Warning issued after drowning in river ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Police are advising the public to use caution on the still-high and still-fast-flowing Shuswap River following a long weekend drowning. A 23-year-old Kelowna woman died when she was pulled into a river logjam near the 400 block of Enderby-Mabel Lake Road Sunday. The woman got tangled up in the logs and was pulled under the water. Her body was recovered a short time later. “Indications are she was out on some type of raft with a group of friends when she was pulled into the jam,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.
“We haven’t seen waters in the Shuswap River this high at this time of the year for quite some time.” — Gord Molendyk “Her friends got to shore and ran to a home to call 911. CPR was attempted on the woman for quite some time, but she could not be revived.” It does not appear the woman was wearing any type of flotation device, and police state she was the only one in the group who got pulled towards the logjam. Police say the August long weekend is
traditionally the kick-off to the tubing season on the river, but conditions are very different this year. “We haven’t seen waters in the Shuswap River this high at this time of year for quite some time, and it’s flowing much faster and colder,” said Molendyk. “We don’t want anybody to get lulled into a false sense of security. The water con-
ditions are totally different this year.” The victim’s name had not been released prior to The Morning Star’s deadline as police and the coroner were in the process of contacting next-of-kin. It’s the second drowning on the Shuswap River in 2011. A 17-year-old Enderby male’s body was pulled from the river in June, nearly three weeks after he was reported missing. Meanwhile, police said there is still no sign of a 31-year-old Vernon man who went missing in Monashee Creek, near Cherryville, on the May long weekend. The man went missing from the Goldpanner Campground after he allegedly went into the creek to retrieve his dog.

Morning Star Staff
“There is no compelling reason, at this time, to initiate such a shift. RDNO’s recycling and disposal facilities have between 23 and 59 years of capacity remaining. The current solid waste management program is generally well received by the public and has been relatively successful.� Director Mike Macnabb says considerable time has been spent convincing people to recycle. “I don’t want people to have a mindset that they can just throw stuff out without sorting and recycling (for incineration),� he said. “It would be a step backwards.� Incineration wouldn’t completely eliminate the need for landfills, said Macnabb.
“Incinerators have a solid waste component. We would still need a landfill,� said Macnabb. Director Dave Brew is not pleased with the staff ’s recommendations. “We have to look at all possibilities because the current cost of (landfill) operations is astronomical,� he said. “We are budgeting about $400,000 a year to eventually close the landfills down.� Brew also says that incineration is a proven technology for handling waste. “These things are successful in Europe and they should be considered,� he said. CanKor is seeking $10,000 from the regional district for a feasibility study for the proposed facility.
A rural Enderby man is dead following an accident on a farm. Emergency services personnel were called to a farm in the 1400 block of Enderby-Mabel Lake Road shortly after noon Friday. “Initial indications are that a 53-year-old man was in the process of changing a tire on a large piece of irrigation equipment, the piece that holds the large reel with all of the pipe that goes around it, when it fell on him, pinning him underneath it,� said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson, Monday. Gord Molendyk “The man died at the scene.� WorkSafe B.C. has identified the equipment as a ty-crop irrigation reel, and has suggested that a jack being used to change the tire shifted, causing the equipment to fall on the man. WorkSafe B.C., which is investigating the file now along with the coroner, said the man was working alone and that there were no witnesses to the accident. No name has been released at this point but Molendyk indicated that family members were on the scene. Molendyk said police have reason to believe the victim is the owner of the farm.

News Senior robbed at ATM ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A suspect was arrested but no charges were laid following a robbery in downtown Vernon Saturday. RCMP report a 79-year-old man had just taken an undisclosed amount of money out of the ATM at the Scotiabank branch on 30th Avenue when he was approached by a man in his 50s. “The money was stolen from the elderly man,” said Gord Molendyk, Vernon RCMP spokesperson. “Our officers made patrols of the area and a male suspect was arrested.” Molendyk said the file remains under investigation and that police are continuing to do follow-up work on the incident, including checking on a report that the victim may have made prior contact with the suspect. “The man believes he had spoken to the suspect a few weeks before, and it appears the suspect followed the man to the bank,” said Molendyk. It is believed the money stolen has not been recovered.

Lt.-Col. Lyle Johnson, Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre commanding officer, elicits a positive response from the cadets who arrived on the weekend for their three-week courses at the facility.
Paintball shooting alarms motorist Several times a year, Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP receive reports of individuals using paintball guns in an inappropriate manner. July 28 was one of those times. During the Thursday morning commute, a Lavington motorist reported having her vehicle hit by paintballs on Highway 6 in the area between the two gas stations. “The caller was very upset and concerned, and feels that drivers could panic when their vehicle is hit by paintballs, especially in a moving vehicle,� said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. Police say there is a time and place for people to use paintball guns, but shooting at moving vehicles on a highway isn’t one of them. “There are times when an individual could be using these (guns) in an

GREATER VERNON WATER UTILITY - WATER QUALITY ADVISORY - UPDATE
ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Sofa Chaise
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.

A firefighter tackles a grass fire in Becker Park, near the curling club, July 29.
Fire risk soars with heat RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Summer heat has finally arrived and that is fuelling alerts about wildfires. Vernon residents are being urged to be cautious with sources of ignition after about an acre of grassland in Becker Park was scorched by flames July 29. “We’re into a high fire risk and it’s going to get higher because of the hot weather,” said Lawrie Skolrood, deputy fire chief. The alert has been issued to anyone visiting local parks as well as wilderness areas surrounding subdivisions.
Cigarette butts, campfires and sparks from vehicle exhaust systems can lead to fires starting. “There’s a real need to be careful when outdoors,” said Skolrood. Quick action led the Becker Park fire from spreading to nearby homes and the Vernon Recreation Complex. But Skolrood says there was the potential for the fire to expand. “There’s a lot of dead grass in there,” he said of the park. A cause for the fire has not been determined yet. “We’re not sure if it was premeditated, kids playing with matches or someone cooking food,” said Skolrood.

Fun Facts!
Apricots are those beautifully orange coloured fruits full of beta-carotene and fibre that are one of the first signs of summer. Relatives to peaches, the nutrients in apricots can help protect the heart and eyes, as well as provide the disease-fighting benefits of fibre. The high beta-carotene content of apricots makes them important heart health foods. Beta-carotene helps protect LDL cholesterol from oxidation, which may help prevent heart disease.

Stop the rhetoric
I
f you listen to Mayor Wayne Lippert, Vernon is the municipal equivalent to Luke Skywalker while Coldstream and the electoral areas get the heavy-breathing role of Darth Vader. In response to Coldstream announcing it doesn’t support splitting up the water utility, Lippert told Kiss FM, “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?” Now if my memory Richard Rolke holds up, Coldstream has always been fairly consistent that Vernon’s urge to leave water distribution is a mistake and will negatively impact all customers who have invested in the multimillion-dollar system. Coldstream was more likely driven towards letting Vernon withdraw as a way of ending the debate than thinking it’s a good idea. Lippert’s criticism came at the same time that Vernon council declared opposition to any changes to the parks and recreation function — something Coldstream has wanted. “The service serves all of the citizens and it’s been working fine,” said Lippert. While Lippert slams Coldstream for flipflopping over water, the city’s position on parks has more cracks than 27th Street. Motions have been passed saying council favours the status quo, but at other times, officials have indicated no concern with some parks being removed from the service and being maintained by individual jurisdictions. In February 2010, Lippert told The Morning Star that he supported reviewing the scope of the parks function which was formed in 1978. “The public’s demands have changed and new people have come in. We need to change the service for the better for the needs of our citizens,” he said. Coldstream’s push for more control over what it considers to be local parks is no different than Vernon insisting it can do better if it’s

not part of regional water distribution. If a go-it alone approach is suitable for Vernon, why is it so against one of its neighbours taking a similar direction? Ultimately, all residents of Greater Vernon, will be harmed by jurisdictions dropping out of water or parks. Sharing capital and operational costs makes sense instead of placing a significant burden on taxpayers in any one area. In some cases, facilities aren’t owned by either municipality but collectively by the Regional District of North Okanagan. It should also be pointed out that all residents use the parks and recreation facilities, while water from Duteau Creek and Kalamalka Lake flows into homes in all jurisdictions. Lippert has suggested that people are increasingly frustrated with the conflicts at RDNO and the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee. And while that may be true, Vernon can’t separate itself from both agencies. It has a seat at the table and covers a large chunk of the budget. Vernon is RDNO and GVAC. Speaking of conflict, Lippert was the subject of a blistering attack last week. “I don’t believe anyone can get along with Wayne Lippert,” Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick said in response to Lippert’s radio comments. “Wayne Lippert has a way of turning everything into a fight.” It’s not unusual for elected politicians to joust back and forth, but the personal tone of Garlick’s rant was unprecedented. Obviously Garlick has issues with Vernon, but the city is equally frustrated by what it sees as Coldstream’s inflexible stance over parks. Garlick claims that getting along with Lippert is difficult but it’s unlikely Garlick’s actions will help discussions flow any easier. Speaking his mind may have felt good, but will it help his residents? Ultimately, both Garlick and Lippert have expressed concerns about the long-term impact of the ongoing dispute. But if they truly want to do what’s best for their constituents, they’ll check the rhetoric at the door and get down to business.
With just two days until the deadline to mail in your HST ballot, time has run out to make your mark. Friday is the last day Elections BC will receive envelopes which means if you wanted to take part in this important decision, you should’ve done it by now. There is only word to truly describe the HST mess: unfortunate. It’s unfortunate the Liberals so badly bungled rolling it out. It’s unfortunate the NDP has spearheaded a tax revolt without real alternatives. It’s unfortunate the political landscape of this province has been dominated by this discussion while much more pressing issues get neglected. Despite the political upheaval over this little acronym, it would be even more unfortunate if the province is forced back to the old tax system with a yes vote. The Liberals are guilty of misleading voters on the HST. The manner in which the Liberals got us to this point will not be forgotten come general election time. Just as alarming as the Liberals’ path to this referendum is the NDP strategy. The electoral gamesmanship on display over the last year has been all-time. The party has taken every opportunity to trace back almost all issues to the lowhanging fruit of tax revolt, all the while providing very little in the way of solutions. Firing up the masses over increased taxation is easy, sound policy is hard. The best weather vane of this referendum may be the Green Party of BC – a party looking to be more pragmatic than political. Last month party delegates debated the HST at their AGM. A distinct majority, including party leader Jane Sterk and prominent local Greens, voted in favour of keeping the HST. One main reason is that the HST is a true consumption tax. Those who make more money will spend more money and in turn pay more tax. – Abbotsford News

Vote no in referendum
I
n all of the publications about HST, no one has outlined why we should support business. 1. Common sense says that when the B.C. government budget is $9,800 for every man, woman and child living in B.C., we cannot generate $39,200 for every family of four by trading amongst ourselves. It is logical that business must step up and export goods and services to take up the slack. For this reason, we need the government to encourage business to locate and expand into B.C. 2. Common sense says that if business costs increase by the PST, then business will recover those costs by increasing prices to the consumer. Instead of paying HST, a consumer will pay a higher price for the product, then pay GST and PST for a particular item. In simplistic words, a tax on a tax. 3. Common sense says if I am a business executive considering investing $1 million in a new venture, then the investment will take place where you get the biggest bang for the dollar, i.e. if the business is going to invest $1million in new computers and office equipment, where do we invest? Common
BROKEN TRUST I have been a business owner in this community for many years and I am happy and willing to pay the PST providing the government uses the revenue as it was intended. In a recent Morning Star, our MLA writes that the HST is good for the two major industries in our region. He was very right in that the corporations will pocket all of the new rebates and become richer. Mr. Foster claims they'll purchase more and better equipment in their operations, hence create more jobs. I believe this is totally false. Big business buys more equipment to improve their operations and eliminate jobs, not to create more employment. Just think of the faller-buncher in the forest industry and how many jobs that machine replaced. The Liberal government uses our tax money and plenty of it to place ads in the media trying to persuade the voters to their favour. If the HST is so good for this province, why are they spending so much money trying to convince the voters? Furthermore, the referendum ballots were designed in such a way as to confuse the voters.
sense says invest in Ontario or Alberta. It is particularly punitive if any borrowing for the expansion of new ventures is required, then the business must borrow just to pay tax. Business will also increase its selling price of the product to recover the extra cost. If base cost of doing business is equal by retaining the HST, the decision to invest will be determined by other factors such as quality of life for the employees. 4. Common sense says one tax is better than two taxes for the following reasons: a. One reporting form is better than two reporting forms. b. One deadline for filing is better than
The HST is an unfair tax. When businesses and industries get all of their extra rebates in their coffers, then the rest of the consumers have to make up for this huge shortfall in revenue by paying tax on goods and services that weren't taxed before the HST. This will create more working poor. I urge all of you voters. Think this through carefully. Please vote yes to kill this unfair tax. George Lee DON'T DO IT I hope that those who wish to extinguish the harmonized sales tax understand the meaning of, "Cutting off one's nose to spite one's face." J.T. Taylor NO CONSULTATION Two years ago, the newly elected Liberals unleashed a nasty surprise on the population of B.C. The HST was implemented without any public consultation, debate in the Legislature or due process. The HST is sold to us as a onestop tax that will result in lower costs to consumers and a more competitive climate for business in B.C. What the HST actually is, is some-
two different deadlines for filing. c. One set of exemptions is better than two different sets of exemptions. d. Less staff training on the different exemptions. e. Less chances of error on one tax system rather than two tax systems. 5. Common sense says one sales tax audit is better than two different sales tax audits. 6. Common sense says the simpler the tax system, the easier it is for businesses to comply and for the government to enforce. In general, common sense indicates that a commodity tax (consumption tax) is a fairer system of taxing society because:
thing completely different. It could best be described as a user fee levied against everybody who chooses to participate economically in society throughout the course of their lives. The tax is a straight seven per cent addition in the cost of many goods and services that used to be only taxed at seven per cent. It removes the burden of paying tax from corporations and the super rich and puts the burden on everyone who buy groceries, diapers, gas, tires, haircuts, school supplies and everything else a family needs. The HST is said to be revenue neutral and will foster investment and make B.C. attractive to companies. When one considers that the cost of most necessary consumer goods has jumped seven per cent, it is very hard to understand how this tax could be called revenue neutral. When this was pointed out to the Liberals, they responded by saying that low-income people would receive a tax credit of around $170 per year. The real cost to a family is said to be between $1,000 and $2,000 per year. We were asked to believe the outrageous idea that the HST would introduce lower prices for consumers
1. The wealthy or high income people pay more tax because they spend more disposable income on taxable items. 2. The underground economy pays tax on everything they buy. Therefore, drug dealers and other people who avoid income tax pay a commodity tax. 3. Tourists pay a part of B.C. government operating costs by paying a commodity tax. 4. Making less red tape for business attracts new business to the province. All tax systems are going to hurt some segment of the economy, however, common sense says we must consider what is good for us on an overall basis. Common sense indicates we need a competitive tax system which will attract new business expansion to the province. Common sense says new business equals new jobs with job spinoffs. We need to get over how the HST was introduced. Very few rational people believe the political rhetoric the B.C. government has given us about the introduction, but common sense says HST is best for B.C. Vote with me to retain the HST. Vote no. P.J. Lett, FCA
because the companies would return the seven per cent to the consumer in the form of lower prices. Simply put, the HST takes a tax obligation of almost $2 billion from large corporations and financial institutions and places that obligation square on the shoulders of the poor, working and the middle class. Even if you own a business and are happy with the ease at which you can now claim your input tax credits, remember those people you call customers have less money to purchase your goods or services. That is not good for your business. Vote yes to extinguish the HST. Steve Gunner CARTOON IN POOR TASTE The caricature of Jack Layton in your July 29 edition is a blatant example of schadenfreude, the pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. It was way beyond the limits of poor taste. It can only be viewed as insensitive and downright crude. Shame on the creator of this cartoon and shame on The Morning Star for
publishing it. H.L. Roeters

Members of the Armstrong Food Initiative Society are looking for fruit and vegetables to share with residents of the community.
Society seeks surplus food JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Armstrong is harvesting support for a program linking farmers with consumers in need. The Armstrong Food Initiative Society is starting up the produce sharing program again, starting Aug. 15. The idea behind the initiative is to reduce local food waste by linking growers, who might have an abundance of fruit and vegetables, with consumers who don’t have access to fresh produce. “People with extra — de la Salle produce bring it in and we give it to people who need it,” said Jill de la Salle, with AFIS, who appreciates having a place to offer up her excess squash. “We’ve got zucchinis coming out of our ears.” So whether its rapidly ripening cherries or more potatoes than you know what to do with, the program offers a place to put your produce to good use. Every Monday between Aug. 15 and Oct. 10, anyone wanting to donate extra produce can drop it off at the community garden (behind the red caboose on Smith Drive) between 9 and 10 a.m. Then those who don’t have access to fresh produce can pick it up between 10 a.m. and noon Mondays. If this time frame is not convenient, call Jill at 250-546-8335 or Laurie at 250-546-9681.

Q: A:
Purchasing & Marketing Director, Certified Interior Designer
I need to accessorize my home, how should I do it? Where do I start?
Accessorizing is FUN and does not have to be overwhelming, start with one room at a time. Here are a few easy tips you can do yourself: Area Rug: Choose a rug that would then tie in your furniture and blend with the rooms focal points. Accent Chair: An accent chair can be a totally different and unique piece of furniture that can add flavor in your room. You use the same fabric for toss cushions for your sofa and/or loveseat to pull it all together! Adding a Wall Color: If you need to add some color, paint a feature wall! Remember, no pain no gain. It does take time to get good results. Do not give up hunting for those pieces. Read through magazines, search the internet, tour local show homes and furniture stores to get ideas. Of course, there is also the option of hiring a designer to help with the initial planning stages of creating a new space. It’s always nice to have that expert opinion. ACCESSORIZE - Be creative, be resourceful and make it happen! Discover the artist in you!

Q: A:
What is an “All Inclusive” package?
All Inclusive packages have become very popular in most sun destinations; you’ll have most aspects of your holiday paid for before you leave home which gives you a stress-free vacation. An all inclusive package includes, but is not limited to, airfare, accommodation, transfers to and from your hotel, all meals, drinks, non-motorized water sports, services of a tour representative in your destination and taxes (with the exception of departure taxes in some countries i.e. Cuba which is $25.00) The most common destinations that offer all inclusive resorts are Mexico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic and some Caribbean Islands. Most tour operators offer very attractive early booking bonuses on all inclusive packages … visit us in August or September to take advantage of these offers. Our knowledgeable agents have visited many of the all inclusive destinations and are happy to share their experiences and tips with you.

Q: A:
Will a solar film for my house windows cut down on heat this summer?
Yes it will! A solar film will block up to 80% of solar heat and 99% of damaging UV rays that enter your house through your windows. The majority of a house’ solar heat is gained and lost through them. A solar film from Solartech acts like insulation for your windows, during the summer it reflects heat and during the winter it traps heat in, thus making it easier to maintain a steady temperature and taking the workload off of the AC and furnace. All leading up to a 30% potential savings in your expenditures. And with all the different types of films, there is guaranteed to be one for every customers custom home design.

BBA, Marketing, Web & Graphic Design Specialist
What are some of the benefits of Social Media?
Social Media is a great channel in your marketing mediums that can be used to help bring in leads, expand your reputation and grow revenues. It’s a tool that many individuals are using to connect and receive feedback about different businesses, events and products. As Jeffrey Gitomer says “Social Media is the New Cold Call”. And yes, it’s part of the “consumer research” people are using to make decisions before they buy. To be successful in social media marketing you need to be dedicated to being involved and communicating directly with consumers and other businesses. You also need to be dedicated to your brand. One of the biggest benefits of social media is that you don’t need to have an extravagant marketing budget to be involved – but you need time and a willingness to engage and connect with people on an ongoing basis.
At Solartech Films a friendly professional will come to your house for a free, no pressure quote and educate you on all your options.

Certified Personal Trainer
How do I decide on what options I should purchase for my kitchen?
Islands are a very special feature to kitchens design and added functionality. Size is proportionate to available space. Your egress from Island C/ Top front edge to wall C/Top front edge should be between 36”- 42”. 42” being ideal and if space allows I have done a few at 48” but that should be the rare exception. The reason for this is in your footing. You should only be transferring your position in one clean step, otherwise you are shuffling a half step and this creates a trip zone and wears on your flooring. Now you can make the island as big as you have room for as long as it does not extend beyond the footprint of the kitchen or interfere with natural traffic flow. Your work stations should all be on no more than two sides of an island, other wise it will become an impediment to function and flow. Big Islands should all be one level. The raised eating bar is more for smaller or angled islands. The bigger the island the more features is should have to make a grand statement such as posts, flutes, corbels, library panel, furniture kick, glass doors or wine racks etc.

Why is strength training referred to as “the fountain of youth”?
Pills and potions just cover up our ageing process. Strength training actually substantially slows it down, to such an extent that your body becomes younger than your actual calendar age. Can you really afford not to take care of your body? Strength training will reverse your aging process and bring back that youth and vitality you once had, no matter your age!

Vancouver gypsy collective Tambura Rasa perform at this year’s Jam Camp Summer Dance at the Mabel Lake Community Hall Aug. 11. “Jam Camp is where professional musicians collaborate with participants in a friendly, welcoming environment. You don’t have to have previous musical experience to enjoy Jam Camp, you just have to be ready to have a good time.” Headed by Ivan Tucakov, Tambura Rasa describe their Balkanflamenco fusion as a mix of dark chocolate with cayenne: it’s a little bitter, a little spicy and sweet,
but oh so addictive. Tucakov comes from a Serbo-Croatian background, but was raised in the cultural myriad of Turkey, a melting pot for global culture. He is flanked by his counterpart Michael Fraser, a rock star on the fiddle with a passion for gypsy sounds. The men are backed by Trevor Grant, a jazz/ rock drummer, John Bews on bass, and Robin Layne, a globe trotting

Band to jam at Jam Camp dance
Those who missed, or loved, musical act Tambura Rasa at the Komasket Music Festival will get another chance to see the Vancouver gypsy collective when they play at the annual Jam Camp Summer Dance. The event takes place at the Mabel Lake Community Hall on the Shuswap River, just north of Lumby, Aug. 11. “If you are looking to do some dancing under the starry summer sky to some crazy gypsy music, come on out,” said Jam Camp instructor Celina Tumbach. Proceeds from ticket sales support Jam Camp, a musical adventure for people of all ages. The camps are set on the shores of the Shuswap River as well as Mabel Lake. “Kids and adults alike play instruments, sing songs and dance the summer heat away,” said Tumbach.

She will be at the VPAG to give an artist’s talk about her work Oct. 8 at 1 p.m. Also opening is Toben McFarlane’s suite of photographic images, Exploration of Identity, which represent a reflection on the complexities and issues of Métis identity as individuals and as a collective. The work is based on McFarlane’s personal experiences, which examine the sociological meaning of cultural identity.

The subject matter of Brigitta Kocsis’ exhibition of paintings, titled Secret Mechanisms, examines the human body in the context of what constitutes a desirable body image in a contemporary society. “Human figures are like actors depicting a kind of abhorrent contemporary beauty in the age where science fiction and artificial body parts are no longer fiction,” says Kocsis in her artist’s statement. “Despite the fact that the works in the exhibition navigate the space between figurative and abstract painting, the images are an amalgamation of the human body and technological and medical possibilities for its alteration.” Also on exhibit is Heather Hawkshaw’s Everydays, which focuses on creating abstract images from readily available sources, including scanned and photographed household items, images, pieces of packaging materials, and fragmented photographs of house interiors. Hawkshaw’s studio practice is based on digital manipulation of images through the process of deconstruc-

Those looking at Derek Besant’s exhibition, The End of Language, may think they are in need of eyeglasses. But before forking over hundreds for new spectacles, please note, the blurry images are intentional. Besant’s show, opening at the Vernon Public Art Gallery Thursday, addresses several issues pertinent to the nature of human perception and cognition: the structure of narrative driven art forms and the ability to convey meaning, and the use of text and photo-based imagery in contemporary art making, said Cyan Kregosky, VPAG curatorial assistant, in a press release. “The images are outof-focus portraits of men and women with additional fragments of text superimposed over top, adding another layer of signification,” she said. “The use of text in Besant’s work further contributes to the modality of generating possible narratives contained in the work, but also by the viewers that navigate complex non-linear narratives contained in the exhibition.” Besant will be at the gallery just before the opening reception Thursday to give an artist talk about his work starting at 6 p.m. The End of Language is part of three other new exhibitions opening at the VPAG.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The respectful manner in which you treat the property of others will not go unnoticed. You’ll not only handle things with great care, but also return them polished and restored to brand-new condition. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) To your credit, you won’t hesitate to make compromises or concessions in order to placate a friend of long standing. Interestingly, once you start to yield, so will your pal. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Because you’re apt to be quite innovative and imaginative, you could be a bit impatient if you think something is holding you back. Try to remain calm at all times. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Even luck has its limitations, so don’t press yours beyond a reasonable amount. Hopes can be realized through patient proceedings, not through magical, hail-mary maneuvers. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) It might be wise to try to keep relatives and in-laws out of your personal affairs if you can. Even though they might only be trying to help, they could still gum up the works for you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) In trying to give aid, a kind friend might try to cover for you by telling another not what you really said, but what she or thinks you should have said. Fortunately, your pal won’t make things worse. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) To your credit, instead of worrying about what you might have lost, you’ll
balance out any losses on apples by finding a way to pick up some gains on peaches. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Even though your independence means everything to you, you’ll enjoy getting closely involved with another for a common cause. Of course, you might want to run the show. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) One of the things you do best is be remarkably productive when on a roll, and it’s likely to be one of those times. If so, you can expect to accomplish quite a bit. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You can’t help but be attracted to anything or anyone who is exciting and different. Should you run across such a person, take care you don’t neglect your old pals for the new discovery. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your instincts are rather remarkable, which could be a blessing for you if you are involved in some kind of negotiations that require an understanding of dollars and cents.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder Patience gives the right answer Brian Adams, a Canadian rock musician, said: “Learn the art of patience. Impatience breeds anxiety, fear, discouragement and failure. Patience creates conďŹ dence, decisiveness and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success.â€? That’s an excellent thought for bridge, especially on a deal like this one. How would you play in three notrump after West leads the heart king? North and South have simple bids. Note that West, despite his great suit, is right to pass over one no-trump. To overcall with a one-suiter, one needs at least a sixbagger. Yes, here two hearts doubled costs only 300, but
that does not make it a good bid. You start with eight top tricks: three spades, one heart and four clubs. The ninth winner must come from diamonds. But should you play low to your jack or to your king? Perhaps you have heard about the Rule of Seven. When you have only one top trick in the suit your opponent has led, you add the number of cards you have in the dummy and your hand in that suit. You subtract the total from seven and hold up your winner for that number of rounds. Here, the rule recommends taking the second heart. However, you need to know how the hearts are breaking. Hold up dummy’s ace until the third
round. Here, you learn that West began with ďŹ ve hearts. If he has the diamond ace as well, you are down. So play a diamond to your king. If the hearts prove to be 4-3, you have to guess diamonds to avoid losing three hearts and two diamonds -- good luck!

Funds support 4-H youth Morning Star Staff
The provincial government is investing $85,000 in the B.C. 4-H program’s young members through a grant. More than 2,350 young people between six and 21 years old participate in the program, which has the goals of youth development, with a focus on knowledge, leadership, citizenship and personal development. “B.C. 4-H teaches kids how to be great British Columbians and these young people are some of the greatest. They’ve learned respect for animals and people, and about the hard work that goes into growing and raising our food,” said Agriculture Minister Don McRae. “A lot of these kids are also part of a larger network of B.C.’s farm families, and since nine out of 10 of our farms are family-owned and operated, this grant is

work in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture as we train and build future leaders for our communities and the agriculture industry,” said B.C. 4-H president Susy Chung Smith. “B.C. 4-H is the training ground to learn about agriculture commodities and production, as well as other lifelong skills such as public speaking, responsibility and goalsetting. Together we are building a strong future in agriculture.” Quick Facts: N 4-H stands for head, heart, hands and health.

Racers paddle up a storm at the start of the Vernon Paddling Centre's annual Freshwater Challenge Saturday at Kin Beach.
Paddlers take Freshwater plunge CHRISTINE CASTRUCOW For the Morning Star
Sunshine and the Vernon Paddling Centre’s Freshwater Challenge Outrigger races seem to go hand in hand. Approximately 170 paddlers from across B.C. and Alberta enjoyed stellar weather as they descended on Kin Beach last weekend.
A total of 52 racers competed in single and double outriggers and surf skis Saturday, with several Vernon athletes reaching the podium in the 10-kilometre race. Vernon’s Bob Woodman, competing in the master’s surf ski division, was the overall winner, covering the course in 39 minutes, 45 seconds. Club mate Glenn Bond crossed the

line in 40:29 to win the open division. In the single outrigger class, Vernon’s Scott Siemens claimed first in masters in 46:36, and was just four seconds behind the first overall paddler. Kim Dolaszar, in the senior master’s, won in his division and fourth overall in 48:09. In mixed doubles, the Vernon duo of Donna LePape and Ken Crosby recorded first in senior masters in 44:43. Valaine Anonson and Guy Paulson, both founding members of the Vernon club, reunited to pocket second in the master’s division in 51:32. Greg McElgunn combined with Eric Prehofer of Kelowna to take second in the men’s masters division in 49:06. The six-person outrigger (OC-6) races took place on Sunday, with 17 teams participating in 24- and 44-kilometre distances. Teams of six took advantage of calm waters to clock great times in the 24-km course. The Penticton men placed first, covering the course in 2:16:05, while the women’s division was won by the Calgary Canoe Club in 2:26:30. The Calgary club also earned first in the short course, change division (nine paddlers) with 2:45:55. Battling windier conditions in the afternoon, the Vernon men took the 44-km change race in 4:06:12, recording their third title in four years.
Crew captain Siemens noted they had never encountered water as big in past races. Several times, the whole team was paddling on the same side to prevent the boat from capsizing. The local crew consisted of Dolaszar, Woodman, Bond and Crosby, bolstered by Chris Nicholson and Darryl Spencer (Kamloops), Ian Chadwick (Prince George) and Harry James (Vernon). Second place in the men’s class was Pacific Reach of Victoria in 4:12:54, with third going to Calgary in 4:18:23. The Penticton Racing Canoe Club took the mixed division for the second year in a row, finishing in 4:48:03. Second place was the Wailua (Kamloops) club in 5:04:01, while the False Creek Canoe Club of Vancouver took third in 5:06:09. The Vernon women’s crew used the 24-km race in the afternoon as a training run for an upcoming race in Kona, Hawaii. They will be racing against more than 100 teams in the 40th annual Queen Lili’uokalani Outrigger Race Sept. 3. Crew members Monika Lawrence, Donna LePape, Peggy Kassa, Christine Castrucow, Debbie Jones and Lorellei Sullivan covered the route in 2:38:26.

Coldstream's Bayne Bosquet (from left) and Ryan Landels, along with Vernon's Ryan Sarazin, will compete with Team B.C. at the Canadian Field Lacrosse Championships, Sept. 2-4 in Burnaby. Bosquet and Landels will play with the Under 19 squad, while Sarazin is with the U16 team.
Nationals field local trio GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Coldstream’s Ryan Landels is hoping fourth time is a charm. After three straight silver medals at the Canadian Field Lacrosse Championships, the Kalamalka Laker grad would like nothing more than to hoist the First Nations Cup this year at the Under 19 tournament, Sept. 2-4 in Burnaby. “We’ve come second every year (to Ontario). We’d like to win gold for a change,” smiled Landels, a goalie. “The Prairies are getting better, but it’s up in the air between B.C. and Ontario.” Landels will be joined on the Team B.C. in Burnaby by Coldstream’s Bayne Bosquet, who is making his debut at nationals, as is Vernon’s Ryan Sarazin, who will compete with the B.C. squad for the U16 Alumni Cup. Landels, who turns 19 in September, is out in Alberta working on the oil fields. He also plays defence/transition in box lacrosse with the Edmonton Eclipse of the Alberta junior A league.
He learned about the league from a friend after moving to Edmonton, and they both tried out together. “He got cut and I made it,” grinned Landels, who is still unable to pick a favourite between field and box. “They’re totally different; you can’t compare the two. I love them both and I’m playing what I love year-round.” Landels recalls earning field lacrosse goaltending duty by default as a 15-year-old. “I started playing goal because no one else would, and I turned out to be half decent at it and here I am now,” he smiled. Landels plans to try out for Team Canada, with the hopes of playing at the 2012 World Championships in Helsinki, Finland. Bosquet, who played junior B box with the Vernon Re/Max Tigers and field with the North Okanagan Legends, is looking forward to testing his skills against high-calibre competition in the Burnaby tourney. “I think it’ll be a good test to go out
there and see what I got. You get to play with the best in Canada, so that’s exciting,” said Bosquet, a defender. Like Landels and Sarazin, Bosquet attended the Burnaby Mountain Selects field lacrosse development program, operated by head coach Brent Hoskins, who is also co-head coach of the Simon Fraser University Clan men’s team. Bosquet has travelled with Selects touring teams to North American tournaments in Baltimore, New York and San Diego. “Overall, the coaching there is just fantastic. It’s a great atmosphere to go and learn our skills. If you surround yourself with better players you just step your game up all around,” said Bosquet. Sarazin recently returned from a tour with the Selects to New York State where his junior elite squad went 1-4-1 at the Syracuse
University Summer Shootout. The 16-year-old Fulton student says it was a big opportunity to showcase his skills in front of scouts. “It’s a lot of coaches, anywhere from 60 to 80. It’s a big recruiting time in the summer. I’ve gotten some looks, and I’m definitely looking to receive something,” said Sarazin, who got to tour the Big Apple after the tourney, including stops at Ground Zero, Battery Park and NBC Studios. Sarazin, a midfielder and faceoff specialist who plays box and field with the North Okanagan A2 Legends, says the process of earning a spot on Team B.C. has been a long one. In the last year, he has counted nearly 20 trips to the Lower Mainland for tryouts and practice with the Selects and B.C. programs. “At first it’s a long drive, but after three
or four times you get used to it. You’re bound to have to travel if you want to play at that level,” shrugged Sarazin. “It’s (Alumni Cup) going to be a good learning experience, and with it being in Burnaby, it’s close to home so we’ll have lots of fans.”
Vernon’s Chris Baryla bagged $68,000 in the $6 million PGA Tour’s Greenbrier Classic in Sulphur Springs, W. Va. Baryla, 28, carded a 3-under 67 Sunday after shooting 72 Saturday at the Old White TCP course. The VSS Panther and Texas-El Paso Miners grad finished in a nine-way tie for 18th place. Canadian David Hearn also ended up at 5-under 275. Baryla, who made his first cut this season, recorded nines of 32 and 35 Sunday, earning an eagle three on the par-5 12th hole. He averaged 313 yards per drive for the four rounds. Scott Stallings of Worcester, Ma. made a birdie on the final hole to qualify for a three-way playoff, then sprinted in excitement toward the 18th tee and showed he could repeat the feat on the first extra hole. The PGA Tour rookie sank a 7-footer for birdie on the 168-yard hole to beat Bob Estes and Bill Haas. After watching Estes and Haas miss longer birdie attempts on the first extra hole, Stallings curled in his putt for his first tour victory. He flipped his putter, then hugged and high-fived his caddie. The 26-year-old Stallings is the 10th first-time winner on the PGA Tour this year and the sixth rookie to do it. Stallings overcame a tough start and made six birdies on the back nine to gain the playoff, where he earned a winner’s check worth $1.08 million and a spot in the Bridgestone Invitational. Estes and Haas each earned $528,000. Haas earned his fourth top-10 finish of the season and improved to 12th in the FedEx standings. The 45-year-old Estes missed out on his first tour win since 2002. Estes sat out the first three months of the year with a wrist injury and was playing in just his seventh tournament. Estes, playing with a respiratory illness, shot 6-under 64 and was the clubhouse leader at 10 under, then found out Haas birdied the par-5 17th six groups later to join him after a 67.

Ogopogos send Mule crew packing Morning Star Staff
The Big O Tire Ogopogos celebrated the B.C. Day holiday by grounding the Kelowna Rented Mules 4-0 in Okanagan Men’s 45+ Soccer League action at Mission 71 Sports Field. The Tiremen (7-9) came out passing the ball the best they have done all year which helped wear down the Rented Mules (3-112), who only had one substitute. The Ogopogos went up 4-0 before the Mules finally solved keeper King (Yogi) Kongsdorf, who was brilliant in fustrating the relentless Mules all night, especially in the early minutes. John Garner opened the scoring on a nice break in play, Gary Dill made a nifty play at the 18-yard line and made no mistake as he moved in and Paul Hunter unleashed an excellent, hard rolling kick from the outside corner tight into the corner off the keeper’s finger tips, to make it 3-0. Volker Otto corralled a nice high pass off his chest from Brad Conlin in front of the 18, breaking in free and recording the nicest goal of the night in the top part of the net to complete the offence. Meanwhile, red-hot Rick Raber didn’t sleep much thanks to his 30-year high school reunion, but he managed to record his third straight two-goal performance as the Vernon Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels rallied to clip the North Country Appraisals Kickers 3-2 at Marshall Field #1. Gord Howard made a couple of moves near the 18 and dished to Raber, whose first shot struck the crossbar. His rebound also caught the crossbar but dipped under and in for the winner, in the final minute. Defender Stu Whitling’s high cross after an overlap was bobbled by Kickers’ keeper Marty Vince and rolled into the net 10 minutes earlier. The second-place Humpbacks, who improved to 12-2-2, took a first-half lead when Raber converted on a header after a passing play involving John Gardner and Rob Hulstein, in the 25th minute.

North Country Appraisals Kickers' Jamie Macpherson winds up for a pass before Vernon Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels' Stuart Whitling can intercept in Okanagan Oldtimers 45+ Soccer League action Monday night at Marshall Field #5. North Country equalized early in the second half when Will Kruiper clicked on a breakaway, going low on keeper Dave Dutcher. The 10-3-3 Kickers went up 2-1 when Fritz Brenyl took a through ball, beat a cou-

Sun scorch Broncos in opener WARREN HENDERSON Black Press Sports
Jason Casey has no complaints about the end result in his team’s B.C. Football Conference regular season opener. The rookie head coach does, however, have some concerns about the Okanagan Sun’s overall lack of mental sharpness in Sunday’s 40-14 win over the hometown Kamloops Broncos. “I’m pleased with our effort, but we need to do a lot of mental work, there were mental mistakes and brain cramps, the guys need to educate themselves better about what’s happening out there,” said Casey. “What I saw a lot of was missed responsibilities, guys not in the right place at the right time. We were probably lucky to be playing a team that, on paper, was not as talented as us. I think if we had opened against Nanaimo and played like that, we get our butts kicked.” Despite a slow start on a windy night at Hillside Stadium, Casey said his club did get better as the game progressed and was firing much better on both sides of the ball
by the fourth quarter. Incumbent No. 1 quarterback Bobby Davis played the first half, spotted the Sun to a 13-7 lead, then switched over to the safety position for the second half. Newcomer Jeremy Joseph was impressive in relief, completing eight of 13 passes for 148 yards and two touchdowns. The former St. FX pivot also ran for 63 yards and a pair of majors. Casey said with Joseph and Davis possessing tremendous athletic ability, it was important to get both on the field. “It’s great to know that if J.J. does become a starter week to week, then we can use Bobby’s talents elsewhere. He’s a stud back there at safety, and whatever position he’s at, we want him on the field. Both those guys can be valuable at more than one position. It’s good to know we have two guys who can play quarterback equally well.” The Sun was given a productive day by a pair of rookie running backs. Alex Bradley had 64 yards on seven carries, while Mt. Boucherie grad Mikhail Maloff added 54 yards on 11 carries.
Ben White led the receiving corps with five catches for 127 yards and a touchdown, while fellow veteran Tommy Howes grabbed six balls for 78 yards and two scores. Defensively, Casey liked the effort of Brandon Donkers and, as usual, Steven Doege, who recorded a sack to move to within one of the all-time BCFC record. Vernon products shined for the Broncos with Brennan Plante catching a pair of touchdown passes, including a 39-yarder. Adam Nesbitt made four catches for 54 yards, including a 19-yarder, while Don Calvert had two catches for 20 yards. Fullback Dalton Anderson recorded six yards on two touches. The Sun host the Langley Rams Saturday night at the Apple Bowl. Casey said the biggest challenge for his club will be containing kick return specialist Nick Downey. In other opening weekend action, the defending B.C. champ Vancouver Island Raiders downed the Rams 39-13, while the Westshore (Victoria) Rebels rattled the Chilliwack Huskers 37-8.
The Stars enjoyed two or three glorious scoring chances in the opening half. IGA (16-0) closed out the scoring on a chip shot with three minutes remaining. The Pushor Mitchell Advocates of Kelowna and Kelowna Cantinas tied 1-1.

Morning Star Staff
The third annual Founder’s Cup Saturday at the Fred Couples Signature Course at The Rise is a bargain for $150. Featuring nearly $10,000 in prizes, players get a round of golf on a world-class track, brunch, dinner and a crested golf shirt just for entering. Shoot well in the two-person, bestball format and you will walk away with some attractive prizes. “We’re sitting at about 90 and our magic goal is 100,” said head pro Lee Ranger. “Anyone wanting to register can just call our pro shop (250-5457425).” The tournament is named after the 21 founding members who hail mainly from Vancouver and Alberta. Defending champions are Shane Bowring and Mark Aven. Players may also take advantage of a $49 practice round Friday. There are various flights with prizes for low
gross and net winners. Play begins Saturday wth a 1:30 shotgun start. Ranger, a 44-year-old Nanaimo product who has been at The Rise since it opened, is ecstatic with the track’s appearance. “The course is awesome,” he said. “The greens are fast and true. The course is lovely.” The Rise is named after Couples, who after a 10-year partnership with legendary golf course designer Gene Bates, put his name on the course. The course held their annual charity Ladies of the Okanagan tourney last Sunday featuring 52 players.

Pioneers shaped the country CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Dal Bracken’s new book, Raw Courage How Pioneer Homesteaders Changed the Rugged West into Canada’s Breadbasket of the World, recognizes the endurance of all the area’s inhabitants, from the earliest migrants from Asia to the Europeans who came seeking a better life in the 19th century. The very readable book, illustrated with historical photographs, is divided into sections which provide the background for his story — the last ice age which left the country as it was for the homesteaders, the First Nations people, the explorers, and how trading, the railway and the Northwest Mounted Police changed the way of life in what was to become Canada. Bracken’s focus is on the people who came to Canada from 1870 to 1930, mostly through the Homestead Act of 1872 which offered 160 acres of land for $10, and their lives through 1939. It includes his own memories of growing up in Southern Saskatchewan during the 1920s and ‘30s. “I wanted to do this because once my generation is gone,
S
there will be no link between the past and the future. Our parents and grandparents were homesteaders but no one will know what it was like for them,” said Bracken, 91. The book tells about what it was like for the settlers to establish a home and farm in a country where many did not speak their language, how they built houses, got crops planted, raised livestock, and educated and entertained themselves. There is a section on the strength and invaluable contributions of pioneer women. Bracken also writes about small towns, local characters, and the changes that came with the telephone, radio, automobile and mechanized farming equipment, then the Second World War. “People who have seen the book tell me that they are really impressed and that is a good way to learn history, better than they learned in school,” he said. “One fellow told me that he wished he had read it before visiting the Prairies because he would have got so much more out of it. “The pioneers were very strong people to leave what they knew and come to something they didn’t know anything

Take a break from lettuce
alads are a favourite in the summer when vegetables and fruits are fresh and plentiful. Today I have two recipes that offer a change from the same old, same old. The first is a TexMex favourite chicken taco salad with a creamy reduced-fat dressing which tames the fire of the chipotle peppers in the recipe. You can substitute the hot Cathi Litzenberger peppers for a milder pepper if you wish. The second recipe is a Middle Eastern salad that is crunchy and bursting with flavours. Warm Chicken Taco Salad Dressing: 1/2 cup sour cream 1/2 cup light mayonnaise 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro 2 tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice 1 -2 tsp. puréed canned chipotle pepper (or use fresh hot pepper) 1 tsp. ground cumin 2 cloves garlic, minced Salt Chicken: 1 tsp. paprika 1 tsp. packed brown sugar 1/2 tsp. salt Grated zest of 1 lime 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

$
Olive oil Salad: 6 cups torn romaine lettuce 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved 2 cups lightly crushed corn tortilla chips 1 English cucumber, chopped 1 bunch green onions, chopped (about 3/4 cup) 1 red bell pepper, chopped 1/2 can (12 oz) corn kernels, drained and rinsed Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients except the salt. Season to taste with salt. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or for up to 1 day to let flavours develop. Chicken: Preheat oven to 375 F or barbecue grill to medium-high. In a small bowl, combine paprika, brown sugar, salt and lime zest. Rub over both sides of chicken breasts. Brush chicken lightly with oil. If baking, place on a greased baking sheet. Bake or grill for about 15 minutes, turning once, until no longer pink inside. Remove from heat and keep warm. Salad: In a large bowl, combine lettuce, tomatoes, tortilla chips, cucumber, green onions, red pepper and corn. Add dressing and toss gently to coat. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and slice diagonally into thin strips. Arrange on top of salad. Serves 4. Variation: Add a peeled, sliced avocado or mango, or 2 cups drained, rinsed canned black beans. You could also use
grilled shrimp instead of the chicken. Fattoush Dressing: 4 tbsp. olive oil 1 tsp. grated lemon zest 4 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 tsp. salt Freshly ground pepper Salad: 2 pitas, opened 2 romaine lettuce hearts, chopped 3 large tomatoes, cut into large pieces 1 English cucumber, halved lengthwise and coarsely chopped 1 bunch radishes, trimmed and quartered (about 1-1/4 cups) 1 red bell pepper, chopped 1/2 large red onion, very thinly sliced 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley 2 tbsp. chopped fresh mint Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside. Salad: Preheat broiler. Broil pitas, turning once, for about 4 minutes or until crisp on both sides. Let cool and break into bitesize pieces. In a large salad bowl, combine romaine, tomatoes, cucumber, radishes, red pepper, red onion, parsley and mint. Add dressing and gently toss to coat. Sprinkle with pita pieces. Serves 6-8. Variation: Use a bunch of chopped green onions in place of red onion. You can also use fresh thyme or oregano in place of the fresh mint.

Love of animals inspires fundraiser Annual fundraiser helps give homeless animals a second chance KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
Laurie Johnson is a cat lady and proud of it. And she’s taking her passion for felines and once again organizing the annual fundraiser for the Vernon and District Animal Care Society (VDACS), taking place Aug. 20 at Hunter’s Store. When not working at the store, Johnson can be found every Friday afternoon at Crescent Falls Veterinary Hospital, where the society has a number of cats up for adoption. “It’s good for them to be around children of all ages, as it helps them become more adoptable,” she said. “There is no pressure to adopt, I want cats to go to homes where everyone in the home wants them. “I love cats, and I’m reminded of quote I once heard, ‘People who hate cats haven’t found the right cat yet.” People who neglect or dislike animals, cats in particular, don’t understand them. “Sometimes you have to say the same thing over and over again, but in different ways before they get that aha moment...aha, that’s why the cat does that.” Johnson said while she would like to see all homeless animals go to loving homes, she also wants to ensure that people are armed with knowledge and understanding before welcoming a pet into their home. “I know that not everyone loves or even likes cats. They say ‘they dig in my garden, they kill the birds in my yard,’ and so on. However it is not the cat’s fault. The cat is doing what come naturally to it, which I

I would like to explain in a way that they can understand.” The VDACS provides spay and neuter funding to low-income families as well as emergency vet care, and Johnson said there are still many misconceptions surrounding the need for altering a cat.
those same streets, and pass through your neighbours’ yard, and with some luck escape the owl or coyote that is in the area looking for its next meal.” Johnson said when people adopt that cute, playful female kitten, they may notice that at around six months, she has started to act a little oddly.
“People who neglect or dislike animals, cats in particular, don’t understand them.” — Laurie Johnson “I know there are some people who believe that by getting a male kitten, they don’t have to worry about future kittens, and therefore don’t feel they need to have their male kitten fixed. The problem with that is that when their kitten gets to be five or six months of age, he is at his sexual maturity and nature will set him on a journey to find a mate. “That journey will lead him through several of your neighbours’ yards, and across a couple of streets, and should he successfully navigate this, he will eventually find a female to mate with. On his way back he will cross
And not realizing that she is in heat, they send her outside in order to get a peaceful night’s sleep. “She also will go through your neighbours’ yards, killing their birds around the bird feeder. She meets up with the male, and two months later...surprise! “This may seem obvious to some people but, the point I am trying to get to is that spaying or neutering would have kept the male kitten closer to home, and the female would not have acted ‘really strange,’ thus producing an unwanted litter of kittens.” Johnson said this
is where the VDACS comes in. In the past 10 years, it has provided countless spays and neuters to cats and dogs of low-income owners. “But there is still a need to provide more pet owners with this service. It is and always will be a never-ending job, but it will reduce the suffering and neglect of many pets.” The VDACS’ annual fundraiser at Hunter’s Store takes place Aug. 20, which is International Homeless Animal Day. It’s a day set aside on the third Saturday of August to raise awareness of the suffering and abuse of homeless animals. “As a board member for VDACS and an employee of Hunter’s Store I am able to help organize a fun fundraiser for VDACS,” said Johnson. “And thanks to the owners of Hunter’s who have donated or arranged for donations for this event, I am hoping it will be a successful fundraiser.” The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Hunter’s, 4600 Pleasant Valley Rd., and will include a barbecue and sale of ice cream cones, with the store donating $1 from every cone sold to the fundraiser. The fun will also include the popular pet photo contest. Bring your favourite photo-
graph of your pet(s) to the store between Aug. 15 and 20, before 10 a.m. Be sure to write your name and phone number as well as your pet’s name, on the back of the photo. Entry fee is by donation. This is a people’s choice award, so bring your family and friends and cast your vote. The winner will be featured in the society’s 2010 calendar. “This event will showcase the pet owners who really love their pets and want the best for them,” said Johnson. “It is really uplifting to see how much people love their pets. “Mostly VDACS’ focus is on helping animals, or helping their owners help their animals, and sometimes that can become a little overwhelming — this event proves it is all
worth it.” For more information, see the VDACS website at www.ver-
