Flares cause scare in Polson Park ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Vernon RCMP, with help from City of Vernon bylaw officers, defused a potentially explosive situation in Polson Park Tuesday. Officers cordoned off and evacuated the park just after 9 a.m. after receiving a report of a man trying to sell what was believed to be dynamite in the park. The individual was located by police and taken into custody, and a Vancouver-based RCMP bomb disposal unit had been called to be flown up to investigate. “A package with something in it was located in the park,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk at a 10 a.m. media conference Tuesday. By the end of the conference, police had determined that their suspicions of the package containing railway flares was correct, and the bomb disposal unit was told to stand down. “The individual claims he found the package alongside the tracks,” said Molendyk. The man, 18, from Vernon, was still in custody as of noon Tuesday. The park reopened to the public shortly after 10 a.m.

An RCMP officer holds up police tape to allow a couple of park-goers to exit Polson Park, which was evacuated Tuesday morning as police investigated what was thought to be dynamite, but turned out to be railway flares. Closing the park was done as a precautionary measure while police investigated the report of dynamite.
The Okanagan Science Centre was in the process of receiving its new water exhibit Tuesday morning from two huge semi trucks
when everybody was told they had to leave the park. “All they said was they were investigating a bomb threat,” said
Sandi Dixon with the science centre. The Vernon Community Arts Centre was also evacuated.
BX home destroyed
RICHARD ROLKE/MORNING STAR
A BX Road home was gutted by flames Monday evening, but no one was home at the time.
It’s undetermined what led to flames consuming a Vernon home. A fire was reported in the 1000 block of BX Road just after 11:30 p.m. Monday. “We’re still in the preliminary investigation stage at this point,” said Dean Wakefield, an investigator with the Vernon Fire Department. It is not believed to be suspicious though. “We have to get inside and have a good look at things,” said Wakefield. Crew from both the Vernon and BX-Swan Lake departments responded to the scene.

“The fire was quite entrenched,” said Bill Wacey, BX-Swan Lake chief. “The flames were 35 to 40 feet in the air when we got there. There was nothing we could do. It was completely gutted.” Getting on to the property proved challenging. “There’s really difficult access with a long driveway. Eventually we got into operation,” said Wacey. The tenants were away at the time of the fire and it’s not known if they had content insurance. Firefighters are also trying to determine how the roof of a shed caught fire in the 1200 block of 40th Avenue Saturday. ELIGIB ELI GIBLE GIB LE MEMBER MEMMBER ME BERSS RECE RECE EC IVE

News Driver ejected from truck
Highway 97 beautification within sight
STAMPEDE TRADITION
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A local politician wants to transform a high-profile transportation corridor. BX-Swan Lake director Bob Fleming has initiated a campaign to beautify the east side of Highway 97 between Mike Rosman RV and Art Knapp Plantland. “It’s derelict,� he said of the public highway right-of-way. “A lot of material is dead and it’s full of Canada thistle.� The centre median along the highway was upgraded in 2009 through the efforts of Swan Lake Bob Fleming Nurseryland and the City of Vernon. But the shoulders on both the west and east sides were not done and have been deteriorating ever since the Ministry of Transportation ceased maintenance as part of budget cuts. Fleming has developed a design for his project and it will include irrigation lines, trees and decorative rock. The total project cost is $23,233 and about $13,290 has been donated so far. “I am hoping to get support from business on this,� said Fleming, who is a professional landscaper. “No one I have asked for support has declined.� Fleming’s constituents are also participating through the Regional District of North Okanagan. “Some of my discretionary funds are being used,� he said.
ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Things didn’t go as planned for an Alberta teen driver as he tried to wake one of his passengers. RCMP report the 17-year-old male from Cochrane was driving a 1985 GMC pick-up southbound Sunday just before 9 p.m. on Highway 97A near Enderby when the truck slid off the road. “The driver wanted to wake up one of his passengers so he jerked the steering wheel, causing it to swerve,� said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “The driver lost control as the truck slid on the wet road surface and went down a short embankment.� The driver was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the vehicle. He was transported to Shuswap Lake General Hospital in Salmon Arm with a concussion and other unknown injuries. A female passenger suffered bruises to her arms and legs, and a male passenger received a cut below an eyebrow. Everybody involved is either 17 or 18 and from Alberta. The driver was issued Motor Vehicle Act violations of failing to wear a seatbelt and driving without consideration.

Pickup truck plows into fruit stand ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Five minutes earlier, her two small children had been playing in the vacant family fruit stand.
Learn About Your Neck Pain.
At 4:45 p.m. May 15, the fruit stand owner called RCMP to say a white Chevy pickup truck crashed into the fruit stand in the 4900 block of Grandview Flats Road in Spallumcheen. “Police attended and the truck was still there,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “Our officers determined the driver was impaired by alcohol.
The officers obtained breath samples which showed the suspect blew more than threeand-a-half times the legal limit.” Police say the suspect has a history of impaired driving. A 44-year-old Armstrong man was taken into custody. He was then released on a promise to appear in court July 12.

Excessive speed draws attention ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Maybe the driver was in a hurry to get to town. An RCMP member stopped a northbound car on Highway 97 near Bailey Road, south of Vernon, just before 7 p.m. Sunday after the car was clocked at a speed of 138 km/hour in a 90 km/hour zone. The driver was given a ticket and the vehicle was impounded for excessive speed. Police said the driver also exhibited symptoms of alcohol involvement, and was given a roadside breath test. The driver blew in the “warn” area and was given a three-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition.
Over the long weekend, NOTS and officers from the Integrated Road Safety Unit issued 47 speeding tickets (including the one for excessive speeding). There were two impaired drivers, and one was issued a one-day IRP. Two drivers were given 24-hour suspensions for alcohol and one was issued for drugs. There were five motorists ticketed for not wearing seatbelts, one car had no insurance and there were three liquor violations. Police issued 14 other warnings to drivers. Over the past week in Vernon and the North Okanagan, there were five impaired drivers, five, three-day IRPs and six vehicles were impounded.

injuries when their rental car rolled on Westside Road Monday. RCMP received a report of an accident about 10 kilometres south of La Casa resort at about 3:50 p.m. “Emergency crews responded but found the family of four to be uninjured,” said Cst. Kris Clark, RCMP spokesperson. The driver, a 35-yearold man from the United Kingdom, was driving northbound on Westside Road in a Ford Explorer when he apparently caught the shoulder and went into the ditch. The man, his wife and two children were all taken to the hospital as a precaution due to the children’s young ages (two years old and seven months old). “Driver inattention is believed to be a factor in the crash,” said Clark.

Cherryville concert praised RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A fledgling outdoor festival is getting top marks for its advanced preparations. Regional District of North Okanagan officials are pleased with planning for the Whomp Music and Arts Festival July 14 near Cherryville. “It sounds like they’re really organized,� said Eugene Foisy, director for the area. “They picked the right spot because there are no neighbours right nearby.� The adult-only, overnight Eugene Foisy event will be held on private land at Creighton Valley and Eight Mile roads, about five minutes from Echo Lake. “We want to respect the neighbours,� said Graham Tabaczuk, with the Vernon-based Electrofunk Collective, which is organizing the event. Liability insurance will cover 1,000 people but about 400 to 500 are expected to attend. “The RCMP have been informed of our plans and we have hired a private security firm to be on site,� said Tabaczuk, adding the event will be alcohol-free. “Security will search for alcohol, drugs and weapons.� A parking strategy has been developed while there will also be on-site camping on site and an

t may be good enough for 900 million members around the world, but not the Regional District of North Okanagan. RDNO officials are refuting the suggestion they should have a presence on Facebook. “We’re stretched for staff,” said Trafford Hall, administrator. “Facebook is not a trivial thing. Every time someone puts something up, we must respond.” Director Kevin Acton insists Facebook can encourage false information and back-andforth arguments. “You engage everyone to write whatever they want for everyone to see,” he said. The debate arose after director Jackie Pearase suggested that social media is a way of providing the public informaRichard Rolke tion. “It’s a good tool for certain projects. You can reach a lot of different people than just through face-to-face,” she said. One can understand the bureaucratic reluctance because staff time would be required to keep a Facebook page updated — and that must occur if it’s to remain relevant — and to scrutinize anything outside sources have posted. However, those concerns don’t appear to have stopped other local governments from embracing the shift in communications. The Regional District of Central Okanagan and District of Lake Country have extensive Facebook pages. There is also Kelowna, Kamloops, Penticton, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District, West Kelowna, Salmon Arm, Sicamous and Okanagan Regional Library. The list goes on and on. Obviously some of these jurisdictions have communications officers who deal with Facebook as part of their regular duties. But others don’t have a specific position and handle public information, like press releases,
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
off the side of an existing desk just like RDNO currently does. The reality is Facebook is simply another way of making residents aware of the activities of government. Here’s a brief example: Central Okanagan: Open burning season Ends April 30. Lake Country: Crews are starting prep work for sidewalk restoration at the following locations... Salmon Arm: Water main flushing is commencing in the Auto Road area starting tomorrow May 17. Many of the public postings on government Facebook pages are innocuous — praising municipal staff or promoting special events. Rarely is there a need for a staff member to actually respond. And while misinformation can appear, there’s an immediate opportunity for rebuttal on Facebook. That’s far better than being unable to address rumours circulating in coffee shops or on the street corner. Because the jurisdiction establishes the Facebook page, it has complete control over what appears there. It should also be pointed out that some people may not write a letter to government or pick up the phone because they find the process intimidating. But they may be inclined to go on to the computer and bang off a quick comment while they are relaxing within their own home. New technology can break down barriers and make all of us more approachable, and that’s certainly the case among young people — the very same demographic all governments have a challenge forming firm relationships with. RDNO recently spent considerable time updating its website and while it is far more navigable, that isn’t good enough in a rapidly changing world. More and more people are joining Facebook, Twitter and other social media, and increasingly, they expect their civic leaders to be there.
There’s more evidence the Ministry of Transportation is shirking its responsibilities. Bob Fleming, a Regional District of North Okanagan director, is organizing businesses to beautify the east side of Highway 97 along the Swan Lake corridor. Fleming and those involved deserve significant credit for wanting Vernon’s northern gateway to look its best. And their efforts particularly warrant praise because they are doing something not expected of them. Current conditions are a direct result of the ministry abandoning right-of-away maintenance years ago because of budget constraints. Not only are dead trees and weeds unsightly, they pose a safety threat and weeds could spread to adjacent lands, creating problems for farmers. By addressing its own monetary woes, the provincial government has downloaded the problem on to local taxpayers and businesses. Keep in mind that these two groups already pay for ministry activities through taxes. And to add insult to injury, the ministry is creating roadblocks for those picking up the slack. Specifically, the Vernon Collectors Club will no longer pick up trash along Highway 97 because the government has refused to improve safety conditions for volunteers. The non-profit group also has to dig deep into its own pockets to come up with liability insurance. It is time for Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster and Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom to openly explain why the government is not fulfilling its obligations in the North Okanagan and elsewhere in the province. But such action is unlikely because it’s become too easy for the Ministry of Transportation to sit on the sidelines and let someone else do its job.

Defining a conservative
I
agree with every word of the excellent letter written by Jim Miles in response to Scott Anderson's remarks about “real conservatives” and the conservative philosophy of “liberty and selfsufficiency.” Mr. Anderson's comments concern me in other ways as well, since he seems to believe that there is only one conservative philosophy that all “real conservatives” subscribe to. This is a complete misconception as every country and society will have its conservatives and they will not all be the same. It depends entirely on the country in question. The basic definition of conservative in the Canadian Dictionary of the English Language is, “favouring traditional views and values.” The definition of conservatism is, “the inclination especially in politics to maintain the existing or traditional order." Conservatives are simply those who follow and maintain the traditions of their own society. There is no such thing as a “real conservative.” Obviously the traditions and values of different countries vary greatly, so it would be impossible for one conservative philosophy to fit them all. I have been disturbed by how often those with beliefs appear to be ignorant of the political history of Canada and of the history of the
Canadian Conservative Party. Many conservative groups in western countries do share a distrust of government activism, but not all by any means. That is particularly true of Canada which historically was built by activist governments. One of the most activist was the conservative regime of Sir John A. Macdonald, the father of our country. He introduced a planned economy (seems quite socialist to me) called the National Policy. This was very successful at the time and set the stage for activist governments of the future both federal and provincial. Then of course, there was the way we acquired the railroad and you can't get much more activist than that. Macdonald was not only the father of our country, he was the father of activist government
MONEY ISSUES Re: Armstrong Grills RDNO Over Bill – Morning Star April 27. As reported, and I quote, Armstrong council is, “upset with a $17,500 increase in its solid waste bill.” Council is also upset with the building inspection function. Furthermore, council is upset with the $69,000 regional district transit bill. Council states, “that’s a huge amount for a city our size.” Yet this very same council, representing our very small city with its very small tax base, is more than willing to spend the huge amount of $675,000 on a water metering program which residents state is not necessary and not wanted.
in Canada. That is part of Canada's tradition of conservatism. Even before he became prime minister, Macdonald repeatedly remarked that, “what we need in this party are more progressive conservatives.” Others agreed with him and finally the name was made official in 1942. Long before the name change, those conservatives of the past were often very progressive. For example the earliest form of the CBC was set up by a Conservative government in 1932. A Conservative government also established the Canadian Wheat Board in 1935, one of the most successful pieces of legislation ever enacted. This progressive approach was another part of Canada's own conservative tradition. Now no longer “progressive" (what a slap in the face for Sir John
Our roads are in terrible shape. We have no youth facilities. In fact, we have a huge drug problem amongst our youth. We should be using this money to address the very real problems this community faces. Oh wait a minute. Council’s solution to the drug problem in Armstrong was to issue a proclamation supporting the decriminalization of marijuana. Even councillor/teacher Paul Britton voted in favour of decriminalization. He, of all people, should be aware of the devastation drugs have on our youth. This council is out of touch with reality. Robert W. Thibeau
A.), Stephen Harper, and Preston Manning before him, created a party that has abandoned Canadian conservative traditions and values, and has embraced the far more right-wing conservative beliefs of a foreign country, the U.S. Some might view this as an insulting and unpatriotic betrayal. After all, according to the definition, a conservative is supposed to maintain the traditions of his or her own country, not the traditions of the country next door. Harper and his followers have done the exact opposite, so by rights should not be called Canadian conservatives at all. If they changed their name to the “Republican Party North,” that at least would reflect what they truly represent. Their ideology and most of their policies are unmistakably rightwing Republican, so this would be most appropriate. Unfortunately, their present actions continue to tarnish the name of a once great party that was instrumental in building Canada. Sir John A. Macdonald would be appalled by the Americanization of his beloved party. To have this agenda carried out by those who call themselves Canadian conservatives would be the ultimate insult. Poor Sir John A. must be whirling in his grave. Sharon Ramsdale
SUPPORT BILL Would it bother you if your country didn't have laws to protect some human life? If some people were defined as non-human and therefore had no protection? Consider that we have an arbitrary law, not based on facts or science, that says when a child is completely born it is a human and has rights but one hour before, it is not a human and has no rights. MP Stephen Woodworth has put forward a private member's bill — motion 312 — to examine the humanity of children in the womb. Please take this opportunity to examine the facts and seek the truth on the issue. Alex deBoersap

Studio sets sail with Pirates of Penzance Some familiar voices dig up this treasure from Gilbert and Sullivan KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Gilbert and Sullivan have been a gift to the world of musical theatre now and back in Victorian times when the British duo were in their prime. However, their verbose songs, thanks to librettist W. S. Gilbert, have tripped up many a singer’s tongue. Just ask poor Brian Martin, a well-known broadcaster who cohosts the Sunrise Show on Vernon’s Sun FM. Those who listen to Martin every morning know the guy can talk, but he can also sing, and for the past few years he has entered the foray of musical theatre under the direction of professional soprano Melina Moore, who runs the Valley Vocal Arts (VVA) studio out of Vernon. Martin, who appeared as the rather effeminate Carmen Ghia in last year’s VVA production of The Producers, is this year taking on the role of the very model of a modern Major-General in Gilbert and Sullivan’s ode to high seas adventure, The Pirates of Penzance. And he’s got to sing, in comic baritone, the classic ditty where Major-General Stanley espouses “I’m very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical, I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical, About binomial theorem I’m teeming with a lot o’ news, With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.” It’s enough to make one lose his voice –– forever. “I am worried about the words, I always am,” Martin confesses. “I am definitely out of my comfort zone. When I get up to speak, it’s
KRISTIN FRONEMAN /MORNING STAR
Valley Vocal Arts cast Don Cecile as Samuel, left, Karen Bliss as Ruth, Andrew Nydam as Frederic, Annalysa Tylor as Mabel, Scott May as the Pirate King, Brian Martin as the Major-General, Michael Gairns as the Sergeant of Police, and Jeannine Kuemmerle, back left, Vicki Proulx and Susan Evans as The Pointer Sisters, get ready for Gilbert and Sullivan’s swashbuckling opera, The Pirates of Penzance. fine, but singing is a different animal for me. I am scared, but once I get up there, I’ll get over it. I can hide behind the character.” Martin and his fellow castaways, make that castmates, which includes the whole studio –– more than 50 singers from the VVA’s youngest students to its more “mature” –– have been busy memorizing words, while adding dramatic, at times, over-the-top flair to the notoriously silly opera. “We’ve amped up the silliness, and have added a few pop culture references to bring it more into the modern day,” said Annalysa Tylor, who plays lead Mabel, one of Major-General Stanley’s 12 daughters and paramour to Frederic.
Tylor has memorized everyone else’s lines and runs through the plot as if she was reliving the play when G&S first staged it at New York’s Fifth Avenue Theatre on New Year’s Eve in 1879. For the Wikipedia version, Pirates of Penzance follows young Frederic (played here by tenor Andrew Nydam, who last year was shy accountant Leo Bloom in The Producers), who on his 21st birthday is released from pirate duty after being mistakenly brought on board their ship when he was eight. (His hard-of-hearing nursemaid, Ruth, played by Karen Bliss, thought he was meant to be apprenticed as a pirate when it was supposed to be a pilot.)
After meeting the MajorGeneral and his daughters, he falls in love with young Mabel, but things get a little tricky when he finds out his true birthday, and so he finds himself pulled between his true love and his band of pirate friends, led by the bumbling but lovable Pirate King (Scott May, Jean Valjean in VVA’s Les Miserables two years ago). “This is The Producers of its time,” said Bliss, who last year took on the unpronounceable named Swedish secretary in The Producers. “It’s a challenging musical for us both vocally and physically.” “It’s also the most classical production we’ve done so far,” added Nydam. “There’s a ton of humour
and energy in the production.” Leading the troupe is Moore, who is not only preparing her wards with words and encouragement, she is the musical accompanist, and plays the piano during the whole production. Pirates is occurring before and after many other engagements the soprano is participating in this year, including performances at Sparkling Hill Wellness Resort, and the first annual International Pacific Tattoo Festival in Victoria. Following that, Moore is off to Crete, Greece to sing at the second Mediterranean Festival of the Arts with musical theatre/Phantom of the Opera legend Peter Karrie. “This is by far the most challenging show I’ve produced and directed with my singers,” she said about Pirates. “It is vocally demanding and a marathon of stamina. However, I think it’s also the most fun. “I’ve chosen to direct this show as I believe Gilbert and Sullivan would have, if they were alive today. It isn’t necessarily for the G&S purist, but rather a hilarious, irreverent parody, and a laugh-a-minute.” Thankfully Moore has help behind the scenes including costume designer Kelowna’s Hazel Rodgers, who worked for more than a decade with the “late” Viva Musica; Dave Brotsky on lights; stage manager Jessika LaFramboise, who previously produced/directed The Vagina Monologues in Vernon; Caroline Dehner and Crystal Badach, who both work in the Canadian film industry, on wigs and make-up; former Valley Vocal Arts student Mary Ouwendyk on sets,; and Sandra Larsen who Moore says continues to keep her sane. The Pirates of Penzance will take the stage for three nights only at the Powerhouse Theatre on May 31, June 1 and 2 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25/adult, $22.50/student (under 16) and senior (over 60), available at the Ticket Seller box office, 5497469, www.ticketseller.ca.
Local guitarist to share music and film events with community Morning Star Staff
Whether hiking his favourite rocky outcrop overlooking Kalamalka Lake, meditating, or strumming his guitar, Chris Madsen is always looking for a way to share what he has learned. The former music school owner is about to host a number of events open to the public, which combine music with the spiritual understanding he has accrued the last few years of meditative and continued guitar practice. “In the past number of years, I have focused on emerging the music as a solo
acoustic artist. That mainly has been about inward journeys and daily long hikes in Kal Park, shoreline meditations, and countless hours discovering the treasures hidden within the six strings,” he said. “The past several years has been time for these inward journeys and thus have given myself permission to not be very public doing concerts. That time is now over, the grand song is blossoming with gifts to share.” The first event takes place Friday at 7:30 p.m. at The Hub Arts Collective, next to the Towne Theatre, which will be an evening of solo acoustic guitar. Admission is free.
Madsen has also booked the Powerhouse Theatre to show the film Thrive, which explores everything from organic farming to banking to new energy sources as a way to a sustainable future for mankind. “Every Vernon resident needs to see this movie. It goes into many areas that are pertinent to each of our daily lives,” he said. “It goes into why things are the way they are now and offers awesome solutions on how we individually can be the change we wish to see in the world.” Showtimes are June 8 and 9 at 7:30 p.m. and June 10 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $15.50
general admission, available at the Ticket Seller. Call 250-549-7469 or order online at www.ticketseller.ca. Madsen will also be hosting free Sunday gatherings at Polson Park by the rose garden. Starting at 12:30 p.m., participants are welcome to explore drumming, flow dancing, yoga, music, and other artistic endeavours every week. “It’s a perfect time for families as little munchkins can run around,” he said. Those wanting more information can contact Madsen through his website at www. chrismadsen.com.

The Vernon Film Society is pleased to present the next film of the 2012 spring season, The Deep Blue Sea, showing at the Vernon Towne Cinema on Monday. A special presentation at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival, the film is a product of post-war England, a favourite time period for director Terence Davies. An adaptation of a famous play by British playwright Terence Rattigan, the film features one of the greatest roles for an actress in modern theatre –– Peggy Ashcroft and Vivien Leigh have both starred in it. Joining them is actress Rachel Weisz (The Whistleblower) playing Hester Collyer, the former wife of a judge, now the almost abandoned lover of a drunken Second World War pilot. She attempts suicide to win him back and perhaps to send a message to her former husband. Flashbacks take the audience into wartime Britain, while the unrelenting focus on Weisz reminds us of the desperation of the British people, struggling to rebuild their society after a calamitous war and the
loss of an empire. The Rolling Stone calls the film “...a haunting and hypnotic tale of love gone wonderfully right and wrenchingly wrong.”
The Deep Blue Sea will be shown at the Towne Monday at 5:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. Tickets are $7, available at the door and one week ahead at the theatre and the Bean Scene.

The Vernon chapter of Habitat for Humanity is pleased with what the organization has been able to accomplish in the community, including building affordable housing and providing a place to recycle donations building materials. The sale of the donated, new and used building materials is one of the organization’s main fundraisers and also helps people in the community with the cost of home repairs they might not be able to afford otherwise. This saves unwanted building products from being wasted in the landfill. The chapter has outgrown its present space and is now looking for new storage space that will allow it to also have regular garage sales. A fairly centrally located, affordable or donated, small warehouse would meet the need and let Habitat continue its work in the community. Habitat’s first build in the community was a great success because of community support and Habitat wants to continue to provide affordable homes for families where children can be raised in a safe, stable environment. All donations and funds raised by the local chapter go to building home with partner families in Vernon.

Q: I heard a lot about the partial solar eclipse that happened on Sunday night, but cloud-cover prevented us from seeing it. Are there any other interesting astronomical events coming up that we might be able to view? A: On June 5, Venus makes a very rare crossing in front of the sun. This planetary transit only happens with the planets Mercury and Venus since they orbit the sun closer than Earth. Due to the tilt of the orbits of these planets, Mercury and Venus rarely travel directly across the sun. Transit of Venus is particularly rare, and always appears in a pair with eight years in between. In 2004, Venus crossed the lower portion of the sun and the event June 5, which is the second half of the current pair of Venus transit, will appear across the top portion of the sun. You should make an effort to try and see this Venus transit as the next one is more than a century away. It is extremely dangerous to view the sun without eye protection and the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, Okanagan chapter, is providing special solar viewing glasses free of charge. The society will gather for this rare event at Allan Brooks Nature

Western painted turtle call parts of the North Okanagan home. Centre June 5 (5 to 8 p.m.). All are welcome to witness this astronomical event. Contact Raffaele Sachianca at 250-5421360 for more information. Q: What causes an early heat wave like the one we recently experienced? A: A heat wave is caused by a system of higher atmospheric pressure. In a high pressure system, air from upper levels of the atmosphere descends and rotates outward. As it comes down, it becomes compressed, which increases its temperature and dries it out. The outward flow also makes it difficult for other systems to enter the area. Since clouds are kept out of the region, sunlight is strong and heats up the land even more. The combination of no wind, low humidity and unimpeded sunlight can heat up a given location to temperatures significantly higher than normal.
Q: I’ve noticed that new turtle crossing sign has been erected on Kalamalka Road near the Kal beach tennis courts in Coldstream. Does this mean there are a lot of turtles in the area? Also, turtles have a reputation of traveling fairly slowly. How long should I expect to wait for one to finish crossing the road? A: Actually, the turtle crossing sign was erected because western painted turtle is a threatened species (blue-listed) and there is a known small population of them living in the lagoon near Kalavista Road. Under ideal conditions, adult turtles will mate and lay their eggs between early June and early July. Painted turtles are very particular about where they bury their eggs and usually select warm, un-vegetated southfacing sites with dry, light textured soils.
The only ideal nesting sites adjacent to Kalavista Lagoon are across Kalamalka Road, hence the reason for the signs. Since they are a threatned species, should you have the good fortune to see them, on the road or otherwise, take the opportunity to pull over and watch. You may not get this opportunity again! If you’re in a hurry, stop, carefully pick the turtle up by the edges of its shell and place it safely off the road in the direction that it was travelling. Other turtle crossing signs include on Commonage Road, adjacent to Rose’s Pond, and at L&A and Reimer roads, opposite Cools Pond. A photo contest is currently open to youth 14 years and under. Please encourage youth in your life to capture naturethemed photos that could be entered into the contest. Enter the photo contest by submitting up to three images every two weeks to atn.photocontest@gmail.com and include the photographer’s name and age and a title for the photos. All Things Natural is a public education and community engagement project of Allan Brooks Nature Centre Society.

fter a long weekend, it’s kind of nice to get back to some semblance of normal around the yard and gardens. Several people in the last week have been complaining about their excess of rhubarb and were wondering what to do with it besides, of course, giving it away. On a rainy day, it’s a perfect time to bake up a couple of rhubarb cakes for the freezer. If you have a very large patch of rhubarb, stew sauces to freeze for the fall or much can be used making a delicious drink for the summer, and the recipe below is ideal.

Nurse rallies behind Haiti ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A retired registered nurse and an organization dedicated to improving water, both from Vernon, continue to help earthquake-ravaged Haiti. And they’re inviting people to join them. Judy Douglas and Water Project For Haiti will host an information session about their upcoming trip on Friday, from 7 to 9 p.m., at the Vernon Alliance Church (in the Arbor next door to the church). The tiny Caribbean nation was devastated in January 2010 by a quake with a magnitude 7.0 on the Richter scale, killing an estimated 316,000 people, left a million homeless, and destroyed or severely damaged 250,000 homes and 30,000 commercial buildings. Douglas has been to Haiti every year since the earthquake, and will return again June 1 for two months, then hopes to go back in the fall. “When the earthquake hit, they were asking for people like me that had Third World experience,” said Douglas, who has also served missions in Nicaragua. “With my critical care background and my passport, I could go. I looked into going right away.” Through a Vernon connection, Douglas ended up in Montrouis, located on Haiti’s western coast, an hour from the capital, Port Au Prince, and got connected with medical personnel. She built that into a connection to a Haitianrun remote clinic in an area that never had medical access. Last year, Douglas helped teach some nurses and got connected with the existing hospital in Haiti to bring it back to life. “I worked with Haitian nurses and felt really blessed,” said Douglas, who was joined last year for a two-week stint by her nurse son, Sean.
“I worked at the remote clinic and the hospital, and now they’re connected.” The epicentre of the devastating quake was near where Haiti’s national nursing school, resulting in the deaths of many nursing students and instructors. Douglas has been helping fill that void. This year, Douglas has partnered with Water Project for Haiti, a Vernon-based nonprofit group that is in Haiti producing biosand filters that bring clean water to the Haitian people, located in Borel, Haiti. “Our organization’s vision is to promote hygiene, water management and all the different facets that water encompasses,” said Water Project for Haiti spokesperson Kyle Adam. “Right from the source of water to dealing with waste management, water management and treatment of diseases caused by water, that’s where Judy’s going to help us out.” The trip is open to anybody and Adam said any skill set is needed in Haiti. “We have connections to use somebody’s

skills, from carpenters to heal, there’s so much need for everybody,” he said. The project is Canadian funded and managed, with the goal of having the Haitians run things. “This isn’t going to go on forever,” said Douglas. “Our goal is to have the Haitians run their own country and eventually look after themselves but they need a lot of help. They’ve lost a lot of their expertise.” Douglas will also be taking supplies and is looking, in particular, for a certain musical instrument to take. “I want to take a trumpet,” she said. “Brass bands play at funerals and it’s a way for people to make some money.” The supplies needed will be among the topics discussed during Friday’s information session. no admission charge

Paddlers converge on beach Morning Star Staff
Kalavida Surf Shop kicks off the season with the first in a series of standup paddleboard events. The Eagle Run takes place Saturday at Kal Beach from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. “The season opener includes recreational and competitive races for both newbies and experienced paddlers along a spectator-friendly course between Kal Beach and the Bishop Wild Bird Sanctuary,” said Michelle Mitchell, with Kalavida. “In an effort to involve kids and youth, this year’s schedule now includes shorter distance races for groms (ages 13 and under) and junior (14-18 years), making the event fun for the entire family.” For those looking to develop new skills and hone their technique, Kalavida is also hosting a SUP Skills Clinic prior to the race and for the general public. There are also free demos throughout the day. “The Okanagan region has gained the reputation as one of Canada’s top standup paddle destinations and Vernon is home to one of the strongest communities of paddlers for all types of boards and boats,” said Mitchell. The inaugural Eagle Run will also serve as a warm-up to the upcoming Kalamalka Classic SUP Festival June 19 to 24 on Kalamalka Lake. “The Kal Classic has grown to become Canada’s largest SUP event and with a strategic partnership in Tourism Vernon, the third annual gathering now attracts regional, national and international attendance,” said Mitchell. As part of an ongoing commitment to the environment, proceeds will be donated to the Society for the Protection of Kalamalka Lake. You can register at Kalavida and get all of the details about events at www.kalavidasurfshop.com.

Lads school Chinook for title KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Maybe it was the torrential downpour in the second half. Or perhaps it was the Sunday night dance. For whatever reason, defence went out the window Monday afternoon as the Calgary Lads outlasted the Calgary Chinook Blackstars 6-4 in the men’s 35+ final at MacDonald Park. Unofficially, it is the highest scoring final in the history of the 33rd annual National Invitational Oldtimers Soccer Tournament. It was also one of the most entertaining championship games ever as the Blackstars fell behind 4-0 at the half before making things interesting.
Three delicious options. One fine morning.

Former South African pro Morgan Nkathazr – named MVP of the seven-team division – and Jeremy Chivers each scored twice for Lads. Singles came from Geoff Perlin and Peter Stewart. “Seeing that many goals was kind of odd,” chuckled Perlin. “Some of it (reason) was the wet field which made for lots of chances and we actually finished some of our chances. “Morgan was our MVP this weekend with eight goals for the Golden Boot award. He played pro in South Africa and Greece (some Champions League games with Panathinaikos). Big leads are hard to maintain and they came out hard in the second half.” The Lads, who finished second in the Calgary indoor season and fourth at provincials in Edmonton, pocketed $600. Patrick Houle, with the hat trick, and Will Bogaart replied for the Blackstars, who earned $500. “We had nothing to lose,” said player/coach Corey Fehrmann, of the Blackstars’ secondhalf rally. “We’ve never been in a high-scoring final like that. It turned into a hockey score out there. Their speed through the middle in the first 15 minutes beat us.” The Lads topped the table in preliminary play with 19 points after shutting out Covercrete FC of Vancouver 2-0, blanking Mission 2-0 and losing 2-1 to Surrey United. Surrey and the Calgary Gunners chose not play the Monday morning consolation final and instead share

In the eight-team men’s 45+ category, Peace Arch of White Rock stopped the Southside Rangers of Calgary 3-1 in Monday’s final. Tournament MVP Daniel Silva, Joe Battie and Mauricio Zinetti handled the Peace Arch offence. “That’s our fourth in a row,” smiled Peace Arch captain Zane Bouvette. “We’ve been in the finals 10 years and won seven. We started playing here in our 40s. It’s a total team effort. We win the tournament and we win the beer drinking contest.” Bouvette marvelled at the incredible skill of Silva, a work of art. “He’s tireless and he’s dynamic. He goes all the way up the field on offence, and if you’re playing sweeper, you watch him come all the way back behind you. He’s just amazing.” Peace Arch opened

Parm Kler and Mark Wasylyk scored on rocket shots for the Ogopogos. Peace Arch grounded Edmonton Karpaty 3-0 and ambushed Kelowna IGA 3-0 in other preliminary matches. The Ogopogos clipped Vancouver FC Piast 1-0 on a Mike Daly penalty kick before falling 1-0 to Calgary Lads with fabulous goalkeeping by Yogi Kongsdorf.

Vernon U17s strike bronze The Vernon United U17 Girls claimed bronze in Kamloops, ending with a hard-fought 2-0 loss to New Westminster Barcelona. Vernon could not get anything going as Barcelona, the eventual tourney champions, played an amazing passing game. Vernon game MVP was Megan Prentice. United opened the weekend with a 3-3 draw against the TSS Academy of Richmond. Vernon was up 2-0 at the half on goals from Hana Ouchi, on a cross by game MVP Paige Ralston, and Tessa Coulthard, assisted by Prentice. TSS came out strong in the second half with three unanswered goals. Vernon salvaged the tie in the final minute with a goal by Danielle Jackson. The U17 girls dominated Kootenay South 3-0 in their second game, getting a pair of goals from Emma Tassie, one on a breakaway. Ralston, assisted by Ouchi, supplied the other strike. Jackson was game MVP. Vernon played the Kootenay squad to the same 3-0 result in a Sunday rematch. Jackson, assisted by game MVP Ouchi and Marisa Berg, Ouchi, after a corner by Ralston, and Ralston, assisted by Tassie, supplied Vernon’s offence.
United U14 Girls bank three shutouts In U14 Girls Slurpee Cup play, Vernon United posted three straight shutouts before falling 1-0 to Edmonton Sunday. Edmonton took Vernon by surprise with some tight checking, and went up by a goal in the first half. United finished with a good effort and a few chances, but couldn’t quite finish. Said United coach Brett Bandy: “A very skilled team and played great possession. Vernon matched their intensity and came out stronger in second half. So proud of all the girls with their effort and focus throughout the tournament.” Throw-in specialist Talyor Vandale had a great two-way effort, while Maddie Laranjo was a vocal leader. Jordynne Tomiak began her shutout streak as Vernon bounced Prince George 3-0 Saturday. After a scoreless first half, Lydia Wood ignited Vernon by

Not long after, Cayleigh Graham fired on net and Reyhanna Akkurt made good on a fumbled ball by the keeper. Graham capped the offence by breaking in on net and deftly placing a shot over the keeper. The athletic Akkurt supplied the offence as United dominated Victoria’s Prospect Lake 1-0 later Saturday. Vernon controlled the field and tested the Prospect goalie with some great shots and relentless pressure. Kate Healy was a brick wall on left defence, and Siena Nash was a steady presence. After some initial pressure by the Vancouver Island Riptide, United woke up to secure a 1-0 win to start Sunday play. Scoreless at the break, Vernon tightened up its play in the second half, and with just 20 seconds left, Akkurt delivered a cross that Kailyn Halvorson made no mistake converting. Alexa Tymkiw stopped any offensive push by the Riptide and cleared the zone smoothly. Kara Ross shut down their key striker with authority.
U12 Girls share B Division title In U12 Girls play, United played to a scoreless draw against Kelowna White to share the B Division crown. In a back-and-forth game, keeper Shauna Bradley was steady in net to earn her second game MVP award of the tournament. Paige Latta, Jai Sidhu, Alyssa Racine and Danika Roy all had charges at net. Coach Al Gee’s girls opened with a 2-0 shutout against a European soccer school from Vancouver. Roy took game MVP with a goal and an assist. Sierra MacGillivray and Chelsea Rooseboom distributed the ball well. Sidhu, Latta and Roy handled the offence and Bradley earned the shutout as Vernon stuffed West Vancouver 4-0. Madelyn Smith, Lailah Akkurt and Evan Koshure were consistent with strong defence. On Sunday, Vernon gave up a twogoal lead, rallied to equalize, but fell 3-2 to Kamloops White. With the game tied in the final minutes, Kamloops was awarded in indirect kick that led to the winner. Sidhu earned game MVP rights for her two goals. Delaney Tetrault, Kalli Hamilton-Gee and Linnea Gallard all had stellar efforts.

The Vernon United Under 13 Boys defended their crown at the annual Slurpee Cup Rep Soccer Tournament last weekend in Kamloops. Tiege Doughty, pouncing on a Sam Eggert rebound, supplied the early winner as Vernon secured the title with a 1-0 win over league rival Kamloops Blaze Sunday. “It was a great start for the boys,” said Vernon coach Will Wiens. “I think everyone was quite surprised that the goal fell so quickly, but we took it to Kamloops right away and were rewarded for our efforts.” Malcolm Wiens was game MVP, Elias Jensen posted the shutout and Connor London, Morgan Nichols, Peter Hirschkorn and Kenzel Aartz-Roman had solid games on defence. Vernon opened the tourney with a 3-2 win over the Williams Lake Storm Saturday morning. In the ninth minute, Charis Ondrik booted a free kick just under the crossbar from 25 yards out to open the scoring. Tied 1-1 at the break, Wiens went on a run up the middle, beating the keeper to the left. Cameron MacKenzie had the other goal. Nichols was outstanding in net, Jay Peterson was game MVP, and Eggert and Hirschkorn plugged up the midfield. Vernon came out flat in their second match, falling 4-2 to the Terrace Kermodes. Trailing 1-0 early, MacKenzie set up Wiens to equalize, but Terrace went up ahead 2-1 before the break. United tied the game again in the 37th minute after Wyatt Carter knocked in a free kick by game MVP Ondrik. Langdon Kersey and Kevin Thibault had strong games in the midfield. Vernon started Sunday with a convincing 4-1 win over the Pemberton Storm. Wiens gave Vernon the lead just two minutes into the game when London sent a beautiful through ball from the back field. MacKenzie made it 2-1 when he collected a Wiens cross and beat the keeper to the left side. Wiens pocketed his second goal, taking a Carter through ball into the 18-yard box before burying a left-footed shot. Matt Jackson rounded out the scoring after putting away a Wiens’ cross.

Blues bury Relics in final KEVIN MITCHELL Morning Star Staff
They won their first provincial indoor title over the University of Alberta Green & Gold in March. Next up for the ultra-talented Calgary Tsunami Blues was the 33rd annual National Invitational Oldtimers Soccer Tournament. And while it took them a half-time adjustment to find their PATIO & DECK COVERS shape, the Blues bounced the Calgary Relics 3-0 Monday at 10’ x 8’ MacDonald Park to complete a three-peat in the women’s 35+ division. “The first half was pretty even,” said Blues’ striker and captain Jake Hertlein, who supplied eight tournament goals. “I moved Andy (Andrea Feaver) up top and Wendy (Lumby) to right mid and that Division of Greenwood Services gave us more possession and gave them and us a different look. Mon. - Fri. 9am-5pm • 4707 29th Street, Vernon, BC Wendy is such a workhorse and she had a good match-up.” Call Us! (250) 545-6662 Midfielder Jen Stevenson busted things open with a gorgeous left-footed strike top shelf off the crossbar from about 22 yards, 10 minutes into the second half. Monica Zenari, also playing midfield, made it 2-0 when she basically ran the ball into the net with her stomach. Feaver completed the Tsunami attack on a header. All three goals came off corners. “Our strength is our fitness and that was the difference today,” said Hertlein, a slick striker who played university ball in Florida. Stop in for The Blues, who had Vernon’s Tori a coffee & Haller in the lineup for the second your FREE RV straight year, earned $600. They smothSemiahmoo of White Rock 9-0, parts Gift! ered rocked the Calgary Eagles 5-0 and had to work extra hard to beat Dr. Lee’s Dental Clinic of Vernon 3-1. “They (Dr. Lee’s) were a very good team; they were solid,” said Lumby, an Olympian who represented England in # downhill skiing. The Relics, who bowed 5-0 to the Blues in recent Calgary league play, got G REAT an MVP weekend from sweeper Karen FAM I LY ! Froese. There were nine teams in the TRAI LE R division. “We just ran out of gas,” said Relics’ playing-coach Joanne King, of the final. “They have a lot of young ‘uns, girls 2013 PALOMIN0 who are just 35.

Stellar hustle was turned in by Sherry Beatty, Phillips, Ginger Nickoli and Irene Arrotta in the midfield. The Vernon ladies started off Sunday with a 6-0 win over the Calgary Jags. Beatty cranked in a blast from just inside the 18 yard box, while McPherson clicked on a great run down the wing, tucking the ball in the right corner of the net. Erbenich (2), Phillips and Baker also converted. Lisa Arrotta recorded some great saves for the shutout. The Port Coquitlam Cougars and Team NARF of Edmonton shared the women’s 40+ round-robin lead with 29 points apiece, and then met in Monday’s final, where the Cougars won 5-1. “We danced until two a.m. so no more nine o’clock games for us,” laughed beer tent diva Donna Hill, in her 14th year of the Vernon tournament with NARF. “They scored five goals in the first 15 minutes. They were good. They deserved to win because they showed up for 70 minutes and we showed up for 35. We won the second half so we’re happy about that. And we really missed Eddie (injured Vernon pick-up Edeen Ramsey) in the final.” Fran Costello and Sandra Flood of NARF have also made 14 straight tournamen showings. Nancy Rush of PoCo was MVP. United, led by Shelly Johnston, organized the event, with help from the Vernon Soccer Association, as a fundraiser for the 2013 World Masters Games in Italy. NOU was given the prestigious George Stein Memorial Triple S (skill, sportsmanship, support) award by George’s son, Marty. Calgary Turin toppled NOU 1-0 in the consolation final.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You should give your utmost attention to your duties and responsibilities. If you try to sweep things under the rug, all that’ll result will be large lumps that will surely trip you up. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be smart and avoid all forms of speculative involvements. Be especially careful not to gamble on the abilities or talents of another. It’s tough enough taking a chance on your own situation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) It’s important to weigh all sides of an important issue. Yet if you’re unduly analytical, you might be crippled or defeated by your own indecisiveness.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Being in the company of those who can afford to spend lavishly might leave you at odds with your wallet. Don’t make the mistake of trying to operate on a high-society budget. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Unless you are of singular purpose, certain objectives that you hoped to get done won’t be accomplished. Attempting several jobs simultaneously could cause you to cross your wires. ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll know what is expected of you, yet you simply might not want to comply. However, guard against any inclination to pass the buck, because it will come back to haunt you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) This isn’t going to be one of your better days for handling your personal resources or, as a matter of fact, the resources of others. Be especially careful in all financial situations.
THE
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Even though you’re a creative person, it’s still important to follow productive methods. Be careful not to go to such extremes that you stray from a solid path. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Sometimes the best foods aren’t necessarily found in establishments that have the most expensive menus. If you are out wining and dining, keep this in mind. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Try not to turn your home into a military camp. If you make the rules too tough or rigid, the troops will eventually rebel. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If some of your co-workers have been doing things that bug you or make you feel uncomfortable lately, this might not be the best day to bring it up. It could be smarter to keep mum for the nonce.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder WHOM DO YOU PREFER TO BE ON LEAD? Leonardo da Vinci said, “A well-spent day brings happy sleep.” A well-played bridge deal brings happiness to declarer and his partner. (Of course, the opponents are not so joyful, wondering why declarer had to pick on them. Such is life at times.) How should South make his side happy in this deal? He is in three no-trump and West leads his fourth-highest heart. It was reasonable for North to use Stayman to try to find a 4-4 spade fit; although, with the singleton heart king, there was also a case for raising to three no-trump. South starts with only four
top tricks: one spade, two hearts and one club. Four tricks are available from diamonds, but another winner must come from somewhere, presumably spades. It looks obvious to play on diamonds first, but it is fatal with this layout. East wins with his ace and returns a heart. West establishes his suit while he still has the spade king as an entry card. Declarer must realize that he is happy to have West on lead, because he cannot play another heart without conceding a third trick in the suit. So it is correct to play a spade to the jack at trick two. If the finesse wins, South can drive out the diamond ace and have nine tricks: two spades, two hearts, four
diamonds and one club. Here, though, the finesse loses. West cannot do better than to shift to clubs, but declarer takes the trick, cashes the spade ace, and plays on diamonds. The contract fails only if the defenders can cash three club tricks -- and if they can do that, the contract was unmakable.

We would like to acknowledge the passing of our Mother on May 17, 2012. Pauline was born in Whitesand, Saskatchewan, the 7th of 11 children, born to Fred and Pearl Spelchan. The family continued to live here for 3 more years. They then moved to a farm in Spallumcheen. She married Dan Wynn in 1935 and they purchased a farm near her parents. It was here they raised their 3 sons and lived there until they sold the farm in 1963 and moved to Armstrong. In 1972 Dan passed away and Polly moved into Vernon where she spent her remaining years. Pauline had a lovely voice and enjoyed singing in the church choir. In addition she loved playing cards, especially Canasta; was a fantastic cook; loved sports, especially curling, the Canucks and B.C. Lions. She always took pride in her appearance. She always thought of herself as young and enjoyed helping others of any age. She loved her family and was a great defender of them. Pauline is the last of the Fred Spelchan family. She is survived by her 3 sons; George (Judy), John (Joanne) and Larry (Muriel); 10 Grandchildren, 19 Great Grandchildren and 3 Great Great Grandchildren. Mom’ s request was for a family tea with all her Grandchildren. We will honour her request this summer. Please no Àowers. If you wish, take some time and enjoy your families. We wish to thank the Noric House staff for the love and care given to Mom. You are special people. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at www.MyAlternatives.ca.
