Murder victim remembered fondly ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A family friend will remember Nathan Mayrhofer as a fun-loving guy with a zest for life. Mayrhofer, 32, from Lumby, was identified by Vernon RCMP Wednesday as the person found dead in a third-floor apartment at the Villacare Place Apartments on 33rd Avenue on the evening of Aug. 5. His body had been dismembered. Mayrhofer was confirmed as the victim after a forensic autopsy took two days to complete in Kamloops. “I’ve been talking about him so much since we found out. Nathan wouldn’t hurt a fly,” said the friend, who wished to remain anonymous. “He had lots of friends. He was a great, fantastic uncle to his niece and nephews, riding bikes with them, playing on the
“He was a great, fantastic uncle.” — Family Friend trampoline. He was just an easy-going guy, a free spirit who loved people. He had a special way of connecting with them. He was a good listener, too.” A former employee of Okanagan Spring Brewery, Mayrhofer had spent the past couple of years working up north in the mining industry. He was in the Okanagan visiting family and friends at the time of his death. The friend said Mayrhofer was slated to fly to Alaska Aug. 8 to start a new job. “The family is holding up in waves,” said the friend.

“He had a younger brother, they’re only a year apart and they were like twins. He was really shaken up. He didn’t even talk. His sister came in from Slocan and she’s not doing too well.” A memorial service is set for Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Eagles Hall for Mayrhofer. Police are still being tight-lipped on the details surrounding Mayrhofer’s death. “As has been previously stated, this is a complex case to investigate,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “The case involved dismemberment of the body, the victim was identified only after the autopsy was conducted. Investigators have been in contact with the victim’s family throughout this investigation.” The accused, Kenneth Barter, 37, is undergoing a 30-day psychiatric remand. Barter is expected to make his next court appearance on Sept. 9.

BIG RISK FOR LOCAL CAR DEALER PAYS OFF FOR CUSTOMERS off huge for our customers! They get to buy a pre-owned vehicle at the previous markets price.” Plain and simple, this means you get to save money!
ADVERTORIAL
“Basically what happens is our customers shell out less money to get a great pre-owned vehicle which means they have more money for the things that count” claims Westwell.
Here are a few facts - as of June 30th, 2010 the used car market in Canada was down 40% in retail sales. This drove down the wholesale & trade-in price of used vehicles across the country. As car dealers started to panic because their inventory wasn’t selling they sent it to auctions, and sold them to other dealers and wholesalers. Much like the stock market when people start dumping stock the value goes down. Vernon Dodge decided they would buy up as much of this inventory as they could, betting the used car market would increase in the 3rd quarter of 2010.
“This gives us a great opportunity to sell our current inventory at rock bottom prices and set an all time sales record.”
Hurry in to Vernon Dodge for the best selection because once these units sell we will be replacing them with units bought at todays prices.
“Basically what happens is our customers shell out less money to get a great pre-owned vehicle which means they have more money for the things that count.”
The used car market has bounced back in Canada for the second half of 2010 sending dealers scrambling to buy used vehicles driving up the wholesale price which in turn drives up the retail price for customers. Many dealers are paying the same price for used vehicles at wholesale as Vernon Dodges customers are paying at retail. This means Vernon Dodge customers are buying vehicles at or below current market average.
“These are real market conditions” exclaims Westwell. “The moon and stars aligned and everyone gets to take advantage of it. We put all of our eggs in one basket based on B.C.’s economic condition earlier on in the year” explains Brian. “Other dealers were scared to step up and buy as much inventory as we did, but it has paid

With the recent correction to the used vehicle market Vernon Dodge has experienced a rare shift in used vehicle inventory. Due to the fact that we went out and aggressively purchased used vehicles when the used market was down we now have a massive selection of used vehicles that are priced well below industry average. “This gives us a great opportunity” says Brian Westwell, General Sales Manager at Vernon Dodge “to sell our current inventory at rock bottom prices and set an all time sales record”. This is a great chance for anyone who is thinking of getting into a pre-owned vehicle. Pair these rock bottom prices with historically low interest rates and you save money all the way around.

Soaking up the sun at Greater Vernon beaches will come with a message about the dangers of smoking. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee has agreed that when existing signage at beaches is replaced, information regarding a no smoking/tobacco ban will be included. While no smoking is not permitted at parks and recreation facilities, director Mike Macnabb questions why there Mike Macnabb is a need to push the issue at beaches. “We’re not in the social engineering business,� he said. “We can’t control human nature. There will always be a section of the population that says they want to smoke wherever they want.� Staff acknowledge they don’t have the resources to enforce a no smoking ban on beaches and that concerns director Mike Gavinchuk. “To put a sign up and do nothing about it isn’t right,� he said. Staff made the recommendation to install signage about smoking after a request was received from the Canadian Cancer Society. A 47-name petition was also submitted asking for a tobacco ban on beaches.

The City of Vernon is joining the fight against Ottawa over the census. Council will fire a letter off to the federal government demanding that the long-form census be reinstated. “According to all of the experts, including our own economic development officer, they get a lot of information from the census,” said Coun. Bob Spiers. “Without it, the data won’t be as accurate.” Federal officials have stated the mandatory long form contains information that is intrusive on Canadians’ lives, but Spiers doesn’t believe that Bob Spiers is enough reason to completely scrap the census process. “Perhaps the questions could be changed but to do away with the mandatory aspect of it, makes it less effective,” he said. The lone opposition to writing Ottawa is Coun. MaryJo O’Keefe. Colin Mayes “The long-form census has a lot of information that is private,” she said. O’Keefe also takes issue with Canadians being forced under law to fill out the census, and if they don’t possibly facing jail time or fines. “Citizens shouldn’t be mandated to sign the long form,” she said. Kevin Poole, economic development officer, believes Vernon’s planning initiatives could suffer if the long-form census is scrapped. “Without the long form, we don’t have access to labour force data. We also can’t get information on income levels,” he said. “Without it, it will be difficult for communities to determine what their strengths and weaknesses are economically.” Poole says many companies consider census data when looking for towns to invest in. “A company wants to compare apples to apples between communities,” he said. “They want the data to be the same and the majority of the data comes from the long-form census.” MP Colin Mayes defends the government’s actions. “The issue for us is there are threatening messages on the forms. If you don’t fill them out, you could be jailed or fined,” he said. “We don’t want to make it compulsory.” Mayes believes shifting from a mandatory to voluntary form could prove beneficial for collecting statistics. “There may be a better response if we’re not being aggressive,” he said. Mayes also says that he isn’t hearing from constituents about the issue. “I’ve got about three e-mails on it. If all we’re doing wrong as a government is the census form, then we’re doing a good job,” he said. On Wednesday, the federal government announced that two questions revolving around languages will be added to the short-form census, and legislation will be introduced eliminating the prospect of jail time for people who don’t fill out mandatory surveys.

Parties head back to the table RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Talks are expected to resume in Greater Vernon’s ongoing water dispute. Vernon, Coldstream and the two electoral areas have all indicated they are willing to negotiate an end to the conflict over distribution. “Hopefully something will happen with water,” said Jim Garlick, Coldstream mayor, Vernon has attempted to withdraw from the distribution function but the other partners have pushed to keep the service together.
“Hopefully something will happen.” — Jim Garlick Garlick says Coldstream still prefers to have regional water distribution, but is willing to consider letting Vernon withdraw. “You get tired of beating your head against the wall so you say, ‘What’s the second option?’ We’re trying to be good partners,” he said.
“What’s being considered here is saving dollars from legal costs.” If negotiations are successful, all four jurisdictions could become responsible for distribution while water supply would remain a joint function. But Garlick says Coldstream will only
sit down at the table if some conditions are met, including a commitment to separate residential water needs from agricultural and ensuring water from various sources can be accessed and moved around. “That’s what the original master water plan called for,” he said. Wayne Lippert, Vernon mayor, hopes all of the parties can work together and resolve the dispute. “I always want to find solutions,” he said, adding that the city would require a bind-

Besides the four local jurisdictions, Lippert wants the provincial government involved in the process because it is considering legislation that would allow distribution and supply to be separate functions. “The province is looking at going in a direction that all parties agreed to in 2006 and 2007,” he said.

B.C.’s first case of West Nile virus in a crow is in the Okanagan. Officials disclosed Thursday that a dead crow from the University of B.C. campus area of Kelowna has tested positive for the virus. “This positive confirmation of WNV activity does not come as a surprise,” said Dr. Rob Parker, medical health officer with the Interior Health Authority. “Since the disease was confirmed both in mosquito pools in the South Okanagan and in two human cases in the same area last August, we knew it was not a matter of if West Nile would appear elsewhere in the Interior Health region, but rather when.” The bird was tested as part of a routine surveillance, followed by subsequent confirmatory testing at the B.C. Centre for Disease Control. The virus is spread by mosquitoes that have fed on an infected bird. The disease can sicken people, horses, many types of birds and other animals. It is not spread from crows to other animals or people. As the surveillance system can only detect the virus once it has moved into a new area, since last summer medical health officers have been warning all Okanagan residents to take precautions against mosquito bites and WNV. The virus is transmitted to humans and birds through bites from infected mosquito, and its spread over larger geographic areas tends to be associated with bird migration patterns. It was thought there would eventually be spread of the virus northward up the Okanagan Valley, but the speed and extent of that spread are unpredictable, said Parker. IHA will continue to collect mosquitoes for test-

No matter how tough the challenge...
Fonyo remains in jail DAN FERGUSON Black Press
An emotional Lisa Greenwood stood outside Surrey Provincial Court Tuesday morning, tears running down her face as she spoke to reporters about the decision that will keep her fiancé Steve Fonyo in jail for another nine days. “It’s not fair,” Greenwood said, wiping her eyes. A Surrey provincial court judge set bail at $20,000 payable in advance for Fonyo, the 45-year-old former Vernon resident who became famous when he ran across Canada in 1985 to raise money for cancer research. Fonyo, who doesn’t have that kind of money, will remain in custody at the Surrey Pretrial Services Centre until his next court appearance on Aug. 19. The decision is more bad news for Greenwood and Fonyo, who were planning to get married on Aug. 28 in Victoria at the beach that bears his name. It was there that Fonyo, who lost a leg to cancer at age 12, ended his epic cross-Canada journey that raised $13 million for cancer research. Following the bail decision, Greenwood wasn’t sure if the wedding will go ahead. “I have no idea,” she said. “I don’t know what I’m going to do. I’m just kind of in limbo.” She said Fonyo feels “pretty horrible” about his arrest for alleged credit card fraud, but she insists he will be able to explain himself. “He always says there

Steve Fonyo appeared in Surrey Provincial Court Tuesday. are two sides to every story,” she said. Her husband-to-be was arrested last week for allegedly using a bogus credit card at a North Delta gas station three times. He’s been charged with one count of unauthorized use of a credit card. Fonyo lawyer Mani Sandhu said the unusually high bail amount appeared to be a response to his client’s “extensive” criminal record and outstanding charges. Fonyo is facing trial on a number of other, unrelated matters that include alleged possession of stolen property, being in a stolen vehicle, driving while suspended and breach of probation. Fonyo’s well-publicized struggles with alcohol and cocaine
resulted in the stripping of his Order of Canada medal earlier this year. Greenwood said she was surprised to hear about the outstanding charges, but she defended Fonyo, saying he hasn’t been convicted on many of the matters mentioned during the bail hearing. “It made him sound
like a horrible person when he hasn’t been in trouble for a long time,” she said. “It was just really unfair of them to bring up a lot of the past. I didn’t think it was necessary.” Greenwood herself finished serving a short jail sentence for shoplifting last month. The first attempt at arranging a wedding for Fonyo and Greenwood fell apart after a group of Vancouver Island businesses who offered to cater the wedding learned about Greenwood’s conviction and pulled their support. Greenwood said her case was the result of a past bad relationship and she has “dealt with it” by serving her sentence. Since then, a retired florist from Saanich, Norma Fitzsimmons, has stepped in to fill the gap with donations from other businesses. Greenwood told reporters she was “basically homeless” because a deal to rent a new home in Surrey fell through after the pair moved in at the beginning of the month.

Festival fever hits B.C.
I
t’s that time of year again –– the sights, the sounds, the whiff of funny smelling smoke with a side order of djembe and Jamba Juice. There’s nothing quite like a summer music festival in our glorious province. And I’ve been to a fair share of them. I don’t know what attracts me most to those harbingers of dust and delirium. Well, I guess it’s the music. It certainly isn’t standing in line with unwashed, sweaty people to use those blue-hued port-o-potties with the small bottle of Kristin Froneman hand sanitizer. Or trying to dance along with all those dreadlocked neo-hippies wearing rawhide tunics, hula hooping to their hearts’ content as if in some dazed trance. I mean, c’mon, make some room, sista... This summer has brought on the buzz and bliss of a number of festivals, starting with Funtastic on Canada Day weekend, where I caught a band from my “day,” Spirit of the West, and others caught a band from their “day,” that being Nazareth. All I can say is there was nothing like stomping around to anthem Home for a Rest with a large throng of beer-soaked slo-pitch players. They don’t call it Funtastic for nothing, people. The August long weekend brought on one of my favourite fests: Komasket. One of a few festivals in this country that takes place on First Nations territory, it really does welcome the world, and families in particular, to the Okanagan Indian Band’s land normally used for powwow gatherings. There people gather to walk among the artist teepees, enjoy a salmon barbecue, soak in the lake, bang on an African djembe drum in the vendors’ alley, all while enjoying some of the best music from this province and beyond in the cool kekuli stadium. It truly is an experience. And this year, The

Wailers (yes the band that once backed the late, great Bob Marley) had us enraptured. It was truly One Love, baby. This past weekend, I attended one of the cleanest, and greenest, festivals I have been ever been to, and it’s right here in the city I call home. Vernon’s Rarearth Music Fest (they’ve dropped the jazz and blues moniker as the music goes beyond those genres) is set on the lush, manicured lawn at the Kin Race Track. With its mantra to cut out most plastics, the festival is virtually garbage-free. And if anything gets left on the ground, a pair of volunteers are there, almost instantly, to pick it up. The only crying shame about this festival, at least what I observed on Sunday, was there were just not enough people there to soak it in. The music had a wide appeal –– from the sunny, beach tunes of the very charismatic Andrew Allen, to one of the best female blues singers around, Rita Chiarelli, to some local, young talent that literally blew my sandals off –– but hardly anyone was there. Pity. It could be the timing. The festival is stuck between the nearby Komasket and Salmon Arm’s Roots and Blues, and people only have so much money to go around. But I really hope the organizers can keep face, and the faith, for all of our sakes. Next year, get your bootie down to Rarearth. It will be worth it. Festival fever isn’t over yet. This weekend, Roots and Blues heads into its 18th year. The festival has seen quite a few changes, namely growth and the departure of its long-standing artistic director Linda Tanaka in 2008, but it still manages to deliver one of the most satisfying weekends of music around. This year Canadian-Somalian hip hop troubadour K-Naan is being joined by the likes of Martha Wainwright doing an ode to Edith Piaf, U.K. folk guitar legend Joan Armatrading and The Tragically Hip’s spastic singer Gord Downie. And if that isn’t a wide mix, I don’t know what is. I’ve got my low-back lawn chair, sun tan lotion, and extra bottle of hand sanitizer ready to go.
The petition against the HST has been ruled a success but Elections B.C. is afraid to step on any legal mine fields. The agency will not pass on the petitioners’ proposed bill to a legislative committee — the next step in the process. It is important to keep several things in mind. First, the petition drive is an historic victory in Canada for direct democracy. Second, Elections B.C. is an non-partisan agency, and the chief electoral officer, Craig James, is there in an acting capacity. There are several things that can happen. The provincial government can bypass James’ concerns and take the proposed bill straight to committee, and eventually vote on it in the legislature. It is not obliged to sit on the proposed bill simply because of James’ caution. The government can also ask James to explain his reasoning more clearly. His lack of an explanation is baffling and makes people cynical about the democratic process It is also possible that the two lawsuits that are the ostensible cause of the holdup be withdrawn. One is on the legality of the HST law. Initiated by Bill Vander Zalm, the proponent of the petition, it would certainly be withdrawn if necessary. The second lawsuit was brought in at the last minute by a coalition of business groups who back the HST. Their continued blocking of the petition by use of the courts will be seen by the public as an attempt to circumvent democracy. Finance Minister Colin Hansen said Thursday that the government wants to see the proposed legislation go to the committee as soon as possible. It has a number of means at its disposal to do just that. — Langley Times

Racing event fabulous
C
ongratulations to the Okanagan Equestrian Society and its outstanding group of volunteers for hosting the 117th year of horse races at Kin Race Track. The hundreds of visitors of all ages attending the running of the Vernon Cup received entertainment, physical and mind-challenging exercise for the bargain entrance price of $3 per adult. This historic jewel of joining the community and agriculture together must be preserved at the present site. It is a real tragedy that NORD and the City of Vernon have not included retaining the racing track in future redevelopment proposals for the Kin Race Track property. Kin Race Track horse racing days embrace all age groups.
COMMUNITY SUPPORT I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the support shown our recent Vernon Community Golf Days and ProAm, although, I would like to offer some cleanup. Your recent news article (paraphrased) — "$20,000 to a charity from a pro am is unheard of in these days," points out what a unique project our recent Vernon Community Golf Days really was. To this end, I would like to clarify some of the facts. First, and most importantly, the members of Vernon Golf and Country Club contributed every tee time for both Sunday and Monday to the event, at no charge. All money received from Sunday’s Vernon Community Golf Days and Monday’s pro-am were directed to the general fund. On Sunday, we had more than 150 golfers attempting to win four hole-in-ones worth an aggregate value of more than $50,000. After golf, a hamburger and soda were offered for a donation. Once again, sponsors had been arranged by VGCC. All money was contributed to the Vernon Jubilee Foundation. Many local firms contributed to make the Sunday a remark-
This is a form of recreation we need — people outside in the fresh air, networking, having fun with friends, meeting new
able value. Carts were provided and the afore-mentioned holein-one prizes arranged for. Every hole was sponsored by one of our local companies. All of this was arranged by our partners in the event, Kalamalka Rotary. It was possible for a person to golf 18 holes at VGCC, including a cart and lunch, for under $60. That same person would receive a tax deductible receipt from the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundaiton for $50. So in the end, the pro-am by itself, didn’t raise all of the money, but the weekend did. Next year, we will do even better. The cheque for $20,000 to Vernon Jubilee Hospital from Kalamalka Rotary and VGCC was the result and our committee’s goal. Thanks to all who participated and shared. We are looking forward to next year’s event. It will be a tremendous opportunity to participate in one of the best pro-ams in the valley or a chance to play in the Vernon Community Golf Days, or both. It will be a chance to play our great old course while contributing to our community. Thanks for your support. Come play with us next year. Mel Henderson and
people, walking the grounds to see the animals, cheering the excitement and learning about our agriculture community.
Brian Carpenter, Vernon Community Golf Day co-chairs OUR TURN Personally, I'm not a gambling man. If I were, I'd wager that neither Vernon's mayor nor any manager of Greater Vernon Water lives here in Country Club estate, up in the south end near the college. There are over 60 homes and our only access is via Reservoir Road. Last September, my wife and I prepared a petition to complete the surroundings and lands adjacent to the Mission Hill water treatment plant. The construction took place in 2006. With the exception of one gentleman who "never signs petitions," every resident of Country Club Estate whom we were able to contact signed. All agreed that, "This ugly, unfinished project detracts from and depreciates the value of all properties in the estate," quite apart from the annoyance of blowing dust. One witty observer suggested that we should also request that the address be changed from Reservoir Road to Dirt Pile Road. The petition was sent by registered mail to Greater Vernon Water and to our mayor, Wayne Lippert.
Funding could be directed to preserving the track, minor upgrades to provide viewing berms and picnic sites, and accommodation for seniors who would love the outdoor activities. The park should be dedicated to outdoor sports, with a continuous agricultural event link. A gymnastics facility or additional specialty indoor ice rink would be far more cost-effective if attached to new infrastructure projects, such as Vernon Secondary School. Remember our seniors who benefit from walking Kin Race Track park to look at the horses, verus a likely low participation rate and high risks trying to teach them to vault one indoors in a new gym. Peter von Hahn
Subsequently, a reply was received saying that there were problems regarding funds and contracts, etc. Now, yet another year later, the unsightly pile remains as does the blowing dust. It was noted back last year by a fellow resident, in regard to an article in The Morning Star, that funds, from whatever source, had been found just to improve the appearance of the highway up at Swan Lake. Since then, funds also appear to have been found to improve the other areas of Greater Vernon. So, when is it going to be our turn? Robin McLean-Foreman SENIOR SMARTS This is a story about two eggs. We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the seniors special was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $3.99. "Sounds good," my wife said. "But I don't want the eggs." "Then I'll have to charge you $4.49 because your ordering a la carte," the waitress warned her. "You mean I have to pay for not taking the eggs?" my wife asked incredulously. "Yes," stated the waitress. "I'll take the special then," my wife said. "How do you want your eggs?" the waitress asked.

Water supply in good shape RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Greater Vernon should make it through the rest of the summer with adequate water supply. The North Okanagan Regional District reports that while consumption has been steady recently, Duteau Creek upland reservoir levels are holding up. “We’re the third highest (for reservoir storage) in the last 12 years,” said Arnold Badke, general manager of engineering. It’s believed that between 600 to 1,200 megalitres of water a week is coming out of reservoirs to meet the needs of Greater Vernon residents. Based on those figures, the summer could end with 9,000 megalitres of water in storage.
“We expect high usage to continue for three weeks and then agricultural (customers) will be turned off and then usage will level off,” said Badke.
Badke credits a late start-up for agricultural customers and early conservation efforts for Greater Vernon having sufficient water supply right now.

Gilroy questions services RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
There are demands that Vernon go it alone on two functions. Coun. Jack Gilroy told his colleagues Monday that the city should get out of the North Okanagan Regional District’s Jaws of Life and fire training centre programs. “We’ve been asked by NORD to come up with functions we want to get out of,” he said. “It doesn’t work well with NORD. There’s too much bureaucracy.” City firefighters use the training centre about 16 times a year, and Gilroy says Vernon would be better off to rent the facility instead of paying $100,000 a year into the service and then a user-fee on top of that. “Since NORD took it over, they have screwed it up,” he said. “Every time we send a body there, it costs money.” However, the rest of council was not willing to consider leaving the functions until a staff review
“It doesn’t work well with NORD” — Jack Gilroy is conducted. “Before I make a decision, I’d like some analysis done on the costs and the potential consequences for taxpayers,” said Coun. Buffy Baumbrough. Coun. Patrick Nicol defends the fire training centre and believes the city should remain involved directly. “It’s been a real asset as established by the city,” he said. Nicol suggests Gilroy’s actions are linked to an ongoing dispute between Vernon and NORD over fire dispatch. “This is a knee-jerk reaction to recent events and that is a bad way to do policy,” he said.

Gleaning crops a success Morning Star Staff
The Salvation Army’s gleaning program has been a success in helping growers take care of extra produce and getting fresh fruit into food hampers for those in need. Already, six gleaning calls have been handled by the Salvation Army and volunteers have collected about 300 kilograms of tree fruit. It’s just the beginning in the opinion of community ministries director David MacBain as he hopes to push the total to more than a tonne by the end of the growing season. “While we are hoping to see a decrease in the need for our food bank services as the economy starts to improve, we continue to be taxed with the need to serve more,” said MacBain. At the Sun FM Christmas in July event, more than $2,600 and 1,400 kilograms of food was raised. There is still urgency at the food bank as donations tend to slow down after the calendar flips to the new year. MacBain said 3,000 individuals picked up goods from the food bank from January to July of this year. That represents at 14 per cent increase over the same time in 2009. “While we are delighted to help those in need, we continue to require an increase in community support,” said MacBain. Anyone wishing to donate can do so at the Salvation Army food bank at 3303 32nd Avenue. If you have produce you would like to give from
trees on your property, you can do so at the above address. If you require assistance in picking the fruit, the Salvation Army will send volunteers to do it. A third of the fruit will be left for growers, a third will go to the volunteer gleaners and a third will go to a local social service agency. Call Salvation Army gleaning co-ordinator Danielle Dueck at 250-307-7770 or reach her by e-mail at d_dueck7557@hotmail.com.

City to protect rail track RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The City of Vernon wants to ensure rail lines remain a critical part of the economy. Staff has been directed by council to look at protecting rail corridors in the official community plan. “Transportation corridors are important,” said Mayor Wayne Lippert, who supports the proposed changes to the OCP. “It signifies what the desig- Mary-Jo O’Keefe nated use is.” Communities throughout the North Okanagan are all considering protection of rail tracks largely because the future of the line between Spallumcheen and Sicamous is in doubt. Okanagan Valley Railway stopped operating the 13-kilometre, CP-owned line last summer, and there is concern CP may attempt to completely
Meters considered during workshop
abandon the track. Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe says the Spallumcheen to Sicamous line is important because it allows many businesses, and particularly those involved in in agriculture, to ship their products out or bring supplies in. “Many businesses believe that rail can save them significant dollars,” she said. “Those costs are passed on to our farmers.” Currently, the North Okanagan Regional District, local communities and the provincial government are working to try and preserve the track between Spallumcheen and Sicamous so a private company can operate it. “It’s very important that an expression of interest go forward (to CP),” said O’Keefe.

ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A workshop for the fall or winter is being planned by Armstrong council to see if installing water meters in the city is a good move. A recent alternate approval process that would have allowed the city to borrow the remaining $450,000 of the $750,000 price tag for the project was soundly defeated by residents. “We’ll set up a workshop with staff and review the whole thing,” said Mayor Chris Pieper. “We’ll look at the pros and cons of water meters.” Ten per cent of eligible voters were required to sign a petition to defeat the alternate approval process. The final count showed 442 people signed the petition, though 17 signees were rejected because there was no signature, duplicate signatures or they had property outside the city limits. The 425 verified signatures was significantly higher than the 10 per cent – 309 residents – required to defeat the request to borrow the money. Still, council is in favour of installing meters, said Pieper. “We want to review everything to see if it’s the right thing to do,” he added.

Resort hosts wine fest Morning Star Staff
A record number of wineries are scheduled to take part in what will be the last official event of the Okanagan Summer Wine Festival at Silver Star Mountain Resort. A total of 36 wineries will take part in Saturday’s progressive wine tasting event, marking the official end of Okanagan Summer Wine Festival’s nineyear run at the resort. Next year’s summer wine festival is planned to become a valley-wide event, with activities taking place in throughout the entire Okanagan in mid-July. “We’ve enjoyed hosting the wine festival at Silver Star and want to thank the Okanagan Wine Festival Society for all their hard work over the past nine years,” said Ian Galbraith, summer business manager at Silver Star.
Would you like to leave a gift to your community which goes on giving forever? CALL US AT 250.542.8677
Saturday’s progressive tasting event runs from 4 to 7 p.m. in the village, featuring 36 wineries, as well as live music and food. Galbraith, an avid wine enthusiast, expects to top last year’s total of more than 500 guests to the event. “Considering it’s the last event like this at Silver Star, it’s a good bet we can expect record crowds,” he said. Tickets are still available at Silver Star by calling the summer ticket office at 250-5586010. While the Okanagan Summer Wine Festival comes to a close at the resort, Galbraith confirms plans are in the works to build a new festival at the resort next year. “We want to showcase all Silver Star has to offer with food, wine, wildflowers, art and live music.”

Council shows interest in preserving rail line LACHLAN LABERE Black Press
Sicamous council continues to weigh the district’s options relating to the CPR line from Grindrod to Sicamous. With the federal government stating it’s not interested in purchasing the line, the district is now waiting to see if there’s interest at the provincial level in the community’s wish to acquire the line between Grindrod and Sicamous and turn it into a trail corridor. “We are waiting to hear back from the province, and for whatever reason, if they decide they don’t want any part in this we will decide what the next stage is,” said Alan Harris, district administrator. “I am hoping they show interest.” Coun. Lynn Miller questions what would happen if the province did not want to become involved. “Suppose it goes up for grabs,” she said. “Do we have the right to ask that the section throughout our community has restrictions?” By acquiring the line from Sicamous to Grindrod, Harris said the municipality would be able to put restrictions on the line. It would also provide infrastructure opportunities, Harris continued. Not only would it assist in water and sewer line upgrades on the west side of the channel, but the rail line would also be beneficial for upgrading the existing bridge. “We have been told that local governments the railroad goes through have the opportunity to acquire the railway. You can enter into negotiations up until Aug. 18,” said Harris. “It is something council is looking at, either purchasing outright or working with the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District or the North Okanagan Regional District.” NORD has expressed interest in the line from Spallumcheen to Sicamous, and is look-
ing at spending $45,000 to assess the acquisition.
But Mayor Malcolm MacLeod says Sicamous is already in a good
position. “Basically, Sicamous has been involved in
the issue long before the discontinuance was even announced,” he
said. “We are in a very good position because
we have started that process and no one else has. It is looking good.”

RON TURENNE/TENNIS CANADA
Vernon tennis product Vasek Pospisil goes to his forehand in singles play at the $2.4 million Rogers Cup at the Rexall Centre in Toronto.
Vasek finds glory ED KLAJMAN FOR THE MORNING STAR
TORONTO – Vernon’s Vasek Pospisil came here as just another obscure Canadian tennis player who was supposed to arrive and leave in relative anonymity. Instead, the 20-year-old became a Cinderella sensation – stunningly making tennis history with a classic doubles upset. After receiving one of two wildcards into the field, Pospisil and his 19-year-old partner from Ontario, Milos Raonic, drew a first-round match with none other than Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, the top two singles players in the world. It was the first time since Jimmy Connors and Arthur Ashe joined forces in 1976 that number one and two had played together in a match. Meanwhile, it was the first time Raonic and Pospisil had even competed in an ATP Tour doubles match. Tennis Canada gave them a wildcard because they had played well together as juniors and in some lower-level pro events, and could be a future pairing in Davis Cup competitions. When the draw was announced on the weekend, Pospisil was shocked to see who their opponents would be. “I was actually hoping to win a couple of matches here and wanted to do well and at first when I saw that draw it was like ‘Wow, that’s kind

of tough.’ But then I quickly realized it would be a great experience and a great opportunity so I was actually really excited,” said Pospisil, who is ranked 178th in the world in doubles. The match was scheduled for Stadium Court Monday night and it was put on national television. It was by far the biggest stage and biggest moment of Pospisil’s tennis life. After being introduced to the large crowd and walking on court accompanied by a Canadian flag – and to cheers of “Let’s go Canada” – Pospisil came to the net for the coin flip. Standing across from him were Djokovic and Nadal. While he had met Djokovic before in junior tennis – the two even played foosball once – he had never even seen Nadal in person, let alone have to face his pre-match jumping jacks that have been known to intimidate even the most seasoned professionals. “I see it (Nadal jumping up and down) on TV all the time. It felt a little bit weird having it front of you rather than on a TV screen, but it was awesome.” Showing no nerves and playing some of the best tennis of their lives – while their opponents were rusty playing for the first time in several weeks, rarely play doubles and were a team for the first time – the Canadians stormed to a 5-3 lead and were just two points from securing the first set.

all last night. It’s not every day you get to go and play against Nadal and Djokovic on centre court. So it was definitely – I had an emotional strain, like it was definitely tiring the whole day yesterday. I fell asleep really late. But as soon as we got up this morning, we were trying to concentrate on today’s match, trying to carry over our form that we had yesterday. “But the little mistakes we made, they made us pay for that. They’re tough. You don’t win Wimbledon if you’re an average doubles player. So they obviously showed us today what they were made of. They were really overpowering us today, I felt.” Now it’s time for Pospisil to head to Vancouver for a little downtime and a chance to celebrate with his family. He said he’ll watch a recording of his famous doubles match, which has been saved for him. And he’ll try to get caught up on the flood of well wishes he’s
had from Vernon and elsewhere. “I haven’t had much time to reply. I’ve just had so many messages that I need to start replying to today. I’ve just been flooded with calls and texts and Facebook and everything. It’s big.” The former Beairsto Elementary School student who moved to Vancouver at age 12 for full-time training, said he misses a lot of things from his days in Vernon - his relatives, and the semblance of a young person’s social life. He said he still reflects back to his early days in Vernon, and how much his tennis game and his life have changed since. “I think about it all the time and talk about it with my dad almost every week, how crazy it is, how far we’ve gone, considering most of my practice when I was young was on cracked courts, with no players to play with. I just played my brothers a little bit and my dad. ” - Ed Klajman

TORONTO – Vasek Pospisil’s reward for the historic win he and Milos Raonic had on Monday night was a second-round match Tuesday with the fifth seeds and 2010 Wimbledon champions Jurgen Melzer and Phillipp Petzschner. The Rogers Cup match was played in the afternoon heat, in the cramped confines of Court One, which was jammed with a few hundred spectators who were cheering wildly for the overnight-sensation Canadians. Unfortunately for the Vernon-born and raised Pospisil, and Raonic, this match would be nothing like their fairytale win on Monday. Unlike Nadal and Djokovic, these were doubles specialists who have great chemistry on the court. They also knew what the Canadians had done Monday and did not take them lightly. Melzer and Petzschner got an early break and cruised to a 6-2 win in the first set. The second set was closer but the Canadian darlings fell in that too – 6-4 – for a straight-set loss and the end of their tournament. “I didn’t think we did really anything wrong,” said Pospisil. “I thought they were returning really well. That probably made the difference. They found a rhythm on our serves, and it was really tough to play with their returns, I thought. I felt that was the biggest difference today. Maybe we didn’t mix up our serves enough or something.” He also explained how fatigue – mental, emotional and physical – from the excitement of the night before was a major factor. “One big thing is I couldn’t fall asleep at

Garrison big Goplen gun
Rockets add two new blueliners
Morning Star Staff
The Kelowna Rockets have added a 20-yearold defenceman in a trade with the Prince Albert Raiders, acquiring veteran Brendon Wall in exchange for a conditional seventh-round draft pick in the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft. “We had an opportunity to acquire a 20-year-old defenceman,” said Rockets GM Bruce Hamilton. “We aren’t certain where our 20-year-old situation sits right now with all these guys going to NHL training camps.” The 6-foot-1 191-pound Saskatoon product had 2-10-12 in his third WHL season. “I’m really excited, it’s a top organization,” said Wall. “I’ve heard nothing but good things.” Wall joins fellow 20-year-old players Evan Bloodoff, Geordie Wudrick, Tyler Matheson and former Vernon Viper Kyle St. Denis as overage players with the Rockets. The Rockets also swapped defencemen with the Moose Jaw Warriors, sending Collin Bowman to the Warriors in exchange for Kevin Smith. A three-year veteran, Smith, 19, played 70 games with Moose Jaw last season, scoring seven goals and adding 17 assists and 76 penalty minutes. Bowman, 19, played three full seasons with the Rockets but requested a move to another team at the end of last season. “Collin thought a change might be best for him,” said Hamilton. “I worked away at this all summer trying to find a suitable deal for Collin and most importantly for the Kelowna Rockets. It was imperative we got a defenceman in return.”

Monashee’s Pub could not break the ‘G’ Force known as Tina Garrison as the Goplen Drillers won 5-1 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division action Tuesday night at Marshall Field #4. Garrison scored four times, opening the offence on a cross from the right side which sailed right into the far side of the net at an angle the Monashee keeper had no chance of saving. Breaking up the scoring spree of Garrison was Kulwinder Smith, who snuck up from defence just in time to run onto a feed in front of the net from winger Nancy Nickoli. A penalty shot, and a perfectly placed shot while in the 18-yard area, completed the Garrison scoring bonanza. After Monashee’s responded with a Daralee Morris goal, they continued their offensive attack with a beautiful high shot headed for goal, but Shawn Nickoli made a World Cup-like save by leaping high into the hair and catching the soaring ball. Barb Schulz helped the Drillers by hustling and making key passes, looking somewhat like an Energizer bunny the entire game. The Drillers improved to 11-3-1, while the Monashee girls dipped to 0-13-2. In other Masters action, the Okanagan Impact shut down the Shuswap Merlot 2-0 at Marshall CHRIS BORCHERT/MORNING STAR Field #5. Liz Thomson and Shelinda Morin scored for the AF Blazers’ striker Allyson Cummings (left) delivers a header to teammates in the Impact, who got an excellent showing from keeper 18-yard area despite defensive efforts by Debbie Henderson of the NET Celtics in Lisa Wright.

Pospisil jacked about tennis future Continued from A23 Then Nadal caught a couple of net cords that stole the game and changed the set’s momentum. The superstars went on to win four straight games and take the first set 7-5. “We were obviously disappointed to lose that first set. We got a little bit unlucky there, but we knew we were in there after the first set, and we know that in doubles that the first set doesn’t mean too much, just because you win another set.” And that’s exactly what they did – winning the final three games to close out the dream team 6-3, and force a superbreaker. That’s a variation on the standard tiebreak that’s unique to ATP Tour doubles. It’s used instead of playing a final set, with the first tandem to reach 10 points winning the match. “Once the superbreaker started we were just kind of playing great at that moment with the crowd and the momentum and everything. We got off to a really big lead
– 8-2 – and then there was that put-away volley,” Pospisil said, referring to a volley he struck cleanly that would have given his team a 9-2 lead, but it was deemed that Pospisil touched the net, which gave the point to Nadal and Djokovic and made it 8-3. Then it got to 9-5, before the Spaniard and Serb saved three straight match points to bring the score to 9-8. Finally, on their last match point chance, Pospisil nailed a volley and screamed with delight as the upset was complete. “I really wasn’t thinking much about who we were playing maybe until we had match points and that’s when maybe you start thinking a little bit, but we obviously believed that we could win if we didn’t believe we could win we wouldn’t have won. That was one important thing that we had to do and I think we did well,” he said, noting the magnitude of the achievement didn’t hit him until he embraced his ecstatic father, Milos, in the locker room
15 minutes after the match. The next day, Pospisil was still on cloud nine. “All the players congratulate you when you’re walking around and it’s kind of nice to have big names saying ‘good job last night.’ It definitely helps the confidence for sure. It was an amazing night.” Pospisil knows that no matter what happens with his tennis from now on, this will be the moment that defines his career. “I obviously still have high hopes for my tennis career, but to play a match like that, also given the fact that it’s my first main draw ATP event or Masters Series, it’s huge. I don’t know what match can really live up to that. “It shows you that anything is possible when you’re growing up in maybe not the biggest city, the chances of making it big in a sport like this aren’t necessarily very high, but an amazing night like that can happen.”

Kerfoot kids roll triple Morning Star Staff
Out of towners dominated the annual Vernon Junior Open which finished Wednesday at the Kalamalka Country Club. The tourney was only a two-day event as the entries were not as large as in previous years. The tournament was a round-robin format which gave each player at least three matches. Boys 14, 16 and 18 played pro sets up to eight games. Boys 10 played one set up to six games, while girls 18 played pro sets, and Girls 10, 12 and 14 played one set. The Kerfoot children – Colton, Daniel, and Soleil – from West Vancouver ruled their events in the junior tournament. They spend their summers at their resort on Carr’s Landing each year where longtime Vernon tennis coach and tourney chairman Ray Kimoto has been giving them lessons at their place for the past seven years. The Schriemer kids – David, John, and Victoria – from Kelowna, also had a good tournament. All matches were singles events and trophies were presented to champions and finalists: Boys 10: 1st - Daniel Kerfoot (West Van). 2nd - Kyle Davidson (Kelowna). Daniel was winner of round robin (won 4-1) Girls 10: 1st - Soleil Kerfoot (West Van). 2nd - Victoria Schriemer (Kelowna). 6-5 (7-3 in tiebreaker). Girls 12: 1st - Mackenzie Askin (Kelowna). 2nd - Stephanie DeMaio (Calgary), 6-3. Boys 14: 1st - John Schiemer (Kelowna). 2nd Gareth Williams (Kelowna), 8-1.
Girls 14: 1st - Jessica Grove (Kamloops). 2nd Jamie Atkins (Penticton), 6-4. Boys 16: - 1st - David Schriemer (Kelowna), 2nd - Alexander Saayman (Kamloops), 8-7 (7-5 in tie-breaker). Boys 18: - 1st - Colton Kerfoot (West Van), 2nd - Daniel Andrews (Kelowna), 8-5. Note: Colton is only 14. Girls 18: - 1st - Marielle Saayman (Kamloops), 2nd - Kelsy Brawn (Vernon). Mariella was winner of round-robin in games won (27 games). “A grand thank you to Janice and Kelsy Brawn for supplying the lunches and ice cream, and to the Kalamalka Country Club members for the use of the tennis courts for the two days,” said Kimoto.

Davidson Dynamite’s Jesse Knight gets a head up on North Enderby Timber’s John Orton during men’s soccer action Wednesday night at Marshall Field.
Orton lifts Timber Morning Star Staff
Veteran striker Johnny Orton supplied the hat trick as North Enderby Timber grounded Davidson & Co. Dynamite 6-0 Wednesday night at Marshall Field #3. The Timber improved to 9-2-4 going into a make-up game Sunday night (tentative 6:45 p.m. start at Marshall Field) against the Dynamite. NET gets a bye next week and then prepares for the playoffs. Devon Janke scored the winner in the 20th minute when he took a Brent Poulsen feed off his knee, settled the ball and beat keeper Eon Ross. Orton recorded his first goal by chipping a ball from just outside the 18-yard line over Ross. On his second goal, Orton took a cross from Poulsen and slid to beat a defender to the pass and bury the ball. He finished his hat trick with a corker from the 18 which went short side, top shelf. Kyle Halvorson, on a nice solo effort, and Corey Wallis, on a scramble, completed the NET offence in front of Danny Stein. The sixth-place Nitros dropped
to 5-8-1. They finish the regular-season schedule versus the second-place Nation of Domination Eagle Homes next Wednesday night at Marshall Field #3. The ever-improving Concept Physio of Vernon lost 2-1 to Courvas of Salmon Arm at Marshall #4. “That’s a far cry from the 14-2 beating they put on us earlier in the season,” said Rob Spraggs of Physio (2-12). “We hit a post with less than a minute to go that would have really been a statement after our win over Revelstoke last game.” Enzo Paul scored on a penalty shot for the Physio crew. Concept’s big defender Eric Ius went in for a pretty hard tackle which earned him a yellow card. Spraggs said the Courvas player then kicked Ius in the chest and may have cracked one of his ribs. The Courvas improved to 9-4-0 for a share of third place with NET. Turn-Key Controls earned a 1-0 default win over Kal Sports Bar (1-13). The first-year Hotelmen have folded and will not participate in the post-season.

"REATHE IN ART AT OPEN AIR MARKET Creative types out in full force for Caetani Art Mart

Morning Star Staff
The Caetani Cultural Centre is gearing up for the last open-air market of the season Saturday with music, entertainment for kids and a wealth of arts and crafts to delve into. A few new faces can be found at the this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second Art Mart, including Alana Radmoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garden sculptures, which have become so popular that she has decided to go into business at the market. More familiar artists such as Carolina Sanchez de Bustamante from Ashpa Naira Gallery will also be returning to represent local professional artists. Sanchez de Bustamante has had experience coordinating and selling at open-air markets all over the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the atmosphere of open-air markets and the fun of engaging with people about art,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Visitors and tourists always look for local artistry and craft work, but sometimes people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice what is on their own doorstep. This market gives everyone the opportunity to experience and support our local talent.â&#x20AC;? Judy Katalinic, executive director of the Caetani centre, says the markets have a great family appeal because kids are able to get creative with crafts and soak up the courtyard entertainment, while parents get the chance to relax and enjoy browsing around the stalls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids can try their hand at beading, cookie decorating or making paper flowers to take home,â&#x20AC;? she said. More entertainment will be provided by Alex Yellowshoes and Tristan Charbonneau, just two of the young musicians who will be filling the courtyard with music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Music really lends itself to the courtyard because of the acoustics and it adds to the atmosphere of the

The next Art Mart takes place Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. cafĂŠ area and market as a whole,â&#x20AC;? said Katalinic. Visitors to the market will also have the opportunity to watch artists at work. James Postill, who is currently working on a study of musicians for his next body of work, will be sketching and painting the musicians playing in the courtyard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My present focus is on movement so musicians make the perfect subject matter and the atmosphere of the market brings an added energy to work with,â&#x20AC;? said Postill.
Derek Lynch will be demonstrating and talking about the art of stone carving by the Caetani centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s straw bale studio. He is close to finishing his latest bear sculpture carved out of soap stone and hopes to be working out of the straw bale studio now that it is nearing completion. To complete the visitor experience, Gumtree Catering is providing refreshments in the courtyard. Visit the Caetani centre website for a full list of vendors and contributors at www.caetaniculturalcentre.org.
Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen them dazzle on the world stage, and now some of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest figure skaters are coming to Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wesbild Centre for the Holiday Festival on Ice, Dec. 4. The annual skating extravaganza has been staged the past decade in cities across Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited about bringing this level of entertainment to Vernon,â&#x20AC;? said arena manager Stan Mitchell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The show features an incredible roster of talent and is a great way to catch the holiday spirit.â&#x20AC;? The show will feature 2006 Olympic bronze medalist and 2008 world champion Jeffrey Buttle, 2002 Olympic gold medalists and 2001 world champions Jamie SalĂŠ and David Pelletier, and Canadian national dance champions and world champion silver medallists Marie-France Dubreuil and Patrice Lauzon.

#LASSICALLY TRAINED PIANIST BRINGS THE HOUSE DOWN IN 6ERNON Morning Star Staff
Singer-songwriter-pianist Jeffery Straker performs more than 100 shows per year, and one of them will be held in Vernon Sunday. Straker has been busy crossing Canada with his piano, and recently recorded for CBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canada Live at one stop. In the past year he has had a music video rise to the top 10 (#6) on Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Much More Music and in May 2010, he toured his music with the Regina Symphony Orchestra in a unique collaboration. Straker, and his piano-pop music, is often compared to a mixture of Ben Folds, Elton John and Sarah Slean and Canadian Musician Magazine recently said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) very much an artist to watch.â&#x20AC;? The Chicago Free Press wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rufus Wainwright, as well as k.d. lang are among
the Canadians making essential and beautiful music. Add the name Jeffery Straker to that list.â&#x20AC;? The classically-trained pianist from a small prairie town in Saskatchewan (who swears he was born under the piano at his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm) has been invited to showcase at Canadian Music Week, the Western Canadian Music Awards, as well as JunoFest. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recently shared stages with a wide range of artists including Buffy St. Marie, Elliot Brood, Mel C (Spice Girls), The Village People, Dan Mangan, Deborah Cox, and Stereos to name a few. His songwriting has seen him become a national top 10 finalist in the Canadian Radiostar Songwriting Competition and a top 20 finalist in the global 2009 Unisong Competition, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set to record his next
album of original songs this fall. Straker is a musical descendant of Beethoven through teacher-student lineage (seriously!), and is the son of a church organist mother and an auctioneer father. This might explain his propensity to share songs for audiences. He was a student of the Royal Conservatory of Music and received his licentiate diploma in piano performance from Trinity College, London when he was 19. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s borrowed from his classical training and late-night jam sessions with the neighbours to create his own original piano-pop songs. Straker plays a house concert in Vernon Sunday at 7 p.m. For tickets/info, call 250-5454410 or e-mail pkyllonen@shaw.ca. He will also perform at Okanagan Pride in Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s City Park Saturday from noon to 4 p.m.

Go Horse Crazy in Armstrong Morning Star Staff
The Horse Crazy Cowgirl Band is riding all the way from Winthrop, Wash. to Armstrong, B.C. Winner of the Western Music Association’s Trio of the Year, the gals are about to rock the house once again at the Armstrong Inn Wednesday, and members say they are glad to be back in the area. “We love Armstrong. We have entertained at the IPE several times and for the O’Keefe Ranch,” said the band’s bass player Lauralee Northcott. “We are a very fun and funny group. We enjoy entertaining, and have even invited a couple of our great pals, Rob Dinwoodie from Vernon and Bob Johnston from Armstrong, to sit in with us if they are so inclined.” Also made up of multi-instrumentalists/vocalists Emele Clothier and Jennifer Epps, the women of Horse Crazy all make their homes in rural
Washington, and, as their names suggests, sing about the great western outdoors. “(We) are dedicated to enriching the lives of people through (our) music and engaging as many young people as possible so the legacy of western music lives on,” said Northcott. Known for their hilarious repartee, warm harmonies and plucky performance, Horse Crazy play mostly original material as well as traditional western classics, western swing favourites, and gems among other singer/ songwriters who have a genuine understanding of the American west. Their most recent recording, Daughters of the West, hit #2 on the Top 20 cowboy/western music play list, and is receiving critical acclaim as well as radio airplay around the world. Catch The Horse Crazy Cowgirl Band live Wednesday at the Armstrong Inn. Show starts at 7 p.m. No cover charge.

Insects introduced to try and control thistle Black Press
“It wasn’t brought to Canada with any natural enemies,” Scott said. “It has a competitive advantage over the native plants.” Canada thistle tends to grow in pastures, ditches, along creeks and in wetlands. It spreads through a creeping root system and through spores. When the plant spreads in hay fields and pastures, it results in the loss of forage
A species of weevil has been introduced to a number of sites in the Okanagan to control an invasive plant. Lisa Scott, a plant biologist, has released around 1,400 of the larinus planus weevil to control Canada thistle. The plant with purple flowers is native to Europe but has spread rapidly since it was introduced to Canada.
lands for livestock, since cattle will not eat the thistle. The weevils are five to 10 millimetres long and target thistle and related plants. The female chews cavities into unopened floral buds and deposits a single egg in each. Scott said the bugs have been imported and are host-specific. The weevils will suppress the plant popu-
lation but will not eliminate it entirely. “The goal is never eradication; it’s suppression of a weed population,” Scott said. “Unfortunately, Canada thistle is here to stay.” The insects will attack the plants, but it will take some time before their work is noticeable. Scott said visible results will be seen in four to five years.

Girl pays tribute to beloved pets Black Press
A 10-year-old Winfield girl’s artistic tribute to her beloved pets who died will be seen on 5,000 T-shirts across B.C. Jayden DePlonty’s picture of her cats Eemo and Punkin, and her 17-year-old dog Sadie, adopted from the SPCA, was the winning entry in the B.C. SPCA’s Paws for a Cause T-shirt contest. “Jayden found a wonderful way to honour the animals she loved, and also to help other homeless animals,” says Denise Meade, director of development for the non-profit society. Jayden’s entry, which she says was done in memory of “the three greatest pets ever,” raised $875 for Paws for a Cause. Her drawing will be used on the front of the official Paws for a Cause youth T-shirts, which will be worn by animal lovers from Prince Rupert to Penticton and Comox to Cranbrook. Paws for a Cause will be held in September in 36 communities across the province. Visit spca.bc.ca/ walk to register.
allows that he is skeptical about humancaused climate change. How can a gas plant or cement plant in B.C. take on the burden of an emission cap and paying for greenhouse gas credits when the same plant in Alberta doesn’t have to? “I can only tell you what the minister of energy thinks, and I think that if going to cap-and-trade under those circumstances
was going to create some obvious uncompetitiveness between Alberta and B.C. or between B.C. and Ontario or whoever, I don’t think we should do it,” Bennett said. He agrees with B.C. participating in the Western Climate Initiative, because if and when a price is imposed on industrial carbon emissions, the province would be prepared and ready
to benefit as a clean energy leader. Premier Gordon Campbell’s goal of a one-third cut in B.C.’s greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 was ambitious when it was announced three years ago. It looks downright dubious now that the political reality in the U.S. has changed. Barack Obama doesn’t brag about lowering the ocean levels any more. He’s more concerned

with keeping his own head above water. And Campbell’s climate target, along with some other sweeping “great goals,” appear to be setting like the sun on the B.C. flag, along with his political fortunes. Simon Fraser University resource economist Mark Jaccard put out a report last week estimating that B.C.’s rapidly growing natural gas
industry will add 10 per cent more emissions, as carbon dioxide from shale gas is vented to the air. EnCana’s large new gas plant has been approved without requiring the stillexperimental carbon capture and storage. Reduce emissions? Good luck with that.

Municipality calls for action after fatal crash LACHLAN LABERE Black Press
A fatal motor vehicle accident has prompted the District of Sicamous to once again raise the issue of updating the aging Bruhn Bridge and developing safe access to the west side. Mayor Malcolm MacLeod says that he and council will be sending a letter to the Ministry of Transportation expressing concerns about the Trans-Canada Highway crossing that links the community’s east and west sides. “The fact that this is the Trans-Canada Highway, the number one highway linking our country, it should be better than what it is,” said MacLeod in reference to the Bruhn Bridge, which he estimates to be around 50 years old. Prompting the letter is an accident that occurred on the August long weekend that saw an Alberta couple killed and their 14-year-old son seriously injured. The vehicle they were in was being driven by the couple’s 18-year-old son who, on approaching the bridge from the west side, took a corner wide and struck the right side of the bridge barrier and rail guard. The vehicle then swerved into the oncoming lane, where it was struck on the passenger side by an oncoming pickup truck. The front and rear passenger side of the vehicle took the full impact of the collision. MacLeod says the Bruhn Bridge is overdue for replacement with a structure that is straight and wide enough to handle today’s traffic volume. “The bridge is close to 50 years old and should be replaced,” he said. “The pedestrian walkway should be safer than what it is. I quite often walk my dogs on the other side and if you’re walking across that bridge and a transport truck happens to pass you while it’s heading west. It actually takes your breath away
it’s just so close.” MacLeod suggests any replacement bridge might include a sus-
pended pedestrian walkway underneath. The Old Spallumcheen Road
turnoff on the west side of the bridge is part of council’s concerns related to the bridge.
The district has been working with the ministry, the Columbia Shuswap Regional
District and Hyde Mountain Golf Course to come up with options that would not only
improve safe access, but also allow for further development on the west side.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Not only are you likely to have the ability to generate larger or extra earnings, you’ll have the wisdom to handle these funds wisely. Do your stuff and grow as much as you can. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Don’t negate your own success by delegating to others assignments you’re far more capable of handling yourself. There are certain things that should not be left up to others. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) If your ears are tingling, it is likely because of all the nice things others are saying about you. When people with whom you’re closely involved tell you about it, act surprised.

What they are capable of is far different from what you can do. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Take enjoyment in all that you do and you will find that everything will go more smoothly for you, even those tasks that are of a serious nature. It’s good advice to whistle while you work. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You have a natural knack for understanding the complicated ideas of others and determining their worth. Put to work the suggestions you find worthy.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder Today is the only Friday the 13th this year. So, as you will be moving more carefully than usual, here is a deal that requires precise play. You are in six spades. West leads the heart queen to your ace. How would you continue? Your hand is a tad strong for a one-spade opening, a tad weak for a two-notrump opening (and has undesirable distribution for that bid), and three tads weak for a two-club opening. This is why some pairs like to use a strongclub system. The North hand is a tad strong for a gameinvitational raise and a tad weak for a game-forcing raise.
If you were scientific, you would have continued with a four-club control-bid (cue-bid). Then, though, when North control-bid four diamonds, East would have thrown in a leaddirecting double. And after a diamond opening lead, you would have had to play the trump suit correctly to get home. You seem to have 12 top tricks: five spades, two hearts, one diamond and four clubs. What could possibly go wrong? The danger is twofold: the diamond finesse failing and a 3-0 trump split with a misguess by you. However, it is not a guess. In this layout, if you immediately play a spade to dummy’s king, you will go down. Instead, start with your
spade ace. Here, everything is fine. But if West discards, you can lead a spade to dummy’s king, cash your second heart winner, and play on clubs. If East never ruffs, throw him in with his spade queen, forcing him to lead a diamond into dummy’s ace-queen or to concede a ruff-and-sluff.

New forecasting centre tracks wildfire smoke MELISSA LAMPMAN Black Press
With more than 400 wildfires burning provincewide, people can now know how the resulting smoke is affecting the air quality in their region. The BlueSky Western Canada Smoke Forecasting System was unveiled in Kamloops Tuesday by Healthy Living Minister Ida Chong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know any borders,â&#x20AC;? Chong said of the massive smoke clouds travelling throughout the province and into Alberta over the past couple of weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They move around and we need to be aware of where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving to.â&#x20AC;? Found online at the provincial air-quality website, the real-time BlueSky system uses the location and size of active forest fires in combination with weather conditions to give an hour-by-hour forecast of the location and concentration of heavy wildfire smoke in B.C. and Alberta for up to 48 hours into the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is exactly how we should be moving into the future,â&#x20AC;? Chong said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will allow you to prepare, plan and
let you know what to expect in your community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is about making sure our families are
safe and our communities are safe.â&#x20AC;? For three years, the healthy living ministry has been working with
the ministries of environment and forests, as well as many other agencies, to develop the system at a cost of
$95,000. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been Kamloops and the Interior Health Authority that have
been the testing grounds for the pilot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This system will improve public communications to warn
which communities will be affected and by how much,â&#x20AC;? said IHA medical health officer Paul Hasselback.

When Queen Silver Star XLVIII, Miranda Stankiewicz, was a candidate for B.C. Ambassador last year, one of the questions she was asked was what she would do if she could do anything once. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to live in Paris, France,â&#x20AC;? she said, thinking at the time it was only a dream. Now, as she finishes her year as a B.C. Ambassador, she is packing her bags to head to France in September. She finished her first year with honours in international business studies at UNBC in Prince George and will spend next year at the Paris Graduate School of Management as part of her universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exchange program. As part of a team of three B.C. Ambassadors, Stankiewicz has traveled around the province to various festivals over the past year and will hand on her title to the new ambassadors in Merritt on Aug. 14. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been a wonderful year. We saw so much of the province and met so many people. It has been valuable to me to increase my confidence in public speaking,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the highlights was being able to represent the province on B.C. Day, Feb. 14, at the Olympics. We got to meet the prime minister and the prime minister of Holland
and talk to people about B.C. and hand out pins and flags. We were interviewed on TV programs that were seen around the world. Being able to see the final torch relay and the First Nations blessing was definitely a highlight.â&#x20AC;? Stankiewicz will be staying with a French family and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confident that it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for her French to become fluent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the idea of being immersed in the culture. As ambassador and Queen Silver Star I was always welcoming people to our city and province and now I will be the one being welcomed. About one-fifth of the students at the school will be international students and I am looking forward to meeting people from around the world,â&#x20AC;? she said. With her dream of living in France coming true, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking forward to the next dream, working for an international company and maybe later becoming a high school math and French teacher. She has spent the summer working with childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs at the Outback Lakeside Resort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to thank everyone in Vernon for their support for me in the Queen Silver Star and B.C. Ambassador programs. I always enjoy coming back to my home town and seeing so many people I know,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And au revoir.â&#x20AC;?

D
ear Annie: I have been dating the woman of my dreams for a year. She treats me incredibly well, and we both are very much in love. Like most adults our age, at first we had sex every week. However, over the past few months, “Jane” has not been willing to make love and has not shown much sign of physical attraction toward me. I confronted her about it, and she said sex is painful. We agreed to try to make things better and not give up on a potentially great sex life. Since that conversation, Jane still hasn’t shown any physical interest. I have tried setting the right atmosphere, and I always tell her how beautiful and sexy she is. I would never want to put her through anything she doesn’t enjoy, but I truly want a good sex life with the woman I love. Should I confront her again, or do you have any other suggestions? — Loving Boyfriend Dear Boyfriend: The right atmosphere and nice compliments are not going to solve Jane’s problem. She needs to see her gynecologist and explain that she is suffering from painful intercourse (dyspareunia). There can be a variety of causes, both physical and psychological, and an array of treatments. But it is important that Jane talk to someone knowledgeable. Ask Jane if she would like you to accompany her so you can learn how to be supportive and helpful. She sounds worth it. Dear Annie: I am

Can you give me some advice on how to address these issues in advance? — Trying To Do My Duty Dear Trying: We recommend you and your mother have a nice long talk before she moves in. Explain that living together will require compromises from both of you, and it’s best to iron out some of the problem areas in advance. She should not expect you to change your lifestyle in order to please her, and you must allow her to maintain her independence. Learn to turn a deaf ear to some of her criticisms, and say “no” when she makes unreasonable demands. If you are consistently polite but firm about it, she will eventually adjust

BIBLE BASICS
Baptism is complete immersion by adults who know exactly what they are doing. “baptized:” baptizo, to cover fully. Rom. 6:3: “so many of us as were BAPTIZED into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death.” Baptism is a symbol of burial of ‘ the old man of the Áesh.’ All of us are born ‘sinners in the Áesh.’ Some adults are immersed and become part of Christ’s body.

Mackie Lake House opens its doors this weekend for a celebration to mark the historic home’s centennial.
House celebrates 100 years Morning Star Staff
It’s time to party this weekend as Mackie Lake House welcomes the public to celebrate its 100th birthday. On Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., there will be live entertainment, children’s pioneer games, croquet, a Scrabble tournament and, of course, birthday cake. Prizes will be awarded for the best period outfits. Entertainment includes Holly Smith, Manfred Harter, The Timbretones, Sweet Adelines and Sans Ssouci. Volunteers with The Bishop Bird Sanctuary and The Society for the Protection of Kalamalka Lake Park will also be on site. Don’t forget your blanket and/or lawn chair and come prepared to play games, enjoy the entertainment and the stunning view of Kalamalka Lake. To register for the partners’ Scrabble tournament, please call Mackie Lake House at 250-5451019. Games start on the hour from noon until 5 p.m. Sign up for croquet when you get here. Tea sandwiches, tea and lemonade will be available for purchase. And keep your blankets and chairs in your vehicle because you need them again for Sunday’s celebratory concert featuring Cats & The Fiddle and Manfred & The Lonely. Tickets are $15 for adults, $7.50 for children four to 12 years or $35 for the family. Tickets are available at the Ticket Seller. This is a fundraiser for the Okanagan Symphony. Gates open at 3 pm. Built in 1910, Mackie Lake House is the only provincially recognized heritage home in the North Okanagan. Montreal businessman Ronald Buchanan and his brother-in-law Ronald McLimont bought adjacent properties from Lord Aberdeen on Kalamalka Lake and commissioned then well known architect Robert Findlay to design both houses. However, like many beautiful Coldstream homes, the McLimont House burned to the ground and Summertree now sits on that property.
This is Kseniya...
In 1925, Buchanan sold the house to the Layton family. The Laytons had two daughters, one of whom, Elizabeth (Layton) Nels, went on to be private secretary to Sir Winston Churchill from 1941 to 1945. She has written a book on her experiences, and the two sisters now live in South Africa. The Mackies bought the house in 1940, reputedly for $10,000. The story of the Mackie Lake House history and of the family is told every Thursday and Friday when tours are offered to the public. Reservations are required. It was through the philanthropy of Patrick Fylton Mackie that a foundation was set up in 1993 to ensure that the house and property, its contents, history and art would be preserved for the enjoyment of current and future generations. Patrick Mackie died in 1999 but he is well remembered as an artist, musician, educator, naturalist and a strong supporter of arts and culture in the community. The property is taken care of by a manager, part-time lawn caretaker and many volunteers. For more information about Mackie Lake House, please contact Marilyn Berglund at 250-545-1019.

Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; union president predicts issues with RCMP JEREMY DEUTSCH Black Press
As the province gets set to negotiate a new 20-year contract with the RCMP, a prominent First Nations leader is warning of impending problems with the police force. Stewart Phillip, the president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, predicts the province is heading into another era of conflict with First Nations as the result of a recent decisions by government and major industry with respect to land and resources. As potential conflicts boil over, he suggested the RCMP will play a major role in how the conflicts play out. Phillip said he is concerned high-level protocol agreements with the RCMP and First Nations in years past are starting to deteriorate as older members of the force retire. Phillip, who described the historical relationship with the RCMP as an ebb and flow, suggested the younger generation in the force has a lot of â&#x20AC;&#x153;attitudeâ&#x20AC;? and is far more adversarial than in the past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at trouble,â&#x20AC;? he said. Phillip noted controversial projects like the Site C dam on the Peace River and Taseko Prosperity Mine project near Williams Lake as possible flashpoints. The B.C. Civil Liberties Association is currently touring
the province looking for the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s input on a number of related issues, including adequate staffing levels for

director of the BCCLA, said themes from the forums on RCMP accountability and differential treatment of
aboriginal communities are beginning to emerge. He also pointed out the positive work being
done by Mounties, including greater outreach on reserves and on the streets. The BCCLA will
compile all the input into a report, which will be presented to the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solicitor general and the RCMP.

It is with sadness we announce the passing of Nathan John Mayrhofer at the age of 32 years. Nathan was born May 6, 1978 in Nelson, British Columbia. He came into the world bouncing and full of life and that is how he lived. Nathan loved many things but most of all he loved family and was a loving son, brother, grandson, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend. He was always there to lend a hand or to help out anyone who needed it. He loved model trains, Star Trek and rock and roll. What a great passion he had for the outdoors and always felt most alive when he worked in the high country. It was his dream to work in Alaska. His biggest passion was his family who will miss him with all their hearts.
