Armstrong out-Krafts Creston for win ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Armstrong has 25,000 reasons to celebrate. The North Okanagan community is the B.C. winner of the 2011 Kraft Celebration Tour, beating out the Kootenay community of Creston. The announcement was made Tuesday afternoon on TSN’s Sportscentre program with a crowd of 200 gathered at the Nor-Val Sports Centre watching on the arena’s big screens. Ryan Nitchie As the winner, Armstrong will receive $25,000 for upgrades to the Hassen Arena and will host TSN when the cable giant broadcasts its Sportscentre show from the community next month. “Obviously we are just elated with the community engagement on this project,” said Armstrong Coun. Ryan Nitchie, who spearheaded the city’s bid in the contest. “The army of volunteers we had out during the voting was absolutely phenomenal. I had about 600 e-mail and Facebook messages from people updating me on how many times they were voting. People obviously care about Armstrong and it’s nice to win the money and have TSN come for a visit.” Voting between the two B.C. communities was conducted online from Monday at 9 a.m. to Tuesday at 9 a.m. In Armstrong, a celebration zone was set up Monday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Bridge Street, outside of city hall and the Armstrong-Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce. People donated their laptops to help with the online voting. The street was closed for that eight-hour period, and Askew’s Foods conducted a free barbecue which drew approximately 400 people. The celebration zone carried on at the Nor-Val Sports Centre Monday night during game one of the Armstrong ShamrocksKamloops Venom Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League semifinal. “So many people stayed up so late voting into the wee hours of the morning,” said Nitchie, who stayed up until 2 a.m. voting, got a bit of sleep, then continued clicking on the ballot button on the Kraft Celebration Tour website until the 9 a.m. deadline.

Mike Hanley, 14, casts his vote for the Kraft Celebration Tour Monday evening during the Armstrong Shamrocks lacrosse game at Nor-Val Sports Centre. Such community support has earned Armstrong $25,000 for upgrades to the Hassen Arena (below) and a visit from TSN.
“We had shift workers voting online. Unfortunately for a lot of North Okanagan businesses, Monday probably wasn’t a very productive day.” Nitchie said Armstrong had voting support from Sweden, Australia and other
parts of the world, including fellow Kraft Celebration Tour nominees Wallaceburg and Trenton, Ont., who battled Tuesday. Wallaceburg, said Nitchie, is a big lacrosse community, similar to Armstrong. It’s believed TSN will be in Armstrong
on Friday, Aug. 19, to broadcast their Sportscentre show. “We would never have enough funds to attract somebody like TSN to come for a visit,” said Patti Noonan, ArmstrongSpallumcheen Chamber of Commerce executive director who also sat on the Armstrong bid committee. “This will be great for us in terms of exposure, and it’s a chance to celebrate our community spirit. We hope there may be some economic spin-off from this.” It will also be a refreshing victory for Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper, who will now receive 10 cases of legendary Kokanee beer, brewed in Creston at the Columbia Brewing Company.

Purse snatchings prompt public warning ROGER KNOX
The purse was later recovered, but the woman’s keys and personal papers were missing. Molendyk said police are asking women with purses, particularly those 45 and older, to use caution. “A lot of women love to carry their purse, if it’s a bigger purse they carry it over their shoulder or in the crook of their arm,� said Molendyk. “If it has a strap, put a jacket over it. And carry money and valuables in a fanny pack. “I know, trying to tell women not to carry a purse is almost like saying bad things to them because a purse is their own personal space. We just ask that they be very careful.� Molendyk said it was hard to determine if both incidents involved the same suspect because there isn’t a very good description available. “It’s possible both involved one individual or possibly a couple of individuals were
On Saturday, shortly before 10 a.m., police received a call about a man in his late teens or early 20s going through a woman’s purse in the alley area near 30th Avenue and 37th Street. “An individual saw this man going through the purse, asked him what he was doing, and the man said it was his mother’s purse. He realized he had been caught and he took off,� said Molendyk. Police learned the purse had been stolen from an 88-year-old woman who was walking from her home towards downtown when a man came up from behind and grabbed the purse. The woman was uninjured. The suspect was described as Caucasian, late teens or early 20s, wearing dark shorts, a dark shirt and a ball cap. “There’s no further description because she never saw his face, just saw him running away,� said Molendyk.

Vernon RCMP are encouraging women to be careful with their purses following a pair of purse snatching incidents less than 24 hours apart. Police were called Friday at 1:40 p.m. to the front of the Vernon Recreation Complex where a 58-year-old woman had her purse snatched from her shoulder while she was talking to a friend. “A young man came up behind the woman, grabbed her purse, tore the strap and took off,� said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The woman received scratches from where the purse strap was torn off. Her purse, containing personal contents, was not recovered. The suspect in the robbery is described as a Caucasian man, about six-foot tall, skinny and was wearing a dark top with grey pants.
working together,� he said. Anybody with any information on the robberies is asked to call the Vernon RCMP at 250-545-7171, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or leave a tip on the Crime Stoppers’ website at www.nokscrimestoppers.com.

Blaze prompts quick action JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
The crew at a Lumby wood lot is being praised for dousing a potentially dangerous situation Monday. A fire broke out in a 1995 Caterpillar 325 butt-n-top log loader Monday shortly before 12:30 p.m. at the Gudeit Bros. Contracting yard on Shuswap Avenue. The operator of the machine managed to escape without injury and thanks to the quick actions of staff on
scene, the fire was kept from spreading to surrounding wood piles. “There was a lot of flames when we got here,” said Lumby Fire Department chief Tony Clayton. “We’ve gotta give kudos to the Gudeit crew for containing that.” With the fire department literally next door, fire crews were on scene and had the fire out within minutes. The cause of the fire is believed to be accidental due to mechanical mal-
function, and damage is estimated at a minimum $40,000. “It’s not in running condition at this time,” said fire investigator Dean Wakefield. “The hydraulics and electrical systems were heavily damaged by fire.” Wakefield also credits Gudeit staff for containing the situation from further damage. “Without those guys bringing it into action it could’ve been a lot worse.”

Tax incentives may lure investors to town RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Tax breaks may be one way of bolstering development in parts of Vernon. City staff will develop a revitalization strategy for downtown and other targeted areas, including a revitalization tax exemption bylaw. “This is something communities across
“It’s definitely a carrot we need to offer.” — Kevin Poole B.C. have been looking at for years,” said Kevin Poole, economic development manager. “It can range from revitalizing a specific
area or a specific area of the economy.” In Penticton, an economic investment zone bylaw provides tax relief and a reduction in
building permit fees for eligible projects. “Penticton has six applications related to their tax exemption program,” said Poole. “It’s definitely a carrot we need to offer to develop in certain regions such as the city centre.” Besides downtown, the other area that could be targeted as part of an investment
zone plan in Vernon is along Okanagan Lake. Support for a revitalization strategy comes from Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe. “I’d like to ensure we have an active plan for future investment,” she said. “It’s essential for our future growth.” Coun. Bob Spiers is willing to consider the concept of tax incen-
tives but he isn’t sure how many revitalization zones are required. “I have always been an advocate of downtown incentives for

Gambling addiction has had a devastating impact on some individuals and families and now efforts are underway to provide assistance. The City of Vernon has launched a responsible gambling initiative. “We want to get information out about the extent of the problem but also where people can get support,” said Sharkey Annette Sharkey, with the Social Planning Council, which will administer the project. “It seems to be a hidden problem. Part of it may be from not admitting it is happening. We want to look at what the issues are in our community.” It’s believed that three to four per cent of the overall population is at risk from gambling addiction.
Specific demographic groups in the community will be identified. “Seniors are at risk. We have a higher than average seniors population (in Vernon),” said Sharkey. An action team of local residents has already provided input into the design of the program, and it will oversee Responsible Gambling Awareness Week events during January 2012 and January 2013. The $50,000 funding for the two-year initiative has come from the B.C. Lottery Corporation. “We are creating a model for the rest of the province. This hasn’t been done before,” said Sharkey. Coun. Bob Spiers, who has been concerned that the expansion of gaming fosters addiction, supports the program. “It will supposedly help people with problem gambling and I’ll await the results,” he said. “I’m hoping this will help. It can’t hurt.”
MLA joins committee Morning Star Staff
A new committee of MLAs will focus on ways to expand B.C’s bio-economy. The group, which includes Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster, will establish guidelines to support growth in this sector, which is in growing demand in global markets. “Bio-economy presents an opportunity to create the next generation of forest products and will allow us to extract the maximum value from every Eric Foster tree,” said Jobs Minister Pat Bell. Bio-economy is a term referring to the conversion of bio-mass such as trees and agriculture products into bio-energy, biochemicals and bio-materials. It also has applications in the health and chemical sectors.

There is widespread opposition to proposed rezoning of this 25th Avenue property on Vernon’s East Hill.
Project draws a crowd RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Residents of one East Hill neighbourhood appear united in opposition to a proposed development. About 40 people attended a public hearing at Vernon city hall Monday with most speaking against possible rezoning at 2602 25th Ave. to allow for two four-plexes. “The ambience of Pine Grove would be lost forever,” said Lee Cottingham, referring to the traditional name for the neighbourhood. The primary concern about the proposed multi-family project is the neighbourhood currently consists of single-family residences and many of them follow heritage-style architecture. “We’re not against development,” said resident Henk Bosman. “We’ve seen subdivisions in our neighbourhood before but they fit into our neighbourhood.” While the developer has suggested those who purchase the units will primarily walk to downtown services, some residents question that view. “Why then would each of these homes have two-car garages?” said Susan Abbott. Other concerns revolve around traffic and the possible loss of mature trees. City staff have recommended that council approve the rezoning from large lot residen-
tial to four-plex housing. However, they want changes to the layout of the development and the design. “It’s not sensitive to the character of the neighbourhood,” said planner Dale Rintoul. Bob Beckley, who owns the property and plans to live in one of the units if the project proceeds, defends the proposal. “I’m not a big-time developer. I’m not in it to make a big pile of money. I want to stay
on East Hill,” he said during the hearing. Beckley is convinced a multi-family development could benefit the community. “The vision of the city is to promote and revitalize downtown,” he said. “You need more people living in the area so they can leave their cars at home.” He added that the development would allow him to take care of problems that have been occurring on the
west side of the property. “I have found a shelter a homeless person built there and drug paraphernalia.” In terms of a possible redesign, Beckley is open to suggestions. “If that is what it takes to get this passed, we will take a look at the heritage aspect,” he said. City council is expected to consider Beckley’s rezoning bylaw application July 25.

Council seats open up
N
ew faces are guaranteed at Vernon city hall after Nov. 19’s civic election. Buffy Baumbrough is walking away from her duties after six years, while Bob Spiers is preparing to pull the plug after just one term. Baumbrough was first thrust on to council in 2005 because many residents feared the direction Vernon was taking in terms of development. They wanted someone who had an environmental background to provide them with a voice. Particularly in the first term, Baumbrough challenged what she deemed as sprawl, and she advocated hard for a major rewriting of the official community plan. Re-elected in 2008, Baumbrough also became Richard Rolke focused on affordable housing, air quality and beautification projects. But critics will claim she rarely raised her hand to reduce taxes and didn’t have a major problem with spending bucks on things like transportation demand management. When asked to reflect on her time on council, Baumbrough says that question is better posed to residents. “I hope I’ve had a positive influence on the community. It’s very difficult for me to say whether I accomplished that,” she said. Spiers hasn’t officially decided if he will run again, but he’s always suggested his civic responsibilities would be limited. “I’m inclined not to go into the next election. I could possibly be more effective on the outside,” he said. And in a sense, Spiers lost some power when he got elected. Prior to that, he had been a thorn in council’s side, observing all meetings from the public gallery, providing thoughts on his blog and scrutinizing financial documents

with a fine-tooth comb. As Citizen Spiers, he was able to grab media attention and had some success influencing councils of the day. But as an elected official, it’s not unusual for Spiers to be the odd man out as he raises his hand in opposition while the rest of council are financially peas in a pod. He is growing weary of the situation. “It’s frustrating. I’ve not been able to convince my fellow councillors on implementing policies for fiscal sustainability,” he said. Spiers will advise the media of his plans in September or October. “I will decide if I run depending on who else comes along,” he said of potential candidates. With Baumbrough departing and Spiers apparently packing his bags, the other one to watch is Jack Gilroy. After almost six years, he loves being part of the action but he’s still considering his options. Shawn Lee and Mary-Jo O’Keefe, who were first elected as councillors in 2008, have committed to seeking another term, while Mayor Wayne Lippert declared his intentions for a third term earlier this year. Not surprisingly, the ballot will also include Patrick Nicol, who has served eight terms as a councillor. “I enjoy the constituency work and helping citizens,” said Nicol of why he remains a force at city hall since being first elected in 1986. “There’s a passion for the community. It’s a labour of love.” Of course it will be up to those who get out to vote Nov. 19 to determine whether O’Keefe, Lee, Lippert, Nicol and possibly Gilroy return. Depending on the level of satisfaction in the community and what other candidates bring to the campaign, they could resume their duties. But if citizens decide there needs to a wholesale purge at city hall, or just a couple of individuals need to go, then Baumbrough’s and Spiers’ chairs won’t be the only ones with new occupants.
It’s a celebration in Armstrong. The city known for its agriculture, lacrosse and cheese, and home to the legendary Interior Provincial Exhibition, is the 2011 Kraft Celebration Tour B.C. leg winner, having defeated the Kootenay community of Creston in an online voting contest Monday and Tuesday. A large crowd gathered at the Nor-Val Centre Tuesday afternoon for the announcement of the B.C. winner on TSN. Armstrong’s victory means TSN will show up next month to broadcast its popular Sportscentre show from somewhere in community, in all likelihood someplace on the IPE grounds near the Hassen Arena, which also benefits from Armstrong’s victory. The aging arena will get $25,000 in upgrades courtesy of Kraft. It’s a building that has hosted some of the greatest, fiercest lacrosse battles in the region. It is used yearly by the IPE. Roller derby, like lacrosse, has attracted sell-out crowds in the venerable building. Many residents learned to skate and play hockey in the Hassen before the Nor-Val Sports Centre opened a few years ago. Why Armstrong won was because of the community and its neighbours, both near and far. Many people took time out of their day to vote online for Armstrong, voting as many times as they liked. It shows there is a great deal of care and love for the aging arena which needs fixing up. Congratulations to the organizing committee for its efforts in bringing the matter to the public’s attention, via the media and social networks. TSN will be in for North Okanagan hospitality next month as the Kraft tour is celebrated in Armstrong.

Unfair taxation
I
n economic theory, value-added consumer taxes are a regressive form of taxation. The lower classes pay a much higher rate of taxation than the upper class. This is because the lower classes spend all of their money to survive, therefore paying the maximum sales tax. But the wealthy do not spend all of their income of consumer products. Therefore, they pay a lower rate compared to their income â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an unfair form of taxation. Sales or consumer tax systems (including the HST) are enormously inefficient and unfair â&#x20AC;&#x201D; involving numerous bureaucracies for paperwork, refunds, exemptions and disputes etc. This is totally unnecessary, and can easily be solved by reverting back to progressive taxation as we had after the Second World War, in which the tax burden was shared more fairly. The argument continues today because: 1) The upper income classes prefer (demand) consumer taxation rather progressive and fair taxation. For example, if all taxation was by consumers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; say at 12 per cent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; this would be much less than the wealthy paying 29 per cent in income tax above $127,000. This would radically reduce their taxation, but also the revenues of government. Hence, there will be huge deficits and the call will again be to cut deficits (social spending, pensions, health, education etc.) and to raise consumer taxation even more.
CITY NOT FRUGAL Re: City Pumps More Money Into Fire Trucks, May 27, The Morning Star. I must have been seeing things â&#x20AC;&#x201D; $360,000 for a water tender truck. If the city has water trucks, and I can think of four other water trucks in the Vernon area, why are these, the city trucks, not being used as tenders when the need so arises and why are other local water tankers not being hired? The city needs to save the taxpayer money, not spend it. Vernon city council is not and has not being doing its homework. Paying $360,000 is absurd. I totally disagree with Coun. Jack Gilroy's statement that every six months the prices go crazy. Prices don't go crazy. The city is not being frugal. Frugality is the quality of being frugal, sparing, thrifty, prudent or economical in the use of consumable resources such as food, time or money, avoiding waste, lavishness or extravagance. In some contexts, it may also be the practice of acquiring goods and ser-
2) They have the money to continue their unjust and unsupportable views, and they do. 3) The argument continues because of outright lies and misrepresentations. For example: a) "But the changes clearly represent a tax savings for individual British Columbians down the road. An independent panel found that a 12 per cent HST costs the average B.C. family $350 a year. At 11 per cent, the hit is reduced to $115, and with a 10 per cent HST
vices in a restrained manner, and resourcefully using already owned economic goods and services, to achieve a longer term goal. Common strategies of frugality include the reduction of waste, curbing costly habits, suppressing instant gratification by means of fiscal self-restraint, seeking efficiency, avoiding traps, defying expensive social norms, embracing cost-free options, using barter, and staying well informed about local circumstances and both market and product/service realities. Frugal living is practised by those who aim to cut expenses, have more money, and get the most they possibly can from their money. I ask, where is this money coming from? I went on the computer and I found a few trucks and they are here in Canada. Does the city really need a new truck? I would say, no, a used truck would work. You can get a lot better deal if you shop around and obviously the city is not shopping. George Serhan
PARENT GRATEFUL We would like to thank the City of Vernon for taking the time to listen to our needs and concerns about 20th Street. I think the job that has been done is outstanding. I think the safety of our children comes first. This is a school zone area and the traffic needs to be slowed down. People who do park the cars along the streets are causing blind spots for our children to be seen. The narrow road and no parking on the street has helped 100 per cent. If you live on 20th Street, near Harwood, you should expect improvements. This is a familyoriented community. The school has been here longer than some of the homes and these improvements should have been made years ago. Just like a previous critic, I would like to break this project into pros and cons: Pros: s 4HE NARROW ROADWAY SLOWS the traffic down so drivers can be aware of children crossing.
the average family will pay $120 less tax than under the PST/GST system. Factor in the $2.3 billion it is estimated to cost to return to the previous system, and it becomes clear that a reduced HST is the most sensible economic choice." These are all false concoctions devised by independent sources, but thoroughly disproved by Bill Vander Zalm in his anti-HST campaign and others. In other cases, trivial arguments are made such as seniors donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have sufficient income to pay income taxes so they should pay a consumer tax (HST). b) There will be no rebate to income earners above $40,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hence only the unjust and the fools would vote for such concepts. c) The HST applies to many more items or services than previously â&#x20AC;&#x201D; costing the public much more than the falsely stated $350 cost per family. d) This leads to an underground economy by paying cash by not charging HST. This then leads to nonreporting of income, loss of government revenue causing more deficits â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the call for higher taxation! In conclusion, there is no logical support for valueadded taxation such as the GST, PST or the HST. See what the HST will now cover and how it will affect you: http://fighthst.com/revised-hst-hit-list-2010/ J.J. Rousso

Private college campus closing its doors JESSICA SCHWITEK Morning Star Staff
The Vernon campus of Sprott-Shaw Community College has decided to close its doors after nine years of serving the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough students,â&#x20AC;? said Patrick Dang, president of the college. Enrollment has been declining for a considerable amount of time. The downtown Vernon campus has about 20 students right now, 270 total in its nine year history, which means sometimes only
two or three in a class. The decision to shut down the campus this fall was made four or five weeks ago, says Dang, and they have been working hard to make sure the closure goes smoothly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done our best to accommodate all of our staff,â&#x20AC;? he said. As many as possible have been transferred to other campuses. The same goes for the students who have either been transferred to other campuses, with a travel allowance, or have been permitted
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough students.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Patrick Dang to stay until they have completed their current course.
The campus wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be officially closed until those courses are done
in three to six months. The campus has been running with six to 10 staff working at a time, and offering six to 10 courses in the fields of administrative assistant, health care assistant, business administration, community
support worker, social services, medical office assistant and legal secretary. Sprott-Shaw trains more than 3,000 students a year, but in a community such as Vernon, with several other educational opportuni-
ties nearby including UBC Okanagan and Okanagan College, Dang said it just isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attracting enough students to keep it going. Sprott-Shawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campuses in Duncan and Courtney are slated for closure as well.

RAISING AWARENESS
Golf event raises $20,000 Morning Star Staff

A fundraiser for Vernon Jubilee Hospital was a major success. The second annual Community Golf Day at the Vernon Golf and Country Club raised more than $20,000 for VJH Sunday. “Donations are still being calculated,” said Bruce Shepherd, with the Kalamalka Rotary Club, which hosted the event. More than 160 golfers participated in the event, and they played for prizes worth $10,000. “The sponsors were very generous,” said Rotarian Darryl O’Brian. “From the putting contest to the golf cart sponsorship to the hole-in-one prizes, the business community was extremely generous and we thank
them for that. “Vernon Golf and Country Club donated the golf course both days, a value of $15,000 daily, and we certainly want to acknowledge their generous support. In addition, dozens of volunteers from the golf club as well as Kalamalka Rotary ensured that the two days ran smoothly.” The funds will go to the maternal child department at the hospital. “We’re thrilled to be the beneficiaries of this fundraising event,” said Sue Beaudry, VJH Foundation director of development. “We also want to thank the golf club, its members and the members of Kalamalka Rotary for their hard work putting together this golf tournament.”

News B.C. urged to back agriculture Morning Star Staff
Municipalities from Vancouver and the Okanagan are calling on the provincial government to promote B.C. agriculture. On June 24, Metro Vancouver directors endorsed a resolution, that calls upon the province to invest in an industry-led marketing program that will increase public awareness for B.C.-grown food. A resolution to request financial support for B.C.’s agriculture sector and promote the sale of locally produced foods has also been approved by members of the Southern Interior Local Government Association. “Our industry has reached a critical point due Joe Sardinha to depressed market returns. Growers are adamant that it is a matter of survival of their orchards and the industry,” said Joe Sardinha, B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association president. “Our province is not competitive with government support for agriculture, resulting in unfair trade impact on pricing. This is why I am particularly pleased to see the resolutions endorsed by both Metro Vancouver and Southern Interior Local Government Association to increase financial support for agriculture in B.C. and support local farm families.” Sardinha said funding for agriculture programs in B.C. is low in relation to other Canadian provinces, which creates a competitive disadvantage and places financial pressure on growers. According to Statistics Canada, in 2010, B.C.’s agriculture sector lost $87 million — making it the only Canadian province to have negative income that year. The B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association represents 760 family-operated farms that provide $300 million in economic activity.

Drink up some spoken word Wine pairs nicely with some bons mots at inaugural Valley First Polson Pouring KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Wine sippers have been known to spill a few words –– in vino veritas, loose lips and all that –– but an event coming to Vernon Sunday pairs viniculture with words in a whole new way. Part of the newly vamped Okanagan Summer Wine Festival, the Valley First Polson Pouring, taking place in Vernon’s Polson Park from 3 to 6 p.m., not only features 32 valley-based wineries pouring their selected libation, it also has six spoken word artists who will entertain with poetry, stories and selected works in an art form that is gaining steam all over the world. “We’ve been trying to find an event that will set us apart from the festival other than the usual music accompanying the wine and food,” said Michelle Jefferson, Vernon Tourism manager. “Spoken word is a unique art form. It can range from story telling to slam poetry... This is an opportunity to expose Vernon to this newer art form with a slight twist.” It is also one of the ways the Okanagan Wine Festival Society is starting over with its summer wine festival. Held the past nine years at Silver Star Mountain Resort, the festival is now a valley-wide, 10-day-long, outdoor wine-tasting event. “The summer festival was a great success at Silver Star but we simply outgrew it,” said Blair Baldwin, coordinator with the Okanagan Wine Festival Society. “We now have 104-member wineries, and there has been a huge growth in the industry. Our spring and fall festivals are already valley-wide. We’ve done consumer studies and this has been two years in the planning. It’s good economics with the supply and demand of tourists and other visitors to have an early to mid-July wine festival broadened to other communities.”
NATALIA VIGNOLA / MORNING STAR
Michelle Jefferson (left) and Christine Miketon prepare for the Okanagan Summer Wine Festival and Spoken Word Festival, both happening Sunday in Polson Park. The festival society has also received full support and interest from all the tourism bureaus in the Okanagan to promote the events around the valley. “This will also be the first outdoor wine festival we’ve held right in Vernon and we’ve had excellent cooperation from the
city. We’re watching the weather network, hoping for sunny skies,” said Baldwin. Vernon Tourism is committed for three years to host a summer wine festival event in town, said Jefferson, adding that the newly renovated Polson Park is the preferred venue.
“As we move forward, we will see how it goes,” she said. “Polson Park is such a magnificent park. We want to show it off. We plan on growing this over the next year.” The inaugural Polson Pouring will also be the first time a spoken word event of this magnitude has taken place in the North Okanagan. It was business students at Okanagan College’s Kalamalka campus who came up with the marketing plan to stage a spoken word event. Local publisher Robert MacDonald, a founding director of the Okanagan Institute, lined up the artists to perform. “Spoken word encompasses all artists/ writers working in the oral tradition,” said MacDonald. “This includes jazz, dub, hip hop and slam writers, storytellers, folklorists and folk writers. Spoken word can encompass word, story, language, rhythm, sound, music, and beat. It is generally written and presented in the voice and tone of the people. It is for the people. It represents the community.” Artists scheduled to perform at Sunday’s event include Cathryn Wellner, Jarrod Thalheimer, Harold Rhenisch, Sara Bynoe, Cameron Welch and Karin Wilson, with Betty Selin of Sun FM as master of ceremonies. “Many of them have been involved in workshops at UBC Okanagan through the creative writing studies there,” said Jefferson, adding the wine festival will help put Vernon on the cultural map. “There has been a lot of interest in the arts community about this. We are looking at this as a kind of fringe festival where we can activate the rest of the community and make the park hum with a cultural-type festival.” Tickets for Sunday’s Valley First Polson Pouring are $59 each, available at Select Your Tickets, 250-717-5304, or www.selectyourtickets.com. A free taxi ride home, as well as appetizers and a wine glass, are included in the price. For more information on other Okanagan Summer Wine Festival events, pick up a brochure at the local tourism centre, or where wine is sold, or go to the society’s website at www.thewinefestivals.com.

Arts West Bengal artist to perform in Cherryville Morning Star Staff
Cherryville is about to get a dose of culture from the eastern part of India when a renowned singer, dancer and yoga practitioner pays a visit to the Cherryville Farmers Market Saturday. Currently on tour through Vancouver and the Okanagan, Pavarthy Baul is a singer, painter and storyteller from West Bengal who has committed herself to the disciplined life of spiritual and yogic training in the tradition known as Baul. She is a devotee of Sanatan Das Baul who is respected by his peers as one of the few contemporary Baul practitioners. In 2009, Pavarthy received her final initiation from Sanatan Das, empowering her to represent the Baul teachings and music with students of her own. Parvathy, much like her master, is now recognized around the world for her brilliant voice and masterful solos.
Influenced by artists such as James Taylor, Crosby Stills and Nash, Neil Young, Phil Keaggy, Bruce Cockburn and others, The Creeks play an intriguing blend of acoustic styles and harmony vocals that catch the ear. The last concert, Aug. 28, features the talents of locals Rob Dinwoodie and Dixon Zalit. A range manager for the B.C. Ministry of Forests, Dinwoodie works with ranchers and their cattle on the rugged crown ranges of the B.C. Interior, spending a lot of time in the saddle, which inspires a lot of his songs. He digs into history for songs about the province’s legendary cowboys, cattlemen and stage drivers. Dinwoodie’s music offers a colourful ride through B.C. ranch country, with a tip of the hat to legends such as Val Haynes and, of course, train robber Billy Miner. Together with Zalit, the duo always entertains and brings the country to life.

Okanagan Film Festival kickstarts its funding campaign KELOWNA –– The Okanagan Film Festival (OFF) has partnered with www.kickstarter. com to use the growing trend of crowdfunding to re-vamp the Kelowna-based festival. Donations are now being accepted for OFF, which has non-profit charitable status, on the Kickstarter website. Festival vice president Adam Scorgie was successful in raising money in his last Kickstarter campaign and now wants to help the local festival get back on its feet. Scorgie took it upon himself to scout and hire a local film crew to produce the festival’s Kickstarter video, and now that the campaign is running, it’s time to promote the cause, he said. Those donating to OFF will receive a receipt for a taxable deduction as well as a bonus gift depending on the amount they give. “The Okanagan is one of the most beautiful places on earth and a location scout’s dream,” said Scorgie. “We have deserts, lakes, lush vineyards, amazing parks,
snowy mountains. What more could you want? So donate now and feel superior in the knowledge you helped create history in the making, and receive a charitable tax receipt at the same time.” (Tax receipts are applicable for Canadian residents only.) The Okanagan Film Festival will take place Sept. 22 to 25 in Kelowna to place it
behind the powerhouse Toronto International Fim Festival. “This will attract some bigger films such as the new Gus Van Sant flick rumoured to potentially air at OFF after it premieres in Toronto,” said Scorgie. For more information on the festival or the Kickstarter fundraising campaign, contact Scorgie at (832) 277-5983

Don’t Let Your Windows Leave You In A Fog Dirty Foggy Windows
Many homes built between the late 70s and the early 90s experience sealed unit failure. Unit failure leads to condensation forming between the two layers of glass causing them to steam and fog up.
Is There a Solution?
Yes, the only real solution is to replace the sealed unit. You only need to replace the glass not the frame which means it can be done easily with a minimum amount of disruption.
Call our office at 250-542-9966 to arrange for a no obligation estimate to suit your schedule.

Morning Star Staff
Two weeks ago Brad Gaynor celebrated the completion of a program that prepares graduates for a line of work where getting your hands dirty, scouting for cracks in foundations, investigating invisible plumbing leaks and other unexpected perils that plague home owners is all a part of an average day. “It felt great to graduate,” said the 41-yearold Vernon general contractor who just completed the 355hour home inspection certificate at Okanagan College. “It’s not an easy course. You have to be willing to put your nose to the grindstone, that’s for sure.” Home inspectors are in demand throughout the province, so the college will be offering the program again this fall at the Kalamalka campus – with both a full-time and part-time stream. Both streams lead to a home inspection certificate accredited by the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of B.C. The full-time program runs for 16 weeks, while the part-time distance education program lasts just over 26 weeks, punctuated with four separate weeks of on-campus instruction. “We like both classes to be together to hear from electrical inspectors, experts on gas safety, and to take their occupational first aid,” said instructor Barry Brooks, who holds an engineering degree. In 2009, the B.C. government introduced licensing for home inspectors. “By the time students are finished they’ll have done their business plan, have their elevator speech, thought about the start-up costs, and worked on their formal communications – both written and oral,” said Brooks. “To us, these business issues are very important and it puts them ahead of the game so our graduates can be successful.” Students graduating

Soleway OT winner forces Game 3 Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Re/Max Tigers rallied from an early deficit to clip the Kelowna Raiders 7-6 in double-overtime in Game 2 of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League semifinals Monday night at Wesbild Centre. The Catsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Riley Soleway, who finished with three goals and an assist, buried the winner on a pick-and-roll, faking low and shooting high early in sudden death, ensuring a series-deciding Game 3 Thursday night in Kelowna. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best game weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played all year, but it was a great game. We just ran them into the ground,â&#x20AC;? said Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach Myles Brumpton, who celebrated the birth of his third child, daughter Chloey Grace Brumpton, Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Defensively, we punished them. Offensively, we just continued to cycle the ball and capitalized on our opportunities.â&#x20AC;? Down 3-0 in the first period, the Tigers recomposed themselves and cut the lead to one on goals by Midget call-up Jordan Orr and Soleway before the intermission. Said Soleway: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played pretty hard. Our defence was excellent. Our offence was good enough to win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (Raiders) donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to lose, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to see them down sometimes.â&#x20AC;? Vernon had to juggle its lineup after Mitch Steele left the game in the first period. He is questionable for Game 3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get rattled,â&#x20AC;? said Brumpton, crediting Austin Lewarne for his tenacious two-way play, Soleway for his willingness to take punish-
ment to provide offence and netminder Josh Point for anchoring the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defence with a terrific 46-save showing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had some big individual performances, but they were weaved into an overall team effort.â&#x20AC;? Singles by Braden Barr and Connor Payne, another call-up, handled Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-period attack. Jordan Urban answered for Kelowna to make it 4-4 after 40 minutes. Goals by Soleway and Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sheldon McDonald kept the score deadlocked after regulation, and in a 10-minute non-sudden death period, singles by Payne (2+1) and Patrick McMillan pushed it to sudden death. Jay Seaton recorded three helpers for the Tigers, Craig Bigsby had two. Kelowna netminder Tanner Belsham recorded 47 stops. In Game 1 Saturday night in Kelowna, the Raiders scored off the opening faceoff and never looked back, cruising to an 11-4 rout. Tyler French (3+2), Brendan Urban (2+2) and McDonald (2+1) were the main scoring threats for Kelowna. Brennan Plate, Bigsby, Nolan Frame and Steele handled Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Third period was a much closer game, but they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take their foot off the pedal. They wanted to send a message,â&#x20AC;? said Brumpton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t penetrate their defence.â&#x20AC;? Lewarne held his own in his first junior lacrosse tilt against veteran scrapper Scott Renner.

Armstrong Shamrocks' Joel Castle comes in fast for a shot against Kamloops Venom's netminder Andrew Copeland during Junior B lacrosse action Monday evening at Nor-Val Sports Centre.
The Armstrong Shamrocks could have used a little WD-40 heading into Game 1 of their best-of-three Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse playoff semifinal Monday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. After a first-round playoff bye and a two-week layoff, the host Shamrocks showed all kinds of rust in a 6-2 loss to the Kamloops Venom. Dropped passes and poor outlets were a recipe for disaster, allowing the Venom to capitalize on offence. If not for Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rugged defence,

Shamrocksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; assistant coach Ryan Nitchie said the scoreline could have been worse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played with real intensity in the first two periods but we still took some mental breaks that cost us,â&#x20AC;? said Nitchie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a lot of our boys, this was their first playoff game and they were squeezing their sticks and not playing as loose as they normally do.â&#x20AC;? Brett Hawrys potted the two Shamrock goals. During the game, the Armstrong Kraft Celebration Tour organizing committee hosted a barbecue and set up computers for online contest voting at Nor-Val.

Legends miss medals Morning Star Staff
Despite a solid effort, each of the three North Okanagan Legends squads was shut out of the medals at the B.C. Pee Wee Box Lacrosse Championships last weekend in Vernon and Armstrong. Powerhouse teams from the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island proved a little too much for the host Legends, who had a three-week layoff before the tourney began. The Nor-Val/Hi-Pro A2 Legends salvaged a 10-6 win against Abbotsford Saturday after dropping their first two Friday round-robin games. Brady Marzocco (4+1), Jayden Hunter (2), Game MVP Conor Webb (1+3), Stephane Richard (1+2), Jake Pelletier (1+2) and Niklas Luttmerding handled the attack. Cole Martin chipped in with a helper. “With the way the A2 division games went it was a bit of a surprise how things unfolded. All the favoured A2 teams struggled to contend,” noted A2 Legends’ head coach Harold Mann. Langley iced Richmond 12-6 to pocket A2 gold in Sunday’s medal round. Surrey took bronze after stuffing Nanaimo 10-6. In the A1 division, Coquitlam secured gold by shading runners-up Ridge Meadows 7-4 in the championship game, and New Westminster pocketed bronze with an 11-6 win over Juan de Fuca. In B division play, Coquitlam outlasted Campbell River 8-2 to collect gold, and Shuswap
shaded North Shore 6-5 for bronze. In the C class, it was Delta doubling Penticton 10-5 for gold, and Juan de Fuca stopping Mission 8-4 for bronze. In Saturday play, the North Okanagan C squad bowed 8-5 to Delta to finish with a 1-2 record, and the B Legends fell 10-4 to Juan de Fuca to end at 0-3. “The tournament was a huge success for the association, and on behalf of the A2 squad we would like to thank all the volunteers that put in a major amount of hours preparing and pulling off a tournament of this capacity with no issues,” said Mann. “The host convenors, Lolly Barr and Amy Drabuik, lived at the rinks everyday from opening in the morning till after the last people left home at night. “All three teams had lead people that worked to organize their teams, parents and volunteers – thank you to all of them. From the A2 team, Trenna Luttmerding was rock-solid.” At Saturday’s recognition ceremonies, Marzocco was named to the A2 All-Star Team, Spencer King received the A2 Legends’ Fair Play Award and Mann was voted the Fair Play Coach. “Overall it was a really great season. We went unbeaten in our own league this year, won a gold medal in Penticton and won a silver medal at home,” said Mann, thanking assistant coach Rob Seaton for his efforts.

Wasylyk made it 3-0 on a broken play. With Big O losing two players to injury, and with no subs, Brandt’s Creek (3-82) put on the pressure and got singles from Geoffrey Averay-Jones and Lloyd Pendelton. Strong defence by Big O’s Leo Nadeau and Mike Adams, and tireless efforts from Kerry Zubot and hobbling Rob Culos, held down the fort. Marketplace IGA pushed its undefeated season to 12-0 with a 3-2 win over secondplace Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels Monday night at Marshall #1. In a well-played game, IGA tok a 1-0 lead into the break on a goal by Brad Heuser in the 15th minute. IGA went up 2-0 on a goal off a corner kick headed in by Darryl Hazell 10 minutes into the second half. The Camels drew within one on a goal by Gord Howard, taking a pass off the wing from Jim Mottus at the six-yard line and burying it under the cross bar. IGA regained a two-goal advantage on a fine shot to the low corner by Larry Kinakin. The Camels crept within a goal by Dave Dawson on a 20-yarder that deflected off an IGA defender and found its way under the crossbar with three minutes left. Host Rutland upset the Vernon Silver Stars 2-1 Monday night. The Stars pressured early and dominated the ball in the first 25 minutes.

Bryan Schenker recorded the equalizer in the final minute as Vernon Square Liquor Store Celtics salvaged a 4-4 draw with Vernon Toyota in Okanagan Oldimters 35+ Soccer League play Monday night at Marshall #4. The result must have felt like a win for the tiremen, who played the entire game short a player. Toyota got off to a hot start with John Orton finding the net at the two-minute mark. Mike Collins’ one-timer after a loose ball tied the game, but sharpshooter Orton, once on a long ball, and once on a header to the far corner, completed his first-half hat trick. Just before the break, Schenker went on a solo run to pull the 4-5-2 Celtics within a goal. Toyota (5-5-1) recharged during halftime and within three minutes, speedy Marty Steele swirled through the Celtic’s defence to record his team’s fourth goal. With 15 minutes to go, Celtic fullback Simon Schofield brought the margin back to one with a nifty shot from the top of the penalty box.

Vernon’s Nathan Champness followed up his win at the Kal RATS Sprint last month by taking the Persona Desert Half Iron by storm Sunday in Osoyoos. The 27-year-old, who works at GNC nutrition, finished the two-kilometre swim, 90-km bike, 21.1km run in four hours, 20 minutes and 25 seconds, more than three minutes ahead of runner-up Dallas Cain of Rossland (4:23:29). Vancouver’s Ynuk Bosse rated third with 4:27:26. “The sunburn was the worst of it. I was expecting cooler weather and then the sun came out on the run. I’ve got a farmer’s tan for the next two weeks, for sure,” smiled Champness, who dedicated the win to his late uncle, Karl Friesen. “He was a very encouraging person,” he added. Vernon’s Peter Baumeister finished ninth overall, and first in the men’s 19-24 division, with 4:47:21. Coldstream’s Eric Jewell set a personal best, finishing 15th in 4:58:02, while Vernon’s Simon Craig, who vowed to never again go sockless in the run, rated 28th in 5:10:24. Cliff Acob of Coldstream clocked a 5:25:01 to place 42nd, Michael Gilman was 53rd with a 5:30:43 and Chris Brown cracked the top 100 with a 6:17:20. In women’s action, Vancouver’s Christine Fletcher claimed first place with 4:50:25. Vernon’s Carol Davidson ranked 19th in the women’s 40-44, and Susan Falkenholt took 14th in the women’s 45-49.

Hampered by injuries, Vernon United limped into a sixth-place finish at the B.C. Under 14 Boys Soccer Championships last weekend at Kings Park in Penticton. After winning their opening round-robin game against Penticton Friday, the injuries began piling up for United when the faced Prince George that night. They lost backfielders Jordan Dewing and Jason Reich, but salvaged a 1-1 draw. Down a goal, Lucas Ross scored a picture-perfect penalty kick for the offence, while the depleted back line kept the Prince George from generating any further chances. Rookie keeper Bryce Dyck played like a seasoned veteran in place of injured Cole Shoemaker, coming up with some key saves. Saturday morning, Vernon played well against Terrace, but fell 4-2. United dominated possession and kept the ball in the offensive zone for most of the first half, but headed to the intermission trailing 2-1. Ross again supplied Vernon’s offence with a solid strike from the edge of the box. The second half started with star striker Zach Kronbauer leaving the game with a sprained ankle, and Terrace capitalized with two more goals before United speedster Matt Kreutz broke the line and connected on a beautiful strike going far side. Vernon and Terrace had the same record, but Terrace advanced to the bronze-medal game with the win. In the fifth-place relegation game, Vernon lost a heartbreaker on penalty kicks. With Vernon’s twin towers, Kronbauer and Dewing, watching from the sidelines with ice bags on their injuries, United never gave up and played to the last whistle.

Pospisil leads Canada comeback Vernon’s Vasek Pospisil helped Team Canada complete an impressive comeback against Ecuador in Americas Group 1 Davis Cup tennis action last weekend in Toronto. With Canada trailing 2-0 after Friday’s opening singles matches, Pospisil teamed up with Davis Cup veteran Daniel Nestor to take Saturday’s doubles match 3-0 (6-7(4) 4-6 5-7) over Emilio Gomez and Roberto Quiroz. Pospisil, ranked No. 191 on the ATP World Tour, then grounded Julio-Cesar
Campozano in straight sets (6-3, 6-4, 7-5) in singles play Sunday, setting up teammate Philip Bester to complete the comeback with a 6-2, 7-6(4), 6-4 decision over Ivan Endara. “I’m so happy I was able to bounce back today after that first singles match (four-set loss to Endara Friday) when I really didn’t play well and felt like I let my team down,” the 21-year-old told Tennis Canada. “Yesterday’s doubles match really calmed me down and I took that momentum into today.
For the past month the Vernon Diamondbacks have been on the wrong end of some lopsided scores. Sloppy defence, poor hitting and mediocre pitching haven’t amounted to many positives for the team. However, in their annual three-game set against the host Trail Orioles last weekend, they started to turn things around. In Saturday’s series opener, Peter Ortman took the hill for the D-backs, and after giving up a pair of firstinning runs, he settled down and threw a complete game, scattering seven hits while striking out six. The D-backs got a run back in the fourth after Ryan Boe got hit with a pitch, advanced to second on an error, and scored on Jason Webster’s first RBI of the season. After that, Trail shut the D-backs down the rest of the game to earn a 2-1 win.
In Game 2, the D-backs bowed 10-0, falling victim to the long ball as Trail scored six runs on three home runs. The only offence Vernon managed was a bunt-single by Ortman. The Orioles shaded the Diamondbacks 4-3 in the third tilt early Sunday morning. Vernon allowed single runs in the second and third innings, the latter a solo homerun. They answered with a run in the fourth, and two more in the fifth as Jared Sochan, Tyler Gertzen and Kyle Anderson all had RBI. Trail jumped back out on top when Kyle Mace launched a two-run dinger to right field. Vernon loaded the bases in the seventh, and with two outs, a questionable strike-three call ended the game. Ryan Boe pitched well for the Diamondbacks, scattering six hits in a complete game effort.

A foursome of local adrenaline junkies battled in the International Gravity Sports Association (IGSA) World Cup/World Junior Championships in Goldendale, Wash. Perched on the banks of the Columbia River, the 3.5-kilometre course is one of the premier race sites in the world, with nearly 300 of the world’s top longboard and street luge competing. Facing strong tailwinds in qualifying, Vernon’s Brendan Davidson, 16, surprised the field by posting the fifth fastest time overall. Vernon’s Zen Shikaze, 20, a former world cup champion, qualified sixth despite nursing injured shoulders. On the second day of qualifying, Shikaze clocked the fastest time of the day to move up to third, and Davidson settled in at eighth position. Vernon’s Mischo Erban, winner of six world cup races, and current world speed record holder, qualified in 12th. The remaining Vernon rider, Quin Finocchio, 16, qualified 51st in the open division, and ninth in the junior class. In an unofficial King of the Mountain race featuring the top six qualifiers, Shikaze rode aggressively to finish second. In the main event, Davidson advanced
to the junior semifinals and won his heat. In the finals, he placed fifth. Finocchio advanced to the third round and placed a strong 11th. In the Open event, Shikaze dominated throughout the semifinals, but riding in second place at the last corner in the finals, he appeared to be pushed into the hay bales by Swiss racer Martin Siegrist, who was inches behind him. Shikaze went down hard but was unhurt, finishing sixth. But after going over video replay, race officials deemed the Swiss racer to have interfered with Shikaze and he was disqualified, moving Shikaze up to fifth. The winner of the race was Ramon Konigshausen from Switzerland. Erban and Davidson were narrowly squeezed out in the third round, as was Finnochio in the second. Said Shikaze: “The Festival of Speed is unique. It’s a fast technical course that allows for lots of drafting and passing during the race, which creates intense competition among the riders. “It also sets a very diverse playing field for competitors since people come from all around the world for the first world cup race of the season. It was unfortunate what happened in the finals with Martin and I, but there is always next year to get onto the podium.”

Vernon rhythmic gymnast Kelsey Anderson will compete at the World Summer University Games in Shenzhen, China.
Vernon athlete Kelsey Anderson missed her high school graduation at Vernon Secondary, but for a very good reason. The 18-year-old was busy qualifying for the Canadian women’s rhythmic gymnastics team at nationals in Montreal. Anderson will say it was well worth it. “National team has been my goal for awhile. To top it off, Gymnastics Canada has assigned me, along with my coach, Camille Martens, to the Summer World University Games in Shenzhen, China this August.” Anderson leaves for Shenzhen Aug. 15, and will continue training in the meantime. The gymnastics competition goes Aug. 20-22. “It’s an incredible opportunity to compete at an international games and I am over the moon, although it does come with a huge financial commitment,” explained Anderson. With the support of Okanagan Rhythmic Gymnastics Association and local parent group, Anderson is
organizing a Nature’s Fare Blitz. She is asking for the public’s help in collecting Nature’s Fare receipts to help cover her travel and accommodation costs to China. Nature’s Fare supports non-profit organizations in the North Okanagan by donating a small percentage from receipts submitted. She can be contacted at 250-3088377, or via e-mail at kvanderson@ shaw.ca. There is also an envelope on the bulletin board at the front desk of The Morning Star where receipts can be dropped off. The cutoff date is Aug. 31. CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) is organizing the Canadian delegation to the Games in China and is offering an Adopt-an-Athlete Program. Through the program, CIS is able to provide tax receipts for unconditional contributions of $25 or more.

Dr. Case Boot is traveling with Parkinson's disease with courage, faith and his own quiet sense of humour. The first sign on the road, although he didn't know it at the time, was that his handwriting, both on the black board as a teacher and his own handwriting, was getting smaller. He was a long-time professor of linguistics at Dordt College in Sioux Centre, Iowa, nearing the end of a busy and satisfying career. He didn't tell anyone, even his wife, Aly, about the change. They continued with their plans to take students for a semester abroad to Amsterdam. It was there that he saw Prince Claus, who had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, taking part in a public ceremony and showing visible symptoms. Boot had recently seen a medical program on TV and it made him wonder, if he, too, had the disease. Another incident made him think more about the possibility. He had previously worked as a baker and was decorating an anniversary cake for friends when he found that he couldn't write the greeting. "I went to see my family doctor and a neurologist who made the diagnosis. We made adjustments to our lifestyle and I was able to continue teaching until I was almost 70 years old," said Boot. "I found very little information. Most of it I had to search hard for. I didn't know what I could expect later on. I wanted to write the book to help others who have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease." He has always had a strong desire to help others, starting, he thinks, when he was growing up in Holland during the Second World War, going to a school where the teachers were Nazis and sometimes having to go into hiding. The family complete with 11 children, the last born in Canada, came to Alberta after the war and Boot found work in a bakery. He and Aly had four children. When Boot was 30, he heard a speaker at a Bible camp who inspired him to pursue his dream to be a teacher. He got his BA and taught high school, then two MA degrees and taught at Dordt College while he completed his doctor of arts degree. They moved to Vernon in 2002 to be central for family. Sharing the Road A Journey through Parkinson's Disease is a short, easy-toread book with chapters covering the first hurdles, how the diagnosis is made, the symptoms, medication therapy, physical therapy, and how to live a good life with Parkinson's disease or other chronic conditions.

Dr. Case Boot tells how he is dealing with Parkinson’s Disease in his book, Sharing the Road. Parkinson's Disease is and why his body is reacting the way it is, including tremors, stiffness, tiredness, voice and emotions, and exercise. "I need to walk every day. Walk with me. Company makes walking fun. It may be a slow walk, but I'll get there. My mind is okay, because I'm slower in movement, I talk more slowly too. I want to be part of the conversation. Let me speak." Boot said Parkinson's disease is often misunderstood and he wrote the book, taking three-and-a-half years to type it himself, to make something useful for others from his experience and to share his story of God's faithfulness. "Parkinson people don't have a smile on their face because it affects how you show your emotions but we still enjoy things and have fun,” he said. “You need to be patient with me and other Parkinson patients. Every patient
may express different symptoms. For example, many people expect everyone with Parkinson's to have shaking hand but I have only very slight tremors that are hardly noticeable." "I want to encourage people and their family and friends. I have had a very positive response to the book. Even people who don't have Parkinson's but have had a lot of other trials in their lives have told me that it was a blessing in their struggles. I am touched that what I have written has been helpful to others." Boot doesn't know what is around the next bend in the road but he knows that with his family, friends and faith, he will get through it. Sharing the Road is available at Bookland and Coles in Vernon and at Amazon.ca. Boot will be be at a book signing Saturday from 1 to 2 p.m. at Coles in the Village Green Mall.

Life
Why public speaking shouldn’t be stressful Some authorities say that public speaking is the main fear that most people have. It is apparently more common than fear of spiders, heights, flying and similar everyday problems or potential problems. Why is this? There are many reasons, varying for every one of us, that I can only guess at. So let me tell you why public speaking is not a problem for me, not now anyway. It was not always that way, and I still have a slight apprehension that I may forget what I am supposed to say. But I have no hesitation in getting up (or sitting down), and saying what words of wisdom I have to offer to my listeners. I say “words of wisdom” for if you don’t believe in what you say, how can you expect others to believe it? And I am always governed by the old maxim “Blessed is he who having nothing to say does not say it.” I have also found that those who ignore that last dictum usually take several times the necessary amount of words to say nothing. What changed my attitude to speaking in public was this. I was about 12 years old and was participating in a poetry festival. I had been taking elocution lessons in what proved to be a rather ineffective attempt, suggested by my father, to correct my local northeastern England dialect habits. Actually I can speak something like the approved standard (or Queen’s) English when required whilst still preserving the ability to speak the Geordie patois fluently, so the lessons were not wasted. I was to read the poem The Old Grey Squirrel by Alfred Noyes and naturally I
knew it by heart, or so I thought! When my turn came to speak I walked to the centre of the stage in a very crowded hall, bowed to the audience, confidently announced the poem’s title and delivered the first line: “A great while ago there was a schoolboy who lived in a cottage by the sea.” Then there was a stricken silence, my mind had gone blank! I just couldn’t remember the second line. In hope that a repetition of the first line would prompt my memory for the second line I started again: “A great while ago there was a schoolboy who lived in a cottage by the sea.” Again a deafening silence, it had not worked. I realized that unless I was going to subject the audience to even more repetitions of the first line, I had better get off the stage as swiftly as possible. So I bowed respectfully to my audience and said that I was sorry but that I had forgotten my poem lines. I thanked them for their attention and walked off the stage dreading the worst. To my surprise the audience actually clapped their hands in sympathy and that made me feel much better. That was the moment when I realized that such apparent disasters like forgetting your lines could be dealt with as long as you stay calm, and polite whilst making a reasonable apology. It was also the moment when any fears of facing any audience or of public speaking left me. It never returned. And whatever they thought of my “performance” nobody threw anything at me or yelled abuse at me. Now I still make careful preparations if I ever have to make a public
Local author pens children’s book The Gulf Islands are an important part of summer in British Columbia. One small Gulf Island, Lasqueti Island, is the setting for Jean Cox’s latest children’s book, The Spaniards’ Treasure. On Lasqueti Island, the legend of the Spaniards, who named the island, is a famous tale. It includes stories of buried treasure, and Spanish sailing ships intending to return and dig it up. Growing up on Lasqueti, Cox was raised on this tale, and it forms the basis of her new children’s novel. Cox draws on her own childhood to provide details for the story, and her heroine, Joanie. Lasqueti Island remains a quaint island; the ferry does not carry cars, and the generators are shut down at nighttime, so it is easy to imagine the excitement
of treasure hunting. Cox moved to Vernon in the early 1980s and since that time has published a book of poetry, Moments of Meditation as well as a young adult novel The Restless Heart. Her newest novel,
was written for children ages eight to 12. Drawings in the book have been provided by Cox’s grandson, Daniel Borthwick. Cox will be signing books from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, at Bookland in Vernon.

speech, indeed after one such experience I learned how necessary that is. But I am no longer apprehensive about giving it. From there one learns to deal with various unexpected situations such as hecklers, plan changes, and unexpected questions or comments. Don’t be afraid of any of them. Here are a few other tips that I have found useful: (1) Most of your audience realize that they could not do as well as you in this situation. They are relieved that they don’t have to (2) Realize that the more unusual the subject is, the less your audience is likely to know about it or to contradict you (3) If you speak authoritatively, clearly, and confidently, your audience will think that you know what you are talking about – even if you don’t (4) If you are asked about
something that you know absolutely nothing about then say so and change to some vaguely related matter that you are conversant with and talk about that instead, (I got this tip from a British radio show called “One minute please” where participants had to talk for one minute about some obscure subject that they had no previous warning of.) There are many other tips that you can acquire as you continue your public speaking experience, but don’t rely completely on them as someone could call your bluff! And what was that elusive second line? It was: “And the very first thing he could remember was the rigging of the schooners by the quay.” I looked it up on the internet again to be sure I got the second line right this time.

Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL In the year ahead there are some strong indications that some friends will play key roles in your affairs, not only socially, but business-wise as well. Be friendly to all, because you donít know which ones will step up and open those doors.
PUZZLE NO. 203
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Treat everyone youíre around as someone special and itíll add a luster to your personality you couldnít manufacture. Make popularity your goal.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Lady Luck always tags onto tenacity of purpose, so unless you donít want her in your life, do whatever you can to make what you want happen. The harder you try, the better your chances. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Good things happen when we get out and do what we can to socialize with others. You might even be able to make a new friend whoíll become special in your life. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Some kind of better shift in conditions is developing for you, of which you might not initially be aware. As time passes, however, it will become abundantly clear to you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) There are strong indications that something youíre tying to do cannot be accomplished alone. If youíre having trouble tackling an important project, keep this in mind and get a partner. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) By thinking in positive terms or using constructive measures to fulfill a material hope or expectation, a sizeable profit can be realized. Donít let yourself get dragged down by a naysayer. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You should try to make things happen instead of waiting for them to occur. Enterprises or endeavors you originate and personally control have strong possibilities of becoming realities. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Even if you are a trifle bit slow in revving up some
steam to get yourself going, once you get started, there will be no holding you back. You could be an amazing finisher. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) There is likely to be some strong justification for you feeling a bit fortunate. Dame Fortune wonít do the job for you, but she will help you to get on a roll and pull things off. ARIES (March 21-April 19) If youíre designing something you hope could generate a profit, once your plans are solidified, donít sit on them. Delay wonít help; only action will make things happen. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Get out and mingle if you can, because you could run into someone who belongs to a group youíre longed to join. When you start interacting, others will interact with you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Instead of trying to make things happen, let life take its own course of events. Lady Luck is likely to do a far better job for you than you can yourself.
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 Listen to ďŹ nd the best lead A.N. Other said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My wife says I never listen to her. At least I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what she said.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lucky he stayed anonymous; otherwise, she would have surely become his ex-wife. But as I have been stressing this week, to ďŹ nd the best opening lead, you must listen to the bidding. Look at the West hand. What would you lead against four spades? Your ďŹ rst thought might have been the club jack. But analyze the auction for a few moments. North responded in diamonds and South raised the suit. Together, they have eight or nine diamonds. So, your partner has at most one diamond. And you have two
fast entries: the heart ace and spade ace. Lead the diamond eight, hoping partner can ruff immediately; but at the worst, he will have a singleton, you will take the ďŹ rst trump trick, and he will ruff the second diamond. Why do you select the eight? Whenever you hope you are giving partner a ruff, your card sends a suitpreference signal, telling partner which of the other two side suits to return. Here, because you have the higherranking heart ace, you lead your highest diamond. As you can see, everything works perfectly. East ruffs, puts you in with a heart, and gets a second ruff. Later, the spade ace results in down one. Did you think that you
should have doubled four spades? That is all right if they sit for it, but if an opponent runs to ďŹ ve diamonds, you will regret it because that contract is unbeatable. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t double the only contract you can defeat -- unless it is seven no-trump!
