Bin blaze causes $100,000 damage RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s latest suspicious fire has been costly, but it won’t sidetrack the local apple harvest. About 1,200 wooden apple bins worth $100,000 were destroyed or damaged after flames erupted behind Growers Supply on Waddington Drive Monday at about 11:15 p.m. “This is never something you want to experience but we’re thankful for the efforts of the fire department to minimize the damage,” said Chris Pollock, marketing manager for B.C. Tree Fruits, which owns the bins. Thousands of other bins were in the vicinity and there was the concern the fire could impact them. Despite the loss, local orchardists will still be able to access bins for the apple harvest. “We have facilities across the Okanagan so we can transport bins to them,” said Pollock. The bins were located at the far back corner of the property in a locked compound. “There was a huge fire load and the flames could be seen across the city,” said Keith Green, Vernon fire chief. A chain link fence had to be removed to gain access to the site, and an excavator was needed so firefighters could reach all of the hot spots. “It was tough getting penetration into the pile (of bins). They’d fall over the fire and would flare up again,” said Green. There was the possibility that the fire would spread.

Firefighters try and douse flames from a suspicious apple bin fire at Growers Supply on Waddington Drive Monday night. “The buildings nearby were in jeopardy,” said Green. Investigators were on scene Tuesday and while a cause has not been determined, it’s believed the fire is suspicious. “It was dark in the back corner and there was little access. There’s not much back there that would be an ignition source,” said Green.

Officials won’t say if the Waddington Drive fire is linked to about 21 other suspicious fires in the Greater Vernon area. However, others are making those connections. “It didn’t affect our operation but it’s pretty scary stuff what’s going on in the community,” said Stewart Hill, with Growers Supply.

Guides SOAR into Enderby, make their mark RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Girl Guides have captured hearts in Enderby. Everywhere you look, banners and storefront posters celebrate the Spirit of Adventure Rendezvous, which has brought 2,500 Girl Guide leaders and youth to Enderby from

last Saturday to this Friday. Smiles abound as the guests wander the streets and pop in and out of shops. “We want to show them the community is happy they are here and we hope they will come back,” said Corinne Peard, with the Enderby Chamber of Commerce. The level of support peaked Saturday as

the Guides from seven countries kicked off festivities with a parade downtown. “The streets were lined with people,” said Laurie Hooker, B.C. Girl Guides public relations advisor. “The community has really embraced us.” Four other communities also bid for SOAR, which is held every three years.

Hooker insists the right choice was made. “I would go as far to say this is the best community we’ve been in,” she said. And it’s been a major undertaking for an event that has doubled the size of Enderby’s population.

Girl Guides connect with community Continued from A1

RichaRd Rolke/MoRning StaR

Cassandra, from Montreal, has been collecting Guide pins during the Spirit of Adventure Rendezvous in Enderby. For a video of the SOAR parade visit www.vernonmorningstar.com

Riverside Park has become a city within a city, with campsites creating a network of neighbourhoods. A giant stage sits on a ball field while the Lions Pavilion has been converted into a hospital and a gathering place for the visiting nations — the U.S., New Zealand, Australia, Britain, Japan and Grenada. Three hundred core staff eat three meals a day in the curling club, while the lounge is the administrative nerve centre for the entire operation. The ice is long removed from the arena and in its place is the food distribution centre. “It (activity) starts in here at 4:30 a.m. and they prepare the food totes to go to the camps,” said Hooker, adding that each Guide unit cooks their own meals. And the quantity of food being brought in constantly by reefer trucks is immense. Every day, about 6,600 juice boxes are consumed. Riverside Park’s maintenance building is also busy as it hosts site services — everything from recycling and trash to portable washrooms, water and propane. Activity stations are dotted throughout the park and the opportunities range from science and art to physical fitness and photography. Community service is also critical and girls create dog toys or put together sanitary kits that will be sent to Third World Nations. A mural with Guide symbols starts to wrap itself around one of the park’s buildings. “It’s a legacy project we will leave in the community,” said Hooker. When they aren’t busy in Enderby, a fleet of buses transports the young women to activities throughout the Interior, including rafting in Lytton, gleaning in Lavington, trail building in Grindrod and visiting the Allan Brooks Nature Centre in Vernon. For many of the participants, this is their first time away from home on a major excursion.

“The people are very nice and I’m making friends easily,” said Cassandra, from Montreal, Que. Part of the fun has come from trading keepsake pins with the rest of the girls. “They’re pretty and easy to keep on a hat,” said Cassandra. Hanna, from Bellingham, Wash., is enjoying the diversity SOAR provides. “This is the first time I’ve been meeting people from other countries,” she said. Outside of Riverside Park, the Guides are making quite an impression on Enderby residents. “What a great group of young ladies,” said Melanie King, with Mel’s Mainstreet Pizza and Pasta. Over at Sutherland’s Bakery, many of the Guides have virtually become regulars. “As the door opens for a group to leave, the next group comes in,” said owner Greg McCune. Based on previous SOARs, businesses were advised in advance about what products are in highest demand. The goal is to not run out. “All of the ice cream suppliers have everything they need,” said Peard. With the bond between the Guides and Enderby growing stronger every day, the hope is that the leaders and youth will return to their homes and relate their experiences to friends and family. If all goes well, that will translate into return trips. “We want to be able to welcome them back,” said Peard.

Foisy retires as Cherryville rep richard rolke Morning Star Staff

A fixture in regional politics is retiring. Eugene Foisy has announced he won’t seek another term in November as Regional District of North Okanagan director. He has represented Cherryville for 20 years. “It’s time for some new blood. Times are changing,” he said. Foisy was first elected in a byelection and then was Eugene Foisy acclaimed to office in every election after that. “I’ve always appreciated the support of

the community. It’s been humbling,” said the 72-year-old logger who has lived in Cherryville since he was 10 years old. Among the major accomplishments over Foisy’s tenure are the removal of property from the Agricultural Land Commission to allow for development, the introduction of high-speed Internet and the creation of a community forest. However, Foisy insists he has only played a support role and the major advocates for the various initiatives have come from Cherryville itself. “The community has some backbone and stands up for each other,” he said. Foisy admits he has enjoyed his time with regional district staff and directors. “It’s been a great experience and I will miss the friendships I’ve made. There’s

been a lot of companionship,” he said. Foisy has gained respect at RDNO. “He’s a quiet guy but when he speaks, it’s common sense he’s saying,” said Jackie Pearase, rural Enderby director, who sits next to Foisy at meetings. “He has a history of what’s happened before but he’s always focused on the present. He has given Cherryville a voice. He has made sure people understand that the issues in Cherryville are as important as in other communities.” Rick Fairbairn, RDNO vice-chairperson, says Foisy has been an active member of the board. “He’s always been a stable influence in terms of his approach with issues,” said Fairbairn. “When he speaks, it makes sense and people listen to him.”

Cameron launches bid for board richard rolke Morning Star Staff

An active Cherryville resident wants to represent the community’s interests. Hank Cameron will run for Regional District of North Okanagan director in November. “I know most of the people out here,” he said. “I’d like to have a positive influence on the development of the community.” Hank Cameron Eugene Foisy, who has been Cherryville’s director for 20 years, won’t seek re-election. A forestry contractor, the 60-year-old Cameron

has lived in Cherryville for 27 years. He is a member of the regional district’s advisory planning commission and is involved with the Cherry Ridge Management Committee, which operates the local community forest. Cameron insists there is a need to promote Cherryville’s rural character while encouraging growth that supports the community. “We need to attract young families here and maintain the affordability of servicing lots,” he said. “We need to attract people who can make a living here.” Another issue Cameron believes needs to be considered is private water systems. “The things that affect our water on private land and on adjacent Crown land have people talking about it these days,” he said.

Vehicle accident leads to minor injuries Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

Occupants escaped with minor injuries after their SUV was forced onto its side Sunday evening. RCMP were called to the accident at 27th Street and 53rd Avenue around 10 p.m. which involved a Kia rental car driven by a 47-year-old woman from Italy and two passengers. “She didn’t notice a Chevy Tracker being driven by a 75-year-old man from Vernon,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson.

The driver and two passengers of the Chevy all received minor injuries and were transported to Vernon Jubilee Hospital for treatment. “There’s an indication that the vehicle flipped on its side as a result of that accident.” The jaws of life were needed in the accident. “Very fortunate, it could have been much worse,” said Molendyk. The driver of the Kia and her passengers, also from Italy, were not injured. She has been issued a violation ticket for failure to yield.

Greater Vernon residents have to learn a whole new routine for outdoor irrigation. The Regional District of North Okanagan has shifted from a basic oddeven schedule for watering to only allowing irrigation on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Jennifer Miles Saturdays for odd addressed numbers and Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays for even addresses. No manual sprinklers will be allowed Mondays. “We wanted to simplify things and clarify the timelines,” said Jennifer Miles, sustainability co-ordinator. “The odd-numbered addresses were gaining a day and the evens were losing a day in a 31-day month and

some people thought that was unfair.” Under the new normal conditions: n Automatic timer irrigation may operate between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m. n Manual sprinklers (moved by hand) may be used between the hours of 6 and 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. and midnight. n Drip irrigation may operate anytime n Customers using a watering can or hose with spring-loaded nozzle may water anytime n There is no domestic/commercial outdoor watering between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. There were a few reasons for not allowing manual sprinklers Mondays. “It’s for the equity side of things so everyone has three days,” said Miles. “We can also better monitor our water flows.” Miles says the new model will also allow residents to ease into tighter rules when drought occurs and to be more aware of the situation.

Coldstream bee hives stolen Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

A Coldstream theft has created a buzz. Five bee hives were stolen from the 7900 block of McClounie Road sometime last week. The hives had been placed there for the summer and the owner of the property had been away for a few days. The owner of the hives believes the theft had recently occurred as there were still numerous bees in the area. It’s suspected the theft took place at night and involved two people to lift the hives, which weighed between 100 and 300 pounds each. “They would have had to have covered them probably and in all likelihood were well outfitted so they didn’t get stung,” said Gord Molendyk,

RCMP spokesperson. “It is an unusual theft in the sense that bees are something that isn’t easy to deal with, but it is lucrative for the individuals that are stealing it. “It is something that it is not traceable but the honey in it is a valuable commodity.” The hives are estimated to be worth between $3,000 and $3,200. But factoring in future lost income puts the theft value around $10,000. Other beekeepers are asked to be vigilant with their hives as this isn’t the first theft of this nature. “I recall last fall there were reports of several of them,” said Molendyk. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Vernon RCMP at 250545-7171 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

RCMP recipients of thanks Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

In an often thankless job, RCMP officers were touched by a recent random act of kindness and want to get a message out to those responsible. “You know who you are but we don’t,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. On July 11 and 12, officers went out to their marked cars to discover a thank you card on their windshield. The cards, decorated with stickers of flowers, butterflies and Teddy bears, are anonymous, but nonetheless appreciated by everyone at the detachment. “There’s not always nice messages left on our cars for officers,” said Molendyk, as the job can often solicit an unfavorable response by some.

Cadets to be inspected during parade Morning Star Staff

Another round of cadets are being recognized for their efforts. On Friday, Lt.-Col. Kevin Tyler, commanding officer of the Rocky Mountain Rangers, will inspect eight platoons of cadets who have finished five different three-week basic courses at the Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre. The cadets, who will march on to Sicily Square at 8:30 a.m., have improved their skills in marksmanship, drill, sports and fitness, expedition and musicianship. Spectators are welcome to join the cadets and their families for the parade. Entrance to the centre is through the tunnel under Highway 97. Parking is to the west of the highway. During the summer, more than 1,150 army, sea and air cadets will spend up to six weeks in the Okanagan Valley, expanding the training they receive at their home corps, developing new skills and forming friendships. The national cadet program is for young

Canadians aged 12 to 18 who are interested in a variety of activities while learning about the

sea, army and air activities of the Canadian Armed Forces. Cadets also learn

valuable life and work skills such as teamwork, leadership and citizenship. Family Owned & Operated Offers valid ‘til July 29, 2014

Still on the job

ob Sawatzky bristles at the suggestion that he’s become a lame duck. It was just last week that he announced he would not seek a second term as Vernon mayor in November. While some have speculated on what that will mean for his last four months in office, Sawatzky insists it’s business as usual. “Nothing has changed,” he said during an interview Tuesday. “I still have all of the same responsibilities and powers. All that has changed is I don’t have to campaign, which means I will have time to focus on the job.” He remains committed to his pre-election goals, Richard Rolke including improving the relationship between Vernon, Coldstream and the regional district. “We still don’t have the final bylaws in place for the delivery of the new parks model,” he said. “It’s not exciting but it has to be done. There’s been a lot of effort and good will on the part of three administrations and we have to get it accomplished.” And the time and resources that have gone into restructuring of parks and recreational facilities have been immense. Countless hours have been spent at meetings as politicians hammered out the concerns of their respective communities. That was then followed by administrators ironing out the fine details and ensuring the plans conform to legal frameworks. A similar process unfolded with the water utility, and the bottom line is that the working arrangement between the three jurisdictions is the best it’s been in years. Now you may wonder why the final bylaws confirming the parks model are delayed, but it’s not a local problem. “We’re having to work with the Ministry of Community Development to get the bylaws approved. There’s been a turn-over (in staff)

BEyond thE hEAdlinES

at the ministry and that’s been difficult,” said Sawatzky. When asked if he’s concerned if a new round of politicians elected in November may reverse thrusters on parks and recreation, Sawatzky denies that is his focus. He says his predecessor should have a clean slate to start with. “We need to finish the work we started. It’s our responsibility. We don’t want to leave it to others to finish our work.” Until those bylaws are inked, Sawatzky is concerned critical projects will not proceed because of uncertainty. “It’s an important part of moving forward in the delivery of service,” he said. Beyond parks, Sawatzky wants to spend his last few months in office ensuring Vernon has its house in order. “How will we maintain and build our infrastructure over the long-term?” he said. The city is currently in the midst of developing a strategic asset management plan for sidewalks, roads, sewer pipes and public buildings. The projected price tag is a staggering $80 million, including $6.3 to $6.9 million for roads annually over 10 years. And the impact on the community could be substantial if road lane widths are reduced to decrease maintenance, fewer sidewalks are replaced and ditches in some rural neighbourhoods are installed for drainage. Obviously infrastructure will dominate the future council’s agenda, but Sawatzky’s goal is to reduce the learning curve so the new council can hit the ground running with asset management. “It will be a blueprint for years to come.” Wikipedia describes a lame duck politician as someone, “choosing not to seek another term at the expiration of the current term.” Obviously Sawatzky has made it clear that he won’t return to office, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be taking a hands-off approach. Just as he was when he first sat in the mayor’s chair, Sawatzky’s pending departure will see him remain focused.

The Okanagan Basin Water Board has re-launched its Okanagan WaterWise campaign. Bringing water issues to the forefront in the Okanagan Valley is a good thing on several fronts. First, residents of the Okanagan consume 675 litres of water per day, in an average year, compared to the Canadian average of 329 litres. Heat waves, such as the current spell residents of the valley are enduring, certainly don’t help matters. On average then, Okanagan residents consume twice as much water as the average Canadian. If the water supply in the Okanagan Valley was double that of the average Canadian water supply then water use in the Okanagan would be sustainable. However, the Okanagan Valley has less water available per person than anywhere else in Canada, according to the OBWB. Unless we begin to use water more wisely, both for domestic and non-domestic uses, the Okanagan Valley could face serious challenges. With the advance of climate change, increased evaporation will reduce the amount of water available in part by reducing the amount of snowpack. Increasing temperatures will also extend the low-flow period, putting ecosystems at risk and potentially lead to water shortages. Municipalities across the Okanagan Valley, including Vernon, are also attracting new residents, which increases the burden on our limited water supply. Conservation is key to avoiding water availability issues. Let’s make every drop count. Black Press

Water management is vital to area

y youngest sister, who I suspect is a lot smarter than I, once defined home ownership as, "Water and its management." If this management task is done well, then one of the potential headaches of owning our little piece of heaven is eliminated. If neglected? Well then please pass the Tylenol. Most of us urban dwellers have a limited understanding of how the water that flows so readily and conveniently from our faucets gets there. We can reflect vaguely about some big body of water, and some pipes and maybe a treatment plant but as to listing the details involved in assuring a safe and renewable supply of water most of us would draw a blank. We are, however, very aware of the cost of this service to us personally and these costs seem to be on the rise. We will face a referendum question in the fall involving the initial borrowing of $70 million to begin the infrastructure of the Greater Vernon master plan. canada day hero On Canada Day, the stage was ready for Legendary Lake Monsters and a few people had started to gather for the 7:30 p.m. start of this great band’s music. I arrived at the DND grounds at around 7 p.m. to help set up for the Sutton movie on the big screen. The hero of our story, Terry Schmauder, trotted over to greet a few of the “free popcorn” makers. Sweat-stained and clearly thinking of 20 different things, he took the time to shake our hands, thank us for coming and proceeded to give instructions on how the popcorn maker worked and where extra supplies were. Over he went then to the Kiss FM booth to help them sort out how to broadcast the music for the fireworks. A final check of the band stage and conferring with Big Screen Fun movie set-up people, he was off to liaison with the crew doing the fireworks up by Allan Brooks Nature Centre. One of the band members said it best as they finished their gig, “He’ll be sure to thank everyone else involved with putting on this incredible night, but this event was almost single-handedly managed by Terry Schmauder.” And we all applauded. From what I heard, Terry was not only the moving force on the ground, but had spearheaded all of the fund-

We will be assured by professional engineers and by most politicians that we should vote yes; and that may well be the way to go, but I fear the referendum question will be answered by the general public considering only the magnitude of the numbers and not from having a clear understanding of the pros and cons of the plan. We need clear reasons and clear language from those who know and understand the issues and processes best. I understand that someone has prepared 200 questions with answers. Such information could prove very useful. It may be a lot to ask but wouldn't it be great if we voted on this issue from a position of understanding rather than one of emotion. No matter what class of water user we are we are all in this decision together. It is like we are living in one house when it comes to water. Greater Vernon may well be defined someday by water and its management. Let us hope in that day, such a definition will be a compliment. shawn lee

raising from the generous sponsors to have the best fireworks Vernon has ever seen. No great events happen without someone carrying the day. So, thank you, Terry, from your community, for a fine event, a free event, enjoyed by thousands to celebrate our country’s 147th. Beth Marks kids of steel On June 21, we held the second annual Paradigm Naturopathic Kids of Steel Triathlon. From 9 to 11 a.m., close to 200 kids swam in Okanagan Lake, biked on Tronson Rd and ran on Lakeshore Road. As each participant crossed the finish line, a medal was placed around their neck by Nathan Champness, a professional triathlete. This fun triathlon is a very positive, inspiring and healthy event for the kids in our community and beyond and we are thrilled that our community’s interest has meant that we have reached our capacity for registration two years in a row. The organizing committee would like to thank the residents on Tronson Road for being so respectful and supportive of the kids’ safety and supporting this event. We would love to reduce road hazards even further next year by requesting a full road closure from 9 to 11 a.m. to ensure the safety of our

local and visiting athletes. Thanks again. kids of steel triathlon organizing committee

shift the pathway to the side of the right-of-way, and let the trains roll again. A gravel bed bike/walking path is not expensive to build and maintain. To Garry's second concern, the economic study, which has been based on factual research from other existing paths in North America, shows a net economic profit on annual visitor revenue that will contribute towards paying down the long-term debt. Kelowna would pick up the majority of this debt load, as it would gain the most value. Contributions, hopefully, from the federal and provincial governments, along with the sale of surplus properties, should leave manageable costs to Vernon and Lake Country. In conclusion, we can remember the story of Beecher's folly. Beecher was the minister of transport in the U.K. in 1969, and oversaw a massive downsizing of the British Rail Service, where 3,000 miles of track were removed from service to smaller towns, and sold off privately. Today, with traffic congestion and carbon reduction concerns, two of these major trunk lines are back in service, and others are likely to follow. As you would expect, the cost of repurchasing the land from private holdings has been astronomical. dave G. smith

rail line I enjoyed Garry Haas's letter to the editor on July 2, concerning the trail proposal for a pathway to Kelowna along the abandoned rail line. I agree completely with his two main points, which were: 1. We need to save this route for future freight or rapid transit traffic. 2. The City of Vernon has longterm debt on a number of recent mega-projects, and much more projects, incurring debt, are being proposed To his first point, to secure the line for the future, it needs to be purchased and held as a public asset. The true cost will be much less than the purchase cost, as the CN package contains valuable surplus properties that are not essential for the route, and can be sold or utilized, particularly within the City of Kelowna. And, unlike say an ice rink, this is an asset that will only grow in value. Today, a rapid transit option is much too expensive for the population served. But the population is growing, and transport solutions are dropping in cost. Say in 25 years, we may decide to open the line again. At this point, it would be easy to

Some Lavington residents are fuming over the possibility of a pellet plant moving into their neighbourhood, while others are quietly cheering on the project. Close to 60 people attended an open house to learn more about a wood pellet plant proposed off School Road next to the Tolko mill. “There were a number of people who wanted to come just to inform themselves on what the project entitled,” said Craig

Lodge, vice president of Forestry with Pinnacle Renewable Energy. The project is a partnership between Tolko and Pinnacle Renewable Energy and would bring 20 fulltime positions to the area. “There was quite a number of people who came out and just quietly expressed support for the project,” said Lodge. And there were also concerns from some neighbours about air emissions, noise, dust and the overall impact the plant will have on the area, which includes the nearby Lavington Elementary School. “I just find it absolutely absurd that the District of Coldstream does not allow any of its residents to have a backyard fire pit but will allow a huge industrial polluter right into our backyards

and within 150 metres from an elementary school,” said Stephanie Hoffman, one opposing neighbour. Along with signing the petition, Hoffman urges everyone concerned about the plant to attend Monday’s council meeting at 6 p.m., where a zoning bylaw to accommodate the plant could be approved. “We need numbers to attend as it may be our last chance to fight the fight,” said Hoffman. Those with concerns also have until Aug. 2 to get their written comments to the Environment Protection Officer, Authorizations Southern Interior Region (Cariboo Office) Environment Protection Division, Ministr y of Environment 400 -

Pinnacle maintains this plant will be state of the art. “We’re putting in new drying technology which will allow us to significantly reduce particulate levels, particularly PM2.5,” said Lodge. Hoffman was also told by a Ministry of Environment official that there will be strict monitoring in place to make sure the plant is operating within the air quality guidelines. But, she adds: “No matter what the guidelines ‘suggest’, any level of particulate discharge is negative to human health.” The facility will operate 24 hours a day/ seven days a week but the main mode of transport for product will be rail. Railway activity is expected to double, while the plant will only add an extra four trucks per day to the road. The gravel driveway from School Road to the two-hectare footprint site will be paved to reduce road dust. As a result, current truck traffic accessing Tolko via Jeffers Drive for sawdust, shavings, chips and hog fuel will be redirected to the new road on the north side of the tracks. If all approvals go through, Pinnacle is hoping to begin construction sometime around September and be operational next year.

Arts abound in Enderby Saturday

Festival brochures are available now at local businesses, the Courtyard Gallery, Enderby museum and Enderby library.

Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

Those driving along the highway north of Vernon, or languishing on the Shuswap River, may want to get out of their cars, or their floating devices, and check into Enderby Saturday. Presented by the Enderby and District Arts Council, the Enderby Arts Festival is a free family event that runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. along Cliff Avenue and Belvedere Street. The event features artisans showing their wares, all-day musical entertainment, an exhibition featuring photo contest entries in the Courtyard Gallery, a Lions pancake breakfast, food court, art auction of fine prints, a drum circle and much more. “We have over 40 artisan booths and about eight non-profit booths, including the Enderby and District Garden Club, The Lower Shuswap Stewardship Society, Shuswap Spinners and Weavers and others,” said Diana Inselberg, vice-president with the Enderby and District Arts Council. New this year is the Family Fun Zone in Belvidere Park, put on by the Enderby Community Resource Centre. The zone will feature a bouncy castle, magician, cartoonist, face painter, art stations and other activity stations from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. “The Enderby and District Arts Council is really pleased to have the Enderby Community Resource Centre as a partner for this event,” said Inselberg, adding it takes approximately 20-to-25 volunteers to put on the main part of the festival, with more vol-

Film Words and Pictures plays out artistic debate For The Morning Star

The second film in the Vernon Film Society’s summer series is Words and Pictures. It stars well known actors Clive Owen (Children of Men, Croupier) as Jack Marcus and Juliette Binoche (Chocolat,The English Patient) as Dina Delsanto. The action takes place in a prep school and is directed by veteran director Fred Schepisi (Six Degrees of Separation, Last Orders). Both Owen and Binoche play teachers –he a one time literary star who has not published in years, estranged from his son and battling alcoholism; she formerly a celebrated abstract painter whose severe arthritis derailed her career. Owen faces a performance review and his job is on the line when he comes upon an inspired

method of galvanizing students by declaring a war between words and pictures. Dina and her art students accept the challenge from Jack and his English students. He is confident words can convey greater meaning than pictures and the battles begin. The witty script by Gerald DiPego brings a balance of lightness and gravity to this unusually intelligent romantic comedy. Owen and Binoche, meanwhile, are as charismatic and complex as ever, playing two hard headed, fiercely intelligent and passionate people whose abundant and personal troubles have not yet crushed their competitive drive. Yet even as the war between Jack and Dina escalates, it becomes clear that this particular battle will not

be so much about individual victory as about collective triumph. Some critics have commented the movie has faint echoes of the Spencer Tracy–Katherine Hepburn movies with their banter and wit. “Owen and Binoche sparkle, while never losing grasp of the headstrong qualities that make their characters dedicated and formidable opponents on the philosophical question at the movie’s core: is a picture really worth a thousand words?” said Brent Simon, with Paste Magazine. Words and Pictures screens at the Towne Cinema in downtown Vernon Monday at 5:15 and 7:45 p.m. Tickets are $7 (cash only), available one week in advance at the theatre and the Bean Scene, as well as at the door.

Tofu Stravinsky stirs up some Fondue in Vernon July 30 Morning Star Staff

sarah orton, vocalist with tofu stravinsky.

Get ready for a bit of a scramble of musical styles when Nelson by-theway of Montreal-based band Tofu Stravinsky joins Vernon’s OM for a house concert open to the public Wednesday, July 30. Tofu is coming to Vernon as a part of their end-of-summer crossCanada tour to promote their latest EP, Fondue, said OM’s Orion Miller. “(The album) features Tofu’s lively musical passion, intellect, charm, and style,” he said, adding the band is colourfully described on its web-

site as “smooth, crunchy, jazzy and hip... The music of Tofu Stravinsky is like walking through a glowing city-scape drinking good red wine from a Coke can – the beginning to a perfect night.” Having shared the stage with twotime Juno award winner Alex Cuba as well as with Sloan, Hey Ocean! and the Tequila Mockingbord Orchestra, Tofu Stravinsky is quickly making a name for themselves amongst some of Canada’s finest musicians. Winners of Artist of the Year at the 2014 Kootenay Music Awards,

the band features the dynamic vocals of Sarah Orton, supported by the Johnny Marr-like guitar stylings of Tyler Toews and Jon Perry’s cunning synth hooks. The band is grounded by a dance-floor-filling rhythm section composed of Pat McTaggart on bass and Edward T on drums. Local Okanagan favourites OM will start off the night with one of their classic and highly energetic sets. With hip hop verses to empower the people, bold harmonies, and creative use of dual loop pedals, OM sounds more like a trip-hop orches-

tra than a three-piece band. “For first timers of OM, expect a powerhouse of sound,” said Miller. “For current OM followers, expect some new surprise tracks that evening to further expand your horizons.” Tofu Stravinsky and OM perform at Maddock Ridge Farm in Vernon Wednesday, July 30. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and music begins at 7 p.m. Directions to Maddock Ridge are printed on the tickets, which are available at the Bean Scene coffee house in Vernon.

Pastor Rick Schulz, Peace Lutheran Church, and the Rev. Dr. Teresa Charlton, Knox Presbyterian Church, with assistance from mascot Frank, discuss plans for the upcoming Creation Chaos vacation Bible school for school-aged kids to be held at both churches in August.

Joining forces for summer fun Crafts, cookies and craziness are all on the menu as Knox Presbyterian and Peace Lutheran Churches co-host vacation Bible school Katherine MortiMer

Morning Star Staff

Plastic bottles will be turned into fish, and coffee filters into dream catchers when Knox Presbyterian Church and Peace Lutheran Church host Creation Chaos Vacation Bible school this summer. At Knox, Creation Chaos takes place Aug. 4 to 8 and at Peace, the fun runs Aug. 25 to 29, from 9 a.m. to noon at both sessions. The Rev. Dr. Teresa Charlton has been busy coming up with ideas for this year’s VBS, and running them by her three kids for approval. “When we do these, I always encourage the creativity to go where it needs to go,” she said. “I started to notice last year that creativity just does what it wants to do, what it needs to do, so this year when I designed it, I kept it looser but prepared a basic script. It’s us as leaders letting it go where the spirit moves us. It’s that sense of being alive in Christ, to let the children take the lead and to guide and to empower them that way. “But we chose creation as the theme as a play on words from Creative Chaos. We want to tell the story of creation through the crafts we make, although of course

we’re doing it all in five days, so on the seventh day when God rested, it will actually be day five of our program and we’ll have a big concert.” For the second year in a row, Knox will join forces with Peace Lutheran, where Pastor Rick Schulz has been busy working with his team to ensure a week’s worth of fun mixed with learning in the program, which is aimed at school-aged kids. “I have already had phone calls from people wondering when we’re doing it,” he said. “Doing this together is great for us because Teresa and I realized that our congregations are the same, with fewer children and more older people, but we are on opposite sides of town and we can serve a bigger part of the community this way. “So we are doing the same framework but taking it in a slightly different direction. I’m excited about helping the children see that church can be fun and if they happen to be learning something at the same time, it’s a bonus.” Charlton noticed that last year’s VBS brought together children and seniors in an atmosphere of fun and mentorship. “It’s been remarkable to see what the seniors in our congregation have learned, that their faith has grown — it brings the generations together, with my older people learning how to be younger, and the children of course benefit from that grandparent experience. “You saw such wonder and delight. It was amazing to see the volunteers here be so adaptable.” Charlton said she was inspired by Vernon artist Gerry Marchand and his series of paintings done on circles. “The inspiration for this year’s program

came from that,” said Charlton, adding that all crafts done by the children will use recycled materials and each day, children will do a particular craft that relates to the story of creation, and add it to the circle. Kids will have the chance to make dragonflies from newspaper ties and pipe cleaners and flowers from discarded hymn books. “My garage is filled with supplies,” said Charlton, displaying other crafts that make use of bubble wrap and a moon made with shaving foam and glue. “And I always find that the volunteers have as much fun as the kids do during this, as they engage with the children — I find it’s often the retired people in the church who help out, and last year I had an 80-year-old jumping in the bouncy castle. “These days we don’t have as many teens helping out because they usually have jobs — it’s a different world now.” Creation Chaos takes place Aug. 4 to 8 from 9 a.m. to noon at Knox Presbyterian Church, 3701-32nd Ave., and Aug. 25 to 29 from 9 a.m. to noon at Peace Lutheran Church, 1204-30th Ave. The programs are open to all children in the community, not just members of the congregation. All participants in the program will receive a souvenir DVD of the week’s activities to take home. The concert takes place on the last day of the program at Knox, Aug. 8, at 10:30 a.m., and all are welcome. Hot dogs and ice cream will be served.

Harvesting garlic wave we just had got the best of me. Even with the mulch I added this year, it seems that all I did this month was water. All my barrels are empty and ready for the next rain. The raspberries were sweet and juicy. The harvest is done for this crop but some of the new canes are already blooming so it won’t be long before I get one more harvest which will last until frost. All my garlic and onions are out of the ground and drying in the shed. Once the tops of your garlic plants start to die back, you know it’s time to har-

cloves that don’t store well. Leave the bulbs in the ground too long and the cloves may be bursting out of their skins. This is what happened to me last year as I left them in the ground too long. I still managed to save enough for the fall planting and the other ones I stored in the cool basement and the bad ones (no papery skins) I froze. Always dig your garlic, never try to pull it. You may have planted a small clove, but the bulb is now deep with a strong root system. Use a fork, rather than a shovel. The fork helps loosen the soil and shake free the bulbs. You can use a shovel, but you might be tempted to get too close to the cloves and accidentally slice through it. A sliced bulb can still be used, but it can’t be stored. Brush off any soil clinging to the bulbs. Leave the stalks and roots on the bulbs, while they dry. Allow the bulbs to cure, or dry, for three to four weeks in either a wellventilated room or a dry, shady spot outside. Sunlight can change the flavour of fresh garlic. Once the tops and roots have dried they can be cut off. You can also further clean

the bulbs by removing the outer skins. Just be careful not to expose any of the cloves. Keep your garlic in a cool dark place where it will still get some air circulation. Braiding and hanging garlic is a good way to keep it, but don’t hang it in the kitchen, where it will be in bright light. You could also store your garlic in a mesh bag or dish. There is nothing easier than saving garlic. Simply put aside a few top quality bulbs to plant in the fall. Store bulbs for replanting at room temperature, with a fairly high humidity, so they don’t dry out. I started harvesting my potatoes, and they have no scab by growing them in shredded leaves. I didn’t get that many but the pots might have been too small. I will see when I harvest the larger container later. I didn’t think that gardening was hazardous to your health but the other day I lost a tooth as I was biting into a freshly picked carrot. I put the tooth under the pillow and I am still waiting. Is there a tooth fairy? With all the garden fairies now maybe I should have put it under a rock. For more information: 250-558-4556.

Lake Country builds up Main Street development kevin parnell Black Press

After years of trying to lure commercial

development to Lake Country’s Main Street, a project has received its first round of approvals.

The Callahan Group has received first reading for a development permit from district

council to construct four commercial buildings that will provide up to 27,000-square-

feet of development on the site. It’s just the second development proposed

Why do I need a will?

If you don’t have a will, a court decides who gets your assets. A will is a device that lets you tell the world whom you want to get your assets. Die without one, and the state decides who gets what, without regard to your wishes or your heirs’ needs. Making a will is especially important for people with young children, because wills are the best way to transfer guardianship of minors. You may amend your will at any time. In fact, it’s a good idea to review it periodically and especially when your marital status changes.

We worry, so you don’t have to!

Water safety urged in Interior Morning Star Staff

The Interior Health Authority is reminding the public that it’s important to be safe around water. So far this year, there have been 25 deaths in B.C. due to accidental drowning, 15 of which have been in the Interior. “Water activities like swimming and boating can be a lot of fun and a

great way to cool down, but drowning is a real danger,” said Dr. Lizette Elumir, resident public health physician. “Drowning can happen fast, sometimes in less than a minute.” Elumir stresses that prevention is the key to reducing drowning deaths in our region. Always swim with a buddy.

Do not go beyond your abilities. Do not go farther or into deeper water than you can handle. Never dive into unknown water. Underwater objects may appear deeper than they are. Don’t mix alcohol or other drugs with water activities; these substances can affect judgment, co-ordination and the ability to self-rescue. Always supervise children when around water; a child can drown in seconds in only a few inches of water. Install four-sided fencing around pools with a gate that cannot be opened by a child, and child proof or lock doors that open directly to a backyard pool area. Learn life-saving techniques including CPR and artificial respiration. Take a marine safety course. Always wear a life-jacket when on a boat, personal water craft, paddle board or any other water craft; nearly 90 per cent of all boaters who drown are not wearing a life-jacket or not wearing it properly. Always have a spotter when towing people who are skiing, wake boarding or riding on an inflatable. Use caution when near water. Falling into a pool or other body of water can be very dangerous. If you hit your head and become unconscious, you can drown very quickly.

Knight shines Morning Star Staff

Jesse Knight scored twice as Kal Tire clipped Alves Bros. 2-1 in Kelowna Men’s 35+ Soccer League action Monday night at Marshall Field #2. Knight now shares the league’s scoring crown with Morgan Marrs of Alves. Bros., at 19 goals. Control of the play went back and forth but Kal Tire started to put more pressure on and near the 30th minute, Knight, pulled groin and all, broke free and put a low shot past the towering Alves Bros. keeper. In the second half, play was even again with very few chances. Kal Tire pushed out the right side and gained a throw in. Mark Budgen found Knight on the goal line and Knight beat a defender and then the keeper with another low corner shot. As expected, Alves Bros pushed back with 10 minutes to go and broke the shutout on the final play when they gained a corner and Vernon product Johnny Orton guided the ball in the net. Kal Tire improved to 10-3, while Alves Bros. dipped to 11-3. Meanwhile, striker Gord Howard hammered two posts and then went to his left foot for goals five minutes apart, finishing with four snipes as the Okanagan Spring Brewery Camels bounced the Vernon Liquor Store Stallions 5-1 at Marshall #1. Howard leads the 9-4-1 Humpbacks with nine goals in the Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League. He was named Longhorn Man of the Match alongside keeper Dave Dutcher. Andrew Whiston and Rick Danyluk were both denied by the acrobatic Dutcher as the 7-5-2 Stallions enjoyed seven corners in the opening half. Howard was wide open on the left side for his first goal and turned a defender inside out for his second. He completed the hat trick on a corker after newbie Neil McPhie, sold to the Camels in an offseason transfer by Bosman Accounting, riverdanced through three defenders and dished off. Central midfielder Darren Hansen, wearing mismatched socks and outdated shorts, lofted a 37-yarder bar down which was tapped in by winger Zane Klym, for the

Big O/Turn-Key Ogopogos stopped the Kelowna Rented Mules 4-3 at Marshall #3. Mark Wasylyk deked this way and that, making a fake worthy of a scene in the movie Harry Met Sally, and put it into the empty Mule net, making it 1-1 early. The Rented Mules took another lead on a free kick, however Ogopogo star Bryan Schenker took things in his own hands and replied with two goals, one off a penalty kick after been taken down in the 18 before half, and another in the second half on a kick just inside the 18 into the far top corner.. The stubborn Mules (3-10-1) fought back and levelled the score on a awesome free

kick just over the outstretched arms of keeper Bryan Cope. The Ogopogos missed chance after chance on many exciting attempts until Schenker completed his hat trick by carrying the ball through a maze and finding the corner. The 4-9-1 Ogopogo defence, anchored by Leo Nadeau, held the Rented Mules to just four shots in the second half. Returning from a collasped lung injury, Roland Riedstra gave a valiant effort, just missing on his opportunites. Penticton Dental Centre United and Brown Benefits drew 1-1 for the second time this season in a battle of undefeated clubs at Dale Meadows Park in Summerland. Penticton came out strong and were rewarded with a Mike Beliveau goal midway through the first half when his shot found the bottom corner. Just like two weeks ago,

Browns came out gunning for an equalizer in the second half and finally broke through the stingy United defence when Craig Bakala’s long-range effort went in the top corner, off the underside of the crossbar. The Browns (11-0-3) poured on the pressure but couldn’t find a winner as the 12-0-2 Penticton keeper made several great saves. Sam Kimpian scored twice as Lake Country edged North Country Appraisals Kickers 4-3 at Parkinson #10 Field. The Lakers got singles from Neil MacNeil and Paul Charlton. Steve Fagan, Steve Reston and Floyd Ryan had the North Country goals. North Country (9-5) hit the bar on a late penalty kick. Todd Ryder had a stellar game in the 6-3-5 Lake Country net and had some help from the goal post and cross bar. Bosman Accouting took a 1-0 forfeit over last-place Rutland Spirit, improving to 4-7-3.

Spall foursome 2nd Morning Star Staff

ALLEN DOUGLAS/BLACK PRESS

Darrell Landels of the Vernon Tigers prepares to unleash a shot with Dylan Srepel of the Kamloops Venom in pursuit Saturday night in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League playoff action at Memorial Arena.

Tigers take 2-0 lead Morning Star Staff

One team with the most powerful offence in the league. The other tops on defence. On paper, a fanfriendly championship final. The defensive-leading Vernon Source For Sports Tigers stopped the first-place Kamloops Venom 11-9 before 350 fans Monday night at Kal Tire Place. Vernon took the best-of-five Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League final series opener 10-7 Saturday night at Memorial Arena. Game 3 goes tonight in Kamloops. A fourth game, if required, will go Friday night in Vernon. “We put in systems and processes that we’ve been running and tweaking the last three years and these guys just know it and they execute it very well,” said Vernon head coach Myles Brumpton. “Our short man were just lights out. Our ball raggers on special teams ragged three penalties right out and when we do that, we run their guys into the ground.” The Tigers (13-1-2) and Venom (14-1-1) earn automatic spots in the provincials, here, August long week and Vernon wants to win the league playoff crown before hosting the big tournament. “That’s been the mind-set from the coaching staff,” said Brumpton. “The coaches have done an excellent job getting these guys ready. We do want to earn our right to get in there (provincials).” Brady Jorgensen, who has move moves than Jagger, put Kamloops up just a dozen seconds in Monday night. The 66-goal man finished with 2+3, including a late goal which made it 10-9 Vernon. Ryan Sarazin buried insurance into an empty net with 16 seconds left after Jorgensen was forced to hold Sarazin on a breakaway with no goalie in the crease. Blaine Boomer blasted a shot off the crossbar behind Vernon goalie Aaron Jensen with 37 seconds remaining. The Venom were fuming when officials didn’t

rule a penalty after the Tigers had six players and the Venom seven on the floor in the late going. Darrell Landels and Sarazin each pulled the hat trick and one helper for the Tigers, who chased starter Mitch Horseman art 3:35 of the third period. Jordan Orr pocketed 2+2, while Connor Buick also supplied two goals and captain Brett Hanna produced 1+4. First star Kyle Pauwels pocketed 6+3 for Kamloops, while Riley Peterson provided 1+4. Jorgensen, Peterson and Pauwels accounted for 124 regular-season goals. “It’s nice to be up 2-0 in the series,” said Tigers’ defensive specialist Bayne Bosquet. “I thought we just came out and gave it our all and came out with the W. I just think we’re a deeper team. We use all our lines and that’s what’s working for us. “I’d love to win my way into the provincials and not just have a bye in there. It’s a battle out there and I think there’s a good rivalry between the two teams. We’ve played against most of the same kids in minor so you develop battles growing up.” Added Landels, who says both teams are chirping and playing hard: “It’s awesome to win the first two games of the series. It puts us in a really good position for our next couple of games in case we come up short in our next game. We came out and we knew what we had to do against these guys and we definitely picked it up in this series.” Jerome Thorne of the Venom was assessed a misconduct for verbal abuse with seconds remaining. The Kamloops coaching staff rudely refused The Morning Star access to player interviews. In Kamloops, Landels counted all four of his goals in the third period, and set up another. Mitchell Anderson contributed 2+2, while Bosquet bagged 1+2 and other goals came from Jay Seaton, Sarazin and call-up Steele Pelletier. The Venom got two goals from Jorgensen, 1+3 from Boomer, 1+2 from Peterson and a single from Pauwels.

The Spallumcheen Golf & Country Club team, captained by Myles Johnson, shared second spot in the Jack McLaughlin Memorial PGA of BC Pro-Junior Championship Monday at Gallagher’s Canyon. Johnson, playing with juniors Braeden Cooper, Dexter Weiten and Parker Wadsworth, carded a under17 total 127 in the two-ball event presented by PING Golf Canada. Host pro Peter Hopley’s foursome won the tournament at -23. Chris Matte, Andrew Gorges, and Peter’s son Matt Hopley were the supporting juniors. The Tower Ranch Golf & Country Club tied with Spallumcheen. Johnson fired 67, while Weiten carded 80, Cooper 81 and Wadsworth 82. The boys collected PING Moonlight golf bags and a PING I25 Fairway wood worth more than $300. “The guys ham and egged it really good,” said Johnson. “It was a best two of four net format. Dexter made three or four really clutch putts when we really needed them, Parker made some unbelievable up and downs leading to a chant of PAAAARRRRRker and Braeden finished the last five holes in 1-under gross to help bring it home.” Added Johnson: “The PGA of BC staff and Gallagher’s guys put on an awesome show. From practice facility setup, to ice cream sandwiches and fun photo shoots, it was an awesome time.” Matt Hopley, a 10 handicap, fired his best ever round of 79 to support his father’s four-under 68.

“We played well together,” said an excited Matt Hopley “It was like every time two of us had a bad hole, the other two were making eagle.” Each of the winning juniors earned a PING I25 Driver, just part of the lavish prize table presented by PING. The field included 22 teams from across B.C. Teams are encouraged to dress alike - a suggestion which has led to some wild outfits in tournament history. Bradlee Jones of Vernon Golf & CC, along with juniors Taylor Scott, Brandon Chai and Nick Cherkowski, tied for 13th, at -11 (133). This year’s best-dressed team award went to Seymour Golf & CC’s Colin Lavers, along with juniors Sean Buckles, Brendan Lee, and Carson Prokopuik. The team emulated British Open winner Rory McIlroy’s Sunday outfit – a pink and grey Nike ensemble. The award for team that traveled the furthest goes to Alberni Golf Club, where professional Brian Rands along with juniors Jeremy Robson, Nick Robson, and Carson Rhodes traveled eight hours and 560 kilometres. The tournament honours the memory of Jack McLaughlin, a pioneer and leader of junior golf in the province, who was a Canadian club professional whose career began in 1953 at Scarboro Golf & Country Club. In 1974, Jack relocated to Vancouver’s Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club where he served until he died, at age 58, in 1991. This was the 33rd year it has been contested.

Medals galore for Zone 2 Morning Star Staff

North Okanagan athletes helped Zone 2 ThompsonOkanagan produce 79 medals at the B.C. Summer Games last weekend in Nanaimo According to the Games’ website, Taryn O’Neill of Lake Country struck gold in the 2,000 run and silver in the 1,200. Mackenzie Horst of Lake Country took a silver in girls basketball. Emma Lockwood of Vernon was part of the gold-medal girls soccer team, while Julia Palfreyman of Vernon took gold in the Tier 4/5 solo synchronized swimming event. Teammate Meighan Kerr earned silver in Tier 4.5 figures. Vernon’s Alan Bargaso, Isaiah Ondrik and Zack Smith claimed silver in 3-on-3 boys basketball, while Ryan Doerges and Nick Prystupa of Vernon picked up silver medals in boys U17 beach volleyball. Landon Currie and Tilon Ward of Vernon pocketed bronze in boys indoor volleyball, while Vernon’s Kennady Wright, Rebecca Vanderdeen and Reilly Lorenson were fourth on the girls’ side. Doerges and Prystupa considered themselves underdogs going into the Games, but played their way to the finals where they lost 2-0 to Vancouver Island-Central Coast Zone 6. Prystup twisted his ankle in the first set. Reece Hawthorne of Vernon bagged a bronze medal in 10-13 years wakeskate, while Finn O’Keefe was fifth in tricks. O’Keefe, who missed a gate in the slalom, hopes to redeem himself in Abbotsford this weekend and make the upcoming Westerns in Edmonton. Mac Gourdine was fifth in golf at 152 over two rounds, while Vernon’s Maksim Chirkoff of Vernon took fourth with the boys soccer team. Leon Schenker was fifth in boys basketball. Riley MacLean of Vernon garnered bronze in GREG SAKAKI/BLACK PRESS the para swimming 50 back.

Summer Games. lacrosse, while Tova Turnbull and Candice Vuong of

Armstrong finished fourth in girls softball. Jakob Laflamme of Armstrong was fifth in rowing and Trinity Hansma sixth in the long jump. In rowing, Claire Armstrong and Aidan Oliphan were both fourth in single skills. The Okanagan baseball team, coached by Charles Law, lost 4-1 to Vancouver Island in Sunday morning’s bronzemedal game at gorgeous Serauxmen Stadium. Saturday was full of thrills and heartbreak for the Zone 2 squad as they played the top two seeds in the competition, Van Island #1 and Fraser Valley #1. In the morning game, Jay Taylor of Kelowna pitched five solid innings and the Okanagan was leading 3-1 in the sixth before the Island bats woke up and rallied to win 4-3. Needing to beat the top-ranked Fraser Valley for a berth in the gold-medal game, the Okanagan got solid starting pitching again and was clinging to a 2-1 lead into the fifth. A two-out, two-run triple by James Fischer gave them a 4-1 lead and had Fraser Valley momentarily stunned. Unfortunately, the bullpen was unable to throw strikes in the bottom of the sixth and the Fraser Valley put up a five spot to go up 6-4. Coldstream’s Keaton Mandryk is used to big starts and he got the ball for Team Okanagan’s first round-robin game, a 5-2 win over Fraser River Delta. Mandryk tossed two scoreless innings and Team Okanagan pushed across four runs in the top of the third and added another in the fifth. Joel Flood of West Kelowna was dominant in relief. Team Okanagan then disposed of Zone 8 (Prince George) 8-0 in their evening game, with three pitchers combining for the shutout. Vernon’s Colton SchaperCotter was solid all day at first base, and ignited the team’s five-run fifth with a perfectly executed sacrifice bunt that he beat out for a base hit to load the bases. Noah Law of Kelowna was spectacular at shortstop, making several highlight-reel plays to anchor the defence. Caden Doyle of Vernon was also on Zone 2.

Champness takes Tri Vernon athlete wins Peach Classic race Sunday in Penticton Black Press

PENTICTON – When it comes to races, Olympic distance champion Nathan Champness of Vernon found Sunday’s 32nd Peach Classic triathlon to be the perfect fit. Coasting across the finish line with both fists pumping, Champness finished the course in two hours, three minutes and 22 seconds, a full five minutes ahead of runner-up Justin Birks of Penticton. “The course is fantastic, it’s nice and hilly and it’s short enough that my attention span doesn’t get lost, it’s one of my favourites,” said Champness, who was second in the swim and run and first in the cycling stages. “The thing about Penticton is that they really know how to put on a race because just at the point where you think you’re going to get tired, there’s more spectators and more volunteers cheering you on; you’re never alone.” Champness also credited the cooler temperatures for his strong finish and added it was an honour to be included among the ranks of former Classic winners like Tom Evans and Jeff Symonds. “These are guys I watched growing up and I keep that in mind whenever I race this course,” he said. There was a field of 198. The win helped ease the sting of a “humbling” Subaru Vancouver Triathlon last Sunday, where despite taking home the National Long-Distance age group title, Champness took 3rd overall behind professionals Andrew Russell and Nathan Killam. Champness is tentatively planning to race in the Challenge Penticton Canada event at the end of August. Meanwhile, it was two for one at the finish line Sunday as Penticton’s Jen Annett successfully defended her Olympic distance title. Wearing bib number one and having the single digit emblazoned on her right bicep were motivating factors in her second victory in as many years. “I definitely hit a couple spots where I wanted to walk but I didn’t. I had a little bit of pressure being

Joe Radench of Grande Prairie, Alta. was third in the men’s race, less than a minute behind. Neither the men’s or women’s Olympic distance records of 1:54:25 set by Stefan Jacobsen or Carol Montgomery’s 2:04:25, both set in 1998, were in jeopardy. Bruce Schoenne of INVESTORS.ca, the title sponsor, put up a $5,000 prize to anyone that could beat the Olympic distance race record. The feel-good story of the race was Rob Smith’s win in the shorter distance sprint division. Waiting at the Lakeshore Drive finish line for him were his grandparents George and Joan Smith of Heart’s Content, Nfld. that has a population of less than 500. “It’s great to have them here and it was a real motivator, it is likely the last time they’ll see me race,” he said. The Olympic course is a 1.5-kilometre swim, 40-km bike ride and 10-km run. For the sprint it is a 750-metre swim, 20-km bike ride and fivekm run. The sprint consists of a 750-metre swim, 20-kilometre cycle and five-kilometre run.

Nathan Champness of Vernon clenches his fist crossing the finish line first Sunday at the Peach Classic Triathlon in Penticton. Justin Birks of Penticton was second.

The Do Itt Drywall Mud Sharks ambushed the shortstaffed Capri Insurance Brew Crew 7-0 in a Division 2 make-up game Sunday night at Marshall Field. Emily Hamer kept the seven-man Crew in the game with some great saves against the pressing Drywall forwards. Jenn Reedyk, Denise Macdonald and Jenn DiPasquale held their own on the back line, while Christine Kirby and Christine Beham were both strong in the middle to assist Shelinda Morin, the lonely forward. Do Itt Drywall had numerous subs but were fabulous sports and only played with 10 players to make things a little closer. In Masters play reported late from Friday night match, the Controllers grounded the Goplen Drillers 5-1 at Marshall Field #3. Early on, Michelle Wernicke crossed the ball into the penalty area and a poor clearing attempt went into the back of their Driller net. Midway through the first half, Amy Shupe went right down Main Street and blew it past the keeper to put the 7-6-2 Controllers up by two. Shawn Yargeau added a penalty kick, then Michelle Mercer’s cross found Val Percy whose one-time volley went to Shupe and she buried it for her second.

Leading 4-0 at the half, the 3-7-5 Drillers responded on a penalty kick just a few minutes in. Minutes later, Shupe with a beautiful through ball, sent Wernicke in alone. The keeper made a terrific save but Mercer buried the rebound to close the scoring. Keeper Leslie Epp earned the victory and Amy Shupe was Lady of the Match. The 10-man Okanagan Sistas drew 3-3 with the host Shuswap Merlot led by unstoppable stopper Lesley Williams. Tireless wingers Tammy Buick and Wendy Horner ran all night and enjoyed several chances. At 20 minutes, Andrea Zubot fed Diane Neudorf, who had no trouble beating two defenders and neatly placing one past the Merlot keeper. Zubot again tried to put one through a crowd to a rushing Neudorf in front, but a Merlot defender got to it first and caused an own goal. It was 3-2 Merlot at the break. Buick bagged the equalizer as she chested one in off a Zubot corner. Woman of the Match Suzyn August stepped up to play net, making many key saves as the Sistas improved to 5-8-2. TED United shaded the Chick Kickers 2-1 with Jenny Garnett scoring on a superb play involving Colline Johnson and Mel Jacobs. Jen Kemper rattled the post in the final seconds.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder NEUTRALIZE THE THREAT OF HIS LONG SUIT Charles Baudouin said, “No matter how hard you work for success, if your thought is saturated with the fear of failure, it will kill your efforts, neutralize your endeavors and make success impossible.” That can apply at the bridge table. In today’s deal, though, South has to try to neutralize the threat of East’s heart suit. South is in three no-trump and West leads the heart six. What should declarer do? South starts with seven top tricks: one spade, one heart (given the lead), four diamonds and one club. At least two more tricks are available from the club suit. But is there any danger?

If, at trick one, declarer plays low from the dummy and wins East’s nine with his king, then, when he takes the losing club finesse, West will lead his second heart and the defenders will win one club and four hearts. The result will be the same if South plays dummy’s heart 10 and takes East’s jack with his king. Instead, declarer should call for dummy’s queen. East has to take the trick with his ace; otherwise, South gets two heart tricks. But what does East do now? If he leads another heart, he gives declarer two tricks in the suit. So he shifts to the spade king. South could win that trick, but does better to duck it. Whatever happens

after that, declarer takes at least one spade, one heart, four diamonds and three clubs (and can squeeze East in the majors for an overtrick). Finally, the curious may work out how East-West can defeat three no-trump if declarer allows East to win trick one with his heart nine.

SNORING?

EaglES givE

SLEEP APNEA?

As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D. Helps to reduce the time it takes to fall a sleep. In most cases also stops snoring and gasping for air (sleep apnea) first night. Stops torturing your partner all night. Good sleep prevents being tired next day. Tired people work only at half capacity. What people truly experience: < I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS < For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a #23 NPN 80045172 substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS <It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. Lisa VanderVeLde/Morning star
