Slowdown halts Hesperia work ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Proposed development work on the Hesperia lands in Okanagan Landing have been put on hold. The He s p e r i a Development Corporation announced Tuesday that because of the current markets and availability of housing there is little need to proceed with development at this time.
“The site will be builtout over the next 15 to 20 years, as demand dictates,” said Hesperia president Ken Stewart in a press release. “We are not currently facing strong demand, rising prices or a shortage of housing so the board feels now is not the time to be investing heavily in infrastructure that may be under-utilized for the next few years.” In February, Vernon city

tion of the property and the definition of maximum gross floor area. Vernon Mayor Wayne Lippert said the move makes sense. “When the Hesperia development got going, it was to assist with housing. It was to be a significant affordable component for mid-range housing,” said Lippert. “With today’s economy and real estate mar-
ket, we don’t have the same pressure and need we did have. Market values have changed and housing prices have changed enough we don’t feel it’s necessary to invest any more money. “Plans are in place to be able to pick it up and go at a later date.” Off-site development along Okanagan Avenue and on-site development of the first of 13 phases will be

council gave third reading to a bylaw that would rezone 69 acres near Okanagan Avenue to allow for 1,000 units of market and attainable housing.

Hesperia will now limit its activities to planning, engineering and design in order to be ready when demand and prices begin to escalate. “Work will continue on completing a master development agreement and obtaining fourth reading from council to approve zoning and the development plan,” said Stewart.

News Celebrating art at Midsummer’s Eve JESSICA SCHWITEK Morning Star Staff
I thought I had come prepared for my first ever appearance at what I was told was the social event of the season. But my high-heels were getting stuck in the uneven ground in the gardens of the beautiful and historical Caetani Cultural Centre, and my overdone make-up was smudging in the summer heat. To my pleasant surprise, a seasoned pro of the charitable event, comfortably dressed in jeans and flat shoes, told me to “take the heels off and go barefoot, no one will notice.� It turns out the evening was as much a celebration of the community as it was an art show. The 24th annual Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts on Wednesday night was an event for locals from every walk of life to come together to celebrate the arts — and drink complimentary wine. The sophistication of the artwork, along with floorlength gowns and wide-brim hats usually reserved for the Kentucky Derby, provided the most interesting contrast from the bright-yellow Crocs and occasional Hawaiian shirt peaking through a tan blazer at Vernon’s most magical night of the year. “There’s still a lot of interest in the arts here,� said Dauna Grant, executive director of the Vernon Public Art Gallery. The Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts garden party and art auction is the largest fundraising event of the year for the gallery. The show featured more than 100 items to bid on, ranging from paintings and sculptures, to jewelry and clothing, and everything in between. “I usually wind up being too busy to bid on the art myself,� said Grant. “But I love the sailboat.� The sailboat, titled The
er With ov the s in 35 year , we are an Okanag or you. e her f
Loki, is a stainless steel, plexiglass and water sculpture by artist Michael Nield. Unfortunately Grant did not have the winning bid. “I’m thrilled that someone else is going to get to enjoy it. It’s such a great piece.� The night’s main event, the live auction, was a spectacle all its own. As is tradition, the award-winning cattle auctioneers from Armstrong’s Valley Auction, Peter Raffan and Rod Burnett, stood in the main art tent shouting to the crowd as excited art lovers raised their hands to bid. “It’s a lot of fun,� said Raffan, who admitted he can’t even remember how long he’s been doing Midsummer’s. And despite the differences in selling art and livestock, he said selling is still selling. “But we sell cattle by the pound, you can’t exactly do that with art,� he said. For years Raffan has wandered through the art tents, admiring the work from a variety of both local and distant artists. One of those especially talented people is artist Angelika Jaeger, former chair of the Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts. “I’m just enjoying being an artist this year,� said Jaeger. “To celebrate the art, and be celebrated.� Jaeger’s acrylic painting of a ballerina called Tip-Toe, which is part of a series where she zooms in on certain body parts from people of all walks of life, sold in the live auction for $900. The biggest sale of the night however, belonged to artist Rick Bond and his painting Spring in Vernazza. The piece was sold for $1,500. In the end, the event raised $40,000 for the gallery. But the evening was about more than just art. It was about people coming together. And the evening’s master of ceremonies was proof of that. “I met my husband at this very event,� said Mary-
Jo O’Keefe, volunteering as emcee for the live auction. She was introduced to her husband David in the Caetani gardens 19 years ago. “It’s like having another anniversary every year,� said O’Keefe who keeps coming back every time she can. Next year Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts will be the 25th year the gallery has put on the fundraiser, and they may be making a few changes. “We definitely plan on shaking things up a bit next year,� said Grant.

An Armstrong man is facing multiple charges following two separate incidents over the past few weeks. The 41-year-old man was arrested in the early morning hours of July 16 in Vernon when officers came upon a disturbance in the downtown core. The suspect is alleged to have been involved in a verbal altercation with a woman and threatened her. “As he was leaving the area, he was stopped by police and arrested for the offence of drinking and driving in relation to the threat,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. While in custody, the man was identified as a suspect in a sexual assault that happened in the early hours of July 1. The assault was reported to police on July 15. “Plain-clothes investigators from our detachment carried out the sexual assault investigation,” said Molendyk. “This has resulted in additional charges.” Police have received additional information about other possible incidents of sexual assaults on women in the North Okanagan area, and are continuing to investigate these. Anyone with any information in relation to these sexual assaults is asked to contact the Vernon RCMP at 250-545-7171, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477. Joseph Vance Caron has been charged with uttering threats, unlawful confinement, sexual assault, breach of recognizance and refusing to provide a breath sample. Caron has been remanded in custody pending his next court appearance, slated for Aug. 4.

Hockey pioneer home for visit Morning Star Staff
The China Clipper is returning home for the weekend. Vernon’s Larry Kwong, the first Asian-Canadian to play in the NHL (1948 with the New York Rangers), will be a guest at the Vernon Museum Saturday, and the public is invited to meet the hockey pioneer from noon to 12:30 p.m. Kwong, 87, who now lives in Calgary, was born and raised in Vernon, helping the Vernon Hydrophones win the B.C. midget and juvenile hockey championships in the late 1930s. It was his Hydrophone teammates who called him The China Clipper because of his speed on the ice. In 1947, Kwong starred for the New York Rangers farm team, the New York Rovers, of the Eastern Hockey League. He played in 47 games, scoring 19 goals and 37 points. The following year, Kwong would make hockey history, becoming the first Asian-Canadian to play in the NHL, when the Rangers suited him up for a game in Montreal against Rocket Richard and the Canadiens at the old Forum. Kwong, a left winger, waited for two periods before Rangers coach Frank Boucher finally tapped him on the shoulder in the third period. On March 13, 1948, Kwong hopped over the Forum boards, along with the Rangers’ top two scorers, Buddy O’Connor and Edgar Laprade, and into the record books. His shift lasted only a minute, and he never appeared in another NHL game.
Vernon Silver Star Elementary Grade 6 student Gavin Donald presented a project he did on Kwong – Larry Kwong: A Hero to Me – at the third annual Vernon and District Heritage Fair in April. Donald will have his project on display at the museum along with a petition for the public to sign. Donald aims to have Kwong inducted into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame. The two will meet today at the Kelowna Airport, then travel to Penticton for the B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame ceremonies, where Kwong will be presented with a pioneer award.

Drowning victim fell from boat CHERYL WIERDA Black Press
Around dusk on Monday, a group of five friends who had spent the evening on Okanagan Lake wake surfing and fishing from a pontoon boat were traveling back to the Eldorado boat ramp when the boat operator slowed the boat abruptly. “The victim, who was standing at the edge of the front of the boat, lost his balance and pitched forward into the water in front of the boat,” said Const. Steve Holmes. “The others in
the boat heard a bump as the boat passed over the victim and they dove in after him when they saw him floating briefly behind the boat.” The friends were not able to get to Cole Barr, 25, who was not wearing a life jacket, before he sank from view. Police say the men continued to look for their friend for an hour before steering the pontoon boat back to shore, where they called police. Two fire department boats were launched and searched the area where the victim is believed
to have fallen in. Crews also conducted a shoreline search before calling the search off for the night. The search resumed by water and air on Tuesday and Wednesday with an RCMP police boat and two craft from the Central Okanagan Search and Rescue utilizing depth finders and sonar devices in an attempt to locate Barr in the vicinity where he went missing. His body has not been located. The drowning is at least the
third on Okanagan Lake this year. On July 9, a toddler was found, unconscious, in the waters of Okanagan Lake near Fintry Delta. In March, the boat of recreational fisherman James Cormier was found unattended near Rattlesnake Island. Also in Kelowna, police have dealt with a separate drowning at McCulloch Lake where Eric Thomas had gone kayaking on May 15 and was later reported missing. His body was recovered sometime later.
Red Cross issues plea for water safety Morning Star Staff
Four drownings and one near drowning in British Columbia over the past few weekends has prompted the Canadian Red Cross to renew its plea for caution in, on or around water. “As an organization dedicated to swimming and water safety training for over 60 years, it’s heart-breaking to see the agony now facing families and friends,” says Derek Mahoney, First Aid & Water Safety representative for the Canadian Red Cross. “This number of deaths is both tragic and alarming to us because drownings are predictable and preventable.” Each year, over 400 Canadians drown and half of them die in June, July and August. “Over half of drownings in summer involve boating activities, which underscores how vitally important it is that anyone setting foot in a pleasure craft be wearing an approved and properly fitted life-jacket at all times,” Mahoney added. “Our goal, and that of our partners in water safety, is to get the number of drowning deaths down to zero.” Who is at risk for
drowning? ■ Boating is the most frequent activity leading to drowning in Canada. ■ Aquatic activities (swimming, wading, or playing near unprotected water such as swimming pools) are the second most frequent activities leading to drowning. ■ Adult males and children are the most vulnerable to drowning. Most drowning victims are males between 15 and 74 years of age; next are children age 1-4. How to avoid waterrelated injuries ■ Always wear your lifejacket or personal flotation device. ■ Water and alcohol don’t mix. Don’t drink while swimming or boating. ■ Ensure home pools are fenced (not just around the property) and the gate access is fitted with a self-closing and selflatching mechanism. ■ Supervision of children is key, whether at home or on vacation. If you head to a cottage by a lake, or
even your local pool, adult supervision is the best protection for children – even those who can swim. ■ Be cautious about swimming in currents, and know what to do if you get into trouble. ■ Get trained. Take swimming and water safety lessons; get your Pleasure Craft Operator Card if you operate a boat; know how to respond in an emergency by taking
first aid lessons. Anyone can drown in less time than it takes to read these tips. Each year, Canadian Red Cross trains more than one million Canadians to be safe around water. The Canadian Red Cross has been a leader in water safety in Canada for the past 60 years; in that time, drowning rates in Canada have decreased by more than half.

On the computer trail
R
ecently, I’ve cut back on my time spent on the computer but it’s not any kind of lifestyle-altering decision. It’s because my four-year-old laptop appears to be on its death bed and I’ve sent it to a specialist to see if it can be revived. So, I no longer have a computer at home. Granted, I will still spend the majority of my work day here at my desk looking at a computer screen but when I leave for home at the end of the day, that’s it. And it’s not as if it’s a big loss for me. Growing up, personal computers didn’t become a fixture in everyone’s home until I was a teenager in the mid-1990s. So I’m not lost without a computer and I use my cell phone mainly for phoning people, Brent Mutis believe it or not. Well, that, and for telling me the time when I’m out walking around. Actually, in my early years of elementary school, computer class consisted of a two-week period at some point during the year where about 20 computers were wheeled into the gym and the different grades of students would take turns going in to use them. Nobody knew how to type properly (which gives my Grade 1 classmates something in common with some of the people I now work with) and we used a program where you entered commands that caused a triangle-shaped object, called the turtle, to draw lines and create shapes. So, as I make a short story long (hey, gotta fill up column space here), I’m not in any kind of a panic without a computer to go home to. But I recognize I will need to either get my current laptop fixed or buy a new one. That brings me to my next point which is, after three years of exposure to Macintosh computers thanks to journalism school and jobs at three different newspapers, I will probably go for a Mac the next time I buy a computer.
AT RANDOM
We all use Mac computers here at The Morning Star and the same goes for all the other Black Press outlets I’ve worked at too. Mac operating systems are easy enough to navigate, make it easy to lay out a newspaper, create videos and process photographs. For me, the coolest part is that it’s simple to make the different software programs talk to each other, if you will. I can process a picture in Photoshop, insert it into iMovie and dub a song from iTunes over it all in minimal time. Child’s play for most kids basically who grew up while online but pretty cool for a guy that can remember running Oregon Trail from a floppy disk (this was the only video game I know of where you would arbitrarily be informed you had died of dysentery or typhoid fever). But I digress. I will likely need a new computer sometime soon and will have to buck up if it’s going to be a Mac. And I wouldn’t say I’m just buying into the clever Mac ad campaign featuring the young, tech-savvy guy playing the part of the Mac computer who always comes off looking more competent and collected than the heavyset, middle-aged guy playing the PC. I suppose I fit more into the Mac demographic but apparently people of all ages are buying in. During a recent visit to the computer department at a local electronics shop, the salesman told me he’s seeing more and more Mac sales. And the company’s shares are doing well as they grab more market share. Granted, they are more expensive than PCs and the variety of clones out there so I’ll likely have to go for the base Mac model. But I’ve heard good things about the basic model from others and there’s also the added bonus of Macs not being subject to as many viruses as PCs are. With computer memory now entering the thousands of gigabytes and some desktop models even having a terabyte (a trillion bytes) I should have no trouble running the newest version of Oregon Trail.
In the wake of another drowning fatality in Okanagan Lake this week, the Canadian Red Cross has issued a timely appeal for caution in, on or around water. A 25-year-old resident of Kelowna died when he fell off a pontoon boat near the Eldorado boat ramp Monday evening. Earlier this summer a toddler drowned near the Fintry Delta and a fisherman fell victim to the same fate near Rattlesnake Island. “This number of deaths is both tragic and alarming to us because drownings are predictable and preventable,” said Derek Mahoney, First Aid & Water Safety representative for the Canadian Red Cross. Statistics show a shocking 400 Canadians drown each year and half of them die in June, July and August. Adult males and children are most vulnerable, which is echoed by the Okanagan experience of late. Boating is the most frequent activity leading to drowning in Canada, which leads to the number one rule when out on the water – be boat smart. And that means always wearing your lifejacket or personal flotation device. It may not be the coolest thing to do on a hot summer day but it’s the only way to ensure your safety if the unforeseen happens. And that’s the thing about accidents of any kind, you don’t anticipate them, they just happen and too many times they turn tragic. However, respecting the water at all times and practising boat safety gives us all a better chance of avoiding any more heartbreak this summer.

Mayor responds to column
A
s mayor of Coldstream, I am writing in response to Mr. Rolke’s column "Beyond the Headlines – Get on the Bus Gus" with regard to my requesting information in order to make a decision on whether or not to support an additional bus to UBCO. Since Mr Rolke never interviewed me and the reporter Mr Knox, who did, had only a short time to speak. I would like to fill in the gaps of this story. Coldstream Council is taking steps to determine if the additional UBCO bus is justified because we will bear responsibility for this decision, not Mr. Rolke. Our decision will depend on a number of factors beyond how many users of the UBCO bus are from Coldstream. Firstly, Coldstream is faced with the possibility of our other partners in the Transit service not supporting the additional bus. If Coldstream and Vernon go it alone due to other partners pulling out of the service, our increase will not be the $3,600 alluded to by Mr. Rolke, but just over $11,000. This will be in addition to cost increases due to other proposed transit service enhancements which will result in an HAD HIS VOTE So Mr. Foster you seem to have missed the rationale of those of us who voted for you in the last election. I, and I am sure many if not all others, voted because you were going to represent us. To this point it does not appear to me you have given your constituents any consideration at all or for that matter had a thought of your own when it comes to the HST. You are definitely your leader's puppet. He didn't vote for you, we did - remember that! Doug Wiebe SUPPORT FOR AGRICULTURE Included in this article are statements made by Mr. Foster. He says," it's not that we don't support agriculture, we do." "But everyone has to cut it a little bit." He goes on to say that "he buys all of his farm products locally and that he would be happy to put his support
increase from our current cost of about $103,000 to about $147,000 annually with no added services. This will be a 1.16 per cent tax increase to our residents. We have to decide at what cost we are willing to support this service and its benefits to Coldstream. Next, I personally want to have some confidence that the UBCO bus line operates somewhat efficiently. It makes no sense to simply fund transit because it sounds environmentally friendly when in fact it may not be. I do not support large empty buses travelling down our roads. Coldstream does not have a high population density.
behind local agriculture in any other way council would like." When something so basic as the production of our local food supply gets short changed, it illustrates mankind's capacity for folly. Where's the revolt against this silliness? I haven't learned to survive on air yet? I don't want farmers anywhere in the world having to "cut it a bit." Why should they? As I see it, local farmers need to be supported so that they can sell their produce at competitive rates. Free trade is not free, it comes with costs. One cost is that our local farmers suffer. They have a right to make a living just as anyone else does. It seems to me that our political system has failed us and that local politicians have no lobbying power! Our MLAs and MPs appear to be figureheads only! Rhetoric and helplessness does not get our needs met.
We want the opportunity to work with BC Transit to set up routes that will make the best of a bad situation. We provide busing more out of convenience to some of our residents rather than environmental or sustainability factors. If costs are found to be too high this could lead to reducing our already limited transit service within Coldstream to support the UBCO bus. Finally, I am not convinced that this push to fund an additional transit bus is without unintended, negative side effects. We have our own Okanagan College sitting in Coldstream. In speaking to John Lent from the college I was told that Okanagan
Why do we pay people who don't have a mandate to represent us? Let's stop paying for something that doesn't work. Let's use the money to help agriculture survive. I trust that there will be a local food supply for Mr. Foster to buy, after farmers "cut it a bit.' Melvina Maruska NO WAGE HIKE On July 1 people across the country celebrated Canada Day. Other things happened on July 1. British Columbians began paying HST. On the other side of the country, in Newfoundland, minimum wage workers got a raise to $10 an hour. Here in B.C. nothing changed with our minimum wage, the same way nothing has happened to it in the last nine years, frozen at $8 an hour. We called and found that a major fast food chain restaurant in St. John's is starting workers at
College has been asking for a transit bus to pick up students after evening classes with no results. Why would we not try and improve the busing to our local college first? I would also like to know how many students attending UBCO are simply in their first and second years of university. Courses at this level are also being offered at Okanagan College. Do we need to send these students all the way to Kelowna? Are we unintentionally creating a drain of students away from our local college? Should we not support Okanagan College to provide even more programs? This could result in Okanagan College becoming an even more successful local post secondary educational facility where young people can attend. I and my council are trying to make the best decision and make transit work in some form for Coldstream. Before we get on any bus, as Mr. Rolke suggests, we will check the fare to see if we can afford it and determine if this is the right bus to get on in order to arrive at where we want to go. Jim Garlick, Mayor, District of Coldstream
$10.25 an hour. Here in B.C. many of the same restaurants start their workers at $6.75 an hour. That is $3.50 an hour less. By the way, the same burger in Newfoundland costs $4.19 and, despite the lowest starting wages in Canada, British Columbians also pay $4.19. Raising the minimum wage to $10 an hour is the right thing to do and the vast majority of British Columbians believe it is long overdue. On raising the minimum wage, the question was: If not now, when? After nine years, the question should be: if not now, ever? So the next time you complain about paying HST on a burger, and you have many reasons to be outraged at the HST, remember the person serving you. They are paying HST too, and they haven’t had a raise since 2001. Jim Sinclair, President of the BC Federation of Labour

Racing Days wraps up run Morning Star Staff
Organizers of Vernon Racing Days at Kin Race Track are hoping for a full house Sunday for the last day of racing this year. The Okanagan Equestrian Society is running the event and a lot is riding on it as it could be the last day of racing ever if the City of Vernon and the North Okanagan Regional District can’t come to an agreement on how to continue operations at the track. The society would like to see Vernon’s racing tradition continue. “We are continuing the fight in the courts and are hopeful we will be running again next year and for many years after that,” said society president Ed Woolley. “It’s clear that a significant segment of the community is supportive of the track and hopefully they can put some pressure on their elected officials to reconsider their stance with regards to this piece of history.” Horse racing has taken place since 1885 at the current Kin Race Track site. In those days, it consisted of local farmers and ranchers getting together to race to race their horses in a farmer’s field. In 1893, the Vernon Jockey Club was incorporated and formal races were organized. Racing has continued since then making Kin Race Track the oldest operating horse racing track in Canada.

News Acton looking to diversify Lumby BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
Lumby Mayor Kevin Acton brought councillors up to speed on his recent meeting with Premier Gordon Campbell and says a correctional facility isn’t the only thing he’ll aim for in trying to diversify the community. Acton said a great deal of his conversation with Campbell regarded the potential for a correctional facility but they also discussed the village’s application for a community forest. If approved, the Ministry of Forests would allow Lumby tenure to produce about 20,000 cubic metres of wood fibre for export or use in local mills that don’t have tenure. Campbell also advised Acton to get in touch with B.C.’s solicitor general to follow up about solidifying correctional facility plans, if that’s the way the village decides to go. “I’m going to be phoning solicitor general Mike de Jong and organize (a meeting) for the fall,� said Acton. “I had a meeting with (former solicitor general) Kash Heed last year and I think it’s prudent to meet the solicitor general again.� Acton is also hoping to hold another public meeting to hear ideas about how the correctional facility should be planned. “In the fall, we’re looking at another public meeting that’s more to include all ideas that might be brought to the floor,� he said. “We’re looking at forming an advisory group for Lumby’s vision.� Acton told council his meeting with Campbell, which was over breakfast on July 15, allowed him a unique opportunity as he was seated directly across from the premier. According to the mayor, Campbell sees the poten-
tial for Lumby as a site of a correctional facility. “He knows it’s not a bad thing, it’s a good
thing and a money generator,� said Acton. “He said the province wouldn’t be opposed to
it if Lumby wanted it.� If approved, the facility would have a capacity of about 200.

OPEN FIRE RESTRICTION in the Kamloops Fire Centre Effective noon July 15, all open fires are prohibited within the Kamloops Fire Centre’s jurisdiction to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety. Specifically this prohibits burning any waste, slash or other material, and stubble or grass over any area. It also prohibits the use of fireworks or burning barrels of any size or description. The ban does not prohibit campfires that are a half-metre high by a half-metre wide or smaller, or to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes. People lighting a campfire must maintain a fireguard by removing flammable debris from the campfire area, and must have a hand tool or at least eight litres of water nearby to properly extinguish the campfire. This open fire ban applies within BC Parks and to all public (Crown) and private land outside of organized areas. This fire ban does not apply within municipalities or regional districts that have their own burning bylaws. Please check with your local authorities before lighting a fire this summer. The Kamloops Fire Centre extends from the northern border of Wells Gray Park, north of Blue River to the U.S. border in the south, and from the Bridge River Glacier west of Goldbridge to the Monashee Mountains east of Lumby.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever felt guilty about throwing old light bulbs, thermostats, electronics and batteries into the garbage because of their toxic contents, relief is available as recycling programs were launched in the North Okanagan July 1. Three new extended producer responsibility (EPR) programs to reduce waste and to protect the environment have been developed by the Electrical Equipment Manufacturers Association of Canada Dead fluorescent tubes and light bulbs can now be taken to Home Building Centre and London Drugs in Vernon and Shepherds Hardware in Armstrong will accept a maximum of sixteen (16) bulbs and/or tubes at one time from residents. Please ensure that bulbs and tubes are securely transported to avoid breakage and subsequent mercury vapour release. Also, the Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada has made safe disposal of fully intact electromechanical and electronic thermostats possible. When upgrading to a programmable thermostat, return your old one to Andrew Sheret Ltd. at 1020 Waddington Drive in Vernon. Mercury thermometers are not included in this program but may be brought to the annual Residential Household Hazardous Waste Round Up for safe disposal. Finally, the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC) has expanded to include non-rechargeable batteries. Residents can now drop off alkaline (AA, AAA, 9V), lithium primary, lithium ion (Li-Ion), nickel cadmium (NiCd), nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH), nickel zinc (Ni-Zn), small sealed lead acid (SSLA/Pb), cell phones (and their batteries) at no charge provided each battery weighs less than five kilograms. For a complete list of depots in the North Okanagan, go to www.call2recycle.ca. The electronics EPR program has also recently expanded the list of items accepted. The new items added to the electronics take back program include: DVD and VHS players, stereo equipment, clocks, headphones, iPods and more. For a complete list of the products accepted at Encorp registered facilities (Venture Training and Interior Freight and Bottle in Vernon or the Armstrong Spallumcheen Bottle Depot in Armstrong) go to www.encorp.ca or contact the Recycling Council of BC at 1-800-667-4321. EPR is a strategy utilized by the province of British Columbia to place the responsibility of end of life product management on those producing the item and not burden taxpayers or local government. For more information on EPR go to www. env.gov.bc.ca/epd/recycling/ or call the Regional District of the North Okanagan at 250-5503700.

Vehicle inspectors will be checking out B.C. trucks Morning Star Staff
on the steering system, brakes, tires, wheels and rims. They are defects that:
■ Clearly affect safe operation of a vehicle. ■ Should have been detected by the drivers
during their pre-trip inspection. ■ Cannot normally be repaired at the side of
the road and indicative of ongoing poor maintenance. Enforcement will be
on major highways and companion roads in the Southern Interior. There are almost 200 CVSE
field staff in B.C. who carry out more than 20,000 roadside vehicle inspections a year.
A 4 ? E = N 1
HA
The province’s Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement (CVSE) branch, in cooperation with local law enforcement, will be out this summer to ensure commercial vehicles operating in the Southern Interior are meeting safety standards, said Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Shirley Bond. “This summer’s focused enforcement in the Southern Interior by our ministry’s CVSE staff is part of increased roadside enforcement right across the province,” said Bond. “We want to raise awareness in the commercial transport industry about safety on the roads, and that we expect safety standards to be met.” CVSE inspectors will be targeting load security issues and the mechanical condition of commercial vehicles, including long haul trucks, local taxis and farm vehicles.

Shamrocks roll into Shaw final Morning Star Staff
Savvy veterans and surefire junior snipers. The Armstrong Shamrocks have worked this lethal combination to perfection, earning a berth in the Shaw Cup Senior C Men’s Lacrosse Championships. The Irish advanced by sweeping the Vernon Tigers 2-0 in the semis, capped by a 10-2 drubbing of the host Cats in Game 2 of the bestof-three Wednesday night at Civic Arena. The Tigers came out determined in the first period, peppering netminder Chad Pieper with shots and hitting countless posts, but it was Armstrong who held a 2-1 lead at the intermission. “Without him (Pieper) tonight, it could have been a different game,” said Shamrocks’ head coach Ken McGregor. The ‘Rocks earned a two-goal cushion early in the second period before Vernon’s Casey Sherriff worked a slick give-and-go with captain Kirk Krause to pull within one midway through the frame. Sherriff, an eight-year Tiger veteran who also netted Vernon’s other goal, was succinct in summing up the game.

Vernon Tiger's defender Blake Lewis (left) delivers a massive block to Quinn Smith of the Kamloops Venom, jarring the ball free in Game 3 of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League championship series Tuesday night at Wesbild Centre. The Tigers demolished the Venom 9-3, and trail the best-of-five series 2-1.
Tigers torch rookie tender Morning Star Staff
It was a gutsy call that could have backfired. Instead, it gave the Vernon Re/Max Tigers a decided edge in Game 3 of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League finals Tuesday night at Wesbild Centre. Kamloops’ netminder Andrew Copeland was ejected early in the first period after Tigers’ general manager and assistant coach Rich Zecchel, a former netminder himself, asked for an illegal equipment check. Copeland’s shoulder pads were deemed too wide, and the Tigers went on to light up Midget call-up keeper Mitch Horsman to earn a 9-3 win. “That was a good call by Rich. He’s fanatical about lacrosse rules and technicalities,” said Tigers’ head coach Bryan Klein. “It put them in a tailspin and they lost focus. It changed the game.” Vernon went into Game 4 trailing the best-offive series 2-1 Thursday night at Memorial Arena in Kamloops. A Tigers’ win would see the two teams square off for Game 5 Saturday night (7:30) at Civic Arena. With Copeland out and the Venom bench still fuming, the Tigers unleashed their offence, getting first-period goals from Craig Bigsby (2), Brooks Christensen and Riley Soleway. Goals by Soleway and Nolan Frame had Vernon in complete control in the second period. Liam Haggerty answered for Kamloops in the middle frame. “Everybody played so well, but one kid that really came alive for us was Nolan Frame,” said Klein. “He’s a very talented offensive player and he had some huge shifts for us.” Tigers’ captain Robbie Short, with a pair, and Ryan Landels rounded out the Vernon attack in the third period. Short added two assists.
The Venom got other offence from Chris Case and regular-season scoring leader Quinn Smith. Klein believes his team’s punishing brand of defence is finally paying dividends, as the Kamloops snipers are showing reluctance in going to the middle. “They’re feeling the wear of this series. Our guys are pretty marked up too, but they can still get out there and run when they have to,” he said. “It’s the same as last year – every chance we get to wear them down, we have to do it. That’s how we have to approach it. Our defensive focus is right where it needs to be.” Things got rough in the third period as the Tigers’ Brennan Plante and Venom’s Ben Saklofsky, who scored the double-overtime winner in Game 2 Monday night, got into a scrap late in the period. Both will miss Thursday’s game. Kamloops’ Colten DeFrias will miss the remainder of the series after he earned a double-gross misconduct. The Venom finished with 55 penalty minutes, the Tigers earned 31. Netminder Josh Phillips recorded 36 saves for the win. Horsman, who is competing with the Zone 2 Thompson Okanagan box lacrosse team at the B.C. Summer Games in Langley, made 45 stops. ■ Former Tiger netminder Brodie MacDonald backstopped the Coquitlam Adanacs to a 10-7 win over the host Delta Islanders in Game 2 of the best-of-five B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League semifinals Tuesday night in Ladner. MacDonald came in midway through the first period to relieve Dan Lewis, who allowed five goals on 11 Islander shots. The 6-foot-7, 260-pounder recorded 32 stops for the win. The Adanacs will look to make it a three-game sweep as Game 3 goes tonight in Coquitlam.

Concept crew collects first win Morning Star Staff
Concept Physio finally got in the win column, posting a 4-3 victory over Kal Sports Bar in North Okanagan Men’s Soccer League play Wednesday night at Marshall #4. The Kal crew started the game a man down, and despite many offensive chances, Concept was unable to capitalize. Just after their 10th player hit the field, Kal’s Kris Glinsbockel snuck past two defenders to open the scoring. Shortly after, a mix-up in the Concept box led to a defender smacking a clearing attempt off Glinsbockel and into the net for his second goal. Concept made it 2-1 off a great run by Mac Campbell that led to a penalty kick score by Ben Osborn. That lead was short lived as Glinsbockel completed his hat trick on another great run through the defenders. The second half was played mainly in the Kal Sports Bar half of the field as they tried to protect the lead. The physio squad continued to push, getting goals by Mac Campbell and Brock Reim to even the game with very little time to play. With just over a minute to go, newcomer Enzo Paal beat a couple of defenders and
pushed the ball through to Alex MacDougall for the winner. Brent Poulsen fired a pair of goals as North Enderby Timber earned a 4-4 draw with Salmon Arm Courvas Wednesday night at Marshall #3. The two clubs traded leads throughout the game. Courvas held a 4-3 lead with 15 minutes to play, but Poulsen earned the equalizer. NET (7-1-4) got other goals from John Orton and Corey Wallis, who converted a penalty kick after Poulsen was hauled down inside the 18. Eric Foreman led the Courvas’ attack, scoring a pair of goals on free kicks, both hitting the post and bouncing in. Courvas are 5-1-4. The Revelstoke Stallions outlasted Davidson Dynamite 2-1 Monday at Marshall #2. Revelstoke (9-1) struck first with an early goal in which the Revelstoke forward was poorly defended and caught Dynamite keeper Ean Ross going the other way as he put a soft shot on net. Dynamite (4-6-1) responded with a strong attack a few minutes later that saw numerous players get chances, but it was forward Ryan Harvey buried the shot. The score remained tied until midway through the

Soccer duo net Stein scholly GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Paige Doherty wanted to shake Marty Stein’s hand, but couldn’t. A week earlier, she had badly jammed her pointer finger at soccer practice, but rather than stop playing, Doherty somehow stabilized it with a hair elastic and kept going (after a few minutes of rolling around in excruciating agony, of course). The normally fleet-footed Doherty dragged her heels in getting it checked out by a doctor, discovering she had actually broken the digit. “I got the X-ray (a week later) because I was stubborn and didn’t want to go,” she grinned. “It wasn’t even in a game. How lame is that?” So instead, she proffered Stein a few fingers in a pseudo-handshake, thanking him for honouring her with the North Okanagan Youth Soccer Association (NOYSA) George Stein Memorial Scholarship. Doherty and Connor Lee are this year’s recipients of the award, which recognizes a graduating Vernon-area student for giving back to the soccer community. They each pocketed $500 towards postsecondary education. Doherty, who currently plays midfield with the Okanagan Under 21 Vikings, is heading south on a scholarship to play with the Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU) Bulldogs. Lee, a Seaton grad, is playing with Okanagan Whitecaps men’s reserve team in the Pacific Coast Soccer League (PCSL), as well as the NOYSA U18

George’s son, Marty, greets the two athletes at the VantageOne Soccer Centre. boys Rep team. He will join the University of Victoria Vikings program this fall. “I was really happy when I learned I got this award,” said Lee. “Ever since my older sister (Lindsay) got it when she was in Grade 12, it has been a goal of mine. “I didn’t really know what it was, I knew it was for NOYSA and I’ve really liked NOYSA all these years, and now I’ve figured out a lot more about it.” While their talent and dedication makes these two stand out on the field, this award recognizes them for their hard work off the pitch. Both are members of the Okanagan Whitecaps soccer academy, and both have been heavily involved in coaching the next
group of up-and-comers at summer camps and through the Soccer Patch. “They’ve been completely involved with our youth development program,” said NOYSA’s Marina Korberg, who helped school district staff whittle down the more than 50 scholarship applications. “Especially having our school program out here, you get to know them as people, almost like your own children. They’re here, they’re helpful. “They’re excellent athletes, but they’re also excellent people. We’re proud of both of them.” Marty’s father, George, who died in 1996, was the founder of youth soccer in Vernon. He and Fred Mann were instru-

mental in getting the original soccer clubhouse built, and starting the sport on a grassroots level. “It’s just been a progression, and to see all these kids come up and get rewarded for their contributions, for everything that they’ve done... for NOYSA to recognize them with some money for their contributions is very nice,” he said. Marty adds that when the scholarship first started, it was a single award for $200, and much like the sport itself, it has steadily grown over the years. Both Lee (2009) and Doherty (2010) have participated in the Super Y League Olympic Development program in Florida.

They competed in a field of more than 400 racers from across North America. “The Nanaimo BMX track is long and fast with a terrific rhythm section that had some riders winded before the last straight,” said Vernon’s Shanda Hill, who raced against the pro men after she discovered there were no pro women competing. Shylo Orchard, riding in 26-30 women’s Cruiser class, took home gold all weekend, as did Ian Knopf, newly signed with Extreme Team, in both 10 Cruiser and 10 Expert classes.
Arleigh Hill, 54, was the only other rider to strike gold, claiming first in both the Cruiser and 20-inch classes. Third-place showings went to Jennifer Bitz, Landon Fitt, Richard Wood, Tanner Brown and Kevin Hill, who raced in the pro division. Xavier Bitz, racing in 7 Intermediate, not only scored a third place, but deserved bonus points for riding in one of the biggest classes of the day, with a whopping 13 racers in his age category alone. Keith Wood, in 46-50 cruiser, and pro rider Mani Kawaguchi

Shuswap Lake plan gets a financial shot in the arm BARB BROUWER Black Press
The Thompson Nicola Regional District is the first to step up to the plate, agreeing to support the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process to the tune of $53,000 per year. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 16 per cent of the $335,000 needed annually to keep SLIPP afloat. Ian McGregor, Ministry of Environment regional manager, made the funding request at a June 10 meeting with Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors from the Shuswap and chief administrative officers from the Thompson Nicola and North Okanagan regional districts. TNRD CAO Greg Toma says his board was sufficiently interested to direct him to carry on talks with SLIPP and the other two regional districts. Picking up the TNRD tab would be rural areas on both sides of the South Thompson, Chase, Kamloops and the Village of Ashcroft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sorted out the mechanics of how we would go about getting the funds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; parcel tax, per capita or based on assessment,â&#x20AC;? Toma says, noting that will happen only when CSRD and NORD agree to the cost-sharing process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been indicated is the amount of money is viable.â&#x20AC;? Toma says he recognizes that TNRDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution is small compared to the CSRD, perhaps making it easier to get public acceptance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We live downstream, we draw our water from the lakes and recognize the importance of protecting the water quality in the lake system,â&#x20AC;? he says. CSRD CAO Charles Hamilton says that in terms of keeping SLIPP alive, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a positive move, although he too cites the difference in funding requirements, with CSRD having to pick up 64 per cent or $214,000 of the total costs and NORD coughing up 20 per cent or $67,000 annually. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be following up with a note to Ian McGregor of SLIPP.

whether NORD is in or out,â&#x20AC;? he says. While there was
general agreement on the cost-sharing, how to apportion the costs
within regional district boundaries is another matter.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Time is of the essence if the idea is to have funding in place by
2011, we need to get a service establishment bylaw in place and we
have to decide how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna get the money,â&#x20AC;? he said.

4HE BUZZ BEGINS FOR +OMASKET
KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a flurry of activity with the sound of hammers pounding on wood and cell phones ringing at Komasket Park. Devaki Thomas surveys the land along the westside of Okanagan Lake that will soon become a sea of people groovinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to music from around the world. Two stages are being set up in the circular kekuli, where people can sit under the shaded stands or dance and hula hoop to their heartsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; content in the open-air area normally used by the Okanagan Indian Band for powwow gatherings. Just north of the kekuli, people will wander through the vendor and food alley, hawking everything from handmade drums to smoothies, to a circus-like tent where families will indulge in some fine entertainment. Turn one way, and visitors might catch a whiff of the Morrocan shisha tent. (Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tobacco in those hookahs. This is a drug and alcohol free event after all.) Many will opt to hit the enticing cool waters at the beach, or walk through the tipi village where the artists stay. With one more week to go before the Komasket Music Festival gates open, artistic director Thomas says she and her office crew have been fielding calls from all over the province with people interested in attending this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our crew is ready, people are pumped, (and) the buzz is palpable,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding organizers are vamping up every area of the festival, especially the front gate to avoid long lineups, as well as overflow camping and parking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year we are expanding our workshops, KidZone, hours of live music and dance and camping area. There will be vendors from every corner, 13 international food vendors, visuals added to the stages and a brand new main stage.â&#x20AC;? And with any music festival, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the performers that people are excited about seeing and hearing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have three stages, KidZone, over 15 workshops and over 40 acts,â&#x20AC;? said Thomas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The jam stage was a huge hit last year, bringing bands together to collaborate on the spot and we plan to continue this for the 2010 festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also, word on the street is people canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe The Wailers are coming.â&#x20AC;? Besides the only Canadian date for the Jamaican legends who once backed Bob Marley, a number of other known acts are

Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainer Fred Penner sings some of his most famed songs at the KidZone stage at the ninth annual Komasket Music Festival July 30 to Aug. 1. scheduled to perform. Kids of all ages are expected to smile as Canadian legend Fred Penner plays the KidZone tent both the Saturday and Sunday. Known for his live performances and his childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s television show, Pennerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solo musical career was launched after releasing his now classic album, The Cat Came Back, in 1979. The Order of Canada recipient has released numerous albums since, including 2008â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Where in the World, playing to packed houses of children and parents all over North America. Headlining Friday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mountain Stage is genre-defying, dance-roots duo OKA. Hailing from the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, Australia, the band features
didgeridoo master Stu Boga Fergie, whose Aborigine elders gave him with the name DidgeriStu as a child, multi-instrumentalist Chris Lane and a guest percussionist or two. Voted as the top five most memorable bands at last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Quebec City Summer Festival, OKA plays tribal music for the digital age, while keeping their spiritual melodies pure. OKA is also scheduled to take the One World Jam stage with Bocephus King and Kia Kadiri Saturday. Taking the Mountain stage Saturday before headlining act The Wailers is Canadian aboriginal group Digging Roots. With their last studio album, 2009â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s We Are, co-produced by Komasket regular Kinnie Starr, earning the award for best
aboriginal recording at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Junoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, the Ontario-based quartet continues to build on the strength of its live sound with carefully crafted songs, tight studio arrangements and soulful performances. Digging Roots will also take the One World jam stage with local soca leaders Samsara, Sunday. Also on Sunday, Cuba-by-way-ofSmithers singer-songwriter-guitarist Alex Cuba takes the Mountain stage before headliners Delhi 2 Dublin. After a stint with his twin brother, Adonis, as The Puentes Brothers, Cuba departed from Cuban music norms to follow his own path. His debut CD with the Alex Cuba Band, Humo De Tabaco, earned him a Juno award for world music album in 2006, and his last CD, Agua Del Pozo, won the same award in 2008. Cuba also recently collaborated with Nelly Furtado for her Spanish language album, Mi Plan, and his third self-titled album, a groove-laden listening experience punctuated by his signature soulful vocals and guitar wizardry, was just released last month. The guitarist is expected to be joined by his family at Komasket, including his father who was once the head of the Conservatory of Music in Cuba.

Metal band rips it up in Armstrong Described as Judas Priest on steroids, Vancouver-based metal band Omega Crom is thrashing its way to Armstrong for a night of ear-bleeding mayhem. Part of Vancouver’s underground metal scene for many years, the band plays its own genre of “ripping metal,” a progressive blend of power metal with elements of aggressive death, shred and thrash. The origin of Omega Crom’s name springs from Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian, said front man Johnny Ketlo, who is admittedly a long time fan of Howard’s novels and Marvel Comics. “Crom is the Cimmerian god of steel and slayer of giants. Omega means the final and eternal, the end,” he said. “Omega Crom is
the ultimate extremity of Crom and a signal to termination.” The band’s Terminator-meets-viking warrior sound combines punchy rhythms, contrasting patches of melodic, clean guitar, ripping solos, flowing harmonies, intense bass guitar attacks, alongside relentless double kick thrash beats punctuated with inventive rolls and blast beats. An Omega Crom show usually features over-the-top showmanship from shot gunning beers, excessive head banging and intense bass and guitar solos, said Ketlo. Omega Crom’s debut album, Blood, Steel and Fire, was produced in collaboration with Juno award winning engineer Rob Shallcross and features guitar-driven songs blended with diverse vocal styling from high

Arts Director/actor create magic The Sorcerer's Apprentice ★★★1/2 out of 5

The result is a film with a lot of cool visual effects (I especially liked the dragon coming to life and stomping around the Big Apple’s Chinatown district), but doesn’t allow its assortment of toys ‘n’ tricks to take away from its winsome appeal. This is mostly eye candy, yes, and when you boil it all down, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice doesn’t have a whole lot of depth, yet, it’s a surprisingly pleasant sit. You’ll like these characters, and once again, congrats Mr. director on serving up the Cage we do like, which in turn, will probably have you liking the film.

Stats show B.C. crime rate decline biggest in country Morning Star Staff
The new Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics (CCJS) report on 2009 incidents of police-reported crime show that B.C. has the largest decline in crime rates and crime severity of all the provinces and territories in Canada. However, Victoria acknowledges that continued, targeted policing is still needed in communi-
ties where combatting gangs and guns remains a priority, said Solicitor General Mike de Jong. “In almost every corner of the province we’re seeing the number of crimes (down six per cent) and their severity (down nine per cent) decline, demonstrating that integrated policing strategies and additional dedicated investigative
and prosecutorial resources is working to make communities safer,” said de Jong. “Building on the premier’s seven-point plan to tackle gang crime, the province strengthened integrated policing and prosecution resources to build iron-clad cases resulting in more guilty pleas and more convictions. We’ve seen
success already this year,” said de Jong. “The record-low homicide numbers in Vancouver are being reinforced with a greater number of gangsters behind bars. Of six homicides in the city so far this year charges have been laid in four of them, compared to last year’s 20 murders with charges laid
in just four cases.” Other important safety and security indicators from the CCJS report demonstrate that: ■ Violent crime - including homicides - declined one per cent in B.C., the same as the national trend. ■ B.C. property crime rates dropped nine per cent, compared to national
declines of five per cent. ■ Other Criminal Code traffic violations are down 10 per cent, while impaired is up by 18 per cent, bringing an overall rise to the rate of Criminal Code traffic violations of 11 per cent. This reflects a national increase and proactive targeting of these offences.

Old boyfriend begins stalking
D
ear Annie: Six months ago, I ran into a friend from high school. She mentioned an old girlfriend of mine, “Liz.” Over the years, I have thought of Liz often, wondering how she was, if she was happy, how much she may have changed and that sort of thing. She was my first true love and the one that got away. It’s been many years since I’ve seen or spoken to her, although I know she is married with college-age children, as am I. My problem is, since talking with my friend, I have not been able to get Liz off my mind. I think about her when I get up in the morning and when I’m at work, and I often fall asleep with her in my head. I now know where she lives and works and what her home phone number is. We don’t live that far apart, and I always thought it would be nice to sit down together and find

We were not raised this way, but Ashley has isolated herself from us. Could you please give me some advice before she does something she’ll truly regret? — Worried Dear Worried: If she hasn’t regretted cheating on her husband, neglecting her children and ending up in jail, we can’t imagine what she’s waiting for. We think Ashley is immature and needs time to grow up. She married too young, had kids when she was a child herself and is now rebelling against her life. If the children are at risk, report it to the child welfare authorities. Otherwise, tell Ashley you are always available if she needs you, but beyond that, she has to work this
Parkinson’s tour stops in Vernon Morning Star Staff
The Just Giver Team for Parkinson’s, made up of 12 riders, will stop at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre parking lot Wednesday at 11 a.m. as part of their 1,300K cycling tour to raise funds for research and support services for the 11,000 people living with Parkinson’s in B.C. In 2006, cyclists Kelly Jablonski and Branko Radmilovic organized the first Just Giver for Parkinson’s tour and rode their bikes from Vancouver to Osoyoos. Since its inception, the Just Giver for Parkinson’s team has raised $186,000. One of the cyclists, Marc Bowles from Penticton, is riding for his father who lives with Parkinson’s and for his uncle who had Parkinson’s. Bowles and the team will be welcomed by the Vernon Parkinson’s Support Group and the public is invited to come and meet them. Just Giver riding memorabilia will be for sale, and donations toward Parkinson’s research will be gratefully accepted. Parkinson’s disease is the second most common chronic neurological disorder after Alzheimer’s. Symptoms include tremors, rigidity, slowness of movement, impaired balance and depression. It is a debilitating disease that can strike young and old, and men and women of all racial and

Funding for research comes from individual donors and members, corporations, foundations and volunteers. It is interesting to note that people with Parkinson’s who often “freeze” and have difficulty initiating movement are able to cycle as well as those with no movement disorders.

out on her own. Sorry. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Help,” whose husband leaves all the cabinets open. I can do her one better. My husband leaves the back door open — even in the winter at night. One time when he was making a new laundry room for me, I counted 13 times that he came and went, and he never once closed the back door. For good measure, he also leaves the dryer and microwave doors open with the interior lights burning. This is my second marriage, and I keep telling myself that this one is so wonderful in every other way, the least I can do is close all the doors when he’s done building me a new room. — Canada Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers col-

The Beauty of Holiness Holiness: Beauty is the outshining of inner character which makes sackcloth look beautiful. Holiness is righteousness of character as a result of fellowship with God. Jehsoshaphat (2 Chron. 20:21) appointed an army of singing priests, praising the Beauty of Holiness - the beauty of acceptable worship in their hearts, minds and walk.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) There’s a chance you could get caught in your own nets today when trying to defend a position. When explaining your thinking, you might end up proving the other person’s point.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A lack of exercise could be the culprit if you are now feeling somewhat sluggish. Deliberately engage in something physically vigorous in order to circulate energy throughout your entire system.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Just remember, when you fib, somewhere down the line you will be called upon to repeat your statement, which is generally impossible, because what isn’t based in fact isn’t easily recalled.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Unless you are on guard, you might absentmindedly be inclined to be excessive in your habits, which include eating, drinking or even being sedentary. Make moderation your byword today.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) This is not a good day to take any financial risk, neither with your own funds or those of others. In both instances, Lady Luck is likely to be looking out for someone else’s interests and not yours.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Do not spring unusual situations or conditions on others today that have not been previously discussed and agreed upon. It could quickly jam up the pipeline and create problems for all.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) When you see that others are just as adamant about their opinions as you are yours, forget about trying to impose your views or opinions on them. Nothing but frustration will come of it if you do try.

The year ahead is the time to strengthen your resolve for accomplishing something you’ve long nurtured. Anything you put your hand or mind to and give your best effort will succeed in ways you never thought possible.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Without thinking and without being asked you could have a tendency to tell others what to do and how to do it today. Needless to say, you are likely to be met with tremendous resistance and lot of snubs. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) If your sales resistance is a bit low at this point in time, caution must be taken when going shopping. Chances are you’ll come home with a loaded credit card and nothing you need. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Keep in mind that you are a likable person who your friends accept for what and who you are, so don’t try to put on any pretentious airs. All that would do is make you very unpopular. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You might think that embellishing the facts will make your listeners more attentive and hang on your every word, but the opposite is likely to occur. Others will feel that they are being had. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) If you are appreciative of your present circumstances, this is likely to be a very pleasant day for you. If you should begin to envy others, you will only make yourself miserable.
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.

Bridge by Phillip Alder You can surely guess which fictional character said this: “I never guess. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.” South’s three-spade overcall showed a decent seven-card suit and 5-10 high-card points. At favorable vulnerability and with a void, he might have even jumped to four spades. North then raised to four spades, hoping for the best. (North’s trumps were great, and he had two aces and two kings, but his 4-3-3-3 distribution was a negative.) West led the diamond queen. How did South plan
the play? East rated to have the club ace, so rather than try to guess which opponent held the heart queen, declarer saw that he could get the defenders to find that card for him. After ruffing at the first trick, South played a spade to dummy, ruffed a diamond, returned to dummy with another trump, and ruffed the last diamond. Finally, he cast adrift with a club. The defenders took three tricks in the suit, but what then? If they shifted to a heart, it would find the queen for South. If instead they led a minor-suit card, declarer would ruff in one hand and discard a heart from the other. In either case, he would be provided
with his 10th trick. The fictional character was Sherlock Holmes, who has been used as a character in bridge stories, most notably by Frank Thomas. He would have made a good bridge player, as long as he could keep it sensibly simple for his partners, especially Dr. Watson.

With sadness we announce the passing of Marie “Dagmar” Madeleine Hermane Collette Ghislaine Kilpatrick July 18, 2010 at Heritage Square Nursing Home in Vernon, BC.

Following business school, she became a Medical Stenographer for the Victoria General Hospital then returned to Vernon where she met and married her charismatic husband, Ron, in 1950. They “spawned” four children before relocating to Seattle, WA then to Coquitlam, BC and finally back to Vernon, BC again in 1969. During retirement years residing at Big Chief Mobile Home Park, they enjoyed entertaining and a colourful social life.

Herbert “Herbie” Frank Kutschner July 19th, 2010 our “chosen son” lost his battle against Down’s syndrome and Alzheimer’s at the age of 60. He had spent many years in institutions, and then came to live with John & Darlene Nordquist 35 years ago. It was there that he found great friendships, love and an extended family of people who he cherished. He will be missed by his good buddy, Ray. He loved camping, helping John & Mommy around the house, going to Venture where he made many friendships and spending time with his best friend Ken. We would like to thank the hospital staff, Community Living and anyone else who touched Herbie’s life. Rest in peace, Monkey! The Nordquist & Campbell Families
PRE-HST SAVINGS
EXTENDED The Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) came into effect on July 1, increasing the cost of funerals by 7%. In many cases, this amounts to an increase of $500 or more. While we assisted hundreds of families with their prearrangements prior to the July 1 deadline, many others were unable to complete their plans before the HST became effective. We’re happy to announce that Dignity Memorial funeral homes are extending the pre-HST savings - but only for a limited time. By planning ahead you will: • Relieve your family of the emotional and financial burden an unplanned funeral can cause • Prevent emotional overspending • Lock in prices at today’s rate TM

Geoffrey Arthur Hayman It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden death of Geoffrey Arthur Hayman at his home in Vernon, British Columbia on July 14, 2010 at the age of 65 years. Geoff was born and raised in Windsor, Ontario and, after receiving a B.Sc. from the University of Windsor, taught high school in Amherstburg, Kingsville, Schrieber and Sault Ste Marie Ontario. While in the Sault, Geoff completed his M.Ed in Guidance and Counseling at The University of Toronto. After teaching for thirteen years, Geoff returned to the University of Windsor and completed his LL.B. This career change was the perfect opportunity to head west. Geoff chose to Article in Vernon at Davidson and Company. He then practiced law in Kelowna at Porter & Boon. The plan was to practice law, but Geoff loved teaching and agreed to take on an evening Law class at Okanagan College. That decision lead to a twenty-five year career teaching Law, Science and Mathematics to Adult Basic Education students at the Kalamalka Campus. Geoff appreciated the courage and sacrifices made by those students determined to improve their position in life. The most rewarding aspect of this process was when Geoff would meet former students who had reached their goals. He was proud of their achievement. His years at Okanagan College were enriched by the staff he worked with and the students he felt privileged to teach. Geoff was an avid model railroad enthusiast and member of the North Okanagan Model Railroad Association. He enjoyed “chasing” and photographing trains and participating in NOMRA activities. Geoff valued the friendships he developed through his hobby. He also shared his love of trains with his grandson, Maxwell. Geoff placed his family at the top of his priority list and was a loving and supportive husband, father and grandfather. He will always be in the hearts of his wife Jan, children “Gary” David Edgar, Alison (Richard Kicksee), Gregory, Karen (Mark Sprague), grandchildren Maxwell and Elizabeth Kicksee, brother David (Mary Ann) Hayman, Sault Ste Marie Ont., sister Mary Lou (Jim) Coffey, Chesley Ont., and Brother-in-law Edgar Arthur Hayman, Victoria BC. Donations in Geoff’s memory may be made to the Okanagan College Foundation - Geoff Hayman Fund, established to assist students who are returning to school to upgrade their academic skills.

Project Description: The project, located in Vernon, British Columbia, generally consists of the construction of a replacement Secondary School adjacent to the existing school. This proposed new three storey school located to the south east of the existing school is approx. 10,358 m2 (plus 4,564m2 basement). It includes 19 classrooms, 6 science rooms, 2 art rooms, a teaching kitchen, theatre, music room, library, 3 shops, gymnasium, and multi-purpose space, etc. The placement of the new school will allow the current school to function during the construction period. After the new school is complete and occupied the remainder of the existing school will undergo abatement for hazardous materials and then demolished followed by the Âżnal site works. The primary building materials are smooth face concrete masonry unit veneer and metal panel. There will be plazas at the north and south entrances. The site will be re-graded to accommodate two new soccer Âżelds, a baseball diamond, basketball and volleyball areas and a horizontal geothermal Âżeld.
