Vernon refutes power trip claim RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The City of Vernon denies it will be a bully if it gains another vote on parks and recreation issues. Governance continues to remain a stumbling block in resolving the dispute over Greater Vernon’s parks and recreation function. Coldstream and the electoral areas are concerned the city will dominate if the 2011 census leads to expanded voting strength. However, Vernon Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe says that while the city favours representationby-population, that doesn’t mean co-operation would end. “I don’t believe Vernon would vote negatively to punish the outlying areas,” she said during a service review meeting Monday. “I’ve seen more block voting from the other areas voting against Vernon than the other way around.” O’Keefe added that politicians wouldn’t impede service levels no matter the jurisdiction because they are used by all Greater Vernon residents.
“I don’t believe Vernon would vote negatively to punish the outlying areas.” — Mary-Jo O’Keefe “All citizens want more in parks. Kids play from one park to the other.” Representatives from Coldstream, though, suggest Vernon could do whatever it wants if the city gains another vote. “We want to give our taxpayers a say if we’re spending a certain amount on a service,” said Coun. Maria Besso. A similar view is held by Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director. “The other participants won’t have a meaningful say if Vernon votes as a block,” he said. “That abdication is a big problem if I repre-
sent Area C.” Mike Gavinchuk, BX-Swan Lake director, says that if Vernon gets another vote, twothirds support among participants should be required to pass something. “I want Area B to have input on service levels. I don’t want Vernon to have total control and just say, ‘Dance to our tune,’” he said. There was considerable discussion about what assets should remain regional in scope and which should be considered local and operated by individual jurisdictions. “Operating costs may stay the same but right now, you have others (jurisdictions) chipping into the hat,” said Trafford Hall, Regional District of North Okanagan administrator, who facilitated the session. “For a lot of them, there’s not a lot of latitude. It’s a skating rink and it has to be cleaned. Just because it’s close to you or your people use it doesn’t mean it’s better if you take it over.” The function participants remain divided, and Gavinchuk finds the situation frustrating. “People don’t want to get along. It’s all about personalities and that’s wrong,” he said.
An undercover operation has made a dent in Vernon’s drug activity. Officers successfully purchased drugs (predominantly cocaine and heroin) from 21 different people during a May-long sting. The operation took place across the city and resulted in 25 drug-related charges. While the RCMP detachment admits this will not erase drug activity, it should force drug dealers and the likes to re-think their operations. “It will put a little bit of a dent and slow them down,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. But as this case shows, even a bust doesn’t necessarily stop individuals from repeating their offences. Nine of the suspects have been charged previously with trafficking-related charges. RCMP are also concerned with the age of some of the suspects – one is 16 and another is 17. “Another disturbing factor is police are seeking warrants for at least two young offenders,” said Molendyk. “It seems to be a much more common occurrence that young people are becoming involved in trafficking drugs.” The majority of the 21 individuals have since been arrested, while five remain outstanding. A subsequent bust found six ounces of cocaine and heroin and a loaded ninemillimetre handgun was also taken off the streets. “The investigation is still ongoing in our goal to reduce drug trafficking and other forms of crime in our community, in keeping with our strategic goals for the year,” said Molendyk.

News Workshop rounds up transportation vision RICHARD ROLKE
Broderick, the district’s director of development services. Planning continues for a new alignment of Highway 6 between Grey and Ricardo roads. “We have major employers relying on Highway 6 and then you have an intersection like Kalamalka Road. It’s a recipe for disaster,� said Broderick of accidents there. Beyond the session in Vernon, similar meetings are being held in the Kelowna and Penticton areas. “We believe transportation is vital in terms of safety and economic development,� said Norm Letnick, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA, who is participating in the process. Besides automobiles, the strategy is considering transit, cycling and rail. Letnick admits that while there is a need to continue with transportation enhancements, the ability to pay for construction projects remains a challenge. “We have limited resources and we have to make sure those limited resources are applied in priority sequences throughout the Okanagan,� he said.
Morning Star Staff
Traffic volumes are often bumper-to-bumper through parts of the Okanagan, but the green light is being given to a long-term transportation vision. Politicians and bureaucrats from North Okanagan communities participated in a Ministry of Transportation workshop Tuesday. The goal was to determine where transportation needs to evolve. “It’s a good process to take a look at what could happen in 20 years and do some visioning,� said Enderby Mayor Dee Wejr, one of the participants. A primary concern for many communities, particularly along highways 97 and 97A, is the increasing volume of traffic and the ability of a decades-old road structure to keep up with the pressure. Delays are common at intersections in Vernon and Enderby. “The movement of vehicles is one of our highest concerns,� said Wejr. Upgrades to Highway 97 are underway but Wejr isn’t convinced that will be sufficient and

Police seek suspect in two robberies JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Two Vernon businesses robbed in a 15-hour period could be connected. M&M Meat Shops, in the Vernon Square Plaza, was the victim of an attempted robbery Monday morning just before 10 a.m. “The lone male approached the teller and demanded cash, when the teller refused the suspect left the store,� said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. Monday’s attempt follows a robbery at the Shell gas station in the 3800 block of 32nd Street Sunday around 7 p.m.
“The female employee reported that a native male came in and demanded cash and cigarettes,� said Molendyk. “The physical description of the suspect is similar to the male involved in the robbery (Monday).� The suspect is described as being between 19 to 22 years old, 5’8� tall with black hair and brown eyes of average build. He wore a black windbreaker with track pants and a white hat. No weapon was produced or indicated in either incident. Officers are following up on some leads, but at the time of this report no arrests have been made.

Greens raising profile JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
The Green Party’s barbecue circuit fired up some hot topics in Coldstream Monday. Adriane Carr, national deputy leader for the Greens, stopped in town on her B.C. tour aimed at building the party and celebrating Elizabeth May’s win in the federal election. “That’s something to just stop and savour over a barbecue,” said Carr, of May’s win – the first Green seat acquired since the party’s inception. “And the barbecue circuit can be a lot of fun.” It’s not just May that did well, the OkanaganShuswap riding (led by candidate Greig Crockett) was one of the party’s best showings. “We did well,” said Carr, meeting with more than a dozen supporters at the Kalavista Lagoon log cabin in Coldstream. “It (Okanagan-Shuswap) was one of seven ridings across Canada that got over 10 per cent (representing more than 6,000 votes).” But the Greens could have done bet-

Adriane Carr, national Green Party deputy leader, chats with some local supporters at the Kalavista Lagoon log cabin Monday. ter, if it weren’t for May being blocked from the national televised debate, claims Carr. “The result would’ve been a Green and orange surge.” Still, with their first leader in Parliament, party members say the door has been opened for more. “She’s doing an excellent job as MP,”
said Karen Durant, Okanagan-Shuswap Green Party events coordinator from Enderby. “She’s not sitting back, she’s out there. “She is amazing.” Moving on the momentum of May’s win, Carr encourages supporters to utilize the opportunity through such measures as petitions – which May can

Dave Smith of Coldstream says there’s no need for a prison in Lumby, let alone a prison anywhere. “The larger issue is around incarceration – incarceration of our youth.” Meanwhile issues like local infrastructure can also be addressed federally, something the Greens are working on as they try to get the federal government to fund aging urban infrastructure. But even with May, Enderby resident Lewis Zambon isn’t convinced the feds will turn their focus to B.C. “The federal government doesn’t care west of Ottawa.”
Marijuana grow-op shut down Morning Star Staff

“We’ve been told how great their new policing model was but nobody was here,” said Talbot. “They took on a job but they aren’t doing it. I blame the people in Vernon (RCMP administration) who are supposed to be taking care of things.” RCMP officials say they are aware of the motorcycle-related concerns in Falkland and the situation is currently being reviewed. “We had several thousand motorcycles in the North Okanagan (because of Sturgis North) and virtually all communities had concerns with motorcycles,” said Insp. Jim McNamara, with the North Okanagan
detachment. McNamara says there were three complaints received from two individuals Friday and Saturday in Falkland related to motorcycle problems. He also says highway patrol had officers in the Falkland area (which goes from past Monte Lake to Salmon River Road) all last week, including Friday and Saturday. “They may not have been right in downtown Falkland but they were out there. It was an extremely busy weekend.” Talbot has suggested Falkland go back to a free-standing detachment with designated officers, but McNamara says that would be
Enderby raises the flag over traffic RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Minimizing traffic congestion before holiday long weekends is a priority in Enderby. The city will ask the Ministry of Transportation if a flagperson can direct vehicles at Highway 97A and Cliff Street before the B.C. Day and Labour Day weekends. “We want to keep traffic flowing,” said Coun. Brad Case. Because of highway construction, the mechanism that allows vehicles to set off the light at the intersection has been removed. “Presently, the lights are timed and not triggered,” said Mayor Dee Wejr. “Even if no one is at Cliff Street, the light can still go red. That means the traffic on the high-
way backs up.” There were several problems with motorists trying to get through Enderby on the Canada Day long weekend. As a result, Wejr insists there is a need to be prepared. “Traffic is usually busiest the day before the weekend because
people try to get a jump on travelling,” she said. Wejr is hopeful the ministry will respond to the situation and provide a flagperson. “I’m not sure if the ministry will pay for it. The city may be willing to do it if we have to,” she said. Highway 97A con-
struction is currently on hold during summer traffic season and will resume in September.

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.

Storm keeps officers busy JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Saturday’s thunderstorms blew in a busy evening for emergency crews. During the blustery, lightning- and thunderfilled day, the North Okanagan RCMP detachment received 44 calls for service just between 4 and 11 p.m. Everything from home alarms going off, to accidents, trees down over powerlines (including one blocking a Lavington road), a stand up paddle boarder caught in the storm and a capsized boat on Okanagan Lake. In the two lake incidents, all individuals were OK. Meanwhile local RCMP officers were out of breath attempting to attend all the calls. “They were just running,” said Gord Molendyk, of the eight to 10 officers on duty during the storm. Local firefighters were also kept busy, particularly Coldstream, with a forest fire sparked by lightning in Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. But thanks to all the rain,

Va n c o u ve r- b a s e d CanKor, which has some Korean funding, is asking the Regional District of North Okanagan to divert all of its garbage to the plant. The company is also seeking $10,000 from
RDNO for a feasibility study. “Are we prepared to commit to determine for ourselves, whether this is something we’d want here?” said Hansma, adding that RDNO must also decide if it interrupts its solid waste management plan which is currently based on landfills and recycling. Most Spallumcheen council members appear reluctant to embrace the incinerator at this point. “We don’t know enough facts about it,” said Coun. Christine
Fraser. “Some of these process have been very successful in Europe but there’s a different environment and popula-
tion here. We have to look at it,” added Coun. Dave Brew. RDNO staff are currently reviewing whether the district’s existing
solid waste management plan remains practical or if consideration should be given to an incinerator in the North Okanagan.

Games people play
T
he division of Greater Vernon’s parks and recreational assets plods along. On Monday, representatives from Vernon, Coldstream and the two electoral areas discussed the future of the function and whether some facilities should remain lumped under one umbrella or if others should be operated as local parks by individual jurisdictions. But location alone can’t determine the status of a park and it’s naive to believe only residents of a nearby neighbourhood use it. Is Creekside Park local because people in the Kidston Road area can walk to it or is the scope regional because many of the kids playing soccer or lacrosse there reside outside of Coldstream? My family calls Coldstream home but when it comes to fastball, most of the games are at Grahame Park or Kin Race Track in Richard Rolke Vernon. It’s been suggested some parks should shift from the Regional District of North Okanagan so Coldstream can control the apparent negative impact park activities can have on neighbours. Trying to minimize noise or parking for residents makes sense, but there must be ways to address them within the existing structure. Or is this simply an attempt to pander to a small but vocal group who knowingly bought homes near public space but don’t want to share the area? Ownership of the recreational facilities also isn’t black and white. Coldstream holds title on Creekside, Lavington and Coldstream parks, while Vernon‘s name is on the deed for Marshall Field and the recreational complex. But since all sides formed the Greater Vernon function in the 1970s, taxpayers in all jurisdictions have pumped significant dollars into maintenance and capital.

Shouldn’t that investment be worth something? The economics of going it alone have also been raised by a newcomer to the scene. “Operating costs may stay the same but right now, you have others chipping into the hat,” said Trafford Hall, RDNO administrator, referring to the fact that costs are now shared between the four participants in the service. Coldstream has suggested it can run its parks more efficiently than the current service contractor — the City of Vernon. But lawns will still have to be mowed and trees pruned or planted. Water and supplies like fertilizer are fixed costs. Like Vernon, Coldstream’s works crew is unionized. BX-Swan Lake and BX-Silver Star have relatively small tax bases, with many properties paying the lower, agricultural rate. Will they have the resources to actually maintain parks or develop new services? Hall wonders where the savings will be. “Just because it’s close to you or your people use it doesn’t mean it’s better if you take it over,” he said. Most of Monday’s discussion, though, revolved around governance of the parks and recreation function. Vernon wants assurances that it obtains full voting strength if its population climbs while the other jurisdictions don’t want the city to dominate. Valid arguments can be found on both sides, but the discussion more often resembled children squabbling in the sand box. The situation isn’t lost on Mike Gavinchuk, BX-Swan Lake director. “People don’t want to get along. It’s all about personalities and that’s wrong,” he said. Ultimately, the worst part is that while elected officials on all sides puff out their chests, they have lost focus of the real issue — providing parks and recreation to all residents in a cost-efficient manner. November’s civic elections can’t come soon enough.
The provincial government may have done a lot of things wrong in recent years, but one thing that is paying dividends now has been to start weaning ourselves off the U.S. as the prime buyer for our lumber. Pat Bell, forests minister prior to the March cabinet shuffle, announced this week that China has now surpassed the United States as B.C.’s number one softwood importer. Bell said for the month of May, China purchased $122 million worth of lumber while the United States took about $119 million for the same month. To put this in perspective, Chinabound lumber was less than five per cent of B.C.’s total export production four years ago. That is a reflection of several issues. One is the provincial government’s efforts, working with the forest industry, to open up new markets to China. And it also reflects a need to not be as dependent on the U.S. China is the emerging world economic leader today, while the debt-ridden U.S. has crippled its own growth by becoming a consumer nation that finds its manufacturing base disappearing due to political mismanagement at the state and White House government levels. B.C.’s lumber industry has positioned itself in a great position for the immediate future. While the over-heated annual timber cut to save wood from the bark beetle epidemic still presents significant issues down the road. But for now anyway, the world market has changed and our lumber industry has changed with it. It’s that kind of forward thinking, adapting to change, that is needed in all aspects of our economy in order for Canada to keep creating new jobs. Kelowna Capital News

Forget about it
A
llow me to explain my position on the so-called harmonized sales tax referendum. Firstly, I deeply disagree with the way how the HST was introduced in B.C. However, I am not naive enough to think that voting against it now would make any difference, because if the provincial government needs more money, they will get more money; there are at least dozens of other ways they can get it from us. Therefore for us B.C. taxpayers, this is a lose-lose situation.
In fact, the cost of reintroducing the old PST and GST now and returning $1.6 billion to Ottawa could be much higher than simply keeping the HST. Consequently, I decided not to participate in this circus called the referendum, and I wish more British Columbia citizens would do the same. This in effect allows the HST to stay, but making the referendum invalid by low voter participation we can at least demonstrate to the government our disgust with this whole silly affair. Nathaniel Royko
KEEP THE HST Vote Yes to Extinguish the HST? I recently drove from Vernon to Summerland and couldn’t help but notice the number of signs on the roadway promoting this thought. The appeal this message has is that it implies we are voting for less taxes, and who wouldn’t want that? Unfortunately, that isn’t really our choice. We can either vote to keep the bureaucracy duplication of two tax collection groups associated with the PST and GST separately or we can vote for their being combined into one. The government’s need for money will not be diminished if we vote down the HST. In fact it will go up as the province will have to pay back the feds for reneging on this agreement. The government’s imagination on how to get more tax revenue is endless – the property transfer tax, sales taxes on used goods, government-run lotteries, the environmental fuel tax are all examples of fairly recent schemes that do just that. Hopefully the majority of us will realize when we cast our vote that this is not a vote on political reform to consider how much government spends or on what programs. It really is about less bureaucracy in how they collect it, and something they can tweak e.g. reduce it to 11 and then 10 per cent in the future to address the unintended consequences. I will be voting No to keep the HST and reduce this government waste. Myron Hocevar SCRAP THE TAX The Liberals brought in this ill-conceived tax just as a huge tax grab. If they had combined the PST and the GST that was currently on commodities, that would have been fine. But they tried to
sneak in the extra commodities, such as realtor commissions and the sale on new homes over $500,000, and many other things. Only the lower income and big businesses will be getting rebate cheques. Another things is, it does not create more jobs, just the opposite generally. What a bunch of baloney. The provinces that do not have the HST (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba) have by far the lowest unemployment rate in Canada. This tax is similar misrepresentation to the B.C. Rail sale. Come on, B.C., vote yes to scrap this horrible tax along with the eco-tax on fuel. That eco-fuel tax gets hidden and lost in general revenue. Extra taxes do not create jobs, except for bureaucracy. Knut A. Krogstad GONE TO THE DOGS Recently, there have been several articles written regarding the bad behaviour of dogs and or their owners. North America is the only continent that is obsessed with dogs — to the point of treating them better than humans. Where are the bylaw enforcement officers whom we pay for in our taxes? I live in Vernon and the BX hiking trail is one of my favourites. It has clearly marked signage — no dogs allowed. Yet on Fathers' Day, I hiked for one-and-a-half hours and counted 36 dogs. And it's like that all over the place — rude owners with a complete disregard for all non-dog owners and the law. The bylaw departments need to enforce and give out large fines to stop this adolescent behaviour. It's this type of permissiveness and lack of accountability that leads to situations in our society that recently occurred in Vancouver's so-called

hockey celebration. All bylaws have to be respected and enforced to ensure the continuous enjoyment of our beautiful parks, residential areas and tourist attractions Come on owners, start treating your neighbours better than a dog. Ray Gauthier RIOTS AN EMBARRASSMENT The so-called hockey fans in Vancouver were out to destroy anything in sight — because the Canucks lost? Not very likely. They were merely destructive, angry, ignorant people. I doubt if the majority knew much, if anything, about hockey. As a flag-waving Canadian and longtime hockey fan, I feel this astonishing display has shocked proud Canadians. The hard-playing, well-mannered Canucks team is probably embarrassed by this outrageous act also. K.J. Sand TAXATION UPSETS I stopped at my local grocery store to purchase two packages of garden seeds, carrots and parsnips, so that I can grow my own vegetables. Imagine my surprise when I was charged HST on these items. If I had bought them "ready grown" in the produce section, regardless of the country of origin, I would not have been charged tax on these items. In this day and age when people are being encouraged to grow their own produce, I think it is a shame on the government, be it provincial or federal, to be charging taxes on garden vegetable seeds for home use.

Preliminary numbers show 30 deaths in alcohol-related 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 can now impose an immediate penalty on any driver who blows in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;warnâ&#x20AC;? range between 0.05 and 0.08. Instead of issuing a 24-hour suspension or a formal impaired charge, police can impose a

will not be embarked on by the province. The campaign was supposed to help educate motorists on how much they can drink before they might exceed the lower bloodalcohol limit.

Some back road enthusiasts are driving increased enforcement to help protect the environment. Residents in the upper Hartnell and East Vernon roads area recently met with area stakeholders, the RCMP and the Area C director Mike Macnabb. Concerns were raised about four-by-fours, ATVs and dirt bikes doing damage to the environment on Crown land behind the area. With all the garbage and people riding through creeks, which are a drinking water source for some, federal ministries are anticipated to get further involved to help control the situation. The RCMP will also be doing its part to patrol the area a little more aggressively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course we all have access to Crown land but we need to look after it,â&#x20AC;? said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson, adding that there is also the issue of ATVs and dirt bikes driving illegally on the roads leading up to the back woods trails. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People just need to be a little more respectful of the rules of the road.â&#x20AC;?

said. Brew says he’s pleased with the endorsement of his fellow councillors. “I’ve wanted to sit there for nine years,” he said. “I think it will be

Armstrong-Spallumcheen’s recreational amenities have come under attack. Widespread vandalism occurred at Memorial Park and the aquatic centre July 13 and 14. “People did some after-hours swimming and they filled the hot tub with food colouring,” said Dave Brew, Armstrong-Spallumcheen Parks and Recreation Commission chairperson. Limbs were ripped off new trees, while flowers were pulled out of the ground and sprinkler heads were broken off. Some evidence was left at the scene but it may not help identify those responsible for the vandalism. “They were very generous and left their underwear behind,” said Brew. A final cost for the damage has not been determined yet, but action is being taken to minimize future incidents. “We are going to install motion detectors and that may help with after-hours visitors,” said Brew.

Lake Country farmers now have a new guide book and DVD showing how to safely dispose of waste materials. The Agricultural Waste Disposal – Best Practices Guide offers useful information for fruit growers and other members of the agricultural community to help save time and money while being kind to the environment. “Farmers can use the guide and accompanying video disc to make informed decisions on easily and safely managing prunings and yard waste, removing orchards and vineyards and recycling agricultural plastics,” said Kate Bergen, air quality co-ordinator with the Regional District of Central Okanagan. “The DVD has added information on composting, using wood chips and other best management practices. Together, they explain how local geography and weather conditions can affect air quality and how pollution from burning can adversely impact the health of Central Okanagan residents and our environment.” Links to the guide and video are available online at regionaldistrict.com/airquality.

AOA is A-OK with Armstrong Spallumcheen Parks and Recreation. The parks and rec commission has given approval to local organizer Jesse Valstar and his AOA 2011 event, a two-day concert featuring 22 heavy metal bands from B.C. The event takes place Friday and Saturday at the Hassen Arena. “Some folks voiced some concerns and asked questions of Jesse during a recent meeting,” explained Armstrong Coun. Kelly Rowe, who, along with Coun. Sully O’Sullivan are council’s
representatives on the parks and rec commission. “Jesse had all the right answers. He’s done everything anyone could expect him to do in preparation of this event.” Valstar, a bassist with the group Odinfist, assured the commission that the bands will shut down at 10:45 p.m. each night to alleviate noise concerns. A disc jockey will spin music until midnight. “Hopefully, this works out well,” said O’Sullivan. “It’s a $4,000 shot in the arm for parks and recreation.” Valstar told the commission he’s hired a

Carl McLennan Mortgage Broker
Q: A:
Why should I call you instead of my bank or bank specialist to get a mortgage?
There are many reasons, but I will give you the top 3: 1. Fiduciary Duty – that is a fancy way of saying that I look out for your best interests, I am legally bound to do so. Incredibly your bank is NOT! The “bank” looks out for the bank! 2. Options – I have access to many more products and terms than any given bank. Mortgages are not one size fits all and I will not stuff you into a product that isn’t right for you because of limited selection. However, if your bank does happen to have the best mortgage for you, then that is where I will send you (see #1). 3. Best Rates and Terms from the start – You don’t have to haggle for these. It is my job to see that you get them (see #1). While there are many reasons to arrange your mortgage financing through me, it really boils down to the first reason of fiduciary duty. It just makes good sense to have an educated professional on your side when undertaking one of the biggest financial transactions of your life, so call me!

Q: A:
I am concerned about Type 2 diabetes because one of my parents has it and I have other risk factors like high blood pressure and I am overweight. What can I do to prevent the development of this disease? Have your fasting glucose levels checked annually – This can identify a diabetic or pre-diabetic state early, allowing you to make diet and lifestyle modifications to prevent progression
and complications. Consume a diet low in refined carbohydrates and get to know the glycemic index (GI) of foods. The GI is a scale that ranks how much carbohydrate rich foods raise blood glucose levels compared to a standard food. Focus on complex carbohydrates and consume low to moderate GI foods. Consume omega- 3 oils – People with the highest blood levels of omega-3 oils from fish and flax seed have between a 36 and 43% lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes over 10 years. Eats Nuts – Consuming 2 ounces of nuts daily as a replacement for carbohydrate foods has been shown to improve both blood sugar control and serum lipids. Exercise at the intensity of a brisk walk for 30 minutes 5 days per week. Eat at regular times and choose well balanced meals with whole grains and a variety of vegetables, fruits and limited amounts of alcohol.
Q: A:
Will a solar film for my house windows cut down on heat this summer?
Yes it will! A solar film will block up to 80% of solar heat and 99% of damaging UV rays that enter your house through your windows. The majority of a house’ solar heat is gained and lost through them. A solar film from Solartech acts like insulation for your windows, during the summer it reflects heat and during the winter it traps heat in, thus making it easier to maintain a steady temperature and taking the workload off of the AC and furnace. All leading up to a 30% potential savings in your expenditures. And with all the different types of films, there is guaranteed to be one for every customers custom home design. At Solartech Films a friendly professional will come to your house for a free, no pressure quote and educate you on all your options.

Q: A:
The average expected lifespan for a gas furnace is around 2025 years. After that the failure rate goes up. If the furnace fails, it could introduce carbon monoxide into your home. This can be lethal, and it is hard for a layperson to determine exactly when this is going to happen. Also as your furnace ages it does not work as efficiently as it did when it was younger. Older furnaces typically function around 50% efficiency, this means that half of your heating dollar is going up the chimney. Installing a new high efficiency furnace can save significantly in your heating bill plus ensure that you will be safe from furnace failure. Installation of a new furnace is not as expensive as some think, and there are government grants available to help offset the cost. For more information on grants ask your heating contractor or me.

Feng shui will give you the facts that enable you to make clear decisions on when and how to market your home. With so much competition out there, you need every advantage you can get. A feng shui analysis will: - Target dates for your listing, sign placement and open house - Identify areas that you can activate for wealth - Locate the areas of your home that promote smooth communication and successful negotiations Feng shui is precise, it is scientific, and it is accurate. Home sales have enough emotion already, so why not work off a science base, and be one step ahead.

Q: A:
How do I choose the right sunscreen?
When choosing a sunscreen there are a few key things you should take into consideration. Look for a sunscreen that is broad-spectrum, meaning that it protects against both UVB (burning) and UVA (aging) rays. There should be physical filters such as Zinc Oxide which deflect sun rays and chemical filters that absorb harmful rays. Formulas that are oil free, paraben free, fragrance free, water resistant and have hydrating properties are safest for children and best suited for adults. Be sure to have an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of at least 30, but it is important to know that a higher SPF factor does not necessarily ensure that you can stay out in the sun longer, it simply means you have a little more protection if you have applied an adequate amount! A teaspoon for your face and a tablespoon for each arm or leg is recommended. A good sunscreen should also contain some antioxidants such as vitamins C & E, which neutralize free radicals and help to prevent sun damage. Ultimately, the sunscreen you choose will depend greatly upon your lifestyle and skin type. We have a great selection to choose from and a consultation with one of our professionals will help you make your decision.
Q: A:
Which is better -word memorization or phonics?
The schools of thought are far apart on this one. From time to time, the current educational philosophy leans toward one, and then back to the other. The reason? It seems that neither method works well for everyone, especially for those who struggle to learn to read. Many teachers combine the two. Right now, schools are swinging away from phonics and back to memorization. The Potentials reading method is called ‘Action Phonics’. Instead of learning each letter as a sound, the student learns it as a mouth position. Then, instead of trying to connect individual letter sounds, he just connects one mouth position to the next one, actually saying the word slowly as he decodes it. No more guessing. He also learns common vowel patterns from 56 different vowel cards, which help him decode words as well. Easy. Fast. Successful.

Runaway Moon slips into a dream Morning Star Staff
Runaway Moon Theatre has just announced summer performances of its newest creation, Dream. Humorous and poignant, Dream is a Mexican folk tale set in a miniature world. Drawing on traditions and folklore from the Central American celebration of the Day of the Dead, Runaway Moon Theatre animates the story with live music, singing, puppets and actors. The play will be brought to several venues in the North Okanagan/Shuswap at the end of July.
“We plan to revisit many of the same venues...” — Cathy Stubington “Throughout the past 10 years, Runaway Moon Theatre, based in Grindrod, has developed a close connection with the whole area, drawing audience members, performers, volunteers and community participants from all around,” said Runaway Moon’s artistic director and puppeteer Cathy Stubington. The theatre’s last tour of The World is Upside Down in the fall performed to audiences in more than 15 local communities. “We plan to revisit many of the same venues, if not in July, then in the fall, to continue sharing the magic and delight of a Runaway Moon play with puppets,” said Stubington. Dream is set in a small Mexican village, run by the local coffee baron. Juan, a poor, hard-working farmer, is tormented with a desire to selfishly eat a whole chicken by himself. When he eventually gives in to temptation and steals a delicious bird, he is visited by three powerful figures, each demanding a portion. The characters range in size from 10-inch puppets to full-size human actors and they sing, wisecrack, and play out a universal drama.

Rock band the Flu will be performing at the Wild Salmon Music Festival on Friday at the Freedom Flight Park just north of Lumby. The festival will be raising money for the Middle Shuswap Wild Salmon Society.
Be careful if you’re in Lumby this weekend, you might catch the flu. Okanagan band the Flu is set to rock the Wild Salmon Music Festival Friday evening at the Freedom Flight Park just north of Lumby on the Mabel Lake Road. The Flu is made up of Steven “Felix” Roberts, performing the vocals as well as playing guitar, Alex Nuyten on the bass, Jonny Karroll playing the guitar and Andrew Reed on drums. Their youthful, energetic live performances and exciting stage show capture their unique style and sound that is unleashed during their concerts. The band’s style and live concert performances include comparisons to legendary rock bands as well as many of the Flu’s musical influences including the Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age and Alexisonfire. Formed from members of popular Okanagan bands and studio recording projects, and after experimenting with numerous musicians and musical genres like punk,
blues, funk, rock and jazz, the Flu established their lineup and post-hardcore sound in 2010. The band has since released its debut single Dead City Radio, and is writing and recording songs for the EP CD to be released this summer. It will be distributed throughout the music industry and broadcast radio across Canada, with a United States release date to follow. The video release for Dead City Radio, which was recently filmed in Kelowna, can be viewed at www.youtube. com/1stvideoband. The Universal Juveniles and the Young'uns will also be in the line-up Friday night. Tickets are $30 per night at the gate. All proceeds from this festival will be going to the Middle Shuswap Wild Salmon Society to help raise awareness about the local wild salmon, and to expedite the building of a salmon passage at the Wilsey Dam near Lumby so the salmon can spawn in the pristine waters flowing through Cherryville.

Actor Paul Giamatti (left) plays a high school wrestling team coach in the film Win Win, alongside actor Alex Shaffer. The movie is playing at the Towne Theatre on Monday.
Sports flick has a sweet side LINDA WILLS Special to the Morning Star
Vernon Film Society brings the hilarious Win Win to the Towne Theatre’s screen as its next summer offering. As in The Station Agent and The Visitor (both shown previously by Vernon Film Society) director Tom McCarthy once more tells a story of an individual whose life is interrupted by strangers. Mike Flaherty (Paul Giamatti – Barney’s Version, Sideways), a mediocre lawyer, makes ends meet by taking on the guardianship of a senile old-timer Leo, (Burt Young), promptly dumping him in a nursing home. Mike isn’t all bad – he loves his kids
and his wife (Amy Ryan). He also volunteers as a coach for the pathetic local high school wrestling team. Fate steps in when Leo’s grandson Kyle (Alex Shaffer), an expert wrestler, turns up on his grandfather’s doorstep. Kyle has run away from home, hoping to move in with his grandfather. Mike cannot find any of Kyle’s relatives, other than a mother in drug rehabilitation, so Kyle ends up moving in with Mike and Jackie. As Amy Biancolli, of the San Francisco Chronicle says: “Win Win isn't a straight-up sports movie, though it does offer a few vivid scenes of triumph and loss on the mat. It doesn't
obey the conventional rhythms of the genre. Nor does it obey every convention of the standard indie comedy - or its acidtongued relative, the seriocomic portrait of a suburban dad in crisis. It's too sweet for that, too modest in its narrative quirk, balancing the funny and the painful with a few bursts of violence and the overall warmth of decent people trying to figure out what's best.” A film with a big heart, Win Win will be shown at the Towne Theatre Monday at 5:45 p.m. and 8 p.m. Please note the new times. Tickets are available at the door and one week ahead at the theatre and the Bean Scene for $7.

College-radio chart-topper plays Enderby Morning Star Staff
Fresh off their successful tour of the B.C. Interior, Folk Thief and My Boy Rascal are now headed to Winnipeg but, bowing to popular demand, they’re making an Interior stop at Cliffs Cafe in Enderby on the way. “We had a blast on tour together, and there was such a great response everywhere we played that we’re really looking forward to a great time in Enderby,” said Dave Hadgkiss, aka Folk Thief. The musicians are on the road to promote their debut albums: Love, Heartache and Oblivion (Folk Thief), and The Study of Animal Magicality (My
Boy Rascal, aka Colby Ramsay). The latest incarnation of Vancouverbased indie singer/ songwriter Hadgkiss, Folk Thief has
gone from a relative unknown, just a year ago, to having his debut album, Love, Heartache and Oblivion, make the top 10 (folk/roots/ blues) on college radio
charts across Canada. On Saturday, Folk Thief and My Boy Rascal will bring acoustic folk-pop to Cliffs Cafe (409 Cliff Ave.) at 8 p.m. Admission is by donation.

Arts Festival full of support
W
hat’s in a word … or words? How about thank you? How far do these two little words go for you? I think we all like to get a pat on the head now and then – even when we’re trying to be unassuming. Do we actually stop and think about saying thank you to those who “just do”… just because that’s just what they do? Rarearth happened because of a vision where people were invited to buy into our mandate which is “develop, maintain, manage and operate festivals to develop community spirit, raise funds for community projects … provide opportunities for the artistic development of local talent and provide mentor programs and workshops for youth.” Plus, a really important aspect of the festival is working toward sustainability and implementing our green theme. That vision mushroomed, and through the force of a hurricane, became a reality, drawing likeminded individuals, companies and governments. Without those who love the arts, and those who give 110 per cent, Rarearth would just be one of those inconsequential events. We all know the type … they will work until exhaustion and still send you a smile across the room. I think it goes without saying that volunteers make any event successful; they are definitely the glue that keeps the groove for all of our crazy ideas. Or the ones who write a letter to the editor to demand why it is that there’s another hollowing out of the arts from our schools and universities. What would our world be without the colour, more importantly,
what would our world be I thank you from the without these visionaries depths of my soul– we at who face challenges and Rarearth thank you.

Coho fry make a splash into Salmon River BARB BROUWER
JAMES MURRAY/BLACK PRESS
Department of Fisheries and Oceans enhancement technician Nicole Schilling transfers some of the 130,000 coho fry that were recently put into the Salmon River and its tributaries.
Black Press
Something fishy is going on in the Salmon River. The federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans has once again added hundreds of thousands of fish to the river. Every fall, technicians from the department’s Spius Hatchery near Merritt take several coho that are halted in their upriver travels by the Silver Creek fish fence operated by Eugene Puetz. The salmon are taken to the fish hatchery where technicians remove eggs from the females for rearing in the hatchery. “The purpose of the hatchery is to enhance wild stock,” says Doug Allen, a DFO enhancement technician, who notes both smolts that weigh in at about 15 to 18 grams and the younger fry that weigh only 1.5 grams are added to the river every spring. The smolts are about 28 months old and will travel to the ocean the same spring, he says, while the younger fry will rear in the Salmon River for about eight months and depart the following spring. On June 22 and 27, 130,000 coho fry were released in the river and hatchery officials released 98,000 chinook on June 13 and 14. Earlier in the year on May 13, 6,700 coho smolts were released and stand a much better chance of survival than the younger and smaller fry. “The fry have to live in the river for another eight months and are prey to birds, other fish, snakes, mother nature, temperature and oxygen issues as well,” says Allen, who notes technicians from Spius Hatchery have been trying to enhance Salmon River salmon stocks for about 15 years, releasing the smolts and fry into several locations along the river, beginning at Falkland. “We know how many fry we have and we want to spread them out over 27 kilometres from Falkland to Salmon Arm,” he says.

Press Accolades for Cha Cha Cha Roll In. As an artist who clocks in over 200 shows per year, acclaimed singer-songwriter can not only be deemed one of the hardest working men in music today, but one who truly puts his fans first. And the award-winning artist is doing just that by returning to his roots with a string of rare solo shows between now and the end of the year. "I never have a set list anyways, I just play any song I feel like playing and don't plan a thing."

“We spread them out when water is higher and coloured so they can hide better. It’s not an exact science, but it’s the best chance we can give them.” And science or not, the enhancement project seems to be working. “We’re up a bit, which is good news,” says fish fence operator Eugene Puetz. Last year, 660 chinooks made their way to the fence between July and October, that’s up from 618 the previous year. The peak of the annual coho run is around
the last week of October and last year’s return was 1,197, up from the previous year’s 1,007 salmon. The biggest jump was in the sockeye run. “We had 323 sockeye through the trap where four years previously we had 46, that’s a significant jump,” he said. That jump can likely be attributed to sockeye who came to the Salmon River because of overcrowding on the Adams River.
A rambunctious modern Celtic band, based out of the Okanagan Valley. The “cods” meld five veteran musicians from diverse musical backgrounds to create an edgy version of traditional, contemporary and original Celtic, Irish and Newfoundland music.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) There is a good chance that an excursion that wasn’t intended to be expensive could quickly get out of hand. Don’t be a tightwad, but don’t be foolishly extravagant either.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Even if you believe your way of doing something is superior to that of others, don’t impose your ideas on them. Listen, because you may learn a better way of accomplishing the goal.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) It isn’t enough to have good intentions, you must think things through before simply reacting. Otherwise you could unintentionally do something that others would find offensive.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Unless you take some time to study what is involved, you could make a commitment that you’ll regret. There might be a lot more to the job than you thought. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Borrowing something of value might be a bad idea, but, if for some reason you must, be extremely careful about how the object is handled, so that it isn’t damaged or stolen.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Keeping proper records could become imperative when you are called on the carpet to explain what and why you did something. If you want to win your case, leave nothing to memory. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Mixing business with pleasure might turn out to be a bad mistake when a member of your group overdoses on food or wine. It won’t generate the impression you wanted to make.

Don’t give up too easily on your reasonable hopes and expectations, because, perhaps for the first time in your life, you should be able to get on a solid track to success. Keep the faith and play to win regardless of the circumstances.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) If you’re entertaining at your place and a guest brings along an uninvited friend who turns out to be a jerk, graciously ignore it. It could ruin the whole affair if it becomes an issue. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Should a dirty job or a nasty responsibility be foisted upon you, take it in stride as best as you can. It will only make the situation worse if you air it out in front of others. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Circumstances similar to ones that existed in the past when you made a bad mistake might be occurring again. Take your cues from what you learned and handle it differently this time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) No one can live up to your expectations if your demands are unreasonable. Be honest about what you want, and don’t ask another to do for you what you can do for yourself. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Should a co-worker who is usually easy to get along with be a little testy, be forgiving, not vindictive. Toss aside all thoughts of getting even.

Bridge by Phillip Alder Where is the entry card? There is a Chinese proverb that says: “Teachers open the door. You enter by yourself.” When you are playing at the bridge table, though, there are no teachers to help -- you must find the way to open the door by yourself. In this deal, South reaches three no-trump. West leads the club two and East wins with his ace. What should declarer do? Did West have a more effective lead? South’s sequence showed a balanced hand with a good 22 to 24 points. Declarer apparently has 10 top tricks: two spades, one heart, five diamonds and two clubs (given trick one). But there is a snag -- because the diamond suit is blocked, how does South enter the
dummy after cashing the ace and king of diamonds? Most players would go down almost before starting, playing a low club under East’s ace. Then East can lead any card to defeat the contract. The only dummy winner outside diamonds is the club 10. Declarer must drop his king (or queen) under East’s ace. Then South can win whatever East returns, take his two diamond winners, cash the club queen (or king), and lead a low club toward the 10 to establish that dummy entry. How does declarer find this key play? By taking his time at trick one, working through the various scenarios before playing from the dummy. West would have done
better to lead a spade. Suppose South takes that trick, cashes his diamonds, then plays the club king. East wins and returns a spade, which declarer must duck. Now East shifts to a low heart. The defenders collect one spade, two hearts and two clubs. That would be tough to find, though.

One of Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own world-class destinations is hosting a world-class event that aims to make worldly impacts. Sparkling Hill Resort presents its first annual Charitable Evening of Wine Aug. 19 from 7 to 10 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This event features the top boutique wineries in B.C., along with some fantastic international labels,â&#x20AC;? said Tricia Dixon, one of event organizers. Along with pleasing palettes, the event aims to spread a taste of the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s caring nature over to Mexico. The evening is in support of a charity called One Corner Compassion Projects, which is building a learning centre in rural Mexico. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change the whole world, but we can change One Corner of it,â&#x20AC;? is the motto of the organization. One Cor ner Compassion Projects is a non-profit organization that exists to be a bridge between resources here in Canada, and needs in Mexico. Therefore local wine lovers are encouraged to come enjoy an evening of exquisite tastes, sights and sounds at the event. Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Melina Moore will be performing, along with a string quartet from the symphony, for guests as they sip wine and take in the breathtaking views of Okanagan Lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It should be a beautiful evening that showcases the best of Okanagan wine and the best of Vernon,â&#x20AC;? said Dixon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a world wide wine tour under one roof, and a great way to learn about and sample great wine.â&#x20AC;?

Eagles pluck Moore At 5-foot-1, 110 pounds, Jenessa Moore is hardly a menacing sight on the soccer field. Come game time and Moore shows that will and determination outweigh any size disadvantages she finds on the pitch. The VSS Panther High Performance Program grad needed just one prospects camp tryout last January at the coast to earn a scholarship package with the Kwantlen Eagles of Surrey. Kwantlen has won the last two B.C. Colleges Athletic Association women’s titles. “We are very excited to have Jenessa sign with the Eagles,” said Eagles’ head coach Gordon Smith. “She is a very skilled midfielder, able to read the game well and distribute the ball with either foot. She’s been coached very well.” Moore has enjoyed an all-star cast of youth coaches for years. She is currently coached by Claire Paterson (UBCO Heat head coach) with the Kelowna United U21 team in the Pacific Coast League. Moore has also received magic guidance from the likes of Okanagan Whitecaps Academy head coach David Broadhurst, the late NOYSA coaching director Andy Waughman, Andrew Latham, Wayne Aasen, Rick Price and Ron Krause. “Andy was my mentor when I began the Whitecaps Academy in Grade 8,” said Moore. “To have him spend countless hours with me on defending was amazing. I was super hard on myself and he told me to trust myself and relax. Things carried on with Andrew Latham in Grade 9 and then Dave and Claire took over and they put the icing on the cake. “They took a different approach to the game and helped me improve my skills, and helped me learn, and understand, every position by going over things on the drawing board.”
Moore played for a showcase team – University Prep Soccer – last summer out of Edmonton with Vernon’s Michelle Smith and Kelowna’s Andrea Berg. The Prep team played exhibition games versus Washington Crossfire sides in Seattle and practised with the pro Seattle Sounders women’s team. With Paterson`s U21 squad, Moore is primarily used in the midfield, where she is known for dominating 50-50 balls and displaying an excellent first touch. “I’ve learned to play everywhere, but I prefer to play centre midfield, which is a challenge, especially when you’re small. I just run a lot. My goal is going in hard and winning the tackles.” Said Paterson: “It is great that Janessa has signed with Kwantlen, they are a good program in the BCCAA and I think she will contribute immensely. “She is a hard-working athlete that has a dangerous outside shot that will cause some difficulty for opponents. I know that we will be watching for it when we play Kwantlen.” Moore, 18, maintained a 3.5 grade point average at VSS and earned bursaries from the Knights of Columbus, CUPE and Leigh Ramsay. She also won NOYSA’s George Stein Memorial Award and scholarship for her dedication to soccer through coaching at camps and serving as a referee or linesman. She gave up a chance to tour Europe with Vernon soccer friends this month to focus on her U21 team. Adding Moore bolsters the Eagles’ hopes of landing a national gold medal next season. “Having been a captain on most of the teams that she’s been on, we’re excited to add her leadership to the 2011-2012 squad,” said Smith. The Vernon-born Moore credits her parents – Mike and Tara – and brother Evan “for supporting me in the ups and downs.”
Canadians win Valley Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Canadians brushed back Cloverdale 4-2 in the finals of the Valley of Champions Bantam Baseball Tournament Sunday in West Kelowna. Shelby Hartwig started on the mound for Vernon with the first three innings scoreless. Dylan Emmons threw out runners from third and shortstop Jake O’Quinn made a diving acrobatic catch in the fourth. Brendon Zupp turned a double-play in the mid innings. With the game tied 1-1, Lucas Colgan earned a walk followed by Franky Gettis hitting a single advancing the runners. Mark Trznadel laid down a beautiful bunt to score Vernon’s go-ahead run in the fifth. Cloverdale earned the tying run in the sixth with a close call at the plate. Hartwig hurled six innings and gave up one hit. “I have never seen such a great job by a pitcher,” said Vernon coach Don Emmons. “The boys really worked hard for the title. I can’t remember a Vernon team winning the Tournament of Champions.” It was 2-2 going into extra innings and the Canadians dug deep and didn’t let up. Tyler Doyle and Clayton Bateman shared the first base duties, with Doyle recording a great leaping catch on a high throw to get the out. Bateman picked off a line drive for an inning-ending out, while Braden Damini was a wall behind the plate,
tossing out two runners at second. Emmons relieved Hartwig for two innings. Garner Chudyk reached first in the ninth and Zupp put a bunt down moving the runners. Emmons hit a ground ball to second with smart base running by Chudyl and Damini reaching home for the go-ahead runs. In the bottom of the ninth, the C’s stayed on top of their game as Mitchell Lukacs caught an outfield fly, Hartwig threw out a runner from third, and with two out and a runner on first, Cloverdale popped up to Trznadel in centre. Game MVP was Hartwig and MVP honours went to Damini for catching in four out of five games. “Kelowna tournament organizers said they have never seen a better game. We are very proud of the boys,” said Vernon coach Drew Doyle. Added coach Darren Zupp: “We kept our composure all weekend and played as a team.” Vernon smothered Summerland 15-0 in their tournament opener with Doyle receiving the game MVP. In Game 2, the Canadians rallied to defeat Victoria team 11-5 with Lukacs hitting a out of the park dinger for MVP. The Canadians then fell 7-5 to Cloverdale with Emmons taking MVP and then finished prelminary action by ambushing Surrey 12-3 with Colgan earning MVP for pitching a few great innings.

Venom bite Shamrocks Morning Star Staff
A hot goalie proved to be the difference between the Armstrong Shamrocks reaching the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League finals and an early offseason Saturday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. Netminder Andrew Copeland (24 saves) shut down the Armstrong attack as the Kamloops Venom earned a 6-3 win in the series-deciding Game 3 of the league semifinals. The Venom visited the regular-season champion Kelowna Raiders for Game 1 of the best-of-five final Tuesday night at Memorial Arena. “We just hit a really super-hot goalie. He was unreal,” said Shamrocks’ assistant coach Ryan Nitchie. “The intensity was there and we had lots of scoring opportunities. “They played a more consistent game than us. Their defence played high pressure on our key guys all series long.” Shamrock sniper Brett Hawrys opened the offence with a nice cut through the middle, giving his team a 1-0 lead heading into the first intermission. Armstrong surrendered four straight goals, includ-
ing a buzzer-beater, to trail 4-1 heading into the final frame. Braden James, Jeremy Bosher, Chris Case and Blaine Boomer supplied singles for the Venom. Cullen Rowan, going in alone on a breakaway after stepping out of the penalty box, and Owen Barker completed the Armstrong attack in the third frame. “You’d always like to go further, but we’re totally satisfied where we ended up,” said Irish head coach Pat Nelson. “A big thank you to our fans and to those who support our club and lacrosse in general.” With a roster of mainly 16- and 17-year-olds, Nelson was impressed with the Shamrocks’ season. “It’s quite a different game coming out of Midget and going up against those older guys. We’re looking forward to next year.” The Shamrocks lose captain Milan Marcetta, Kaz Boudreau and Brad Wolgram to graduation, but the bulk of their roster is returning. “This will be a good learning experience for our guys. For a lot of them it was their first playoff experience playing in front of a big home crowd.”

Raber spectacular in return Morning Star Staff
Well rested after five weeks off, Rick Raber returned to the pitch full of energy Monday night. The slick, wily winger scored twice as the Vernon Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels grounded the Silver Stars 3-1 in Okanagan Oldtimers 45+ Soccer League play at Marshall Field #3. The Camels improved to 10-2-2, while the Stars dipped to 6-4-4. The teams split the season series. Raber opened the scoring in the 30th minute when his shot went through a maze of legs on a scramble after a corner by Mike Daly. Striker Gord Howard flicked on a corner by Daly at the near post to make it 2-0 Humpbacks 15 minutes into the second half. Raber then jumped up and neatly deflected a cross from Dave Dawson past Stars’ keeper Ted Lurkins with 10 minutes left. Rob Bauml spoiled Dave Dutcher’s shutout bid with 30 seconds remaining on a slowmoving, left-footed toe punt which Camel defender Stu Whitling almost cleared off the line. The Big O Ogopogos earned their first-backto-back victories of the season, stopping the Kelowna Pushor Mitchell Advocates 2-0 at Marshall #1. Frustrating the 6-6-2 Advocate forwards all game long was a solid defensive line led by centre back Leo Nadeau, who played exceptionally well, directing Rich Zecchel, Greg Thalheimer and Kerry Zubot into a well-executed unit. Big O keeper Yogi Kongsdorf made no mistake grabbing the odd shot and made booming

Big O (6-8) got stellar work from midfielder Gary Dill, who was voted Liquidation World Man of the Match. The Tiremen scored midway through the first half when Juan O’Quinn sent a low cross from the back corner of the 18-yard box onto the foot of a wide open Brad Conlin on the top of the 18. Conlin found the top corner for one of the nicest goals of the Ogopogos’ year. Big O made it 2-0 near the end of the first half on a a steal by John Garner off a rebound from the Pushor Mitchell keeper, who lost the ball in his feet. Garner buried it in the wide open net, looking for the police over his shoulder. Okanagan Spring Brewery earned a 2-2 tie against Lake Country at
Beasley Park. Jeff Vest, on a penalty kick midway through the first half, opened the Spring offence. Denis Chabot made it 2-0 on a tap in after Tom Ouchi did all the work. Rick Price subbed in net for the 4-7-2 Brewers. Lake Country scored once midway through the second half and equalized with six minutes left. First-place Kelowna IGA doubled Salmon Arm 4-2, Cantina’s edged the Rutland Spirit 3-2 and Penticton United shut out Kelowna’s North Country Appraisals Kickers 2-0. In Okanagan men’s 35+ league action Monday night, the Vernon Square Liquor Store Celtics stormed Eco-Wise Water of Kelowna 6-1 at Marshall Field #2. Bryan Schenker (3), Kriss Yargeau (2) and Rene Mailloux scored
for the 5-5-2 Celtics. The game started slowly and with chances being scarce during the first 30 minutes, coach Kai Tolpinreed decided to switch up some positions in the midfield. The change immediately paid off when Graeme Magee steered a brilliant through ball to Schenker, who made no mistake in front. The lead forced Eco Wise to take more risks, and as the game opened up, the Celtics created several opportunities before half time. The Celtics continued to control possession in the second half, with Ryan Leibel ruling on the midfield despite playing with an ear infection. Eco Wise could not keep up with the tempo, and eventually Schenker and Yargeau alternated in scoring the next four goals, before defender
Mailloux recorded the goal of the night with a curled free kick into the far corner. Multitalented Mike Collins had an flawless game as stand-in goalkeeper. Bosman Accounting beat the Kelowna Rented Mules 2-1 in the puddles at Rutland Sports Fields. Bosman started off solid, but were forced back to their own half in the first 15 minutes of the game, but the Mules failed to convert. The accountants dominated the rest of the half with chances on goal for midfielders Bobby Zalcik and Simon Woodward and attackers Steve Smith and Wes Vanderveen. Vanderveen hit the post on a long shot. The accountants put in some more attacking power in the second half, which resulted in more chances, but the Mules’ defence was stellar. Right midfielder Zalcik went on a long solo run and was taken down inside the 18 midway through the second half. Zalcik converted. Minutes later, keeper Shawn Wiebe made a heroic charging save on a Mules’ breakaway. The Mules attacker, however, came in with two feet forward, studs to body, and was sent off with a red card. With the one-man advantage, it seemed even harder for Bosman to create chances and the Mules netted the equalizer. In the last minute, winger Carl McLennan clicked with Vanderveen and scored the winner. The accountants are now 4-9-0, while the Mules are 1-12-0. Shortstaffed Vernon Toyota bowed 10-1 to Lake Country Variform in Rutland. Mark Budgen buried a bobbled ball by the Lake Country keeper for Toyota (5-6-1). Lake County went to 10-1-2.

Vipers open with ‘Backs Morning Star Staff
The three-time defending champion Vernon Vipers open the 50th B.C. Hockey League season Friday, Sept. 23 against the visiting Salmon Arm SilverBacks. The official league schedule was announced Monday with the Chilliwack Chiefs (transfer from Quesnel) the newest franchise on board. “I’d like to acknowledge the work done by our executive director Dave Sales on this season’s schedule,” said BCHL commissioner John Grisdale. “It’s an unenviable task and a huge job that Dave took on but I believe he’s come up with a schedule that works in everyone’s best interest.” A focus was placed on Friday and Saturday night games, also known as “prime nights”, and significant increases were made in that area compared to last season. Of the 480 games scheduled, 67 per cent will take place on prime nights. With Sundays included, 83 per cent of games will be prime or Sunday starts leaving only 17 per cent of games scheduled for midweek. “Hockey fans always eagerly anticipate the release of the schedule so we’re happy to let fans, scouts, the media and our players see what’s in store for the year ahead,” said Sales. “By handling the league schedule internally this year, we’ve boosted the number of weekend starts and hope that allows greater access to games for anyone following the BCHL.” The schedule has a nine-day break at Christmas and concludes on Sunday, March 11, 2012 with three games scheduled. The Vipers will play nine mid-week games at Wesbild Centre (five Wednesdays) and four Sunday matinees. They have seven mid-week road tilts. Vernon will renew their once intense rivalary with Harvey Smyl’s Chiefs Friday, Oct. 7 at home. The Vipers do not make the long trek to Powell River, but the three-time league finalist Kings are here Saturday, Feb. 25. The top four teams in each eight-team conference make the playoffs.
A pair of Coldstream Ranch farmhands played the heroes for the Willms Electric/Checkers Whalers in Game 2 of the North Okanagan Ball Hockey Association finals Sunday night at Wesbild Centre. Facing elimination, James Dobrowolski set up his good buddy Dave Robinson alone in the slot for the winner as the Whalers earned a 6-4 comeback win over defending champion Sneakers Flyers. The championship-deciding Game 3 went Tuesday night at Wesbild. League scoring champ Chris Glen put the Flyers on the board at 19:50, but Whaler veteran Kris Glinsbockel tied the game up seven minutes later, beating Flyer netminder Jordan Vallance blocker side for his first of the finals. Flyer captain Erick Locke responded with a strike late in the first half to make it 2-1. Sneakers came out quickly in the second half, getting quick singles from Locke and James Mowatt to go up 4-1. With 10 minutes left in regulation, Whalers’ rookie sensation Ryan Harrison scored the first of back-to-back goals, one on a great pass from his cousin Robinson, and another on a great individual effort from Bryce Kakoske A centering pass from Samuel Gare found the back of the net off James Dobrowolski’s stick to tie the game 4-4 with four minutes to go. Kevin Kraus added an empty-netter to ice the game and force Game 3.

here’s something in the air right now and it’s not just the smells and sounds of spring. It’s just as pervasive, however, and certainly is freaking out many of the totalitarian regimes that still exist around the world. It’s called freedom to communicate. It is only roughly since the beginning of this century that the infrastructure has been in place to allow person to person, audio-visual communication to occur easily, instantly and portably with very little, if any, constraints imposed by national borders. So now regimes that are inclined to control comVernon PC Users’ Club munications and able to do so because they control the supporting infrastructure, can no longer do so with impunity, thus losing their grip on what their populace hears and sees. We in this country and other true democracies often take for granted the freedom to communicate and tend to react strongly to attempts to infringe upon that right using the various media now available to us. So rather than decry some of the undesirable side effects of this freedom, like some people always being totally immersed in their iPhone or BlackBerry, we should perhaps not sweat it too much considering some of the up-sides of these technologies now being felt around the world. Like when voting in our national election recently, I was impressed by the number of young people at the polling station and wondered how many of them had been prompted to be there after having received a Tweet or Facebook posting from a friend saying, maybe, “Voted yet, Dude?” For more information on The Vernon PC Users’ Club, call Betty at 542-7024 or Olive at 542-8490.

Taylor blazes trails Cross-country skiing pioneer celebrates his 100th birthday CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Fred Taylor looks back over a century of gold mining, gold medals and golden memories. He was born in Stanford-le-Hope, England, June 21, 1911 and came to Canada with his family when he was 11. They settled in the Maple Ridge area where he worked in mills from the time he was 14. “Then during the Depression there was no work, so I rode the rails across the Prairies, which I didn’t like because it was too flat. I came to Prince Rupert and took a boat to Skagway and walked to Mayo, Yukon — 350 miles in three weeks,” he recalled. It was the beginning of a long-term love for the north. Taylor worked in the mines, saved his money and bought a placer gold mine in Dublin Gulch in 1936. “It was all by hand, shovel and picks but I liked it. I worked hard but I was working for myself and I liked the country,” he said. In 1940, he married his first wife, Anne. He volunteered for the services and the
first time he was told to keep on mining because a byproduct of gold mining is tungsten which was used in the production of guns. In 1942, he was accepted for the Armed Corps and did his basic training in Vernon. He saw his first son, Frank, for one day before he left for overseas and then not again until 1945. He drove tanks in France, England, Algeria, Sicily and Italy and was part of the Canadian liberation forces in Holland. “Dad never talked much about the war, it was something that had to be done, it was done, then you got back to work,” said his youngest son, Lars Taylor. Taylor went back to his mine and his second son, Jim, was born in 1947. After Anne’s death, the boys were sent to school in Vancouver and Taylor joined them there in the winter. He married Joyce, a nurse in Mayo, in 1965. “I noticed she walked with her feet turned out so she was a good girl for me — if she ran away, I could track her. It turned out she was a good girl for me,” said Taylor, laughing. Joyce remembers that they spent their first winter together in the cabin at the mine from November to March. They had lots of supplies, reading material and did lots of skiing. “We’d spend a long time getting up the hill and then two minutes coming down.
It was not a cold winter, only minus 30. I was in Mayo when it was minus 75. It was a wonderful winter,” she said. By the 1960s, they were coming to Silver Star to ski and were grateful for the rope tow and poma lift. Lars was born in 1969 and was on skis as a baby, later becoming a member of the Canadian National Ski Team, and then an occupational therapist. Frank went mining in the Yukon and Jim was involved with the early days of Greenpeace. The Taylors have four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Fred and Joyce moved to a farm in Lavington in 1972 and took up crosscountry skiing. “We skied all winter and farmed all summer. We spent a lot of time clearing cross-country trails at Sovereign Lake. We met so many wonderful people who are still friends,” said Joyce. Lars added that many people don’t realize how volunteers worked to build up what is now one of the best crosscountry ski areas in North America. Fred and Joyce recalled how skiing has changed from wooden skis, leather bindings and woolen knickers to high-tech equipment and clothing. They continued to ski three or four days a week and took part in races around the area until Fred was 97. “It’s been a good life,” said Fred, taking Joyce’s hand affectionately.

Members of Club Filipino of Okanagan-Shuswap hold their annual Fiesta Filipino Saturday, with entertainment to include traditional dancing.
Club Filipino gets ready to party Morning Star Staff
In a country that encourages people to retain their original cultural identity, the Club Filipino of Okanagan-Shuswap thrives in preserving Filipino traditions in Canada. “The club helps newcomers to easily assimilate to the Canadian way of life by providing fellowship through activities like
its monthly birthday celebrations, occasional potlucks through participation in activities that highlight diversity, and by keeping the Filipino spirit of communal unity (known as bayanihan) very much alive, particularly during times of crises in the Philippines,” said Bernie Ramis, with the club. “The club has also opened its doors to immigrants
from different countries.” On Saturday, the club celebrates with its annual Fiesta Filipino, a showcase of exotic Filipino food, songs and dances. The fun takes place at the Vernon Recreation Centre starting at 5 p.m. For tickets, please call Jim at 250-545-8814 or Maylene at 250-549-9591.
Raspberries are a sweet reward
O
ne of the summer chores I least favoured as a child was being sent over to a neighbour’s with three of my sisters, to glean the last of their raspberries. It was always near the end of the season, when they had had their fill, and although it was a generous offer that my mom never refused, I didn’t see it that way at all. She saw us eating fresh fruit and all the jam she would make for the winter, which of course we all loved. All I saw was hard labour under the searing Okanagan sun, scratchy bushes Cathi Litzenberger which would be tearing holes in my arms and legs, and the slowness of my sisters picking, which would mean we’d be there all morning. Worse, though, was the thought that every few days for the next couple of weeks we’d be back in the patch picking again. That’s what kids were for in those days, after all (doing what they were told). I would have much preferred being in the pool at the park. However, the experience was full of gifts that have lasted me a lifetime. Things like “You don’t get something for nothing,” appreciation for generous people, for nature, for the solitude of some work, and for fruit among many others. I even enjoy picking berries of all kinds today. This week’s recipes include a nice square and a fresh delicious unbaked pie.

Raspberry Squares 2-1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 2/3 cup granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon table salt 16 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 cup) plus 2 tablespoons, cut into 1/2-inch pieces and softened at room temperature 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, light or dark 1/2 cup rolled old-fashioned oats 1/2 cup pecans, chopped fine 3/4 cup raspberry preserves 3/4 cup fresh raspberries 1 tablespoon lemon juice from 1 lemon Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 375 degrees. Cover bottom and sides of a 13 x 8-inch pan with foil, allowing it to reach above the edges of the pan for easy removal. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place flour, granulated sugar and salt in food processor and pulse until combined, about 5 seconds. Scatter 16 tablespoons butter pieces over flour mixture and pulse until mixture resembles damp sand, about 20 one-second pulses (can also be mixed by hand). Measure 1 1/4 cups flour mixture into medium bowl and set aside; distribute remaining flour mixture evenly in bottom of prepared baking pan. Using hands or flat-bottomed measuring cup, firmly press mixture into even layer to form bottom crust. Bake until edges begin to brown, 14 to 18 minutes. While crust is baking, add brown sugar, oats and nuts to
reserved flour mixture; toss to combine. Work in remaining 2 tablespoons butter by rubbing mixture between fingers until butter is fully incorporated. Pinch mixture with fingers to create hazelnut-sized clumps; set streusel aside. Combine preserves, raspberries and lemon juice in small bowl; mash with fork until combined but some berry pieces remain. Spread filling evenly over hot crust; sprinkle streusel topping evenly over filling (do not press streusel into filling). Return pan to oven and bake until topping is deep golden brown and filling is bubbling, 22 to 25 minutes. Cool to room temperature on wire rack, 1 to 2 hours; remove from baking pan by lifting foil extensions. Using chef ’s knife, cut into squares and serve. Fresh Raspberry Pie 1/4 cup sugar 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 cup water 1 package raspberry-flavoured gelatin (3-oz.) 5 cups fresh raspberries 1 graham-cracker pie crust (9 inches) Whipped cream (optional) In a saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; add water and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in gelatin until dissolved; cool about 15 minutes. Place raspberries into the pie crust; slowly pour gelatin mixture over berries. Chill until set, about 3 hours. Garnish with whipped cream if desired.

Boot adds second book signing Morning Star Staff
Dr. Case Bootâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, Sharing the Road: A Journey Through Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease, has drawn interest from readers throughout the North Okanagan. And its popularity has meant a second book signing, taking place Saturday from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. at Bookland in downtown Vernon. Boot said Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease is often misunderstood and he wrote the book to make something useful for others from his experience and to share his story of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faithfulness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I found very little information,â&#x20AC;?

Sharing the Road: A Journey through Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease is a short, easyto-read 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 Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Sharing the Road is available at Bookland and Coleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Vernon and at Amazon.ca.
