Director slams nature park plans RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
One elected official is against pumping tax dollars into a nature park. Director Mike Gavinchuk is opposed to the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee moving ahead with turning the 140 acres around Rose’s Pond into a public facility with walking trails and interpretive signs. “Do we need that extra park?” said Gavinchuk at Thursday’s GVAC meeting. “Who has decided we need to make a park out of this little slough?” Rose’s Pond, which is along
“Who has decided we need to make a park out of this little slough?” — Mike Gavinchuk Commonage Road, has been designated as environmentally significant because it’s home to painted turtles and eared grebe. “It’s a migratory stopping point for birds,” said Al McNiven, parks and recreation general manager. However, Gavinchuk insists naturalist groups should enhance the site, not government.

“Don’t hang it on to the taxpayers. What ever we do there will be expensive,” he said. Support for the park, though, comes from GVAC chairman Wayne Lippert. “The intent is to build a trail system so people have a place to walk and we will put signs up to inform the public about the environment,”

he said, adding that such enhancements should not be costly. Director Mike Macnabb points out there are already natural parks within Greater Vernon. “It’s no different than Cools Pond in the BX. It’s fenced to keep people out and to allow the wildlife to do what wildlife does,” he said. “If it’s a natural park, we’re not doing any weeding or mowing and we let Mother Nature take care of it.” In response, Gavinchuk believes Cools Pond is not well used by the public. “At the end of June, there may be a school group in there to see a little frog jump around,” he said.
Attempts will be made to keep the Greater Vernon Dragon Boat Festival afloat. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee decided Thursday to meet with festival organizers to discuss outstanding concerns in Gyula Kiss the hope the event can return in 2011 after being cancelled for this year. “We would like to have them back,” said chairman Wayne Lippert. Festival officials have stated that a delayed contract for use of Kal Beach and a lack of places to moor boats for practices resulted in few team registrations, while sponsorships also declined this year. Director Patrick Nicol hopes GVAC can take an active role in the event being scheduled for 2011. “It was a good spectator draw and a colourful addition to the tourism calendar,” he said. In previous years, the festival drew about 40 teams. However, not everyone is enthusiastic about the festival. Director Gyula Kiss says some residents in the immediate neighbourhood have had issues with noise and traffic related to the event. “Residents won’t mind if it doesn’t come back,” he said. “I am not encouraging them to come back.”

NATALIA VIGNOLA/MORNING STAR
Evelyn Yates puts her ball on the green for the hole-in-one contest Saturday at the Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club. A total of 320 golfers participated in the event for Special Olympics and Venture Training.
A robbery spree in the North Okanagan-Shuswap has led to jail time. Monir Alejandro Leila, 34, was sentenced to six years in jail during an appearance in Salmon Arm provincial court Tuesday. He had pled guilty to charges related to robberies at three financial institutions. Besides the jail time, the Salmon Arm man has been given a lifetime firearms ban. The charges included robbery, possession of a loaded weapon and using a restricted weapon while committing a robbery. On May 15, the Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union’s Sorrento branch was robbed, while there were also incidents at the Enderby and District Credit Union May 21 and the Bank of Montreal in Enderby May 31. In all of the incidents, a lone man walked into the businesses, produced a note to a teller indicating he had a weapon and demanded cash. An undisclosed amount of money was taken from the financial institutions. Leila was arrested by RCMP officers without incident near a Salmon Arm child care centre shortly after the Bank of Montreal robbery. “The file was investigated by the rural general unit based out of Vernon,� said Gord Molendyk, with the RCMP. “And the individual was arrested by the two officers out of Vernon.�

However, NORD staff and some politicians expressed concern that the board would enter into negotiations with Vernon after a request for proposals and a preferred contractor had been recommended. “The RFP process must be followed and it’s a legal process we must follow,� said Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director. A staff report states that a Fraser Valley dispatch service would result in savings of about $46,000 annually compared to the current budget and $83,688 compared to the Vernon model. “I’d rather the function was local but I trust staff when they say Fraser Valley can provide the service as good as it can be done locally and for less money,� said John

Horse racing returns to Kin Morning Star Staff
A 117-year-old tradition will be charging out of the gates for another season. Vernon Race Days will be held Sunday, as well as July 18 and 25 at Kin Race Track on 43rd Avenue. “The Okanagan Equestrian Society hopes to build on the success of the past few years, which has seen a steady increase in the size of crowds and in the amount of money bet,” said Ed Woolley, society president. Gates open to the public at noon on each race date, with the parade to the post for the first race at 1:15 p.m. “There are six races scheduled for each race
MORNING STAR FILE PHOTO
Training is underway for Vernon Race Days, which runs Sunday, as well as July 18 and 25. day, with the premier race being the Vernon Cup,” said Woolley. “Pari-mutuel betting will be available on site, as well as food vendors
and a beverage garden.” Kin Race Track has been open for training every day since March, with a number of racing horses taking up resi-
dence there. “The society encourages the public to drop by in the mornings to watch the racehorses be put through their paces,” said Woolley. Races have been held on the site since about 1890. The Vernon Jockey Club, of which the society is the sole shareholder, was incorporated in 1893 and has hosted races on the site every year since then. But while there is excitement about Race Days, Woolley admits the society is also focused on ongoing legal action with the North Okanagan Regional District and the City of Vernon. NORD, which owns the property with the
City of Vernon, has issued the society an eviction notice for later this year. The society is seeking an injunction but a court date won’t occur until spring. “Beyond the obvious aggravation to our board members who have devoted a lot of time and energy into the fight for the track, it is also having a negative effect with regards to sponsorships,” said Woolley. “Hopefully it won’t have an impact on attendance as this is when we need the community’s support the most. If the city and the regional district are successful, this could be the last year of racing at the track.”
Middleton switched to Duteau Creek water RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Residents on the Coldstream side of Middleton Mountain have switched water sources again. As a result of warm weather placing demands on the system, customers that were temporarily switched to the Kalamalka Lake source last fall are now being returned to the Duteau Creek source. “Historically the area has been on Duteau,” said Arnold Badke,
the North Okanagan Regional District’s engineering general manager. Officials say the system on the Coldstream portion of Middleton was never designed to handle the Kal Lake source permanently and current weather trends are making that apparent. “The heat has driven the irrigation process and we are finding it difficult to keep up,” said Al Cotsworth, utility manager.
Middleton Mountain customers were switched to the Kal Lake source in November as part of the construction of a new treatment plant on Duteau Creek. “In mid to late September, the plant will come on and I see that area staying on the Duteau source indefinitely but it’s possible we could switch again if issues arose in the future,” said Cotsworth. As a result of the switch to the Duteau Creek source,

It may look like a holiday trailer on the outside, but the RCMP’s command unit means that enforcement can be taken on the road.

The interior includes surveillance cameras and a large map table. “The queen bed was torn out and the area was installed for a computer station,” said Staff-Sgt. Len Carlson.
A golf-style cart can also be parked inside the command unit. The vehicle and equipment were purchased by the City of Vernon for $42,200 and Coun. Patrick Nicol believes it can be critical when police need to administer large events. “It has a great benefit to the community,” he
said. “We know we will have emergencies coming down the road.” But the command unit has also played a role in trying to deter crime as it can be parked in high-crime areas. “It provides a piece of deterrent by being in a hot spot,” said Burgess.

Greater Vernon residents are being urged to ease off the taps as the weather begins to sizzle. Temperatures have soared into the mid-30s over the last few days and that has officials concerned about maintaining a sufficient water supply. “We want people to conserve where they can,” said Arnold Badke, engineering general manager with the North Okanagan Regional District. “If there is an increase in consumption, we could move to stage two restrictions.” Presently, Greater Vernon is on stage one restrictions and Badke expects it could stay that way if water supply doesn’t change dramatically. “If we see a great increase in consumption, we will be monitoring the situation,” he said. Under stage one, residential customers with even-numbered addresses can water on even-calendar days while those with odd-numbered addresses can irrigate on odd-calendar days. Manual sprinkling is allowed between 6 and 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. and midnight, and automatic (timer) sprinklers can water between midnight and 6 a.m. Watering with watering cans, hand-held hoses with a spring-loaded shut-off nozzle or drip systems is allowed any day between 6 and 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. and midnight.

— Arnold Badke tomers, the utility is also concerned about agricultural operations. “They are our biggest consumers and we will be watching that sector,” said Badke. Presently, the Duteau Creek upland reservoirs are at 97.5 per cent capacity. “We are virtually full,” said Badke. In April, NORD moved ahead with stage three water restrictions because of record low snowpack and reservoir levels at the time. However, the regulations were ultimately downgraded to stage two as the weather began to turn cool and wet, and that trend eventually led to stage one. Badke points out that the upland reservoirs have only completely filled once in the last four years. Conditions on Kalamalka Lake are also looking positive. “It’s up and there’s no problem with that,” said Badke.

The RCMP detachment has unveiled both a full-time enforcement unit for the downtown core and a dedicated municipal traffic unit. “We’re able to do it because the city has topped us up (financially) and we have the ability to staff the positions,” said Supt. Reg Burgess. “It’s tight to do it, but it’s an important and effective way to do it.” The downtown enforcement unit will consist of Constables Chuck Burns and Darren Swetlishoff, who will patrol on foot and use a motorized cart. “They will be a highvisibility, uniformed unit,” said Burgess.

The goal is for the unit to become yearround and Burgess believes it is necessary for officers to deal specifically with downtown. “Vernon is a growing

have to say I’m pretty darn impressed with my girlfriend these days. I’d tell her that more myself but it seems I rarely get to see her. Just three years ago, Terryn Thachuk could barely run a lap of our dog park without keeling over in exhaustion. Now she does half marathons and goes for early-morning swims for the fun of it. Well, maybe not so much for the fun of it – it’s all about training for the next race nowadays. Hence why I never see her. That’s not a complaint, that’s the reality of a dedicated athlete, especially one who runs her own business. It all began when she decided to enter a learn-to-run program through Greater Vernon Recreation, and she hasn’t broken stride since. Graeme Corbett Rod Rieu, a friend Terryn met in the program, said to her: “Me and my friend, Carly (Desnoyers), are going to train for a half marathon if you want to join us.” Terryn’s reply: “You have got to be kidding.” However, she started running with them, and they slowly built up their pace and endurance over a nine-month training regime, and Terryn and Carly (Rod was injured training) did indeed conquer the 2007 BMO Kelowna International Half Marathon (21.1 kilometres). Terryn was a respectable two hours, 23 minutes and 16 seconds. The duo kept up their Forrest Gump impression in 2008, running the Penticton’s Peach City Half (2:15:54) and the Kelowna half again (2:10:45). Having run a bit as a 20-something, I wheezed my way through the 10-km events of each of those races. As a Vancouver Island boy, I wasn’t really adapted to running in the Okanagan heat, and I really felt it in the Peach City race (it was pushing 30 degrees in May). I remember having to stop three times to walk, something I have never done before. It made me appreciate how hard these girls were training to post very respectable times in sweltering
AT RANDOM
heat over twice that distance. So what got her started in all this healthy living mumbo jumbo? Terryn lovingly blames our dog, London. “It’s because we got a dog that needed to run,” she says. Which is true. We used to spend hours walking London as a puppy in East Hill in the mornings, and she would never get tired. I think the poor pooch got more than she bargained for though, because she is now Terryn’s full-time triathlon training partner. Well, for the running bits at least. Sorry, did I say triathlon? Somewhere along the course of that last Kelowna half marathon, Terryn leaned over to Carly and said: “I’m switching to triathlon.” Carly, only momentarily phased, replied: “OK.” After a winter of training with whiz swim coaches Kim Young and Laura Medcalf, they entered their first-ever triathlon – the Kal RATS Sprint. They have since done a handful of sprints, plus an Olympic distance (750-m swim, 40-km bike, 10-km run) triathlon. So what’s next? A full marathon, declares Terryn. I made the mistake of suggesting doing a half again, with the goal of cracking the two-hour barrier. She looked at me like I was slightly demented. “Why would I want to do a half again? I’ve already done that. I already know I can do that. I want to do a full one.” Can’t argue with that logic. In fact, I’m going to be upping my own ante by running the half marathon (gotta see if my knee and the rest of my body will hold out before I attempt a full one). While most of my inspiration to get back into running can be directly attributed to what Terryn has accomplished, I also have to give credit to Christopher McDougall, whose book Born to Run has been a running revelation for both of us. If you’re into running, especially distance running, it is an intriguing story and a wealth of information (much of it flies in the face of conventional running wisdom), all in one.
In the wake of the tragic collision of a houseboat and speedboat on Shuswap Lake, many people are calling for change. They want more boat safety initiatives. They want more police to patrol the lakes. They want more regulations. And while we are not averse to more police enforcement efforts, which are woefully inadequate for a lake of this size, we do not think more regulations are the solution to prevent another accident. The regulations are already in place. What we really need is for people to follow them. What we really need is for people to use some solid, sober, common sense when driving their boats on Shuswap Lake. It will be weeks before reports can be compiled detailing the circumstances of this devastating collision and in the meantime rumours abound. Were boat lights on or off? Were drivers travelling at high speeds or in a reckless manner? Was alcohol a factor? Were the drivers properly licensed to be driving these vessels? These are all important questions that the public deserves to know. Maybe, in the knowing, people will also remember to conduct themselves in a cautious, controlled manner while enjoying the water. But we believe more regulations will do little to prevent tragedies such as this. What would do much more is for each and every boater on the lake to take their responsibilities seriously, to know and personally enforce safe boating practices, rather than letting the heat, the lure of vacation getaways, the drinks, or anything else cloud good judgement. — Salmon Arm Observer

A farmer's dilemma
T
he evolution of the farming business in B.C. has created a series of barriers which make it nearly impossible for anyone to survive financially as a farmer. The first major barrier was the wellmeaning creation of the Agricultural Land Reserve in B.C. The intent of the legislation was to preserve scarce, good agricultural land. We have about three per cent of our land rated as of agricultural value and the same low-lying, relatively level land that has some agricultural value, tends to be the same that humans want to develop and live on. So if you happen to farm that land it can be used for no other purpose, to protect if for future generations. This is a great thing for our society as a whole. The problem is that there is great cost to keeping the land as agricultural designation, since it is worth 10 or 20 times more for other uses. But, only one segment of society bears the cost of maintaining that land in its lowervalued state forever. That is the poor farmer who happens to own it, since there is no legislated social/financial policy designed to share that burden of diminished lifetime return. Some European countries recognize the value for the common benefit of all citizens of a countryside of preserved farmland and
EYE CARE Can you imagine, in the year 2010, we need charitable funding to provide up-to-date equipment for the Armstrong Eye Care Centre? If it were not so tragic, it would be almost laughable. Just a few short years ago, four eye specialists served the Vernon area and far beyond into the Kootenays...now there are just two. The Interior Health Authority and Health Minister George Abbott stood twiddling their thumbs and did not intervene to make sure new specialists came in to replace the two retiring doctors. I wonder why? In one case, a new specialist came in from Alberta, set up his practice and began seeing new patients but a short time later he disappeared without explanation... again, I wonder why? The state of eye care in the North Okanagan/Shuswap is so abysmal that if you need emergency eye care during the weekend,
a secure domestic food supply, and the whole society contributes financially through regulation and legislation to help maintain that benefit. We don't. We all benefit and the farmer pays the bill through lost-opportunity cost. That seems mightily unfair. Food is now below 10 per cent of the average North American household budget and is the lowest relative cost it has ever been in history. The cost of that has been borne by those in the farm sector. There has been a complete lack of longterm national plan to preserve and support agriculture. Responses have been piecemeal, responding with short-term handouts or support programs to avert disasters as they arise. Often these programs are ill thought
guess what? You might be told to drive to Kamloops. The IHA and the previous health minister have done nothing about this and the current minister spends most of his time parroting the party line and telling us what a great system we have. Where were our MLAs while this was going on? I think they were playing the three-monkey game. What do you think? Maurice F. Hesketh THE MISSION The Mission is the place that I go to when I want to talk to someone, if I have a problem or need something to eat, and when I have nothing in my house to eat. They serve breakfast, lunch and supper. During the day they are open to the public, so everyone may have a place to go; this place with a big room which can hold around 80 people. There is talking all the time in this place. At the Mission they set
Yet, they have been completely shut down by the requirements of the new legislation. One more opportunity for the enterprising farmer to supply a need and augment an income that is well below the Canadian average has been taken away, to solve a problem that doesn't seem to exist. By all means, make our food supply safer. The evidence is clear that better inspection of the major meat processors is what would do that, not the illdesigned provincial policy being enacted. I grew up in a farm community and paid for my first couple of years of medical school with good canola crop which sold then for about the same as it does now. My grandmother was disappointed when I told her I was quitting farming to become a doctor. But I could do basic math and could see no future in farming without the will of society to force legislators to forge good policy to enable good farmers, not lazy farmers, to survive financially, and provide a food production system and rural environment that we as a society want. That wasn't likely to happen and this latest B.C. government legislation is an example of a move in the exact reverse direction. The penalty for many farmers may be fatal. Rob Sawatzky
out and don't accomplish the intended goals. But even worse than a lack of political will and foresight to evolve a thoughtful, welldesigned public policy for farming and food production has been legislation and regulation that penalizes and discourages the few opportunities that innovative farmers have. The meat-processing regulations recently introduced by our provincial government are a classic example of that kind of bad policy. The intent was probably to make meat safer for the public. That's a laudable aim. However, one should look at evidence and efficacy when designing policy. The evidence of the past 25 years seems to be that the small farm-gate and community butchering enterprises are by far the safest.
up chairs and long tables that six people, at any time, can sit at. They have games like crib and board games. There is a kitchen that has four or five people that are working. There is a walk-in freezer. At the Mission, there are two or three people walking on the floor to make sure no one will start a fight or brings drug or alcohol into the building. When I first moved down here, I started to go and eat at the Mission. I was not too sure what this place was about, at that time. I thought it was for those in need, while who knew that I am one of those poor people? It came to me when I was living on my own. I have been living in Vernon for two or three years. I really like this place because it is clean, and the staff that works there are easy to approach and talk to. The colours in the room are peaceful. The staff who works there will help you with what they can. When I started to go to the
Mission, I met a really nice woman that worked there. Her name was Nicole, and it was nice to see a friendly face, the first time that I met Nicole, she came up to me and said,” Hello how can I help you?” That is when I found out how important this place can be. Nicole looked at me and asked me what was wrong. When she asked me what was wrong, I said “Nothing then she asked me if I would like talk to her. I said “Yes” I told her what happened. The best part was I was able to tell someone, and that made me feel better. Every day except Saturday, they make breakfast, lunch and, supper. Most of the people that work at the Mission do not get paid. I think there should be a mission in every town and city that work like the Mission in Vernon, which feeds the people in need and tries to get people what they may need to help. Glenn Shirey

New commander at cadet camp Morning Star Staff
The new commanding officer of the Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre brings more than 40 years of experience as a cadet and officer to the job. Lt.-Col. Lyle Johnson is also no stranger to Vernon. “I came here first in 1965 as a cadet and I have been here on different occasions over 11 different summers,” he said. “I have a lot of memories of this place, including a very clear recollection of being roused at 6 a.m. during my first summer by a piper parading through the barracks, waking us for morning PT.” Raised in Moose Jaw, where he currently resides, Johnson began his cadet career in 1964 as a member of 1856 Moose Jaw Schools Cadet Corps where he progressed from cadet to civilian instructor, to officer and now volunteer. His 26 years at the Banff/ Rocky national training centre are the most by any person and he is also the first course graduate to command that training centre. From 2004 to 2006, he was employed

Lt.-Col Lyle Johnson, left, leads his officers past the dais as he assumes command of Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre Thursday. at the Connaught National Cadet Training Centre in Ottawa, working in the army cadet marksmanship program culminating in his being the Commandant of the National Rifle Team in 2006. In 2007, he returned to the Vernon training centre as the deputy commanding officer, a
position he continued in 2008 and 2009. “I really like coming back to Vernon,” he said. “There’s a professional spirit here, which was promoted by former commanding officers like Terry Kopan and Allan Dengis. My challenge is to continue the outstanding leader-
ship of my predecessors.” Johnson, who is a teacher in civilian life, is also faced with the introduction of new training programs for younger cadets and a reorganization of the training centre. “We have fewer training companies, and with more cadets enrolled in three-week courses, we will have fewer cadets on the ground at any one time,” he said. VACSTC is currently gearing up for the arrival of more than 620 cadets who will be enrolled in 16 different courses. In total, more than 1,100 cadets will train this summer under the leadership of 104 staff cadets, and 100 officers and civilian instructors. Supporting the training are 81 civilian staff, most of whom live in the North Okanagan, including groundskeepers, bus drivers, laundry staff, firefighters, chaplains, life guards, canteen staff, warehouse staff and clerks. Feeding everyone is handled by CVC Services who will employ 80 cooks, servers and prep staff.
Financing firm for library branch RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Financing of a new Vernon library is now written in stone. North Okanagan Regional District directors adopted bylaws Wednesday that authorize $11 million to be borrowed on behalf of Okanagan Regional Library for construction of a 30,000-square-foot facility on 30th Avenue. “It’s long overdue,” said director Mike Macnabb, NORD’s representative to ORL. “It’s time to get the shovel in the ground.” Macnabb anticipates that construction could begin as early as this
“It’s time to get the shovel in the ground.” — Mike Macnabb fall after speaking to the company that will manage the project ORL asked the regional district to borrow the $11 million through the Municipal Finance Authority because of competitive interest rates (ORL cannot apply to MFA directly). “It’s the cheapest way of getting funding,” said
Macnabb. “Some projects have got funding on the open market and there have been increased costs because of interest rates.” ORL will repay the principal and pay the interest, fees and financing, and costsharing will be done by the entire library district, which covers from
Golden to Osoyoos and Princeton. The library board has already put aside some money for the project and it’s anticipated the additional annual capital and operating costs will be 50 cents to $1 per year for the average residence in the entire
ORL service region. NORD directors were able to adopt the borrowing bylaws after 314 people signed an alternate approval process. Borrowing would have been blocked if 10 per cent (6,355) of local voters had signed the petition.

Trio throw hats in Green ring Morning Star Staff
There are three potential candidates to represent the Green Party federally. Okanagan-Shuswap members will vote for their official candidate in Salmon Arm July 13 and in Vernon July 14. The three people interested in representing the party in the next election are Paul Noble, Erik Bjorgan and Jade St. Onge. Noble, 25, recently completed a political science degree at the University of Victoria, and has been accepted into UVic’s Masters program. He graduated from Salmon Arm Senior Secondary in 2003, and he has worked in pipeline construction in the oil and gas industry.
Bjorgan, 32, received his master of divinity degree in 2007, and was ordained at Deo Lutheran Church in Salmon Arm, where he continues to serve as pastor. He has served as a live-in assistant in a home for developmentally disabled adults in Saskatchewan and has taught English in Japan. Jade St. Onge, 44, has lived and worked throughout the Okanagan as the owner of a building maintenance company and manager of a large chain restaurant. He was born in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. and moved to Osoyoos at the age of 10. He graduated high school in 1984 and began by working in restaurants. The Vernon meeting will be at 7 p.m. at the Schubert Centre.

“The road was very narrow and covered with grass. It didn’t even look like it was a road,” said Molendyk. Molendyk “The road was also wet because it had rained. It could be the steepness of the road, the narrowness of the road and it being wet. I’m not sure of the condition of the tires.” The husband, who sustained some injuries, climbed up the embankment in an attempt to get help. The exact time of the accident is not known but the police became aware of the incident at 10:30 p.m.
“The road was very narrow.”
More details are known about a single-vehicle accident that claimed the life — Gord of a woman on the west side of Okanagan Lake. A 46-year-old resident from the Westside Road area died Sunday when a vehicle went off Six Mile Creek Road and down a 500-foot embankment. “We have determined that the husband was driving,” said Gord Molendyk, spokesman for the Vernon RCMP detachment. The woman was thrown out of the vehicle as it went down the embankment. The family has asked that the woman’s name not be released. Police officers and the coroner are still trying to determine the cause of the accident.

The possible abandonment of the Canadian Pacific railway line that runs from Armstrong to Sicamous has Spallumcheen worried. Mayor Will Hansma told council Monday it is important to make their interest and concern over the situation known. He is also requesting that the North Okanagan Regional District present a united front. “We need to stand together as communities up and down the valley,” he said. Will Hansma CP decided to discontinue the line back in August of 2009, and since no private buyers have come forward it has been offered to the government. The federal government has until July 19 to accept the offer. After that the offer will be extended to the provincial government who will have until Aug. 18 to accept or decline. Finally, if the provincial government passes, the offer will be extended for 30 days to the Township of Spallumcheen, the City of Armstrong, the City of Enderby and NORD. And should the line be purchased by any of the three levels of government, it would still require extensive upgrades. There is fear if no one purchases the line, it will be abandoned altogether, which will negatively impact the community and its economic activity. “We’re pretty concerned,” said Hansma. This does not mean that Spallumcheen is going to purchase it, said Hansma. But he does want it to remain a topic of discussion.

Local artist’s work swiped from Armstrong gallery BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
A brazen, broaddaylight act was responsible for the theft of a painting by a local artist from the Armstrong Art Gallery. A six-by-eight inch oil painting of a forest scene by North Okanagan painter Jerry Markham was swiped
from the gallery sometime Monday morning. It was valued at $550 and had just sold. “It’s very upsetting for the person that bought it,” said curator Sondra Haglund. “They won’t get it unless we recover it and I hope we do.” The painting was not displayed on the
wall but had been taken down and was sitting on a counter when it was stolen. It’s small size and relatively high value are likely reasons it was selected by the burglar. “I have a feeling it
was smaller so it was easy,” said Haglund, adding the painting has a wide frame around it making it larger but still capable of being concealed. Haglund said
Markham was shocked to learn his art had been stolen and hopes it can go to its rightful owner. She also said the gallery would be pleased to take the painting back no questions asked even
if it were mailed in. The gallery’s mailing address is Box 308, Armstrong, V0E 1B0. Anyone with information can call Armstrong RCMP at 250-546-3028 or the art
gallery at 250-546-8318. The gallery’s e-mail is asmas@telus.net. There was no video evidence of the crime but the art gallery is currently having a camera installed.

This oil painting by local artist Jerry Markham was stolen from the Armstrong Art Gallery sometime Monday morning.
Stolen liquor found Morning Star Staff
It didn’t take police long to find a suspect in a liquor theft. Shortly after midnight Thursday, officers were called to the 2900 block of 30th Avenue after receiving a report of a break and enter to a business. A window at the front of the business was broken and the door was then unlocked. “Liquor was the target of the thief,” said Gord Molendyk, with the Vernon RCMP. At 1 a.m., two officers noticed a man carrying a bag over his shoulder. “The 48-year-old male was checked and officers discovered a liquor bottle in one of his pockets,” said Molendyk. The man was arrested and more liquor bottles were found in the bag he was carrying. “Officers are continuing to investigate this file and see if there is a connection to other break and enters that have occurred in the downtown area over the past week or so,” said Molendyk.

Motorbike rally returning to Lumby after absence Morning Star Staff
It was a hot day in July of 2003 the last time the British Motorcycle Owners Club came to Lumby. But they are coming back again from July 22 through July 24 for the Norton Bike Rally. Lumby is one of the few locations that the club has decided to return to for their Norton rally. Highway 6 has always been a popular route for bikers. And the president of the International Norton Owners Association Suzi Greenway, said that it is one of the best roads she has ever seen. “I am sure that the town will give the Norton Rally a great Lumby welcome once again this year,� said Harvey Downes, one of the event organizers. The weekend will give the people of Lumby and the Interior an opportunity to view several bikes that have been out of production for decades. Bikes like Hi-Riders, Fastbacks and Roadsters will be there, as well as a Norton Commando that was only built from 1968 to 1976. Anyone who owns a British bike will get the opportunity to gain knowledge and purchase parts that may be needed to complete a dream bike. Activities are planned for the whole weekend. There will be a number of short rides on Thursday, and the Moment of Thunder Ride from Lumby to Silver Star on Friday at 9 a.m. Friday is also the night of the public dance sponsored by the Lumby Lions Club. The Kings Band will be performing, and bar service will
be provided. There is a beer garden on Saturday beginning at noon, and there will be field events and
motor bike games. There is also a “show and shine� where guests can talk to members from England, New
Zealand, Australia and the United States. “This is truly an international rally and is a great opportunity
for the people of Lumby and greater Vernon area to experience and enjoy such an event,� said Downes.
Tickets to Friday’s dance are $15 and are available at Valley First Credit Union and Insurance, Lumby IDA
Pharmacy, Tutor Tech and the Snack Shack. For more information go to www.bmoc. ca.

If necessary, Game 3 would go Monday (7:30 p.m.) at Wesbild. “We had a good start. The offence showed signs of rust, but they also showed some good things,” said Tigers’ head coach Bryan Klein. “We kind of fell asleep in the second.” Tigers’ captain Robbie Short, who had been stymied on several earlier breakaway attempts, netted the winner in the third period. Rookie Austin Lewarne provided the insurance goal, his first of the season, picking the top left corner on netminder Mark Larsen (44 saves). “It was awesome.

Turn-Key unlocks Dynamite Morning Star Staff
The Turn-Key Controls defeated Davidson & Co. Dynamite 5-3 in a sizzling North Okanagan Men's Soccer League game Wednesday night at Marshall Field #3. The Dynamite came out hard from the start, peppering Turn-Key keeper Preston Tucker, who was subbing for absent Spencer Brown and injured Jeremy Kler. Despite a couple of chances and early pressure by Davidson, it was Turn-Key who opened the scoring when Matt Wylie dug the ball up in a scramble near the 18-yard line and dished to Chris Jahnig, who rocketed one past Nitro keeper Ean Ross. Jesse Knight, with a shot from 15 yards out, responded for Davidson. The Vernon squads traded goals to finish the half, with Wylie scoring on a great individual effort, and Robert Ross, with a chip that seemed to take 53 years to go in the net, answering for the Dynamite, to make it 2-2 at halftime. The temperature cooled in the second half, but not the goal flurry. Jahnig put Turn-Key ahead 3-2 early in the half with a 20-yard bullet, while Justin Phillips converted a penalty shot to make it 4-2. Taylor Horsting added a late insurance marker on a wellplaced shot to the bottom corner for a three-goal lead. The Nitros' Tobias Siedmann converted a Robert Ross feed to close the offence. Ean Ross played a terrific game in net, with countless stops on breakaways by the speedy and youthful Control crew. Monashee Surveying of Vernon bowed 1-0 to Courvas of Salmon Arm at Marshall Field #2. Keeper Colin McDonnell made several tough saves for the Surveyors, who got solid showings from defenders Kevin Knopf and Ryan Sharp. Striker Cam Clary struck the crossbar in the first half. The other two league games were blowouts, with North Enderby Timber ambushing Concept Physio 9-0 at Marshall Field #4 and the Eagle Homes Nation of Domination stuffing Kal Sports Bar 14-1 in Salmon Arm. The NET defence contributed three goals on the night with Chris Pisesky starting the fireworks with a 30-yarder which fooled the keeper five-hole.

Turn-key Controls' Damien Leitner (left) lands back on the ground after going up for a header against Davidson Dynamite's Jesse Knight during men’s Wednesday-night soccer action at Marshall Field. The Controls iced the Nitros 5-3. Kyle Halvorson flicked on a Graham Ross corner in the 41st minute. Halvorson opened the second half by scoring five minutes in after a great solo run. Brent Poulsen, John Orton and Devin Janke then scored in a 10-minute span. Concept was looking a bit frustrated on their defensive line and took a selfish penalty against Sam Watson inside their 18 at the 72-minute mark. Keeper Danny Stein came up and buried the shot. Orton recorded his second of the night after undressing three Concept players and lofting a left-footed curler over
top of keeper Riley Spraggs. Pisesky then added his second in the 89th minute by rifling a shot from close to half that confused Spraggs and found its way to the back of the net off his fingertips. Eagle Homes NOD continued their good run of form by showing no mercy in a 14-1 spanking of expansion Kal Sports Bar boys. Leading the Nation of Domination were Brad Shields with a hat trick and Dave Knight, Brandon Ashworth and Josh Roy with two apiece. Shields was named Man of the Match even though he let in the only goal.
MacDonald shines in debut Continued from A23 Klein credited the Tigers for silencing the Rattlers’ big guns most of the night. “Our defensive game was really solid, and that’s what we’ll need to get through these series and back to provincials,” he said. “We don’t get on each other’s case, we just keep going. “We’ve got a very tough defence, and they’re clean. They’re big boys and they just take them to the floor.” In particular, Klein credited Webb for playing a smart, physical game. “He brought up the intensity when it needed to be, and he knew how to control it.” Cats’ keeper Josh Phillips recorded 34 saves for the win. In the other TOJLL semi, the host Kamloops Venom outlasted the
Kelowna Warriors 12-11 Monday night at Memorial Arena. The two teams squared off in Game 2 Thursday night in Kelowna. ■ Vernon’s Brodie MacDonald had a successful debut with the Coquitlam Adanacs Tuesday night, backstopping the league-champion A’s to a 15-7 win over the Nanaimo Timbermen in B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League play at the Coquitlam Sports Centre. After allowing a goal just two minutes into the game, the 6-foot7, 260-pound MacDonald settled down, posting a 25-save showing, and adding one assist. The Adanacs (19-1-1) brought in MacDonald, a Tiger grad, along with Nick Bilic and Riley Loewen, from the Burnaby Lakers at the June 30 BCJALL trade deadline. They are hosting the Minto Cup, Aug. 20-29.

Jacquie Hansen scored twice against her former team as Dr. Lee Dental/ Checkers defeated AF Blazers 4-1 in North Okanagan Women's Soccer Association Competitive Division play Tuesday night at Marshall Field #4. Becky Dodds opened the scoring in the fifth minute on a solo run, splitting the defence and sliding one into the corner of the net. Hansen scored the next two, one on a breakaway and the other off an Ally Dodds corner. Delinah Erbenich replied for the Blazers just before the half. Stephanie Wilson made it 4-1 early in the second half on a 30-yard looper that found the top shelf. The defensive line of Bobbi Cormier, Loren Brunelle, Kelsey Halvorson, Dana Reid and Irene Arrotta kept the speedy Blazer forwards at bay, while Lisa Arrotta made several key saves early as Checkers went to 8-2. The Blazers, who got a great game on defence from Jane Higgins, fell to 6-4. In other action, Emma Dolcetti scored twice as the Little Tex Outlaws settled for a 2-2 tie with host Salmon Arm TED United. Jessa Joles and Monica Neilson were stellar in the midfield, creating many scoring opportunities which the Little Tex offence could not capitalize on. Lyndsay Lee had a strong game, cutting off many United scoring opportunities. Gineil Ferrier was solid in net for the first-place Outlaws (9-1-1). United is 5-4-1. The North Enderby Timber Celtics battled hard for a 1-0 win over the Vernon Fusion at Marshall #5. The Celtics had countless chances but only Jodie Bariesheff found the net, scoring on a breakaway after an amazing flick from Carly Smith. Smith had one of her better games of the season, creating several chances by using her speed and sacrificing her body. Debbie Henderson was rock-solid on defence shutting down her share of the Fusion attack. "Rebbecca MacDonald may have been MVP, truly earning her shutout by showing great composure stopping a couple breakaways," said Celtic coach Graham Ross. In Masters Division play, the Okanagan Impact kept their undefeated streak alive by drawing 1-1 with Vernon Square Liquor Store North Okanagan United at Marshall Field #2. Kim Weibe of the Impact scored on an amazing strike from well outside the 18 after a long, fast burst down the wing. She buried a terrific long shot high and over the keeper into far corner.

Kimmy Cooper of NOU buried her own rebound after Wright made the first save in the first half. Keeper Lydia Harrison was the Victoria's Secret Lady of the Match for NOU with some fabulous saves and enormous World Cup-like goal kicks. The Vernon Chick Kickers and Goplen Drillers battled to a 2-2 draw at Marshall Field #1. The Kickers' Jen Sorochuk opened the scoring with the Drillers responding a few minutes later when Christine Castrucow threw the ball down the line for Glenda Hatten, who calmly carried the ball past two defenders and sent one of her trademark high shots to the far back corner of the net. The Chick Kickers ( 5-4-2) pulled ahead again in the second half with another shot by Sorochuk that fooled Drillers' keeper Shaun Nickoli and hooked into the far corner. Another Sorochuk attempt was deflected by a defender as she went for the hat trick. The Drillers (5-4-2) made several attempts on net, one of which was headed away from the net by Kickers' midfielder Kelly Challen in a brilliant defensive
play. The Kickers' defensive unit, headed by keeper Dawn Tucker and sweeper Colline Johnson, worked hard to hold back the Drillers' offence. The Drillers equalized late in the second half when midfielder Felicia O’Gorman sent in a powerful shot that went just wide of Tucker and forward Lena Urquart was on the spot to knock in the ball. The Drillers, with only one sub in the heat, worked well as a team and had many more opportunities, only to miss scoring by inches. Coach Janeece Millar praised the whole team for their good passing and communication. The Tillicum Controllers lost 5-2 to Salmon Arm Setters Pub at Marshall #3. The Controllers opened up the scoring early with a shot from Jacquie Nuyens, which was deflected by the keeper, allowing Krista Backer to scoop the rebound and the goal. The Controllers enjoyed several great chances in front of the Setters net with the second goal coming late in the second half off a great shot from Danielle Dunsmore. Midfielders Sena Bishop, Leslie Epp and Sara Glenn made some great plays to keep the ball moving forward. Setters improved to 8-1, while Tillicum fell to 4-5-2.

Police say patrols not cure-all for boating mishaps MARTHA WICKETT Black Press
A greater police presence on Shuswap Lake may be easier said than done and may not create the desired effect, say local police officers. The cause of Saturday’s fatal crash between a boat and a houseboat has not yet been determined but it has prompted citizens to call for more policing on the water. “It wouldn’t hurt to have a larger police presence on this lake,” said Columbia-Shuswap Regional District director Denis Delisle. “Our own police department, the numbers haven’t increased in a decade and the population has gone up 30 per cent.” He has received calls about boaters being inconsiderate and boating dangerously. “I’ve seen people drive down the lake at night, in the dark, no lights, going like a bat out of hell. I’ve seen boats going near the shore with kids swimming. I’ve seen near misses... I do hear a lot of crazy stories.” Delisle said he doesn’t think it would be too costly to add officers to patrol the lake. “I don’t think it’s necessarily all that much for communities around the lake to get a couple more policemen. And they don’t have to be here 24/7.” Sgt. Troy Beauregard, with the Chase RCMP, notes his detachment has just 10 officers. Water patrols are taken on as manpower allows. “We realize it’s an important issue but we can’t be out there all the time,” he said, pointing out the RCMP were on the lake the night before the crash. The Chase detachment has its own boat for patrols, as do Salmon Arm and Sicamous. Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane, of the Salmon Arm detachment, said when officers patrol the lake, they must generally do so after their regular hours. “There’s no way with current resources we can do boat patrols and maintain other resources,” he said, explaining
that he can’t order his officers to work overtime.
He said while enforcement plays a role, as does education, the lake is like
the highway. It’s a huge area to police and some people will behave dan-
gerously. “All the laws in the world won’t stop the
other guy from doing the wrong thing.” As of last September,
every boater must have a Pleasure Craft Operating Certificate.

Take steps to stop health risks from rising mercury Morning Star Staff
The Interior Health Authority wants to remind residents about the importance of being sun-smart and heat aware this summer. Excessive sun and heat exposure can lead to heat-related illness such as dehydration, sun stroke and heat exhaustion, and can also cause sun skin damage and sunburns. Here are some tips to help you enjoy the outdoors this summer: Never leave children alone in a parked car. Temperatures can rise to over 50 C (122 F) within 20 minutes in an enclosed vehicle when the outside temperature is 34 C (93 F). Leaving the car windows open will not keep the inside of the vehicle at a safe temperature. Pets should also not be left in a vehicle at any time. Drink plenty of fluids and don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink. Water is your best drink option. Avoid fluids that contain alcohol, caffeine or have a high sugar content. Protect yourself from the sun, stay in the shade and use sunscreen with SPF 15 or more. To keep cool on hot days, stay indoors in airconditioned facilities or visit an air-conditioned
location. At temperatures above 35 C, fans are not as effective at preventing heat-related illness. Limit daytime outdoor activity to early morning and late afternoon. Avoid tiring work or exercise in hot, humid environments. Wear lightweight, lightcoloured, loose-fitting clothing and a brimmed hat, or use an umbrella for shade. Check regularly on older people, and those who are unable to leave their homes, for signs of heat-related illness. Wear UVA/UVB protective sunglasses to help prevent damage to your eyes. Children under one should be kept out of the direct sun. Be sure to protect all children from the sun with the use of sunscreen. Heat stress, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke are all risks you can suffer from as the temperature rises. The effects of heat stress
include general weakness, tiredness, poor muscle control, and headache. Heat exhaustion may also include nausea, pale, cool and clammy skin, excessive sweating, rapid pulse and rapid shallow breathing and muscle cramps. Heat stroke, the next stage, can occur very quickly and without warning. Symptoms
of serious heat stroke include hot, dry, flushed skin, usually with no sweating, agitation and confusion, headache, nausea, and vomiting. Infants and children up to four years of age are at a higher risk for heat-related illness, because they do not lose heat quickly and do not sweat effectively. It is

important for adults to ensure that kids are kept cool and receive plenty of fluids. People over 65 are also at greater risk for heat-related illness, and during periods of high heat they should be checked on regularly. If you or someone
around you appears to be suffering from heatrelated illness: ■ Move to a cooler environment ■ Rest ■ Drink plenty of cool, non-alcoholic fluids ■ Take a cool shower
or bath ■ Wear light-weight clothing ■ Serious symptoms may require emergency services. For more information, visit HealthLink BC at www.healthlinkbc.ca or call 8-1-1.

Quilting world ‘captured’ in new book Morning Star Staff
It seems that Naomi Pearson can do just about anything — she's a musician, inspirational speaker, quilter, interior decorator, photographer and writer. "There are just so many interesting things to do but I don't do them all at one time. I try to keep a balance," she said with a smile. Recently retired to the westside of Vernon, she and her husband, Howard, are following their creative dreams. Music has always been a part of Pearson's life as her parents encouraged her talents as she was growing up in Kamloops. She attended Prairie Bible College in Alberta in a Christian education program that got her writing, particularly children's stories. She worked in a group foster home and was always happy to write songs and poems for friends on special occasions. "I never really thought of myself as an author. Then when I started quilting several years ago, I entered a world I hadn't known was there before. I found I was telling funny stories at coffee time and stories about the deeper meaning of quilting, the life transitions that are often marked with a gift of a quilt, the birth of a grandchild or a wedding," said Pearson, whose quilt art has been featured at Klondike Days in Edmonton. In 2005, she brought her poems and photographs of her own and other quilts together in a book, Peace by Piece. She and Howard made it part of a show of music and stories they do at quilters' conferences and retreats and found people were telling them how much they enjoyed the book for themselves and as a gift for quilting friends. "People would say, 'You've captured the quilting world, the heart of the quilter.' I learned so much
from quilters, from the encouraging friendship to the striving for excellence. Quilting crosses generations and it's popular with all ages around the world. Many people see it as fabric art rather than as a necessity as it was in older days." When Pearson submitted her book to a publisher for evaluation, she was told that she was in one of the hottest markets. Peace by Piece is being re-issued in an enhanced "petite coffee table book" format in the fall with more poems and photos. Pearson was invited to take the book to a book show case in New York in May where she was featured in a podcast and got to show her book to buyers from around the country. "There were 30,000 books in a five-block-long building but mine was one-of-a-kind. People said they loved the book. It was pretty exciting for two country bumpkins." Now she's eagerly awaiting the book's re-publication and the book tour of the U.S. while she and Howard perform at quilting events and she works for interior decoration clients at her new Pearson Studio. She's also working on her new series of books, Sew Blessed, and Free Indeed, the story of a quilter's journey through clinical depression. She speaks at women's retreats on her own experience of mental illness, what it was like growing up adopted and rebellious teenagers, as well as sharing her Christian faith. "The wonderful thing about being retired is that you get to choose what you do, to follow your interests where they lead and to have that time for friends and sailing and floating in the lake, and, of course, quilting," she said. For more information about Peace by Piece see www.naomipearson.ca.

Seaton student wins photo contest CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
CARA BRADY/MORNING STAR
Julia DeBoer was one of the national winners of the Robert Bateman Get to Know Your Wild Neighbours contest.
This is Kseniya...
Julia DeBoer was walking home from school one rainy afternoon when she noticed that the trail was covered with snails. To her naturephotographer's eye, it was a wonderful opportunity. "There were thousands of snails all over. I went home to get my camera and took a whole bunch of pictures. I love it. You can capture a moment and keep it forever without harming anything," said the 14-year-old Seaton school Grade 9 student. Her snail photo was a winner in the Robert Bateman
Get to Know Your Wild Neighbours contest, a national contest which encourages young people to experience nature creatively through art, photography and writing. DeBoer, who started taking pictures of butterflies in her mother's flower garden when she was nine, was also a winner in last year's photo contest with a picture of a water lily. The prize was a trip to Jasper National Park for a week with the other national winners and workshops with professional instructors. "We all made friends there and we decided we would enter the contest again this
year and see if we could meet up again," she said. She will be meeting some of her friends at Waterton Glacier International Peace Park, for a week of outdoor activities and events hosted by Parks Canada, this year's prize. "It is inspiring to see so many young Canadians, who are entering the contest, are getting outside to observe their wild neighbours," said Bateman. "Every child's path to becoming a wise environmental student begins with exploring and discovering the natural world. Canadians
should be proud of the amazing talent of their young artists, writers and naturalists. I certainly am" DeBoer plans to keep her camera, a Nikon D 3000, handy to capture nature photos and she's looking ahead to becoming a professional photographer. "People really do have an influence on nature and nature impacts our lives. I really like it. One day it might not all be there to appreciate. I want to show nature and cultures through photographs and make people see the things around them differently," she said.
Looking for that extra little something?
Do you have a corner or even a room that needs something to make it special? Kseniya knows color-coordinating and home decor and she can help you make it come alive.

Local bargain shoppers have a new place to check out with the Venture Treasures Thrift Shop. The shop started after some successful garage sales sparked the idea for a store.

Ghost season opens Morning Star Staff
The Ghost Tours of Vernon roam the streets again this summer for four nights only July 12 to 15. Gabriel David Sumegi Newman the second, paranormal expert, entrepreneur and purveyor of medicinal remedies, was lured back to present his popular, humorous tours. "I thought I would take a break after six summers and visit ghost tours across the country, but no, I had no choice but to return for the only free evenings I have all summer," said Newman. "I love performing here but were I to do a full summer season again, I would have to raise my prices. I hate having to do it but this year is my transition year. Adult prices will be raised to $10 and under 12 is still $5. To prove I am not a money-grabbing miser, and to support my friends in the non-profit and charitable sector who have been devastated by drastic
provincial cuts and the recession, I am donating half of all ticket sales to a different charity every night of the tour." On Monday the money will go to the Friends of the Vernon museum, Tuesday to World Neighbours Canada, Wednesday to the Caravan Farm Theatre and Thursday to the Food Action Society. The Ghost Tours program is sponsored by the Greater Vernon Museum and Archives. Tours leave the Vernon museum at 9 p.m. This is an outdoor walking tour so dress appropriately. Thursday's tour will be a few minutes later as the Downtown Vernon Association concert will be on the steps of the museum until 9 p.m. No reservations are necessary except for private tours of 20 or more people. For more information contact Newman at 250-260-8757 or ghosttours@shaw.ca.

Wife of 18 years has had enough
D
ear Annie: My wife of 18 years left me. The day started out like any other. I got dressed for work, gave her a kiss on the lips and told her, “I love you. See you later.” She said, “Love you, too.” When I got home, I discovered that she had taken all of her things, plus a few of mine and both of our dogs. She didn’t give a reason. She only left a short note saying, “I have to get away. I can’t take anymore.” She has been gone almost a week, and I haven’t heard a word. I know she was a bit depressed after a coworker accidentally totaled her car. We work in the same office and were around each other 24/7. We did everything together. We had arguments like any other married couple, but I didn’t think any of them were serious. The last one was two weeks ago, but we made up, and I thought we both had gotten over it.

She asked if she was too old to change, and her counselor replied, “Is your heart still beating?” Her story hit me right in my middle. I am 67. I have had three back surgeries and will always have physical limitations. I also live with chronic depression and am overweight. It seems like I have struggled with one or all of these conditions my entire life. As I get older, I am more and more weary. I have a psychiatrist, a therapist, a good back doctor and the best primary care doctor. And I have asked each of them whether there is any use in thinking I can improve my condition. They all gave me positive answers, but “Elaine’s” letter rang a new bell. Even when some parts
are broken, there are parts that still work. Here is one of my favourite quotes for lifting the spirits, from Leonard Cohen: “Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in everything, That’s how the light gets in.” — Ellen in Florida Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

PUZZLE NO. 203
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could find yourself experiencing some beneficial changes in your material affairs. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to be alert and on your toes, however, because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to come from unfamiliar sources.
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.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) When somebody is trying to sell you something or convince you to engage in a particular activity, remember, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the one in the catbird seat, not the promoter. Bargain for terms you want. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a strong chance you could meet someone with whom youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be establishing a close relationship. Each will be impressed with the other, and shares much in common.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Everything you experience is likely to seem far more exciting and interesting than usual, making you more experimental. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have fun trying out new things or being with new people.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Be logical about what you think or do, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to listen to your instincts as well. Your perceptions or intuitive insights are likely to be accurate forces just now.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be the first to hear about some very interesting or even juicy information, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll enjoy sharing it with everybody else. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make for a very interesting day.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Spontaneous involvements that occur at this time could turn out to be the most productive or fun things to do, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t schedule yourself with something you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get out of.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Although it is your nature to always want to weigh and balance information before acting on it, the speed with which you decide certain issues will have a strong influence on their good outcome. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Your ingenuity and resourcefulness will greatly speed up decisions on important issues, because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to think things through very quickly. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Because your words seem to carry so much more weight than usual, you may have to be careful about what comes out of your mouth. Fortunately, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be quick with your thoughts. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Everything is likely to make a quick turnabout, and a matter that has caused you concern looks like it will work out advantageously, instead of being troublesome as you had envisioned. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Even if you can function quite well acting on your own, you could be twice as effective working with a capable partner for a common cause. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to join up with a buddy.

HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot ďŹ&#x201A;ashes 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
Bridge by Phillip Alder Roger Waters of Pink Floyd wrote a song called “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun.” If he were a bridge player, it would have been “set the controls for the heart of the contract,” despite its not having quite the same ring. Who has his hands on the controls of today’s deal, the declarer or the defense? South is in four spades, and West leads the diamond king. If you play two-overone game-forcing with a one-no-trump response forcing for one round, you may respond one no-trump with three-card spade support, but should do it only with a very weak responding hand -say, 5-7 high-card points.
South seems to have only three losers: two diamonds and one club. Without the diamond lead, he has 11 tricks: five spades, three hearts and three clubs. However, if East grabs the controls, he can defeat the contract (assuming South has at least two cards in each minor suit). East should overtake the diamond king with his ace, cash the club ace, and return the diamond five. West will win with his queen and give East a club ruff for down one. It should not matter which diamond East leads at trick three (why would he overtake at trick one to cash the club ace if that were not a singleton?), but sending
partner a confirmatory suit-preference signal is a good idea. East leads his lowest diamond because he wants West to return the lower-ranking of the other two side-suits: clubs, not hearts. If West fails to give East that club ruff at trick four, East would probably lose control.

News Permit needed for body armour

Canada’s first restrictions on sale and possession of soft body armour have taken effect in B.C., and two other provinces are also trying to deprive gang members of one of their status symbols. B.C. passed laws last fall to require a permit to buy body armour, and those who currently own or sell it, have six months from July 1 to pass a criminal record check. Police can now confiscate body armour from those who are without a permit or exemption. Alberta passed legislation this spring to create similar restrictions and Manitoba has followed. Critics in Alberta compared the permit plan with the federal government’s costly long-gun registry, and security experts noted that body armour can be bought from the U.S. or overseas through websites. B.C. law exempts police, sheriffs, corrections and conservation officers, armoured car guards, security guards, security consultants and private investigators. Out-of-province individuals who require body armour to work have to apply for a 90-day permit exemption. Vancouver Police encountered people with body armour and no legitimate use for it 230 times between 2002 and 2009.

Fruit growers leader focuses on immediate needs KRISTI PATTON Black Press
Government investment into the tree fruit industry is good, but not enough to stop the current problems, according to the B.C. Fruit Growers Association president. Joe Sardinha says the federal and provincial injection of $5 million will help the industry for the future, but he has reminded officials there are problems right now. “What it means for the industry is that the government has listened to the case the industry put forward in terms of the financial hurt that happened,” said Sardinha. “I did make the point though that there is some grower disappointment out there that none of this will go into direct assistance, but in an indirect way it is still going to flow to growers.” Growers have been dealing with crop returns far below the cost of production, and right before the summer months Okanagan farmers were faced with the concern that a possible drought might restrict their irrigated water in certain districts. With so much rain as of late, Sardinha said growers are now hoping it dries up soon. “I think there has been some (cherry) splitting, but if the weather will dry up for us I am hoping there is going to be some strong cherry prices this year because I heard that Washington state has sustained considerable rain damage, and if there is a lower supply of cherries we should see a strengthening of prices this year,” he said. “Even the B.C. crop isn’t as heavy as it was last year so that should bode well for some nice size fruit.” The $5 million is expected to deliver results for farmers by helping to develop new marketing opportunities, infrastructure and further improve orchard pest management. Sardinha said many of the association growers are members of packing houses in the valley,
and some of the initiatives will help them find value-added methods to utilize culled cherries and apples, a benefit for
the long-term vision. Already some growers have started making fruit wines, liqueurs and gone into the apple
slice business that has become popular with fast-food chains as a healthy option. For now, growers
have to deal with crop returns far below the cost of production. “It’s nothing that makes an impact today
in a grower’s wallet but it seems to be where the government is most willing to lend their support in terms of bringing the
industry on a stronger footing for the future as opposed to addressing a short-term crisis,” said Sardinha.

Council waits to approve Fraser sockeye numbers JEFF NAGEL Black Press
An international body has held back on certifying Fraser River sockeye salmon as a sustainable seafood source in light of objections from environmental groups. The Marine Stewardship Council did give its green stamp of eco-approval this month to sockeye from the Skeena and Nass rivers and Barkley Sound. But a final decision on Fraser sockeye will
wait until an adjudicator considers opposing arguments from the Watershed Watch Salmon Society, David Suzuki Foundation and SkeenaWild Conservation Trust. Watershed Watch ecologist Aaron Hill said there’s still a real danger the Fraser sockeye could be certified as well, which he said would wrongly send the signal to international buyers that fisheries here are well run. No fishery has ever been denied certification after completing the MSC assessment process.
“It’s meaningless if you certify a fishery like the Fraser that is in absolute ruin,” Hill said. “It becomes fraud.” Eco-certification is potentially a valuable tool, he said, but granting it too early takes away the incentive to improve fishery management. The Cohen Commission will begin months of formal hearings this fall into the collapse of Fraser sockeye in recent years. More than 10 million Fraser sockeye were expected to return last year, but just 1.4 million
materialized. Some specific runs of Fraser sockeye are counted as endangered species. MSC says its eco-label tells buyers of certified B.C. salmon that it’s caught in a way that preserves stock health and does not harm the marine ecosystem. B.C. harvesters have found themselves increasingly at a disadvantage compared to producers in Alaska, where salmon has been MSC-certified for several years. Buyers increasingly insist on buying certified salmon.

Percy James Graves (AKA -PJ, Pop)
Mary E. Webb
Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to tell you a little bit about PJ. You see, he passed away after a brief battle with cancer on July 5th, 2010. But more importantly, we want share with you how he lived for the past 77 years. Fifty-four of those years, PJ spent with his wife, Lucille, whom he adored. He also loved his two daughters, Debbie Itterman (Sean) and Linda Graves (Lorraine). He was grandpa to Chris and Jeff Floresco and great grandpa to Brooklyn and Carter. PJ spent much of his life as an OfďŹ cer in the Canadian Armed Forces (Artillery) and ďŹ nished his working life in ďŹ ne fashion in the Canadian Public Service. In addition to his Public Service work, PJ was the commanding ofďŹ cer of the 26th Field Regiment Militia in Brandon, Man. as a Lt. Colonel. On his retirement in 1993, Lucille and PJ moved to Vernon. PJ volunteered at several elementary schools with One to One Reading; reading with children was one of the highlights of his week. He also enjoyed golďŹ ng at Spallmacheen with Lucille and friends during the summer. PJ never did get a hole in one, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think he did when Lucille got one; he was so proud of her! Last summer, he shot 80 and you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wipe the smile off his face. Lucille and PJ spent the last few winters on the high seas cruising all over the world with friends and family. He was a quick wit and a most excellent story teller especially if it was about an historical event. His eyes would twinkle and we would all be transported into the event in question wanting to know more. We also enjoyed playing Jeopardy with dad but he always knew the ďŹ nal jeopardy question. What will we remember most about our husband, dad, grandfather and great grandfather? How he lived his life - always acting with integrity, displaying an enormous amount of kindness and generosity toward others, relishing his hours with children and dogs, and treasuring time spent with the love of his life, Lucille, and his girls. We are very glad that so many people all over the world had the chance to get to meet PJ, to see him smile and to hear his laughter. How lucky we were to know him and feel his love. Thanks, PJ, Dad, Pop, for holding all of us on your shoulders and never letting us down. Now it is time for you to rest. At PJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request there will not be any formal memorial service. A gathering of family and friends to celebrate his life will be held at 5648 Allenby Cres on Saturday, July 17th between 2 and 4 p.m. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, a donation may be made to Junction Literacy (they sponsor the One to One Reading Program), 3104 37th Avenue, Vernon, BC, V1T 2Y2.

I was born on March 30th, 1944 in Calgary, AB and ended this part of life’s journey peacefully on the afternoon of July 4th, 2010 in Hospice House with my family at my side. My 66 years of life were filled with much activity and enjoyment. In my youth I enjoyed Ukrainian dancing. In the late 1960s I moved to Vancouver where I had two daughters and after our family moved to Cranbrook, I had a son. In 1990 I finally settled into my desired home of Vernon and remained here ever since. With my love of gardening and walking, I spent many happy years in Vernon surrounded by my family. I enjoyed many activities over the years such as bowling, sewing, playing the keyboard, dancing and skiing. During my later years I would simply enjoy sitting outside, watching the kids play and go to visit my friends on my scooter, especially when it meant a trip across the city. My children were my reason for my existence on the earth. Each one of you brought me happiness and I will always be with you. My children, Karen (Rick) Kurbis, Rebecca Walker and Jeremiah (Karina) Walker; grandchildren, Acaylia, Kloe and Kelias Kurbis; my sweet stepchildren who have been such a bonus in my life, Mitchell (Lala) Walker, Gwen Walker and Dee (Randy) Lennon; my brother, Richard (Shirley) Rogess; my nieces, Sandy (Murray) Finkbiner and Debbie (Scott) McNeil; and my nephew, David (Leslie) Rogess are all so precious to me. I loved my little companions who were with me through my life, those being my Yorkshire terrier, Susie, Hannah, Franklin, Braylorne and Timber. I leave behind my dearest friends, Donna Franz, Kathy Kiryna, Mary & Don Kurbis and the neighbor girls, Felicia, Madyson and Shannon. I will love all of you forever. My parents, Frank & Helen Rogess preceded me in death. I have requested that I be cremated and no funeral service held but those who wish to do so may send donations in my memory to the North Okanagan Hospice House, where they provide comfort, dignity and respect, or to the Community Care Nurse. The family wishes to extend thanks to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital nurses, the Community Care nurses, and the staff at Hospice House for their compassionate support and excellent care.
