RCMP probe death RICHARD ROLKE
Morning Star Staff
The investigation continues after a body was located in Vernon’s Polson Park A deceased man in his 40s was found near the lawn bowling club at about 10 a.m. Wednesday. “We don’t know exactly what we’re dealing with yet,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “We don’t have anything obvious for a cause of death.” Molendyk will not speculate on whether the incident is suspicious. “We treat it like a homicide but it may not be a homicide,” he said.
LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
Police investigate after a body was found in Polson Park Wednesday morning. A large section of the park was closed off as evidence was gathered. “We don’t know if we’re dealing with a major crime scene or if someone passed away.” The B.C. Coroners Service and the RCMP’s serious crimes unit
are involved in the investigation. “We are waiting for autopsy results,” said Molendyk, adding that process will be done in the next few days.
Games at the Vernon Lawn Bowling Club were cancelled Wednesday morning and police tape restricted public access to a large area ranging from the lawn
bowling clubhouse to the bandshell and the skateboard park. The public was allowed back into those areas Wednesday afternoon.
Support ready for evicted motel tenants RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Assistance remains available for some Vernon residents facing eviction. Tenants of 25th Avenue’s Green Valley Motel must be out of their units by Monday and there has been some concern about where they will go. Sharkey “The service provider community does expect that a number of people will be
homeless when the Green Valley Motel closes,” said Annette Sharkey, with the Social Planning Council. It’s not specifically known how many tenants are impacted. “Although we have heard through the grapevine that some tenants have made their own plans, only a handful of tenants have connected to housing outreach services,” said Sharkey. “The community is rallying around the John Howard Society and its shelter services as we expect it will feel the most pressure. B.C. Housing has provided extra resources and the Gateway Shelter will
have the ability to open their mat program in the basement if there is a rush on shelter beds.” Sharkey says service agencies are just waiting to see what the demand will be for assistance. “The community is prepared to support the tenants as much as possible with the resources available.” Sixty-day eviction notices were issued in June and at the time, one of the owners stated eviction was necessary because the bank had called the mortgage and the hope was the property may be easier to sell if it is vacant.

However, when contacted Wednesday, the owner stated that he and his partners are taking a different direction with the property now. “We will renovate the place and in the next three months, there will be a nice building on the corner,” said the owner, who asked not to be identified. “We won’t sell it right away, maybe some time in the future.” The property will no longer be used as a hotel and will be marketed as apartments. “We will likely hire a company to rent it out for us and it will be run totally different,” said the owner.

Locals step up for cancer ride LISA VANDERVELDE Morning Star Staff
A two-day, 200-kilometre bike ride might seem like an impossible feat but compared to fighting cancer it’s just like riding a bike. Seven local riders are slipping into their bike shorts and strapping on their helmets to join the Ride To Conquer Cancer, benefitting the B.C. Cancer Foundation, which starts in Vancouver on Saturday and finishes in Seattle. Wayne Carlson, of Vernon, has always wanted to tackle a long bike ride, and after hearing that his friends Doug and Carol Owen lost their 26-year-old son Richard to cancer, he chose to ride in his memory. Carlson, 60, has been training a lot to prepare himself for the taxing ride and says he has never quit on one hill because he thinks of his friends and how they never quit on their son. “I just think of them (Doug and Carol Owen) and the mountains that they had to climb as they supported their son. I’m just riding a bike so that is pretty simple,” said Carlson. Carlson has managed to raise more than $4,000 for cancer research. Local nurse Jamie Hunsberger has raised $3,205 and is riding for her aunt Michele Williams who lost her battle with cancer this January. Williams spent her career as an oral medicine specialist fighting cancer and was the leader for the Ride To Conquer Cancer team Better Outcomes. Over Christmas, Hunsberger and her aunt discussed her taking part in the ride this year. “We talked about how I wanted to do this ride and join her team Better

Michele Williams as she participated in the Ride To Conquer Cancer. Outcomes and she gave me her bike.” Hunsberger was very close to her aunt who encouraged her to finish school to become a registered nurse. “I will be riding Michele’s bike with pride and join many of our family as we ride in her honour. I am pleased to contribute to oral cancer research,” said Hunsberger. “I know that Michele would have been proud and will be cheering us on.”

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A fire that forced a local golf course to shut down temporarily was electrical. Fire broke out at about 11 p.m. Tuesday in the kitchen at the Vernon Golf and Country Club. The cause has been linked to a cord on a small appliance that got pinched between a table and a wall. “It got real hot and started to arc on the table,” said Lawrie Skolrood, Vernon deputy fire chief. “We remind people to unplug their appliances when they leave because you never know if they are energized.” There is fire and smoke damage inside the kitchen. “The kitchen area will be shut down for some time,” said Jack Blair, deputy fire chief. The pro shop and the golf course reopened Wednesday afternoon. It’s not known when the clubhouse will be back in service.

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
B.C.’s lone Green MLA says there’s a need for the province’s economy to diversify. Andrew Weaver, MLA for Oak Bay-Gordon Head and deputy leader of the B.C. Greens, made a stop in Vernon Tuesday as part of an Okanagan tour. “I want to know what the barriers to success are,” he said of visiting area businesses, including Davison Orchards. “This is a family owned business and it employs 100 people. The money stays in the community. This is one example of an innovative business I’m trying to learn about.” Weaver, who is running for leadership of the Greens, says the current Liberal government has a narrow economic focus and he wants to broaden the scope. “We won’t be rah, rah LNG bullshit. What we have that is unique is agriculture and value-added forestry,” he said. “There is no global market for LNG. The market is oversupplied. I am not anti-LNG but it’s fiscal folly to chase a falling star. We shouldn’t be chasing what everyone else can do. We should focus on what we can do.”
“I want to learn.” — Andrew Weaver
Weaver says touring the Okanagan and other parts of B.C. is important so he has first-hand knowledge of the diverse communities. “I want to learn. I was elected as MLA for Oak Bay-Gordon Head and I want the party to put a strong showing across the province in 2017 (provincial election).” Weaver wishes the national Greens well in the current federal election, but he says he won’t be getting involved in that campaign. “We share similar values but the B.C. Greens are a big tent for those who want to reclaim democracy from large unions and large corporate interests,” he said. Weaver believes strategic voting to stop the federal Conservatives from being re-elected is a mistake. “High voter turnout is bad for the Harper Conservatives. Get people out to vote for who they want and not who they think they should vote for to get Harper out.”

District staff target noise JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Some noisy early-morning contractors are causing a ruckus in Coldstream. The district has received several complaints from residents about machinery and equipment being fired up at around 6:30 a.m. in a Middleton Mountain development. “Our start time is 7 a.m.,” said Keri-Ann Austin, director of corporate administration. “We expect our contractors and people we work with to adhere to that.” Although the bylaw enforcement officer has visited the site frequently and issued a ticket, which was later reduced to a warning, the problem is trying to catch individuals in the act. “It’s difficult to ticket when you’re not there to see what’s going on,” said Austin, as staff do not start shifts that early. But that could soon change as Coldstream looks at adjusting some of the officer’s shifts which will
Spall fires keep crews busy JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
A r mst rong Spallumcheen firefighters have been busy protecting the region. Wednesday proved to be particularly action-packed as crews started off with a vehicle over the bank in Spallumcheen on Pleasant Valley Road at 11:25 a.m. Then the evening picked up as two fires broke out in Spallumcheen. A small grass fire by the side of Rashdale Road was quickly knocked down after the call came in just before 5 p.m. “It was probably 50 feet by 12 feet. There’s no determination of cause on that,” said chief Ian Cummings. The larger challenge came with a brush fire off Highway 97A, north of Greenhow Road. “It was 700 to 800 feet off the highway up on the side of the mountain,” said Cummings. “It was about half-anacre in size.” BX-Swan Lake and wildfire crews were on scene assisting in fighting the blaze, which had crews on scene for three hours. No truck access was possible, forcing crews to drag lines up the mountain face. “The guys had to walk up and it was
fairly steep terrain,” said Cummings. Crews were back on scene Thursday to monitor hot spots and attempt to figure out how the blaze began.
“We can use that as evidence.”
— Keri-Ann Austin hopefully deter the early morning starts. “Word would get out that he may just show up from time to time,” said Coun. Pat Cochrane. Residents can also play a role by video recording, with audio and a time stamp of some sort, any contraventions to the noise bylaw. “We can use that as evidence,” said Austin. Residents are also reminded that it is OK for contractors to show up at the job site early. They just can’t start equipment until 7 a.m.

There has been some anxiety since word came in June that tenants at the Green Valley Motel would be evicted by Aug. 31. Questions have revolved about where these individuals would go and what, if any, impact this may have on the community at large. However, instead of just sitting on the sidelines and waiting to see what may happen, leadership has been shown by key social agencies in Vernon. “The service provider community does expect that a number of have a carefully curated collection of our people will be homeless when the handiwork. Mine includes my plaster handGreen Valley Motel closes,” said print from kindergarten, which is actually Annette Sharkey, with the Social rather cool to have. Planning Council.

Collecting or hoarding?
t what point does an interesting collection of items collected on one’s travels turn into hoarding? As someone who hates clutter, I am in no way, shape or form a hoarder. My desk must be neat before I leave at the end of the day. At home, I have empty boxes I fill with stuff I no longer need; when they are full I wait for a charity garage sale and off they go. I’m not someone who struggles with extra paper and junk mail as I am ruthless with it: once it’s been looked at, into Katherine Mortimer the blue box it goes. When my husband dares to put his wallet and keys on the counter, he’s not in the door more than five seconds before I’ve repositioned them on top of the dryer (which I suspect is a hold-all for many households). But recently, he accused me of being a hoarder and it shocked me until I realized I did indeed have hoarding tendencies. I was cleaning out the basement and organizing things on newly purchased wire shelving. Among the items I was organizing was a number of plastic storage containers, all filled with memorabilia. A lot of it was letters and birthday cards I had received since I was very young, but most of it was stuff my daughter had created, starting when she first began using fingerpaints, progressing through to more intricate projects involving feathers and other found objects. In other words, these were all valuable treasures with which I could not part. I had literally saved anything to which my precious child had applied so much as a crayon stroke, But was it crucial to save every school supply list and every party invitation, particularly to parties hosted by children whom she probably wouldn’t recognize if she ran into them on the street? My mom had three kids, and all of us now

Need for arena sparks questions
n response to Brennan Seltzer (New rink is a must have), I have several points to speak to. I would like to say at the outset, that I am not completely against a new rink as I know we need one for the adults and children to use. But we must take into consideration the following. First, he states that by building a new rink, we would see a slight increase in taxes. Well, we have got taken in before with a new water system at Duteau Creek and the new track at the college, with no idea of how many will use it. Both of these have increased my taxes considerably, and we have to look at more water improvements, a new police station, the recreation complex will have to be replaced in five years even with the upgrades, a new museum and art gallery and the Priest Valley Gym is going to need upgrading soon. The result is let's pay off some of these debts before we look at taking on more. I am a senior citizen, as are a growing number of people in the area, on a fixed income. We are still managing to live in our own home for now, but with more taxes combined with increased costs in food and gas, we do not know for how long. He also states that a new rink will make us a destina-
STICKLE ROAD As I understand it, the speed limit on Highway 97 from points north to Swan Lake is 100 kilometres per hour. From Swan Lake to Vernon city limits, it is 90 km/hr. In reality, most southbound traffic is ignoring the speed limit reduction and traveling at 100 km/hr or more right up to and on to the overpass. As the traffic engineers say, lights at Stickle Road would impede traffic. That is a good thing. There are a couple launch pads in the southbound lanes at the sharpest part of the curve just at the top of the ramp. If one hits those ramps at 80 to 100 kilometres per hour, especially under wet conditions, traveling south in a positive or clock-wise direction, they will take off in a tangential direction into the lane on their left which could be occupied by someone travelling north. Jim Davis DRIVE RESPONSIBLY I keep hearing the word com-
tion place for major and minor tournaments Mr. Frater, he quotes, as also stating that we could host additional tournaments — instead of our usual eight teams we could attract 12 to 16-team tournaments. To start with, we will be competing with Penticton, Salmon Arm and Kelowna. But these centres are already well established in attracting these events. To help us make our minds up, please sports clubs have solid tournaments that we could attract and the number of people, not contracts but just something in writing that will show that all parties are serious.
mon sense thrown around regarding the proposed new T intersection at Stickle Road. Common sense will also tell you that almost no one drives the speed limit between Swan Lake and Vernon because they are speeding and frequently speeding excessively. Ninety-nine per cent of drivers will pass you if you are going 92 kilometres per hour and 98 per cent will be passing you if you happen to be going 95 kilometres per hour. I suggest that until society learns to drive responsibly and within the law, that no traffic light should be placed in the middle of this very busy highway. Steve Dirkson THANK YOU I wish to send a heartfelt thanks to all the doctors and nurses in the emergency department and on floor two at the hospital. Your outstanding care and compassion helped us through a very difficult time. I would also like to express spe-
cial thanks to all blood donors. My husband has a rare blood type, B-negative, and if it wasn’t for people like you, I would not have him with me today. For those who have thought of donating blood, and haven’t got around to it, please do. You have no idea how many lives you will be saving. Lyn Pierce and family NOT SO LAUGHABLE I am writing about your article on Vernon's athletes at the Western Canada Summer Games. First of all, a round of applause for all of Team B.C.'s athletes is well-deserved. They were gracious in defeat and (more often than not) victory. Unfortunately, your article goes against this good grace in calling the 11-0 soccer victory over the Yukon a "laugher." I was on that Yukon team and we were proud that we were able to play hard against a province with a much larger pool of players to select for the team.
He also states that he expects the hotel parking lots to be full, restaurants to have increased visitation and families spending throughout the community. I personally know many workers in the hospitality industry and they say that with the past tournaments we have hosted, the promise of more business did not happen. Many were given extra hours but because of low response, they were sent home early. All of the money that everyone says that comes into the area is true but it mostly goes to the big hotels and restaurants and this money usually leaves town. In the hotels I am told, they just make more work for the same number of employees. Kids do not eat and drink at the fancy restaurants but at fast food restaurants. We must also wait for the next census to come out or have the government give us an accurate count of the number of children under the age of 16 that will use the new rink now and any projected increase or decrease in this population. At present, we are losing our younger residents as indicated by the number enrolling in school, so an accurate picture of our population is one of the most important pieces of information we will need to make a decision as it pertains to us personally. Garry Haas
For example, we had so few players trying out that we only cut two players from the final squad, and one of them was only 12-years-old (trying out for a U-16 competition). Compare that to B.C.'s extensive tryout system. Finally, look at the populations in comparison. If the Yukon's 37,000 people were to play against B.C.'s 4.6 million people and the score did it justice, B.C. should win by a score of 124-1. Compared to that, 11-0 doesn't seem like such a "laugher." Matthias Hoenisch THANKS TYLER I am writing to inform you of my recent experience with Morning Star employee Tyler Lowey. I requested help with obtaining photographs from as far back as 2011 and within two days and some extensive searching on his part, he had all of the pictures e-mailed to me without complaint. I was impressed. Sonja Blundell

News Parade marches into Armstrong
Poind Pals
Morning Star Staff
Large crowds are expected to line the streets of Armstrong for the Interior Provincial Exhibition parade. Presented by the Armstrong-Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce, the parade begins at 10 a.m. Sept. 5. “This year, it will be a Party ‘til the Cows Come Home theme, celebrating the IPE dairy division and it promises to be fun for all,” said Patti Noonan, chamber executive director. “More than 90 entries have been accepted to date – community, business, bands, equestrian units, floats, mascots, animal units and vintage vehicles.” The viewing area for the parade is along Pleasant Valley Road beginning at Memorial Park to the corner of Smith Drive and Rosedale Avenue. “Take advantage of the green space at Memorial Park and along Pleasant Valley Road across from Armstrong Collison and Armstrong Bottle Depot,” said Noonan. A reminder that access into downtown Armstrong will be very limited during the parade. “Visitors are asked to be in town before road closures begin at 9:30 a.m.,” said Noonan. “If you are coming to town after 9:30 a.m., use the alternate routes via Otter Lake or Lansdowne roads.” LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR

Racing boats making waves BARB BROUWER Black Press
It is the court of last resort, but ColumbiaShuswap Regional District directors want staff to pursue the subject of high-powered cigar boats on Shuswap and Mara lakes with Transport Canada. The subject was a late-agenda item at the board’s recent meeting. Planner Jan Thingsted described cigarette, cigar boats and wake boats, and advised directors that the regional district has had a notable increase in the number of complaints about cigar boats and races. He said the complaints come primarily from waterfront owners and other lake users in regard to noise and speed. Thingsted said the CSRD had adopted the Shuswap marine noise control program in 1982 to control marine noise on specified water bodies in the Shuswap by prohibiting vessels from operating without conventional
“The enforcement has proven to be difficult.” — Jim Thingsted
wet exhaust systems or suitable mufflers. “The enforcement of this bylaw has proven to be very difficult since the CSRD lacks the required technical capability, enforcement capacity and more importantly, the jurisdictional authority,” wrote Thingsted in his report to the board, noting CSRD bylaw enforcement officers don’t have a boat capable of intercepting these boats and have no authority to board vessels for inspection. Vessel operation restriction regulations (VORR) are a responsibility of Transport Canada and are established under the Canada Shipping Act.
Any level of government can request the federal government to restrict the use of vessels on all bodies of water in Canada pertaining to prohibition, engine power or propulsion, speed limits, towing, sporting or recreational activity including wake boat surfing or prohibiting a sporting, recreational or public event or activity. However, “Transport Canada considers VORRs to be the last resort for solving problems and are only to be requested when all other non-regulatory approaches have been tried,” reads Thingsted’s report, noting Transport Canada emphasizes: “Meaningful stakeholder consultation is a key component when pursuing a VORR and must be properly documented to be considered in the application package that Transport Canada reviews.” But, after considerable discussion, board members directed staff to investigate the development of vessel operation restrictions.

Cooper grabs share of fifth Morning Star Staff
LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
Goalie Jarrod Schamerhorn (centre) stretches at the start of Viper practice with Liam Finlay (from left), Joe Sacco, Griffin James and Jordan Robinson Wednesday at Kal Tire Place. The Vipers host the Salmon Arm Silverbacks in exhibition play Saturday night.
Vets in Viper crease TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Vipers will be leaning on veteran presence for their last line of defence as the enter their B.C. Hockey League exhibition season with a pair of 20-year-old netminders. Kelowna product Jarrod Schamerhorn bounced around five different teams and two different leagues the past five seasons. Now, after a breakthrough year with the Vipers, he has a place to call home. “I love coming back here,” said Schamerhorn. “The fans, the coaches and everyone treated me like family last year. It’s like coming home again.” Completing his most successful year in Junior, Schamerhorn went 24-12-1 with a .907 save percentage and 2.71 goals against average. He has also played with the Nanaimo Clippers and Merritt Centennials of the BCHL and the Lethbridge Hurricanes and Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League. Schamerhorn didn’t just hang out at Gyro Beach checking out the scenery after nearly knocking off the Penticton Vees in Game 7 of the Interior Division Finals. He spent his summer in the lab,
working on his game. “I trained everyday with my trainer in Kelowna and worked a lot with my goalie coach in Penticton about playing bigger and using better angles,” said Schamerhorn. “I’m going to use my size a lot better this year.” The other 20-year-old tendy is Alaskan product Andrew Shortridge, and he is enjoying the competition at camp so far. “The compete level is pretty high here. Everyone wants to be in net and be the No. 1 guy,” said Shortridge. “But everyone is so nice here and they are great guys. It’s a friendly and extremely competitive camp; it’s great.” Shortridge played for the Aberdeen Wings of South Dakota in the North American Hockey League. He went 15-15-1 with a .913 save percentage and a 2.57 goals against average. “Competition is good in camp, lots of jobs are still available. Guys are going out and competing and that’s what we want to see,” said Vipers’ head coach/GM Mark Ferner. “Andrew is a good goalie and the other guy, (Joseph) McLeod is pretty good too.” McLeod turns 18 in October and played with the Kelowna Pursuit of Excellence Prep program.

Vernon’s Braeden Cooper finished in a fiveway share of fifth spot in the B.C. Bantam Golf Championships at Two Eagles Golf Course & Academy in West Kelowna. Cooper produced a final-round 66 Tuesday after opening with a 70 Monday on the par-65 track. Sean Buckles of North Vancouver (Seymour) won at 66-64-130, followed by Jeevan Sihota of Victoria (Gorge Vale) at 66-66-132 and Nolan Thoroughgood of Victoria (Royal Colwood) at 70-63-133. “My first day wasn’t very good,” said Cooper, who turns 15 in October. “I had one bad swing on three and had a double and that cost me. “My second day, I figured I would have to go 4-underish which is doeable on that course. But I was 3-over after four and then everything went pretty good after that.” Cooper has club tournaments remaining at Vernon and Hillview. Karen Zhang was crowned as Bantam girlschampion. The 36-hole tournament was played under grey skies, as winds carried smoke from American wildfires into the Okanagan. Buckles, 14, broke out of a pack of five players who started the day as co-leaders at 66. Buckles was one of only two boys to break par in the final round. Thoroughgood shot the low round 63 Tuesday. The tournament was decided on the 174-yard par-3 17th, where Buckles hit a gorgeous eight-iron to five feet, canning the birdie putt to take the lead. Sihota, playing in the same group, had to hit fiveiron, where he could only make bogey. “I knew it was close coming down the stretch and I was nervous on that tee, but I just focused and hit the shot,” said Buckles. “I stuffed it, so I was pretty happy.” Sihota, only 11, said he was pleased he hung on for a runner-up finish. “I was right in it until the last hole,” said Sihota. “Sean played great today and he deserves to win this. I’m happy for him.” Thoroughgood made a spirited run, including four birdies on his front nine. But overswinging on the 10th hole led to a double bogey. “I knew I had to go really low, maybe (-4) and I got it to that after nine,” said Thoroughgood. “My ball striking was pretty good, hitting it to five and six feet on the front, but the double on 10 really hurt me.” Meanwhile, Bryn Parry of Vancouver (Seymour Creek) claimed his third straight TaylorMade and Adidas Golf PGA of B.C. Championship at Fairview Mountain in Oliver.

“Until the real bullets start to fly, it’s hard to evaluate anything we have seen so far in camp,” said Ferner, who is busy implementing new habits and strategies during a week of practice. “Most teams might not think it’s smart keeping two 20-year-old goalies, but I’m looking at it as a luxury.” The coaching staff will wait until the end of the weekend before trimming the roster any further. The Vipers open their exhibition season with a home and home series with the Salmon Arm Silverbacks. They travel to the Shaw Centre tonight (7 p.m.) and host the Silverbacks Saturday night (6 p.m.) at Kal Tire Place. The Vipers regular season home opener goes Friday, Sept. 11 (7 p.m.) when they entertain the Trail Smoke Eaters at Kal Tire Place. Vernon product Cole Woodlife scored once for Team White in a 7-6 loss to Team Blue in the Merritt Centennials’ intrasquad game Wednesday. Woodliffe, 18, compiled 22 goals and 48 points with the KIJHL Summerland Steam last year, adding one goal in seven call-ups with the West Kelowna Warriors. Vernon’s Brett Jewell is also in Merritt’s camp. The 18-year-old produced 18 goals and 30 points with the KIJHL Osoyoos Coyotes last season. He got in seven games with the Cents. Both Woodliffe and Jewell are forwards.

Parry carded a finalround 70 Tuesday after opening with a 66. He received the William Thompson trophy and $6,000. The tournament, played over a smoky two days, saw multiple players come within strokes of snagging first place. “I felt that when I hit really good shots, I got great rewards, and when I hit mediocre shots, there was a lot of work left,” said Parry. “The work turned into extra work because my putting speed was a little off. So, every time I made a mistake I had a six or seven footer left. But some of them went in... enough of them went in.” Vernon’s Shannon Glenesk, who was near the top of the leaderboard after a 67 Monday, ballooned to an 83 Tuesday. He pocketed $150 in a four-way share of 37th place. Myles Johnson of Spallumcheen was in a five-way share of 32nd place with 75-74, good for $176. Parry previously took PGA of BC titles in 2000 and 2008. Zibrik’s second place finish earned him $4,200. Four players shared third at 130 for $2,375: Lindsay Bernakevitch (Victoria Golf Club), John Shin (Northview Surrey), Jeremy Johnson (Fairmont Hot Springs Resort), and Ben Griffin (Uplands Victoria).

Blazers sting Sharks Morning Star Staff
The AF Blazers bounced the Do-Itt Drywall Mudd Sharks 4-1 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division I play Tuesday night at Marshall Field #5. Krista Ference, Hannah Nesbitt, Shantell Hayhurst and Sarah Nelson, assisted by defender Amber Maltman, handled the Blazer attack. Hayhurst bicycle kicked her goal into the net. “Everyone played very well and had an awesome last game of the season,” said Hayhurst.
Briggs, Finley boost Reds’ attack
First-place Peacock Sheridan Group of Kelowna closed their season by shutting down the Ball Blasters 8-1 at smoky MacDonald Park. PSG took the league title at 16-2 with the tandem of Lindsey Briggs and Lana Finley combining for seven of the eight goals versus the Blazers, with Cheyenne Dedla adding her ninth of the season. Briggs bagged 25 goals on the season, while Finley finished with 22. The Ball Blasters opened the scoring on a partial breakaway beating Reds’ keeper Jenna Cole. PSG answered with 4 goals in each time shortened half. Both teams played short of 11 players. Nicole Berns was tireless on defence and in midfield for the Reds.
Acrobatic Reid jumpstarts Celtics
The North Enderby Timber Celtics finished the season by grounding Glenn Power United of Salmon Arm 4-2 at MacDonald Park. United opened the scoring on an 20-yard bender just under the crossbar, leaving Celtic keeper Carly Smith no chance. The Celtics responded with striker Tori Reid beating a defender in the box before feeding Ashley Krause for the tap in. In identical fashion as her first snipe, a Glenn Power player made it 2-1. The Celtics then mirrored their opening goal with Reid again dancing around defenders like a rythmic gymnast before setting up Krause with her second of the game.
The Celtics picked it up in the second half, making some positional changes in order to deal with having no subs. The new striker duo of Smith and Casey Benz took over in the second half. Benz started it off after a give and go with Smith. Benz sent Smith in on a breakaway only to be denied by a beautiful save by the keeper, but Benz was there to capatalize on the rebound. Smith then got some revenge curling one around the outstretched keeper. Daylinn Moesker and Debbie Henderson were all-stars on the Celtic backline, battling the smoke and shutting down United in the second half. Reid earned the Dairy Queen Lady of the Match with two assists and a second-half clean sheet.
Sistas brush back Merlot 5-1
In Masters play, the Adventure Bay Sistas ambushed the Shuswap Merlot 5-1 to end their season. Lanis Kelley threw the ball up the line to Diane Neudorf who beat a few defenders and then pelted a nice low ball into the net for the Sistas’ first goal. Bridget Frick then sent superstar Tammy Buick spinting into shooting range where her shot deflected off a Merlot defender, Buick then buried her own rebound. Janet Beltz replied for Merlot late in the opening half. Neudorf took a great though ball from Danise Pigeau, then turned and flicked the ball over the Merlot keeper early in the second 45. Andrea Zubot pressured the Merlot keeper to cough up the ball and then passed back to Lynnelle Erbacker at 10 yards out and Erbacker recorded fhr 4-1 goal. The final goal came as Zubot sent Dani Moffat on a run up the centre and Moffat nailed a 25-yard corker top cheddar. Bobbi Catt, Frick, Melanee Skinner, and Kelley held down the defence in front of keeper Wendy Nadeau, while Debra Rosher, Moffat, Nadine Danyluk and Nancy Bandy all delivered some splendid passes.

A sport on the rise with a funky sound is searching for a place to call home. “Pickleball is a non-strenuous sport for retired tennis players or young kids, and is a simple fun game,” said Pat Broschart, who is a member of the Great Vernon Pickleball Club. Vernon had two pickleball clubs, but they are merging into the GVPC and they have more than 200 members. Originating in a backyard in Wash., pickleball is a fairly new sport, in its 50th year of existence and is looking for a permanent home in Vernon. Pickleball is played on tennis courts. One tennis court can service four pickleball games. “Right now our biggest concern is not having dividers for the courts. When we get tournaments going with lots of games, balls are always rolling onto the court of another game,” said Broschart. He believes that more dedicated courts will not only be more accommodable, it will also help draw in tournaments and provincial championships. And the results of the clubs are starting to grow. Vernon is cranking out upper echelon pickleball talent and they are brining back medals from tournaments around B.C. At the Western Canadian National Pickleball Championships in Kelowna earlier in July, Vernon club members won 25 medals in a field of 300 teams. The following weekend, Salmon Arm hosted a 64-team tournament and the Vernon pickleballers won eight medals. Currently, Kelowna, Penticton, Salmon Arm and Kamloops all have courts designated for pickleball. TYLER LOWEY/MORNING STAR Myron Hocevar is the chair of the Great Jan Durand of the Greater Vernon Pickleball Association sends a backhand return Vernon Dedicated Courts Committee and his over the net at Sawicki Park. plan is to get the city to construct pickleball courts instead of more tennis courts. Pickleball courts use different size nets and have different “One of the areas we submitted a plan for was boundaries than badminton and tennis courts. The pickleball inside the running oval at Polson Park,” said Hocevar. The GVDCC likes the idea of placing courts in Polson Park courts would need dividers to keep the balls on the proper because of the open space and the noise pollution won’t harm courts and they wouldn’t have temporary nets. If the GVPC and the city of Vernon reach an agreement and any nearby residential areas. There is a crisp ‘clunk’ noise every time a pickleball is everything goes smoothly, Hocevar is hoping his courts will struck. There have been noise complaints for the games that be constructed by 2017. In the meantime, both merging pickleball groups are holdtake place in the residential areas. There is a constant buzz of the highway and there are no ing an open house next Saturday from 9 a.m. until noon at Sawicki Park. nearby housing units that could be bothered by the sound. “There will be a pancake breakfast and plenty of games as Hocevar’s group is currently meeting and planning their we raise awareness about pickleball in Vernon and discuss the presentation for city council in October. “We have talked with Mayor Akbal Mund and he has given planning phase for our courts,” said Hocevar. “It’s a free event us positive feedback. We are just trying to figure out when, and all people need to bring is a pair of runners, we will have where and the size of the facility we are looking to install,” extra paddles for beginners.” Anyone is welcome to attend drop-in games.

Willa Cather, an author who achieved recognition for her novels of frontier life and won a Pulitzer Prize for a story set in World War I, said, “No one can build his security upon the nobleness of another person.” This week, though, we have seen that at the bridge table, declarer can sometimes secure his contract with the noble assistance of an opponent. In this example, South is in four spades. West leads the club queen. How should South play? Some players with the North hand would respond four spades, bidding to the 10-trick level with a 10-card fit. But that does not necessarily apply in
an uncontested auction. Here, with a balanced hand, North should rein in a notch or two. Advocates of the Losing Trick Count would respond with a gameinvitational three spades, but it is a close decision. When North settles for two spades, South shoots for game. Opposite three spades, South might dabble his toe in the slam water with a four-heart controlbid (cue-bid), which, here, North would reject. South has one club loser, so must restrict his diamond losers to two. Declarer should win the first trick with dummy’s club ace, draw trumps, cash his heart winners, and cast adrift with a club. Whoever wins this trick must either open up diamonds or
concede a ruff-and-sluff. In each case, South loses only two diamond tricks and makes his contract. Finally, if South must play on diamonds himself, he should start with dummy’s jack, hoping that East fails to cover an honour with an honour (or has the ace and king).

YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY You may have trouble deciding which path to take this year. Don’t let insecurity or nervousness prevent you from pursuing your dreams. Trust your intuition and have faith in your abilities. Your progress will falter if you listen to negative or pessimistic people.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will receive information about some promising prospects if you join a group of likeminded individuals. Find an unorthodox gathering where you can gain inspiration and stretch your imagination. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Love is highlighted. It’s time to capitalize on a chance to try something new. The more you take on, the more impressive you will be. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Practicality and creativity will pull you in opposite directions. Don’t stifle your imagination, but do search for a reasonable way to explore and put your plans in motion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Don’t go it alone. Teamwork and cooperation will play an important role in your success. The more amenable you are, the easier it will be to form ongoing partnerships. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Improve your credentials and status. Your popularity will enable you to network with a wide variety of potential partners. If you combine work and pleasure when you travel, the benefits will be plentiful. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) A new direction is imminent. Reflect on an intimate relationship. Changes to the way you feel or the dynamics of the partnership will lead you to question your intentions and expectations.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Be discreet. Unless it is specifically asked for, keep your opinion to yourself.

that’s available. You have staunch supporters who will gladly join forces with you on your quest. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your obligations will deplete your energy if you continue to take on too much. If you get rid of responsibilities that don’t belong to you, you will be free to do your own thing. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Everyone will be enchanted by your charm and knowledge. It’s fine to enjoy the limelight, but make sure your increased popularity doesn’t cause a problem with someone close to you. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Tie up loose ends. Contracts, joint ventures and debt collection will have a favourable outcome. Someone from your past will provide insight that you need to advance. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your emotions will run close to the surface. Minor distress will be blown out of proportion, causing you to overreact. Stay away from group situations and find a quiet place to relax.

Farmers celebrated through poetry Morning Star Staff
British Columbians are invited to create an ode to B.C.’s farmers to celebrate all they do. As part of the annual Farmers Appreciation Week, Sept. 12 to 19, the B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets (BCAFM) is inviting British Columbians to submit their original
poems to honour our local farmers. Writers of all levels are encouraged to submit their agricultural themed-poems to the third annual Ode To A Farmer Poetry Contest by Sept. 13. The grand prizewinner will receive a $150 gift certificate to spend at the BC farmers’ market of their choice.
Contest, the public can enjoy various activities in celebration of Farmers Appreciation Week that highlight the contribution B.C. farmers and local food make to our lives. From parades and musical tributes, to farm equipment displays, there are events for people of all ages to enjoy at farmers’ markets across B.C. throughout the week. The BCAFM is a not-for-profit association that represents 125 farmers’ markets across the province and works to support, develop and promote farmers’ markets in all regions of B.C. For more information on the BCAFM or to find a farmers’ market near you, visit www. bcfarmersmarket.org.
“We are looking for people to use their creativity.” — Georgia Stanley
Regional winners from the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast, Kootenay Rockies, northern B.C., Thompson Okanagan, Vancouver, Coast and Mountains and Vancouver Island will also be chosen and awarded $50 gift certificates. Submissions are being accepted online or by mail. “Whether it be a haiku, sonnet, or limerick, we are looking for people to use their creativity through words to show their appreciation of local farmers who contribute greatly to our communities,
health and well being,” said Georgia Stanley, BCAFM’s communications manager. “There is a great tradition of writers finding inspiration from the land that is continued through the Ode To A Farmer contest,” said Tamara Leigh, president of the B.C. Farm Writers’ Association, and contest judge. “I look forward to seeing how people connect creatively with food and farming, and bring it to life in their poems.” Along with the Ode To A Farmer Poetry

Dancers win big
Montreal Folk
Morning Star Staff

Bernadette Fortin, Guillaume Jabbour, Bill Collier and Carl Boodman, members of Jabbour, will perform at Ashton Creek’s Lorenzo’s Cafe Sunday. The band brings together some of Montreal’s finest folk and roots musicians. The cost is $10 at the door, with the show at 8 p.m. and dinner at 6 p.m. For information or reservations, call 250-838-6700.
Some local dancers are gaining a reputation across B.C. and around the world. Members of Sodance Vernon have had a busy year attending a number of high-profile competitions. “We never stop,” said Olivia Grayce, choreographer. In May, Sodance Vernon took a team of 25 dancers to a Dance World Cup qualifying competition and they achieved multiple first, second and third place awards as well as four nominations to compete in the Dance World Cup Olivia Grayce at Whistler in July. Eight dancers, ages 14 to 16, and part of the newly formed performance crew Dynamic Revolution from Sodance Vernon, went to compete at the Dance World Cup in Whistler. They achieved first place overall in age 13-plus modern group and second place overall in age 13-plus musical theatre. Briana L’Arrivee achieved third place in her hip hop solo. “It was an absolutely amazing expe-
rience,” said L’Arrivee. “Competing against dancers who are currently ranked first in the world was an experience I can’t wait to be part of again.” Grayce was pleased with her dancers. “To even qualify for the competition was a huge achievement for these dancers,” she said. “We trained really hard all year to improve on different aspects of our routines and keep them innovative. We also incorporated some interesting props for two of our entries. Not a lot of people realize how hard it is to keep bouncing balls in complete synchronization.” And the busy schedule didn’t stop during the summer, including a performance at the Sunshine Festival in downtown Vernon. They are also preparing for performances and competitions throughout the fall. “We have so many projects on the go this year,” said Grayce. “It’s been a really exciting start of the fall season for us already. I can’t wait to see what these dancers will be capable of at this time next year.” For more information about Sodance Vernon and its 2015 fall season, go to www.ttppi.com.
The Grump an inspiring tale Special to The Morning Star

Antti Litja plays the title character in the Finnish movie The Grump. It will be shown at the Vernon Towne Theatre Monday.
For the last show of the summer season the Vernon Film Society will present The Grump Monday. This crowd-pleaser at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival is an offering from Finland and it introduces us to Antti Litja playing the title character. He is an 80-year-old man who feels that the world is going to hell in a hand-basket and nothing is as good as the good old days. He is a farmer, who after having an accident, has to spend time in Helsinki with his daugh-

ter-in-law, who is a successful businesswoman. The generation gap is enormous as his outdated opinions on gender roles and modern life in general cannot possibly compare with how things were (and how they still should be, according to him). There is some poignant archival footage and photos of the good old days that he constantly references to remind us how much life has changed in the last century. The humour of the situation and how the family and the Grump handle all this makes for a memorable movie which also

may remind viewers of last year’s hit The One Hundred Year Old Man. In the end, it is a touching, witty and inspiring tale about tolerance and closing the generation gap and how even an old dog can learn new tricks. The film will be shown at the Towne Theatre Monday at 5.15 p.m. and 7.45 p.m. All tickets are $7 (cash only) and available at the theatre and the Bean Scene. It is subtitled and not yet rated. The Vernon Film Society’s new program for the fall season will be available at the theatre and the usual outlets at this time.

Ware) is a new breed of Agent, John Smith (Zachary Quinto). It is believed she will be able to lead them to her father. If she won’t, they will kill her. The only thing standing in the way is Agent 47. We say, “It won’t be everyone’s cup of tea.” TAYLOR: Hitman: Agent 47 is a video game movie. Lots of killing, flashy action, fisticuffs, gunplay, stabbing, running, jumping, ducking. Although done with a bit of style and nice overall look, unless movies about violent video games are your cup of tea, I don’t think I can really recommend seeing this. For someone who sees everything, it’s just more of the same. Technically, the film is very well done. There is some great stunt work and nearly flawless visual effects. But once the whatever-it-is blows up, all explosions look the same, all punches make the same sound, all car chases end in escape. I think I’m saying it’s unimaginative. HOWE: I thought it was very well done. I felt it has to be one of the better game-to-

movie crossovers. Not that I have played the video game, but it kept me entertained for what it is. The action scenes are very sharp and snazzy, just like Agent 47’s Italian wool suit. The car chase sequence is nearly on par with bigger, more expensive films like Mission Impossible. The fight montages are crisp and clear, you can see what is happening. However, the acting is bad, noticeably bad in fact, especially from Quinto, from whom I expected more. TAYLOR: I expected nothing from the performers, at least nothing special. I was much more impressed by the sheer effortlessness with which Rupert Friend dispatched people. Friend, by the way, appears in some smaller films, Starred Up and the Zero Theorem, and did a recurring spot on the TV series Homeland. He might be amazing, but Hitman: Agent 47 is probably not the best vehicle for his talents. Although, he did make killing look easy. HOWE: It has come out at a tough time, competing with MI: Rouge Nation and The Man from U.N.C.L.E.. Having said that, if you’re going to see it, you had better take your best friend out of your head and plop it in the seat next to you, because you won’t be needing it for Hitman: Agent 47. All you need is 90 minutes to kill and a big bag of popcorn. Taylor gives it 2.5 broken ribs out of 5. Howe gives it 3 really confusing maps out of 5.

JimmyLeguillouxBand
and Allman have graced the roster of the Royal Southern Brotherhood since its formation. The supergroup thing was incidental – leader Cyril Neville’s idea was to find some kindred spirits to rock out with. On their third album, Don’t Look Back, Neville and band (Tyrone Vaughn, Bart Walker, Charlie Wootton and Yonrico Scott) materialize a mix of funky rock and soul that’s deep in the groove. The new guitar duo of Vaughn and Walker throw out fiery lines and tasteful chops behind Neville’s soulman vocals. Neville’s delivery is buoyant, taking inspiration from the potent team of Scott and Wootlon on drums and bass. The performance is a high-energy kick of tough sounding tracks that reveal a formidable talent for ensemble playing and interconnection. for the stage. The band’s ability to mix jams with funky patterns and spitfire guitars gives them counter rhythms galore, and their no nonsense lyrics and gritty riffs offers a deeply layered take on Dixie soul sounds.

Stork report
Cara Brady Morning Star Staff
Randy Spinks can’t remember a time when he didn’t have to take insulin. He was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was four and was not expected to survive. It took six months in hospital to get him stabilized and it was rough going from then on. “I went through school angry at life. I guess I felt I was being cheated of childhood because I always had to keep things in balance and have shots,” said Spinks, 53, who grew up in New Westminster and Surrey and moved to the Okanagan in his early 20s. He made it through school and worked at a variety of jobs, including in restaurants, orchards and roofing although physical labour made keeping his diabetes in check more difficult. He had an insulin pump from 1999 until a couple of years ago and has deep scars on his back where placement had to be changed regularly, but the pump did make regulation easier. He still had to calculate his food intake and adjust the insulin. Spinks has some other scars, from the laser surgery on his eyes, a complication of diabetes, and his May 2015 quadruple bypass heart surgery. “They say I am recovering well but it is stress on my body and makes it hard to keep the blood sugar right,” he said. “I’m back to six injections a day and having to check my blood four times a day and carry shots and sugar tablets with me wherever I go. I now have loss of hand strength and neuropathy of my feet, that means the nerves are starting to die off.” While Spinks has learned to adjust and appreciate each day, his life would be made much better with a new insulin pump, which is smaller, can be placed anywhere on the body and can be programmed for the individual to automatically keep the correct flow of insulin 24 hours a day. The cost of a pump is $8,000,

Friends are doing fundraisers and he is on Go Fund Me, a site which lets people make donations of any amount to projects they want to help support. Spinks is doing what he can to help himself and others while he waits and hopes. He is vice-president of the Vernon and District Métis Association and volunteers in its youth programs as well as working on First Nations arts and crafts and his collection of artifacts. He also volunteers with the Vernon Vipers and collects stuffed toys for the annual Viper
Teddy Bear Toss for local children. He is researching his aboriginal heritage and family genealogy. He enjoys getting out into nature as often as possible. He loves music and plays the guitar. There was a time just before the heart surgery when he was not sure if it was worthwhile but now as he recovers, he feels he still has a lot to give. “I’m just happy to be here and grateful for each day. I appreciate my friends and how they are helping me and I’m hopeful for the future,” he said.

Local author Shannon Peel launches novel in Enderby Morning Star Staff
Growing up in Enderby when there was limited access to television, Shannon Peel says she relied on books and imagination for entertainment, and dreamed of one day becoming a writer. So it is fitting that Peel, who currently lives in the Lower Mainland, is launching her debut novel at her hometown library Saturday at 11 a.m. Titled Thirteen, the story revolves around young teenager Jack who suddenly finds his peaceful Canadian home being invaded by foreign soldiers. Peel says she was inspired to write after hearing about the trials of the Lost Boys of South Sudan. She hopes
this will be the beginning of a series of novels aimed at readers aged 10 to 14. After a career in the financial field, Peel decided to stay home and raise her two children until school age. In 2007 she returned to the workforce as a sales/marketing/ advertising professional. Peel will be on hand with sales and signing of her book at the Enderby library, 514 Cliff Ave., Saturday; there will also be prizes and giveaways. This free event is open to all.

Caring Klowns bring compassion
Please give.
Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s own Kalamalka Caring Klowns are holding their annual workshop and if you’re compassionate and ready to give back to your community, you’re invited. “Bring a friend and join a unique, caring, wonderful group of people,” said Carole Fawcett, one of the group’s co-founders. “Bring your compassion and we will teach you the rest.” The workshop takes place Sept. 26 and 27 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., both days, at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital education rooms. As far back as the 17th century, Dr. Thomas Syndenham said, “The arrival of a good clown exercises more beneficial influence upon the health of a town than 20 asses laden with drugs.” Fawcett said it’s a well-known fact that laughter is beneficial to our health as it releases the body’s natural morphine called endorphins in our brain. “Children laugh an average of 300 times a day, while adults laugh approximately 12 times a day,” she said. “We used to laugh at least 20 minutes out of each day and now we laugh only six minutes out of every day.” With this thought in

Members of the Kalamalka Caring Klowns are ready to welcome new members through their annual workshop Setp. 26 and 27, which will teach everything you need to know about volunteering as a therapeutic clown. mind, in 1999, Fawcett and Dixie Mackie formed and trained the first eight volunteers who became known as the Kalamalka Caring Klowns. The Kalamalka Caring Klowns were formed to bring laughter and lightness to those who may have to stay in the hospital, or in a nursing home. They also give their joy freely to a variety of fundraisers, such as Run for the Cure, Hike for Hospice, Do it for Dad, Kidney Foundation, Alzheimer’s Walk For Memories, Relay for Life as well as participating in the Winter Carnival Parade, IPE,
Sunshine Festival and many more events. Fawcett said there are a number of differences between a caring clown and a circus or party clown. “The circus or party clown directs and entertains an audience while the caring clown listens to the audience and then acts accordingly,” she said. “The focus is on the connection between the clown and patient, staff or family, the heart-to-heart connection. “We care. It is human connection, one moment at a time, one patient at a time, one heart at a time.” The clowns are
