Falkland stampedes for hospital RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Falkland residents are preparing to send a strong message over conditions at their hospital. A public rally will be held at the stampede grounds today at 6 p.m. to protest frequent overcrowding and a shortage of acute care beds at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. “It’s our hospital,” said Kelli Rose, one of the event organizers. “While the name on the hospital is Vernon, it’s not just for Vernon people.” VJH is funded for 148 acute care beds but on average, there are 165 patients daily. Rose says it’s unacceptable that patients are being placed in hallways because of a lack of beds and that surgeries are being cancelled. She is also concerned that overcrowding may lead to the spread of
“While the name on the hospital is Vernon, it’s not just for Vernon people.” — Kelli Rose infections among patients. “If you’re not providing proper infrastructure, there’s a chain reaction.” To date, 350 Falkland residents have signed petitions demanding that two-shelled in floors at VJH be completed for acute care beds and that appropriate staff levels be initiated. “It’s growing day by day,” said Rose of the signatures. “Community organizations have been phoning their members and letting them know about the issue. People are aware of it.” Among the groups participating in the effort are the Falkland
Community Association, the Falkland First Responders, Falkland Highway Rescue, the fire department, the Sunday Morners, the seniors association and the Falkland Historical Society. Recently, Shuswap MLA George Abbott, who represents Falkland, stated he would not join lobbying efforts for more beds at VJH. “I am not in a position to be definitive on whether they (two shelled-in floors) should or should not be completed,” he told The Morning Star. Abbott said the new patient care tower should create efficiencies for patient flow and that should be
considered before a decision on new beds. According to Rose, Abbott’s comments have not been popular. “People in Falkland aren’t being political but we are looking to our representatives. It’s very disheartening,” she said. “His comments have not been well received and if anything, they have led people to step up to the plate to express their concerns.” Today’s rally has the support of VJH physicians and the B.C. Nurses Union. “It’s just fabulous to see folks from this community sending a clear message to their MLA that VJH overcrowding is unacceptable and that the two shelled-in floors need to be completed as soon as possible,” said Dr. Michael Concannon, an emergency room physician.

The police believe they have their man in a recent robbery. Now they just have to find him. On Tuesday, an arrest warrant was issued for Christopher David Prokopchuk, 22, in relation to an armed robbery at the Royal Bank on Highway 6 July 22. “Through our investigation, we have followed up and looked at the security cameras in the bank,“ said Gord Mo l e n dy k , R C M P Prokopchuk spokesperson, when asked about identifying a suspect. Molendyk wouldn’t speculate on whether Prokopchuk, who has a Canada-wide warrant for a parole violation, is still in Vernon. He is described as being fivefoot-10 and 181 pounds, with brown hair and eyes. He has a Roman numeral tattoo on his left neck and the word “Porkchop” on his shoulders. “The police are advising the public that if you spot him do not approach him,” said Molendyk. “Call the nearest police department right away. Prokopchuck should be considered armed and dangerous.” It’s not believed the Royal Bank robbery is related to a heist at Interior Savings Credit Union on 32nd Street. “It was a totally different method of how that incident was conducted,” said Molendyk. A man dressed in women’s clothing made off with an undisclosed amount of cash from Interior Savings Aug. 4.

News New Coldstream route drives ahead RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Traffic patterns have evolved for Coldstream motorists. No longer will residents have to navigate Kickwillie Loop and narrow Westkal Road as the new $9 million College Way extension opened Tuesday. “It will be convenient for people who work in Kelowna and it draws the college into the Coldstream community more,� said Mayor Jim Garlick. The route also includes a multiuse path for cyclists and pedestrians. Over the years, Westkal Road has been the primary route to Highway 97 and facilities like the landfill for most Coldstream residents. “It’s been serving as a collector road and it was never intended for that,� said Garlick. Besides the volume of traffic, Westkal Road residents were concerned about speeding vehicles and the lack of room for pedestrians to walk. “We were fearful of bad accidents,� said resident Paul Christie. Christie is confident the College Way extension will reduce traffic on Westkal and he is pushing for the speed bumps to remain and sidewalks to be installed. “I’d like to see it become a nice country lane,� he said. The new road, which connects
Kalamalka Road to the existing College Way, has been under construction since July 2010. Completion was delayed slightly because of challenges that arose from working around the railway tracks and Vernon Creek. “There are still a few things to complete like hydro-seeding the hillside, which can’t be done in the summer, and there are signs and fencing to put up,� said Michael Stamhuis, Coldstream’s chief administrative officer. Signs will notify motorists of the change in traffic patterns and primarily the traffic light on Kalamalka Road at College Way and Husband Road. This will be the first traffic light that falls under the jurisdiction of the Coldstream municipality. “The light should work fine and it should help people coming off Husband Road. At times there were getting to be long lines (going on to Kalamalka Road),� said Garlick. Funding for the College Way extension came from the federal and provincial governments and Coldstream. Garlick says the involvement of senior jurisdictions allowed the project to proceed after being on the books for decades. “The timing was right,� he said of Ottawa and Victoria using grants to stimulate the economy.

thing by the book,” said Darrel Zacharias, a committee member. Beyond needing a more secure location for a marina, Zacharias says a permanent structure in Quarry Bay would impact kokanee habitat. Zacharias says a compromise situation with residents may be possible, but the committee cannot presently change direction because the proposal was voted on by the 161 families that own the Outback. It’s not known when government agencies may rule on the application, and Zacharias says that process could lead to possible changes. “We are prepared to react to anything suggested by any of the regulatory bodies,” he said. The City of Vernon identified the location of a marina during the development permit stage for the Outback in 2004. It opposes relocation to South Bay.

Zacharias says the current owners had nothing to do with the development permit and any agreements with the city have been scrutinized. “There is nothing in the development plan approved by the city that suggests anything like this and there are no caveats on title,” he said.

he is assured that the height of the buildings would not exceed the top of the hill. Depending on the outcome of the public open house, the city could then proceed with selling a portion of the park and amending the official community plan. The buildings would be constructed in phases, with phase one consisting of a 56-unit, fourstorey structure over two levels of concrete parking at the north end of the property. The second phase would use the parking lot between the Schubert Centre and the Interior Health Authority to the southwest. “In order to contin-
ue to serve this community, the society is planning for our longterm financial stability through a proposal to develop additional parking and residential housing adjacent to the centre,” said Jack Gareb, Schubert Centre manager. In terms of the portion of city-owned land being sought, Gareb describes it as “mainly used for illicit activities and is difficult to access.” “The project will provide for increased recreational value to the park by improving on access and upgrading the existing park pathway, contribute to the city’s heritage revitalization through the

Rural Enderby home destroyed by fire RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A rural Enderby home has been consumed by flames. Fire broke out in the 100 block of Potrie Road, near Kingfisher, just before 6 a.m. Saturday. “The owner got a couple of things out before he had to leave the building,” said Gord Molendyk, with the RCMP. “The structure burned to the ground.” The Enderby Fire Department was notified of the situation but did not attend. “It was well beyond our fire protection boundary,” said chief Kevin Alstad. “If we had responded, it would have taken at least half-an-hour to get out there.” On scene were staff from the Ministry of Forests’ wildfire management branch. “As our firefighters are not structural fire-
fighters, a forest officer stayed on scene to determine there was no risk of the structure fire spreading into the forest,” said Kayla Pepper, a fire information officer with the ministry. “While a few trees were singed, the fire was contained within the
perimeter of the property.” The ministry then received another call at around 4 p.m. Saturday about a barn fire at the same address. “Again, the structure fire did not pose a threat to timber beyond the property,” said Pepper.

Due to increased irrigation demands, additional seasonal water sources have been brought online. These seasonal water sources are only chlorinated before entering the distribution system, resulting in turbidity that at times exceeds 1.0 NTU. GVWU has been actively monitoring the water quality and all bacterial tests have been clear, however the water quality rating remains as FAIR. Until color and turbidity return to normal, those with young children, the elderly, weakened immune systems or anyone requiring additional protection should boil their water for one (1) minute when using the water for drinking, washing fruit and vegetables, making beverages and brushing teeth. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the RDNO-GVWU at 250.550.3700. Please check the website for information and further updates at www.rdno.ca.

City provides free home for Winter Games RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A major sports event has a place to call home and it won’t cost a dime. The Greater Vernon Winter Games Society will have free use of the city-owned Vernon Flower Shop building on 31st Avenue for its headquarters. “We were just going to use it as parking lot until we find a use for the site and this really helps the Winter Games folks out,” said Coun. Jack Gilroy. Organizing is well underway for the Games, which will bring more than 2,000 athletes, coaches and officials to Greater Vernon Feb. 23 to 26, 2012. The city recently purchased the flower shop property, across from Cenotaph Park, for $315,000. The Winter Games committee will be able to use the building until April 30, 2012. On a related matter, Vernon council has approved a recommendation from the city’s finance commit-
tee that the Winter Games Society not be charged for criminal record checks for volunteers. There is currently no charge for non-profit organizations needing record checks done, but Winter Games officials were concerned the policy would change and they may face a $12,500 bill for 500 volunteers. However, city hall has confirmed that there will be no change in policy and a fee is not required. There is still a concern, though, about how the magnitude of conducting the criminal record checks will impact RCMP staffing levels. “The 500 checks is one-sixth of what they would do annually,” said Coun. Patrick Nicol, adding that the goal is for staff to do a few at a time and not all at once.

Westkal reclaimed
A
Coldstream neighbourhood is getting the chance to reinvent itself. With the College Way extension opening Tuesday, the long-suffering residents of Westkal Road no longer feel like they have the world driving past their door step. Gone is the constant stream of vehicles using Westkal as a link to the college, the dump, Kelowna, the beach or Lumby depending on their direction of travel. Backing out of a driveway could be down-right dangerous, but particularly more hair-raising was going for a walk along the narrow, twolane road with vehicles Richard Rolke within a mere few inches. “There’s been a concern with the number of cars and speeders,” said Paul Christie, a longtime denizen of Westkal Road. “We were fearful of bad accidents.” Bowing to pressure to improve safety, the District of Coldstream installed speed bumps on steroids in 2002 or 2003. “We’re not keen on them but we’re not keen on having kids killed either,” said resident Barry Fifer in a news article at the time. While the mini-mountains slowed traffic down, they also proved unpopular with motorists who thought it was their God-given right to speed or were worried the brief jostling would spill their double-double. To demonstrate their displeasure, or perhaps how smart they thought they were, some drivers began honking their horns as they passed along Westkal. Others got cheap thrills as they hit the gas just before climbing over the speed humps to gain a little air (I admit to freaking out my kids by doing this). Christie was at the College Way opening Tuesday and he’s looking forward to a slower pace on the home front.
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
“What we’ll have now is local traffic,” he said. And opportunities may ultimately blossom for the neighbourhood, including possibly sidewalks or improved public access to the absolutely wonderful Pumphouse Beach. Imagine families purchasing homes without worrying that their kids will become a moving target? Christie is convinced the downgraded status of Westkal will bring people together. “I’d like to see it become a nice country lane,” he said. It should be pointed out that the College Way extension — commonly referred to as the grid road — has been on the drawing board for at least two decades. Council after council did absolutely nothing about it, either because of indifference or they were thrown off by the multi-million-dollar price tag. The situation on Westkal Road was just allowed to deteriorate because of a lack of action. That’s why current Coldstream council and staff deserve credit for pressing ahead with something others were unable or unwilling to do. Of course it should be pointed out that timing is everything and if it wasn’t for the global recession, the federal and provincial governments wouldn’t have been trying to stimulate the economy and a big chunk of the $9 million budget wouldn’t have been available. The new route means Okanagan College will have a more direct link to the broader Coldstream community while the traffic light at Kalamalka and Husband roads will provide easier access for those living on Middleton Mountain. But in the end, the real winners are the folks along Westkal Road who have experienced years of mayhem. Not having to fear being sideswiped, I anticipate family walks and impromptu visits to the neighbours will become part of daily routines.
It might be people’s belief that crime is always on the increase as we seem to distrust every living thing and assume our modern society isn’t as safe as the good old days. And all it takes is a few highprofile crimes, virtually anywhere in the world now that the Internet and 24-hour news services continually feed our worst fears, to solidify the belief that things ain’t like they used to be. Although there’s been enough recent crime in the Okanagan to make us shake our heads in disbelief as it is. However, such news has to be put in context to get the real picture of our surroundings and crime statistics of note locally point to some good news on the horizon. There was a 7.68 per cent decrease in Criminal Code offences, such as drugs and robberies, this past quarter compared to the same time frame in 2010. The successful reduction in crimes is being linked to “focusing on prolific offenders with curfew checks,” noted Supt. Reg Burgess of the Vernon/North Okanagan RCMP. This plan of attack either successfully locks up repeat criminals or curbs their penchant for such activities. This approach, along with some very successful undercover operations and high-visibility foot patrols, has allowed the police to take a significant bite out of local crime. Their strategy and due diligence to carry it out on our behalf should be noted and congratulations are in order. May this hard work and trend continue and further lower the crime stat numbers so that we can start to believe that our streets are safer than we think they are.

Let's not forget about Haiti
H
olding a sick, abandoned baby in your arms or seeing the smiling face of a treated patient is just a couple experiences that can bring a new appreciation to the life we have at home. My gratitude goes out to the communities of Lumby and Vernon for enabling me to volunteer as a nurse in a place where resources are in great demand. Although there are many crisis around the world, let's not forget about Haiti. I recently spent time volunteer nursing in an undersupplied but efficient hospital in the city of Port-auPrince. Since the earthquake in Jan. 2010, access to water, food and health care is extremely minimal. Despite the horrendous living conditions and meager possessions, the Haitian people are resilient and full of appreciation for life. Anything others have to offer, whether it be a material thing, or a simple piece of knowledge is met with open
PUPPY ABANDONED Early morning of June 28 someone driving into town on Westside Road hit a four-month-old black Lab puppy and left him to die in the middle of the road. I received a call from my friend who had stopped to help another lady to move the dog to the side of the road. These ladies had to get to work so I flagged a fellow down and had him lift the dog into my car whereupon I took him to Creekside Animal Clinic. To all those people, I say thank you for stopping and caring. To the person who hit the dog, I hope you have some conscience and will give a donation to the Creekside vets for taking care of the remains of the puppy as he died just as I arrived at the vet's. He died in pain in my car from internal injuries and I wish to thank Dr. Watts for coming early to work in an effort to save the pup. To the owners of the puppy, we all tried to save your member of the family and we are sorry. Rose Carson CARE BEDS NEEDED I have just finished reading the "long-term care needed" letter in the paper. I support this person's views 100 per cent. I have received many petitions and e-mails for me to
arms and great appreciation. Though they have very little, they value all that they do have and take pride in themselves and each other. I left a piece of my heart in Haiti. I want to thank everyone who supported my vision of helping Haiti. Your generous contributions really made a huge difference. I have the opportunity to return to Haiti in September to do another volunteer nursing mission and again, will be fundraising. Money raised will go towards my mandatory volunteer fee (room, board, and flight), the local hospital, gifts for the children and medical supplies. If you have any questions, would like to know more about my goal, or see pictures from my last trip to Haiti, please e-mail me at shaya88@hotmail.com. I am so thankful for your support, as are the people of Haiti. Shaya Carlson
sign to open up the two floors of the new hospital section. I have not done any signing. And will not for the reason this letter so well put. We need acute care beds in another facility. Mary-Joan Giffin BIKE LANES DEFENDED In response to L.M. Neufeld questioning the value of bike lanes and the work done on 20th Street. Vernon city council needs to be commended for their recent work on improving bike lanes and I would like to contest a few points made by the previous author. 1) There is a strong community of cyclists in this community who have been advocating for improved bike lanes for years. The reason you see so few of us on the roads, is there are very few safe places to ride within Vernon's city limits. For Neufeld to say there is not a demand of bike lanes is simply false. For the City of Vernon to not recognize the potential revenue from the number of cyclists attending events like this would be unwise. The estimated economic impact of an event that draws over 2,500 cyclists to the city for the weekend is in the millions of dollars. 2) The letter writer's view that "bicycle lanes are more dangerous to cyclists than using the regular
road" shows this person's obvious lack of cycling experience. In every major centre, there has been a reduction of traffic accidents and cycling injuries with the development of bicycle lanes. There has also been an increase in the use of bikes as alternate forms of transportation in cities that have adopted bike-friendly routes, road crossings and safe storage in the downtown core. 3) The road work on 20th is being met with great enthusiasm by all of our friends with young children who now see a safe and viable option for our children's morning commute to school. Take a few minutes to watch the dozens of kids who no longer require their parents to supervise their safety in attending Harwood Elementary. I would advocate the City of Vernon to complete similar projects that would allow safe access for students to every school in Vernon. These investments are not simply road beautification projects, but serve to positively effect the lifestyles, health, and safety of the next generation. So, please join us in commending Vernon for finally putting the safety of our children first, and help us all remove a few more vehicles from the roads, while enjoying the health benefits of such a fantastic sport.
Help them continue to develop bike-friendly access to all of our schools and public spaces for the health and safety benefits of generations to come. Andrew Sellars, Balance Point Racing Team head coach GOOD EXPERIENCE I recently had surgery and a stay in our local hospital which was a positive experience. From the admitting staff, presurgery admittance, Dr. Crawley, Dr. Green and the surgical team, to the girls on 2-West — Sara, Dona, Monica, Chelsey, Trista and Sara RN, it was all good. Under the conditions and stress they work under daily, they treated me very well. They are indeed heavenly angels. I'm recovering well and the road to recovery. The food was great also. If I forgot anyone, I apologize. C. "Santa" Cameron THANK YOU The MS Society of Vernon would like to thank The Morning Star for your ongoing support of our Walk/Run/Ride of April 2011.

News Council’s discussion also provided an opportunity to blast the City of Vernon, which is often approached by groups for funds but then the city sends those requests to the regional district. “People are punted from the city to the regional district but there is no money there to give them,” said Coun. Maria Besso. “I don’t know why they keep going on with this charade?”

Former local to appear on Canada Sings Vernon-raised Katherine Wilson shows her team spirit performing in the Glee-like competition KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
The cast of TV show Glee may have hit the big time singing Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’, but for Katherine Wilson, the song has a certain resonance now that she is in a glee club of her own that is about to make its national TV debut. Wilson, along with her coworkers from The Keg Mansion, a Toronto restaurant where she has worked as a server since 2007, are raising their voices to compete on the country’s latest reality singing competition –– a Glee-like competition called Canada Sings that is currently airing on Global TV. The show features people from various workplaces –– from teachers to firefighters to junk collectors –– forming glee clubs and competing against each other for a $10,000 donation to their charity of choice. Not only do they perform in front of a national audience, they have to impress the three rather eclectic judges: Calgary singer Jann Arden, Rob Van Winkle, better known as rapper Vanilla Ice, and French-Canadian musician Pierre Bouvier “It was amazing as soon as I found out who they were,” said Wilson. “I was casual about it all at first, then when I heard who we would be working with, I had to think about what I got myself into. “This is not just getting up and singing, it’s dancing, singing, and working out. I loved it. The nature of this is what I want to do.” Performing is nothing new for Wilson, who attended Vernon’s W.L. Seaton Secondary School, and starred in a number of school productions including Little Shop of Horrors. With a love of music theatre instilled, she moved to Toronto after graduating in 2003, and attended the Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts College. Signed to an agent for a number of years, Wilson’s first big break came in 2009 when

Katherine Wilson, raised in Vernon, can be seen performing with her team of coworkers from Toronto’s Keg Mansion on Canada Sings Aug. 31 on Global TV. she starred as a murder victim in the TV show, Psychic Investigators. Also a singer, Wilson has formed a band with a friend and has performed at open mics, and recently made an appearance in another Glee-like live performance at an Israeli festival in Toronto’s Mel Lastman Square. “I’m hoping for more opportunities as the word gets out,” said Wilson. Canada Sings isn’t the first time she has tried out for a singing competition. “I did audition for Canadian Idol four-tofive years ago. It was the second-to-last season, and I went to final auditions in Toronto, where I was told they had filled their quota of people,” said Wilson. “I didn’t think I’d go through that kind of avenue again. It’s been nice to have the support system, and not do this alone. That part of if it has been really great.” Wilson heard about the glee club after a memo was circulated about the show at the Keg Mansion, a well-known restaurant located in a 1867 mansion located on Toronto’s historical Jarvis Street.
“I was totally on board as soon as I heard about it,” she said. “One of our new managers, Sheldon Smith, was given the memo from our general manager, and he put the group together to do this. He worked on Hairspray in the Toronto Mirvish production and was also in the movie. He also has a dance background. He didn’t really know people at The Keg yet –– we have a big staff –– but he got the ball rolling.” With their team captain established, the group of 10 staffers sent in their audition tape under the name Keg Spirits after the restaurant chain’s foundation, which supports a community of children in Africa as well as local charities. “We selected a song that we could choreograph and sing to that wouldn’t be too difficult as only a few of us had performed before,” said Wilson. “Sheldon took the reigns and choreographed something for us to I Want You Back by the Jackson Five. It was so awesome.” The Keg Spirits also entered Put It In A Love Song by Alicia Keys and Beyoncé. And then they waited, and waited.
“The submissions were sent in September, but we didn’t have confirmation until November, when we heard we were frontrunners. We then had an interview with the producers who came to The Keg and interviewed each of us and as a group to narrow things down. We really hoped this meant we were in.” The co-workers didn’t hear anything until right before Christmas, while all were working a shift, Smith and the restaurant’s general manager broke the news. They were in. “We were all super excited after we heard we’d be part of the show.” After more interviews over the Christmas holidays from the production team, who wanted a profile on each member, the Spirits got word that they would be the first team to rehearse at the end of January. “They were like ‘you’re our guinea pigs, good luck,’” said Wilson, who was even more excited when she found out who the team would be working with. Assigned to Vancouver choreographer Kelly Konno, who has worked with Janet and Michael Jackson as well as Justin Timberlake, and Calgary musician Scott Henderson as music director, the Spirits worked non-stop for a week on their number. “I’ve never been so tired,” said Wilson, adding the crew didn’t film the final product until March 17 –– St. Patrick’s Day. Excited to finally get on stage, with fullon hair, costumes and makeup, Wilson says she felt like a superstar. “I never had that kind of attention before. For me, the nerves weren’t really there. I expected to be super nervous in anticipation, but it felt right. I knew my family was in the audience, and we had a big group of support as we were able to invite friends and coworkers to come see the show. It was surreal to see the panel of the judges.” Now four months since the episode was filmed, Wilson can soon break her silence on how her team did. “They tried to create an atmosphere of competition, but from my perspective, I didn’t get to feel that much. We came to win prize money for our charity.” To find out how Wilson and the Keg Spirits fare against workers from Scarborough’s hospital, tune into Canada Sings on Global TV, Aug. 31 at 9 p.m.
Hip hop act is structurally sound for its CD release Morning Star Staff
They’ve been battling their way through the local hip hop trenches for more than a decade, and now local act Creative Bloodline has just dropped its debut album. Founders and MCs Leverage and Big Zig and the group’s newest addition, vocalist Shauna Marshall, are busy promoting their new album, Structured Emotions, which came off the press last week. Produced by Eric Lowry, with co-producers Rephraze and S. Mann, Structured Emotions features 16 tracks in a variety of different genres and vibes. “(We) have been practising and creating at all hours of the night and day and sharing stages with names like Three Six Mafia, Xzibit, D12, Swollen Members, Sweatshop Union, Living Legends and Snak the Ripper,” said Wes Veitch, aka Leverage. With their die-hard attitude, clever lyrics, realistic subject matter, catchy melodies and beats and ability to think outside of the box, Leverage and Big Zig decided to add to their sound, enlisting vocalist Marshall to Bloodline’s lineup

more upbeat moments. She makes this group much more well rounded,” he said. Marshall’s vocals can be heard along with Vernon MC Immaculate on the album’s first single, Reach for the Sky. Other tracks feature guest appearances by hip hop heavyweights such as Swifty McVay from Detroit’s D12 (the group that also features Eminem) and Mad Child from B.C. hip hop group Swollen Members. The album is now available on iTunes and select stores around the Okanagan such as Dunas Skate Shop and Urban Rebel Clothing in Vernon. Creative Bloodline is holding its CD release party at the Rockhouse (formerly Moe Joe’s Night Club) Aug. 20. Locals are encouraged to stop by and get in on the act for a live video shoot at the club. “Come down and enjoy the festivities, grab a CD and support local talent,” said Veitch. The CD release party, which features special guests James Hughes, Immaculate and others, starts at 10 p.m. No cover charge, and prize giveaways are included.

Just nine more sleeps to one of the B.C. Interior’s most highly anticipated annual musical events. The music at the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival is sometimes familiar, oftentimes an introduction to something new and wonderful and, in some cases, pure magic. Some of the most exciting sounds erupt at workshops cobbled together by Hugo Rampen, the festival’s artistic director. And this year promises to be amazing. Snap, Crackle and Pop features Apadooraï, one of the rising ensembles in the world music beat, L.A. Street Drum Corps and beatboxer Felix Zenger at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 20 at the Barn Stage. “It’s all about percussion, the percussiveness of the didgeridoo combined with Street Drum Corps who play garbage cans and beer kegs and have a very rudimentary, almost gorilla approach,” Rampen says. “I think it could be just marvellous.” And, he adds with enthusiasm, Zenger is flying in from Finland for his first North American appearance, an artist who has had 29 million You Tube hits on Beat Box video. Late in the afternoon that Saturday, head to the Shade Stage for Back Porch Blues, a roughand-ready jam session featuring Harrison Kennedy, who has a Motown background and plays acoustic guitar, banjo and spoons. Jamming with him will be Portland, Oregon’s Samuel James on his slide dobro playing caustic blues. “He’s under 30 and he’s a shining light in the youth blues movement,” says Rampen. “He and Harrison will work really well together.” Confident the workshop will be a hit, Rampen says Vancouverbased gospel singers, The Sojourners, will fill in the harmonies with their “beautiful, sweet, casual, foot-stomping, verbal jousting – the kind of

For its final film of the summer season, the Vernon Film Society brings Beginners to the Town Theatre screen Monday. How would you react if your 75-year-old father suddenly announces that’s he’s gay, has been all his adult life, and that he has just been diagnosed with cancer? That’s the situation that Oliver (Ewan McGregor, Ghost Writer) finds himself in, in this semiautobiographical story by writerdirector Mike Mills. While the father, Hal (Christopher Plummer, The Last Station), celebrates coming out of the closet with a new wardrobe, a new boyfriend, and a new outlook on life, his son struggles with relationships, particularly those with women. The film moves within three time frames: the period between Hal’s announcement that he is gay and his own death a few years later, the period in Oliver’s life after his father’s death, and flashbacks to Oliver’s memories of childhood. After Hal dies, Oliver becomes somewhat of a shut-in while trying to form a relationship with a young actress (Melanie Laurent,

Hal (Canadian actor Christopher Plummer) comes out to his son Oliver (Ewan McGregor) about his sexual identity and his health in the film Beginners. Inglourious Basterds). They both have a tendency to run from intimacy, and it’s heartbreaking to see these two groping toward connection. It may be that it is never too late to make a fresh start, and the father has set an example for his son. Beginners is a thoroughly enjoyable character study about people opening up and discovering themselves despite age, preconceptions, and illness. As Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles
Times, says, “(Beginners) is a buoyant and disarming drama about sons and fathers, death and dying, living and loving, and all the ways we find ourselves starting over, hoping to finally get it right.” Beginners will be shown at the Town Theatre Monday, Aug. 15 at 5:45 p.m. and 8 p.m. (Please note the new times.) Tickets are available at the door and one week ahead at the theatre and the Bean Scene for $7.

Walking in Helen Keller’s footsteps CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Marnie MacKenzie remembers hearing about Helen Keller for the first time when she was about 15 when the film, The Miracle Worker, first came out in 1961. “She showed me how to make the best of what you’ve got, despite your disabilities,” said MacKenzie, who has had sight and hearing issues since childhood and lost her sight due to retinitus pigmentosa when she was in her 30s. She was inspired by Keller, who was deaf and blind since before she was two but went on to become a famous speaker and advocate for people with disabilities. “Just because you are blind doesn’t mean you can’t do anything,” said MacKenzie, who worked in the family business in Vernon, MacKenzie’s Menswear, for 34 years. She was also active in skiing and is an enthusiastic supporter of the Do It for Dad fundraiser. She was delighted last Christmas when her niece, Sanci Solbakken of Victoria, offered to take her to the Helen Keller Festival in Tuscumbia, Alabama, Keller’s birthplace. The three-day festival in June attracts thousands of people for an outdoor performance of The Miracle Worker, a variety of music, tours and a market. They also enjoyed the southern hospitality and regional specialties like ribbon fries and deep-fried dill pickles. “I thought that instead of thinking we should do this someday, we should do it now,” said Solbrekken. They enjoyed touring the area, with Solbrekken explaining where they were to her aunt. “Because I was sighted, I can visualize,” said MacKenzie. “I got so much enjoyment. We heard Helen Keller’s great-great-great-nieces and nephews sing in a church and there were a lot of music performances.” Solbrekken said they particularly enjoyed Little Elvis, a man who has Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and was born with no legs and partially deaf, who is a singer and inspirational speaker. “It was all inspirational. I remember that my mom and dad, Bette and Bill MacKenzie, went to an International Lions Convention in Chicago and heard Helen Keller speak. They were very impressed. Helen Keller was the one who challenged the Lions Clubs to work to help the vision-impaired in the 1920s and they still do,” said MacKenzie.
Animal lovers in the Vernon area are urged to slide into their favourite pair of walking shoes and get moving to help a furry friend. Registration is open for the annual Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk held each fall to raise funds for homeless and abused animals in B.C. Each year, participants in 37 communities around B.C. walk with colleagues, friends, family and with their dogs to raise $1 million to help animals in need. “This is the largest single event supporting animals in B.C.,” says Denise Meade, the society’s director of development.

STORK REPORT
PHOTO SUBMITTED
Marnie MacKenzie at the birthplace of Helen Keller in Tuscumbia, Alabama. The pump is the one made famous as the place where Keller, who was deaf and blind from early childhood, first made the connection between words and objects. She went on to become an activist for people with disabilities and an inspiration to many. “Helen Keller showed me that there are many ways to learn, so it was a pleasure to be there where she was born. She taught me that you accept what you have and make the best of it. That’s what Helen did and that’s what I do. I can’t thank my niece enough that we got to go while I could still hear.” The trip was a gift for Solbrekken as well. “For me, it was special to be able to share that time with Marnie, knowing it
was such a big inspiration in her life, to see that big grin on her face and to spend that time, just the two of us,” she said. “Of course, I have known her all my life and been inspired by her but traveling together gave me the opportunity to see how she copes on a day-to-day basis and how capable she is.” MacKenzie is already planning the next trip to the Helen Keller Festival and hopes to be able to take the rest of the family with her.
Go walkies for the animals at BC SPCA fundraiser Morning Star Staff
New arrivals
“Participants are already signing up and will be fundraising in their own communities all summer long. The creativity and passion that people show each year is remarkable. People gather together each September to go on walkathons and hold many interesting all-ages events and activities to raise money to help animals in their community.” To register and for more information visit spca.bc.ca/walk. Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause will be held at BX Ranch Park on Sept. 11.

Ranch Park. For more information visit spca.bc.ca/branches/vernon/. Last year Katie, the amazing can-collecting canine, raised hundreds of dollars by collecting cans on her daily walks and returning them for refunds. “As far as we know, Katie was the only non-human to personally sign up. And what’s more, she actually did her own fundraising,” says Meade, adding that the event is sponsored by Scotiabank, Bosley’s Pet Food Plus, Petsecure Pet Health Insurance, PwC, See Ya Later Ranch Winery, Coast Hotels & Resorts, Global TV, TV Week Magazine, CKNW AM980 and 99.3 The Fox.

When barbecues go bad
h you gotta love these lazy, daisy, crazy days of summer! Unfortunately, the crazy part was mine last week. One day, I decided to keep the heat out of my house and cook everything on the barbecue. I have a large grill and placed a roaster of stuffed peppers over low heat, later I added a roasterful of chicken legs and drumsticks that I wanted to cook slowly and then finish off with a special sauce directly on the grill. The last thing I added was a foil packet of halibut, prepared in my favourite way; this I placed on the top rack above the chicken, away from the heat — or so I thought. With 15 people running around, including our 22-month-old granddaughter, all I had on the go was preparing a box of ripe apricots for jam and the dehydrator, while visiting and supplying snacks and beverages for our guests while getting dinner on, so

at our ANDERSON CROSSING LOCATION
BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL Two endeavors that thus far have proven to be totally unproductive might be revitalized in the coming months. You’ve been closer to success in the past than you may have realized, and this time around, you’ll know what to do.
PUZZLE NO. 203
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Although your inclination may be urging you to waste your time playing hooky, get a grip on yourself and pay attention to neglected chores that are your responsibility.
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. 101221

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) If you’re not careful, without realizing it you could easily begin to impose your will upon your companions. Needless to say, if you do, you won’t be very popular. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Striving for lofty goals is admirable, but unless you choose realistic aims, they might not be that easy to achieve. If that’s the case, don’t start blaming others for your poor choices. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Associates will be unreceptive to your suggestions if in the past you have been closeminded to theirs. At the very least, be willing to listen and consider what they have to say. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Constant vigilance is essential if you are responsible for a project that could affect the welfare of others. Don’t take lightly your commitment to oversee it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) It’s a time for building bridges, not barriers. For the sake of harmony and progress, you and your mate shouldn’t be butting heads, but putting them together for a common cause. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) With your physical and mental energies both in high gear, you could have difficulty distinguishing the differences between assertiveness and mere aggressiveness. Take care. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Instead of associating with a clique that is made up of certain people who make you feel uncomfortable,
you should find companions who have pleasant ways to spend their time. ARIES (March 21-April 19) If you want others to be supportive of your interests, you must be there for them when they need you. Make some time to help an associate who could use a little assistance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Being in a talkative mood could have you telling others about things you might otherwise keep to yourself. Don’t let something slip out that you need to keep under tight wraps. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) When you find yourself in a spending mood, your material desires can be very pronounced, which could be the case at his juncture. Be very careful about going off on a wild spree.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder The wrong play fails today The late stand-up comedian George Carlin said, “Honesty may be the best policy, but it’s important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy.” In yesterday’s deal, the second-best policy -- line of play -- would have worked with the given layout. But honesty required my mentioning that it was not mathematically best. In today’s deal, though, if you misplay, you go down. Well, what would you do in three no-trump after West leads the spade six and East plays the queen? North bid what he thought his partner could make. You start with seven top tricks: one spade, two hearts,
two diamonds and two clubs. The extra two winners can obviously come from the club suit. But what is the risk? You might lose a club trick and watch the opponents run spades. How could that happen? It will occur if you duck the first two spade tricks and spades are 5-4, or you lose a club trick to the opponent with the remaining spades. But if you win the first trick, it can come about only if East gets on lead to push a spade through your jacknine into the jaws of West’s king-10. (From the Rule of Eleven you know that East has only one spade higher than the six, and you saw his queen at trick one.) Take the first trick, play a club to dummy’s king,
and lead a club back toward your hand. When East plays the last low club, put in your 10. Here it wins and you collect an overtrick. But even if your 10 loses to West’s potential queen, you are still safe because West cannot continue spades without conceding a trick to your jack.

During Miracle Treat Day, the Dairy Queen on 32nd Street will donate proceeds from every Blizzard sold to B.C. Children’s Hospital, a member hospital of Children’s Miracle Network, a non-profit organization dedicated to saving and improving the lives of children by raising funds for Canadian children’s hospitals. The Vernon Dairy Queen has been a supporter of Children’s Miracle Network since 2003. “Miracle Treat Day has become an event that the entire community looks forward to,” said Sheldon Aldrich, owner of the Vernon Dairy Queen. “It is our pleasure to partner with Children’s Miracle Network. We encourage everyone to come out on (Thursday) and help us raise funds for the kids in need.” Last year on Miracle Treat Day, participating Dairy Queens throughout Canada raised $2.2 million, with all proceeds going to Children’s Miracle Network hospitals in respective local communities. Dairy Queen will serve up a variety of Blizzard flavour treats during Miracle Treat Day, including the new Caramel Toffee Cookie Blizzard, the featured Blizzard of the month for August.

Council offers tips to promote safer cycling Morning Star Staff
Cycling is a great mode of transportation. Not only is it part of a healthy lifestyle, but it contributes to a greener environment. However, as a cyclist, you are considered a vulnerable road user, and you must be aware of your surroundings at all times. It is very important to be visible and predictable to others. Cyclists have a greater risk of potential injury or death should they become involved in a collision. According to Transport Canada, in 2009 there were 41 bicyclist fatalities, and 435 serious injuries. Canada Safety Council recommends all cyclists wear an approved helmet, as they can prevent up to 88 per cent of brain injuries when used properly. Ways cyclists can improve their safety: ■Wear a helmet. ■Pay attention to your riding and avoid distractions. ■Follow the law — it’s the safest way to ride. Cyclists have the same rights and duties as other drivers. ■Be predictable — ride in a straight line, don’t swerve over bumps in the road. Signal all turns and check behind you before turning or changing lanes. ■Come to a complete stop at every stop sign and red light. ■Ride with caution around parked cars and position yourself in the field of vision of a motorist pulling out of a parking space. ■Be conspicuous — ride where drivers can see you, use lights at night and wear bright clothing. ■Be aware — anticipate the next move of drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. Watch for debris, potholes and grates. ■If you are a beginner seek out clubs or cycling advocacy organizations in your community for tips on safe riding, instruction, and group rides. ■Ride ready — tires need air, brakes must work, and quick release wheel levers must be closed. ■Carry identification, cell phone, cash, and repair and emer-
gency supplies. Ways motorists can improve bicycle safety: â– Respect cyclists as legal road users with the
same rights and responsibilities as motorists. Drive courteously and with tolerance. â– Obey posted speed
limits, and don’t drive too fast for conditions. ■Check over your shoulder, and always check your blind spot. A
cyclist could be there. â– Maintain a safe distance between your vehicle and the bicycle in front of you.
â– Use low-beam headlights when driving in low-visibility. â– Yield to pedestrians and cyclists in and
entering crosswalks. ■Signal all turns and lane changes 30 metres in advance. ■Pass only if it’s safe.

Shamrocks keep Shaw hopes alive Giger records OT winner to push OXLL final to Game 3 KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
She needs some major cosmetic surgery and a little TLC, but old Hassen Arena is hardly considered a highmaintenance partner by the Armstrong Shamrocks. The Irish have played some of their finest games in the hot tin-roof barn over the last two decades, and they relished their former home once again Monday night with a highly entertaining 12-11 overtime victory over the Kelowna Raiders. Game 3 in the best-of-three Okanagan X-treme Lacrosse League Shaw Cup championship series goes tonight in Kelowna. Game 2 was played at Hassen since the ice is in at Nor-Val Sports Centre. Classy Raider captain Kyle McLennan figured the venue jumpstarted the Rocks, who were stuffed 7-2 in the series opener Friday in Kelowna. “The atmosphere was the difference,” said McLennan, one of the league’s premier playmakers. “They always come out hard when their fans are out. It gives them energy and they always put up a good fight. They’re a tough team. Their goalie (Chad Pieper) played great and it was hard to get it by him; he’s a big dude.” With only so much air available, both teams found enough oxygen to put on a great offensive show with the stickwork and pace at a level not seen in the league for some years. “They have some good talented guys and so do we,” said McLennan, who scored once. “It was a close game, it was a really good game, probably the best game of the year. We’ll just stick to our game Wednesday. They had the energy this time, but they won’t have their fans next game.” JOSE LAROCHELLE PHOTO The defending champion Raiders twice rallied to erase Shamrocks' captain Chad Pounder (right) cuts around the Raiders' Victor Wiens in Game 2 of the Shaw Cup senior C men's lacrosse three-goal deficits, scoring the only three goals of the third championship series Monday night at Hassen Memorial Arena.

As for the magic between he and Medhurst, Strohm Bailey started the comeback at 11:43 of the period with hat trick, was surprised at Armstrong’s focus on lacrosse. “They played a lot better (than Game 1),” said Illichman, said: “I’ve played with him lots in my career growing up in a gorgeous behind-the-back goal after a pass by veteran who swiped a loose ball and stunned Pieper with Kelowna’s minor so we kind of know where one another’s going to Steve Plasko.

Orton deuce jumpstarts Toyota attack a counter attack in a 4-on2 situation in which Paulsen was helpless. Either team could have won this game, but the tie seemed fitting. In 45+ league action, Okanagan Spring Brewery welcomed back Frosty Man of the Match Pete (The Heat) Richter and Chris Reeves for their first games of the year and went on to defeat Kelowna Rented Mules 6-3 at the Quarry in Kelowna. Akbal Mund, three minutes in, playing forward to start the game, opened the scoring on a 20-yard blast that found the top corner, assisted by Reeves and Tom Ouchi. The Mules tied the game 1-1 before Mike Lloyd, from Denis Chabot, made it 2-1 Spring, only to have the Mules tie it again at 2-2. Jim McEwan made it 3-2 at the half, from Reeves. Early in the second, Roger Irving, from Lloyd, and then Reeves, with two tap-ins from Lloyd, finished off the 5-9-2 Spring scoring. Richter kept Spring in the game early, making several key saves in the first half. Penticton United gained revenge for a shellacking they took from Vernon Hi-Pro Sports Camels a month ago with a 1-0 win at Marshall Field #3. Darren Schimpf picked off a pass back by Stu Whiting and beat Humpbacks’ keeper Dave Dutcher with about 10 minutes remaining. Penticton’s keeper was stellar, stopping Gordie Howard on a first-half penalty kick, awarded when Howard was pushed in the back inside the 18, and making several other big saves. Camels’ winger Rick Raber, who had three straight two-goal outings, missed the net on a breakaway. Penticton pushed to 11-4-1, while the Humpbacks dipped to 12-3-2. Lake Country tripped up Vernon Big O Tire Ogopogo’s 3-1 at Marshall #1. It was one of those crazy nights where Big O hit posts

Mark Wasylyk had Big O’s goal on a nifty last-minute move around the keeper on a breakaway. Lake Country counted a late goal with Big O pressing all their men up for the tie. Volker Otto, Wasylyk, Leo Nadeau and Brad Conlin played very well for the tiremen, who fell to 7-10. Stella Artois Man of the Match John Burns buried a pair of goals as Silver Stars fell 4-3 to Brandt’s Creek Pub Monday night at City Park in Kelowna. Burns, a sweeper more known for his unintelligible English accent than his scoring prowess, opened the scoring on a cross from Rob Bauml at the 20-minute mark. The Brit made it 2-0 for the 6-7-4 Stars seven minutes later on an absolute corker of a free
kick from 30 yards out, placing it just under the crossbar. Brandt’s, now 5-10-2, made it 2-1 before the break on a 20-yard free kick, and equalized early in the second half. Bill Graham restored the Stars’ lead by heading a Brian Eso corner through a maze of bodies, getting just enough oomph on it to get it over the line. The pub crew pulled even again on a cross that sailed straight into the net. They secured the win with three minutes to play when Stars’ netminder Ted Lurkins came outside the 18 to handle the ball and put it right onto the foot of an opposing player for an empty-netter. Kelowna IGA clipped the North Country Appraisals Kickers 1-0 on a goal by Chris Young. IGA is 17-0, the Kickers 10-4-3. The Pushor Mitchell Advocates edged the Rutland Spirit 4-3.

Despite starting with only 10 men in extreme heat and conceding an early goal, Vernon Toyota rebounded and posted a 2-1 win over the Pushor Mitchell Rented Mules Monday night at Mission 71 Sports Field in Kelowna. Kevin Kearns’ late arrival sparked the Carmen as striker John Orton recorded his 11th and 12th goals of the Okanagan Men’s 35+ Soccer League year. Orton’s first was off a goalmouth scramble after the Mules’ keeper robbed both Don Balcombe and Brian Johnston. The winner came off a set play with Kearns delivering a beautiful ball to a wide open Orton just outside the six-yard box. Orton placed the ball into the upper corner of the net with a precision header. Toyota ended a month-long losing skid to improve to 6-8-1. The last-place Mules are 1-14. Bosman Accounting of Vernon battled to a 1-1 draw with Kelowna’s Fountain Tire at Marshall Field #5. The 4-10-1 accountants scored a quick goal in the first half after a series of corners. Rolf Hirschkorn curled the ball in front of the Fountain Tire goal when Wes Vanderveen back-heeled the ball to forward Bobby Zalcik, who chipped it over the keeper for the 1-0 lead. Fountain Tire (6-6-2) had several good changes in the first half, but keeper Guy Paulsen had an outstanding night in net, making some crucial saves. In the second half, Bosman had the better chances, but failed to finish. Captain Henk Bosman had a pair of free kick attempts go just over the crossbar. Another fluent attack over the left wing involved a long cross from Vanderveen to Zalcik, who just headed the ball wide. Zalcik also went alone at the Foutain Tire keeper after a brilliant through pass from centre midfielder Ian Murphy, but just missed his attempt. Fountain Tire scored on

Morning Star Staff
Morning Star Staff
Vernon pro Justin Baillargeon and Predator Ridge’s DJ Szestopalow combined for an overall low gross 65 to win the third annual Founder’s Cup Saturday at The Rise Golf Club. The duo, who pocketed TaylorMade R11 drivers, were followed by Jesse Crowe and Cody Bell, who recorded a first flight low gross 67 via retrogression over Rex Skarbo and Ian Hansen. Tom Ross and Blaine Hartnell carded a 71 for third place and golf bags. Low gross and low net winners in each flight collected TaylorMade Burner 2.0 drivers; runners-up earned Bridgestone DZ B330 balls and jackets; and third-place finishers collected golf bags. The event featured more than $10,000 in prizes. The Crombie boys, Sean and Devin, fired a low net 64 in the first flight, while JD Frame and Dale Gatenby were second at 64.5, and Brian O’Keefe and Bart Yachimec rated third at 66.5. In the second flight, Steve Pauls and Gerry Bifano teamed up for low gross 73, followed by Rick Higginson and Bruce

Scott Simpson of Vernon follows his putt on the sixth hole in the third annual Founder’s Cup Saturday at The Rise Golf Club. Salamandyk (74) and Jon Atmore and Davin Marr (76) in second and third respectively. Second flight low net honours went to Vern Hornell and George Wynn, who carded a 61.5. They were followed closely by Glen Finnie and Ryan Finnie at 62, and Doug Phibbs and Rhonda Phibbs at 62.5. Ryan Goulard and Chad Goulard topped the third flight at 78, with Ian Rogerse and Rory Rwanchyna taking second gross with 80 and Diane Watts and Tim Watts securing third with 81. Dennis Gaudet and Cory Wright com-
bined for a low net 53.5, while Peter Ortman and Jamie Renton were runnersup at 57, and Bob Zurevinski and Gary Brassart finished third at 58. With golf passes up for grabs in individual hole competition, Matt Rohatensky won the long drive competition in the 0-8 handicap division on the 10th hole. Jessy Beley (9-14 handicap) and Rod Hurst (15+) won their respective flights. For the KPs, Higginson topped the 0-8 class on hole #7, while Doug Franke (9-14) and Doug Thorlakson (15+) were also winners.
Vernon’s Paul Reid won a three-man playoff in the Murray GM Men’s Invitational Open Sunday at the Merritt Golf Course. Reid, one of several Spallumcheen Golf & Country Club members who turn the weekend into a camping/golf excursion, earned pars on both playoff holes to win a set of TaylorMade irons. Cory Torbohm, a Salmon Arm golfer formerly of Merritt, three-putted on the second playoff hole to settle for second. Brett Martin of Kamloops, who also finished at 144, bogeyed the first playoff hole. “I’ve never been in a playoff like that so it was big-time for me,” laughed Reid, playing in the tourney for the third time. “It was just consistency. I didn’t really do anything outstanding. I just didn’t three-putt and I didn’t get into any trouble.” The smooth-swinging Reid, who turns 50 in a few weeks, carded rounds of 73 and 71. A two handicap, he plans to exchange the irons and buy something nice for his wife. A club champion at Spall, it was Reid’s first tournament title. Merritt is a well-manicured nine-hole course with plenty of challenges. The Nicola River winds through the course and comes into play six times. Dave Haverty of Spall won some expensive bakeware for winning the second flight low gross at 74-74-148, while clubmate Doug Hiebert won the third flight at 81-79-160. Jeff Parker was second low net in the third flight at 138. Ayton Moffat of Merritt was the overall low net champion at 131.

Okanagan Sun receiver Ben White (#74) tries to break through Langley Rams’ defensive backs Charles Scott (left) and Nick Felicella in B.C. Football Conference play Saturday at the Apple Bowl in Kelowna.
Late rally lifts Sun past Rams Black Press Sports
The Okanagan Sun spread their offence around in a thrilling comeback 33-23 victory over the visiting Langley Rams in B.C. Football Conference action Saturday night at the Kelowna Apple Bowl. After quarterback Brandon Leyh and receiver Nick Downey hooked up for a 39-yard touchdown strike to give the Rams a late lead, the Sun marched back and scored two touchdowns in the final 1:40. The late flurry capped off a furious fourth quarter were both teams scored 21 points. The win improved the Sun to 2-0 while the Rams dropped to 0-2. The teams complete the home-and-home series this Saturday at McLeod Park with a 7 p.m. kick-off time. After the Rams went ahead 23-19, the Sun marched back down the field
and capitalized on a 29-yard touchdown reception by Ben White, his second score of the game, with 40 seconds left. Trailing by three points, Langley had one more drive, but an errant snap went over the head of Leyh and was recovered by the Sun at the Rams’ five-yard line. Quarterback Bobby Davis, who hit White with the winning TD, called his own number for the insurance score. Davis, who played the first half before being relieved by newcomer Jeremy Mraovic-Joseph, was summoned off the bench for the dying minutes. He tossed a first-half 27-yard strike to Tommy Howes, who finished with six catches for 87 yards, tops on the Sun. White scored on a 40-yard fumble recovery to put the Sun ahead 19-2 with 7.27 left in the opening half. Davis completed10 of 16 passes for 147 yards, while Mraovic-Joseph was 6-for-15
and 84 yards. On the ground, Alex Bradley rushed 10 times for 30 yards as the busiest Sun ball carrier. Steve McFadyen booted a pair of field goals and three converts. The Rams also received a rushing touchdown from Kyle Albertini and an interception touchdown from Joe Patko. Langley’s other points came off a conceded safety. The Rams offence struggled for much of the game, generating just four first downs and 150 yards of offence. Seaton Sonic grad Brennan Plante caught a 30-yard touchdown pass from Drew Jacobson in the Kamloops Broncos’ 37-14 win over the hometown Chilliwack Huskers Saturday. The 1-1 Broncos, who have five Vernon players on their roster, visit the Vancouver Island Raiders Saturday in Nanaimo. The Raiders beat Westshore Rebels 72-6.
Canadians struggle in coastal playdown Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Canadians brought their best, but ran into stiff competition at the B.C. Bantam A Baseball Championships last weekend on the Lower Mainland. The Canadians, coached by Don Emmons, Terry Chudyk Drew Doyle and Darren Zupp, opened with a 9-2 loss to the Ridge Meadow Royals in their provincial opener Thursday morning in Pitt Meadows. Shelby Hartwig went 2-for-3 with two RBI and pitched two-and-a-half innings, facing 11 batters and recording four strikeouts. Clayton Bateman and Tyler Lacktin-Doyle pitched in relief, combining for six more strikeouts. Garner Chudyk, Brayden Damini and Bateman all batted .500. Game MVP Mark Trznadel was stellar patrolling centrefield. In their second game of the day,
Vernon came up just short in a 13-11 loss to the Chilliwack Cougars. Mitchell Lukacs went 4-for-4 with two doubles and three stolen bases to earn Game MVP. Dylan Emmons and Bateman both went 2-for-3 with walks, and LactinDoyle hit 2-for-4, with two doubles and four ribbies. Frankie Gettis and Trznadel showed great patience at the plate, and Jacob O’Quinn showed a good glove. The Canadians got a great combined pitching game from Brenden Zupp, Emmons, Lactin-Doyle and Lukacs. Friday afternoon, the Canadians were upset 6-3 by the Cloverdale Spurs. Lukacs tried to spark the Canadians with a spectacular dive to beat the tag at home plate, while catcher Damini gunned down several runners from behind the plate.
Hartwig started on the mound and was relieved by Emmons in the sixth inning, facing a combined 20 batters and fanning eight. Vernon got great defence from Chudyk and a strong bat from O’Quinn, who went 2-for-3. Zupp swung 2-for-3 to collect Game MVP. In their final game Saturday morning, Vernon came up empty-handed in a 6-3 loss to the Tsawwassen Athletics. The boys played hard, but just could not find enough bat strength to get them through. Damini caught a one-bouncer in left field and fired it to second to gun down a Tsawwassen baserunner. Lukacs, Zupp and Game MVP Bateman were solid at the plate. The Canadians thanked Kyle Anderson of the OMBL Vernon Diamondbacks for travelling with the team to support and encourage the boys.

Russell Lee Anderson July 29th, 1921 to July 30th, 2011
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Russell Lee Anderson, a beloved and devoted husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend peacefully on July 30th, 2011 with his family by his side. He is survived by his wife Margaret (Buddy), daughter Deborah Lee, sons Russell Jr. (Donna), David (Jody) and Mark (Julie), and grandchildren Katherine, Eric and Sophia and his sister Eileen. Born in New Westminster, Russell was the fourth son of a large family of 9 children. In 1941 at the age of nineteen he joined the Royal Canadian Navy and was sent to Halifax, the ¿rst time away from his family and hometown. He saw active duty during WWII as a signal coder on several ships; he became an of¿cer and an of¿cer trainer during his service. On February 14th 1947 he married Margaret (Buddy) Hoskin; his loving wife and friend of 64 years. Russ received a BA and B.Ed from UBC and a MA from the University of Western Washington and became a secondary school teacher and counsellor in Surrey/ White Rock. He also completed the Radiological Defence Of¿cer program with the Department of National Defence. Russ was an enthusiastic seeker of knowledge in many subjects. He loved music, played several instruments and his singing virtuosity was well recognized by all who new him. A “Science Guy” at heart as well as an astute business man... he built the Rodeo Drive-in and started the ¿rst Christmas tree farm in the Lower Mainland along with numerous business enterprises. In the early 80’s Russ and Buddy “retired” to living in Desert Hot Springs and “ the Lake” at the Lawrence Beach in Vernon, B.C where they had been summering at their place for over 40 years. They enjoyed their time in both places making great life long friends. Russ will be sorely missed; our many fond memories will live on forever in our minds and hearts. His spot at the head of the table will be always! Thank you for the food we eat Thank you for the birds that sing Thank you God for everything. A reÀection of Russ’s life will be held at “the cabin” @ 61 Lawrence Lane, Vernon, B.C. on Saturday, August 13th from 1pm to 3pm. A Lower Mainland celebration will be held at a later date.

(formerly LOUIS)
On August 5, 2011, Jeannette passed away peacefully at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice House at the age of 68 years. She is survived by her loving daughter and son-in-law, Kathy and Doug Currie, sisters – Cecilia Louis, Christine Bob, Sarah Bob and Lillian Joe, and her beloved girls – Reyna Mitchell and Kelly Jeffs. While we grieve the loss of a wonderful mother, sister, aunt, gramma and friend, we can rejoice in the life that she lived. Of all her accomplishments, Jeannette’s greatest achievements have been in the lives of her family and friends. She had a unique gift to recognize and appreciate the talents in others and to make them feel loved and lifted by her presence. Her creative mind, kind heart and brilliant smile allowed her to make everything sparkle. Her generous heart filled our home with love, fun, family and friends, including an attitude that there was always room for one more. She raised a standard for courage and faithfulness through her own trials, which helped us, put our problems and excuses into perspective. One of her passions in life was the Hospice House gardens and ensuring they were beautiful for the families who were there to support their loved ones and a place to take a break and to enjoy the scenery and view. She leaves her daughter, son-in-law, sisters, Kelly, Reyna and Isabelle, with the knowledge that they were truly loved. The family is deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support in many heart-felt forms, from too many people to name individually, but including: Kamloops Hospice – Janice, Carole, Maureen, David, Michelle, Joyce, Sue, Mary Rea, and extended family – either through prayer and/or visits, neighbours, and even random acts of kindness through total strangers. The urn that Jeannette’s earthly remains will be held in nicely reflects, how fondly she will be remembered: beautiful and special. Do a loving act of kindness, make someone laugh, send a card, give a hug, or say “I love you” to your special friend in her memory. The Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, August 13, 2011 at 10:30 am in the Schoening Funeral Chapel with Father Giovanni Manalac officiating. Should friends desire donations may be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House, 72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9.

Me M Melville elville Vernon o Benson on n August 23, 1919 – August 5, 2011
It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of Melville Vernon Benson on Friday, August 5, 2011 at Vernon Jubilee Hospital at the age of 91 years. Mel was born and raised in Pangman, Saskatchewan. He married Martha Isaac in 1939 and they left the farm with 3 boys in 1948 to move to British Columbia and settled in Enderby. In 1950, they moved back to Saskatchewan and settled in Regina where they had their last two children. While in Regina, Mel worked as a carpenter, building rec rooms for show homes. In 1967, they moved back to British Columbia intending to settle on Vancouver Island but, after stopping to visit a brother-in-law in Enderby, he was offered carpentry work so they settled in Vernon instead. He remained in the same house that he built until his death. Mel was predeceased by his wife, Martha, in 2000 and son Richard, in 1952. He was also predeceased by 5 brothers and 1 sister. Mel will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by: sons, Vern (Joyce) of Saskatoon; Gil (Jean) of Abbotsford; and Dwayne (Karen) of Maple Ridge: daughter Darlene of Vernon; six grandchildren; Troy and Tara (Kevin) of Saskatoon, Kelly of Abbotsford and Lori (Ron) of Peachland, Melody (Sam) and Hannah (Nathan) of Maple Ridge; six great grandchildren: Megan, Nathan, Brandon, Brandon, Tori, and Isaiah; and one great great grandson, Jordan. He is also survived by sister Norleen (Pete) Litzenberger of Enderby and numerous extended family members. Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, August 13, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. from the chapel of Pleasant Valley Funeral Home with Mr. Brian Jackson officiating. Interment will follow in Pleasant Valley Cemetery. A reception will follow in the Tea Room.

Referendum results expected on time TOM FLETCHER
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Pursuant to the provisions of Section 892 of the Local Government Act, a Public Hearing will be held in the Council Chambers of the City of Enderby, 619 Cliff Avenue, Enderby, B.C. on Monday, August 15, 2011 at 4:30 p.m. to hear representations on the following matters:
Black Press
The fate of B.C.'s harmonized sales tax should be known by the end of August. Elections BC officials briefed reporters recently on the final collection and counting of ballots for the HST referendum. Acting chief electoral officer Craig James said the target is to release results by the original date of Aug. 25, despite a strike and lockout at Canada Post that delayed distribution. If there’s a big return rate from the three million ballot packages that were sent out, results may take a few days longer, James said. All mailed envelopes received at the Canada Post collection warehouse in Vancouver by the referendum deadline of 4:30 p.m. Friday will be accepted for counting by Elections BC. Elections BC will
THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF ENDERBY
CITY OF ENDERBY OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 1484, 2011 This Bylaw proposes to amend Schedule “A” the City of Enderby Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1171, 1995 by incorporating targets and strategies aimed at enhancing community energy and resource efficiency including reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. In this regard, the Cityís target would be to reduce community wide greenhouse gas emissions by 7% from 2007 levels by 2020 and by 13% by 2030. All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by this Bylaw, shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the above Bylaw. ELECTIONS BC PHOTO
Elections BC staff process HST ballots received from voters. Officials say turnout has been “steady.” have 70 people working in two shifts to verify and count the ballots. Each one will be checked against the voter's list, and a random selection of 6,000 voters will be phoned to confirm that they sent in
their ballots. Elections BC plans to release the turnout for B.C.'s second-ever mail-in ballot next week, along with details of how many requests for replacement ballots were received.
More than 14,000 people registered to vote so they could take part. James said delays in getting through to the Elections BC call centre were caused mainly by the fact that as many
as half the callers were phoning to share their opinions about the HST. The call centre was to handle requests for people who didn't receive their ballot package or needed a replacement.
Copies of the proposed Bylaw may be inspected at the office of the City of Enderby from August 8, 2011 through August 15, 2011, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding statutory holidays. For further information, please contact Marnie Skobalski, Planner at (250) 550-3737 or by e-mail at marnie.skobalski@rdno.ca NO SUBMISSIONS TO COUNCIL WILL BE RECEIVED FOLLOWING CONCLUSION OF THE PUBLIC HEARING.
