The Northern Lights dance across the sky above Silver Star Mountain Tuesday night. The bright dancing lights of the aurora borealis are actually collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the earth’s atmosphere, according to the Northern Lights Centre in the Yukon.
A 30-year-old North Okanagan man died from injuries suffered in a single-vehicle accident Friday morning in Spallumcheen. An off-duty officer discovered the accident at 4:20 a.m. at Highway 97A and Eagle Rock Road. “The investigators have determined the vehicle was northbound when it jumped the median, crossed the two southbound lanes of traffic and went into the ditch,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “The vehicle rolled and landed on its roof.” The Armstrong Spallumcheen Fire Department was called and used the Jaws of Life to extract the driver, the lone occupant of the vehicle. The man was transported to Vernon Jubilee Hospital by ambulance where he succumbed to his injuries. No name has been released.
Community watch aims to fight crime ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Extra ears and eyes to protect a community are always a good thing. The City of Enderby is planning to launch a community watch program in the fall to help combat minor crime issues in the community. “We’ve got some people that are in everybody’s faces, people drinking in public, some that think nothing of riding their bikes right on the highway,” said Enderby Mayor Greg McCune.
“The RCMP’s job is to help the community police itself.” — Cpl. Todd Bowden
“We’re almost believing the mentality in Enderby is ‘well that’s just what it is.’ We need people to start making calls.” The city will talk with businesses in the downtown core and with people along the Stk# 15-585B

River Walk. In September, the annual business walk along the river will allow council to further push the new program which has been discussed with new Enderby RCMP Cpl. Todd Bowden. “What the new corporal encourages, is if a person is in immediate danger or threat, call 911,” said McCune. “If a neighbour has more traffic going to their house than an Amway salesperson, call Crime Stoppers.” Bowden said his detachment is encouraged by any municipal government that is hands-on when it comes to crime preven-

tion initiatives. “They do seem to understand that the RCMP’s job is to help the community police itself,” said Bowden. Important phone numbers like the RCMP and Crime Stoppers will be made available on signage, and door and window stickers. “Our goal is to tell the community to please make the calls (about crimes),” said McCune. “If you feel like you may not be getting the follow-up you need, contact a city councillor or myself.”

Tax phone scam still making rounds ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
If the tax man’s phoning, don’t give any personal or banking information. Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP have again, for the second time this month, issued a warning about a Canada Revenue Agency scam that has hit the area. A person will receive a phone call from someone claiming to be from Revenue Canada, saying that taxes are owed. The victim is pressured to pay the allegedly owed
taxes immediately over the phone. If the victim hesitates, the scammer threatens that the RCMP will come and arrest them. In at least one instance, a scammer has phoned claiming to be an RCMP officer on the way to the victim’s residence to put them in jail. “Our office has been inundated with calls from the public about this scam,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “Just today (Thursday), our switchboard operator said she has received at least 40 calls from the public.”
If you receive a call like this, do not disclose any personal or banking information. Ensure that you verify any claims with Canada Revenue Agency yourself prior to taking any action. More information pertaining to this scam is available on Canada Revenue Agency’s website. If you have been a victim of this scam, please report it to your local police and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca.

A fast response and help from Mother Nature prevented a Spallumcheen grass fire from getting out of hand Thursday. The Armstrong Spallumcheen Fire Department was called to a property in the 4800 block of Back Enderby Road shortly before 2 p.m. “The fire was contained to about half an acre, and it got into the trees as well,” said Armstrong Spallumcheen fire chief Ian Cummings. “We had quick response and got lucky that Mother Nature played a big role as there was no wind when we got there.” No structures on the property were damaged and nobody was home at the time of the fire. What started the fire is unknown and the incident is under investigation.

Violent offender back in custody Morning Star Staff
A 31-year-old Kelowna man is facing multiple criminal charges after allegedly breaching his court ordered conditions of release. On July 21, Lake Country RCMP received a report of a suspicious occurrence where a 13-year- old Lake Country girl was thrown a note containing a phone number from the suspect male driver of a small black car which had passed her several times along Lodge Road. Six days later, Lake Country RCMP received a report of another suspicious occurrence, which had occurred on July 17 where a 16-year-old Lake Country girl was also thrown a note from a suspect male driver of a similar vehicle which had passed her a couple of times along Bottom Wood Lake Road. Police quickly linked the two investigations and identified the suspect as being a violent offender known to police and sub-
ject to multiple court imposed conditions of release, including but limited to: ■ not to have contact or communication with any female who appears to be the age of sixteen (16) or less; ■ not to attend any public park, school ground or playground where persons under the age of 16 are present or can reasonably be expected to be present. The Kelowna RCMP Street Enforcement Team quickly became involved and began covert surveillance of the suspect, a 31-year-old Kelowna man. On Aug. 5, and as a result of the ongoing surveillance being conducted, the Kelowna RCMP Street Enforcement Team intercepted additional notes being thrown from the suspect’s vehicle at girls who appeared under the age of 16 in the area of Abbott Street and Wardlaw Street in Kelowna. A police officer posed as a 15 yearold-female, and initiated contact with the
suspect via text messaging. The suspect arranged to meet the officer in person at a local park where he was taken into police custody without incident. “Through hard work and dedication to public safety,” said Const. Jesse O’Donaghey, “the Kelowna RCMP Street Enforcement Team has again taken a violent offender, who was obviously a high risk to re-offend, off our streets.” James Jonathan Bryshun faces multiple criminal charges of failing to comply with a probation order and failing to comply with a recognizance. He remains in custody and is expected to re-appear in court Monday. Anyone with any additional information is asked to contact Cst. Bentham of the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300. Remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, leaving a tip online at www.crimestoppers.net or by texting your tip to CRIMES (274637) ktown.
Gravel bid on hold in Lake Country ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A soil removal application in Lake Country that first appeared in 2008 will have to wait some more to be dealt with. Lake Country council has asked staff to clean up the temporary use application from the Large family to remove gravel from an 8.5 acre parcel of property near the corner of Glenmore Road and Okanagan Centre Road West, and bring it back to the next regular council meeting. “We referred it back to staff because not only are the applicants asking for a temporary use permit for soil removal, but they had a tag in there to

Opposition to the application has been expressed by registered nurse Maggie Getz, who is concerned for the health of her 90-year-old mother who lives in the area. “There is a concern about people who already have breathing problems,” said Getz. “It’s dusty already in the area. My mother planted a row of cedars to help keep the dust down. There is also a lot of noise pollution and traffic is really bad on Glenmore Road already.” The applicant has
Smoking banned in Lumby parks Morning Star Staff
Lumby council has adopted a bylaw amendment with regards to smoking. Now, in the village, smoking is prohibited on the Salmon Trail, within three metres of bus stops, in any park or green space including playgrounds, playing
fields, spray park, pool, skate and/or board park or trail. The traditional use of tobacco in aboriginal ceremonies in parks is permitted. Smoke or smoking, as defined in the village’s parks and public places bylaw, means the inhaling, exhaling, burning or carrying

WHITE HOUSE MORTGAGES
How safe is it to have a dog loose in the back of a truck? Let’s consider the hazards of such a practice. Imagine, driving along when all of a sudden a hard brake is needed to avoid something. The vehicle will stop, but the dog will maintain the momentum, pitching forward then backward or thrown out of the vehicle, resulting in severe injury such as fractures to the limbs or pelvis. Other injuries we see are, painful road rash, worn off pads, or even the possibility of death. We have seen these needless injuries all too often. Any of these scenarios could have been avoided, had the dog been secured. Safe, secure options include purchasing straps that enable you to cross tie them, remembering not to leave too much slack. Also consider securing a kennel in the back, where not only your pet will be much safer, but it also prevents your pet from the elements such as rain or debris being tossed from the road going into their eyes or ears.

Council to research streetlight installation ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
An Enderby resident is trying to get city council to see the light on installing streetlights in his neighgourhood. Jon Turpin has called for three streetlights to be erected at the city’s expense in the 100 block of Larsen Avenue. Enderby Mayor Greg McCune said, when the issue first came before council in the spring, the city immediately had calls from seven or eight property owners saying they didn’t want a light on that block.
“We’ll do the research phase of it, establish costs and whether it warrants three actual lights,” said McCune. “Council will make a decision then.” Turpin has presented council with a quote of $16,000 for one light. McCune said the city had a quote for one light at $10,000, and if the city wants three, the city would be looking at a cost somewhere between $16,000 and $30,000. McCune said the city can’t find in its records why lights weren’t put in when the area was developed between 20 and 25 years ago, but said “it was probably in lieu of something else,” like paving for example.

Cyclists pumped to help kids Morning Star Staff
A three-year veteran, two return riders from 2014, and five rookies from the North Okanagan will be cycling across southeastern B.C. to raise money for local children this September. The Cops for Kids Ride takes place Sept. 11 to 20 across southeastern B.C. for the annual 1,000-km cycling fundraiser to assist children in medical, physical or traumatic crisis. Returning for 2015 are prison guard Kevin Lane, Vernon RCMP Const. Nicolas Reimann and auxiliary Const. Peter Foodikoff. Rounding out the North Okanagan team as rookies this year are B.C. Sheriff Staff-Sgt. Tanya Smith, Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP transcriptionist Denise McMahon, Cpl. James Moore of Armstrong, Vernon Const. Cheryl Heber and Enderby Const. Krista Boudreau. Lake Country Const. Brandwyn Rigby will also be a part of the 2015 team. For these eight North Okanagan riders, it’s the opportunity to give back to their communities where they live and serve. Each rider is responsible for providing their own bike, training on their own time, and fundraising a minimum of $2,000 in order to be a part of the team. It’s an emotional journey, but certainly a worthwhile one. “I remember one boy that we met last year, and his name was Hugo. He was so excited to

Sept 11. Over the 10 days, they’ll cover some challenging terrain including two mountain passes. It’s no easy feat, but the group have all been training and they’re feeling up to the task. “I’ve never done anything like this before in my life,” said Smith. “Physically I know I can accomplish the challenge, but having the opportunity to give to the children is going to be a
humbling and emotional experience. I know we’ve got some serious athletes on this team, but at the end of the day we’ve all got hearts for the kids.” The group is still working on fundraising so donations are greatly appreciated to help them all reach their goals. Donations can be made at any Vernon- North Okanagan RCMP Detachment, or online at www.copsforkids.org where you can also follow the team on its journey.
City approves business block party ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Filler 250.550.7901 please MorningStar
The City of Enderby is throwing a street party with council’s blessing. Council unanimously approved the closure of Cliff Avenue from George Street to Vernon Street from 5 to 9 p.m. on Aug. 28 for Friday Night Lights. “It’s a downtown business street party,” said Coun. Brian Schreiner of the Friday Night Lights event. There will be a classic car show, kids’ games, sidewalk sale, music and food and market vendors. The event is aimed at drawing the community out for an end-of-summer event which will feature registration booths for fall and winter activities. “We’re hoping the hockey guys will be there, judo, karate, cadets, those types of things,” said Schreiner. “It’s an all-round fun, downtown party for Enderby.” Tender awarded A Kelowna company has been awarded the tender for a major road upgrade project. R355 Enterprises Ltd. was the low bidder at $1,131,303.96 (plus GST) for the 2015 capital road project on Vernon Street from Cliff Avenue
to King Avenue. “We want to do a huge storm upgrade and improve the water and the sewer,” said Mayor Greg McCune. The Kelowna company’s bid was under the anticipated budget of slightly more than $1.2 million, but a report to council says it’s anticipated there will be some additional civil works associated with Hydro and Telus realignments which will offset the difference. Work on the project is expected to begin in September. “Half will be done before the snow falls, and the other half will be completed in the spring,” said McCune.

I know that sounds wrong here in the Okanagan where we’re all about summertime fun and the lakes and summer vacations and tourists and such, and if you haven’t had your holiday break yet then don’t worry the real forecast looks just dandy, but, hey, it’s getting tougher and tougher to enjoy those lazy, crazy, hazy days of summer. Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, Those days of soda and pretzels and beer, Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, Dust off the sun and the moon and sing a song of cheer, .....You’ll wish that summer could always be here. As they say, careful what you wish for. Thanks to global warming, summer may soon always be here. And I don’t think in reality it’s what Mr. Cole had in mind all those years ago. The Nat King Cole classic is a catchy ditty from simpler times when summer was indeed all about drive-ins and bikinis and roasting weenies and leaving the real world behind for a few precious hours, or days or weeks or months, depending on how much time you got off for summer
MITCHELL’S MUSINGS
vacation. And there still is that element to it, thankfully, which we all do our best to enjoy but now it comes complete with smoke advisory warnings, UV ratings and even POP, which I always figured was just a modern-day meteorological copout on whether it was going to rain or not but in reality just raises more anxiety for folks with a declaration of a 40 per cent chance of a thunderstorm, which like the stats say, usually never materializes, at least where we live on the map, but still affects our general wellbeing anyway. What do they say about too much of a good thing, both when it comes to good weather and information overload? Oh yeah, it becomes a bad thing. I don’t know about you but it’s getting tougher and tougher to greet a beautiful sunny summer morning with the wonder and appreciation and gratitude that it deserves. Although I still try. But enough already. Obviously familiarity does breed contempt (I’m bringing out all the old faithfuls here, folks) so I’m saying thanks summer, it was great to know you and it’s been a great time, but I see autumn on the horizon so you better be on your way and we’ll see you again next time when I’ll once again greet you with open arms. Of course it doesn’t quite work that way (that other saying about “everybody talks about the weather but nobody ever does anything about it” comes to mind), and I think that adds to our frustration because with modern technology we’re increasingly getting used to being in control and getting things our way, except when it comes to Mother Nature. In fact, so far, we just seem to be screwing things up when it comes to the weather. But stay tuned. That is, to Mother Nature, not necessarily the weather channel. Fall will come as it always does, and hopefully sooner rather than later, and before you know it we’ll be getting all wistful about those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.
We say: Everyone can be part of the solution to end the scourge of impaired driving Summer is still in full swing, the patios are packed with people enjoying a cold one and backyard barbecues and picnics abound. Unfortunately, summer holidays, sunshine and high temperatures can combine to concoct a deadly cocktail of people drinking and driving. RCMP hold roadblocks and police the roads best they can, but we all need to do our part to end drunk driving. Only a concerted effort will drive the message home that we need to put the brakes on drinking and driving for good. If you know your circumstances may include a couple of drinks, take the time to arrange a ride home or ensure you have a designated driver. It’s much easier to take the time and plan ahead, compared to what you will deal with if you drink and get behind the wheel. It can save your life, the lives of those you love or the lives of innocent others. One bad decision can leave scars that never heal and a trail of shattered lives ruined by a booze-fuelled lapse in judgment. You can be part of the solution by letting the police know if you see someone who is drinking and driving. While programs like drinking and driving Counter Attack and media coverage have resulted in a reduction in impaired driving offences, the sad reality is there are still people out there who just don’t get it. So please, enjoy your summer and help spread the word that there are more than just the RCMP watching. – Black Press

Nobody takes issue with rating
recent writer evaluating Harper’s governance (“PM Reviewed”) indicated that “Nobody can deny that Mr. Harper’s economic policies are working.” In the general scheme of things I am pretty much a Nobody, so here is my denial. First off, we are currently on the brink of another official recession, the first one in 2008-09 having been papered over with statistics rather than real growth. The government of course blames the global economy - when of course they always take credit when times are good. The major blame is on the price of oil, now chasing below $50/barrel. Yes, that is because of the global economy - but with the tar sands representing Canada’s role in the global economy, combined with the federal government’s reliance on a Canadian petro-dollar then, yes, the Harper government is responsible for the current economic downturn. As Nobody, my second concern is with all the supposed “free trade” acts promoted by the Harper government. “Free” trade has nothing to do with these agreements. They are designed to give corporations the power to overrule domestic sovereignty. Harper is doing his best to have corporations run the country rather than its citizens. This runs through education and health care all the way up to how we are governed. Which, as a Nobody, I also have to disagree with the writer’s positive assessment of Harper’s domestic policies. CARTOONS BIASED Satirical political cartoons have historically been used to expose political misdeeds, and thus have played an important role in our democratic process. However, this medium can be abused when cartoons are not fair, not balanced, or not true. While there have been exceptions (i.e. Senator Duffy scandal), most of The Morning Star’s weekly cartoons demeaning the federal Conservative government have been unfair, unbalanced, and occasionally untrue. As an example, recent cartoons implied that the Conservatives have mismanaged the finances of the country. However, a 2014 OECD report ranked Canada as having the best GDP growth among G7 countries since 2009, while a 2015 OECD report stated that Canada has the best debt/GDP ratio among G7 nations. Also, according to the
The (un)Fair Election Act, Bill C-51 (security, supposedly), and the earlier omnibus finance bill all have created a situation that abrogates our rights to innocence until proven guilty, privacy, and detention without recourse to representation. Harper avoided issues like abortion, divorce, and the death penalty not because they were controversial but because he knew the majority were against his position with them. As for his domestic liaisons with the provincial leaders, Harper has avoided every meeting of the provincial premiers including the current one just ended in St. John’s. The main topic there? Oil and energy - no wonder he avoided this one. So instead of two out of four, Nobody gives Harper zero
Reputation Institute’s annual report, Canada remains at the top of a 55-nation list for perceived trust, admiration, and respect. A good test of any argument is how it would be judged if roles were reversed. In this case, how would these cartoons be judged if another political party or group were mocked on a weekly basis? Don John PAYING ATTENTION Colin Mayes was recently quoted saying: "In August people are on vacation and not paying attention to politics." This is 2015 Colin not 1985. People are connected most of the time all year long. Perhaps he's not paying attention in August, but I am. James Nicholls GAS PRICES When I was in Vancouver
on Aug. 8, the gas prices were $127.9/liter and that includes a 17 cents per liter transit tax. Our gas prices in Vernon were $129.9/liter. Theoretically, our gas prices should be approximately what Vancouver pays minus the 17 cents tax. That would equal $112.9/litre! Oil prices in June, 2015 were $60/barrel and now they are at a low of $43/barrel. When oil prices rise, our gas prices rise. The opposite is not often true – when oil prices fall, our gas prices do not fall accordingly. Why is the North Okanagan being charged a higher price for gas than Vancouver? Even in Quesnel, gas is $1.19/ litre. Check out www.gasbuddy. com and see for yourself that the North Okanagan is being ripped off. Linda Wills
out of four. Does Anybody know what to do? It seems Nobody does. Nobody indicates that the government should invest in major domestic infrastructure projects: - twin railway lines, electrified, across Canada - better yet, make them high speed like they are in Europe, Japan, China; - invest in municipal infrastructure - renewing bridges, sewer lines, water supplies, medical facilities and educational facilities; - invest in green technology while continuing with a tax on carbon producers; - support domestic shipbuilding, with more Coast Guard facilities and ships, and more Arctic patrol vessels; - denounce the TTIP and TTP and other “Free trade” acts that undermine domestic producers in agriculture and industry and reduce our sovereign and individual rights. - remove ourselves from U.S. supported foreign wars that create an environment of terror throughout the world, thus dissolving the “need” for CSIS/RCMP domestic “terror” surveillance. However, as Nobody expects common sense to rule over political power and greed, perhaps Somebody else will be able to proceed with a stronger domestic and foreign policy agenda. Nobody (aka Jim Miles}

WildSafe ambassador program wraps up Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s WildSafeBC program will be wrapping up at the end of August after a productive summer of reducing human-wildlife conflict.
WATKINMOTORS.COM
Program ambassador Tessa Coulthard would like to thank the residents of Vernon for their support of the WildSafeBC program, and their cooperation in properly managing their wildlife attractants. “This summer, WildSafeBC attended various events in Vernon, such as the Vernon Farmer’s Market and the

Sunshine Festival, and visited kids camps run by the City of Vernon to speak about wildlife and wildlife safety,” said Coulthard, who put up posters and went doorto-door in areas with bear activity, speaking to residents about their attractants. “You may have also found a yellow “bear attractant” sticker on your garbage can from the WildSafeBC ambassador if your garbage was left out the night before garbage collection.” According to the WildSafeBC website, garbage is the source of conflict for more than 50 per cent of the calls about bears to the Conservation Officer Service. Coulthard said that some neighbourhoods in Vernon, such as Predator Ridge and Canadian Lakeview Estates, rarely leave garbage out overnight in an effort to reduce human-bear conflict –
but there is still room for improvement for other neighbourhoods in Vernon. So far this summer, Coulthard and her volunteers have placed bear attractant warning stickers on more than 300 garbage cans that were left out the night before garbage collection in areas that had previously experienced bear activity. “To avoid attracting bears into neighbourhoods, keep your garbage in a secure environment until the morning of collection, in addition to picking their fruit trees and removing bird feeders until November,” said Coulthard. For more information on species and attractant management, visit wildsafebc.com and like the WildSafeBC Vernon page on Facebook. To report a wild animal in conflict, please call the Conservation Officer Service Reporting Line at 1-877952-7277.

It’s a good idea in theory, says Enderby Mayor Greg McCune. But not an effective one. McCune, part of the Regional District of North Okanagan board of directors, made the comment following a presentation to the board from Our Horizon B.C. campaign director Matt Hulse. Our Horizon is a non-profit group that would like to see climate change warning labels placed on all gas pump handles in B.C., warnings that graphically show the damage from climate change and how it could help motorists to cut their emissions. The campaign is inspired by cigarette package warnings that are credited in the decline of smoking. “I have a business that sells both fuel and tobacco and I encourage you to maybe look at a different direction,” said McCune, whose family has operated its store in Enderby for 22 years. “Honest to God, people are not even going to read these (labels)....We have signs on the pumps telling people not to smoke around the pumps. I consistently sweep up 50 cigarette butts from the pump area everyday.” Hulse, who has presented to the City of Vernon, was seeking the formal support of RDNO for implementation of the warning labels in B.C., and to bring the labels to the municipalities. The cost per pump to install the labels is about $13. “There is evidence of climate change in this area: forest fires, water shortage, drought, heat waves,” said Hulse.
“I don’t honestly see it being effective.” — Greg McCune
Said McCune: “It’s not a great idea – I’m sorry – in my opinion, but you’re on track. We have to deal with these issues, but I don’t honestly see it being effective.” Hulse, undaunted, thanked McCune for his honesty and perspective. “We think the labels will work,” he said. Support for the labels came from Coldstream director Doug Dirk, who said any effort in the direction of climate change warning is good. “We’re not trying to change irresponsible people, we’re trying to activate responsible people and deal with people’s consciences,” said Dirk. “People who smoke at gas pumps, you’re not going to change them through any kind of signage or other means. But if you activate responsible people, you can mount political pressure to bring about a change.” While RDNO did not offer its support, West Vancouver council will take a resolution to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in September, asking the province to make the pump labels a requirement province-wide. The City of North Vancouver council voted to endorse the idea.
Officers needed for correction centre Morning Star Staff
Being a correctional officer is a demanding job and it’s also one that plays an important role in the successful rehabilitation of inmates and in keeping the province safe. Once construction of the new Okanagan Correctional Centre (OCC) is complete in late 2016, more than 240 full-time correctional officer jobs will open up. In preparation, B.C. Corrections is offering additional readiness sessions and, for the first time, physical abilities testing, which is the first step in the process toward securing one of these jobs. Readiness sessions These free sessions – held in partnership with the Justice Institute of B.C., which trains all correctional officers for B.C.’s adult custody centres – include information about corrections and the justice system, the roles and duties of a correctional officer and the unique needs of the offender population, along with information on preparing to apply for jobs.

Please include first and second session choices and contact information in the body of the e-mail. Physical abilities testing: There is also an opportunity for interested applicants to take the Corrections Officer’s Physical Abilities Test (COPAT), an application requirement. This is a standard test, used across Canada, to determine whether an applicant is ready for the physical demands of the job. The test circuit involves activities like running stairs, dodging obstacles, pushing and pulling heavy objects and gaining control over a resisting subject by demonstrating endurance and agility. Those interested in taking the COPAT are asked to call 604-462-5170 or register by e-mail at: recruiter. occ@gov.bc.ca.

Opposition to the application came from Black’s neighbours, Johanna and Alex Spalteholz. “It is forecasted that the summers in the future will get hotter and dryer, and campers are keen to have campfires,” said Johanna, expressing one of several concerns about the plan. “Who will control that the fires are extinguished?” The Spalteholzs told regional district directors that between the properties, there is currently a barbed wire fence which gets heavily damaged after winter year after year, and the Spalteholzs claim they are the ones who fix the fence.

Electoral Area F director Herman Halvorson motioned, as part of agreeing to modifying the covenant, that Black erect a five-strand barbed wire fence from the southeast corner to northeast corner of his property, and from the southeast corner west to Black Road, and that he maintain the fence. The motion passed though electoral area B director Bob Fleming opposed, citing not erecting signage as per the Spalteholz’s request. Smailes said before Black can establish his campsite, he has to obtain a campground permit, which will include the motion to build and maintain the barbed wire fence.

Judge reviews records postings TOM FLETCHER Black Press
B.C. is the only province where charges and convictions in provincial court are posted on a public database as well as being available to courthouse visitors. One problem is that the information has been used by employers or landlords for criminal record checks that may find a charge but not the later acquittal. Another is posting the imposition of a peace bond, which can leave the false impression that someone has been convicted of an offence. Thomas Crabtree, chief judge of the B.C. Provincial Court, is reviewing the practice of posting court records online, and is seeking public input until Sept. 18. Court Services Online has been available since 2008, allowing anyone to search by name or case number to find information on charges, court appearances and sentences. The online information is blocked if the accused is acquitted, charges are withdrawn, a publication ban is ordered or when a pardon is later granted to seal the record of a conviction. Absolute discharge conviction records are removed from the public database after a year, and conditional discharges after three years. A stay of proceedings means the online case file is blocked after a year, although records for all cases remain at court registries for access in person. In a consultation memo on the issue, Crabtree notes that B.C.’s Court Services Online help desk received frequent requests to use the service as a criminal record check. The memo says that when information on acquittals was still available, the service received “a significant number” of complaints of negative effects from public access to charges that did not lead to conviction.
Some people said they only realized the information was public when they were sent a link by co-workers or employers. The memo offers several options for dealing with peace bonds, which are ordered to restrict activities of parties in a dispute and are currently left online indefinitely. The consultation memo is available at www. provincialcourt.bc.ca under the “news and reports” tab. Submissions can be made by e-mail to info@ provincialcourt.bc.ca or by mail to: Office of the Chief Judge, Provincial Court of B.C., 337-800 Hornby Street, Vancouver B.C. V6Z 2C5.

Todosychuk joins Griffin crease Viper camp resumes today KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
His hockey career was done at 20. Time to hang up the pads and focus on college. Or so thought fun-loving Vernon Viper graduate Danny Todosychuk, now a member of the Grant MacEwan University Griffins in Edmonton. Viper head coach/GM Mark Ferner, who Todosychuk made laugh pretty much every day at the rink, made some calls and caught a break. The Griffins were forced to start searching for net detectives in July when two returnees left: one for law school in Australia and one for a full-time career outside of hockey. “It’s a unique situation and the timing worked out well for both parties,” said Griffin head coach Bram Stephen, entering his fourth year with the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference team. “We understand he’s a good teammate, a good player and competitive kid, a good character player all around.” Todosychuk will have half his tution covered and expects more funding as a sophomore. He’s stoked about the new adventure. “I was enrolled and just getting ready to go to OC (Okanagan College) and pay for the first semester when Ferner called and said he may have found something for me,” said Todosychuk, who handled truck deliveries for Kekuli Bay Cabinetry all summer. “I told myself ‘It’s OK, you’re not going to be playing hockey anymore’ and then this happened out of the blue. I don’t know anything about the school and don’t know one person on the roster, but I’m excited about the opportunity.” Todosychuk talked to some NCAA Division III schools, but wasn’t prepared to shell out $60,000 to play. He also discussed hockey with the Calgary Dinos, but things were most serious when Griffin scout Neil Brimmage contacted Danny. The athletic 5-foot-11, 180-pound Vernon minor hockey product went 12-8 last season with a 2.57 GAA and .911 save
percentage. He spent four years with the Vipers, accepting a brief demotion to the Junior B Golden Rockets with class in his second season. “He’s been one of my favourites,” said Ferner. “He has a great personality and is a great teammate. Over the years, things didn’t exactly work out the way he wanted. He had a good year (last season) but he had a tough year as well. He stood up for his teammates (in a brawl in West Kelowna) and got suspended six games and he got run over in the pre-game skate in an exhibition game in Prince George. “It’s funny how things worked out for Danny. The coach at Grant MacEwan said he won’t finish his career there; he’ll be on a CIS team.” That means that Todosychuk may get scooped up by a CIS team or actually play CIS for the Griffins, who will become tenants of the Edmonton Oilers’ new 1,000-seat practice new facility and thereby become eligible to join the CIS. Todosychuk, who was even spotted at a local gym with his older brother, Randy, also played quite a few rounds of golf this summer. Griffins’ camp opens Sept. 1.

Stuart scores deuce as Celtics bounce Blazers Morning Star Staff
Stephanie Stuart scored a deuce as the NET Celtics dispatched the AF Blazers 5-1 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 1 play Thursday night at Marshall Field #2. Meghan Smith, Genevieve Nice and Sam Adam produced singles for the Celtics. Carly Smith was rock solid at centre fullback to secure the win, with Tori Reid showing off her gymnastics skills in goal. Alyssa Ward scored replied for the Blazers. In other Division 1 play, Glenn Power United shut down the shorthanded Little Tex Outlaws 4-0 at Blackburn Park. Ron Krause praised all eight of his Outlaws for running miles all night. In Division 2 make-up play, the Sir Winston’s Attack and the Fantastic Four
played to a scoreless draw at Marshall #5. “Huge thanks to Sir Winston coach Greg Thalheimer who was acting referee for the full 90 minutes, in flip flops to boot,” said Kris Ponto of the Fantastic Four. “It was a tight match with both teams carrying full rosters and having so many chances.” Brooke Hackle, Olivia Anderson and Emma Louie all had super chances to score for the Fab Four, who got dynamite defence, anchored by Alana Lindsay. Fab Four keeper Taylor Weixl recorded numerous dazzling saves, including a few breakaways and corkers from just outside the 18. Vernon Kal Tire managed a 1-1 tie with Lake Country FC in Tree Brewing Kelowna Men’s 35+ Soccer League play Thursday night at Beasley Park.
Starting the game short a player, Kal Tire held off Lake Country for the first few minutes and then when at full strength, Bryan Schenker showed his skill by chipping the keeper from 12 yards out at a sharp angle to give 15-2-4 Kal Tire a 1-0 lead. Play went back and forth for most of the game until about 80 minutes when what Kal Tire players thought to be a missed call led to a scramble that caught the league champion Kal Tire defence off guard to let a Lake Country forward in to level the score. Just moments earlier, Lake Country (116-4) had a point blank breakaway that keeper Iain Butler denied with a convincing stop on a hard 10-yard shot. Brandt’s Creek Pub brushed back Vernon Kal Tire 3-2 in Okanagan 55+ play Thursday night at Marshall #1.
Lee McBratney headed in a cross from Jeri-Leon Franklin past Tiremen keeper Yogi Konsgdorf at 13 minutes. Jen Huberts equalized with a 20-yard scorcher, top cheddar, at 26 minutes. Paul Goodgrove and Dave Hampton set up the goal. Derek Kidd buried a sweet 18-yarder 10 minutes later for the 8-9-1 Pubbers. Andy Miller, who everybody in the park except the referee figured was five feet offside, cruised in and beat Kongsdorf on a breakaway five minutes into the second half. Kal Tire (8-7-2) pulled within one 15 minutes later on an own goal. Miller was red carded for a tackle on Gordie Campbell in the late stages. Central fullbacks Russ Hamer, of Brandt’s Creek, and Ted Sheehan, of Kal Tire, were the Okanagan Sun-Rype Players of the Match.

AJ Ewart (left) and Abigail Rigsby finish their drives en route to winning provincial juvenile golf championships Thursday at Spallumcheen Golf & Country Club.
Ewart wins B.C. title AJ Ewart of Coquitlam shot his third consecutive under-par round and took home the BC Juvenile Boys Championship by six strokes over Keaton Gudz of Victoria Thursday at Spallumcheen Golf & Country Club. Ewart shot rounds of 70, 66 and 69 to finish at 8-under 205. Gudz shot a final round 73 to finish at 211, while Andrew Spalti of Vancouver and Tristan Mandur of Mill Bay shared third spot at 212. For Ewart, it’s the biggest B.C. Golf title he’s won since winning the 2012 BC Bantam Boys title. “I’ve been so close so many times so to finally win, I’m pretty happy right now,” said Ewart. “It’s pretty surreal.” Ewart played a conservative tourey schedule, doing well at the Canadian Juniors but skipping the Canadian Amateur before he went to Wood Buffalo, Alta. for the Western Canada Summer Games. Ewart claimed double gold there, winning as part of the B.C. team and also the individual boys title. He capped it all with his win at Spallumcheen. “I took the five days off after the Canadians and that was good,” said Ewart. “I know I can always play the Canadian Amateur when I get older.” Ewart started with a steady front nine which included two bogeys and three birdies. Ewart had begun the day with a one shot lead and his closest challenger, Cowichan’s Callum Davison, made no birdies on the front nine, with his two bogeys putting him four shots back of Ewart as they made the turn. Ewart ended all suspense on the 10th hole when he hit an iron on the short par-4 and wedged up to make birdie. Davison was more aggressive, hitting driver and making bogey for a two-shot swing that gave Ewart a six-stroke lead. “I kept on telling myself I had to play safe,” said Ewart. “As we were waiting on the 10th hole, I thought about hitting driver, but I knew the safe play was to hit an iron.” Even with a bogey on the 12th hole, Ewart
nursed his lead through to the end, winning in grand style with a birdie on the 18th hole even when his drive went down the ninth fairway. Gudz, who played in the final group with Ewart and Davison, also couldn’t get anything going on his front nine, with his two bogeys putting him too far back of Ewart to make a run on the back. “He played unbelievable and he deserved to win because he played the best for all three days,” said Gudz. “He made a lot of putts and he got out in front and we weren’t going to catch him.” Vernon’s Mac Gourdine tied for 14th spot with a final-round 74, giving him 221 over three rounds. Braeden Cooper of Vernon tied for 21st with a 75 Thursday. He finished at 226. There was a field 83 players with a cut after 36 holes. Courtenay’s Abigail Rigsby shot a new course record 65 Thursday to win the Juvenile Girls crown by three strokes over Surrey’s Hannah Lee. Rigsby had a spotless card, with six birdies, including a downhill 20-footer on her last hole that saw her better the previous course record, a 67 shot by Mary-Ann Hayward at the 2013 Canadian Senior Women’s Championship. “It’s pretty surreal,” said Rigsby as she was doused with a champion’s water shower by friends Megan Ratcliffe and Mary Parsons. “I’ve played some really good golf ever since the Canadians, where I broke par there for a round. I came back to my home course (Crown Isle) and shot a 69 and I’ve just played really well.” Trailing by four strokes heading into the final round, Rigsby reeled off three straight birdies and overhauled Lee by the fifth tee box. “I couldn’t believe all those putts dropped,” said Rigsby. “I can’t really explain it, but it felt good to get ahead.” Rigsby couldn’t wait to get her new Titleist golf bag with 2015 Champion embroidered on it. “I needed a new golf bag,” said Rigsby. “It’s a great way to finish off my season.”

WolfPack ice T-Wolves KAMLOOPS – The Thompson Rivers University WolfPack men’s soccer team opened their own pre-season tournament with a victory. The WolfPack took down the visiting Univeristy of Northern British Columbia Timberwolves 2-0 Thursday at Hillside Stadium. The victory ups the ‘Pack’s exhibition record to 3-1. This was UNBC’s first match under new interim head coach Steve Simonson. The teams were scoreless after the first half. “My first week with the guys and getting to know them was the number one goal,” Simonson stated. “For 70 minutes we played great but that first goal took away our confidence. It was a great first step.” “I liked the fact we kept a clean sheet and played composed,” stated TRU head man John Antulov. “We had good solid possession and played really smart. I was very happy with the centre of our park with Colton Walker (3rd year, Sicamous), Mike Harvey (3rd year, Calgary), Kyle Fertile (5th year, Kamloops) and even when we started to bring the kids in, they kept the same composure. We had good solid play throughout. The WolfPack started fifth-year keeper Travis Froehlich (Revelstoke) in the first half and finished off with rookie Claye Harsany (High River, AB).
Antulov said Harsany looked composed in his half of work. “That is what I expected of Claye when I recruited him. I have seen him play and I like his composure. He communicates. He is a solid keeper. We expected of him.” Both WolfPack goals came off the foot of fifth year Oriol Torres (Barcelona, Spain). The first goal came in the 70th minute with the other being scored in the 85th. The second goal saw Torres take the ball on his right foot and cross it over his head to his left and then tucked it in the lower left hand side of the cage occupied by Mitch McFarlane of UNBC. “Oriol came into camp with the idea of doing well in his fifth year,” stated Antulov. “ He played fantastic in Phoenix. He has been like that the last two and a half weeks.” The WolfPack continued the tournament with a match on Saturday versus Douglas College Ducks of the PACWEST. The tourney wraps up today with Grant MacEwan Griffins of Edmonton facing UBCO Heat at 9 a.m., UNBC meeting Douglas at 11 am and TRU facing Langara College Falcons at 1 p,m. There is an admission charge for all matches. CORNER KICKS: The WolfPack open the 2015-16 Canada West season at home Sept. 12 when they entertain the Trinity Western University Spartans at Hillside Stadium. Kick off is 2 p.m. The game will be webcast on Canadawest.tv.

Lloyd and Marion Mitchell: married Aug. 26, 1955 and celebrating their 60th anniversary.
Vacation Home Concierge Services
Mitchells celebrate 60 years Lloyd and Marion Mitchell are celebrating their diamond wedding anniversary this year. The couple met on a blind date — a first for both — at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver while attending Marion’s nursing school class graduation party. They became engaged three months later and were married the next year, Aug. 26, 1955 at Trinity Memorial United
Church in Abbotsford. Following their wedding and honeymoon, Lloyd taught at Vincent Massey Junior High School in New Westminster while Marion continued nursing at Royal Columbian Hospital. The winter of 1957 saw a move to their first new home, located in Surrey. Their first three sons — Kevin, Glenn and Murray — were born in New Westsminster. August 1963 saw the
family leave Surrey and move to Vernon, where Lloyd had accepted a position as district special counsellor. The family moved into their newly constructed home in September 1965. Youngest son Craig was born in 1968. A six-year hiatus was spent in Kamloops — 1981 to 1987 — where Lloyd was the director of a Special Education Centre. The couple retired back to Vernon in July 1987.

Lloyd and Marion have been very involved with the Anglican Church, and community service agencies. They have enjoyed travelling around the world and exploring other cultures, and participating in sports — both their own and their grandchildren’s — all while continuing to enjoy good health. Their extended family consists of 10 wonderful grandchildren — Kristi, Max, Nick, Justin, Lucas, Brandon, Andrew, Alex,
Jesse and Kylie; and four loveable daughters-inlaw — Jackie, Rhoda, Coralee and Glenda. Lloyd and Marion renewed their wedding vows at All Saints Anglican Church Aug. 16 and will celebrate their anniversary with family and friends at a later date.
A new survey from dating site EliteSingles has revealed great news for those Canadians who like to have their nose in a book: reading is officially sexy. n 60 per cent of singles would prefer to date a book lover. n Men are most attracted to women who read erotica. n Women prefer men who read thrillers. n 90 per cent of Canadians are avid readers themselves. In an EliteSingles survey of 1,700 people, nearly two thirds of those surveyed said they prefer to date avid readers. However, before singles pick up just anything, they need to take a minute to plan, for not all books are created equal and, in fact, it’s what you read that makes you attractive. Putting the lover back in book lover, the survey revealed that men’s heads are most easily turned by women who read erotica: in fact, for one in five men, erotica readers are as sexy as it gets. In other words, if you’re a woman wanting to meet a man on your next commute or beach vacation, it might be time to put down the paper and pick up 50 Shades of Grey or some Anaïs Nin. However, single men looking to make eyes at the woman in the next train seat or adjacent pool lounger should take a different route. Women were not fans of erotica: just six per cent said they found
men who read it attractive. Instead they prefer men of mystery, with 19 per cent picking thrillers as the sexiest genre a man can read (James Patterson and Louise Penny, take a bow). EliteSingles psychologist Salama Marine says that singles love those who love books because “people look for those who have interesting hobbies — and reading is one of them. Because a great book leads to great discussions,” she said. “Also, your taste in books can highlight aspects of your personality: are you curious, romantic, dreamy? By sharing your tastes you can show and share your inner world.” Of course, there could be a more simple reason: like is attracted to like and, as it turns out, Canadians like books. No matter what the reason, though, one thing is clear. To get in someone’s good books, you must first pick up a good book.

Farm tour increases public awareness PATRICIA DONAHUE Special To The Morning Star
Modern technology has given the milkproducing cow the empowerment of choice, and the DeLaval Automatic Milker is now ‘Bessy’s’ best friend. It was a steep learning curve for visitors at Riverbreeze Dairy Farm in Spallumcheen recently when its owners, Tom and Jane Boeve and family, hosted an open house on behalf of the Kamloops Okanagan Dairy Association. A rare event, opening the farm to the public was spurred by what Tom says: “Farms and the general community need to be more connected and aware of the impact of farming on the North Okanagan economy. Farms contribute a substantial amount to this economy each year from buying feed, machines and cost of maintenance, to veterinarian and specialists’ services and so on.” Riverbreeze Farm has a herd of 240, the majority of Holstein Friesian stock, and is among the 529 dairy farms in B.C. - for a total of 80,000 cows - that are predominantly family-operated. And there were surprises in store. The large turn-out started the day with a free hearty pancake breakfast served up by the Lion’s Club. After which knowledgeable volunteers, and there were many, guided groups through each stage of operations of a modern farm. We saw how computer systems have become an integral part of everyday business which in turn, has changed the face of this industry. No more suffering discomfort waiting to be relieved of a bulging bag of milk. The DeLaval Milker gives ‘Bessy’ the choice of when to be milked. She knows that meandering over to the milking station will be rewarded with a treat of special grain. On hand was Laura Johnson with an animal science and nutrition degree who explained to awe-struck children, that a cow weighs between 1,200 to 1,400 lbs. and spends five hours a day eating. Each consumes a daily 50 kilos of feed; mix of dry forage, grass alfalfa silage, corn silage, wheat bran, canola-DDG minerals and vitamins. Wide-eyed, the kids were struck by the fact that a cow needs to drink approximately 30 to 50 gallons of water to produce 125 lbs of digestive saliva - “all that spit,” said one boy - and rests 12 to 14 hours, either standing or lying down.
PHOTO SUBMITTED
North Okanagan residents learn about a modern dairy farm during a public event hosted by the Kamloops Okanagan Dairy Association. We all viewed the ample-sized pens with sand or fine sawdust as bedding. Added care to comfort was a continuously-rotating wide brush that a cow could lean into, and be massaged. The Mobile Dairy Classroom, an attractive educational trailer built to travel to schools was set up and colourful brochures and illustrative posters were shared. Dr. Rod Gilmer and several veterinarians, present throughout the farm, explained the herd’s medical needs. Dr.Brian McOnie showed ultrasound images of an embryo calf in gestation, a time period of nine months. We saw the large pen with thick bedding reserved for expectant cows in their last two months of pregnancy. Given an enhanced diet, they are pampered. We heard lots of pre-labour moos and laments from that location in the broad barn. Returning to farm modernization, the DeLaval Automatic Milker Robot drew lineups who crowded in for the close-up demonstration.
The company’s Project Support Manager, Cal Kwantes, explained how it was invented in the late 1990s in Sweden where it has since been technically-refined. He pointed out the workings of its camera and two lasers. At the milking station, the camera locates the cow’s utters - each cow does not assume the exact standing spot - then a robot sterilizes, and finally the milking receptacles are guided to precise attachment to each of the four utters. The cow wears an ear tag which is scanned and records all information of that particular milking; time, date, number of liters and more. A modern farmer now has immediate access to information on each cow’s production. Technology is being put to excellent use. There was an abundance of printed information on hand. For example, statistics on farming in Canada where 98 per cent of farms are family owned, one in eight Canadian jobs are in agriculture, almost 25,000 farm operators are under the age of 35 and that Canada is
the number one producer of canola in the world. Ray Baylis, representative for the Chicken Growers Association, provided information on chicken farming and had pullets for viewing. And Adam Vervoort representing banking for farmers, had flown in from Toronto to add his input and answer questions. Also made clear was the necessity of protecting our farmlands and farmers, encouraging sustainable agri-practices including assuring clean, affordable water, and the necessity of having all levels of government be involved. I was appalled to learn that right now zero per cent is received from the Federal Government to support this economicallysustainable industry. A non-technical aspect I learned about concerns the mentoring of youth as the upcoming generation of farmers. Joy Devos of Waybrook Farm in the Shuswap was happy to explain her commitment to 4-H. She works hard on the farm and yet finds time to keep her branch of 4-H vibrant. Besides involving children, she stressed the need to also include their parents. As is known, 4-H Clubs have been around a long time and when involved in farming, they have a unique impact. Not only is content information a focus but caring for an animal fosters responsibility, accountability, team work and sharing, in each of the club’s members. It was refreshing to hear Joy speak so passionately. We are fortunate to have individuals like her amongst many others, who work with young people in this mentorship role. Of course a day that started with a farmer’s breakfast had to end with ice-cream; one of the most favorite gifts from cows! From their kiosk, D Dutchmen Dairy from Sicamous whipped out countless luscious cones. In the hot weather nothing could have served better. As with others, I came away with a fresh awareness and gratitude for those committed women and men farmers; locally and across our wide country. They are often un-sung and yet on a regular basis, take personal financial risks, work diligently day in, and day out with the never ending tasks demanded by a farm. All so that we can enjoy good food on our plates. Where did that litre of milk sitting in the fridge, originate? Now we know precisely.

Laird back up for lottery Morning Star Staff
Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery is pleased to announce the opening of its much anticipated 2015 Laird of Fintry Single Malt Whisky lottery. Produced in small batches using 100 per cent B.C. malted barley, the exclusive Laird of
WATKINMOTORS.COM
Fintry is released only once a year by lottery due to its high demand and limited quantity. Since its release in 2013, the single malt whisky has found itself shipped across Canada, the United States and taken home by winners across the globe. Interest in the B.C.
‘Scotch-style’ whisky has spiked since winning gold medal status at the coveted World Spirits Awards held in Denmark this spring. Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery hopes to release 1,500 bottles into the rapidly growing lottery which consisted of 3,000 participants
YOU AND THE LAW DO I REALLY NEED A SHAREHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT? When we incorporate new companies with multiple shareholders for clients, lawyers will often recommend that the parties enter into a Shareholders’ Agreement to ensure that there is a mechanism in place to deal with any disputes that arise in the future. More often than not, clients elect not to have a Shareholders’ Agreement prepared. In many ways the relationship between the shareholders of a Company is much the same as a couple entering into a marriage. In both cases the parties involved set out with the best of intentions but there are bound to be both good and bad times as circumstances change along the way. One can think of a Shareholders’ Agreement as being equivalent to a marital agreement for a Company. You hope you never need it but will surely be glad it’s there in the event that you do. During the initial honeymoon phase of operating a Company, the shareholders generally are working together and are in agreement with respect to all important business decisions. The Company may be growing fast and shareholders’ attention is generally focused on establishing the business. In these good times it may be difficult to see why a Shareholders’ Agreement may be needed. Things are working great now, why should they change?
Putting in place a Shareholders’ Agreement when things are going well is far easier than trying to negotiate one in the future at a time when relations between the shareholders might have become strained. Failure to put such a framework in place

can often lead to very contentious litigation that is just as antagonistic and expensive as the worst divorce actions. Litigation between shareholders can be extremely time consuming and costly and, more importantly, can easily cripple and ultimately destroy the underlying business. One potential way to ensure that your Company is not embroiled in a long and drawn-out battle once shareholder relationships sour is to include some form of a compulsory buy-out provision in a Shareholders’ Agreement. The most commonly used and effective form of these compulsory buy-out provisions is typically called a “shotgun clause”. Under the terms of a shotgun clause, a shareholder desiring to offer all but not less than all of its shares in the company (the “Instigator”) may initiate the buy-out process by giving notice to the other shareholder. This notice will set out the terms, including the price, on which the Instigator wishes to purchase the other shareholders’ shares. Delivery of the notice puts the ball in the court of the other shareholder who is then granted the option to either sell their shares to the Instigator at the per share price and on those certain terms proposed by the Instigator or, alternatively, to purchase the Instigator’s shares at that same per share price and on those same terms.
Dave Schaefer
The unfortunate reality is that the vast majority of businesses inevitably come across hard times at some point in their development and, as a consequence, shareholder realities can change in a hurry. Or it may even be that an individual shareholder’s circumstances have changed, such as divorce or health issues, and that may have a dramatic impact on the operation of the Company. At some juncture down the road it may simply be best for all shareholders involved to “divorce” and move on. In this scenario, being able to fall back on the guidelines established in advance by a Shareholders’ Agreement prepared when all parties were in agreement is much preferable to the alternative.
www.vernonmorningstar.com
The primary advantage of a compulsory buy-out clause, such as a shotgun clause, is that it provides certainty by putting in place a procedure and, most importantly, a hard and fast timeframe for resolving potentially devastating shareholder disputes. This benefits all parties in that it ensures that the shareholder who values the company most ends up with control of the company while the other is compensated fairly for their interest, all while preserving the value of the Company as much as possible. Just as marital agreements are today being utilized with increasing frequency, Shareholders’ Agreements should be a must for anyone considering entering into a corporate relationship with one or more other parties. The cost of having your lawyer prepare a Shareholders’ Agreement will be an insignificant cost if it prevents or limits a dispute down the road.

back in 2014. Choosing a name to pay homage to the history of whisky in the Okanagan, the distillery uses a replica label of the original Laird of Fintry Single Malt Whisky. In turn for the label the distillery supports the Friends of Fintry Society with an annual donation to help maintain the original property of the Laird. The 2015 lottery will be open until Sept. 30. It is free to sign-up and can be done so by visiting either distillery in Vernon and Kelowna or by signing up online at http://okanaganspirits.com/products/ single-malt-whisky/ The draw will take place the week of Oct. 19 and winners will be notified directly from the distillery by either e-mail or telephone. Currently the only way to taste the Laird is at the Kelowna location’s Barrel Room Patio and Lounge on Bernard Avenue., where a ‘wee dram’ can be found on the menu. A bottle of The Laird of Fintry retails at $75.

Starting young ou’re newly graduated, with a great job and a solid future in sight – and you’re making your own money for the first
time. You could spend some of it on a great vacation, a new car … or you could start investing in your retirement portfolio. When you’re a young Canadian strapped for cash, with student loans to pay off and lots of new lifestyle expenses, it’s difficult to save for the future. But the experts, and the Andy Erickson life experiences of many investors, tell us that without a doubt, starting young is the key to investing successfully for retirement. Even if you start small, start now – because the longer you are in the markets, the more your savings will grow over time. Check out this example: Mary invests $2,000 at the beginning of each year between ages 21 and 29, for a total of $18,000 over nine years. Assuming a pre-tax return of seven per cent, by age 65, she will have $292,828 in pre-tax savings.
GUEST COLUMN
Lynn also invests $2,000 at the beginning of each year with the same pre-tax returns but starts at age 30. To get near Mary’s savings total of $292,828, Lynn will need to invest nearly four times as much - $70,000 over 35 years. And here are some investing tips to get you going: Are you investing to buy a house or for retirement? Knowing where your money is going will help you define how to invest. Do your research. You need to be comfortable with your investments and the best way to do that is to become knowledgeable. Talk to a financial planner. Even if you only have a little money to invest, a financial planner will be happy to help you. It’s in their interest to establish a relationship with young investors who will be clients for a long time. For your best financial outcome, start investing early and develop good financial habits. That way, you’ll have more options for how you want to live your life from here to retirement … and beyond. Andy Erickson is the division director with Investors Group, Vernon.

Forest plans failing, B.C. growing Black Press
The B.C. government’s forest stewardship plans for Crown land are unenforceable, lack measurable results and are not producing innovative forest management, according to an investigation by the Forest Practices Board. The board reviewed 43 stewardship plans from all regions of B.C., prepared under provincial law by tenure holders including forest companies and communities. There has been “no improvement” in problems identified by a similar review in 2006, said Forest Practices Board chair Tim Ryan. “We are recommending that government not renew or approve any forest stewardship plans that don’t meet the standards set out in the Forest

and Range Practices Act,” Ryan said. The investigation found that many of the plans cover “vast and overlapping areas of the province, and were written using legal language that makes them very difficult for public understanding or review.” The five-year plans are supposed to be approved after measurable and verifiable results and strategies are established and public input is obtained. Many have been extended without further public review and more are due for extension or renewal in the next year, the board says. The board conducts independent investigations of Crown forest licences. Its reports and results of the latest province-wide investigation can be found at www.bcfpb.ca. Southern B.C. to lead growth B.C.’s economy will grow at a “modest” 2.7 per cent this year, then accelerate above three per cent as major projects in northern B.C. get going in late 2016, according to the latest forecast by Central 1 Credit Union. Low interest rates, a low dollar and recovering demand in the U.S. will help the Vancouver and southern B.C region’s export and service industries most this year, said Bryan Yu, senior economist with the trade association for B.C. credit unions. Manufacturing, tourism, TV and film and agriculture are expected to lead the way. Slow global demand, particularly from China, is expected to dampen growth in northern B.C. and the Kootenays, where mining and resources are key drivers. “Northern B.C. is poised to grow at a faster rate in late 2016 onwards with the start of one liquefied natural gas terminal and pipeline, the Site C dam and other major projects,” Yu said. While B.C. residents working in the oil sands are at greater risk, low oil prices are generally positive for the B.C. economy, with lower costs for businesses and consumers.

Government is providing nearly $20 million to help B.C. school districts extend the life of their facilities and school-based assets, education minister Mike Bernier announced while speaking at the BC School Superintendents Association’s Summer Leadership Academy in Kelowna. Districts have been asked to identify priorities for routine capital upgrade projects to support healthy, efficient schools for students, teachers and staff. “School districts work hard to make sure their facilities are as safe and efficient as possible for students and staff,” said Bernier. “This additional funding recognizes that effort and the often difficult and complex challenges that come with this work.” Eligible projects must cost more than $100,000 and may include: n Electrical upgrades (power supply and distribution systems); n Energy upgrades; n Health and safety upgrades (traffic safety, indoor air quality); n Mechanical upgrades (heating, ventilation, plumbing); and n Roofing upgrades. Priority will be given to schools with enrolment demands and the greatest opportunity to improve facilities, as well as schools with strategic importance to districts such as those in rural areas with limited alternatives and project-

Cathi Litzenberger Morning Star Columnist
Today three of my recipes feature bell peppers and other fresh vegetables in season. Did you know that all red, yellow and orange peppers start out green? The colour changes and their sweetness increases depending on how long they’re allowed to ripen on the vine. Bell peppers are available year-round, but they’re at their best, and most abundant, right now (from July through November). When looking for peppers, look for firm ones with taut skins; avoid peppers with wrinkles or cracks. To get peppers with thick, juicy walls, choose those that feel heavy for their size. Today I offer a fresh summer gazpacho, a pasta dish with peppers, squash, tomatoes and spicy Italian sausage, a meaty stuffed pepper, and a dessert the kids will love — grilled banana splits! Enjoy. Easy Summer Gazpacho 1/2 cup peeled, diced cucumbers 3/4 cup diced green and red bell peppers 3/4 cup diced onion 1 cup peeled, diced tomatoes 2 -1/2 cups tomato juice 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice Chopped chives or green onion tops 2 lemons, cut into 4 wedges each In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except chives or green onion tops and the lemon wedges, and mix thoroughly. Prepare in advance and chill overnight. Serve in chilled bowls and garnish with the chopped chives or green onion tops and the lemon wedges. Makes about 4 cups or 8 (1/2 cup) servings. Pasta with Peppers, Squash and Tomatoes Coarse salt 3/4 pound rigatoni 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 pound sweet or spicy Italian sausage, casings removed 1 bell pepper (not green), cut into 1/4inch strips 1 small yellow squash, cut into 1/4-inch rounds 2 pounds cherry tomatoes, halved Red-pepper flakes Grated Pecorino Romano, for serving In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add sausage

For these special summertime banana splits, everything but the ice cream can be thrown onto the grill. and cook, breaking apart with a slotted spoon, until cooked through, about 6 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer sausage to a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon oil and bell pepper to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned in spots, 6 minutes. Add squash and half the tomatoes; cook 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup pasta water and cook until tomatoes soften, 4 minutes. Return sausage to pan and add remaining tomatoes. Season with redpepper flakes. Cook until sausage is warmed through and juices thicken slightly, about 2 minutes. Toss with pasta; if necessary, add remaining pasta water to create a light sauce that coats pasta. Serve with Pecorino Romano. Meaty Stuffed Peppers 6-8 medium, bell peppers 1-1/2 lbs. lean ground beef
1/2 lbs. lean ground smoked bacon 1 medium onion, finely chopped 2 cloves, garlic, pressed 2 cups crushed fresh tomatoes; blanched and skins removed 1 cup chicken broth 8 oz. can tomato sauce (or homemade) 2 cups long grain rice 2 tsp. salt (plus what rice calls for) 1/8 tsp. pepper Shredded cheddar cheese Clean the peppers. Cut off the tops and clean out the seeds; save the tops. In a large frying pan, cook the bacon, onions and hamburger until done; add garlic and cook another minute. Turn off heat. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Stuff the peppers; add tops, cover and bake for 1 to 1-1/2 hours until the rice is soft and
cooked. Remove tops; sprinkle with cheese; allow to melt, and serve. Delicious! Banana Split Bananas Caramel ice cream topping Milk or semi-sweet chocolate bars Mini marshmallows Maraschino cherries All right, you may not be able to grill the ice cream, but you can toss everything else onto your grill. Slice a banana (with the peel still on) lengthwise. Squeeze a line of caramel sauce into length of bananas. Place a few pieces of chocolate and some mini marshmallows inside and put it on the grill until the chocolate and marshmallows melt, about 10 minutes. Once they’re done, serve with some fresh ice cream and top with a cherry!

Cigarettes continue to do damage Kym Howay Special to The Morning Star
Look down — way down. What do you see when you visit businesses, shopping malls, parks, beaches or walking trails? We are often greeted by cigarette butts littering our communities, our pristine forest trails and our sandy beaches. We also see butt litter near grassy road sides or slowly trickling down to our water drains. Cigarette butts are ranked as one of Canada’s leading causes of litter. Cigarette filters are made of plastic, so they can take up to 15 years to bio-degrade. That means there are cigarette filters hanging around today that may
even be from the 90s! Filters contain 160 toxic chemicals, of which 60 can cause cancer, and when they get wet those toxins can leach into our natural environment. Our hot, dry summers in combination with a forested landscape make us especially vulnerable to forest fires that destroy much of our pristine wilderness and put our communities at risk. Province-wide, since Jan. 1, 2015 there have been a total of 279 fires attributed to smoking materials, with total losses at almost $2.8 million. Are all fires caused by cigarette butts carelessly flung from a
hand? No, but many have been caused by discarded cigarettes. The Barriere fire in 2003 is one example of fire caused by a cigarette — 70 homes and 26,000 hectares of forest were destroyed. It’s concerning that some people continue to throw their still glowing cigarettes out of car windows or toss butts on the ground. So how can we address this and change the way we think and dispose of cigarette butts in a responsible way? If you are a smoker and you are not ready to quit then the next best thing you can do is be responsible with your butts. There are safer ways to dispose
of cigarette butts. You might choose to keep a water-filled container in your car to help make sure the burning butt is out. If you are out and about in the forest or on the street, use a small tin container to collect your butts. Those small metal mint tins work great. If you are hiking, pack the extinguished butts in and out with the rest of your garbage. Please take personal responsibility for your butts — help prevent forest fires and protect our communities, our environment, and our wildlife. Kym Howay is a tobacco reduction coordinator with Interior Health.
Longtime executive director Meyer moves on Morning Star Staff
After more than 11 years as the executive director of the Kelowna & District Safety Council, Tania Meyer is moving on at the end of August. “It has been an amazing journey,” said Meyer, “but it’s time for a change. KDSC has been my passion for over a decade and I’ve been very lucky to have had the freedom to really put my stamp on it and to expand and create programs as I saw fit. I’ve also had the privilege of working with a truly fantastic team of instructors whom I’ll really miss.” What’s next for Meyer? “I’m off to live and work in China for a year,” she said. “I’ve always wanted to live abroad, and I finally thought it’s now or never. So I accepted a position teaching English, business and French at Guangxi Normal University in Guilin. After years of helping our students achieve their bucket list goal of learning to ride a motorcycle, I’m now off to experience one of my lifelong goals. It’s a great opportunity. Meyer has enjoyed her work at the KDSC, but she’s ready for a change. “Although the rewards are great, the stress and long hours of non-profit management work can be high, as these organizations tend to exist in a perpetual state
of constant under-funding and understaffing,” she said. Statistics show that 67 per cent of nonprofit managers leave their positions in under five years, and only half of those intend to be executive directors again.
“Although the rewards are great, the stress and long hours of nonprofit management work can be high...” — Tania Meyer
“Non-profit managers often do everything from fundraising, marketing, program development and financial management, to general admin work and cleaning public washrooms,” said Meyer. “We’re Jacks and Jills of all trades, and the burnout rate is high. After 19 years in the nonprofit sector, I need a break to recharge my energy and my creativity and focus on myself for a while. “I’m looking forward to a reduced work week and a chance to dial back, have some adventures, and stretch my skills in a different direction. But the decision to leave was definitely a difficult one.”
During her tenure at KDSC, Meyer fundraised more than $980,000, strengthened KDSC’s presence in the media, formed many new community partnerships, oversaw renovations to make the children’s Safety Village wheelchair accessible, set all policies and procedures, and greatly expanded its programs. KDSC’s strong reputation for its high quality training programs has resulted in a customer base from throughout B.C. and beyond. In addition to running KDSC’s popular Motorcycle Training Program and the Little Travellers’ Safety Village, Meyer brought in an ICBC-approved Driver Training Program in 2011 and established several annual events such as the Halloween Haunt, the bus trip to the Vancouver Motorcycle Show, and the Harley Davidson raffle. “I’d like to thank all of KDSC’s customers, sponsors, community supporters, media partners, volunteers, instructors, staff and board members who have contributed to KDSC’s success,” she said. “It was truly a team effort, and I know that KDSC will continue to grow and to serve the community well in the years to come.” For information on any of KDSC’s programs, including the Driver and Rider Training Programs and the Little Travellers’ Safety Village, call 765-3163 or visit www.kdsc.bc.ca.

Morning Star Staff
A sultry August night. Excellent food and wine. Enchanting company. Extraordinary art. It all equals a wonderful evening that once again proves Splash of Red is one of the Okanagan’s premier summer events. On Thursday, the fourth annual Italian evening and art fundraiser once again took place in the gardens of the Caetani Cultural Centre. The proceeds from the sold-out event, art auction and raffle will go towards the goal and long-term project of opening up the house for more community access.
Emcee Betty Selin of Sun FM and auctioneer Paul Bielby of Benefit Auctions Inc. kept the action running smoothly as paintings, sculpture, glass and pottery — all donated by 20 local artists — were auctioned off. Harpist Holly Smith performed as guests enjoyed an Italian feast prepared by Basket Case Picnics, along with flutes of prosecco, followed by Okanagan Spirits’ own grappa, distilled from Gray Monk winery grapes. “The Splash has become part of the cultural fabric of Vernon,” said Caetani board chair Angelika “AJ” Jaeger, who organized the original Splash along with singer Judy Rose and fellow artist Michelle Loughery.

Arts Ferguson plays Lorenzo’s Morning Star Staff
Wendell Ferguson has hit another high point in his career. On top of the Juno nominations, the 10 CCMA Awards, (six consecutive ones for Guitarist of the Year) two international film awards and a Canadian Folk Music Award for Instrumental Album of the Year, he’s the current artist inductee into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame. “And all I can do is play the guitar and write songs, and entertain,” said the Ontario native. “I didn’t really feel comfortable being bestowed with that Hall of Fame honour — I mean, Hank Snow, Gordon Lightfoot, Anne Murray, Ian and Sylvia, the Good Brothers and me? C’mon! I don’t live in that rarefied air.” But when a fellow musician thanked him for winning one for “us,” Ferguson took another look at the inductee list. “Once I realized Al Cherney, Maurice Bolyer, Don Messer, Ward Allen and many other great musicians were on there, I started to feel a little better about it,” he said. This summer is filled with gigs and festivals from one end of the
country to the other. “I kind of have one foot in the folk world and one in the country world,” said Ferguson. “Country audiences know me as a hot, chicken-pickin’ and finger-style guitarist. But the folk audiences see the funny, songwriting side of me along with the guitar playing.” He said he’s just as happy being a sideman or a session player as he is being in the spotlight. “As long as I get to make music, it’s always a good day.” Ferguson has played a number of festivals this summer, including Dauphin’s Countryfest, Burke’s Falls Country Jamboree, Kingsville Folk Music Festival and the Salmon Arm Roots & Blues Festival. People ask Ferguson when he’s going to retire. “How do you retire from a life of leisure? And why would I? I love what I do and it just gets more and more fun.” Wendell Ferguson plays Lorenzo’s Cafe today at 8 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. Cover charge is $10. Lorenzo’s is at 901 Mabel Lake Rd. in Enderby. For more information, see lorenzoscafe. com or call 250-838-6700.

Sabrina Weeks and Swing Cat Bounce play Music by the River in Enderby today.
Band brings the ‘Swing’ Morning Star Staff
Sabrina Weeks and Swing Cat Bounce bring their high energy boogie blues to Music by the River this afternoon. Presented by the Enderby & District Arts Council, the concert takes place at Belvidere Park near the bridge at 3 p.m. Weeks and her lively dance band, Swing Cat Bounce, have performed at Music by the River in past years and at the 2014 Enderby Arts Festival. “Mainly from Kamloops and vicinity, this little city band has a big city sound, playing high energy boogie blues,” said Diana Inselberg, vice-president of the Enderby & District Arts Council. Weeks’ exceptional and award-winning voice works equally well with ballads, blues and swing. “She always delights and surprises and they are a great band to dance to,” said Inselberg, adding that this is the last Music by the River concert of the season. The concert is sponsored by Enderby & District Financial. They ask that attendees bring a non-perishable food item as part of their Feed the Valley initiative. The concert is free, but donations will be accepted during intermission. Bring a chair or blanket, and the whole family. Refreshments will be available for pur-
chase. In case of rain or cold weather, the con-
cert will move indoors to the Enderby Drill Hall.

HEALTH TIP WILL BELEY
brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist
There has been much in the news lately about marijuana and weather it truly helps certain conditions. The U.S. government granted permission to 10 centres to run trials on cannabidiol, a liquid extract of marijuana that has no psychoactive properties but may have some anticonvulsant properties for people with epilepsy. Preliminary results showed a 46% reduction in total seizures. More studies will be carried out to see if these results are reproducible. Diabetics who inject insulin are reminded to rotate their injection sites regularly. Injecting into the same area all the time can develop fatty scar tissue. Also if you need more insulin than your pen or syringe can hold, do two separate injections rather than keeping the needle in while you measure out the rest of the dose. Cilia are hair-like structures in the inner ear whose job it is to convert sound waves into electrical signals sent to the brain. These hairs are very fragile and can be damaged irreversibly by continuous loud sounds. Using ear buds can contribute to this damage if the volume is high. You should be able to carry on a conversation with someone nearby while listening. If not, it’s too loud. Pharmacists and doctors use the term “blood thinners” when describing certain drugs like warfarin. These drugs don’t actually “thin the blood”, but rather keep harmful clots from forming in the blood vessels. They do it by blocking the activity of vitamin K in the body. This vitamin is important in blood clotting. Sometimes, simple words are used to explain complex situations. We try to answer your questions in an easily understood manner. It’s our job as your pharmacist.

yet also cliché. Solo is Superman, quite literally. It’s difficult to look at Henry Cavill and not see at least Clark Kent. He delivers all his lines like he’s learned English by watching movies from the ‘30s. It’s weird, but after a while it wins you over because Solo is a pompous ass, for whom life is a stage. Armie Hammer’s KGB agent is pretty quiet, but with a quick temper. Hammer is good enough for the role, his hands shaking with theatrical rage, his Russian accent sounding very much like when you make it yourself: “There is problem with generator.” U.N.C.L.E. is not a movie to fret over performances. It’s more of a pretty, flashing amusement ride

where nobody matters. Especially Gaby Teller, she despite being the impetus for the team being built in the first place, is merely led from scene to scene. Other than being the daughter of a nuclear scientist, she has no purpose in the tale, beyond sexual tension. But then again, it is the ‘60s. I think The Man from U.N.C.L.E. would fail completely if it wasn’t so cool. It suckers you. It suckered me. — I give the Man from U.N.C.L.E. 3.5 future sunglasses out of 5.

of this by way of it taking place in the ‘60s and being about flashy super spies. This musn’t have been only the intention of director Guy Ritchie, but of everyone working on the film, cinematographer to editor. The Man from U.N.C.L.E. isn’t just giving us characters in the ‘60s, the film itself feels like it was made in the ‘60s. Some might argue that jump cuts, montage, music video style and too-cool-forschool performances are the hallmarks of Guy Ritchie movies and they’d be right. But Sherlock Holmes doesn’t view the same as The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Ritchie, perhaps, belongs in the ‘60s. U.N.C.L.E. is comfortable there, no need for an update. The story itself needn’t concern you. Some baddies are gonna kill us all if these agents don’t overcome

Horoscope BY EUGENIA LAST
YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY It’s never too late to start over. You can reach the top of your profession by learning about changing trends and implementing new methods. Make education an ongoing process that challenges your mind. Travel will introduce you to someone who will impact your future.
Crossword Puzzle
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) If you have been too outspoken, make apologies. Remarks told in confidence will become known if you are indiscreet. Consider the consequence of your words and actions. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Call someone you haven’t spoken to in a while. A reunion with old friends will be sure to bring back happy memories and encourage you to reconsider an unmet goal. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Don’t get downhearted if your progress has been slow. Dedication and hard work will ensure that you reach your objectives, but patience and a positive attitude will be necessary. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You will be in the mood to party, but overindulgence and overspending must be curbed. Moderation is key, and boundaries must be set. Nothing kills a good mood faster than suddenly going into debt. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Someone you know will face difficulties and need your help. Your kindness and consideration will be appreciated and rewarded in an unusual and unexpected, yet quite felicitous, manner.
Previous Solution
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Love and romance are in a high cycle. Do something nice for your loved one, or if you are single, participate in social or community events in order to meet someone special. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Loss and confusion are apparent. Keep your money and assets in a safe place at all times. Don’t let down your guard or become distracted. Be especially wary when traveling. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Remember what your goals were and consider if they
still hold relevance for you. You can make extra cash by reviving one of your more promising concepts or talents. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You will be short-tempered today, so find a solitary pastime to keep you from saying or doing something you will regret. Don’t share your opinion; it could damage a relationship. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Live it up. New acquaintances will be blown away by your irresistible, fun-loving attitude. You will meet someone enticing if you are willing to try something different. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Neglecting minor health issues is a mistake. Deal with ailments before they escalate into more serious problems. Keep an eye on your budget. Financial difficulties will develop.

HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder READ THE LEAD TO GUIDE THE PLAY Friedrich von Schlegel, a German writer and critic who died in 1829, said, “A critic is a reader who ruminates. Thus, he should have more than one stomach.” He was also a comedian, apparently. A top bridge player needs to be a reader of both the bidding - his side’s and the opponents’ - and the cards played. In this deal, the card-reading starts at the first trick. How should South plan the play in four spades after West leads the heart nine? North’s two no-trump was the Jacoby Forcing Raise, showing at least game values with four or more spades and, typically, no
singleton or void (else North would have made a splinter bid). South’s four-spade rebid was his weakest action. There is a risk that declarer will lose one spade, two hearts and one club. But what does the heart nine signify? It is top of nothing. East must have the heart ace-jack. If that is so, declarer can freeze the suit momentarily by playing dummy’s queen. East wins with the ace, but cannot return a heart without conceding a trick in the suit. South wins East’s diamondqueen shift with his ace, draws two rounds of trumps, then drives out the club ace. This establishes a discard for his heart loser.
Note that if declarer plays the heart 10 at trick one, he should go down. East covers with his jack to drive out South’s king. Then, when West gets in with his club ace, a second heart lead gives the defenders two tricks in the suit, along with the spade queen and club ace.

Marjory Irene Brown July 11, 1921 - August 10, 2015
It’s with great sadness we announce the passing of Marjory Irene Brown (nee Campbell) at 94 years of age at Laurel Place Hospice in Surrey BC. She was pre-deceased by her husband Thomas Sperling Brown in 2000, brother Lyle Campbell in 2015 and grandson Craig Skelley in 1995. She’ll be lovingly remembered by her sister Phyllis and brother Harold; her children Sylvia, Wayne, Sharon, Rod, Don and Phyllis; her 12 grand-children and 21 great-grandchildren along with extended family and many friends.

Armand Joseph Gauthier 1929 - 2015 With broken hearts we announce the passing of our loving husband, father, grandfather and brother, Armand on August 16th, 2015 in the Vernon Jubilee Hospital at the age of 85 years. Armand is survived by his wife Betty, to whom he was married for 62 years; his son, David (Marianne); his grandson, Dusty; one brother, Leo (Olga); two sisters, Vivian Fladager and Marguerite (Hans) Horne; numerous nieces, nephews and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Wilfred and Simone Gauthier; his daughter, Shelly; three brothers, Ted, George and Arthur; and his sister, Delina Doell. Armand lived a full life, farming and logging, then retiring after 25 years of being a millwright in both Golden and Lumby. Armand’s passion consisted of his family and fishing. He was actively involved in bowling and curling leagues and loved to watch baseball. Armand was also a member of the Lumby Lions Club while living in the Lumby area. He always loved to share his memories of growing up on the family homestead. He would share stories that could either make you laugh or cry. Armand was a loving husband and father who always took care of his wife and children before himself. He will be greatly missed; his laugh will always be remembered; his hugs felt for an eternity; his love that he gave so freely, will forever remain in our hearts. In respecting Armand’s wishes, he was cremated and there will be no funeral service held. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Armand to the Lung Association of B.C., P.O. Box 34009, Postal Station D, Vancouver, B.C. V6J 4M2. Cremation arrangements were made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD., 5605-27th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 8Z5 • 250-542-1187

Thank You
We, the family of the late Lorna Ricard, would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone that has helped us over this very difficult last year and four months: The people at the Vernon Cancer Clinic; the entire staff on 2 West at VJH; the Vernon Hospice House — not only the paid employees but also the many volunteers — you are ALL wonderful. We would also like to thank all who expressed their condolences with their cards, notes, calls, visits and donations made in her name. Your hugs and kind words gave us strength. We felt the love and friendship of the many people attending her service. Also, thank you to the many people that supported her (and us) through her brave journey. Another special thank you to the ones that continue to help and support us with this tremendous loss.

She’s an outdoor enthusiast ... and Armstrong’s newest Hearing Professional! We’re delighted to announce that Brietana Finch has now officially assumed management of the Nexgen Hearing clinic from her predecessor, Brenda Bone who has recently retired to spend more time with her family. Brietana was born and raised in Vernon, BC and began her experience in the hearing health profession as a Customer Care Representative. With a new zeal to advance her career, Brie then attended Grant MacEwan University and soon graduated from the Hearing Aid Practitioner (HIP) program. Recently married, Brietana loves to keep active with soccer, volleyball and other outdoor activities. When she isn’t out fishing or hiking you most likely find her baking.

Morning Star Staff
As wildfires continue to destroy property and force residents from their homes in Rock Creek and Oliver, B.C. Liquor Store customers can now support Red Cross relief efforts for fire victims by donating in stores throughout the province. To help those impacted by wildfires, the Red Cross asked B.C. Liquor Stores to join their relief efforts. This includes providing evacuees with immediate needs such as blankets, food and water, reuniting residents with family members, and assisting with longer-term needs such as replacing equipment to return to work and helping with rent. “This is a tremendously stressful and difficult time for those impacted by the wildfires in the southern Interior,” said Kimberley Nemrava, Red Cross provincial director for B.C. and Yukon. “Recovering from a disaster is usually a long and expensive journey, so we are very thankful for the support of the B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch and all its stores and customers who help their neighbours when they’re hit by a disaster.” Customers can make donations of $2 or $5 – or multiples thereof – at checkouts in 196 B.C. Liquor Stores provincewide. B.C. Liquor Stores customers and employees have supported Red Cross disaster relief for humanitarian crises at home and abroad since 2003, when stores first collected donations to support victims affected by catastrophic wildfires raging that summer in the province.
Please be advised construction on 22 Street between 43 Avenue and Harwood School is scheduled to start the week of August 17 and be completed the week of October 19. The City of Vernon (COV) forces will be rehabilitating the Sanitary main and road works. 22 Street will be closed within the construction area, but access to homes will be possible. Although every reasonable effort will be made to minimize the impact of the construction on 22 Street and at the intersection of 43 Avenue, some disruption will be unavoidable. Traffic management and pedestrian access through and around the site will be the priority. For more information on this project please call Resident Site Inspector Mike Danyluk, (MMM Group) at 250-808-9884 September
