Crash claims pilot
BUILDING EVACUATED

A late-afternoon fire Tuesday at the Capri Gardens apartments on 35th Avenue forced evacuation of the residents. As of The Morning Star’s press time, the fire had been contained to one top-floor unit, and emergency social services had been called in to help deal with the situation. The cause of the fire was still under investigation at press time. See Friday’s Morning Star for more information.
The B.C. Coroners Service has confirmed a Vernon man died following a plane crash Friday afternoon near the B.C.-Alberta border. Yves Rene, 62, was the pilot and sole occupant aboard a Cessna 182 float plane which had made a landing at Fortress Lake, an isolated high-altitude lake in Hamber Provincial Park west of Jasper, Alberta. The plane apparently crashed when Rene was taking off from the lake, and an emergency location transmitter signal came from the plane at 1:45 p.m. “When search-and-rescue personnel attended the crash site shortly afterward, they found Rene to be deceased at the scene,” said Donita Kuzma, regional coroner, Northern region, for the B.C. Coroners Service. The Coroners Service and Transportation Safety Board continue to investigate the fatal accident.
Lake swim raises safety awareness A group of swimmers is hitting the water to raise awareness of water safety in advance of the upcoming August long weekend. Team Awareness is a group of 10 endurance swimmers, led by Vernon’s Chris and Mel Spooner, plus members of Endurance Health and the Kal RATS. They will, starting at 6 a.m. Thursday, swim a continuous relay of Kalamalka Lake. The group will swim the 17.5 kilometres from Oyama to Coldstream with Kevin
O’Brien of Kalavida Surf Shop being the group’s paddleboard lead spotter. The idea was pitched by newcomers to the region, Tim and Dawn Johnson. Tim is an Ironman triathlete who trains with Vernon’s Mel Spooner. “They’re very aware of the accidents that happen on the lake, and water safety, and they just thought there should be some sort of awareness,” said Spooner. “I said I would be interested in this because, of course, I do think it’s an important thing. It’s not just about swimming and boats.
“It’s about people being aware of water safety.” Vernon Search and Rescue reports that since 2004, 23 lives have been lost to drowning, and that 20 of the victims were not wearing a Personal Flotation Device (PFD), and the other three were wearing a loose or poorly fitted PFD which is believed to have contributed to the tragedies. Vernon Search and Rescue would like to point out the five basic rules of safe water enjoyment of any lake or river, including the North Okanagan: ■ Always wear a properly fitted PFD;
■ Alcohol and boating don’t mix. Don’t do it; ■ Always swim with a lookout; ■ Keep an eye on the sky, weather can change quickly; ■ Always wear a properly fitted PFD. “Team Awareness will follow all rules of North Okanagan water safety and encourage all boaters and swimmers to do the same,” said Spooner. “By swimming the length of Kal Lake, we hope to bring the awareness that we want to use our lakes and want to be out there to enjoy them, and enjoy them safely.”

A golden challenge Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
In an effort to conserve water in our semidesert region, North Okanagan residents are being urged to Go Golden. Anna Anderson, a 17-year-old Seaton student, has created a contest for area residents who take the challenge to preserve water by letting their lawn go golden. “I know it’s a big thing to ask of people, especially people who are in a routine,” said Anderson of her Global Education project. The challenge is to not water your lawn for the month of August. Those interested in taking part can sign up with their name and address by emailing go.golden2013@gmail.com or register at the Golden Lawn Competition on facebook. “It’s a challenge to yourself,” said Anderson, who will award one winner a three-day retreat at La Casa Cottage Resort in Kelowna for next summer. The contest is confined to grass – residents can still water their crops and vegetables. As Anderson explains, grass is not actually native to our semi-desert region, yet residents still insist on having plush green lawns. But for the sake of preserving water, she urges the community to forgo the green appeal. “I know it makes some people uncomfortable. “But there should be no shame (in having a golden lawn).”
Many people also do not know that grass will go dormant in dry periods – turning golden but will come back healthy and green. The Regional District of North Okanagan is supporting Anderson’s efforts and invites residents to visit www.rdno.ca/water for tips on lawn and garden care that can save water and money. “It is encouraging to see a young person such as yourself taking an interest in community sustainability,” said Jennifer Miles, Water Sustainability coordinator, in a letter of support to Anderson. “Water is a critical resource for the long-term sustainability of Greater Vernon. All citizens have a role to play in using water efficiently and responsibly.” Throughout the region, water demand doubles in the summer primarily due to lawn and garden watering. Yet grass only needs 2.5 centimetres of water a week in the hottest part of the year to stay green. “We only need to use one-third of the water we use,” said Anderson, noting that Vernon is one of the worst water wasters in the province. Through her contest, Anderson will be collecting water-use data and hopes to see a dramatic difference in numbers. Therefore she is urging everyone to take part in the contest, even those who currently do not water their lawns, and those who even manage to cut back their water use drastically for the month.

Campfire ban in effect for long weekend
hectare blaze. “We received reports of it at eight (Monday) morning,” said Welsh of the blaze that was 100 per cent contained by 6 p.m. Armstrong resident Kenneth Buck reported the fire while having coffee on his verandah. “I am very impressed with how well and how quickly it was handled,” said Buck. A cause of the rank one fire, which was burning in heavy timber on the mountain side, has not been determined.

Tinder dry fire conditions have sparked a campfire ban, just in time for the long weekend. With all of the hot, dry weather recently, there is currently a high fire rating for Vernon (recently downgraded from extreme). Despite some rain in the forecast, outdoor enthusiasts won’t be able to gather around the campfire this weekend. “When we’re experiencing high to extreme ratings for several days that’s typically when we look at implementing a campfire ban,” said Melissa Welsh, Kamloops Fire Centre fire information officer. Even with rain in the forecast, forest fuels are very dry, explains Welsh. “So if there’s a wildfire it spreads very rapidly.” The campfire ban is in effect as of Thursday at noon for the entire Kamloops Fire Centre, which includes Vernon. Environment Canada is currently forecasting slightly cooler temperatures later this week

Couple sounds scam alert roger knox Morning Star Staff
A Vernon couple found out too late that instead of winning a U.S.-based lottery, they had been scammed. Don and Delores Ferguson, pensioners who live in a small Vernon apartment, were informed via a phone call on July 20 from a man named Mike Peterson that they had won $2.5 million and a car through the Chase financial institution and — Ferguson the Michigan lottery. “We didn’t really think anything of it but then a guy named David Blair started hounding us every hour. He even phoned at 6:30 in the morning two days in a row,” said an angry Delores.
“By the time we found out it was a scam, we couldn’t put a stop on the money.”
roger knox/morning star
Delores Ferguson holds the correspondence she received from scammers when told that she and her husband had won more than $2 million and a new car in a lottery. “He said he was going to deliver the car and that if he didn’t get the money, we wouldn’t get the money and he’d lose his job.”
The Fergusons were told to send money through Western Union, starting with small increments of $50 at first, then up to $350 for the registration of the vehicle and to have it fully insured. The last amount the couple sent the fraudulent callers was $1,350, which raised eyebrows at the couple’s bank. After they sent $2,487 total to try and collect on their supposed windfall, the Fergusons were informed by the bank that they had been scammed. “It all seemed feasible,” said Don. “The way they kept phoning. By the time we found out it was a scam, we couldn’t put a stop on the money.” The calls came from an 876 area code, which is from Jamaica. The Fergusons made copies of 12 pieces of fax correspondence they received during the scam, and have alerted the RCMP and Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. “It’s sad, and we could be putting out a warning about some kind of scam every day,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk, who said scammers will prey upon people’s emotions, particularly seniors.
Bizarre behaviour sparks warning roger knox Morning Star Staff
A butt-slapping man has attracted the attention of the Vernon RCMP. A 34-year-old Vernon woman called 911 Saturday at 1:30 a.m. to report a man was following her and had slapped her on the buttocks.
He reportedly did this three times in the area between Canada Safeway on 30th Avenue and 41st Street. There was no other form of contact, other than a bizarre statement the man allegedly made to the woman after she swore at him. “According to the woman, the suspect

Impaireds heat up for summer roger knox Morning Star Staff
With the hot weather brings more cases of drinking and driving for the local RCMP. Over the past week, one person was arrested for impaired driving. Thirteen drivers were given 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibitions (IRPs), another seven were given three-day IRPs. Add in the two drivers given 24-hour suspensions for alcohol and that makes 23 drivers dealt with by Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP officers for drinking and driving. Oh, and in the past week, another eight drivers were given 24-hour suspensions
due to drugs. “We know that predominantly the summer months are high with alcoholrelated driving, and the reasons for that are the warm summer weather and people going to the beach or having backyard barbecues,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. Statistics suggest that the busiest time for RCMP dealing with impaireds used to be at Christmas time, but since they began their CounterAttack programs aimed at catching impaired drivers, numbers have reduced significantly. CounterAttack campaigns are now held during the summer months as well. “That’s because of the number of
impaired drivers encountered by officers in the summertime,” said Molendyk. However, there was ray of good news in the region last week. Two officers from the rural unit are happy to report that it appears that residents and people travelling in the Enderby area are getting the message about drinking and driving as well as other driving habits. “On Saturday, from about 9:30 to 11 p.m., officers conducted an impaired driving road check on Kate Street at Polson Avenue in Enderby,” said Molendyk. “During that time they checked approximately 40 vehicles, and they issued no violation tickets.”
Boaters getting safety message roger knox Morning Star Staff
A month into full boating enforcement on the region’s bigger lakes and RCMP officers are noticing some positive changes. While charges for a number of boating infractions are still being issued, the numbers have dwindled significantly since the start of patrols at the beginning of July. “Officers working the water this summer are happy to report that a number of boaters are compliant and following the rules and regulations for safe boating,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.
Morning Star File photo
The RCMP have seen a decrease in boating infractions on area lakes. “It’s much better than when they started their patrols and found many boaters not compliant with the rules and regulations.” Recently, officers charged two people on Mabel Lake for not having a boat licence. A father was charged on Kalamalka Lake for allowing a
person under the age of 16 to operate a personal water craft (sea-doo). In this case, the boy was 12. Another father was caught by officers and charged for towing without enough seats on the personal water craft for all persons being towed. A mother was charged on

Okanagan Lake for towing a skier without at spotter and another adult was charged with operating a personal water craft without a boater’s license. “All of these offences carry a fine of $287,” said Molendyk. The RCMP district boating initiative continued on Shuswap Lake with a number of boaters being checked. Police charged a number of boaters for not having enough life jackets on board, no boater’s licence and towing a person without a spotter. Boating enforcement continues through the summer, and are also being conducted by conservation officers.

New hall opens for Grindrod Days richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Grindrod Days will take on special significance this year. As part of the festivities, the new community hall in Grindrod Park will be officially unveiled Aug. 10 at noon. “That’s when we will cut the ribbon,” said Herman Halvorson, with the Grindrod Recreation Association, which spearheaded fundraising of $400,000 and construction. “It’s been a real challenge to open the hall when you start with no money.” The ribbon will be cut by Mary Strilchuk, who has lived in the area for 90 years.
VOTE
The decision was made to construct a new hall because the old facility was in poor condition and inadequate to meet the community’s needs. “The event bookings are already coming in,” said Halvorson. “We will get our crib parties back this fall.” Grindrod Days runs Aug. 10 and 11 in the park. Both mornings start off with a pancake breakfast, and on the Saturday, the activities will include a flower show, lawn tractor races and children’s games. “There will be bands playing off and on throughout the event,” said Lindsay Kibbe, one of the organizers.
And some heated competition is anticipated during the tug-of-war contest. “There will be a team from Sweden,” said Halvorson. On the Sunday, there will be a church service and tractor races, as well as the always popular mutt show. “People can bring their pets — the biggest pet, the smallest pet,” said Kibbe. Kibbe is encouraging everyone to attend Grindrod Days and celebrate the community. “The event is entirely free. All people have to take care of is their food,” she said.

Let’s flex those mussels
nyone of a certain vintage will remember when Okanagan lakes were still largely devoid of a nasty intruder known as Eurasian milfoil. The non-native weed was first discovered in Okanagan Lake in 1970, and it soon spread to all main lakes in the valley. Unsuspecting boaters then helped the invasion by taking it to Shuswap and Mara lakes and elsewhere in B.C. Vast forests took root, virtually tickling anyone swimming overtop. Pristine beaches were soon covered in clumps of the soggy plants, a less than appealing visual for the tourists that swarm to the Okanagan every summer. Aggressive control measures have been underway since the 1970s, but milfoil has dominated and changed the landscape of the valley forever. However, the impact of milfoil will seem like a tea party if the zebra and quagga mussels arrive as Richard Rolke most experts believe is just a matter of time. “The clock is ticking,” Heather Larratt, an aquatic biologist, told the Regional District of North Okanagan board recently. Native to eastern Europe, the mussels first showed up in the Great Lakes basin in eastern North America in the 1980s and they have spread across the continent like wildfire since then. Water intake pipes and pumps have become useless, putting domestic water supplies in jeopardy. Bridges have been undermined and they produce toxins that kill fish and birds. In Lake Mead, Nevada, a fish hatchery had to be abandoned because the infestation of quagga mussels was overpowering. The fear is the mussels will hop a ride on a boat coming across the border into B.C. and flourish in the Okanagan’s calcium rich water, which is necessary to develop strong shells. And it’s those shells that could have the most visible impact on the public as they are

razor sharp. Imagine owning a home along the lake and being unable to walk through the sand anymore. What does that do to property values? When infrastructure, fisheries, tourism and property values are all added up, Larratt believes the mussels could cost the Okanagan $43 million annually. “If we were to compare it to milfoil, it would be like comparing dandelions to mountain pine beetle,” she said. Larratt, the Okanagan Basin Water Board and local politicians aren’t being alarmist when they talk about zebra and quagga mussels. There is enough evidence across North America to know what will happen when they get here. And the experts are realistic enough to know that isolating the Okanagan from the invasion is unlikely. At best, we can slow the arrival down and minimize the infestation. And while local players are doing their part through public awareness (dontmoveamussel. ca), they are getting virtually no assistance from senior levels of government. There has been a lack of interest from Ottawa in establishing inspections for any boats coming across the U.S. border and insisting the vessels be decontaminated. The provincial government has some measures in place but they are reactive instead of proactive. “Fining people (money) after the infestation is too late,” said Juliette Cunningham, an RDNO director. RDNO is pushing both the federal and provincial governments to ramp up their activities and to begin taking the mussel threat seriously. But regional politicians can’t do it alone. Contact MLAs Eric Foster, Greg Kyllo, Christy Clark and Norm Letnick, and MPs Colin Mayes, Ron Cannan and Dan Albas and let them know that they are required to start lobbying on the valley’s behalf. Yes there is a lot of cynicism about politics, but now is the time to get directly involved. After all, this is our home and we need to do what we can to ensure it continues to be a great place to live.
As the B.C. long weekend appears on the horizon it’s more than worthwhile to review ways to stay safe while enjoying all this province has to offer. July may go down in the record books as one of the driest in recent history, so obviously all of us need to be aware of the high to extreme fire rating in the North Okanagan, and the just announced campfire ban. Enjoy yourself in the great outdoors but be cautious when camping and observe all regulations in place to keep us, and our forests, safe. Lightning is also in the forecast so residents can be the eyes and ears for any reporting of potential blazes that can be accessed by fire crews. “We rely on people reporting,” said Melissa Welch, Kamloops Fire Centre fire information officer. The BC Wildfire reporting number is 1-800-6635555 or *5555 on a cell phone. And then there’s safety on the waterways. Authorities say boaters are getting the message about infractions and most are abiding by the rules of the lakes that are there for everyone’s safety. Have fun but be responsible and common sense should always prevail. Which brings us to the highways of the North Okanagan. Slow down and live is good advice for a weekend where some might be in a hurry to get somewhere. And, of course, there’s zero tolerance for drinking and driving and police enforcement will likely be out to make sure we all abide by that rule. It’s unofficially halfway through summer and it’s time to celebrate all this province and region has to offer, just do it safely and use common sense to ensure as many memories as possible are of the happy variety.

Debt clock points to bigger problem
Y
our July 5th edition showed a photo of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s mobile debt clock. It indicated that B.C.’s provincial government debt stood at $57.5 billion. Confusingly, the photo’s caption refers to it as the federal debt clock. I’d like to clarify a few issues that arise from that error. B.C.’s debt is indeed $57.5 billion and it costs B.C. taxpayers well over $2 billion to service that debt every year, even at today’s record-low interest rates. The federal government’s debt is now $616 billion and, according to StatsCan, costs Canadian taxpayers $160 million a day. Add the $600 billion owed collectively by the provinces and the $1.6 trillion of domestic debt – mortgages, business loans, credit card debt, student loans, etc. and you will see that it’s nearly three times Canada’s $1.3 trillion GDP – the value of our entire economy. And we still haven’t accounted for municipal government debt or $1 trillion in unfunded liabilities like CPP, EU and Medicare for which no funding has been set aside. We are in deep trouble and the subject should be top of every government agenda.

Governments are not telling us the truth about the seriousness of our debt problem and are doing taxpayers a great disservice when they suggest that what we are facing is merely a slow-down in the world economy. We are in fact facing a debt tsunami of global proportions and harsh solutions like raising taxes even further, cutting social
programs or selling off public assets are but Band-Aid attempts to delay the inevitable bankruptcy that stems from a debt curve now going ballistic, largely because of compounding interest. How do we ever get out of such a mess? Well, in biblical times, when lending at usury was considered a heinous crime, the simple solution to un-repayable debt
likes are not in this business of genetically modifying food to make friends and feed the poor. It is all about money and control - did I mention all about money? Why are bee populations dying off? Why is cancer on the rise? Why do so many more people suffer from allergies? It all starts with the food supply and you just can’t screw with nature on such a basic level and not expect there to be ramifications. A decade of use is not nearly long enough to judge the long-term effects this will have on future generations. By modifying the seeds and plants with an insecticide gene you eventually create a stronger class of super bug that will be immune to the poisons genetically bred into the plants. I have read lately that some of the “round-up” ready plants that have been created are not even responding to some chemical controls anymore. Where will we be 50 years from now, once heirloom varieties of seeds are completely eradicated and all we have are the lab-created seed supplies? Did you know that the farm-
ers can’t do their traditional seed harvest and for use again the next year when they use GM seed? It used to be a simple process, plant your seeds, grow your crops, harvest your crop and gather seed for the next year. Now they have removed a couple of the steps. What ones you ask? The gather seed process. When you start dealing with the GM seed they force farmers into buying high-priced GM seeds every year. I have relatives and good friends that are farmers and they say, “good luck” finding a GM-free seed - it’s out there but getting harder to find. If you want safe, affordable food for our children, grandchildren and yourself, go support the farmers market where you can find people concerned about the biodiversity of the area and what you eat. Maintaining biodiversity is important since every living thing plays a pivotal role in the circle of life we currently enjoy. So you make up your mind about GM foods. Are they doing it for us or them? B. Lutz
caused by money-lenders’ interest lay in declaring a Jubilee. Every 50 years, all debt was forgiven. Leviticus: 25 spells it out pretty clearly. The constitutionally based policies that guided Canada from the time of Confederation in 1867 to 1934 kept the nation on a virtual flat-line of debt. It was only after the right to create the nation’s money was usurped by the publicly owned but privately controlled Bank of Canada in 1935 that our debts started their meteoric rise. The answer looks pretty simple – return to government-created money administered and controlled by an accountable Minister of Finance and thus recover from the international banks the sovereign right bestowed upon our elected government by Section 91 of the Constitution Act. It’s time to face the simple fact that government debts are now absolutely unrepayable under our present fatally flawed debt money system and that our debt clock is somebody’s profit clock. With all 122 nations of the world in debt who do we owe it all to if not a faceless and flawed private banking system? It would be totally unconscionable to pass this burden on to our children unaddressed. Dennis milligan

Romancing the stone Kristoff Steinruck’s quest for limestone leads to the Marble Range and installation at Vernon Public Art Gallery Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Hazmat-suited humans climb up and down a gray and white chalky moonscape, their hands cupping angular chunks of rock. It’s a strange image that warrants a second or third look, making the viewer wonder “what are these people doing, and where is this place?” That’s exactly the reaction Kristoff Steinruck says he wants when he shows his multi-media installation, which consists of photographs, hand-carved stone elements, and a single channel projection video, at the Vernon Public Art Gallery starting Thursday. Entitled The Marble Range, the landscape and limestone within the exhibition looks like it was taken from outer space, but actually comes from a place not too far from the North Okanagan. And the rock tells a history that extends back to 300 million years ago. “I have a big interest in science fiction and the way time is portrayed in it,” said Steinruck, who is based in Kelowna. “Geological history is about deep time and is difficult to grasp: Think of stone formed by these little shells and then moving half way around the world, and then crumpled up into a massive jumble of rock. It’s that relationship with time and its relationship with the earth that I find fascinating.” This all makes a bit more sense once you see, and experience, the actual Marble Range portrayed in Steinruck’s exhibition. Known for its unusual karst (limestone) topography, the Marble Range is actually a protected B.C. park located near Clinton in the Cariboo-Chilcotin region. “When I first saw the Marble Range, it became clear that I could work with this area. I like to work in a site-specific manner either in the landscape and/or with it,” said Steinruck, “The Marble Range is not a well-known place. The trails are not well marked. To get there you have to drive down a dirt road. There’s not much of a profile

a still from the single channel video taken at marble range Provincial Park shows subjects carrying limestone from the range carved by Kelowna-based artist Kristoff steinruck. for tourism.” How Steinruck ended up there goes back to his days travelling and working around the country. Originally from Rossland, he worked in the dirt as a tree planter, and for a decade, between doing his bachelor of arts at UBC Vancouver and earning his master’s in fine art in Guelph, Ont., he was a photographer working for publications such as Maclean’s Magazine and The Globe and Mail. It was while in Ontario that he became interested in more threedimensional art forms and started sculpting. After moving to the Okanagan three years ago to be closer to family, he continued to work with the elements and in particular, rock. His interest in geology came to play in his last immersive installation, The Crystal Cave, which was based on an underground cave in Mexico and shown at the Kelowna Art Gallery last year. There, Steinruck literally built a cavernous space, using paper, drywall, styrofoam and other manmade materials, to show these white sculpted crystal “columns.” The installation also included a video component, which featured an extension to the cave where people dressed as scientists

worked in the space. Looking at one of Steinruck’s photographs from his Marble Range exhibition, it’s obvious the two shows are related, however, this time Steinruck says it was a natural element — the limestone — that informed his work. He had worked with the sedimentary rock, which resembles concrete offset with white chalky veins, before in southern Ontario and its vast deposits in the Niagara escarpment region (the city of Kingston, where Lake Ontario meets the St. Lawrence River, was also built on the stuff), and was purchasing the stone from a landscape supplier outside of Guelph. His quest to find limestone in B.C. resulted in little success at first. “I wanted to continue working with limestone and called around. No one had any. After more
research, and looking at geographical survey maps, I uncovered three places in B.C. with significant limestone deposits,” he said. The stone from a quarry on Texada Island, near Powell River, was too solid and gray, while another deposit in the Rockies was hard to access. And then Steinruck hit the mother lode, paying his first visit to the Marble Range. “I saw the mountains, and how beautiful and strange they looked compared to the rest of the geology in B.C.,” he said, adding he “stole” a piece of the rock to take back to his studio in Kelowna. There he carved the stone into a geometrical symmetrical shape based on the rock’s mineral composition of calcite and aragonite, which are the crystal forms of calcium carbonate. Steinruck also conducted
research on the stone and its geological history, enlisting UBC geology professor Kyle Larson to help him. Larson was familiar with the stone, as he had done field studies at a nearby deposit in Cache Creek. At his Vancouver lab, Larson cut the rock thinly and shone a light through it to see the crystals, and also get a better idea of the history within. It turns out the fossils consisted of tiny shells dating back 200-to-300 million years ago. “The shells came from a tropical island somewhere in the Pacific and moved through tectonic plates to its present location in North America,” said Steinruck, adding, “it was great to talk to someone not as an artist but as someone who has a relationship to the stone.” After carving the stone, Steinruck decided to bring the resulting sculptures, six in all, back to the range where they came from. He enlisted people, mostly performers, to carry each stone through the landscape, using his photographic and video skills to capture their rather arduous journey. “Taking people up and down the steep side of a mountain with a heavy stone sculpture weighing 50 pounds was a bit risky, but I discovered they had the same sort of reaction I had when I first went there. Seeing the landscape, and touching it was an amazing, moving experience.” Steinruck hopes viewers seeing the exhibition for the first time will have the same sort of reaction. “I am trying to put life into the sculptures and provide a narrative,” he said. “It was important for me to translate this place and the material found in the world around us and translate it into an artistic form and imbue it with a sense of experience and life.” The Marble Range opens at the Vernon Public Art Gallery along with three other exhibitions: Joanne Salé’s series of drawings on paper with a sculptural installation titled Connections; Marissa Brown’s suite of paintings, Friends and Lovers, and Artist or Artisan: Where is the Line?, a group exhibition featuring two and three dimensional works produced by the members of the Cherryville Artisans Association. All open Thursday with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. and can be viewed at the Vernon Public Art Gallery through to October. Call 250-545-3173 for more info.

Arts Artists make an impression Morning Star Staff
One is a “quiller.” The other draws and paints from nature’s tapestry. While the third is a student of art and spirituality. Together, they make for an explosion of colour and wonder at the Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum and Art Gallery, which is about to open its doors for its next set of exhibitions. As the administrator of the art gallery/museum, Sherry MacFarlane says one of the unexpected pleasures of going to work has been the opportunity to meet these talented and diverse artists. “The ones that come through the gallery’s doors are all so uniquely different, not only in their work, but in their lives, past and present, with all of life’s experiences influencing and shaping their work,” she said. “Some of the art has been profound, some whimsical, some educational, and all of it entertaining. The added bonus for me is that I not only get to see their work, but I get to know the artists.” Visitors to the gallery starting Thursday should have the same experience when the doors open to exhibitions by Mary Walker, Martha Moore and Carrie Harper, who all now call the Okanagan home. Ontario-born artist Walker recently retired to the Okanagan, with a history of travel in between. Through that time, she has developed her skills as a “quiller,” which is an art form that goes back to the 15th century and involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped and glued together to create decorative designs. “Mary’s show, Story in Repository, is not only a story about the art of quilling, but also how this ancient art form tells the story about ourselves,
nature and how history has influenced us and will continue to teach us about ourselves and the environment we live in,” said MacFarlane. Raised in Calgary, Moore has spent the last 30 years in Alberta and Ontario. Her background is in broadcast journalism and corporate communications. She credits her move to the North Okanagan’s Predator Ridge community as the motivation behind her shift from interpreting her world through writing to drawing and now painting. “Martha’s show, Nature’s Tapestry, represents the four elements of nature: earth, water, air, and fire,” said MacFarlane. “Through her chosen palette of strong earthy colours and textures, expressive strokes and mark making she captures the essence and qualities of these elements.” A mixed media artist living in Kelowna, Harper believes that art and spirituality are one and the same. Harper has recently built a cultural hub called heART school in Kelowna, where nine artists work from the space and countless musicians, poets and dancers visit and collaborate. In her art, Harper uses collage, paint, and drawing materials as well as other unexpected mediums. “Carrie’s show, Wave Guides and Apple Box Girls, is sure to demonstrate that art is the story of human connection and in our world how it sets culture, community and the hum of how we live,” said MacFarlane, adding, “Please join us in experiencing the world through their eyes.” All three exhibitions open Thursday with an artists’ reception from 7 to 9 p.m. The work is on view until Aug. 31.

Special to The Morning Star
Beef clubs in the B.C. 4-H program have become the most popular for the first time in several years, surpassing the perennial favourite, Horse clubs. Overall there are 2,264 members registered in 160 clubs with 604 volunteer leaders, a 5.4 per cent increase over 2012. Top Ten Projects

There are a total of 28 projects available through B.C. 4-H including self-determined, and Grade 11 and 12 students are also eligible for external high school credits, which in turn has been integrated into the 4-H scholarship selection process. Vancouver Island, the Fraser Valley and KamloopsOkanagan region combine to represent more than 75 per cent of all 4-H club activity in the province, with the other 25 per cent spread across five regions including a handful of Yukon-based organizations. Much of the growth has come on Vancouver Island where clubs have recruited new members and retained youth in their clubs. The Cloverbud program, which introduces six to eight-year-olds to 4-H before they reach project age, has been a big area of additional growth. True to its founding in 1914

Amelia Hofer, nine, of the Armstrong Beef 4-H Club, cleans the stalls at the Okanagan 4H Stock Show at the IPE grounds in Armstrong. in B.C. agriculture programs remain popular, with 81 per cent of 4-H members listing their location as farm or rural. Non-agriculture projects have been embraced by urban and rural youth alike with many clubs switching to a multi des-
ignation and having several projects within one club. Members can do more than one at a time, with some in beef and clothing, or horse and photography, at the same time growth in urban areas has been steady, including a
club at the University of British Columbia. B.C. 4-H will celebrate 100 years in 2014 and it appears the motto “Learn to do by doing” isn’t going out of fashion. Kevin Rothwell is interim manager of B.C. 4-H.
Weekend getaway planned for women Morning Star Staff
Local life coach Jodi Seery and Calgary author and speaker Sue Styles are teaming up to bring balance and rejuvenation to women’s lives with a women’s retreat at Sparkling Hill Resort this fall. “The Autumn Awakening Retreat at Sparkling Hill Resort is a girlfriends’ getaway for women who do too much,” said Jodi Seery. “We planned the retreat for the weekend of October 4 to 6 just before the Thanksgiving weekend and after the backto-school rush to give women the opportunity to recover and be rejuvenated for the holiday season, a time when women notoriously do too much. “In my practice one of the most common struggles women face is life balance. The resulting guilt and exhaustion that
comes from trying to do it all takes its toll on women’s health, well being, and relationships. The remedy is self care. While this may seem counterproductive or selfish, it is exactly the opposite. You cannot give what you don’t have. Giving yourself time, attention and care gives you the energy to give the same to your partner, children, family, co-worker and career. The more women look after themselves, the better able they are to look after others, the healthier they will be and the more fulfilling their life and relationships will be.” The Autumn Awakening Retreat is an opportunity for women to give to themselves. Seery and Styles have arranged for a welcome wine reception Friday evening, decadent breakfasts both mornings, a gour-
met lunch Saturday, presentations to renew energy, passion and perspective, access to seven aromatherapy sauna and steam rooms, the Serenity and Tea rooms, the Swarovski Sky, Therapy and Infinity pools, the Keiserequipped fitness studio and luxury stays in the opulent lake and mountain view rooms with an abundance of free time for women to schedule and take full advantage of the exquisite spa treatments at Sparkling Hill’s exclusive KurSpa. “We have a phenomenal weekend planned with lots of relaxation and laughter and we are thrilled that we have managed to secure it all at a rate less than just for two nights stay at the resort.” Today is the last day for special pricing of $399. Full details and registration can be found at JodiSeery.com.

Simple prep for summer
’ve been on a whirl-wind trip to Nevada to attend a conference over this past weekend. The conference itself was amazing but the transportation challenges getting there, while there, and for returning, were humongous and most frustrating. It’s left me drained, very tired, and with a need for comfort foods that will settle both the body and the soul. Summer foods like potato salad, corn on the cob, field tomatoes and cucumbers, served with fresh breads and cheeses fit the bill perfectly. Right now I want reciCathi Litzenberger pes that are simple, simple, simple; that take little time to prepare and no effort; like the recipes below. Tomatoes are luscious with basil and cheese, set in toasted ciabatta bread. Fresh corn on the cob is one of my favourites and if fresh corn is to your liking, you’ll enjoy the fresh corn salad below. It can be a wonderful go-to salad in the summer. You can substitute frozen corn for the fresh corn if you like, (for other seasons in the year) just don’t cook it. (Thaw and drain well before using in the salad so it’s crisp-tender.) Having said that, however, fresh is best! TomaTo Brie Basil sandwich 1 loaf ciabatta bread, sliced lengthwise 3 tablespoons softened butter 8 ounces brie cheese slices 6 red ripe tomatoes, cut into 1/3” slices
kitchen wit & wisdom
There will be live music, 50/50 tickets (drawn at 11am), and a grand prize draw. Come hungry to enjoy breakfast sandwiches, coffee, desserts, hot dogs and cold drinks.
Fresh Local Produce Now Available! And best of all, our vendors will be selling farm fresh eggs, local honey, vegetable and bedding plants, designer aprons, handmade soaps, T-shirts, Watkins products, homemade baking, and a wide assortment of beautiful crafts, artwork, pottery and décor. We are excited to welcome our newest vendors offering organic poultry, specialty teas and an all-natural insect repellant.
Helen’s main activity was the Crosswords … now she has other options to weigh. Staying active can mean many things. Playing cards with friends may be fun, but for circulation, flexibility and overall good health Helen needs more rigorous activities. At Chartwell we offer residents a mix of activities from musical presentations to card tournaments, as well as yoga and exercise classes for those looking for something a little more active.
Suites Available!
20 fresh basil leaves Spread butter on cut sides of ciabatta bread. Toast in toaster oven until butter melts and starts to sizzle. Arrange cheese slices on top half of bread; toast until brie melts. Make sandwiches with basil leaves, tomato slices, and bread. Put sandwich together, then cut into 3” segments. Press down lightly with your hand and serve immediately. Serves 6 fresh corn salad 6 ears of corn OR 16 oz. pkg. frozen corn, thawed and drained 1 green or red bell pepper, chopped 1 bunch green onions, sliced 2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped 1/2 cup sour cream 1/3 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped 2 Tbsp. garlic vinegar 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Salt and pepper to taste Husk corn and remove silk. In a large pot of boiling SUGARED water, cook corn for 1-2 minutes. Really, this short amount of time is perfect — you just want to heat the kernels. Place the corn in a bowl of ice water and let stand 3-4 minutes. Cut the corn off the cob using a sharp knife. Combine in a large bowl with green or red pepper, onions and tomatoes. In a small bowl combine sour cream, mayonnaise, basil, garlic vinegar, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Pour over corn mixture and toss gently to coat. Chill for 1-2 hours before serving.

ards can be designed to reduce the amount of water – and time – needed for maintenance. Xeriscape, a word derived from the Greek word “xeros” for dry, is gardening in a way that reduces the need for more water than what nature provides. In the Okanagan, 24 per cent of all our water is used on residential lawns and gardens – this is the second highest use after agriculture. By changing the way we design our yards and adopting xeriscape principles, we can significantly reduce the amount of water we use. The Okanagan Xeriscape Association (OXA) is a great local resource for xeriscape information. Among the many reasons to xeriscape, OXA suggests it can • enhance the value of your home; • save time with less watering, trimming, weeding and mowing; • save money with less water, chemicals and fertilizer; and • eliminate pesticide and herbicide use. You can create an amazing flower garden, choosing from 100s of plant species that thrive in the Okanagan. Find a fantastic database on the OXA site at http://okanaganxeriscape.org. There are seven principles to xeriscape. They are: 1. Planning and design: Know which conditions will influence water use (sun and wind exposure, slopes) and plan to group together plants with similar water needs. 2. Soil improvements: Use com-
post, peat moss, manure and other amendments to improve heavy clay or sandy soils that will better retain moisture and nutrients. 3. Plant selection: All plants need water while they are being established, but choose low water-variety items that can withstand dryness and high temperatures. 4. Practical turf: Reduce turf as much as possible, while retaining some for functionality. Consider overseeding remaining lawn with drought-tolerant turf which requires less water, and less mowing since it grows slower. 5. Efficient irrigation: Water deeply and less frequently. Handwater, or use soaker hoses and drip-irrigation that deliver water directly to the base of your plants. A healthy, mulched garden or lawn should only require one inch of water per week. 6. Mulches: Apply compost, wellrotted manure or wood chips to soil surface to reduce evaporation and moderate soil temperature. This can also help control weeds and erosion. Be aware that rock mulch can intensify heat on your plants, making it less suitable. 7. Appropriate maintenance: Sit back and relax. You’ll still have to mow, water, mulch and weed, but not nearly as often. Learn more at www.makewaterwork.ca, then “Take the Pledge” and enter to win $5000 in WaterWise yard upgrades thanks to KelownaGardens.com. Make Water Work is an initiative of the Okanagan Basin Water Board and its Okanagan WaterWise program.

Green MLA on coal and controversy
Art MArket
A
fter climate scientist-turnedGreen Party MLA Andrew Weaver had a taste of debate in the B.C. legislature, I asked him for his impressions on that and other issues. Excerpts from that discussion: TF: You did a study comparing burning all the world’s coal reserves and all oil reserves, showing how big coal really is. The federal government says that when you add up what’s actually being used in North America, carbon emissions from coal are about 30 times more than from oil. Now we have a symbolic coal export ban in Vancouver, which doesn’t apply to Port Moody or Point Roberts or Prince Rupert. Do you think there’s any significance to this? AW: There is no question that the biggest issue around is coal, because coal use is on the rise world-wide. Not in the United States, because they’re converting (power production) to natural gas. This is why American producers are saying, let’s ship it to Asia. California says no, Oregon says no, Washington says no. Vancouver says no, British Columbia, not sure. It’s pushing us to start thinking about what I think is going to be the greatest industrial revolution the world has ever seen, which is transformation of energy systems away from our combustion approach, which is essentially what we’ve been doing since we were in caves. We’ve gone from burning wood to now fossil
wood, and fossil plants and fossil algae, to a much more modern era of production of energy through natural means, solar, wind, geothermal etc. TF: Liquified natural gas. The NDP says they are absolutely in favour of that now. AW: I have questioned the economics Tom Fletcher of it from day one. There’s a market differential that exists now. There’s that small window because Japan is moving from nuclear to natural gas. But we’re way behind everyone else. TF: Thirty years ago, Japan played Australia and B.C. off for metallurgical coal. Those northeast B.C. coal mines are back up and running again, but you’re seeing a similar thing here? AW: Yes. And if we start shipping natural gas to Asia … the Asian price comes down, the North American price goes up. British Columbians haven’t been told that. TF: How has the legislature session been for you? AW:: I sit there and watch the two parties. Rhetorical question, condescending answer. Rhetorical question, condescending answer. And I hope more British Columbians watch this, because this needs to change. And I think it can change. TF: The NDP opposition decides when you and Delta South Independent Vicki Huntington get your occasional moments in question period? AW: Yes, and if I’ve asked it’s been no problem.
TF: Grudgingly no doubt. If the NDP had their way, the closest Green Party member would be in Holland. AW: (Laughs) Yes. Certainly not in North America. There’s this sense of entitlement within the NDP to the ‘green’ vote. And I sense that the B.C. Liberals very much like our existence, as being not
NDP. The reality is, we take as many Liberal votes, if not more. It’s because what it means to be ‘green’ has moved out of what the NDP view as green, which is a tree hugger. It’s kids going to school, talking about conservation, and going home to talk to their parents. That’s where our votes are coming from.
TF: Are you going to be found standing in front of a coal train any time soon? AW: No, never. They asked me to, and I said no, because I don’t believe in civil disobedience. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Lakers rally for 4-4 draw Morning Star Staff
Despite having home-field advantage at Marshall #2, Kal Tire blew a 4-0 lead and settled for a 4-4 draw with Lake Country in Kelowna Men’s 35+ Soccer League action Monday night. Kal Tire (9-5-1) went up 2-0 in the first half with Jesse Knight jumpstarting the attack on a steal off an errant Lake Country pass. Kriss Yargeau then scored on a cross by Rodney Goodchild. The Tiremen came out strong in the second half as Goodchild headed in a Graeme Magee cross to the back post. Kal Tire’s final goal came when returning veteran midfielder Ryan Leibel hit a low shot on a feed from John Duc. After that Kal Tire felt more like “the Vancouver Canucks” (in the words of coach Kai Tolpinrud) as everything went south. Lake Country forward James Cobal broke in to start their scoring. Cobal got the second goal on a penalty kick after keeper Chris Bader collided with a Laker on what appeared to be a 50-50 ball. A few minutes later, off a Lake Country corner, Kal Tire failed to clear the ball and the Lakers’ stopper pushed up to finish with the goal. The Lakers (9-5-1) levelled the score in the final minutes with a great 25-yard running shot that Bader had no chance on. Kal Tire has a week off with the B.C. long weekend and then travel to Rutland to play Enco Flooring on Monday, Aug. 12.

Revelstoke Stallions defender Kyle Buhler (4) gets a leg in on Vernon Turn-Key Controls Ltd. forward Mike Bennett during North Okanagan Soccer League action Sunday night at Marshall Field #5.
Nolan sparks Turn-Key Morning Star Staff
Turn-Key Controls shut out the Revelstoke Stallions 4-0 in North Okanagan Soccer League make-up action Sunday night at Marshall Field #5. With both sides fielding just one sub, there was little action early on in the sweltering heat, but young Mike Bennett opened the scoring for TurnKey when he fooled the Revelstoke keeper on a 20-yard strike. Andrew Pool put Turn-Key ahead 2-0 shortly after when be beat a defender and went short side. Turn-Key wasted little time adding to the lead in the second half when a shot from Taylor Horsting was cleared by Revelstoke into their own net. Evan Moore completed the scoring by taking a misplaced goal kick and rocketing it to the top right corner. Victor Gouchee was stellar for Turn-Key, earning the clean sheet with the Total Restoration Save of the Game in the final minutes. Defender Sam Nolan earned Nolan’s Pharmasave Man of the Match honours in his return to the lineup after a month in Vancouver. In Capri Insurance 45+ League action, the Vernon Liquor Store Stars drew 2-2 with Lake Country at Beasley Park. Lake Country had no subs and the Stars were looking for blood, but the Lakers clicked first on a goal by Steve Reston. The liquormen (6-6-2) countered on a hard shot by John Matejka that hit a defender’s elbow and changed direction en route to the goal. Lake Country (9-4-1) responded minutes later on a great cross by Steve Cox with a precision-like finish by Andrew Martin. Just before half, a penalty shot was awarded to
Lake Country and the Graeme Jenkins’ shot hit the post and the follow-up shot went skyward. The Stars wore down Lake Country with relentless pressure and Matejka delivered the equalizer. Vernon had a chance for the win after a Laker defender touched the ball with his hands as a hard shot off a corner was labeled for his face and he instinctively put up his hands to block the drive, taking a red card. Laker keeper Todd Ryder robbed Andy Whiston on the ensuing penalty kick with two minutes remaining, diving to his right. North Country Appraisals Kickers moved into second place with a 4-0 win over Big O Tire-TurnKey at Marshall #1. Matt Cherrille scored twice after nice feeds from Greg Bevandick and Lars Martens. Wil Kruiper and Floyd Ryan, with a late goal on a nice volley. added singles. David Gadd pocketed the shutout as the Kickers improved to 10-2-1. The 5-8 Ogopogos, low in numbers with several players at the World Masters Games in Italy, did well to improve their passing game, sticking to short passes and maintaining possession for as long as possible. Roland Riedstra had a couple of good chances, but Ogopogos’ keeper Yogi Kongsdorf, was the Kidston & Co. Man of the Match, making spectacular saves against the relentless Kickers’ attack. Props went to Volker Otto, Rob Ross and Leo Nadeau, who sparkled on defence and midfield, along with Parm Kler, who ran the length of the field several times. Kelowna Cantinas brushed back winless Bosman Accounting 1-0 at Marshall #5.

Vernon Canadians’ runner Erik Colwell steals third as West Kelowna Diamondbacks’ third baseman Tate Venier gets ready to make the catch during the Interior Pee Wee A Baseball Championships semifinal Sunday morning at Creekside Park.
C’s sweep Interior crown Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Canadians go into the B.C. Pee Wee A Baseball Championships Thursday in Surrey (first game noon versus TBA) as the Interior Zone top seed. The C’s stopped Penticton 20-9 in Sunday’s final at Creekside Park. Vernon finished 4-0 and and outscored their opposition 75-21. Shelby Porteous, Chris McIntosh and Alyssa Racine shared the pitching duties in the final as the C’s pulled off their third mercy win of the six-team tournament. Vernon scored twice in the second inning off RBI by Porteous and Racine. Vernon exploded with five runs in the third, fueled by a two-run double by Brady Beacom and an RBI double by Maguire Lauridsen. Hayden Lewis came off injured reserve and singled in the second and scored on a Lauridsen RBI single which was followed by another RBI single by Kohl Cherkowski. The fourth inning saw a double from Matt Hansen over the center fielder, clutch hitting by Lauridsen and Cherkowski and a grand slam from game MVP McIntosh. Defense was once again stellar in the early innings, highlighted by diving catches at short by Lauridsen and Hansen at second, an awesome throw from first by Racine to home with Eric Foufoulas making the block and the tag, and Ethan Eisenhauer from right field in the second and left field in the third. The C’s are coached by Mike Lewis, Eric Foufoulas, Ernie Cherkowski and Kevin Porteous, It was a defensive battle through the first three innings before Vernon rallied to brush back West Kelowna Diamondbacks 9-2 in Sunday morning’s semifinal to qualify for provincials (top-two teams advance). Game MVP Eisenhauer mowed down six runners and allowed just one run in three innings on the mound. Ryan Gamage came in to finish the final four innings. Both pitchers got prime-time defensive support. Lauridsen, at short, gunned out a runner at first with a throw to Gamage, while Beacom nailed a runner trying to steal third with McIntosh making the tag. Gamage and McIntosh both singled and Beacom registered a walk allowing Racine to get the first RBI of the game for Vernon. In the third, both Hansen and Lauridsen singled. Landen Harison speared a hard liner for the third out in the fourth and made a diving catch in centre in the fifth. McIntosh snagged an ugly hop at second and made the throw to Racine at first for the second out in the fourth. Vernon opened it up offensively in the fifth with Beacom, Foufoulas, Eisenhauer, Hansen, Racine, and Lauridsen scoring runs. Vernon played shutdown-defence in the sixth with third baseman Erik Colwell leading the way with a rifle arm. It was a full team effort in Vernon’s tourney opening 30-6 ambush of the Rutland Rockies Saturday morning.
Garry Heathcote connected on a great shot to the right top corner of the Bosman net after he picked off an errant low goal kick by keeper Greg Thalheimer. Ringo-En Orchards Man of the Match Kerry Correia just shot side on two breakaway attempts and Bosman came close on two corner ball scrambles. Rod Maclean filled in nicely in net for the 4-9-1 Cantinas. League-leading Browns Benefits cruised to an 8-0 victory over the Rented Mules on a sizzling 36degree Okanagan night at Mission 71 Park. Grant Campbell opened the scoring early with a header after a Darryl Hazell corner. Shortly afterwards, Lionel Hoffman headed home Campbell’s corner. Larry Kinakin scored a Ronaldo-esque goal when he picked up the ball on the wing and dribbled into the middle before curling a great shot into the far corner. Don Brown completed the first-half offence with a 20-yard laser to the top corner. Jim Kruiper squeezed a shot through the legs of Rented Mule keeper Blair Forrest to start the second-half scoring, followed by a crafty free kick from Dante Zanatta putting Hazell in on a breakaway which he calmly converted. A header from Scott Sieben and a long-range effort from Colin Burton completed the scoring for the 13-0 Browns. The Mules dipped to 2-10-1.
Big deal for Ferster Black Press Sports
Vernon Canadians pitcher Ethan Eisenhauer fires a fastball during the Pee Wee A zone baseball semifinal Sunday morning against the West Kelowna D-Backs. Every player had at least one hit and scored at least twice. Colwell gathered six RBI (11 total for the weekend) including three off a monster shot beyond the centre field fence, and came in to close things on the hill. Maguire Lauridsen was the game MVP going 4-4 and making great defensive plays from shortstop and centre field. Gamage, McIntosh and Harison were also 4-4. Cherkowski scored three times and was also given duty on the mound. Vernon grounded Salmon Arm 16-4 later Saturday with Gamage marvellous on the mound for three innings and assisting on four outs to first. Porteous struck out four and allowed only one run in relief. Beacom took MVP honours for his catching and an awesome home run over the left field fence. Eric Foufoulas also contributed to the stellar defence behind the plate and making an outstanding behind the head catch in right field. Lewis contributed a run and great defensive plays at second. Players, coaches and parents cooled off in between games at the nearby Racine Resort Pub, Pool and Spa, operated by Ron and Lisa Racine. The provincial tournament runs until the championship final Sunday afternoon.
Rylan Ferster plans to be in West Kelowna for the long-term. The B.C. Hockey League’s Warriors this week announced the signing of the 44-year-old head coach and GM to a five-year contract extension. In two seasons with West Kelowna, Ferster has posted 52-42-6-16 regular season record, and guided the Warriors into the Interior Conference final for the second time in club history. “I’ve been fortunate enough to coach in the BCHL for a long time now,” said Ferster, who coached previously in Victoria and Salmon Arm. “West Kelowna is obviously a great place to coach, and one of the premier franchises in the league. Ferster was a forward with the 1990 Centennial Cup champion Vernon Lakers. “We knew what we were getting when we initially signed Rylan in 2011,” said owner Mark Cheyne. “He is great for the team, the community, and the franchise.”

Canadian Golf Hall of Famer Doug Roxburgh opened up his B.C. Senior Men’s title chase in style, posting a 5-under 67 Monday to take a four stroke lead at the Eaglepoint Golf Resort in Kamloops. The Vancouver resident and Marine Drive Golf Club member came into the round following a Kelowna Ogopogo Invitational senior men’s title. After opening with two birdies and one bogey on his outward half, Roxburgh proved why he has claimed a record 13 B.C. Amateur titles in his masterful amateur career by closing with two birdies and a par-5 finishing eagle for an inward 32, five-under 67. “I chipped and putted really well today. I chipped in once, made a 30-footer and then made a long one

Activity Horoscope By Bernice Bede OsOl
An interesting change in your social life could be in the offing in the year ahead. You might meet and become involved with some rather eccentric individuals who will be considerably different from the old pals you’re used to. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Certain things that are significant to you might not be of equal interest to your friends. Pushing your opinions on them regardless of this fact could make them feel very uncomfortable.
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. 111202 4

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Guard against a strong inclination to force rules and directives on your co-workers that you would never follow yourself. Set a good example and remember to be reasonable. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) There is a high probability that you could form a strong attraction to someone that is likely to end just as abruptly as it begins. Do your best to see people for who they really are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Things should go rather smoothly for you, provided you’re not too indecisive. Think ahead as much as you can and stick to the plans that you make. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A poor attitude generally brings bad results, and today will be no exception. If you treat distasteful tasks resentfully, chances are you’ll end up having to do them all over again.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Someone who is skilled at uncovering information that should be kept private may get you to reveal something that you promised to keep to yourself. Be on your toes. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may find a frivolous activity intriguing, despite its high cost. You’re likely to take part, so you need to make sure that you get your money’s worth. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) When promoting an interest of yours, be careful how you behave in front of others. Your image is a bit fragile, and you wouldn’t want to appear selfish. CANCER (June 21-July 22) This is not a good day to debate controversial issues. You’re prone to blurting things out that would be better left unsaid, and you could even say something that would leave a lasting scar.

Bridge by Phillip Alder IT IS BEST TO BE LUCKY AND GOOD Some advertisements make interesting claims. For example, have you seen the one for a golf rangefinder that promises you will play better if you use it? Why will knowing the exact distance to the pin improve your swing? Yes, it is nice to feel confident that you are using the right club, but you must still execute the shot correctly. At the bridge table, you can count winners and losers, but you must still execute the trick sequence correctly. In today’s deal, how should South try to make six hearts after West leads the club queen? North responded with a
game-invitational limit raise. South bid what he hoped he could make. Declarer has a spade loser and an uncertain trump suit. Obviously, after winning trick one with his club ace, the honor from the shorter side first, South should cash his heart ace to find out that situation. If the king drops, everything is easy-peasy. If an opponent discards, the contract is hopeless. Here, though, both opponents follow, but the king does not put in an appearance. How can declarer avoid losing a spade trick as well? There is only one chance -- the defender with the heart king is short in spades. South should cash his two top diamonds, cash his spade ace, lead to dummy’s spade
king, take the club king, and ruff the third club. With the partial elimination complete, declarer leads a trump. Here, West must return a minorsuit card. Declarer ruffs on the board and sluffs his remaining spade. If you are good, you will get lucky -- in bridge and golf.

MEDYNSKI, Stanley Stan passed away peacefully on Saturday, July 27, 2013 at Polson Residential Care. He was 92 years old.
Having arrived in Canada from Bobrika Poland at the age of ϵ, his family seƩled into farming at Wembley AB unƟl their move to Vernon BC (Swan Lake area) in 1936. He worked with his family on the farm and hauled produce to Bulmans Cannery for neighbouring farmers in the summer months, then hopped the freight trains to Vancouver to Įnd work in the winter. On May 13, 1945 he married Nancy Kury and conƟnued to live in the Swan Lake area unƟl approximately 1947. /t was then he found his passion in life, sawmills. He built his Įrst sawmill in Trinity Valley and moved his family to Coldstream. He conƟnued his work in the logging campsͬ sawmills for many years unƟl building the White Swan Motel at the Kamloops juncƟon on Hwy 97 north of Vernon in 1957. AŌer compleƟon of the motel, Stan returned to the logging industry building and maintaining sawmills for Walter Enquist in Sicamous, Paul Dumont at the head of the lake, Blue River sawmill, Schmidts Logging in Lumby and Gorman Brothers in Westbank BC wherein he reƟred at age 65. Stan now found his second passion, Įshing. Although his wife could ouƞish him, he was never discouraged and they spent many years in their camper and 14’ Įshing boat out on the waters of lakes around Alaska and B.C., his favourite being Mica Dam north of Revelstoke. And during the winter he oŌen headed out on his ‘scooter’ to hunt Moose. Apart from his passions, Stan spent many hours assisƟng in the building of churches and summer camps for the Pentecostal Mission. He could be counted on to Įgure out how to install the beams or the inŇoor heaƟng. Stan proved to be very clever at solving construcƟon issues or building campers and equipment without a blueprint. Stan was predeceased by two brothers, Bill and Archie. He will be missed by Nancy, his wife of 6ϴ years, three children, Bob (Barb), Jim (PaƩy) and Judi (Marshall), ten grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. Our family would like to thank the staī at Polson ResidenƟal Care for the care and compassion shown during his stay. They are truly in our hearts. The CelebraƟon of Life service will be held at the Vernon &ull Gospel Church, Okanagan Lake Road on Thursday, August 1st, 2013 at 10͗30 am. Arrangements are in the care of Vernon &uneral Home 250Ͳ542Ͳ0155.
