News Police investigating cause of fire RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A blaze that forced four people out of a Vernon shed may have been intentionally set. Firefighters were called to the 3100 block of 41st Avenue after receiving a report of a garage on fire at about 4:30 a.m. Friday. “It’s a suspicious fire that’s been turned over to the RCMP,� said Lawrie Skolrood, deputy chief, adding that the fire started on the exterior of the building. “There was no means of ignition at that point. It suggests it could have been set.� Four people, as well as a dog, were sleeping — Skolrood inside the shed when the fire broke out. “A neighbour heard an explosion, went outside and banged on the door. Everyone got out OK,� said Skolrood. The fate of the building is unknown. “There is enough damage that it’s questionable whether they will fix it up or tear it down,� said Skolrood. The Vernon RCMP detachment continues with its investigation.
“There was no means of ignition.�

Band ready to work with city on Kin Beach RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A dispute at a Vernon beach appears to be near resolution. The Okanagan Indian Band has agreed to the City of Vernon placing barriers on the reserve portion of Kin Beach on Lakeshore Road to restrict vehicles. “Both the safety of pedestrian beach-goers is paramount to the band and the city,� said Chief Byron Louis in a letter to the city. In 2009, the band’s then chief and council asked the city to abandon a $733,000 project that would have addressed safety concerns along the road. Council at the time also decided to close Lakeshore Road from Vernon Creek to Tronson Road but that never occurred. Current band staff recently met with their city counterparts to

Promises absent over meat rules RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
There was no guarantee of meat processing licences being issued. Regional District of North Okanagan representatives met with Health Minister Michael de Jong Friday to push for changes to provincial meat regulations. “We made the case for licences. He wants even more information on the market and who’s not being served,” said chairperson Patrick Nicol. RDNO wants the Ministry of Health and the Interior Health Authority to issue class D and E meat inspection licences in the region. A class D licence allows for the on-farm slaughter of up to 25 animal units with one animal unit equaling 1,000

pounds liveweight. That would mean 25 cows, 2,500 chickens, 40 pigs and 300 lambs. A class E licence allows for the slaughter of up to 10 animal units. While it has been suggested previously that such licenses could be issued to North Okanagan farmers, that has never occurred. It’s believed the number of local meat producers has gone from 1,200 to 300 since the provincial regulations came into effect in 2007.
Nicol says he is optimistic the government will amend its policies but he believes it must be soon. “There has to be some action and it can’t be in the form of another study,” he said. Director Rick Fairbairn describes the meeting with de Jong in West Kelowna as positive. “I think he finally gets it and he will huddle with his colleagues and try and find a solution,” said Fairbairn, who is a rancher.

The Regional District of North Okanagan is looking at hiking fees for notices on building titles.
District fees skyrocket RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Not abiding by the building code could become a costly proposition. The Regional District of North Okanagan is proposing to hike the notice on title fee from $157 to $850 in the five electoral areas. “We don’t want people to have notices on title. We want them to conform,� said director Shirley Fowler. “This may be a way to get people to go by the book.� Notices are placed on title when a property has violated the building bylaw. Such a move eliminates RDNO’s liability if someone were to be injured because of a flaw in construction. Notice on title makes prospective purchasers aware of deficiencies. When a property owner seeks compliance with the building code, a fee must be paid to have notice on title removed.
Staff says the hike to $850 reflects their time to handle notices on title, but there’s no support from director Eugene Foisy. “That’s a huge jump,� he said. “Some are for an old building that’s been there for 40 years and some guy has bought it. They’re not all people trying to be criminals. They’re caught in circumstances.� Opposition also comes from director Rick Fairbairn. “The numbers are not based on time sheets. It should be in the $450 range,� he said. But other board members say the financial burden of the building service should be on those not conforming with code and not taxpayers. “We need an ability to get people to stand up and notice there is a building code,� said director Kevin Acton. RDNO is also considering notice on title fees for municipalities it contracts the building department service to (all jurisdictions but Vernon and Coldstream).

Privatization protested RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Efforts are underway to try and stop the privatization of B.C.’s Liquor Distribution Branch. The B.C. Government and Service Employees Union has launched a petition campaign targeting the possible selling off of LDB’s warehouses. “We want to educate the public because many don’t know what’s going on,” said Diane Hamilton, a retired worker who is volunteering with the campaign.

“FAMILY OWNED & OPERATED”
The union claims that selling off the warehouses to private interests could lead to higher liquor prices and less selection for consumers. “The biggest impact is less revenue going back into the province, which means less money for health care and education,” said Wanda KlassenRoth, second vice-president. “It’s an asset of British Columbians and British Columbians should be asked before there are changes.” Mark Olsen, Vernon-Monashee NDP candidate, says the Liberal government is pushing to have a deal by March 1, just a few months before an election. “Whoever becomes government will have to deal with a 10-year contract and not know what’s involved with it,” he said. “Make it an election issue. Give voters a choice.” On Friday, the government unveiled a shortlist of proponents for the proposed privatization of warehouses and distribution services. Based on the six submissions received, the shortlist includes ContainerWorld Forwarding Services, Exel Canada, Kuehne & Nagel and Metro Supply Chain Group. “The B.C. government is currently exploring what might be possible and will only move forward if a better service delivery model can be provided by the private sector,” states a government release. “Any new system would have to demonstrate itself to be more effective and efficient, and provide lower overall costs to government.” The government also states that liquor pricing is not a part of the process. It’s anticipated that a decision will be made by the government in October.

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.

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.

Splatsin band to review plan RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Local First Nations will have an opportunity to review the impact and benefits of a proposed development. The Splatsin First Nation and the Neskonlith Indian Band have received $40,000 from the provincial government to engage with the proponent of a energy generation facility along the Beaver River. “It’s a start,” said Wayne Christian, Splatsin chief, adding that access to technical and cultural expertise is costly if a project is to be reviewed sufWayne Christian ficiently. “Depending on the size of the project, $40,000 is miniscule.” Proposed by Nelson-based Selkirk Power, the hydroelectric project is made up of facilities on Cupola and Ventego creeks, both about 50 kilometres northwest of Golden. The project does not require a dam and would rely on the natural grade and flow of the creeks. Consultation with the proponent will occur through Sexqeltkemc Enterprises, which represents the interests of the Splatsin and Neskonlith bands. “Sexqeltkemc Enterprises Incorporated is pleased to receive funding from the 2012 First

Rough seas for B.C. Ferries
B
.C. Ferries is in the midst of its summer schedule, ramping up sailings for the vacation season that is crucial to the fleet’s bottom line. It’s been rough sailing for B.C. Ferries so far this year. The corporation released its financial results in June, reporting a net loss of $16.5 million, compared to net earnings of $3.8 million the previous year. Last year’s earnings were boosted by the sale of the former corporate headquarters for $9.3 million, preventing a loss there as well. In the fiscal year that ended March 31, vehicle traffic was down 3.5 per cent and walk-on pasTom Fletcher sengers were down 2.8 per cent. As a result, B.C. Ferries is forecasting a “small loss” for this year as well. The spring “Coast Saver” sale just ended. That was a 37-per-cent discount offered Fridays through Mondays, May 25 to June 25 on the major runs from the mainland to Victoria and Nanaimo. The discounts allowed a foot passenger to cross for $9.95 and a car and driver for $39.95. I asked B.C. Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan how the sale went. He didn’t have final figures yet, but he allowed that the boost in traffic was “marginal.” It’s the second year that the spring sale has been offered over weekends, when people are more likely to travel. But instead of generating additional trips, Corrigan said the main effect has been to shift traffic from midweek to weekends. One of the primary reasons for this spring’s poor performance is the lousy weather that kept people at home. Gasoline at $1.40 a litre is another big one. Hotels and other tourism services tell the same story. Here’s another problem: student traffic on the ferries was down by a third this spring, because teachers cancelled field trips as part of
B.C. VIEWS
their lengthy work-to-rule campaign. The simplistic political debate about ferry service starts and ends with rising fares, with occasional fits of temper over executive salaries, and ignores the other factors. Just cut the fares and increase the taxpayer subsidy, say the NDP and their local echo chambers. Of course, taxpayers are already pitching in an extra $80 million this year, bringing the subsidy to the ferries close to $200 million. That’s how Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom sweetened the pot as he unveiled new powers for B.C. Ferry commissioner Gord Macatee to set service levels as well as regulate fares. Macatee’s task now is to travel the coast and endure the demands of island dwellers who want the rest of us to subsidize their splendid isolation. The proposition for them will boil down to this: You can pay more or you can have fewer sailings. And where the boat is a third full, you will have fewer sailings. This consultation period is an opportunity to ask some hard questions. For instance, does Saltspring Island really need three ferry terminals? And why is there no passenger-only service? Macatee’s term as commissioner started with a detailed review last year that pointed to some other ways to save serious money. But CEO Corrigan says there are no quick fixes. FortisBC has offered an $11 million incentive for conversion of marine vessels to natural gas, which would give the fleet significant relief from spiraling fuel costs. But a ferry conversion would take six months or more, and another vessel would be needed in the meantime. Another promising suggestion is overhauling the ferry reservation service, making reservations free and charging extra for those who just show up. Corrigan says a computer reservation overhaul is underway, but it will take three years. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca
New faces around the table can lead to different approaches and a willingness to resolve outstanding conflicts. That’s certainly the case between the new council members at both the Okanagan Indian Band and the City of Vernon, and the progress being made on conditions at Kin Beach. Back in 2009, both parties were at logger-heads, with then band council demanding the city cancel a $733,000 project to improve safety concerns on Lakeshore Road. There were also suggestions the road, which crosses through reserve land, would be closed. Jump ahead to 2012, and the band is accepting an offer from the city to install barriers to keep vehicles off the beach. It is also proceeding with a regulatory bylaw for the area and it would like the regional district to enforce the rules. This turn of events is welcome news given the problems that have surfaced over the years. People have driven their vehicles on to the reserve portion of the beach, putting others at risk. Dogs have run at large, creating a safety hazard, while after-hours parties have also been common. The situation has been troublesome for adjacent Lakeshore Road residents and disrespectful of the band, which has provided part of its land to the general public as a recreational amenity. Current band and city leadership deserve credit for pursuing a different approach and moving away from the animosity of the past. In the end, working together as neighbours is a trend that will benefit both communities for the long-term.

Skills training must be a priority
A
recent article in this paper extolled the importance of colleges to our community and the country's economy. Don't get me wrong, colleges are very important, but works skills are work skills and should remain so. Anyway, the shortage as I understand it is for skilled workers, not academics. About 10 years ago, there was a growing need in the workplace to replace the skilled trade workers and technicians whose numbers were rapidly depleting. The obvious place to train skilled workers was on the job, in the workplace, but the government could never work out a way to use the existing facilities and skilled people in the workplace to take on training. So, they turned to the colleges, knowing the students would have to pay for their own tuition. Having been an engineering apprentice 60-plus-years ago, and having associated with highly skilled people all of my life, I have to say the quality of skills we need cannot be acquired anywhere other than in the workplace on the job for an extended period of time. College mock-ups are HOSPITAL CONCERNS I have been a renal patient since 2006 when my kidneys failed. I am now a home hemo-dialysis patient, which means my wife sets up the dialysis machine and hooks me up for an eight-hour run. On June 12, my wife and I went to Kelowna for our first clinic appointment in the new hospital tower. The first thing they had me do was weigh-in and fill out a form that asked if there were any changes since my last visit. This form is completely redundant as I am in contact with my renal nurse weekly by phone or by e-mail. Next, they have a reception area that I was to sit in which I will refer to as “chairs." The rest of my appointment went like this: My renal nurse comes and gets me from “chairs” and takes me back to a room to go over everything. And when she is done, she walks me back to “chairs." Next, the dietician comes and gets me from “chairs” and takes me
not the equivalent for the on-the-job skills learning. Two things that stand out: In Canada, there are close to one million well-educated people who leave school (900 in Vernon) each year ready to take their place in the world of work. That is why they were educated and why they are so important. On government recommendations, 78 per cent will pay large sums on a college diploma course on work skills. Just ask
back to a room to go over everything again, and when she is done, she walks me back to “chairs." When the doctor is ready, he comes and gets me from “chairs” and takes me back to a room to go over everything again, and when he is done, he walks me back to “chairs." The social worker comes and gets me from “chairs” and takes me back to a room to go over everything again, and when she is done, I can finally leave. Now, I have a great deal of difficulty in walking, as do many other renal patients, and this up and down and back and forth is very painful. The rooms I was taken to were meeting rooms only, not equipped with a computer, and if any one of my team needed some additional information not in the file in front of them, they then had to walk back to their offices to retrieve it from a computer. This new procedure doesn’t make sense compared to the previous clinic meetings, where the
yourself, how in the world is it possible to have a skilled worker shortage year after year with these numbers available in the so-called training system? There are jobs in the community needing skills waiting to be filled, yet we have 17 per cent unemployment of the 18 to 24-year-olds. Why? It is a totally inept work skills training policy. That's why. This may seem like someone else's problem, but it's not. We all have to pay a price for this mess. Skilled workers provide
nurse, doctor and dietician could quickly brain storm collectively to make decisions regarding what changes to my treatment and diet would be beneficial to me. It seems to us that the individual who came up with these new procedures has absolutely no idea of what is best for most renal patients. Shouldn’t the system work so patients' care is at the forefront? If any other renal patients feel as we do, write a letter to the minister of health expressing your concerns.

included truckloads of items dropped off for the garage sale, an enthusiastic volunteer turnout and the donation of dozens of cupcakes and other baking. Thanks to the hundreds who attended the sale, the majority of who paid higher than the ticketed price for most items, and bought hotdogs, baking and "Eric's Army" T-shirts. Thanks also to the many others who attended only to drop off cash donations and the pilot who contributed in his own unique way. While the financial contributions were huge and most welcome, it was also the love, encouragement and support that the community shared that will continue to assure this family that they are not in this fight alone. Vernon, you are amazing and each and every one of us is proud to be a member of this caring and supportive community. Family and friends of Eric and Shannon Nolting

a huge amount of money to the government in income tax deductions. Without that money the government has to cut budgets and services. For 10 years, they have collected less and less. The prime minister boasts of his government's financial skill in managing the country's financial affairs and blames the world's economy and the recession for the financial shortfall. What he omits to say is Canada has massive natural resources. That is our bread and butter income. On the other hand, the workforce which needs to be managed properly to provide our quality of life and Canada's financial survival, is in a terrible mess. This will definitely upset some people, in fact, I hope it upsets everybody. It may even cause a strike and get the attention it needs. I offer no apology for that. Our domestic economy appears stalled, even sinking. We are in "the skilled worker shortage hole" and the word from government: keep digging. We as Canadians, especially the kids, deserve better management of our affairs. Roy Humphrey

Yards and orchards are bursting with the tastes of the season, and yet many still go hungry. Vernon’s Salvation Army food bank has launched a gleaning program for the third year and the goal is to connect residents in need with those who have more fruit and vegetables than they can possibly use. “It helps reduce food waste and it helps the community as well,� said Shawna KlassenRoth, gleaning co-ordinator. Volunteers are currently being sought to go out and pick fruits and vegetables, as are residents who are willing to make their produce available. Through the program, the homeowner gets one-third of the produce harvested, the volunteers get onethird and the food bank receives the remainder.

Shawna Klassen-Roth and David MacBain, with the Salvation Army food bank, are encouraging people to get involved in their gleaning program. Some of the volunteers will be food bank clients but others will be residents of the broader community who want access to fruits and vegetables for immediate consumption or to keep for over winter. “People want to do canning with local produce,� said KlassenRoth.

Mill seeking land use change RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
An Enderby area mill continues to move ahead with development plans. The Regional District of North Okanagan has given first reading to a bylaw that would see the North Enderby Timber site on Highway 97A go from a land use designation of agriculture to industrial. The plan is to build a log storage yard and dry kiln, but director Mike Macnabb is concerned that one of the potential activities allowed on site is preserving wood. “I struggle with that because of the proximity to the Shuswap River,” he said of chemicals possibly leaching into the water.
However, director “If you go out on Jackie Pearase a motorcycle, says no wood you’re takpreserving ing your life occurs on into your own site. hands,” said “It’s a director Kevin question of Acton of broleaving it in ken pavement the bylaw so and slumping if something Jackie Pearase shoulder. comes up in A letter the future,” demanding she said of evolving action will be writbusiness activities. ten to the Ministry of Cherryville Transportation. highway a concern Making some noise Pressure is being The Regional placed on the provincial District of North government to fix parts Okanagan is considof Highway 6. ering ways to handle The Regional District noise complaints. of North Okanagan is A number of changconcerned about the es are being considered condition of the highway from the Gold Panner Campground to Mine Hill in Cherryville.

The skyline on Vernon’s Hospital Hill will be changing. A vacant apartment building on 31A Street, across from Vernon Jubilee Hospital, will be demolished between early August and mid-October. “Once the building is removed, the property will be re-graded and remain fully fenced. Security lighting will also be in place,” states a release from the Interior Health Authority. “A decision has not yet been made on the specific use of the property which was acquired as part of a land purchase in 2007.” The building has been vacant since February 2011.

Some board members, though, want to ensure specific community interests aren’t impacted. “It needs to include chainsaws,” said director Eugene Foisy, adding that many Cherryville residents use the devices to cut up wood to heat their homes. A special meeting will be held so directors can discuss the issue further.

in 2011 totalling just over $13,000, so the township exempted seven groups for more than $57,000. “That’s quite an impact for the township,” said Fraser. Freeman-Marsh said assessment figures are determined by the B.C. Assessment Authority. “They get the notices in January, and it’s their job to say to the assessment authority, ‘I disagree,’ then prove them wrong,” he said. Fraser wondered if it should be up to the township to question the assessment authority, to which Freeman-Marsh replied that’s something the township hasn’t done for anyone else. “We approve them (exemptions) annually,” he said. “Maybe in September, we say no unless groups become more proactive in controlling their assessments.” Fraser put forth a motion, supported unanimously by council, to send a letter to the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club stating their assessment has gone up and encourage them to challenge the assessment for next year.

One Spallumcheen councillor is questioning a nearly $25,000 tax exemption for a local organization. Christine Fraser noted that the Okanagan Boys and Girl’s Club 2011 tax exemption, as stated in the township’s 2011 annual report, was $24,521, jumping from $6,646 in 2010. Chief financial officer Brian Freeman-Marsh noted in the Fraser report that the increase in 2011 was from the Okanagan Boys and Girl’s Club tax assessment changing to business commercial in 2011. The Monastery of the Carmel of St. Joseph, saw its exemption rise from nearly $6,000 in 2010 to just under $21,000 in 2011 because of the doubling of its class one assessment.

Fundraiser lights up youth’s lives

The Bright Lights, Big City fashion show fundraiser is helping to bring black light shows and other new youth programs to the Vernon library. “We always have lots of ideas and now with the funding, we will be able to implement them. One thing we want to do is to have a portable black light theatre for glow-in-the-dark plays,” said Stephanie Vollick, youth services librarian. “Some other ideas are to get film rights so we can have a book-to-movie club, read the book then see the film for different ages. We are also planning interactive children’s activity centres and microphones and headphones for puppet plays and other shows.” Nicole Richmond, owner of 104 Grey Clothing and Accessories, and Lisa Gallie, owner of Big Sun Beach Wear and Tanning, organized the show with the help of many other local organizations. “We wanted to raise awareness of the things you can get here in Vernon and support something that would have an immediate impact on our community. Our children love the library and we knew they needed things so we thought of that,” said Gallie. Marla O’Brien, Okanagan Regional Library public relations manager, added, “It’s really nice to see the community involved with the library. All branches can accept these kinds of donations for things that base operations can’t cover.” Richmond said she and Gallie are already plan-

Agencies seek community support Morning Star Staff
Bare shelves are beginning to collect dust at a couple integral places of support for those in need. Both the Vernon Women’s Transition House Society and the North Okanagan Youth and Family Services Society are seeking donations. “I know that everyone is hurting and I am sure that is why we are down too,” said Sharon Gillespie, at NOYFSS, which operates the Cammy LaFleur Street Nurse Outreach Program. NOYFSS is in need of: shampoo and conditioner, lip chap, sunscreen, tampons, body lotion, soaps, toothbrushes, razors, toilet paper, Band-Aids and gently worn shoes and summer clothing for young adults. The Transition House, a shelter for women and children experiencing domestic abuse, assists women in setting up new households when they

move out into the community. Therefore it is hoping the community may be able to help with donations of gently used household items and furniture. Beds (of all sizes), bed pillows, bedspreads (all sizes), microwaves, lamps, coffee and end tables, sofas/chairs, dressers, kitchen table/chairs, coffee makers, pots and pans and cutlery sets are all needed. “We thank the community for the support we have received over the years; you truly have made a difference in our clients’ lives,” states the society in a release. For more information on how to help the transition house, visit http://vwths.shelternet.ca or call 250-542-1122. For more information about NOYFSS visit www. noyfss.org or call 250-545-3572.

Pospisil pursues Olympic dream KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
His father gave up his full-time job and moved the family to Vancouver. His mother homeschooled him through his teen years. His brothers knocked the ball around with him, showed him a few things and cheered him on. For Vernon-born Vasek Pospisil, getting named to Canada’s Olympic tennis team was much more than an individual moment of golden glory. “This is a great accomplishment for our whole family, especially for my dad (Milos) who has basically put his heart and soul into this,” said Pospisil, in an early-June conference call. “I’m just as happy for him as I am for myself. It’s a dream come true for all of us.” Pospisil, 22, who was later in June added as a singles player, but will have his best chance for a medal as he plays with Daniel Nestor in men’s doubles at the London Olympics. The doubles event runs from July 28 to Aug. 4 and will be held on grass at the All England Club in Wimbledon. Milos Raonic represents Canada’s top-ranked singles player. Vasek’s tennis journey saw him swinging a racquet like he was Wayne Gretzky as a tyke. He was rated top-five in the world under 12 when he was just nine and drew special raves when he won the U10 Little Mo Nationals in San Diego as a nine-yearold. He beat Californian Andy Magee, now an NCAA player in Maryland, in the final. As a youngster, Vasek and older brothers, Tomas and Petr, would smack shopping carts full of balls for hours at the Vernon Secondary School courts 90 seconds from their East Hill bungalow. All three brothers served as ball boys at a regular pro tour stop in Palm Springs, meeting the likes of Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi. “Looking back at those countless hours spent with Tom, Petr and Vasek mostly on VSS tennis courts makes me feel great and satisfied,” said Milos, who immigrated from the Cezch Republic to Vernon in 1989 with his beautiful wife, Mila, and the two older kids. “I remember every day pushing the shopping cart across the street and the parking lot at VSS. I still have that shopping cart in the storage. We were working really hard and the boys had a goal to be the best they can be and obviously there was a dream of becoming a professional tennis player. We

we would have really hard time to do what we did. “As for me now, I am Vasek’s No. 1 fan. I love tennis and want to stay involved in such a great sport. I am now working with some of the top B.C. juniors here in Vancouver and also in Florida in the winter months.” Pospisil has earned (US) $238,000 on the pro circuit, most of that cash coming in singles play. He has some doubles success. Pospisil partnered with Nestor for two victories in Davis Cup play in 2011. They defeated an unheralded Ecuadorian pair in July and then won impressively over the experienced team of Jonathan Erlich and Andy Ram of Israel near Tel Aviv last September. That four-set win helped vault Canada into the World Group in 2012.

Nestor chooses Pospisil Continued from A20 Pospisil said he was in the Toronto airport when Nestor called with the news he had chosen him as his doubles partner. He wasn’t shocked, but rather a little unsure if he would be selected. “I was thinking it was more of like a coin toss between myself and Milos Raonic,” said the 6-foot-4 Pospisil. “Milos is higher ranked in singles and he’s been having incredible results on the singles court but, obviously, doubles is a different game and I knew maybe I had that little advantage there.” This will be Pospisil’s first Olympic experience. He wasn’t able to gain any, even as a spectator, in 2010 at the Vancouver Winter Games. He was playing tournament tennis in Texas and could only watch the Olympics on TV. “It’s going to be a great opportunity for me and an incredible experience playing in the biggest sporting event in the world,” said Pospisil, now a Vancouver resident. “The Olympics are obviously a huge deal and kind of even above my wildest dreams. Playing doubles with a legend like Nestor is very exciting. I can’t wait to go to London and be an Olympic athlete.” Pospisil plans to hold his own and be relaxed beside Nestor. He will also keep his ears open for tips. “I can pretty much guarantee that I’ll be as ready as I’ll ever be for that tournament. I’m just going to take care of my shots. He does give me pointers and I ask for them because anything coming from him is good advice. I’m going to soak everything in I can. “Obviously this is going to be completely new for me. I have no idea what to expect or anything, to be honest. I just know it’s going to be pretty wild and crazy and exciting. But I’ve played in big tournaments and Grand Slams

so I am not going to be intimidated by the occasion at all. I’m taking this extremely seriously.” Nestor, a 39-year-old leftie from Toronto has appeared in four previous Olympics – winning gold with Sebastien Lareau in 2000 – and captured eight Grand Slam titles, most recently the French Open. Nestor is currently ranked No. 1 in the world in doubles. “In my opinion, Daniel is the greatest doubles player of all-time,” said Pospisil. “I think anyone playing with him makes a dangerous team. We’re both big serving and play well at the net so, for sure, I would like to think we have a shot at a medal. He’s definitely not a bad partner. “I think I’ll definitely bring a little bit of energy and some youth and Daniel will bring the experience. We’ll try to combine the two and play well as a team.” As for missing sleepovers, birthday parties and school dances like most kids his age, Vasek has no regrets about his abnormal upbringing. “It was absolutely worth it. It’s something I’ve worked for since I was a little kid, when I started to walk. So, to be here, it’d be crazy for me to say it wasn’t worth it because this is exactly what I was wanting to do and accomplish. Everything is going well for me so far and I’ve put a lot of work to get to where I am so I’m not going to stop now. I’m just going to keep working hard and try and go as far as I can and see where my hard work takes me in my career.” Immediately following the London 2012 Olympic tennis event, all Canadian players will return to Montreal and Toronto to play Rogers Cup presented by National Bank from Aug. 4-13. Nestor, Pospisil and Raonic will play at Rexall Centre in Toronto while Aleksandra Wozniak and Stephanie Dubois will play at Uniprix Stadium in Montreal.

Outlaws round up NET Celtics Morning Star Staff
The Little Tex Outlaws shaded the NET Celtics 2-1 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 1 play Thursday night at Marshall Field #5. Emily Corrie scored first for the Outlaws, burying her own rebound on a breakaway attempt stopped by the NET keeper Charmaine Biagioni. Monica Neilson supplied the winner on a beautiful left-footed blast which gave the keeper no chance. Eilina Huisken had a great game up front for the Outlaws (4-6-1) and actually scored, but was taken down in the penalty area. The referee made a controversial decision and did not allow the goal. The Outlaws’ defence stifled the speedy Celtic forwards time after time. Kelsey Krahn and Jen Knopf were rock stars in the middle and Stacey Cover went in hard all night. The Celtics opened the scoring early when a corner from Ashley Krause was mishandled in the box and Jodi Bariesheff capitalized. With the 4-4-3 Celtics missing a few bodies, they had many players playing in new positions, including Paige Rachwalski, who was strong in center-mid. In a soggy Competitive Division match-up Friday night, the AF Blazers fell 4-0 to Glenn Power Contracting of Salmon Arm. The Blazers played a phenomenal first half, taking a scoreless draw to the break. The waterlogged Blazers allowed four goals in the second half, with keeper Jeanette Maleska making several brilliant saves to keep the score respectable. Strikers Krista Ference and Marjorie
Boisvert connected for some quality scoring chances but were unable to convert. ■ In Division 2 action Thursday night, the OMG Chick Kickers scored three firsthalf goals to topple Centerline Attack 3-0 at Marshall #4. Cara Main, Jenelle Woods and Ashley Smith supplied goals for the Kickers, who got some great runs through the middle by Michelle Casanova and Smith. Soon-tobe-married Nadine Krywonos, Bobbi Catt, Michelle Doroshuk, Monica Holubowski and Erica August anchored the back line in front of keeper Wendy Nadeau. Sue Bowler, Jen Garnett and Jackie Main were strong in the middle, while Karen Woods was steady on the wing. (Lean) Lena Dean scored three times as NOU grounded the shorthanded Randy Rockets 9-4 in Masters action at Marshall #5. The Rockets only had seven players. In Division 2 play at Marshall #2, Sunterra Custom Homes Sista’s blanked Capri Insurance 4-0. Sunterra got their first goal at 15 minutes when Tania Wirachowsky made a beautiful cross in front to Amanda Gaythorpe, who tipped it to Carmen Kinniburgh, who buried a shot just out of reach of the keeper. The next goal came from Maddy Demers, who fought hard to keep possession, running, deking, and dodging all the way from centre before beating the keeper. Sunterra went up 3-0 when a Jennie Currie cross landed in front of the net where Demers and Kinniburgh each took cracks at it, only to have it ricochet off a few defenders and come finally to the feet of Gaythorpe, who went roof daddy for her first career goal. Currie had many close calls with her
beauty shots but consistently saw her ball go just outside the top right of net. Angela Otto settled the play down with a smart pass back to defender Crystal Flasch, who then sent a beauty through ball to Currie, who this time made no mistake putting it in under the crossbar to close the offence. Suzyn August made some beautiful saves in recording a shutout in her first game as the Sista’s keeper. In a make-up Masters Division game Wednesday night in Salmon Arm, Seasons Sista’s bowed 8-2 to Setters Pub. Speedy (Bubbles) Becky Birbilis broke in from a beautiful through pass and connected a hard blast in the corner pocket for the first Sista’s goal. Shannon Walton later tapped in a one-timer off a gorgeous cross from Birbilis. The Sista’s tried new positons to create some fun and change with stopper Sherry Wiebe playing some forward and striker Andrea Zubot trying out some defence. ■ Striker Mike Lloyd pulled a secondhalf hat trick as Kal Tire shelled Silver Stars 7-2 in men’s 50+ league action at Marshall #3 Thursday night. Fellow striker Kevin Mitchell, perhaps inspired by making the Zone team for the upcoming B.C. Senior Games, neatly nodded in a Mark DeVolder chip cross and set up Jenne Huberts twice, to give Kal Tire an early 3-0 lead. Mitchell’s teammates voted him the Interior Bottle & Freight Man of the Match. Defender Roger Irving switched spots with Lloyd in the final 10 minutes and buried a two-footer on a feed from Huberts. Kal Tire improved to 9-5-1. John Garner and Rob Ross received giftwrapped passes and handled the 5-7-3 Stars’ offence.

Fraser Valley (Zone 3) eked out a 9-7 win over Thompson-Okanagan (Zone 2) in round-robin box lacrosse play at the B.C. Summer Games Friday in Surrey. Lots of back-and-forth play with multiple lead changes had the teams tied 7-7 with less than five minutes to play in regulation. Jeremy Bosher, a Kamloops product with the Zone 4 crew, took a late slashing penalty that proved costly. After appearing to be upset with a non-call, Bosher was given two minutes for a slash, followed by an unsportsmanlike penalty. Fraser Valley capitalized twice on the man advantage to secure the win. Bosher was still a little confused about the call after the game. “I got taken down and got up and slipped a little and it looked like a bad slash, I guess,” he said. “Then, I asked about it and got another penalty.” Thompson-Okanagan, featuring Vernon’s Liam Drabiuk, Jonathan Grant, netminder Tyler Landry and Jake Thomson, and Enderby’s Justin Backus, faced the Kootenays (Zone 1) Saturday to wrap up the round-robin. The Thompson-Okanagan field lacrosse squad, with Vernon’s Kyle Cuzzetto and Mykl Drabiuk, and Coldstream’s Thomas Landels, bowed 7-5 to Vancouver-Squamish (Zone 5) to start their Games. In athletics, Vernon’s Joey Kohut, a first-year runner, ranked 16th in the boys 1,200-metre distance race, finishing in three minutes, 48.55 seconds. Lumby’s Jared Sexsmith, a high jump specialist, placed 11th in javelin with 32.61m. In boys baseball, Vernon’s Dylan Emmons, Parker Friesen and Charles Law helped ThompsonOkanagan earn a 4-4 draw with Fraser River Delta (Zone 4). They then fell 7-2 to Fraser Valley (Zone 3). In girls basketball action, Thompson-Okanagan, featuring Vernon’s Kristy Fugel, Anna Rice and Meghan Rouault, opened the Games with a 55-11 drubbing of North West (Zone 7). In boys soccer preliminary play, Fraser River Delta bounced Thompson-Okanagan 4-0. The Zone 4 boys, with Vernon’s Owen Miller and Armstrong’s Ben Purvis, rebounded with a 5-0 stuffing of the Kootenays. On the girls soccer pitch, Mason Christenson helped Zone 4 open with a 3-0 win over the Kootenays. In boys volleyball, Vernon’s Nick Prystupa boosted Thompson-Okanagan to a 3-0 start in preliminary play. They swept the Kootenays 2-0 and then shaded Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island-Central Coast (Zone 6) 2-1. On the girls court, Thompson-Okanagan, featuring Vernon players Mckenzie Kreeft and Stephanie Mintz, and Coldstream’s Julia Kemper, dropped a pair of 2-0 decisions to Fraser Valley and VancouverSquamish. As of the Morning Star’s press time Saturday, Vancouver Island-Central Coast, with five gold, three silver and four bronze, and VancouverSquamish, with 4-3-5, were tied atop the standings with a dozen medals each. Thompson-Okanagan was fourth with 3-2-1. More than 2,300 athletes are competing in 20 sports at venues throughout Surrey. They are supported by more than 3,000 community volunteers.

Highway lanes won’t return ROGER KNOX
Acceleration lanes are not warranted at Harding Road due to low traffic volume, wrote Dulay, with numbers lower than at Rosedale Avenue. The ministry had received letters from both Armstrong and Spallumcheen councils asking them to reconsider the acceleration lanes.
Morning Star Staff
The transportation ministry has halted any plans to re-install acceleration lanes along Highway 97A in Armstrong and Spallumcheen. The lanes were removed at Smith Road, Harding Road and Rosedale Avenue after the highway was fourlaned during a road construction project in 2011. Project manager Rampaul Dulay explained in a letter that statistics collected from traffic counts for turning at Smith Road and Rosedale Avenue backed up the ministry’s rationale for not providing acceleration lanes, as explained to Armstrong and Spallumcheen civic officials during an onsite meeting in March. At the on-site meeting, officials said no acceleration lanes were put in because of low traffic volume and not a lot of right-turn traffic. According to the ministry, the average wait time to make a right turn at the Smith Road intersection was 1.7 seconds. The minimum wait time was 0.30 seconds and the maximum wait time was 14 seconds. “A traffic signal at Smith Road provides frequent gaps for rightturn movement,” said Dulay. “There are sufficient volumes of northbound

The Ministry of Transportation will not restore acceleration lanes in Armstrong and Spallumcheen. left- and eastbound left-turning vehicles to cause the signal to stop southbound Highway 97A traffic creating frequent opportunities for eastbound rightturning traffic to turn unopposed.” Dulay said it would be unsafe to build acceleration and decelerations back-to-back between Smith Road and Rosedale Avenue due to a lack of required separation. The Rosedale Avenue intersection on the west (Armstrong) side of the highway would ahve to be closed to meet ministry standards if an acceleration lane was to be added. Traffic volumes for right-turns at Rosedale are considered low, according to Dulay. “The highest rightturning movement

in the AM peak was recorded at 63 vehicles per hour and in the PM peak, it was 31 vehicles per hour,” said Dulay, whose numbers show the average wait time to make a right-turn at Rosedale is 5.5 seconds, minimum wait time is 0.31 seconds and the maximum wait time is 31 seconds.

The Snowbirds will be back in the sky over Kelowna next month. The Royal Canadian Airforce’s aerial acrobatics team will present its full 35-minute show — the same one presented at airshows across North America — over Okanagan Lake starting at 4 p.m. on Aug. 1. While the aerial manoeuvres will be seen from just about anywhere on the downtown lakeshore, or across the lake on the west side, the best vantage point is expected to be Kelowna’s Waterfront Park, say organizers. The famed flyers, who performed here last summer in support of the Rotary Club, have added the Kelowna stop to their 2012 schedule as part of their support for the Child Foundation, an organization that raises money for children with intestinal and liver diseases. The Snowbirds have been official ambassadors of the Child Foundation for the last 10 years.

The Jamma Masjid mosque is one of a series of dramatic Moghul monuments in the village of Fatehpur Sikri, India.
India’s moghul magnificence MARGARET DEEFHOLTS Special To The Morning Star
INDIA - India and the Taj Mahal are synonymous in the minds of most visitors to the sub-continent. But there is a group of lesser known, but no less dramatic Moghul monuments that lie a mere 35 miles away from Agra, (the site of the Taj) in the little village of Fatehpur Sikri. The story goes that in the mid 1600s, the Moghul emperor Akbar the Great, desperate for a son and heir, sought an audience with the reclusive Muslim saint Salim Chisti. The saint blessed the emperor, and the following year, the birth of Akbar’s firstborn son occasioned tumultuous rejoicing throughout the land. Akbar decided that as a mark of honour to Salim Chisti, he would move his capital from Agra to Fatehpur Sikri. and he proceeded to build a wondrous city with buildings of glowing red sandstone, splendid courtyards and airy pavilions. Along with a couple of friends, I’m in a rather ramshackle, (read cheap), public bus rattling through one of the huge entrance archways to the walled city. We dismount only to be assailed by a small army of wannabe guides. Eventually we succumb to a young man with an engaging grin. His name is Mahmood. The large rust-red palace buildings flank an open courtyard. “This is Parcheesi board,” says Mahmood, pointing to an inlaid chequer-like design in one area of the courtyard. “Emperor sit here,” pointing to

one side, “and opponent, he sit there. Pieces are all beautiful slave girls, or sometimes bad traitors. If traitors killed in game — then killed afterwards too. But slave girls not killed — they only given to winner for enjoy.” We nod, bemused. The extraordinary DiwanI-Khas has four sandstone
balconies situated high above our heads, representing the Moslem, Christian, Hindu and Buddhist faiths, and they are all linked by bridges to a central column, symbolic of spiritual unity. The emperor sat on a throne above this central column and held debating sessions with philosophers and intellectuals. Akbar tried to establish a universal religion incorporating the truths common to all faiths, which he labelled “Din I’lahi”, but after his death, this idealistic notion faded into obscurity.. The Ankh Micholi palace has colonades around which, Mahmood says, the emperor “did peek-a- boo” with the beauties in his harem. It is also easy to imagine the emperor and his court sitting on the terrace of the Panch Mahal (five-tiered palace) listening to Urdu poetry, or the plaintive notes of a sitar. A little later we stand before
the main entrance, subdued by the sheer bulk of a 54-metre high archway called the Buland Darwaza. A Koranic inscription reads “The world is a bridge; pass over it but build no house upon it.” Bees, unhindered by this lofty admonition, have built gigantic hives, hanging dark and swollen like malignant tumours, against the inner ceiling of the archway. And then, Fatehpur Sikri lays its final treasure before us: the exquisite shrine of Salim Chishti. Fashioned out of white marble, sunlight filters through its intricately carved marble lattice-work screen. Yet all this splendour was short lived. The furnace of summer and years of drought reduced the city to a wasteland. The court reluctantly moved to Delhi. And Fatehpur Sikri lay empty and deserted through the succeeding centuries. Today, the village of Fatehpur Sikri is a huddle of poor hutments below the Buland Darwaza, and visitors now flock through the once grand entrance archway not to find an audience at the court of Akbar, but to marvel instead at his legacy of palaces and pavilions that have endured through time. The shrine of Salim Chisti continues to draw devotees: childless women of all faiths still come in pilgrimage, seeking the same blessing that a mighty emperor craved more than 400 years ago: the gift of a son.

Okanagan cherries a healthy choice CATHI LITZENBERGER Special to the Morning Star
A
re cherries the new wonder fruit? Well, lets take a look at a few facts about this delicious fruit. Did you know that the finest cherries in the world are grown in the B.C. Interior? Among other qualities, our cherries have the highest brix (or sugar content) on the planet. Many of the old â&#x20AC;&#x153;wives talesâ&#x20AC;? about the healing powers of cherries have proven to be true. Cherries, especially tart varieties, contain significant amounts of melatonin, which helps regulate sleep, anthocyanin, and other powerful antioxidants with great anti-inflammatory properties which are significant and beneficial for the immune system. This fruit has proven to soothe gout, drastically lower inflammation in the body, in fact, enough to actually alleviate arthritis symptoms and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. As well, cherries are an excellent source of vitamin C and fiber, low in fat, and are cholesterol free. The cherry season is upon us. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enjoy this versatile fruit. Cherry Chutney 1 pound cherries, pitted 1 cup cider vinegar 1/2 cup rice vinegar 1 large onion, chopped 1 Granny Smith apple - peeled, cored and chopped 1/4 cup white sugar 1/4 cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger 2 tablespoons Chinese five-spice powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg Place the cherries, cider vinegar, rice vinegar, onion, apple, white sugar, brown sugar, ginger, five-spice powder, salt, and nutmeg into a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for one hour, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid, and continue simmering until the desired consistency has been reached. Chill before serving. Classic Cherries Jubilee 1/2 cup white sugar 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1/4 cup water 1/4 cup orange juice 1 pound Bing or other dark, sweet cher-

Stir in the water and orange juice; bring to a boil over mediumhigh heat, whisking until thickened. Stir in the cherries and orange zest, return to a boil, then reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. While the cherries are cooking, spoon the ice cream into serving bowls. Remove the cherries from the heat, and stir in the cherry extract. Pour in the brandy, and ignite with a long lighter. Gently shake the pan until the blue flame has extinguished itself. Spoon the cherries over the bowls of ice cream. Cherry Crumb Cake 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room tem-
perature 3/4 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 3/4 cup sour cream 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup coarsely chopped pitted fresh cherries, tossed with 2 tablespoons flour Topping 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts Heat oven to 350°. Grease and flour a
9-inch round cake pan. With an electric mixer, cream 6 tablespoons of butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Slowly beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract, almond extract, and sour cream until blended. In another bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, baking powder, soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Slowly beat the flour mixture into the batter just until blended. Fold in cherries. Spoon into the prepared baking pan. Combine 6 tablespoons of butter with 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 3/4 cup flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and pecans. Mix well. With fingers, crumble the streusel mixture evenly over the cake batter. Bake the cake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Moore serves up a delicacy for the ears Morning Star Staff
It’s been a while since he donned a tuxedo, but local operatic tenor Paul Moore is ready to get back in black for a concert he is giving Thursday at Trinity United Church. “I will be singing all sorts of opera arias, some English songs, some musical theatre and Neapolitan songs from Italy as well,” said Moore. “I’m finding beautiful and powerful melodies, and, well, there’s a lot of them in my program for this show.” A co-founder of Studio Moore and A Merry Moore Christmas, Moore grew up in Armstrong, and later studied voice at The Juilliard School in New York City, UVic, McGill, the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria, and the Israeli Vocal Institute. In addition to his studies with renowned baritone Sherrill Milnes and Canadian opera legend Louis Quillico. Moore has studied with Ed Zambard at Juilliard; vocal coach Joan Dornemann, assistant conductor for The Metropolitan Opera — Paul Moore and co-founder of the International Vocal Arts Institute; and Canadian coach and CBC personality Stuart Hamilton. He has sung professionally in most major Canadian cities with opera companies and symphony orchestras as well as numerous national CBC broadcasts and is founder and director of the Okanagan Vocal Arts Festival and Opera in the Park. Besides his tenor tendencies, Moore is also known as the lead vocalist of Vernon rock band The Goods. Joining him for his Vernon performance will be piano accompanist Sandra Fletcher. “I like having her play for me,” said Moore. “She is funny and not afraid to be different. I am the same way. I have never chosen a path that I was not ready to question if it didn’t make sense... the same is with my music.” Thursday’s concert at Trinity United Church, 3300 Alexis Park Drive, starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 for adults, $15 for students, at the Ticket Seller box office, 549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.
“I’m finding beautiful and powerful melodies, and, well, there’s a lot of them in my program for this show.”

It’ll be a well-worded night of songs and yodelling Morning Star Staff
Get ready to yodel along with a crooning troubadour and a wordsmith known for his gravelly baritone. On Wednesday, local poet, author and singer John Lent is performing in concert along with Vancouver’s Petunia, who is returning to Gallery Vertigo after a recent appearance in town. Growing up in rural Ste.-Dorothee, Laval, Quèbec seems like an obvious connection for the flowered name country-blues yodeler. His hillbilly-flavoured swing, inflected with ragtime and other rootsy influences
has been heard on street corners, in pubs, and subway stations all over North America, and Europe. Part wanderer, part musician, Petunia’s been on the road for years at a time, sometimes propelled by nothing more than his outstretched thumb alongside the TransCanada Highway. “I discovered I loved street life, it was a good fit for me,” said Petunia. “I spent a lot of years homeless, touring across the country in my camper van.” He has laid his hat and made his home in many places along the way as befits a
wandering troubadour. His traveling libido has led him to secure bands of musicians spanning across three continents. He has played with literally hundreds, and maybe thousands of musicians. Personal highlights from recent West Coast tours include Phil Alvin, Exene Cervenka, and Wanda Jackson. For those unfamiliar with Lent, he is a wellknown poet and novelist, as well as the retired regional dean and professor of creative writing and literature at Okanagan College. Lent is also a singer/songwriter and plays in the roots/jazz trio, The Lent/Fraser/Wall Trio, based out of Vernon.
With Lent as vocalist, the group has opened for Leahey, Chilliwack, Campbell Ryga, Long John Baldry, UHF and others. Lent lives with his wife, Jude Clarke, a painter and writer in Vernon, and is a member of the Writers Union of Canada, SOCAN, the Canadian Songwriters Association, and the Associated Writing Programs (USA). He just published his 10th book, the novel The Path to Ardroe. Lent and Petunia take the stage at Gallery Vertigo, #1-3001-31st St. Wednesday at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 in advance at the Bean Scene or $15 at the door.

Fish on Five’s Wade Dorsey (top left, clockwise), Reynold Epp, Edmund House, Bruce Dougall and Dennis Colpits perform on the grounds of the Mackie Lake House, Friday.
Quintet reels in tunes Morning Star Staff
Give them a fishing rod and a brass instrument, and Fish on Five will give you a song with your supper. The group, featuring five friends who are all brass musicians with the Okanagan Symphony, share two great loves –– music and fishing. This was no more apparent four years ago, when they discovered their mutual double passion. The five horn players chugged off to the Bella Bella area in tuba player Reynold Epps’ boat. They “just happened” to all take their instruments along. As a result, their hands were always full – with fishing poles or brass horns. “No cathedral ever provided the acoustics found in a sheltered cove where we anchored for the night and played to the heavens,” said trumpeter Dennis Colpitts, who plays French horn with the Okanagan Symphony and also co-directs the Youth Symphony of the Okanagan. Locals will get a chance to hear Fish on Five when they perform at Brass on the Grass on the lawn of the Mackie Lake House Friday. The event is presented by both the North Okanagan Community Concert Association (NOCCA) and the Mackie Lake House Foundation. “The event is in memory of Paddy Mackie, the incredible man who protected and made the house so special and created the foundation that now
runs it,” said Jan Waldon with the NOCCA. A proponent of the arts, Mackie frequently hosted musical soirées by local artists at his home, and himself was a credible flutist. He didn’t take up the instrument until he retired as a French teacher at Seaton High School (one of the very few French teachers in Vernon who actually spent a year at the Sorbonne.) “The idea of a musical evening is carrying on Paddy’s tradition,” said Waldon. “The reason for the brass quintet is that Buzz Brass, the last NOCCA program of the 11-12 season, turned out to be very popular – and these five horn players are extremely talented, local, and available.” Also performing in Fish on Five is trumpeter Wade Dorsey, who has replaced regular member Jim Howie, who is unavailable this summer, French horn player Edmund House, and trombonist Bruce Dougall. “(They) offer a wide variety of great music: sing-along, toe-tapping, classical, jazz and more,” said Waldon. Brass on the Grass takes place at Mackie Lake House, Friday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Patrons can bring their own picnic supper – or just come to listen to the music. Don’t forget to include lawn chairs or a blanket. The Mackie Lake House is located at 7804 Kidston Rd., Coldstream. Tickets are $15, available at the gate or by calling 250-545-1019.

REEL REVIEWS

The film contains a list of huge stars in their prime: Steve McQueen, James Garner and Charles Bronson just to name a few. One word to sum it up “classic.” Oh, and it has a catchy theme tune as well. 5/5 TAYLOR: I’d like to remind everyone of two great war movies that both have amazing introductions: The first 30 minutes of these movies are breathtaking. Saving Private Ryan has as its opener the landing of American forces in France on D-Day. Ultra high contrast, brutal and realistic, Tom Hanks and the boys make war look like hell. In Full Metal Jacket, Stanley Kubrick spends the first 30 minutes having a drill sergeant yell at us, as if we we’re the new recruits. It’s very effective. If someone in the theatre had poked me in the ribs, I would have jumped up and shouted, “Sir, yes sir!” HOWE: How about a war that hasn’t happened yet? If you like your movies full of gooey slimy brain bugs, Starship Troopers is for you. It feels like a shoot ‘em up computer game. The graphics for the day are pretty good and you’ll have a few laughs along the way.

Capsule Comments with
MARCIA BELEY There has been a lot written about low-dose A.S.A. (Aspirin®) lately. There is evidence it does help people who have had a heart attack but new research has shown it has minimal effect on those with no history of heart disease. A.S.A. is a drug with side effects. Don’t start on this drug without your doctor’s consent. Mosquitos can be a nuisance. Everyone has their favourite way of discouraging bites. B vitamins (B-1, B-12) don’t work. Wear light-coloured clothing and use insect repellents containing DEET. Check with our pharmacists for advice. When camping, be cautious drinking water from mountain streams and creeks. Two water-borne parasitic diseases, giardia and cryptosporidiosis are caused by parasites sometimes found in water in rural areas. To be safe, bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute (3 minutes at altitudes above 2000 metres). Age-related macular degeneration is an eye disease that can affect people above the age of 60 and can lead to retinal damage and blindness. There is evidence that eating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids can significantly lower the risk of this disease. Cold water fish like sardines, anchovies, mackerel, herring and salmon are good sources. If you aren’t a fish-eater, capsule supplements are available. Take charge of your own health.

Community Futures revamped GRAEME CORBETT Business Editor
The thing about all the changes at Community Futures North Okanagan is no one is likely to notice them. At least hopefully not their clients. It is business as usual for the organization as it rolls out the province’s new employment program – known as WorkBC – which continues to offer business, economic development and employment services. “The biggest change and shift for the province is from a number of contracts for employment services to one contract,” said Leigha Horsfield, business services co-ordinator at Community Futures. “There’s new processes and procedures (for staff) to follow, but in general, clients won’t notice a change because the focus is still on them. “The idea is for it to be seamless for the client. It’s making sure they have a positive experience, get the help that they need and make it to the services that make sense to them.” Taking on the role of a WorkBC Employment Services Centre, Community Futures and its partners – Vernon Immigrant Services, John Howard Society, Kindale Developmental Association – are working to ensure job seekers receive the appropriate employment services at the right location. This no-wrong-door approach includes entry points for all job seekers, as well as specialized populations. For clients in Enderby, it also includes the North Okanagan Employment Enhancement Society. In Lumby, services are being delivered in the White Valley Resource Centre and in Armstrong at Kindale. “Existing businesses can access services here for loans and business coaching and various workshops,” said Horsfield. “People that are unemployed can get a whole lot of help through the WorkBC program, and for economic development we sit on Visions North Okanagan and we support initiatives throughout the Okanagan.” At the self-serve resource centres, both youth and adults are able to get assistance with resumes, cover letters and get access to a variety of local and provincial job postings. On any given day, there are upwards of 150 job post-
ings on the boards. The centres also offer a number of workshops that focus on self-marketing, interview skills and job seeking. “We see over 100 people a day through the doors and their needs vary from having to make a quick call for a job, or requiring one-to-one help with every aspect of their job search,” said Steve Elliman, a job search advisor at the centre. For clients requiring more in-depth services, case managers are available. They work with youth and adults, disabled persons, survivors of violence, immigrants, or those needing access to training, wage subsidies or self employment. For businesses, the WorkBC program offers a number of services. For example, the targeted wage subsidy program is an employment service that provides employers with financial assistance with the wages of eligible individuals they hire. It helps individuals who may lack work experience by building their skills and improving their ability to become employed. The work practicum assists eligible individuals who lack work experience by providing an opportunity to gain knowledge and understanding of a workplace environment and employer expectations in the workplace. Employers do not pay the individuals in the practicum, however, they are expected to provide constructive feedback and evaluation of job performance. “We are out in the community regularly, talking to businesses about what is happening in their industry in order to provide them with services and share information with job seekers,” said Horsfield. In trades services, Cory Rudsvick acts as a liaison between potential apprentices and the employers who are willing to take them on. He also informs employers about the training tax credit program that provides tax breaks for employers and apprentices who are engaged in eligible apprenticeship programs administered through the Industry Training Authority. The Employment Program of B.C. is funded by the provincial and federal governments. For more information about the local WorkBC program, or services for businesses, visit www.futuresbc.com.

Questions for small business
T
hough most owners of a small business know the details of their operation inside and out, not all of them are aware of the tax, retirement and estate planning strategies available to them. These strategies can potentially minimize your personal and corporate taxes, increase your retirement income, provide an effective succession plan for your business and enhance your estate. However, every small business owner is different. As a result, a particular tax or retirement income planning strategy that may work for one business owner may not necessarily be appropriate for you. To start determining those strategies that may be appropriate, you should Kirbey Lockhart answer the following eight questions. Have you incorporated your business? If your business is structured as a sole proprietorship, you may be wondering if it makes sense to incorporate. A number of factors will go into making your decision, most of them tax-related. This includes weighing the potential loss of personal tax deductions available to sole proprietorships versus the corporate income-splitting opportunities available. Have you discussed tax minimization strategies with your tax advisor? If you personally own an incorporated Canadian business, there are many different tax-planning strategies that can benefit you and your family, such as paying dividends to a spouse and adult children.
GUEST COLUMN
Do you have excess cash in your corporation? If so, your first step is to determine whether you have a business need for the cash. If you do, choose an appropriate investment solution based on your time horizon. If you don’t need it for the business, determine the most tax-effective ways to either withdraw it or utilize it for future goals, like estate or retirement planning. What would happen to your family and your business if you passed away or became disabled today? Evaluate whether you have adequate insurance in the event of death or disability. Also consider your plans for passing along control and ownership of your business, including your buy-sell agreement. Do you have enough assets to meet your retirement income needs? Consider creating or updating your financial plan to determine if you will have adequate assets and income to meet your tax, retirement and estate planning goals. Are you aware of opportunities to increase retirement income and reduce corporate tax? As an owner of a corporation, you have several strategies available to you that can help you to not only reduce or defer corporate income tax but also enhance your retirement income. Do you plan on selling your business to someone outside your family? There are several issues to consider, including whether the purchaser is interested in buying the assets or shares of your business. If they are interested in buying the shares, you may be able to claim a capital gains exemption.

ns... Worry Taking theHome Renovatio
HOW TO PLAY:
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You should screen new involvements very carefully at this time, because if you don’t you could be held partially liable for a financial expense. Set firm ground rules for any new undertaking. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be extremely careful what you say when dealing with an unfamiliar group, in case one among them is a troublemaker who might later repeat your words in a very unflattering light. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Any favor you do for another should come from the goodness of your heart. If your kindness has other motives, it will backfire on you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) A poorly informed friend might encourage you to gamble on something about which you both know little or nothing. Don’t allow the blind to lead the blind. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Ambition is an extremely laudable trait, provided you don’t hurt anybody else in your quest for success. Acquiring a tarnished victory won’t give you much to admire. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If you deviate from your plans, you’re likely to lose focus and squander effort on unproductive targets. Stick to your agenda, and you’ll do just fine. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Make sure that you stay on your toes when it comes to a group endeavor. Be certain that each person can hold
up his or her end, and that everyone in the group benefits equally. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) A matter that is significant to both you and your mate could easily pull you two separate directions if you’re not on the same page. Hold together. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Think twice before taking a friend up on his or her offer to help you out with a project. Unless he or she is a pro, this person might be more of a hindrance than a benefit. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) It might be wise to avoid knowingly going out on a limb and taking a huge financial risk. Unless you’re absolutely sure you can successfully pay back any involved loans, hold off. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) The difference between harmony and anger in your household might lie in keeping very delicate balance. Be extra careful, because even a small infraction could ignite a firestorm.
HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. 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 uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder IT’S NOT A GUESS IF IT IS AVOIDED Will Rogers said, “I guess there is nothing that will get your mind off everything like golf. I have never been depressed enough to take up the game, but they say you get so sore at yourself you forget to hate your enemies.” Bridge is surely an even better escape from reality than golf. But the key word for today’s deal is “guess” -- how can South guess spades? He is in four hearts, and West leads the trump queen. The bidding was straightforward. Remember, though, that because North might have raised one heart to two with only three-card support, South’s jump to four hearts promises at least
a five-card suit. With only four hearts, South should make a different rebid, perhaps three no-trump. The lead suggests that trumps are 3-1, not 2-2. And if so, declarer might lose two spades, one heart and one diamond. If South had to guess spades now, he should play low to his jack. West, with the spade ace, would not have led the suit; but with only the queen, he might have chosen that lead. However, unless East has the diamond king and queen, South does not need to guess at all. He should win the first trick on the board and play a diamond to his jack. Let’s assume West wins with his queen and perseveres with another
trump. South wins, cashes the diamond ace, and plays on clubs. If West ruffs in, he must either lead a spade around to declarer’s king-jack, or concede a ruff-andsluff. And if West discards throughout, he is given the lead at trick nine with a trump. Again, West is endplayed.

Isabella Lawson Foote
Annual General Meeting of N.O.H.A Board
Obituaries
Isabella Lawson Foote (nee Robertson) of Vernon, B.C. ‘graduated’ on July 9th, 2012 at the age of 98 years young leaving behind an amazing legacy of love and life! Born in Mara, B.C. on July 5th, 1914 to John and Margaret Robertson, Isabella was the youngest in the family of seven and although the youngest, came with the strongest zest for life. Isabella spent her growing up years on the farm on Riverside Road in Mara along with her sister, three brothers and cousins. They worked hard but also ‘played hard’ – swimming in the river, playing badminton and going to dances were favorite activities. She was very proud to be a lifetime pioneer of this area. When she was about eighteen Isabella moved to Vernon and worked at St. Michael’s Girls School. Not long after she met Edward Henry Foote at a dance and they were married on June 18th, 1935 in the little church in Mara. They built their home in Vernon in 1936 and she resided in that home Ed built for her until February 1st of this year when she moved to Carrington Place. Isabella was a sports fan – especially tennis, hockey and curling and played badminton until she was 86 years old and every game she played, she played to win! She even won gold and silver in the Senior Games. In earlier years they played a lot of tennis on their tennis court across the street which was Àooded in the winter for a skating rink. Isabella was always happy to see friends and relatives drop in and loved to get to know her neighbours. She also enjoyed the many evenings playing cards with their dear friends Dave and Alma Howrie. Isabella was an ‘at home’ mom but in her younger years she packed apples every fall for McDonald’s Packing House and was later employed by Eaton’s Store until she retired in the late 1970s. In the late 1960s Ed and Isabella built a cabin on Mara Lake at Swansea Point – a place they loved and where many happy times were spent with family and friends. She was blessed with the gift of hospitality and many bene¿ted from that special gift throughout her life. Isabella is survived by her daughter Rita (Keith) Perry and three granddaughters, Heather (Anthony), Charisse (John) and Glynis (Christopher); and Michael and Sasha; twelve great-grandchildren; her sister, Margaret (Madge) and she was ‘Auntie Is’ or ‘Auntie Isa’ to several nieces and nephews whom she held close to her heart. She was predeceased by her husband Ed in 1986; her son Derek in 1978; and three brothers, Robert, Edward and John. Our heartfelt gratitude to the Interior Health staff for their support, counsel, and care over the last four years – their service allowed our Mom and Grandmother to stay in her home to just about the very end – her greatest desire. Additionally, we thank all who supported her during her ¿nal adventure: Carrington Place, the nurses at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, Dr. Botha and especially the caring staff at Schaffer Residence at Oakside in Enderby – not only did they provide her with beautiful care but the support to Isabella’s family which will be cherished always. Finally, a ‘great big thank you’ to Isabella’s neighbours for always being there to help out in these latter years –you made a difference in her life! A Celebration Of Isabella’s Life will be held at Bethel Funeral Chapel on Saturday, July 28th, 2012 at 2:00 P.M. with a tea to follow. Her desire was to be cremated and buried with her husband and son. A private burial will take place at a later time. Should anyone so desire, a memorial donation may be made to the charity of your choice.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother Emilie Clarke on July 11, 2012 in Vernon at 89 years of age. Emilie the ĮŌh of seven children born in Glidehurst, Alberta to Mary and William Sych is survived by her daughter Annabelle (Gerry) of Surfside California, daughter Melody (Allan) and grandsons Clark and ScoƩ of North Vancouver, her sister Marg Forster of Edmonton, her brother Walter Sych of Edmonton, and her sister in law Phyllis Gray of Vernon. She is predeceased by her husband Gerry Clarke and sisters Sandra, Ann, Neƫe and Elizabeth. Emilie and Gerry moved to the Okanagan in 1972 from Edmonton and enjoyed a rich life with their many friends and family here. Despite recent medical challenges her determinaƟon and independent will was legendary and admired by many. She will be sorely missed. We would like to thank Dr. BreƩ Poulin and the staī of Royal Jubilee for their compassionate care. At her request she will be cremated and interred in Edmonton. DonaƟons in her name can be made to the Upper Room Mission in Vernon hƩp://www.vernonurm. org/donate.php Address 3403-27 Avenue, VST 1S2. In life we loved you dearly In death we love you sƟll In our hearts you have a special place No one else will ever Įll It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone For part of us went with you The day they called you home For those wishing to share a memory of Emilie, please go to www.hollyburnfunerals.com Hollyburn Funeral Home 604-922-1221
“Goodbye for now, ‘til we meet again.”
