Opt-out sought on meters RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Kitchen reno bolsters mission RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A major face lift has lifted spirits at the Upper Room Mission. The Vernon agency unveiled its new kitchen to clients Monday after eight weeks of renovations. “I walked in and went, ‘Thank you Lord, it’s so beautiful,’” said Linda Price, kitchen supervisor. The kitchen, which has doubled in size, is bright and open and has separate areas dedicated to cooking, meal preparation and dish washing. Previously, duct tape held cabinets together, the floor was rotting, counters were too low and residential appliances gave out under the steady demand that comes from upwards of 250 meals a day. “It’s like night and day. I’m really, really happy,” said Price. Challenging circumstances had become so routine, Price is having to adjust to her new

surroundings, including having a convection oven. “I had omelettes done in 15 minutes instead or 40 minutes or more,” she said. Clients are thrilled with the renovations. “They’ve done a really good job here,” said Fred (not his real name), who works but has a limited budget. “This is good for people making ends meet.” While the kitchen was closed, dining service was unavailable and bag lunches were given to clients. “They missed being able to sit down and hang around and visit after,” said Lisa Froom, general manager. “We’re now back into the routine of connecting more.” And because of the increased space in the kitchen, those relationships are expected to expand. “Guests will be able to help with dish duties so they feel involved,” said Froom.

But while the kitchen is open, one major challenge remains. About $87,000 is still required to cover the $165,000 project cost. “We had to move forward in faith. We had no choice,” said Froom of proceeding with renovations despite not having all of the money in place. Funding sources are being sought and there’s one easy way for residents to participate. “Pennies are going out (of circulation) so we’re collecting them,” said Froom. The project was able to be completed because of significant community support to date. “We had a lot of volunteer labour with the demolition and construction,” said Froom. “I don’t know where we would be without that.” To donate to the kitchen, drop by the Upper Room Mission at 3403 27th Ave. or call 250-549-1231.

Vernon officials don’t want smart meters forced on to anyone. Council unanimously voted Monday to urge B.C. Hydro to develop an optout procedure for customers who don’t want the remote monitoring devices installed. “I believe people should be given the right to decide what goes on their houses,” said Coun. Bob Spiers. Spiers points to Quebec where residents there can refuse meters as long as they cover Bob Spiers the costs involved with traditional meter reading. Council’s decision comes after a presentation from Citizens for Safe Technology. The group claims microwave radiation exposure can create a range of health issues, while the utility will know what appliances you are using by monitoring the meter. B.C. Hydro insists the devices do not present a health concern and do not interfere with privacy. “I have no concerns with smart meters and I’d have one in my house but people should have the right to opt out,” said Coun. Brian Quiring. While council’s motion will be forwarded to Hydro, there is little confidence the Crown corporation will shift direction. “Nothing will happen,” said Spiers. “B.C. Hydro won’t back down and we will all get smart meters.” However, Mayor Rob Sawatzky insists that local governments must represent the interests of their residents. “Hopefully those in power will reflect on this and consider what the community wants,” he said.

provincial government. “We would need to understand the impact of periodic discharge,” said consultant Ehren Lee, referring to an environmental assessment. Coun. Juliette Cunningham believes other options for using treated effluent must be found. “The master water plan at the regional district is looking at ways of adding more value to that (treated) water,” she said. “Perhaps it could be pumped to Goose Lake to expand the agriculture base.” Mayor Rob Sawatzky is undecided if lake discharges should be allowed. “The more informed I become about the quality of the waste water, the less distasteful the idea is,” he said. A public open house on the liquid waste management plan is tentatively scheduled for May 29 although no details have been released yet.

An early-morning jog from a police vehicle raised the suspicion of the officer behind the wheel. Making patrols near The Shops At Polson Park, the officer spotted a male running when he saw her car at around 4:15 a.m. Tuesday. “The officer felt this was suspicious so she called other officers to assist in locating this person,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.

A short time later, three youth, aged 17 and 18, were apprehended after trying to hide in the area. Police discovered the trio had broken into about eight vehicles in the area around Vernon Secondary School and removed anything of value. Several items were recovered, thanks to the help of a police service dog. Two males from Salmon Arm and one from Vernon have been released from custody to appear in court at a later date.

Vandalism frustrates resident ROGER KNOX

Opening May 18

PHOTO SUBMITTED

It took Theresa VanDyk the better part of Saturday for her to stop shaking after her Okanagan Landing property was vandalized overnight. VanDyk believes it was sometime between 2 and 6 a.m. Saturday that vandals knocked over planter boxes, smashed lights and compromised a rock wall at her home in the 6500 block of Longacre Drive. “Our neighbours heard nothing and we didn’t hear anything,” said VanDyk. “My husband had to rebuild the one area of the rock wall where a wooden sign that had our address on it was kicked over. “We replanted all the planter boxes and they’re not light. It would have taken a good kick or something to push them over.” VanDyk said she was horrified when she saw the damage Saturday morning, then upset when she discovered

Judge grants bail if $100,000 provided ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

A Cherryville man charged in connection with a 2011 murder in Armstrong has been granted bail. But Stephen Roy Foerster can only leave custody if he comes up with the $100,000 in bail ordered by B.C. Supreme Court Judge Frank Cole Monday morning at the Vernon Court House. As of Monday afternoon, Foerster had not come up with the amount. Foerster, 58, has been charged with obstruction of justice and accessory after the fact in connection with the homicide of Armstrong teenager Taylor Van Diest, who was killed Oct. 31. “The judge wrote a decision according to law and gave him bail,” said Foerster’s lawyer, Bill Firman. “He was entitled to bail.” Cole also ordered Foerster not to have contact

with a number of people and, should he be released on bail, he is not allowed to be in Armstrong. Van Diest was found badly injured by family and friends near the Rosedale Avenue railway tracks after she failed to show up for Halloween festivities with friends. She died that night in hospital. Foerster’s son, Matthew Stephen Foerster, 26, is facing a first degree murder charge in connection with Van Diest’s death. Stephen Foerster’s next court appearance is slated for May 23 in Vernon, while Matthew Foerster is scheduled to next appear in Kelowna court in June.

Coldstream council is encouraging a referendum to borrow funds to construct a sports facility at Okanagan College. Local politicians say the Kalamalka college site is the only choice, despite a recent suggestion that Kin Race Track be considered. “Unfortunately there was some misunderstanding,” said Coun.

Gyula Kiss, of Kin being suggested as an option. “As far as I’m concerned, (Kin) is not an option.” There is also some debate about what the proposed sports facility will include and how much it will cost. Originally, the facility was proposed to cost $6 million for a football turf area, rubberized track, change facility and classroom and lighting. The projected cost has since jumped to $8.5 million and Mayor Jim Garlick suggests that figure needs to be re-examined. A referendum could take place in the fall or next spring.

Any plans for a new fire hall in Greater Vernon’s rural area may be premature. A study has recommended a new fire hall be constructed in the Swan Lake corridor in the next five years. “Five years could be optimistic given the time it takes for the various parties to discuss an issue and agree to something,” said Bob Fleming,

Officer witnesses highway accident Morning Star Staff

Rarely do North Okanagan Traffic Services police officers get to witness an accident happen right in front of them. However, a NOTS officer working traffic enforcement Friday at 10:30 p.m. on Highway 97 near Irish Creek Road north of Vernon had an accident nearly land literally in his lap. “The officer had his vehicle parked well off the roadway facing south as he was using station-

ary radar to monitor the speed of the northbound traffic,” explained Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “Two northbound vehicles approached at approximately 80 kilometres/hour when the lead vehicle did not follow the curve of the highway.” The vehicle crossed the road, drove across the gravel lot beside the officer’s vehicle and up the bank behind his car. The 2002 Toyota truck then rolled over, land-

ing upside down on the southbound lane of Highway 97. The driver identified himself and told the officer that he had fallen asleep. The 68-year-old man from Falkland was the only occupant of the vehicle except for his dog. The dog was uninjured in the accident. The driver was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital where he was treated and released with minor injuries. He was issued a ticket for failing to keep right.

Suspect to answer to trafficking charge Morning Star Staff

One individual is facing charges of trafficking cocaine. On Saturday just after midnight, Vernon RCMP officers noticed a vehicle that appeared to operate in a manner that was consistent with drug dealing. “Police formed reasonable grounds to determine the male operating the vehicle was trafficking drugs from his vehicle,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spoksperson. The suspect — a 32-year-old Vernon man — was arrested as he returned to his vehicle in the area of 32nd Street and 39th Avenue. “The suspect was found to be in possession of suspected crack cocaine and a quantity of cash,” said Molendyk. He has been released from custody and is expected to make a court appearance in June to answer to the charges of trafficking in a con-

trolled substance.

Think outside the box

ne of Vernon’s most divisive issues is about to gain legs again. Some officials are suggesting treated effluent, or waste water, be pumped into Okanagan Lake instead of using it to irrigate pastures and golf courses. For those recommending the move, they may not be aware of the history. An outfall pipe was extended into Okanagan Lake in the late 1980s as a backup to the city’s spray irrigation program. Emotions ran high, sides were taken and political careers were built and trashed based on that single issue. Fast forward to 1996, and discharge into the lake became reality as a wet summer sidelined irrigation and the reservoir needed to be drained. A similar scenario arose in 2008 and Richard Rolke like before, those for and against discharge hired lawyers and launched a war of words. In the end, Mother Nature was agreeable and a discharge was avoided. This time around, individuals updating Vernon’s liquid waste management plan suggest it’s time to revisit the issue because there isn’t a sufficient land base for spray irrigation, especially if the local population continues to grow. But instead of taking the easy route and dumping waste water into the lake, why aren’t they thinking outside of the box? There are existing opportunities to expand the land base, including the sprawling Coldstream Ranch. While the necessary infrastructure would be an expensive proposition, that would be offset by the available capacity generated for decades to come. Beyond that, though, the city needs to learn from other North American communities. The Southwest Florida Water Management District serves five million people and 149 million gallons of waste water per day was reused in 2010. This included 8,000 acres of citrus

BEYOND THE HEADLINES

crops and irrigation for 100,000 residential customers. Over in Tucson, Arizona, reclaimed water is provided to 900 sites, including 18 golf courses, 39 parks, 52 schools and more than 700 homes. Like Arizona, the North Okanagan is arid and we’ve faced potable water shortages because of hot summers and low snowpack. Additionally, everyone wants to live here and that is putting extreme pressure on the resource. Alternatives must be found to ensure that domestic water goes where it is actually needed. If Florida can use reclaimed water for oranges, why can’t we use it for tree fruits, grapes and vegetables? Such a move could play a significant role in bolstering agriculture both economically and socially. As new subdivisions are built, a dual system should be installed — one line with drinking water and another line with treated effluent for outside irrigation and toilets (six litres for lowflow flush). Many people may bristle at the thought — primarily because of waste water’s original form — but remember that many of the local sports fields and golf courses are already part of the spray irrigation program. Cattle are grazing on grass fueled by the substance. Now for the record, I have no problem with pumping waste water into Okanagan Lake from an environmental standpoint. It is treated to extremely high standards and other valley communities have been doing it for years. But I do object to wasting something when we know traditional sources of water will struggle with climate change and the region’s population will continue to climb. Those advocating for a discharge point to the high cost of spray irrigation — $550,000 for electricity in 2011 — but that is peanuts compared to the multi-millions of dollars needed to meet evolving requirements for treating domestic water and finding new sources if global warming takes hold. If we are to prepare for the future, the time to act is now.

Marc Dalton, Maple RidgeMission MLA, thinks his party, the B.C. Liberals, should change its name. He says the name – in place since the provincial Liberals formed in 1991 (and the one voters have elected to govern three consecutive terms) – is confusing to some centre-right voters, now that the B.C. Conservatives have surged to solid third-party status. He says those who are federal Conservatives will have a hard time voting B.C. Liberal next time. Last month, the NDP won two B.C. byelections, in ChilliwackHope and Port Moody-Coquitlam. The Liberals came second in both, the Conservatives third. The Liberals fear more vote splitting in the May 2013 provincial election. But changing the party’s name won’t prevent that. Doing so would seem even more confusing to voters, which may be the point. It’s easy to see why the Liberals would want to rebrand the party, distance itself from past scandals and failures, and try to reverse falling popularity. But whatever the Liberals come up with – the B.C. Alliance Party is being floated about – it’s still the same cast of characters who brought you the B.C. Rail and HST fiascoes. Whether or not Kevin Falcon and other cabinet ministers run again isn’t going to change that. And changing the party’s name, to something more progressive, won’t erase the past, or fool many. B.C. doesn’t need a new centreright party – it already has two. The B.C. Conservatives beat the Liberals to the punch. Trying to decide between the two is what’s confusing. Are the Liberals about families or business? A tiger can’t change its stripes. Changing the party’s name is just painting over them. As long as the B.C. Conservatives are around, the right will be split. And that’s what the NDP is counting on. – Black Press

In defence of unions

recent letter on unions, specifically the BCTF, from Michael Murison raises some important perspectives on unions and education. Mr. Murison starts saying that the BCTF is “mired in 19th Century ‘workers’ struggles’ long since successfully concluded.” Two points rise from this. First is that because of those union efforts of long ago, many of them repressed violently by governments and corporations using the military, the police and private security, that workers of today have decent working conditions and pay. Secondly, and more importantly, unions today are increasingly under attack by governments and corporations who are trying to take away their power in order to harvest more wealth and create more profits for the “one per cent.” We have all witnessed the government corporate support behind the Air Canada strike votes, not allowing BICYCLE LANES I have been following the issues regarding the 43rd Ave. bicycle lane. Nowhere did I read about any kind of a survey taken to see how many pedestrians and bicycles are travelling these routes. Since this issue came forward I have been looking for people and bicycles on 25th, 32nd 39th, 43rd and 48th avenues and 32nd and 27th streets. Each time I may have seen one or two people on each stretch at different times of the day. Since most of these sidewalks are wide and have to be kept clean through the winter why not allow bicycles on these sidewalks? It makes sense and I don’t think it will need any more policing and certainly is a lot cheaper and mostly safer than the painted lanes that are out there now. Bikers in these lanes are not following the same rules as vehicles so this will prevent less risk if using the sidewalks. S. Kachuk

the free bargaining that should be part and parcel of supposedly free enterprise. The postal workers suffered a similar fate when the government supported the postal corporation. Similar fates have fallen unions in B.C. The nurses had their contract - a collective one, meaning the government had agreed to it - overthrown, to be replaced by a legislated one. The teachers contract has similarly been legislated time and time again. Further into the letter, Murison says the union is “demanding” certain objectives. In a true bargaining GOOD SAMARITANS My husband and I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks for the assistance given to me by those who came to my rescue when I collapsed outside the Buy Low Food Store on Saturday afternoon April 21. We especially want to thank Emil and Todd who took charge until the ambulance arrived. There were many others who offered assistance whose names we do not know. We hope you know who you are and can accept our thanks.

round there are no “demands” but there are positions and proposals put forward to be countered by the opposing side. When one side, the BCPSEA (the Public School Employers’ Association) has the full backing of the provincial government and has not tabled any counter positions, what they want is a blank slate to tell the teachers what, where, when, and how to teach. The arguments presented in the letter are closed with a wonderful rhetorical statement that the “education system is a single organism whose sole objective is to for the children who were able to participate. Donna MacAulay KINDNESS OF STRANGERS I don't usually rely on the kindness of strangers, but when it's needed, it is heartwarming to know that there are generous people willing to help. On May 3, a friend and I were leaving The Bay when I stepped off the sidewalk and fell. A lady came over immediately and helped my friend get me to my car. I was in shock and did not get her name, but I thank her from the bottom of my heart. She stepped in without being asked and did what was needed. My foot had broken and without her help, it would have been an even more difficult situation. Thank you and God bless you! Kathleen Friesen POLITICAL RIGHT? I suppose if you are teeter-

turn out responsible, well-rounded citizens, equipped with the widest knowledge and best critical thinking skills.” I agree one hundred per cent. Unfortunately, neither the current provincial government nor the corporations that operate in B.C. want a “critical thinking” workforce, one that asks questions and does not accept political platitudes for answers. They want a compliant work force able and willing to toe the line, to accept lower wages, poorer working conditions, and fewer health and safety conditions that the unions have earned over ing on the extreme edge of the political spectrum as letter writer Scott Anderson appears to be all other parties are necessarily to your left. Actually, the whole left/right socialist/free enterprise rhetoric should be laid to rest. The NDP is not against free enterprise and its policies and practices hardly resemble anything that might be called socialism. Free enterprise, as Conservatives and BC Liberals appear to understand it, means a free hand for large corporations to exploit the province's resources largely freed of taxes and environmental and social constraints. What all three parties and their advocates need to do leading up to the next election is to inform us of their intentions. Dispense with left/right rhetoric and scare tactics. Tell us what your party would like to do for the people of British Columbia. Howard Brown

the decades. Bargaining is neither anachronistic nor a danger to civil society - it is what creates a well balanced healthy society where no one player - in this case our corporate governance model - has all the power and the workers have none. The corporations and governments have never willingly given the workers any benefits. Everything we have today, from the eight-hour workday and the two-day weekend to statutory holidays, decent wages, health benefits, workers safety rules, have arrived because of collective bargaining, unions and workers’ collectives advocating against the power of the government and the corporations for better working and living conditions. Education, yes, for critical thinking and a wide range of knowledge. Teachers can do that given the right working and learning conditions. Jim Miles

Largest field in a decade set for Falkland Stampede RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Get ready for a broncbusting good time. The 94th annual Falkland Stampede bursts out of the gate Saturday, with the action continuing until Victoria Day Monday. “It’s going to be one of our best ones ever,” said Ozzie Leaf, a longtime volunteer. “It’s a real family atmosphere and some people have been coming for 40 years.” There are 357 entries — the largest in a decade.

“We’ve got a lot of Americans coming in and the bare back and bronc riding entries are up,” said Jason Churchill, stampede manager. “That’s really good for the rodeo fans.” Among the cowboys that will be there are Vernon’s Wade Marchand and Ty Ellott. “In the saddlebronc riding, Ty’s brother Clay Elliott will be competing against guys from Australia, the U.S. and Alberta,” said Leaf. Cowboys participate for a total prize purse of

more than $45,000. The event generally draws upwards of 5,000 people over the three days. “It’s one of the oldest rodeos in Canada and it’s what people do on the May long weekend,” said Churchill. “The other attraction is we’re also a professional rodeo with topend cowboys. We put everything we can into the rodeo.” That means bringing in Northcott rodeo stock, the Crazy Cowgirls trick riders, announcer Les McIntyre

Also critical is the army of volunteers behind the scenes, with most residents in the town of 500 lending a hand. “It’s a huge community effort,” said Churchill, adding that non-profit groups also run concession stands and other activities to fundraise. “Everything in the town is basically funded by the rodeo.” Leaf has been involved with the stampede for more than 50 years. “I get pumped up every time the rodeo comes along because of what it does for the community,” he said. The theme for this year’s stampede is a tribute to native cowboys. “There are some incredible cowboys

A rash of break-and-enters in the village have Lumby RCMP urging residents and business owners to make sure their property is securely locked. Thieves entered five rooms at the Twin Creeks Motel on Vernon Street and stole newly installed 32-inch TVs and a fridge. “We have located some forensic evidence but still require any information whatsoever as to who might be responsible,” said RCMP Cpl. Henry Proce. “Someone in Lumby or area is sitting with five new TVs in their possession.” J.W. Inglis Secondary School was broken into

A suspect was observed by youngsters in the vicinity. He is described as a youth wearing a green and white jacket, a ball cap on backwards and carrying a longboard (skateboard).

Woman in Black proves to be a winner Vernon’s Powerhouse Theatre is back in the OZone with four awards, including best production KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff

Powerhouse Theatre can once again welcome the Bill Allum Cup home to Vernon. The award, named after the late Vernon resident, Powerhouse member and cofounder of The Morning Star, is issued annually for the best production at the Okanagan Zone (OZone) Drama Festival. And this year it went to Powerhouse’s dark and mysterious entry The Woman in Black. The award caught the play’s director Matt Brown, who was also named as best director, totally off guard. “I love surprises and this one was one of the best I’ve ever received,” said Brown. The director said he experienced what could be best described as raw emotion as the award’s ceremony took place Saturday night at Armstrong’s Centennial Hall. “Because it’s like the Oscars, they started with all the technical and merit awards and worked from the backstage forwards. Theatre Kelowna was bringing in a string of awards, and I thought there’s was the favoured one, and it was really well done. But when the sound award came up, I leaned over to Bob (Oldfield), and said ‘this one is for you,’” said Brown. A longtime theatre volunteer, Oldfield did end up picking up the award for his eerie sound effects, and he wasn’t the only Powerhouse member to come away with some hardware. “(Festival adjudicator) Ted Price was talking about the best actors... I thought he was talking about another production, and then he mentioned the award was a joint one, and I knew we had won,” said Brown, referring to The Woman in Black’s two (and only) actors Chris Froese and Burnet McLean. “My face just about dropped. Time stood still. I looked around at people’s faces, and couldn’t stop smiling myself, and then my

name was called. I didn’t know what to say. It was totally unexpected,” added Brown. Hosted by Armstrong’s Asparagus Community Theatre, this year’s OZones saw seven community theatre companies from throughout the region, including Kelowna, Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Armstrong and

Vernon, present their respective plays to an audience and adjudicator. The former artistic director of Prince George’s Theatre North West, Price not only had to judge the awards, but he also offered advice and constructive criticism on each play at daily critiques held during the festival. “He spoke so eloquently and provided really knowledgeable information,” said Brown. This was the first OZone experience for Brown, who is also owner of The Hub Arts Collective, a new arts venture in Vernon, and he’s not about to rest on his laurels. He, his cast and crew will soon be preparing to take The Woman in Black to Kamloops where other zone winners from throughout the province will stage their respective plays at Theatre BC’s Mainstage Festival, to be held at the Sagebrush Theatre June 30 to July 7. “It makes me humble and proud to rep-

resent a great group like Powerhouse. The amount of support I’ve had is immense. This play did come with some sacrifice and a fight to get it to this point,” said Brown, adding, “The cast came into their own during the run, but now that I have had some time to watch the play, as well as get feedback from Ted Price, who made valid suggestions to simplify the application and the audience quality, we’ll be ready for the next step.” The OZones also saw host theatre Asparagus pick up two awards for its entry, Tamarack. Best lighting went to Paul KirkwoodHackett, while the Award of Merit for Technical and Design Innovation went to George Bensmiller, Maryke Simmonds and Bea Kirkwood-Hackett. Vernon’s Leah Goldie of Powerhouse Theatre was also presented the Steve Heal Memorial OZone Scholarship. Other awards went to: –– Theatre Kelowna Society, best backstage for The Perfect Wedding. –– Diane Fettig, Theatre Kelowna, best set decor for The Perfect Wedding. –– Crystal Lawrie, Playhouse 25 (Kelowna), best newcomer for Waiting For the Parade. –– Bumbershoot Children’s Theatre (Kelowna), best ensemble for The Hundred Dresses. –– James Bowlby and Randy Brogden, Shuswap Theatre (Salmon Arm), Award of Merit for Outstanding Commitment to a Cast and Theatre Organization. –– Louise Sjoquist, Theatre Kelowna, best costumes for The Perfect Wedding. –– Brian Haigh, Theatre Kelowna, best set design, The Perfect Wedding. –– Dorothy Dalba and Sarah Macfarlane, Bumbershoot Children’s Theatre, best supporting actress for The Hundred Dresses. –– Joe Welton, Theatre Kelowna, best supporting actor for The Perfect Wedding. –– Georgia Kemp, Bumbershoot Children’s Theatre, best actress for The Hundred Dresses, –– Tracy Ross, Bumbershoot Children’s Theatre, Award of Merit for Outstanding Administrative and Artistic Leadership.

Art, food, gold, music, it’s all in Cherryville this weekend Morning Star Staff

Those visiting the Monashees this Victoria Day long weekend will want to head into Cherryville for a number of activities. The Vernon Placer Miners Club’s 21st annual B.C. Open Gold Panning Championships and Family Fun Days is once again taking place at the Goldpanner Campground, Chalets and Pioneer Village, located on Highway 6, 60 kilometres east of Vernon. Founded by the late Clare Hewson, the Goldpanning championship sees panners from throughout the province and beyond participate in a number of events from metal detecting to open and flat pan-

ning, with musical entertainment, barbecues and more planned. There is no gate admission and the event is open to everyone. More information is available at www.cherryville.net/goldpanning. Located behind Frank’s General Store on Highway 6 at the Sugar Lake turnoff is the Cherryville Farmers’ Market and the Cherryville Artisans’ Shop, which have both opened for the season and have a number of activities planned for this weekend. A 100 per cent producers market, this Saturday’s farmers’ market will feature organic produce, bedding plants, honey, candles, artisans’ wares, fresh baking and the Mountain Kid’s Creation Fort, along

with a performance by musical act Sorella, who will play from 11 a.m. to noon. The Vernon-based trio features Julie Armitage, Diana Ward, and Ellie Young, playing keyboards, guitar, and stand-up bass, and singing in three-part harmony. Other local musicians will also be entertaining. Those wishing to be a part of the market, which runs Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., can contact Heather Fleury at farmersmarket@cherryville.net or call (250) 547-6056. Also at the site, the Cherryville Artisans’ Association will be showing non-established emerging artists in its Emerging Artist Showcase.

The art exhibition will be located under the pergola at the Cherryville Artisans’ Shop in conjunction with the market every Saturday. “We are hoping to feature a different artist every weekend, and our feature artist on May 19 will be Sol Salisbury,” said Helen Kovacs, with the Cherryville Artisans. “The shop is also full of new artwork. I have been creating new garden art and glass beads and our new potter, Laurel Fredin, has been busy with mugs and new goddess vessels.” Shop hours are Thursday to Monday from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. or by appointment anytime. Contact Kovacs at (250) 547-0020 for more information.

Pianist returns to Vernon accompanied by jazz giants DVOIRA YANOVSKY Vernon Jazz Society

Swing, blues, Latin – the Ron Johnston Quartet, featuring Dylan Cramer, has it all at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. Johnston’s quartet includes Cramer on saxophone, Bruce Meikle on bass, and John Nolan on the drums. Johnston and the band offer a varied repertoire of musical selections from a period spanning over seven decades. Performing a collection of classic jazz standards, fiery Latin tunes, and blues-drenched ballads, the quartet features the music of jazz masters Antonio Carlos Jobim, Miles Davis, Grover Washington, Irving Berlin, and Harold Arlen. Tunes include Arlen’s Over the Rainbow, Washington’s Winelight, and Jobim’s Triste. The quartet also highlights contemporary composers such as Stevie Wonder and Carlos Santana. Playing and performing piano for 40 years now, Johnston is wellrespected in the Canadian jazz scene. He’s performed with every major Canadian jazz musician such as Moe Koffman, P.J. Perry, Terry Jacks, and Rob McConnell. Jazz has been a refuge and a joy

Johnston also counts Bill Evans

He recently released his own CD, Remembering Tomorrow, with bassist Torben Oxbol and drummer Nolan, receiving critical acclaim and airplay on CBC Radio. Johnston is pleased to return to the VJC this spring. “I’m looking forward to seeing some old friends and fans, and playing the new piano,” said Johnston. Cramer appeared with his quartet at the VJC last spring. He is well known for his smooth, soulful, and sophisticated sax style. Cramer’s quartet performs regularly in Vancouver at The Jazz Cellar where he was first exposed to jazz. “I was first influenced by my father, Barry Cramer, one of the original owners of The Cellar, a jazz and poetry late night club in Vancouver in the ‘50s and ‘60s,”

said Cramer. Cramer is presently hard at work with Johnston on his fifth CD, due for release in 2013. Bassist Meikle has been performing in both the classical and jazz worlds for the past 30 years. He has played with the Victoria Symphony and is an ongoing member of the Dylan Cramer Quartet. Nolan is one of Vancouver’s top drummers, freelancing there and in Los Angeles with many top musicians and bands as a performer and studio musician. The Ron Johnston Quartet plays the Vernon Jazz Club, 3000-31st St. (upstairs), Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. and tickets ($20, $15 Vernon Jazz Society members) are available in advance at the Bean Scene and Bean to Cup coffee houses.

Cods play last coffee house of the season Morning Star Staff

The Coldstream Coffee House has one more show to present before the summer break. On Saturday, the coffee house, held at the Coldstream Women’s Institute Hall, welcomes Vernon Maritime Celtic band Cod Gone Wild as its feature act. Newfoundlander Andrew Mercer (lead singer/ guitar) leads the group of talented veteran musicians, which includes Anjuli Otter (fiddle and vocals), Chad “Rhino” Carter (percussion and vocals), and Roy Kawano (bass). Currently touring the B.C. Interior with their Irish pub nights, the Cods are known for giving a unique, musical view of some of the great Irish/ Newfoundland music that inspired Mercer as a

child, when he started to perform at just five years of age, said coffee house organizer Rory White. “His vision from those days in his life, along with the collaborative and creative talents of the team, have become a reality and continue to evolve into a uniquely refreshing and amazing show of great music presented with talent, skill and great energy,” he said. The coffee house is also open to musicians, spoken word artists, and comedians (clean material only) and those wishing to participate should arrive early to sign up. A concession of goodies and refreshments by donation will be available. Admission is $4 at the door. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Show is at 7 p.m. The Coldstream Women’s Institute Hall is located at 9909 Kalamalka Lake Rd.

Kelowna’s Hannah Griffin is showing her abstract landscapes of Okanagan topography as part of the group exhibition now open at Ashpa Naira Gallery on Vernon’s westside.

Westside gallery opens new exhibit Morning Star Staff

An oasis of contemporary art awaits those who visit the westside of Okanagan Lake this summer. Owned by local artist Carolina Sanchez de Bustamante, Ashpa Naira Gallery re-opened last weekend for its sixth season, and its first summer exhibition for 2012 runs from now to June 24. “Colour Escapes is a group exhibition of contemporary B.C. artists and expresses the richness in colour and texture of these original artworks such as paintings, sculpture, ceramic, glass and even jewelry,” said Sanchez de Bustamante. New artists who have joined the gallery for this year’s exhibition include one of the Okanagan’s premiere young abstract landscape artists, Hannah Griffin. “She has spent the last several years creating large-and medium-scale pieces inspired by the supernatural elements of the Okanagan topography,” said Sanchez de Bustamante. Also in the show is work by Ron Eckert, a practising visual artist for

more than four decades, who uses the printmaking medium to express interpersonal experiences visually through either figurative or in still life form. Kim Wilson will show her “living art,” handmade designer jewelry inspired by the rare combination of Canadian natural materials intertwined with vintage ornamentation, while Colin Quincey will display his functional art take on bird houses using recycled items to create these original habitats for nature. Other Ashpa Naira artists whose work is on display at this indoor/outdoor art gallery include Leonard Epp, Julie Oakes, Angelika Jaeger, Carin Covin, Barry Rafuse, Robert Bigelow, Jason Negreiff, Susan Richards, Dan Irvine, Sandra de Vries, Sanchez de Bustamante, and others. Ashpa Naira Gallery is located at 9492 Houghton Rd, in the Killiney area above Westside Road (approximately a 35-minute drive from Vernon), and is open from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. Friday to Sunday. Admission is free. More information is available at www.ashpanairagallery.com, or call 250-549-4249.

Yellow Submarine comes back to life TORONTO –– Once upon a time… or maybe twice, there was an unearthly paradise called Pepperland, a place where happiness and music reigned supreme. But all that was threatened when the terrible Blue Meanies declared war and sent in their army led by a menacing Flying Glove to destroy all that was good. Enter John, Paul, George and Ringo to save the day! Armed with little more than their humour, songs, and of course, their yellow submarine, The Beatles tackle the rough seas ahead in an effort to bring down the

evil forces of bluedom. And now the classic animated film, featuring The Beatles, is returning to the big screen when it is shown in Cineplex theatres across the country. Restored by hand and in 4K digital resolution, Yellow Submarine will be shown for a onetime only engagement at Vernon’s Galaxy Cinemas on May 24 at 7 p.m. Based upon the song by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Yellow Submarine is a fantastic tale brimming with peace, love, and hope, propelled by Beatles songs, including Eleanor Rigby, When I’m Sixty-

Four, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, All You Need Is Love, and It’s All Too Much. When the film debuted in 1968, it was instantly recognized as a landmark achievement, revolutionizing a genre by integrating the freestyle approach of the era with innovative animation techniques. Advance tickets for Yellow Submarine are now available at participating theatre box offices and online at www. cineplex.com/events. A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales to this event will be donated by EMI to MusiCounts.

Volunteers serve People in Need CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff

One of the PIN (People in Need) Crisis Intervention Society’s first volunteers is proud to have served on the line and as a board member for 36 years. The organization started in 1975 after community service agencies saw a need for people to have a place to talk anonymously and confidentially about life issues and a way to keep contact with seniors living on their own. “The hospital volunteer coordinator at the time, Aileen Brooker, got a grant and we were able to work with the health unit and other support groups and we have been there ever since,” said Cathie Stewart, who was working at the hospital then. Nancy Ingersoll, a teacher, got involved about 25 years ago after her father died. “I thought it was a good thing to do something to get out of thinking about myself,” she said. The PIN Crisis Intervention Society, with trained volunteers, started at the hospital and when that space was needed, moved several times in the city until it found a permanent home in The People Place. “We saw a need and provided it and promoted it. This is different from any other kind of support that is available in the community. We’ve been there 24/7. For 36 years, we’ve man-

aged to put someone at the end of a phone. We listen, we don’t counsel. We give callers a chance to be heard and often when talking, they will recognize for themselves what it is that is really bothering them and what it is they need to do next. We also offer referrals to other agencies if asked,” said Stewart. People call the line about a variety of life issues, including relationships, grief and loss, health, finances, food and shelter needs, addictions and anxiety. People do not need to be in a severe crisis to need support to help make things better. Ingersoll sees the line as a way of empowering people as they get information and find their own direction. Volunteer staff members are trained to listen non-judgmentally and there are many volunteers who have given years of service. “The dedication of the volunteers is above anything that could be hoped for in volunteers. They must be anonymous and they do their work without any recognition from the community. It takes a special, unique person to do a volunteer job and not get any recognition,” said Ingersoll. The crisis line and the Good Morning program, which calls to check in with seniors on request, still operate in Vernon with local volunteers. The service is now part of the Interior Crisis Line Network which serves the Interior

Longtime PIN Crisis Intervention Society board members Nancy Ingersoll and Cathie Stewart talk about how the organization has served the area for the past 36 years. Health Authority region. This means that no caller will ever get a busy signal. If they call their local line and it is busy, they will automatically be transferred to a volunteer in another centre who will help. All volunteers receive the same training and are familiar with the resources in all area communities. “It can take courage to call in the first place so everyone should have the chance to talk to a person when they call, not be told to call back,” said Ingersoll. “There is real value in this service to the community — that people know they can call and talk to a compassionate and caring volunteer.” The new administration for the service has been working well.

“I think the success is in the simplicity. There are no hidden messages. Everyone is accepted equally. We are here and we care. What we have in common is being present with everyone in the community, we stand next to each other. When people say thank you at the end of a call, that is a wonderful gift,” said Stewart. She and Ingersoll have not worked directly on the lines for several years but have been busy board members. Now that the society has disbanded, they will share their talent, experience and expertise in other parts of the community.

Dandelions aren’t just weeds s you read this, May is already half gone. Some brave souls have already transplanted their tomatoes trying to cheat nature. According to the forecast, the nights should stay above freezing for the next two weeks but the forecasts have been wrong before. When it comes to transplanting tomatoes, it used to be May 24 and gradually became the long weekend. However, the long weekend sometimes is early and coincides with a late frost just like last year. Let’s hope this year will be different. I might take a chance myself. I tried to plant some radishes according to the moon phases but only the quails will know the results. Jocelyne Sewell They also cleaned out the new growth on my carrots and now I have to cage everything or I will not have much of a harvest. The deer also have munched on the raspberry canes and Tom had to make a new enclosure for my “Saskatoon Forest.” They chopped some of

the branches but things will survive I hope. Somebody wanted to know how to get rid of dandelions without harmful chemicals. Most people view the dandelion as a common lawn pest. But in other places and other times, it has been valued as a source of food and medicine. The bees love the flowers and they make a very tasty wine especially if it has a chance to age for a couple of years. The bright yellow flowers can be minced and added to butters and spreads for colour. The leaves are used as greens for a very early salad and the older leaves are steamed or sautéed like spinach. The leaves are also used in herbal baths and facial steams. In many parts of the world, dandelion roots are roasted as a coffee substitute. Left to grow near fruit trees, they are part of companion planting. You can also make a game of it. Set a quota of 100 plants per day. One point for the ones in blooms and 2 points for the ones with just the buds. When you have 5,000 points, go and buy a very special plant. This way you will always welcome the dandelions in your garden. If they didn’t grow on their own, you would be buying them at the plant store. I would like to share a few tips as you are starting to plant your gardens. Plants are like people. Sometimes you like some-

body right away and other times, it is more difficult. Bush beans planted in alternate rows with potatoes protect each other from insects. Bush beans also do well with cucumbers and are a good companion to strawberries. Pole beans do well with corn but they also have some pronounced dislikes such as kohlrabi and sunflower. Beets do not grow well with them but are fine with bush beans. Beebalm (Monarda) improves both the growth and flavor of tomatoes. Borage is an excellent provider of organic potassium, calcium and other natural minerals. Grow this herb in orchards and as a border for strawberry beds. Just make sure the borage remains the junior partner. Borage is said to strengthen the resistance to insects and disease of any plants neighboring it. Honeybees like to feast on the blossoms. The leaves are used raw, steamed or sautéed like spinach. The blue, star-shaped blossoms have a sweet taste and are very pretty as garnish. Sweet basil is a good companion for tomatoes. It repels mosquitoes and flies and when laid over tomatoes in a serving bowl will deter fruit flies. For more information, call 250-5584556.

Revelation Choir makes its debut CARA BRADY

Morning Star Staff

Diane Nault started thinking about the Revelation Choir twoand-a-half years ago. “Most churches don’t have choirs anymore and there is no gospel choir where people of all ages, all voices, from all churches can get together to sing. We started putting out the posters and talking about it in January and we got fantastic response,” said Diane, who is the choir leader. Her husband, Fred Nault, is the sound and equipment manager. “We have about 35 people from 15 churches. One mother brings her two young daughters. We have members from nine to 82 and some very lovely soloists,” said Diane. “The members include music teachers and people who don’t read music. It’s not auditioned, it’s for the community, people who have experience singing in choirs and people who would like to learn to sing in a choir.” At first, Diane couldn’t decide what to call the choir but decided she would know the right name when she heard it. “Our pastor was speaking on Revelations 4 where God is being praised for his holiness. I knew that was the name of the choir,” she said. She had played the piano in church since she was nine, accompanied singers

The choir sings with accompaniment professionally recorded for choirs. “I believe the Lord is bringing everyone and everything together,” said Fred. “The response has been fantastic. We are planning to perform at other places in the community and at the Rotary Carol Festival.” They are both delighted with the response and look forward to welcoming more members to the choir in the fall. “Come and hear the music

and expect to be blessed,” said Diane. The program for the concert includes well-known and contemporary gospel songs with solos and instrumentals. The group Heavenbound is the special guest. The audience will have a chance to sing with the choir at the end of the program. Visions of Heaven takes place May 27 at 2 p.m. at Emmanuel Baptist Church. Admission is free and a free-will offering will be taken. For more information call 250-260-3452 or e-mail revelation4choir@gmail.com.

Q: A:

What is meant by the term ‘mind-body’ counselling?

The term “mind-body” is the reﬂection of the fact that there is a direct relationship between our emotions & how they affect our body. Science has now proven that there is a direct relationship between our bodies & our emotions. In the 1979 movie “Manhattan” Woody Allen’s character made the statement “I don’t get angry, I grow a tumour instead.” Suppressed unhappiness, trauma or unresolved issues can manifest symptoms of illness or make existing conditions become worse. We all need someone to listen to us from time to time. Whether it is traditional counselling methods or relaxation using hypnosis (or a combo of both), it will help to bring you back into emotional balance. A place of peace and calmness that will allow you to bump up the quality of your life. Choose to change how you think & improve your level of happiness.

Q: A:

The “cloud” is simply the internet. Advances in storage technology have given us the opportunity to store ﬁles online. The advantages of the cloud include being able to access your ﬁles from anywhere on any device for example you could store your music collection online and access it from any device that is connected (computer, tablet, mp3 player, etc.). It also provides for an excellent place to keep your backup if and when something should happen to your computer. Call us and see how we can help you harness the power of the cloud.

Q: A:

RPCc, CPCA member

What are boundaries?

Like lines marking a province or country on a map, as people we have invisible lines and limits that define our personal territory - our bodies, emotions, minds, spirit, possessions, and rights. Many of us grew up with damaged or nonexistent boundaries, so we have an unclear sense of ourselves, or we have constructed thick walls around us so that people can’t get close. Some people have developed a high tolerance for pain and abuse, and don’t have a reference for what is appropriate and normal, or what hurts, and what feels good. In recovery, boundary issues is a term describing a characteristic of codependency. Part of recovery from codependency is about developing healthy boundaries. As a professional counsellor and a woman in recovery, I’d like to offer hope, encouragement, support, and education to others.

What is Qi?

Qi is best described as ‘life’s breath.’ It is the holistic and underlying vital force and substance of everyone and everything. Qi (Chee) is both physical and metaphysical; think of it like this: • Qi is the life force that acupuncturists seek to activate with their needles. • Qi is the power that a martial artist channels to split a brick. • Qi is your luck, your destiny, your fate. • Qi is your sixth sense: that ‘vibe’ you get about a particular person, place or situation. Qi has been described as ‘energy’ but it is actually the underlying information ﬁeld that gives energy its impetus to move and change. Simply put, Qi is all around you and it knows what it’s doing. You are at your best when you allow Qi to guide you: all you have to do is make yourself available to it. How do you do that? Easy: stand still and breathe deeply…

I keep forgetting things lately. I’m worried that I’m getting Alzheimer’s.

Regardless of age, everyone experiences occasional forgetfulness and even an increase in frequency of these doesn’t necessarily mean you have Alzheimer’s. In fact, if you’re aware that you’re more forgetful as of late, and can recall and describe incidents when you were forgetful, then you probably don’t have dementia. People with dementia don’t recognize they have memory loss. In fact, if you’re able to describe recent events in detail and can recall important dates within the past week then you’re aging normally. Someone with dementia is unable to recall recent events and will ﬁnd socializing more and more difﬁcult because of it. Withdrawing from social activities may be a sign of Alzheimer’s. My advice to you is to keep active, laugh at your little mistakes and continue to do those crossword puzzles, card games and other brain healthy exercises. At Nurse Next Door, we’re not only experts in dementia care, we’re here to help you live a healthy, happy life in your home.

Q: A:

What can I do over the summer to help my child retain what he has learned during the school year? Part One: Summer holidays are wonderful and necessary, but don’t let your child’s brain take a total vacation all summer! Here are some ideas to improve or maintain your child’s

reading skills: • Have your child read often, whether it be books, magazines, recipes, labels, signs - anything with words (or find motivating books for your older child to read on his own). • Visit the new library and find some interesting books to read. • Play word games like Boggle and Scrabble. These develop recognition of and expansion of word-pattern concepts. • Find an exciting thick book or series of books that your whole family will enjoy and have a “family story night” where one or two chapters are read each week, keeping the suspense going. Share the reading around the circle. • If you are concerned about your child’s reading abilities, find a great tutor who can help him improve his reading, making next school year more successful. Enjoy summer reading with your child. (Part Two answer next time.)

“Police attended and found the individual,” said RCMP Const. Kris Clark. The 20-year-old Lake Country man was still on the dock with friends and claimed that they had been using a pellet gun to shoot across the water to the other dock, not at the ducks. “The pellet gun they were using could’ve certainly been mistaken for a real firearm, even up close,” said Clark. The gun was seized by police and will be

The Lake Country RCMP seized what turned out to be a pellet gun after reports of someone shooting at ducks from the dock of a lakeside pub. The report came into RCMP Thursday at 6:30 p.m. with witnesses saying a man was on the north side of the dock at Turtle Bay Pub with what appeared to be a black handgun, and the reports indicated the man was shooting at ducks.

destroyed. No charges have been recommended. Clark said when police receive complaints about firearms, they have a duty to intervene accordingly, based on the information received. “This presents a great challenge to the police as they must respond appropriately, to ensure public safety and that of the responding officers, all the while mindful that the gun seen may not be real,” he said. “There is always the real possibility that a police officer may perceive a deadly threat and respond with irreversible consequences.” Appropriate safety measures should always be taken when using firearms, air soft guns, pellet guns, paintball guns or anything that may be perceived to be a firearm, added Clark. When transported in a vehicle, the guns should be secured in cases in the trunk and not handled by vehicle occupants. Most importantly they should only be used in designated areas only, such as gun club and paintball ranges.

Lake Country residents are urged not to let their garbage become a smorgasbord for area wildlife. This tip comes from the Regional District of Central Okanagan’s waste reduction office now that spring has arrived and bears are leaving hibernation hungry. “The best advice if you live in an area susceptible to wildlife is to reduce the risk of conflict by taking responsibility for your trash,” said Rae Stewart, waste reduction facilitator. “Bears and other animals have a keen sense of smell, so the idea is not to attract them to your garbage unnecessarily. If they find your waste, not only can they make a real

Vernon product off to Memorial Cup

Tigers track first win

KEVIN MITCHELL

Morning Star Staff

Sports Editor

The Vernon Re/Max Tigers have their first Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League win of 2012. Playing their second game in as many nights, the Cats pounced on the Kelowna Raiders 8-5 Saturday night at Wesbild Centre. Featuring an allLandels starting front line – brothers Ryan, Darryl and 14-year-old Midget call-up Thomas played as a unit – the Tigers turned in their most consistent game of the season. “This if the first in four games we played a full 60 minutes,” said Tigers’ head coach Myles Brumpton. “The boys played committed to the systems with a high compete level. We closed the door in the third period.” The Tigers, who led 2-1 after 20 minutes and were tied 5-5 after two, held Raiders sniper Scott Renner scoreless, aided by solid goaltending from Joel Fruncillo. “We were strong in all facets of the game,” said assistant coach Dave McWhirter. “Best overall team game so far. Every player came with grit and determination.” Vernon, now 1-3, used offence from Ryan Landels (2+2), Nolan Frame (2+1), captain Brett Hanna (1+2), Jay Seaton, Austin Lewarne and Darryl Landels. Thomas assisted on one of Ryan’s goals, giving each Landels a point. “You wouldn’t have known (he was a callup),” said Brumpton, of the 6-foot, 175-pound Thomas. “All the coaches were very impressed with his compete level on the floor and his lacrosse IQ. He sees the floor very well.”

Lazar cuts loose as Oil King In his 15th year as a hockey player, Curtis Lazar led Team B.C. to a gold medal in the Canada Winter Games while shattering scoring records held by Sidney Crosby and Steven Stamkos. In year 16, the Vernon product trumped the Games’ glory by boosting the Edmonton Oil Kings to a Western Hockey League championship. He turned 17 in February and tied for sixth in playoff scoring, the only rookie in the top-20. Next up for the down-to-planet forward is the MasterCard Memorial Cup in Quebec. Win or lose in Shawinigan, and Lazar will remain grounded, modest and grateful. He realizes being a solid teammate is all that matters. Lazar joined the Oil Kings for the 2011 playoffs when they were swept in the first round by Ryan NugentHopkins and the Red Deer Rebels. This year, after a 50-win regularseason, the Oil Kings won three rounds before ousting the Portland Winterhawks in seven games. Edmonton stopped the Hawks 4-1 Sunday night before a raucous crowd of 12,514 at Rexall Place. “It was an interesting year,” said Lazar, who by Monday afternoon still hadn’t truly digested the championship feeling. “I had the odd stint on the top-six (forwards) and then I was put in a checking role. I went through a slump in February without a point in 15 games and then I went into the playoffs with a clean slate and was able to get 19 points. “Credit the confidence (Derek Laxdal) the coach had in me. He won a Memorial Cup as a 16-yearold (1983 with Ray Ferraro, Cam Neely with Portland) and to see him so happy was great. “He’s hard on us and he expects a lot from you, but he helped me through a couple of rough patches. He stayed hard on me and got me going.” The Oil Kings celebrated their Ed Chynoweth Cup victory at a downtown Greek restaurant well into Monday morning. They went back to work Tuesday and flew to Quebec today. “We got the day off school (Monday) and even today, you wake up and think, ‘We won the championship, but it doesn’t feel real yet. We overachieved this year; next year is supposed to be our run. We really wanted to finish the series off Saturday night in Portland, but

He’s so poised on the ice; there is no sense of panic with him.” The Oil Kings join the host Cataractes, who haven’t played in a few weeks, the OHL champion London Knights and the Quebec league and defending Memorial Cup champion Saint John Sea Dogs at the major junior tournament, starting Friday.

United Under 14 Girls blank Blaze Morning Star Staff

Gerritt VanSoest, Hunter Housego, Joey Rodak and Tanner Imbeau enjoyed strong games on defence, while Joseph Neufeld, playing through pain, enjoyed a spirited contest with determined work on both sides of the ball. Zack Laranjo had several offensive chances but was unable to convert and Cole Johnson came close on a pair of free kicks. The Vernon boys put their final touch on the score in the second half with a hard shot by Isaiah Ondrik that burned through the keeper’s fingertips. Tane Purcell and Noah Podolski shared the shutout.

Vernon United celebrated Mother’s Day by stopping Kamloops Blaze Orange 2-0 in Thompson Okanagan Under 14 Girls Youth Soccer League play Sunday morning at McArthur Island Sports Centre. Both teams looked a little sleepy in the early going, but Vernon woke up with a goal from Reyhanna Akkurt. The Blaze finished the first half with one shot on net as United maintained control. Kamloops came out with more energy in the second half, but Vernon pushed back and Emilee Kronbauer converted a header after the keeper couldn’t control the ball from a very strong forecheck from Cayleigh Graham. Cailin Correia stepped into the midfield position for the first time and carried the ball confidently while making responsible decisions. Brianne Robertson was a great two-way player ruling the outside lanes. “Historically, we have had troubles with Kamloops, but today Vernon came out the stronger team, which is a great victory for the coaching staff and the players,” said United coach Brett Bandy. Vernon U17 Girls bowed 6-1 to the Kamloops U18 Blaze Sunday at Marshall Field #3. Allana Young scored from a sharp angle to give Vernon a brief lead before Kamloops went to work. The Vernon girls presented their mothers with pink and white roses after the game. Jordynne Tomiak, a call-up keeper from United U14, faced countless shots. In U11 Girls Rep Development action, United #2 came out strong with a 3-1 win over host Kamloops Blaze Blue before falling 3-1 to Kamloops White. Chloee Richey caught the Blaze keeper out of position and put a ball just out of reach for United’s opening goal. United dominated the first half and were unlucky when a goal-crease scramble resulted in one getting past keeper Elena Gaskell. In the second half, a clearance ball from deep in the United zone by Makena Kersey to Paige Noakes saw Noakes sail the ball past the keeper for the go-ahead tally. Julia Thompson, Ashton Cashato and Elliana Gutknecht dug deep on defence to hold the Blaze scoreless in the half. United added insurance after a great cross by Megan Sherwood was finished high by Gaskell. In Game 2, the Blaze White took United by surprise scoring just eight seconds into the game, and added another just near the end of the first half. Carly Southam played hard as keeper, and Juanita-Jean Big Plume-Bonneau was clutch on defence with two crease saves in the first half. United kept the pressure on in the second half and were rewarded when Kelsey Carriere fought hard at midfield and took a run up the right side through defenders before scoring with the help of the far goal post. Keeper Keira Correia held Vernon in the game until a late goal by Kamloops. United U11 #1 bounced the Blaze White 2-1 before tying the Blaze Orange 1-1 in their Sunday matches. Sparkling goalkeeping by Erica Simpson and Hailey Yablonski, and a strong defensive line of Kiara Haydamack, Emilia Durfeld, and Jayden Strachan rattled the Orange team.

Emily Thomas opened the scoring for Vernon with a long shot from the top of the box, while Olivia McLennan capitalized on a pass from Laryssa Fletcher for the winner. The heat didn’t slow the girls down in Game 2 as they dug deep for a draw. End-toend action saw Nadia Smith and Gabrielle Triggs distribute the ball well up the field, while forwards Grace Atkins and Mia Dougan kept the pressure on the Kamloops defence. McClennan, Thomas and Talia Quiring showed great endurance with their offensive runs which finally paid off as Quiring managed to get a shot past the keeper. United keeper Danica Ariano kept Kamloops off the scoreboard in the first half, while Yablonski, who took over in net, held off the Blaze until late into the second.

United topples top-rated Selects The United U16 Boys brushed back the top-seeded Shuswap Selects 2-1 Sunday in Salmon Arm. Under the superb guidance of NOYSA technical director Claire Paterson, United displayed excellent offensive and consistent defensive skills all 90 minutes. The boys took a commanding 2-0 lead in the first half and with extra bodies now back on the bench, the team’s endurance and skilful play has returned to very competitive levels. The attack was very strong and Richard Fogarty had a tremendous game with two beautiful goals. The other star of the game was keeper Sean Bradbury, who repeatedly stymied Shuswap with superb stops.

Development squad strings wins In U12 Boys Rep Development play in Salmon Arm, United #2 grounded the Kamloops White 3-1 before ambushing Shuswap 10-0. Vernon opened the scoring versus Kamloops about 10 minutes in after a sweet corner by Braeden Cooper was headed in by Ben Purvis. Solid defence was turned in by Mika

The U11 United #2 Boys played to a 2-2 draw against Kamloops Orange Sunday at Marshall Field. United striker Zack Smith opened the scoring midway through the first half, taking a nice feed from Liam Glennon and burying it low to the corner. Kamloops replied just before the break. United came out strong in the second half, scoring early on a beautiful three-pass goal. Lucas Wood started in his own half, fed the ball wide to Sheldon Yakura who put a sweet through ball to Smith who crossed it from the left side to a streaking Glennon for the swift finish. “That was our best goal of the year,” said coach Sean Smith. “We had four boys touch the ball and all controlled the ball and made the right decisions.” Kamloops controlled play for the remainder of the half and eventually got the equalizer with about 10 minutes to play. “Logan Quibell was outstanding for us in net all game and allowed us to come away with a tie,” said Smith.

Burns, Adam Raber, Dylan Huber, Jarrod Latta, Steven Benischek and Declan Stevenson. Vernon, coached by Roy Cooper, converted just before the half when Huber nodded in a corner by Cooper. United held on tight for three consecutive dangerous corners by Kamloops and then Brendan Yakura scored dribbling through the Kamloops defence after a throw-in by Cooper. Noah Schneider was solid in net, allowing a high ball in the final minutes to spoil the clean sheet.

Vees return with RBC cup KRISTI PATTON Black Press

LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR

Ryan Sarazin (middle) of the Vernon Re/Max Tigers fires on Kelowna Raiders’ netminder Evan Richtsfeld before Cody Ridden can intercept in Junior B lacrosse action Saturday night at Wesbild Centre.

Rocks cancel Thursday game Continued from A26 The McMillan boys, Cam (2) and Andrew, accounted for three of Kelowna’s goals, with Tyson Schoenthall and Nick Evans each chipping in a goal and assist. The Raiders dipped to 1-1-2. Vernon received a big boost with the return of Bayne Bosquet, who recently returned from his freshman field lacrosse season with the

Simon Fraser University Clan. Meanwhile, the 2-1-1 Armstrong Shamrocks have notified the TOJLL they have cancelled their Thursday-night game at Nor-Val Sports Centre against the 2-0 Kamloops Rattlers. The team cited a lack of personnel due to injury, sickness and personal commitments. It was unknown at press time whether the game will be rescheduled.

About 200 fans gathered at the South Okanagan Events Centre Monday to welcome home the national Junior A hockey champion Penticton Vees. Cheers erupted as the Vees stepped off the bus hoisting the Royal Bank Cup, even more so when Pentictonborn players Cody Depourcq and Logan Johnston took their turn with the trophy. Vees’ head coach Fred Harbinson spoke highly of the Penticton fans, some of which yelled “great job” and “way to go Fred” as he came off the bus Monday night. “They have been unbelievable all the way through,” said Harbinson. “Since Christmas time I don’t think we have had a crowd under 2,000 and in the playoffs, round three, and in the last game, almost 5,000. They have been a big push for us when we need that push. “We had a great group of people that came out and supported us in Humboldt and we hear about all the things going on back home people going to the SOEC or just going to the bars and watching the games. This town deserves a lot of credit and they definitely deserve this championship.” After losing their first two games of the tournament, the Vees bounced back. Michael Garteig shut the door in the semifinal helping the Vees to a 3-0 win over the Soo Thunderbirds, send-

ing them to Sunday’s final against the Woodstock Slammers. The Vees took a 2-0 lead in the final but the Slammers went ahead 3-2 in the third period. Bryce Gervais scored late in the game to equalize and then Joey Benik netted the powerplay winner with just 50 seconds left. Vernon’s Alex Jewell, 17, jumped on the celebatory dogpile in his civvies after the championship game. Jewell got in three RBC games. “When we scored that goal, it was such an emotional moment,” Jewell told The Morning Star. “It was unreal. I was so happy for all the guys. They certainly deserved it for all the hard work they did.” Jewell said the Vees celebrated on burgers, chicken and fries at the same Humboldt restaurant they dined at all week. “Then we all went back to one room back at the hotel; nothing crazy.” Jewell is back in Vernon, attending Grade 12 at Kalamalka Secondary. He plays Friday night in the opening Vees’ spring camp scrimmage. Vees’ fan Jean Mitchell showed up to greet the team and the RBC Cup on Monday dressed in a white t-shirt with the Vees logo on the front and the autographs of all the players on the back. After three years of following the team, she decided to get season tickets in section 108 this year. “I sit right behind the bench and I love it. I got their backs so to speak.”

Legends uncover gold Morning Star Staff

The North Okanagan Midget Legends struck gold at the Snakebite Classic Minor Lacrosse Tournament and they had to sweep a trio of host Kamloops teams to earn it. Down to 11 runners, and with rookie Marlon Forest standing in for injured keeper Tyler Landry, the Legends pulled an 11-10 comeback win over Kamloops #2 in Sunday’s gold-medal game. “He stood on his head,” said coach Dave DeShane, or Forest’s Heart & Hustle performance. With the Legends trailing 5-1 after 20 minutes, DeShane, assisted by his son Steve, was forced to tweak his systems. “We switched to a zone defence and just shut them down,” said Dave. “It was really quite amazing; we were teaching on the fly.” Mike Hanley paced the Legends with four goals and two assists, captain Jake Thomson recorded the team’s first three goals and game MVP Kalob Fox Mitchell Anderson and each had a pair. North Okanagan doubled Kamloops #3 4-2 in semifinal action

earlier Sunday. Hanley buried a pair to earn game MVP, Thomson added 1+3 and Sam Hanley added a single. In Saturday action, Landry posted back-to-back shutouts as North Okanagan blanked Quesnel 6-0, and then grounded Kamloops #1 2-0. “To go into Kamloops and steal three games form our arch rivals...I can’t say enough about the whole team,” said Steve. The Legends opened the tournament with a disappointing 6-3 loss to the North Shore Indians. In Bantam play at the Snakebite, the Legends held on for a 6-5 win over Shuswap to secure bronze. North Okanagan built a 5-1 lead, but with their bench shrinking due to injuries, Shuswap took advantage and pulled to within a goal. Offence came from Darien Ottersen (2+1), Jordan Barr (2G), Shelby Connors and Stephane Richard. Chase Wirth had an assist. In round-robin play, the Legends grounded Surrey’s Semiahoo 7-2, tied Langley 7-7 and pounded Kamloops #2 13-3 to finish atop their pool. They fell 6-5 to Langley

in the semis. The North Okanagan Nor-Val Rentals Bantam #3 squad improved to 4-5 with a pair of weekend wins over the Kelowna Kodiaks in Rutland. The Legends took advantage of the shortbenched Kodiaks to win 10-2 in the opener, and 13-3 in the back end of the doubleheader. Brady Marzocco (4G), Jake Pelletier (3+2), Conor Webb (2G) and Cole Martin handled the scoring in the first game. Assists came from Jack Lambert (2), Niklas Luttmerding and netminder Brad Gorrigan. In the second game, Webb led the way with 5+3, Pelletier had 3+1, Marzocco added three goals and Luttmerding supplied 2+1. Assists came from Lambert (2), Nicholas Mann, Gorrigan and Tyson Reschke. Gorrigan was stellar in net for both games, and Lambert was fearless in going to the tough areas. In Pee Wee play, the Legends took both ends of their Saturday doubleheader against host Kelowna, winning 13-5 and 13-4.

Kayden Beauregard (3), Tanner FranjeGilbert (3), Reece Hawthorne (2), Thomas Mackiewhich (2), Samual White, Josh Melbourne and Kael Black all got in on the offence.

Rhys Larsen, Macey Drabiuk and Eric Urquhart turned in stellar twoway efforts. On Sunday, the Legends showed up in Penticton with just nine runners and fell 11-3. Francis, Beauregard and Waterstreet netted singles

Humpbacks bank shutout against North Country Morning Star Staff

The Leko Precast Camels grounded the North Country Appraisals Kickers 3-0 in Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League action Wednesday night at Marshall Field. The Camels (4-1) carried the majority of play against the shorstaffed Kickers (2-2-1) and opening the scoring at 20 minutes when striker Al Murphy deflected a Rick Raber shot from near the 18. Defender Jeff Vest, who took the Pepsi Man of the Match, made it 2-0 early in the second half when he delivered a free kick pass from Al Betton, low, right corner, from 20 yards. Striker Gordie Howard

went top shelf from the left side, five minutes later. Humpback keeper Dave Dutcher stopped Fritz Berenyi on an early breakaway and had to backpedal and tip a spinning shot over the bar for his second straight clean sheet. The Silver Stars stayed near the top of the table by clipping Cantina’s 2-0 in Kelowna. The Stars (3-0-2) started the game with only nine runners against a Cantina’s team that was celebrating alumni night with a stacked bench of 18 (Bill Graham showed up late and took a minute to finish his cigarette before stepping onto the pitch).

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If you discover that others are ready and willing to help you, drop everything and take them up on their offer. Chances are it?ll be a golden opportunity. CANCER (June 21-July 22) It isn?t likely you?ll find a better day to confront an individual about a prickly issue that needs resolution. By taking advantage of opportune timing, beneficial results can be achieved. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Utilize your strong feelings of ambition and motivation to take care of several largescale objectives. It?s the strong desire to succeed that powers the engine of success. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) If you put your best foot forward, certain people with whom you?ll be in contact socially will happily agree to play some important roles in your present activities. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Because no one knows your needs better than you, it will be up to you to orchestrate what measures should be taken to enhance your overall material security. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) For reasons you may not fully understand, your influence over your peers could be very powerful at this point in time. Keep your comments as constructive as possible. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Although it generally isn?t advisable, in your case it?s OK to involve

people with whom you share a close personal relationship in your business ventures. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You should finally be able to come up with a way to circumvent an obstacle in your path. Be ready, because it will require a surge of activity on your part. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) It could be vital to keep your ideas and intentions confined only to those who are directly involved in an important endeavor on which you?re working. Secrecy is a must. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Be open-minded to a new way of doing something that might be superior to your present method. Be flexible in mind and keep your options open, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll come out ahead. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Although each might require a bit of effort, several important objectives can be attained. Don?t hesitate to go all out in order to achieve what you want.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder TAKE MATTERS INTO YOUR OWN CARDS Former U.S. Sen. Robert Foster Bennett said, “A desire to be in charge of our own lives, a need for control, is born in each of us. It is essential to our mental health, and our success, that we take control.” Each defensive deal usually fits into one of three scenarios. Most of the time, a good player can work out how to defeat the contract and, with his signals, can tell his partner what to do -- as long as partner is watching and interpreting correctly, of course. Occasionally the good player will not be sure what to do. For example, he might not know if his partner has the heart king or has the diamond king. Then the

expert must hope that his partner comes up with the right answer. In the third situation, one player can see how to defeat the contract and can take total control to achieve that end -- as in this deal. What should East do when West leads the club king against four spades? North has a textbook threespade game-invitational limit raise. And South has an automatic raise to game. The defenders need four tricks to defeat the contract -- something that should be foremost in each defender’s mind. East can hope for one diamond and three clubs if West has led from a threecard suit. However, there is an alternative chance: one diamond, two clubs and one

diamond ruff. East should take charge, overtaking partner’s lead with his ace. He then cashes the diamond ace before returning his club two (lowest of three remaining cards). It ought to be easy for West to take that trick and to give his partner a diamond ruff for down one.

Low-income individuals gain access to computer world Morning Star Staff

A local partnership is breaking down barriers to ensure those in need gain essential computer skills in this technologicallyadvanced day in age. UBC Okanagan has teamed up with

Interior Savings to provide computer skills through its Learning Exchange program low-income individuals and those struggling with homelessness. Interior Savings Credit Union has donated $25,000 to get

the program online with 20 laptops. Through the work of the Learning Exchange at UBC’s Okanagan campus and community partners, the need for such a program was identified and Interior Savings stepped up to

provide the funding while UBC students will provide the training. “Interior Savings has seen the value in the work we do in collaboration with community partners right from the start.

Their support allows us to create innovative and outside-thebox projects and programs,” said Phil Bond, Learning Exchange manager at UBC’s Okanagan campus. “What I like about this program is it

removes the barriers for individuals who are looking to improve their computer skills, and puts them into a comfortable environment.” Bond adds that early feedback from students “is very positive, they are really enjoying the opportunity to give back to the community and are learning about themselves in the process.” The capital support from Interior Savings made the program possible. “As a locally based credit union, our success is closely tied to the health and vitality of the communities we serve,” said Kathy Conway, president and CEO of Interior Savings. “The UBC Learning Exchange provides a unique opportunity for us to support students in their efforts to strengthen the com-

munity. “Computer skills are so important in today’s work force and for day-to-day tasks in general. “The Computer Literacy Program will give students realworld experience, reinforce community values and provide valuable training for people who otherwise couldn’t afford it.” The program will be sustainable and plans are to offer it for many years with multiple community partners focused on expanding opportunities for the clients. The financial institution also contributed $5,000 to the Interior Savings Lifelong Learner Bursary for students who have one or more dependents and are returning to post-secondary education after a pause in their studies of a year or more.
