A firefighter makes his way through tall, dry grass while battling a fire near the Greater Vernon landfill, between Birnie and Commonage roads, Tuesday morning.
Grass fire scorches Commonage Local firefighters are starting to hate Tuesdays. Exactly a week after a 36-hectare blaze at The Rise, crews were tackling a grass fire near the Greater Vernon landfill Tuesday. “When I was talking to the crews, I said, ‘It’s been a week today,’” said Keith Green, Vernon fire chief, Tuesday. “But we’ll take them when they come.” Reports first came in at about 9:30 a.m. as people at Marshall Field could see smoke rising above the Commonage. “Crews started to action from below and then a helicopter actioned water from the top,” said Green, adding that the fire began to spread to the west and south between Birnie and Commonage roads. The blaze covered two hectares before being brought under control
“It got within five metres of the tree line.” — Keith Green by late morning. Firefighters from the Vernon and Okanagan Landing departments, as well as the B.C. Forest Service, then shifted into the mop-up stage. “I’m very impressed. Our crews have been phenomenal,” said Green. The situation could have been far more serious given the large amount of grass present. “It got to within five metres of the tree line so we were extremely fortunate,” said Green. “If it had got in there, there are trees heading down towards Kalamalka Lake. We would have got into tree candling.” A cause for the fire had not been determined as of press time.

“There are unconfirmed reports of a loud bang in the area of origin,” said Green. “It’s just grass up there so it’s an odd location for a fire.” As an example of the area’s remoteness, firefighters faced difficulties reaching the site from Birnie and Commonage roads. “It’s very challenging terrain,” said Green. With two wildfires in Vernon within a week, local residents are being reminded of current dry conditions. “Most of the Kamloops Fire Centre is at a high rating with some pockets of extreme,” said Erin Catherall, a B.C. Forest Service fire information officer. Campfires are banned and other ignition sources should be limited. “Lightning is more common at this time of the year and we don’t want person-caused fires because they divert resources away from lightingcaused fires,” said Catherall.

Flames consume Coldstream home JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
With 50-foot flames licking the skies, firefighters couldn’t save a Coldstream home from a blaze that broke out Monday evening. But they did manage to save the neighbours’. “The second home is the good news,� said Coldstream fire chief Shane Code of the Stoneridge Drive fire. “The (originating) house is pretty much a loss.� Residents of the home, an older couple, managed to safely escape the blaze with their two dogs.
The fire, which remains under investigation, is not suspicious. “We’re fairly confident it originated from the area of the garage,� said Code. The homeowner also managed to get his new Ford truck out of the driveway before it was a complete loss. But considerable damage was sustained to the passenger side of the vehicle. Nearby resident Laurie Jenner’s jaw dropped as she stared at the charred frame of the home Tuesday morning. “We were out having a barbecue and could see the smoke,� said
Jenner, who lives on Hofer Drive. “There were flames everywhere, it was just terrible. The flames were high, they looked more than 50 feet to me.� Along with the enormous flames, the fire sent smoke billowing through the community and along Kalamalka Lake. “In less than a minute, it just went up,� said neighbour Brian Guy. Firefighters from both Coldstream and Lavington fought the blaze for nearly four hours. “The second home was actively on fire when we arrived,� said
Code. “We got it under control fairly quickly.� The Coldstream department’s success in saving the second home is credited to its speedy response. “We had our first truck out of the hall within, I’d say, less than two minutes,� said Code. “We had an extraordinary response time.� But due to the location, the fire, like many in Coldstream, proved to be a challenge. “That whole area is a huge challenge because of the slope and grade of the land, close proximity
of homes and the streets are very narrow,� said Code.

Police pursuing cause of fatal crash RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Police are still trying to determine the cause of an accident that claimed the life of a 17-year-old Vernon teenager. Mercedes MariLynne Fraser died Friday from injuries she sustained when the bicycle she was riding was struck by a car at 25th Avenue and 37th Street at about 6:30 a.m. “It could be a few months before all of the reports are in,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “There is the crash analyst and there will be a vehicle inspection. We are still very much at the beginning of the investigation.” The investigation will consider the 64-year-old Vernon woman operating the car. “Is there a medical condition? What are the circumstances behind why the individual crashed?” said Molendyk. The driver was taken to hospital with injuries sustained during the accident. Fraser was entering

Three individuals are facing charges after the alleged abduction of a Lumby child Tuesday. At about 8:35 a.m., Lumby RCMP were contacted by a resident who claimed her ex-husband forced his way into her home and abducted their daughter. “While taking the girl from the home, he allegedly assaulted the mother and a second daughter,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. The child — whose age is not being disclosed — was carried to a waiting vehicle. When the mother attempted

to stop them, she was pushed aside. RCMP officers stopped the suspect vehicle at Highway 6 and Ricardo Road in Coldstream. Three adult suspects in the vehicle were taken into custody. “The father of the child and present wife are from the Oyama area, and a brother is from Winfield,” said Molendyk. The suspects have been released on a promise to appear in court in September. They are expected to face charges of abduction, assault and break-and-enter. The child has been returned home safely to her mother. Family Owned & Operated Offers valid ‘til August 28, 2012

Stabbing sends man to VJH Morning Star Staff
A Vernon man was taken to hospital after being stabbed Monday. Officers attended Polson Park at about 9:30 p.m. and located a 44-year-old man with multiple stab wounds. He was immediately transported to Vernon Jubilee Hospital. “He underwent surgery and is currently in serious but stable condition,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. Following up on a lead, officers arrested a 35-year-old Vernon suspect at a separate location. A portion of Polson Park was closed during the investigation.

The victim fled the scene and the other two women followed her for a short distance. The victim called the RCMP and she was found in the 3100 block of Highway 6. She was taken to hospital and treated for a black eye. Molendyk says the woman did not know the suspects.

Transit isn’t enough
O
ne has to wonder if Coldstream politicians have a complete picture of commuting? Council has asked B.C. Transit to plan for a park-and-ride location. If you’re not familiar with the term, it’s a place where you park your car and then hop on the bus to get to your ultimate destination. The goal is to reduce vehicles on the road. On paper, the parkand-ride concept sounds great for those students heading to the university in Kelowna or people wanting to go south to shop for the day. But in practice, there is a significant oversight. Richard Rolke Specifically, countless North Okanagan residents head to Kelowna every day to work. Because of their shifts — including many that start early in the morning or late at night — buses provide absolutely no assistance in getting them there. And even if the transit schedule initially aligns, workers require certainty when punching the clock and that’s hard to get when you’re at the mercy of a bus pulling over at every stop. If there is a desire to reduce the traffic zooming along the Highway 97 corridor, then jurisdictions need to focus on those commuters who require vehicles. That means making it easier for those people who carpool. Provide them with a fixed location where they can drop cars off and then pile into one vehicle with co-workers or others going the same direction. As it stands now, many residents who carpool face a daily challenge of where to leave their vehicles while they are at work.
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
The wide shoulder along College Way used to be a popular spot for carpoolers but then the City of Vernon clamped down with tickets and paid parking. Private businesses don’t want noncustomer vehicles taking up limited spaces in their lots. Yes, the designated driver of the day could meander all over and pick up their colleagues. But that negates the benefits of reducing emissions if passengers live on opposite ends of town. Such a routine would also become onerous time wise and eventually carpooling plans would fall apart. That leads to more single-occupancy vehicles. Beyond the environment, facilitating carpooling should be a significant issue for local politicians. All of these people who head to Kelowna to work every day bring their pay cheques back to Vernon, Coldstream, Enderby, Lumby, etc. That cash is used to buy groceries, go to restaurants and purchase vehicles and homes. They also rely on those jobs to pay their municipal property taxes, with some of that subsidizing the transit system. Keeping with Coldstream’s proposal, yes there should be a central location for a transit parkand-ride. But that site should also be open to people who carpool. If anything, such a multi-pronged approach, will encourage more residents to pursue alternative transportation. Carpooling could also allow students to get to the University of B.C.’s Okanagan campus when the buses are jammed to capacity (a frequent situation). Don’t get me wrong, transit is a good thing and should be promoted. But it’s not the be-alland-end-all for everyone. It’s time for local municipal councils and planners to think outside of the box.
Canada’s crime rate is at a 30-year low, but despite this good news story, people still feel the justice system is too lax on criminals. Some young men being sentenced for taking part in the Stanley Cup riots are receiving seven to nine months jail time for their part. This may seem either harsh or just in the eyes of the public. But in comparison, most child pornography convictions rarely receive jail time. A conditional sentence is the most common sentence for the crime, even if the perpetrator is not just looking at child porn but distributing it. Convicted pedophiles usually do see the inside of a jail cell, but sentences range and usually aren’t longer than two years — nothing in comparison to the lifetime conviction they have inflicted on their victims. It is particularly troubling that in this study on crime rates, the offence which saw the largest increase was child pornography, which jumped 40 per cent in 2011 from 2010, say police. Going hand-in-hand with this are sexual violations against children, which are on the rise as well. The judicial system doesn’t appear to take sexual crimes against children as seriously as it does rioters. A recent sentencing of a Surrey man who went on a house robbing spree put him behind bars for eight years. The provincial government wanted to send a strong message that those who riot will pay for the crime they committed. The message was heard loud and clear by our judges who by B.C. judicial standards, are handing down harsh sentences. If our government can carry that kind of weight and influence with the provincial judicial system in sending a message of deterrence for rioting, can it not send an even stronger message to protect our children from predators?

Team work brings about success
T
he efforts of many need to be recognized by one. There's no doubt that the events of Aug. 14 will be in my memory for many days to come. Living in the bounty of the Okanagan Valley it is hard not to take for granted the beautiful long summer days and the access to so many wonderful outdoor activities and venues in our local region. One such amenity is my place of employment, The Golf Club at The Rise. Opened on June 18, 2008, the golf course has provided locals and visitors alike a wonderful golfing experience and has become a contributing entity to the bounty of our region. All of this was put at jeopardy when a grass fire, fuelled by gusting winds, threatened the bench lands surrounding The Rise, the properties where locals reside, and the golf course that many people enjoy. I would be remiss if I did not write this letter to acknowledge the efforts of the
MEMORIAL ESTABLISHED In August last year, you ran the news story of our son's death due to an accident while hiking at Monashee Creek. Daniel (Lovegrove) was killed Aug. 13, 2011 when he tried to save his friend who had slipped on an unstable embankment. Sadly, the tree Daniel was holding gave way and they both fell to their deaths. Through our grief, we never were able to thank all of the people who reached out to us. We received condolences from strangers throughout B.C. and Alberta. Daniel was employed with Starbucks, and they assisted not only us, but his colleagues too. The day after his death, they closed his store as the staff was overcome with grief. They generously provided staff and beverages at his celebration of life. Save-On Foods provided food trays also. It was a horrible event, and the last year has been extremely difficult for his friends and family. At the time of his death, he was hailed a hero for sacrificing his life, friends and family wanted to remember and honour him. To do so, we established the
Vernon Fire Department, the Okanagan Landing Volunteer Fire Department, the BX-Swan Lake Fire Department, Vernon city bylaw enforcement staff, the RCMP, the B.C. Ambulance Service, Vernon Search and Rescue, the Ministry of Forests, B.C.
Daniel Lovegrove Memorial Education Fund Society. As Daniel was raised in Edmonton, and his university time was at UBCO, we will be providing scholarships and bursaries to post secondary students attending a recognized university in Alberta or B.C. who are enrolled in a four-year bachelors degree program. We have one last document to file, and once done, we have received confirmation from the charities directorate that we will be granted Charitable status. This means any donations received this year will qualify for a tax receipt. We now need applicants for the scholarships and bursaries. The details for applicants are available on the website at www.daniellovegrove.com. Of course, donations are always welcome too. This is a thank you, and an invitation to the young people seeking scholarships and bursaries. For Daniel to be remembered by way of this education fund, we need to be able to grant the scholarships and bursaries. We are accepting applications for the 2012-2013 school year until Aug 31, 2012. Kerry and Tom Lovegrove
Wildfire Management Branch, and all of our local residents for their quick response in what was a co-ordinated effort to bring under control the grass fire. Without their commitment and dedication, this event had the potential to be catastrophic.
RESPONSE WAS GREAT To all of the dedicated men and women of the fire and forestry protection units that responded to the grassland fire Aug. 14: The developers of The Rise are extremely grateful for your quick actions and hard work in fighting this fire that had the potential to be something far worse with tragic consequences. Your dedication to your chosen field is admirable and truly appreciated. We thank you for your diligence in protecting the homes of our residents while accepting the risk to your self and those of your crewmembers. It is difficult for those of us who observe to really appreciate the scope of difficulty you must endure to provide us with our sense of security, even if it is tenuous at best. Please know that your dedication has not gone unnoticed and while words seem so inadequate, we want you to know that you are appreciated and that we thank you wholeheartedly for your efforts on our behalf. Leona Snider, The Rise Signature Resort Community
Due to their efforts, this event will become a story remembered by one as a success of many. Terry Yacyshen, general manager, The Golf Club at The Rise
MUSEUM NEEDED After reading Richard Rolke's column regarding how crowded and small the current museum is, I thought about all of the lovely hierlooms that my family sent to the dump a few weeks ago. One of the pieces was a grand, elegant, pump organ made in 1908. When I watched the organ go into the back of the truck, there was a lump in my throat. The memories that went with that organ will remain untold, there will be no more happy times around the music player with singers singing and now the voices are silent. Several other things were taken to the dump because no one had room for anything else. What a very sad day this is that these treasures are gone and long forgotten. I love museums and love to tour them and admire the things our ancestors used to survive. Without a museum to house these memories, who will remember? I say to those with the purse strings, what will your future generations remember about you and the implements you used to survive the big, bad, cutback, world. Let's get our act together and make
room for our past history and for the future generations to come. Valerie Mikkelsen

Artist helps her ‘Gramps’ by selling sketches Leanne Cadden presents largest show to date online to help her grandfather recover from a scam KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
The phone call came without warning. The person on the other end of the line told the elderly man that she was his granddaughter and had been in a car accident, and she needed money immediately. He, thinking the call was legit, sent the money, and was left more that $4,000 in debt –– the victim of a fraud known as the grandparents scam. (The scam, which has targeted a number of local seniors, is when a caller phones pretending to be a grandchild who has either been arrested or in an accident and needs money wired to them.) The victim’s real granddaughter, Leanne Cadden, was horrified when she found out what happened to her grandfather in 2010. “I found out at Christmas. My big-hearted Gramps went straight to the bank without hesitation because he loved me so much. It was a beautiful act of kindness that needed to be honoured, and by doing so, replacing the money that he so generously gave,” she said. An accomplished artist, Cadden, a former Queen Silver Star, gallery owner and first finalist for the Young Entrepreneur of the Year from Victoria’s Chamber of Commerce, wanted to do something to help her grandfather recover from his financial loss.
After returning to her hometown of Vernon last year after 14 years of being away, she came up with a unique way to honour him and bring attention to this form of elder abuse –– she started sketching. The resulting Pencil Sketches for Gramps Show features 67 drawings of subjects, ranging from wildlife and florals to life drawing and portraits, and is Cadden’s largest body of work to date that is about to be launched online. “This recent show is one of the largest challenges I’ve ever taken on in my entire life so far and after a year and a half of making it happen, I feel pretty good about releasing this body of work. It’s some of my best work ever,” said Cadden, adding she could never have achieved this calibre of show without the support of her hometown. “Homegrown love from this community of family, friends and the kindhearted people of this wonderful place have allowed this show to grow freely. And so, as this show is a cultivation of a beautiful community, it is therefore being dedicated to Vernon with love,” said Cadden. This is also the first show ever that Cadden is launching completely “virtual”, using social media sites and the web. “I don’t know of many artists that have done this before to launch a major show but the thought of it is exciting,” said Cadden. “Instead of reaching only your immediate neighbours for a showing in the physical, the on-line launch has the potential to go viral and global. It’s a cool, new experiment for me and I have no idea how it’s going to turn out because I’ve never done it before.” The Pencil Sketches for Gramps Show can now be viewed under Leanne Cadden on Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube, and on the blog Theartofresourcefulness. com and at Leannecaddenart.wordpress.com.

‘Folktronic’ band is one of many acts going Back to Earth Submitted to The Morning Star
PHOTO SUBMITTED
Kira Gosselin sings in the “folktronica” band Solara, one of the musical acts performing at the Back to Earth Community Harvest Festival at Lavington Park Friday and Saturday.
Solara have created a genre they call their own. Born out of roots music, melded by passion with down-tempo electronica, the three eclectic and talented musicians who form the band have equal input on lyrics, melodies, and songwriting style. Solara is one of the many musical acts lined up to play the inaugural Back to Earth Community Harvest Festival taking place at Lavington Park Friday and Saturday. Solara consists of Evan Wilds on keys, acoustic guitar and hand drums, lead vocalist Kira Gosselin (of Earthbound fame), also on acoustic guitar, and percussionist Mark Greenhalgh, who is also in charge of the computerized techno beats which creates the Solara sound. When asked to describe their music, Greenhalgh said “folktronica” comes to mind. “It started off as a joke, but it truly best describes our music,” said the seasoned musician, record producer and mixing engineer. “We take world and folk then produce it with modern music making technology, getting more of a groove oriented structure with lots of deep bass.” Working with loops, synths, hand
drums, sitar, vocals, and two guitars produces a laid-back, very cool, soft and ambient, relaxing, positive sound that people resonate to, and as a bonus it carries an infectious danceable beat. Solara (the name is derived from the sun) was inspired by a recent tour in Australia, where Greenhalgh says “there is a massive electronic/world music influence,” which he has loved since the ‘80s. While in Australia, Solara met up with the “Queen of Loops” Mihirangi, a long time friend of Greenhalgh’s. He was also involved in the production of her forthcoming new record, Somebody Shake The Tree, as well as mixing some live tour dates. “Mihi’s music has powerful messages, is hypnotic and provocative, which re-confirmed our vision for the album (Solara, soon to be released),” said Greenhaulgh. The Back to Earth Community Festival starts Friday at 6 p.m. Admission is free that evening with music by Little Isabel, 2Step Closer and Kath and the Tomkats. Saturday admission is $5 with a donation to the food bank at the gate, which opens at 9 a.m. Performances include Our Kids Have Talent (Olivia Penalva, Trinity Routley, Bjorn Kriel, Better Than Average, Megan Lauridsen, Amistad, Gallon’s
Corner, Jesse Mast, Shayle Routley and Beamer Wigley) who have all won the opportunity to play at the festival in this past year’s talent competition. Others acts include The Ananda Dancers, Earth Sisters, Sister B & The Boyz, 4th Divide, Windfall, Solara, and The Jo Burt Experience, led by Black Sabbath’’s former bassist who has toured, recorded and performed with Jimmy Page, Freddie Mercury of Queen, and The Troggs, and provided vocals for Nona Hendrix, Melanie and Bryan Adams among others. The festival will also feature more than 27 food vendors, artisans, and free sustainable workshops, including an intro to aromatherapy, bee keeping 101, Alba healing arts yoga, wild roots, Element Eco Design and drumming for the Earth. A kidzone will feature a felt making workshop, face painting, dancing and singing with Kiki the Eco Elf, with the pool and playground area on site. “It will all make for an amazing community spirited, giving back kind of harvest festival,” said festival promoter Kath Raeber and Kiley Routley, owner of Back to Earth Enviro Products, which is hosting the event.

Saving seeds begins with the plant
I
can see the difference in the day length specially at night. I would like to see a difference in the day temperature. We had a couple of cooler nights but this didn’t last very long. In my last column when I was giving the recipe for the garlic spray, I wrote to fill 1/2 cup (500ml). It should have read 1/2 cup Jocelyne Sewell (250ml). Sorry about that. I am getting a very good crop of cherry tomatoes this year. I enjoy the taste of the “Green Grapes.” I was not sure when to pick but the right time is when there is a tinge of gold and still green showing. Another one is called Red Cherry and these are the biggest cherry tomatoes I have grown. Peacevine is about the size of Sweet 100 but sweeter. Prince Borgia and Black Cherry are very nice but I still give the winning prize to the Yellow Pear, very meaty and a very good taste. I will be drying some to use as a snack. I have taken the nicest ones and harvested some seeds already for next season. I have been using the green house
A GARDENER’S DIARY
for drying fruit leather and also some plums. It works very well and the plums were done in two days. I quartered them and used the trays from my dehydrator. I will be doing the tomatoes there, too, if the sun keeps on. The drawback is if the nights are too cool, I have to bring the trays in the house as the product absorbs humidity. This is the time to harvest seeds from plants that you want to propagate in your garden next year. As summer slowly vanishes, nature is very generous in sharing its bounty. Seed saving is not simply a matter of picking a few seeds and storing them for future use. There is much involved in saving seeds properly and it begins by selecting the right plant. The first thing to know about seed saving is that not every plant in your garden will grow well from seed. Some hybrid varieties will not produce viable seeds. Others will produce seeds that germinate, but the offspring may not resemble the parent plant in any way. It is said that these plants do not come true from seed. The term “come true” means that the seedling plant has the same characteristics as the parent plant. If you’ve decided to collect seeds from
your own garden plants, you’ll want to observe the plants throughout the growing season and select the best performers so that their genes will be passed on through the seed to the next generation. By continuing to select the best plants each year, you will eventually end up with a seed strain that is well adapted to your climate and conditions, that has the best flower or fruit or leaf colour and that is pest and disease resistant. The term “heirloom” gets tossed around a lot these days in reference to plants, but what does it really mean? Heirlooms are generally open-pollinated varieties that were introduced more than 50 years ago but are no longer commercially available (although some seed catalogues have now begun to offer them, due to popular demand). These plant varieties were kept from extinction by people who faithfully saved the seeds and grew the plants year after year (protecting them from cross-pollination to make sure the strain remained pure.) More on this subject next time. Often the only way to obtain seeds of heirloom varieties is through a seed exchange. For more information, please call 250558-4556.

Peppers are ideal for stuffing
L
ong gone are the days when I would scoop out the fillings of a stuffed pepper, avoiding the outside entirely if I could get away with it. Perhaps for children (and some adults), stuffed peppers are an acquired taste, or maybe it was the manner in which they were prepared and presented to me as a youngster that I so disliked. However, I wasn’t the only one in our Cathi Litzenberger bunch of eight kids who left a mass of green on the plate. Today a stuffed pepper is one of my favourite dishes in late summer, and it is me, instead of my mother, who gladly takes the pepper shells some don’t want. Yum! We have fresh peppers of all varieties being harvested right now as well as fresh corn on the cob, something I truly love to eat with stuffed peppers so it’s a good time to head to the local markets and pick up a supply for the weekend. Today I have one non-traditional stuffed
KITCHEN WIT & WISDOM
pepper and one recipe that’s probably been around for centuries. Enjoy. Stuffed Red, Orange, Yellow Peppers 4 - 6 bell peppers (red, orange, yellow or green) 1 or 2 baked and cubed chicken breasts 10 oz. container light Alfredo sauce 1 - 2 cups penne pasta (whole wheat OK) 6 - 8 garlic cloves (or to taste) 1 cup mushrooms or to taste) Olive oil for frying Fresh tomatoes (will depend on number of bell peppers — see below) 1 to 1-1/2 cups mozzarella cheese Preheat oven to 350 F. Bring a large pot of water to a full boil. While waiting for water to boil, wash bell peppers. Slice off stem tops, saving as much of the pepper to fill as possible. Once water is boiling, put all the bell peppers in the pot, fully submerged. Allow to boil for 10 minutes, or until tender. You don’t want to over boil or the bell peppers will be too weak to hold stuffing mixture. While the bell peppers are boiling, chop up half a bulb of peeled garlic or six to
eight cloves (or according to your tastes). Alternatively, a garlic press may be used. Wash and coarsely chop mushrooms. Sauté garlic and mushrooms in olive oil. Boil pasta. Heat Alfredo sauce in a small sauté pan or in the microwave. Once the bell peppers are tender, drain and transfer to an oven-safe dish. The number of tomatoes needed depends upon the number of bell peppers you have chosen to prepare. Place a slice of tomato in the bottom of the bell pepper and on the sides if you like, depending on what fits. Mix the chicken, sauteéd garlic, mushrooms, pasta and Alfredo sauce together in a bowl. Spoon as much of the mixture that will fit into the bell peppers. Top with a tomato slice and 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese. Place in the oven for as long as it takes the cheese to melt. This might sound like it will take a long time, but truly it will be in the oven in about 20-25 minutes and then another 10 in the oven so this is almost a 30-minute meal. Stuffed Bell Peppers 8 large firm bell peppers (green or red) red are sweeter, but I like green
1/2 lb. ground bacon 1/2 lb. ground lean beef 2 cloves garlic, pressed 1 large onion, finely chopped or grated 2 cups raw rice 2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 3 cups puréed fresh tomatoes (fresh tastes best) Wash and cut tops off peppers, clean seeds out, saving tops. In a large frying pan, cook ground meats with garlic and onion until cooked through. Remove from heat and place in a large mixing bowl; add rice, salt, pepper and puréed tomatoes. Mix well. Fill the peppers with the mixture to about half an inch from the top; add pepper top to each pepper. Place filled peppers in a deep casserole dish with a lid. Bake, covered, in preheated 350 F oven for about an hour, or until the rice is cooked. Wonderful served with fresh corn on the cob, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers.
Clinic offers help for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Morning Star Staff
The first residential clinic for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in Western Canada is open in Kelowna and Richmond, by Diversified Rehabilitation Group Inc., an Okanagan-based rehabilitation and disability management company. Dr. Gordon Davidson, registered psychologist and clinical director of the program, said that hundreds of thousands of Canadians are affected by PTSD. “Incidents that can put individuals at risk for PTSD include serious physical injuries, motor vehicle accidents, robberies, violence or assaults, bullying or harassment, exposure to trauma for first responders and health
care providers, and combat exposure for soldiers,” he said. “While most people recover from a traumatic event within a few months, a subset of individuals go on to develop PTSD.” Common features of PTSD include flashbacks and nightmares related to the incident, emotional numbness or depression, and avoidance or phobias related to reminders of the incident. Other symptoms include cognitive problems, such as memory and concentration difficulties, as well as increased irritability. The cost to the Canadian economy of lost days of work related to PTSD runs into the hundreds of millions of dollars per year. The new, one-month pro-

gram will include daily treatment by a team of professionals with scientifically supported treatments like biofeedback. Participants will use desensitization methods to overcome their fears of returning to the workplace. If anxieties are too significant to return to the original job, the program will assist participants in finding other areas of employment that are more suitable. There will be a strong focus on education for participants and their families. “PTSD has become a global health issue. The goal of the program is the restoration of community functioning and
wellbeing of the individuals who have PTSD,” said Derek Sienko, owner of Diversified Rehabilitation Group. Inc. “The interventions focus on helping the individuals to develop coping skills and empower them to access resources needed to increase their capacity to be successful and satisfied at work, home and in their social environment.” The Kelowna residential program may also be accessed on a daily basis by people living nearby. The Vernon office will provide non-residential trauma service. The program will also serve as a training site for university students in clinical programs and deliver

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder HOW DO YOU HANDLE A WEAK TWOBID? Few players can resist the temptation to open a weak two-bid with a sixcard suit and five to 10 high-card points. Do you and your partner know how to compete effectively against one? Basically you treat it like a one-bid, but with a few differences. When you enter the auction, assume partner has six or seven points. A jump overcall is intermediate, not weak; it shows some 14 to 16 highcard points and a good six-card or longer suit. A third variation crops up in today’s deal. After North makes a takeout double, if South were to bid a natural two
no-trump, it would show 10 or 11 points. (If you use Lebensohl, you know what two no-trump means.) So here, South must advance with three clubs (or three diamonds). Then, when North cue-bids three hearts, it asks South to bid three no-trump with a heart stopper. Against three no-trump, West leads the heart four. With only five top tricks (two hearts and three clubs), South must establish three diamonds and one spade. Here, though, if he wins trick one and plays a diamond, West should take the trick and lead his second heart, establishing that suit while East still has the spade ace as an entry. And if South leads a spade at trick two, West should
play his jack. Then East will take dummy’s queen with his ace and return a spade, giving the defenders four spades and one diamond. The winning play is to let East win the first trick. This is usually best when you have two stoppers in the suit led and two high cards to dislodge.

Lumby councillor protests smoking ban RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Not everyone favours butting out in Lumby. Coun. Nick Hodge was in the minority as council gave three readings Monday to a bylaw that would ban smoking in areas used by children, such as the pool, the playground and the skateboard park. “I thought we were rushing it. We didn’t check with the public

Mindnich says compromise is the focus of the bylaw. “They (adults) have a right to use the park as much as anyone and we just don’t want smok-

Mayor Kevin Acton doesn’t believe there should be a complete ban on smoking for adults at recreational facilities. “Twenty per cent of the population still smokes and we don’t want to be unwelcoming to special events or having the park used,” he said. Acton acknowledges,
though, that there are some adults who don’t want to be around cigarette smoke. “They will have the choice to enter those grounds or not,” he said. Smoking will be
Cell phone use leads police on chase RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
It took some time, but Vernon RCMP finally got their man. A police officer wound up in a prolonged chase after observing a man using a cell phone while behind the wheel of a car Aug. 16. “He didn’t make things easy for the officer,” said Gord
Molendyk, detachment spokesperson. The incident began at about 11 p.m. when an officer noticed the driver of an Audi talking on his cell phone while westbound on 32nd Avenue. The vehicle was pulled over just west of 34th Street but while the officer was contacting dispatch, the motorist took off down 32nd
Avenue and then turned southbound on 35th Street. It then came to a stop at the Schubert Centre. “Our officer was able to pull in behind the vehicle and observed the male take off westbound on 30th Avenue,” said Molendyk. “He found the driver on foot on 30th Avenue near 40th Street. The driver again took off
when our member pulled up and activated his emergency lights.” The case then continued through an alley and some yards before the suspect was apprehended. It was discovered that the 19-year-old Vernon man was prohibited from driving. He is facing charges of flight from police, obstruction under the

Armstrong logo to be stamped in chocolate ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
An Armstrong chocolate company’s desire to use the city’s centennial logo for its commercial purposes is a sweet idea. Chocoliro Finest Chocolates has been given city approval to use the 2013 centennial logo on its printing of chocolates, merchandise wrappings and chocoloate tin boxes, as well as for advertising and promotional purposes. “I think we should try to enhance this and encourage other businesses to use the logo on marketing their products from our town,” said Mayor Chris Pieper.
“Chocoliro has chocolates almost worldwide. I would encourage all businesses to celebrate our centennial by using our logo.” Sign support The Armstrong-Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce has the city’s support for a new sign at the entrance of the community. The sign would incorporate an electronic reader board into the design. “I don’t think there’s anybody on this council who wouldn’t support such a Chris Pieper request,” said Coun. Shirley Fowler. Approval is needed from the Ministry of Transportation.

There’s something for almost everybody in the
teens. “We put all the events that we’re thinking of throughout the year across the wall on a calendar, and (committee member) Jack Jamieson looked at it and said, ‘there’s nothing up there for our youth,’” said Terri Wong, who has been hired to coordinate the centennial events.

“It was true. There really isn’t anything for people aged 13 to 19 that they’ll be interested in.” Wong gave a draft of 2013 centennial events to council that could be held throughout the year, including things like a world record snowball or snowman attempt in January or February; a heritage
week; reenactment of the original council meeting; book sales; car show; steam tractor demonstration. These would coincide with existing Armstrong events such as the IPE, Music in the Park, Canada Day and Funtastic. “I want something really big to stand out and appeal to all age
groups, but to focus on 13-to 19-year-olds,” said Wong. “There are lots of things on the calendar that appeal to older people in community and young families. “I think we should do at least one sort of event for the youth.” Wong plans to add high school and middle school students to her

“We’ve been trying to promote markets in Lumby and Cherryville and there’s a disadvantage if we don’t qualify as a farmers market,” said director Rick Fairbairn of accessing funding for marketing. Director Mike Macnabb opposed RDNO’s involvement, saying markets should apply to SIDIT directly. “We’re not in the business of keeping other people in business,” he said. However, that argument came under fire. “Economic development and agriculture are the two top things our communities want to see and we need to get behind them,” said Acton.

ANDRE LODDER Morning Star Staff
While most people surf the Internet by catching the latest waves on Facebook, one Vernon resident is currently hitting the social media outlet by wakeboard. Dustin O’Ferrall can often be seen in competition on the water in the Okanagan, but it’s his competition on Facebook that’s currently heating up. O’Ferrall is a finalist for Rip Curl’s The Judgement contest, presented by the popular Canadian wakeboard magazine, SBC Wakeboard. Each participant has provided a video edit featuring wakeboard highlights, and is then pitted against another competitor in a head-to-head battle using Facebook ‘likes’ to decide who wins. But when O’Ferrall received the invitation to participate, he was coming off a big injury and knew he had his work cut out for him if he wanted to get a quality edit. “I started the year off with a bad ankle injury, it was kind of a rush healing it in time so we could get going again and start shooting,” said O’Ferrall. Yet when he received the invite, O’Ferrall knew the competition was right up his alley. “Riding and filming have always been a big part
of what I like to do,” said O’Ferrall. O’Ferrall has been wakeboarding in the Okanagan for over 10 years and still considers it one of his favorite places to shred. When the 24-year-old first started wakeboarding, it was just a summer activity to complement his snowboarding. “It’s essentially being able to snowboard on water in the summer,” said O’Ferrall. Over the years his skills on the water evolved. He is now wakeboarding professionally and has won numerous competitions across the globe. Most of the footage from the video competition was shot in the Okanagan but it also features shots from across Canada. O’Ferrall is currently in the competition’s final round and pitted up against Robbie McMillin of Barrie, Ontario. Voting ends Saturday at 2 p.m. and O’Ferrall is hoping the local community will support a homegrown rider who simply loves wakeboarding and especially in his home town. “I love the weather, the atmosphere and the lifestyle. It’s really got a great vibe,” said O’Ferrall. To view and vote for the final videos go to SBC Wakeboard’s page on Facebook or follow the links from their web-site, www.sbcwakeboard.com.
Enderby prohibits campfires Morning Star Staff
More local communities are stomping out camp fires because of dry conditions. The City of Enderby has implemented a campfire ban to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety. “The area is extremely dry and there is a high risk of forest fires,” said Kevin Alstad, fire chief. The prohibition does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or to a portable campfire apparatus with a CSA or ULC rating that uses briquettes, liquid or gaseous fuel as long as the height of the flame is less than 15 centimetres. Besides Enderby, there are also campfire bans in Armstrong, Spallumcheen, Lumby, Vernon, the Regional District of North Okanagan, Lake
“The area is extremely dry and there is a high risk.” — Kevin Alstad Country and the North Westside Road area. The Ministry of Forests has banned camp fires in B.C. Parks, Crown land and in areas not served by a fire department.

Timbermen eliminate Dynamite Morning Star Staff
Only two of Vernon’s five entries in the North Okanagan Soccer League playoffs survived the opening quarterfinal round Sunday night. Top-seeded North Enderby Timber trimmed No. 8 Davidson & Co. Dynamite 5-1 on Marshall Field #4; No. 2 Salmon Arm Courvas shaded No. 7 Monashee Surveying 5-4 on Little Mountain Field #1; No. 3 Turn-Key Controls slammed No. 6 Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels 4-0 on Marshall #2; and No. 5 Nation of Domination Eagle Homes of Salmon Arm upended No. 4 Revelstoke Stallions 2-0 in Revelstoke. Semifinals go tonight, with NET taking on Eagle Homes, 6:30 on Marshall #2, and Courvas entertaining Turn-Key on Little Mountain #1 in Salmon Arm. NET trailed 1-0 at the half after a misplayed pass from the Timber defense allowed the Dynamite’s Moe Singogo to go in alone on a breakaway. Davidson goaltender Bryndon Buckham had an outstanding half, which included a penalty shot save, to keep his team in front. After an aggressive halftime speech from coach John Farina, NET equalized in the opening minute when Dexter James converted a through ball from Brent Poulsen. Sean Lister converted the rebound off another penalty after Buckham made the first save. In the 66th minute, James hammered a volley after a gorgeous pass from Ross MacDonald, and in the 85th minute, Brodie Couch curled a sweet ball to the far post to make it 4-1. Harminder Sandhu set up the tally with some nice work in tight quarters before dishing to Couch. MacDonald struck the final blow in the 90th minute by unloading a one-timer

Andrew Pool collected a hat trick to power the Turn-Key offence past the humpbacks. Turn-Key pressured the Camels from the
start, and opened the scoring early in the first half when Brendan Love converted a scramble past busy Camels’ keeper Sean Campbell. Campbell made many great saves, but Pool converted a pass from the wing from Chris Jahnig for the 2-0 goal. Pool added to the lead when he ran onto a perfectly placed free kick from Evan Moore before halftime. After the break, Preston Tucker blasted a 25-yarder off the crossbar, and Pool converted the rebound. Nathan Tucker filled in admirably for regular goaltender Jeremy Kler, making a fantastic late save to preserve his shutout. The Camels, missing several key players, had strong play from Campbell, defender Keenan Jespersen, midfielder Bryan Schenker and striker Ben Osborn. Monashee boys took early advantage against the understaffed Courvas as Tyler Johnson pocketed his first of the year on a one-bounce volley that tucked under the bar. The Surveyors continued to play smart soccer until the rest of the Courvas crew showed up and scored twice to take the lead. Johnson doubled his year’s goal output by pushing home a bobbled ball by the Courvas’ keeper. Tied at halftime, Courvas converted at the 52nd and 59th minute, only to have Monashee’s Devon Merroit win a one-onone battle and pull his team within one. Salmon Arm went up 5-3, and Alberto Lopez capped with scoring, twisting and turning his way for a goal, short side. Monashee gave a big shout out to their players, friends and family, and especially to leader Eric Nolting, who made the trip to watch his Army.
Ogopogos surprise IGA in 45+ men’s soccer upset Morning Star Staff
It was a mismatch on paper, but not on the pitch as the Big O Tire/Turn-Key Ogopogos upset IGA Marketplace 4-3 in Okanagan Men’s 45+ Soccer League play Monday night at Mission Sports Fields in Kelowna. The fourth-place Ogopogos scrambled to field a roster and ended up with three subs to face an IGA squad that had given up just 13 goals all season. John Garner, Mark Wasylyk and Parm Klerr collected singles to give 11-7 tiremen a surprising 3-0 first-half lead. Wasylyk capitalized on a giftwrapped IGA throw-in, going in on a breakaway to beat the IGA keeper. Garner, playing with bruised ribs and an injured groin, collected
his goal on a Wasylyk rebound. Garner then made a nice cross to Wasylyk, who left it for Klerr for a blast to the corner, leaving powerhouse IGA, now 15-2-1, bewildered. IGA, who outchanced the tiremen throughout the game, regrouped in the second half, led by a pair of goals from talented Jimmy Kruiper. They equalized on a penalty kick by Dante Zanatta after burly Big O forward Paul Hunter tackled a player from behind inside the 18. Giving it one last effort, Klerr fed a nice through ball to a streaking Wasylyk, who made no mistake finishing. Turn-Key defenders Rob Ross and Leo Nadeau continually frustrated the IGA squad, while centre halves Brad Conlin
and Gary Dill showed tons of hustle. In other 45+ action Monday night, the Silver Stars collected their second straight win with a 2-1 win over Cantina’s on Marshall #3. The sweltering heat stifled the play of both teams, but the Stars adapted with a solid short passing game to control the play. Mark DeVolder, Art Renaud and Rick Danyluk ran tirelessly collecting through balls, but were unable to convert. The 8-5-5 Stars opened the scoring at the 25-minute mark when a gaffe between the Cantinas keeper and his last defender allowed Gary Saunders to score a gimme from eight yards out.

McNeal cards Spall men’s title Morning Star Staff
A fixture in the Spallumcheen Golf & Country Club pro shop since 2005, Jarrett McNeal has his first men’s club championship. The 22-year-old Fulton grad carded rounds of 70-69 for a 3-under 139 to earn overall low gross under scorching skies last weekend. Jim Arthur claimed overall low net at 131. “I do hit a long ball, but it was my putter that got the job done for me,� said McNeal, who earned a range pass and a Ping G20 hybrid club. “Anything within 10 feet that was supposed to go in, I made it.� In the first flight, Paul Holtom was the low gross winner at 146, with Garth Wells (151), Vince Lewis (153) and Kyle Wiebe (154) rounding out the top four respectively. Jon Gardner finished with a low net 136, followed by Don Helm (142), Sheldon Kubbernus (148) and Bob Vedan (149). Doug Kuhn ruled the second flight with a low gross 156. Bob Wager (160), Tyler Galenzoski (163) and Rick Spiller (163) ranked second, third and fourth respectively. Bob Smith took low net honours at 141, three strokes ahead of Dave Bissell (144), and four ahead of both Pat Lewis and Peter Haines at 145. Darold Zukowsky produced a 161 to take low gross in the third flight. Gerry O’Brecht was six strokes back for second place, Scott Pisiak shot a 168 for third and Jim Fuhr was fourth at 169. Fred Soderberg’s 139 earned him low net, followed by Tom Wild at 141, Rodger Bergen at 143 and Art Heale at 144. A 163 was good enough to earn Jeff Smith low gross in the fourth flight, three strokes ahead of runner-up Dave Saunders. Rod Heide (171) and Louie Siewertsen (174) completed the top four. Bill Smith collected low net with a 133, with Gus McNeil and Dave Ingram tied at 139 and Dave Gerhardt finishing fourth at 143. ■Shane Bowring, with a 156, and Diane Watts, with a 183, collected the men’s and women’s championships last weekend at The Rise. Earning overall low net titles were Bob Newman, at 129, and Carla Gibson, at 144. Rick Higginson, last year’s champion, took the Saturday’s men’s long drive competition, while Watts hit long for the ladies. Bowring and Lorraine James took long drive honours Sunday. Neil McLean pocketed both men’s KPs, and James and Gibson each had one for the ladies. ■There will be five lucky junior athletes teeing off at the Vernon Vipers’ inaugural golf tournament for KidSport Sunday at The Rise. Telus stepped up to sponsor a handful of local athletes for the event, which will feature guest celebrities Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens, Jerred Smithson of the Florida Panthers, Aaron Volpatti of the Vancouver Canucks and Detroit Red

North Country sinks Bosman Continued from A24 The second half saw both teams fatigued, but the 2-16 Cantinas came out hard, generating some great offence in the first 10 minutes. Stars’ keeper Ted Lurkins made a nice deflection save, pushing the ball just over the bar to preserve the lead. Steve Coombs made it 2-0 when he made an unchecked run from the back line to pick up a through ball. He chipped a beauty over the goalie from 30 yards out. Cantinas moved back to within a goal when John Schwaiger scored with eight minutes to play. Greg Bevandick recorded the hat trick as North Country Appraisals Kickers earned a 3-1 victory over Vernon’s Bosman Accounting at Parkinson Fields in Kelowna. Bevandick converted twice on breakaways set up by Matt Cherrille. Kent Molgat, John Dorward, Gurinder Dhaliwal and Fritz Berenyi had strong games on the 9-5-4 North Country defence in front of goalie Dave Rundall. Sleeman’s Man of the Match Henk Bosman had the only goal for the 4-14 accountants on a sneaky free kick. Rumour has it, North Country is still in the process of setting up a wall. Keeper Pete (The Heat) Richter was fabulous for Bosman, while the back four of Alex Deboersap, Erick Burnet, Chris Nielsen and Bob Fleming were rock steady.
Lake Country blanks Salmon Arm After missing five games to injury, Bruce McAuliffe scored in his return to spark Lake Country FC to a 4-0 victory over Salmon Arm Monday on Marshall Field #5. In the second half, Lake Country (10-62) put the game away with a trio of goals. Mike Ley, on a brilliant run, Neil McNeil and Glen Heagle completed the scoring. Salmon Arm, now 7-9-2, had a few good chances in the first half, but struggled in their attack. Penticton kept its winning streak alive with a 3-0 victory over host Pushor Mitchell Advocates in Kelowna. Penticton (17-1) took the lead on a great shot by Kevin Kothlow that caught the Pushor Mitchell keeper off his line. In the second, Penticton upped the pres-

The Rented Mules continued their recent run of good form with a decisive 5-1 win over Rutland Spirit at Mission Sports Fields. The Mules’ Clarke Burnett headed home a Grant Turik free kick to open the scoring, and Dewayne Robinson chipped over the Rutland keeper to double the lead. Rutland opened the second half the better of the two teams, but were unable to break down the Mules’ defence, anchored by the always reliable Mike Daley. Harry DeHaas then took over for the Mules, clicking on three of four breakaways in the last 20 minutes. Rutland got a deserved consolation goal at the end, when Micha Yakonowsky tapped home a rebound following Mike Hrzic’s excellent save of a Roger Russell shot. Brandt’s Creek Pub forfeited their Monday nighter with Leko Precast Camels due to a lack of players. The Camels are 13-4-1, Brandt’s 5-11-2.
Celtic torch Kal Tire In Okanagan men’s 35+ play, Vernon Celtic carried on their winning ways with a convincing 6-0 victory over Vernon Kal
Tire on Marshall #2. The Celtic, coached by Kay Tolpinrud, rolled with a full squad to force the tempo in scorching heat. Goalie Ryan Sharp set up the opening goal by launching a long kick behind the Kal Tire defence. Bryan Schenker rushed onto the ball and rounded the goalie for the easy tap in. Schenker added another 10 minutes on a solo run that started in the midfield. Just before halftime, underrated midfielder Graeme McGee made a rush along the sideline, shed his marker and delivered a perfect cross to Rodney Goodchild for a gorgeous header just under the crossbar. Kal Tire, who dipped to 2-12-2, tested Sharp on several occasions in the second half and hitting the uprights twice. However, the 9-5-2 Celtic displayed some nice one-touch passing that resulted in Geoff Straight burying a top-corner strike past netminder Tim Clark. Kriss Yargeau and Tim McGowan, converting on a late penalty, completed the scoring. Ryan Leibel played a particularly strong game for the Celtic, covering multiple positions and making several key tackles on the swampy field.

Frank Harold Balsillie June 2, 1931 – August 6, 2012. With deep sadness, we share that Frank Balsillie passed away on August 6, 2012 at North Okanagan Hospice House in Vernon BC at the age of 81 after an unforgiving bout with pancreatic cancer. Frank was born in Fort Resolution, NWT, and moved with his family as a teen to Yellowknife. He enjoyed a successful career as a union welder/pipe-fitter, working in the Giant Yellowknife Gold Mine, on the D.E.W. Line, and in pulp & paper mills and oil & gas refineries across the country, advancing from journeyman to foreman, supervisor and superintendent. Frank enjoyed travel and visited many corners of the world, in later years spending winters in Mexico and Arizona. Above all, he loved country music and a good spin on the dance floor. We will forever remember Frank’s devotion to family and dedication to healthy living. His hospitality and congeniality shone through the instant smile that lit up his face to welcome you, always being the first to lend a hand, and his famous Annual Country Music Party and Barbecue. Most of all, Frank’s incredible courage, silent strength and faith were beyond measure in the face of the cruelest cancer diagnosis of all – the one that comes too late to be helped. Frank is predeceased by his parents, John and Margaret Balsillie, and siblings, Doris Balsillie, Eva McLeod, Darlene Clunie, and Kenneth Balsillie and brother-in-law, Fred Tippie. Frank is survived by his partner, Verna McFarland, his children, Gail and Mark Balsillie, and his siblings, Mary (Max) Andersen, Patrick Balsillie, Tom (Sheila) Balsillie, Bridget Tippie, John (Mary Anne) Balsillie, and Bob (Linda) Balsillie. Sincere gratitude to hospice staff for their compassionate care, and for the love, support and prayers of family and friends through this difficult time. “Dad (Frank), with the dearest love and sweetest remembrances, we hold you in our hearts until we join you in heaven.” In sympathy, donations in Frank’s memory may be made to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network www.pancan.org 1-877-272-6226, Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation www.IBelieveIt.ca, North Okanagan Hospice Society, www.nohs.ca, or to the charity of your choice. No service by request.
Terence Alan (Terry) Upton Terry was born on May 11th, 1941 in Kelowna, B.C. and died on August 13th, 2012 in the Kelowna General Hospital. He spent his ¿rst eight years in Kelowna, then lived in Kamloops until 1956. He attended Stuart Wood, Allan Matthews Elementary and Kamloops High. His family then returned to Kelowna where he graduated from High School in 1960. Terry received his Bachelor of Education from UBC in 1967. Terry’s passion for everything he did was contagious, inspiring others to be the best they could be. He began his teaching career in Dawson Creek and Victoria; then transferred to the Surrey School District in 1969. One of his dreams was to cruise the South Paci¿c. It started with a 29-foot sailboat, “Monashee”, after which came “Spellbinder”, a 45-foot ferro-cement sailboat that he and his wife, Kathy, spent six years constructing. In 1979, Terry, Kathy and their six-year old daughter Sian, sailed out of False Creek Marina, ostensibly for a one-year cruise. Ten years passed before the family returned home. They explored French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, Tonga, New Zealand, Fiji, New Caledonia, Australia, Vanuatu and Papua New Guinea. In Papua New Guinea, Terry taught Geography at Lae International High School and later became the Deputy Headmaster. When Terry and family returned home in 1988 he resumed his career with the Surrey School District and completed his Masters of Education at the University of Oregon. He served as Vice-Principal of Princess Margaret Secondary and Clayton Heights Secondary, then was appointed Principal of Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary. Terry retired in 2003 to Vernon, B.C. He became an avid Vernon Vipers fan, traveling to the Canadian Championships several times. He was an active participant in the Society for Open Learning Discussion (S.O.L.D.) of which he was out-going president. Terry was a natural leader and touched many lives. He is survived by his wife Kathy, his daughter Sian, his sister Joan (Brian) Glan¿eld, 4 nieces, a nephew, extended family members, and numerous friends and colleagues. Terry was predeceased by his parents Maurice and Donna Upton. Cremation preceded a Memorial Service celebrating Terry’s life which will be held at Bethel Funeral Chapel on Saturday, August 25th, 2012 at 2:00 P.M. with Mr. Brian Jackson of¿ciating.

An abundance of Okanagan fruit is increasingly available. Nectarines and peaches have joined late-season cherries at local fruit stands and grocery stores. “Weather was favourable for peaches and nectarines growing season so consumers can expect the quality consistent with the B.C. Tree leaf,” said Chris Pollock,
B.C. Tree Fruits marketing manager. “Peaches and nectarines will be available until mid-September.” There is also an ongoing focus on late-season cherries. “They are superior in quality and size compared to some of the earlier harvested cherries,” said Pollock. Growers are also now turning

IHA dials into baby care Morning Star Staff
For pregnant women, information, resources and services to get the best start for mom and baby are just a quick phone call away. The Interior Health Authority has launched a prenatal registry service for Vernon and Central Okanagan communities like Lake Country. “Some may be calling to sign up for prenatal classes, others may have questions about healthy eating and some may just want to know what supports are available in their communities,” said Anne Clarotto, promotion and prevention program director. “Instead of calling a few places to get this information they can now call one number. It’s like a one-stop shop for a healthy pregnancy.” The prenatal registry is confiden-
tial and available at 1-855-868-7710. When a woman calls the toll-free number she will speak directly with a public health nurse who can answer her questions and connect her with supports and services that meet her individual needs. A wide range of information and resources are available in areas such as nutrition, tobacco use, substance abuse, sexual health, safety, immunization, breastfeeding, parenting and more. The prenatal registry will operate from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday to Friday. The service is available for all pregnant women in the pilot communities. IHA plans to expand the service to all other communities in early 2013. For more information, go to www. interiorhealth.ca/prenatalregistry.
