laying softball, having fun, not dealing with blood-sucking insects. These are among the reasons Wes Whitely of Fort St. James, 100 minutes west of Prince George, and his Cowboys and Indians teammates return to the 31st annual Funtastic Slo-Pitch Tournament and Music Festival in Vernon year after year. The 2015 tournament, which begins today, will be Whitely’s 20th. “We keep coming back to Funtastic to see old friends,” said Whitely, 53, a security/watchman for a Fort St. James mill. Cowboys and Indians is made up of aboriginal and non-aboriginal players from the Fort, Prince George, Burns Lake, Vernon, Kamloops and even the Nisga’a village of Gingolx. “We first came down to be part of the biggest slopitch tournament in B.C.,” said Whitely, who is joined on the squad by his wife, Anna. “A few of our players had never ventured past Prince George before.” At one point, Whitely’s team went through a Funtastic slump. Like not winning a game for about, oh, seven years straight. Some of that was having the fun-loving squad playing against more competitive teams.
“We did have some lean years,” laughed Whitely. “But we come back to enjoy the weather, listen to the bands, have a few socials in the beer garden and not be bothered by mosquitoes.” The weather, the bands and, of course, the softball will all be featured prominently this weekend. Though the actual festival begins today, set-up at the Vernon Army Camp has been going on throughout the week. “Things are going great,” said Funtastic executive director Wee Yee Wednesday morning. “The tents are up, the trailers are in place and we’re putting up the stage tomorrow.” Team registrations in Vernon begin today at noon and the Okanagan Spring beverage gardens open at 2 p.m. Tickets for the music festival, said Yee, have been brisk and steady. Taking the main stage at the army camp tonight are local bands The Goods (7 p.m.) and Hog Wild (8:45 p.m.), prior to the main act, Bif Naked, at 10:30 p.m. Tribute bands hit the stage Saturday starting with Legzz (ZZ Top) at 7 p.m., Night Train (Guns and Roses) at 8:45 p.m. and BC/ DC (AC/DC) at 10:30 p.m. Wrapping up the music Sunday are local bands The Dirt (6:30 p.m.), Shawn Lightfoot Band (7:30 p.m.), The Young-Uns at 8:45 p.m.

and Sunday’s main event, Moist, at 10:30 p.m. The weather is scheduled to be in the mid-tohigh 30s throughout the weekend, and Funtastic organizers are prepared. “We have installed a misting station near the beverage gardens so people can be sprayed with water and stay cool, and sponsor

Money Mart will be handing out ice cold bottles of water Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.,” said Yee. “The weather, of course, brings concerns about people getting heat stroke.” Funtastic is also held in Armstrong and Enderby. Play in both communities, like Vernon, begins
this evening and wraps up Monday. Armstrong is celebrating its 26th year as part of Funtastic, and it’s the 17th year for Enderby’s involvement. There are 32 teams competing in each city. In each city, there will be an increased police presence to make sure everybody has a fun and safe weekend. “We will have a team of officers assigned to Funtastic as this is an event where a great number of people come in,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “Our focus is on making sure everyone is safe and has a good time so we’ll have extra officers and auxiliary constables to help out.”

The tax man almost forgot about some North Okanagan residents. A system error within the provincial government means that many residents in Falkland and rural Enderby did not get their 2015 property tax notices when they were first mailed out in late May. “People have been wondering what happened to them,” said Rene Talbot, Falkland director for the C o l u m b i a - S hu s w ap Regional District. “I have had a lot of calls and our office has had a lot of calls.” Herman Halvorson, rural Enderby director, for the Regional District of North Okanagan, has also experienced a similar scenario. “Lots of people have been calling about it. I haven’t received mine yet either,” he said. The provincial government is responsible for issuing tax notices and collection of taxes in electoral areas. The deadline to pay taxes is Thursday, but new tax notices with an extended payment deadline of 38 days from the date of issue are now being sent out to impacted taxpayers. Affected taxpayers will not be subject to a late payment penalty if they pay their property taxes by the extended deadline. Tax notices were also not mailed to areas C, E and F in the CSRD.

Seven questions for valedictorians ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Armstrong’s Pleasant Valley Secondary School’s Class of 2015 valedictorians are Jenna Churchill and Mackenzie Moody. Churchill is a member of the renowned PVSS Adrenaline Dance team, and Moody is a track star who once recreated the Napolean Dynamite dance, move for move, at an air band competition. The Morning Star caught up with the pair Wednesday before their graduation ceremonies, and before their valedictorian address, to play Seven Questions: 1: What was your favourite class at PVSS? JC: Definitely dance. I was pretty involved in the program and it was always fun to get into a regular character and be different. MM: I want to say French class because madame (Sandra Arthurson) was probably one of the more influential people I knew. 2:Who was your favourite teacher? JC: Oh gosh. I’m going to say Mr. Lemaire. MM: That’s a hard one. There’s a lot. Madame Arthurson, obviously Ms. Pick. JC: That’s the hardest question you could have asked. All our teachers are great, amazing. MM: It is a hard question! 3: What was your first day at PVSS like? JC: It was exciting, nerve-wracking but everything I wanted it to be. MM: It was exciting. I got bingodabbed and the teacher wanted to know who did it but I didn’t want to rat the person out and get in trouble. It was a really fun day.
ROGER KNOX/MORNING STAR
4: What’s your last week at PVSS been like? JC: It’s been emotional, really bittersweet but just fun to really think of all the memories of the last four years. MM: Stressful. With work, classes and school but rewarding at the same time. Hard work, but worth it. 5: What are your future plans? JC: Just going to keep working at Country Bakery in Askew’s and do some travelling. MM: My goal is to get a Bachelor of Science. I’m going to do the first year in Vernon then transfer to the University of Victoria because I’ve been accepted into UVIC. 6: Will you have made your first million by the 10-year PVSS reunion in 2025? JC: Absolutely, no question about it (laughing). MM: By the first five years (laughing)! 7: What is one word to best describe the PVSS Class of 2015? JC: Outgoing. MM: Tenacious.
Ready to make their mark on the world are Pleasant Valley Secondary School graduates Anna Sterritt (above, front, from left), Jessica Daly, Cody Kruger, Easton Jones, Isabella Hartman (middle), Caitlyn Marshall, Caleb Boyd, Calvin Heighton, Josh Robbins, Garner Chudyk (back), Dalton O’Donaghey and Josh Charrois. Class of 2015 valedictorians Mackenzie Moody (left photo) and Jenna Churchill share a moment.

Climate influences risk factors RICHARD ROLKE

The potential risk to North Okanagan residents is escalating and climate change may be a factor. Vernon council has been provided an update on the regional emergency program, and one of the key concerns is a shifting environment. “Things are getting harsher,” said Brent Watson, North Okanagan Emergency Management manager. Among the challenges are extreme drying trends which fuel wildfires or sudden downpours or early snow melts that can lead to flooding. “Interface fires are our biggest threat and in the region, flooding is also a huge issue,” said Watson. Presently, firefighters in the
— Brent Watson
North Okanagan are on alert as there’s been limited rain over the last few months. “We’re going into a dry period with a fire risk,” said Watson. NOEM is provided under contract by the City of Vernon to all municipalities and electoral areas in the North Okanagan. “It’s very responsive to the different needs of the different communities,” said Watson.
Among NOEM’s activities are emergency preparedness, site support during an incident, volunteer management and co-operating with other agencies. “We’re constantly talking to Environment Canada as to when things may happen,” said Watson of weather-related emergencies. Beyond reacting to major disasters, NOEM staff and volunteers also lend a hand
during house fires to ensure displaced residents have access to resources. In the last six years, NOEM has responded to 2,500 evacuees from the Terrace Mountain wildfire, an H1N1 outbreak, 5,500 people being impacted by contamination of Antwerp Springs in Coldstream, the Skyline Manor apartment fire in Vernon and the 2014 Cooke Creek washout which cut off Kingfisher. “Our program is one of the busiest in the province,” said Watson. The program’s operating budget is $289,000 and each participating community contributes based on its population. “Vernon pays less than half of the total program costs,” said Watson.
Flares a potential cause of Kal park fire RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Flares may have ignited a blaze in tinder-dry Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. Coldstream firefighters were alerted to a grass fire near Rattlesnake Point at 6:55 p.m. Tuesday. “Six citizens actioned it and had it out by the time we got there,” said
“If you see someone, call the RCMP.”
— Dave Sturgeon fire chief Dave Sturgeon of the fire, which was about one-metre by one-metre in size. Witnesses say the fire
began when a group of individuals were shooting off a flare gun. The group left the area and no suspects were identi-
fied. Beyond alerting the fire department, residents are being urged to take another step if they observe activity that could spark a wildfire. “If you see someone, call the RCMP right away,” said Sturgeon. Rattlesnake Point is some distance from the main parking lot at Kal Lake Provincial Park
LATE PROPERTY TAX NOTICES
AFFECTING ELECTORAL AREA F - [RURAL ENDERBY] RESIDENTS
The Regional District of North Okanagan was recently notified by the Property Taxation Branch of the Ministry of Finance advising of an issue regarding rural property tax notices. Due to a system error, 12,556 property tax notices were not sent out by May 31st, as is normally the case in order for taxes to become payable by the July 2nd deadline [405,000 property tax notices were correctly sent out]. Ministry staff are aware of the error and new tax notices are being prepared and mailed out with an extended deadline of 38 days from the date of issue. The same extension applies for applications to receive the Home Owner Grant. Taxpayers who contact the property Taxation Branch via phone [1-800-663-7867] or email [ruraltax@gov.bc.ca] will be notified of the error and extended deadline with an automated message. The affected properties are located in: • Regional District of North Okanagan – Electoral Area F [rural Enderby] • Columbia-Shuswap Regional District – Electoral Areas C,D, E & F • Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine – Electoral Area A • University Endowment Lands The Property Taxation Branch deeply regrets any confusion or inconvenience that this error has caused.
and access proved challenging for firefighters. “It’s about a two-kilometre hike in. Crews had to pack water in on their back and hand tools,” said Sturgeon. The park is outside of Coldstream boundaries and fire suppression is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Forests, but district firefighters respond during the summer to ensure a park blaze doesn’t spread. “We want to make sure it doesn’t threaten Coldstream,” said Sturgeon, who is urging residents to be cautious with ignition sources such as cigarettes. “Even a spark from a motorbike can cause a problem.” Environment Canada is calling for a daytime high of 35 today, followed by both 39 Saturday and Sunday. The forecast is for 32 Monday and 35 Tuesday. The normal daytime high at this time of the year is 25.

Armstrong expenses revealed ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
City staff and council did their best to keep expenses in line in Armstrong. The city released its 2014 annual report which shows more than $1 million was paid to council and employees. “We always do that, keep our expenses in check,” said Mayor Chris Pieper. Pieper topped Chris Pieper the council list with $25,224 in remuneration, which included $2,922 in expenses. Councillors Shirley Fowler, Paul Britton and Ron (Sully) O’Sullivan worked all 12 months and each earned $12,870 in salary. Fowler claimed nearly $3,800 in expenses while Britton and O’Sullivan each claimed no expenses. Kelly Rowe and John Trainor did not seek re-election, and each earned $11,177
in remuneration with Trainor claiming nearly $2,700 in expenses, and Rowe claiming slightly more than $2,100. Ryan Nitchie left council in the summer to pursue an employment opportunity. He made $6,480 before leaving and claimed just more than $1,300 in expenses. Councillors Steve Drapala, Linda Werner and Lance McGregor, each elected in November, earned $1,043 in salary and had no expenses. The total remuneration and expenditure for council in 2014 was $106,709, down from $112,540 in 2013. The report must list employees who make more than $75,000 and, in Armstrong, there are five, led by chief administrative officer Melinda Stickney, who made $110,812 and claimed $8,321 in expenses. She officially took over from Patti Ferguson in March 2014. “The city team is dedicated and hardworking,” said Stickney. “Our role is to support the vision and direction mayor and council have for the community through implementation
of the numerous policies, programs and service levels. “We are working diligently to maintain a proactive organization, reviewing, revising and modernizing our procedures and systems that support our everyday work is a critical piece for our success.” Chief financial officer Terry Martens made $98,450 in salary and expenses; public works officer Tim Perepolkin ($87,264), public works leadhand Rick Bronson ($76,433) and water/wastewater operator Kerry Fox ($75,407) all made more than $75,000 with the last three each claiming less than $1,000 in expenses. All other employees combined in the city made $476,964. Total staff payout in 2014 was $933,651, up from $869,216 in 2013. The annual report outlines expenses, staff remuneration and the city’s objectives for the next couple of years. It also contains audited financial statements for the year. The report is available to be viewed online at www.cityofarmstrong.bc.ca.
Complaints take flight over attendance RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A Vernon politician is not pleased with her colleagues’ attendance. Coun. Catherine Lord used Monday’s regular meeting to chastise other members of council for not taking part in an airport master plan session. “Only three of us attended and staff went to a lot of work putting together the presentation,” she said. “For those of you not there, I’m giving you a little smack.” Lord says participants were able to visit some of the businesses at the airport and consider the long-term future of the facil-

Council has approved a 2.26 per cent increase to most parks and recreation fees for Sept. 1, 2015 to Aug. 31, 2016. “It’s consistent with the five-year average. it allows us a little extra
revenue to run operations,” said Doug Ross, the city’s recreation manager. Among the reasons for the fee increase are increased costs, and specifically labour, utilities and materials. Minor sports rates will be increased to bring them into line with the city’s policy of charging 50 per cent of the adult category. Presently, the sub-

sidy is well above 50 per cent and for 2015/16, the facility rental rate will be adjusted to a 51 per cent subsidy. It would reach the 50 per cent subsidy policy in 2016/17. “This incremental process allows minor sports groups to gradually adjust to the fee increase,” said Ross. No action on gymnastics club The North Valley Gymnastics Club has been left in limbo. Instead of responding to a request to provide land to the club for a new facility, Vernon council has
forwarded the matter to the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee for consideration. “It really belongs at GVAC to start and if they do nothing, it may have to come back to the city,” said Coun. Bob Spiers. Council will also advise the gymnastics club of the recreation facilities master plan that is being updated and development of a new facilities process among Greater Vernon jurisdictions. “We are going through the process first,” said Coun. Brian Quiring.

A big moose-take
t has been said– on the Internet, mind you – that those of us in our 50s are glad there was no Internet, YouTube or social media in our younger days. Grateful because a lot of the dumb, embarrassing, stupid things we did way back when were never caught on film or video. I can cite several examples in my own life, some of my own doing, some the result of my evil family. There was the time I was in the back seat of my oldest brother’s car, heading to his home in Trail. We were outside Grand Forks when my brother pulled half of his car over the white line on the shoulder of Roger Knox the road – I was sitting in the back seat on the passenger side – and gleefully announced that I was now in the United States, which would have been my firstever trip south of the border. I was quite excited until Jackass, er, Jim, revealed he was pulling my leg. At around the same age – and this is the first time I’ve ever confessed or publicly admitted this – I played Shirley Temple in a school play and had to sing Good Ship Lollipop. Complete with curly hair wig and lollipop. I have written in this space before about winning the 1984 Mr. Quesnel pageant. There ARE photos of me in the old-fashioned bathing suit, and a newspaper write-up, but no video of me strutting my stuff in the skintight suit, drinking beer out of a gold pan or, dressed as Michael Jackson, lip-synching Billie Jean, complete with moonwalk – or a reasonable facsimile thereof – on the Billy Barker Days stage. Thannnnnnkkkk goodness. I bring this up because, like thousands of other people, I was appalled by a video making the rounds on social media. It is a video of a topless man on a boat with some friends on what is believed to be a northern British Columbia lake. They are approaching an obviously scared moose in the water, the moose try-

ing to run from the boat. Topless guy gets up to the side of the boat and jumps onto the back of the helpless moose, who then tries to hightail it out of the lake with the guy hanging on tight. The guy is on the moose for a good 10 seconds on the video, encouraged by his buddies. One guy can be heard saying “this is the most awesome thing I’ve ever seen.” Me? I was cheering for the moose to dump the guy. Of course, somebody on the boat is filming all of this. The video sparked outrage, as well as people supporting the maneuvre. The moose matter is now under investigation. As I write this, the moose rider has not been identified. It’s not even clear if this even happened this year. It appears to have been shot at a lake near Fort Nelson. What I’d like to know is why was this posted and by who? If it was somebody on the boat, surely – SURELY – they had to have been aware of the potential outcry (we Canadians love our moose). Moose rider is now facing a substantial fine. Did the guy film it, then post it to bust his friend? Was he the only one on the boat with a conscience? Really, you can’t do anything nowadays without somebody whipping out their phone, filming it and splashing it all over social media. To me, it’s an extreme form of bullying, the public outing of somebody doing something bad or incredibly embarrassing without knowing all of the details. However many guys are on that boat, the moose incident – and they obviously should have left the moose alone – should have been just between them, now and forever. Instead, the whole world now knows about it. For all we know, under normal circumstances, the guys on the boat could be the nicest guys in the world who made one really stupid decision. Financially, they haven’t yet paid the price for their actions but they are paying for it socially.
Air quality and global warming are motherhood issues and obviously anything that helps minimize those situations is welcome. However, at the same time that carbon emissions are being targeted, reality also has to be considered. And that’s specifically the case with Coldstream council instructing staff to prepare a bylaw that would prevent motorists from idling their vehicles for a specified period of time. On the surface, it sounds good but how practical is it? Is Coldstream willing to hire a number of bylaw enforcement officers to drive around and ensure everyone is following the rules, and how much pollution would be generated if district staff are driving around looking for offenders? Generally the municipality reacts to bylaw offences on a complaint basis but by the time a complaint was called into the district office and staff hit the road, the alleged offender would be long gone. The other issue to consider is that unlike more urbanized communities, including even Vernon, there are going to be few places in Coldstream where idling potentially occurs. In fact, most of it will likely be outside of the four schools as parents wait for their children, and in the summer, idling will be a result of air conditioning, while keeping warm will be the scenario during the winter. Similar to shooting fish in a barrel, it wouldn’t be fair for bylaw officers to keep frequenting the same locations. As mentioned earlier, anti-idling rules sound good on paper and may indicate that some action is being taken against climate change and pollution, but actually implementing such a program doesn’t make sense.

Premier urged to take action
remier Clark, I’m a B.C.-based filmmaker, born and raised here. Last summer, I made a short film about the imminent threat that zebra and quagga mussels pose to our province. At the time, I assumed that the government of B.C. must simply be unaware of this threat. I hoped that my film would help change this. You can watch the five-minute film at www. protectourfreshwater.ca. I know now that your government is aware. However, for some reason, you have dedicated a mere $1.3 million, spread out over three years, to combat a problem that has cost more than $6 billion in North America so far. Your current action plan is entitled, Early detection and rapid response. This is based on a glaring falsehood. In 25 years, in hundreds of lakes and rivers across North America, it has been proven again and again that eradication does not exist. Zebra and quagga mussels, once in a lake or river, cannot be stopped. Knowing this, what exactly are you planning to rapidly
COSENS BAY ROAD I’m both fascinated and horrified at the continuing saga of the road through Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. Thousands of local residents have made it clear that they do not support expropriating a 20-metrewide strip through the park to appease the demands of 50 or 60 seasonal cottage owners for a better road. The road must already be the best kept gravel road in B.C. I recently learned that the proposed expropriation would also include a utility corridor so these seasonal cottage owners would then have the ability to bring in hydro and turn what is supposed to be seasonal cottage community into a full-fledged sub division. Of course we the residents and taxpayers of B.C. would have to both pay for these improvements while trying to deal with the ensuing safety issues of cars travelling at 60 to 70 kilometres through a popular recreation facility. On any weekend, you can see
respond with? Prevention is the only option. Period. Since all it takes is one boat, The only way to protect our province is to stop and inspect every single boat that crosses our borders. You have said that you will continue to review the current program of 3 roving inspection teams and see if more action is needed. Time is not a luxury we have. Anytime this summer or next, a boat could easily slip past your very weak border defense and launch in our waters. Then, your only option will be to sit back and watch as the mussels inevitably spread to every lake and river in B.C. The damage will be catastrophic, the effects permanent. You have the power and the resources to prevent this. The people of B.C. are calling for action. This is an emergency and should be treated as such. Why do you delay? Why are you not doing the absolute maximum to protect our province? Is B.C. not worth it to you? Brynne Morrice
hundreds of park visitors walking, biking and riding horses through the park including many families with young children. Why is their safety less important than the convenience of a few cottage owners? If safety is an issue, which is not borne out by any accident statistics, I suggest the Ministry of Transportation do what most jurisdictions do and place a mandatory speed limit of maybe 30 kilometres an hour on the road to keep all park visitors safe and forget about road “improvements." I guess our voices as residents are not as well heard as these cottage owners. Eric Foster and Christy Clark were quick enough to nix the proposed changes to Highway 97 at Stickle Road but have been curiously silent on the proposal to remove a chunk of land from a unique and family-friendly provincial park. Perhaps they should think about the thousands of voters in this area who have made their
views clear.

RECYCLING I've read letters to the editor from people and spoken with others who really don't like this new blue box recycling for numerous reasons and some very good reasons, such as someone elderly who finds it very difficult to lug those full boxes out to the curb, or has no room in a small home. In response to Penny Perry's letter asking for any answers, here is a suggestion that might work. If you drive, maybe a trip to the landfill every few weeks? I live way out in rural Lumby area and there is no blue box recycling, so we still get to do it the old way, thank goodness — a blue recycling bag that gets filled with everything recyclable except foam trays and glass. Shredded paper goes into any plastic bag just to make it easy for the sorters. Foam trays have to be separated into whites and colours and
dropped off at the bottle depot in Lumby. Glass I accumulate in a basket and when I have three or four blue bags full, the glass goes along with the bags to the Lumby landfill. Easy. Penny Jones COMMON SENSE The average homeowner knows that in time, the roof, appliances, furniture and vehicles are all going to eventually be replaced. It is no use waiting for that time to arrive to find the money, so we budget for the future. Obviously Eric Foster and the health board don’t use this system. I believe the laid-off laundry employees will have to shop close to home to save gas, even if the government does not.

of the sign include distraction for vehicle drivers and glare onto neighbouring properties, as well as with the inconsistency in the OCP’s form and character guideline which seek to respect the city’s heritage and encourage a heritage theme in the downtown commercial area.” There is an animated sign downtown at the entrance to the Hassen Arena parking lot. Council, however, is in favour of allowing the variances. “It’s not a small sign, but where it’s going to go it’s going to make it a little more attractive,” said Coun. Paul Britton. “I don’t have a problem raising the sign four feet and I don’t have a problem with the animated sign.” Coun. Shirley Fowler pointed out that nobody attended the public hearing on the variance request. “To me, that means nobody is concerned about it,” she said. Mayor Chris Pieper was asked by Coun. Lance McGregor if saying yes will allow more such signs. “Yes, but everything is different,” said Pieper. “If a neighbour wants the same thing, they have to apply for a variance, go through the same procedure, a public hearing. “If we really wanted to change the zoning bylaw, we’re in the midst of looking at it and if we think it should be changed we should change it.” Council voted unanimously to grant both variances though Councillors Steve Drapala and Ron O’Sullivan were absent.

A proposed downtown sign at a long-standing Armstrong business may be a sign the City of Armstrong needs to review its signage bylaw. Shepherd’s Home Hardware wants to put a 24-foot-high, freestanding animated, or electronic, sign on its Pleasant Valley Boulevard property. The business has applied to the city for a development variance permit that would allow the maximum height of a freestanding sign in a commercial zone to go from almost 20 feet to 24 feet, and would also allow an animated sign on the subject Shirley Fowler property. In a report to council, city staff recommended against both variances. “The variance to the height is not in keeping with the official community plan form and character guidelines for the commercial area, and it will set an undesirable precedent for other freestanding signs in the downtown and other commercial areas,” wrote staff in an eight-page report to council. As for the animated sign, staff pointed out such signs are specifically prohibited in the city’s zoning bylaw. “Concerns associated with the animated portion

neighbourhood have been issued an alert about their water. Greater Vernon Water has issued a water quality advisory for customers supplied by the Delcliffe Water Utility. “Customers supplied by the Delcliffe utility are supplied from Okanagan Lake,” said Renee Clark, water quality manager. “Due to this increase in turbidity, the water quality is now rated as fair. This water quality advisory will be in affect until further notice. The area impacted includes Delcliffe Road and Cameron Road. Children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems should be careful when ingesting the water while the advisory is in place. For these customers, water should be boiled for one minute for drinking, washing fruits and vegetables, making beverages or ice and brushing teeth. Greater Vernon Water says customers will be informed when water quality returns to normal via road signs and a hand-delivered notice.

Truck dumps load, ends up on side Morning Star Staff
Traffic was snarled on Highway 6 Thursday morning after a semi trailer truck hauling disposalsized bins overturned on its side. The incident happened at around 10:30 a.m. 1.5-kilometres west of Lumby. “The driver was eastbound when it he entered a 90-degree bend on the road, and he may have been going too fast,” said Lumby RCMP Cpl. Trevor Tribes. “The weight (of the load) shifted, resulting in a mechanical failure, and the truck ended up on its side.” The load, featuring mostly waste wood products such as broken pallets, ended up in the ditch. A diesel spill resulted in local highway contractor JPW being called to put sand down on the highway, resulting in the highway being closed in both directions for about 10 minutes. The driver of the rig was uninjured but was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital for observation. RCMP

chological well-being and can reduce depression and anxiety,” said Sharon Durant, human resources and operations manager with the Canadian Mental Health Association. The amount of riders nearly doubled from 84 riders last year to 150 participants this year. The funds raised support programs operated by CMHA in Vernon. “We live in an amazing community and appreciate everyone’s generosity from the many volunteers, riders and donors,” said Durant. The Ride Don’t Hide event took place across the country and raised $108,507. Along with the money raised, the ride wanted to educate people about mental illness, as there is often a misunderstanding surrounding it. “These feelings of shame or embarrassment stop others from reaching out for help. However, early intervention and treatment are key,” said Durant.

Samples will be $2 per drink. On top of this, the Enderby Lions Club will host a hog roast and the Enderby Preschool will provide beef on the bun, corn on the cob and salads.

Celtics golden in Vernon Cup Morning Star Staff
The Robin Bristow Chartered Accountants Celtics struck gold in the youth soccer Vernon Cup, shading Team White 2-1 in Sunday’s U13 girls final at Marshall Field. With the sidelines filled to capacity with fans cheering and horns blowing, Grace An opened the scoring with a powerful corner off the fingertips of the keeper. Lottie Scott put the Celtics up by a deuce with a left boot to the left bottom corner. Savannah Jodoin, with hair up high, displayed her hardest showing of the season and never gave up her check. Jenna Chirkoff fought a fierce game as striker, not getting her goal but happy with her endless determination to score. Keely Tessen cheered on the Celtics with crutches by her side from a previous injury. Adelaide Andow and Lisa Deboer were sorely missed. The Celtics shut down the Reds 3-0 Saturday with An, Jennika Helmle and Scott getting goals in support of keeper Kathlyn Holm. The Celtic defence was on guard with Renee Fairgrieve, Rachel Richter and Taija Kronbauer forming a bold wall. Lauren Rollier and
Joelle Smid were unstoppable with determination and stamina to keep the ball in the Reds’ territory. An pulled the hat trick as the Celtics opened the Cup by ambushing the Icebreakers 5-1 Friday. Helmle and Scott added singles. Ashley Wadsworth replied for the Blues on a s breakaway after some fancy foot work through the middle. Emily Broderick of the Blues was fantastic all match, using her speed to run down players defensively then hustle upfield as forward. Coaches Wendy Stevens and Dar Weise were ecstatic with the Celtics’ moxy all season, “We are so proud how the girls were able to play together as a unit, giving it their all,” said Weise. “A thank you to the parents for supporting the team and allowing us to coach.” The Icebreakers earlier lost 5-0 to the Whites with Quita King playing keeper in the first half and allowing just two tough shots to get past her. Alexandra Miller (Player of the Match) was solid on defence all match and weekend. The Icebreakers turned in their best showing of the season in a 1-0 loss to the Reds Sunday.

The Vernon Vipers get first dibs at the expansion Wenatchee Wild in the annual Bauer B.C. Hockey League showcase in Chilliwack. The teams will meet Saturday, Sept. 28 (3:30) at Prospera Centre to open their regular seasons. Vernon faces the Cowichan Valley Capitals on the Sunday morning (10:00). Wenatchee was accepted as the BCHL’s 17th franchise a month ago after seven years in the North American League. The Vipers visit the Wild’s gorgeous 4,300-seat Town Toyota Center in November. Wenatchee will be in Vernon for the Vipers’ final regular-season game in late February. The official schedule will be released next week. This year’s showcase begins on a Thursday rather than a Friday as in years past. This will allow 16 of the 17 games scheduled to be played on the main ice sheet at Prospera Centre. “I know this will be appreciated by fans and scouts alike,” said BCHL commissioner John Grisdale. “The scouting community has responded overwhelmingly to each of the first three showcase events and we expect the same this season, with as many as 200 talent evaluators taking in the games representing the NHL and collegiate levels.” Over the last three seasons since the advent of the showcase, the league has averaged 137 players per season with some form of college commitment. “That translates into about $2 million to BCHL families annually in financial benefit toward a college degree.” Meanwhile, the NHL Entry Draft starts today in Florida with Viper grads Liam Finlay and Thomas Aldworth on the final list of prospects. Aldworth is rated No. 195 and Finlay 199 in the final Central Scouting Bureau rankings (North America skaters). The first round goes today at 4:30 p.m. Pacific time. (live on TSN).

Dutch master displays mojo
Tolko U11s gain Rep soccer split Morning Star Staff
TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
The Dutch have invaded Vernon soccer fields, and they come bearing new philosophies. The TOPSPORT Euro Soccer Academy is up and running and just completed their first training camp of the summer. Head coaches Erick Burnet and Remco Wijnhorst brought in their ace - Hans Schrijver - for the camp. Schrijver was head coach for the Dutch National U20 team from 2006-2010 and has coached an extensive list of Premier League teams in the Netherlands and outside his native country. His main passion in soccer is youth development. “The camp was good and the children were very good,” said Schrijver. “It doesn’t matter where you are in the world - Canada, South Africa, Netherlands - children all want to play the game so we make sure we play games and have fun.” Their camp ran earlier in the month at Grahame Park. The group was divided into three divisions based on development, skills and age. Burnet has been coaching rep in Vernon for nearly 10 years and has noticed a style of play that he would like his players to move away from. “So many teams and players just dump and chase - very vertical games,” said Burnet. “It doesn’t always have to be a physical game like that. We want to teach smarter solutions and smarter soccer.” Burnet and his team plan on doing so by installing their Dutchversion of soccer. “We don’t want them just doing drills, we play a lot of games. In those games you work on techniques, learning and having fun at the same time,” said Schrijver. Wijnhorst said he was thrilled with the results following the camp. “I was very proud of the kids this weekend. There were lots of smiles and there was good improvements from Friday to today (Saturday),” said Wijnhorst. The next TOPSPORT camps will run every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday for two hours from July 14-24. Another camp will follow Aug. 25-Sept. 4. Schrijver has massive dreams for the program. Prospective athletes are going to make sure their passports are up to date. “We want to expand the program and get players to college

Wijnhorst and Burnet are in Vernon permanently and Schrijver makes the cross-Atlantic flight for camps. Schrijver was holding out hope for the Dutch women’s team during the World Cup, but wasn’t going to be surprised if Canada advanced following their match Monday night (Canada defeated Switzerland 1-0). “I scouted the Dutch team at the Olympics and I got the chance to watch and talk to people about the Canadian team,” said Schrijver. “It wouldn’t surprise me if Canada won (the World Cup).”
The Tolko United U11B boys provided a season of excitement and outstanding play in each of their games and the final doubleheader in Kelowna Sunday was no different. In Game 1, the boys played a steady, patient and solid game and worked hard to keep the marauding Kelowna players at bay in a 5-3 loss. Keeper Jonah (Danger) Kiernan was supported by the stingy back line of Marcus Erho, Parker Munroe and Roan Reid. Danny McLennan put Vernon on the sheet first with a midfield assist from Jonah Violini. Not finished yet, Violini scored with a power kick from centre that sailed untouched over the keeper’s head. Devin Bilodeau scored the final United goal on another long kick to the net. United rebounded in the afternoon to earn a 2-2 draw with the Shuswap Selects. Alex Kazimer, Declan Hardy and Fraser Christensen were a hard working front line and kept the pressure in the opposing end for much of the game. In a strategic coaching move, Daxton Podollan went in as keeper for the first half. Justin Ruscheinsky drilled a shot on net and Hayden Murphy was there to bury the rebound. Murphy then took the gloves from Podollan for the second half. After Shuswap made a run for the win, Podollan responded with a late equalizer.

Boyes bags tournament honours with Printech Continued from A21
Gibson did double duty in net stopping a Printech Navy team comeback with a great diving save and a penalty kick denial. Lucas Schuch and Emerson Corduff enjoyed stellar weekends with a helper each and great two-way play. The Gold Player Of The Tournament went to Chris Boyes, AKA Man of Mayhem. The Icebreakers earlier lost 5-0 to the Whites with Quita King playing keeper in the first half and allowing just two tough shots to get past her. Alexandra Miller (Player of the Match) was solid on defence all match and weekend. The Icebreakers showed some aggressive movement and turned in their best showing of the season in a 1-0 loss to the Reds Sunday. The Reds scored on a lucky shot in the last two minutes of play that dribbled past keeper Becky Herrick, who otherwise was fabulous. Jessica Grages was magnificent as sweeper, Kaylee Goodrich was a speed machine up the middle and Kate Lowe had a fantastic game on defence. Jennica Bobryk had a sensational weekend covering as keeper and then creating all kinds of scoring chances up front. The Subway Blues and Subway Whites took the U14/15 girls and boys crowns respectively, while the NOU Jr. CLIFFORD Kickers won the U18 girls and H&L AUTOMOTIVE Glass captured the U18 boys.

seven straight shots at the Bull goal, while Mason Wood and Owen Sunderland also tested the busy keeper. At 25 minutes, Sunderland maneuvered his way deep into Bull territory and his corker from the corner glanced off a defender into the net. Brandon Phillips came out of net for the second half, and was an immediate scoring threat for the Monsters. Just 12 minutes in, Cade Dempsey cleared the ball to Quinn Soon, who charged down a channel on the right. Soon’s cross found the foot of Phillips, who chipped it under the bar for the 2-0 goal. Three minutes later, Connor Strilchuk connected with Soon, whose through ball sprung the speedy Dempsey, and he stuffed the net with a rising rocket. Keeper Tavis Whibley finished off the shutout with a pair of dexterous denials. The Cookie Monsters celebrated the victory with their favourite round treat, baked by Phillips. The Orange Tigers purred past the Blue Skittles 5-3 in U9 Girls soccer at Creekside Park. In the seventh minute, the Tigers pounced on a goal kick and bounced one into the net. The jungle cats pressed for more, but Skittle defender Erica Lovelace sent them away with resolute boots. Sophie Challen and Aida Dempsey tangled with Tigers all over the pitch. Skittle keeper Sierra Allen stood her ground, making four superb stops before Jasmine Soon tied the match. After a rollicking run, Soon nimbly slipped the ball past the onrushing goalie. Skittles Lauren Cunningham, Fianna Gough, and Madison Vranesic treated their teammates with their peachy passes. The Tigers took a 2-1 lead into the half, and added two early in the second. Soon then countered with pace. Triple-teamed in the box, she tapped the ball through the woodwork once again. At the other end, Ava Wood came up with a timely stop on a Tiger attack. With Kiana Bussiere, Arwyn Thomas, and Emmah Pedersen dispensing balls from the back line, the Skittles poured with purpose into the orange half. Twice, Cunningham came close. Then a blast by Soon ricocheted to Allen, who flicked the ball high into the Tiger net. The formidable felines clawed back with a late goal.

The Squires Four Pub pulled within two points of first place with a 3-0 ambush of TED United in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters action Tuesday night at Marshall Field #2. Jennie Currie started things off with a lob shot over TED’s keeper on a through pass from Irene Arrotta. Barb Levesque blasted the ball top corner after a pass from Tori Feser. Jacquie Hansen supplied the insurance marker with another sweet pass from Levesque. The defensive line of Sarag Green, Marisa Weibe and Melissa Wejr shut down the league’s top offence with Lisa Arrotta recording the shutout. TED picked up their first blemish of the season, now at 9-1 and Squires improved to 8-1-1. The Vernon Square Liquor Store VQA doused the Shuswap Kaos 3-2 at MacDonald Park. VQA (5-3-2) played without subs and still found a way to scratch out the W. A VQA corner found Sur Barss in open space, as she tapped in an easy goal. Susan McKinnon made it 2-0 when she whizzed one past the Merlot keeper. Jen Hatten unloaded a beautiful high-arching shot that floated over the keeper. Carla Gibson recorded the win. The Kaos fall to 5-4-1. The Goplen Controllers squeaked out a 1-0 victory over the Gray Monk/Longhorn Impact at MacDonald Park. The Impact hammered the Controllers (4-5-1) in the opening 10 minutes. If it wasn’t for Michelle Embleton in net, the game would have been drastically different. Mandy Fredrick did her best job to relieve the pressure by gunning down fast wingers and booting the ball up field. The Controllers calmed themselves, got organized and went on attack. Michelle Mercer, Melissa Henson and Jacquie Nuyens each had excellent scoring opportunities but couldn’t find the mesh. Leah Mulvihill stepped up and scored late in the first half on a breakaway after a sweet feed from
Shelley Henry. The Impact move to 3-4-3. The Peacock Sheridan Group blazed the Little Tex Outlaws 3-1 at Marshall Field #1 Mairi Horth made her debut for the Reds, scoring one goal and adding a helper. Little Tex (4-4) poured it on in the first half, striking a crossbar, but were denied several times by Reds’ keeper Juenn Knourek. Horth’s goal came on a header off the boot of Lana Finley for a 1-0 lead at recess. The Reds (8-0) came out with three forwards and pushed the tempo. Horth found Cheyenne Dedla at the top of the 18. Dedla cranked a one-timer past the Blazer keeper. Little Tex scored on a penalty kick with 25 minutes remaining. Lana Finley was instant offence as she chipped a shot over the Little Tex keeper after moving up from midfield.
Celtics smother Drywallers 3-1
The NET Celtics downed Do-Itt Drywall 3-1 at Marshall Field #4. The Celtics (4-3-1) started slow, but woke up once Drywall (1-6) striker Becky Dodds drilled the crossbar at 15 minutes. Tori Reid responded after taking a cross by Sarah Ehman and sprinting up the centre, making her way to the front of the net and finishing. Casey Benz was a warrior on the back line, corralling a ball and sending Carly Smith down the field. Smith tangoed around two Drywall defenders and found net. Dodds cut the Celtic lead in half on a strong solo effort around four defenders. Ehman took a corner in the 75th-minute and kicked it to Samantha Adam, who downed the ball with her chest, turned, and cranked it into the net. The Ball Blasters iced the AF Blazers 4-0 in Division 1 play at Marshall Field #5. Sarah Nelson and Shantell Hayhurst took several shots and Kelsey Halvorson had a breakaway, but couldn’t bury one for the Blazers (0-7). The Ball Blasters sit at 4-4.

Road dust raises concern in Spall ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The dust hasn’t settled on a dirty issue in Spallumcheen. John Toporchak, a resident of L&A Cross Road, wrote council with a concern about dust control on the road. To p o r c h a k said his road was graded in May and was told that a dust control product would Corey Paiment be put on the road the following week. “We were OK with that,” said Toporchak. “The following week came and went and no dust control. We were forced to live in a cloud of dust from the traffic on the road.” Toporchak said dust control was put on the road but, “it didn’t seem as though it had been done as well as previous years, as there was dust arising from traffic just about right away.” “We were told that it had been done the same as in previous years,” said Toporchak, who stated he and his family have noticed a, “big differ-
ence in the amount of dust in the area coming from the traffic on the road.” “Unless vehicles are moving at a snail’s pace along the road,” there is dust,” said Toporchak. “There is dust in the house. It is everywhere.” Toporchak said there are four residences and six businesses along the road. Spallumcheen chief administrative officer Corey Paiement said council received Toporchak’s letter for discussion, and looked at potential options. Those options include installing temporary or permanent signage to have vehicles slow down on the road; not encourage use of the road when there are other roads nearby, such as Old Kamloops Road and Highway 97A; putting down a second pass of dust suppressant; or significantly expensive options like chip sealing or paving the road. Council has asked public works manager Ed Forslund to look into the options and report back at the next council meeting July 13. In the meantime, the township will erect temporary construction signs that say ‘slow’ at both ends of the road in the hopes of reducing dust.
Canada Day gets grant Morning Star Staff
Lake Country’s Canada Day festivities are getting a boost. The Lake Country Rotary Club has received $1,500 for July 1 celebrations through the federal 2015 Celebrate Canada program. “Every year, our local community organizations work hard to plan activities for the community and I am pleased to know that they are being acknowledged for their efforts,” said Ron Cannan, Kelowna-Lake Country MP. The Celebrate Canada program supports local activities during the period from June 21 to July 1, including National Aboriginal Day on June 21, Saint Jean Baptiste Day on June 24, Canadian Multiculturalism Day on June 27, and Canada Day on July 1. The funds provided are to assist with startup costs of projects
and are not intended as 100 per cent funding. Groups are encouraged to make their activities increasingly selfsupporting from year to year. “Celebrating these special days, including Canada’s 148th birthday, gives us a chance to share our pride in our
country,” said Cannan. “I encourage constituents to come out and show their support for these local organizations which are run largely by volunteers. They do a wonderful job planning events in our community that celebrate our shared Canadian heritage.”

parents to ask questions they may have about the progressive structure, curriculum, and about what to expect. The Arts Experience was designed by Okanagan College faculty as an avant-garde learning approach offering a collective class for the two-year university transferable associate of arts degree. The progressive and innovative education option will see a small group of students flow through core course curriculum together, but the classroom model and way of learning is what will be different. “I can get my two years of credit under my belt, while still trying a variety of classes,” said Raynolds.

The aristocrat who became a cowboy The story of British remittance man Coutts Marjoribanks is told at O’Keefe Ranch’s Cowboy Dinner Show Morning Star Staff
They didn’t expect their loving son to change so dramatically when they sent him to discover himself in the new colony. Discarding the fame of aristocracy for the life of the often romanticized wild west, Coutts Marjoribanks (pronounced Marchbanks) would become a cowboy. His story will be told when O’Keefe Ranch holds its popular Cowboy Dinner Show this summer. Remittance Men - Aristocrats to Cowboys is an historical dramatization written by Kiss FM radio announcer and theatre guy Jason Armstrong. The third youngest son of Dudley Coutts Marjoribanks, first baron of Tweedmouth, left the his upper-class life in the Scottish Highlands for North Dakota in 1884 at the age of 24. There, with some start up capital from his father, he began a livestock operation, breeding and selling cattle. “The western ranching way of life was just what he needed to bring him into his own. He took to cowboying like a duck to water, and relished the rough and ready lifestyle that sneered at the more placid approaches to accomplishing things,” writes local historian, cowboy poet and author Ken Mather in his book Buckaroos and Mud Pups. (Mather is also part of the Cowboy Dinner Show, and will join the troupe again this year for more of his original poetry and stories.) “His skills in riding, roping and handling cattle grew, but his family regarded his lifestyle as far from acceptable.” The solution was to send Coutts to the Okanagan in 1890, where his older sister, Ishbel Maria Marjoribanks, lived with her husband, Lord Aberdeen. Coutts would end up managing the 13,261-acres, now Coldstream Ranch, that Lord and Lady Aberdeen had purchased.

The Cowboy Show Band, Dixon Zalit, Rob Dinwoodie, Kevin Bader and Ken Mather, performs as part of the Cowboy Dinner Show at O’Keefe Ranch. The show features a historical dramatization about Coutts Marjoribanks (seated below with his ranch foreman), who came from an aristocratic family in England to ranch in North Dakota and the Okanagan at what is now Coldstream Ranch.
“Coutts Marjoribanks’s tenure at the Coldstream was not a happy one — at least not for the owners,” said Mather. “He really preferred the daily activities of cowboying to the paperwork of management. His true love was the cowboy lifestyle, which he lived with all the passion and recklessness he could muster.”
Nicknamed “Major,” a play on his last name, Coutts lived up to that rabble-rousing cowboy image, riding his horse into the Kalamalka Hotel bar whenever he wanted a drink, which Mather says was whenever he was in town. “To his credit, this would have involved some good riding, as the steps to the hotel were steep,” said Mather. “General opinion was that his riding excelled his management of the ranch.” In 1895, Marjoribanks left the ranch and later purchased a property in the Coldstream area, where he lived with his wife Margaret Nicholls and his stepdaughter until his death in 1924. Along with the historical dramatization, the show will feature a song about Coutts, titled Remittance Man, as well as another titled Ogopogo, which describes the legend of the monster in Okanagan Lake. “We have had fun writing the show and developing songs and stories that audiences will enjoy this
year. Much of the show focuses on the history of the cowboy and the B.C. west,” said Rob Dinwoodie, host and lead singer of the Cowboy Show Band, with musicians Dixon Zalit and Kevin Bader. The Cowboy Dinner Show is not complete without the meal of sizzling steaks with all the fixings prepared by Cattlemen’s Club Restaurant, as well as rides around the ranch in the BX Express stagecoach. Visitors can also learn to throw a lasso, yodel, and will finish the evening the cowboy way, around a campfire, singing songs under the stars. “This is a family show that has values and promotes the importance of entertainment for the whole family,” said Dinwoodie, adding, “Most folks have never seen, let alone have ridden a stagecoach.” O’Keefe’s Ranch’s Cowboy Dinner Show takes place every Friday night in July and August. Tickets can be reserved online at www.okeeferanch.ca or by calling 250-542-7868.

Lake Country has free family fun Those ready to dance, clap and sing along this summer can visit Vernon’s neighbouring community of Lake Country for free concerts and big screen movies in the region’s parks. The Lake Country Open Air Performance Society kicks off the fun on Canada Day Wednesday at Beasley Park with a free concert by Jordan Dean starting at 6:30 p.m. followed by the Public House Band and a movie in the park (Insurgent).

Among the many talented performers to provide entertainment this summer are The Malarkeys, Vernon’s own Kath & the Tomkats, Ben Klick, Steve Stairs, JS Garcia Band and the Public House Band. All concerts are free and families are welcome.

Inside Out:
ourney into the mind of a little girl turning 12. Riley (voiced by Kaitlyn Dias) is unaware that her feelings, Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Sadness (Phyllis Taylor and Howe Smith), Anger (Lewis Black) and Disgust (Mindy Kaling) have voices of their own. Living inside her personality, these voices have developed over time, built from her own experiences and memories. When Riley’s family moves to a new city, she has to confront her feelings head on and learn that growing up means accepting life’s changes, good or bad, happy or sad. We say, “It’s psychology for kids.”
Reel RevIews
Disney/Pixar
Little Riley misses her hometown and her dad hasn’t yet noticed in Inside Out. TAYLOR: Inside Out surprised me. Here is a film about an unhappy girl, whose success is found in the common disappointment of her lost innocence. Everybody grows up. Everybody has feelings. Those feelings are built upon our past thoughts and experiences. Feelings can change. Thoughts can change. Things are forgotten. Life goes on. These are the lessons of this Disney/ Pixar film. I can appreciate its intentions and I am all for the dissemination of complicated concepts to eager young minds. I further applaud anyone who can cleverly weave said concepts into an entertaining yarn (not for me, for the kiddies). The children in the audience ate up this particular serving,
despite it being such a deliberate bummer. I thought it was a sad film about growing up. What say you, Fenin? FENIN: It was very funny and sad also. I liked all the little people that lived in the girls head, the green girl (Disgust) who said, “Ewww, I don’t like broccoli,” even though she hadn’t tried it and Mr. Mad, when he got angry his head would set alight. HOWE: But did you understand who the people are meant to be? FENIN: Yes Dad, they are who make us feel how we are: happy, sad, angry and fear. HOWE: I applaud Disney/ Pixar for stepping out of its animated comfort zone for Inside Out, going away from
the princesses, the lovable toys or speaking vehicles. They gave a pretty accurate description of what is going on in a life of preteen, even though it’s a few years ago now since I was one. I felt they got the balance just right with emotions, not too much dreariness, otherwise they may turn some kids off the movie. There were plenty of places they kept it lighthearted, especially when it came to the dad’s emotions. That provided some of the funnier moments in the movie and you could tell by the laughing in the theatre most of the audience (mainly the dads) agreed with me. TAYLOR: There were lighthearted moments. They also dropped a few subtle jokes for the adults. A box of opinions gets jumbled with a box of facts and no one in Riley’s mind cares, “Don’t worry about it!” Still, I was moved by the film’s message more than its delivery. I felt sorry for Riley, for myself and for all children who have grown up, for our imaginary friends. It’s a very good film and good for you. I almost enjoyed it, but joy is too strong a word. Instead, I’ll respect it. – Howe gives Inside Out 3 spaceships out of 5. – Fenin gives it 4 green girls out of 5. – Taylor gives it 4 paradigm shifts out of 5.

fans can look forward to seeing the band perform the album, which is also being reissued in September, in its entirety. The three founding members of The Tea Party, Jeff Martin, Jeff Burrows and Stuart Chatwood, are looking forward to sharing songs such as The Bazaar and Sister Awake with their fans again. “People often ask me ‘what does The Edges of Twilight mean to me as a musician?’ My answer, although not so simple,
is simply this: it was the crystallization and the manifestation of an incredible musical vision between the three of us, and the fact that it was achieved in such a way was probably, and is still, one of the proudest musical achievements of my life,” said frontman Martin. Originally released on March 28, 1995, The Edges of Twilight hit double platinum and was nominated for two Juno awards. The title of the album was taken from a
chapter of the book, Fire in the Head, by American author Tom Cowan, which also inspired the name of the first track on the album. Chatwood (bass and keys) shares how the band’s travels strongly influenced this album. “After we came off the road for (1993 album) Splendor Solis, the time was set for us to head to the studio for Edges of Twilight and our musical travels informed that record, and we expanded the band’s sound going in the direction of incorporating world music instruments. So, it was just a monumental record of our career and it sort of set the main signpost that dictated where the band was to head musically for the subsequent releases.” Tickets to see The Tea Party’s The Edges of Twilight live go on sale today and cost $46 at the Performing Arts Centre box office.

Texan bridges the gap Leon Bridges: Coming Home
T
he first album from Texas soul singer Leon Bridges is a spellbinding shift in time. Bridges opens a channel into the Kennedy era/Johnson administration period of American soul music – the classic time that set the template for the genre. Coming Home isn’t dabbling in the genre, it’s a full Dean Gordon-Smith immersion in the sound of that time. Bridges’ vocal inspiration derives from Sam Cooke and he takes his cue from the gospel derived delivery and pop song smoothness that Cooke combined. This recording is a glimpse into the phenomenon of how a sound and style can reach across decades to touch someone and reawaken a style. It’s uncanny but it’s real.
Street SoundS
The production and presentation follow suit. The analog recording equipment that was used sounds warm and deep and the songs are short and dreamy. It’s a focussed album. The title track sums up the mood and appeal of the album: it’s a wistful look back at simpler times. Lisa Sawyer, a dedication to Bridges’ mother, is a slinky biographical homage that is an evocation of an era: big cars, AM radios, polka dot dresses and no internet culture. But it’s bittersweet as well – the era it channels had assassination, war and a huge cultural shift on the horizon. What’s the point? In the context of today, it’s about the discovery of a new voice. Bridges is an artist whose sound seems fully developed from the start – so he’s going to have more to say. If it’s a throwback, it opens a door on the rediscovery of important sounds from simpler times. Popular music forms have always looked back, gathered inspiration and moved on. Besides that, this just sounds great.

A picnic to share stories Cara Brady Morning Star Staff
It was a story about coyote that first caught Jack Spotted Eagle’s attention. “I was about six. My grandfather, Jimmy Bonneau, always told us the traditional stories. This one was about how coyote knew the Creator was giving names to the animals and wanted to be first but he overslept and was last. His name was Sen’klip.” Spotted Eagle started learning the stories himself. “Sharing stories is important to aboriginal people,” he said. “The stories can be different in different areas but they are sometimes similar. Sometimes in the stories, it seems the answer isn’t there and you need to listen and figure out the lesson. The stories are told at special celebrations, in sweat houses or in family groups. “Telling the stories is just something I do. I tell them to fit the listeners or some that I don’t know as well I will read. I find children very receptive and, of course, adults who come out are receptive as well.” He is pleased that many of the Okanagan stories were preserved by a woman named Morning Dove in the late 1800s and are now available in English, and that more young aboriginal people are learning about their language and culture at school and at home. “Stories are added, modern day stories as ways of teaching how to live in the modern world,” said Spotted Eagle, a social worker with First Nations people and former First Nations advocate in schools, where he told the stories to students. He has also spoken about the use of storytelling at national and international social work conventions. “In social work you see everything, the bad outcomes, the good outcomes. These stories, old and new, can help people learn how to make authentic changes in their own lives. We have the stories from the past and the stories that are happening today. Cultures evolve.” He also appreciates traditional music and the music and art that First Nations people are creating now. Spotted Eagle, father of six and grandfather of six, will keep telling the stories.

ear Annie: My father is starting to have trouble managing his banking. He has a decent fixed income, but somehow, he is now living from one cheque to the next and he’s getting costly overdrawn notices. I have started to write out his bills, and I try to keep his chequebook balanced. Last week, I went to the bank with him for the first time. He could not remember his account number. He knew nothing about how much was in his account and it was obvious that the tellers were aware Kathy Mitchell & MarcySugar of this. They called him by name, trying to help him. When he finished depositing a cheque, he tipped the teller $30. He said he tips them all the time because they help him. Annie, I know he makes withdrawals every Friday to “make it through the weekend,” but I didn’t realize he was tipping the tellers. Is this permitted? I had no idea tellers could accept tips. My father doesn’t have a great deal of money and my brother and I often help him out so he can balance his chequebook. How should we handle this? — Senior Banking Issues Dear Banking: We don’t know what bank your father patronizes, but every bank we checked said that tipping is absolutely not permitted. Your father obviously has some memory issues and unless the bank tellers are depositing those tips back into Dad’s account, they are taking advantage of him. Complain to their supervisors. And if Dad is living cheque-to-cheque, it sounds as though it is time for someone else to manage his banking. Discuss this with your brother, so there are no arguments, and then approach Dad, explaining that you want to be sure his money lasts. Make him a part of the process. It would be best if you could limit how often he goes to the bank, so have his checks deposited automatically and give him a weekly allowance in cash. We know it’s extra work for you, but this is what responsible, caring children do for their parents. Dad should be evaluated by his physician for signs of dementia, and if he is living alone, you might start looking into retirement communities that will provide a safe environment, as well as companionship, conversation and community. Dear Annie: I have a solution for “Trapped by Nosy Nellie,” who is worried that putting up a fence will reflect poorly on them. She should tell the nosy neighbor that she’s considering adopting a dog and one of the requirements is a fenced yard. Problem solved. — Dog Lover in Oregon

It’s time to ‘Build It!’ at the library Morning Star Staff
“Build It!” is the theme of this year’s Summer Reading Club at Okanagan Regional Library (ORL) branches in the North Okanagan. All five library locations in the region — Vernon, Cherryville, Lumby, Armstrong, and Enderby — have planned free special events and programs throughout the summer to ensure school-aged children improve their literacy skills and have fun while on holiday. Summer Reading Club is an annual focus of the ORL regional library system, with support from the BC Library Association, the Ministry of Education and local Friends of the Library groups. Local librarians have witnessed firsthand the difference summer reading can make in a young reader’s life. “By incorporating literacy into fun hands-on activities we make reading enjoyable,” said Stephanie Vollick, children’s librarian at the Vernon library. “Summer Reading Club give kids a chance to learn at their own pace and connect with other kids who share their interests. Participating in reading challenges and earning medals helps build their confidence with reading.” Each summer a province-wide theme for the Reading Club is chosen with activities and booklists relating to the theme. For 2015, illustrator, animator and game designer Shayne Letain created the “Build It!” theme to encourage active participation and creativity from program participants. Games, reading lists, colouring pages and construction projects that can be done at home can be found on the BC Summer Reading Club website at www. kidssrc.ca.
Okanagan-based magician Leif David, known to many as “Ali K. Zam,” created a special new 45-minute magic show based on the “Build It!” theme and will tour all 29 ORL branches over the summer. To join Summer Reading Club, check with your local library branch for detailed registration information and activity dates. Every branch has reading logs to track children’s reading activity with prizes for completion. Basic information is as follows. The Vernon branch has many Summer Reading Club activities throughout the summer for ages five to eight and nine to 13, while continuing StoryTime for under 3s and special programming for teens. Registration for each Summer Reading Club event opens two weeks prior to the event date; check their branch page for details. Vernon’s launch party is on July 3. Lumby’s Summer Reading Club registration is open now, with four special programs July 9, 23, Aug. 13 and 27. Space is limited at certain events so register early. The Cherryville branch is hosting two special events on July 9 and 16; visit the branch for details. The Enderby branch is hosting weekly events from June 27 to Aug. 12. Registration is open and required; more details at on the website. The Armstrong branch’s Summer Reading Club registration is now open, with weekly programs between July 4 and Aug. 7, as well as contests and prizes. For more details, check www.orl.bc.ca/ branches. nnn One of the most popular events of the Okanagan Regional Library’s annual Summer Reading Club is a touring per-
former who visits all 29 branches throughout the vast ORL region, from Golden to Osoyoos. For 2015, the ORL is once again hosting Okanagan-based magician Leif David, known to many by his previous stage name Ali K. Zam. David has created a brand new 45-minute show featuring magic, storytelling, comedy, music and tons of audience participation. “I love performing magic because I love seeing the reaction on people’s faces. Every performance and every audience is unique, and it’s just amazing to see how different audiences react,” said David. “Performing in libraries is especially important to me because I got my start in magic when I was eight years old by taking out books on magic from the local library in Westbank. “Now I get to inspire a new generation of readers by sharing my story of magic.” During the free show, David builds on the Summer Reading Club theme of “Build It!” and incorporates several popular children’s books including The Goblin Rainbow and The Empty Pot. Participants will also learn a trick they can make at home and hear about how David got his start in magic at the age of eight. The Summer Reading Club targets children aged five to 12 and encourages a love of literacy. Registration in the Summer Reading Club is free to all Okanagan Regional Library members; however, space for David’s show may be limited at some locations. Check www. orl.bc.ca/branches or your local library branch for more information. David’s first show in the North Okanagan is July 6 at 11 a.m. at the Falkland branch, followed by 1:30 p.m. at the Vernon branch.

forms well and the continuous tweaking has resulted in improved fuel economy. If you were to attend any of the major manufacturer media launches, you would hear journo after journo complain about the audacity of carmakers who use CVT. In the old days, CVT deserved its poor reputation with power lags, high revving, uneven gearing and unedifying and unexpected lurches forward! The technology has evolved. And, the fact is the average consumer has no problem with it, liking the smoother transitions. My first test route was in the Whistler area and showed off its hill climbing skills and the smoothness of the ‘dreaded’ CVT. It’s no gazelle but it is sure-footed and the CVT did not fail even when the driver behaved like a lead foot! I found the ride to be smooth and highway passing no challenge. Cornering at sensible speeds keeps the vehicle firmly planted. It’s darn quiet too. Then I spent a week tooling around
the city putting it through its shopping paces. Parking on the street was a little challenging but I’ll put that down to impatient drivers behind, not prepared for the Murano’s wide swing needed to get into that tricky spot. On the supermarket lot, it glided into spaces forwards or backwards with ease. It’s a fine long-distance vehicle but would serve well as a commuter where longer distances are the norm. I can see it being used in the suburbs but it’s a bit large for the centre of the city. The Murano is not too thirsty for its size – 11.2/8.3 L/100 kms. That’s about two litres per 100 klicks better than its main rivals. Prices: Murano S FWD, $29,998; Murano SV FWD, $33,698; Murano SV AWD,$35,698; Murano SL AWD, $39,098; Murano Platinum AWD, $43,498. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

All-new Infiniti Q30 compact entry debuts this fall By Keith Morgan
Premium brand Infiniti will unveil its first-ever compact car at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt in September this year (September 17 to 27). Two years after the Infiniti Q30 Concept debuted at the 2013 Frankfurt show, the production version of this segment-spanning compact car will be revealed at the show this year.
‘‘
Its design and engineering development has the fingerprints of fourtimes F1 Champion Sebastian Vettel all over it.
Infiniti is in the final stages of preparing the launch. Dynamic testing and ultimate Keith Morgan validation is currently taking place across the UK and throughout mainland Europe where development of the vehicle has been completed at the company’s Engineering Centre in Cranfield, in north-east England, since 2014.
’’
Vettel Q30
The Q30 will go on sale in Europe towards the end of 2015 with other markets to follow subsequently. More news on the Infiniti Q30 active compact will be released closer to the Frankfurt show in September. The road to production for this much-anticipated car has been rocky though not for what might be expected reasons. Its design and engineering development has the fingerprints of four-times F1 Champion Sebastian Vettel all over it.
7 days only! June 23 rd-30 th
When his ‘hands-on’ association with the car was revealed, it was not merely a stroke of marketing genius but the racer’s renowned smarts meant his input would be extremely valuable.
2015 HWY: 6.7L/100 KM CITY: 9.7L/100 KM▼
Then Infiniti President Johan de Nysschen announced the car alongside Vettel, who was wearing his Infiniti-Red Bull F1 team shirt for the occasion. Since then the president has headed over to GM to run Cadillac and Vettel has joined the Ferrari F1 team. After chatting to Vettel, there’s no doubt in the mind of yours truly that he will want to get a turn at the wheel of a Q30 production car to see just how much of his advice was accepted. Sadly, for Infiniti they won’t be able to trumpet his participation in Frankfurt this fall.

Drives-U-Crazy Good drivers signal their intent to turn left well in advance and may even touch their brakes to tip off those behind that they really are going to turn! Despite that, it’s amazing how many drivers behind fail to heed the warnings and drive up right behind the turning driver. Seems they look no further ahead than a car’s length.

The
Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder THREE FINESSES IN TWO SUITS D.B. Sweeney, an actor, said, “When you do a play, or even a movie, you have weeks to finesse your character. You really understand why they do what they do. In TV, you get new material weekly about your character.” At the bridge table, you will often be faced with finesses, but you do not have weeks to decide upon your line of play. In this deal, which finesses should South attempt? He zooms into six spades. West leads the club queen. Declarer takes the trick and draws trumps in three rounds. What should he do next? North’s three-heart rebid promised 5-7 points and at
least a five-card suit. Over four spades, South bid what he hoped he could make. Declarer starts with 11 top tricks: six spades, two hearts, one diamond and two clubs. If West has the heart queen, cashing declarer’s king, then taking that finesse will work; South might even collect an overtrick. But if the finesse loses, the contract has no chance. Is there something better? Of course there is. At trick five, South should lead his low heart and finesse dummy’s jack. If East wins the trick, declarer can claim. He has four heart tricks by overtaking his king with dummy’s ace. Or, if East does not take the trick, South can run one of
dummy’s diamonds. Then, when he wins the next trick with his club king, he overtakes his heart king with dummy’s ace and tries a second diamond finesse. His odds of success are very high, but they are hard to quantify because how likely is it that East would duck his heart queen?

In Memoriam
David Regehr
It is with the greatest sadness that our family announces the unexpected death of David William Regehr in Vernon, B.C. on June 22, 2015 at the age of 55. David is survived by his parents Florence and William Regehr of Winnipeg; his wife Beth Regehr; his children, Brydan and Sara Regehr; his sister Carol Pollack (Farley); niece, Kristen Spiers (Adam); and their daughter, Harper. He was predeceased by his son, James Christian Regher who passed away at four months in 1990. David was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on Feb. 28, 1960. He graduated from the University of Manitoba Dental School in 1983, then moved to Jasper where he practised at the Jasper Dental Clinic until 2000. This is where he fell in love with the mountains and became an avid sportsman and a devoted father. He moved to Vernon with his family in 2000 where he bought a dental practice. He was a compassionate dentist and valued his dental team both in Jasper and Vernon. David excelled in many sports. During the winter months he enjoyed cross-country and downhill skiing at Silver Star. As soon as the snow melted he was on his bike, rock climbing or kite boarding. He was a devoted family man and passed on his love of sports to his children. A perfect day for David was spending it outdoors with his family and friends. His family all had a passion for travelling and enjoyed exploring new countries together. Charity and mission work were important to David. He had a passion for helping those in need and volunteered in Jamaica, Mexico, St. Lucia, Peru, and Fiji. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends and all who knew him. A funeral service will be held at the Vernon Alliance Church, 2601-43 Ave. at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 27, 2015. Arrangements have been entrusted to Pleasant Valley Funeral Home, Phone: 250 542 4333. Condolences may be offered at www.pleasantvalleyfh.com
Douglas Wayne Anions 1947 - 2015 Doug passed away peacefully on Friday June 12, 2015 surrounded by his wife of 40 years, Marilyn, and sons Monte and Jesse. He is lovingly remembered by his grandson, Arlon; his sisters, Diane (Stuart), Doreen (Peter), and Pauline (Ken); and his brother Larry (Jo-Ann); his many and very close cousins, nieces and nephews; and so many great friends. We all are proud that Doug was an organ donor and able to give a beƩer life to two others. Doug always had a great compassion for others and always a posiƟve aƫtude for life. Doug was born in Chatham, Ontario. His love for wilderness, outdoor acƟviƟes and the environmentͬconservaƟon was inŇuenced at an early age by his father, Zeverend Zichard Anions and his friends Bob Jordan and Ted Ackert, both conservaƟon oĸcers. He was also greatly inspired by his uncle, Ken LoŌus, and Dr. John 'ibson, Įsheries biologists. He shared his great sense of humour and interest in medicine with his mother, Winifred Anions. Doug started work at the ConservaƟon AuthoriƟes in Owen Sound, later working as a park wardenͬbiologist for naƟonal parks. His 25н year career with naƟonal parks included posiƟons at Pukaskwa, Point Pelee, St. Lawrence /slands, Wood Buīalo, Prince Albert, 'ros Morne, and naƟonal parks in Nunavut. He even joined his wife, Marilyn, for her botanical studies in the Mealy Mountains, Labrador. His great interest was wildlife research involving studies of wolf and bison interacƟons, salmonids, black bear, caribou, and moose. Zadio telemetry of these animals with many colleagues produced beƩer knowledge for understanding these species for resource management. He also worked with the NaƟonal Capital Commission in OƩawa and was edžtremely interested to increase protecƟon for 'aƟneau Park through designaƟon as a naƟonal park. Later Doug worked partƟme in OƩawa for the LiƋuor Control Board of Ontario, greatly improving his French speaking skills, plus increasing his edžperƟse about wine while working in vintages. Doug and Marilyn shared their love of dogs (and many other things͊). They began with Įeld trialing with their Įrst golden retriever, then with their second golden started breeding good lines for many years. One oīspring became grand champion in Manitoba with an annual trophy named in his honour. Two puppies from another liƩer were chosen to become part of the search and rescue team in Switnjerland. AŌer the last golden retriever, Doug and Marilyn rescued a tri-coloured border collie, Zueben, who is now joined by Jesse͛s dog, NanuƋ, for friendship and company. Doug was an acƟve tennis player and enjoyed playing with his friends previously at the OƩawa Tennis Club and recently at the Vernon Tennis Club. He recently began archery and was looking forward to a summer and many more years Įlled with outdoor acƟviƟes and adventures with family. AŌer moving all over Canada, Doug and Marilyn choose to reƟre in the beauƟful township of Spallumcheen, near Armstrong, BriƟsh Columbia, to be closer to sons and grandson. A CelebraƟon of Life is planned for Saturday July 11, 2015 from 2͗00 to 5͗00pm at St James Anglican Church, 2ϯ15 PaƩerson Ave, Armstrong, BC. /n lieu of Ňowers, Doug would have wished for thoughƞul donaƟons be made to the Nature Conservancy of Canada, hƩp͗ͬͬwww.natureconservancy.caͬ. Sincere thanks to the paramedics, air ambulance pilots, and Dr. 'ovender, the trauma team at emergency, and doctors and nurses at the Kelowna 'eneral Hospital /Ch.

William Alexander Arnott August 14, 1929 to June 18, 2015
With sadness we said good-bye to our wonderful husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, Bill Arnott, on June 18, 2015. We miss him dearly but understand that it was time for the journey home. Bill was known to be very active in the community over the years, as a Rotarian, as a businessman owning Wm. Arnott Jewellers for forty years, president of the Downtown Vernon Association, and many other community involvements. Bill retired in 1995 and since then has enjoyed the company of many wonderful buddies playing pool, ping pong, curling and golfing first at Predator Ridge and in the latter years, Hillview Golf Course. Of all the things that Bill did and enjoyed, he was the most proud of his family; his wife of 59 years, Penny, his son Billy Arnott and his wife Debbie Skoda, his daughter Susan Arnott, his daughter Bobbie Wood and her husband Len, Bill’s grandchildren Christy Dickinson and her husband Levi, Melissa Hinman, and Steve Wood and Bill’s great grandson who joined the family on May 26, 2015, Thomas Alexander Dickinson. A Memorial Tea to celebrate Bill’s life will be held Saturday June 27, 2015 at the Schubert Centre between the hours of 2-4 PM. Arrangements have been entrusted to Vernon Funeral Home, Phone: 250 542 0155. Condolences may be offered at www vernonfuneralhome.com
