Horror feature ready to shoot RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A helicopter hovers over Vernon’s Bella Vista Farm Market Thursday in an attempt to push rain off the cherry crop.
Rain forces drastic action RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Unprecedented efforts are underway to save the North Okanagan’s cherry crop. Virtual non-stop rain threatens to split clusters of cherries just waiting to be harvested. As a result, growers are using helicopters and fans to salvage the crop and any attempt of pocketing some revenue. “It’s an endless battle to try and keep the cherries dry,” said Sid Sidhu, with Vernon’s Bella Vista Farm Market. “Once they are split, the cherries are absolutely useless.” Late-season varieties like lapins were developed to escape the Okanagan’s traditional early July thunderstorms, but this summer’s uncharacteristic wet weather has orchardists frustrated.
“We’re still taking on damage.” — Alan Gatzke “If this is an indication of July, what will August bring?” said Sidhu. A common scene at the Bella Vista Road farm over the last few days has been a helicopter using its large blades to generate wind and push the water off the fruit. Orchard workers are also spending considerable time sorting through the cherries to ensure there is sufficient supply for the market’s customers. Whether it’s the “thousands” on the helicopter, or the increased wages, Sidhu
admits this year’s cherry crop is increasingly expensive. “The more we spend on cherries, the less we make but we still have to pay the bills,” he said of why he continues to harvest the crop. “It’s a fight worth fighting especially when there is an excellent crop.” There’s a similar situation down Highway 97 at Gatzke Orchards in Oyama, where the rain damage ranges from 15 to 60 per cent depending on the variety. Every attempt is being made to remove rain off
the fruit, including renting a helicopter for $1,200 an hour, blowers attached to tractors and wind machines. “None of the options are cheap. The helicopter is probably the cheapest,” said owner Alan Gatzke, adding that a wind machine can eat through $500 a night in gas and the blowers require staff to drive the tractors. “On Wednesday night, we were out from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. blowing the rain off.” At times it almost seems like an endless routine. “We’re still taking on damage with everything we’re doing,” said Gatzke. But Gatzke and his family are also being creative and trying to find ways to use some of the damaged cherries. “We’re making pies like crazy,” he said.
Cameras are ready to roll on a horror film and a North Okanagan native hopes it’s the start of a long relationship with the region. No Tell Motel will be shot in undisclosed locations in the Falkland and Enderby areas from Aug. 3 to 26. “The story is centred around a motel off in the middle of nowhere and we found that here,” said Rick Dugdale, president of Los Angelesbased Enderby Entertainment. The company gets its name from Dugdale’s hometown, where he graduated from A.L. Fortune Secondary School in 1995. “I’ve been one of those rare guys that knew what I was going to do,” he said. “Bringing the industry back to Rick Dugdale this area is important for me.” And No Tell Motel, with a possible release in late 2012, could be just the first local production for Enderby Entertainment. “We want to come back here with many films because the area is so beautiful,” said Dugdale. That is something the Okanagan Film Commission wants to ensure happens. “I’m hoping Rick has a great time here and brings more micro-films here,” said Jon Summerland, film commissioner, of No Tell Motel’s budget, which is under $1 million. “The spin-offs could be huge from just this one production company.” No Tell Motel will employ about 65 people. “They will all be Okanagan people and there will be lots of locals,” said John Trainor, an Armstrong councillor and Okanagan Film Commission chairperson. “There will be everything from construction and electrical to drivers and food services.” Cast and crew will also use North Okanagan hotels and restaurants.
Crash claims locals Morning Star Staff

News Driver arrested in rollover MVA
BANK ROBBERY
Morning Star Staff
LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
Vernon RCMP attend the Royal Bank in the Shops at Polson Park Friday at 3 p.m. in search of a robbery suspect. The suspect, described as 25- to 30-years-old, 5’9� with a stocky build, clean shaven and wearing a black windbreaker, indicated to the teller that he had a weapon at the time of the robbery.
There’s been an arrest in a motor vehicle accident that left a woman with head injuries. On Thursday at about 10:18 p.m., RCMP officers received a report of a black Ford Mustang with Alberta license plates rolling into a ditch on Okanagan Avenue near Longacre Road. “Witnesses at the scene reported two people, a male and female exited the vehicle,� said Gord Molendyk, Vernon RCMP spokesperson. “The male fled on foot. The female, who sustained a serious but non-life threatening injury to her head, stayed at the scene, and was transported to hospital.� In fact, the woman passenger required more than 30 stitches for a deep laceration to the top of her forehead. Attempts to track the male driver were unsuccessful by the police service dog. “Indications were the suspect was picked up by a vehicle,� said Molendyk. “The 23-year-old male suspect from Vernon was later located at the hospital.� He was arrested, and released on a promise to appear in court in September for expected charges of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, failure to remain at the scene and driving while prohibited.
Abbott won’t join lobby for more VJH beds RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A local politician is reluctant to join the fight to open two additional floors at Vernon Jubilee Hospital to ease overcrowding. Shuswap MLA George Abbott, who represents Armstrong, Enderby and Falkland, says a number of factors must be considered before the government looks at adding acute care beds at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. “I am not in a position to be definitive on whether they (two shelled-in floors) should or should not be completed,� he told The Morning Star. VJH is funded for 148 acute care beds but on average, there are 165 patients daily. Patients are placed in hallways and surgeries have been cancelled. Residents, physicians, nurses, civic leaders and Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster have been demanding that Victoria complete the two shelled-in floors for acute care beds
“There is no experience on what will happen with capacity.� — George Abbott because of chronic capacity issues. However, Abbott says the new patient care tower, which will open in September, should create greater efficiencies for patient flow. “The sensible thing to do is complete the $180 million (tower) and see how they can manage capacity issues,� he said. “There is no experience on what will happen with capacity.� Abbott, who says he hasn’t received many
calls from constituents about overcrowding, believes vacated space in the existing hospital could also be used for patients once the tower is operational. “There are overcapacity issues for a variety of reasons,� he said. “There is a growing need for alternate level of care (residential) beds. I’m advised 46 new beds will come on stream later in the community to deal with capacity. Interior Health is attempting to deal with the situation.� Ministry of Health officials have indicated that one of the challenges in considering the two floors at VJH is the government’s limited financial resources. It could cost $10 million to develop each of the floors, and then $10 million each annually to operate the floors. “Health care has grown every year at about six per cent at a budgetary level,� said Abbott, a former health minister.
“There are relentless pressures on the health care budget but it’s important to remember that there has been a huge investment made in the North Okanagan in health care (the tower).�

Fast-talker earns international honour JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Delivering true motormouth mastery, an Armstrong auctioneer has captured top honours in his field. Rod Burnett, from Valley Auction, won the Calgary Stampede’s 23rd annual International Livestock Auctioneer Championship from a field of 10 finalists last weekend. “It’s the top of the top,” said Burnett, who took home a $5,500 cash prize, hand-tooled Stampede championship buckle and automatic berth into the 2012 World Livestock Auctioneer Championship in California next June. Victory was sweet affirmation for Burnett, who sold cars and heavy equipment for 15 years before being convinced in 2008 by his current employers at Valley Auction Ltd. – brothers Peter and Don Raffan (both former Stampede champs themselves) – that he should turn his attention to bovines. “They moved me over and gave me a shot. They don’t give many people a shot, and I do appreciate it,” said Burnett, who also advanced to the Stampede final last year. “You’re 15 years selling equipment, and then you’re selling something with horns. We all think we can do it, but you’ve got to prove it to yourself. Within six months, I picked it up and started rolling with it...and here we are!” Raised on a podium in a tent in front of a few hundred buyers and spectators, Burnett managed to keep his nerves in check this year. “You’re the spectacle, which is a little intimidating at times. Most years I’m horribly worked up and even nervous and this year I wasn’t nearly as nervous,” said Burnett, who had the advantage of sizing up his competition as he drew the coveted 10th and final position

Rod Burnett is the winner of the International Livestock Auctioneer Championship in Calgary. in the sale order. Peter Raffan, 2008 champ, applauds Burnett for taking the title under the pressure. “It’s tough, it’s not a cake walk,” said Raffan. “But he did a good job.” Burnett is one of only six Canadians to take the championship title (four of which come from Valley Auction – the Raffan brothers, former employee Keith Dinwoodie and now Burnett). “This little barn, it
seems to work for us,” said Burnett. But even for some of world’s top auctioneers, it’s getting tougher to corral cattle sales. “It’s good but of course our volume is depleting over the years because not as many people are in the cattle industry,” said Burnett. “There’s boats and RVs sitting where there used to be cows.” But fewer cows does have its bonus for sellers, who are enjoying prices at all-time highs.

Coun. Bob Spiers is undecided on the Games request. “It’s revenue out of the RCMP pot that covers its activities but it’s something I’ll have to think about,” he said. “Vernon decided to host the Games and it will bring in a lot of people and economic benefits to the community.” Greater Vernon Winter Games officials say a recent change in legislation makes record checks necessary because young people will be in attendance. “There is no avoiding
criminal record checks,” said Akbal Mund, organizing committee president. However, the fees weren’t included in the Games’ original budget. Mund is concerned that paying the fee will take away money the committee wants to direct towards longterm sports initiatives in the community. “We want to leave as as big a legacy as possible for Greater Vernon,” he said. The Winter Games will run from Feb. 23 to 26, and about 2,200 volunteers will be needed.

A proposed development didn’t even get out of the starting gate in Lake Country. Council has denied first reading for an official community plan amendment that would have allowed for a 168-unit development on Juniper Cove Road. “In the Carr’s Landing sector plan, it states that there will be no urban, high-density development in the area,” said Mayor James Baker of why the proposal was not supported by council or district staff. “We have growth areas in the district that will accommodate development and we didn’t want to start another James Baker growth area.” Staff had warned there would be excessive costs to maintain a development of this scale compared to other developments closer to infrastructure and services. “It would be too big of a hit on infrastructure and particularly Carr’s Landing Road,” said Baker. “There are concerns about traffic on the road now.” The developer had offered offsite water and sewage improvements to help mitigate the impact of developing in this area. Besides upgraded water and sewer systems, proponents for the project indicated there would be other benefits for the community. “(There would be) increased potential for public

Falkland pursues transit RICHARD ROLKE

Morning Star Staff
Demands for transit in Falkland are coming under scrutiny. The Columbia-Shuswap Regional District and B.C. Transit will fund a $20,000 study to determine if transit between Falkland and Vernon is feasible. “Right now, we have no bus service,” said Rene Talbot, CSRD director for Falkland. “The Greyhound goes right through here but it doesn’t pick up passengers.” Resident Val Woida has presented CSRD and B.C. Transit with a 180-name petition for bus service. “There are young families and seniors who need rides into Vernon,” said Woida of shopping or getting to doctor and dentist appointments. “Not everyone has a vehicle to use. I really think it would be used.” Initially, Woida would like to see a bus connect Falkland to Vernon once a week. There is no guarantee, though, that buses will be cruising along Highway 97 any time soon. “It will all depend on the cost,” said Talbot, adding that the matter would have to go to referendum. It’s been estimated that a transit service (once a week with two return trips) could cost $70,000 a year, with $35,000 possibly coming from the CSRD and the remainder being provided by B.C. Transit.
“It will all depend on the cost.”
Vernon Butcher Shop
— Rene Talbot But the feasibility study will determine the figures further. “There may be cost savings that could be realized with sharing services and assets,” said Steve Harvard, B.C. Transit senior regional manager, of possibly working in co-operation with Vernon Transit. “The feasibility study will be a thorough process including public consultation and the result will detail the available options and provide recommendations along with estimated costing.” The study will take about nine months to complete and the earliest transit could be in place is 2013. Talbot believes many residents in his community are interested in transit and there should be an effort to provide it if the service is viable. “The provincial government wants to get people out of their cars but they don’t offer anything in rural areas,” he said.
Quick action leads to shoplifting suspects Morning Star Staff
A police officer happened to be at the right place at the right time Wednesday. One of the Vernon detachment’s dog handlers was on 31st Street at 7 p.m. when he heard a report of two alleged shoplifters running from Superstore. “He observed two people matching the description running south bound on the tracks,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “The officer quickly pulled over and noticed the suspects run and hide in the bushes along the railway tracks. The police service dog team ran down the tracks towards where the two suspects entered the

Township targets speed
Injured? I can help.
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Motorists are putting their pedal to the metal on some Spallumcheen roads and that has residents demanding action. Council has been notified of speed limits being ignored on both Otter Lake and Otter Lake Cross roads. “We will send the matter to community policing so they are aware of it. It’s a problem,” said Coun. Ralph Leyenhorst. In the case of Otter Lake Road, there have been reports of motorcycles exceeding the 70-kilometre-an-hour posted zone. “Many local people with children walk on this road, there are horse riders and small children on bikes and there are also cyclists,” said resident John Eaton in a letter to council. “Some people are extremely worried about exiting on to the road because of the motor bikes.” Eaton says he has made the RCMP aware of the situation. “The RCMP says they do not have sufficient manpower to be able to catch them and this fact is well known to the bike riders,” he said. The other area of concern is on Otter Lake Cross Road. Resident Barry Roman says a logging truck was recently doing 70-kilometres-an-hour in the 50-kilometrean-hour zone while a transport truck was doing 100 kilometresan-hour.
For the record The Morning Star wishes to clarify an article in the July 22 edition.

Residents along two Spallumcheen roads are demanding action about motorists. He has canvassed some of the residents about solutions. “Six of them would like speed bumps and two want a no-truck route,” said Roman. Mayor Will Hansma doesn’t believe banning large trucks from the road is practical. “We went through that process before and it’s difficult to designate a no-truck route when there are large farms moving produce and
hay,” he said. “Enforcement of that would be out of reach for us.” However, Hansma says the township has taken action through a Speed Watch program and the RCMP have initiated enforcement on Otter Lake Cross Road. “There has always been a problem there because there is a subdivision adjacent to an industrial park,” he said.
“Staff and council have talked to the companies involved and asked them to speak to their drivers and to remember that there are children there.”

Back to reality
I
don’t know if there’s an underlying theme for the following offering of tidbits but let’s just call this “the things that happen while you’re out of town for more than a week column.” ■ When I returned to work on Monday, well at least tried to return to work on Monday, it seemed like they were trying to prevent me from doing just that so it was tempting to just stay on holidays, but I persevered. You see I knew there Glenn Mitchell was an ongoing detour on Tronson Road by the airport so I travelled along Bella Vista Road only to find Allenby Way blocked due to another excavation site. I eventually got to work (a little late), via downtown, and later discovered, the next day while trying a different route, that a work crew was also busy digging up Okanagan Landing Road near Marshall Field, although I was still able to get through. Yikes. I fear that next week they will start digging up Bella Vista and I will be completely cut off from civilization and I may develop a strong case of paranoia that the city is trying to tell me something. However I take some comfort in the fact that Bella Vista has already been dug up three times in the last five years since we moved to the Landing so it’s likely due for a reprieve, just apparently not every road that’s connected to it. Heavy sigh. ■ And speaking of road projects, it’s nice to see the Highway 97/25th Avenue intersection completed and looking pretty snazzy. It did cause some headaches along the way but I thought it went fairly quickly and seeing how it’s one of, if not the, major junction in town it went fairly smoothly. Wow, Vernon now has its own dedicated leftturn light standard, with two lanes even. I’m not sure but that might just qualify us for big-city status in some people’s books. I still think the roadway is now uncomfortably
MITCHELL’S MUSINGS
close to the skateboard park, perhaps a fence is in order, and the situation is really only a stop-gap transportation solution to a link of Highway 6 and Highway 97 and the lack of a bypass through the city, but, hey, it’s an improvement. I’m not sure about the red brick transition from road to sidewalk (drive on it, don’t drive on it?) but it looks nice and the concrete slab in the middle of the road on the Landing side of 25th seems excessive and forces you to swerve to get into the left-turn lane but it’s probably some safety requirement to try to get us to slow down. It’s like the safety slab and sign near the bottom of Alexis Park Drive that keeps getting run over by motorists. Is it safer for all concerned, including pedestrians, or just silly and bad planning that keeps running up the tab for the city and ICBC? ■ I hear summer didn’t start quite yet while we were away. In fact it’s virtually stormed every night since we got back as well. Meanwhile as we not-so-patiently wait in the Okanagan (you know, semi-desert, the nation’s beachfront getaway) for the launch of summer, virtually the rest of Canada is baking in a heat wave? What gives? As July is rapidly coming to a close I don’t know if we’ve even hit 30 degrees Celsius yet this year. However, before you think of picking up and moving somewhere warmer, like Saskatchewan, this weekend is supposed to be nice and maybe, just maybe, it’s a sign of things to come. After all August is always hot and sunny. Right? ■ And yet, everything must be kept in perspective. One thing about going away and seeing other parts of the world (and if you get the chance to go on an Alaskan cruise, go for it, and if you can get your 80-year-old dad to pay for it, go in a hurry, hey, he wasn’t named good citizen of the year for nothing), is you get to come home and appreciate your surroundings even more. Sure we can complain about the weather but that’s because usually it’s so beautiful (and it will return), and sure detours are a hassle but hopefully they are temporary and lead to improved services down the road. Or maybe I’m being too optimistic and I’m just glad to be home, or feeling the afterglow of being off for two weeks or.....
One has to wonder if George Abbott likes being the odd man out? The Shuswap MLA isn’t convinced there’s a need to complete the two shelled-in floors at Vernon Jubilee Hospital for acute care beds — a view that is completely contrary to residents throughout the region, physicians, nurses, municipal leaders and Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster. Abbott claims he hasn’t received many calls from his constituents about surgeries being cancelled and patients being stacked up in halls. But that is surprising given that a recent public rally included residents from Armstrong and Enderby and the Falkand Community Association recently wrote a letter to the editor demanding more acute care beds. But even if Abbott’s phone isn’t ringing off the hook, it’s a well known fact that most of his constituents — even in Salmon Arm and Sicamous — rely on services at VJH. It is his issue just as much as it is for Foster. Before looking at the two shelled-in floors, Abbott insists there is a need to look at any efficiencies the new tower may create in patient flow and to move ahead with residential care in the community. Both are valid points but keep in mind that VJH is already operating as efficiently as possible and overcrowding still occurs, while the creation of residential care beds for seniors is a long-term initiative and nothing is going to happen overnight. One would expect Abbott, as a former health minister, to take a greater interest in an issue directly impacting his constituents. But instead, he does nothing but fuel perceptions about politicians and bureaucracy.

Vandalism hurts competition
F
or the past seven years, we have had the pleasure to hold our annual summer dog agility trial in the beautiful Lavington Park, right across from the fire hall and elementary school in the heart of this quaint community. The Lavington trial at the end of June has enjoyed an excellent reputation in the B.C. dog agility circle as we have been able to provide gorgeous sunshine in the perfect setting every single year. The large trees give shade to hard-working canine and human competitors and most years, 40 to 50 campers surround the field as people enjoy staying right at this lovely site. Sadly, this year we had some nasty surprises. On the night of June 24 and 25, a number of items were taken from the camp sites. Most were found nearby, carelessly dumped in local ditches, but a heavy generator, taken right off the back of a motorhome, and ECO-FRIENDLY? Today’s green movement, as practiced by many in the middle class is a travesty, a disingenuous, deceptive, and appalling example of insincere appearances and hypocritical behaviors. For many in suburbia, the green movement resembles a dysfunctional faith, full of preaching, rife with sin and condoning hypocrisy. For those of us who genuinely aspire to join, it’s disheartening to witness the artificiality of suburbanites whose excessive and irresponsible lifestyles manage to escape everyday scrutiny. Recently persuaded by government, media, and gogreen social pressure, I took part in Bike to Work Day, which coincidentally happened next to, “drive the kids to school day, every day, two times a day, all year.” This limo service parents provide is in direct conflict with the premise of why some of us would attempt to bike to work. The fear-based suburban script reads that there might be a crack shack on every corner, and a potential sex offender on every block, but is this really the reality?
a propane tank, were never recovered. Beer bottles had been broken inside the washrooms and shards of glass were also found in the grass out front, endangering the dogs and human trial participants. This left a bitter taste in the mouths of the competitors and everyone carefully stored their items the following night. Yet, there was another rude awakening when we found several shade tents slashed and broken the next morning. The extra work and stress this created left some people wondering if they want to return next year. It was sad to witness such senseless vandalism and it has certainly tainted our reputation within the dog agility community. We feel compelled to alert others planning on using the park in the future about our unfortunate experience. Christine Schwartz, President, Dog'O'Pogo Dog Agility Club, Vernon
A lot of suburban’s own huge disproportionate homes— energy-sucking, cookie-cutter castles — fit for a family of eight, then boast that they changed the light bulbs, all 97 of them, to CFLs. Some indulge themselves in trendy tropical holiday flights that burn half a year’s car fuel in six hours then parade around town in a hybrid car. Simplistic insincerities that no-one seems to ever question and perhaps worse put under social examination. Owning a mansion may have seemed important, until the reality of heating, powering, and running it set in. All of the space and lots of it, has a cost. And for today and the tomorrows of our children, these homes are an example of a trendy life that will bring big consequences, one our kids will be burdened with fixing for decades to come. These examples should be unacceptable in today’s informed world. What’s opportune for a suburbanite in vanity, pleasure, or expedience, is ultimately what’s dictating consumerism and thus proliferating the destruction
of the earth’s ecology as we know it. Jeff Hunkin PROPOSAL A CONCERN A precedent-setting bylaw variance application is currently before Vernon council, which it is to vote on at its July 25 meeting. I believe this item has very serious consequences for the integrity of current zoning bylaws. The case in point is an application for a variance in lot size by the owner of a large property on the Commonage who wishes to create a subdivision. The area is currently designated as non-urban which requires lot sizes be not less than 18 acres nor greater than 1.5 times this or 27 acres. As well, the bylaw does allow for an averaging provision, the intent of which is to allow for minor variations of lot size. However, the applicant has used this averaging provision to propose a subdivision that has a huge range of lot sizes with 13 of the 28 lots being seven acres or less in size instead of 18 acres and one huge lot of 200 acres. As we learned in school, the average that
you want can be attained by having many small lots and one very large lot. Hence, the application is an extreme use of the averaging provision of the bylaw. You can see that it makes a mockery of the zoning size restrictions and they become meaningless. If the city wants to change the zoning of this area from non-urban to say urban, do it by legitimate open democratic methods that are readily available. Do not allow it to be done by this back door loophole in the current zoning bylaw which was never intended to be used in this extreme way. I urge city council to recognize the very serious, farreaching zoning implications if they approve this application in its present form. R. Hebbert NO HELP OFFERED We all live in a fairy tale world and think that if something bad happens, people will rush to help us. Not so. I was so disappointed in the human population that my faith in mankind has been shaken to the core. Recently, I was in a horrific and traumatic car acci-
dent in Winfield. The whole back end of my compact car was smushed after I was rearended by a truck and camper and pushed so I straddled the centre of the two lanes. My car is a total loss. There was no way someone could drive by and not know there had just been an accident. I sat in a daze in my damaged car and watched 20 to 40 cars drive around me. No one stopped to ask if they could help. No one stopped to phone 911. I was very troubled that they could just drive by. I had to phone 911 myself and sat alone and very frightened until emergency help arrived. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that John Q. Public would just drive by the scene of an obvious horrific accident and not stop to render assistance. Please, if you see a bad accident stop and offer assistance and see if the people are OK. It only takes a couple of minutes and can mean so much. Remember, someday it could be you needing assistance. Linda Wright

The Communities in Bloom judges were in Vernon recently and they liked what they saw. “I was here two years ago and I’m amazed at how much has been done in that time. You get the idea,� said Peter Crawshaw, a B.C. Communities in Bloom director and judge who is City of Parksville parks and facilities superintendent. “This is something I really enjoy. You meet such interesting people and see so many innovative projects. We’re always learning things and if we can pass along small bits of wisdom, we are happy to do so.� Crawshaw is well qualified to be a judge. “My wife and I are just garden fanatics. We love to grow things, always pushing the envelope as far as zones go. I’d say one of the most exotic things we’ve grown is the cardiocrinum giganteum, the giant lily, which grows in the southern hemisphere. It takes seven years from seed to flower and it grows nine feet tall in the last season.� The judges visit a number of local sites, including parks and other public areas, businesses, community gardens and some local private gardens. They also note how well individual neighbourhood gardens are kept. “Everyone is a part of keeping up a beautiful city. You can see that people here care for their city,� said Crawshaw. “We are particularly impressed with what is being done with Polson Park and future plans for the park. We happened to meet a young student who was involved with planting trees and we were very happy to see young people who are environmentally aware.� He was also impressed with the trail system in the area. “Someone with

judge Karri Loadman, a Kamloops community planner, was also on the tour which was also judging Lake Country and Kelowna. “I’m very impressed with the communitybuilding aspect. We visited an apartment complex that had a community garden growing food and flowers. We could see how it brought people together,� she said. “We are going to see the other community gardens and learn more about food initiative policies here. We went to the Farmers Market which was excellent and bought some things there.� Buffy Baumbrough, chairman of the local Communities in Bloom Committee, which hosted the judges, said, “We are pleased to have them here so we can show off our community.� The provincial Communities in Bloom project started in 1997. There are about 20 entries from around the province in Communities in Bloom this year. The winners, which can go on to take part in Canadian Communities in Bloom, will be a n n o u n ce d in September.

Reviewing officer Lt.Col Leo Brodeur (centre) shares a light moment with one of the 138 army cadets who finished their two-week general training course at the Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre Friday with a ceremonial parade. Joining him on the inspection are cadet warrant officer Kalen Paulson (left) and VACSTC commanding officer Lt-Col Lyle Johnson.
First round of cadets graduate WAYNE EMDE VACSTC correspondent
“The best part of the past two weeks was the summer biathlon,” said army cadet Robert Dungate of Calgary after the 138 cadets enrolled in the two-week general training course at the Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre completed their dress rehearsal for their final parade on Friday. “The worst part was trying to wake up in the morning.” Dungate is already looking forward to next summer when he hopes to enrol in the basic marksman course. The young army cadets are participating in the army cadet general military training course which sees them introduced to communal living, participate in an overnight field training exercise, challenge the mini confidence course, improve their accuracy with the air rifle, take part in a summer biathlon, learn orienteering and receive information on more senior courses that will be available to them in the coming years. Taking the salute from the dais and inspecting the cadets was reviewing officer Lt-Col. Leo Brodeur, the commanding officer of the Regional Cadet Support Unit for the Prairies. “I was pleased with the progress the young people made in their two weeks here,” said Major Reg Tweten, the officer in charge of Charlie Training Group. “For many of these cadets, this is their first experience living with a large group of their peers, and they’ve made wonderful progress.” Cadet Brandon Kenna of Vancouver liked the overnight field training exercise in the hills overlooking the main camp. He plans to continue with his cadet training, but is aiming for a place in
Whitehorse next summer. For Cadet Sergeant Morgan Downing-Baker of Pincher Creek, Alta., the past two weeks were his first experience as a staff cadet, in charge of a section of 10 cadets. “It was fun, but the hardest part was teaching them to look after their kit,” he said. During the summer, more than 1,100 army cadets from Western Canada will spend up to six weeks in the Okanagan Valley training centre, expanding the training they receive at their home corps, developing new skills and forming friendships.

Council has decided not to take action although Russ Wellington has demanded campfires cease at the Riverside campground on Kildonan Avenue. “There’s the experience of campfires we want to provide to people,” said Coun. Brad Case. “People have to buy their wood there on site so they’re not going to burn a lot.” In a letter to council, Wellington says smoke from the campfires neg-

JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Ever since his first adrenaline-soaked cruise down the Shuswap River in the early ‘90s, Miles Hopkins has been an acclaimed aquaholic. The thrill of white water river rafting even drove him to buy his own raft and take a course in order to get his fix in. “I was hooked,” said Hopkins, after the initial run that had him craving more. “The excitement of running the Chucks (canyon), and the slower drift later down the river, with the swimming, wildlife and lack of people was truly special.” Hopkins’ addiction is not unusual. In fact, over the years he started collecting a crew of others jonesing to be on the rivers. Ski patrol members, search and rescue crews, kayakers and climbing fanatics are just a few in the mix. For the last 10 years or so, the crew of 15 (whom call themselves the Aquaholics) have taken thousands of runs together, even bringing friends and family aboard. With some incredible routes in their own backyard, most of their drifts are done locally, primarily in the Shuswap River. “It has been an awesome big water season so far,” said Hopkins. But the Aquaholics also venture into other unfamiliar waters. “They always want a challenge so

A local group of rafters are in search of more experienced members to join them as they take to the rapids. we added bucket-list expeditions with multiple rafts and started doing the Thompson River, the Chilko, the Tatshenshini/Alsek in the Yukon and Alaska, and are planning to do the Nahanni in the Northwest Territories next summer,” said Hopkins of the crew that rafts year round. The snowy banks of Shuswap River even attract the crew in winter to experience the canyon deep in powder. “Last March we finally got our full moon trip through the Chucks also,” said Hopkins. “It took a long time to hit the full moon on a clear night, when it rose just after dark, but it was a thrilling ride and one we’ll remember for life.” The Aquaholics main rafting season starts in May and goes hard through mid-July for the big water. “We go every Sunday, rain or shine – we’re wet anyway.” When the waves begin to settle a little they do family cruises with kids, wives and dogs through September. “Yes, everyone has
life-jackets, even the dogs.” The local group, who own five rafts, are looking to bring some additional aquaholics aboard. “The reward, lots of adrenaline, laughs and sometimes a trip to the Green Room (under the water - don’t breathe if you can’t see blue),” said Hopkins, who through the sport has made some incredible friends, been to some amazingly beautiful places and
been pushed to keep improving his life skills. Anyone interested in joining the crew should have a rafting/kayaking background and most of their own gear. “We need a solid level of fitness, for it is quite demanding, and the paddlers must be strong swimmers and team players,” said Hopkins. Potential Aquaholics can contact Hopkins at madhopper@shaw.ca or 250-542-1632.

Midsummer’s a success The numbers are almost in, and the 25th Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts has raised some $32,000 for the Vernon Public Art Gallery. “It’s probably down a little bit from previous years,” said Dauna Grant, executive director of the art gallery. “We expected that though. We’ve been watching other art fundraisers in the area and they’ve all been a bit low this year, so we
figured we’d be down as well.” The annual art auction and fundraiser was held at Cenotaph Park in downtown Vernon on Wednesday evening instead of the traditional Caetani Cultural Centre. The board has not yet made a decision as to whether that will be a permanent change or not, said Grant. Despite a slightly lower revenue this year the art gallery is still very pleased with the
way the event turned out, and with all the support they received. “I can’t thank our supporters enough,” said Grant. “Without our volunteers, artists, sponsors and my terrific gallery
staff, this event couldn’t happen.”

A giant patriotic painting, showing the faces of Canada’s fallen heroes, is en route to the Okanagan. The Portraits of Honour is a 10- by 40-foot oil painting of the faces of the 155 Canadian Forces troops who died in Afghanistan. On it’s Canada-wide tour, the mural is stopping in Kelowna and Vernon Wednesday. Before heading to the Vernon Army Cadet Camp for a private viewing, the portrait will be in Kelowna at the Orchard Park Mall Wednesday for public viewing from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. “It’s well worth going to Kelowna to see it,” said Richard Dawson with the Armstrong Kinsmen Club, which convinced the national tour to stop in town. The Portraits of Honour mural, sponsored by Kin Canada, is mounted into a specialized mobile display trailer and is travelling across Canada until December visiting the hometowns of all fallen heroes and several other high profile events including Canada’s Royal visit by Prince William and Dutchess Kate Middleton. The Portraits of Honour national tour is expected to raise over $2 million to support injured troops and the Military Families Fund. To help support the tour, official POH merchandise will be sold at the Farmer’s Market across the street from the Orchard Park Mall Wednesday. For more information visit www.portraitsofhonour.ca

Monica Neilson scored twice as the Little Tex Outlaws ambushed the AF Blazers 5-0 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Competitive Division play Thursday night at Marshall Field #3. Christine Fraser and Stacey Cover shared the shutout for Little Tex, who improved to 8-31, one point back of first-place TED United of Salmon Arm. Fraser, Stephanie Stewart and Eline Huisken completed the Outlaws’ offence. Anita Rae had a great game creating many scoring opportunities, while the Outlaws forwards used the Blazers keeper for shooting practice. The defensive line of Jordan Mercer, Kristy Anderson, Erica Shiller, Christine Neilson and Stacey Cover were amazing, keeping the 1-8-3 Blazer scoring chances to a minimum. In other Thursday action, Dr. Lee Dental/Checkers brushed off the North Enderby Timber Celtics 2-0 at Marshall #1. Madison Kaneda opened the scoring 20 minutes in when she tapped in a Kim Teichman cross after Teichman was sent down the wing by Cindy Worth. Ten minutes later, Kirsten Dodds fed Teichman on the wing, and she drilled a 15-yarder into the back of the net. The Floss crew had several scoring opportunities throughout the rest of the game, but were thwarted by the Celtic keeper. Alana Rehman played her last game for Dr. Lee as her family is moving to Alberta.

Osgood’s net numbers rate shrine call
D
ecked in blue plaid shorts and a blue golf shirt over a white long sleeved shirt, Chris Osgood spent his first Friday of retirement golfing in Ken Holland’s 12th annual Derby at Predator Ridge Golf Resort. Ozzie looked relaxed as he whacked his opening drive about 280 yards playing in a foursome which included ex-NHLer and current Red Wing scout Jeff Finley. He wasn’t quite as stoked about his second tee shot and laughingly blamed his poor swing on his new-born son, Max. Osgood, a three-time Stanley Cup champion with Detroit in 1997, 1998 and 2008, announced his retirement this week after 17 seasons. He played in 744 career games with the Red Wings, New York Islanders and St. Louis Blues. The pride of Medicine Hat finished his career fourth all-time among NHL goalies with 15 postseason shutouts, eighth with 74 playoff BETWEEN THE LINES wins and 10th all-time Kevin Mitchell with 401 regular-season wins. “It was in the plans for quite a while,” said Osgood, waiting between holes. “Two weeks after the season I was mulling over it, wrestling back and forth a little bit. But, in the end I talked to Kenny four or five times, and I think it was the right decision. I’m at peace with it and I feel good about the decision I made.” A father of three, at 38, Osgood will stay with the Wings and work alongside goalie coach Jimmy Bedard while also scouting young net detectives. Osgood, who played alongside Bryan McCabe and Rob Niedermayer with the WHL Medicine Hat Tigers, never had a goalie coach in junior, or for much of his NHL years. “Kenny was my goalie coach, really, not on the ice, but mentoring me and telling me what I need to do and how to get there. He just gave me the tools I needed to try and make it. I never really had a goalie coach until ‘96, ‘97. I was self-taught, good or bad.” He laughs thinking back to his minor hockey days in the Hat. “I played defence and forward when I was eight, and started goalie when I was 12. My skating was horrible, just like my (golf) driving. They just put me in there, I was the best on the team at it so they kept me in there.” He went in the 1991 Entry Draft and played his first game two years later. “My first-ever game was in Toronto and that’s when Toronto won about 12 in a row and Doug Gilmour did that triple spin-orama behind the net and beat me to make it 4-0 and there was maybe six minutes left in the second and that was it for me. I came off and Scotty Bowman came over and said, ‘You know, there will be a lot more of those.’ Moments like that you remember. “My first-ever win was in L.A. against Gretzky (Wayne) and that was another memorable game.” He had popular veteran Kris Draper as his roomie for several years, but lists his favourite hotel mate as “Mike Vernon. He was a beauty, non-stop fun.”
ponders the possibility of reaching the Hall of Fame. “You think about it,” he told me. “Obviously, I’m not going to say I don’t wanna be there because I do. It would be a great honour and hopefully one day that will happen. People always ask me, ‘Do I think I deserve it?’ Yah, I think I do. I know how hard it was to get there, to the numbers I have and how hard it is to play. It’s never easy to play on a good or a bad team in the National Hockey League, as a goalie. So, hopefully, one day the voters will agree with that and vote with me.” Fellow Vernon summer resident Chuck Kobasew, a free-agent signing of the Colorado Avalanche, believes Ozzie has the stats to suit the shrine. Osgood becomes eligible to enter in 2014. “He’s had a great career,” said Kobasew, playing in a foursome with Vernon accountant Paul Westwell and car dealer Brian LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR Johnston. “Who knows, Chris Osgood follows his approach shot in the 12th annual Ken maybe a Hall of Famer.

He’s played great years, always Osgood said moving away and comwinning records so he’s put together a ing back to Detroit, and finally ending his pretty impressive career.

Osgood), but I got lucky.” Holland, the Detroit GM who was a Red Wing scout when they plucked Osgood in the ‘91 amateur lottery, has always believed in Osgood. “Obviously, he’s a tremendous story. Drafted in the third round, he was a little guy. I think his best qualities as a goalie were his short-term memory and his competitiveness. And he was a real competitor and if he had a bad game or a bad goal, he forgot about it in a hurry.” Holland, who also played junior in Medicine Hat, saw signs of Osgood’s stronger attributes in the WHL. “The concern was his size. That’s why he went in the third round. He’s 5-five-10 and he wasn’t big, but he’s mentally tough. He competes, and to win 400 games and two Stanley Cups in the net. He’s second to Terry Sawchuk in Red Wing history for regular-season wins, playoff wins, shutouts, a pretty impressive career for a little guy from Medicine Hat.” As for the raging Hall of Fame debate, Holland is naturally in Ozzie’s corner. “I think he’s a Hall of Famer. I think the league’s been around 90 years and anybody that’s in the top-10 in anything after 90 years, it’s pretty special. People can say he played on a good team, but there are other good teams besides the Red Wings. Why aren’t other guys winning 400 games? I think with Ozzie, it’s longevity. It’s battling adversity, competing. So, I think he’s a Hall of Famer, but certainly it’s difficult to get into the Hall.” Holland figures Osgood will be a superb goalie coach. “He learned a lot in ‘05 when he came back. He changed his style. He had to adjust. He had to learn to butterfly and get out of his net a little bit more to make some adjustments and play more like the goalies of today. He knows some of the technical things and I think he’ll pass on the ability to compete, and his short-term memory.”

Quotable... “I couldn’t open a bottle of water (Friday) morning after hitting those shots out of the rough. My elbow’s really acting up. I woke up and it was very sore. I thought I could play through it. I had a couple of shots in the rough (Friday) morning, and I just don’t want to go down that road again where it becomes a bad injury again.” – Golf pro Mike Weir told the Toronto Sun after pulling out of the RBC Canadian Open Friday afternoon in Vancouver.

Tri stars bite into Apple Morning Star Staff
The 29th annual Pushor Mitchell Kelowna Apple Triathlon goes Aug. 19-21 doubling as the Canadian National Championships and ITU Triathlon Pan American Cup. The Kelowna Apple is the largest triathlon event in Canada and also a qualifier for the 2012 World Championships in New Zealand. Paula Findlay, the world’s No. 2-ranked female triathlete, is expected to defend her Canadian title despite an injury which forced her to withdraw from the World Cup in her hometown of Edmonton earlier this month. During the same meet, young Canuck, Kyle Jones, finished fourth, making him the first Canadian in 10 years to beat Canadian Olympic medal winner Simon Whitfield of Victoria. Whitfield won the 2010 Canadian National Triathlon Championships and ITU Pan American Cup, coming in just two-tenths of a second ahead of Jones. Findlay and other Elite athletes are currently in the French ski resort of Les Angles, in the Pyrenees Mountains for a three-week training block to prepare for the ITU World Championship Series Race in London, England, Aug. 6-7.
Richard Montgomery, president of the Kelowna Apple Triathlon Society (KATS), said: “We have been very lucky to be able to bring this national event to Kelowna for four years in a row. This will be our final year, at least for the next few years, so it will be very important for us to have as many people involved as possible.” With close to 2,000 local, national and international event entries expected, more than 1,200 volunteer positions need to be filled. “With less than a month to go before the event, we are positive that our volunteer community will again step forward to make the Apple one of the best organized triathlon events in Canada,” said Montgomery. For those active triathletes or family members that want to swim, run or cycle while rubbing shoulders with some of Canada’s greatest triathletes, visit www.appletriathlon.com for more information. Registration fees are lowest before Aug. 1. The Apple offers races for all ages and stages. It starts on the Friday with the open water swim, aquathon and a fun run, and continues on Saturday with Kids of Steel, the Try-a-Tri and Junior Elites. Sunday sees the business challenge relay, competitive age-groupers, and of course, the highlight event featuring Male and Female Elites.

The Pittsburgh Penguins signed former Penticton Vees’ forward Denver Manderson to a one-year, two-way contract earlier this week. Following conversation between his agent and Penguins assistant GM Jason Botterill, the former Vees’ captain will continue his career with the Wheeling Nailers of the East Coast Hockey League. Manderson will attend the baby Penguins camp in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton before joining the Nailers for the coming season. “Since I was three-years-old you don’t dream to play in Europe, I think you’ve always dreamed to play in the NHL,” Manderson told Black Press. “I think this is as good a chance as I’m going to get to really make an impression.” Manderson played last year in Finland’s Mestis League with HeKi Heinola where he scored 17 goals and 33 points in 46 games.

American golfers Chad Campbell and Michael Thompson shared the after two rounds at the RBC Canadian Open heading into action Saturday at the Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club in Vancouver. Campbell followed up a first-round 1-underpar 69 with a 3-under 67 to sit at 4-under 136. Thompson had opening rounds of 70-66. Vernon’s Chris Baryla, who is battling to regain his form after recovering from hip surgery, missed the cut after firing 74-72 to sit at 6-over. Baryla, 28, managed five birdies over the opening two rounds, but carded nine bogies and one double-bogie to fall out of contention. Fellow Canadian Mike Weir pulled out of competition Friday after aggravating an elbow injury.
Johnny Lee Bonneau cranked a double to the fence, driving in Justin Joe from third base for the winning run in the seventh inning as the Newport Beach Thunder claimed the Vernon Men’s Fastball League championship 9-8 over the Ospreys. The regular-season champion Thunder built up a comfortable 7-3 lead by the fourth inning, but after earning a couple walks, the Ospreys bats came alive, scoring five runs to take the lead 8-7. The Thunder squeezed one run across in the sixth to tie it 8-8. Thunder relief pitcher Shane Miller shut down the young Ospreys bats, giving up only two hits in the late innings. Leading the way for the Ospreys was Chris Wilson, picking up three hits and three RBI. Pitcher Chris Bonneau added three hits and a RBI. For the Thunder, Johnny Lee Bonneau went 3-for-4 with three RBI, and catcher Jay Bonneau was 2-for-3. Frank Lewis and Wes Bonneau were both 2-for-4 with a couple of runs scored. Next up for the Vernon Fastball Association is the Mixed Orthodox League. Play starts the first week of August. Contact the Recreation Centre at 545-6035 for more information. The Vernon Stars smothered Kal Tire 3-1 in Okanagan Oldtimers 50+ Soccer League play Thursday night at Marshall Field #5. The Tiremen (5-8-2) took an early lead when midfielder Denis Chabot beat keeper Ray Tims with a hard shot after some passing by Mark DeVolder and Mike Lloyd. A few minutes later, big defender Dave Gould unleashed a 50-yard clearance ball which took a bizarre bounce over onrushing Kal Tire keeper Gordie Campbell, who sprinted 20 yards trying to unsuccessfully stop the ball from crossing the line. John Garner then nodded in a cross from Rob Ross, who was solid up front, striking the crossbar once and shooting wide from close range. Centre midfielder Dick Markin, who shared the Eastside Mario’s Man of the Match with centre defender Bob Oldfield, added an insurance goal with an 18-yard, left-footed corker after intercepting a poor clearing attempt. Kal Tire, whose last win came on May 18, dropped to 5-8-2. Defender Grant Badgero was the Longhorn Pub Man of the Match for the Tiremen.

The new $100 has plenty of security features intended to stump thieves.
New bills with more frills JENNIFER SMITH Black Press
The latest attempt to thwart counterfeiters will see Canadians flipping through funky polymer bills with frosted windows and flower boxes en route to the checkout counter. Farid Salji and Isabelle Jacques, from the Bank of Canada, have unveiled the latest bill designs to retailers, walking shopkeepers and the media through the ins and outs of new security features intended to keep increasingly sophisticated counterfeiters at bay. “We used to issue a note once every 15 years and now it looks like we need to issue a note once every eight years with the way technology advances because it’s cheaper; it’s more easy for individuals to get ahold of and they can replicate them,” said Salji. In a peak year — those which fall just before a major change in bills — counterfeit notes can cost Canadians as much as $13 million (2004), although the Bank of Canada has managed to drastically improve the odds by changing the bill designs more often. Down 90 per cent from that 2004 peak season, the bank representative said there isn’t anyone who is currently counterfeiting Canadian money perfectly, though the fraudulent notes are good enough to pass when people and businesses don’t check their bills. “You need to verify your money just like you need to verify any form of payment. So if you get a Visa or MasterCard you’re verifying identification,” Salji said.
The new $100 will be the first note to come out of the polymer series and it has a string of security features including both a clear window and a frosted window with a holograph of a flower and a hidden number inside. “It’s more advanced than any hidden number that’s ever been incorporated into polymer-based substrates,” Salji said, noting polymer money has been around for 20 years. There are 30 countries using polymer money, which is both environmentally friendly as it can be reduced and recycled and lasts longer than the current cotton-based notes. To see the hidden number in question, one must hold the note close to the eye and shine a light behind it. The number is hidden in a holograph image of a flower. On the rest of the note, there are the usual holograph images, but also several raised areas
buried in specific spots where those who accept bills will be trained to look. Ensuring that money is genuine and not counterfeit is an individual’s responsibility, meaning business owners can suffer major losses when several bills are accepted that are found to be fraudulent. That said, the bank representatives do not want individuals trying to catch counterfeiters or those who show up with counterfeit money. The appropriate response is to turn down the money and suggest the person take it to local law enforcement then contact the RCMP to let them know a suspicious bill has been spotted. The $100 bill will be on the street come November, followed by a $50 in March 2012. The rest will be out before 2013. Detailed information on the new $100 note and its features can be found at www.bankofcanada.ca.

Bridge by Phillip Alder The toughest deal comes at week’s end Doug Larson, a newspaper columnist, wrote, “If all the cars in the United States were placed end to end, it would probably be Labor Day Weekend.” I would have thought Thanksgiving was more likely, especially in the New York metropolitan area. But this weekend, here is a tough deal. How should South play in four hearts after West leads the diamond king? The auction is sensible. South is not strong enough to rebid three hearts. Then North should take a shot at game. When you smell a game, bid it. There is a natural reaction for South to win with the diamond ace, cash the heart
ace, and play another trump, assuming that he will lose one heart, one diamond and one club. Here, though, the bad heart break kills the contract. Instead, declarer should first play West for the spade king. South should cash his spade ace, then lead the spade queen. If West plays low, declarer discards dummy’s remaining diamond. Then South can play the ace and another heart. (If East has the spade king, declarer would need to play the heart suit for only one loser.) West, though, is likely to cover with his spade king. South ruffs in the dummy, plays a heart to his ace, and discards dummy’s diamond 10 on the spade queen. So far, so good. But declarer must
now lead a club, establishing dummy’s suit and accepting two trump losers. If he gets greedy, playing a trump, East takes his two winners and leads a diamond, forcing out dummy’s last trump. Then South would lose one spade, two hearts, one diamond and one club.

Summer support for Okanagan residents
CELEBRATING 50 YEARS
Mel and Jeanine Hamm were married July 22, 1961 in Lumby at the Sacred Heart Church, with Father F. Franks officiating. Mel and Jeanine have retired in Vernon after many years in Calgary.
KELOWNA — With summer finally here, the Alzheimer Society of B.C. is encouraging Okanagan residents on the dementia journey to stay active and informed when it comes to their health. The Alzheimer Society of B.C. offers many programs to aid in this, including Minds in Motion and First Link. Minds in Motion is a fitness and social program for people experiencing early-stage memory loss due to Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia, and their caregivers. The program promotes the concept of healthy living and the establishment of support networks early on the dementia journey. There are currently two Minds in Motion locations in the Okanagan, one in Kelowna and one in Vernon. Both locations have been overwhelmingly popular with local residents since their inception in January. “The positive response we have received from participants is fantastic,” says Melanie Wasylyshen, who coordinates the Minds in Motion program in the Okanagan. “The connection that couples have made with each other in such a short time frame is amazing. We’re all here to participate and at the same time lend support, and to hear the laughter in the room during our sessions shows the strength of those connections.” First Link is an early intervention service designed to connect individuals and families affected by Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia with services and support as soon as possible after diagnosis. Formal referral from physicians and health professionals allows for proactive contact with individuals and families. “Most of the people that I have been contacting have been relieved to have information and are thankful that we are thinking of them. They are happy to know that we are there for them now
and for down the road as the disease progresses,” says Phyllis Dyck, the First Link coordinator for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. North & Central Okanagan resource centre. These programs have expanded in the Okanagan and five other B.C. communities thanks to a province-wide funding contract with the Ministry of Health Services last September. The Dementia Helpline is available toll-free province-wide at 1-800-936-6033.

Traditional tobacco use is about honour KIM HOWAY
Special to The Morning Star
I work in an environment that treats tobacco with respect. You might say “why treat it with respect, when it kills 37,000 Canadians every year?” It’s true that commercial tobacco use remains the number one preventable cause of illness and death in Canada. But traditional tobacco use is different. In aboriginal traditions, tobacco is a sacred plant. It is given to elders as a gift for their knowledge, used to heal sickness, offered to the spirits of animals when hunted, and as a thank-you to mother earth for her gift of plants and medicines. Many First Nations use tobacco as a sacred plant. In the Southern Interior region, Nicotiana rustica is one of the species that has been grown for generations for cultural purposes. Many tribes call a variety of other plants “tobacco” that are actually sage, red willow, fungus, sweetgrass, cedar or juniper. These other plants are often mixed
with tobacco. When used for traditional purposes, tobacco is used in small amounts and is rarely inhaled. It contains nicotine, but in smaller amounts than in cigarettes or smokeless tobacco. Risk of addiction is low, and people who use it are not exposed to the 4,000 other chemicals contained in commercial tobacco smoke. So how did we get from honouring tobacco to misusing it? How did we shift from a culture that respected the earth’s gift, to a people that use tobacco in an addictive way and then grind it beneath our heel when we’re finished with it? Many factors have contributed to tobacco misuse. Our residential school experiences, poverty, role-modeling, and marketing by tobacco companies have all played a part. Recently, an elder told me he’d been given cigarettes at residential school when he turned 14. There was a special smoking room in the school for the “older” students, and it was considered
Authorized Dealer
a privilege and bonding experience in a stressful environment. For these and other reasons, today aboriginal people have the highest rates of tobacco misuse of all cultures in B.C. We are addicted to tobacco and are no longer using it the way it was intended. So how can we change this picture? First, we can draw upon the strength of our culture and our elders, and teach our children from a young age to respect tobacco and not misuse it. We can use the tools available through the health care system: nicotine replacement therapy, other medications, cessation groups and QuitNow Services (www.quitnow.ca). We can grow our own tobacco and other plants for use in ceremonies. In all these ways, we can move back to using this sacred plant for healing and respect, and stop our dependence on commercial tobacco. Kym Howay is Interior Health tobacco reduction coordinator for aboriginal communities.

LeafSource stops customers pain within days! “It works! I’ll take another two bottles please!” This coming from a customer who had tried every other natural remedy under the sun in the past few years to take away her pain. Ian, the owner of the health food store couldn’t believe his ears. He had finally found the perfect product to stop his customer’s miseries. This is what every owner of a health food store dreams about, a natural product that receives so many outstanding testimonials on such a wide variety of health issues. “I had recommended a new product called LeafSource, which we recently started carrying. We have had tremendous success with this product, and almost everyone we have recommended it to over the last few months has come back and thanked us over and over again” said Ian. Before trying LeafSource, the woman had complained about her ongoing joint pain and was at her wit’s end. Although she had experienced some relief through the numerous natural remedies she had tried over the years, the pain would never fully go away. “She returned to my store, in tears, less than one week after buying LeafSource. I didn’t know what to make of this woman standing in front of me crying, until she told me that within a few days of taking LeafSource her pain started to disappear and within a week it was completely gone as if it was never there.” Ian goes on, “This coming from a woman whose painful joints and ongoing sciatica were so bad just one week earlier, that the pain was unbearable but now has completely subsided.” By now you are probably wondering what is LeafSource and why is it so effective? LeafSource is a 100% natural product derived from a proprietary organic mineral composite with over ten years of university research. LeafSource helps regulate the inflammatory process and the body’s ability to repair itself. The vast majority (70 - 80%) of the population over the age of 50 have joint problems — often called osteoarthritis. This is due to the natural (or unnatural) wear and tear on joint tissue that develops
through the aging process. With joint inflammation, movement is limited and pain can be constant. LeafSource seems to have the ability to help people get their mobility and zest for life back. Millions of people seek treatment for their joint and inflammation problems by resorting to expensive, toxic prescription drugs (i.e. NSAIDs) with multiple side effects. These range from nausea and vomiting to serious intestinal disorders (bleeding, gas, pain) and even kidney and liver failure. Isn’t that too large a price to pay for a little pain relief!? LeafSource is a safe alternative to these destructive anti-inflammatory drugs that cause more problems than they solve. There are absolutely no side effects and it doesn’t interfere with any other medications. Controlled experiments and observations have revealed that LeafSource is a potent anti-inflammatory that has been shown to bring a reduction to inflammation and pain within a few days. People notice great results in terms of more energy and less pain by taking anywhere from 2 to 6 capsules/day. Typical maintenance is usually 1 capsule twice daily. This product gets results! LeafSource is scientifically validated through more than 10 years of research at 4 universities, including the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mercer University. Aside from its incredible anti-inflammatory and pain reducing ability, it has also been shown to improve the performance of your daily nutrition and vitamin programs. It helps increase the absorption of vital nutrients, which in turn helps these nutrients work better. Better absorption = better results! It’s almost as if they have become supercharged! LeafSource has also been shown to help enhance energy levels, improve intestinal health, strengthen hair, skin and nails and improve immune function.
who have tried LeafSource is they just plain feel better, have more energy and less pain. We’re so confident, we guarantee LeafSource 100%! That alone should be enough to try this incredible product.”
www.leafsource.com
To see someone go from intense pain to a new lease on life within a week is truly incredible. Imagine being able to move freely without pain. Who wouldn’t want to get out of bed in the morning with more energy? It’s amazing how much of this stuff we take for granted, until it’s gone! Ian adds, “I often recommend that LeafSource be taken with other natural joint products in order to help them work better and provide even faster relief. One of the things I hear most often from people

It’s cherry season and it’s well-known world wide that Canadian cherries are the finest on the planet. And the best cherries boasting the highest sugar content in the world are grown right here in the interior of British Columbia, in the Okanagan to be exact. There are really only two kinds of cherries: the sweet and the sour, or pie cherry, but there are many different varieties. According to my research, most of our export varieties of cherries were cultivated and developed right here in B.C. at the Summerland Research Station, including varieties like the Skeena, Sweetheart, Satin, Staccato, Sovereign and the Centennial, names many of us aren’t too familiar with. Bings, Lamperts, Vans, Rainier and Lambert varieties have been around for so long their names are synonomous with cherries for most of us. As well as tasting amazing, our cherries are full of wonderful health benefits as well. Okanagan cherries contain high levels of melatonin and anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants with great anti-inflammatory properties. The melatonin works wonders for combating stress and jet lag. Cherries are an excellent source of vitamin C and fibre; low in fat, including saturated fat; and sodium- and cholesterol-free. Today’s recipes include an easy fresh dessert, a tasty muffin, a sour cherry pie and lastly, a teriyaki chicken lettuce wrap which has an intriguing mixture of cherries, ginger, rice vinegar, carrots and almonds all wrapped into crisp lettuce. Easy Fresh Cherry Dessert 1 cup pitted fresh cherries 1/2 cup sugar 1 large banana, peeled and sliced 1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans 1/2 cup whipping cream, whipped Combine cherries and sugar; chill for 1 to 2 hours. Combine chilled cherries with banana and nuts; fold in whipped cream. Serve in dessert glasses. Serves 4.

Anticipated for weeks, fresh, ripe and versatile Okanagan cherries have arrived at last. Cherry Muffins 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon baking powder 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup sugar 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 cup coarsely chopped fresh cherries (can use frozen in winter) 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 1 large egg 1 cup milk 1/4 cup melted butter Grease and flour 15 muffin cups or line
with paper liners. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine the salt, baking powder, flour, sugar and cinnamon; add cherries and stir gently to blend. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, flavouring, milk and melted butter until wellblended. Stir egg and milk mixture into the dry mixture. Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full. Bake cherry muffins for 20 to 25 minutes. Fresh Sour Cherry Pie 1 1/3 cups sugar 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 pounds (4 cups) pitted fresh red sour cherries 1/4 teaspoon almond extract Pastry for 2-crust 9-inch pie, unbaked 1 1/2 tablespoons butter Combine sugar, flour, cornstarch and salt. Mix with cherries, adding extract. Roll out pastry. Use half to line a deep 9-inch pie pan; trim. Pour in cherry mixture and dot with butter. Cut remaining pastry into 5/8-inch strips. Arrange pastry strips, lattice fashion, over all. Seal edges with water. If a glazed topping is desired, carefully brush lattice with evaporated milk or egg white. Bake in preheated hot oven (425 degrees F) for 10 minutes; reduce heat to moderate (350 degrees F) and continue baking about 30 minutes longer, or until crust is welldone. Serve warm with ice cream if desired. Teriyaki Chicken Cherry Lettuce Wraps 2 tablespoons canola oil 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root 1 1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite size pieces 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce 1 tablespoon honey 1 pound dark sweet cherries, pitted and halved 1-1/2 cups shredded carrots 1/2 cup chopped green onion 1/3 cup toasted and sliced almonds 12 leaves of lettuce Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add ginger and chicken and sautĂŠ until cooked through, about 7 to 10 minutes. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together remaining 1 tablespoon oil, vinegar, teriyaki sauce and honey until mixed together. Add chicken mixture, cherries, carrot, green onion and almonds; toss together. To Serve: spoon 1/12 of the chicken/cherry mixture onto the centre of each lettuce leaf; roll up leaf around filling and serve. Chicken never had it so good!

Making memories at home
A
staycation is where you stay at home and do the activities you might do if you vacated your home and went elsewhere. People come from around the world to visit our valley and many locals stay put and bask in the area’s offerings. Over the years our family has enjoyed many “100 mile vacations” in this area. One of my favourite places to visit was Sugar Lake. It is easy to get to: drive to Cherryville, take a left at the store, and keep going until you reach Sugar Lake. What I loved about being there was the natural beauty and how few people were there. We camped at the forestry sites, a few times and then twice stayed in the paid camp site and rented a cabin. There is a new development there now. We would rent a small boat and go out exploring the lake and trying our hand at fishing, not so great at that, better at bird watching. A small pair of binoculars that a child can manipulate can provide a lot of pleasure and entertainment for them as they look for birds, fish, bears, all sorts of wildlife. We always took them on camping and hiking trips. One summer our site was at the back of the campground and we had a ridge where we made a lean-to. That was such a great time; it was a stinking hot weekend, and the boys stayed cool and out of the sun playing in the woods, imagining themselves to be

Strong Points RHONDA CATT Special to The Morning Star
Abdominal training is a key point in most fitness programs. Either to gain the sixpack, lose the inches or achieve that flat tummy, no matter what, it is usually at the top of the list. The basic style of abdominal training you may see are floor-based exercises and usually higher rep ranges. The crunches, the oblique twist movements or rotational patterns, the tools such as the BOSU and stability balls are the general focus for fitness enthusiasts. Changing your way of thinking will help you create a stronger and more stable centre or core. This core craze that has taken the fitness industry by storm has also confused a lot of people! First came the “drawing in” like you are pulling your belly button toward your spine. Then came the instruction of more of a “bracing” pattern. This bracing pattern is very normal for most people when loading, lifting and performing sport movements. If you are familiar with these terms or not, it comes down to understanding what the true function of what our core does and not what a traditional muscle function textbook says. When we look at the

Spine stability is crucial for injury prevention and successful life and sport performance. You may already be familiar with plank patterns such as front and side planks. These deliver a high level challenge for stability with many progression levels and are a great addition to any program. Think about movements in sport...throwing a soccer ball and having the ability to resist and decelerate the preload of the throw. Are you able to resist and control that extension while throwing? Rotational patterns while skating, sprinting or playing tennis, are you able to control the rotational pattern? Are you training in a way that mimics true function such as anti

They’re happy to report that things are going well and the school had its first graduation, a class of 72 girls in June. “I have been told again and again that this school is unlike any other school in the country. The standard of living is truly excellent and the girls are amazing, and it is clear that they are receiving excellent instruction,” said Johnson, who visited the school recently. n“This could not have
happened without the support of Rotarians and the public in your area.” Some of the graduates will attend university in Malawi, others will receive loans to start their own small businesses and three will get scholarships to study in Canada. The Atsikanan Pa Ulendo (Malawi Girls on the Move) Education Foundation was founded by Johnson, who taught in Malawi, and Chazeza, a Malawi native who managed to get an education and wants other young women in her country to have the same chance.

Motivated rapper sticks to plan A Morning Star Staff
Chris Greenwood, a.k.a. Manafest, is a man on a mission. His latest release, The Chase, is his fourth full-length album and it’s his hardest hitting work to date, infusing rock, rap and pop seamlessly. Manafest, stopping by Vernon for a show on Monday, has been organically building his fan base for the past six years, playing hundreds of shows on three continents and selling over 100,000 records. He is a Juno and Dove nominee, and his music has been featured in video games and on TV shows like Knight Rider, One Tree Hill and MTV Unplugged. He’s been endorsed by Circa, West 49 and Nomis. So, what’s left to achieve? That’s simple. Sell one million records, keep touring the globe and continue getting his message out to fans. If past success is any indication, it’s only a matter of time before he makes this happen. Manafest didn’t start writing lyrics until he was 18 and up to that point spent a lot of time perfecting his skating technique. One of the stand out songs from his latest release The Chase is No Plan B. This is a term he and his friends used while riding the cement waves. He sings, “It’s too late, it’s my fate, there’s no turning back. There’s no fear in the mirror to hold me down. And I know that this road is my destiny. I’ve got to stick to the plan cause there’s no Plan B.” This song pays homage to of the classic punk bands like Bad Religion and some modern day rockers like Green Day. The lyrics are also reminiscent of Eminem’s hit Lose Yourself. There’s a similar urgency in both of these tunes. Manafest draws inspiration from travelling, seeing new cultures and meeting new people. He’s also moved by the stories his fans share with him about how his music has changed their lives for the better. “I never set out to be a role model, but now I do some motivational speaking and the kids who come to see me seem to find meaning in my songs. That really means a lot to me. It keeps me going,” he said. Manafest credits his fans with his success. “These kids somehow found my music and they just ran with it. They liked what they heard and they told their friends. It really was an organic buzz that got me to where I am now.” While his last album Citizens Activ was a mix of rock, pop and rap and even some gospel influences Manafest considers The Chase to be a more straight ahead rock album that was inspired by artists like Beastie Boys, Linkin Park, 3 Days Grace and even some emo bands like Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance. The other stand out song on The Chase is Everytime You Run. This is a song about second chances and about a few dark moments in his life when he really felt like there was a guardian angel that showed him the light. The video shows Manafest after he’s flipped his SUV. He has a choice to make after this horrific accident. Get up and get his life
PHOTO SUBMITTED
Juno-nominated hip-hop artist Manafest is playing a concert at Alexis Park Church on Monday night. He will be showcasing songs from his latest album The Chase. together or give up and start dying. He sings, “I thought of a song my mom used to sing in church, but it’s been so long I can’t remember the words... I promised not to quit and I remembered the words.” This is a poignant message for anyone who is grappling with the meaning of their own life. It is, admittedly a more mellow sounding tune though. Does he ever worry about what his more hardcore fans might think about lighter songs like these? “You know what, no, I don’t worry about what some people might think,” he says. “I want my songs to encourage people. My songs come with a resolution. I don’t force my views on anyone either, I ask them to make up
their own minds. And if a song like, Everytime You Run helps one person through a dark time in their life, then I feel like I’m doing something positive with my music and my life.” With more than 1,000 shows under his belt, and all those record sales, it sounds like the fans have spoken. And as for Manafest? He’ll continue chasing his dream of making a living writing music and touring the world. As he says, “There’s No Plan B.” Manafest is playing Monday night at the Alexis Park Church on 35th Street, with opening act Hathaway. The show is at 7 p.m., and the doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $5 at the door.
Inspiration for band’s name found in paper ALLAN WISHART Black Press
It started with a story in a newspaper. “Jack (Garton) saw a story about a woman who said she had seen Santa Maria (St. Mary) in the mist in her shower,” drummer Todd Biffard, of Maria in the Shower, explains. “He and Martin (Reisle) were still just a duo and they needed a name.” He admits it’s a strange name for a band,
especially when it’s four men, without a Maria to be seen. “We started to see some concepts in the name after a while,” he says. “People feel comfortable singing in the shower when they would never sing in public. “And we hope it draws people out to see us.” One chance music lovers in the North Okanagan will have to see Maria in the Shower is at Komasket Music Festival on
July 29. The band will be playing on the mountain stage at 8 p.m. The group started with Reisle and Garton meeting each other at poetry readings while both were students at UBC. “They both did a lot of very abstract poems,” Biffard says. “They found something in common, and then started putting some of the poems to music.” Biffard joined them while playing with another band.
“I was playing in a cafe, and they asked if they could do some of their stuff between our sets. We said sure, and after I listened for a while, I jumped on stage and joined in.” They played the same club each week for about four months. Then Garton brought bassist Brendon Hartley on board, and the band was set.

Director David Yates completely goes for the gusto, and does the complicated brawl justice. To say that Harry Potter ends with a bang with
The Deathly Hallows – Part 2 is probably an understatement. While I’ve at times been less than kind to Potter’s cinematic adventures (keep those letters and emails coming), I’ll give credit where credit is more than due – this is a darn solid piece of film making and storytelling.

Capsule Comments with
IAN JOHNSTONE Childhood meningitis can be a very dangerous, potentially fatal infection of the membranes covering the brain and the spine. It can be caused by a virus but the more severe form is caused by bacteria. Symptoms to watch for are confusion, leg pain, rash, neck pain or stiffness and photo phobia (extreme sensitivity to light). There is an effective vaccine available that protects against 80% of the disease strains. Saskatchewan joined many other provinces in Canada to ban the sale of tobacco products in pharmacies. B.C. and Manitoba are the only two provinces that still allow the sale of these products in pharmacies. It was back in 1939 that the drug warfarin was first isolated and used as a “blood thinner” to prevent blood clots in many medical conditions like atrial fibrillation. It is still commonly used today and has saved many lives over the years. Perhaps hundreds of thousands of doctor visits are made each year to have earwax removed. This can be done at home by simply using an eye dropper to instill vegetable or mineral oil into the ear, then using a rubber bulb syringe and some warm water to syringe the wax out. This process can be repeated every few days. Never use cotton-tipped applicators in your ear. Whether it be a question on earwax or how a certain drug works, you will always receive the right information from our pharmacists. Have Your Prescriptions Filled With Us

Music used to raise spirits
Cherries, Peaches, Apricots
Continued from B6 “The funny thing is,� Biffard says, “we never really sat down and said, ‘Let’s make a band.’ It just happened.� While their musical influences have changed over the years (“We were originally spoken word and early jazz. Then we went through a hootenanny phase and a Gypsy phase.�), the core style hasn’t, Biffard says. “Everyone wants escapism, everyone wants to hear something that will raise their spirits. “We want to break down the distinction between the audience and the performer.� And for a band which seems to have a touch of anarchy about it, there is one important ritual. “The creating of our set list is one of our strongest rituals,� Biffard says. “We make a conscious effort to tailor our shows to the environment. When we’re doing our sound check, we’ll get a feel for the acoustics of the room, for the size, for how many people we’ll be playing for.� The Komasket Music Festival

Silent auction helps Ugandan centre Morning Star Staff
Two Salmon Arm women have decided to use the arts to support a good cause. While spending the last year in Uganda with their respective families, Jocelyne Baker and Kara Aylard, partnered with Kelowna-based charity, Niteo, started a community resource centre for impoverished children in the country’s capital, Kampala. To raise support for the new initiative, the two women are planning a silent auction and wine and tapas fundraiser August 5 at the Field of Dreams Clubhouse (250 30th Street) in Salmon Arm from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Items for bid will include twelve original paintings by Kampala artists Jalia and Daniel Matovuz along with African handicrafts and items donated by local businesses and individuals. The “Let Them Shine” event will feature live entertainment by local musicians, Susan Aylard and Monika Wilson, as well as stories and videos from Uganda. Niteo strives to dignify the heart and mind of the African child and provide support and programming
to this end. The Kansanga Resource Centre (KRC) houses books, puzzles, building blocks and board games and provides a safe place for children to read, study, and participate in art and sports clubs. “Like children all over the world, the children of Uganda are bursting with potential. Niteo aims to partner with Ugandans to provide resources and a stimulating learning environment that will promote an active mind and a buoyant spirit in every child we meet,” said Baker, the centre’s co-director. As part of its holistic approach to education which includes addressing the basic needs of the community, Niteo has also launched an incomegeneration project at the KRC for women living in extreme poverty. The embroidered greeting cards made by these women will be available for purchase at the event. All of the proceeds from the event will go to funding the centre and its programs. Tickets are $30 in advance or $40 at the door and can be purchased by calling (250)838-0945. Donations of silent auction and door prize items are welcome.

Deficit lower than forecast TOM FLETCHER Black Press
The B.C. government finished the fiscal year this spring with a deficit of $309 million, nearly $1 billion less than what was forecast last fall. The savings came partly from extra tax revenues generated by four-per-cent economic growth during 2010-11, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said Monday in releasing the province’s audited public accounts. Some was realized from lower than expected spending in programs such as health care, and some came from extra revenues collected through the harmonized sales tax. But Falcon wasn’t able to say exactly how much extra revenue the HST brought in during its first year of operation. B.C. sales tax revenues are growing by about $600 million a year, partly Kevin Falcon due to the fact that provincial sales tax has been extended to a variety of services as well as goods. But B.C.’s gross domestic product is growing faster than the national average and consumer confidence is strong, so revenues from the former PST would also have grown, Falcon said. And he noted it has been clear since the HST was introduced that it collects more revenue because of the broader tax base. “It is also a tax that generates greater economic activity, generates more job creation, and that in turn will drive more revenues to the government,” Falcon said. NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston said the government is using “funny math” to produce a rosy picture of the B.C. economy. One reason the past year’s deficit is so much lower is that B.C. collected $769 million from Ottawa, the second half of its $1.6 billion “bribe money” for adopting the HST, he said. “People have a sense they are being played,” Ralston said. “They have an agenda, they want to ram the HST through and this is just one more instance of that.” Falcon warned that if the HST is rejected in the referendum that is currently underway, that will cost the province about $3 billion over the next three years. Half of that is to repay the federal government, and the rest is transition costs and extra HST revenue that won’t be collected. “We will have to manage that $3 billion hit, and the only way you can do that is either have larger deficits, which means borrowing more money and passing the bill onto future generations, or you can increase revenues, or you can reduce spending,” Falcon said. Because the budget remained in deficit, B.C. cabinet ministers will not receive a 10 per cent holdback to their salaries for the 2010-11 fiscal year.

Daryl Carlyle, co-owner of Unique Garden Art & Gifts, puts the finishing touches on a handcrafted pot featuring a leaf imprint.
Carlyles plant Unique roots GRAEME CORBETT Business Editor
Whether he’s preparing a five-course meal, or up to his elbows in concrete, Daryl Carlyle always seems to do it with an artisan’s touch. After more than three decades as a top-class chef, working with Sheraton, Hyatt Regency and Delta hotels, followed by 14 years overseeing the kitchen at the Vernon Golf & Country Club, Carlyle felt it was time for a change. He and wife Anna Marie decided to follow their passion for gardening by opening Unique Garden Art & Gifts. The couple operates on the same property on Kalamalka Lake Road where Anna Marie’s father, the late Fred Mann, a popular community sports advocate, ran his masonry business for decades. Anna Marie, formerly involved in hotel and restaurant management, handles the retail side of things, ordering and selling a variety of garden decorations, ranging from handcrafted statues and planters to stone tiles, benches and bird baths. “I really try to source things that aren’t found at other stores in town. It’s an ongo-
ing process, trying to change things up as we go along,” she said. Daryl creates much of the product himself, experimenting with concrete to come up with one-of-a-kind creations. “After 35 years (as a chef), I sort of said ‘That’s a career,’ said Daryl. “I’ve always loved gardening as a sideline hobby and we thought of how to incorporate that into a business for the future. It was a natural progression – you’ve got the building and it used to be a masonry business in concrete and one thing led to another.” In particular, Daryl specializes in casting and imprinting giant leaves – elephant ear, gunnera, Japanese rhubarb and hostas – grown by the Carlyles in the back lot. “We only ever use a leaf once, so every one is unique. People can pick which ones they want. It’s a great selling feature,” said Daryl, noting his casting process produces tensile-strength leaves. “They’re quite strong, but you do have to be careful not to pick them up by the edges. They’ll survive winter weather.” Daryl has also developed his own technique using a polymer concrete, which
allows him to carve the finished pieces before they fully set. “I did more research and found this carveable polymer concrete and it opened up a whole new world of what I can do with concrete, instead of just putting bricks and blocks together in stacks.” “It just evolved from there and every couple of weeks I’m producing a new piece.” Daryl explains the transition from chef to concrete artisan isn’t as big as one might expect. “As a chef, you always have to be creative and you have to be moving on and finding what’s new, what’s hot. It seemed like a natural progression doing this because I can use those same skills.” He adds the big challenge is finding what people like. “It’s the same as being a chef. You’re told not to do a menu on what you like. It’s what your customers are going to like. But you come into this guessing because it’s so new.” The Carlyles’ handiwork will be on display at the BX Creek Daylilies open house this weekend and next.

HAWAII - What springs to mind when you think of Hawaii? Relaxing beaches, rolling surf, revitalizing spas? Without a doubt, they’re all great forms of tropical R&R. But what about riding the range? Sprawled out between the Hawaii Island’s lava Kohala Coast and her moisture-laden Hamakua shores are lush rolling hills that lure many a cowboy (and girl). And today, they’re mesmerizing me. But when it comes to the giddy-up-andgo thing, I’m certainly no Calamity Jane. “No worries,” my pony-tailed wrangler, Corrina, says with a cheeky grin. “Laka will live up to her name.” I’m tempted to whip out my Hawaiian dictionary and make sure this thoroughbred’s title really does mean “calm and gentle.” But when she bats her long lashes and looks flirtatiously my way, I begin to relax. After one loving nudge, I’m convinced. She’s a keeper. Paniolo Adventures are pros at matching up their horses to holidayers. They’ve been doing it for more than 25 years at Ponoholo Ranch, a verdant eleven-thousand acre parcel that extends from the misty 4,800-foot-high Kohala Mountain to the island’s sunny oceanfront. Uniting with my new-mate mare are paints, palominos and up to eight thousand head of cattle, the second largest herd on the island. Parker Ranch, at nearly a quarter million acres, takes the blue ribbon for being the biggest and oldest, with roots that stretch back to the days of King Kamehameha I. It all started out with five scruffy long-

Rich ranching history on island Continued from previous page
With help from Hawaiian ranch hands, the beef was butchered, hides were dried and sales from visiting whalers and sandalwood trading ships soared. In 1832, Parker sped up the process by contracting Mexican vaqueros, skilled horse/ cattlemen, who could train the locals to rope while riding. Their Espanolo title was shortened to paniolo, cowboy culture quickly became a part of this rolling landscape, and as the cliché goes, the rest is history. “We can go at any pace you like,” Corrina says, after helping us all straddle the saddle. “ Walk, trot or even rev it up a notch. These guys know all the speeds.” Whether it’s her infectious laugh or my nervous qualms, I giggle back. And beneath my trembling thighs, Laka lets out a grunt. I’m told not to be concerned. This snicker-like sound is her way of showing affection. Feeling bonded to my equine companion, we plod on. Paniolo Adventures are all kept to a minimum and range from the pokier City Slicker ride to the higher-cali-
“Just grip the reigns. She’ll show you a good time,” Corrina reassures. I follow her command and with a “yeehaa” we’re off! Like the flowing tide, my body melds with her gracious, gentle gait and by the end of this final connection, I feel like a genuine paniolo. But our affair ends
quickly – a quick brush, a hay biscuit and a sweet farewell. And it’s not until hours later, when checking out my Hawaiian dictionary, that I realize Laka had truly lived up to her name – a seductive Hawaiian goddess.

New spin for Las Vegas NEVADA - Electronic music is experiencing a new wave. No longer the bailiwick of club kids and raves, electronic music has grown up with an appeal that stretches from Wall Street to Main Street, and Las Vegas is at the epicentre. The destination serves up a daily dose - from poolside (daylife) to club (nightlife) - of the best live mixes from the cream of the DJ crop. Renowned DJs/producers from around the world, including Kaskade, David Guetta, LMFAO, Steve Aoki, Lil Jon, DJ Vice and more, have established residencies, quickly eclipsing star chefs as the celebrity du jour. “Fans of electronic music want venues where they can experience the beats of their favorite DJs year round, and that is exactly what Las Vegas delivers,” said Sean Christie, owner of Las Vegas Nightlife Group. “Vegas is the perfect destination to host worldclass DJs and throw these massive dance parties. The city offers a sense of camaraderie among the artists.”

You may be surprised to learn that medical care outside of B.C. can be very expensive especially in the United States. For example, the average cost of emergency in-patient hospital care in the United States often exceeds $1,000 USD per day, and can even be as high as $10,000 USD per day for intensive care. And since Health Insurance BC (formerly MSP) may cover as little as 10 per cent of the medical expenses you could face when travelling outside TRAVEL B.C., the Ministry INSURANCE of Health Services WITH strongly advises SANDY buying additional MACPHERSON medical insurance even if you only plan to leave the country for one day.
It’s wise to check the Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada website at www.voyage. gc.ca. Select your destination and the Entry/Exit Requirements section will provide you with the travel insurance requirements. If you have confirmed coverage through your credit card or extended benefits program, be sure to obtain the proper documentation to meet the entry requirements of your destination(s).
INSURANCE OUTLOOK
Many B.C. residents already have limited travel insurance coverage through their credit card or employer extended benefits program. However, this coverage often doesn’t have a high enough dollar limit or cover you for the number of days per trip you require. Know before you go. Reviewing your travel insurance is increasingly important as some countries are now monitoring travellers’ coverage prior to crossing their borders. In fact, it was recently announced that several European countries are advising travellers to be prepared to show proof of medical coverage and may also impose a minimum coverage requirement.
Call 310-2345 or click on bcaa.com
Travel with peace-of-mind.
If you find that your current coverage is inadequate to completely protect you from the financial devastation an accident or injury could cause, investigate additional coverage like emergency excess medical insurance, to be protected and enjoy peace- of-mind during your travels. Remember to purchase your coverage before leaving B.C. Coverage is available through private insurers, such as BCAA, who offer at least five million dollars in emergency medical coverage. Always carry your declaration page with you when travelling as proof of your insurance coverage. For more information about travel insurance talk to your local BCAA Insurance Agent today.

PET PERSONALS — Cats Looking for Laps! Nice and Neutered! Creamsicle & Popsicle
Dude
says “Double your pleasure! Double your fun”! These 8-yearold littermates were surrendered when a child in their family developed severe allergies. They’re affectionate boys who are devoted to each other.
Stanley
says “Big is beautiful!” This former stray has some battle scars and probably some harrowing stories to tell. Now with his troubles behind him, Dude wants to devote the rest of his life to the pleasures of domesticity. He’s a real character and affectionate too!
Jake
says “Take me home!” This two-year-old was surrendered because his family couldn’t care for him anymore. He’s a little overwhelmed by his plight but he’s very sweet and likes other cats.
says “Please tell me I’m a good, beautiful boy!” Jake’s family moved and could only take one cat with them. Poor Jake was left behind. Are you the loving human who can restore his self esteem?
Sweet and Spayed! Daisy
Persia
says “I love belly rubs!” She’s a beautiful, gentle 5-year-old who has never been outdoors. Adopt her and she’ll purr away all of your troubles.
says “I’m better, not older!” This gorgeous 11-yearold recently lost her home because her owner could no longer care for her. She deserves a second chance.
Miss Molly says “Be mine alone!” This playful, cuddly 3-year-old has been waiting months for the right human. When she finds her family, she will not want to share their love with another pet!
Puddin says “I need someone to love me!” A heartless human betrayed her trust by abandoning her in the BX where she raised 8 kittens. Now it’s her turn to be cared for.
Nala
Holly
says “I need a VERY special human!” This young torti hates dogs and distrusts other cats. She’s totally fed up with spending most of her time in a cage. Are you a patient, understanding cat person? Please help her!
says “Come and play, please!” She is still very kittenish and loves attention. Holly would make a wonderful companion for older children.
Miela
JuJube says “Candy is dandy but I’m much sweeter!” This lady-like young abandoned adult is a wee bit shy ‘til she knows you. She’s also a little self-conscious about her lion cut hairdo but her lovely long hair is growing in nicely.
Momma Cat
says “Please don’t leave me!” This gorgeous 2-year-old Ragdoll would like a quiet home and a human who doesn’t leave her alone for long holidays. She’s a sensitive, affectionate companion but, when left for days at a time, she shows her displeasure by inappropriate peeing.
Cutest Kittens in Town! Vernon and District Animal Care Society spokeskitten says “To learn more about us, phone Susan @ 250-545-7535 or come to Adoption Days at Crescent Falls Vet Hospital every Saturday from 10 am to 1:30 pm.

Researchers study greener building materials Black Press
UBC researchers Kasun Hewage and Fabricio Bianchini are taking a good idea and making it better, perhaps spawning a new construction technology for use in arid countries worldwide. Hewage, an assistant professor of project and construction management in the School of Engineering at UBC Okanagan, and his Master of Applied Science student Bianchini have been looking at ways to make green roofs even more environmentally friendly by using construction waste. Green roofs — where plants are grown on specially designed matting that is placed on top of a building — are no longer a novel idea. But there is room for improvement, and Hewage and Bianchini are looking at recycling waste building mate-

Currently, materials for the layers are made out of plastic. While the lifespan of a manufactured green roof is about 50 years, it takes 25 years to compensate for the environmental damage caused from making the plastics contained in the roof layering material. Hewage and Bianchini are searching for the best type of
construction waste to reduce the amount of plastic used in greenroof material. Utilizing construction waste also reduces the amount of material that is dumped in local landfills. Green construction is becoming a mantra throughout North America, and Bianchini says green roofs can play a role in reducing harm to the environment in several capacities.
Thank You VantageOne 2011Canada Day Fireworks
I would like to sincerely thank the organizations and individuals who made the 2011 Canada Day Fireworks display possible. This year our Gold corporate sponsor of $5,000.00 was VantageOne Credit Union, with huge thanks to Glenn Benischek for making it happen. Their generous community minded contribution significantly enhanced the quality of this year’s show and we are very grateful. Heritage Canada also provided a $4500.00 “Celebrate Canada Grant” for the event. The Funtastic Sports Society once again came forward with a $2,000.00 donation toward this year’s show, which allowed us to purchase additional specialty effects. Special thanks go out to the gang at 107.5 KISS FM for supplying musical accompaniment, as well as Mayor Lippert and the City of Vernon for their financial and in-kind support and assistance. Our gratitude to the volunteers from Community Policing as well as Vernon Moving and Storage for the use of their equipment. An enormous Thank You to Bill Wacey, and Lawrie Skolrood, along with many volunteers from Vernon Fire Rescue, BX/Swan Lake, Okanagan Landing, and Coldstream fire Halls who dedicate countless hours setting up, firing, and dismantling the show every year. We appreciate and applaud the efforts of all those who helped provide the residents and guests of Vernon and area a wonderful display celebrating Canada Day. See you next year. Terry Schmauder Vernon Canada Day Fireworks Committee
Green roofs act as an insulator, meaning less energy is needed to heat a building in the winter and cool it in the summer. “Plants regulate tem-
peratures on Earth, so we are trying to apply that to buildings,” said Bianchini. But finding the best material is not the only challenge they face. Hewage says the material must not be too heavy — plastic is light, thus making it a popular material — and it must not be too expensive to integrate into a building. Construction projects produce many types of waste virtually from day one. Hewage says once a type of waste is identified as the optimum material, it can be stored and used at the end of the construction
project for green roof applications. The project began last year, and Bianchini is monitoring several
green-roof plant beds on campus that were donated by green-roof manufacturing company Xeroflor.

Todd Kevin Warawa
October 15, 1973 - July 19, 2011
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of a special daughter, granddaughter, sister, aunt.
October 25, 1952 - July 4, 2011 On July 4, 2011, Todd Warawa, at the young age of 58, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Mayne Island,B.C. In his passing, our planet earth has lost one of its most unique and wonderful characters. 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. His wee dog Griz will forever be looking for Todd to come home. Cremation arrangements by Sequoia Gardens( McCalls) in Victoria B.C..
