A hog pile at Tolko Industries’ Armstrong division caught fire Sunday afternoon, and spread to nearby log piles. The resulting thick smoke caused an evacuation of some 300 nearby residents.
Chip pile fire sparks evacuation ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
For more than 30 years, Gary Berg and his wife, Chris, have peeked out their large living room window off Highway 97A between three Spallumcheen trailer courts and occasionally noticed plumes of smoke coming from the big chip piles across the road at Tolko Industries. It’s an occurrence Berg estimates happens “three or four times a year, like seeing a little bit of steam coming off a compost pile.” “The wind picks up, we see a little bit of smoke and usually the Tolko guys are on top of it quick with the bulldozer and they bury it,”
said Berg, an employee at a Vernon tire company. “This has been going on for years and years and years.” Sunday afternoon, Berg was watching TV at around 3 p.m. when he looked out the window of the home he bought in 1978 from his parents and saw “smoke like crazy coming from the back side of the sawdust pile.” “Not the side that faces the highway, the side that faces the other side of the mill, and I thought, ‘Holy,’” said Berg. “The wind was really starting to pick up and I thought, ‘They better get the bulldozer and bury that thing, and get it under control.” Within 15 minutes, esti-
mates Berg, the smoke was now going the length of the pile closest to the mill on the corner of Highway 97A and moving north towards Valley Auction. “Now we’re talking big flames, about 10-to-15-feet high and the wind was blowing,” said Berg. “Before any of the fire trucks arrived, I’m sure the mill had their own people working on it, but it jumped to the log pile, then to the next log pile and the next, past the auction sale. They called in water bombers and helicopters.” At around 7 p.m., Berg answered a knock on his door, and was told by search and rescue personnel that he and Chris had to get out,
and were given 15 minutes to pack up. “We were never in the smoke but I guess they worried about the wind change and embers hitting the bush and trees,” said Berg, who had just started his vacation. “That always goes through my mind whenever the bloody thing (chip pile) catches fire.” The Bergs took with them important documents, pictures, photo albums and a change of clothes and were told to report to an emergency social services centre established in Armstrong at the Centennial Hall. It was the first time in more than 30 years at their home the Bergs had been evacuated
by a fire. Residents of the three trailer parks that surround the Berg’s off-highway home, along with residents of two other parks on Spallumcheen Drive and Head Road were also evacuated. Those that reported to Centennial Hall did so in an orderly fashion, and volunteers had no problems dealing with the evacuees. “There was no panic, no chaos,” said Helen Sinclair, North Okanagan emergency social services co-ordinator. “We weren’t facing the truest form of human trauma but there’s always that element of uncertainty.” A total of 35 volunteers helped with the process

at Centennial Hall. The Salvation Army was there Sunday night with food and beverages, and were back again Monday morning to serve a pancake breakfast. Residents evacuated were allowed to return home Monday at 11 a.m. “The plan we have in place (for an emergency) worked, I’m really happy with it,” said Spallumcheen Mayor Will Hansma. “With how everything went here Sunday, we’re ready for virtually anything that can happen through our emergency co-ordination program that we have in place with our neighbouring communities.”

Pile fuels large worry for Tolko neighbour ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
It is the fuel that feeds Tolko’s cogeneration plant in Spallumcheen. It’s the hog pile, two massive mounds of chips and sawdust that resides outside the mill in plain view of passing motorists alongside Highway 97A and for residents of trailer parks across the highway. It is not uncommon for the hog pile to heat up and catch fire. When it happens, which some nearby residents estimate is about three or four times a year, a Tolko bulldozer operator onsite is quick on the scene and buries the smouldering chips underground. What is uncommon is what happened Sunday, when heavy winds prevented Tolko officials from putting out the fire in the hog pile, and the blaze spread to nearby log piles. Four fire departments plus air attack from helicopters and water bombers helped keep the blaze under control. But the ensuing thick smoke forced a cautionary evacuation of five trailer parks and a handful of nearby homes. “The hog pile’s been there for eons, for decades, it’s nothing new,” said Spallumcheen Mayor Will Hansma. “I haven’t had a worry about it. Occasionally it will start smouldering. Sunday was just a freak thing that happened with this one.” Hansma said he has had constituents express concerns over the hog pile, but he said he’s confident Tolko is doing everything it possibly can to prevent a fire disaster from happening. “They’ve got the co-gen plant there and it’s the hog fuel that feeds it to
“The hog pile’s been there for eons...” — Will Hansma keep up the level of power required to run it,” said Hansma. Richard Zawada doesn’t share the mayor’s confidence. Zawada is a 16-year resident of Belva’s Trailer Park, directly across from the mill on Highway 97A, which was evacuated during Sunday’s fire. He said a similar situation happened in 2009 when the pile caught fire and residents were put on evacuation alert. “I asked people at Tolko about the pile and they said they are managing it the best they can. You call that managing?” said Zawada. “It starts on fire every stinking year.” Zawada believes Tolko needs to be more accountable in managing the hog pile, or else Sunday’s neardisaster could turn out to be much worse. “Bottom line here, somewhere down the road someone has to take accountability,” he said. “Because one day, that mill is going to go up in flames and when it does you’re not going to be able to stop it.” Officials completely rescinded the evacuation alert issued to residents Monday at 3 p.m. The emergency operations centre and emergency social services operation reception areas were stopped, and site level operations were returned to Tolko Industries management.

Thieves make off with man’s wallet from city park ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Vernon RCMP are seeking justice for a robbery victim at Justice Court Park. A 41-year-old man told police he was in the park at the corner of 27th Street and 30th Avenue at 12:30 a.m. Monday when three unidentified men approached him and asked him for some spare change. “The man said he didn’t have any, and when he said that, the three men grabbed
him, took his wallet from his pocket and made off with the man’s credit cards and identification,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. A woman was also seen with the three men, but the victim told police she stood off to the side. The victim was unable to provide a description of the three male suspects. Molendyk said police are also investigating reports of a similar-type
robbery in the same area a day or two before
Monday’s incident. Anybody with any
information on the theft is asked to call the
Vernon RCMP at 250545-7171, or Crime
Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477).

Child drowns in lake Morning Star Staff
Tragedy struck a family vacation near Fintry Delta on Okanagan Lake Friday. North Okanagan Rural RCMP and the North Westside Fire and Rescue responded to a report of a toddler who had been located unconscious, facedown in Okanagan Lake at around 1 p.m. The child was flown by air ambulance to Kelowna General Hospital. Despite all attempts, the boy could not be revived. It’s believed the boy and his family were visiting the Okanagan from Alberta. The RCMP and the coroner are investigating but indications are the death was accidental. Police remind the public to be extra cautious in and around the water.

Hop on the bus, Gus
I
t’s been some time since I’ve rode transit but I remember the tense moments that came more than 20 years ago as I relied on the bus to get to college and then home again. With so few runs available then, you either had extremely long gaps between your arrival and the start of class, or you were plunking yourself down into a desk just as the instructor began speaking. And of course the entire day could be thrown out of whack if the bus was running late for a variety of reasons. That’s why I am puzzled by the debate over adding a second bus run between the North Okanagan and UBC’s campus in Kelowna, and Richard Rolke particularly the dithering by some jurisdictions. From everything I have heard and seen, the current bus to UBC, and particularly the one that arrives at 8:30 a.m., is highly popular and often it’s standing room only. The problem is that many of the classes begin at 8 a.m. and a second vehicle would alleviate some of the pressure. Some jurisdictions have expressed reluctance to fund another bus and that may make sense if you are in the Enderby or Lumby areas. How many riders are actually coming from the far reaches of the regional district? But it’s surprising that the District of Coldstream is still sitting on the sidelines. Mayor Jim Garlick says the municipality wants to see some statistics indicating what ridership actually is. “It’s one thing to take word-of-mouth that it’s full all the time. We want to see some actual numbers where the people riding the bus are

coming from and how many are on there,” he said. Does that mean council will not participate if the stats don’t indicate sufficient ridership from Coldstream, and what is the magic number of riders that would trigger funding ($3,600 if all of the regional district was involved)? It should be pointed out that many on Coldstream council have put themselves forward as advocates of the environment and sustainable communities. What could be more positive than reducing the vehicles that commute between this end of the valley and UBC every day? In terms of sustainability, having expanded transit links to a relatively close university may retain and attract young families to Coldstream. The benefits of increased access to post-secondary education particularly must be apparent to those who teach high school. And the reality is that if Vernon goes ahead with an expanded service without participation from other communities, Coldstream residents desperate to get to class on time will still find their way on to the bus. That means Vernon taxpayers will be subsidizing their neighbours and there’s nothing fair about that scenario. At the other end of the spectrum is Mike Gavinchuk, BX-Swan Lake director. “For our area, I want to chip in for sure,” he said. So if an elected official from a relatively small jurisdiction with limited tax base sees merit to an extra bus, why is a much larger player like Coldstream being indecisive? Given that the UBC run could also benefit people working in Kelowna or trying to get to the airport, it’s a question all residents should pose to council, and particularly as college classes will resume again soon.
Sometimes it takes an emergency situation before you truly appreciate the talents of those who stand between us and disaster. Quick and ongoing action averted large-scale destruction twice this week in the Okanagan. The fire crews, police, Ministry of Forests personnel and emergency program staff were all instrumental in safeguarding people and property in fires at the Tolko Industries sawmill in Spallumcheen and Seclusion Bay in West Kelowna. Strong winds in both instances quickly turned small fires into large infernos that chased people from their homes and closed major transportation routes in the valley. Certainly there was an inconvenience for many residents and travellers alike, but the co-ordination of the effort ensured limited property loss and no loss of lives. And at least one grateful company owner. “The fire department saved this building, otherwise it would have gone up for sure,” said Valley Auction owner Don Raffan. “We’re sitting here today because of them.” Raffan’s gratitude is both heartfelt and understandable, given the close call for his business that was averted thanks to the efforts of local firefighters. However, we should all be similarly grateful that when reports start to come in about a major fire and we see the billows of smoke on the horizon, that emergency personnel from various agencies are on the job to do their best to avert tragic circumstances. As we head into the summer season, and especially in light of recent events, it’s appropriate to honour these brave men and women as we also endeavour to do our best to keep fires from starting in the first place in the Okanagan this year.

Ontario and the western provinces have increased in population such that Ontario is slated for 18 new seats, Alberta five new seats and B.C. will gain seven new seats in representation in the House of Commons. The House of Commons is obligated to revise the distribution of seats based upon representation by population every 10 years. It is Vernon’s time for redistribution of seats in our regional, political world. In the 2006 Census the City of Vernon had a population of 36,922 citizens. With the population growth rate of two per cent per annum the City of Vernon will be in excess of 40,000 population by July 1, 2010; whereas the regional district surrounding Vernon is only 20,000 people. The city’s 40,000 citizens are not fairly represented on the regional board to the point
VERNON TRIBUTE Vernon has been our home for almost three years, Unfortunately we have to move back to the coast despite my disappointment and tears I have wonderful memories to take with me and made some very good friends, However, I wish we could stay here forever and life in Vernon would never end I thoroughly enjoy the people here, everyone has been so kind, This is the small town a city girl dreamt of, moving here gave me joy & peace of mind The support here was amazing, we belonged to several different communities, Thank-You for all the love and the different opportunities It’s difficult to leave a great life here and I will miss our fabulous summers, I certainly won’t forget the Okanagan or the hospital where I first became a mother I have always said Vernon is my “home, sweet home�, I hope one day we can move back, To this town that represents community, friendships, family and
that if 20,000 of the citizens of Vernon are provided with the same level of representation by population as is provided to the less than 20,000 people resident in the regional area around Vernon, then the remaining 20,000 citizens of Vernon are without a vote and are not represented at the board table. This has to change. It is not acceptable that half of the citizens of Vernon are disenfranchised at the regional board table. There are two solutions to this dilemma.
where the atmosphere is so laid back I live in a fabulous cul-de-sac with amazing neighbors indeed, They lend a hand, they babysit, they offer friendship and anything else we might need My baby girl and I had many things to do, our dogs had lakes to swim and play, It seems like Vernon lacks nothing, it almost felt like we had it all at the end of the day To my co-workers at Jubilee Psych, you know who you are, I learned so much from all of you and in my heart, you’re all a star So good-bye Vernon, thank-you for all I know, No matter where we end up, there’s simply no place like home! Until we meet again, be great and be well, Be healthy, be safe, and to all of you, thank-you and farewell! Candice Colgan RECALL MLA It is time to stop playing with our elected MLAs. I say we start having recall elections throughout B.C. Let’s recall our elected MLA Eric Foster. I do
should become a contributing part of the 40,000 population of the city as the City of Vernon is a chartered city regulated by the authorities vested in it by the province and the federal government. The regional table is an administration only and is not a governing body. The city as of July 1, 2010 will be in excess of 40,000 population. As with the federal redistribution of seats and the rebalancing of the electorate; it is Vernon’s turn. It is incumbent on the City of Vernon and the province to correct the population First Choice: representation that affects our city. s $OUBLE THE #ITY OF 6ERNON S REPRESENTAThe council of the City of Vernon is oblition at the regional table, thus balancing the gated to its citizens to request of the provrepresentation by population between the ince of B.C. to correct our representation CITIZENS OF ./2$ AND THE #ITY OF 6ERNON and adjust our representation to our govSecond Choice: ernment of the City of Vernon.

not know how to do it, but someone out there does. I will help with the recall. Mr. Foster was elected by his constituents. He is elected to represent his constituents' wishes. Yet all Mr. Foster seems to do is toe the party line and spew out all the Liberal propaganda that comes down the pipe. Hell we could have elected an MP3 or a cassette tape recorder if we wanted that. The Liberals swore in the last election that there were going to be no new taxes. Then within days after the election they bring about this HST. Now Mr. Foster, you said, because all you do is spew the party rhetoric, that there will be no new taxes, yet you are in favor of the HST. That sounds like a new tax or at least a tax that has been upped. You say it is good, I disagree. How can it be good for your constituents, when a lot are barely making it now, on the low wages this region is notorious for and you are going to raise the price of pretty much everything. Also there is the Olympics. Yes, I was against them. Why because I thought we were paying a hefty price. Now to pay for them, you and
your government are not putting enough money into the health care and education. Wasn’t it your illustrious leader that said he wanted B.C. to have the best education around? Then he and his party, so therefore you, are back to closing schools down, by not giving enough money to the school boards. So I believe that it is time to recall Eric Foster‌ sooner rather than later. Michael Olsen FALKLAND KINDNESS I am writing to say thank you to the wonderful gentleman who helped me on June 18 in Falkland. My motorcycle had conked out, and after finally determining I had no clue why it wasn't working, I headed over to the Petro-Can to seek help. Before I even got there, a resident of Falkland offered to give me a hand, and even went home to get the necessary tools. Within five minutes he had me up and running. I don't know what I would have done without him, it was such a kindness to stop and help a stranger. Thank you again, and thanks to
Falkland for always being such a great place to stop and fill up, have a bite to eat, and rest my weary legs. T. Radke

Thief damages businesses ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A commercial break-and-enter spree Tuesday has Vernon RCMP searching for a stolen red pick-up truck. The vehicle was taken from the lot at Walthers Pontiac Buick GMC Ltd. on 27th Street and 35th Avenue at around 3:30 a.m., driving through a gate to get out of the lot. Between 3:30 and 4 a.m., police report the truck smashed into Temptasian Restaurant on Anderson Way, Reflections Hair Studio on 48th Avenue and Budget Car and Truck Rental on
Vernon Butcher Shop
“This individual caused many thousands of dollars worth of damage.” — Gord Molendyk 27th Street. “This individual caused many thousands of dollars worth of damage,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “It appears the suspect entered the premises looking for cash or items within these businesses.” Molendyk said a couple of cash drawers were stolen from Temptasian but did not know
if the drawers contained any money. As of Tuesday noon, the truck had not been recovered. The truck is believed to have been damaged in the incidents. Anybody with any information on the break-ins is asked to call the Vernon RCMP at 250545-7171, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Crews contain fire to mill site BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff

noon Sunday and Crick says right now it looks like the cause of the blaze is natural. “At this time, I’ve yet to do an investigation,” he said. “I would suspect a possible spontaneous combustion but we will make inquiries.” The mill itself suffered little damage though a Cat tractor and a lunchroom were lost. Neighbouring Valley Auction sustained damage to its cattle pen. Winds played havoc with firefighters early on but later changed in their favour. “As the evening went on, the wind actually shifted around to the southeast from the southwest, the opposite direction than we were expecting,” said Crick. “It kept smoke away from the highway and kept firebrands (embers) from going into the trailer courts on the east side of the highway.”
Tolko site manager Pat Donnelly said the fire wasn’t a total oddity and that the mill is prepared for such events. “I won’t say it’s a freak incident but it’s an incident we will want to learn from and figure out how we’re going to make sure it doesn’t happen again,” he said. The mill was closed Monday but on Tuesday, Donnelly said the sawmill would start again Wednesday and the plywood facility, already scheduled to be closed this week, will be reviewed next week for a possible restart. “We’ve basically completed fire clean up,” he said. “We’ve done some infrared scans this morning and there’s limited hot spots. “Log delivery starts again tomorrow as well.” Donnelly said the hog fuel pile will continue to be used in the mill’s plywood drying facility,
dry kilns and to generate steam which supplies power to BC Hydro. Vernon fire rescue services emergency program co-ordinator Brent Watson commended residents, many of whom stayed in hotels overnight, for their conduct through the process. “It’s never easy leaving your home on short notice and they did absolutely wonderful,” he said. Three-quarters of Tolko’s southern log deck burned but Donnelly said enough logs remain to restart operations immediately. All local fire departments reported with about 50 firefighters on scene. About 15 more officials from the Ministry of Forests were there as well as search and rescue members. Two helicopters and two fire suppressant bombers were used to combat the blaze.

Life is returning to normal for residents living near the Tolko Industries mill after an evacuation order, given when a fire broke out Sunday near the mill, was lifted a day later. More than 300 people from five trailer courts were evacuated Sunday evening when a bark and sawdust pile, called hog fuel, burst into flame. Recent scorching temperatures dried the debris and flames engulfed the pile rapidly, spreading to the nearby log yard. Action from the many fire crews that responded is being credited for containing the fire. No homes were damaged. “It was a long, hard evening,” said Armstrong deputy fire chief Alastair Crick at a press conference Monday. “It was very, very heavy smoke, a lot of extreme heat and perseverance (from firefighters). “The mill workers did a tremendous job of putting out unburned wood to try to save product at the same time without putting themselves at risk.” According to RCMP Sgt. Dave Evans, smoke was so thick Sunday night that cars were rerouted because of poor visibility. Ministry of Transportation officials helped with traffic control though Highway 97 reopened Monday morning just after midnight. Firefighters were called in the late after-

AAA CARPET CARE
News Golf event honours unique spirit Morning Star Staff
A Vernon woman’s dream of honouring her fiance was an overwhelming success. Leah Wuolle and friends and family organized an inaugural golf tournament June 12 to remember Darren Cabral, who died March 1. Cabral and Wuolle were supposed to be married June 12. “Our day, which originally was to be shared with our loved ones celebrating our marriage, turned into a day celebrating our community, Darren’s life and being present to continue his legacy,” she said. The goal was $10,000 but $15,500 was collected, meaning two people will receive upgraded cochlear implants to improve hearing and one Okanagan College student will receive a $1,900 bursary towards a human services work diploma. “This is an absolutely amazing result for our first tournament and we could not have done it without the community,” said Wuolle. Cabral, 34, died from a brain aneurism but an auto immune disorder also presented underlying health issues. Wuolle says there was a need to preserve Cabral’s spirit and legacy. “I wanted people to understand more about Darren, his disabilities and his amazingly positive outlook on life,” said Wuolle. Flu-like symptoms in
1996 led to hearing loss and heart valve deterioration. Two valves were replaced and he then went through doublebypass heart surgery in early 2001. Blocked arteries put him in hospital again in September 2009. One of the individuals receiving the cochlear implant upgrade lives in Winfield while the other is in Powell River. “They both are lowincome families and they would not be able to have this upgrade without our
donations,” said Wuolle. There are plans to move ahead with the tournament again next year, and while Wuolle still struggles with his passing, she is touched by the support shown by the community. “I wanted to share our love story and give presence for the time we spent together,” she said of Cabral. “I wanted to show my appreciation, thankfulness, and say how absolutely humbled I am for

ultimately protected his business from all but minor damage. Raffan will likely have to replace the roof of the stable and some of the posts in the cattle pen. He feels lucky that’s all it is and has no complaints about Tolko who have been next door since the 1960s. “They’ve always been great neighbours; they take care of things,” he said. “Sometimes our cattle wander onto their property and they deal with it.”

A day of boating on Shuswap River was rudely interrupted for Valley Auction owner Don Raffan Sunday when he heard the fire at Tolko Industries was threatening his business. Upon receiving a call from his son, Raffan rushed to the scene to find smoke so thick he could barely make out where he was. “We got there as fast as we could go,” said Raffan, 56. “It was an overwhelming fire, lots of smoke. You couldn’t see the building hardly.” Walking around the property the next day, Raffan pointed to nearby crews cleaning up near a sawdust pile and said the whole area was filled with smoke. Spot fires broke out in his cattle pen and damaged the roof of the stable. Things could have been much worse. “It’s a lot better than it could have been,” said Raffan. “The fire department saved this building, otherwise it would have gone up for sure. “We’re sitting here today because of them.” Extinguishing the fires that had begun as embers from the Tolko site was in the hands of firefighters but there was still the matter of the 75 head of cattle in the Valley Auction pens. Raffan said moving
was unbelievable,” said Raffan. Once the cattle were taken to Curtis Farms, there was not much that Raffan and the fire crews could do. It was a helpless feeling for the auctioneer as he returned home Sunday night. “We left and we expected the worst,” said Raffan. “We expected to come back to a pile of rubble. “Those boys did the best they could,” he said of the fire crews that

Outstanding and compassionate care different
Welcome to a kind of medical clinic.
New campfire regulations take effect Morning Star Staff
New regulations that shrink the size of legal campfires with the intention of reducing the risk of humancaused wildfires are now in effect. Under the new regulations, campfires cannot be larger than half a metre in height and half a metre in diameter. Previously, campfires were permitted to a maximum size of one metre by one metre. “As we head into peak camping season, I want to remind people that more than 850 fires resulted from careless human behaviour in 2009. That number must come down,� said Forests Minister Pat Bell. “We want people to enjoy the great outdoors, but not at the cost of public safety.� The new rules also require campers to build a fire guard around their fires by scraping down to the dirt
and clearing away potentially flammable debris, such as twigs, leaves and needles. A shovel or at least eight litres of water must be stored nearby to extinguish the fire. Failure to comply with new rules will result in a $345 fine. An additional $345 fine will be levied for campfires lit during a ban. “Make no mistake. If we catch people being careless and causing wildfires this summer, we will aggressively pursue penalties for those responsible,� said Bell. “The message we want to deliver is that we take wildfires seriously - and so should you.� Since April 1, fire crews have responded to 310 fires across the province, of which 260 were human-caused. Anyone who causes a wildfire through arson or recklessness can be fined up to $1 million or spend three years in prison.

Fire risk alert issued for Westside North Westside Road residents are being reminded to be prepared for possible wildfires. Partly based on last year’s Terrace Mountain blaze, electoral area director Jim Edgson is asking people to do what they can to minimize the risk of fire. “Hopefully forest fires will not impact the Central Okanagan West as they did last year, but all of us need to be careful,� he said. “We can all start by looking at our own homes and being sure we keep the area around our homes clear of combustible debris.� Edgson says it is also important for residents to consider the needs of firefighters, police officers and paramedics when they are responding to an emergency.
“Can they get into and out of your home easily and safely? Can they find your home?� he said. “Is the street address number clearly visible
meat
from the road? I would recommend you prepare for your and your family’s safety, and to do what you can do to protect your home and property.�

Housing construction continues to expand in the North Okanagan. There were 22 housing starts in Vernon in June, a 29 per cent increase from the 17 starts during the same month in 2009. “More favourable construction and financing costs and expectations of lower vacancy rates through the longer term have triggered more interest in rental construction,” said Paul Fabri, a market analyst with the Canada
Mortgage and Housing Corporation. “Low mortgage interest rates have been a key factor contributing to increased demand for new detached homes.” Of the 22 starts in June, 20 were for single-detached residences and two were for multiple-family units. Year-to-date, there have been 122 starts in Vernon compared to 119 during the first six months of 2009. In urban B.C., the rate for housing starts edged up to 23,600 units.

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 traffic 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.

Camp helps youth unleash inner actor KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Standing from tallest to smallest, the group of young, aspiring theatre students call out their names and ages one at a time. Some step forward on the stage, arms on their hips superhero-like, enunciating their name loudly and proudly for all to hear. Others have their heads bowed, uttering under their breath who they are. Stage fright aside, there is always a part to play in the theatre, says Alyssa Perau, one of the actors who has come to run the Missoula Children’s Theatre camp at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre this week. The fun began Monday with the group auditions, which helped the camp leaders assess the 61 attendees, who at the end of this week, will put on a musical production of Robinson Crusoe at the centre. “(Children) are like sponges. They absorb anything you give them. You have to be honest with them or they will call you out. You have to be on your A game,” said Perau, a 20-year-old Minnesota native who is studying acting performance at Viterbo University in Wisconsin. “This is going to be fun. And they’re honestly going to find out what a job in the theatre is like.” Perau has joined her cohort, Lisa Michaels, to work with the youth in Vernon. And the women know, first hand, what auditioning for a part can be like. Hired after a national cattle call audition, the duo spent two weeks training in Missoula, Montana, where North America’s largest touring children’s theatre is located. “We learned about the show, did workshops and worked in different situations. We practised teaching with local kids there and with each other,” said Perau. “Lisa and I are the only tour team in Canada this summer, so it’s exciting. We had to get our passports, which works for me as I am studying abroad next year.” With the company motto to teach life skills through performing arts, Missoula hires tour teams all year round to conduct theatre camps, or residencies, all over the U.S., Canada as well as internationally. Last year, another Missoula team presented Pinocchio to local children and audiences, and this year’s production of Robinson Crusoe plans to be just as intriguing. “It was written in 2007, and is in the cycle right now. It’s

The Missoula Children’s Theatre camp culminates Saturday with a live presentation of Robinson Crusoe. like Disney, the plays come in and out of the vault, and the tour office picks which ones we are going to do,” said Perau, who with Michaels, will act in the play as needed. However, it’s up to the kids to learn their parts, and be the real stars of the show, she added. The play is different from the original version of Daniel Defoe’s book, where a castaway encounters a remote island and must look towards the locals in order to survive before his S.O.S. is answered. Those who have seen the Tom Hanks’ film Cast Away may see a similar concept as the children’s theatre production, written and conceived by Jim Caron, shows the island several years after Robinson and his sole companion, a goat named Wilson, are shipwrecked. The remote island becomes a sought-out tourist destina-
tion centered on Friday’s Seaside Resort. “The Missoula Children’s Theatre have done more editing in their presentation of Robinson Crusoe, painting a childcentered theme of unleashing one’s imagination through the power of reading,” said Brian van Wensem, the Vernon Performing Arts Centre’s audience development coordinator. “The lesson of reading inspiring observation is taught as it enhances the opportunity to imagine details; a luxury lost in the world of watching television and movies.” Audiences can see what the young cast makes of the concept when Robinson Crusoe is staged Saturday at 3 and 5:30 p.m. All seats are $12, and are available at the Ticket Seller box office in the centre. Call 549-7469 or order online at www. ticketseller.ca.
Runaway Moon swims along Shuswap for community play Morning Star Staff
We drink it, swim and fish in it, put our boats on it. It cools a hot summer day, and we grudgingly shovel it in winter. Water’s hold on us runs very deep. Sawllkwa (water in the Shuswap language of Secwepemctsin) is the title of Runaway Moon Theatre’s newest community summer spectacle running July 24 and 25 at the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre, east of Enderby. “Hundreds have been involved in the
creation of this outdoor performance,” said Runaway Moon’s Jaci Metivier. “Over 70 people contributed water words in as many languages. Well over a hundred have created ceramic vessels, made music and movement inspired by water, and decorated fabric with a multitude of dyeing and printing techniques.” A group of performers is now hard at work rehearsing to put everything together into one unforgettable performance celebrating the beauty, variety, texture, and
sounds of water in all its forms. Special guest artist Jimmy Ouma Okello has recently arrived from Kenya on his second visit to work and perform with Runaway Moon. Two theatre interns from Montreal, Hannah Morrow and Jesse Orr, are also joining the creative team, led by director Varrick Grimes and artistic director Cathy Stubington. Also on board are Murray MacDonald as music director, and Kristi Christian looking after movement and dance.
“With a pool of talent this wide and deep, the results are sure to be as refreshing as a cold drink on a very hot day,” said Metivier. The show will go on rain or shine, outdoors at the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre, 2550 Enderby-Mabel Lake Rd. (25 kilometres past Enderby towards Mabel Lake). Entrance is by donation and seating is available. Call 250-306-3935 or visit info@runawaymoon.org for more information.

Why Rarearth, why Vernon?
W
hile I am always open to every suggestion, every comment, and every good intending word about how to run the festival, and I honestly do my best to hear your words and put them into action, two questions are consistently asked of me: Why Rarearth? And, if you can believe it, why Vernon? And I say, why not? But I know that’s not enough to fill the curiosity void, so here’s the real story. A long awaited Caribbean cruise brought us to the beautiful island of Cozumel, well, at least that’s what the brochure said. But when we don’t live in hurricane country and you’ve read that one has struck with a vengeance of 140 mph winds across the world somewhere, there’s just no understanding in our carnage-free existence of how Hurricane Wilma might have affected the lives and homes of people that we don’t even know –– news one day and gone
the next. However, the brochure was right, the little island seriously takes your breath away with her beauty. I just don’t seem to recall seeing millions of precious, tiny crystals, of seasoned rock and coral smothered in a blanket of plastic in those pictures. Kath Raeber These are the same crystals that bring us a sense of tranquility when they sift through our fingers or stick to the bottoms of our feet, but now who can barely scream “help” under a huge heap of plastic: plastic, plastic, plastic, everywhere. Were those milk jugs and plastic bags hiding under the ocean when Hurricane Wilma taunted, “one, two three, you’re it?” How beyond grateful am I –– are we –– to live here on our breathtaking piece of “rare earth” and how will I tell the world enough is really enough! So with the power of Wilma behind me, and an amazing dedicated team of those on the same page, I became

Cowboy up at O’Keefe Ranch Morning Star Staff
Every Friday night during July and August, the whole neighbourhood is invited out to the Cowboy Dinner Show at Historic O’Keefe Ranch. “This is a truly unique evening for everyone, and is a great event for visiting family and friends,” said Alicia Kay, special events coordinator. The ringing of the cooks triangle calls everyone to dinner at 6:30 p.m., but those who come early can enjoy a refreshment from the no host bar or take a ride on the BX Express, a horsedrawn stagecoach which once transported thousands of gold seekers up the
Cariboo Trail during the Gold Rush. The stagecoach runs all evening long. Historian, author, and cowboy poet Ken Mather, cowboy musician Rob Dinwoodie, singer Jocelyn Dinwoodie and multi-instrumentalist Dixon Zalit are providing the fun-filled evening of music, song, storytelling and cowboy poetry. The night ends at 9:30 p.m. with a cowboy sing-a-long- around a blazing campfire. Tickets are $42.95 for individuals or $80 a couple. Call 250-542-7868 to make a reservation.

To market, to market Morning Star Staff
The open-air art markets are back by popular demand at the Caetani Cultural Centre. The first market takes place Saturday and will feature a number of local artisans and artists displaying and selling their wares. “There is an undeniably strong demand for Vernon to have a dedicated arts and craft market and the project has received overwhelming support from local artisans,” said Judy Katalinic, executive director of the Caetani centre. “The markets are essentially a collaboration of skilled local artists and artisans who together provide a fascinating assortment of colourful stalls that showcase unique, locally-made products.” Saturday’s list of vendors includes Vernon sculptor Deborah Wilson, who is “among the best of the world’s contemporary jade sculptors” as quoted in the National Geographic. Her work has been shown with wide acclaim across Canada and the U.S. and her workshops attract international visitors to the North Okanagan. Wilson will sell her stone carvings and hand-carved gemstone jewelry at the market. Adding to the variety will be Vernon’s Ashpa Naira Gallery, representing artists such as Doug Alcock and Bev Benet, and the Headbones
Gallery, with works by Lorne Wagman and Robert Bigelow, to name a few. Visitors will also have the rare opportunity to purchase metalwork sculptures by Caetani centre resident, Sandra De Vries. “There is nothing ordinary about this market,” said Katalinic. “We can guarantee that visitors will find that one-of-a-kind piece they are looking for to suit all pockets or a unique gift for someone special.” Colleen Couves and Angela Broad are just two studio artists at Caetani who will open their doors on the day, while stalls selling clothes, masks, jewelry and handmade organic cosmetics are all thrown into the mix, providing a fun, energetic atmosphere. “Gum Tree Catering is running the Courtyard Café where visitors can relax with a cup of coffee and gentle music to entertain. There will also be a few surprises for the kids, who will not go away empty handed,” said Katalinic. This weekend’s market, followed by another one Aug. 14, is a precursor to a whole season of Saturday morning open air markets slated for 2011, added Katalinic. They take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission is free. The Caetani Cultural Centre is located at 3401 Pleasant Valley Rd. More information is available at www.caetaniculturalcentre.org.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Because you’re likely to be far more charismatic than you realize, others will find your company to be fun and delightful. You’ll especially attract the attention of members of the opposite gender. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) A matter having something to do material security, which has caused you some concern, is likely to be put to rest. You will finally start to see that light at the end of the tunnel. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Be sure to use your warm personality to make those important points that need to be impressed upon others. Using a bit of theatrics and a touch of wit will help tremendously. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Personal gains are likely to be made, but how they come about could be rather unusual and different. However, it won’t matter as long as they are garnered in an honest manner. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A very pleasant surprise might be in the offing, when someone you thought didn’t like you goes out of his/her way to help you realize a big goal you haven’t been able to reach on your own. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) There is someone who is reluctant to express his/her feelings for you because you’ve been a bit standoffish. If you’ve done so out of fear, and you actually like this person, give him/her a signal.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) It won’t be through hard arguments or strong assertiveness that you’ll sway others to your way of thinking. It will be by appealing to their finer instincts and sensitivities that you’ll soften their stance. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Even if observers aren’t aware of it, you know you have accomplished something of great worth. The sense of personal pride and gratification you feel will be what counts. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might get that opportunity you’ve been looking for to clarify something that onlookers haven’t been able to understand. Once you get to explain yourself, you’ll feel a lot better. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Someone who owes you a lot for what you’ve done for him/her in the past will step forward and do something for you that will be of tremendous value to you. S/ he has been waiting for this opportunity.
HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes and weight gain. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

Bridge by Phillip Alder Lucille Ball said, “The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.” Often, the secret of staying alive when on defense at the bridge table is to card honestly, take tricks slowly, and ignore your age. East made a very bad error during the defense of this deal. West opened with a textbook weak two-bid, showing a respectable sixcard suit and 5-10 highcard points. After two passes, South balanced with two no-trump, promising 16-18 points. Obviously, South might have passed with such strong spades, but he was worried that his side would miss a vulnerable game. Here, though, North had to
pass. (Remember, if West had opened one spade, and South had balanced with one no-trump, that would have shown only 11-14 points.) West led the spade queen. After East discarded the club seven, declrer won with his king and ran the diamond six. East took his jack and shifted to the heart four, declarer winning with his ace and playing a second diamond, covered by the 10, king and ace. What should East have done now? East, knowing that his partner was out of diamonds and that he had no entry left, made the fatal mistake of cashing the diamond queen. Yes, he would never have scored that trick if he had
NOW OPEN FRIDAYS & EVENINGS not taken it then, but it established two winners for declarer -- a net gain of one. And East knew that the club king was a dummy entry. A heart or club return would have defeated the contract, but now South took two spades, three hearts, two diamonds and one club.

Tigers run down Rattlers
Morning Star Staff
Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Re/Max Tigers have earned the chance to defend their Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League crown. The Cats got a pair of key goals from unlikely sources to upend the Kamloops Rattlers 8-6 in the deciding Game 3 of the TOJLL semifinals Monday night at Wesbild Centre. Trailing throughout the game, the Tigers got clutch goals from defensive specialists Joey Klein and Blake Lewis, who recorded the winner on a breakout with captain Robbie Short. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just like to contribute. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually in a more defensive role, but when I saw the opportunity for the 2-on-1 with Robbie, I just tried to jump up with the play and give us a chance to score,â&#x20AC;? said Lewis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually have the opportunity to score so it was nice to get another one.â&#x20AC;? Regarding Kleinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal, Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach Bryan Klein, and also Joeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, chuckled: â&#x20AC;&#x153;He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scored in two years. He just got a loose ball, went up on a breakaway and tied it up.â&#x20AC;? The defending champion Tigers now face the Kamloops Venom in a best-of-five series for the TOJLL title. Game 1 is tentatively scheduled for Friday night at Wesbild Centre. Klein, who called a team meeting before Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, was impressed with how his squad rebounded from a disappointing performance in Game 2 the night before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all had to refocus on our goals and tasks, and could tell in our warmup that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be competitive. The mindset was there.â&#x20AC;? Despite falling behind 3-1 after the first period, the Tigers remained steady and chipped away at Kamloopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lead, getting singles from Craig Bigsby (2G), Riley Soleway (2G) and Klein. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last game in Kamloops we were too scrambly, and were getting beat one-on-one. This game started off with more of the same, but eventually we tightened things up and made it more difficult for them to get the ball to the net,â&#x20AC;? said Lewis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The offence will come, we have enough threats up there, we just need to play a more well rounded game.â&#x20AC;?

The Tigers won 8-6 and will advance to face the Kamloops Venom in the final. The Cats got other offence from Braidy Webb and Short, who added five helpers. In the Venom, the Tigers will be facing three of the top-four goal scorers in the TOJLL. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us to be successful, Josh (Phillips, Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; netminder) has probably got to be the best player on the floor,â&#x20AC;? said Klein, who praised his keeper for a solid effort in Game 3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played them before and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played them well. I expect it will be a long series.â&#x20AC;? Added Lewis: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Venom have proven to be one of the best teams in the league for the last couple of years, and we need to be ready for them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we all play our roles, and the players continue to buy into our systems, we can win the

league again.â&#x20AC;? In Game 2 Sunday night in Kamloops, the Rattlers got goals from Ryan Flottorp and Trent Evans in the opening minute, cruising to a 9-3 win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our kids werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready to play,â&#x20AC;? said Klein, describing the loss as a poor team effort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We clawed our way back to 3-2 and looked like we were coming alive, but then they scored a few more goals and that kind of decided our fate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were hitting the corners and we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. We were hitting him (goalie) in the numbers.â&#x20AC;? Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offence came from Bayne Bosquet, Brooks Christensen and Craig Bigsby. The Venom swept the Kelowna Warriors 2-0 in the other semi. The Venom outlasted the Warriors 9-6 in Game 2 Thursday night at Memorial Arena in Kelowna.

You just had to grind it out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the pros were struggling on the greens with that wind and hard pin placements. It was easy to three-putt if you were above the hole.â&#x20AC;?

To raise $20,000, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unheard of these days.â&#x20AC;?

United girls rule Morning Star Staff
Vernon United Under 13 girls are the best in B.C. United shut down Coquitlam Black Ice 2-0 in the gold-medal game at the B.C. Soccer Association B Cup Championships Sunday afternoon in Richmond. United controlled possession from the start, and were rewarded early when captain Hanna Love converted an AJ Jacura cross in the 10th minute. Two minutes later, Love delivered a cross to Teigan Moore who completed the Vernon attack. After that, Vernon settled into a possession game, getting solid defensive play from Sarah Huber, Lee Richardson, Tarah Smith, Sierra Hatten, Mara McLaughlin and Kendra Early. Shelby Hughes nearly made it 3-0 in the 34th minute, narrowling missing the net on a cross from Love. “It was a well-played game. The girls believed they could move forward, and believed they could win it,” said John Hughes, who coaches alongside Keith Hatten. “They got better as the tournament went on.” In the second half, Huber and goalie Julia Kemper teamed up to fend off a Coquitlam breakaway in the 40th minute. Kemper then recorded terrific back-toback saves in final minute to preserve the shutout, including one where she just got her fingertips on the ball to earn a deflection off the post. In addition to B.C. champions, United also collected the Fair Play Award for being the tournament’s most sportsmanlike team, as chosen by the referees. “We were really quite surprised by that. Normally teams that win the tournament don’t get that award,” said Hughes. “It shows not only how well we played on the field, but our gamesmanship as well.” Vernon advanced to the final by grounding Comox SWAT 2-1 in Saturday semifinal action. In the 15th minute, Smith headed in a ball off an Erin Sakamoto corner. Moore sailed one just over crossbar two minutes later. Smith then displayed solid defending by repelling a 2-on-1 in the 20th minute,
helping Vernon hang onto a 1-0 lead at halftime. Jordon Korol made it 2-0 in the 63rd minute, clicking with Sakamoto on a nice cross. Comox replied four minutes later to make a game of it, but United’s defenders did well to shut down any further SWAT attacks. U13 United, who finished the season at 14-6-5, are sponsored by Beachcomber Home Leisure, Dr. Mike Kersey, Butcher Boys, Nixon-Wenger and Brouwer Claims Canada. The other U13 players are Nikita Payne, Riley Martian, Tamara Andronik and Natalie Moore. Meanwhile, Kirsten Dodds pocketed the winner in a second overtime period as the Vernon United grounded Nelson 2-1 to claim bronze in the girls U16/17 division in Richmond. Vernon got off to a rough start as Nelson was given a direct free kick on Vernon’s 18-yard line. Vernon keeper Dayna Epp made a World-Cup diving save, only to have a Nelson player knock in rebound as a result of poor marking by Vernon’s defence. After some minor adjustments at halftime, Vernon started the second half in full control, starting the attack from their own defence and using all 11 players to created several great scoring chances. Jenessa Moore equalized for United in the 65th minute, blasting a free kick from 30 yards out Vernon’s defence shut down Nelson’s offence in OT, allowing Vernon’s midfield and forwards to go heavy to the attack. In the second overtime, Moore drew a player to her before feeding Dodds, who pounded it to the far corner for the winner. “Every girl on the team gave 100 per cent and played with all heart this weekend,” said United coach Rick Price, who named Maria Thorlakson tournament MVP. “It was a great way to end the season with all 15 girls playing brilliantly.” United advanced to the bronze-medal game by playing Richmond to a 2-2 draw on Saturday. After scrambling early, Vernon eventually settled down, and at the 35-minute

Thorlakson added her second goal in the second half, but Richmond scored two late goals to salvage the tie. The other United U16/17 players are: Katelyn Dyck, Justine Correia, Amanda Sakamoto, Sachiko Ouchi, Shelby Price, Cayla Brown, Toren Huntley, Mary Bennett, Kirman Nijjar and Kirsty Lewis.
Tsunami roll Squirt title Morning Star Staff
The Cloverdale Tsunami stormed the Sardis Slammers 18-3 in the gold-medal game to claim the B.C. Squirt C Girls Fastball Championship title Sunday at Grahame Park. “The on-field action was outstanding and had everyone on the edge of their lawn chairs,” said Jodi Rolke, Vernon Minor Fastball Association vice-president. “Right from the first ball, these young women demonstrated that they are top junior athletes. And given that they had to endure sweltering temperatures, their skills are even more impressive.” The 16-team tourney included players ages 10-12 from across B.C., including
the Vernon Panthers, coached by Arnie Head, Dave Fletcher and Tai Vuong. “While they were shut out, the team proved to be excellent representatives for Vernon and the North Okanagan,” said Rolke. “When you consider that many of them are first-time players, the skill development over the season is impressive. The association is extremely proud of the Vernon Panthers’ players and coaches.” Planning for the provincials began six months ago, and a large contingent of volunteers ensured everything ran smoothly over the three days, whether it was scorekeeping, running the concession or preparing the fields. “We couldn’t have put on

Rolke thanked local corporate sponsors who rallied behind the event, and the Funtastic Sports Society which provided considerable support.

There was a four-way tie for sixth place, with Jesse Crowe, Shaun Richardson, Robert Letvinchuk and Dean Claggett hitting 75s to earn $462.50 apiece. In the Two Best Net Per Hole team event, Vandenbrink’s group of Jim Atmore, Jon Atmore and Gary Hinkle finished at -19 to earn Callaway Range Finders. Vandenbrink picked up a $500 pro payout. Ryan Matuishuk netted $400 for guiding his foursome of Dale Koepke, Mike Parenteau and Ian Dawson to a combined -18 to rank second (Titleist drivers). Third place (Scotty Cameron Putters) went to the team of Shaun Richardson ($250), Brian Johnson, Brad Lay and Joe Candeloro, who finished at -17. Crowe ($250), looking like a distant cousin of the Norwegian curling team, helped his amateur crew – Jeff Parker, Lune Wong and George Meredith – also finish at -17 to collect Sun Mountain V1 Speed Carts. “I had those pants before the Norway team, and even before John Daly started wearing them,” laughed Crowe, of his harlequin-pattern pants. “I only bring them out for special occassions.” Fred Pidlaski ($100) headed the fifth-place foursome of Frank Dieter, Jason Bilodeau and Doug Lemiski to a -16 (Hollas shirt, short and belt outfit).

Trevor and Heather Wurtele, both formerly of Vernon, made it a husband and wife sweep at the Persona Desert Half Ironman Triathlon Sunday in Osoyoos. More than 300 competitors braved the 35-degree heat, with 283 completing the full two-kilometre swim, 90-km bike, 20-km run course. Trevor, racing in the Elite Men’s division, did it in four hours, 17 minutes and 24 seconds. Heather was the top Elite Woman in 4:35:27. Another local husband and wife combo also turned in a stellar performance in the amateur division of the Osoyoos half. Vernon’s Andrew Sellars (4:27:25) was first overall while wife Ginny was the second female finisher in 5:13:13. Vernon’s Simon Craig was 17th overall in 4:58:44. Jennifer Bond, racing in her first-ever half, was first in the women’s 30-34 division and 70th overall in 5:34:03. Peter Baumeister was third in the men’s 19-24 (5:46:22). A week earlier, Heather was second and Trevor took third at the Subaru Vancouver International Triathlon. “It’s unusual to compete in two such taxing events with only a six-day respite, but our coach, Nick White of Carmichael Training Systems (CTS) in Tucson recommended it as a good step in preparation for our upcoming events of Ironman Canada and Ironman Arizona,” said Trevor. The Wurteles, who split their summer training time between Vernon and Kelowna, are sponsored by Blue Bikes, Rolf Prima Wheels, CycleOps Power, Aquasphere Wetsuits, Avia Shoes, First Endurance Nutrition, Custom House/Western Union and Cougar Canyon Clothing.

Drillers dig deep for crown Morning Star Staff
While Spain was busy taking it to the Netherlands in the World Cup Sunday afternoon, Goplen Drillers were getting it done at the North Okanagan Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Soccer Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Masters Tournament. Still exhausted from a 2-0 semifinals win over the Vernon Chick Kickers just 30 minutes earlier, the shorthanded Drillers gritted out a 2-1 win over Tillicum Controllers in the championship game Sunday at Marshall Field. The Drillers executed a smart passing game to preserve their weary legs. With only one spare, players were on and off the field frequently attempting to stay fresh. Tina Garrison put the Drillers in the lead with an amazing first goal. Lena Urqhart took a break from studying to help out her teammates, setting up Karen Zupp for the winner. The defensive line of Kulwinder Smith, Vel Beaumont, Bobbie Knopf and Tracey Hill were stellar, surrendering just four goals in five games. Said coach Janeece Miller: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each lady gave everything they had and more. They encouraged each other and played as a team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Goalkeeper Shawn Nickoli tucked, rolled, punched and leaped to save goals.â&#x20AC;? The Drillers started the tournament with a 4-0 win over Salmon Arm Kaos Friday night. Glenda Hatten opened up

Zupp had two goals, one assisted by Nancy Nickoli, who also scored a beautiful one-timer. Saturday morning, Nancy Nickoli pocketed a pair as the Drillers pounded North Okanagan United 5-0. Karen Zupp, Felicia Gorman and Garrison contributed singles. Assists went to Beaumont, Garrison and Shelley Zupp. A calm Kelly Megyesi kept the team in check. The Drillers bowed 3-2 a combined Salmon Arm Setters-Merlot squad Saturday afternoon. Garrison handled the
Goplen attack, both goals assisted by Gorman. Smith earned Game MVP. In the semis, Hatten crossed a spectacular ball from the far right to a rushing Shelley Zupp, who headed a World Cup-calibre goal. Garrison ripped the other goal for the Drillers, who welcomed Rhonda Underwood back from holidays, and utilized her fresh legs in the outside midfield position. The Drillers thanked Megyesi for refilling their water bottles with cold water, and husbands Darren Zupp and J.C. Colvin for running out to get the ladies ice, oranges, watermelon, salted peanuts and

More than 1,200 race fans braved scorching heat to take in Day 1 of the annual horse racing Sunday afternoon at Kin Racetrack.

water to keep them energized. Overall, the Chick Kickers went 3-1 at the tourney, opening with a 1-0 win over Tillicum Controllers in a hardfought battle Friday night at Marshall #1. The Kickersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goal was the result of a penalty kick awarded for a defender handball inside the 18-yard box, which Jen Sorochuk skillfully placed in the net. The Chick Kickers kept rolling in their second game, icing Monasheeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4-0. Sorochuk, who has been on a week-long scoring tear, recorded a hat-trick and assisted on the final goal scored by Kelly Challen. Dawn Tucker had another great game in net, earning her second straight shutout. In the second of back-toback games Sunday, the Chick Kickers, running on reserve energy, stopped Setters-Merlot 1-0. The Setters put together several determined drives for the net, but strong goaltending by Tucker, supported by a rock-steady defence, kept them from gaining any ground. The lone goal was scored on a penalty kick taken by Challen, after a handball in the Settersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 18. Teams had a great time at the tournament social in the VantageOne Soccer Centre, complete with a great barbecue dinner, and thanked event organizers, Beaumont for cooking all the burgers, and Wayne Aasen for his excellent bartending.

Ogopogos draw Pushor Mitchell crew Morning Star Staff
Ruben Cerventez handled Big O Tire Ogopogos’ offence as they settled for a 1-1 draw with Pushor Mitchell Advocates in Okanagan Oldtimers 45+ Soccer League play Monday night at Marshall Field #3. Cerventez placed a high drive from the 18 yard box as Big O enjoyed possession throughout the game. Fritz Bereny collected Pushor’s goal, beating Big O keeper Yogi Kongsdorf late in the first half. Big O again controlled play in the second half. Dave Hampton played strong on defence for, and forward Mark Wasylyk was his usual hardworking self. Okanagan Spring mounted a comeback attempt against North Country Appraisal Kickers, but fell short, losing 2-1 Monday at Marshall #1. The Kickers’ Greg Bevandick was pulled down in the 18 yard box, and Mike Francis deposited the penalty shot to open the scoring. Bevandick then scored a fabulous goal, beating three Spring defenders and netminder Mike Zuber as the Kickers took a 2-0 lead into the break. Doug Massie scored Spring’s lone goal on a 25-yard bullet. The brewery boys pressed the entire second half, their best scoring chance on a Denis Chabot blast from 15 yards out with 10 minutes left. Zuber made several key saves in net, including a pair of second-half breakaways. The Silver Stars weathered
a late storm to outlast Kelowna Cantina’s 2-1 at Mission Sports Fields. The Vernon squad opened the scoring early as Ken Rath tucked a low shot home after a series of one-touch passes in the Cantina’s penalty area. Cantina’s keeper Jim Denton made a number of good saves on the counter attack before Bill Graham knocked home the Stars’ second goal. Gerhard Dachwitz potted Kelowna’s goal on 40-yard free kick that sailed into the top of the Silver Star goal. The match between the Vernon Hi-Pro Camels and Penticton was postponed due to the forest fire near the highway by West Kelowna. In Okanagan Oldtimers 35+ Soccer League action, Salmon Arm upset Vernon Toyota 3-1 Monday night at Marshall #4. A very windy first half found Toyota down 1-0 as keeper Colin McDonnell was beaten with a point-blank shot he had no chance of saving. Early in the second half Dan Curtis came in as an attacking central defender and was rewarded when he converted on a 30-yard volley that rocketed into the bottom right corner.

Allen Morgan hand-pollinates the flowers for hybridizing at BX Creek Daylilies, which is donating 75 per cent of the proceeds from this weekend’s (and July 24/25) sale of four-year-old plants to the North Okanagan Hospice Society.
Daylilies bloom for Hospice CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
The daylilies are as beautiful and individual as each person and each day at the Hospice Society. Now people can buy a daylily and, if they want, name and register it in memory of a loved one before they plant it in their garden. It’s part of the BX Creek Daylilies annual seedling sale with 75 per cent of proceeds being donated to the Vernon and District Hospice Society. Each of the seedlings — seedling means simply a plant that has not been registered, these are four years old — is genetically unique. They are just coming into flower now with colours and markings including dark red to pink, peach, yellow and white. The plants are part of the hybridization program at BX Creek Daylilies, a demonstration garden for the American Hemerocallis Society (AHS). Allen and Gail Morgan started growing daylilies when they noticed that the plants were the only ones that bloomed consistently over the summer in their perennial garden. “We had all these seedlings and we did not want to do any more breeding with most of them but they are beautiful plants. I just couldn’t see them going into the compost and I thought that someone should take them and love them,” said Gail. The couple chose the Hospice Society to benefit because Allen’s father died in the Hospice House in Kamloops a couple of years ago. “I know that the hospice houses take good care of people and that really touched me,” said Allen. The couple pollinates the daylilies by
hand, keeps careful records (“you have to know who the daddy is, like breeding animals,” said Gail) and waits to see what the flowers will look like. Even two seeds from the same pod can produce totally different looking flowers. They keep the plants with the characteristics they like and divide the plants to get more exactly the same.
“I just couldn’t see them going into the compost and I thought that someone should take them and love them.” — Gail Morgan There’s a lot to like about daylilies. They prefer sun but can get by on four hours of sunlight a day, are tolerant of different soil types and drought and don’t need to be sprayed because bugs don’t like them. The foliage looks good when the plants are not in bloom and some flowers are fragrant. While each flower lasts for only a day, there are many blooms on each plant and with a variety of plants there can be blooms in the garden from midJune to September. The Morgans take good care of their daylilies. “I come out every morning in my nightgown with my camera to see what’s blooming,” said Gail. They both like blossom time. “This is my favourite time of year. We have some of the care homes bring residents for visits and they enjoy the
flowers so much. We have a sale every year and we’ve sold thousands of plants. I like it when people come back and tell me how the plants are doing because it helps us with our breeding program,” said Allen. The BX Creek Daylily Fundraiser will have 160 seedling for sale with prices starting at $10 for a one-gallon pot and $20 for a two-gallon pot. There is the option of naming and registering a daylily for an additional fee. The Morgans will help with the registration process. They are planning to name a daylily for Fred Lyall in recognition of his contributions to the Hospice House Garden. Gail explained that while people can give their daylily a “garden name” as an unregistered cultivar, which can be divided and given to friends and family as it multiplies, if they want to officially register it with the American Hemerocallis Society, it will take some time. “To register a daylily, you will have to observe it growing in the ground and record how the foliage dies back in the fall, then record the the height and bloom the next year after it is established in the ground and take a suitable photo to submit with the registration form. It is up to the AHS to decide whether the name is acceptable.” The BX Creek Daylily Hospice Fundraiser takes place July 17 and 18 and July 24 and 25 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 4617 Pleasant Valley Rd. (between Hunter’s Store and Butcher Boys). There is no parking on-site so please park on Pleasant Valley Road. Open by appointment other afternoons by calling 250309-0528.

I’ve done Ontario so then I’ll do the rest of it from Quebec to Newfoundland maybe next year,” said McGuinness, 55, who is taking his holidays from Brantford Municipal Works for the project. He’s riding a 27-speed Trek road bike. “I had a rough time but you do the best you can. I am getting good support from my wife, Shirley, who is following me with the vehicle, and the money we raise in each community will stay in that community.

Things haven’t been easy for Wayne McGuinness but he’s determined to help out as much as he can, wherever he can. The Brantford, Ont. resident passed through Vernon recently on his bike ride to raise awareness for mental health and had breakfast at the Canadian Mental Health Association office before setting out for Sicamous. He and his first wife raised a son who had learning disorders and mental illness, then he developed type2 diabetes and his wife died of cancer. He did a ride in Ontario in 2006 to raise funds for cancer research.

Let the judging begin Editor’s note: This week, Kim Tregaskis with the Communities in Bloom Committee fills in for Fred Lyall. ith just under two weeks before the Communities in Bloom judges arrive, the Vernon Communities in Bloom Committee has been busy preparing the final details of the judges’ visit including accommodations, meals and, most important, the tour itself. There are so many areas of our city that we are proud of, and we would like to show
W
them all to the judges; however, time is limited. The sites chosen must reflect our beautiful city as well as highlight the various categories that are part of the Communities in Bloom judging criteria. This year there are six categories: tidiness, environmental action, heritage conservation, urban forestry, landscape and floral displays.
Taking all of this into consideration, a route has been selected. The selected tour stops are as follows: Pleasant Valley Fred Lyall Cemetery, the water reservoir in the Silver Star Foothills, the Vernon Music School, City Hall Complex, Polson Park (with visits to the floral clock, Xerendipity Gardens, and the Vernon Community Arts Centre), the Vernon Water Reclamation
Centre, Marshall Fields, the Vernon Biosolids Composting Facility, Allan Brooks Nature Centre, Davison Orchards and, lastly, The West Vernon School Community Gardens. Although these are the formal stops, the judges will also see more of our city along the way, such as the planting in the 32nd Avenue roundabout, the beautiful floral baskets of our downtown streets, the North End median upgrades, and the well-maintained neighborhoods through
IN THE GARDEN
which they will be traveling. We would like to invite you to visit these sites for yourself. Communities in Bloom signs will be posted at each site on July 19, the day before the tour. The signs will be left in place for a few days to give you the opportunity to go have a look. The judges’ visit is the culmination of another year of hard work and we look forward to their visit on July 20.

Church gets a welcome invasion GREG SUMNER Special to The Morning Star
Every once in a while a person experiences something extraordinary in their life. A few weeks ago was one of those experiences. I was just about to complete the final point in my sermon when a group of approximately 200 people entered our church. They surrounded our sanctuary, mostly standing and some sitting. The pastors from Community Baptist Church and St. Johns Lutheran Church joined me on the platform and announced that they had come to bless our church this morning. They told us that after the service we were to join them for a barbecue that they had prepared for us, in the parking lot at the rear of our building. None of us heard or saw them come on to the property
Camp sets up Registration is now on for the Okanagan’s newest summer camp. Camp Arrowflight still has spaces left for this summer’s six-day/ five-night camps run by the Boys and Girls Club.

and do all this preparation. For once in my life I didn’t know what to say! Should I finish my sermon or just dismiss in prayer? I decided to finish and at a certain point in the message Pastor Rick Corak came to the front and asked if he could close the service. I’ve never been asked like this before for someone to step in, unannounced, if they could close the service. I thought, after all, I was at the end and all I needed was to conclude the message and make some closing applications. But God, in his creative ways, had brought these 200 folks to be a visual example of what I was trying to say. Pastor Rick said their presence at our service that day was the appli-
cation for my message. How fitting. I couldn’t have made the point any clearer myself. I had been preaching on unity in the Christian family and their visit was a visual application of what that really meant. What a beautiful ending to a wonderful Father’s Day Sunday. The place was packed with more than 450 people and we made many new friends that day, as we sat around tables eating and talking about what just took place. The Christian family of faith is often subdivided into different denominations, and congregations often don’t experience the level of unity that God intended for us to have. A little over two years ago Grace Bible
Church came into existence when two churches (Cornerstone Evangelical Free Church and the Mennonite Church of Vernon) merged into one church. That was a huge step of faith and has been a challenge…but a blessed one. This “Hug from the Lord” by these two churches was a tremendous encouragement for us as a blended family to stay the course in serving our community for the cause of Christ. Our entire congregation was totally blessed by this invasion of love and one that we will not soon forget. We plan to pay it forward in the future. After all, every church could use a hug once in a while. Greg Sumner is associate pastor at Grace Bible Church in Vernon.

Henry (Hank) Stephen Farynuk Henry passed away peacefully on July 7th, 2010 in Vernon, BC having succumbed to gastric (stomach) cancer. He was born in Abernethy, Saskatchewan in 1926. Nine years later his family moved to Enderby and he finished his Grade 12 at Armstrong High School in 1945. Upon graduation he enrolled in Normal School (Victoria, BC) to receive his teaching certificate. Many summer-school years later he completed his Bachelor of Education at UBC. His teaching career of 40 years started in the Christina Lake region, and in the early 50’s he moved to Vernon, taught at Bearisto Elementary and retired as an art teacher at Clarence Fulton in 1987. Hank was a great writer, artist, and a loving Dad/husband to his family. He met his love, Verna at the nurse’s residence and married her in 1956. Together they both celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Hank and Verna had 3 children, Michael, Bruce, Catherine and 1 grandchild, Scott. In the early years, Hank enjoyed playing softball and was a lifeguard at Kal Lake for the Vernon Army Cadet Camp. During his lifetime, he enjoyed the outdoors, spent his summers travelling, salmon fishing at Telegraph Cove and building a cabin on a mountain lake. One of his last working projects was a marina proposal seen on YouTube under his name. In his retirement years, Hank was compassionate about giving back to the community. He joined Kiwanis International and received a Certificate of Appreciation for his valuable service as Lt. Governor (Div.7) PNW in 2000. He was a dual member of Kiwanis Club of Kelowna-Summit and the Kiwanis Club of Lake Country. Much of his devotion to working on community projects benefited the young, ones in need, and the elderly. Hank was also a member of the Trinity Chancel Choir and his faith brought him comfort especially in the past few years. The family would like to thank Dr. Mandreck and the palliative care team for their support as Dad journeys into his spiritual life with his wife and son. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Baerg-McMurtry Cancer Center. A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Saturday, July 17th, 2010 at 1pm, at the Trinity United Church in Vernon, with Bob Thompson officiating. His resting place will be at the Coldstream Cemetery. Arrangements are in the care of the Vernon Funeral Home 250-542-0155.
