Friends celebrating $1 million

HARVEST TIME

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Trying to keep a million-dollar secret has been extremely challenging for two Vernon residents. Della Mattson and Robert Jewitt matched all seven numbers on an Aug. 6 Lotto Max ticket, but they didn’t claim their $1 million jackpot at the B.C. Lottery Corporation office in Kamloops until Wednesday. “It’s been nerve-wracking. It’s unbelievable,” said Mattson. Collecting the cheque was delayed because Mattson sells lottery tickets at the Squires Four Liquor Store and the B.C. Lottery Corporation had to go through a process to ensure everything was done properly. They have been buying lottery tickets together for five years, and beyond the occasional $20 or free plays, nothing major had occurred until now. “It’s been pretty exciting,” said Jewitt of the big win. The winning numbers - 15 23 33 35 37 42 45 — were on a $5 Quick Pick ticket purchased at Hunter’s Store. With the cash now in hand, the 44-year-old Mattson didn’t waste any time in making some life-changing decisions. She has purchased a home and she has retired. “It’s enough to keep us comfortable,” she said of the $500,000 she’s pocketing, adding that her husband will keep his job at Lake City Casino. But there will be few changes for 62-year-old Jewitt, who has a fencing and landscaping business and drives the zamboni at Wesbild Centre. “By no means will there be retirement because I’m just splitting $500,000,” he said. “I may upgrade my work truck but it won’t be a new one.”

News Police identify drowning victim RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

The drowning death of a man in Oyama is generating questions. RCMP are trying to determine why Kelroy Munroe, 26, of Kelowna, jumped from a boat into Kalamalka Lake, near Kaloya Regional Park, Tuesday just before noon. “We’re still exploring that but the explanation we have received is he — Ann may have been retrieving sunglasses,� said Sgt. Rick McIsaac, with the Lake Country RCMP. McIsaac would not speculate on whether the man banged his head on the boat or why he was unable to resurface after jumping into the water. It’s not known if Munroe was wearing a lifejacket. “There’s no indication of that but there’s no requirement for swimming. The boat wasn’t operating at the time,� said McIsaac. After an initial attempt to find the man, the other occupants of the vessel called for help.

Besides the RCMP, those on scene also included members of the Vernon Search and Rescue unit and the Lake Country Fire Department. A side-scanning sonar and a remote controlled underwater vehicle equipped with a camera were utilized and Munroe was found in about 113 feet of water by late Tuesday afternoon. “Munroe’s family Morrison and friends are reeling from this tragedy and trying to deal with the loss of their loved one,� said Sgt. Ann Morrison, with RCMP media relations. The investigation involves the B.C. Coroners Service and the RCMP. “We continue to do follow up and interviews,� said McIsaac. Work Safe B.C. is also participating because the boat trip may have been a work-related activity. McIsaac has strong praise for the members of the Vernon Search and Rescue unit, saying their equipment and expertise brought the search to a quick resolution.

“Family and friends are reeling.�

He graduated from Lumby’s Charles Bloom Secondary School, and then attended Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops. “Brandon was a great all around guy,� said Angie Clowry, a family friend. “He was caring, charismatic and athletic. He was an amazing son, brother, grandson and uncle - and such a great friend. The Beday family would like to thank their family and friends for all of their support during this tragedy.�

Beday is also being mourned by his colleagues at B.C. Hydro. “Understandably, our focus is on fully supporting Brandon’s loved ones and colleagues and on investigating the fatality and we won’t speculate about the cause,� said Dave Hobb, B.C. Hydro chief executive officer, in a release. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones and this loss will be felt by all of us at B.C.

PNE reign a ‘life-changing event’

She remembers opening the Shrine Circus every night, touring the Show Mart building, going to many events,

of the events and they looked pretty smashing in their uniforms. I used to go down to the stalls to see them prepare the horses for the show,” said Beaumont. Her mother saved all of the pictures and Beaumont still has the

Diane Beaumont grew up in Vernon loving the outdoors, swimming and skiing with her friends. She had been to Vancouver once and had never been to the Pacific National Exhibition when she was crowned Miss PNE in 1962. Now, as the PNE celebrates its 100th anniversary, beginning Saturday, she recollects what it was like for a small-town girl to win the biggest pageant in the province. “I had always dreamed of going to the big city and it was so exciting to be staying at the Bayshore and meeting the girls from around the province,” said Beaumont, the daughter of Neil and Isabel Davidson. “It was a different time. We wore white gloves and pill-box hats. I remember wearing my white peau de soie graduation dress for some of the events. “There were 52 participants and I didn’t feel I had a hope so it was easy to relax and enjoy everything and have a good time.” Beaumont, who now lives in Vancouver, says she had very mixed feelings when she was selected. “I did not expect it.

She moved to Vancouver to attend UBC that year and married the next year. She has two daughters and three grandchildren. The rewards of having been Miss PNE continue as she has a lifetime pass to attend the PNE and often took her children and now her grandchildren. “We have had some reunions of the former Miss PNEs and it was wonderful to meet the other women. It was really a learning and growth experience and a very special time for me,” said Beaumont, who will take part in a number of PNE centennial events. “It was a wonderful, life-changing event for me for which I will be forever grateful.” She has fond memories of her home town and of being Queen Silver Star II.

Vintage vehicles hit the road BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff

When driving the more than 5,000 kilometres across Canada, most folks would choose a recently made vehicle, one capable of handling all types of weather and able to carry all the necessities. But that’s not necessarily the case for a group of auto enthusiasts who were hosted Tuesday by the North Okanagan chapter of the Vintage Car Club of Canada for lunch at the MotoPlex Speedway and Event Park on a coast-to-coast tour. The drivers, organized by the Vintage Car Club of Canada (VCCC), are part of the 2010 Classic Car Coastto-Coast Tour.

They’re all in cars at least 25 years old and are headed for the Lower Mainland, the end of the journey from Newfoundland. “We are definitely a big family,” said tour coordinator Fraser Field, who hails from DeRoche, B.C. and drives a 1969 Pontiac Bonneville station wagon that has been fashioned into an ambulance. “For two months, we all travel together, have dinner together, we’re all parked in the same campsites or motels. “We become friends forever.” Field and his wife left B.C. on May 28, met up with the group in Newfoundland and are finally returning home. “As I say, every day

is just a shorter tow bill if I break down,” Field said with a smile. “I’ve put on just under 14,000 miles.” North Okanagan VCCC chapter member Laurie Feniuk organized Tuesday’s lunch. She and husband Myron own a 1956 Cadillac convertible and found out about the 2010 cross-Canada tour while on a trip of their own a couple of years ago. “We heard they were coming through and we decided to have them here for friendship,” said Laurie as other members dished up chili, buns and drinks. “This is neat because most of them have camper trailers; they’ve been on the road for

six weeks. I can’t even imagine. “I wish I could have heard all the stories.” The North Okanagan VCCC members came out with their cars too. Cars like Field’s Pontiac were flanked by Chrysler Imperials and DeSotos, Buick McLaughlins and Ford Mustangs. Guy Weatherbee, a Vernon resident, brought his 1958 Ford Edsel. He bought the car two years ago and has since put thousands of hours and dollars into refurbishing it. The efforts paid off as the colonial white with gold trim glinted in the sunlight. “It was a mess when I bought it,” said

Weatherbee, 73, of the car which was located in Sarnia, Ont. through www.edsel.com. “I get in the garage and I can spend the whole day in there.” The former tugboat operator from Maple Ridge was able to restore the Edsel’s innovative feature that was ahead of its time in 1958: the steering-wheel mounted, push-button transmission. He says Edsels, which were only made from 1958 to 1960, are hard

to come by. “Everywhere I go, I never see another one.” The North Okanagan VCCC chapter is looking for new members and all are welcome regardless of car ownership. The group meets on the first Thursday of every month at 7:30 p.m. at Vernon’s Pantry restaurant. Anyone interested in the organization should call president Gary Handel at 250-5585304.

Other issues that will be considered in the study are Agricultural Land Reserve loss and governance. “Community identity and community fabric, although not part of any quantifiable study, should be explored within the

Poor market conditions have led to temporary curtailment of activities at two Tolko stud mills. The Armstrong mill and Soda Creek division in Williams Lake will shut for two weeks, beginning Monday. “This announcement does not reflect the effort and commitment of our workforce, but the difficult ongoing challenges of this market,” said Pat Donnelly, site manager of the Armstrong division. Approximately 315 employees are affected by these curtailments. Restart will be dependent on improved product demand. “We regret the impact on our employees and their families,” said Ryan Oliver, plant manager of the Soda Creek division. Vernon-based Tolko Industries is a major producer and marketer of lumber, veneer, plywood, oriented strand board, and kraft papers, with manufacturing operations across Western Canada.

Something to chew on

T

he Cost of Eating in B.C. 2009, subtitled Low-Income British Columbians Can’t Afford Healthy Food, is published by the Dietitians of Canada and the Community Nutritionists of B.C. Many reports with statistics don’t make very interesting reading but this one does because it doesn’t take much imagination to see these statistics as the people in our community. It shows the percentage of income required for shelter and food, in some cases as high as 134 per cent of income. Many of the example situations have people and families at the end of the month with nothing or a negative amount of as much as $200 Cara Brady that would be required for everything else if it was not taken out of the food budget. For most, not much can be taken out of the already limited food budget. There is a certain chilling impact as the statistics build up. Being statistics, they make no personal appeal; translated into human worry, scrambling to get by, children who won’t reach their full potential because of poor nutrition early in life, and sense of hopelessness, they are appalling. What is happening with that single parent with two children on income assistance who has $37 left over each month after shelter and food are paid for? Interestingly, and unfairly, it seems, the single man on disability assistance gets $949 per month while the single, older woman on income assistance gets only $649 for everything. The 2009 monthly cost of the nutritious food basket (not including any non-food or personal care items) for a family of four was $872. When the cost of housing, which should be about 30 per cent of household income, is considered, a family of four on income assistance would spend 107 per cent of their income for shelter and food, a family of four with low-wage income would spend 64 per cent of income while a family of

AT RANDOM

four with median income would spend 48 per cent of income for food and shelter. It adds up to a lot of people going without a lot of things — kids without proper lunches and clothes, people working at two or three jobs and still not being able to get ahead or even keep up. And, because they are not eating well, they are more likely to be sick, acutely and chronically, and die earlier. Transportation is another issue. People in rural areas must spend more to go shopping or for food that is brought to stores closer to them. By coincidence, the example of an isolated community used is that of Laxgalts’ap, an Indian reserve north of Terrace where I was a teacher long ago. It made me think about the children I taught then, who are adults with families of their own now, and wonder about how they were doing. I remember some well-cared-for families there and some who lived in shocking poverty. I wonder how things have changed. The report says “The most significant barrier to healthy eating is inadequate income.” It notes that while the cost of food has increased steadily since the annual report was first issued in 2001, the minimum wage in B.C. has not increased and remains at $8 per hour, the lowest in Canada and insufficient to bring a full-time, full-year wage earner above the poverty line. It is beyond the scope of the report to make specific suggestions but the writers look to the B.C. government for a comprehensive poverty reduction program with Quebec as an example. There are suggestions for what can be done at the community level and most of them are being done locally. While it is important to help people where they are now, it is also important to look ahead to a time when everyone can have the choice of good nutrition. Would our elected representatives care if we all insisted that they do something to reduce poverty, provide fair income assistance rates, raise the minimum wage, fund affordable housing, and legislate favourable tax policies for lowincome earners?

Canada’s refugee and immigration system is again being tested with the latest arrival of refugees from Sri Lanka. Do some have ties to the outlawed Tamil Tigers? Possibly. Are some refugee claims bogus and some justified? Possibly. It’s Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s job to sort them out and decide who can stay and who can’t. Under the previous system, the claims dragged out so long, claiming refugee status was a free pass into Canada, while thousands of immigrants followed the rules and waited their turn. Thankfully, the Conservatives have reformed the system which will soon make it possible to speed up decisions on refugee claims. But that’s just one change the federal government has to make. Another is to find a new location to house these claimants. They shouldn’t be locked up with criminals in Maple Ridge’s Fraser Regional Correctional Centre and Alouette Correctional Centre for Women. These places are already jam packed. Putting newcomers with already discontented prisoners is not fair to either side. Instead, a secure location outside the prison system is needed. Presumably, Ottawa, not B.C. taxpayers, is paying the cost for accommodating these people into these crowded joints. But we don’t know that – because Ottawa says virtually nothing about the case. What also has to change is the Stalinist manner in which the federal government treats such cases. The lack of information and accountability makes you wonder if the refugees chose the right country. — Maple Ridge News

Turning the tap on troubled waters

KEEP THE TRACK In response to A Vision for Polson Park I feel many people underestimate the value of the track oval. It is a safe closed area which many people use. I am part of the Vernon Track Club that uses the oval three times a week from April to August. Vernon has great athletes in this club who deserve at least to have the old oval if not a new proper track that improves our training. We have many athletes that have made tough standards to make it to Nationals this year in Ottawa and we have young athletes who will also go on to compete at the top level in B.C. and Canada. We need an oval to advance our skills and allow us to reach our potential. Currently Vernon is home to athletes that are ranked in the top three of the province. If the track were to be taken away where does Vernon suggest we train? It's not just the Vernon Track

product with bad water. The final insult is that we were immediately put on a boilwater advisory the moment that valve was pulled. My sister is looking at moving back to Vernon. When she asked about the water, I assured her that the poor water qual-

Club who uses the track. There are many people who take advantage of the closed in area not near vehicles to walk or bike with young children. Other people use it to train themselves whether it be competitive or simply just to achieve their own fitness goals. Vernon deserves to have a proper track of the right size and material. Until we get that the oval cannot be taken away from those who use it. Sarah Bailey PRAISE FOR ARTICLE Thanks for having the courage to tell Mr. Harnish's story. When we can see a person, instead of whatever judgement and assumptions we make when we see someone who is having challenges being economically successful, we are one step closer to compassion. Thanks for helping us see Mr. Harnish as a human instead of a 'problem'. I would love to see a regular feature in The Morning Star dedicated

ity issue in those areas of Coldstream and Vernon on Duteau Creek water was overly exaggerated. Now, I am eating those words, or rather, drinking them. Nor can I steer my sister to which areas to look for a dwelling, except places such as Predator, The Rise, or the new Sparkling

to getting to know community members who are struggling with similar challenges to Mr. Harnish. Laurel Ecmc FIRE DISPATCH If the regional district can save a few bucks by contracting its fire dispatch services to some outfit in the Fraser Valley, I'm all for it. But I'll bet there are dozens of call centres in India or Uzbekistan who could do it a lot cheaper. And with just a few training sessions, I'm sure their staff would even be able to figure out where Canada is on the map. D. Rollins MLA CONCERNS I met Eric Foster about fifteen years ago. I've not seen or spoken to him since. It's safe to say I don't really 'know' him. He gets a lot of press now that he is an MLA - a lot of it negative. Most of it hinges on "You said you were going to work for us if we elected you!" or some other similar

Hill Resort. Bet they don’t have yellow water. Hard to believe the politicians and their staff members have our best interests at heart in this change of our water source, when their own website GreaterVernon. ca states, “Duteau Creek is a very coloured source water which creates customer aesthetic and health concerns (THM's). Colour results from the presence of natural iron, humus, peat material and plankton.” Yummy! I certainly hope that the new plant on Duteau Creek will bring a marked improvement in that source’s water quality. If you really believe the sales job you are giving us that it will, then how about letting those neighbourhoods who have always had Kal Lake water have the Kal Lake source back and give the newcomers in the upscale developments the yellow stuff? Sounds more than fair and just to me. Brian McMahon

rant. The truth is an MLA does not work for you, not in our system of government. He or she is a member of a political party that has been elected to govern or to oppose those that do. Unless the member follows the party line, he or she will likely be sitting in the back bench as an independent with no party affiliation and hence, very little clout. That's not the best place for a member to work for his or her constituents and it's almost a certainty that that MLA will not be re-elected. What to do? At the next election, it's easy. All of the candidates will say they will work for you. But you know different now. Instead, look at the parties and the candidates. If you vote for your favourite party and if your favourite candidate represents that party, you're a winner. If not - well there's always next time. In the meantime you can say

"You said you were going to work for us if we elected you!" Wayne McLeod

lease pass on my lack of gratitude to whoever decided that we should get yellow water. We have lived on Corona Court for 15 years and have always had Kal Lake as our water source. One of the deciding factors, when we moved to this neighbourhood, was the water quality. The houses were small and a bit overpriced, but the bathtub has been usable, and we have rarely experienced water quality advisories. Now, with the turn of a valve, my property has been devalued. In what way? Well, my hot tub is useless, unless you like bathing in bubbly, warm urine. Forget taking a bath, as it is just too gross. As well, the high efficiency dual flush toilets that I was about to install to help out with our community’s water shortage concerns have been shelved until we are permanently returned to our Kal Lake water source.

Women’s centre seeks donations Morning Star Staff

Demand has spiked at the Vernon Women’s Centre, forcing a plea for public assistance. More than 217 women have sought out the services at the centre during the past month. “Due to the amount of women coming through the doors, the basic supplies the centre gives out at no cost are drastically low,” said Jody Furneaux, women’s project co-ordinator. Currently, donations of shampoo, conditioner, tampons, deodorant, razors, hairstyling products, laundry detergent, sugar and coffee whitener are being sought.

“Your contributions will make a difference in the life of a woman.” — Jody Furneaux “We accept new donations as well as items that have been partially used so it is a great opportunity to go through your bathroom cupboards and clean up to help out,” said Furneaux. “By taking action now, your contribu-

tion will make a difference in the life of a woman in your community.” The centre has been operating in Vernon for 34 years. “We offer a variety of programs and services including legal advocacy, women’s empowerment group sessions, laundry, practical and emotional support, information and referral,” said Furneaux. Donations can be dropped off at 3309 32nd Ave. between 10 a.m. and noon and 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (it is located next to Kiss FM Radio).

Fonyo released from jail after bail appears Black Press

Steve Fonyo’s storybook wedding to his fiance on the Victoria beach that bears his name can proceed after all. The 45-year-old former Vernon resident was released from jail earlier this week in Surrey after an unidentified benefactor put up the $20,000 bail in the wake of Fonyo’s arrest on credit card fraud charges. It’s the latest development in a rollercoaster year for Fonyo, who made a historic one-legged run across Canada for cancer research in 1985 and was awarded the Order of Canada – only to have the honour stripped this year amid continued trouble with the law. Fonyo and fiance Lisa Greenwood can now wed as planned at Fonyo Beach in Victoria on Aug. 28. It was there that Fonyo, who lost a leg to cancer at age 12, ended his epic cross-Canada journey that raised $13 million for cancer research. No travel restrictions were imposed, so the pair can even fly abroad for a honeymoon if they choose. Fonyo’s lawyer Mani Sandhu would not disclose who posted Fonyo’s bail. Fonyo’s next appearance on the fraud allegations is set for Sept. 13. He was arrested in early August for allegedly using a bogus credit card at a North Delta gas station three times. Fonyo, who has a lengthy criminal record, is facing trial on a number of other, unrelated matters that include alleged possession of stolen property, being in a stolen vehicle, driving while suspended and breach of probation. His well-publicized struggles with alcohol and cocaine resulted in the stripping of his

Order of Canada medal earlier this year. Greenwood herself finished serving a short

jail sentence for shoplifting last month. The first attempt at arranging a wedding for

Fonyo and Greenwood fell apart after a group of Vancouver Island businesses who offered

to cater the wedding learned about Greenwood’s conviction and pulled their

support. Since then, a retired florist from Saanich, Norma Fitzsimmons,

has stepped in to fill the gap with donations from other business owners.

Funds go towards Highway 97A Morning Star Staff

A portion of $42 million in savings in competitive bidding across B.C. will go towards highway upgrades in Enderby. The federal and provincial governments are contributing $2 million towards the current repaving of 14.5 kilometres of Highway 97 from Enderby to Springbend Road. The funding is available as the result of savings achieved through competitive bids on previously announced infrastructure stimulus initiatives. “Thanks to the healthy economic competition in our bidding processes, we are able to fund additional projects that will make our roads safer for our families and create jobs for British Columbians,” said Shuswap MLA George Abbott. The paving project is expected to be complete by Oct. 1. “We are pleased to partner with British Columbia on these highway improvement

projects that will lead to safer roads for residents

and visitors across the province,” said Chuck

Strahl, federal transport minister.

The impact of you

W

hen we share our loving kindness through our thoughts, behaviours and actions we are making a difference in our world and the world of others. It ripples out around the globe. The energy of our mind moves outward and attaches to someone or some situation that needs positive energy at that moment in time. This moving mass of energy called our bodies and minds are impactful each and every day in all situations we may encounter. I believe that even in our sleep we are energysharing with our universe. Traditionally speaking, energy could be likened to Carole Fawcett prayer. Prayer is directed energy, hence the miracle of prayer chains. Prayerful energy must be sent without judgment and with purity of soul to have the desired effect. So what have you done today that has created a positive energy exchange for either yourself or for someone else? As you read this, go inward and review your own personal energy exchanges. Or, if you believe you haven’t done anything yet today, what could you do to create a positive experience? Keep it simple, remembering that everything you do makes an impact. Smiling at someone, buying them a cup of coffee, helping someone with grocery shopping, sending a card to say, “Hi”, donating your time or money or “stuff ” to a nonprofit. The list is long and the options are varied. Positive energy equals positive experience. It’s really not that complicated. In fact, it’s amazingly simple. If you live with and send out positive energy, it will give you courage to face adversity and help you to go about your life with confidence. We know that our focus rules the degree of satisfaction we experience in our life. If we focus on the “lack of,” we will be more aware of that. If we focus on the “abundance,” we will be more aware of that. It’s about awareness and where we choose to visit with our minds energy. That’s where the choice lies. It’s not about having more or having less. It is about sharing what we have with others. If we don’t have much in a material sense, then we can share the best thing of all, ourselves. The basic minimum to live in this world is a roof over our head, food on the table and enough money to feel we can live with dignity. If you have more than the minimum and are in a position to share with others, it is likely you do. It is rare to find someone whose life is full of abundance being less than generous with those whose lives are not. Individually and collectively we can and do make a difference with our own personal focus in life. We can choose to make generosity of mind, soul and body our personal never-ending energy quest.

The energy we give away, no matter what form it takes, will always make its way back to us. That is the wonderful impact of you. Aren’t you amazing?

Speed Watch seeking volunteers Morning Star Staff

The Speed Watch program is looking for volunteers throughout the North Okanagan. The purpose of Speed Watch is to increase the level of awareness surrounding unsafe speed and dangerous driving by informing motorists about how fast they are actually travelling. “Trained volunteers use digital speed reader boards and a radar unit and concentrate on areas where speeding has been observed and reported,” said Warren Smith, rural programs co-ordinator for the RCMP Safe Communities Unit. “Registered owners of speeding vehicles are sent information letters advising them that they have been observed and recorded and encouraged to be mindful of their speeds. Volunteers

also concentrate on school zones in order to keep these areas in the minds of the motoring public.” Working in teams of two, volunteers receive training in the operations of the equipment and statistical reporting. The program operates during daylight hours only. “We are presently looking for volunteers to participate in the Speed Watch program in the areas of Coldstream, Lumby, Enderby, Armstrong, Spallumcheen and Vernon,” said Smith. To apply, you must be more than 19 years of age, have a clean driving record, and pass an RCMP enhanced security screening process. Application forms are available at either the Vernon commu-

Vernon Parks and Recreation lifeguard Laura Hitchen shows Charley Moir, four, how to do up the brand new life-jacket she recently won at Kal Beach. Moir is one of two winners being awarded with the new flotation devices for taking part in a Red Cross swim lessons colouring contest.

Contest targeting safety Morning Star Staff

Winners of a Vernon Recreation Centre colouring contest, Jillian Vaux and Charley Moir recently received life-jackets as prizes at Kal Beach. The contest was part of a Red Cross initiative in high-risk areas for drowning. All the colouring projects are now on display at the Vernon Rec Centre pool. Vaux, 10 and Moir, four, were given life-jackets for their artistic skills from lifeguards Amy Volpatti and Laura Hitchen who know just how important it is for youngsters to be safe on the water. “We scan a pool within 15 to 30 seconds and a child can drown in 12 seconds,” said Hitchen, adding that while life-jackets help, there is no substitute for adult supervision. “Just because your child is in a life-jacket doesn’t mean they can’t drown.” The life-jackets come as a reward for Vaux and Moir but serve a useful reminder to all families who go to the

beach or pool to beat the summer heat. A recent Red Cross report on drownings shows the highest percentage of accidents among children occur in large bodies of water so parental supervision and wearing a life-jacket are key. Hitchen says she sees more lifejackets included with families at the beach or pool but they’re not always put to use. “I think you see more people bringing flotation devices but not always using them,” she said, adding a life-jacket should be done up snugly around the chest and should not push up to the ears if it fits properly. To help deliver the message, signs are going to be posted at Kalamalka Lake reminding people that “lifejackets save lives” and to “watch you children around water at all times.” Funds for the signs were raised by Victoria’s Rob Dyke who became the first person to swim the 1,400 kilometres around Vancouver Island.

Crampton nests with Cardinals GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff

Hailey Crampton can grind out a point with the best of them. Only now she doesn’t always have to. The evolution of the Vernon tennis star’s game is such that she can choose to finesse opponents, or bury them with ground-stroke warfare. “I used to be a really defensive player. I didn’t have a lot of weapons when I was younger, and I’d just be out there grinding, trying to force errors out of an opponent,” said Crampton, a Seaton grad. “But I’ve advanced to more of a placement player so I can dictate more and win points.” Crampton’s improved tactical game recently earned her a scholarship with the Saginaw Valley State University Cardinals, an NCAA Division 2 school based in University Centre, Mich. Last November, she produced a video highlight package showcasing her ground strokes, service game and match points, and sent it off to prospective schools. After engaging in talks with various coaches, she narrowed her selection down to a final three before settling on Saginaw Valley. “It was a really good offer financially. It’s not just athletic money, it’s academic too, so if something happens with tennis, if I get injured or something, I always have the academic to fall back on,” she explained. Crampton, one of three Canadians on the women’s team, will head to Michigan later this month to attend a two-week training camp before school starts. It will also be an evaluation as she will be battling to earn a place on the Cardinals’ starting six. “If you don’t make the top six, you practise with the team and constantly challenge for the top six,” said Crampton. “If you’re not playing well, you could lose your spot. It’s a team thing, but it’s competitive too.” Crampton has stayed on top of her game this summer by playing a string of five consecutive tournaments, including a trio of events in Washington State – Wenatchee, Yakima and Walla Walla. With the scholarship out of the way, Crampton said it was satisfying to just focus on playing good tennis. “I made a lot of finals and I had some tough matches against some top seeds,” said Crampton. “It was nice this year because I didn’t have to worry about ranking as much. “Last year, we made a lot of trips to the coast and spent a lot of money to get the ranking up.” At age 11, Crampton began training with Vernon’s Birgit Gruner, a German-born professional who has been coaching in Vernon for the last 14 years. Gruner said it is easy to see the progress Crampton has made. “She developed a lot. I can see right away she improved her serve and also... the mental (game), she took a big step forward,” said Gruner. “At the beginning, the girls are a little bit shy and too careful, but now she’s aggressive and self-confident.” Crampton also trains with Vernon’s Murray Bennetto and Penticton-based Robert Bettauer, recently named CEO for the Pacific Institute for Sports Excellence (PISE) in Victoria. Bettauer, a former Davis Cup coach who has done courtside commentary for TSN at the Rogers Cup for the last 13

Vernon’s Hailey Crampton gets low for a backhand return during a training session with retired German pro Birgit Gruner. years, began working with Crampton at regional high performance camps four years ago. “She is an example of a player who has taken her skill and brought it to another level through effort,” said Bettauer, who also served as executive of player development for Tennis Canada for 10 years. “She took advantage of the expertise in the area and she really applied that information and changed her game.” Crampton also learned a lot from team coach Chris Santoso at the National Women’s Under 18 Tennis Championships last year in Trois Rivieres, Que.

“He worked with us throughout the whole week training. Even though we were actually playing a tournament, he found the time to give us lessons,” said Crampton, adding the tournament itself provided a big learning curve. “It was just a really good experience seeing the top players in Canada.” In addition to being an outstanding student, Crampton is also an accomplished figure skater, volleyball player and musician, playing both the trumpet and guitar. “I love the ukulele, but I’m not that good yet,” she grinned.

Goodchild steers surveyors to victory Morning Star Staff

Irish product Rodney Goodchild scored twice as Monashee Surveying doubled Concept Physio 4-2 in North Okanagan Men's Soccer League action Wednesday night at Marshall Field #2. Monashee finished sixth at 6-10 and open the playoff round Sunday night versus thirdplace Nation of Domination Eagle Homes (10-3-3) in Salmon Arm. Goodchild opened the offence in the first half with a shot two feet off the ground which ricocheted off defender Mark Wasylyk's toe into the net past keeper Riley Spraggs. Concept striker Enzo Paal converted his own rebound and beat Monashee keeper Colin McDonell to equalize early in the second half. Goodchild connected on a hip-high blast from just inside the 18-yard line to put Monashee up 2-1. Alberto Lopez twisted and turned with the ball at the top of the 18 before spinning and burying a low corker to make it 3-1 Surveyors. Jordan Bell beat McDonell with a cheeky chip from 25 yards out on a play started by a strong run from Paal. Chandler Brandle took a cross from Goodchild and found the net from eight yards out for the final Monashee goal. Concept finished eighth at 2-14 and will go up against the first-place Revelstoke Stallions Sunday night at Queen Elizabeth Park. In other action, Eagle Homes clipped the Davidson & Co. Dynamite of Vernon 1-0. In a game that saw play go back and forth with fairly equal play, in the end, it was a controversial penalty kick that decided things.

With about 15 minutes left in the second half, Eagle Homes forwards pressed on a long through ball which became a foot race with Dynamite keeper Ean Ross. Ross slid and seemingly got the ball first but would have slid out of the 18-yard box, so he released the ball. The NOD forward arrived about the same time and fell over Ross. From referee Mark Hopkins' point of view, Ross contacted the NOD forward first and awarded the penalty kick. Dynamite players thought Hopkins was calling Ross on a hand ball outside the 18. The Dynamite placed seventh at 5-10-1 and face the second-place North Enderby Timber (10-2-4) Sunday (6 p.m.) at Marshall Field #4 in first-round playoff action. Courvas of Salmon Arm tripped up visiting Vernon Turn-Key Controls 3-1 at Blackburn Park. Cameron Egan showed up 10 minutes into the first half to bring Turn-Key up to 11 players, and proceeded to strip the Courvas keeper and equalize after an opening Courvas goal. Jeremy Kler was outstanding in goal, making many tremendous saves to keep the score 1-1 at halftime. In the second half, Courvas scored two late goals against a weary Turn-Key team. Turn-Key (8-7-1) had secured fifth place before the game and got out of the game with their goal of no injuries or yellow cards and will play the defending Gibson Cup champion Courvas Sunday night in Salmon Arm. Courvas ended up fourth at 10-3-3. The Gibson Cup semifinals go Wednesday night with the highest remaining seeds hosting games. The championship game is set for Sunday, Aug. 29 at Marshall.

Vipers headline Hall’s wish list Morning Star Staff

Former Vernon Viper Mark Hall is looking for a new home. After spending the last three seasons with the Kamloops Blazers, the 20-year-old forward asked to be released by the Western Hockey League organization. Realizing he would be hard pressed to secure one of the three overage roster spots with the Blazers, the hardhitting winger felt his best option would be a return to junior A hockey. “We had a good chat and I expressed where he was at,” Blazers’ general manager Craig Bonner told the Kamloops Daily News Tuesday. “I was honest with him and said he was going to be in tough. He was a man about it and decided he should pursue junior A . . . I respect his decision.”

BLACK PRESS SPORTS

Kamloops Blazers’ veteran Mark Hall, a 20-year-old forward, is looking to play his final year of junior hockey in the B.C. Hockey League. Hall’s junior A rights are held by the AJHL’s Canmore Eagles, however, the Kamloops product said he would

prefer to play closer to home in the B.C. Hockey League. “I’m not going to rule it (Canmore) out

totally, but it’s definitely not in my top three,” Hall told the Daily News, adding a return to the Vipers would be at the top of his list. The Vipers already have four returning 20-year-olds from last year’s national championship squad – defencemen Stevie Weinstein and Adam Thompson, and forwards Dave Robinson and Bryce Kakoske – leaving just two 20-year-old roster spots. While Vipers’ GM/ head coach Mark Ferner didn’t rule out the possibility of bringing Hall back to Vernon, he added there are other 1990-born players available that wouldn’t require him to make a trade. “We don’t own his rights, so it’s out of our hands right now,” said Ferner. “We don’t know what they plan on doing with him.”

Hall, who fled the Vipers for the Blazers midway through the 2006-07 season, played 164 regular-season games with Kamloops, totaling 25 points, including 11 goals, and 139 penalty minutes. Meanwhile, the Vipers open training camp Wednesday, Aug. 25. Their pre-season schedule includes a pair of games against the Trail Smoke Eaters in Chase on Friday, Aug. 27 and Saturday, Aug. 28. The Snakes wrap up their exhibition schedule with a homeand-home series against the Salmon Arm SilverBacks, staring Friday, Sept. 3 at Wesbild Centre. They visit the Gorillas Saturday, Sept. 4 at Sunwave Centre. Vernon opens the regular season by hosting the ‘Backs Saturday, Sept. 10 at Wesbild.

Two goals by Jacquie Hansen led Dr. Lee Dental/Checkers to a 3-1 victory over the North Enderby Timber Celtics in North Okanagan Women' Soccer Association Competitive Division action Monday night at Marshall Field #2. Kelsey Halvorson added a single, set up nicely by Margo Fleming. Ashley Krause made numerous saves in the Celtics' net, while Lisa Arrotta got the win as Dr. Lee went to 12-5. The Celtics dipped to 5-13. The Little Tex Outlaws won by default over the Venom to finish the year at 15-1-2, tops in the division. The Venom finished at 0-18. The Competitive Division playoffs go this weekend with just Dr. Lee, the AF Blazers, Celtics and the Fusion entered. The Outlaws and TED United of Salmon Arm are not in due to depleted lineups with university players leaving town. On Saturday at 11 a.m. (all games at Marshall), Fusion battle the Blazers, while Dr. Lee takes on the Celtics. At 2:30 p.m., it is the Blazers versus the Celtics, and Dr. Lee versus the Fusion. In Sunday action, the Celtics tangle with the Fusion at 11 a.m., while Dr. Lee square off against the Blazers at 2:30 p.m. The team with the most points takes the title. In Masters Division season-ending play, the Tillicum Controllers finished with a 1-1 draw Tuesday night against Monashee's at Marshall #4. A win with help (loss or tie by NOU) would have given Tillicum fourth spot. "Not bad for a team that lost a veteran leader and valuable member Tarra Head," said coach Doug Macdonald. With regular keeper Michelle Embleton unable to go for Tillicum, Monashee's opened with a goal by Tori Haller 10 minutes in. Tillicum keeper Leslie Epp had no chance on the shot. Later in the half, Jacquie Nuyens hit top corner, far post, on a long drive, to tie the game. A strong back line of Jody Pope, Val

Celtics' defender Heidi Holtman (left) steals possession from Jen Spitzer of Dr. Lee Dental/ Checkers in women's Competitive Division soccer action Tuesday night at Marshall Field #2. Percy, and Brandie Hunter allowed few chances, but when needed, Epp shut down Monashee's. Sarah Glen was a dominate force at midfield, owning the ball all night long, despite a halftime bee sting. "Full credit to Monashee's (0-12-3), they are constantly improving and are a team to be reckoned with in the future," added Macdonald. "Tillicum Controllers finish with a much improved record over last year (6-7-3) with a play-hard, have-fun attitude." The Vernon Liquor Store North Okanagan United and Salmon Arm Merlot also battled to a 1-1 draw at Marshall #5. Sue Barss was brilliant in the NOU net, using high vertical jumps to make some great snatches throughout the game. Said veteran United sweeper Shelly Johnston: "All in all, a good game by the whole NOU crew. Great chatter. Great Teamwork. Great end to the year." Rita Tedesco scored for United (6-5-4) off a high corner cross she ran to the opposite post to drive past the Merlot keeper. Centre midfielder Teresa Collins distributed the ball well, while strikers Char McNaught, Tania Willet and (Lean) Lena Dean turned in some superb attacks. M.J. Stapleton and Penney CreboDolman supported Johnston in chasing

down loose balls, and stopping the 4-8-3 Merlot rushes. The Goplen Drillers tied the host Shuswap Kaos 2-2 in their final game of the season. Kaos, with only one shot on net, scored in the first half. Kelly Megyesi replied with the 10-3-2 Drillers' first goal, a superb shot from her centre half position. The Kaos keeper was instrumental in keeping the Driller offence at bay with several key saves. A scramble in the second half resulted in a goal for the 4-9-2 Kaos. The Drillers worked hard but failed to capitalize until the final minutes of the game when Glenda Hatten crossed the ball into the mouth of the net where Shelley Zupp headed the ball into the net for the equalizer.

New Year’s for Rockets

All downhill for Hogelie

Rockets Web

Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Regan Hogelie is riding high on Cycling B.C.’s downhill mountain bike scene. Hogelie is currently ranked third in the senior men’s division (ages 19-29) and has raced in all of the B.C. Cup races this season. The B.C. Cup Finals go Sunday, Aug. 29 at Kicking Horse Resort near Golden. Most recently, and perhaps most impressively, the 19-year-old placed fourth out of 75 competitors in the Air Downhill race Wednesday at Crankworx in Whistler. After crashing four times in Sunday’s Garbonzo Downhill Race, and settling for 28th overall, Hogelie wanted to turn in a better result. He added a 10th-place finish in the Canadian Open Race last Sunday, shading his previous best 14th-place finish last year. Hoglie opened the 2010 circuit with a silver in the Race the Ranch in Kamloops, and has since had a fourth-place showing at the Turner DHR downhill in Nanaimo, and 12th at the Bear Mountain race in Mission. Hogelie is sponsored by Skyride Cycle, Rocky Mountain, Fox Suspension. He also gets a lot of help from his big brother, Chance.

Sports Steel brothers bank silver at Westerns

GREAT GLOVE

Morning Star Staff

Vernon's Steel brothers helped the Ridge Meadows Royals strike silver in the Western Canadian Midget AA Baseball Championships last weekend in Newton. The B.C. champions bowed 4-3 to Saskatchewan in the final Sunday afternoon. Jordan Steel earned MVP for his pitching skills the day before where he pitched a seven-inning, norun game. "We are very happy to have been given a second chance at the Westerns after being part of the Vernon team that went a few years ago and we lost all our games," said Jordan. Added Tyler: "It was a great experience and we had a great bunch of guys for teammates, a fantastic billet family, and had a great time, and played a lot of ball. What more could you ask for?" The Royals were 3-1 in round robin play, and won their semi-final game to advance to the final with Saskatchewan. The Royals took an early 2-0 lead in the final before Saskatchewan tied things up and pulled ahead 3-2. Ridge rallied to tie the game 3-3, only to have Saskatchewan pull ahead once again. “The team did excellent all weekend long,” said Ridge Meadows coach Gord Easton. “The battled hard and every kid on the team played a role.” Tyler Steel has a week to rest up and get ready for his next fight in earning the second goalie spot at the Vernon Vipers camp starting Wednesday. His little brother Jordan, 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, will be following in his footsteps as he attempts to also break a junior B lineup this season.

News Council questions policy

MAD ABOUT BUGS

JESSICA SCHWITEK Morning Star Staff

Spallumcheen councillors are concerned that the proposed regional growth strategy policy recommendations do not reflect the community. “We think a more generic document would be more preferable. It’s just too specific, and too limiting,” said Mayor Will Hansma, adding that certain points made him worry about Spallumcheen losing its autonomy. Many of the recommendations, including environmental and water strategies, are not practical for a rural community like Spallumcheen with no downtown core, said Hansma. And the language in the document in unnecessarily complicated.

“It’s an overwhelming document, and it doesn’t need to be that way,” said Hansma. “It’s hard to wrap our minds around it.” Regional growth strategy co-ordinator Anthony Kittel, who was present at the committee of the whole

meeting where the document was discussed, will be going back and modifying some of the recommendations to create a more practical policy. “We’re hoping for a re-worked version by mid-September,” said Hansma.

Morning Star Staff

Passenger numbers at Kelowna International Airport are on a steady incline for 2010. The passenger count is currently 2.64 per cent ahead of 2009 and less than one per cent behind the all-time high numbers achieved in 2008. “We are really pleased with this growth,” said airport director Sam Samaddar. “This past month was our busiest July in history, with 122,965 passengers —a 5.42 per cent increase over July 2008’s 116,638 passengers. “Currently, we are sitting at 811,725 passengers which is right on target to meet the 1.6 million passengers by 2015.” YLW is working on its Drive to 1.6 Million Passenger program and a phased approach to expanding the airport terminal to better serve the needs of those passengers. The Drive to 1.6 program includes a new transboarder departures facility, upgrade to the outbound baggage system, new domestic arrivals and departures in the concourse, which will all take place between 2011 and 2016.

Everything You Need For...

More shadows in fantasy garden

I

t took Bill Vander Zalm about an hour to whip up a new conspiracy theory after the decision by Elections B.C. to wait for the courts to rule on his petition against the harmonized sales tax. The dapper Delta shrub merchant squinted through his shades at the media arrayed around him in Vancouver and insinuated that the Chief Electoral Officer is in the tank for Premier Gordon Campbell and his business buddies. Not in so many words, of course. That could cause Vander Zalm’s already impressive legal bills to grow further. So his statements were carefully calculated to trash an independent office on the level of the auditorgeneral, and its interim occupant, veteran legislative clerk Craig James. “James is opening the door for any group opposed to a citizen initiative to thwart the democratic will of the people simply by launching a challenge to that petition in court,” Vander Zalm proclaimed in a press release from his antiHST boiler room. “It is outrageous, and reeks of political interference by the government and their friends in big business, and we are not going to allow it.” A later press release adopts the tone of royalty: “We have lost confidence that the Chief Electoral Officer can be relied upon to carry out his duties faithfully and impartially.” Zalm then tried to elbow aside this fallen

angel and proceed on behalf of Her Majesty himself, presenting Canada’s first successful initiative petition to the designated committee of the B.C. legislature. Alas, Zalm’s legal advice is off the mark once again: there is no time limit specified to submit the petition. Elections B.C. is proceeding cautiously in Tom Fletcher uncharted legal waters while the B.C. Supreme Court considers two HST cases, including one from Zalm himself. Here’s one obvious point to illustrate that this corruption allegation is insulting nonsense. If Campbell wanted to stall the petition, he could simply do it in the legislature. No need to subvert trusted officials of the provincial Crown. Of course this is just the latest addition to Zalm’s overstuffed clown car of conspiracies. Stumping against the HST, he claimed that world-government plotters invented global warming to advance their vast scheme, and now they’re doing the same thing with consumption taxes and (gasp) a trade agreement between Canada and the European Union. This all plays well with hardcore Zalmoids, who would have been pleased to hear of Campbell’s invitation to the secretive Bilderberg conference, held this year in Spain. Other Canadian invitees were former New Brunswick premier Frank McKenna and CBC anchorman Peter Mansbridge, so

clearly there’s a planetwide conspiracy. This is all entertaining, and chants of “recall, recall” will be heard for months to come. Zalm’s field generals first issued and then retreated from a deadline of Nov. 15 to start “total recall.” Now they’re looking at springtime. This is a

sign that the clown car is running low on gas. Voters should remember what Zalm is really demanding. Repeal a federal law, reinstate the provincial sales tax bureaucracy and repay every additional dime collected under the HST. A nightmare of service cuts would surely

ensue. The costs of this lunacy haven’t even been calculated, since everyone, even the supposedly anti-tax NDP, knows it’s a fantasy garden. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Stompin’ Tom Connors stomps and sings about Canada when he plays the Wesbild Centre Tuesday.

If a cultural icon that symbolizes this country exists, it would have to be the man they call Stompin’ Tom Connors. With his trademark guitar, black hat, and that worn-out wooden board he uses to stomp on to keep time to the music, the 74-year-old musician has written songs that represent all facets of our nation –– from our passion for hockey, to Saturday nights in the nickel town of Sudbury, to the mighty fine potatoes of P.E.I. Connors is headed to this neck of the woods, with his first western tour in six years, and will be joined by Calgary’s Tim Hus, a fellow cowboy bent on Canadiana music, at Vernon’s Wesbild Centre Tuesday. With at least 25 albums under his belt, and more mileage on his speedometer than almost every MP in this country, Connors still drives everywhere he goes. In the 46th year of his music career, the New Brunswick-born musician overcame a life of poverty and hard knocks to become the revered recording artist he is today. After leaving his adoptive family in Skinners Pond, P.E.I. to hit the road at the tender age of 13, Connors’ first official gig came many years later at a hotel in Timmins, Ont., where legend has it he was a nickel short for a glass a beer, and the bartender asked him to play a few songs in exchange for a cold one. That turned into a regular gig, and the rest, as they say, is history. Since then, Stompin’ Tom has written more than 150 songs about Canada. Classics such as Sudbury Saturday Night, Bud the Spud, Margo’s Got the Cargo, and of course, The Hockey Song, which may have

never reached the top of the Canadian music charts, but is known and loved by many in this country. The Toronto Musicians Union recently awarded Stompin’ Tom their Lifetime Achievement Award and 50-year membership pin to add to his list of accolades, which also include officer of The Order of Canada, the Queen’s Jubilee Medal, The Governor General’s Performing Arts Award, and SOCAN’s Lifetime Achievement Award. He is also the recipient of three doctorates –– from St. Thomas University in Fredericton, the University of Prince Edward Island in Charlottetown and the University of Toronto. And he was recently immortalized in his very own Canadian postage stamp. There are also Juno awards, however, Connors’ frustration with Canadian musicians living south of the border while collecting awards in this country prompted him to return six of his Junos in 1979. He then launched a one-year boycott of radio and other media in protest of their lack of support in supporting Canadian material, and didn’t return to performing until 1988, when he launched a new label focused on Canadiana with the album Fiddle and Songs. Since voted as the top Canadian artist in 2004 by the CBC’s Greatest Canadian contest, Connors has also written two autobiographies –– the first of which, Before the Fame, was a No. 1 best-seller. At the end of 2008, he released one of his most critically acclaimed albums ever, The Ballad of Stompin’ Tom, of which there is also a very popular theatrical play about his life. Stompin’ Tom Connors performs at the Wesbild Centre in Vernon Tuesday at 8 p.m. Tickets are $59, available at the Ticket Seller box office, 549-7469, www. ticketseller.ca.

#ATCH THE LAST DANCE WITH 3TRAWBERRY *AM 3ATURDAY KRISTIN FRONEMAN

Morning Star Staff

More than a few locals have ingested a little Strawberry Jam with their “Donkaccinos.� A regular fixture at Vernon’s Talkin’ Donkey coffee house, local band Strawberry Jam have been known to get caffeine-laden patrons up and dancing to their funk-rock leanings. About to headline their last dance, this time at the Coldstream Women’s Institute Hall Saturday, the jammers want to say farewell in fine fashion, and have asked band Clayvious to join them. “This is our last show with this configuration,� said Orion Miller, who shares songwriting, vocal and guitar duties with band mate Tristan Charbonneau. “Although we’ve spent the summer steadily playing at the Talkin’ Donkey, we’ve moved to the Coldstream hall for our last show as it’s a bigger venue and

we want to kick off the season by doing something different.� Strawberry Jam has gone through a few different incarnations since Miller and Charbonneau, both W.L. Seaton Secondary School grads, started performing together five years ago. The band has recently added keyboard player Marina Durham and drummer Connor Johnson, who join Caren Miller (Orion’s mom) on hand drums/percussion and vocals, and bassist Neil Graham, who has really added to the band’s sound. “He really likes slap bass, and is a fan of (Sly & the Family Stone’s) Larry Graham,� said Miller. “Our music is hard to categorize. I’d say it’s acoustic funk-rock... It’s an original sound and it’s definitely danceable.� And the music will live on after Strawberry Jam’s last dance Saturday. Miller, Graham and Johnson are about

to head off to the Kootenays to attend the prestigious music program at Selkirk College in Nelson. “Last fall I started at Selkirk as a good musician, and I came out even better,� said Miller who plans to either travel or move to a larger centre to concentrate on his music when he graduates next spring from the two-year program. The Vernon-based musicians also plan to perform as a trio while in Nelson, and even have a gig booked the first day of school. “We call ourselves Sound-Splash! and we just recorded our debut CD live, which we did before the summer in Nelson,� said Miller. Strawberry Jam plays an all-ages dance at the Coldstream Women’s Institute Hall, 9909 Kalamalka Rd., Saturday. Music starts at 7 p.m. with opening act Clayvious. Tickets are $5, available at the door or in advance by calling 250-558-0933.

MC emerges from shadows Immaculate – My Tall Shadow

T

he fluid and self-assured presence of Vernon rapper/ hip hop artist Immaculate is announced on Initiation, an introduction and proclamation that soon settles into its own wordy groove with the rest of Immaculate’s first album, Dean Gordon-Smith My Tall Shadow. Recorded in Vernon with producer/arranger Eric Lowry, handling the beats and keys, Immaculate, or Julian Wolansky in his other life, embraces the DIY ethic of hip hop, and the collaborative spirit of the genre. The super-smooth track Making My Way features the signifying “w” integral to rap and hip hop productions, and Tassnata and Jaclyn Gee add texture to Immaculate’s confessional song. His rapid-fire delivery indicates a natural groove at work, and his clean wordplay is unadorned by effects, imparting a live intimate attack that dials up the presence knob. The fiery throwdown of More gives little clue to

Immaculate, aka Julian Wolansky, with producer/beats maestro Eric Lowry, casts a light on the local hip hop scene with new CD, My Tall Shadow. Immaculate’s influences, sticking to passion and spontaneity as guiding lights. The inspiration of Canadian rapper Classified, an Immaculate role model, is heard on Lit Up. Both Immaculate and collaborator Lowry favour semi-traditional beats and hooks that spotlight the dialogue and raps. Camaraderie, w/ Furthermore, is blunt and urgent with the rappers in your face, and this could be matched with more grit and dirt on the backing track.

hypnotic. That tight performance is matched in intensity and originality by the spooky melody of Us and Them. The contrast between the tinkling hook and the bluster of Immaculate’s collaboration with Young Catalyst is unlikely but successful. Chances are taken and creative satisfaction is achieved. The duo of Immaculate and Lowry find their performance/ arrangement peak with A Glimpse –– a haunting and retiring track that references biographical events and aspirations in a futuristic framework. The inspired verbal torrents of Exit Wounds casts a strong light on the emerging hip hop community.

Caetani jazz adds a touch of class international recognition as well as a steadily growing fan base. This will be one of the last chances to see the guitar trio before members Stefan Raupach, Daniel Favell and Johan Linghor move down to the coast in September. The Amanda Morazain Duo opens the evening, bringing a fresh synergy to jazz vocals and piano with a classy, professional performance. As a duo, Kelowna vocalist Morazain and pianist Hugh Parson provide a full sound both vocally and instrumentally.

Enjoy some delicious music with a catered picnic Morning Star Staff

A touch of class has been added to the Caetani Jazz Picnic this year. James and the Country Gentlemen are headlining the event Saturday where guests are invited to bring their lawn chairs and picnic baskets for the evening. To add that special touch, ticket holders can order their picnic in advance through Gumtree Catering, which is offering a selection of speciality sandwiches, beverages and other goodies to package into a tailormade picnic box. “We are really pleased to offer guests the opportunity of enhancing their evening’s experience by having their dinner ready and waiting for them” said Judy Katalinic, executive director of the Caetani Cultural Centre. “It would make a wonderful surprise romantic night out for someone

Morazain recently released her debut album, Pathway, which was nominated for Best Jazz Album of the Year at the 2009 B.C. Interior Music Awards. Gates for the jazz picnic open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $10, available at the Bean Scene on 30th Avenue, Bean to Cup on 32nd Street, and the Caetani Cultural Centre, 3401 Pleasant Valley Rd.

The Wine Women and Woods Committee and Home Building Centre is collecting new or gently used bras for Treasured Chests.

Bras help build support Morning Star Staff

Bras of all colours and sizes were flying at Home Building Centre as representatives from HBC and the Wine, Women and Woods golf tournament committee gathered to kick off this popular fundraiser for breast cancer detection and research. The theme this year is “Treasured Chests — building support for the community and bridging the gap between cancer and cure.” Local residents have until Sept. 10 to bring in a new or gently treated bra and purchase a $5 raffle ticket which gives them a chance to win a $4,000 Spaberry hot tub or a $250 Hitachi drill. At the end of the month, the bras will be donated to various

charities such as Transition House, the street nurse program and Teen Junction. The annual Wine, Women and Woods takes place Sept. 10 and 11 at Vernon Golf and Country Club. This year all funds raised through the tournament and the HBC Treasured Chests raffle will be put towards the purchase of a digital Faxitron machine for Vernon Jubilee Hospital. The only other Faxitron unit in the province is in Vancouver. A digital Faxitron is a state-of-the-art X-ray machine that is a small stand-alone unit which allows doctors to X-ray small pieces of breast tissue independent of the mammography procedure. This means that the patient can remain in position throughout

the entire procedure. This leads to a more accurate biopsy, which can be performed more expediently and efficiently. Support for this cause, whose goal is a future without breast cancer, can be made in a variety of different ways. There are still a few spots available for players wishing to play in the tournament and online donations can be made on the website, www. winewomenandwoods.com, which contains up-to-date information regarding player registration, sponsorship opportunities and events such as the popular Friday evening Jazz it Up for the Cure. For further information contact chairman Dee Paterson at deepaterson@shaw. ca or 250-549-6000.

Silver Star village showcases local artisans this weekend Morning Star Staff

Silver Star’s village will be in full bloom this weekend as it hosts its first ever Wildflower Craft Fair Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and features local artisans. “We have so much great local talent, it’s nice to be able to get them up to Silver Star and showcase their talents,” said Ian Galbraith, summer operations manager for the resort. “The wildflowers are in full bloom at this time of year, so we thought the name was appropriate.” Some of the local artisans on hand this weekend include DWF Gallery Hardwood Designs, Dressed ‘N-Case, Recycled Accessories, Tocino Alpacas,

This is Lyle...

Brookstone Log Furniture, Red Truck Foods, and Shelagh McGinn. Galbraith said people can expect everything from log furniture to belt buckles made from recycled skateboards. In addition to great local artisans, Gallery Odin will be located in the ski school with an art display and sale. “They set up for the wine festival, but because they get so much traffic, they’ve decided to stay open one more week,” said Galbraith. The summer operations manager said any local artisans still looking to set up in the village can call 250-558-6095.

Club ready to show at the fair MARINA OUT Special to The Morning Star

The Armstrong 4-H Swine and the 4-H Lamb and Community club are working together to show their 4-H colours at the 2010 Interior Provincial Exhibition. First-year members and seasoned veterans have been busily prepping their projects for the past months, preparing them for the rigors of the 4-H showing competition as well as beefing up on their knowledge of their project animal. The IPE is the highlight of the

Armstrong 4-H Swine and Lamb club year, providing the 4-Hers and their projects the opportunity to strut their stuff, exhibiting their abilities as young agriculturalists and as show persons, especially in their enthusiasm to meet and teach the public about various projects. The 4-H swine unit 1, Fed Hog and unit 2, Gilt classes are Sept. 1 at 9 a.m. The 4-H Lamb Showmanship classes are at 1 p.m. in the show barn. On Sept. 2, the 4-H Swine Showmanship begins at 8:30 a.m. with the 4-H Lamb classes at 3 p.m., with these class-

es also taking place in the show barn. On Sept.3, the Show Barn is the place to be, as the annual 4-H Lamb and Swine Auction takes place at 6 p.m. sharp. Buyers can register at 5:30 p.m. at the auction table set up beside the ring. Other great 4-H events are listed in the IPE program. 4-Hers welcome everyone to the 111th annual Interior Provincial Exhibition Sept. 1 to 5 in Armstrong. Marina Out is secretary of the Armstrong 4-H Swine and the 4-H Lamb and Community Club.

Saint Andrew is the shared patron saint PETER KENDAL Special to The Morning Star

But he is also the patron saint of several other countries including Russia, Ukraine, Greece, Romania and, in former times, Prussia. This is not so surprising because, as far as we can say, Saint Andrew originally came from somewhere around or near those parts. Indeed his name is from the original Greek, Andreas, but how did he become the patron saint of Scotland, which was then at the outer edges of the known world? Well when one gets down to the facts, it is not surprising. The first and chief fact is that this was not the same person! The first and original Andrew was a disciple of Jesus,

the brother of Simon Peter, a son of Jonah, and born in Bethesda on the Sea of Galilee in the first century AD. The second Andrew who became Scotland’s patron saint was the brother of Saint Brigid, born into a noble family in Ireland in the early years of the ninth century. He and his sister studied under Saint Donatus and he went with him to Italy where Andrew became Archdeacon of Fiesole near Florence where he stayed for the rest of his life. He earned the titles of Andrew of Fiesole and Andrew of Tuscany. So far he had a saintly life but there is no mention of Scotland so why is he associated with there? At a battle at Athelstaneford in the late eighth century with the English and the Pictish (the Picts were precursors

of the Scots) King Ungus said he saw a cloud in the sky shaped like the cross of Saint Andrew and if the Picts won they would adopt this as their emblem. They won and that has carried on through Scotland’s rather turbulent history to this day. We also know that at the Synod of Whitby in 664 AD King Oswiu of Northumbria decreed that his kingdom acknowledged that Saint Andrew “outranked” the Celtic Church’s Saint Columba and was better suited to be the subject for pilgrimages, and no doubt the commercial advantages thereof. So in more than one way and another Saint Andrew became Scotland’s Patron Saint. Another slight anomaly is that although Saint Andrew’s Day is

normally celebrated Nov. 30 in Scotland, as in most other parts of the world, the feast day of Saint Andrew in the churches’ calendar is Aug. 22. And that is why this is being put before you today, so that you can be ready for the St. Andrew’s night family ceilidh on Nov. 27

put on by Kildonnan Camp of the Sons of Scotland. A ceilidh is a Scots Gaelic word for an entertaining blend of music, song, dance, story and whatever else people feel like sharing with the rest! We in the Sons of Scotland look forward to seeing you then.

Wishing for adult company

D

ear Annie: My wife of almost 30 years passed away several years ago, and after grieving for more than a year, I reluctantly tried online dating. Just when I was about to call it quits, I met a lovely widow who had had many lousy relationships after her husband died. “Hannah” and I had instant chemistry. She knows I am not like the abusive men she dated before. We live six hours apart and are able to see each other for a few days every month. Her adult children and friends really like me, and my adult children and friends think she is good for me. We’ve been dating for two years. Hannah knows I would marry her in a heartbeat, but she won’t say “yes.” Her reasons are that I have a few more years before I can retire and leave my current home, and she has an elderly mother who is very dependent on her. Hannah has gone back to school for a second degree, which

It would be best if she could talk to her parents, a school counselor, a favorite teacher or an adult relative, but you can’t force her, so it’s helpful that you listen to her.

Information and additional suggestions are available through the teens’ section at kidshealth.org. Please check it out. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Gargantuan Freak,” who was hurt when her husband’s best friend said she was “gargantuan” and her husband and in-laws agreed. As a doctor, I can assure her that 150 pounds is a perfect weight for someone who is 5 feet 9 inches tall, and it’s likely the best friend was referring only to her height. If this comes up again, I recommend she smile

and reply, “I prefer statuesque or goddess-like.” Her husband should be supportive by responding the same way. I don’t know why she feels so unattractive.

Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL Chances of fulfilling your material objectives in the year ahead look better than they have for a long time. However, do not talk about your expectations to just anybody, because there are always those who are ready to horn in on someone else’s gains.

PUZZLE NO. 203

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Those with whom you’re involved will expect you to do what was promised regardless of how you feel. Not feeling up to the task will be no excuse, so try to do the best you can.

ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203

HOW TO PLAY: Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: you must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box. 100115

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) There is nothing wrong with your earning capacity, yet it could be a day of downs for you financially, when expenses get thrown at you from left and right. Bite the bullet and handle it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Spoiled youngsters could expect that all that you’ve done for them in the past should be standard procedure, and could make some unreasonable demands on you. Don’t let them get away with such behavior. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You might be in for a big surprise when all that flattery you’re using on someone doesn’t work. Try again, but this time use honesty and humbleness. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Although it might usually cost you a dollar for a dollar’s worth of value, you might have to give more than you’ll get in order to have something you want. Don’t buy what you don’t need. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Get your priorities straightened out, or you could end up wasting all your time catering to someone who hardly ever notices you, while ignoring a good pal who has always been there for you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Don’t allow yourself to get enthralled with someone who is already spoken for. Pursuing forbidden fruit will not only cause you to waste time on what you can never have, but also create major problems for you. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Just because the person you choose to do business with happens to be a friend, it doesn’t mean you don’t have

to get important clauses in writing. Each party could be expecting more than they should. ARIES (March 21-April 19) A number of people you’ve always thought of as being allies might be only partially in accord with your ideas and/or purposes. However, even that support could also erode if you’re not careful. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Unless those you’ve hired to do a certain job are given exact instructions, you aren’t likely to be satisfied with their work. Remember, the fault will be yours, not theirs. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) There are indications that, when doing business, you will be tempted to go with someone new and untested because you think you can get a better deal. Unfortunately, it is likely to be a poor decision. CANCER (June 21-July 22) If you find your mate or partner has a case of the grumbles, it’ll be a mistake to respond in kind. By being even more affectionate than usual, you can be the substance that sweetens the soul.

HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes and weight gain. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder Many bridge deals would be boring if all 52 cards were face up on the table. This is one of them. Declarer would know how to play the spades -- finesse on the second round -- and the hearts -- lead a low heart out of his hand. But even with the defenders’ hands hidden, good players can sometimes appear to be using transparent cards. In today’s deal, how would you play in four spades? West leads a diamond. East wins with his ace and returns the jack (higher of two remaining cards) to your king. Your jump to game was aggressive, but it was justified with the good fit and those aces and kings. Of course, if you finesse

in spades, you will have no further worries. But if you start by taking the percentage play, cashing the ace and king, you will have to guess the hearts. Here, as mentioned, you would have to start by leading the five from your hand, playing West for honordoubleton. If, though, East had that holding, you would have to play a low one from the dummy and put in your jack. However, there is a guaranteed line (assuming spades are not 4-0). At trick three, cash your club ace. Then play a club to dummy’s king, ruff the diamond nine in your hand, lead a spade to dummy’s ace and return a spade to your jack.

Here, the finesse succeeds and you are home. But suppose West could win with the queen. What would he do next? If he leads a heart, you have only one loser in the suit. And if he returns a minorsuit card, you ruff in the dummy and sluff a heart from your hand.

I need those and those and those and those!

Residents to be surveyed on Shuswap issues Black Press

A coalition of environmental groups wants to know how much area residents value the watershed. With local governments seemingly stalled on the question of funding support, the Shuswap Watershed Alliance has released a survey to gauge the level of public support for implementation of the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process (SLIPP) strategic plan. A coalition of eight organizations that work to help protect the health of the region’s environment, the alliance believes the plan addresses many of the problems facing the watershed. “We believe that the general public is most concerned about the declining health of our lakes, rivers and streams and wants to see governments work together to find solutions,” says Shuswap Environmental Action president Jim Cooperman. “This survey will provide an opportunity for the public to send this message to our political leaders.” Algae blooms, foreshore development disputes, riverbank erosion, agricultural runoff, high-speed and often congested speedboat activity, and houseboat greywater pollution are some of the indicators that concern environmentalists. An implementation plan crafted after nearly three years of studies and meetings, calls for the establishment of a Shuswap Watershed board to oversee effective water quality monitoring, recreation management planning, better compliance and enforcement, communication and education, foreshore development planning, and other activities needed to better protect the entire watershed. Modeled after the Okanagan Water Board, the Shuswap Watershed Board would include participation from all levels of governments, the public and a scientif-

ic advisory committee. The province has agreed to pick up half the

tab, says Cooperman, but the three regional districts will have to come

up with $335,000 – an amount that will be paid by taxpayers – estimated

to be about an average of $10 per year for a threeyear pilot project that

would include a water quality monitoring program. The survey can be

completed online by following the link at www. shuswapwatershed.ca.

If fingerprints are required, the check may take up to four months to complete, he said, although for most people who don’t turn up a possible match, the processing delay is expected to be just two to four weeks. seek positions of trust and go on to prey on young victims again. Volunteers and employees working with the vulnerable whose organizations require criminal record checks will now also be checked to see if their date of birth matches that of any of the 14,000 pardoned sex offenders in a national database. Those born on the same day as one of the offenders will have to be fingerprinted to ensure they aren’t in fact the sex offender operating under a new name.

Managing stormwater focus of workshop Morning Star Staff

The Okanagan Basin Water Board and the B.C. Water and Waste Association will co-host From Rain to Resource: Managing Stormwater in a Changing Climate Oct. 28 and 29 at the Best Western Inn in Kelowna. The goal of the workshop is to share positive and innovative developments in managing rainwater and discuss how barriers to

change are being overcome in communities in B.C. and beyond. A trade show will also be held to allow innovative companies to share the latest developments in rainwater management technologies. “I’ve had a few people ask about the title of the conference,” remarked Anna Warwick Sears, executive director of the OBWB.

“In the old days, we used to try to get the stormwater into the storm sewers as fast as possible, and run it into the lake to prevent flooding. But rain really is a resource if you handle it properly. “To have a healthy and sustainable water supply we need more emphasis on keeping pollution out of our lakes and streams, with less runoff during storms.

“We can also use the water to recharge the aquifers under our neighbourhoods. This workshop is about how to do these things by following the example of other communities that are doing it successfully. Plus, the longterm benefits to the environment and the tax savings can be huge.” For more see bcwwa.org/seminars/RtoR. htm.

Committee waits for ruling on HST petition TOM FLETCHER Black Press

MLAs will wait for a judge to rule on the validity of Bill Vander Zalm’s petition to kill the harmonized sales tax, Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake said Monday. Lake is the convenor of the legislative committee that is preparing to meet for the first time ever to deal with Canada’s first successful citizen initiative. But in a letter to Vander Zalm, Lake said the legislation requires him to wait to receive the 700,000name petition from Elections BC before calling the committee together. Legal arguments began Monday in B.C. Supreme Court on two court challenges related to the imposition of the HST on July 1. A business group represented by former attorneygeneral Geoff Plant is arguing that the petition is invalid because it calls on the legislature to repeal a federal law. Vander Zalm has sponsored his own court challenge of the HST, with lawyer Joe Arvay saying the tax isn’t lawful because the B.C. legislature didn’t pass a motion to explicitly endorse it, as other

provinces did. The power to sponsor citizen initiatives or recall elected officials

was first proposed when Vander Zalm was premier in the late 1980s, then enacted by the

NDP government of Mike Harcourt in the early 1990s. It has never been successfully used.

In addition to Lake, the standing committee includes B.C. Liberal MLAs Eric Foster

(Vernon-Monashee), Dave S. Hayer (SurreyTynehead), Richard Lee (Burnaby North),

Pat Pimm (Peace River North), and John Slater (BoundarySimilkameen).

Ruby Margarette Lawrence (nee Romuld)

WRIGHT, B. Hugh

1914-2010

passed away at Shuswap Lake General Hospital, Salmon Arm, BC on Friday, August 6, 2010 at the age of 82 years. Hugh was born in Silver Creek, BC on July 27, 1928. He had been a lifetime resident of the area, involved both with farming and instruction of ballroom dancing. Hugh loved his trail bike and motorcycle until he had to give them up. He still enjoyed ďŹ shing in his “Sportspalâ€? canoe and loved to walk, play pool and have coffee with his friends. Hugh will be lovingly remembered by his wife Evelyn; two sons, Kevin of Salmon Arm and Dan of Vancouver and one sister, Joyce (Eric) Grayston of Salmon Arm. He was predeceased by his parents, Ivan and Louise and brother, Laurie. A celebration of Hugh’s life will be held from the chapel of Bowers Funeral Home on Sunday, August 22nd at 10:30 am with Jack Bowers the celebrant. Inurnment of Hugh’s cremated remains will follow in the columbarium at Mount

Peacefully on August 12, age 96, in Vernon, BC. Wife of the late John (Jack) Lawrence 1910-1992. Dear mother of Maureen, Sandra (John Stuart), Janet (Clint Ellison) and Brock. Loving grandmother of Lyrica Lawrence, David Ellison and Merida Zeindler. Predeceased by her siblings Melvin, Inger, Olga, Norma, Ellen, Harold and Arlene. Dearly loved by her sister Agnes and her brother Conrad (Rita), and many nieces and nephews. Ruby was born on a farm near Dunblane, Saskatchewan, third child of Mathias and Synneva Kaardal Romuld who had immigrated from Norway. Ruby married Jack Lawrence, a dentist, in Ottawa in 1939, and enjoyed many community activities in Ottawa, Brampton and Scarborough until Jack’s retirement in 1975. Ruby recalled the childhood delights of tasting Okanagan cherries on a hot prairie day and was thrilled to move to Vernon in 1975. She enjoyed playing duplicate bridge for many years in Ontario and for 35 years at the Vernon Bridge Club where she made many friends. She fondly remembered square dancing in Brampton, walking on the Scarborough bluffs, and safari trips to East Africa. Ruby’s children feel very fortunate to have had their beautiful mother for this long. She was a lovely cook and grew her own herbs, vegetables and fruits. Her local fruit pies were scrumptious. Ruby designed and made clothes for herself and her children as well as making the usual costumes for ďŹ gure skating carnivals and Halloween. Despite her busy life, she read extensively, learning much from the CBC who she said educated her all through her life. She passed a love of painting, cooking, sewing and literature to her children and grandchildren for which they are grateful. They chuckle fondly at the jive dance lessons she gave them back in the early 60’s. She will be greatly missed by them. No service by request. Donations if desired, donor’s choice.

Frank Joseph Ursaki William “Bill” Mihalcheon FRANK passed away at home in Vernon, BC, on August 14, 2010, at the age of 89 years. In 1939, he joined the Regina City Police Service as a junior clerk. In 1941, he volunteered and joined the Royal Canadian Navy. Frank served on two war ships: H.M.C.S. TRILLIUM, a Corvette, and H.M.C.S. POUNDMAKER, a Frigate, both assigned to convoy escort duty in the north Atlantic. He met his wife, Anne Irene Boutilier during WW11. After discharge, he returned to the Regina City Police Service, marrying Mom in 1946. Dad retired from Regina Police Service in 1975. He and Mom moved out to Vernon, BC in 2006 to be closer to their daughters. Dad faithfully supervised Mom’s care at Heritage Square and at Creekside, visiting her daily with a loyalty that was the admiration of staff and residents. His cribbage games in the area were a source of fun and camaraderie. He could tell a good joke while trying to avoid a 19 hand! Dad was predeceased by his dear wife, Anne Irene and his precious granddaughter, Anne Maureen Hastings. He is survived by two daughters, Lynne (Brian) Selinger and Kathryn Ursaki, and two grandchildren, Kris (Melissa) Selinger and Carolyn (Craig) Clifton. We wish to extend our thanks to Dr. David Screen, Dr. Glenn Vaz, Dr. Lindsay Pritchett, and Dr. Crowley. A celebration of Dad’s life will be held in Regina, SK. In lieu of flowers, donations to your local Salvation Army would be appreciated. Arrangements are in the care of Vernon Funeral Home 250-542-0155.

On August, 7th William “Bill” Mihalcheon, passed away at the age of 86 years, in Vemon B.C. He was born on August 11, 1923 in Vegreville, Alberta, to Tom and Veronica Mihalcheon, one of eight children. Bill married Tillie on April 15, 1952 in Vernon B.C, and they resided in the Vernon area all their married life. Bill enjoyed many occupations throughout his life, including years as a Carpenter, Plumber, Logging Contractor and City of Vernon employee who could be seen driving the Zambonee at the Civic and Priest Valley arenas for several years. Bill loved to renovate houses, and over his lifetime several houses in the area were renovated by Bill. Bill was a great trout fisherman and could be found most spring and fall days fishing with Tillie on all mountain lakes in the area. Bill is survived by Tillie, wife of 58 years, sons Randy (Donna); Ray (Teresa); Rick (Anne); Grandchildren, Chris, Kirsten, Kevin, Erica, sisters Helen Toma, and Jeannie Kotke and many nephews, nieces and friends. It was Bill’s wish that he be cremated and that no memorial service would be held. Rather, he would like Friends and Family to gather at a “Wake” have a few drinks and light refreshments in remembrance of him. In accordance with Bill’s wishes, his “Wake” will be on August 22, 2010 between 1:00 and 3:00 pm at the Masonic hall, 3005, 32street Vemon BC.
