Questions arise over Duteau facility RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Some Greater Vernon residents are boiling their water although the new $29 million Duteau Creek treatment plant came on line last fall. A water quality advisory was issued two weeks ago because of maintenance and it’s now been extended indefinitely because seasonal water sources are being used to meet irrigation and domestic needs. “We spent $29 million and we’re still getting crappy water,” said Gyula Kiss, a director with the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee. “It won’t kill you but people paid to get better water and they’re
“We spent $29 million and we’re still getting crappy water.” — Gyula Kiss not getting it.” Under a water quality advisory, young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are urged to boil their water for one minute for drinking, washing produce, making beverages or ice and brushing teeth. Kiss insists there’s not enough treated water for both residential
and agricultural uses, and a separate system of untreated water for farmers is required. “It was ill-conceived,” said Kiss of the plan to treat all Duteau Creek water no matter the use. “Right from the beginning the major focus should have been separation.” Regional District of North
Okanagan staff insist the plant is functioning properly and operational adjustments were expected after it opened last September. “It’s a trying time for the plant when the flows are high,” said Al Cotsworth, utilities manager. “The amount of time the water spends in the plant is stretching the chemistry of it.” Seasonal water sources are only chlorinated before entering the distribution system, leading to turbidity, or cloudiness, that exceeds requirements. All bacterial tests have been clear but the water quality remains at fair. “Caution with health issues is always the first word so we decided to leave the advisory on,” said
Cotsworth. Cotsworth says staff is becoming more familiar with how the plant functions. “Operators are making adjustments to meet the demands on Duteau Creek and it is meeting demands,” he said. “But we’re just not totally confident, knowing we may have to bring King Edward and Deer lakes in to meet peak demand.” Cotsworth doesn’t believe a quality advisory would be avoided if agricultural separation was in place because there would be a smaller plant. “Even if we had separation, we could have this situation because domestic demands for water are high,” he said.

News TSN making tracks for Armstrong ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Jay Onrait and Dan O’Toole are coming to Armstrong. And Armstrong, you have been forewarned. The popular, hilarious TSN Sportscentre hosts, seen regularly at 11 p.m. PDT and again on the station’s Morning Loop the following morning, will be in Armstrong Friday, Aug. 19, to broadcast the 3 p.m. Sportscentre edition from a locale to be determined shortly, the result of the city’s winning the B.C. leg of the 2011 Kraft Celebration Tour. Onrait and O’Toole will kick off the Canada-wide tour in the North Okanagan. “So beware, Armstrong,� laughed TSN director of communications Greg McIsaac. “Those are two guys who really embrace the Kraft Celebration Tour program with their energy and enthusiasm. Nobody embraces it more than those two.� Armstrong beat out Creston in a 24-hour online voting campaign held Monday and Tuesday. The winner was announced Tuesday during the 3 p.m. Sportscentre show. A crowd of about 200 gathered at the Nor-Val Sports Centre let out a loud cheer when TSN anchor Rod Smith announced Armstrong as the winner. The city will also receive $25,000 from Kraft Canada for upgrades to the aging Hassen Arena, which could be a prime spot
JESSICA SCHWITEK/MORNING STAR
Some jump up and cheer while others cover their ears to block the noise at Nor-Val Sports Centre Tuesday after it was announced on TSN that Armstrong had won the Kraft Celebration Tour. to host Sportscentre. “We met with TSN and Kraft reps today (Wednesday), and we toured some possible locations with the team,� said Armstrong Coun. Ryan Nitchie, an organizing com-
mittee member. “They are reviewing with their producers and we hope to have the location narrowed down shortly.� TSN producers will be visiting Armstrong in the next week doing site
checks and starting to shoot some visuals, things such as generic landscape shots and shots of the community in action. Those shots will be used throughout the Sportscentre broadcasts from Armstrong on Aug. 19. “It’s definitely the highlight of the year for everyone involved,� said McIsaac of the Kraft Celebration Tour, which is now in its third year. “It’s one of those unique programs that touches all aspects of the company. “You can lose a little bit of perspective sitting in a Toronto studio, you forget how many people actually watch and appreciate what we do. So getting out into the community is a great opportunity for us.� Thousands of people took part in the online voting between Armstrong and Creston, though the final vote count won’t be released until after the 10 winning communities in the Kraft Celebration Tour have been selected. Wallaceburg, Ont., like Armstrong a big lacrosse community, was named the second winner on Wednesday, beating out Trenton, Ont. Residents of Wallaceburg cast a number of votes Armstrong’s way, and Armstrong citizens returned the favour. “Congrats to Wallaceburg who won today,� said Nitchie, an assistant coach with the Armstrong Junior Shamrocks. “I also want to commend Creston for all of their efforts in rallying their community for this challenge.�
Rate of shoreline development alarms RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A Vernon politician is increasingly concerned not enough is being done to protect local lakes. A recent foreshore inventory mapping project indicated that 47 per cent of the Okanagan Lake shoreline has been substantially changed, with only 43 per cent still remaining in its natural condition. “If the current trends continue, the plants and animals that depend on the habitat could be in trouble,� said Coun. Buffy Baumbrough, who is also a member of the

“...The plants and the animals that depend on the habitat could be in trouble.� — Buffy Baumbrough Okanagan Basin Water Board. The report, which was commissioned by OBWB, states the rate of change is estimated at 0.5 to two per cent of natural shoreline loss per year. Consultant Jason Schleppe,
who did the reports, estimates that at this current rate, the entire shoreline of Okanagan Lake could be developed in 15 to 20 years. While some of the modifications to the foreshore have been authorized by levels of govern-

ment, others have not. “A lot of the modifications are occurring without permits. Better enforcement would be helpful but that’s not our jurisdiction,� said Baumbrough, adding that provincial and federal agencies are ultimately responsible. Schleppe has suggested that the loss of shoreline can be stopped or slowed but it will require a collaborative effort between all levels of government. However, Baumbrough isn’t sure if that can happen given that the province is moving ahead with new riparian regulations.
“If that occurs, that could reduce local government input,� she said.

Tome praises efforts of Vernon residents Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan residents are being praised for their support of victims of Japan’s earthquake and tsunami. A total of $10,000 was raised for relief efforts in Tome, Vernon’s sister city. “We are very proud of being a sister city of Vernon,” said Takahisa Fuse, Tome’s mayor, in a letter to the City of Vernon.
“I do hope our sister city alliance will continue forever.” Funds were raised in the North Okanagan by individual residents, service clubs and through a gala organized by the City of Vernon, the Vernon Japanese Cultural Society and cultural organizations. The earthquake in northern Japan struck March 11. “In our city, many
“I do hope our sister city alliance will continue forever.” — Takahisa Fuse houses and buildings were completely destroyed or half destroyed,” said Fuse. “As our city is located far from the seaside area, we had no dam-
ages from the tsunami.” Most residents living along the Pacific Ocean lost everything to the earthquake and tidal wave. “Many people from
these cities or towns took refuge in Tome,” said Fuse. “We have been doing our best to make reconstruction from the damages. We also have been
trying to give every necessary assistance to the victims of the earthquake or tsunami.” Fuse said his community will make the best use possible of the money donated by the residents of the North Okanagan. “It will take a long time before we recover our peaceful life again but our situations are getting better day by day.”
There has been an official sister city relationship between Tome and Vernon since about 1985.

Heritage building a concern ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
What was once hoped to become a heritage site has become a nuisance for the City of Armstrong. A building in the 3200 block of Okanagan Street has become so run down and potentially dangerous, the city is sending a letter to the building’s owner, W. Ben Lee, ordering him to have the building reviewed by a structural engineer as being structurally safe. The owner must also board up all of the broken windows and the crawl space access. According to a report from the city’s building inspector, children have been observed playing in the crawl space. Coun. John Trainor said the site houses one of Armstrong’s original buildings from its Chinese community, and that over the years, council has been proactive in encouraging the owner to do something with the building. “We have tried to encourage him to create a Chinese heritage site for that building but there has been very little interest from him,” said Trainor. “This move may seem a little harsh but it’s been years in the making. Kids are going into that crawl space and there’s going to be an accident or tragedy there. We have to let Mr. Lee know we are serious about this.” The building was inspected on May 31 at the request of the city and was found to be in a dilapidated condition. Most of the exterior windows were broken

Board of Directors
The City of Armstrong has asked the owner of this heritage building in the 3200 block of Okanagan Street to determine if it’s structurally sound.
“It’s just in too rough of shape.” — Paul Britton or boarded up. The brick exterior has many large cracks which could indicate possible structural damage from settlement or building movement. The inspection report said the crawl space access at the time was open, the roof appeared to be leaking which caused considerable water damage inside, and the interior was full of combustible materials such as wooden boxes, furniture and discarded items. “We always thought somebody would come forward and turn it into a museum,” said Coun. Paul Britton of the building. “But this report shows it’s just in too rough of shape. We have to move forward and find out if it is salvage-
able. Is there somebody going to step up and purchase it? It’s unfortunate but it’s a sign of the times.” In a one-page letter to council, Lee acknowledged the building was in disrepair, and expressed a willingness to work with the city. “Having been a longtime resident, we do not want to offend the community with what you describe as a dilapidated building,” wrote Lee. “We will do our best to work with the city so that our building does not have to be demolished.” Lee has boarded up broken windows, removed grass from the basement opening and blocked that opening. Lee wrote that he has blocked the entrance on numerous occasions but
states “it is continually vandalized and broken into.” Lee said a realtor and clients have expressed interest in purchasing the building and renovating it, that the clients have had the building inspected and have approached a bank about a mortgage.
MEETING CANCELLATION Please be advised that the scheduled meetings of the Board of Directors for July 20, 2011 and August 17, 2011 have been cancelled. The next meeting of the Board of Directors will take place on Wednesday, August 3, 2011.
GREATER VERNON WATER UTILITY - WATER QUALITY ADVISORY - UPDATE 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. Due to increased irrigation demands, additional seasonal water sources have been brought online. These seasonal water sources are only chlorinated before entering the distribution system, resulting in turbidity that at times exceeds 1.0 NTU. GVWU has been actively monitoring the water quality and all bacterial tests have been clear, however 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.

Financial request partially met RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Okanagan Science Centre is getting taxpayers’ funding, but not as much as desired. City council decided to provide the centre with $7,500 for renovation materials and interpretive signs although $30,000 had been requested. “We only have so much money in our grants account,” said Coun. Jack Gilroy of the decision. Coun. Patrick Nicol points out there are significant financial pressures on the city from many groups. “This is a significant amount of money and we’d have liked to have given more,” he said.

Okanagan because the centre provides services to residents of the region.
RDNO denied the request because it does not have the ability to provide grants to community groups. Gilroy is convinced the entire region, and not just Vernon taxpayers, should be supporting the centre. “It’s too bad the regional district doesn’t have a grant function,” he said, adding that there are options for the centre to come up with the remainder of the funds. “They can still individually approach Enderby, Armstrong and the other jurisdictions.” Okanagan Science Centre officials believe the signage and renovations are important for the long-term. “The staff, volunteers and directors

The public is still being urged to rally behind Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Bob Spiers, a Vernon councillor, says it’s important for people to demand that the provincial government complete two shelled-in floors in the new Polson tower so more acute care beds can be opened. “There is a written petition out there available at city hall and people are walking around with them,” he said. A petition can also be found online at www. petitiononlinecanada.com/petition/vjh-purpleribbon-campaign-petition/136. A recent rally in front of the tower drew about 200 people who want the two floors completed. Among those who attended was Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashe MLA. “I really admired the appearance of our local MLA. He had the gonads to show up,” said Spiers. VJH is funded for 148 acute care beds but on average, there are 165 patients daily. Patients are frequently placed in hallways and surgeries have been cancelled because of current conditions.

Good husband’s guide
A
good wife always knows her place. That line, from Housekeeping Monthly’s May 1955 The good wife’s guide, always makes me laugh. It’s the last line in a list of points that every good wife should follow. Everything from greeting him with a cold beverage and dinner on the table when he gets home to remembering that his topics of conversation are more important than yours. Jennifer Smith Here are a few of my favourites: ■ Don’t ask him questions about his actions or question his judgement or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him. (Yes, master.) ■ Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner or other place of entertainment without you. Instead try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax. (Right, I get all the enjoyment and entertainment I need by raising a family and catering to the home.) ■ Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice. (May I rub your back for you too master?) ■ Prepare yourself (and the children). Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. (Because of course, he shall not love you for who you really are.)
AT RANDOM
While us women of today can have a good laugh at these old-school rules, it’s true that our grandmothers and even some of our mothers bode by them as if they were scriptures from the Bible. Obviously, times have changed. Now women are speaking out of turn and making accusations, instead of slaving in the kitchen they’re out for martinis with the girls and I have yet to meet a woman from the 21st century who fluffs her husband’s pillow. So in turn, I present the good husband’s guide: ■ Upon arriving home, take the children from your wife (preferably out of earshot) to give her a much-needed break. ■ If you want dinner, it’s in the freezer – you know how to use the microwave. ■ Compliment your wife on her beauty (even if her hair is tossed up in a bun, she’s still in her pajamas and her legs resemble a woolly mammoth). ■ Wash the children up, read them a story, put them to bed, return four more times to cries for water, another story and teddy. When they are finally asleep, tidy up their toys, do up the dishes, sweep the floors, prepare lunches and start a load of laundry. ■ Once your chores are complete, tend to your wife’s needs by asking if you may rub her back or feet. ■ Never question her or call if she is out with friends or shopping. Remember, she has wrestled children all day and it is your turn to parent. ■ Do not argue her spending habits. You buy beer, she buys shoes. ■ A good husband always knows his place. A little much? I don’t think so.
Obviously questions are going to arise. Why are some Greater Vernon residents being told to boil their water after $29 million was invested in a new Duteau Creek water treatment plant last September? Weren’t residents left with the impression that the need for advisories would virtually disappear? Is there something wrong with the facility? The reality, though, is the plant is complex and leaps and bounds ahead of where we were with treatment. It is going to take time for staff to become familiar with the technology, and this is the first opportunity to deal with the pressures of residential and agriculture irrigation demands during the summer. Operational adjustments will occur through this process, and hopefully that will result in far fewer advisories in the future. However, the Regional District of North Okanagan should be more proactive about making residents aware of the situation. It’s not enough to simply fire off a press release to the media saying turbidity is high because of seasonal water sources and a quality advisory is needed. This does nothing to address the common perception that the treatment plant was supposed to get rid of yellow water. What RDNO needs to do is provide customers with details about the operational process at the plant, either through the media, mail-outs or open houses. And it needs to be in language the average person can understand. If there isn’t more focus on awareness, some residents will be left thinking the $29 million plant is nothing but a white elephant.

Conservatives were only choice
I
n reference to a letter to the editor from Sharon Ramsdale June 10 reflecting her embarrassment and shame after Harper's Conservative party was voted a majority government by the people of Canada: Feel a little disappointed, Sharon, but shame and embarrassment for whom? You feel Harper is intent on dismantling our health care system. It's dismantling itself, it does not need Harper's help. It has become an overfunded, grossly administered mess that totally needs an overhaul. The Canada you want to leave behind is a very different Canada than I hope to leave behind. Over the last 40 years, the left-wing policies of most of the previous administrations provincially and federally have

STREET WISHES To Mathew, writer of a letter in the paper. Careful what you wish for or 25th Street might look like 20th Street between 43rd and 48th Avenues. They spent a lot of time and money on a disaster. The city can call it what they want but it is a street and traffic should be able to go in both directions at the same time. There is a bicycle lane going north (none south) that goes along for a bit, then up on the sidewalk, back down to the street for a bit and then it stops. Both sides have sidewalks wider than needed (students cross where they live or see their friend). Most of the residences along there have nice yards and vegetation and there is the natural beauty of the hills but there are now super-wide ugly planters on both sides. The next thing you hear will be conserve water. The bottom line, on more than one occasion I have had to come to a stop behind vehicles waiting for

mired the country in a sea of debt. The entitlement programs entrenched over that period, along with public service benefits and pensions that have been forced into place, will make it very difficult to reverse this course. Harper's administration is certainly not perfect, but the Conservatives were the only choice if we have any chance of leaving our finances for future generations in any kind of fiscal order. Cutting spending will reflect program cuts which I'm sure will not make those benefiting from them very happy. The waste has to stop now and a lot of Canadians need to find a way of being part of the solution and not part of the problem. Bruce Davies
WATER BOTTLES I just wanted to respond to John Challinor’s letter about water bottles VS fountains in parks and recreational facilities. I absolutely see where you are coming from. As a mother of a special needs daughter and a caregiver that works with children every day, I am always going to the parks for fun and exercise. Whether I am at work or with my daughter, we always bring along our water bottles. We, as most people do, spend a long time outside at the park and soon find our water bottles empty. As of right now, we cannot refill our water bottles because there is nowhere to fill them up, so that means we have to go back even if the fun and games are not over.
EFLECTIONS HAIR & ESTHETICS STUDIO
We always pack our bottles back home or to the centre because there are no recycling bins to put our bottles in, only garbage bins. Eventually all of our bottles end up back at the bottle depot not the dump. But it is a great inconvenience to me and the children I care for that there is no fountains in which to replenish ourselves. I would spend more time taking them more places if I knew there would be no problem in finding water for them so they do not dehydrate. Having a fountain in a park or near a beach for people to replenish themselves using either reusable bottles or plastic ones is a good thing for our environment and us not a bad thing. I try to teach sharing and co-operation to the children I care for. This would be a good example of companies and townships and cities sharing a common goal together. Lisa Patterson VOICE OF REASON Has the prison debate in
Lumby caused some people to lose perspective? We all live in a democracy which allows us a right to hold different opinions. It is not OK to publicly shame and bully people who have an opposing view, whether that is done in council chambers, newspapers or coffee shops. We will all be here when the prison conflict is over. We need voices of reason to point to a positive future. We encourage the greater community to have some public, Lumby pride and rise above the name-calling and bullying that some citizens are currently engaged in. Jo Anne and Paul Fisher ADS MISLEAD As far as the harmonized sales tax is concerned, I am getting quite frustrated by the misleading advertisements we've been seeing. On the keep the HST side (vote no), the fear-mongers are saying that the rate would increase from 10 percent to 12. Now, can you increase a tax that has yet to be decreased? And it's not sup-
posed to be 10 per cent until 2014. On the drop the HST side, some of the ads are saying keep the money in your pocket. The truth is, a lot of items that people would be buying will have exactly the same rate before and after the harmonized sales tax so they would not have any money to put back in the pocket. Mike Topf FALKLAND WANTS BEDS It has come to the attention of the Falkland Community Association that there are not enough beds for the number of patients who must be hospitalized. The people of Falkland feel that the Interior Health Authority should fund more in-patient wards and open more operating rooms in the tower at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Please consider this as many people are being left in the halls and many are being sent home too soon. Falkland Community Association

Councillor wants action on clock tower RICHARD ROLKE
It’s possible the clock hasn’t functioned properly for four years, and Lee believes that is frustrating for residents. “How many times do you want to walk by a clock that doesn’t work? You wouldn’t do it in your own home,” he said. There have been some delays in determining the condition of the clock as an Okanagan-based company that was approached by the city has not been in contact. The city has now approached a Langley business that deals with clocks.

Time is running out for City of Vernon staff to fix the downtown clock tower. On Monday, Coun. Shawn Lee raised the issue of the clock tower — at 32nd Avenue and 31st Street — for the second time within a month and he wants a firm date for staff to present a plan for repairs. “It doesn’t reflect well on the image of the community,” said Lee. The clock was part of Vernon’s 1912 post office, which was demol-
“I hope they will come out in the next week or two to do an assessment and I hope there will be a report to council in August,” said Rob Dickinson, engineering services manager. It’s not known if the clock’s existing components can be repaired or if new mechanisms are required. Cost will likely be the final factor in any work proceeding. “The matter will be referred to the finance committee but I am hopeful we can do something with the clock,” said Lee.

Staff, though, says there is a need to provide a variety of housing types in the city centre. “People do want to live close to services,” said Cleo Corbett, long-range planner, adding that the goal is to attract young families that will fill employment needs as well as sending children to schools. “Because of the small properties, they are more affordable.” Gous pointed out that the business on 31st Street can remain because of existing zoning. “As long as you follow the zoning, that’s what will govern the process,” he said. “It’s only when you ask for a change in the zoning that the official community plan (land use designation) comes in.” Council must still adopt the city centre neighbourhood plan.
Communities in Bloom judges make stop Morning Star Staff
Greater Vernon is preparing for competition. N a t i o n a l Communities in Bloom judges will arrive Monday, and the Vernon Communities in Bloom committee has been busy preparing the final details. “There are so many areas of our city that we are proud of, and we would like to show them all to the judges. However, time is limited,” said Tannis Nelson, with the committee. ‘The sites chosen must reflect our beautiful city as well as highlight the various categories that are part of the Communities in Bloom judging criteria. This year there are six categories: tidiness, environmental action, heritage conservation, urban forestry, landscaped areas and turf, and floral displays.” Taking all of this into
the beautiful floral baskets of our downtown streets, and the wellmaintained neighborhoods through which they will be travelling,” said Nelson. The public is invited to visit these sites.
“Communities in Bloom signs will be posted at each site Sunday, the day before the tour,” said Nelson. “The signs will be left in place for a few days to give you the opportunity to go have a look.”

Police officer pleads not guilty KATHY MICHAELS Black Press
The for mer Armstrong resident charged with assault after being caught on video kicking a suspect in the head was “thrown under the bus” by higher ranking police officials, says his defence lawyer. “Quite frankly I expect more from people of the rank of superintendent and deputy commissioner than to look at 30 to 45 seconds of video and take that as the complete story,” said Const. Geoff Mantler’s lawyer, Neville McDougall, outside the Kelowna courthouse Tuesday afternoon. Minutes earlier, McDougall entered pleas of not guilty for assault charges relating to an Aug. 30, 2010 incident involving Mantler and Majit Singh Bhatti as well as the Buddy Tavares case which took place in Kelowna in January. While little has been made public regarding the Bhatti matter, Mantler became a lightning rod for RCMP criticisms after he was filmed kicking Tavares in the head during an arrest. That footage was posted to YouTube and picked up by national, as well as local, media
sources and became fodder for protests against alleged police brutality. Mantler was suspended from duty Jan. 10, just a few days after the video footage went viral, and in May the RCMP decided to suspend his pay as Crown counsel pursued criminal charges. A code of conduct review is ongoing. “The consensus amongst a lot of (RCMP) members was that Geoff Mantler was thrown under the bus based on public perception and trying to maintain the integrity of the RCMP as a unit as opposed to what he was acting on that day,” said McDougall, pointing out that there was a lot more to the story than the brief video clip could convey. “There’s been a lot of miscommunication as to what the nature of the call was and
what the RCMP were responding to. There’s been no discussion as to supervision provided to these junior members.” The most senior police who went to Harvest Golf Club in response to reports that shots were fired, said McDougall, had just over three years experience. “A lot of things play out in the not guilty
plea, beyond the 30 second videotape,” he said. “Const. Mantler was faced with a situation and he conducted himself in a way he thought was appropriate and whether or not it’s found to be mistaken, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s criminal.” A court date for the Bhatti charge will be set July 19 while the Tavares case won’t be scheduled

Fintry Fair marks parks anniversary JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
The centennial celebration of B.C. Parks is taking a trek out to Fintry Saturday and includes a visit from a special little lady. Fintry Provincial Park, situated on the west shore of Okanagan Lake, marks the 100th anniversary of the province’s parks system with the inaugural Fintry Fair. The full day of family fun includes entertainment, an art raffle, wagon rides, games and face painting, manor house tours and more. The day begins with a pancake breakfast at from 8:30 to 10 a.m., followed by opening ceremonies at 10:30 a.m. Dignitaries on hand include Forests Minister Steve Thomson, MLA Ben Stewart, John Trewitt with B.C. Parks,
“She (Fintry) is beautiful, just like the park.” — Barry Penner Regional District of Central Okanagan chairperson Robert Hobson, West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater, Kelowna Coun. Charlie Hodge and Attorney General Barry Penner. Joined by his wife, Daris, Penner is excited to bring his daughter back to the park which she is named after. “She’s going to give the main presentation, she has lots to say,” laughed Penner of his five-month-old. The former environment minister fell in love with Fintry’s diverse landscape, variety of flora and fauna, beach and waterfall.
“It’s a very unique park and some have described it as B.C.’s Garden of Eden,” said Penner, who along with his wife, is also a former parks ranger. “It’s an oasis in the Okanagan.” So when their daughter was born on Feb. 20, the name Fintry fit well. “We both liked Fintry. It suits her as well – a little bit of everything and she is beautiful just like the park.” The fair will also have a special visit from the laird of Fintry, James Cameron Dun-waters, and his wife Alice (played by local drama
groups). Dun-waters is credited for creating the Garden of Eden in the Okanagan after purchasing the land in the early 1900s and naming it Fintry. The entertainment stage is opened with a barbershop quartet at 10:50 a.m., followed by feature artist Rob Dinwoodie (11:15 a.m., 2 and 3 p.m.), then Fritz and Roy play some classic soft rock at 11:40 a.m. Other entertainers include harpist Holly Smith at 12:30 and 2:30 p.m., Michelle and Roy at 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. There will also be more than $1,000 of art and pottery, donated to the Friends of Fintry, raffled off.

Chrysler vehicles will be on display during Mopars at the Ranch at O’Keefe Ranch Saturday.
Ranch revs up for car show RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
If you’re into Chryslers, then O’Keefe Ranch is the place to be. Mopars at the Ranch rolls into the historic site Saturday, with public viewing from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. “It’s about all Chrysler products and Mopar stands for motor parts,” said Brad Albrecht, with the Okanagan Mopars Car Club. “There’s the muscle cars in the ‘60s and the cars of the 1950s. There’s the body styles and the nostalgia.” The event attracted 71 vehicles in 2010 and it’s hoped there will be similar attendance this year. “The event is for people who enjoy their cars,” said Albrecht. “We have people coming from Washington State, Calgary, Edmonton, the Lower Mainland and of course locally.” Registration begins at 7 p.m. and all Mopar owners are invited to participate. “It can be project vehicle as long as it’s safe and running,” said Albrecht. “It’s free to show your truck or car at the event.” Public admission for Mopars at the Ranch is $6 each or a family rate
“It’s free to show your truck or car.” — Brad Albrecht of $20. For

John Tavares (above left) of the New York Islanders signs a stick for the Five Star Awards Pee Wee Bulldogs’ Cailee Bauml during a visit with the team after a Wednesday ball hockey session at Wesbild Centre. LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
Tavares tries to get past Rankin Smith, of the Special Olympics team, during a friendly game of ball hockey at Wesbild. The NHL star was in town to host a Block Party contest won by the Bulldogs. Check out www.vernonmorningstar. com for a slideshow of Wednesday’s block party.
Tavares wows fans at Wesbild GRAEME CORBETT
Morning Star Staff
John Tavares’ timing on the ice has always been nothing short of impeccable. Ever since he began garnering attention as a 14-year-old rookie sensation with the OHL Oshawa Generals, and now as the leading scoring of the New York Islanders with 67 points in 79 games in his sophomore year, his nose for the net has been uncanny. It turns out his off-ice timing isn’t so bad either. The Oakville, Ont. native was able to combine two events into one trip to the Okanagan this week, celebrating Islander teammate Blake Comeau’s wedding in Kelowna, as well as hosting the John Tavares Block Party Wednesday afternoon at Wesbild Centre. “With the long flight and travel it was easier to do both things together,” said Tavares, who seemed to take a shining to the Okanagan. “It’s beautiful. Blake has talked to me a lot about it and I know a lot of guys that played here, whether it’s in Vernon or in Kelowna, and have moved on to the NHL or other professional leagues. They all seem to come back and spend their summers here.” Vernon’s Liisa Seltzer won the nationwide Block Party contest held by Source for Sports, which brought Tavares, the Islanders’ first overall pick in 2009, to town to play some ball hockey with the Seltzer’s Pee Wee hockey team – the Five Star Awards Bulldogs. Her husband Steve is the coach, while Liisa is the manager. “When I first signed my husband up back in the fall, we
never really thought anything would happen because it’s a nationwide contest,” said Liisa, who entered at Sun Valley Source for Sports. “When we let our team know, they were through the roof. They’ve been waiting an waiting for this. “One of the boys on our team (Kobe Romanovitch), Tavares is his favourite player. Has been since he played junior. When he told his dad, his dad thought he was pulling his leg.” The great thing about the block party is that it morphed into something much bigger than was originally intended. It became a fundraiser for Special Olympics Vernon, with its local athletes, including the Vernon Score Hawks, taking part in the ball hockey session. Tavares has been involved in Special Olympics ever since he was selected by Oshawa in the Bantam draft. “Special Olympics has always been big for me. I was asked to come out to one of the big dinners they do out in Toronto and it became a big hit. Me and Pinball Clemons (Mike, former CFL star) have done a lot of it together,” said Tavares, classy and mature beyond his 20 years. “No matter what kind of mood you go in with, you leave there with a smile on your face. I’m real happy to be around special people like that. “You see all the athletes out there, whether it’s the minor hockey team that won the contest or the Special Olympic athletes, and they’re all having a great time, playing some ball hockey and just enjoying each other’s company.” An estimated 200 people showed up at Wesbild for a chance to meet the rising NHL star and take part in
“Making your home come to life life”
raffle prizes, silent auction and charity barbecue. In total, it raised approximately $2,500. Sponsors included Grillers Meats & Eats, Sweet Caroline’s Bakery, Coopers Foods and Nor-Val Rentals. “It has been so nice to see the sponsors get behind this and the community get behind it. It’s been a great turnout,” said Liisa Seltzer, whose son, Brennan, plays with the Bulldogs and took the opening faceoff with Tavares. Said Brennan: “I never really thought with everybody else from our team here that we’d actually get the chance to play with John Tavares because he’s such a big name in hockey. For him to come to our small town of Vernon from all across Canada was pretty special for us.” Brennan was equally awestruck by the handful of Vernon Vipers – Dave Robinson, Bryce Kakoske, Dylan Walchuk Colton Sparrow, along with James Dobrowolski of the WHL Prince George Cougars – that joined in on the shinny. Looking foward to next season, Tavares believes the Islanders will catch some teams by surprise. With a developing, yet largely unheralded, crop of forwards – including Michael Grabner, Kyle Okposo, Matt Moulsen, PA Parenteau and Josh Bailey – coming into its owns, he has reason to be optimistic. “We’ve got a lot of young guys with a lot of talent and they want to be great NHL players. We’re building towards something and this is a big year for us to take that next big step and push for a playoff spot. “There’s a lot of expectation on Long Island, which I think there should be.”

Outlaws oust United in showdown Morning Star Staff
Little Tex Outlaws used goals by Lyndsay Lee and Monica Neilson to upend firstplace TED United 2-1 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Competitive Division play Tuesday night in Salmon Arm. In a tightly contested game, the Tex crew got great defensive efforts from Jordan Mercer, Stacey Cover and Kate Welch to limit United’s scoring chances. Giniel Ferrier was outstanding in net, making many great saves to keep 7-3-1 Outlaws in the game. Lee buried a penalty after she was taken down in the 18, and Neilson took a nice through ball from Elaina Huisken. Lee and Lori Phillips were strong in the middle, creating many scoring opportunities. TED fell to 7-2-2. In the other Competitive Tuesdaynighter, Dr. Lee Dental/Checkers welcomed back Kim Teichman and Madison Kaneda from injuries, and proceeded to roll the AF Blazers 8-0 on Marshall #2. A pair of goals from Andi King, followed by a single from Kirsten Dodds on a great individual run made it 3-0 at the half. Stephanie Wilson, also on a solo effort, made it 4-0 early in the second half, while King completed the hat trick on an assist by Becky Dodds, as the floss crew improved to 7-3. Blazers are 1-6-3. King, with husband Jarrett watching one of his rare games, set up Kirsten Dodds for another strike. Becky Dodds from Alanna Rehman, and Rehman from Becky Dodds completed the onslaught. Lisa Arrotta earned the shutout. In Masters Division action Tuesday night,
Okanagan Impact earned a 2-1 comeback win, handing first-place Setter’s Pub their first loss of the season on Marshall #3. Trailing 1-0 at halftime, Impact (8-32) came alive in the second half with goals from Heather Findlay and Minda Chittenden on a penalty shot. Impact are riding an eight-game undefeated streak, with a single tie in that span. The pub crew is 9-1-3. Vernon Square Liquor Store North Okanagan United opened with a Carla Gibson penalty shot strike and never looked back in a 4-0 rout of Shuswap Kaos on Marshall #1. Lena Dean, scoring once on a breakaway and again with traffic in front of the net, made it 3-0. Gibson and Cheryl Roddis worked a corner kick set piece, with Gibson taking a back pass and sending a Bend it Like Beckham blast to the far upper corner to complete the scoring. Dar Wiese earned the shutout as NOU improved to 5-7-1. Kaos are 1-9-2. Roddis earned Game MVP for her constant sprints up and down the field, and for setting up numerous attacks at the net. Vernon Chick Kickers took rookie Season Sistas to school in a 9-0 shellacking Tuesday at Marshall Field #5. The Chicks, now 10-2-1, were led by the strong defensive line of Nadine Krywonos, Marilynn Vanderdeen, Wendy Martens, Wendy Magnus and Bridget Grant. Tania Sladen and Kelly Challen led the assault with two goals each, as the Chicks have been playing superb soccer lately with lots of team energy. The Sistas 1-10-1, generated a few

Shamrocks force Game 3 Morning Star Staff
Their choice was simple – lose and call it a season, or win and earn a chance to advance to the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League finals. The Armstrong Shamrocks did the latter, icing the host Kamloops Venom 4-2 in Game 2 of their best-of-three semifinal series Wednesday night at Memorial Arena. “It was a really good game,” said Irish head coach Pat Nelson. “We really tried to get the intensity picked back up and focus on our systems. We’re happy to be bringing this back home for Game 3 (Saturday night, 7:30 p.m. at Nor-Val Sports Centre).” Sensing the desperation of their situation, the Shamrocks raced out to a 3-0 first-period lead on goals by Brett Hawrys (2) and Joel Castle.
After allowing the Venom back in the game by surrendering two goals in the second frame, Armstrong put it away on Hawry’s hat trick marker in the third. Owen Barker played the setup role to perfection, earning three helpers. “They were aware of where we’re at,” added Nelson. “Our defence really stepped up, we played as a team and really supported each other. “Quinn (Braybrook, 38 saves) was solid in net and held us in there.” In the other TOJLL semifinal, the Vernon Tigers and Kelowna Raiders squared off in Game 3 Thursday night in Kelowna. The winners of the two series will meet in the finals (dates to be determined).
Kozak swings B.C. Amateur ace Morning Star Staff
Conner Kozak’s hole-in-one on the 15th was the lone bright spot of his opening round at the 109th annual B.C. Amateur Golf Championships Tuesday at The Dunes in Kamloops. Kozak, a member of the Spallumcheen Golf & Country Club who earned third place at the B.C. juniors last week in Trail, finished the day with a 4-over par 76. He recovered with subsequent rounds of 71-70 to sit tied for 42nd at 1-over heading into today’s final round. Richard Jung of Toronto sat atop the leaderboard at 12-under. After opening rounds 67 and
69, Jung, who received a presidential exemption to play in the event, carded a front nine 32 (as of The Morning Star’s Thursday deadline). Victoria’s Kevin Carrigan was second at 10-under with 68-70, and a front nine 32. Justin Wurz of the Vernon Golf & Country Club, shot 72-75-73 to join a group of four tied for 58th at 4-over. Coldstream’s David Szestopalow (Predator Ridge) squeaked under the cut with rounds of 76-71-77. Brady Stead and Brad Jones, both with the Spall club, missed the cut.

Vipers sign Shaw Good thing Vernon Vipers’ head coach Jason Williamson doesn’t hold a grudge. Among the pile of applications for the vacant assistant coaching job with the Snakes this season was one from Chris Shaw, who Williamson knows all too well from his days as a hard-nosed forward and captain of the Vipers in the B.C. Hockey League. “We’re the same age (30) so we played in the league together and we actually fought once,” recalled Williamson, as he discussed Shaw’s appointment to the assistant’s position Tuesday afternoon. The duo were recruited by the NCAA Division 1 Niagara Purple Eagles in their 20-year-old BCHL seasons, and have since become good friends. Williamson stayed in Niagara to secure a business degree, while Shaw, who was coach/GM of the KIJHL Nelson Leafs last season, went on to play six seasons of minor pro across North America in the ECHL, CHL and UHL. Much like the relationship he and former Viper head coach Mark Ferner developed over the last four seasons, Williamson says he shares a similar mind-set with Shaw.
“You have to trust someone who works with you and Chris and I already have a good relationship,” said Williamson. Regarding their junior tilt, Shaw grinned: “I was a defencman with the Burnaby Bulldogs and he was a forward for the Vipers. We were both similar players, played similar roles, both captains of our team. “We share very similar philosophies, we played the game the same way and we know what it’s like being players recently.” Shaw, a White Rock native, says he likely wouldn’t have considered an assistant coaching job in the BCHL, but when he learned of the vacancy in Vernon, combined with Williamson’s promotion to head coach, it was a “no-brainer.” “I couldn’t be more excited. Ever since I started coaching I’ve always wanted to progress and move to the best possible spot.” Shaw, who has previous coaching experience with the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, KIJHL Penticton Lakers and the Okanagan Hockey Academy, piloted the Leafs to a 25-22-0-3 record in 20010-11. Nelson pushed the Beaver Valley Nitehawks to Game 7, falling in the first round of the KIJHL playoffs.

Canadians bury Rockies in tripleheader Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Canadians swept the Rutland Rockies in a Mosquito A minor baseball tripleheader last weekend. The Canadians opened by outlasting the host Rockies 14-13 at Edith Gay Park in Rutland Saturday morning. The first inning saw the Canadians reach their four-run max. On the field, catcher Chase Batchelor and third baseman Ryan Gamage executed a hot box to out a runner. Vernon’s Caden Colmorgen continued his solid pitching, throwing three strikeouts in the second. Eric Foufoulas worked the third and fourth innings, fanning two and adding an RBI of his own at bat. Carter Morris ignited the Canadian
attack in the fourth innning with an RBI double, followed by an RBI single by Colmorgen. Strong in-fielding by Batchelor and Kamrin Lubbers, combined with solid pitching by Gamage and Morris, kept the Rockies at bay. In their afternoon game in Rutland, Maguire Lauridsen cranked a first-inning home run as Vernon crushed Rutland 13-5. Lauridsen added two ribbies in the second, followed by doubles in the fourth and fifth to lead the Canucks at the plate. Batchelor’s two-base bunt brought home Gamage, and an RBI by Eric Noren saw Foufoulas cross the plate. Morris showed a smart glove with a
pop-fly tag at first base for a double out, and a great outfield catch by Foufoulas kept the Canadians ahead. Vernon completed the sweep with a 7-5 win Sunday morning at Lakeview Park. Lauridsen stole the show, throwing a pair of strikeouts in the first, and chalking up another homer. He continued his tear in the second with a nice throw for an out at first, followed by two more strikeouts and an over-the-fence double RBI to bring Tyler Sedlacek across the plate. The Stevie Schols and Batchelor provided solid pitching relief in the fourth and fifth innings, while Lauridsen’s single in the fifth, followed by some great base stealing, helped clinch the win.

Wills foursome collects Pro-Am crown Morning Star Staff
It was a rise to the top of the leaderboard for Jeff Wills. The pro from Vernon’s The Rise Golf Club and his team of Mun Bagri, Bobby Milacic and Tim Bolton ran away with the team portion of the 2011 Rotary Pro-Am golf event at the Vernon Golf and Country Club, finishing with a 112 score in the two-best net format. The foursome finished 13 shots ahead of teams captained by Kelowna pros Josh Fleming and Jon Kadin, both of Gallagher’s Canyon. Wills, who shot a 2-over 74, pocketed $400 for guiding his team to victory, while the three amateurs won Scotty Cameron putters. Fleming, who had the low round for the pros, a 5-under 67, collected $300 while his teammates won Cobra S3 drivers. Kadin’s team ended up third, giving the pro $200 and
his teammates Hollas outfits. Teams finishing second through 10th were separated by only two shots. Justin Baillargeon of the host club, and his quartet of Ray Allen, Dave Murison and Jim Chapman, was part of five groups that finished at 127. Baillargeon’s squad, which finished seventh overall, won Nike Method putters. Hillview’s Keith Vandenbrink and his team of Jim Atmore, Jon Atmore and Gary Hinken, were ninth and won Cobra Baffler Rail Hs. Predator Ridge pro Scott Allen and teammates Brent Allen, Larry Ferguson and Ken Kurbis were 10th and collected a dozen Pro V1 balls and Titleist hats. Fleming’s 67 was good for $1,500 among the pro payouts. He finished four shots ahead of Kelowna Golf and Country pro Rob Anderson, who collected $1,200. Vernon’s Cec Ferguson was among a pack of four who
fired even-par 72s, good for $850. Wills’ 74 was good for a tie for seventh and $550. Vandenbrink fired a 3-over 75, same as former Vernon pro Jesse Crowe of Canoe Creek in Salmon Arm. Each pocketed $233. Wills won the long drive in the team skill competition, helping his team collect Cleveland CG15 wedges. Kurbis was first in the individual putting competition and won a Ping Hoofer C-1 carry bag. Al Scott, Randy Dow, Dick Rosman and Arnold Soloway won KP prizes. Meanwhile, Vandenbrink has been on a roll in other Okanagan pro-am action in the last week. After carding a par 72 under rainy, windy conditions to collect the $1,000 first-place purse at the Revelstoke Pro-Am last Friday, the Hillview pro fired a 4-under 68 to record another title, and another $1,000, at the Gallagher’s Canyon Pro-Am Wednesday.

Austin Jones netted the winner as Concept Physio unlocked Turn-Key Controls 2-1 in North Okangan Men’s Soccer League play Wednesday night on Marshal Field #4. The first half ended scoreless, punctuated by some excellent saves at both ends. Enzo Paal opened the scoring for Concept Physio (4-7) on a great counterattack after a solid scoring chance by Turn-Key (5-6-1). Minutes later, Jones converted to make it 2-0 on some good work on the goal line. The Controls answered when defender Sean Bonnett lobbed a moonshot in from 40 yards out that eluded the Concept defence. Turn-Key pressured hard for the final 25 minutes, but couldn’t find the net for the equalizer. Great chances by Evan Moore and Rob McGloin were turned away by the Physio defence. Nation of Domination Eagle Homes used a diving header by Dave Knight in the 81st minute to clip league-leading North Enderby Timber 1-0 Wednesday in Salmon Arm. Both teams failed to capitalize throughout the game. Rain came down in buckets for the first half. NOD improved to 6-4, while NET dipped to 9-2-1. Devon Marriott, David Dobernigg, Jay Aarsen, Darren Nobrega and Alberto Lopez got in on the offence as Monashee Surveying slammed the Salmon Arm Outlaws 9-1 at Marshall #2.

The RBC GranFondo Kelowna cycling event takes place Saturday and that means temporary traffic changes in Vernon and Lake Country. Riders will cross the start line at 7 a.m. in Kelowna, heading north towards Lake Country with views of Okanagan Lake. After climbing to Predator Ridge, riders pass through Vernon, where the Medio starts at 9 a.m. Next, riders venture southbound on Highway 97 past Kalamalka and Wood lakes and through Oyama and Winfield . The race wraps up in downtown Kelowna. Expected hours of peak traffic impact are as follows: Carrs Landing Road: 7:30 to 9 a.m. - Commonage Road: 8 to 10 a.m. - Vernon: 8 to 11 a.m. - Highway 97 to Oyama: 8:30 a.m. to 12 noon - Oyama Road: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Spectators are not permitted to stop on the roadways that make up the course, but are encouraged to use various viewing areas. The following locations are suggested spectator areas: - 8:30 a.m.: Just over halfway for the GranFondo riders and the start of the Medio at Vernon Army Camp. - 9:15 a.m.: Close to the 95-kilometre mark, spectators can watch the cyclists go by at George Elliot Secondary School on Bottom Wood Lake Road in Lake Country.

Democracy In action
O
n July 1, about 200 dedicated people celebrated Canada Day a little differently. Instead of taking some time to themselves, they decided to help keep attention focused on one of the North Okanagan’s most pressing issues. They came down to Vernon Jubilee Hospital for a rally – a peaceful and positive rally – to repeat their demand for changes at the hospital, which has faced overcrowding issues. Some people said they were surprised to see me there. They might have been even more surprised to hear me say I thought the rally was fantastic. As I told a Eric Foster reporter, I thought the rally was democracy in action. Seeing this level of engagement and community spirit, I was never more proud to represent Vernon-Monashee. Peaceful demonstrations are a great way for a community to show its support and enthusiasm for a cause. If addressing overcrowding at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital isn’t a cause worth rallying around, I don’t know what is. Whether by phone, e-mail, or in person, people tell me every day this is their top issue and foremost concern. It’s mine, too. I’ve said that since I was first elected to the Legislature. That’s why I’ve been working with my colleagues in Victoria to resolve this issue, especially in the Ministry of Health. I’ve met with officials, with Health Minister Mike de Jong, and most recently with Premier Christy Clark – all to bring attention and advocate for this issue, and make sure they know this continues to be my top personal priority. I can tell you they share your concerns and are working to address the situation.
MLA REPORT
Mosquito Control and West Nile Virus Information Session
Actions and results speak louder than words, I know. Can I give you a time when the overcrowding will stop? Not yet. But to be fair, the province hasn’t exactly stood still on the issue, either, including a $180-million investment into a new patient care tower, which incorporates an expanded emergency room. This isn’t a perfect solution, but hopefully will help until we can find one. I’m working hard in Victoria to make sure Vernon Jubilee Hospital is at the top of the health minister and premier’s priority lists. In the meantime, I know the people of VernonMonashee will continue to let their elected officials – including their MLA – know they expect no less. Visit Eric’s website at www.ericfostermla.bc.ca

More than half of all B.C. Provincial Court cases have been stuck in the system for at least a year and a growing number are at risk of being thrown out as a result. Those are among the findings of a new update to the B.C. Provincial Court’s Justice Delayed report, which originally warned of serious delays in the system last fall. The update shows there were 2,371 adult criminal cases before the courts for more than 18 months as of March 31– a 16 per cent increase from 2,038 a year earlier. Criminal cases 12 to 18 months old climbed 18 per cent over the same period from 4,856 to 5,744. Together, the two categories make up just over half of the court’s entire caseload. Judges are bound by Supreme Court of Canada rulings on how long cases can drag on and trials are being quashed over unacceptable delays of as little as 14 months, depending on the circumstances. The average delay across B.C. for a two-day criminal trial in March was 10.6 months, slightly worse than nine months earlier, although the stats show some improvement in the waits for child protection hearings, small claims trials and family law trials. But the numbers vary considerably depending on the court house. Surrey remains the worst for adult criminal cases, with a 16-month wait for a two-day trial. Fort St. John, Chilliwack, Terrace, Vancouver (Main Street), Kelowna and Vernon were all booking two-day criminal trials at least 13 months away. The longest delays for child protection hearings (13 to 15 months) were in Cranbrook, Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Terrace, while delays of 14 to 15 months were being recorded for family trials in Fort St. John, Cranbrook, Abbotsford and Chilliwack. The original report recommended B.C. move to restore the number of Provincial Court judges from 126.3 full-time equivalents (FTEs) in September 2010 to the 2005 level of 143.6. While a few new judges have been hired since the initial report, others have retired, been promoted to B.C. Supreme Court or opted to start to cut their hours to part-time. As a result, the number of judges is now 125.1 FTEs as of the end of June, about 15 per cent fewer than in 2005 despite more cases of greater complexity. The province passed a budget this spring requiring further cuts to court staffing.

Find your “qi” in nature at Saturday’s Caetani Art Market Morning Star Staff
The trees are green with foliage providing shaded areas for the studio artists who are busy getting ready for the next Caetani Art Market. Open Saturday, the market will once again be held in the gardens and grounds of the Ceatani Cultural Centre (former home to late artist Sveva Caeatni.) The theme of this market is nature’s elements, said Caetani centre executive director Judy Katalinic. “The artists at the Caetani Centre are all passionate about the environment and that often comes across in their work, which is why we decided to give our July market the natures elements theme,” said Katalinic. The outdoor market will feature talented local artists such as potter Laurel Fredin, who will be setting up shop on the front deck of the house, and landscape painter Terry Greenhough.

Aussie says ‘g-day’ from WA She’s from the opposite side of the world, but Western Australia artist Toby Beard feels more at home in Canada than any other place she’s toured. Described as ‘“energetic, raw and feisty” on stage, Beard, billed simply as Toby, is in the North Okanagan this week to perform a show at the Armstrong Inn, and returns the area later in August. “I am totally in love with Canada, and am always excited when I get to go back,” said Toby, who is touring to promote her new album Sleeptalk and a DVD called Good Old Days. “Each time I perform in Canada, the fan base slowly builds. I would be very, very happy to play there a whole lot more.” Toby is touring with upright bass player Robin Murray from Perth, saxophonist Jeremy Trezona from Perth, and Winnipegger Ivan Burke on drums. A Perth-born artist herself, Toby recorded her latest album in San Francisco, Calif., working with co-producer Carey Williams. They met when Toby played alongside Etta James (managed by Carey) at a festival in Milwaukee in 2009. This is Toby’s fourth full-length album and is the culmination of years of touring endlessly throughout Australia, four tours to Europe, eight
there with many songs about the environment, to capture their interest of the Earth and nature. “Kids will love Kiki’s face painting depicting animals and nature’s elements and find her passion about the environment infectious,”
said Katalinic. Other studio artists partaking in the market include Mereille Gourlay, who works in the Joan Heriot studio, blending bamboo fibre with merino wool and silk to create luxurious hand-felted wearable art. Visitors can also meet the Caetani centre’s artist-in-residence James Postill, who is currently working with milk paint and natural pigments to create a weather durable fresco finish to the centre’s Straw Bale studio. Four other artists will join Gourlay and Postill to open their studios for the art market. Caetani resident and artist Ryan Robson is mounting an All Arts On Deck exhibition on the front deck of the house that will feature works by all of the Caetani artists, including sculptor Sandra DeVries and painters David Goodliffe,
Colleen Couves and Angela Broad. “Music will drift through the courtyard café and around the grounds to complete a fun and relaxing experience among nature’s elements in the Caetani gardens,” said Katalinic. The Caetani Art

beautifully describes, a “dips*@# cokehead.” And scene-stealing Charlie Day (It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia) is a dental assistant harassed by his sex-crazed maneater-of-a-tooth puller, the shockingly foul-mouthed Aniston. One night, after some griping and cocktails, the boys decide to hire a hitman (Jamie Foxx, playing a character with such a foul handle, I can’t even drop a hint on it.) After dropping some big time coin on the assassin’s services, the trio discover that their hired gun won’t actually commit the murders, but he will offer advice on how to pull them off and
how to avoid being tagged for the crimes. Cue absolute chaos.... NOW. Predictable, yes. But Horrible Bosses is a wonderful surprise in that director Seth Gordon doesn’t drench his picture in uncomfortable raunch (a la The Hangover Part II). Come to think of it, Horrible Bosses isn’t really that raunchy, it’s just really, really mean. And you’ve gotta love any movie in which the entire cast seems so happy just to be there. Because, let’s face it, when was the last time Jennifer Aniston looked happy to be anywhere? The feature is currently playing at Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

here are guilty pleasures, and then there’s Horrible Bosses, a film as irresistibly funny as it is helplessly ruthless. Laughing at some of what transpires in this movie is so, so wrong, yet so, so unavoidable. Think Office Space, then turn up the nasty crank to red line and you’re beginning to understand the dark side, or, if you’re in the right mood, the appeal of this comedy. Jason Armstrong It’s a strange animal, really. There are so many things about Horrible Bosses that just aren’t new (Jason Bateman, Kevin Spacey and Jason Sudeikis are all playing characters they’ve played in other movies), mingled with so many fresh turns (Jennifer Aniston and Colin Farrell absolutely rock by strutting into unfamiliar territory, the latter to such a point that he’s darn near unrecognizable) that the slam dance of stale and familiar goes just right with the sadistically screwball romp. We’ve seen this sort of thing so many times, but never quite as ambitious a presentation as this. The plot has three buddies, all being terrorized (as the title suggests) by horrible bosses. Bateman, a kiss-butt corporate man, is mentally abused with false promises of a big promotion by manipulative psycho, Spacey (in full blown Swimming With Sharks mode). Sudeikis, an amiable-yet-womanizing blue collar troop, is forced to comply with Farrell, playing, as the film itself so

Vertigo needs artists for Almost Famous Morning Star Staff
A few pieces of art have started to arrive for Gallery Vertigo’s annual Almost Famous exhibition and auction. However, more replicas of famous works are needed for the gallery’s main fundraiser of the year. “Works in all mediums are welcome. Time is growing short. We need your entries by July 23 for the exhibition, or by August 20 for the auction only,” said Allison Griswold, Vertigo’s new Almost Famous chairperson. The gallery is also working on securing a new venue for this year’s auction. “Our own gallery space has grown too small for this event

Vintage BMWs sure to impress CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
The convoy of BMWs, some dating back to the 1930s, is sure to attract attention wherever it goes. The more than 30 cars taking part in the BMW Vintage Car and Classic Car Club Expedition 2011 will come from as far away as England, Germany, Texas and Florida and across Canada. The owners and cars (some shipped from Europe) assemble in Vancouver, drive Vancouver Island, take the ferry to Prince Rupert, then on through Jasper and back to Vancouver via southern B.C. and Whistler. They stop in Vernon Wednesday after a day of driving from Nelson. "I'm really looking forward to seeing them, what the owners have done to them and how they run. I'd love to be on that trip," said Gerald Stoll, of Vernon, a member of the BMW Car club of North America and owner of a 1976 BMW Model 2002. Stoll liked the car as soon as he saw it but he had to think long and hard about buying one in 1977 when it cost $9,000, the same as a Cadillac. "I've had a lot of pleasure from it. I drove it for 15 years then parked it for 10 years, which was not a good thing. As the year 2002 loomed, everyone who had one of those cars wanted to get them fixed up. You can still get all the parts if you have the patience; restoration just doesn't happen," he said. "This car is fun to drive, like a little sports car. This was the first BMW sedan in North America. There are still quite a few of them around, about a dozen in this area that I know of." Stoll plans to do more restoration
CARA BRADY/MORNING STAR
Gerald Stollen and his 1976 BMW Model 2002 will be out as the BMW Vintage and Classic Car Club of America Expedition 2011 makes a stop in Vernon. Bimmer aficionados are invited to see the cars and meet the owners the evening of Wednesday and Thursday at the Prestige Inn. and get B.C. collector plates for the car and drive it more, maybe taking part in the BMW Vintage and Classic Car Club Expedition in years to come. The expedition is to a different part of North America
each year. "I like taking the car out and having people come by and look at it and enjoy it and re-live their youth. There is pride of ownership in a job well done and in saving
the car. The car has a distinctive turbine whine. It sings on the highway," he said. The public is welcome to see the cars at the Prestige Inn from 4:30 to 5 p.m. Wednesday and 9 to 9:30 a.m. Thursday.
Dementia sufferers and their families have support Morning Star Staff
The Alzheimer Society of B.C. would like Vernon residents to know that their programs and services for people on the dementia journey continue to be available to them. “The society is stronger than ever in the Okanagan region,” said Jean Blake, CEO of the society. In fact, thanks to $1 million funding from the Ministry of Health Services last September, the society has been able to offer expanded services in six areas of the province, including the North Okanagan. Families on the dementia journey now have access to new programs including Minds in Motion and First Link.
This is Brittany...
Minds in Motion is a fitness and social program for people experiencing early-stage memory loss, due to Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia, and their care partners. The program promotes the concept of healthy living and the establishment of support networks early on. There are two Minds in Motion locations in the Okanagan, one in Kelowna and one in Vernon. First Link is an early intervention service designed to connect individuals and families affected by Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia with services and support as soon as possible after diagnosis. Formal referral from physicians and health professionals allows for proactive contact with individuals
and families. “It means we’re able to proactively reach out to individuals who have recently been diagnosed with the disease, provide support sooner to them and their caregivers, and better prepare and support them through their journey with the disease,” said North Okanagan First Link co-ordinator Phyllis Dyck. The Alzheimer Society of B.C. provides services throughout the Okanagan through several resource centres. The Alzheimer Society of B.C. is the only province-wide organization providing support, education, and information about Alzheimer’s disease and related demen-
tias through support groups, education programs, telephone workshops, and the Dementia Helpline toll-free province-wide at 1-800-936-6033. The society serves Vernon residents at its Alzheimer Resource Centre, found within the historic Knowles House at 865 Bernard Ave. in Kelowna and can be reached at 250860-0305 or toll-free at 1-800-634-3399. In addition to Minds in Motion and First Link, the resource centre has support groups and education programs for both family caregivers and people with early stage dementia. Learn more about the Alzheimer Society of B.C., at www.alzheimerbc.org.

Bad marriages test sibling relations
D
ear Annie: I work in a family business along with my parents, my brother and my sister. Two years ago, my brother’s wife and my sister’s husband also worked there, but they had an affair and moved away together. Three months later, they both returned to their spouses. Their marriages are reconciled, but they are not allowed back in the family business. I refuse to attend any event that includes the two of them. I am so upset about what they did to my family that I will not speak to either of them. The problem is, my sister is constantly telling me that I have to accept her husband and stop being so stubborn. I keep telling her what they did is not acceptable and I do not have to be around either one of

Dear S.: While joining organizations can lead to romance, that should not be your main focus. The point is to be involved in activities that you enjoy and where you can meet others who share your interests. It’s a way to make friends and lead a full life. Romance would be a bonus. We don’t know why you haven’t been able to find what you are searching for, but if you have been helping your community and staying active, you haven’t been wasting your time. Dear Annie: I’m writing in response to the letter from “Trying To Keep the Peace,” who was criticized for posting information about her grandfather’s death on Facebook. She doesn’t mention how long she waited before putting that online. We recently had a similar situation. A
READY TO SIGN
relative passed away late in the evening, and due to the hour, the decision was made to wait until morning to notify family members. But one relative posted the information on their Facebook page that same evening, and several close family members were upset when they saw the posting before we had a chance to call. “Trying” defends the posting by saying that obituaries are published in the local newspaper, but this is done after those closest to the deceased have already been notified. Perhaps a good policy would be to delay posting a death notice on any website for, say, 12 to 24 hours out of respect for the family, allowing them to come to grips with their loss and gently inform their loved ones personally. It was heartbreak-
ing enough to deal with our loss without also having to deal with the fallout from family members finding out about it online. — Also Trying To Keep the Peace Please e-mail your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 5777 W.

Cook carefully this summer

Make sure food is cooked all the way through by cutting it and checking to ensure the meat is no longer pink; better yet, use a meat thermometer. Food is cooked when the temperature reaches 77 Celsius. Once cooked, keep hot foods hot (60 Celsius) and do not cook more food than necessary. Eat cooked food right away, or put it in a refrigerator.
to be sure that food is cooked properly and most people can’t tell that it has been precooked. Rose Soneff, is a Community Nutritionist with Interior Health.

HEALTH MATTERS
On the flip side, keep cold foods cold (less than 4 Celsius) by placing food in a refrigerator or on ice in a cooler as soon as you can. Keep fresh foods, including salads and any dressing, cold until ready to eat. Thaw frozen meats before use in a refrigerator or an insulated cooler and keep cold until used. Keep raw and cooked food separated at all times, preferably at opposite ends of the barbecue. Use separate utensils and platters for raw and cooked food. Wash all utensils, cutting boards and counters with hot soapy water and use a bleachrinse of one ounce of bleach per four litres of water to prevent the bacteria in raw meats from contaminating other foods. My favourite trick to reduce the risk of under-cooked food is to pre-cook plain or marinated meat in advance and then finish it off on the barbecue. This allows me

ell it’s that time of year again for cooking outdoors in parks, campgrounds and back yards. This pleasurable summer pastime of casual dining also provides ideal conditions for outbreaks of foodborne illness. Foodborne illness peaks during the months of May through September because of barbecues and outdoor eating. E. coli, salmonella and campylobacter are among the bacteria related to handling raw meats and other perishable food items. That’s why it’s vital to be sure items are refrigerated, well cooked and handled with care. Washing your hands is one of the most important things you can do to prevent food borne illness - even when not using a barbecue. Always wash your hands thoroughly before preparing and handling any foods destined for the barbecue and whenever switching from handling raw

Cuts hinder coroners duties Black Press
JEFF NAGEL
Budget cuts are hampering the B.C. Coroners Service’s ability to more broadly investigate deaths and find ways to prevent them, B.C. Auditor-General John Doyle has concluded. His audit found the service is meeting its basic duties but could do much more within the scope of the Coroners Act.

“A declining budget, coupled with escalating investigation expenses, are negatively impacting the quality of service,” Doyle found. “This has the potential for more significant long-term repercussions.” The service’s budget was cut from $15 million to $13 million this year.

The provincial government won’t soften its 10-month-old roadside administrative penalties for impaired driving, citing a 50-per-cent drop in drunk driving deaths since the rules took effect. Nor will it embark on a public information campaign previously pledged to help revelers decide how much they can drink before they might exceed the lower blood-alcohol limit of 0.05 if caught behind the wheel. “Half the number of people have died on the roads as a result of drunk driving based on the statistics we see,” Premier Christy Clark told reporters Monday. Preliminary numbers show 30 deaths in alcoholrelated crashes in the first seven months of the new regulations, down from an average of 61 fatalities in the same October-to-April period of the previous five years. Police credit the new regulations – with the threat of stiff fines and car impoundments – for the improved driving safety record. Police can now impose an immediate penalty on any driver who blows in the “warn” range between 0.05 and 0.08. Instead of issuing a 24-hour suspension or a formal impaired charge, police can impose a 90-day driving ban, a $500 fine and impound the vehicle for 30 days, with the owner on the hook for the towing and storage charges. Former Public Safety Minister Rich Coleman had promised a review of the new rules late last year after the bar and restaurant industry complained of lost business because patrons were drinking less. He had indicated that might lead to an appeal period where drivers caught by police could lodge challenges before the penalties are applied. But no such legislation was tabled this spring. B.C. Restaurant and Foodservice Association president Ian Tostenson said his members now accept that the rules are here to stay. “When the theme of Families First came through from the premier, it was pretty obvious that no one in their right mind was going to say families are important – and by the way, we’re going to loosen up on the impaired driving penalties,” he said. Business was down much more steeply in the immediate months after the change, he said. Now, he said, the worst-hit businesses are down perhaps 10 to 12 per cent from before the change, possibly as patrons understand the rules and make alternate arrangements for transportation. He said it’s also difficult to say how much of the losses stem not from the drunk driving penalties but from consumers’ reluctance to spend due to the sluggish economy or the imposition of the harmonized sales tax. “I think we just have to adapt and find ways to make it work,” Tostenson said. “We wish it hadn’t happened. But it’s here and let’s make the best of it.” Attorney General Barry Penner is also counting on the policy change to help decongest B.C.’s crowded courts. The shift to police-imposed roadside penalties – dubbed by some defence lawyers as an effective decriminalization of impaired driving – means most of those incidents now no longer go into the court system. Penner previously called it a side benefit of the change that should help cut the backlog in the criminal courts. While those punished under the administrative system and not the courts pay a high price up front, they avoid possible court sanctions, including a criminal record, a possible one-year Canada-wide driving ban as well as potential jail time.
Since tougher penalties for impaired drivers were put into effect there has been a 50 per cent drop in drunk driving deaths, therefore the B.C. government is keeping the new rules in place.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to test out your ingenious ideas on those with whom youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re involved. Even if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comprehend your schemes or understand what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll applaud the results. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll handle a unique situation so quickly and intelligently, you could garner much more profit from it than was expected. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if others pirate your methods. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Talk to a valuable contact who is reluctant to agree with you on an issue that is of some significance. Once he or she hears it from your mouth, chances are this person will concur. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Go ahead and put into practice some of those ideas swirling around in your head on how to do something better. What you devise will make things much easier. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Someone you recently met whom you are eager to get to know better might try to contact you. Be sure to leave word where, when and how you can be reached. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Some kind of adjustments that could work in your favor are being made concerning a financial arrangement that has been hanging fire for quite some time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be happy news. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Be on your toes, because a fast change in direction could take place involving
a personal endeavor. The new route could open up a whole new world of opportunity for you.
Watch for our High Tea event â&#x20AC;Ś coming soon!
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow any kind of pressure to cause you to act prematurely regarding a material matter in which youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re involved. Time is your ally.

Rayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Special of the Week
ARIES (March 21-April 19) No other sign is as lucky as you for getting others to do things that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time to do for yourself. Today might offer a perfect example of this in action. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) When you least expect it, a restriction that has been inhibiting your progress will suddenly be lifted as if by magic. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll finally be able to operate as freely as you desire. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Much to your surprise, an event youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been dreading going to could turn out to be an extremely stimulating and pleasant experience. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be happy you were obligated to attend.
HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot ďŹ&#x201A;ashes 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 A low partscore; high-level defense King Charles I, who ruled England, Ireland and Scotland for nearly 24 years, said, “Never make a defense or an apology until you are accused.” At the bridge table, never make a defense until you have worked through the various options. In this tough deal, you are West, defending against two spades. What would you lead? What do you think of the auction? Starting with the bidding, North was right to respond two spades despite his strong clubs. East wanted to act, but his hand was a tad too light for a competitive double, which would have shown the red suits. South did well not to try for game, because
North had a very unsuitable hand. And many players with your cards would have rebid three clubs. Here, though, North would have doubled and probably collected a 200-point penalty. For the opening lead, consider all four suits. Against a trump contract, do not lead from a suit headed by the ace without the king. So scratch off the minors. A trump lead is unlikely to be killing. That leaves the heart queen. The first trick goes heart queen, four, 10, two. What next? Since you won the trick, partner is marked with the heart ace and king. That gives you five winners: three hearts and both minor-suit aces. But where is trick six? The answer would not
occur to many. It is a diamond ruff! Cash the diamond ace before leading your second heart. Then, on the third heart, discard your diamond jack. Partner should then lead a diamond, which you will trump. Finally, you will cash the club ace to defeat the contract.
