Arrest made in Irving murder
UP, UP AND AWAY
BY KATHY MICHAELS Black Press
The self-proclaimed ex-Independent Soldier charged with murdering Brittney Lee Irving sat quietly with his hands in his lap at a brief court appearance Tuesday morning. Via videolink out of Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre, Joelon David Atish Verma, 29, told a judge he understood the nature of the first degree murder and robbery charges he’s facing, and securing a lawyer is in the works. And with that short exchange started the process that could answer questions plaguing Irving’s friends and family since the North Okanagan native’s disappearance nearly three months earlier. “Verma is well known to police, however, he does not have a criminal record,” said Kelowna RCMP spokesman Const. Steve Holmes, of the so-called ex-gangster who was picked up by Mounties at the Rutland YMCA/YWCA last Friday. While police are reticent to releasing many details, they’ve said Irving, 24, left the local hotel where she was staying in order April 6, to meet with Verma and sell him a “large quantity” of marijuana.
It’s the last day she was seen by family and she was reported missing to police April 7. That’s also the day Irving’s SUV was found abandoned on Philpott Road, making way for a flurry of speculation about her drug connections and fate. Nearly two months later, on May 25, rumours were laid to rest when Irving’s body was found. M o u n t i e s Brittney Iriving won’t disclose the exact location — although they say it wasn’t the same area her car was found — and subsequent autopsy results indicated her death was a homicide. They still won’t comment on the cause. Also staying tight lipped are those who were closest to Irving. “They’re doing the best they can with the news they have,” said Holmes, of what he’s heard from the family. “As the process works itself through, perhaps they can find some solace.” Verma’s appears in court again on Friday.
Rafter missing in river ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
TIM FITZGERALD/SILVER STAR MOUNTAIN RESORT
Professional freestyle motocross rider Reagan Sieg of Vernon defies gravity, and common sense, as he performs one of his three shows in the village of Silver Star Mountain Resort, Sunday afternoon.
A day on the water appears to have turned tragic near Enderby Monday. RCMP and Search and Rescue personnel were called to the Shuswap River near the Mabel Lake Resort at around 3:15 p.m. for a report of a missing rafter. “My information is that there were two men in their 20s out for a day floating on the water with small rafts,” said RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “The two were on their second run down the river when they were upset in the current and dumped out of their rafts. “One was able to regain his raft
and get to shore. The second was last seen in the river calling for help.” Police dogs and a helicopter were on scene as well as the Vernon Search and Rescue crew until dark Monday, but they were not able to locate the missing man. Crews returned Tuesday morning to search the river again. Hampering the search for the missing man is the condition of the river. “The river is running at a very high rate right now,” said Molendyk. The missing man was not wearing a life jacket. He is believed to be from Salmon Arm. No name had been released as of Tuesday afternoon.

The Morning Star’s Richard Rolke works on his swing Friday while catcher Brad Yamaoka and umpire Clara Tees keep him on track during a promo shoot for today’s Funtastic Sneak-a-Peek event at the DND grounds. Festivities start at 4:30 p.m. and the celebrity slo-pitch game gets underway at 5:15 p.m. of what has become one of the largest slo-pitch events in North America. There

Ultralight crash claims West Kelowna pilot BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
Enderby RCMP responded to a plane crash in the Deep Creek area Saturday afternoon that resulted in the death of a West Kelowna man. Glenn Ashton, 47, had just taken off from a field near Mallory Road when his ultralight airplane appeared to stall before nose-diving into the ground. “He had gone up to demon-
strate the aircraft to an out-oftown buyer,� said RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “He was a very experienced pilot.� Ashton was a former member of the Kelowna Flying Club and was an engine technician at Kelowna Flightcraft. He was an avid ultralight enthusiast having built several of the planes himself though it is not known whether or not he built this particular plane.

The 26th annual Funtastic slo-pitch tournament fires up today giving families and fans an advance opportunity to get in on the festivities. Sneak-a-peek starts today at 4:30 p.m. and will include an inflatable fun house, face painting, cookie decorating, a bunch of other kids’ crafts and games and celebrity slopitch action beginning at 5:15. There will even be an autograph session following the celebrity game. If you’re hungry, you’ll be able to get something hot off the grill at the barbecue. All proceeds are going to the North Okanagan Youth and Family Services Society (NOYFSS). Society board chair Clara Tees says the event will not only be fun but is vital to NOYFSS operations. “This will provide funding for our programs,� she said. “All of them are free and we need funding to continue them. “We’re excited to be part of this fun family night opportunity.� The evening will unofficially mark the beginning
up on the Sunday for the next year’s event,� he said, speaking to Funtastic’s outstanding reputation. “A lot of teams comment on how big, well organized and safe it is given the number of teams in the same area. “The whole idea is for people to come out and have fun.� Teams will travel from as far away as Whitehorse though many of the squads are local with 30 per cent being from the Okanagan. Calgary, Edmonton, Fort McMurray and Vancouver supply many entries as well. Last year, a team came up from New Mexico. McEwan enjoys how players and their supporters head for the entertainment area after a long, hot day on the diamonds to take in the performers. “I like seeing people come in to the beverage area and see the music acts,� he said. “I love the costumed teams; there’s some really creative guys that take care of the costumes.� A giant boxing ring will be set up near the beverage area and several bands are scheduled including Spirit of the West on Friday night and Nazareth on Saturday night.

Library plans proceed with contract awarded ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The task of building Vernon’s new library has been given to a company familiar with constructing new facilities in the city. Burnaby-based TASK Construction Management has been awarded a contract up to $11 million to build the new library at 2808-30th Avenue. They will also act as the project and construction management team. TASK built the $9.4 million Vernon Performing Arts Centre and the $15 million Wesbild Centre, both on time and under budget according to a company spokesman. “We interviewed seven or eight companies and short-listed to three in a lengthy process that was very thorough, very detailed,” said Ted Bacigalupo, Okanagan Regional Library chairman. “The fact TASK had been involved in two major projects in the City of Vernon, had good rapport with the community and good feedback from all levels of government involved in the previous developments, it seemed like a natural fit.” “They have a reputation for putting projects into bite-size chunks so local people can participate in the construction,” added Shawn Lee, Vernon council’s representative to the ORL. “We’re really excited.” TASK and ORL hope to have architectural design later this year, and if all goes well the targeted official opening
for the new branch will be in 2013. “We’re very excited about returning to Vernon for this important community project,” said John Hiebert, president of TASK. “We look forward to reconnecting with the many contractors and vendors that made the Performing Arts Centre and multiplex (Wesbild Centre) projects so successful.” ORL approached the North Okanagan Regional District board to be the financing vehicle for borrowing up to $11 million for the project through the Municipal Financing Authority. As part of the procedure NORD, rather than go through a costly referendum, consented to an alternate approval process whereby if 10 per cent – 6,355 names – of the voting electorate are against the plan, the borrowing can’t take place. The deadline for receiving voter responses through the petition process will be July 5 at 4 p.m. The petition is available at the NORD office, all municipal offices and at www.rdno.ca. “The process is not finalized, but all indications are it’s not going to be enough of an obstacle,” said Bacigalupo. “There might be minor or individual objection, not necessarily to the process but to the fact we are finally going to achieve construction of a new library for Vernon.” As of Tuesday, there had been approximately 92 signatures collected in the alternate approval process.

City approves UBCO route expansion ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
“I’m hoping they go back to NORD and convince them it is a regional function...” — Bob Spiers Coldstream would add $3,600. The current cost of running the route, which includes one bus and four runs to and from the campus, is $112,000. Vernon Coun. Bob Spiers, while supporting the idea of a second bus, voted against it, citing the fact it’s only Vernon taxpayers on the hook for expansion. “I’m hoping they go back to NORD and convince them it is a regional function and should be financed out there,” said Spiers. The city did unanimously pass a motion to send the matter back to NORD for reconsideration. The total cost of expansion was a concern for NORD Armstrong director Chris Pieper, who said at the last meet-
ing that while he’s glad the UBC bus is full, he sees some buses that are half-full. Nicol said he gets the feeling some NORD directors would be willing to make contributions towards the expansion. Steve Harvard, southern Interior regional manager for B.C. Transit, told council the UBCO route is the authority’s highest priority because of significant demand. “The expansion will double the number of trips from four to eight, and all trips will go through the (Kelowna) airport, which is good news for passengers looking to catch a plane or a ride home from the airport,” said Harvard. The expansion, set to begin in September, will see the first bus leave Vernon at 7 a.m.,

The City of Vernon has approved adding a second transit bus to UBC Okanagan, but still wants the North Okanagan Regional District to fund part of it. City council voted Monday to approve expansion of the UBCO route by adding a second bus and doubling the number of runs. “B.C. Transit has identified this as their number one priority,” said Coun. Patrick Nicol of the proposed route expansion. The cost of adding four runs and a second bus, without the regional district on board, will cost Vernon approximately $100,400, and that could increase by another $16,000 if the District of Lake Country does not contribute toward the expansion. Had the regional district agreed to expansion, they would have contributed $88,400, the City of Vernon would chip in $12,000, Lake Country would likely make a donation of $16,000 and the District of

City of Vernon transportation technician Amanda Watson also explained that two Vernon bus routes – Route 2 Pleasant Valley and Route 4 East Hill – have had their schedules tweaked so that all seven route’s first runs will now connect with the first bus leaving for UBCO.

Big events converge at army camp BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
Canada Day fireworks will be similar to what you’ve seen in past celebrations but this year’s event will be especially festive because it coincides with the start of the Funtastic slo-pitch tournament. “The big excitement this year is its the first day of Funtastic,” said Funtastic vice president Cindy Masters. “I am so looking forward to it.” With the Vernon army camp hosting the two events simultaneously on Thursday, it means you’d better have a ride planned because the parking lot will be closed. But there will be a shuttle running from 8 to 11 p.m. from the Boys and Girls Club near the Vernon Recreation Centre. Spectators can expect another impressive show this time around during the 15-minute fireworks display that starts at 10 p.m. It will be simulcast with music broadcast on KISS FM and the last few minutes will be co-ordinated with the playing of O Canada. Local fire department members will again run the show with seasoned veteran Lawrie Skolrood lighting the fuses.
THURSDAY, JULY 1 11AM TO 4P M
“We have kind of a manual setup,” said Skolrood, who has close to 20 years experience running fireworks displays. “We watch the rate of explosions and try to make sure the sky is full and meets the timing with the music. “If everything goes right, we can keep it pretty close. It should be a good show.” Firefighters from BX-Swan Lake, Okanagan Landing and Coldstream Fire Departments will be there to lend a hand as well. About $10,000 worth of fireworks will be set off with perhaps as many as 300 individual fuses lit. Funtastic has donated $2,000 to the purchase of fireworks and Masters says while those with wrist bands can watch from the Funtastic beer garden, the surrounding area is probably the best viewpoint. “You can watch from any of the diamonds and with the fireworks being set off from near the beer garden, you’re kind of looking straight up from there.” Heritage Canada also gave funds for the fireworks display as did Defeo and Associates, Vernon Moving and Storage and the City of Vernon.
Celebrating? Here’s what to do in your area Vernon kicks off Canada Day at 10 a.m. Thursday at Polson Park with an event including face painting, magicians and a bouncy castle. Lee Dinwoodie, Greg Sczebel, Jodi Peterson and Rachel Warchol will perform. Appearances by Paralympians Sonja Gaudet and Josh Dueck
are slated. Activities continue until 5 p.m. Armstrong has a 9:30 a.m. breakfast planned at Memorial Park. Games, food, swimming and cake cutting will follow. The day culminates in a lobster dinner with Celtic band The Malarkeys performing. Tickets are $25 and must be pre-paid.
Enderby’s Riverside Park plays host to Canada Day with a pancake breakfast from 8 to 11 a.m. Games, prizes and a parade will follow along with a classic car shown and shine. The day wraps with a free swim at Lions Pool in Barnes Park. Lumby celebrates
starting at 11:30 a.m. in Whitevale Community Park with kids’ games and cake cutting. An outdoor movie, Aliens in the Attic will be shown. Falkland is hosting a country market from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. A flag parade will lead into lunch with hot dogs and cake being served.

The wrong approach
L
ast week’s jam-packed gathering in Lumby was supposed to be a chance for residents to access information and provide feedback on the prospect of a prison coming to town. And with close to 400 people in the room, there certainly was no shortage of debate. But what was lacking were any meaningful details residents could use to become better informed. If anything, parts of the two-and-a-half hour session were nothing but an infomercial moderated by an animated consultant wearing a head-set. All that was missing were some ShamWows or vegetables being sliced and diced. Council had insisted Richard Rolke up, down and sideways that it was remaining open to all possibilities about a correctional facility until the public had spoken. But that appeared to go out the window as Mayor Kevin Acton took to the podium. Certainly Acton spoke about his initial reluctance when the concept of a jail was put before him, and the research he has pursued by speaking to his counterparts in prison towns was not only interesting, but informative. But impartiality was left on the sidelines as Acton made it quite clear where he stood on the matter. He spoke of cash that would flow into town to help extend services to the industrial park, and how jobs and new residents would roll in. “They will bring families, fill our schools and support our businesses,” he said. The need to increase public awareness also included feel-good provincial government videos bragging about how correctional facilities are wonderful employers and dynamic

places in the Best Place on Earth. Thankfully, the technology gods intervened and the sound didn’t work, forcing village staff to abandon their cinematic duties. A panel of experts was also on hand — retired guards and architects who specialize in the Big House. But no matter the questions fired at them, everything was absolutely rosy, and that situation wasn’t lost on at least one man in the crowd. “When looking at a panel that makes a living off of it, you’re going to get one side,” he said. If the village was truly dedicated to presenting a balanced approach and wanted the public to be as educated as possible, why just have the correctional cheerleaders there? Where were the groups that have concerns about our justice system or the victims’ rights advocates? Where were the police during all of this? Some questioned why the meeting was even called. “There’s lots of things that bring economic benefits. I’ve never seen a community meeting called to bring a college campus to Lumby,” said resident Don Elzer. “This is all about selling us on a prison.” In council’s defence, it has tried to get the answers to some questions, but apparently the provincial government has been too busy to deal with it. But Victoria’s ineptness aside, the village’s approach was hollow and very onesided. Acton and the rest of council are now back at the drawing board after realizing that considerable opposition does exist. “There won’t be a strong push to get this put into the ground but there will be a strong push for information,” he said of the village’s next steps. But let’s hope that any further consultation with the public doesn’t consist of a pre-conceived agenda, and the plug is pulled on the headset.
Although its residents are slowly taking stock of the toll taken on its psyche by last weekend’s turmoil in Toronto, it’s a worthwhile exercise to consider what’s worth celebrating about Canada as we turn 143 on Thursday. Still young by most standards, and possibly much still to learn about the world and how it perceives us considering the aftermath of the G8/G20 chaos, Canadians still have every right to celebrate everything red and white and maple leaf all over. Certainly while two of those things worth celebrating are the freedom of speech and the freedom to assemble, few of us would include the criminal acts that took over our largest city on Saturday as being anything remotely Canadian in character. Shame on the perpetrators and hopefully some sense of accountability comes out of the aftermath. It’s ironic that the shocking scenes of anarchy and violence, sparked mainly by a minority of individuals taking advantage of what should have been a peaceful protest, seemed to continue unimpeded during an event that was preceded by an astronomical security build-up at a huge cost to taxpayers. In a country that boasts “peace, order and good government,” it was an affront to our sensibilities. Perhaps this turn of events that so contrasts what most Canadians hold in high regard helps us realize what we take for granted in this country. This, for the most part, is a peaceful, law-abiding place to live where we can speak our minds freely and safely without fear of retribution. That alone is worth waving the flag over this Canada Day. Now, as for ever hosting a G8/ G20 event again? Not in this millennium.

A taxing issue
T
he main argument for the HST seems to be one of default: what else is there to pay for government expenses? The two main arguments against the HST are, first, that it is a regressive tax (proportionally affecting the poor most), and just as significantly, that it is being brought forward on the basis of government misrepresentation. Regardless of this, there are alternatives that place a fairer distribution of the tax burden away from the poor and towards those that proportionally receive most of the tax breaks. The first alternative is to change the income tax schedule. In simplest terms, those earning more should pay more. It has been the practice of all recent “neoliberal free market” governments to reduce taxes to their favourites, the highest income earners (who also statistically control the vast majority of the wealth in the country, a different thing than simply having a higher income). They should be taxed at increasing rates as the pay schedule increases. The counter argument to this is similar to the HST, a flat tax rate, but that, while proportional,
is still a regressive measure against low-income earners. A hypothetical 15 per cent flat tax for the poor could make the difference between feeding a family or not feeding a family; for the wealthy such a tax might make the difference between vacationing in Europe, or vacationing in Whistler. Another alternative is to tax the large corporations more, as over the years their tax burden has decreased significantly. The purpose of a corporation in general is to increase the wealth of the company by protecting the owners from liabilities of any kind whether
SWAN LAKE PLAN It was interesting to hear about the plans for the new Swan Lake nature preserve in your recent article, "Swan Lake Plan Proceeds." The article mentions that the North Okanagan Regional District and Ducks Unlimited purchased the land that became the park, but fails to mention that $50,000 of the money used to purchase the land was provided by the Bishop Wild Bird Foundation. It should be brought to the attention of your readers that members of the North Okanagan Naturalist Club are spending thousands of hours of volunteer time enhancing the habitat of the land for birds, preparing for the day when the park will have public access. When I see how members of the public disregard rules and regulations regarding the operation of parks, rules such as "No Dogs on the Beach" and "All Dogs Must be on Leash," I doubt that the
financial, personal, or environmental. As the corporations have become the partners of the elite politicians over the years their tax load has been transferred on to the population in general. Of course they will pass the increased expense forward, but as consumers, no one has to buy any particular product, most of which are wants rather than needs in any case. The poor will not be able to buy as much anyway, and proportionally the rich, who buy much more, will still have strong financial resources at hand to support their
citizens of the North Okanagan deserve another park, let alone a nature preserve. V.E. Merchant ACTIONS SPEAK Being an avid reader of letters to the editor in various newspapers in B.C. has led me to wonder about the way we are governed in this "Best Place on Earth." While there seem to be groups of people who place our premier as capable of walking on water between Victoria and the rest of the province, there also seems to be a group who think of him as the one who misleads us. The third group is calling him the most egotistical and arrogant person who ever entered B.C. politics. All of the above leads me to anxiously wait to see how our premier is going to solve the HST controversy he has created.
higher spending habits. One group of people who should not be taxed are the independent non-corporate farmers. Their land and their income should be tax free. Any added commercial business associated with that, or anyone ‘hobby’ farming looking for the tax breaks only should still come under the tax regime. Yes, governments need money to operate. I have no problem paying taxes as long as I can recognize them as being fairly distributed as per the arguments above, and as long as they are being put into good service for the people of the province. What is ‘good service’ for the people is highly arguable - some prefer more roads, others prefer more rapid transit. I signed the recall petition for the HST on both grounds - that it is an unfair tax and that it is based on a government that misleads its electors. If in the future a referendum supports the HST, so be it. In the meantime, there are alternatives to consider, and certainly there are different methods of presenting the introduction of such a broad tax. Jim MIles
Personally, I have lost any trust I had in our political system and especially I refuse to call any person in politics honourable for they have proven to be anything but honourable by their actions. Eric Halopainen MLA UPSETS So Eric Foster won't follow the lead of his fellow Liberal. Final proof that he is not a democratic representative of the constituents. Like Campbell he is a believer in dictatorship and can only spout off the official paragraphs they are told to read. Mr. Foster, you are an embarrassment to us in this riding and should step down now. After recall in November there will only be one Liberal left in B.C. government, Mr. Lekstrom. Stewart Wallach
THANK YOU On May 21, my husband collapsed in the parking lot of Superstore. Before I could get to him, two gentlemen came and helped him up and then paramedics and a nurse quickly arrived. In no time at all, they arranged for an ambulance. We appreciated all their help so much that just saying thank you seems not enough. My husband is at home doing well thanks to your quick response.

Abbott’s office targeted by vandals TRACY HUGHES Black Press
Tar, feathers and human or animal excrement were plastered all over the front of Shuswap MLA George Abbott’s Salmon Arm office this weekend, causing between $1,000 and $2,000 damage. Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane said Salmon Arm RCMP were called in about 7 a.m. Sunday and also found ‘666’ spray painted on the wall and a circle, similar to a target, painted around Abbott’s name.
“I would call this a cowardly act.” — George Abbott There was also damage done to an intercom phone system used by residents in the building. Abbott said he doesn’t know if the attack was centred around the government’s controversial
HST introduction coming up July 1 or was something related to the G20 meetings in Toronto. It could also be related to the local controversy surrounding an animal rendering plant, he added.
“I’m not certain what the meaning was, but I am certain that all citizens would deplore this type of vandalism. In my 31 years in politics, I have never encountered anything of this nature. Debates over things like the HST may be heated, but they have always been civil.” Abbott says he has received no untoward correspondence or anything that might give a clue as to the identity of the perpetrator. “I would call this a cowardly act and it says
Coldstream updates noise bylaw BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
Though it was drawn up some time ago, a noise bylaw has finally been put into practice in Coldstream. The bylaw governs all activities including yard work, construction, recreational vehicles, pets and radio or stereo equipment. Mayor Jim Garlick said approval of this bylaw is simply part of a plan to update the dis-
trict’s regulations. “It’s an ongoing process,” he said. “With previous bylaws, we want to catalogue them and get them up on the web.” It is just the latest in a series of bylaws that had been created but not implemented. Several others have been put into practice recently but prior to that, they were not enforceable since they had not been adopted. The noise bylaw had
not been updated since 1985. “It’s like cleaning house and making sure things are in order,” said Garlick. The new bylaw states no construction will be allowed before 7 a.m. and after 9 p.m. though permission may be sought from the bylaw officer if that proves impossible. People operating public address systems must secure a permit
first. All gas-powered lawn maintenance equipment must not be used after 9 p.m. or before 7 a.m. The penalty for violating the bylaw will be anywhere between $100 and $2,000. Exemptions apply to vehicles and animals used for agricultural purposes, emergency vehicles and private recreational devices such as hot tubs and air conditioners.

Canada Day and the start of the Funtastic slopitch tournament are rolled into one big party this week and Vernon RCMP are reminding holiday revellers to be on their best behaviour. “As usual, there will be a full contingent of officers working,” said RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “We’re working very closely with (event) organizers.” Thousands of people
will be arriving not only in Vernon but Enderby and Armstrong as well for the slo-pitch games being held in those cities. That’s got police carefully planning how they’ll manage road checks and security. “Officers will be out in full force,” said Molendyk. “Drinking and driving will not be tolerated just because there’s an event in our city. We want everyone to go home Monday morning in one piece.
“We’re coming into a long weekend and the first weekend of summer,” said Molendyk. “We anticipate a great number of people on our roads.” Police crews are at full capacity as the eight officers who were in Toronto to assist with security at the G8 and G20 summits have returned. The Funtastic beer garden will again be a focus for RCMP as no drinking will be allowed outside the fences.
“Liquor will be poured out and... depending on what happens around an incident, you may be charged,” said Molendyk. Since the event is held on Department of National Defence property, there are two sets of laws that govern the area and Molendyk said those attending should be aware of that. It is expected security cameras will again be installed in the beer garden.

Funds blossom during People Place garden tour Morning Star Staff
A public passion for gardens has paid off for non-profit agencies as the 10th annual People’s Place garden tour raised $6,800 for the society. “This event is our primary annual fundrais-
er, and the funds raised support the 15 local, non-profit social services agencies who are housed in People Place,” said Elaine Collison, executive director. “People Place provides affordable housing
for charitable organizations, allowing these agencies to focus their efforts on program deliverance. We send a sincere thank you to all those who supported the garden tour.” More than 420 people toured seven gardens
in the Greater Vernon area, including Village Green Mall, which was hosting exhibits by the Okanagan Gardens and Roses Club, the North Okanagan Orchid Society and the Vernon Bonsai Club.

Ode to Pearson nets scholarship for local student JESSICA SCHWITEK Morning Star Staff
Through the frustration and the writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; block, Amy Spence found the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;rest in peace.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;How meaningful would it be for someone who spent his whole life searching for peace to finally rest in peace?â&#x20AC;? asked Spence, a Colonel Douglas H. Gunter scholarship recipient. Every year the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa gives out scholarships to five graduating high school students across the country. And this year Spence, a Kalamalka Secondary student, won a $1,000 prize for an essay she wrote entitled A Eulogy for Mike. Former Canadian Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, often called Mike by his friends, died in 1972, and Spence put herself in that time and place to write a eulogy for the Nobel Peace Prize winner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wrote as if I was a close personal friend of Mr. Pearson,â&#x20AC;? said Spence. The purpose of the piece was to convey the chosen theme of this year which was peace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I originally had a different idea,â&#x20AC;? said Spence. But the idea wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really working. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Suddenly the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rest in peaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; came to mind.â&#x20AC;? And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when she came up with the idea to write a eulogy. This is clearly not a typical essay, and Spence is grateful she was given the opportunity to be a little more creative with this one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was able to put a little more heart into it.â&#x20AC;? Lester B. Pearson made his name in Canada and around the globe for his tireless efforts to bring peace to the world. Especially through his role in the Suez Crisis for which he became the only Canadian to ever win a Nobel Peace Prize. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never met anyone who fought so hard for peace,â&#x20AC;? wrote Spence. Not only did she get a scholarship out of the experience, Spence found a new role model as well she said. This fall Spence is heading to Vancouver to
attend the University of British Columbia, taking an arts program that combines English, history and philosophy classes.
But at the moment she is not entirely sure what educational direction she will pursue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have crazy dreams,
and then back-up plans,â&#x20AC;? she said. And those crazy dreams have gotten a little financial help. This is

Work on Creighton Creek aids fish, flood prevention MICHELLE WALSH Special To The Morning Star
Although the long term effectiveness of salmon habitat restoration activities in Creighton Creek (a tributary of Bessette Creek in the Middle Shuswap River) wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be known until after spring freshet in 2010, the results are looking positive. This important salmon-bearing stream has suffered from decades of forest harvesting, land management practices and, combined with irrigation licenses that total several times the available water, have contributed to the state of instability and compromised productivity in Creighton Creek. In 1997, approximately 9,600 cubic metres of gravel landed in the creek when the stream changed course, cutting through open pasture. Gravel has been slowly working down the stream and is now wreaking havoc in the lowermost section of the creek where the low gradient inhibits gravel transport. With all this gravel, the creek experiences either extreme dewatering or extreme flooding which does not bode well for the fish, invertebrates, local farms and houses, industrial park, and overall water quality. In 2009, several groups joined together to restore the natural processes affecting salmon habitat formation in the lower portion of the creek. This was to ensure that continuous flow was maintained and stayed within the creek. Over a 10-day period approximately 400 metres of the creek was restored. Efforts of the Charles Bloom Grade 11 biology class who helped enhance about 450 metres of the riparian area this spring made a difference. They planted White Spruce, Bebbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Willows, and Red Osier Dogwood. Not only has the creek maintained continuous flow but flooding in the winter was not appreciable and flooding this spring did not occur. As the bedload materials continue to be down-cut by the flow, less flooding will occur and the ditches will eventually become
obsolete. High flows this spring will provide a good test of the in-stream structures and flood prevention structures.
Like so many streams in the Shuswap and Okanagan regions, Creighton Creek has less water available than what
is licensed for irrigation. Creation of pools in the lower area of this creek will help reduce water loss to groundwater
thus allowing more water for fish and other waterusers which will reduce the consequences of accidental over-withdrawals

Students show fundraising heart BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
The fundraising haul from Beairsto Elementary’s recent Jump Rope for Heart event was so big, principal Wendy Varley had to wheel the bag into the bank on a skateboard. “I was getting some funny looks at the bank,” said Varley of the record-setting $24,145, a good portion of it in change, the school raised this year. It’s the most ever contributed by a public school. “We keep getting blown away at how generous people are,” said Varley, adding a group of leadership students spent two hours counting all the money and were perhaps a bit unsure they’d added it up properly. “We were shocked too.” The funds go to the Okanagan-Kootenay Heart and Stroke Foundation of B.C. and the Yukon. Money helps buy equipment such as automated external defibrillators and fund summer study programs for high school students. Heart and Stroke Foundation school program co-ordinator Sharon Gardner was wowed by the grand total as well but upon entering the school, she wasn’t surprised. “You can tell when you walk through the door that you’re in a good school with good leaders,” said Gardner, who visits schools all over the Kootenays and Okanagan. “That’s what you feel here.”

The campaign has been important for generating awareness of heart health amongst Beairsto’s students, says Varley. “We’re seeing a lot more skipping on the playground now,” she said. The school does Jump Rope for Heart every other year. Last time, they raised a little more than $17,000. The whole school took part on May 4 with much of the organization thanks to teacher David Helm. He helped set up stations in the gym and classes came in two at a time to do their part. “As a foundation, we have a goal and probably won’t reach it but when you hear a good news story like this, it reminds you why you’re in the fundraising business,” said Suzanne Pugh, Heart and Stroke Foundation area manager. Students were also able to write the name of a loved one that had suffered with heart and stroke complications on a paper heart that was later posted on a school wall. Jump Rope for Heart generates a third of the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s research dollars every year.

HST revenues to be redistributed to B.C. residents Morning Star Staff
As the HST comes into effect on Thursday, about 1.1 million British Columbians will start receiving the new quarterly B.C. HST credit, Finance Minister Colin Hansen announced Monday. “We recognize people will pay more under HST for some goods and services, and the B.C. HST credit ensures that people with low and modest incomes will get help with these costs,” said Hansen. Those with incomes up to $20,000 will receive an annual HST credit up to $230. Families with incomes up to $25,000 will receive an annual B.C. HST credit up to $230 per family member. The first cheques will be distributed the week of July 5. The credit will be in addition to the GST credit of up to $381 and the $105-per-adult B.C. Low Income Climate Action Tax Credit that those with low and modest incomes now receive. To further reduce the tax burden for B.C. families, the basic personal tax credit was increased to $11,000, an increase of $1,627 from 2009 that puts $80 back in the pockets of individuals and up to $160 for those claiming spousal credits. The introduction of the HST follows numerous tax cuts since 2001. As a result, B.C. has the lowest provincial personal income taxes in Canada for those earning up to $118,000. For example a family of four with an income of $30,000 has over $700 more in their pocket this year from income tax cuts alone. The HST system includes other measures to help minimize the impact on consumers. For example: ■ Consumers won’t pay HST on any goods or services that don’t have GST now, including basic groceries, residential rent, prescription drugs and most health, medical and dental services – to name just a few. ■ Consumers won’t pay the seven-per cent provincial part of the HST on motor fuels, books, children-sized clothing and footwear, children’s
car seats and car booster seats, children’s diapers and feminine hygiene products. ■ Purchasers of
newly built homes will be eligible for a rebate up to $26,250 through a provincial new housing rebate. There will be no
HST on used housing. ■ Consumers will not pay any more to heat or power their homes because of a new pro-
vincial credit for residential energy, equal to the seven-per cent provincial portion of the HST. “The B.C. HST
credit ensures low- and modest-income British Columbians are protected from the additional costs of HST, even as they
stand to benefit from the jobs and higher incomes that come with a stronger, more productive economy,” said Hansen.

Shuswap musician reaches a few peaks Canada Day is just one of the things Greg Sczebel is celebrating this summer BARB BROUWER Black Press
When Greg Sczebel arrived in Nashville last month he had no idea he’d be flying high even after his plane landed on the tarmac. But that’s what happened when he recently learned he is one of this year’s top 20 artists in the annual Peak Performance Project, sponsored by 100.5 Peak FM. The next piece of stellar news arrived just a few hours later in a phone call from home and excited instructions from his mom to go to the John Lennon Songwriting contest web page. And there, in huge bright letters, right in the middle of the page was “The Toby Gad Experience Winner: Greg Sczebel.” “I was still buzzing off the news about the Peak Performance Project,” said Sczebel, a Salmon Arm native who is one of the performers at Vernon’s Canada Day festivities in Polson Park Thursday. “And just when I thought the day couldn’t get any better, I got another phone call with the amazing news about the Toby Gad Experience.” As the winner of this contest sponsored by the John Lennon Group, Sczebel gets an allexpenses-paid trip to Los Angeles. Chosen by the hit singer-songwriter/producer, himself, Sczebel will fly to L.A. in July for a two-day songwriting session with Gad in his own studio. “The organizers had entries from all over the world and they narrowed it to the top 100,” said Sczebel, who will walk away from the session with a co-written song ready for airplay,
JAMES MURRAY/SALMON ARM OBSERVER
Salmon Arm musician Greg Sczebel should have everyone dancing when he plays at the Canada Day festivities in Polson Park Thursday. an Epiphone guitar and a Blackheart amp. Sczebel’s excitement stems from Gad’s ability and stature in the music industry. He co-wrote and produced Beyonce’s Grammy-winning, number-one hit single If I Were a Boy and co-wrote Fergie’s Grammynominated number-one smash Big Girls Don’t Cry. Gad has also worked with Alicia Keys, Miley Cyrus, Donna Summer, Natasha Bedingfield, Brandy, Enrique Iglesias, Robin Thicke and
many others. Making the most of his trip, Sczebel plans to remain in L.A. for a week to meet with film and music industry people. Earlier this month, Sczebel headed to Vancouver for an orientation and to meet the 19 other artists in the Peak Performance Project. Chosen from more than 470 entries, the 20 contestants will be mentored by a group of experts in the industry over the next few
months and will attend a seven-day music boot camp. Throughout the project, the artists’ marketing strategies, live performances and career planning are all judged by a panel of industry professionals. Fans are also invited to weigh in and vote for their favourite artist –– the result is worth 20 per cent of the artist’s overall score. All acts are guaranteed $3,500 in development money, as well as a shot at winning the top prize of $100,500. Second, third, fourth and fifth-place winners will walk away with $75,000, $50,000, $10,000 and $5,000, respectively. The results in this year’s Peak Performance Project will be revealed in November. Sczebel has already enjoyed another success this year; he was a finalist in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition pop category, with his song How Am I Supposed to Breathe? In the top three, this is the first time the artist has been recognized in the pop category. He has been a finalist in the R&B category and grand prize winner in gospel twice. Sczebel has been busy touring western Canada with Vernon-born and raised drummer Dan Oldfield, performed at various venues during the 2010 Olympics with Paul Brandt, and was in Nashville to rehearse with Brandt and his band for a summertime festival tour. His latest radio single, I’ve Got That Feelin’, has received heavy airplay in recent months on several major Canadian stations. His sophomore album, Love & the Lack Thereof, hit store shelves nationwide in February and is available at CD Plus and iTunes. Sczebel takes the Polson Park band shell stage at 2 p.m. and joins the likes of fellow, local artists Jodi Pederson, Ryan Donn, Raquel Warchol, and others as part of the free Canada Day celebrations all day Thursday.

Civic Sounds attendees will have the opportunity to listen to a range of music including alternative, folk, country, classic rock, jazz, blues, easy listening and gypsy/ ragtime. “Remember to bring your blanket or chair and come out to enjoy the free summer entertainment in Downtown Vernon this summer,” said Schmidt.

island off Germany as a stand-in. The location seems oppressive –– perpetually cloaked in gray mist or rain –– giving the entire surroundings a clammy feel. (Although there’s some doubt as to whether it has the ambience of the U.S. eastern seaboard.) Resonating with topical themes, this atmospheric and suspenseful political thriller is set in a world in which noth-
Vernon Film Society
Prior to his September, 2009 arrest in Switzerland, Roman Polanski was directing a film from the novel by Robert Harris (who also adapted the screenplay) –– a dark political thriller about a writer who stumbles upon a secret while ghosting the autobiography of a former British prime minister. Not to be confused with Ghostwriter (the 1992 TV series directed by Susan Dansby) nor the children’s TV series of the same name produced by Sesame workshop and the BBC, The Ghost Writer was completed in February, 2009. When premiered at the 60th Berlinale in February, Polanski won a Silver Bear for Best Director. Unable to receive the prize in person, he commented: “Even if I could, I wouldn’t, because the last time I went to a festival to get a prize I ended up in jail.” When a minor author (Ewan McGregor) is asked to complete the partly written memoir of former PM Adam Lang (Pierce Brosnan) his agent assures him it’s the opportunity of a lifetime. Lang (who for legal reasons cannot remain in England) has moved to the U.S., where he is exiled on a small island –– thus mirroring Polanski’s own exile in Europe. And here’s the challenge: when the writer arrives to work on the project, he finds that there’s a four-week publishing deadline, and the

Ewan McGregor stars as a scribe hired to pen a memoir by a disgraced politician in The Ghost Writer, the latest film by director Roman Polanski. previous manuscript is incomplete. Not only that, but his predecessor (who was Lang’s long-term aide) had died in a mysterious accident. Working with Lang, the writer is so frustrated by the rules of the former prime minister’s house that he makes little progress. He’s controlled by Lang’s wife, Ruth (Olivia Williams), and his secretary, and possible mistress, Amelia (Kim Cattrall). To complicate things even further, the day after the writer arrives, Lang is accused of war crimes for rendering terrorism suspects to the CIA. And the controversy brings reporters and protesters swarming to the island mansion. For every step forward on the book, the writer has to take two steps back. More and more he begins to suspect that he’s not getting the whole story on Lang, nor on the death of the
previous ghostwriter. He begins to uncover clues suggesting that his predecessor may have found information linking Lang to the CIA— and that somehow this is hidden in the unfinished manuscript. This film clearly points to the relationship between British and U.S. intelligence. Certainly there are secrets in Lang’s life that powerful people might want buried. Not only does Lang strongly resemble Tony Blair (not just physically but also politically), we see references to former Secretary of Stat Condeleeza Rice and to energy giant Halliburton. For Polanski, this may have been a personal project. By placing the CIA in a negative light Polanski can thumb his nose at the U.S. government, which in reality is seeking his extradition. Polanski obviously could not film in the U.S., so he used an

Come meet one of Vernon’s newest imports when Tanya Lipscomb applies her three-octave voice to some of her latest songs at the Okanagan Centre for Spiritual Living Friday. The singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist is releasing her latest studio album, an eclectic mix of jazzy folk, funky soul and east coast country with a twist of gospel, recorded at Piano Jam Studio by local producer Henry Piovesan. “I’ve released three albums before, but this is my first studio album. It’s so neat that I was able to do it in my new hometown,” said Lipscomb who moved to Vernon with her partner and three young children in December. “The album is essentially a musical pot-luck. It is so random and so hard to classify this one. The words are innovative and thought provoking. I’m an artist for change.” Lipscomb grew up in a rural setting near Perth, Ont. in the Ottawa Valley with old-fashioned values and virtues. Her childhood home was heated by wood, and her check out

Lipscomb developed an ear for music and started writing songs at the young age of three. When she finally decided to put her songs on paper at the age of 12, she joined a band, and has been making music either in an ensemble or as a solo artist ever since. Living in Jasper for 10
years before coming to the Okanagan, Lipscomb has starred in musicals, played clarinet and trumpet in big bands, sung in choirs and chorales and has performed as a solo act on stages across Canada, opening for or performing with the likes of Tom Cochrane, Wide Mouth Mason, Mama Guroove, Russel Jackson and the Plaid-tongued Devils. And she has spread her contagious charisma, stage presence and interactive performances since

Protest wraps up successful anti-HST campaign Morning Star Staff
A crowd gathered in front of city hall and then marched to the water downtown during a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wrap upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; HST protest in Kelowna on Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today is our wrap up day, even though the petition runs until July 5,â&#x20AC;? said Daniel Thorburn, organizer of the protest. Thorburn said around 25 per cent of registered voters in each of the Kelowna ridings have signed the petition. Former B.C. premier Bill Vander Zalm will deliver the petition to Victoria on Wednesday, said Thorburn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an exciting day. This is a celebration to say weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done our bit, lets move on to the next step,â&#x20AC;? said MaryAnn Graham, petition captain for Kelowna-
Lake Country. The Liberal MLAs elected in the Central Okanagan ridings could
be targeted for recall by HST protesters, after they were put on an â&#x20AC;&#x153;HST hit listâ&#x20AC;? issued by
the Fight HST group on June 23. Norm Letnick (Kelowna-Lake
Country), Ben Stewart ( Westside-Kelow na) and Steve Thomson (Kelow na-Mission),
as well as Eric Foster ( Vernon-Monashee) and George Abbott (Shuswap), are on the
list because of the number of signatures collected in their ridings on the anti-HST petition.

A flock of athletes plunge into Okanagan Lake to start the 16th annual Kal RATS Sprint Triathlon Sunday morning at Kin Beach. Right: Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nathan Champness charges down the final stretch towards the finish line for his first win at the event.
Champness charges for sprint title GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Seventh timeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a charm. Well, it was for Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nathan Champness Sunday morning at Kin Beach. The 26-year-old got the first-place finish he has been striving years for in the 16th annual Kal RATS (Running And Triathlon Sport) Sprint Triathlon, finishing the 750metre swim, 18-km bike and 5-km run in one hour and 55 seconds. He was more than two minutes ahead of runner-up Kevin Lane of Coldstream (1:03:02). Port Coquitlamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fraser Cashion was third in 1:03:27. Jen Bond (1:10:37) and Vanessa Tilson (1:10:56), both of Vernon, were first and second respectively in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s division. Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Victoria Frost (1:13:47) was the third female finisher.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve raced it seven of the last eight years, finished second twice. I had a bit of a jinx going,â&#x20AC;? grinned Champness, sounding only slightly hoarse shortly after crossing the finish line. Not bad for a guy who has stepped away from competition so far this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is my first race this year. I picked the best day to start. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss this race for the world. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first one I ever did,â&#x20AC;? said Champness, whose next big event will be age-group nationals, Aug. 22 in Kelowna. Champness, who was fourth out of the water, credits extra training time in the pool for his success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not usual, normally Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m around 13th (in the swim). Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working on that all winter,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the fitness I usually have this time of year, but I got away on skill.â&#x20AC;?
Champness is sponsored by The Starting Block, Olympia Cycle and General Nutrition Centre (GNC) and Randy Wilson at SunLife Financial. Other age-group winners include: John Smit (1:06:16), menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 45-49; Braedon Cashion (1:08:39), menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20-24; D. Dawson (1:09:14), menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 55-59; Byron Gayfer (1:10:21), menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 40-44; Jaroslaw Pukacz (1:14:01), menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50-54; Janine Benson (1:15:56), womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 40-44; Hella Versfeld (1:18:35), womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 60-64; Gayanne Pacholzuk (1:18:49), womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 45-49; Warren Yablonski (1:18:58), menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 30-34; Jaime Yeomans (1:19:39), womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 25-29; Charlie Bruce (1:20:00), menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 60-64; Myriam Bossahard (1:20:35), womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20-24; Julie Parenteau (1:20:43), womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 35-39; Jan Taylor (1:34:11), womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50-54; Linda Bourassa (1:36:51), womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 55-59; Byron Beck (1:40:26), menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 70+.

The NHL Entry Draft was the furthest thing from Kellen Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mind Saturday afternoon. The 19-year-old Kootenay product was busy throwing heat for the Trail Orioles in senior menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s baseball action against the host Kelowna Jays. In between innings, Jones checked his phone and saw all these messages saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;Congratulations.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What the heck is this for?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?
Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when he listened to a voicemail from the Edmonton Oilers staff, welcoming him as their seventh-round pick (No. 202 overall) at the draft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told Connor (brother). I think he was on deck.â&#x20AC;? Jones admits the news didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really help his concentration on the mound. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was pitching really well, and then I saw that and lost my focus. They hit me up pretty bad actually.â&#x20AC;? Over three seasons with the Vipers, Kellen posted

Short, 20, of Coldstream, accepted the trophy as he gets set to pursue a pro hockey career. "It's obviously nice," he said. "Last year, we never expected to win it. We were up against a team (Seaton Sonics boys volleyball) that was undefeated the whole year, 110 and 0, or something like that. This year, it's great to win it again, to be recognized. It makes it feel like we earned it last year and we got it back this year. This was the only one that could have got away and we got it." Added Williamson, who just got back from working a hockey camp in Newfoundland: "It definitely feels good. Obviously, being up against the Paralympic team which did a great job representing Vernon and our country too, it's a huge honour to be able to win this honour and represent our city well. Obviously, our guys do a good job each and every year." The Vipers won the Fred Page Cup as B.C. Hockey League champions, disposing of the Powell River Kings in six games. Vernon was 51-6-0-3 in the regular season, just short of the franchise record for points. The Vipers defeated the Alberta League champion Spruce Grove Saints in a seven-game Doyle Cup regional series to advance to the national tournament in Dauphin, Man., where they ambushed the host Kings 8-1 in the gold-medal game. Also nominated was the Paralympic Team, including Gaudet, Forrest, sit skier Josh Dueck and Mehain. Directors for the North Okanagan Athlete and Team of the Year awards are: Dan Currie, Peter McIntyre, Kevin Mitchell, Ken Richardson, Peter Roberts, Betty Selin and John Topping.

Cats zap Rattlers Morning Star Staff
For three key veterans of the Vernon Re/ Max Tigers, a two-week break gives them more time in rehab. The rest of the Tigers will train hard and await the winner of the Kamloops Rattlers-Armstrong Shamrocks first-round playoff series. The Tigers finished the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse regular season with a comeback 11-10 victory over the Rattlers Saturday night at Wesbild Centre. Vernon topped the seven-team loop at 12-1-1, two points ahead of the Kamloops Venom, who also receive a first-round bye. Miles Jespersen (9-5-14), Darren Kirby (4-5-9) and Austin Lewarne (0-8-8) all missed Saturday's game with various injuries. Jespersen hurt his rotator cuff wakeboarding and could be questionable for the start of the playoffs. "With three injuries, it's (the break) perfect," said Tigers' co-coach Rich Zecchel. "Otherwise, we'd rather keep playing. It's nice to win the league so it's a tradeoff." The Tigers finished third last year before claiming the playoff crown and a silver medal at provincials. Said alternate captain Blake Lewis, who missed Saturday's game to attend a wedding: "I think the bye will be a good thing

Vernon Re/Max Tigers' Riley Soleway pays the price for holding onto the ball as Kamloops Rattlers' Brett Fleming lays him out during Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League action Saturday at Wesbild Centre. The Tigers earned a 11-10 comeback win to conclude the regular season. because even though we don't play any games, it allows the team to rest up and come into our first match-up relatively healthy. The time off will allow the team to regroup, and enter the playoffs at full
strength." Tigers' captain Rob Short supplied four goals in the first period and ended Saturday night with 5+4, getting the winner with a minute remaining.

Gary Edwards delivers a forehand in round-robin play at the UTA Canaccord Tennis Tournament Saturday at Marshall Field.
Zieske clutch for Camels Morning Star Staff
Missing a week of Capri Insurance Men's 45+ Soccer League action hardly slowed down midfielder Dan Zieske Monday night at Mission 69 Field in Kelowna. Zieske earned the Old Spice Man of the Match as the Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels shut down Kelowna Cantina's Pub 4-0. The burly Zieske, who couldn’t play in last week's showdown with the North Country Appraisals Kickers due to a pair of yellow cards, took a feed from Rick Raber, cut hard to the net and went top shelf for the Camels' opening goal in the 15th minute. Zieske laid in a nice corner 10 minutes later which a hard-charging Al Murphy nodded past keeper Jim Denton. Gord Howard, who struck the post on a first-half penalty kick, made it 3-0 midway through the second half, controlling a bouncing pass from Rod Trentini and neatly beating Denton.
Midfielder Brad Hansen completed the 10-1 Humpbacks' offence by getting decent vertical and heading in a Murphy cross just before the final whistle. Dave Dutcher recorded the shutout. Cantina's dropped to 3-8. Okanagan Spring Brewery rallied from a 2-1 deficit to defeat the last-place Rutland Spirit 4-2 at Mission 71 Field. Denis Chabot led the Brewers' attack with two goals, with Doug Massie and Mike Lloyd connecting on the others. Mike Zuber earned the win as Spring went to 7-4. Rutland is 0-11. Pushor Mitchell Advocates got a pair of goals from big striker Fritz Berenyi as they stopped the Silver Stars 4-1 at Marshall Field #2. Rick Ito and Kevin Berry also scored for the Advocates (5-5-1), while Mark DeVolder responded in the 20th minute for the Stars (5-4-2), taking a cross from Brian Eso and connecting low, right corner. Vernon's Big O Tire
Ogopogos bowed 5-1 to Penticton United at Parkinson 16 Field in Kelowna. The teams were tied 1-1 at the half with Gary Dill scoring for the Ogopogos on a high blast from 30 yards out which went off Penticton keeper Mike Killickl's fingertips. Big O lost Bernhart Huber early in the second half with a hamstring injury. Huber had been playing a great stopper position. Penticton (10-1) followed with two goals each by Tony Munoz and Brad Findlay and a single by Val Burgart. Big O (2-6-3) replied on an excellent feed from Boris Paseka to center half Leo Nadeau, who gave a beautiful through ball to speedy forward Mark Wasylyk, who deked the keeper and found net. Nadeau earned Aqua Velva Man of the Match with honourable mention to defender David Hampton, sweeper Rob Ross and keeper Yogi Kongsdorf. North Country
Appraisals Kickers settled for a 1-1 draw with Lake Country at Beasley Park in Winfield. Will Kruiper scored in the first five minutes for the Kickers (9-1-1), but that was it for North Country as they had trouble finishing on the night. Lake Country got the equalizer off a late corner and had a chance to win it but they missed a penalty kick after a North Country player made a slide tackle in the box. Marty Vinze stopped the Lake Country shooter. In Okanagan Men's 35+ League action, Bosman Accounting of Vernon led blew a 2-0 lead and lost 3-2 to Lakeshore Drywall at Marshall Field #1. Vernon captain Henk Bosman scored a laser on a free kick in the low left corner in the 15th minute. Just 10 minutes later, central midfielder Wes Vanderveen fed a long pass to Mike Gilman, who spread the Lakeshore defence open with a smart pass to right midfielder Mark
Sladen. Sladen went in alone, spun around the keeper, and made it 2-0. The accountants dropped to 1-9-1, while the drywallers improved to 2-9. First-place Penticton FC grounded Vernon Toyota 6-0 at Mission 74 Field. Penticton is 10-02, while Toyota dipped to 7-3-1.
Kellen was puzzled, and a little saddened, that Connor wasn’t chosen as well. “Edmonton said they wanted to draft both of us, but could only take one,” said Kellen, who earned the Tubby Schmalz Trophy as the Most Sportsmanlike Player at the Royal Bank Cup in Dauphin. I was surprised he (Connor) wasn’t chosen because he had such a good year... better than mine. I was sad he couldn’t share it with me.” Added Vipers’ assistant coach Jason Williamson: “I think they should have probably taken both of them. Kellen showed a little bit of perseverance with the broken jaw, and good for him. “I watched Stu McGregor, the head scout’s online thing and he basically summed it up, saying ‘He’s 5-foot-9 but plays with a heart that’s probably 5-foot-9.’ And that’s exactly right. “Those two have a chance just because of the passion and determination they play the game with. They’re pretty special players.” The good news is, Connor has also received an invite to the Oilers’ prospect orientation camp that Kellen is attending next week in Edmonton. The camp will also give the twins a chance to meet up with former Viper defenceman Kyle Bigos, who the Oilers took with the 99th overall pick at last year’s draft. Aside from playing with the Orioles, the Jones boys, who likely could have earned NCAA baseball scholarships, will be helping Vipers’ head coach Mark Ferner run a hockey camp in Vernon. They will also help their father, Terry, run one in Trail before heading east to Quinnipiac. Meanwhile, Penticton Vees’ rookie Beau Bennett was selected 20th overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins, making him the highest-ever draft pick from California. Ryan Johansen, another former Vee who played last season with the WHL Portland Winter Hawks, was chosen fourth overall by the Columbus Blue Jackets. Port Alberni Bulldogs’ sniper Mark McMillan was selected in the fourth round (113th) by the Montreal Canadians, and Vees’ defenceman Isaac MacLeod was selected by the San Jose Sharks in the fifth round, 136th overall.

He and Gayle, a former editor at Esprit magazine in Winnipeg, decided to move to Mexico upon their retirement. After a couple years they decided they missed Canada too much, and moved back home. “All Gayle said was ‘I’m not going back to Winnipeg,’” said Moore-Morrans. So they headed for the Okanagan, first to Penticton, and now Vernon. Moore-Morrans has been dabbling in writing for quite some time now, but this is his first published work. Currently

Ian Moore-Morrans has written his first novel, Beyond the Phantom Battle: Mystery at Lock Ashie, with the help of his wife and editor, Gayle.
hair • cadi lla •c
Scottish-Canadian author Ian MooreMorrans found inspiration from a magazine article for his first published work, novel Beyond the Phantom Battle: Mystery at Loch Ashie. While visiting his family in Scotland six years ago, Moore-Morrans read an article in Scots magazine about sightings of a “phantom battle” at Loch Ashie. People who claimed to see the battle supposedly taking place annually at northern Loch Ashie were scoffed at the same way those who claim to spot UFOs are. Moore-Morrans began writing his book right then and there. “It’s actually a phantom battle between the ancient Highlanders and the Vikings,” said Moore-Morrans. Twin brothers from Edinburgh find an article about this phantom battle, much the same way Moore-Morrans did, and when they go to check it out they find themselves transported back to the 12th century. “It’s a good time-travel fiction,” said Moore-Morrans. During their travels back to present time the brothers find themselves involved in adventure after adventure, including imprisonment and a possible execution. “They even fall in love with two young lassies,” said Gayle Moore-Morrans, Ian’s wife and editor. It is a novel of adventure, fantasy and romance. But it is also an homage to the beautiful Scottish Highlands as well. “Anyone interested in Scotland will be interested in this book,” said MooreMorrans. After moving from Scotland in 1965, Moore-Morrans worked as a machinist all over Canada.

Marmots invade the garden
I
had a call recently from a lady who was really having problems with marmots feasting on her garden. I wish I had a simple answer. I suggested renting a badger, as this is one of the natural predators. The alternative is a 12-gauge shotgun which is not Fred Lyall allowed within the city limits. I know one fellow who finds their dens and uses his garden hose to drown out the den. In many cases this would drown the young in the den. I suggest the garden hose is your best bet.
IN THE GARDEN
The hills to the west are really looking good, real green and looking alive, not the usual brown we are most familiar with. The strawberry growers like some rain but not when they are trying to harvest the berries. This is the year we should have rain barrels in our yards to catch the water off the roofs. If enough people did this and used the water to take care of baskets, planters and square-foot gardens, it would take some pressure off the amount of water from the usual city supply sources. The schools are out for the summer and I hope they enjoy their holidays. Recently I saw and reported some of the lowest form of vandalism to public property. Three of the new flowering crab
trees planted on 27th Avenue just west of Hospice House were broken over. To me this is the lowest form of vandalism. The trees were planted during 2009 and were about eight feet high and very nice specimens. There was no way they could be saved. Most garden clubs are recessed for the summer. Picnics and garden visits are the normal thing for July and August. The People Place Garden Visits were an outstanding success. I spoke to several people that were on the tour and said the gardens they visited were beautiful. I heard many comments from folks on the Orchid Society show and the Okanagan Gardens and Roses show. The Village Green Mall deserves a big thank-you for the service they provide.

Life t’s been awhile since I offered something different to try at home, and what could be nicer than a sushi lunch for a few friends? The first thing that comes to mind for many people when they hear the word sushi is raw fish, and it is not necessarily so. Today’s recipes are vegetarian but fish, other seafoods, and meats can be used if you choose. Sushi is not at all difficult to make and with a few tips you’ll soon be a pro at it. Everything unusual you will need to make this yummy delight is available at A Fine Kettle of Fish in downtown Vernon. Basically, sushi is cooked vinegared sweet rice, commonly rolled in seaweed (nori) with strips of vegetables or seafood in the centre. Commonly it’s eaten with pickled ginger, wasabi paste and soy sauce. Give it a try — you’re sure to enjoy it.

Civil shoreline construction work will commence the week of June 28, 2010 and is expected to be completed by July 19, 2010. Minor traffic delays may be experienced at the cable termination points at Okanagan Centre Road West and 4th Street in Lake Country and along Westside Road. Onshore and offshore work using barges and specialized cable laying equipment will be taking place between July 19 and August 6, 2010. To complete this work safely, it will be necessary to temporarily close the outer gravel boat launch at Okanagan Centre Safe Harbour for extended periods between July 19 and August 6, 2010. The inner cement Safe Harbour boat launch will remain open. Please be advised that during this construction period the Safe Harbour area will be congested and parking may be limited. The work will take place within the approved Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Ministry of Environment work window for the construction activities on or adjacent to Okanagan Lake. BC Hydro recognizes that these construction activities may be an inconvenience and we will complete the work as quickly as possible.

Special Olympics Vernon will add a fitness program, track and field and snowshoeing to longtime favourite sports such as curling, softball, soccer, bowling, floor hockey and others. Longtime volunteers May Wilson and John Raikes as well as Barb Bardford were especially recognized for their contribution to the society. “This shows the amazing involvement from the Vernon community and their commitment to our intellectual disabled athletes,” said regional field manager Leslie Thornly, who attended from Kelowna. “Volunteer coaches and executives are doing an exceptional job at providing a variety of sports programs which improves the heath and social skills for the participants.”

The Vernon Special Olympics organization continues to provide more sports programs and prepares athletes for provincial and national championships. At the recent annual general meeting local coordinator Barb Bradford elaborated on the success of the local programs, which offer sport programs for more than 110 athletes with intellectual disabilities. Two softball players, Marcus Carberry and Robert Penning, will represent Vernon on the provincial team at the upcoming National Games in London, Ont. “These two players have shown exceptional talent and skills over the past years and I am very proud that they have been chosen to go to Nationals”, said Craig Carter, local head coach. “Robert Penning is a longtime participant with Special Olympics. He is in his mid-40s and there is nothing stopping him to be a passionate, successful competitor.” Local program coordinator Perry Doner said the outlook for the 2010/11 program is a bright one. “Not only will be have all our downhill and cross country skiers

AAA CARPET CARE
Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL
PUZZLE NO. 203
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Although your authority over others will be most effective, your ways won’t come off as being harsh. You’ll have an innate sense of others’ shortcomings and bypass them when it comes to their work
ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203
HOW TO PLAY: Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: you must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box. 091221

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Aid that you’d least expect will help you get yourself out of a tough bind. With this assistance, you’ll be able to neatly escape from a situation you’ve been unable to resolve.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If you have a sensitive matter that needs to be handled carefully, the more people who are involved that you can contact and work closely with, the more likely everything will turn out OK.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Associates will appreciate your gentle manner and your willingness to do whatever it takes to reach success, not only for yourself but for them as well, all without making them feel obligated.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A new avenue could open up that will lead to you believing more in yourself and less in what others have to say. This fresh outlook will help you achieve an important goal.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Promises you’ve made will not be broken, even if it means putting off something you wanted to do. Although this may be a sacrifice, you won’t see it as such and will happily do what you can.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Conditions are likely to provide just the opening you’ve been hoping for to have that sensitive conversation with another. Once you get things off your mind, all will be well. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Give priority to a delicate matter that has to do with your material well-being. You’ll have all the right words at the right time to resolve whatever it is in the right manner. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You won’t ignore matters that must be treated seriously. But at the same time, you will be able to stay loose enough to enjoy a good laugh, even if it is on you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A sensitive development could arise again, similar to one you previously handled well. You won’t have to alter your methods one bit, because this past experience will serve you well.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) This is likely to be a very rewarding day, not so much from work you do, but from how you handle others. Your sensitivity to their shortcomings will be appreciated in heartfelt ways.

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

Moderately Confused
Time for a NEW …
Bridge by Phillip Alder It is interesting that pauses by declarer at trick one generate more grumbles from the opponents than delays in the middle of the deal. But perhaps that is because by the middle, it is often too late for declarer to recover from a blunder that would have been avoided if he had taken time at trick one. In this deal South is in our favorite game contract: three no-trump. What should West lead? How should declarer plan the play? The North hand is a tad strong for a three-diamond rebid, but there is nothing better. He mustn’t go past three no-trump; and a three-no-trump rebid, although it would show an excellent, long diamond
suit, is dangerous with no guaranteed stoppers in the unbid suits. South, though, has an easy threeno-trump rebid. West should lead the spade nine, top of nothing. Remember, a fourthhighest lead promises at least one honor in that suit. South has nine top tricks -- two spades and seven diamonds -- if he overtakes dummy’s spade king with his ace at trick one. Then he can cash the spade queen and run dummy’s diamonds. If declarer wins trick one with dummy’s king and cashes the diamonds, East should realize that if South has the heart ace, the contract is unbeatable. Similarly, West should place his partner with
the club ace. Both should discard spades and clubs, keeping all of their hearts. Then, when declarer calls for a low club at trick nine, East can win with his ace and shift to hearts, giving the defenders the last five tricks.
