No records melt away
HANGING AROUND
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
It’s felt like a scorcher outside, but that may have more to do with the dismal start to summer. Residents have been flocking to the beach and cranking up the air conditioning over the last few days, but no records have been shattered. “It seems like an absolute heat wave because of the weather we were receiving earlier,” said Terri Lang, Environment Canada senior meteorologist, of the rain and cool weather that dominated May, June and early July. It was 34.4 Celsius in Vernon on Thursday, surpassing the norm of 28. Kayla Pepper “It was pretty hot but it’s been hotter. We’ve been conditioned to putting a sweater on,” said Lang. The record for July 8 is 35 in 1918. The temperature was expected to reach 35 Friday but the record is 36.7 in 1905, while Environment Canada was calling for 33 Saturday (the record was set at 35.6 in 1926). Today, there should be a high of 33 and a low of 18. But the situation could start to evolve this week. “On Monday, there is a significant looking pressure system and that could bring in cooler temperatures and rain,” said Lang. Environment Canada is calling for a high of 30 Monday and 26 Tuesday. The wildfire risk is currently moderate in the North Okanagan but the warm weather could force that into a high rating. “It only takes two or three days for fine fuels to dry out,” said Kayla Pepper, an information officer with the B.C. Forest Service. “It’s crunchy out there and conditions have definitely changed.”

It’s anticipated that a suspect in a break and enter could face multiple charges. A 48-year-old male that was arrested Thursday after an incident at a downtown business has been remanded in custody. “He will appear in Vernon Provincial Court Monday to face charges of break and enter,” said Gord Molendyk, with the RCMP. “Police are still actively investigating the case and it is expected that the suspect could face as many as 10 counts of break and enter when he makes his appearance Monday morning.” Shortly after midnight Thursday, officers received a report of a break and enter at a business in the 2900 block of 30th Avenue. A window was smashed and liquor was taken from inside. At 1 a.m., the police came across a man carrying a bag over his shoulder. The suspect was found to be in possession of liquor.

The World RoboCup championships in Singapore in June brought a couple of important firsts for the RoboBros, also known as Hudson and Nelson Schier of Vernon. Competing in their second straight RoboCup, which is the largest annual robotics event in the world, the pair took home first place for costume design in the event’s dance division with their robot, Cotton Eye Joe 3.0. They also introduced the first laser robot the competition has ever seen. “There was kind of more entertainment value this year,� said Hudson, 12. “They definitely focused on humour this year,� said Verne, the boys’ father. “That’s something they noticed from last year that the judges liked.� Using the song by Swedish techno group Rednex that their robot is named after, Nelson and Hudson created a unique dance routine where their robot is programmed to move to the music dressed in Baby Gap overalls and a straw hat. The routine is viewable online at www. youtube.com by entering the search term “Robo Bros. 2010.� Nelson, who is going into Grade 6 at Silver Star Elementary, is more creatively inclined of the two and choreographed the performance while Hudson programmed all of the robots, and there were three of them in the show. Hudson, who just graduated from Harwood Elementary and will attend Clarence Fulton Secondary in the fall, said it’s not even close as to what the hardest part of it all is. “The building and programming because
trical. The outlets in Singapore put out a sizzling 240 volts, which is double those in North America. The result was three blown chargers, forcing the boys to save batteries for the competition and leaving no time to rehearse. Still, the brothers were asked to compete in a Super Team event which partnered kids from different countries together. The Schiers were the only Canadian team and paid their own way to get there unlike other teams that get government support and sponsorship. The language barrier was tough as Nelson and Hudson were paired with a Chinese team and a Singaporean team. “It kind of went better than I expected,� said Hudson. “It’s a whole bunch of robots doing a whole bunch of different things; it’s very random.� Verne and wife Rebecca, both teachers in Vernon, can’t help build the robots because they don’t know anything about them. They support their sons by getting them to events and helping with time management. They also buy new parts but only after the boys have explained why a new piece is necessary and promising to use it for that purpose. “It’s nice to see them excel and work together to achieve something,� said Verne. “They have their share of squabbles but they work together on this.� Now, with a title to defend, Hudson and Nelson will set to work creating an entirely new robot that will have to win the western Canadian championships this fall before they can go to the 2011 World RoboCup which is in Istanbul, Turkey.

CORD won’t back pit plans RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Opposition to a proposed gravel pit on the west side of Okanagan Lake has gained momentum. On Thursday, the Central Okanagan Regional District board decided not to support an application to the provincial government for a 22-hectare gravel extraction operation south of the Fintry delta. “Our whole community has been opposed to this,” said Allastair Fergusson, with the North Westside Ratepayers Jim Edgson Association. But while CORD is opposed, the government could still endorse the project proposed on Crown land by the Westbank First Nation and Canadian Aggregates. “We are only a referral agency and we don’t have any authority over it,” said Jim Edgson, North Westside electoral area director. “The unfortunate part is the province seems to go ahead any way.” The regional board believes the project should not be considered until the Central Okanagan aggregate pilot project is completed, the protection of environmental features is addressed and there is
a traffic impact assessment on Westside Road. If Victoria gives the green light, CORD wants a commitment that improvements will be made to the road, that there will be environmental and visual quality assessments and that a public meeting be held. The WFN and Canadian Aggregates are proposing an operation that would run six days a week and mine up to 249,000 tonnes of gravel a year for up to 50 years. It’s possible there could be up to 40 trucks a day along Westside Road. “We do not want a gravel pit,” said Fergusson, adding that the concerns revolve around traffic, the environment and the possible impact on the rural nature of the area. “We have taken an 800-page petition up to the Integrated Land Management Bureau in Kamloops and hopefully they will take the recommendation of the community that things be put on hold until the gravel extraction task force determines where such activities should occur.” The CORD board is also asking the Ministry of Transportation to hold a public meeting regarding conditions on Westside Road and possible improvements. “I’m not giving up on the road,” said Edgson. “There are no long-term plans to fix the road and it’s terrible.”

Don Raffan doesn’t consider his volunteer and charity work for groups like 4H, the Rotary Club, the food bank and the Haugen Centre medical facility anything out of the ordinary. That’s why he was stunned on Canada Day to learn he had been named Armstrong’s citizen of the year. His wife Diana got him to show up at the presentation ceremony by convincing him he was needed at Centennial Park to be in the dunk tank during the festivities. “I didn’t know what was going on,” said Raffan, 56. “Diana told me I was going to be in the dunk tank and I had my good clothes on but I figured I’d do my part.” The big surprise came when Raffan heard his name called for the award. Always modest, he was still pleased to accept. “I didn’t know they gave citizen of the year at that point (of the year),” said Raffan, who has lived in Armstrong since moving from Three Hills, Alta. when he was 10. “It’s a very humbling award; there’s far more people out there than me (but) it was really nice.” Ar m s t ro n g Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce president Sandra Starke conceded it was a tough choice this year with six candidates nominated. “Mr. Raffan has put a lot of effort into various

On Tuesday, the RCMP executed a search warrant in the 12700 block of Cliffshore Drive and found a sophisticated grow operation in the basement. “In addition to the plants, police seized more than $28,000 in cash and discovered a hydro electrical bypass used for stealing electricity,” said Cst. Steve Holmes, with the RCMP. Police did not find anyone inside the residence when it was searched. However, a 30-yearold man believed to be associated to the growop will face charges of production of a con-
trolled substance, possession for the purpose
of trafficking and theft of electricity.
professional staff making recommendations. Let’s trust our staff,” said director John Trainor. Greg Betts, the current administrator, cautioned that there will still be a role for the board to play in some cases. “If it affects the budget, I’d have to come back to the board,” he said of staffing policies. Besides Macnabb, opposition to limiting board involvement in human resources came from directors Doug Dirk and Mike Gavinchuk.

The way the ball bounces
N
ow that LeBron James has finally made up his mind we can get on with living large in the Okanagan. What’s that? Who is LeBron James you say? Well, he’s a very tall basketball player (like there’s any other kind) who has played for the Cleveland Cavaliers for the past seven years but became a free agent on July 1 and there were six NBA teams vying for the superstar’s talents. The NHL, or Canadian, equivalent would be if Sidney Crosby was in the same situation. Anyway it was such a buzz in the sports world in the States that they actually had a television special on ESPN featuring him making up his mind. Glenn Mitchell Yikes. Well the rest of the world is caught up in World Cup action, Stateside is all atwitter about where LeBron (he’s kind of one of those one-name guys, he’s that big) is going to sign on the dotted line. Whoah, we’re that starved for entertainment these days. Anyway, there was hardly any drama to begin with. Let’s see, his buddies Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade sign with Miami a couple days before and his choices are Cleveland, Chicago, New York, New Jersey, the Los Angeles Clippers, and, of course, the Heat? The only one with a chance of winning the championship in the foreseeable future is Miami and his two new bestest buddies just signed there, so, drum roll, please.... So now Toronto and Cleveland lose their superstars, again, and will consequently miss the playoffs while the Heat will play the Lakers in the finals and someone will lose, it’s too bad they both can’t. I understand there is real news value here, a comparable hat trick in hockey would be Crosby, Alexander Ovechkin and Shea Weber signing with the Leafs (except they’d still find a way to miss the playoffs), so it might signify a new era of players,
MITCHELL’S MUSINGS
rather than owners, getting together and forming potential championship teams on their own. Of course, even I know it takes more than three players to make a basketball team, let alone a championship team, but I’m sure Heat president Pat Riley has something in mind, even though the salary cap will tie his hands somewhat. And I do feel a bit sorry for a guy named Erik Spoelstra, he’s the Heat’s coach (and, yes, I did have to look up his name on the team’s website), cause the expectations will be huge and if Miami doesn’t win right out of the gate, he’ll be the victim for not creating the right ‘chemistry’ for the three amigos.... .....anyway enough about that sport and its drummed-up drama, apparently there’s a soccer game on today too. And there’s nothing manufactured or phoney about this match. Let’s see, there’s the Netherlands (or Holland, or the Dutch, or the Oranje, take your pick), who have been to the World Cup championship game twice and lost both times, and then there’s Spain, who have never been to the finals but came in highly ranked as European champions. So one of these teams will get a huge monkey off its back and will actually win a World Cup and their respective country, and everyone else on the planet with the remotest of ties to the country (I actually have a real live Dutch uncle and I’ve been to Mexico a couple times, where they speak Spanish, so I’m covered either way), will go nuts and celebrate for weeks and feel good about it for much longer and razz rival countries forever. The loser, well, will get another chance in four years if they qualify, or failing that, eight years, or may never get this close again... It’s safe to say there’s a bit of pressure involved. And it all could come down to a ball going off the post and into the net (there’s been a lot of those), or an own goal or, heaven forbid, penalty kicks after an 0-0 (or nil-nil) draw following extra time. It’s too much to take (and I don’t even really care who wins), especially after the LeBron thing already this week (ahem), so I may hit the beach and catch the replay after finding out who wins earlier (and it’s still tense). Anyway, enjoy.
The criminal justice system is often referred to as a revolving door. For repeat offenders, it’s an apt description. If they do get jail time, many are back in court shortly after getting out, and the cycle is repeated, much to the frustration of police, and the public. Behind the pattern is often usually a drug habit. A chronic shoplifter’s story, for example, is one that is shared by many other prolific offenders. They commit crimes such as break-ins and thefts, to feed an addiction. There may be other factors involved as well, such as peer pressure or mental health. While some would argue most prison sentences are too light, incarceration, regardless of length, does not address the root causes behind prolific criminal activity. In fact, sometimes it exacerbates the situation. That has been recognized by the RCMP, and other authorities, who are now focusing on a different strategy — one which identifies prolific offenders, and works to find ways to break the cycle, and rehabilitate the individuals. Obviously, that’s a major benefit to society — and the people who repeatedly offend — if they can be set on a crime-free path of life, rather than being a social burden on multiple levels, not the least of which include huge police, court and prison costs. Approximately 50 per cent of crime in B.C. is committed by only 10 per cent of offenders, according to recent crime statistics. Clearly, this is an issue that warrants acute police attention, but supported with strategies that work toward a long-term fix, instead of putting the problem through a revolving door. — Kelowna Capital News

It's called democracy
S
o, our MLA, Mr. Eric Foster, thinks that initiating a recall campaign against him is “bullying” does he? (“MLAs target of recall plans” June 25, The Morning Star). That’s odd; I thought that when a citizenry exercised its rights it was called democracy. I think the source of my confusion is that just over a year ago Mr. Foster indicated by his words and actions that he was pleased to accept the political judgement of his constituents as we elected him to be our representative in Victoria. Now though, when his constituents might be given the opportunity to use those same democratic rights to recall him it has suddenly become an example of “bully” tactics. What an interesting use of language. So if this is how language is going to be used in this new, post-HST era, perhaps it is
GREEN KITTY Three years ago when our son was about to turn four, he started making noise about wanting his own kitty. To play the safe card, we told him if he found a green kitty, he could have it with no questions asked. The challenge was on. He checked every pet store we'd let him in. Finally after a month or more, on his fourth birthday, he pointed to a small gray kitten. "There, Mommy...that's my Green Kitty." Fast forward to May 21, 7:30 a.m. Our neighbour came over, waking me up to ask if it was Green Kitty as she pointed to the road in front of our house. To the driver...did you see him? Were you speeding? Were you paying attention? After you hit him, did it ever occur to you to stop and remove him from the middle of the street? Thirty-fifth Avenue is a residential street. Yes, it is a quick access to Pleasant Valley Road, but it should not be a challenge to see how quickly you can get there. Our street has pets, the elderly and small children. Are you aware that 35th Avenue is a major part of the route to get to Beairsto Elementary School? The next time you drive our

street, slow down and pay attention. It may not be someone's pet next time. Instead of years of memories and companionship (Green liked to climb in the Lego bucket while our son created his masterpieces), our son will now at age six remember burying his first pet and making his first tombstone. T & K Schiewe COMMUTER TRAIN Recently, I thought one of your letters regarding the existing railway tracks and their usage was interesting and had some potential. Being a relative newcomer to this area, I thought some additional thoughts might be worthwhile to consider — or totally off the wall. The existing railway track is undoubtedly totally underused and it would be a shame to see its eventual demise. I wonder if a well-planned and well-operated commuter train would be feasible for daily commuters from Salmon Arm, Enderby and Vernon to Kelowna? It would require probably a half a dozen or more runs per day and some additional track to provide stops at the Kelowna university and the airport, as well as a couple

of stops in Kelowna ending at some point downtown. This might be financially feasible through both private and public funding. It doesn't have to be a super-duper rapid transit venture, just a nice, relaxing, dependable ride to and from Kelowna and points between. Of course this translates to less burden on highway maintenance as well as the ecology. This area is rapidly growing and might be very much appreciated as growth and usership increases in the future. Is this idea before its time — or worthy of consideration? George Nose GREAT CARE I was recently in the Vernon Jubilee Hospital for a minor day surgery and I would like to comment on my treatment. All the staff from Admitting, nurses, doctors, to the person who wheeled me out to the car when I was done treated me with great respect and professionalism, even giving me a heated blanket while I was waiting for my surgery. Even though staff must have been pressed for time since they had an emergency C-section, which had put them at least an hour and

a half behind schedule, they took the time to explain everything to me at every step of the way. We are very fortunate to have such great health professionals to look after our medical needs. Sharon Rauhala NOT GETTING IT On the front page of a recent Sunday paper, Mr. Eric Foster said he would not quit over the HST because, as he said "I believe we need to do it." Who cares what he believes? Apparently, Mr. Foster does not know that he works for the voters in Vernon/ Monashee. He thinks he works for the Liberal party of B.C. If he believes he and the Liberals are right, why is the message not getting through? I can't say whether the HST is good or not but what irks me is the misinformation the Liberals resort to, to push their agenda. I still remember the fiasco with the Coquihalla toll highway when they were going to try to give it to a private operator to keep collecting tolls in perpetuity. Everyone knew the tolls were supposed to end when the highway was paid for. This is just one example of
many. I think Mr. Foster has his allegiance all wrong and I hope that the voters who put him in office last time will remember that statement next election. Mr. Lekstrom gets it. A Langlois

Resident wants improved policy JESSICA SCHWITEK Morning Star Staff
Former mayor and Spallumcheen resident Geunter Rieger questioned procedural bylaw at the Township of Spallumcheen’s council meeting on Monday. Rieger was unhappy about a policy that requires citizens requesting to be delegates at council meetings to sign up on Tuesday, when the agenda is not released until Friday. Mayor Will Hansma explained that resolutions may not be ratified until two weeks later, therefore citizens still have two weeks to state any concerns. Concerns were also raised by council members regarding a woodlot in the northeastern part of Spallumcheen. Coun. Janice Brown pointed out that the town’s watershed is within the woodlot’s boundaries. And that type of industry taking place so close to the watershed makes her nervous. “All council can do is express concerns,” said Hansma. “We can’t tell them what to do.”

The next case of beer you buy may feature the design of Armstrong native Jen Crane. Crane, a graphic designer working at Vernon’s Sunshine Autographics, put in an entry to Kokanee’s Crank the Can contest last year. “It took me about an hour,” said Crane of designing a can that features a mountain biker flying over a crowd of people. “I actually designed 12, but I was only allowed to enter three of them.” The contest commemomorates Crankworx Mountainfest, a Kokaneesponsored mountain biking festival held at Whistler every August. People are asked to submit their designs on Facebook, and after the top six are chosen by Kokanee, people can then vote for their favourite. Three winners are chosen to have their design featured on a limited edition Kokanee can for the following year. The top six will win a VIP trip to Crankworx at Whistler again this year, as will the fan favourite, chosen by voters on Facebook. “There were over 100 applicants last year, I don’t know about this

John Griffiths says his 66th year of membership in the Royal Canadian Legion means as much to him as the first year. The Second World War veteran, who was a member of the Royal Canadian Army Corps, received his 65-year membership pin recently. Griffiths, 91, came to Canada from Wales when he was 11 and joined the army in Vernon in 1941. He served in England but was sent back to Canada in 1943 because he had contracted tuberculosis. "I spent a year in the Jubilee Hospital in Victoria and I think I took 5,000 pills that year but it saved my life," he recalled. He first met Legion members in 1945 when they helped him with his pension when he got married. "I realized I was with a group of people who thought more about other people than they did about themselves and that they made a great contribution to the community and I wanted to join them," he said. He served in various offices in the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 44 in Victoria and later became general manager of the TB Vets organization which raises money for charity by sell-

"The most unusual one we ever did was when someone who had lost keys in Switzerland while skiing had them found and returned through our organization. Even though it took three years, it worked its way back because of the tag," said Griffiths. He is proud that the organization donated more than
$2 million to B.C. hospitals and supported doctors specializing in studying lung disease by the time he retired in 1985. Donations in 2009 reached more than $10 million. He appreciates being able to help others through the Legion. "That happiness in a widow's face when you can help her get her pension is all the
reward you want. I think my service has been helpful and after 65 years, I'm still going to do as much as I can for as long as I can." He never misses a Remembrance Day ceremony. "The first time I stood at a cenotaph was in Wales when I was 10 with my father on a rainy day. I'll always remember those who didn't come back."

Find germ ‘hot spots’ in your home (NC)—We all try our best to maintain a clean, healthy living space for ourselves and our families. But there are many germs lingering around our homes that we could be missing. Of course it's impossible to avoid coming into contact with all germs and viruses but if you are aware of what is in your home, you have a better chance of defending against them. Here are some of the hot spots in your home you may not have considered: Hand towels In home bathrooms with heavy foot traffic, shared cloth towels are
often damp and germy due to overuse. Even if a towel looks clean, it may have viral, bacterial or fungal contaminants which can be transferred to hands when drying them. Health Canada recommends not using a common hand towel to dry hands. Instead, use a one-time use towel so you know you are getting a clean, fresh, dry towel every time. Pet food dishes Pets don't always practice good hygiene, and nor do we when it comes to their dishes. Pet bowls are often left unwashed for longer than they should be and as a result they
collect germs and bacteria. Be sure to wash Fido's dishes regularly to keep both pets and family members healthy. Light switches and door knobs Light sw itches (including lamp switches) and door knobs see a lot of hand traffic each day and that makes them a hot spot for germs. Cleaning them off regularly – once a week when people are healthy or daily if someone is ill - with antibacterial wipes or sprays will help keep the spread of germs down. Purses, briefcases
and backpacks When we are out and about we often place our bags on the floors of restaurants, offices and even public washrooms. By doing this our bags can pick up all kinds of germs and bacteria, so make sure you wipe off bags regularly to avoid tracking contaminants into the home. Salt, pepper and spices Most of us are good about making sure the utensils, cutting boards and plates we use when cooking are properly cleaned to avoid the spread of bacteria like salmonella. But what about
250-542-6068
spices, and salt and pepper shakers? Make sure whatever you touch when you are handling raw food gets a proper wipe down to avoid any unnecessary illness.

Shamrocks shimmy back into first Tigers surge in third to shade Rattlers Morning Star Staff
The Armstrong Shamrocks parlayed discipline, skill and a lot of hard work into an 8-7 win over the Kelowna Raiders Friday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre in Armstrong. It also put them back in first place in the Okanagan X-treme Lacrosse League. The ‘Rocks and Raiders share identical 7-4 records with one game left apiece, but the Shamrocks would win a tiebreaker having won the regular-season series 4-0. The Shamrocks, coached by Ken McGregor, were paced by hat tricks from Dan Giger and junior ‘Rocks grad Logan Strohm. The Irish pushed hard up and down the floor, using a stick skills and speed on offence, and a vicegrip defence to earn the win. The Raiders opened the scoring when Jared Neigum scored on a partial breakaway, but Armstrong responded with powerplay goals from Giger and Strohm. The Raiders came alive in the second period as Ryan Spring used his bullish size and impressive shot to penetrate the Rocks’ zone defence for a pair of goals. Jared MacLennan also slipped past the Shamrocks’ D twice, and Deryk McPhail used a quick stick release to beat Chad Pieper for the Raiders’ fifth goal of the period. The Shamrocks answered back as junior Shamrocks’ grad Dalaney Halifax scored on a crease pass, and Strohm scored on a partial breakaway. But with only six seconds remaining in the second, Halifax fired a laser pass across the floor to a leaping Strohm who, fully extended in midair, buried a gorgeous one-timer to make the score 6-5 Raiders after two periods. In the second intermission, McGregor stressed the importance of discipline, simple

Meanwhile, the Raiders seemed to self destruct, taking countless undisciplined penalties. The ‘Rocks simply walked away from the rough stuff and enjoyed their time with the man advantage. Giger, on a couple of gutsy rebounds, and Nathan Strohm, rifling a low shot on the pow-
erplay, made it 8-6 Armstrong. A defensive line change error allowed the Raiders’ Braden Renner to score with two minutes to play, but Pieper made a magnificent toe save on a partial breakaway with the Raiders’ net empty for an extra attacker. “We played with controlled aggression tonight, just on the line where we need to
be defensively,” said a jubilant McGregor. “Having the junior grads now a part of the team is a great touch, as they hustle for loose balls, forecheck and can pump the ball in the net too.” McGregor had high praise for his veterans: “I thought (Chad) Pounder and (Pat) Nelson were great tonight. They calmed things down and controlled the play, hustled for loosies and showed real leadership with their work ethic.” ■ The Vernon Tigers also earned a thrilling one-goal decision, icing the host Kamloops Rattlers 9-8 Friday night. The Cats (3-8), who have won two of their last three outings, came out strong for the first 10 minutes, taking an early lead on goals by Darcy Gordon and Jordie Schocter. They let up a bit later in the frame, and Kamloops (5-6) equalized on goals by A.J. Lockwood and Mark Jurista. Kamloops exploded for three quick goals in the second, but Vernon settled down, with Kirk Krause, Shane Sargent and Colby Field responding with singles. Vernon trailed 7-5 after 40 minutes. The third period saw things get a bit rougher with a bit of a scrap between Vernon’s Casey Sheriff and Kamloops’ Travis Joseph. The fight seemed to ignite Vernon, as they came back to tie the game, and with about four minutes left, Sargent came around a pick set by Krause and fired the winner. “Our defence and goalie Ivor Sandaker were able to hold off the comeback attempt by Kamloops,” said Tigers’ head coach James Hurst. “Kamloops pulled there goalie with 40 seconds remaining, but Sandaker came up big on a couple of quality last-second shots.” The Cats wrap up the regular season Thursday at Wesbild Centre against the Shamrocks. A win for Armstrong would guarantee first place and home-floor advantage in the playoffs.
Kozak swings berth in Canadian Junior tourney Morning Star Staff
Vernon's Conner Kozak will be playing a lot of prime golf tournaments this summer. Kozak, 17, shot a final-round 75 Friday to finish tied for fourth in the B.C. Junior Boys Championship at the Crown Isle Golf Club in Courtenay. The Grade 12 Seaton student earned a berth on the inter-provincial team for the Canadian Junior Boys Championship, Aug. 2-6, at the Richmond Golf & Country Club. Kozak recorded earlier rounds of 70-73-70 and ended up at 288, eight strokes back of winner Adam Svensson of Surrey. Svensson shot even-par 72 Friday. Runner-up Khaled Attieh of Delta, via Saudia Arabia, was six shots

back of Svenson. He didn't qualify for the provincial team so both Kozak and Cameron Davison of Duncan joined third-place Yohanna Vora of Delta on the B.C. team. Kozak also qualified for the Junior America's Cup, July 25-29, in Albuquerque, N.M. "Overall, my putting was very good this week," Kozak told The Morning Star. "I drove it really well and kept it in play. The experience of playing in two past B.C. juniors helped me feel really comfortable." Kozak receive a quota spot in the last year's Canadian Junior in Kitchener after finishing tied for 26th in the B.C. event. He missed the cut in his first B.C. Junior. "The course really set up well for me," said Kozak, who is coached by Sean Richardson of Predator Ridge. "I'm pretty
accurate off the tee and good with wedges. I was able to reach most of the par fives in two." Brady Stead of Predator went 77-79-81-78-315 to finish 68th in the field of 158. “I struggled with my putting this week but my long game kept my score down,” said Svensson. “I was hitting the fairways mostly and felt like I was hitting the ball really well. I had some difficulty today on 12 and 13 but I refocused and got it together.” In the girls division, also at Crown Isle, Jennifer Yang of Coquitlam carded a final-round 72 Friday to finish at 291, three strokes in front of three golfers. Emily Bardock of Armstrong went 79-84-84-78-325 to place 30th in a field of 47.

Sports Gators bury Dozers
World Cup fever burns bright
I
n case you haven't been paying attention, it's World Cup final Sunday. Which means either Spain or Holland will claim their first-ever World Cup title early this afternoon. And it also means we only have less than two hours of listening to the vuvuzelas left. Their unpleasant din has been the soundtrack of the South Africa tournament, but the vuvuzelas have had the whole planet talking soccer. Kevin Mitchell David Letterman made fun of the horns almost nightly. Most news agencies covering the World Cup have written stories on the noise makers. Actor John Goodman mentioned them on Letterman, and when Letterman said he had heard the buzzing during games, Goodman joked: "Oh good, so it's not just me." FIFA (International Association Football Federation) may not favour video replays to settle questionable goals, but they take their vuvuzelas seriously. Yep, blow them until the cows come home, but if one instrument is tossed on the field or used as a weapon, you lose your vuvuzela privileges. Hopefully, Spain wins 2-1 and I win Erick Burnet's Dutch soccer pool, and nobody gets hit by a vuvuzela. It's been a splendid month of soccer. For some pre-
BETWEEN THE LINES
dictions, please read on... Kala Polman-Tuin: "I fully support the Netherlands as I have dutch blood! Hup Holland Hup! My prediction is 2-1 Orange." Graeme Corbett: "The Dutch seem like such unlikely soccer players, but man are they fun to watch. Robben and Sneijder will jumpstart the Nederlands past Spain 2-1. Pancakes for everyone if they pull it off." (Lean) Lena Dean: "It's going to be Spain 2-1 in overtime. The Netherlands break down later defensively. Viva Spain!" Bill Graham: "Picked the Dutch from day one. Would seem silly to reverse now; it will be won in the midfield." Ryan Hulstein: "Netherlands. They're unbeaten so far and have shown character, patience and determination in their games. Sneijder and Robben are in good form and they have the grinders in de Jong, van Bommel and Kuyt. Definitely will be a close game but the Dutch will come out on top to win their first World Cup." Neil McPhie: "Definitely the Netherlands. They are just too strong with the likes of Johan Neeskens in midfield, Cruyff up front and Rudi Krol sweeping at the back. Oh crap, wrong cup...sorry. I meant to say Spain." Denise Bourdon-Connor: "Da Dutch!!!! Cause I look damn good in orange!!! Do I really need any other reason?! Ah, and it is the homeland of the in-laws....."
Morning Star Staff
Bob Oldfield: "Wow - intriguing! My original prediction was Spain and I see nothing to change that at the moment. They closed down the fast-paced German attack who I think sorely missed the suspended Muller. I just can't see Spain losing it. However, my family in the Netherlands might have something to say about that!" Conner Korberg: "Torres scores early and lifts Spain past the Oranje 3-1. Netherlands try to break through the Spain back line but are unsuccessful. Top goalie in the tourney = Win. The Dutch feel like it's the '70s... Spain celebrate their first World Cup!" Tim Penaluna: "It could go either way but the odds slightly favour the more skilled Spanish. If the ref clamps down on Van Bommel and De Jong the Spanish should have an easier time but their temperament might let them down at the final hurdle. Hopefully we have a good, open flowing game of football in which skills are allowed to flourish and the best team wins. I somehow doubt it. Holland 2-1 with Sneijder scoring the winner." Karen Forbes-Benn: "I am going to stand by my faithful orange and call it Netherlands 3-2." Al Bensmiller: "Spain is going to win 2-0. They just have too many good players and they will pressure Holland like they did to Germany. Holland's only chance is if they take it to Spain off the bat (which Germany should have done) and hope for an early goal."

Andy Waughman portrayed an easy-going, fun-seeking attitude as full-time technical director and head coach for the North Okanagan Youth Soccer Association (NOYSA) from 2002-2007. He lost a courageous threeand-a-half-year battle with cancer last Christmas Day at Hospice House. He was 50. “You can be six or 60 and still play soccer, that’s what I love about the game, it’s magic,” said Waughman, in an ‘02 interview with The Morning Star. Waughman's spirit will be celebrated Saturday, July 31 with the inaugural Andy Waughman Soccer Gala at Marshall Field. “Andy's favourite word of encouragement to the kids was a simple ‘Magic!’” said youth soccer administrator Marina Korberg. "To honour and remember Andy, we are having a fun-filled day of outdoor soccer games for adult and co-ed teams." Korberg said players are encouraged to dress in wild costumes and outdoor games will be followed indoors at the VantageOne Soccer Centre for a Wendy's-sponsored chili dinner, refreshments and skills competition.

Jenessa Moore of Vernon (right) controls the ball for Kelowna United in Under 21 girls soccer action against North Shore earlier this season. She is one of four Vernon players on the team. fire or shows good form in practice, she gets injured. When she gets the space and turns towards the goal, she's deadly. She can shoot and take passes; we just have to work on getting her that space." Tingstad is helping youth coaching director Wayne Aasen with the Okanagan zone U11-12 boys B.C. Summers Game team, and will help Aasen run some camps in August. "It's been a really fun season," said the 18-year-old Fulton grad. "We've got a really young team and I think a good season is in store for us next season." Mary Bennett, a 15-year-old sensation out of Kalamalka Secondary, has been scoring some big goals for United. "She's very smart on the ball and she knows to move it and she knows how to get the ball out of trouble," said Doherty. Said Prochazka: "She's the youngest on the team, but she is very mature for her age. I started her at right defender, but now she's at holding mid. She's one of the smartest thinkers on the field. She adapted quickly." Kelowna and TSS both exchanged sev-
eral solid shots on net in the first half Saturday. TSS came out with a fury in the second half and hit the same post three times within a 10-minute span. Kelowna United goalkeeper Zoe Walter (Kamloops) played superbly and denied TSS from a go-ahead goal on a couple of occasions. Kelowna counter-attacked wisely and should have scored from a Holly Grover breakaway, or from two corners kicks, but toward the last 15 minutes of the game, it was still a tie. At 78 minutes, Kelowna won the ball in the midfield and linked up with striker Kenzie Byrnes (West Kelowna), whose shot was surpassed in the goal by a 30-yard follow up run from United's leading goal scorer Bailey D'Amato (West Kelowna) for an easy tap-in. After the goal, TSS played a more direct soccer game which almost resulted in a few breakaways. TSS was, however, denied every time by a hard fighting defense anchored by Pernilla Erikson (Gotehnburg, Sweden) and Andrea Bergg. en français

They are out of the playoffs, but Kelowna United have hardly hung up their cleats. Bolstered by four Vernon youth products, United upset the first-place TSS Academy of Vancouver 1-0 last Saturday in Pacific Coast Soccer League Women's Reserve U-21 play. "The girls proved they can compete with the best teams in the league," said United head coach Jan Prochazka. "The entire team deserves credit with a mention of Jenessa Moore (Vernon), who added another stellar performance in midfield.” United, who are 2-7-4 and 10th in the 12-team circuit, closed out its home schedule Saturday with a game against Semiahmoo (0-8-4) at the UBCO turf. Paige Doherty, a VSS Panther grad headed to Southwestern Oklahoma State University Bulldogs on a soccer scholarship, has been a leader all season with United. "Paige has fast become one of my most influential players," said Prochazka, a Swedish product. "She is one of the team's captains and has really grown with the task. She always works as hard as she possibly can and looks after the rest of her team members. She has fantastic social skills to go along with her soccer skills." Doherty, who turns 18 next month, plays both midfield and striker. Moore plays either left defender or midfield and leads by example on the pitch. "She's a little fighter," said Prochazka. "She doesn't give up at all and has really become one of my players who has been playing the most minutes." Moore, who says she is "5-foot-one and a half," is in Richmond this weekend with Vernon United for the provincial U18 girls tournament. "I'm smaller so I have to work harder than everybody else," said Moore, who will enter Grade 12 at VSS this fall. "My game is my passing; that's my strength." Carli Tingstad rolled her ankle in warm up last Saturday, and has been somewhat hampered by injuries. She plays the midfield. "Unfortunately, every time she's on

Vernon clubs chase B.C. title Morning Star Staff
Vernon teams are enjoying success at the B.C. Soccer Association B Cup Championships in Richmond. The Vernon United Under 13 girls hammered the Prince George Kodiaks 4-0 Friday afternoon at Richmond High. Shelby Hughes missed a penalty five minutes into the game, as Vernon maintained possession in the opposing end from the outset. Prince George didn’t manage a single shot in the opening half, which ended scoreless. United started finding their touch in the second half, as Tamara Andronik buried an Erin Sakamoto corner in the 40th minute. Two minutes later, A.J. Jacura made it 2-0 on an unassisted strike. Sakamoto earned another assist on Andronik’s second goal with another corner in 67th minute. Jordan Korol scored on a goalmouth scramble on final play of the game. United, coached by John Hughes and Keith Hatten, opened play Thursday with a 1-1 draw with the Surrey FC Jaguars. Teigan Moore and Hannah Love showed great strength moving the ball out to wings Aryana
Jacura, Sakamoto and Riley Martian. This proved very successful as Andornik fed a through ball to Moore, who spotted Love waiting for the feed. Love connected with a beauty into the far post over the Surrey keeper. After exciting play by both teams, the Jaguars equalized. The heat was intense in the second half, with great defending by Tara Smith, Sarah Huber and Kendra Early. The U13 girls closed out preliminary play Saturday morning against Comox. The playoffs go today. Meanwhile, Maria Thorlakson collected the lone goal as Vernon United Under 17 girls fell 2-1 to the Penticton Pinnacles Friday in Richmond. Shelby Price did an excellent job covering Penticton’s top scorer, while keeper Dayna Epp was steady in net. United opened provincials with a 3-2 win over Comox Valley Thursday. Kirsten Dodds, who plays for the Okanagan Whitecaps U21 team, scored twice and Thorlakson added a single for Rick Price's gang. United faced the Richmond Rebels Saturday.
Chabot delivers Kal Tire winner Morning Star Staff
Midfielder Denis Chabot scored on a nice turnand-shoot play with 10 minutes remaining as Vernon Kal Tire clipped Penticton 3-2 in Okanagan Oldtimers 50+ Soccer League action Thursday night at scorching Beasley Park in Lake Country. Ken James, on a first-half penalty kick, and Ted Sheehan, on a sweet one-time volley after a cross from James, also scored for Kal Tire (9-21). Midfielder Jim Sparrow earned the Captain Morgan Man of the Match. In other action, Vernon Silver Stars brushed back Summerland 3-2 at Constable Neil Bruce
School in West Kelowna. Tim Penaluna scored twice and Bob Oldfield once as the Stars improved to 8-3-1. Rob Ross, foraging down the left wing, passed back to Penaluna, who nailed a 20-yarder that guest keeper Al Bensmiller got a hand on but couldn’t stop. Penaluna then beat Bensmiller with a 20-yard lob that the keeper again got his fingertips on. Oldfield, playing stopper, called for the ball as he ran through from central midfield and hammered a 22-yarder that Bensmiller yet again got his finger tips to, but the ball went just inside his right post.

Art show awakens the spirit CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
The Awakening the Spirit Art Show and Sale celebrates the creativity of people living with mental illness. It features 60 works of painting, photography, sculpture and drawing at the Coat Check Gallery at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre from Tuesday to Sept. 12. Wayne Pozdnikoff, whose painting, The Sprit Descending Like a Dove, was selected for the show's poster, will have his work in the
show for the first time this year. He has found that art has helped him through many difficult times in managing mental illness. "When I'm painting, I stop thinking about anything that's a problem in my life and just think about what I am painting," said the former chef, who started painting 19 years ago and taught himself as he went along. "I start with an idea and then off in other directions. I name the painting when it is finished. It's thrilling
when people like my art. It makes me feel great,” he said. “I hope that my art gives people a sense of hope and encouragement and might make even non-artists think about taking up some kind of art." Dianne Hustler is co-ordinator for the Mental Illness Family Support and Information Centre which co-sponsors the art show with the Canadian Mental Health Association and the support of the Vernon and District Performing Arts
Centre. "Many people may think that they are the only ones with mental illness but one in five Canadians will experience some kind of mental illness at some time in their lives so they are not alone,” she said. “A show like this helps increase awareness and decrease the stigma of mental illness. "We have always had a very positive response to the shows and many of the works sell while some people are inspired to do their
own art. It's a good way to relax, have fun, deal with stress and express your feelings," said Hustler. The seventh annual Awakening the Spirit Art Show and Sale is open to the public during performances and from 1 to 2:30 p.m. every Tuesday from July 20 to Sept. 12. The show can also be viewed by special arrangement. To make an appointment, call Sue at 250-542-3114.

Dragon boat team returns Morning Star Staff
The team came home with some awards, new friends and great memories. The International Dragon Boat Festival in Peterborough, Ont. attracted teams from across Canada, and around the world with more than 2,000 women showing they can overcome cancer to be strong in body and mind. "It was fabulous," said Jenny Drozda, a Vernon team member. "The town had a parade and all the teams walked in it with their banners and there were a lot of spectators out for the races. The first day there was thunder, lightning and rain but it was fine for the races." The Buoyant Buddies came in 21st for 74 teams and third of 25 teams in their class. With three new members this year, the team is looking at going to local festivals for the rest of the year. "We welcome new members at any time during the season. No experience necessary, none of us knew how to paddle when we first joined the team," said Drozda who first joined the team in 2003. "It's a good sport and it's good for your health and there's good camaraderie." For more information contact the captain, Gladys Ewanick at 545-5709.

On July 17, falconer Dennis Ingram will bring his working hawk and discuss how this special raptor is used to control the Canada geese population in Kelowna. And on July 18, Karen Beggs, from the KeeTwo Raptor Rehabilitation Centre in Salmon Arm, will present a slideshow on caring for injured birds. Also on July 18, ornithologist Chris Siddle will give a presentation on birding in the Okanagan, and will describe his upcoming programs.

enced volunteers, Peter and Hylda Mayfield. During the celebrations anniversary cake will be served and guests can view the new Birds of Prey exhibit and other interesting features at the centre. On July 1, 2000, the nature centre opened its doors to the public at the old weather station site on Commonage Road. The knoll was infested with knapweed and the buildings were badly vandalised, but a hardworking, dedicated volunteer crew, small staff and local businesses renovated the building and renewed the grounds using native plants. It has become an amazing grassland restoration showcase. The centre and its displays have won numerous awards. Ecosystem studies and restoration projects at Mud Lake, Rose’s Pond and BX Creek wetlands have contributed important educational opportunities and protection for Vernon’s natural areas. During the weekend, donations will be gratefully accepted for a gazebo cover that’s badly needed for protection from the sun, wind and rain. The ABNC’s Fly Into The Future 10th anniversary celebrations will take place from 9 a.m. to noon on July 17 and 18. Check out www.abnc.ca for details or call the centre at 250-260-4227.

Caravan enters seventh heaven KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Everything is going into Everyone. At least that’s the way Caravan Farm Theatre’s artistic director Estelle Shook sees it, and she hopes the audience sees it too when the farm’s grand outdoor production opens July 20. Two years in the making, Caravan’s opus Everyone, based on the medieval English morality play, Everyman, involves the culmination of seven B.C. theatre companies, a bevy of talent pooled from around the country, and, of course, horses. “This is adventure story telling. It’s an out-there show, but above all, it’s classic Caravan with music, comedy, horses and characters,” said Shook, who is also handling the reins as the show’s head director. “The show is normal in the sense that there are seven scenes with a beginning, middle and end. What’s different is each scene is written by a different company, but it has all been put through the Caravan filter.” As locals might recall, Caravan didn’t hold a major summer production last year due to concerns about the economic climate. Instead the farm hosted various weekend events, including a live play reading of the script written by the six independent Vancouver area theatre companies and Caravan, who have joined together to create Everyone. The writers, directors and designers reunited at the farm last month, and have now transferred their masterpiece over to Shook and her team of actors as well as composer/music director David Rhymer, set designer Catherine Hahn, costume designer Christine Reimer, lighting designer John Webber, and their respective crews, to lead the charge. “It’s coming together fantastically. The shape up has been fascinating,” said Shook. “We’re finishing up rehearsal and heading into tech week until it opens up to the audience July 20.” Describing Everyone as a mix between The Odyssey and a reality
CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR
Christine Reimer (above) puts some finishing touches on one of the many costumes being created for the upcoming Caravan Farm Theatre presentation of Everyone. John Webber works on a new lighting prototype (below, left) and Catherine Hahn works on the design for one of the sets. The musical comedy in seven horse-drawn acts opens July 20.
game show, Shook says the play is a true spectacle with humour, music, pathos and all the other elements that a Caravan show is known for. And just as it is at the farm, it’s a family –– and a few equine friends –– that really pull the story along. The play follows a family on a journey who encounter a number of challenges along the dusty trail
through life. “It represents mankind and his journey into heaven and all the provocations and worldly challenges, such as greed, lust and shame, that come along with it,” said Shook. “Each scene represents a challenge
that our family, mom dad and two kids, have to take on.” And that includes Vice and Virtue, and a handful of allegorical characters. The show includes alumni from Caravan’s last summer produc-
tion, 2008’s Mother Courage and Her Children, including actor Paul Braunstein, who takes on the role of the father/Everyman. Then there’s Rhymer, a nationally-known playwright/composer from Calgary, who wrote the music for Mother Courage and has returned to lead the live band in the 10 songs he has penned for Everyone. “Music is so important to a Caravan production and he’s a magician with the music. There’s everything from show-stopping tunes to heart-felt ballads,” said Shook. In the cast are Caravan faves Martin Julien (Cyrano of the Northwest) as Vice, a rather devilish character who is a mix between game show host Monty Hall and Jack Nicholson, Courtenay Dobbie (Joan Henry) as Virtue and David Petersen (A Christmas Carol) as Ancient Grandpa. Joining them are Deb Williams (co-creator/star of Mom’s The Word fame) as Mother, Kyle Cameron as Son, Evelyn Chew as Daughter, and Nicola Nicol and Truman Julien as the Demon Dancers. “We have one climactic scene when the family encounters Vice, and takes part in a game show called Killing Conundrum,” said Shook, hinting the audience gets to take part. Also playing a big part is Caravan’s trusty team of steeds. And not unlike the Blue Horse from 2007’s summer production, another magical creature will make an appearance. “This is a horse-heavy show,” said Shook. “Each set will be brought in by the horses and they are in the entire scene until they take the set away... There’s also a climax where an angel arrives on a unicorn, which is for the little girl in all of us. And there’s another surprise at the end.” Audiences can get on board for Everyone July 20 until Aug. 22. Shows run nightly at 7:30 p.m., except Mondays, rain or shine at Caravan, located on Salmon River Road outside of Armstrong. For tickets call Ticket Seller at 549-7469 or reserve online at www.ticketseller.ca.

I
didn’t know what to expect from M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender. This is, after all, a liveaction adaptation of a cartoon –– one that, while I understand does have a relatively healthy fan base, isn’t an exceptionally well known commodity. And on top of that, ol’ M isn’t into recycling. He’s used to making his own stuff, which started out well (The Sixth Sense was great, Unbreakable was good, Signs underneath the ice of the worked, and uh... um... gosh, Jason Armstrong northern territory by Katara The Sixth Sense was great.)

The Choir of Santa Teresa College Cherubim in The Philippines joins two other choirs at Trinity United Church in Vernon Tuesday. The groups are here as part of an international choral festival that takes place in Powell River every two years.
International choral groups are coming from festival in Powell River Morning Star Staff
Voices from around the world will be raised on high when the International Choral Concert takes place at Vernon’s Trinity United Church Tuesday. Three choirs will be part of the affair that has been organized by local chorister Paul Hunter for the past 18 years. “I’m really excited to be hosting this concert again as these are incredible choirs who will perform a wide variety of styles that will suit all choral tastes,” he said. “This is the choral concert of the summer that no one should miss.” The choirs are coming from performing at the Powell River Choral Kathaumixw (pronounced Ka-thoumew), which is the Coast Salish word for “a gathering of different peoples.” Since 1984, approximately 1,200 singers have gathered from around the globe to share their music, cus-
toms, language, and culture at the festival, which takes place every other summer in the coastal B.C. city. This year’s choirs that are coming to Vernon from the festival include Les Jeunes Chanteurs d’Acadie, who hail from New Brunswick. The group continues to spread its “joie de vivre” by singing songs from the traditional Acadian repertoire as well as multilingual pieces that include religious, classical and contemporary compositions. The singers from the Choir of Santa Teresa College Cherubim in
The Philippines are said to be performers in every sense of the word. Members strive to maintain a distinctive style, sincerity and character, qualities that make the group one of the most enduring and highest ranking youth choirs and artists in the Philippines. Aurora (the Young Adelaide Voices) from Adelaide, Australia performs challenging music from Australiancomposed works to contemporary classical to pop, folk and early music. The International Choral Concert takes place Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Trinity United Church, 3300 Alexis Park Dr. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the door.

Capsule Comments with
SUSAN CARRIE Just a reminder that if you are taking medications to control your allergy symptoms, try not to miss doses, especially if your allergy season lasts weeks or months. The effectiveness of the allergy pill depends on the level circulating in the bloodstream. Most allergy medications last 12 to 24 hours then need to be repeated to keep blood levels up and allergy symptoms down. It has been found that a diet low in meat and high in vegetables may lower the risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease. This has been called the Mediterranean diet and includes olive as the main source of fat, fish and “a little wine”. Regular vigorous exercise is also an important feature in reducing Alzheimer’s risk. Many people take a multi-vitamin pill every day and some may not need it. But there are certain persons that do. These include dieters, strict vegetarians, women who are pregnant or are trying to become pregnant, those with intestinal conditions that impair the absorption of nutrients and finally people who have very poor diets or don’t eat enough. The elderly are included in this group. Don’t forget to protect your eyes from the sun’s rays. It is the UVB rays that can cause cataracts in the eyes. A cataract is a condition in which the lens of the eye becomes cloudy. Use sunglasses when out in the sun for any length of time. This is also important for children who have a lifetime of sun exposure ahead of them. The members of our staff are our greatest asset in our pharmacy. Let one of them serve you soon!

Lots to see/hear downtown Morning Star Staff
The Downtown Vernon Association’s summer entertainment series has begun with this week’s Tuesdays in the Trees and Civic Sounds pulling in the crowds. Many turned up to support local youth from the Our Kids Have Talent competition, who performed under the trees in Cenotaph Park Tuesday, and the alternative/folk/country sounds of Willy Blizzard, who entertained those who came to seek shade under the trees in the Civic Plaza Thursday, said DVA events coordinator Holly Schmidt. “The summer concert series is already living up to its reputation as a great way to bring the community together and to enjoy some quality live entertainment for free,” said Schmidt. “It’s really great to see the people who just love these concerts, tell all of their friends about them and come back every week.” Free concerts will continue to run every Tuesday over lunch hour from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Cenotaph Park and every Thursday in the Civic Plaza
in front of the Vernon library/museum from 7 to 9 p.m. The Tuesday in the Trees lineup includes Kiki the Eco Elf (children’s educational musical performance) this Tuesday; John Spearn (Canadian roots, folk, Celtic music) July 20; Jodi Faith (singer/songwriter) July 27; Darrel & Saskia (folk music) Aug. 3; Nuna’Y (traditional Bolivian and South American sounds) Aug. 10; Crystal Star (family entertainment) Aug. 17 and Kevin Kienlein (family variety musical performance) Aug. 24.

Gains should follow HST pain TOM FLETCHER Black Press
The adoption of the harmonized sales tax creates a permanent increase in consumer prices and a temporary dip in affected bigticket purchases such as new homes, according to a new study put out by TD Bank economists. The benefits of the HST will be felt over the longer term as business investment raises worker productivity and increases the overall standard of living, the bank says in a special report released Tuesday. The average household will see increased prices on about 17 per cent of its purchases with the introduction of the HST on July 1, the report says. The introduction of the HST in B.C. and Ontario created a surge in purchases to avoid the seven per cent increase in tax on new homes, renovations and services such as hair care, and the bank expects a corresponding dip in those areas from now to late in 2010. The report projects that housing will feel a more severe effect from the HST than other areas of the economy. HST applies to the purchase of new homes, but not resale properties that form the bulk of the real estate market. The B.C. government provides a rebate on the provincial portion for new homes valued at up to $525,000. However, the full 12 per cent HST applies to the “closing costs� faced by sellers and buyers in all home sales, such as commissions, legal fees and inspections. And even after subtracting flow-through tax savings that reduce builder costs, new homes worth $600,000 and up are expected to cost more. “The higher cost of HST will be among several factors weighing down new home construction, including an over-valued market, an absence of pent-up demand, higher interest rates and this year’s changes to

The HST leads to business investment that increases output per worker and the overall standard of living, according to a study by TD Bank economists. mortgage regulations,� the report says. The TD Bank economists looked at the introduction of the HST in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland in 1997, and found that output per worker increased faster than the rest of Canada as businesses
invested in buildings, machinery and equipment. “The bottom line is that we don’t anticipate a significant overall economic impact from harmonizing the provincial sales tax with the federal sales tax,� the report says.
“The strong positive benefits on business investment and the export sector will go a long way in offsetting the negative nearterm adjustments that are likely to occur in consumer spending and in the housing market.�

Making trade fair Morning Star Staff
Fair trade is finding a home in Vernon. A pair of local grocers are stocking several Oxfam Fair Trade products. Nature’s Fare on 30th Avenue has had them on the shelves for about a month, and Quality Greens on Anderson Way brought some in last week. Nature’s Fare is carrying fair trade and organic cola, sparkling iced tea, jasmine rice and rice cakes with sea salt, and while they haven’t been flying off the shelf as of yet, grocery manager Daryl Leier says that’s to be expected with a new product line. “Anything new we put on our shelf takes people a while to warm up to,” he said, adding the cola is already proving to be quite popular. Quality Greens is stocking the cola, iced tea, brown rice, rice cakes and quinoa. They will also soon have mini rice cakes with chocolate topping, white jasmine rice, a selection of teas and non-organic orange juice. “They’re (Oxfam products) very recognizable and they all have the Fair Trade logo,” said Flavia Aarden-Kilger, who owns
Penticton-based Fair Trade Brokers and has the exclusive Canadian distribution rights for Oxfam Fair Trade product line. After working for years in Europe where fair trade products are more prevalent, she wanted to bring it to her native Canada. The idea behind fair trade products is that farmers are paid a fair wage for their crops, reflective of an equal global trade system. “They get a fair price for the work they’ve done, and the also get a premium (for things like schools and medicine). So whatever their community needs, they can put it towards that,” said Aarden-Kilger. She adds Oxfam will often travel to places where disaster (such as earthquakes and hurricanes) has struck to help get the economy rejuvinated. “Once the relief work is done, Oxfam comes in with the commercial side and they help,” she said. Quality Greens also has outlets in Kelowna, West Kelowna and Penticton. Nature’s Fare has branches in Kelowna (2), West Kelowna, Kamloops and Penticton.

Walmart raises $5.4M for children Morning Star Staff
Walmart Canada announced its recent Children's Miracle Network fundraising campaign raised a record $5.4 million to support Canadian children's healthcare. Children's Miracle Network supports 12 children's hospitals and foundations across Canada. Walmart thanked its customers, suppliers, and associates for their generous donations and support to such a worthy cause. From May 13 to June 13, customers were invited to show their generosity at Walmart stores nationwide by purchasing a $1 Children's Miracle Network balloon icon to support the 2.6 million children who receive care at Canada's children's hospitals each year. Money raised will help fund critical hospital equipment, ambulatory-care services, research, education programs, and specialty services at children's hospitals across Canada. To support the campaign, Walmart Canada also contributed corporate matching grants to all stores.

B.C. - The Trans-Canada Trail crosses most of southern British Columbia atop the historic Kettle Valley Railway. Most mountain bikers pedal this popular KVR section one-way from Rock Creek to Penticton, yet our Zen Cyclopath group begins outside Osoyoos. Utilizing the lesstraveled spur into Penticton, we’ll loop back through Rock Creek to Osoyoos. Pedaling our steely steeds above Osoyoos Lake, we stop to savor fruit at roadside stands, before swooping onto the KVR. The trail parallels the wide canal which irrigates the arid landscape. Two sunny hours later, our tents pop-up between Gallagher Lake and a rocky cliff where a sign warns: “Beware of Rattlesnakes.” Hardly rattled, our octet takes a refreshing dip. Our re-hydrated gourmet meal begins a series of al fresco dinners. On Sunday we proceed along this valley’s chain of lakes into Okanagan Falls, breakfasting at an outdoor café. Skirting Skaha Lake, we swim off two sandy beaches and ultimately bivouac in Penticton. After another starry night and hearty oatmeal breakfast, the trail leads us through town and a merry spin into Naramata’s vineyards. Spectacular Okanagan Lake panoramas reward us after a relentless upward grind. En route, we stop to watch an indifferent black bear rummaging for berries below KVR’s first tunnel. This cactus-lined trail eventually switchbacks under an evergreen canopy. After lunching at a log table, we pedal steadily onward, when miraculously, a trail host appears to present us with cold bottles of water. Nearby we investigate stone turn-ofthe-century ovens, that once baked railroaders’ bread. Two hours later, our tents

From the woods to grasslands Continued from previous page Like us, many cyclists and walkers experience the engineering marvel of this early railway spanning deep gullies atop eighteen towering trestles and passing through huge tunnels. After this wondrous eleven-kilometer pedal, we pause at a park kiosk to study photos of the past fire and trestle restoration, then whirl onward to a forest campsite at Hydraulic Lake. Wednesday presents a woodsy descent to Arlington Lake. Longneedled pines soon replace the dense forests of larch, hemlock and fir. In ranchlands, signage warns of toxic Toad Flax, tall yellow-blossomed plants flourishing among a new mix of wildflowers. Swooshing into Kettle Valley, we cross its river and onto a highway entering historic Beaverdale and a grassy town campsite. Our efforts are rewarded at the Tamarack Restaurant where we dine on roast beef. Thursday offers good times starting with Bull Creek Canyon boasting an idyllic white sand beach. At Rhone, a former KVR whistle stop, we revisit the TransCanada bicycle pavilion next to a red caboose.
view lots, our trip ends with an exhilarating ten-kilometer plunge back into Osoyoos. Celebrations begin at another fruit stand enjoying juicy plums, apricots and peaches. Packing up our bikes
and boxes of fresh fruit, we head homeward while reminiscing over our seven-day 350-kilometer achievement. Rick Millikan is with Travel Writers’ Tales, an independent travel article syndicate.

Campgrounds often promote refreshing dips such as this site on Gallagher Lake. Nine years earlier we’d met host Paul sporting a T- shirt announcing, “I’m 77…young for a tree!” Today his shirt declares, “I’m 86, deaf, blind and cranky!” Smiling, he shows us his Blue Healer’s new trick! Placing a dog cookie on Spud’s forehead, Paul walks twenty-meters and calls, “Wait!” Fortymeters further, he shouts, “Wait!” A block away, Paul yells, “Eat, it Spud!” Spud flips the cookie into his mouth! Opening and closing cattle gates, we spin through grassy ranchlands and camp at Kettle River Park. Heading to its sandy riverside beach, most of us dive into the shallows and ride the river’s current; meanwhile a brave trio jumps from its high trestle into the depths. An hour later, it’s rain-
ing; so it’s a dive into the tents. Seeing our plight, RV neighbours place an awning over our table. With lightning flashing and thunder roaring, we sup “al-storm-o”! Grazing deer see us off Friday on a route paralleling the Kettle River and across arid ranchlands. As the trail ends, we coast along a road into Rock Creek. Stoking up on pastries and java at a rustic café, we chug upwards into Bridesville and ultimately pass the summit of Anarchist Mountain. Breezily sailing downward, I sight our final campground’s Swiss flag…and yodel, “We’re here!” Saturday we find Highway 3 slopes pleasingly downward.

Rebate on HST available
T
ransititional HST - yes, there is such a thing. Homes completed, or semi-completed prior to July 1, 2010 will qualify for a rebate that will provide considerable assistance. As an example, I have a new home on the market priced at $484,500. It was fully completed by June 30. The home qualifies for a transitional rebate of around $9,690. That offsets the expense of the HST so well, that the prospective buyer will actually be no further out of pocket than they would have been, paying only GST. Alternately, if I chose to, I Jane Field could claim the transitional rebate and lower the price to the buyer. Either way the buyer saves money. Please don’t miss the point here. I am talking only of the transitional rebate which applies to homes already built, at least partially, but unsold by July 1. The formula varies with the fair market value and the degree the home is finished. Also, owner built homes have different rules. The formula looks something like this: Fair Market Value $484,500 12% HST $58,140 Less BC New Housing Rebate $24,225 (for owner occupied homes) Net Cost Equals $33,915 Actual Purchase Price $518,415 Less Transitional Rebate $9,690 $508,725 (2 % x Fair Market Value x percentage finished on June 30th, 2010 = rebate of $9,690. The buyer can claim this rebate or the builder can claim it and reduce their price accordingly, if they see fit to do so.) Under the old system of GST this same home would have cost the same price: Fair Market Value $484,500 GST (5%) $24,225 (no rebate due to the price being over $450,000) Actual Purchase Price $508,725 So, the HST used along with the transitional rebate, is no more expensive than GST, in this example. (My source for this information was the HST hotline (so, hopefully I was given correct information). That number is 1-800-959-8287,
REAL ESTATE
plus an accountant. Another transitional expense is the HST to be charged on real estate commissions. Many properties have been on the market a fair time before July 1, 2010. The real estate fees on sales after July 1, 2010 will be subject to HST, rather than GST. However, your realtor will be able to fill out a form that outlines what portion of the work in marketing the property took place prior to July 1, 2010 versus the work that took place after that date. The marketing work performed prior to July 1, 2010 will still only be subject to 5% GST. 12% HST will only be charged on the services that remained to be performed after July 1, 2010. I would like to remind everyone – HST is only applicable to new homes and substantially renovated homes, not regular used residential. Please consult your accountant for an explanation of “substantially renovated”. This is a difficult learning curve for us all. Lots of misinformation is out there. If I’ve done nothing else in this article, but alert you that a Transitional Rebate exists, I have done what I hoped to do. This opportunity definitely softens the blow. A useful website is http://hst.blog.gov.bc.ca/ wp-content/uploads/2010/03/new home HST calulator.x/s Lean on both the HST hotline and your accountant. They can sort out these questions for you and make it much easier. Jane Field works with Re/Max Vernon.

TV station runs its first high-definition broadcast KATHY MICHAELS Black Press
After a couple of rough years marred by lay-offs and continued uncertainty, the Okanagan’s very own finally got some pampering. Viewers of Global Okanagan – formerly CHBC – may have noticed the fruits of a month’s worth of labour and a year’s worth of planning during Thursday’s newscast. “It (was) the first time (we went) with the new HD technology,” said Dennis Gabelhouse, the station’s general
manager. Gabelhouse said it was a lengthy installation process that followed a long wait for the technology. “There will be lots of different graphics, a larger weather map for Mike (Roberts) to work with and an exciting and engaging newscast.” A few new tricks have been added to their bag, but that won’t translate to a crystal clear image of local personalities onto your home TV right away. An HD broadcast is still in the offing, and by the time it happens the station may no lon-
ger be a Canwest property. Shaw Cable is in the process of picking up the station, as was widely reported earlier this year. Gabelhouse said the next big step in the process should be Sept. 20. From that point, whatever changes may occur will start to become more evident over the months that follow.
The CHBC purchase happened after Canwest went into creditor protection last October as a means to manage the massive amount of debt it had acquired. At that time representatives said the purchase harkened a nice change of pace for CHBC employees, who have otherwise had a tumultuous few years. They had been dealing with potential clo-
sure for the better part of a year and those who
remained survived an earlier cull that saw 22

The year ahead could be a very exciting and happy one for you, when you become involved with someone who is far more adventurous than you are. It’ll be a learning experience that will make a wonderful impression on you.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Conditions are coming up roses in the romance department. If you’re unattached, you could meet someone special. If you’re already in love, things could get even better.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’re in a favorable cycle right now, in situations where you are calling the shots. Gather all the allies you want, but make sure that you are the one who continues to be in charge.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) A matter that has been hanging fire for far too long looks like it could be finally settled. With that out of the way, you could pave a path that holds real promise for you in the future.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Even though present conditions might tell you otherwise, you are slowly working your way up to the payoff window. Continue to devote much time and effort on an endeavor you think will work.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might come up with an ingenious new twist on something you are presently working on that would eclipse your present plans. It could bring a whole new situation into play.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Although their efforts will be unrelated to each other, two valued friends are playing major roles in bettering your personal affairs. Regardless of what your circumstances are right now, they will get better. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) New opportunities could pop up out of nowhere, even in a couple of areas in which you are presently experiencing problems. Be expectant and optimistic about the future. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Any new plans you come up with should be vigorously pursued, not tossed aside. Several of your ideas will have far-reaching, constructive effects on your affairs. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Even if you don’t notice it right away, a big change could be occurring that will have a wonderful effect on your affairs. It might have something to do with money. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Partnership arrangements are likely to take on far more significance for you as this week begins. One composition in particular will generate something quite impressive. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) An interesting development that has to do with your work or career could be in the offing for you this week. You might be offered a special assignment that could produce a raise or bonus.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Do some serious scouting around to see if you can find some new ways to enhance your financial position. They are out there, but you must ferret things out for yourself.
We thank you for making us a success. Come visit the staff and see our newly renovated building!

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.

gotpaindoctor.com Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder David Sedaris, a humorist, author and radio contributor, said, “Writing gives you the illusion of control, and then you realize it’s just an illusion, that people are going to bring their own stuff into it.” All right -- if that is true, I will write something, then pass control over to you. South is in four hearts. West leads either the spade jack or the heart jack. Who is in control, the defense or the declarer? South’s two-heart rebid shows at least a six-card suit and some 6-9 highcard points. North, with two trumps and 17 points, makes a game-invitational raise. And South, who has the ace-king of trumps, happily takes a shot at
the vulnerable game. (If you use weak-jump-shift responses, make sure you and your partner agree on how many points are promised.) South should assume that the missing hearts are breaking 3-2. Even so, he still has four potential losers: one heart and three diamonds. But the defenders cannot immediately cash three diamond tricks, because declarer can ruff the third round in the dummy. That thought should show South how to retain control. If West leads the spade jack, declarer takes the trick with dummy’s ace, calls for a low heart, and plays a low heart from his hand. This gives the defenders the trump trick
they will always get while you retain a heart in the dummy with which to ruff a third round of diamonds. When South next wins a trick, he draws trumps and runs the clubs. If West leads a trump, South follows the same scheme, ducking that trick.
