Warning issued after scam targets grandparent RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Another Vernon senior has become the victim of the grandparent’s scam. On Aug. 20, a woman received a call from a man insisting that he was her grandson and that he required money because he was in jail in Quebec. “They tug at the heart strings and the
individuals (scam artists) are very slick,” said Gord Molendyk, with the Vernon RCMP. The woman immediately went to a financial institution and wired $4,600. “The teller questioned her a bit but she carried on which is sad,” said Molendyk. “The tellers are hearing the information going out (about these incidents) and they have tried to assist.”
It’s not known if the caller was actually calling from Quebec. “Once the money is wired, it can be picked up anywhere in Canada,” said Molendyk. There have been about 10 similar phone scams in the North Okanagan in the last year, and Molendyk says the criminals continue to prey on people. “We’re trying to slow it down as much as

we can but it happens.” Molendyk is urging local seniors to do some research when they receive a phone call from someone claiming to be a grandchild and needing money. The first step, according to Molendyk, should be to contact the family to ensure that the story being presented on the phone is legitimate.

News Coroner reviews remains
FINAL PARADE
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
It’s not yet known if remains found in a rural Lumby area are those of a man missing for a year. On Aug. 14, skeletal remains were discovered off of Trinity Valley Road. “It’s a coroner’s case for identification and it could take a little while to identify the individual,� said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesman. It’s believed DNA will be used as part of the identification process. The RCMP won’t speculate on whether the remains belong to Cory Romanick, a 21-year-old who is believed to have left his Trinity Valley Road residence on foot sometime after 10 p.m. June 21, 2009. “We will start with those individuals reported missing to us. If not, we will have to expand our search,� said Molendyk. Romanick’s family reported him missing the morning of June 23, 2009 and despite an intensive ground search of Trinity Valley, he was not found. Molendyk says the remains are at least a year old.

Morning Star Staff
“With the loss of Antwerp Springs, we did not have enough water available for that zone,� said Cotsworth, adding that certain water pressure is needed in emergencies. “We were very concerned about fire flows.� Cotsworth added that Duteau and Kal Lake are about the same when it comes to turbidity issues and Kal was worse than Duteau for bacteriological samples in July. One of the other reasons for moving away from the East Kal Lake intake is that the infrastructure is aging and needs to be replaced. It’s expected that constructing a new building and intake would cost about $800,000. The new Duteau Creek water treatment plant is currently being tested and it’s expected to be on line sometime in September. It should deal with concerns about turbidity and yellow colour. “It will supply clear water to the district’s customers,� said Arnold Badke, NORD’s general manager of engineering.

Sue Stewart heads out for a day of fun during a group ride as part of this year’s ATV/ BC annual general meeting.
ATV enthusiasts hitting the trail JESSICA SCHWITEK Morning Star Staff
The sound of revved-up engines echoed as more than 100 all-terrain vehicle enthusiasts took to the hills near Lavington on Friday during this year’s ATV/BC Annual General Meeting. “It’s not all adrenaline-junkies,” said Clint Ingham, member of the Vernon ATV Club. “It’s about getting out and enjoying nature.” There were numerous groups heading out on Friday, one travelling as far as 150 kilometres away. The purpose of ATV/BC is to create a province-wide community while promoting safe and environmentally responsible practises within the sport. The various clubs throughout the province spend countless hours mapping out safe routes. “ATVing has a bit of a bad rap,” said Ingham, citing the younger, more reckless riders as the reason for the poor stereotype. And injuries do tend to occur, especially when riders are being mindless, but not as often as people think. “I had an accident last year,” said Ingham. “So I changed my riding behaviour a bit.” But for the most part, especially within the organized clubs, injuries are rare. “I can only remember one that had the potential to be really bad, and that was years ago,” said Joyce Kavalinas, president of the Sicamous
Quaders ATV Club. All riders are required to wear helmets, as well as boots, gloves, and long pants and sleeves. The sport is as dangerous or as safe as you want to make it. “One of our mottoes is, if you don’t feel right doing it, don’t do it,” said Kavilinas. The sport has a devoted following, and is holding steady in terms of its popularity, but Vernon seems to be a bit ahead of the curve in that department. “We have one of the largest clubs in the province,” said Ingham of the Vernon ATV Club, hovering at around 140 members. “This is a really great area for it.” And also contrary to popular belief, it is not a sport with a narrow following. The diversity of the participants is growing. “It’s becoming more and more a family sport,” said Debbie Walker, an avid ATVer. She, along with her husband and two daughters, make it out to many of the ATV/BC events. “It’s really fun,” said Walker’s daughter, 12-year-old Martina. With younger members joining the clubs, safety becomes even more important. The Vernon club offers safety courses for anyone wanting to learn how to be safe, while still having fun. For more information on the Vernon ATV Club and the safety courses they offer, go to www.vernonatvclub.ca.

A much loved side dish with summer meals is good old-fashioned corn on the cob. Farm fresh summer corn is amazing on the BBQ and fits in perfectly with any summer menu! Corn can be a very healthy part of a balanced diet as its dietary profile includes vitamin B1, folate, fibre, vitamin C, phosphorus, and manganese. Fresh cracked pepper is a favourite topping (along with the butter and salt) and is a great way to add tons of flavour. Let your creativity run wild in the kitchen and discover what else you can top your corn on the cob with!

Police officers locate stolen car High speed wasn’t the only thing facing police when a vehicle was pulled over Sunday. Officers were conducting routine checks in the 6100 block of Pleasant Valley Road when they noticed a brown Grand Marquis doing 80 in a 50-kilometre-an-hour zone. The officers soon discovered that the vehicle had been stolen from the Westside Road area Aug. 15, and the driver — a 37-year-old woman — initially gave a false name. They also determined the 23-year-old man in the passenger’s seat was out on a bail order not to be in Vernon. The woman is now facing charges of possession of stolen property
and possibly obstruction for presenting a false name.

Doug Dirk cautioned his colleagues not to take too hard of a stance with NORD and pointed out that Coldstream is part of the regional district. “NORD isn’t a separate entity. It’s a grouping of municipalities,” he said. “You can bash NORD but you’re really bashing yourself.” Some boaters are upset that they’re being portrayed as being reckless and abusive to residents on Kalavista Drive. “We are predominantly families who reside in Coldstream and Greater Vernon wanting to access our neighborhood lake to enjoy a day of boating,” said resident Brent Vinoly in a letter to council. “We now feel under attack by our neighbors and municipal government for participating in this activity. This is

abusive, unfair and not right.” Vinoly also questions why council is so focused on the launch issue and why boaters aren’t represented on the committee. “Have you considered that the views expressed by these committee members may be out of touch with what the majority of residents in the area feel?,” he said. “I say this because the views of this committee do not align with those found in the results of the resent Kalavista survey. This survey found that 77 per cent of residents supported the launch and that 63 per cent were boat owners.”

Grits roll through town
I
t was the moment local Liberals had been eagerly waiting for and they weren’t left disappointed. Party leader Michael Ignatieff had hardly got through the door at Turtle Mountain Estate Winery Monday when he was surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd of about 150. Liberal red was awash on everything from T-shirts and dresses to hats (except for Ignatieff who wore jeans and a checked-shirt — the official garb for any politicians touring the Interior). Once out on the deck overlooking the city and Okanagan Lake, Ignatieff Richard Rolke continued to turn on the charm. “This might be the most beautiful stop on the tour,” he extolled. He then went on to regale the crowd with stories of meeting a local veteran while at a fruit stand. Next was how he called the B.C. Wildfire Centre to see how the crews are doing. His calls for people to keep the firefighters in their thoughts was met with loud applause. “We’re fighting as Canadians and we’re winning as Canadians,” he said of the battle in the woods. But the energy stepped up a notch when Ignatieff turned his sights on those bullies who brought the Natural Governing Party’s hold on power to an end — the Conservatives. And they were easy shots — areas where Stephen Harper’s policies have been clearly exposed as weak and not well thought out. Not a punch was missed — prorogation, climate change, ignoring court directives, the census, firing people who disagree with them. Just seconds after dropping Wilfred Laurier’s name, Ignatieff championed the longstanding Liberal mantra that it’s the only true national party. “We’re the big red tent at the centre of Canadian life,” he said, urging dissatisfied

Conservatives, as well as New Democrats and Greens, to join him. “There is no Conservative country. There is no Liberal country. There is no NDP country and there’s certainly no Bloc Quebecois country. There’s only one country.” It was evident that Ignatieff is a dynamic speaker, he’s charismatic and he has a real passion for what he’s doing. But it was also abundantly evident that anyone expecting deep political dialogue on this whistlestop wasn’t going to get it. Except for slamming the Conservatives for not believing “the evidence before its eyes,” no concrete solutions on how to address global warming were presented. Concern about the lack of funding for First Nations education wasn’t followed up by what the Liberals would do. Perhaps it was because he was just a few feet away from grape vines and apple trees, but much of Ignatieff ’s focus was on agriculture and how to support farmers. “Let’s get the branding right so we can promote a great product,” he said. More awareness is all well and good, but there are already stickers on fruit identifying them as being from B.C. As much as we talk about buying local, most consumers care more about the price than where the apple or peach came from. There was absolutely no mention of restricting fruit dumped into Canada by other nations, or providing financial assistance to orchardists nailed by deteriorating prices. And when it came to the Liberal fortunes locally, Ignatieff didn’t ignore the fact that this hasn’t been the most receptive place in Canada. But besides citing apparent voter discontent with the Conservatives, he didn’t reveal how the Liberals will win a riding where it placed fourth (even behind the Greens) in 2008. Some will say that his less than an hour in Vernon wasn’t the time to be presenting policy statements, but if Ignatieff is truly interested in being prime minister, voters have to be offered more than feel-good platitudes.
One can certainly understand the frustration coming from Coldstream politicians over 145 properties being switched from the East Kalamalka Lake water source to Duteau Creek. Phones have been ringing off the hook since the North Okanagan Regional District made the move. Many of these residents have discovered what longtime Duteau customers have known for years - the water can be mirky and yellow. Obviously residents and the politicians were caught off guard and NORD staff should have done a better job of trying to communicate the change. That said, high demand for water on the East Kal source meant a quick decision had to be made to ensure proper flows not only to homes but more importantly to fire hydrants. It should also be pointed out that these customers used to receive a mix of water from East Kal Lake and Antwerp Springs. As we all know, Antwerp Springs is no longer available because of contamination earlier this year. That means the East Kal intake — which is small and in need of replacement — couldn’t keep up on its own. If all goes well, the new Duteau Creek treatment plant will be on line this fall and water quality for everyone will improve significantly. It’s also unfortunate that some politicians have painted NORD staff as the bad guys when, in fact, some of the individuals who played a key role in switching over the water sources were Coldstream employees. Could NORD have done better in spreading the word about the new water source — obviously. But council needs to understand that running a utility is more technical than they’re aware of.

Leadership at city hall lacking
I
am amazed at the confusion and misinformation that emanates from city hall when questions arise over their actions. Lately, some council members have been trying hard to defend themselves against charges of creating an out-of-control, bloated bureaucracy by suggesting there is little they can do about it other than spend more money to attract more, and supposedly, better employees. The game seems to be one of obfuscation based on trite phrases, sound bites and folksy comment as opposed to dealing with issues or trying to at least look like they have an interest in fiscal responsibility. The community isn't falling for it any longer, however, so the mayor and councillors should quickly change their tone, become more fiscally responsible and at least try to display an iota of leadership if they have any plans to continue with political careers. Ballooning payroll costs eventually have to be covered, of course, so we can expect a new round of cost increases to cover council's lack of fiscal responsibility. The most obvious and recent example is the 31 per cent increase in quarterly utility charges for garbage and recycling. There has been no change in service or work loads — the garbage truck still comes once a week (and it is the same old truck) and recycling still occurs biweekly (and it, too, is the same old truck) — so where does the extra 31 per cent go? To help cover costs of out-of-control growth of city staffing levels or for the never-ending series of consulting contract required to help prop up questionable decisions of council,
TRIALS OF MISSION HILL The difficulties of getting to and from our homes on a daily basis seem to be getting worse. It started out by taxing our patience by tearing up our back alley. This meant parking on the street and a different garbage pick-up location. Next, 34th Street, next to the Great Canadian Store has been out of commission for quite some time now causing residents to detour farther down the street that comes out at the Safeway store. Now, on the way home I noted that the bridge deck was torn up next to the Esso on 34th causing us another detour. Okanagan or 24th Avenue, as it is called, is also closed off so we cannot come back that way. Highway 97 South up the hill would be a route but the side next to the hospital is being torn up for a repave. Hmm, this is already a busy corridor that Mission Hill residents really try to avoid and this means it is to be busier. The only route is 25th out to Happy Days store and up to 24th Avenue, not-
perhaps? Why do we need more city employees when development and construction projects are in significant decline? More employees are required when population growth or economic activity is on the rise, not when jobs are disappearing and growth is stagnant or declining. Rather than providing us with foolish talk and trite phrases, I'd prefer that council release data comparing the number of building permits issued per year with the numbers of employees in place. That, at least, would match changing demand for services with demand on staff time. Proving such information for the years 2002 through 2009 would likely bring this debate to a quick close. According to an article in The Morning Star, building permits for single- and multi-family homes declined over 23 per cent from 2008 to 2009. The big ticket items — Sparkling Hill and VJH — are now done
ing you cannot turn left due to the road being closed for some type of repair. This has got to stop! The city planner should himself try to navigate this route. Tempers are wearing thin up here and we really would like you to finish one project before starting another. R & J Mallett VIPER BILLETS It is Viper-billeting time again! Our family began billeting Viper players in 2003. We have had the pleasure of getting to know, and come to love, some very wonderful young people that we otherwise would not have had the opportunity to meet. We become the 'family' they need when they are far away from home and need extra support through the rough times, and we are part of their cheering squad when they are celebrating the good times. We learn from them as well, as they fill our home with youthful exuberance and perspectives. We are pretty much empty-nesters at this point,
but by growing up through the billeting experience and sharing his home, our son has had the opportunity to develop some special bonds with his "bros." Our first billet has just signed a deal with an NHL team and two others have been drafted. We enjoy watching them develop as people, chase their hockey dreams, and if they are among the lucky few to actually skate in the big league we will be excited to watch them. The billeting experience has brought a lot of wonderful things into our lives, and we are thankful for answering that call-out for billet families. If your family is into hockey, enjoys watching the Vipers play, or would just like to help impact a young person's life in a positive way, consider taking in a Viper player. You might be adding a new dimension to your life, and be very happy that you did. Call Dawn, Mark or Jason c/o the Vipers Office at 250-542-6022. They would be very appreciative to hear from you.

or are winding down and there appears to be little positive economic news on the horizon. City hall tries their best to convince us that all is rosy but dark economic clouds seem to be gathering. Indeed, council's own residential development project — the Hesperia lands — was recently shelved to await better economic times. So, could someone please tell me, again, why payroll costs, hiring and staffing levels have been steadily increasing at city hall? Many of us have long suspected that the tail wags the dog in our fair city as council delegates far too much responsibility and control to non-elected staff. I am not sure if council can effectively direct staff to supply the above-noted statistical information to assess the appropriateness of staffing levels, but if they are unable to provide accountable direction to their managers (and have them respond appropriately), we should know this sooner rather than later. It appears that now is the time for residents to start looking ahead to the next city election and considering who among us will be capable of setting a clear and responsible fiscal plan for our community. We will all be worse off if spending and taxing controls aren't soon placed in the hands of more fiscally responsible and accountable individuals. While a few councillors seem to be trying, Vernon deserves much better leadership than we are currently getting. Lew V. Rossner
PEANUT POOL I am a parent who cares that the peanut pool is open until 7 p.m. I'd like to respond to the woman who stated that no one uses the peanut pool past 5 p.m. You are incorrect, the pool is used by many families and we are very grateful it is open. Frankly, we use the pool more often after 5 p.m than we do before 5 p.m. We frequently see friends and acquaintances there after work most are single parents or parents who both work full time (on a recent Wednesday there were about 30 people at the pool at 6 p.m.). We deeply appreciate that NORD has it scheduled to be open until 7 p.m. That being said, we, too agree that the pool should open on time, at 11 a.m. It is very difficult on the children that are excited to enter and are lined up before 11 a.m. only to have it open 30-40 minutes late. Hopefully this can be fixed before the end of the summer. Jason Gilbert

Lake controls scrutinized RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Coldstream’s attempt to flex some authority on Kalamalka Lake is heading back for refinement. Council rescinded second reading of a bylaw Monday that would give it control over structures on the shore and boats on the surface of the lake. Instead, details of the document will be scrutinized further. “This bylaw is important and we want to get it right,” said Mayor Jim Garlick. Council’s decision came after a public hearing in which a number of people expressed concerns about the bylaw. Jim Garlick “We’re supposed to use the public hearing and the information we heard so we can take a second look,” said Garlick. While the thrust of the bylaw is to regulate houseboats and heavy machinery on the lake, some lakeshore residents fear it could lead to people walking on the foreshore along their yards. “We will no longer feel a sense of security and privacy,” said Patricia Abbott. “Will you be asking people to remove fences or trees that impede people from walking in the foreshore area?” Questions arose over a possible ban on roofs or covered structures on docks and boat lifts. “You’ll be putting many docks in non-compliance,” said Mike Waberski. Peter Dooling says banning roofs on docks has nothing to do with protecting the environment or increasing public use of the lake. “It has a lot to do with restricting the recreational use of waterfront owners. It’s gone far too far,” he said. Dooling also believes the bylaw avoids the issue of non-lakeshore residents placing buoys in the lake to store boats for the summer. He expects the situation could get worse. “You will have hundreds of boats on the lake,” he said. The bylaw would also require stairs on docks so the public can still access the foreshore. “The idea of building stairs over docks raises liabilty concerns,” said Alistair Rees. Coun. Maria Besso says the district is just trying to get control over some issues like a piledriver that’s been floating on the lake for years, but the provincial government already has rules for public use of the foreshore. “Access to the foreshore has always been there in law. This isn’t a change,” she said of the bylaw. Coldstream is also looking at possibly working with the North Okanagan Regional District to get a license of occupation for Kalamalka Lake to protect water intakes.
WORK BETWEEN CLOSED PLAY.
“We’d like to limit activities around the intake,” said Garlick. “If there was a (fuel) spill, it would shut down the water source to much of Greater Vernon.”

Morning Star Staff
A marijuana grow-op has been shut down in Vernon. Police conducted a search of a home in the 4500 block of 29th Street Aug. 20. Inside, they found 86 plants and grow equipment. “There was a report from concerned residents in the area,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesman. The two occupants of the house — a 36-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman — were taken into custody. They have been released and they will appear in court at a later date.

REGIONAL DISTRICT OF NORTH OKANAGAN
Notice of Change of Water Service to Customers of Central Coldstream Due to the cooling weather trend there has been a slowdown in the demand to the water system. As a result, staff at the Regional District of North Okanagan are directing water system operators to alter system operation in central Coldstream. System changes will slow the Àow of Duteau water into central Coldstream, and will allow Kalamalka Lake water to reach areas further east.
Customers on Kalamalka Road located west of Aberdeen Road, and customers located west of McClounie Road, in the neighborhood of Tassie Drive, Cactus Drive, etc., may see changes to water quality on a daily basis for the next few weeks as demands change. This changeover will take place on or about August 25, 2010. During the shoulder season when water demands are variable the boundary between the various water sources will be constantly changing and customers will experience different water sources from time to time. For more information, please visit our website at www.rdno.ca or contact our of¿ce at 250-5503700.

The above procedure is the reverse of the one that had to be implemented earlier this year when demands to the water system were increasing.
R355 Enterprises Ltd., working for the City of Vernon, will be reconstructing the infrastructure on 29 Street from 43 Avenue to 45 Avenue: Construction on 29 Street at 43 Avenue is scheduled to begin the week of August 23, 2010 and it will result in minor delays to local traffic. Detours will be in effect for the duration of the project. For further details of the project please contact Rob Fortuin, P. Eng., at Focus Corporation phone: 250-980-5500. The City of Vernon would also like to remind drivers to obey posted construction signage and slow down through detour routes and construction zone.

Sparkling Hill, Bounty join in wine, wellness Morning Star Staff
A Vernon resort is officially joining forces with a Kelowna winery. Sparkling Hill Resort has entered into a strategic alliance with Bounty Management Group. “We were extremely fortunate in having the friendship and guidance of Ron Pennington and his Bounty team,” said Hans-Peter Mayr, Sparkling Hill chief executive officer. “We are very confident that our European style of doing things, and vast experience in
the wellness area, will achieve success in North America, but without the kind of guidance and support people like Ron have provided, we would still be trying to navigate a path through the cultural, government and business differences.” Sparkling Hill is a $122 million resort and wellness centre while Bounty Group has produced award-winning wines since it was founded in 2004. The strategic alliance is focused on working
with various governments and institutions, developing signature wines, networking with similar resorts within B.C. and the Pacific Northwest, integrating with mainstream B.C. corporate life and serving as a resource for Sparkling Hill’s marketing, sales and public relations personnel.
“This is a relationship for us that has been more a matter of evolution than negotiation,” said Ron Pennington, president of Bounty Management Group. “I became so inspired by the vision of Hans-Peter Mayr and his associates as this resort developed, we found ourselves not just

Investigating: fact from fiction The Morning Star makes inquiries after Vernon police receive reports of squealing tires and screaming
KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
It’s not every day the arts reporter for a community newspaper receives a police report on her desk, but that’s exactly how it happened Monday morning. Here’s what it read: “The RCMP received a report of screaming and speeding vehicles near the parkade Sunday, and that led the police to investigate.” Thinking this was some sort of joke, she decided to investigate herself, well she asked her cohort, who is covering court and police this week, to investigate it further. Wanting to separate fact from fiction, like any good crime reporter would, it turned out there wasn’t a theft or murder in progress, but the filming of a movie. DONNA VANDERLIP All this led RCMP spokesman Gord Tracy Ross (Maggie Barrow) and Denis Counds (Dr. Russel Taylor), left, get ready to race in a 1967 Camaro along 30th Avenue with Matt Brown (Steve Molendyk to say the resident who made the Penner), in the 1966 Ford Fairlane, for Sunday’s pilot shoot of Typecast the movie. call did the right thing by reporting a posit cost to produce a self-made film for x Stanfield Granger, while Kelowna actress sible crime. amount of dollars, and how much it would Tracy Ross is Maggie Barrow, a no-nonsense “I’m glad somebody did call it in,” he take to make a feature digitally.

A local musician is planning to release a few fireworks of his own with the recent announcement he has been nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award. Vernon’s Jon Buller was recently nominated in the contemporary Christian/gospel recording of the year category for his CD, Light up the Sky. What makes this nomination particular noteworthy is the awards ceremony and accompanying festival, entitled BreakoutWest, is taking place right here in the Okanagan from Oct. 21 to 24. “A special bonus for me is that the awards ceremony will be held in Kelowna, right here in the Okanagan, so I’ll be able to attend and will be proud to represent the area,” said Buller when contacted by The Morning Star. “I’m also glad to be part of the WCMAs because I believe music is meant to be a positive influence in the world, no matter what genre it is.” Recorded late last year at Vancouver’s

It’ll be a night to look up to when the Vernon Public Art Gallery hosts its second annual all-ages summer wrapup party, Riot on the Roof, Saturday. The event is once again taking place downtown on the roof of the parkade above the gallery on 31st Avenue, and is celebrating and showcasing local performers, visual artists, poets and writers. “This event is a great opportunity for the gallery to showcase and celebrate local artistic talent in musical performances, artistic videos, interactive literary projects, performance art and much more,” said the gallery’s curatorial assistant Cyan Kregosky. Entertainment will be provided by local musicians including Poor Little Rich Girl, Sharks on Fire, Waste, Rhapscallions, Fields of Green, Jodi Pederson, Tom Andrews, Melissa Yano and others. Six pieces of large-scale art will also be on display. “These pieces were created by local artists at a pre-event called, Take Part
in Street Art, which the gallery hosted,” said Kregosky. “These pieces were created with acrylic paint on four-byeight sheets of plywood.” Videos will be shown by the Centre for Arts and Technology and Brian Gotro, while local writers Kevin McPherson and Jake Kennedy will be working on their interactive literary project. Visitors should also look out for some yard bombing by guerilla knit artist Knitified, a jewelry design display by Hot Peace as well as live painting by local artist and educator Brian Monteith. “Come out and support alternative art and local talent while enjoying music, videos, interactive pieces and performance art,” said Kregosky. “This is a free event, for all ages. The gallery also wishes to thank local businesses who supported this event with donations.” Riot on the Roof takes place from 8 p.m. to midnight Saturday. Visit the gallery’s website at www.vernonpublicartgallery.com for more information.

WINDOW GLASS
Don’t Let Your Windows Leave You In A Fog Dirty Foggy Windows
Many homes built between the late 70s and the early 90s experience sealed unit failure. Unit failure leads to condensation forming between the two layers of glass causing them to steam and fog up.
Is There a Solution?
Yes, the only real solution is to replace the sealed unit. You only need to replace the glass not the frame which means it can be done easily with a minimum amount of disruption.

Airport plans for winter Morning Star Staff
Kelowna International Airport is already thinking winter — winter destinations, that is. The airport announced an earlier start to its winter schedule to Mexico with WestJet providing six months of service from YLW to Cancun, Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos beginning the first week of November. Charter service to Mexico will also be offered by Transat Holidays/ Nolitours and Sunwing Tours running Dec. 18 until March 31. Traditionally, nonstop service to Las Vegas didn’t begin until January and offered late night departures and early morning arrivals. This season, WestJet is offering afternoon arrival and departures twice a week beginning in November until the end of April.

Brendan Love canned a pair of goals, including the winner in extra time, as Monashee Surveying upended No. 3-seeded Nation of Domination Eagle Homes 3-2 in North Okanagan Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Soccer League first-round playoff action Sunday night in Salmon Arm. Trailing 2-0 early in the second half, Love put the No. 6 Monashee crew on the board with a nice solo rush, finishing with a low strike to the left corner. An Eagle Homes keeper-turned-defender suffered a brain cramp in the dying minutes as he handled a corner kick inside the 18. Devon Marriott converted the resulting penalty kick for the equalizer. In extra time, Tom Johns started a great series of one-touch passing, sending a ball up to Rodney Goodchild, who set up Loveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winner. Courvas F.C. moved one step closer to protecting their league crown as they grounded Turn-Key Controls 1-0 Sunday night at Little Mountain Park in Salmon Arm. No. 5-ranked Turn-Key came out hard, carrying the play for the first 10 minutes. Despite the early advantage, No. 4 Courvas opened the scoring off a 10th-minute corner, banking a shot in off goaltender Jeremy Kler during a goalmouth scramble. In the second half, Courvas began to carry the bulk of the play, but were unable to put one past Kler and the steady defence of Tyler Flood, Kevin Fresorger, Nathan Tucker, Greg Finch, Rob McGloin and Kyle Goodgrove. Turn-Keyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Matt Wylie narrowly missed
tying the game on a shot that the Courvasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goaltender got just enough of to trickle the ball along the goal line and out for a corner. With their season on the line, TurnKey pressed and midfielders Wylie, Preston Tucker, Chris Harris, Evan Moore and Patrick Egan generated chances for themselves and strikers Cam Egan and Chris Jahnig. Team manager Taylor Horsting, who was lost near the end of the first half to a knee injury, thanked Turn-Key Controls for the sponsorship. Courvas will face NET in semifinal action tonight at Marshall Field #4. NET roasted Davidson Dyanamite 5-0 Sunday night at Marshall #4. Leading 1-0 with about 20 minutes to go, the timber crew exploded for four late goals to seal the win. Geoffrey Cox and Brad Deboice generated several scoring chances for Davidson, while Jesse Knight was rock solid on the Nitro backline. Facing the No. 1 Revelstoke Stallions without several key players in the lineup proved costly for No. 8 Concept Physio. The host Stallions racked up three firsthalf goals en route to a 4-1 decision Sunday night at Queen Elizabeth Park. Despite playing without subs, Concept fared better in the second half, but they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find the lucky breaks to mount a comeback. Brock Reim, who scored the physio crewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone goal, was an absolute force in the game. Mac Campbell and Eric Ius also turned in solid efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played hard, but without subs and

Dr. Lee Dental/Checkers squeaked out a 3-2 win over IRL Blazers in the final of the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Competitive Division year-end playoff tournament Sunday at Marshall Field #4. Alanna Rehman opened the scoring 10 minutes in when she hustled to the net on a Kim Teichman cross and deflected the ball in after keeper Toni Bensmiller mishandled the ball. Five minutes later, Tiechman broke in on a breakaway after Jacquie Hansen sprung her with a nice pass. The Blazersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Delinah Erbanich made it 2-1 on a penalty
kick just before halftime. Shortly after missing an open net, Rehman made it 3-1 after an Ally Dodds cross, but Erbanich once again closed the gap with a breakaway goal. The pub crew defence of Bobbi Cormier, Dana Reid, Irene Arrotta and Cindy Worth held strong to give the team their 18th playoff championship dating back to 1986.

Champness chases fifth
Sun QB departs
Morning Star Staff
Black Press Sports
Vernon’s Nathan Champness was the top local at the Pushor Mitchell Kelowna Apple Triathlon Sunday morning in Kelowna. The 26-year-old secured fifth overall, completing the Olympic distance course (1,500-metre swim, 40-km bike, 10-km run) in two hours and 59 seconds. Nathan White of Tuscon, Az. was first overall in 1:57:13. He was followed by Jan Francke of Squamish (1:58:28) and Guelph’s Mark Linesman (1:59:34). Vancouver’s Stephanie Keiffer was the top female at 2:11:55, while Vernon’s Sarah Clark was fifth at 2:17:39. In age-group action, Vernon’s Dave Dawson (men’s 55-59) won his group in 2:17:06, and Jennifer Bond (women’s 30-34) placed second in 2:25:23. Other local athletes earning top-10 age-group placings included Craig Goplen (men’s 50-54, 2:24:46), and Laura Medcalf (women’s 30-34, 2:36:45). The Apple also represents both the Canadian National Triathlon Championships and the ITU Kelowna Pan American Cup, which drew a worldclass field of nearly 100 Elite racers. Pre-race favourites, Paula Findlay and Simon Whitfield, lived up to their billing, winning the women’s and men’s titles respectively. Whitfield, who won silver at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, defended his 2009 title by finishing just 20 hundredths of a second ahead of teammate Kyle Jones. Marcus Fernandus of Brazil followed in third.
The greener pastures Taylor Potkins was looking for weren't located in Kelowna after all. Disenchanted with a lack of playing time as the backup to Bobby Davis, the 20-yearold quarterback from Surrey has decided to leave the Okanagan Sun. The 6-foot-4, 220-pound Potkins requested his release on Monday, two days after helping the Sun to a 50-0 win over the Huskers in Chilliwack. "It doesn't surprise me," Sun head coach Peter McCall said of Potkins' departure. "He's been hemming and hawing for a while about his role here, and I guess he just wasn't satisfied. He asked for his release and we've granted it to him."

Vernon’s Nathan Champness rounds a corner during the bike portion of the Pushor Mitchell Apple Triathlon Sunday morning in Kelowna. The 26-year-old finished the Olympic distance course fifth overall. Since only Canadians can place in the national championships, Andrew Russell’s sixth place overall earned him third place. In women’s action, a trio of Under 23 racers swept the podium. Findlay, 21, was followed by Kirsten Sweetland of Canada and Flora Duffy of Bermuda in a race that featured 26 women from six countries. Chantal Widney, fourth overall, grabbed the third
Elite Canadian spot. With more than 1,800 event entries for the threeday event, and close to 1,200 volunteers, the Kelowna Apple is not only the largest Canadian triathlon, but also one of the best organized events in the country. It was also the final preparation for Canada’s Elite and age-group athletes who will be participating in the ITU Triathlon World Championships in Budapest this September.

MacDonald enjoys Minto ride GRAEME CORBETT
As hosts of the four-team tournament, the A’s would have competed in the Minto Cup regardless of their playoff run, but rather than take the easy route, Coquitlam won the BCJLA title, icing the New Westminster Salmonbellies 4-1 in the best-of-seven series final. New Westminster advanced as runners-up. “It was great, I had never won a league title before,” said MacDonald, who billets with his aunt and uncle, Diane and Frank Bell, in Port Coquitlam. “It was better to earn our way than get a backdoor (berth).” With a trio of goalies on the Coquitlam roster, MacDonald has had to share netminding duties throughout the playoffs. Like anyone with a competitive streak, MacDonald would prefer to have a clear-cut role as the starter, but realizes the coaches will likely roll with whoever is hot. “In the playoffs we rotated, but now it’s just whoever is winning. Whatever is best for the team is the most important thing,” he said. Besides, MacDonald has shown more than once in the playoffs that he can come off the bench to save a game. He is ready to go if called upon. “I don’t mind at all. To me, it’s no different than starting a game,” he said. Dan Lewis, a Coquitlam product, earned the wins as the Adanancs opened the Minto Cup with pair of wins last weekend at the Coquitlam Sports Centre. MacDonald played the final 6:21 of the first game, a 12-8 win over the Okotoks Raiders Saturday night. It was a feisty affair that featured six third-period fights and 160 combined penalty minutes. They outgunned the Salmonbellies 11-7 in the second tilt Sunday night. In their final round-robin contest, Coquitlam tangled with the two-time defending national champion Orangeville Northmen of Ontario Tuesday night. The round-robin winner will advance to the best-of-three championship series, which starts Friday. The loser faces the third-place team in

In Brod We Trust – Brodie MacDonald’s e-mail handle pretty sums up his role as a lacrosse goalie. It also describes the attitude that has carried the Vernon product far in one of sport’s most thankless positions. Even when MacDonald started playing junior lacrosse as a 14-year-old, facing shooters six years his elder, he was unflappable. When asked if he ever felt intimidated going up against veteran snipers, MacDonald shrugged: “Not really. There were a couple guys... Alex Turner (Kamloops product now playing in the National Lacrosse League), I got lit up by him a couple times when I was young.” However, the snipers who faced MacDonald when he was a rookie probably wouldn’t even recognize him these days. But they would certainly notice him. Standing 6-foot-7 and weighing 260 pounds, he takes up a lot of net. “Size definitely helps. The more net you can take up the better. But I’m not clumsy like some big people. I don’t have those big flipper feet,” he chuckled. “It’s a lot of angles too. If you get out to take those angles away, you don’t have to move as much.” Now in his final year of junior, MacDonald, who turns 21 next month, finds himself in the hunt for a Minto Cup national junior A championship with the Coquitlam Adanacs. A second team all-star the last two seasons, MacDonald started the year with the Burnaby Lakers, but got dealt to the Minto host Adanacs at the trade deadline. “Our coaching staff kind of knew we weren’t going to have a run this year, so they offered me and a couple of our other 21-year-olds a chance to play in the Minto,” said MacDonald, a Vernon junior B Tiger grad who was named one of Canada’s top-five junior goalies, as voted by fans on NLL’s Insider Forum.

Sports Howard paces Camels
Potkins ponders football future Continued from B2
Gordie Howard supplied his 26th goal of the season as the Vernon Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels clipped host Salmon Arm 1-0 in Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League play Monday night. Howard headed in a cross from Rob Parkin 10 minutes into the second half. Rob Hulstein also drew an assist as the 17-1-1 Camels controlled the ball seconds after Al Murphy’s corker struck the cross bar before getting cleared from danger. Salmon Arm keeper Johnny Damon was stellar all night, coming out hard to beat the Camels to 50-50 balls and making a handful of tough saves, earning the Prestige Inn Man of the Match. Right winger Rick Raber enjoyed a fabulous second half for the Camels, running a series of balls to the far corner and then sending great crosses to the front of the net. Raber earned the Tita’s Man of the Match in front of keeper Dave Dutcher. Salmon Arm dipped to 5-14. Yogi Kongsdorf recorded the shutout as Big O Tire Ogopogos thumped Vernon Silver Stars 4-0 Monday night at Marshall Field #2. Kongsdorf got a little help from the crossbar, defender Dave Hampton on the goal line, and later by midfielder Paul Hunter. Leo Nadeau played a solid game, putting in a goal on a breakaway, as did Mark Wasylyk and Henry Czweronka. Parm Kler completed the scoring off a corner kick, putting his shot off of the finger tips of Stars’ keeper Ted Lurkin. Big O improved to 4-11-4. The Stars are 7-10-3. Okanagan Spring scored the opening goal, but went flat after that, falling 2-1 to Lake Country F.C. Monday at Marshall #1. After a moment of

Potkins went into Sun training camp as a legitimate contender for the starter's role, but faced the task of wrestling the job away from Davis, the Sun's backup the previous two seasons. Davis didn't falter and, by the second game of the regular season, had secured his position as the club's No. 1 man. As the backup, Potkins showed flashes in limited action, completing 11 of 17 passes for 196 yards and four touchdowns. Still, it wasn't enough to keep Potkins Potkins in orange and brown. "I wasn't happy because I wanted to get on the field a lot more than I did," said Potkins, who played last year for the Surrey Rams. "I knew it was a really good team and I came there to do some good things, but I wasn't able to do them. I guess you could say I was chasing a lost cause. They're a great organization and I enjoyed my time there…it just didn't work out." Potkins said he'll take a few days off to consider his future, but insists he wants to continue playing football. He admits rejoining his hometown Rams is at the top of his wish list.

A hemodialysis machine is an artificial kidney. At the kidney dialysis unit on 14th Avenue in Vernon, it means literally life to approximately two dozen residents of the area. According to the Kidney Foundation of Canada, hemodialysis is a last resort for those in later stages of chronic renal failure. At the centre, the nine stations stay busy. On the site, hemodialysis nurse Colleen Stewart said dialysis cleans the blood for those who don’t have kidneys. “Basically, for four hours, three times a week, blood is run through. The artificial kidney cleans toxins and water, and then replaces it to the body,” she said. “The majority of our patients are over 50 years of age and approximately ninety per cent older than 60 years. Some are in their 80s. “Younger people tend to get transplants easier. There are age and health criteria for transplants.” Stewart’s co-worker, Lana Flek, has been a hemodialysis nurse at the centre for seven years, and prior to that, she did the same work in Germany. “Patients who are younger can be trained to do home dialysis,” said Flek. “People here are usually sicker.” When a patient comes in, they are first weighed; following dialysis, they are weighed again. “People without kidneys don’t pee; lots of them put on as much as four kilos between sessions,” said Flek. A catheter, or graph, is inserted in the vessel system, usually in the neck close to the heart. These are not permanent, and are capped when not in use. These capped catheters create restrictions for the patients. They have to stay dry, so care has to be taken while showering to prevent infections. Swimming and bathing are not allowed at all. “There are other restrictions as well,” said Stewart. “One litre of fluids a day is recommended. Even fruits and vegetables have moisture so these have to be monitored.” Patients can try ice chips, frozen berries and frozen grapes to quench thirst. As for eating bananas, they’re not on the list, as they are too high in potassium, which can’t be cleansed out of the system. Dieticians help out here by visiting patients at the centre often. Individual diet plans are designed so eating can be both healthy and enjoyable. Vitamins can be prescribed as well. And finally, blood work is done monthly to monitor levels of food wastes as well as water retention. Also available are social workers. “End stages of life can have so many issues,” said Stewart. One of these issues is funding for driving, as some patients may no longer be able to drive themselves. And missing even one dialysis session is not an option. Another lifestyle change for those with

Len Johnson undergoes one of his tri-weekly dialysis sessions at the Vernon dialysis unit. renal failure is the freedom to travel. Some destinations do not even have dialysis centres. Whitehorse, for example is not a place that patients here can ever visit. In other areas it may take up to a year to be preapproved for appointments. As well, a patient has to be very stable so they can be moved to another site. One hemodialysis patient at the Vernon unit who is fortunate enough to travel is Len Johnson. He and his wife Dorothy have planned a visit to their daughter and two granddaughters in Edmonton. He has his appointments booked and is accustomed to the protocols. Now 81, he has been a patient at the unit for nine years. High blood pressure had damaged his kidney function. But Johnson does not find his tri-weekly sessions at the unit a restriction to his productive lifestyle. “When I am on dialysis, I have four hours of lying in a chair or bed to watch television or read or just take a long nap,” he said. “It boils down to mind over matter.” Johnson is well-known in Vernon, as the founder of the Garden Parlour. “Home of 58 flavours of ice-cream and a stream running through it,” he adds proudly. He attributes his success in the icecream business to being creative and being willing to josh with customers. He doesn’t mind coming to the centre because here he can also socialize with the other patients and the nurses. After his sessions, Johnson, like other
hemodialysis patients, is able to return to normal activities. He enjoys his off days weeding his garden, baking, and watching murder mysteries with his wife. Often when the weather is good, he enjoys a long trek on foot from his home in the BX to the dialysis unit. Johnson also has a definite view on accepting a kidney transplant. “It’s not worth asking that person – who might need it down the line. Life is your oyster; learn to live with what you have.” Nurses Stewart and Flek are fond of Johnson and their other patients. “We become very familiar with each other’s lives,” said Flek. “We see a lot of each other, and they become our family.” ■■■ The Vernon Kidney Walk takes places Sunday at the DND fields, with registration starting at 9 a.m. You can also preregister online at www.kidney.ca/bcwalk or e-mail Susan Mills at 250-308-5646 or susanm@telus.net to get a registration/ pledge form.

Fall fairs gearing up for the season
A
ll that work you put into your garden has paid off. Real good veggies picked fresh are at their best. The fall fairs are in swing on the September weekend. There will be some fine displays of tomato, onions, squash, potatoes and many others. It is great to see some gardeners with the competitive spirit. I am told this has been a bad season for the production of honey. Bees look for lots of blossoms
especially clover and dandelions. The hot dry weather has not produced the perfect condition for the honey bee. Later in the season, some wild plants like fireweed and golden rod produce some nectar. There are a great number of excellent melons at the farmers’ market. I am a little inclined to prefer muskmelons.
The tomato plants are now producing excellent vine-ripened tomatoes. I have had excellent success with a Fred Lyall variety called Celebrity, a nice apple size with very small cores. Okanagan Gardens and Roses meets Sept. 13 at 7:30 p.m. at the Schubert Centre. Visitors are always welcome. A new gardener called me recently
wanting to know when potatoes are ready to harvest. The ground around the plant will show a lot of cracks, and that’s one clue.
IN THE GARDEN
The search is on, as the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC) is once again searching for the nation’s “Gutsiest” Canadians. Canada has among the highest rates of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis in the world. There are more than 200,000 Canadians personally affected by Crohn’s and colitis and there is a much larger network of caregivers, friends, family and members of the medical community whose lives are dedicated to these diseases and who deserve to be recognized. Seven outstanding Canadians will be honoured in November as CCFC celebrates Crohn’s and Colitis Awareness Month 2010. Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis (UC) are two similar, yet distinct, conditions which directly affect the digestive system and cause intestinal tissue to become inflamed, form sores and bleed easily. There is no cure, no known cause, and little pub-
lic understanding of the pain and chronic suffering which IBD patients courageously cope with every day of their lives. If you know someone who bravely faces inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and is making a difference in their community or in the lives of others, or if you know someone who deserves recognition for their support of an individual with IBD, you are invited to nominate a member of the IBD community by completing the nomination form online at www. getgutsymonth.com. Entries will be accepted from Sept. 1 until Oct. 1. The CCFC is a volunteer-based, non-profit, medical research foundation dedicated to finding the cure for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. The foundation is committed to educating IBD patients, their families, health professionals and the general public about the diseases.For more information about CCFC, please visit www.ccfc.ca.
Volunteers needed for FRC program Morning Star Staff
If you have some extra time on your hands and a desire to give back to the community, the Family Resource Centre could use your help. The centre is now accepting applications for its Community Support Volunteer Program. Volunteers will receive more than 75 hours of training in order to assist people who are experiencing difficulty with issues such as life transitions, grief and loss, isolation, employment
and relationships. Training begins Oct. 26, with interviews starting in September. Applications can be picked up at #201, 3402-27th Ave. (the People Place) or downloaded from the website at www.vernonfrc.ca. A criminal record check is required.

Fresh peaches are ready for dessert
A
column from a couple of weeks ago gathered more interest than I may have anticipated, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to reiterate a couple of the things said. Firstly, I do support â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and have supported â&#x20AC;&#x201D; our local farmers and the Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market in this column for almost 13 years, and only twice in this time have I offered a criticism. I was pleased and surprised by the phone calls and e-mails I received regarding that column and appreciate Julie McLeanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter to the editor with her opinion, which incidentally, was the only negative feed-back I got. The Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market is not free of competitive marketing principles and it was local readersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; complaints that led me to compare prices in the first place. Secondly, I did not compare their prices to retail stores â&#x20AC;&#x153;opened year-round,â&#x20AC;? as McLean stated. All compared prices were confirmed as locally grown and, as stated in my column, were sell-

Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL
PUZZLE NO. 203
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) It would be best if neither you nor your mate react in a way that would stir things up, just to get what you want should a disagreement arise. If you can’t remain civil, don’t speak until your slow burn is gone.
ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203
HOW TO PLAY: Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: you must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box. 100118

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Be particularly careful not to disrupt a situation that is presently running smoothly. If you’re the one who disassembles the mechanism, you’ll have to take the fall. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Take care that you don’t come off as being too loud or too strong in a social situation, regardless of how much something annoys you. Friends will respond better to consultation than to rudeness. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Tyrannical reactions will make enemies within the workplace that aren’t likely to disappear in the near future. Wield your power to gain cooperation, not to antagonize. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) It’s your prerogative to endorse or champion an unpopular cause, but don’t expect others to easily accept your position. Don’t be angry with others for being independent and thinking differently. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Unless you are extremely careful regarding a critical, financial matter, you could draw the short straw as to who would take the loss. Do not leave anything to chance. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Be your normal, sweet self, because this is not the day to take a stance or be inflexible when dealing with others. There is likely to be someone who will react rigidly in response. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Unfortunately, if you’ve gone beyond the breaking point regarding taking care
of your responsibilities, you may have to pay the price. The costs will only go up further with delay. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Trouble is on the way if you inadvertently promised two separate friends who don’t get along that you would spend your free time with them. You’ll lose no matter which one you choose. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If anybody near and dear to you does something that displeases you, before responding, count to 10 or 50 in order to calm down. You’ll regret it if you fly off the handle. CANCER (June 21-July 22) It might fall to you to deal with a temperamental friend or family member on a certain topic or issue that always aggravates him/her. Remain calm regardless of the reaction you get. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Should you find business conditions to be a trifle trickier than usual to deal with, do all the listening to get a true slant on the problems. Don’t try to make any commitment until you have all the facts.

HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes and weight gain. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

Emma’s Nails Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder Our brains are wonderful. They can perform myriad tasks, usually without complaining. But sometimes, especially at the bridge table, they are found wanting. The defense in this deal from a social game in Oconomowoc, Wis., is an example. North used Stayman, then raised to game when South showed four hearts. If, though, South had rebid two diamonds, North would have jumped to three hearts, the Smolen convention, showing five spades, four hearts and at least game-forcing values. For details of this and other embellishments to simple transfers, go to my Web site: www. phillipalderbridge.com. East, knowing that his
partner had led a singleton, won with his spade ace and returned the spade nine. Yes, West ruffed, and, yes, West shifted safely to a diamond, but declarer won with dummy’s queen and played a trump. East won with his ace and tried another spade, but West didn’t have a trump left. South won, drew trumps, unblocked dummy’s diamond ace, ruffed a spade in his hand, discarded dummy’s low club on his diamond king, and claimed because dummy was high. East could see three defensive tricks, but knowing that West had only two trumps, East should have wondered where the fourth trick might come from. If he had, he would have noticed the advantage in shifting to a club at
trick two. In an ideal world, after South took that trick with dummy’s club ace and called for a trump, East would win with his ace, give his partner the spade ruff, and watch West cash the setting trick in clubs. And if West did not have a club trick to take, the contract was impregnable.

The family regrets to announce the passing of Arnie Lepp on Tuesday August 17, 2010 at Vernon Hospice House after a long battle with prostate cancer. Arnie was born June 9, 1935 in Winnipeg, Manitoba to the late Ernest and Annie Lepp. Arnie was the eldest of three boys and he grew up on the family farm in Alberta. He met and married his sweet heart Terry Zoratti on September 18, 1960. In the late 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arnie and Terry moved to Osoyoos. BC where they owned and operated the Richter Pass Motor Inn. In the early 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arn and Terry moved the family to Vernon. It was during that time that Arnie became an avid hang glider and golfer. Arnie was an entrepreneur at heart owning several businesses such as Arnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Yamaha Country and Gravel Inc. In 1994 when Terry passed away life changed for Arnie. It was at that time he chose to winter in Lareto. Mexico where he enjoyed the sunshine and doing what he liked best, golďŹ ng. Mexico was Arnieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home away from home and is the place where he met his partner of 8 years Mary Lou who predeceased him in 2008. During the summer months Arnie would return to Vernon to catch up with family and play many rounds of golf with his friends at Hillview Golf course. Arnie will be remembered for his quick wit, dry sense of humor and friendly nature. He will be fondly remembered by his four children Barry (Tamara), Kevin (Kathy), Curtis (Anita), Shari (Jay), 7 grandchildren and 1 great grandson and brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dave (Donna) and John (Marilou).

Cards of Thanks
The family of Jay Harper would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the many people who have offered condolences and friendship during this difficult time. The cards and floral offerings are greatly appreciated. We would like to thank the members of Coronation Lodge #48, the Odd Fellows, for their compassion and patience in ensuring that dad was able to continue to participate in as many Lodge functions as he was able to handle. A very special thank you to Erik & Pat Hejslet, Wes & Eleanor Higgins and Paul & Louise Eichinger for their true friendship and for going to any length, including taking it upon themselves to provide safe transportation for dad and for looking after him at the Lodge’s social events. We extend this thank you to the Odd Fellows and Rebekkah’s up and down the Okanagan Valley for visiting when they could and for their recognition of dad at his memorial service. Dad’s last year and half were made much more pleasant by the staff and residents of the Rose Swanson wing at Pleasant Valley Manor. Without the care and attention of these wonderful people, we don’t think dad would have rebounded from his stroke as well as he did. We would particularly like to thank Gail, Penny and Marie for their outstanding compassion and care during dad’s last week – you are truly an extension of our family. To those who spoke at dad’s memorial service, we thank you for your kind words. Thanks to Bea Hoyseth for her most appropriate song, Goodbye Silent Friend, as dad was truly a friend to all who knew him, as Bea knows so well. Dad always loved listening to Erik Hejslet play his saw and marveled at the talent required to do it well. Thanks, Erik, for your thoughtful choices and for participating in a day that was equally difficult for you. To Kelly Grittner, what can we say – a brilliant job as always with personal touches and thoughtful remembrances to make a difficult gathering into a truly individual service. Your song with Keitha and Penny was most appropriate, and even if dad never did find out who Neil Young is, we all join in your sentiment that long may Dad’s spirit run. We thank Kerry & Ryan Fox for their help in ensuring that dad’s snowmobile was present at the memorial service – good friends are those who can be called on at a moment’s notice and do whatever it takes to get something done. Last but most importantly, we cannot say enough about the kindness and compassion shown to us at all times by Wayne Kyle of Personal Alternative Funeral Services. His ability to accommodate our special request of having dad’s snowmobile displayed at the service, along with all of the other memorabilia we had on hand, shows a willingness to do whatever it takes to make a family comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. You truly possess a work ethic not seen much anymore.

We do not Price Match all items at all times; where we have Price Matched an item, it will be identified in-store. This is not a price match guarantee where we match any competitor price you find. PRICE CUT. Longer term price reductions on items identified in-store. “Items that matter most to you” refers to our top selling products. WEEKLY SPECIAL. Typically in effect from Friday to Thursday of each week on items identified in-store and/or in flyer.
