Ninety per cent of the $1.1 million will come from money city collected from developers. In the short-term, the New Delhi Restaurant will lease the space and continue to operate. Long-term, the building will be demolished and possibly be used for parking until the road connection is needed. The New Delhi lot is among a number of properties owned by the city, including the former Coldstream Hotel site, the former Vernon Flower Shop and the old Vernon Medical Clinic lands.
Up early on a Saturday with his young kids, Mike Lane was only too happy to answer the phone at 7:30 a.m. It was Hockey Canada calling to tell Lane, the co-chair of the Vernon organizing committee, that the city has been successful in securing the 2014 Royal Bank Cup Canadian Junior A Hockey Championship tournament. “I was so excited that I wanted to run up and down the street shouting that we won the bid, but we needed to keep it under our hats until Hockey Canada included the announcement in its AGM Notes on Sunday,” said Lane, whose group has been working on the bid for the past year. “It’s been a long year, and it’s going to be another long two years, but we’re very excited. We’ve been using the catch phrase ‘The Excitement Returns,’ and now it seems so fitting.” Vernon first hosted the national championship tournament in 1990, at the Civic Arena, when the team was known as the Lakers, and the trophy was the Centennial Cup.The 1990 tournament – won by the host Lakers in overtime over their provincial and league rivals, the New Westminster Royals – was the first to feature five teams, and was the first to have the final televised nationally on TSN. The 2014 Royal Bank Cup tournament, which will bring together two teams from Western Canada, one from Central Canada and one from Eastern Canada, along with the host Vernon Vipers, is tentatively slated for May 10-18, 2014, at the Wesbild Centre. Vernon’s 2014 bid was a unanimous choice at Hockey Canada’s annual general meeting in Halifax, beating out a bid from Terrebonne, Quebec. A 2014 RBC Cup kickoff rally will be held on Saturday, June 16, during the annual Downtown Vernon Association’s Sunshine Festival. “At the rally, fans will learn details about ticket sales, volunteer opportunities, and sponsorship opportunities,” said Lane. It’s anticipated that a representative from Hockey Canada will be in attendance for the rally, along with former members of the Vipers and Lakers. Vernon teams have won six national Junior A hockey titles, the most by any organization in Canada, and have competed in nine Canadian championship tournaments.

he said. Spiers wouldn’t speculate on whether staff reductions should be part of the review. Coun.

Coldstream politicians stand by remuneration RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Coldstream politicians insist it takes money to do the people’s business. The 2011 annual report shows a total of $102,283 went towards remuneration and expenses for mayor and council. At the top was Mayor Jim Garlick with $29,593 ($26,103 in wages and $3,489 in expenses). Garlick says most of his expenses were a result of travelling to Victoria to meet with provincial officials. “It’s developing relationships (for grants) and we were trying to move things forward on the water and parks issues,” he said. In second was

resources to put towards it,” she said. Discussions between the Greater Vernon jurisdictions will resume next week. “There’s a real philosophy of wanting an agreement and wanting to get it done,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky. Firm details for the two models must still be worked out before one is formally selected by participants. “There aren’t very large differences in costs,” said Sawatzky.
Dr. J. Abri de Beer is saddened to announce the closing of his medical practice as of May 31st, 2012. All patients will be notified by mail of their new physicians. If you have not received notification, please contact the office in writing at 3105 31 Street, Vernon, BC V1T 5H9, or by fax at 250-542-6592, to request your new physician information.
An open house will be held today, Wednesday, May 30th, between 2:00 and 5:00 pm at the office. Please join us as we say farewell and celebrate Dr. de Beer’s new ventures.
“If taxpayers want me to make informed decisions, they should be happy I am there,” she said. For the rest of council, remuneration and expenses were $9,774 for Pat Cochrane, $12,223 for Doug Dirk, $9,948 for Richard Enns, $8,480 for Bill Firman, $13,869 for Gyula Kiss and $757 for Peter McClean (elected in November). Coldstream’s total remuneration for all 36 employees was $2.5 million in 2011. There were nine employees that earned more than $75,000 in wages and expenses. Michael Stamhuis, chief administrative officer, had compensation of $138,725 while it was $108,776 for Trevor Seibel, director of financial administration, and $97,343 for Craig Broderick, director of development services. “Our CAO has been doing his position and the position of engineer (because of a vacancy),” said Garlick. ‘Many of our staff do more than one thing. We have low staff numbers per thousand population.”

Hoist heisted from ski club ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The heist of an $11,000 boat hoist has put a damper on the Lake Country Board and Ski Club. The Basta model 6048sp hoist, with a load capacity of 6,000 pounds, was stolen either Tuesday or Wednesday night from the shore of the club’s clubhouse, located at the northwest corner of Wood Lake, kitty-corner to Gatzke’s Orchards in Oyama. “The lift was on the shore and I think somebody backed a trailer up,” said Darrell Roper, club secretary. “It’s very heavy, and probably would have taken at least four people. If it was one person, they would have had to have a crane with their vehicle.”
Roper described the hoist as like a galvanized steel frame with four pads on the bottom. It’s used to lift boats from the water and keep them hoisted overnight. “You need something to put the boat on, that’s what the hoist is for,” said Roper. “It’s not safe to leave a boat just tied up on an anchor. If the wind comes up and the weather gets bad, the boat’s in jeopardy. And we can’t tie it to our dock because it’s just a floating dock.” The hoist is made by Basta and had the phone number 1-888-GO-BASTA in blue written on the side. An extension of the hoist is a hydraulic battery pack, complete with a little hydraulic motor, that operates the lift. Roper isn’t sure if thieves got the pack as it was in the clubhouse.
“I think they tried to break in because the push button code device has been broken,” he said. “I don’t think they got in but I don’t know for sure.” To replace the hoist new will cost the club $11,000, money it doesn’t have. The theft also puts in jeopardy programs the club runs in the summer in conjunction with Greater Vernon Parks and Recreation. “It’s a huge setback,” said Roper. “We’re hoping someone might see it in a yard or in a field or something.” Anybody with any information on the theft or the whereabouts of the hoist is asked to call the Lake Country RCMP at 1-250-766-2288, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

It was not the best way to return from a long weekend for an area logging contractor. The owner of a 1990 28-foot Freightliner logging shop van called RCMP officers on May 21 to report serious vandalism and theft to his shop van. “He had parked his large shop truck at a logging site 22 kilometres west of Monte Lake on Jewel Creek Road off George Creek Road over the May long weekend,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord
Wire stolen from Armstrong business ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
There’s been another case of copper wire theft in the North Okanagan. This time it’s from Armstrong, where police received a report of copper wire theft Saturday from the 2200 block of Highway 97A. “The owner of a business advised that sometime between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. from the previous night, he had about 150-feet of 10-gauge four-strand copper wire stolen,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The owner advised
that the wire was worth about $500. He also checked with neighbouring businesses but he was the only one hit. The theft comes a couple of weeks after
a robbery of copper wire at Clarence Fulton Secondary. “The theft of wire problem continues throughout the North Okanagan,” said
Molendyk. Police are asking anyone with information about this type of crime to contact them or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Family Owned & Operated Offers valid ‘til June 5th, 2012

Richardson completed the course in six minutes and 46 seconds, while the first media car crossed the finish line in eight minutes and three seconds. That was the fun part of the challenge. The bad news is two politicians were involved in incidents with their bikes. Vernon Coun. Catherine Lord braked too hard on a downhill portion of 32nd Avenue and went over her handlebars. “Lord received immediate medical attention from the staff traffic marshall, followed by bylaw officer Kevin Korol who was acting as a sweep for the challenge,” said challenge organizer Wendy Majewsky, Vernon’s transportation demand management co-ordinator.

She suffered some facial bruising and is expected to be off work for a couple of days. Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick had the saddlebag on his bike clipped by a motorist who failed to yield for cyclists at 32nd Avenue and 29th Street. “Because he’s such a good commuter cyclist, Garlick was able to maintain his balance and continue cycling,” said Majewsky. “One
of our main goals is to educate drivers and cyclists and increase the awareness of both to share the road. “And it’s not just for this week. Motorists have to share the road and motorists need to be aware of cyclists. Not just cyclists, but be aware of pedestrians as well. Lots more people are cycling and walking.

Road, in April, but the ground dropped six feet into a ravine May 24. “It’s a private property issue,” said Ed Stranks, the city’s engineering development services manager. Some residents have speculated the slide is a result of a water main. “There is no evidence of leakage or failure,” said Stranks. Stranks points out that East Hill is built on clay and he believes the situation is a result of soil slumping. “It could be the slope never stabilized or there is erosion from down below,” he said. The city has recommended the property owner commission a geotechnical consultant. Stranks says the city will not be involved in any remedial work. “It’s a private proper-
ty issue and something in a rear yard and not bordering city property usually doesn’t involve the city,” he said. The property owner would not comment.

A Spartan response
P
erhaps it was a mistake. But Don McRae’s recent comments could also be more indicative of a lack of understanding of the tree fruit sector. While announcing $2 million for a replant program, B.C.’s agriculture minister told Kelowna media, “We can’t grow Spartans to the same degree as other countries and we don’t want to try. We want to find out where is our strength and let’s concentrate it.” That one comment sent an orchardist friend of mine reeling. “Spartans were discovered here and we grow 90 per cent of them. So disappointing,” she said. For those not into pomology (the science of apples), the Spartan is Richard Rolke truly an Okanagan native. It was developed in 1936 by researchers at Summerland’s Agriculture Research Station, or the experimental farm as my grandma used to call it. Legend says the Spartan was a blend of the McIntosh and the Newtown. But DNA testing has recently proven an absence of Newtown and the variety’s genetic makeup remains a mystery. But science aside, the Spartan is gem of an apple — fresh and crisp long after harvesting. Because of those distinct traits, the Spartan gained popularity with both growers and consumers and became one of the top four varieties after the introduction of cold atmospheric storage in the 1960s weeded others out (the other three were McIntosh and red and golden delicious). I’m not sure where McRae got his information about other places growing better Spartans when there is limited production in Ontario and Quebec, and Washington State — the giant of the industry — cannot provide the
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
cool fall weather the variety needs for its red colour. Even with new varieties taking root in the Okanagan, Spartans account for about 10 per cent of total apple production in B.C. Obviously there is a need to rejuvenate the fruit sector and replacing unprofitable trees is a necessary move. But McRae’s comments leave one wondering if the Ministry of Agriculture truly understands the scope of the challenges facing growers. Yes the price for Spartans has dropped, but it’s not because other regions are producing better Spartans. If anything, the provincial government should be bragging about the variety — it is truly distinct to the Okanagan Valley. But this wasn’t the only misstep for McRae, a social studies teacher and rugby coach. While in Vernon, he said, “Farming is never easy but we want to ensure this industry remains the heritage industry it’s always been.” Yes, tree fruits have been grown in the Okanagan for more than a century, but describing it as a “heritage industry” makes it sound like everyone is in rocking chairs and collecting dust. The reality is that while the sector has seen better days, it is still a crucial part of the economy ($78.4 million in farm gate sales in 2011. Growers and farm workers spend their money in the community and that’s good for merchants, restaurants, automobile sales, travel agents and charities. The list goes on and on. And despite all of the challenges, a recent survey indicated an increase in growers looking at expanding their crops and staying in the business. There hasn’t been a sense of optimism in years. McRae obviously means well and he genuinely appears interested in the longterm viability of the industry but he needs to remember that a few simple phrases can send the wrong message.
On the surface, $1.1 million for a prime piece of downtown land appears to be a wise move by the City of Vernon. After all, officials have long argued that 25th Avenue must be ultimately extended to 30th Avenue and 27th Street as a way of handling critical east/west traffic flows. And as the community grows over the long-term, the pressure on the road network will continue to increase. The land is available now, and had acquisition been delayed to the future, the price would have likely been higher. But while buying the New Delhi Restaurant makes sense, the city needs to reflect on its propensity to snap up land. The Coldstream Hotel site was added to city assets years ago for a cultural complex, but absolutely nothing has occurred there except the parking of vehicles. Just a few blocks over is the former Vernon Medical Clinic site. It’s evolved into a link between the civic complex and Cenotaph Park but how many people will use it now that a key anchor in the area, the library, has moved elsewhere? City officials also bought the Vernon Flower Shop and while a new public art gallery is proposed, the property isn’t large enough to meet all of the community’s outstanding cultural needs, specifically a new museum. On top of these lands is the Bennett parking lot, which has been sitting larger under-utilized on 29th Avenue for years. Obviously the city needs to look at the long-term and if the New Delhi Restaurant lot is required for traffic upgrades, then move ahead. But the city needs to rationalize the resources it already has. That may mean reconsidering plans, like moving the art gallery to the Coldstream Hotel site, or putting some of the lands up for sale. Vernon taxpayers deserve more from their investments.

Museum deserves much better
I
wish to express my concern about the apparent lack of support the Greater Vernon Museum and Archives has been receiving for many years now. The premises are hopelessly outdated and inappropriate for the conservation of our heritage. Lack of proper space is bad enough but leaks and lack of good climate control is much worse. The dedicated staff are doing their very best with what they have to contend with. However, many items languish in storage for lack of room. My family has donated several items over the years but I am becoming reluctant to donate anything more due to the lack of facilities. Will they ever see the light of day and can they be adequately preserved are questions one must ask. We hear a great deal of lip service about providing/improving culture in Vernon. Well, there is much more to culture than art galleries and performing arts centres and it is long
PARK BEING ENJOYED I read with dismay the letter from Sharon Lawrence, with her suggestion that mountain biking in Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park be banned. The crux of her argument is that "there isn't a fair way to police bike usage to a few bikes using a few paths and never going off trail," and as such, she leaps to the conclusion that all cycling in the park should be banned. Recently, I saw several hikers walking off the trails. Based on her logic, do we also ban all people from walking in the park? I also saw six dogs off leashes in the park, so based on her logic, everyone who owns a dog should also be banned from the park. What about damage caused by horses? Let's ban them too I guess. In 1975 when the Park was created, I don't believe the mandate was to confine its use to "just a few footpaths." She also refers readers to the Guide to the Natural History of Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park,
overdue for planners and citizens to give the museum the attention it deserves. They are the guardians of our heritage, past, present and future. How can you consider yourself cultured without a good museum? Has anybody travelled around the world and visited some of the wonderful museums? It is past time to stop pouring money into sports, sports and more sport facilities. We are more than a jock community, diversify. Personally, I think it is the result of the squeaky wheel getting the grease and those pushing the agenda for the performing arts centre and art gallery and playing fields are certainly outspoken advocates of their causes. The museum badly needs a squeaky wheel it seems. Or, perhaps some elected leaders with foresight. We all contribute tax dollars to the local amenities and I for one am disgusted at the lack of support for this essential service. P.J. Sault
which if one reads on page 15 they will note it was cattle, not cyclists, who created the most damage. In 1975, mountain biking and rock climbing were not the prevalent activities that they are today. Kudos to the B.C. government for adapting to the changing needs of all members of the public, not just a few. I understand that the local mountain biking club has worked hand-in-hand with the staff of the park to ensure that trails are strategically located. Lawrence also claims that mountain bikers are a safety issue, when indeed, without a doubt, by far the largest single safety issue in the park has been the government's abysmal record at bringing the public road up to proper safety standards and to properly maintain it. I traverse Kal provincial park hundreds of times per year. The mountain bikers I see are courteous and safety conscious. Recently, I saw at least a dozen cyclists, all young people, enjoying fresh air and the beauty of the park.

No, Kalamalka park is not in a sorry state. It is being enjoyed more and more each year by walkers, hikers, rock climbers, kayakers, canoeists, boaters, beach lovers, horseback riders, joggers, cyclists, and yes, heaven forbid, mountain bikers. Phil McGrew RESPECTFUL YOUTH I own a small business in downtown Vernon. While shoplifting isn't the biggest issue, there has been some theft from my store. Just last week a group of five or six young teenage girls came in, hung around for a while, then left. I hadn't noticed anything to be worried about and continued doing my work. About 15 minutes later, one of the girls comes back in a huff and repeatedly apologizes to me while handing me a pair of earrings. Apparently one of her friends had taken it without paying. Upon finding this out, this young lady took them from said friend and
marched back to give them to me. I didn't ask her name but I am very grateful for this, and it also gave me a bit of hope for the young kids out there. It was very brave of her to do this, so thank you very much. Small Business owner COME AGAIN? B.C. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon may disdainfully dismiss his newly reintroduced provincial sales tax as a “better-stupid tax," but British Columbians haven’t forgotten who caused this long drawn out schmozzle in the first place. Someone should remind Falcon and the rest of his arrogant Liberals that the function of government is to enact legislation that the majority of the citizens willingly support. Forrest Gump said, "Stupid is as stupid does." Maybe you should think about that Mr. Falcon, before you put your foot in your mouth again. Lloyd Atkins

A Vernon woman is facing a charge of impaired driving and was ticketed for texting while driving following a Sunday night accident. Just before 9 p.m., members of the RCMP’s North Okanagan Traffic Services were called to an accident on Bella Vista Road at Davison Road, and officers identified the driver of a 2002 Toyota Camry as the vehicle’s owner. “She was still in the vehicle and admitted to recent consumption of alcohol,� said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “The 21-year-old woman is a Novice driver.� As open liquor containers were found in the vehicle, police read the driver an Approved Screening Device (ASD) demand. The ASD was administered and officers obtained a “fail� result. The driver was detained for impaired operation of a motor vehicle, and was charged with driving with a blood-alcohol level of more than .08 But the driver’s troubles didn’t end there. “The investigation has determined that she had been travelling east on Bella Vista Road, texting while driving and collided with a westbound 2010 red Jeep which left the roadway after being hit,� said Molendyk. “She then collided with a third vehicle also westbound on Bella Vista.� Several occupants were taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital as a precaution, but no major injuries resulted from the crashes. The driver has been released on a promise to appear in court at a later date for the impaired driving charge.

A Lake Country man ejected from his black vintage Ford truck Monday morning during a crash is expected to recover. Kelowna RCMP received a report of a singlevehicle accident Monday at 6:40 a.m. on Highway 97 near Duck Lake. The Ford pick-up was southbound on the highway when it apparently lost control and hit a concrete barrier. The driver, 33, from Lake Country, was ejected from the vehicle, landing in a field at the bottom of a steep embankment. Police said the man was taken to Kelowna General Hospital, and suspect a mechanical failure contributed to the crash.

Salmon Armenians roll into jazz club DVOIRA YANOVSKY Special to the Morning Star
High powered R&B favourites The Salmon Armenians return to the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. Okanagan Music Awards Best Blues Band for 2007 continues to rock the house. “We will be playing our usual mix of R&B, funk, and soul from our favourite music era – the ‘60s and ‘70s,” said band leader Lody Kieken. “We’ve always loved the classic Motown and Stax tunes as well as the sound of horn bands like Lighthouse, The Ides of March, and Blood, Sweat and Tears. The band’s fascination with the horn will be front and centre this performance. “Our musical style is eclectic although we do have a bias for a good horn line,” said Kiekan. “We took a number of songs not normally associated with horn bands and asked Jim Johnston, our arranger, to create horn arrangements for us.” The gig will also feature originals from their CD Snow Country Sessions, including reggae flavoured Rhythm of the World by drummer Larry Keats, and trombone player Rich Thorne’s In the Mirror, a timely ecological message that asks the question “am I helping or hindering the condition of the world today?” Hammond organist Kieken, owner of Acorn Music in Salmon Arm, formed the band in 1997. Personal spare time is devoted to his role of chairperson of the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Musical spare time is devoted to honing his skills. “My personal practice these days consists of learning the nuances of New Orleans Piano playing and now that I’m pursing the skills required, I’m even more in awe of the practitioners of this craft,” said Kieken. Since the early 1970s, Doug Sonju has

Rich Thorne started playing trombone in Grade 5, joined his first jazz combo in grade nine, and was the principal trombone in the prestigious University of Idaho Symphony. Thorne has been playing with a new horn band in Vernon. Vocalist Debbie Reid is best known for her work with The Phantoms, Salmon Arm’s most versatile party band. She’s looking forward to retiring and spending more time singing and writing songs for the
Armenians. Del Hunter has been singing professionally since 1973. She’s performed for the past 17 years with husband Keith Hunter in the duo Steppin’ Out. Drummer “Slammin’ Salmon” Keats is an original member of the Salmon Armenians. Keats shares his music as a music therapist, promoting wellness for children and adults facing challenges. Bassist Murray Holmes played professionally in Vancouver for eight years with groups like Duster and Ambush. He also played for 11 years in the Thompson-Okanagan area with Blacksmith.
The newest Armenian is guitarist Jordan Dick who has played in a variety of musical styles, the latest being jazz. Local teen sensation, pianist Brandon Schmor will open for the Armenians. This is his third gig at the VJC. This performance is sponsored by Canaccord Wealth Management – Vernon. The show is at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 for non-members and $15 for members.

Luke Mortenson remembers the first time he saw Eclectibles, a record and book store in downtown Vernon. “I knew it would be the perfect venue as soon as I walked by. So I walked in and introduced myself and took a shot in the dark,” said Mortenson, who holds a concert there Saturday. “I was worried that (owner) Rod Neufeld was going turn me down, but after shooting the breeze about my favourite records and discovering that Rod is a singer-songwritter himself, he happily agreed to trying out a show at the store.”
Last year, Mortenson held a small show with Windmills and together, they sold out the show. “It was really wonderful to get people into a shop they didn’t even know existed. It was kind of the perfect relationship I thought. I get to expose this little gem of Vernon, and I get to buy records with ticket sales,” said Mortenson. This Saturday’s show at Eclectibles will include Bjorn Kriel, a Westbank resident with an impressive list of musical accomplishments. “Earlier in the year, Bjorn took a place in the top 10 of the Okanagan’s Our Kids Have Talent and he is set to release a CD of his own musical musings,” said Mortenson.
“This kid makes me wish I picked up the guitar earlier, He’s got more soul than a sock with a hole. All jokes aside, Bjorn is going to make a name for himself in the music scene in the coming years. He plays with a maturity rarely seen even in seasoned musicians.” Second up is Mortenson himself. Some may know him from the Vernon-based band Paperboy. The evening will be intimate, with only 25 tickets available. If you are interested in getting tickets while they last, contact Mortenson at 250-550-8375. Eclectibles is located on 30th Avenue across from the Towne Theatre,

Hub collective hosts Tyler and Big Love Morning Star Staff
Brent Tyler and his Big Love Band of Rob Vulic, Josip Vulic and Garth Kennedy will be hitting Vernon Friday. They will be at the Hub Arts Collective, performing soulful and heartfelt songs influenced by the likes of Martin Sexton, Jeff
Buckley and Dave Matthews. “Big Acoustic Love. This is the best description of Tyler’s music and live performance. An aggressive acoustic style combined with lungs befit of his seven-foot stature,” says a release. “Tyler balances the soft subtlety of honest and introspective folk music with soulful and powerful pop hooks and melodies born of his childhood influences and contemporary crushes.” After releasing his second album, In Rhythm, in the summer
of 2010, Tyler has spent the last two years adding highway kilometres and industry experience to his already accomplished resume. Highlights include opening for Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Lorne Elliot, Julian Austin and Joel Plaskett. Recently, he has shared stages with other accomplished Canadian artists such as Wil, CR Avery, Ari Neufeld and The Polyjesters. The show begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance at the Hub or at Bean Scene, or $15 at the door. The Hub is located at 2906 30th Ave. PHOTO SUBMITTED FOR ADVANCE TICKETS GO TO

Debbie Sparling had to change the family menus in a hurry when her son was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes two days before Christmas a year-and-a-half ago. She set to work adapting favourites to take into account Colby’s diabetes and his intolerance for gluten and wheat. She came up with the 50 recipes in the Our Family CookBook, edited by her husband, Dason Sparling, with a cover drawn by Colby. “This is the cookbook I wish I’d had when Colby was first diagnosed. I love cooking and had always wanted to write a cookbook so this is a great reason,” said Debbie. “I had to do a lot of experimenting to get everything precise. Since I have a huge sweet tooth, I had to find out about other sources of sweeteners. I also included carb counts on all the recipes. And all the ingredients are available in Vernon, you just have to know what to ask for.” The recipes cover all meals and snacks, starting with Colby’s favourite waffles. There are recipes for the rest of the day like apple/mango salad, focaccia sandwiches, turkey burgers with cranberry mayonnaise, and coconut shortbread. Snacks include Debbie’s favourite black bean energy bars. He likes helping his mom cook. “He’s a great egg cracker,”

ometimes I think that the calendar I am using is missing days. Time is running out and I have trouble catching up with it. The downpour we had May 21 helped me fill the rain barrels to the top and more. The plants were happy and it saved me from watering for a couple of days. I will have a plant sale at our house on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. I will have some heirloom tomaJocelyne Sewell to plants, perennials, a few annuals and houseplants. The address is 6576 Orchard Hill Rd., off Bella Vista. On June 9, The Okanagan Gardens and Roses garden club will hold its annual plant sale at the Village Green Centre, by the front entrance from 9 a.m. until about 1 p.m. No early birds would be appreciated to give time for setting up. There will be hostas and many interesting plants. These plants come from members’ gardens.

I found a recipe which will make weeds disappear. This was by Shell Busey, HouseSmart. Mix together 4 cups white vinegar, 1/4 cup table salt and 2 tsp. liquid dish detergent. Put the mixture in a spray bottle and spray on the weeds when it is hot outside. Please remember this formula really works and is only recommended for weeds in driveways, sidewalks, patio stones etc. If you spray it onto weeds in your lawn you are going to kill the grass as well and create an ugly brown spot. Mosquitos: you should attack them before they attack you. The best way to control mosquitos is to eliminate the places they breed. Remove standing water in puddles, pots and drainage ditches. Change the water in birdbaths and wading pools every few days. Remove debris from rain gutters. Get rid of old cans, buckets and tires that might hold stagnant water. The mosquito goes through four separate and distinct stages of its life cycle. Eggs are laid on the surface of the water; most eggs hatch into larvae within 48 hours.
The larva live in the water and come to the surface to breathe. They shed their skin four times, growing larger after each molting. On the fourth molt the larva changes into a pupa. The pupal stage is a resting, non-feeding stage. This is the time the mosquito turns into an adult. It takes about two days before the pupal skin splits and the mosquito emerges as an adult. The newly emerged adult rests on the surface of the water for a short time to allow itself to dry and all its parts to harden. Also, the wings have to spread out and dry properly before it can fly. Most males live about a week and females live about a month. Female mosquitoes feed on man, domesticated animals such as cattle, horses, goats, etc; all types of birds including chickens; all types of wild animals including deer, rabbits; and they also feed on snakes, lizards, frogs, and toads. Male mosquitoes do not bite, but feed on the nectar of flowers. Don’t take chances, shoot first and ask questions later. For more information: 250-558-4556.

Summer’s best sweets
ere we are already coming to the last month of spring and will be heading into summer in only a few weeks. Strawberries will be the biggest local treat, and mine are already forming bunches of berries on the plants. When I was a child, there seemed to be no shortage of rhubarb, fresh for dipping in sugar or stewed for desserts. I enjoyed spreading rhubarb sauce on my toast in the morning and then sneaking out to the garden and crushing fresh strawberries on top: a precursor to strawberry/rhuCathi Litzenberger barb jam perhaps? However, I don’t recall ever having that kind of jam in our house. June will be the perfect time to put together those chutneys, jams and desserts that use the combination of these two fruits. Rhubarb Strawberry dessert Bars Filling 1- 1/2 cups fresh or frozen unsweetened rhubarb, cut into 1-inch pieces 1- 1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries 1 tbsp. lemon juice 1/2 cup sugar 2 tbsp. cornstarch Crust 1- 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1- 1/2 cups uncooked quick-cooking oats 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar 3/4 cup butter, softened 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. salt Drizzle 3/4 cup powdered sugar 1 to 2 tbsp. milk Combine rhubarb, strawberries and lemon juice in 2-quart saucepan. Cover; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fruit is tender (8 to 12 minutes). Combine 1/2 cup sugar and cornstarch in small bowl. Stir into fruit mixture. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Continue boiling until thickened. Remove from heat. Set aside. Heat oven to 350 F. Combine all crust ingredients in large bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 1- 1/2 cups crumb mixture. Press remaining crumb mixture onto bottom of greased 13x9-inch baking pan. Spread filling over crust. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely. Combine all drizzle ingredients in small bowl. Drizzle over cooled bars. Cut into bars. Rhubarb Pudding Dessert with Strawberries 1 cup graham cracker crumbs 2 tbsp. sugar 1/4 cup butter (margarine) melted
KITCHEN WIT & WISDOM
1 cup sugar 3 tbsp. cornstarch 4 cups rhubarb (chopped fresh or frozen) 1/2 cup water 3 drops red food colouring, optional 1/2 cup whipping cream, whipped 1-1/2 cups miniature marshmallows 2-(102 g) instant vanilla pudding mix 1 pint strawberries, cleaned, sliced and sweetened to taste Combine crumbs, sugar and butter; set aside 2 tablespoons. Press remaining crumbs into ungreased 11 x 7 x 2-inch baking dish. Bake at 350 F 8-10 minutes; cool. For filling, combine 1 cup sugar and cornstarch in saucepan. Add rhubarb and water; bring to boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in food colouring if desired. Spread over the crust; chill. Combine whipped cream and marshmallows; spread over rhubarb layer. Prepare pudding mix according to package directions for pie filling; spread over marshmallow layer. Sprinkle with reserved crumbs. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Serve with a spoonful of sliced, sweetened strawberries on the side.

Art gallery moves forward with financial boost RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Details for a proposed new art gallery are being hammered out. The provincial government has provided the Vernon Public Art Gallery with $50,000 to develop a business plan and analysis for a facility on 31st Avenue. “It will give us momentum moving forward,” said Dauna Kennedy Grant, executive director. Among the issues that will be considered is how much square footage is required and how the space in a new building would be used. “We would explore with the community what are some of the other possible
uses that could be accommodated such as a lecture theatre,” said Kennedy Grant. The analysis process is critical if there is to be any government funding for construction. “Certain granting bodies require certain studies and background documents to even submit an application,” said Kennedy Grant. As part of the process, meetings will be held in June with federal, provincial and local representatives to discuss funding. While a firm figure hasn’t been determined, it has been previously suggested that an 18,000-square-foot gallery could cost about $5 million.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Even if you believe a certain objective is easily attainable, don’t assume it’s a foregone conclusion. There may be a surprise or two, so you should keep your ideas flexible.
unless you delegate their implementation to skilled and reliable parties, success could be in question. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) It’s much smarter to check things out for yourself rather than believe what another says, when you have to know the absolute facts. Don’t take any chances. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Teaming up with another for a common cause might hold a special appeal to you. However, if it proves to be taking you nowhere, don’t hesitate to split up and go it alone. ARIES (March 21-April 19) It’s generally a mistake to allow petty politics to become an issue among friends. As a result, you or the person you are endorsing could turn out to be very unpopular. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your financial indicator could run from high to low and back again. Try to keep a cool head and you’ll end up on the right side of the ledger.
WANT THE NEWS NOW?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) It’s kind to give to those in need, but remember, charity should first begin at home, or at least within your intimate circle of good friends. Help those you personally know before aiding strangers. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Accept others for who they are and not for what you hope to get out of them. If you want support for something important, deal with people realistically and sincerely. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) If you want to have harmonious relationships with your colleagues, don’t attempt to take all the credit for things that others helped play a role in bringing about. Share the limelight.

Milestone year for Cherryville RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
It’s a birthday party 150 years in the making. Cherryville Days runs from Friday to Sunday and it will be an opportunity to celebrate the discovery of gold on Cherry Creek in 1862. “Cherryville is the oldest community in the North Okanagan,” said Ernie Laviolette, with the Cherryville Historical Society. To mark those humble roots, there will be a heritage celebration at the Cherryville Community Hall Friday at 2 p.m. The event will include historical displays and a chance for residents to reminisce. The 50th anniversary of Monashee Provincial Park will also be acknowledged and there will be an official ceremony at 5 p.m. with a birthday cake. “The people of Cherryville think of it as their park,” said Laviolette. Also on Friday, there will be a family dance in Hanson Park from 6 to 8 p.m. and everyone is encouraged to dress in the gold fever theme. “Cherryville Days gets the whole community out and celebrating Cherryville,” said Kim Martin, festival cochairperson. On Saturday, there will be a pancake breakfast at 8 a.m. That is followed by a birthday cake baking contest, a tea garden, a pet show, a farmers market, bingo and a watermelon eating contest. The Gold Pan Alley Kids Zone will be open and there will entertainment and a gold panning demonstration. The parade runs from the Emporium to Cherryville Elementary at noon, and one of the most popular activities is the outhouse race at 4:30 p.m. “It’s pretty comical,” said Martin of the race which flushes out a lot of creativity as contestants try and outdo
each other with decorating. On Sunday, many of the same activities will continue and there will also be a horseshoe competition, a church service, pony rides and a lip-sync contest. The weekend wraps up with a community supper at 4:30 p.m. “We’re celebrating the community that it is,” said Martin, who is encouraging all North Okanagan residents to attend Cherryville Days. “It’s a great time to come out and see what we’re all about.” For more information about Cherryville Days, go to www.cherryville.net.

Oyama ready to roll in fun RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A decades-old tradition of community pride is alive and well in Oyama. Oyama Fun Day takes place Sunday and enthusiastic crowds are expected to take part. “It’s our big day for the entire community,” said Deb Butler, with the Oyama Community Club. “It’s good old-fashioned family fun and it’s a chance to come out and visit with your neighbours.” Activities get underway at 8 a.m. with a pancake breakfast at the Oyama Community Hall. The highlight of the day, though, is the parade along Oyama Road at 11 a.m.. “It’s getting bigger and bigger every year,” said Butler. “It’s the only parade in Lake Country.” And there are no restrictions as to who can participate in the parade. “If you decide that morning you want to put streamers on your bike, come on down,” said Butler. A reminder to motorists that Oyama Road — from the general store to the school — will be closed Sunday from 10:45 to 11:15 a.m. for the parade. At noon, the concession pavilion opens, while there will also be a classic car display and an open house at the Royal Canadian Legion. Residents are also encouraged to stop by the farmers market. “We want to showcase our local businesses,” said Butler. Also at noon, there will be a demonstration by the Lake Country Jumping Agility Mutts, followed

At 1 p.m., Adrian Empire’s Medieval Village will open and it will include games, artisans, steel fighting demonstrations and table catapults. Look for Sugar the Clown, Sportball kids activities, a bounce feature and a silent auction. The schedule wraps up at 3 p.m. “Oyama Community Club proudly hosts Fun Day as our club’s contributions to the quality of life in the jewel of the Okanagan,” said Butler.

Hawrys highlights Rocks’ attack Morning Star Staff
Brett Hawrys scored eight goals and set up four others as the Armstrong Shamrocks outlasted the South Okanagan Flames 16-13 Sunday night at Penticton Memorial Arena. The Shamrocks improved to 3-1-2 in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League. The Flames dipped to 2-3-1. Hawrys potted a hat trick in the first period, using his slippery style and stellar stick skills to beat his defenders. The highlight goal of the period came when Daniel Peterson fired a pass off the back glass right into Willy Hanley’s stick. Hanley finished with a one-timer. Jean Luc Chetner of the Flames matched Hawrys with a hat trick of his own to keep the Flames in the game. Armstrong’s Todd Hoggarth made a strong cut to the middle of the floor to score in tight and the Rocks took a 6-4 lead into the first intermission. The Junior Irish came out strong to start the second with Owen Barker sniping three top cheese shots and Hawrys scoring his double hat trick goals on fast breaks. Shamrock rookie Conor Payne fed a beautiful cross-crease pass to Hanley for his second quick one-timer. Defensive specialist Cam Nelson ripped his first of the year, popping out from around the net and potting a low shot past the tender. Josh Greenwood responded with two goals for the Flames but the Rocks carried a 13-7 lead into the final frame. Playing with strong character, the Flames
mounted a rally in the third, capitalizing on two powerplays to move within two goals. Hawrys stuffed their momentum with his seventh goal of the night, and buried an empty-netter before Joel Castle paid a high price, absorbing a hard hit after firing a rope-ripping shot for the final Shamrock goal. Armstrong bench boss Pat Nelson appreciated the hard work of his team at both ends of the floor. “We were a little shorthanded with only 14 runners so the guys had to dig deep and double shift at times, but they really stepped up,” said Nelson. On Hawrys’ all-planet performance, Nelson added: “Brett sees the floor really well and the boys help him setting strong screens and feeding nice passes and he has great finish around the net.” Hawyrs leads the league with 15 goals and 30 points, followed by Barker, with 10-17-27. Hanley finished with two goals, while Castle and Payne each earned two assists. Chetner had 5+2 and Josh Greenwood supplied four goals for the Flames, who got 2+1 from Quinn Ramsey and four assists from Chris Pond. Armstrong took 34 penalty minutes, while the Flames were assessed 54 minutes. The Junior Rocks now host four straight home games with the 1-4 Vernon Re/Max Tigers coming to Lacrosseville tonight (7:30, Nor-Val Sports Centre). Armstrong hosts the 2-2-1 Kelowna Raiders Saturday night.

Hugh McRoberts Strikers of Richmond in round 1 action Saturday at Parkinson Rec Fields in Kelowna. The remaining games will be played at Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford. “They were very good passers – crisp, tight spirals – and they had good support; they were always there in the rucks,” said VSS coach Tim Thorpe. “They had good defence and it was tough to penetrate against them. It was getting frustrating for some of our guys because nothing was working.” Wade Buller and Brett Lemiski provided tries for the Panthers. “He got his after some relentless work by our forward pack,” said Thorpe, of Buller’s score. “They stopped us at the five-yard line four or five times before he dove over the line.” Lemiski earned his after a nice run by Thomas Mills up the sideline. When Mills got taken down, Lemiski scooped up loose ball and scampered in from 30 yards. Vernon, who are guaranteed a minimum four games, face the No. 13 Ladysmith 49ers in consolation play today. They will be without injured captain Josh Froom and several other players who are staying in Vernon to

Kamloops #2 won the opener. Mykl Drabiuk and Stephane Richard each scored twice for the Legends, who got singles from Chase Wirth, Colton Greeno, Jordan Barr and Darien Ottesen. In Game 2, Branden Nicholas counted five goals as Kamloops #1 stopped the Legends. Barr and Drabiuk each pulled hat tricks for the 9-4-1 Legends, while Richard and Wirth supplied singles.

The Vernon Jackals lost more than a rugby game Saturday afternoon in Penticton. In addition to falling 15-7 to the Penticton Harlequins in their Okanagan Rugby Union tilt, the Jackals paid a heavy physical toll at Kings Park. The Jackals lost flanker Geoff Cranton to injury for the season. Flanker (Kiwi) Dan Eyles played with a cut that required 20 stitches after the game, and eighth man Garth Cooke was enjoying a solid game until he sustained a rib injury early in the second half. “It will be a big loss for our club, as he is a great team guy and a very good rugby player,” said Jackals’ player coach Mike Scheller, of Cranton. “This was a very physical game with our old rival. There were big hits and some tough collisions out there on Saturday...and everybody knew they were in a battle.” Penticton went up 5-0 on an unconverted try in the first half. Fullback Tanner Nordstrom Young replied with a try early in the second half, converted by Rob Miles. The Harlequins, who fielded 10 subs to Vernon’s one, finished with a pair of late tries to seal the win. “This is the best Penticton has looked in a few years, and they have become a very tough side,” said Scheller. Vernon prop Bryan Bateman delivered some timely tackles, hooker Pearse Wylie added some much-needed toughness at forward, and his combination in the lineouts with lock Don Deane was very good. Vernon is hosting a jamboree Saturday at Grahame Park, with the Jackals taking on the Kelowna Crows in an ORU league game at noon, followed by a 2 p.m. exhibition between Enderby and Prince George. Enderby is right back at it at 3 p.m. against the Crows, with the Jackals and Prince George battling at 4 p.m.

Sports United U11 Girls win Continued from A28 Joey Rodak, Cole Johnson and Noah Podolski worked a brilliant three-way passing play that just missed putting the boys ahead 2-0. Joseph Neufeld converted a one-touch blast off a feed from Ondrik before the half. Vernon’s fourth goal came on another multiple passing play with Johnson crossing a ball to Zackary Laranjo, who deftly touched the ball over to Ondrik for his second goal of the half. Vernon’s scoring was capped with a penalty shot by Johnson. United #2 edged Kelowna #1 2-1 in U11 Girls play Sunday at McArthur Island Sports Centre. Keeper Danica Ariano and the back line, anchored by Kelsey Carriere and Mia Dougan, were stellar. Two quick. early goals from Olivia Mclennan, supported by huge midfield pressure by Elliana Gutknecht and Kiara Haydamack, put United up 2-0. Kelowna was awarded a penalty kick late in the second half and put one past McLennan, while United was unable to capitalize on an awesome corner by Makena Kersey. In Game 2, Vernon bowed 2-1 to Kelowna #3 with Megan Sherwood and Jayden Strachan protecting keeper Haydamack, and Emily Thomas and Lynley Gordon-Mason solid on defence. Haydamack buried a rebound off the Kelowna keeper in the second half. Kelowna scored twice late in the heat of the second half. Paige Noakes and the other midfielders were superb. Vernon #1 lost 2-1 to Shuswap before falling 2-0 to Kamloops Blue in other U11 play. Shuswap grabbed a 2-0 lead, but Vernon held tight with some sweet play by Carly Southam, Laryssa Fletcher and Nadia Smith. Vernon got strong runs by Keira Correia and Juanita-Jean Big Plume-Bonneau.

Riedstra racks up hat trick Morning Star Staff
Roland Riedstra literally turned the Rutland Spirit inside out as the Big O Tire/ Turn-Key Ogopogos posted a 5-0 Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League win Monday night at Marshall Field #1. The rangy striker had the Spirit keeper turning his head around all night, scoring three times and striking three posts as the Ogopogos went to 3-3. Rutland dropped to 0-6. Other goal scorers for the Ogopogos were Terry Petersen, on a nice low shot off the inside post, and reliable Mark Wasylyk. Petersen was unselfish on a another close break against the keeper, kindly passing back to Riedstra who faced an open net. Riedstra juked and jived around a few defenders for his other two snipes. Yogi Kongsdorf recorded the shutout, recording a few tough saves, including a hard blast from in tight which caught him square in the face. Leo Nadeau was superb anchoring the Big O Tire defence. Gord Howard pulled the hat trick as the Leko Precast Camels stoned Brandt’s Creek 6-0 at Marshall #2. Chris Reeves, Al Muphy and Rick Raber added singles for the Camels (5-1). Dave Dutcher recorded the easy shutout. Brandt’s Creek is 4-2. The Silver Stars and Pushor Mitchell Advocates played to a feisty scoreless draw at Marshall #3. Both teams battled hard in a game where both defences defended well. Brian Eso and Steve Church both put good chances over the bar in the first half for the Stars, while a Pushor Mitchell forward shot just wide of the post in the second half when he was sent through alone. Dennis Berg and Steve Coombs defended strong for the Stars and the Pushor Mitchell back line was up to the task as well. Numerous yellow cards were handed out to both teams for a wide range of offences as the game was professionally managed by referee Wayne Aasen. The Stars remain undefeated at 3-0-3 and Pushor Mitchell move to 2-3-1. Kelowna Cantinas bounced Bosman Accounting of Vernon 3-1 at Mission 71 Park. The 1-5 Bosman crew played a very solid first half with Erick Burnet curling in a free kick under the top right corner, but the 2-3-1 Cantina keeper was just able to tap the ball out. About 10 minutes later, Burnet took a corner which was received by Henk Bosman, who shot the ball clinically in the low left corner. League-leading Kelowna IGA brushed back pesky Lake Country 3-1 at City Park,

IGA (5-0-1) visit the Camels in a showdown next Monday night in Vernon. In men’s 35+ league play, the shorthanded Vernon Celtic fell 5-2 to first-place Penticton Pinnacles at Rutland Field. The Celtic started with 10 players and feared for the worst when Penticton (5-01) got rewarded a penalty kick just minutes after kick-off. Celtic stand-in keeper Mike Collins showed his ever-growing athleticism and his diving save was followed by another rebound stop. Minutes later, the 3-1-2 Celtic surprisingly opened the score when Collins sent a long ball to Tim McGowan who caught the Penticton keeper off his line and scored with a hard, 30-yard shot. The Celtic gained momentum and created several chances to extend the lead, but the Pinnacles took advantage of miscom-

The second half featured a high tempo although chances were initially sparse until the 60th minute when Penticton broke the deadlock with a rocket shot from 16 yards. The weary legs of the Celtic started to show and the Pinnacles capitalized with three more goals in a span of 10 minutes. Tyler Johnson got the last goal of the game with a nifty tap-in after a corner kick. In other 35+ action, People’s Insulation of Kelowna ambushed Vernon Kal Tire 7-0 at Mission #74. Kal Tire (0-5-1) only threatened a handful of times with their best chance coming off a great feed from Glenn Allan to fellow striker Darren Nobrega, who sailed a strike over the crossbar.

Moderately Confused
Get inspired Bridge by Phillip Alder A GOOD GUESS IS BETTER THAN ANYTHING Here is the third deal from my men’s group. After North had opened one spade and South had responded two hearts, North rebid two spades. This suggested a sixth spade, but if his hand was unsuitable for two no-trump or three of a minor, he would have rebid two spades with a good fivecard suit. Now South was in a quandary. He might have rebid three clubs (over which North would probably have chosen three no-trump) or raised to four spades. But he took control by jumping to three no-trump, hoping to run the spade suit. Four spades would
probably have made without much difficulty, even if declarer had lost a trump trick. Say East leads the heart five. North wins, plays a spade to the king and a spade to his jack. East wins and leads his second heart: eight, 10, ruff. North draws the missing trump and plays a club to dummy’s king. When that wins, he cashes the heart king, ruffs out West’s heart queen, leads a diamond to the ace, and takes two discards on the high hearts to collect five spades, three hearts, one diamond and one club. Three no-trump was much tougher. I might have led the diamond two from that West hand, but he chose the heart six, the most effective start. If South had played a spade
with
to his king, followed by a spade to the jack, he would have had to read the position to get home. But declarer unerringly won the second spade with dummy’s ace to drop the queen! Now he had an easy overtrick. I explained the percentages, but it was hard to argue with success.

With both joy and sorrow we celebrate the life of Glen Elmo White, who on May 18, 2012 suddenly and unexpectedly entered into the presence of the Lord. Glen was born in Vancouver, B.C., on December 25, 1941 to Mary (nee Parker) and Percy White. He grew up in various small communities in B.C., including Burns Lake, Canoe Flats, Sooke and Windermere. He was the eldest of four children and is survived by his three younger sisters. Glen attended UBC and graduated with his B.Sc. in geology and geophysics, also receiving his P.Eng. He worked briefly as an employee and then began his entrepreneurial career by starting a number of consulting companies in the mining industry. Over the course of his professional career, Glen consulted on various gold, silver and base metal exploration properties throughout North America. He was blessed to work in a career he loved and Glen brought to mineral exploration an intensity and integrity that will be missed. Though Glen spent his professional career searching for buried treasure, his most valuable treasure was his relationship with Jesus Christ. Glen was active in church life from the moment he surrendered control of his life to Jesus in 1974. During various times of his life, Glen was a deacon in the church, taught bible study, participated in drama and scripture reading, and preached the Word of God. Glen did not believe science and faith were mutually exclusive; instead, his love for Jesus Christ and his pursuit of scientific knowledge led him to author two books arguing the opposite. Glen considered “Of the Something More” and “Schism of the Cosmos” to be some of his most important life’s work, summarizing his thoughtful synthesis of faith and science. These books can be found at www.kargenbooks.com. Though we rejoice that Glen is alive and well with the Lord he loved, Glen will be deeply missed by many friends and family, including his wife of 46 years, Karen (nee Troop), four daughters and sons-in-law, seven grandchildren and his mother-in-law. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on June 2, 2012 at Bethel Pentecostal Community Church in 100 Mile House. In lieu of flowers, the family requests any memorial donations be made to the Gideons of Canada (www.gideons.ca) or the Tents of Mercy ministry (www.tents-of-mercy.org).

For the last 20 years the facility had been offering limited Sunday openings, withdrawing the service only in the warmer months.
