Storm forces Guides to seek shelter RICHARD ROLKE
Morning Star Staff
Mother Nature provided a night to remember for thousands of Girl Guides. With driving rain and lightning crackling in the sky Wednesday, participants at the Spirit of Adventure Rendezvous hunkered down in Enderby’s arena and curling club until the weather broke. ““It was definitely a challenge,” said Laurie Hooker, B.C. Girl Guides public relations advisor. Ensuring safety was the critical factor. “It was crowded in there but it was better to be safe, happy and dry,” said Hooker. “Spirits were still good.” While inside the rinks, the girls kept themselves entertained, whether it was an indoor picnic and or creating new badges to commemorate the storm. Guiders returned to their campsites at about 9:15 p.m. and while most were dry, others were a little soggy. “About four groups slept inside (the arena) and got themselves back together

motorists while falling branches created localized power outages. Puddles formed on some Vernon roads
but drainage flows kept up. “There were no major issues as a result of the storm,” said Shirley Koenig, the City of Vernon’s manager of operation services. Until 11 p.m. Wednesday, Vernon received 16.4 millimetres of rain at the official record station, but the amount may have varied from neighbourhood to neighbourhood. “What happened in many locations is the rain came in short periods,” said Doug Lundquist, with Environment Canada, adding that the real story was the intensity of the rain and not how much actually fell. Lundquist also points out that thunderstorms are common at this time of the year. “It’s not that unusual,” he said. The record for rainfall on July 23 is 22.1 millimetres in 1903. Environment Canada is calling for a high of 21 and a 30 per cent chance of precipitation today. Temperatures should reach 27 Saturday and 30 Sunday. “By mid next week, they would be in the mid-30s,” said Lundquist.

Storm floods downtown shop Cops catch up with suspect
Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
The storm that rolled through Vernon, dumping 23.4 millimetres of rain, proved too much for one local business to handle. April Trigg got the call at about 2 a.m. Thursday that there was some disruption at Mary Claris Hair Extensions, where she works. You’d never know it from the outside, but Trigg and her manager Samantha Edwards discovered that the roof had collapsed under the weight of the rain, spilling two inches of water throughout the store and damaging thousands of dollars worth of merchandise. “It was leaking and then the ceiling just gave way,” said Edwards, having to turn customers away as restoration crews cleaned up the mess. “It’s so sad,” said Trigg, who was busy on the phone trying to re-book customers at the Kelowna location. “I was speechless.” The store, which specializes in extensions, braiding, dreadlocks and wigs (for men and women, including medical grade fits) not only lost products and service, but will have to wait until the roof is repaired and flooring and much of the shelving is replaced. “It’s quite a big loss,” said Edwards of the company which leases its 30th Avenue location. “Thank goodness we’ve got the insurance.” She is hoping they can open their doors to customers by next week. But through it all, the staff are finding strength in the support others have shown. “There’s so much community heart, and community spirit,” said Edwards, who appreciates the calls of support and customers’ understanding.
Morning Star Staff
Vernon RCMP have arrested an individual they describe as a prolific offender. On Tuesday at about noon, officers located a suspect wanted on a number of outstanding charges in the 5400 block of 26th Street. “The suspect attempted to evade capture once again,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “This time, he rammed two private vehicles and an unmarked police van to make his escape. Damage to the three vehicles is about $5,000 and nobody was injured by his actions.” The suspect ultimately abandoned his car in the 3400 block of 30th Street. “While patrolling the area looking for him, one of our general duty officers spotted him about 15 minutes later in the area of 27th Street and 39th Avenue,” said Molendyk. “The suspect took off running again. However, he was apprehended after a short foot pursuit by our officer.” The police seized cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin and drug trafficking paraphernalia. The individual had already been wanted on three counts of possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking. David McIntosh, 22, of Vernon, has been remanded in custody and faces charges from the outstanding warrants. The RCMP are also recommending new charges stemming from Tuesday’s incident, including three more counts of possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking, two more counts of flight from police, one count of dangerous driving and one count of breach of a court order.

News Suspects sought Morning Star Staff
Police are looking for the individuals responsible for a vehicle theft and an attempted breakand-enter in Lake Country. On July 17 at 12:38 a.m., the RCMP received a report of an attempted breakand-enter at Lake Country Liquor Store on Main Street. “The front doors to the business had been smashed but it appeared that no entry had been gained,” said Const. Kris Clark. “Video surveillance showed an older model Kris Clark pickup truck make several approaches to the front of the business, causing extensive damage.” At 3:11 a.m., the Kelowna RCMP received a report of a stolen vehicle from a residence in the 500 block of Froelich Road. The 1986 Chevy pickup was similar in description to the suspect vehicle used to damage the front doors of the liquor store. The vehicle was recovered on Bulman Road in Kelowna later July 17. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Lake Country RCMP at 250-766-2288.

Harold Miller was the driver of a northbound car at about 4:40 p.m. Davies was the front-seat passenger in the car, and Violet Miller was in the rear seat. All three died at the scene. The B.C. Coroners Service and the RCMP continue to investigate the accident.

One front leg of the grizzly alone, Enderby’s Braden Kiefiuk estimates, contains 4,000 individually shaped pieces of metal. Overall, on his latest creation of a grizzly bear with a cub, Kiefiuk of Majestic Metal Art figures there’s probably between 35,000 and 40,000 metal pieces. Kiefiuk unveiled his latest creation, made in the confines of his Stanley Avenue shop with the seven-foot ceiling, Saturday morning with about 60 people gathered in his front yard. The bears are a thing of metal and artistic beauty. “The grizzly is five-feet tall at the hump, about seven-feet long and weighs about 800 pounds,” said Kiefiuk. “I have one cub with her and the cub weighs about 150 pounds.” The pair of bears were nearly a year in the making for Kiefiuk, a shop foreman at Combined Mechanical Contractors by day who spends his weekends, evenings and extra days off creating metal magic in his shop. Kiefiuk became known in 2013 for his first major creation, a 10-foot-tall metal mule deer that weighs between 800 and 1,000 pounds, is six-feet wide from nose-to-tail and which now stands permanently beside Enderby City Hall. Creating the bears took nearly a year. “I started last August,” said Kiefiuk. “I did it differently than the deer in the panelling. I actually attempted to replicate bear fur, so it was little small

pieces at time. It’s all metal, all hand-formed, and no two pieces are alike.” The bears took “way more effort” than the deer to create to the point that finishing the project was becoming agonizing for Kiefiuk. “I had to force myself out there (shop) while everyone else is enjoying the sun and I have to finish the sculpture,” he said. “It’s so tedious. That’s the hardest part. Building the bear was simple. It’s staying on track and doing it that was horribly hard with so many other distractions. “That’s why I like to work in the wintertime. I come from work, it’s hard. Nobody’s doing anything you’re missing out on.” Kiefiuk has missed out this year on some rounds of golf, but he plans to rectify that now that the bears are complete. “I’m going to rest and relax for July and August and maybe finally get some golf in,” he laughed. “I haven’t started thinking about a next project.” Two potential buyers expressed interest in purchasing the grizzly and cub before Kiefiuk’s unveiling Saturday. He was meeting with a third potential buyer over the weekend.

Kal plan drives debate Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Despite no immediate work planned, changes to boundaries in Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park are driving concern. The Ministry of Transportation has applied to B.C. Parks to change the boundary of Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park to create a 30-metre wide right of way around the existing road that runs through the park. “Currently, there is no right of way on this road,” states the ministry. “This boundary adjustment would allow the road to be maintained, and improved if necessary, by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure under its authority under the Transportation Act.” But, “there are no plans to improve the road at this time.” Public consultation on the ministry’s application is planned for later this fall. Coldstream officials question the plan. “I’m not in favour of the proposed road dedication,” said Coun. Richard Enns. “The 30-metre right of way that is proposed is excessive in my view and I think the proposed improvements will make the road less safe because it will increase traffic and the

It also provides access to the cabin colony, where Alice Klim resides. Kilm, along with other cabin residents, have been pushing for improvements to the road and the area.

Summertime is play time
W
hen I was a kid, summers were a relaxed two months of going to the beach, playing with friends, eating ice cream and drinking ice cold Coke from glass bottles. My mom was a stay-at-home mom of three so we weren’t required to sign up for scheduled programs such as day care or day camps. And in those days, kids had so much more freedom than they do today. We’d hop on our bikes and ride around the neighbourhood or we’d all gather at the Katherine Mortimer foot of our street and head to the beach a few blocks away. At the end of the day, we’d come home for dinner. In those days when we played with our friends, they weren’t called “play dates,” because they didn’t require scheduling by parents or chauffeuring to get to the friend’s house. We all lived in the same neighbourhood so we simply walked over to ask if they could play. We weren’t over-scheduled with after-school activities, so there was more time to play. All statistics point to the fact that the world is no more dangerous now than when we were kids, online dangers being the exception. Maybe it’s just that we know too much, that we are bombarded daily with reports of children in danger. I signed my daughter up for the Home Alone course recently, through the Kelowna & District Safety Council, which is designed to provide children up to 10 with the necessary skills and knowledge to be safe and responsible when home alone for short periods of time. Of course, I made it clear that although she has now taken the course, she will in fact not be left home alone. I realize the decision to leave one’s child alone for short periods of time is a very personal one. I have friends

who are much more comfortable giving their children more freedom than I am prepared to give. At seven, my mom sent me on my first grown-up errand, to the corner store to buy a jar of mayonnaise. I suspect the mayo was incidental and she was just trying to instill a sense of responsibility in me. I was so proud as I carried it home in a small paper bag. Unfortunately, I must have dawdled a little on the way home, because when I got home and presented Mom with my prize, she opened it to discover that the glass jar had broken. Oops. In Grade 4, I was sent to school with a coconut we’d brought back from Hawaii. So as to share pieces of it with classmates, I was also sent to school with an axe. Yes, an axe. I don’t recall if I was successful in cutting open the coconut, but it didn’t seem all that strange to be taking a lethal weapon to elementary school. My parents were loving, concerned parents who safely got me through childhood, but they also were not hovering over us every second of the day. My parents did a lot with us and for us, but I don’t recall either of them ever feeling the need to get down on the floor and play with us or to provide entertainment when friends came over. Instead, we were sent to play in the rec room or out in the yard, given snacks when necessary, and were pretty much left to our own devices. Although I can’t let my daughter stay home unsupervised all summer long, we have been able to take a few weeks off work here and there to give her some of that unscheduled freedom that we enjoyed as kids. With her friends, she’s had fun at the beach, played with Lego in the play room and expressed her creative side with markers and Popsicle sticks. And, while I’m not about to leave her and her friends alone, I’ve stayed out of the way to just let them get on with the job of being kids. One day, I’ll be ready to actually leave the house. That day has not come yet.
It appears that Prime Minister Stephen Harper intends to avoid testifying in the trial of suspended-senator Mike Duffy, now facing 31 criminal charges connected with his disputed expense claims. While legal experts claim it’s entirely likely that Harper will be called to testify by Duffy’s defense in response to bribery charges, a spokesman has made it clear this week that Harper feels he has no further information to add to what he has already supplied to the RCMP. This is yet another instance of Harper’s increasing disconnect with the electorate. Whatever reasons he offers, it is obvious that the desire to avoid anything that might prove embarrassing – standard equipment for politicians – has yet again trumped any attempt at transparency or respect for due process. We’ll leave it to the courts to rule whether Harper can invoke parliamentary privilege to avoid testifying, but he’s not likely to score any points with the ordinary citizen by doing so. Do any of us imagine we could avoid a subpoena to appear as a witness in a trial by claiming we had nothing useful to add? But then we’re not the prime minister – and not able to avail ourselves of his privileges, parliamentary or otherwise. Harper has persistently sought to distance himself from the actions of the Prime Minister’s Office on the Duffy file – a situation that would be laughable if it did not reveal how flawed our political system is. Cloaked in his mantle of privilege, Harper has decried the kinds of actions his appointee to the senate is accused of perpetrating, stopping just short of accusing the man himself. Yet Duffy has alleged, just as persistently, that the prime minister is not as far removed from the affair as one would have us believe. Whatever our presumptions with regard to Duffy, the accused deserves his day in court. And Canadians deserve the kind of leader who is willing to endure some personal discomfiture to testify, openly and honestly, in a court of law. Black Press

surface very slippery. Combined with having to quickly pull over to the soft shoulder of many one lane wide locations along this road, motorists are forced into attempts to avoid headon collisions with oncoming traffic. Further, while motorists react the best way they can in these blind situations, they are often at serious risk of plunging over embankments or hitting trees. If you drive this road, you will see that in many locations the width of this road is not even as wide as a logging road in the wilderness that is radio controlled with pullouts to avoid head on collisions. We witness the trauma of motorists in the winter months who come as visitors to the park for rock climbing or hiking in the park and beyond. We have watched young boys with their fathers ice climb on the water fall on Cosens Creek in December only to get trapped by the poor road conditions. Property owners use this same road in the winter months and have to carry sand to spread on the icy dangerous conditions. The dangerous conditions of win-

Erickson has dared to articulate a subject, which based on the general silence from the rankand-file voters of this province, has once more labeled the majority of the spectators as, "confused and disinterested." Unfortunately, not a new or undeserved label. In our contemporary politically correct times it is self preservation for even the MLAs to not

Park road is a safety issue
hank you for the opportunity to explain some of the safety issues with Cosens Bay Road. The public has voted Cosens Bay Road in the BCAA top 10 worst roads report for good reason. Over the past three years, my husband Wally and I have personally helped people in 12 separate accidents on the stretch of Cosens Bay Road between the park entrance and the end of the road. We have helped countless others before then. In the vicinity of the parking lot for rock climbers, there is a deep gulley and a narrow, blind corner and sharp turns. At one time, even a dump truck had to back up and maneuver to make the turn due to the narrow portion of this road. One incident we witnessed was a truck pulling a flat-bed trailer carrying an excavator. The driver of the truck had to unload the excavator and pull the truck and trailer, hanging precariously over the bank of the narrow road near a gulley back on to the road. The road is far too narrow to maneuver safely with the volume of traffic enjoying the park and there have been several close calls for serious accidents in this area before. Summer is a dangerous time on this road due to large volumes of traffic enjoying the park, a lack of gravel on the surface of the road and improper ditching of the rain and underground water sources so it stays off the road surface. We have seen many vehicles slide off the road during summer wet road conditions due to rain water on the road making the

ter leave a trap for many motorists. On one of the corners immediately west of the grasslands, we personally assisted a young couple who were home from university and innocently wanting to enjoy the park and overturned their vehicle. They had their vehicle slide out of control and head for a bank and trees. In an attempt to avoid going over the bank and hitting a tree, they swerved and the vehicle overturned. That left the two of them trying to get out of their seat belts while hanging upside down. The one-lane, icy road was now fully blocked in front of us. We assisted the couple and when the young man told us he had called his mother, we knew we had to stop her before she got to the location. My husband ran up to the grasslands in blowing snow, with only shoes on his feet and a small flashlight, to stop her before it was too late. I called the RCMP and advised them of the icy conditions and warned them to bring a four-wheel drive vehicle if they were coming. The police came part way but were not willing to drive further
express an opinion on an issue which resembles the B. C. government trying to move the issue of collective bargaining back into the pre-industrial era of history when the worker's rights depended upon the benevolence of the employer. The workers had no rights apart from those generously bequeathed upon them by their employers, there was no legal recourse for wronged employees. The employer could add or subtract whichever benefits or conditions suited their long-term strategy, but were not legally bound by any moral or otherwise existing agreements or caveats. Thanks to general public ignorance of such matters, and the government's open disrespect
on the road. They confirmed that help was coming and that we had the couple in our vehicle to keep them warm. We waited three hours while a tow truck had to find ways to winch the vehicle back on to its wheels, which involved winching to a tree to give the truck pulling traction on the narrow icy roadway. On the winding, narrow, blind corners leaving Cosens Beach area, we have seen many vehicles sliding backwards down the narrow steep hill with blind corners. They often came to a rest against trees or a snow bank. This is due to the lack of reasonable winter maintenance in this shaded, steep location where ditching and culverts are not present or are filled in with dirt. We are grandparents of four young children who visit us frequently. I am deeply concerned about their safety each time they travel on this road. My concern also extends to all families and young people who put their lives at unnecessary risks when they wish to enjoy the park or visit relatives and friends. The road through a class A park called Okanagan Mountain Park in Kelowna is two lanes wide and provides visitors a safe route to locations within the park. Take a drive and make your own comparisons of the two roads. Visitors using Cosens Bay Road deserve safety. The risks on Cosens Bay Road could be easily avoided for every ones’ loved ones by maintaining this road to basic provincial standards. Alice M. Klim
for legally negotiated conditions of labor contract negotiations, B.C. has nearly regressed, by more than 100 years. Does that qualify the Liberal government's long-term vision for this province as a Third World country? For those who do not understand this question and its long-term implications, it is time to demonstrate your citizenship and become usefully aware and involved. Hopefully, there are more then a few Stephanie Erickson's out there in the future voting population of this province so those who wish to rule and mange by obfuscation will not have long-lived political careers in the years to come.

Tattoo and O’Keefe team up Morning Star Staff
Historic O’Keefe Ranch and the Okanagan Military Tattoo Society are teaming up to make the August long weekend both memorable and affordable. Tattoo vice-president Derek Hall and ranch marketing manager Sandi LaFleche have been working on the partnership for several months. “The whole idea is to give locals and Derek Hall tourists alike an opportunity to visit two major attractions - O’Keefe Ranch and the Okanagan Military Tattoo - on the same weekend without breaking the bank,” said Hall. O’Keefe Ranch will be offering discounted tickets for admission to both the Okanagan Military Tattoo and the O’Keefe Ranch’s 22nd annual Summer Cowboy Festival. Both events take place on the August long weekend. The Okanagan Military

Tattoo will have two performances at Kal Tire Place in Vernon – Friday, Aug. 1, at 7 p.m. and a matinee on Saturday, Aug. 2 at 2 p.m. The O’Keefe Ranch Summer Cowboy Festival (Rodeo) takes place Saturday, Aug. 2 and Sunday, Aug. 3. 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. “In addition to more than 200 out-oftown performers, many of whom will be bringing friends and relatives, the Tattoo is expected to draw several thousand spectators from all around the province,” said Hall. “I can’t think of a better place to share the Vernon experience than Historic O’Keefe Ranch” The Okanagan Military Tattoo will feature more than 400 performers including the RCMP E Division Pipes and Drums, the Royal Canadian Artillery Band from Edmonton, the Calgary Stampede Band of Outriders and the RCMP Ceremonial Troop. There will also be numerous local pipers, drummers, dancers, musicians, choirs and an antique hose-reel competition by local firefighters. A special tribute to the veterans will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War.

Maybe for rail transportation, but long term rails and greenways for sure.” Eliason noted how the Larch Hills Traverse ends at the rail line in Sicamous. Council supported the motion, including Mayor Nancy Cooper, who said the Shuswap Healthy Communities Coalition will be sending a similar letter of support to the province. Both Cooper and Eliason noted the city’s letter would also be a show of support for neighbouring governments that are also looking to preserve the rail line.

Splatsin First Nation and the cities of Vernon and Armstrong met to discuss ways to preserve the rail line as a transportation corridor, potentially for recreational use. From that meeting, District of Sicamous officials volunteered to draft a resolution to the Union of B.C. Municipalities. The resolution states that UBCM should become the owner of these transportation corridors and should ask the province to institute a provincewide parcel tax, similar to that levied by the Municipal Finance Authority on property tax notices, to help in their purchase and maintenance. The rail line is currently in CP Rail’s real estate group, and work has begun to remove sections of track near Armstrong and Enderby.

“We’re political — good things the government is doing”

Accusations that the federal New Democratic Party has used parliamentary resources for partisan mass mailings has raised questions about other parties’ use of taxpayer-funded promotions. In May, the House of Commons board of internal economy ordered the NDP to repay Parliament

$36,000 for partisan mailings and a further $1.13 million to Canada Post. In turn, the NDP has asked the federal court for a review of the decision. A report from Commons board staff is quoted as saying they “were not messages from the individual members as members, but rather were prepared by and for the benefit of the NDP as a political party and to advance electoral purposes.” Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes says he sends two types of information to his constituents — a “householder,” and a “10 per
cent-er.” He said there are two reasons the NDP has been taken to task. Firstly, they used the NDP logo and, secondly, they asked for money. The householders Mayes sends out are larger documents, while the 10 per centers, which are so named as they can be sent to 10 per cent of an MP’s constituents, are 8.5 by 11 sheets. The most recent one states: “Our Conservative government is standing up for hard-working Canadian families.” Further down the page is what looks like a

small survey – the same format that was on a sampling of four other Mayes’ 10 per cent-ers. The most recent one asks: “Who’s on the right track to support Canadian families?” Below the question on one side are the names of four parties: the Greens, the Conservatives, the NDP and the Liberals, with a box to be marked beside each one. On the other side is a space for the reader to fill out their name, address, telephone number and email address. Mayes said the 10 per cent-ers are made by a Conservative support group which is paid by the party to put them out. “It gives me an indication whether people feel we’re doing the right things as government.” Mayes says he doesn’t distribute all of the 10 per cent-ers he could. “Some in my opinion are a little offensive as they have pictures of Mr. Mulcair or Mr. Trudeau. If you look at my budget from the last three years, I hardly sent out many.” He said the communication is political, nonetheless. “We’re definitely political – good things the government is doing. I’m sure the NDP says the bad things the government is doing.” Mayes admits he got in a little trouble himself a couple of years ago when he used a Conservative banner with political announcements. “The Liberals complained about it.”

Guenther new Viper captain KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
ALLEN DOUGLAS/BLACK PRESS SPORTS
Vernon Tigers’ Jordan Orr is checked by Kamloops Venom’s Brett DeFrias in Game 3 of the Junior B lacrosse playoffs Wednesday night.
Venom force Game 4 Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Source For Sports Tigers hope to win the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League on their home floor tonight. The first-place Kamloops Venom avoided elimination with a 13-11 win Wednesday night at Memorial Arena. Vernon leads the best-of-five championship series 2-1 heading into tonight’s 7:30 start. A fifth game, if required, will go Sunday, 6 p.m., in Kamloops. The powerful Venom grabbed a 6-1 first-period lead and hung on in Game
3. Riley Peterson pocketed 3+4 and Brady Jorgenson supplied 3+1 for the Venom, whose only regular-season loss came against the Cats. Peterson has a field lacrosse scholarship to the Pfeiifer University Falcons in Misenheimer, N.C. for next year. “It was a combination of things,” said Vernon head coach Myles Brumpton. “We got caught on our heels, had too many breakdowns on defence and on offence, we were only shooting from the perimeter. “They were a desperate team; they had to win that game and they came out deter-
mined. As sweet as it would have have been, we didn’t expect to sweep them. They are too good a team.” Blaine Boomer, with 2+4 and Kyle Pauwells, with 2+3, completed the Venom offence in front of Dalan Etter. Kamloops lost all-star 6-foot, 290-pound goalie Mitch Horsman for the rest of the series and possibly the August long weekend provincials here after he cut his left hand badly after punching a fire extinguisher case at Kal Tire Place following a loss Monday night.

Dependable, dedicated, dynamic and determined on defence. Just a few adjectives which best describe Riley Guenther, the new captain of the B.C. Hockey League Vernon Vipers. Forward TJ Dumonceaux and d-man Kenny Citron will serve as the alternate captains. “Our team is in great shape with this core group of leaders,” said Viper head coach/GM Jason Williamson. “They all play the game at a very high level and compete each and every day at an even higher level. I am extremely excited to be able to lean on these three throughout the season.” Riley Guenther Guenther, contacted by The Morning Star Wednesday night as he headed out to golf at McCall Lake, is stoked about the new role. “Jason talked to me quite a while ago about being part of the leadership group, but he never said I would be captain; I’m pretty excited. I’ve been an assistant captain or captain on most teams growing up. “We’re going to have pretty much an entire new team and we’re going to have a lot of young guys so I will be showing them the ropes and what it takes to win. It’s not just a sometimes job, it’s an all-thetime job. It will be our role to making the transition from Midget or Junior B easier for them.” Guenther, who turns 20 in September, joined the Vipers after playing 67 games for the Western League Prince Albert Raiders. He rang up six goals and 23 points, along with 44 penalty minutes for the Snakes. He shared the team’s Top Defenceman award with Josh Bryan. Guenther, a strong skater, also played lacrosse, hoops and volleyball growing up. The Oiler fan enjoys strumming the guitar, listening to Kenny Chesney and challenging teammates to ping pong. “I’ve always admired Dustin Brown (of Stanley Cup champion Kings). I don’t think he’s that vocal, but he wears his heart on his sleeve every shift and goes balls to the walls.” Guenther said he became more vocal as the Viper season progressed.

Beeton goes big Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Horseshoe Club’s recent 35th annual tournament drew 50 pitchers from around the province, making it one of the best attended tournaments at the club in some time. Pitchers enjoyed a continental breakfast and lunch before 40 or so went to the Halina Centre for a roast beef dinner. One of the highlights of the tournament was the performance of 96-year-old Lewis Beeton, still pitching and still winning as he placed first in the elders’ G section at the tournament. The club invites any new residents to drop down to the clubhouse and grounds at Alexis Park Drive on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 6:30 p.m. when the members pitch.

WolfPack give Oduro key spot Morning Star Staff
Vernon has proven to be a rich resource for the Kamloops-based Thompson Rivers University WolfPack in the sports of basketball and soccer. But never men’s volleyball. Until now. The WolfPack men’s volleyball team and head coach Pat Hennelly are officially welcoming Charles Oduro of W.L. Seaton Secondary to the school and CIS effective this September. Oduro is the first Vernon player recruited to play for the WolfPack. “It is really cool,” said Oduro, an outside player who plays both the left and right side. “Everyone in Vernon knows I am coming here. It is a great honour. “I haven’t been playing volleyball for too long, I started taking it seriously in Grade 10. I fell in love with the sport. I have grown so much and I want to continue playing to see how far I can go. “I love the fact in volleyball, every ball that goes into the air will be someone’s point and it is a mental game. You really have to focus to be successful.” The six-foot-four Oduro was born in Ghana. His father works with the ministry of forests, mines and resources in Vernon. “My main strengths are that I am really focused. I am adaptable and I think I have a great vertical,” he said. “My vertical helps me locate where the ball can go. It is a huge advantage.” His Vernon club team entered last month’s provincial championships ranked in sixth spot and finished fifth. “Charles is a solid prospect for the future,” said Hennelly. “He is a dynamic player and will be a great fit for our program. Oduro competed in the summer of 2013 for Team B.C.’s U17 squad. His interaction with teammates and coaches, along with a great attitude, drew Hennelly to the
soft-spoken hitter. “He has a great attitude on and off the court along with a good work ethic,” said Hennelly. “We knew we wanted to load up this year with recruits knowing we will have a significant turnover in the next two years. I think Charles will be a solid outside hitter for the WolfPack.” Oduro, who will take courses with an aspiration of earning a bachelor of business administration, majoring in finance, said his experience with Team B.C., which used TRU as a training base, pointed him towards playing for the WolfPack. So did the fact that four of his U17 teammates are joining the WolfPack. “It was a main factor (in my decision), but I think also that because everyone at the university was so welcoming when we came to try out and compete here,” said Oduro, whose coach with Team LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR B.C. in 2013 – Abbotsford’s Matt Charles Oduro of the Seaton Sonics will play CIS volKrueger – will be his CIS teammate leyball for the TRU WolfPack this fall. in 2014-15. Oduro credits Andrew White, who “I will still consider him to be my coach,” laughed Oduro. “I want coached Oduro from Grades 8 to 10 at to learn as much from him as possible Seaton, as his biggest influence. White said Oduro’s ‘breakthrough because he has seniority and is a really good player. I strive to be just as good as time’ as a volleyball player came at the 2010 B.C. Junior Boys volleyball champihim. It will be exciting.” Said Krueger: “Charles deciding to onships in Abbotsford. “Charles had just learned his mother come to TRU is great. Last summer, he was always asking for advice and looking had cancer,” said White. “He kept plugfor ways to improve his game. That’s what ging away, playing hard and found his you want in a young player. His willing- arm swing. He is definitely a very special ness to work hard along with his coach- player.” able personality will be an asset to the Oduro led his team to a fifth place finvolleyball program and culture at TRU.” ish at the provincials that year.
Demers pushes Celtics by Outlaws Morning Star Staff
The North Enderby Celtics shaded the Little Tex Outlaws 2-1 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 1 play Tuesday night at Marshall Field #2. Kira Lee of the 1-8-4 Outlaws opened the scoring near the 20th minute with a 35-yard looping, wind-aided shot past all-star Celtic keeper Charmaine Biagoni.
The 3-6-5 Celtics were able to control the play in the gusty conditions and keep Outlaw keeper Eileen Fox on her toes. Fox made several clutch stops. Shortly before half time, a Celtic was fouled in the box, allowing Samantha Adam to convert on a world-class penalty shot off the side netting. Chances went back and forth in the
second half until 75 minutes when veteran Jen Sigmueller made a charge up the centre of the park to find a streaking Madison Demers, who ever so calmly slotted the ball in the net. No score was reported from the game between the AF Blazers and Glenn Power of Salmon Arm . Glenn Power holds down first at 12-0-1. The Blazers are 5-7-2.

Ladies Rise To Occasion
A total of 86 golfers played in the Ladies of the Okanagan Charity Tournament Sunday at The Rise, raising money for the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation Mamography Unit. Leah Desisle of Kelowna, left, gives a little fist pump after sinking her putt for par on the first hole. Below, Elaine Evans of Vernon takes a moment to examine her putt on the eighth hole. Longest Putt prize went to Lhea Shilton, while KP prizes were awarded to Kristen Rawluk, Barb Culic, Evans and Corine Martens. Long drives were recorded by Darla Walsh, Susan Mackney, Kathy Bowers and Brenda Hartl. Rise head pro Lee Ranger says final totals are not in, but he expects the tournament to exceed expectations for Vernon Jubilee Hospital’s Take A Picture Campaign.
He says Dumonceaux and Citron are worthy alternates. “They are both hard-working guys in practices and games, guys who give it their all. Kenny is very serious and focused and determined all the time. TJ is a little more laid back and a guy everybody likes.” Dumonceaux, a speedy member of the big bicep brotherhood, is blessed with a canon shot and skates until he drops. The 20-year-old Kelowna product compiled seven goals, 20 points and 66 PIM last season. Citron, a 19-year-old New Yorker with a scholarship to the Colgate Raiders for 2015, is a tough stay-at-home blueliner who racked up one goal, seven points and 61 PIM. Guenther is working four days a week at the Country Hills Golf Club and will return to Vernon a week or so before camp opens Aug. 29. Vernon plays a home and home with the Salmon Arm SilverBacks Sept. 5-6 with the first game at the Shaw Centre. The Vipers have acquired the CJHL playing rights to goalie Jarrod Schamerhorn ( ‘95) from the Merritt Centennials in exchange for future considerations Meanwhile, former Viper d-man Jason Bird will skate for the Lake Superior State Lakers NCAA Division I program for the 2014-15 season. A Toronto product, Bird was acquired near the 2013-14 trade deadline by the Cents, after previously playing for Vernon and Coquitlam Express in the BCHL, and Vaughn Vipers of the OJHL. Bird garnered eight goals and 29 points in 49 games for Vernon and compiled 10 points in 20 games with the Cents. “In the short time Jason spent with our organization he made a significant impact with his maturity and leadership,” said Cents’ head coach Luke Pierce, a Vernon Viper grad. “His skating and ability to run an offence from the back end make him a very unique talent and I have all the confidence that he will have success at the Division I level.“
Bronze for Wirth Morning Star Staff
Chase Wirth of Vernon helped the Thompson Okanagan Zone 2 take a bronze medal in field lacrosse at the B.C. Summer Games last weekend in Nanaimo. Wirth’s name was missed in Wednesday’s Games’ story in The Morning Star. Meanwhile, Vernon Tiger grad Brodie MacDonald and the Langley Thunder bowed 9-3 to the visiting Maple Ridge Burrards in Western Lacrosse Association Senior A action Wednesday night at the Langley Events centre. MacDonald earned 25 saves. Maple Ridge is second at 9-7-1, while Langley is 6-10 with the playoffs approaching. The Victoria Shamrocks are in first at 13-1-2.

Quinton Harrish, Connor Buick and Darrell Landels each counted 2+1 for the second-place Tigers. Ryan Sarazin also scored twice, while Jordan Orr produced 1+3, Braden Barr bagged 1+2 and Mitchell Anderson had a single. Kamloops outshot Vernon 43-28 with Aaron Jensen taking the loss. “We came back and made a game of it,” said Brumpton. “We made a few tweaks and tightened up defensively and got inside the dots on offence.” In B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League action, former Armstrong Shamrock Brett Hawrys picked up three assists Wednesday night as the Coquitlam Adanacs lost 13-8 to the New Westminster Salmonbellies. Game 2 in the bestof-five championship series goes tonight at the Coquitlam Sports Centre. Hawrys, who was traded by the Nanaimo Timbermen late in the season, has two goals and 13 points in four playoff games.

C’s primed for playoffs
Epic punch
Morning Star Staff
The Tim Hortons Canadians warmed up for the Interior Zone Bantam AA baseball playoffs by going .500 at a Vancouver tournament last weekend. Dax Defelice smacked a pair of grand slams as the Canadians opened with a 9-3 win over the Nanaimo Pirates. It was 6-3 in the sixth when Caden Bracken singled and Nick Cherkowski and Nathan Nesbitt drew walks to set the table for Defelice. Corey Anderson started on the mound with Cherkowski taking over after 2 2/3 innings for the victory. Defelice also doubled and singled. Vernon then lost 9-3 to the Vancouver Yankees with Jarod Leroux, Nesbitt and Soucy sharing the pitching. Nesbitt and Anderson each had two hits. The Burnaby Braves outlasted the C’s 8-6 with Anderson taking the loss. Nesbitt hurled three innings and Soucy went four as the Canadians shut down the Kamloops Riverdogs 5-0. Kamloops managed three hits. Cadon Bracken, Nesbitt and Defelice all supplied two hits, while Soucy, Leroux, Zach Orchard and Noah Foufoulas each added one. The Canadians are in the Zones this weekend in Kamloops.

Monashee tops NOD Morning Star Staff
The Monashee FC shocked Eagle Homes Nation of Domination 4-1 in first-round North Okanagan Soccer League playoff action on a wet and stormy Wednesday night in Salmon Arm. NOD (9-4) opened the scoring on a flick header early in the first half. After some fancy dancing by Alberto Lopez of Monashee, he was taken down about 30 yards out. Center back Ryan Sharp stepped up and found a low hole to blast the ball through for the equalizer. Lopez was then taken down again after some great moves and once again Sharp cracked a corner, top shelf, for the lead. Things got heated after that and early in the second half, Nathan Whitling started to exploit the NOD back line and causing them lots of trouble. Creating numerous chances, Whitling fed Lopez, who put it home short side to put the game out of reach. With time running down and Whitling and Lopez constantly pushing at the tired Eagle Homes’ defence, Lopez earned a lucky bounce that trickled through the keeper’s legs to complete the scoring. NOD kept pushing but no time was left for them to make any ground. The North Enderby Timber (9-4-1) were leading Peters Tirecraft (2-12-1) 2-0 at the half before the game was cancelled due to heavy rain and lightning Wednesday night at MacDonald Park. The game will be replayed Monday, Aug. 4 (6:30 p.m.) at MacDonald.

They meet the Rutland Rockies, Riverdogs and West Kelowna Diamondbacks in round-robin. Meanwhile, the Vernon Kal Tire Pee Wee AA Canadians clipped the Port Coquitlam Cardinals 6-2 in Sunday’s final of the Burnaby Fun Tournament at Harwood Park. It was 1-1 after five innings with Carter Morris striking out five over four scoreless innings before giving the ball to Chase Batchelor. Morris finished the fourth inning with two K’s before catcher Eric Foufoulas assisted Ryan Gamage at first for the third out. Brayden Beacom singled in Batchelor for Vernon’s first run. With the game tied 1-1 in the top of the sixth, Batchelor mowed down the first batter and caught a pop fly on the mound for the second out. Morris knocked a line drive down at short and threw to Gamage at first for the third out, holding PoCo to a 2-1 lead. Batchelor singled in Landon Harison to tie the game and Morris drove a two-run double to right field before Falcon Thomas singled in two runs. Batchelor fanned two batters in the seventh before Beacom scooped up a grounder at second and tossed to Gamage for the final out. Chris McIntosh was
named Vernon’s MVP. Kal Tire rallied to stop the Kelowna Cubs 4-3 in the semis. Game MVP Batchelor homered with a runner on in the sixth inning as Vernon took the lead for good. Trailing 3-1 after a 30-minute rain delay, McIntosh homered to get the rally started. Gamage beat out a single to set the table for Batchelor. Pitching duties were shared by starter Gamage and relievers McIntosh and Morris. The Canadians outlasted the Tsawwassen A’s 10-7 Saturday night. Beacom worked 4 1/2 innings, followed by Jack Janzen and Matthew Hansen. Gamage stroked a two-run double to centre field, bringing in Harison and McIntosh. Over-the-fence-dingers in the third were recorded by MVP Nakoda Parker and Morris, while McIntosh, Gamage and Batchelor all hit RBI-doubles. In the fourth, Janzen doubled in Thomas and Parker singled in Janzen and Hansen brought home Parker. Vernon blanked the Cardinals 3-0 with Gamage earning MVP and iced the Ridge Meadows Royals 11-2 with Morris taking MVP, in other preliminary games. Morris nailed an overthe-fence two-run homer and Janzen tripled versus the Royals.
caught Dr. Lee offside numerous times. The fourth-place Longhorn enjoyed a few chances up front, with Myra McEwan making some lovely crosses into the box for Bree Pickett. In other action, the Chick Kickers grounded Seasons in the Okanagan Sistas 7-2. Michelle Johnson started things off for the second-place Chicks with a splendid blast against the wind from distance. Neudorf set up newbie Genevieve Nice for the Sistas’ equalizer in the opening half. The Chicks took over after that with three unanswered goals from Mel Jacobs, Jenny Garnet and Jenn Kemper. Neudorf then riverdanced through a few defenders and buried a sweet snipe. Newcomer Rosey Anderson added to the Chicks lead, picking up a loose ball 20 yards out and depositing a great shot to the far corner.
Jacobs completed her fourth hat trick of the season with two more late snipes. The Vernon Controllers brushed off the Shuswap Kaos 3-1 in Salmon Arm. At 10 minutes, Michelle Wernicke put a move on a defender and fooled Kaos keeper Jan Crear with a 20-yarder. Just before the half, (Lean) Lena Dean headed Wernicke’s corner down on to the foot of Felicia O’Gorman for the 2-0 tap in, giving Crear no chance. Dean took the DQ Lady of the Match. Early in the second half, Mandy Frederick’s corner found Dean in front and she buried it from close range. Keeper Mickey Templeton stopped a penalty shot, but Kaos Mandy Babakaiff stripped a defender of the ball and put it away. Versatile Leslie Epp, who went in for knee surgery Wednesday, said it was the team’s finest game of the year.
Squires shade Impact 1-0 Morning Star Staff
It was a showdown between teams used to winning Tuesday night at Marshall Field #5. The Longhorn/Gray Monk Impact, who went undefeated last season, played unbeaten Dr. Lee Dental/Squires Four Pub tough until the 70th minute, falling 1-0 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division action. After a scoreless first half, Jacquie Hansen tapped in an Irene Arrotta corner for the winner. Hansen earlier had several chances, hitting a post and drawing a hand ball in the penalty area. Arrotta skied the PK. The Impact mounted several attacks in the second half but Lisa Arrotta made several saves to earn the shutout. Boston Pizza Lady of the match Marisa Wiebe was stellar in the midfield. Stacey Cover, Lisa Boer, Suzie Andrews and Vel Beaumont

roger knox Morning Star Staff
Ground has been broken at Armstrong’s Memorial Park for some new exercise equipment. The equipment is courtesy of the city and its Age Friendly Community Advisory Committee. “This is the next step into a healthier community,” said committee chairperson Peter Rotzetter. Funding for the project, in co-operation with the city, came from grants from New Horizon for Seniors and the Union of B.C. Municipalities. Rotzetter is hoping the equipment will be installed and ready for use during the last week of July or the first part of August. Water works Council has been challenged by one of its own when it comes to water conservation. Coun. Shirley Fowler challenged her peers to sign up at www.makewaterwork.ca and pledge to become more water wise. “There was a news conference in Kelowna with the whole idea to raise awareness and education throughout the Okanagan for people to become more efficient and Shirley Fowler water wise,” said Fowler. Make Water Work is an effort of the Okanagan Basin Water Board’s Okanagan WaterWise program and local government and water utility partners to encourage outdoor water conservation during hot Okanagan summers, when most water is used. The average Canadian uses 329 litres of water each day, but in the Okanagan, the average is 675 litres when averaged out over the year. The summer average in the region climbs to almost 1,000 litres. “They’re not asking you not to grow your own vegetables and flowers and have nice lawns,” said Fowler. “They’re asking you to make priorities in your yard where you want to use water.” Anybody can sign up at www.makewaterwork. ca, and somebody who does sign up will win a grand prize draw of a $5,000 yard makeover. Councillors Kelly Rowe and Paul Britton took up Fowler on her challenged and signed on. Labyrinth considered Council is contemplating putting in a walking labyrinth, similar to the one found at Fintry Provincial Park, in Huculak Park. The idea came after a letter from Armstrong resident Pat Weninger, who recently visited the maze at Fintry. She also included some potential designs for such a labyrinth in the new park. “I’d like to give direction to staff to come up with plans and ideas to see if its feasible to install a labyrinth at Huculak Park or some other city-owned property,” said Coun. Paul Britton, whose motion was unanimously supported. Funding forthcoming The city has been notified by the province’s minister of community, sport and cultural development that it will receive a portion of the $35.1 million for small community and regional district grants. Armstrong will receive $330,000. “This year’s funds have been earmarked for public works shop office, Huculak Park construction, computer and software replacement and fire protection,” said chief administrative officer Melinda Stickney. The provincial government funds support local governments to provide services in areas with small tax bases.
Help Prevent Heart Attacks with Vitamin C and Lysine Powder W. Gifford-Jones, MD
W
hy is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack. Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.
I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent. But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies. The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day. This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors. As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine! I turned 90 this year.
Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries. Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal. I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.

The ‘glory’ of the hounds
C
lement and Henry Cornwall’s lineage could be traced as far back as Richard I in the 12th century. The Cornwalls pre-empted land on the Thompson River in 1862 and established a successful ranch and stopping house, building the core of Ashcroft Manor, which still stands to this day, in 1863. As Englishmen to the core, the brothers decided that one of their country’s most exhilarating sports should be imported into the colony of B.C. And what could be more English than riding to hounds? In 1868, they imported four foxhounds from their native Gloucestershire.
One of the four died on the long trip around the Horn, but the remaining three, Ringwood, Rapid and Daisy, formed the nucleus of the famous Cornwall hounds. The brothers’ next problem was finding foxes to chase, for foxes in the Interior are scarce indeed. Ken Mather But the Cornwalls were undeterred. In the absence of foxes, they would chase

coyotes, which were plentiful as well as larger and faster than foxes. With the problem of quarry resolved, the brothers had no problem persuading their neighbouring ranchers to join in the fun. Some even went to the expense of purchasing red coats to make the scene even more “a little bit of England.” The hunt would begin at about 10 a.m. and, if the neighbours were otherwise occupied, the party would only include Clement and Henry accompanied by their native cowboy, Harry. Often the hunt would last all day and, on one occasion, the exuberant huntsmen did not drag

themselves home until 1 a.m. the following morning. Often Harry, who had better hearing and eyesight than the brothers, would race ahead with the pack instead of staying behind to whip up the stragglers among the dogs. However, the Cornwalls were good sports and always spoke highly of him. The hunts continued well into the 1880s. The Nov. 25, 1886, Kamloops Inland Sentinel has an account of, “Gov. Cornwall’s Hounds” (Clement Cornwall was lieutenant governor of B.C. by then) and describes a series of hunts with the Cornwall pack in the Nicola Valley. With 11 men and five women, hounds and horses all hosted by William Pooley, a hunt was held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On each occasion, a coyote was scented and a merry chase took place. Happily for the coyote, the Nicola country has abundant heavy brush and rocky areas and, in each case, the coyote sought refuge in an inaccessible place. On the Monday, the entire pack of hounds disappeared into the heavy brush and was not recovered until the following day. Sadly, the imported hounds failed to thrive in the Ashcroft country and were often quite sick. Perhaps inbreeding or nutritional deficiency contributed to their bad health. A rancher from Manitoba bought them and, as Clement Cornwall wrote in his diary, “the glory of Ashcroft departed.” He followed this entry with a verse: I have lived my life, I am nearly done, But I freely admit that the best of my fun I had to horse and hound.

Getting to know: Lee Watkins ANIKO FORGO Special to The Morning Star
Ed note: Kalamalka Secondary School graduate Aniko Forgo returns with her Q&As with local artists/musicians. This week The Morning Star presents her interview with Lee Watkins, a Vernonbased photographer/videographer, who has worked with well-known musicians from the area and beyond. Q: How did you become interested in photography and videography? A: “I have been into the arts since a very young age whether I was drawing and painting, playing a musical instrument, or acting in drama class. I had never tried my hand at photography but one summer a friend of mine had a brand new digital SLR camera and after just one weekend of playing around with it, I was hooked. The following week I went out and bought my first camera and my passion grew from there. As for the video side of things, it’s been a natural progression from the photography since most cameras these days capture high quality video as well. I’ve only been doing video work for the last couple years and I continue to learn new things every day. Creating a still photo is one thing but being able to let my imagination run wild through the lens with video is something I feel I was meant to do.” Q: What is the hardest part of the job? A: “I would say the hardest part of the job is thinking outside of the box, trying to stay one step ahead and to do something different, something you haven’t seen before. It’s important in this industry, and to me, to be remembered for doing something unique and staying away from the generic photos and videos we see every day.” Q: Who are some artists that you’ve worked with? A: “I have worked with quite a few different artists and musicians throughout the Okanagan as well as from all over Canada. Some homegrown Vernon artists include SonReal, Andrew Allen, Windmills, Paperboy, and Stage.” Q: Do you find photography/videography a hard business to break into? A: “I’m still working on that myself. It is definitely tough. There is a lot of competition out there but if you can continue to push yourself and your craft and stand out among the rest, you’ll find your spot.” Q: Do you remember doing your first

Photographer/videographer Lee Watkins has been shooting music videos and stills for a number of well-known musicians, including SonReal, Stage, Andrew Allen, Windmills and others. shoot? What was it like the first time? A: “I don’t remember my first shoot with a particular person or client but for about two years I carried my camera everywhere with me and most of my close friends became subjects for thousands of photos, whether they wanted to be or not.” Q: Did you take any courses or go to school for photography? A: “I graduated from the digital photography program at the Centre for Arts and Technology in Kelowna in 2011. It was an amazing program and their focus on the business side of photography was incredibly beneficial. Q: What has been the most fun music video you’ve shot? A: “I would say my favourite project to date would be a music video I did for local hip-hop artist Stage for his song Zone of the Enders. We had a group of 11 girls paint skulls over their faces and had them go nuts for a party scene throughout the video. The video has a darker feel but was a lot of fun to film with this group of people.” Q: If you could work alongside one other photographer/videographer, who would it be?
A: “Toronto-based photographer Matt Barnes. The guy is a genius when it comes to his craft. I’ve been following him since I started and I am continually inspired by his work with commercial and promotional photography. Q: “What advice would you give to an aspiring photographer/videographer? A: “Work as hard as you possibly can and push yourself every day. If you’re passionate and love what you do you’ll find a way to make it into a successful career. Never settle, always continue to learn new things and perfect your craft. You’re only as good as your last project, so make sure that everything you create is the best it possibly can be. Also, continually try to think outside the box, do something different and stand out among the crowd so that you won’t be forgotten.” Q: Do you offer photography and videography services to the public? Where can people inquire about a service? A: “Yes, whether it is photo or video related work, I’ll take on just about any job or project that comes my way. Anyone can contact me through my website at www. LMWphotos.com.
A Montreal-based poet has been named the winner of Kalamalka Press’ third annual chapbook award named after Vernon poet/author John Lent. Nicholas Papaxanthos’ Wearing Your Pants was selected from more than 50 manuscripts for the John Lent Poetry Prose Award. “(It’s) such a thrill that the judges enjoyed my poetry,” said Papaxanthox, who also lauded the award’s previous winners and namesake. “I couldn’t have hoped for better company.” “We received the most submissions ever for this year’s award, which is a great sign that news of the award is viraling across the country, but it was also dang tough to narrow down so many supercharged contenders,” added Kevin McPherson, managing Nicholas editor of Kalamalka Press, which is housed in the Vernon Papaxanthos campus at Okanagan College. Judges for this year’s award once again included McPherson, fellow Okanagan College English professor Jake Kennedy, and Vernon poet/author Laisha Rosnau, who just finished touring the country with her latest poetry collection, Pluck. “It’s a ludicrous honour to be able to consider so many beauty-filled poems and deliberate with such admirable peers. The winning manuscript is also such a playful, surreal wonder. It puts a lot of joy in my chest thumper,” said Kennedy. The judges chose two additional standout manuscripts as honourable mentions: Sarah Burgoyne’s Saint Friend, and Alessandro Porco’s Biceps the Size of Tort Law in Singapore: The Minutes (XXV-XXX). Papaxanthos has one chapbook published with Proper Tales Press and his writing appears in numerous anthologies and journals, including Lake Effect 5, This Magazine, and Lemon Hound. With his win of the John Lent Poetry Prose Award, Papaxanthos will receive an honorarium of $500. His work will also be printed as a letterpress chapbook designed by Okanagan College English professor and award-winning bookmaker Jason Dewinetz. It will be made by students in Okanagan College’s writing and publishing diploma program in the spring of 2015. A handful of copies of last year’s winner, Nikki Sheppy’s Grrrrlhood: a ludic suite, as well as Okanagan College’s 3-Hour Short Story winner, Mary Bevan’s The Use in Usefulness, are still available for purchase through the press’s website, kalamalkapress.com.

More anarchy in the U.S.A. The Purge: Anarchy
I
n America, in the near future, an annual 24-hour lawless free-for-all known as The Purge has crime down, productivity up and balance restored to a country on the brink of self destruction. Even the richest one per cent can Taylor and Howe get in on the action by having the desperate and poor do their dirty work for them. But there grows a grassroots faction of malcontents, quickly unavoidable, to expose the truth of The Purge and turn the tables on those in control. We say, “Stay safe, citizens.” HOWE: It’s not very often that I say this but The Purge: Anarchy is a far better movie than its predecessor. When I knew this was coming out a few months back, I watched the first one online, most of it on fast forward. This one I enjoyed a lot more. It felt like we had been thrown back to the ‘80s, a cross between The Warriors and Escape from New York, if you will. TAYLOR: I didn’t see the first, not that it really matters. The silly premise of the film merely sets up the world in which the hunting may take place. That’s all The Purge: Anarchy is: “the most dangerous game.” It makes no apologies. It pulls no punches. It’s kind of pointless, but at the same time,
Reel Reviews
A masked purger gives a friendly wave in The Purge: Anarchy. so much of modernity seems pointless sometimes. On a grander scale, humans run around and kill each other for rather silly reasons and to fruitless result. Governments do manufacture strange philosophies to which we subscribe. Still, there’s not much going on in this film, short of hiding and killing. Yes, it’s somewhat political and certainly a bit of a comment on America (again.) The one thing that shines in the film is its style. It’s well directed and due to it’s borderline horror film cinematography, it contains imagery that impresses and lingers. HOWE: The acting is fine in this, even though there are no big stars in it. There’s lots of action, mostly running around trying not to get shot or some-
thing worse. In the first film, it was mostly to do with surviving the night in your own home. This time you have gangs trying to capture unlucky victims and then sell them to the rich for their purge pleasure. And if that’s not hard enough, they also have to dodge the government from culling off the not-so wealthy. TAYLOR: I think you’ve stumbled onto the deeper meaning of The Purge, it makes the other 364 days a binge, but only if enough die. “Blessed be America, a nation reborn.” – Howe gives The Purge: Anarchy 3.5 night-vision glasses out of 5. – Taylor gives it 3 moments of bad acting out of 5. The film is currently playing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Clapton wasn’t alone. Many of his contemporaries (Neil Young, The Allman Brothers, Bob Dylan Lynyrd Skynyrd, Johnny Cash,
Street SoundS
etc.) found inspiration in Cale’s straight-up approach and easy flowing songs. The attraction of Cale’s music is its earthiness and laid-back simplicity. For musicians, that’s an ideal vehicle for expression, for listeners and fans, the emotion and message is easy to connect to. A year after Cale’s death, Clapton assembled some musicians sympathetic to Cale’s vibe who give his songs appropriate treatment (slinky grooves, smoky vocals and hazy guitars.) Cale, like many early bluesmen, sang about the rambling life and the music reflects that restless spirit and dusty ambiance. Although the Oklahoma musician supplied Clapton with some big hits (After Midnight, Cocaine), the songs on the The Breeze aren’t obvious choices. The musicians are definitely

kindred Cale spirits (Tom Petty, Mark Knopfler, Willie Nelson, John Mayer, Don White and Derek Trucks) and they lay it down with a low lit, swampy aesthetic, illuminating all the Cajun cool in Cale’s sound. Like CCR, he’s associated with the backwoods South and also like them, he’s not actually from there. Standout songs are the two Knopfler performances, the melancholic Somebody and the incessantly funky Train to Nowhere, and Sensitive Kind, a Don White track that wails hauntingly. In such stellar company these songs are remarkable for the deep emotional reading that they’re given. The music reflects the album title. It’s unhurried and relaxed but it’s warm with the weight of the highways and desert distances of Cale’s experiences as interpreted by his posse.

Lorna Rosnau (left), Barry Schick, Irene Hirschmiller, Cliff Myrfield and Margaret Cebuliak are all Stephen Ministers at St. John’s Lutheran Church.
Stephen Ministers are ready to help Editor’s note: The following is from Stephen Ministry. If you are struggling with changes or challenges in your life, and need an empathic person to talk to who will listen and walk with you through this time, you might wish to contact the Stephen Ministry volunteers in Vernon. These volunteers have been carefully trained, are committed to confidentiality, and have set aside the time to help others in need because they really care about the people in our community. If you yourself do not need this service, but have a friend who you believe might benefit from the help, you are welcome to make a referral, with the decision to accept the service entirely resting with your friend. The service is free. The Stephen Ministry originated in St. Louis in 1975 when Dr. Kenneth Haugk, a pastor and clinical psychologist, saw a need in his congregation for more help than he could provide on his own. He appealed to his congregation and
chose nine members to become Stephen Ministers. He trained them to become the ear to listen and the shoulder to lean on for those who were feeling overwhelmed by events in their life. The program grew to include other churches which adopted the tenets of this ministry, and was so successful that it soon grew well beyond Haugk’s own congregation. Now more than 10,000 churches of many denominations throughout North America are enrolled and serve more than a million persons. The training of Stephen Leaders and Ministers is an ongoing process. Contact with a Stephen Minister might last anywhere from six weeks to a year or more, depending on the need and may, or may not, involve Christian spiritual care, depending on the care receiver’s wish which is always respected. Only women are assigned to help other women, and men to help men. This program is designed for adults over 19 years of age. Some reasons for appealing to Stephen Ministry might include loss of a loved one,
loss of a job, divorce, cancer, hospitalization, post partum blues, moving to a new community, anxiety over starting a new job, to name a few. Although the Stephen Ministry team is associated with St. John’s Lutheran Church in Vernon, the organization is multi-denominational. Stephen Ministry does not include transportation to appointments or shopping, child care or nursing care. Stephen Ministers are not professional counselors, nor are they trained to undertake care for medical or psychological problems. They are volunteers who are trained and prepared to listen to your story and support you through a time when you need to talk to someone about what’s happening in your life, and if possible to help you work through your problem. St. John’s Lutheran Church in Vernon has a team of trained Stephen Ministers prepared to serve. Contact may be made by calling the church at 250-549-2244. For further information, see www.stjohnsvernon.com and follow the links.

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced. “The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.” Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.
“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.” Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home. The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

God Manifestation. Men were not ushered in for the purpose of being saved or lost. God manifestation, not human salvation, was the grand purpose of the Eternal Spirit. The salvation of a multitude is incidental to the salvation, but it was not the end proposed. The Eternal Spirit intended to enthrone himself of earth, and in doing so to develop a divine family from among men, everyone of whom shall be Spirit because born of the Spirit; and that family shall be large enough to fill the earth, when perfected.

T
he Vernon & District Animal Care Society is looking for forever families for a number of cats and kittens and will hold a cat adoption event Sunday, July 27 at Paws & Claws, 5601 Anderson Way, from noon to 4 p.m. Most of the cats are black or black and white, as well as two 11-year-old white cats, a brother and sister who are both deaf. Katie (right) is a five-year-old spayed female who is shy so would do better in a quiet home with no small children. “She will need some time to get to know her new home,” said Laurie Johnson, adoption coordinator with the VDACS. During the event, the society will have a one-time special adoption fee of $75, which includes spaying/ neutering, vaccinations and vet check. Fee for kittens is $100 and includes spay/neuter certificate and a tattoo.For more information, see www.vernonanimalcare.com or find them on Facebook Call 250-545-3173, see vernonpublicartgallery. com or e-mail info@vernonpublicartgallery.com family fun zone: enderby arts festival This year’s festival will be bigger and better than ever with the addition of a Family Fun Zone in Belvidere Park.

“What many people might not realize is the basis of the Durango was developed by Mercedes-Benz for its GL-Class vehicle and Dodge in turn took that same platform and made it into the Durango.”

Trucking in style through the big wide open
‘‘
’’
the 5.7L Hemi V8 with 360hp, moving all that power to four wheels through an 8-speed automatic. City fuel economy can be frightening but I was surprised at how good this truck is, even when taking advantage of the new 120 km/h speed limit on the Coquihalla highway. The Durango put in a solid 11.8 L/100km, with more than 900 km driven. Keep in mind I didn’t soft foot my way to or from Kelowna. I did notice that the fuel economy improved vastly the closer I stayed to 100 km/h. The handling is a bit top-heavy in the corners, especially at higher speeds, but after some initial body roll, the Durango is very stable. One notable feature is the automatic fantastic adaptive cruise control, making the ride very enjoyable. Verdict If you drive in the city, the base 3.6L V6 engine might be a better choice based on fuel consumption but, if you drive a lot on the highway or tow a boat (3,265 kg towing capacity), the
Hemi is the right choice. Power was always there to pass and pull up a hill and the fuel economy can be good if the driver watches their speed. The V8 has the ability to switch off four of the eight cylinders when the truck is under light load and accessing this as often as possible makes a big difference. Another thing to consider is price: the Durango is not inexpensive, starting at $39,995 for the V6 and running up to $52,495 for the top Citadel V8. My family loved spending time in the Durango, we all had a lot of space and the trip was effortless. Our next adventure is to Portland, Oregon in the Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel. I can’t wait to see how that new truck compares. The Lowdown Power: 3.6L V6 with 290hp or 5.7L V8 with 360hp Fill-up: 15.6L/9.1L/100km (city/highway V8) Sticker price: $39,995-$52,495

Top down driving the dream in sunny California Bob McHugh
Los Angeles, Ca. – The Nissan 370Z (Zee or Zed) oozes youthful energy with its edgy design and wholehearted performance. Add warm California air to enhance the open sports car driving experience and roll back a few years, at least temporarily. My two days in Los Angeles were spent mainly in and around Pasadena, a short freeway drive (16 km.) northeast of the downtown core. There are no beaches, no piers, no theme parks, no giant roller coasters and no kids ... ok, just a few little darlings. It does have beautifully preserved historic buildings, magnificent gardens, art galleries, museums and a vibrant “old town” district with theatres, bars and many great restaurants. This “Z” was designed by a Canadian. A talented young man called Randy Rodriguez from Surrey, BC who works at Nissan’s US design centre in California. That magic moment of divine inspiration for the Z’s fluid styling lines apparently came while he was watching “shark week” on the Discovery Channel. He also has cleverly incorporated some subtle styling references to the original 240Z, a classic sports car. The Z’s one-touch, auto-latching convertible top can open or close in about 20 seconds and comes with a glass rear window and an integrated electric rear window defroster. Quick Specs It also comes with a fabric 2014 Nissan 370Z inner liner and a hinged metal Roadster body-colour tonneau cover Trim levels: Touring M6 & that gives a top-down 370Z a Touring A7 classy finished look. Price (Canada): $47,478 This Z has a lighter and more rigid body structure than & $55,008 its predecessor and a more Power: 3.7-litre V6, powerful 332-horsepower 332-horsepower 3.7-litre DOHC V6 engine. Transmission: 6-speed There’s a lovely “growl” from manual & 7-speed automatic its dual exhaust pipes when Fuel consumption: you prod the gas pedal, and 11.6/8.0 L/100lm (city/ drive goes to the rear wheels highway) via a viscous-type limited slip differential. A noteworthy high-tech engine enhancement is its Variable Valve Event and Lift Control (VVEL) system, which adds extra power, yet improves fuel efficiency and provides cleaner exhaust emissions. Wandering on less travelled roads towards the towering San Gabriel Mountains, which create a picturesque backdrop to Pasadena, was an opportunity to play with the Z’s delightful rev-matching 7-speed automatic transmission. A 6-speed manual transmission can also be fitted (via a sport package) and it comes with a downshift rev-matching feature, a “world first” for Nissan engineering. It’s a snug driver cockpit that offers limited storage (although there is some extra space behind the seats), a single cup-holder centre console and a pull-up style park brake. I used all the rear travel provided on the driver’s seat and had the seat cushion set to its lowest position – a 6ft- plus tall driver is likely to have space issues. Getting in or out of the low-slung Z wasn’t as painful an exercise as I feared it might be, but if you suffer from back or joint ailments a taller vehicle would definitely be a better choice. The hip point for the driver’s seat is very low and you sit with legs extended forward, viewing the road ahead over what suddenly seems like a much longer hood. Its short windshield and surrounding glass give Z a chopped racy appearance and the moulded design of the tonneau cover enhances its classic “double cockpit” roadster styling. Vertical door handles have become a signature feature of modern Z cars. Auxiliary turn signal lights, on the front fenders, also hail from older generations of Z. An exceptionally good power-to-weight ratio allows an under-six second 0 to 100 km/hour acceleration time and puts this Z into elite sports car territory. Yet, when you consider its comparatively good fuel economy numbers and sane pricing, it’s still one of the smarter “expensive plaything” purchases. In Canada, the Roadster is offered in a Touring trim with both 6-speed manual and 7-speed automatic transmissions. Touring automatic comes with both Sport and Navigation packages in Canada, but these packages are optional in the US. There’s also a basic (non-Touring) edition of the 370Z Roadster that sells for $41,470, south of the border. Not too long ago, high-performance cars guzzled fuel,
belched smog and were a workout to drive. Not so now, sports cars like the Nissan 370Z Roadster are surprisingly fuel-efficient, and environmentally friendly. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca Quick Specs – 2014 Nissan 370Z Roadster: Trim levels: Touring M6 & Touring A7 Price (Canada): $47,478 & $55,008 Power: 3.7-litre V6, 332-horsepower Transmission: 6-speed manual & 7-speed automatic Fuel consumption: 11.6/8.0 L/100 km (city/highway)

The latter of the two engines is what powered me around “The Rock” – not to be confused with Dwayne Johnson, the actor and former WWE star – but Newfoundland. With only a couple of days to figure out some adventures, time would be tight, but I’d enjoy each minute of it. Complete with a high-torque Lineartronic CVT, I had the option to up and downshift through the Outback’s simulated gears, in case I needed to pass cars en route to my various adventures. First: sea kayaking in Cape Broyle. Though the drive from downtown St. John’s is only about 66 kilometres, I’ve learned that giving yourself a little extra time when going anywhere is a good idea. continued from page B14
www.vernonmorningstar.com
Outback stands up to challenges on the Rock Let’s just say the city wasn’t built on a grid so it’s not always a straight shot getting out. And even though you’re on roadways, they’re not highways. Furthermore, not everyone was on such a tight time budget as I was! That said, when I was happily soaking in the surroundings, I did so in peace and quiet. It’s amazing how serene the cabin remains even at highway speeds, with the wind blowing furiously. Furthermore, the Outback has incredible off road capabilities, in case I needed to get to some hard to reach spots. With a ground clearance of 220mm – like the Forester and XV Crosstrek – it can tackle the trails without even breaking a sweat. Thanks to the X-Mode feature, it allows for even more traction in high-slip environments. This all-wheel drive vehicle is just as

happy being on the road as it is playing in the puddles, mud or climbing rocks. Another adventure that wasn’t as physically demanding took me to Ferryland. Established in 1621, this community south of St. John’s rests quaintly on the coast. While many clusters of homes do too, this one is particularly magical. After parking, it’s about a one-kilometre walk until you reach a lighthouse. Not just any lighthouse, but one that serves picnic lunches so you and your loved ones can enjoy a meal while sitting on blankets, partaking of a sandwich prepared on freshly-baked bread, sipping homemade lemonade and breathing in the natural beauty of the open ocean. Onto a higher paced adventure - sort of - was a stop in Brigus.

One particular bridge was on my mind. The one that competitors in the Targa Newfoundland race fly over. The sign says 10 km/h. That’s not the case when drivers are blasting through the tiny waterfront community. But I wanted to be a part of the fun, even if I was at a complete standstill on the crossing. A trip to Newfoundland wouldn’t be complete without at trip to Cape Spear; Canada’s easternmost point. Looking out into the Atlantic, another iceberg lazily floats by as the humpback whales are out and breathing. A cool ocean breeze blows the salty air around. I could get used to this, along with the companionship of the 2015 Subaru Outback. The 2015 Subaru Outback has a starting MSRP of $27,995. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder HOW DO YOU GET ALL OF YOUR TRICKS? Zig Ziglar, a writer, salesman and motivational speaker who died in 2012, said, “You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.” To succeed in a bridge deal may require taking a winner at the right moment. A trick too soon or too late may prove fatal. In today’s deal, South is in four spades. West leads the club queen. What should declarer do? In the auction, South probably should have rebid three no-trump. With eight winners, he needed partner to provide only one more trick, or for the opening lead to be a low heart away from
the ace. Declarer apparently has these 10 tricks: six spades, one heart, two diamonds and one club. However, to get that heart trick, South has to lead his king to drive out the ace, then get to the dummy to cash the queen. And apparently the only dummy entry, the club ace, has been removed by West’s opening lead. Well, if a heart trick is impossible, maybe South’s 10th trick can be a club ruff in dummy. Some players would take the first trick and return a club, but the defender who won that trick would surely shift to a trump to stop declarer’s club ruff. Instead, suppose West is allowed to take trick one. What will he do next?
If he leads a trump, South wins, draws trumps, and leads the heart king to establish dummy’s queen, with the club ace still on the board. If West continues clubs, then declarer can ruff a club on the board for the required extra winner. Perfect!
