Stewart in a press release at the time. While some have suggested longer terms will allow politicians, and particularly new ones, to become familiar with their duties and tackle major issues, Spiers says some residents are questioning why there’s no way to get rid of a politician that raises concerns. “It’s a simple control mechanism,” he said of recall. Spiers also wonders why the process leading up to changes to the Local Government Act wasn’t more broad-based.

“Very little input has come from individual people,” he said. Vernon council will discuss the issue at a future date, but already Mayor Wayne Lippert has expressed opposition to a recall mechanism. “For a council, there’s six councillors and a mayor. They all make a decision,” he said, adding that it’s hard to hold just one official responsible for unpopular actions. “If it’s an electoral area director, an MLA or an MP, there is only one of them, but the idea of a council is for differing opinions.”

Okanagan College is looking at integrating water safety into its orientation for foreign students. The move comes following the near-drowning of a 23-year-old male student from a Korean university in Kalamalka Lake on July 23. “One of the things we’re actively pursuing with the Lifesaving Society of B.C., among others, is to integrate some water safety training with Allan Coyle our orientation to study to our international students,” said college spokesman Allan Coyle. “We expect within a matter of a week or two water safety will be integrated into the briefings and orientations we do give students.” The Korean student was part of a group of students studying English as a second language at Okanagan College. Some members of the group decided to go to Kal Beach to play beach volleyball. The student went for a swim and was near the south end of the pier when he encountered difficulties. Vernon RCMP said there may have been problems interpreting the man’s calls for help because of the language barrier. Several bystanders finally realized the student was in distress and jumped into the water to help. The student was transferred to Vancouver General Hospital where, as of Thursday, he remained in critical condition. “His family has arrived from Korea and we’ve helped the family connect with the Korean consulate,” said Coyle. “People from Okanagan College are down in Vancouver with the student and his family.”

News Complaints won’t stop new pavilion RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A new public facility in Polson Park will move ahead despite some opposition. Construction on a $1.26 million pavilion is expected to get underway at the end of August. “The pavilion is a multi-purpose building to address a number of needs of organizations that use the park,� said Kim Flick, planning and building services manager. Patrick Nicol Located on the site of the former grandstand, the new structure will include public performance space, seating, year-round washrooms, a concession, storage and a parks and recreation office. However, the pavil- Mary-Jo O’Keefe ion will face the oval and track, and that’s a concern for resident David Hesketh. “It does not face where most event audiences will be. People want to sit where there is a mix of sun and shade. That would be behind this stage,� said Hesketh in a letter to the city. “If it faces the bandshell, then one stage or the other could be used as a grandstand or both stages could have entertainment and take turns.�
GRAPHIC SUBMITTED
Concerns have arisen over the positioning of a new building between the Polson Park oval and the bandshell. Hesketh also questions why the project is moving ahead now when a long-term plan is being developed for the entire park by the city and the regional district.
“I feel this project should be put on hold for a few weeks or a few months, at least until the park plan is determined and the future of the oval is decided,� he said.
Hesketh has support from Coun. Patrick Nicol, who wants the pavilion facing the bandshell. “If you want practical use of something, they would complement each other,� said Nicol, adding that the bandshell area provides shade. “The least park like setting of Polson Park is the oval.� Flick says that while the pavilion will host performances, it was never intended for just that use. “It can be an outdoor classroom for the science centre or the arts centre,� she said, adding that the timeline is based on insurance money from the grandstand fire. Flick also believes the pavilion will be an asset even if the track and oval are eventually removed and replaced by a large, grassy area. “It would be appropriate for audiences that want to view the stage.� According to Flick, the pavilion should not compete with the bandshell. “We’re talking about two different opportunities for events,� she said. Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe wants the pavilion to look out on the oval. “It’s a big area. When you consider the Olympic torch, we needed a bigger space,� she said. Hesketh has also expressed concern that the pavilion concession will be right next to the stage. That part of the plan is currently under review by city staff and the architect involved.
Borrowing denied for water meters ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The City of Armstrong plans to continue its desire to install water meters at all residences, but it’s going to have to find a new way to fund the project. An alternate approval process that would have allowed the city to borrow the remaining $450,000 of the $750,000 price tag was defeated by residents. “If more than 10 per cent of the population voted no, which would have been around 320 signatures, the matter would be defeated, and although the final

“Council might not have done its complete due diligence.� — Chris Pieper numbers aren’t in, the indications are that there are more than 400 signatures, so it’s dead,� said Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper. “We won’t be going ahead with borrowing money for now.�
The residents’ reaction surprised the mayor. “There were people in the community campaigning against it and to get 400 names from a small community isn’t that dif-
ficult, but we accept that,� said Pieper. “Council might not have done its complete due diligence in informing the public (about the situation). It was not about getting approval to install water meters, it was about borrowing the money to do it all at once.� Pieper said his council is still strongly supportive of installing water meters in the community. “We’ll probably continue on a slower pace and it’ll take many years to put the water meters in rather than doing them all at once,� he said.

Fire threat forces ban RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Hot temperatures are fuelling the risk of wildfires, and that means campfires and other activities are doused in the North Okanagan. Most jurisdictions have implemented fire bans as a result of conditions drying out. “The numbers that tell us the condition of fuels are quite high which means things are dry,� said Jeff Moore, a protection officer with the B.C. Forest Service. Jeff Moore “Roadside grasses are quite dry and susceptible to ignition sources like cigarette butts being thrown out of vehicles.� The Ministry of Forests has initiated a ban on open fires in B.C. parks and on Crown land. It applies to campfires, fires, industrial burning, fireworks, tiki torches and burning barrels. Moore believes there was no choice but to prohibit campfires although they are very popular with campers. “Given the likelihood of lightning over the long weekend, we need to eliminate human-caused fires to make (firefighting) resources available,� he said. Anyone violating the open fire ban could be issued a $345 ticket, and if they are responsible for a wildfire starting, they could be fined up to $1 million, face three years in prison and be ordered to pay all firefighting costs.
The Ministry of Forests’ restrictions apply to all five electoral areas in the North Okanagan Regional District, and a notice regarding campfire bans has been posted at www.rdno.ca. In Vernon, the city has prohibited fires of any size, including campfires, industrial burning, fireworks, tiki torches and burning barrels. “We are in a high and moving into an extreme condition,� said Lawrie Skolrood, deputy fire chief. The ban applies to all areas of Vernon, including the Foothills, the Blue Jay subdivision, Predator Ridge, Canadian Lakeview Estates and Okanagan Landing. “We’re urging people to be careful,� said Skolrood. Spallumcheen and Lumby have also banned campfires, while smoking is not allowed along the salmon trail in Lumby. Campfires are not allowed at any time in Coldstream. In the Central Okanagan Regional District, campfires are prohibited in Lake Country and the North Westside Road area. “Violators could receive a fine and be charged the cost of the fire department response to a burning complaint,� said Bruce Smith, communications co-ordinator. The North Westside, which was the site of last year’s Terrace Mountain blaze, is of particular concern for Moore. “That area hasn’t received a lot of precipitation,� he said. Open burning has not been allowed within CORD since April.

Sweltering temperatures aren’t forcing Greater Vernon’s water supply into a critical situation. The utility has been using between 600 and 900 megalitres of water a week as the hot weather has forced people to irrigate their lawns and gardens more. “If that trend continues, we should be OK,� said Arnold Badke, the North Okanagan Regional District’s general Arnold Badke manager of engineering. “Usage is up but we’re above the average when it comes to (reservoir) storage.� Much of the recent spike in consumption has been related to agricultural customers increasing irrigation. And while there is more water being used, there hasn’t been a flood of public tips about abusers. “We’re not receiving complaints about illegal

watering,� said Badke, who admits, though, that there is some confusion about restrictions. “People still believe we’re at stage two and they are watering accordingly, but we’re at stage one,� he said. Under stage one, residential customers with even-numbered addresses can water on even-calendar days while those with odd-numbered addresses can irrigate on odd-calendar days. Manual sprinkling is allowed between 6 and 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. and midnight, and automatic (timer) sprinklers can water between midnight and 6 a.m. Watering with watering cans, hand-held hoses with a spring-loaded shut-off nozzle or drip systems is allowed any day between 6 and 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. and midnight.

Coldstream council is going to find out if anything can be done to increase the power of Commissionaires in attempts to control traffic and motorists at the Kalavista boat launch. Commissionaires, hired on contract basis to monitor boat launch activity, are currently only allowed to issue parking tickets and are not able to direct traffic or fine drivers for road violations. Mayor Jim Garlick says he’d like to meet with one of the Commissionaires or perhaps all three employed by the district to determine what they are willing and able to handle. “I think we’d better get an idea of what it is they’re qualified to do,” said Garlick. “We’re going to get feedback from them and see what they have to say.” Garlick was prompted to comment on the situation after a Coldstream resident addressed council at a recent meeting. The resient said

She also said there are 11 properties next to boat launches on Okanagan Lake and suggested those could be developed to reduce traffic stress on Kalavista Drive. It’s an idea that has been suggested by other residents, particularly in reference to the log home beside the Kalavista launch. But Garlick noted the cost of such a venture is prohibitive, given it’s lakefront property. He’d rather see the money spent on developing infrastructure at other launches. “The suggestions of purchasing lots, that’s millions of dollars,” said Garlick. “We could go out to Kekuli Bay and, for

Public assistance sought in crash Black Press
RCMP say a driver running a red light appears to have set off a chain reaction collision that involved four vehicles in Lake Country Tuesday. A Toyota 4 Runner that was traveling northbound on Highway 97 at 2:35 p.m. collided with a Suzuki car that was turning left off Commonwealth Road. The SUV deflected and collided with a courier van that was stopped waiting to turn right onto Commonwealth Road and another vehicle that was stopped at a red light on Highway 97. The driver of the Suzuki, a woman, was taken to hospital with non life threatening injuries as were the driver and passenger of the Toyota SUV. A Lake Country firefighter said the injuries were largely caused by the air bag being deployed. Without that, he said the vehicle occupants would have been
from any independent witnesses as to which lane the northbound red Toyota 4 Runner was in at the time of the collision.” The 4 Runner is from California, and the other vehicles and drivers are from Kelowna. Police are asking anyone with information to call Central Okanagan Traffic Services at 250980-5353.

The quest continues
I
t’s going to happen one of these days, me breaking 100 from the right side of the golf ball. Wednesday wasn’t that day at The Rise. Nor was it that day in July at the Vernon Golf Club. Or May at Eagle Point in Kamloops. It hasn’t been that day in the eight years since I switched sides, but I am confident it will happen. And when it does, my tireless, exhaustive research shows I will be Roger Knox one of the few golfers in the world – well, at least, MY world – to have broken 100 from both sides of the Titleist. When I started out playing this maddening, beautiful game as a teen, I did what came naturally, i.e., I played left-handed. I am naturally right-handed, but I bat left-handed in ball and shoot left-handed in hockey. So, it was only natural to try golfing that way. I will state right here, right now, that I am a very, VERY average golfer. I play once or twice a month, and I have never bucked up for lessons, just gone out and thrashed around the course, which is probably a very good reason why I have only broken 100 once on a golf course. It was a glorious sunny summer day circa 1992 at The Harvest Golf Club in Kelowna. I had been invited to play in a special event, a qualifier for an LPGA Canadian event, the Du Maurier Classic I believe it was called. Anyway, we got to play with women pros who were playing a number of tournaments to qualify for spots in the Du Maurier. We were told explicitly by organizers “DO NOT HOLD UP THE PROS.” So, of course, not wanting to look like a total golf nerd, I wanted my playing pros to think I could play a little and ended up shooting a sizzling, staggering 92.

Never came close to that score again as a lefty, and, as you know by now, haven’t got under three digits as a righty. I guess I should play with pro women more often. The decision to switch sides came from playing a round with my friend, Jon, at Twin Lakes, just outside of Penticton. As usual, I hit a poor shot and ended up in a position where I couldn’t hit the ball left-handed. “Lend me your four-iron,” I requested of Jon, who, figuring he was going to pick up a few strokes on this hole, smilingly obliged. I struck the four-iron and hit it about, oh, 200 yards right up the fairway to the edge of the green. “I don’t know how I did that,” said I, answering Jon’s quizzical look on his face. The seed had been planted. I borrowed some right-handed clubs from my brother and went to a driving range, where I discovered I could hit the ball longer and straighter from the right side than I ever did as a lefty. I got rid of my left-handed clubs and have been playing as a righty ever since. The closest I’ve come to breaking 100 is a couple of 101s at the Salmon Arm Golf Club. Wednesday, thanks to pro Lee Ranger, I had the opportunity to play The Rise for the first time, playing with co-workers Glenn and Kevin Mitchell and Graeme Corbett. I felt confident going in that it would finally be that day, but four 7s on the first five holes, a 58 on the front, and balls hit into the rough, the fescue grass, the ponds and the inability to read the speed and contours of the greens resounded in a career-high-matching 121. None of us broke the century mark Wednesday. Too bad our shots weren’t as spectacular as the views. Oh well. Come hell or high water, or pond water or fescue grass, I will break 100 from the right side. I’m just not sure when that day will come.
He sat in his truck at the corner of Summit and Notre Dame, having just left Highway 1 and waiting on a red light so he could drive into Sahali. The sun was shining, the mercury was nudging 34 C and the road ahead was shimmering in the heat. His elbow poked out of his truck as he rested his arm on the driver’s-side door. His fingers then retracted and extended as he flicked a smoking cigarette through the air and onto the pavement. The light turned green and he stepped on the gas. Other cars followed and his orphaned butt, still smouldering, danced on the asphalt with the wind of rushing cars. We assume the cigarette finally burned itself out on the hot, hard pavement, but we also ask: What was the driver thinking? What is any driver thinking by tossing a lit cigarette out of a vehicle? Yes, Kamloops looks a little greener this year, but that brush is as tinder-dry today as it was in the ferocious fire season of 2003. A total fire prohibition — unfortunately for B.C. Day longweekend campers, including campfires — came into effect on Thursday, which is only five days later than when last year’s complete blaze ban was enacted. That discarded butt could have easily rolled onto the shoulder of the off-ramp and into the parched, yellow grass baking under the sun. One ember from an Export A, coupled with grass like straw and a favourable wind, can create a disaster within minutes. We can only assume the driver of that truck lives a life of blissful ignorance, ensconced in a bubble through with no news can enter. That, or he simply doesn’t care what happens after his last drag. Pay attention. Look around. Think before you act. The heat will be on for some time yet. Kamloops This Week

A plea for the Peanut Pool
I
am disappointed to say that Lakeview Park (better known as the Peanut Pool) has become a source of frustration for many local parents. I can honestly say that it is an awesome place to take small children, the playground is fantastic, and I am definitely grateful that access to the wading pool is free. However, I have become increasingly annoyed by how the wading pool is being managed. It is ridiculous that the pool doesn't open until 11 a.m. When the pool opened at 10 a.m. it was much easier for all of us. And who cares that the pool is open until 7 p.m. when our preschoolers are at home in bed? If the pool is not being reasonably utilized in the evening (which appears to be
VIDEO FOR G-20 In today's electronic world, I wonder why the G-20 and other meetings like it, can't conduct their meetings by video conferencing? Why can't leaders assemble at the same time, with interpreters via the Internet? It could be done privately with all of the knowledge out there to do so and then no money has to be spent on hundreds of security police, security features, fences, hotels, airfare, food, etc., or the worry of protesters and police getting hurt. Countries hosting these meetings would not have to worry about violence bleeding out into their homeland and making a mess and making headlines in what is normally a peaceful country compared to others. Every leader would be in their own office, in their own country participating and conducting these meetings in a safe and non-violent venue. Think of the money, time and worry that could be saved. It's amazing that leaders of all countries haven't
the case) then why not shift the hours earlier to open at 9 a.m. and close at 5 p.m.? The moms I spoke to at the park today all agreed that this would be a sensible move. The secondary annoyance is that even
done this in this day and age of the Internet. If they can spend a billion dollars for a conference, they can spend much less setting up meetings via the Internet where it would be private and probably much more productive. The money saved by doing video meetings could be used to help all countries worldwide in healthcare, education, affordable housing, job training, food banks etc. No matter how or where these meetings take place, there will always be protesters.... but if done electronically, there would be much less violence... no targeted venue to try and crash through, no wall of security police to try and break through, thus causing injuries. The offices where leaders are participating electronically would not be known to the public, therefore the "dramatic" protesters wouldn't have a place of target. They would probably stage a walk, or.... create a Website so that the world can participate in and view
their concerns and let the leaders of each participating country know of this Website so that they can view what the people have to say. They could have petitions, like the opposing of the HST... it took off like wildfire and it truly showed what the regular people think of the situation. There will always be radicals that spoil the true purpose of an event, but I feel the violence would be highly downgraded if meetings were electronically conducted. Louise Szczepanik LEAVING B.C. Beautiful mountains, lovely lakes, lots of trees. It makes B.C. a great place to visit. Unfortunately the difference between visiting B.C. and living in B.C. is that when you live in B.C., you end up having to look past the tourist appeal and see how this dictatorship of a province is run - and how it affects your life. I moved to B.C. in 2007 ready to start a new life: I
though the pool is supposed to open at 11 a.m, it hardly ever does. The lifeguards appear to take their time testing the pool water, so many days the gates don't open until much later, for example they were moved to a city I never have been to before. I was going to start the career of my dreams (paramedic). I was ready to establish myself. Three years later I am so sick of how things are run here and how the powers that be have destroyed my career, I am taking my family and moving us to Ontario. Where else do you have a premier convicted of drinking and driving, a government that has misled the people who put them into power just so they can stay in power, and a government that has made such huge cutbacks to vital services such as health care, education, senior services while pouring money into a glorified elitist rich party and a stadium? Where else do you have such a vital profession (paramedics) being constantly beaten down by their own employers? Where else do you have a government that puts peoples lives at risk by extending wait times just so they can shave $50,000 off of a multi-million dollar bud-

finally unlocked at 11:38 a.m. today. Then the two lifeguards sit down in their side-byside chairs and start to chat. Wouldn't it be infinitely safer to have the two lifeguards at separate ends of the pool? Perhaps the management at Vernon Parks and Rec can consider that wading pools are created for little ones so the needs of families with small children should be paramount. I want to challenge the parks and rec higher ups to respond to the needs of the great majority of local parents and make a change to the wading pool schedule. The moms I spoke to at the pool today said I shouldn't bother writing this letter, as they wouldn't care, but I am optimistic you will surprise us and promptly respond to these concerns.

get? Where else does your own management continue to cut back on funding needed for you to better do your job and then blame you because they still manage to overspend on things that have nothing to do with improving the service? I love being a paramedic but I hate being a paramedic in B.C. Instead of being appreciated or respected, my own government simply calls me a whiner and difficult, and even goes as far as using the court system to force me to work overtime even when I needed to be at home when my wife was extremely ill after having emergency surgery and had to look after a newborn on top of that. Could I stay home and help? Not according to the government. This is my employer. This is my government. This is why I am leaving B.C. for a better life. My family deserves better then what B.C. is, and where B.C. is going (down the tubes). Jason Angulo

Agency plans new facility RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
An agency that helps men get back on their feet is looking to the future. The John Howard Society is pursuing funding options so it can build a new facility on the existing 43rd Street site in South Vernon. “The building we’re in now is not safe. Electrical panels are often overloaded,” said Barb Levesque, executive director. “It won’t be a hotel. It will be a basic building for basic services.” Parts of the existing build- Barb Levesque ing date back to 1938, while the most recent additions are from 1972. Besides electrical, there are also problems with the plumbing and roof. Presently, the structure includes a 24-bed men’s homeless shelter, 14 beds for transitional housing and nine beds for the addictions recovery program. There is also an employment program and
administration offices for the homeless outreach program and the downtown Gateway shelter. “The new building will have exactly the same number of beds,” said Levesque, adding that there are no major plans to expand programs. The society anticipates taking out a mortgage for the new building, which will cost between $15 and $19 million to build. Grants will also be sought. The new Howard House would be constructed where the garden is and once it’s completed in about two years, the current building would be demolished. The entrance would be off 24th Avenue. “It will have greenspace around it and a bit of a plaza,” said Levesque of the goal of making the project appealing to the neighbourhood. A neighbourhood council is also being established so residents can become more involved in activities at Howard House. “It’s important for us that people understand what we’re doing,” said Levesque. “People call and ask how they can help. Local businesses call and hire our clients.” Before construction could begin, a zoning text amendment is needed from the City of Vernon to permit shelter activities.

Retirement opens up deputy fire chief spot at VFD RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s fire department is undergoing a change in management. Rick Owens has retired as deputy fire chief of operations, after being with the city for nine years. According to fire chief Jeff Carlisle, Owens’ contributions to enhancing the fire service were substantial. “He co-ordinated a number of projects,” said Carlisle. “He put together an emergency management plan and co-ordinated procurement of our new truck.” Owens also oversaw recent changes to emergency dispatch and renovations to the department. Carlisle points out that Owens played an active role with operations during the wildland fires of 2003. Owens, who began his career in Terrace, has more than 35 years in the fire service and took up duties in Vernon Feb. 15, 2001. He also served as a director with the B.C. Fire Chief ’s Association and was on the Fire Service Liaison Group. It’s anticipated that the City of Vernon will begin the search for a new deputy chief of operations in midAugust. Recruitment will occur both within and outside the commu-
nity. “There may be someone in the city
who wants to apply for the position,” said Carlisle.
Once the vacancy is posted, hiring a new deputy could take up to
two months. Until that occurs, Carlisle and Lawrie
Skolrood, deputy fire chief of prevention, will handle the addi-
tional duties. Owens could not be reached for comment.

Spots remain for VJH golf tourney at Predator Ridge Morning Star Staff
Just one month remains before the inaugural Home Hardware Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation Golf Tournament. Title sponsors Shepherd’s Hardware of Armstrong and Vernon Home Building Centres have joined organizers in putting together a fun-filled, two-day event for Aug. 27 and 28 at Predator Ridge Golf Resort. Only 28 spaces remain in a field of 144 golfers at the event, though spaces are still available for individuals wishing to attend the Friday evening Fairway Affair dinner only. The evening will be hosted by CBC and former Global news anchorman Tony Parsons. Golfers will enjoy a dinner on Friday night,
followed on Saturday by a pro clinic, putting contest, team photo, barbecue lunch and golf (with cart). The tournament includes four hole-inone chances for one of two cars, a boat, $20,000 in cash and an awards reception with a buffet supper. This will be a great opportunity to enjoy time with friends or business associates at a premium golf destination says organizer Sue Beaudry. “We’re hoping to have it every year and the reason we decided to do it this year is we’re getting near the end of our $7 million campaign,� she said. “The last bit is always the toughest and we thought this might be a way of engaging new people. “It’s everybody’s hos-
pital.� Friday’s Fairway affair will begin with a sparkling wine reception, featuring music act James and the Country Gentlemen, followed by a gourmet dinner paired with Mission Hill

Canadian Tire driver Scott Steckly will also be on site greeting fans and signing autographs from 3 to 5 p.m. Steckly is a seasoned driver and the 2008 Canadian Tire NASCAR Series Champion. Most recently, he placed third at the Canadian Tire 100 in Edmonton and is currently sitting in fourth place overall. Fans can catch the #22 Canadian Tire Race Car in action at MotoPlex Speedway and Events Park Saturday night.
is the first place he came after his injuries,� noted Beaudry. “I think it’s going to be really emotional.� A live and silent auction will feature items such as a Hawaii vacation, airfare for two
anywhere WestJet flies, a painting by local artist Rick Bond, a Twin Anchor’s houseboat vacation and much more. The evening will wrap up with dancing under the stars to music provided by a DJ.
Limited tickets are available at $100 per person. For information, go to www.vjhfoundation. org or call Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation at 250-558-1362 or e-mail andrea.egan@interiorhealth.ca.

Morning Star Staff
The B.C. Games may be over for Langley, but in Greater Vernon, planning is underway for the 2012 B.C. Winter Games. During Sunday’s closing ceremonies in Langley, the B.C. Games flag was passed to Akbal Mund, president of the Greater Vernon 2012 B.C. Winter Games. “It was quite a thrilling moment for me, on stage with thousands of athletes cheering,” said Mund. “I was very aware that at that moment, the work for our organizing committee now starts.
I looked over the audience and realized that this is all about them — those young athletes that worked so hard to compete for themselves and their communities.” Mund and his board of 16 directors have preparations underway to host the province’s best young athletes in 15 sports for the Feb. 23 to 26, 2012 event. Greater Vernon last hosted the B.C. Winter Games in 1992.

Like most Grand GO Getter award winners, Sheri Graham had no idea that she had been nominated for the award that recognizes outstanding customer service. “This is really a surprise. I thought this was for someone else. I think I’m going to cry,” said Graham when she heard Krista Kay, GO Award coordinator, read the nomination. “While going to rent a movie, my spouse and I locked our keys in our car. We went into Rogers Plus location at Fruit Union Plaza to ask if they had a coat hanger we could use to break in. The young lady who was assisting us, Sheri, told us that she did not have a coat hanger but would be able to call a tow truck for us and it wouldn’t cost us a thing. “We gratefully accepted as who wants to fumble around with a coat hanger when it is -10 degrees outside, nor does anyone want to spend $50 on a tow truck right before Christmas. “After a quick call a tow truck arrived and got us into our car.

Concept stun Stallions Morning Star Staff
On paper, it resembled a blowout. The firstplace Revelstoke Stallions versus the last-place Concept Physio. The physio crew, who bowed 10-0 to Revelstoke earlier in the North Okanagan Men's Soccer League season, shocked the Stallions 5-0 Wednesday night at Marshall Field #4. "Revelstoke looked stunned after their first loss of the season," said Rob Spraggs of Concept (2-11). "We played a very solid defensive game, marking the Revelstoke players close and not giving them the room they needed to build any offence." The plan to counterattack using Enzo Paal was the difference for Concept as he opened the scoring early in the second half and it was a crushing blow to Revelstoke, who still believed that they could generate enough pressure to wilt the Concept defence, which they had done in the first game of the season. A few minutes later, Paal scored another beautiful goal by beating a couple of defenders and
deftly sliding the ball past the keeper. Paal's third goal sunk Revelstoke, and goals by Brock Reim and Colin Fitzgerald rounded out the scoring and put the finishing touches on a great night for Concept Physio. Riley Spraggs recorded the shutout. Monashee Surveying brushed back Turn-Key Controls 1-0 at Marshall Field #4. Colin McDonell collected the shutout, making a handful of game-saving stops, including a few on Justin Phillips and Cam Egan breakaways. Jeremy Kler struck the Monashee crossbar. Alberto Lopez got his foot on a Tyler Johnston corner in the 15th minute for the goal. The Surveyors received stellar play from the back line of Sam Pantaleo, Kevin Knopp, Dave Dobernigg and Mike Harding. Sam Watson scored twice as the NET Timber stuffed Kal Sports Bar 7-1 at Marshall #3. The Timber also got offence from Brodie Couch, Kyle Halvorson, Devon Janke and Danny Stein. Salmon Arm Courvas toppled Davidson & Co. Dynamite 2-0 at Marshall #1.

The Vernon Re/Max Tigers were hoping for a packed house Wednesday night at Civic Arena. Instead, they got an empty one. The Cats had successfully filed a protest to the B.C. Lacrosse Association (BCLA) after Game 4 of the best-offive of the Thompson-Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League championship series – originally a 5-4 series-clinching overtime win for the Kamloops Venom – and were expecting a Game 5 to be played as a result. However, in an emergency meeting on Wednesday afternoon in Vancouver, the BCLA upheld an appeal filed by the Venom. Tigers’ general manager Rich Zecchel protested the Game 4 loss on the grounds that Kamloops had an illegal player on its roster for the win. The player cited is goaltender Mark Larsen, who plays with the Kamloops Jr. Rattlers, but was suiting up with the Venom as an emergency backup, but didn’t play. Under BCLA and TOJLL rules, to be eligible for a playoff game, a player must be signed to his current team and must have participated in at least three regular-season games with that team. However, TOJLL president Ed Kwasniewski sent out a memo on June 28 to all teams in the league, stating he would allow goalies to be picked up for emergency use in case of an injury. “I really don’t feel it’s fair for a team to default a game/series if they lose their only starter,” the memo reads. “The team would have to go through me . . . convincing me they need a backup . . . and the backup goalie, of course, would have to be from the ThompsonOkanagan. “This backup goalie would be listed on the game sheet, but would sit [on] the bench and not play unless the starter was injured.” Zecchel objected to the memo from the start, but didn’t file an official complaint at the time. After learning the Venom would be dressing Larsen as their backup, he says he called Kwasniewski before the game to voice his concern. “The reason we disputed it is commissioners can’t just arbitrarily say who can play and who can’t. There are rules

BCAA Approved Repair Centre
in place to govern all that – our operating policy,” said Zecchel, who only learned of the appeal ruling three hours before the game was supposed to start. “It wasn’t so much the (Game 5). If we had got it, great, but we needed to get our point across. You can’t muck around with rules, and the commissioners were out of bounds doing that. “Our point was made with the BCLA and we’re good with it. Good luck to the Venom.” Gerry Van Beek, the BCLA’s vice president of administration, was part of the panel that addressed the Venom’s appeal, and says they felt satisfied the TOJLL was capable of making the decision to allow Larsen to play. “I guess the question was, if you want to go deep into the league agreements and operating policies... ‘Did the league have the ability to approve (Larsen) as a back-up goalie for the Venom?’” said Van Beek. “The appeal group felt that the league did have the ability to make the exception.” Asked if the BCLA would look at instituting policy to prevent situations like this in the future, Van Beek replied: “That’s going to be up to their membership to decide how they want to handle that. It’s covered in a lot of the league policies, but not in this one. “Being a relatively young league... they haven’t come across some of these situations.” The Venom begin play in the Junior B Lacrosse Provincial Championship tonight at George Preston Arena in Langley. ■ Former Tiger netminder Brodie MacDonald continues to provide solid relief for the Coquitlam Adanacks in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League playoffs. After bailing out the A’s starting netminders twice already in the post-season, MacDonald did it again Wednesday night, backstopping his club to a 12-8 win over the New Westminster Salmonbellies in Game 1 of the best-of-seven league final. After starting Coquitlam keeper Chris Seidel allowed six goals on 23 shots, MacDonald stepped in, allowing just two goals on 30 shots to earn the win. Game 2 goes tonight in New Westminster.

‘Rocks head to Game 3
Garrison boosts Goplen
Morning Star Staff
Morning Star Staff
Tina Garrison supplied two goals as the Goplen Drillers grounded the Tillicum Controllers 4-0 in North Okanagan Women's Soccer Association Masters Division action Tuesday night at Marshall Field #5. Shelley Zupp scored the first goal of the game with her left foot, pouncing on a loose ball from a cross by Nancy Nickoli. The Drillers were caught offside several times but their patience paid off in the second half when Garrison beat her check and ripped a hard shot to the back of the net. Next, in front of her parents’ watchful eyes, came a Glenda Hatten special as her infamous high shot from the outside midfield position sailed over the keeper's head for a 3-0 lead. The Drillers' top scorer Lena Urquhart had to leave the game with a severely sprained ankle. The fourth goal was derived from Kelly Megyesi capitalizing on a direct kick which Garrison got a piece of and helped in by using her head. The Drillers (9-3-1) happily welcomed back former teammate Barb Schulz to the defensive line. Keeper Shawn Nickoli celebrated her fourth shutout of the season. Regular Tillicum midfielders, including Leslie Epp, Krista Backer, Sara Glenn and Shawn Yargeau, took turns coming back to the defensive line to help in the absence of the regular backline. Forwards Emma Louis, Jacquie Nuyens, Danielle Dunsmore, Beth Boyd and Amy Shupe made some great runs with the help of midfielders Angela Durfeld, Corrine McWhinney and Michelle Mercer, who all made some great passes. Tillicum dipped to 6-6-2. Host Salmon Arm Setters Pub moved ahead of the Okanagan Impact for first place with a 2-1 victory. Edeen Ramsey scored a beauty for the Impact (8-2-3). Shelinda Morin flicked a corner off her head to Ramsey, who finished the attack with another header. The tight match featured a few terrific chances by both highly skilled teams. The Impact finished with 10 players after an injury. Leanne Robertson was stellar in net. Setter's went to 10-1. Monashee's Pub gained their second point of the season by

Stephanie Dodds was great all game for the 0-10-2 Monashee's, who enjoyed several scoring chances. Peggy Warnes was in net until the last 10 minutes. Christine Trickey had a great game up front, while Sheryl Matevenko and Jenn Quiring were solid on defence. The Merlot are 3-7-2. Vernon Liquor Store North Okanagan United got two goals from Shelley Henry in a 4-0 victory over the Shuswap Kaos at Marshall #3. Henry opened the offence after receiving a wonderful high pass, using her World Cup memories, and volleying the ball into the net. Andrea Zubot scored on a corker, while Shelly Johnston toe-poked a shot through a tiny space between the keeper and the post to make it 3-0. Henry completed the scoring by stealing the ball and riverdancing around a few defenders. Carla Gibson came off injured reserve to take the shutout as NOU went to 5-5-3. Substitute keeper Lydia Harrison was awesome on defence, while winger Cheryl Riddis worked tirelessly and sent in countless clever crosses.
In Competitive Division play, the Little Tex Outlaws shut down Dr. Lee Dental/Checkers 4-0 at Marshall #2. Emma Dolcetti continued her scoring streak with another hat trick, while Monica Neilson scored once and was strong all game, passing the ball well and going to net. The 12-1-1 Outlaws' defence of Jordan Mercer, Christine Fraser, Tiereny Barker, Stacey Cover. Ester Wolthers and Jenn Kemper completely shut down the 10-4 Dr. Lee's offence. Gineil Ferrier earned the shutout. Medan McGillis had another strong game, passing the ball well and setting up many scoring opportunities. Krista Ference netted the hat trick as the AF Blazers downed the Vernon Venom 9-0 at Marshall #1. Ference notched two goals in the first half, with Anita Csatho, Delinah Erbenich and Ali Clarke collecting singles. In the second half, the Blazers used a strong passing game to score four more goals from Paula Brownlee, Ference, Erbenich and Clarke. Katie Hatten earned the shutout as the Blazers improved to 8-5. The Venom are 0-11.
It was hardly a classic championship playoff game in scorching Kamloops Memorial Arena Wednesday night. The host Rattlers edged the pennantwinning Armstrong Shamrocks 2-1 to force a third and deciding game tonight (8:00, Nor-Val Sports Centre) in the Okanagan X-treme Lacrosse Association Shaw Cup series. Armstrong outshot Kamloops 51-41 but could only beat goalie Mike Smith at 4:36 of the third period when Ian Gowland converted on the powerplay. Captain Chad Pounder drew the assist. The Rattlers opened the scoring in the second period when Curtis McIntosh beat Irish goalie Chad Pieper. McIntosh leads all playoff point-getters with 9-7-16. Trent Evans made it 2-0 early in the third period. Kamloops thought they'd scored a third goal into an empty net as Armstrong pulled Pieper for an extra attacker, but referee Jeff Connauton reversed his own call and disallowed the goal. "The shot hit the post and didn't go in," said Shamrocks' GM Ryan Nitchie. Said Armstrong head coach Ken McGregor on the sleeper of a game: "It was a goaltending duel with some lacrosse mixed in between. We played tight, dropping balls, errant passes and a lack of hustle for loose balls. Both teams had
lacklustre performances but we still shot over 50 shots on goal. We just either hit his stomach, hit his stick or he made a spectacular save. "Defensively we played alright but we let guys get in behind us or get into the middle and luckily Pieper was on fire and made some unreal saves." Nitchie figures NorVal Centre will be overflowing tonight. "We are going to use the momentum and energy of what we hope is the biggest crowd
ever at our barn to win on Friday night," said Nitchie. The Shamrocks, who also lost 2-1 in Kamloops during the regular season, will welcome back rugged defensive specialist Shawn Koenig from a one-game suspension. The winner advances to the B.C. Senior C championships, Aug. 6-8, hosted by the Port Moody Express in Port Coquitlam. Armstrong lost to the Express in last year's provincial final at Nor-Val.

NASCAR descends on MotoPlex Morning Star/NASCAR Staff
Andrew Ranger won almost $10,000 as he drove his Tide Ford Fusion #27 to clear victory in last summer's A&W Cruisin’ The Dub 300 in Vernon. Ranger, of Roxton Pond, Que., grabbed the lead on the 89th lap on the fast half-mile oval and held it for most of the night before brushing off defending NASCAR Canadian Tire Series champion Scott Steckly, in the #22 Canadian Tire/Tow Truck in a Box car, on a green-white-checkered finish. Ranger and Steckly are back for another shot at glory in The Dub 300 this Saturday night at MotoPlex Speedway and Event Park (formerly Sun-Valley). "We're sitting at 20 cars although one is stuck at the scale in Golden," chuckled track manager Bob Newcombe. "His axle spread is too wide so they wouldn't let him through." Newcombe said tickets for the $95,000 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 race are selling "really good" and he expects another strong crowd of 5,000. Tickets, at $45, are available at the door. The 50-50 charity is the North Okanagan United Way. After finishing eighth in the final point standings in 2009, Anthony Simone had his sights Anthony Simone set on a championship run this year. However, some unfortunate luck has derailed those plans, but that doesn’t have the third-year driver down on himself or his team. “We’ve had some bad luck this year,” said the driver out of Holland Landing, Ont. “It’s that simple.” With a short 13-race schedule, the margin for error is not high for those with title

It was the third series podium finish on a road course for the former open-wheel and karting competitor as he looks to join Ranger and JR Fitzpatrick (Edmonton winner) as elite road-course drivers in the Canadian Tire Series. “Those guys are as good as I’ve seen, but we’re going to build a top program on the road courses and the ovals,” he said. The series next heads to Auto Clearing Motor Speedway to take on the quaint .333-mile oval in Saskatoon, Sask., for the Velocity Prairie Thunder on Wednesday.
The 250-lap race will close the threerace swing through Western Canada and the midweek date is the only non-weekend race on the schedule.

The 300-lap race record was established in last year’s race on July 18 by Ranger at one hour, 52 minutes, 29 seconds for an average speed of 81.612 mph. It will be the longest race of the season at 150 miles and is one of two 300-lap events, along with the Riverside International Speedway in Antigonish,N.S., on the schedule.

Heat turn to Vernon talent Morning Star Staff
The UBC Okanagan Heat looked to Vernon and added two major talents for their men's volleyball team. Head coach Greg Poitras said outside hitters Jordan Young and Greg Niemantsverdriet will join the Heat program this fall. “They are good kids in many ways," said Poitras. "They are athletic and they have good arms. They both really like to compete. They’re going to fit into this program and make a commitment to becoming as good as they can become. I think we got two special kids that will definitely help transition our program to the Canada West in 2011.” The 6-foot-3 Young led the Fulton Maroons to the B.C. High School Boys Championship semifinal last season and was named a tournament all-star. Young was captain of his team for three years of senior volleyball at Fulton. As a member of Kelowna Volleyball Club Kannoz in 2008, Young finished second at club provincials. In his 18U club season he played for Vernon. “UBCO is, by far, the best university in our area, and most of B.C., offering any and all courses that I would be interested in," said Young. "I know so many students who attend, or who have attended, and all reports on classes, professors, support and facilities, have been very highly recommended. “UBCO has an outstanding volleyball program. I have watched the Heat team closely over the last three or four years and would be very proud to be part of that team.”
Niemantsverdriet, 22, is also a Fulton grad. In 2006, he was recruited by the UBC Vancouver Thunderbirds. He red-shirted one season and played his second season with the T-birds, which included a visit to the CIS National Championships. He left the T-Birds in 2008, switching to UBCO. In the summer of 2006, the hard-hitting Niemantsverdriet was invited to the Junior National Team tryouts. A three-time member of Team B.C., Niemantsverdriet has received several MVP and allstar awards over the course of his career. “The reason I’ve chosen UBCO over any other school is not just that the volleyball program is renowned, but attending this school allows me to be closer to family and friends. This makes things even more exciting for me as a player and a student,” said the 6-foot-3 Niemantsverdriet. “I have been a native of the Okanagan area for many years and have grown a great relationship with the coaching staff as well as the players that are currently playing, and have played in the past. I believe that I will be able to help the team reach its full potential and help take them to the next level. I think we should be the team to beat." Niemantsverdriet just finished a summer gig on the Predator Ridge Golf Resort grounds crew and has been playing some grass league volleyball. He has four more years of eligibility. "Volleyball is only a small part as to why I’ve made UBCO my new home. UBCO offers one of the best Environmental Science programs, making UBCO a great choice to continue my studies.”
Do you have any suggestions or ideas on how to advance the local Armstrong economy or how to improve local transportation options in the future? If you do, or would like to be part of a discussion that takes an in depth look at these important local issues then join members of the Of¿cial Community Plan (OCP) Advisory Committee on August 3rd at Spirit Square at 6:00 p.m. for an engaging evening of dialogue. “Community input is of vital importance during the Of¿cial Community Plan review process to ensure that the direction the City takes is an accurate reÀection of the wants and needs of the Armstrong community” stated City of Armstrong CAO, Patti Ferguson. “We have recently completed a number of OCP based events including a seniors’ roundtable discussion, a youth expression session and a community wide resident survey. We are excited about the opportunity of hosting three community based evenings of discussion that will take a closer look at key issues facing our community.” Our next discussion evening will be on August 3rd at Spirit Square taking a closer look at Transportation (6:00 p.m.) and Economic Development (7:30 p.m.). At 6:00 p.m., participants will complete a small Walkability Check List of downtown Armstrong and then they will be engaged in dialogue concerning roads, parks, trails and alternative transportation options. The last part of the evening will be focused on economic development. What kind of businesses will sustain Armstrong in the future? This is a wonderful opportunity for Armstrong residents to come out and be part of the OCP planning process. The Of¿cial Community Plan Advisory Committee encourages all Armstrong residents to stand up, speak up and be heard and be part of the August 3rd discussions. More information on the OCP process is available at www.cityofarmstrong.bc.ca See you all on Tuesday, August 3rd!!!

The Vernon Pee Wee A Expos stopped Sorrento 14-5 and bowed 9-6 to Salmon Arm in a pair of minor baseball playoff games last weekend. The Expos, who needed to sweep both games for a chance to head to the provincials, started Saturday in Sorrento off with a bang, grabbing a 6-0 after two innings. Brayden Damini was solid on the Expos' mound, striking out six batters in 2 2/3 innings work. Sorrento scored five runs with two outs in the third inning to make things interesting. Tyler Droder lead the Vernon offence by scoring three runs on two singles and a double. Dylan Emmons shut down the Sorrento bats striking out four in two innings of work. Sunday saw the Expos (4-1) play against
the undefeated Salmon Arm Storm for a chance to secure one of the two B.C. finals berths. Salmon Arm struck quickly, scoring four times with two out in the first inning, including a two-run homer by Brad Whitehead off Damini. The Expos scored once in the second and twice in the third to close the gap to 5-3 but Whitehead's second dinger put the game out of reach with Vernon never getting closer than two runs. Vernon scored once in the bottom of the sixth inning but couldn't get the tying run on base. Salmon Arm's defence was strong, only giving up two hits both to Emmons, who pitched a strong three innings, fanning five. Michael Lenoury had a towering blast in the first that was brought in at the warning track, but Vernon couldn't

Zone 2 lacrosse crew bags bronze Hawrys to compete for Team B.C. Morning Star Staff
The Zone 2 Thompson-Okanagan box lacrosse team grounded Zone 4 Fraser River-Delta 6-5 in overtime to earn bronze at the B.C. Summer Games last weekend in Langley. Zone 4, made up of mostly Burnaby and New West players, was a very skilled team and took the lead early in the game, but Zone 2 rallied to earn a win. “We had to rely on good defence and outstanding goaltending to stay in the game,” said Zone 2 assistant coach Wes Landels. “We battled back and tied the game up in the last minute of regulation
play and then scored the only goal in the 10-minute overtime period to win.” The Zone 2 squad went 2-1 in roundrobin play, beating the Zone 1 Kootenays 28-2 and Zone 5 Vancouver-North Shore 6-4, before falling 9-4 to Zone 3 Fraser Valley. A total of seven players from the North Okanagan Minor Lacrosse Association competed on the box team – Owen Barker, Braden Barr, Brett Hawrys, Darrell Landels, Jordan Orr, Conor Payne and Jay Seaton. The Summer Games were also a selection camp for Team B.C., which will compete at the National Midget Lacrosse Championships, Aug. 14-20 in Coquitlam. Of the 152 athletes competing at the Games, 30 runners and four goalies were

selected to attend a one-day camp. Seaton, Barker and Hawrys were among that 30, with Hawrys earning a spot on the Team B.C. roster. “NOMLA is very pleased for all three players for the recognition they received and wish Brett the best of luck at nationals,” said Landels. In Summer Games field lacrosse action, Ryan Sarazin, Jake Thomson and Liam Drabiuk helped Zone 2 to a fourth-place finish. Meanwhile, Vernon Kokanee Swim Club member Florian Terpstra claimed gold in the 200-metre breaststroke, a result that wasn’t posted on the Summer Games website. Overall, Terpstra collected five medals, adding a silver and three bronze.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) It might be impossible for you to move forward with your plans because of someone who is fearful that what you do might subvert his/her schemes, and is thusly trying to stop you first.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’re not likely to have much patience with others, so take care that you don’t respond in an unseemly manner should someone challenge your ideas or position. Keep your cool.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Not attending to your duties or responsibilities in a timely fashion will put you so far behind that it will be impossible for you to get caught up. It’s bad enough that life does this to us, don’t you do it to yourself.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) This is not likely to be one of your better days financially. It will be bad enough if you lose money because of someone else, but it’ll be just plain dumb to get yourself in trouble.
Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once.

Endeavors in which you have a say about how they are handled are likely to be quite beneficial for you in the year ahead. Don’t waste your time with any involvement in which another is calling the shots without input from you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Although you usually are an optimistic person, every once in a while your outlook can be a bit on the dark side. If you get up on the wrong side of the bed, this might be the case. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Avoid getting in way over your head due to trying to do more than your time or talents permit. Everything has its limitations, so schedule your agenda carefully and wisely. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Before accepting a social invitation, you had better make certain the group doesn’t include someone you’d have a difficult time being around. You would end up being miserable in that situation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) There are times when you can see nothing but the dark side of things. Don’t misuse your imagination by worrying about things that are not likely to happen. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Rather than ask what might be wrong with something that is important to you, look for an accurate assessment. Others may think they have to come up with something bad, even if they don’t see anything. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) This can be a precarious day for you when it comes to your financial affairs if you handle your assets poorly. Be especially diligent about keeping your purchasing from getting out of hand.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Don’t try to manage things for others when you can’t even do anything for yourself. Getting yourself in trouble is sufficient; don’t put someone else in the same pickle. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Goals can be achieved, but not without a struggle. If you find it necessary to take care of something significant, be prepared to put forth a great deal of fortitude and determination.

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 Robert J. McKain said, “Set priorities for your goals. A major part of successful living lies in the ability to put first things first. Indeed, the reason most major goals are not achieved is that we spend our time doing second things first.” Bridge players are sometimes guilty of putting things backwards. Look at the South hand in today’s diagram. North opens one club, and East overcalls two hearts. What would you do? There is a temptation to jump to three no-trump, the likely game. But if you belong in four spades, partner also having four cards there, you will play in three no-trump. If instead you start with a
negative double, showing four spades, then if partner supports your suit, fine; if he does not, you can rebid three no-trump. You can consume your gateau and have it too. Against three no-trump, West leads the heart nine. Would you prefer to defend or to declare? The spotlight is immediately on East. If he plays the heart queen, South ducks and the contract makes. South wins the second heart as cheaply as possible and plays a club. West takes his king but does not have another heart to lead. However, if East plays the 10 (or eight), the contract dies. South must win with his jack and lead a club. West wins that trick
SOLUTIONS
th
and returns his second heart, setting up East’s suit while he, East, still has the club king as an entry. When you want to establish a suit in which declarer has two tricks, try to make him use one of those stoppers as quickly as possible. Trick one isn’t too early.

Her career began on stage at a Seaton Secondary School production of The Hobbit, and it has soared to the silver screen in the Hollywood blockbuster The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Vernon actress Mariel Belanger landed the role of a lifetime last year when she auditioned in Vancouver for the third installment of the hugely popular Twilight series. Born and raised in Vernon, and a member of the Okanagan Indian Band, Belanger fell in love with acting during high school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seaton had the best theatre program of all the high schools,â&#x20AC;? said Belanger. And her first theatrical experience there, playing Galadriel in The Hobbit at age 16, was a memorable one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was definitely one of the highlights of high school.â&#x20AC;? After that, Belanger studied media and communications in Ottawa. She had originally intended to study drama, but decided it was too strenuous as she was pregnant at the time. Since then Belanger has toured with theatre groups and continued with training, but from her early 20s until about 10 years ago there was a lull. Then she met her current agent Julie Donnelly of Pure Talent Management in Kelowna. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been with her for about five years now. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good fit,â&#x20AC;? said Belanger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a bad experience with an agency in the past,â&#x20AC;? she said. The agency was based out of Vancouver, and Belanger, living in Vernon, was being overlooked because she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t living in the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They only called me for the stereotypical â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roles.â&#x20AC;? Now that she has an Okanagan-based agency, she is getting more opportunities, most notably the role of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Third Wifeâ&#x20AC;? in the Twilight movie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was very exciting,â&#x20AC;? said Belanger of the first audition. But even then, she was not getting her hopes up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were so many great actresses there, a lot of my mentors in the same room as me. I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m never going to be able to pull this off.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So when I left I assumed that was it.â&#x20AC;? She was also very intimidated by the casting director, whom she had met before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;get down to businessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; kind of guy,â&#x20AC;? she said. But she was intimidated over nothing. After what she said felt like forever, she

received a casual call from Donnelly saying she got a callback. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My heart skipped a beat, I was so excited.â&#x20AC;? The director and the producer were at the callback, which added to her nerves at first. But they were calmed quickly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were watching on a screen, and at the end they were like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;that was really good, we liked that.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? After that it was about two weeks before she found out she had the part.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the one place where I feel like I belong.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mariel Belanger The part of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Third Wifeâ&#x20AC;? is not a large role, but it does have a special significance in the film. In the story of the struggle between vampires and werewolves, Belanger plays the part of the third wife of the first werewolf, as seen through a story told around a campfire. Vampires attack Belangerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family, killing her son and attempting to kill her husband. In an effort to save the rest of her family, Belangerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character sacrifices herself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the sacrifice that saves the werewolves, so Bella (the lead character played by Kristen Stewart) feels connected to her. And Bella ends up making a similar sacrifice in the end,â&#x20AC;? said Belanger. In the scene Belanger dies after stabbing herself, which was a new experience for the actress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to recall some memories,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I imagined what it would be like if my son, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 18, had died, and I was trying to protect my daughters.â&#x20AC;? Despite the somber nature of the role, Belanger says it was a great experience, and was very excited to see herself on the big screen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to watch yourself,â&#x20AC;? she said. So she took some of the youths from the Sookinchoot Youth Centre where she works, and they watched it here in Vernon about a week after it opened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was so weird to see myself up there, because I know what was really going on when that scene was filmed.â&#x20AC;? Belanger has two daughters, age nine and 15, but the one who was most excited about her role in the epic film was Belangerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, who has read all the books. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was absolutely flabbergasted,â&#x20AC;? said

Vernon actress Mariel Belanger appeared in the recent Hollywood blockbuster The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. She played the role of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Third Wifeâ&#x20AC;? in the movie that set a new record for biggest midnight opening in Canada and the United States. Belanger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And my dad doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know anything about it, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still so excited for me.â&#x20AC;? Belanger grew up in a very creative household, and was surrounded by music. Her father was a singer in Montreal, and had the opportunity to tour with some very respectable French singers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But he came out west and fell in love with my mom under an apple tree,â&#x20AC;? said Belanger. Even though she grew up in a musical home, Belanger says her singing career is
limited to local karaoke. But as far as acting goes, she has no intention of slowing down anytime soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things are starting to come around,â&#x20AC;? she said. Her next project will be a role in a short film called The Poacher, filming in Toronto. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could never not be doing something creative,â&#x20AC;? said Belanger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the one place where I feel like I belong.â&#x20AC;? The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is still playing in Vernon at Galaxy Cinemas.

This puts the number up to 11 Carr’s Landing area artists who will be presenting their latest work at six different studios on Saturday and Sunday. “Buying art is a personal thing and it takes some time to discover what and why a piece ‘grabs’ you,” said Chris Malmkvist, one of the artists featured on the tour.

Diana Catherine and the Thrusty Tweeters will be performing stellar Americana tunes such as the harmonica spiced Walk, and Long Road, both of which debuted in May on Women of Substance Radio out of Los Angeles.

Stars ready to hit the dance floor CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Dancing with the Vernon Stars steps out in a different direction this year. In previous years, the stars have partnered with professional dance instructors to dazzle the judges and win audience votes. This year, five local celebrity couples have been taking lessons and are ready to show they’ve got talent at the Aug. 20 event which is a fundraiser for the North Okanagan Hospice Society. “To perform out there by themselves with no instructor takes a lot of courage. I’m sure the audience and I know the judges will appreciate how difficult the challenge is and support the dancers with much applause, cheering and, of course, votes,” said Lorna Robb, owner of Cheek to Cheek Dance Studio which organizes Dancing with the Vernon Stars. The dancers are vying for votes from the judges and from the audience and the public. Supporters can buy as many votes as they want for $5 each from the dancing celebrities, online at www.nohs.ca or at the event. The celebrity dancing couple with the most votes wins the Audience Favourite trophy. The second trophy will be awarded to t he couple with the highest overall score (combined judges’ and audience vote). Celebrity couples taking part are the Rev. Canon Chris Harwood-Jones of All Saints Anglican Church and his wife, Andrea Harwood-Jones, a teacher at BX elementary school. Both music lovers — Chris is a former professional musician — the couple chose a passionate and dramatic tango, the dance of romance. The quickstep, a combination of the foxtrot, charleston and jive, was the choice of Heather and Ed Stranks. Both athletes — Heather is a coach with the Vernon Figure Skating Club — they had been taking ballroom dancing lessons and learned the quickstep for this special fundraiser. Ed will be dashing in his white tie and tails while Heather will wear a dazzling handmade gown. The next couple does one of the most popular social dancing, called variously jive, jittterbug, lindy and swing. Deb White and her son-in-law and co-worker, Peter Solymosi, partner to show how much fun dancing can be with this lively number. Both of them have had lessons with their own partners as well and teamed up to
support this cause. Downtown Vernon Association executive director Earl Hansen and his wife, Carol, learned the foxtrot, made famous by vaudevillian Harry Fox in 1914. “There is a lot more interest in dancing now. People like it as a challenge to learn the steps, for fitness and as a way to spend time together,” said Robb. “What I love about it is that people get so much out of the whole process of learning to dance. It can rekindle a whole new era in a couple’s relationship. It’s not about being a perfect dancer, It’s about enjoying something, learning something new and having fun. I still get excited about teaching people to dance after 30 years. We have great instructors here.” The evening also includes dance demonstrations by Cheek to Cheek dance class members, including some for the kids’ classes. The judges are three of the celebrity dancers from 2009 Dancing with the Vernon Stars, winner Brenda Thorlakson (North Okanagan Hospice Society), Dean Cebuliak (Digital Dean Photography), and David Hoyte (A.E. Berry Insurance). Ruth Hoyte will be the master of ceremonies and cosponsor, Greg Miller of Evolution Sound & Lighting, will be playing a variety of recorded dance music. “This is a nice opportunity to get dressed up and dance. It’s a lot of fun. Our volunteers always love to volunteer at this event,” said Valerie Blundell, of the Hospice Society. The event will end with a dance for the audience. “People told us they wanted more time to dance themselves so we have that. They just can’t stay seated when they hear the music and see the dancers,” said Robb. Dancing with the Vernon Stars takes place Aug. 20 at the Best Western Vernon Lodge with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. and the show beginning at 7:30 p.m. There will be appetizers served and a no-host bar. Tickets are $50 per person available at the Cheek to Cheek Dance Studio or the North Okanagan Hospice Society and at www.nohs.ca. People are encouraged to get their tickets early so they can take part in the free group lessons at Cheek to Cheek Dance Studio until the night of the event. For more information call 250-545-6339 or e-mail Robb at cheek11@ telus.net.

Friends of a Vernon family with a baby with medical problems are asking the community to help. Liam Carr, son of James and Kristy Carr, was born Jan. 17, 2010. At two weeks old, he was diagnosed with panhypopituitarism, a rare condition where his pituitar y gland does not send signals to his body Liam Carr to produce all his hormones. These hormones help with blood sugars, appetite, stress management, temperature and growth. As part of having this condition, Liam has also been diagnosed with diabetes insipidus in which anti-diuretic hormone is not produced. As a result, his body cannot hold water well which could cause an electrolyte imbalance if he is not closely monitored by bi-weekly blood tests. Liam has to have five hormones replaced daily, including a daily growth hormone shot. The replacement of hormones will be lifelong. In addition to expensive hormone replacement treatment, Liam has to travel to B.C. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital in Vancouver three times a year. Donations to help Liam and his family with medical expenses are being

Minister refutes study into pine beetle TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Forests Minister Pat Bell begs to differ with the report from Central 1 Credit Union that projects more than 11,000 jobs will be lost by the time the pine beetle infestation runs its course in B.C. Bell says the credit union economists used data from 2005-06 for their calculations, which led to the conclusion that B.C. will have lost 68 per cent of its mature pine forests by the time the beetle kill subsides in 2024. Bell says there have been a couple of updates that have changed estimates of how much timber supply is going to drop off due to the worst infestation ever recorded in B.C. One is that the shelf life of beetle-killed trees has been longer than initially calculated, allowing for increasing salvage of the dead wood. The other is that the level of destruction isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as high in some areas as it was in the central Interior, where lodgepole pine is most dominant and where the infestation peaked around 2005. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The total kill appears to be dropping, particularly in the Kootenay region,â&#x20AC;? Bell

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not seeing the level of expansion that we thought may take place. That could be as a result of the mix of species in the area.â&#x20AC;? The beetle kill peaked in 2005 in the Prince George, Quesnel and Vanderhoof areas, and
in 2006 in the Cariboo and Kamloops regions. It has spread to the east and south and is expected to peak this year in the Robson Valley, southeast of Prince George. Infestation is expected to peak in 2011 in the Dawson Creek and
Merritt areas, followed by the Arrow, Bulkley and Fort St. John areas in 2012. The peak reaches the Boundary, Invermere, Kootenay Lake, Okanagan and Cassiar areas in 2013. One unpleasant surprise has been the west-
ward movement into the Smithers area, running against the prevailing winds that have mainly carried the infestation eastward into Alberta. Faced with projections of a steep drop in harvestable wood, the forests ministry is also changing the way
it calculates timber supply. In the Prince George region, it has been assumed that logs can be economically trucked to a mill with a cycle time of seven and a half hours, including loading, unloading and return trip. By extending that
maximum cycle time by an hour, and also taking in areas with 10 per cent less merchantable timber per hectare than the historic minimum, the Prince George region can make up all the allowable cut lost to beetle infestation, Bell said. CASTLEGAR Zibin Innovations 1402 Columbia Avenue 250-365-2355
