Glen Fletcher (right) bolts the newly rebuilt Spitfire replica back on the roof of the Army, Navy, Airforce Veterans club on 46th Avenue with the help of Rod Hartfelder Wednesday morning. Fletcher and Randy Lundman each put in 1,200 volunteer hours in the reconstruction of the plane. The replica was first put on the roof in 1993 but had to be totally rebuilt after vandals broke the plexiglass which caused the plane to rot.
Falkland sends message to government RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Falkland residents are demanding that the provincial government make health care a priority. About 150 people attended a rally at the stampede grounds Wednesday demanding that two shelled-in floors be completed at Vernon Jubilee Hospital to address overcrowding and cancelled surgeries. “We also want to see action on staffing because you can’t have one without the other,” said Kelli Rose, MONICA GOSH PHOTO one of the event organizers. About 150 people rally at the Falkland Stampede grounds Wednesday for “It’s about the health and safe- more acute care beds at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. ty of every resident of the North Okanagan.” VJH is funded for 148 acute MLA, George Abbott, to get direct- stituency are 100 per cent behind health care workers and our hospicare beds but on average, there are ly involved. “It should be fairly clear that tal,” said Rose. 165 patients daily. people on this end of his conRene Talbot, Falkland direcThose at the rally want their

That’s 75 names that had never signed before,” said Rose. “People are really taking this issue seriously. People really care about health care.” Among the groups that took part in the rally were 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. A Purple Ribbon flag was raised and it could be passed on to other communities who show their support for VJH. “Hopefully other communities will do the same thing and put pressure on Victoria,” said Talbot. B.C. Nurses Union representatives weren’t surprised with the turnout in Falkland. “We’ve heard from them that they’ve had enough with the situation at VJH,” said Christine Sorensen, regional chairperson. “As small as Falkland is, they have a huge heart and I would hope the government will listen to the community.”

News Firefighters celebrate 50 years of service JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
F
ighting fires with buckets of water and a garden hose may seem archaic, but there was a time when that was all a community could do to protect itself. After watching their municipal hall and the main building of the historic Vernon Preparatory School destroyed by fire in 1957 (followed by the Orchardleigh lodge blaze), local efforts were initiated for a better plan of action. With such losses fresh in their minds, a group of nine men banded together to form a local fire brigade. On Aug. 12, 1961, Coldstream’s 2,161 residents could sleep a little sounder at night. The formation was declared that day with the District of Coldstream fire protection bylaw and $35,000 was set aside for the creation of the Coldstream Fire Brigade. Frank Schiller was elected the community’s first fire chief alongside 24 charter members: Beals, Billick, Boyd, Chouinard, Clarke, French, Gordon, Holweg, Johnson, Kuhn, McFarland, McKay, Mills, Nahm, Quirk, Stecyk, Trehearne, Whitney, Gingell, Haines, Seymour, Green, Palfrey and Kuhn. Then on June 18, 1962, the double-bay fire hall was unveiled (next to the newly renovated municipal office), complete with two trucks. Gordon Bisschop still remembers the day his community became a safer place (which also pleased many as home insurance rates were reduced). After joining the band of 25 brothers in 1966, Bisschop moved up the ranks 10 years later to become chief – and was also the longest serving fire chief in Coldstream (1976 to 1996). During his tenure, Bisschop watched the brigade evolve from averaging 15 calls per year, members earning $4.50/hour practice pay and $4 on call outs, having zero communication in the trucks, smoking cigarettes while holding the hose and even sharing essential equipment. “When I first joined we only had two air packs. The rest of the guys would just have to stand in the smoke,� said 71-year-old Bisschop, who joined the hall at 26. It wasn’t even until 1989 that the

male-dominated crew. Brigette Yuskiw joined the department in 1992. “She was just like one of the guys,� said Bisschop. “She really fit

right in.� Today the department (which includes two women) averages 100 calls annually, members earn $17.50/hour for practice and $30.99 for every two hours on call out and the members, in their new six-bay hall, are highly trained and fully equipped. While flames of change have roared through the department during the last 50 years, the initial purpose of the department has stood the test of time. “The goals at all time is prevention of loss of life and property,� said Bisschop. “But nowadays it’s a lot more technical.� David Sturgeon, Coldstream’s newest fire chief (and the youngest at just 28-years-old), joined the hall in 2005 with that very goal in mind. But along the way, he’s also gained a second family of friends who not only have each other’s backs in the line of duty, but through life. “It’s the camaraderie,� said Sturgeon, of what he enjoys most about being a firefighter. “Most of the guys, even now, help each other out with things. If somebody’s moving or somebody’s doing this or that, they’re there to help you out.� Meanwhile the evolution of fire protection in Coldstream has also led to fewer losses. Compared to Sturgeon, who
hasn’t witnessed a single fatality in his term, Bisschop can recall several, including the worker who died in the old packing house fire, the 1978 tragic loss of a young girl and a 1984 house fire fatality. Structures continue to be lost, but prevention and better built homes have led to fewer losses. “I’d like to think they don’t burn as good as they used to,� said Bisschop, comparing $20,000 wooden homes built 50 years ago to multi-million dollar concrete lake front homes. Whether it’s 1961 or 2011, both Bisschop and Sturgeon agree that prevention is key to dampening the destructive path of fire. And thanks to the department, plus municipal support and resident education over the past 50 years, Coldstream is continuing to ensure the safety of its residents on a daily basis.

No significant blazes from lightning storm RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Summer’s first major thunderstorm was impressive visually but didn’t pose a significant fire risk. Thunder and lighting rolled through the North Okanagan Wednesday night, generating eight wildfires. “Everything remained at spot size (less than 0.1 hectares) because of the significant amount of rain that fell after the lightning,” said Kayla Pepper, an information officer with the Ministry of Forests. Crews spent most of Thursday checking for any spot fires that the rain may not have extinguished. “Fire wardens were heading out and aircraft were heading out,” said Pepper. Among the areas reported to have fires Wednesday were Brookfield Road in Lumby, Galiano Road and Silver Star in the BX, Goose Lake in the Swan Lake area and above Stepping Stones Road on the Okanagan Indian Reserve. Lumby firefighters tackled a small blaze near Rawlings Lake Road. “It wasn’t anything threatening,” said fire chief Tony Clayton.
“There was no risk to the urban interface.” There were 25 lightning-caused fires throughout the Kamloops Fire Centre — which covers from the North Thompson to the South Okanagan. All of them burned a total of about two hectares of land. “We were getting several hundred initial reports of strikes,” said Pepper of the conditions in the Interior. Prior to Wednesday’s storm, 80 per cent of the wildfires in the Kamloops Fire Centre were listed as personcaused. Pepper is urging the public to be cautious with cigarette butts and other sources of ignition. “Make sure your campfires are extinguished,” she said. Wednesday’s thunder storm also kept B.C. Hydro crews and emergency personnel busy. Minor power outages occurred through the North Okanagan, and the Vernon Fire Department reports six fire alarms being set off because of power bumps. Kelowna firefighters experienced extreme conditions Wednesday. The department there responded to 91
incidents in a fourhour period, including 10 smoke sightings, six wildfires, 22 reports of
flooding, two marine rescues on Okanagan Lake, 27 fire alarms, a fire in a high-rise hotel
and a hazardous materials incident involving an ammonia leak. “Almost all avail-
able fire apparatus were pressed into service to deal with the volume of calls received in a
UP TO
priority sequence,” said Jason Brolund, Kelowna deputy fire chief, in a release.

Few calls for rural Enderby fire service RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Flames have gutted a second rural Enderby home but that’s not fuelling calls for fire protection. A residence at Highway 97A and Hutchinson Road in Mara was destroyed Wednesday, while a residence on Potrie Road, near Kingfisher, was charred Saturday. Both areas are outside of the Enderby Fire Department’s boundaries. “People would like to be in the fire protection area but the fire department can’t get there
“You need permanent residents.” — Halvorson within the required time set by the insurance underwriters,” said Herman Halvorson, rural Enderby director for the Regional District of North Okanagan. As for establishing new volunteer fire halls, Halvorson doesn’t believe that’s practical given the seasonal nature of the area. “In the winter time
that would be impossible,” he said. “You need permanent residents and there’s not enough people around.” The other factor is the cost of building a fire hall, purchasing equipment and operating the service. The Highway 97A fire in Mara broke out just after 8 a.m. Wednesday,
and the B.C. Forest Service responded to ensure it didn’t spread into the adjacent forest. “The wildfire management branch firefighters do not fight structure fires,” said Kayla Pepper, a B.C. Forest Service fire information officer. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the RCMP, which oversees investigations in areas outside of fire protection districts. On Saturday, fire was reported at a Potrie Road residence just before 6 a.m. and the cause is still being investigated by the RCMP.
Residents who live outside of fire protection boundaries either pay substantial fire insurance rates or they don’t have insurance. “It’s the price they pay for living in an area they want to live in,” said Halvorson. Halvorson believes there should be more awareness among residents about the services available when they move into a neighbourhood or community. “All realtors should

Coldstream debates growth strategy RICHARD ROLKE
JOSEF SEIBEL
Morning Star Staff
Some Coldstream politicians want assurances the community won’t be forced into development. Council approved the Regional District of North Okanagan’s regional growth strategy Monday after lengthy debate. “It’s a fantasy plan and it will not come to fruition,” said Coun. Bill Firman. The strategy provides a long-term vision for development and growth in the North Okanagan over the next 20 years. Among the issues identified in the document are rural lifestyles, agriculture, economic development, transportation, housing and energy. Firman was upset that a map in the regional growth strategy identifies a portion of Buchanan Road as a future development area. “This whole document is filled with platitudes about urban containment but here’s an example of how it offends these principles,” he said. “There’s no infrastructure out there, it’s a sensitive area and it’s next to the agricultural reserve.” However, Firman was told that the only reason the regional growth strategy includes the Buchanan Road site is because that area has been identified for growth by the District of Coldstream. “It’s in the strategy because it’s presently in our official community plan,” said Coun. Doug Dirk. That explanation, though, didn’t go over well with Coun. Maria Besso, who says growth areas in official community plans require more scrutiny. “We’ve said urban containment and no more world’s longest subdivisions,” she said. “Huge swaths of land are identified near Lumby and Spallumcheen.” Dirk continued to defend the growth strategy process.
“It’s a fantasy plan.”

“The strategy is a motherhood statement,” he said. “It doesn’t transfer responsibility of all of these issues from us (municipalities). RDNO is not taking over these things.” That view was supported by Coun. Gyula Kiss. “Developers must still come to us and it’s up to us (as a council) to decide what must be done for the development,” he said.

Councillors question Commonage concept 242 hectares near Chum Road. It includes one 80.9-hectare lot. Under existing zoning, which dates back to when the area was still part of the regional district, rural subdivision is permitted even without the variance permit. NONAP says that council’s recent decision on the 28-lot subdivision prompted its calls for action for the remainder of the Commonage, which includes grasslands and wildlife habitat. “Our major concern is the future of the area known as the Commonage,” said Rod
Drennan, spokesperson. Drennan says an area plan would determine long-term land uses, while there is a need to abandon regional district zoning and bring the area in compliance with city zoning. “We want an open and effective public process,” he said. Discussions have been held between NONAP and city staff. “We discussed the official community plan as it stands and zoning that may differ from official community plan designations,” said planner Dale Rintoul of the difference between zoning and land use desig-

A regional approach to future development has the blessing of the City of Vernon. Council has unanimously supported the regional growth strategy proposed by the Regional District of North Okanagan. “It provides a balanced vision of how we’ll accommodate growth,” said Coun. Buffy Baumbrough. The strategy provides a long-term vision for development and growth in the region Cleo Corbett over the next 20 years. Among the issues identified in the document are rural lifestyles, agriculture, economic development, transportation, housing and energy. The strategy was created through consultation with various stakeholders and North Okanagan residents. “City staff have been involved in the development of the document over the last three years,” said Cleo Corbett, Vernon’s long-range planner. “The strategy is consistent with Vernon’s official community plan. Any concerns brought forward by Vernon council have all been addressed.” The strategy is currently being reviewed by all local jurisdictions, and Baumbrough says it’s important that all communities participate in implementation. “Together, we are able to look at the big picture,” she said.
Corbett is also hopeful the document will move ahead. “It’s a partnership among all of the jurisdictions for the future and vision of the North Okanagan,” said Corbett. When final input from member jurisdictions is received, the RDNO board of directors will consider any possible changes to the growth strategy and then adoption.

On thin ice
W
ell, it looks it’s back to school for this old guy – hockey school, that is. After a few years hiatus, I’m looking to lace ‘em up and get back on the ice at Priest Valley Arena with the Friday-night group I skated with a few years back. I fell off the wagon after a few seasons, and I find myself wondering why I ever left. It probably had something to do with having to get up for work Saturday morning. My body doesn’t like to wake up at the best of times, and after getting home around midnight from a 90-minute workout, it doesn’t exactly want to go to bed either. Graeme Corbett I’d find myself sitting, or rather buzzing, in my living room, and the combination of crappy late-night television, reading and video games did little to curb the adrenalin rush. My typical Friday night used to go as follows: cover the Vernon Vipers if they were at home, race home to get my gear, race to PV to get dressed just in time to skate few laps before puck drop (later if the Snakes went into OT, which they did a lot last year), gas my legs after a few shifts, score the odd goal or set up some plays, and finally come home to stare at the ceiling until 1 a.m. Yet I find myself jonesing for another go. I’m hoping improved conditioning will help my post-workout recovery. To that end, Jason Gilbert, a Friday night hockey legend, is assembling an adult hockey conditioning camp, Sept. 12-15 (all times are at night) at Priest Valley. I figure if he can organize Funtastic, lining up a bunch of young-at-heart oldtimers should be a cinch. My skills, such as they are, are as rusty as the Titanic right now, and I’m hoping these sessions will help ease me back into the rec

hockey loop. The last time I participated in hockey skills development was when I stepped on the ice for an article I wrote on the Hockey Canada skills program run by Aaron Hoffman out of Vernon Secondary. Before that, it had been nearly 20 years since I had worked on any kind of skills training. Skating with Hoffman’s crew was a quantum leap compared to the kind of training I did in minor hockey, which consisted of mainly crossovers around the circles, the redlineblueline drill, St. Louis and scrimmage. It was probably more involved than that, and we did have some really good coaches even then, but with the way the game has evolved, the level was nowhere near what the kids learn these days. I figure if youngsters can have access to coaching and training like that (and actually enjoy it), why can’t I? It’s not like oldtimers couldn’t use the occasional hockey tune-up (or soccer, basketball, skiing... pick your sport). If anything, we could probably use it the most. You could argue that it is only a recreational sport, but I never want to get to the point where I think I’m too old to learn new things. Even if it has to do with a sport I’ve played for 30 years. I’ve watched rec players make the same mistakes over and over, and all it would take is a few pointers to correct them. The only problem is there is usually no one to help. That’s where this camp will come in handy. I can be honest with myself long enough to realize you could roll a beach ball through the holes in my skill set (good thing I’m not a goalie). I plan to work on some of those flaws when we hit the ice, and maybe even expose some new ones. There are still a few spaces left for the camp, which will be coached by Paul Britton. Anyone interested can call Jason Gilbert at 250-5491769.
Shuswap MLA George Abbott needs to take some time during the remaining days of summer and go for a drive to Falkland. It would be an ideal opportunity to meet with his constituents and discuss issues of concern to them, and specifically Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Abbott recently indicated he’s not convinced there’s a need to complete the two shelled-in floors at VJH for acute care beds, and that the opening of the new patient care tower may create sufficient efficiencies to resolve overcrowding and cancelled surgeries. Abbott’s view of things is completely contradictory to the message coming from physicians, nurses, civic leaders and even his own colleague, VernonMonashee MLA Eric Foster. But more importantly, Abbott is out of step with his own constituents. More than 400 Falkland residents have signed a petition demanding that the two shelledin floors be completed, and on Wednesday, there was a rally at the stampede grounds urging the government to take immediate action at VJH. The residents of Falkland rely on VJH, as do Armstrong, Enderby and the Shuswap — also represented by Abbott. They understand that conditions at VJH are challenging for physicians, staff and patients and even once the new tower opens in September, there is the very real prospect that patients will still be placed in hallways and surgeries will be scrapped because there aren’t a sufficient number of beds. It is time for Abbott, who is a former health minister, to discuss the situation openly with his constituents and represent their interests.

Who really pays?
I
am commenting on L.M. Nuefeld's letter in The Morning Star. The letter provided examples of road projects that seem to have 'missed the mark.' As much as we all want pretty roads and some of us do want bicycle paths, the question that Nuefeld exposes is – who are these projects serving and why are certain decisions made by municipalities with respect to bike paths and road works? The point of this letter is to peel back some of the layers of how decisions are made at the municipal level that allow for what may look like (or are, in actuality) liberal use or abuse of power at the municipal level. The Local Government Act and the Community Charter bestow broad powers on municipal governments. There are a number of reasons for this, one of which is to grant municipalities responsibility (and cost) for the upgrading of roads and such within their jurisdictions. This removes the cost burdens of road maintenance from the province. Road maintenance at the local level is supposed to be paid for through our local taxes. Lately, however, a new form of funding is on offer. The provincial government responded to the economic downturn by allowing municipalities’ access to gas tax GOOD NEWS We are transplanted Albertans who chose to enjoy our retirement back at my roots, so we returned to the Okanagan. We live on the west side of Okanagan Lake and each summer, we have a vacation Bible school at our community hall. The staff are all seniors (except one who is the son of a senior). I am the baby of the group and I have already reached freedom 55. Our games leaders are in their 80s. One of our craft helpers is over 85. This is his first year as a helper. Before this, he was the leader. This is not a ho-hum program but a foot-stomping, hand-clapping, wa-hoo, week that the kids absolutely love as they learn about God. We have ranch helpers that have grown up in the summer program and just wanted to come back one more year, so, we put them to work. Sometimes seniors feel they have been left on the back burn-

money for certain community-based projects. Bicycle paths fall under this category. Projects are generally spoken about in terms benefits to the community. Presumably these benefits outweigh the process of acquiring lands and gifts necessary to build them. This is one of the reasons that bicycle paths are popping up in all sorts of places. It is hard to say that a bicycle path doesn’t contribute to better health, or a more sustainable community, and face it, who wouldn’t want a “free” bicycle or multi-use path? There is one problem: the land necessary for these projects must be available to the municipality if they don’t currently own it. This is the missing piece of the “free” path or road upgrade. Up until very recently, it is developers, large and/or profit-based businesses, that
er and no one needs them anymore. No one told the staff of Avalanche Ranch at Killiney Beach Community Hall that. I asked them why they keep doing this. "We do it for the kids," they replied, as they galloped off with their little ranch crew. Seniors still loving little ones, erasing the generation differences, laughing with enthusiasm and gusto is definitely good news. Naomi Pearson PHARMACARE WOES I am a 94-year-old lady living on the poverty level. The health department has cancelled my Pharmacare benefits because I cannot find the 2009 notice of assessment. The government department that mails it out must have this information in one of their offices. I have had a business lady working on this for over two months and she has received no help or information.
“gift” land and services. If you are a business, the assumption is that you can afford to support the community to a greater or lesser extent. Sometimes, the cost of doing business in the North Okanagan is steep, however. Especially if your profits are being eroded by the economic downturn and you are struggling to keep afloat. Is this a problem? It could be for your business. Many of us assume that the passing of bylaws is fair and consistent with people's values. For the most part, they may be, but anyone who has gone to council and objected to a bylaw will soon find that this rarely has the effect of stopping or adjusting the bylaw. The reason: broad powers as it relates to bylaws – those laws that allow local authorities to dictate how we all go about living our lives and how simple words such
In the meantime, I'm writing cheques for $191, $75, $58, $36.38 and smaller amounts. I cannot pay these prescription prices. Is there someone out there who can tell me what to do? Marion Pearson BUS TERMINAL Did you know that the city bus terminal was once located in the same place where city council now proposes to relocate it? It was moved to the present location on Coldstream Avenue because the old location was unsafe. Bus passengers were harassed and robbed. This is a very unsavoury and dangerous area as has been proven. Come the dark days of fall and winter, there will be more problems. There will be no vehicle or pedestrian traffic, only a few street lights. Many people have expressed the need for evening bus service but at the proposed new location, they will be afraid of being robbed so they won't use it.
as building permit, development and gift get encoded into law. Very recently, the notion of development (often a word that embodies a negative connotation) has taken on a more ominous meaning in the North Okanagan through the wording of bylaws. The term development is now being applied broadly to any type of building permit. That means for you, the taxpayer and property owner, your municipal government has the power to force you to give them land for whatever purpose they demand. For example, in return for such requests as to upgrade your home, build a raised deck, or add a bathroom, you may be singled out for special “gifting” to your municipality. This labeling private individuals as developers in return for standard building permits puts every private home owner in this valley at risk for providing at least some form of funding for community projects such as road works and bicycle paths. Cash, road works, or land – it's all up for grabs. We all love beautiful roads and community spaces. But when individual citizens are expected to pay privately, we should all take note: which neighbour really pays? J. Paterson
The present location on Coldstream Avenue is well lit. Safeway and Shoppers Drug Mart are open until late, plus there's plenty of vehicle and pedestrian traffic, a deterrent to would-be thieves. It is time city hall gives some thought to bus users and their needs. Chopping down two very fine trees is unthinkable, unconscionable and unnecessary. Is this thinking green? E. Briggs POOR TASTE The cartoon that you ran of Jack Layton/NDP was totally out of line. Regardless of anyone’s political affiliation, it is completely unacceptable to portray a victim of a dreadful situation, in this case, a fight for his life against cancer, in such a thoughtless and demeaning manner. Shame on your editorial staff for allowing such an item to go to print. M.F. Langille

The new fitness equipment in Polson Park is ready to use, and Greater Vernon Parks and Recreation wants to make sure people get the information they need to use it properly. “People tend to just dive into an exercise routine and get injured or discouraged,” said Denise McMahon, with the parks department. “It’s important to slide into this at a pace your body can adjust to,” she told the class at an orientation session. The department is offering free orientations on how to use the new fitness equipment, led by McMahon. Six registered participants, along with a few onlookers, listened as McMahon explained how to use each piece of equipment properly, as well as why it is important to incorporate workout routines like this into your life. “It’s about staying functionally active,” she said, adding that most people there would not be training for a marathon. “People miss out on so much because of their limitations.”

Registrations a concern Participation is plunging for youth sports and that has Lumby area politicians taking action. The White Valley Parks and Recreation Committee is concerned that registrations are down for many youth groups such as figure skating and swimming. “We’re spending more to upgrade our sports facilities but the groups may not be around to enjoy them,” said Rick Fairbairn, committee chairperson. Presently, $524,525 is being spent on a new liner for the pool and a new condenser and Rick Fairbairn dehumidifier at the curling club and at Pat Duke Arena. The work received a $400,000 provincial government grant, and the remainder of the budget is being covered by Lumby, rural Lumby and Cherryville taxpayers. The committee will work with local sports groups in an attempt to increase registration. “Advertising is one way that could be looked at,” said Fairbairn. “We need to get the word out to the community that the facilities are available and affordable.” Fairbairn admits, though, that increasing usage may ultimately require an even larger subsidy from taxpayers. “It may be time to look at the rental fees,” he said, adding that the cost may present a challenge for some groups and families. There is also a concern that a lack of recre-
ational activities may lead some families to leave the Lumby area or it may not be attractive to new families, and that could have a negative impact on economic conditions. “The reason we’re here is to offer programs for the health of the community,” said Fairbairn.

With an impressive 206 net horsepower, proprietary 6-speed automatic transmission, panoramic sunroof, and LCD trip computer, the Sonata Hybrid feels more like driving a conventional automobile.

Prokopchuk
Police still seek robbery suspect
TROPITONE Instant Factory Rebate Sale! Tropitone 7-piece Torino
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The search is still on for a suspect linked to a Vernon bank heist. An arrest warrant was issued Tuesday for Christopher David Prokopchuk, 32, for an armed robbery at the Royal Bank on Highway 6 July 22. Few tips have come in since the public was alerted to the warrant. “We’ve been looking for him for a bit and there’s nothing yet,” said Gord Molendyk, Vernon RCMP detachment spokesperson. There are no indications as to Prokopchuk’s whereabouts, or if he is still in the North Okanagan. “He may not even be in town,” said Molendyk. The RCMP is asking for the public’s assistance in locating Prokopchuk but they should only call the nearest detachment and not actually approach the suspect. “He showed what appeared to be the butt of a gun during the robbery so we have to consider him to be dangerous,” said Molendyk. Prokopchuk is described as being five-foot-10 and 181 pounds, with brown hair and eyes. He has a Roman numeral tattoo on his left neck and the word “Porkchop” tattooed on his shoulders. According to police, Prokopchuk has a Canada-wide warrant for a parole violation.

Festival wheels into Star Morning Star Staff
Silver Star Mountain Resort is jamming as many mountain bike activities into this coming weekend as possible. The Two Wheel Festival runs Saturday and Sunday, and it includes Ryan Leech putting on trials shows at 1 p.m. both days. “What Ryan can do with a bike is incredible and needs to be seen to be believed,” said Ian Galbraith, summer business manager. “Ryan’s shows are free to watch as is the Camp of Champions air bag which is conveniently located beside the deck of the Bulldog Hotel.” — Ian Galbraith The Camp of Champions giant mountain bike air bag is for jumping into without really having to worry about landing. The public can try the air bag out for a donation of a non-perishable food item to the Vernon food bank. The air bag will be at the front of the village from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. Norco Bicycles will also be in the resort showing off its 2012 lineup of new bikes. There will also be a chance to chat with Norco pro riders Sam Dueck, Brett Rheeder and Ryan Leech. “We’ve also fired up the old Dag’s Downhill course and will be running a fun DH Race complete with digital timing,” said Galbraith. The race runs Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. And the main event of the weekend will be the Silver Style Jump Jam Saturday from 4 to 6 p.m. “For the past week, the Silver Star trail crew and some dedicated volunteers have been working hard to create a new jump line for the rider-judged
event,” said Galbraith. “The venue is very visible from the village and will be really spectator-friendly.” More than 70 competitors are expected during the Silver Style Jump Jam and they will be hitting two lines in a jam format.

Pospisil courts dream matchup Upset win pits Vernon tennis star against idol Federer ED KLAJMAN For The Morning Star
TORONTO - Vernon’s Vasek Pospisil is a fast-rising tennis star who can look forward to many special matches in his future. But no matter what he achieves in the game over the coming years, nothing will compare to what he experienced at the $2.43 million Rogers Cup in Montreal this week. First, he registered by far the biggest win of his career on Tuesday, upsetting the 22nd-ranked player in the world, Argentina’s Juan Ignacio Chela, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. Then he collected his reward for that win – a second-round match on Uniprix Stadium Court the next day against his idol and the man many experts regard as the greatest tennis player of all time – Roger Federer. Pospisil may have lost to the 16-time Grand Slam champion, but he made it competitive, falling 7-5, 6-3. Afterward, he was all smiles as he spoke about living out his childhood dream. “It was incredible. I will never forget this,” said the 21-yearold, who started the year ranked No. 340 in the world. He is now up to No. 155, thanks to an amazing stretch that includes claiming titles at lower-tier tournaments, as well as winning pressure-packed matches that have enabled Canada to reach the brink of the prestigious World Group in Davis Cup competition. In his post-match comments, Federer had lots of praise for Pospisil, who seems poised to join the upper echelon in men’s tennis. “When I was going out to the court, it was like, ‘this guy has for sure a good serve,’” said the Swiss superstar who turned 30 on Monday. “And I knew that was his strength, alongside with his forehand, let’s say. He obviously has options with his size and his serve to completely change his playing style in the next few years. I think he looked very promising, with a lot of talent. Now it’s up to him to see how far he can take it.” Pospisil was delighted to hear those words after facing Federer for 77 minutes. “That’s incredible, hearing that from him. He’s been my favourite for eight years. I’ve been watching his games on TV every week. So it feels good to hear that,” he said. Pospisil was shut out in the first game, but rebounded quickly and used some power baseline shots to keep the poised Federer interested throughout the set. The second set saw Federer’s trademark of incredible shotmaking which had Pospisil hustling from side to side, forcing the youngster to knock several passing shots and forehands into the net. — Vasek Federer held Pospisil scoreless in four of the first seven games of the set. Next up for Pospisil is trying to qualify for the U.S. Open in New York – the season’s final Grand Slam event that begins
ARTURO VELAZQUEZ
Vernon’s Vasek Pospisil returns a ball in his match against Argentina’s Juan Ignacio Chela, the 22nd-ranked player in the world, Tuesday at the $2.43 million Rogers Cup in Montreal. Pospisil upset Chela 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. in late August. After the win over Chela, he made it clear he’ll now be carrying a load of confidence into that tournament and expects he may raise even more eyebrows there. “I’m looking forward to it. Maybe I won’t even be too far from being seeded maybe in quallies (the qualifying round). Wins like this (Chela), they help you in Pospisil every aspect of the game.” Born in Vernon, Pospisil was first coached by his father, Milos. The two would walk across the street to the Vernon Secondary School courts, pushing a gro-

cery cart full of tennis balls for practice. Vasek attended Beairsto Elementary until Grade 7 when Milos quit his job at Okanagan Spring Brewery and moved, with his wife, Mila, to Vancouver, where Vasek could get yearround training. In past years, Vasek received professional coaching in the Czech Republic and soon found himself winning elite tournaments. He has two older brothers, Tomas and Petr, both of whom were nationally-ranked junior tennis players. Petr teaches at Kitsilano Secondary School in Vancouver. Vasek had career earnings of $103,700 going into the Rogers Cup.

season,” said netminder Chad Pieper, who recorded 37 saves. Added Shamrock president Jeff Hanley: “We would like to thank our great fans and wonderful sponsors this year. Without them we would not be playing.” As Shaw Cup champions, the Raiders are eligible to play in the B.C. Championship Treasure Cove Casino Cup (formerly Alcan Cup) in Prince George, but are unable to field a team due to time, money and work commitments. With the OXLL already having paid an entry fee, Pieper is assembling an inter-provincial senior C team with players from Armstrong, Calgary, Edmonton and Prince George. Local players include Tim Rice, Steve Clark, Dan Giger and Brent Anderson. “It should be a fun time,” said Pieper.
The Armstrong Shamrocks needed a comeback to advance to the Shaw Cup final. They were on the wrong end of one to lose it. Up by four goals in the second period, the Rocks ultimately fell 9-6 to the regular-season champion Kelowna Raiders in Game 3 of the Okanagan X-treme Lacrosse League championship series in a leaky Memorial Arena Wednesday night. “It was a good series. We wish the result would have been Chad Pounder different, but I am proud of the way our team battled throughout the season and the playoffs,” said player/coach Chad Pounder. With a slight delay to start the game due to a power outage and a punctured roof caused by a massive thunderstorm, both teams came out a bit tentative. Armstrong opened the scoring halfway through the opening frame on an outside screen shot by sniper Steve Clark. The Rocks added to their lead with a nice shorthanded solo effort by Logan Strohm. The Raiders’ Braden Renner completed the firstperiod scoring on a pick-and-roll. The Shamrocks, boosted by an estimated 100-strong cheering section, surged ahead in the second frame on quick singles by Clark, Brett Heitman and junior call-up Cullen Rowan to go up 5-1. This seemed to awaken the Raiders, who then took over the game. Victor Wiens, on a breakaway, followed by a single from Luke Bailey and two more from Kyle MacLennan (2+3) evened the score at 5-5 with five minutes to go in the period. The Raiders took the lead before the intermission when an errant pass hit a stick and deflected right into the Armstrong net. Play had to be stopped several times throughout the game to mop up water from the roof. Bailey, who added two helpers, struck twice more for his hat trick in the third frame, with Joe Brown potting an insurance marker. Strohm had Armstrong’s lone goal in the period. “Kelowna’s defence held the Shamrock’s big guns, Logan Strohm and Steve Clark, to two goals apiece. Meanwhile, Kelowna rookie Luke Bailey dazzled the crowd with (three goals and two assists),” said Raiders’ general manager/president Jules Morris. “Graham Cousins (31 saves) had another outstanding performance in net, stopping many Armstrong fastbreaks all evening.” Kelowna veteran Pho Heng recorded five assists. “The last two games really showed the fans great lacrosse. The skill in this league keeps improving every year. We will lose a few guys next year, but the core of the team will be returning for the 2012

Race goes to wire in Masters soccer Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division title will be decided on the final night of the regular season. Setter’s Pub of Salmon Arm brushed back the Vernon Chick Kickers 2-0 in a first-place showdown Tuesday night at sun-drenched Marshall Field #3. The Kickers (12-3-2) have 38 points, while Setter’s (11-2-4) sit at 37 going into next week action. The Kickers play the Vernon Controllers (9-4-3 with a game left Thursday night), while Setter’s go up against the Shuswap Kaos (2-12-3). It was a pretty even fixture Tuesday with the Shuswap gang simply able to finish on their scoring chances and the Chicks recording several near misses and running into strong goalkeeping. While the Chicks still sit at the top of the table, they lost Wendy Magnus, and HeeSon Domay to season-ending knee injuries so will finish the season with a bench of 12.
NOU mauls Merlot 3-0 In other Masters play Tuesday, the Vernon Square Liquor Store North Okanagan United shut down the Shuswap Merlot 3-0 at Marshall #4. (Lean) Lena Dean scored twice as United got past the .500 mark at 8-7-2. Dean converted one shot in off the crossbar and buried a great through ball by Melissa Jacobs, while Carla Gibson applied some magical spin on the ball for the other NOU tally. Strong showings were turned in by Cheryl Roddis and Claudia Chalakbi in the midfield, while Rita Nedesco seemed extra energized after getting hitched on the weekend. NOU bid farewell to Chalakbi, who is moving up north. NOU defenders Pat Neilson and Penny Crebo-Dolman, along with midfielders Teresa Collins and Sarah Kwantes, also
shined. Dar Wiese was solid in earning the shutout. The Merlot dropped to 7-8-2. Goplen’s Drillers brushed back the Shuswap Kaos 1-0 at Marshall #5. The Drillers controlled most of the play in the first half with forwards Shelley Zupp, Karen Zupp, Geri O’Brien and midfielders Tina Garrison and Lisa Lanaway enjoying scoring chances. Great passing to create open shots came from Stephanie Curtis. With the guidance of veteran keeper Shawn Nickoli, the back line held Kaos to no shots on net in the opening half. With the weather cooling at the start of the second half, the Goplen gang continued their offensive attack and with 15 minutes left, finally scored when Tina Garrison parachuted a nice corner in front of the Kaos net. The ball was headed into the air by Lanaway and then nodded in by Shelley Zupp. The ball narrowly missed the hands of Kaos keeper, who was fantastic throughout the night to keep her team in the game. Coach Darren Zupp was pleased with the 5-8-3 Drillers’ ground attack, but would have loved to see more shots find the net. The Kaos are 2-12-3.
Floss crew get past Blazers In Competitive Division action, Dr. Lee Dental Clinic/Checkers erased an early 2-0 deficit and bounced the AF Blazers 7-2 Tuesday night at Marshall #2. Delinah Erbenich scored both goals for the Blazers (1-10-3). Erbenich headed in a corner by Ally Cummings for her first goal, and then Paula Brownlee feathered the ball through and Erbenich blasted it through the keeper. Jacquie Hansen, on a solo effort, responded for Dr. Lee before the break. After a reality check and some choice words from their coach at halftime, Dr. Lee (10-4) cranked up their offence.
STEPHANIE DRYHURST/MORNING STAR
Colline Johnson of the Vernon Chick Kickers defends against Marie Peterson of Setter’s Pub as Peterson follows through on a shot on net in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division action Tuesday night. Veterans Irene Arrotta and Hansen each had a pair for the Floss crew. Kim Tiechman, on a great through ball by Madison Kaneda (three assists), Kirsten Dodds from Lisa Goodgrove, and Kaneda from Kirsten Dodds, who did most of the work on the goal, completed the scoring. Keeper Lisa Arrotta stopped three breakaways in the first half to keep the Floss crew within striking distance.
Outlaws clipped 2-1 by United TED United of Salmon Arm clipped the Little Tex Outlaws 2-1 in other Competitive play Tuesday at Marshall Field #1. Keeper Gineil Ferrier was outstanding,
stopping numerous shots to keep Little Tex in the game. The back line led by Stacey Cover, Christine Fraser, Kristy Anderson and Christine Neilson were tireless all game, while Anita Rea was strong in the middle, creating several scoring opportunities and having a few herself. Monica Neilson scored for the Outlaws (9-5-1) and was a workhorse up front with countless scoring chances. Steph Stewart delivered loads of great dangerous crosses and Jordan Mercer had a solid night up front. United, who boast one of the league’s top keepers, improved to 11-2-2 to clinch the regular-season crown.

Vernon’s Conner Kozak carded a 4-over 75 in Thursday’s opening round of the Canadian Men’s Amateur Golf Championships in Winnipeg. Playing at the Elmhurst Golf & Country Club, Kozak carded nines of 39-36. He bogeyed the second and third holes, but rebounded with birdies on 10 and 18. The Seaton Sonic grad will play on scholarship with the UBC Thunderbirds this fall. With half the field of 234 still playing at either Elmhurst or the Niakwa Golf & Country Club, at press time Thursday afternoon, three players turned in morning scores of 3-under 68. Wilson Bateman of Spruce Grove, Alta., Mackenzie Hughes of Dundas, Ont. and Lewis Chong of Lethbridge were the early leaders. There will be a cut after Friday’s 18. The 2011 Canadian Men’s Amateur Champion will earn an Exemption into the 2012 RBC Canadian Open. Meanwhile, Gudmund Lindbjerg of Port Moody came a long way back to win the B.C. Senior Men’s Championship at Squamish Valley Golf Club. Lindbjerg, who plays out of Pitt Meadows, shot a 3-under 69 in Thursday’s final round to defeat 2006 champion Tony Hatchwell of Nanaimo by one stroke. Lindbjerg opened with an 81 in the first round and then carded a 71. Hatchwell went 79-71-72. Vernon’s Michael Sheldon finished in a threeway share of 66th place at 79-82-83-244. There was a field of 160. Vernon players Mark Longworth and Greg Betts failed to make the 36-hole cut. Lance Lundy, formerly of Hillview and now out of Pemberton Big Sky Golf, tied for 15th at 74-78-78-230.
Lewis lands Canada West duty B.C. Hockey League
The Vernon Vipers’ head coaching job wasn’t the only vacancy left when Mark Ferner left to work with the Everett Silvertips. In departing for the Western Hockey League, Ferner also relinquished his role as head coach of Canada West at the upcoming Junior A Hockey Challenge, Nov. 7-13 in Langley. Taking his place is Powell River Kings’ head coach Kent Lewis. For Lewis, the call from Hockey Canada was a welcome one. “Last year, I didn’t apply but I gave it some thought late in the season that if the opportunity came up, I’d certainly love to do it,” said Lewis, 44. “When Mark left to the WHL, I knew the opportunity was there and when I got the call from Hockey Canada, I was tickled.”

It won’t be the first time Lewis has coached a Canadian squad in an international event. He guided a senior men’s team to the Allan Cup in 2000. “Like any coach, you get wrapped up in an international event. It’s a thrill to coach and a great challenge. There’s lots of pressure and expectations to live up to and that’s what makes it fun,” said Lewis. Meanwhile, Enderby’s Nick Amies was acquired by the Penticton Vees from the Cowichan Valley Capitals in exchange for future considerations. The 19-year-old blueliner, a former Viper, was limited to just 19 games in Cowichan last season due to concussion problems, earning three assists and four penalty minutes. The 6-foot-2, 185-pounder had 14 points in 57 games in the 2009-10 campaign, split between the Vipers and Capitals.

Vernon duo cracks Tour top-10 Morning Star Staff
Vernon had two players finish top-10 in the Boys 17+ Division of the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s MJT Okanagan Junior Championship at Predator Ridge Golf Resort. There was a sold-out field of young talented players who battled the heat, which hovered around 36 degrees Celsius for 36 holes, ending Tuesday.
Brad Jones, who plays out of the Vernon Golf & Country Club, carded 77-72-149 to finish third, four strokes back of Calgary’s John McKiernan (68-77) and two behind Jesse Reichelt of Langley. McKiernan’s 68 was the tournament low round. Reichelt snagged his second silver-medal finish of the season and pocketed a Mr. Lube Long Drive prize.
Randy Todoyschuk of Vernon joined Jones in the top10 with 75-79-154 for a share of seventh spot with Langley’s Ryan Saran. Brady Stead of Vernon, who plays out of Spallumcheen with Todoyschuk, tied for 13th at 84-74-158, earning the Golf Town Comeback Award for the division. There was a field of 31. In the Boys 14-16 Division, Marcus Brown of Surrey, 15, won a five-hole playoff over Lucas Gatto of Burnaby after both players finished at 141. Brown drained a 20-foot putt to win the playoff. David Guterson, 16, of Calgary placed third at 146, shooting the low round of the division, at 69, in his opening round. Austin Bosquet of Coldstream (84-86-170) and Matthew Kreutz of Vernon (81-89-170) shared 20th place with two other players. Alex Kreutz of Vernon tied for 24th at 95-76-171.
Landon Stellingwerff, 12, of Calgary, won the Boys 13 and Under title at 83-80-163, one shot better than Mr. Lube Long Drive champion, Braden McKay, of Rossland. The Golf Town Comeback Award in the division went to Nathanael Dubland of Armstrong, a Spall golfer who shot 135-120. The Girls Division featured quite the battle as Kelowna’s Madison Kapchinsky, 16, came from behind (74-77-151) to win by four strokes over Jessica Claggett of Kelowna and Breanne Fredette of Winnipeg. The Boston Pizza-presented Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour concludes its B.C. schedule Aug. 29-30 at Hazelmere Golf and Country Club in Surrey.

GREATER VERNON WATER UTILITY - WATER QUALITY ADVISORY - UPDATE The Regional District of North Okanagan - Greater Vernon Water Utility (RDNO - GVWU) advises that the Water Quality Advisory will continue until further notice for customers on the Duteau Creek water source. 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.

!RTISTS SPLASH A LITTLE RED FOR #AETANI The spirit of Italy is about to be evoked at Vernon’s newest event KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
It’ll be a moment of refinement and fun with red lipstick staining glasses of Valpolicella and steaming bowls of pasta enjoyed under the starry sky. With the strains of O Sole Mio crooned in the background, artists will gather to talk about the paintings they have brought along to be auctioned. And it’s all happening on the property where one of Vernon’s most celebrated artists, Sveva Caetani, once lived, she who was secluded from the world, and later set free to explore her creativity and share it with her community. Funds raised from A Splash of Red, taking place Aug. 25, will go to the Caetani Cultural Centre Society, which now runs the house and property as an artist education centre, complete with artist studios and residences, where artists not only create art, they share it with the community through courses, markets and other events. “People need to know the Caetani Cultural Centre is here and surviving and making its own distinction,� said Heidi Maddess, who sits on the Caetani centre board, and is one of the artists donating her work to the auction. “If we don’t have a venue or outlet that provides art, people move to the next town,� added Vernon and internationally renowned mural artist Michelle Loughery, who once lived in the Caetani house. “Artists need to take initiative of what they create and how they raise funds, and this event is a good way for them to connect with their audiences on a more personal level.�
KRISTIN FRONEMAN /MORNING STAR
Artists Angelika Jaeger, left, Michelle Loughery, Heidi Maddess and singer/performer Judy Rose have organized a special evening devoted to the memory of late artist Sveva Caetani and the property she bequeathed to the community. Held in the well-maintained gardens at the Caetani centre, A Splash of Red will be an elegant Italian-style evening, where everyone is encouraged to dress in red, black and white. And this is an event where a hearty appetite for food, wine and art is required. Guests will not only be greeted with a hand-painted glass of Italian sparkling wine, prosecco, with appetizers to help wash it down, while musicians perform, they will nosh on a catered Italian meal, with an attention to local ingredients, served al fresco and family style at a table of 10, headed by an artist and his or her partner. Italian wines will be served through the evening, with Okanagan Spirits’ grappa and a decadent tiramisu as dessert.
“People need to know the Caetani Cultural Centre is here and surviving and making its own distinction.� — Heidi Maddess This is an event Sveva herself would have enjoyed and supported, said local singer Judy Rose, who will perform Italian love songs throughout the evening. Rose and fellow organizer, artist Angelica Jaeger, worked on the Reciprocation calendar project
that raised funds for the Caetani centre a number of years ago, and both are keen on making A Splash of Red an annual affair. “The house has served the community through the art gallery and the city, and now it’s time to give back to the house. We have a vision of keeping Sveva’s memory and the Caetani house alive. The house needs a lot of love and attention,� said Rose. Besides supporting the evolution of Caetani’s vision in providing a location for an artistic and cultural centre in the North Okanagan, event organizers aspire to create art education in a social setting, bringing the public and artists closer together. That’s why the art auction will be short and intimate with only 20 pieces by renowned regional art-
ists up on the block; plus each artist will be introduced and will talk about his/her particular work, said Jaeger. In addition, the Caetani studios will be open for visitors to peruse and meet the artists. “We wanted to get the artists and audience to connect and meet,� said Jaeger. “Personally, I like to talk to people who make the art. I like the social aspect of it.� Artists participating in the auction include Julie Oakes, David Montpetit, David Alexander, Kenna Graff, Mike Jell, Sandra de Vries, Gail Short, Heidi Thompson, Carolina Sanchez de Bustamante, Lynne Hossay, Christine Kashuba, Gale Woodhouse, Bob Kingsmill, Colleen Couves, Doug Alcock, Neil Erickson, as well as Loughery, Jaeger and Maddess, with a collection of art being offered up by Jody La Fontaine. With the purchase of a ticket, attendees will not only get the dining experience and art auction, but also the opportunity to win original pieces of art donated by emerging local artists such as Hannah Griffin, Trish Dixon and James Postill. Also available is the Four Pillars of Destiny essential course by local feng shui expert Teresa Hwang, a copy of Caetani’s Recapitulation - A Journey book, edited and published by Heidi Thompson, a free massage by Dianna April, jewelry by Susan Richards, a felt piece by Mireille Gourlay, and 20 tiles with the new Caetani logo by Sanchez de Bustamante. Only 100 tickets at $100 each are being sold, and can be purchased at the Bean Scene coffee house in Vernon until Aug. 22. Gates to the Caetani Cultural Centre at 3401 Pleasant Valley Rd. will open at 6 p.m. Aug. 25, with dinner starting at 7 p.m. For more information on the evening and the featured artists, or to help sponsor the event, email ASplashofRed@hotmail.com or visit the blog at okanagansplashofred. wordpress.com.

n a Freaky Friday maneuver for big kids, Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds switch bodies: devoted family man and irresponsible party hound trade places. On paper, it sounds awfully good. On screen, it’s more awful than good. Maybe this whole switcheroo thing has simply been done to death and The Change-Up Jason Armstrong isn’t that bad. And truth be told, if you can survive the juvenile and embarrassingly stale script by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, it is fun to watch Reynolds and Bateman do their thing; even if this exercise has been so recycled, one of the film’s stars (Leslie Mann) attended the exact same dance two summers ago in 17 Again. Bateman plays Dave Lockwood, a workaholic attorney so desperate to make partner at his law firm, his wife (Mann) and three young kids have to compete for his time. His buddy, Mitch Planko (Reynolds), is the exact opposite; a wannabe actor who wastes daylight hours getting stoned and bedding women. When the friends hook up for a night of boozing, they bemoan their existence and, while relieving themselves in what turns out to be a magic fountain in the middle of a park, they simultaneously wish they had each other’s lives. Ka-boom. You know the rest.

Jason Batemen and Ryan Reynolds play best friends who switch bodies a la Freaky Friday in The Change-Up. Dave wakes up as Mitch, Mitch wakes up as Dave, fountain goes bye-bye and hilarity ensues. Or so, one would hope. The Change-Up isn’t great, primarily ‘cause it just isn’t fresh. Well, that, and the unfortunate fact that Lucas and Moore obviously think the mere utterance of the F-word is comedy gold. (I realize it’s a most versatile word, boys, I mean, how many other words can be used as a noun, an adjective, a verb and more, but here’s an idea; when you use it, as you do about
9,000 times here, have a reason to do so.) It’s a good thing Bateman and Reynolds –– both fine actors –– are game to play along, as is Olivia Wilde, who seems to relish her role as a good girl turned bad. Without them, The Change-Up would be a pretty ugly film. Yes, the switched-identity genre has never been quite so raunchy, but past that, nothing much has changed. The Change-Up is currently playing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.
Move west a good decision Amy Cunningham: To the Stars We’ll Return
T
he pull of the west lures many creative individuals and Vancouver Island singer/ songwriter Amy Cunningham heard the siren call from Ontario and headed out. Her music reflects this spirit, focussing on ecocentric themes and the natural world. That doesn’t mean that she does the hippie dance in flowing robes, Dean Gordon-Smith chanting the “don’t know where I’m going/don’t know where I’ve been” flower child tranquility mantra. Cunningham’s music is tranquil and soothing with a regional feeling for folk/ country forms (Freedom). Her voice has a calming effect reminiscent of Jewel around the edges. Acoustic guitars, banjo and mandolin feaCover of Amy Cunningham’s new ture in her songs CD, To The Stars We’ll Return. and her musical
STREET SOUNDS
cohorts support the material with insight, giving much of the music a warm undertone that recalls the best of the mid-‘70s heyday of B.C. West Coast folk rock. The lilt in Cunningham’s voice finds a mirror in the upbeat drone of Onelife, a haunting track whose simplicity brings out an ethereal texture. This sound works some mystery on other cuts like Saving Grace, a dark tinged meditation on music’s beckoning light. The gentle moods on To the Stars We’ll Return are enhanced by the atmospheric character of Cunningham’s melodic songs. Sincerity and depth shine through her songs and bring obvious subject matter new believability (Love).
The latest music is reviewed every Friday in Street Sounds

The film imaginatively explores the hilarity, confusion, and surprises of love through the evolving consciousness of Oliver (Ewan McGregor). Oliver meets the irreverent and unpredictable Anna (Mélanie Laurent) only months after his father Hal (Christopher Plummer) has passed away. This new love floods Oliver with memories of his father who – following 44 years of marriage – came out of the closet at age 75 to live a full, energized, and wonderfully tumultuous life. The upheavals of Hal’s new honesty, by turns funny and moving, brought father and son closer than they’d ever been able to be. Now Oliver endeavours to love Anna with all the bravery, humour, and hope that his father taught him. All films screen at the Vernon Towne Cinema at 5:45 and 8 p.m. Advance tickets ($7) are on sale one week in advance at the theatre and The Bean Scene.

NO COVER CHARGE!
Southern swamp roots will be growing in the Shuswap when artist JJ Grey and his band Mofro give two performances at the 19th annual Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival next weekend. Grey and his band will perform songs from their latest release, Georgia Warhorse, which features 11 original compositions, and one co-write, that come right out of the Southern musical tradition. An avid outdoorsman, Grey is a dedicated fisherman and surfer and holds an honorary position on the board of the Snook Foundation, dedicated to the protection of coastal fish and fish habitat. He has written passionately and articulately about his love for the untrammeled environment of his north Florida home. His latest album is named after the resilient southern lubber grasshopper. “(They are) yellow and black, and tough like an old-school Tonka toy,” said Grey. “They seem so at ease with the world. Nothing seems to rile them. They’re in no hurry, but they have a kind of resilience because they just keep coming back, and I’ve always felt there was a lesson in there for me to learn.” Joining him for a track on the album is Grey’s long-time musical hero and reggae icon Toots Hibbert, who sings on the The Sweetest Thing. “Toots is the greatest soul singer I’ve ever heard and one of my biggest influences,” said Grey. Georgia Warhorse also provided the opportunity for Grey to work with another friend and hero, fellow Jacksonvillian guitarist Derek Trucks. In true neighborly fashion, Trucks stopped by Grey’s house to record slide guitar for the song Lullaby. Singing with a passion and fervor directly influenced by the classic soul heroes, Grey has written and recorded five albums of original songs steeped in the rhythm and blues, rock and
country soul of his native backwoods home outside Jacksonville. He made his debut with the CD Blackwater, followed in 2004 by Lochloosa, which were met with critical acclaim, including “one of the 10 best releases of the year” in Rolling Stone Magazine for Lochloosa. Both albums (reissued in 2007) were released under the name Mofro, which Grey chose to describe his music and sound while still working his day job at a lumberyard. Now the name of his band, Grey has teamed up with an ever-changing group of world-class players. Grey reached an even larger audience, doubling both his album sales and his concert attendance, with his 2007 release, Country Ghetto, while 2008’s Orange Blossoms built on that momentum with even more fans, radio stations and critics coming on board. A 2009 best-of vinyl LP, The Choice Cuts, kept the momentum going. With the release of Georgia Warhorse and a relentless world tour to follow, Grey is set for a breakout year. Commenting on his musical future, he says, “Life just makes itself up right in front of me and I just roll with it. All I know is to have the family I have, see the places I’ve been, meet the people I’ve met and to get to play music with some of the most talented folks around has got to make me the luckiest man alive.” JJ Grey and Mofro play the TD Canada Trust Main Stage Saturday, Aug. 20 at 8:45 p.m. and the Blues Stage Sunday, Aug. 21 at 3:50 p.m. Other artists playing the Roots and Blues Festival Aug. 19 to 21 at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds include Jonny Lang, Taj Mahal, Five Alarm Funk, Arkells, Ben Waters Trio, Broken Social Scene and many more. Weekend and day advance tickets are on sale until midnight tonight at www.rootsandblues.ca or call 250-8334096. Full-price passes are available at the gate.

An exchange of cultures CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Rotary International has been sponsoring students in the youth exchange program since 1929. About 9,000 students from around the world have a chance to experience another culture each year. Josh Readshaw, a 16-year-old Vernon secondary school Grade 12 student, heard about the program from an Austrian friend who was in Canada on exchange. Now he’s headed to Austria as a Silver Star Rotary Club youth exchange student. “I love to travel and learn about different countries and cultures and see as much as possible,” said Readshaw, who has travelled to China, Hawaii, Alaska and across Canada. He will live with Austrian families in Linz and go to a German-speaking school where he will learn the language. As a long-time minor hockey player, he had a chance to try out for a hockey team in Austria but decided he would rather use his spare time to travel.
“You become a part of the families where you stay and do what they would do.

I have been talking to my host sister and she says I will do what they do — shop, go to the beach and to clubs. And I would like to join a soccer team there,” said Jones. “I want to experience everything that Brazil has to offer. I’m going without expectations. I’m really excited about living in another country.” She will be living in Belohorizante, a large city in the southeast state of Minas Gerais, where the average temperature is 27 degrees Celsius. Her Canadian gifts include maple syrup and pancake mix, as well as pins, flags and pencils. “I’m going to make a Canadian breakfast for them,” she said. Jones plans to work when she returns to Canada and then study to be a naturopathic physician.

Young family needs support Morning Star Staff
Dave Hickling is a proud grandfather who is thrilled to announce the arrival of the newest member of the family: Colton John Silas Hickling. The baby boy was born July 30 at Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster to Dave’s daughter-inlaw and son, Christina Pokorny and Justin Hickling. It’s been a long and difficult journey to get to this point. Tina, 25, has been on the coast since June, after she began bleeding during her pregnancy and doctors discovered amniotic fluid in the blood. Meanwhile, her husband, Justin, 28, has been struggling to care for the couple’s two young sons, Leland, four, and Hunter, two, back home in Enderby. Disabled and on a pension, Dave does what he can, but he has been asking for help from the community for his son,
daughter-in-law and grandsons. “The travelling back and forth has been really tough and because Justin doesn’t drive, he needs help with travel expenses,” said Dave. “And he’s also been needing help with childcare.” Not due until September, Colton weighed in at 4.8 pounds and mother and child are both doing well, but Dave said help is still needed for the family. Donations can be made at the Enderby District Credit Union to the Hickling Fund, account number 9142-1. Donations can also
be sent to Ashton Creek Christian Fellowship, 935 Mabel Lake Rd., Enderby, B.C., V0E 1V5. If a receipt is required, please call George Rands at 250-838-6690 or include your name and address with your donation, and one will be mailed to you. “I want people to know that all donations go into the church account and they are released only when we present receipts for expenses,” said Dave, adding that the family sends a huge thank-you to all who have shown their kindness and support during this difficult journey.”

trying everything they can, and honestly, none of us knows what to do anymore. Can you help? — Concerned Brother Dear Brother: Your brother has anxiety issues that have not been addressed, so they have become worse over time. In addition, he may now be suffering from depression. This is not to say he isn’t also using his anxiety as an excuse to avoid responsibility, but it nonetheless can be crippling to deal with. Your parents should get a referral to a psychiatrist and then insist that your brother make an appointment and be evaluated. There is medication for anxiety disorders, and the sooner he can be helped, the better. Dear Annie: “Scared Sister” said she was afraid whenever her sister, “Louise,” had to drive at night, because her vision was impaired. My 22-year-old son’s night driving was scary.
It took two separate visits to the ophthalmologist to discover that he had congenital cataracts. It affected his depth perception. He was very clumsy as a little kid and had a lot of bruises. It was unnerving to be questioned by the school principal about child abuse. Despite multiple eye exams, the cataracts were not diagnosed until recently. Maybe
“Louise” has the same condition. — Accused Mom

ear Annie: I am 26 and a single parent to a 3-year-old girl. I love my daughter more than anything in this world. However, in the past few months, she has become a brat and a monster, doing everything she can to test me. Due to recent financial problems, we had to move in with my mother until I can finish my degree and get a job. No matter what discipline I use, nothing works because my mother undermines me. There is no consistency in what is right or wrong. My mother always gives in to her every request. Once in a while, I will spank my daughter, but only on very rare occasions. I would never hurt her. My mother, however, cornered me and gave me a lecture on how awful I am for spanking my child. Yet I can clearly recall being spanked by my mother numerous times when I was little. Mom often questions my parenting in front of my daughter and then

Kidney Walk helps promote awareness CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Kidneys keep working quietly all the time. The scary thing is that kidneys can keep working until 50 per cent of their function is gone, but with absolutely no symptoms. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing, but early detection can prevent or delay the need for dialysis or kidney transplant. It can also help prevent a heart attack. The Kidney Walk in Vernon aims to raise awareness, money for services and research, and encourage people who want to donate kidneys and other organs to be sure they are properly registered. “So many people say they are willing to be organ donors but they aren’t,” said Amy Litster, Vernon Kidney Walk coordinator. “They might think they are but there has been a
Symptoms of Chronic kidney disease ■ foamy or bloody urine ■ fatigue/shortness of breath ■ loss of appetite ■ Nausea ■ Headaches ■ frequent nighttime urination ■ puffiness of ankles, feet, or eyes ■ persistent generalized itching ■ bad taste in mouth Risk factors for developing chronic kidney disease ■ diabetes ■ high blood pressure ■ heart disease ■ family history of kidney disease ■ an ancestral background that is Aboriginal, African, Asian, South Asian, or Hispanic ■ over 50 What can you do for your kidneys? ■ keep fit and active ■ keep regular control of your blood sugar level ■ monitor your blood pressure ■ reduce your salt intake ■ eat healthy and keep your weight in check ■ do not smoke ■ do not take over-the-counter pills on a regular basis change.

Smarties hosts a party in the park Morning Star Staff
To celebrate the third anniversary of the Smarties program, Gallery Vertigo is pulling out all the stops. Join the gallery on Sunday for an extravaganza of art-making activities and treats in Cenotaph Park behind the gallery. Activities will include sidewalk chalk drawing, face painting and a pinata, with instructors Ryan Robson and Skye Moore. The fun takes place from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. ■■■ Smarties takes a break after Sunday to get organized for the fall. “Join us again then for a season filled with exciting instructors and subjects,” said gallery director Judith Jurica. “At Gallery Vertigo we continue to provide affordable and exciting art-making activities that the entire family will enjoy.
“We call it Smarties because it’s a fact, art makes you smart.” No registration necessary, just drop in for some fun. Everyone is welcome — wear old clothes and bring your imagination. Vertigo will supply materials, encouragement and smiles. Suggested donation is $3 per person. Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Teens are welcome, too. “We strongly encourage parents to be part of the fun, and we also welcome grandparents to take part in the fun. Volunteers interested in art are invited to come down and assist at the workshops. No experience necessary. It happens every Sunday from 2 p.m. to 4 pm.” Gallery Vertigo is upstairs in suite one, 3001-31st St. For more information, call 250-503-2297 or see www. galleryvertigo.com
with your family so they know your wishes and don’t have to make a difficult decision if that time comes. “It’s not just kidneys. Skin, bones, eyes — all organ donation can change a person’s life. My boyfriend and I filled out the form together online. It was kind of scary to think about dying and what we would want done with our bodies. But it was a super-proud moment when we did it and we were sorry we didn’t do it sooner.” People of any age — there is no upper age limit — can be organ donors and can specify on the form which organs they want or do not want to donate. “A lot of parents don’t register their children because it is too hard to think about and of course you can only hope nothing will happen to them. But you do have to think about how
you would feel if your child needed a donation. Then you would be grateful that there was an organ available,” said Litster. “And for older adults, they can have organs that can be used because so many people take good care of themselves now.” She knows people who are living improved lives now because of getting transplants and people who have died waiting for a transplant. People of any age can have kidney disease and there are more than 2,800 people in B.C. on dialysis waiting for a transplant. The wait time is up to five years and the wait lists for other organ transplants are also long. The form for permission for organ donation is online at www.kidney.bc.ca. or by calling 1-800-663-6189. “It’s such an amazing gift to give some-
one. About 85 per cent of Canadians say they would like to be organ donors but only 17 per cent of them are actually registered. We want to see that number get a lot bigger. The walk is at a grassroots level and we want to build it,” said Litster. “We urge people to fill out the form. There is a space on the form to say if you do not want to be a donor and that makes your wishes known for sure and takes the pressure off your family. It’s worth it either way.” The Fourth Annual Vernon Kidney Walk to
promote organ donation takes place Aug. 21 at 10 a.m. at the DND army camp field. There is no registration fee or minimum pledge amount to raise and all money will go to the Kidney Foundation of Canada, B.C. Branch, and some will come back to the community for services for kidney disease patients. The event includes a 2.5K walk or 5K fun run. There will be entertainment, a silent auction and a prize draw for all participants. For more information contact Litster at 250-5589491 or amy_litster@ hotmail.com.

Battling infections via e-cards JEFF NAGEL Black Press
Dieticians go online Morning Star Staff
Can your diet prevent cancer? Want your kids to have more vegetables? Are seeds safe to eat if you have diverticulosis? Answers from dietitians are now just an email away. British Columbians are now able to e-mail HealthLink B.C.’s dietitian services any nutrition or food-related concerns they have as part of the province’s commitment to make the healthy option the easy option. Dietitians at HealthLink B.C. provide nutritional information for everyone, regardless of age. This includes advice to help prevent or manage chronic disease. The e-mail service follows the expanded hours of operation for HealthLink B.C.’s dietitian services. Telephone access to registered dietitians through 8-1-1 is available between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Monday to Thursday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays. Ten new registered dietitians have been hired, bringing the staff total at HealthLink B.C. up to 30. The new dietitians will be available to support people in managing their chronic conditions, as well as answering questions on a variety of topics such as baby nutrition, allergies and healthy eating in general. E-mail a dietitian by visiting: https://www. healthlinkbc.ca/dietitian/ead/disclaimer.stm

It’s an Internet greeting card no one really wants to receive. The B.C. Centre for Disease Control is promoting a free online service that helps break the news to former sex partners that you may have given them a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Users of the inSPOT service can send anonymous e-cards via email to up to six partners warning them that they should get tested. Recipients get a link to information on how and where to get testing. The site, www.inspot.org, also offers information on STIs. Dr. Mark Gilbert at the BCCDC said notifications are critical to combatting and preventing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia, gonorrhea and HIV. “Anyone can use inSPOT. It doesn’t require visitors to login or register to use the service,” he said. “It’s free, simple and easy to use.” Users select an e-card with one of several different messages, enter the partner’s email address and can also add a personal message. “Sometimes there are strings attached,” reads one of the e-cards. Another says: “It’s not what you brought to the party, it’s what you left with. I left with an STI. You might have, too.” The service has been implemented in other North American cities after being developed in 2004 in San Francisco. InSPOT stands for Internet Notification Service for Partners or Tricks.

Lost in the static
T
he election of Elizabeth May as Canada’s firstever Green Party MP was supposed to be a breakthrough for environmental issues. Finally embraced by voters in the organic farming region of Saanich-Gulf Islands, May was given a mandate to change the political conversation about sustainable development, climate change and pollution. The breakthrough might even translate to the provincial level, where Jane Sterk is the latest of a line of B.C. Green leaders to toil in obscurity. It’s too bad they both threw away their scientific credibility last week, by chiming in with the tiny tinfoil-hat movement and its trumped-up opposition to BC Hydro’s transition to wireless meters. Tom Fletcher May got the tinfoil ball rolling by decrying the use of wireless internet. It might be contributing to bee colony collapse, she mused on Twitter, to much ridicule. Apparently she believes that using a computer connected by a wire keeps her free from the radio waves that surround us all. They are generated not only by computers, cell phones and smart meters but all sources of light, including the infrared light that accompanies body heat. May then cited the much-hyped revelation that the World Health Organization has listed radiofrequency waves as a possible carcinogen. Radio waves such as those generated by cell phones and wireless routers were moved to a classification called 2B, which also includes such volatile substances as pickled vegetables. What this actually means is that health effects can’t be ruled out. It’s impossible to prove that something’s impossible. But after many years of study, the evidence that cell phones and such devices cause illness remains at precisely zero. With May alongside, Sterk called a news conference last week to demand a halt to BC Hydro’s smart meter program. The first question from a reporter was, why are you reversing the BC Greens’ 2009 election platform, which called for installation of smart meters by 2012, followed by imposition of time-of-use electricity pricing to reduce consumption? Sterk expressed surprise, apparently having forgotten her own position from only two years ago. Political credibility takes years to build but only seconds to destroy. I attended the B.C. Green Party’s 2007 leadership convention at which Sterk was elected. It came after a long and divisive debate over whether cell phones could be used at the meeting. They were finally allowed, but this “issue” apparently took up more time than any policy discussion. Why is BC Hydro putting in smart meters? First, mechanical meters are obsolete and soon won’t be available. Second, B.C. is about twice as big as Germany. Finding, let alone fixing damaged power lines is a monumental task. A smart grid (much more than just digital meters) is not only self-assessing, it can be made self-healing, rerouting power to blacked-out areas when weather, transformer failure or vehicle accidents cut power. Do smart meters continuously communicate with a “mother ship,” as some claim? Do they record when you get up at night to pee? No and
B.C. VIEWS
Taking care of you and your teeth
no. These are the kinds of nonsense claims that surround the smart meter issue. BC Hydro says four to six transmissions from a smart meter to a local hub each day amount to about a minute in total. Radio wave exposure is equivalent to a half-hour cell phone call every 20 years. The British National Cancer Institute just published an extensive study of children with brain tumours and exposure to cell phones. Like previous studies, it found no correlation. Somebody should send a postcard to the Green Party and tell them about it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Actions, not words, are what impress others, so all the talk in the world won’t cut the mustard. Unless you are prepared to back up what you say, you may be viewed as just another blowhard. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Generally, you’re a reasonable person who looks before leaping. If you let your guard down, however, you might throw caution to the wind and gamble on what you shouldn’t. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Important decisions need to be shared and resolved by both you and your mate. Each might see things differently and misinterpret what the other is thinking. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Unless you are a verifiable expert, you should not attempt to interpret and/ or explain instructions on how to do something dangerous. If it misfires, you would be held accountable. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Adopting too indifferent of an attitude about your resources could create severe problems for you down the line, and cause you to wonder why your funds ran out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Common sense and logical thinking will work for you in ways that your rabbit’s foot or four-leaf clover won’t. Be sensible about how far you can go in pushing your luck. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) It’s always important to see things as they are and not as you want them to be. Know the difference

Bridge by Phillip Alder How do you play both strings? Mae West, in the 1936 movie “Klondike Annie,” said, “Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.” Sometimes at the bridge table you have two ways to make a contract but are not sure which one to try. Then, you should pick the mathematically more likely. But always try to improve your chances by finding a way to get home if either one line or the other works. How can you do that in this deal? You are in three no-trump and West leads the spade four to dummy’s king. If your partnership were using New Minor Forcing, North would have rebid two diamonds to ask if you had
three-card heart support. But the same final contract would have been reached. Even in the United States, all roads lead to ... you know where. First, count your top tricks. Here you have seven: three spades, three hearts and one diamond. Your two extra winners can come in one of two ways: the diamond finesse works and hearts are no worse than 4-2, or hearts are 3-3. (There isn’t time to play on clubs.) If you immediately play four rounds of hearts, you will go down when they break 4-2 because you do not have a dummy entry left to reach the last heart. If you duck a heart immediately, that works here, but would not leave partner smiling if
the hearts were 3-3 and West had the diamond king. You should take the diamond finesse at trick two. When it wins, duck a heart (lead a low heart from your hand and play low from the board). But if the diamond finesse had lost, you would have had to rely on a 3-3 heart break.
