Region mussels up infestation protection richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Pressure is growing to prevent a potentially devastating species from moving to the Okanagan. The Regional District of North Okanagan board will write the federal government to initiate measures to stop the spread of zebra and quagga mussels. “They are the only ones who can mandate border inspections. We want a date for action,” said director Rob Sawatzky. Support for tough measures is also being sought from the Union of B.C. Municipalities. Both mussels are native to eastern Europe and they have spread across North America since the 1980s.
These mussels clog water intake pipes, pumps and boat motors. They also deplete food sources for fish and produce toxins that kill fish and birds and contaminate drinking water. “Every female can have a million offspring in a year,” said Heather Larratt, an aquatic biologist working with the Okanagan Basin Water Board. Based on the potential impact to drinking water infrastructure, fisheries, tourism and real estate values, Larratt believes the mussels could cost the Okanagan $43 million annually. “If we were to compare it to milfoil (weed), it would be like comparing dandelions to mountain pine

There is concern that the zebra and quagga mussels will move into Okanagan lakes. beetle,” she said. Larratt says there is a need to inspect boats coming across the U.S. border and it’s essential for boaters to take the necessary steps to ensure they aren’t transporting the mussels in their boats.

She also says there may be a need for local decontamination stations. “The clock is ticking. We may have a few years (before they arrive) but we need to get going,” said Larratt. Director Juliette Cunningham isn’t impressed with the provincial government’s response to the potential threat. “Fining people (money) after the infestation is too late,” she said. “We need to focus on preventative aspects.” RDNO is also looking at what it can do at local boat launches to create public awareness. “Even a paddleboard or kayak can bring the species in,” said director Mike Macnabb.
Director Mary-Jo O’Keefe wants the 2014 budget talks to consider funding for a mussel strategy. “Eventually we will need a boat cleaner,” she said.

Homeless camps decrease in Vernon richard rolke Morning Star Staff
There appears to be fewer people living on the street in Vernon. A June survey only found two homeless camps. “It means we are having success in connecting people who are homeless to the Gateway shelter and other agencies,” said Sharkey Annette Sharkey, with Partners in Action, which focuses on social issues. In May 2012, there were no camps while there were 16 in October 2010 and 30 in June 2009. When individuals are found in a homeless camp, they are provided with information on services that
may assist them. Partners in Action has also updated its homeless strategy, but two ongoing gaps in the community is a lack of supported housing for women and detox services. One pilot project in the works would focus on medically monitored detox so individuals can get assistance in a timely manner. “It’s a very exciting project,” said Sharkey. In other matters, Partners in Action also continues to try and reduce the risk for local sex trade workers. One initiative will see businesses in areas where prostitution is an issue asked to collect the licence plate numbers of customers and pass them on to the RCMP. “The program should be up and running in the next couple of weeks,” said Sharkey.
Missing ATV riders dead Morning Star Staff
Two people missing in the Lake Country area have been found dead. A man and a woman, both 30, had gone for a ride on a quad to the Oyama Lake Road lookout Thursday at 9 p.m. However, they did not return and a search began. On Friday at 2:50 p.m., Kelowna Search and Rescue located the quad in a ravine on Oyama Lake Road. “The persons were located and were fatally injured,” said Cpl. Barbara
Holley, with the Lake Country RCMP detachment. An RCMP press release had stated that the couple were unfamiliar with the area. The all-terrain vehicle accident remains under investigation and the B.C. Coroner Service is now involved in the case. Besides Kelowna Search and Rescue, the search involved the RCMP and the Lake Country Fire Department.

Edgson avoids fire hall debate A North Westside official insists he is not getting in the middle of a conflict at the fire hall. The Regional District of Central Okanagan has hired an interim fire chief because longtime chief Wayne Carson is on leave. “How this came about is between Wayne Carson and regional district management and it’s a personnel matter,” said director Jim Edgson, adding that elected officials do not get involved in staffing issues. RDCO has stated Carson requested a leave of absence while Carson has stated that’s not the case. No reasons for the leave have been provided. Carson, who has been chief for 19 years, was suspended by the regional district for three days in June. The details for the suspension have also never been made public. Carson believes he will return as chief but he is not sure when that may occur. Doug Gardiner, a retired assistant chief with Saanich for 27 years, has been named North Westside’s interim chief. “I am very happy an experienced person is coming in at this difficult time,” said Edgson. “My only concern is always the safety of the community and that this fire department continues to do an excellent job.”
When asked if the situation with Carson can be resolved, Edgson said, “Both the regional district and I hope for that.”

Housed in the back of the Sun Valley Mall downtown, at the corner of Coldstream Avenue and 34th Street, since November 1999, the community policing office is heading across town to the former City of Vernon bylaws building at the corner of 29th Street and 32nd Avenue effective July 29. “Part of the reason for the move is from the core review, making sure we are going into city-owned facilities instead of spending taxpayers’ money on rent,” said Rachael Zubick, community policing
from the RCMP detachment. “People will also come and talk to us when they’re not too sure where to go when dealing with bylaw matters or whether they even realize it’s a bylaw matter,” said Zubick. “They’ll come to us when they’re home has been broken into and they need more information about where to
go from there.” Things like a dead goose and other interesting items have been brought to the community policing office to find out what the next thing to do is. Zubick relies on a bevy of volunteers to help things run smoothly. “My volunteers are the most amazing thing and the reason why this unit manages to maintain what we have to date,” she said. “The majority of my volunteers have been with me for five-to-10 years, and there are 30 of them. “We’re always look-
ing for volunteers. We have several different areas where people can help.” The Vernon Community Policing Office is part of the City of Vernon RCMP Safe Communities Unit, which is also moving effective July 29. The safe communities unit will be housed in Vernon City Hall, and is home to the business/ seniors, rural, regional and crime prevention coordinators. Restorative Justice Society North Okanagan also moves from Sun Valley Mall to city hall.

of land above Westside Road, which is part of Fintry Provincial Park but is owned by the regional district, for a lowland field. The field is part of the park but not used by B.C. Parks. If RDCO owns the field, commercial farm sales could occur because B.C. Parks’ policies currently don’t allow items to be taken out of a park. Under the rules, that could pertain to vegetables and fruit grown there.
Director Jim Edgson supports the land swap and says a farm could make more people aware of Fintry Provincial Park. “It would be part of the historical ambiance for the park,” he said. Dun-Waters purchased the Short’s Creek delta in 1909 and named it after his Scottish home of Fintry. He was known for his keen interest in agriculture, including apples and livestock.

Sauce served up across B.C. A Vernon restaurant has cooked up a hometown partnership that is spreading its taste across the province. The Italian Kitchen Company has only been brewing and distributing its sauces for five months. While the flavours of Italy have only recently been available at the restaurant and select local stores, they are now making their way across the province. The Italian Kitchen Sauce Company has entered into a distribution agreement with Summit Specialty Foods for the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and the Kootenays. “The entire team of both the restaurant and the sauce company have worked very hard to launch these products,” said Brad Brousseau, who founded the Italian Kitchen Sauce Company in February 2013

“We knew from our first meeting that the product was excellent.” — David Baker
with Katie Bellamy. “From everyone in the back end of the kitchen to the front end, they have all had a hand in the success, working night shifts...labelling. Everyone has helped in some way.” The product is expanding through the Lower Mainland with the new partnership. “This is a true B.C. based partnership,”
said Summit Specialty Foods president David Baker. “We are excited to partner with the Italian Kitchen Sauce Company. We knew from our first meeting that the product was excellent and would be a great fit for our product line. And the fact that both our companies are based in Vernon is a huge benefit to everyone.” Summit Specialty Foods is a manufacturer, importer and distributor of organic, natural and gourmet foods. “Over the past 12 years of business, we have managed over 75 leading brands, today distributing more than 1,400 natural organic and specialty products,” said Baker. Brousseau adds: “We look forward to a great long-term relationship with David and his team. This is a huge step for our company.”

Back on my feet
hat’s the thing about getting sick in the summertime, you’re always so grateful for the little things you can do again once you’re back on your feet. Like, literally getting out of bed in the morning. And, even better yet, feeling like you want to get out of bed in the morning. And eating. And drinking. And breathing. You see nothing makes you feel more like a loser than lying in your bed feeling crappy, on a weekend, no less, while seemingly the rest of the world outside your bedroom window is enjoying the sunshine, the lakes, the 32-degree weather, you know, basically living their lives as residents of the Okanagan are supposed to in July. But if you ain’t got your health, as they say. Glenn Mitchell And us guys can get pretty melodramatic about it – the “why me and why now?” refrain in your head can dominate your thinking, especially when you suddenly have so much time to think because your life has come down to tossing and turning while you’re lying in bed and occasionally paying attention to what’s on TV. And really, the TV doesn’t help that much. The commercials, especially around dinner time, tempt you with all kinds of food you can’t eat and at this point in time don’t even want to look at, not to mention all the ads for lawyers specializing in accident claims, the ads for zit creme and the ads for new and improved ways to make money from the comfort of your own home – that all combine to make you feel even worse about yourself. But the pity party can’t last forever, especially in my house where after a few days my loved ones begin to get tapped out in the sympathy department (although it should be pointed out my parents came by a couple times to check on me but then again they don’t have to live with me on a fulltime basis, anymore). And I can’t really blame them. You get pretty
MitChEll’S MuSingS
self-centred when you’re sick, especially us guys, but it’s partly because we’re talking about survival here people. It takes so much effort to do anything when you’re sick you don’t have time to think about how your condition is affecting other people. But then that, ironically, as you get a little better, leads to a lot of gratitude for those same people when you start to feel a little better. Like where would I be without them? In sickness and in health, as they say. I mean, geez, maybe they’re losing some patience with me but they didn’t desert me either, and they’ve got my back and hopefully if the cards are changed they’ve got mine. And as you start to feel better and capable of actual human-type activity all the things that depressed you last week that you couldn’t enjoy – the weather, the food, the drink, the feeling of summertime in the Okanagan – are now all reasons to feel good about things and act as motivators to get better so that you can really enjoy them. And so on, and so on. So as I write this, feeling roughly 85.5 per cent of normal, one looks back on the lessons learned from my few days, well, bed-ridden I guess, but if truth be told the couch and easychair played starring roles as well, there are life lessons to be learned. Although I don’t know exactly what made me sick, I know I can do a lot better in trying to prevent the damn thing from occurring in the first place. So I’m suddenly motivated to eat better, exercise more (OK, actually start) and just take care of myself a little better. There is some personal responsibility at play here, at least in my case. But also to be more grateful for the little things in life, like the sun coming up in the morning, the people in your life, eating, drinking, the energy and desire to do what you can with each day as it unfolds before you.... OK, I’m starting to sound like a poster I saw somewhere but do try to have a good weekend. I know I’m going to.
We all know the story of the boy who cried wolf, but concerns about zebra and quagga mussels are not being overexaggerated. The mussels first arrived in North America from Europe in the 1980s. Since then, they have spread across the continent, devastating ecosystems and public infrastructure along the Great Lakes, the Mississippi River basin and Lake Tahoe. Anyone who believes the Okanagan is immune to this problem is being unrealistic. Given high levels of calcium (needed for the development of shells) in local lakes, the invasive species could thrive here. They clog water intake pipes and pumps, deplete food sources for indigenous fish and produce toxins that contaminate drinking water. Imagine walking along beaches covered in razor-sharp shells. Not only would recreational activities suffer, real estate values would be impacted. Given the potential ramifications, it is critical that all residents support the Regional District of North Okanagan, which is demanding senior levels of government take immediate action to prevent an infestation or at least slow the species’ arrival. All boats coming into B.C. from the U.S. or Alberta must undergo thorough inspection, while decontamination stations must be established at key locations in the Okanagan. As director Juliette Cunningham points out, levying a fine after a infestation occurs isn’t sufficient. “We need to focus on preventative aspects,” she said. Given the value we all place on our Okanagan lifestyle, write your MP and MLA and insist that they take the issue of zebra and quagga mussels seriously. Time is running out.

Railway blues in the Okanagan
he recent announcement that Kelowna Pacific Railway is in bankruptcy is a setback not only to Vernon, where most of the employees are based, but also to the north and central Okanagan, where several major industries rely on rail transportation. If the trustee winds up the railway and it ceases to be a carrier, the result will be the closure or relocation of businesses out of the Okanagan or a shift from rail to highway transportation. We all know what more traffic will mean to our already overcrowded highways – more big trucks, more congestion, more pollution and greater hazards on the routes going through the centres of Vernon, Kelowna and most other communities in the Okanagan. If this trend continues, it can only mean a reduction in the quality of life we treasure. There has to be something distinctly out of place in the transportation policies of the federal and provincial governments when an efficient transportation system, with a steel wheel on a steel rail, paying its own way on its own right-of-way, with one power source hauling many times the capacity of a truck-trailer combination, cannot compete with highway transportation.
wildfire risk On July 15, I went up the King Edward Road with my brother and sister-in-law to watch him do his wing flying off the mountain. On the way up, we passed a man and a woman who had been camping on a little pullout off the road, and they had a small campfire going. An hour later on our way back down the mountain, we came to the campsite and there was no one there. It was quite strange as the campfire was still going. All we had in the car were our water bottles and an old empty plastic bread bag we found on the road to pack water from a creek across the road and through a barbed wire fence. After watching the news on the fire at Ellison park, I'm wondering if some people are totally dumb and dumber when it comes to fires with the forest so dry? Jenny douglas
Every engineering study has shown that rail transport is about three times more efficient than trucking. In other words the same unit of fuel can haul a unit weight 3.5 times more distance by rail than it can by truck. On the branch lines, where trains are smaller and loads are lighter, consider that each rail car is carrying about 2.5 semi trucks worth of goods. In other words, a 10-car train is removing 25 trucks from the road.
It is especially galling that at this stage that the expensive Highway 97 relocation from Oyama to Winfield, at $80 million, is almost completed, the premier is talking of another Okanagan Lake crossing just a few years after a $75 million new bridge was completed. Yet, we have no discussion of maintaining and improving an established, viable and very efficient transportation corridor that receives nothing in public subsidies even though it contributes substantially to safer highways and reduced
cosens bay In your article about the man that fell off his horse, you state that, “Due to the injuries he sustained, it was determined that he should be transported by boat to the ambulance.” What if the lake was choppy and had whitecaps on it? Is anyone concerned that an ambulance is not able to provide emergency services, when they should be able to access all of the way to Cosens Bay by a safe road. When B.C. Parks put a gate on the road in 1993, it was taken to court by the property owners in Cosens Bay. The property owners won and B.C. Parks had to remove the gate and Cosens Bay Road was now open to the public. What most people may not know is the judge only ruled on the one road because that was all the property owners were concerned with. But what was called Corral Road down to Cosens Bay is also another road that B.C. Parks has closed and the public should have access to the beach by a safe road.
Parks has closed the road to the beach and has not allowed the Ministry of Transportation to properly maintain Cosens Bay Road. They are putting lives at risk in instances like this where this man’s life was in danger. Public safety and enjoyment of the park does not seem to be B.C. Parks' goal. With the road properly open and maintained to Cosens Bay, ambulances and rescue crews would be able to do their jobs in a more efficient manner. People in wheelchairs or parents with strollers would be able to access the beach. With proper parking, lots people would not have to wander out on to the road to enter the park, and if designed appropriately, horse trailers would have a special area to park and unload their horse’s safely without cars, dogs, bikers and people rushing by. Loading and unloading a horse can be a challenge and currently puts everyone in that area at risk. brent Hauberg
congestion. Not to mention is the scarring of the landscape when 100-foot highways are built compared to the 25 feet minimally needed for one track. Governments might well look at the industrial assessment established by the province for land and improvements on rail rights-of-way, and the taxes the railway companies pay in the municipalities and electoral areas. They might well look at highways and the extravagant land consumption required for highway corridors and intersections and the divisive effects these features have on communities, and compare them with the narrower corridors for railway. They might project these conditions into the future when population estimates are for substantial population increases in a narrow valley where quality of life is a major attribute. Further, they might establish the increased cost for road beds, bridges and overpasses required to accommodate heavier truck loads as compared with automobile traffic. There will always be a need for truck transportation, but the ground rules should be based on equity and fairness for all the players. Peter Tassie

Council will write the horseback riders and ask them to change their habits voluntarily or they risk enforcement. “We’d like to see common sense,” said McCune. “If not, there is a bylaw in Greg McCune place with ticketing, or we ban horses in Enderby.” Another concern from residents has been horses on sidewalks. “It should be noted that the City of Enderby does not have the ability to enforce its bylaws outside of city limits, such as on the Bawtree bridge, or on the arterial highway (George Street),” said Tate Bengston, deputy chief administrative officer, in a memo. “However, as the city is responsible for cleaning the sidewalks along George Street, it is the city’s position that it has sufficient authority to enforce its bylaws on sidewalks forming part of an arterial highway.”

Sports and culture are getting a boost. Provincial gaming grants are being provided to four North Okanagan organizations. “These grants are significant and help groups like these continue their fantastic work,” said Greg Kyllo, Shuswap MLA. Spallumcheen’s Caravan Farm Theatre will receive Greg Kyllo $25,000 while there is $20,000 for the Larch Hills Nordic Society, near Enderby. The Silver Star Freestyle Ski Club will receive $14,375 and the Vernon Winter Carnival Society will get $30,000. “These organizations are important, as they help people keep active, healthy, and engaged in the community,” said Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA.

Director pursues trail support A politician has done his part for other communities and now he is looking for some return in kind. Bob Fleming, BX-Swan Lake director, is urging other Regional District of North Okanagan members to provide funds for his proposed trail from Okanagan College to the Lake Country border. “Here is an opportunity for anyone interested in this to contribute,” he said.
“Here is an opportunity for anyone interested.” — Bob Fleming
“Area B community works (gas tax) funds have been directed to all kinds of projects like the Shuswap River watershed sustainability plan.” Fleming also provided gas tax funds to Coldstream for development of a bike path on
Kidston Road. The cost of the 14-kilometre project is $200,000 to $350,000 and presently, BX-Swan Lake is the leading funding source. Fleming says there are broad benefits for the entire region as the route will be used
by local residents and attract tourists to take in the views of Kalamalka Lake. While no jurisdictions have committed funding for construction yet, the trail, once completed, will be maintained by the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee, which includes Vernon, Coldstream and the two electoral areas. “We will be making sure the garbage is picked up and the trail is safe. Maintenance should be minimal,” said Fleming.

De Boer quick study on gridiron Carson de Boer’s mission is to build up his football playbook in time for the high school season this fall at Fulton. He’s only played one year of community ball so needs to catch up. The Lawyer Malloy and Golden Tate Sports International Football Camp in Tacoma last week was his second big outing after making Team B.C. Under 16 in late May. The four-day Washington State camp at Pacific Lutheran University was pretty much a fantasy with Malloy, a fourtime Pro Bowl strong safety, and Tate, a Seattle Seahawks’ receiver, joining other current NFLers. “I received some amazing one-on-one university level and pro level coaching every day and felt like I grew as a player from the first day to the last day,” said de Boer, who turns 16 on Aug. 9. “Through the week we had the pleasure of having Golden Tate and Lawyer Malloy with us for most of our on-field workouts. They were great inspirations for us as they could speak from a lot of experience playing highlevel football and talked to us about their journey into the NFL and some of the successes and struggles they faced along the way.” On Day 2, de Boer, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound defensive end, went through a defensive workout with KJ Wright and Mike Morgan of the Seahawks. “Seeing a real pro do some of the drills in front of me, and then having them help me work on some defensive moves was a thrill to say the least. I really enjoyed the talks that the NFL players and coaches gave us at the end of every workout. They talked about things like commitment to the sport, dedication, being and having role models, setting goals, setting priorities and surrounding yourself with good people. There were many lessons I will take away from this week, both as a player and a person.” At camp’s end, de Boer was awarded a Gridiron Elite Certificate of excellence. “I was so excited and honoured to be recognized with a group of 11 other amazing high school players from across the U.S.A. (and one from Canada). I guess this was the icing on the cake for me capping off a wonderful week. Meeting and spending time with Lawyer Malloy was also an incredible experience. He was very passionate about Kevin Mitchell/Morning Star hard work and leading yourself and others. His words of wisdom when I left the camp were to keep working hard Fulton’s carson de Boer is proving to be a quick study as he and keep giving it my all to reach my goals.” immerses himself in high school and community football. De Boer played for Doug Cook’s Bantam Vernon Derksen was also an assistant coach with Team B.C. He’s Wolverines last season and was named Rookie of the Year. He was invited to the B.C. Star Bowl and played for the very high on de Boer. “What doesn’t he bring to the field?” Valley All-Stars in Abbotsford in April chuckled Derksen. “For being in his under head coach Mike Derksen. first year, he caught on to the game Based on his performance at the quickly and his understanding of the Star Bowl, de Boer was then invited to game was unbelievable. His intensity the Team B.C. U16 trials on the May — Carson de Boer and level of play was high. He works long weekend in Richmond.

so hard every down. You can’t get him off the field. He was begging us to put him back out there.” Team B.C. competed in the Red River Cup, July 5-14 in Winnipeg but a clerical error which saw de Boer listed on the B.C. Under 18 roster, prohibited de Boer from playing. “It was disappointing, but I totally understood and these things happen,” said de Boer. “I know that there are lots of setbacks as an athlete so I took the two weeks at the beginning of summer (where I would have been at Red River Cup) to focus on my development and make the most of my time on the football field with my camps. “I kept a close eye on the Red River Cup updates while I was away and was cheering those guys on. They won the gold medal and I think that they were a super team and deserved all the good things that happened out there.” Vernon’s Tyler Riva, 14, was identified as a future prospect from the Team B.C. tryouts in a program they refer to as “Quest to be the best.” De Boer played some defence in hockey a few years ago, now skis in the winter and shoots in the high 80s on the golf course and wakeboards. He figures his attitude impressed the coaches at the Coast. “I think it’s just my work ethic and definitely my effort, always giving 110. Even though I’m still new to it, I’m trying to learn and I’m always listening. The coaches taught me a lot for sure. They gave me a lot of good skills that I hope to carry over into Fulton this year. I learned a lot more about the position and how hard I’ll have to work to get where I wanna be.” He also hopes to enjoy another season of minor football (Midget). “It (first season) went well. I really learned a lot. They definitely taught me the fundamentals I needed to take forward. I definitely need to work on my strength, mainly my speed, just so I can get to that next level. He (Cook) gave me a lot of positive feedback on how I played. He was always encouraging me since I was just beginning and didn’t really know what was going on.” Said Cook: “He was just a pleasure to coach. He’s an athlete and he really wanted to learn. He’s a real fine young man and a good sportsman, kind of a kid you wish you had five or six of on your team every year.” A quiet and unassuming honours student who plans to study business and play at the university level, de Boer is a gym rat who impressed Fulton head coach Mike Scheller at a mini camp in early June. “He’s got a big level of skill,” said Scheller, who took last season off to help coach a AAAA school in Las Vegas. “I like his enthusiasm and he’s a tough kid. He’s a go-getter so we’re happy with him so far. We’re pretty small this year and he’s going to be our biggest kid so we’ll be playing him at (defensive) end and tackle. At D-end, he gets off the ball well and I like his aggression.” De Boer says he looks up to his parents, Jason and Lisa, while trying to be a role model for younger siblings Tyler, 12, and Taylor, seven.

Valentine feels Vancouver vibe
E
ven at 55, Carl Valentine resembles a wide-eyed tyke attending his first summer soccer camp. Gigantic smile. Endless energy. Non-stop chatter with the kids and parents. The most recognized player in Vancouver Whitecaps’ history was at Marshall Field this week for one of the Major League Soccer (MLS) team’s Play Like a Pro Camps. The Manchester, England product was Kevin Mitchell a 20-year-old roadrunner rookie winger when the Whitecaps claimed the 1979 North American League title. He fell in love with Vancouver and became a Canadian citizen in 1983. The Caps were bigger than the Canucks back in the day, attracting close to a million adoring fans to a victory parade
downtown. Valentine’s stunning smile and magic down the wings made him a player to watch. “I’ve been blessed to find Vancouver and I was blessed to be popular with the fans and it continues to grow,” said Valentine, who was nicknamed Chalkie by his Oldham Athletic manager Jimmy Frizzel because he stayed out wide. “My role now is just being out in the community and selling this great brand, which is an easy sell. I’m having the time of my life. I’m not coaching or playing and I’m just loving it.” The father of two daughters and one son spent 13 years with the Vancouver 86ers and was a natural choice to join the Caps as a paid ambassador. He’s excited about the Caps’ evolution. They won six games in their MLS debut three years ago, upped that to 11 wins last year and were 9-5-5 and third in the Western Conference going into a Saturday game versus the L.A. Galaxy. “The first year in the MLS, we had sellouts and it was new,” he said. “We were the worst team in the league. The second year, we did better. We got a new coaching staff and made the playoffs but weren’t that entertaining. “And this year, we’re capturing imagination. We’re the highest scoring team in the MLS, we’re winning games with flair, we’ve got Camilo (Sanvezzo) scoring magical goals and you can see wherever you go now, it’s getting infectious, this Whitecap momentum.” Valentine said the Caps are coming together and hold a great blend of youth and experience. A bunch of them went salmon fishing in West Vancouver on Thursday. Earlier this season, Honduran defender Johnny Leveron stopped Scottish striker Kenny Miller in a team table tennis tournament in Kansas City. Head coach Martin Rennie was knocked out in the semifinals. OPEN Kids in Vernon don’t know the SUNDAY TO names of many players, but the Caps FRIDAY are doing their part to change that culture. Valentine said the partnerships the franchise is building is cru250-549-4777 • #8 - 1800 Kal Lake Road, Vernon cial to success. Financing Available O.A.C.

Vancouver Whitecaps’ ambassador Carl Valentine (left) and current Caps’ striker Tom Heinemann give instructions during a Play Like a Pro camp this week at Marshall Field. “Whitecaps can’t do it on their own. Just because we’re in the MLS and we’ve got a big brand out there doesn’t mean that we can achieve all the goals we want. The owners want us to be an asset in the community, not just in the Lower Mainland, but in B.C. I’ve got seven visits to the Okanagan and I’m gonna bring a player up every time. “Last year, we had Camilo and Darren Mattocks and Gershan Koffie and Omar Salgado, high-profile players and it’s important because it creates dreams. We know how hard it is to be a professional. It doesn’t mean all of a sudden we’re going to have thousands and thousands of professionals playing at all different levels, but it does enhance dreams of these kids. And it gives them an opportunity to touch and feel and ask questions to professional soccer players.” Camilo, a Brazlian striker with moves like Jagger, leads the MLS in scoring with a dozen snipes and will represent the Caps as the league all-stars face AS Roma Wednesday, July 31 in Kansas City. Tom Heinemann, a 6-foot-4 striker, was also a big hit at the Vernon camp. Heinemann, a 26-year-old St. Louis product, scored three times with the Columbus Crew last year. He’s high on Camilo, who at $200,000, is among highest paid Caps. “He’s on great form right now,” said Heinemann, a non-starter who makes
$47,500. “He’s a great player. He is very, very deadly on set pieces and it’s a very nice weapon for our team, to be able to execute on set pieces and get goals that way. He’s a good finisher, he’s quick and he’s motivated. He works very hard.” Heinemann is a story in that he was a walk-on at Rockhurst University in Kansas City before enjoying some success in Charleston and Raleigh in the United League. He has played in seven games, getting one goal this year. “I always look at it as everyday, fighting and competing to get time. Every player on the roster wants to play and it’s a privilege to play so that’s my focus and goal is getting on the team.” Heinemann, whose wife, Katrina, is a nurse in Vancouver, loves sharing his experiences and interacting with kids at camps, something he missed growing up in St. Louis. He was modest when asked about his strengths as a striker. “People probably say different things but I’m really blessed to be in this position and I thank God to be in this position. My faith is a big part of who I am and is very important to me.” He devotes some of his time to Athletes in Action, a Christian sports ministry that has active chapters in each of the 19 MLS centres.
Otto lifts Sistas past Rockets Morning Star Staff
Cassandra Otto scored with a minute to play as the Sunterra Custom Homes Sistas brushed back the Green Rockets 4-3 Thursday night at Marshall Field #2. Sarah Ehman took a quick throw-in to Nicole Williams, who passed to Otto, who nailed a low, hard shot into the corner, helping the Sistas improve to 9-1-1 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 2 play. The Rockets dropped to 6-5-1. Sistas’ keeper Suzyn August stopped a Green Rocket breakaway in the 10th minute and then quickly started a play up field to find Kim Sylvester, who crossed to the mother-daughter tandem of Lelsey and Nicole Williams. Mom Lesley played decoy while daughter Nicole tapped the ball into an empty net to start off the scoring. The Green crew then took advantage of their consistent big boots to catch August off her line, tying it up and taking the lead on another high, hard blast for a 2-1 lead at the break.
The Rockets went up by a deuce on a 25-yard bullet. Natalie Forster (2) and Leah Willinger handled the Rockets’ offence. Green starry keeper Rachel Cross kept her girls in the game with several clutch saves. The Sunterra crew began a comeback with 20 minutes left as Deanna Baker crossed to Sylvester, who got it right on the third try as her shot ricocheted off the crossbar and then off the keeper and off a defender. Sylvester finally used the opposite post to rebound it in to bring the orange girls to within one goal. With six minutes left, Jen Currie crossed to Otto, who struck a beauty from a sharp angle, curling it off the post and in, levelling things at 3-3. Amanda Gaythorpe and Tania Wirichowsky were tireless in the Sunterra midfield, while Becky Birblilis, Miranda Dalhuisen and Ehman used their smarts and speed on defence. Newbie Chrissy Kieneker sparkled for Sistas. The OMG Chick Kickers ambushed Centreline Attack 7-2 at Marshall #4.

Tigers look to clinch title tonight Morning Star Staff
Home-floor advantage is proving critical in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League final. Craig Bigsby supplied the hat trick as the Cats stopped the Kamloops Venom 8-5 in Game 3 of the best-of-five series Thursday night at Kal Tire Place. Vernon leads 2-1 and will have a chance to put the series away tonight (5:30) in Kamloops, but the home team has yet to lose in the final. If necessary, Game 5 would go Tuesday night (7:30) in Vernon. The winner advances to provincials over the B.C. Day long weekend at Bill Copeland Arena in Burnaby. Bigsby said playing in the larger, and considerably cooler, Vernon arena, has definitely worked to the Tigers’ advantage in the playoffs. “It makes it a lot easier,” said Bigsby, an alternate captain. “We can definitely spread out their dee and there’s so much more room to move. It makes 5-on-5 a lot easier.” Bigsby added that one of Vernon’s strengths is its poise. He said the team had full confidence it could come back with a good effort after losing Game 2. “We don’t ever get down on ourselves,” he said. Supplying singles for Vernon were Daryl Landels, Liam Drabiuk, Mason Limb, Ryan Sarazin and Quinton Harrish. Nolan Frame and Jay Seaton each chipped in with a pair of helpers. Bigsby said Vernon’s attack was well-serviced by its defence and transition. Harrish’s goal was an example of that as Vernon captain Brett Hanna stripped a Venom ball carrier, wheeled up court and fed Harrish, who scored in tight on Dalan Etter. “They never let down and the offence got a lot of opportunities off it.” The Tigers also trimmed their penalty minutes from 25 in Game 2 down to 14 Thursday night. “We had a lot of penalty minutes in the second (of Game 2) and we didn’t score any goals, so it was nice we score throughout the entire game this time,” said Bigsby, whose hat-trick goal came on a delayed penalty. Mason Limb fed him inside for a doorstep snipe on Etter. Answering for Kamloops were Mat James (2), Blaine Boomer (1+3), Trent Maunder and Brody Jorgensen.
Lisa VanderVeLde/Morning star
Joel Fruncillo recorded 40 saves for the win, while Etter supplied 38 stops for the Venom.
Controllers clamp down Kaos Continued from A14
Celine Conley and Brenda Bertin scored for the Attack (1-8-2). The Kickers went to 6-4. Centreline got terrific work by defender Tessa Derkson and amazing hustle on the wings by Amber Miller and Christine Beham. “Special thanks to the referee, Bruce Townsend, for his sharp calls,” said league vice-president and Centreline veteran Kris Ponto. “He called every elbow and aggressive lean right off the bat; which led to a very friendly match with no issues. “We really appreciate that in Division 2 where we have a mixed bag of players.” Meanwhile, the Controllers warmed up for the upcoming World Masters Games in Italy by grounding the Shuswap Kaos 4-1 Thurday at Marshall #1. Midfielder Sena Bishop got the Controllers’ offence rolling by streaking in to hammer one home from in close after Krista Backer and Felicia O’Gorman did all the work. Kaos answered right back with a high goal-line cross to the far post, followed by a one-time volley for the prettiest goal of the night. The Controllers’ Amy Shupe settled a 30-yard cross from Emma Louie on the sideline and neatly deposited it behind the Kaos keeper for a 2-1 lead at the half. Early in the second half, Jenny Currie
set up O’Gorman in tight and she managed to jam it by the keeper. Midfielder Michele Wernicke buried a 25-yard corker to close the scoring in a game that was never really close. Leslie Epp was confident filling in for regular keeper Mickey Templeton, who was busy getting a manicure in preparation for the World Masters. Coach Doug MacDonald said inspired play by Backer and Michelle Mercer, working hard right from the opening whistle, lifted the rest of the team as the girls passed the ball well, earning applause from the sidelines a number of times. The Controllers improved to 8-8-1, while the Kaos dipped to 4-9-1. North Okanagan United, who are also heading to Italy, had an injury-riddled 11-lady roster as they fell 3-0 to Setters Pub Thursday night in Salmon Arm. First-time keeper (Lean) Lena Dean stopped several shots in between chatting up the back line of Pat Neilson, Shelly Johnston and Penney Crebo-Dolman. Karen Semph tried net for the second half for the first time ever and aggressively tried to catch the ball like a slo-pitch catcher. Tania Willett was solid in the NOU middle, while ailing Cheryl Roddis provided some good crosses. Teresa Collins was formidable at centre mid and Pam Powell was on fire with her
fancy pre-Italian footwork. Carla Gibson was a sentinel keeping her side of the midfield free and providing many attacks toward the Setters’ net. NOU finished their Vernon season at 5-6-6, while Setters went to 8-4-3. In Masters play Friday night, the shorthanded Vernon Chick Kickers outgunned Seasons in the Okanagan Sistas 7-1 at Marshall #2. Starting with nine players, the 8-3-4 Chicks got onboard as Michelle Johnson converted a wonderful through ball from Jen Garnett. When their 10th player showed up, the Kickers started to play some good controlled soccer and never looked back. Melissa Jacobs continued her string of fine play by scoring a hat trick, one off a beautiful cross from Colline Johnson where Jacobs jumped up and side-footed the ball past a startled Wendy Nadeau. Garnett made easy work of a great cross from hard-working winger Tania Sladen, who then added two of her own. The Seasons crew is 1-13-1 In a rare Friday night Division 1 tilt, Dr. Lee’s Dental kept their win streak going with a 3-2 decision over NET Celtics at Marshall #4. Delina Erbenich opened the 11-2-1 floss crew’s account on a beautiful pass from Jenessa Moore in the first half.

Rogers Foods expands eastward Graeme Corbett Business Editor
It’s hard to imagine anything earth-shattering about porridge. Maybe that’s because it has been a staple food for so many people for so long. For most, porridge is simply a no-nonsense breakfast choice, something that requires boiled water and not much else. But it gets little fanfare considering the nutritional benefits it offers (research has shown it lowers blood cholesterol due to its soluble fibre content). Rogers Foods, in Armstrong, is doing its part to put porridge, along with its other hot cereals, back in the limelight. Well, at least when it comes to grocery shelves. Thanks to a simple re-design of its packaging, Rogers is ready to expand distribution from Western Canada to include the eastern provinces as well. By the spring of 2014, Brad Duggan, Rogers’ national sales manager, expects the products will be carried by almost every major retail banner across the country. Duggan, who works out of Rogers’ Burnaby-based corporate office, said the reason behind the re-design was twofold. First, by switching from the old pillow packs to a self-standing design, consumers are more likely to notice it. “We’ll now have a billboard effect as our products stand up on the shelf,” said Duggan, who notes the packages are also re-sealable for increased storage life and added convenience. “Consumers can read what the brand is and read the ingredients and the weight.” The other change is a reduction in the size of the package (from 1.35 kilograms down to 1 kilogram), so as to better fit on the smaller shelves used by the majority of grocery stores. Duggan said there will be a corresponding lowering of price. He expects the 1kg bags will sell for less than $4. “It (new size) increases our opportunity right across Canada,” said Duggan. “Western Canada represent 33 to 35 per cent of the population. So really, we have left behind 65 per cent. With this new packaging, we expect to go coast to coast.” To accommodate the changes, Rogers recently upgraded its 35-year-old packing system at the Armstrong plant. President Vic Bell said after considering other options, the decision to make the capital investment was the best way forward. “We found that by having the machine here, we could beat outsourcing,” said Bell, adding that contracting out production would also mean a loss of control over quality. “The reality is we’re doing eight different products on this machine, and to outsource eight different products it would be difficult.” The new production unit arrived at the end of June, and

Fully operational, the U.S.-built machine will produce 40 bags per minute. Rogers is packaging four hot cereals and four baking cereals in the new bags. Included in the hot cereal line are large flake oats, porridge oats, steel-cut porridge oat blend and porridge oat ancient grain blend. The baking lineup includes nine grain cereal, oat bran, wheat bran and wheat germ. To encourage consumers, Rogers is printing recipes on the packaging to show the different ways the product can be used. Bell said the expansion, combined with increasing consumer awareness of healthy food options, make this an exciting time for the 62-year-old company, which employs a staff
of 108 (55 at the Armstrong plant). “It’s exciting for us because for the first time we are seeing real interest in our hot cereals and oat-based products.” Added Duggan: “We’re getting a great response in Eastern Canada.

The trick, and mystique, of business is knowing what a customer is looking for. It is the difference between hits and misses and can be particularly difficult when the tourists businesses are attempting to attract are from a far-off location with different cultural norms.
This is one of the reasons why the Canadian Tourism Commission regularly publishes updates on 10 key international markets, including Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, South Korea and the U.K. Each profile includes a summary providing insights into the market conditions in
the country, macro-economic data and traveller forecasts for the coming year. Digging deeper, the guides give profiles of the kind of travellers from each market and reasons why past visitors from that country came to Canada. In addition, the guides show how Canada stacks up against international competitors in attracting visitors from
that nation, motivations for those particular visitors and what barriers discourage them. These market profile reports draw heavily from CTC’s three major consumer research studies – Global Tourism Watch, Explorer Quotient and Advertising Evaluation Studies.

After only two months of fundraising, Pizza Hut locations across B.C. have raised $26,581 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Telus Walk to Cure Diabetes. The money from the walk goes to JDRF, a foundation that helps fund research for type one diabetes, a disease that affects more than 300,000 Canadians. Statistics show there is a three to five percent rise type one diabetes annually, with the greatest rise being in children aged five to nine years. A total of 45 Pizza Hut stores across B.C. joined fundraising efforts, with the team at Pizza Hut on Columbia Street in Kamloops raising the most

money. They were followed by the team at the Hammond Bay location in Nanaimo and the crew at the Grandview location in Vancouver. “We’re very proud of all of our restaurants and employees for their fundraising efforts on behalf of JDRF,” said Mike Cyr, president of PH Restaurants LP. “The Telus Walk to Cure Diabetes is a great fundraising event and we would like to thank all of our customers who helped Pizza Hut set a new fundraising record this year.” This is the sixth year Pizza Hut’s B.C. market has raised money for the JDRF Telus Walk to Cure Diabetes, and this year they raised more than double the 2012 amount.

In reading the reports, businesses can find answers to questions such as: do Australians use a travel agent or book their trips on the web? How much do the Japanese spend when they vacation in Canada? Where in Canada do Americans like to visit, and when? How successful is Canada’s tourism brand in the marketplace? Combined with the findings from these studies, CTC’s research team has provided further analysis to give the Canadian tourism industry a short but sweet summary of each international market. Each market profile, housed in the market knowledge section of CTC’s corporate website, is broken into down into four main sections: Executive summary – A general overview of conditions in each market, ranging from macroeconomic data, traveller forecasts and an outlook for the coming year. Traveller profiles – A look at the characteristics of travellers in each market, including reasons for coming to Canada (such as visiting friends and family), how they get here (such as taking nonstop flights or coming to Canada after a visit to the U.S.). Competitive environment – How Canada ranks against its international tourism rivals for arrival numbers, air service and marketing performance. Marketing insights – A summary of traveller profiles, motivators, barriers and trip-planning behaviour at each stage of the path to purchase, as well as insights on how previous visitors share their Canadian experiences with other consumers.

Guest Column
Can you find a particular type of investment that may be able to achieve multiple goals at the same time? Consider dividend-paying stocks. If you need the income to supplement your cash flow, you can cash the dividend checks. And since some companies tend to increase their dividends, your investment in these stocks can serve as a source of potential for rising income, helping keep you ahead of inflation. Furthermore, if you don’t actually need the dividends to support your income stream, you can reinvest them to increase your ownership stake, which is a useful method for building your overall wealth. Finally, many dividend-paying stocks also offer significant growth potential. Keep in mind, though, that there are no guarantees, because companies can lower or discontinue their dividends at any time. And, as you know, stocks are subject to market risk, including the potential loss of principal invested. Don’t take a time-out from investing – The financial markets regularly move up and down. During the down times, it’s important not to get so discouraged that you decide to take a time-out from investing until things get better. No one can really predict when a downturn will end, but you don’t want to be on the investment sidelines when the market turns around because the biggest gains can occur in the early stages of a rally. And in any case, if you’re not constantly investing, or at least exploring new investment opportunities, your portfolio could begin to stagnate, or even become unbalanced, in which case it may no longer fit your objectives or your risk tolerance. By following the above suggestions, you can help keep your investments working for you this summer, and year-round for that matter. The road toward achieving your financial goals is a long one, so try to keep moving. Ben Moore is a financial advisor with Edward Jones. This article is provided for information purposes only.

Explore Vancouver for free john harris Special To The Morning Star
VANCOUVER - I like free stuff: fresh air, mountain views, river walks and bike rides. Everybody loves freebies, too so here are 10 things to do this summer with your loved ones or on your own that won’t cost you a cent. 1. Visit Granville Island: There are really too many tempting bakeries on Granville Island for this to be fair, but there is genuinely free stuff, too - especially in the summer. Musicians play in the plazas, ferries scurry up and down False Creek and the people watching is second to none. Drop in to the market and watch the fudge makers use their big marble slab to coax you to reach for your change purse. Or just enjoy a small free sample. 2. The Marine Building: At the corner of Burrard and Dunsmuir is one of Vancouver’s most iconic buildings. You’re free to wander and explore the art deco detail with fascinating and beautiful images of sea life: crabs, turtles, seaweed and seahorses. Take the elevator up to the second floor and you’ll get an even closer look at the amazing art deco detail.
tourism vancouver photo
Vancouver’s Granville Island provides a great opportunity for visitors to check out a variety of food and entertainment. 3. Stanley Park: Well, we have to include the jewel of the city in our list of free activities! Stanley Park remains unique in the world as a patch of rainforest in the middle of a busy port city. Whatever the weather a walk around the seawall is a great choice. Stunning views, great people watching, sea life ranging from starfish to sea birds to whales. Bring snacks or a picnic and enjoy the viewpoints. 4. Public Art: Vancouver has dozens of interesting public art pieces, not counting its many totem poles. Visit the giant sparrows that perch in the plaza of the Olympic Village on False Creek. They were part of the surge of art
installations during the 2010 Olympics. The City of Vancouver website has a registry of the dozens of other examples that can be looked at and even climbed upon. See http://vancouver.ca/ parks-recreation-culture/public-art.aspx 5. Queen Elizabeth Park: More public art pieces and some very jolly water parks and fountains are in QE Park. The free fun includes the easy trails that run through the forests and some of the most beautiful public gardens in the city. Originally a quarry, the
park with its wonderful views, is the highest point in the city. 6. Vancouver Art Gallery: OK, I know that two adults with two kids is $52 so to get in isn’t free. But if you go between 5 and 9 p.m. on a Tuesday, you get in for a donation. Bring along the pennies you saved and enjoy. 7. Go To A Movie: Free movies? Well, yes, if you go when they’re first being made. A recent check of the film list at the B.C. Film Commission website showed 13 movies and TV series shooting in the city. Each list-
ing includes an e-mail address and phone number for the production as well as the main stars. 8. Macmillan Southam Observatory: Speaking of stars, it’s amazing but true that you and the kids have access to one of the best space telescopes in Canada and it’s by donation.. Every Friday and Saturday after 8:30 p.m., you can join other fans of the cosmos. 9. Bus Ride: Want to take in one of our ideas and can’t fit everyone in the car? Ride the bus for free. TransLink lets monthly pass holders take along a small group on any bus for free on Sundays. The limit is two adults and four children 13 and under but there’s no limit to where you can go or what time you ride. Tally-ho. 10. Capilano Salmon Hatchery: If you want to use that Sunday bus pass idea, here’s a great free location for the whole family. You’ll join the half a million people who visit every year to tap into the mystery of the salmon migrations. John Harris is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

From the B.C. Dragoons to the Vernon Girls Trumpet Band to her current work with the Army, Navy and Airforce, Bev Fester has spent a lifetime giving back. And now, Fester has been recognized for her hard work with a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal. “I was honoured and proud to receive the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal from the governor general at an Army, Navy and Air Force dominion convention last August in Winnipeg. I wear it with great pride,” said Fester, who is past-president of the ANAF unit #5 in Vernon. When she moved with her family to Vernon from Alberta at the age of 12, she joined the B.C. Dragoons 903 Cadette Band (later known as the well-known and much-loved Vernon Girls Trumpet Band). Fester was lead trumpeter and then band leader for five years before her post as sergeantmajor. “After retiring from the band, I travelled many places across Canada as a volunteer chaperone, helping with the band.”
After graduating from high school, Fester worked at the Royal Bank before getting married and raising four daughters. She then spent 30 years at Okanagan Telephone, then B.C. Telephone (now Telus), before her retirement. Fester has 15 grandchildren and two great-grandsons. In 1989, Fester became involved with the ladies auxiliary of the ANAF and became president of the LA in 1983 and 1984 and again in 1993 and 1994. She is now a life member of the ladies auxiliary and is still an active member. She has also served on the unit executive and was a director and then president in 2003 and 2004, and past-president in 2005 and 2006. She took over as president again from 2007 to 2010. “I have spent and enjoyed many years volunteering in the community such as walks with the Telus employees raising money, and enjoyed many years of curling all over B.C. in bonspiels, and volunteering at the Ford World Women’s Curling Championships,” she said. “I have also enjoyed attending to the needs of our veterans, working as fund raising

Club reaching out to youth kevin parnell Black Press
When S ean Richardson walked into his first meeting of the Oceola Fish and Game Club a couple of years ago, there was something that jumped out at him. In his early 40s and a father of two kids under 14, Richardson noted there were few, if any, members around his age or younger. The Lake Country club’s membership — very active and involved in conservation — was almost lacking an entire generation of people: Those folks raising young families. The spin-off effect, Richardson worried, was that kids weren’t being exposed to outdoor pursuits like fishing and hunting. “As a new member two years ago, the majority of the people that volunteered their time were senior to me and they had been doing volunteer work their whole lives,” said Richardson, now the Oceola club’s youth director. “But we almost missed a whole generation. There wasn’t a lot of people in the room my age.” Whether it was lack of time or the ability to commit, the Oceola club, like many volunteer organizations, was being run by the same folks year in and year out. Now the club is looking to try to get that lost generation back as well as gain the interest of a new generation with an inaugural Community Youth Day Aug. 18 where the club hopes kids and parents can learn about the outdoors together. “We know kids are really interested in what’s going on around them,” said Richardson. “When we get the kids interested we get the parents interested. We’re trying to get that generation back and make sure our fish and wildlife are taken care of for generations to come.” The Oceola club’s youth day will include many aspects of the outdoors, providing infor-
mation on such things as the all-important kokanee lifecycle and an introduction to various other species that live in the Okanagan, from bugs and birds, to fish and wildlife and everything in between. “The concept is to introduce kids to a lot of the things that we are involved with,” said Richardson. “I think it’s really important that we try to get kids involved and get them to understand what goes on and the fact that fish and wildlife just doesn’t happen. There is an incredible amount of volunteer time that goes into making sure we have healthy animal populations and a healthy environment.” Richardson noted the Oceola club continues to work on a variety of projects and has had a huge hand in helping out things such as the Wood Lake kokanee population. Each year the Oceola club spends thousands of volunteer hours supporting the kokanee’s efforts to spawn in only one of its projects. Richardson says fishers and hunters are the main driving force behind helping sustain healthy populations of fish and wildlife rather than harming them. One area that Richardson is hoping will attract young people is the club’s introduction of an archery program. The Oceola club has purchased archery equipment and will be offering programs under the umbrella of the National Archery in Schools Program while using teachers from Hardcore Archery. Richardson said archery is becoming very popular amongst kids and it’s a good way to get involved in a fun, outdoor activity. “It’s extremely popular, very well run and organized and a very safe environment,” he said. “We have the equipment and kids will be able to do archery at our club but also if a local school wants to start an archery program they can use our
program and equipment. We’re trying to be leaders in introducing kids to archery.” The first ever community youth day being hosted by the Oceola Fish and Game Club will take place Aug. 18 at the Oceola Habitat Preserve on Bottom Wood Lake Road. For more information or to RSVP, contact Sean Richardson at seanrichardsongolf@ gail.com.

Canadian “Superfood” Gaining International Attention Creator of UMAC-Core™ UMAC-CORE is a unique product created out of an urgent need. In 2004 Tom Harper was diagnosed with a life threatening illness caused by asbestos exposure and given only months to live. He had been raising shellfish at his Research Sea Farm on Vancouver Island, simultaneously perfecting the only method worldwide of growing wild phytoplankton for use in the Aquaculture industry. Based on the wild plankton’s powerful nutritional profile, upon his diagnosis he decided to consume the blend of micronutrients as an energy source he so desperately needed at the time. Every day he ingested the minute ocean plants and every day he felt stronger and experienced less pain. Finally a surgeon performed exploratory surgery. To the doctor’s surprise he was inexplicably able to deliver Mr. Harper a clean bill of health.
Still Defying The Odds
support mood fluctuations, quality of sleep, and overall emotional well-being.
People are even giving it to their pets with remarkable results. In fact, Kim Iles says it’s the results she gets with animals that have convinced her of the product’s efficacy. “It’s not a placebo effect when you give it to your pets. We’ve nursed sick animals back to health with UMAC-CORE. That’s how I judge if a product really works - if you can see results with animals - and we do.”
UMAC-CORE quickly gained far more attention than Harper could have imagined. “People were experiencing really positive shifts in their health,” Harper says. “Our success was consumer driven and we weren’t quite prepared for the demand. There were times when staff would offer to spend the night at the office so that we could get the Mr. Harper’s Sea Farm which grows the wild product out, and they often did!” phytoplankton offered in UMAC-CORE is also making a positive impact on the environment. “I Today UMAC-CORE is available in over 800 consider it one on the greenest companies in the health food stores across Canada, in stores world. Not only are we able to give back to human all across the United States and overseas in beings, we are also giving back to the planet.” Australia, New Zealand and Spain. Following Unique Sea Farms’ only by-product is pure the interest and countless testimonials from the oxygen! Marine Phytoplankton consumes carbon public, UMAC-CORE has been written about in dioxide and releases oxygen back into the dozens of newspapers across North America atmosphere as it blooms in the one million litre and the excitement continues to grow. Six years later, Tom Harper is healthy and, in outdoor open tanks. his words, “feeling totally different. I’m pain free Kim Iles of Choices 4 Wellness - a retailer in and I’m leading a good, healthy, normal life.” Not Also, once the majority of plankton is harvested, Chatham, Ontario says, “I recommend UMAClong after the product was officially launched in the remaining plankton nutrients are returned CORE to everybody - it’s one of the top two Canada and the U.S.A., the University of Utah back to the ocean - 3 to 5 times more than what products in our whole store and that’s because completed a randomized full double-blind placebo people see results!

Armstrong RCMP reunite Morning Star Staff
Terkelson, Dodds, Hansen, Kitchen, Zaharia, Klassen, Waugh, Takashima, Muir. The list goes on and on. In the 1950s, the B.C. Provincial Police was absorbed into the RCMP and since then, more than 250 RCMP members have served the communities of Armstrong and Spallumcheen. Many of these policemen and staff not only worked in the community, but lived in the community as well. They were married in Armstrong or Spallumcheen, had children in the Armstrong hospital, coached hockey and enjoyed curling at the Armstrong Curling Club – one was even named Citizen of the Year. In honour of the City of Armstrong’s centennial, an Armstrong RCMP Reunion has been organized and will take place Saturday, July 27 at the Armstrong Curling Club. All members, staff and families who called Armstrong home and those whose work included Armstrong and Spallumcheen are welcome to join in a weekend of reminiscing and fun. The Armstrong RCMP Reunion committee would like to encourage all members, staff and support services – retired and
still serving – to attend the reunion. Tickets are $25 and available from Sgt. Robb Daly at the Armstrong
RCMP Detachment or the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce. For information and
a registration package e-mail armstrongrcmpreunion@gmail. com or call 250-5468808.

Dip into these fresh summer choices CATHI LITZENBERGER
A
For The Morning Star
ppetizers and/or dips are great for summer lunches and entertaining. For the most part, they can be prepared ahead of time, freeing you to spend time with your family and guests. Whether you’re hanging around the lake, pool, or backyard, dips and appetizers can fill the void for any meal. Today I have three appetizer choices and one dessert-style dip for you to try. The first is a Moroccan carrot dip which can also be used thinned out as a salad dressing. It’s vegan as is the red lentil recipe. If you like taco seasonings, the six-layer dip will suit your favour and is always a hit with the teens. The last recipe is for all chocolate lovers out there (and children) and is the finishing touch for a meal of appies, hors d’oeuvres, and delicious dips. Moroccan carrot Dip (vegan, gluten-free, oil-free) 1 cup raw carrot, cut in discs or small chunks (roughly 4 – 4 1/2 oz.) 1/3 cup raw cashews 2 – 2 ½ tsp. apple cider vinegar or coconut vinegar 1 small clove garlic (or ½ medium clove) ½ – 1 tsp. fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped 1/8 tsp. cinnamon (little scant) ½ tsp. ground cumin ½ tsp. ground coriander ¼ tsp. ground fennel ¼ tsp. (rounded) sea salt (plus more to taste if needed) Freshly ground black pepper (use conservatively) ½ cup water (or more to thin as needed, see note) 1 tbsp. olive oil (completely optional, omit for oil-free) Using a standing blender (high-powered works best to smooth), purée all the ingredients (starting with 2 teaspoons of the vinegar) until very smooth. Taste and add extra vinegar if you wish, and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. For a thinner dip, add more water (plus another 2 to 3 tablespoons more, if desired, to thin out a little more for use as a salad dressing). Makes about 1-1/4 cups. Serving Suggestions: Surprise your guests with this uniquely flavored and colored dip—try serving as a centerpiece dip for crudités or with raw dipping breads. Also try tossing it into a salad, for a more

Spread some six-layer dip (bottom left, clockwise), red lentil and sweet potato paté, Moroccan carrot dip, and Knorr spinach dip over homemade pita chips, crackers, fresh breads, or use fresh vegetables as crudités. substantial lunch salad. SiX-Layer Dip 1 fully ripe avocado, cut in half, divided 1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened 1 cup sour cream 2 tbsp. taco seasoning mix 3 tbsp. thick and chunky salsa 1 small tomato, chopped 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese 2 green onions, sliced Mash half the avocado with cream cheese until well blended; spread onto bottom of pie plate. Mix sour cream and seasoning mix; spread over cream cheese mixture. Chop remaining avocado; mix with salsa. Spread over sour cream layer; cover with remaining ingredients. Refrigerate several hours or until chilled. reD LentiL & Sweet potato paté (vegan) 1 tbsp. olive oil, plus extra for drizzling 1/2 onion, finely chopped 1 tsp. smoked paprika, plus a little extra 1 small sweet potato, peeled and diced
(yam is fine too) 5 ounces red lentils 3 fresh thyme sprigs, leaves chopped, plus a little extra to decorate (optional) 2 cups low sodium vegetable broth 1 tsp. red wine vinegar Pita bread and vegetable sticks, to serve Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion and cook slowly until soft and golden. Tip in the paprika and cook for a further 2 minutes, then add the sweet potato, lentils, thyme and stock. Bring to a simmer, then cook for 20 minutes or until the potato and lentils are tender. Add the vinegar and some seasoning, and roughly mash the mixture until you get a texture you like. Chill for one hour, then drizzle with olive oil, dust with the extra paprika and sprinkle with thyme sprigs, if you like. Serve with pita bread and vegetable sticks. Brownie Batter Dip 8 oz. cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup butter, softened 2- 1/2 cups powdered sugar
5 tbsp. all purpose flour 5 tbsp. cocoa powder 3 tbsp. brown sugar 2-3 tbsp. milk 1 tsp. vanilla 1 tsp sea salt 1 cup mini chocolate chips In a stand mixer, beat together the cream cheese and the butter until smooth. Add the brown sugar, cocoa powder, flour, vanilla, salt, and one tablespoon of milk. Mix until mostly smooth. (May stay a little lumpy until all the other ingredients are added.) Add the powdered sugar and another tablespoon of milk. Beat until smooth. Add another tablespoon of milk if the dip is too thick for your liking, but I usually stop at two tablespoons. Mix in the chocolate chips. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until serving. Serves 8-12 .Our favourite dippers are twisted pretzels, or serve with graham crackers, apples, and/or strawberries.

feature event: caravan farm theatre opens its summer production
F
rom Caravan Farm Theatre’s most beloved playwright, Peter Anderson, comes Head Over Heels, a brand new comedy in celebration of love. When a plane crashes in the middle of nowhere, passenger Oola loses not only her twin brother in the wreckage, but finds she has arrived in a mysterious, unknown land, where nothing is as it should be, things are not what they could be, and no one is who they say they are. Mistaken identity, backward antics, and the madness of love send Oola into a furious frenzy of absolute delirium. With original music written by the farm’s artistic director Courtenay Dobbie and Ajineen Sagal, the play previews at Caravan Farm Theatre on Salmon River Road, west of Armstrong, July 23 and 24, with its regular run July 25 to Aug. 25 at 7:30 p.m. (No shows on Mondays.)

Enderby has art, culture and more A Taste of Splatsin Culture is part of this year’s Enderby Arts Festival, with proceeds to help preserve the Splatsin language
Morning Star Staff
Rediscover Enderby when the familyfriendly Enderby Arts Festival opens for a day of markets, culture, music, magic, and art, Saturday, July 27. The festival, hosted by the Enderby and District Arts Council, has grown to include a number of activities for all ages, and this year has an even more special event with A Taste of Splatsin Culture at Belvidere Park. Most of the action takes place on Cliff Avenue, where the Enderby Artisans Market, food court and non-stop music on the entertainment stage will take place. “This market has built up over the past eight years into something not to be missed,” said festival organizer Neil Fidler, with the Enderby and District Arts Council. “Up to 50 artisans and artists will be offering a variety of handcrafted items constructed from wood, glass, stone, fabric, paper and imagination. There is enough here to do all your Christmas shopping in July.” Those who arrive early to the market can enjoy the Lions’ famous pancake breakfast from 8 to 11 a.m. The non-stop music kicks off with Transplant performing at 9:15 a.m. and the energy continues with an interactive drum circle, Shakewood Annie at 1:15 p.m., and more performances by local entertainers. The annual Snapshots and Shutterbugs photo contest entries will be on display in Enderby’s new Courtyard Gallery on Belvedere Street. Photo entries will be available for all to see from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the Saturday. “The Courtyard Gallery has been open for almost three months with never a dull moment. We continue to add new artists and change the exhibitions on a regular basis,” said gallery artist and chairperson Tatianna O’Donnell. In addition, local artists will be setting up their easels and painting en plein air. The works will then be donated and exhibited at the gallery for a silent auction. The auction will run from July 30 to Aug. 3. “Artists love festivals, and so we have quite

Splatsin grandmother Anne Cook has donated two birchbark baskets she made at the Tsm7aksaltn (Splatsin Teaching Centre) to sell at the A Taste of Splatsin Culture during the Enderby Arts Festival, July 27. Enderby’s new Courtyard Gallery (below) is showing the annual Snapshots and Shutterbugs photo contest entries and is also featuring on-site painting, with the works created to go on silent auction at the gallery. a few of our members who will be setting up their easels around town to paint on the spot,” said O’Donnell. The festival fun continues as kids can have their faces painted and enjoy the antics of the Shriner clowns. The Community Resource Centre will also be offering activities for children. Watch for posters about town. More information is available at the Enderby and District Arts Council information tent that will be set up on Cliff Avenue, where visitors can pick up an event schedule for the non-stop music on the entertainment stage. Presented by the Splatsin Tsm7aksaltn Teaching Centre Society, A Taste of Splatsin Culture is a fundraiser to regenerate the disappearing language of the Splatsin Nation. Tsm7aksaltn translates as teaching centre, where a core group, which includes the most elderly Splatsin grandmas (kikia7a), come together to document, preserve and save the Splatsin language and “wrap the language around the babies.” “Your support has everything to do with being part of the solution,” said Rosalind Williams, advocate for the preservation and regeneration of the Splatsin language. Proceeds from the fundraiser will go towards the expense of documentation and

delivery of the language and is a unique opportunity to experience local Splatsin culture through art, history, songs, language, stories, dance, and games. There will be dancers, singers, drummers, a fashion show, speakers, musicians, language demos, and stories. Visitors to Belvidere Park can also stop and peruse books, videos and historical displays

generated at the Splatsin Tsm7aksaltn. “Come out and eat Splatsin food, buy some art in the auction, listen to entertainers and cultural performers; most of all come out and help save our Splatsin language,” said Jody Leon who has been coordinating art donations for the silent auction and lining up First Nation artists displaying and selling their artwork or performing in the park. Tania Willard, Secwepemc artist and current Aboriginal curator-in-residence at the Kamloops Art Gallery, and co-creator of Beat Nation (now showing at the KAG), will speak about her artistic journey at 11:30 a.m. Okanagan artist David Wilson will also speak in the afternoon about how his artwork (now showing at Headbones Gallery in Vernon) incorporates Okanagan pictographs and stories of origin. Both Willard and Wilson have each donated a piece of their artwork to the silent art auction that runs until 3 p.m. The auction features fine art pieces from many different First Nations communities, including the Splatsin and Greater Shuswap Nation, and from supportive non-native artists. There is also a goods and service aspect to the silent auction that will be run more like a toonie auction. Willard also joins Runaway Moon Theatre to show their Calendario community art project. It involves a depiction of certain creatures of great importance to the Splatsin people and their names in the Splatsin language. Printed on rectangular pieces of brightly coloured fabric, the sets of prints will be strung in the manner of Tibetan prayer flags and available for purchase. Visitors can also choose a traditional Splatsin tattoo at the face painting booth, have their photo taken beside the Shuswap River by photographer Tskwluwi7kn Leon, bid on traditional Shuswap birch-bark baskets, beading, leather work, pine needle baskets and other art created and donated by the grandmothers and community members. Wild traditional foods have been collected and will be for sale to sample and visitors can also cool down with a wild berry slush, and top it off with some bannock. Wild Sunflower massage oil and pine needle honey will also be available for purchase. All proceeds go to the language and culture program at the Tsm7aksaltn.

The Mackie Lake House is hosting Calgary poets Jason Christie (left) and Aaron Giovannone, along with Vernon musician Luke Mortenson (below), for a night of poetry and more, Tuesday, July 23.
Poets grace the Mackie House Morning Star Staff
The Mackie Lake House is about to play host to a couple of wordy visitors from Calgary. Organized by Okanagan College English professor Kevin McPherson, poets Jason Christie and Aaron Giovannone are stopping by the historic Coldstream home for an impromptu residency writing stay. “I liaised between them and the indelible Christine (Kashuba) at the Mackie Lake House, and we got it happening, but it’s being funded by an impromptu poetry reading,” said McPherson. McPherson describes both Christie and Giovannone as both smart and funny. “(Christie’s) words are poetry. His third book, Unknown Actor, was just released this spring from Insomniac Press. His second book, I-robot, is currently being adapted to stage in Calgary. He is a hoot,” said McPherson. A poet and Italian poetry trans-
lator, Giovannone’s first book, The Loneliness Machine, is forthcoming this fall, also from Insomniac Press. “While pursuing his PhD at the University of Calgary, Aaron listens to hip hop. And he don’t stop,” said McPherson. Hosted by McPherson and fellow English prof/scribe Jake Kennedy, the intimate night of literary shenanigans (only 35 tickets are being printed) takes place at the Mackie Lake House on Kidston Road, Tuesday at 7 p.m. Joining the poets will be special guests, student poets Trystan Carter and Lyndsay Thornton as well as musician Luke Mortenson of Paperboy fame. Tickets are $15 and proceeds go to support the poets’ stay at the house, said McPherson. Those who wish to reserve a space can e-mail kmcpherson@okanagan. bc.ca or purchase tickets at the Bean Scene.

hen Kaiju attack, We must build giant robots, To bust monster chops. We say, “It’s everything a summer movie should be.” HOWE: If you want a movie that’s BIG, loud and action-packed, they won’t come much bigger than Pacific Rim. It’s a cross breed of Transformers meets Cloverfield meets Enter the Dragon. TAYLOR: The Kaiju, giant monsters from another dimension rendered at the bottom of the Pacific ocean, are probably the most impressive movie creatures since the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park. I say this because the Transformers were machines and other recent monster movies, like Cloverfield or Monsters (inexpensive films), only gave us fleeting glimpses of the creatures. The Kaiju in Pacific Rim are the stars. They’re large, loud and in your face. HOWE: Pacific Rim did a couple of things right. The fight scenes are pretty amazing, nothing super close-up or so blurred that you can’t see what is going on, like they did in Transformers. The story doesn’t take half an hour for the build up, it just throws you right in at

the deep end. That’s a good thing, or it would add at least another half hour to an already long movie, a little over two hours, 10 minutes. TAYLOR: It was a bit long, but I didn’t mind the length, it felt necessary. I found the lead a bit wooden (Charlie Hunnam, Sons of Anarchy). Everything seemed a little forced, perhaps rushed. The relationships of the characters in Pacific Rim are complex and deep; even the pilots of the giant rock ‘em, sock ‘em robots share each others memories while “in the drift.” I think a three-hour super epic would have been required to cover the territory suggested by their attempts, which may have stepped outside their abilities. This is, mind you, while keeping the plot predictability and machismo cliche aside. HOWE: I found this way too loud and I’m not talking about the explosions, it’s the dialogue. Everyone shouts in this. Why, what is the point? The acting is already terrible, do they

The two that really annoyed me were the “scientist” characters of Dr. Newton Geiszler (Charlie Day), he was like Emmett Brown who had too much sugar, and Gottlieb (Burn Gorman) was like a cheap Lee Evans wannabe. Terrible casting. TAYLOR: Well, I
agree that there was a great deal of shouting and that Day is fantastically annoying, but in the end, let’s face what we have here: an FX blockbuster full of TV actors. If you take it for what it is, a monster movie where the monsters are the stars, it’s actually pretty awesome, especially when you consider its competition. To put

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist susan carrie
it’s usually women who worry that their biological clock is ticking when they desire to have a family. However, men should also be concerned about their own clock. The age of the new father can have an affect on the health of their children. it is important that if you are a new father-to-be that you be fit physically and mentally to give your children the best chance of a healthy life. Genetics and cancer are closely linked. u.s. scientists have discovered mutations in several genes that might be involved with esophageal cancer. The hope is that this knowledge will help develop treatments to prevent the disease from occurring. The cure for cancer could lie in our genes. at this time of year, our heels often become quite rough from going barefoot. Foot files are available to smooth the skin but have to be used with care. Pumice stones are much safer to use. Diabetics should be particularly cautious in their foot care. if you are stung by a bee, the stinger may still be in your skin. Take a credit card (not tweezers!) or a needle and scrape the stinger carefully off the skin. Pulling it out with tweezers might release more venom causing more swelling and pain. Our pharmacy staff’s goal is to get to know you and fulfill your prescription needs in a fast, personal and caring manner. Give our brand of pharmacy a try!

Breezy beach reads
A
sandy beach is the place to be on a sweltering Okanagan summer day. You can enjoy a picnic, wade in for a dip to cool off, bask in the sun, play on the water, or find a shady spot, lean back and read some of these light, breezy novels: – Winner of multiple Hugo and Nebula awards, To Say Nothing of the Dog, Or How We Found the Peter Critchley Bishop’s Bird Stump At Last (1998) by Connie Willis is an ideal book for the beach. It is a comedic story of mystery, romance and time travel. Ned Henry, time-lagged and exhausted, desperately needs rest after shuttling between the 21st century and the 1940s to search for a Victorian atrocity called the bishop’s bird stump. It is part of a project to restore the famed Coventry Cathedral, razed to the ground by a Nazi air raid over 100 years earlier. Ned must fix a chronological complication –caused by fellow time traveller Verity Kindle– by travelling back to Oxford in 1889. He arrives in the Victorian era dressed in boating clothes, a mountain of luggage, a regal cat in a box and absolutely no idea of what he is supposed to do next. After drifting down a river, in a parody of Three Men in a Boat, he finally finds Verity, his contact for this mission, and together the two must solve the problem or the Nazis will win the Second World War. – Silver Girl (2011), a novel by Elin Hilderbrand, is beach reading at its best: a moving story of loss, friendship, love and forgiveness. When the Feds nab Meredith Delinn’s husband Freddy for orchestrating the largest Ponzi scheme in history, she finds herself under investigation. She flees New York for Nantucket and the comfort of her closest friend, Connie, now profoundly lonely after the death of her husband and the estrangement of her daughter. Much of the novel is told in flashback as Connie and Meredith work through their crisis. But the talent of the author keeps these memories resonant and alive as the present day. – Azincourt (2008) is a remarkable and action-packed depiction of the legendary battle of Agincourt in 1415 by Bernard Cornwell, acclaimed author and master historical novelist. The battle, fought on St. Crispin’s Day and immortalized in Shakespeare’s Henry V, is the first major battle ever won by the use of the longbow, a weapon developed by the English. The longbow enabled the English to win a brilliant and unexpected victory at Agincourt and dominate the European battlefield for the rest of the century. It is a breathtaking, finely researched tale told from the various viewpoints of nobles, peasants, archers and horsemen. Cornwell breathes life into the
Book Talk
relentless fighting, the anguish of an army crippled by disease and the incomparable bravery of the English soldiers. No other historical novelist has so mastered the details of warfare in centuries past. – The first novel in the Walt Longmire series by Craig Johnson, The Cold Dish (2004) is a breezy and stylish mystery. The series, recently popularized by an award-winning A&E TV series, begins with the discovery of the corpse of Cody Pritchard, a muchdisliked young man. The title, of course, refers to revenge, and Longmire, the veteran sheriff of Absaroka County in the Bighorn Mountain Country in Wyoming, would rather drink beer than investigate. But he is far from the usual loner cop. He dispatches Deputy Victoria Moretti, a brittle and profane cop transplanted from Philadelphia, to the scene. They soon discover someone killed the young victim with a .45-70 buffalo rifle, an unusual weapon that unfortunately is fairly common in rural Absaroka County. Soon another corpse turns up and Longmire, with the help of Moretti and his best friend, Henry Standing Bear, doggedly solves the crime. – The number of books that may be suitable for nonfiction aficionados to read on a beach is not extensive compared to works of fiction material, but Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World (1997) is certainly an exception. The work, by Canadian author Mark Kurlansky, is an engaging, vivid volume that chronicles the immense impact and influence the cod fishing industry has had on the human race. Kurlansky masterfully traces the relationship of the cod industry to such historical eras and events as medieval Christianity, international conflicts between England and Germany, slavery, the molasses trade and even the dismantling of the British Empire. It is not a lengthy read and the accurate scientific information is conveyed in a highly entertaining style. – The first novel in a captivating Royal Naval series by Dewey Lambdin that begs comparison to C.S. Forester’s Horatio Hornblower series, The King’s Coat (1989) is a terrific yarn. In this first novel, Alan Lewrie, the bastard son of Sir Hugo Willoughby, is a practising rake in London. But the dissolute life he leads abruptly ends when he is caught in flagrante with his sluttish half-sister –an underhanded ploy by Sir Hugo to rob the boy of his inheritance– and Alan finds himself banished to the Navy as a midshipman on the 64-gun Adriadne. Alan also sails on an Americanbuilt schooner and the frigate Desperate and the storms, battles and problems he encounters transform him from an indulgent fop into a competent officer who gradually begins to take pride in his hard service. — Peter Critchley is the reference librarian at the Vernon branch of the Okanagan Regional Library. All the previewed books in this column are available at the library.

Activity Horoscope By Bernice Bede OsOl
Your talent and imagination are likely to take you right to the top in your field of endeavor in the coming months. Strive to use these gifts with every ounce of commitment that you have. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Have fun and enjoy yourself, but not at the expense of others. If you singe anyone’s fingers in your quest for happiness, your pleasure will quickly turn sour.
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. 111212 4

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Even though major accomplishments are possible, you might still fall short of your mark. Selfdoubts could overwhelm you if you’re fool enough to believe them. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be fair in your dealings with others, but don’t go overboard by making selfpenalizing concessions. There’s nothing wrong with expecting good things to happen for you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) This should be a rewarding day as long as you don’t do anything at the last minute to take the edge off your victory. It’s not smart to alter something that’s working so well. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Just because conditions in general tend to favor you today, that doesn’t mean you should lower your guard. If you do, your fragile success might collapse. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) There’s no need for you to embellish your achievements. Should you do something worthy of praise, the events will speak loudly for themselves and the accolades will be justified. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Don’t be stingy in involvements with your friends. Yet, by the same token, don’t think that you have to break the bank in order to win acceptance. Let moderation be your watchword. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) It’s OK to be proud of your achievements when speaking to your friends, but don’t
call a project finished when you still have abundant loose ends that must be tied down. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) In order to appease family and friends today, you might feel obligated to promise them much more than you can deliver. It’s best to be honest with both them and yourself. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Even if asked, it might not be too wise to advise a friend on how s/he should handle a financial matter. Although you’ll mean well, your suggestion could make matters worse. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Don’t make the mistake of trying to force your opinions on someone who doesn’t want to hear them. Something that you feel strongly about might nonetheless be totally wrong for your listener.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder WHICH SUIT DO YOU BID SECOND? J.P. Morgan of banking fame said, “A man always has two reasons for doing anything -- a good reason and the real reason.” A bridge player chooses a bid for two reasons -to describe his hand as accurately as possible and to reach the right final contract. Of course, they are symbiotic, one helping the other. However, sometimes it isn’t obvious what bid to make. Look at the South hand. You open one spade, and partner responds two clubs. What would you rebid? A columnist explained that with 6-4 shape, opener rebids in his six-card suit with a minimum, but shows the side suit when he has
extras. That is true only when the four-card suit is a minor. When it is a major, opener always shows it. To rebid two spades here in principle denies four hearts. Now look at the West hand. What would you lead against seven hearts? The writer gave a bizarre auction before discussing the play in seven hearts after West leads a low club. South wins with his queen, then should ruff a spade, cash the heart king, play a heart to his ace, ruff another spade, ruff a club to establish the suit, draw East’s last trump, and claim, the diamond ace being the entry to the club winners. He takes one spade, three hearts, one diamond, five clubs and the three ruffs. But why would West lead
a club? Perhaps he hoped that East was void in the suit. But if he had been, he probably would have made a Lightner Slam Double, asking for a lead in the first suit bid by dummy. A diamond lead defeats seven hearts. In general, do not lead suits bid by the opponents.

Fees to keep old meters tom fletcher Morning Star Staff
People who insist on refusing new wireless electrical meters can keep their old mechanical meter as long as it lasts, if they pay a monthly fee, Energy Minister Bill Bennett announced Thursday. Customers can keep their mechanical meters until they break down, their Me asurement Bill Bennett Canada accuracy seal expires or the customer relocates, the ministry said in a statement. The mechanical meter option is added to an earlier compromise with B.C. Hydro customers who still don’t have a digital smart meter, which transmits power consumption and status via radio signals. Customers can have a digital meter with its transmission function turned off, or keep their old meter, as long as they pay the cost of having the meter read manually. Bennett said the cost of meter
reading will be about $20 a month. Customers who accept a deactivated smart meter will also pay a fee of about $100 to have it adjusted. The fee to keep a mechanical meter will be higher, because it will require a separate system to manually record and bill for power consumption, Bennett said. B.C. Hydro reports that 60,000 smart meter installations have been delayed due to customer request, while 1.8 million or 96 per cent of customers now have a functioning smart meter. Some people persist in the belief that the radio signals from smart meters are a health hazard, despite the fact that the periodic meter signals represent a tiny fraction of the radio frequency exposure from a working mobile phone. Bennett said mechanical or “analog” meters are obsolete, and eventually every customer will have a smart meter, whether it is set to transmit or not. “Bear in mind, when somebody’s analog meter wears out, stops working or comes to the end of its useful life, there are no analog meters to reinstall,” Bennett said. “You can’t buy them anywhere.”
