Latest Stickle proposal drives outrage RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Opposition has erupted over the latest plan for a dangerous intersection just north of Vernon. After abandoning no left-hand turns from Stickle Road on to Highway 97, the Ministry of Transportation is now proposing a multipronged approach. It was condemned at Vernon city hall Monday. Scott Anderson “I don’t get the sense we’re being listened to,” said Coun. Scott Anderson. The new proposal calls for a protected T intersection to allow for left turns from Stickle Road on to the highway towards Vernon.

There would be a separate left turn with because motorists don’t expect signals on Park. turn-around access for the Silver Star RV high-speed highways.” “Where is the logic?

Plan may get bypassed RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A U-turn could be pulled on a controversial Vernon highway route. Coun. Dalvir Nahal was among four council members to vote Monday to add the western bypass to the 25-year master transportation plan. However, by the end of the day, she was putting Dalvir Nahal staff on notice that she will ask her colleagues to reconsider the matter Aug. 10. “I thought about it and it’s something that may or may not happen so it’s not fair to restrict people’s property,” said Nahal of

the reason for her sudden turn-about. If council agrees to reconsider the issue, it’s possible the previous 4-3 vote in favour of including the bypass in the plan could be overturned based on Nahal’s changed vote. The western bypass extends from Mission Hill through Okanagan Landing to Swan Lake and would replace 32nd Street as the main highway route in Vernon. A previous council scrapped the concept in 2008 after significant public opposition. On Monday, city staff called for a bypass to be referenced in the transportation plan but it wasn’t site specific and that concerned some politicians. “Simply referencing it is almost throwing it away if we don’t have some details. My intent is to make it more specific,” said

Coun. Scott Anderson. Coun. Bob Spiers, who also voted for the western bypass with Coun. Brian Quiring, insists a potential corridor for a bypass must be protected if traffic demands grow long-term. “If it never happens, we will have a nice trail or a local road,” said Spiers. However, staff warned that pinpointing a specific route for a possible bypass could negatively impact the ability of property owners to develop their land. “We will be damaging people’s property values,” said Coun. Catherine Lord. Also opposing the naming of the western bypass were Mayor Akbal Mund and Coun. Juliette Cunningham. “I’m concerned that by identifying it, we may sterilize people’s property before we need to,” said Cunningham.

The names of the two women who were killed in a crash in Vernon late Saturday evening have been released. Chantel Diane Bazin, 22, and Kayla Elizabeth Cartwright, 26, both of Kelowna, died in a collision on Highway 97 at the 27th Street overpass just before midnight Saturday. Bazin was the driver, and Cartwright the front seat passenger, of a vehicle travelling southbound on Highway 97 when their vehicle slid across the centreline into the northbound lane, colliding with an on-coming vehicle. Both women died at the scene. The driver and passenger of the other vehicle were taken to hospital for treatment. The roads were wet at the time, and road conditions are being investigated as a possible factor in the incident. The coroners service and Vernon RCMP continue to investigate and witnesses are being sought. “Investigation has revealed a southbound vehicle crossed the centre line of the highway and collided with a northbound vehicle,” said Cpl. Joseph Leeson. “Two female passengers from the first vehicle, aged 22 and 26 from Kelowna, were deceased at the scene of the collision while a 32-year-old female and 26-year-old male in the second vehicle from Armstrong were transported to hospital with serious but non life threatening injuries.” Highway 97 was closed in both directions onekilometre north of Vernon until approximately 6 a.m. Sunday. “The RCMP are asking anyone who may have witnessed the crash or were at the scene to assist the victims to please call our office at 250-5457171 and speak to our investigators,” said Gordon Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson.

Family can keep pot bellied pig RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A backyard pig has been given a reprieve. A majority of Vernon council has agreed to provide a temporary exemption to a family so it can continue to keep a pot bellied pig as a pet despite it going against bylaws. “If any complaints are received about odour in the future, council can revoke the exemption,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham. Staff had recommended that compliance with the animal regulation and animal pound bylaw be

“I don’t want to see a 200pound pig...” — Brian Quiring

enforced. Under the rules, all swine, including pot bellied pigs, are considered farm animals and not allowed on residential lots. However, Coun. Scott Anderson says research he did dispels concerns from staff. “They smell less than a dog,” he said of pot

bellied pigs. “My dog is 100 pounds and a neighbour’s dog is 150 pounds. The argument against, it doesn’t seem to wash.” Opposition to the exemption came from Mayor Akbal Mund and Councillors Bob Spiers and Brian Quiring.

“I don’t want to see a 200-pound pig walking around my neighbour’s yard. We have bylaws for a reason.” said Quiring. “I can’t believe we would allow a pig to walk around oinking and snorting.” Mund believes the exemption may set a precedent. “I fear it opens it up to other farm animals — horses, cows,” he said. However, Anderson pointed out that council approves variances to bylaws regularly and that doesn’t set precedent, while Cunningham says

the issue of future pot bellied pigs can be addressed on a case-bycase basis. “I don’t think there’s a plethora of pigs out there. We allow chickens, six chickens (in yards),” she said.

“I have heard from both sides.”

Morning Star Staff

Tough anti-smoking rules are another step closer to reality in Lumby. Council gave three readings Monday to amend bylaws to ban smoking throughout all parks, at the salmon trail and at bus stops. “This is about public health and safety,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. “Children start smoking because they see adults smoke. We don’t want children to see smoking modelled. If we can keep kids from starting, we’re ahead of the game.” Currently, smoking is only prohibited in specific areas frequented by children, such as the playground. Coun. Lori Mindnich admits the new regulations have generated some public debate. “I have heard from both sides. Some say they will have to leave areas now and others say, ‘I never smoked around my kids,’” she said. The sole opposition to the bylaw amendment was Coun. Nick Hodge. “I don’t think it’s a major concern and it’s not an enforceable bylaw,” he said. The bylaw amendment could be adopted by council Aug. 10.

Ex-wife takes stand in child pornography trial BARRY GERDING Black Press

A marriage in turmoil was the backdrop to the opening day of a trial involving a former Vernon police officer charged with possession of child pornography. The defendant Ryan David Hampton, still remanded in custody, sat in the courtroom and listened as his exwife Valerie Anne Little testified how she discovered a USB drive that contained 62 images of child pornography, involving girls and boys under the age of 10. Hampton faces three charges related to the child pornography possession and six counts of failing to comply with an order to not contact

Little and one count of trying to obstruct justice in the investigation by telling her not to contact police. The case was moved from Vernon to Kelowna provincial court for reasons of efficiency, as the anticipated 10-day trial couldn’t be scheduled with available court time in Vernon. Under questioning from Crown counsel Claire Ducluzeau, Little described her marriage to Hampton as combustible, one with constant destructive arguments and mistrust, coupled with many disagreements and reconciliations. Little, who is now divorced from

Hampton, first met him after she graduated from the RCMP training program and was assigned to the Vernon detachment, where Hampton was already working. After she started her Vernon posting in 2009, the two started dating in 2010 and were married in June 2011. They would have three kids together. Hampton was previously married and also had two children from that relationship. Little testified that she first noticed the USB drive with the child pornography in April 2013, and held on to it for 28 days wondering what to do with it. She didn’t believe her husband was a pedo-

phile and she knew the evidence could ruin his career. But Little said she had earlier become suspicious of Hampton’s online activities after she caught him typing child pornography into the search bar of their desktop computer in June 2012. At that time, she put a password on the computer, and in the months that followed any link to Hampton and child pornography subsided in her mind, to the point where at Christmas of that year she purchased him a pink Samsung laptop computer. But during that time, Hampton began to argue with her frequently and disappear for hours at a time, which the court heard was due to Hampton’s addictions to alcohol, cocaine and heroin. During that time, Hampton was already under a supervised treatment program

through the RCMP detachment. In January, Hampton passed out at their house and was taken to the Vernon hospital, where he was administered the drug Narcon to revive him from his unconscious state, which Little said the doctors told her was due to sleep apnea, although Narcon is commonly used to revive people who have overdosed. Little said she discovered the USB drive atop a book shelf in the basement of their home in April 2013, and plugged it in to see what it was, saying she was immediately horrified by the child pornography images. She confronted Hampton about the images, asking what he was thinking to have those images when he was the father at that time of their two young children. “We had an argument about it, and he ran out of the house,”

Little recalled, noting one of the images of girls looked very similar to their own two-yearold daughter which she said left her feeling rattled. When he arrived back home, she had been packing his bags and kicked him out of the house. He protested saying “there was no one under the age of 10” on the hard drive. Eventually, Little testified that Hampton explained to her he had downloaded what he thought was an adult porn file, so she gave him the USB drive. Hampton would give the file back to Little during another argument, telling her to “do what you want with it.” It was about this time that Little also learned that she was pregnant with the couple’s third child. She turned the file over to Vernon RCMP in May 2014, and was ultimately reprimanded for initially withholding

evidence in a crime. In his opening statement, defence lawyer Jason Tarnow said he intended to show Little knew a divorce was imminent and downloaded the child pornography images herself, using a laptop computer she had registered in his name, to build her case for a positive divorce settlement in her favour. Tarnow said Little’s plan was to gain custody of their three children, get child support, and the equity in their home. Tarnow said Hampton’s ex-wife took advantage of his addiction issues to create the child pornography scheme. “Because of his addictions, his work suffered tremendously and his home life was full of turmoil,” Tarnow said. He said there were inconsistencies in Little’s statements to police and in the preliminary inquiry into the charges which he would address in court. Under cross-examination of Little on Monday, Tarnow challenged her knowledge of computers, which Little said was limited, and inconsistencies in her testimony with previous statements made to police during the initial investigation. But Little maintained she has always tried to be truthful throughout the investigative process involving Hampton and brushed off any discrepancies in the timeline of events as not being able to remember or recollect specific statements she made previously. The trial continues with Little to face further cross-examination followed by the testimony of other Vernon RCMP officers involved in the investigation and other officers who were friends of both Hampton and Little.

Ministry off course

ne of the Ministry of Transportation staff that appeared before Vernon city council Monday is based in Kamloops. To get here, he would have passed through several traffic signals on the Trans-Canada Highway. Another ministry official came up from Kelowna and virtually everyone is familiar with the barrage of lights lining Highway 97 in Kelowna and Lake Country. But despite that personal experience, they tried to convince Vernon’s politicians that a traffic signal at Highway 97 and Stickle Road is not only impractical, but dangerous. “It will result in delays and traffic queues,” said Rampaul Dulay, the minRichard Rolke istry’s project director, of a light. “It has the potential to increase collision rates at the intersection with a high frequency of rear-end collisions anticipated.” Dulay also went on to say that, “Driver expectations will not be met because motorists don’t expect signals on high-speed highways.” Based on that argument, Coun. Scott Anderson suggested, “we should take out all traffic signals.” And it’s difficult to believe the ministry is taking that stance when you consider the speed limits that range from 50 to 90 kilometres-anhour in Lake Country and Kelowna. Motorists are ramping the speed up pretty good when they hit a signal at the Kelowna airport and very few accidents are publicly reported there. The situation isn’t much different in Kamloops and particularly in the Valleyview area and heading east through industrial zones. “I don’t understand why we can’t have a light,” said Mayor Akbal Mund, who spends a lot of time behind the wheel. Despite the ministry’s description of Stickle Road being on a high-speed highway, it’s not in

BEYOND THE HEADLINES

the middle of the boondocks. It is just a short distance from a heavily built-up commercial core, and there are longstanding businesses and residences at the intersection. More commercial development will occur there once sewer lines are extended. Coun. Juliette Cunningham is not impressed with the ministry’s opposition to a light. “There’s a bias and the negatives have been emphasized,” she said. And that is particularly the most surprising factor given that the city, the regional district, businesses and residents have categorically insisted what their preferred option is for the intersection. In fact, Dulay even acknowledged that during an April 30 open house, the ministry heard the need to, “install a traffic signal to improve safety.” But instead of proceeding with grassroots feedback, the ministry went in a completely different direction and is now proposing a model that would allow for left-hand turns from the east side of the highway but eliminate cross traffic and left-hand turns on the west side. “This was one of the proposals considered before,” said Bob Fleming, regional district director. That means little effort went into viable options once the plan for prohibiting left-hand turns was scrapped, and the ministry simply dusted off an old design. Given that the new proposal has been revealed and opposition will have time to wage a fight, the ministry’s July 30 open house could make the raucous April 30 session look like a tea party. My prediction is that so much pressure will build up that MLA Eric Foster will urge the ministry to back off this plan just as occurred after the last open house. What that will mean is despite the ministry wasting significant time and resources, a traffic signal will ultimately be installed.

To paraphrase Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz … water and power and fire, oh my! Unlike Dorothy’s fears of walking through the unknown — and creepy — forest, the fear of forest fires, of power outages and water shortages are only too real this summer for citizens of the Okanagan. Hot dry weather has communities raising a flag on water usage, B.C. Hydro expressing concern about power usage across the province and the Kamloops Fire Centre declaring a region-wide ban on campfires. Taken together, it all sounds a little bit apocalyptic. But we haven’t reached the end of times just yet — these are necessary precautions being taken by those in positions of authority. Human-caused fires eat up resources that could be used fighting naturally caused fires and air conditioners and fans add to the load on an already stressed electrical grid. As for water supply, estimates predict that in three decades, about one-third of the world’s population will suffer from chronic water shortages. Each year, global water consumption rises by two to three per cent, while the total supply of fresh water remains relatively constant. So perhaps it’s time to take notice of these times, when our systems are being pressed to the limit and wonder what it might be like in years to come, when severe restrictions are placed on power and water as a daily measure. Sure, conserving a few drops of water here and there might not seem like a lot, but those drops add up fast. And developing a conservationist attitude now, both as individuals and as a community, is the path to ensuring there will be resources available for our grandchildren. — Penticton Western News

New rink is a must-have

he need for a new ice surface in Vernon is something that must not go unnoticed. With our growing population, and the youth in our city, a new rink is a must-have” It will also bring in tourism and revenue. This could become a significant factor in our city in the near future. Why do we need a new rink in Vernon? The answer is simple: the Civic Arena in Vernon is in the decline and is no longer an adequate place for the youth in our city to participate in the various sports services it has offered in the past. It was constructed in 1938 and was the first actual ice rink in Vernon. When it was completed in 1938, the city was home to a mere 5,000 people. In the span of 77 years, the City of Vernon has grown to a population of more than 40,000 people (2013), and its metropolitan region, Greater Vernon, has a population of 58,584 according to the 2011 Census. The population has grown eight fold since the Civic Arena opened its doors but Vernon’s recreation facilities have not grown at the same pace. The newly elected mayor of Vernon, Akbal Mund, has proposed plans to build a new rink. During a press conference in January, Mund stated, "the Civic is well past its time and we need to move forward. We know what the solution is”(Morning Star - January 2015). He added that twin ice sheets at Kal Tire Place will help promote Vernon as a destination for major or minor tournaments. Mund, being a large supporter of progression, has a vision for the city and the possible additions that could be made to its infrastructure. In talking with various coaches and players who are currently participating in the Greater Vernon Minor Hockey Association (GVMHA),

BLUE BIN BLUES I must take offence to a recent editorial where it was suggested we Vernon recyclers have settled in and accepted the blue bins introduced a while back to take the place of the blue bag system. While I agree with the concerns and complaints of others (wet, soggy, heavy containers, too few bins for sorting, I also must add poor service to the list. Countless times I have come home from work to find that my bins were not fully emptied. Paper strewn down my road is an

most are not only in agreement of a new ice sheet, but enthused about the city’s youth playing in a new, safer arena. In talking with a coach who has seen his son play in the Civic Arena for the past 10 years, he mentioned that, "the Civic used to be a great arena. It was 100 per cent capable of hosting GVMHA’s major and minor tournaments. Yet, in the recent years, with other associations beginning to upgrade their own arenas, it has come to many people’s attention, that we need to keep up with the times. The Civic needs to go, and a new rink is needed.” The method of payment for the entire project is still up in the air. Most likely, there will be a slight increase in taxes to pay for the project and also to allow the new rink to be maintained. Even with the taxes increasing, the rink itself will make Vernon a destination that is capable of hosting large tournaments and events and increasing tourism. Penticton, for example, hosts many big events and is a major spot for music tours because of the South Okanagan Events Centre (SOEC). In Salmon Arm, they have a dual rink sports centre. One rink is for the community recreation use and the other is for the local BCHL team, the Salmon

issue too. Luckily, or perhaps not, one day I was home when the recycling truck came by. I watched as the operator tried once to empty my cardboard bin. He banged the bin on the side of the truck but the cardboard would not come out, so he simply put the full bin down and moved on up the street. He did not attempt to dislodge the cardboard with his hand or any other tool. He chose to leave the bin there full for another two weeks. I decided to take the bin up the street to him. I proceeded to show

Arm Silverbacks, as well as the local hockey association. If our city were to build a rink of a similar magnitude, or make improvements to the existing Kal Tire Place, we could host tours, events, and a variety of recreational activities, that attracts a larger crowd. In June 2014, the former president of GVMHA, Richard Frater, sent a letter to Vernon city council expressing the needs of a new ice sheet in Vernon. In the letter, Mr. Frater stated: “We would be able to develop additional skill camps, and have the ability to host additional tournaments. Instead of our usual eightteam tournaments, we could easily attract 12 to 16-team tournaments throughout each weekend in the fall and winter. "Private spring and summer teams would have the same benefits. The economic benefit from sport tourism can be seen every weekend when GVMHA hosts a tournament. "Hotel parking lots are full, Boston Pizza and other restaurants are enjoying increased visitation, and families are spending throughout the community.” Does all this need to be done immediately? No, it doesn’t need to begin right away. Even though it is a plan Akbul Mund has, we still have to wait for approval from Victoria, and then consensus from the taxpayers of Greater Vernon, “but first our elected leaders need to have the vision and passion to lead us into the future and demonstrate a commitment to the youth of today and tomorrow.” The possibility of a new rink in the next few years is one that excites many people. It will expand and benefit this place we call home. Brennan Seltzer

him how easy it was to empty the bin if he would have actually used his hands. What a novel concept. It came out right away. That’s right, I emptied my own recycling into the truck. I’m sure WorksafeBC would have a field day with this one. He did not apologize or say a word. I contacted the company to file a complaint since I pay for this service. To my surprise the woman became very defensive and acted like she would be unable to find out who the driver was. Really? This company wouldn’t

know who was on its routes? Bigger problems than meet the eye I guess. So I have now returned to my blue bags, no sorting required. I take them to the landfill and drop them off in the designated area. It’s easy. The thing is, though, if the intent of recycling is to help reduce waste, then it has not succeeded. I waste my gas driving to the landfill and emit my exhaust into the atmosphere. What has been accomplished? I did not get used to or accept the blue bins. I tried but in the end I simply gave up and moved on. James Schneider

WATER USAGE Reading the Water Wise guide, it states that up to 50 per cent of water is lost to evaporation if applied during the hot daytime. Homeowners are bound by bylaws to obey the water restrictions that are in place. I have noticed for years that agricultural irrigation tends to operate 24/7. Is the rate of evaporation different for agricultural use compared to domestic? Brian Kilmartin

Keefer resort to expand RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff July

30 Avenue Railway Crossing Closed for Repair

A wilderness resort development could have a major economic boost for Cherryville. The Electoral Area Advisory Committee has recommended to the Regional District of North Okanagan board that a development permit with variances be issued for a new lodge at Keefer Lake Wilderness Resort. “It’s a beautiful setting and a business welcome in the area,” said Hank Cameron, Cherryville director. “It’s very suitable for that kind of activity.” The applicant is proposing to construct an 11-room lodge, including a lounge and restaurant, retail space, administrative offices, a massage area, a sauna and a recreation room. The resort, which is 14 kilometres east of Highway 6, is a destination for fishing, mountain bikeng, hiking, smomobiling, cross-country skiing and ATV touring. The lodge would serve as a base for cat skiing and heli-skiing tours. A variance is needed because the applicant wants to increase the height of the building from the permitted eight metres to 14.5 metres on the rear side. “It makes sense to go higher because of the environmental footprint,” said owner Jeff Gostlin.

“It’s very suitable for that kind of activity.” — Hank Cameron

“We’re not building a skyscraper, it’s just one level higher.” The variance got support from EAAC members. “Height won’t be a problem because there are no neighbours,” said Herman Halvorson, rural Enderby director. The other variance means the parking lot and loading area won’t have to be paved. “Paving doesn’t make sense. We are 14 kilometres on the Keefer Lake Road which is a gravel road. We may do some paving to keep dust down,” said Gostlin. While a development permit is moving ahead at RDNO, a building permit has not been issued. Gostlin says there are plans for a second-phase expansion of the lodge and perhaps cabins in 10 to 15 years.

Lack of maintenance and unknown conditions, however, raises concerns if being relied upon for evacuations. That’s a major focus of the aerial reconnaissance by the emergency response agencies responsible for fighting fires and protecting lives,” said Baker.

Tenor sings for Opera in the Park Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

It’s been 10 years since Vernon was host to one of the only opera festivals in the B.C. Interior. A not-too distant memory for one of its founders, local tenor Paul Moore, the Okanagan Vocal Arts Festival ran for four years and saw performers – both professional and amateur – from all parts of Canada and overseas converge on our small city for a week of singing. Among the events were master classes, workshops, and a performance of a full-scale opera. Also born out of the festival was the very popular and free community event, Opera in the Park, where singers casually performed famous arias alfresco at the Polson Park bandstand. It’s that event that Moore is resurrecting when Opera in the Park returns to Polson Park this Sunday. “We were looking for the right time to stage it again,” said Moore. “We were hoping to resurrect it with new energy by starting with a free event in the park. We hope to grow it from there.” On the roster of performers is Moore, who was raised in Armstrong, and started out singing in his dad’s rock band. Moore would go on to study classical voice and opera at UVic, McGill, New York’s The

Juilliard School, the Mozarteum in Salzburg, and the Israeli Vocal Institute. He has sung professionally in most major Canadian cities with opera companies and symphony orchestras. Moore has continued to perform since returning to the North Okanagan 18 years ago. Besides singing from the classical and operatic repertoire, he has fronted rock groups and big bands and has also taught voice and produced operatic theatre.

“We were looking for the right time to stage it again.” — Paul Moore

His more recent project is leading the Kokanee Singers, a choir he founded in 2012. “My mom and dad now sing in the choir, so it has come full circle,” said Moore. Joining Moore at Opera in the Park will be the Kokanee Singers as well as the Inspirati Chorale, which features a smaller group from the choir who sing medieval-era motets a cappella, and the Vernon Flute Ensemble, a trio of local flute players who are working on operatic repertoire. Also performing is guest soprano Stephanie Nakagawa, originally from Salmon Arm.

She has performed in numerous operas and with symphonies around the world and is currently pursuing her doctorate at UBC and holds a master’s in music performance from Indiana University. Those who love Italian opera composers Puccini and Verdi are in for a treat. “Eighty per cent of the program are familiar pieces,” said Moore. “We will have performances from La Boheme, Nessum Dorma (from Turandot), O mio babbino caro (from Gianni Schicchi), as well as Brindisi (The Drinking Song) from La Traviata.” There will also be a selection from Bizet’s Carmen and Handel’s Ombra mai fu as well as some musical theatre and popular music, including You Raise Me Up (made famous by Josh Groban) and Close Every Door from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Audience members will also have the opportunity to let their inner tenor or soprano out with a sing-along. The public is encouraged to bring a lawn chair and/or blanket. There will be food available from some mobile vendors as well as a draw for prizes, donated by local businesses who support classical music. Opera in the Park starts at 6 p.m. Sunday and is a free familyfriendly event.

Finale concert for flamenco-fusion duo El Javi is Friday sarah Willard Black Press contributor

Los Angeles based flamencofusion duo El Javi are winding up their whirlwind Gypsy Journey tour of Western Canada at a finale show in Vernon this Friday night at Pottery Road Yoga Studio. This may be the last chance to catch this acclaimed instrumental band in Canada, as the duo continues to travel the world, bringing its class-act performances to the U.S. and Europe in the months to come. Black Press journalist Dale Boyd, with the Penticton Western News, wrote a glowing review of a recent sold-out El Javi show in Penticton, saying, “I’ve never seen the crowd at the Dream Café more enthused... They basically forced an encore of the duo.” Forks literally hung in mid-air, as the mesmerized dinner-crowd audience listened in rapture to each and every note. El Javi’s seductive combination of passionate musicianship and

Equally incredible is that these lush and intricate sounds come from a simple, unassuming set of a single guitar and minimalist drum

kit. The musical magic Mexicanborn guitarist Javi Guerez and Barcelona percussionist Jordi Marin weaves has to be seen to be believed. “This is our first visit to Canada, so people really didn’t know what

they were in for at our concerts,” said Javi, with a laugh. “In the past three weeks, we’ve already built up a fan base and our audience in the Okanagan have let us know how much they’ve enjoyed our shows.” “We didn’t even know what to expect from the venues or the audiences here,” added Jordi. “People treat us super good in Canada. Everyone we’ve met has been wonderful. All of us are sharing in unexpected surprises. We love it here.” El Javi commenced their tour in Canada at Lorenzo’s Café near Enderby in late-June, befriending the members of the popular Vernon act The Dharma Dolls. Upon seeing the band play, vocalist Judy Rose was instrumental in bringing the boys back to the North Okanagan by connecting El Javi to the Pottery Road Yoga Studio proprietors, Sherrie and Neil Erickson. The Ericksons are no strangers to hosting talented musical groups at their unique and beautiful set-

ting. Their outdoor stage setup is like a mini Roots & Blues-type festival, with guests bringing blankets and chairs to experience worldclass music in a casual, yet intimate environment. Concert-goers can expect the unexpected. Familiar classic-rock tunes spanning The Beatles to Led Zeppelin feature El Javi’s signature flamenco twist, while classic Spanish compositions and original numbers range from heart-breaking ballads to frenetically-paced numbers.

Bred in the western headland of Nelson, the intrepid Saturn Alien has migrated to mythical lands in the east (Montreal) to continue their rampage through acceptable social boundaries. Every member of the band firmly believes that they exist inside Thelonius Monk’s last unconscious vision, that they are in fact recurring players in a cyclical dreamscape outlining musical history. See them live when they play two shows in the North Okanagan next week, Monday at Lorenzo’s Café in Ashton Creek and July 22 at Vernon’s Gallery Vertigo, with opening act Soulstice. Doors to the Vernon show open at 7:30 p.m. with music at 8:30 p.m. Cover is on a sliding scale of $5 to $10 at the door.

For the record Sunday’s story on Craig Cardiff had the incorrect date for Cardiff ’s show at Triumph Coffee House in Vernon.

The concert takes place on Thursday, not tonight, as was reported to The Morning Star.

KDSC holds training Morning Star Staff

The Kelowna and District Safety Council’s Rider Training Program has been training safer riders since 1980 and it’s now looking to expand its team of motorcycle instructors. “We’ve built a really strong reputation on the high quality of our courses, our schedule flexibility, and the ability of our instructors to be supportive and to adapt their teaching to individual riders’ needs and learning styles,” said Tania Meyer, executive director. “It has been several years since we’ve run an open call for our instructor training course, so we’re holding a free info session today at 6:30 p.m. at KDSC (395 Hartman Rd.) to let people know what’s involved.” Although the session is free, RSVPs are appreciated by calling 250-765-3163 or by registering online on the Workshops & Events page of the Rider Training Menu.

Grade 5 and 6 students at Vernon Christian School recently turned their fundraising efforts towards Burkina Faso in Africa, raising more than $1,000 for needy families there through their “$5 Challenge.”

Students are ‘Good Samaritans’ Morning Star Staff

The students of Vernon Christian School’s Grade 5 and 6 classes recently raised $1,573.25 to help needy families in the struggling country of Burkina Faso in Northwestern Africa. Sara Beiniada, a VCS alumna and part of the Bridges for Hope Foundation, gave each student five dollars and challenged each one to turn it into

more money by creating something to sell. This enthusiastic group took up the “$5 Challenge” and baked, sewed, crafted, built, weaved, painted and made jewelry which turned their meager beginnings into major profits — but not for themselves. These students are learning that a global citizen is someone who reaches beyond their own circle of life and cares about

others in the world. Through Bridges of Hope, Beiniada will take this money and be able to do a similar thing with some families in Burkina Faso by giving each one a micro loan. “In turn, these families who live in an economically-poor area have a means to create new jobs and new income possibilities that will stimulate local, productive enterprise,” said Cheryl Jackshaw, a VCS

parent volunteer. “It’s a great opportunity for our students to have this personal and real life connection though Sara.” Vernon Christian School’s “Good Samaritans” put their discipleship training into a practical and long-lasting tool that will give these precious families a new, hope-filled future. For more information, see www.vcs.ca or the VCS Facebook profile.

Potatoes saved from compost

could say my potato crop was a failure. I had them in full sun on top of the bank but it was too hard to keep watering and hilling them. I read somewhere that the best soil for growing potatoes is a loose and deep loam. The soil should hold the moisture but it should also have good drainage. The potatoes I got from a friend had very long sprouts and she was to put them in the compost. Of course Jocelyne Sewell I had to try to rescue them. We had enough for a few meals and they were small and very tasty, but if I put the time and effort in the price, I think gold is a better buy. I didn’t have enough organic matter in my soil and having lots of clay around, it dried like concrete very fast, even with the mulch on top. Maybe next year. I also removed all the beans that I had planted on the east fence. The hedge next door drinks all the water and with the lack of rain this year, it is a losing battle. The beans in my other beds are doing

A GArdener’s diAry

well and I can see little beans coming up. I was surprised to see how good the peas did in this hot weather. We had a very good crop. Some of the vines were drying up and yet new growth was still coming, but it was time to clean the beds. I had our first tomato on July 1. This was the earliest I ever had ripe tomatoes. I keep on cutting the suckers and heavy mulching helps a lot. No bottom rot this year on any of them. I am changing the yard landscaping for a lot of flowers. If this is the weather to come in the future, I do not want to spend my mornings and evenings watering. I already have some of the droughttolerant plants in the garden. This site lists a lot of drought-tolerant plants: www.perennialresource.com Blue fescue (festuca glauca) will provide your drought-tolerant landscape plan with a shorter ornamental grass. Grown in zones 4-8. The popularity of this clumping grass lies in the blue colour of its foliage, which will beautifully complement the silvery foliage of lamb’s ears. Meanwhile, its spiky appearance will stand out in contrast to the smoothness of the lamb’s ears. The plant rather resembles a pincushion bristling with blue pins. Cut back foliage in early

spring. Divide every few years to rejuvenate. Lamb’s ears (Stachys byzantina) provide wonderful texture in rock gardens and spreads readily and can be invasive; but just this quality can make it an effective ground cover. Very easy to pull if it takes over your garden. Although not grown for its bloom, lamb’s ears does produce light purple flowers on tall spikes. It is grown for its silvery foliage, which has a velvety texture. The shape and texture of its leaf readily explains how lamb’s ears got its name. Lamb’s ears is deer-resistant; apparently it is this same texture that makes lamb’s ears unpalatable to deer. Autumn Joy sedum’s foliage consists of succulent leaves in whorls. The leaves are sometimes variegated and can range in colour from bluish-green or greenish-yellow to reddish-pink or almost off-white. But sedum is not just a foliage plant. It produces an unusual flower well worth growing in its own right. Sedum’s flowers can be yellow, orange, red or pink. Flowers usually bloom in clusters above the foliage. Grown in zones 3-9, Autumn Joy sedum is a butterfly magnet. For more information: 250-558-4556 plantlady1@shaw.ca

JCI Vernon members are busy fundraising this year in order to send four delegates from the local chapter to the Junior Chamber International World Congress in Kanazawa, Japan in November. On Sunday, these delegates are partnering with Kawakubo Japanese Restaurant to hold a Sushi and Sake Night. “It’s similar to a burger and beer fundraiser,” said Hailey Rilkoff, JCI Vernon member and one of the members travelling to Japan this fall. “It’s great because it supports both the JCI Vernon chapter while partnering with a local business.” Tickets are $30 each and include soup, two and a half sushi rolls and the choice of sake or Japanese beer, with 50 per cent of the ticket price going directly to help pay for the World Congress conference fees. “We’re incredibly excited to attend the JCI World Congress in Kanazawa, both for the leadership training and the cultural experience,” said Amy Markin, another of the four members travelling in the fall. “The chance to travel as a JCI Vernon delegate representing my community and my chapter is a oncein-a-lifetime experience.” In addition to the trainings, seminars and opportunity to connect with JCI members from around the world, this World Congress will also

Board demands more action over mussels Morning Star Staff

The Okanagan Basin Water Board welcomes increased provincial action on invasive mussels but the agency insists more needs to be done. Victoria has announced that the Columbia Basin Trust is providing funds to expand the number of roving boat inspection stations from three to six.

“This is generally very good news. Inspection and decontamination in the Kootenays helps protect the Okanagan,” said Anna Warwick Sears, OBWB executive director. “That being said, OBWB would prefer the province ensure the most defensive, conservative approach possible, with a minimum of five permanent inspection stations

at major highway crossings on the B.C.Alberta border.” With the announcement of three additional roving inspection stations, OBWB says the government has all of the resources and personnel needed to defend all major road crossings. “If they amend their tactical plan, from roving to permanent stations, they will have

Store rallies for Hospice House Morning Star Staff

Staff at a Vernon grocery store continues to remember a much beloved colleague. On Saturday, Butcher Boys will host the eighth annual Chris Huculak memorial barbecue. “Chris worked at Butcher Boys for nearly four decades; first as a carry-out, then a butcher and lastly, as a manager,” said Tamsen Guidi, with Butcher Boys. “Chris was a loyal, loving, Chris Huculak hard working, and hilarious individual who dedicated many early mornings and endless hours to making Butcher Boys a wonderful place to both work and shop.” In 2008, he died from cancer, but not before spending his last few days at the North Okanagan Hospice Society where he received palliative care.

“As a thank you for taking such good care of our friend, Butcher Boys continues to support NOHS in Chris’ honour, through hosting an annual fundraiser where 100 per cent of the proceeds go to NOHS,” said Guidi. “To date, Butcher Boys has raised nearly $70,000. Last year, alone, we were able to raise $16,360 - a new record. “This year, we are aiming to reach the $20,000 mark and we need your help.” Saturday’s event at the Pleasant Vallet Road store will include a barbecue prepared by the BX-Swan Lake Fire Department, a silent auction and a bake table. There will also be haircuts by Blanca’s Hairstyling, manicures by Estetics on the Go, a bouncy castle, face Painting by Charlene Beer, a 50/50 draw and live music. “The Butcher Boys family looks forward to seeing the community out there again this year,” said Guidi.

taken every step necessary to protect all B.C. waters,” said James Littley, operations manager. “This isn’t about action within our borders, it is about stopping invaders at our borders.” For more on zebra and quagga mussels, go to the OBWB website www. DontMoveAMussel.ca.

B.C. Fresh Salmon

Prized BC wild sockeye salmon is plentiful and now is the best time to buy, when it is at it’s freshest. The pristine depths of the North Pacific and the cold water produce great tasting and healthy Omega3-laden fish. How do you know when your salmon is fresh? Push your finger into the flesh - if it springs back relatively quicky, then you have a fresh wild salmon. At Askew’s, we source only the freshest ocean-caught sockeye. Sockeye is one of the firmest salmon, and can often be overcooked. It is best when cooked simply, barbecued or over an open fire, either left whole, fileted, or cut into steaks.

Speed drop pursued RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Speeding vehicles are an ongoing concern in a rural Vernon neighbourhood. The Electoral Area Advisory Committee wants the Ministry of Transportation to reduce the speed limit on Kalamalka Lakeview Drive, by the lookout, from 80 to 50 or 60 kilometres an hour. Some gravel truck operators use the route to avoid the long hill on Highway 97 past the landfill turnoff. “If they don’t like a lower speed, they may go back to the highway,” said director Bob Fleming. “They (ministry) aren’t Bob Fleming maintaining it for industrial traffic.” Director Mike Macnabb insists the safety of residents and cyclists is a concern. “We’re not trying to inhibit gravel production but they should be on the highway,” he said. Rural Enderby planning proceeds Work is moving ahead on rural Enderby’s official community plan review. As part of the process, residents were recently asked about long-term planning for Area F. “We received a lot of great feedback from residents,” said Laura Frank, regional planning projects manager for the Regional District of North Okanagan. “The feedback will be utilized to create new policies and amend the plan.” The new plan should be adopted by Dec. 31. BX-Swan Lake goes online Residents of the BX and Swan Lake areas can go online to stay in touch with their elected officials. Directors Bob Fleming and Mike Macnabb have established a new website at www.bxswanlake.ca. “We want to keep our residents informed. Community involvement is the most important thing we should be focusing on,” said Macnabb. “We are encouraging people to learn about local government.”

Q: A:

Yes- you should use a Mortgage Broker to see what other Lender Options there are available for you! Each Lender has their own internal guidelines for lending mortgage funds and this decision may not even have anything to do with you as the Borrower. There are many reasons to seek a professional Mortgage Broker but it may be a lack of knowledge by the person you are dealing with at your Bank Lender, or it may be a Policy specific to that Lender that they restrict the type of property you wish to buy, or even something as simple as not being able to choose to use a program from one of the other Mortgage Insurer companies in Canada. There are a number of reasons to use one lender over another, and it can be difficult for you to understand all of the details, this is a service that we provide as Mortgage Brokers. We see a lot of differences from one Mortgage Lender to another and will know what the best option will be for you. In the last few years, the Bank of Canada has introduced tighter Mortgage rules and sometimes Lenders interpret the rules differently than other Lenders. We will also give you an alternative Lender option if you are repairing your credit history, Brokers work with all levels of client requests. It is always in your best interest to use a Local Mortgage Broker, their knowledge and Experience will help to move you into your new home and save you time trying to figure it out! E&O/OAC

What is radon & how do I test for it?

Radon is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas that occurs naturally in the earth’s crust. It is a product of the decay of uranium. The radon gas itself is not a problem but its decay products are. These radioactive products can attach themselves to the lung tissue when radon gas is inhaled; this can cause lung cancer. The risk is higher with greater exposure, & the effects are long term rather than immediate. Radon which escapes into the air is not a problem as it is quickly diluted. However, when radon becomes trapped in a home it can rise to levels of concern, especially during the winter months when ventilation is at a minimum. Radon can enter a home through cracks in basement floors and walls, openings around pipes or other penetrations in the basement walls and floors. It can also enter through exposed earth in crawlspaces and basements. There are several ways to test for radon gas. A charcoal canister can be used to absorb radon from the air; there are filtering systems where air is pumped through a filter, trapping radon particles. There are grab-sample testers which allow for a quick air sample. These all require the use of a lab to analyze the samples. There is also a radon detector that is similar to a smoke or CO detector that can measure radon levels. Since radon levels can vary at different times of the day & seasons, longer testing times are better. Winter testing is more reliable than summer testing. If you find that there are high levels of radon in your home there a number of different ways to deal with it. For more information contact me or look on the Health Canada or CMHC websites.

In Part 1 we noted how difficult it can be for someone with hearing aids to hear in a large or noisy place. Hearing loops solve this problem by using a sound source, such as a microphone, TV or stereo connected to a hearing loop amplifier and from there to a wire installed in the ceiling or floor forming a ‘loop’ around the room. This loop creates a field and sound is transmitted directly into the hearing aid’s Telecoil, (T-coil). This eliminates background noise and delivers a clean speech signal to the ear. Not all hearing aids have a T-coil, but some models can be retro-fitted with one and other aids can use a remote control that has a T-coil built in. In many cases, it is a simple procedure to have your T-coils turned on. I spoke with Dave Moore, who has installed thousands of loops in London England and now runs a Vernon based company called Auris Hearing Loops. He designs, supplies and installs loop systems in the Okanagan. Dave says, “The positive response from users is nothing short of phenomenal where we have installed loop systems”. Looped venues include All Saints Church, Vernon Christian Fellowship, Springfield Funeral Home & Bottega Hotel in Kelowna. He hopes to start a program to “Loop The Okanagan”, one venue at a time.

• For dishes, there are packing kits that are made of foam pockets. You slip your individual plates and glassware in so they are well protected. Alternatively, you can use packing paper and wrap each dish separately. • Put lamps and lampshades in individual boxes. Use plenty of paper so they don’t move around in the box. • For mirrors and paintings, use a special mirror box and pack with plenty of paper. You can usually get more than one into a box. • Books should be packed side by side and spine up then next book spine down. That way, they won’t warp. • The more you love your things, the more you should protect them with lots of bubble wrap and then pack them in styrofoam peanuts.

Q: A:

What’s the difference between an assessment, appraisal or current market evaluation?

BC Assessment uses past information on home sales for a benchmark. For the most part this number is random in that no one has come to see your property! THERE IS NO MAGIC FORMULA for determining market value based on assessments! Appraisals are based on thorough research and comparisons of past sales. These are used often in legal matters and are “just the facts, mam.” For buying and selling you need a REALTORS® current market evaluation. We can take into account past sales, but also current trends, changing market and uniqueness and appeal. Bear in mind you can ask whatever you want for your home but even if you find a willing buyer, if the price is inflated, the lenders have no emotional attachment and will base lending on real value!

Tigers win, now wait for finalist Morning Star Staff

The undefeated Vernon Source for Sports Tigers are sitting on the couch or the beach and relaxing, while the Kamloops Venom and the South Okanagan Flames slug it out in the other Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League semifinal series. The Tigers swept the Armstrong Shamrocks 3-0 with a 17-4 victory Saturday night at Kal Tire Place. They now wait for an opponent in the league finals. “Everything is going as planned,” said Tigers’ head coach Chris Scabar. “We wanted to get through Armstrong and have the other series go five games so they can beat each other up a bit more.” The Venom forced Game 5 with a 14-8 trimming of the Flames Monday night at Memorial Arena in Kamloops. Kyle Pauwels carried the Snakes with five goals. Game 5 went Tuesday night at Memorial Arena in Kelowna. The Tigers scored three times in the first 6:11. Darrell Landels scored his first of two at 2:38 while the Rocks were trying to enjoy a five-on-three advantage. The Shamrocks went 0-for-5 on the man advantage. The Tigers won each game by 13 goals, outscoring the Shamrocks 56-17. The Tigers commanded a 7-1 lead after the first. Kyle Cuzzeto of the Tigers scored at 10:45 of the second to make it 10-2. Following the goal, he and Kaden Sagh of the Shamrocks got into a lively scrap that saw both players land a number of haymakers. The fight ended with Cuzzetto wrestling Sagh to the ground. Once the players dusted themselves off and picked up their equipment, the Tigers pulled starting goalie Aaron Jensen and replaced him with Darnell Hauca. Jensen made 19 saves on 21 shots. Hauca finished the night with the exact same stats as Jensen. The Cats outshot the Rocks 69-42. Ryan Sarazin sniped four goals, including a shorty in the second, and was selected first star. Hauca was named second star and their captain Braden Barr was held off the scoresheet but was the third star. “Braden does so much for us. He is an extension of the coaching staff on the floor,” said Scabar. “He motivates the team and is great on defence. I’ve really enjoyed my time with him this year.” Quintin Harrish poured in three goals for the Tigers, as Ethan Anderson and Thomas Landels sniped two goals. Singles came from Jay Seaton, Liam MacPhee and Tre Mason.

The Shamrocks yanked Cole MacFarlane after the second period. He made 33 saves on 47 shots. Kalvin Dayvduke gave up three goals on 22 shots. “I would have liked to see us do a little bit more, but all in all, we worked hard and went up against a strong opponent,” said Shamrocks’ assistant coach Chad Pieper. Blake Luttmerding scored his first two goals of the season for the Shamrocks and was matched by their sniper Joel Castle with a pair. “We had a lot of rookies and guys who haven’t played box lacrosse in a while, but I saw steady improvement from our

guys and they didn’t quit,” said Pieper. Colton DeBoer, Todd Hoggarth, Austin Williamson, Tyson Fair, MacFarlane and Castle are graduating from the junior program and their assistant coach is looking forward to playing alongside them with the senior Shamrocks one day. The Tigers will practise once leading up to the TOJLL final, as they want to refresh so they can attack a worn down team in the opening faceoff. The Tigers will host Game 1 of the best-of-five final Friday, 7:15 p.m. at Kal Tire Place. The game time has been adjusted due to the Bantam A2 provincials at Kal Tire Place.

Paige Latta supplied the snipe as United outchanced Kelowna in a 1-1 draw, while Racine nailed a 25-yard corker up and over the keeper with four minutes remaining, as United drew 1-1 with North Vancouver. Danika Roy, with a deuce, Evangeline Koshure and Maja Splawinski handled the Tolko attack in a 4-1 win over Nelson. The Marpole Phoenix of Vancouver dispatched Kelowna 3-1 in the gold-medal tilt. Kelowna advanced to the final

with a better goal differential than Vernon. Marpole has won gold in their last three age-groups. United was coached by Al Gee, Ley Christensen and Rick Latta. They won the Bellingham Blast tournament a few weeks earlier. “Overall, we had a great tournament and season, and we are extremely proud of all the girls,” said Gee. “Our sights were set on the gold-medal game and we came within one goal of realizing that.

McDavid set for Penticton Black Press Sports

Connor McDavid is the big draw for the 2015 Young Stars Classic in Penticton. The Edmonton Oilers’ first overall pick from the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, dubbed a generational talent, is a big reason tickets are selling fast for the hockey tournament starting Sept. 11. Cyber Club members have taken advantage of their pre-sale privilege to score tickets, while 40 people were in front of the doors of the South Okanagan Events Centre last Friday morning to make sure they can watch McDavid and company. “Connor McDavid is the draw this year. Absolutely,” said Vancouver Canucks fan Dave Ashton. “To see a person of that calibre. I’m a hockey fan, always have been. It’s pretty exciting.” Carla Seddon, director of marketing for Spectra Venue Management, said the crowd is the best they have seen. “The demand for the tickets has definitely been the highest that we’ve had since we started the tournament in 2010,” said Seddon. “We’re excited. There is a lot of talent coming here. It’s going to be a great tournament this year.” The tournament will showcase prospects from the Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, Oilers and Winnipeg Jets. Over the past four Young Star Classics, more than 80 players have gone on to play NHL games. Tickets are available online at www.valleyfirsttix. com, by phone at 1-877-763-2849, or in person at the Valley First Box Office at the SOEC.

Vernon United keeper Chase Petruk (centre) watches this deflection by Kootenay South Storm forward Matthew Liszt. Watching are Vernon defenders Shey Townley (left) and Joshua Gray. United lost 3-1 in the B.C. B Challenge Cup bronze-medal final Sunday at Kings Park.

Under 17s fall to Kootenay Continued from A25

“The moment that really stands out for me was our resiliency, from an emotional low Saturday night when we found out we were not going to the final, to coming out Sunday guns blazing. That’s the type of girls that play for us, and the type of team that I’m extremely proud to be associated with. We are a team in the true sense of the word, players, coaches, managers, and parents.” Striker Jairaj Sidhu used her wheels for numerous strikes in the bronze-medal tilt. The Tolko Vernon United U17 boys lost 3-1 to the Kootenay South Storm in the Challenge Cup bronze-medal final Sunday at Kings Park in Penticton. Vernon finished second in their group after round-robin play, finishing just behind Surrey CCB Elite, the eventual

provincial champions. United were without their regular keeper David Weir and Mika de Vin so Chase Petruk stepped up and performed admirably in net. Vernon’s Elias Jensen unleashed a 30-yard screamer that would have been a sure goal had a Kootenay defender not been in the way. “It was a missile,” said Tolko assistant coach Rolf Hirschkorn. “Their defender was just in the right place at the right time.” Both sides traded chances, but it was the Storm who opened the scoring and followed up with a second quickly. “It was disheartening for the boys,” said Tolko United head coach Erick Burnet. “Our younger boys were technically the better side, but the size and height of the older boys wore them down.”

Kootenay scored once again in the second half before United responded in the 70th minute. Jensen crossed a ball into the 18-yard area where Scott Coulthard flicked the ball on to Mees Geelkerken, who went low from the six. Vernon dominated play from then on and had several chances to score again. James Huntington rattled a header off the crossbar and various players had other chances. “Overall the tournament and season was a great success,” said Burnet. “The majority of the boys have played up one to two years in age group and they did an awesome job. Next year we’re going for gold.” Peter Hirschkorn and Wyatt Carter were noted for their physical and strong play on defence.

picked up seven strikeouts and surrendered three earned runs. Emmons finished 5-5 with a 1.96 ERA and 126 strikeouts. Ethan Huizinga smacked an RBI double and a single in four trips to the plate. He led the Canadians with a .324 average and a .440 on base percentage. Tyler Liefke continues to be a speed demon on the base paths since returning from his foot injury. Liefke went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles and stolen bases and scored one run. He finished with 22 stolen bases in 11 games with a .344 average.

Kadyn Thomas was 1-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base. “We came out flat in the first game, it seems as though when Dylan is pitching the boys go into autopilot and assume he will strike everyone out,” said Canadians’ coach Ken Liefke. The Spurs clipped the Canadians 3-2 in extra innings in Game 2. The Spurs finished the year 10th at 18-24. Brayden Damini pitched 7.2 innings with six punchouts and he allowed three earned runs.

League rules Shamrocks first TYLER LOWEY

Morning Star Staff

The Armstrong Shamrocks went to bed thinking that their nail-biting loss to the Kelowna Raiders cost them the Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League season title. When they woke the next day, a league ruling awarded them the Rowcliffe Cup and home court in the playoffs. The Shamrocks lost 10-9 to the Raiders in the regular season finale Friday night at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Shamrocks finished tied for first with the Raiders at 7-3, but sat in second because of their head-to-head record. On Saturday morning, the Shamrocks filed a protest about the Raiders playing with an illegal player. The TOSLL commissioner Elinor Hinds ruled in favour of stripping the Raiders of their last four victories for dressing an illegal player. Evan Helgeson did not hold a valid

B.C. Lacrosse Association certified card. Hinds’ review ruled that the player was uncarded and not eligible to play in the last four regular-season games that he appeared in, all victories. The Raiders were also fined $200 and Helgeson is suspended from the playoffs and provincials. The Shamrocks improved to 9-1, claimed the No. 1 seed in the best-of-three Shaw Cup playoffs and home floor. Game 1 goes Wednesday. The Raiders are tied with the Kamloops Rattlers at 3-7. The Rattlers (1-9) officially backed out of the playoffs because they don’t have enough players. Before the legal system took over, the Raiders opened the scoring on a goal by Brendan Urban, but Carston Schlaak split the Raiders’ defence and tied the game. Jarret Medhurst sniped a low shot for the Shamrocks. Ryan Phillips and Helgeson scored for the Raiders on the powerplay to regain the lead. Shamrock defensive specialist Bayne Bosquet scored

on a breakaway to tie it 3-3 after 20. “Our intensity was great, our offense and defense played fantastic but we had a lot of trouble scoring on the powerplay and against Kelowna we have to capitalize on our chances” said Shamrocks’ coach Ryan Nitchie. The Shamrocks rallied in the middle of the second period rattling off three unanswered goals by Medhurst, Schlaak and Braidy Webb. Shamrock call-up Tyson Fair scored his first senior lacrosse goal, sniping a shot to make it 7-4. Penalty trouble late in the second period allowed the Raiders to climb back into the game. They scored seven of their 10 goals on the man advantage. Urban scored each period to pull the hat trick for the Raiders. Helgeson sniped another goal in the third, while Joe Brown, Pho Heng, Jordan Urban, Ryan Phillips and Victor Weins added singles. Craig Bigsby and Webb each sniped one goal in the third period for the Rocks.

An injured Baker, who was forced to do his penance for the missed opportunities in the first half by playing goal for the first time since U10, made a great save by tipping a hard Cantina shot over the bar. Cantinas cut the lead in half on a welltaken header off the ensuing corner. The Stars were forced to hang on for the last 15 minutes after they were reduced to 10 men when Everton supporter Steve McCourt earned a red card for attempting to educate the referee on the finer points of English Premier League soccer. Silver Star grabbed seventh place, while Sunshine Pools took eighth by smothering Turn-Key Ogopogos 8-0 at Beasley Park. Sunshine and Turn-Key each have 16

points, but Turn-Key is relegated to the B side for the rest of the season since the Pool guys beat them in their only meeting. Mike Bertoia and Loic Jaquet each supplied two goals for Sunshine (5-6-1), who got singles from Roberto Norori, Chiang Lee, Brett Foster and Brian Saunders. Chris Turbitt recorded the shutout. Dan Ondzik started as the Pogo keeper, getting relief help from Parm Kler and Dave Hampton. North Country Appraisals Kickers shut down Bosman Accounting of Vernon 4-0 at Marshall #1 to finish third in the A side. First-place Penticton United won a 1-0 forfeit over the shorthanded Okanagan Spring Brewery Camels.

The Vernon Silver Stars shaded Kelowna Cantinas 2-1 in Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League play Monday night at Marshall Field #5. Despite some clear chances from the Stars’ lone striker Gary Baker, the first half ended scoreless with roadrunner Mike Clarke earning the first-half shutout for the Stars as he took a turn in net for the first time in years. The Stars (5-5-2) finally cashed in when Dave Howes hammered a shot off the crossbar and in from 25 yards out early in the second half. Brian Eso made it 2-0 with a blistering cross which handcuffed the keeper and found the back of the net.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder DO NOT FALL ASLEEP AT THE SWITCH Victor Hugo said, “Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace.” After an evening bridge session, maybe you find it hard to go to sleep because your brain is still so active. But have patience, and slumber will eventually come. In today’s deal, patience is the key word. South is in four spades. How can the defenders defeat the contract after West leads his singleton heart two? North responded with a splinter bid. He showed at least four-card spade support and game-going

values with a singleton (or void) in diamonds. (If you do not employ splinters, North should respond two notrump, the Jacoby Forcing Raise, and South would rebid four spades to indicate a minimum balanced hand.) East knows that his partner has led a singleton. So the impatient would win trick one and return a heart, presumably the suitpreference three to ask for a club return. West would ruff and shift to a low club, but South would win with dummy’s king and lead a trump. East would zoom in with his ace and play another heart, but declarer would ruff high, draw the missing trump, and claim 10 tricks: four spades, one heart, two diamonds, two clubs and a diamond ruff in

the dummy. Since West cannot have more than two trumps, East must shift to his singleton club at trick two. Then he wins the first trump and leads his heart three. West ruffs and returns the compliment by giving his partner a club ruff for down one.
