Murder suspect appears in court
A TIME FOR REFLECTION
ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR
Ehlana McFarlane, five, spends some time pondering over her reflection at the fountain in front of the Greater Vernon Museum.
Few details have been released, and now a publication ban issued in Vernon Supreme Court Tuesday will prevent media from reporting on any evidence in Vernon’s first murder of 2010. The ban came as a request from Crown counsel Howard Pontious during the first appearance of a Vernon man charged with second degree murder in connection with the killing of an unidentified man at the Villacare Apartments on 33rd Avenue. The murder was first reported to police on Aug. 5 at 5 p.m., but police have said the murder occurred sometime before the phone call came in. Supreme Court Judge Robert Powers remanded the accused for a month for psychiatric examination. During a news conference Monday morning, Vernon RCMP declined to divulge any information regarding the murder. “We are not wishing to go into the investigation around the details and circumstances surrounding the death,” said RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “It’s a very complex case.” Asked by a reporter if the incident involved a shooting, Molendyk again said he would not go into details around the investigation. What police will confirm about the Aug. 5 incident is this: ■ The suspect and victim knew each other;

drug-related. Molendyk said, in relation to the murder, he believes that the apartment’s tenants and the general public do not have to be concerned about further incidents. A forensic autopsy was conducted on the victim Monday in Kamloops, and investigators say further work in required to positively identify the victim. Kenneth Barter, 37, is scheduled to make his next appearance by video in Vernon Provincial Court Sept. 9.

Vernon challenges decision on dispatch The City of Vernon is accusing the North Okanagan Regional District of pulling the plug on an emergency service. The city was recently removed from the regional fire dispatch function as it had requested. But by not waiting until Dec. 31 to do so, the city claims NORD has also ended Vernon’s contract to actually operate dispatch. “We will continue to provide the service,” said Mayor Wayne Lippert,
“They need to tell us how they want us to carry on” — Wayne Lippert adding there are no plans to cease dispatch to other communities at this time. “It’s not fair to the citizens of the North Okanagan not to have dispatch because NORD wasn’t smart enough to look at contract issues.” Lippert says the city will provide dispatch in
the interim until NORD has a new service provider in place, but that must be confirmed by the regional district. “They need to tell us how they want us to carry on,” he said. One of the outstanding issues is how much would the city be paid if it does continue to
provide fire dispatch in the interim. “We need a firm month-to-month cost so we know what the cost is,” said Leon Gous, chief administrative officer. The city also wants to know when it will be reimbursed for its financial contributions to the service now that it’s not an official participant. NORD issued a request for proposals for the service after Vernon announced it was leaving the regional function so it could focus on infrastructure
Robbery case proceeds in court ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Two of the three people allegedly involved in a downtown Vernon bank armed robbery were slated to make their first court appearances Tuesday. The pair, a man and woman, both 39 and from Salmon Arm, were scheduled to appear in Vernon Provincial Court Tuesday to face robbery charges. The man is also facing a charge of assault with a weapon. A third suspect, a 21-year-old man from Salmon Arm, was released from custody Monday without charges being laid. Vernon RCMP responded to a report of an armed robbery at the downtown Scotiabank branch on 30th Avenue Friday at around 3:40 p.m. Police learned a male suspect entered the bank and demanded cash. He was given an undisclosed amount, then discharged some pepper spray in the bank before fleeing to a waiting vehicle.

Chase leads to charges being laid ROGER KNOX
Officers spotted the vehicle as it ran a red light in Lake Country heading north. The suspect was located by the Kekuli Bay turn-off. RCMP deployed a spike belt which deflated several of the truck’s tires. The driver abandoned the truck and took off on foot, only to be chased down by a Vernon RCMP officer. Police indicated the vehicle had stolen property in it from a report of a breakand-enter reported earlier Friday in the Kelowna area. Vernon officers had been attempting

Already wanted on an outstanding warrant, a Vernon man is facing eight new charges after being caught by RCMP Friday. The man was arrested following a short foot chase near the Kekuli Bay turnoff on Highway 97. The incident began Friday morning in Kelowna when RCMP received a report of a Chevy 2004 half-ton truck being stolen from the Mission area.

Marijuana plants found in Coldstream yard ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
One Coldstream resident had more than regular vegetables growing in his backyard. When a neighbour asked the 48-year-old gentleman if that was marijuana he had growing in the backyard of his home in the 15400 block of Kalamalka Road, he didn’t deny it. “He told the neighbour, ‘Yep, that’s what I’m growing,’” said Gord Molendyk, spokesman for the Vernon RCMP detachment. Police were alerted Sunday, and when they went to the home they were greeted by the gar-
dener who told police the same thing. “He admitted it, saying, ‘Yes, I have 60 plants growing here in my backyard’ when our officers came to investigate,” smiled Molendyk. “He was very cooperative, he assisted in cutting the plants down as we seized them and took them away for destruction.” Because he was helpful and admitted to growing the crop, he was let off with a warning. “His name goes on record as having a previous grow,” said Molendyk. “Should it happen

A whole lot of nothing
I
’ve been wondering how long it would take before Bob Spiers’ personal blog came under scrutiny. Spiers was elected to city council in 2008, but before then, he attended every meeting at city hall and fancied himself a self-appointed watchdog of the public purse. As technology developed, he became a presence on the World Wide Web. Spiers’ blog has never dwelled heavily on his personal opinion. It’s generally comprised of interesting articles gleaned from a variety Richard Rolke of media sources, with the bulk being political in nature. You’ll also find notices about upcoming meetings at city hall or the regional district, and occasionally Spiers has patched together humourous videos of local personalities. It’s pretty tame compared with other things on the net, but as soon he became a politician, I expected there would be people questioning whether Spiers was using the blog to promote his slant on life. And while it’s been almost two years, it finally did happen. On Monday, Coun. Jack Gilroy used a committee of the whole meeting to directly challenge Spiers over an item posted on the blog July 28. In it, Spiers refers to comments Gilroy made to the media about a council decision on skyrocketing policing costs. “Coun. Gilroy, who voted for this motion, is obviously confused on the purpose of the study we have authorized with this vote,” wrote Spiers. In the whole scheme of things, what was written was nothing. I’ve heard far worse in 20 years of covering local politics, and Gilroy endured far worse when another

individual was sitting at the table. For one politician to accuse another of being confused is like saying rye goes with Coke. In fact, some officials in Ottawa have built entire reputations on claiming someone else is not exactly sure of what they’re saying. One would have thought that Gilroy would have developed a tougher skin over almost two terms in office. Negative comments — whether from the public or colleagues — goes with the territory, and anyone placing their name on the ballot should know that. I think what may have caught Gilroy by surprise is this is one of the few times that Spiers has actually revealed personal insight into the day-to-day workings of city hall on his blog. Unlike other politicians who also have a website, Spiers hasn’t taken advantage of the situation. Now it should be pointed out that Gilroy apparently wasn’t confused when speaking to the media. When asked to clarify council’s stance about reviewing policing costs and the possible options, Mayor Wayne Lippert’s explanation followed right along with Gilroy. That said, Gilroy should have handled the situation far differently. If he had concerns about what Spiers had placed on the blog, then a simple phone call or a meeting over coffee should have sufficed. All that’s happened now is the public is left thinking one of their civic leaders is responsible for a smear campaign. By using an open council meeting to attack the blog, Gilroy has only increased awareness about Spiers’ online activities and that could ultimately lead to more people checking the site out. Then again, Gilroy may want to follow Spiers’ lead and start his own blog. After all, if you can’t beat them, join them.
Vernon council’s move not to replace a vacant deputy fire chief’s position may make financial sense, but the process was handled extremely poorly. Out of the blue Monday, council began debating whether there was a need to replace the spot left open when Rick Owens retired. Fire chief Jeff Carlisle wasn’t present so any details that may have helped the politicians make an informed decision was missing. As they voted, were all council members fully aware of the potential implications their decision will have on existing fire hall staff and their ability to juggle additional duties? There wasn’t an immediate rush for a decision on the deputy chief’s job, so the best route would have been for council to defer the matter and consult with Carlisle and senior city administration to determine what is best for the department and ultimately the public it serves. It’s not unusual for issues to be deferred so research can be done and everyone involved can be consulted. As an example, the concept of Vernon withdrawing from some regional services was put off so staff can come back with a report looking at all of the implications. Why would management at the fire hall be treated any different? Also as a result of Carlisle not being invited to the table Monday, it was left to the media to inform him of what had occurred. Such a form of communications is unfortunate and unacceptable. In the end, tax dollars will be saved by not hiring another deputy and that is certainly important given these challenging times. But how council got there was wrong.

Misconceptions exist
I
just read the article by Martha Wickett in The Morning Star. I am the North Okanagan/ Shuswap branch manager for St. John Ambulance, and one of the services we provide at our training centre in Vernon is pleasure craft operator card exams, and access to free study materials). As such, I am well aware of the limitations of the program, as well as some of the misconceptions about it, some of which are reflected in the article. The main thing that is often misunderstood is that the pleasure craft operator card (PCOC) is not a license to operate a boat. A license – for example a driver’s license – is issued by a government agency, has a set term, and can be revoked. The PCOC is based on a written competency test, is issued by a private company accredited by Transport Canada, has no expiry date (it’s valid for life), and cannot be revoked regardless of the boat operator’s behaviour. Transport Canada’s requirement is for pleasure boat operators to be able to show “proof of competency." The PCOC is the most recog-
nized proof of competency, and applies to any boat used for pleasure that has any form of motor – ie. not human-powered. Another misconception that was not stated in this article, but that we hear from customers on a regular basis, is that the PCOC is a “tax grab” by government. PCOC cards are issued by private companies who have been accredited to do so by Transport Canada, and are subject to audit. When a fee is collected for the PCOC, only the HST is submitted to the government. None of the
NOT US On June 28, we heard on the radio that George Abbot's office had been tarred, feathered and artistically decorated with spray paint. The individual or group made a very bold statement but no one seems to be too sure what point they were trying to make. They didn't leave a note. Grindrod and area residents fighting the meat waste trial incinerator proposed on the bank of the Shuswap River have taken a more conventional approach. We've been writing to government officials for four months. On June 30, a delegation met with Mr. Abbott. We presented him with an information package outlining our many concerns and the supporting factual research documents. There are many negative aspects of incineration. It is impossible to separate the proven health and environmental risks that affect the area within a 20-kilometre radius of an incinerator. Any proposal that could cause birth defects and cancers in children, heart and respiratory problems and
fee goes to Transport Canada or any other government agency, nor do they set the fee amount. Private companies may charge whatever they feel is appropriate (we charge $25), and the fee is applied to test administration, cost of cards, and cost of maintaining a secure, permanent database. I live in the Shuswap and have been witness to disturbingly frequent instances of unsafe boating, including some frightening nearmisses. While I personally agree that a practical test, such as exists for a driver’s license would be a
terminal cancers in adults is a threat. In Europe more than 33,000 doctors have signed a petition to ban incineration due to the proven health risks. Close to 60 per cent (and still counting) of the people who live, work and play in the Enderby/Grindrod area have also signed a petition saying "no" to the incinerator proposal. We read in the June 30/10 newspaper article where Mr. Abbott was asked who might be responsible for defacing his office. He was quoted, "It could also be related to the local controversy surrounding an animal rendering plant." Many people have assumed he was referring to the group fighting the incinerator trial. We would like to reassure Mr. Abbott that all of our chickens still have their feathers. We sincerely hope that he will listen to our legitimate concerns and relay them to the government decision makers. We have faith that the government process does work, albeit slowly. Hopefully, democracy
more effective idea, I also agree with MP Colin Mayes that if the current boating regulations – including the PCOC requirement – were followed and enforced, boating safety would improve dramatically. I strongly encourage all boaters to complete the PCOC exam and obtain a card. It’s not a tax grab, and hopefully it will lead to safer enjoyment of our lakes and waterways. It’s also quick and easy to do. If someone is not sure how to get a PCOC, they can simply study the material on our website (www. sja.ca/bc), then give us a call to set up an exam time at our office at 250-545-4200 or e-mail vernon@ bc.sja.ca). St. John Ambulance is a notfor-profit, community service and training agency with more than 110 volunteers in the North Okanagan and Shuswap. Proceeds from our training programs (including the PCOC test) help to support community service programs and volunteers in our communities. For more information, please call Jeff Nelson at 250545-4200. Jeff Nelson, branch manager
will prevail and when the people speak the government will listen. Not everyone resorts to tar, feathers, excrement and spray paint. Karen Dittloff, Concerned Citizens of Grindrod and Area ACCESS PROBLEMS That new highway roundabout at Larkin Cross Road when completed will only have one access point to enter or leave the mobile home parks which are south of the Tolko mill. Ministry of Transportation will not give us an exit lane northbound on the east frontage road because they want all the traffic to collect at the roundabout. If the hog fuel pile ignites and gets out of control and blocks the access road, how do we leave the mobile home park since we are north of the mill? I think a little more thought should have been put into this matter of access. R. Zawada

East Hill assault under investigation by police ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A Vernon father calls an alleged ambush on his 18-year-old son and the son’s friend an act committed by a bunch of cowards. The father, who asked to remain anonymous, said his son and the friend were walking along 18th Street near the Peanut Pool at Lakeview Park shortly after midnight Saturday, when they were approached by another male teen on a BMX bike. “The kid on the bike said something, some words were exchanged and the next thing my son and his friend know is they’re being swarmed by six guys on bikes,” said the father. “Who knows what provoked it? Bunch of real tough guys as far as I’m concerned. They’re like a pack of dogs.” The son and friend received concussions, broken orbital bones
“The two were in a fight with six males.” — Gord Molendyk and black eyes. The father said his son received a broken nose, was kicked by boots while laying on the ground, and that one assailant slammed the tire of his bike onto the boy’s forehead, leaving a tire imprint. Vernon RCMP have confirmed the assault. “I can confirm that the two were in a fight with six males,” said RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “It was dark and, unfortunately, the victims were not able to provide a good description of the assailants, other than one was riding an orange BMX bike.” The attackers are described to have been
between the ages of 16 and 18. The victims had been at a gathering broken up approximately a halfhour before the attack by police at Vernon Secondary School. Police patrolled the area after the victims had been taken to hospital, but were unable to find the assailants. They also spoke with people who had been at the school, but nobody remembers seeing a half-dozen people on bikes, and nobody saw the attack near the Peanut Pool. The incident has left the victims and their families disturbed. “I was just amazed at what happened,” said the father. “You hear
about this stuff happening, but when it shows up in your own backyard, it’s pretty tough to take. “The boys are pretty shook up. My son’s not a troublemaker. The guys who did this are a bunch of cowards as far as I’m concerned. They don’t have the guts to fight somebody oneon-one, they have to do it as a pack. Real scum of the earth.” Vernon RCMP said the assault remains
under investigation. Anybody with any
information on the incident is asked to call

A major development is in the works for Okanagan Landing. Joel Ellams is proposing a multi-story building that would have residential and commercial uses on four properties on Lakeshore Road. “It would be one of the premier sites along Lakeshore,” said Dale Rintoul, a City of Vernon planner. The plan is for the development to be done in stages. “This is very significant — in the tens of millions of dollars — that can’t be all built at one time,” said Rintoul. City council has approved certain conditions for rezoning of the lots. The conditions include a no-build covenant so a building permit will not be issued unless all off-site works are done. Use of the property will be limited to a variety of activities including apartment housing tourist, hotels, primary food establishment, retail stores and row housing tourist.

December 4th, 1980 - July 31st, 2010
VACSTC/WAYNE EMDE
Paralympic silver medalist Josh Dueck inspects cadets during their final parade after finishing their twoweek introductory course at the Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre.
Cody John Subotin passed away in Kelowna Hospital on July 31, 2010 after 15 years of living with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. He was 29 years old. Cody was born in Grand Forks on December 4, 1980 to parents John and Yvonne Subotin, and sister Denise. Cody was raised in Grand Forks, graduating from GFSS and later attending Okanagan University College. On August 8, 2008, Cody married Kristin Demoskoff, the love of his life. They lived in Vernon BC where they were both employed by Black Press. Health problems brought Cody and Kristin back to Grand Forks in March 2009. Cody was very athletic and able to do everything he tried well. He played minor hockey, his main sport, and soccer. Cody loved to travel and he was able to go to London England with a high school soccer team. He has been to Mexico and has traveled to California and various other states and provinces by motorbike. Cody was fun loving and had a great sense of humor. He was a very special person who showed a strength and maturity beyond his years. He is so dearly loved and we can’t begin to imagine what life without him will be like. Cody is survived by his beloved wife Kristin, his sister Denise and parents John and Yvonne, his mother-in-law Mavis Cann, father-inlaw Cyril Demoskoff (Jacquie) and brothers-in-law Jason Demoskoff (Nicole) and Steven Demoskoff as well as many friends and a large extended family. The family would like to thank everyone who has called and expressed their condolences. Thank you also for the cards, flowers and gifts of food. We take comfort in your outpouring of love and support at our loss of Cody. A special thank you also to Dr. Coleshill for being there for Cody throughout the years. A Celebration of Life service will be held at the Gospel Chapel in Grand Forks on Saturday, August 14th at 2:30 pm. Cremation has taken place. “What a bond to break, what a life to take, We’ll be missin’ you……………..…….”

Cutbacks could compromise Kindale Morning Star Staff
Not happy. Sad and frustrated. Sad and upsetting. It sucks. Self-advocates for the Kindale Development Assocation are not shy about speaking out against cutbacks to the organization, which announced in June it was facing a projected shortfall of $35,000 for the current fiscal year. The shortfall is the result of a 10 per cent cut in funding from Community Living BC, decreased revenue from other sources and increased costs for providing services. Self-advocates play a crucial role within Kindale and the wider community by ensuring that the interests, needs and concerns of persons with developmental and other disabilities are heard. They have been vocal and active in such areas as the need for better public transportation and more affordable housing. Kindale sponsors and supports three different groups that rep-
“Kindale and the Leadership Group is my family.” — Norm Sperling resent self-advocates: the North Okanagan Self Advocate Group represents consumers throughout the region on a variety of issues; the Self Advocates for Affordable Housing focus on the housing issue; and the Leadership Group includes self-advocates and meets regularly for community-based outings. The Leadership Group was recently advised that their meetings would be put on hold because there were now too few staff available to accompany them on outings. “For me, what is happening is sad and upsetting,” said longtime self-advocate Ted Dekker, a representative on the Kindale board of governors. “It is awful to have activities that are an important part of our lives taken away.”
SALESPERSON OF THE MONTH
“Kindale and the Leadership Group is my family,” said Norm Sperling. “If this group ends, it just won’t be the same anymore.” At a recent meeting of the Self Advocates for Affordable Housing,
frustration was evident as cutbacks affect people’s ability to participate actively in the community. “This is really going backwards,” said Janice Lamb, who has been with Kindale since the
1970s. “If this keeps up we will all be back to making hot pads and place mats in sheltered workshops.” The self-advocates have been discussing ways to alert the public to what is happening. They are planning to write letters to the editor and to MLAs and other politicians. A public meeting is also being planned for the near future.

Happy to be back home after touring around the country and abroad, Vernon’s Andrew Allen, with bassist Julia Newton, puts on an amazing performance Sunday for the enamoured crowd at the Rarearth Music Festival at Kin Race Track.

Barney Bentall does not disappoint with a great mix of popular hits and great new music during his Saturday performance.
Beamer Wigley, seven, thrills a packed-in audience with his newly written song Flirt Alert.
It’s another stellar lineup for the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival, taking place this weekend at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds. With world-class artists such as Somali-born hip hop artist K’naan headlining the mainstage Friday, legendary British folk artist Joan Armatrading and Canadian singer-songwriter Martha Wainwright both performing Saturday, as well The Tragically Hip’s Gord Downie and the Country of Miracles Sunday, this year’s lineup is one of the best yet, says festival marketing director Lori Wilbur. “From roots and reggae to blues and bhangra, the weekend is so jam-packed with a wide range of musical offerings, you won’t know where to start,” she said. World slam poetry champion Shane Koyczan, last seen at the opening ceremonies for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, and his band The Short Story Long are scheduled to perform, as is internationally-known children’s entertainer Fred Penner. The captivating rhythms of world music can be heard throughout the 18-acre site, filling the air with the sights and sounds of far-off lands as artists such as Kinobe and Soul Beat Africa, Nomfusi, and the Jacky Essombe Dance Troupe entertain. Supergenerous serves up a cool cocktail of maritime, samba and country styles, and Non Stop Bhangra delivers a visual and sonic explosion of bhangra, hip hop, reggae and electronica. Folk and roots music also make for some joyous noise at Roots and Blues with the boot-stompin’ folk/ rock of Old Man’s Beard; Ohbijou’s intricate melodies and lush vocal harmonies; Nova Scotian “clusterrock” with the Tom Fun Orchestra; Morlove’s multiinstrumental folk stylings; Australia’s newest young guitar sensation Daniel Champagne; the finelyhoned bluegrass of Elena Yeung; Kym Gouchie, a self taught guitarist and traditional hand drummer who represents the beauty and strength of her Aboriginal ancestors; the arrestingly powerful melodies and rollicking sea shanties of Maria Dunn; and Royal Wood’s velvety vocals and elegant traditional piano playing that goes straight to the heart. Don’t be afraid to let your funk flag fly with the feel-good explorative jams of Wassabi Collective; Five Alarm Funk’s intense horn lines and searing guitar backed by an explosive four-man percussive maelstrom; 10-man funk machine Grupo Fantasma; and the horn-driven funk and pure marching band madness of the MarchFourth Marching Band, which will have you in complete sensory overload. And there’s so much more. For a complete schedule, weekend and day passes, visit the festival website at www.rootsandblues.ca, or call 250-833-4096.

Quebec artist heads for B.C. hills KRISTIN FRONEMAN
Gallery Odin’s annual wine festival exhibition at Silver Star’s Snowsport School in the village. The exhibition, which opens Thursday and runs to Sunday, also features work by Okanagan artists Lucie Bause, Glenn Clark, Ann Crook, Karel Doruyter, Julie Elliot, Dawn Emerson, Edward Epp, Peter Lawson, Jerry Markham, Elizabeth
Morning Star Staff
Jean-Francois Racine surveys the landscape in front of his “sk’easel.” Wrapped up in a warm parka and tuque, he ignores the cold to observe the way the light sifts through the trees, creating shadowy figures on the steep slopes of snow. Skiers pass by with interest, wondering what the huddled figure is doing with his easel made from skis, the bindings propping the canvas up, and the snow serving as the perfect brush holder. It isn’t rare to find the artist perched atop some summit overlooking B.C.’s many mountain ranges, painting the life, movement and people in their natural environment in his vivid and colourful manner. He has travelled up numerous alpine destinations, at times with a canvas the size of an airplane wing, to all parts of Canada, capturing the stunning vistas with his brush, painting “en plein air” with oils, which he says don’t freeze in sub-zero temperatures. (He paints indoors with waterbased acrylics.) Not stuck on just wintry scenes, Racine has become a familiar face around the Okanagan, and particularly at Silver Star Mountain, where he worked last season as the resort’s lift operations manager. With the alpine meadows in full bloom, and grapes ready for the picking, the Quebec born and raised artist is back in the valley, and has just completed painting at Summerland’s Dirty Laundry vineyard. Starting Thursday, he will be the painter-in-residence at Silver Star Mountain Resort’s Summer Wine Festival. “I am still painting off season and am doing something different, combining my love of old mills, wineries and fly fishing,” said the 42-year-old artist who was born in Rivieredu-Loup, but has spent
Moore, Destanne Norris, Barry Rafuse, Julia Trops and Charlene Woodbury. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Gallery Odin, located at 215 Odin Rd. a short walk the village, will also be open during those times.

Jean-Francois Racine attracts attention as he uses his “sk’easel” to paint atop one of B.C.’s ski resort mountains. The Quebec artist is back at Silver Star Mountain this week to partake in the ninth annual Summer Wine Festival and art exhibition hosted by Gallery Odin. the past decade in the artistic mecca of Baie St. Paul, Charlevoix, where he runs his studio and residence out of an old flour mill. Before coming to B.C. three years ago to take the Ski Resort Operation and Management program at Selkirk College in Nelson, Racine was painting full time in Quebec.
he explained. And he came up with a proposal to do both during his work term at school. He approached the Canada West Ski Areas Association, based in Vernon, and ended up travelling to 18 ski areas around the Interior. “I mostly painted from sketches and photos as my journey was short.
“With the ski industry, you meet a lot of people. It’s a physical job. With painting, you do most of your work in solitude.” — Jean-Francois Racine He worked as the resident painter at Le Massif Ski Resort, and also painted atop Mont-Sainte-Anne and Tremblant. However, years of applying his brush to canvas 60 hours a week caused an injury to his shoulder. “I had to take a break from painting and thought about my second passion, skiing,” he said. The course at Selkirk was the perfect solution. “I wanted to know more about the ski industry and learn English.” Racine continued to paint during the twoyear program: “I was not able to stop totally,”
“It was linked with my education. I had to ski each hill. It was very hard,” he laughed. One resort in particular left an impression. “I came to Silver Star with my son. It is the best family ski hill in B.C. It is colourful and has a user-friendly lift, three magic carpets and there’s no interference with cars and skiers,” he said. Racine directed his brush to illustrate Silver Star’s specialities: nordic skiing and family, and exhibited his work at Sun Peaks in Kamloops and at Silver Star’s Gallery Odin. He also started looking around for job possibilities after graduating. It
was serendipity when he was hired as Silver Star’s lift supervisor, managing a team of 90 lifties (almost half of them being from Australia) last season. “I worked four days a week and spent the other three days painting,” he said. “It was a great balance. With the ski industry, you meet a lot of people. It’s a physical job. With painting, you do most of your work in solitude.” Racine has kept busy since leaving Silver Star in April. He continues to travel between Quebec and B.C. and has participated in numerous exhibitions, including recently in Baie-Comeau. Besides Gallery Odin, he has been showing his work in galleries at Mont Tremblant, Baie St. Paul, Montreal, Calgary and Meadow Creek (at a cat ski lodge overlooking Kootenay Lake.) And he plans to be back west next winter, with a side-trip to Switzerland where he has been invited to work and paint at Les Portes du Soleil Ski Resort, one of the largest in Europe. “I am now mostly focussing on my artistic career,” he said. “My focus is to live in B.C., and I plan to also be back here next summer. I have great memories here.” Racine will not only

Argentinian film thrills to the core JIM ELDERTON Vernon Film Society
This year’s Oscar winner for Best Foreign Film is The Secret in Their Eyes, a crime thriller from Argentina directed by Juan José Campanella (who earlier directed episodes from TV series House and Law & Order.) We start in 1999 where Espósito, a retired criminal investigator, is struggling to write his novel –– a fictional account of the Morales case, an actual tragedy that occurred 25 years earlier. Seeking help with the book, he visits colleagues in the Buenos Aires court system, including Irene, a nowprominent judge. Back in 1974, Irene, a blueblood educated at Cornell’s law school, had just arrived at the office. Esposito was instantly attracted to her, but was intimidated by their difference in social status. This was the frustrated love story, a tale of missed opportunities. But then enters the murder mystery. A new bride (with a devoted husband), has been raped and killed. When Esposito’s superiors rapidly arrest two black migrant workers, beating a confession out of them, he strenuously objects and obtains their release. He pursues the investigation, aided by his alcoholic assistant Pablo Sandoval. But when the case is abandoned only he and the grieving husband, Morales, seem to care. Espósito finds a clue in old photos provided by Morales. In several he sees a dubious young
man identified as Isidoro Gómez who looks at the victim in a suspicious way. Gómez lives and works in Buenos Aires, but cannot be found. Espósito and Sandoval break into Gómez’ mother’s house. During an illegal search they find letters written by the suspect. In the end they discover that apparently meaningless people named in the letters are all players at a Buenos Aires football club. And after identifying Gómez as a sports supporter, Espósito and Sandoval attend a football match. With the assistance of the police they spot him among the crowd, but a sudden goal provides the necessary distraction for him to elude them. He’s ultimately knocked down in the middle of the pitch. Irene decides to help Espósito and they illegally interrogate Gómez. By taunting him and hurting his macho pride, they succeed in getting him to confess the murder. Justice seems to have been served, however, barely a year later Gómez is released by a spiteful Romano, who now works for a government agency. One night while Sandoval is overcoming a hangover at Espósito’s house, he’s shot with a submachine gun. Espósito assumes that Sandoval was killed by mistake instead of himself, and that the gunmen had been hired by Romano. As a result Espósito leaves town in order to avoid being killed. Now the story returns

Before finishing his novel, Espósito decides to meet Morales, the widower, who now lives quietly, having given up his obsession with the murder. Nevertheless Espósito promises that he won’t rest till he can put the convict once again in jail. From here the story becomes more and more complicated, and surprises are in store! One particularly interesting scene is the continuous five-minute-take at the football match. The camera starts with an aerial overview, but on approaching the stadium it dives among the players and moves around through the crowd to find Gomez, then continues with a chase under the stands, and ends in the middle of the pitch. The shot took three months of pre-production, three days of shooting and nine months of postproduction. Visual effects increased the 200

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Ideas or concepts that were tailored for another’s needs aren’t necessarily likely to do the same for you. There are variables involved that may work against your needs. Think for yourself. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Be extremely careful that you don’t slip and accidentally reveal something to others that was told to you in confidence. The person who confided in you will never think the same about you again. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Small talk is likely to be more appealing to you than weighty conversations about complex problems. Take a rest and hang out with friends who focus on the lighter side of life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) What you can’t accomplish with brute strength and force is likely to be able to be solved with mind power. Fulfill your ambitious inclinations by using your head, not your muscles. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Treat what is going on with the respect it deserves, but also try to do things with an eye on preparing for the future. What you do now could have an effect on tomorrow. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Stick with the planning for a major project until all the details are concluded to your satisfaction. It could prove unwise to leave bits and pieces of an important matter unresolved. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Regardless of what the issue might be, it always has two sides to it. Instead of seeing this as a perplexing compli-
cation, view it as favorable for arbitrating the part that is important to you.
The Eagles Club
ARIES (March 21-April 19) What makes you so effective is that you give even the smallest of details as much attention as everything else. If there’s a mistake, that’s where it’s likely to be found.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Apply yourself to all the jobs at hand, but also try to leave a little time for a bit of relaxing, if you can. You’ll be far more effective if you stop and smell the roses from time to time. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Speak up concerning domestic issues about which you feel strongly, whether it is for the purpose of making things better or correcting something. Nothing will change if you don’t. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Try to make some time for clearing up your paperwork. If you keep ignoring it, that pile will grow beyond what is reasonable and become a monumental job that’s overwhelming.
HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot ashes and weight gain. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

Bridge by Phillip Alder It has often been said that variety is the spice of life. And bridge provides neverending variety, perhaps better than anything else. I have an affection for deals in which the “normal” play is incorrect and the winning declarer-play or defense can be found with accurate analysis. In today’s deal, look at the North-South heart holding. How would you normally play it for three tricks, assuming you couldn’t afford to lose a trick there? Pre-empts are meant to be troublesome. North might have risked a negative double over three diamonds, keeping a potential 4-4 heart fit in the picture, but he did not like the idea of South’s jumping to four spades. Four clubs
was also a tad optimistic, but it would have been worse to pass. West led his top diamond, then shifted to a spade. Declarer won in his hand, drew trumps, and cashed the remaining spade winners, discarding a heart from the dummy. Now the heart suit had to be played without loss. The normal play would be to lead low toward the jack, then cash the ace, hoping to find East with king-singleton or -doubleton. However, that couldn’t work here. West was known to have started with three spades, one club and, presumably, seven diamonds. East couldn’t have only two hearts. So, South entered dummy with a trump and
called for the heart queen. After taking East’s king with his ace, declarer cashed his heart jack. When West contributed the 10, South claimed his slam. Yes, that was lucky, but good players who count will be luckier than those who don’t.

Pospisil goes big BY ED KLAJMAN For The Morning Star
TORONTO - Vasek Pospisil’s historic doubles match victory Monday night may have been the dominant highlight of his week at the Rogers Cup, but he also had an important singles match to play. Pospisil and Milos Raonic stunned Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic - the No. 1- and No. 2-ranked players in the world, respectively - in their first-round doubles match of the $2.4 million event at Rexall Centre. The Canadian tandem won 5-7, 6-3, 10-8 in the nightcap at centre court with Pospisil smashing the winning point in the tiebreaker and then flashing a wide smile. Vasek Pospisil At press time Tuesday, Pospisil was on court with his next round match. Vernon’s Pospisil, currently ranked 329th in the world in singles tennis, lost Saturday in a first-round qualifying match - 6-3, 6-4 to 69th-ranked Ukrainian Ilya Marchenko, one of the rising stars on the ATP tour. The upside is that it provided some valuable lessons to help him assess where he stands with his singles game. “I felt like I played pretty well. There were a couple of moments where I missed a couple of easy volleys, where I think that maybe normally I wouldn’t. Maybe it was just a bit of inexperience,� he said, while expressing particular regret over missing opportunities on two break points at 3-3 in the second set. “I think if I’d have maybe taken one of those chances it might have turned out a little bit differently because I was serving well,� said Pospisil, who has appeared mostly in Challenger and Futures events this year, the minor leagues of tennis. This was only the third time he’d played in a Masters Series event - the previous two were in the last two Rogers Cup tournaments, where Canadians are granted wild cards no matter what their ranking. “I feel like I’m still young. I still have time to improve and grow as a player, but overall I think I’m on the right path,� said Pospisil, who turned 20 on June 23. “I try not to have goals results-wise, maybe just goals in my game, try to improve and just trying to stay positive. I think you always need to be working on your fitness, and the mental side of it - those are the kind of things I think everybody works on, but where I probably have the most room to improve.� A couple of weeks off in Vancouver are next on his agenda - to visit his two older brothers. Then it’s over to Asia for a few more tournaments and his schedule from there depends on his results in those events. He’s on the road from tournament to tournament most of the year, but when he’s not, most of his time is spent in Bradenton, Fla., where he trains with his father, Milos, who has been his coach from the time he first picked up a racquet as a child.

After 18-holes, Predator Ridge’s Brady Stead and Austin Bosquet took a full three points over Vernon Golf & Country Club’s Randy Todosychuk and Nick Gallant, while Vernon’s Danny Todosychuk and Alex Jewell took their three points in the last match of the day. A sudden-death playoff between the clubs was required to determine the inaugural champions. Two players from each team were selected, with Stead and Bosquet for Predator facing off against Danny Todosychuk and Gallant for Vernon. The pressure was squarely on and the sunlight was fading quickly, but all four players performed well with no scores worse than a par. Bosquet’s birdie chip hit the pin and bounced out, Stead

and Gallant narrowly missed their birdie putts. It was Danny Todosychuk who took control with a 300-yard drive, followed by a wedge just beyond the pin and a 10-foot putt that fell in the front edge of the cup. His crucial birdie won the match and earned the Vernon Golf & Country Club rights to hold the trophy until next season. In the consolation match, Spallumcheen’s team of Sheldon and Ryan Kubberness, Thomas Swales and Tanner Burns claimed a solid victory over Hillview’s Shaye and Cole Crnic, Brett Mitchell and Brad Phillips. Sheldon Kubberness won both closest to the pin prizes during his stellar round of 75 and Phillips won the long drive on hole 18. Spallumcheen’s team narrowly missed the championship match in a tie breaker against the Vernon Golf & Country Club team.

Shane Bowring tries to ignore the scenery and concentrate on his game during the Founder’s Cup golf tournament Saturday at The Rise. Bowring and Mark Aven teamed up to win the best-ball event.
Aven, Bowring card 67 for Founder’s Cup title Morning Star Staff
Mark Aven and Shane Bowring carded a 5-under-par 67 Saturday to win the second annual Founder’s Cup at The Golf Club at The Rise. Named after the 23 founding members of the Fred Couple signature course, the tournament attracted 88 players in a two-person, best-ball format. More than $10,000 in prizes were given out. Aven, who took Tuesday off from his job as a pro at the Vernon Golf & Country Club to go fishing, and Bowring, a financial broker with Canaccord Capital, earned Super Tri TP TaylorMade drivers. Tom Ross and Blain Hartell of Vernon shot 71 to finish second and walk off with R9 460 drivers made by TaylorMade. Ryan Wells and Jay Thiessen placed third at 73 (retrogression), taking home R9 three-woods. Rick McLaughlin and Gary Champagne also shot 73 and picked up Adidas shoes. The low net champions were Bruce Salamandyk and Rick Higginson, at 61. They collected R9 460 drivers. Runner-up low net were Vern Hornell and George Wynn at 65. They won R9 three-woods. In the B flight, Ken Faulkner and Randy Hauff took low gross with a 73 and pocketed R9 460s. Second place went to David Bisset and Cathie
Cookson at 76. They won R9 three-woods. Low net champions in the B flight were Jim Miller and Trevor Michaud with a 61 good for the R9 460s. Runner-up Tim Watts and Diane Watts shot 76 to earn three-woods, while third spot was Scott Simpson and Mike Moore at 64.5 (Adidas shoes). In Flight C, it was Brett Robertson and Ryan Robertson carding 79 to win low gross and the R9 drivers. Low net winners in the same flight were Larry Gunderson and Rob Murray at 61 (R9s) followed by Holly Renton and Yvonne Messner at 61.5 (retro), earning them three-woods. Third low net went to Herb Werezak and Cyril Karvonven at 61.5 and fourth went to Bob Zurevinski and Gary Brassart at 62, both teams earning Adidas footwear. Long drive hitters (BlueRay DVD players) were Thiessen in the 0-14 handicap and Brett Robertson in 15+. Don Howe in 0-14 and Ryan Robertson in 15+ took low closest-to-the-pin prizes of the DVD players. Longest putts (TaylorMade wedges) were recorded by Simpson in the 0-14 division and Messner in the 15+ grouping.
Jesse Crowe of Canoe Creek (Salmon Arm) took his two-year-old son DJ to McDonald’s for a victory breakfast Tuesday morning. The 30-year-old Vernon product resumed his hot summer on the links by winning the Callaway Interior Pro Golfers Association Tour stop Monday at the Salmon Arm Golf and Country Club. Crowe, who has won more than $2,700 in pro purse cash this season, carded an even-par 72 to claim $500. A field of 29 faced windy conditions on the gorgeous 6,800-yard tree-line track. “I hit the ball great,” said Crowe. “I think I hit 15 greens in regulation and got it up and down on two of the other three. My chipping’s been awful, but it was pretty good Monday.” Crowe drained an eight-foot putt for an eagle-3 on the par-5 eighth hole for a $50 skin. Vernon Golf & Country Club’s Mark Aven, Crowe’s playing partner, just missed a four-footer on No. 18 to force a playoff. Aven, and Ian Henson and Brad

Clapp, both of Sun Rivers Golf Resort in Kamloops, finished at 73, good for $313 apiece. Crowe, who had nines of 35-37, won his first Callaway Tour stop after winning $1,160 as the top pro in the Gallagher’s Canyon Ladies Open in Kelowna and collecting $400 as runner-up in the Tour’s event at the Kelowna Golf & CC earlier this year. Russ Latimer of Gallagher’s Canyon, Doug Heron of Salmon Arm Golf & CC and Cec Ferguson of Vernon Golf & CC each won $175 with 74s. Myles Johnson of Spallumcheen earned $125 for shooting 75. The next Tour stop goes Monday, Aug. 23 at Black Mountain in Kelowna, followed by a Sept. 13 stop at the Two Eagles Golf Course in West Kelowna. Meanwhile, Hillview’s Keith Vandenbrink missed the Tour stop to play in the Radium Hot Springs Pro-Am, where he missed a three-way playoff by one shot, at 71 (36-35). The towering Vandenbrink, who started with a double-bogey, recovered nicely for a $700 payday in third spot.

Turn-Key settles for 2nd Morning Star Staff
Turn-Key Controls of Vernon placed second in the open (Competitive) division of the North Okanagan United Annual Co-Ed Tournament. Defending champions Young Guns from Vancouver clipped Turn-Key 1-0 in Sunday’s final at Marshall Field. “We came out flat and despite having Jeremy Kler (who scored more goals than he gave up) make numerous outstanding saves, gave up our only goal of the tournament early on a goal from the likely MVP of the tournament for the Young Guns,” said Taylor Horsting of Turn-Key. “We pressed for much of the game, but ran out of steam playing in our fifth game of the weekend with 13 players, and were unable get anything past the Young Guns goaltender.” The Vernon crew collected $300 and the Young Guns, who had local Nathan Whitling on their roster, earned $400. Turn-Key opened the 11-team Competitive group by icing the BC Randoms of Kamloops 3-0. Chris Jahnig scored in the opening moments off a Paige Doherty pass with a 20-yard corker. Monica Neilson scored later in the half with a well-placed strike from the corner of the 18-yard line. Kyle Goodgrove replaced Kler in goal at half-time and made some acrobatic saves before Taylor Horsting found Kler alone in the box and Kler converted for the third goal. Tessa Polman-Tuin was fantastic on defence, playing her first soccer in a few months and solidifying the outside defence alongside Janessa Moore. In Game 2, Turn-Key posted another 3-0 win against Rubber Nubbs from Calgary. Evan Moore found a Cam Egan cross in the early minutes to open the score, and the game remained 1-0 at halftime despite countless Turn-Key chances. Nathan Tucker
used his tall frame to head home a Horsting corner before Kler fed Chris Jahnig, who chipped it over the keeper to cloe out the offence. Doherty, who was playing in her last home tilt before leaving for Southwestern Oklahoma State University, had numerous chances working the left side of the field with Kirsten Dodds, while Evan Moore found Ali Clarke who was dangerous on the right side. Due to an uneven amount of teams, Turn-Key was asked to play an extra exhibition game that didn’t count for their standings, versus the Silver Grizzlies out of Pentiction. Resting some players and going with 11 players who played in different positions, Turn-Key fell 3-2, getting goals from Kler and Neilson. In one of the most entertaining and intense games of the tournament, Turn-Key matched up against West Coast Diablos from Vancouver Sunday morning. In a physical affair that saw girls and guys colliding everywhere and excellent ball movement, Turn-Key posted another 3-0 win. Horsting started the scoring near the end of the half on a shot from just outside the penalty area. Defender Janessa Moore and Neilson were called out by the Diablos players for their aggressive play and pressure. In the second half, Neilson was taken down in the box and converted the penalty to give Turn-Key a 2-0 lead. Clarke created many chances for Turn-Key, and found Cam Egan who was taken down in the penalty area by a Diablos defender. Ally Dodds stepped up and scored the penalty. In a system that rewarded six points for a win, a point for every goal up to three, and a shutout point, Turn-Key finished first with the maximum 30 points. There were 12 teams in the rec division with Vernon’s Aussie Os finishing third. Referee-in-chief Andrea Dollinger was praised by director Shelley Johnston for a stellar job.

KELOWNA – The Okanagan Sun have the wind in their sails as they approach a rematch against the national champion Vancouver Island Raiders. The Sun rolled to victory against the Raiders Saturday night in the Okanagan squad’s third clash of the season. The 27-19 win at the Apple Bowl catapulted the Sun to the top of the standings in the British Columbia Football Conference (BCFC). The Sun were down 4-0 at the beginning of the second quarter. A pass nabbed in the end zone by receiver Matt Scheurwater shifted the balance to a 10-4 lead. Okanagan held the lead through the half and into the third quarter, stomping the Raiders who had won their previous 24 games.

Vernon athletes sparkle in national track finals Morning Star Staff
A pair of Vernon athletes went top-5 in the Legion Canadian Youth Track and Field Championships last weekend at the Terry Fox Athletic Complex in Ottawa. Coached by Brent Helland of the Vernon Track and Field Club, Sarah Bailey finished eighth in a personal best four minutes and 45.33 seconds, in the Under 18 Girls 1,500-metres. Bailey, a Grade 12 Fulton student, was in the second heat of this event and had to run all by herself, racing against the clock to win her heat. Tessni Carruthers, entering Grade 12 at VSS, was fifth in a personal best 10:15.93 in the U18 3,000-m, only eight seconds back of the winner Emma Norman of the Ottawa Lions. “Tessni is proving to show after her first year of track and field that she will be someone to watch for in next year’s nationals for the 3000-m,” said Helland. Carruthers finished 12th in the 1,500-m in 4:48.32. There was a total
of 29 of the fastest girls in the country in this race. In the very tactical and pushy U18 800-m race, Carruthers was ninth in a personal best 2:19.45 and Bailey was 10th after getting boxed in and bumped. The girls will rest for three weeks and then prepare for the cross country season. The nationals are in November. Besides their own club, the girls carried sponsorship from Interior Freight & Bottle, the Kal RATS and the Vernon Mr. T’s Triathlon.

Tina Desjardine (left) facilitator of Mothers for Recovery, chats with Peggy Himmelspach, owner of Urban Rebel Clothing Co., who held a fundraiser for the support group. There is a lot of stress in trying to become clean and one of the stresses is financial. Sometimes a little thing like getting some diapers, food or a bus ticket, can make a big difference. This group is doing such a great job in providing a safe place for mothers to support each other,” she said. “I think it’s important that the mothers support each other outside the group as well, with things like phone calls and getting together for coffee to help through the rough times and daily life. This is very good for the community. I wish there had been something like this when I was going through it.” Women who come to the program can get information about community services that are available to them. “We can direct women to professional services in all areas. Mothers tell us that the group is awesome, that they are just
so glad that it started up because there was no support for their situation,” said Desjardine. “They are happy to meet others who understand and it gives them a sense of hope. They don’t feel so alone. I have a huge passion for helping people who have lived on the street and are using or have used drugs. We welcome anyone to the group who thinks they need this kind of support.” The program can use donations of baby and children’s clothing and equipment, maternity clothes and donations to the hot lunch program. Mothers who are at any stage of recovery are welcome to come to the meetings which are held at the First Nations Friendship Centre Tuesday mornings. Child minding and snacks are provided. For more information, call Huisken at 250-542-5448.

The Mothers for Recovery Support is there to help women as they choose their own goals for drug abstention and successful parenting. The group was started in Kamloops by Heather Cameron, a young, addicted mother on the streets of Vancouver who wanted a better life for her child and for other mothers and children in the same situation. “She found that there was not much support for mothers who successfully completed a rehabilitation program when they went back to their own communities,” said Caroline Huisken, coordinator of the Pregnancy Outreach Program at the First Nations Friendship Centre which sponsors the support group. The group is open to everyone in the community. “I heard Heather speak and it made sense to me that peer support is huge. The women in the group receive specific support from the others.” Tina Desjardine, a mother and former drug user, is the facilitator of the group. “Mothers who are clean or who want to get clean need a safe place to come where they won’t be judged. They need to feel safe at all stages and be able to talk about their struggles and the things that are happening in their lives. If they want to come and not talk, that’s okay, too,” she said. Non-judgment and confidentiality are vital to the program. Each mother sets her own goals for recovery and parenting, and may change the goals over time. Peggy Himmelspach is not a member of the group but as a mother who had her own struggles with addiction, she supports the group. Her business, Urban Rebel Clothing Co., had a fundraiser and was able to contribute $500 to Mothers for Recovery. “I know the money will be used to help the mothers with things they need.

Fruity treats for dessert
I
was at the farmers’ market recently and always enjoy the many booths of produce and creative arts. It’s a great place to spend an hour or so on a Monday or Thursday morning supporting our local farmers. The only beef I have this season has to do with some of the pricing. With all respect to our producers (and I do feel they deserve to receive at least the price for their goods as the local fruit stands sell them for), but I found some prices to Cathi Litzenberger be ridiculously out of line, leaving me to question why. For instance, a small bunch of green onions were selling for between $2 and $2.50 across the market when our local fruit markets were selling the same locally grown green onions, two for 89 cents. Six peaches in a basket were selling for $8 where at the local fruit market local peaches were $6 for the same basket. Perhaps they’re priced for the tourists? That’s my query for the day. Today’s recipes are light and delicious desserts that can be made a day or two head of time. The first is a dessert my mom liked to treat us with as kids, and the second a recipe fit for any company. Mom’s Cherry Delight 30 single graham crackers 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup butter 1 cup whipping cream 1/2 bag miniature marshmallows 1 can cherry pie filling Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs. Mix
KITCHEN WIT & WISDOM
together with brown sugar and butter until mixture is thoroughly blended. Take out 1 cup, reserve for later. Spread remaining crumb mixture evenly into an 8X10-inch pan. Press down firmly. Whip the cream and spread it evenly over the crust. Add the marshmallows evenly over the cream and press them down. Finally, spread the pie filling evenly over the marshmallows and top with the reserved crumbs. Chill well before serving. Note: Substitute any pie filling you like for a change in flavour. Makes 12 servings. Special Refrigerator Dessert 1/2 cup butter, hard 2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs 1/2 cup butter, softened 8 oz. light cream cheese 1-1/2 cups icing sugar 14 oz. can crushed pineapple, drained well. 15 oz. frozen sliced strawberries in syrup, drained well (can use sweetened fresh berries) 4 cups frozen whipped topping (in a tub), thawed 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted For the crust: Melt the first butter, and stir in the wafer crumbs. Press in an ungreased 9 X 13-inch pan. Bake in 350 F, oven for 8-10 minutes. Cool. Second layer: Cream butter, cream cheese and icing sugar together well in bowl. Spread over crust. Third layer: Mix pineapple and strawberries in a bowl. Scatter over the previous layer. For the topping: Spread the whipped topping over the entire pan and sprinkle with toasted almonds. Chill. Cut into 12-18 pieces.

Speed up the composting
O
n the August long weekend I visited the BX Day Lily Garden. This is amazing, you have to see it to believe it. There are so many different colours, many of them developed on the site by cross-pollination. They are nearly all named or numbered previous to registration. I suggest you call Gail at 309-0528 if you would like to make an appointment to visit. There should be blossoms well into August. This is a must-see. Fred Lyall The farmers’ market on Aug. 2 was a huge affair. So many people displaying some of the finest fruit and vegetables you will ever see. The fire season has been very scary. What we really need now is a three-day slow rain to completely soak the forest. I heard a comment on the radio by a fellow who was critical of the Calgary Stampede. He wants Calgary renamed the Capital of Cruelty to Animals. When you kill six horses and a few calves they do not talk about, the name would be appropriate.
IN THE GARDEN
Dr. Dalen Quinton would like to thank his loyal clients for their patronage and welcome all new patients!
There are a great number of people that are not very pleased with the HST. There is no way the HST is good for the average home owner. It is a tax to take in more money to pay off the Olympic debts that we have never seen the true figures for. The season is slowly coming to an end. There is a great deal that can be done in late September and early October to be of great value next year. This is the time of year to rent a shredder and speed up the breakdown of compostable materials left over. Corn stalks, potato vines, cabbage stumps, raspberry canes and even leaves can be run through a shredder and can speed up the breakdown and make excellent compost. Okanagan gardens and roses will resume meeting Sept. 13, at the Schubert Centre. Visitors are always welcome.
Please be advised that the Township of Spallumcheen, due to the extreme fire hazard, is requesting that all residents refrain from the use of properly contained fire pits for cooking purposes (campfires). Thank you for respecting the seriousness of this request, as well as respecting your neighbours and the environment. This notice will be in effect until the Kamloops Fire Centre lifts its campfire ban for the area. If you have any questions in this regard, please contact the office at 250-546-3013. *Barbeques are considered exempt from this request. Lynda Shykora, Administrator

Kelowna hosts legal aid hearing Morning Star Staff
Kelowna has been chosen as one of the locations for public hearings that will lead to recommendations on the future of legal aid in this province. Eleven communities will be visited by the commission in the fall to get input from the public and stakeholder groups about their views on the future of legal aid. “One of the principal goals of the Public Commission on Legal Aid is to engage the people of British Columbia regarding the future of legal aid in the province,” said commissioner Leonard Doust. “This input will be key to the development of a range of solutionsfocused recommendations that I trust will contribute positively to the future shape of legal aid.” The commission is accepting written submissions and expressions of interest to make in-person presentations. Submissions can be made by organizations or individuals who have had dealings with, thoughts on, or innovative ideas about the provision of legal aid. A submission guide can be found at www. publiccommission.org. The Kelowna hearing is scheduled for Sept. 28, the location has not yet been announced.

Alton Kenneth Qualie 1936 – 2010
Audrey Trainor Feb 15, 1923 - Aug 3, 2010
Audrey’s story... Marie Audrey Josephine Trainor grew up on a farm in Nokomis Saskatchewan, the daughter of Eric and Vera Johnson. A mix of English, Scottish, and Swedish, she was a spark for the next 87 years. Audrey and sisters Maxine and Geraldine and brother Harold were molded by the depression and war years when work was hard but satisfying and the simple pleasures like a swim in Lake Manitou, riding horse Jessie to school and jumping out of the hay maw were the only rewards expected. Graduating from Saskatoon City Hospital with her RN in 1945, Audrey made her way to Victoria where she met and married Pat, gave birth to son John and three years later moved to Burnaby where Catherine, Patrice and Joe joined the ranks. At sister-in-law Dawn’s urging, the Okanagan beckoned in 1962 and Vernon Jubilee Hospital became Audrey’s second home, eventually retiring as head nurse on Maternity. Hundreds of Vernon children were blessed by Audrey’s touch in that labor delivery room, including grandson Drew. The health care roots run deep in our family with daughter Cathy, granddaughters Lindsay and Michelle, sister-in-law Dawn and daughter in law Leigh in the nursing profession. Always one for adventure, mom went on to work for a number of years in the Federal service, delivering babies in Moose Factory Ontario, Inuvik and Whitehorse NWT. Her retirement years were spent loving her kids and grandchildren Drew, Lindsay, Michelle, Laura, Alex, Sam and Jaime and the most recent jewel in her crown, great grandson Waylon. Daughter-in-Iaws Leigh and Linda were loved like one of her own. Audrey’s travels and escapades are numerous, like the time she made fun of the guard at Lenin’s tomb, almost getting a nites’ stay in a Soviet jail. Music was in mom’s bones, from singing in choirs, playing the piano or dancing to Bob Seger....Audrey always said she wanted to come back as an entertainer and we know she’s auditioning with Benny Goodman. With stops in Hawaii, Japan, the British Isles, Sweden, Mexico, New Orleans mardi- gras and a trip to China in 2004 to visit her grandson Drew and his wife Zhou Linling (Olive), mom’s love of adventure and history inspired her family. Audrey also had a deep love for Canada and disappointed with the direction of successive eastern focused Federal governments, joined the early Reform movement with the highlite the election of and meeting and speaking with Preston Manning in his Leader of the Opposition ofÀce on Parliament Hill. Many of her friends and co-workers from those days will remember Audrey’s never-say-die optimism that one person could make a difference. And make a difference she did. Mom was our foundation, family picture/movie taker and story teller and she was so very proud of her family. Mom was predeceased by her husband Pat, sister Gerry, brother Harold and brother-in-law Wallace. Audrey’s candle burned bright and lit our way. Here’s to a life well lived. We love you Mom. No service by request. A celebration of life to be held at a later date. Donations may be made in Audrey’s honor to the Vernon Hospital Foundation. Thanks to all the care givers who made mom’s last months so comfortable. The Road Not Taken Robert Frost Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I marked the Àrst for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and II took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.
