Mayor draws sharp attack
BANK HIT AGAIN
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
Vernon RCMP investigate a report of a robbery at the Royal Bank in the Shops at Polson Park Thursday around 3:30 p.m. It is the second time in less than a week police have attended the bank on Highway 6, after a robbery took place last Friday. Five police vehicles converged at the scene in search of a suspect.
Vernon’s mayor is being accused of fuelling disputes with neighbouring jurisdictions. Jim Garlick, Coldstream mayor, says he is increasingly frustrated with Wayne Lippert over the future of water and parks and recreation. “The main instigator of virtually every service review or the instigator of disruption (at meetings) is Wayne Lippert,” Garlick told The Morning Star. “I don’t believe anyone can get along with Wayne Lippert. We’ve seen that with fire dispatch at the regional district.” Garlick is particularly upset with comments Lippert made about Coldstream not supporting Vernon withdrawing from water distribution. “It just shows they can’t hold to an agreement, so if you can’t hold to an agreement with someone, what kind of partnership can you expect to have?” Lippert told Kiss FM. Garlick says his municipality has been consisWayne Lippert tent about keeping the water utility intact and has been part of the negotiation process. “Wayne Lippert has a way of turning everything into a fight,” he said. Garlick claims the ongoing disputes may be Lippert’s way of encouraging amalgamation of Greater Vernon’s jurisdictions. “That’s his main goal. I don’t think it’s the City of Vernon, it’s Wayne Lippert. He wants to bring the Ontario amalgamation model here,” said Garlick. Jim Garlick Lippert denies he is forcing amalgamation. “Amalgamation will happen eventually if it’s something citizens want,” he said. Lippert also challenges Garlick’s comments that he is difficult to deal with at meetings. “I’m there to look for benefits for everyone and to find solutions. I’m in politics but I hate politics,” he said. Lippert stands by his concerns about Coldstream’s handling of the water utility. “We all agreed to sit down with the province to work out an agreement and look at the best models. Coldstream agreed to that but never signed the agreement. They stalled it,” he said. Garlick opposes amalgamation and says the current governance structure allows his council to address the specific interests of Coldstream and to be financially accountable. “In the case of amalgamation, service in the area would go to the service levels and costs of the city. This would include garbage pick-up, transit and other departments that would have little if any benefits to the outside areas. There will be the need to take on the costs of roads in the electoral areas from the province with increased expectations of service by the residents for those roads,” he said. However, Lippert says residents in all jurisdictions are considering amalgamation because of the disputes over water and parks. “People are talking to me about it,” he said. “Areas B and C should be amalgamated with Vernon or Coldstream or incorporated as a municipality on their own. In the long run, (amalgamation for) the whole North Okanagan should be looked at.”

News Ball team makes pitch for nationals RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A major national sports event could be swinging into the North Okanagan. The Field of Dreams women’s fastball team has submitted a bid for Vernon to host the Canadian Native Fastball Championships Aug. 3 to 5, 2012. “We want everyone to have an opportunity to come to the Okanagan,� said Glenda Louis, one of the bid organizers. “It’s also a good opportunity to promote the sport in our community.� The championships would involve 1,100 male and female athletes over the age of 17, and it’s anticipated there would be about 5,000 visitors attending. Based on those numbers, Louis is convinced the championships could have a significant financial boost for Vernon and the North Okanagan. “We’re looking at all of the campground and hotel options,� she said, adding that participants and visitors would also use local restaurants and shops. The 2012 event will be held in B.C. and besides Vernon, there are bids from Prince George and Invermere. Today, the Canadian Native Fastball Association will accept the formal applications. If the Vernon bid is successful, planning will get underway, including pursuing financial sponsors and volunteers. “We are going to be looking for a lot of support,� said Louis. One possibility is to involve junior fastball players in behind-the-scenes activities. “We want to build partnerships. The youth can come and see what it’s all about,� said Louis. Both the Okanagan Indian Band and the

Members of the Field of Dreams women’s fastball team are currently at the Canadian Native Fastball Championships in Winnipeg. Okanagan Nation Alliance have endorsed the bid from the Field of Dreams team, and a presentation will be made to the City of Vernon council. This year’s Canadian Native Fastball Championships, which starts today and runs until Sunday, is in Winnipeg, Man. Among the teams participating is Field of Dreams, which was established in 1996
and consists largely of players from the Okanagan Nation. “It has actively been a competitor in the national championships since 1999,� said Louis. “The love for the game of fastball is a tradition handed down from generation to generation; which has provided many opportunities for our youth far and wide
within our nations. The physical endurance and skills has not come easily as our athletes of all ages put forth great dedication, personal commitment and many hours necessary to enhance their gamesmanship abilities.� “Little do our athletes know it, but they are the role models for tomorrow’s future athletes.�
Officers make arrest in alleged assault Morning Star Staff
The RCMP are investigating what they describe as a horrific assault in a Coldstream neighbourhood. On Tuesday at about 8:20 p.m., officers responded to a report of a domestic assault off Buchanan Road. “Officers arrived and discovered that three people had been allegedly beaten with a baseball bat by a male who was known to all three,� said Gord Molendyk, Vernon RCMP spokesperson. Three individuals — two women and a man

“One remains in hospital.� — Gord Molendyk — suffered visible bruises to their legs, arms, torsos and face. “The two women were transported by emergency health services to Vernon Jubilee Hospital
for further medical treatment,� said Molendyk. “One remains in hospital and required surgery to repair a broken arm.� A 27-year-old suspect was arrested several hours later in downtown Vernon as police officers and City of Vernon bylaw officers were responding to a complaint of a man exposing himself. Charges of assault with a weapon, uttering threats, assault and aggravated assault were forwarded to Crown counsel for consideration. The suspect was expected to appear in court later Thursday to answer to the charges.

Public assistance led RCMP officers to a marijuana grow-op east of Enderby. Officers searched a property on Potrie Road, near Mabel Lake, Wednesday at 8 p.m. after receiving an anonymous tip. “The search resulted in the seizure of 1,057 marijuana plants located outside on the property,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. A 31-year-old man was arrested and has since been released for a future court date to face charges of production of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.

Landscaping draws scrutiny RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A rocky situation has developed in a Vernon neighbourhood. There have been reports of children throwing landscape rocks into neighbouring yards since upgrades were done to 20th Street in the Harwood area. “We need to look at a hard surface there,” said Coun. Shawn Lee. Lee insists the rock — which is about four inches in diameter - should be removed because of the potential for damage or someone getting hurt. “The barriers used to protect the telephone poles can be used as catapults,” said Lee who visited the area. “I tried it and I got about 20 metres with a rock. Some times things look really good but kids can be inventive. Give them ammunition and they’ll shoot it.” A landscape architect decided to go with the current rock size. “We have it in other locations and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t,” said Rob

Dickinson, the city’s engineering services manager. It’s likely the rock will be replaced with quarter-inch gravel. But Lee isn’t impressed with that option. “I’d like to see a different surface,” he said. “You could put in finer stuff but the kids will just use it.” The City of Vernon is also speaking out against complaints
that the road upgrades has led to a narrowing of the space vehicles can access on 20th Street. “It’s the same standard size travel lane as elsewhere,” said Leon Gous, chief administrative officer. “You can get the same truck through there as on 27th Street.” Gous says that the overall width of the road has narrowed but that is because of the curb.
A stolen vehicle has been recovered by Vernon RCMP. On Wednesday at about 3:30 a.m., officers were notified of a hit-and-run accident in the drive-thru at the McDonald’s restaurant on 25th Avenue. “A blue Toyota 4-Runner hit a yellow painted post shearing it off, and the vehicle then took off,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “The registered owner of the vehicle was contacted and he advised police that his vehicle had been stolen.” Then at about 4 a.m., police received another call about a vehicle that had crashed in the alley behind the 3500 block
of 42nd Avenue. “Police attended this location and found the 4-Runner from the McDonald’s hit-andrun accident from earlier in the morning, abandoned in the alley with damage to the
front bumper, the front left side and the windshield,” said Molendyk. With the aid of the police service dog, officers located three Vernon men in their late teens and early 20s. They were arrested

GREATER VERNON WATER UTILITY - WATER QUALITY ADVISORY - UPDATE The Regional District of North Okanagan - Greater Vernon Water Utility (RDNO - GVWU) advises that the Water Quality Advisory will continue until further notice for customers on the Duteau Creek water source. Due to increased irrigation demands, additional seasonal water sources have been brought online. These seasonal water sources are only chlorinated before entering the distribution system, resulting in turbidity that at times exceeds 1.0 NTU. GVWU has been actively monitoring the water quality and all bacterial tests have been clear, however the water quality rating remains as FAIR. Until color and turbidity return to normal, those with young children, the elderly, weakened immune systems or anyone requiring additional protection should boil their water for one (1) minute when using the water for drinking, washing fruit and vegetables, making beverages and brushing teeth. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the RDNO-GVWU at 250.550.3700. Please check the website for information and further updates at www.rdno.ca.

There’s no cheap fix to Vernon’s clock tower. The device at 32nd Avenue and 31st Street hasn’t worked for about four years, and it could cost between $8,400 and $30,000 to get it back up and running. “It’s a tough decision,” said Coun. Shawn Lee of the price tag. “But something has to be done.” Installing an electronic unit will cost about $8,400 while a local resident says he could refurbish the current mechanism for $30,000. The city would pursue a heritage grant if the existing system is preShawn Lee served. “It would be nice to keep the old mechanism from a heritage perspective or we could say we’re in the 21st century and go electronic,” said Lee. Lee has pushed for the clock to be fixed because he doesn’t believe the current situation reflects well on the city and it frustrates residents wanting the correct time. The clock was part of Vernon’s 1912 post office, which was demolished in 1959. It was installed in the tower, in front of the Greater Vernon Museum, in 1967. One city employee was responsible for maintaining the clock but he retired a few years ago and the city has not had specialized clock expertise since then.

A marijuana growop has been shut down in the Lumby area. Early Tuesday, RCMP officers executed search warrants at a rural property off of Mabel Lake Road. “A search of the property was conducted and 1,541 marihuana plants were located and seized from a large out-building that was set up for the production of marijuana,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. A 51-year-old man and a 48-year-old woman were arrested at
the scene. The man is expected to face charges of theft of Hydro, possession for the purposes of trafficking and production of marijuana charges at a later date. “The RCMP contin-

Hold onto the memories
I
t was a jog down memory lane for myself and the rest of the VSS grads of 2001 as we reunited last weekend. Out of 168 grads only 51 showed up. I’m not sure what kept the other 117 grads MIA. Maybe they’re embarrassed that their life didn’t turn out as glamorous as they had always boasted. That didn’t stop Chris, who still lives with his parents, from making an appearance. Or perhaps they realJennifer Smith ly meant it when they said after graduation they would leave Vernon and never come back. It didn’t stop Anna, who drove 13 hours from Fort St. John, crammed in a car with her fiance, giant pit bull and trunk full of camping gear. Maybe some weren’t eager to take a trip down memory lane, since high school can be some of the cruelest years of our lives – don’t I know it, growing up with the last name Dyck made for many mortifying moments. But that didn’t stop me, or Chelsey (whose unfortunate flaming red head nickname, too offensive to publish, was often screamed down the hallways to make her face turn a shade brighter than her hair – sorry Chels). Perhaps some of those that bullied us still think they’re too cool for school. One fellow graduate admitted he wasn’t going because he felt bad for how unkind he was to many of his peers. Like Dave (who is now a proud daddy), we’ve all grown out of our immature teenage ways, and I think we can all put the notso-memorable moments behind us. Attending a reunion is just the place to
AT RANDOM
do it (so all those who missed the 10-year, I better see you at the 20). That’s not to say some haven’t changed. Becky is still our cowgirl party animal (now complete with her very own farm). Then there’s the real reason we’re all inclined to go to these reunions, the one few will admit....to show off the new you (and check out the competition). I have to say, everyone really looked amazing, even better than we did in high school. There were far fewer pimples, some pounds shed here, perhaps a few added there. Class of 2001: you’ve aged well! Then there were those who were unrecognizable (I can’t remember how many times I leaned over to my friends and asked “Who is that? Did they really graduate with us?”) Lisa was one. I honestly thought she was a trophy date, brought along by one of the male grads to make them look like hot stuff. It’s not to say that little Lisa didn’t look good in high school, but she just didn’t stand out as some of the “popular” Barbieesque girls did. Last Saturday, Lisa stood out. She was still a little shy and quiet, but has definitely taken shape into quite a woman. I’m sure our 20-and 30-year reunions (the VSS class of 1981 reunion is actually this weekend) will be even more interesting – a few more wrinkles and gray hairs added by more kids, career changes, life surprises, etc. I hope more will be around to make it, because with a new high school in the making, our beloved but bedraggled Vernon Secondary will soon become a distant memory. But I’d still like to remember the faces that filled those cracked old walls.
So the City of Vernon has enough free funds floating around to buy up even more downtown land (next to existing city-owned land that it has yet to do anything with), but they can’t seem to afford to repair a downtown fixture. The hands of time have been stuck for four years at Vernon’s clock tower. That’s right, for four years people have either been figuring it’s 11 a.m., when it’s really 2 p.m., or they’ve said the heck with it and abandoned relying on the ancient time machine. Therefore even if it does get fixed, few people are likely to depend on it for an accurate telling of time. However, it’s embarrassing to know city officials have let it go this long. So to prevent any further shame on our city, something needs to be done. The fact that a Vernon landmark hasn’t worked for four years, and no one has cared enough to fix the situation, speaks volumes about how we value the image of our city. Not to mention the message it sends courtesy of city hall. So what is the holdup? Just because the clock expert retired a few years ago, the responsibility is still there to keep the clock in working order. You wouldn’t abandon your car if it wouldn’t start, just because your mechanic retired. No, you’d find a new mechanic. Sure the cost to fix the clock could run the city anywhere from $8,400 to $30,000, but a reasonable solution at a reasonable price seems doable. And surely the costs wouldn’t be so high now if the problem had been fixed four years ago. That clock is a piece of downtown heritage and needs to be restored...before time runs out.

Power to the people
I
t is with both regret and excitement that I find myself writing my very first letter to the editor. I am only a simple and relatively new B.C. resident but I have awoken to the power of the people right in democracy. If nothing else, this HST fiasco has possibly awoken a sleeping giant. The passive, accepting, laid-back people of B.C. may now be up to challenging the powers that be and taking a stand for themselves, their families, their environment, their jobs, their wallets and their communities. Since our move to this beautiful province, we have been exposed to an array of taxes that only a vivid mind would be able to imagine possible. But like the rest of the B.C. population, we have quietly accepted these as a way of life here. Now, however, thanks to the ruling party and others, we actually have heard the people voice themselves, bring on change and challenge the Ruling government. I say, “good work citizens.” Democracy is a beautiful thing isn’t it? My own thoughts on the HST: The ruling party uses the term average family a lot in its talks and propaganda. Do you know the definition of average family? I don’t. Let’s ask them for it. If most families are like ours, a mortgage is part of establishing ownership of housing. If you will allow me, HST applies to new housing and, therefore, should you by a new
BEST OPTION Taxation is a complex subject. I know because I make my living at it. Nobody likes paying taxes but taxes are a necessary evil. What we really dislike is that we know they should be about half of what they are. However, if we have to have taxes, consumption or value-added taxes like the HST are the best kind. Virtually every economist and accountant in the western world would favour HSTstyle taxes over any other type of tax. The reason they favour it is because it is transparent. The provincial sales tax was not transparent and was often embedded in the supply chain resulting in a tax that was frequently in excess of seven per cent. Consumers only ever saw the last seven per cent charged. The future funding of our health care system will be much better served with the HST than a return to a provincial sales tax with GST. Yes, the Liberals did a very poor job of introducing the HST. Its positive effects are not obvious as the tax was introduced in recessionary times. And, yes, some things now have HST at 12 per

home in the $350,000 (low-end) range, your HST would be another $42,000. Mortgage that $42,000 plus the property transfer tax of $5,000 and that equals $47,000 in taxes to your new housing and mortgage. I don’t see these numbers in any ruling party propaganda. The HST propaganda says the people of B.C. have been paying a sales tax for more than 60 years. I ask you, “Does that make it right?” or could it mean that each elected government has been too complacent to find a better and maybe more fair way of taxing our pockets? The HST has hurt the environment by not being able
cent when they only had five per cent GST previously. Bicyles are an example as your recent article against HST alluded to. However, what about all of the high-end bikes that were sold with no PST? It seems to me that expensive bikes should have born PST on their purchase. With the HST, now they will. The HST has leveled the playing field. The HST is by no means perfect. It you thought it would solve all of our problems, you were sadly mistaken. However, it is the lesser of two evils. If it changes to 10 per cent, it's even better. Hence, I will vote to retain this tax because the alternative is unacceptable. Paul Westwell, chartered accountant
roadside with no cell service. Many cars passed us by but after about half-an-hour of waiting, a lovely couple stopped and saved us from our roadside disaster. Karen and John took the original tire, filled it with air at their nearby campsite, brought it back and John changed it with no hesitation. We learned that John, a retired firefighter, and his wife camp near Mabel Lake basically all summer. We are very grateful for their kindness, helping four teenage girls with a flat tire, and stopping when no one else did. Thanks Karen and John of Armstrong. Jessica Morin, Marie McKay, Melinda Mohos

to promote the tax discounts once available to vehicles that provide great fuel mileage, alternative fuels etc. I bet that if I bought a new car in Alberta and brought it here to register, there would be a way to separate the difference between the HST and GST. But that is not possible for the betterment of the environment only for the ruling party's pockets. I smell something fishy again. Could it be laziness or greed on the part of the ruling party? What is the taxpayers' cost to the HST campaign put forward by the ruling party? How about if that expense comes out of the Liberal campaign budget rather than taxpayers' money. This blunder and expense was created by them and not the people of B.C. Enough for now. I just really want to thank you all for voicing yourselves, taking a stand and making yourselves heard. You have proven that democracy is alive, and somewhat well, in our province. Let’s make our elected officials listen and work for us. That is their job after all. Stay strong in your democratic rights, democratic beliefs and be heard. Let them know that their many taxes can and do cost you exuberant amounts out of your pocket and you have nothing left to stimulate the economy. Craig Gaylard
thankful that they do. Thanks again for those special people in the ambulance service, the emergency department and those second floor people and, I am sure, the whole service personnel. I am truly thankful for your expertise and how you deliver it. It is so good when you are ill to be well cared for and respected a a person in need of tender loving care. Russ Ferrie WAITING IN PAIN Two-and-a-half years ago, I had surgery on my left arm and they put in a titanium plate. This was done in Kamloops. I found out I have two screws not helping the plate when I had my arm X-rayed. I've been waiting for a CT scan for eight months now. The surgeon is ready to operate on my arm. Every time I go to the hospital or phone, they tell me I'm on the list but they won't tell me the date I will get scan. Each week, the pain in my arm is getting worse. The pain feels like it is throbbing up my arm. It is not life-threatening.
How long do I have to wait? Gordon McClure

Slim pickings of cherry pickers
Deb White Mortgage Broker
Morning Star Staff
The cherry harvest in the Okanagan is in full swing, or it would be if there were enough workers to pick the cherries. Reports from Oliver indicate a shortage of about 200 workers in cherry harvesting and sorting. The workforce is a combination of local and Quebecois youth, as well as foreign workers. This year, the funding for the Okanagan French Employment Service Centre was cut off by the federal government. As a result, fewer Quebecois youth are in the Okanagan and there is a shortage of workers for cherry harvest. Over the next two weeks, the harvest moves to the North Okanagan as the crop ripens here. “First, harvest was delayed and that meant pickers did not have enough work. Now, there is so much work that we are short of pickers,” said Madeleine Van Roechoudt, chairperson of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association Labour Committee. “It will be an enormous help for growers to get local youth out to the orchard to help with the harvest,” she concluded. Local youth interested in work picking or sorting cherries can call Ron Forrest at 250-859-3354. Forrest is the facilitator for the B.C. Fruit Growers Association’s Farm Labour Project and helps match workers with jobs.

Suites legalized in Armstrong RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A number of secondary suites in Armstrong are no longer illegal. Earlier this year, the city waived the $1,000 rezoning fee for property owners who wanted to legalize their secondary suites. Since then, five have been decommissioned, five have applied and three are awaiting a decision on suites in accessory buildings. Chris Pieper “We wanted to bring the properties along,” said Mayor Chris Pieper of waiving the fee as a catalyst for official sanctioning. On Monday, council considered a rezoning application for a single-family dwelling with a secondary suite in the 3600 block of Warner Avenue. “We gave the bylaw the first two readings and there will be a public hearing in two weeks,” said Pieper. Pieper is pleased with the city’s movement towards legalizing suites. “It’s been a success. It makes the suites a lot safer for the people living in them,” he said. “It’s also good for the city because we get some revenue from the extra water and sewer hookups.” Presently, there are six secondary suites that have not been decommissioned or gone through
the zoning process. “We are going to follow up with our enforcement officer to see what they want to do,” said Pieper. However, the deadline for the waived rezoning fee has passed and any new applications will pay the full cost.

A new judge is being sent to the North Okanagan to help deal with a backlog in court cases. As of Aug. 15, the Ministry of Attorney General has a p p o i n t ed Mayland McKimm as a McKimm provincial court judge in Vernon. Chairperson of the Legal Services Society until earlier this year and a board member since 2003, McKimm practices mostly criminal and family law. The Victoria resident began his
law career in 1984 at McKimm & Lott in Sidney. Besides McKimm, four other provincial judges have been named for the Lower Mainland and northern B.C. “I’m confident these qualified individuals will serve the provincial court well by contributing their significant legal expertise and experience to B.C.’s judicial system,” said Attorney General Barry Penner. “These five new appointments will help reduce caseload pressures while we continue to work to balance the budget.” The process to appoint judges involves several steps. N Interested lawyers apply and the B.C. Judicial Council, a committee made up of the chief judge, other judges, lawyers and lay people, then reviews the candidates. N The council recommends potential judges to the attorney general, with the final appointment made through a cabinet order-incouncil.

Tigers brush back Shamrocks Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Tigers were hoping to knock the Armstrong Shamrocks out of the Shaw Cup playoffs Thursday night at Wesbild Centre. The Tigers went into a packed and noisy Nor-Val Sports Centre Tuesday night and won a high-energy thriller 9-8 to open the best-of-three Okanagan X-treme Lacrosse League semifinal series. A third game, if needed, will go Wednesday night at Hassen Arena since the ice will be in at Nor-Val. Both teams went 6-6 in the regular season. The winner meets either the 7-6 Kelowna Raiders or the 5-7 Kamloops Rattlers in the Shaw Cup final. AJ Lockwood pulled the hat trick as the Rattlers evened that series with a 9-7 win Wednesday night. Game 3 goes Tuesday night in Kelowna. “We really don’t want to go back to Armstrong so it’s very important for us to win at home,” said Vernon coach Lawrie Skolrood, joined on the bench by Junior Tigers’ bench boss Myles Brumpton. The Shamrocks opened the Game 1 scoring on the powerplay when leading scorer Steve Clark beat Vernon goalie Glen Clissold. Vernon equalized on their own powerplay with Kirk Krause converting. Armstrong grabbed a two-goal lead with Clark and Dan Giger connecting before Vernon answered back with junior call-up Kaz Boudreau getting his first of two on the night. The Rocks wrapped up the firstperiod offence with Thomas Belanger scoring on a nice passing play. Logan Strohm of the Rocks opened the scoring in the second period and then things went sideways for Armstrong as they took a series of penalties and Vernon capitalized with the man advantage. Former NLL player Shane Sargent scored his first of three powerplay goals on the night. That was followed
up by an unassisted goal by Tigers’ leading scorer Rob Short, and others by Sargent and Krause. The Cats held a 6-5 lead after 40 minutes. Vernon continued their goal run early in the third period with Krause adding his second of the game. Armstrong then clawed back with junior call-up Cullen Rowan scoring on a nifty behind -the-back shot. Vernon wasn’t finished yet and Boudreau picked up a loose ball, sped down the floor and beat Chad Pieper on the breakaway to restore Vernon’s two-goal cushion. The Tigers then stretched their lead to three a short time later when Short added his second on the powerplay. The Shamrocks then went into desperation mode with captain Chad Pounder scoring on a powerplay and Clark pulling the Irish within one with less than two minutes left. The Tigers outshot the Rocks 60-53. “We’ve worked all year on selfdiscipline and concentrating on the simple and smarter things of lacrosse,” said Skolrood. “We have a good defence which basically attacks their offence and creates some aggressive lacrosse.” Skolrood praised the play of Boudreau and Theo Wagner. “We have a great relationship with the junior Tigers and we really want to keep all our developing players at home.” The Shamrocks were planning on a different mind-set Thursday night. “We all know Vernon has some agitators on defence and they like to nip at our legs like a little dog,” said Pieper. “Unfortunately for us, when we decide to kick the dog, a policeman is usually right there to see it. “We have to play a lot smarter if we want to continue playing this year. We took way too many retaliation, unsportsmanlike and undisciplined penalties tonight. We feel like we had a good first 30 minutes and then we shot ourselves in the foot.”

Whale prevail in ball hockey provincials Morning Star Staff
The Wilms Electric/Checkers Whalers won the B.C. Men’s C Ball Hockey Championships Sunday in Kamloops by beating the Victoria Devils 5-4 in the final. Superstar forward and tournament MVP James Dobrowolski (Prince George Cougars, WHL) scored the winner at 4:48 of the second half by re-directing a shot off the stick of slippery winger Leath Gare (Concordia University Stingers grad). After giving up the first goal, the Whalers’ captain Justin (Hurricane) O’Krane equalized by converting a nice pass from Dobrowolski. Trailing 2-1 at the intermission, free agent speedster Dan Wiens tied the game early in the second half before the Devils went ahead on a powerplay goal. Whaler workhorse David Robinson (Vernon Vipers) tied it 3-3 on a breakaway goal after taking a beauty pass from the
most versatile Whaler, Bryce Kakoske (Vipers). Minutes later, the Whalers took their first lead of the game when Wiens put a shot on net that was deflected by O’Krane off a Devil d-man and in the back of the net. Whaler netminder Blair Miller was rock solid, making several big saves down the stretch. Victoria scored a late goal to make things interesting. Dobrowolski, a classy tall drink of water, led the tournament in goals with eight (four of them game winners). He added seven asssists, while linemate Gare led the tournament in points with 4-12-16. Dobrowolski produced 18 goals and 52 points in his fourth and final year in the WHL. The Harpoonmen went 3-0 in round-robin, starting off with a 9-2 ambushing of the Kamloops Bruins. Heart and soul winger Flair Bernley pocketed 2+3. Game 2 went Saturday morning and not even a wave of food poisoning suffered by 90 per cent of the team could
slow the Whalers down as they squeeked out a 4-2 win over the Kelowna Venom. D-man Brad Hunt had 2+1, while Mark Gates chipped in with three assists and was a plus four for the Whalers. Vernon smothered the Vancouver Outlaws 5-0 with Miller reading the Sun Valley Source for Sports flyers while only having to make five saves for the shutout. The Whalers grounded the Victoria Rangers 13-7 in the semifinals with Wiens scoring four times and Kris Glinsbockel adding a hat trick. The Whalers winning roster also included: Kevin Kraus (Vipers grad), Ryan Harrison (Everett Silvertips), Chad Gilroy, Ryan Liebel, Mark Gates and Ryan Kempton. “The Wilms Electric/Checkers Whalers would like to thank owner Graham Wilms, Pam, and all the staff at Checkers, as well as all the fans for the support during their season,” said O’Krane.

Teams settle on tie Monashee Surveying and Turn-Key FC battled to an entertaining 1-1 draw in North Okanagan Men’s Soccer League play Wednesday night at Marshall Field #5. The Surveyors (4-7-2) opened the scoring early as striker Darren Nobrega got behind the Turn-Key defence off of a nifty flick on by Rodney Goodchild and buried a left-footer from the 18 low, right corner. Turn-Key pressured for the rest of the half but couldn’t put one past Monashee substitute keeper Oeun Ouch. The 5-6-3 Turn-Key defence stepped up in the second half and shut down the Monashee attack and stalwart defender Sam Nolan outworked three defenders and equalized off a brilliant corner from Marco Arnold. Turn-Key strikers Chris Harris, Jeremy Kler and Cam Egan all had chances to put them ahead but failed to find the back of the net. Sweeper Kevin Knauf had a stellar game for the Surveyors. The league-leading North Enderby Timber showed no mercy on the winless Salmon Arm Outlaws in a 13-2 ambushing at Credit Union Savings Park. NET started the scoring in the eighth minute when Bryn Knauf flicked a header to Kyle Halvorson, who played a cross to Alex Farina, who rocketed home a onetimer. Colby Buckham sacrificed his body (groin region) by taking an aggressive knee while attacking a bouncing ball. Jobie Waughman played a long cross off the free kick to the foot of Halvorson, who slid the ball past the keeper. Brodie Couch brought down a corner and used composure before laying the ball off to a streaking Devin Janke for a onetime blast from 22 yards out, just under the crossbar, top left. Andy Stein then controlled the ball on the back line and picked out a streaking Ross McDonald up the wing. McDonald faked the shot, took a touch and buried the ball with a well-placed blast. Acting coach Brent Poulsen chose to place McDonald (usually a wing back) in
an attacking wide-mid position stating: “I knew he had a goal in him.” Alex Farina finished the first-half Timber offence by sending a long shot far post in the 37th minute to take it to 4-0 before the Outlaws responded with their first. Farina finished his third of the night after Devin Janke took a page out of his dad’s (Derek Janke) playbook and used HON moves to dance around several Outlaw midfielders. Janke’s toe drag, to spinorama, and flick pass, would have fooled world-class defenders. Keeper Danny Stein decided to leave his 18-yard box after an errant ball and ended up dribbling around three Outlaw forwards before sending a full-field through ball to Halvorson who tucked away yet another. Halvorson finished with five goals. McDonald proved the coach right again by claiming another goal late in the half. Lone Goals came from Brodie Couch, who played a stellar game at center midfield, and Buckham, who finally tallied his first of the season. Buckham streaked up the left wing and used his speed and soft touch to outrun and outplay the Outlaw defender before unleashing a blast that could only be matched by the likes of Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard to the short post. The Vernon Square Liquor Store Celtics lost 2-1 to host Salmon Arm in an Okanagan Men’s 35+ Soccer League makeup game Wednesday night. The Celtics started slowly, allowing the hosts to dominate the opening 15 minutes. The game was well balanced for the rest of the first half, but Salmon Arm opened the offence after a well taken free kick. The Celtics came out strong in the second half but could not find a gap in Salmon Arm’s solid defence. Sweeper Jason Beck was unlucky not to find the net with six different attempts from long distance. When Salmon Arm effectively countered to a second goal, the Celtics decided to add an extra striker with captain Geoff Straight going up front. The switch paid off five minutes before the end when Bryan Schenker scored.

Impact stretch streak to 10 games The Okanagan Impact extended their undefeated streak to 10 games by battling the Chick Kickers to a scoreless draw in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division action Tuesday night at Marshall Field #1. “The Chick Kickers are first in the division so it was a great success for us,” said Impact veteran Kris Ponto. “We had some excellent opportunities to score...just no goals in the end.” The Impact (9-3-2) moved into sole possession of third place, five points back of the Kickers, by getting superb goalkeeping from Shelinda Morin, who flashed some aggressive challenges and read the plays well all night. Kim Wiebe, in center defence, ran miles, while the Impact got great hustle from Suzy Andrews, Jody Hawthorne, Lisa Boer, Minda Chittenden and Sue Herring. The 11-2-2 Chicks didn’t score for the first time all season with Dawn Tucker earning the shutout. The Chicks sorely missed veteran Charlene Johnson.
NOU brush off Drillers Melissa Jacobs scored twice as the Vernon Square Liquor Store NOU grounded the Goplen Drillers 2-0 at Marshall #5. Carla Gibson earned MVP for United (6-7-2), who celebrated Charlene McNaught’s 50th birthday a day late. Teresa Collins was fabulous in the NOU midfield. The Drillers dipped to 3-8-3.
Controllers bow to Merlot The Vernon Controllers were in rainy Salmon Arm looking for revenge as Shuswap Merlot upset the Controllers 2-1 in their first meeting earlier in the season. The visitors started well by peppering the Merlot goal, but Merlot scored first on a clever short corner put just under the bar from 25 yards out. The Controllers just failed to equalize as a Shuswap defender dove on a rolling ball as it was crossing the line and was able to chest it out off the line without using her arms. Before the first half ended, a hard drive deflected off a defender and squirted under a diving Leslie Epp, to put Merlot up by two. Merlot scored again 10 minutes in with a defensive miscue, leaving Epp no chance as the 30 yarder found the top right corner. Danielle Dunsmore replied quickly with a goal in close, giving the Controllers hope in a game they enjoyed most of the play
without results. Merlot defended well the last 30 minutes, improving to 7-6-2. The Controllers dipped to 9-4-2. Jenny Currie was strong up front for the Controllers as were midfielders Michelle Mercer, Shawn Yargeau and Therese Weber with Michele Wernicke rock solid on the backline. The Controllers are in the big Salmon Arm B.C. Day Long Weekend Tournament.
Setter’s double Sista’s 4-2 Setter’s Pub of Salmon Arm doubled Okanagan Season’s Sistas 4-2 at Marshall #4. The Sistas battled hard against the second-place Setter’s in a game which could have easily gone the other way with most of the golden opportunities going the Sistas’ way. An unfortunate hand ball on the Sistas’ goal line off a corner led to Salmon Arm’s first goal from a penalty kick. A quick second goal came off a mishandled defender, last man back for an easy breakaway goal. The Sistas stabilized their game and shape, and were rewarded with a beautiful long high kick by Andrea Zubot after a giftwrapped clearance kick by the keeper. Sniper Kim Sylvester had numerous breakaways and made excellent crosses to Helene Clarke breaking to the far post, and just missing a few times. Salmon Arm replied with another goal for a 3-1 lead at the break. The second half was a see-saw affair, with substitute keeper Pam Zalcik of Sista’s making a few great saves and throwing the ball out further than most players could kick it, creating breakouts for the Sista’s and resulting in a breakaway for Kim Sylvester, who buried the ball low, corner. Setter’s (10-1-4) recorded a late goal on a long, high blast over Zalcik’s head and off the far post. Honourable mentions for the 2-11-3 Sista’s go to Becky Birbilis, Sherry Weibe, Gizelle Duquette and Michele Niles. Last-place Shuswap Kaos surprised Monashee’s Pub 3-1 at Marshall #3. Becky McLennan scored for the pub crew (3-10-2). The Kaos went to 2-10-3.

Christine Neilson scored on a beautiful long ball from outside the 18 over the keeper’s head, while Jasmine Whitling connected on another long shot from similar yardage, to support the Outlaws. Whitling, Lee and and Lori Phillips all created several scoring opportunites from the midfield. Elina Huisken had a strong game in the midfield with many runs down the side and gorgeous crosses to create further chances. The Little Tex defence, led by sweepers Jordan Mercer and Stacey Cover, along with Kate Welch and Erika Francis, enjoyed a strong game, keeping the Celtics’ scoring chances remote while boosting the offence. Kimi Waneck responded for the ever-
improving Celtics, who fell to 2-11 despite scoring six times in their last three games. Coach Graham Ross hopes his team can play the spoiler role down the stretch.
Blazers fall to United The AF Blazers, playing with only nine players, bowed 3-0 to the first-place TED United in Salmon Arm. United (9-2-2) scored all their goals in the first half with the Blazers showing tireless work in a scoreless second half. Jane Higgins, Chelsea Ricketts and Amanda Swales had good defensive games, while Jenny Hatten, Paula Brownlee and Sam Dally held the middle. Krista Ference and Ali Clarke had a few scoring opportunities but were unable to convert. Eileen Pellicca did an awesome job in net for the 1-9-3 Blazers.

Gorges inks deal ARREN HENDERSON Black Press Sports
KELOWNA – Equipped with a refurbished right knee and a new contract, Josh Gorges is ready to go back to work for the Montreal Canadiens. The 26-year-old former Kelowna Rockets captain came to terms on a new one-year deal with the Habs last week, avoiding a salary arbitration hearing. The deal will pay Gorges $2.5 million, more than double his salary last season. “He is a very reliable defenceman for our club,” GM Pierre Gauthier said in a statement. “Josh is recovering extremely well from his knee injury that kept him out of the lineup for half of the regular season and the playoffs, and we look forward to seeing him at training camp.” The 6-foot-1, 200-pound rearguard had his 2010-11 NHL season cut short when he underwent surgery on his right knee in January. Six months later, Gorges claims he has seldom felt better.

Freshwater race up for paddlers CHRISTINE CASTRUCOW For The Morning Star
Paddlers of all ages and sizes will converge on Kin Beach this weekend for the Vernon Paddling Centre’s annual Freshwater Challenge races. Approximately 170 paddlers, from all over B.C. and Alberta will participate in both small boat races Saturday and the long-distance, six-man outrigger races Sunday. On Saturday, the small boat races will include single- and double-outriggers, surf skis, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. The athletes will compete in a 10-kilometre loop, which takes them along the shores of Tronson Road. The ladies will race at 12:30 p.m., with the men and mixed teams hitting the water at 2 p.m. Several local paddlers will be competing in various divisions. On Sunday, the six-man outriggers will be hitting the waves, for both the 24- and 44-k races. Approximately 10 teams will be competing in the 24-k race, iron style, which has all six paddlers remaining in the boat for the entire race. Nineperson teams are required for the 44-k race, which has paddlers changing in and out of the boat at intervals. The long distance races will have the paddlers leaving Kin Beach and paddling down to Adventure Bay point. They will then head up the north end of the lake, before turning a buoy and heading across to the west shores of the lake. The teams will then paddle to Killiney Beach, where the iron teams will then turn and head back to Kin Beach. The change teams will continue on to Fintry, where they then cross over to Gull Island. Rounding Gull Island, the crews then make their way back to Kin Beach along the east shores, passing the Outback and Ellison Park on their way. The iron race and ladies long course start at Kin Beach at 7 a.m., with the men and mixed crews going at 12:30 p.m. Vernon is being represented by a men’s crew in the long course, and a ladies crew who are preparing for a September race in Hawaii.

Rockets, winning one Memorial Cup. Last season, Gorges played in 36 games for the Canadiens, scoring a goal, adding seven assists while averaging 21:10 ice time per game.
“It’s great, it feels fantastic,” Gorges said of the knee while at the Kelowna Rockets alumni golf tournament Thursday. “I’ve had a lot of time to strength train and work out in the gym. Most guys start their training in June and I was able to start mine in March. I know I had a lot of work to catch up but as of right now this is the strongest I’ve been strength-wise and on the ice. It still feels a little different sometimes when I walk but on the ice it’s great.” It was an injury which dated back to the 2003-04 season when Gorges suffered a damaged ACL in the Western Hockey League playoffs. In effect, he played 7 1/2 seasons without a functioning ACL. “It held on as long as it could,” said Gorges, a Kelowna native who played four seasons with the

The Okanagan Spring/Progressive Automotive Fever open the Slo-Pitch National Co-Ed C championships today at 11 a.m. against the Abbotsford Rhinos in Leduc, Alta. The Fever qualified for the national D tournament last year, but didn’t go since most of their girls were already entered in the women’s B nationals in Calgary, won by the Vernon Whitehouse Mortgage Gators. “We’ve got a very strong team,” said Fever coach Heather Savitsky. “We have a lot of great pitchers which I’m very happy about. We will certainly be competitive.” The Fever take on Amp’t out of Lethbridge this afternoon and then battle the Langley Krunch and Damaged Leftovers of Manitoba in Saturday round-robin games. The double-knockout playoff round begins Sunday with the finals slated for Monday. Gord Tung, Wayne Larsson, Dave Cover, Kurt Roberts, Belinda Marks (Penticton pick-up) and Ernie Capallo (Kamloops) will share the mound for the Fever. Rounding out the female portion of the roster are Kelli Graham, Jenn Thatcher, Brandie Hunter, Michelle Embleton and Nancy Lafreniere. Mike Burke, a former Austrian pro player, Don Hunter, Todd Doyle and Kelowna’s Troy Warner are the other male players with the Fever. There are nine teams in the C division and 96 teams in total at the SPN event.

Village and band ink agreement Morning Star Staff
Two North Okanagan communities have entered into a formal relationship. Lumby and Splats’in First Nation councils signed a memorandum of understanding Monday confirming their intention to pursue a community forest from the Ministry of Forests. “Co-operation is the cornerstone of any partnership and this agreement signifies our willingness to work together to benefit our communities and the land from which we hope to harvest,” said Kevin Acton, Lumby mayor. The village was invited by the provincial government to apply for a community forest agreement and it was encouraged to find a partner. The Splats’in First Nation was chosen as it has an interest in potential lands that could be considered. “We both have a common interest in balancing conservation and utilization of our resources in a sustainable manner for current and future generations,” says the Splats’in First Nation. Staff from the village and band are working with the provincial government to prepare
the community forest application for submission this fall. The next steps
include formation of a corporate structure, selecting an area for the forest, preparing for
open houses to receive community input and finalizing the application.

Early relationships
T
he early settlement years of the 1870s saw hundreds of young men take up land in the lush bunchgrass ranges and fertile valleys of the Interior. They established cattle ranches and settled into their new lives. Loneliness often intruded into their lives as they were usually far away from their nearest neighbour and even farther away from regular mail from home. Tom Ellis, who settled at the foot of Okanagan Lake in 1865, spoke for many young ranchers when he wrote in his diary, “Have been alone for 10 days and am so tired of this solitude, with nothing to do. I would not mind so much if I had a good book Ken Mather to read.” This loneliness was compounded by the lack of eligible white women on the frontier where, in the more isolated areas, there were about 100 men to every white woman. It is, therefore, not surprising that many, if not most, of the early ranchers and ranch hands in the Interior took native women to live with them. Far from home and the racist attitudes that prevailed in Victorian times, it was only normal for these men to seek permanent companionship among the native people who were their closest neighbours. These young women became devoted helpmates, quick to learn the running of a household. Not only did the women prove to be excellent companions for the young men, they also brought with them an extended family that was willing and able to assist in the ranch activities. They adapted quickly to the ways of their husbands but maintained close contacts with their own people and culture. The native women and the resulting children formed the majority of the population in the prerailway days and were generally accepted by all. The children of the native women and nonnative men, living far from the cities at a time when only the occasional stranger would pass by, enjoyed a life of freedom and a closeness to nature that they would remember with fondness in later years. But as the Interior opened up to more and more settlers, couples in mixed-race relationships began to find themselves in the minority and subject to discrimination. White ranchers who had not formalized their relationship through marriage were pressured to discard their native concubines. This ugly discrimination that newcomers evinced against the men with a native wife (referred to sneeringly as klootch for the Chinook word for woman). Inevitably, as more and more white women arrived in the area, the pressure became overwhelming and led to a discreet hiding of the native woman and her children at best or, more frequently, the man would simply reject his native wife and remarry with a white woman.
RANCH TALES
Taking care of you and your teeth
Unfortunately, this was a common outcome and the children of these families found themselves rejected by both of their races. Rejected by the white community, they often turned to their native relatives on the reserves who treated them with suspicion and disdain. Boys at least had the advantage of being accepted on the ranches where they were readily employed as cowboys and labourers. However, many of the rejected children went on to be successful and contributed much to the ranching community of B.C. Some of the great cowboys of the turn of the century were the offspring of white men and native women. Ken Mather is curator at O’Keefe Ranch in Spallumcheen.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Even if you believe you have money to burn, handle your finances with prudence and caution. Deal only with the realities at hand and don’t count on Lady Luck carrying you to victory. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Fence sitting could get you into a lot of trouble, and we’re not just talking sore haunches. Either take a firm position on a critical issue or don’t get involved at all. You don’t need any additional complications. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Avoid talking too freely to a friend about a matter that is supposed to be confidential. Although you usually can trust this person, she or he might misunderstand and spread the news. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) If you are too easily put upon by friends, a certain pal could palm off a difficult job on you that he or she is avoiding because of the responsibility involved. Know what you’re getting into. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Try to keep the needs and interests of your pals on the same level as your own. If you put your wants ahead of those of others, you will quickly alienate their friendship. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Nothing will be accomplished if you aren’t as persevering as you should be in regards to your plans. Throwing in the towel because of a few impediments is folly. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Be wary if you’re offered something on the side for going along with a secret
deal. It could turn out to be nothing but sugar coating that will turn sour at a moment’s notice. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Going against your better judgment is foolish and you know it, so regardless of your reasons for wanting to do so, back off. When you start ignoring your common sense, you’re in trouble.

We have the solution
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Demanding the impossible from a person on whom you palmed off a difficult job is wrong, and you know it. Give him or her the same space you would have wanted for yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Be wary of a merchandiser who is representing something as a bargain when, in fact, he might be merely dumping it because of some hidden imperfections. Shop wisely. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Frustrations will result if you aren’t realistic about the objectives you establish for yourself. If they are too overwhelming or beyond your scope of expertise, you should hire a pro.

VERNON FILM SOCIETY Summer film season continues August 15 with Beginners. The film imaginatively explores the hilarity, confusion, and surprises of love through the evolving consciousness of Oliver (Ewan McGregor). Oliver meets the irreverent and unpredictable Anna (Mélanie Laurent) only months after his father Hal (Christopher Plummer) has passed away. This new love floods Oliver with memories of his father who – following 44 years of marriage – came out of the closet at age 75 to live a full, energized, and wonderfully tumultuous life. The upheavals of Hal’s new honesty, by turns funny and moving, brought father and son closer than they’d ever been able to be. Now Oliver endeavours to love Anna with all the bravery, humour, and hope that his father taught him. All films screen at the Vernon Towne Cinema at 5:45 and 8 p.m. Advance tickets ($7) are on sale one week in advance at the theatre and The Bean Scene.

Aussie trio plays pub JESSICA SCHWITEK Morning Star Staff
Australian band the Rosie Burgess Trio will be swinging though the North Okanagan for a show at Lorenzo’s pub in Enderby. “We started in California,” said frontwoman Rosie Burgess. “We moved our way up the left, and we plan to sorta zig-zag our way back down eventually.” This tour will take about two months, said Burgess, which can take quite a toll on your body. “It can be quite tiring. Sometimes you wake up and you don’t know where you are. All the hotels look kinda the same.” The trick, says Burgess, is to try to stay as healthy as possible, eating as best you can and getting out for exercise regularly. The Rosie Burgess Trio has been in existence for the past four years, yet the nerves
still occasionally rear their ugly head. “Sometimes I still get a bit nervous. It’s when a show is different, like in festivals when we play at 9 a.m., or when we’re part of a big festival with like 3,000 people watching. “But in general I’ve been able to keep that beast out of my life.” No matter what, though, once she gets on stage she delivers

OSC bridges generations Okanagan Science Centre earns award for program that pairs experienced gardeners with Grade 4 students to work in the centre’s garden CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Okanagan Science Centre volunteer Linda Peterat was proud to bring back the Canadian Association of Science Centres’ Cascade 2011 Best Onsite Program from the association’s conference in Sudbury in June. “It’s a real honour for the Intergenerational Landed Learning Program. We were delighted and surprised,” said Peterat, professor emerita of Curriculum Studies, University of British Columbia and co-founder, with Dr. Jolie Mayer-Smith, of the Intergenerational Landed Learning on the Farm for the Environment Project at UBC Farm in 2002. She introduced the program to the Okanagan Science Centre in 2008 and works with Jan Hillis, a registered dietitian who delivers the food component of the program. The program matches experienced gardeners with Grade 4 students from St. James School to spend two-hour sessions regularly from March to June and again in September for the harvest in the centre’s garden. The students learn to grow vegetables and then prepare them and eat together. The focus is on local, organic produce and nutritious food with the students fulfilling their science curriculum through the project. “They become more adventurous in their eating and learn to taste and appreciate the freshness of garden-grown things, as well as the work that goes into producing food. Some of them go on to garden

With the students, parents and friends asking for recipes, Peterat, Hillis and Tathali Urueta-Ortiz, a UBC PhD student, put together the Eats and Treats cookbook. The cookbook has recipes for enjoying everything from the earliest wild greens to fall vegetables, with kid-friendly, kid-tested instructions, lots of pictures and food tips. “The participants in the program tell us how much it means to them,” said Okanagan Science Centre executive director Sandi Dixon. “The kids say it’s fun but hard work. One initially reluctant volunteer who has been with the program since the start says
it’s the most meaningful thing he has done in his retirement. We see the impact and the friendships formed.” Eats and Treats is available at the Okanagan Science Centre with proceeds going to keep the program running. Peterat and the volunteers also speak at other schools and hold workshops for teachers. They have produced a teachers’ resource book, Get Growing Activities for Food and Gardening Learning, which can be adapted for students of other ages, is in use around the province, the country and internationally, as well as for Project WILD, an environmental education program in B.C.

This outdoor walking tour runs rain or shine, so dress appropriately. Tickets are $10 for ages 12 and up, $5 for 12 and under (cash only). No reservations are necessary unless you want to book a private tour for 20 or more.

BIBLE BASICS
The Urim and Thummim,Exod. 28:30: Aaron (High Priest of Israel) shall put in the breastplate of judgement the Urim (Lights) and Thummim (Perfections). The Urim was the oracular brilliancy in the High Priest’s breast. Thummim: one of the epithets in the breastplate as an emblem of complete truth. The Urim represented the shining forth of divine light as from the Word. Thummim represents the fulness of manifestation of both Christ and those to be gathered in.

Spinning away from pain

n the early 1900s cycling was one of the more popular ways to get around town. With gas prices soaring we may see more of that! In addition to using the bike as a recreational mode of transportation, it is an extremely efficient way to keep in shape and improve cardiovascular fitness. One big perk to taking up cycling is that it is non-weight bearing. There is no pounding the joints of the body. However, injuries still occur. Whether you are riding to the corner store, doing triathlons or cycling across the country, you should be comfortable on your bike. If you have neck, back or knee pain, butt sores or hand/ foot numbness, your bike probably doesn’t fit you properly. Knee pain is the most common cycling overuse injury. The dreaded iliotibial band is the most talked about bike injury, and is annoying, persistent and tough to work

seat. A downward tilted seat can produce excessive weight on the front of the bike. The hands and wrists bear this load and they are not designed to withstand this kind of pressure. Often the nerve feels the load of this . Low back pain is usually caused by a reach to the handlebars that is too long or too low. A short reach can also irritate the back. Side-toside rocking from a seat that is too high or if you have a leg length discrepancy may also lead to a sore back. Hyperextension of the neck from an improper bike set-up will compress neck joints or nerves and a stiff, sore neck results. Maybe even nerve pain into the arm and fingers. A reach that is too short can cause neck hypertension or a seat that is tilted with the nose down. Most of us get a sore butt for the first few times out. Obviously a poorly padded seat can cause saddle issues. Seat tilt can as well. As a rule

the seat should be level, but some riders prefer a slight downward tilt at the front for comfort. A narrow seat may also cause discomfort for your sit bones. Excessive rocking from a seat that is too high will create too much friction and movement and can cause saddle soreness. Shop around for a seat suited for your bottom. Cycling should be an enjoyable experi-
ence, not a painful one. If you are experiencing any of the above mentioned aches and pains get on it right away. These are warning symptoms that something needs to be
fixed. If you tend to your body’s messages quickly, you will recover quickly. Cheryl Witter is a physiotherapist at Spine & Sport North End in Vernon.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder Add together the hand strengths Louis Pasteur, a famous French chemist and microbiologist who died in 1895, said, “Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal. My strength lies solely in my tenacity.” Being tenacious is good, but at the bridge table it also helps to have high-card power. In today’s deal, look only at the North hand. Your partner opens one heart, you respond one spade, and he rebids two hearts. What would you do now? South should open one heart. With 11 high-card points, an excellent six-card suit and two aces, that hand has the necessary strength. When South rebids two hearts, he guarantees a six-
card suit and indicates at best 14 high-card points. With 10 points, responder would invite game if the partnership could have a combined holding of 25 or 26 points or the fit was particularly good. Here, though, North knows that they have at most 24 points and that the fit is bad. North should pass, and do so in tempo, in the hope that East unwisely balances. Then North can double anything East or West reaches. How should the play proceed in two hearts? West leads the diamond jack. East takes dummy’s queen with his ace and returns his diamond six. South has four sure losers: one spade, two diamonds and one club. So he can afford only one trump loser.
After taking dummy’s diamond king, declarer should immediately play a heart to his queen. This succeeds whenever East has king-third or king-fourth. Low to the 10 on the first round wins only when East has jack-third, which is less likely.
