Compassion and generosity have helped ease some of the pain of a rural Lumby tragedy. The body of Gregg Fisher, 69, was recovered from the Shuswap River, near the dam on Mabel Lake Road, July 31. His truck had left the road June 14. “The waiting was so frustrating,” said sisterin-law Sylvia Fisher, from Surrey. Gregg Fisher Recovery was on hold until the water level came down on the fastmoving river. “They (searchers) tried every week, sometimes twice a week but there was a concern if they put a diver down with the current. We didn’t want any more tragedies happening,” said Sylvia. The recovery effort included the RCMP, Vernon Search and Rescue, the Lumby Fire Department, B.C. Hydro, a crane operator
and a tow truck driver. “Our family can’t praise everyone enough,” said Sylvia. “Everyone just came together.” Richard Fisher, Gregg’s brother, was impressed with the RCMP and specifically Cpl. Henry Proce, Const. Dan Cocks and Const. Rob Morozoff. “They phoned us and kept us up to date on the process,” said Richard. Also reaching out to the family have been Gregg Fisher’s neighbours and residents of Lumby, where he was known for his artwork. “We were touched with the warmth of total strangers,” said Sylvia. Helping keep them informed about river conditions was Larry MacGregor, who met Gregg in 1966 and lived next door. “He was like a brother to Gregg,” said Richard. “Everyone has been so nice to us.” The family is also pushing to have the Ministry of Transportation install a barrier to prevent vehicles from leaving the road and going into the river. “We don’t want this to happen again,” said Sylvia.

It was a slow long weekend for excessive speed in the North Okanagan. And Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP traffic officers are just fine with that. Coming off a previous weekend where officers impounded six vehicles on Highway 97 north and south of Vernon because they were between 48 and 83 kilometres an hour over the posted speed limit, officers on the long weekend didn’t come close to matching those totals. “They are happy to report that they only had to issue one excessive speeding impound this weekend,” said Gord Molendyk, spokesperson for the Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP. Officers, however, were kept busy as they issued 42 speeding tickets on the long weekend. They also handed out one 12-hour sus-

pension for alcohol to a driver with a Class 7 novice (N) licence, and one vehicle was impounded because the person behind the wheel was not licensed to drive. Statistics for the past week in the VernonNorth Okanagan detachment area show there was one 12-hour prohibition for alcohol; one 24-hour prohibition for drugs; three, threeday Immediate Roadside Prohibitions (IRPS) were issued along with five 90-day IRPs; there were no impaired driving arrests and seven vehicles were impounded.

Highway 6 fatality investigated ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A Nakusp woman has been identified as the victim of a single-vehicle rollover accident on Highway 6 Sunday morning. The accident happened at about 9 a.m., 41 kilometres east of Lumby near Angel Falls. Two women in an SUV were heading
toward Nakusp when the vehicle went into a ditch and rolled. The 52-year-old driver was killed while a 15-year-old girl, believed to be the woman’s daughter, was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. “Speed appears to be a factor in this accident,” said Vernon-North Okanagan
RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. Asked if both women were wearing seatbelts, Molendyk said yes, but he added that the preliminary investigation indicates the driver may have been wearing the seatbelt incorrectly. No names have been released. The RCMP and B.C. Coroners Service continue to investigate the accident.
Blaze destroys Spall residence RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
More details are known about a fire that destroyed two structures in Spallumcheen. Firefighters were called to the 1200 block of Otter Lake Cross Road Aug. 1 at about 7:23 p.m. “The initial structure was gone before we got there,” said Ian Cummings, ArmstrongSpallumcheen fire chief. The blaze also consumed a detached shop and caused some damage to an adjacent home. “It was something with the heat,” said Cummings. Investigators sifted through the debris on the weekend. “The probable cause is electrical,” said Cummings. “We have contacted the RCMP and this is now their case.”

Motor vehicle accident sends two to hospital Morning Star Staff
Police are investigating after a multiple vehicle crash in Lake Country sent two men to hospital Monday night. Lake Country RCMP were called at 10:15 p.m. to a report of a two-vehicle crash on Highway 97 near Beaver Lake Road. Witnesses told police a white Cadillac was seen travelling northbound on the highway at a high rate of speed just before the crash.
“The Cadillac lost control on a curve.” — Kris Clark
“The Cadillac lost control on a curve and crossed into the oncoming lanes where it impacted a Chevrolet Silverado hauling a trailer,” said RCMP spokesperson
VERNON’s FAVOURITE REPAIR GUY. BC’s FAVOURITE SHOP.
Const. Kris Clark. The two occupants of the Cadillac were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries with the passenger apparently suffering more serious
injuries than the driver. An RCMP collision reconstructionist conducted a detailed scene analysis of the crash to determine the causal factors. That assessment is not yet complete but speed is believed to be a contributing factor in the crash while alcohol has been ruled out. A 24-year-old Alberta man could face potential dangerous driving charges pending further investigation.

Community foundation remains active Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
What started as a $1,000 donation 39 years ago has flourished to $14 million in assets dedicated to building a better quality of life in our community. The Community Foundation of North Okanagan, originally known as the Vernon Benevolent Society, was created in 1975 when a number of members of the Vernon Rotary Club got together to discuss the need for a charitable society which focused on the needs of the community. That first donation was the seed of the foundation, which has bloomed into a place for citizens to give back to their community, both during and after their own lifetime. “We’re the best kept secret in town,” said Herb Wong, foundation secretary. “Most people don’t know who we are, they don’t know we are here.” Operating under the Community Foundation of Canada umbrella, the local
cFNO phOtO
Gail Hamilton (left) and Kathleen Lainsbury (right), with the Community Foundation of North Okanagan, present funds to Jane and Indigo Freeman, with the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra youth group. group is part of 191 community foundations. Each of them, including the North Okanagan’s, invests pooled funds which allow for continued giving. “We try to earn six per cent a year,” said Wong. “We usually do a little bit better than that.” Leanne Hammond, fund development officer, explains: “If you
give it away, it’s gone very quickly.” But by making a donation through the foundation, it is supporting an ever growing pool of funds “without having to replenish it.” Hammond adds: “There’s no gift too small.” There are also different levels of giving — individual, memorial or business. Those funds have
been used for a variety of local charities and projects: Kingfisher Interpretive Centre, the NONA Treehouse Project, re-enforcing the foundation for the Vernon Community Music School and installation of an elevator in the curling club, just to name a few. The foundation recently delivered nearly $90,000 to 21 groups at its annual grant cer-
emony. “One of the grants we gave out was the third time we supported the Dental Access Centre,” said Hammond. The support is delivered to various groups, causes and agencies throughout the greater North Okanagan community. That is where the petals of the foundation emblem come into play – they represent the six different communities in our area: Coldstream, Lumby, Armstrong, Spallumcheen, Enderby and Vernon. One area of giving the foundation would like to see greater growth in is the smart and caring fund. This discretionary fund puts the donations where they are needed most at the time. As an example, someone may be partial to a larger charity simply because they’ve seen advertisements and fundraisers for it, but their dollars could be more desperately needed by a smaller organization. “What about all of
Cyclist receives ticket after collision roger knox Morning Star Staff
A Vernon cyclist escaped without injury – but not without a ticket – after being struck by a car Monday. Shortly before 9 p.m., Vernon RCMP officers responded to a report of a collision between an Acura Integra, driven by a 40-year-old Vernon resident, and a cyclist, identifed by police as a 29-year-old Vernon man.
“The Acura was travelling west on 30th Avenue and making a right-hand turn onto Alexis Park Drive,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “The cyclist was also travelling west on 30th.” A witness told police that the cyclist had been riding extremely fast without lights at dusk, and that he appeared to be watching the opposite traffic light turn yellow, then red, and sped up to get
through the light as it turned green. “The witness said there was no way the driver of the car could have seen the bike approaching,” said Molendyk. “It appeared the cyclist was maneuvering his bike to get in front of the car.” The front tire of the bike was damaged and the cyclist was not injured. He did, however, receive a violation ticket for failing to wear a helmet and riding his bicycle after dark without lights.

A smoke screen?
s a reporter and as a taxpayer, I fundamentally believe in transparency. Forcing elected officials to detail their salaries and, more importantly, their expenses, is a partial indication of the importance they place on conducting the people’s business. Obviously some are frugal while others, unfortunately, see the public purse as an extension of their own personal bank account. Like mayors, city councillors, MLAs and MPs, First Nations chiefs and band councillors should disclose their financial compensation. After all, it is the public’s money and the public has a right to know how it is being used. As we have seen with Richard Rolke other political institutions, First Nations remuneration is open to abuse by some individuals, and questions may arise about the level of pay compared to the actual size of the band population. “First Nations, like all Canadians, deserve transparency and accountability from their elected officials,” Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt told the CBC. “With increased access to basic financial information, community members can make more informed decisions about the financial management and reporting of their elected officials.” On the surface, all of those comments sound completely fair. But some may be left wondering why Ottawa has this sudden interest in opening up the books. Consider that at the same time that chiefs ands councils are conforming to the First Nations Financial Transparency Act, there is a very real crisis on reserves across the country. A recent article in Maclean’s indicates that half of First Nations children in Canada are impacted by poverty, and that jumps to 64 per in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The article also goes on to say that nine out of the 10 most violent communities in the country are native as are 92 of Canada’s 100
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
poorest communities. “Compared to non-native Canadians, aboriginal youth are seven times more likely to be victims of homicide, five times more likely to commit suicide and twice as likely to die an alcohol-related death,” writes Maclean’s reporter Tamsin McMahon. “The infant mortality rate is double the Canadian average, and native children are at higher risk of a wide array of serious health problems, from cavities in toddlers to substance abuse, HIV infections, tuberculosis and chlamydia. Aboriginal girls are at greater risk of sexual assault, domestic violence and teenage pregnancies.” And the statistics go on and on, and the situation is only expected to get worse as the youngest and fastest-growing segment of Canada’s population is First Nations. Yes, band chiefs and councils play a role in conditions on their reserves, even if it’s simply taking a very public stand against abuse. However, the reality is that Valcourt’s department controls the purse strings and that means that First Nations communities have little meaningful access to financial resources to address major issues such as housing and education. While some reserves are located in areas conducive to development, others are not. Economic opportunities are limited, and the lack of agreements over title and rights adds to the uncertainty. As was expected, the media jumped all over the financial disclosure statements and identified a handful of chiefs whose spending habits are suspect. But consider that they are no more representative of the majority of native leaders in Canada than a mayor who hands in false restaurant receipts is indicative of the bulk of municipal officials. A couple of rotten apples doesn’t mean the whole barrel is in trouble. In the end, it’s difficult to know what the federal government is trying to achieve with the First Nations Financial Transparency Act. Is the goal to ensure increased public scrutiny of public dollars or to divert attention away from Ottawa’s own handling of aboriginal affairs?
The provincial government’s offer to pay families of schoolaged children $40 a day if the current contract impasse with teachers carries into the fall is just another example of the deep-seated enmity between the two sides that stands between a settlement. On the surface it seems like a good deal; roll the money the government isn’t paying teachers if they’re on strike straight over to parents to ease their financial burden of making alternate arrangements for minding their kids. But it’s also another shot across the bow of the teachers, a cynical jab that equates their duties with little more than institutional daycare. Finance Minister Mike de Jong’s announcement of the program was short on details. He said families of the province’s 300,000 children up to age 12 who attend public schools would have to register for the compensation. He didn’t say where those 300,000 children could go if they still can’t attend school come September. As anyone who has ever tried to find daycare knows, 300,000 spots aren’t going to be created in five weeks. Nor will $40 go very far to compensate a parent who has to stay home from work to mind their child. And while de Jong boasted the program would have no net cost to the government, what about the cost of implementing it? A bureaucracy created in five weeks to design the registration system, vet applicants and dole out the money won’t come cheaply. Educating our children is worth more than $40 a day. Those children deserve better than to be treated as ammunition in this senseless trench war between adults who should know better. — Burnaby News Leader

Vernon serves up poor air quality
n your article, “Patio drinks approved” (July 18), we learned that Vernon city council has approved the serving of alcohol to diners who choose to eat on Vernon sidewalks. One assumes council and business owners believe that this will encourage more people to eat outdoors downtown. In the article, the city’s communications co-ordinator, Tanya Laing Gahr, is reported as saying “.... patrons get to benefit from sitting outdoors to take full advantage of the region’s climate.” I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when I read that. Is Ms. Laing Gahr not aware that, for many years, Vernon has, “enjoyed” the poorest air quality in B.C.? Has she not read the recent OECD Report on air pollution which states: "Outdoor air pollution kills more than 3.5 million people a year globally, far more than was previously estimated. Air pollution has now become the biggest environmental cause of premature death, overtaking poor
pellet plant I am writing in response to the article in The Morning Star by Jennifer Smith entitled “Residents gain a second say on plant," relating to the proposed pellet plant in Lavington. I have spoken with many Lavington residents who do not feel the article was representative of the views of much of the community. The article indicated that the train traffic and noise is a primary concern for residents. That is simply not the case for the residents I’ve spoken with. The primary and overwhelming concern relating to the plant proposed to be built by Pinnacle Renewable Energy, about 150 metres from Lavington Elementary School and the community park, is the projected level of particulate matter emissions at the school. The air quality dispersion modelling study conducted by the engineering firm RWDI and commissioned by Pinnacle states the projected annual PM 2.5 concentration at Lavington Elementary of 8.1 ug/m3 exceeds the ministry’s annual PM2.5 target of eight ug/m3. The ministry’s own fact sheet on wood pellet manufacturing facilities states that, “PM 2.5 is known to cause aggravation of respiratory and cardiovascular disease, reduced lung function, increased respiratory symptoms and premature death.”
sanitation and a lack of clean drinking water. In most OECD countries, the death toll from heart and lung diseases caused by air pollution is much higher than the one
An article published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on PM 2.5 states the following: “Particulate matter is the term used for a mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets found in the air. PM 2.5 refers to particulate matter that is 2.5 micrometers or smaller in size. 2.5 micrometers is approximately 1/30 the size of a human hair; so small that several thousand of them could fit on the period at the end of this sentence. The sources of PM 2.5 include fuel combustion from automobiles, power plants, wood burning, industrial processes, and diesel powered vehicles such as buses and trucks. Fine particles are of concern because they are risk to both human health and the environment. Because these particles are so small they are able to penetrate to the deepest parts of the lungs. Scientific studies have suggested links between fine particulate matter and numerous health problems including asthma, bronchitis, acute and chronic respiratory symptoms such as shortness of breath and painful breathing, and premature deaths. Children are more susceptible to the health risks of PM 2.5 because their immune and respiratory systems are still developing. The average adult breathes 13,000 liters of air per day and children breathe up to 50 percent more air per pound of body weight than adults. The breathing of fine particles by children is believed to cause both
acute and chronic respiratory problems such as asthma.” I strongly believe that the majority of our residents support new business and industry in our area. However, a relatively small number of jobs (15 to 20 full-time jobs) cannot come at the risk of the many children in our community who attend Lavington Elementary. It is the health of our children that is our paramount concern. Kym lorentz nimby Just a note to the residents of "Nimbyton," remember all of the hand-wringing that went on when the glass plant closed down? Remember how you all were wondering, "Whatever will we do for jobs?" Finally, years later, a decent, well-paying job is about to present itself to the people that don't want to leave, don't want to take a hit on selling their houses and want to be close to friends and family. Hold on, we don't want this job, don't want to have a pension, just because someone claims there could be (not that there will be) a hint of pollution encroaching on Lavington school. So, if you get your wish and this plant goes elsewhere, how many people with kids will be left to populate the school if everyone moves to a better job somewhere
from traffic accidents." If members of council are aware of the OECD report, how can they support the licensing of more outdoor eating/drinking areas? Would the mayor, an experienced physician, eat a meal and drink a glass of wine while seated one metre from a pickup truck’s exhaust pipe, exposed to its fumes as it drives off? I think not. City council has within its power the means to banish from downtown dining, the biggest environmental cause of premature death. Yet it issues more licenses to expose residents to the same. As I write I look out upon the smoke from several fires that is casting a thick haze over our city - one more aspect of the region’s climate. Instead of issuing further licenses, council should ban all outdoor meal service on city streets. For the sake of our population’s lungs I urge them to do so. What is it going to take for them to do the right thing? Jo Jones
else? Think the school board would get sentimental about keeping that school open? Has anyone actually gone to a plant similar to what is proposed, just witness no pollution. Of course not. It's easier to spread innuendo until the someone gets their way without thinking what the economy will mean to them in the future. bob Johnston disappointed In response to the article, "Village defends itself in crop damage complaint." I had received no communication from the village council prior to reading the article in The Morning Star. I feel that this is a very poor way of doing things. The article fails to mention the fact that I took pictures, plainly showing where my alfalfa ended and the dead area of my field, by the pump house, where the water had flowed in. The village states that the water went into the sewer. However, it is not connected to the sewer plant, but a pipe which flows into a ditch. If all of that water would have gone into our outdated sewer pond, it would have overflowed
into the village. The problem now is, how to get rid of the mustard seed weeds which moved into where the alfalfa was? I am disappointed in the way it was handled by the village. solange Harrison

The Boom Booms, a Vancouver funk sextet, returns to perform at Oyama’s Gatzke Orchards Sunday, with special guest Chin Injeti. Boom Boom performed at the Oyama location last year.
Boom Booms bounce back to Oyama Vancouver’s indie-soul favourites to be joined by famed producer and Bass is Base alum Chin Injeti KRISTI PATTON Black Press
Just as the band’s name suggests, the Boom Booms are set to explode with their latest album. “We brought these new sounds and it is deeper, bassier and sexier. It is nice,” said lead vocalist Aaron Ross, who with the band is about to return to perform at Gatkze Orchards in Oyama Sunday. The six-piece Canadian indie-soul band based in Vancouver are putting the finishing touches on their sophomore album, Love Is Overdue. They have some heavy-hitters in the business on the production credits including Grammy-Award winner Chin Injeti (who has produced albums for Vernon’s own SonReal along with Drake, Eminem, and Pink) and L.A.-based producer DJ Khalil (Eminem, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent). “If you listen to our first album and EP, we had a mix of Caribbean influence, Latin influence, a very West Coast sound. This album we haven’t been travelling around as much but it is basically an R&B album. It is a matter of what we were feeling and we
wanted to hone into one thing and not spread ourselves into too many sounds,” said Ross. One of the tracks, Real Love, is a single they released last summer and helped develop the overall feeling of their new, focused sound. Ross co-wrote some of the songs with Injeti for Love Is Overdue. “That is the title of one of the songs on the album. We thought Love Is Overdue is so right because the album was overdue for us,” said Ross. “It is your typical R&B things and I also wrote a song If My City Was A Rich Girl that talks about gentrification in East Vancouver. It mostly stays in that funk-soul genre.” The band consists of childhood friends and has taken them on international tours influencing the music scene in countries such as Brazil, Spain, Canada and the U.S. Each of the members share an appreciation for artists like Bill Withers and Damian Marley, causing their music to be drenched in rich, roots soul. Ross had success with his debut album in 2008, Butterfly Man, with the party anthem When the Night. It reached No. 6 on the Much More Music chart and was featured in an episode of the teen drama series 90210. Delivered, a ballad on the album, earned the award for Best Roots Song at the Just Plain Folks Music Awards in Nashville, TN. But it was the band’s first album ¡Hot Rum! that earned the Boom Booms a spot in Vancouver’s PEAK Performance Project. The second place win of $75,000 opened new opportunities for them. “We decided that we wanted to not just use music as a means to travel the world, but
to make a career for it and that is when we applied. It was the perfect jump start to get things going,” said Ross. The Boom Booms produced and released their travel documentary, Boom Boom Brazil, with the help of prize money. It followed the band on unpredictable adventures as they toured Brazil and were immersed in native traditions and customs. It also raised awareness of the Belo Monte Dam’s impact with candid discussions with locals and stunning videography. It caused the production crew some trouble because they didn’t have official documentation to film and were asking questions about the construction of the controversial dam. Then the director caught malaria and another member of the production team was robbed and stabbed in the arm. Still, the idea of exposing social issues and the cultural impact music has on its people keeps the Boom Booms wanting to pursue the concept more. “We’ve loved the idea of doing a travel music show and to pitch it to a television network, and we still do. We would like to do Haiti, Cuba, the Congo and learn about the music and also report on important social issues going on in that country,” said Ross. Since the documentary, the Boom Booms have only been rocketing upwards. Last year they were featured on Aloe Blacc’s smash single, The Man. The platinum selling song became the feature track for the Beats by Dre commercial starring Kevin Garnett of the National Basketball Association. This year, they have been invited to
the Pemberton, Squamish, Invermere and Boonstock music festivals and will play the PNE in Vancouver among a number of other gigs on their summer tour. They haven’t forgotten their roots in Vancouver though. They started a small block party in 2008 with a bare bones stage and barbecue to raise funds for the community they grew up in. Last year they raised around $14,000 for non-profit group The Music Tree and the annual event has evolved into the East Van Summer Jam featuring a number of bands. “We grew up in East Vancouver and this community is changing so fast, we just wanted to get money and be ambassadors in our own way. We want to make money to give back to the community,” said Ross. “It is all about supporting grassroots projects that involve youth. We also work with communities in Nairobi, Uganda and Brazil too.” About to return to Oyama after performing one of the most popular concerts ever at Gatzke Orchards last summer, the Boom Booms are bringing special guest and producer of their new album, Chin Injeti. One of the founding members of Bass Is Base, Injeti is currently a member of the New Royales and is promoting his new album, The Reverb, coming out in the fall. “I can’t wait for some peace and tranquility on the orchard by the lakes and to be inspired in Oyama, but be prepared as I’ll be bringing down some funk,” said Injeti. Tickets for the Sunday show are available online at www.gatzkeorchard.com as well as at the fruit stand in Oyama.

East Vancouver band Roots Roundup has reunited and is making its way to the North Okanagan this week, including a show at Lorenzo’s Café Friday.
Band goes back to its roots Morning Star Staff
It’s been a few years, but the East Vancouver band known as Roots Roundup is back on the bill playing their high-energy hybrid of globe spanning music. The band , which is making its way to Ashton Creek’s Lorenzo’s Café Friday, mashes up the sounds of rock ’n roll, reggae, ska, Afro-beat, folk, funk and punk. Originally formed in 1985 in a small apartment in East Van, Roots Roundup became widely known throughout Canada during the late ‘80s and early ‘90s as one of Canada’s hardest working, hardest touring and hardest rockin’ world beat dance bands. They toured Canada and the western U.S. extensively and released numerous independent recordings including two self-titled cassettes, as well as Get Rooted, What We Do, Syzygy and in 1997, Rootrospective, a 16-song collection spanning their entire recording career. Disbanding in 1993, the members of Roots Roundup all continued performing, recording and touring in many different bands and musical projects. Reuniting every once in
a while over the years to perform a few shows here and there, core Roots Roundup members Greg Hathaway, Dave Hannah (Dym-E-Tree), Barry Taylor, Keith Rose, David Hathaway, Mark Campbell, Ford Pier and David Macanulty recently reunited in February of this year and have performed well received shows in Roberts Creek, Vancouver, Victoria, Cumberland, Cortes Island, Denman Island and Saltspring Island. As these recent shows were taking place, Roots Roundup has been contacted by numerous festivals and promoters offering further opportunities to perform. And so the original “roots-rock-folk-funk-reggae-skadance-party” continues to roll into the 21st century with on-going plans for more music and more shows. Roots Roundup take the stage at Lorenzo’s Café, 901 Mabel Lake Rd., Ashton Creek, east of Enderby, Friday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. and cover is $10. Call 250-838-6700 to reserve a seat. The band is also taking part in the Routes and Blues outreach project (see page A11) and will perform at Don Fink Memorial Park in Seymour Arm Saturday at 7 p.m.

It’s time to go crazy for corn
Dr. Chris Schenk
Morning Star Staff
The harvest is in full swing and Davison Orchards is celebrating with a weekend that is all about corn. “We have a great crop of sweet corn and want to invite the public to our farm to take advantage of the abundance,” said Kevin Shaw, produce manager and farmer at Davison Orchards in Vernon. On Saturday at 10 a.m., the Davison girls will be demonstrating how to make salsa, how to prepare corn for the freezer, and some tricks of the trade for eating and preparing corn on the cob. Davison Orchards is celebrating corn season by offering great discounts on corn accessories and gadgets in their market. The Deep Dish Café will be featuring a tomato bacon sandwich with corn on the cob as a side and also selling hot buttered corn fresh from the field. “It doesn’t get any fresher than that,” said Shaw. “And the fun continues on Sunday with a corneating contest at 1 p.m. “Kids and adults will race to see who can eat a cob of corn the fastest. The winner will receive some great prizes made and grown right here at our farm.” As well, Davison Orchards will be running orchard tours, which give their visitors an opportunity to learn about farming in the Okanagan while also seeing where and how their food is grown. The tours run every day from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Davison Orchards is at 3111 Davison Rd., off Bella Vista Road. For more information, please call 250-549-3266 or see www.davisonorchards.ca

It’s all about anise
would like to start this gardening column by apologizing about the omission of the author’s credit about garlic in my last column. I was reminded by a reader that I was committing plagiarism by copying from the internet. This was not the intention as I usually remind readers when I get my inforJocelyne Sewell mation from books or the internet. Most of the time, the same information and the same words are used from one web site to the next. I take the ones that have more credibility and are expressed in better words than I could write myself. Harvesting Garlic was written by Marie Iannotti. I had checked several sites and this one had all the information from other sites. From references on Wikipedia, garlic has been used for more than 7,000 years and is native to central Asia. I am sure that a few articles have been written using the same information. For today, I am taking the article about anise hyssop also from the inter-
A GArdener’s diAry
net, from herbs2000.com. I have been growing this plant in my garden for a few years now. At the moment, most of my plants are blooming and the bees are having a feast. The plants reseed easily but can be pulled out if not wanted, and added to the compost. The ideal growing conditions for anise hyssop include a properly drained, fertile soil that comprises properly decomposed manure and compost. While growing in its natural environments, this herb thrives well in soils that can retain moisture, but are not damp or drenched. This herb has a preference for total sunlight, but it is also able to endure partial shade. It is essential to keep the plants moist during the arid weather, or else they will not bear flowers in the later part of summer. Anise hyssop (botanical name Agastache foeniculum) belongs to the mint family. It is very often grown as a garden plant, where this herb makes an extremely beautiful backdrop plant. Anise hyssop produces sharp, vivid green leaves that are notched at the edges. During the spring, new undergrowths usually have an attractive purple-hued radiation. The aroma as well as the essence of the foliage has a fascinating blend of mint and anise.
The herb produces elongated flower spikes composed on several attractive small lilac-blue flowers during the period between July and September. Honey bees are very much attracted by anise hyssop and it is extensively cultivated in the form of a honey herb. In addition, the flowers of anise hyssop are also an excellent source of nectar for butterflies. On the other hand, wild birds, particularly finches, find the seeds of the plant attractive. The flowers as well as the leaves of anise hyssop are both edible. In folk herbal medicine, anise hyssop tea has been employed to facilitate the digestive process. The leaves and flowers have excellent taste when they are consumed raw and possess a sweet aniseed flavour. The leaves and flowers of this herb actually make a delectable addition to the salad bowl and may also be employed to add essence to cooked foods, particularly acid fruits. The sole problem with anise hyssop leaves is that they are prone to having a drying impact in the mouth and, therefore, it is not possible to consume them in large quantities. The leaves are used to prepare a pleasurable tasting and refreshing tea. We add a few leaves to our green tea. For more information: 250-558-4558.

Exploring the art of wildcrafting Morning Star Staff
Have you ever heard of wildcrafting? How about geotourism? Learn about this and more at Allan Brooks Nature Centre (ABNC) with Don Elzer, Aug. 13 starting at 7 p.m. for a Sunset Don Elzer Speaker Series talk. “Don will share his views about the landscape, the importance of storytelling and the future of the Okanagan Valley,” said Janice Buick, event and volunteer coordinator at the ABNC. Based in the Monashees, Elzer has spent much of his life developing concepts that link deep ecology to mainstream culture and then putting them into practice. “He is best known for his work in alternative media and investigative research, as well as his early promo-
tion of permaculture in the 1980s,” said Buick. “Don is also known as one of the first modern wildcrafters, creating a variety of products including a style of visual art made from natural found material; and eventually Wildcraft Forest Tea blends. “This is a very popular event and is held every Wednesday until the end of August under the covered picnic area. Come early to get the best seats, parking is available on site.” Admission to the Sunset Speaker Series is by donation. The Allan Brooks Nature Centre is located south on Commonage Road just past the Army camp. For more information, see the Web site at www. abnc.ca, like the ABNC on Facebook or call 250-260-4227. The Allan Brooks Nature Centre is supported by its members, volunteers, donors, sponsors, partners, granting agencies and admission fees and relies on community resources for its success in nature interpretation, habitat conservation and nature-based events.

the Family History Society. “The lunch and tea will both be hosted at the museum.” Myers will touch on the famous, the infamous, the unfortunate, the rich and the poor during the tour. “Local political figures, the Okanagan Hotel Fire victims and the Internment Camp detainees are among the dozen or so I’ll be talking about during the approximately two-hour walking tour,” said Myers. More information about the
characters mentioned will be on display at the museum during the lunch and tea. Tickets are $20 per person with a limit of 20 participants per tour. To avoid disappointment you’re strongly encouraged to purchase tickets early. Tickets are only available at the museum and will not be available on the event date.

YA author visits Vernon on book tour Morning Star Staff
Lower Mainland author Laura Michelle Thomas will be bringing her first Okanagan book tour to Coles Books on Saturday. Thomas will be meeting with young writers and promoting her book, Polly Wants to Be a Writer: The Junior Authors Guide
to Writing and Getting Published. Aimed at showing aspiring young writers how to break into print, the hybrid novel and writing guide stars Polly, a 15-year-old wannabe writer who comes faceto-face with her inner dragon, a truculent, impatient creature who is a talented but fright-
ful critic of her writing. With the help of Patience Whitford, a character inspired by Thomas’ personal experience as a writing mentor, Polly struggles to finish a short story as she gets herself entangled in a scheme that threatens the future of every writer on the planet.

Vader pursues Lake Country seat barry gerding Morning Star Staff
Matt Vader wants to take a second crack at representing Carr’s Landing on Lake County council in the November municipal election. Vader ran for the Carr’s Landing ward in the last election, losing out to Barbara Leamont. Matt Vader “The last election was my first time running for public office, and since then I’ve continued to be involved in the economic and planning development of Lake Country,’ he said. Vader works for the Canada Revenue Agency in its Kelowna office, and was an inaugural member of Lake Country’s economic planning and development committee. “My role on that committee is to collaboratively provide advice and
support to the district for its economic development initiatives. I believe these initiatives are important to the sustainability of Lake Country as its own community and not just a bedroom community for Kelowna and Vernon.” For a community with a population of 12,000, he says promoting the retail and service sector will be key to alleviate the bedroom community identity. Lake Country “is a viable (size) to grow the business community. With the right zoning, the right availability of land and appropriate timeless for the district to approve new business opportunities, that bedroom community stigma can start to change.” Vader points to more interest in development on Main Street as a sign that the business opportunity Lake Country offers will be realized. Vader sees the issues for his area being road upgrades and maintenance and improving water quality. “If the water quality is bad, that is a huge factor on the value of property,” he said.
Truck strikes power pole Morning Star Staff
A single-vehicle accident on Kal Lake Road Sunday morning resulted in a damaged power pole and a hefty fine for the driver. Members of the Vernon RCMP detachment responded to a report of a vehicle hitting a power pole on Kalamalka Lake Road, near Browne Road, shortly before 9 a.m. “A black Ford Ranger had gone
off the road on the right-hand side and struck a Hydro pole,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. B.C. Hydro crews attended and replaced the heavily damaged power pole. The driver of the truck, a Vernon man, was issued a ticket for driving without due care and attention which comes with a $368 fine.

Tigers savour B.C. silver medal TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
The Delta Islanders scored eight unanswered goals in the second period to capture their first B.C. Junior B Lacrosse championship. The Islanders doubled the Vernon Source for Sports Tigers 14-7 in the gold medal final before 500 fans Monday afternoon at Kal Tire Place. “It feels so great. We put lots of work into this team and now there is no doubt that we are the best team in the province,” said Islanders’ coach Dave Haller. “Our guys played phenomenal this weekend. I’m super proud of our guys.” The Islanders downed the Tigers 15-7 earlier in round-robin play. The Tigers led 4-3 after the first frame before the train came off the tracks in the second. “I could tell our guys were a little nervous in the first. They were playing not to lose instead of trying to win. But we got back to how we normally play, came out in the second and got our mojo back,” said Haller. The Tigers feel like they played a strong game but got slighted in the second. “I thought we won two out of three periods today,” said Tigers’ coach Myles Brumpton. “I thought the referees were the difference in the second. The penalties were six to one against us in the period. They dictated the game too much.” Later, after cooling down from an emotional game, Brumpton was more congenial. “I would like to congratulate Delta. They are a good team and a formidable opponent,” said Brumpton. Tournament MVP Ray Calderwood led the second-period surge with a pair of snipes. “This is a great way to end my junior career. In the past I’ve won silver and bronze, so this is perfect,” said Calderwood, who finished with 11 goals and 18 points. Calderwood finished third in the West Coast Junior Lacrosse League scoring with 23 goals and 67 points. Sam Clare supplied five goals and Jordan Thauli pulled a hat trick for Delta, while singles came from Brandon Moroz, Dallas Chriptyk, Tyler Wickett and Stephen Alexander. The six-foot-one, 205 pound Clare attends Simon Fraser University where he bunks with Tigers d-man Bayne Bosquet.

Liam Macphee and Braden Barr split the unsung hero award and the team shared the MVP award with Hanna and Darrell Landels. Hanna also Islanders and Tigers cracking the roster. Aaron Jensen was named top goaltender and joined his teammate, Tigers’ captain collected the coaches choice award. “I’m very proud of what this team accomplished. Gold would have been nice, but Brett Hanna, on the all-star squad. Clare and Islanders’ captain Calderwood were named silver is still a great accomplishment,” said Brumpton. “The boys deserved it.” to the team along with Derek McLeod of the Saanich Tigers and Kyle Pauwels of the Earlier in the day, the Venom clipped the Saanich Tigers 15-14 in overtime.

The North Enderby Timber ambushed the short-manned Peters Tirecraft 11-1 in North Okanagan Soccer League Gibson Cup playoff action at MacDonald park.

Vest ends Worlds in rain Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Ryan Vest carded a final-round 44 Saturday to finish in a six-way tie for 72nd place in the 8 and Under division at the U.S. Kids World Golf Championships in Pinehurst, N.C. Vest, who had his dad, Jeff, carrying his bag, finished at 42-46-44-132 in the field of 141 at the Mid Pines Inn and Golf Club. “It was a good experience,” said Jeff. “He was nervous on the first tee and then settled down. I’ve never seen it rain so hard. The poor little guys had to play in that rain for eight holes (Friday) and it also rained Saturday.” Ryan had one triple-bogey in each round. He qualified by gaining Orange Status in the Desert Shootout at The Wigwam Golf Course in Phoenix in March. Jay Leng Jr. of Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. won the title at -7 under 34-34-33-101. Sihan Sandhu of Ashburn, Va. and William Tu of Vancouver were eight strokes back.
The mission of U.S. Kids Golf is to help kids have fun learning the lifelong game and to encourage family interaction that builds lasting memories. Vest, who is entering Grade 3 in the Montessori program at Silver Star Elementary, is scheduled to play in a PGA sponsored tournament in Florida this October. Meanwhile, the sixth annual Founder’s Cup goes Saturday at The Rise with a 1:30 p.m. shotgun start. The tourney is named after the 21 founding members who hail mainly from Vancouver and Alberta. Vernon’s Justin Baillargeon and DJ Szestopalow pulled off a three-peat in the two-person best ball, last year, carding a sizzling 64. The golf tournament features $9,000 in prizes. Entry fee is $165 which includes golf and power cart, dinner and prizes and a tee gift. The Friday practice round is $49. Call The Rise pro shop at 250-545-7425 to register for Saturday’s tourney.
The Imagine Pools Anarchy dream season came to a close in Calgary after an eventful weekend on the diamond. The Anarchy finished fifth at the Coed D slopitch Nationals. The Anarchy got off to a hot start in roundrobin play with wins over three Albertan teams, Caveman Transport, the Chiefs and the Pop Flyers. They dropped their next game to Derelict, the eventual bronze medalists. The round-robin games were of the low scoring, defensive variety, not like the slo-pitch games they were accustomed to. The Anarchy dropped their playoff opener 13-9 to the Wrecking Crew, who went on to win the gold medal. Down in the losers’ bracket, the Anarchy rattled off back-to-back wins, 9-4 and 7-2, to become the final B.C. team standing. In their final game on Sunday, the Anarchy fell to the Albertan provincial champion, Ampt. 20-10 during a stormy game. The team got great pitching from Don Prowse, Garth Gartner and Kurt Roberts. The outfield was defended by Braden Robertson, Todd Doyle, Sheila Martin and Kurt Roberts. The infield was held strong by Cortnay Solmes, Jenny Gartner, Courtney Bissell, Jessica Sinclaire, Tracy Bell, Taryn Robertson, Gartner and Kurt Roberts. “I’m very proud of our team, we played and acted like champs,” said Anarchy coach Brandon Solmes. The Anarchy now turn their attention to the Co-ed Qualifier in Vernon at the end of August. Sponsors Imagine Pools and Waterscapes, Kal Sportsbar and Sleeman Breweries made the trip possible.

Morning Star Staff
The Duncan River Rats stopped the Vernon Kal Tire Canadians 6-5 in Sunday morning’s semifinals of the B.C. Pee Wee AA Baseball Championships at Thompson Park in Port Coquitlam. Vernon grounded the North Delta Blue Jays 5-1 Saturday afternoon to finish 3-1 in preliminary action at the 10-team tournament. Duncan defeated the Chilliwack Cougars 7-4 in Sunday’s final. Carter Morris started on the mound against Duncan and went three innings before being relieved by Chase Batchelor, named the tournament’s Top Hitter. Vernon faced Duncan fireballer Gavin Pringle, voted Top Pitcher of the tourney, but Vernon scratched out three runs in a tight, tension-filled classic. “He’s (Pringle) a big kid, six-two and a first-year player,” said Kal Tire head coach Mark Batchelor. “He was throwing a bit of a curveball and a change-up, but mostly fastballs. He struck out 14 in six innings.” In the second inning, Morris and game MVP Braden Beacom both singled and Morris later swiped home. In the fifth, Jack Janzen singled in Falcon Thomas, who had doubled. TYLER LOWEY/MORNING STAR

All Vernon batters worked the counts hard to pile up the pitches against Pringle, leading to the critical sixth inning. Nikoda Parker reached second base and Christopher McIntosh doubled in Parker to end Pringle’s day. Ryan Gamage, facing a two-strike count, greeted the River Cat reliever with a bomb over the left field fence to give Vernon the lead for the first time. Vernon was one out away from heading to the finals, but Duncan prevailed by scoring one in the seventh to tie the game, and one in an extra inning, without Vernon responding. The Saturday morning game was a must-win to get into the Sunday playoffs and the middle of the batting lineup came up big. Batchelor had a single, a double and scored twice, while Morris supplied two doubles and two ribbies. Thomas, sporting new shoes, had a double and two RBI. The Canadians’ defence continued their strong play continually snuffing out any potential come back. Pitching duties were shared by starter Batchelor, Morris and game MVP Gamage. “The kids played awesome,” said Batchelor, assisted by Gus Morris and Colin Rafferty. “They (Duncan) got their winning run on a hit up the middle. We were one out away from reaching the final.”
Rams take offence with Sun gaffes WARREN HENDERSON
Black Press Sports
The physical nature of his team’s play Saturday night in Langley wasn’t an area of concern for Shane Beatty. Mental gaffes, however, has the Okanagan Sun head coach scratching his head following Saturday night’s 33-20 B.C. Football Conference loss to the hometown Rams. “We just made too many mental mis-
takes,” said Beatty. “We were physically prepared but not mentally. We took bad penalties, we threw three picks, we fumbled the ball and we couldn’t protect our passer. We should have won that ball game and would have if we could have eliminated even a couple of those mistakes.” Thanks to a solid running game led by Dillon Fortune (80 yards), the Sun dominated the opening quarter but couldn’t find the end zone – an offside penalty
snuffed out one scoring attempt. Instead, the Sun settled for three Hunter Verhulst field goals and a safety for an 11-0 lead. A fumbled snap on a punt and an interception yielded by the Sun allowed Langley back in the game in the second quarter. It was 13-11 Rams at the half. A Fortune TD in the third quarter put the Sun back on top. The Sun host the Vancouver Island Raiders in their home opener Saturday.

Wildfire response burns a hole in budget tom fletcher Black Press
The B.C. government is spending $3.5 million a day to fight forest fires around the province, with the total for the year past $106 million and headed higher. The government is bracing for bills that could reach $250 million by the end of the summer, depending on weather and the number of fires that threaten homes. B.C. has brought in firefighters from Ontario, Alberta and New Brunswick, and issued several evacuation orders by the mid-point of the summer season. Finance Minister Mike de Jong asked for B.C. residents to take all possible precautions and observe campfire bans through August. About 40 per cent of B.C. forest fires are human caused, with most of the rest started by lightning strikes. Forest fire spending is already approaching totals for the last two years. Highs in the past decade are $382 million in 2009 and $371 million in 2003, when fires damaged Kelowna and Barriere. “The possibility of the fire season consuming a quarter billion tax dollars is real,” said de Jong. “Whilst there is no issue about spending the money, it has to come from somewhere, so that’s a cost item that’s looking like it will be considerably more than what had been hoped for.”

Knee Arthritis and Knee Injuries Successfully Treated by Shockwave Therapy
W
hether you are an athlete, in your golden years of retirement, or the typical person on your feet all day at work, you know there’s nothing more debilitating than a knee injury. Knee injuries have many faces and causes and these three groups of people are susceptible to the same injuries but from different causes. Tendon injuries are the most common: Iliotibial band syndrome (pain on the outside of the knee); Patellar tendonitis (pain below the knee); and hamstring injuries (leading to pain in the back of the knee). As well, arthritis plagues many and often results in knee replacement surgery. And unfortunately, many knee surgery patients (due to ligament or cartilage tears) frequent our office.
tendon, binding the knee and often creating soft tissue pain. For the past five years I have been using Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) to treat these conditions, because shockwave therapy breaks down scar tissue and stimulates blood vessel growth to restore muscle function and promote healing. The Journal of Surgical Research 2012 showed ESWT is effective in preventing knee arthritis. In The American Journal Of Sports Medicine 2007, 90% showed significant improvement in patellar tendonitis. Furthermore, The Archives of Orthopedic Trauma Surgery 2007 showed significant reduction in the progression of knee arthritis (ESWT stimulates cells to produce cartilage). Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.
DR. RYAN HARRIS Glenmore Chiropractic
Each of these injuries comes with its own set of obstacles when treating with conventional methods: tendonitis can create fibrous adhesions and scar tissue that disrupts the normal function of the muscle; arthritis erodes the cartilage, decreasing the joint space; and surgery, although often necessary, creates scar tissue on the surrounding muscle and

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder READ THE SUIT FROM PARTNER’S PLAY Nancy Mitford, an English novelist, said, “I have only read one book in my life and that is ‘White Fang.’ It’s so frightfully good that I’ve never bothered to read another.” That is hard to believe she must have read her own books! One of the arts of good bridge is reading the cards - working out who has what from those played. That is important for West in this deal. How should he plan the defense against three no-trump? West leads the heart four: three, jack, queen. South plays a club to dummy’s king, then runs the diamond jack. After winning with his queen, how should West continue? South starts with only five
top tricks: two hearts (given trick one) and three clubs. Obviously he will play on diamonds for more winners, with spades on the back burner if necessary. Several years ago, during an interview, I was asked what is the one thing I teach my students that they never seem to get straight and I cannot understand why. This is what I answered. When playing third hand high on defense, you play the bottom of equally powerful cards. In this deal, when East plays the heart jack at trick one, he denies holding the 10. So West, reading the cards, knows that South started with the heart ace, queen and 10. This means that leading another heart cannot be right. West needs to get East on play for a
heart lead through South. Enter the second key rule: If you lead low from length, you guarantee at least one honor in that suit. Here, West should shift to the spade eight, high denying an honor. Then East should win with his ace and return the heart seven, resulting in South’s going down two.

Q: A:
Yes! Tank-less water heaters or on demand type water heaters have been found to be more energy efficient. Recent studies by CMHC found that gas fired on demand water heaters were 46% more efficient than the conventional gas fired storage water heaters. One drawback was noted that 2% more water consumption was recorded due to a delay in hot water arriving at the tap & consumer’s tendency to use more hot water because the supply was endless. And the supply is endless, as an example, I had one installed in my home. One day I drained my hot tub to clean it & replace the water; I then filled it with hot water via my hot water on demand system. I had to wait for the water in the hot tub to cool down before I could use the hot tub. The cost of retrofitting an on demand water heater is more than a conventional water heater. A conventional heater may cost around $1000 to replace while to retrofit an on demand water heater will most likely start at $2500 or more. Shop around for your best deal, Information on energy savings research can be found on the CMHC web site. And remember: when in doubt, always ask an expert.

Q: A:
What is ‘Bluetooth’ & how does it work with hearing aids?
Bluetooth uses a short range (usu. 30 ft) radio frequency that allows different types of devices to communicate directly with each other. Cell phones, TVs, GPS, computers, stereos, MP3 players & now hearing aids, can be made to talk to each other by using Bluetooth. Perhaps the biggest advantage for someone with a hearing loss is that you can keep the hearing aids in your ears & be able to have your cell phone conversations ‘stream’ directly into both ears, wirelessly. Not only will you hear the phone better in noise, you will be able to do it ‘hands-free’. There are other applications for Bluetooth as well. With a Bluetooth transmitter attached to your TV or stereo, your hearing aids can work as a wireless earphone set. This often gives the hearing impaired person more clarity of speech. Given all the action & background noise on today’s TV shows, this can be a distinct advantage when watching your favourite shows. These devices often have a separate volume control as well. That means your family can set the TV volume to a level they are comfortable with, & you will be able to adjust your own volume separately. This might help keep peace in the household!
The mortgage terms and conditions (rules) vary from one Lender to another and the differences can cost consumers more in penalties than in the past. With mortgage rates being so low: a great rate is quickly minimized if your penalty is based on another interest rate of the Lenders choice should you be forced to break the mortgage early. We are seeing a lot of mortgage features stripped away with the ultra low rates, so be sure to ask: 1) How is my penalty calculated to pay out the mortgage if I need to sell? 2) What method of calculation is being applied? Watch for the Posted Rate of interest and any discount that was granted, this will increase your penalty substantially. The best calculation is the discount rate you were given compared to the discounted rate at the time of payout or time remaining in your term. 3) What is the prepayment I am able to apply to my mortgage each year and if I sell my home can I apply my prepayment at that time to reduce my penalty? 4) Is my mortgage portable to a new home, and if I need a higher mortgage how will that affect my interest rate 5) Can I Blend my rate and extend the term of the agreement if I need to? This option is no longer offered at a few major Banks. Mortgage prepayment charges are really important to consumers and it is crucial to understand the true cost up front. A Mortgage is a legal contract and if you have any questions, you should see a lawyer who can explain the document to you in detail before you accept the Mortgage. E&O/OAC

Q: A:
I’m constantly selfsabotaging myself. How can I stop? Self-sabotage and self-love are opposite sides of the same coin. If we love ourselves, we won’t selfsabotage.
I believe that getting to that place of self-love is one of our life’s purposes -- a goal of every human being, whether they are consciously aware of it or not. It is also one of the most challenging tasks we have as our social conditioning and beliefs surrounding self-love are so strong. The good news is we can get there! Self-love can be created by making little loving choices every day. As Debbie Ford says “The choices we make that tell us ‘You are important. You are a good person. You deserve to take care of yourself. You matter.”

What do you think of hot water on demand water heaters, are they really more efficient?
Learn more from those who have the answers!
If you don’t have a will, a court decides who gets your assets. A will is a device that lets you tell the world whom you want to get your assets. Die without one, and the state decides who gets what, without regard to your wishes or your heirs’ needs. Making a will is especially important for people with young children, because wills are the best way to transfer guardianship of minors. You may amend your will at any time. In fact, it’s a good idea to review it periodically and especially when your marital status changes.
We worry, so you don’t have to!
