Tourism strong despite weather RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Tourists have been beating a path to the North Okanagan despite poor weather. Rain and less-than-seasonal temperatures trumped the valley’s legendary heat during much of May and June. But those who monitor the tourism industry say there has been little negative impact. “When we compare May and June of 2010 to the same period in 2011, we are up by over 20 per cent,” said executive director Tate Bengston of visitors stopping at the Enderby Chamber of Commerce. “We have noticed a fairly significant increase in European visitors and a smaller increase in Albertan visitors. As well, we have had more car and cycling club tours stop by due to Enderby’s central location.” Where the weather kept tourists away, was people who live within two hours of Enderby. Bengston is optimistic about the rest of the summer. “Hits to our website are up over last year and interest in the Exploring Enderby guide has surged, which suggests ongoing interest in Enderby’s attractions and amenities,” he said.
Staff and volunteers at Vernon’s visitor information centres have also been kept busy. “A large number of Europeans have come here and they come despite the weather because they booked their trips months ago,” said said Michelle Jefferson, Tourism Vernon manager. Traffic from the Lower Mainland and Calgary was slower in May and June, but that is increasing as the weather improves. “There is more awareness of Vernon and that translates into an ability for people to come to Vernon,” said Jefferson. Sunshine and warm temperatures couldn’t come soon enough for Atlantis Waterslides. “It’s been a really slow start,” said manager Elaine Dillabaugh of the rain and lateseason chill that kept crowds away. “But it’s starting to pick up. People want to get refreshed in the water.” A major boost for the tourism industry came over the Canada Day long weekend. “Funtastic brings thousands of people into the area and the accommodations were JENNIFER SMITH/MORNING STAR mostly full. Davison Orchards ran out of Rylie Swiscoski, 12,takes advantage of the summer weather and races down a flume at Atlantis pies July 1 and O’Keefe Ranch had a great Waterslides in Vernon. weekend,” said Jefferson.

“Could I have come back and won the (Royal Bank) Cup again? Yeah, and then what?” he shrugged. “We love Vernon – the people, the fans, the media, the kids. It was the best four years of coaching for me. Sooner or later, like our kids (Vipers), you’ve got to move on.” Vipers’ owner Duncan Wray didn’t have to look far to find Ferner’s replacement. After discussing his resignation Monday morning, Wray walked across the office and informed assistant coach Jason Williamson of his promotion. “We knew something was going to happen here sooner or later, but it’s always a shock when it does,” said Williamson, who agreed to a three-year head coach/GM contract Tuesday. “It’s a great opportunity to coach one of the premier franchises in all of junior hockey. “I’ve been here four years as a coach and
three (1999-2002) as a player, and expectations are high here. I’ve seen both sides of the coin. We look forward to continuing on with the strong tradition that we already have.” Said Wray: “It really was a no-brainer. I think Willy knew deep down that was my goal that if he was here when Mark left that he would get the job.” Regarding Ferner, he added: “It was a tough moment for both of us because we have a great relationship. I know he wanted to stay but the opportunity was just too good to move on. “Every player that played for him respected him. I know he’ll be successful wherever he goes. “I told him when he gets to the NHL, I expect tickets waiting for me when I get into town.” The Vipers are in the process of finding a new assistant coach.

News Campaign for hospital beds expands RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Demands for more resources at Vernon Jubilee Hospital are gaining momentum. Residents and groups are joining together to lobby the provincial government to complete two shelled-in floors in VJH’s new tower for acute care beds. “I’ve been getting e-mails from people wanting to help or associations wanting to be added to the list we will send in to the government,� said Peter Hill, a resident who is spearheading the community campaign. “(MLA) Eric Foster has asked to see me.� VJH is funded for 148 acute care beds but on average, there are 165 patients daily. Patients are placed in hallways and surgeries have been cancelled. On July 1, about 200 people attended a rally organized by Hill in front of the tower. “It shows the government that the community is responding with the request for the two floors,� said Hill. “We are committed to seeing those two floors completed.� Foster has been urging the Ministry of Health to proceed with the floors and he insists public lobbying will help. “There was a positive message and a good group of people at the rally. It reinforces

done), it’s a question of when,� he said, adding, though, that the government faces considerable financial pressures. “It’s a question of raising the money and
that’s what I’m working on.� It could cost $10 million to develop each of the floors, and then $10 million each annually to operate the floors.
Residents urged to show support for Hassen Arena ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The city known for cheese and agriculture takes on a town that hosts a legendary brewery. It’s Armstrong versus Creston, where Kokanee Beer is made, for the right to host the B.C. leg of the Kraft Celebration Tour and a chance for the community to win $25,000 and have TSN broadcast its Sportscentre show live from the community. The two communities were named finalists July 1 and will faceoff against each other in a one-day, online voting contest Monday to see who wins. “It’s really exciting,� said Armstrong Coun. Ryan Nitchie. “We have only one week to win $25,000 and have TSN visit our community.� Armstrong would use the money to upgrade the aging Hassen Arena. Creston wants the cash to fix up its community centre.
MORNING STAR FILE PHOTO
Armstrong’s Hassen Arena is the focus of a competition for $25,000. “It’s a great opportunity for our town to get some money to renovate the old Hassen Arena,� said Nitchie. Nitchie is asking for 15 minutes of North Okanagan residents’ time on Monday. Voting runs from 9 a.m. Monday to 8:59:59 a.m. Tuesday. The community with the most votes will be announced on Tuesday night’s TSN Sportscentre broadcast. “We’re looking at it as 15 minutes of your time for Hassen,� said Nitchie. “You can repeat vote.
When you vote online, you can vote as many times in 24 hours as your mouse finger will let you.� The Armstrong Kraft Celebration Tour committee hopes to set up a computer bank Monday, and it is looking for volunteers to help with voting. The location of the bank will be announced ASAP, on Armstrong’s Kraft Celebration Tour Facebook page. “We’re trying to fill time slots with organizations, groups, anybody who can come out and do some online voting for us at a com-
puter bank,� said Nitchie. Anybody who would like to volunteer can phone Nitchie at 250-546-3726 or e-mail him at rockslacrosse@yahoo.com. Originally built in the 1950s as a show hall for the annual Interior Provincial Exhibition, Hassen Arena was converted for sports use shortly after. Hassen Arena was decommissioned as an ice facility in 2005 after Nor-Val Sports Centre was built. Hassen is still used for lacrosse, roller derby and the IPE. “We have a very unique facility in the North Okanagan that is used regionally by users for all sports and activities, and it really needs some cosmetic upgrades as well as some substantial infrastructure upgrades,� said Nitchie. Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper has wagered 10 cases of Okanagan Spring 1516 beer against Creston Mayor Ron Toyota, who has offered up 10 cases of Kokanee Beer.
With the help of Askew’s Foods and the Armstrong-Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce, Armstrong’s nomination garnered more than 700 supporters during the nomination period. That helped impress the judges and helped secure a top-20 spot. To vote for Armstrong on Monday, go to www.kraftcelebrationtour.ca.

Funtastic festival swings up success ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Some teams dressed as Super Mario video game characters. Others were dressed as super heroes, doctors, nurses, Borat or the Blues Brothers. One team paid homage to Hollywood actor Chuck Norris, taking the plural of his name and coming up to the North Okanagan for the second year in a row to participate as Chuck Norii. Another squad, a combined Fort St. James-Vernon entry, was the talk of the beer gardens Saturday night, having ended a nearly decade-long losing streak with a comefrom-behind win. Overall, there were smiles, laughs and a ton of memories made at the annual Funtastic Summer Festival, held over the Canada Day long weekend. More than 200 teams played in Vernon with the army camp serving as game and party central. Another 80-plus teams gathered in Armstrong and Enderby. “It went really well,” said Funtastic Sports Society president Brett Kirkpatrick. “We had sellouts. We had people from all over the country. There were 5,000 people that I know came here (to Vernon) from outside of the community.” Besides the softball, people also gather at the Vernon Armp Camp to have some post-game beverages and enjoy live music. Canadian rock legends Glass Tiger headlined Thursday’s music festival. American band Great White was showcased on Canada Day and Bon Jovi tribute

A number of local bands helped liven up the crowd each night before the headliners. Of course, the concern is that there will be problems with that many people and that much alcohol consumed in one place. “We had no major issues,” said Kirkpatrick.
“We have great co-operation with the RCMP. We meet with them before and after to discuss things. It really was uneventful in that regard this year, which is what we want.” “Funtastic was a great event in all of the communities involved,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “From our perspective we were busy, but

Vernon Army Camp military police officer Master Cpl.

The Regional District of North Okanagan - Greater Vernon Water Utility (RDNO - GVWU) advises that the Water Quality Advisory will continue until further notice for customers on the Duteau Creek water source. GVWU has been actively monitoring the water quality and all bacterial tests have been clear, however, the Duteau Creek Water Treatment Plant has been unable to achieve turbidity under 1.5 NTU. As a result, the water quality rating remains as FAIR. Until color and turbidity return to normal, those with young children, the elderly, weakened immune systems or anyone requiring additional protection should boil their water for one (1) minute when using the water for drinking, washing fruit and vegetables, making beverages and brushing teeth. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the RDNO-GVWU at 250.550.3700. Please check the website for information and further updates at www.rdno.ca.

Military police prepare for cadets’ arrival ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Approximately 900 cadets will make their way to town between Thursday and Aug. 18 to take part in activities at the Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre. And it’s Master Cpl. Blair Hiscock’s job to make sure the cadets are safe. Hiscock and two others are the badgecarrying members of the camp’s military police. “We’re responsible for defence establishments and enforcing regulations, federal and provincial,” said Hiscock who was introduced to Vernon media on Monday. “Our main goal is the safety of the personnel that we’re responsible for.” Hiscock, from Shilo, Man., and his two other officers will protect

Master Cpl. Blair Hiscock explains his role as one of three military police officers working at the Vernon Army Camp this summer to local media on Monday. Vernon Army Camp property and investigate any incidents on the Department of National Defence property that
houses the army camp. Should they have to leave the base, they have a memorandum of understanding to inter-
act with the Vernon RCMP detachment. “They have powers within our jurisdiction and we accept their
police officer status in Vernon,” said Vernon RCMP Cpl. Gerry Kovacs. “We welcome them working beside us. It’s a very close working relationship.” Dealing with teenagers and young adults aged 13 to 17, Hiscock said most of the issues military police deal with in Vernon are dealt with in-house. If a cadet gets into some problems off the base, that’s where the working relationship with the RCMP comes in. With the cadets about to arrive for the summer, Hiscock has a favour to ask local residents. “We’re asking the public to keep down their speed on Highway 97 and Mission Road by Camp Vernon,” said Hiscock. “We’ll have signs out saying ‘Marching troops.’ We’ll have teen-
agers and young adults marching back and forth over the roadways because of their separation from the camp.” Training activities at the army camp will close
Aug. 18 with a public graduation ceremony at 6:30 p.m. at the Dieppe parade square. Hiscock and his crew will be working until the end of August.

Taking a stand
C
ynicism and politicians go together like mac and cheese or Charlie Sheen and disaster. It often seems like elected officials will tell you what they think you want to hear and then do the opposite. Or it appears that their loyalties are with their party and not constituents. That’s why, quite honestly, I didn’t expect Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster to show up at the Canada Day rally at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. It would have been easy for him to sidestep residents who are frustrated with his government’s handling of the lack of acute care beds. Some claim he hasn’t been vocal enough on the matter. But part way through the event, Foster proved me wrong. Richard Rolke Wearing a Canada hockey jersey, he navigated his way through the crowd of about 200 people and climbed on top of a bench. From there, he indicated that he has been pushing the Ministry of Health regularly for acute care beds and that the situation at VJH is on his radar. He also thanked the residents for showing up because he believes a community-based outcry will reinforce his case to the Victoria bean counters. Like I mentioned earlier, Foster could have ignored the rally. After all, how many of us would want to face a crowd that is unhappy with an organization we represent? Confrontation is not something any of us covet. The reality is it’s also awkward for backbench Liberal MLAs to participate in events placing demands on the premier and cabinet. What helps though, is Foster has made the case for funding while not being openly critical of the government. And given that Foster

is in lock-step with his constituents, he won’t be punished for attending the rally. Premier Christy Clark isn’t going to risk public furor and the Liberals’ hold on Vernon-Monashee over VJH. But while Foster has joined the ranks of those wearing purple ribbons in solidarity with patients and health care professionals, there hasn’t been a peep from the rest of the provincial government. Where is Shuswap MLA George Abbott in all of this? Has he been lobbying for beds for his constituents who depend on VJH? Health Minister Michael de Jong toured the new Polson tower in April and he stated at the time that resolving overcrowding was a priority for his ministry. Not a word has been heard since. And then there is the premier. Clark should know what’s going on unless she doesn’t read newspapers, watch television, cruise the Internet or speak to her MLAs. Why hasn’t she visited Vernon to meet with the doctors and look at conditions first hand? As she assumed the premier’s chair, Clark established B.C. families as her government’s focus. Yet, the constant code purple at VJH is creating a crisis for North Okanagan families. People waiting for months are having surgeries cancelled. Seniors who can’t get into a residential care facility languish in the hospital. Patients experiencing serious ailments are shoved into a hallway. Doctors and nurses face challenging work conditions and that stress is then taken home. Foster showed last week that he isn’t just holding a seat for the Liberals. He faced his constituents head-on and joined them in a photo that will be sent to the government he represents. Foster did exactly what residents expect of their elected officials. It’s too bad his colleagues wouldn’t do the same thing.
All it takes is 15 minutes of our time Monday and the community of Armstrong wins, but the entire North Okanagan region benefits. Armstrong is a finalist, along with the Kootenay community of Creston, to host the B.C. leg of the Kraft Celebration Tour. With that comes a chance to host TSN’s Sportscentre live in the community and $25,000 in upgrades for the aging Hassen Arena. Coun. Ryan Nitchie and the organizing committee should be commended for the efforts put in thus far in getting Armstrong to the point where it was voted a finalist. More than 700 people showed their support for upgrading Hassen Arena during the nomination process. Creston, looking for $25,000 to upgrade its community, had only one supporter that we could find. Still, in order for Armstrong to win, the community has to garner the most online votes from 9 a.m. Monday to 9 a.m. Tuesday. Nitchie and the organizing crew are asking North Okanagan citizens to spend 15 minutes on Monday clicking on Armstrong’s bid at www.kraftcelebrationtour. ca. You can vote as many times as you want. It may be old, but the Hassen Arena still serves a useful purpose for many organizations. Lacrosse is still played there, and has been since it opened 60 years ago. Roller derby draws sell-out crowds to the Hassen and is used for practice. And, of course, the old arena is a fixture and staple of the annual Interior Provincial Exhibition. Hassen definitely needs upgrades and here’s a chance for all citizens to lend a hand – mouse finger, actually – and get Armstrong a victory in the Kraft contest.

Roaming cats cause concern
B
ird lovers are right to be concerned with the ecological disaster caused by people letting their cats roam freely. Indeed, most people are unaware that the domestic cat is responsible for a massive decline in song bird populations and partly responsible for the extinction of some species. There is, however, a greater concern which only recently has come to light through research connecting a cat to schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and many other mental illnesses. Some may have heard of toxoplasmosis and its danger to pregnant women. For decades, doctors have cautioned women to not change litter boxes or come in contact with cat feces since the toxoplasmosis parasite can kill unborn children. While a danger to babies, until recently the infection in children and adults generally was assumed to cause more than flu like symptoms. In 2009, the University of Leeds’ Faculty of Biological Sciences produced strong research indicating that the toxopasmosis parasite causes changes in the brains of many who contract the disease in childhood. The primary effect being a change in the way the brain processes dopamine. Growing evidence continues to conclude
SMALL BUSINESS HIT I am writing as a small business operator in hopes of explaining how the HST has negatively affected my own business here in Vernon. We already struggle due to high overhead. We pay extremely high property taxes here due to our lease being triple net, as well has high utilities (water sewage and garbage etc.). On top of our lease we were horrified, to say the least, that when the HST kicked in, our overhead on our lease was driven up $795.00 per month over night. This has put us in such a bad position we have had to let go one of our staff members that works the afternoons here, which has caused her a lot of distress as she quite loved working here. I am told the HST is suppose to be helping produce jobs and I am wondering if they have they taken into consideration those people in our position that have had to let go of an employee due to the HST? I listen to our clients that are already struggling to make ends meet and I cannot justify off-setting the cost of the HST on to them personally any further than they already have been. I hear the parents complain about how hard it is to put decent clothes on their children’s backs and food on their tables due to
that this disease contributes to or even causes numerous mental disorders. It is logical that laws be passed to protect children from being exposed to something which can cause devastating mental illness in their adult years. In my own yard, I regularly find cat feces in the lawn, garden, and under my deck. All places where my son loves to explore. Since research shows that toxoplasmosis can persist in feces for up to a year, even exposure to dried feces can be dangerous for children. Exposure to cats increases a child’s chances of developing schizophrenia by 400 per cent, according to studies, therefore something must be done. Given the threat to children and the devastation to bird population, responsible municipalities must pass bylaws prohibiting any free roaming of cats. In the 1960s, dogs were allowed to roam, but concerns over rabies ended roaming. It's time to end cat roaming for the sake of birds, but more importantly to lessen the chance children will get a devastating and life-threatening mental illness. James Love
the added expense of HST on their purchases. The HST may be good for those making the big money. However, day care is a good barometer for gauging the economy and struggles of the poor to mid working class. I for one think the HST has caused a lot of personal suffering to more people than not. I think those in public office would do better for their people if they stopped increasing their personal income derived from their offices. I wonder how that would help the poor to mid working class? I wonder if we tallied all of their wage increases received this year and bonuses, what that money could do for the people? Maybe they’re the ones that should be tightening their belts. They already earn plenty. Personally myself, I feel my staff of 13 and all 50 of our clients haven’t seen the benefit to the HST. The HST may end up being a deduction for me come tax time, but it doesn’t help me intermittently and that’s when I need that money. The $795 could come in handy now, especially for our laid off staff member. And personally, I am also sick of being gouged by the very people who are in their seats presumably to help us. My 50 clients, who also work in
this community, are all stating they have a slow-down of people coming through the doors at their place of employment. I don’t see any thing good in the HST. I’m voting it out! Sherry Lynn Morrical Owner, House of Dwarfs Daycare IN RESPONSE Re: Election embarrassing. That letter was so far out in left field I must reply. First of all, Stephen Harper was the voters' only sane choice in the last election, Intelligent voters understood that a majority was our best chance to get our government out of gridlock. Trying to get the populists in the West to agree with the self-serving federalists in Quebec was insane. Hopefully those days are over. As for the charge of Harper being too far right, I wish. Handing more money to the trough sucking CBC is proof enough of his addiction to wasting money but he is the best of the lot on that score too. The Liberals robbed us blind for decades and the NDP — well, you said you were embarrassed by the way your fellow Canadians voted but have you taken a good look at the slate of NDP candidates? Now that's embarrassing. I was never more proud of an
election result than this last one. Voters turned a deaf ear to the media bias rammed down their throats and used their heads. Anne Ellis PROJECT PRAISED Mr. Cowan in his letter to the editor said, “It is time we all let the city know how we feel about their lack of compassion and high-handed ways” about the 20th Street upgrade. Well, I am not sure what he is referring to, but I would like to wholeheartedly thank the city and the many committees involved in bringing this project to completion. I along with many of my neighbours attended the information session presented by the city prior to construction, and was pleased with the commitment and vision of the engineers and development staff involved. At no point in the development of this project was the public not informed of the decisions made and I greatly appreciate that. The first part of this project is a shining success. I walk my children and dog on this route many times a day. Cars move slower and with more care. Many drivers now make eye contact with pedestrians who are now the focus of this corridor. Many more people are walking and cycling.

A CREATIVE PLACE
Morning Star Staff
Boaters are being asked to slow down because of high water levels on Okanagan lake. The Regional District of Central Okanagan is asking all boaters to keep their speeds and wakes down as they approach or travel near the shoreline. That will help to reduce any erosion caused by wave action. “As well, all boaters should continue to watch for and avoid floating debris carried into the lake during the spring runoff season,” said Bruce Smith, communications co-ordinator. RDCO includes Lake Country and the North Westside Road area.

Cowboys back on the range with more stories Gather around the campfire at O’Keefe Ranch to learn about the Fur Brigade Trail, BX Express and more KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
There’s something about sitting around the campfire being regaled by stories from a couple of guys in cowboy hats. The fire crackles as Rob Dinwoodie strums his guitar as he and local cowboy poet Ken Mather launch into a story about an event that took place on this very land two centuries ago. The Fur Brigade Trail brought the first European fur traders and explorers through the Okanagan to Fort Kamloops in 1811. They came by canoe, foot and horse to the land then known as New Caledonia in search of fur, trading with the first peoples –– the Syilx –– and sending their wares off as far as China and Europe. “This same trail was used for the cattle drives into the interior of B.C.,” said Dinwoodie, who is back to host the third annual Cowboy Dinner Show, this year entitled Lasso the Moon, at O’Keefe Ranch this summer. Besides trail rides and mansion tours, those who visit the ranch will get their share

Think of the Cowboy Dinner Show as a history lesson, but way more fun, that features characters such as stagecoach robber Billy Miner and Osoyoos’ first born white
child-turned-cowboy Val Haynes, to the development of the BX Express stagecoach line, said Dinwoodie, the range manager for the North Okanagan as well as a local country and western recording artist. “We have new songs and stories in cel-
ebration of the 200th anniversary of the Fur Brigade Trail. The O’Keefe Ranch area was a pivotal spot for cowboys, the First Nations and the fur trade. The focus of the show will begin at that point in history moving to present day. We’ve had a lot of fun developing it.” Dinwoodie will perform with his wife, Jocelyne, and multi-instrumentalist Dixon Zalit along with local history expert Mather, who is also O’Keefe Ranch’s curator and has written books about the early ranching days in B.C. Together they will keep audiences laughing and clapping throughout the evening, which includes stage coach rides on the original BX Express, a beef buffet dinner, roping demonstrations and a campfire singalong under the stars. “We really want to make this a family oriented outing,” said Dinwoodie. “We have a couple of new add-ons from last year including a kids play area that is associated with the show and we have also incorporated a dramatic interaction: a stagecoach robbery enactment in the Billy Miner gang idea.” Dinwoodie and the troupe will also perform songs off his latest CD, Hands Up, with copies available at the site. “Many of the songs on it are designed for the show,” he said. Only four shows will take place this season on Friday, July 15 and 29 and Aug. 12 and 26. Tickets can be purchased online at www. okeeferanch.ca or by phoning 250-542-7868.

MacDuhk, the predecessor of the Junowinning, Grammy-nominated Duhks. He later established himself as a solo singersongwriter, releasing three albums, touring coffee houses and earning praise for the maturity of his songwriting before he took a chance on becoming an instrumental guitarist. That move paid off. In a review of Fafard’s 2004 all-instrumental CD, Rocking Horse, The Morning Star’s music reviewer Dean Gordon-Smith wrote: “The hint of backwoods Cajun vibe hovers around the edges of these songs. This magic and earthiness appears to be born out the group’s unique personalities and shimmering swooping waves of sound –– a sympathetic energy truly bigger than the sum of its parts.” Fafard is performing a solo set for his Headbones show and will take the stage at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20, available at the Bean Scene or by calling 250-542-8987.

sung in Fafard’s weathered baritone, and played mostly on a National Steel guitar, with accompaniment by violinist Richard Moody. Among the songs he covers are Muddy Waters’ I Can’t Be Satisfied, Willie Dixon’s Spoonful and the traditional Appalachian pieces John Hardy and Angeline and the Baker. He also includes a couple more recent classics: Richard Thompson’s Vincent Black Lightening and Lyle Lovett’s If I Had a Boat. Though Fafard sounds like a natural blues vocalist, with a voice that is said to appeal to fans of Kelly Joe Phelps, he has always been an instrumentalist first and foremost. He picked up the guitar at age 15, took a few lessons from celebrated Regina musician Jack Semple, then went on to study for two years at the well-respected Capilano College music program in North Vancouver. He launched his professional career in the mid-90s as a member of Scruj

The son of a well-known sculptor is making his way to a Vernon art gallery, but in this case, he will be exhibiting his musical talent. Regina-born guitarist Joël Fafard will perform songs off his new CD, Cluck Old Hen, at Headbones Gallery on Old Kamloops Road tonight. Fafard is the son of artist Joe Fafard, whose sculptures can be viewed right across Canada. His art is heavily influenced by his Saskatchewan surroundings, and includes life-size bronzes of cows, horses and pigs, as well as earlier ceramic and plaster pieces. A celebrated guitarist in his own right, Joël is known for his slide and fingerstylepicking, and is a former member of Prairie folksters Scruj MacDuhk. With a Juno nomination, a Western Canadian Music Award, two WCMA nominations and two Canadian Folk Music Award nominations to his credit, Fafard has proven that he can take a niche genre like instrumental guitar music and make a significant name for himself. His last three albums were all instrument releases, whereas, Cluck Old Hen is his first album featuring vocals in more than a decade. After taking a couple of months off playing at the end of last year –– a creative breather which he tries to make room for once a year –– Fafard found himself drawn to his dobro and to his collection of southern gems and decided it was time to commit them to record. In the process, he found his voice as a singer like never before, he said. None of the tracks on the album are actually new to Fafard’s repertoire; he has been including them in his live set for years. “Everybody was asking which albums they were on, and I got tired of saying ‘none of them,’” he said. Cluck Old Hen offers up classic-sounding renditions of instantly-recognizable numbers such as Come on in My Kitchen and Don’t Let your Deal Go Down, all

Stay for a breath of fresh air people come HERE from around the world to create magical memories in OUR town at OUR resort, which is always at our fingertips, just 20 minutes east of us? I have to admit I’m one of those people that really had no idea, until now, so moving the Rarearth Music Fest Kath Raeber up to the Star was not just a good thing –– it was a GREAT thing! Heading up the mountain now for what seems like the 100th time in the last few days –– lips pursed, eyes forward, and mind racing with details of the festival –– something urged me to pull over as I crested the top of the mountain. So I did. I got out and was compelled to turn around. I literally lost my breath as just one word replaced all that crazy mumbo jumbo in my head: paradise. When people said, “Wow Kath, what a fantastic move up to the Star for Rarearth this year,” they seemed to know something I didn’t. But I truly do get it now and all of the challenges of having a festival on a mountain have slipped away –– almost. Next stop, I find myself right in the middle of the buzz as mountain bikers swoosh past, or as the rounds of laughter echo through the mountain with stories of close calls and

o if you’re the well-organized, “get’r done” type, then you probably have your summer vacation planning done. You have the RV site booked, and are experiencing that wide-eyed excitement as you put your first carefully thought out item down on your list. And with the loyalty of a best friend, you watch daily as your calendar fills up with Xs as you anticipate July 23 as your perfect vacation departure date. But then again, if you’re a true Vernonite –– yes, it’s something we have to admit to –– you’re just getting something together now; not sure what, but something, last minute, or spontaneous is a better word, which seems so rebel like. People like us, we just work better under pressure. I know you’re all coming to Rarearth in July anyways, and yes I know you don’t have your tickets or your campsite booked, but it’s all good because I understand you: I know you, so there’s no sense letting you know the date right now because I know you won’t even look at this until July 22 –– the day before you need to know. But for those that have labored over every X on that calendar, dotted every “i” and crossed every single “t” on your list, and maybe even paid for the RV site, I want you to think about this concept: Why not stay home, save some loot and breathe in what we’ve got here? When was the last time you went up to Silver Star in the summer? Have you ever? Did you know there’s a whole world up there of breathtaking views that rival anything, anywhere in the world?

Lumby festival to benefit wild salmon Morning Star Staff
Locals have a reason to swim on out to Lumby this summer with the announcement the Wild Salmon Music Festival is returning for a second year. The festival takes place July 22 to 24 at the Freedom Flight Park, approximately two kilometres north of Lumby. “This festival honours the wild salmon who still come here to spawn and die,” said festival founder and organizer Randy Rauck. “All proceeds from this event are donated to help support the wild salmon awareness program and promote the building of local salmon enhancement programs like the salmon ladder at Shuswap Falls.” All proceeds from the festival go to the Middle Shuswap Wild Salmon Society. Headlining on the Saturday is former Lumby resident Cadillac Bob, a Canadian-born, internationally known rockabilly and blues recording artist. “Cadillac Bob has performed all over B.C. and Alberta, Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi, the U.K., and parts of Europe,” said Rauck. “He had a charting single in France, Climb Aboard My Ol’Cadillac, released on Fury Records’ compilation, Haunted Highway, which has been distributed all over Europe and Japan.” Cadillac Bob played with the likes of Memphis Slim, Willie Mabon and others at the famous 100 Oxford St. Jazz Club in London, England in the early ‘70s, which was frequented by Eric Clapton, Keith Richards and other various well known British musicians. His formative years included musical apprenticeships with John Lee Hooker, BB King, Reverend Gary Davis, Hubert Sumlin of Howlin’ Wolf ’s band, John Hammond, Johnny Shines, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Honeyboy Edwards, and Danny Tapanila. He also appeared in various film productions, including Davey Crockett with Johnny Cash. He wrote, produced and recorded the sound track for National Film Board animated feature Watermelon Men and also did voice over for several animation productions. He played Vancouver’s

Commodore Ballroom with Rocky Craig and New York rockabilly artist Robert Gordon, and has been a major influence on the rockabilly scene in Vancouver for the last 40 years. He also influenced members of what became Seattle grunge band Nirvana while playing the house gig at Vancouver’s famous Smilin’ Buddha Cabaret. Cadillac Bob has three original songs being played on CBC Radio 3 and most European rock ‘n’ roll radio stations. The festival will feature a wild salmon dinner on the Saturday night before Cadillac Bob takes the stage. Other artists playing that night include Crossfire, The BlackWhites, The Mabel Lickers, and Gallon’s Corner. Confirmed for the Friday night are The Young’Uns, The Universal Juveniles, and The Flu. Sunday afternoon will feature more local artists, artisans, flyers and musicians and a country bluegrass jam starting at approximately 6 p.m. A family oriented outdoor movie, hosted by the Lumby Chamber of Commerce, will start Sunday at dusk. Early bird day and weekend passes and wild salmon dinner tickets can now be purchased at the Lumby Chamber of Commerce. Call 250-5472300. More information is available at www.wildsalmonfest.com.

Program provides assistance to parents Morning Star Staff
Bringing home a new baby is a joyous and exciting time for parents, but when that little bundle of joy won’t stop crying those same parents often find themselves sleep deprived, frustrated and wondering what is wrong with their child. “There is actually a normal time in a baby’s life when they cry much more than any other time,” said Patty Hallam, a prevention services program consultant with the Interior Healh Authority. “It begins around two weeks of age and continues to around three to four months. Some babies cry more than others but most babies go through it.” This common stage of infant development has a name - the Period of PURPLE Crying. The acronym PURPLE is used to describe what parents can expect at this stage: ■ Peak of crying –The crying peaks at around two months of age and then begins to decrease gradually. ■ Unexpected – Crying can come and go and you don’t know why. ■ Resists soothing – A baby may not stop crying no matter what you try. ■ Pain-like face – Babies may look like they are in pain even when they are not. ■ Long lasting – Crying can last as much as five hours a day or more. ■ Evening – Crying is more common in the late afternoon or evening. This stage can be very challenging for parents who don’t understand why their baby won’t stop crying. Shaken baby syndrome is closely linked to the period of PURPLE crying. It’s a serious and potentially life threatening condition resulting from the brain bouncing back and forth against the skull when a child is shaken. “There have been incidents where frus-
things a bit easier, said Hallam. “It also helps to know what you can do in the moment to cope with your emotions and keep your baby safe.” Hallam stresses it is important for parents to make sure they take a break. She offers the following suggestions: If you have a partner – tag team with them and take turns looking after the child. Call on a trusted friend or relative to come and care for baby while you take some time for yourself. Place the baby in a safe place, such as their
crib, and leave the room for a few moments. Parents and caregiv-
ers can find more information at www.purplecrying.info

Patty Hallam, Interior Health prevention services program consultant, shows off a floor decal used to inform the public about the Period of PURPLE Crying. trated parents shake their child in an effort to get them to stop crying,” said Hallam. “It is important to know that this is a very dangerous practice and permanent damage to the baby can occur from as little as five seconds of shaking.” Maternity and public health nurses within Interior Health, through their involvement with the provincewide Period of PURPLE Crying prevention program, have made it their mission to make sure parents and caregivers know the period of PURPLE crying is normal and there are things they can do to cope. When a baby is born, Interior Health maternity nurses and/ or midwives provide parents with a DVD that explains this phase. Public health nurses follow up once parents are home with their newborn to reinforce the message, make sure parents have viewed
the DVD and answer any questions they may have. Their work, and the work of nurses province-wide, is making a difference in eliminating shaken baby syndrome. In 2010, interim evaluation results from the provincial Period
of PURPLE Crying Prevention Program show a 31 per cent reduction in visits to B.C. Children’s Hospital emergency room for crying complaints involving infants up to six months of age. “Knowing PUPRLE crying is a normal stage that will pass can make

Q: A:
Purchasing & Marketing Director, Certified Interior Designer
When I’m shopping for leather furniture what is the difference between bonded leather and genuine leather?
There are several difference types of leather products available in the market to help with cost effectiveness. Bonded leather is one of the newest products on the market for furniture, but has been used for wallets, bible covers etc. Bonded leather is made up of leather scraps and fibers mixed together then formed into a roll using adhesives. It usually contains only 1017% leather fibers. This process has been perfected that in some cases you probably won’t be able to tell the difference in the feel. Bonded leather will also appear flawless with an even grain, where as leather is a natural product and may show “natural markings”. Genuine leather upholstery is made out of quality hides and is definitely more durable than bonded leather. Bonded leather has been a great addition into the market for price point, but if you are looking for a quality product genuine leather is the way to go.
Q: A:
If your passport is lost or stolen while you are outside Canada first you need to report the loss or theft to the local police and obtain a written police report. Then notify the nearest Canadian government office and apply for a replacement passport, you will need to have new passport pictures taken before going to the office. If there is no Canadian consulate in the country you are in Australian and Swedish offices around the world, by special agreement, provide consular services to Canadians. We advise clients to carry with them, separate from their passports, their birth certificate and a photocopy of their passport which will be required to have a new passport issued. We also encourage travellers to scan and email to themselves electronic travel documents, emergency contact phone numbers and the phone number to call to cancel a lost or stolen credit card. Your passport is your most important possession when travelling outside Canada. It is important to keep it with you at all times.

Q: A:
Not exactly. It is possible, however, to make the interest portion of your payment a deduction, if set-up properly. With a myriad of multi-component & re-advanceable mortgage products on the market, homeowners can now separate the principle and interest portions of their payments -creating various tax planning opportunities. One strategy, for example, encourages homeowners to stop simply making a principle payment to their bank each month, and suggests rather that they re-invest the money in dividend paying Canadian banks, through mutual funds, instead. Structured properly, the strategy allows the homeowner to incrementally reduce their non-deductible mortgage debt each month and over time convert it into a tax-deductible investment loan instead – triggering the deductions mentioned above. The strategy itself involves borrowing to invest (leverage), and may not be suitable for all homeowners so give us a call at 250-275-8835 for more information to help determine if you’re an eligible candidate.

Q: A:
Is it Possible to Make My Mortgage Payment Tax Deductible?
I advise my clients to settle on one design to start. Most diligent consumers do shop for the best deal and that is fine just make sure that each supplier does an apples for apples quote on the same design and all other components involved. During this process you will find different features and options from different suppliers and that is great as well. However, to keep things on a level plane for comparison purposes make notes of these added features and have that supplier option them. Then once you have talked with two or three suppliers you can now make an informed decision based on a product to product comparison, confidence in your salesman and his industry knowledge, the company’s track record for completion, service and customer satisfaction. Now you can add these other options to your updated design and your new kitchen will be just as you desired. Kitchens are an industry that very much lives up to the adage, you get what you pay for. Like automobiles’ and fine wine cheap is not better. Many companies use off shore knock offs for hardware and less structure in the cabinets to cut costs and inferior finishing processes. This is where the consumer looses. It can be difficult for the average consumer to notice theses difference visually when the product is new, they will not stand the test of time that good quality does. My advice is to ask lots of questions and make notes of the answers, this is your kitchen that you will want to enjoy for many many years take charge of your investment.

Would you believe that even Personal Trainers love to be trained by another Personal Trainer? Your workouts are designed specifically for your particular needs, and your technique is closely watched to ensure that you get maximum results as well as avoid injuries that may be possible from incorrect moves. Best of all, you’ll see results much sooner than you would on your own. Whether you’ve never tried strength training, or whether you’ve worked out for years, you’ll be amazed at the results. And to make the decision even easier, most Personal Trainers offer an introductory package so you can see for yourself that it’s as fun and effective as your friends have been telling you!

Do you have some ad copy tips?
1. Provide Value. Reflect the needs and wants of your prospects. The wording chosen should be in the same context that you want your audience to understand. i.e.: an ad for seniors would use benefits and health terms versus medical terms. The same ad for doctors would apt to use more medical and technical terms. 2. Be Positive. Words used in advertising psychologically affect our response to the product or service we are selling. When we use positive words, the response from our customers is more favourable towards our brand. i.e.: “Vitamin ABC is preservativefree”. vs “Vitamin ABC is without preservatives.” 3. Provide a Call to Action. Ask your customers to do something that would further their need to purchase from you. i.e.: “Like our Facebook Site and Win a Free Sample”, “Call us for delivery at 1-800...”, “Visit us downtown, across from...”

Tigers torch shortbenched Flames GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Re/Max Tigers have an opportunity to advance to the second round of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League playoffs tonight. The fortunate thing for them is they can do it in front of a home crowd after a scheduling conflict in Penticton left the South Okanagan Flames with no better option than to play Game 2 of the best-of-three series at Wesbild Centre (7:30 p.m.). If necessary, Game 3 would go Thursday at Civic Arena. The Catsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Nolan Frame played setup man Monday night, pocketing a goal and four helpers as Vernon pummeled the shortbenched Flames 10-2 in Game 1 at Wesbild. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (offence) finally moving. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of slow still, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always stuff to work on,â&#x20AC;? said Frame, adding the team focussed mainly on shooting, running picks and its overall play in the offensive zone leading up to this series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to work at moving the ball faster on the powerplay. Our powerplay was working tonight, but it can always be better.â&#x20AC;? Originally, Game 2 was slated
for Oliver Arena because the ice is being put in for summer hockey camps in the Flamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home rink in Penticton, but the Oliver building had problems with the floor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a bonus how that came about. Rumour has it we were going to play in Princeton. That would have been a good threeand-a-half hour bus ride for us. They (Flames) could have stuck it to us but they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to accommodate them as best we can,â&#x20AC;? said Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach Myles Brumpton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be their arena. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give them home bench if they want it.â&#x20AC;? Mitch Steele put the Cats on the board less than two minutes into the first period Monday. Later singles by Craig Bigsby (second star) and Riley Soleway made it 3-0 before Mitch Walton answered for the Flames late in the frame. Frame set up Midget call-up Jordan Orr for a gorgeous backdoor one-timer eight minutes into the second frame, but Ryan Harms cut Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead to two with a goal on a rush at 13:57. Bayne Bosquet, capping a gorgeous three-way passing play between Jay Seaton and Ryan Oliverius, completed the second
period scoring at 18:11. "Altogether we gelled pretty well and put together a good effort. We had a good mindset coming in here and we were pretty well rested after the week off,â&#x20AC;? said Bosquet, noting the week-long rest gave injured Tigers Brett Hanna, Riley Soleway and several other key players a chance to get back in the lineup. Brumpton, who is expecting the birth of his third child any day now, thought the Tigers lacked intensity at the start, but credited them for coming on strong as the game progressed. "I think our guys looked across the bench and saw 14 guys and took them a little lightly. Thankfully our goalie (call-up Tyler Landry) kept us in it,â&#x20AC;? he said. "I'm treating him very similar to Brodie MacDonald (former Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; star goalie). He's a first-year Midget and we've had goalie issues all year. It was a last-minute decision and it turned out to be a good decision. "We asked the guys to buckle down and they did. Our last 10 minutes of the third period was probably our best play of the game." With the Flamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; energy levels waning, Vernon surged in the third period, recording five unanswered goals.

Hankey courts excitement Morning Star Staff
Spectators were entertained by high-calibre competition at the 85th annual Hankey Cup Doubles Tennis Championships last weekend at the Kalamalka Country Club. Participants came from the Lower Mainland, Calgary, Interior and Okanagan took to the courts in men’s, ladies and mixed A and B doubles events. A roundrobin format was used for this tournament, with teams guaranteed at least three matches. In the men’s A final, the brother team of Joachim and Holger Nierfeld of Kelowna overwhelmed Bob Langford (Salmon Arm) and Doug Holman (Vancouver), 6-1, 6-0. In the round-robin, the Nierfelds were undefeated in eight straight sets, while Langford and Holman went 7-1, as teams with the two best records met in the finals. In the men’s B finals, the Vernon duo of Ralph Stevens and Shane Valouch of the Kalamalka club bested Dave Bailie (Prince George) and Kees denOtter (West Kelowna), 6-2, 6-3. Stevens and Valouch outlasted the Kelowna duo of Joe Schaich and Tom
Petich 4-6, 6-3, 10-5 in an exciting semifinal. In the other semi, Bailie and denOtter turned back Ray Crampton and Lance Crump, both of Vernon, 6-3, 6-2. In the ladies A event, Meryl Ogden (Vernon) and Rosie Schaich (Kelowna) stuffed Eva Koksalova (Vernon) and Kristina Lidster (Kamloops), 7-5, 6-1. Ogden and Schaich went 6-0 in the round-robin, while Koksalova and Lidster had a 5-1 record. In the ladies B final, the team of Cynthia Langford and Loree Boyd, both from Salmon Arm, grounded Kelsy Brawn, a junior with the Kal club, and Bonnie Kilb (Calgary), 7-5, 6-1. In the semis, Langford and Boyd bounced Bonnie Anderson and Barb Teichman, both from Vernon, 6-4, 6-2. Brawn and Kilb turned aside Krista Martens and Aeri Lee, both from Kelowna, 6-2, 6-3, in the other semi. The mixed doubles produced some of the most exciting tennis and closest scores. In the mixed A competition, the husband-wife team of Joe and Rosie Schaich of Kelowna clipped Ogden and Vernon’s Mike Knights, 6-7, 7-6, 10-5. In the semis, the Schaichs brushed
back Kees and Dawna denOtter (West Kelowna), 6-1, 6-7, 10-8, while Ogden and Knights defeated Koksalova and Craig Tilander (Vernon) 6-0, 7-6. In the mixed B doubles, the tandem of Anderson and Valouch won a three-set thriller (7-6, 6-7, 10-7 ) over Martens and Kelowna’s Joel dePfyffer. Anderson and Valouch had another close match in the semis, stopping Cindy Akenclose and Joe Groves, both from Kelowna, 6-3, 4-6, 14-12. In the other semi, Martens and dePfyffer shaded the Vernon tandem of Teichman and Kelvin Ludbrook, 6-1, 4-6, 10-5. “Congratulations to all the winners and participants, and a thank you to the many spectators who came out throughout the three sunny days to watch some great tennis at the Kalamalka Country Club,” said Ray Kimoto, tournament director. Kimoto thanked his hard-working tennis committee of Gordon Mann, Steve Benesh and Dave Valouch for their contribution and hard work, to grounds keeper Tony Bastien for all his help, to Voets Coffee for supplying the coffee, and to the sponsors – Centre Court Racquets (Victoria) and Advertising Works for the door prizes.

Vernon offence explodes in third period Continued from B1 Orr (first star), with his second of the game, Bigsby, with a rocket from the top of the circle, and Frame, taking a nice dish-off from Steele, made it 8-2 before the period was half over. Soleway, receiving a slick backdoor pass from Bigsby, and Aaron Green, converting on a breakaway with eight seconds to play, completed the offence. "Looking at them through the handshake, their eyes told me they didn't want to come back here Wednesday night. So if the boys are smart, they put their foot on their throat and close it out (in Game 2),”
said Brumpton. Flames’ head coach Tony Ramsay couldn’t fault his team’s effort in the early going, but knows he’ll need a full lineup to have a chance at pushing the series to third game. "With the short bench the guys played well in the first and second period. As the game wore on, you need a full bench to go a full 60 minutes,” said Ramsay. “Vernon's a good team and you have to have full strength to be able to compete with them." Meanwhile, in the other TOJLL quarterfinal, the Kamloops Venom swept
cross-town rival Kamloops Rattlers in their best-of-three. The Venom iced the Rattlers 8-7 in overtime in Game 1, and put the series away with a 9-7 win in Game 2 Thursday night at McArthur Island Sports Complex. They will face the second-place Armstrong Shamrocks in the second round, while the winner of the VernonSouth Okanagan series will advance to meet the first-place Kelowna Raiders in the other semi. Both the Raiders and Shamrocks earned first-round byes.

Variform vanquishes Celtics Legends host provincials
Morning Star Staff
The shorthanded Vernon Square Liquor Store Celtics fell 3-1 to Lake Country Variform in North Okanagan Oldtimers 35+ Men’s Soccer League play Monday night at Marshall Field #1. Before the game, Celtic’s interim coach Kay Tolpinreed had to make major adjustments to the starting lineup as none of his regular midfielders where available. However, the Celtics started well, controlling the tempo and creating a few early chances. It was Celtic’s Bryan Schenker who broke the deadlock midway through the first half after he converted on a nice solo run. The lead did not last long as Lake Country, now 8-1-2, responded five minutes later with a long-range equalizer. Just before half time the visitors took the lead for good after miscommunication in the Celtics defence. With fatigue settling in, the Celtics (4-5-1) lacked the finesse to threaten the Lake Country goalie in the second half. The Celtics’ Chris Bader had a strong game in net after a year of absence. Vernon Toyota had to forfeit the game against Penticton Pinnacles FC in Rutland due to a lack of players. Toyota dipped to 5-5, while Penticton is 8-1-2. Ross Jewell, assisted by Glenn Wilson, supplied the lone goal as Bosman Accounting fell 5-1 to Sirius FC at Marshall #3. The accountants are 2-8, Sirius is 7-3-1. In Oldtimers 45+ league action, Gord Howard scored twice as the Hi-Pro Sportswear stuffed Penticton United 4-0 at Dale Meadows Park in Summerland. Striker Al Murphy opened the 9-1-2 Humpbacks’ offence in the 10th minute, converting a shot from the left side after feeds by Dave Marshall and Rob Hulstein. Winger Brad Hansen, who came out

Howard showed great agility by extending his right leg and burying a shot from in tight after a free kick by Ron Krause. Camel keeper Dave Dutcher recorded the shutout. Penticton fell to 8-3-1. In other 45+ league action, Okanagan Spring Brewery bowed 7-1 to North Country Monday at Rutland #2. Trailing 2-0 at halftime,
and with no subs, the brewers, now 4-7-1, ran out of steam. Roger Irving set up Tom Ouchi for the Spring goal midway through the second half. North Country (9-1-4) got goals from Matt Cherrille (2), Mike Francis, Greg Bevandick, Randy Bohem, Will Kruiper and Chris Odermatt. Goaltender Mike Zuber stopped a penalty shot. Big O Tire thought they had enough spares for a full game, but a pair of first-half injuries reduced their numbers as they fell 2-0 to Pushor Mitchell Advocates at Rutland #4. With Big O tiring, the 5-4-2 Pushor crew capitalized with a late strike in the first half. They made it 2-0 in the second half, getting a ball by keeper Paul Hunter, who was blinded by the sun. Big O, now 3-9, played a solid passing game but couldn’t click in the goal department. The Silver Stars showed second-half perseverance in a 3-0
win over the host Cantina’s at Mission Fields in Kelowna. The Stars dominated play and kept the ball in the Cantina’s end for the whole first half, but their keeper managed to deny the Stars’ forwards and midfielders, who created some glorious chances. “Cantina’s deserve full marks for this result as they played the game with only eight players and held the Stars to the outside for most of the game,” said the Stars’ Rob Bauml. Early in the second half, Kevin Cowley, burying his 12th of the season, spun off a defender and blazed a low shot off the far post to open the scoring. Steve Church took a through ball past a defender and struck a low shot to the other side 10 minutes later. He completed the scoring on an open-net header from five yards out, improving Silver Stars to 6-24. Cantina’s are 1-10-1.
United opens playdowns against Penticton Morning Star Staff
Vernon United will kick off the B.C. Under 14 Boys Soccer Championships against the host Penticton Pinnacles Thursday morning (9 a.m.). United began training indoors for the season back in January, and their dedication helped them finish 17-1-2 overall, including a 7-0-1 record and playoff title in Thompson Okanagan Youth Soccer League play. “This team has been very successful because we don’t have a starting 11, we have a starting 17,” said head coach Mike Melbourne. “We have the ability to sim-
ply outrun opponents with fresh legs all the way thru the game.” Along with a tournament championship in North Vancouver in early March, the Vernon squad ranked third in a tourney in Couer d’Alene, Idaho. The U14s have a core group of 10 players who were enrolled in the Vernon Academy program under the guidance of head coaches David Broadhurst and Claire Paterson. Anchored by keeper Cole Shoemaker, Vernon’s backfield includes Jason Reich, Shayne Groeneveld, Isaiah Wenger, Chase Larsen, Jordan Dewing and Bryce
Dyke. Their midfielders are Matt Kreutz, Brandon Melbourne, Lucas Ross, Cam Hitch, Ryan Killingsworth and captain Kody Glinsbockel. Up front they have strikers Liam Ross, Cole Woodliffe, Zach Kronbauer, and Michael Williamson. Melbourne thanked manager Gerry Strand for a great job with a busy season, and the parents for their continual cheer and support. United faces Prince George Friday (11:30 a.m.) and Terrace Saturday (9 a.m.). The gold-medal game goes Sunday.
A trio of North Okanagan teams will attempt to chase down provincial glory as they host the B.C. Pee Wee Box Lacrosse Championships starting Friday (today). Tyler Plante’s B Legends open the action Friday morning (8 a.m.) against Coquitlam at Wesbild Centre. They then face North Shore that afternoon (3:30) at Civic Arena, and end preliminary play against Juan de Fuca Saturday morning (9 a.m.) at Nor-Val Sports Centre in Armstrong. The A2 Legends, coached by Harold Mann, start Friday afternoon (12:30 p.m.) against Richmond at Civic. They go up against Nanaimo Friday night (5 p.m.) at Nor-Val and conclude the round-robin Saturday afternoon (12:30 p.m.) at Wesbild against Abbotsford. In Pee Wee C action, North Okanagan, coached by Dan Nadeau and Rich Zecchel, open against Abbotsford Friday morning (9:30 a.m.) at Nor-Val, and will battle Juan de Fuca at Wesbild in the afternoon (3:30). They take on Delta Saturday morning (8 a.m.) at Civic. Following preliminary Pee Wee A1 action Thursday night, there will be a Warrior Trix with Stix competition at 8 p.m. at Wesbild. The A2/B/C competition goes Friday night (8:30) at Civic. The medal games go all day Sunday at Civic and Wesbild. Tournament organizers are hosting a pair of pancake breakfasts Saturday in Vernon and Armstrong. The Vernon Lions Club will put on the spread at Wesbild (8-10 a.m.), while the Pleasant Valley Secondary grad committee will host the other breakfast at Nor-Val (7:30-11 a.m.). Proceeds will support the North Okanagan Minor Lacrosse Association.

Bulls bank Bantam silver Morning Star Staff
The Wayside Press Savage Bulls charged down silver in Thompson-Okanagan Bantam A minor baseball playoff action last weekend. The Bulls went into the final on an emotional high after a semifinal thriller, but fell 14-2 to Salmon Arm in the championship game. “We burned up our pitchers in the semifinal game. The team was physically and emotionally drained but they gave it their all, even though they had nothing left in the tank,” said head coach Terry Chudyk. To make it to the gold-medal game, the Bulls pulled off a comeback of epic proportions, rallying from an 11-2 deficit to clip Rutland 14-13 in extra innings. Jeff Hiscoe, Brenden Zupp, Tyler Lacktin-Doyle and Kristian Currie were strong on the bats. Chris Boring and Alexi Schwartz did some excellent base running while stealing second and third. Mark Trznadel and Dylan Cleland demonstrated some keen defensive plays in the field, and Keenan Joly and Garner Chudyk were strong as catchers. Clayton Bateman showed his capable arm pitching and Dylan Emmons was rocksteady in the shutdown role, not allowing a run in the final three innings. The Bulls finished the season with an impressive 17-2 record. Chudyk thanked the coaches and parents for their hard work and support. Meanwhile, the Vernon Canadians took a step up in competition when they battled in the Sussex Insurance Mosquito AAA AllStar Tournament last weekend at McArthur Island Sports Complex in Kamloops. As the youngest group in the tournament (eight- and nine-year-olds playing against mainly 10-year-olds) the Canadians showed ability, skill and determination over four weekend losses to the Kamloops River Dogs, Spruce Grove Sox, St. Albert Cardinals and Prince George Knights. Landen Harison, Eric Foufoulas, Hayden Lewis, Jacob Green, Maguire Lauridsen, Stevie Schols, Ryan Gamage, Kamrin Lubbers, Carter Morris, Chase Batchelor and Caden Colmorgen all had turns at the mound. The weekend was highlighted by some
great fielding and base running, but run production proved to be the team’s major challenge. Game MVP honours went to Lauridsen, Colmorgen, Foufoulas and Batchelor. The Canadians’ next games are Saturday at Edith Gay Park in Rutland and Sunday at Lakeview Park. The more seasoned Vernon AAA Canadians fared a little better at the eightteam Kamloops tourney, placing fourth overall. Vernon opened with a tight 9-8 loss to Sherwood Park on Canada Day. Shaughnessy Barker made a highlight running catch in left field to keep the game close. The MVP for Vernon was Jaden Parsons. Vernon rebounded with a 10-4 win over West Kelowna Saturday morning. Strong hitting from Dawson Chase, Caden Doyle and Jared Leroux kept the West Kelowna fielders on the their toes. Parsons pitched three scoreless innings to preserve the victory.
Chase, with his strong hitting and stellar defensive play, was named the MVP. Vernon ended the round-robin at 2-1 with a 9-1 win over Prince George. Trailing 1-0 after three innings, the Vernon bats came alive in the fourth with five runs to take a 5-1 lead. Game MVP Kelvin Blaser tossed three scoreless innings to secure the win. Leroux took MVP honours as Vernon bowed to Spruce Grove in their Sunday semifinal. They settled for fourth after they fell to St. Albert in the bronze-medal game later that day. The Canadians got solid pitching from Game MVP Nicholas Cherkowski, Shelby Porteous and Zac Orchard, but the offensive power of St. Albert proved too strong. Issac Olson and Ethan Eisenhaur were the other members of the team who played some great baseball this weekend. The AAA Canadians will battle in the Valley of the Champions, July 15-17 in Kelowna.

Coping with ALS; hoping for a cure CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
She is, she says, coping. Still, Mina White never imagined she would have ALS in her retirement years. The longtime Vernon resident and grandmother and great-grandmother was diagnosed in December 2009. “I was always healthy and active with the family, aerobics, walking and gardening. The first symptom was pain in my right leg. They thought it had to do with my back and there was some relief from pain after surgery. Then the pain and tiredness and weakness came back. The neurologist told me I had ALS,” said White, 75. “We didn’t know anything about it. There was nothing like this in my family. I thought it might mean that I would have to walk with a walker. The doctor didn’t explain it. Then we remembered hearing about Lou Gehrig, the baseball player who had this quite awhile ago.” The doctor told her she had a tough year ahead and when she asked him about next year, he shrugged. The family — she and her husband have five children, seven grandchildren and three greatgrandchildren — did more research and didn’t like what they found out, that ALS is a rapidly progressive neuromuscular disease in which the voluntary muscles degenerate while the senses are unimpaired. There is no known cause or cure and only limited drug treatment. White was referred to the G.F. Strong Rehabilitation Centre in Vancouver for assessment and evaluation of the kind of care that would keep her independent and comfortable for as long as possible. “My right hand lost function, then the right

Mina White finds what she can do is limited since she has had ALS but she has learned to paint with her left hand. The first ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) walk in Vernon takes place Saturday.
“You laugh or you cry. I decided to laugh more than cry. But I miss the use of my hands so much.” — Mina White arm and it crossed to my left arm and has deteriorated. I need pretty much everything done for me now. I can’t even scratch my head,” she said. She moved to Creekside Landing in the fall of 2010 because her husband also has health problems and could not care for her at home. “My family has been great. They come to visit all the time and bring me dinner or take me out to things or I take the handyDART or taxi so I can get out. My granddaughter Nichoel Crawford formed an ALS Support Group
in Vernon so I get out to the meetings when I can. “I made up my mind, this is it, this is something I have to cope with. It is a shock, a total change of lifestyle. I’ve gone from being very active, to using a walker, to a push wheelchair, to this electronic chair.” White also keeps active with exercises and music therapy and discovered a talent for art when she learned to paint with her left hand in a sling. Her phone, TV and radio can be controlled by the push of a button and she handles the fatigue by rest-
ing more. Respiratory therapy helps her lungs and breathing, important since many people who have ALS get pneumonia, which can be fatal. “The throat muscles that affect speech and eating can be affected but that hasn’t happened to me. I enjoy eating. You have to go day by day and enjoy the little things in life. I have a very strong faith in God and go to church. You laugh or you cry. I decided to laugh more than cry. But I miss the use of my hands so much.” White said she has made arrangements for
future care and for her funeral so that things are ready for the family. “I’m doing the best I can. We all try to stay positive but I know it’s hard for the grandchildren. We enjoy the time we have together.” Many people in the ASL Walk will be walking in memory of Ross Friesen, who had ALS and died earlier this year. White will be taking part in the first ALS Walk in Vernon on Saturday. Registration is at 9 a.m with the walk starting at 10 a.m. This is a 5 K walk. Money raised will go to help the ALS Society of B.C. provide equipment for people with ALS in the Vernon area. For more information about the walk and pledges call Nichoel Crawford at 250-5034741 or see www.vernonwalk@alsbc.ca. ALS: The Facts ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease where motor nerve cells die and the voluntary muscles degenerate. The senses and intellect remain unaffected. People with ALS become progressively paralyzed and 80 per cent will die within two to five years of diagnosis because they are unable to swallow or breathe. There is no known cause or effective treatment. For every person diagnosed with ALS, a person with ALS dies. About 3,000 Canadians have ALS, which is usually diagnosed between ages 45 and 65, although it can affect people of any age. It affects both men and women of all ages and socio-economic groups. There is no known cause, effective treatment, or cure. ALS has an incidence rate similar to that of MS but seems more rare because people with ALS die sooner after diagnosis. About 90-95 per cent of cases occur at random, with five to 10 per cent inherited.
The ALS Society of B.C. raises funds for research and to provide direct services for people with ALS. Until a cure is found, the society provides patient service to help improve the quality of life for
people with ALS with an extensive equipment loan program, support groups and educational material. There is no cost to patients for ALS services. For more information, see www. alsbc.ca.

Get your five a day
I
was perusing through the Mayo Clinic cookbook the other day and although I thought I’ve been eating well I realized that I certainly do not get five servings of fruit on a daily basis, nor do I eat the minimum of two servings of fish per week, things which are highly recommended by this institute. One fruit serving is measured at a half cup (half an apple for instance) and I realized that even though we live in an area abundant with fruit, I probably have only been eating one or two servings a day, at most. There are many ways to Cathi Litzenberger increase fruits into our diets; we can make fruit shakes for breakfast or snacks, use fruits in our entrées, for both colour and taste, and we can eat fruits fresh anytime during the day, and especially for desserts. For me, eating more fish or seafood is a challenge, because I’m the only one who eats it here. Well OK, that’s my excuse, but of course I can add it to my lunches or make two entrées (one fish, for myself) at suppertime and I’m going to make a concerted effort to improve my consumption of fish because I really enjoy it and it’s so good for the body. Today I’ve included two recipes from the Mayo Clinic cookbook. The first is a mixture of fresh berries (or fruit) with a wonderful ginger sauce. The second recipe is a favourite for everyone who has tasted this Mahi Mahi with its macadamia crust. Enjoy. Mixed Fresh Berries with Ginger Sauce For the Sauce: 4 cups strawberries, hulled and halved 1/4 cup fresh orange juice 3 tbsp. chopped crystallized ginger 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract 2 cups blackberries 1 cup raspberries 1 cup fresh red currants
KITCHEN WIT & WISDOM
Fresh mint leaves for garnish To make the sauce, in a blender or food processor, combine the strawberries, orange juice, ginger and vanilla. Process just until blended. Pass the purée through a fine-mesh sieve placed over a small bowl, pressing on the solids with a spatula or the back of a wooden spoon to extract all the juice. In a large bowl, toss together the blackberries, raspberries and currants, mixing well. Transfer to a serving bowl or individual bowls. Spoon the ginger sauce over the berries and garnish with the mint. Serve immediately. Serves six. Note: The blackberry and raspberry amounts are interchangeable. This sauce is also nice spooned onto angel food cake or fresh melon. Also note, that if you can’t find red currants, use peach slices or strawberries. Mahi Mahi with Macadamia Nut Crust 1/4 cup fresh whole-grain bread crumbs 3 tbsp. macadamia nuts, finely chopped 1 tbsp. finely chopped fresh flat-leaf (Italian) parsley 1/2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 cup nonfat milk 4 Mahi Mahi fillets, each 5 oz. and about 1-inch thick 1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 450 F (230 C). Place a small wire rack in a shallow nonstick baking pan. On a plate, stir together the bread crumbs, nuts, parsley, lemon zest and 1/4 tsp. of the salt. Pour the milk into a shallow dish. Dip each fillet in the milk and then dredge in the nut mixture, coating completely and pressing lightly so the mixture adheres well. Place the fillets on the baking rack in the nonstick pan, making sure they do not touch. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining salt and the pepper. Bake until the fish is opaque when tested with the tip of a knife and the crust is a golden brown, about 10-12 minutes. Transfer to warmed individual plates and serve immediately. Serves four.

Finding alternatives to food as a reward LINDA BOYD Special to The Morning Star
Getting children to cooperate can sometimes be a tough job and adults often resort to a sweet treat or other desired food as a reward or incentive for good behaviour. It happens at home, at music lessons, at sports, at the hairdresser, and at school. Is there any harm in using food as a reward? Should we be concerned? Using food to reward children is easy and it can work well, but only in the short term. In the long run, this practice can cause more harm than good. Rewarding children with candy or food is not a good practice because it: Increases preference for the reward food Teaches children to eat when they are not hungry Teaches children “emotional eating” (rewarding and comforting with food) Interferes with appetites for healthier foods at meal and snack times Contributes to tooth decay Contradicts healthy eating messages that parents, teachers and coaches promote Although well-intentioned, “just one little treat” from the many people a child sees in a day or week quickly adds up. In a time when one in three children is overweight, there is not enough wiggle room in our children’s diets to accommodate all of these extra food rewards. Many children have small appetites and using treats as rewards may replace healthy foods that provide the nutrients they need to grow, play, and do well in school.
It is OK for parents and caregivers to let children enjoy an occasional treat. The important point is to not make the treat a reward for good behaviour. There are lots of alternatives to candy and food that can be used as rewards including: stickers, pencils, notebooks, stamps, stick-on tattoos, curly straws, bubble bath, an extra story at bedtime, or a trip to the park. In the classroom, teachers can utilize non-food rewards that are free such as: going first, being teacher’s helper, sitting by a friend or reading the morning announcements. Classes can be rewarded as a whole with: listening to music while working, eating outside, extra art, or free choice time at the end of the day. Rewards can also be earned over time by tracking good efforts on a personal or classroom chart. Parents, teachers, coaches, and other adults should never underestimate the power of positive feedback, telling a child you notice and appreciate their positive efforts can be a reward itself. The ultimate goal of rewarding children is to help them internalize positive behaviours so they will not need anything more than their own good feelings to behave well or perform routine tasks. Looking for more non-food reward ideas? See http://cspinet.org/new/pdf/constructive_classroom_rewards.pdf Linda Boyd is an Interior Health community nutritionist based in Vernon.

Randy Schellenberg, (left) owner of Quickturn Production Machining, presents Excellence Awards to students Brendan Honeyman, A.L. Fortune; Danika Serafin and Travis Trewin, both Clarence Fulton, with metalwork teachers John Williams, A.L. Fortune (second from left), and Eli Silver, Fulton.
Students take winning turn Morning Star Staff
For the 14th year, Quickturn Production Machining Ltd. has sponsored the Quickturn Metalworking Excellence Awards for high school metalworking students. “The objective of the contest is to encourage excellence in metalwork classes and is open to all metalworking students in high school in Vernon, Armstrong, Enderby and Lumby,” said Ron Dawson, office manager at Quickturn.
Any metalworking student in the 2010/11 school year is eligible to enter. Projects of the students’ choice are judged on workmanship, technical merit and ingenuity. Winners of this year’s contest are: Brendan Honeyman, A.L. Fortune secondary in Enderby, who earned first place for his project of a vise; Danika Serafin, Clarence Fulton secondary in Vernon, second place for her project of a dining room table; and Travis Trewin, Clarence Fulton,
third place for his project of a helmet. Dawson said first place finisher receives $350, a plaque to keep and a trophy to display at their school for a year. Second place receives $250 and a plaque; third place receives $150 and a plaque to keep. The plaques and trophy are presented at each school’s annual awards ceremony. As well, Quickturn donated assorted measuring instruments and tools to the participating schools for their metalworking classes.
With a little more sun, this year’s mountain wildflowers at Silver Star Mountain Resort could be more spectacular than ever. “The soil is moist and the slopes are lushly sprouting,” said Roseanne Van Ee, Silver Star’s mountain naturalist tour guide. “Valley wildflowers have been tall and profuse this spring, so a couple weeks of sun should bring on a great show up here.” Van Ee throws in photo tips and hints during the daily afternoon Mountain Wildflower Tours. Silver Star’s black bears had a rough start with this year’s late snow, but the lush vegetation is enticing them back up the mountain where there’s still plenty of wilderness. “I love spotting wildlife in their wilderness habitats and am delighted to help others understand how we can save our wild bears and other wildlife while keeping us safe, too.” The Bears and Berries Tour Thursday to Saturday mornings highlights the lives of Silver Star’s bears. Local residents are encouraged to enjoy a tour and learn bear safety. Bookings can be made through Silver Star’s Ski Dazzle summer ticket office at 250-558-6010.
Dr. Randy Mark and Dr. Kimberley Williams would like to welcome Dr. Aaron Barrie to the practice.

Activity Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL Several social contacts could play important roles in your affairs in the year ahead. Depending on the issues, decide between which ones would be a big help to you business-wise and which ones will help enhance your popularity.
PUZZLE NO. 203
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Because you’re both curious and observant, there isn’t too much that’ll escape your attention, including things everybody else has missed. You’ll share your insights with others.
ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203
HOW TO PLAY: Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: you must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box. 100625

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Keep your wits about you at all times, especially when engaged with financial or commercial matters. You should be able to take what you learn and improvise on it profitably. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have a talent that sometimes enables you to juggle several projects simultaneously. What baffles others, however, is your ability to do an equally good job on each task. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) If you hope to fulfill an ambitious objective, keep all the essentials to yourself. The fewer people who interfere, the easier it will be for you to do a good job completing all the details. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) In order to save a bit of money, you need to be able to stay on budget. It behooves you not to go shopping with a good friend who always gives their credit cards a good workout. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) One of your greatest gifts is being able to use your mental agility to meet and overcome complicated challenges and obstacles. You’re likely to use it quite a bit at this juncture. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) When dealing with people under most conditions, it isn’t wise to offer unsolicited advice. At this point however, if you have a suggestion that could help a confused friend, speak up. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) As long as all of the partners involved are making an equal contribution, joint ventures have a better than
usual chance of working out quite well at this time. Speedy results are probable. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) There is a good chance that you will be required to decide an issue where all of the alternatives appear to be of equal value. Look favorably upon options that have worked in the past.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) The perfect opportunity to put down someone who hasn’t treated you too kindly lately might pop up at last. Regardless of how great the temptation is to do so, be above it all. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Taking a bit of a recreational break when possible could prove to be valuable to you and your work. The more relaxed you are, the better you will be able to perform. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Two huge matters that you left hanging and are very anxious to wrap up will at last approach the final stages. Once you finish what you’ve been working on, go ahead and get ‘em done, son.

HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes and weight gain. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder Benjamin Disraeli, the British prime minister for most of 1868 and from 1874 to 1880, said, “I feel a very unusual sensation -- if it is not indigestion, I think it must be gratitude.” Anyone who finds the unusual play that is needed to defeat this three-no-trump contract would be unusual and also feel an unusual sensation -- great gratitude from partner. First, look at the North hand. South opens one notrump, showing 15-17 points. What should North do? Once you have decided, also look at West’s hand. West leads his heart five against three no-trump. South takes East’s king with his ace and plays a low club from his hand. What should West do?
North should raise immediately to three notrump. If his suit is worth five or six tricks, probably three no-trump will roll home. If the diamonds provide only two winners, declarer will probably take at most seven tricks. When you have a good long minor with no singleton, no void and no thoughts of a slam, bid three no-trump. Second hand low works most of the time. But if West does that here, South takes the trick with dummy’s 10 and claims nine tricks: two hearts, six diamonds and one club. What would declarer be expected to do first? Right -- establish dummy’s diamonds. When he does not, he must have the diamond king; the suit is ready to
run. He is trying to sneak a ninth winner. And if so, West’s only hope is to grab the trick with his ace and shift to spades, hoping East has at least king-fourth. Best is to lead the spade queen, cash the ace, and play a third round. Then West would deserve East’s gratitude.

Dorothy was born in Alberta and moved to Johnson’s Landing on Kootenay Lake as a young child. She married Ernest while working in Lumberton, BC and they moved to Lumby, BC in 1941 where she lived the rest of her life. She loved her family deeply and had the greatest gift of hospitality. You never left her house without having tea and cookies. She was known as ‘Grannie’ by everyone who knew her. She will be sadly missed by all.
Erwin lived a life full of adventure and was always thrilled to take on a new challenge. His passion for scuba diving and photography led him around the globe, and his quick smile and easy nature allowed him to make friends wherever he traveled.
