North Okanagan stars in Venice RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Images of the North Okanagan will dominate the big screen at one of the world’s top film festivals. Go With Me, which was shot in Enderby, Armstrong, Vernon and Lumby in late 2014, has made the cut for the Venice Film Festival Sept. 2 to 12. “To hear we are officially in is exciting,” said Rick Dugdale, producer and president of Hollywood-based Enderby Entertainment, which is named after his hometown. “Venice is one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world. It’s a validation of the film because you don’t get into Venice without having a great film.” And this isn’t the first international recognition for the film, which stars Anthony Hopkins, Ray Liotta, Alexander Ludwig and Julia Stiles.

Enderby Entertainment’s production of Go With Me, starring Alexander Ludwig, Julia Stiles and Anthony Hopkins, will be at the Venice Film Festival. The trailer was featured at the film industry’s sales market in Cannes, France this spring. Dugdale believes an appearance in Venice, Italy could provide significant
opportunities for Go With Me. “In a perfect world, it means a big distribution deal out of that festival or another festival,” he said. “What it means is exposure to the right

people, the right buyers.” It’s anticipated the film will be released in March after award season has wrapped up. And until that occurs, Dugdale is maintaining a close relationship with Hopkins, who is interested in virtually every aspect of the production. “I talk to him every couple of days,” said Dugdale. “He thinks this is one of the best films he’s done since Silence of the Lambs. You need full support of the film (from cast and crew) right through to release and we have that.” Post-production was done in Sweden and the score includes the Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra. Dugdale will be a speaker during the Okanagan Film Fundamentals symposium in Kelowna in October, and he will shoot a film this fall with Ben Kingsley in Serbia.

Ministry official stands by plan RICHARD ROLKE
Morning Star Staff
A senior Ministry of Transportation official suggests public furor won’t overturn plans for a Vernon area intersection. Murray Tekano, senior project director, was asked if the ministry would reverse its opposition to a traffic signal at Stickle Road and Highway 97 if that’s what most residents and businesses want. “We’ve been explaining why a signal won’t work. It’s something we can’t do,” he told the media during an open house at the Prestige Hotel Wednesday. “It’s not a good location for a signal.” Tekano says a light could delay traffic flow, lengthen vehicle queues and lead to accidents. Many residents at the session were not impressed with the ministry’s presentation. “They’re just not listening,” said Peggy Olson. “They have their minds made up and have the statistics to support it,” added Floyd Olson. Resident Hans Mueller was more blunt. “They’re a bunch of knuckleheads. Put in a traffic light and be done with it.” The ministry is proposing 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 turn-around access for the Silver Star RV Park area and the ministry would elimi-

“The concern here is safety and we will have a long discussion before a final decision is made.” Among those slamming the current proposal is Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director. “I’m not sure they are listening as they should,” said Macnabb of the ministry. Macnabb disagrees with the ministry that a signal will delay motorists and cause accidents. “There are lights all over the place – Aberdeen Road and College Way.”
27th Street exit. “I’m frustrated. This is sillier than the first one (proposal for no left turns),” said resident Dan Tischenko. “They keep saying safety but they’re not listening to people.” Barb Haselhorst lives on Stickle Road and she blasted ministry staff. “This is absolutely stupid. Why spend that money when a light will do?” she said. The ministry’s plan would cost about $8 to $9 million to construct while a traffic signal would be about $5 to $6 million. But beyond a traffic signal, some at the open house lobbied for a roundabout. “Go to Europe or the highway between Linden and Bellingham, Wash. and it has four or five roundabouts,” said resident Bjorn Meyer. There were also calls for a slower speed on the highway but Tekano says that’s not feasible. “We think it would increase the possibility of folks driving aggressively,” he said, adding that it’s necessary to block off the 27th Street exit to anyone making left turns from Stickle Road because of the length of the acceleration lane entering the highway. “People will be trying to merge too soon.” Tekano admits there is opposition to the current plan but he insists the ministry is serious about safety. “We know we have to make improvements and try to meet the needs of people.”

Fish endangerment casts restrictions JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Trout are now off hook, along with salmon. The provincial government is suspending all angling in Middle Shuswap River due to warm water temperatures and low flows. “There’s a few trout in there so there’s some concern,” said Mike Ramsey, manager of provincial fisheries. Along with trout, there are salmon congregating in refuge pools, which the new

suspension aims to protect. “It’s not really ethical to fish there whey they are that confined.” The suspension came in effect Thursday and runs until Sept. 30 for all angling in the Middle Shuswap River, downstream of Shuswap Falls to Mabel Lake.
“They (Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations) just don’t want any fishing.” The fish are already stressed due to the low flows and near-fatal temperatures. “The temperature is high, it’s between and 18 and 22 degrees,” said
Ramsey. “Their optimal temperature is below 15 degrees. Once you get into 22 to 25 temperatures, those can be lethal. “The best thing to do is leave them alone.” The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has also closed the Middle Shuswap and the two closures will support one another. “We’ve closed about 50 different rivers and we’re watching another 40 rivers,” said Ramsey, who hasn’t seen condi-
Police dog catches suspect Morning Star Staff
A police dog is being praised for leaping into action. On Tuesday at about 1:50 p.m., Vernon RCMP officers were conducting inquiries in the 4200 block of 20th Street for an individual wanted on an outstanding warrant. “They were very sure the suspect was in a residence and while they were working on gaining entry into place to arrest him, he took off,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “One of our officers followed in fresh pursuit.” The suspect was last seen going into a wooded area in Girouard Park. “As the individual our officers were chasing had a history involving weapons, the police dog team was called in,” said Molendyk. “Several young families using the park at the time were asked to please leave the area for safety concerns

while our officers were attempting to apprehend the suspect.” Within a short time, the police dog team
arrived and started to track the suspect. Within minutes, the dog made contact with the suspect.
“It turns out he was sitting and hiding within 20 feet of the officer that chased him,” said Molendyk. The 17-year-old suspect was arrested for pointing a firearm, breach of conditional supervision and uttering threats. The suspect was expected to appear in court Thursday.

Splatsin focus on job skills RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A local First Nation is taking steps to ensure families and the economy are sustainable. The Splatsin will train 37 people in business management and leadership. “We need to look at ways to give individuals skills so they can feed their family — the whole family, continuously on,” said Chief Wayne Christian. “The more we can invest in (human) resource development, the better the region will be. The hands we give work will help build the country and the region
we live in.” A ceremony to announce senior government funding was held Wednesday in front of a community centre being constructed by the Splatsin. “This building will be here for many years. It gives our families and children hope,” said Christian. Up to two-thirds of the grant is contributed by federal government, to a maximum of $10,000, with the remaining portion coming from the employer. The total funding for the local program is $154,000 and the band was reimbursed for$102,666.
The grant covers tuition, textbooks, software and other required training material. “It’s for short-term training which can be provided in the classroom or online,” said Colin Mayes, Okanagan-Shuswap MP. “The most valuable thing in this country is the people and they will build the country.” The provincial government is also involved in the program. “We need to work together to make skills training work for everyone,” said Greg Kyllo, Shuswap MLA.

Health care is moving up in Vernon. Along with 85 new residential care beds planned locally, Vernon Jubilee Hospital’s top two floors in the Polson Tower are nearing completion. “It’s on time and as planned,” said Erwin Malzer, Interior Health Authority chairperson. “It will be fully operational by next year.” Malzer visited Vernon Monday as part of his regional tour of the health authority. He met with local government representatives, MLA Eric Foster, the hospital administration team, physicians, staff members and more to discuss challenges and successes and receive progress reports on new initiatives and projects. “There is a beautiful, brand new floor upstairs,” said Foster of the $30-million expansion which will add 60 beds to the Polson Tower (30 on each floor). Of those, 16 will be new beds and the remaining 46 will be relocated from elsewhere in the hospital. The move ends the days of cramming four patients in a single

IHA has put out the tender for 85 new residential care beds in Vernon, along with 100 in Kelowna. “There have been multiple bids and we should hear shortly,” said Malzer. Meanwhile, the shortage of family physicians continues to be a problem in the region,
particularly for the smaller communities. “We promote the recruitment of physicians,” said Malzer. “A lot of that is working with communities to help make them more attractive.” During his tour, Malzer was also made aware of some additional issues at VJH. But he would not divulge any details. “We are aware of the challenges and we are always looking to improve,” he said, noting that there are only so many dollars to go around.

Finding friends through grief
L
ike being lost in a thick forest, with darkness closing in on you, the journey of grief is like no other. Unless you’ve been there, there is no way to explain the often unbearable feeling of losing a loved one. You are quite literally lost. Aside from the period immediately after a loss, when people surround you with love, sympathy and kind gestures, you are alone in your journey of grief. Yes, there is family and other loved ones who are also dealing with the loss. But grief is different for every person. It affects us all in a unique way. Jennifer Smith Therefore when the final arrangements have been made, the last cards of sympathy trickle in and you are left to face your grief alone, that’s when it usually hits you. Luckily for residents of the North Okanagan, there is help. Thanks to Hospice, there is a bi-annual program put on for those grieving to help them on their journey. Offered in the spring and in the fall, the group is called Finding My Way. Walking through the doors of the place where so many loved ones have made their final rest can be unnerving. But there is a comfort that instantly surrounds you as you realize that anyone in there either has, or is about to endure the same suffering as you. The same goes for those in the FMY group. Everyone has lost someone, whether it’s a parent, a spouse, a sibling or child, each of them are there because they are feeling lost in their journey of grief. Even the counsellor has dealt with her own share of grief, therefore her words come not only from her vast education in the subject, but from experience. The same goes for her trusty, volunteer sidekick, who offers a male perspective.
AT RANDOM
It seems strange at first, to open up and share your innermost feelings with a group of strangers. But if not them, then who? Most of us don’t want to burden our loved ones anymore, friends can often be distant with the subject as they are unfamiliar or we can’t bear to hear someone else put their own judgements on how we are, or should be, feeling. So having a special place to go, where no one knows your history therefore they allow you to share your full story, is incredibly relieving. Having the empathetic ears of others, without their opinions, is sacred. Hearing each other’s success stories inspires hope, while the hard times shared remind us that it’s OK to have our own bad days. And just knowing that these people truly get it, they are on the same road as you are, is encouraging. It’s not to say that the support of friends and family isn’t needed, or appreciated. Without it, one may have never made it to such a group. But having an even bigger support circle really helps to fill the holes that one’s heart is full of after any devastating loss. My group became more like a family, and our relationships continue now, even though the program has since ended. Instant connections were made between Sara, Kristin, Faith, Dot and I, who have all lost one of our parents. The same goes for Joyce, Marjorie and Brenda who share similar journeys in the loss of their husbands. Others could also relate to Dot, who has been struggling through serial losses (the loss of one loved one after another). In fact, Kristin’s own experience with serial loss, coupled with her kind soul, is likely what sparked her ongoing relationship with Dot. Meanwhile Melissa and I have also formed our own friendship outside of the group. So while we all walked through those doors at the beginning of the program as strangers, we left as friends.
The phrase, “Government for the people,” is often bandied about, but that certainly wasn’t evident at a public open house Wednesday. Instead, residents were more likely to say, “They’re not listening,” in terms of the Ministry of Transportation and its proposal for a T intersection at Highway 97 and Stickle Road instead of the traffic signal many residents and businesses want. And there was justified reason for that sentiment after Murray Tekano, the ministry’s senior project director, was asked if the agency would reverse its opposition to a signal if that’s what the public overwhelmingly wants. “We’ve been explaining why a signal won’t work. It’s something we can’t do,” he told the media before residents walked through the doors. And if the ministry has already pre-determined what it’s going to do at Stickle Road, what was the point of going through the charade of an open house and consulting with residents, businesses and local politicians. The money spent on fancy poster board, coffee and the ball room could be saved if the ministry is just going to ram its plan through no matter what. In the end, the T intersection may be the best way to improve safety at Stickle, but what is critical is that the driving public and taxpayers aren’t just listened to, but they are actually heard and their concerns are taken into account when decisions are being made. During the first open house, the ministry admits public feedback called for a traffic signal. Instead of going that direction, the ministry pushed ahead with a different concept altogether. No wonder citizens are largely cynical about bureaucracy and government in general.

Farmers market supported
s a member of the Coldstream community, I am expressing my concern that the Women’s Institute Hall is not affordable for the Coldstream Farmers Market. The fees are excessive for the smaller group of summer vendors and barely affordable the other months when there is full vendor participation in the market. Facility use bylaw 1641 sets rental fee at $25 an hour for non-profits and registered charities. All others, including the Coldstream Farmers Market, must pay $40 an hour. While council appears to have the option to waive part or all fees, no exception was made for our local farmers. This is inconsistent with specific statements in the official community plan (citizens consuming locally grown food and strong viable
LAKE COUNTRY TAXES When I received my tax notice this year, I noticed a very big increase from last year's tax notice. So then I sent an e-mail to Mayor Baker and the rest of council asking how much of the increase was for the purchase of the CN rail corridor. They then passed my e-mail on to Rose Bronswyk Kassa, financial services manager. She said for this year they only requested $60,000 to service the debt for the rail corridor and it was lumped in with the rest of the municipal taxes. I then told her that all tax increases for this should be separated on our tax notices much the same as school taxes are. Her answer to this was that the district would not be segregating this capital purchase on our tax notice. If you recall, leading up to the referendum on this purchase, Mayor Baker was telling everyone that it was only going to cost us a $27 per year increase in taxes based on a property valued at $465,000. By lumping this tax in with the rest of the municipal taxes, we will never know how much each property
agriculture) and inconsistent with community members’ feedback (to support urban agriculture including farmers’ markets in the district). Council’s disregard of its vision and its citizen feedback is baffling. While the OCP pays no attention to matters of community social connections, the weekly Coldstream Farmers Market at the owner is paying and in fact, by the time the 20 years is up, you will have paid much more than the $27 per year starting at the $465,000 level. I am asking all Lake Country property owners to call Mayor Baker and the councillor for your ward and get them to change future tax notices so we can each see exactly how much we are paying each year for the rail corridor as everyone will be different according to the value of your property. Ron Volk STICKLE ROAD Dear Mr Foster, I sent you an e-mail May 13 in which I wrote, "I suppose the only action we can take to wake up Premier Clark to use common sense over the contentious Stickle Road intersection is to not vote for you or your replacement in the next provincial election. Perhaps wiser minds will prevail before that happens." You replied, "I am currently meeting with the minister on this issue to try to resolve it with a favourable outcome." I replied, "Thank you Mr Foster, I
Women’s Hall did. The market at that facility was not just about apples, cheese and vegetables. It was a community social hub where Coldstream citizens could meet, spontaneously make connections and catch up on local events. This did and should happen in a beautiful historic building owned by the community. hope the favourable outcome is one we can all support." According to The Morning Star's lead article, "Stickle plans driving ahead," instead of a traffic light controlling access to Highway 97 from Stickle Road, the Ministry of Transportation has come up with a convoluted traffic plan. Traffic lights exist on major highways in Kelowna and Salmon Arm to name two cities in our region, and they would be just as effective controlling traffic to and from Stickle Road and Silver Star RV Park and Highway 97. Perhaps your need to balance the budget supersedes the need for safety in the North Okanagan. The Ministry of Transportation's scheme, as reported in The Morning Star, is not the favourable outcome that we can all support. Gord Harris GREAT CARE I recently went by ambulance in the middle of the night to the hospital. It was a scary experience as you can imagine. I have to tell you how wonder-
The benefits of greater community connectivity and participation have apparently been completely lost on council. It prefers the additional $15. The monetary thinking is equally puzzling. The farmers market was forced to move out. The real loss isn’t $15 an hour, it is $40 an hour. Over the summer, the only weekly event at the hall, I’ve been told, is the Sunday church group. Accepting that there are the occasional and one time private (and therefore non-community based) bookings, it is reasonable to say the Coldstream community-owned facility is grossly under utilized by its members. This is tragic. Please let me know what action will be taken to review council's policy and decision. Terry Jones ful our hospital is and how well I was treated by the professional, experienced and kind staff as I was admitted to emergency and then to ICU/CCU. We are so grateful for the life-saving treatment that was administered to me. A huge thanks to all of these wonderful people. We are very lucky to have such an establishment in Vernon staffed by such great individuals. Jim Dawe FIREFIGHTERS WONDERFUL We are extremely grateful to the BX-Swan Lake Fire Department and forestry air crews for their very quick response to the fire on Tillicum and Dixon Dam roads. The fire came to within 100 feet of our home. They dealt with the whole scenario efficiently, aggressively and professionally. The co-ordination between ground and air crews was done quickly and precise. Hats off to these men and women who give their time to help other people and the whole community. They are amazing. Thank you. Jim and Sheila Coughlin
RECYCLING I too take offence to a recent editorial where it was suggested we like the new recycling system. I feel we would do much better using the Kelowna system of recycling. They provide three bins clearly marked and they have wheels on them. Jean MacDougall

Colin Gawne raised concerns about vehicles related to Sovereign Park. “The amount of traffic is incredible in the summer and they’re not using the parking lot,” he said. “When the cul-desac area (on Ormsby Drive) is filled up, they move up the street. They take up one side of the road.” Gawne says access to his property has become difficult and while he has been involved in one accident, he says the major concern is someone may be injured. “It’s very much a safety issue for anyone walking to and from the park.” Gawne asked council for a no parking sign by his property.

RICHARD ROLKE/MORNING STAR
The District of Coldstream is investigating options for parking on Ormsby Drive. “Our street is not designed as a parking lot. There’s no sidewalks,” he said. Council members debated the merits of placing a no parking sign on part of the road. “If there’s going to
be no parking, maybe we should do the entire road but we need more information first,” said Coun. Glen Taylor. Coun. Richard Enns wants an analysis of how many motorists use the Sovereign Park
parking lot. “The parking lot seems to be full a lot and if we put up no parking signs everywhere, we will need to look at how to handle people who want to use the park,” he said.
Councillors target Cosens Bay proposal RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Coldstream politicians are stepping up their opposition to possible changes to Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. Council will write a letter about the Ministry of Transportation’s bid for a 20-metre right-ofway along Cosens Bay Road and specifically about a utility corridor beyond municipal boundaries. “We need to list the impacts it will have now that we know that utilities is a concern (part of the proposal),” said Mayor Jim Garlick. There has been some suggestion that the right-of-way, if approved and removed from the park, could be used to extend utilities to the Cosens Bay
“We need to list the impacts it will have...” — Jim Garlick
community south of the park. “What impact will it have on our existing infrastructure such as water and sewer?” said Garlick, adding that any future development at Cosens Bay could place pressure on roads within Coldstream The Ministry of Environment will make an ultimate decision on the Ministry of Transportation’s park boundary adjustment application. A B.C. Parks spokesperson recently stated
that his office is neutral during the application process but that hasn’t gone over well with Coun. Gyula Kiss. “They are supposed to be speaking up for the park and if they are neutral, who speaks up for the park?” he said. The Ministry of Transportation says a 20-metre right-of-way needs to be removed from the park so safety and maintenance issues can be addressed. H o w e v e r , Coldstream and the Regional District of North Okanagan have opposed the plan, saying the right-of-way will negatively impact the park’s ecosystem.

HIV testing promoted Morning Star Staff
Knowing your HIV status is an important part of a healthy sex life and a good relationship. The First Nations Health Authority is partnering with the Interior Health Authority on a campaign that aims to destigmatize HIV and AIDS and encourage all First Nations and aboriginal peoples, along with all sexually active adults in the region, to get an HIV test. The partnership between the two health authorities is part of
the My Health Is Sexy campaign, a public awareness campaign launched by Interior Health on World AIDS Day last year to promote HIV testing. It is estimated that 3,500 people in B.C. are living with HIV but are unaware of their status. The FNHA supports frequent HIV testing for all First Nations and aboriginal people in B.C. to determine their status, and to ensure those living with HIV are engaged with care providers who will help them access and benefit
from treatment. “We are very pleased to partner with FNHA on this phase of the My Health is Sexy campaign. Aboriginal people are disproportionally affected by HIV in many of our communities,” said Dr. Trevor Corneil, chief medical health officer for IHA and physician lead for the My Health is Sexy campaign. “By working together with FNHA and our Aboriginal partners we hope to inspire aboriginal people to be proactive by requesting an

HIV test and for those who are living with HIV to achieve wellness through treatment.” A positive HIV result is not what it used to be. Early diagnosis and treatment of HIV can improve overall health, prevent the transmission of HIV to another person, and is available for all at no cost. Although there is no cure for HIV, there are medications that when taken as prescribed will help people live longer, healthier lives. “Even if you’re in an established relationship, an HIV test is a good chance to check in with your mate, your doctor and yourself. It should be a routine part of your health care,” said Dr. Evan Adams, chief medical officer with the First Nations Health Authority. “It is important that we start the conversation about HIV. First Nations peoples need to know it is preventable and treatable — it starts with talking about it, getting a test and if necessary accessing treatment.” Information about HIV, testing, and the My Health Is Sexy campaign is available at www.myhealthissexy. com.

Airport lease extended Morning Star Staff
A major transportation hub will keep flying. The federal government announced Wednesday that it’s extending the term of its lease with the City of Kelowna for the management, operation and development of the Kelowna International Airport. The lease is being extended for an additional period of 20 years under existing conditions, and will now expire Dec. 31, 2054. “The Kelowna International Airport is a vital transportation link in the southern interior of B.C. and its value Ron Cannan extends to all sectors of the economy,” said Ron Cannan, Kelowna-Lake Country MP, during a ceremony. “I am pleased to provide this 20-year lease extension which means continued prosperity for the airport, its passengers and businesses and communities in the surrounding region.” This lease amendment will allow the City of Kelowna to invest in airport infrastructure and capital projects on airport lands that require more than 20 years to realize sufficient return on investment. “This 20-year lease extension is so important for the entire Okanagan region,” said Colin Basran, Kelowna mayor. “With security until 2054, the airport will be able to attract long-term business partners and development projects, and increase the positive economic impact that YLW has on the community.” Kelowna International Airport was built and operated by the City of Kelowna until it was transferred to Transport Canada in 1959 and was immediately leased back to the City of Kelowna under a long-term lease.
YLW’s total economic impact is 2,730 jobs and $610 million in total economic output to B.C. Serving 1.6 million passengers in 2014, YLW offers 66 daily non-stop commercial flights with six airlines to Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Seattle, Victoria, Prince George, Edmonton, Cranbrook, Whitehorse and Fort McMurray, plus seasonal service to Las Vegas, Phoenix, Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, Ixtapa/Zihautanejo, Cancun and Varadero.

For the 11th year in a row, the Greater Vernon Open demonstrated to all as to why the bocce tournament is not only the largest single-day tournament in Western Canada, but the most fun as well. With close to 70 teams in attendance in Coldstream Park, first-time contestants, Bryan Cragg and Don Deane walked away with the championship trophy and $400. First-time contestants Galina Labun and Tanya Mund were the top-placing, all-female team, winning $200. In total, more than $1,000 in cash and prizes were given away during the charity event Sunday. Started by Ed Schratter and Bill Trickey with only 10 teams, the GVO has grown to an annual event that now raises money for the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Ride Don’t Hide program.

NET, Turn-Key advance to final four Morning Star Staff
The all-Vernon North Okanagan Men’s Soccer League quarterfinals were carbon copies. Regular season champion North Enderby Timber and third-seeded Turn-Key Controls advanced to the final four with 7-0 victories at Marshall Field Wednesday. NET cruised to its win over Peters Tirecraft, while Turn-Key took care of Monashees. The timbermen will face Salmon Arm’s Eagle Homes Nation of Domination in Wednesday’s semifinal at Marshall Field. Nation of Domination, the league’s fifth-seed, went into Revelstoke and dumped the hometown fourth-ranked Stallions 4-1. Turn-Key will, for the fourth year in a row, take on Courvas of Salmon Arm in the semifinals. The match will be played in Salmon Arm. Courvas advanced with a 9-2 win over the Salmon Arm Outlaws. At Marshall Field, Peters Tirecraft was dealing with no subs and the heat as they fell behind early to the top-ranked NET. Kyle Halvorson opened the scoring 10 minutes in when set-up man Fabrice Fanfani deked two defenders before sending in Halvorson on a through ball for the goal. Fanfani was at it again five minutes later when he played the ball to Brent Poulsen, who played a nifty flick to Danny Stein, fooling defenders, and leaving Stein to walk in alone and beat the keeper. Poulsen then added one of his own on a Halvorson through ball from half, sending in Poulsen on
another breakaway and leaving the Tirecraft keeper no chance. Before halftime, Stein returned the favour to Poulsen crossing the ball on a two-on-one for the tap in. Mwiza Singogo, Kyle Fertile and Fanfani each scored and set up a goal in the second half giving the Timber the win. Victor Gouchee earned his league-leading sixth clean sheet of the year. In Turn-Key’s win, Nolan’s Pharmasave Man of the Match Kanwar Pandher opened the scoring early, converting on back-to-back chances down the wing for the early lead. Turn-Key carried a heavy possession edge and would add two more goals before the half, with Thomas Pool and David Weir (penalty shot) hitting the scoresheet. The second half saw much of the same as center midfielders Evan Moore, Enzo Paal and Jeremy Kler were magnificent in moving the ball around for Turn-Key. Pool would add his second of the night quickly in the second half, and a great passing play would be converted by Preston Tucker to make it 6-0. Nathan Gatenby would finish off the scoring for the Controls late in the game. Gregg Douma earned the wellsupported shutout in net, making the Total Restoration Save of the Game on a diving free kick save in the second half to preserve the shutout. The league’s Gibson Cup championship will be played Wednesday, Aug. 12, at Marshall Field.

Cooper conquers Northview field ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Braeden Cooper won his age group at a Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour event at Surrey’s Northview Golf and Country Club.
Stay out of trouble, sink some putts, have fun. It all added up to a winning formula for Vernon golfer Braeden Cooper, who captured the Bantam Boys division at the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s Odlum Brown Classic PGA of B.C. Junior Championship by seven shots Wednesday at Surrey’s Northview Golf and Country Club. The 14-year-old Vernon Secondary School student fired rounds of 72-71-73 to finish even-par, seven shots ahead of North Vancouver’s Sean Buckles, for his first Maple Leaf tour victory (has one secondplace finish). Throw in a practice round score of 70, and Cooper was two-under for 72 holes. “My driving was a big key,” said Cooper. “I think I missed only three fairways in three
days. My putting was average on the first two days, but I made three putts over 20 feet today (final round). “This tournament was a good chance to size up against my age group in B.C. and it feels awesome to win. All my work finally paid off.” Cooper entered Wednesday’s final round with a two-shot lead over Buckles. He increased the advantage to eight shots after the front nine. “I just wanted to go out and play my game,” said Cooper. “I knew if I played a good round I could win. I wanted to try to make sure I kept the lead or kept close to Sean.” Cooper shared the win with his dad, Roy, and uncle Al Cooper, who walked all three rounds in support. The Cooper brothers were joined in the gallery Wednesday by Braeden’s longtime friend Dexter Weiten, who missed the
cut in the Juvenile Boys division. Cooper’s 216 total would have placed him third if the tournament had an overall leaderboard instead of split into divisions. Only the Junior Boys division winner, Connor McLellan of Chilliwack, at 213, and Juvenile champ Khan Lee of Surrey (215) had better scores than Cooper. The result gives Cooper a huge confidence boost heading into the 2015 Maple Leaf Junior Tour Ford Series event Aug. 10 and 11 at Predator Ridge, and the B.C. Juvenile Championships Aug. 18-20 at Spallumcheen. “I know I can compete with guys that are older than me,” said Cooper. “My confidence is good. The upcoming events will have older guys, too, and if I’m playing well enough and play like I can, I should be up there.” n Four Vernon golfers missed the cut, and a fifth with-
drew, following the first two rounds of the B.C. Senior Men’s Championship at Swaneset Bay Resort Course in Pitt Meadows. Mark Longworth of the Vernon Golf Club fired rounds of 80 and 86 for a 166 total, missing the 36-hole cut mark by only three shots. Jim Ryan of Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club missed the cut by four after rounds of 82 and 85 for a 167. Greg Betts of Vernon shot 88-84-172, four better than clubmate Michael A. Sheldon, who went 93-83-176. Eric Hoffman of Predator Ridge made the cut with rounds of 77 and 81 for a 158 total, but withdrew from the event. Former Hillview pro Lance Lundy, now of Pemberton, was in eighth place going into Thursday’s final round, nine shots back of the leader, John Gallacher of Burnaby.

Strong second half propels Impact to victory Morning Star Staff
The Goplen Controllers lost more than a soccer game Tuesday night at Marshall Field #4. The Gray Monk/Longhorn Impact stymied the Controllers 6-1 Tuesday night in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Master’s play. Controllers’ striker Melissa Henson went down in a heap with an apparent knee injury after a driving attempt towards the Impact net. She was helped off the field and taken to hospital with a suspected season-ending knee injury. Shawn Yargeau corralled a lovely corner from Michele Wernicke and put the Controllers ahead 1-0. The Controllers couldn’t build any momentum in the second half despite a few great scoring opportunities from Emma Louie, Krista Backer and Leah Mulvihill. With a more combined effort and better passing in the second half, Kim Wiebe scored a corker from 18. She was named MVP. Nicole Watson found the back of the net in her second game with the Impact. Alicia McReary and Yvonne Rogers added singles. Stacey Cover registered the sixth marker after hammering home a back pass at the top of the 18. Derri Ann Cooper was rock solid in net.

runner Cheryl Roddis controlled the right side of the field playing three positions to cover the injured players. The North Enderby Timber Celtics came from behind late in the
match to bounce the Ball Busters 2-1 at Marshall Field #5. A defensive collapse in the opening minutes by the Celtics resulted in a turnover, and the Ball Busters took advantage, leaving keeper Casey Benz no chance at a save. The Celtics changed formation in the 70th minute to apply more pressure and the move paid off. Ashley Krause stole the ball at half and unleashed the goal of the year for NET, a shot that NASA declared safe for orbit from 45 yards to even it up. Rolling with the momentum, Genevieve Nice set up Alanna Young at the top of the box for a one-timer and the lead with five minutes remaining. Carly Smith was like a Swiss army knife for NET, playing every position effectively. The Little Tex Outlaws extinguished the AF Blazers 7-2 at Marshall Field #1. Outlaws received scoring from Tessa Coulthard, Kira Lee, Maria Thorlakson and Emily Allingham in the final 15 minutes of the first half. Woman of the match Jen Knopp, Silken Smart and Coulthard each added a goal in the second half. The Blazers added a pair of goals in the final five minutes. The top two Div. 1 scoring teams combined for seven in the opening 45 minutes before Peacock Sheridan Group of Kelowna pulled out a 5-3 win over Salmon Arm’s Glenn Power.
Vernon’s Kelsey Thompson set the Pacific Western Athletic Association on fire with another stellar volleyball season with the College of the Rockies Avalanche in Cranbrook. “We had a great team, everyone clicked and we played with some great schemes,” said the fourth-year student. Thompson, who turns 22 in September, spent five years at power for the Fulton Maroons. She just turned in the best season of her college career. A left side attacker,Thompson led the Avalanche to a birth in provincials for the first time in school history and was their top offensive threat. Thompson tied for first with 309 digs, averaging 3.67 a game. She was first in kills with 286,
averaging 3.4 a game, 33 aces and finished second in total offensive stats with 331 and averaged 3.94 a game. She was named Pac West 1st team all-star and was named to the 1st all-star team at provincials. The Avalanche placed fourth in provincials, losing the bronze medal game to the Capilano Blues 3-0 (25-16, 25-14, 25-19). Thompson was player of the match with nine kills, one ace and 16 digs. “It was tough, we expected to do better, but we had injuries and there’s not much you can do about that,” said Thompson.“It’s just extra motivation now. We know what we have to do to be successful next year.” Thompson was the oldest on the team and has been a co-captain both years with the

With a tourism and recreation diploma under her belt, Thompson is working

Clippers high on Voth JADON FRANK Briercrest Athletics
Armstrong’s Victoria Voth brings vast athletic experience to the Briercrest College (Sask.) Clippers women’s basketball team for the 2015-16 season. The 5-foot-10 forward began playing basketball at a young age and has played a number of positions. “I started playing basketball when I was seven years old in Abbotsford through Athletes in Action,” said Voth, a graduate of Pleasant Valley Secondary. “I played as a junior in Grade 9 as a centre and played in one senior tournament, then moved up to senior in Grade 10 as a centre.” Victoria Voth Voth made the U17 UBCO Junior Heat as a forward for the summer season of Grade 11, and then played senior boys in Grade 12 as point guard because there was no girls team. Voth’s teams have been successful throughout her high school career. “We made appearances at AA Valleys in Grades 11 and 12,” she said. “I also attended B.C. Basketball tryout camps in Grades 10/11. I gained approximately 20 MVP shirts and 1,500 points throughout my high school career. “We had an 18-3 season with UBCO Junior Heat. We won all but one of our tournaments including the Edmonton Swoosh Series. “My favorite memory of high school basketball is sinking an alley-oop to win the game in playoffs of Grade 10 that sent us to Valleys.” Briercrest women’s basketball head coach Dwight Olney is excited to have Voth headed to Caronport, Sask.
“In Victoria, the Briercrest women’s basketball program gains a versatile athlete who has not only played different sports, but has played all five positions on the basketball court,” said Olney. “She’s tough (played boys’ rugby for three years), she’s quick and she’s a great leaper (from her high jumping days). Following on the heels of brother Adam (who played for the Briercrest hockey team), Victoria is poised to make her mark on this new and exciting women’s basketball program.” Voth competed in several other sports in Armstrong. “I also swam competitively with Salmon Arm Sockeyes for three years and also played volleyball, soccer, rugby and track,” said Voth. “I also danced for five years, two of those being on the travelling Adrenaline Dance Team at PVSS which has received dance scores all above the 90s for this competitive season.” Voth has also been on the honour roll through Grades 9-12, and the Principal’s list for Grades 10 and 11. She was selected as Athlete of the Year for all years eligible (Grade 9 and 10) and took the Steven Ross Athletic Memorial Award in Grade 9. Voth, whose father is a dairy farmer, is excited to step onto the Briercrest campus this fall. “I am extremely looking forward to come to Briercrest to strengthen myself as an athlete and improve on my basketball IQ, as well as strengthen my relationship with God,” she said. “I am so excited to train and build on my playing ability with other girls that love Jesus and all have the same mindset as I do. I am planning on studying general studies with a minor in kinesiology, and I cannot wait to apply myself to this field of study.” Caronport is a village with a population of 919 located 21 kilometres west of Moose Jaw.
The Ver non Recreation Complex pool is where Steven Vander Meulen learned to swim. And now, the former Vernon Kokanee Swim Club and Canadian Olympian is returning to teach young swimmers. Vander Meulen, 46, has been named the new head coach of the Kokanee, effective Saturday. “It’s pretty exciting and I’m really excited,” said Vander Meulen, who has spent the last couple of years as head development coach with the Chena North Shore Swim Club in North Vancouver. “It’s going to be a lot of fun. I have a lot of knowledge to share as I’ve been a swimmer and a coach for 40 years.” Vander Meulen swam for Canada at the 1988 Olympics in the 4x100 freestyle relay, finishing in ninth place. He is also a former world record holder in the 4x100 medley relay with the University of Calgary Swim Club – a mark which stood as a world record for six years. Vander Meulen has competed at the Olympics, world championships, Pan Pacific Championships, Pan American Games, Commonwealth

Games and Universiade. With 44 senior national gold medals in relays and individual swims, a silver medal at the Pan Am Games, and a silver and a bronze at the Commonwealth Games, Vander Meulen wants to share his experiences and expertise. “I’m looking to help each kid advance the best they possibly can,” said Vander Meulen, who, along with his brother, Gary, was inducted into the Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame in 2011. “I have a lot of patience with kids. It’s a long-term project for everybody, and we’ll get everyone moving faster.” Vander Meulen
retired from competitive swimming at 27, and turned to coaching. He began with the University of Calgary, and also had stints with clubs in Calgary, Duncan, Kelowna and North Vancouver before accepting the job with the Kokanee. “I am just really looking forward to being back as a Kokanee, and being closer to family,” said Vander Meulen. The club is equally excited to have one of its recognizable alumni return as head coach. “Steven has a pretty storied history in this city and in swimming so we were very excited when he applied for the job,” said Jason Shortt, vice-president of the Kokanee. “It’s a positive step forward for the club.” Vander Meulen is one of a handful of Kokanee graduates honoured with a banner that hangs in the rafters above the water at the Vernon Rec Centre pool. The Kokanee club will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2016.

The
Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder AFTER A REDOUBLE, OPENER MAY PASS Richard Nixon, while chatting with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the surface of the moon in 1969, said, “As you talk to us from the Sea of Tranquility, it inspires us to redouble our efforts to bring peace and tranquility to Earth.” If the opener bids one of a suit, the next player makes a takeout double, and the responder redoubles to show 10-plus points, either the opening side buys the contract, or the other side plays in something doubled for penalty. As a consequence, all doubles by the opening side are for penalty and all passes below game are forcing. Look at today’s auction. Over North’s redouble,
East ran to two clubs. Note that this promised no values because the logic of the auction (an opening bid, a takeout double and a redouble) made it clear that fourth hand had next to nothing. Now, if South had bid immediately, it would have announced a minimum or subminimum opening. Here, South, after making a forcing pass, learned that his partner had gameinvitational values with exactly three-card spade support, and jumped to four spades. West led the club queen. After declarer covered with dummy’s king, East won with his ace, cashed the club 10, and shifted to a heart. Since West was sure to
have the heart king for his takeout double, South won with his ace. Then, if he had played a trump immediately, he would have lost one spade, one heart and two clubs. Instead, declarer cashed three diamond tricks to discard his heart loser. South’s 10 tricks were six spades, one heart and three diamonds.

More changes from review
JEFF NAGEL Morning Star Staff
Wineries, breweries, cideries and distilleries with licensed lounges can now sell patrons liquor they didn’t produce. Until now, a distillery couldn’t sell anything other than the spirits it produces
– a glass of B.C. wine was off limits – and a winery couldn’t oblige if one guest at a table wanted a beer instead of the local grape. Those lines are erased under the latest change stemming from B.C.’s liquor policy review. But there will be a limit
– a maximum of 20 per cent of sales by a given producer can consist of liquor produced off-site. That’s intended to keep the focus on unique local offerings. “We are doing away with B.C.’s archaic liquor rules,” Attorney General Suzanne Anton said, adding the change
will give more choice to consumers while supporting B.C. tourism and small businesses. Craft Distillers Guild of B.C. president Tyler Dyck said the move opens the door for craft brewers, vintners and distillers to cross-promote each other. The new rules also apply to
special events, so a wedding or other event at a winery or other liquor producer will no longer have to get a special occasion licence to serve alcohol. Anton indicated more reforms may be coming in areas where “further red tape can be cut.”

Local musician Chris Harwood-Jones will be live in concert at Powerhouse Theatre for the first performance of his debut album Morning Star Staff
By the time he was 17 years old, Chris Harwood-Jones was working as a professional musician. At 21, he recorded some of his original music and was featured on a radio station in Winnipeg, his hometown. That early gig as a bassist with Ron Paley, Kas Siwik and others was put aside when Harwood-Jones pursued a vocation in the Anglican Church. Now in his 40s, the musician has returned to music both inside and outside the church. His solo album, Unhooked, was released in November and includes guest appearances by Alain Caron, Bill Ray, Mike Janzen and Kim Richardson. On Tuesday, Harwood-Jones takes the stage at Powerhouse Theatre for the premiere performance of his debut album. The music itself is instrumental jazz fusion, a hybrid of rock and jazz pioneered by Miles Davis and the signature style of guitarists like Jeff Beck and Allan Holdsworth. “The music is notoriously difficult to play and in order to complete the album, master instrumentalists were recruited from Toronto, Montreal and San Diego,” said Harwood-Jones. In his review of the album, Morning Star music reviewer Dean Gordon-Smith called the music “surprising...an update of Jeff Beck’s Guitar Shop...and a startling jazz rock discovery...a guitar head’s wet dream.” In order to pull together a live performance, Harwood-Jones has assembled a dream team of local musicians: keyboardist Henry Piovesan, bassist Cam Ward and drummer Matt Harwood-Jones. Piovesan began playing piano at age four and is a graduate of Boston’s prestigious Berklee College of Music, studying under Chuck Mangione, Mike and Pat Metheny, Gary Burton and Quincy Jones. He has played and toured with his own

Despite his concerns about missing school and his distaste for whacky adventures, Quentin and his friends drive from Florida to New York to find Margo. During the first and finest road trip of their young lives, Quentin begins to discover the truth and meaning of love, friendship and imagining people complexly. We say, “You can’t love what you don’t know.” TAYLOR: Paper Towns is based on the novel of the same name, written by John Green, who penned The Fault in our Stars, which became a huge hit movie last year.

Paper Towns seems to be about a misdirected expectation turning into an unrequited love that, at the very least, allows for our young characters to learn something about life. While it’s true that all philosophical investigations ultimately end at the vast ocean of personal responsibility, I fear in Paper Towns
audiences might misinterpret this age-old message: You can worry about life, or you can live it. You can spend your moments agonizingly scrutinizing, or dancing with the people you love. Don’t you wonder if modern kids will think this is a movie about a guy who only wastes time? HOWE: Quentin is a teenager wasting his time. Just like I did for an hour and a half at this piece of tripe. Paper Towns is paper thin. The

story is weak and the acting is so wooden it’s a good job there’s a fire ban on at the moment, because it would catch light quickly. I can’t believe that this is written by the

same author who wrote TFIOS. Where in Fault you had a strong relationship between the two characters, in this it’s a little one-sided, with Quentin trying to track down his love interest. The thing is, she ran away for a reason. Now you have a crazy, lovestruck stalker travelling across the States to tell Margo he’s in love with her. I wasn’t impressed. TAYLOR: “Crazy” is a bit much, but I agree that there’s not a lot of story here. However, there are funny conversations amongst Quentin and his friends. The film moves at a snappy pace, at no point was I bored. I had prepared myself to be disappointed by the reasons Margo disappears, then I was. I didn’t expect a sappy Hollywood ending, but I expected something. Without exploring the film’s thematic depth, we are left with: Boy meets girl, boy chases girl for a long time to no avail, life goes on. That, in and of itself, is cause for concern in modern cinema, so I reward an extra half point for bravery. — Taylor gives Paper Towns 3 atlases out of 5. — Howe gives it 1.5 album covers out of 5.

Armstrong brings music to the park Contributed
Warm summer evenings are the perfect time to enjoy music in the great outdoors, and Valley First Music in the Park is pleased to announce that the Darlene Ketchum Quartet will be playing in Armstrong on Aug. 7. Ketchum started singing solos in church at the age of three, and found her musical passion a few years later in the soul, gospel, funk, and jazz music of the 1970s. The vocal freedom of soul, combined with the rich chords and funky laid-back groove, continue to inspire her songs today. Ketchum performs a variety of music including well-known covers, soul tunes, jazz standards, gospel, R&B, funk and her original tunes. She is influenced by Whitney Houston; Earth, Wind and Fire; Andrae Crouch and many more.
Valley First is proud to sponsor the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce Music in the Park series all summer long until Aug. 28 in Memorial Park, Armstrong. As well as presenting the series, Valley First will also be promoting hunger awareness through its Feed the Valley program each evening. Please support the Feed the Valley program by bringing a nonperishable food item to Music in the Park or making a donation at the nearest Valley First branch, on line through www.valleyfirst.com or through the Food Banks B.C. online donations portal.

Gallery Vertigo will be holding a special fundraiser in honour of Ada Evelyn McMechan (née Kidner) (19151990) this weekend. McMechan was a longtime Vernon potter and painter who settled on Okanagan Lake with her husband Archie after the Second World War. She studied and practised art under Ernst Lindner, Topham Brown, Franz Poll, Leroy Jenson and others, and gained a notable reputation for her pottery and specifically for her glazes. Her pottery was widely collected throughout the North Okanagan from the lat-
ter 1960s through the early ‘80s. McMechan also taught glazing and pottery at Okanagan College briefly toward the end of her life. Several of her pieces are in the permanent collection of the Vernon Public Art Gallery. A sale of some of the remaining pottery from her collection will be held at Gallery Vertigo today from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from noon to 4 p.m., or while supplies last. Proceeds from the sale will be split between Gallery Vertigo and the Ada McMechan estate. Sale will be held at the gallery, #1-3001 31st St., Vernon. For more information, email the gallery at galleryvertigonoaa@ gmail.com.

E
Blue, How Beautiful
nglish art rockers Florence and the Machine beat the third album jinx with How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful. The songs combine soul power propulsion and more than a hint of Gothic drama. Singer Florence Welch takes Dean Gordon-Smith some of the Byronic edge of her previous work and hits it with choral effects and gutsy British soul. Welch’s midrange pitched voice has the power to blow some doors off but it’s her expressive delivery that moves people. The band and producers Markus Dravs (Mumford and Sons, Coldplay) hook up to bear down on a set of songs that allow Welch to claim the space between operatic grandeur and moody rock
Street SoundS
ambiance. Delilah takes off on an Annie Lennox-inspired soul drama that’s a high point of performance on an album of driven music. Although she often sounds like she’s singing from a rocky crag over a wind-whipped moor and cultivates an Arthurian appearance, Welch sings from a deep place that’s easily recognized. Ship To Wreck is a confessional blast of an anthem that sounds sincere – not an easy feat. There’s a soulful urgency that suggests the acceptance of singing personal songs. St Jude goes one further, sounding like something between a hymn and a prayer – an atmospheric contemplation. The groove that’s a presence throughout How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful goes full force on Mother. Welch’s performance here starts restrained and keeps building, bringing in the choral textures that are layered through the recording. They (Florence and the Machine) hone in on a wave length that brought the strongest elements of their earlier work down to this collection of songs – atmosphere, beat and vocals that burn.

Healthy smiles start with daily care Carol Gulliford Special to The Morning Star
The dental care you provide for your child sets the stage for healthy adult teeth. Knowing what to do on a day-to-day basis will reap huge benefits for not only your child’s happiness and well-being but also for your pocket book. A daily oral care routine for your children prevents decay and helps empower them to make dental health a lifelong priority. Baby teeth are just as important as adult teeth. They help children speak clearly and eat well. They also help form the jaw and hold space for adult teeth to grow into. Your child will have baby teeth until they are 12 to 13 years old. Here are some tips to help parents and caregivers keep those tiny teeth bright and healthy. Avoid transferring bacteria to your child. It is best to avoid putting an object that has been
in your mouth into your baby’s mouth. Babies are not born with decay-causing bacteria but these bacteria can be transferred from parents or caregivers to baby. Licking a soother, sharing a toothbrush or spoon when testing a child’s food are some ways germs can be passed on to your child. Replacing your child’s toothbrush every three months also reduces exposure to decay-causing bacteria. Clean your child’s teeth every day. Baby teeth are at risk for decay as soon as they appear. Before teeth appear, wipe your baby’s gums with a clean, wet cloth once a day, every day. Once teeth appear, brush with a rice-size amount of fluoride toothpaste twice a day, every day. Once all baby teeth are in (about three years old), increase the amount of toothpaste to a pea-size amount. A parent needs to brush their child’s teeth until they can write, not print,
their own name. Lift the lip. Once a month, lift the lip to check for white or brown spots on the teeth. These spots are the earliest signs of tooth decay. Avoid juice, milk and sweetened drinks between meals. Give plain water for thirsty children between meals. Frequent sipping on juice, milk and sweetened drinks throughout the day increases your child’s risk for tooth decay. Limit milk and juice to regularly scheduled meal and snack times. When providing juice make sure it is 100 per cent unsweetened. Never put baby to bed with a bottle containing these beverages. Plain water is best. Pack dentally healthy snacks. Fresh food is best. Give healthy snacks like fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products, meats and grains. Sugary or starchy foods that stick to the
teeth can increase your child’s risk of tooth decay. Visit your dental professional. The Canadian Dental Association recommends the first visit to be six months after the first tooth appears, usually by one year of age. Talk to your dentist about applying sealants to the first permanent molars to prevent tooth decay. Regular check-ups keep teeth healthy and cost less than treating dental problems.

lumbar support, lights, leather seatsupport fog lights ing surfaces, a power sunroof, and LED signature daytime running lights. While it might not be everyone’s first choice in colour, the Jetta diesel’s Toffee Brown Metallic looks like a cold glass of root beer on wheels. Yum. I found it to be refreshing and different. As for the ride and handling, this Jetta does not disappoint. One of my favourite features – aside from the 150 horsepower and 236 horsepower from its 2.0L, turbo engine – is how it handles. The steering weight gives enough feedback to the driver to make tight turns engaging. And when paired with the DSG transmission, not only is city traffic more manageable, but less work for your left leg! If you find yourself towing a lot, or even wanting to go off the straight and narrow, consider the 2015 VW Touareg TDI. With ample room for five inside, this SUV comes with all the right touches. The refreshed interior design and styling is highly appealing to those who want a posh truck, without paying the equivalent price of its familiar equivalents: the Porsche Cayenne Diesel or the Audi Q7 TDI. The Touareg’s starting MSRP comes in at $55,275 and goes from there.
The Execline is the top-of-the-line trim and starts at $69,575. Okay, that’s a decent amount of coin, and it’s not for everyone, but all trims of Touareg come with the same great 3.0L, turbocharged, V6 engine offering 240 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. This engine is then linked with an eightspeed automatic transmission. The panoramic sunroof lets in a copious amount of daylight onto the Terracotta Brown Vienna Leather seats and into the cabin. A strong point of VWs as long as I can remember is how its cabin says so much with saying so little. For example: the centre stack. The perfect combination of buttons and touchscreen make the infotainment so easy to use and one that is not hard to navigate. Then there’s the fuel economy. In the city, it uses an estimated 12.0L/100km in the city and 8.1L/100km on the highway. Not bad for a vehicle that weighs in at 2,130 kg and has allwheel drive. There are a couple more TDI options for you, too. There’s the larger Passat sedan and then there’s the funky Beetle. Visit www.vw.ca for more information. Alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Vivian Isobel Costerton
Vivian Isobel Costerton (nee McClounie), born in 1934, passed away in her sleep on July 19, 2015. She was surrounded by love and the comforts of home when she slipped her hand in His and went home. She is predeceased by her loving husband of 57 years, Bill, and her son Johnny as well as her parents Colin and Dorothy McClounie. Those who mourn her passing include her sisters Jean (Harry) and Ruth, and her children Diane (Duncan), Sheila (Darrell), Bob (Kathy) and Nancy (Paul). Her grandchildren were her greatest joy and they will miss the Granny who impacted their lives so wonderfully. Her love is with Byron (Jelena) and their kids Adrijana and Lincoln, Allyssa (Cory), Laura, Leighton, Meghan, David, ScoƩ, Liam, and Nicola. Vivian͛s life was interesƟng and rewarding. Much of her energy was spent in the service of children and the community. ‘Vimy’ was born and raised in the Coldstream Valley and aƩended high school in Vernon. She aƩended normal school and taught in elementary schools in Vancouver and London Kntario before and aŌer her marriage to Bill in 1955. In 1960 they journeyed to India with Diane and Johnny, in service of the Anglican Church, to help establish a medical school and for Bill to teach there. Sheila was born in 1962 in Vancouver before they returned to conƟnue work in India. Prior to Bob’s arrival, they moved to England and then to Montreal before Nancy was born. A transfer to Calgary in 1970 enabled them to put down roots and Vivian dedicated herself to service of her family, her church, her community, and charitable organinjaƟons. She served for many years with the CysƟc &ibrosis &oundaƟon on the local, regional, and naƟonal levels. In 1992 they moved to Montana where she was a dedicated volunteer in schools and church. A move back to Kamloops in 2004 brought her great joy as she relished Ɵme with children and grandchildren. She was very hospitable and gathered friends around every table. &or the vast majority of Vivian’s life, she was engaging, energeƟc, hardworking, generous, public spirited, acƟve, and full of love and aīecƟon. Her health in the last stage of life made things diĸcult but she strived to remain gracious and friendly. The family wishes to edžtend their thanks to the staī at Berwick on the Park Brio unit who cared for Mom wonderfully in her last months. A celebraƟon of Vivian’s life will be held at St Paul’s Cathedral Kamloops, at 11:00 am, on August 4 followed by her internment at the Pleasant Valley Cemetery in Vernon BC at 2:30 pm. In lieu of Ňowers, please donate to the CysƟc &ibrosis &oundaƟon in Vivian’s memory.

Known as “Big Joe,â€? Uncle Joe, Dad, Opa and Santa to many, Joe Nussli passed away July 28, 2015 in Vernon, B.C. Joe is survived by his brother Werner (Gerda) Nussli of Calgary; his sister Marie (Sigi) Lehmann of Calgary; his daughters Tessa (Larry) Towne of Maple Ridge; Natalie (Mike) Roberts of Vernon; grandchildren Travis (Jenn), Kate (Dale), Riker (Therese) and Austin, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his sister, Margereta, and his brother, Hans. Born April 7, 1926 in Bonningsted, Germany to Fridolin and Amanda Maria Marta Nussli, Joe moved to Canada December 12, 1951, landing in St. John, N.B. before heading to Kingston, Ont., where he worked on a dairy farm. He moved to Calgary, Alta. in 1952 to work at the Palliser Hotel as a meat cutter in the kitchen. He then headed to Golden, B.C. April 1, 1955 to work at the Wenger family sawmill. A skilled cook, Joe cooked in logging camps and at Big Bend CafĂŠ. He later worked at the Evans Sawmill. He and his former wife, Ingeburg, were the proud parents of daughters Tessa and Natalie, and the family moved to Vernon in February 1977. Joe spent many years as a foreman at Riverside Forest Products until his retirement March 26, 1991. But retirement didn’t slow Joe down; he kept himself busy by cooking, entertaining family and friends at backyard gatherings, swimming at the Rec Centre pool and playing Santa at countless Christmas parties over the years. To generations of children, a visit from Santa Joe was the highlight of the holiday season. The family gives special thanks to the caring nurses on 2W at Vernon Jubilee Hospital and Dr. Louis Boucher. A service for Joe will be held Saturday, August 1 at 2 p.m. at First Baptist Church, 1406 - 32nd Avenue, Vernon. “Wherever you are, you’ll pull up a chair, tell a few stories and make a new friend.â€? — Love you, Dad xoxo
The Gibson Family would like to thank everyone who attended Ian’s 80th Birthday Celebration and for all the cards and good wishes. Also thanks to the Village Green Hotel Pub for the venue.
