Jacquie Hansen into the net.

He cross-trains by playing power forward in hockey and left field in baseball. “They (coaches) really liked my vertical, my hard work, my hustle, defence and they really liked my passing, mostly,” said Currie, who like Oduro, turns 17 in October. “They said I was a good all-around player.” Currie does tons of leg training to up his vertical, and has soft hands. “He had a good Baden Cup and he’s pretty athletic,” said Bennett, of Currie. “He jumps really well and the best thing I liked about him was his passing and his serve-receiving was strong. The road is high for him. “Both Kristian and Charles just need more experience in games. They both have a good future in the sport.” B.C. stopped Alberta 3-2 (19-25, 25-22, 25-21, 17-25, 15-11) to strike gold in Regina. B.C. brushed back Saskatchewan Green 3-1 (25-18, 22-25, 26-24, 25-23) in the semis after sweeping pool matches 3-0 over Saskatchewan White, Manitoba Gold and

Manitoba White. “We were just communicating really well and the effort level was really high, and in the end, we just had the most heart to win the game,” said Currie, who has an older sister and younger brother. “I was on the bench cheering my team on every point, even if we lose or win it, just helping them up.” Currie says his dad emphasizes getting down to basics first and then elevating his game play more and more every year. Like Oduro, Currie hopes to play collegiate ball. He will send out videos and hope to get scouted at big tournaments next season. “I have to work on my upper body and my cardio and get back in shape for the fall. I’d like to add 15 pounds.” Currie turned down a prime vacation trip before deciding to try out. “I was surprised. At first, I was thinking, ‘Oh no, I’m not going to make it, these guys are massive.’ But I worked my butt off to make it.”

Miller signs off from Viper airwaves GraeMe corbett

Morning Star Staff

Todd Miller has been calling Vernon Viper hockey games since current head coach Jason Williamson was captain. But after more than 1,000 B.C. Hockey League games, Miller is signing off the airwaves and relinquishing his role as the voice of the Vipers. The long-time play-by-play man will now refocus his efforts on the organization’s business operations in his role as assistant general manager and alternate governor. He will dedicate himself solely to the Vipers’ day-to-day operations, including everything from game-night operations to sponsorship and promotions to ticketing and security to coordinating volunteers. With Vernon hosting the RBC Cup Todd Miller national Junior A championships in May, Miller said it will be important to make sure everything is running smoothly during the lead-up. “We definitely have some room for improvement in business operations,” said Miller. “We’ll have the opportunity to make some changes and have more bodies help us with some of the issues that we’ve had.” Added Williamson: “We’re going into a season where we’re going to be under the microscope the whole time. There’s a lot of things in the office that he takes care of. He’ll make sure it runs smoothly so I don’t have to worry about it.” Another reason for Miller’s decision to step back was his fam-

ily. He has two young sons – Tanner, four, and nine-month-old Ty – who he would like to see more of. That can’t happen when he’s on the road with the Snakes, sometimes returning from trips in the middle of the night. “I owe it to my boys to spend more time with them,” said Miller. “My wife (Tiffany) was one of the people that wanted me to continue with play-by-play. She was playing devil’s advocate to make sure I was ready to make this decision.” Miller jumpstarted his play-by-play career with the Merritt Centennials in 1998, moving to the Viper den in 2003. Despite the monotony and cramped legs that come with time on the road, Miller will miss travelling with the Vipers. The camaraderie that comes from busing about with a close-knit, fun-loving bunch of teenagers is truly a unique experience. “There’s plenty that I will miss for sure,” said Miller. “There are things about the road you definitely enjoy.” Of all the games he called, Miller said the Vipers’ three straight appearances in the RBC Cup final are his most memorable. He can still recall the 2009 final between Vernon and Humboldt at Victoria’s Bear Mountain Arena, and watching Kyle Bigos dangle through pretty much the entire Bronco defence to score the goal of the tournament. “That was the insurance marker,” said Miller. “Up to that point the game was in limbo. When you get to that point, you’re not calling the game on what you see, you’re calling it on pure emotion. “There’s something extra special about getting up in the press box and calling a game and relaying that to listeners.”

Poulsen turns hat trick for NET Morning Star Staff

Brent Poulsen supplied the hat trick as North Enderby Timber ambushed Turn-Key Controls 4-0 Wednesday night in the scorching heat at Marshall Field #2. Scoring came early and often for NET, who tallied in the fifth minute on a give-and-go between Harminder Sandhu and Poulsen, who then shunned a defender and beat keeper Victor Gouchee short side. The Timber improved to 10-3-1 in the North Okanagan Soccer League, eight points back of first-place Salmon Arm Courvas, 6-1 winners over the Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels. Turn-Key is fourth at 8-5. At 15 minutes, NET forward Evan Frederick was brought down on a breakaway inside the area, leading to a Sandhu penalty kick that was powered low to the back of the net. In the 35th minute, it was Poulsen again from Sandhu on a 30-yard cannon that sailed over Gouchee, post and in, top corner. Gouchee made several clutch saves, including on two breakaways. NET capped the offence in the second half after a Turn-Key defender attempted to play a back pass to Gouchee and Poulsen took the giftwrapped feed and hit the empty net. Poulsen earned the La Senza Man of the Match. Turn-Key came out determined in the second half, carrying the play for the opening 20 minutes, but were unable to put one past an aggressive Danny Stein, who earned his fourth shutout in a row. NET received stingy defence from Jesse Knight and Tyler Loose. Nolan’s Pharmasave Man of the Match Carson Haywood-Farmer led the Turn-Key attack while playing the whole game on the back end with

some defensive regulars missing. The Timber face Peters TirecraftConcept Physio tonight (7:00) at Marshall #4, while Turn-Key entertains the Revelstoke Stallions Sunday (6 p.m.) at Marshall #5 in make-up games. NET alumni and fellow Vernonite Mike Watson is running for Canada’s next sportcaster and the Timber urge everyone visit Drafted.ca and vote for Mike. In Salmon Arm, the Camels started off right by maintaining possession, but after losing control in the midfield, allowed Courvas to capitalize on an exposed defence. Austin Jones pulled one back for the Camels with some nifty moves in the box, but a repeat miscue in midfield shortly after afforded Courvas to take the lead again. Courvas (13-1) increased their lead to three going into the break. The Humpbacks (8-5-2) enjoyed some second-half chances but the Courvas keeper thwarted any attempts. Ryan Campbell was stellar in the Vernon net, stopping a number of breakaways. Darin’s Plumbing Man of the Match for the Camels went to Keenan Jespersen for tireless running as wing back. The Vernon Riot FC doubled the winless Salmon Arm Outlaws 4-2 in the Shuswap. With the exception of about 15 minutes in the second half when Outlaws scored their goals, the Riot had all the play and could have reached double digits with several near misses. Patrick Schindler (2), Lendrit Ademi and Dom Oshanek handled the Riot attack. Matt Catton registered several good saves in the second half as the Riot went to 3-10-2. Injury-riddled Monashee Surveying FC lost 1-0 to Revelstoke at

Winless Wrap Zone played hard in the second half, but were thwarted by keeper Lisa Arrotta on several chances. Okanagan Spring Lady of the Match Stephanie Wilson was stellar in the midfield for Dr. Lee, and the defensive line of Loren Brunelle, Cindy Worth and Irene Arrotta turned back the Wrap Zone assault. The North Enderby Timber Celtics scraped out a 1-0 win over the injury-riddled Little Tex Outlaws (8-2-5) at Marshall #4. Celtics’ keeper Charmaine Biagioni reeled off three gamesaving stops and had booming drop kicks to keep the Outlaws’ defence on their heels. After multiple failed attempts with 12 minutes left, U.S. collegiate star Paige Doherty slipped a shot past Texan keeper Eileen Fox, who had a marvellous last game as she heads off to enjoy her pregnancy. Doherty wheeled her way into the box to outmuscle a defender on a challenge, leaving just Fox to beat. Steph Conti, Jasmine Whitling, Monica Neilson and Stacey Cover controlled the Texans’ back line in a defensive game against the 7-6-2 Celtics. Toren Huntley was dynamic for Little Tex (8-2-5) in the centre midfield, slipping back into her natural position after running tirelessly on the wing with Lisa Stewart and Brianna Ostafie. Forward Maria Thorlakson pushed through the Celtics’ offside trap, causing a continual headache for the green backs and keeper. Both teams drew a red card after a violent play in the

Jeremy Kler (right) of Turn-Key FC shields the ball from Brodie Couch of North Enderby Timber in North Okanagan Soccer League play Wednesday night at Marshall Field. Brent Poulsen scored a hat trick as NET won 4-0. Marshall #4. Both teams played well with chances on both ends. Monashee thought they had broke open the scoring when Devon Marriott put a free kick on net that was saved and the rebound was cleared by what many thought was a hand ball. With under five minutes to go, Monashee lost its two subs to injury and they watched a corner get put away on a volley to finish the game. Okanagan Spirits Man of the Match John Duc was once again calm and composed on the back line.

Thank You Aaron Damini A special thank you to Aaron Damini, of Damini Physiotherapy, for the commitment and dedication he displayed in the rehabilitation of my daughter’s knee, speed skater Connie Kapak.

Connie just returned from a week of four hours a day test skating on the long track of the Calgary Oval. Aaron, we are so grateful, and appreciative of your efforts, “she is back”. Pete Kapak

Nation of Domination Eagle Homes grounded Peters Tirecraft/ Concept Physio 6-1 in Salmon Arm. Kyle Richardson of Tirecraft buried the first goal of the game from 35 yards just four minutes in off a corner from Riley Strother. The game stayed that way until NOD got a penalty kick at the end of the first half. Riley Spraggs made a brilliant stop, but the NOD player buried the rebound.

second half. The AF Blazers fell 4-3 to Glenn Power Contracting of Salmon Arm at Marshall #3. Ali Clarke opened the scoring by collecting a drop kick from keeper Katie Hatten and going in on a partial breakaway, deking through the defence. Salmon Arm then netted two goals before the half. Amber Maltman, Jenny Hatten and Shelby Price worked tirelessly on defence to shut down the speedy 6-5-4 Glenn Power forwards. In the second half, the Blazers (5-8-2) gave up an early goal before Clarke converted a pass from Hailey Woon. Woon then pocketed her ninth of the season to level the score. The Blazers gave up a late goal to concede the win. Clarke and Shantell Hayhurst had several great runs up the wings and set up numerous chances, but failed to convert. Midfielders Janna Cumming, Holly Wylie and Nicole Stensrude moved the ball well and played strong two-way games. Rosters shaded the shortstaffed Setters Pub 2-1 in the sweltering Salmon Arm heat as Becky McLennan and Lisa Fogel combined for the Rosters’ goals, the first coming from a sweet pass from Fogel in the middle right onto McLennan’s left foot. Setters answered back immediately and it was a hard fought game up and down the field with great efforts by Felicia Musa, Marissa Weibe, Denise Bateman, Daralee Morris and Marianne DeFoor. Rosters (2-9-4) got the winner early in the second half with a cross from McLennan to Fogel, who danced around a player and finished beautifully.

Sports C’s swing for Interior glory

Track stars pocket provincial medals

Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Triple A Track Club sent three athletes to the B.C. Athletics Jamboree last weekend in Kamloops. Each one earned a medal from the provincial club championships. Jared Sexsmith, a 15-year-old from Lumby, threw a personal best 39.11 metres in the javelin to place fifth. His 1.75m in the high jump was good enough for a silver medal. Fulton’s Joey Kohut, 15, ran three events in the blistering heat. He was fifth in the 1,200 (3:35.18) and 800 (2:13.05), and collected bronze in the 2,000 in 6:16.05. Armstrong’s Tyra Gilbert, 17, ran a personal best 14.80 in 100 hurdle heats. She bettered that by 0.20 seconds in the final to secure bronze. Gilbert and Sexsmith will compete at the Legion National Youth Championships, Aug. 9-11, in Langley. Every year in August, the Royal Canadian Legion, in partnership with Athletics Canada, sponsors nationals for athletes between the ages of 14 and 17.

Vipers seeking play-by-play replacement Continued from A22

Miller is one of a handful of BCHL announcers capable of calling a game with passion, but without letting his home-team bias get in the way. Those are some of the traits Williamson will be looking for in Miller’s replacement. “Play by play is huge,” said Williamson. “We have such a loyal following and we have to keep

tickets $20 or in advance oor $25 at the d

them excited about Viper hockey when we’re not home. Todd did such a good job of keeping fans in tune. It’ll be important we find the right guy and keep the standard that Todd held for 10-plus years.” The Vipers are now accepting applications for a new broadcaster. Resumes and demos can be e-mailed to todd@vipers.bc.ca.

The Vernon Canadians open the Interior Pee Wee A Baseball Playdowns Saturday morning at Creekside Park against the Rutland Rockies. Coached by Mike Lewis, Kevin Porteous, Nick Foufoulas and Ernie Cherwkoski, the C’s meet Salmon Arm at 1 p.m. the same day. The semifinals go Sunday at 10 a.m. followed by the finals at 2 p.m. The top two teams advance to the provincial championships, Aug. 1-4, in Surrey. Kelowna, West Kelowna and Penticton round out the playoff teams. Vernon warmed up for the Interior tournament by grounding the host Rockies 24-9 and shading Penticton 12-11 in exhibition games last weekend. Erik Colwell stroked an over-thefence grand slam to score Maguire Lauridsen, Matthew Hansen and Koll Cherkowski in the third inning versus Rutland. Colwell and Cherkowski scored in the first inning on a single by Ryan Gamage. Alyssa Racine drove in Landon Harison in the second inning, while Harison drove in Shelby Porteous and scored on a Racine hit, in the fourth. Cherkowski kept the offence rolling by knocking in Hansen and

Lauridsen in the fifth, while Gamage smacked a line drive past first base to score Colwell. In the sixth, Eric Foufoulas singled to left field and swiped second on an overthrow, scoring Brayden Beacom. Nakoda Parker doubled to left to bring in Foufoulas and Chris McIntosh, while Lauridsen followed with a single to centre, scoring Parker and Ethan Eisenhauer. Harison, McIntosh and Colwell handled the pitching. After losing an earlier Sunday game 14-4 to Prince George, the C’s rallied past Penticton 12-11 at Creekside with McIntosh nailing a line drive to left to score Colwell with the winning run. Vernon opened with back-toback doubles from Lauridesen and Cherkowski and RBI-singles by Colwell and McIntosh. Gamage struck out two batters in the third inning with Penticton leading 8-3. Beacom hit his first overthe-fence grand slam in the same inning, scoring Gamage, Colwell and McIntosh. It was 8-8 in the fourth with Eisenhauer knocking in Harison and Parker doubling in Foufoulas and Eisenhauer to match Penticton’s three runs. Lauridsen was stellar at shortstop, while Cherkowski and McIntosh also pitched.

A program that provides lower-income families, pregnant women and seniors with coupons for locally produced food is receiving an additional $2 million investment across B.C. The Farmers Market Nutrition Coupon Program, which runs until October 2013, offers $15 worth of coupons each week to individuals and families enrolled in the nutrition and skills building programs offered by community agencies associated with each participating market. “We know that having access to healthy, fresh foods makes a huge difference in health,” said Terry Lake, health minister. “ U n f o r t u n a t e l y, for some British Columbians, it can be hard to access these nutritious necessities. This program will help us improve the health of B.C. families by offering improved access to locally produced food for those most in need.” Among the participants are the Armstrong Farmers Market and the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club, and the Vernon Farmers Market and the First Nations Friendship Centre’s prenatal nutrition program. “This program had great success last year,

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Favors that you request today could either be ignored or carried out poorly by associates. To be on the safe side, it’s best you rely solely upon yourself and not on others.

You could be left on the outside looking in. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Unfortunately, if you’re not careful, you could get caught smack in the middle of a situation where you have to please everybody. Don’t get snookered into it -- it’s an impossible situation. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Even if your strong views are diametrically opposed to those of your colleagues, allow your intellectual adversaries a chance to express their thoughts.

She or he could be promoting another pig in a poke.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Without thinking, you could allow an associate to lay claim to some of your resources. What’s yours does not belong to anyone else unless you choose to give it. Use your discretion. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Although you might get off to a good start by knuckling down to business, favorable results are questionable because you could let up just when the finish line is in sight. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Just because a friend has an idea, don’t automatically give it credence. Check things out thoroughly -- this glib pal might have a rather unsound plan. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Being willing to work hard is not the total answer for achieving success today.

Bridge by Phillip Alder KEEPING TRUMPS UNDER CONTROL In the “Get Smart” television show, the agents from Control usually battled against the bad guys from Kaos. To be successful, bridge players must know how to control the trump suit; otherwise, the play might become chaotic. In this example deal, South is in four spades. The defenders start with two rounds of hearts. How should South continue? North’s sequence showed a game-invitational hand with exactly three spades. Although South had only 12 high-card points, his secondary club fit made his hand worth game. Declarer has 10 winners: five spades, two diamonds

and three clubs. And if trumps are breaking 3-2, it will be easy to take those tricks. So South should wonder about a 4-1 spade split. To see why this is important, suppose declarer trumps the second round of hearts and starts to draw trumps. When he sees the 4-1 break, he will have to stop (or run out of trumps) and shift to clubs. But if East ducks the first round, takes the second (seeing West’s high-low to show a doubleton), and gives West a club ruff, the defenders will eventually get a diamond trick for down one. Since South is doomed to lose one diamond whatever happens, he should be

happy to concede it at trick two, discarding a diamond from his hand instead of ruffing. Then if a third heart is played, declarer can ruff in the dummy, keeping his five trumps intact. He can draw trumps, knock out the club ace and claim. Watch out for the loseron-loser play.

An open letter to all Canadians Bell Canada is taking the unusual step of writing to all Canadians today. As the nation’s longest-serving telecommunications company, established shortly after Confederation in 1880, we would like to ensure Canadians clearly understand a critical situation impacting their world-leading wireless industry. Verizon Communications, a $120-billion US telecommunications giant with 100 million wireless customers, is considering entering the Canadian market. A company of this scale certainly doesn’t need handouts from Canadians or special regulatory advantages over Canadian companies. But that is exactly what they get in the new federal wireless regulations. Bell welcomes any competitor, but they should compete on a level playing field. Fair competition is something Canadians demand and something Bell expects too after 133 years of investment in delivering world-class communications services to Canadians.

Unintended advantages for American giants: How we got here The federal government has recently taken an activist role in regulating Canada’s wireless industry. That includes giving various benefits to small startup wireless competitors. With Ottawa’s help, the new companies have become part of the vigorously competitive Canadian wireless marketplace. But the government inadvertently left holes in the wireless rules that would give big US corporations the same extraordinary advantages as the small startups. And all Canadians are on the hook to pay. Verizon has said it’s looking at taking advantage of this unique opportunity. We do not believe a US company 4x the size of Canada’s entire wireless industry combined requires special help from Canada. It’s profoundly unfair to all Canadians, and Ottawa needs to close the loopholes.

3 loopholes in the rules Under federal regulations originally designed for startup competitors, Verizon would actually get these benefits… 1. Verizon would be able to buy twice as much of Canada’s airwaves as Canadian companies like Bell can in an upcoming auction of wireless spectrum – the airwaves that carry your calls and data. These airwaves are a public resource, and access to them is critical to providing you with world-leading wireless services. When Ottawa auctions off Canada’s airwaves for use by telecommunications companies, it gets significant revenues. These are public funds. It is inappropriate for our own government to essentially reserve a public resource for a company like Verizon to the detriment of Canadian companies. In doing so, the government will also reduce federal auction revenue significantly – by potentially hundreds of millions of dollars. A loophole that gives US companies access to twice as much of our airwaves and at a lower cost is an unfair advantage, paid for by Canadians. 2. They get to piggyback on the networks of Canadian carriers wherever they don’t want to invest and build their own. Under the rules, Verizon would have the right to offer wireless service using the advanced networks funded by Canadian companies and built by Canadian workers. Industry experts say a Verizon wouldn’t need to build its own network throughout Canada, invest in Canada’s rural communities, or support Canadian jobs like Canadian wireless companies do. Instead, they would concentrate on a few big urban centres, forcing Canadian carriers to do the same while potentially cutting jobs and slashing costs in order to compete. 3. Verizon can acquire smaller Canadian competitors – but Bell and other Canadian wireless companies can’t even try. American players like Verizon can buy up new Canadian wireless companies like Wind Mobile and Mobilicity at cut-rate prices – including their existing spectrum holdings previously subsidized by Canadian taxpayers. Yet Canadian carriers like Bell are restricted from competing to acquire these Canadian startups, even if the new companies want it to happen. That means Verizon gets them for below-market value. What did Ottawa get from the United States in return for this unprecedented access to Canada? Nothing. No reciprocity in the US for Canadian companies. In fact, can you even imagine Canadian wireless companies getting preferred access to New York, Los Angeles or Chicago?

3 straightforward ways to close the loopholes The Bell team is ready to compete with anyone for your business on a level playing field. But big US companies taking advantage of rules designed to help Canadian startups is just not on the level. To get wireless policy back on track, we propose that… 1. Canadian wireless carriers should be able to bid for the same amount of Canada’s airwaves as Americans can. 2. US operators entering Canada should roll out wireless service across the country, just as Canadian companies have. 3. If a small Canadian wireless company seeks a buyer, Canadian carriers should be allowed to bid, just as the Americans can. US giants don’t need special help from the Canadian government, and Canadians shouldn’t have to pay their way into the country. Instead, let’s give Canada’s own communications companies a fair chance to compete with them. Sincerely,

George Cope, President and CEO, Bell Canada and BCE

We’re not the only ones concerned “Why would Ottawa create a policy environment that favours a U.S. telecom giant and deliberately trashes the shareholders of the major Canadian wireless players?” Terence Corcoran, Financial Post, June 27, 2013

“But there is no basis for the Commission to give certain large companies a regulatory hand-out… so they can acquire spectrum… at a substantial discount over the price that would otherwise be received.” Verizon, Regulatory filing to the FCC on U.S. Incentive Auctions, March 12, 2013

“In fact a report published last week commissioned by the CRTC suggested a similar conclusion (that wireless prices have come down meaningfully since 2008) – so we’re not entirely sure where Industry Canada is getting its data about the market not being competitive. Then again, the government wouldn’t let a little data get in the way of a good lever for getting votes, and that’s clearly what is going on here.” Bob Bek, CIBC World Markets, July 12, 2013

“The perception that Canadian prices are high relative to other jurisdictions has been seized upon by the government as an invitation to intervene and deliver lower prices. But the perception is false and the invitation is illogical.” Dr. Jeffrey Church and Andrew Wilkins of the University of Calgary, The Globe and Mail, July 8, 2013

“…the federal government’s anything-goes market interventions to support a fourth carrier have so gerrymandered the rules to favour Verizon sweeping in that any investor seriously interested in buying shares in Canadian telecom companies should be spooked.” Sean Silcoff, The Globe and Mail, June 27, 2013

“This will mean significant layoffs which could easily trump the hiring to be done by Verizon, which besides a needed presence in retail outlets, should be able to initially handle a lot of functions (marketing, billing) from the United States.” Adam Shine, National Bank Financial, June 26, 2013

“Unlike the national incumbents in Canada, we wonder if Verizon has a strategy for wireless broadband in rural markets, a key political consideration for the current Conservative Government.” Dvai Ghose, Canaccord Genuity, July 2, 2013

Songwriter wins opportunity to attend ArtsWells Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

Every summer, artists from all corners of this great country of ours flock like blackflies to the close-knit B.C. community of Wells. Tucked in between Quesnel and the paddling haven of the Bowron Lakes, this colourful village, population 236, grows in triplicate in July and August, due in part to the nearby historical gold rush town of Barkerville, but also because of the annual, respected arts festival ArtsWells. With galleries dotting the streets, and its historical theatre, Wells is an arts haven, so it’s no wonder that a number of North Okanagan musicians and actors make the journey up there every year. One of those artists heading to ArtsWells for the first time is Vernon singer-songwriter Carolyn Anele, who has been selected as the winner of the B.C. Musician Fred Penner Songwriting Contest. Anele has not only earned the opportunity to perform at the 10th annual festival, but will also attend an intensive workshop led by the contest’s namesake, The Cat Came Back children’s entertainer, Penner. “I’m honoured, delighted and excited to go,” said Anele, who leaves for the fourday workshop July 30 and performs on the first day of the festival Aug. 2. “Everything I’ve heard about (the festival) is that it’s wonderful.”

The contest was judged by B.C. songwriters Ross Douglas, Yael Wand, Bob Campbell and Karyn Ellis, who narrowed down the 45 entries from around the country to eight finalists, with the final selection being done by the producers of B.C. Musician Magazine. Anele earned the top spot with a song she wrote for her three-year-old son, Charlie. “It’s called I’m a Baby,” she said. “If he could have written the song, this is what it would be.” Born in Salmon Arm, Anele honed her songwriting into an art form living in Kelowna and more recently Vernon, where she has settled into family life, raising Charlie. It’s a rare occurrence, Anele says, to find the solitude to write these days, however, she manages to squeeze out whatever time she can get during the everyday activities of being a wife, mother and homemaker. “Family and music, it doesn’t get any better than that for me,” she said. Those precious moments, where she has found the time to write, are about to result in her first album since her 2002 debut The Harbour, and more recent four-song selftitled CD. Co-produced by Anele with Andrew and Zachari Smith of Lake Studios in Kelowna, the album, entitled Where Birds Sing, is expected for release in the fall. “I plan to correlate its release with some

Other local acts performing at ArtsWells this year including Barefoot Caravan (formerly Expression World Music Collective), DJ Grampa Gruv (Ed Walters of Fandango

Farms fame) and singer-songwriters Jayme McKillop and Mikkal Waters. Those planning a trip to Wells can check out the full lineup at www.artswells.com. More on Anele and her music can be found at www.carolynanele.com.

Lumby is open to the arts with new co-op and gallery Morning Star Staff

A new gallery, showcasing the works of more than 20 North Okanagan artists, has opened its doors in Lumby. The Village Gallery is run by the newly-formed Lumby Arts Co-op, with a mandate to give area artists an outlet to sell their work locally. The North Okanagan, and the Lumby/Cherryville area in particular, has long supported a strong and vibrant arts community which has been nurtured in part by the Monashee Arts Council, said co-op chair Robin Ledrew. “Under the wing of the council, artists in the region began envisioning ways to capitalize on the strong tourism industry in the area. A gallery was seen as a resource that would collaborate with other tourist-based businesses in the area and support reciprocal community development,” she said. A number of public meetings in the fall of 2012 resulted in the decision of 13 local artists to form the co-op. In January, the group began renting and renovating a space in the heritage building on Highway 6 in Lumby. The incorporation was completed in March and the gallery opened for business March 20, with an official ribbon cutting ceremony held in June. “Our goal is to promote the economic development of local artist and artisans in the area,” said Ledrew. “The gallery

What has emerged is a strong and dedicated group of artists with a passion to make this gallery work.”

A wide and complementary skill set has allowed the co-op to adapt to the many challenges involved in growing a new business. “The collaborative effort has been amazing,” said Dennis Schafer, one of the co-op artists. “We are successfully teaching each other the skills we need to operate this business including bookkeeping, inventory control, quality control, promotion, sales procedures and display techniques. When a new challenge is presented, there is inevitably someone in the group who has the solution.” The gallery, which is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. over the summer, displays work in a variety of media including paint, pottery, jewelry, ceramics, wood, leather and fabric.

Musician sets off on coffee house tour Kamloops artist Benjamin Bermiller hits two Vernon establishments Morning Star Staff

The song is all in how you deliver it, and in Benjamin Bermiller’s case, it doesn’t hurt to be wired on coffee to help move things along. The young singer-songwriter from Kamloops is about to head through Vernon, not once, but twice on his first tour, which he is calling the First Annual Coffee House Tour, as most of the shows take place in, yep, coffee houses around the B.C. Interior. “It is my first time playing in Vernon, and I would love to start a following there,” said the composer of close to 300 songs in the five years since he started performing music. Bermiller is one of those multitalented types. He’s a musician, poet, dancer, actor, writer, and magician, and constantly develops his creativity by performing in shows, concerts, and street performances. In 2009 and 2010, he performed as a dancer and singer in

the Canadian Cabaret series, organized and created by B.C. Living Arts. For the past 12 years, he has competed in the Kamloops Festival of the Performing Arts in the dance, voice, and guitar categories, yielding many awards and recommendations for his performances. In 2011, he helped found the band City of Sparks and went on to win the Revelstoke Music Festival Battle of the Bands. Opportunities arose from that accomplishment, including working with several highly-esteemed producers. In addition to those opportunities, Bermiller was featured in several competitions and radio shows and released a single with City of Sparks on the Kamloops Food Bank’s Feed the Soul album. Currently back to his solo work, Bermiller says he is more seasoned and centered in his own style, and is ready for his caffeinated stops through B.C. Bermiller first plays the Bean to Cup coffee house on 27th Street at 39th Avenue, Saturday before returning this way to perform at the Talkin’ Donkey on 24th Street, in the north end of town, Aug. 10. Both shows start at 7 p.m. and cover is $5.

A vocal tour de force

Sara Bareilles: The Blessed Unrest

y l F i un m a F DAY!

Sunday, July 28th, 2013

Special Rates: $10 per person or $25 per family

ew York piano-pop artist Sara Bareilles puts some bop into her empire state of mind on The Blessed Unrest, her fourth album. While there’s a certain urban backdrop to Bareilles’ songs (Chasing the Sun, Manhattan), the deceptively big-voiced singer/songwriter Dean Gordon-Smith lets the sunshine in, brightly. Although the lead-off track, Brave, has all the obvious hallmarks of a single, it’s soaring vocal hook has a deep message, a come-on-out-of-thecloset hit.

Other tracks on this vocal tour de force of an album are pop-smart love songs that hide their lyrical and musical integrity tastefully. It’s a recording that reveals more surprises than a first listens will allow. Bareilles’ songs have an evocative pull and the least radio friendly tracks are the dark horses here. Satellite Call is drenched in a backward-echo vocal that has restrained emotional weight – it’s an ethereal anthem. It shines darkly against other material, almost making the cleverly written lonely girl track, Little Black Dress, seem trite, which it isn’t. These tracks and Cassiopeia clue a listener into Bareilles’ natural gifts as a vocalist: she’s strong and clear and her sound is forceful but inviting. It’s her interpretive sense of singing off of and against herself that’s unique. She creates phrases and hooks that act independently as another instrument, free of the singer sensibility. This talent gives songs like Cassiopeia, Satellite Call and Islands another presence that elevates the music higher. The music on The Blessed Unrest is approachable and almost familiar, but never ordinary.

The fun continues in Enderby this weekend as the Enderby and District Arts Council presents Celtic quartet Cod Gone Wild, Sunday. Playing traditional melodic Irish, Scottish and Maritime music, Cod Gone Wild was formed in 2009 when Newfoundlander and lead singer/guitarist Andrew Mercer moved to the Okanagan. He brought with him a passion for traditional Irish and Newfoundland music, and over the past few years, the band has well established itself in the Valley. Recently named 2012 Best of the Okanagan award winners by readers of Okanagan Life magazine, Cod Gone Wild also features fiddler/vocalist Anjuli Otter, Chad Carter on drums and vocals, and bassist Roy Kawano. This free, family concert begins at 7 p.m. in Belvidere Park, near the bridge. Take chairs or a blanket, maybe a picnic. Call 250-838-6643 for enquiries.

Helping to fill the ‘gap’ cara brady

Morning Star Staff

Most people don’t think much about building accessibility until they or someone close to them needs it. “We have a friend in Ontario who had a biking accident and became a paraplegic and we learned about the difficulties he has in a wheelchair,” said Wanda Fisher. “He had a lot of challenges getting into places he needed to go, from work to restaurants. He is a structural engineer and he came up with a project to build portable ramps that businesses could use as needed. His goal is to bring the project, StopGap, right across Canada.” Wanda and her husband, Gary, have always been active community volunteers and they decided to help bring StopGap to Vernon. They have been asking for donations of materials and arranged with Venture Training to build the wooden ramps. The ramps will be individually designed (according to an engineering formula depending on the height of the step), for each business that orders one. “The guys in the program really like working with wood and we like to do things that

get us involved in the community with worthwhile things,” Garth Wells, program coordinator for the Venture Day Program (Vernon and District Association for Community Living). “We have been using a ramp at our thrift store. It turns out we needed one too.” Materials to get started with the ramps, which can be requested for wheelchairs, strollers, walkers or people with difficulty using stairs, are being made available free to businesses although a donation is appreciated. Donations of materials have come from Home Depot, Central Hardware/Tim-Br Mart, and Fisher’s Hardware. Paint is being donated by Cloverdale Paint. “The businesses that have the ramps available will have a sign in the window so they can be requested. This is a simple idea but it should help a lot of people. We don’t know how many are needed but businesses might even find uses for them inside their buildings to help their customers. We can see that the ramps might be useful in places like medical offices, as well,” said Wanda. Gary said they are pleased to be part of StopGap. “The response to StopGap has been unbelievable any-

Hold the right party accountable

ear Annie: I’m a very sad woman. I work and take care of my home and kids. My husband and I had trouble getting pregnant with the second child and after months of trying went to a fertility clinic. It was a difficult time, and I was not giving my husband all of the attention he needed. One day, he was at my friend’s house, and a female acquaintance of hers was there. This woman was in Kathy Mitchell & MarcySugar the middle of her own divorce, and she and my husband began a conversation. She told him if he wasn’t happy, he should divorce me and be happy for himself, instead of worrying about his wife and kids. My husband filed divorce papers while I was pregnant. Now the two of them are together, and he thinks I don’t know. What kind of woman thinks this is OK to do? I have two small kids and love my husband with all my heart. I know I have things to work on. Where is the respect for women out there? — Broken Heart Dear Broken: While we agree that women shouldn’t go after married men (and vice versa), you are blaming the woman when it is your husband who

strayed. He wanted an excuse to get out of his responsibilities, and she was simply the match that lit the flame. Please see a lawyer immediately so you can protect yourself and your children. Then ask your husband to go with you for counseling to see whether you can reconcile. But if he is determined to get out of the marriage, the counseling will help you develop coping strategies for the future. Your children need you to be strong and capable. Dear Annie: As a working mom, my schedule is tight. For several years, I have enjoyed a periodic lunch with a non-working friend where we catch up on our kids’ activities and discuss books or movies. Twice during recent lunches, her cellphone has rung, and in mid-sentence, she has picked it up and commenced chatting with the caller. I could understand if it were an emergency call from her son’s school, but I end up sitting there staring in silence at my lunch while she cheerfully talks about a trip to the beach. My husband thinks I should tell her that I find this disrespectful and rude, as well as insensitive to my time constraints. Instead, when she calls to set up a lunch date, I simply say that I’m too busy. I no longer think this “friendship” is worth my time. Am I wrong to cut her out of my life over this? — Disrespected

Dear Disrespected: It depends on whether she offers anything other than an absentee luncheon date. You are angry and looking to punish her. Decide whether you want the friendship to end or whether you simply want her to put down the cellphone. There is nothing wrong with asking her to make your lunch a “phone free” zone so you can concentrate on each other. If she refuses to turn off her cellphone and answers a call in mid-conversation, feel free to get up and leave, saying, “Obviously, you are busy. Perhaps I’ll see you another time.” Dear Annie: I am responding to “Outcast Sister,” who cares for her mom. It is terrible of her sisters to complain because she is getting paid for this. No one realizes how time consuming it is to watch a loved one. She should tell them to take a turn watching Mom, driving her to the doctor’s, and doing the laundry, housekeeping and bathing, and see how much time and effort it takes. I am one of 10 kids who took care of Mom on weekends when the caregiver needed time off. Her sisters should be grateful that she is willing to take this on instead of hiring a paid stranger. God bless her. — Enraged Reader Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737-3rd St., Hermosa Beach, Calif., 90254.

The Vernon Chapter of Habitat for Humanity Kelowna is asking people to consider addressing housing needs in the North Okanagan now and in the future. The volunteer-driven, charitable organization believes that home ownership helps families to lift themselves out of poverty, helping not only lowincome families, but improving neighbourhoods and communities. Habitat builds homes using volunteer labour and donated materials wherever possible. Each family selected volunteers a minimum of 500 hours of “sweat equity.” Habitat is encouraging North Okanagan residents to consider a planned gift, which is a way of leaving a legacy for the organization. It can take the form of a bequest, a gift of life insurance, securities or RRSPs. For more information, talk to your financial advisor.

4 Million Year Old Woman. (Nat. Geog.) Gen. 1:1: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” 6000 yrs. ago. However there was a previous creation, pre-existent for millions of years before the Adamic era. There are hints in the scriptures which indicate that our planet was inhabited by a race of beings anterior to the formation of man.
