Fire sends neighbours scrambling ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Getting out of her car at her Herry Road home in the BX Tuesday afternoon, Fay Hutchinson heard crackling. Her next door neighbour, Greg Bannister, thought somebody was barbecuing with briquettes. Both neighbours quickly realized what they were smelling was smoke coming from shrubs on fire at a home across the way. “I could smell smoke and I spoke with the neighbour and we thought something was wrong,” said Hutchinson. “I just started yelling, ‘help, help, help,’ and ran inside and called 911.” Bannister, newly arrived in Vernon for just two weeks with his family from Cloverdale, and his neighbour across the street, Dwayne Remple, saw shrubs on the western side of the Herry Road home consumed in fire. Bannister strung three hoses together and Remple, who was on his cell phone trying to find someone to pick up his kids from day camp, brought his over, and the pair started to water down the cedar shrubs until the BX-Swan Lake volunteer firefighters arrived on scene. “We got to the driveway and just started throwing water on the bushes, doing what we could,” said Bannister. “The smoke was getting pretty thick. Somebody loaned me a wet T-shirt to put over my face so I could keep going at it. “We didn’t get a lot of bush fires in Cloverdale.” Remple said things could have been a lot worse as a slight wind was blowing at the time. “It was blowing from across the lake

BX-Swan Lake firefighters arrived quickly at the home, in the 6800 block of Herry Road, and contained the blaze to the shrubs. “These things go up like gasoline,” said incident commander Kevin McKay of the
dozen or so shrubs torched by the fire. “When we got here there was a lot of thick smoke and some minor flame.” McKay said the blaze was still under investigation, but firefighters were looking at a couple of burn barrels located in front of a garage at the home as a possible source
of the fire. The garage was a wooden structure and both it and the log home had cedar shake roofs. “Things could have been a lot worse if a spark or two got onto those shakes,” said McKay.
Vernon blocks Alberta from using slogan RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The City of Vernon has successfully won a battle in the high-stakes world of tourism marketing. Alberta recently agreed it would not use the tagline “Make it Yours” in tourism promotions because Vernon has the phrase trademarked. “Alberta was sorry to lose it but they understand that we got there first,” said Michelle Jefferson, tourism manager. “No one in Canada can use that
“We think it’s a strong tagline and obviously so did they.” — Michelle Jefferson phrase for tourism.” Jefferson first became aware of the infringement on the trademark when she heard an Alberta advertisement on local radio. From there, the city’s lawyer got involved
and Alberta was issued a cease and desist order. Ultimately, someone from Tourism Alberta apologized. Jefferson says the copyright matter had to be addressed because two
jurisdictions using the same slogan could create consumer confusion, but she believes that Alberta’s use of the phrase was also flattering. “We think it’s a strong tagline and obviously so did they.” She is also pleased discussions were amicable because an escalation of the dispute could have created problems for Vernon. “Alberta is one of our biggest markets so we didn’t want to alienate them by doing something like suing them,” she said. A U.S. state has used “Make It

Yours” before, but Jefferson says it has been abandoned and because the city’s copyright only applies to Canada, there is nothing stopping a jurisdiction in the U.S. or from around the world from adding it to marketing plans. Vernon adopted the slogan in January, and Jefferson believes it has been highly successful. “It really helps us position the community for all of its attributes and it provides an invitation for greater (consumer) awareness about the community,” she said.

News Destructive blaze fuels call for action ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
One North Okanagan mayor wants the creation of a mutual aid agreement in regards to fire coverage with the Okanagan Indian Band. Spallumcheen’s Will Hansma is calling for mutual aid in the wake of Friday’s fire at the Coyote Crossing Villas Mobile Home Park, in which four mobile homes were destroyed by fire. The park is located on Westside Road in Okanagan Indian Band territory, but Hansma authorized for the ArmstrongSpallumcheen Fire Department to send one truck and 13 volunteer firefighters to battle the blaze. “We are thankful that there were no reported injuries to the residents of the mobile home park and thankful that our firefighters were able to assist the Okanagan Indian Band fire department in protecting the lives of these citizens and to minimize any further spread of the fire,� said Hansma. “However, this situation emphasizes the need for a mutual aid agreement to be in place to assist our First Nations neighbours when called upon.� Armstrong-Spallumcheen’s fire department, said Hansma, will always respond to help neighbours, and because there was concern that Friday’s fire could spread to the Spallumcheen boundary. However, at no time, said the mayor, was the township or City of Armstrong in danger of being short on resources in case a fire broke out in their communities on Friday. There were still 30 volunteer firefighters and four trucks available.

Four residences were destroyed by fire Friday at the Coyote Crossing Villas Mobile Home Park. Alexis, who is discussing the matter with his council. Alexis has also been on the phone to the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) to discuss funding for 911 land line service for the band territory. Part of the problem Friday was that residents of the park calling 911 from their land lines were calling a service the band doesn’t have, and the band fire department’s one multi-use phone line was jammed with
“There are definitely liability concerns when our fire department responds to calls on lands where there is no fire protection agreement and no mutual aid agreement in place,� said Hansma, whose desire for mutual aid is echoed by Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper, and Okanagan Indian Band Chief Fabian Alexis. “I am open to what Mayor Hansma is saying and I thank him for making the call to have his fire department respond,� said
calls. Residents were upset it took band volunteers a reported 25 minutes to respond to the blaze. Alexis said it will cost the band $21,000 for 911 service, which would include doing house addresses for all homes on band land. “Not all of the residences have house numbers and we can’t just go on their properties and put up a post with numbers,� said Alexis. “They have to be willing to comply with that and the majority of the reserve does have that. Addressing will help with fire protection as well as ambulance and RCMP response. “We’re under-resourced in the money we get from INAC. It’s really tough to manage our fire department as well.� A call to INAC was not returned prior to The Morning Star’s press deadline. Statistics from the operation command centre, which handles 911 calls in the Okanagan, show the first call regarding Friday’s fire came in as a 911 call at 3 p.m. A total of 64 calls, predominantly from cell phones, went to the command centre in Kelowna, and 59 of those calls were answered between 3 and 3:35 p.m. There were 27 calls transferred to the Vernon Fire Dispatch centre, 17 of those within the first 10 minutes of the fire. The remaining 32 calls were checked out and found to be relating to the fire call. Five 911 calls were abandoned, three from cell phones and two from land lines including one from a residence at the park. Police made contact with all of the abandoned calls.

Downtown assault leads to six months in jail Morning Star Staff
Crown counsel could prove he was involved in a beating, but couldn’t prove he stabbed the victim. Justin Alexander Altunin, 23, was sentenced in Vernon Provincial Court to six months in jail for his part in a downtown stabbing incident in May 2009. Judge Ellen Burdett gave Altunin credit for 41 days in custody
already served, so he was sentenced to four months and 19 days of new jail time for his part in the incident. Altunin pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in connection with the stabbing of a Nanoose Bay man in an alley in the vicinity of 30th Avenue and 31st Street in May 2009. Two men had left a local drinking establishment in the early morning hours, and began
talking with a woman in the alley. One man got angry over the conversation with the woman, and that man and several other men chased and attacked two male victims. The 22-year-old man from Nanoose Bay suffered several nonlife-threatening stab wounds, while a man from Vernon, also 22, suffered scrapes and bruises. Because Crown
could not prove Altunin did the stabbing, two counts of assault with a weapon and one count of assault with a weapon causing bodily harm were stayed, as was a charge of armed robbery. Two men were also accused with Altunin. One has passed away since the incident, the other remains on the lam. Altunin also pleaded guilty to a charge of
possessing a weapon dangerous to the public peace in connection with an incident in March of 2010 in South

Altunin was also given a 10-year firearms prohibition on the aggravated assault charge.

Charges possible in boat incident A bizarre accident at Kin Beach July 17 in which a six-year-old was struck by the propeller of an inflatable motorized boat remains under RCMP investigation. The incident occurred at around 5 p.m. in the swimming area of the beach. “A 54-year-old woman from Vernon was operating the boat off the shore of the swimming area when she struck a six-year-old child who received cuts to her right leg and hand from the propeller,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. The child’s parents deemed the cuts to be minor and did not take the child to hospital for treatment. Molendyk said there are some indications the prop became entangled with the child’s bathing suit, and that the child’s hand was cut trying to break free from the propeller. The woman was operating her craft in what police describe as no more than 36 inches of water, and approximately 20 feet from the shore. Of concern to the police is the woman driving away from the scene after being told she had struck a child. “We have spoken with the woman, she has admitted fault and she stated she was unfamiliar with the vessel and did not know how to use the controls properly,” said Molendyk. No charges have been laid as of yet, but Molendyk said the investigation is continuing, and that crimi-

Costs force investigation of police service RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Skyrocketing policing costs could force Vernon to go it alone. Council has endorsed a study looking into the cost of the current regional detachment model compared to having a municipal force only. “The RCMP do an excellent job but the problem we have is with integrated detachments,” said Mayor Wayne Lippert. While the city provides the building for the detachment, it houses resources for the entire North Okanagan, and Lippert says the contract between the

points out that other municipalities have their own police forces. “Some of them are smaller than Vernon like Oak Bay or similar size like Port Moody,” he said. Coun. Bob Spiers has some apprehension about the study. “To suggest we’d replace the RCMP with a municipal force goes against the grain with me. Why do we have to reinvent the wheel?” he said. Vernon is also joining Kelowna, West Kelowna and Penticton in calling on Victoria to consult with local government prior to adjusting policing costs.
The mayors of the four cities have agreed policing expenses should not come as a
surprise to municipal governments and a more cooperative approach would eliminate sud-
den charges in future and fit in better with municipalities’ budget planning processes.

A 23-year-old Korean student is fighting for his life in Vancouver hospital after nearly drowning in Kalamalka Lake Friday. Emergency services personnel were called to Kal Beach at around 7 p.m. “A group of international students were at the beach to play beach volleyball when one of the students decided to go swimming before the game,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord
Molendyk. “One of the students, a male, had some difficulty and started calling for help, but there is some indication from bystanders that they may not have recognized it as a call for help because of the language barrier.” Once people realized what was happening, several bystanders jumped into the water to assist the student, who had been swimming at the south end of the pier.

City bylaw officers apprehend suspect ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
City of Vernon bylaw officers happened to be in the right place at the right time Saturday to arrest a would-be thief who tried to make off with a pair of 30-can cases of beer from Toro’s Pub. The officers had just finished making their rounds of parks, and were travelling on Kalamalka Lake Road when they noticed a woman chasing a man. “Bylaws saw the individual running down the road being chased by a woman, who
flagged down the officers and chatted with them briefly,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “The bylaws officers turned their vehicle around and followed after the suspect.” The man ran into the bush and tried to jump the fence at the Vernon Golf and Country Club. He allegedly dropped the two cases of beer just prior to being apprehended by the bylaw officers, who held the suspect until police arrived. “The bylaw officers in Vernon
are a great complement to the police in many aspects,” said Molendyk. “They monitor the police radio, and they have been a great assistance to police.” As peace officers, the bylaws officials are able to apprehend suspects. The man in this case is facing charges of theft under $5,000, obstruction and a breach of his bail condition. According to the police, he was also wanted on an outstanding warrant.

On the right track
P
oliticians are often accused of trying to dodge responsibility or not thinking outside the box. But there are times when the stereotypes fall by the wayside. And a good example of that is the decision by Vernon and Coldstream councils, as well as BX-Swan Lake director Mike Gavinchuk, to fund Teen Junction through Greater Vernon’s parks, recreation and culture function. It would have been easy for these jurisdictions to say that social issues are a provincial mandate, and they shouldn’t pick up the slack after Victoria cut its own grants. Coldstream and BX-Swan Lake officials could have also made the case that the bulk of the at-risk youth using Teen Junction likely come from the more urban city so the use of their tax dollars would be inappropriate. But the reality is troubled teens live any Richard Rolke where, and not everyone in Coldstream or the BX has Ozzie and Harriet for parents. Left on their own, some youth will turn to crime and those activities could lead them across jurisdictional boundaries. That fact isn’t lost on Bill Firman, a Coldstream councillor and criminal lawyer. “These kids need help and the sooner they get off the street, the better,” he said, adding that what they need are skills to help them become a contributing part of society. “Punishment is not a deterrent, assistance is the deterrent.” During a recent interview, Vernon Mayor Wayne Lippert also pushed for a proactive response to youth at risk. “We tend to spend more when youth get into trouble with the justice system,” he said. Yes taking on Teen Junction could cost $75,000 annually for expanded services or $66,000 for the status quo, but what is the price of putting even one kid on the straight and narrow?

“They have turned around lives for people,” said Patrick Nicol, a Vernon councillor, of Teen Junction, which provides recreational opportunities, basic life skills, meals and educational support. BX-Silver Star director Mike Macnabb believes Teen Junction does good work, but he is still sitting on the sidelines. He has not agreed to extending function status to Teen Junction, and instead suggests he may provide a discretionary grant. That means that instead of a guaranteed contribution, funding may or may not happen. Macnabb says he needs some flexibility because other services, such as water, could put the pinch on his residents. Budgeting is always a balancing act, but what makes BX-Silver Star different from its neighbouring jurisdictions? They have made a commitment to Teen Junction, knowing full well that costs in other services will increase because nothing ever goes down. Macnabb also says Teen Junction benefits other communities in the North Okanagan and they should cough up some cash. That may be true, but if you truly believe in something, stand up and be counted regardless of what others are doing. It should also be pointed out that Macnabb is concerned that Greater Vernon could subsidize other adjacent communities. But if his area doesn’t provide money, that will exactly be the scenario every time a youth from BX-Silver Star walks through the door at Teen Junction. The other problem is that unless Macnabb agrees to Teen Junction being added to the parks and recreation function, any funding from the other three jurisdictions could be scuttled because unanimous consent is required to change a function. Ultimately, Vernon, Coldstream and BX-Swan Lake may have to go it alone, but it would be nice if there was a full endorsement of the work Teen Junction does. Many of these youth have victimized by parents, drug dealers and the “system,” and bureaucratic games don’t need to be added to the list.
Although it’s likely frustrating for those campers who were planning on roasting some marshmallows and making smores this coming long weekend, the province-wide campfire ban that begins Thursday at noon shouldn’t come as a surprise to too many residents. It’s been very hot lately. And dry. A combination that spells potential trouble in our forests as we enter the busiest camping weekend of the year. Although a wet, cool June helped alleviate our water concerns and has us in a favourable situation with our forest fire costs, so far, it’s likely a campfire ban is in order to combat the high to extreme fire rating in our forests. Some might say officials are too quick to douse our fun in the forests in order to be seen as politically expedient, and that debate will likely rage around the make-believe campfires this weekend, but the government has some ammunition on its side that is indisputable. You see, 65 per cent of forest fires so far this year have been human-caused, compared to only 40 per cent last year. That’s unacceptable and gives good cause to the “better safe than sorry” argument that led to this weekend’s fire ban. Therefore fingerpointing and debating aside, the campfire ban is a reality and will be enforced beginning this long weekend. The fine, by the way, for unauthorized campfires is $345. And up to a $1 million fine or three years in prison for causing a wildfire. So respect the rules, the outdoors and each other as we all try to enjoy the long weekend in a manner safe for us and the environment.

NORD put in spotlight
I
t was sad to read that NORD turned down supporting a second bus from the Kalamalka campus of Okanagan College to UBCO and the airport despite the obvious need. I am glad that Vernon stepped up and decided to underwrite the necessary bus subsidy on its own. Why support was not forthcoming from Coldstream and Areas B and C completely baffles me. Surely they too have live-at-home students attending UBCO and travelers interested in accessing the airport via bus. Perhaps the time has come to take a hard look at the viability of NORD and its worth to local taxpayers. The compensation of politicians reported recently shows heavy five-figure double dipping by both Vernon and Coldstream representatives at NORD. We taxpayers pay for this double dipping from a single pocket but service on NORD is an integral part of a Vernon and Coldstream politician’s job and taxpayers should not be billed for it twice. Surely it is excessive to pay each of these reps from $10,500 to almost $15,000 extra to represent Vernon and Coldstream at NORD. I was amazed to read that the head staff honcho at NORD is paid more than Vernon’s head guy. NORD embraces a huge area but the vast bulk of the population is in Vernon
and there is far less complexity in the NORD job. There are lots of other $75,000 and up jobs at NORD too. Do the citizens of Vernon and Coldstream really need them? Does it not make sense for NORD to just deal with the rural/village areas where there is more commonality than exists with urban centres? Both Vernon and Coldstream have issues with NORD over parks, especially the creation and maintenance of tot lots, small urban green spaces and play areas in city neighbourhoods. The rural NORD directors think these are just urban fripperies that are expensive to keep up so they refuse to have NORD fund them. Likewise, some of them opt out of funding for historic sites such as the O’Keefe Ranch and leave the cities to bear the brunt of the cost. Vernon got so frustrated at NORD lack of action regarding Polson Park
SPENDING BIGGER PROBLEM While reading the opinion piece "Wave the flag for our birthday" on the editorial page I was struck by the curious order of two particular paragraphs. The following statement - "In a country that boasts "peace, order and good government", it offends our sensibilities." - should have preceded, not followed, this statement: ".......an event that was preceded by an astronomical security buildup at a huge cost to the taxpayers." Although I appreciate why the writer voiced their opinion, the $1,000,000,000.00 hit to ordinary Canadians is, by far, a larger affront than the antics of a few protesters that, with the complicity of the media, we now know way too much about. Mark Levey SCHOOL CHEERS Another day, another lunch made.. time to take the kids to school. The calendar on this day says June, the weather seems to indicate November, with grey skies and rain. I creep the car into the school parking
and its long ago burnt down grandstand that it finally took matters into its own hands and forced a confrontation that led to something being done… a ‘something’ that will dig deeper into the pockets of Vernon taxpayers than it should and something that should have happened years ago if the NORD parks and recreation was not so dysfunctional. Remember the sports complex fiasco that NORD initiated in Coldstream then washed their hands of once a controversy started? NORD parks and recreation stepped back to observe the fireworks from the sidelines saying it was up to the locals to decide despite NORD being the initiator and largely responsible for the whole mess by doing such a poor planning and presentation job in the first place. At present, Vernon and NORD are at war over water. Legal action
lot and over the din of the wiper blades try to encourage my kids that “today is going to be a GREAT day.” They look at me suspiciously only for a moment, as their attention quickly moves to the sidewalk, where a well-liked teacher is literally singing in the rain with dapper rain boots and matching brelly. Ms. Fraser is “on-duty” to ensure that all students have a safe, and welcoming, arrival at school this day. What a great way to start the day! Can you imagine if your boss was outside your office door welcoming you to work each day? She cares about the students, and it shows. As we move through the crowds past the office I notice a group of intermediate boys concerned about a broken yo-yo. Mr. Stacey ushers them out of the office and into the hallway where he assures them “I can fix that.” The boys look relieved and wait anxiously as the “fix” occurs. Mr. Stacey is educational assistant and a fixture in our school. He cares about the students and it shows. En route to the classrooms I notice a young boy in tears. I overhear his complaint involves
has been initiated by Vernon to get out of what it sees as NORD-created extra costs on the management of the water distribution system in the city. NORD has spent millions getting Duteau Creek water, water that was never originally intended for human consumption, to look better, taste better and get rid, hopefully, of the ongoing boil water advisories. Next they will come looking to dig deeper into taxpayer pockets to spend more to raise the dams, build better weirs, etc. to get some more quantity into the Duteau system. Virtually none of the mega bucks spent to date have added to our water supply. Time to change gurus from my way of thinking or at least get the NORD fuddle duddlers out of the picture. All things considered, it seems prudent to put NORD under a microscope and see what makes sense from a taxpayer point of view. Cherry picking opting out or collective vetoing by the various rural NORD entities is too expensive for the city taxpayers of Vernon and Coldstream to continue to tolerate. The rural-urban differing viewpoints have degenerated into an unacceptable waste of taxpayer dollars for all concerned. NORD costs too much, does too little and is too animosity prone. Jim Bodkin
a problem with his shoes (I think he didn’t like the shoes he was wearing). Mrs. Siegmueller, school principal, with obvious responsibility and tasks for the day, takes a moment to find a solution to this young boy's tears. She cares about the students and it shows. The stories of compassion and care are as numerous as the students at Mission Hill elementary. Each day we parents creep into the parking lot and drop our children at their door. Sometimes the students we leave are broken, sad and afraid. Some are hungry and cold. The staff approaches each student with respect and compassion hoping to build functional, responsible, caring adults and in the interim create an amazing community. Great education is more than just math, reading, science and history – it’s about showing each student their value and potential. They can cut our budget, but they can’t still the spirit. Please join me in a hearty hip, hip hooray for the staff at Mission Hill. Melanie Reihardt
RECYCLING RETURNS Several weeks ago I wrote a letter to The Morning Star because we at Lakepointe had our recycling stopped. I am happy to say that through the efforts of a good neighbor, Clive Diller and Aldon Waste Systems Ltd., our re-cycling has been restored. I would like to personally thank Clive and Aldon for working out the details on our behalf. B. Hanchar

Organizers of the Vernon Cup and supporters of Kin Race Track believe they have done what they can to show the passion that exists for horse racing in Vernon. A crowd of almost 2,000 people came to the 117th running of the Vernon Cup on Sunday. Kin Race Track Association president Ed Woolley said that’s an increase of about 25 per cent from the other two race days this year. “We expected a big crowd in advance because it might be potentially the last day (of racing in Vernon ever),� said Woolley. “I’m hoping it wasn’t a historic day, I’m hoping it’s just another day of racing.� The City of Vernon and the North Okanagan Regional District are exploring plans to redevelop the site for other recreational uses. Woolley holds out hope that racing can maintain its foothold and perhaps even grow in the future but notes funding would need to come from somewhere to do that.

“We were at capacity. If that doesn’t send a message, then I don’t know what does.� He says good attendance on Sunday was about the best way to illustrate there is still a local interest in horse racing. “I think as far as the day is concerned, it’s as strong a message as we could send with the grandstands full and people three and four deep at the rails around the track,� said Woolley. “We were at capacity. If that doesn’t send a message, then I don’t know what does.� Woolley encourages supporters to write to elected officials if they would like to see the tradition continue at Kin Race Track. Sunday was also a success financially for the track with nearly $30,000 being bet.

Patrols hit the water ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Revellers on Shuswap and Mara lakes may notice an increased enforcement presence this August long weekend. And they may not. The Integrated Shuswap Enforcement Unit, which is made up of officials from the RCMP, conservation officers services, department of fisheries and oceans and B.C. Parks will, for the first-time ever, have a 24-hour enforcement on the lakes this weekend. “We will have eight patrol vessels rotated on shift patterns throughout the Shuswap Lake Water Basin, which includes Mara Lake,� explained North Okanagan conservation officer Josh Lockwood, a member of the integrated enforcement unit. “Those eight vessels will be well marked. We will also have vessels on the lake that I will not disclose. They will be used by plain-clothes personnel for covert operations to deal with some of the more evasive violators.� The unit will be on the water from 2 p.m. Friday to 2 p.m. Monday, the busiest weekend of the year on Shuswap and Mara Lakes, and there will also be a 24-hour policing office manned at Cinnemousun Narrows, the centre of the four Arms – North, Seymour, Anestey and Canoe Reach – on Shuswap Lake. Shuswap houseboat companies have posted notices regarding the most common violations on the lake on all of their houseboats, so everybody on a houseboat will have the information. The unit will also be looking for improperly registered boats, checking for operator licences, life jackets and people operating personal watercraft under the prohibited age of 16. They will also be actively pursuing impaired operators of motor vessels.
“Those eight vessels will be well marked.� — Josh Lockwood “Our enforcement vessel will have a certified breathalyzer operator on board and a data master machine,� said Lockwood. “Officers in the boat will have access to an alcohol roadside screening device to put together an investigation for the impaired operation of a motor vessel. “The purpose of our enforcement this weekend is public safety. We are not there to spoil your weekend. Nothing will spoil your weekend faster than having a loved one injured or drown.� Tickets for offenders can range from $115 to $500 while the
improper registration of a boat brings a fine of $287.50. “What we’re seeing is that a number of boats have been purchased in the U.S. then brought across the border through Canadian Border Services. The documentation that’s done for there is for taxes,� said Lockwood. “Those boats need to be re-registered with the Canadian registry. People are handing off California, Nevada and Oregon registry which is not acceptable. “Boats from outside Canada need to be reregistered at the Access Centre or online,� said Lockwood.
In the recent weeks and months there have been several incidents, fatalities and drownings in Okanagan lakes, including a July long weekend accident involving a houseboat and speedboat that killed a Shuswap resident. Lockwood said planning for the August long weekend has been in the works for sometime, even prior to the Shuswap accident. At the end of May, compliance checks for such things as fishing licences and life jackets were conducted on Mabel Lake. Lockwood said 26 boats were checked and all 26 were in non-compliance. Locally, area RCMP will be patrolling Mabel and Okanagan Lakes, as well as the Shuswap River, to make sure everyone has a safe August long weekend.

News HONOURING A LEGEND
NATALIA VIGNOLA/MORNING STAR
Thup Sammartino shows Larry Kwong a pin he gave to her when they were friends back in his hockey days. Kwong, who was honoured at a reception at the Vernon Museum Saturday, made history in 1948 when he became the first Asian-Canadian to play in the National Hockey League. The New York Rangers suited him up for a game in Montreal against Rocket Richard and the Canadiens at the old Forum.

Employees are back to work at a North Okanagan company. Activity resumed at Tolko Industries’ Armstrong plywood operation earlier this week, bringing an almost month-old curtailment to an end. “We’ve been able to focus on speciality products,” said Pat Donnelly, site manager, of the conditions that have allowed the operation to reopen. “We’ve been able to move out some of our inventory and we’re replacing product.” On July 5, a one-week closure was initiated because of poor market conditions, particularly in the U.S., and a significant inventory of plywood sitting in the yard. That curtailment was extended even further

July 12. While some workers are on holidays, most of the 140 affected employees are back on the job this week. However, it’s unknown how long production will continue. “We’re operating on a week-to-week basis,” said Donnelly. “We’re watching the market and we’re watching inventories. Things are still pretty soft out there.” Vernon-based Tolko Industries is a private company with more than 3,500 employees in Western Canada, including in Armstrong, Lavington and Lumby. It’s a producer and marketer of lumber, veneer, plywood, oriented strand board, and kraft papers, with manufacturing operations.

Public safety funds benefit communities Morning Star Staff
Public safety and other important municipal services will be getting a boost thanks to $38.6 million that the province is providing to 188 of B.C.’s local governments in the latest installment of the Strategic Community Investment Fund. The Strategic Community Investment Fund is a restructuring of provincial grants, consisting of the Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing program and Small Community and Regional District grants. “Communities have shown real leadership in the way they use Strategic Community Investment funds during these tough economic times,” said community and rural development minister Ben Stewart. The City of Vernon will receive $215,865 from traffic fine revenue sharing. District of Coldstream will pick up a total of
$131,971, with $106,894 coming from the small community grant, the rest from traffic fine revenue sharing. City of Armstrong will receive $143,701 from the small community grant while the Township of Spallumcheen collects $142,433 from the same grant program. The City of Enderby receives $126,037 and the Village of Lumby will receive $104,705 from small community grants. District of Lake Country will get $130,329 from both programs, including $100,193 from the small community grant. According to a press release from the ministry of community and rural development, this year’s funding will be used for more police officers, new police equipment such as imaging cameras, identification equipment and police vehicles, and a

Loverboy turned loose in Vernon JESSICA SCHWITEK Morning Star Staff
Loverboy fans are working for the long weekend when the iconic Canadian band takes the stage at the Vernon MotoPlex Speedway and Event Park Friday. It was 1980 when the band first broke with their self-titled debut album, featuring the smash-hit Turn Me Loose. And the guys haven’t slowed down much since then. “We do an average of 60, 70, sometimes 80 shows a year,” said Paul Dean, Loverboy’s lead guitarist. “We’ll work pretty much every day but Christmas.” Driven by the powerful vocals of Mike Reno, the boys of Loverboy, including Dean, bassist Ken “Spider” Sinnaeve, keyboardist Doug Johnson and drummer Matt Frenette, have garnered four multi-platinum albums, numerous international gold albums, and a host of Juno awards. They have sold out arenas all over the world, and have toured with the likes of Journey, Bob Seger and ZZ Top. They thrilled audiences with their high-energy show, complete with their trademark red leather pants and bandannas. “Nothing’s really changed,” said Dean of their live show, even though it has been 30 years since they first started touring. “We still try to have fun, and to stay healthy. We just try to give

Iconic Canadian rock band Loverboy will be playing at the MotoPlex Speedway and Event Park on Friday. They will hit the stage after The Fab Fourever, a Beatle’s tribute band, opens for them at 6 p.m. a good show.” All the members of the band have their own projects on the go all over Canada, but they keep coming back together to put on that show. “When we go on stage, it’s like walking into a bubble. The hard part is stepping out of the bubble,
and back into our real lives.” Dean says that every show they play feels different, and there are a few in particular that have stood out over the years. “We played a show in Munich in ‘84 or’83, it was at this indoor bicycle track. They were all chanting ‘Loverboy,’ and there
was an intensity in the crowd that I hadn’t seen before, or since really.” Over the past three decades, Loverboy has conquered more than just live shows and the radio airwaves. Their music has been featured on more soundtracks, TV shows and commercials than
they can count. “Zoolander was crazy, I couldn’t believe that,” said Dean. The Loverboy track Workin for the Weekend was used for Ben Stiller’s 2001 comedy. The same song was also featured in the classic Saturday Night Live sketch where Chris Farley and Patrick Swayze were auditioning for the Chippendales. But the epitome, says Dean, was when Will Ferrell went on Late Night with Conan O’Brien and did an impression of Robert Goulet singing a Loverboy song. “It’s really flattering to see people using your music like that,” said Dean. “Even just the other day, my son told me that my song was on one of the video games he was playing.” Dean feels the same way when younger bands cover one of Loverboy’s classic hits. “I love it when musicians tell us they play our stuff. And everyone plays the guitar parts a little different, it’s cool.” But locals are getting the chance to see the real thing. The show starts at 6 p.m. Tickets to see Loverboy, along with their opening band The Fab Fourever, a Beatle’s tribute band, are $35 for general admission. There are also 210 reserved seats available for $59.99 and VIP tickets for $79.99. Tickets can be purchased at www.ticketweb.ca, or at the MotoPlex.

TV series takes over stage Morning Star Staff
Have you Had it Long, Madam? (Tales from The Roadshow) is a unique stage show about BBC TV’s highly successful and long-running series, the Antiques Roadshow, presented by two of its most popular experts, Hilary Kay and Paul Atterbury, at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Aug. 7. Kay and Atterbury take theatre audiences on an irreverent, but affectionate, tour through life on the filming circuit. As the Roadshow enjoys its 32nd season, they are ready to spill the beans on this much loved, TV favourite. “When you see a finished programme, it is like an iceberg. Much more goes on under the surface then above,” said Kay. “Paul and I will be shining a light on what lies beneath.” Tales from The Roadshow offers an insider’s view of what happens to bring the Roadshow to the screen. “When we arrive at a location to film, there’s a wonderful atmosphere of anticipation”, said Kay. “The experts get as excited as the general public at the thought of making that special discovery. Between us, we will see perhaps ten thousand items in a day and everyone is searching for the 30 or so notable objects that will eventually be filmed.” Tales from The Roadshow allows its hosts the perfect opportunity to share with theatre audiences what they enjoy doing most, and to present some of their favourite stories and most memorable experiences from working on both sides of the TV cameras, including priceless film clips –– some definitely unsuitable for broadcasting. “We shall be exposing some of the experts’ hilarious exploits and also revealing who has bro-

Tales from the Roadshow was created by Kay and Atterbury and has played to packed houses in Australia, New Zealand, around Britain and now Canadian audiences have an opportunity to join in the fun. Tickets for Tales from the Roadshow are $39.75, available at the Ticket Seller, 549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca. The show starts at 7:30 p.m.

Mike Ruscheinsky’s
Bridge by Phillip Alder The most important call for handling a pre-emptive overcall is responder’s negative double. The double’s primary job is to try to find a fit in an unbid major. But as we will see tomorrow, at a high level the negative double is less well-defined. First, though, here is a textbook example. After South opens one club and West makes a twoheart weak jump overcall, North doubles, negative. This shows four spades and usually nine-plus points. Over East’s defensive raise to three hearts, South competes with three spades, and North raises aggressively to four spades. West leads the heart king. How should South plan the play? Did West have a more
effective opening salvo? The defenders are threatening to take two spades, one heart and one club. Declarer cannot avoid the black-suit losers, so takes the first trick, cashes his diamond ace, overtakes the diamond queen with dummy’s king, and discards his heart loser on the diamond jack. What must he do next? It would be easy to make the mistake of leading a trump. However, here, East could win with his king and lead his last diamond. South would have to ruff (West throws a club) and play another trump, but East would win and return a trump to dummy. Since South is now out of trumps, East would get the club ace,
and West his heart queen. To avoid this, South must ruff dummy’s heart nine before leading a trump. Then, when East returns that diamond, South can ruff and play another trump. Everything is under control. West defeats four spades by leading a club, which gains him a club ruff.

News Dragoons celebrate 2011 centennial with mural challenge JENNIFER SMITH Black Press
It’s an extraordinary challenge but one the Okanagan Military Museum, the British Columbia Dragoons and the Whizbang Veterans Association believe someone can meet. By the end of next month, members of the three organizations are hoping to have at least a handful of Okanagan artists interested in painting a mural on the wall of Memorial Arena in Kelowna to celebrate the Dragoon’s centennial in 2011. The project has a yearlong timeline, but a 100-year history behind it. “What we’re looking for is a legacy project for the B.C. Dragoons centennial that will leave a lasting memorial for the community of the centennial,” said Paul Seguna, mural committee member and Vernonbased museum director. At one point the Dragoons rode horseback, between the wars they were on motorcycles and they’ve also been in tanks. And the history of the missions they’ve covered off is truly remarkable. Chairman of the committee Ed Dickins, who is himself a Whizbang, said he thinks the mural might be a good place to showcase the Dragoon’s work in the Kelowna fires of 2003, for example, or the two sister city relationships. Here in Kelowna, many will know how Canadian troops freed Veendam, but up in Vernon there is a stronger relationship with another European city — Tavullia, Italy. During the Second World War, the B.C. Dragoons were on the east coast of Italy involved in a major engagement. There was a series of German defensive lines set up to try and hold the Germans back from the boot of Italy. Dragoons defeated the Germans when they broke the Gothic line — a huge feat commemorated locally. As for the mural project, the committee members are asking the
creative community to, well, get creative. “I personally don’t want to see a whole bunch of faces of com-
manding officers,” said Dickins. “We want to depict the horses in World War I, the Victoria Cross won in World
Ward II. We have BCDs over in Afghanistan today…,” he said. “But this is my vision of it. We have to see
what the artist comes up with.” The final winner will be announced at a celebration of the Gothic
Line battle held annually on Sept. 18. The call for artists’ submissions description can be found on
the Kelowna Museum’s home page at www.kelownamuseums.ca,under current and upcoming events.

Shamrocks raid Rattlers in Game 1 Morning Star Staff
An night of contrasts is the best way to describe the Game 1 of the Shaw Cup final between the Armstrong Shamrocks and Kamloops Rattlers Monday night in front of another packed house at the Nor-Val Sports Centre in Armstrong. On a night that was possibly the last home game ever for Shamrocks legendary weekend warrior Pat Nelson, the 40-something played like a mentor in front of the newest up-andcoming lacrosse star in Logan Strohm. Both players were exceptional as the Shamrocks stopped the Rattlers 7-5. Game 2 in the best-of-three Okanagan X-treme Lacrosse League series goes tonight in Kamloops. A third game would go Friday night in Armstrong. The game started with Commissioner Garnet States presenting the Shamrock captains with the Rowcliffe Cup, a trophy donated by the Rowcliffe Cannery of Kelowna back in 1924, to the regular-season pennant winners. The Shamrocks showed why they deserved the hardware, starting the game by absolutely peppering the Rattlers with skill, speed and aggressive defence. Rattlers' goaltender Mike Smith was barraged with shots as the Shamrock forwards mounted a full on assault, but it was the Rattlers who opened the scoring at the 12:58 mark of the first period on a counterattack. The Shamrocks were a little slow in busting the press and getting back on defence, and Nathan Woldum cruised through the middle and potted his first of two on the night, low on Chad Pieper. However, the goal only fired up the Shamrocks as they rallied for five straight goals. The first came on a fantastic solo effort from Dan Giger who hustled for his own rebound and buried a shot low. A few min-

Delaney Halifax potted a shot on the crease to make it 3-1, and with 40 seconds left in the first, Strohm walked in and rifled a top corner shot, assisted by Chad Pounder and Brett Logan. Just 10 seconds later on the ensuing face off, Pounder gobbled up a loose ball in the
Shamrocks' end and lobbed a breakaway pass to Strohm, who made no mistake for a 5-1 lead. Armstrong outshot Kamloops 22-9. The Rattlers showed poise in the second period, taking advantage of some costly penalties by the Shamrocks. Chris Phillips scored a dribbler on the powerplay but the Shamrocks answered back when Logan blasted a shot past new Rattlers goalie Stu Ford to make the score 6-2.
Woldum scored his second of the night on a hard outside shot, and then with a two-man advantage, Chris Phillips potted his second of the night on the powerplay, taking a nice cross-crease pass from Woldum and one timing it behind Pieper. It was 6-4 Irish after two periods. The third period was a chippy affair with frustration flaring for both teams. Matt Vezina of Kamloops was assessed a minor penalty for crease play when he slashed at Pieper's stick while held the ball. On the ensuing power play, Nelson took a lovely pass from Strohm, and with some room in the middle, danced by two defenders and let a low bounce shot go which beat Ford short side. The Rattlers managed to score on a hard outside shot from Curtis McIntosh that hit the post and went in to make it 7-5 but a costly penalty to the Rattlers' Brett Baker for high sticking allowed the Shamrocks to kill off the clock in the last two minutes. Armstrong outshot Kamloops 47-36. "We started off on fire and their goalie was hot again in the first half of the period but we finally got to him late in the period," said Shamrocksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach Ken McGregor. "The rest of the game was a bit of an ugly win but we'll take them any way we can." Strohm, named first star, was happy to get the win. "We scored some timely goals tonight which stopped their momentum," said Strohm. "Pounder gave me a couple nice passes and I had time to get a good look at the net." Woldum, with 2+2, was second star, while Pounder collected four helpers and third star. Sean Koenig of the Shamrocks and Woldum received fighting majors at the buzzer. Koenig also received a third-man-in penalty.
4IGERS GET SECOND CHANCE TO PLAY FOR 4/*,, PLAYOFF PENANT GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
It looks like cats do have extra lives after all. Even big ones. It appears the Vernon Re/Max Tigers will have another chance to play for the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League pennant tonight (7:30 p.m.) at Civic Arena. Vernon general manager Rich Zecchel filed a protest with the B.C. Lacrosse Association (BCLA) following the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 5-4 overtime loss to the host Kamloops Venon in Game 4 of the best-of-five champion ship series last Thursday at Memorial Arena. He cited the Venomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inclusion of an illegal player on their roster.
With Midget backup netminder Mitch Horsman playing in the B.C. Summer Games, the Venom dressed Kamloops Rattlersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; starter Mark Larsen. The BCLA agreed with Zecchelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s protest, and went on to overrule an appeal by TOJLL league commssioner Ed Kwasneiwski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The board told me to go ahead and play that game â&#x20AC;&#x201C; plan on it,â&#x20AC;? said Zecchel, who added the Venom have since filed a second appeal. No ruling on that one was known by The Morning Starâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tuesday deadline, but Zecchel was confident there would be a Game 5. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The BCLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main contention here is you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t laterally move players,â&#x20AC;? said Zecchel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there was a Midget player on the bench, we would

have lost fair and square. But when they got security on the bench of the top Rattlers goaltender, that just changes the whole picture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They took a player from another Kamloops junior B team, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the issue here. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t laterally move players within the league. That just gets away from all our operating policy and procedures we have in place.â&#x20AC;? Zecchel also noted that for a player to be eligible to play in the post-season, he must dress for a minimum three games for that team in the regular season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just randomly pick guys up. They only qualified one Midget, and he went to the B.C. Games. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do their homework in qualifying a second or third Midget goalie.â&#x20AC;?

White revved up for the Dub Clark criticizes NASCAR Staff
No one will be more eager to hit the track at Vernon Motoplex Speedway Saturday night than Jim White, who has not competed in a NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 race since 2007. His anxiety is heightened by having to watch his brother, Jason, a former speed skier who is a full-time competitor in the series. “It will be good to get back out there with a lot of guys I haven’t seen or raced against in a while,” said Jim, a Kamloops product. More importantly, though, his outing in Jim White the Cruisin’ The Dub 300 presented by A&W will have an impact on Canadians, nationwide. His Chevrolet will carry the familiar colors of his brother’s sponsor — A&W — but the No. 26 it will sport is a major part of the story. A&W’s ‘Cruisin’ for a Cause’ program helps raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society of Canada and on Aug. 26, A&W will donate a dollar to the MS Society for each Teen Burger sold at all 800 A&W restaurants across Canada.
Last year, the effort raised in excess of $400, 000 for the charitable organization. “As much fun as it will be for me to get out and race, and the opportunity to represent the MS Society will really be quite an honor,” said Jim. “Anything we can do to help raise awareness for this worthy cause is really the most important thing.” White would like to join his sibling on the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series circuit on a regular basis. “There are a lot of factors like time and sponsorship,” he said. “But if we are able to put together a sponsorship package, I think I could work out some of the time issues.” Adding to the significance of the day is the chance for both White brothers to share the track for the first time since 2007. “It’s pretty special to be able to race alongside Jason,” he said. “I may be looking forward to that more than anything short of helping to raise some money for the MS Society.” The tallest hurdle for White is getting up to speed on the track with teams that are completely immersed in their racing programs, but he hopes that his familiarity with the track in Vernon will offset
that deficiency. “I’ve run one thing or another at Motoplex Speedway since it opened, practically,” he said. “I have probably more laps on that track than anyone. I hope that gives us some sort of edge. We’ll need it.” Despite the obvious disadvantages of having been away from the series for extended time and the effort he and his team will put into the car this week, White is looking forward to the weekend. I can’t wait,” he stated. “There’s going to be a great crowd on hand and it will be a blast.”
FAST FACTS: The Race: Cruisin’ The Dub 300 presented by A&W The Place: MotoPlex Speedway, Vernon The Date: Saturday, 8 p.m. The Distance: 300 laps / 150 miles Race Purse: $95,498 CAD TV Schedule: TSN, Aug. 15, 9 p.m. PT 2009 Winner: Andrew Ranger 2009 Polesitter: Ron Beauchamp Jr. Schedule: Practice 1:30-2:30 p.m.; Qualifying 5:30 p.m.
Tiger protest Continued from B1
Venom head coach Doug Clark was clearly disappointed by Vernon’s decision to file a grievance. “The whole league is up in arms, except for Vernon,” he said, noting the Venom had Kwasneiwski’s approval (via an e-mail memo) to use Larsen solely as an emergency backup. “What they’ve done is violated the sanctity of our league. It’s about as low as it goes. But it shows Vernon’s true colours – we beat them fair and square.” Given what has happened off the floor, both teams believe Game 5 will be an emotionallycharged affair. “There’s no love loss here. It’s getting worse. Our guys are fired up, they’re ready to play,” said Zecchel. Replied Clark: “They’re (Venom) just saying, ‘Just bring it on.’” This extra game won’t give the winner much time to regroup for junior B provincials, as the Interior champions are slated to play Friday night (8 p.m.) in Langley. “The hotels and everything are booked already... so whoever shows up, shows up,” said Zecchel.

Rookie jockey rides to winner’s circle Morning Star Staff
In horse racing circles, they are known as buzz boys or apprentices. They are now calling Chance Carson champ. The 16-year-old rookie Washington State jockey rode Lord Lattigo to victory before 2,000 fans Sunday in the 117th running of the Vernon Cup at Kin Race Track. Carson won the feature race by 2 1/2 lengths over Tyler Walker of Vancouver on Wes Walker. Carson ended the six-race card with a pair of wins, two seconds and a third. Bettors wagered a total of $30,000. Sher, ridden by veteran Craig Wonnacott, opened the afternoon with a win in the first race. Wonnacott, 42, who is originally from Zimbabwe and divides his time between Canada
and the African nation. The final race was won by local jockey Carolyn Stinn, who was aboard Road to Luck, and set a record for six furlongs in one minute and 11 seconds. Road to Luck is owned by her son, Tyrel Hattori. Stinn, who leads the interior jockey standings, guided Ravenette to second place in the first race, and did likewise on My Blue Heart, in the third race. The exactor (picking the first- and second-place horses) in the third race paid $639 on a $2 wager. Stinn and the other jockeys will now choose between cards at Hastings Park in Vancouver or Washington State and Alberta.

Toyota gains tie Morning Star Staff
Vernon Toyota used a strong second half to salvage a 2-2 draw with Lake Country in Okanagan Men’s 35+ Soccer League action Monday night at Marshall Field #3. Lake Country scored two quick goals in the middle of the opening half before Toyota rallied with goals by Mike Sandstra and Brian Johnston in the second half. Toyota Keeper Colin McDonnell played a strong game, stopping Lake Country strikers on several good chances in the late stages of the second half. The car crew went to 8-4-2, while Lake Country is now 9-4-1 in Pool A. In Pool B play, Peoples Insulation of Kelowna grounded Bosman Accounting of Vernon 5-1 at Marshall Field #2. In Capri Insurance 45+ League action Monday night, Gordie Howard scored his 19th and 20th goals of the season as the Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels ambushed Pushor Mitchell Advocates 5-1 at Marshall #1. Al Murphy also bagged two goals and defender Stu Whiting fooled allstar keeper Chris Burkitt with a long shot which appeared to be going wide, for his first snipe of the season. Steve Cox, on a nifty give-and-go, replied for Pushor Mitchell (7-6-2). Howard used a sweet back-heel
pass to set up one of Murphy’s goals and earned the Old Spice Man of the Match. The Camels went to 13-1. A great team effort led Okanagan Spring to a 3-1 win over Baxter’s Pub at Parkinson Rec Field. Mattias Gohl opened the scoring from 10 yards out, getting his own rebound and burying his shot into the top corner. Just before half, Mike Lloyd was sprung on a breakaway by Wayne Aasen and converted. In the second half, Lloyd completed the offence on a 25-yard blast. The defensive line of Tom Ouchi, Jim McEwan, Chris Reeves and Gord Campbell ran miles to keep the speedy Baxter’s forwards in check, only to have them pot a goal with five minutes left. Spring went to 9-6. Cantina’s Pub shaded Big O Tire Ogopogos 3-2 at Marshall #4 with Greg Hoffman netting the late winner on a penalty kick. Earlier, Rob Ross hit the post and Rob Culos, playing outside half instead of his usual defence position, smacked the rebound in off the post, to give Big O an earlier lead. Scottish import Steve McPhate, playing forward instead of his usual halfback position, cranked one in on a slight breakaway after taking a feed from Rueben Cerventes to record his first goal of the year.

Sports Vipers hosting Showcase
Soccer girls net gold of 2-2. Coulthard scored Thompson-Okanagan’s first goal, and Berg chipped in with two helpers. In playoff action, the Zone 2 squad trounced CaribooNorth East (Zone 8) 6-1. Berg had one goal and one assist, and Coulthard had one goal. In their final game, they blanked Fraser Valley (Zone 3) 2-0 with Berg earning one assist. The Zone 2 girls volleyball team also played well last weekend, earning a fifth-place showing. Thompson-Okanagan secured second place in their round-robin pool, losing just one game to Fraser Valley on Friday. Facing Vancouver IslandCentral Coast in their Saturday crossover match, the Zone 2 girls bowed in the third set to fall out of medal contention. In consolation play, they rebounded with a straightsets win over the Kootenays, and capped their Summer Games experience by grounding Caribou-North East in two straight sets. Local athletes competing with the girls volleyball squad include Daralyn Schepp, Kaelyn Parmelee, Searra Becker and Antonia Vandenbrink, who was an alternate. The boys volleyball team, featuring Vernon’s Samuel Koch and Armstrong’s Travis Hoogland, struck silver, falling to Fraser Valley in three
Sun rough in opener WARREN HENDERSON Black Press Sports
Even after being flagged with 20 penalties for 180 yards, the Okanagan Sun managed to escape from their B.C. Football Conference opener against Kamloops with two points. Don't expect the same kinds of numbers to wash against the South Surrey Rams in the Sun's home opener Saturday night (7:00) at the Apple Bowl. "No doubt about it, we'll have to run a much cleaner game against Surrey…they're always a tough team to play against and you can't be sloppy," said Sun head coach Peter McCall. "We had 20 penalties in Kamloops, five of them were personal fouls, and it's not too often you're going to get away with that. The guys were lipping off and the officiating crew was maybe setting the tone for the year that they're going to call it very tight. We have to be more disciplined." Despite their propensity for taking drive-killing penalties—two touchdowns were called back – the Sun
emerged from Kamloops Saturday night with a 24-10 win over the Broncos. Okanagan looked very much like a team trying to work out the earlyseason bugs, particularly on offence. The Sun also committed five turnovers and yielded five sacks. Quarterbacks Bobby Davis and Taylor Potkins each played one half of football and each had their moments, but neither stepped forward to seize the starting role. Davis was 9-for-15 with one touchdown, while Potkins completed 4-of-8 passes and tossed in two TDs. "Inexperience, nerves and having our starting centre injured I think had a little to do with our offence struggling," said McCall. "Kamloops brought back their whole defense from last year and they brought seven or eight guys on most plays, it created timing problems for us and there was a lot of scrambling around. "With Bobby (Davis) and Taylor (Potkins) it's still a stalemate, both guys are capable but neither has stepped up just yet.”

Summer is barely half over, but minds are already turning towards the next B.C. Hockey League season. With a fresh sheet of ice at Wesbild Centre, around 90 prospects will display their talent in front of junior, college and professional scouts at the inaugural Sun Valley Showcase, which starts today and ends Saturday. Hosted by Vernon Viper coaches Mark Ferner and Jason Williamson, the Showcase will divide players into five teams to play one another in a round-robin. Teams also get practice sessions and seminars. “It’s a showcase to for these kids to get scouted by not only BCHL, but also junior B, NCAA and WHL scouts,” said Williamson. “There’s even going to be a few NHL scouts there.” Williamson added the Showcase also means good exposure for Vernon, and for the Vipers. Games and practices are running daily.

Later that day, Weir supplied the lone goal as Zone 2 settled for a 1-1 draw with Zone 6 Vancouver IslandCentral Coast. In Saturday-morning action, they responded by bouncing Zone 1 Kootenays 4-1 to win their pool. Goals were supplied by Ashlyn Day, Kate Johnson, Weir and Laranjo. In semifinal crossover play, Zone 2 pummeled Zone 5 Vancouver-Squamish 3-0, getting offence from Day, Johnson and Coldstream’s Lydia Wood as they advanced to the final. The Zone 2 boys soccer team didn’t lose a game, but had to settle for fifth at the Games. Nick Berg of Vernon and Scott Coulthard of Coldstream, along with four players from Kelowna, three from Penticton, two from Kamloops and one from Shuswap, made up the Zone 2 crew. The boys tied all three games in the round-robin, their first a 2-2 draw with the Kootenays. In the second game they faced the powerhouse VancouverSquamish squad who eventually won silver. The game ended in a 1-1 tie with Berg assisting on the goal. Their third round-robin pitted them against North West (Zone 7) with a score

The Zone 2 ThompsonOkanagan girls soccer team is tops again, claiming their second-straight B.C. Summer Games gold medal Sunday morning in Langley. The Zone 2 girls got goals from Ella Weir and Vernon’s Maddy Larajo as they stopped Zone 5 Vancouver-Squamish 2-1 in the championship game. Vernon-based Zone 2 head coach Wayne Aasen said most of the girls had never played the 3-3-1 system before, but added after 10 practices, they had become quite comfortable with the system and improved each game. “The girls did whatever and played wherever they were asked and they all contributed. Every girl got lots of playing time so it was a full team effort,” said Aasen. “I could not be more proud of the players as they far exceeded my expectations and were deserving of their gold medals. It was definitely the most exciting and challenging coaching assignment I have had.” ThompsonOkanagan, who also won gold at the 2008 Games in Kelowna, opened round-robin play Friday by slamming Zone 4 Fraser River Delta 3-0. Avery Marshall, Maya Venkataraman and Brooke Bazian handled the scoring.

Kamloops hospital hosting air ambulance project MELISSA LAMPMAN Black Press
Royal Inland Hospital is the testing grounds for an air-ambulance pilot project aimed at saving patient’s lives in the Interior Health Authority. After several years of discussions with various interest groups, Health Services Minister Kevin Falcon has announced the eight-week program for Kamloops. “Delivering health care across such a diverse region
is a challenge,” he said, noting many rural areas rely on large tertiary care centres, such as Royal Inland Hospital. “A dedicated air-ambulance service is going to be a critical piece of the appropriate health care for these patients and these individuals.” For the next two months, a specially equipped Bell 412 helicopter will be based out of Kamloops and will respond to emergency calls
of more than 30 minutes away and execute patient transfers of more than one hour in length. It’s expected the air ambulance will undertake about 80 flight hours during the program at a cost of $280,000, or about $3,500 an hour. Emergency air transport in the health authority has been provided by B.C. Ambulance Service on an as-needed basis via airplanes and chartered helicopters.
In the Interior, BCAS spent nearly $10 million transporting just more than 2,000 patients the last fiscal year. “I am pleased that the pilot project offers the oportunity to determine whether a dedicated helicopter will benefit patients in the Souther Interior,” said BCAS executive director for provincial programs Ralph Jones. He said critical-care transport paramedics receive
advanced safety training and there are only 84 — or two per cent — who have reached this level out of the province’s 3,600 paramedics. Critical care paramedic chief Randy MacLeod is part of that percentile and, knowing how important air transport, is looking forward to the next two months. “It’s really been a long time coming,” he said. “We’re all just very ecstatic.” MacLeod said patients
will definitely benefit from the dedicated helicopter since the air ambulance service averages about two to three calls minimum every day. Criteria that will be used to determine whether that program is successful after time period will be reduced response times, improved patient mortality rates, faster patient recoveries and a decrease in use of medical escorts in rural communities.

The story of mental illness is more likely to be silent than to be told. Something has to change, and for Michael Schratter the change starts with biking across six continents and 30 countries to talk about the stigma and how schools can help. “Canada’s youth suicide rate is already the third highest in the industrialized world and we must do everything we can to ensure these kids have solid support networks and, above all, a sense of freedom to discuss mental health,” said Schratter, 41, a teacher in Vancouver and society columnist for 24 Hours. He grew up in Vernon, graduated from Vernon secondary school and followed in the family tradition of teaching: his father, the late Jack Schratter, was an Okanagan College professor; his mother, Margit, is a retired teacher; and his brother, Edward, teaches at Fulton secondary. The family always biked together, and his father died in a cycling accident in 1993. “I cycled across Canada to help deal with my dad’s life and death and as a tribute to him. It also helped me to deal with a short depressive episode I had when I was 20,” said Schratter. “Even then, I dreamed of cycling around the world.” His second personal experience with mental illness was a manic episode when he was 27 and at university. Since then his life has been what he describes as ups and downs, not the out-of-control crests that characterize severe bi-polar disorder. The experience left him with an understanding of what people with mental illness go through. “I felt such compassion, a deep sense of how unnatural and unjust the stigma is. I was lucky that I had a good support network when I got out of the hospital but there was still the feeling that I had to keep this a secret,” he said. “I think mental illness is not the biggest problem — the fear of the stigma, the employment, social and other opportunities is.” He points out that the reality is that one in five Canadians, and the figure is much the same for other countries, suffers from some form of mental illness at some time in their lives and that most of them suffer in silence and fear of being ostracized. “The media presents the image of the mentally ill person who is dangerous, outside of society in many ways, and keeps reinforcing it. The fact is that mental illness leads to more suicides than homicides.” Schratter plans to talk to as many people as he can about mental illness wherever he travels.

Michael Schratter is ready for a 400-day, 40,000-kilometre bike ride around the world to raise awareness for mental illness. where he can report back as he travels. “Not in my wildest dreams would I have thought people would be so supportive,” he said. “I have a feeling of excitement, a little bit of fear. The scariest part is coming out with the acknowledgement that I have dealt with mental illness but that is what I want to change. The trip has its risks but I’m doing something that has to be done. I have a sense of duty to do the right thing, to make what contribution I can to help people deal with mental illness and not feel shame. As a teacher and a journalist, I hope I am leading by example.” Schratter leaves Vancouver Aug. 1 heading down the west coast of North and South America and then flying to Australia. The rest of the trip will take him through Asia, North Africa and Europe in a combination of cycling and flying. He will visit 30 countries, biking 40,000 kilometres, the distance around the world at the equator, in 400 days and be back in the classroom in September 2011. Follow Schratter on Ride, Don’t Hide at www.ridedonthide.com. which has a blog, maps, and a place for people to share their own stories about mental illness.

“These voices are not being heard. People with mental illness are too ashamed to advocate for themselves and in some ways that perpetuates the myth. It only seems okay to be crazy and rich or crazy and produce good art. People with mental illness need to feel safe talking about it, managing it with medication or by other means and to lead their lives as contributing citizens.” He keeps himself mentally and physically in shape by activity, he teaches PE, runs marathons, cycles regularly and is an adventure traveller — he was trekking the Amazon last Christmas break. His cycle for awareness for mental illness, which he calls Ride, Don’t Hide, took form earlier this year when he made a presentation to the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) for endorsement. CMHA was so impressed with his project that it changed its mandate to allow a third party to represent it for the first time.

This year’s event is a celebration of 30 years of raising Chinook salmon. Enjoy a gourmet salmon barbecue in a pristine outdoor setting along the banks of the Shuswap River. The centre is about 25 km
east of Enderby on Mabel Lake Road. The evening gets underway with an open house from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., at which time KICS hosts will be on-site conducting tours of the hatchery and nature trails. The barbecue begins at 6 p.m. Following the dinner a special guest speaker will give a presentation on KICS and relevant issues in the Shuswap Watershed. Only 100 tickets will be sold at $30 for
adults and $15 for kids 12 and under. Last year’s event sold out, so it is advised that you get your tickets soon.

From bulb to blooming Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: This week, Tannis Nelson fills in for Fred Lyall. sk yourself this question: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why do you garden?â&#x20AC;? What makes it worth the hours that you toil over your tuberose bulbs or the days you spend deadheading your daylilies? Why do you feel happy despite the fact that your knees are sore, and your hands are chapped and cracking? I think that one of the main reasons that gardeners garden is for the satisfaction that they get from watching Fred Lyall something bloom as a result of their efforts. The same is true for many things in life; as the old saying goes: â&#x20AC;&#x153;nothing worthwhile comes easily,â&#x20AC;? and Vernon is a testament to that. The year has wound down for the Vernon Communities in Bloom (CiB) Committee and the CiB judges have come and gone. With time now to reflect on the year, and to peruse the 2010 Vernon Community Profile Book that can now be found on the City of Vernon website, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but think of begonias. While visiting his flowers during the Greater Vernon Landscape and Garden Contest, Fred Lyall shared his secret for great begonias with me. The secret is time, and dedication to the bulb. The begonia bulb starts out small and produces a pretty, but mediocre, flower. At the end of each season, Fred brings his begonia baskets inside and lets the â&#x20AC;&#x153;life juicesâ&#x20AC;? soak back into the bulb as the flower dries up. The bulb grows each year this is done, and each year the flowers come out bigger and more beautiful. Communities are like this. I have watched Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;bulbâ&#x20AC;? grow over my last two years with the CiB Committee, and the CiB program along with off-shoot programs like the Greater Vernon Landscape and Garden Contest, help to â&#x20AC;&#x153;pad our kneesâ&#x20AC;? as we pull the weeds and nurture the bulbs in an effort to create our â&#x20AC;&#x153;best Vernon possible.â&#x20AC;? The CiB program helps us to open up our â&#x20AC;&#x153;garden,â&#x20AC;? that is Vernon, and show it off to the world, and I think that we

were very successful in doing that this year. So, on behalf of the CiB Committee, I want to thank all Vernonites, gardeners and non-gardeners alike, for their part in nurturing our community into the beautiful place that it is. We should all take pride in what we have accomplished this year, and start planting the bulbs for next year when we, yet again, get our hands dirty as we attempt to make things bloom. Because really, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that why we garden?

Turning down the heat
I
n the heat of summer we all want to cut our cooking time and keep the heat out of the kitchen and so I have a few tips to offer today (especially for those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have air conditioning). First, cook outdoors as often as possible on the barbecue, use your slow cooker for meal entrĂŠes instead of the oven or stove top, and use your toaster oven whenever a recipe canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be baked or heated on a barbecue. This will reduce the heat in your house significantly. Secondly, to save time, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re barbecuing meats and veggies on the barbecue, do extra, to be used in recipes during the next few days. For instance, chicken breasts and steak are perfect in fajitas, pasta dishes or for topping salads. In the heat we like to eat lighter foods and a salad night fits the bill perfectly. Start with a bed of crisp, fresh greens and add veggies, cheese, nuts, and slices of grilled meats, if you desire. Try doing without meat one evening and instead try a stuffed portabello mushroom: delicious! And finally, if you must cook inside, do it in the evening, as the house will have a chance to cool down during the night. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipes are for a chicken and vegan fajita, but if you have
