Sunny reception to Midsummer’s new locale JESSICA SCHWITEK Morning Star Staff
In between two days of solid rain, Mother Nature saw fit to part the clouds and let the sunshine in Wednesday for the 25th annual Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts. “We couldn’t have been happier that the weather co-operated with us, aside from a bit of wind, the evening was wonderful,” said Dauna Grant, executive director of the Vernon Public Art Gallery. As a new twist on this year’s art auction and fundraiser, organizers decided to move the location into the heart of downtown Vernon. “We were thrilled at the turnout and positive feedback we received from hosting the 25th anniversary of Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts at Cenotaph Park,” said Grant. “It looks like it’s turned out really well,” said Mayor Wayne Lippert, an annual attendee of the event. “I think it’s great.” This is my second year to the event, and after making the rookie mistake of wearing high heels last year to the beautiful, but uneven, gardens at the Caetani Cultural Centre, I made sure to wear more appropriate footwear this time around. It turned out to be unnecessary. The flat and spacious Cenotaph Park with paved paths made it possible for guests to wear whatever they saw fit, which was one of the selling points according to Grant. Another new feature of this year’s auction was the inclusion of “freestyle abstract painting.” “That’s what I like to call it,” said artist Nikki Balfour as she stood in the corner of the park, painting a piece to be auctioned off that night.

Nikki Balfour paints as her husband James Balfour sings and plays the guitar at the Vernon Public Art Gallery’s Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts Wednesday at Cenotaph Park. Nikki’s painting is inspired by her husband’s music. Auctioneer Peter Raffan (below) encourages the bidders at the live art auction while Laurie Postill (bottom left) and her daughter Linsey Postill Johannson discuss their bidding strategy.
“I’ll be painting until 8 p.m., so people will be bidding on it while I’m still painting,” she said as she kept on painting. With her musician hus-
band James singing beside her, the pair attracted a crowd of onlookers as they worked away, the two very different arts complementing each other quite nicely.
“It’s completely driven by the music,” said Balfour of her art. “It’s like dancing with a paintbrush. I just love his music.”
Although raised in Vernon, Balfour is currently a resident of Lake Country, and most often performs her “freestyle painting” at events in Kelowna.
“I love being part of different events, especially this one because it’s the first time I’ve done this in the city I grew up in.” She kept on painting as Peter Davison, emcee for the evening, tried to corral everyone into the main tent for the live auction. Armstrong auctioneers Peter Raffan and Rod Burnett from Valley Auction were back in action this year. “This is my third year doing (Midsummer’s Eve). It’s just a really fun event,” said Burnett, winner of the 2011 International Livestock Auctioneer competition at the Calgary Stampede. “We’re really proud of him,” said fellow auctioneer Raffan, adding that only six Canadians have won the honour in the past 22 years. Raffan and his brother Don are also among the six. “It’s a pretty good little auction house for that to happen,” said Burnett. The main tent came alive as 60 items, including dozens of original works of art, a variety of gift certificates and other packages, and Balfour’s freshly painted piece, were auctioned off. A dropped set of Lexus keys and the car they belong to were almost added to the list as Raffan joked that if the owner didn’t claim them they would be considered a generous donation. All the funds raised at the event will go to support the Vernon Public Art Gallery, which according to Davison, may also be changing location. “We are hoping to have a new art gallery in the downtown core before too long.” See page B1 for more coverage of the event and visit www.vernonmorningstar. com for a slideshow of photos.

Jake Lowe, two, and his brother Zachary, six, look around for a good spot to play a game of soccer with their dad Alan Norquay Sunday morning in Kal Provincial Park and finally find a nice patch of green to kick around the old ball.
A Vernon woman died after being thrown from a motorcycle on Highway 97 near Okanagan Falls Wednesday. The RCMP received a report of a motorcycle losing control on a hairpin curve around 7:05 p.m. at Vaseux Lake. Traffic investigators confirmed that the husband and wife on the Harley Davidson motorcycle were northbound when the operator lost control when negotiating the hairpin turn, throwing both riders of the bike into the oncoming traffic. Both riders were injured when they were run over by a southbound 2004 Ford Explorer. The 52-year-old Vernon woman died and her 60-yearold husband received moderate injuries and was admitted to hospital. RCMP traffic investigators are continuing their investigation into the crash, with the preliminary determination that speed is a contributing factor.
Development spurs Commonage preservation RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Pressure is growing on the City of Vernon to ease the brakes on Commonage development. The newly formed North Okanagan Natural Areas Preservation Committee wants council to deny a development variance permit for 242 hectares Monday and to initiate a land use plan for the Commonage. “It’s a very sensitive area in the eyes of many Vernon citizens,� said David Kennedy, a NONAP member. “The city is looking at it from a technical perspective but they fail to see the major implications from development.� Land owner Bob Armstrong is

proposing a 28-lot subdivision for the 242 hectares near Chum Road and he is seeking a development variance permit so he can create one 80.9-hectare lot. A variance is needed because the single lot would exceed minimum lot size. “They are trying to rezone without going through the process of rezoning,� said Robyn Thornton, with NONAP. Among the group’s concerns are disruption of the natural grasslands and wildlife and possibly leading to other development in the Commonage. “It’s setting a precedent,� said Thornton, who questions why a subdivision is required. “The owner should have to prove there is a market need for this and if
there isn’t, why does council have to consider it?� If council denies the variance permit, city staff have indicated that subdivision can still occur because of existing zoning, which originated with the regional district prior to annexation into Vernon in 1993. Kennedy, though, suggests the zoning is contrary to the values residents supported in the 2008 official community plan. “The OCP takes a comprehensive view of those lands and the direction in which the city wants to develop,� he said. David Cullen, a Kelowna engineer representing Armstrong, says a variance is being sought to ensure environmental assets are recognized.
“We have done a considerable environmental review of the site and where the Agricultural Land Reserve lands are located,� he said. “The variance would bring two parcels of ALR into a single lot as well as the grassland. We want to ensure the protection of one continuous large parcel.� Cullen added that there would also be environmental covenants in place. “Whether there is a need for the subdivision, that is up to the land owner to determine. The market may not be there today but it will be there in the future,� he said. Cullen isn’t sure if the existing zoning conflicts with the OCP. “That may be the case but the zoning is in place,� he said.

Downtown Armstrong will shine during a national broadcast. The area along Pleasant Valley Road has been selected as the the site of TSN’s SportsCentre broadcast Aug. 19. “We looked at a lot of spots from the fairgrounds to Memorial Park to PVSS and we kept coming back to historic downtown” said Ryan Nitchie, local organizing committee chairperson. “TSN loved the backdrop of our historic old buildings with our directional sign post, landscaping and the peak of Memorial Mountain in the background. It isn’t often that we get to focus national attention on our town so it is wonderful that we have this opportunity.” Armstrong recently won the Kraft Celebration Tour and along with the TSN broadcast, $25,000 will be going into upgrades at Hassen Arena. Details for downtown road closures will be staggered over the two days to allow for set up of the TSN stage. The north and south sides of Pleasant Valley Boulevard will be partially closed on Aug. 19 for the Kraft Celebration Zone and a portion of Pleasant Valley Road, from Okanagan Street to Bridge Street, will be closed Aug. 18 and 19 for the TSN stage. “We are working with the city and chamber of commerce to advise the local businesses and emergency services of traffic disruptions,” said Nitchie. “We want to ensure that pedestrian traffic is accessible at all times.” The free community event begins at 1p.m. Aug. 19 with Kraft supplying all of the food for a free barbeque at the Bull’s Eye BBQ Pit which will be run by Askew’s Foods and the Armstrong Ladies Club. Free hot dogs, hamburgers and drinks will be available to the first 2,000 guests. Kraft is also bringing along several activity tents with games and crafts. “The event is quite large and a real festival atmosphere will surround the show” said Nitchie. The itinerary for the Tour stop continues with the $25,000 cheque presentation from Kraft at 2:30 p.m. and then the SportsCentre broadcast at 3 p.m. Hosts Jay Onrait and Dan O’Toole will anchor the show and entertain what is expected to be a large and enthusiastic crowd. “If you have ever watched SportsCentre before, you will know how much fun these guys are and from the TSN producers, they tell us we will be in for a few locally flavored surprises from these two,” said Nitchie.

Part of the Liberals’ rural caucus will be in the two communities today to meet with local politicians and farmers. “We are travelling around to different communities in the province to see what their issues are,” said Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA and a caucus member. “The interests of those communities are important.” Foster insists that rural communities have an impact on the province both economically and socially and their needs must be considered by government. “People in urban areas don’t always have a good handle of what goes on in rural areas,” he said. The MLAs will get together with Lumby
council at 10 a.m. and the focus will be economic development. “We will definitely be talking about seniors housing, the correctional facility and a road to Silver Star,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. Also planned are
discussions with ranchers and a meeting with regional district directors Eugene Foisy and Rick Fairbairn about the need for high-speed Internet. Foster believes it made sense for the rural caucus to visit the two
communities. “Lumby and Cherryville are the rural end of my riding,” he said. “There are things that affect communities like Lumby that don’t affect Vernon and Coldstream.”

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.

Games issues call for volunteers Morning Star Staff
The B.C. Winter Games are just seven months away and a push is being made to sign up volunteers. More than 2,000 volunteers will be needed for the event that will bring more than 2,000 athletes, coaches and officials to Greater Vernon Feb. 23 to 26. More than 400 volunteers have signed up so far. “We’re looking for about 2,200, and we know with summer here, people are away, but we’re going to get a heavy push on to get people to sign up now, rather than later, to get them ready and in position
capacity must have a criminal record check completed and approved within six months of the Games. We are hoping for this reason that volunteers will come forward early.” The other main areas people can help out with during he Winter Games are transportation, promotions, communications, security, special events, sport, Friends of the Games, food services, ceremonies, medical, results and registration, administration and protocol. To sign up as a volunteer, go to www.2012bcwintergames. ca.
“We’re looking for about 2,200 (people).” — Akbal Mund for where they want to help out,” said Akbal Mund, Games president. “We require hosts, people to work within the sports and people to sit in the dorms at night where the kids stay.” Nine schools will be used to accommodate the participants.
Greater Vernon event seeks office Morning Star Staff
Organizers of the Greater Vernon B.C. Winter Games are in need of office space to use as the event’s head office. “The space needs to be between 3,500 to 5,000-square-feet, and can be anywhere around Vernon,” said Akbal Mund, Winter Games president. “We are hoping to have the space donated for the next seven months, otherwise the cost of the rent will consume some of the Games legacy fund for community projects.” Anyone with information on possible sites can call Mund at 250-550-0388 or Jim McEwan at 250309-7753.

A place to call home
T
he latest home renovations began with me wondering if my living room ceiling would look more interesting with beams, like the English cottages I covet. Surely it wouldn’t hurt to just poke a tiny hole in the ceiling to see what was up there and if the floor joists could be exposed, as was done in the kitchen. The hole accidentally got a little bigger than planned and there was a big surprise for me. The insulation Cara Brady consisted of the original two-inch layer and a sprinkling of fluffy paper stuff, the blown-in insulation, which was supposed to be a foot thick and had cost what was a fortune years ago. I had been the victim of a home-improvement scam and lost uncountable dollars in heating costs in the years since. I set to work taking down the ceiling and old insulation, listening to Jimmy Buffet to cheer me on. I’m with you all the way on that “over-forty victim of fate” train of thought, Jim. I didn’t find any treasures in the space which had been undisturbed, except for the wisps of insulation, since the house was built, I did find a blue marble, a metal toy soldier, some pieces of boards and part a handwritten receipt dated 1948. I got the new ceiling insulation in place and meant to do the painting last winter. Spring came and the garden beckoned and I am only just now starting the painting. As I worked, I thought about other home improvement projects in my life. The first was building a house from the ground. My father built the family home on the farm on the shores of Goose Lake in Northern Alberta. He, like all pioneer farmers, could do everything. It was not amazing to me as a child to see a house take shape, that was just what
AT RANDOM
fathers did. I was more excited by the playhouse he built for my sister and me. My father always took care of everything and even after I had my own house, he helped me with things like a playhouse for my daughter, bookshelves and repairs. My mother taught me, too, the value of a home and how to take care of it. My improvement projects now consist mostly of paint and fabric, things I can do myself. My neighbour with perfect taste has more than once talked me down from wanting bright, bohemian colours and looking back, I see that was a good thing. But I still like bright colours and although I admire the stylish all white look, I wouldn’t feel comfortable with it. The people in the all-white world must not have pets or maybe only all-white pets who take their shoes off when they come inside. I’m painting the ceiling now, and the walls. Yes, colours. If our homes mirror ourselves, I am just an unredeemable old hippie. There hasn’t been any hand writing on the wall for many years now but I can read the walls like a palimpsest. There’s the repaired dent where my niece slammed a tricycle into the wall, the faint shadow of the hole where I hung the first piece of real art I bought, another hole where there used to be an extra security-anchor wire for the Christmas tree, the faint outline of a former window, traces of old paint at the top of the wall, the colour of the curtains I bought before I took the trim down and found it. Maybe the house wants some of that colour in it. The walls whisper to me, too, the sounds of children playing, the laughter of friends, the last time my parents were there, although we didn’t know it at the time. The painting looks good and I’m eager to get things back in place. Then I can paint the pantry. I always have a project. And Jimmy, thanks for the encouragement. If you ever make it to Canada, call me and we could have a margarita together.
February may seem like a long ways off but like so often happens in modern life, it will be here before you know it. That’s why it’s important for Greater Vernon residents to think now about how they can help the area host the B.C. Winter Games in 2012. The call has been issued and the task is demanding. Organizers need to find 2,200 volunteers to help stage the event that will bring a couple thousand athletes, coaches and officials to town. This area has successfully rallied the volunteer support to host the Games twice before and we know we have the community spirit and giving nature to pull it off again in style. More than 400 volunteers have already signed up to help the cause and there’s still plenty of time to gather more but that process starts today. The concern is that some positions, like in accommodations, require criminal record checks that can take months to complete. And if accommodations isn’t your first choice, there’s also volunteer opportunities in transportation, promotions, communications, security, special events, sport, Friends of the Games, food services, ceremonies, results and registration and administration and protocol. Surely something for anyone who has the wish to give back to the community in a fun way that helps highlight the area to our guests, as well as a provincial audience on television. To sign up as a volunteer, go to www.2012bcwintergames.ca. And if anyone has some office space to donate to a great cause that benefits us all, call Akbal Mund at 250-550-0388 or Jim McEwan at 250-309-7753.

Road project draws praise
H
aving grown up in Vernon, and having lived here for more than 32 years, a lot has changed in Vernon. Sunday shopping, ATMs, increased traffic volume and an end to the days when you could make a left-turn wherever you desired. Vernon also has some unique traffic difficulties as both Highway 97 and Highway 6 run through the centre of town. Kelowna has taken this approach with growing traffic volume: widen the road. Four lanes, then six lanes, etc. But I am not writing to bash Kelowna. Vernon is growing up. The city has been busy the last few years adding sidewalks to busy streets that have been devoid of sidewalks for more than 30 years. Multi-use pathways, such as the one along Okanagan Landing Road, allow residents to enjoy a stroll or a bicycle ride on their way to the beach, to shopping, or heading downtown. The addition of bicycle lanes all over the city afford some sense of place for nervous cyclists who dared - in the past - to cycle in town, but can now cycle in their own dedicated lane. I live in the Pleasant Valley area. Much of the residential neighborhood was built-up around Harwood Elementary School, which was constructed in 1950. My own home was built in 1959. Harwood Elementary is currently teaching 395 students who use various forms of transportation to arrive at school safely each
OFF COURSE Leave our roads alone. No, wait, fix them. It's not clear to me why certain city planners and councillors are so fixated on roadside bike paths that in many cases, they actually contemplate taking away automobile lanes (as proposed on 43rd Avenue). Take 27th Avenue, north of 41st Street, for example. The bike lane is wide enough for a main battle tank while cars have to weave between potholes with bare inches to spare on the spare section of road reserved for them. Fortunately, there's rarely a cyclist to be seen, so as long as no one is parked in the 20-foot-wide bike path, these hapless motorists can usually swerve in time to avoid breaking an axle. Look, I ride a bike and I occasionally ride downtown. Yes, I find it mildly inconvenient to share the road with motorists, but I also understand that most people use more common-sense transportation, and probably will for the next eon or so. It only makes sense that roads should be designed with motorized traffic in mind. Which leads me to ask why some folks want to actually get rid of vehicle lanes

and every day. Some children are driven to school by their parents who feel it is not safe for their children to walk or bicycle to school, while others take the bus. Harwood has a large number of children that walk to school; nearly 50 per cent, one of the highest rates in the city. Traffic safety is a primary concern for those approximately 200 children who walk to school each day, perhaps with their parents and pre-school aged siblings in tow. Crosswalks across 43rd Avenue were noted as safety concerns, particularly at the 20th Street intersection where many accidents have occurred in recent years. Excessive speed was the primary concern on 20th Street as drivers used it as a high-speed shortcut to Walmart, oblivious to the 30-kilometre-an-hour school zone. Narrowing the road is a common practice to discourage excessive speed and landscaping allows motorists to enjoy the drive. The day when the first phase of the 20th Street upgrade was complete was a beautiful site. I had never seen so many people there. Some were out for a stroll, some were parents teaching their children to ride and bike and a few were skateboarding home. Looking west of Harwood Elementary, where I live on 25th Street, I look forward to a time when our street is as safe, and as beautiful as 20th Street. Bryan Wilson
to accommodate more useless bike paths? I've heard a number of reasons, including the notion that we need a greener city, and that we want to make Vernon more child-friendly. I'm all for greener cities, and as soon as we figure out how to move several metric tons of freight on the back of a 10-speed, I'll help abolish trucks. Cars might be a bit of a problem though, since I've seen a few elderly folks who probably aren't going to be happy about biking around much, and even less so in January. As for child-friendly, not many parents are going to send their kids out on busy downtown roads to play in traffic, are they? If I didn't know better, I'd think this bike path fixation was the the result of a vision of Vernon some folks keep tucked away in the back of their minds. It involves an utopia in which cars and trucks are gone, and the population is happily pedaling its way to perfect health in a smogless, smokeless, water-bottleless nirvana. Here's some advice for the city planners and those city councillors who have hopped on the green bandwagon: stop taking our roads

We have freedom to travel to any country. We have medicines, hospitals, doctors, dentists whenever we need them. We have schools if we want to be educated. We have transportation whichever way you want to travel. We can make money in whatever way you desire. We have homes in whatever style you choose to live in. We have freedom of speech.

HST BLUES Whew! I'm seeing the HST in my sleep. We are being asked to make a decision for or against it. I have to say that my decision won't be hard to make. Every few minutes ,we're bombarded with commercials sponsored by a tax alliance, which in reality is a coalition of big businesses who are spending millions to suggest we vote no, or is it yes? It's pretty confusing. Make no mistake about it, those millions will be well spent should their side win. We hear how the HST will benefit John Q. Public. However, nothing is being said about what the big corporations will receive with all of the exemptions which of course we know very little about because of the conspiracy being perpetuated to keep us ignorant. It's always been my opinion that B.C. Liberals tell us only what they want us to hear, not necessarily being the whole truth, which, as far as I'm concerned, is a lie of omission which is still a lie. I've said it before, and I'm saying it again, anyone that can show me their cost of living has gone down, I'll personally make a public retrac-

Lumby will take some time before deciding whether use of genetically engineered organisms should be discouraged. On Monday, council received a staff report on whether the community should become a genetically modified-free zone. Instead, it will await the outcome of a committee being established in the surrounding electoral area to look at the issue further. “We are going to wait on that decision so the discussion is regional in focus,” said Coun. Janet Green.
The Sustainable Environment Network Society has asked Lumby to become a genetically engineered-free zone, but Green says the village is in a different situation than other local communities. “In Lumby itself, we don’t have any acreages where people would be using the stuff,” she said referring to the residential nature of the village.

Sloppy summer start putting a damper on agriculture KATHY MICHAELS
MORNING STAR FILE PHOTO
Morning Star Staff
A wet summer start is putting a strain on local tree fruit crops.
Mother Nature’s moody skies aren’t just putting a damper on summer fun, they’re hampering the agricultural industry’s attempts to move ahead after a couple tough years. “This time of the year, we’re looking to the sky and wondering what’s in store — it’s always worrisome,” said Joe Sardinha, president of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association. Sardinha had yet to hear of the impact of Sunday’s hail and rain storms, but he pointed out that the apple crops really don’t need any more trouble this year. “They’re sizing well because the trees aren’t under stress,” he said. “But we had one day where temperatures reached into the lower 30s, and the apples weren’t conditioned for hot weather, so there was a little sunburning.” Apples, he explained, aren’t acclimatized due to the heavy cloud cover that’s been over the valley all summer, and that creates the risk. They’re also prone to marking if there’s a heavy storm. While apple farmers are keeping a weathered eye on everything from sun to hail, cherry farmers are also being vigilant. Some Okanagan orchardists have brought in helicopters to dry the cherries following heavy rains while others are waiting patiently for their picking season to come online. “Cherries are worth more and more so they’re worth protecting…although it’s a considerable expense,” Sardinha said of the practice that has a whirly bird fly above crops to blow away water and prevent splitting. “Growers will be on a list, so the cost for the time in the air will be shared by several farmers.”

Duane Vankeimpema Cherries are believed to be growing well so far, but they are anywhere from 10 days to two weeks behind schedule. That’s led to another problem. “We have an abundance of pickers ready to harvest, and they’re having to wait around,” said Sardinha. Those pickers typically come in from Quebec, although Sardinha said there’s a growing number of Mexican labourers waiting around as well. All said and done, it’s another tumultuous year in agriculture, but Sardinha is taking a sunnier approach than the weather. “On the bright side, our crops are in the ground, which is better than what’s happening with prairie farmers who have muddy fields that can’t seed,” he said. “Weather is just weird, for lack of a better word.”
Fruitful 75 years celebrated Morning Star Staff
Apples, cherries, peaches, and many other fruits grown in the Okanagan are blowing out their candles as BC Tree Fruits celebrates a milestone birthday. Seventy-five years ago, on July 21, 1936, a group of dedicated farmers came together with a goal to provide the finest tree fruits worldwide. From that first planted seed grew a co-operative of 800 producers that continues today. The BC Tree Fruits name and iconic leaf logo are a welcome and familiar sight, synonymous with the finest tree fruits to be found on and from the earth. More than just trademark apples, BC Tree Fruits are celebrating the other fruits they produce annually including: pears, cher-
ries, apricots, nectarines, peaches, and prune plums. Each piece of fruit with the trademark leaf logo on it signifies it was grown under BC Tree Fruits strict quality control that has been implemented through the generations of local farmers. “We’re proud to be a leader supplying fresh delicious BC Tree Fruits products throughout Western Canada and thank our loyal consumers for their growing support over the past 75 years,” said Rick Austin, director of sales and marketing for BC Tree Fruits. To celebrate the anniversary, BC Tree Fruits will be hosting a reception in the Okanagan orchard’s back door amongst growers, supporters, families, politicians and media. The event will be hosted
in conjunction with the Kelowna museum and held at the Laurel Packinghouse on Aug. 4 from 5 to 8 p.m. The Kelowna Museum will also have a photo exhibit showcasing BC Tree Fruits and the growers throughout the decades.

Landing ready to celebrate annual regatta RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A North Okanagan tradition is alive and well. The Okanagan Landing Regatta, which goes back to 1910, runs Sunday at Paddlewheel Park. “It’s a family event,” said Victor Cumming, Okanagan Landing Community Association president. “You can participate in games reminiscent of another era.” The fun gets underway with a pancake breakfast from 8 to 11 a.m. and there will also be an all-day concession hosted by the Okanagan Landing Fire Department.
A sand castle building contest runs from 9 to 11 a.m., followed by a dive for sunken treasures from 11 to 11:30 a.m. A bounce-and-play is available for children from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and there will be a colouring contest from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The action then hits the water with dingy boat races and paddlewheel boat construction and races from noon to 1 p.m. Participants can dig into the watermelon eating contest from 1 to 2 p.m. That will be followed by the cardboard boat construction and race from 2:15 to 3:15 p.m. Throughout the day,
“We get a real strong showing from residents.” — Victor Cumming there will be a mural wall, face painting, an antique car show and a display by the Canadian Auxiliary Coast Guard. All of the activities are free to participate in. “The events are fun and easy and everyone goes home with a smile,” said Cumming. The regatta is also a chance to bring the community together. “We get a real strong showing from Landing residents,” said Cumming.
The annual festival also celebrates
Paddlewheel Park. More than 100 years ago, the area now known as the park was the home of ship building and passenger traffic on the lake. In 1971, the association purchased the
decommissioned land and buildings and developed a community park. Among those instrumental in that process was Alan Hill, a former regional district director. “It was a tremendous
decision from those early thinkers,” said Cumming of acquiring the land. “The park is the focal point for the community. It’s heavily used right through the whole year.”

When the 1,200 riders in the RBC Granfondo rolled through Vernon Saturday, they were greeted by 30 army cadets enrolled in the three-week basic sports and fitness course at Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre. Long before the riders even left Kelowna, the cadets were on Dieppe Square helping to set up the tents and traffic cones, slice oranges and bananas, set out energy foods and treats and generally help the organizers prepare for the arrival of the riders. “Part of their training prepares them to plan, organize and participate in a sporting event,” said Lt-Col Lyle Johnson, VACSTC commanding officer. “So this event fits right in with their course requirements.” When the riders began to swing on to the parade square, they were met with cadets carrying jugs filled with water and energy drinks. Cadets who were not actively working with the riders lined up alongside Highway 97 and cheered the riders as they made their way up the steep hill past the camp. For Alpha Training Group training officer Capt. Patti Paul, the morning was an overwhelming success. “The cadets not only had a good time, but they met two of the objectives for their course,” she said. “In addition, they demonstrated one of the major aims of the cadet organization which is developing good citizenship.”

Lake Watch ready to calm waves Morning Star Staff
The Kalamalka Lake Watch and Shuswap River Watch programs have hit the water for the 2011 boating season. The program is a collaborative effort between the VernonNorth Okanagan RCMP Safe Communities Unit, RCMP Marine Section, Transport Canada, Conservation Officer Service, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Regional District of North Okanagan, District of Coldstream, City of Enderby and community members working together to improve boating safety on Kalamalka Lake and the Shuswap River. The program was first implemented on the Shuswap River in 2009 as a result of concerns raised by many area residents and river users about unsafe boating activities. The program provides a reporting structure for all who use the river and lakes to act as eyes and ears for enforcement agencies. Concerned citizens report incidents they observe on the water. Follow up is conducted by the respective agency with the registered owner of the boat reported to be engaged in unsafe activity. Education is the key to this program. The enforcement of existing legislation governing safe boating is used only if warranted. Reports of unsafe boating incidents can also be made directly to the RCMP and the COS. For immediate assistance in an emergency on the Shuswap River and Kalamalka Lake, call 911. For more information, contact Warren Smith, rural programs co-ordinator, VernonNorth Okanagan RCMP Safe Communities Unit, at 250)-550-7843 or at WSmith@vernon.ca.

Cornett-Ching up for Dub 300
NET knocks off Courvas Morning Star Staff
ADAM ROSS/SHON SBARRA Race 101 Media/NASCAR IMC
Sarah Cornett-Ching will realize a dream Saturday night when she straps into the Cruisin’ for a Causesponsored #25 Chevrolet for the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series at the MotoPlex Speedway in Vernon. The Penticton 20-year-old couldn’t believe her ears when NASCAR driver and team owner Jason White of Kamloops called her just a couple of weeks ago about the A&W Cruisin’ The Dub 300. “I wasn’t really sure why Jason White would be calling me,” said Cornett-Ching. “When he said he might have an opportunity to drive one of his cars at MotoPlex Speedway I was blown away. The short time since then has been surreal.” White and his partner Rob Zimmer entered a Cruisin’ for a Cause car driven by his brother Jim White in 2010. This year he chose to offer the ride to Cornett-Ching. “Cruisin’ for a Cause is an Cornett-Ching important event for my main marketing partner A&W Restaurants,” said White. “I’ve watched Sarah for a couple of years now. She works as hard away from the track as she does on the track, and I know she’ll do a great job as an ambassador for the sport and for the charity event.” On Aug. 25, A&W hopes to raise $1 million for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada. All 738 A&W restaurants nationwide will donate $1 from the sale of every Teen Burger to the MS society. Cornett-Ching feels ready to tackle the challenge of a NASCAR stock car and the responsibility of representing a worthy cause. The charismatic welder by trade is an accomplished race car driver who also studies in an educational program called RACE 101 for aspiring racers. “I was awarded a scholarship to attend RACE 101 in North Carolina this year,” said Cornett-Ching. “The program has taught me a great deal about race cars, but I’ve also learned a lot about marketing and promoting sponsors.” Cornett-Ching progressed this year from street stock race cars to the ARCA West OK Tire series which travels throughout B.C., racing at various speedways. She has scored a few top-five finishes and turned plenty of heads with her charitable work. Cornett-Ching visited the B.C. Children’s Hospital to spend time with the kids and share stories of her racing endeavours.

The Outlaws cut the lead to one on a scramble in front of the Concept net. With 10 minutes left, the Outlaws were awarded a penalty shot, but missed the net. Minutes later, Shane Whitley sealed things with a shot from 35 yards out that dipped just under the crossbar. The Davidson & Company Dynamite FC shut down the Revelstoke Stallions 2-0
at Marshall #5. Torin Hampton and Bryndon Buckham scored for the Dynamite (6-3-2), who got a superb showing from their defence in the second half, in the face of gale force winds, as Revelstoke pressed. Vernon’s visiting Monashee Surveying bowed 4-1 to Salmon Arm’s Nation of Domination Eagle Homes. Alberto Lopez scored for the Surveyors (4-6-1). Eagle Homes improved to 7-4.

The North Enderby Timber brushed back Salmon Arm Courvas 3-1 in North Okanagan Men’s Soccer League action Wednesday night at Marshall Field #3. The first-place Timber (10-2-1) opened the scoring against their arch-rivals six minutes in when Corey Wallis took control of the ball on the left flank. Wallis fired a pass in the direction of Brent Poulsen. The Courvas defender attempted to intercept but bobbled the ball and coughed it up to Poulsen who took several touches before rifling a leftfooted cracker from 22 yards out to beat the keeper bottom left. Just two minutes later, the Timber converted again after a fancy give and go between Wallis and Graham Ross. Wallis received the pass, touched the ball past a defender, broke in on goal from the left wing, and curled the ball with his right foot to the short post. In the 32nd minute, the Timbermen got a spectacular goal from center midfield scoring ace Devin Janke. He danced from the corner flag towards the goal and around two defenders before pulling out his lob wedge and dropping the ball just under the cross bar, far post. Courvas were awarded a controversial penalty kick in the 76th minute after a foul was called on youngster Bryn Knauf. Keeper Danny Stein guessed right but just missed the ball to give Courvas a freebie. “We had strong play by all,” said NET stopper Chris Ovens. “Anytime we got in trouble, we played the ball safely backwards and built momentum from there. Our scoring started from the back line, and from there, we utilized the entire pitch.” Concept Physio of Vernon pulled out a 5-3 win over the host Salmon Arm Outlaws. The 0-10 Outlaws added a couple of new players to their roster and came out on fire, catching Concept Physio off guard and grabbing a 2-0 lead minutes into the first half. Concept Physio managed to find their stride and built up a 4-2 lead on goals by Justin Mundziakiewiecz and a hat trick by goalie-turned-striker Mitchel Wolsey. Concept Physio (5-6) should have put the game out of reach numerous times, but

Rain and cold seemed to spark the Okanagan Seasons Sista’s Tuesday night as they upset the Shuswap Merlot 2-1 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division play at Marshall Field #5. Both teams battled back and forth with precision passing, great positional play and plenty of goal scoring opportunities. The 2-10-1 Sista’s started the first half with a new game plan inspired by co-coach Shawn Wiebe, confusing for the first few minutes until they quickly caught on and were an offensive threat, dominating most of the play. Leslie Williams made a great short pass to Kim Sylvester outside the 18 and Sylvester made another short pass to Andrea Zubot, who blasted a hard low drive at the Merlot keeper who could not handle the skipping ball. Later in the half, Sylvester made a rush along the back line deking towards the net and fed a nice low pass to charging Andrea Zubot from the top of the 18 and Zubot buried a one-timer. Injury struck recently acquired Michelle Niles, who was playing outstanding outside defender, in the first half and forced the Sista’s to make adjustments with no subs. Injured players Pam Zalcik and Coco Fair shared goalkeeper duties and Zalcik filled in on the back line for Niles. With the 6-6-2 Merlot pressing hard, Giselle Duquette, Sherry Wiebe, Keri Storey and Lisa Geary stepped it up a notch defensively saving the day several times in the second half. Fair made dramatic saves a few times late in the game but could not stop an own goal by Wiebe trying to clear the ball out of trouble. The Vernon Square Liquor Store NOU and Setter’s Pub of Salmon Arm battled to a scoreless draw at Marshall Field #3. NOU enjoyed lots of attacks from Sarah Kwantes and Mel Jacobs while going to 5-7-2. Speedy striker (Lean) Lena Dean was called offside a few times. Kwantes and Dar Wiese shared the shutout for NOU, who received a strong effort from outside defenders Tania Willett and Shelly Johnston. The centre was well run by calendar girl Karen Benn and Pat Neilson, while stellar centre half support was turned in by Teresa Collins and Carla Gibson. Outside midfielder Char McNaught brought balls to the ground continuously after trapping, controlling and holding the ball to create perfect passes up the sides to the waiting Dean, Jacobs and Wendy Stevens. Second-place Setter’s went to 9-1-4. The Vernon Controllers moved to within one point of second place by ambushing the last-place Shuswap Kaos 6-0 at Marshall #1. Jenny Currie and Jacquie Nuyens weaved their magic, leaving Nuyens with a tap-in for the first goal. Jody Pope, after watching the FIFA Women’s World Cup final shootout in Germany two days prior, was called upon for a penalty shot. Pope calmly drove it off the bar and in, for a 2-0 lead.

Sarah Cornett-Ching relaxes by her Aaron’s car as she waits for racing action to begin. “Canadian Tire has been so good to our race team and is so deserving of a championship,” Steckly said. “We’re going to do everything in our power to make it happen.” There is not a specific reason for the success at the 7,500-seat MotoPlex, according to Steckly. “It’s a great track to race. The surface is good. The lights are good. There’s little to not like,” said Steckly. “I think we’ve earned our success there, but it’s probably more circumstance than anything. I doubt we have something figured out there that no one else does.” Secrets or not, it will be a long shot for anyone to make a sizeable dent in Steckly’s points lead before the series heads to Saskatoon, Sask., for a Wednesday date at Auto Clearing Motor Speedway for its second event in a five-day span. Qualifying goes at 5:30 p.m. followed by an autograph session at 6:30 and racing at 8. The race will be shown on TSN Saturday, July 30 at 11 a.m. (Pacific).

“Sarah has all the qualities anyone needs to make a career in racing,” said White. “This will be a great experience for her, and you never know where it could lead. All anyone wants in our sport is the opportunity to make an impression.” Cornett-Ching had hoped to find a ride in the support division during the A&W Cruisin’ the Dub 300 race. Finding herself in the main event wasn’t on the radar. “It’s amazing how things can change in a short time,” said Cornett-Ching. “Three weeks ago I was planning to go and watch the race. I had hoped to get a ride in the support class, but this is far beyond anything I had in mind.” This is the first of a two-race swing to Western Canada, and the fifth straight season the series has visited the half-mile track. For those chasing Scott Steckly in the championship point standings heading west to Vernon, it is not good news. The half-mile tri-oval is perhaps Steckly’s strongest track. In four starts there, the Milverton, Ont. driver has a win and three second-place showings. The victory came last season as he beat out eventual NASCAR Canadian Tire Series champion D.J. Kennington. Steckly pocketed $10,500 for the win. He was about 300 yards from the win in 2007 as he and J.R. Fitzpatrick came out of turn four side-by-side, but Fitzpatrick was able to get a nose in front at the line to win by a scant .029. Steckly finished second to Don Thomson Jr. in 2008 and Andrew Ranger in 2009. Steckly, the 2008 series champion, has a 92-point advantage on Kennington and has finished inside the top-five in all five races this season, including a win in the season opener at Mosport Speedway in Bowmanville, Ont. He is looking to bring Canadian Tire its first title after Steckly picked up the sponsorship in 2009 from Peter Gibbons.

Tigers end season on high note Morning Star Staff
It came down to the last game, but the Vernon Tigers earned their first .500 season in three years. Robbie Short and Shane Sargent each fired a pair of goals as the Cats iced the Kamloops Rattlers 6-5 in the Okanagan X-treme Lacrosse League regular-season finale Wednesday night at Wesbild Centre. Tanner Skolrood and junior call-up Brennan Plante each chipped in with singles as Vernon rallied from a 3-1 firstperiod deficit. They led 5-3 after 40 minutes. Cats’ netminder Glen Clissold was steady in collecting second-star honours behind Sargent. “It was a very good game; fast paced and hard hitting on both sides,” said Tigers’ head coach Lawrie Skolrood. Vernon finished tied with the Armstrong Shamrocks for second place at 6-6. “To actually have some wins under our belt, it feels good,” said Vernon assistant coach Steve Latimer, who credited callups Plante, Jay Seaton, Braden Barr and Theo Wagner for playing
solid games. The Rocks will hold home-floor advantage in a best-of-three Shaw Cup semifinal series with the Tigers, as they won the season series 3-1. They host Game 1 Tuesday night at NorVal Sports Centre. “It’s always a good series when we play Armstrong. It’s great for the fans, and with it being so close, it’s great for our players,” said Skolrood. “It’ll be a good test. If we can handle Armstrong, we can take a run at (the winner of the Kelowna RaidersRattlers semi).” Said Shamrocks’ netminder Chad Pieper: “Armstrong and Vernon in the playoffs, it doesn’t get better than that. Vernon has improved their game very well this season, so we will have to be at the top of our game to knock them off.” Asked what the difference in the Tigers’ play has been this season, Latimer replied: “Back to basics. It’s a fairly simple game – you catch, you pass, you shoot. “Glen has been terrific in net for us, and guys have been playing

The Kamloops Sun Devils will tangle with the Jays at 2 p.m. before the D-backs go up against Kamloops at 5 p.m. “Ryan Boe will get the start for the D-Backs against Kelowna while Peter Ortman is the probable starter against Kamloops,” said Vernon manager Kyle Anderson. The semifinal (if necessary) and final will take place on Sunday (final scheduled for 1 p.m.). Fans are encouraged to come out and support the Diamondbacks, who would like to thank sponsors Kal Sports Bar, Sun FM, Sun Valley Source for Sports, and A&W for their support this season.

NOTEBOOK
Kris Blanks of Georgia carded a 3-under par 67 for the clubhouse lead in the first round of the RBC Canadian Open Thursday at Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club in Vancouver. Blanks, 28, shot nines of 32 and 35 with two birdies, and holed out from the green-side bunker for an eagle on the par-5 seventh hole on the front. Vernon’s Chris Baryla produced a 4-over-74 with nines of 37-37. The 28-year-old VSS Panther grad recorded two birdies and six bogeys. Baryla averaged 307yard drives and finished with 29 putts. With several players still on the course at presstime, Blanks held a one-stroke margin over five players, including Canadian Mark McQuillan, a 30-yearold Kingston product. South Africa legend Ernie Els was also one stroke back.

STAFF FAVOURITES
HIDDEN TREASURES
I am a young, active guy and healthy living is forefront in every aspect of my life. Ever since I was 5 years old I have played every sport I could with little regard for the health of my body. I have a preference for playing contact sports but after having multiple surgeries on my knees I came to the sad realization that I would have to change my activities. My knees were never the same after surgery and every time I would try to go for a run I would be in pain after five minutes. Working in the natural health industry I am constantly hearing about new products and research, and was recently introduced to Fast Joint Care from Genuine Health. What caught my attention was that I only had to take one a day and that it was a whole food supplement. The active ingredient in Fast Joint Care is Eggshell Membrane - trust me, I know it sounds odd at first but Eggshell Membrane is the only known material that naturally contains collagen, glucosamine, chondroitin, and other rebuilding proteins. The claim on the box is pain relief within 7-10 days - big claim! However, after taking Fast Joint Care for a week I started to notice less pain and now after a few months the discomfort in my knees is gone! I can now run five kilometers pain free and I never worry about my knees while I’m playing volleyball throughout the week. Fast Joint Care is one of my favourite products, and because of it, I can once again live the active lifestyle that I love.

Band makes time for Rarearth festival Morning Star Staff
Vancouver-based Delhi 2 Dublin is bringing its unique sound to Vernon’s Rarearth Music Fest. The band (Tarun Nayar, Sanjay Seran, Andrew Kim and Ravi Binning along with new members Jaron Freeman-Fox and Sara Fitzpatrick) takes to the stage at Silver Star Mountain Resort Sunday at 8:15 p.m. Delhi 2 Dublin’s latest album, Planet: Electrified, was released May 3. Planet: Electrified is the re-imagination of the band’s last album, Planet: Electric, and it showcases the remix work of many of the band’s favourite producers. The result is a new sound for Delhi 2 Dublin, venturing into electro-house, techno and drum ‘n’ bass. “We love it. It’s amazing to hear tracks we’re so familiar with done in a totally different way,� said band member Tarun
Nayar. “We’re also really happy to be collaborating with some of our heroes - from world electronica legend Gaudi to tropical hipster Poirier to U.K.-based drum ‘n’ bass heads Shiva Soundsystem.� The album also features Canadian producers, DJ RSK aka sonicanimation (Rossland), Kashoo (Nelson) and Adham Shaikh (Nelson). There is also a brand new track called Give It Away, the result of working with two fiddle players. The song is a departure for Delhi 2 Dublin and features big booming 808s, a string section and Punjabi, Heer Ranjha lyrics. The Rarearth Music Fest takes place at Silver Star Saturday and Sunday. Single and two-day passes are available online at www.rarearthmusic.com, or at the Bean Scene at 250-558-1817.

Singer makes stop in Lumby Morning Star Staff
Amy Cunningham will be performing Saturday and Sunday at the second annual Wild Salmon Festival at the Freedom Flight Park near Lumby. Cunningham is a Canadian musician and performer with 10 years experience as a professional, and a passion for singing and performing strait from her soul. She is travelling with a hot fiddle player and banjo player. In the fall of 2010, Cunningham began recording her first commercially available album entitled To the Stars We’ll Return produced by talented Vancouver Island local, Corwin Fox. It features the beautiful Dobro (guitar) stylings of Doug Cox and percussion and saxophones by Jake Jenne, along with a slew of other talented B.C. musicians. It has just been released and will be available at the festival. In her younger years, she would sit in the front seat with her dad and sing her heart out along with James Taylor, Eric Clapton, Carole King, and Tom Cochrane. Cunningham comes from a family of musicians, and her grandfather is an accomplished guitar player who would sit
in with acts such as Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash when they toured through Toronto. “All of our family gatherings involved grandpa and dad on guitar, and the rest of us singing. My cousins and brother and I were all inspired to pick up instruments born of that influence,” said Cunningham. Writing and performing for as long as she remembers, Cunningham fronted a popular local band in the Niagra region during her university years. She would play sold-out shows for enthusiastic audiences every week sharing the stage with many talented musicians, and opening for acts like Jeremy Fisher, Sam Roberts, and Craig Cardiff. “When Amy sings, people stop and listen. I have seen it many times, in many different places. There’s a hold that her voice has on people," said former band-mate Rachel McBride. “There’s something about its purity and soul that makes you want to listen and connect with her.” While writing her masters degree thesis, she was drawn west. “I was blessed to do some of my data collection in Vancouver
and Hawaii. I studied the facilitation of group drumming; these amazing people who shared their spirits and taught people that everyone can create music in some capacity,” she said. “I had always wished others could experience how great it feels to make music with others, and I tapped into this wonderful community that was dedicated to teaching others to let go, play, and connect to themselves and each other through music.” Cunningham facilitates and teaches hand drumming to the youth groups she works with, and loves watching the barriers come down. “My mom says I was singing before I was talking. I don’t remember ever deciding to be a musician, it was just always pouring out of me,” she said passionately. “Music is in me, and it pretty much always wants out.” It is obvious that this is a dream that Cunningham has been living and moving toward her whole life. At the same time there is a fresh feeling that she’s only just begun. The Wild Salmon Festival runs from today to Sunday. Go to www.wildsalmonfestival.ca.

Komasket adds more hip-hop to lineup Morning Star Staff
The Komasket Music Festival has dug up another popular ‘90s hip hop group to play at this year’s event on the west side of Okanagan Lake July 29 to 31. Following in the footsteps of 2009, when Atlanta hip hop collective Arrested Development headlined Komasket, this year, New York’s Digable Planets is scheduled to perform. Originally made up of members Ishmael “Butterfly” Butler, Craig “Doodlebug” Irving, and Mary Ann “Ladybug Mecca” Vieira, Digable Planets is back on the scene with their alterna-
tive jazz, hip hop fusion. Although, original member Ladybug Mecca is no longer with group, the two remaining members continue to tour with other female MCs to represent the female energy that has always been a core element of the group. Recently performing alongside hip-hop group The Pharcyde at the North by Northeast music festival in Toronto, Digable Planets is probably best known for its 1993 debut recording, Reachin’ (A New Refutation of Time and Space). The album’s lead single, Rebirth of Slick (Cool
Like Dat) became a crossover hit, peaking at #15 on Billboard Magazine’s Hot 100 singles chart, earning gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America and winning a Grammy award for best rap performance by a duo or group. The group’s second album, Blowout Comb, released in 1994, departed from its debut by featuring appearances from outside artists, such as rappers Jeru the Damaja and Guru of Gang Starr fame. The album, meant to raise awareness and funds in support of the AIDS epidemic in
relation to the AfricanAmerican community, was heralded as album of the year by Time Magazine. The trio subsequently broke up after Ladybug Mecca, now known as Lady Mecca, left the group. A retrospective album, Beyond the Spectrum: the Creamy Spy Chronicles, was released in 2005, mixing previously released material with remixes
and B-sides. Since 2009, Digable Planets’ Doodlebug and Butterfly have toured across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Backed by a live band, Doodlebug’s Cosmic Funk Orchestra, and often with Butterfly’s Shabazz Palaces or hip hop duo Camp Lo as the supporting act, they continue to pack live concert venues around the globe with nostalgic old school, hip hop lovers and a new generation of fans.
Digable Planets will take the Mountain Stage at Komasket Music Festival July 30 at 11:30 p.m. Also scheduled to perform that night are Canadian First Nation artists George Leach, Buffy St. Marie, South Africa’s Nkulee Dube, and Australia’s OKA among others. For a full weekend schedule visit komasketmusicfestival. com. Weekend passes are
available at the Ticket Seller in the Performing Arts Centre (250-5497469, www.ticketseller. ca) and the Bean Scene coffee house.

Christopher Robin has the gang on the hunt for a mysterious creature, etc.... again, I think we’ve seen these stories before – and wouldn’t you know it? They hold up. There are contemporary elements in place that give Winnie The Pooh some updated gloss – John Cleese is the narrator, Craig Ferguson is the voice of Owl, and Zooey Deschanel performs a few numbers for the bouncy soundtrack – but none of those things steal much of the spotlight or detract from the film’s charm. The focus remains on cozy, warm nostalgia. And no 3-D effect can beat that. The feature is currently playing at Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

First book gets attention CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
When people find out that Rod Power has just had a book published, the next question is often, “What’s your book about?” He has to stop and think to answer that. “The publisher had to open a new imprint for Shadow of Light — spiritual thriller,” he said. Power, a native of Newfoundland, served in the Canadian Corps of Engineers, and later worked as a professional land surveyor and consultant which took him to jobs around the world. He brings his own life experiences, his spiritual life as a practising Roman Catholic, his wide-ranging interests, and his creative strengths to the book. Rod Power Mark Buchanan, one of Canada’s top spiritual writers, describes the book as almost beyond description, writing: “Shadow of Light is a heady mix of metaphysics and astrophysics, theology and quantum science, end-of-the-world apocalypse and madcap comic romance, all served up in a great bouillabaisse that is part thriller, part science fiction, part mystery, but mostly good old-fashioned story telling. Mr. Power is aptly named: he casts a potent spell from the first page and doesn’t break it until well past the last one.” Gordon Pinsent, actor, author and playwright, who read the book, wrote to Power. “Shadow of Light is a terrific story. I will read it again, just for the joy of it.” The story starts when an angel moves in with an American family with his own agenda for earthly and heavenly matters. The angel, Sarius, comes to believe that the end of the world is near and that it is his responsibility to avert it, even forcing an audience with God. Sarius continues his attempts to save the world in a struggle of unprecedented proportions. Power has based what could happen at the end of the world on scientific possibility. “But, as indicated at the beginning of the story, science is science and miracles are miracles, and never the twain shall meet,” said Power, who first of all wants to tell a good story filled with faith and hope. “I love the writing process. I’ve been around the world a few times and I’ve seen a few things and that’s part of my writing. I do believe there is angelic intervention in the lives of people. Most
STORK REPORT
Rod Power describes his book, Shadow of Light, as a spiritual thriller. people who have seen the book so far tell me they like it and they find it quite humourous as well as being an amazing story. The characters surprised me sometimes, they did things I didn’t know they would do,” said Power, who now lives in Vernon. He has been asked to do a preliminary movie script from the book but does not know what will happen with that yet. Power has written six manuscripts — some are thrillers set in the Middle East, Africa and South America — and Shadow of Light is the first to be published. Shadow of Light is currently available as an e-book from Amazon and Barnes and Noble. A print version will be released in September. For more information see www.rodneychristianpower.com.
Healthy teeth make a happy smile CAROL GULLIFORD Special to The Morning Star
Did you know that tooth decay can start as early as one year of age? A tooth is at risk for tooth decay as soon as it appears. Even though baby teeth fall out, they do have an important role to play while they are there. Baby teeth help children eat well and speak clearly. They also help form the jaw and hold the space for the adult teeth to grow in the right way. There are a number of things simple things parents can do to keep tooth decay away: ■ Avoid passing germs on to your child. Babies are not born with germs that can cause tooth decay but these germs can be passed from parents/caregivers to baby.

Licking a soother, sharing a toothbrush or a spoon all have the potential to pass germs on to your child. ■ Start taking care of your child’s mouth early. Use a clean, wet face cloth to gently wipe your baby’s gums once a day to keep their mouth clean and healthy. When teeth appear, even if there are only one or two teeth, use a soft baby-sized toothbrush and a rice-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste twice a day, morning and bedtime, to gently brush away decaycausing germs and food debris. At three years of age, increase the amount of fluoride toothpaste to the size of a pea. ■ Limit milk and juice to regular meal and snack times. Frequent sipping on
juice, milk, formula and sweetened drinks throughout the day can increase your child’s risk for tooth decay. Never put baby to bed with a bottle that contains these liquids. Use plain water to quench thirst between meals. ■ Food matters too! Keep to fresh vegetables and fruits, dairy products, grains, and meat/meat alternatives for meal and snack times. Avoid snack foods that are sweet and sticky. ■ Finally, visit the dentist at least once a year. The Canadian Dental Association recommends baby’s first dental visit to be six months after the first tooth appears, usually by age one. Carol Gulliford is dental program consultant with Interior Health.

Kids get back to nature at camp Morning Star Staff
Organizers of Cedar Bridge Farm School (CBFS) summer camps hope kids will go home with happy memories of “what I did this summer.” CBFS is offering a variety of week-long day camps with different themes that organizers hope will have kids talking for months. The programs are designed to get kids participating, and there is something for everyone: farm and garden activities, games and yoga, children’s theatre, teepee building and much more. Activities are designed to keep the kids moving, thinking and having fun. The day camps feature week-long programs for children aged six to 12 and run until the end of August. In the natural surroundings of the farm, forest and creek, the children learn, play, create and have fun in this back-to-nature, country get-away. For more information on programs and for registration, call the school at 250-547-9212 or see the website at www. cedarbridgeschool.org. Cedar Bridge Farm School’s regular programs are taking registration as well: Parent and Child is for children up to three years of age; a two-hour morning introduction to the rhythms and seasonal celebrations of the Kinderhouse. Parent and Child is an opportunity to meet other families and takes place Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Yearly program consists of a 12-week fall ses-

Send her a note saying, “We were delighted to award you the Women’s Scholarship last spring. We would very much like to be kept informed of your progress, so please let us know how you are doing.” Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Wondering,” who was asked to return her parents’ nativity set to her brother. Both of my parents have passed, and we adult children all enjoy the memories of Christmases with Mom and Dad. We, too, have a special nativity set that has sentimental value to all of us. Our solution is to share it. Each year, a different sibling gets to use the set as part of their Christmas decorations. When it comes time to take down the tree, we pack up the nativity set and send it along to the next person, and so on.

They make ends meet because they carefully saved over the years. The problem is my younger sister, who went through a difficult divorce several years ago. “Donna” hasn’t worked much since then, and Mom and Dad are paying nearly all of her expenses. If my parents were to need assisted living, I worry it could be a major hardship. Donna shows no signs of looking for full-time work.

The origins of the Chinook language seller share a common language, and so a language of trade, comprising the simplest terms of expression, evolved. The earliest fur traders adapted and added to that common language so that the French “joual” of the Quebecers and Metis fur traders and the English of the Ken Mather Yorkshiremen and Orkney Islanders found their way into the mix. When the earliest missionaries, settlers and drovers arrived, they encountered a complete language that could be spoken to natives or whites anywhere in B.C. Even though its grammar and vocabulary were limited, the new language displayed a flexibility and power of expression that met every need of normal conversation. Most of the earliest cowboys were of native or mixed-blood origin so it was only natural that Chinook become the most commonly spoken language of the ranches in the interior.

Winter flights soar Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan residents will be able to soar to sunny destinations this winter. Kelowna International Airport has announced its winter flight schedule, including non-stop service to Phoenix, Las Vegas and the Mexican cities of Mazatlan, Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta and Cancun. “We are really pleased to be offering two new destinations to Phoenix and Mazatlan while still maintaining our regular winter hot spots and increasing the number of available seats this winter season,” said Sam Samaddar, airport director. “It’s also important to note that the final stop doesn’t have to be these destinations. Each of the airports we fly to is a great access point to so many other destinations.” WestJet will be flying scheduled service from Kelowna to Phoenix beginning Oct. 31 until April 30 every Monday. Beginning Nov. 1, WestJet will offer non-stop service twice a week on Tuesday and Saturday to Las Vegas. This will run until April 30. WestJet is offering seasonal scheduled service once a week to each Cancun, Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas from Nov. 1 to April 30. Starting Dec. 17, Transat Holidays/Nolitours begins weekly charters to Puerto Vallarta and Cancun. New this winter will be a Thursday weekly Sunwing charter to Mazatlan starting Nov. 10 and running through to mid-May.
It remained the main form of communication between natives and whites until well after the turn of the century. As one early settler observed: “In those early days we in British Columbia, were more or less a bi-lingual race. The custom’s officer on the wharf at New Westminster, pointing to some baggage, would say to some newlyarrived immigrant just
off the boat from San Francisco, ‘Are these your “iktas”?’ (things), and the schoolboys at play would shout, ‘Klosh nanich,’ instead of ‘Look out.’ The children did not go to school to learn Chinook, they grew up with it.” Joseph Richter, the son of Frank Richter and his Similkameen wife, Lucy, spoke the language fluently. “At first our only
neighbours were Similkameen Indians. We often hired them to help in the fields or on the range. Fluency in Chinook jargon was necessary and I learned to understand but not to speak the Okanagan tongue. On one occasion, when I was trading deer hides for buckskin gloves I heard the klootchman say to her husband in Okanagan, “These are very good skins.” But when he
turned to me he said in Chinook, “Yaka skin tenas kloshe” (skins not much good). “Oh” [I] said, “Your klootchman just told you they were good skins.” After that I got the trade I expected.” Some common words for the cowboy speaker of Chinook included: kiuatan – horse moosmoos – cattle, buffalo klootchman moos-
moos – cow kamooks – dog lemel – mule callipeen – rifle/ musket lope – rope lewhet – whip seapo – hat siskiyou – a bobtailed horse kishkish – to drive tupso – grass lamonti – mountain stick shoes – boots Ken Mather is curator at O’Keefe Ranch in Spallumcheen.

arly B.C. cowboys were allegedly masters of three languages, English, Chinook and profane. It was no exaggeration to say that, west of the Rocky Mountains, throughout the Pacific Northwest, the common language spoken by the Native people and the early settlers was Chinook, a language that consisted of a mixture of native dialects, French and English. Long before European contact, the native people of the northwest spoke dozens of distinct and unique languages. In the area of present-day British Columbia, there were at least 30 languages, not including different dialects within the languages. Native people had traded for countless centuries before the explorers and fur traders arrived and it was not unusual to find sea shells and oolican grease far inland from the coastal areas where they were obtained. Trading is always easier when buyer and

When weather becomes climate
M
y summer road trip to the Interior began as soon as the Trans-Canada Highway reopened at Chilliwack. The crew had worked through the night to clear a mudslide studded with rocks the size of Smart cars, along with a couple of actual cars. We headed up the historic canyon route from Hope to Yale to Cache Creek, the Fraser River still surging a month after it should have settled back. At Ashcroft, river rafters bravely bobbed on the brown torrent. The Williams Lake Stampede went ahead between rain showers, bull riders benefiting from soft conditions while barrel racers struggled. We drove to Prince George and then Vanderhoof, the geographical centre of B.C., where the Nechako River looked ready to climb out of its banks. As we arrived news came that all this thundering water had done its work, toppling a hydroelectric tower at Surrey, briefly closing the Trans-Canada Highway again. One family member
was unable to come down from Chetwynd for a visit. He was cut off by a staggering 16 washouts of Highway 97 north of Prince George in the Pine Pass, which winds through the Hart Range. This stretch of road has long been a contender for the most extreme mountain conditions in B.C., but one night of torrential rain tore it Tom Fletcher up beyond anything seen in my lifetime. This pass is the only road link from southern B.C. to the vast Northeast. The rains would keep coming around Dawson Creek and Fort St. John, disrupting farms, natural gas development, a coal mine and a wind farm with floods and washouts. The transportation ministry and its contractors had a winding track open through the Pine Pass construction zone within days, an amazing effort to restore essential freight traffic into the region that has emerged as B.C.’s main economic engine. But reconstruction will likely take the rest of the summer. We were back in
B.C. VIEWS
District supports basin water board Morning Star Staff
Support continues for a valley-wide program focused on water stewardship. The Regional District of Central Okanagan has reaffirmed endorsement of the Okanagan Basin Water Board water management program. “Since the program was initially endorsed in 2009, it has completed a $3-million water supply and demand assessment, developed a water use reporting tool to track major water extractions from Okanagan lakes and streams and developed a groundwater bylaws toolkit to help local governments protect their aquifers,” said Bruce Smith, RDCO communications co-ordinsator. “The (RDCO) board will also send a letter to the Ministry of Environment reaffirming support for and the importance of the OBWB’s milfoil control and harvesting program.” The North Okanagan and OkanaganSimilkameen regional districts will also be asked for their continued support of the Okanagan Basin Water Board.
Victoria by the time the Fraser River finally crested at the Mission gauge after six weeks of high water, its latest peak since 1920. During the trip, gasoline prices reached a high of $1.31, nudged up slightly by the latest increase in the carbon tax as well as political turmoil overseas. This is B.C.’s largely symbolic nod to the concern that extreme weather events are accelerating
due to huge consumption of fossil fuels and emissions of greenhouse gases. I’ve been careful not to make any sweeping statements about the evolving science of climate change. But the sheer power of recent weather events, and the scars left by bark beetles and fires, are difficult to ignore. Australia has just taken bolder steps than those of B.C., impos-
ing a carbon tax on the country’s 500 largest carbon emitters. The government proposes to collect the revenues for three years and invest them in renewable energy, transition for coal and steel industries and tax cuts for consumers who will have industrial carbon taxes passed on to them in the price of goods. Then the Australian carbon tax is supposed to convert to an emis-
sions trading system designed to push industry into a cleaner future. B.C.’s carbon tax doesn’t exempt industry as its critics sometimes claim. The tax is imposed on all fuels used in industry, but hasn’t been extended to industrial process emissions. By far the largest greenhouse gas source in B.C. remains vehi-
cles, at around 40 per cent of the total. s !NOTHER HIGHLIGHT of the trip was the visible resurgence of the forest industry. May’s trade figures show B.C. lumber sales to China have surpassed the U.S. for the first time.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder Which suit should you play first? Friedrich Nietzsche said, “The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.” The disadvantage of a bad memory is that one makes the same mistake again and thinks it was for the first time. Some players would make a mistake in this deal and perhaps not realize they had erred. How do those players declare in three notrump and what should they have done? The first trick goes heart seven, two, jack, queen. With a low doubleton and just enough points for game, use Stayman. If North-
South had a 4-4 spade fit, four spades would often be a better contract than three no-trump. South starts with five top tricks: two spades, two hearts (given trick one) and one diamond. And looking at those lovely diamonds, many players would immediately take a diamond finesse. However, when the finesse loses and a heart comes back, suddenly the contract has no chance. With only eight winners, declarer must play a club, but West takes the trick and cashes one heart winner too many. Yes, it is unlucky that hearts are 5-3, the diamond finesse loses, and West has the club ace, but South erred. At trick two, he should have
played a club. Suppose West takes the trick and leads a heart. Declarer ducks, takes the next heart, and runs the diamond nine. The finesse loses, but East does not have a heart left (and if he did, the suit would be 4-4 and South would lose only two hearts, one diamond and one club).

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Something over which you have no control could turn out to be much better than you dared hope. Do what you can to make the most of it, the moment you hear about it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Lady Luck must like you, because she’s arranging for you to take part in something that is pretty special. It’s an arrangement that is already producing positive results. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Don’t hesitate to join any type of collective endeavor, whether it’s just getting involved with friends for an outing or investing in a joint undertaking. You’ll be fortunate in such activities. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Act immediately on any bright ideas you get regarding ways to further your ambitions and aspirations. Your perceptions will be worthy of prompt and pervasive action. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Regardless of what the odds are, think “win� on your participation in a competitive involvement. It doesn’t matter if what you are doing is a sport, a romance or a business deal. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Don’t hesitate to move things around a bit if you think it would help better your lot in life. Any changes you make at this time could have excellent, far-reaching results. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Because your thoughts are likely to be focused on what you can do to please others, companions will
find you a most delightful person to be around and do things with. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) It pays to be observant about economic and/ or career opportunities. Something quite substantial could come out of a participation in one or both of these areas. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Don’t hesitate to speak up and suggest something fun to do over the weekend. Chances are your ideas will be better than most, and will be ones that everyone would enjoy doing. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Normally most financial tips you get aren’t that spectacular, but someone might share some information with you that few are privy to. At the least, it’s worthy of investigation. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) It isn’t unusual for you to sometimes enjoy involvements that are more verbal than physical, so getting together with friends for a long-winded chat could be just the ticket.

Todd was born and raised in Edmonton,Alberta,with 3 brothers. He went from high school to NAIT, graduating in Computer Electronics.He held a wide variety of interesting jobs in his earlier years and then settled into a career in computer technology. He loved to travel and had been to Europe, South America, Mexico, California,Central America, including several trips to Belize,as well as spending many years mountain biking, downhill and cross-country skiing and hiking in the mountains of Alberta/B.C. He was an avid cyclist, runner, kayaker and loved fishing. Todd was a talented stone carver and his sculptures were on display in a gallery in Kelowna at one point. Smart, and a lover of science fiction, he also loved to laugh: the antics of the 3 stooges never failed to crack him up with laughter. He was an avid music lover and could always impress with his knowledge of musicians and their songs. Todd moved from Edmonton to Vernon B.C., where he lived for 5 years, before moving to Mayne Island in 2002, where he built a cozy house. Todd is predeceased by his brother Ron Warawa (1966) and father Fred Warawa (1995). Missing this wonderful man and left to mourn his passing are his common-law spouse of 20 years, Carol Alexander (Mayne Island) his beloved son Joel Warawa (Briane, Edmonton) brothers Glenn Warawa (Edmonton/ Belize), Mike Warawa (Kamloops/Belize), mother Eleanor Warawa (Edmonton), aunt June Mitchell (Vernon, B.C.), all of Carols immediate and extended family, many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends/clients. Todd would want those of us who knew him to live our lives to the fullest, with laughter, gratitude for each day and respect for each others uniqueness on this planet we all call home.
