Enthusiastic crowds flock to IPE RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The threat of rain didn’t do anything to dampen spirits at the Interior Provincial Exhibition Wednesday. About 24,210 people flocked through the gate opening day, leaving last year’s attendance of 19,557 in the dust. “We spent more on marketing and trying to attract more people and it’s worked,” said Bryan Burns, general manager. Attendance for Thursday wasn’t known at press time, but large crowds are expected as the weekend draws closer. “Saturday is always huge and there’s so much going on that people come on multiple days just to experience everything,” said Burns. Last year, 146,000 people attended the Armstrong fair during its five days, but Burns isn’t speculating on final figures for the 2010 event. “If we’re over 135,000 people, I’m happy,” he said, adding that he isn’t surprised by the public’s interest in the 111th IPE. “There’s lots of new stuff and with the traditional stuff mixed in, there’s great value and a lot of fun,” he said. “We want to put on the best fair possible.” A crowd favourite Wednesday was the rodeo, with the grandstands virtually full. Upgrades to the facility have garnered a lot of praise. “They absolutely love the new layout of the rodeo ring and the calibre of the cowboys is excellent,” said Burns. “It’s one of the best rodeos in Canada. You’re getting the same cowboys that you see at the Calgary Stampede.” The IPE is playing host to the Wrangler Canadian Rodeo Tour Finals this year, and the rodeo runs from 8 to 10 p.m. every night. Outside of the rodeo, there are 2,000 categories and 7,000 entries

For Burns, the IPE’s focus continues to be agriculture, and he is thrilled that many children have their first opportunity to see livestock at the fair. “There are activities in each barn and we had our first birth of a calf in the moo-ternity at midnight just as opening day was starting,” he said. “Three kids stayed there for all of it and it was a great experience for them.” The IPE runs until Sunday in Armstrong.

At the elementary level, our grade 4 and grade 7 students wrote the Foundations ns Skills Assessment last spring. These assessments show that over 75% of our students are meeting or exceedingg provincial standards in reading, writingg and numeracy. Well done!
1. Stress being on time and attendance – Research shows that school attendance is the single most important factor in your child’s school success. Being late just 10 minutes per day means 30 hours of lost instructional time each year. Teach your child to set an alarm clock so he can take responsibility for his own wake ups. Do what it takes to make sure your child’s in class on time and ready to learn. 2. Prioritize schoolwork – Stress that school and homework come before friends, a job or sports. Limit or restrict TV, videogames and movies during school nights. Set high expectations that you expect your child to do his schoolwork to the best of his ability, and then make sure he does by following through. If he doesn’t, set a consequence. Set high educational aspirations for your child. 3. Be involved from the get go! - Know what’s going on in your child’s school and classroom. Monitor your child’s school progress. Read the school newsletter volunteer, show up to school events, and answer each communication. Check your child’s work but don’t do it for her! 4. Partner with the teacher – Show up to every parent conference and back-to-school event. Call for an appointment if you see your child struggling. Maintain ongoing communication with the teacher and the school. Stay connected! Don’t let that report card surprise you. Know how your child is doing. 5. Show daily interest – Create daily rituals such as in the car pool, during the family meal or every night before your child goes to bed to discuss school. Ask: “What did you do in school?” not “How did you do?” Don’t let a day go by that you don’t talk about what happened in your child’s classroom and what he’s learning. 6. Support your child’s school activity participation – Kids who feel connected to their school are more likely to have better grades a well as graduate. Encourage your child to participate in school activities that match his interest such as football, the chess club, band or theatre, and then cheer him on. 7. Applaud effort! –Acknowledge hard work and persistence not just the grade or the outcome. Use specific praise about a task so your child knows what he did right to help stretch his inner motivation. The single greatest correlation to success in life is not the child’s grade but his persistence,. Emphasize the effort! 8. Be a role model – Read in front of your kids. Check out books from the library. Talk about the importance of education. Have books available so your kids see that reading is important. Let your kids see that you aren’t derailed by a mistake, and problem solve to work things through. Be an example of hard work and persistence so your child has a model to copy. 9. Pass on high educational aspirations – Be clear that you value learning and why education is crucial. Your child must understand it is important to work hard and how his effort will pay off later. from an early age talk to your child about his future education plans in “when” not “if” terms. “When you graduate from high school...” and When you go to college...” 10. Get help so your child succeeds! – If your child is struggling with his learning, don’t wait to get help. Call the school and talk to the teacher. Ask to speak with the counsellor or school psychologist. Your goal is to create the best plan to help your child’s learning steadily progress and reduce frustrations so he feels successful.

A MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD CHAIR: On behalf of all trustees, I look forward to welcoming both new and former students back to class for the 2010-2011 school year. We are very proud of the way in which our students, staff, parents and community work together to ensure that every student in School District 22 experiences success. Our teachers, support staff and administrators are committed to creating a healthy work environment, and to deliver and support a variety of programs that meet the needs of all learners. They work tirelessly to achieve this goal and their commitment often extends beyond the classroom to offer our students athletic, fine arts and community opportunities that they may not otherwise enjoy. To each of our students, I wish you a successful and promising school year and on behalf of all trustees I thank the entire school community for making School District 22 a great place to learn. Bill Turanski Chair, Board of Education Trustees: Sam Banducci, Steve Connor, Perry Wainwright, Joe Deuling, Mollie Bono and Paula Harned
A MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT I would like to extend a very warm ‘welcome back’ to all students and staff as we look forward to a new school year. The 2010-2011 school year promises to be another outstanding year of teaching and learning in the Vernon school district. We are eager to take on the challenges and learning opportunities that lie ahead. The administrators, teachers and support staff are committed to working together to provide excellent learning opportunities for every student. Student achievement continues to be the focus of the district’s work and is key factor in every decision we make. Education is a partnership that cannot occur without the support of every staff member, the involvement of every parent and the commitment of every student. We value each child’s uniqueness and are committed to providing instructional programs that empower all children to reach their potential. This year, along with working on our five achievement contract goals, our District will be looking at 21st Century Learning and more specifically how our secondary schools will look in the near future. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss what these topics mean to you and how we can strengthen our partnership as we embark on another year together. Welcome back!

News Goats a constant source of fun CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Cherry Bolduc chats happily with the people who stop to admire her goats at the Interior Provincial Exhibition. She’s a city girl and retired dental assistant who had never had much to do with animals until she and her husband, Gordon Bolduc, started Mostly Mini’s Farm near Armstrong. “I got my first goat at an auction, then I fell in love with a four-day-old baby Nubian at the IPE, then I fell in love with a Pygmy. I’ve had goats ever since,� she said. She breeds and sells goats for pets, dairy and breeding stock and at one time, had the largest herd of registered pygmies in Canada, as well as Nigerian dwarfs and Nubians. The herd is down from 125 goats to 50 now but it’s still a lively place. “They are so much fun. They are good for stress relief, entertainment and exercise, I take them for walks with me. It’s impossible to be depressed when you have a goat,� said Bolduc. She likes the way the babies will jump on the mothers’ backs and ride, then when the mother is tired of that, she will walk through the small dog door and tip the baby off. It’s fun, she says, to watch them on the children’s slide in their play area — they go part way up and then slide down. “They’re like two-year-olds. Keep them entertained and they don’t get into trouble. I like to take them out to public events,� she said. “The goats love it and so do the people. There’s nothing like kids and kids.� Bolduc said there are a lot of misconceptions about goats. For one thing, they do not eat everything,
including tin cans. If they are seen licking a can, it probably means they have a mineral deficiency. They are inquisitive and will nibble at everything to test it out but are really fussy eaters. They will not eat anything that has any mould or dirt in it. Goats are browsers and eat bushes and weeds to knee level which makes them good companions for grazers like sheep, horses and cows. Goats make good companions for other animals and are sometimes kept with race horses to calm them. If goats are being kept as pets, it is best to have two since they are a herd animal. They are generally healthy and live for nine to 12 years. There are eight registered dairy breeds, two miniature breeds and several meat breeds registered in Canada. There are also fibre breeds. Angora goats give mohair while the cashmere goats gives cashmere, which is combed out rather than being clipped. Bolduc raises the Nubians for milk and it is used to feed orphaned animals, including fawns, alpacas, llamas, horses, dogs and cats. Goat milk is the universal replacement milk. “The goats are so intelligent and they have taught me so much about herbals. They self medicate if they have the chance and I watch the herbs they are eating and learn about how they are used,� she said. “At one time Armstrong used to be a strong area for goats but there are not so many now. We enjoy raising them and showing them and we have quality animals. The judges are always favourably impressed and, of course, people love to see them.�

Three-vehicle accident claims life Seventeen-year-old Salmon Arm youth dies north of Enderby Morning Star Staff
A Salmon Arm teen is dead following a three-vehicle accident that occurred on Highway 97A north of Enderby Wednesday night. The 17-year-old youth was driving a Pontiac northbound on the highway at 11:50 p.m. when it was involved in a head-on colli-
sion with a southbound grey Dodge pickup truck. According to RCMP North Okanagan Traffic Services, a second collision then occurred with the Dodge and a northbound green Dodge truck. The teen driver was declared dead at the scene. The other two drivers, a 30-year-old Armstrong man and a 38-year-old man from Kelowna, were transported by ambulance to Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Both men were treated for their injuries and released from hospital.
No names had been released prior to The Morning Star’s deadline. The highway was closed for more than four hours in order to give emergency services and RCMP an opportunity to continue with the accident investigation and clear the vehicles involved. The highway re-opened to traffic at 4 a.m. Police are asking anyone who may have witnessed the collision, or observed the vehicles prior to the accident, to contact them at the Vernon RCMP detachment at 250-545-7171.

Blaze destroys residence
Take the Horizon Test Drive
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A home on Middleton Mountain sustained extensive damage but five people were able to escape the flames early Tuesday. There were three people sleeping upstairs and two downstairs when fire broke out in the 900 block of Mt. Begbie Dr. before 5:30 a.m. “We’re thankful for everyone getting out,” said Lawrie Skolrood, Vernon’s deputy fire chief. “Smoke alarms played a big role in that happening as did a pet who woke people up.” The owners of the house — who were upstairs — have insurance, but the tenants downstairs did not. The tenants are receiving assistance from Emergency Social Services personnel. It’s believed the blaze started in a basement bedroom, but a cause has not been determined yet. Access to the structure has created challenges for investigators. “There are some integrity issues so we had to be careful with that,” said Skolrood. “I’m not going to say it’s a write-off but the house is very badly damaged.” Much of the damage occurred at the rear of the building, with debris covering the backyard. Vinyl siding helped fuel the fire. “It burns really well,” said Skolrood of the siding.

AAA CARPET CARE
Track process continues RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Provincial agencies will be asked if they support an equestrian centre before the North Okanagan Regional District spends more money. On Wednesday, directors received the terms of reference for a potential feasibility study into an equestrian centre, which would include a race track. But instead of spending $55,000 on the study, it was decided that discussions need to be held with the B.C. Lottery Corporation and the Agricultural Land Commission. “If both organizations support it, it’s worth looking at a new home or doing something there (Kin Race Track),” said director Wayne Lippert. “But if they don’t support it, it will be hard to sell to the public.” ALC approval would be required if a facility

Lottery Corporation would have to sanction a proposed gaming centre. NORD spent $8,000 on the preparation of terms of reference by consultant Gary Bannerman. Bannerman recently authored a report that considers possible relocation of Kin Race Track to an equine centre at a new location.
Besides racing and gaming, an equestrian centre could also include training, boarding and a veterinary hospital NORD and the City of Vernon own Kin Race Track and the Okanagan Equestrian Society must leave the property by the end of this year. The society has taken NORD and the city to court., claiming that equestrian activities were guaranteed when most of Kin Race
Track was turned over to the city in 1964 for free. The society also claims NORD ignored an agreement for lease renewals. A tentative court date is set for June 2011. The society may also seek an injunction to prevent this fall’s eviction. Ed Woolley, society president, agrees with NORD’s decision to speak to the ALC and lottery corporation before considering funds for a study. “I’d want to get those conditions out of the way,” he said. Woolley is also pleased NORD looked at the terms of reference. “It’s a positive sign that they are open to other options beyond litigation,” he said.

The fork in the road
S
ince today is my last day working at The Morning Star, it is perhaps appropriate my turn in the rotation has come up to hammer out a column here. At least it was not hard to come up with a topic to write about this time around. (By the way, Jennifer Smith, who has been on maternity leave with daughter Darla (just turned one), will be returning to her post on Sept. 13). It’s been an interesting 12 months. Covering Coldstream Brent Mutis council meetings put me through a steep learning curve and tested my attention span some nights. I’ve also reported on what seems like an inordinate number of structure fires. Off the top of my head, I think I’ve been to about eight fires at houses or businesses in our coverage area. That’s not including the fire at Tolko Industries back in July which was probably the biggest news story during my stint here. Fortunately, there were never any serious injuries in any of the incidents and I am thankful for that. Covering the Olympic torch relay will probably go down as the highlight of my stay here, seeing so many people come out to support the event. Some of the other memorable assignments I’ve been given are ones happening at Vernon schools. I’ve found the enthusiasm and creativity of the school environment to be rewarding. There was the performance class at Vernon Secondary that put on a production about the dangers of Internet bullying and the visit to Okanagan Landing Elementary by Terry Fox’s brother Fred where he conveyed the message to kids of never giving up. Writing about Paralympian Josh Dueck’s journey at the 2010 Games was inspirational

as he claimed a silver medal in the sit-skiing slalom event. I’ve even managed to sneak a few other stories into the sports section while reporters in that department were on holidays. It was always refreshing to get back on the sports beat a little bit because my first full-time gig in the newspaper business was as the sports reporter at the Salmon Arm Observer, one of our sister papers. However, it will not bother me if I never hear the words boat launch or water devolution ever again. As for what comes next, I guess you could say I’m going back to my roots. I’m originally a Lower Mainlander and I’ve been in the Interior for the last 21 months now. It’s been good for me to be out of my comfort zone and I have learned a lot about myself. But someone told me recently, when you come to a fork in the road, take it. And that’s what I’m doing. I’m moving back to the Lower Mainland but will continue to write on a freelance basis as I make the transition back to school. I guess I want to feel like I am getting the most out of my skill set. If I can continue to write the odd bit while studying towards a new career, that should get me going in the right direction. It’s certainly not where I thought I’d be when I graduated from university five years ago but I’ve learned life doesn’t always go in straight line. Looking back, I remember as a teenager thinking by the time I got to be 30, I’d have everything in place. My parents did by that time but things have changed a lot in a generation. I believed then that by now I would have the house, the family and the career path long established but it looks like those things will have to be written about in a different column. Thanks Vernon, it’s been a quite a ride and I look forward to seeing you again before too long.
There may be some residents who believe the North Okanagan Regional District is stalling by not automatically proceeding with a feasibility study on a proposed equestrian centre. However, the approach taken by the directors and staff is the correct one because simply giving the $55,000 study a green light and appeasing the horse lobbyists could ultimately be a costly mistake. And the reason it could backfire is because the ultimate viability of a proposed equestrian centre is in the hands of two provincial agencies — the B.C. Lottery Corporation and the Agricultural Land Commission. About 100 acres are required for an equestrian centre — including a race track, training and boarding facilities and a veterinary hospital. Around here, the only large tracts available are in the Agricultural Land Reserve so the ALC would have to give its blessing to any development. Similar support would be required from the lottery corporation for a gaming facility at the equestrian centre. If either one or both of those agencies aren’t willing to play ball, then the concept of a equestrian centre is dead in the water and the $55,000 will have been wasted. And given the economic times we’re in, not making a rash decision with taxpayers’ dollars is prudent. With debate over Kin Race Track and the future of horse racing dragging on for years, a few more weeks or months won’t make any significant difference. But having a firm concept of whether an equestrian centre even has a chance of moving ahead is vital, and as a result, the North Okanagan Regional District must be allowed to do its homework.

Waiting for knee replacement
I
just returned from an appointment with my orthopedic surgeon who tells me that I probably will not get my knee replacement for another three to five months. I have been on the waiting list for five months already contrary to MLA Eric Foster's belief that there is only a threemonth waiting period. It is my understanding the Interior Health Authority closed one operating room in Vernon Jubilee Hospital for the months of July and August, which cuts back the replacement surgeries by 25 per cent and in so doing, adds more time to those of us living in constant pain. Trying to have a life on prescription pain POOL SHOULD EVOLVE I congratulate Erin St. James for raising the issue of the time change at the Peanut Pool. Moving the start time later to 11 a.m. seemed odd since some parents take their children out earlier to avoid sunburns. Having a seven-year-old, I’ve visited the Peanut Pool numerous times and thought it would be better if it were converted into a spray park. Spray parks are much safer for children since they remove the danger of drowning as well as eliminating the cost of lifeguards. They also extend the operating time of the facility to 12 hours. I recall taking my then-toddler son to Vancouver’s Chaldecott Water Park (Edward and Crown). The unfenced spray park has a large red button which can activate the water for 15-minute periods between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. This ensures that the water is not running when no one is using it. It is actually hilarious when the water park does turn off. The children all shout, “push the button” and then race across the grass to be the first to push the big red button on the maintenance shed. With the existing infrastructure in place for pumping and filtering, the cost to the city to convert the Peanut Pool to a spray park should not be significant. Some might be opposed to
medication is not as easy as it sounds as this can cause other problems to the body and therefore cost the health service even more money. They closed the OR to save money. Where is the common sense to this? Yes I called the OR booking office at VJH to ask them where I was on the list and they said perhaps late fall (November December). I asked to be put on a cancellation/ short notice list, which is very long. Now all there is left to do is wait in pain while the bureaucrats figure out what else they can cut back on to save money so they can get a raise in pay. Annette Kazmar
another spray park due to the poor design of the current Polson spray park. That spray park incorporated many large and high volume spray features which only a few older children enjoy. New spray parks incorporate gentler elements that squirt from the ground, spray in arcs, or mist. This makes spray parks much more friendly to younger children and parents who don’t want to get soaked with water. For those who do want to get soaked, often there are timed elements. In Regina, one spray park has a dragon which every 10 minutes sprays a huge torrent of water onto squealing children. Compared to other cities, Vernon has relatively few spray parks for its population size. The construction costs of these facilities are quite low, and often service organizations will offset the costs with fundraising. Once established, the maintenance costs are very low, yet the benefits to the community are very high. One consideration is that since spray parks are very safe, parents are free to connect with other parents and establish important friendships. I have seen many groups of moms who meet regularly at spray parks because they know their children are having safe fun therefore they are more free to visit with their friends. I would recommend that the city convert the Peanut Pool,
but also construct two small toddler friendly spray parks in areas of the city with high populations of families. James Love NO INTERAC I went to the library to pay my fines and I had forgotten that they don't have Interac (probably because my mind refuses to process that they still don't have it). So I asked if we could expect Interac anytime soon at the Vernon library and the woman responded, "Oh no, never. It is never going to happen. It is just one more system to add to all our other systems." So I therefore added that any other library system that I have either been to or worked for across Canada has had Interac and not only is it strange that you don't have it yet, but it is even stranger that you will never be getting it. Absolutely unbelievable. As an experiment to see if I was being too rough on the Vernon area, I contacted the library system of the Yukon to see if they might have Interac way up north in the much more remote territory of Yukon and they do. So I ask you, why? And why am I made to sound like the one who is nuts? Should I not expect our local library system to have Interac and if it doesn't yet, to have it in the future? C.

IN RESPONSE Re: Rebel without a home. According to the article dated Aug. 1, Philip (Rebel) Harnish explains about life in his car on disability of $400 a month. My problem with this statement is this, I know off hand that provincial disability pays just over $900 a month to disabled people on provincial disability. Why is it that Mr. Harnish has not got on provincial disability? With the help of workers from the Disability Centre at the People Place who help people get on provincial disability, Mr. Harnish could change his life around and get out of living in his Lumina on the lake and also could get support of all sorts of things he would need. I have seen many bachelor apartments available and one bedroom available in buildings with elevators for Mr. Harnish to use with his wheelchair for approximately $600 a month. Even social services pays better than $400 a month and he could get a subsidy from them as well as the $400 he says he gets on disability. Perhaps Mr. Harnish — aka. Rebel — is just that, rebellious and refuses to ask for help from the province? I have personally seen the way he lives and it's no life to live like a hoarder in your car. Perhaps
the nickname "Rebel" suits Mr. Harnish to a T. It's not healthy for him to live like a rebel. God bless him and I hope he turns to help before it's too late and ends up hospitalized again. Patti Mondor

Vernon left to fund new transit bus to UBC RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Transit to Kelowna is expanding, but most regional partners aren’t climbing aboard. The North Okanagan Regional District board received information on funding a second bus to the University of B.C. campus Wednesday. But no action was taken, meaning that the only financial participant at the current time is the City of Vernon. “We don’t have any riders on the first bus so if Vernon and Coldstream want to go for it, they can,” said Herman Halvorson, rural Enderby director. For Lumby director Kevin Acton, a lack of funds stops the village from getting involved. “We can’t justify spending more money on transit,” he said. All of the communities will continue to support the existing bus to UBC, but Vernon director Jack Gilroy is disappointed they won’t back the second bus. “It’s too important. We need to have that bus running,” he said, adding that it is also used by residents who have jobs in Kelowna. “We have to get people to school and work.” The total cost for an expanded regional service — the second bus — was $120,000, with $57,480 coming from Vernon. The remainder would have been: Armstrong — $7,320, Enderby — $5,640,
Coldstream — $20,520, Spallumcheen — $7,440, Lumby — $4,680, Area B — $5,640, Area D — $5,280 and Area F —
$6,000. One possible funding option that’s still on the table is Vernon and Coldstream funding the
second bus. “Coldstream is part of Greater Vernon and we have students and people using it,” said
Doug Dirk, Coldstream director. “We (Coldstream council) are just waiting for information to
come back so we can make a decision.” If the two communities go it alone, the costs could be
$105,804 annually for Vernon and $14,196 for Coldstream. The expanded service to UBC begins Sunday.

Water research taps into NORD funding Some North Okanagan taxpayers will be funding research into water sources. North Okanagan Regional District directors from Greater Vernon, Armstrong and Spallumcheen have agreed to provide $19,300 annually over five years for a regional innovation chair in water resources and ecosystem management at the University of B.C. “This is an opportunity for an independent resource to the regional district,” said John Trainor, Armstrong director. Full support also came from Vernon director Patrick Nicol, saying that issues surrounding water quality and supply are critical. “This is about the long-term, the future,” he said.

Fruit season brings harvest of bears to region RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Fruit-laden trees are a tradition in the North Okanagan but they can be a death sentence for bears. The number of complaints about bears in residential settings has increased in recent days. “Fruit season is coming on and bears are all over the place,� said Brent Smith, conservation officer. Residents are being encouraged to keep their yards clean as a way of not attracting animals. “If you don’t want the fruit, get rid of the tree. If you do want it, pick the fruit just before it gets ripe,� said Smith. If a bear becomes aggressive and addicted to easy food source, authorities may have to destroy the animal. Beyond fruit, the public should keep pet food, garbage, barbecues and compost out of reach, and take down bird feeders as they are also a food source for bears. With the nights starting to cool off, bears are searching for anything to eat prior to hibernation. “If they don’t put on fat, they may starve to death in their dens over winter,� said Smith. Since April 1, there have been 482 black bear complaints and 11 grizzly complaints in the North OkanaganShuswap. Of the black bear complaints so far this year, 155 are from Salmon Arm, 153 are from Vernon and 56 are from Coldstream.

Complaints have also been steady in Enderby
and Sicamous. Fourteen black bears
have been destroyed and that is down from

ing people or livestock, the public can call con-

Motor boat ban floated
BLACK PRESS FILE PHOTO
Residents of Gardom Lake near Enderby have suggested that gasolinepowered boats should be removed from the lake.
BARB BROUWER
Black Press
Things could get a lot quieter on Gardom Lake, as a number of residents have suggested that gasoline-powered boats be removed from the lake. Some 40 residents of the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District attended a recent open house where they were given a run down on the issues surrounding the request for the Enderby area lake. CSRD planner Jan Thingsted provided some historical background, noting that in the early ’90s, a petition signed by 50 residents was sent to Transport Canada requesting the removal of gasoline engines from the lake. “It’s a lengthy process and Transport Canada has a rigorous framework they’ve set up,” Thingsted said. “People have to show there’s a real existing problem and there has to be proper consultation.” Following a fatality in the 1990s, the government did set a 10 m.p.h. maximum on the 73-hectare lake, says Thingsted, who notes that during the process leading up to the adoption of the Area D Parks Plan in 2008, many members of the public contended Gardom Lake should be designated as a gasoline engine-free lake. Similar feedback was also presented from many residents when the regional district went through official community plan (OCP) hearings. “I think they felt paddle boats and electric motors were sufficient,” says Thingsted. “There’s a concern not only for water quality, but plant and animal habitat as well, and also safety to paddlers and swimmers.” Ministry of Environment staff re-stocked the lake with trout, following last year’s Rotenone treatment to get rid of bass and perch, a move that has prompted a surge in fishermen. Resident Denise Hearn says there has also been a multitude of kayaks and canoes as the health of the lake has improved so much. “What I think is most important is the health of the lake and the waterline,” she says. “Where water and air meet is where all insects hatch on the water and the little film produced by gas-powered engines interferes with hatch.” Thingsted and area residents agree that one gas-powered boat for safety reasons is a must for the Gardom Lake Bible Camp, whose campers are often in or out on the water in boats. CSRD will go through responses presented at the meeting and will continue to collect input from area residents. But, Thingsted notes, the regional district is not authorized to restrict boats and would have to apply to Transport Canada. The second option would be to take a nonregulatory route, asking for a voluntary compliance, putting up signage that says gas-powered boats are discouraged on the lake. “The whole point of this meeting is to gauge community response and present a few options,” Thingsted says, noting this is the option Transport Canada prefers. “We still haven’t gone through the questionnaires and we’ll be putting it on the website (www.csrd.bc.ca). “We want to provide more opportunity for more people to respond and give their feedback before we move forward.”

Citizens rally for shelter needs Morning Star Staff
Vernonites have rallied behind women in need. As a result of a recent request for assistance, the Vernon Women’s Centre’s shelves are now full with supplies. “Last week alone, the centre had close to 80 individuals drop off much-needed donations that include everything from laundry soap and tampons to shampoo and everything in between,” said Jody Furneaux, women’s project
co-ordinator. “We are so very grateful to the community for their continued support of the centre and of the local women who seek our support.” Last week, more than 140 women accessed the services of the centre. Donations can continue to be dropped off throughout the year at the centre, which is located at 3309 32nd Ave. It is open from 10 a.m. until noon and from 1 to 4 p.,m.

Second chance for vets
Morning Star Staff
GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Some would call it a step backwards. Kyle Murphy and Malcolm Lyles choose to look at it as a new opportunity. Both had secured NCAA Division 1 scholarships two years ago – Murphy with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Lyles with the Boston College Eagles – but they watched as their playing time dwindled, causing their development to stagnate. The duo played in a combined 31 games over those two seasons, and not wanting to endure another year of limited ice time, they both decided it was time for a change. And they both landed with the Vernon Vipers, with a chance to play a full 60-game B.C. Hockey League season and reignite their development under the guidance of coaches Mark Ferner and Jason Williamson. “When you have an opportunity to add two guys from quality schools... you’re pretty lucky,” said Ferner. “It’s two positions where we’ve had to fill a lot of holes (Murphy is a centreman, Lyles plays defence) and we didn’t have to give anything up to get them.” Murphy, a Fairhaven, N.J. product, played at Shattuck St. Mary’s prep school near Minnesota (Sidney Crosby and Jonathan Toews both attended there) before joining the Irish. “It wasn’t the greatest situation for me hockeywise (at Notre Dame). I love the school, but I wasn’t getting a whole lot of (ice) Kyle Murphy time,” said Murphy, 20, who missed the Vipers’ Wednesday practice with a minor injury sustained in Saturday’s exhibition game against the Trail Smoke Eaters. On returning to junior A, he added: “I think a lot of people will look at it and think of it as a demotion, but that’s absolutely not what I look at it as. It’s a big opportunity... to help my own game and also get a great experience out of it.” At 5-foot-8, Murphy has had many people question his size, but he just lets his tenacious playing style do the talking.

Malcolm Lyles, a Miami Gardens, Fla. product, looks up ice during a skating drill at a Vernon Vipers practice Wednesday morning at Wesbild Centre. “I’ve never been one of the bigger guys out there, but I feel if you’re quick enough and strong enough it’s not that big a deal. You can work around it.” Added Ferner: “He’s not a huge person, but he understands the game very well. Very competitive and a very responsible guy – he’s a hockey player.” As for Lyles, he began playing hockey in Miami Gardens, Fla. when the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers were still fledgling NHL franchises. He credits his older brother Milton, now a speedy defenceman with the University of North Carolina Tar Heels men’s lacrosse team, for getting him involved in the sport. “I was following my brother. He started first and it looked like fun so I followed right behind him,” said Lyles, who turns 21 on New Year’s Day. Lyles, who attended Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts before joining the Eagles, had a near identical experience to Murphy. “Ultimately, I wanted to play more hockey and I wasn’t going to get the opportunity to play at Boston College with all the high-end recruits they bring in,” he said. “I thought I’d do what’s best for me and come play junior A
9PM
in Canada. “I get a chance to get more experience, a lot more games, and the way Ferner coaches out here, he slows the game down so I have the chance to find some things I didn’t have in high school and didn’t have going into college, so I’ll be able to complete my game by being out here.” Ferner described the 5-foot-11 Lyles as a naturally gifted athlete who needs a little guidance to polish his understanding of the game. “All the tools are there,” added Ferner. Murphy and Lyles aren’t the first players to return to junior A after struggling in NCAA. Former Viper d-man Dan Nycholat came back from Northeastern University Huskies to help the Vipers claim their sixth national junior A championship last season. He picked up another scholarship with Dartmouth Big Green in the process. The Vipers host the Salmon Arm SilverBacks in BCHL exhibition play tonight at Wesbild Centre. They visit the Gorillas Saturday at the Sunwave Centre. The two teams open the regular season in another home-and-home, which goes Friday, Sept. 10 at Wesbild and the following night at Sunwave.
Vernon’s Murray Bennetto capped a good run at the Canadian National Senior Tennis Championships in Vancouver last week. He and his doubles partner Glenn Richards, a pro from North Vancouver, claimed the Men’s 45 doubles title with a 6-4, 7-5 victory over Mike Kerr and Paul Devine. In the semifinals, Bennetto and Richards took down the top seeds Tony and Pat Macken of Vancouver 6-3, 6-4. It marked the first time that the Mackens had lost a match at the Canadian Nationals in the several years they had competed. Richards was the champion in the Men’s 45 singles, beating Bennetto 6-3, 6-4 in a hard fought semifinal match. Bennetto won the third-place playoff by defeating No. 3 seed Denis Dumas of Quebec. He also knocked off eighth ranked Glenn Cleland of Fredricton, as well as No. 2 Ray Daumler of Manitoba earlier. The 47-year-old Bennetto, a former pro from Hong Kong, came into the event unseeded, having not played a national or provincial event since returning to Canada five years ago. This was his first Canadian championship, although he won the Hong Kong National Men’s Open Doubles title in 2003. Other area players who competed in the Senior Nationals were Craig Tilander and Winston Pain, who lost to Dumas and Richards, respectively in the second round of the Men’s 45 singles, Meryl Ogden, who retired injured in the second round of the Womens 50s, Lesley Cole, who lost in the first round in women’s 60 singles and Ray Kimoto, who reached the Mens 70s consolation semis. Bob Langford of Salmon Arm reached the third round of the Men’s 50 singles. Bennetto is among close to 90 entrants scheduled to play in this weekend’s 100th Labour Day Tennis Classic at the Kalamalka Country Club. He beat Alex Kotai of Abbotsford 2-1 in last year’s A singles final while teaming with former student Erin Crockett of Vernon to take the doubles title over George Koscis of Armstrong and Peter Malone of Penticton. The men’s A and B singles finals go Sunday at 1p.m. while the men’s and ladies doubles finals are scheduled for 7 p.m. the same day.

KELOWNA – Norway and Slovenia aren’t exactly the hotbeds of European hockey. Andreas Stene and Gal Koren would like nothing more than to put their respective countries on the map as members of the Kelowna Rockets.
Stene, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound centre from Oslo, Norway, was the Western Hockey League club’s first pick, 25th overall in this summer’s the CHL Import draft. The Rockets took Koren – a 6-foot-1 forward out of Ljubljana, Slovenia – in the second round, 64th overall.

Messer graces cover KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
At just 15, Ryan Messer of the VSS Panthers is already a cover boy. It's not Sports Illustrated or GQ, but Messer appears on the front of the 2010 High School Football Rules Simplified & Illustrated book. The photo, taken by Panthers' linebacker coach Keith Johnston, shows Messer carrying the ball and breaking away from a member of the Valleyview Vikings in league play last season. "I do remember the play," said the speedy running back. "I got about 25, 30 yards on the play. It was a pitch from (quarterback) Caton Garvie." Messer had been given the photo by Johnston, who has shot everything from Pee Wee football to the Houston Texans of the NFL. Johnston submits about 50 photos from various spots to Referees Magazine every three months, most of his pictures showing an official making a call. "Usually, they use a photo which illustrates a play, but this one is a legal play, just a simple action shot," said Johnston, 61. "This rules book is used by Canada and 48 states. Texas and Massachusetts play by NCAA rules."
The 200-page rule book is brought to life with exclusive PlayPic and MechaniGram illustrations, bringing clarity to many officiating situations. There is also a quick reference signal chart, easy-to-read penalty summary and more than 150 illustrations. Messer, who attended Silver Star Elementary, played for the junior varsity Cats last year. The Baltimore Ravens' fan is among 35 players in camp for the senior team this season. "That's awesome," he said of the cover shot, which until now has only been a fridge ornament. "My teammates are razzing me, saying I'm lucky." Johnston, who also had the 2009 cover without knowing about it, was raised in Calgary but played high school and Division 3 college football in Texas. Always "the smallest lineman", he made honourable mention all-Texas College while in Austin, and was first team all Canadian while with McMaster University Marauders in Hamilton. He has been photographing sports for seven years and joined Sean Smith's coaching staff last season a few months after moving to Vernon. "I've been on the football field for 48 years; it's in my blood," he smiled.
Williamson sails to Cadet silver Morning Star Staff
A Vernon youth was among the a trio of Team B.C. boats that stormed the podium at the National Sea Cadet Regatta recently in Kingston, Ont. Petty Officer Second Class Cody Williamson, from 63 Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps KALAMALKA, along with his skipper, Petty Officer First Class Chad Grandison of Campbell River, sailed to a silver medal and the Navy League of Canada trophy as runners-up at the four-day regatta. The event pits the best sailors from Atlantic, Central, Eastern, Prairie, and Pacific regions against each other for the title of the top sea cadet sailors in the country. The medal sweep is the second time the Pacific region has dominated the podium, a testament to the accomplishments that all the coaches, sailors and team members in work towards. This was Williamson’s second appearance at
nationals and his first medal. An all-around athlete, he also competes in biathlon. This summer, he was a sail instructor at HMCS QUADRA Sea Cadet Summer Training Centre in Comox, where he taught Sea Cadets from across Canada attending a six-week “trade group two” sail course. Royal Canadian Sea Cadets is a national youth program jointly sponsored by the Department of National Defence/Canadian Forces and the Navy League of Canada. The program aims to develop leadership and citizenship, physical fitness and stimulate an interest in the maritime activities of the Canadian navy, and is open to boys and girls aged 12-18. A new training year will begin shortly for the more than 1,200 Sea Cadets in 31 corps across B.C. For more information, phone 1-800-661-8733 or visit www.cadets.ca.

Young brings the Heat GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Jordan Young never had to travel far to get to school. Living just a block away from Fulton Secondary, he could walk to class in the time it took his classmates to find a spot in the student parking lot. So it wasn’t all that surprising when the 18-year-old recently accepted a scholarship with the UBC Okanagan Heat men’s volleyball team just down the road in Kelowna. “I got offers from other schools, and I looked into them but UBC O was where I wanted to go,” said the 6-foot-3 power outside hitter. Captain of the Fulton Maroons for three years, Young led his squad to the B.C. High School Boys Championship semifinals last year, and was named a tournament all-star. He feels they were capable of a much better result. “We came second in Valleys, but then in provincials we kind of choked,” he said. Young also helped the Kelowna Kannonz strike silver at the Under 18 club volleyball provincials. Maroons’ head coach Steve Cann credited Young for working as hard off the court as he does on it to ensure his grades met UBC O’s entrance requirements. “I’m happy to see he put it all together in the classroom so he could play at the university level,” he said. “He has what it takes to play at the next level. He has learned to pass well and he’s always been a big hitter.”
Young knows he will be the low man at his position on the Heat depth chart going into the season, but plans on using his rookie underdog status as extra incentive to work his way up the ranks. “There are two or three above me, but it depends on how hard I work,” he said. “I’m the rookie on the team, but apparently they expect good things, so I’ll see what happens.” Heat head coach Greg Poitras agreed with Young’s assessment, saying the Vernon product has the potential to earn quality floor time this season. “Jordan will provide our squad with very good depth from both wing hitting positions. He has already shown he can put points on the board against some of the best college-level players in the country. “We expect Jordan to have an impact in our program immediately. Should he continue to improve physically, and on the court, he will definitely push for a starting roll.” The Heat are scheduled to make the transition from the B.C. Colleges Athletic Association (BCCAA) to the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) Canada West Conference in September 2011, another key component in Young’s decision to sign with the school. “I get to start in the college league so I can get some time and then next year move into the CIS and see how the transition goes.” Young will take general studies in his first year, and is considering earth sciences as a major.

outstanding collegiate GrecoRoman style wrestler, Severn is a three-time UFC champion, competing back in the days when the organization used primarily a tournamentstyle format. He is one of a select few mixed martial artists to have reached the century mark in fights, posting an impressive 94-16-7 record. The 6-foot-2, 250-pound behemoth is also remembered by many for his dominant shoot wrestling style that he showcased in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in the late 1990s. The 52-yearold has held numerous title belts during his pro wrestling career, including two NWA World Heavyweight titles. Also crashing the mat will be Thrash Wrestling champion Michael More, who recently returned from Abbottsford where he wrestled alongside former WWE star (Highlander) Robbie MacAllister. More will tangle with Massive Dammage, a 300-pound monster out of Edmonton who plans to destroy the cocky rookie and take the TW championship. Some of the other wrestlers on the card include The Friar MacBeth, “From Hell” Minion, Vernon’s Seth Knight, and (Mad Dog) Marty Sugar.
There will also be a live music performance by the up-andcoming Vernon rockers Must Be Murder. Tickets for Feed the Beast range from $15 to $30. Frontand second-row ticket holders should show up half an hour before the doors open at 6 p.m. for a meet and greet with Severn. Showtime is at 7 p.m. Tickets are available in Vernon at Bean to Brew (3202 31st Street) and Dangerous Clothing (1-2804 48th Avenue), or in Armstrong at Bogart’s Music (3545 Okanagan Street). Earlier in the day, Severn will be conducting a two-hour MMA seminar (1-3 p.m.) at Unity Martial Arts Centre at the organization’s new dojo, located at 3106 30th Avenue. “He was the first mixed martial artist to enter the scene as an internationalcalibre wrestler,” said Unity’s Raja Lee. “He’s a pioneer for other wrestlers who got into the sport. With his skill and knowledge, anybody who is serious about the sport would benefit from this seminar.” Cost for the seminar is $80.

Heidt Peaks at Silver Star Morning Star Staff
Vernon's Aaron Heidt has won prestigious trail runs like the North Shore Knee Knacker and the Grouse Grind. The former Squamish athlete added the Salomon 5 Peaks title Sunday at Silver Star Mountain Resort. Heidt covered the scenic 14-kilometre race in one hour, five minutes and seven seconds. He collected shoes and other sports gear. It was the first time Silver Star hosted a B.C. Coastal Trail Run Series event. The next race is the B.C. Hydro run Sept. 25 at Buntzen Lake Reservoir in Anmore, 30 kilometres outside of Vancouver. "Aaron is quite an accomplished runner," said Glenn Bond of Silver Star.” "He said it was the best 5 Peaks event he's ever ran, and he's raced all across Canada and the U.S. He's always a top contender." Tim Andrews of Silver Star, an Aussie, finished second in 1:10:24, also competing in the men's 30-39 class. Race organizers chose Silver Star for its challenging terrain and a course which incorporates different obstacles, from roots and rocks to fallen trees and small creeks. Bond said there were 97 entrants in the event, including the 14-k enduro race, 5.4-k sport course and a short kids run. The sport distance climbed parallel to a ski run through a forested area, and then cut across the mountain through meadows on a single-track trail. The enduro course climbed to the summit and
looped out, using hiking trails constructed by local trail builders. "It was about two degrees first thing in the morning, but by race time, it was 10 degrees," said Bond. "It was an ideal temperature for running. All the runners were raving about the trails." Skeets Morel was third in 1:10:57 to take the men's 20-29 crown, while Brian May finished fourth in 1:12:25 for the No.3 spot in men's 30-39. Cam Egan rounded out the top-five in 1:12:41, good for second in men's 20-29. Steve Russell in 1:13:20, Tim Dickinson in 1:15:17, Trevor Jordan in 1:18:13, Mike Reid in 1:30:43 and Bond in 1:21:43, closed out the top10. Jordan topped the men's 40-49 group. Jaime Lazar was 11th and the top female, in 1:22:09, while Mary Edgar was 12th in 1:24:49, winning the 20-29 class. Kerri Treherne won the women's 40-49 title in 1:27:11, putting her 18th overall amongst 50 finishers. Abbigail May ended up 13th overall in 1:24:56, while Jennifer Bond finished 14th in 1:25:23. Both women are in the 30-39 category. Tim Anstett, running in the 40-49 class, placed 15th in 1:26:28, followed by division mate Ian Stuart in 1:26:57. Murray Flock was the top men’s 50-59 group racer in 1:27:05. In the sport course race, it was Anthony Barber winning in 28 minutes and 31 seconds, followed by John Jenkins at 30:11. Both are 20-29 age groupers. Erica Milligan was the top female in 32:25, good for sixth overall in a field of 24 finishers.

The European duo, both of whom are fluent in English, arrived in Kelowna last week, several days ahead of main training camp to get acclimatized to their new team and new surroundings. The Rockets hope the additions of Stene and Koren will address at least one of the team’s biggest deficiencies from last season – a lack of size up front. But because both players are largely unfamiliar with both Canada and the WHL, the Rockets plan to exercise a considerable degree of patience. “I think with the commitment they both made to come over here, we have to give them a fair chance to make our hockey club,” said Rockets GM Bruce Hamilton. “They haven’t played at this level, they don’t know our league and they’re not used to playing the number of games we play here. There’s going to be an adjustment period and there’s no big hurry on our part.” Hamilton cited the 2005-06 season as a classic example of the unpredictability of whether or not European players develop into bona fide major junior players. “That year we had Thomas Raffl who was a world-beater at training camp, then kind of sputtered after that,” he said. “We also had Alex Edler who really took a lot of time to find his way, but once he learned the game and got his confidence, he was one of our better players. Some get out of the gate fast and some don’t.” While neither Stene or Koren had much prior knowledge of the Rockets or the WHL, both have long dreamed of the chance to play in North America and to eventually pursue a pro career. “In Norway, hockey is not a big sport but everybody knows how big it is in Canada,” said Stene, 19, who played in the Norwegian men’s league last season with Vaalerenga. “I hoped to get drafted, but
FRED SCHAAD/BLACK PRESS
Norwegian Andreas Stene (left) and Slovenian Gal Koren will look to fill two import spots on the Kelowna Rockets this season. you never know what will happen. I heard it was a good team in Kelowna, so I’m happy they picked me.” Stene grew up idolizing fellow Europeans Pavel Bure and Peter Forsberg. Koren – and all other aspiring young Slovenian players of today – closely follow the exploits of Los Angeles Kings forward Anze Kopitar. Like so many European players before him, Koren will need to make some adjustments to life in North America. But he doesn’t anticipate homesickness being one of the issues. “I played in Germany for the last two or three years, so I’ve been away from home a lot,” said Koren, 18. “I don’t think it will be a problem.” Unlike Koren, Stene has some experience on this side of the Atlantic having attended the Chicago Blackhawks’ prospects camp last year. He also played for Norway at the U18 world championship in 2009 in Minnesota. The Rockets will battle the Vancouver Giants in a exhibition play this weekend – tonight in Ladner, and Saturday, 7 p.m. at Prospera Place.

Sports Harvest hockey back in Vernon
PLAY BALL!
Morning Star Staff
The 14th annual Vernon Senior Oldtimers Harvest Hockey Jamboree goes Oct. 4-7 at the Wesbild Centre. The tournament begins with dinner and players' meetings on the Monday at the Schubert Centre at 5 p.m. Games begin on Tuesday and run daily from 8 a.m until 5 p.m. A steak barbecue will be held on Tuesday night at the Army, Navy and Airforce Club. Spouses, partners and friends are invited to attend social events as well as games. Breakfasts are available on Tuesday and Wednesday. "The Harvest Hockey Jamboree tournament format sets it apart from other Oldtimers tournaments," said tourney director Dave Todd. "Participants enter individually and teams are made up according to age and ability. The format works well; games are well-balanced and competitive with a great spirit of fellowship and camaraderie, and many players return year after year." Last year’s jamboree featured 160 participants with an age range of 55 to 86. Half of the tournament players were 70 years of age or older. The early registrations for this year's event indicate a strong contingent of players and wives from Alberta and Saskatchewan. "Many of these folks combine a little hockey with a vacation in the Okanagan." Entrants are still needed in the Rookies and Classics divisions, ages 55-65 and 66-71 respectively, and the Legends division, ages 72 and better, still has a few openings. Entry forms can be downloaded and printed at the tournament website, www. senioroldtimershockey.com. Todd also has entry forms and can be reached at 250-549-2311.

Hill uncovers silver Morning Star Staff
With a national snowboardcross title already on his mantle, Vernon’s Kevin Hill tried to add a Canadian BMX crown to his collection Saturday at the National BMX Championships in Airdrie, Alta. In a field of 18 Elite riders, the 24-year-old settled for silver, a result he is more than happy with considering the amount of preparation he put in. “I have been very focused on snowboarding and BMX has kind of been on the side burner with little training,” admitted Hill. After racing through qualifiers and the semifinals, Hill realized he was in a very stacked final. “The gate dropped and I came out fast but was out-pedaled by another racer who I chased around the rest of the 37-second track to come in second.” Vernon’s Tyler Riva also competed in Airdrie in the 11 Expert class, placing Saturday and racing to a fifth-place finish in the Cruiser division Sunday.

!RT LOVERS DRINK IN ,AKE #OUNTRY !RT7ALK Grab a cup of Joe and enjoy this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coffee-theme art show BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
It may be the biggest juried annual art show in B.C., but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be intimidated. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ArtWalk event in Lake Country is the 17th annual show and organizers invite everyone from art connoisseurs to neophytes to come check out the many works on display, take an art class, or perhaps even purchase a piece for your home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big show but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a very friendly show,â&#x20AC;? said ArtWalk chairperson Sharon McCoubrey, adding there will be child-oriented workshops and other art-making sessions offered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not geared for the elite of the arts community.â&#x20AC;? More than 300 artists, all based in the Okanagan Valley, will be featured during event hours which run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 11 and Sunday, Sept. 12. All kinds of work from painting to sculpture to music to theatre will be on display. Thousands of dollars will be spent on hundreds of pieces of art this year as well. But McCoubrey says if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in buying some art, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to spend a lot to come away with something special. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have come to know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great place to see a huge range of art at a huge range of prices,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people come back just to see a certain artist and what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done since last year.â&#x20AC;? There will be more art and more artists at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show than ever before but
PHOTO SUBMITTED
A wide range of art and artists will again be on display at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ArtWalk event Sept. 11 and 12 at various locations around Lake Country. McCoubrey noted the quality of the work is not compromised for the sake of having a lot of artists included. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were after a good quality show for artists and the people that attend.â&#x20AC;? Each artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is scrutinized, or juried, by a panel before being included. All must show original work that has not been displayed before.
Every year, ArtWalk takes on a new theme and the motif for this year is coffee so the name of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show is Gallery Grande. The idea came about after a brainstorming session with all the ArtWalk directors and someone mentioned a double-double (coffee drink.) Coffee lends itself well to art and all artists have been encouraged to come up with a piece
of work that features the beverage which is a big part of many peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s morning routine. A barista competition will even be included where coffee makers from around the Okanagan will do their best designs with cream and foam on the top of the steaming mugs they prepare. And for this year only, there will be a coffee cake baking contest where individuals are encouraged to submit their best recipes. The goods will be dished up as part of a meetthe-artists reception Saturday evening. The reception is also a wine-and-cheese gathering with wine from Lake Countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Ex Nihilo Vineyard. The public will have a chance to meet the people behind the art after Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s showings wrap up at 5 p.m. Following the reception will be a concert at 7 p.m. at Creekside Theatre where Beatles tribute act the Fab Forever will perform. Tickets are $25, $23 for seniors and students and $84 for a four-pack. Call 250-766-9309 to order. Attendees will also be encouraged to vote for their favourite ArtWalk artist. Lake Countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jim Hayes is the three-time defending peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice winner and will have a collection displayed again this year. All in all, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a packed schedule that once again has had McCoubrey busy despite battling a bronchial infection that led to a bout of pneumonia. Fortunately, she has a team of about 20 dedicated volunteers that meet monthly to help get things together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting there,â&#x20AC;? said McCoubrey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a pretty willing group of people that meet all summer long.â&#x20AC;? Admission to ArtWalk is $2 with proceeds going to the local arts community.
'OVERNMENT RESPONDS TO " # !RTS #OUNCIL CUTS Morning Star Staff
The government has just announced that $7 million will go to the B.C. Arts Council from the 2010 Sports and Arts Legacy fund. In a media release released Wednesday, culture minister Kevin Krueger, said the increase will bring the arts councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget to just over $16 million for the current fiscal year, demonstrating the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to a strong, creative and growing arts community, even in difficult economic times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These monies will be distributed to the arts community,â&#x20AC;? he said. Provincial arts groups have been reeling from severe cuts to gaming funding and a 50 per cent slash to the B.C. Arts Council the past year. The governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement comes on the heels of the resignation of former arts council chair Jane
Danzo, who in a letter addressed to Krueger Aug. 16, stated she was disappointed with the lack of consultation around the creation of the legacy fund, which was initially established to fund cultural events around the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter games, deeming it was a surprise as much to the board as to the arts community. In her letter, Danzo said the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board and staff made a submission on Nov. 2009 to the committee on finance and governmental services recommending the government restore arts funding to 2008/09 levels. The motion was rejected in the March budget, and instead the legacy fund was established, providing $60 million over three years. Of this amount, $10 million had been budgeted for culture and the arts during the current fiscal year, with $3 million allocated for B.C. Spirit Festivals. The $7 million has been welcomed by the arts councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newly appointed interim chair Stan Hamilton, who said
the council will be able to advance the goals set out in its strategic plan, with a large portion of the funds going towards increased support for councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operating clients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board will immediately review the programs that council staff has been developing in recent months in order to ensure that the program details and the funds may be released to the community promptly,â&#x20AC;? said Hamilton. Some of the programs to be implemented may include support for the commissioning, creation, development and production of new works; artists in education; opportunities for the next generation of artists and further support for the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operating clients in the spring and autumn rounds, he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The legacy vision is consistent with these plans.â&#x20AC;?

M
ontreal singer/songwriter, NEeMA, possesses a selfassured, candid delivery that is part conversation and part statement. The singer brings a Zen-like presence to her lyrically rich compositions that speaks or sings directly to you. It’s easy to hear what fellow Quebec Dean Gordon-Smith troubadour, Leonard Cohen, who coproduced Watching You Think, sees in her: she’s another in a line of Canadian singer/songwriter/poets. NEeMA’s second album, Watching You Think, is a recording that brings a listener peace of mind for the realization and conclusion that there’s music still out there that doesn’t care or pander to com-

but never do, through honest imagery and the swaying rhythms of distant European cafés and basement bars. That sound and ambiance is merged with a Cohen-meets-Cat Power confessional (Eternity) that brings this back home to Quebec and old Canada; a shimmering Daniel Lanois-like landscape documented by NEeMA’s vulnerable, confident vocal. Is she singing or talking? Probably both, but it evades definition in the right way. NEeMA’s cover of Dire Straits’ Romeo and Juliet is unexpected and beautiful; opening another window to the sting of Knopfler’s lyrics and the universal pain of the song. Her own flowing ballad, Bone to Pick with Time, mirrors the same bittersweet sense of hopeful disappointment and oncoming destiny – it’ll get to you, just like this soulful music. Honourable mention must go to Elsa’s Lullaby, an ode to NEeMA’s dog that is one of the loveliest dog songs around – pure class.

A young girl is possessed in the mockumentary The Last Exorcism. Cotton’s goal here is to expose the fraud of his ministry by participating in a documentary. He’ll bamboozle the family into believing that he’s actually driving out a demon, thus debunking the tradition. But predictably, Nell’s case turns into more than he can handle. After witnessing the girl turn into a petslaughtering sociopath after dark, Cotton
determines that Louis’ daughter needs psychiatric help. A widowed, drunken, shotguntoting father, Louis has other solutions to his possibly demonpossessed child. A horror “mockumentary” like this works if only it can hold your interest. The Last Exorcism does. It actually poses

Payroll systems amalgamate TOM FLETCHER Black Press
B.C. school districts have started to amalgamate their payroll and business administration systems, and they should do the same with their banking and investments, auditor general John Doyle says. In a report on how colleges and school districts manage their money, Doyle found that different organizations keep widely varying amounts of cash on hand, and some report that they are reluctant to shop around for
banking services because of the time and cost involved in switching banks. “Although colleges and school districts use individually competitive procurement processes for banking and investment services, we doubt that they are able to be obtaining overall best value to government,” Doyle said in a report released Wednesday. “Given the size of government banking requirements, the central coordination of procurement for these services could benefit colleges and school districts substantially.”

Finding light out of the darkness Families/friends gather together for Suicide Prevention Awareness Vigil CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Everything seems dark and hopeless — there is too much loss, pain and confusion. No one seems to care. Suicide seems to be the only thing way out. But it never is. A caring community can see people through. The Suicide Prevention Committee is made up of representatives from 14 community agencies which provide help in various ways. The committee, together with the Canadian Mental Health Association community education and support program and the PIN Crisis Line, present the third Suicide Prevention Awareness Vigil in Polson Park Sept. 10. “It’s an opportunity to honour and remember those who have been lost to suicide and to think about how others can be spared the same loss,” said Sharon Durant, representing the CMHA community education and support program. “The people I spoke to at the event were very grateful to have this opportunity. It is difficult for families, because of the stigma, it it not acknowledged. It’s the kind of loss that people can’t express in the same way they can as when the person they loved died in a different way. “There is lots of judgment and guilt and some people feel ashamed. The reality is that when someone dies by suicide they’re feeling so helpless. They want the situation that was created somehow to go away and they didn’t know how to make it better.” The vigil will feature speakers, including some people who have lost loved ones to suicide, and information on recognizing the warning signs of suicide.
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY CORY BIALECKI
Rose petals will be tossed in the creek in Polson Park as part of the Suicide Prevention Awareness Vigil Sept. 10 at 6 p.m. “While prevention is important, people who have lost someone to suicide should not feel any guilt because not every suicide can be prevented,” said Durant. “The vigil is for anyone who has lost someone to suicide, recently or in the past. It is a place to come to a quiet, respectful atmosphere with others who understand.” The vigil will allow time for private,
silent recollections so that no one will have to say anything in public and will conclude with tossing rose petals (provided) in the creek as a symbol of remembrance. The Suicide Prevention Committee has a number of community initiatives including bringing in speakers and producing the Suicide Prevention Handbook and other material that is available in public places.
Anyone who feels that someone, or themselves, is at risk of suicide, can call the PIN Crisis Line at 250-545-2339, 24 hours a day/seven days a week for assistance and information. The Suicide Prevention Awareness Vigil will take place Sept. 10 at 6 p.m. at Polson Park. Anyone who has lost a loved one to suicide is welcome to this free event.
Cookbook serves up healthy, local food at IPE Morning Star Staff
A new resource book for local foods, RealFOOD, RealHEALTH, makes its debut at the Interior Provincial Exhibition. The book, written by Dr. Maureen Clement, chairman of the Canadian Diabetes Association and a local physician, and Kathryn Hettler, co-owner of Pilgrims’ Produce, an organic farm near Armstrong, features health tips and discusses more than 100 locally grown or raised foods.
This is Faye... Faye has ideas for your entire house.
There are also 150 recipes and simple serving suggestions, a list of farmers’ markets in the North Okanagan/Shuswap and a Guide to Local Growers, listing what they grow and where they sell it. The book is available at the IPE ($20 with $3 from every copy sold donated to the Haugen Health Society) at The Fieldstone Granary display near the Poultry Barn. There will be two food-related demonstrations each day from 11 to 11:30 a.m. and 3 to 3:30 p.m. at the Iron Chef site.
This morning’s presentation is We Need Bees, while this afternoon is Foods Alive. There is no demo during the parade Saturday morning, however, the afternoon presentation will be Tree Fruits. Sunday morning is Healthy Grains and in the afternoon is the Real Food - Real Health demonstration, a guide to finding, preparing and enjoying local foods, with Clement and Hettler speaking. For more information about the book contact Hettler at hettler@sunwave.net.

Babies kept safe with purple hats Morning Star Staff
Babies wearing purple hats this winter will be sending an important message before they can even talk â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a reminder that babies must never be shaken. The members of the Halina Centre crafts group are among the volunteers around the province who are knitting and crocheting purple baby hats for the Period of Purple Crying Prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome B.C. project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew that there was a problem when babies were shaken but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize how serious it was. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unbelievable what can happen to those children. We are happy to help out any way we can,â&#x20AC;? said Pat Dekergommeaux, who brought the project to the group. The members have made 50 hats, all different, and plan to make 50 more before the hats have to be sent to B.C. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital for distribution. Hats have been knitted by volunteers across the province and will be given to babies born the week of Nov. 15, which
While crying may indicate a need or illness, purple crying is a normal part of development and it will end. The word purple is an acronym to describe the characteristics of the crying: P â&#x20AC;&#x201C; peak of crying; U â&#x20AC;&#x201C; unexpected, comes and goes; R â&#x20AC;&#x201C; resists soothing, no matter what the parent does; P â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pain-like face even thought the baby is not in pain; L â&#x20AC;&#x201C; long lasting, can last for up to five hours or more; E â&#x20AC;&#x201C; evening, the baby may cry more in the late afternoon and evening. Some parents and caregivers find it diffi-
cult to cope with the frustration of caring for the baby and the baby is at risk for shaken baby syndrome. Shaking a baby can lead to a variety of mental and physical damage, sometimes lifelong, and can cause death. The Period of Purple Crying Prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome project originated with a group at B.C. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital which aims to educate parents and the public about the dangers of shaken baby syndrome. For more information see www.PURPLEcrying. info.

talking to me in the buff. I was mortified. I do not feel it was necessary to be stark naked while having a conversation, yet Lori acted as if there was nothing strange about it. I am not used to seeing other adult women naked. She has since asked if I will go back to the gym, but I do not want to find myself in such an uncomfortable situation again. I enjoyed the workout, but I don’t want to lie to her about my reasons for staying away. What should I tell her? — Modest Mary Dear Mary: We hate to break it to you, but that is normal behavior for a gym locker room. You can thank Lori and tell her you prefer to exercise at home, but since you enjoyed the workout, we think you should give it another try.

We have a wonderful marriage in every way, except I would like him to want to have sex with me. Don’t misunderstand. We have a regular and fairly satisfying sexual relationship, but it doesn’t include normal intercourse, only “alternative” forms of sex. It makes me feel undesirable. I’m not sure what I am doing wrong. We never argue, I don’t nag, I’m attractive and keep fit, and I love doing things with him and for him. Yet he doesn’t want to be intimate the way I’d like. It makes me believe he isn’t attracted to me, and I am missing a big part of being his wife.

reason why your husband enjoys sex more in alternative forms, and of course, there is also the possibility that he is gay. Have you discussed this with him? Has he provided a reason that makes sense to you, or does he seem to be making excuses? Is he willing to please you by occasionally having intercourse the way you prefer? We think he needs to see his doctor, you both need to see a sex therapist (American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapist at aasect. org), or it’s time for marriage counseling.

Traffic safety vital Morning Star Staff
During the first week of school, and throughout the school year, school zones can be one of the most dangerous places for a child pedestrian. The BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation would like parents, caregivers and all drivers to be aware of a few facts as kids head back to school. Research shows that most child pedestrian related injuries occur in September and October, followed by May and June, and children aged five to 14 years are at the greatest risk for pedestrian-related fatalities. The most frequently reported child pedestri-

ICBC reduces basic insurance premiums JEFF NAGEL Black Press
Motorists will get a modest break on basic auto insurance premiums after years of fat profits for the Insurance Corporation of B.C. The public auto insurer has been ordered to reduce basic rates 2.4 per cent effective Nov. 1. It’s a deeper cut than the 1.9 per cent ICBC had proposed because regulators at the B.C. Utilities Commission (BCUC) decided expenses were lower than expected, leaving room to lop off another half point. “They crunched the numbers and came up with a slightly different calculation,” ICBC president Jon Schubert. “It’s the first time we’ve been able to reduce basic rates in more than a decade.” Less frequent claims and better driving weather are the main reasons for the reduced expenses, even though average claim costs continue to climb, especially for injury crashes. “It’s our customers’ smart driving that really allows us to do this,” Schubert said. ICBC will have to cut much further, however, to get basic rates back down to 2005 levels – increases in 2006 and 2007 raised basic premiums nearly 10 per cent. ICBC recorded another $232 million in net earnings for the first half of this year, the latest in a long string of hefty profits. And the provincial government this year moved to tap some of the cash ICBC generates to pay down B.C.’s deficit. It ordered ICBC to hand over $487 million from its reserves and set aside similar dividends for Victoria in future years. Canadian Taxpayers Federation spokesperson Maureen Bader said rates should be cut even further so there’s less surplus money left for the province to raid. “There’s no way the
average driver should have to be subsidizing the govenment’s pet projects like the B.C.
Place roof and green energy subsidies,” she said. But Schubert said
payments to the province are unrelated to basic rates, because they are paid out of profits
made on the optional side of ICBC’s business. Basic rates are regulated by the BCUC
because they are compulsory for all motorists and no private insurers compete with ICBC to
provide the service. Optional rates, where there is competition, is unregulated.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- That opportunity to talk to someone essential to your plans might not come until midday, so don’t get discouraged early on. Keep the faith, and you’ll end up with what you want. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Although you might start out a bit down in the dumps, your upbeat spirit will grow as the day wears on, providing a lot of pizzazz. Hope you like crowds, because you may draw one. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Regardless of how your day starts, concentrate on achieving your major objectives. Conditions will improve with time, and things will work out better than you could ever hope. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The quickest way to get over the blues is to have a good old-fashioned conversation with a few choice pals who always lighten your spirits. If you give them a call, they will come through. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Chances are there is something significant you want to change but have been reluctant to do so. Remove that spur from under your saddle, and gallop forward at full speed. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Individually, you and some friends may have little to offer; collectively, however, you could be a mighty force. Don’t be impassive; get everyone together, and act in unison when it counts. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Be sure to take the plans you make with friends seriously, because your pals will take your commit-
ment to them in earnest. Disappointing them would be extremely unwise. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your popularity could be ascending at this time, and both friends and family alike will make sure that you’re included in their plans. This could turn out to be a busy day for you.

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 Louis Nizer, a lawyer who was born in England but practiced in the United States, said, “I know of no higher fortitude than stubbornness in the face of overwhelming odds.” Sometimes the odds that you are going down in your contract will be overwhelming. But be stubborn -- try to find a distribution that will let you get home. In this deal, you are in four hearts. West leads the diamond ace, then adroitly shifts to a trump. You seem to have four losers: one spade and three diamonds. Is there any chance? North’s one-spade response increased the value of your hand, making it well worth your three-heart
jump-rebid. North raised to game, hoping for the best. If West had not led a heart at trick two, you could have ruffed a diamond in the dummy to give you 10 tricks: two spades, six hearts, one club and that ruff. What, though, would you do now? You could play another diamond, hoping that West is now out of hearts. However, that is very unlikely. Instead, assume the spades are splitting 3-3 and play to establish a third trick in that suit. True, the a priori chance of that happening is only 35.53 percent, but that is a lot better than nothing. However, if you draw trumps immediately, then, when you lose a spade trick, the opponents will
cash two more diamonds to defeat you. At trick three, while you still have a trump in the dummy to ruff a third round of diamonds, play a low spade from both hands. Then, win whatever comes back, draw trumps, and hope the spades are obliging.

James (Jim) Garfield Higginson Jim passed away peacefully at Vernon Hospice House on Thursday, August 26, 2010 at the age of 87 years, after a lengthy battle with cancer. Jim was born July 25, 1923 in Donegal, SK, the fourth child (and only son) of Irish immigrants. He began his working life with the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, then owned a General Store in Bechard, SK, followed by owning and running a Royalite Bulk Fuel Dealership then began his long-standing civil service career with the Government of Canada. When he retired in 1984, he was managing the Canadian Employment and Immigration Centre in Lloydminster, SK. Following his retirement, Jim and his wife moved to beautiful Vernon, BC. During his “retirement”, Dad had various endeavours, some of which were owning a used book store, bookkeeping for Bertelsen Plumbing and Little Kingdom store. Dad loved reading, crossword puzzles, winning at cards and games with friends and family and taking his chances with the slots at the casino. He loved telling and hearing a good joke and always had time for a visit. Jim will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife of 56 years, Sybil; his three sons, Richard (Linda) of Vernon, BC, Gary of Vernon, BC and Spencer (Julie) of Red Deer, AB and by one daughter, Hilary Wolgram of Armstrong, BC. He is also survived by his beloved 7 grandchildren and one greatgranddaughter. At Dad’s request, there will be no formal service, however, a private family gathering was held.
