Gene Bechthold flies his Extra 300 plane at the Christmas in July fundraiser featuring the Vernon Radio Controlled Aeromodelers Society Saturday at the IPE fairgrounds in Armstrong. Brothers Peter Klassen, six, (from left) and Gustav Klassen, eight, watch the air show with their cousins Marcus Neudorf, nine, and Henry Reimer, 11. Christmas in July was a fundraiser for the Armstrong Boys and Girls Club.
Taxpayers have bought a piece of land in downtown Vernon but it’s unknown whether it will be the future home of an art gallery and museum. The City of Vernon has purchased the Vernon Flower Shop building at 3011 31st Avenue for $315,000. When asked if this will be the site of a proposed museum and art gallery complex, Mayor Wayne Lippert would only say, “It’s a potential site for future arts and culture space.” Both the public art galWayne Lippert lery and the museum have been lobbying for new facilities because their current locations are cramped and do not contain climate controls necessary to protect artifacts. The gallery’s recent Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts fundraiser was held across from Vernon Flower Shop in Cenotaph Park. Lippert insists that no matter the use, the latest land acquisition will prove a benefit to the community. “We’ve looked at it because we bought the adjacent medical clinic property a few years ago. It could be a park and an art walk,” he said. Bob Spiers The purchase has full support among council members. “It consolidates the rest of the block,” said Coun. Bob Spiers of the city’s existing land holdings. “We could do something with it in the future. It’s a good investment.” Coun. Jack Gilroy admits some residents may question purchasing the flower shop building when the city already owns the Coldstream Hotel property which has been sitting vacant for years. However, he says the flower shop site makes sense. “That’s the area we want to do some redeveloping in,” said Gilroy. “We will have more parking downtown until there is a plan for the land.” Jack Gilroy As for the Coldstream Hotel property, Gilroy says it is critical for the long-term future of Vernon. “We are trying to get a development there with shops on the bottom and housing above so we can get more people living downtown,” he said. The Vernon Flower Shop will lease back the building on a monthly basis until it has found alternate premises.

News Trio of robberies keep police busy
BEACH BUSINESS
JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
NATALIA VIGNOLA/MORNING STAR
Solomon Kaleikini takes advantage of a spare table to get some work done in the fresh air at Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park.
Suspects are still at large in three Vernon robberies in the past week and-a-half. Two of the incidents are believed to involve the same suspect – the 32nd Street Shell gas station was robbed July 17 followed by an attempted robbery at M&M Meat Shops July 18. The most recent incident, an armed robbery at the Royal Bank in the Shops at Polson Park July 22, isn’t believed to be related. “We’re looking at two totally different types of operation here,� said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “How the suspect approached the teller, different institutions. There are a number of things that would make us think it is not the individual from earlier.� There are no suspects in the RBC incident and no arrests have been made. RCMP are looking for a male suspect, 25-to 30-years-old, five-foot-nine with a stocky build, brown hair and clean shaven with brown eyes, wearing a black ball cap and a black wind breaker. “The suspect arrived, lifted his shirt indicating, ‘I have a weapon,’ demanded cash. So was a weapon produced no, however there was indication of a weapon,� said Molendyk. The suspect description for the robberies at Shell and M&M’s is: a male, between 19-to 22-years-old, 5’8�, with black hair and brown eyes of average build. He wore a black windbreaker with track pants and a white hat. Anyone with any information on any of the above incidents is asked to contact the RCMP at 250-545-7171 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
Council opposes relocation of marina RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The City of Vernon is opposing plans to relocate a private marina on Okanagan Lake. On Monday, council reaffirmed a 2004 decision that South Bay not be used by the Outback strata on Eastside Road for boat storage. “It was agreed that South Bay would not be a marina and that has never changed,� said Coun. Patrick Nicol. “Public access to South Bay is historical.� The Outback strata has applied to the provincial government to construct a 72-slip marina in South Bay because the existing facility in Quarry Bay is subject to damage by storms. While the city identified the loca-
tion of a marina during the development permit stage for the Outback in 2004, officials admit the agreement with the strata is voluntary and not legally binding. “We have no authority over the lake,� said Leon Gous, chief administrative officer. “Enforcement is with the provincial and federal governments and our resolution doesn’t oblige the feds and the province to do anything. If the province approves the marina, there’s not a lot we can do about it.� Council is asking the province to extend the public input process for the application. “Postponement benefits both groups,� said Nicol of the strata and residents who have concerns. Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee
MLA, has approached the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations about the process. “There are all kinds of opportunities for public input,� said Foster. “The ministry told me the process is at the very beginning.� The Outback strata insists that a marina no longer makes sense in Quarry Bay because kokanee habitat only permitted a temporary structure. “Given that we are not permitted to install a more solid, permanent structure, the marina and breakwater are forced to cope with wave action that temporary structures cannot withstand,� states a letter from the strata’s marina facilities committee. “Adults and children caught on the docks were being heaved around

violently. Safety is as much a part of our rationale to move to South Bay as structural damage.� The committee states the marina would only occupy the western half of South Bay, with the eastern half open for others. “We believe there is more than enough room for us and our immediate southern neighbour.� Concerns about the proposed marina have come from some area residents including Kim Napasaiko. “The basis of damage to their personal property is hardly a sufficient reason to propose such a large and invasive structure with so many negative implications,� said Napasaiko in a letter to the city. “Some of those are property values, fish habitat, safety and swim-

Police cruiser smashed after Grindrod theft JENNIFER SMITH

This RCMP vehicle sustained damage after it was hit by a pickup truck in the Grindrod area.
Morning Star Staff
A suspect in a Grindrod theft was so determined not to get caught that he took out a police cruiser Sunday night. Although the suspect managed to slow officers down, they did eventually catch up with and arrest him. An RCMP car received extensive damage after a white Ford F350 rammed the cruiser in reverse. The incident occurred after a member from the North Okanagan RCMP’s rural detachment attended a report of a fuel theft in the 7300 block of Highway 97A in Grindrod Sunday at 9:30 p.m. “The property owner reported two people were on her rural property and stole an unknown amount of fuel,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. The officer located a truck matching the vehicle description as it was headed towards Grindrod and caught up with the vehicle in a driveway in the 6100 block of Highway 97A. “Our member pulled up directly behind the truck and before he could radio the dispatcher to give his location the suspect vehicle stopped and quickly reversed,” said Molendyk. “Ramming the front of our police car causing extensive damage and disabling

it.” The truck then took off through the yard, out the back driveway and onto Old Salmon Arm Road. The suspect vehicle was discovered parked on a lot on McGowan Street in Enderby. While awaiting the identification section to examine the truck for evidence, an officer observed a male matching the description of the suspect being sought. A 42-year-old suspect has been arrested
and remains in custody at the Enderby detachment. He was expected to appear in court Tuesday to face charges of hit and run, dangerous driving and theft under. Plates on the suspect vehicle were reported stolen out of Armstrong and the truck was reported stolen out of Lake Country. The case remains under investigation and further charges could be laid.
Number of impaired drivers climbs in area JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
It was a short-lived celebration for local RCMP as the number of impaired drivers caught on the roads jumped from one to nine in the past two weeks. Compared to one immediate roadside prohibition (IRP) the week prior, last week saw three 24-hour IRPs (two were alcohol related and one was for drug impairment) plus nine 90-day IRPs and 10 vehicles were impounded. “A significant rise last week,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. There were two large concerts taking place in
the North Okanagan over the weekend, but Molendyk could not say whether the spike in impaireds was associated with the events. Armstrong hosted the Open Air event, featuring 22 heavy metal bands, Friday and Saturday. “I understand there were a few arrests made in the Armstrong area,” said Molendyk. “But I haven’t heard of anything large in nature.” Silver Star hosted the Rarearth Music Fest Saturday and Sunday, but RCMP report it was a low-key event. “There were no problems,” said Molendyk. Along with the spike in IRPs last week, local

City doesn’t want changes to parks service RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Greater Vernon’s conflict over parks and recreation is heating up. Vernon has endorsed the current function structure and it won’t support the removal of some parks, something Coldstream wants so it can provide more direct control over maintenance. “We’re hearing from citizens of Vernon, Coldstream and Areas B and C and they wonder what the heck is going on,” said Wayne Lippert, Vernon mayor.
“They want it left alone. The service serves all of the citizens and it’s been working fine.” Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe doesn’t believe restructuring parks and recreation serves the public. “Anyone I have spoken to supports the function and isn’t unhappy with the service,” she said. O’Keefe isn’t convinced the conflict with Coldstream and the electoral areas can be resolved. “It’s going to be quite a big challenge,” she
“It’s going to be quite a big challenge.” — Mary-Jo O’Keefe said. The city’s decision to support the status quo hasn’t gone over well with Coldstream council. “It’s very disappointing to hear that. I thought we had some progress made,” said Coun. Maria Besso.
Coun. Pat Cochrane is also not impressed. “We’ve just tried to get a little bit of control of our local parks. It should have been easy to do,” he said. Another concern for Coldstream is that while Vernon could gain an additional vote after this
year’s census, it is also the current maintenance contractor for parks. “It’s like you’re in control and you get to collect money too,” said Mayor Jim Garlick. Garlick says the situation with parks and recreation is similar to Vernon wanting to withdraw from Greater Vernon’s water distribution service. “We are in negotiations because the city of Vernon has a problem with the water service

“This can be best achieved in its present form to benefit the entire area recognizing the resources everyone brought to the service when it was formed.” Lippert says his council will look at the position being taken by Coldstream on water. “That’s their decision but it’s a change in position.

and they believe they could do it better in house and more costeffective. We have the same argument with parks,” he said. Coldstream council has indicated it does not support changes to the current water utility. “The utility has made great headway in addressing the requirements set out for it by the Interior Health Authority and needs to continue to do so,” said Garlick.
The Regional District of North Okanagan - Greater Vernon Water Utility (RDNO - GVWU) advises that the Water Quality Advisory will continue until further notice for customers on the Duteau Creek water source. Due to increased irrigation demands, additional seasonal water sources have been brought online. These seasonal water sources are only chlorinated before entering the distribution system, resulting in turbidity that at times exceeds 1.0 NTU. GVWU has been actively monitoring the water quality and all bacterial tests have been clear, however the water quality rating remains as FAIR. Until color and turbidity return to normal, those with young children, the elderly, weakened immune systems or anyone requiring additional protection should boil their water for one (1) minute when using the water for drinking, washing fruit and vegetables, making beverages and brushing teeth. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the RDNO-GVWU at 250.550.3700. Please check the website for information and further updates at www.rdno.ca.

City coughs up, again
T
axpayers may wonder what’s going on at Vernon city hall after another chunk of downtown real estate was snapped up. After all, in the last seven years, the city has acquired the Coldstream Hotel and two adjacent properties for $2.1 million, the Vernon Medical Clinic site for $1.4 million and now the Vernon Flower Shop for $315,000. With such major financial investments, you’d think there would be intensive use of these publicly owned lands. But instead, the Coldstream Hotel parcel is a parking lot while the former medical clinic lands are a mix of parking and walkway. When asked about the intended use for the flower shop, the answer provided by council is there isn’t one. “That’s the area we want to do some redeveloping in,” said Coun. Jack Gilroy. Richard Rolke “We will have more parking downtown until there is a plan for the land.” Mayor Wayne Lippert has suggested the property could eventually evolve into a park and an art walk. Not a bad idea but is that a wise use of $315,000 when many residents continue to struggle with the recession? It’s more than likely that the city does have a plan for the site but isn’t in a position to reveal the details just yet. Using my crystal ball, I would suspect that there’s a direct link between the city’s latest acquisition and the ongoing demands of the Greater Vernon Museum and the Vernon Public Art Gallery for a new home. In some ways the setting would make sense as it’s located across 31st Avenue from Cenotaph Park — where the gallery’s recent Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts fundraiser was held — and near murals for two of Vernon’s legendary artists — Sveva Caetani and Axel

Ebring. A cultural corridor would automatically appear. But the museum and art gallery aren’t packing their bags for the flower shop just yet, because of some outstanding issues. Primarily, the city is waiting to see if its partners in parks, recreation and culture — Coldstream and the two electoral areas — will come to the table for capital and operating costs. If they opt to sit on the sidelines, will Vernon go it alone with a project that benefits everyone? A go-slow approach has also become necessary as a process that was initiated by the art gallery has recently been joined by the museum. Both groups must sit down and consider their space requirements and then determine if there are areas of shared interest such as a lobby, education rooms and climate control. Finally, the city wants to ensure all of its ducks are in a row before potentially going to the public to borrow money. That makes sense after the public whipping council and staff took in 2007 — a $30 million plan for city offices, a library and art gallery was first shot down by a petition and then during a referendum. As mentioned earlier, if the flower shop site is destined to become the art gallery and the museum, it could likely work. However, it is important to point out that the reason for purchasing the Coldstream Hotel property in 2004 was to create a cultural showcase with the gallery and museum. That concept was subsequently abandoned for one that sees residential and commercial activities spurring downtown revitalization. The problem is that no developers have been banging down the doors at city hall and the Coldstream Hotel continues to be an expensive parking lot. Before using tax dollars to buy yet more property, city council should have looked at its existing land inventory to meet the long neglected needs of the art gallery and museum.
It was difficult to watch NDP leader Jack Layton address the media Monday in announcing his temporary departure from his duties as leader of the official Opposition. He looked gaunt and frail and sounded weak as he delivered the shocking news that he was battling a new cancer and would need to take time off to once again ward off the disease. This news, coming just weeks after Layton wowed a nation on the campaign trail with his charm and energy in leading his party to a remarkable 103 seats, is both ironic and sad. The man most view as the single reason why the NDP is in uncharted territory in both popularity and power, is leaving his fellow MPs, many of them rookies in Ottawa, just when they need him most. However, in typical bulldog fashion, Layton vows to be back for the September session of Parliament to hold the Conservative government accountable, and it’s safe to say that Canadians share his optimism and wish him well. Many who saw him Monday may think he is being too optimistic but many of those same people likely thought Layton had little chance of success in the last election campaign, fresh off a battle with prostate cancer and hip surgery. Cane in hand, he promptly kicked political butt. That bodes well for the personal campaign against cancer he now must wage and if a positive attitude and strong will count for anything, then it would be foolish to bet against him. His party must find a way to get by without the man who led them to new heights for at least the short term. And attempting to bring his passion and commitment to this country and its citizens would be a great start.

HST making industry stronger
W
e have heard a lot of talk about the downside of the HST. There is a lot of information online and in the media that does an excellent job addressing many of the unfounded claims by some of the most outspoken critics, so I will not do that here. Rather, I do want to share what the impact of the HST is on our company — an impact shared by many companies throughout B.C. The HST reduces our cost of production, increasing our competitiveness and ability to reinvest in our mills. Plus, it significantly reduces the administrative complexities and expense of working under separate provincial and federal sales tax systems. Our contractors agree: Sue Hagarty, Controller of Roga Contracting says, “The introduction of HST has allowed Roga to reduce its costs in areas such as trucking, road building and crew transportation. This cost reduction has helped us retain our longterm workforce while the industry continues to stabilize itself.“ The HST is definitely making our industry stronger, which helps make our province
VOTE YES The fact that we are being inundated with pro-HST ads and letters has prompted me to respond with three easy questions to the proponents of HST. When you are at a retail business, and notice that the prices have not gone down, ask the owner if they had a PST number, which exempted them from paying PST on goods for resale. When you hear the radio ads stating that the HST rate is going to fall from 12 to 10 per cent, ask yourself could not the provincial government have done the same with PST? And last, again when you hear those ads, why do they never mention that it will take a couple of years, are they conveniently ignoring that fact in order to influence your vote? Remember to vote. Craig Leverman NO PARKING Responding to a letter from B. Clore regarding 20th Street upgrad-
stronger. A more competitive forest products industry supports above-average wages for thousands of families, strong contribution to local economies through our municipal taxation payments, and provides opportunities for countless secondary businesses, suppliers, and transporters. We are in a highly competitive global market during an extremely difficult period for our industry. Every advantage to meet the international pricing levels to be a player in countries like
ing. The residents of 20th Street, between 43rd Ave. and 48th Ave., do not deny that the street looks pretty and that bike lanes are nice and modern, however we would like to have the same benefits as other Vernon taxpayers. Because of "no on-street parking whatsoever" we cannot host a birthday or Christmas party, nor a bridal or baby shower, or a christening or bar mitzvah celebration, or have a family gathering, or even have a garage sale. These are normal functions for the Canadian family and we are denied these privileges because we have no parking for our guests. Most residences have parking for two vehicles and most families are two-car families. Do the math - where do our guests park? This part of 20th Street is not on a bus route. We bought these residences so we would have the freedoms of residential living. If we wanted to be restricted to two parking spaces, we could have bought an apartment. And even most apartments have guest parking
China and Japan is crucial. Likewise, every disadvantage (like operating under an antiquated taxation system) hurts. Still you may ask, how do we know that the HST will leave you and your family better off? Perhaps most telling is what the premiers of provinces with HST are saying about our choice. When asked what would happen if the HST were defeated in B.C., Premier of Ontario Dalton McGuinty said: “There’s no doubt about it, it will give us a
or on-street parking. We were not included in the planning of this upgrade, we were only advised to come and view the plans after they were drawn up. At this time, many of us voiced our displeasure at the fact that there was no on-street parking - No one listened! No one cares! It just looks good on paper, but it is not practical and it hasn't had the desired effect of slowing or diminishing traffic as far as we have noticed. The only thing that has changed are the comments we receive from people wondering who came up with this brilliant (insert sarcasm here) idea. Whether our properties may no longer be desirable because of this no on-street parking debacle remains to be seen, but B. Clore, how would you like not be able to have any company visit you for the rest of your time? Elaine Dubois SMOKING REALITIES Now that ex-smoker and letter writer Alli Graham has analyzed
competitive advantage.” Ontario introduced the HST at the same time as BC, but without the uncertainty of a referendum. More than half of all new Canadian jobs were created in Ontario during the past six months. Frank McKenna, former premier of New Brunswick, writes in a July 5 article: “The HST not only delivered on its promise to create jobs, but also good-paying ones, as more productive companies tend to offer higher wages.” New Brunswick introduced the HST in 1997 along with Newfoundland and Labrador, and Nova Scotia. McKenna further noted that in the years following the introduction of the HST in Atlantic Canada, “…the standard of living in the three provinces outpaced that of the rest of Canada.” This is a choice that will have tremendous affect on our province’s future. Please take the time to do your homework on what keeping or losing the HST means – and then vote. For me, the answer is clear: we can all be a part of an improved BC economy by voting “NO” to extinguishing the HST. Brad Thorlakson, President & CEO Tolko Industries Ltd.
smoking behaviour as “a crutch…, a destructive habit…, a deadly habit/ addiction”, and a behaviour from which she quit “cold turkey” (yet it took 20 years to accomplish), I wonder why she is so down on help for those who have a problem quitting the weed? Although I agree that patches and gum should not be considered suitable governmental aids for smokers, the inclusion of this group of people free services to addicts would be a start. Like any addict (alcoholics or drug addicts), smokers deserve to have help to give up a behaviour that places them and their families at risk. Our governments, after all, help to get them there by collecting huge taxes from this poison and, within my lifetime, allowed advertising to hook our kids. All people deserve help with behaviours that have taken control of them. The brain/reason alone does not do well with such addictions. And yes, I smoked for 30 plus years, so I do understand both sides of the story. Dave Bosomworth

It’s uncertain if B.C. Winter Games volunteers will have to pay for criminal record checks. The organizers of the February 2012 event have asked the City of Vernon to waive fees but currently there is no charge for bona fide charitable groups. “Right now, the dollar value is zero,” said Leon Gous, the city’s chief administrative officer. Games organizers requested that council waive the $25 criminal record check fee for each of about 500 volunteers or a total of $12,500. “We’re worried the fees will come in before the Games and screw up our volunteers,” said Coun.

Armstrong officials are ready to welcome a heavy metal concert back even though the event hit a sour note with some residents. Armstrong Open Air, which featured 22 heavy metal bands, took place at the fairgrounds Friday and Saturday. “We’re always looking for ways to get revenue for the grounds and any event that is well organized, we’d look forward to. It was well organized,” said Mayor Chris Pieper. “The event went off fairly clean. The police were happy.” RCMP report there were a couple of incidents of public intoxication during the event.

Aboriginal icon plays Komasket Morning Star Staff
Countless artists over the generations have covered the great Elvis Presley. But how many people can say that Elvis covered them? Come to Komasket Music Festival on July 30 and 31 and you will see one such legend herself. Buffy Saint-Marie will be hitting the stage on Saturday night, entertaining audiences with the many classics she has added to her songbook over her five-decade long career. “We were so blown away by both the performance Buffy delivered at the Komasket Music Festival in 2008, and the crowd’s response, that when we realized we had the opportunity to present her again at this year’s 10th annual event it just felt completely right,” said Thomas Thomas, creative director and co-founder of Komasket. Saint-Marie was born on a Cree reserve in Qu’Appelle Valley, Sask., but she was adopted and raised in Maine and Massachusetts. She received a PhD in Fine Arts from the University of Massachusetts and now resides in Hawaii. She also holds degrees in both Oriental philosophy and teaching, influences which form the backbone of her music, visual art and social activism. Her eclectic sound, falling into categories as diverse as rock, folk, country and pop, has captivated her audience not only though its catchy beats and Saint-Marie’s soulful voice, but through the socially conscious messages
PHOTO SUBMITTED
Buffy Saint-Marie and her Manitoba band will be taking the stage at the 10th annual Komasket Music Festival, playing hits like Universal Soldier, Until It’s Time for You to Go, and the Academy Award winning song Up Where We Belong from the movie An Officer and a Gentleman. within the lyrics. The anti-war anthem Universal Soldier holds up a mirror to the complacent public, while No No Keshagesh (keshagesh is a Cree word meaning greedy puppy) from her most
recent release Running For The Drum, addresses the issue of corporate greed. She is not without an emotional side, as evident in her songs Until It’s Time for You to
Go, covered by Presley, Cher and Barbra Streisand, and Up Where We Belong, the Academy-Awardwinning track from the feature film An Officer and a Gentleman. Her activism did get her into
trouble during the Lyndon Johnson years. She was blacklisted from the airwaves along with other outspoken artists like Eartha Kitt and Taj Mahal. But it was during this time that her fame and notoriety grew within “Indian Country” and abroad. She continued to appear at countless grassroots concerts and activist benefits. She made 17 albums, three of her own television specials, scored movies and spent five years on Sesame Street with her son Dakota Starblanket Wolfchild. She also helped found the ‘Music of Aboriginal Canada’ category and the Juno Awards. At age 69 she doesn’t appear to be slowing down at all. When she doesn’t have a full touring schedule she is at her home in Hawaii writing and recording. “She has taken her show to a whole new level with a backing band of First Nations musicians from Winnipeg,” said Thomas. “We saw a show recently in London and the power and soulfulness of the band really melted the cold London atmosphere. “Buffy is one of those artists who totally epitomizes everything (the festival) has always strived to represent: gutsy, from the heart, and always on the edge. It’s really a great honour to feature her on Saturday on the Mountain Stage.” The Komasket Music Festival is taking place from Friday to Sunday at Komasket Park on Westside Road.

KATH and the TOM KATS
Play well worth a visit Continued from A11 These four lovers and Bottom the Weaver, endearingly portrayed by Mike Wasko, are the only parts not duplicated by the actors. The other tradesmen – and woman (Jennifer Paterson as Starveling) – double as earthy fairies who perform Titania's bedtime ablutions with hilarious efficiency. Rough, tough Titania (Manon Beaudoin) doubles as Theseus's bride Hippolyta—equally and amusingly rough and tough—to the extent that this might be a taming of a shrew rather than a dream. Dawn Petten takes on the two traditionally male roles of Egeus and Puck. The script is cleverly kneaded to transform her from Hermia's father to her mother and Mistress instead of Master of the Revels. Her edited role as mother seems to reduce the sexism of
forcing her daughter to marry against her will. Meanwhile, Puck can be mischievous in either gender and his/her common name, Robin (Robyn) Goodfellow, fits both sexes. Petten's lusty energy keeps up the pace and her wit keeps up our spirits. The script is also kneaded to change the cause of Titania's and Oberon's argument and thereby, the source of the play's confusion and fun: the changeling boy
becomes an exquisite brown “colt” (Victor). One last individual mention: Josh Drebit's performance as Snout, from the beginning when he and Quince (Michael Rinaldi) create a glorious routine out of bringing a box marked “FRAGILE” on stage, to the end when he portrays a wall at the wedding celebrations, is grounded, true and very funny. But really, like most Caravan productions,

STORK REPORT
PHOTO SUBMITTED
Janet Crich competes at a quarter horse show with her mare, Maggie. “Tough Enough to Wear Pink is a Wrangler breast cancer campaign,” she said. “Horsey people can relate to that, which is why I used the slogan on my poster.”
Survivor pledges to keep walking Morning Star Staff
Janet Crich calls herself a lucky woman. “I’m lucky because I had cancer and survived. Others are not so lucky. Many others have not survived their battle with cancer, many families have lost their moms, wives, daughters and sisters to this terrible disease,” she said. “If you haven’t been directly affected by cancer, think for just a second what it would be like to have the next thing your mom/ sister/wife tells is that she had cancer. Imagine for just a second what your life would be like if she was gone.” Crich will be taking part in the Shoppers Drug Mart Weekend to End Women’s Cancers to benefit the BC Cancer Foundation the weekend of Aug. 13 and 14 in Vancouver. It will be the fifth time she has been in the walk since she survived breast cancer in 2004 and she vows to
walk every year until a cure is found. “When something like this happens to someone you care about, the first thing you think about is, ‘I wish there was something I could do to help.’ Well, there is. You can help by supporting me in my fundraising efforts to help find a cure,” said Crich, who lives in Spallumcheen. “I’ve been asked in the past about overhead costs of this event and how much of the money raised goes to research. Only my registration money goes to overhead/administration,
and all the rest goes to research and to support care for cancer patients. So that means that all of the money you support me with will help find a cure. Please help me help others.” This is the eighth annual Shoppers Drug Mart Weekend to End Women’s Cancers Walk in Vancouver. Money raised will finance breast cancer initiatives, improve treatment and develop prevention programs, as well as support the fight against gynecologic cancers. The two-day 60K or one-day 30K walk through Vancouver

To help her reach this goal, see www.endcancer.ca to make a donation online or call 604-684-WALK (9225). “I am lucky because I have the most wonderful husband in the world. I am lucky because I am retired and live on the most beautiful farm in the Okanagan. I am
lucky because I have a wonderful family and friends. I want to help others who are not so lucky.” One in nine Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.

Pagans celebrate their pride Morning Star Staff
(August to October,) people will join other Pagan Pride celebrations around the world. Aradia expects that the Okanagan event will draw somewhere between 50 to 150 participants between local Pagans and the curious. The Pagan Pride Project was started in the U.S. in 1997 by Cecylyna Dewr and the Pagan Awareness League with a purpose of fighting the discrimination that often faces those who follow earthbased religions through education, charity and public awareness. Pagan Pride events include a food drive in the spirit of thanksgiving and gratitude that is part of most Pagan Autumn Equinox celebrations. Sponsored by the Congregationalist Wiccan Association of BC and The Threads That Bind Us, the celebration takes place from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For more information, see http:// paganprideokanagan.webs.com.
Okanagan Wiccans, Druids, Pagans, Witches, Heathens, Shamans and members of many other earthbased faiths will gather once again to celebrate their Pagan Pride Aug. 6 at Cenotaph Park in Vernon. More than 100 gatherings around the world will join together in this annual world-wide celebration of Pagan and earth-based faiths, said local coordinator Sable Aradia, a Witch born and raised in Vernon. “Okanagan Pagan Pride Day will feature informative speakers, a Druid harvest ritual, live entertainment, and interesting Pagan, metaphysical, and ‘green’ vendors,” she said. “Bring a non-perishable food item to support the food bank, and get your Tarot cards read for your donation to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation’s Run for the Cure.” Throughout the time of the harvest

CARA BRADY/MORNING STAR
Helen Hill celebrates her 100th birthday. She was born July 18, 1911 at Sundial, Alta.
Happy 100th Morning Star Staff
Helen Hill is the first Vernon Restholm resident to turn 100. She was born July 18, 1911 at Sundial, Alta. and went to school there in the school van which was drawn by horses. “School was all right. I had to go, you know, they wouldn’t let me stay home,” she said. What she did like to do was sew, and after she married and moved to Claresholm, Alta., she had her own tailor shop making all kinds of clothes, including men’s suits. She and her husband had three children but two of them died young. Hill has three grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and four great-greatgrandchildren. She moved to Vernon six years ago. “I was always busy. There was so much to do. Now I don’t do much but I like it here,” she said. Daughter Grace Doyle knows she’s lucky to have her mother still with the family. “Mom just lived a good, kind life. She keeps us all on our toes and laughing,” she said.
Just as the baby boomer generation has created massive changes in society’s norms as it reached various milestones in life’s progression, it continues to do so as women of this generation do not see retirement in the same way as their ancestors. According to Lynn Moore, creator of Clear Goals Coaching, these women are the front wave of the new retirement. “This age group and gender will be the most long-lived and in better health than any previous generation and they want to be productive,” she said. “These women have experienced more rapid change, more accumulation of knowledge and more life adjustments than any past generation. “Their accumulated wisdom is apparent and they want to use it creatively. They see themselves as purposeful for several more decades and are looking for a fulfillment they have not yet experienced.” Even more than these circumstances, said Moore, women are unwilling to look at their future as one of traditional retirement because they are motivated by a more spiritual need to bring additional contributions to society. They want to leave a legacy of new values through living their life purpose as they assist others to do the same. Tony Robbins, in
his teachings of the Six Basic Human Needs, points out that growth and contribution are the two primary needs in life. Moore feels that clearly, this group of women is motivated by these two primary needs. Her career as a life coach/ mentor teaching her proprietary system of choosing and attaining goals in a new way for a new age, has discovered this desire within most of her mature, female clients. “I hear them saying, ‘I know there is something out there that I am supposed to do; there is something more for me.’” It is to this end that Moore was inspired to record a 50-minute mp3 titled Revealed! Six Reasons Why Baby Boomer Women Are the Most Influential Group On The Planet And How To Get Extreme Clarity About Your Most Meaningful And Exciting Years Yet. This recording is a free download on Moore’s website and is intended to give baby boomer women insight
into what they are sensing and why, that they are not alone and that they do indeed have a new role in society that is much needed. Moore created Clear Goals Coaching, an Internet business designed to serve clients across the globe and support her lifestyle as summertime Canadian resident and a Snowbird in the U.S. during winter. She is the author of Inspirational Goaling, creator of How
To Get What You Want Every Time a five-CD and Action Book coaching program. She is available for speaking engagements and deliv-
ers coaching services to private clients and groups worldwide. For more information see www. ClearGoalsCoaching.com

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The one time when you should let your heart rule your head is when you’re contemplating doing something charitable. Think of it as an opportunity waiting to develop. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You might want to take a little extra time to preen and primp if you’re going to a social function. There is a good chance you’ll run into someone you’d like to impress.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Get all the messy stuff out of the way early, so that you’ll be able to get out, run some errands and/or circulate later on. You can only stay in one place just so long. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you want to invite some friends over to your place, you’d be better off doing so in either late afternoon or early evening. By then, most people have gotten the important stuff out of the way. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Get off of your hammock or out of your easy chair and move around as much as possible. You’re one of those people who need physical activities to make you feel peppy. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’re in a cycle, albeit brief, where your financial and material aspects are likely to be advanced. You could even receive something of value from a person who likes you a lot.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) If you’ve been too busy of late to be as attentive or affectionate to your mate or special someone, it’s a good day to make amends and do something nice for that person. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Working on a labor of love could turn out to be enormously gratifying for you. Don’t waste your time on dumb things that don’t offer any kind of rewards at all.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Think of anything foreign as an opportunity waiting to be developed. There’s a good chance you’ll be more fortunate with goods and/or people who come from a distance.

Bridge by Phillip Alder The captain needs help from partner Confucius said, “You can successfully force people to follow a certain course, but you cannot force them to understand it.” At the bridge table, when you need input from your partner, you hope that he understands what you want. Look at the North hand. Your partner opens one spade, you raise to two spades, and he rebids three diamonds. What would you do now? Why? After one spade - two spades, the opener usually passes or jumps to four spades. If he does anything else, he expresses an interest in trying to get to game. When he bids a new suit, he is asking the responder
not to worry so much about his point count, but to look at the two bid suits. With good holdings in those suits, the responder should jump to game; with bad holdings, he should sign off in three spades. In this deal, North has only six high-card points, but he has magic holdings in the pointed suits, in particular that fourth spade (nine-card fits are wonderful) and the ruffing value in diamonds. North should bid four spades. West will probably start with three rounds of hearts. After ruffing the last of those, how should South continue? South has five losers in his hand: two hearts, two diamonds and one club. He
must ruff two diamonds on the board. He leads a diamond to dummy’s king, plays a diamond to his ace, and ruffs a diamond with dummy’s spade nine, so that East cannot overruff. Back to hand with a spade, declarer ruffs his last diamond with the spade king, draws trumps, and claims.

Saturday night in the Saloon went off with a bang as Space Monkey played live after the festival for the young and the young at heart. “Overall the weekend was a great success and just another event we’re proud to have had the opportunity to host here at Silver Star,” said Galbraith.
It was a weekend to remember at Silver Star as the resort hosted its first Rarearth music festival. “It was a fantastic weekend with so many around the resort enjoying the music, hiking tours, craft and food vendors and of course the mountain biking,” said Ian Galbraith, summer business manager for the resort. “Everyone had a great time which was no surprise with the incredible weather.” The Silver Star campground was full as guests had plenty of activities to choose from, which was one of the features that drew the festival to Silver Star. “We want you to have a stay-cation in your own backyard – bring your family, your friends and just enjoy,” said Kath Raeber, organizer for Rarearth. From hiking tours and horse-back trail rides to fresh pastries and cold beverages the weekend promised so much more than music and mountain-biking, and it delivered. The Rarearth lineup appealed to a wide audience with unique performers including Delhi 2 Dublin, Brick House, Vernon artist Jodi Pederson and true to Silver Star, Australian group Mason Rack. “It was such a great

Black picks up two B.C. dailies Morning Star Staff
Black Press, B.C.’s largest publisher of community newspapers and websites, has announced the purchase of the Cranbrook Daily Townsman and the Kimberley Daily Bulletin. The two dailies, published Monday to Friday, have a combined circulation of 5,000 and are the only dailies serving the East Kootenay region of B.C. The deal will close at the end of August. “They will continue to run under their current business plan and we anticipate few changes,” said Rick O’Connor, chief operating officer of Black Press, parent company of The Morning Star. The Daily Townsman and the Daily Bulletin were owned by Don Kendall, former Morning Star publisher. Black Press also owns the regional weekly publication, The Kootenay Advertiser, also based in Cranbrook. “We will also continue to operate our existing title under its current business plan as the two main publications serve different markets and audiences,’ said O’Connor. Black Press will invest in improving the press operations at the Daily Townsman over the next year and is also investing in additional bindery equipment at the Kootenay Advertiser. “We are very bullish on the future economic prospects of the Kootenay region,” said David Black, Black Press chief executive officer. “We feel there will be substantial economic growth in that area in the next decade and we are pleased to be taking a stronger media position in the Cranbrook region.” Black Press owns and operates over 150 newspapers, several printing plants and hundreds of websites in B.C., Alberta, Washington State, Hawaii and Ohio. It is Canada’s largest independent newspaper publishing company.

On side with HST’s No vote
T
he B.C. government has released its audited public accounts for what Bill Vander Zalm enthusiasts strain to depict as Year One of the Harmonized Sales Tax Apocalypse. So let’s survey this allegedly bleak landscape of shuttered hair salons and seniors hoarding pet food, waiting for Belgian bureaucrats to come calling for more. Retail sales increased 5.3 per cent in 2010. Growth has softened so far this year, but there’s no evidence it’s due to the HST (Retail sales are mostly goods, which are mostly unaffected). B.C.’s economy grew by four per cent, third in Canada behind those new northern tigers Saskatchewan and Newfoundland. We beat Alberta as well as havenot Ontario. The provincial deficit dropped by nearly a billion dollars, even though spending on government services continued its relentless rise with another billion-dollar increase. That’s four per cent spending growth, the same as the growth
rate of the economy. But as usual, two thirds of it is health-care spending, growing closer to twice that fast. Hair salons? My barber voted No to Vander Zalm. His accounting is simpler, his price is still Tom Fletcher reasonable and customers aren’t generally prepared to start cutting their own hair. Restaurant association head Ian Tostenson predicted thousands of restaurants would close because of HST, and then mused about running for premier. Fortunately, we were spared from both of these scenarios. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon put out some spin about how tight-fisted spending control brought the deficit down from the 10-figure range. Prudence, he called it. Prune juice is more like it. It was economic growth that paid the bills, with mills and mines opening and consumers spending. Former premier Bill Bennett’s observation still applies: B.C. is a
B.C. VIEWS
small, open resource economy in a volatile world market. Commodity markets have strengthened to the point where even the rising Canadian dollar is being overcome. Expansion to Asia is proceeding, assisted by a long-term federalprovincial strategy that the NDP opposed. A skilled labour shortage already exists in the B.C. northeast and is forecast to spread across the province.
The government’s latest labour market survey estimates that B.C. will be in a labour shortage by 2016, and there will be one million job openings by 2020. One third of these will come from economic growth, two thirds from retiring baby boomers. Unlike next year’s HST revenues, this prediction is relatively easy to make with precision. Job growth does depend, however, on a competitive tax environ-
ment, with competition from Ontario and elsewhere. The public accounts also confirm what we found out last fall, that HST revenues have run ahead of expectations. HST haters like to claim the tax was promised to be revenue neutral. That finance ministry estimate was only for the first year, and it proved pessimistic. As with gasoline prices, external forces drown out B.C. tax adjustments in the
short term. Currently it looks as if going back to the old provincial sales tax will cost the treasury about $600 million in revenue in each of the next few years. HST rate cuts are made up by economic growth. Or we can return to a 60-year-old retail sales tax developed for a post-war, pre-service economy, and continue a B.C. political debate that revolves around 30-yearold socialist ideology.
The deficit will immediately jump back up to the 10-digit range. So if your HST referendum envelope is still in the bottom of your recycling bin, you might consider fishing it out and casting a No vote. They have to be delivered to Elections BC by Aug. 5.

Steckly smooth in Dub 300 Pockets $10,500 in NASCAR win before 6,000 fans KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Give him Papa burgers, root beer, poutine and whistle dogs for life at the Vernon A&W stores. They may as well make Scott Steckly an honourary A&W lifetime gift card after he made history in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series Cruisin’ The Dub 300 in front of 6,000-plus fans Saturday night at the MotoPlex Speedway and Event Park. Steckly, 39, of Milverton, Ont., became the first driver in the five-year history of the The Dub 300 to win multiple times at the half-mile tri-oval after winning here last summer with a late race push past D.J. Kennington. Steckly, who posted the fastest qualifying time of 18.3 seconds, also has three runner-up placings in Vernon. Steckly again finished just ahead of Kennington, holding off the pack in a 10-lap sprint to the finish to claim his 10th career victory on the tour and first since he drove his #22 Canadian Tire/MotoMaster Dodge to Victory Lane in the season opener at Mosport Speedway in May. The race, which lasted two hours and 19 minutes, featured a dozen yellow caution flags, mainly due to cars spinning out on the turns. The race lead exchanged hands eight times among three drivers. Kennington, driving a #17 Castrol Edge Dodge, has top-five runs in all his MotoPlex starts. He held the lead lap for 135 laps, tops on the warm night, ending up 7/10ths of a second back of Steckly. “The car wasn’t the best at the beginning. That’s for sure,” said Steckly, who pocketed $10,500. “We had adjustability built into the car and that’s what you have to have here.” Steckly gambled and won on a tire strategy that differed from the bulk of the field. By lap 180, he had already replaced all four tires which was the limit for the night. “We went into the race looking to wait until lap 220 or so, but the way the cautions were falling, we thought we could lap a bunch of guys on a long green-flag run,” said Steckly. “My crew does an awesome job every

Steckly won his second straight race in Vernon. week. They’re the best in the business.” Kennington, the defending Series champion who turned 34 last week, was semi excited about his race which netted him $7,000. “Second place is a good night, but it’s sure not what we wanted,” said the dejected driver from St. Thomas, Ont. “The car took about 10 laps or so to get going, so those short runs there at the end really hurt us. On the longer runs I was able to run him down a little. We’ll take it (second) and take off for Saskatoon (Velocity Prairie Thunder race tonight).” Kerry Micks of Mount Albert, Ont., proving that age 50 is the new 40, guided his #02 Dickies/Beyond Digital Imaging Ford Fusion to third place and $5,000. Moments after he climbed out of his car, he was approached by an angry 23-yearold J.R. Fitzpatrick of Cambridge, who steered the #64 Equipment Express/Shick Chevrolet. NASCAR officials intervened before any serious carnage could be done. “Me and J.R. touched (on turn 4),” said
right-side tires. She made a pit stop and re-entered the race two laps down in the #25 A&W Cruisin’ For A Cause Chevrolet she borrowed from Jason White of Kamloops. Cornett-Ching retired with eight laps remaining due to suspension damage. Steckly increased his points standings lead on Kennington to 97 points after bringing a 92-point advantage into the night. Fitzpatrick remains in third followed by Thomson and Micks. The A&W Cruisin’ The Dub 300 will be telecast on TSN at 11 a.m. PT this Saturday. PIT STOPS: A&W T-shirts and stuffies were tossed into the crowd during breaks in the action...The 50-50 jackpot of $3,700 was won by a local roofer...Steckly hit 98 miles an hour in qualifying, while the average speed in the race was just under 65 MPH...

Micks. “He’s hit me a few times this year and I’ve hit him a few times. Television doesn’t lie. J.R. got loose and I touched him.” Micks was thrilled to earn a sweet paycheque in the longest dash of the Series season – 150 miles. “It feels great,” said Micks. “That’s what NASCAR is all about. You gotta put on a good show and we got a podium. “Third place is a good run tonight, but we’re going to have this car just right real soon.” Ron Beauchamp Jr., of Windsor, in the #60 Mopar/Mobil 1 Dodge, and Mark Dilley of Barrie, Ont. in the #9 Rheem/Exide Dodge, completed the top-five. Don Thomson Jr., of Hamilton led the next group in sixth with Brampton’s Pete Shepherd III seventh and Fitzpatrick eighth. Nathan Weenk of Lethbridge and Jim White of Kamloops completed the top-10. Sara Cornett-Ching of Penticton, making her series debut, settled for 14th place in a field of 21.

Sports Raiders collect lacrosse crown WARREN HENDERSON Black Press Sports
EMANUEL SEQUEIRA/BLACK PRESS
Coach Travis Wray is happy he doesn’t have to utter those words anymore. The same goes for every player on the Kelowna Raiders. “I kept saying: ‘It’s been 10 years, it’s been 10 years since a team from here has won.’ I know the guys were tired of hearing that,” said Wray. “Now they don’t have to be reminded of it anymore.” The Raiders this week became the first Kelownabased team in a decade to win the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League title. The Rutland Raiders were the last zone junior B champs back in 2001. Kelowna clinched the 2011 championship Sunday night with a 5-3 win over the hometown and defending champion Kamloops Venom. Kelowna dropped the series opener last week at home but then reeled off three straight wins, thanks in large part to their defensive play. On Sunday, the Venom led 3-1 after the first period but failed to score over the final 40 minutes as Kelowna buckled down, then notched four unanswered goals to secure the TOJLL crown. “I’ve never seen a defence play as tight as we did and that was the difference,” said Wray, who coaches the Raiders with Kelly Cahill. “Their goaltender (Andrew) Copeland was sensational and he kept them in the series. Once were able to crack him and get some goals they had a hard time coming back against our defence.” The Kelowna Raiders grounded the visiting Kamloops Rattlers 14-6 Monday night in Game 1 of the Okanagan Xtreme Lacrosse League best-ofthree semifinal series at Memorial Arena.
Longtime Vernon Vipers’ owner Duncan Wray makes his B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame acceptance speech Friday night in Penticton.
Hooray for Vipers’ Wray Team owner enters Hockey Hall of Fame with NHLers, Knights KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Joe Sakic, Jack McIlhargey, Rob Shick, Duncan Wray. Hmm, which one of these names doesn’t seem to belong? Even Wray wondered in awe how he was being mentioned in the same breath as those NHLers, but he was certainly worthy of the grouping Friday night before 700 at the South Okanagan Events Centre. Wray, 61, was one of four men inducted into the prestigious B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame. The 1986 Centennial Cup national junior A champion Penticton Knights also joined the shrine. Noting that he was extremely honoured and humbled to be in such select company, Wray said he earned success as owner of the four-time national junior A champion Vernon Vipers by surrounding himself with great coaches and players. Wray, an oral surgeon who bought the then Vernon Lakers on May 29, 1992, said he has no plans to stop building winners. “I’ve got more energy now that I’m retired from my practice,” Wray told The Morning Star. “I’ve got a lot more to give.” The son of a financial adviser, Wray grew up in Montreal, where he attended college and university before transfer-
ring to the University of Pittsburgh and Dalhousie University in Halifax. He played minor and high school hockey in Montreal, and during his acceptance speech, poked fun at his career. “One of my coaches once told me, ‘Kid, if someone passes you the puck, pass it back to them because they’ve obviously made a mistake.’ Another coach used to call me Poison Ivy. Years later, I asked why he called me Poison Ivy. Was it because I got under the other team’s skiN? He said, ‘No, it was because you were always a scratch.’” Wray, whose teams have won seven B.C. Hockey League titles, had to chuckle at being cheered in Penticton, one of Vernon’s fiercest rival cities. “The irony of being inducted in Penticton is not lost on me,” said Wray, after receiving his induction plaque and ring from his close friend and induction commitee member Darcy Rota. “Not many people from Vernon have been cheered in this facility.” Wray said the night was magical since his wife, Libby, and four of the couple’s children, sat at his table. Outgoing Viper head coach/GM Mark Ferner and Rota also joined the Wray table. Sakic, who finished with 1,641 points in an all-star career, told the crowd his parents moved from Croatia and met in Vancouver, where they married. He said he was cut by his Pee Wee team at the North Shore Winter Club, but persevered. McIlhargey, 59, said he has been
involved in the game for 40 years and never felt like he was going to work. He played eight years as an NHL defenceman with the Flyers, Canucks and Whalers. Shick, a longtime referee out of Port Alberni who worked 130 playoff games, said it was gratifying for his side of the business to be recognized. Shick, 54, whose nephew Todd Miller, is the voice of the Vipers, took a shot at the rugged McIlhargey. “Jack, some people ask me, especially my son, “Dad, whose Jack McIlhargey?’ I said, ‘Jack was the type of player that made you work even harder for the safety of the more talented players.’” The Knights became just the 10th team, and second from Penticton, along with the 1955 world champion Vees, to be inducted into the shrine. Head coach/GM Rick Kozuback said the Knights were inspired at the ‘55 Vees banner at old Memorial Arena during practices. The Knights defeated the host Cole Harbour Colts of Nova Scotia 7-4 in the ‘86 Centennial Cup. Cole Harbour had shaded Penticton 6-5 in opening round-robin play. Defenceman Kevan Melrose of the Knights was named tournament MVP, while Penticton’s David Shields took Most Sportsmanlike Player and made the all-star team at centre. The likes of Greg Cyr, John dePourcq, Lee Davidson, Jamie Loewen, Warren Sharples, Al Novakowski and Scott Rawson were on the championship Knights.

United U18 girls high on Europe trek Morning Star Staff
The second part of the Vernon United U18 girls Euro team’s tour saw them enjoy Germany. After watching Japan defeat Sweden 3-1 in the FIFA Women’s World Cup semifinal, the team visited Heidelberg Thursday, July 14 and then played their first game in Germany that night. The opponents were TSV Amicita Viernheim and the result was a very entertaining 4-4 tie. Breanna Irvine opened the scoring 10 minutes in from a nice feed from Holly Ketter. Amicita tied it up seven minutes later. Ashley Krause scored from 10 yards out after a nice pass from Sachiko Ouchi. Amicita tied it up again a few moments later, but Ketter gave the Canadians a 3-2 halftime lead after some nifty passing from Kirsty Lewis and Lindsey Krause. The Germans scored twice in the opening 25 minutes of the second half to take a 4-3 lead, but with eight minutes remaining, keeper Aynsley Orobko punted the ball downfield and Ashley Krause tied it up on a breakaway for her second goal of the game. “A barbecue followed at the team’s clubhouse where it was later learned that a member of the Amicita team is also on Germany’s National Women’s Hockey team,” said Vernon head coach Ron Krause.

Vernon Liquor Store Celtics’ Bryan Schenker maneuvers the ball away from the reaching feet of Bosman Accounting’s Mike Barrajon during men’s 35+ soccer play Monday night at Marshall Field #2.
Celtics bounce Bosman Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Square Liquor Store Celtics booked their second consecutive Okanagan Men’s Over 35 Soccer League victory with a 5-1 grounding of Vernon’s Bosman Accounting Monday night at Marshall Field #2. Backed by a strong wind and an early goal, the Celtics stormed to a 4-0 lead by half time. The first goal fell in the fifth minute when a spinning ball landed in front of Celtics’ Ian Chernenkov, who quickly chipped it over the stretching arms of Bosman’s stand-in keeper Shaun Wiebe. Ten minutes later, a well-measured cross by Rod Valdivieso was headed into the top corner by Kriss Yargeau to make it 2-0. Just before the break, the Celtics scored twice after Bryan Schenker and Yargeau fed each other with through balls. The second half saw a more even game with the wind favouring Bosman Accountants. Schenker scored on a solo run to make it 5-0 before Bosman got a consolation goal well into stoppage time when Carl McLennan scored on a dribble after an assist by Mike Barrajon. The Celtics improved to 6-5-2, while the accountants dipped to 4-10. In 45+ league play, Rick Raber delivered his second straight two-goal outing as the Vernon Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels brushed back Brandt’s Creek Pub of Kelowna 3-1 at Marshall Field #5. Raber jumpstarted the Humpbacks’ offence with a 30-yard free kick – awarded after defender Reed Freeman used his hands to knock down an air ball headed for a on-rushing Gord Howard – which
was neatly nodded in by Mike Daly at 12 minutes. The Camels went up by a deuce 15 minutes into the second half when Raber converted a cross by Daly. Brandt’s Creek pressed hard and were rewarded when Lloyd Pendleton headed in a corner by Andy Walker with 15 minutes to play. Raber – named the Budweiser Man of the Match – sealed things when he took a feed from Rob Hulstein and did some riverdancing deep in the Brandt’s Creek zone before unleashing a bullet high left corner. Camels’ striker Gord Howard was thwarted on two or three solid scoring chances after some good runs. Al Betton and Brad Hansen enjoyed strong showings in the midfield. The second-place Camels went to 11-22, while Brandt’s Creek fell to 4-9-2. League-leading Kelowna IGA slammed Okanagan Spring Brewery 7-2 at City Park. IGA jumped to a 4-0 lead at the half, Tom Ouchi and Mike Lloyd pulled Spring within a pair before IGA wore out the shotstaffed Brewers, who lost Roger Irving and Jeff Vest to injuries in the opening 10 minutes. IGA is 15-0, while Spring is 4-8-2. The Silver Stars fielded just nine players and bowed 5-2 to Penticton United at City Park. John Burns and Steve Coombes scored for the Stars (6-5-4), who held Penticton to a 1-1 tie at the half. Penticton went to 10-4-1. In other action, the North Country Appraisals Kickers stopped Salmon Arm
4-1 on goals by Will Kruiper, Ken Wither, Fritz Berenyi and Jamie Macpherson. Keith Chancellor replied for Salmon Arm (8-6-1). North Country is 10-2-3. The Cantina’s Pub of Kelowna shut down Vernon Big O Tire Ogopogos 4-0, while the Pushor Mitchell Advocates trimmed Lake Country FC 2-1 and the Rented Mules mauled the Rutland Spirit 5-0. The Ogopogos (6-9) hit a handful of posts and crossbars, missed a few breakaways and Ruben Cerventez was stopped on a penalty kick. Cantina’s (3-10-1) scored once on a penalty kick after keeper Yogi Kongsdorf was yellow carded for obstruction.

On the Friday, the team took in Europa Park and then some tenpin bowling that night with the Amicita team as many friendships were made. On Saturday, the team went back to Heidelberg and toured the Heidelberg Castle and Student Prison. The evening saw them play their final international match against FC Starkenburgia. Ashley Krause opened the scoring 12 minutes in after a pass from Ketter. After Starkenburgia tied it up, Ouchi blasted a volley into the top right corner. The fans agreed that the next two German goals were offside but United found themselves down 3-2 at the half. Ketter hit the post between two quick Starkenburgia goals and suddenly the score was 5-2. Ashley Krause scored her fifth goal of the tour by scoring with three minutes remaining as she drove a shot into the top left corner from 20 yards out to make the final 5-3. “Starkenburgia’s star forward, who is only 14 years old, but plays on the U16 German National team, gave Cayla Brown, Katie Annand, Katelyn Dyck and Kirsty Lewis fits on the back line with her skill and speed,” said coach Krause. On Sunday, the team spent touring the “Fan Mile” in Frankfurt before heading to Commerzbank Arena for the Women’s World Cup final. “The atmosphere was electric and they
were treated to a fantastic game as Japan defeated the U.S. in a penalty shootout after playing to a 2-2 overtime tie. “The team was in awe of the closing ceremonies as the trip came to a close,” said Krause. “The team flew home on Monday and while at the Frankfurt airport, the U.S. women’s team showed up at an adjacent gate while United was waiting for their flight home, still feeling disappointed about losing, the Americans refused any photos with the Vernon team. “The trip was the first of its kind for any local youth team and hopefully paves the way for more PHOTO SUBMITTED to occur.

Wurtele takes Ford Ironman
ONE WEEK ONLY!
With hot and humid temperatures in the high 80s all week in the New York Village of Lake Placid, the weather magically cooled dramatically for race day Sunday, creating near perfect conditions as TJ Tollakson and Vernon’s Heather Wurtele ruled the Ford Ironman Lake Placid. Wurtele, who defended her Ford Ironman St. George title in May, led the non-wetsuit swim for the women, a situation she had hoped for prior to the race. She exited the water in 57:14, closely shadowed by American Jackie Arendt in 57:16, with Belgium’s Tine Deckers just ten seconds behind. “I just really stuck to my race plan,” said Wurtele, on her blog. “I was happy it was a non wetsuit swim because the water was really warm. I felt good coming out of the water. If it would have been wetsuit, I would have been massively overheated. It wasn’t my best swim, actually, but I felt Like I could have a solid day from there.” As she is accustomed to doing, Wurtele took to the front and set the pace for the rest of the women on the bike, but Deckers remained less than one minute behind right up until the 50-mile mark, where she passed Wurtele for a slim race lead. Wurtele remained calm, re-claimed the lead as the two headed out of town for the second lap and, by the end of her 5:08:13 ride, held a three-minute cushion over Deckers. Wurtele spiritedly ran out of the Olympic Skating Oval and onto the marathon course where she continued to exhibit her strength over the women’s field. She finished with a race best 3:08:24 marathon to win in a course record time of 9:19:03 - breaking Kate Major’s 2004 time of 9:24:42. Deckers maintained her position to cross the finish line in second (9:34:41).

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of William Stanley (Stan) Schoultz on Saturday July 23, 2011 at the age of eighty-five years, in Vernon, BC. Stan will be lovingly remembered by his wife Dolly, daughter Lana Inglis (Jim), granddaughters Megan and Robyn Inglis, niece Terri Miller (Mike), nephew Kevin Bilodeau, sisters-in law Debbie Young and Corrine Millar (Ron), nephews Darryl Littlejohn (Brenda) and Chad Littlejohn, as well as very special younger nieces and nephews: Sheila, Darren, Courtney, Kimberly, Shawn, Bryan, Chelsea, Dallyce, Alana and Krysten. Stan is also survived by his Ontario family, sons Wayne, Wesley, David and daughter Luanne, grandchildren: Christopher, Megan, Cassidy, Jonathan, Jessica, Joceline and Joshua. Stan was predeased by his father William George, mother Anna, brother Earl, sisters Olga, Willie and Marie, sister-inlaw Joyce and nephew Jordan. Born in Escanaba, Michigan, Stan’s family moved to and lived in Ontario near Blind Bay when Stan was very young. A World War II veteran, Stan served overseas and returned to Ontario where he worked in several industries before settling on carpentry where he found his niche and developed master craftsman skills. In 1972, Stan met his wife Dolly and her daughter Lana and in ‘74’ they made their move to BC. Several times they moved from the Okanagan to northern BC and Alberta, where Stan worked setting up oil camps, building homes and finally in Fawcett Lake, Alberta, he and Dolly ran a fishing resort until the desire to be near their granddaughters brought them back to Vernon for good. In his later years Stan turned his carpentry skills to helping friends and making wonderful displays to make his granddaughters’, nieces’ and nephews’ Halloweens and Christmases special. A Celebration of Stan’s Life will be held on Thursday, July 28, 2011, 2:00PM at the Elks Hall (3103 - 30 Street, Vernon, BC.).

Illness forces Layton on leave TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Federal NDP leader Jack Layton announced Monday he is taking an indefinite medical leave from the leadership of the party, after being diagnosed with a second type of cancer. Appearing thin and hoarse-voiced at a news conference in Ottawa Monday, Layton said treatment has continued to be successful Jack Layton for prostate cancer, which was diagnosed in 2010. He continued treatment until this year’s election that saw him elevated to leader of the official opposition. Layton did not disclose what other kind of cancer has been detected since, but vowed to recover and return to lead the party when the House of Commons resumes sitting in September. Layton recommended Hull-Aylmer MP Nycole Turmel, one of a surge of new Quebec MPs that

lifted the NDP to 103 seats. Leader since 2003, Layton was the focus of the NDP campaign that saw a collapse of Liberal and Bloc Quebecois support. B.C.-Alberta road link to expand The B.C. government has started engineering work to widen sections of the main route from Alberta into northeast B.C., the first step to a four-lane industrial route from the provincial border to Fort St. John. The region has seen a surge of natural gas exploration and development in recent years, and the project is billed as a way to keep up with growing industrial demand. “This will help ensure our highways remain safe for all local and commercial motorists, while supporting increased economic activity in the Peace,” said Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom, MLA for Peace River South. Engineering work is funded for seven sections, including a 3.3 km section of Highway 2 at Tupper Creek, widening of Highway 2 approaching Dawson Creek and widening Highway 97 on the south side of the Peace River at Taylor.
Assistance gets more feet in the door Morning Star Staff
The provincial government has expanded its orthotics supplement for income assistance clients to ensure basic mobility needs are addressed. As of Aug. 2, eligible clients can now receive up to $450 for custom foot orthotics (from $375)
and receive replacement orthotics every three years, rather than every four years. “It’s important that people on income assistance are supported so they can maximize their involvement in community life and perform the day-to-day tasks of living,” said Social Development
Minister Harry Bloy. “This updated policy for foot orthotics will help people maintain their mobility so they can improve their quality of life and contribute to their communities.” About 140 clients in B.C. currently benefit from the orthotics supplement program.
