Landfill to be transformed into park JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

MP Colin Mayes (right) sends his frisbee towards the basket in a game of disc golf with MLA Eric Foster and Regional District of North Okanagan vice-chair Rick Fairbairn Wednesday at the old Pottery Road landfill, which is being transformed into a recreational park. Wade Racher, with Disc Golf Vernon, whizzes his frisbee towards the mark. “It would replace the existing hazardous waste roundup which is about $80,000 a year,” said Fairbairn of the depot which could collect styrofoam, flourescent lights and other hazardous materials. ■ $100,000 – replacement of the old Enderby/Armstrong BC Transit bus (expected to arrive in the fall of 2013) ■ $250,000 – Official Community Plan regional context statement – coordination of regional policies for regional growth strategy (expected to wrap up July 2015) “This whole suite of projects, from the Pottery Road facility and the Eco Depot to the new Enderby/ Armstrong bus is helping us to do our bit for a healthier envi-

ronment in the North Okanagan,” said Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster. But the addition of disc golf to the community is something those involved in the sport are most excited about. “This sport is picking up rapidly everywhere,” said Andrew Best, a Falkland resident with the Kelowna Association. Along with being a sport that doesn’t take a lot of time or money to be part of, it’s also not restricted to spring/summer play. “We play in the winter – we tape a piece of flagging tape to the bottom of the disc and at night we have little LED lights and we also have glow in the dark discs,” said Best. 2013 TOYOTA

What was once a dumping ground for the region’s garbage is being transformed into a place for all to enjoy. The old Pottery Road landfill, which ceased operation in 1986, is finally being officially closed and in its place will be a recreational park. The $1.8 million project will see construction of a bike skills park and disc golf course in 2015 (at the earliest). It’s an exciting announcement for those involved in the popular new sport, who currently have no public courses to play on in Vernon and have to travel to Kelowna to play. “We’re looking forward to having another course that we can come and play at that is close to our community,” said Paul Brownfield, a Vernon resident with the Kelowna Disc Golf Association. And there could be more to the park. “It’s not complete yet as to what all the amenities will be here,” said Rick Fairbairn, Regional District of North Okanagan vice chair. The park is one of five regional projects aimed at lowering greenhouse gas emissions and creating cleaner air and water. Each of the projects is made possible thanks to $4.15 million in federal gas tax funds. “We’re only bringing your tax money back to you,” said OkanaganShuswap MP Colin Mayes of the permanent fund that is fulfilled through five cents of every litre of gas purchased. “We feel that money spent in your communities is going to boost economic growth and create jobs in the area.” The other gas tax funded projects on tap are: ■ $1.9 million – Greater Vernon Recycling and Disposal facility gas management system (2016 utilization) ■ $100,000 – Eco Depot on Birnie Road (total cost $200,000, options being examined in September)

Fire crews unite to tackle grass fire Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

A grass fire, sparked in a field at the Head of the Lake Tuesday evening, received ample attention to snuff it out. The blaze broke out near Highway 97, between Westside and Head of the Lake roads, around 6 p.m. Three different fire departments – Okanagan Indian Band, Armstrong-Spallumcheen and BX-Swan Lake – were called to the blaze, which had multiple hot spots throughout the acreage of dry grass and weeds. “We were called out because it was very large and they (OKIB) had limited manpower and there was threat of it spreading into Spallumcheen lands,” said Armstrong-Spallumcheen fire chief Ian Cummings. Crews worked together to douse the flames and keep them from spreading to a nearby home as well as the adjacent Desert Cove subdivision. “It went down pretty good but it could have gone, with the embers, toward Desert Cove,” said Captain Mike Doherty of the OKIB Volunteer Fire Department. “It was fairly close to the home but it was going away from the home.” It’s unknown how the fire started in the approximately six to seven acre field near the old go-kart racetrack. “We would like to thank ArmstrongSpallumcheen and BX-Swan Lake for their assistance,” said Doherty. Visit www.vernonmorningstar.com for a video of the fire.

Armanious among Order of B.C. recipients roger knox

Morning Star Staff

Finley Armanious, in a word, was shocked. The retired Vernon doctor was still searching for the right words after being informed Wednesday he was one of 13 people being named to the Order of British Columbia. Armanious “As you can imagine I was very surprised and quite taken aback,” said Armanious, 86, who started work as an intensive care physician at Vernon Jubilee Hospital in 1979. “It is a great honour. The highest honour I’ve ever received.” Armanious, who performed other medi-

cal duties aside from working in intensive care, was also a tireless fundraiser for the hospital, mainly through the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation. The Order of British Columbia announcement was made by Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon. “The Order of British Columbia is the province’s most prestigious accolade and is an official part of the Canadian Honours System,” said Guichon. “It is an opportunity to publicly recognize those who have dedicated themselves to bettering the lives of their fellow citizens. “These recipients exemplify the positive difference one person can make in a community and are an inspiration to all British Columbians.” Of the 13 recipients named to the order this year, 11 are from the Lower Mainland. The only other Interior recipient, beside

Armanious, is Charles Jago of Prince George, a leader in education, economic development and the arts. Wendy Grant-John of Vancouver, a First Nations economic and community leader, is a former resident of Tachie, outside of Fort St. James, in the province’s north-central region. “The Order of British Columbia recognizes remarkable accomplishments by extraordinary British Columbians,” said Premier Christy Clark. “This year’s recipients have each made a difference in their communities and to the province.” Recipients of the Order of British Columbia have been selected by an independent advisory committee from public nominations. The Order of British Columbia investiture ceremony will be held for recipients

and invited guests at Government House in Victoria sometime this fall. Since the order was first introduced in 1989, 345 people have become members.

DISTRICT OF COLDSTREAM NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING A Public Hearing will be held on Monday, August 12, 2013, at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the Municipal Hall, 9901 Kalamalka Road, Coldstream, BC, pursuant to the Local Government Act, to consider the following bylaw: District of Coldstream Zoning Bylaw No. 1382, 2002, Amendment Bylaw No. 1632, 2013, Amendment No. 38 Properties: • Lot B, Sec. 24, TP9, ODYD, Plan 33707 • Lot 1, Sec. 24, TP 9, ODYD, Plan 13187 • Lot 3, Sec. 24, TP 9, ODYD, Plan 20469 (except Plan KAP70220) • Lot 2, Sec. 24, TP 9, ODYD, Plan 20469 • Lot A, Sec. 24, TP 9, ODYD, Plan KAP71964 • Lot 2, Sec. 24, TP 9, ODYD, Plan 7739 • Lot 1, DL 57, ODYD, Plan 18463 • Part 0.50 of an acre more or less of Lot 46 shown on Plan B4030

Fire ban in place Morning Star Staff

As of noon Thursday, the City of Vernon bans fires of any size, including campfires, fires with a special permit and industrial burning, fireworks, tiki torches and burning barrels. This ban applies to all areas of the City of Vernon including the Foothills and Blue Jay subdivisions, Predator Ridge, Canadian Lakeview Estates and Okanagan Landing. This ban will remain in place until further notice, and is also being observed by all North Okanagan communities and the Kamloops Fire Centre. The ban does not apply to metal, ceramic or masonry barbeques with a grill and an enclosed flame fueled by propane or briquettes which is being used for the purpose of cooking. “We are putting this ban in place to help protect public safety and follow the request of The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations who has rated the fire danger rating as extreme,” said Lawrie Skolrood, deputy fire chief for Vernon Fire Rescue Services.

been estimated at $3,000/annually. But if the district is going to look after the site, one councillor suggests getting the government to gift it over. “This is such a focal point for the City of Vernon, Area B and Coldstream, it’s an entry point,” said Coun. Maria Besso, adding the

Kalamalka Secondary graduates have a tradition of using the site for photos. But taking over the site could cost the district even more. “If we actually obtain that property, in the winter you have to send someone up there to plow it and right now the ministry plows it,” said Coun. Gyula Kiss.

Coldstream is on the lookout for some provincial assistance in keeping a popular viewpoint free of garbage, weeds and graffiti. Coun. Doug Dirk recently took it upon himself to hack down some of the overgrown weeds at the Kal Lake lookout (off Highway 97). “It is a destination and view that has branded both Kalamalka Lake and the Coldstream Valley for 70 years,” said Dirk, in correspondence with the Ministry of Transportation. “Tour buses, locals, travellers and tourists make it a regular stop to enjoy the views.” The district is hoping the province can step up its maintenance of the area (since it is owned by the ministry). “They look after the infrastructure they have (road and garbage cans),” said Michael Baker, Coldstream’s director of engineering services. “What they don’t do is any weed eating and they don’t remove any graffiti on any personal property such as signs. “They’ve identified Kal Lake lookout as a layover or a pullout and not as a viewpoint.” Despite the fact that there are signs along the highway promoting the stop as a viewpoint.

Questions regarding this bylaw may be directed to Mike Reiley, Director of Development Services, at 545-5304, by fax to 545-4733, or by email to planner@district.coldstream.bc.ca. The bylaw and supporting documentation may be inspected at the District of Coldstream, 9901 Kalamalka Road, Coldstream, BC, up until 4:30 p.m., Monday August 12, 2013, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding statutory holidays. If you believe your interest in property is affected by this bylaw amendment, you shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the above-referenced bylaw. We request that written submissions, emails and faxes be received by the District prior to 12:00 noon on Wednesday, August 7, 2013. In addition, if submissions are being transmitted by email for Council’s consideration, the email must be addressed to info@districtofcoldstream.ca.

An oxygen tank left on in a bedroom is believed to have helped start a fire in a top-floor unit Tuesday afternoon at the Capri Gardens apartments on 35th Avenue. Vernon deputy fire chief Lawrie Skolrood said it’s believed the leaking oxygen found an ignition source and started smouldering in a mattress in the bedroom. Vernon Fire Rescue Services were able to contain the blaze to the bedroom, which suffered smoke and water damage. One of three occupants of the suite was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital for precaution. The building was evacuated as crews worked on the fire. It was the second fire in the building since March.

An aggressive male deer has been causing some issues at a Coldstream park. Conservation officers have received reports about the buck at Sovereign Beach on Kal Lake attacking people

Nobody has been hurt by the buck, but it has reportedly been chasing people, including young children. Officials believe the reason for the buck’s aggression is that is has become accustomed to being fed by humans, which is a no-no.

“Deer will pretty much adapt to eat anything, bread, sandwiches, junk food, they’ve even been known to be in garbage cans,” said Cuthill, whose role is to help educate the public about area wildlife. “Do not approach deer or any wildlife. In this case, it appears the buck has gotten habituated because people have been feeding it and petting it, and it’s gotten way too comfortable around people. “Do not approach and do not feed the buck. It may not end well for that deer.” For more information, you can contact Cuthill at 250-306-2286, or e-mail her at vernon@ wildsafebc.com.

Ranch hosts cowboy fest

News

Morning Star Staff

It has been a tradition through the years and this year is no exception as the Historic O’Keefe Ranch celebrates its 146th birthday with the 18th Annual Summer Cowboy Festival. This year’s festival promises to be a lot of fun for the whole family. The event goes Saturday and Sunday. The focus is on the working cowboy, as in the days when the O’Keefe Ranch was a working cattle operation – one of the largest in the Interior of B.C. Ranch rodeo, the Working Cow Horse Competition, the reata long-throw contest, a cowboy barbecue as well as western music and cowboy poetry are all found at this year’s festival. Watch as real working cowboys show their skills in the rodeo arena as teams from ranches throughout B.C. compete against each other in timed events such as team branding, calf doctoring, the wild horse race, cattle penning and loading, using the skills unique to their daily work. Each team tries to outperform the others for the honour of earning the title of Top Hand and winning the coveted prizes of silver bits and spurs. Each day of the Summer Cowboy Festival starts with the Working Ranch Horse competition. This event demonstrates how a cowboy and his horse work in harmony. The reining components and cow work of this event will be judged by Miles Kingdon, Cow Boss of Merritt’s Quilchena Ranch. Following the Ranch Horse contest there will be a stock dog demonstration by well-known dog breeder and handler Bob Stephens. Prepare to be awed as Stephens puts his well-trained border collies to work herding sheep. The ranch rodeo will commence after a grand-opening ceremony with local dignitaries. Throughout the day, drop by the Pavilion to hear western music by Matt Johnston and Dave Longworth’s cowboy poetry. And be sure to take advantage of the refreshments offered at the beer garden and concession. Once the ranch rodeo action is complete the cowboys will display their skills at throwing a lariat in the reata long-throw competition. “This is really the backbone of a cowboy’s skill,” said Rob Dinwoodie, one of the festival committee members. “Each year the distance gets further with accurate catches at more than 50 feet.” A cowboy barbecue will be served in the Pavilion by the Cattleman’s Club Restaurant at 5 p.m. Saturday, followed by a barn dance at 7 p.m. For those who enjoy attending church, a cowboy service will be held Sunday at 9 a.m. at St. Anne’s Church on the ranch site. Each day, pony rides and activities will be available for kids and stagecoach rides will be offered to help guests get into the cowboy spirit. Tickets are available by contacting the ranch at 250-542-7868 or visit Okeeferanch.ca.

The $800 apple

ears ago I started planting fruit trees in the back yard. I planted five different kinds of apple trees, a cherry and a pear. The next year, I planted five different kinds of apple trees, a cherry and a pear because the deer had eaten the first batch down to the nubs. I bought wire fencing and made cages around each new tree. The following year, I planted five different kinds of apple trees, a cherry and a pear because the deer just leaned over the fences and ate the saplings. Jim Mullen The next year, I used taller, stronger wire fence cages. It kept the deer out, but not the rabbits, who nibbled the bark off the bottom of the trees and killed them. The next batch of trees I fenced in with deer- and rabbit-proof fencing. The tent caterpillars arrived in June and spent the next month eating every leaf. The next batch caught some kind of rust or mold and all the leaves fell off. The next batch got backed over by the guy who delivered the shingles for our new garage roof. One year they all just died, and no one could figure out why. Was it too wet in June or too dry in July? I’ve been at this for 10 years now. I refuse to give up. Why should farmers have all the fun? And my perseverance has paid off. This year I will get my first homegrown apples. Granny Smiths. Two of them. They are still on the tree and nothing has eaten them yet, but there’s only a month and a half to go before I have to hire a picking crew. Right now they are about the size of golf balls. When you add it all up – the fencing, the root stock, the time I put in – it will probably only cost me about $800 per apple. But next year I might get four more apples, dropping my per-apple cost down to $266. A significant savings.

Of course, until my trees start supplying all the apples I need, I still have to buy them at the store. If I add in that cost, I may never break even. You may think that the human vs. deer standoff has been going on forever, and that I should just deal with it. But while doing some historical research in some hundred-year-old newspapers, I spotted a news story from 1913: “On Tuesday last, John O’Connor, who has a farm on Ogden Hill Road, saw a deer cross the road going north. He tried to follow it but it soon disappeared.” Not a very exciting story except for the fact that it means a hundred years ago, deer were so rare around here that spotting one was a news story. The main problem with shrub-eating, cropeating, flower-eating, sapling-eating, tick taxi suburban deer is that they are cute. If they looked like 250-pound giant locusts, something tells me that shooting them would be made mandatory. But no, they look like a Disney cartoon and get all the privileges that come with being cute. People feed them. People “ooh” and “ahh” over them. They get into nightclubs for free and never have to pay for a drink. Oh, wait, that’s not deer, that’s good-looking young women. Still, you get my drift. Which is why, one morning last week, there were 23 deer grazing on my front lawn. It looked as if we were raising them. Next to the deer was a flock of Canadian geese that never seem to leave. When did geese stop flying south in the winter and north in the summer? They just live in the same place all the time now. My lawn. A car stopped in front of our house and a guy stuck his iPad out the window and videoed the wildlife. You’d have thought he was filming a rare white tiger for “Wild Kingdom.” I wish he was ... a nice cute tiger would solve so many of my lawn care problems. Contact Jim Mullen at JimMullenBooks.com.

Hardly a day goes by where you don’t hear someone grousing about the high price of gas in these parts. It seems to go up in a shot at the slightest hint of trouble in the markets but when the market price goes down there isn’t a similar precipitous drop. That leads to all kinds of theories on why we pay so much for the precious resource but we tend to forget that one of the most onerous items on gas itself are the taxes. From the provincial carbon tax to all the federal taxes it’s a major source of why our gas costs more than in the States. That’s why it’s at least somewhat heartening to hear some of that money they collect off of us is being pumped back into the North Okanagan. The most exciting item is a $1.8 million project to turn the old landfill site on Pottery Road into a recreational facility that will include a disc golf course – literally giving an old dumping ground new life for a new generation. There’s also funding for a disposal management system, an eco depot, a new transit bus to serve Enderby/Armstrong and for a regional Official Community Plan. “We’re only bringing your tax money back to you,” said Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes. True. But it’s nice to hear a politician state it so bluntly. It’s also nice to see the money come back to the North Okanagan and it’s even nicer to be able to point at something, like the Pottery Road recreational site, in the future and say “that’s where all those gas taxes went.” Or at least a portion of them.

fish story I was surprised to read Colin Mayes recent MP report called "The environment is a priority." Reading further, I see that "Protection of fish and fish habitat has been a priority for your government." I was dubious, as a friend within DFO (Federal Fisheries) in Vancouver has been describing the panic within the department over the 50 per cent staff loss that has occurred over the last year. Here is little research that refreshed my memory of events. Section 35 of the Fisheries Act was passed under the Mulroney government in the '80s requiring an environmental review before someone can 'alter or destroy a body of water (habitat) that is vital to the life cycle of fish'. Then in 2012, included in Bill C-38, known as the Omnibus Bill, the Conservatives removed the reference to habitat and placed protection on fish that are 'part of a commercial, recreational, or aboriginal fishery'. In other words, if we can't eat it, we don't care about it. Concern at the time was that this was a reaction to industry pressure from oil & gas, and mining, with the

A great trip down memory lane

lease pass our thanks to Armstrong Rotary President Shirley Fowler, all club members, and everyone who made the Centennial weekend, July 4 to 7, 2013, Armstrong Homecoming 100, Looking Back – Moving Forward, a memorable one. We thoroughly enjoyed the play, "All About The People," at the Asparagus Theatre – with excellent information, actors, and musicians. Also the set design was superb. The smiling Welcome Committee at the Hassen Hall, were helpful, and a delight to meet. Jessie Ann Gamble and Craig McKecknie were excellent tour guides on the bus routes arranged to see the many places we remembered. It was a great trip down memory lane, or should I say the back roads of Armstrong.

Friday, August 2, 2013 - The Morning Star A9

Seeing the 'old Elementary School' was humbling, realizing that within these very walls, we all started our journey of learning new rules, reading books, learning about life in other parts of the world, and more importantly, meeting our future friends. Meeting many friends during the weekend was a highlight, and it wouldn't have been possible, without the many hundreds of people that came together with vision, dedication, and energy to plan such an exciting time. Thank you again for the scrumptious meals, tours, and events packed into one memorable weekend. Armstrong was a great place to grow up in, and it remains a place with many giving people who continue to make it a proud place to visit. With sincere thanks to all, Paul and Deanna (Buyer) MacDonald

Conservative rationale being that every drainage ditch was holding up development. Before the bill was passed, four former federal fisheries ministers held a joint conference to protest this change. Mr. Mayes concludes his column with 'Yes, Prime Minister Stephen Harper does have a plan for protecting the environment'. Why do I feel manipulated? Dave smith reD cross is there Our Canadian news has been filled with a myriad of disasters occurring in the past few weeks. From the Alberta floods, to the train derailment in Quebec, to the recent apartment fires in Kelowna and the tanker truck overturn in the Kootenays, many individuals have found themselves in horrendous situations. Throughout these disasters there has been one recurring thread – the Red Cross has been present to support those in need. When individuals and families are required to evacuate it is often without time to contemplate what to bring, precious family photos, vital medications, even such important identification pieces such as pass-

ports can be forgotten. For Kelowna residents last week, Red Cross was for many, the lifeline to shelter, food, clothing and hope. All too often we forget just how vulnerable we are and despite all the warnings and reminders we just do not take the time to prepare properly for a small or large scale disaster – until it is on us. Thankfully there is an organization, well recognized by both name and symbol, whose trusted, hardworking volunteers and staff do plan for the unanticipated crisis which threaten our very lives. The Canadian Red Cross serves us nationally, provincially and locally by mobilizing the power of humanity to help the most vulnerable in their time of need. To do this, the Red Cross calls for volunteers, trains and supports these volunteers and fundraises on various levels. In this area, the Red Cross, which serves an area the size of Interior Health, requires a local disaster operations centre and, to date it has raised over half of a 3-million-dollar goal. Funds raised for this area stay in this area and will help to build and sustain the disaster operations centre, will help to increase the inven-

tory of equipment required and provide the training and education programs urgently needed in this community. Your personal and corporate support will help us all be ready – step up and join hands with Red Cross. Please visit the Red Cross, Building for Humanity Campaign webpage www.redcross.ca/buildingforhumanity to learn more or to make a financial contribution.

Watson and the other 23 finalists will be put through a series of on- and off-camera challenges to prove they can remain calm and cool under pressure, and, of course, to show they know their stuff when it comes to sports. “This whole thing has been such a new experience for me, so going through everything has been brand new and I’ve really enjoyed it,” said Watson, adding he’s been overwhelmed by all of the support. “I’ve been getting random messages from people asking if they can get T-shirts and posters. The support has been incredible. It’s made me excited to get this going, and I know everyone in Vernon and the Okanagan has got my back.” Community support for Watson has also come from Pierre Goyette of Speedpro Signs, Wade Cantalope at Elephant Storage, On Ouch at The Rice Box, Jim Tennant from SaveOn-Foods and local media, restaurants and small businesses. The overall winner of Drafted: Canada’s Next Sportscaster will receive a one-year contract. The newest sportscaster will be chosen by the show’s judging panel and will be announced during the show finale in November.

OK history digitized in time for B.C. Day Morning Star Staff

Set to Play Jennifer Smith/ morning Star

Rae Jensen (left) and Petra McAvoy practise their putting alongside event sponsor Ryan Fairburn of Capri Insurance, leading up to Tuesday’s Ladies’ Capri Golf Tournament at Vernon Golf and Country Club. The event starts at 8:30 a.m.

Okanagan communities have a special reason to celebrate this B.C. Day, thanks to a new digitization project initiated by UBC’s Okanagan Library that makes the region’s history accessible to the world. Now the rich history of the Okanagan is available in digital story form. Nearly 70 volumes of the Okanagan Historical Society’s (OHS) annual reports were recently digitized. The collection is available online in UBC Library’s digital collections. This publication is one of the longest, continually published historical periodicals in British Columbia, and includes contributions from branch members including ArmstrongEnderby, Kelowna, Oliver-Osoyoos, Penticton, Salmon Arm, Summerland, the Similkameen and Vernon. The reports have been used for teaching and learning for decades, with topics ranging from physical geography to cultural studies. The digital collection features more than 15,000 pages, dating from 1926 to modern day, though the most recent years have not been widely published.

“The content that has been made publicly available through this joint initiative between the Okanagan Historical Society and UBC Library will be a tremendous benefit to not only our UBC students, but to all researchers who take an interest in the fascinating history of the Okanagan Valley,” says Heather Berringer, deputy chief librarian at UBC’s Okanagan Library. “We are incredibly pleased to have been able to support digitization efforts that bring our community to the world.” UBC’s Okanagan Library proposed the project, and UBC Library’s Digital Initiatives Unit in Vancouver digitized and created the online collection. An official launch celebrating the digitization of OHS Reports is planned for September 2013. The UBC Library Digital Collections can be viewed at: http://digitalcollections.library. ubc.ca/cdm/landingpage/collection/ ohs For more information, please visit: the http://about.library.ubc. ca/2013/07/15/history-of-the-okanagan/

A Vernon cadet picked up an honour at a provincial camp near Victoria. Jasmine Lam of 223 Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron in Vernon formally received the Top Cadet Award for her class, or flight, in the Basic Drill and Ceremonial Course (BDCC). A top cadet is selected from each flight, taking into account all the qualities that make up a model air cadet. The top cadet recipients have demonstrated exemplary performance in their drill, dress, and deportment, and are considered to be team players in their classes. “Cadet Lam is a mature young adult who genuinely cares for her flight-mates,” said Lam’s flight commander, Second Lt. Brian Hwang. “She is highly respected, and is a peer role model.” Each flight was comprised of approximately 25 cadets. More than 190 air cadets from throughout B.C. formally graduated during a ceremonial parade at Albert Head Air Cadet Summer Training Centre last Friday in Victoria. The BDCC is a three-week summer training opportunity for second-year cadets. The course introduces rifle and flag drill, and provides an opportunity to develop the cadets’ leadership skills. Through participating in activities such as summer biathlon, community service and drill competition, cadets learn to excel in a team environment. BDCC graduates will be capable of taking on junior leadership roles within their home squadrons.

Camels brush off Turn-Key Morning Star Staff

Vernon Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels FC brushed back Turn-Key Controls 3-1 in thrilling North Okanagan Soccer League play Wednesday night at Marshall Field #4. Turn-Key (9-6-1) came firing off the blocks in the opening minutes, enjoying a lot of possession but failing to produce any significant effort on goal. The Camels (9-5-2) then began matching with the pace of the match and battled hard to regain some composure. Both sides moved the ball quickly with Turn-Key having a slight edge as the half wore on. Keenan Jespersen was deemed to have fouled Turn-Key’s Nathan Tucker in the box and Nolan’s Pharmasave Man of the Match Evan Moore calmly converted off the right post and past keeper Ryan Campbell. The Humpbacks levelled the score early in the second half when Fabrice Fanfani received the ball inside the 18 after neat passing moves between Trevor Rachwalski, Mo Singogo, and Enzo Paal. Fanfani’s shot clipped a defender’s heel and soared into the corner. Hi-Pro maintained their edge with good chances coming from Nathan Whitling, Paal, Bryn Knauf and Ben Osborn. The break came when the ball squirted loose at the edge of

the box with Lincoln Lanes stalwart Rachwalski being quick to react and poaching the goal past onrushing keeper Victor Gouchee. With 15 minutes to go, Turnkey put on some pressure, but were stopped by an outstanding Camels’ back four of Jespersen, Keefery Joyce, Nick Pantaleo and Khiran O’Neill, and Checkers Man of the Match, Campbell. Turn-Key were denied a late penalty call and Singogo shanked on a clear breakaway to end the entertaining tilt before scores of spectators. The NOSL showdown saw Courvas of Salmon Arm dispatch North Enderby Timber 4-2 at Marshall #4. Brent Poulsen and Evan Frederick scored for the second-place Timber (10-4-1), both set up on solid runs from defender Tyler Loose. Teenage sensation Greg Poggemoeller had another stellar game on the back line, challenging every ball while playing beyond his years and being a true leader on the field. He earned the Home Depot Man of the Match. “The game didn’t have much flow as everybody and their dogs got a talking to from the referee,” said Poulsen. Courvas improved to 14-1 atop the 10-team loop.

Tigers start B.C. playdowns versus Saanich Morning Star Staff/Black Press Sports

Myles Brumpton’s contacts told him the Coquitlam Adanacs were clearly the best team in the West Coast Junior Lacrosse League. The Adanacs, however, will not be in the B.C. Junior B Championships starting tonight in Burnaby, after losing 12-5 to the Delta Islanders Wednesday night in Game 3 of their playoff final series. Brumpton’s Thompson Okanagan champion Vernon Source For Sports Tigers (12-3-1) open the four-team tournament tonight at Copeland Arena against the Pacific Northwest League champion Saanich Tigers. Saanich (141-1) stopped the Westshore Bears (12-5-1) in the league

playoff final. “Everybody down there told me Coquitlam was going to go through so I’m very happy to hear that (they lost),” said Brumpton. “They’re a big, tough team with a few guys who get called up to Junior A.” Vernon enters the provincials with a team high on depth, stingy defence and great goaltending from Joel Fruncillo. Craig Bigsby and Jordan Orr pulled hat tricks in the Tigers’ 8-7 final win over the Kamloops Venom. “It’s tough to say who’s favoured,” said Brumpton. “Playoffs are a different beast. New guys step up for every team and every team will be at their best. Our guys are ready. It’s been two weeks and both (assistant coach Hanna) Keith

and I noticed in practice that the guys are done practising; they’re ready.” The Tigers face Delta Saturday at 12:30 p.m. and finish pool play Sunday morning versus Burnaby. Saanich cruised to the Island title but were pushed to the limit by Westshore. “Credit the Bears, they are our biggest competition on the Island,” said Saanich GM Chris Jackson. “When they beat us (in regular season) we had a lot of players missing and Westshore is a very good team. They’re very physical, they play hard, and have added a couple of Junior A guys that are pretty good at the end of the season.”

Roxburgh rules Senior BC Golf/Morning Star Staff

Canadian Golf Hall of Famer Doug Roxburgh went wire-to-wire for his first B.C. Senior Men’s Championship at the Eaglepoint Golf Resort in Kamloops. Starting Wednesday four strokes ahead of his nearest competitor, the Vancouverite and Marine Drive Golf Club member made zero mistakes through his first 15 holes, posting birdies on holes eight, 12, 13 and 14 to get his round to four-under. “I got to a point where I felt fairly safe. I think I was five or six up with four or five to play,” said Roxburgh following his round. It wasn’t until his next tee shot on the par-4 350 yard 16th hole did he get into any trouble. “I didn’t hit a bad tee shot on 16, just pulled it a bit and I ended up three inches behind a tree and chipped out then just got a little sloppy from there.” Roxburgh posted a double-bogey six, allowing a brief glimpse of hope for his playing partners Norm Bradley of Kelowna and Brian De Biasio of Qualicum Beach. After making bogey on 17 after his drive took an unfortunate kick right upon landing, Roxburgh was only ahead by two strokes heading down 18 after a De Biasio birdie on 17. He was able to seal the deal on his final hole with a tap-in par. His three round wire-to-wire line of 67-72-71 placed him at a six-under 210 total, good enough for an eventual three stroke win over De Biasio (72-71-70-213). Asked about winning his first B.C. Senior men’s crown in only his second try, Roxburgh laughed about his first try, “I started (playing in the Senior Men’s Championship) last year when we played at Nanaimo at Sandy Harper’s home course and nobody was going to beat Sandy that year. It was a very enjoyable three days of golf (this week), lots of fun, a great golf course, hospitality was fantastic. The staff and all the members that were out supporting us was great.” Finishing in solo third behind Roxburgh and De Biasio was Pemberton’s Lance Lundy, a former Hillview pro who fired an incredible bogey-free 5-under 67 Wednesday to finish at 2-under 214 (74-73-67). Roxburgh has declined the chance to play for Team B.C. so the group of De Biasio, Lundy and

Seniors Golf Championships in Kamloops. fourth-place Bradley (215) head to the Canadian Seniors, Aug. 27-30, at the Briar Club in Sutton West, Ont. Dan Bosquet of Vernon, a former Predator Ridge pro, finished in an eight-way share of 27th spot at 75-76-78-229. Kelowna’s Rick Folk was in a four-way share of 46th at 79-79-75-233, while Vernon’s Greg Betts was alone in 58th at 81-75-81-237. Vernon’s Mark Longworth missed the 36-hole cut by one stroke with 80-79-159, while Mike Sheldon of Predator also missed the line at 79-84163. There was a field of 122. Meanwhile, Hillview’s Keith Vandenbrink shot 70 Monday to pocket $640 in the CNIB Pro-Am at the Kelowna Golf & Country Club. Vandenbrink strung together four birdies and an eagle-three on No. 18 with a 15-foot uphill putt as he registered nines of 34-36. He and two others shared the runner-up cash. Vandenbrink still has the Tour Match Play semifinal to fit in this month. Clay Strothers of the Okanagan Club in Kelowna carded a 67 to claim $1,000.

Buse boosts Tirecraft offence Cont. from A18

Concept Physio/ Peters Tirecraft shaded the Salmon Arm Outlaws 3-2 at Salmon Arm Savings & Credit Union Park. Dean Buse was the Okanagan Training Rink Man of the Match for Tirecraft with two goals and an assist on Mo Haliru’s goal. Buse netted his first on a penalty kick after being brought down in the box by an Outlaw defender. He split the defenders with a precision pass to Haliru for the second goal and converted on a sublime pass from keeper Riley Spraggs, who sent Buse in all alone on a 50-yard pass from a spot kick just outside the Tirecraft box. Tirecraft improved to 3-10-2, while the Outlaws fell to 0-15. Salmon Arm Nation of Domination Eagle Homes stuffed visiting Monashee Surveying FC 4-1 to remain tied for third place with the Camels. Play was hot and even early with both teams missing chances. Monashee opened the scoring just before the half with Okanagan

Spirits Man of the Match Devon Marriott stoking a 30-yarder. Shortly into the final half, NOD scored on a sweet header and then added three more to beat Monashee for

the second time this season. There are two weeks of play left until the playoffs start Saturday, Aug. 17. The final goes Sunday, Aug. 25 at Marshall Field #5.

C’s drop opener

Dr. Lee clinch crown

Morning Star Staff

A late rally fell short as the Vernon Canadians bowed 14-13 to Vancouver Minor in their B.C. Pee Wee A Baseball Championships opener in Surrey. Eric Foufoulas, who caught and played second base, was Vernon’s game MVP. Vancouver grabbed an early 10-3 lead due to some Vernon errors. In Bantam play in Cloverdale, Vernon lost 11-5 to Victoria with first baseman Brett Lambert game MVP.

Delinah Erbinich pulled the hat trick as Dr. Lee Dental Clinic clinched the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer League Division 1 title with a 9-4 victory over the AF Blazers Tuesday night at Marshall Field #4. It was 4-2 Dr. Lee at the half and it became 5-4 for the Floss crew 10 minutes into the second half before Erbinich set up Jacquie Hansen and Kim Teichman in between netting her third of the game to put things out of reach. Jennesa Moore and Stephanie Wilson added two goals each, while Ally Dodds and Lori Shippy set up two each. London Drugs Lady of the Match Cindy Worth was excellent in the half and back line for Dr. Lee (13-2-1), who have four games remaining. Hailey Woon started the Blazer scoring by converting a pass from Jenny Hatten. Ali Clarke then deflected in a cross from Shantell Hayhurst. In the second half, Clarke clicked again with a beautiful shot from 25 yards. Hayhurst rounded out the Blazer offence with Clarke earning the assist. Amber Maltman, Amanda Swales and Shelby Price went hard on the 5-9-2 Blazer defensive line.

Heather Wurtele of Vernon continued her winning ways on home soil by winning Ironman 70.3 Calgary last Sunday. Still feeling the effects of her record-setting win at Ironman Coeur d’Alene, Wurtele didn’t find her usual power until halfway through the race. Once on track, she set the fastest run time of the day for the pro women and finished in four hours, 11 minutes and 42 seconds. She was closely followed by Rachel McBride of Canada and American Mandy McLane. With four victories on the international Ironman circuit this

Rosters’ modest two-game Masters Division winning streak came to an end Tuesday night at Marshall #2 when they fell 4-2 to the Chick Kickers. Rosters (2-10-4) opened the scoring when Marissa Wiebe put a through ball to Becky McLennan, who buried a scorcher from the 18. The Sporting Club girls went up by a deuce when Deanna Baker buried a cross from McLennan. Everything seemed to be going in Rosters’ favour with some sweet saves by both keeper Peggy Warnes and the crossbar. With this being longtime captain Wendy Martens’ last game of the year, (moving to the Coast), the Chicks came out strong and produced a flurry of shots but couldn’t beat Warnes. Down 2-0, the Kickers had a water break, regrouped, then started to take more control of the game. Michelle Johnson scored on a penalty after forcing her way into the box and was taken down hard. Warnes dove and nearly turned away the low corner corker. Jennifer Garnett , with her best effort of the year, busted through the Roster defence with sensational footwork and blasted a shot through Warnes’ arms and trickled across the line. Starting the second half full of attitude, Garnett was put in alone with a great through ball by tireless Colline Johnson and converted convincingly. After stalwart keeper Robyn Sherwood stopped a couple of Rosters’ chances, the Chicks put the game away for good with insurance from Jen Sorochuk. With the Roster defence holding the Chicks’ forwards near midfield, Sorochuk waited patiently for Johnson, again putting a superb pass over her head before running on to it. The Rosters’ defender had no chance to catch the speedy Sorochuk as she buried a sizzler from the right side. It was a moral victory for Rosters, who were thumped 11-0 by the Kickers earlier this season. Rosters had great efforts in the middle from Christine Trickey, Daralee Morris, Andrea Southam and Jodi Swartz, who all had to be tenacious and fast to keep up with the tricky Kickers (10-3-4).

year, Wurtele is being recognized as a strong contender for the Ironman World Championship title in October in Kona Trevor Wurtele of Vernon set the fastest time of the men’s pros on the bike leg of Ironman 70.3 Calgary to reel in Tim Don of the U.K. and American Tyler Butterfield. Don hung on for the win in 3:42:21, while Wurtele took second in 3:42:57 and Butterfield third at 3:43:38. Trevor Wurtele’s next race will be at the full distance Ironman Canada event to be held Sunday, Aug. 25 in Whistler.

The North Enderby Timber Celtics toppled the Wrap Zone 4-1 at Marshall #5. Shannon Nolting started the scoring with a 25yard blast off the crossbar. The Celtics went up by two a few minutes later after from a throw to flick master Carly Smith, who found Jodi Bariesheff at full speed on a partial breakaway. NET recorded their third goal on a scramble with Smith feeding Sam Adam, who hammered the ball top right from just inside the 18. Heidi Holtmann completed the 9-5-2 NET attack with a pass from Jen Siegmueller. Holtmann showed her calm demeanour and curled the ball past the outstretched keeper. Winless Wrap Zone scored late. The Little Tex Outlaws applied the heat but fell 2-1 to Glenn Power in Salmon Arm. Fabulous team work and digging deep kept Little Tex pressuring Glenn Power with Monica Neilson drawing a foul and securing a penalty kick and goal by Jasmine Whittling.

The Outlaws are 7-4-5, while Glenn Power is 7-5-4.

Saanich has a dynamic offence led by captain Ethan Garland, who has long been coveted by junior A programs. He forms a one-two punch with Derek Jackson. In net is another Victoria Junior A Shamrocks castoff, Cory Mayzes, who picked up a rare lacrosse shutout on June 12 against the Peninsula Warriors. “We anticipate Mayzes going for most of the games but we’ll see how the series goes,” said Jackson. Key for Saanich, however, is the transition with Jordan Stringer, Colin Bashfield and Austin Guerrero leading a high-powered counter-attack. Nanaimo Timbermen did not finish the season and Peninsula aborted the playoffs, creating an unexpected bye through the first round for the Bears and Tigers. Saanich won one game at the B.C.s last year, icing Westshore for bronze. Delta, meanwhile, lost the West Coast final series opener 10-9 before blasting Coquitlam 12-2 in the second game. Coquitlam placed first at 17-1-2, one point ahead of Delta (16-1-3). The Islanders are led by

Bridge by Phillip Alder USE “TRADE” TO PLAY BETTER BRIDGE In “The Nine Master Keys of Management,” Lester R. Bittel wrote, “Good plans shape good decisions. That’s why good planning helps to make elusive dreams come true.” When you are the declarer, good plans will often help to make a clear-cut dream -bringing home the contract -- come true. To do that, you do not need nine keys; five are sufficient: Track your tricks (count losers and winners), Read the lead, audition the Auction, anticipate possible Dangers, and watch your Entries. Let’s start with track your tricks and read the lead. How should South play in four hearts after West leads the spade 10 around to declarer’s

bare ace? Although South has only 12 high-card points, his hand is worth a jump rebid. This typically promises seven winners, which his hand has: one spade, five hearts and one club. South has four losers: one diamond and three clubs, though he seems to have 10 winners: two spades, seven hearts and one club. However, here, if declarer draws two rounds of trumps ending on the board and discards, say, the diamond nine on the spade king, he goes down. West ruffs, and later South concedes three clubs. When the opening lead is a spot card in dummy’s firstbid suit, it will usually be a singleton. Declarer should immediately cash the club ace

and play another club (or duck the first round of clubs). East does best to win, cash the diamond ace, and lead a spade. Yes, shifting to a trump stops an overtrick, but here South might carelessly ruff low, allowing West to overruff and play a trump. Use “trade” to improve your play -- our theme this week.

Concerned residents of the Gardom Lake area were given the opportunity to provide habitat information at a recent meeting. About 15 people showed up for what was a low-key, informationgathering event, said Columbia Shuswap Regional District Parks and recreation manager Marcin Pachcinski, noting Trina Koch of Summit Environmental Consultants took notes on local input related to wildlife. CSRD directors authorized spending up to $35,000 to retain a consultant to develop a lake management plan at the June board meeting. Approval came after directors heard that Gardom Lake is experiencing pressures stemming from its popularity as a recreational lake, particularly since the province stocked the lake with trout – trout that are now approaching trophy size. There is currently one trailer boat launch site at Teal Road, a Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) lake access road, which provides neither parking, washrooms, picnic nor garbage facilities. CSRD was working last fall with MOTI to develop a boat launch with the above services at Musgrave Road, historically a handlaunch site for kayaks and canoes. Members of The Friends of Gardom Lake, a local stewardship group, protested the work, which was subsequently halted. As part of the July 16 meeting, staff and residents visited both sites, said Pachcinski, who noted that when discussion threatened to become debate about boat launch development, he made it very clear the meeting was for informationgathering purposes only. “We also made note that a lot of these

The B.C. government finished the last fiscal year with a deficit of $1.15 billion, according to the audited public accounts released Tuesday. That’s up from $968 million that was projected as the deficit last year, an indication of the difficult task facing the government to balance the budget in the current year. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the government reduced its spending $668 million in the fiscal year ended March, compared to what was budgeted. But resource revenues, mostly natural gas, were down $1.1 Mike Farnworth billion from the 2012 budget. Health care spending was up $585 million, education spending rose $300 million and social services spending went up $50 million compared to 2011-12. Total program spending increase 2.6 per cent, higher than the target of two per cent de Jong has set for this year. Deficits and continued spending on capital projects pushed the province’s total debt up $5.6 billion to $55.8 billion. “We’ve seen the largest debt increase in the history of British Columbia,” NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth said. “And this is a government that ran around during the election campaign saying it’s going to be debt-free B.C.”

Juno nominee Shawn Hook helps Armstrong celebrate the big 100 this weekend Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

The “Hooksters” are about to get up close and personal with their idol this weekend. For those unsure what a Hookster is, it is the endearing term given to the fans of B.C. musician Shawn Hook, who arrives at the Interior Provincial Exhibition fairgrounds Saturday to be a part of the Armstrong 100 celebrations. The all-ages concert is a free event to both Armstrong area students and residents who received ticket vouchers in their tax notices earlier this year. Some lucky locals will also get a VIP meet ‘n’ greet with Hook. “Shawn is excited to play the signature event,” said Terri Wong, with the centennial committee, when announcing the concert back in May. “It will be a true family event with lots of food, music and entertainment for all.” Raised in the South Slocan near Nelson, Hook, whose last name is actually Hlookoff, says his career in music “has been an unpredictable, rewarding journey thus far and I am beyond thankful for the continued support from my family, fans, management, label and everyone who believes in what I do.” Known for adding modern electronic elements to his organic singer-songwriter, guitar and piano base, Hook is an accomplished musician who has been playing piano since he was four years old. He recently made the news when he was nominated as breakthrough artist of the year at the 2013 Juno awards.

The nod came from his debut recording for EMI Music, Cosmonaut and the Girl, released in May 2012. Described as a “constellation of electro-spiked pop,” Hook says the album’s theme was influenced by his interest in space, astronomy and exploring. “I was thinking of a cosmonaut and his girl. They rarely get to see each other. I relate to that because I’m never in one place for too long,” Hook said in his bio. Singles Two Hearts Set On Fire and So Close have also garnered the pop artist attention, with the latter song making it to the top 10 of the Canadian adult contemporary radio charts in February, while another song off the album, Every Red Light, was nominated for two Canadian Radio Music Awards. Working with some of the top producers in Canada and across the border, Hook has also written and co-produced songs for a number of TV shows on American networks ABC and ABC Family. More recently his wide-ranging vocals were heard when Cosmonaut and the Girl’s lead track, Planet Earth, was used on an episode of the Canadian teen TV show Degrassi. Saturday’s all-ages concert at the IPE grounds also features opening act The Matinee, a Vancouver band who were Peak Performance Project finalists in 2011. Gates to the show open at 4 p.m. (rush seating) with local artists taking the stage prior to The Matinee at 7 p.m. and Hook at 9 p.m. A concession will also be on site, and visitors are welcome to bring their own picnics. “Please bring your lawn chair or blanket to relax on and enjoy the concert,” said Wong. Those without free ticket vouchers can purchase tickets for $10 per person at the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce office (Visitor’s Centre) on Bridge Street, or at the gate.

Cherryville Artisans Association harvests fun for festival Morning Star Staff

It’s a big month for the Cherryville Artisans Association. Not only is the group currently showing a wide berth of work in the exhibition, Artist or Artisan; Where is the Line?, at the Vernon Public Art Gallery, the association is also getting ready for the annual Roots and Beets Art Festival, Aug. 10. “The Roots and Beets Art Festival is a celebration of our harvest in creative ways that invites everyone to come participate and enjoy all that we have to offer,” said Helen Kovacs,

with the association. Artists will be demonstrating hot glass bead making, pottery on the wheel, wood carving and painting along with a raku pottery firing, while workshops will include nature sketching, instrument making, pottery, leather pouch making and healing arts. Vernon’s Society for Creative Anachronism, Krakafjord, will have a medieval display with arts and crafts, as well as live sparring demonstrations. There will also be healing arts and tarot card readings.

• Kelowna • Penticton • Salmon Arm • Valleyview • Rutland • West Kelowna • Vernon • North Kamloops • Sahali

“The Roots and Beets Art Festival is held in conjunction with the Cherryville Farmers’ Market and includes artisans, vendors and a fresh food chef,” said Kovacs. “The Mountain Kid’s Creation Fort will also offer kids crafts celebrating our harvest all day.” B.C. Parks will be in attendance to educate everyone about provincial parks, while local musicians will take the stage all day. Performers include Sorella, with Ellie Young on stand-up bass, Julie Armitage on guitar, Diana Ward on

keys and percussion, and Wendy Aronyk on flute and percussion. “They have an eclectic sound with superb three- and four-part harmonies,” said Kovacs. Sibling songwriting-singing duo Frills, Jenn and Lindsay Millan, will perform their flowing harmonies, with a folk and rootsy blend of acoustic riffs and heartfelt lyrics. Barefoot Caravan (Expression World Music Collective) will also perform French fusion songs and world music chants blended with three-part harmonies and upbeat

arrangements. “They will be accompanied by local musicians all day so come out and enjoy a family day celebrating our arts and culture here in Cherryville,” said Kovacs, adding, “We would like to thank our sponsor the Regional District of the North Okanagan and the volunteers who are making this happen.” Roots and Beets takes place outside the Cherryville Artisans Shop, 1187 Highway 6 at Sugar Lake Road, Aug. 10 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is by donation.

Release these hounds

Court Yard Hounds: Amelita

n their second album, Amelita, Emily Robison and Martie Maguire of Court Yard Hounds have proven the worth of their side project. The harmonizing and songwriting sisters’ strong work ethic has produced a rich sounding collection of rootsy country-rock material. Robison and Maguire, late Dean Gordon-Smith of the erstwhile Dixie Chicks, have kick-started another career away from that mega-selling band. The two are/were the core of the Chicks’ sound as the main songwriters and multi-stringed instrumentalists. The banjo-plucking Robison has established herself comfortably and convincingly in the lead singer role. The sisters’ sound is natural and ultra sweet and they’ve wisely chosen to highlight their harmonies in

an acoustic-based band setting. Their group is intuitive and adept at the quicksilver country-bluegrass lines and thumping backwoods picking. The material is clever and thoughtfully arranged – they contrast sweet chord patterns and pretty “up” melodies with lyrics that are biting and sarcastic (Sunshine and Amelita). The latter song is a super catchy guilty pleasure and it suggests the classic crossover era of ‘70s’ country rock. The Hounds also mix their country/roots sound with a bouncy rock sound, as Robison cops a little bit of Sheryl Crow’s vibe on the riffy Watch Your Step. The energy of these songs suits the sisters’ tight harmonies and dueling instrumental interplay. They take those elements and turn them around on the dark-themed Phoebe. The track has a winding banjo riff snaking under Robison’s bitter tale of small-town revenge. The Appalachian jamout at the song’s conclusion is a blast. The duo has an affinity for moody ballads as well, and Divided is a standout song among many quieter tracks. With the sisters harmonizing like southern sirens, Amelita is a tuneful and relevant work at home in roots-based country rock or Americana, with no glitches or down time. It’s strong all the way through. The

Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges are a ghost busting odd couple in R.I.P.D.

Get R.I.P.D. in the after-life

R.i.P.D

hen a Boston police officer, Nick (Ryan Reynolds) and his partner Hayes (Kevin Bacon) stumble upon a strange cache of gold artifacts during a sting operation, they decide to stash it as a retirement savings plan. Uncomfortable with keeping the gold a secret from his wife, Nick Taylor and Howe decides to turn it in, and Hayes says he will do the same. Before the gold can be taken to the evidence locker, Nick is shot and killed in a violent showdown with a gang of heavily armed bad guys. The spirit of Nick is sucked up into a heavenly light, where he finds himself sitting at a desk across from Proctor (Mary-Louise Parker) who explains that as he was feeling a little worried about his judgement, he has been given the opportunity to clear up any past sins.

All he has to do is join the Rest in Peace Department. The R.I.P.D. is a squad of ghost cops meant to keep the Earth clean of spirits that should be in either heaven or hell. R.I.P.D. officers inhabit “avatars” which are just the bodies of other people in order to do their Earthly business. Although Nick is partnered with a grumpy old curmudgeon Roy (Jeff Bridges), Roy’s avatar is a super model and Nick’s is an elderly Chinese man. Sent back to Earth to serve a 100-year tour of duty, the ghost busting odd couple get to work solving the mysteries of the strange gold artifacts and the reason for Nick’s murder. We say, “It’s paptastic!” HOWE: R.I.P.D. is a cross between Men In Black meets Ghostbusters. The problem is that it’s not as good as either of them. As with MIB, you have the grumpy old man who wants to do everything the old way and you have the young cocky upstart with the “I know what I’m doing attitude” opposite. TAYLOR: You have to throw in a little Ghost as well, because of Nick’s infatua-

tion with “getting through” to his widow. I agree that it is not as good as any of the movies it steals from, but it isn’t exactly bad. Despite being a rather dull script built up around an unoriginal plot, it made my wife and I giggle a couple times. Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds play their stock characters well enough, although I don’t know what happened to Bridge’s mouth, he can’t seem to talk properly anymore. However, the strongest feature of R.I.P.D. is its look. This is a very polished, expensive looking movie with some amazing cinematography and computer effects. HOWE: I feel bad for R.I.P.D. It’s getting a bit of a slating in the reviews and I think it’s unfair as it’s not a bad flick. Putting it out at the same time as The Wolverine doesn’t help, but I found R.I.P.D. more fun to watch. It’s not all doom and gloom, nor does it go on for over two hours. It also has Kevin Bacon in it and he’s always good for a cheesy movie. – Howe gives it 3 orange trees out of 5. – Taylor gives it 2 billy goats out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Sutton screens an American classic Morning Star Staff

Slick on the hair grease, lace up those saddle shoes, and get ready to cruise on over to Polson Park. M a u r e e n Ruscheinsky of the Sutton Group of Realtors is spearheading a blast from the past with the outdoor screening of the film American Graffiti on Aug. 9. The third of four movie presentations of the Sutton Cinema Under the Stars series shown for free in Polson Park, American Graffiti is a pre-Star Wars directing and writing effort by George Lucas. Set in the early1960s, the film is a nos-

talgic portrait of teenage life told in a series of vignettes, and stars a young Ron Howard, Richard Dreyfuss and a then unknown named Harrison Ford. “What better way to show our community how much we appreciate them than by offering a great family night out with no cost. All of the Sutton realtors have pitched in to thank our citizens,” said Ruscheinsky. “Come on out in costume circa 1960 for this classic movie on the giant blow-up screen. We’ll have City Dance out jiving as a warm up and vintage cars of the era on display.” Sutton’s two previous family-friendly mov-

ies have been attended by hundreds. The realtors have also been very impressed by how clean all the movie-goers have left the park.

Habitat for Humanity will once again be selling hot popcorn and cold drinks and families are encouraged to bring a picnic, lawn chairs or

blankets. American Graffiti starts at sunset just after 8:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 9 Bring some warm clothes for when it cools off.

Kathy Pratt (left) and Ann Newton, both with Vernon Friends of the Library, sort through books in preparation for shipping to Bella Bella for donation to the community’s library, which was housed in the community’s grocery store that burned to the ground last month.

Friends of Bella Bella library in good to excellent condition.” In a letter to library founder Jessie Housty, Wills offered to select books from the Friends’ storage facility. “All book-lovers were in pain upon learning of the loss of your library,” said Wills. “We can choose books according to whatever you want, get them to Vancouver or Richmond and then have them shipped to you by sea or air. “We can start any time putting books aside for you in our storage facility and the timing of delivery will be up to you.” Friends of the Library has also contacted the many local book clubs for their help in collecting novels for donation and ORL directors have given their approval for this project. Anyone with books to donate is welcome to drop them off Aug. 13 at the old Coldstream fire hall, 9901 Kalamalka Rd., next to the municipal hall, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Wills notes that they cannot accept encyclopedias, Readers’ Digest condensed books or text books. All donated books should be in good condition, not necessarily new, but just lightly used. The Bella Bella library is particularly in need of books on the following subjects: children’s literature, indigenous literature;

In a fire hall in Coldstream, volunteers with Vernon Friends of the Library are busy sorting books destined for a library in northern B.C. that was destroyed by fire. The Thistalalh Memorial Library was housed in the only grocery store in Bella Bella, a remote First Nations community, about 150 kilometres north of Port Hardy. The 35-year old building served as a commercial and social hub for the community, housing not only the grocery store and library, but the post office and cafe. As head of Vernon Friends of the Library, Linda Wills knew the non-profit organization could help Bella Bella rebuild its library by sending books to replace those lost in the fire. “We wanted to help the community rebuild its library, choosing books and having them shipped,” said Wills. “Approximately 50,000 books go through our hands each year at our annual May and October sales. “We receive discards from the Okanagan Regional Library and also receive an increasing number of donations for our sales, with the majority of the books we sell for fundraising for the

international fiction; eco-literature; natural history and field guides; general nonfiction. At this point, collecting the books is the simple part, it’s the shipping that is urgently needed and Wills is hoping a company based in the Lower Mainland might be willing to donate the shipping. Also needed is a truck that can accommodate a shrink-wrapped pallet of books and take them from the North Okanagan to Vancouver at no charge. Eduardo Sousa is coordinating volunteer efforts in the Lower Mainland to get the books to Bella Bella. In a letter to Wills, he expressed the community’s appreciation. “The situation has been really tough on the community with the loss of services, and especially tough on those who put so much into creating the library like Jess Housty,” he said. “But the response from many concerned individuals like yourself and your directors has been wonderful and that has helped give strength to keep going and rebuild and regenerate.” If anyone can help with getting the books to Vancouver, or for more information, please call Wills at 250-549-1466.

Ready to move out

ear Annie: I’m a senior in college and live at home. My parents, especially my father, are controlling and overly attached to me. I’ve had enough and am planning on moving away the second I graduate, but my family doesn’t seem to get this. They tell me about graduate schools and full-time job opportunities in or near our town. They’ve offered to let me live rent-free in the house if I stay in the area after college. These “suggestions” are starting to pile up, and graduation seems so far away. I can’t let myself fall into the same trap that got me to stay with them at the start of college. How do I say I’m leaving for good? — Nobody’s Baby Boy Kathy Mitchell & MarcySugar Dear Nobody: Your parents don’t “get it” because they see no indication that you are leaving anytime soon. They’ll believe it when it happens. While many kids would appreciate their parents’ offer to stay rent-free, we agree that you should strike out on your own. Loving parents guide their children to be independent. You don’t need to keep saying you are moving out. Simply save your money and find a place you can afford, in whatever city you prefer. Research job and educational opportunities. What you cannot do is expect your parents to cover your expenses when you no longer live at home. Good luck. Dear Annie: I’m a married female in my early 50s and haven’t had a real friend in more than 20 years. It’s not a question of meeting people. They just don’t seem to gravitate toward me. I’m considerate and clean and have a good sense of humor. I’m a bit on the shy and quiet side, but I’m friendly and a sympathetic listener. I have often made the first move and invited someone to join me for lunch. They accept and seem to enjoy our time together, but they never reciprocate. At work, everyone seems to buddy up with someone else, and though everyone appears to like me, I have no buddy of my own. I’ve been to counseling twice and have read books on making friends, and neither has helped. I appreciate that I have a good marriage, a good job, great kids and a nice home, but the absence of just one good friend saddens me greatly. Do you have any advice? — Lonely for Friends Dear Lonely: It can take a long time to get to know someone in middle age, when friendships are already entrenched from work, church and community. You would need to make a greater effort, inviting someone for lunch several times, before the comfort level promotes a closer friendship. In the meantime, please look into the Red Hat Society (redhatsociety.org) and meetup.com for people in your area who are actively looking to make new friends. Dear Annie: I had a similar experience to “Want Duct Tape,” whose father-in-law hummed during their drives. I drove my late mother-in-law

Luke Davis tries on a space suit for size and is asking for votes in the Axe Apollo space contest, where the winner gets to attend space camp in Orlando, Fla.

Space Luke needs your vote Morning Star Staff

After enduring the spiciest of chicken wings and frolicking in cold, wet mud, Luke Davis is up for his latest challenge, all in an effort to get to first place in the Axe Apollo space contest. If he wins, the Vernon resident and father of four will head to space camp in Orlando, Fla. There are 22 countries involved in the contest, and two Canadians will be selected to attend camp, while one of the two will enjoy a 103-KM ride into space on a Lynx Mark 2 experimental jet. When he entered the contest several months ago, Davis put the following question on his Twitter page, “What do I have to do to get your vote to go to space.” All of his wild antics have been

filmed and posted to his YouTube page at http://bit.ly/spacelukevideos and his latest will involve tucking into a traditional Filipino dish of balut, which is a duck embryo that is boiled and eaten in the shell. “My friend Bernie put out the challenge to the Filipino community and told me that if he gets me 500 votes, I have to eat balut,” said Davis, who is up for the challenge if it gets him the votes. Nicknamed “Space Luke” by his Kal Tire co-workers, Davis recently took part in some space preparation with a ride in the gyro chair at the Okanagan Science Centre. Now in 58th spot, he’s hoping the next few weeks will see him rise to the top. Vote for Davis at http://bit.ly/ spaceluke. Voting ends Aug. 31

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.

to her doctor appointments, weekly Bingo games and the beautician. She read every single sign we passed — street signs, gas station signs, grocery store weekly specials, whatever. No one could have a conversation. She didn’t want to talk to us, but she made sure we couldn’t talk, either. I finally figured out that it was a passive-aggressive power play. We had to listen to her. The solution? Earplugs. — Been There and Bought the T-Shirt

Ecclesiastes 12:5 (the Preacher: kohaleth, Solomon) “the almond tree shall blossom.” In the late spring the almond tree is white with blossom, a signal that summer is nigh; a fitting figure of the hoary, whiteheaded old man, whose life is almost over, and death at hand. “The grasshopper shall be a burden.” The grasshopper usually propels itself with great leaps, illustrative of the exuberance of youth, but when moving slowly it assumes a painful, dragging, crawling gait - characteristic of declining life.

Clark sworn in as MLA Tom FleTcher Black Press

Premier Christy Clark took a break from cabinet meetings in Vancouver Tuesday to be sworn in as MLA for Westside-Kelowna. One of the cabinet’s first tasks is to launch a “core review” of government programs, with a target of reducing overall program spending by $50 million this year. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett is in charge of the cost-cutting exercise, and is to release terms of reference for it on Wednesday. Clark has described this core review as different from the one that former premier Gordon Campbell led after the B.C. Liberal Party formed government in 2001. The new review will focus on identifying functions that don’t need to be done by government, and reducing excessive regulation that Clark described as a natural accumulation of all governments over time. Clark led the B.C. Liberals to a 48-seat majority in the May 14 election, but lost her own seat in Vancouver-Point Grey. Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart agreed to step aside so Clark could run in that seat, which she won handily in a July 10 by-election.

Chester the pug quietly passed from this world on July 13, 2013. He was a working dog with really good communication skills and greatly appreciated all pats, kind words and treats that patrons bestowed on him. He had an acceptance in life for all things, good and bad, that humans could learn from.
