Evictions prompt plan
RIDERS RAISE THE BAR
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Community resources are being mobilized to find homes for those about to hit the street. Sixty-day eviction notices have been issued to the tenants of the Green Valley Motel on 25th Avenue, across from Vernon’s Polson Park. “It’s something we always knew that if the Green Valley closed, it would have a serious impact,” said Annette Sharkey, with the Social Planning Council. “As a community, we are going to try our best to help these tenants.” There are 27 units and while about 15 units are currently occupied, the exact number of tenants is not known. Most of them are considered low-income and a lack of financial resources means finding a new home could be challenging. “The question is where do these individuals locate housing?” said Sharkey. — Sharkey Information has been provided to the tenants about services available through the John Howard Society as they look for new accommodations. Other contingency plans are also in place to assist the tenants once they leave the motel. One of the owners, who declined to be identified, says eviction is necessary because the bank has called the mortgage and the hope is the property may be easier to sell if it is vacant. “We have no other recourse but to ask people to leave the place and we may find someone else to take it over,” he said. The property was listed for sale in April for $1,195,000. However, there have been no buyers. The current owner says he and his partners purchased the motel in 2006, and while there was a sense of optimism, the economic downturn and evolving clientele had a negative impact. “The property has been deteriorating for six years,” he said, adding that revenue flow has been challenging given the turnover of customers on a monthly basis. “We don’t have enough money to cover the mortgage and expenses.” The owner admits that eviction will create hardship for those living there, and because of the need for low-income housing, he says he approached service agencies to take the motel over. “I went to the city and asked for a break in taxes and there was nothing.” According to Sharkey, there is a concerted effort among social agencies to ensure housing is available for all income levels. “We know there is limited housing out there so we’re working with all levels of government to address that gap.”
“Where do these individuals locate housing?”

Master water plan making waves RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Regional District of North Okanagan officials are trying to calm turbulent waters. During Wednesday’s board meeting, chief administrative officer David Sewell clarified his views on the review of the Greater Vernon master water plan. “I don’t want the impression that directors are being led by staff,” said Sewell. On June 11, the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee members considered 21 assumptions that impact the master water plan. During that discussion, GVAC director Gyula Kiss stated, “Who is directing it? It looks like staff is directing it.”
Sewell insisted that he is not singling out any specific politician but says that while staff provides advice, elected officials will determine the direction of the master water plan. “We (staff) have a role and I want the public to be cognizant that those roles are in place,” he said. Director Catherine Lord expressed concern that Kiss’ comments could undermine the ability to address Greater Vernon’s long-term water system. “We need to make sure everyone is on board because if the impression of this is it’s run by staff, there will be a (public) backlash,” she said. Similar views also came from director Juliette Cunningham, who is GVAC chairperson. “We can’t undermine staff as we

work through the process,” she said, adding that the suggestion that a final plan outcome has been determined is wrong. “We don’t know what we will do, if we will ask for an independent review.” Kiss stands by his comments. “Is staff not directing the process?” he said. “Staff provides advice and those who do not want to think for themselves accept that advice. I question the advice because that’s what electors want me to do.” Kiss added that an overwhelming majority of voters opposed borrowing $70 million for the master water plan in November’s referendum. “The taxpayers pay for staff and they have a right to request information and I am a representative for taxpayers.”

Communities unite over rail corridor richard rolke Morning Star Staff
The bond between local communities has been strengthened through a shared vision. On Wednesday, representatives from the Splatsin First Nation and the North Okanagan and Columbia-Shuswap regional districts signed a memorandum of understanding during a ceremony in Sicamous. “Forty years from now, what we are doing today will have an impact,” said Wayne Christian, Splatsin chief. The agreement establishes the groundwork for the band and the two regional districts to pursue possible acquisition of the discontinued Canadian Pacific rail corridor from Spallumcheen to Sicamous. “We see the ability for common understanding,” said Christian. “There are lots of details to work out but the fact that we are in the same room is important.” Signing the agreement for the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District was chairperson Rhona Martin. “I hope this is the first step of many we walk together. Let’s get this thing going, it’s exciting,” she

Representing the Regional District of North Okanagan was
director Herman Halvorson. “It’s a starting point and we will work together on a vision of trails
from Sicamous to Armstrong,” he said. The next step in the process will
see all parties identify how purchase of the corridor may occur and how the necessary funds will be generated. “That’s the big question,” said Halvorson when asked about the potential cost. Christian is confident that a successful outcome can be achieved. “Look at eco-tourism and what it can offer the region and the world. There are economic opportunities for the whole region, including our people,” he said, adding that the corridor was a traditional route for the Shuswap and village sites are nearby. “It reconnects us with who we are as a people.” Attending the ceremony were dignitaries from the Splatsin, Enderby, Spallumcheen and Sicamous. “The potential for green tourism is huge and there’s the potential for other uses. In Enderby, we need to expand the highway,” said Greg McCune, Enderby mayor, who has praise for all of the parties involved. “We’re united as a group. Right from the start, the Splatsin have talked about the whole regional thing.”
Enderby draws up clarity over art policy richard rolke Morning Star Staff
There are firm ground rules when it comes to art in Enderby. Council adopted a public art policy Monday. “It makes the process a little more formal,” said Coun. Shawn Shishido. “People will be clear with what the terms are right from the start.” The policy deals with a number of issues, including the requirement for public art proposals to have council approval, ownership and
maintenance of public art and the ability to remove a public art installation. The city possibly moving art from a location preferred by the artist has been a focus of debate. “We can’t have everything in one place,” said Mayor Greg McCune. “We want to create an art walk in the community. We want to keep it fresh.” Discussion about an art policy arose after Grindrod-based Runaway Moon Theatre presented city council with a model for a calendar
art project. “The policy is intended as a guideline for council when considering public art proposals and it should be noted that council can vary its policy on a case-by-case basis,” said Kurt Inglis, the city’s assistant corporate officer. “The policy as presented does nothing to add to council’s current authority. It simply provides a basis for clarity in decision-making and the ownership and maintenance of public art for both council and the proponent.”

Lumby gun range on target
Join our new
SENIORS 55+ DRAGON BOAT TEAM
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A proposed gun range in rural Lumby is moving closer to reality despite opposition. The Regional District of North Okanagan board gave third reading to rezoning and official community plan amendments Wednesday so a shooting range can be developed at the five-kilometre mark of the Burnyeat Forest Service Road in Trinity Valley. “The applicant has satisfied all requirements to be met prior to a public hearing,” said Rick Fairbairn, RDNO chairperson and rural Lumby director. At a public hearing Wednesday, many of the speakRick Fairbairn ers protested the business on 1.48 hectares. “There are homes behind the range,” said David McRae, an adjacent property owner. “Is the board prepared to be responsible for liabilities if an accident occurs?” Resident Gwynn Ray challenged RDNO’s recent sound tests at the range site and the potential noise. “I don’t want to hear bullets shooting all day long. I moved out there for peace and quiet,” she said. Ursula Jensen told the board that her concerns have not been taken seriously by RDNO. “I feel dismissed which is disappointing as a resident of Area D for 34 years,” she said. However, support for applicant Michael O’Rourke came from Walter Bopfinger. “I consider it to be a very safe property. He’s tried

to accommodate us as neighbours,” said Bopfinger. O’Rourke says the design of the gun range, which would have a 1,000-metre distance for shooting, meets RCMP standards. “There won’t be any stray bullets,” he said. “My goal is to have zero sound at the boundary of the property or close to zero.” When it came time for the board to consider third reading of bylaws, just the five electoral area directors could participate. Support came from Fairbairn and directors Herman Halvorson and Hank Cameron while directors Bob Fleming and Mike Macnabb were opposed. “The proposal was poorly presented to the people affected. The concerns could be addressed with full engagement,” said Macnabb. Fairbairn defends the process leading up to third reading, including the sound tests. “The decibel levels were well below what is allowed in the noise bylaw,” he said. It’s not known when final adoption of the rezoning and OCP bylaws could occur as O’Rourke must register a covenant restricting land use and the RCMP must sign off on the proposal.

possible infractions on lakes throughout the North Okanagan and Shuswap this summer. “We want everyone to be safe,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. Boat operators must have a pleasure craft operators card and picture identification with them. “They (officers) will accept a photocopy on board,” said Molendyk. Approved lifejackets or personal flotation devices Molendyk must also be presented for each person on the board. All boats require basic safety equipment (bailer, waterproof flashlight, whistle or horn, paddle or anchor and 15M buoyant heaving line) and a fire extinguisher is mandatory for all power boats with inboard fuel tanks. “All vessels towing must have a spotter,” said Molendyk. All paddleboards require a lifejacket or PFD. Violation of any of the regulations may result in the vessel operator being charged with an offence or the vessel ordered off the lake. “The goal is the safety of everyone on the water. It’s not about writing tickets,” said Molendyk.

Athletic excellence honoured TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s rich history of athletic excellence got even richer as the Tim Hortons athletic awards were handed out in the media room at Kal Tire Place Tuesday night. Savannah King just wrapped up one of the most dominating distance swim careers in Canadian university history and capped it off by being named the Athlete of the Year. “This is very special. To move away from your hometown and still have people follow you and recognize you like this means a lot to me,” said King, who ruled the lengths for the UBC Thunderbirds. King finished as a four-time Canadian Interuniversity Sport champion and a fivetime Canada West champion. She was named four-time Canada West Swimmer of the Year and twotime CIS Swimmer of the Year. She won 20 gold medals at the conference level. In national meets she won 10 golds and 20 medals overall. She is a multiple record holder and Grand Slam champion in both the 400-metre and 800-metre freestyle. King recently competed for Canada in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics. On top of all that, she was named co-winner of the May Brown Trophy as UBC’s Graduating Female Athlete of the Year. “The May Brown award was something I always wanted to win, but this one ranks pretty high,” said King. “My heart is always in Vernon, it’s always going to be my hometown. To win an award like this from the Okanagan is huge.” King spends her time back in Vancouver, where she is swimming and teaching at the UBC Aquatic Centre. “I probably spend more time at the pool now than I did when I was in school,” joked King. With her eligibility completed, King has

The two-time defending B.C. men’s curling champions were recognized as Team of the Year. For Jim Cotter, it was the second time his rink captured the award. His rink previously won in 2012. The team is anchored by a few Vernon products in third Ryan Kuhn and second Rick Sawatsky. “ The Nor th Okanagan produces a lot of great teams, we’re
honoured to be named one of them,” said rink skip Cotter. “This award means a lot.” Teammates Tyrel Griffith and Kuhn were not in attendance. “I think we are going to cut this award into four pieces,” joked Cotter, as he thought of ways to share the award with his crew. Cotter’s rink finished 6-5 at the Tim Hortons Brier Canadian Men’s Curling Championship last March in Calgary. “The Brier is tough, we go out there and perform and hopefully we get hot at the right time,” said Sawatsky. Sawatsky’s fam-
ily moved to Vernon when he was two and he stayed until 2000. Now living in Kelowna, he enjoys off-ice activities before the curling season ramps up again. “I do a lot of training; hot yoga and I find golf to be a great teacher for mental toughness,” said Sawatsky. “We will meet up as a team about once a month, catch up and maybe talk strategy.” The 2016 Brier will take place in Ottawa. The Leadership in Sport award went to Ken Gaskell for his work with the Silver Star Freestyle Ski Club. His daughter, Elena,

is a freestyle skier and was nominated for Athlete of the Year after winning gold in slopestyle skiing and big air at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George. “It would have been nice for both of us to win,” said Ken. “Unfortunately this was our only shot. I don’t see myself winning this again, but hopefully she gets hers one day.” Gaskell was instrumental in bringing in an air bag to Silver Star for the freestyle team to practice on. It gives them opportunities to test out new tricks safely before tackling them on snow. He was the event chairman for the Canadian Junior Freestyle Skiing Championships at Silver Star this winter. “We think Silver Star is the place to be for freestyle athletes,” said Gaskell. “Pro skiers like Noah Morrison, T.J. Schiller, Joe Schuster, Josh Bibby and Justin Dorey have came through the Silver Star program.” As for this year, Gaskell is looking to improve the club’s mogul runs and continue to work on developing its coaches.

Life’s a beach
each culture is an interesting thing to observe. All walks of life congregate on those patches of sand, as I saw when I was at Kal Beach watching my kids plunge into the cool water with abandon the other day. I made a few mental notes on those observations, while keeping both eyes on my kids (and I mean, both eyes... I am a former lifeguard, after all). Me, I am your average harried parent at the beach – chasing down my kids, covered head to toe in sun protection, with wide brim hat and sunglasses. With me are every floatation device Kristin Froneman known to man, woman and child, a Frisbee, a cooler, and a folding chair. If I happen to be without kids, I indulge in a good book. I like my quiet and I love the feeling of sand between my toes, and the water lapping at my too-hot feet. I don’t bake well in the sun’s radiance. I crisp easily - good if you’re bacon, not if you are of the paler human race. I look at bronze bodies with envy. I wonder if they are constantly worrying about that dark freckle on their shoulder... Anyway, the point is that nobody notices me, but I notice you. And some of the things I see can be amusing, and maddening. There’s the saggy bottom boys, who don’t seem to know that boardies should fasten at the waist, not the hip. They love to congregate in droves, blasting their tunes on portable speakers for all to hear. It’d be nice if they’d drop it real low instead of playing DJ Snake and Lil Jon’s Turn Down for What, like really loud, even if it is an awesome song. Then there’s the girls in their teensyweensy bikinis. Hats off to those confident to embrace their bods. You go girl! But, alas, in reality those thongs are really feeding the tes-
At rAndoM
tosteroned imaginations of those aforementioned saggy bottom boys, and the occasional creepy leerer with the binoculars pretending to look at the bird life on shore - no pun intended. There’s an even scarier breed that I’ve observed on the beach, and they are not found right on the shore. Everyone knows who I’m talking about – that one obnoxious boater with the tunes cranked up so high, the bass reverberates off the hillside. I actually observed one Mensa member doing donuts – or the equivalent of a donut done by a boat – in the swimming area a few weeks ago. Yep, he/she was speeding right in between the buoys, and then spinning around in front of Kal pier. They did this a few times before I could get out to the end of the pier with my smartphone to film the incriminating evidence. This, to me, is the downfall of society those who feel they need to ruin what should be a relaxing, enjoyable and safe time at the beach just so you can show off your noisy, gas guzzling, floating piece of aluminum and fibreglass. Are we impressed? No! Are you an idiot? Yes! For the most part, the beach is a place where we should be able to take time for ourselves, with our families or with our community, whether it’s playing an exciting game of volleyball, building a sand castle the size of Versailles, or paddling off into the sunset. Thanks to your taxpaying municipalities, or in other words, us, these are mostly free activities that should be enjoyable, not abused. We shouldn’t have to compete for that space in the sand or water with someone being obnoxious. We should also make the beach special for our visitors - you know those beautiful people from all parts of the world who pay their way to come and stay here. Let’s share our patch of public shoreline by being gracious, not by throwing sand in their faces. Life can be a beach if you treat it with respect.
There was a lot of optimism as the Splatsin First Nation gathered with the North Okanagan and Columbia-Shuswap regional districts in Sicamous Wednesday. On a stretch of the discontinued rail line, the organizations signed a memorandum of understanding that commits them to find a way to acquire the corridor from Canadian Pacific for community use. “Forty years from now, what we are doing today will have an impact,” said Wayne Christian, Splatsin chief. And that certainly could be the case if the purchase occurs and a recreational corridor for visitors and locals is developed, giving a much-needed boost to the tourism sector. Some sections could also assist with outstanding issues like traffic congestion through Enderby. While the two regional districts are involved, the leadership for this process has come from the Splatsin. “Look at eco-tourism and what it can offer the region and the world. There are economic opportunities for the whole region, including our people,” said Christian. Wednesday’s ceremony came two weeks after the Truth and Reconciliation Commission recounted the often strained relationship between aboriginals and non-aboriginals in Canada. None of that was evident as leaders from Spallumcheen to Sicamous stood together. “I hope this is the first step of many we walk together,” said Rhona Martin, Columbia-Shuswap Regional District chairperson. A lot of work still has to occur, including a potential source of funds, and ultimately the rail line may not be acquired. But the fact that all of us as neighbours are working together is already the best outcome possible.

Hikers grateful for assistance
y wife and I recently planned a short hiking and walking vacation in the Vernon area and arrived May 25. On May 29, we started on the Rattlesnake Hill circuit above Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. It was a hot and humid day which made hard work of a very pleasant and non-strenuous hike. Lunch on top, a large rest and then we started down the trail towards the red gate parking lot. It should not have been difficult but my wife developed a balance problem due to heat exhaustion and reached a point where she could go no further. Luckily this was fairly close to a park bench and closer to the end of the trail than we knew. I started down to get help and met two girls coming up — sisters Katie and Carly who had a cell phone and called in professional help for us. Carly continued on up to keep my wife company and Katie came down with me to meet the emergency paramedics, whose ambulance arrived just before I got there. She went back up with the paramedics to show them the route, leaving me to brief the Vernon Search and Rescue team, which arrived about halfA RESPONSE Mr. Vedan has recently written a letter to The Morning Star regarding lyme disease. Although the letter makes many points, I will keep this short and to the point and just reference the one regarding B.C. Medical in general, and a "mainstream" medical doctors not supporting the testing and diagnosis of lyme disease. This is absolutely incorrect, and the very opposite has been the case now for many years. The actual facts can be found on the B.C. Medical web page, copied in part below: "February 29, 2008, recently there have been inaccurate and misleading reports on lyme disease and the method for diagnosing this disease in B.C." Here are the facts: Lyme disease is an illness caused by the bacterium, borrelia burgdorferi, which can be spread through the bite of certain types of ticks. In B.C., less than one per cent of the more than 4,600 ticks tested carry this bacterium, and cases of
an-hour later with some very far-out looking mechanized units. This team and I were driven back up the trail to the patient who seemed much better and by this time had collected quite a crowd. Heat exhaustion seemed to be the verdict of the the paramedics and the whole group of us drove back to the base and my wife was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital for observation. I hung around long enough to talk to both teams and then also followed to the hospital. A situation which could have ended badly was averted by the prompt and willing help of all concerned. The two girls set it up and stayed with it, and the emergency paramedic response was prompt and very welcome. The search and rescue team, a volunteer group, was very efficient and, later, the hospital medical care was all that one could wish. My wife was kept there for two nights and discharged on the Saturday morning. To all of these people, professional and otherwise, thank you very much for the help. Alan and June Banwell, North Vancouver
Lyme disease here remain rare. The B.C. Centre for Disease Control monitors the province for Lyme disease, and provides public alerts and information to physicians on the risks, signs, and symptoms of the disease. It also offers state-ofthe-art testing to assist doctors and patients with accurate diagnosis. Any British Columbian concerned about symptoms or exposure to lyme disease can access diagnostic tests, publicly covered under the Medical Services Plan. Lyme disease should be diagnosed through a clinical evaluation of the patient's symptoms and risk of exposure to infected ticks. A blood test may also be administered (supported by laboratory testing by the B.C. Centre for Disease Control), but this should not be interpreted in the absence of a clinical diagnosis. The B.C. Centre for Disease Control laboratory recommends a two-tiered approach to lyme disease testing. First, blood samples are screened with a sensitive enzyme immunoas-
say (EIA) test. Then, positive or suspicious results must be confirmed with a highly specific western blot test before lyme disease is positively identified. This approach is also recommended by the Association of State and Territorial Public Health Laboratory Directors and the U.S. Center for Disease Control.

The event was well-staged, and a very enjoyable way of getting to better know the merchants, artists, musicians and businesses of the region. We had fun strolling down Pleasant Valley Boulevard and Okanagan Street, sampling the various offerings while checking out the
wonderful artwork and merchandise, all accompanied by the tunes and songs of local musicians. This was also a wonderful opportunity to test and purchase a variety of items, which we did. Congratulations to the Armstrong Food Initiative Society, the Armstrong-Spallumcheen Arts Council, and the ArmstrongSpallumcheen Chamber of Commerce for collaborating and having the vision to bring such a unique experience to the community. To the organizers, sponsors, merchants, artisans and volunteers, we say a heartfelt thank you for hosting this event. We hope it continues to grow in size and popularity, as more businesses take advantage of this unique event. The extra effort involved is sure to be rewarded by cementing new customer relationships that will last for years to come. Well done. We raise our glasses to all of you. Deb Matheson and Rob Nichols

The competition finishes as the top two from each of the heifer and cow/calf classes return for the selection of the Grand and Reserve Champion Female of the Show. “The day winds up with an enjoyable banquet, awards presentation, and dance,” said Schweb. “Don’t forget to stop by the Horticultural Building to view the Educational Display Competition. You’ll be impressed by these interesting and educational displays and all the hard work the 4-H members have put into them.” The Okanagan 4-H Stock Show concludes Saturday, July 11 with the 4-H Parade of Champions, and the sale of Prime Grain Fed 4-H Beef commencing at 10 a.m. “This is a great opportunity to purchase high quality beef for your freezer. We welcome everyone to stop by the IPE Fairgrounds to watch the show, talk to the kids, and learn what 4-H is all about,” said Schweb. “We hope to see you there.” For more information contact Show Chairperson Fiawna Ladd at 250-308-9189.

Strilchuk sheds beard for CMHA Morning Star Staff
Ride Don’t Hide committee member Todd Strilchuk is following through on a fundraising promise he made to everyone who sponsored him this year. He agreed to shave his beard if his team, The Cycling Sullichuks, raised $2,000 prior to Sunday’s ride. Now that he’s reached that milestone, and the beard is coming off, he’s sweetened the pot. If his team reaches $4,000 he’s agreed to get a buzz cut. Todd’s team is currently $1,200 away from reaching that goal. Check for photo updates on the Ride Don’t Hide – Vernon Facebook group. Vernon’s Ride Don’t Hide event is happening on Sunday, June 21 at 9 a.m. at Creekside Park in Coldstream. Registration starts at 8 a.m. “There are routes for every level of rider from the wee ones on scoot bikes to triathletes,” said Strilchuk. You can register for the ride at www.ridedonthide.com or simply pick a rider/team and make a donation. “You are also welcome to show up to cheer on the riders and buy a barbecue burger by donation,” said Strilchuk as the grill is fired up at 11:30 a.m. “All of the proceeds raised in Vernon help to support programs and services at the local branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association.” This year’s national campaign is hoping to raise $1 million for mental health. “Bring your dad and the rest of your family

However, there is no DOWNTOWN VERNON timeline to bring the Cliff Crunch online as one major hurdle needs to be overcome. “We need a corporate sponsor to make and maintain the app,” said Baird. If the app takes hold and the Cliff Crunch proves popular, Baird would like to see an actual challenge take place for athletes. “It would be like an adventure race,” she th said.

Foam Fest sells out at Star Morning Star Staff
Making its first west coast appearance, Foam Fest rocked Silver Star Mountain Resort Saturday. For the first time ever, Silver Star Resort played host to the second season opener of the 5K Foam Fest. Due to the outstanding support and popularity, the 5K Foam Fest which came to Canada last summer kicked off their summer cross Canada tour with a soldout event. As the first ever Foam Fest on the west coast, 5,000 participants came out to Silver Star Saturday. The participants were beyond excited and had outfitted themselves in some outstanding costumes. The festival village was filled with more than 4,000 spectators and countless local vendors. There was music, child friendly obstacles, food and drinks, laughter and smiles wherever you turned. Foam Fest was brought to Canada in 2013 by 365 Sports Inc, a Canadian company founded in 2010. It specializes in brand management, field marketing, concept and development and event production. Their mission is to provide fresh, fun and innovative athletic events to challenge all participants; seasoned athletes and beginners alike. They are dedicated to inspiring a healthier, happier society through the combination of exercise and philanthropy. The 5K Foam Fest is open to participants eight years and up and registration is rolling all across the country. Kids seven and under can participate in the Festival Zone free of charge. The course is five kilometres long and features over 20 obstacles. The lily pads and D-Drop, the world largest inflatable water slide, seemed to be crowd favourites. “5K Foam Fest rocked Silver Star. So much fun,” said Amber Mackie, who hopes it returns to British Columbia in 2016. With 11 more stops across Canada, register yourself, team, significant other, family and anyone else you can think of online at www.5kfoamfest.ca. There will be food, drinks, along with a Festival Zone that will have several family-friendly activities for kids of all ages, and the kids at heart as well.

On a routine intelligence gathering mission in Tehran, Jack Ryan, Jr., has lunch with his oldest friend, Seth Gregory, an engineer overseeing a transcontinental railway project. As they part, Seth gives Jack a key, along with a perplexing message. The next day Jack is summoned to an apartment where two men claim Seth has disappeared—gone to ground with funds for a vital intelligence operation. Jack’s oldest friend has turned, they insist. They leave Jack with a warning: If you hear from Seth Gregory, call us immediately. And do not get involved. But they don’t know Jack. He won’t abandon a friend in need.

Efforts are underway to ensure the quality of Coldstream Creek and Kalamalka Lake. The Society for the Protection of Kalamalka Lake has received a $20,000 Okanagan Basin Water Board grant for the first phase of a land use and water quality assessment along Coldstream Creek because of the creek’s importance to the lake. “The first phase involves water sampling, analysis and reporting,” said Trina Koch, with SPrKL. “The purpose of the study is to locate areas where land use activities are impacting the creek so land owners, researchers and regulators can take action to reduce the impacts.” During two days in July or August, two field technicians with Western Water Associates and two SPrKL volunteers will walk the length of the creek between Kirkland Drive and Nobel Canyon and collect samples at upwards of 60 locations. Information about when the team will undertake sampling will be mailed to land owners along the creek. Three samples will be collected at each site, one creek sample and two near‐surface ground water samples. The samples will be analyzed for hardness, ammonia, alkalinity and full ion chromatography scan (chloride, bromide, sulfate, nitrate, nitrite, total nitrogen and orthophosphate). “Water quality results will be shared digitally with the Regional District of North Okanagan,” said Koch. The second half of the project involves routine sampling, reporting and sharing results with the public at a public meeting. Routine sampling will occur at the priority sites in October, during or just after high-flow conditions in the spring, and again during lowflow conditions in the summer.

Ward lands with ‘Pack TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
PARAGON CREATIVE PHOTO
Vernon’s Jadon Ward (5), who has spent the last three years playing college volleyball with Abbotsford’s Columbia Bible College Bearcats, will now try the university ranks after signing with the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack of Kamloops.
After three seasons of smashing the competition in the college ranks, Jadon Ward is ready to ‘Run with the Pack’ at the university level. Ward, 21, is a Seaton Sonics grad who spent three seasons in Abbotsford with the Columbia Bible College Bearcats men’s volleyball team, going to the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association nationals twice. “Out of high school I had a lot of options for volleyball. For me it was about going to a place with competitive ball and a chance to learn about my faith,” said Ward. Three years later, Ward went looking for the next challenge, the CIS. He red-shirted last season for the University of Fraser Valley Cascades and is transferring to Thompson Rivers University and joining the WolfPack this fall in Kamloops. “The decision was pretty easy; TRU plays at a higher level and I want to try it out,” said Ward, who obtained his bachelor of arts degree while at CBC. “It’s pretty close to home and I know a few people on the team.” The 6-foot-8 Ward played on Team B.C. with current WolfPack players Brad Gunter, Graham Stoliker and Nic Balasz during the 2011 Western Canada Summer Games. He will also reunite with former Sonic Charles Oduro Jr. “Charles is a big reason why I am heading to TRU. He is a good friend and I like to play alongside him,” said Ward, who will study psychology. Pat Hennelly is the men’s volleyball coach at TRU and worked with Ward on Team B.C. during the Western Canada Summer Games which took place on the WolfPack’s home court, the Tournament Capital Centre. “I really liked playing underneath him, he is a great coach,” said Ward. Ward’s offensive prowess should bolster the
13-11 Pack’s attack next season as they search for a return to the national spotlight. “I am looking forward to adding Jadon to our program. I have been following him ever since the Western Canada Summer Games,” said Hennelly. “I like Jadon’s versatility. He has played both middle and the right side in the CCAA.” During his first year at CBC, Ward and the Bearcats hosted nationals. It’s an experience he won’t soon forget. “Playing in front of 1,000, 2,000 fans was pretty sweet. I didn’t get nervous or anything, it was just awesome when the crowd went wild after each point,” recalled Ward. Despite Ward’s 10-block performance in the semifinals, the Bearcats lost to Douglas Royals of New Westminster and finished fourth. Ward was planning on red-shirting a year regardless of where he went in order to complete his internship with the Gateway Community Christian Reform Church, working with the ministry. That way he could practice, work, go to school and maintain CIS eligibility down the road. “Jadon is a good student, hard worker and nice guy. He will help our practice environment and help transition this program from the veterans this year to the younger guys in 2016-17,” said Hennelly. “Jadon brings a great presence at the net especially with blocking. He has a consistent serve. Ward is a fiend on offence, playing the middle or right side attack positions.” “The right side has more glory to it, and the middle is more challenging and carries greater responsibility,” said Ward. “I always like the challenge of playing in the middle.” The WolfPack are a year removed from taking bronze at the CIS West finals. Gunter, who was CIS Player of the Year in 2013-14, missed most of last season with an injury.
Kreutz captures Zone 2 Order of Merit A second-place finish at the season-ending championship clinched the 2015 Zone 2 Junior Golf Tour Order of Merit for Vernon’s Matt Kreutz. Rounds of 74 and 77 at Gallagher’s Canyon in Kelowna gave Kreutz a twoday total of 151, two shots behind the tour championship winner, Brody Anjo of Kelowna, who fired rounds
of 71 and 78 for a 149 finish. Vernon’s Austin Bosquet had rounds of 79 and 75 at Gallagher’s to finish fourth overall, and ended up second in the Order of Merit. Kreutz and Bosquet, who are both slated to play university golf this fall for the Minot State Beavers in North Dakota, will be joined by Anjo and Brandon Whistle on the

Juvenile Boys and Girls Championships Aug. 18 to 20 at the Spallumcheen
Golf Club. Wilkins, who was the overall Zone 2 bantam champion, finished fifth at the tour final, shooting rounds of 76 and 82. Cooper was ninth overall in Kelowna after rounds of 79 and 81. Jared Larsen and Parker Wadsworth were the only other Vernon golfers to crack the top-20 at the tour championship. Larsen was
13th with two rounds of 81, and Parker Wadsworth was 18th with back-to-back rounds of 82. Other Vernon golfers competing at Gallagher’s Canyon included Zac Gardner (30th, 84-85169); Dexter Weiten (33rd, 85-86-171); Hunter Penalva (45th, 86-100-186); Ryan PHOTO SUBMITTED Vest (46th, 97-90, 187); Matt Kreutz won the Zone 2 Taylor Scott (54th, 97-107junior golf tour Order of Merit. 204);

Tigers withstand Kamloops attack a chance to extend his last season of junior lacrosse.” Mason, who turns 21 in July, was third in Raiders scoring with 9-8-17. He is thrilled to be playing with the unbeaten Tigers. “I love it, I’m so happy to be here,” said Mason. “I got a text from my coach last Sunday asking if I was interested in joining the Tigers. I knew a couple of guys on the team and I’m just really excited to be playing here.” The Tigers return to action Saturday, June 27, when they host Armstrong at Kal Tire Place. The Shamrocks (4-8) host the Kelowna Raiders (0-10-1) at the Nor-Val Sports Center tonight. Game time is 7:30. Armstrong trails the third-place Venom by three points.

Davidson collects cash, gold medal The riders drafted each other and exchanged the lead several times over the fast mile-long track. It was Davidson who came into the final corner with the lead, with Ware in second. Ware fell victim to the rough and potholed-corner which had taken down many riders during day and he crashed, but was unhurt. Tony Grenier of Abbotsford was second and Manu Dehamel of Penticton was third. The racers would like to thank the event’s sponsors, the neighbourhood residents for their cooperation and event organizer jamie Hickey.

After a sizzling start to the Pee Wee AA baseball spring league playoffs, the Vernon Canadians ran out of steam at McArthur Island Park in Kamloops. In the bronze medal game, top-ranked Kelowna whacked the Canadians in five innings 11-1 Sunday morning. Eric Foufoulas was game MVP and Sapion Joe was named the top pitcher of the tournament. The Canadians downed the eventual tourney champ Kelowna in extra innings, 13-12, in the opener Saturday morning. Tye Fore singled to centre to score Dylan Frank and the winning run. Joe was named game MVP with a sac fly RBI and a few stellar plays on defence. Cole Hutchinson started on the mound and pitched 4.2 innings, keeping his team in it by getting ground balls and strike outs. Jack Janzen swung the biggest bat for the C’s with two doubles, a single, three RBI and a run scored. The C’s consistent offence kept them alive with big innings early
and late. Ryan Vandesande scored a pair of runs with a screaming double down the third base line and struck out two batters in an inning of relief. Jared Nickoli then cashed a pair of runs in with a single, hopped on the mound with a tie game in the seventh and kept Kelowna off the board. The Canadians edged Penticton 5-2 Saturday afternoon to finish first in their pool. Seiji Bott was MVP after closing the last 2.2 innings with three strike outs. The C’s received great pitching all game. Janzen pitched in relief and fanned four batters over two innings. Joe scored the first run for the C’s when he cashed in Jackson Soucy on a sac fly. Joe later stole two bags and pitched a scoreless inning. Foufoulas and Hutchinson came home on passed balls and Nickoli recorded an RBI single. Rutland halted the Canadians 9-6 in the semis Sunday morning. Vandesande was MVP for the Canadians.
King a queen for U13 Reds Morning Star Staff
The U13 girls Red team melted the Icebreakers 3-0 in North Okanagan Youth Soccer League house action Saturday. Quita King was player of the match for being a sensational defender and saving a ball on her goal line for the Icebreakers. Keeper Kaylee Goodrich was solid and had excellent goal kicks moving the ball up the field. Livia Kowalski shined up front with four shots on net, but couldn’t squeak one past the Reds’ keeper. The U13 boys Fairfield Inn handed the Printech Gold Prowlers their first loss of the season, 4-2. Fairfield Inn jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first half. The Prowlers responded in the second with goals from Jackson Buller and Tage Kineshanko. Brad Cramer and Ben Molitwenik supplied the helpers. With the Prowlers within striking distance, Fairfield Inn pulled away after picking up the insurance tally. The Italian Kitchen Scrubs slipped past Team 1 4-3 in a cooker last Friday night. Aiden Buckley and Braydon Beese each sniped a pair for the kitchen crew. In rep play from the weekend, Vernon United U12 girls were held without a goal in two games in Kamloops.

Timber remain perfect on pitch Morning Star Staff
Five minutes were all North Enderby Timber needed to keep its perfect North Okanagan Soccer League season intact. NET (9-0-0) opened the scoring five minutes in and went on to a 4-0 win over city rivals Turn-Key Controls Wednesday at MacDonald Park. Kyle Fertile sent in Brent Poulsen on the breakaway, and Poulsen beat Turn-Key (4-4-1) keeper Gregg Douma with one touch to the top corner. Poulsen continued to roll 10 minutes later when Dan Aikema played a perfectly weighted long ball over top of everyone, letting Poulsen outrun the defence before cutting the ball back around the lanky Turn-Key defender and beating Douma low. Finlay McPhie added some insurance in the second half on a penalty kick after he was taken down on a breakaway. Fertile capped the timber offence on a beautiful solo effort beating multiple defenders and the controllers’ keeper. Victor Gouchee earned his third clean sheet in a row making multiple all star saves. In the other all-Vernon derby, Monashees and Peters Tirecraft played to scoreless draw at Mac Park. Brock Ream did a great job distributing the ball in the midfield, while forwards Justin Mitchell and Clark Richardson provided a ton of spark up front for Peters Tirecraft (1-5-3), who maintain a one-point lead over Monashees (1-6-2) at the bottom of the table.
The Gray Monk/ Longhorn Impact stifled the Adventure Bay Sistas 6-0 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters play Tuesday night at Marshall Field #2. This was the first week where teams were realigned into top and bottom divisions. Yvonne Rogers sniped a hat trick and Stacey Cover, Edeen Yamada and Ashley Buechler added singles for the Impact (4-3-3). Lynnelle Erbacker debuted at centre defence for the 1-9 Sistas and was the Taking Care of Business player of the game. The Squires Four Pub downed the
Shuswap Chaos 4-0 on the newly renovated Marshall Field #1. Squires Four Pub led 1-0 at half after Leah Frye set up Jacquie Hansen. The Pub Crew (8-11) duo of Frye and Hansen struck again when Hansen chipped one over the Chaos (5-4-1) keeper. Frye was dropping dimes all over the place, finding Lori Shippy, who made it 3-0. Hansen capped the night off by pulling the hat trick when Irene Arrotta set her up with a nice feed. Lisa Arrotta earned the shutout. TED United doubled the Chick Kickers 4-2 in Salmon Arm.

It’s no easy feat to reach the pinnacle of academic achievement as an undergraduate student, topping thousands of others for top honours. But Dakota Broadfoot, graduating with a bachelor of arts in Psychology from UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences, has done just that.
Broadfoot has been named Governor General’s Silver Medal award winner, granted to the undergraduate achieving the highest consistent academic standing over a fouryear bachelor’s degree program at UBC. “It’s such an honour,” says Broadfoot, who is from Vernon. “I had no idea I would get an award like this.” Broadfoot has also

Clinical Trial Results
• Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles • Increases Skin Elasticity • Thickens and Strengthens Hair • Strengthens Nails By now you know. Adding body collagen directly reduces wrinkles, increases skin elasticity, and adds vital moisture to your skin. Indirectly, collagen thickens and strengthens your hair. You may also know that collagen production slows by 1% per year after the age of 21. Can you gain it back? Yes. But not by eating collagen. You see, collagen is a protein. When you ingest it, your body breaks it down, like any other protein, and uses it as food. When you want the real beauty benefits of collagen, you have to generate it.
BioSil generates collagen by activating the collagen producing cells in your body known as fibroblasts. It is clinically proven to increase collagen formation. In fact, in the clinical trial the women taking BioSil™ reduced wrinkles by 30%, increased skin elasticity by 89% and thickened and strengthened their hair by 13% compared to women not taking BioSil™. So when you want genuine visible results from collagen, generate it, don’t eat it. Experience the beautiful difference for yourself! ™

In addition to her work as a teaching assistant, Broadfoot was a member of the Psychology Course Union, and also served on the Department of Psychology’s (UBC Okanagan Campus) Board of Researchers for the Canadian Psychological Association. As a senior member of Davies’s lab, she also oversaw students and helped with their dayto-day demands of running subjects, and taught them how to successfully navigate their undergraduate program. Broadfoot’s research
was in terror management theory (TMT). Part of this involved using test subjects of different ethnic backgrounds to assess perpetrators of a mock bank fraud crime. Participants, acting as potential jurors, were reminded of their own mortality and then asked to recommend a sentence for the alleged suspect. With an interest in psychology since taking a course in Grade 12, Broadfoot may have an opportunity to explore these theories when she enrolls in the law program at Dalhousie University this fall. Broadfoot’s never been shy in seeking out the help of her supervisor, professors and peers, whom she credits with showing her the way. “Surround yourself with people who will make you better and support you. I am grateful to all of the people who have supported me throughout the years, not the least of whom being my family and friends.”
Hero’s shave it off for cancer Morning Star Staff
To Lindsay James, Melissa Gobbett is a hero. Gobbett, a Vernon wife and mother of two young boys, has been battling a cancerous brain tumour since she was diagnosed in late 2013. James, owner of the Scarlet Studio and Artisan Market on 30th Avenue in Vernon, is putting on a fundraiser in honour of Gobbett. Called Hero’s Shave It Off, the event will run at Scarlet Studio and Artisan Market July 11 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. “All proceeds will be going to the Canadian Cancer Society for brain cancer,” said James. You can nominate a teacher, firefighter, paramedic, police officer, teacher or anyone you deem a local hero for $20 to shave off their hair for cancer by posting a picture of them on the Scarlet Studio’s Facebook page and why you’re nominating them. “Or you can be a true hero and volunteer yourself,” said James. Gobbett will be on hand to do a few shaves herself. Please include a full name and phone number of the nominee. Nominations can be made at www.facebook. com/thescarletstudio.

IH issues alert about measles vaccine Morning Star Staff
Interior Health’s medical health officer is reminding members of the public to make sure their immunizations are up to date, particularly those protecting against measles. The Interior Health region has recently had one confirmed case of measles in a travelling Albertan who became ill and was diagnosed in Penticton. Communities in the Fraser Health region and Alberta have experienced large measles outbreaks this spring. “So far, in Interior Health, we have only had one recent measles case, but that can change at any time especially with the increase in measles activity that we have seen in other parts of B.C. and Canada,” said Dr. Rob Parker. “Measles is a potentially severe illness caused by a virus and it is very contagious. The best way to prevent a measles outbreak here is by making sure our immunization rates are high.” Those born before 1970 are considered immune, as measles exposure in childhood was quite common in the decades prior to routine immunization. But for those born after 1970, the only protection against measles is immunization. It takes two doses of a measles vaccine to protect against the disease. In B.C., children routinely receive two doses of the measles, mumps, rubella vaccine at 12 months of age and again when they start kindergarten, unless their parents refuse to have them vaccinated. Anyone who received only one dose of the vaccine is not considered to be immune. Parker said for those who believe they were properly vaccinated, it is very important to verify that two doses of the vaccine were received. This can be done by checking your immunization record. If you are not sure how to access your immunization record visit ImmunzeBC ( http : / / w w w. i m mu nizebc.ca/questions-
answer/how-do-i-getproof-my-immunity-orwhere-can-i-find-my-
immunization-record) or contact your local public health centre.
Measles spreads easily through the air and can be passed to others
by an infectious person for one to two days before symptoms devel-
op and up to four days after the appearance of a rash.

George Wright is taking part in the Do It For Dad Run and Walk Sunday. hormone therapy. He also visits a whole health clinic that helps with spiritual needs as well as nutrition, exercise and healthy food preparation. “If you get focused on the illness, you can get pretty overwhelmed,” he said. “All the specialists have
been incredibly good.” Wright is a member of the Vernon Prostate Support and Awareness Group (PSA Group). The PSA Group meets the fourth Monday of each month from September to June at the People Place, providing men and their families with informa-
tion and support. The PSA Group also partners with Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation for the annual Do it For Dad Run and Walk to raise money for equipment to diagnose and treat prostate cancer in the North Okanagan. Funds also pay for PSA screening vouchers. PSA screenings are not covered by medical services unless a man has a history of prostate cancer. “It’s great that we have events like Do it For Dad to help to get the word out and to raise money for treatment.” The Do it For Dad Run and Walk, presented by Interior Savings, takes place Sunday at Coldstream Ranch. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and the race starts at 9:30 a.m. To register or donate, visit www.vjhfoundation.org or call 250-558-1362.

How many times have you found yourself uttering that familiar lament, “If I knew then what I know now?” For George Wright, it has been a haunting refrain for the past two years. When the Edmonton firefighter retired to Vernon in 2005, he looked forward to an active lifestyle in the sunny Okanagan. Like many men, prostate testing was the last thing on his mind. “I never heard about a prostate test until I was 64. When I asked my doctor for one, he said he wouldn’t test unless there were signs or symptoms,” he said. Unfortunately, two years later, when the symptoms appeared for Wright, he was not only diagnosed with prostate cancer, but the cancer had metastasized to his lymph nodes. “It was devastating to my wife and me. Your life is totally turned upside down.” When Wright called family members with the news, he was shocked to learn that his brother had been diagnosed with prostate cancer two years previously. “Men don’t like to talk about it. The doctor never even told my brother to tell other males in the family,” said Wright. While there’s no turning back the clock to change his circumstances, Wright hopes to help others have a better future. “Once you turn 50, I tell guys to get a PSA test. It’s just a blood test to give you a benchmark. It’s what you do afterwards that can have risks, but early diagnosis can save your life.” Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Canadian men and men with a father or brother who has had prostate cancer are two times more likely to develop prostate cancer than men with no family history of the disease. Wright’s treatment includes radiation and

Windmills maps out his music landscape From the PEAK to Storyhive, to a new album and tours, Vernon’s Windmills keeps moving all over the place Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Like his music moniker, Cory Myraas likes to keep things moving. The musician, known as Windmills, isn’t resting on his laurels despite a year that would make most people’s heads spin like the blades on a wind turbine. Not only has he been working on his soon-to-be released third album, he has received funding to film a video for one of the songs off said album. He has also toured thousands of kilometres across this nation, twice, and just three weeks ago was made aware that he is in the top 12 of the prestigious PEAK Performance Project. “You could sum it up as I’ve toured everywhere, played everywhere, and done more than I thought I could do,” said Windmills, who is home in Vernon for a brief rest before life gets a little too crazy. Like his second album Tilting, released in winter 2013, his third and latest album, Maps, to be released in the fall, has been made possible with a FACTOR (Foundation to Assist Canadian Talent on Records) grant. Recorded at Echoplant Sound, a Coquitlam-based studio owned and operated by producer Ryan Worsley, Windmills first laid down two tracks for the album in March, 2014. He returned to the studio in January this year and tracked five new songs and plans to return in July to finish the album. “At first the deadline was overly ambitious but we have set realistic guidelines and have now received approval to push the deadline back to October,” said Windmills, who met Worsley through Kamloops band Van Damsel, who coincidently are also in the top 12 of this year’s PEAK Performance Project. In the past, Windmills played all his own instruments on his recordings, with a guitar, looping pedal and a floor tom, as he does live. His live show has now burgeoned to include a drum sample pad and a lap top that triggers the backing tracks. “It opens up my ability to perform with

Vernon musician Windmills (aka Cory Myraas) is releasing a few smoke bombs with an upcoming album, Maps, and the recent announcement he has made it into the top 12 of the prestigious PEAK Performance Project. a progressive and more full sound,” said Windmills. In the studio, he provides Worsley with a base version of that sound, then together they add production elements such as drums, bass and keyboards. “I have a recording program on my computer so I do rough demos that I bring to him so that he can be familiar with the songs when we go into the studio. It makes a huge difference to the tracking. It’s nice seeing the demos to the transition. When it comes to audio engineering I know nothing, but this has opened it up,” said Windmills, adding, “Ryan is honest and not afraid to tell me the truth. As a solo artist you need that feedback. Ryan and his assistant are my new ears.” That enhanced new sound has its fans already. Windmills released the first single off Maps, Face to a Name, last May. “It premiered on (music blog) Indie Shuffle to a great response,” he said. More recently, April 15 to be exact, he
released the second single, the title track Maps, premiering it again on Indie Shuffle, and it received an even bigger response. “After the first week, we had 10,000 plays. We went on tour the same morning the song came out. I think I tried to kill myself with exhaustion.” That tour, with fellow artist Mark Mills, took Windmills to 10 shows in 11 days from Victoria to Winnipeg, playing to full houses including at Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom. Then on May 1, Windmills set off again, this time with his friends from Van Damsel, for a tour that saw then travel in a Handy Dart bus all the way to Montreal. “That was an equally good tour where we both did showcases for Canada Music Week (in Toronto),” he said. “Montreal was amazing. The bar wanted to show the (Stanley Cup playoffs) elimination game between Montreal and Tampa Bay first. Montreal won, so everyone was in a good mood.” Next up is the good natured competition between Windmills and his musical colleagues, who are vying to top the PEAK
Performance Project, which is in its seventh and final year in B.C. Windmills found out he was a finalist for the project, which is designed to educate, promote, develop and launch the careers of some of B.C. and Alberta’s up-and-coming artists, when he returned from playing the Sasquatch Music Festival at Washington’s Gorge venue. “I stared getting texts congratulating me. At that time, I had no idea I had made it,” he said. “It’s a good boost – not my primary focus, but is good exposure to give to people on the Coast and get played on the radio. It’s nice validation regardless what happens down the road.” Prizes this year include a $102,700 top prize, $75,000 second prize, $50,000 third prize, as well as a $5,000 base camp award given to each of the top 12 finalists to help them with their career development. “Of the 12 bands/artists in the finals, I know six of them, so it should be a good time. This is the last year for B.C., so we want to make our mark on the PEAK scene,” said Windmills, who will need fans to vote for him during the public voting segment in October to make it to the top three. He also plans to hold a showcase here in Vernon, with the details to be announced. And that’s not all. Windmills is not only a finalist in the PEAK, but is also one of 20 winners in Telus’ Storyhive music video funding project. Community votes decided what 20 projects would each receive a $10,000 grant and distribution on Telus Optik TV On Demand. Windmills worked with independent videographer/filmmaker Brandon Fletcher on the video to his song, Shame, which he says is influenced by films such as 2001 A Space Odyssey and The Lord of the Rings trilogy. “We had a drone to shoot some of the footage in the mountains,” said Windmills. “It’s cool to be watched and listened to at the same time, but, in this case, I’m not even in the video.” The next phase of the Storyhive competition starts July 17 and goes back to public voting, where one video from each province is chosen as the winner. A prize of $30,000 will go towards producing a new music video plus documentary, training and mentorship opportunities, as well as distribution on Telus Optik TV On Demand.

lectronic music pioneer Giorgio Moroder’s first solo album in 30 years, Deja Vu, finds the musician/ producer revisiting past glories. The only glitch is that Moroder hasn’t altered his sound Dean Gordon-Smith and vision since his heyday. Moroder’s work with Donna Summer (Love to Love you, Baby, I Feel Love) ushered in the age of electronic dance music and disco. His role was that of a futurist, an experimenter in beats and synthesizers. His soundtrack work was

equally powerful, using groundbreaking material for films like Midnight Express and Cat People, which led to massive successes on later films like Flashdance and Top Gun. Deja Vu nips at the heels of his cameo on Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories, which fired up the 75-year-old musician’s creative spark. But Moroder mostly sticks to his old repertoire of synthesizers, beats and singers. Moroder’s collaborative process makes it logical to work with vocalists and Deja Vu reads like a roll call of stars: Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue, Sia, Mikkey Ekko, Charli XCX, Kelis... all fall under the synth man’s production wizardry. There aren’t any surprises, rather a return to form as 4 U With Love swirls in with an anthemic bravado. The sound is familiar – the classic pulse of nightclub dance music that Moroder envi-
sioned and Summer churned out. The album is divided into two areas: billowy ballads and hyperrepetitive beat factory extravaganzas. The bright disco sheen of yesteryear is always present. Throwbacks like La Disco and Tempted offer a jammy contrast to the electro-fest that Moroder offers up. The guests are the feature that varies the texture of the tracks. Otherwise Deja Vu would be a dynamic downer. While Daft Punk’s album offered variations on funk, electronic rock and new wave, Deja Vu is lost in DJ land. Moroder’s synthesizer showcase, 74 is the New 24, is a slice of electronic comfort food. As cool and hypnotic as it is, it’s unchanged since 1975. Moroder doesn’t bring anything new to the table (after his last album, 30 years ago) but a large helping of ear candy.

Rated as one of the best blues singers and harmonica players in the business, Doucette left home at 15 with a harmonica and a $20 bill in his pocket bound for Vancouver, where he was a staple of the music scene there for more than 30 years. Born into a musical family in North Battleford, Sask., Doucette has been playing music since he was a young boy. In 1977, he survived a massive explosion in a lumber mill that left him with burns to more than 50 per cent of his body. His determination to recover earned him his nickname “Tank.” Now based in Kelowna, Doucette and his band are wowing and entertaining audiences throughout the Okanagan and Shuswap. Music by the River starts Sunday at 7 p.m. at Belvidere Park, located by the bridge in Enderby. Bring a chair or blanket. In case of rain, the concert will be moved to the Enderby Drill Hall.

T
wenty years after being first conceived, built and subsequently destroyed, Jurassic World, the only real dinosaur theme park, is finally a success. Twenty thousand patrons per day are treated to exhibitions, demonstrations and a dino safari. Young Gray (Ty Simpkins) and his teenage brother Zach (Nick Robinson) experience a VIP tour of Jurassic World because their Aunt Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) is park manager. Owen (Chris Pratt) is a dino-wrangler at the park who has imprinted himself as the alpha of four raptors, now fully grown. Although still wild animals, the raptors respond to his commands. Hoskins (Vincent D’Onofrio) is a military liaison interested in Owen’s experiment. Hidden away, not ready for public viewing, a gene spliced, new dinosaur has been created, the Indominus Rex. (Sort of a T-Rex with arms.) When Indominus Rex escapes his paddock and runs amok, everyone reremembers they’re at a park full of giant monsters, with which they must now do battle or be food. We say, “Jurassic World puts the monster first.” TAYLOR: There’s no denying that Jurassic World is fun. Little kids will be scared, but only enough to sit on mom’s lap. Adults will appreciate the straight forward thrill of being hunted by monsters, without the introductory magic of the original, or the unimaginative B-story of the sequels. This film’s subplot is a bit tacked-on, (dysfunc-

tional family dynamic, again) but it is briefly addressed and then more people are chased and eaten. Oh, yes! Many people will be eaten, albeit tidily. It’s scary, not gory, unless you’re grossed out by crunching sounds. HOWE: Well I am going to have to disagree with you, I didn’t find it fun. I didn’t even find it that exciting. When the original Jurassic Park came
out in ‘93 it blew me away. We had never seen such realistic looking dinosaurs on the screen. Nowadays, you can flick on the TV or go online and watch Walking with Dinosaurs. The problem I have with Jurassic World is the storyline. It’s like they have crammed the original two together and made one movie. There’s not even a comedic aspect to it. Yes they tried, with the tech guy wearing the original Jurassic Park T-shirt, but even his one-liners fell short. Oh, where is Jeff Goldblum when you need him? FENIN: It had some scary moments, Dad. The big dinosaur was really scary but not too
much. I liked some of the rides that they went on. They looked cool. But my favourite bit was seeing the T-Rex again. TAYLOR: Fenin, you are a brave boy. I saw plenty of kids your age hiding their eyes to certain parts. Your dad is right. We were all blown away by the original film, but we can’t go back and reclaim its novelty. We expect contemporary dinosaur depictions to look, not necessarily be realistic. It’s true the film goes through the motions rather clumsily, but the backstory is almost inconsequential to a film starring monstrous inhabitants. I’m fine with letting pap slide as long as people

Do It For Dad is a family affair Cara Brady Morning Star Staff
Do It For Dad, for papa, daddy, pop, pa, the old man, for grandpa, opa, grandpère, but do it. Sam Dewinetz, who turned four June 18, says, “I do it for my dada.” Sam will be at his third Do It For Dad walk/run at Coldstream Ranch on Father’s Day with his dada, Jason Dewinetz. Community service is a family tradition starting when Sam’s great-great-greatgrandfather, William MacKenzie, arrived in Vernon in 1907 to start MacKenzie’s Menswear. Everyone in the family has made many community contributions ever since. This is the 15th year that Sam’s grandmother, Bobbe MacKenzie and great-aunt Marnie MacKenzie have taken part in the event, which has all the money raised staying locally to help men who can’t afford testing for prostate cancer. “April Sanders is my friend and was my doctor at the time she started the walk, which is in its 16th year. When she told me about it, we had lost our father not long before, not to cancer, but our sister Linda did die of cancer, and we knew we wanted to take part,” said Bobbe MacKenzie. She got her sister, Marnie Mackenzie, who is blind, involved right away. “She came over to my apartment and said, ‘Here’s your T-shirt, here’s your pledge sheet. Go raise some money,’” said Marnie, who got on the phone and raised more than $1,500 the first year. She raised more than $25,000 in total over the following years. “It’s a good walk. I go with my white cane. It’s a little rough underfoot in places but I think anybody who likes walking out-
“This is for daddies who need to go to the doctor.” — Sam Dewinetz, four
doors could do it and enjoy it. And anyone can contribute something. One year I had a senior give 74 cents because that was all she had, but the contributions of any amount add up quickly,” said Marnie. Bobbe remembers that Sam did the walk in his stroller the first year. “He comes to the Upper Room Mission with me to help and learn about thinking of others. He told me, ‘This is for daddies who need to go to the doctor.’ He said he is going to walk the whole thing this year. It is accessible and a very nice walk on the ranch with the cows. One year the cows all lined up and watched us like we were a parade. It all takes place early so families can do other things for Father’s Day too,” she said. Jason Dewinetz likes joining his family for the walk/run. “It’s obviously a good cause and it has quickly become a family tradition for us,” he said. The money raised through Do It For Dad stays in the community to help provide testing for men who can’t afford the test for early detection. “That’s unfair. Women get mammograms for free,” Bobbe noted. “We want to be sure that all men have the test and that benefits them, their families and the community.” The event also features face painting, warmup exercises, food and a friendly donkey.

Group launches program searching for local French immersion graduates VANCOUVER — Students in the Vernon School District have been learning French, through popular programs like French immersion, since 1974. Many of these graduates have been changed in some way, shape or form by their experience. Some went on exchanges to French speaking regions, others continued their language studies and landed jobs in a variety of fields and professions. As part of a summer-long project, Canadian Parents for French is on the search for many of these graduates from Vernon to ask them: Where Are They Now? “Graduates of French immersion programs include Olympians, journalists, engineers, ministers, teachers and so much more. For many others, learning French created some unique opportunity, be it socially, culturally or professionally. We launched the WhereAreTheyNow.ca project to catch
up with French immersion graduates from Vernon, capture their experiences, and share their stories to help inspire current students,” said Patti Holm, president, Canadian Parents for French B.C. & Yukon. A 1996 graduate of French immersion in the district joined the Canadian Forces as an Army Reserve musician, while attending college, and took arts credits in French. “I was posted to the Central Band of the Canadian Forces in Ottawa in 2006, where I discovered that more than half of the unit were francophone, requiring me to make use of my French skills,” she said. “Knowing the value of my experience in learning French through the immersion program, my three children are currently in French Immersion.” Canadian Parents for French is a parent-led non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and supporting French
second language opportunities for all youth. Canadian Parents for French BC & Yukon, together with Canadian Parents for French Alberta, Radio-Canada, Canadian Heritage and the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages, has set out to discover where French language education has led B.C., Yukon and Alberta students in their professional, personal, social and cultural lives. We want to hear from graduates from your community so that we can learn how they used their French language education after high school. Ultimately, this project will help reconnect with French language graduates, digitally capture many of their personal stories and help inspire the current generation of French language learners.

Suspense novel climbs the bestsellers list Vernon author James Osborne’s new novel is earning praise at home and internationally For The Morning Star
A suspense novel by Vernon author James Osborne has been attracting early praise from reviewers and climbing up the bestsellers lists. The novel, The Ultimate Threat, was released worldwide last week on Amazon by British publisher Endeavour Press Ltd. of London. By Saturday it had reached Number 20 on Amazon’s Kindle top seller list for thriller and espionage books. Tom Kasey, author of the bestselling novel Cold Kill, described Osborne’s novel as “A brilliant action story ripped straight from the headlines.” Osborne said his novel is “quite intentionally a disturbing glimpse into the heinous crimes being committed daily by religious extremists. “But it is also a deeply compassionate account of the horrendous suffering by millions of innocent people simply because they had the misfortune of being present when those barbarians attacked their homelands.” Economist Marilyn
Cottrell of Burlington, Ont., called the novel outstanding. “The Ultimate Threat is a compelling read — an action-packed thriller coupled with human emotions and human tragedy . . . there is a new twist as you turn every page,” said Cottrell, a university professor and self-described addict of thriller novels. Five years in the making, Osborne said the novel is a fictional account of the rapid spread of terrorism in recent years across the Middle East, Africa and Europe, but with a difference. “I have superimposed this unsettling story onto genuine surroundings in American cities. The objective is to bring home to everyone in the West the potential implications of the savagery being committed by ISIS and other barbarians like them, and their wannabe imitators. “Make no mistake, unless we learn how to act more effectively we may find ourselves subjected to the same unspeakable sadism, on a much larger scale than we’ve already
seen in New York, Paris, London, Nairobi, Boston, Ottawa . . . the list grows.” British writer James Ferron Anderson, author of the popular novel, The River and The Sea, described The Ultimate Threat as “an up-to-the minute, exciting, fast-moving thriller that ties in with the terrible events of ISIS terrorism . . . brought right to the doorsteps of North American citizens.” Anderson said he found the novel extremely visual with “scene after scene coming alive in front of me
as the pages went by. Indeed, I found myself at times mentally casting it for a movie.” “I have but only two thumbs to raise in praise of The Ultimate Threat,” said retired businessman Tim Young. “I wish I had more.” Osborne is a former investigative journalist and corporate executive who turned to fiction writing after semi-retiring a decade ago. An avid reader, he says the first book he can remember browsing through cover-to-cover was The Complete Encyclopedia Britannica.

The MX-5 fully embraces the Kodo or “Soul of Motion” design language that inspires clean and crisp lines on new and future Mazda products. You won’t find hard edges on this car, but you will find a flowing form that is highly attractive at a standstill. While the looks of a car are essential, it’s not what the MX-5 relies on for its cult-like following. It’s the drive. The MX-5 is a car that can make you feel like a hero, or a champion without breaking too many road rules. It’s a car whose steering, suspension and transmission work so seamlessly together with the driver that it requires effort not to enjoy yourself. If the Laws of Attraction are yet again on my side, the 2016 Mazda MX-5 and I will cross paths again. Hopefully sooner rather than later. The 2016 Mazda MX-5 (the GX trim) has a starting MSRP of $31,900. The GS has an MSRP of $35,300 and the GT of $39,200. All three trims can be outfitted with the six-speed manual or the six-speed automatic for the same price.

That’s solidified with the fourth generation. Without getting too technical, dimensionally, it has changed. It’s actually smaller – the overhangs in the front and rear don’t hang as much – yet space is used even more efficiently inside. The driver sits lower, and so does the engine. I’m not a particularly tall individual, but my driving partner, an above average height male, didn’t find himself as cramped as he thought he would be. Even when we put the top up, claustrophobia was nowhere to be found. And speaking of top up driving, cabin noise is reduced significantly. Thanks to an aluminum front panel and insulating headliner, wind noise is cut by 40 per wwcent. With the top down, engineers have used their wizardry – or in this case, scientific knowhow – to keep cabin wind at bay and to allow conversations to be carried on without having to yell. And without too much hair being blown around. Side note: ladies, bring a hair tie just in case. Perhaps MX-5 admirers should also bring their sunglasses, because this front-engine, rear-wheel drive car is hot. Hot meaning sexy. And sexy in regards to its styling.

Laura Moncur, who specializes in motivational quotations, said, “I’ve decided that the key to happiness is low expectations.” Is that really motivational? In one sense, yes; but in another, no. Still, at the bridge table, low leads tend to be happier than high leads because they show strength, not weakness, in the suit. How is that important in this deal? South is in three notrump. West leads his fourth-highest heart. What happens after that? If you are suffering from deja vu, do not worry. The North and East hands are identical to yesterday’s, but the other two hands have been modified.
South starts with seven top tricks: four spades, two hearts and one club. Needing more club winners, declarer takes East’s heart queen with his ace, plays a spade to dummy’s king, and runs the club queen. West wins with his king, but what does he do next? West should realize that South has the heart king. If declarer had only the ace in the suit, surely he would have made a holdup play at trick one. And if South has the heart king, continuing the attack on that suit cannot be right. Instead, West should hope that his partner has the diamond ace. At trick four, West shifts to the diamond deuce. East wins with his ace, but how does he know whether to return a heart (as was required in yesterday’s
deal) or a diamond (as is necessary here)? It is West’s card that gives the answer. The lowest diamond says, “Partner, I have at least one honour in this suit, and I am trying to win tricks in this suit.” So East should lead back his diamond five, and the defenders take five tricks in a row for down one.

Jim Yount We are sad to announce that Jim Yount passed away on December 1, 2014. Jim lived in Kaslo for the past seven years. He was raised in Arrowhead for the first eight years of his life and then he and his family moved to Vernon. He started a career in Radio when he was only 12 years old, putting away records at the then CJIB Radio Station and at 13 was on the air. One of many online tributes referred to him as a “booming voice from a body that was five foot nothing.” He had a long career in journalism, and worked at stations in Kelowna, Calgary, Salmon Arm, Revelstoke, and Vancouver as an announcer and newsman. He was also a member of Vernon City Council in the 70’s. He moved overseas and worked for the English service of Radio Netherlands. Jim became an instructor and later program head of broadcast journalism at BCIT in the mid 1980’s. Jim is survived by his sister Penny, his daughter Mary, her husband Alex and their daughter Winnie. Friends and family are meeting from 3-6 pm at the Kaslo Legion on Saturday, June 20th to reminisce and celebrate his life.
