Flames engulf Pottery Road barn RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Sherry Hudson shakes when she considers the tragedy she narrowly escaped. Hudson was sleeping in a travel trailer when fire erupted in an adjacent barn in the 1000 block of Pottery Road Thursday at about 4:30 a.m. “I woke up and it was almost like daylight in the trailer because of the flames. I could hear popping noises,” she said. Opening the door of the trailer, Hudson saw flames consuming everything in sight, including a barbecue, hay, equipment and vehicles. With the trailer on fire, there was no time for Hudson to rescue personal effects, and particularly legal papers for a property she just purchased. “I just grabbed my dogs and ran,” she said. “The barn was red hot and I could feel the heat. I ran through the garden

“I saw the blaze on the reflection on the wall,” he said. “There was total red and crackling. It was so engulfed I couldn’t even grab my son’s motorcycle.” In the barn was Wallas’ Bronco
and tools. Firefighters experienced a number of challenges. “It was tough to get at. The fire was at the rear of the property and we had to get in from adjoining properties,” said Jack Blair, Vernon deputy fire chief, adding that burning power lines also impacted access. The primary focus was to keep the fire from spreading to the north to a shed and the house. “We wanted to confine the fire to the area of origin and hold it there,” said Blair. Heavy equipment was needed to pull the hay apart. “We’ll be doing a fire watch with the straw for awhile to make sure there are no smoking embers,” said Blair. The cause of the fire is not known and is not being described as suspicious at this time. “It’s being investigated and we’re looking at all avenues,” said Blair.
A rural Lumby man has been located after he went missing in mid-June. RCMP divers entered the Shuswap River Thursday, near the dam on Mabel Lake Road, and discovered a 1994 Ford truck that plunged into the water June 14. “The driver was still inside the truck,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. The search was on hold until now because of high water levels on the river. B.C. Hydro, which operates the dam, helped divers by drawing down the river so they could initiate the search. According to Molendyk, finding the motorist has been a priority so the family can be provided with some closure. “The family has been notified of the truck being located and the case has been turned over to the coroner’s office,” he said. Any other details, such as the identity of the individual, will be released by the coroner. It was expected the RCMP divers would be on scene today but the officers’ schedule evolved. “The availability of the team was Thursday,” said Molendyk.

Highway 97 crash sends four to hospital richard rolke Morning Star Staff
A head-on collision sent four people to hospital and impacted the morning commute Thursday. At about 6:15 a.m., a northbound SUV jumped over the median and struck a pickup truck pulling a holiday trailer at Highway 97 and Kalamalka Lakeview Drive, by the welcome to Greater Vernon sign. “We transported four patients to Vernon Jubilee Hospital — two males and two females,” said Shane Code, a superintendent with the B.C. Ambulance Service. “All were stable.” The 21-year-old Vernon man driving the SUV possibly sustained injuries to his legs and abdomen while the 54-year-old Calgary man driving the pickup truck may have received head and neck injuries. The other two occupants of the truck, a 51-year-old woman and a 14-year-old girl, both from Calgary, complained of whiplash but have been released from VJH. “They are non-life threatening injuries but that doesn’t mean they aren’t serious,” said Gord Molendyk, Vernon RCMP spokesperson. The SUV came to rest on the shoulder of the southbound lanes while the trailer was on its side in a ditch. “We used Jaws of Life to get them out in both vehicles,” said

Jack Blair, a deputy chief with the Vernon Fire Department. As a result of the accident, both southbound lanes had to be closed, resulting in a long line of vehicles heading between Vernon and Lake Country. Traffic was first rerouted into one of the northbound lanes until the highway was fully reopened. Along with the police, the Ministry of Transportation helped provide traffic control. The investigation into the accident continues.
Missing Coldstream man focus of search Morning Star Staff
Investigators are searching for a missing man who reportedly jumped into Revelstoke Lake and never resurfaced. On Wednesday at 7:33 p.m., the B.C. Ambulance Service and the Revelstoke RCMP responded to a report of a missing swimmer. “The 28-year-old male from Coldstream apparently jumped off the Laforme Creek bridge into the lake and never resurfaced,” said Staff-Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky, officer in charge of the Revelstoke RCMP.
“The RCMP vessel is in the area searching the water.” — Kurt Grabinsky
The Laforme Creek Bridge, which is 20 kilometres north of the Revelstoke Dam on Highway 23, is about 80 feet above the water which is about 50 feet deep at that location. “Revelstoke RCMP, with assistance from
Revelstoke Search and Rescue, immediately commenced a search of the area for any signs of the man which included the use of an RCMP vessel,” said Grabinsky. At 9:45 p.m. Wednesday, the police search was suspended due to darkness but it continued Thursday morning. “The RCMP helicopter flew this (Thursday) morning with no success,” said Grabinsky. “The RCMP vessel is in the area searching the water and the shoreline. The dive team is suspected to arrive later.”

Ken Downes is joined by his daughter Carla Rutz, a former Calgary Stampede Stetson Band member, grandkids Carter and Eva and wife Sandra Downs as they watch the Band of Outriders perform in front of Kal Tire head office in Vernon Thursday.
It will be an unforgettable experience for all those in the audience, as well as those taking part. Vernon is about to host the biggest music, marching, dancing, singing extravaganza to ever hit town, as the Okanagan Military Tattoo marches into Kal Tire Place tonight and Saturday. The public is obviously excited for the experience as tickets sales are going well. “We’re going to be close to sold out,” said Norm Crerar, Okanagan Military Tattoo Society president. It’s not just Vernon that is excited, people are coming from all over to take in the inaugural event. “We’ve had people from Kelowna call today asking for directions to Kal Tire Place,” said Jane Weixl, receptionist of Kal Tire headquarters. Staff at Kal Tire were treated to a sneak preview of the show Thursday at their office as the Calgary Stampede Band of Outriders came to entertain them. “They’re the best ever,” said Ken Downes, regional sales manager of the Kal Tire Mining Tire Group.
Downes has seen the different Stampeder bands hundreds of times as his daughter, Carla Rutz, is a former Stetson band member (a different level). Rutz came out with her own children to cheer on the band Thursday at Kal Tire. “I was friends with a few people who are in the Outriders now,” said Rutz, who had her children up dancing and clapping along to the music. The band members are equally excited to be a part of the Tattoo. “The last Tattoo the Outriders were at was in Germany in 1996,” said music director Scott Willoughby. It’s also the first time the band has been to Vernon, and many members took up opportunities to hit the local links and explore the area. Along with the Outriders, the Okanagan Military Tattoo includes hundreds of dancers, drummers, piper and singers of all ages and heritages on a single stage, which has been transformed into a giant castle, complete with a moat.

Pinnacle Renewable Energy is expected to respond to all public concerns over a proposed wood pellet plant in Lavington. The application is currently being reviewed by the Ministry of Environment, which must give its approval before the plant can proceed. Many Lavington residents have concerns about increased train traffic, dust, noise and emissions from the plant. “The applicant is expected to respond to comments received from anyone who expresses concerns regarding their application,” said Matthew Lamb-Yorski, environmental protection officer with the ministry. “The applicants response to public concerns is an important part of the ministry’s review of the application.” The public has until Saturday to send its comments into the ministry, which as of Tuesday had received eight e-mails from the pubic. “During this step of the process the public is encouraged to forward their concerns and questions to Pinnacle Renewable Energy,” said LambYorski. Those e-mails and all application package details will be taken into consideration during the adjudication of the permit request.

Proposed Trap and Skeet Shooting Facility The Regional Board believes it’s premature to support a referral application from Front Counter BC for a proposal to develop a trap and skeet shooting facility on Crown Land in the upper Trepanier area. The Central Okanagan Shotgun Sports Club has asked the Provincial agency to approve a 30-year License of Occupation for its plans to develop the facility on a 23.22-hectare parcel of vacant Crown Land. The Regional Board recommends that Front Counter BC not approve the application until such time as a rezoning application for the Crown Land parcel is approved by the Regional District. Temporary Use Permit for Medical Marijuana The Regional Board has given conditional approval for a Temporary Use Permit for a medical marijuana production facility proposed for Paradise Valley Drive. The proponent has applied for a Federal license to produce medical marijuana from a building that’s being retrofitted on a 4-hectare parcel in the Trepanier area. The property owner is requesting the Permit while seeking a subdivision consolidation with two adjacent properties in order to meet the 8-hectare minimum parcel size required by the Regional District for medical marijuana production. To receive the Permit the applicant must meet a number of conditions including completion of and adherence to recommendations of a Wildfire Risk Assessment Report; addressing how it will impact water in the area and receipt of a license by Health Canada.

“If required, the applicant may be asked to provide additional information regarding outstanding issues that arose during the public notification period,” said Lamb-Yorski. Coldstream must also give third and final approval of zoning changes to the subject property, which is across the railway tracks from the existing Tolko planer mill, off of School Road. A petition of upwards of 300 signatures opposed to the plant will be presented at the District of Coldstream committee of the whole meeting Aug. 5 at 6 p.m. where the Ministry of Environment is expected to be in attendance. A public hearing on the rezoning of the property will also take place Aug. 11 at 6 p.m. Any written submissions must be received by Thursday. While there has been outspoken opposition to the plant, there are also a number of people who are quietly supporting the plant, which will bring 20 full-time jobs to the area. “People always say we have no industry. Well here is a chance for more jobs that are needed in the town,” said one local supporter in response to The Morning Star’s latest article. Another person who did not want their name used said, “With mill shutdowns and other businesses/employers closing the doors, don’t you think it’s time we take advantage of an opening door? The greater good of this area is at stake, and when a select few make so much noise to reject what in the long term is a little noise, we slam doors of opportunity before they are even cracked open a sliver.” But opponents are highly concerned about the negative health impacts of having this type of industry so close to Lavington Elementary. “Although noise and traffic concerns are part of this process, they are the least of our worries at this point,” said Stephanie Hoffman, who has been rallying opposition to the plant. “It has everything to do with air quality and maintaining a healthy well being within the community. “It all has to do with the cumulative effect on the environment and the risk to the people and we have a real problem with the fact that the Ministry of Environment has not done an air quality analysis for the proposed site, their entire study is based on predictions from Vernon and Coldstream Ranch.” Pinnacle could not be reached for comment.

Ban in place for long weekend richard rolke
“Anything that can produce a spark can start a wildfire.”
Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan residents are reminded that campfires remain banned this holiday weekend. The B.C. Day long weekend is a time when many people head out camping or go to the lake, but a two-weekold campfire prohibition continues. “We want to limit the number of human caused fires,” said Melissa Welsh, with the provincial Kamloops Fire Centre. The goal is to direct firefighting resources towards those blazes that can’t be prevented, and specifically those caused by lightning. “In July and August, we see more lighting and especially dry lightning,” said Welsh. While some residents have questioned the ban given a recent rainstorm, Welsh insists there is a need
— Melissa Welsh
for the rules to stay in force. “The rain didn’t allow the moisture to go below the dust level. Everything underground is still very dry,” she said of the soil. “We’ve also bounced back into high temperatures.” The ban applies to open fires of any size, fires with a burn registration number, industrial burning, fireworks, tiki torches and burning barrels. The prohibition does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes. Under provincial rules, anyone violating an open fire ban
may be issued a ticket for up to $345. Anyone who causes a wildfire through arson or recklessness, may be fined up to $1 million, spend
up to three years in prison and be accountable for associated firefighting costs. Beyond campfires, there is a concern that other activities in the backcountry could lead to a fire. “People going hiking or driving an ATV, make sure you are responsible,” said Welsh, pointing out potential ignition sources from ciga-
rette butts and vehicle exhaust. “Anything that can produce a spark can start a wildfire.” To report a fire or smoke sighting, call 1-800-663-5555 or *5555 on a mobile phone. “People have a responsibility and an obligation to report a wildfire. It allows for a speedy response,” said Welsh.

Gone but not forgotten
n my former life as a photojournalist on Vancouver Island, I had many interesting assignments. With my manual film-loading Nikon FM2 cameras, with the attached motor drives and assortment of lenses, I captured everything from the colourful powwows held by the Cowichan people at the Native Heritage Centre in Duncan to the giant freighter navigating Doman mill’s lumber out of the tricky waters of Cowichan Bay. There were the accidents on the treacherous strip of the Trans Canada Highway between Victoria and Nanaimo (how I hated going to those), and the 4-H kids cudKristin Froneman dling up to their animals at the Cowichan Exhibition before sending them off to their buyers. (yes, heartbreaking stuff). Those three years working as a stringer for the Cowichan News Leader in the mid-tolate ’90s were unforgettable with some close friendships forged and enough decent prints to go in my portfolio, which is now gathering dust along with my cameras under a desk at home. However, there is one particular assignment that didn’t come from the newspaper that is being unearthed now that a certain anniversary is upon us. It still stands out to this day because of its subject matter - probably one of the most important shoots I had as my time as a photographer. In the mid-90s, I was hired by Veterans Affairs Canada to photograph a service for veterans in Chemainus. I was there to document about eight to 10 veterans from the south part of Vancouver Island who were being recognized by the Canadian and French governments for their service in the Great War. That war started exactly 100 years ago this weekend and all of those men are long gone now.
At rAndoM
However, at the time that I met them, they were aged 90 on up, many in wheelchairs, but most of their memories were intact as if the war had happened the month before. As I photographed one veteran, his gnarled hands holding his freshly polished medals, his face beaming with pride, he told me of serving with his battalion. I wish I could remember his name, which division he was in, and where exactly he had fought. I can now envision the trench, mortars flying in all directions, the stench of death, thanks to all the movies, documentaries and books that have been done about the war. But at the time, I couldn’t imagine it at all. Here I was decades later with my camera enjoying the freedoms they had fought for. But I listened in rapture, pausing the shutter release on my camera to sit down next to him for a while. He deserved my full attention. The funny thing is I’ve always been a peace monger. I’ve marched in anti-war protests, against the Gulf War, apartheid in South Africa, and more recently, the U.S. invasion in Iraq, but back then and to this day, what I owe these men is my respect. After I finished the shoot, I went back to the darkroom (another place from my past where I spent way too much time), developed the film, and printed the black and white photos to be shipped off to Veteran Affairs. Although I probably still have the negatives somewhere, buried in my piles of former assignments and cameras, I don’t really need the physical images to see those faces, and hear those stories even if the details are now a tad hazy. It sounds sappy, but they had a profound effect on me that still resonates to this day. I’m sure the same is being felt even more personally and deeply by all of the veterans of wars since who are commemorating the start of the First World War this weekend. Those men who served may be gone, but they are not forgotten. I’m glad I had a chance to meet some of them.
Relieving poverty is a charitable cause, preventing it is not. By now, Canadians are aware of the Harper government’s view of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), particularly when their agenda conflicts with the prime minister. Audits are one of the tools the government has used against outspoken critics who receive charitable status. According to Canadian Press, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is conducting audits on at least 52 NGOs, including the David Suzuki Foundation and West Coast Environmental Law, to assure they comply with guidelines restricting political activity. Oxfam Canada is now in the CRA’s crosshairs – over a mission statement. In its application for renewal of non-profit status, Oxfam Canada states its purpose is to “prevent and relieve poverty, vulnerability and suffering…” In response, the CRA has told Oxfam that relieving poverty qualifies as charitable, preventing it does not. The CRA’s logic is that the 50-plus-year-old charitable organization might use its clout to benefit those who are not poor. Oxfam tends to focus on providing knowledge, skills and tools to help people help themselves. It also speaks out against political injustices that fuel poverty, using tactics such as its campaign to get Canada and other nations to take stringent action on tax evasion. The CRA is also attempting to do this via the Offshore Tax Informant Program. This “snitch line” has wound up more successful than anticipated, however, and critics are questioning whether the CRA, which has been severely downsized, can see the job through. This overload can’t help when the CRA is also being tasked with keeping charitable organizations in line. — Salmon Arm Observer

investment needed A KPMG Foundation study found that the investment of one would save at least 15. The details can be learned by searching, 'Reading scheme will save taxpayer money, study finds, Education Guardian. Reading scheme saves taxpayer, BBC News.' Individual attention given to struggling readers pays huge dividends. The benefits to the taxpayer would come through lower spending on special educational needs, crime, poor employment prospects,and other social costs. Not counted were the effects of poor health, and substance abuse beyond the age of 18. The government would also have much higher income through tax and national insurance paid by people with better paid jobs or not on benefits. Teachers are fighting for smaller classes so they can provide the individual attention that helps students succeed. Your bright child or grandchild may for some reason, struggle with learning to read. Why should they be at a disadvantage because B.C. spends on average about $1,000.00 less per child than other provinces? What is the cost of the personal

A few bad apples
hen I picked up my July 6 Morning Star, the headline read "Fields aren't for the dogs." It was an article about how dogs were now banned from Marshall Field except for a few trails where they have to now be leashed. My first reaction was, "damned those bureaucrats atthe Regional District of North Okanagan." I mean, now I can't take my dogs down to the trails there and let them enjoy one of the most beautiful walks in the city or let them off leash to let them cool off in the great swimming hole in the creek. Or take them down to the fields Tuesday night (poop bags in hand) on a leash to walk from field to field to watch and visit many women and their families who I coached when they were kids. It's just not fair. Then I started to think about how many times I saw other dog owners let their dogs run around the fields and poop right in the middle of where the kids play. Or the times people walked their dogs while smoking, flicking their butts on the fields and trails like the path is just one giant ashtray. Or the owners who come up to Mutrie Park, let their dogs run around in the fenced park while they sit in their

cars in the comfort of their air conditioned cars reading a book. I suppose they expect the rest of us to clean up after their pets or train them not to nip or jump on people or to pick fights with other dogs. Or the parents who let their kids bring their bikes into Mutrie and then get upset when people stop those kids
loss of potential? A frustrated none reader may strike out later and cost society millions. By investing in children now our government would have productive tax payers. The average reading level of a young offender in B.C. is Grade 7. It costs $30,000 to $40,000 a year to keep someone in jail. Why do private schools advertise small classes? Under-funding education leads to rising inequality that undermines social mobility and equality of opportunity. Many countries are waking up to the drivers of prosperity. It is to our own financial benefit to support teachers' requests and to invest in our precious human capital. I am a retired teacher who for the past 18 years has helped to train thousands of volunteer tutors with the One to One Literacy program provided by Junction Literacy in Vernon. I also tutor struggling readers and have witnessed the benefits of providing trained assistance to readers who could be facing a lifetime of disadvantages. The tutors have many inspirational stories about students who felt depressed because they could not read as well as their peers,but now love reading.

from trying to use 10-pound dogs as slalom cones. Or the person who thinks parking their 4x4 in the middle of the Mutrie parking lot so they can blare a brutal recording of Billy Joel is something we might enjoy. After thinking about it, I thought, "OK, I get it now." For most of us, we are very thankful to have so many parks for our dogs to play and for all of us to meet some new friends (human and canine). A few people even take so much pride in these parks that they do extra clean-up after those who can't be bothered or they build benches for some of our fellow dog walkers to sit on and enjoy the experience, all the while keeping a watchful eye on their loyal canine companions. Sadly, there are those who seem to think that being responsible doesn't apply to them — those who don't have enough common sense or decency or consideration for the rest of us. So it's come to this and personally, I hope RDNO drops the proverbial hammer on the few so that, after the bad apples have been removed from the bin, the rest of us can enjoy things the way they were. robin Bristow
I have marveled at the strength of teachers who have suffered through 12 years of cuts. Teachers are fighting to give personal attention to students. Now is the time to invest in our precious human capital. James Quigg

city hall gardens Spending a bit of time in the downtown lately, I was stunned by the absolute beauty of the gardens now standing between the city hall, the old library and the museum. My children were able to run and play hide-and-seek with great freedom while I roamed and viewed the beauty of the blooming hostas, delphiniums and so many others that I could not name. The wonderful Grey Canal channels provided playtime for my youngsters to get their feet wet while I enjoyed the shade provided from the old trees thoughtfully left and framed by beautiful seating. All the while, I was left with the thought of who must have put in all of the effort for the planning and work for this amazing piece of beauty added to our city to be put in. You should be applauded. Thank you Kaylee Juniper
mp report I have to take some exception to the column in the paper by MP Colin Mayes. It sounds like it was either written by Enbridge or the prime minister's office. Where does he get his information? He claims that pipelines are 99.999 per cent safe. Does he mean for the past 10 minutes? They have had spills on line nine, and several major spills in Alberta. As for tanker spills, there is little international regulation and almost no reporting. It doe not take him long to fall back on the usual idea that anyone who uses oil or gas should be in favor of the pipeline. He does not mention that his government is not supporting Canadian jobs by allowing bitumen to be shipped unrefined to create jobs in China and big profits for multinational oil companies. I am not against pipelines, but not to the pristine north coast of B.C. and not to
ship bitumen to be upgraded and refined offshore. We get enough propaganda from Enbridge and the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers already. gerry manley

The first incident occurred at 8 p.m. in Polson Park when a 17-year-old individual was approached and sprayed with a chemical substance before the suspect departed, possibly in a silver SUV. “The individual is being unco-operative with police and saying they didn’t know anything,” said Molendyk. “It appears they knew each other.” At about 8:30 p.m., someone entered the Blue Moon Esso on 25th Avenue and bear sprayed an individual in the store. The 23-year-old victim in that case also didn’t co-operate with the police and refused offers of medical assistance. The suspect in the second incident is described as a Caucasian and about six-feet-tall. “If the public has information that may help with these incidents, we’re asking that they contact the RCMP,” said Molendyk.

founders Bill Trickey and Ed Schratter. This year marked the tournament’s 10th year and what started with only 10 teams in 2004 now boasts over 80 teams a year, bringing in players from as far away as Australia, Toronto, Alberta and the Lower Mainland. The tournament is twice the size of the largest Vancouver tournament and can easily claim the title as the largest single day bocce tournament in Western Canada. Partial proceeds of the event have been going to a charity that is both worthy and of personal interest to Schratter. “Three years ago, my brother cycled around the world in an effort to raise awareness to the stigma that is often associated with mental illness in this country,” said Schratter. “Mental illness touches one in five

Safeway moving muscles Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Safeway has teamed up with a cause close to its heart to once again Make Muscles Move. Both Vernon location stores are partnering with Muscular Dystrophy Canada to raise funds and awareness through till donations which will support the Safeway Mobility Grant program. The campaign is currently underway until Aug. 15 and will include a special Awareness Day Saturday, Aug. 9 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Vernon Square Safeway. That’s where local ambassador Reg Bardsley, and other clients and volunteers, will be on hand to spread the word and let those suffering with any form of MD know that they are not alone. It’s through this exact fundraiser that Bardsley was able to access the Safeway Mobility Grant program and get a wheelchair. “Research is going to help my kids,” said Bardsley. “Funding for this wheelchair is immediate and makes it so I can get out and go grocery shopping.” Last year a student from Armstrong was supported with a substantial bursary to attend university and assisted living while there.

Safeway customers will be invited to donate $2 to the campaign and in return receive five Air Miles Reward Miles.
Last year the 32nd Street Vernon Safeway store raised $9,193 and $994,269 was raised across Western Canada. This year Muscular Dystrophy Canada celebrates 60 years of making muscles move.

University helps school “Moivaro will be shut down indefinitely unless they can build new washrooms to replace the existing ones which are dirty and dangerous,” said Peacock. The Vijiji Foundation, a local non-profit organization, has been working with Moivaro Primary School, near Arusha, Tanzania, for the last year, building school gardens, painting classrooms, and developing English language learning resources. Peacock has teamed up with the The Vijiji Foundation with a fresh goal of raising money to build new washrooms for the school. “If the school shuts down, this would leave nearly 1,000 children out of classes,” she said. “As the teachers pointed out, what good are gardens, painted classrooms, and English language books if the children can’t come to school?” The school started a fundraising campaign to replace the bathrooms, but Peacock says it is a struggle. The community surrounding Moivaro consists of families who get by as small-scale subsistence farmers; they can barely cover the costs of sending their children to school. The goal is $10,000 and Peacock says they are using the flexible funding option with online fundraiser Indiegogo, which means all funds go directly towards the cost of purchasing materials and paying local fundi (workmen) to construct new washrooms—complete with running water and flush toilets.

Morning Star Staff
It’s a basic, biological need. When you need to go to the bathroom, you need to go. But a group of children in Tanzania are about to lose the opportunity to get an education because the washrooms at the school are in such bad shape, the building is about to be condemned. The school could be shut down indefinitely. Sandra Peacock, community, culture, and global studies associate professor at the University of B.C.’s Okanagan campus, saw the need for action. Peacock, a Vernon resident who teaches anthropology, has taken students from UBC’s Go Global program to Tanzania for the last two years for courses in community-based research and voluntourism. Part of the course work involves supporting the local peoples with projects in their villages. This year, the focus switched and she is helping with a fundraising campaign to save the school. “Our campaign is called ‘Wapi choo?’ That’s kiSwahili for where’s the washroom?’” said Peacock. “It’s one of the first phrases my students learned when they arrived in Tanzania—for obvious reasons. So we had fun with it. But for the kids at Moivaro Primary, it’s no laughing matter.” Peacock, along with UBC’s Go Global students, the Vijiji Foundation and staff and students at the school, has created a video that demonstrates the state of the 40-year old washrooms. With large holes in the concrete floor and no running water, it’s evident that the facilities are beyond repair.

NET, Tirecraft pocket points Morning Star Staff
North Enderby Timber toppled Turn-Key Controls 3-0, while Salmon Arm Courvas grounded Monashee FC 6-2 in North Okanagan Soccer League playoff action Wednesday night. NET is 1-0 and Courvas 2-0 in the roundrobin portion of the post-season. The Timber battle Peters Tirecraft in a make-up match Monday night (6:30) at MacDonald Park. Courvas opened the scoring on a free kick and then doubled it on a short-side finish. After going down three, the heavily insured right foot of Ryan Sharp brought one back for MFC on a stunner free kick from 30 yards. Courvas continued to apply pressure and popped another, but once again the sweet right foot of Sharp bagged another off a free kick. Courvas scored two more to finish the offence. Peters Tirecraft came within seven minutes of a huge upset over the host Revelstoke Stallions at Queen Elizabeth Park. The Stallions converted a late penalty kick to gain a 1-1 draw after a rebound went off a Tirecraft defender’s thigh and foot and struck his hand. “We were still happy with the result,” said Tirecraft veteran Brad Conlin. “We went up there with two subs and were missing three or four key guys and we dug in hard.” Tirecraft took the lead midway through the opening half when David Choi stripped the ball from a defender, sped down the right flank, deked one Stallion and dished to striker Riley Strothers, who buried it low bottom corner.
Riley Spraggs was stellar in the Vernon net, while central fullback Torin Hampton had a marvellous showing and outside defender Bryn Knopf enjoyed a bold match. Brent Poulsen dribbled past the helpless keeper thanks to a great through ball from Mike Bennett. Evan Frederick outmuscled a defender to beat the keeper short side from six yards and Kyle Halvorson was perfectly positioned in front of the net from a cross from Alex Farina.

Tigers take on familiar face at provincials TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
One more sleep for four teams as they dream about lifting the B.C. Junior B Lacrosse Championship trophy. The host and Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League champion Vernon Source for Sports Tigers battle the Delta Islanders in the tourney’s first game Saturday night at Kal Tire Place. “Nobody is gonna have a free ride through our house this weekend,” said Tigers’ coach Keith Hanna. “We got our game-plan down and we are ready to get on with it.” The Tigers are vying for their first provincial championship. The won silver in 2003 and 2009. Reinforcements are on the way with the return of Sean Connors. Connors missed the entire TOJLL playoffs while travelling through Europe. “Sean is a good kid and we’re looking forward to his return on offence,” said Hanna. The Islanders breezed through their regular season at 15-1. They knocked off the Coquitlam Adanacs 2-1 in the West Coast Junior Lacrosse League final series. “We are feeling good about ourselves.
We like our team here but we are very respectful of the calibre of teams we will face this weekend,” said Islanders’ head coach Dave Haller. Expect to see a Darrell Landels similar style to the Tigers from the Islanders. They are a balanced team that has a solid system that takes care of business in the offensive zone. “We are peaking at the right time. We had a Bayne Bosquet good regular season and a strong playoffs and we are healthy,” said Haller. With so much unfamiliarity with all the teams, the Islanders might have a secret
weapon in Mason Limb. Limb makes his return to Vernon as a member of the Islanders. He was a member of the Tigers last season and had 12 goals and 28 points in 14 games. Limb moved to Vernon when he was 13 and played with most of the Tigers growing up. He now lives on the coast getting his hours as an electrician. “It’s going to be a fun weekend, I got a lot of family and friends that are coming out,” said Limb. He scored five goals and eight points in seven playoff games with the Islanders. “I have been staying in touch with the guys for sure. I’m good friends with Bayne, A.J., Darrell and Austin,” said Limb. “I’m gonna be bringing the heat on them.” The Islanders placed third in last year’s provincials with the Tigers finishing fourth. The Saanich Tigers begin their title defence when they battle the Okanagan representatives, the Kamloops Venom Saturday night at Hassen Memorial Arena in Armstrong. “We are fired up to try and repeat this weekend,” said Saanich Tigers’ head coach Chris Jackson.
The Tigers have 12 returnees from last year’s squad. Assistant captain Trevor Hansen is back along with the Tigers’ MVP Derek Jackson, who sniped 19 goals and 39 points in eight games this season. “We are a little younger this year, but we got lots of speed and hustle and we are a team that likes to play together,” said Chris Jackson. Kamloops went ballistic on the interior league in the regular season with one of the most potent offences in years, but dropped the final to Vernon in four games. When you see how many points three Venom players racked up this year, you might need a double take. Brady Jorgensen imposed his will with 66 goals and 103 points, Riley Peterson sniped 26 goals and 73 points and Kyle Pauwels amassed 32 goals and 64 points. Kamloops’ netminder Mitch Horsman will be unavailable for provincials as he sustained an off-floor injury to his right hand during the TOJLL finals. The round-robin goes Saturday and Sunday with the consolation game on Monday at 9 a.m. with the championship immediately following at 12:30 p.m.

Dr. Lee downs No. 1 contender TED United Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association top two teams clashed Tuesday night in Salmon Arm with Dr. Lee/Squires Four Pub doubling TED United 4-2. TED (13-2-1) gave Dr. Lee (16-0-1) their only blemish back in May with a 1-1 draw. Tied at one at half, Jacquie Hansen sniped her second of the game, from Sarah Green, three minutes into the half. The flossers were down to 10 ladies for the final 40 minutes after Green earned a red card, but managed to tack on two more. Cindy Worth sniped the winner from Hansen, with Hansen completing the hat trick on a sweet feed from Deanna Baker. Okanagan Spring Lady of the Match Bobbi Powell played her best game of the season, controlling the back line with help from Dana Reid and Melissa Tkachuk.
VQA shut down Sistas
Vernon Square Liquor Store VQA stuffed the Okanagan Season Sistas 7-0 at MacDonald Park. The Sistas (5-10-2) started with eight players but battled hard under the blazing sun. VQA (6-9-2) sniped five goals and the Sistas added some friendly fire with a pair of own goals. The liquor ladies received great crosses on offence to go with strong defensive play. Karen Benn and Sue Barss split the keeper duties.
Controllers, Rosters play a friendly
The Controllers stopped the Rosters 4-0 before the match turned into a friendly at Marshall Field #1. The Controllers (9-6-2) took advantage of a short handed Rosters (1-15-1) squad. Jacquie Nuyens drilled a left-footed bomb past the Rosters’ keeper to open the scoring. Michele Wernicke’s corner found the head of (Lean) Lena Dean to beat the keeper. Minutes later, Dean picked the top corner on a feed from Nuyens. Nuyens added another midway through the first
half. It an act of sportsmanship, Controllers’ sweeper Jody Pope switched jerseys allowing the game to continue as a friendly. She was joined by midfielder Ang Durfeld in the second half and a more enjoyable evening of soccer was had by both sides.
Impact dispose the Kaos
The Gray Monk/Longhorn Pub Impact dumped the Shuswap Kaos 7-0 at Salmon Arm Kim Weibe, Jodi Hawthorne and Dawn Heiss each scored a pair for the Impact (11-3-3) and Janelle Smithson added a single.

The Chick Kickers blanked the Shuswap Merlot 5-0 at Blackburn Park Field to move into a tie for second with TED. Jen Sorochuck took a feed from Mel Jacobs and snuck it past the keeper to give the Kickers (13-3-1) an early lead. Jenny Garnett thread the needle up to Robyn Sherwood who rippled the twine to give the Kickers a 2-0 lead at half. The usually conservative right fullback Shauna Duncan provided one of the nicest goals of the year when she received a short corner, turned and fired from 30 yards over the Merlot keeper’s fingertips.
Blazers ignite in second half
The AF Blazers came out on fire in the second half to burn the Little Tex Outlaws 3-2 in Division 1 play at Marshall #3. Kira Lee got the Outlaws (1-9-4) on the board early when she stole the ball and belted it home from 30 yards. The Blazers (6-7-2) answered in the second half when Krista Ference ran down the flank thanks to a beautiful ball from Carly Major. Ference made a few moves around defenders and tapped it into the gaping cage. Maria Thorlakson received a lovely cross from Helena Kemper and found the net to restore the Little Tex lead in the

Bosquet putts way by Kreutz Morning Star Staff
A pair of 17-year-old Vernon juniors went to a sudden-death playoff in the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s Ford Series stop in Kelowna. Austin Bosquet drained a brilliant 20-foot sliding putt on the first playoff hole Wednesday for victory over Matthew Kreutz in the Junior Boys 17-19 category. The two tied for the low overall individual lead at 4-under 140 with Bosquet shooting 71-69 and Kreutz carding 68-72 in scoching 40-degree heat. “The win feels very good, it’s a huge relief,” said Bosquet. Third place in the division went to Lionel Taylor, 18, of Kelowna, who carded a 1-under 70-73-143. A team from Two Eagles Golf Club in Kelowna (Kristian Oppenheim, Tanner Marshall and Nik Federko) took down Penticton Golf Club’s team (Kurtis Fontinha, Zach Gardner and Haley Hewer) by one shot in the Interclub, earning a $500 donation towards the junior program at their facility. Another first-time division winner, Connor Atkinson, 15, of Bow, Wash., won the Juvenile Boys 15-16 title with 70-74-144. Four strokes back in second place was Mac Gourdine, 15, of Vernon (73-75-148). Kelowna’s Brandon Whistle, 16, was third at 71-78-149. The Tour stops Aug. 11-12 at Predator Ridge. Meanwhile, Vernon eight-year-old Ryan Vest carded a 6-over 42 Thursday morning at the U.S. Kids World Championships in Pinehurst, N.C. Vest, who has his father, Jeff, carrying his bag, heads into second-round play today in a five-way share of 37th place. Ryan played the Mid Pines Inn & Golf Club course Thursday. Jay Leng Jr. of California was the first-round leader at 34. Justin Brjornson of Winnipeg shot 37 for a three-way share of fifth spot. The third and final round goes Saturday.

Finnian O’Keefe’s goal was to qualify for the Western Canadian Water Ski Championships, starting today at Shalom Park in Leduc, Alta.

cial championships last weekend at Alber Dyck Lake in Abbotsford. “I missed a gate and was disqualified at the B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo so I really wanted to redeem myself in Abbotsford and qualify for the Westerns,” said O’Keefe. “I’m new to trick skiing and I finished in a three-way tie for fourth. My best trick is the 720 and I’m working on tricking on one ski. In slalom, I had personal bests and I reached 32 miles per hour. My tour-
ney personal best was one buoy at 34 miles per hour. At 34, I don’t feel in control yet.” O’Keefe lives on Okanagan Lake and his dad, Rod, operates the boat. He also gets help from a few veteran water skiers. “I’ve got private coaching at Sunset Ranch in Sacramento twice (spring and fall) and I’m hoping to train in Florida this winter,” said Finn, who will give up hockey for downhill skiing this coming season. He spent last year at the Pursuit of Excellence Hockey academy in Kelowna.
Three medals for Davoren Morning Star Staff
Vernon shooter Shaughn Davoren helped Team B.C. make history with their first team win at the North American Indigenous Games in Regina. Davoren, who is entering Grade 12 at Vernon Secondary, struck gold, silver and bronze medals in Under 19 male rifle shooting. He won the gold in Prone, silver in aggregate and bronze in 3P (Standing, Kneeling and Prone). For gold, he recorded scores of 548 and 516 points for a two-day total of 1.064. Davoren, who works at Davoren Red Robin, is a chip off the block as his great grandfather was radio celebrity and fish and wildlife guide C.R (Smokey) Trumbley, who had a column in the Vernon Daily News for decades. Used to non-competitive shooting for years, Davoren took up target shooting about a year ago. “I was just kind of told target shooting was out there and I should try it,” he said. “Target shooting teaches you ways to calm yourself. You can’t be shaking like a leaf. It’s a huge mental thing. It’s way more mental than physical for me.” With his family – his parents are both shooters – and the Vernon & District Metis Association in his corner, Davoren and Team B.C. took 19 of 24 medals. They are the first team in the history of the Games to win both the Overall Team Title and the John Fletcher Spirit Award, presented to the contingent that best demonstrates the spirit of teamwork, fair play, respect and integrity. Team B.C. competed in 13 sports and won a

total of 160 medals (63 gold, 49 silver, 48 bronze) one medal ahead of runner-up Team Saskatchewan. The Games featured 4,800 athletes and coaches. “It was a real nail-biter,” said Lara Mussell, Team B.C.’s Chef de Mission. “We exchanged the lead with Team Saskatchewan several times throughout the Games and it came down to the last few events of the final day.”

Gord (Hoon) Cochran has taken a job as the assistant trainer with the Regina Pats of the WHL. Cochran, a native of Williams Lake, joined the Vipers in 2009. “Hoon has been one of the hardest workers in our organization over the past five years,” said Viper head coach/GM Jason Williamson. “He did a terrific job taking care of the players and it was an area within the organization that I never had to worry about. “He will be very tough to replace but this is a great opportunity for

It was a family affair in the Kootenays as Vernon BMX riders raced with a trip to provincials on the line. A pair of mother-son duos brought home medals last weekend. Cameron Jones won silver in the 15 experts and his mother Brenda finished third in the women cruisers. Jennifer Bitz raced the men and placed fourth, while her son Xavier raced the 11 expert and placed second. The Riddick siblings finished it up with Jadon getting fourth in 15 expert, Faith placing third in 12 girls and Hanya earning fifth.

Vernon drag racer (Buick) Bill Hartford split a few events and had one fellow driver hit the wall doing 120 miles per hour at Thunder Mountain Raceway in Kelowna last weekend. Hartford hit it hard on the throttle against David Cyr in the final round Saturday night. It was a double red for both, while Hartford dialed in a 7.38 seconds and ran a 7.381, recording a red light of .008 at 92 mph. Cyr matched Hartford’s times, but Hartford won because he shot off the line first. In the King of the Hill later that day, featuring 20 cars, Hartford races Cyr again and dialed in at 7.38 seconds and ran 7.43. Cyr dials a 7.01 and ran a 7.07, but Hartford again red lights at .013 for the win. In Sunday racing, Hartford was laddered against Cyr again but this time, Bill cut a green light, .009 against Cyr’s .097 and smoked him off the line and down the track at 93 mph. Paul Rudy’s Toyota then went head to head against Bill Bolts’ Camaro with both cars pushing 1,000 horsepower and running speeds of 120 mph. Rudy’s car went out of control at the finish line and hit the wall and into the cinder blocks on the first turn into the bush. Emergency crews were on the scene immediately.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder WHEN THINGS GO WELL, DO NOT STOP THINKING Edith Sitwell, an English poet who died in 1964, said, “I have often wished I had time to cultivate modesty. But I am too busy thinking about myself.” A friend of mine said that all top bridge players have egos the size of planets. But they do not stop thinking. Even when things seem to be going well, they do not drop their guard. This deal is a good example. South is in four hearts. West leads the spade ace. What should happen after that? South’s two-club rebid was New Minor Forcing. It announced at least gameinvitational strength and asked North to describe his
hand further. When North showed three-card heart support, South went for game in that suit. Yes, three no-trump would have been easy to make, with nine top tricks, but bidding isn’t always perfect. Since East does not want West to shift, he should encourage spades enthusiastically by dropping his nine. West should then cash the spade king and lead a third round of the suit. Let’s suppose East thoughtlessly switches to a club. South, who must play the trump suit without loss, should hope that East has the king and jack. Declarer takes the fourth trick with dummy’s club queen, plays a heart to his 10, crosses back to dummy with a diamond,
leads a heart to his queen, cashes the heart ace and claims. However, an East who is thinking will realize that, based on the point-count, West is unlikely to have a high club. Instead, East will lead his last spade, which promotes a trump trick for the defense.

ready to resume talks. “We want schools back in September and the only way we’ll do that is if we get a negotiated settlement this summer.” When asked whether parents should be planning alternate activities for their children in case an agreement isn’t reached, Clark said she didn’t have an answer yet. “I think at this point there is still hope that we can get a negotiated settlement. “We can negotiate an agreement if we decide that we need to get there. I think we need to get there; I want school back in session in September. “It’s really just a matter of will for both sides to do that.” Early in July, B.C. Teachers Federation president Jim Iker told reporters he was optimistic mediation would get underway in August. Two mediators have turned down offers to get involved with talks. Classes are scheduled to start Sept. 2.

Community brings Secwepemc stories to life Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
A young boy looks up to the elderly woman sitting beside him as she works a whittling knife over strips of cedar bark. Applying the jagged pieces to a cardboard tube, she holds up her work for the boy and myself to take a closer look. “It’s going to be full with arrows when I’m done,” she says, smiling. Marie Thomas is just one of the many volunteers using her hands and knowledge of working with the land to help make the props, masks and costumes for a community play about to be staged at the Splatsin Tsm7aksaltn Teaching Centre just north of Enderby. In other parts of the centre, which acts as a day care and education centre during other times of the year, visitors and residents are learning the traditional language, music, dance and stories of the Secwepemc (Shuswap) people that will be part of the play Tuwitames (pronounced too-weet-a-miss, which means he/she is growing up.) A presentation of Grindrod’s Runaway Moon Theatre and the Splatsin Language and Culture Program, the play goes from ancient times to the present day, and is intertwined with a personal story of a young man trying to find his roots. “I think the time is right for our stories to be told and this is part of the process to make it happen,” said Rosalind Williams, a Splatsin historian and coordinator of the language program at the Splatsin Tsm7aksaltn Teaching Centre. Williams, who has been speaking with Splatsin elders and documenting stories, history and tradition for more than 30 years, has written the script with Runaway Moon’s artistic director Cathy Stubington and Vancouver writer-director James Fagan Tait. The three worked together 15 years previous on Enderby’s community play, Not the Way I Heard It. That play saw more than 300 community members take the downtown streets of Enderby, whereas, approximately 65 people are part of Tuwitames. “It was Cathy who approached me 15 years ago on a play about how Enderby came to be. This time I asked if we could do a play solely on Secwepemc stories. Some of the magic happening with this show is the fact that we are the ones doing it. We’re the pens,” said Williams, who has been especially happy to see participants as young as four on up to 85 from throughout the Secwepemc community, as well as other residents, be part of the process. “All these young people are so brave. It’s a foreign process for them. For many it’s their first experience with the theatre. The depth and the sincerity comes out in their roles. We also have our elders involved and they are so dedicated.”

Brett Haskett (with drill) and Colton William work with musician/puppeteer Zampopo Flores on the set for the community play Tuwitames to be staged at the Splatsin Tsm7aksaltn Teaching Centre Aug. 6 to 10. Vivian Williams (below) adds definition to her paper maché horse mask.
Happy to be back in the community is Tait, who first met Stubington when the two worked on shows at Caravan Farm Theatre in the late-’80s, early-‘90s. “It’s been so fun, like summer camp again... We started writing in May. It was discuss, formulate and write, write, write. Rosalind knew what she wanted to say and how she wanted to say it. She guided the uber-shape of it,” he said. “This takes the concept of a community play model and puts a spin on it. All models are a little different. You invent the wheel every time. They do the volunteering and we offer the special experience. Together we have the opportunity to create a beautiful play.” Tuwitames follows the main character, Kyle,
a young man living in Vancouver who is looking for his birth parents and finds that he is originally from the Splatsin band. Upon his arrival, he goes on a physical and spiritual journey to rediscover his roots. The play travels to four different time periods: from the present to ancient times, or prepre contact, where the people had both human and animal characteristics such as the coyote (seklep) people. Through the disguise of an owl, said to carry messages of bad news, usually of death, to relatives and friends of the deceased, the play also travels to the time of the ‘60s “scoop”, when social services pulled kids out of the community and put them in foster care, said
Ribliciously Good! Try our meaty St. Louis Rib Stackers

Tait, adding Runaway Moon’s general manager, Lark Lindholm, is playing the role of the social worker, an owl-like figure. “You palpably see the difference from this bucolic existence in nature to the heart of the community, the children,” he said. “The play is full of mythology, humour and heartbreak. It has everything.” Music is also important in telling the story. At the centre helping to create and incorporate traditional Secwepemc songs is Renae Morriseau, an actress who starred in the Canadian TV show North of 60 and who now performs with M’Girl Music, an aboriginal women’s music ensemble, which recently went on an international tour. “I did a Skype session with Rosalind who sang the songs for me,” said Morriseau, who has performed traditional Cree, Ojibwa, and Mohawk songs. “There’s a certain universal truth about the protection of Indigenous languages and song as a conduit for learning language.” Stubington agrees. “The more work we put into this, the more depth and meaning there is. We’re learning something new and also documenting and revitalizing the language through song. The kids are also learning the language through song,” she said. The wider community can see the spectacle when Tuwitames is presented in a field with the forest as a backdrop right outside the Splatsin Tsm7aksaltn Teaching Centre, located on Canyon Road off Highway 97A, behind the Quilakwa Super Save Gas Station and Store. The play runs nightly Aug. 6 to 10 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20/adults, $10 for youth and seniors and $5 for children under 12. Call 778443-4000 or visit runawaymoon.org for info.

Play doesn’t take sides when it comes to war
I
n what is a case of good or bad timing, depending on which stance you take, a locally written, produced, and acted play is showing the affects of war, right here in Vernon. With this year marking the 100-year anniversary of the start of the First World War and 60 years since the Normandy landings of D-Day, war has been on the minds of just about everyone who reads the news. Add the tense situations in the Gaza and Kristin Froneman the Ukraine, and it’s an especially scary time. Although the play taking place on the Powerhouse Theatre stage won’t offer much of a reprieve from the horrors of war, it does offer a poignant look at how war affected both those on the home front, as well as those fighting overseas. Written by local playwright Michael Poirier, and directed by The Hub Art Collective’s Matt Brown, War on the Home Front takes the audience to 1944 and the base commander’s office at the Vernon Army Camp, the military training centre that was used during both the First and Second World Wars. There, Col. Hansen (played by a commanding Bob Chamberlain) barks orders to his secretary Mary Carlton (the lovely Caitlin Krahn) and his reporting officer, Capt. Stewart (a placid Kelly Winston). Hansen is especially concerned about a
THEATRE REVIEW
private named Nellie Bullock (who is played here by the feisty Bev Steeves), a tough-asnails woman with a penchant for getting into fights at the beer parlour and dance halls in town. Based on Poirier’s real-life mom, Bullock works for the military as a truck driver, bringing ammunition from the Kamloops storage bunker to the Vernon camp. After hearing enough about her shenanigans in town, Hansen decides to hire her to work out of Vernon so he can keep a closer eye on her. Meanwhile, a mechanic on the base, Cpl. Granger (young talent Sheldon Graham) pleads with his commander to send him overseas. Like Nellie, who if she could would suit up as a soldier, he’s ready to fight. Between these scenes at home, the play travels to a battlefield in Italy where two young privates, Carlton and Swift (brave performances by Spencer Freeman-Marsh and Gavin Opp) are putting their lives on hold. New to the field is Swift, who attempts to get to know the more hardened Carlton, who is not really that interested in making friends. The juxtaposition, and tie-ins, between these two scenarios of life at home and abroad works for the audience to get a better perspective on what the war was really like. Poirier has obviously done his research. Pulling from his own family’s history (his step-father also served in the war as a soldier), and from talking to military personnel, he gets the feel for the times and the situations right. The only problem is the pacing. Thrown between the quieter moments at

Pregnant pauses between the dialogue also didn’t help (but that could have come from opening night jitters.) What brought me out of occasional ennui on the home front was every time Private Nellie made her presence known, especially when putting up her verbal dukes with Col. Hansen. Sadly, there just weren’t enough scenes with her in them to liven things up. However, the play does evoke emotion on

all sides: there’s laughter, sadness, and frustration when things go wrong. The play also doesn’t take political sides, and is an honest, clear view on how war affected those men and women. In all, a job well done from a group of talented and passionate locals. There’s still time to catch War on the Home Front. It continues at Powerhouse Theatre tonight and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the Ticket Seller, 250-549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.

Hercules:

Accepting one more mercenary job to pad their retirement fund, Herc and his small band of loyal fighters are chosen to rescue a kingdom Taylor and Howe from marauding centaurs. But not all is as it seems in ancient Greece and by the time Hercules has found his way through to doing the right thing, he will have become a true hero to the people and earned his legendary status. We say, “It’s comic book Hercules on the big screen.” TAYLOR: This film surprised me. I was expecting a serious tone, epic and ancient melodrama, perhaps along the lines of Gladiator or the recently rebooted Clash of the Titans franchise. Instead, what I saw

Reel Reviews
Hercules (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) rallies the troops with his war cry. was 300 for kids. This really felt like a restricted movie that was toned down in editing. Every time you were about to see gruesome violence or sexy skin exposure, they cut away. There’s still plenty of violence and a bit of sensuality, but it’s been made PG-13 and rightfully so. After all, this is a eye-rolling, self-deprecating, smart ass of a Hercules. HOWE: I agree, there is probably about as much violence in this as say Lord of
the Rings, The Hobbit or The Avengers to some extent. The storyline coupled along with some really good battle scenes had me entertained but there was one moment about half way through that changed all that. Why did he have to drop the F-bomb? There was no need for it; nothing in the movie warranted it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a prude in any way but certain films need certain dialogue and this didn’t need to be in there. It was nice
to see a film that made good use of 3D effects. Although some of the special effects at the end of the film seemed a little ropey. I have seen better effects on regular TV shows, but I can let little things like that slide if the film keeps me entertained. TAYLOR: I too enjoyed the effective use of 3D. It was fun to see swords sticking in my face and arrows flying at me. The film itself, although light and disposable, did entertain me and didn’t annoy me, too much.
Del Rey shines when sad lana Del Rey: Ultraviolence
A
merican singer/ songwriter Lana Del Rey’s third album, Ultraviolence is a study in romanticized oblivion, peopled with dark characters, lost lovers and abandoned compulsions. Del Rey (Lizzie Grant) effectively becomes a gauzy Nancy Sinatra or a hazy Bobbie Gentry, wrapped in reverb and neo-psychedelia. She takes the New York City chamber pop/ baroque rock aesthetic to cinematic film noir settings (Shades of Cool, Ultraviolence) and affects the stance of a Warhol Factory girl – a healthy, successful one, though. Lou Reed gets referenced in Brooklyn Baby, a sincere portrayal of longing and nostalgia for lost 1970s’ ideals and lifestyle... the “Me Decade” with its happy face on. Del Rey’s association with producers Dan Auerbach and Rick Nowels is sympathetic, particularly with Auerbach, whose moody guitar work adds dark flourishes to
stReet sounDs
Dean Gordon-Smith
Del Rey’s songs. She celebrates a weird time period, when the urban culture of the 1960s was discovering the counterculture before it slid down into hippiedom and the resultant ‘70s pessimism.
Vocally, Del Rey is unpredictable. When it seems that she might stick with the baby doll voice she favours in Cruel World, she shifts and goes for a low end Marlene Dietrich delivery. She skirts jazzy textures and ends up in melancholy pop tracks (Sad Girl) and haunting songs like Pretty When You Cry, where she shines. That song is in the same setting as the Nancy Sinatra/Lee Greenwood hit Bang, Bang. At this point, the album becomes a caricature of Del Rey’s swooning hot mess image
and suffers from tunnel vision, becoming contrived. It’s hard to break character and Del Rey’s zone is a hazy place. If Ultraviolence was a painting, it would fall under Impressionism, maybe a late period Monet without the back story. The album is atmospheric and melodramatic, and it takes these qualities to new heights and depths. Del Rey never breaks character and if you choose to go along, it’s an intoxicating presence. Otherwise, once suspension of disbelief is lifted, you’ll finish listening early.

A Rutter family portrait taken in the early 1900s. The First World War marks its 100th anniversary Aug. 4.
Doug Goldthorpe of Bellingham, Wash. hands over the British War Medal earned by William Arthur Rutter to the First World War veteran’s great-nephew, Phil Rutter.
A family’s history comes home Cara Brady Morning Star Staff
The beginning of the First World War went down in history as the shot that was heard around the world. Its echoes are still reaching people today, 100 years after the war began. Phil Rutter always knew that he had a great-uncle — William Arthur Rutter, who served and died in France in the war — but not much else. Coldstream resident Rutter, born and raised in New Zealand, was already interested in history and had done some family research in England, where he met and married Lynn. A surprise phone call earlier this year got Rutter searching for more details. Doug Goldthorpe of Bellingham, Wash., found a medal with William Arthur Rutter’s name on it in his late parents’ things and had no idea how it got there or how to get it back to the family where it belonged. He managed to find Rutter with the help of New Zealand Army records and tell him about it. “I was amazed. There’s no explanation about how the medal got there but he thought we would like to have it,” said Rutter. The record shows that William Arthur Rutter enlisted Oct. 19, 1915, at age 23, right off the farm. He joined the Second Battalion
Auckland Regiment, did his training and embarked for Europe, landing in Alexandria, Egypt, March 13, 1916. He became a lance corporal and his regiment embarked for France April 8, 1916. He served during the spring offensive on the Somme where he was severely wounded in the chest and was admitted to the Third Canadian Stationary Hospital where he died March 30, 1918. He is buried at the Dullens Communal Cemetery near Amiens, France. William Authur Rutter was awarded the British War Medal and the Victory Medal, which were supposed to be sent to his parents in New Zealand. “No one knows if the medals were sent or received. I even wondered if the family would have wanted them because it would have been a reminder of the loss of their son,” said Rutter. It turned out that when he approached the New Zealand Army for the records that one of the staff members was a cousin of his that he didn’t know about who helped with the research. He also appreciated the help from Christine Clement, a genealogist and researcher in New Zealand. Rutter’s grandson, William James Rutter, 10, was excited to hear about the medal and the distant relative he was named for.
William Arthur Rutter in his army uniform. “I have almost the same name and I’m going to get the medal for when he was in the war 100 years ago. I realize I came from somebody,” he said. Goldthorpe and his wife visited Vernon at the end of July and have presented the British War medal to William James. Phil Rutter hopes the other medal, the Victory War Medal, will turn up somehow. He had known his grandfather, Herbert
Rutter, who was the younger brother of William Arthur Rutter, survived the war and went back to New Zealand where he married the woman William Arthur had been engaged to when he enlisted. “My grandfather told me a sad story that I always remembered when we were raising our family. After the trauma of the war, he went a little wild for awhile and his father said in exasperation, ‘The wrong son came home from the war.’ My grandfather said he always remembered that and felt unworthy after that. It made me think that we should be careful and as kind as possible about what we say to people, especially young people,” he said. “Finding out about the medal and its background has been very meaningful to me. It gives me something to really focus on on November 11. I’ve always gone to services and taken my hat off but this makes it real, that William Arthur gave his life for his country. And I think about all the young men and the civilians who were lost in the war, the children they might have had, the contributions and achievements they might have made.” Rutter and his wife are planning to do more family research in New Zealand and in France.

Teresa Van-Zeller, a well known hypnotherapy instructor and author, and founder of B.A.N.I. (Birthing As Nature Intended) is offering a two-day Childbirth Education Practitioner Course in Vernon Sept. 20 and 21 at the Vernon Best Western Lodge. “Birthing as Nature Intended is a complete childbirth preparation program,” said Carole Fawcett, a local counsellor whose company, A Mindful Connection, is sponsoring the workshop. “Van-Zeller has trained thousands of parents to have easier, more comfortable births. “Having a baby is the most normal, natural, basic, physiological and fundamental beginning of life. For centuries, scientific research and studies continue to confirm what nature has always known: childbirth is a natural process.”
Having taught these techniques for more than 15 years, Van-Zeller is coming to B.C. for the first time to teach this specialized course. “It is a wonderful opportunity to obtain this certificate,” said Fawcett. “It is for doctors, midwives, nurses, childbirth educators, doulas, hypnotherapists and those who may be looking to add to their current career or start a new one.” Van-Zeller is a faculty member, trainer/ mentor teaching Roy Hunter’s hypnotherapist certification course in Los Angeles, where she also operates her own
hypnotherapy practice. To sign up for the course, go to www. bir t hingasnatureintended.com, then click on the trainings/classes link on the menu bar and scroll down to Kalamalka Lake, Vernon. There are only 20 spaces available. For more information, go to www.amindfulconnection.com and click on upcoming events or call Fawcett at 250-550-0316.

Bible Numerology. 3 denotes divine perfection; that which is solid, real, substantial, complete, entire. Jonah spent 3 days in the belly of the whale; Paul spent 3 days blind in Damascus; Jesus spent 3 days in the tomb. From earliest times people learned how long they had to wait in the dark before the silver of the new moon appeared in the sky. 3 times the Seraphim cry: “Holy, Holy, Holy.” Abraham brought 3 measures of meal. The leper was favoured by Prophet, Priest and King.
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.

Welcome to the driver’s seat
Visit the 2015 Challenger gallery at DrivewayBC.ca
Challenged by one Hellcat of a muscle car Portland, Oregon – Do I take the red key or the black key? The black key limits horsepower to 500. Jaws drop. If you put it in valet mode, rpms are limited to 4,000. Gosh, I really hope I can take the red key… This Matrix-like conundrum is a good one to have. Take the safer route (black key) if you’d rather ease off on harnessing the gargantuan horsepower of the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat. It’s the most powerful production Chrysler V8, as well as the most powerful production muscle car to date, so it needs to be treated with respect. But then again, the red key will allow me to tame this muscled feline one shift at a time, whether through the 6-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic. Looks like the decision has been made for me. Red key is sitting pretty in the centre console. And it’s in track mode. Electronic intervention is minimal. I
have access to all 707 horsepower and I’m at the Portland International Raceway. I’d say this will be a heavenly day. With a new look on the inside and outside, the 2015 Dodge Challenger is ready to take on its Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro competition head-on. According to market research, two thirds of Challenger buyers say they don’t cross-shop anything else. That said, those who did cross-shop, and decided to go in another direction, attributed it to its archaic interior. That problem is no more. Now Challengers come with a driver-centric and cool-looking interior setup. Whether you have the standard 5-inch touchscreen or the optional 8.4-inch (the biggest touchscreen in its segment), you can’t lose. Then there’s a new 7-inch multi-view driver information display instrument cluster that adds to the chic execution; standard
on all models. Not to mention, it displays all the vital stats that you’ll need when driving. Combined with physical buttons – for those who don’t like to control everything by a screen – its evolutionary changes certainly help its cause. A lot. But the heart of the Challenger lies underneath its sheet metal – the curves and edges that were inspired by the ’71 Challenger. When it comes to engine choices, you’re not without options. There are four.

Five Ford F150 secrets by B. Mitchell Carlson
The F-150 has been the best-selling pickup truck since 1978. Yes, 36 years — that’s longer than a lot of you reading this have been alive. However, there are a few things about Fords popular pickup that most people don’t know about. Earliest Ford pickup wasn’t an F-series. Although Ford offered delivery-bodied cars sporadically since 1905 and one-ton trucks since 1917, its first factory-assembled “pickup” was built on April 15, 1925. The 33,795 1925 model T runabouts with pickup body sold for $281. Why it was called the F-150. The earliest use of the F-series name dates to the all-new 1948 Ford trucks, the half-ton model being the F-1. Ford made the jump to the F-100 name in 1953, but the F-150 nomenclature didn’t arrive until 1975. This was a model that debuted to evade emissions requirements, as it was essentially a “heavy half” pickup rated at just over 6,000 pounds gross weight — the line in the sand drawn by the EPA at the time, which required catalytic converters and subsequently unleaded gasoline. International Harvester also did this for 1975 — its final year of pickup production — making all half-ton 100 models 150s, to avoid install-
ing catalytic converters. The final year of the F-100 was 1983 — by which time leaded vs. unleaded was a moot point. Built all over North America, then there were two. When introduced for 1948, The F-1 was built at all 16 U.S. assembly plants that also built Ford cars. In 1956, with trucks becoming more specialized along with the opening of the Detroit Truck Plant, Ford started consolidating truck production to fewer plants. Beginning in the late 1970s, Ford split its North American assembly groups into car and truck. Today, only two plants build all F-150s globally – the Kansas City Assembly Plant in suburban Claycomo, Mo., and the Dearborn Truck Plant near Dearborn, Mich. Off-white or chrome? The front bumper was longest-running component constantly used on every single pickup and remained unchanged during the F-series era from 1959 to 1979. I guess he liked it. Sam Walton, founder of Walmart and one of the richest men in America, drove the same 1979 F-150 Custom 4x4 to work every day until he died in 1992. When asked why in an interview, he stated “What am I supposed to haul my dogs around in, a RollsRoyce?” Today it can be seen enshrined in the company’s visitors centre/museum in Bentonville, Ark.
Compact crossover The 2014 Honda CRV could be the go-to vehicle to get everything on your to-do list done. Looks: Redesigned in 2012, this CRV continues to receive awards for design, practicality, and function. Very clean bodylines, swept back rear windows with taillights that contour the body. The new shape gives the appearance of a tall stance but the ground clearance remains the same. The three-bar grille looks very good and I like how it cuts into the headlights. In The Cab: The cabin is surprisingly spacious and comfortable. All the gauges are well defined and easy to reach. The LX comes with a 6-way manual adjustment driver’s seat that is heated. The EX-L and Touring edition comes with a 10-way power adjustable with power lumbar support and the rear seats on all models are 60/40 split that easily folds down independently to provide more cargo space. LX and EX models feature a 160-watt AM/FM/CD audio system with MP3/Windows media audio playback with four speakers. The EX-L and Touring models have a 360-watt premium audio system with seven speakers and MP3/ Windows media playback compatibility with a subwoofer, the Sirius XM satellite radio is available with a subscription. The intelligent multi-informa-
tion display features a SMS text messaging function for compatible cell phones. This feature can read incoming texts aloud over the audio system. Safety first: Safety features on the CRV including; front side air bags with passenger side occupant position detection system, dual stage, dual threshold front airbags. Childproof rear doors, active front seat head restraints, three point rear seat belts, three-point height adjustable front seat belts, security alarm, side curtain airbags, and immobilizer theft deterrent system. All models receive a multi-angle rearview camera with a five-inch multi-information display. The camera shows a top view, 130-degree view or 180-degree rear view when in reverse. Power: The engine is a 2.4 litre, 16 valves, DOHC, I-VTEC 4 cylinder that produces 185 hp and 163 lb ft of torque with a five-speed automatic transmission, a very reliable combination for this size of vehicle. Front-wheel drive is standard on the LX and EX models with the option to upgrade to real-time four-wheel drive, while the Touring edition comes standard with real-time four-wheel drive. Hill-start assist helps prevent the vehicle from backwards when it is stopped on a hill. Econ mode comes on with a push of the button.

ing the federal government would come to the table with things like our non-treaty agreements and our incremental approach to treaty for quite a few years,” said Rustad. “That has been something they’ve resisted, but now they’re going to come to the table with that, and we welcome that.” B.C. recently signed its first liquefied natural gas resource sharing agreement for facilities proposed near Prince Rupert. On July 11, B.C. reached its 150th forest resource sharing agreement with the Seabird Island Band in
the Fraser Valley, and has developed similar revenue deals for mining and hydroelectric projects. Ottawa is also promising to restart fisheries talks that have been on hold since the Cohen Commission reported in 2012 on the health of Fraser River sockeye salmon runs. The B.C. Treaty Commission has protested for years that Ottawa’s foot-dragging has contributed to the slow pace of talks, with only four treaties completed since the threeway structure was set up in 1992. Chief commission-
er Sophie Pierre has warned of over-emphasis on resource agreements, with Ottawa and B.C. focused on northern B.C. pipeline and energy projects. Rustad said there are resource projects all over the province that can benefit, adding there will be new agreements announced in the near future. Valcourt’s announcement mirrors the main recommendations of Eyford’s report last fall. It called for “targeted efforts to build effective relationships, including refinements to Canada’s current approach to consultation and

College officials also argued insured patients who don’t pay out of pocket might keep refilling a prescription after they no longer need it just to collect more points and the unneeded drugs may be abused or diverted to the illegal drug trade. But Justice

Christopher Hinkson ruling found the college’s bylaws blocking all incentives were “unreasonable” and too broad. “Their net effect is harmful to the public interest in obtaining pharmacy services and prescriptions at the lowest price,” his ruling says. Hinkson said the claims of pharmacy college board directors defied common sense. “The concern that customers will overspend on their drug and device needs in order to collect the rewards offered is illogical,” he found. “The cost of the drugs or devices to customers will invariably exceed the value of the rewards offered.” The judge noted the ruling doesn’t stop the college from drafting a new bylaw to more reasonably address its concerns. The College of Pharmacists of B.C. said it has made no decisions on what steps it might take next. The court challenge was filed by companies that operate Canada Safeway and Thrifty Foods. The ban also lost in the court of public opinion – the college received 14,000 emails mostly opposing the ban.

Born January 15, 1934 at the Warren Farm in Knaptoft, England, she died in Dad’s arms July 27, 2014, ending a life adventure that began in his arms almost 62 years ago in Paris, France. Mom is survived by her husband, Ted Stevens; five children: Elizabeth Skinner (Jim), Martin Stevens (Loralie), Brian Stevens (Brenda), Valerie Fabbi (Curtis), Wayne Stevens (Andrée); six adored grandchildren: Robyn Fabbi, Justin Fabbi, Cameron Stevens, Trent Stevens, Ella Stevens, and Meghan Stevens; her dear sister, Rita Merrick and many extended family.
