The officer in charge of the North Okanagan RCMP admits there have been challenges in Enderby. “We’ve been asking for more officers for the rural areas and we haven’t been getting the bodies we need (from within RCMP ranks),” said Supt. Reg Burgess. Burgess says officers are on duty in Enderby for 20 to 22 hours a day and then there is an on-call service. “We work into the very wee hours of the morning,” he said. He stands by the service provided by his officers. “We can always do more but we are doing the best we can with the resources we have,” he said. The RCMP are currently working on a new schedule for officers and a new service model is in the works, although Burgess wouldn’t get into specifics at this time. “We’re fairly confident it will improve policing for the North Okanagan,” he said.
The Greater Vernon Dragon Boat Festival has been beached. The annual event, which was scheduled for July 23 to 25 at Kal Beach, has been cancelled for 2010. “It was a shock to have to do this because it’s been a growing event,” said Theresa Seitz, a festival director. “We’re very disappointed that we had to call it off for this year.” While the festival, which began in 2005, had attracted 40 teams in the past, only nine had registered for 2010. Seitz says it wasn’t economically viable to proceed with those numbers. Festival organizers claim team entries and sponsorships dropped partly because the North Okanagan Regional District didn’t provide a final draft of a contract to use Kal Beach until May 10. “It is noted that the contract was presented earlier but without our input and requiring us to request important changes that if not accommodated, would have also forced a cancellation of the event as well,” wrote Shawn Samol, festival director, in a letter to NORD’s Greater Vernon Advisory Committee. Festival organizers had sought a five-year contract, but the GVAC board only agreed to an annual renewal if no issues surrounding the event arose. Al McNiven, parks and recreation general manager, says festival organizers were made aware of the situation last August and a first draft was presented in February or March, with the final draft available in May. “I can’t think of anything major that would have changed (in the agreement).” Along with contract delays, Samol says a lack of places to moor boats for practices resulted in few team registrations. In his letter, Samol writes that some of the issues that led to the cancellation, including the contract, need to be addressed. “We still have interest to facilitate an event with our equipment and expertise and would like to know if GVAC would like us back in 2011,” he said. “We regret the decision we have been forced to make but hope that this may present itself as an opportunity to regroup and come back stronger in 2011.” But McNiven insists that festival organizers must decide if they will come back to Greater Vernon next year. “If they ask for a date (for the beach), I can’t see a reason as to why they wouldn’t get it,” he said. “It’s up to them as to whether they carry on.” GVAC directors are expected to discuss the matter at their Thursday meeting.

News Accident claims life of woman
NO HORSING AROUND
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A single-vehicle accident on the west side of Okanagan Lake has claimed the life of a local resident. A 46-year-old woman, who lived in the Westside Road area, died Sunday when the vehicle she was in went off Six Mile Creek Road. “It was over a very steep embankment,� said Gord Molendyk, spokesman for the Vernon RCMP detachment. The force of the crash ejected the woman from the vehicle. The woman’s husband was able to climb up the 500-foot hill. “He walked out looking for assistance,� said Molendyk. As part of the investigation, police hoped to interview the husband, who sustained some injuries, Tuesday. The exact time of the accident is not known but the police became aware of the incident at 10:30 p.m. It also hasn’t been determined if the woman was wearing a seatbelt, or if she was the driver or the passenger. “We think it was him (husband) but we’re not sure,� said Molendyk of who was operating the vehicle. Members of the volunteer Vernon Search and Rescue unit were called out to the scene at 3 a.m. Monday. “Once the rope team was at the bottom of the ravine, it took them over two hours to get the female out,� stated a Search and Rescue media release. “The SAR members also located the couple’s pet dog that was also in the vehicle. It had survived but was also injured.� Officials have not determined what caused the vehicle to leave the road.

Library borrowing proceeds RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Minimal opposition to borrowing $11 million means a new Vernon library is moving ahead. The North Okanagan Regional District has the ability to finance construction of a 30th Avenue library after 314 people signed an alternate approval process. Borrowing would have been blocked if 10 per cent (6,355) of local voters had signed the petition. “The community and the region will really benefit from an expanded library,� said Patrick Nicol, a NORD director. “Going into the future, it’s important that people have access to libraries.� With financing guaranteed, Okanagan Regional Library will continue with planning for

It’s anticipated that construction could begin in spring 2011, with the new branch possibly open in late spring of 2012. NORD agreed to borrow the $11 million for the new library through the Municipal Finance Authority because of competitive interest rates (ORL cannot apply to MFA

ating costs will be 50 cents to $1 per year for the average residence in the entire ORL service region. NORD’s use of the alternate approval process to determine public assent ran into criticism from Spallumcheen resident Michael Fairbrass. “My argument is it wasn’t democratic,� he said. Fairbrass, who canvassed for signatures, doesn’t believe there was sufficient public notice of the petition, and he would have liked a full referendum. Nicol, though, points out that regional districts can use petitions to seek public approval under provincial legislation. “It’s a legitimate process that was followed. People had the opportunity to provide input,� he said.

Assault investigated Some unwelcome visitors arrived at a Vernon residence Sunday. According to police, nine people were inside the home in the 3500 block of 24th Avenue at about 2:44 a.m. when four men broke in. “They kicked their way in looking for an individual that was not there,” said Gord Molendyk, spokesman for the Vernon RCMP detachment. While inside, some of the nine occupants were assaulted by the four men. “They damaged property and then left,” said Molendyk, adding that none of the occupants knew the residents. “There is some belief they entered the wrong home.”
It’s believed one of the suspects may have been carrying a handgun. Anyone with any information on this
incident is asked to call the Vernon RCMP detachment at 250-5457171 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

GREAT WEDDING GIFT!
Funtastic festival a success BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
The crew at Funtastic spend an entire year preparing for one of the biggest slo-pitch tournaments and music festivals there is and in a matter of days, thousands of people have come through Vernon and it’s all over. Well, not exactly. The games may have finished and the performers have done their shows but the beat goes on for the folks who put on the event. “Now it’s cleanup time,” said Jim McEwan, Funtastic executive director, Monday. “Ninety per cent of the site is taken apart.” That has also revealed several item for the lost and found bin. If you misplaced something, call Funtastic at 250558-7756. All went according to plan says McEwan, though a burst irrigation line at Kin Race Track did force some teams to be moved to Marshall Field to get their games in. Even Sunday’s soggy weather wasn’t enough to disrupt the tournament’s final games to any great degree. “The weather probably co-

out in record time. Most of the people behaved themselves with nothing extraordinary happening for security and police working the area. “I think it was a very typical Funtastic,” said McEwan, adding his long days permitted him just about 12 hours sleep
over the four days. “You always get a certain element (of people but) the communication is great between (security company) ICM and the RCMP.” Funtastic would not happen without the tireless efforts of the many volunteers occupying various jobs during the event, says McEwan. “The volunteer groups are outstanding; they work and work and work,” he said. “From field maintenance to cleanup crews, everyone pulled together and pulled off a real good Funtastic.” It’s not yet known how much was money was taken in but McEwan expects to again be able to contribute to various local parks and recreation projects. The community grant program that gives $25,000 to different agencies will again happen as well as the $34,000 honourarium to be divided up amongst groups that helped at Funtastic. Post-event discussions planned for this week will determine which event elements will be kept for next year and exactly how much revenue was gained.

No major challenges for police RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan’s largest sports event kept police busy. Officers report routine, but steady activity, related to the Funtastic Slo-Pitch Tournament and Music Festival, which ran from Thursday to Sunday in Vernon, Armstrong and Enderby. “We went through it without any major incidents,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesman. The primary concern was the number of large people gathered at the Vernon Army Camp for entertainment. On Thursday, there were 4,000 people, with 5,000 Friday and 6,500 Saturday. Arrests at that site amounted to five Thursday, nine Friday and nine Saturday, with most involving intoxication. Molendyk says the RCMP are pleased with the measures Funtastic organizers have taken to ensure the peace, including private security and surveillance cameras. But he says the detachment will continue to have
discussions with Funtastic about improving safety in future years. Wilf Mulder, Funtastic president, also says his organization wants to keep communications open with the police. “We appreciate the working relationship with the RCMP,” he said. One incident that appears to be related to Funtastic is a 21-year-old man being struck by a vehicle on Highway 97, by the army camp, Friday. The man, who had been attending the festivities, was hit by a northbound vehicle when he attempted to cross the highway. “Alcohol appears to be a factor in regards to the pedestrian,” said Molendyk. The man was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital and then transferred to the neurological department of Kelowna General Hospital. “There is some concern he has swelling on the brain,” said Molendyk, adding that the individual is in stable condition and was supposed to undergo surgery.

CITY OF ARMSTRONG The City of Armstrong has recently advertised its intention to borrow funds to implement the Residential Water Meter Program. The community was advised what the costs for the program would be and how it would be paid for. We are now in the process of waiting for the Alternative Voting Opportunity to complete on July 24th, 2010 before proceeding. Armstrong City Council is ensuring that an information mail out is being sent to every home in their regular mail during the week of July 5th to 9th. Citizens are urged to review the information and to phone City Hall if they have any questions. It is important to note: • The City of Armstrong is committed to the Residential Water Meter Program for financial and future water planning needs. • The question before the community is not whether water meters will be installed, but rather: • Will we borrow the additional funds to complete the entire community at once, or • Will it be a phased installation throughout town, as funds allow. Please don’t hesitate to call City Hall should you have any questions about the Alternative Voting Opportunity process or the Water Meter Program. 250-546-3023 Patti Ferguson, CMC Administrator

Orchardists short changed
O
kanagan orchardists knew for some time that there wouldn’t be direct payments to overcome economic collapse, but the latest so-called government relief must still be a slap in the face. After all, the $5 million in federal and provincial dollars will do nothing in the short-term to pay the bills or put food on the table. It was just back in May that B.C. Fruit Growers Association president Joe Sardinha pointed out that plummeting apple prices had led some orchardists into “serious financial distress. Some have seen their credit shrink.” And the timing couldn’t have been worse. Richard Rolke Revenue from the 2009 crop was needed for the 2010 crop to move ahead, whether it was buying chemicals for disease and pest control or paying people to thin or eventually harvest the fruit. Money doesn’t grow on trees, and like other businesses, orchardists require an infusion of cash to remain active and, if not profitable, at least stable. The $10 million the BCFGA sought in direct payments for individual growers didn’t seem like much when you consider what the industry provides in return. The valley’s 809 growers generate almost $900 million in economic activity and directly employ 1,505 people at the grower, packer and processing level. All of these people then go grocery shopping, buy new vehicles, go to the movies or purchase homes. Beyond this, the value of having food grown right at home is immeasurable, while orchards add to the esthetics of the Okanagan.

Now don’t get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with the $5 million senior government coughed up last week. An increased focus on marketing, packinghouse infrastructure and pest management is definitely a good thing, although how many times do Okanagan Valley residents need to be told to purchase local fruit? But no matter how well intentioned this plan is, there won’t be an immediate surge in consumer sales overnight. Growers won’t see their returns climb any time soon because of the $5 million. So as the wait for the potential long-term benefits begins, growers will continue to struggle day-to-day from the cost of production outstripping prices. The reality is some family farms won’t survive under a mounting pile of bills. It’s still not known why officials wouldn’t fund direct payments, but it’s likely they wanted to avoid a perception of subsidies, although the $5 million could certainly fall under that category. Ultimately, orchardists were only interested in a hand up, not a hand out, to overcome circumstances not of their making. In fact, Ottawa bears some responsibility because other countries continue to dump cheap fruit into Canada, while provincial policies tie farmers to land that can’t be used for any other, potentially profitable, purposes. In announcing the $5 million investment, Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Stockwell Day stated, “This investment will allow the tree fruit industry to find new technologies that will help them stay ahead of the curve in the global market.” And hopefully that feel-good, public relations rhetoric comes to pass, but there may not be many orchardists left around to enjoy it.
Everyone at the North Okanagan Regional District will be thrilled they can proceed with borrowing $11 million for a new library, but there is no disputing the fact that they did an end run around democracy. The alternate approval process may be a legal way of seeking public assent under provincial legislation, but that doesn’t mean it was the right way to go. First off, many people aren’t familiar with how the process works, and particularly that 10 per cent of voters in the North Okanagan had to sign a petition to block the borrowing of funds. Secondly, the only way you would have known about the ability to sign the petition is if you had seen the advertisements in the media. No notices were sent out to individual properties, so the lack of public awareness was significant. It should also be pointed out that the alternate approval process was held at a time when many residents are away or are more focused on summer holidays. The excuse for not holding a full referendum is they are expensive, but should the bottom line be the driving force when seeking assent from the public, and particularly when taxpayers’ are involved? At least with a referendum, people understand the process — that they go to a polling station and mark an X. It is more transparent and in keeping with our democratic traditions in Canada. There is no question that Greater Vernon is woefully in need of a new library and that the current facility is inadequate for a growing community. But the process on how to get there — the actual financing of a new branch — was flawed right from the outset, and that is nothing that our elected officials should be bragging about.

PACs provide vital service
I
'd like to thank Katherine Mortimer for her recent article 'PAC spells benefits for schools.' And thank you to Cara Brady, Glenn Mitchell and others at The Morning Star, as well as local radio and community TV, for the responsive PAC/DPAC & school coverage. Many parents of school-aged children may be unaware that when the government cut PAC gaming grants last fall, the provincial PAC organization, BCCPAC, lobbied alongside other education partner groups (with similar funding issues), resulting in the grants being reinstated this spring. Similarly in 2006, when school playground equipment was deemed hazardous, BCCPAC pressures led to the creation of the PAC playground grant to help offset replacement costs. Formerly known as the 'BC Parent Teacher Home and School Federation,' BCCPAC is a parent volunteer organization that brings the collective voice of provincial PACs (parents) to the government, in order to enhance our public education system. Some may not know that PACs are legREALITY CHECK Our provincial government certainly has to get our revenue from somewhere and perhaps the HST is a reasonably fair and cost effective way of collecting taxes. However I support the petition against the HST because of the under-handed way the legislation was introduced and passed into law. If a non-political expert on ethics can convince me that politicians have the moral right to mislead the electorate during an election and then govern in an autocratic manner once they are in power, then I am prepared to reconsider my position. The Liberals seem to believe that we, the voters, are incapable of understanding the fundamentals of government budgeting and good governance. Does it not then logically follow (in their minds at least) that this apparent inconvenience called democracy should be eliminated? Surely doing away with elections (and opposing views) would be an effective way
islated in the School Act! In the Vernon school district all 19 PACs (and DPAC) are members of BCCPAC. Membership benefits to PACs (whether struggling, functioning, or critical) include: the 'BCCPAC Advocacy Project' help-line and resources to assist parents in advocating for their children, and helping them solve problems in schools (recent workshop presentations in Vernon); PAC leadership resources, mentoring and sup-
of saving tax dollars. Perhaps our benevolent dictator would then be able to reduce the HST by 1% … or even 2%. Could this petition be a reality check for all politicians … or is that too much to hope for? After all political integrity depends more on the memories and expectations of the voters than on the backroom political strategists. Even though there will be additional costs to be paid by each B.C. tax payer if the HST is actually rescinded, I’m more than willing to stub my financial toe in order to kick the provincial Liberals in their collective butt. I applaud all the volunteers, especially the ones who have no political party affiliation or personal self-interest, for making the first step of this extraordinary “grass-roots” protest a success. Lloyd Atkins MUD LAKE An airport for birds was my first thought. Red-winged black-
port (seminars supported by the Ministry of Education and the BCELC); and members resolutions. Parents may be interested to know that Vernon DPAC presented five resolutions (dealing with safety, funding (3), and advocacy) to the provincial education table last year; and has since remained involved in expediting them. As a long-time PAC, DPAC and BCCPAC volunteer and supporter, I've been very
birds were flyers like Spitfire planes. Their red wings were feverish in their movements. A group of ducks out of nowhere came down in a majestic manoeuvre on the surface of the lake. Spraying the water around them, their different colours were highlighted by the sun. Two ducks were watching on the side conversing with each other. A lady with a dog came down the pad, snuffling as dogs do, making or re-establishing his territory. Two blackbirds were circling wildly through the blue sky, reaching for the sky while they simultaneously dove down to the surface of the water, yet within an inch avoided the touch of the smooth water surface. Back into the sky they separated and settled down on waiving reeds, sticking out of the side of the lake. I found two benches to enjoy the beauty which was fascinating to say the least. It was like a well written poem as the soft touch of a breeze kissed my face. It was a very special moment
humbled by the parent leadership seminars, PAC member support, extensive knowledge base, experience, dedication, and indisputable influence of BCCPAC; as well as the integrity and mentoring skills of the provincial advocates, Janet Phillips and Cathy Bedard. All PACs (parents) ought to know that they can 'tap into' these resources and skills by logging on to the BCCPAC website and/or calling toll-free. Because parent engagement in schools is the most important volunteer work a parent/guardian can do! It not only sends a strong message about the value of education to our children, but research shows that it improves grade levels in as quickly as one year! Getting parents involved is a challenge - it requires creating a welcoming, supportive school culture, extending that atmosphere to PAC/DPAC meetings by making parents feel included and welcomed (BCCPAC), and building positive partnerships and trusting relationships to support student achievement for all our children. Pam Hargreaves
to realize the beauty of this creation. Moments like that can’t be experienced twice. Each moment has its own beauty to share. The scenery was enhanced by the rocks and vegetation. Mud Lake is home to frogs, toads and salamanders. They feast on insects, which in turn become prey for snakes, birds and coyotes. A whole village is making home in this little valley high in the mountains. It’s called a nursery… a watering hole, a pantry, a food web. It’s a wonderful world, an airport for wildlife to land and enjoy the rich supplies of food. The lady with the dog smiled mysteriously…agreeing what a great morning it was to be alive. Thanks to the creator for spaces like that. It was a pleasure to visit my daughter in Vernon and experience our different sanctuaries where nature has still free rein and where people find a rest place to wonder about our beautiful world.

Food bank seeks support BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
Bells will be jingling Thursday at Village Green Mall as the Salvation Army makes a big push for food bank donations during its Christmas in July event. A donation table sponsored by Century 21 and SUN FM will be set up at the mall on Thursday with the radio station broadcasting live from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. for the Jam the Van for the Sally Ann campaign. “We want to ensure the public that their donations at Christmas have helped us but we know before next Christmas, the shelves are going to be in dire straits,� said Salvation Army community ministries director David MacBain. “They’re strained right now and we want to make sure they don’t get to a point where we have to reduce the size of the hampers,� he said.

Dear Realtor Mike, When buying or selling property what are the common terms and conditions that one may expect on an offer?
Answer: For single family residential homes typically you would expect offers to be subject to ďŹ nancing, approval of title and property disclosure, home
inspection, insurance etc. For strata properties additionally you would expect subject to information certiďŹ cate, rules & regs, fees, ďŹ nancials etc. If the property is rural other clauses for septic, water, land use should be added. On commercial or farm transactions there often is much more due diligence required. Your Realtor can help you determine necessary subjects.

Suspects sought after attempted armed robbery ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
RCMP continue to hunt for two suspects who attempted an armed robbery at a pet store Friday. Police were called to Pet Mart on 44th Avenue shortly after 5 p.m. “They’re following up on a few leads but at this point, there are no suspects,” said Gord Molendyk, Vernon
RCMP spokesman. The incident began when two men entered the store, produced weapons and demanded cash. The employee did not comply with the robbers and they left the store empty-handed. The two suspects were described as Caucasian men. They were about five-footnine tall, both with average builds. They were wearing
Suspicious blaze ruins donations BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
A fire that destroyed several items behind the Salvation Army on 27th Street in the wee hours of Friday is an example of why donations should be made during store hours. The blaze began around 2:30 a.m. and rendered unrecognizable a collection of items sitting near the rear loading dock of the store. They had been left for donation but had yet to be taken in. Besides the donation, no other serious damage occurred as fire crews were able to respond quickly. “The building itself, besides some plastic siding that was melted, was not severely affected,” said Salvation Army community ministries director David MacBain. Vernon Fire Department fire inspector Dean Wakefield called the blaze suspicious. “I did an investigation on what was left there today (Monday) and from what I could determine, it is a suspicious fire at this time,” he said, adding the method used to start the fire will likely not be determined. MacBain says the incident highlights why it’s better for people to bring their donations in during the day where they’ll be protected. “We have been proactive as far as getting the public to donate during store hours,” he said, adding the Salvation Army can best make use of donations if they are in usable condition and are brought when employees can handle them immediately.
dark clothing on their upper body, believed to be hoodies that were covering their face at the time of the robbery.
One of the men was wearing a dark backpack at the time. The two were last seen running north-
bound on 28th Street, and a police service dog lost the track a short distance from the store. There were two
employees in the store at the time, and were able to get away unharmed. The police are asking anyone with any infor-
mation on this robbery to contact them at 250545-7171, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477).

News Man killed in Shuswap boat crash Black Press
The identity of the man who died after a speedboat and a houseboat collided on Shuswap Lake Saturday night has been released by police. Ken Brown, a 53-year-old man from Anglemont and operator of the houseboat, was pronounced dead at the scene after the accident near Magna Bay. Eight others were injured in the collision. Thirteen people were onboard the 40-foot privately owned houseboat when it was hit by an 18-foot Campion runabout speedboat about 11:20 p.m. Three people were on the speedboat. The crash occurred in the middle of the lake, shortly after a number of boaters had begun to disperse after viewing a fireworks display. “The collision vaulted the Campion directly into the main cabin portion of the houseboat where it came to a rest, completely embedding itself into the interior of the houseboat,” said Cpl. Dan Moskaluk in a press release. “Other boaters in the area assisted immediately and rendered first aid to the occupants of the houseboat and speedboat. The two vessels were then towed into shore by those assisting where first responders met them.” Chase RCMP, along with the North Shuswap First Responders, including the Anglemont Volunteer Fire Department, BC Ambulance and Chase Fire Rescue, responded after receiving calls from several witnesses. Eight people involved in the crash were transported to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops. Injuries sustained ranged from minor bruises to fractures and head injuries. Two of those injured remain in hospital. The boats are being removed from the lake for examination. Chase RCMP and the BC Coroners Service are investigating to determine how the collision occurred.
Investigators from Transport Canada and the RCMP West Coast Marine Services are also providing assistance. Chase RCMP Victim Assistance were also called out to help the victims, the public who provided assistance and the emergency services crews who responded, Moskaluk said. “The RCMP conveys its most sincere condolences to the family involved and would like to mention our appreciation for the members of the public who did not hesitate to render assistance on the water.”

Huge prizes offered at VJH golf fundraiser Sunday Morning Star Staff
The Kalamalka Rotary, Vernon Golf and Country Club Community Golf Day is approaching but there’s still time to register. A donation of $50 to Vernon Jubilee Hospital buys you 18 holes of
golf on Sunday and nets you a tax receipt as well. There are no other green fees so this is an excellent bargain. “There are prizes available for the first golfers to get a hole in one on the par three holes on Community
Golf Day including $15,000 cash from Talon Benefits, a $15,000 investment certificate from MacKenzieMacKinnon Financial Services Inc., a $7,000 golf cart from First Choice Golf Carts and a $5,000 shopping spree
at City Furniture,” said event organizer Bruce Shepherd. Golf club manager Cec Ferguson says, “Registration couldn’t be easier, just call the Golf Shop at 250-5429126 or register by e-mail at shannon@
vernongolf.com.” The golf club is donating the course and providing volunteers; Kal Rotary is also pro-
viding volunteers and managing the event. “Come on out, enjoy the best golf value of the summer
and support VJH at the Community Golf Day, Sunday at Vernon Golf and Country Club,” said Shepherd.

Watch missing after film shoot ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Vernon RCMP are asking for the public’s help in the safe return of a valuable pocket watch. The item was borrowed by an Okanagan film company during filming in the downtown area, near 28th Street and 30th Avenue, on June 19 and 20. “After filming until around 3 a.m. on the morning of June 20, some items were left for pick-up later on that morning, including a box of props on the side of the road,” said RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “The box was opened overnight and the only item taken was the watch, which is extremely valuable.” The watch had been passed down to a young boy from his grandfather. It’s a Waltham pocket watch, silver with a gold or brass chain and a stag engraving on the bag. Anybody with any information is asked to call Vernon RCMP at 250-545-7171.

Block Watch targets crime Morning Star Staff
Crime is a fact of life in the North Okanagan, and a program exists to help residents reduce the risk. Block Watch is active throughout Lumby, Lavington, Coldstream, Vernon, Spallumcheen, Armstrong, Enderby, BX, Grindrod, Grandview Bench and Ashton Creek. “The Block Watch program was established in B.C. in 1986 and is specifically designed to address the issues of property crimes in neighbourhoods. Block Watch identifies the issues of isolation and separation that crime creates and feeds upon,” said Warren Smith, rural programs coordinator with the Safe Communities Unit. “It forges bonds among area residents and businesses helping to reduce burglaries and other crime, and improves relations between the police and the community they serve.” There are some simple requirements to establish a Block Watch program and some steps residents may already be doing without realizing it. First, you must be willing to watch out for your neighbours. Second, you are required to report all suspicious activities to the police and inform your neighbours of these incidents. Thirdly, identify your geographic boundary that represents your neighbourhood which usually consists of 10 to 15 homes. You then canvass your neighbourhood to determine the amount of interest. The Vernon/North Okanagan RCMP Safe Communities Unit will then assist you in setting up a meeting in your neighbourhood with those neighbours who you have identified as wanting to be involved. A meeting usually lasts two hours and can easily take place in someone’s home. The meeting is designed to bring awareness to how the Block Watch
“It forges bonds among area residents and businesses.” — Warren Smith
program operates and answer any questions you may have. “Once your Block Watch neighbourhood is established, you will receive both window stickers and street signs identifying you are a Block Watch neighbourhood,” said Smith. “The process is very simple and does not require a lot of work.” Smith said that the needs and diversity of neighbourhoods in the rural areas is far different than in the highdensity populated areas. “The Safe Communities Unit has developed a rural program that specifically addresses the issues that these areas may face such as dealing with fence lines, fuel storage and livestock. “Many principles of the program are then the same as when living in a high-density populated area.” Smith added that if you have an existing Block Watch program, he wants to hear from you. “We can assist you in looking at retraining opportunities as well as the re-establishment of programs as some of
your neighbours may have moved on and new ones have moved in. “There is a big advan-
tage of staying in contact with the Vernon/North Okanagan RCMP Safe Communities Unit. We will be able to provide new and old revitalized programs, with communications on current crime trends, and safety tips which can be then relayed to your Block Watch neighbours.” For more information, call 550-7843.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Getting involved commercially or financially with a friend isn’t likely to be the smart thing to do. If anything goes wrong, and chances are it will, the relationship could collapse.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Be very careful about passing on any information you get from someone who is known to be a troublemaker. This person could have a malicious intent and use you to carry it out.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) A bothersome problem is resolvable, but that right person to help you out might not be readily available. Involve yourself in something else until s/he can help you out.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Although you basically are someone who holds a positive attitude on most things, this time you might give more credence to unsubstantiated negative thinking. Don’t be your worst enemy.

If you take some time to prepare yourself well, your chances for advancement in your chosen field of endeavor are excellent in the year ahead. If you don’t, nothing bad is likely to happen, but neither will anything good occur.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Managing delicate situations for others is generally what you do best, but sorting out some minor complications for yourself could be another story at times. Today might be one of those days. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Something that has caused you a lot of concern lately is likely to turn out OK. However, it isn’t likely to be due to your efforts, but from the work of someone in whom you have little faith who will perform well. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Your judgment can be relied upon when you take ample time to study matters. However, chances are that you’ll put too much stock in a brief assessment and end up failing. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Rewards are usually received in direct proportion to your efforts and dedication, and today will be no different. Don’t look for any bonuses if your exertions are minimal. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) View situations realistically and forgo trying to make any guesses on a hunch. Although your intuitive instincts are usually good, your analytical faculties will be much better right now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Productivity will have its limitations if you attempt to take on far more than you can manage. Keep your expectations and efforts within reasonable boundaries, or your work will suffer.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Unless you spell out in detail how you want a certain job done, the person doing it for you could get off on the wrong track. If your directions are unclear, the job will be botched. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If you wishfully see things as you want them to be instead of as they actually are, you can’t fix what is broken. Be realistic in your assessments and expectations.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder At the bridge table, defenders should strive not to give declarer his contract gift-wrapped with a bow on top. They should work to make him guess how to get home. This deal is a good example. How should the defenders card against four spades after West leads the heart ace? South’s two-spade rebid shows a minimum opening, 12-14 points, with at least six spades. With only five spades, South would bid a new suit, rebid in no-trump, or raise clubs. A look at dummy should make it clear that the defense probably has to take two tricks in hearts and two in diamonds. At trick one, East should play his heart queen.
Unless this is a singleton (impossible here, because that would give South six hearts and he would have bid the suit), it guarantees that East also has the heart jack. (You do not play high-low to show a doubleton with Q-x, where the “x” is a 10 or lower. You must play your spotcard and hope it works out all right.) At trick two, West should continue with a low heart to give his partner the lead. And East should shift to a low diamond. Now, if you were declarer, which would you play, your diamond jack or king? To some extent this guess depends on your opponents. If they are weak players, put in your jack, because East would
have cashed the ace if he had it. But against experts, the better play is the king. First, two aces are slightly more likely to be divided between the defenders, not both in one hand. Second, if West had the diamond ace, he might have intervened over one spade.

Theatre troupe pedals message Otesha members bike their way through the Okanagan next week KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Armed with helmets, tire pumps and panniers filled with the necessities of life, a travelling theatrical troupe is spreading its message of hope and sustainability from the seats of their bicycles. Members of the Otesha Project are performing their award-winning play, Reason to Dream, throughout B.C. The 13 cyclists, who are pedaling 3,000 kilometres from Vancouver to Regina, will travel through the Okanagan from Penticton to Sicamous next week, stopping in Vernon Friday, July 16. A youth-run charitable organization that uses theatre to mobilize young people to create local and global change through their daily consumer choices, Otesha troupes have performed to more than 85,000 people across Canada. “We met through word of mouth from a volunteer organization out of Ottawa,” said Otesha member Derek Gytenbeek, a Burnaby resident making the trip. “Everyone of us is from around North America who came together after hearing about Otesha.” The organization has won international awards for its innovative and effective youth-engagement programs. “It started years ago when a couple of women went to Africa and weren’t happy with what they saw there. It covers a number of issues: water, food poverty,” said Gytenbeek. Three cycling and performing tours are crisscrossing Canada in 2010, delivering theatrical performances and meeting with local environmental groups and initiatives along the way. On the road, the actors live as a mobile and sustainable community for an entire month, cycling from performance to group meeting to new community. Braving the elements along the way, members connect with organizations and individuals and explore all the ups and downs of directly address-
ing environmental and social justice issues through their own every day actions, all of which the theatrical production addresses. “It’s physical theatre. We play the props as well as the characters, and the bikes sometimes come in as props. Essentially it’s a social justice and environmental justice play,” said Gytenbeek. The Otesha Project’s Reason to Dream will be presented at the Vernon Army, Navy, and Airforce Hall, July 16 at 6 p.m. Admission is by donation and all ages are welcome.

Something’s going to happen at Lorenzo’s Morning Star Staff
Dana Wylie’s third album, the aptly titled Something’s Going To Happen Here, should create a lot of attention for this western Canadian singer/songwriter who takes the stage at Lorenzo’s Café Friday. Wylie has taken a big step to a new musical level with this follow-up to 2006’s Almost There and 2008’s The Unruly Ones. A native of Biggar, Sask., now based in Edmonton, Wylie trained at Grant
MacEwan University, but the road has been her real school over the past four years with almost relentless touring around Canada, the U.K. and Taiwan. Known for her stunning vocal range and talent on acoustic guitar and piano, along with the ability to write songs with memorable melodies and poignant lyrics, Wylie has attracted rave reviews wherever she has played. The Edmonton Journal wrote: “Wylie phrases like Demosthenes, as if those torrents of words
An old fashioned singer-songwriter, Carole King screwing with the conventions or working within it. Whatever else, she sounds confident enough that she can take on anything in the future.” Wylie spent considerable time in England with her bandmates,
guitarist Matthew Ord, and standup bassist Nye Parsons, drawing from the fertile ground of British folk music. She combines this with a North American roots feel that encompasses everything from folk to jazz. This makes for a CD rich in tradition, yet with a distinct-
ly contemporary sound. Her current tour continues this summer with 13 dates in three provinces. Wylie’s performance at Lorenzo’s Café (901 Enderby Mabel Lake Rd., east of Enderby) starts at 8 p.m. Call (250) 8386700 for reservations.
The latest music is reviewed in Street Sounds every Friday

Open mic moves to new locale Morning Star Staff
Music continues to pour out despite the temporary closing of a downtown Vernon coffee shop to make way for a new development. The popular weekly open mic, which ran at the downtown Blenz (formerly Portillo’s), has moved to a new location. Hosted by Rory White, the event will now take place every Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Okanagan Centre for Spiritual Living.
“(It’s an) acoustic-style, familyoriented event,” said White. “Bring your instrument and voice. (It’s) open to singing, clean humour and story-telling and/or poetry. “There will be coffee, tea, refreshments and snacks available at very reasonable prices.” Admission is a minimum donation of a toonie (performers get in free) and everyone is welcome to enjoy local talent at the new venue, located at 2913-29th Ave. behind the Towne Cinema.

News Boil alert continues Morning Star Staff
Crime Stoppers pays cash rewards up to $2,000 for information leading to an arrest, recovery of stolen property or seizure of drugs. Information can be given anonymously by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
JULY 1, theft from a car in the 3000 block of 28th Street. Entry gained through the rear window. A duffle bag containing a 13inch Mac Pro, two iPods, a GPS, several compact discs and other assorted items was stolen. (10-13911) JUNE 30, theft from a garage in the Silversage Place area of Vernon. A set of golf clubs, assorted equipment along with a bike helmet and a set of skis were stolen. Several of these items were found burned at the end of Okanagan Hills Boulevard. (10-13779)
Some Oyama residents are being reminded of a boil water notice after equipment failure occurred. On Sunday morning, there was a chlorine failure on the Oyama Lake source (Oyama Creek) on the east side of Wood Lake. “The chlorine disinfection process was disrupted during a power outage caused by equipment fault,” said Greg Buchholz, operations manager with the District of Lake Country. “The operator on call responded to the alarm and the chlorine was restored within 10 minutes.” Customers on the Oyama Creek source are reminded that a boil water notice was initiated March 2 because of expected poor water quality from increased turbidity during spring melt. “Adequate chlorine contact time to some customers on this source is not being met,” said Buchholz. “The boil water notice issued March 2 remains in effect for an indefinite period.”

#ATS READY TO PROWL
Bravo Beck Morning Star Staff
It was must-win night for the Vernon Square Liquor Store Camels and they got stellar showings from a few unlikely sources in a 4-2 victory over Peoples Insulation Monday night at Mission 74 Park in Kelowna. The Camels finished in the top-seven at the midway point in the Okanagan Men's 35+ Soccer League, at 7-4-1. Peoples dipped to 6-5-1. Humpbacks' defender Jason Beck earned the Captain Morgan Man of the Match. Beck scored his first goal of the season to jumpstart the Camels' offence, going through a host of opponents before shooting from six yards out, grabbing the rebound and finding net. Peoples countered quickly before the Camels went ahead on a World Cup-like 30-yard free kick by Dan Ondzik from the left side which curled under the crossbar. Peoples equalized shortly after to close the half, but the Camels went up in the 55th minute when Chris Bader – back from injury – made his season debut with a left-footed shot near post after a nice give-and-go. Bryan Schenker finished the Camels' offence with a one-timer to the corner after a feed by Mike Daly. Mike Moorlag was solid in the liquor store crew's net. Meanwhile, Vernon Toyota defeated Sirius of Kelowna 5-1 at Marshall Field #1 to grab a share of second place as the league splits in half for the final three months. Don Balcombe opened the scoring midway through the first half with a great individual effort. Balcombe dissected the Sirius midfield before blasting a 30-yard bomb into the back of the net. Toyota kept up the pressure and was rewarded with another goal 10 minutes later when Aaron Deans chased down a ball on the sideline and found John Orton alone in front of the net. Orton neatly tucked it into the corner. Mike Sandstra made it 3-0

when he beat a Sirius defender to the ball and tipped it into the net past a sprawling keeper. Edmund Lee scored his second of the year when he collected a pass inside the 18, turned and fired short side. Orton scored his second of the game with a nice header to the top corner when Deans found him at the back post. Colin McDonnell was strong in the Toyota net, stopping the league's leading scorer Morgan Marrs on a breakaway. Once again, Toyota's defensive line was virtually impenetrable, keeping most of the Sirius shots at 30-plus yards. Sirius scored a late goal to break the shutout. Both teams went to 8-3-1. In Capri Insurance Men's 45+ League action, Mark Wasylyk pulled the hat trick as the expansion Big O Tire Ogopogos outlasted the Rutland Spirit 5-4 at Parkinson 16 Field in Kelowna. It was a see-saw battle with the Ogopogos busting loose for a handful of early breakaways they failed to convert. Rutland answered back with a surprise breakaway and opened the scoring. The Spirit made it 2-0 shortly after with a nice passing play in front of Big O keeper Yogi Konsdorf. Wasylyk struck twice before the half to equalize, but the Spirit moved ahead early in the second half from a penalty kick outside the 18 which rebounded off the Big O line. Parm Kler of Big O tied the game when he took a cross from Ruben Cerventez and put it in the corner. Wasylyk completed his hat trick with a convincing shot in the top corner after he broke in swiftly. Rob Ross answered with the eventual winner, sprinting into the Rutland zone late in the half and blasting the ball top shelf. Rutland answered late and almost gained a draw but were stoned by Kongsdorf. The Ogopogos are 3-6-3. Rutland fell to 0-12. Gord Howard scored twice as the first-place Vernon Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels bounced

Rod Trentini (left) of Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels and Derek Kidd of Baxter’s share a mutual grimace in preparation for an impending header in men’s 45+ soccer action Monday at Marshall Field #2. Baxter's Pub of Kelowna 5-1 at Marshall Field #2. The Camels (11-1) recorded three stunning header goals: Dan Zieske from a John Gardner cross, Rod Trentini on a feed by Rick Raber and Al Murphy on a great ball by Kevin Novakowski. Gardner ran miles on defence to earn the Buckingham Palace Fish & Chips Man of the Match. Andy Walker gave Baxter's (3-7-2) an early 1-0 lead after a series of passes deep in the zone. Dave Rundle of Baxter's made several diving saves. Okanagan Spring Brewery scored two goals in the first seven minutes on their way to a 4-0 win over Kelowna Cantina's Pub at Marshall Field #4. Chris Reeves, who took the Cialis Man of the Match hon-
ours, opened the scoring three minutes in after Mike Lloyd was sent in on a breakaway only to be tripped up inside the box. Denis Chabot made it 2-0 after being sprung inside the 18 on a nifty pass by Reeves. Mattius Gohl netted two early goals after the break with Pete (The Heat) Richter setting him up on both goals after celebrating his 50th birthday over the weekend. Mike Zuber earned the shoutout as the fourth-place Brewers wen to 8-4. Cantina's are 3-9. The North Country Appraisals Kickers of Kelowna joined the Camels at 11-1 with a 5-0 grounding of the Silver Stars at Parkinson 9 Field. Greg Bevandick scored four times and Mike Francis once for the Kickers. The Stars are 5-5-2.
Head coach Bryan Klein is hoping a firstround catnap won’t affect the Vernon Re/Max Tigers too much. After an opening-round bye in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League playoffs, the Cats host the Kamloops Rattlers in Game 1 of a best-of-three semifinal tonight (7:30) at Wesbild Centre. Game 2 goes Friday night at McArthur Island Sports Complex in Kamloops, and if necessary, Game 3 would go Monday night at Wesbild. Klein called a team meeting Monday, followed by a light practice, to make sure his players’ focus is where it needs to be. “Our mental focus is what makes our team what it is,� Craig Bigsby said Klein. “It’s hard with a bye week, especially with the long weekend, but the boys are quite loose and getting ready to go. The regular-season champion Tigers (12-1-1) come into the series with the league’s top offence (126 goals for), second-best defence (74 against) and the least penalty minutes (217) by more than 100. The Cats are led offensively by Craig Bigsby (22-16-38) and Brooks Christensen (15-20-35). The Rattlers (6-8) advanced to the second round by sweeping the Armstrong Shamrocks in the quarterfinals, ending with a thrilling doubleovertime 7-6 win in Game 2 Friday night at NorVal Sports Centre. JJ Woldum recorded four of Kamloops’ six goals and was a major factor in that game. Klein knows they will have to keep him in check in the semis. “JJ Woldum, he’s a big body that has a good stick in the crease. Our guys have to play him physical without taking penalties,� said Klein. “We have a big defence, so I think we match up well with them. “They’ve got a couple of key guys we need to focus on,� added Klein, referring to the McIntosh boys, Curtis, Russ and Gavin. “Their guys have been around for a lot of years, but if we keep our discipline and play our game, we should be OK.� Curtis led his team in scoring (14-12-26) and was second in penalty minutes (34) in a dozen games. Devon Larsen was second in scoring with 14-8-22 in nine games. The one positive about the bye week is the Tigers will regain the services of injured players Darren Kirby (4-5-9) and Austin Lewarne (0-8-8). Veteran Miles Jespersen (9-5-14) will miss Game 1, as Klein lists him as “day-to-day.� The Tigers owned the regular-season series with the Rattlers, winning all three games by a cumulative score of 26-15.

‘Rocks ready to roll Morning Star Staff
With the Provincial Masters Championships behind them, the Armstrong Shamrock veterans are now preparing for an Okanagan X-treme Lacrosse League showdown with the Kelowna Raiders. The Raiders (7-3) are two points up on the Shamrocks (6-4) so a win over the Raiders Friday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre would tie the teams for the regular-season title. Win or lose, Armstrong owns the better head-to-head record (3-0). Both teams have final games the following week with the Shamrocks meeting the Vernon Tigers Thursday, July 15 and Kelowna hosting the Kamloops Rattlers July 16. "This is probably the biggest game of the year for us," said Shamrocks' GM Ryan Nitchie "We need to turn our losing streak around on Friday night and we need a big crowd out to help us do it." The Shamrocks have added depth with lefty and former senior A star Rhys Parsons. Armstrong will benefit from the availability of star junior grads Logan Strohm and Dalaney Halifax "The addition of those skilled junior players to our lineup really rounds out our attack and balances all of our lines so that every shift we are a threat," said Shamrocks'
head coach Ken McGregor. "We will need everyone playing together and working every shift to knock off the Raiders. If we stay disciplined, get a bit of a lead, we can get them off their game." In Masters action last weekend, Okanagan fielded three teams in different categories, including the Leko Grand Masters (aged 45+), the Okanagan MASS Consulting Masters (C Division) and the Okanagan Spring Brewery Masters (A Division). The MASS Consulting crew was most successful on the weekend. They cruised to an easy 5-2 victory over the Surrey Firefighters on Thursday night at the Hassen Memorial Arena. The MASS Consulting Masters were led by scoring phenom and newlywed Jon Ziola with two goals and singles from Chad Pounder, Stu Williamson and Pat Nelson. On Friday, the MASS Consulting Masters ambushed the North Shore Cowboys 8-3 backstopped by current Shamrock Owen Siddall. Nitchie led the Irish with three assists and six faceoff wins. The game saw the earliest exit in Masters history for feisty Jay Wooden, who was ejected at the seven-minute mark of the first period for unnecessary roughness. The Okanagan MASS crew dropped a 6-3 decision to the Cowboys in the gold-medal game
Sunday at Civic Arena. The locals were plagued with penalties, including a nine-minute penalty to Williamson in the second period which included a double minor for slashing, a major for spearing and an automatic game ejection. The powerplay resulted in the Cowboys potting two goals and the North Shore squad rode the solid goaltending of Mason Grotto to a well-earned victory. "We just couldn’t recover from the deficit and we were in the penalty box the majority of the game which really put us behind the eight-ball," said Nitchie, the team organizer. The brightest spot for the Okanagan crew came during the trophy presentations when Siddall was awarded the Harry Preston Memorial Trophy as the goaltender with the lowest goals against in the round-robin. "We had a lot of fun as a team and it was great to play again with guys like Ziola and Brad Kirschner, and having Jay Taylor in the lineup made the team have some fun chemistry," added Nitchie, "We played really well in the first two games and I think we might have taken it for granted that we would win against the Cowboys but we have to give them full credit. We gave them opportunities to score and they took it and earned the win, so we are
Riders wow fans on Wood Lake Morning Star Staff
A total of 33 riders competed in the Lake Country Board and Ski Club’s (LCBSC) first sanctioned wakeboard event of the summer last weekend on Wood and Kalamalka Lakes. Athletes competed in both wakeskate and wakeboard events. Saturday was windy early in the morning, so organizers moved the event to Kaloya regional park on the south end of Kalamalka Lake, where junior girls, novice, junior boys and boys events (ages 6-13) were held. The wind eventually subsided, so the event continued back at the LCBSC club site on the northwest corner of Wood Lake for the junior men’s, women’s men’s 1, advanced and pro competitions. On Sunday, all events took place at the club, where riders attacked the new sliders and kicker jump, thrilling onlookers both on the water and on shore. In a very exciting pro event, Dustin O’Ferrall and Matt Bibby, a pair of Vernon riders who compete across the continent, were first and second respectively. Kris Killick of Lake Country was third.

Another year, another win for Murray Bennetto.

Bennetto and Nordlund cruised through preliminary play, sweeping Jason Shumay and Jerry Reinhardt of Vernon 2-0 (6-1, 6-0) and Joachim Nierfeld and Tm Budd of Kelowna 2-0 (6-0, 6-2). The champs brushed back Paul Morgan of Vernon and Winston Pain of Salmon Arm 6-2, 7-6 (9-7) in a marathon semifinal. Morgan and Pain earlier defeated Dan Abrecht and Joe Schaich 2-0 (6-4, 6-4) and split with Tilander and Knights (6-5, 3-6). Tilander and Knights reached the finals by downing Nierfeld and Budd. The men's B doubles was not completed due to rain, but Jim Condon and Kristian Killard of Prince George reached the final.

Vernon teams uncover soccer gold Morning Star Staff
The Vernon United Under 11 Royals struck gold in the Rutland Canada Day Soccer Tournament last weekend. Connor Johnston scored twice as Vernon rocked the undefeated West Kelowna Sting 2-1 in Sunday's final. “The boys didn’t look back after their opening come-from-behind win against Edmonton,� said coach Rob Eggert. “To be part of a shootout was a first for the entire squad.� Added coach Rolf Hirschkorn: “For many of these players, this tourney closed their year of soccer. And what a way to finish a wonderful season.� Vernon opened with a 2-1 (1-0) shootout win over Edmonton Scottish United, displaying solid defence from brothers Samuel and Joe Eggert and Peter Hirschkorn. Vernon’s late goal on Charis Ondrik’s penalty kick led to an overtime shootout where keeper Shane Pelkey saved all five Edmonton shooters and scored the winning goal. Vernon then ambushed the Calgary Blizzard United 8-0 with Christopher Moore, Reed Cashato, Connor London, Johnston and Hirschkorn all contributing in the offence while keeper Morgan Nicholas earned the shutout. United resumed their winning streak the following day by hammering the tourney host Rutland Wolves 5-0. Liam Hennig scored twice, while Samuel and Eggert and Cashato supplied singles in front of keeper Aaron Botterill. United will represent Vernon in the Langley Labour Day tournament Sept. 4-6.
Vernon United's U12 Boys Rep Development Team pocketed the gold medal at the same tournament, After winning two out of three roundrobin games in their first ever 11-aside tournament, United earned the championship title in a shootout after ending regulation time in a 3-3 draw with Edmonton Scottish United. Vernon opened the scoring early after a free kick by Tim Solinger was headed on by Nick Berg and then finished nicely by Conor Glennon. Relentless pressure in the offensive zone by Nick Klymchyk kept the ball in tight for Glennon to score his second goal of the game. Before halftime, Jeremy Purvis and Berg assisted Glennon on his third goal to see Vernon take charge with a 3-0 lead. However, Edmonton came out aggressively in the second half with two quick goals and then, with only seconds remaining in the game, pressured in tight and sent the tying goal beyond the fingertips of Vernon keeper David Weir. In the shootout, Vernon scored three times and Weir took care of the rest with some beautiful saves. Game MVP was Dylan Molloy for his strong defensive work. The tournament MVP went to Solinger for his steady, consistent play on the back end. Vernon opened with a 4-0 win over Kelowna United. Berg started the scoring after being fed a through ball by Glennon. Berg and Glennon then assisted Scott Coulthard, who finished off with a left-foot volley to make it 2-0. Cole Benjaminsen and Glennon pressed deep in the Kelowna
zone and Coulthard was awarded his second goal after Benjaminsen ricocheted a shot off him and into the net. Glennon’s efforts were rewarded when he netted the final goal on a gorgeous pass by Berg. Weir earned the 4-0 shutout, getting exceptional support from centre defenders Solinger (game MVP) and Klymchyk. Game 2 of the round-robin saw Vernon clip the Scottish United 3-2 in regulation. It was 2-0 Edmonton when Klymchyk and Michael Parchomchuk worked the ball up the field to Berg who played it onto Glennon, who then fired the ball past the Edmonton keeper. Not long after, Glennon took a cleared ball to the goal and netted the equalizer. Unfortunately, in the dying minutes of the game, Scottish United were awarded a free kick at Vernon’s 18-yard line and sent a well-struck ball into the top corner. Glennon was selected as the MVP by Edmonton. Vernon closed preliminary play by stopping the Central Okanagan (COYSA) travel team 4-2. Vernon once again fell behind early, but tied the game when striker Glennon scored on a ball sent through by Berg. Benjaminsen and Berg once again delivered the ball to Glennon who scored to make it 2-1 Vernon. Although COYSA fought back to tie the game, Berg scored the winner on a free kick that just skimmed the crossbar. Glennon earned an insurance goal on a ball sent up field by Klymchyk and Molloy. Vernon’s tenacious defensive play by Bryn Bedard and Dane Carriere helped Weir earn game MVP.
Dave’s Mobile Mechanic Devils secured first place in the Vernon Women’s Slo-Pitch League, icing White House Mortgage Gators 15-7 at DND grounds. An eight-run third inning boosted the Devils, who got solid bats from Sheri McDougal and Trishauna Schneider, who both went 3-for-5. The Kal Hotel Naked Grapes stuffed Sundance Pool & Spa Blazers 9-4. Jody McCall, Shelley Ouellette and Game MVP Pam Betton were all 3-for-4. Ted Luszcz Bulldozing Dozers used stellar defence to overpower the Blazers 10-3. Traci Kenney led the Dozers’ offence with a pair of hits and RBI. Tara Young was 3-for-4.

Kehler joins ‘Backs
EXERCISING THE OUTFIELD
BRENT MUTIS Black Press Sports
The overhaul behind the Salmon Arm SilverBacks bench is now complete as new head coach and GM Tim Kehler was introduced at a fan barbecue Tuesday night in the Shuswap. Coming off three seasons as an assistant coach with the Western Hockey League’s Swift Current Broncos, Kehler inked a three-year deal with the ‘Backs that returns him to his home province. The North Vancouver native was also head coach/GM of the Trail Smoke Eaters from 2004 to 2007, and is excited about Salmon Arm. “I think it’s one of the premier spots in B.C. to coach,” said Kehler, who turned 39 on Monday. “It’s my intention to build a championship team in Salmon Arm.” Kehler believes his time in Swift Current under former Broncos coach Dean Chynoweth and current coach Mark Lamb, both former NHLers, has had a positive impact on him. “My time in the WHL gave me a chance to work with some great coaches,” said Kehler. “I’m coming in as a much better coach than when
I left.” Kehler said he’s talked to all the incoming players and none of them have changed their minds about reporting to Salmon Arm despite the fact they were recruited by Rylan Ferster who resigned in early June to coach the junior B Revelstoke Grizzlies. “No recruits were lost and I’m just thrilled that that’s the case,” said Kehler. “For them to stay the course and see how things turned out, that’s a credit to them and their families.” He’s happy with what he sees on the roster and is excited about the acquisition of a No. 1 goaltender in Kris Moore who posted a 20-11-4-4 record, 2.33 GAA and .921 save percentage with Camrose of the Alberta Junior Hockey League last season. “Rylan has done a really good job of laying the groundwork from a player perspective,” said Kehler. “I’m really happy with the situation I’m walking into.” Jobs for the new bench boss this week will include calling each of the returnees to discuss expectations come training camp and meeting with associate coach Kevin MacKay.

If life is what happens while you're busy doing something else, life happened to Debbie Schneider recently and she's happy that it did. She was working at peak capacity as a manager/trainer, travelling around North America for a Vernon-based company with a bright professional future. Then, last February, the unthinkable happened. The company downsized because of the recession, and like many people, she was laid off. "I was devastated. I couldn't believe it. There I was at 51 — I not only had wrinkles, fine lines and cystic acne from stress but I had no job," she said. She found she was overqualified for the jobs available but didn't want to leave Vernon after living in the area for 28 years, following growing up in Nelson and earning a degree in management and community recreation from the University of Calgary. "My husband had also been laid off his job and for the first time in my life I was fearful and incredibly sad,” she said. “The next opportunity just fell into my lap at the right time.” A friend told her about a dermatologist-developed product. She tried it, found it helped her and wanted to bring it to the area. "I knew that having bad skin was hurting my confidence and that others had the same experience. I saw the results, did the research and, since I wasn't going to wait around for another job, started my own business,” she said. Schneider said it was scary to start her own business and she surrounds herself with positive people and books to keep her on track. "I know people who have been laid off and it knocked them flying for two years. I didn't have two years to wallow in my self pity,” she said. “I tried not to think, why me, what did I do wrong, what could I have done different? I know it was beyond my control and I had to move on. It does take time to grieve but I didn't want to get stuck there." She thinks many people take their jobs for granted and complain about how hard it is but she thinks it is important to be grateful for what you have. Now, as her own boss, she works with a team that includes people who enjoy the networking and selling to retail businesses or directly themselves. "It's amazing to watch my team members as they grow as people and change in their lives through this opportunity. I help

Make a meal with morel mushrooms the shade, from the black char, from the ash, from the dried needles abundant in these areas, and even from new green growth around burned out trees. There are countless ways to cook Cathi Litzenberger morels mushrooms from simply frying in butter to coating them with a variety of ingredients for deep frying, baking, stuffing them. They can be used in any mushroom recipe.
KITCHEN WIT & WISDOM
Schreibers Stuffed Morels (substitute portabella) About 1 lb morel mushrooms 4 tbsp. real butter 1/4 cup finely chopped mushrooms 1 clove garlic, minced 3 tbsp. finely chopped spinach (for looks) 4 tbsp. cream cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped crab meat (initation works) 1 tbsp. brown sugar 1 egg 3 tbsp. seasoned bread crumbs (not cracker crumbs) 1/4 tsp. lemon pepper 2 pieces crispy bacon finely chopped Monterey Jack or Italian blend grated cheese Always wash morels in cold water and let soak for at least two hours before doing anything with them. Remove, dry, and cut morels in half lengthwise. Finely chop stems and divide in two portions. In a frying pan, mix half the chopped stems, four tablespoons, butter, one-quarter cup onion, garlic, and spinach and saute on medium heat until all the liquid is simmered away. Remove from the heat and add the cream cheese, crab meat, brown sugar, egg, seasoned bread crumbs, lemon pepper, and bacon.
Moving the marmots
I
t was very interesting to see the marmot colony that has made themselves at home near a new development. The city should move immediately to have them trapped and relocated. On a recent trip along the back road to Predator Ridge, there is a large area in which marmots should do well. I might add they would be in an area where natural predators would reduce the extreme reproduction of the species. Eagles and coyotes are the natural predators that are probably in that area. The suggestion that Polson Park should be upgraded is a good idea. I would like to see some new flower beds, some areas for perennials such as delphinium, lilies and others that bloom at different times. The time has come for a lot of work to be done on the very old, large trees. I would like to see some smaller varieties planted. There are many species that fit so well in park-like settings.
The time is here when roses show signs of mildew and blackspot. The only item available to the home owner are sulphur-based. Ask your garden centre to show you what is available. The old favourites, like Benomyl and other systemic types, that are effective for a longer time between applications are not for sale. I visited the farmers’ market on Canada Day and there was a real good showing of Fred Lyall local produce. While at the market, I almost had a couple of vendors reach for a weapon, and all I had asked was why they had no French labelling. I was assured that it was not going to happen. I was of course only joking. I was assured that there were more vendors with German ancestry, Ukrainian, Polish, East Indian and Chinese all on site. There was a vendor from Lavington that had the most beautiful cut flowers and beautiful roses that were displayed so well. The Canada Day celebrations were a great success all across Canada. Go, Canada, go.
IN THE GARDEN
Mix all these ingredients together and spoon into morel halves. Cover with a light blanket of cheese. Bake in preheated oven at 400 F for 20 minutes. You may want to turn on the broiler for just a bit at the end to brown the cheese on top.
Let stand for five minutes and enjoy. Simple Morels with Corn Flake Crumbs Morels mushrooms (or substitute portabellas mushrooms cut into 1/4 inch strips) 2-3 eggs Butter Salt
Kellogg's Corn flake Crumbs Pinch of Kosher salt Clean and soak morels for a minimum of two hours before using. Cut morels in half lengthwise and dry well. Whisk eggs in bowl until well mixed. Add a pinch of salt to eggs.
Fill another bowl with corn flake crumbs. Dip morels into egg mixture. Lightly coat both sides of morel with crumbs. Fry in lots of butter and flip when light brown. Add more butter as necessary until done. Simple, but delicious.

OKANAGAN LAKE SUBMARINE CABLE REPLACEMENT AND OKANAGAN CENTRE SAFE HARBOUR BOAT LAUNCH CLOSURE BC Hydro is improving reliability to customers in the Central Okanagan Regional District by replacing the aging submarine cables crossing Okanagan Lake from Lake Country to Westside Road. Civil shoreline construction work will commence the week of June 28, 2010 and is expected to be completed by July 19, 2010. Minor trafďŹ c delays may be experienced at the cable termination points at Okanagan Centre Road West and 4th Street in Lake Country and along Westside Road. Onshore and offshore work using barges and specialized cable laying equipment will be taking place between July 19 and August 6, 2010. To complete this work safely, it will be necessary to temporarily close the secondary outer gravel boat launch at Okanagan Centre Safe Harbour for extended periods between July 19 and August 6, 2010. The inner main Safe Harbour concrete boat launch will remain open. Please be advised that during this construction period the Safe Harbour area will be congested and parking may be limited. The work will take place within the approved Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Ministry of Environment work window for the construction activities on or adjacent to Okanagan Lake. BC Hydro recognizes that these construction activities may be an inconvenience and we will complete the work as quickly as possible.

He's very knowledgeable and fun to be around and really, there are only so many things a grown daughter can do with her dad. Mushroom and berry picking are a couple of my favourites. Morchellas, commonly known as morels, are a spring mushroom, delicious eaten fresh and commercially they are dried and prized around the world. In the Pacific Northwest, morels pop up after a forest fire in the burned-out forest floor. They are abundant the first year after the burn but will produce lesser amounts for at least two subsequent years. I've picked them in the open and in

Thesis looks at employment for the disabled Morning Star Staff
Looking for work can be difficult at any time. Laura Hockman, executive director of the Vernon Disability Resource Centre, knows it is even more challenging for people with disabilities and she decided to use her masters degree thesis research to find out just what issues there are. She presented her findings at a recent workshop in Vernon. "Everything I found out was fascinating. For example, in 1982, a federal government report made 120 recommendations around employment and disabilities. In 1996, a similar report said three areas needed improvement and didn't even mention the other areas," said Hockman, who earned her master of arts from UBC Okanagan this spring. "Employment is important for more than the financial independence. Employment is a huge part of a person's identity and social networking. It's too easy, and very destructive, to go from 'I don't do anything,’ to 'I am no one.'" Her thesis looked at how people with disabilities experience their search for employment and taking part in employment programs, as well as how people with disabilities are regarded in society and how their disabilities and lack of employment affects other areas of their lives. She had interviews with 12 people with disabilities who had accessed support from a results-based employment program in Vernon. She followed standard research protocol and also researched federal and provincial law as it applies to employment and people with disabilities. "This research was earth-shattering for me on a professional and personal level. There were days when I felt not well because of what I was hearing from participants and their experiences and hopes for themselves

Laura Hockman, with her dog, Gabbi, gets ready to present the information on disabilities and employment she found in research for her master of arts degree. and their families," said Hockman, who has been a social worker for 11 years. She said society usually views disabilities from one of two points of view, the medical model that disability is something that has to be cured, or a social model that society creates the barriers for people with disabilities and must help remove the barriers. She noted that for every two people born with a disability, there are 10 people with an acquired disability, by accident, a medical condition or other factors. "Disabilities make family and personal relationships and attitude and self-care become very important. Professionals need to realize how important it is for them to have good relationships with people with disabilities. While that person with a disability with a concern may seem routine to a professional, for that person, the issue may be life-changing," said Hockman. She also talked about transportation, the vital importance of confidentiality, helping people with disabilities to find volunteer work to gain skills to lead to employment, positive support caring for the whole person and financial pressures. "Present uncertainty
is a self-identified issue. People do not know what will happen in the
short and long term, they may move a lot and become more vulnerable. So much is out of their control and they make high risk choices. A lot of time is spent waiting for calls that could change things, a pension allowed or denied, a job interview, a professional appointment," she said. "So many connection and control issues came out. I realized that this is about inclusion, having the control to connect how you choose. Many of the people I talked to wanted to be selfemployed as entrepreneurs. I took this partly as frustration with not being able to find suitable employment." Hockman was surprised that participants did not specifically name societal attitudes as a problem but they knew that pre-con-
before you
ceived notions of disabilities influenced how they were being treated. Since they did not know what to do about this prejudice, they seemed to dismiss it. She concluded that there are a number of ways to move forward,
including helping people learn how to manage their disabilities, making service providers who work with people with disabilities aware of the importance of positive interaction and becoming familiar with government policies
and working towards changes as necessary. Hockman plans to put the information from her thesis online. For more information, contact her at the Vernon Disability Resource Centre at 250545-9292.
