One dead and one missing at creek RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Tragedy has struck again along a Cherryville area creek. On Saturday afternoon, a 22-year-old Peachland man died and a 20-year-old Kelowna man went missing after they fell down an embankment and into Monashee Creek, one kilometre northwest of the Gold Panner Campground. “We used to go for several years between incidents and in the last few years, they have come one after the other,” said Leigh Pearson, with Vernon Search and Rescue. In May, a 31-year-old Vernon man went missing in Monashee Creek after he apparently went into the creek to retrieve his dog. “Saturday’s incident is almost within 50 feet of the same place as the May incident,” said
“The only way down is rappelling down the cliff to the creek level.” — Leigh Pearson Pearson. The Central Okanagan residents were staying at the Gold Panner Campground and they were walking along the creek when one of them lost their footing. The other man went to grab for him but they both went about 200 feet down the steep, slippery bank. “Once they started sliding, there was no stopping until they hit the water’s edge,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson.
A third person who was out walking with them but did not fall, was able to locate the Peachland man. “Initially he was still conscious and CPR was performed but he succumbed to his injuries,” said Molendyk. On the weekend, Search and Rescue volunteers scoured 90 per cent of the area for the Kelowna man. “For the areas we haven’t searched, the only way down is rappelling down the cliff to the creek level,” said Pearson. An RCMP helicopter was also used during the search. Crews were back on scene Tuesday. “They rappelled into the canyon to check a couple of deep pools,” said Pearson. As of press time, the Kelowna man had not been located.
Only a Supreme Court judge will hear the second trial of a former Vernon teacher charged with allegedly having a sexual relationship with a former student. Deborah Louise Ashton, 46, whose first trial in February resulted in a hung jury, has applied to have her second trial on the matter held before a Supreme Court judge alone. “I have given my consent and will file the re-election so Ms. Ashton’s c o u n s e l can sign it,” Deborah Ashton said Crown counsel Neil Flanagan before Judge Robert Powers in Vernon Supreme Court Monday. The trial is slated to begin Feb. 6, 2012, and Flanagan expects the matter to last seven days. “That’s subject to the availability of one or two police officers which has not been determined yet, but I am confident that things will begin then,” said Flanagan. Flanagan told the media afterward Monday that there had been no change of venue application put forward. Ashton did not appear in court on Monday, nor did her lawyer, Terry La Liberté, though La Liberté did take part via conference call. “Jury trials normally take longer,” said La Liberté. “We both feel seven days is more than adequate and that will include if the defence (Ashton) is called.” Ashton took the stand in her own defence during her first trial, which lasted two weeks. She had pleaded not guilty to counts of sexual assault, sexual interference of a person under 14 and invitation to sexual touching under 14 in regards to an alleged relationship with a former student at a Vernon elementary school between September 2002 and January 2004. A mistrial was declared after the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict following 13 hours of deliberation held over two days.

News Anchor ready to embrace Armstrong ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Growing up on a pig farm in Peterborough, Ont., Dan O’Toole can tell you everything you need to know about swine. Cows, and milking cows, however, and O’Toole has nothing. The popular TSN Sportscentre anchor, along with his partner, Jay Onrait, will get an opportunity to milk cows, take part in roller derby and meet the townsfolk as they kick off the TSN Kraft Celebration Tour Friday afternoon in downtown Armstrong. O’Toole and Onrait will milk cows at Gerald Luttmerding’s farm Thursday morning, then skate with members of the Raggedy Rollers roller derby squad Thursday afternoon at the Hassen Arena. Those items will be taped and shown during TSN’s live Sportscentre broadcast from downtown Armstrong Friday at 3 p.m. Milking cows doesn’t terrify O’Toole. Roller derby does. “Judging by the old 1980s videos of the roller derby that used to be televised, there were some mean people involved in that,� said O’Toole Monday. “There were always flying elbows, and people landing hard on their tailbones. I’m thinking, ‘How does someone not die in this sport?’ Those are the images I’m stuck with.� At five-foot-8 (and a half), O’Toole has a smaller centre of gravity than the six-footfive Onrait and expects to be more sturdy on his roller skates than his much taller co-hort. “He’s lanky, he looks awkward, I’m not sure if he’s good at any sports,� deadpanned O’Toole. “He says he is but I highly doubt it.� The Sportscentre anchors will also be at Askew’s in Armstrong between 2 and 3 p.m. Thursday to meet people, pose for pictures and sign autographs. It’s things like the meet-and-greets and opportunities to do things like roller skate and milk cows that make the Kraft Celebration Tour, now in its third year, a highlight of the year for O’Toole. “I enjoy the people the most and the scenery,� said O’Toole, married to Corrie and father of two young daughters, Sydney, three and Ruby, six months. “If the people were 1A, the scenery is 1B because we go to places off the beaten path on this Kraft tour. That gets us into places you wouldn’t normally find if you were

TSN Sportscentre hosts Jay Onrait (left) and Dan O’Toole will be broadcasting live from downtown Armstrong Friday at 3 p.m. as the 2011 Kraft Celebration Tour kicks off in the North Okanagan.
“In a sense, we are getting a behind-thecurtain look at all of these towns.� — Dan O’Toole going on vacation. You meet the people that make these towns and communities tick. “In a sense, we are getting a behind-thecurtain look at all of these towns. If you were going with your family, your kids, you’d never do 90 per cent of the things we are given the opportunity to do. “We kinda get a special peek that other people don’t get and that’s what this Kraft tour affords us and we take full advantage. The producers line everything up. If they want us to dress up as Mounties, we do it;
play lacrosse, we do it, take part in roller derby, of course we’re going to take advantage. If they say you’re going to ride a sheep today, we go, ‘Alright let’s do it,� said Onrait. O’Toole and Onrait will be doing the western portion of the Kraft tour, which will also take them to Devon, Alta., Kyle, Sask. (population 400), Estevan, Sask. and MacGregor, Man. Both men are quite familiar with the Okanagan region. O’Toole used to come with his brother for yearly golf trips to the valley, and has played Predator Ridge. Onrait is a native of Athabasca, Alta., but his parents reside in Kelowna. Kraft and TSN will hand over a cheque for $25,000 to the Armstrong Kraft Celebration Tour committee Friday afternoon at around 2:30 p.m. downtown near the TSN stage (set up on Pleasant Valley Boulevard).
The money will be used for upgrades to the Hassen Arena at the Interior Provincial Exhibiiton grounds. Friday’s festivities kick off downtown at 1 p.m. with the live Sportscentre broadcast starting at 3 p.m. precisely. The B.C. Lions’ Felions dance squad will also be on hand.

Pelland awaits sentencing ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A North Okanagan sex offender convicted in Texas on seven child pornography related counts will be sentenced next month. Harvey James Pelland, 76, will be sentenced in Abilene, Texas on Sept. 21. He was found guilty in April of two counts of possessing child pornography and five counts of receiving a visual depiction of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct. Each count of child pornography possession carries a Harvey Pelland maximum statutory sentence of 10 years imprisonment, and each of the other five counts carries a statutory sentence of not less than five years, and not more than 20 years. Pelland has been in custody since his arrest on April 6, 2009 while he was living in the town of Big Spring, near Lubbock, Texas, on a charge of failing
to register as a sex offender. He pleaded guilty to that charge in July ‘09. The U.S. government presented evidence in a trial in April that in March and April of 2009, Pelland possessed images of child pornography and received child porn images from the Internet while living in Big Spring. Pelland was convicted in Vernon Provincial Court in 2007 of possessing child pornography after setting up a video camera in a Lumby area home he shared with a woman and her young daughter in order to film the girl. Upon his release from prison, Pelland was to be placed on three years probation with strict conditions, which included not to attend a public park. Pelland skipped the North Okanagan and went down to the Lower Mainland, where he was arrested in White Rock coming out of a park. In November, 2007, Pelland reported to a probation office in Vernon for the final time. Canada Customs made Vernon RCMP aware that on Nov. 20, 2007, Pelland – who holds dual citizenship – had crossed the border into the U.S.

Three suspects in an alleged Vernon break-and-enter have a date with a judge. Just before 1 a.m. Aug. 12, a concerned citizen called the RCMP to report a break-andenter in progress at Farrer Equipment Rentals on 25th Avenue. Three individuals were subsequently located by police officers. “All have been released and
they will appear in court at a later date,” said Gord Molendyk, Vernon RCMP detachment spokesperson. The three suspects are in their 20s and 30s and they are all from the Salmon Arm and Sorrento area. They are facing charges of break-and-enter and possession of break-and-enter tools.

Collision sends Vernon cyclist to hospital RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A Vernon cyclist continues to recover from injuries after a collision with a vehicle. At about 10:30 p.m. Aug. 12, police report that a male cyclist pulled in front of a northbound GMC Sierra at 27th Street and 37th Avenue. “It appears the cyclist didn’t look either way,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson.
The 27-year-old resident was thrown off the bicycle and then transported to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with head injuries and fractures to the leg. Molendyk does not believe the injuries are lifethreatening. The vehicle sustained significant damage. No charges are being contemplated by the RCMP.

Dean Francks and daughters Kristen (left) and Taylor played a key role in rescuing a woman at Long Lake Beach in Coldstream Aug. 10. rush and I high-tailed it in,” said Francks, a Vernon developer. He yelled at the woman on shore, a woman Francks identified as Lydia Phillips, to get a towel, and asked her if she knew CPR. Phillips said she used to be a lifeguard, so she kind of knew CPR, then did what she could. Taylor Francks called 911 and instructed the ambulance as to where their location was. Kristen Francks took the rest of the kids up to the parking lot to flag down the emergency vehicle and lead the crew to the site. “Lydia revived the woman,” said Francks. “After about five minutes, she vomited a few times. After about 10 minutes, she started to breathe. After about 15 minutes, she opened
her eyes and began to talk, and after 20 minutes, she was asking what happened, and was coherent when the ambulance got there.”
Francks said the woman’s husband saw him dashing through the water with his wife and got to shore as fast as he could.

A Coldstream woman owes her life to a high-stepping developer with adrenaline flowing through his body, and a former lifeguard who remembered valuable CPR lessons. Dean Francks had taken his two daughters, Taylor, nine, and Kristen, six, for a late-afternoon dip at secluded Long Lake Beach on the east side of Kalamalka Lake Aug. 10. As they hit the beach, Francks noticed another woman there with her young kids, and an elderly couple who went into the water for a swim. Their actions made Francks believe this was an activity the seniors had done many times before. The man went swimming one way towards some buoys while the woman, 83, went the other way, and the way she was swimming made Francks suspicious that something wasn’t right. “I was watching her and she looked like she was doing poorly, I thought maybe she was doing some calisthenics or aqua-sizing, or a side stroke,” said Francks. “Her head was bobbing up and down in the water, and it just didn’t look right.” When the woman rolled over face-first on to her stomach, and lay motionless about 30 feet from shore for about 10-to-15 seconds, Francks sprinted into the water. “I put my arm around her and literally tucked her under my arm like a football.

“He was pretty upset and in tears, rubbing her back because we had her on her side to encourage her to puke out water,” said Francks. “Then he was pretty ecstatic, very emotional. He was saying, ‘I don’t want to lose my wife yet.’” The man called Francks at 11 p.m. to say his wife was being kept in Vernon Jubilee Hospital’s intensive care unit overnight, as she had fluid in her lungs, but it appeared she was going to be fine. Francks said that was the last update he got. He called the beach situation “a pretty weird experience, one you don’t want to do ever,” but was glad it worked out. “I was very impressed with the kids and the way they handled it,” he said. “They kept within themselves, did what they had to do, everyone did a job and it ended in a good result.”

New dates for horse racing Morning Star Staff
Horse racing enthusiasts should be aware of some significant changes to this season’s schedule. The dates for Vernon Race Days at Kin Race Track have changed from Aug. 20 and 21 to Aug. 21 and Sept. 11. “The back-to-back dates were never the first choice for the society and we have been applying to change the dates ever since,” said Ed Woolley, Okanagan Equestrian Society president. “The approval was granted recently.” The dates were established as part of an agreement between Interior race tracks and Hastings Park in Vancouver to avoid non-competing schedules.
“While still limited to two days as opposed to the usual three, the number of races per day and the average purse per race has been increased this year,” said Woolley. “As a result, the total number of races is expected to be only one less than last year.” The gates at the 43rd Avenue track open at noon. with parade to the post set for 1:15 p.m. Admission is $3 at the gate. The society is still looking for volunteers to help put on this year’s races. “Anyone interested can contact the society by going to its website at www.vernonhorseracing.com,” said Woolley. About 1,300 people per day attended Vernon Race Days in 2010.

MLA must get involved
V
eteran MLA George Abbott stirred a sleeping giant when he recently stated that he hadn’t heard much from his Shuswap constituents about overcrowding at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Since then, letters to the editor have come in from residents of Armstrong, Enderby and Salmon Arm. And of course there was the recent public rally in Falkland that demanded the two shelled-in floors at VJH be completed for acute care beds and that appropriate staffing levels also be part of the annual budget. It would be easy to dismiss the rally because Richard Rolke only 150 people showed up, but that’s a good chunk of Falkland’s population that took time out of their busy lives to speak their mind on a Wednesday night. “It should be fairly clear that people on this end of his constituency are 100 per cent behind health care workers and our hospital,” Kelli Rose, a rally organizer, said of Abbott. All the people of Falkland are asking is that their elected representative listen and take action. “We need to put pressure on Abbott,” said Rene Talbot, Falkland’s director to the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District. “So far, Mr. Abbott is saying he’s not in support of it (two floors).” And one has to wonder why Abbott hasn’t followed the lead of Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA, who has lobbied the health minister for completion of the floors and even participated in a public rally in Vernon July 1. Now it may purely be speculation on my part, but perhaps Abbott considers VJH to be outside of his mandate because it is physically located in another constituency. But for the people of Armstrong, Enderby, Falkland and Spallumcheen, that is the hospital that serves
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
their direct needs. And for his constituents who live in Sicamous and Salmon Arm, they turn to VJH for more specialized procedures that aren’t necessarily available at Shuswap Lake General Hospital. It should also be pointed out that all residents in his constituency, like those in VernonMonashee, have a financial stake in VJH. Through the North Okanagan-ColumbiaShuswap Regional Hospital District, all property owners contributed 40 per cent of the capital costs for five floors of the patient care tower, and they forked out 100 per cent just to ensure the two-shelled in floors are available for future use. His constituents are tied to the hip at VJH, but Abbott continues to stand on the sidelines. Now this next part is purely speculative but we should remember that George Abbott was B.C.’s health minister for many years. It was during his tenure that the green light was given to the $180 million tower at VJH and for that, all residents should be extremely appreciative. The tower, with its expanded space and state-of-the-art technology, will significantly improve health care in the region. But it was also during Abbott’s time at the helm that overcrowding at VJH continued to grow, forcing patients into the halls and surgeries to be cancelled. Abbott is right when he says the situation is partly a result of a lack of residential care beds in the community for seniors, but the Liberals have been in power since 2001, so why hasn’t there been a more aggressive campaign to deal with the problem? By joining calls for the two floors at VJH, is Abbott concerned he will have to acknowledge the shortcomings within his ministry at the time? In the end, the past is the past, and Abbott’s constituents are demanding action now. If Abbott is truly interested in representing their interests, he will become a vocal advocate for meeting VJH’s full potential. Perhaps we will even see him at the rally set for the hospital Labour Day.
All of the hard work will pay off Friday in ArmstrongSpallumcheen. The Kraft Celebration Tour rolls into town for a live TSN broadcast and a $25,000 cheque will be handed over for muchneeded upgrades to the aging but always busy Hassen Arena. The festivities are a direct result of the passion demonstrated not only by the residents of Armstrong and Spallumcheen, but people from throughout the North Okanagan. They went to their computers and voted to ensure the community’s hopes were kept alive through various rounds. And when Armstrong was declared the victor, the hard work got underway. Led by city Coun. Ryan Nitchie and the Armstrong-Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce, volunteers have rolled up their sleeves to ensure TSN and the folks from Kraft are welcomed in style. Festivities begin at 1 p.m. downtown, with the $25,000 cheque being turned over at 2:30 p.m. and then TSN taking to the airwaves at 3 p.m. And while the money for Hassen Arena is important, it’s the live TV broadcast that will have an impact. Viewers across the country will get a first-hand look at Armstrong and its vibrant lifestyle, from roller derby to life on a dairy farm. But most importantly, Canadians will be introduced to the people of Armstrong and Spallumcheen and the pride they have for their community. It’s hoped that from this broadcast, Canadians will be motivated to visit the North Okanagan and we will all benefit from the economic spin-offs. But what ever happens in the future will happen. Now, in the present, is a time to celebrate. We would encourage everyone in the North Okanagan to head to Armstrong Friday and participate in the festivities. After all, it was people power that brought the party here.

Fuming over Duteau
A
s a Kalamalka Lake water customer for more than 50 years, I find it deplorable that I was forced onto Duteau Creek water. In my opinion, this plant is the most ill-conceived and opulent spending of taxpayers' money, as it is turning out to be nothing more than a white elephant. We have invested $29 million in this plant, $6 to $8 million for operating costs, and now Interior Health wants us to spend another $20 million to upgrade to their standards. In my opinion, the biggest mistake that was made was that there were no twin water lines, one for residential and one for irrigation purposes. Who in their right mind would spend million of dollars to treat water to Interior Health standards and then pump it on to the land as irrigation water? It's probably the most expensive water in Canada. The high water rates we pay for this plant run by Greater Vernon Water REPAIR CLOCK Please don't treat the old post office clock as a piece of Vernon's throw-away history. If roundbouts can be affordable, why not some history? Vernon, it is time to show a little respect for your past and teach the children the same. Norma Canuel MANIFEST DESTINY A casual observation on the Manifest Destiny agenda of Mr. Lippert. The territory of "Greater" Vernon extends from slightly south of Malakwa to just this side of Edgewood already. The "Keefer Lake Ranch — Vernon B. C. — and the Monte Creek Speedway — Vernon B. C. — are just two of the wonders that fall under its spell." What he really should do is change the name of Vernon to Lilliput, and then he would be known as Lippert from Lilliput. Ken Douglas MLA MUST ACT Lengthy delays and cancellation of scheduled surgeries have become a nightmare at Vernon Jubilee Hospital.
and we, the taxpayers, are paying the top brass well in excess of $100,000 yearly salaries. In return, we are receiving continual water advisories. Weren't residents left with the impression the need for these advisories would virtually disappear if this plant was built? Seventy-five per cent of all water use is for agricultural and commercial use, 25 per cent for residential use. We put water restrictions on the 25 per cent usage, charge an arm and a leg, are told to boil our water for most of the summer and then they try to brain wash us that there is a shortage of water. If that were true, wouldn't there be a moratorium on house construction? How can you pat yourself on the back and give yourself a raise for doing such an outstanding job? You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time. John Hegler
My husband has been waiting for 56 weeks to have knee replacement surgery in Vernon. We have been advised that there will be no new surgeries scheduled until after Thanksgiving. If he is forced to wait until mid-October, my husband will have been on a wait list for 69 weeks. According to the Ministry of Health website, the average wait time for knee replacement surgery in B.C. is 34 weeks. As you can see, the wait in Vernon is beyond acceptable. A major contributing factor to the surgical delays is cancellation of scheduled surgeries due to lack of beds. Mr. Abbott, the lack of sufficient beds at VJH directly affects the most vulnerable of your constituents. One of the greatest measures of society is how we look after our sick, aging and dying. Please support our need for timely surgeries by ensuring that VJH has the staff and equipment required to serve your constituents. Lin Maxwell FREE COUNTRY Regarding the story "Consultant for rural area annexations."
This story comes off like Mr. Macnabb and Mr. Fairbairn are the great protectors of the regional district they represent. The way I understand it, annexation is a process where a land owner, by his or her own choosing, can make application to have their property included in a different jurisdiction. For example, if a person's property is in an electoral area, that person has the freedom to apply to have it transferred (annexed) to a nearby municipality. Annexation is not to be confused with the word expropriation, where a government of any level can remove you from any part or all of your land for whatever they deem fair market value for whatever purpose they deem necessary. What I believe these gentlemen want to do by initiating this consultation is to remove a person's right to decide what they can or can't do with their own land. Does that sound like something that should be allowed in a free country like Canada? I don't believe it does, and I hope there are more people who hold the same opinion, especially in the upcoming municipal
and regional district elections. We need to tell these politicians what the term free country stands for. I live in the Regional District of the North Okanagan and I am not in support of any politician, for whatever reason, to limit my ability to choose what I can do with my own property. We are currently way over governed in this respect and should be moving in the other direction, not adding more restrictive laws. Just an aside, it's amazing how $25,000 can show up for a consultant to possibly advise the board to take away our rights, but when a heritage site like O'Keefe Ranch needs funding, RDNO basically sits on its hands and waits for for the City of Vernon to pay its share for it. This is all such nonsense that costs us taxpayers nothing but money and the erosion of our rights, and I am tired of it. Dare I say amalgamation? Yes. Yes. Yes. Brian Litzenberger THANK YOU I would like to thank the Henry family from Prince George for stopping and assisting us during the recent storm.

Cadets welcome public to final parade RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A summer of hard work and commitment will end in a poignant march by cadets. The final parade and Sunset Ceremony takes place at the Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre Thursday. “People are encouraged to come out and watch the parade,” said Petty Officer Mark Farrell, with the military police at the camp. “The Sunset parade
for Vernon is the closing out of summer.” The event, which takes place at the Dieppe parade square, is an opportunity to pay tribute to Canada’s veterans and war dead. “The cadets respect the citizens of Vernon and it’s also an honour for the city too,” said Farrell. The event begins at 6 p.m. with a demonstration of precision rifle drill and music. The cadets will
march on to the parade square at 6:35 p.m. and the reviewing officer will arrive at 7 p.m. There is parking in the lot to the west of Highway 97 and residents can walk through the tunnel to the reception centre before enter-
ing the main camp. No parking will be permitted along Highway 97. Motorists driving past the camp at the time of the parade are asked to show some decorum. “If people get a
thrill out of honking their horn or making lewd comments, I hope they would recognize it as a military parade,” said Gord Molendyk, Vernon RCMP detachment spokesperson. Cadets on parade Thursday will have
finished either three or six-week courses, including basic leadership, basic fitness and sports, basic expedition, basic marksman, music, drill and ceremonial, expedition and air Rifle marksmanship. Cadets enrolled
in the final intake of the two-week general training course will have their final parade at Sicily Square at 8:30 a.m. Friday. There have been 1,100 cadets from across Canada go through the camp this summer.

Shootings stun Kelowna KATHY MICHAELS Black Press
Notorious B.C. gangster Jonathan Bacon, 30, was killed in a brazen weekend shooting outside the Kelowna Delta Grand Hotel, police confirmed during a Monday press conference that offered more questions than answers. “(Bacon) was one of five persons in a white SUV. Three others suffered non-life threatening injuries and are expected to recover,” said Const. Steve Holmes. “Two are female and one, associated with the vehicle, fled and has yet to be apprehended.” Among those who had non-life threatening injuries is fullpatch Hells Angel Larry Amero. It’s believed the man who fled the vehicle was a member of the Independent Soldiers, although Holmes refused an opportunity to confirm that fact. Supt. Pat Fogarty of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit said the three men in that white Porsche Cayenne were well known to police, although he didn’t say whether Bacon was the intended target, or offer any clues as to why they were together. Although the public and media often want to categorize criminals into their gang affiliations, said Fogarty, it’s not always that simple. Gangsters in B.C. are more fluid and their loyalties less certain than they might be elsewhere. That’s why Bacon – known as a high-profile Red Scorpion – would have been associating with a Hells Angel, Fogarty said.

A gang shooting victim is attended to by ambulance paramedics Sunday afternoon outside the entrance to the Delta Grand Hotel in Kelowna. “When you’re sitting in a car with someone, you’re more friend than foe.” As details of the relationship between the men become more scrutinized Kelowna police, who are being assisted by gang units from other points around the province, are working to put together the evidence chain left behind and little is known yet. Holmes pointed out they don’t know whether the burned out SUV found on Commonage Road was the vehicle that the gunman drove away from the shooting. “We also don’t know the type or description of the firearms used,” he said, adding that no arrests have been made. Although police are loath to release details, the attack was in broad daylight at a heavily populated tourist destination. Many witnesses have said a balaclava clad man got out of a vehicle behind the Baconoccupied Porsche
Cayenne carrying an automatic weapon, similar to an M-16. Dozens of shots pierced the side of the truck, which rolled onto a grassy patch outside the hotel, sparking pandemonium. “From where I was standing it was echoing and loud, very loud,” said a woman who asked not to be named. “As I started walking again, right behind the lobby exit, about 40 people started running in my direction looking behind them and yelling to ‘run’ and ‘people are shooting.’ People were grabbing their kids and yelling, ‘Go, go keep running.’ “ No others were injured in the shooting, although one stray bullet broke through the Kelowna Art Gallery’s window across the street. While the violent outburst has prompted numerous questions, Supt. Bill McKinnon said that the incident answers whether funding for a 16-mem-
ber gang task force in Kelowna should be continued. “They’re a valuable asset to us, and it’s pretty obvious that we have gang issues here in Kelowna,” he said. “Our efforts to suppress gang violence remain the top priority. We will not tolerate gang violence, disputes or turf wars within our community.” That said, he couldn’t speak to whether the task force was aware of the fact that Bacon — a member of the Red Scorpion gang, who was out on bail — was known to be in the area and associating with other gangsters. This is also the third gang-related crime in Kelowna over the last 12 months. There was a drive-by shooting (associated with the Hells Angels) on Leon Avenue last September, and earlier this summer two full patch Hells Angels were charged with second degree murder in the death of Rutland father Dain Phillips.

District approves septic upgrades Morning Star Staff
A septic facility in Lake Country is getting a financial boost. The Regional District of Central Okanagan board has authorized the use of regionally significant Project funds for upgrades to the septic treatment facility located in the District of Lake Country. “The plant receives and treats materials pumped from septic tanks across the Central Okanagan,” said Bruce Smith, RDCO communications co-ordinator. “The plant upgrade will provide redundancies that are not currently available and will
address other operation and occupational health issues.”

There was a lot of muscle power on the weekend. The Vernon Safeway stores participated in Muscular Dystrophy Canada’s Safeway Make Muscles Move event Saturday. The event was a focal point of the month-long fundraiser for Muscular Dystrophy at Safeway. Safeway has been a sponsor of Make Muscles Move every August for four years now with fundraising totals over $100,000 per year in the B.C. region. Funds raised by Safeway during this campaign are used to supply clients of MDC with mobility grants, wheelchairs, lifting devices, and ventilators. To date, the Safeway mobility grants have provided Canadian families with more than 200 pieces of equipment valued at over $400,000. Saturday’s event at the Vernon Square Safeway included a flea market of donated goods. The Vernon Lions Club provided its chuckwagon for a concession and members of the Vernon Fire Department were there to help promote the event. The firefighters fighters have been supporters of MDC since 1956. Quick facts about neuromuscular disorders: There are many forms of neuromuscular disorders but most types are considered hereditary and progressive. More than 50,000 Canadians are affected by neuromuscular disorders. There are more than 150 disorders covered under the organizational umbrella of Muscular Dystrophy Canada.

‘Scotty’ beams at surprise honour Powerhouse Theatre’s Sarah McLean receives prestigious award KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
For 47 years, Sarah McLean, affectionately known as “Scotty”, has stepped up to the local stage wielding everything from a script to a hammer. McLean has devoted more than just time, she has made Vernon’s Powerhouse Theatre her second home –– and has served in so many capacities at the theatre, it is impossible to list them all. That was no more apparent than when McLean found herself on that stage once again as the spotlight turned on her when she was presented with the Eric Hamber Award. Given to a person, group or institution who has made an outstanding contribution to community theatre in B.C., the award was announced at the Mainstage Festival held in Kamloops in July. Voted by members of the theatre community, McLean was honoured by many of them, including former Hamber recipient and fellow lifetime Powerhouse member Mary Huggins, who came up from the coast to honour her friend, with a special presentation Saturday at the Powerhouse. “I was surprised to say the least to receive the Hamber trophy,” McLean told The Morning Star after she was lured to the theatre and surprised with the honour, which also included a visit by Theatre B.C.’s president Glen Miller. “Being awarded the Hamber trophy is great, but what really counts are the people in our theatre community –– the ones I admire and value the most, who thought enough of me and my contribution to theatre that they would nominate me in the first place. For that I feel honoured and will be forever truly thankful.” To say that “Scotty” has a passion for the local theatre is an understatement. Encouraged to join the Powerhouse in 1964 by the late playwright/director Paddy Malcolm English, McLean’s first play saw her starring as one of the children in Jack and the Beanstalk. Her “father” was played by none other than fellow lifetime Powerhouse member Doug Huggins. “I remember going to that first meeting and wondering if I’d really fit in,” said McLean. “I had heard that Powerhouse was

Sarah “Scotty” McLean, above right, is surprised by longtime Powerhouse Theatre member and former Eric Hamber award recipient Mary Huggins, and Theatre B.C. president Glen Miller, for her contribution to community theatre at Powerhouse Saturday. Below, McLean points out all the people in the crowd that kept the award presentation a secret from her.
a cliquey bunch, but Rosalie Gower took me under her wing that night and made me feel welcome. Later on I was mesmerized by the kind of sets that Doug Huggins created and started learning and working with Doug on many of them.” McLean has been involved in more than 100 Powerhouse productions, in one way or another, ever since. She has won acting, directing and set
design awards at both the Okanagan Zone (O-Zone) Drama Festival and the Theatre B.C. Mainstage drama festival, which sees zone winners from all over the province present their respective productions. In 1975, McLean won best supporting actress at Mainstage for her role in The Cell, and best actress in 1986 for her role as Fries in Talking With. She took the O-Zone and Mainstage awards for best actress in 1994 playing Lettice in Lettice and Lovage. In 1988, McLean directed Joanna McClelland Glass’ Play Memory, which won best production and best director at the Mainstage festival that year. The play was also entered and won the national drama festival and went on to represent Canada at the International Amateur Drama Festival in Monaco. That same year, McLean was honoured with the MVP Award from the City of Vernon and was also given a lifetime membership to Powerhouse. “Over the following years I have learned
so much from so many; Dave Brotsky in particular who has been a gift to our theatre, the school district, and the whole community since he came to Vernon over 33 years ago,” said McLean. And her devotion to the theatre she calls home continues. As the O-Zone representative, who has served as Powerhouse’s artistic director, she is currently serving her third year as the theatre’s board president, a position she held from 1975 to ‘77 and again in 1988. She also sits on the artistic committee, which chooses the presenting season. (Those curious can visit powerhousetheatre.net to see what plays Powerhouse has in store for this coming year.) Even as she is honoured, McLean is always looking for new members to join the team. “If anyone reading this thinks that you’ve always thought about joining one of the best community theatres in the province, come down to Powerhouse, I’ll make sure you feel welcome.”

However, the most moving poem of the evening was one he recited around the campfire after supper when he and Dinwoodie were joined by Zalit and his brother, Mark, on harmonica, singing old favourites, telling stories, gazing at the moon and slapping at mosquitoes. It was The Cowboy’s Prayer. All the men followed Mather’s lead and removed their hats as quietude descended on the campfire circle of visitors from several provinces throughout Canada as well as parts of Europe. They sat “purt near poker still” until Mather’s final “amen” was “spoke.” Then everyone sang Home on the Range as a lone cowboy rode his “hoss” over the hill in the moonlight. It was a perfect ending to the family fun, education and entertainment. Rob Dinwoodie and his friends return for O’Keefe Ranch’s final Cowboy Dinner this summer Aug. 26.

Manfred Harter plays the sitar in downtown Vernon as part of the Street Sounds program, which continues through August.
Catch the beat in the street Morning Star Staff
The streets are now alive with the sounds of music thanks to a new program initiated by the Downtown Vernon Association. A myriad of different local musicians can now be seen and heard performing in Vernon’s downtown core every Tuesday to Friday for Street Sounds, which runs through August. “Live performances in front of various merchants in the area provide a great lunchtime atmosphere for everyone shopping working, and dining, and just walking by to hear some unique local sounds,” said Holly Schmidt, DVA events and marketing manager. The musicians play many different styles and instruments, and single performers as well as performers with a guest, including many from other popular downtown events, are on the schedule, added
Schmidt. “Familiar names like Steve Stairs, Manfred Harter and Tanya Lipscomb have performed, and many more will be there to play for the public,” she said. Those roaming around downtown Vernon today can catch Rory White, known for his popular open mics held at the former Portillo’s/Blenz coffee house downtown and at Armstrong’s Junction Café, on the 3000-block of 30th Avenue. Vernon singer/songwriter Sherrie Erickson plays on the 3100block Thursday, while
Lawrence Bourgeois, aka Pingo, known for his Clown ‘n’ Country show, performs Friday on the 2900-block. Our Kids Have Talent contestant Abby Gregori plays on the 3400-block next Tuesday, followed by Parks & Hustler at the Fruit Union Plaza Aug. 24, Dave Anthony on 3100-block Aug. 25 and Manfred Harter and guest on the 3200-block Aug. 26.

Student looks to the stars Black Press
Steve Mairs will boldly go where few undergrads have gone before. The third-year physics and astronomy student at UBC’s Okanagan campus leaves for Hawaii early next month for two weeks study at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope in Mauna Kea, Hawaii. Mairs’ research at the renowned telescope supports his honours thesis of how giant molecular clouds collapse to form stars. “We’re fairly sure we know the life cycle of a star — how it lives and breathes,” said Mairs, 20. “But there are a lot of questions about the time between, such as when a star dies and when a new star will form.” He credits his professor, Erik Roslowsky of the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences, with motivating him to pursue his interest. “He propelled my interest infinitely in the subject. I think this is really a beautiful science.” Plus, the intimacy of the classroom experience on the UBC Okanagan campus has added a dimension to his education that he would not get elsewhere, Mairs said. “This is a really good school with an amazing faculty.” Roslowsky and Mairs developed a research collaboration with colleagues in France, who are pro-

viding additional data. Roslowsky says it is “very rare” opportunity for an undergrad student to be able to utilize as important a research tool as the Mauna Kea telescope. “Steve is the top astrophysics student I have worked with here at UBC’s Okanagan campus, and he is as strong as the students I’ve worked with at Harvard and Berkeley,” said Roslowsky. “He has a broad research background and I think he could develop into a stellar astronomer.” Roslowsky says the study of astronomy provides insight into our cosmic origins and how life could arise elsewhere in the universe. “Steve’s thesis directly connects to this aspect of astronomy, namely understanding how the stars and stellar system that host life like ours form out of gas clouds in the universe.”

Lumby seniors benefit
A
s most readers will know, I have been tirelessly working with the Ministry of Health on the expansion at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. While I’m still working with Minister Michael de Jong on this, it’s nice to have the opportunity to deliver some other good news in the meantime. From now on, Lumby seniors who can no longer live on their own won’t have to look out of town to find new accommodation. Recently, Interior Health signed a contract with inSite Housing, Hospitality and Health Services to run a 46-unit residential care cenEric Foster tre. It will be adjacent to the health centre – and near both Monashee Place and Saddle Mountain Place – making for an extremely convenient location. These 46 beds are part of 527 announced by Interior Health in December 2010 – necessary additions as British Columbia’s population continues to age. While this is by no means a solution, in the near term, this new facility will ease some of the pressure on Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Obviously there’s much more to be done – and will be done – but even the longest journey must begin with a first step. I was careful not to influence the bidding process in any way, but as a former mayor of Lumby, I have been keenly aware of the need for a facility like this. It’s a need that has grown with Lumby and the wider region, both in size and age. It’s extremely gratifying to see all the hard work that went into this start to come to fruition. We anticipate work will begin by November, and take about a year – meaning Christmas 2012
MLA REPORT
might be extra special for quite a few Lumby families, as their parents and grandparents will no longer have to find care and accommodation elsewhere. This project and the facility it will create in Lumby is exactly the kind of thing Premier Christy Clark had in mind with her families first philosophy. Allowing seniors who need extra care to remain in Lumby, near their loved ones, keeps families together. I can’t think of any better way to put families first.

Q: A:
Which is better -word memorization or phonics?
The schools of thought are far apart on this one. From time to time, the current educational philosophy leans toward one, and then back to the other. The reason? It seems that neither method works well for everyone, especially for those who struggle to learn to read. Many teachers combine the two. Right now, schools are swinging away from phonics and back to memorization. The Potentials reading method is called ‘Action Phonics’. Instead of learning each letter as a sound, the student learns it as a mouth position. Then, instead of trying to connect individual letter sounds, he just connects one mouth position to the next one, actually saying the word slowly as he decodes it. No more guessing. He also learns common vowel patterns from 56 different vowel cards, which help him decode words as well. Easy. Fast. Successful.

Q: A:
Am I paying too much for my variable rate mortgage (VRM) or my secured line of credit (LOC)?
Not all VRMs or LOCs are the same, so there are a couple of things that you need to determine whether you are taking full advantage of today’s great rates in the marketplace. This information can be found on your annual/monthly mortgage statement. •If your VRM rate is prime minus 0.4% or higher, you are paying too much. •If your lender’s “prime” rate does not reflect the Bank of Canada prime rate; currently 3%, you are paying too much. •If your secured LOC is prime plus 1% and you are carrying a healthy balance, you are paying too much. •If you carry a larger balance with this disparity in rates for roughly another 6 months, you are paying too much. The good news is it’s easy to fix if with an early refinance. My livelihood is based on good service & saving you money. Call me anytime! Cell: 250.550.6611 cmmoney@telus.net www.carlm.ca

What are some simple things I can do to improve my digestion?
Abdominal bloating, gas, heartburn and constipation are common digestive complaints, and indicative of a poor diet and poor eating habits. Here are a few tips to help you feel better. 1.) Start your day with a cup of hot water and the juice of half a lemon - This is a simple way to get the liver and gall bladder flushing. 2.) Avoid too many fluids with meals - Drinking too many fluids with meals dilutes the digestive juices in the stomach, and can contribute to bloating after eating. 3.) Sit down, slow down and chew! - Though it sounds simple, one of the most important things you can do for digestion is to chew your food well. Remember what your Mom told you – 21 times before swallowing! Your food should be mush before it gets to the stomach. 4.) Eat your fibre - Make sure half of your plate at each meal is vegetables 5.) Digestive Bitters - Use a few drops of digestive bitters before meals to avoid reflux and bloating after meals.

Q: A:
Can I afford Feng Shui?
Yes! Feng shui is all about achieving balance and harmony: it’s not about what you’ve got, it’s how you use what you’ve got that counts. Sound familiar? Feng shui doesn’t need hardwood floors, granite counters or a 42” flat screen TV. It needs an open mind and a desire for change. If you read a recent blog on chisolutions.ca, titled “It’s not about the money” you’ll understand. As a feng shui practitioner I am highly trained to help people improve their lives. The recommendations I propose and my fee are but a small price to pay for your health, wealth and happiness. Work with me, and you’ll see it’s not about the money, it never was…

Q: A:
2009 Busines/Professional s of the Year Award!
Now that home inspectors have to be licensed, as a consumer what can I expect, and how do I know the guy is legitimate?
As of March 31, 2009 all home inspectors in the province must be licensed. It is not good enough for them to say they have a certificate from ABC home inspectors training, that won’t cut it. Home inspectors must be licensed with The Business Practices and Consumer Protection Authority of British Columbia. Home inspectors must publish their license number in all of their advertising, all of their contracts and reports. You have a right to ask to see their license; doing home inspections without a license carries a five thousand dollar fine. Licenses must be renewed each year. I think licensing is a good thing as it protects you the consumer as well as leveling the playing field for us as home inspectors.

Q: A:
What can I do about embarrassing razor bumps?
Lose the razor and get laser! Laser hair removal is quickly becoming the most popular method for hair removal for both men and women. It is an affordable and effective way to remove unwanted hair. But beware…. there are many factors that will determine the success of your outcome. Price alone shouldn’t be your only factor when considering laser hair removal. The type of laser used for your skin type and how the treatment is performed will determine how complete the depilation will be, how many total treatments you will need, and ultimately, your overall cost. Technicians with accredited training and experience will be able to give you the most effective treatment while keeping your safety in mind. Lasers work by emitting a beam of light which passes through the skin and is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle, damaging the follicle and removing the hair. The need to shave is reduced even after the 1st treatment so razor bumps, ingrown hairs and rashes are no longer a problem! Come in and talk to us and learn why we are your best choice for safe, successful laser hair removal.

Q: A:
Do you have any tips for golfing in this hot weather?
Here are some tips for playing in the heat When temperatures rise it is also extremely important to stay hydrated. Golfers can easily lose a couple of pounds in an hour, so drink lots of fluids. Wear light colour clothing, use sun screen & wear a hat and sunglasses. A cold towel or cloth for draping around the back of your neck is also a good idea. And try to get out on the course as early as possible, before the sun reaches its peak! • Change your gloves periodically when they get too wet - it will help you maintain a firm grip on your club. • Carry extra towels and towel dry your grips Golfing in the Heat • According to Golf Journal (2002) when a golf ball is hit by a mechanical golfer it travels 15 yards further in 100°F temperatures than it does at 70°F temperatures.

The Regional District of Central Okanagan is looking inwards. The board has approved reallocating $25,000 from the 2011 regional rescue program budget to conduct a complete review of the program. The board has already approved a $25,000 budget for the review which will determine the best way of administering, funding and delivering the highest quality of rescue services in the interest of public safety. RDCO has also agreed to send a letter to the minister of community development registering the creation of a municipal auditor general. The Board says local governments are already required to have audited financial statements and it doesn’t see the need for Victoria to establish such a function.

Byram golden boy at WC Games Morning Star Staff
Nine gold medals, captain of the boys swim team, a couple of club records and the honour of being a flag bearer for champion Team B.C. at the 2011 Western Canada Summer Games in Kamloops. It was an amazing few days for 17-yearold Vernon Kokanee Joe Byram, who helped B.C. record the most impressive medal haul in recent history. The 345 B.C. athletes walked off the fields, courts, pools, course, mountains, lakes and mats with 130 gold, 68 silver and 63 bronze medals, an increase of 32 per cent. Byram and Kierra Smith of Kelowna won an astounding 16 medals between them in the pool and for that, Team B.C. named both of them joint flag bearers for Sunday’s Closing Ceremony. Bryam, who could not be reached by The Morning Star, finished off a great sum-
mer of racing by winning three more gold Saturday night. He won gold in the 4x50 free relay with a split of 23.47; he also won gold in the 200 free going 1:51.40 in his evening swim (he went 1:51.00 in the morning – a club record) – and he finished off the night by leading Medal man Joe Byram the 4x100 medley relay to a victory. The 261 medal count betters the mark of 197 won at the 2007 Games in Alberta. Team B.C., whose athletes ranged in age from 12 to 42, has now won the Western Canada Summer Games Cup for the 10th
time since the Games’ inception in 1975. Their swimmers won an incredible 73 medals with 40 gold, 17 silver and 16 bronze. Athletics followed with 42 (18 gold, 15 silver and nine bronze) and canoe/kayak pocketed 33 medals. “The talent pool of athletes in this province is deep,” said Team B.C. Chef de Mission Irene Schell of Victoria. “I look forward to following these athletes as they continue their journey to the top of national and international podiums.” Wheelchair athletics athlete Tristan Smyth of Maple Ridge won three gold medals (200m, 400m and 1500m) after being injured in January, 2011, and competing in his first multi-sport Games. Byram, who graduated a year early from the Vernon Secondary High Performance Program, said a few weeks ago his development has been steady in the last year, espe-
cially in backstroke events. “We had a really good training year. Marc (Tremblay, outgoing Kokanee head coach) and I really made some progress. Technically, we found a pretty efficient and effective backstroke that’ll carry me through Olympic trials (for 2012 London Summer Games) next April. “This year is more of a training year, next year is the racing year,” added the lanky sixfooter. Meanwhile, Vernon’s Sarah Mehain finished off the Pan Pacific Para-Swimming Championships in Edmonton with a bronze medal in the 100 breast. Her time was 1:53.90. Mehain also finished fifth in the 200 IM in 3:21.53 and she also finished 4th in the 100 back in 1:35.85. The 16-year-old earlier pocketed a bronze in the 50 butterfly. Canada finished third with 62 medals.

Young Guns scorch NOU Co-Ed classic Morning Star Staff
Coquitlam’s Young Guns have created a dynasty in the the annual North Okanagan United Co-Ed Soccer Tournament. The Young Guns brushed off Vernon’s Here For The Beer 3-2 in Sunday’s Competitive Division final at Marshall Field, earning their fourth straight title and $400 in prize money. A total of 22 teams competed in the event which is a fundraiser for NOU’s trip to the 2013 World Masters Games in Turin, Italy. An adult day care beverage garden and concession, all run by NOU, were highly successful, according to tourney director Shelly Johnston. Vernon entries Taboo United and Sporting Good Looks finished third and fourth respectively. The Recreational Division 1 crown went to the Kelowna Celtics, who won 9-2 over the B.C. Randoms, toppled the Abbotsford Eagles 4-1 and ambushed the CFFC Fusion of Calgary 5-2. The Fusion settled for second spot, while the Retro Slurpees from Delta were third. In the Recreational Division 2, it was the Slappers of Port Coquitlam shutting down the Aldergrove Highliters 4-0, stuffing the Abby Ringers 6-0, crushing Kick & Run 7-2 and shading the Crusty Jugglers of Kelowna 3-2. The Crusty Jugglers ended up sec-
ond, while Jugs & Thugs from Prince George were third. “Vernon’s Big O Tire Brudahs ‘n Da Sistas also had a team in,” said Johnston. “With their ages being twice to three times than the teams they played against, they all left the tourney with a smile, an icepack and Ibuprofen. “It was great to see so many Vernon teams in the tourney and other Vernon players helping out playing for visiting teams. The visiting teams were very gracious and very thankful for everything. “They know us (NOU players) by name and know that they can ask us anything and we can help them out or at least point them in the right direction. “They helped us set up tents, take them down, pick up recycling and kept the fields free of debris. “It’s great to have such a wonderful team of ladies that can run a tourney top to bottom and still find some time to play a game or two. I am proud to be part of that. Thanks to the refs and ref assistants and all the people that make these events possible.”

The federal government has confirmed the appointment of former B.C. premier Gordon Campbell as Canada’s high commissioner to the U.K. A list of appointments by Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada includes Campbell’s new job as part of a major update of foreign diplomatic posts. Also named are new ambassadors and consulsgeneral for the United Nations, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Afghanistan, Brazil, Qatar, Cameroon, Burkina Faso and Campbell Serbia. Canada’s top diplomatic job is ambassador to Washington D.C., and in 2009 Prime Minister Stephen Harper appointed former Manitoba premier Gary Doer to that post. Campbell’s appointment was leaked to Ottawa reporters in late June, but the federal government waited until it received formal acceptance from the U.K. government before confirming it. Meeting with federal officials in June, Premier Christy Clark said Campbell would be a good choice to help Harper’s government negotiate a free trade agreement with the European Union. Campbell will also be in London for the 2012 Summer Olympics. Clark issued a statement Monday congratulating Campbell and his wife Nancy for the appointment, and thanking him for 26 years in city and provincial politics.

Volunteer citizens go on patrol CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Lyle Duffield was one of the original members of Citizens on Patrol when it started in Vernon 19 years ago. He sees the service as so valuable to the community that he has stayed with it. “The volunteers are extra eyes and ears for the police. We are trained but we do not do police work. We report what we see to the police to deal with,” said Duffield, the owner of Hi Fi Attic. “At the time Citizens on Patrol was formed, I owned Kelly’s Electronics on main street and there was a lot of really bad vandalism. Saturday mornings you would see windows smashed and trash all over. A bunch of us business owners complained to the police but they told us they couldn’t be everywhere and they needed help too. “We decided to be part of the solution and formed Citizens on Patrol. We used to go out, in our own vehicles, evenings to keep an eye on what was happening. Things changed because no one knew who was watching them.” The program has evolved and is now a City of Vernon program with cars supplied, overseen by the RCMP watch commander. The trained volunteers drive around the city in pairs, looking for anything unusual, watching for car or building break-ins, sometimes checking locks. They also conduct speed watch checks with equipment that lets people know if they are speed— Lyle ing and leave reminders to car owners to keep valuables out of sight. The volunteers also provide extra police security at community events and are available to help in emergencies if the police need extra assistance. When the Citizens on Patrol report an incident, the police respond where their presence is required. At the start, volunteers were mostly business owners, but now Citizens on Patrol includes people from all backgrounds. “I volunteer because I want Vernon to be a great place for my family and friends and other businesses. I want my grandchild to grow up to be safe. I want to be able, when I’m 80 years old, to walk downtown to a park without being mugged,” said Duffield. “This is not only the right thing to do

It is such a good way to give back to the community. You meet an excellent group of people. It’s a great organization and well managed. Duffield People like to see us out on the street,” she said. ■■■ Citizens on Patrol is about area residents giving their time to help reduce criminal activity by being extra eyes and ears for the RCMP. There are currently 50 volunteers in three programs and there is always a need for more volunteers. “The Citizens on Patrol develop a sixth sense about vehicles, people and circumstances. They slow and look carefully and see what’s happening and they know who to call,” said Borisenko. The program, run by the City of Vernon and North Okanagan RCMP detachment, helps with crime-related activities and is also there for other citizens who need help. Last year, the volunteers were able

to help someone who had fallen in the snow in an isolated area on a cold day and might not have been noticed otherwise. The crime prevention statistics are impressive. In the first six months of 2011, they checked 13,869 B.C. licence plates against ICBC stolen car reports and were able assist in recovering 14 stolen vehicles locally. In the same time period, Citizens on Patrol put in 1,606 hours patrolling on 296 shifts, plus time spent at special events. “These are exceptional volunteers and they are very qualified for what they do. It’s a very rewarding volunteer position and the volunteers keep learning though quarterly training meetings,” said Borisenko, who has a law enforcement background and sometimes goes on shifts with the volunteers. The volunteers go through a criminal record check, an enhanced security check, and have an interview before taking classroom training and practical training doing shifts with experienced volunteers. Volunteers on car patrol do not have to leave the vehicle. The volunteers are men and women of all ages and backgrounds, including some with police experience. Some people volunteer as a way to prepare for a career in police work. The time commitment is 60 hours a year with most volunteers doing more.

Volunteers can choose to go on the car patrols Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, or take part in the Speed Watch or Lock Out Auto Crime programs, which are done in partnership with ICBC. “The city recognizes the value of these volunteers and assists them in every way it can. The mayor takes every opportunity he can to thank our volunteers and so does the management of the RCMP,” said Borisenko. Inspector Jim McNamara is the RCMP operations officer for the Citizens on Patrol program. “The citizens of Vernon/North Okanagan are very fortunate to have a dedicated group of volunteer Citizens on Patrol. The COP volunteers are an integral component of our crime prevention efforts in Vernon/North Okanagan. “They are our extra eyes and ears on the streets who observe, record and report suspicious activities to our police officers,” he said. “They contribute thousands of hours of their time patrolling

our streets and have been directly responsible for the detection and recovery of numerous stolen vehicles. “They also provide a visible deterrent through their involvement in our Speed Watch and Lock Out Auto Crime programs which assists us in reducing our theft from automobile and speeding complaints,” said Borisenko. Borisenko hopes to be involved with the program for a long time to come. “It’s very rewarding for me and for the volunteers when we can see that what we do actually makes a difference. For example, Speed Watch calms traffic and improves safety by influencing up to 400 cars per hour going 80/90 KPH where they shouldn’t, to going 50/60 KPH,” he said.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Avoid trying to imitate the way another does something, because you would be far more effective in doing things your own way. However, I’m not sure you have the courage to trust yourself. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Certain people with whom you’re involved will have long memories. Thus, whether you are cooperative or uncooperative with them won’t easily be forgotten. Which will you choose? SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Don’t allow multiple responsibilities to intimidate you. However, it will take a strong belief in yourself in order for you to be able to handle several critical assignments simultaneously. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Remember, knowledge acquired makes you a more valuable person. But it all depends on your mindset as to whether or not learning will be a rewarding experience, or one that intimidates you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Although you’re only likely to put forth nominal effort on matters that should be of personal importance, don’t treat the interests of others in the same manner. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Unless you try your best to smooth over conditions that are a bit abrasive, you could find yourself in the middle of a brouhaha. Don’t let your ego get in the way and stop you from keeping the peace. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) The only way your normal channels of revenue have a chance of yielding larger
returns than usual is if you can keep your expenses down. However, this might be difficult for you to do. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Projects that require tenacity and boldness are the ones that usually appeal to you, but for some reason, this might not be true right now. You could have little staying power. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Even though you should be focusing on situations where you can derive some type of commission, you’re likely to direct all your attention on anything but. Get back on track.

3TOP A HEART ATTACK BEFORE IT STARTS
Bridge by Phillip Alder Is it responsible to duck or to win? The late Ann Richards, formerly governor of Texas, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you think taking care of yourself is selďŹ sh, change your mind. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re simply ducking your responsibilities.â&#x20AC;? We have ducking plays in bridge. Sometimes they are responsible, sometimes foolhardy. Which is it in this deal? South gets to three notrump, and West leads the spade king. What should declarer do? In the auction, two spades was a transfer to clubs, Southâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rebid saying that he liked clubs. (With poor clubs, he would have rebid two no-trump.) Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-heart rebid showed
a singleton or void in that suit. (With four hearts and longer clubs, North would have responded two clubs, Stayman, planning to show his clubs next if a heart ďŹ t was not uncovered.) South, with hearts well guarded, bid three no-trump. North, after a lot of staring at the ceiling, passed. Note that ďŹ ve clubs is defeated if West is psychic and leads his singleton diamond. (And ďŹ ve clubs by North has no chance.) South starts with seven top tricks: one spade, four hearts and two clubs. Assuming clubs are 2-1, not 3-0, that suit appears to provide seven winners, but there is a snag -the suit is blocked. Declarer must win the third round in his hand and there will be no
dummy entry left. Did you see the trick, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll excuse the pun? Declarer ducks the ďŹ rst trick. Then he ducks Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spade continuation. And on the third round, he discards his club nine. Finally, he plays a club to his king, cashes his four heart tricks, and runs the clubs for two overtricks.

We are sad to announce the passing of our Dad and Grandfather Doug, as he was know to his friends and family, on August 10, 2011 at the age of 79. He is lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his three daughters; Connie (David) Hack of PenƟcton, Brenda (Perry) Spence of Vernon, and Heather Butcher of Coquitlam as well as four grandchildren; Amy, Alex, Ian, and Jonathan, brother; Stan of Sechelt, and sister; Joan Blair of Truro, Nova ScoƟa. Doug was sadly predeceased by his wife Lois in 1996. Dad was born December 14, 1931 in Upper Stewiacke, Nova ScoƟa. He moved out west in his early 20’s for work and adventure. He worked in KiƟmat when it was only a “hint” of a town and ended up in Vancouver working for Standard Oil where he met and married the love of his life Lois May Gedge. Dad worked hard for sixteen years as a salesman on the road for Massey Ferguson and ended his career with Bleasdale Ford in PenƟcton. During those years he raised three daughters and ended up seƩling in PenƟcton in 1967. Dad was an avid curler and enjoyed many a bonspiel. He was always acƟvely involved in ACT during the 70s and 80s serving as president for some of those years. Dad was quick to tease and loved a joke. Even though he travelled for a living he loved to take us girls on long family camping trips all over Canada and the U.S. We want to thank the nurses on the 2nd Ňoor, South Pavilion at PenƟcton Regional Hospital for making our dad’s days as comfortable as they could be these past four months. He thought you were all wonderful girls. A memorial service will be held at 1:00pm on Monday, August 29th, 2011 at Parkview Funeral Chapel, 1258 Main Street, PenƟcton, BC, with Pastor John Briscall oĸciaƟng. Interment to follow at PenƟcton Lakeview Cemetery. Condolences may be sent to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com.

Robert was heart-broken after his fathers passing earlier this year and is now at peace with his parents.
