Trio face charges from 2014 shooting JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
A year-long investigation into shots fired in Polson Park now has three men facing charges ranging from attempted murder to robbery with a firearm and discharging a weapon in a reckless manner. “It was a very lengthy investigation,” said Gordon Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “There was a lot of evidence that had to be gathered, there were a lot of statements that had to be put forward. It takes some time to put all the details together.” Model shown: Civic EX FB2E5FJX RCMP responded to the Aug. 12, 2014 incident, following a report of shots being fired that morning. Shots were fired both in the park and at the Green Valley Motel, where a robbery is believed to have taken place.

believed to have been involved in a robbery at one of the units of the Green Valley Motel where a firearm was discharged and ultimately led to the confrontation in Polson Park,” said Molendyk. The person being shot at is one of three who now face charges, said Molendyk, adding that the robbery was likely in relation to drugs. “We are happy to report that charges against three of the men that were originally arrested have been approved.” All three Vernon men have been taken into police custody and now face charges. Robin Rochmont, 34, faces seven charges, including attempted murder. Jacob Lowes, 29, faces three charges, including attempted murder. Adrian Dziedzic, 24, faces two charges, including using a restricted/prohibited weapon to commit robbery and discharge of a restricted/prohibited firearm.

New details reveal further Stickle upset RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s mayor is increasingly frustrated after more details were revealed for a busy intersection. Ministry of Transportation officials told Akbal Mund Monday that once Stickle Road and Highway 97 is realigned, anyone turning south from Stickle will not be able to access the 27th Street exit into Vernon. “The majority of vehicles want to go to Akbal Mund 27th Street,” said Mund. Under the ministry proposal, anyone turning left from Stickle on to the highway would not be able to use the 27th Street exit and would have to go over the overpass and use side roads to get to Walmart and the Village Green Centre.
Mund believes motorists will be delayed and take chances to get where they want to go. “It defeats the purpose of having this plan.” Ministry officials say their design was developed because there wouldn’t be enough time for motorists to come off of Stickle and merge into the 27th Street exit. The fact that motorists coming from Stickle won’t be able to make the 27th Street exit isn’t a big deal, says Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA. “You just go over the hill and make a left turn.” The ministry is proposing to construct a protected T intersection to allow for leftturns from Stickle Road on to the highway towards Vernon. There would be a separate left turn with turn-around access for the Silver Star RV Park area and the ministry would eliminate highway cross-movements 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. “We’re not happy with the proposal,” said David Claeys, spokesperson for Stickle Road property owners and businesses. “Once sewer comes into the area, there will be tremendous growth and the safest thing is a traffic light. We’re not sure why they (ministry) are so reluctant to do that.” Claeys is asking for any reports the ministry used to rule out a traffic signal. “We want to work with them on a positive solution.” Ministry staff have stated that a signal would slow down traffic on the highway, lead to long lines on Stickle Road and result in fender-benders. “I’ve also heard from a tremendous number of people who travel that highway every day who don’t want a speedlight and don’t

want to slow down,” said Foster. “There’s control T’s all over the place and they work really well.” The Ministry of Transportation will hold a public open house on its Stickle Road proposal today from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Prestige Hotel

News Test drive leads to impound JENNIFER SMITH
Morning Star Staff
A quick test drive left a local driver with some explaining to do after getting the vehicle impounded Friday night. “An individual was doing 130 kilometres an hour in a 60 zone on Westside Road,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “He was testing
a vehicle he was thinking of buying.” The driver, a 23-year-old North Westside resident, had the vehicle impounded for seven days. It is believed the vehicle was a friend or family member’s. The impound was one of five in the last week (one of which was for alcohol). There were also four 90-day immediate roadside prohibitions.
RICHARD ROLKE/MORNING STAR
Parking on both sides of Kidston Road, between Linden Drive and Coldstream Creek Road, will soon be banned.
No parking on Kidston RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
There are going to be fewer places to park in a Coldstream neighbourhood. Council voted Monday to install a no parking zone on either side of Kidston Road from Linden Drive to Coldstream Creek Road as part of pathway development. “There’s an overwhelming majority of people who want no parking signs and they have been told the no parking signs will apply to them as well,” said Michael Baker, director of engineering services. A petition requesting a no parking zone was signed by 13 people who are concerned about congestion. “I’ve seen people parking on Kidston when the Sovereign Park parking lot is full. It’s a relatively small lot,” said Coun. Richard Enns.
In his report, Baker indicated that this area of Kidston Road is fairly busy because of nearby residences, the elementary school, boat launches and nearby Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. “Providing a no parking zone in this area will provide a safer, user-friendly shoulder
that would be dedicated to pedestrians and cyclists,” said Baker. Coun. Doug Dirk believes a prohibition on parking in this area is necessary because a dedicated pathway for pedestrians is currently being constructed. “If we’re putting in a bike lane, we’re opening up an invitation (for
motorists) to park on the lane,” he said. The decision to install no parking signs was unanimous (Coun. Peter McClean was absent). “There’s a potential problem in a high-use area by Sovereign Park and we want to keep it open for safety reasons,” said Mayor Jim Garlick.

Mussel fight gains profile Morning Star Staff
The fight to keep invasive mussels out of Okanagan lakes has garnered some help. The Okanagan Basin Water Board has joined forces with Formula 1 Tunnel Boat Racing Team driver Mike McLellan to promote the Don’t Move A Mussel campaign. “This is great news,” said OBWB chairperson Doug Findlater. “Mike is a high-profile driver on the Formula 1 boat Mike McLellan racing circuit in Canada and the U.S., always drawing a crowd, and he has a great understanding of the mussel issue and the need to protect our waters.” Don’t Move A Mussel is aimed at raising awareness around invasive zebra and quagga mussels and the need to stop them from spreading to the Okanagan. “After reading about the issue, I knew it was a concern for everyone who uses our lakes, paddle
boarders, anyone who pulls an inner-tube off the back of their boat, anglers, beachgoers, just everyone,” said McLellan, who is from Kelowna. McLellan contacted OBWB and offered to help spread the word. His boat and the truck he uses to haul it are now decaled with the Don’t Move a Mussel message. He’s also handing out information cards and is talking about the issue with everyone he gets a chance to meet with. “It’s something we all have to be aware of and be concerned about,” McLellan said. “This is a really big issue. There is so much at stake. Okanagan Lake is so beautiful, and as far as we know it’s mussel-free, but we have to stay on top of this. We, as part of the U.S. F1 Tour in 2015, have a unique ability to promote the message and that’s why we reached out to help spread the word.” According to research conducted for OBWB, a mussel infestation would cost the Okanagan about $43 million a year. Learn more about mussels and the campaign at www.DontMoveAMussel.ca.

Crews make progress on local wildfires Morning Star Staff
Precipitation and cooler temperatures have allowed crews to gain the upper hand on wildfires. The 350-hectare Bolean Lake blaze near Falkland is about 80 per cent contained. “Crews have made significant progress building containment lines around the perimeter of the fire,” states the B.C. Wildfire Service. The evacuation alert for properties near Bolean Lake was rescinded by the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District Monday. Over on Westside Road, the 560-hectare Shelter Cove fire is 80 per cent contained. On Monday, crews completed danger tree assessments on the fire line, and they were working to mop-up into the perimeter of the fire. The evacuation alert for the Shelter Cove fire has been

MLA in a Stickle pickle
I
t clearly wasn’t the wisest thing for MLA Eric Foster to say. When asked by the media about the prospect of anyone turning left off of Stickle Road on to Highway 97 not being able to use the 27th Street exit, Foster down-played the impact on motorists. “You just go over the hill and make a left turn,” he said. In a nut shell that sounds simple, but the reality is that anyone leaving Stickle Road and Richard Rolke wanting to go to Walmart or the Village Green Centre will have to bypass the 27th Street exit and go over the overpass and then hit 48th Avenue. Along the way they will encounter the traffic light at Vernon Toyota which could be backed-up if more vehicles are going that way, and then the ever increasing congestion along 48th Avenue and more lights before reaching 27th Street. Or if, after leaving Squires Four or the automobile dealers there, you will have to make the same circuit to 27th Street and ultimately your home in parts of Vernon or Coldstream. Obviously this isn’t Vancouver and Foster is correct that restricting access to the 27th Street exit won’t add hours to a trip, but it will make what were fairly straight-forward excursions more complex and inconvenient. Would you rather be at Walmart in a few minutes or take the scenic tour? Some residents may actually question frequenting the businesses on Stickle Road if they can’t simply get on to 27th Street and go home, and that could impact the bottom line for those merchants. But while Foster is defending the Ministry of Transportation’s design, Vernon’s mayor is rallying for the residents and businesses.
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
“The majority of vehicles want to go to 27th Street,” said Akbal Mund. Of course this isn’t the first time that Mund has lashed out at the ministry’s plans for a T intersection at Stickle Road instead of a traffic signal. “This presentation insulted my intelligence and the intelligence of everyone,” he said after a ministry presentation last week that suggested traffic signals only occur in more urban environments. Essentially, ministry staff made it sound like Stickle Road was out on the bald prairie, which is odd since you can practically see the Golden Arches from there. Given the ministry’s logic, there shouldn’t be a traffic light at Highway 97 and College Way or Highway 6 and Aberdeen Road. What makes them more urbanized than Stickle Road? Why is there a light at Smith Drive and Highway 97A in Armstrong and what about the signals, one after the other, on the TransCanada Highway heading west into Kamloops? Mund has also accused the ministry of being contradictory when he has suggested reducing the speed on Highway 97 at Stickle Road. “They say lowering the speed is dangerous but according to ICBC and the RCMP, lowering the speed is safer,” he said. Given that the City of Vernon and the Regional District of North Okanagan have sided behind Stickle Road residents and businesses for a traffic light, the ministry could be under significant pressure to back down during a public open house at the Prestige Hotel today. However, if the ministry sticks to its guns and does install a T intersection with no Stickle Road access to 27th Street, residents may want to check with Foster to see if he has extra time to get them around.
Regardless of when the official announcement is made, the federal election campaign has been underway for some time. Photo-ops of myriad funding announcements have exploded like the wildfires of B.C., while the requisite talk of coalitions has entered the campaign dialogue. NDP MP Nathan Cullen stirred the discussion when he mused about his New Democrats and the Liberals forming a coalition after the Oct. 19 vote, the idea being a minority Conservative government could be topped by an NDP-Liberal coalition. Perhaps Cullen is aiming too late for such a coalition to have an effect in Ottawa. Perhaps the two parties needed to join forces well before this election campaign was even a speck in the political distance. We all know some recent political polls have been wrong. But, many have been on the mark. The latest poll at CBC’s ThreeHundredEight.com has the Conservatives and NDP in a deadlock, with the Liberals trailing. A Postmedia-commissioned poll has the Conservatives building a solid lead over the NDP, with the Liberals in third. It took a marriage of Reform (Canadian Alliance) and the Progressive Conservatives to finally knock off the Liberals, who held power for more than a decade. It appears it will take a similar union on the centre-left to oust the Conservatives for at least a four-year cycle. Based on the polls, we are looking at a minority government, with the Conservatives or NDP standing atop a shaky Parliament. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has steadfastly refused to entertain a coalition with the NDP. After this election, if the polling numbers prove correct, Trudeau may have no other choice by the time voters next fill out their ballots. — Kamloops This Week

t is clear that the governments of the day are not interested one bit, in listening to their employers, us. In the recent and ongoing debate involving Stickle Road and Highway 97 in the north end of Vernon, the ministry, once again, is more interested in getting into a disagreement with the concerned public than it is in listening to common sense. In its continual and what seems like pre-programmed position regarding that intersection, the ministry seems oblivious to the fact that it is contradicting itself just down the road. At the first open house addressing this issue, I couldn't believe the robotic stance taken by the representatives for the ministry. It didn't matter which question we threw at them, the answers were all the same. Their reasons for not wanting a light are miniscule at best. South on Highway 97, between Vernon Toyota and the Prestige Inn, they have increased the speed limit to 80 kilometres per hour from 50 kilometres per hour, immediately before an amber warning and traffic lightcontrolled intersection. The ministry claims that putting a light at Stickle would create an unsafe traffic stopping situation just after the speed zone was increased. Hello? What part is missing here, common sense perhaps? The point is, the one before Vernon Toyota is very
STICKLE ROAD Now I've heard the stupidest excuse for not putting a light at the Stickle Road intersection. Perhaps whoever said that motorists don't expect signals on high-speed highways should take a drive into Kamloops from the east. The Trans-Canada has a higher speed limit than Highway 97 and there doesn't seem to have been an inordinate number of rear-end collisions there. The solution is simple, an advance warning with adequate signing and a speed limit reduction starting at the weigh scale. It's a straight road there should be no surprises. Howard Brown

immediate, absolutely ridiculous and always has been, but, it's there, no doubt as a result of the Ministry of Transportation's infinite wisdom, (imagining a sarcastic tone is totally suitable now), while the Stickle light idea leaves lots of time and room, making it much safer. There is an abundance of visibility for traffic going northbound on Highway 97 to see the warning signs, amber warning flashing sign and traffic light itself. I stood at the exit from 27th Street where it connects
That will solve the problem plus give someone a job.

We also want to thank the City of Vernon, Ann Holmes, and Shayne Wright for allowing us the opportunity to partner with KidSport. One hundred per cent of the proceeds from our barbecue went to help kids in need through the local KidSport program. We would also like to show our appreciation to the generous community of Vernon. Your commitment and sacrifice in our community is sincerely appreciated. Thank you for supporting KidSport with your donations and participating in our community
barbecue. The goal of Okanagan Valley Baptist Church is to continue to host our annual get acquainted community barbecue in conjunction with KidSport to help the community of Vernon make a difference in the lives of people. With the help and support of generous folks like you, we will continue to see the community grow and be strengthened.

While the poop police are scurrying around collecting dog feces and identifying the offending animal by its DNA, they could also be examining the detritus left behind by other offenders. Just think if every person that bought a pack of cigarettes or a cig-
to Highway 97 at the north end of the overpass, and at an estimated 80 to 90 kilometres an hour, it took a vehicle 10 seconds to even reach the Stickle Rd., intersection at full speed. From the overpass heading north, you get two to three more seconds even greater visibility as you are elevated. Either way, that is a significantly larger amount of time and distance to adjust to slowing and stopping before you get to the intersection, than at the 48th Avenue intersection without there being a significant curve involved. In my humble opinion, the solution is simple and is definitely the light option. The way I see it: 1. A full stop light system with left-turn signals for the lanes. 2. Extend the deceleration lane heading north and increase or add one going south from the Swan Lake RV Park 3. Decrease the speed rate from 90 to 80 kilometres an hour until all are past the Stickle intersection. 4. Construction requirements involving land should be minimal, helping to preserve the wildlife habitat in that area. I certainly urge all concerned citizens to attend the open house or to e-mail or write the Ministry of Transportation. Let's show them who their bosses are and get them to make the light choice.

arillo or any other legal, smokable item was made to submit a DNA sample at the time of purchase, they could be fined for improperly discarding their butts. People that started forest fires would be easily traceable and the appropriate penalties levied. Kids buying candy bars could be made to submit DNA samples. If they litter with the wrappers, they could be tracked down and punished. People that buy alcohol could submit samples of their DNA and then we would know who throws their empties haphazardly and justice could be swiftly served. The possibilities are rife. The employment opportunities for DNA detectives would be numerous. The world would be a cleaner, safer place with Big Brother ready to pounce on even the most minor offender. I would guess that politicians of every stripe will be all over this plan. Mark Levey

Piano man boogies on over to Vernon Bandleader and founding member of the Powder Blues, Willie MacCalder is an act all on his own KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
He’s played with three bands of brothers and many legends in the business, but these days, Willie MacCalder is content to sit at his piano bench as a one-man act. A founding member of The Powder Blues Band, the Edmontonraised pianist, organist, songwriter, and vocalist has a history that reads as a who’s who in the music business. He’ll share some of those stories, along with some rockin’ blues and boogie when he joins the Les Copeland Band in concert Friday at the Prestige Hotel banquet room. Now 68, MacCalder has spent the last 50 years in the music business. “Sometimes the piano plays me, and it keeps me young,” he said. Although his father made him listen to classical music growing up, as a young boy MacCalder’s ear was more attuned to the burgeoning rock ‘n’ roll scene “I had been a radio rat since I was young fellow, listening to the Hit Parade with my mom every evening religiously. We would get half an hour of pop music on CFRN in Edmonton. We would listen to Jim Reeves and Hank Williams, and Fats Domino. This was before Elvis Presley. I was really into popular music, which was not that available at that time in the market,” said MacCalader, recalling some of his favourite tunes back then. “I was into Tutti Frutti and that wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-lopbam-boom made famous by Little Richard, Rock around the Clock and also Jack Scott’s What in the World’s Come Over You.

Windsor, Ont. and a little known hero of the folk-rock-rockabilly scene around the time of Ronnie Hawkins in the ‘50s.” It was just after that time that MacCalder developed his own craft by playing in a number of teen bands in Edmonton. In the mid-’60s, he found success with Willie and the Walkers, which featured two sets of brothers Dennis and Nick Petruck and Bill and Roland Hardie. “We had a wonderful manager named Wes Dakus, who put us on stage with so many acts, everyone from Paul Revere and the Raiders to The Guess Who. In a very short period of time, 1966-67, we were on Capitol Records and travelling to New Mexico to record with Buddy Holly’s record producer.” The band also had a number one selling single in 1967 with (Alone) in My Room, which spent six weeks on the RPM charts, the Canadian
equivalent to Billboard. The following year found the band in New York City under new management, touring nightclubs. “This was after the big emergence of artists owning their own material. That’s when we started to listen to acts like The Band and Bob Dylan,” said MacCalder. “This was also the time of the British invasion. We were basically a cover band, and had written some original material.” This, MacCalder says, was one of the reasons the band decided to split up and served as a segue to him discovering the blues. “Holger Peterson at Stoney Plains (Records) used to hire my group with classic blues acts. There was a fellow named Bob Godwin, who played guitar and a Harley Davidson, from Edmonton. He worked with Greg Kennedy, a bassist that everyone thought was Humphrey Bogart. The two of them for some unknown
reason had access to vaults on how to play blues music. They basically worked me into a style of piano playing,which I can’t begin to say what a quantum leap it was. Now I could be a band all to myself.” It was a mutual love of the blues that led MacCalder, who by this time had moved to Vancouver, to meet another set of brothers, Chicagoborn siblings Tom and Jack Lavin. In the mid-’70s the men started playing as a house band in Gastown and The Powder Blues was born. MacCalder’s keyboard and vocals can be heard on The Powder Blues’ early albums, Uncut and Thirsty Ears. However, despite their success, MacCalder decided to go at it alone. “This was 10 years after being in bands. I came to Vancouver through the band Seeds of Time in 1973 and worked with the Black Snake Blues Band and Teen Angel and the Rockin’ Rebels,” he said. “I worked with three brother teams, which all
ended in sibling rivalry and I got stuck in the middle. I was the odd man out, so I ended up going to the next thing, which equated to progress musically and self-protection mostly.” As a soloist, MacCalder developed a style of accompanying himself, with his left hand playing the rhythm and his right acting as the voice. “Now I could sit down and play all by myself and sing this blues music,” said MacCalder, adding he listened to Otis Spann playing Good Morning Blues for inspiration. “He played so slowly and soulfully, I could hear every bit in between the notes, which is more important than the notes themselves. “It sounded like three voices, and is what attracted me to the blues.” MacCalder also continued to collaborate, and was one of the last Canadian pianists to perform with the legendary Long John Baldry before he died in 2005. It was through a Vernon musician, David Carr, that MacCalder met a number of Interior players, including local guitarist Les Copeland, who played alongside Delta bluesman David “Honeyboy” Edwards before he died in 2011. “I thought he was a way smart musician. He can play anything. Les is fearless,” said MacCalder. Accompanied by Cameron Ward on bass and Scott Grant on drums, MacCalder and Copeland are looking forward to collaborating once again when they perform in Vernon. “Music comes from your heart to your head to your hands especially if the muse is in the room. With Les, the music is definitely in the room,” said MacCalder. Tickets for Friday’s concert at the Prestige Hotel are $20, and feature appetizers prepared by Bourbon Street Bar and Grill and a cash bar. Doors open at 7 p.m. with the show at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at Bourbon Street in the Prestige, East Side Liquor Company, 30th Ave Pawn, and at the door, if available.
Sister Speak brings B.C. tour to Ashton Creek Morning Star Staff
Spending more days on the road than at home is no easy feat that is unless touring is in your blood. As is the case for Canada’s emerging roots-rock band Sister Speak, which will be at Ashton Creek’s Lorenzo’s Cafe Friday. Canadian core members Sherri Anne(singer, songwriter, guitarist) and Lisa Viegas(drummer/percussionist) have endured an exceptional touring schedule throughout North America in 2015, performing more than 200 shows this past year, with most shows performed on tour. After a month long rest, Sister Speak
returns to B.C. this summer with their full band to perform at 20 venues across the province at B.C. festivals, summer night concerts and intimate settings. In addition to opening for Chris Isaak and Air Supply in 2014, recent highlights for Sister Speak include supporting Xavier Rudd in southern California May 3, performing on board Canada’s Via Rail from Toronto to Kamloops, showcases at Canadian Music Week and Junofest, and a week-long run of shows in Cabo, Mexico in June. CBC Radio has picked up Sister Speak’s lead single Chicago Dream, along with several commercial stations in southern
California. Radio host Rowley of 91XFM, one of San Diego’s leading commercial stations says, “These are some of the hardest working musicians I’ve met. Always on the road and never without a smile on their faces.” In response to Sister Speak’s success this past year and consistent touring, Machudo Cajons of Califonia has endorsed drummer Lisa Viegas with her own self-named cajon model, the Bonobo Blue, and Taylor Guitars has partnered with Sherri Anne, providing a GS mini Taylor Guitar for international touring. Sister Speak’s third member, Tolan Shaw(guitar/vocals), has a rising career of
his own, with recent highlights including song placements in TV and film and a feature at the renowned Kaaboo Del Mar Festival in August. Along with Sister Speak at Lorenzo’s will be an opening set by Tolan Shaw. Sister Speak will perform songs from their new live EP and Rise Up For Love album, featuring dynamic rhythms, mesmerizing harmonies, and elements of folkrock world and blues. Friday’s performance at Lorenzo’s Cafe (901 Mabel Lake Rd.) is at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 and reservations can be made at 250838-6700.

The East Kootenay-based Good Ol’ Goats will be at Vernon’s Record City Friday.
Goats make a stop Morning Star Staff
A popular East Kootenay band is bringing its alternative folk sound to Vernon. The Good Ol’ Goats will be at Record City Collectables Friday. “The Goats aren’t afraid to be a little tongue-in-cheek when it comes to both their music and their aesthetic. From their rickety-ol band name to their antiquated song titles and subject matter, the Goats clearly have a fascination with the old, the mystical, the expired,” said Eli Geddis, with the Vurb in Nelson. The Goats consist of Nolan Ackert
on banjo, guitar and lead vocals, Clayton Parsons on guitar, dobro, banjo and backup vocals, Theo Moore on bass and back-up vocals, Joelle Winkel on auxiliary percussion and back-up vocals, Danica Martin on trumpet, piano and back-up vocals, and Julian Bueckert on the drums. They won second place in the 2013 CBC Searchlight Contest and they were the 2013 artist of the year at the Kootenay Music Awards. The Good Ol’ Goats take to the stage Friday at Record City Collectables, 2909 30th Ave. at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 and available at the door.

Vernon shines at regatta Vernon Yacht Club has strong presence at Okanagan Women’s Regatta Carol Craske & Colette laplante Special to The Morning Star
The eighth annual Okanagan Women’s Regatta was held at West Kelowna Yacht Club on the July 4 and 5 weekend. Three keelboats from the Vernon Yacht Club attended this regatta and all three placed in their fleets. This spring a small group of women met and decided to resurrect Women’s Sailboat Racing out of the Vernon Yacht Club. So in May, 19 women began training and racing on Thursday nights with the goal of attending the Okanagan Women’s Regatta in West Kelowna. After eight weeks of training, we had two mentored boats (Phoenix and Mystique) and one non-mentored boat for the Santana fleet (Captivator) ready to travel to West Kelowna Yacht Club. Captivator, helmed by Carol Craske with crew of Edie Doerksen, Cathy Appleby and Del Welsh, placed first in the Santana Fleet. Mystique,

Phoenix, helmed by Nancy Murphy with crew of Heather Morel, Kate Stefanuk, Shelley English and coach Keith Sangster, placed third in the coached fleet.
The regatta is not only a competitive event but also a social one. There were onshore boat races, dinner and dancing and many new friendships were formed. The season wrapped up here in Vernon with a wonderful evening meal at the Vernon Yacht Club where crews formalized plans for next season.
Next year’s Okanagan Women’s Regatta will take place July 16 and 17 and training will start in the spring of 2016. For more information see http://vernonyachtclub. com/sailing/ Carol Craske is a member of the Vernon Yacht Club; Colette Laplante was skipper on Mystique during the race.
Tips to prevent blossom end rot
he much-needed rain we had last Saturday was enough to fill all the rain barrels and more. I was down to about one jug of water. What a difference it made in the garden. Everything was greener and the plants looked a lot better. Someone phoned me to ask about bottom end rot in her tomatoes. I wrote about it in previous years but here it is again. This text is taken from Twin Oaks Nursery on Jocelyne Sewell their website: “There are several issues that a gardener has to be vigilant about regarding growing healthy tomato plants, and one of those is blossom end rot, which strikes just prior to the maturity of the tomatoes. Quite a disappointment for the gardener who has tended to tomato plants for weeks and greatly anticipated eating the fruits of his labour. Blossom end rot can be prevented, even stopped after it has already begun to attack a tomato plant, with several applications of epsom salt. “Blossom end rot is caused by a lack of
A GArdener’s diAry
calcium in the garden soil. The calciumdeficient soil is just not able to bring the tomatoes to the ripe stage before the fruit rots. Blossom end rot starts out as a small dark circle on the tomato’s blossom end and will spread through the green or partially ripe tomato. “To prevent blossom end rot, work epsom salt into the garden soil before planting tomatoes. Apply one pound of epsom salt to the standard sized raised bed garden (4 x 6-8’) or one cup of epsom salt per container that tomatoes will be grown in and work into the soil. The epsom salt will then be a readily available source of calcium and magnesium for the tomato plant. “Epsom salt also promotes root growth and development for all garden vegetables and flowers and should be worked into the soil along with organic matter at the beginning of spring. A side dressing of epsom salt or watering gardening vegetables with a mixture of ½ cup of epsom salt dissolved in one gallon of water a couple of times during the growing season will keep plants healthy and growing vigorously. When applying dry epsom salt as a side dressing, be careful not to allow the epsom salt to touch any part of the plant.
“If blossom end rot strikes tomato plants, it can be stopped and the plant can go on to produce healthy tomatoes. At the first sign of blossom end rot, remove all affected tomatoes from the plant and discard. Begin watering the tomato plant with an epsom salt mixture once per week. Dissolve ½ cup of epsom salt into a gallon of water and slowly pour the entire gallon around the base of the tomato plant. The epsom salt mixture will go directly to the plant roots, and will be absorbed by the plant and stop future developing tomatoes from being afflicted by blossom.” After thinking I was free of it, I got some BER on some of my tomatoes but only the paste tomatoes. Over the years, I found that I had the most trouble with them. After I loose a few tomatoes, the rest usually are free of it and still gives me a good crop. I never had it on cherry tomatoes. I might not have put enough epsom salt in the holes. I did put some when I transplanted the peppers and the plants are the best I ever had in years. They are big, with dark green leaves, large fruits already on them and lots more coming up. For more information: 250-558-4556 plantlady1@shaw.ca

Talk, read and play to reduce childhood anxiety Julie lewis Special to The Morning Star
My children and I were so excited to be going on a spring break vacation to sunny Arizona. My father is a snowbird who spends each winter in Phoenix and this would be our first trip since my youngest was an infant. As I was booking our plane tickets and imagining the trip, my stomach tied in a knot as I realized we would have to go through airport security. My four-year-old can be quite clingy. New experiences are hard for him, especially if he is scared. I knew he would
need to walk through the airport security metal detector on his own so I pulled out my trusty early childhood teaching tools: talk, read and play. Talk: As I was telling my children about the trip we talked a lot about the airport. I explained each step in the airport security screening: first we take off our shoes and coats and put them through an X-ray machine; then we walk through the metal detector... I kept it simple. Visual information (facial expression, gesture, pictures) brings words to life. I did a little digging on YouTube
and found some childsafe video clips of people putting their belongings through X-ray and walking through the metal detector. Read: We visited our neighbourhood library and took out some children’s picture books about travelling by plane. They didn’t cover all the ins and outs of airport security but they provided more pictures, and the stories were fun to share! Play: We pretended to go on a trip. We packed our suitcases, drove to the airport and pretended to go through security. The bathroom door frame became the walk-
through metal detector and a big bubble wand became the wand metal detector. We took turns being the passengers and the security staff. It was fun! In the end, the trip was a blast and airport security was a breeze. My son knew what to expect and what was expected of him. He looked nervous walking through the metal detector but once through his big smile showed his pride. Talking, reading
and playing before a new experience like visiting the dentist or starting kindergarten helps reduce the anxiety children naturally feel. Sometimes as parents we forget to tell our children what behaviour we expect from them. Talking, reading and playing also helps children know how to behave. Julie Lewis is a registered speech-language pathologist with Interior Health.
Giving up driving can be an emotional issue — especially when dementia is the reason for the decision. But for safety reasons, families must consider the step when their family members are living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. To help local families get the conversation going, the Alzheimer Society of B.C. brings its Dementia Dialogues series to the area on Aug. 18. Dementia & Driving will offer strategies for discussing driving cessation with a person with dementia, and alternatives to driving. The workshop runs from 10 a.m. to noon at The People Place, 3402 - 27th Ave. Pre-registration is required. For information and to register, contact Carly Gronlund at 1-800-634-3399 or cgronlund@ alzheimerbc.org. The Society’s Dementia Dialogues workshops provide interactive opportunities and practical information that can be used immediately. They are designed to connect family caregivers and increase their knowledge about dementia and caregiving skills. For more information, visit www.alzheimerbc.org.

Buffy Rivard discusses Monday the skills she is learning while working at Patchwork Farms for the Kindale Developmental Association.
Food security funded RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Local food security is getting a boost while individuals looking for work learn critical skills. On Monday, the provincial government announced $50,429 so four people can get work experience through the Kindale Developmental Association and the Downtown Vernon Association. “Programs like this help to educate,” said Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, of creating public awareness about food. “It makes people appreciate where their food comes from.” Kindale will receive $40,429 and the participants will manage volunteers at Patchwork Farms at Okanagan College, develop a farm-gate market at the college, co-ordinate a gleaning program and compile operational documentation for the community kitchens and Good Food Box programs. The 30-week program wraps up in late November, and one of the participants is Buffy
Rivard, who has learned about gleaning and processing excess crops. “There are people with backyard fruit trees and they are overwhelmed by what’s produced,” she said. “We co-ordinate volunteers to go to the residences and harvest the fruit and then it’s shared.” Besides the property owner and the volunteer, local organizations receive a portion of the gleaned food to provide to residents in need. The Downtown Vernon Association will get $10,000 so two individuals can produce an operations manual for the Avenue Market. They will also conduct an asset inventory to determine ways to improve the market and urge people to shop downtown. The 32-week program is scheduled to wrap-up in late January. “The guide will ensure the Avenue Market remains relevant and sustainable for years to come,” said Lara Konkin, DVA executive director.
Work continues at railway crossing Vernon motorists are reminded of a change in traffic patterns. Crews continue to work along the 30th Avenue railway crossing, which will be closed between 28th and 29th streets for road repair from Aug. 4 to 14. “Work may start as early as 6 a.m. to accommodate train schedules,” said Tanya Laing Gahr, the city’s communications coordinator. “Please note that traffic control will be
in effect for the duration of construction and detours will be posted
in advance of road closures.” Laing Gahr added
that access to local businesses will still be possible during construction.

Rescuers flock together to save birds Morning Star Staff
Neighbours came together to rescue the pint-sized children of some frantic parent Friday evening. The parents, a pair of quail, were spotted pacing by Adam Joyce and his father-in-law Richard Dakin, as they were taking their dog Pebble for a walk in East Hill.
“At the corner of 11th Street and 35th Avenue, they came upon a pair of frantic quail parents, and three very small chicks, near a storm drain,” said Tikicia Joyce, Adam’s wife. “They noticed the quail did not run away as they approached, but instead paced to and fro, calling out.

The truck was used to block traffic while they worked. “Curiosity struck passers-by Derek Rush, Keenan Henry, and Meredith Papatsie, who stopped to lend a hand,” said Tikicia.

Shamrocks celebrate Shaw Cup title ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The last time their team won the Shaw Cup, Armstrong Shamrocks goalie Chad Pieper had no shades of grey in his playoff stubble, and sniper Jarrett Medhurst was in the stands at the Hassen Arena watching his hometown heroes. That was in 2003, when Pieper was 27 and Medhurst was 13. Both were instrumental Saturday in leading the Shamrocks to their first Shaw Cup Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League title in 12 years. Medhurst scored twice and added an assist, and Pieper made 26 saves as the hometown Shamrocks doubled the Kelowna Raiders 8-4 in the third and deciding game before a packed house at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. “I’ve looked up to a lot of these guys since I was a kid,” said Medhurst, 25, outside the raucous Shamrocks dressing room Saturday. “I’ve watched guys like the Chads (Pieper and Pounder) and (Devin) Rodger since I was a kid so it’s cool to play with them. “Winning this is something I’ve wanted to do since I was a kid. To do it at home is awesome. We thought we had a good enough team the last two or three seasons, but Kelowna has a lot of firepower and their goalie is amazing.” The Shamrocks opened Saturday’s scoring on their first shot 64 seconds into the game, an individual effort from defensive specialist Blake Frederickson, which brought the crowd to its feet. First star Andrew Schwab and Steve Clark scored to give the home team a 3-1 lead after one. The margin was extended to 7-2 after 40 minutes on the two goals from Medhurst and singles from Braidy Webb and Carston Schlaak. Schwab scored the Shamrock’s final goal. The score would have been a lot higher if not for the play of Raiders goalie Graham Cousins. He was sensational, making 56 saves to earn second star status. League commissioner Elinor Hinds presented the Rowcliffe Cup – the league’s official trophy – to Armstrong captain Chad Pounder, who immediately handed the large trophy to Pieper. The first thing Pieper did was raise the trophy to the jerseys in the rafters of late Shamrocks players Cullen Rowan and Owen Siddall. Pieper backstopped the Shamrocks to back-to-back Shaw Cup wins in 2002 and ‘03. “Back then, you’re a lot younger and you
think these (Shaw Cups) will come a lot easier. Thirteen year later, it still feels pretty good,” said Pieper, 39. “They’re all different and they’re all special in their own way. This group is a lot younger group. Back then I was one of the young guys, now I’m one of the old guys bringing a bunch of the young guys around. It’s a lot of fun.” The Shaw Cup – which the Shamrocks describe as “small, dented, second-oldest lacrosse trophy in Canada, and most beautifully ugly trophy ever” – resides permanently in the Armstrong Museum. Head coach Ryan Nitchie brought the trophy out for the team celebration on the floor and for photos. “The tide has turned in our favour and we have a young, skilled, fast team that enjoys playing together and earned this championship,” said Nitchie. “Winning at home and bringing the Cup back to this community was our goal this season and we were so pleased to win it in front of our hometown fans.” The team saluted the fans who stuck around for the trophy presentation by raising their sticks. The Raiders, who won the series opener 7-4 in Armstrong, were looking for a fifth straight league title and had a glorious opportunity to win the trophy on their home floor. But Medhurst scored four times Friday and added three assists as the Shamrocks forced the deciding game with a come-frombehind 9-7 win at the Kelowna Memorial Arena. The Irish scored the game’s final four goals. “We had a bit of a meeting on the bench and told everyone to keep it positive,” said Medhurst. “We kept the energy up.” Schwab had 3+1 while Clark and Craig Bigsby had the other markers. Pieper finished with 37 saves. The Shamrocks will host the 2015 Invitational Provincial Senior C Lacrosse Championships, featuring 10 teams, Aug. 7 to 9 at the Nor-Val Sports Centre and Hassen Arena. Armstrong will play Friday, Aug. 7, 7 p.m., against the Ladner Pioneers, and face the Victoria Jokers at noon and the Prince George Bandits at 8 p.m. Saturday. All of Armstrong’s preliminary games are at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. Other teams taking part include the Raiders, Port Moody Express, Airdrie (Alta.) Mohawks, Prince George Devils, North Shore Indians and Ridge Attack (Maple Ridge). The championship game is Sunday, Aug. 9, 3 p.m. at Nor-Val.

Bosman stump winless Rutland Morning Star Staff
Playing a good possession game helped Bosman Accounting beat Rutland Spirit 3-1 in Capri Insurance Okanagan Oldtimers 45+ Soccer League action Monday at Marshall Field. After a scoreless first half, Carl McLennan went on a run on the left wing five minutes into the second half and crossed it in to Rolf Hirschkorn who finished in the low left corner to give Bosman (2-10-1) the opening goal. Rutland (0-14-0) put more pressure on the Bosman defense but the accountants’ back line of Dan Rogers, Danny Pawsey, Kilmer Hagen and Gerard Geelkerken was very solid. Ten minutes in the second half Vernon Topsport’s man of the match, Hirschkorn, scored a beautiful second goal from 25 yards out. The Spirit responded with a goal before Erick Burnet scored Bosman’s third goal on an assist by James Cotter after a scramble in the Rutland box. In Rutland, Bryan Schenker scored
times, with assists to Brad Conlin and Shawn Wiebe, as the Turn-Key Controls Ogopogos blanked Cantina’s 5-0. The Ogopogos’ (7-6-1) passing game was on, and controlled much of the play throughout the contest. Rick Danyluk, after breaking the seal with his first goal last week off his chest, finally connected with a beauty kick this week to complete the scoring. Newbie Tim Clarke playing net was solid and consistent in recording the shut out while Ogopogos defender Dan Ondzik finally was able to play out after filling in for many games for injured keeper Brian Cope and played quite admirably, deserving honorable mention. Okanagan Spring Brewery Camels blanked a short-handed North Country Appraisals Kickers squad 2-0 at the Rutland Fields. Rick Raber scored both goals for the Camels, now 9-4-1 on the year. His first came on a header three minutes into the game – and 2:15 after
he missed an identical chance – when he was left alone by the North Country defence to score on a header off a John Davies cross. Raber added the insurance marker with 15 minutes remaining after Darren Hansen stripped the ball at half, found John Orton who sent a through ball to Raber. He scored on a blast from 20 yards. Dave Dutcher recorded the clean sheet and Paul Morgan was the Wayside man of the match with great control at midfield, then switched back to defence following an injury and played great back there as well. John Padgett scored three times in the opening half as Penticton downed the Vernon Silver Stars 6-1 at Beasley Field in Lake Country. Andrew Whiston, off a feed from Denis Chabot, scored for the Stars, who fall to 5-7-2. Elsewhere, Brown Benefits downed Sunshine Pools and RPM defeated Brandt’s Creek, both games ending 4-1.

The event is part of the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour schedule, and this 54-hole tournament is part of a major junior championship series held across the country in conjunction with the provincial bodies of the Professional Golfers’ Association of Canada. Playing in the Bantam Boys division, Cooper opened with an even-par 72 on Monday, which included a birdie on the par-5 18th hole, and sat one shot back of the leader. Cooper, 14, finished with another birdie on 18 Tuesday and shot a 1-under 71, good for a two-shot lead going into today’s final round. He’s also just two shots behind the overall leader, a 19-year-old from the Lower Mainland. Coldstream’s Dexter Weiten opened with a 92 Monday at Northview in the Juvenile Boys division, and followed that with a 93 Tuesday.

Page pockets Pan Am memories ED KLAJMAN For The Morning Star
Brittney Page would have loved to bring a Pan Am Games volleyball medal back to Vernon on her next visit home. Unfortunately for the 31-year-old, her team finished eighth in the competition, far off a podium finish. “We definitely had high expectations for ourselves,” said Page, who joined the national team in 2009 and has been the squad’s captain since 2012. “We were coming off a really good Grand Prix and we’ve been improving a lot this summer, with some pretty important wins and have been playing really solid. So coming into this I think we maybe put too much pressure on ourselves or too high of expectations, I’m not sure, but we

So just the excitement of it all was great.” Page had spent nearly a decade playing professionally in Europe – with stops in Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Finland. Then she tried something new late last year. She played in China on a three-month contract before national team duties took over again earlier this year. That will continue because in late September in Mexico there will be regional championships where Canada must finish in the top four to make it into the next stage of Olympic qualification, which will take place sometime in the first half of 2016. In the meantime, she has time for a little break and a much-anticipated trip back to Vernon. “I’m so excited, prime summertime in the Okanagan,” said Page.

Peter Diamandis, a GreekAmerican engineer, physician and entrepreneur, said, “An exponential growth is a simple doubling. One becomes two becomes four.” We are looking at responder’s redouble after partner opens one of a suit, and the next player makes a takeout double. The redouble promises at least 10 high-card points and, if opener bid one heart or one spade, denies four-card or better support for that major. After the redouble, either the opening side buys the contract, or the intervening side plays in something doubled for penalty. This deal occurred during a tournament. East, after
his redouble, didn’t expect the opponents to land in the suit where he had 100 honours, but when they did, he knew what to do. And note West’s passes - he trusted partner. His hand had decent defence, especially since it contained the spade king. What did West lead against one spade doubled? The defence didn’t slip. West accurately led the spade king. In general, whenever partner makes a low-level penalty double - which includes passing a takeout double, turning it into a penalty double - lead a trump. East overtook with the spade ace and drew three more rounds, West discarding the heart five (attitude), the diamond two (attitude) and the diamond eight (present count).
East shifted to the heart 10, which South covered with his jack. West, seeing that he had no re-entry, played low. Now declarer took the club finesse and cashed his other three minor-suit tops, but the defence had the rest for down two, plus 500. Not bad on a deal where EastWest cannot make game.

S
pacious and gracious, with plenty of curb appeal, this three-bedroom family home contains all the conveniences and amenities that today’s homeowners desire. The entrance is set back under a covered porch, offering protection from the elements in inclement weather. To the left is an old-fashioned veranda that just needs the addition of a porch swing and a couple of pots of geraniums to maximize its potential. The L-shaped foyer includes a coat closet and a powder room, both conveniently located for guests. A triangular display shelf provides a setting for plants and ornaments. Overlooking the front veranda is a study or den that is ideally located for use as a home office. The family area is located at the rear of the home, overlooking a partially covered patio and the back garden. The generously sized great room, open to the foyer through a half-wall, boasts a ceiling that slopes up to the pitch of the roof. The great room’s fireplace will warm up winter evenings, and a doorway allows access to a covered patio that will expand the living area during the summertime. The kitchen, separated from the great room and dining room by an angled work island, features an L-shaped counter configuration designed to save steps. A pantry with three double doors runs along one side of the dining room, where doors open to the patio. On the other side of the home, located at the back for privacy, is the master suite. A roomy walk-in closet abuts the ensuite, which includes a shower stall as well as a bathtub. Also on the ground floor is the laundry room, with handy access to the double garage. A second display case, this one with a curved façade, occupies a niche near the laundry room. An L-shaped staircase leads to the second floor, really a half floor. Here, Bedrooms No. 2

ARTHRITIS
Team Lends a Hand
Pain free in 2 weeks. This is what happened to me personally. I tried drugs, acupuncture, magnets and many other methods. Finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. It gave me the idea that I could help thousands of the 5 million men and women suffering daily in Canada with the worst pain on earth to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle. <For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage #1 spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night with 3 bottles costing less than $100. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON. <Cancelled knee replacement. 1 was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. <At first I was skeptical. I gradually noticed an improvement. Then I took another brand. I was surprised having so much pain again. Eventually I realized that I needed to re-order Bell. #1 NPN 80042283 Found relief again. Marie Ciraulo, 72, Oakland, CA. <Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister…Also guaranteed for sciatica. Hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.
