Stickle plan drives disgust
Morning Star Staff
The cause of a potentially volatile fire in the BX will never be known. A wildfire was reported on Tillicum Road at about 6 p.m. Tuesday and authorities spent part of Wednesday trying to determine the source. “Everything was destroyed at the point of origin but it wasn’t lightning caused,” said Bill Wacey, BX-Swan Lake fire chief. “Whether it was deliberate or accidental, the cause will go down as undetermined.” The BX-Swan Lake Fire Department and B.C. Wildfire Service responded quickly Tuesday because of dry conditions. “It was smoking pretty good,” said Wacey. “It was up to about a hectare in size and we had to action it from two different roads (Tillicum and Dixon Dam). “It was pretty treacherous terrain. There are 20 and 30-foot drops off cliffs.” Wildfire service tankers dropped retardant and helicopters bucketed water on to the fire. “It’s always great when you hear the tankers,” said Wacey. By 9:30 p.m., a blanket of retardant allowed crews to get the upper hand on the fire and BX-Swan Lake firefighters kept an eye on flareups overnight. “We dodged a bullet again in the Silver Star corridor,” said Wacey, adding that conditions could have been far worse if the winds picked up. “Our crew and the forestry crew did a fantastic job.”

Political opposition continues to grow over plans for a dangerous intersection. Ministry of Transportation representatives presented their concept for Stickle Road and Highway 97 to the Regional District of North Okanagan board Wednesday. “This presentation insulted my intelligence and the intelligence of everyone,” said director Akbal Mund. “They say lowering the speed is dangerous but according to ICBC and the RCMP, lowering the speed is safer.” 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 turnaround access for the Silver Star RV Park area and the ministry would eliminate highway crossmovements and left-hand turns from the RV park. There would also be new acceleration lanes leaving Stickle Road and existing deceleration lanes entering Stickle Road from the highway would be lengthened. “The ministry has not listened to our concerns,” said director Mike Macnabb, who wants a traffic signal and the highway speed limit reduced. “The reality is that you can put a speed limit there. I drove through Falkland and Westwold and the speed limit is lowered, and there are traffic signals across the province.” Director Scott Anderson also questions why a traffic signal won’t be installed. “We ask for something and it’s kind of getting ignored,” he said. However, while some politicians are upset with the ministry, the director for the Swan Lake corridor says the proposal addresses current issues. “At some point you call it a day and say, ‘What are you willing to do?’ This is what they are willing to do,” said Bob Fleming. “This is a huge improvement over the previous proposal (no left-turns).” Ministry officials insist that an “artificially” low speed zone on highways results in aggressive driving, and traffic signals impede the flow of traffic and leads to rear-end crashes. “We’re not against signals but it’s putting them in at the appropriate place,” said Shawn Grant, a ministry regional manager. Grant also says that a light can lead to long lines of vehicles backing up. “Signals act like a lightning rod. You draw more traffic and the queues get longer and the delays get longer. Signals occur in more urban environments. It’s out of character on that highway.” The Ministry of Transportation will hold a public open house on its Stickle Road proposal July 29 from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Prestige Hotel

Falkland fire fuels local anxiety JENNIFER SMITH
Morning Star Staff
As smoke billows over Falkland, putting residents on edge, crews are working overtime to battle the stubborn blaze. The Bolean Lake fire, which was lightning-caused, is actually made up of two fires: an approximately 183-hectare blaze close to Chase Falkland Road and a 165-hectare on the plateau closer to Bolean Lake. It is burning just five kilometres northwest of Falkland and 22 kilometres southwest of Salmon Arm. “What you see is only part of what we’re dealing with,” said Derek Williams, incident commander with B.C. Wildfire Service. The evacuation order for Bolean Lake Lodge remains in effect, as well as an evacuation alert for 24 properties. “The good news is that the lodge that is in the area is not threatened at this time,” said fire information officer Navi Saini. Structural Protection Units are on scene but not yet needed for the Bolean Lake blaze. Still, with the memory of the 2003 Whispering Pines wildfire devastation, residents are concerned. Therefore a community meeting is taking place at the Falkland Community Hall at 7 p.m. tonight “Some people are a little scared,” said Falkland Fire Department dep-

the evacuation alert have been moving horses and cattle just as a precautionary measure.” Falkland director Rene Talbot says the biggest issue is not knowing. “Some of the flames were 300, 400, 500 feet in the air and that’s
what really worries people when they see that, because they don’t know,” said Talbot. “People are a little worried and some of them are seniors and they don’t move very quick.” Winds have proven difficult for crews and air support, as well as the
Crews continue to battle Westside blaze Morning Star Staff
There was minimal growth to the Shelter Cove wildfire Thursday due to the efforts of B.C. Wildfire Service personnel and local firefighters. The Westside Road blaze was estimated at 460 hectares in size Thursday afternoon. “While fire behaviour was a smouldering ground fire for most of (Wednesday), crews
did experience an increase in activity along the southern flank of the fire throughout the afternoon. This came as a result of higher temperatures and north-westerly winds pushing growth to the south,” said Melissa Klassen, fire information officer, in a press release. “Air tankers responded to slow the rate of spread along the southern portion of the fire, where fire activity included open flame and
some trees candling. Three helicopters also assisted ground crews in this region, bucketing pockets of active fire.” More than 60 firefighters, including from the North Westside department, are assigned to this incident, along with one piece of heavy equipment and three water tenders.

steep terrain. But crews have tirelessly been battling the fire since Monday morning, with a peak of 50 firefighters on scene Tuesday. “That’s one level of the commitment we have invested in this lower portion of the fire,” said Williams. “It’s also a reflection of how we are trying to prioritize our resources and get the right amount of staff with everything else that is going on.” In the Kamloops Fire Centre there have been more than 50 new fires sparked since Sunday evening, 43 of those caused by lightning. “It seems every hour or so we are getting more interface fire,” said Saini. “Our initial attack crews are super busy right now.” Hot and dry weather conditions have once again elevated the fire danger rating throughout the Kamloops Fire Centre and many areas are currently experiencing high to extreme ratings. This danger rating is expected to increase significantly over the next few days as the drying trend continues. “These fires serve as a reminder that as lightning activity within the region increases, extra caution is needed to prevent person-caused wildfires,” said Kelsey Winter, fire information officer, as personcaused fires divert critical resources away from fires such as this.

RDNO ready for emergency RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
With wildfires burning all around, the Regional District of North Okanagan isn’t taking any chances. In case chairperson Rick Fairbairn is unavailable, vice-chairperson Kevin Acton and director Bob Fleming have been given the authority to declare a state of emergency in the five electoral areas. “We’re hoping that all of the preparations are unnecessary and nothing happens,” said David Sewell, chief administrative officer. David Sewell While major fires have broken out in neighbouring regional districts, the only recent one within RDNO was a blaze on Tillicum Road Tuesday. It was quickly brought under control by the BX-Swan Lake Fire Department and the B.C. Wildfire Service. Because of ongoing dry conditions and the possibility of fires, RDNO has updated its website on any blazes locally and within adjacent regional districts. “We want people to find that information easily,” said Rob Smailes, planning and building general manager. “We will try to keep it as live as we can if events occur.” For information, go to www.rdno.ca/index.php/ news/announcements/local-wildfire-information.

Lumby area residents are being warned not to ignore the burning ban. Firefighters were called to a rural property Wednesday where a resident was burning wood in a barrel. “He said he didn’t know about it (ban) but is there anyone in the province who doesn’t know about it?” said Tony Clayton, fire chief. Because of the ongoing fire risk, open burning is prohibited in all jurisdictions, including the Village of Lumby and the Regional District of North Okanagan. Signs at both highway entrances to the village notify motorists of the ban. The burning barrel was 30 feet away from trees. “One bit of breeze blowing a spark and we would have had a major situation,” said Clayton. The resident was handed a $345 fine for the burning barrel. Clayton insists that residents must do their part to prevent fires. “Things are pretty dry. Walk through the grass and it’s pretty crunchy,” he said. “Be aware of your surroundings and don’t do anything that causes a fire.”

The regulatory process for a new arena in Greater Vernon is moving ahead. Regional District of North Okanagan directors gave three readings to several bylaws Wednesday that sets the stage for a fall referendum on a new ice sheet at Kal Tire Place. “The goal has been to twin the surface,” said director Juliette Cunningham. “We still have the same level of commitment from the partners.” Cunningham All of the bylaws have now been sent off to the Ministry of Community Development for approval. “We expect to have the process proceed,” said Cunningham. RDNO had hoped to hold a borrowing referendum in November 2014 but the provincial government blocked that process because Kal Tire Place is owned by the City of Vernon. To satisfy ministry guidelines, the new strategy is for the regional district to borrow $13 million and own the new ice sheet. A long-term lease would place it in the hands of the city. If a referendum is successful, the new ice sheet would replace the 78-year-old Civic Arena.

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A senior New Democrat insists the party can sweep to victory in OkanaganShuswap. Murray Rankin, a Victoria MP and the NDP’s health critic, made a stop in Vernon Tuesday. “I bring encouragement and excitement,” he said during an interview. “The NDP are leading in the last nine polls and people are looking to us for the change they want. People are so tired of Stephen Harper. People who are longtime Conservatives are saying, ‘He is turning the country into something we don’t recognize.’” For Rankin, an important issue heading into this fall’s election is the economy and he believes the Conservative govern-
party members must spread the word to voters. “We can actually win in this riding and we can change this government. We are going to form the next government.”

I
Back to the wild
t has been a number of years since I dipped my paddle in some of the remote lakes of Ontario and B.C. As a youth and young adult, I made numerous trips in the family canoe to places such as Algonquin, Bon Echo and Killarney provincial parks in Ontario. I loved traversing those waters and hearing the call of the common Loon lording over his watery abode with that wavering tremelo. It still reverberates within me. The person who accompanied me on many of these trip is no longer with us, but his spirit lives on. Kristin Froneman The wilderness is what attracted my father, who grew up in South Africa, to this nation. While living in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, he always found a way to escape the city to go on numerous paddling and fishing trips with the “boys.” And when his two daughters, myself included, were old enough, we went along with him and my mom. The planning for these excursions was extensive. My dad’s army training served us well in organizing what to take. What you packed had to not only fit into the confines of a backpack – no more than 50 pounds worth of gear – nothing could be left behind. What you took into the bush had to come out with you. Everything had to be waterproofed in dry sacs for the unenviable dunking. It turns out canoes do tip, even in still water. As we were “tough” paddlers, we carried everything on our shoulders and backs during the long portages between lakes and rivers. No wheeled trolleys for my dad. He always carried the canoe. The rest of us were in charge of the backpacks and paddles. Sometimes it took two
AT RANDOM
trips. Before every trip, we would head to Mountain Equipment Co-op to source out those gourmet vacuum-sealed satchels of dehydrated foods. They may have looked and tasted as if they came from outer space, but after a 12-hour day of paddling, you’d eat just about anything. Dad would also make his own curry powders to spice things up a little. You’d think a three-alarm chili would scare off the bears. Think again. On one memorable trip, my family encountered a hungry ursine sniffing around our site. Luckily, the bags were tied high up into a tree. My close encounter with wildlife came while using the “facilities” on a small island campsite in Algonquin, I heard something moving in the bush about 10 metres away. The bull moose noticed me before I could compute what I was seeing, and ran off as quickly as the small yelp escaped from my mouth. Those are the risks you take when visiting their territory. Respect for the wild helps you survive. Also unpredictable is the weather. Paddling can sometimes be a slog when the wind blows against you. The ocean-like waves we encountered while on the return to land on the Bowron Lakes in 2007 turned my stern’s J-stroke into a rudder just to stay upright. That would be the last paddling trip my dad would ever make. His knees just couldn’t take the strain of sitting for long periods anymore. We have many memories to sustain us. Next week, my family and I return to the area that sparked my dad’s love for paddling. As we say goodbye along with his family and friends in Toronto, we will also head north to the lapping shores of Algonquin, where he will be laid to rest. The call of the loon will follow us for time eternal.
Communities often take firefighters, like all emergency personnel, for granted. But the last few days have demonstrated that we shouldn’t. North Westside Road firefighters have been tackling the stubborn Shelter Cove blaze, along with colleagues from the B.C. Wildfire Service and other departments. Wildfire Service crews have also been hammering the Bolean Lake blaze from the ground and the air, while the department in Falkland is also involved. Amazing work by the BX-Swan Lake Fire Department Tuesday ensured a fire on Tillicum Road didn’t become another ongoing headline, while Lumby firefighters jumped into action Wednesday to make sure residents are aware of the ongoing burning ban. The Okanagan Indian Band department recently doused a blaze near Round Lake and crews in Vernon, Coldstream, Lavington, Lake Country, Enderby, Silver Star and Armstrong-Spallumcheen have also been vigilant. The bottom line is that if it wasn’t for the teamwork demonstrated by all firefighters, our region could be facing a major disaster during a summer of extremely dry conditions. Whether firefighting is a fulltime activity or pursued on a volunteer basis, it doesn’t matter. All of them are professional and should be treated that way. If you are passing by a fire hall or see firefighters out on the street, stop for a moment and say thank you. If you are driving by a truck, give a honk and a wave. The firefighters of the North Okanagan are always here for us, whether it’s a raging wildfire, a burning house or a car accident, and they need to know that we stand with them.

Proud Enderby residents
W
e are new residents of Enderby. Our son recently moved his family of five to Canoe for a better life and so we can spend time together. On July 5, my son and his father finally got a chance to go fishing. Right after unloading their truck, my son discovered that he had lost his wallet in town. Because they were out of range for cell service, they quickly packed everything back up and returned to Enderby. Unfortunately, my son was not able to locate his wallet so they returned home. This was really devastating for my son, as he has been through really, terribly tough times in the last two years. He is completely broke and, in addition to having to replace all of his identification (which he really couldn't afford to do), he was also told by ICBC that he couldn't get a replacement driver's license until he paid
NO LIGHT NEEDED I wish that members of Vernon city council would stop stating that we need a stop light at the intersection of Highway 97 and Stickle Road. The last thing that the highway needs is more stop lights. The Ministry of Transportation is absolutely correct in its conclusion that a signal would negatively impact safety and result in delays and traffic cues. Coun. Catherine Lord points to Kelowna as an example of why there should be a stop light at the intersection. Kelowna and West Kelowna have installed so many stop lights that driving through the two cities has become a stop-and-go nightmare. This is the model that Coun. Lord would use for Vernon? It's faster and less frustrating to drive through Kamloops then to sit at all of the stop lights in Kelowna and West Kelowna. Adding a stop light to the highway after all of the work done in recent years to improve traffic flow
all his charges from using the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges on the coast before he moved. He is unemployed and was just about to start a retraining program as a driver, so he
would be the wrong approach. It would only frustrate more drivers and divert them to the narrow and winding Old Kamloops Road. There are very few businesses in this area. If this intersection is so vital and council expects heavy development in this area, then do it properly and install an overpass linking a service road parallel to the highway. This would allow business access without restricting traffic flow. If West Kelowna had taken this approach, maybe we wouldn't be driving through Kamloops instead. J. Kroeker CAMPFIRE BANS Just a comment on the three fires attended by the Vernon Fire Department while the ban is in effect. I find it so disgusting that three people had fires active while the ban is in effect and the Vernon Fire Department attended and no one was taken to task for their

deeds, ie. having a fire during the ban. Instead, it seems excuses were made for their actions in as much as maybe they were not aware of the ban because they may not listen or watch the media. OK, so if I use my cell phone while driving and I say I am not aware of the rules when stopped by the RCMP, do you really think I will just get off with a warning? I doubt it. How about going through a school zone at 50 kilometres an hour instead of 30 kilometres and I say, "I did not see the sign." Will the RCMP buy that? I doubt it. I can only feel that no one is serious about the ban. D. Young DOCTORS I was just watching Global Okanagan news and there was a story about the shortage of physicians in the Kamloops area. Judy D'Arcy, of the provincial NDP caucus, along with NDP leader John Horgan, made some very valid points about the 250,000
The message was from the Vernon RCMP advising that his wallet had been turned in that same day. You cannot imagine how relieved he was to get this news. He went to Vernon to pick up his wallet and found inside, to his amazement, that all of his items were still there, as well as a $10 bill that had not been there before. We figured that whoever found his wallet in Enderby was on their way to Vernon, so just dropped it off there since the Enderby RCMP was closed on Sunday. This message is just to thank the person who turned in his wallet. It's the best thing that's happened to my son in two years (besides the birth of his baby girl 10 months ago). It just proves what a wonderful community we live in. I'm so glad we moved here. Pauline Kubiny
residents of B.C. who cannot get the services of a general practitioner and the need for a medical team with nurses involved in the medical treatment to a greater extent than what is now being delivered. Additionally, Kelly Stalker, of Falkland, made an eloquent argument regarding her needs, and those of her family, which are not easily accessible in her area. As a recent arrival in Vernon (last year), we have been lucky enough to find a physician, but that is not the case for so many in a province where the Liberal Party assured residents that all B.C. residents would have their own physicians by 2015. Anybody who has had to call hospital switchboards in Kamloops, Vernon, Kelowna or Penticton and been told that no doctors are accepting new patients must find the assurance of the Liberals empty promises as they stand in line for hours at walk-in clinics waiting to see a doctor, with a crying child in their arms.

That’s why they (Indians) went to war — for the crown. When John McCrae was writing In Flanders Field, Punjabis were in
that sector.” The graves of 10,000 Indian soldiers are in the cemeteries across western Europe. “More Indians died than from any other Commonwealth country in the First World War,” said Purewall. “They were standing side by side with Canadians.” Purewall was inspired to put the exhibit together after one of his children learned about the war

Board issues drought alert Residents are urged to prevent a provincial declaration of level four drought in the region. The Okanagan Valley is currently at level three drought conditions while the south coast and southern Vancouver Island are level four. “We’re appealing to the public to observe the province of B.C.’s request for a 30 per cent reduction in water use,” said Anna Warwick Sears, Okanagan Basin Water Board executive director. For residential users to conserve 30 per cent, that can be achieved by moving to twodays a week watering. “The year began with a low Warwick Sears snowpack, and then an early spring melt, and then our June ‘monsoon season’ never came,” said Warwick Sears. “Now, with low stream flows and warm water temperatures we are hearing of fish kills. We are also seeing the effects of dry conditions with an upsetting number of fires.” At level three drought, the provincial government requests local governments and water utilities eliminate filling of public fountains and watering of public parks, gardens, medians, and other similar areas. If the province declares a level four, they will start cutting off water licensees. “By all of us doing our part and voluntarily reducing our water use now, we can reduce the risk of mandatory reductions in our valley,” said Warwick Sears.

Enderby’s heritage is being made a priority. Council has amended a policy so preference is given to heritage names when deciding names for new roads and they will be based on a specific list. “Instead of some bird names, we hope developers will consider people who were part of our history,” said Mayor Greg McCune. “There are a lot of people who influenced the commuGreg McCune nity.” Previously, the policy stated that a preference be given to heritage names when selecting names for new streets. However, the heritage commission recommended that a formal list of names compiled by the Enderby Museum in 1996 should help guide developers on road names. “By including the list of suggested road names as a reference document, it will help to ensure that street names with heritage value are duly considered by developers while at the same time providing a level of flexibility for developers to name streets within their developments as they see fit,” said Kurt Inglis, planning assistant, in a report to council.

encouraged to continue to donate their no longer needed soccer gear by placing it in the bin provided at the indoor facility,” said Shelley Zupp, with Jerseys from Africa. Other sponsors include Vernon Mini Storage, Elephant Storage, Instant Replay Sports, the Rutland Soccer Association and the former Goplen Drillers Soccer Team. Zupp and her family started Jerseys for Africa in 2008 and it has now expanded around the world. To date, more than 2,600 jerseys and hundreds of soccer balls, shorts and cleats have been sent to Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Tanzania, Ghana, Haiti, El Salvador, Peru, Bali, Thailand, Ecuador, Guatemala and five regions in Mexico. Through donations from the Vernon Soccer Association and North Okanagan Youth Soccer Association, gear has been supplied for about five years to Zimbabwe, through the Zimbabwe Project. In May, Peter Maguwu, from Zimbabwe, visited the Okanagan. “Peter was here to educate and spread the word about how all of the projects developed by the Zimbabwe Project are helping impoverished Zimbabwean communities,” said Zupp. Jerseys from Africa relies on individuals to personally deliver the soccer kits to the benefitting countries. “If you are planning a trip, consider bringing a soccer kit or two with you,” said Zupp. For more information, go to jerseysforafrica. blogspot.ca.

Summer fans of Silver Star Mountain Resort’s bike and hiking trails can now buy tickets intown before heading up the mountain. Silver Star has teamed up with London Drugs to sell bike park and hiking trail tickets, and Silver Star gift cards, at the drugstore in the Vernon Square mall. “This is part of us being involved with local brands within the community,” said Jim Larsen, Vernon London Drugs manager. “We’ve struck up a deal with Silver Star to sell their summer season tickets and we’ll see how things go.” For the Star, it was a chance to give their customers a central location to purchase gifts and tickets. “It saves our customers in town, who want to buy a gift, from coming up the mountain,” said Tanis Black, Silver Star’s sales manager. “This allows them to go in and purchase a gift card, or lift tickets and hiking trail tickets, at a convenient location in the city.” Silver Star’s bike park is open via the Comet chairlift seven days a week until Sept. 7 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with extended play every Wednesday and Friday night until 7:30 p.m. Bonus ride weekends will take place on Sept. 12 and 13, and Sept. 19 and 20. Hikers can enjoy trails Friday, Saturday and Sunday with the Summit Chair running from noon to 4 p.m. Guests can also use the Comet chairlift on all other days, but please note the Comet is one-way only and hikers must hike back to the village from the top of the mountain.

Perhaps you’ve seen him at your local farmer’s market. Dean Dack, “the compost guy,” might be considered one of your garden’s best friends, helping create healthy, WaterWise landscapes in the Okanagan. According to Dack, of Classic Compost, good soil, containing lots of compost, is the key to growing healthy plants; plants which
need less water as a result. He is passionate about growing healthy lawns and plants and about conserving the valley’s precious water resource at the same time. “People call me up to
tell me about the threepound tomatoes they grew with the help of my compost,” he says enthusiastically. “This is a very satisfying job,” he adds with a grin. As he explains it, there are already nutrients in soil, but they

are “locked up until a microbe digests it and processes it. “Those soil citizens eat the carbon and organic matter and then they poop, burp and fart in the soil, and in the process create nutrients that plants can use,” he explains with a mischievous smile. “You’d need a microscope to see all the critters, but there are lots of minerals and nutrients in compost,” he adds. Dack advises lawns should be top dressed with fine compost that isn’t high in nitrogen, like synthetic lawn fertilizers are. “Proper compost feeds the microbes in the soil,” he says, and helps the lawn retain moisture so it needs to be watered less often. Besides, he says, an over-watered lawn gets lazy. It doesn’t grow deep roots, so all the roots tend to be on the surface of the soil where they quickly dry out in the Okanagan’s hot summer sun. Instead, you should water more deeply, but less often, to encourage the lawn’s roots to grow deep, where they are less vulnerable to the summer’s heat. That said, he adds, it’s important to know what kind of soil your lawn is grown in. If it’s sand, water will just leach right through,
and if it’s clay, it will stay too wet, so a combination of sand, clay and compost is ideal. Adding a compost mulch to lawns and around plants also helps to conserve moisture and prevent evaporation in the heat of summer, helping reduce heat stress on plants and keeping them healthier and less susceptible to insects and disease. “We should be feeding the soil, instead of fertilizing plants,” he explains, adding, “If the plants are healthy there’s less disease and they require less water.” O ver-fertilizing lawns is also an issue, says Dack. “If you put on too much fertilizer, it’s like putting your lawn on steroids and thatch builds up. It’s hydrophobic so water can’t get through to the root zone of grasses,” he explains. “People need to be educated about soils and how important it is to be water conscious,” he says. Communities should also have landscape and irrigation standards and enforcement of them. Holding up a handful of rich, dark composted soil, he says, “We have the whole world in our hands and we have to look after it.”

Shamrocks drop Shaw Cup opener Morning Star Staff
After shutting out the Armstrong Shamrocks for nearly half the game, the Kelowna Raiders are one win away from their fifth straight Shaw Cup. The Raiders shook the Shamrocks 7-4 in Game 1 of the best-of-three Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League championship Wednesday night at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Urban brothers, Jordan and Brendan, caused fits for the Shamrocks’ defenders. Jordan connected on a powerplay 8:10 into the first period. “Armstrong always plays hard here, they’re always going to give you a good run for your money. If you play them hard, it gives you a chance to win,” said Jordan, who was the first star with 2+1. His younger brother finished with 1+2. The Shamrocks were held off the Jumbotron until Andrew Schwab scored unassisted 13:45 into the second and got the crowd of more than 250 back into the game. “It wasn’t so much what their defenders were doing to us, but more what we weren’t doing on offence,” said Shamrocks’ coach Pat Nelson. “We weren’t agressive and we had too many perimeter shots.” Raiders’ netminder Graham Cousins made 32 saves and was the second star. “He was phenomenal. It felt like they had a lot of good shots, especially in the first period, and he just stood on his head and kept us in it,” said Jordan. “He gave us a chance to gain some momentum, build up a lead and carry it out for the rest of the game.”
The Shamrocks scored two more goals in the next 3:18, from Jamie Cockerill and Steve Clark. Tempers flared after Jordan Urban sniped his second with 35 remaining in the second period. In order to restore justice, the refs ushered team to their locker rooms and added the 35 seconds to the third period. The Raiders led 5-3 after two and were in command 7-3 when Cockerill added his second in the late stages of the third. Jacob Illichman, Cody Ridden, Victor Wiens, and Joe Brown supplied singles for the Raiders. Shamrocks’ netminder Chad Pieper turned in a strong performance with 27 saves. “We have the pieces that can make this happen,” said Nelson. “We need to put it all together and play as a team.” Game 2 goes tonight 7:30 p.m. at Kelowna Memorial Arena. If required, Game 3 returns to Armstrong Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. A Raiders win gives them the rare five-peat and it’s something that is beginning wear on the Shamrocks’ vets. “Some of our new guys don’t really know what the Shaw Cup is about, but LISA MAZUREK / MORNING STAR our vets are really motivated to bring Armstrong Shamrocks’ Tyler Plante fights off Andrew Gordon and Cody Ridden of the Kelowna Raiders the Cup back to where it belongs,” said during Game 1 of the Shaw Cup senior C lacrosse finals Wednesday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. Nelson. The Shamrocks finished tied for The Shamrocks filed a protest about the in favour of stripping the Raiders of their first with the Raiders at 7-3, but sat in second because of their head-to-head Raiders playing with an illegal player and last four victories for dressing an illegal TOSLL commissioner Elinor Hinds ruled player – Evan Helgeson. record.
Tigers tightrope through Game 3, stay alive TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
With the grim reaper hovering above the Vernon end of Kal Tire Place, the Source for Sports Tigers stared him down and forced a Game 4. The Tigers trimmed the Kamloops Venom 13-9 in Game 3 of the best-of-five Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League final Tuesday night. “I feel a heck of a lot better now,” said Tigers’ head coach Chris Scabar. “This win gives us a spark and puts a bounce
in our step.” The Tigers trailed the series 2-1 with Game 4 played Thursday night at Memorial Arena in Kamloops. The Venom have been dictating the pace all series, but they took a backseat to Ryan Sarazin in Game 3. Sarazin was more focused than a university student cramming for final exams. He scored the first three goals and displayed how much the game meant to him with several fist pumps after each goal. “We were a little nervous before the game, but we got a
really close team with a lot of fifth-year guys in the room and we didn’t want this to be their last game,” said Sarazin, who was named the first star. Scabar started six seniors in what could have been their final game. Darrell Landels, Jay Seaton, Tre Mason, Braden Barr, Sarazin and goaltender Aaron Jensen graduate the Tigers program this summer. Close to 500 fans packed into KTP, including a boisterous contingent of Venom fans.

Riley Peterson opened the scoring 1:51 in from Riley Polacik and Haden Hoover. Peterson was the second star with 5+2, highlighted by an incredible flying goal, where he leaped in the air, pump faked in mid-flight, and fired it past Jensen 9:08 into the second. Jerome Thorne, Blaine Boomer, Kyle Pauwels and Hoover added singles. The Tigers took over with four goals in the second, including two by Darrell Landels, whose brother, Thomas, celebrated his 18th birthday. In his third year with the Cats, Quintin Harrish is coming into his own in the playoffs. Harrish bagged 20 goals and 28 points in 10 regular season games. “I feel like I’m more of a part of this offence and not just a transition player anymore,” said Harrish, who finished with 1+2. “I’m working well with Sarazin out there and I’m seeing the net pretty good.” Ethan Anderson chipped in a pair, while Jordy Barr, Steele Pelletier, Seaton, Darrien Ottesen and Braden Barr added singles for Vernon. For a goaltender who was rumored to have a lower-body injury, Jensen was moving around with ease between the pipes. He was sliding post-to-post fluently, making second- and third-save opportunities and bouncing to his feet while making 55 stops. He was the third star. Dalan Etter registered a 9.91 goals against average and .784 save percentage for the Snakes this season. At 8:34 into the second, Etter was sprinting to his bench during a delayed Tigers’ penalty when he collapsed. The game stopped while the Venom training staff attended to Etter,

Rosters Sports Club shut down the Vernon Controllers 1-0 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division play Tuesday night at Marshall Field #2. Crafty Monica Jatel popped a 20-yarder over keeper Michelle Embleton and under the crossbar with 13 minutes remaining. Rosters worked well together with lots of pressure up front and good control on defence. Super striker Renee Cooke returned from a broken ankle and showed awesome tenacity and hard work. Italian Kitchen Player of the Match for the Controllers went to Emma Louie, who was relentless on defence in the first half and then used her speed as a forward in the second half creating several scoring chances. Angela Durfeld controlled the ball well up the middle and distributed the ball wisely up to the Controller attackers. Val Percy and Jodi Peshko had a great game on defence, running down Rosters attempts at fast breakaways, and keeping the play out of the 18 for most of the night.

The North Enderby Timber claimed another North Okanagan Soccer League title without lacing up their boots. NET won 1-0 by forfeit over the Revelstoke Stallions in a game that was scheduled for Wednesday night in Salmon Arm. The Timber and Salmon Arm Courvas both finished at 12-1 and split their two regular-season games. NET iced Courvas 7-1, while Courvas stopped NET 1-0 so the Timber took first with a better goal differential. The playoffs open Wednesday night with the Timber facing last-place Peters Tirecraft, 7 p.m., at Marshall Field #3. Courvas grounded Peters Tirecraft 6-2 at Marshall Field #4. Andy Collins supplied both goals for Tirecraft (1-10-3) on feeds by Mark Wasylyk. Courvas meets the seventh-place Salmon Arm Outlaws Wednesday night in the Shuswap. Turn-Key Controls took third place in the eight-team circuit by smothering the host Outlaws 5-0. Again playing with no subs, Turn-Key (8-5-1) opened the scoring early when Nathan Tucker converted on a scramble. Turn-Key carried the majority of the play for the rest of
the half but were denied by some excellent goaltending by the Outlaw keeper. The second half saw Turn-Key focus on keeping the ball and it paid off with an offensive explosion. Centre back Reid Foerter made it 2-0 with a world-class 30-yard strike that dipped under the crossbar. Shortly after, Kanwar Pandher headed home a beautiful cross from Lucas Betschler to make it 3-0. Foerter then made a run down the left flank and fed fellow centre back Taylor Horsting, who was streaking towards the back post and volleyed home the cross. Tucker completed the scoring when he blasted home a 25-yarder top cheddar. Gregg Douma and David Weir shared the shutout. Turn-Key tangles with sixth-place Monashee Surveying Wednesday night at Marshall #5. Monashee shut down NOD Eagle Homes of Salmon Arm 2-0 Wednesday night. Revelstoke, who finished fourth at 6-7-1, takes on fifth-place Eagle Homes (4-8-2) Wednesday in Revelstoke. The Gibson Cup final date will be announced.

Rattler Nationals a riot TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
More than 500 riders packed into Ranger Park last weekend for the Vernon Rattler National BMX races. Vernon produced several podium finishes for local riders at the first national event held here in four years. “It was a fantastic event. We got great weather and tons of riders out from all over Canada and the U.S.,” said Vernon BMX Club president Shylo Orchard. Professional riders Kevin Hill and Mani Kawaguchi found their way onto the podium both days. Hill won his national event on Saturday and placed second on Sunday. Kawaguchi placed second on Saturday and won his national on Sunday. Cohen Hogberg, Carter Everson and Orchard won both their national events on Saturday and Sunday. Hogberg competed in the 6 intermediate division, Everson was in the 8 novice division and Orchard won the 36-40 girl cruiser division. Also placing in the 8 novice division was Tristian McKenzie with a silver on Saturday, and Logan Spence, who finished second on both days. After winning the 11 novice pre race on Friday, Wilson McDonwell backed it up with gold on Saturday. Nathan Martin is still searching for his first national title of the season after a fifth and second place finish in the 17-18 expert division. “It was a phenomenal turnout for a local track. We ran 100 motos on Saturday, which is a lot even for the bigger events,” said Orchard. In the 31-35 girls cruiser division, Amanda Hogberg went home with a silver on Saturday and a bronze on Sunday. Drew Solmes finished second on Saturday in the 6 intermediate division. Toran Edwards battled back from a fifth-place showing on Saturday to capture the bronze on Sunday in the 7 expert division. Don Hill hauled in a pair of medals, winning
gold on Saturday and silver on Sunday in the 55-60 expert class. Arleigh Hill only competed on Sunday and won silver in the 46-50 girls cruiser division. Chris Spence competed in the 41-45 division and won first on Saturday and took second on Sunday. Dean Botterill brought home a pair of third places in the 46-50 division. Matthew McMillan also won a pair of bronzes in the 8 intermediate division. Competing in the 36-40 expert group, Cory Banks took third on Saturday and won the event on Sunday. James Bridge was the oldest rider from Vernon to medal with a third place in Sunday’s 61+ cruiser division. Bella Aucomp raced in the 3-year-old Strider division and won two silver medals. “We got amazing responses from everyone who helped organize this event and I think it will do great things for the growth of the sport here in Vernon,” said Orchard.
Champness on track Morning Star Staff
After a slower-than-usual start to the season, Nathan Champness is back on track. The Vernon product kept Ironman Melbourne champion Jeff Symonds honest at the Great White North Triathlon (Stony Plain, Alta.) on July 5, breaking the four-hour barrier for the Half-Iron distance in three hours, 56 minutes and 53 seconds, a strong second behind Symonds’ 3:53:52. A week later, Champness won the Olympicdistance Heart of the Rockies Triathlon in Invermere, posting a 2:04:41 on a challenging course, and finishing with a 4:49 margin over the runner-up. “It’s important to me to race to my potential; it’s a way of saying thanks to everyone supporting me. The faster I go, the better I express my appreciation for everything they’ve done for me.” Next up is the Challenge Penticton half distance Aug. 30 (1.9k swim, 90k bike and 21.1k run).
A former Vernon Vipers forward is now a member of the Salmon Arm Silverbacks. Salmon Arm GM Troy Mick announced that his B.C. Hockey League club has acquired Matty Saharchuk in a trade with the Battlefords North Stars of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. The 6-foot-2 Saharchuk spent the 2013-14 season with the Vipers – including their appearance as host team for the 2014 RBC Cup tournament – and played the year before in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League with Armstrong’s North Okanagan Knights, where he was an affiliate player with the gorillas. “Matt is a big, leftshot centreman that can also play the wing,” said Mick. “He is a very versatile forward who will help bolster our offence this year.” Saharchuk, 20, of Fort St. James, was the leading scorer for the North Stars with 16 goals 20 assists for a total of 36 points in only 44 games played.

Of those respondents who were in a collision or near collision as a result of distracted driving, more than half (11 per cent) report the use of a cellphone as the top culprit, followed by eating or drinking (seven per cent) and singing/dancing (five per cent).

Smell the flowers and view the art at Sunday’s Art in the Garden show and sale in Vernon
Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
The black-eyed Susans lift their sunny heads skyward as the group gathers in the garden. Dotted in pinks, yellows and purples – and that’s not just the flowers – the artists tote some of the work they will display for the annual Art in the Garden show and sale. The pieces come as colourful as the surroundings at Mike Jell’s outdoor abode in Vernon. Included in the vista is a small floral of yellow and purple pansies painted by Cherryville artist Gary Whitley, and on the other end is a stark metal and glass piece forged in the Commonage studio of blacksmith artist Doug Alcock. The colour and subject matter spans the gamut with more painted works by Vernon artists Jell, Wendy Hart Penner, Kara Barkved, watercolourist Juve Furtado, as well as Revelstoke raku artist David Walker. “This is our sixth year of holding the show. When we started we decided to give it five years and see how it goes,” said Jell, adding, “It’s gone well over those years.” Art in the Garden was previously held in conjunction with the Caetani Cultural Centre’s art and garden trail as well as the People Place garden tour. Last year saw approximately 250 visitors – most from the local vicinity but some from as far away as Christina Lake and Penticton – attend the show. “People can walk around and see different things happening,” said Jell. “It’s a relaxed and fresh way of showing art,” added Penner, who participated in Art in the Garden last year. An illustrator and designer by profession, Penner paints still life, portraits and landscapes, and will be showing all new works this year including more of her popular cupcake series. New to Art in the Garden is Barkved, who describes her work as abstract. Due to arthritis in her hands, Barkved has trouble hold-

Painting to me is organic. It’s full of lively shapes – the universe’s molecules in motion,” she said. “I love mark making and playing with the wind.” A senior artist with the Federation of Canadian Artists, Whitley is showing his florals and some land and seascapes at the show. He and Jell, an award winning wildlife and landscape artist, are among eight Canadian artists who have been invited to show their work at an international harvest festival in
Tianjin, China next year. Alcock, meanwhile, has been busy working through the heat, thanks to a new mister in his shop, creating more of his metal sculptures, which he says incorporate old traditions and new dimensions. “I am still working with metal and glass (supplied by Kelowna artist David Montpetit). I am hoping to have a new western series out soon,” he said. Visitors can meet the artists and see their work Sunday at Art in the Garden, located in the gardens at 1701 46th Ave. off Pleasant Valley Road. The show runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Guitar pickin’ country gentleman plays next Caetani Music Series concert Morning Star Staff
Talent, commitment, sacrifice, and attitude are four words that Kelowna-based artist Ben Klick lives by. Klick has established himself as a guitar slinging, unique and interactive country musician. Taking part in the 2015 Caetani Summer Music Series, Sunday, Klick recorded and released his debut EP in May, 2014. His songs have since been added to the emerging artist categories of local radio stations around the Okanagan. “I write about what is true to me, friends, and family. Without them, I wouldn’t be
where I am today. I’m extremely thankful and very blessed to have people in my life who believe in me and are behind my every move each step of the way,” he said. Klick has been to and plans to revisit various country music capitals of the world, the most famous being Music City, Nashville, Tenn. Performing at the well known Tootsies Orchid Lounge, Commodore Grill, and the Ryman Auditorium stage, Klick says his passion and dedication is only becoming stronger. He has attended the B.C. Country Music Awards (BCCMAs), the Canadian Country
Music Awards (CCMAs), received a 2013 Civic and Community Award nomination, and a 2014 Okanagan Arts Award. Opening for Klick will be local singer Taylor Thomas. Sunday’s concert happens on the outdoor stage at the Caetani Cultural Centre from 2 to 4 p.m. The event takes place rain or shine, and a sprinkler will be set up to help everyone cool down if it’s a hot day. The public is welcome to bring blankets, folding chairs, and a picnic. A selection of refreshments will be available for purchase and admission is by donation.

Her Music Says it All

Amy (Amy Schumer) and Aaron (Bill Hader) fall in love and get it right in the romantic comedy Trainwreck. time ready to admit to her flaws and make efforts to change them. We say, “Trainwreck doesn’t sound funny, but it is.” TAYLOR: Before this film I hadn’t heard of Amy Schumer. She wrote and stars in Trainwreck, which if not autobiographical, is at least familiar to Schumer and to you. As the tagline reads, “We’ve all known one (or we’ve been one).” I’m impressed. Schumer has the blunt, occasionally shocking, honesty that seems to permeate comedies these days, especially in films like this one, directed by Judd Apatow (This is 40). The difference between Trainwreck and other Apatow films is mathematically solved by Schumer’s sensibility, realism and believability. HOWE: We’ve all seen an Apatow movie and most of them are pretty pants. This,
on the other hand, surprised me. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised. Maybe this was due to the fact that Schumer wrote Trainwreck, rather than Apatow. That may be the reason itself that the film, and therefore the comedy, has a more real, raw feel to it. It’s a relationship from a woman’s perspective rather than a guy writing it and telling her how he wants her to play the part. TAYLOR: There’s still plenty of Apatow in this New York movie. I didn’t laugh once, but I usually don’t. I did smile a lot and I really enjoyed getting to know the characters. It’s a bit long (Apatow B-stories run deep), but I didn’t mind because the characters, situations and jokes were likeable. I was surprised that there were two disappointing moments in the film. Usually at the three-quarter mark
something bad happens that our main characters have to work out, but in Trainwreck we get two. That’s life I guess. I can’t really predict if you’ll find it funny or not. I can tell you it’s well made, well acted and entertaining, with many surprising guest stars. HOWE: I, on the other hand, did laugh, quite a bit, especially in the first 40 minutes or so. At this point the serious part of the movie kicked in and, to be honest, I didn’t really mind. I found the story to be strong, realistic, the acting and dialogue between the characters very good and unlike some of Apatow’s films, it kept me entertained for the entire movie. – Taylor gives Trainwreck 3.5 grumpy Mets’ fans out of 5. – Howe gives it 3.5 snowglobes out of 5.

years, this will be its first time playing in the Enderby area. Offering a modern vintage rock sound, featuring four-part harmonies, saxophone and three lead singers, the five-piece embodies
something new with a hint of familiarity. Comprised of Capilano University grads, No Island recently released its debut fulllength album, Better Days, to positive reviews. As Graham White
from the Vancouver blog GeyserMusic put it, “It feels like a throwback to an earlier time in music, in the best way... Even in the recording I can hear the energy and stage presence this group of frontmen must have seeping out of every pore.” In addition to playing their own original songs, band members have become known for their version of several ‘70s hits. In April, No Island was awarded $1,000 from Vancouver radio station LG104.3 for its version of The Eagles’ One of These Nights. The band hits the stage at Lorenzo’s, 901 Mabel Lake Rd., Wednesday at 8 p.m. Call 250-838-6700 for more information.

Party on the yacht
M
Pitbull: Dale
iami, Fla.-based rapper Pitbull’s (Armando Perez to his mama) ninth album, Dale, is a Spanish language hothouse party extravaganza. Pitbull comes on like a self assured crossover star and wastes no time making this point with a host of Spanish speaking guest stars. Dean Gordon-Smith Although lyrics aren’t essential here, Dale roughly translates into “do it” or “let’s go”, equivalent to such inspiring Canadianisms as “give ‘er” or “get ‘er done”. Dale is summertime party music, or the 2015 version of yacht rock. Either way, it raises temperatures with its Latin rooftop party vibe. Pitbull’s MC persona is morph-

ing into that of a bound-for Vegas pop star. His Cuban hip hop roots are taken to extremes with a parade of Spanish singing guest stars. Pitbull’s repetitive phrases recall Beck’s Guero phase, and El Taxi (with Sensata and Osmani Garcia) takes inspiration from the same sources. Most of the material is built around hooks and call and response and Pitbull varies this with a relentless beat and sly humour. Because the album is “sung” in Spanish it is easier to feel the music rather than understand it, and traditional Latin sounds appear in all their dramatic glory (Haciendo Radio, with Ricky Martin, and Hoy Se Bebe). Dale is an immersion in unrestrained energy; it never flags. A detour emerges in No Puerdo Mas (with Yandel), an ‘80s inspired electro groove that seems nearly sedate amongst the frenetic surroundings. Andale, andale – it’s worldwide, baby.

Riley takes on the Pan Am Games Riley McLean is just 15 but is making his mark in the world of para-swimming
Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff
His five siblings were all involved with the Kokanee Swim Club, so there was never any question that Riley McLean would also be spending a lot of time in the water. But for the 15-year-old Seaton secondary student, learning to swim was a little more of a challenge. Born with arthrogryposis, Riley can frequently be seen around town on his Shriners-sponsored Segway. “I got into it when I was in Grade 8 — my dad wanted me to because my family was nervous that if I had no way of doing exercise and if I gained weight my legs would not hold me,” he said. Arthrogryposis is a congenital condition that in Riley’s case restricts the use of all of the joints in his body with the exception of his hips and spinal column. Since his legs are in a fixed-straight position, a wheelchair was not an option, but the two-wheeled Segway works nicely. “Against all odds, Riley is cognitively strong, socially gregarious and skateboardenabled,” said his dad, Keith McLean. “He is an athlete who refuses to be trapped by the limitations of his body.” Now a Canadian record holder in two para-swimming events — the 50-metre freestyle and 50-backstroke, Riley is on his way to the Parapan Am Games in Toronto, where the teen will be one of 1,500 athletes from 28 countries competing in 15 sports. “When I first started, I never expected to go to cool places, but coach Renate Terpstra started telling me about all the cool places I could go,” he said. “At the first Can-Am games in Edmonton I realized there were lots of other swimmers like me. I though I would be the only swimmer with a disability but I got to Edmonton and saw lots of others with a disability and I made lots of friends. In two years I have become a national and international swimmer and am making my way to the Paralympics in 2020.” Terpstra, who volunteers her time to coach Riley, said training an athlete with a disability simply involves a shift in attitude. “This has been a learning curve for me. It’s a lot of thinking outside the box,” said Terpstra, originally from the Netherlands,

Riley McLean (left) and Jacob Brayshaw take a break from swim practice at the Vernon Recreation Complex aquatic centre with coach Renate Terpstra. where she was a PE teacher, ran a sports training school and was a top-ranked European handball player. “The interesting thing with swimming with a disability is that they are all different, so to start I had Riley learn with young kids — he wasn’t a fast swimmer at the beginning. And he needs a lot of space to swim. He can use his arms a little bit but he needs room to turn around. He is amazing and he is just getting more fit.” Keith said while he always believed Riley could do anything he set his mind to, he wasn’t sure if swimming was going to be one of those activities. Adopted at 18 months old, Riley is the youngest of six children for Keith — aboriginal support worker at Beairsto — and his wife, Odette. “He didn’t just wake up and think ‘I want to be a competitive swimmer,’ it was a process,” said Keith. “I once suggested to his sister that I didn’t think he would ever be able to swim. ‘Dad,’ she scoffed, ‘everyone swims in this family.’ She was right and, with her mother, taught him.” Riley entered the Aqua-dapt program at the Vernon aquatic centre and made great gains in his aquatic abilities. “When he started with the Vernon
Kokanee, he received incredible support, including financial support, solicited by club president Ken Brown, from anonymous local donators,” said Keith. Riley began competing 20 months ago as a way of meeting the requirements for his PE courses at Seaton, and Keith said the school has been very accommodating, with principal Jackie Kersey assuring him that she and math teacher Darren Johnson used to be competitive swimmers so there was no need to explain why, when he swims at a national meet in Toronto on the weekend, he needs to leave school on a Wednesday. “He still has to do his homework, though.” It’s been a busy spring and summer for Riley, who recently competed in the Kamloops Classic Swim Meet as preparation for the AAAs in Victoria, which helped prepare him for the National Swim Camp in Ottawa, and the Parapan Ams. “There is a lineup of meets anticipated should he be successful at the Pan Am Games, but for now we deal with what is within reach,” said Keith. Riley performs the breaststroke without the aid of his arms. This is accomplished by using his gluteus maximus and adductor magnus
muscles to bring his legs into a perfectly horizontal position, then form a V to perform a scissor-like action to propel himself forward — using only his legs. There are guards posted alongside the pool to disqualify him if he deviates from the described motion. The McLeans are a close-knit family and when they are all together — including Riley’s adult siblings and Keith and Odette’s four grandchildren — they can usually be found in the backyard pool. For Riley, swimming takes up a big chunk of his time, but he still finds time to skateboard, ride dirt bikes and play video games. “I have thousands of other interests,” said Riley, a French immersion student at Seaton who starts Grade 10 in the fall. His dad said Riley’s disability has never been an issue with his peers because he has been with the same group since all of them started kindergarten. “With French immersion, they start together and they go through Grade 12 and they are all together all the way through school, so if you take the mystery out of it, you avoid the speculation because the kids know all about it.”

handicapable — I’m so proud of these kids.” At a recent Vernon School District board meeting, Mehain shared some of her story. “I first heard about Paralympic swimming when I was 11,” she said. “I have cerebral palsy so one side of my body is weaker — I do the butterfly with one arm. “Swimming has created so many possibilities in my life. You see a bunch of new opportunities in your life. It’s a great community.” As for Riley’s family, they’ll be glued to the TV for the next three weeks, cheering on the teen as he competes in his events: the 50-, 100-, 200-free and 50-back. “He has gone way beyond what we imagined — we had no idea whether Riley would even be capable of walking or speaking and as he has progressed, he is way beyond anything we could have dreamed of for him,” said Keith. “He continues to progress and to succeed and he is motivated. He has a lot of self-discipline, he has made a lot of friends, there are times when he has to say ‘I can’t stay up late’ because he has to train. “His whole life we’ve always taken the
approach that it’s not that he can’t do something, it’s how can he do something and that’s a good approach. For the longest time, he didn’t know what handicapped was, he said ‘I think it was something that happened to other people.’ Once you meet Riley nobody thinks of the disability or the handicap. For me, I always have to bite my lip when he is trying something and that we’re not going to be picking up body parts, but he has been abstaining from skateboarding in preparation for the Games.” Keith said his son has learned to accept the thunderous applause that erupts when he completes his events. “He used to complain to me, ‘Dad, can’t they see that I was last?’ He has learned to accept the attention, perhaps even enjoy it.” Attending paraswim meets has given Riley new perspective on his abilities and prospects, said Keith. “As local para-swimming celebrity Sarah Mehain has said, ‘It is not until you attend these meets that you realize that you are not alone.’ “Riley is blaz-
ing a new trail but he is not doing it alone. Tremendous effort has been expended by family, friends, individuals, community, and school to help to clear the path — a tribute to the community we live in.” nnn Formerly with the Kokanee, where she spent 10 years as a coach, Terpstra has been busy setting up Okanagan Para Swimming (OPS), for athletes with disabilities. “The Rec Centre and aquatic coordinator Gary Lefebvre have been so supportive,” she said. The program, for kids 18 and under with physical disabilities, is part of the Aqua Awareness Program offered by the Vernon Recreation Centre. Older athletes with a disability have the option to register for private coaching. “OPS provides swimmers with a physical disability a high quality program and outstanding coaching in a fun, safe and supportive environment,” said Terpstra. “Our athletes achieve both personal and performance excellence, in and out of the pool.” Terpstra said,
through swimming, participants will learn how to set goals and develop self-discipline while building self-confidence. She said participants will work towards the opportunity to swim at meets, where both ablebodied athletes and athletes with disabilities compete together. “These kids don’t fit in the regular program and there are too many kids and not enough lane space. I have been with some of these kids for many years and have worked with the national coach, have been to seven Can-Am games. I want to promote longterm athletic development.” The program starts in September and is open to swimmers from throughout the Okanagan, who can join by training once, twice or three times a week. Training will take place in Vernon Mondays from 3:15 to 4 p.m., Wednesdays from 3:15 to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to noon. For more information and to register, contact Terpstra at 250-307-3964 or email swimcoach@renateterpstra.com or drop by the rec centre front desk.

With summer upon us the itch to get outdoors becomes difficult to ignore. Our family likes to make time each summer for a few camping trips. Since we have a toddler, I like to make sure we are organized with food. I plan simple meals and prepare food before we go. I try to use certain foods in multiple meals and snacks, such as cheese, yogurt and bread, to save space in the cooler. Of course, we also pack less healthy snacks for around the fire, whether it’s making s’mores or passing around a bag of chips. But, like at home, I think it is important that most of our food be nutritious. Here are some foods that are often found in our camping cooler: Prepare in advance: n Make and freeze whole grain muffins, pancakes or loaves. n Pre-measure bags of rolled oats with nuts, seeds and dried fruit to cook on the camp stove. n Hard-boil eggs for protein at breakfast or lunch. n Cook rice, quinoa or pasta the night before you leave and have it in the first couple of days. n Make and freeze chili and/or pasta sauce. It will act as ice in the cooler and keep for a couple of days. n Freeze lean meats or fish with marinade in freezer bags so they are ready for the barbecue.
n Make and freeze hamburger patties. Use ground chicken, turkey or lean grass-fed beef. Breakfast ideas: eggs and toast, Greek yogurt with fruit and granola, cold cereal (choose something low in sugar) with milk or yogurt, peanut butter and jam sandwiches with sliced apples and oranges, oatmeal or packages of plain instant oats (just add hot water). Lunch ideas: whole grain pitas with hummus and cut up veggies, sandwiches: egg or tuna salad, or veggies and cheese on whole grain bread, a hotdog “alternative” with chicken or turkey sausage on a wholegrain bun (choose sausages that are lower in sodium and free of preservatives), burritos made from leftover chili and grated cheese in wraps. Dinner ideas: chili and buns, pasta sauce with whole grain noodles, lean meat of your choice with a variety of vegetables, grilled veggies: toss a variety of chopped veggies in olive oil with fresh herbs and wrap in tinfoil and grill, try carrots, potatoes, yams, beets and/or onions, lean hamburger patties on a whole grain bun Snack ideas: whole grain crackers and cheese, apple slices and peanut butter, trail mix (nuts, seeds, dried fruit, chocolate chips), campfire cones (sugar cones, chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, chopped strawberries and banana — wrap in tinfoil and grill over the fire) Now get out there and enjoy the great outdoors!

Five sweet Malaise Era cars By Grant Stoecker
The Malaise Era was the antithesis of the muscle car heyday that existed merely a year before its start in 1973. It was a dark period characterized best by underwhelming engines, EPA restrictions, and questionable styling. In the Malaise Era you could run your new Cobra through the gears without raising the attention of local law enforcement. The Malaise era wasn’t without hope, and the era saw production of a few diamonds in the rough. Here are our picks. 1. 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am Special Edition Call it the Burt Reynold’s effect, but the 1977 Trans-Am is still a kick-ass ride. Featured in 1977’s top grossing film, Smokey and the Bandit, the black and gold Trans-Am had as much star power as the mustachioed Reynolds. The power for the T/A came from a 6.6 litre V8, producing a disappointing 200 horses for 1977, a far cry years prior. It didn’t seem to matter as you cruised down main street, however, T-Tops in the trunk and blasting Journey through the 8-track. The menacing looks of the Trans Am seemed to be more than supple to erase any memory of the days of muscle car past, as other drivers stared in awe from the seats of the latest econo-box. 2. 1981-83 DeLorean DMC-12 The DMC-12 was the car from the future that no one had asked for, but everyone wanted. Built by an automotive dream team consisting of John DeLorean, Colin Chapman, and Giorgetto Giugiaro, the DMC-12 was built to be a futuristic luxury coupe with a 200 horsepower Wankel rotary engine and price of $12,000. Execution of the concept missed the mark,
and the production DMC-12 drew its underwhelming 130 horsepower from a Renault 6 six-, and was sold for $36,000. Despite this, the DeLorean secured its spot in the hearts of people around the globe as Doc Brown’s time machine in the 80’s mega-franchise, Back to the Future. If only they had come stock with the flux capacitor. 3. 1983-86 Audi Quattro Germany continued to make fast cars throughout the malaise era, such as the BMW M1 and Porsche 930, but Audi created a completely new segment of car with the introduction of its all-wheel drive performance car, the Audi Quattro. The Quattro was originally introduced to the European marketplace in 1980, but did not make its way stateside until 1983. With power from its turbocharged five-cylinder going to all four wheels, the Audi Quattro became a rally car legend, and the production models looked the part with its noticeable fender flares, Audi graphics, and BBS alloy wheels. The car was a head of its time, and only 664 were ever sold in the US before Audi discontinued it stateside in 1987.
4. 1974-76 Bricklin SV-1
‘‘
In the Malaise Era you could run your new Cobra through the gears without raising the attention of local law enforcement.
Canada’s primary contribution to the malaise era was the brainchild of American millionaire Malcolm Bricklin, who dreamt of making the world’s safest sport car, naming his creation the Safety Vehicle One, or SV-1. The SV-1 had a smattering of safety features ranging from an integrated roll cage to safety bumpers, and even lacked an ashtray to discourage drivers from smoking. The Bricklin was powered by an AMC or Ford V8, and was rated favorably at the time against its competitor, the Corvette. Despite initial reviews, the car was notorious for poor build quality, and the engine was prone to overheating due to its small radiator. Bricklin went into receivership in 1976, and the SV-1 was dead in the water.
’’
5. 1987 Buick Grand National/ GNX
1975 Bricklin SV-1
The Buick Grand National was not your grandfather’s Buick. Often referred to as Darth Vader’s car due to its all black paint scheme, the Buick Grand National was powered by a Turbocharged V6, and was rated for only 245 horsepower. The Grand National Experimental, or GNX, was the baddest of the Grand Nationals, and after rolling off the production line,
it was sent to the mad scientists over at McLaren Performance, who modified the engine to be able to run 0 to 100 m/h in a mere 4.3 seconds, a figure impressive by modern standards.

Bridge by Phillip Alder DO NOT FORGET THE BIDDING DATA According to a 1982 survey of American and Canadian psychologists, Albert Ellis was considered the second most influential psychotherapist in history. (Carl Rogers ranked first and Sigmund Freud was third.) Ellis said, “The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You don’t blame them on your mother, the ecology or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.” In this week’s deals, one defender takes control to try to defeat the contract. And sometimes that requires paying careful attention to the auction. In today’s deal, West leads
the heart king against four spades. What happens after that? West’s three-heart jump overcall was weak, showing a good six-card suit and 6-10 high-card points. Against a weak jump overcall, responder, with support for partner’s major, bids one more than he would have done if the intervenor had passed. Here, a threespade response would have shown a decent single raise. His actual jump to game indicated game-invitational values. (And with more, he would have cue-bid four hearts, which would have said nothing about his holding in hearts.) An East who is not thinking would signal encouragement at trick one with his heart eight. But
South would ruff the second heart, draw trumps, and run the clubs for 10 tricks. From West’s bid, East knows that South has a singleton heart. So East must take control. He overtakes his partner’s king with his ace and shifts to the diamond queen. Here, that works like a charm.

The
Ombudsman reviews case TOM FLETCHER Black Press
B.C.’s new ombudsperson has been given extra authority to investigate the case of eight ministry of health researchers whose work on drug effectiveness was terminated three years ago. The B.C. government passed amendments Tuesday to allow ombudsperson Jay Chalke to review the case that has had the government on the defensive since the abrupt dismissal of university researchers in 2012. The researchers were assessing drugs for eligibility under the province’s Pharmacare program. The health ministry initially indicated that a confidential database of B.C. patients who had taken various drugs had been misused, and some of the researchers appeared to have conflicts of interest. One fired contractor committed suicide, another is suing the government for wrongful dismissal and the remainder have been paid confidential settlements and reinstated. The government has since apologized for the way the contractors were treated, but reasons for the firings and why they were reversed have not been made clear. Chalke, a former public trustee appointed ombudsperson this spring, said he would take the case if confidentiality agreements didn’t prevent him from reviewing documents and getting answers from those involved. Attorney General Suzanne Anton presented changes to the Ombudsperson Act to exempt the office from confidentiality agreements for this case, and the changes passed the legislature with unanimous consent in under an hour Tuesday. After an independent labour lawyer was unable to compel testimony from senior health ministry officials, Premier Christy Clark rejected opposition calls for an independent inquiry. Health Minister Terry Lake referred the issue to the ombudsperson, and NDP critics agreed to the move after changes were made to give Chalke the authority he needs.
