FUN IN OYAMA

Residents told to leave fawns alone They’re cute, cuddly and fuzzy. But fawns found abandoned in nature are problems as house pets, and problems for anybody who takes what they think is an abandoned baby deer home with them. “Anyone who thinks they can raise a fawn on their own, the success rate is low,” said conservation officer Sgt. Josh Lockwood. “It’s also a violation. Picking up and possessing live wildlife is a violation, and you could be facing some court action or a $345 fine.” It’s the time of year when officers start to get calls about fawns. Lockwood said, typically, a mother will leave the babies for 24 hours to go feed and get food for the babies. They often don’t come back because there’s the likelihood they’ve been hit by a vehicle. And besides not picking up the fawns, people should simply leave them alone.
“The mother could be close by and they will become mothers from hell,” said Lockwood. “They are aggressive towards the protection of their young.” It’s also the time of year where Lockwood’s office starts to receive calls about bears. He said those calls have been increasing over the last two weeks. “It’s the usual, ‘there’s a bear in my garbage, on the deck in the barbecue or in the dog food,’” said Lockwood. “This is a good time to remove bird feeders because they can hang around if they get into the feeders. If they get into the garbage, they’ll become habituated and we’ll have little choice but to euthanize them because they become a threat to the public.” Lockwood said people should put their garbage out for collection only on collection day and not before. This is especially true if a person lives around a school. “We don’t want problems with bears

call Saturday about a cougar sighting at Coldstream Elementary. He investigated with a volunteer who had a cougar-tracking dog, and the pair came up empty. “There was no indication, no tracks, nothing, that indicated there was a cougar,” said Lockwood. “The dog found nothing as well.” They did find a blond-coloured black bear and scared it out of the neighbouring park. Lockwood said there has been one instance this year where bears had to be destroyed near Armstrong. In that case, a mother bear was found dead at the bottom of a tree. There’s no indication that she died of natural causes or fell from the tree. Two cubs were spotted near the top of the tree, a great distance from the ground. They had been there for about five or six days and were greatly emaciated, so conservation officers put down the cubs.

News Enderby wants to lure doctors RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
JENNIFER SMITH/MORNING STAR
Will Pearce, Vernon’s new chief administrative officer, says change is inevitable but he doesn’t foresee anything radical at city hall.
Pearce backs service review RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s new chief administrative officer won’t speculate on possible job cuts. Will Pearce took up duties Monday and one of his tasks will be assisting council with a core service review. “When one looks at a review, one of the steps is to look at the services being provided and assess if they are highly valued or if there is a desire to get budgets under control,� he said. Some residents have expressed concerns about the number of employees at city hall, but Pearce won’t go there yet. “It’s a loaded question until we do the review,� he said, adding there is a need for organizations to periodically consider how they conduct business. “It’s an opportunity to make sure we’re delivering the right services. If not,
we need to make some adjustments.� A new administrator can change the tone of day-to-day operations, but Pearce doesn’t believe city staff should be worried. “To deliver services, you need skilled, motivated and committed individuals delivering services. My job is to ensure we have that environment. Our commitment to council and the community is to deliver services the best we can,� he said. “An administrator will not succeed if they create a negative environment and undermines trust and an individual’s ability to do their job.� Pearce was chief administrative officer in Cranbrook and he has also worked in Okotoks, Alta. and Calgary. “I’m not an advocate of revolutionary change,. It undermines productivity,� he said of his style.
“I’m an advocate of evolutionary change. Any organization that stands still will die. If people have expectations that tomorrow will be the same as today, that is unrealistic.� The 60-year-old Pearce who replaces Leon Gous as CAO, says he has been impressed by his experiences so far at city hall. “The folks I have met are professional and service oriented. They are working towards the long-term goal of improving service and that’s all I can ask for,� he said. Pearce expects a multi-year business plan will be developed with council. “I will work closely with mayor and council and determine their objectives. What do they see as the future of the community? Are there strengths and weaknesses?�
With Enderby’s doctors moving on, there are growing demands for the provincial government to get involved. City council passed a resolution Monday that urges Victoria to revise its point system for classifying rural communities for incentives so demographics and other population factors are considered. “Because we are close to Howie Cyr Vernon, we are way down the scale (for incentives) but we have difficulties attracting physicians,� said Mayor Howie Cyr. Demographics has been highlighted in the resolution because of Enderby’s large seniors population as well as many at-risk residents. Cyr believes financial incentives could make Enderby attractive for doctors looking to establish a practice. The Enderby Health Centre recently lost one doctor who has taken up new duties in Vernon, while another is retiring in June and the third doctor at the centre is moving to Vancouver in September. Doctors at the health centre operate under contract with the Interior Health Authority. Recruitment to fill the vacancies is underway. “People are very concerned about their doctors leaving. It’s a big worry for them,� said Cyr. Besides the health centre, there are two doctors at a private clinic in Enderby.

Huynh, the landlord, and the restaurant, were on the list. RCMP confirmed Friday that the weapon seized from Mitchell after he was shot by police was the same gun used in both the double homicide and the attempted murder of the landlord. The Vancouver Police Department is conducting a review to see if a weapon seized by Mitchell in Victoria and was later returned to him was the same one used in the shootings. Police said Tuesday a weapon seized in February from Mitchell by Victoria police, and later returned to him, has not been definitively identified as the firearm used in the Burnaby shootings. That matter is under review.

The limousine driver told Vernon RCMP he was having problems with some drunk passengers. As he told police this story, officers noticed liquor on the breath of the driver. Vernon RCMP were contacted by a limo driver at 11:15 p.m. Saturday as he was on Okanagan Landing Road at Dallas Road. “The driver was requesting assistance in removing a number of passengers from his limo,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “He advised police that several passengers
“The driver was requesting assistance in removing a number of passengers.” — Gord Molendyk were causing problems and were intoxicated.” While dealing with the complaint at roadside, some of the 18 passengers got out of the vehicle and wanted to know why the driver had stopped. “While our officers were speaking with the driver, the officer noticed an odour of liquor on the driver’s breath,” said Molendyk. The limo driver, a 51-year-old Kelowna
man, was given a breath demand, and he provided a sample of his breath into a roadside screening device which resulted in a fail. The driver was then taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital to provide a sample of his blood to determine the bloodalcohol level. Molendyk said a blood demand was requested due to medical conditions. The 18 passengers of
the limo continued on in taxis. Molendyk said it was not clear on the police file exactly where the passengers were from or why they were in the limousine, nor was it clear what exactly the disturbance was that caused the driver to phone RCMP. Molendyk added the driver is expected to face impaired driving charges when the results return from the lab.

Enderby is facing a situation many other B.C. communities have experienced in recent years. Doctors are packing their bags for other opportunities or retiring and that is leaving patients no one to turn to when their health deteriorates. That’s why Enderby’s decision to lobby the provincial government for policy changes is so critical. As it stands, each rural community is classified on an isolationbased point system which determines if incentives are available for doctors moving there. For towns fighting since it created its own athletic comlike Enderby, they rate very low mission in 2006.

or the record, mixed martial arts and boxing are not my cup of tea. But there are many people in the community who consider them a legitimate form of entertainment. And it’s that group that probably wonders what’s happened at Vernon city hall. Council has banned all professional boxing events in the community until a provincial athletic commission is established this fall. But the reasons behind the decision have not been revealed. “We have received some confidential information about professional sports that has led to us making that decision,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky. Huh? Richard Rolke An edict has been issued that impacts rankand-file residents who enjoy watching the odd bought or two, but elected officials don’t believe it’s necessary to provide an explanation? It’s a situation Sawatzky struggles with, particularly because one of his goals has been to improve communications at the city. “We don’t like to be unable to fully inform the public. It doesn’t fit our views of how a democracy works,” he said. Under provincial legislation, municipalities can work confidentially, or in-camera, if the issue pertains to land, legal or labour. In this case, the assumption is that council’s dealing with a legal matter. Has there been a lawsuit over an event, which the city sanctioned through its athletic commission? Is there the possibility the commission has over-stepped its authority? What is Sawatzky implying when he refers to “information about professional sports?” Vernon has been a leader in professional

E: "Library use decreases in Oyama and Cherryville" and Editorial re: "Libraries require open process" Ah, the joys of statistics. The article citing declines in use at Okanagan Regional Library branches in the North Okanagan was based on 2011 figures recently released in our executive summary, specifically on a comparison between circulation in 2010 and 2011. Circulation is the movement of ORL materials – when someone puts on hold on a book, or goes to pick one up in a branch or downloads an eBook from the website. However, the way that our database counts circulation changed between 2010 and 2011, starting to code online renewals to headquarters rather than one’s individual branch. When you look at the statistics, our headquarters had a 259 per cent increase in circulation with more than 100,000 BE RESPONSIBLE Responsibly, you walk your dog, You even bring a bag.

renewals attributed to it. It’s true that some branches are more or less busy than in previous years, but it's not accurate to imply that use of libraries has plummeted based on these figures alone. Approximately 10 per cent of circulation are renewals that are not accurately counted. Additionally, circulation is one of many measures indicating how busy the library is. People also visit the library to use the computer stations or take in a story time or read a magazine, so looking at these figures - such as program attendance (which in 2011 was the highest it has ever been in ORL history), web hits (up 8.9 per cent), downloads of digital materials (up 151 per cent) – gives a more complete picture of the ways people use the ORL. Marla O'Brien, Public Relations Officer Okanagan Regional Library
Minister George Abbott tops my list of the year's dumbest statements. Quote from Kiss FM: "Abbott says personalized learning will put every student at the centre of their own education and make them more accountable for their success." This is in regard to the offering of online courses etc. to kindergarten to Grade 9 students. What kindergarten to Grade 9 student actually has any idea where they want to go with their education? What percentage of Grade 10 to 12 students have any idea where they want to go? The only ones who can attempt to guide these people are the teachers who know them and can gauge their strengths and weaknesses and guide them on the correct paths. With education direction at the top so far out of touch with reality no wonder we have problems. The good news? Abbott will be gone soon. Stew Wallach
By midday, there will be a dozen of those ‘trails’ going across our valley. Those trails will slowly expand and they will be there all day. By the afternoon, it will seem as though it’s almost cloudy or hazy in the valley, when in reality, without those chemtrails, it would be clear blue sky – like it always used to be. It seems to me that there is a clear difference between the old jet plane contrails that we used to see so often and what we so often see today, a trail that stays in the sky all day long. It didn’t take much more than typing this question into Google to find that I’m not the only one asking about these cloudy trails in the sky. I strongly encourage everyone to google a documentary movie called What in the World are They Spraying? It’s online, it’s free and it’s very interesting. Perhaps most importantly, it’s shocking and disturbing. T.J. Perepolkin
WHAT ARE THEY SPRAYING? I’m sure almost everyone has a memory as a youngster of staring up into the sky as a plane flies high overhead, wondering where those people were going and wishing we were on that plane. A vivid part of that memory for me is the condensation trail that followed behind the plane giving almost a futuristic look. A contrail, short for a condensation trail, is the name for the long thin artificial clouds that sometimes form behind an aircraft. Their formation is often triggered by the water vapour in the exhaust of aircraft engines. It’s early Friday morning in mid-May, a day that looks and feels like it could be the first day of the Okanagan summer. Sadly, there are long streaks of what appear to be clouds or contrails going from horizon to horizon across our beautiful valley. Are those clouds? Are they contrails from a plane? The answer to both of those questions is sadly, in my opinion, no.

A routine traffic stop in Vernon resulted in RCMP officers discovering a stolen vehicle out of Ontario. Officers were doing speed enforcement Friday at 9 p.m. at 17th Avenue and 32nd Street when they stopped a Nissan Titan truck with a repair plate. “The driver, identified as a 34-year-old man from West Kelowna, told officers he had brought the vehicle from Alberta as he was going to do some work on it, and provided an Ontario registration document,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. Police then checked the vehicle identification number on the truck and it came back as reported stolen out of Ottawa on April 26. The driver and his girlfriend, also 34 from Kelowna, were detained while police conducted their investigation. “Ottawa confirmed the truck was stolen so it was towed in, and in a search of the truck, a bag of cocaine was located in the woman’s purse,” said Molendyk. Both suspects were taken into custody, then released on a promise to appear in court Aug. 2. The man is also facing a breach of condition charge as he was found to be in possession of a cell phone, a condition he was prohibited from resulting from a previous matter.

Studio puts pizzazz in Pirates
EARLE ENTERTAINS
P
irates of Penzance, a comic operetta by Britain’s Arthur Sullivan and W. S. Gilbert, produced by Melina Moore’s Valley Vocal Arts studio, successfully ran to sold-out audiences last week. The title is a double joke. Penzance is a small seaside town in Cornwall, U.K. –– hardly the place where you’d find pirates! The title also refers to theatrical “pirates” who staged unlicensed productions of H.M.S. Pinafore in America. In those days, U.S. law ignored overseas copyright protection. To secure the British copyright they performed a quick matinee at a tiny theatre in Devon before the premiere in New York. Actors read from scripts carried on stage, wearing whatever costumes were available. ßBy opening in New York they hoped to prevent further piracy. Premiered on Broadway in 1879, it opened in London three months later, where it ran for more than a year. Still performed 130 years later (the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company will re-mount it in 2013), it’s the most popular operetta ever performed in community theatres worldwide. Frederic (Andrew Nydam), now 21, is to be released from his reluctant apprenticeship to a band of pirates. For, when only eight years old, his deaf nursemaid
JIM ELDERTON
Brian Martin as Major General Stanley explains to the pirates that he’s still a very modern major general in Valley Vocal Arts presentation of The Pirates of Penzance. Ruth (Karen Bliss) had mistakenly apprenticed him to a pirate “instead of to a pilot!” This, one of several tragic revelations, displays the skill with which G&S parodied grand opera. Frederic can barely wait for freedom. He’s Jim Elderton never seen a woman other than Ruth, and he believes her to be beautiful. The pirates know better, and the double entendres provide the pantomime element that makes G&S so popular. Frederic invites the pirates to abandon piracy so that he need not destroy them. But the Pirate King (Scott May) maintains that, compared with conventional respectability, piracy is honest toil (“Oh! better far to live and die.”) On a beach, Frederic encounters beautiful young girls, and realizes that Ruth had lied to him about her beauty (“Oh false one! You have deceived me!”) He appeals to them to help him reform
CLASSICAL NOTES
(“Oh! is there not one maiden breast?”) One of them, Mabel (Analysa Tylor), responding to his plea, chides her sisters for their lack of charity. The two fall in love. Mabel’s sisters contemplate whether to eavesdrop or to leave the couple alone, eventually deciding to “talk about the weather.” A hilarious scene follows, when the remaining 13 daughters (led by Susan Evans, Jeannine Kuemmerle and Vicki Proulx) don outlandish sunglasses and shuffleas-one across the stage. This was typical of Moore’s comic inventiveness. G&S had always poked fun at British dignitaries and mannerisms, and it’s become a tradition for new productions to push the envelope further. The girls’ father, Major-General Stanley (Brian Martin) arrives. Now an old man, he’s quick to affirm that he’s still “the very model of a modern Major-General.” This song has become THE quintessential G&S patter song. It’s hard to sing, and it’s sung very fast. Moore’s
direction produced an absolute show-stopper. After Martin successfully sang it as fast as I’ve ever heard, the Pirate King persuaded him to sing it even faster. In a hilariously choreographed scene with Ruth and the Pirate King, Frederic discovers that he was born on Feb. 29. So he only has birthdays on leap years, meaning he’s just five years old. His sense of duty means that he must remain a pirate till his 21st birthday, and Mabel must wait another 63 years. They sing one of G&S’s most poignant duets: “Ah, leave me not to pine alone and desolate.” What tragedy! The production has a huge cast, and there’s the problem: with a shortage of adults, some kids had to play way beyond their years. They acted valiantly and with gusto, however, suspension of belief only goes so far. In the last scene the Major General forgives the pirates: “Resume your ranks, I’m so glad you’re not thespians! And take my daughters, all of whom are (pause) Presbyterians.”

Arts Atwood novel basis of documentary Vernon Film Society
The Vernon Film Society’s last show of the spring season, Monday, is Payback, a documentary based on Margaret Atwood’s visionary book, Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth. The film was directed by Jennifer Baichwal who many will remember as the director of the acclaimed documentary Manufactured
Landscapes. As she did with Edward Burtynsky’s photography in that film, Baichwal uses Atwood’s work as a springboard for her own poetic meditations, offering a revealing look at how debt in its various forms –– personal, social, environmental, spiritual, criminal and of course, economic –– has become a central structuring principle in our lives and a crucial factor
in the ultimate fate of our planet. With Atwood herself on hand to provide intellectual guidance, Baichwal contemplates a blood feud in northern Albania, the terrible working conditions of tomato pickers in Florida, and the aftermath of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Interview subjects include participants and witnesses and a smatter-

ing of experts, among them the economist Raj Patel, the ecologist William Rees, Louise Arbour, and the scholar of religion Karen Armstrong. The cinematography (Nicholas de Pencier, Baichwal’s husband) is a stunning backdrop to a film which gives everyone much to think about and invites viewers to reconsider the roots of social inequity, what we value, and the links between debtor and creditor across centuries and cultures, vividly showing how debt has become an innate part of the human experience. The film shows at the Vernon Towne Cinema at the usual times of 5:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. Tickets are $7, available one week prior at the Bean Scene and the Towne. Programs for the three films to be shown for the Vernon Film Society’s summer season will be available at all the usual outlets and at the Towne.

Heard This One Before, is currently on view at Gallery Vertigo. Her work explores language, and perception through non-traditional fibre techniques. “DiPlacido’s exhibition at Gallery Vertigo cannot help but create associations to our everyday lives,” said Vertigo director Heidi Maddess. “She is showing a series of inside jokes that have design rules in forms of formal etiquette and colour rebuttals imposed on them.” DiPlacido uses handdyed stretched colour panels paired with panels of embroidered text in order to compose a platform for social and institutional critique. “The colour panels encourage the eye to weave between colour field, gallery white, and language,” said Maddess. “The words and phrases reveal man’s compulsion to compartmentalize monotony and attrac-
tion to the familiar. One immediately understands the implied satire by the absurdities and praising sincere intent.” An artist and educator living in Pittsburgh, DiPlacido has exhibited her work throughout the U.S., including solo exhibitions at Lynn Arts, The Monongalia Art Center, and The Holzwasser Gallery. Her work has been accepted into The Art Farm, Art 342 Residency, and the Vermont Studio Center. She earned her bachelor of fine arts at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2007, and her masters in fine art at Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2009, and is also the owner of the small business, The Dear Dyery, which specializes in hand-dyed clothing and accessories. Also on view at Gallery Vertigo is Annerose Georgeson’s Among Trees. Born in Switzerland,
Georgeson moved to Canada with her family when she was three years old. Her ties to landscape started from her sense of attachment to a new land that was very different to what she had known before, said Maddess. “Using her environment as inspiration has continued in Georgeson’s work for her subject matter reflects the same home in Vanderhoof that her family has owned since arriving in Canada.” In the body of work exhibited at Gallery Vertigo entitled Among Trees, Georgeson explores the various states of forest in her environment, including logging, fires, farming and the pine beetle. An opening reception for both exhibitions takes place Saturday from 7 to 9 p.m. Both continue at Gallery Vertigo, #1-300131st St. (upstairs), until July 14.

Lead vocalist/guitarist Curtis Paul and bassist Darren Dolman of blues-rock band Crossfire are coming home to be among the performers on the entertainment stage at Lumby Days this weekend. The band, which will perform songs from their new CD Alive and Well, Friday at 8:30 p.m., recently signed a recording and artist development contract with HMP Recording and Development Inc. They joined 22 solo artists and bands in a showcase that toured five Canadian cities, including Kelowna, recently.
Arts council holds showcase at Lumby Days Morning Star Staff
The Monashee Arts Council is planning to offer a new series of art classes and workshops to area residents this coming fall. To promote the new series, the council is hosting an artist workshop showcase as part of Lumby Jennifer Days this weekGreenwood end. The showcase will allow local artists and artisans to promote potential classes to a wide audience at a well-attended public event. The council will have representatives circulating throughout the venue to gather feedback about the public’s interest in specific workshops
and to distribute brochures and flyers outlining potential courses. “This opportunity for artists/ instructors to connect face-to-face with the public will give us crucial information that we can use to tailor the classes’ content specifically to meet students’ needs and interests,” said Jennifer Greenwood, the Monashee Arts Council’s new arts and culture program coordinator. “As well, the entire showcase will be invaluable as early publicity that will help make the fall art class program a success.” For more information about the upcoming arts programs, contact Greenwood at 778-473-3029, by email at monasheeartscouncil@ gmail.com, or stop by the office at 1961 Vernon St., (formerly Lumby’s Family Cafe) during office hours: Tuesday to Thursday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

CARA BRADY/MORNING STAR
Family Resource Centre Society for the North Okanagan board member Barb Keith wants the community to know that the centre has a variety of support programs and information for people of all ages.
Supporting families for 20 years CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
The Family Resource Centre for the North Okanagan celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, continuing core programs and adding others as needed. “There is huge confidentiality with all our programs so sometimes we feel that people don’t know what is available here for them,” said Jan Schulz, executive director. The centre provides counseling, support and therapeutic programs with qualified staff members for individuals, families and groups. Most programs are free but there is a charge for some group programs. Payment for programs is on a sliding scale to keep things affordable and accessible to everyone. The Family Resource Centre started when counselors and other professionals in the community saw that there were gaps in services and that some people could not afford the assistance they needed. The centre, with a volunteer board of directors, has some funding from Interior Health and the provincial government and receives a grant from the United Way for some programs but must also rely on fundraising and donations. The centre started with two programs which are still running, community counseling and community support volunteers. Programs now include PIE (Parenting Isn’t Easy), family support, sexual abuse recovery, sexual abuse intervention, counseling for children and youth with psychiatric disorders, senior support volunteers, couples’ groups, anger management groups, children’s groups (including grief and loss and separation and divorce, and social
skills and team-building) and African style dance for women. Participation in most groups is by self-referral. “We like self-referral because it means the person recognizes that there is something that needs to change and they are ready to do the work,” said Schulz. People who refer themselves to the centre can come for an assessment interview to help them determine which group would work for them. If the centre does not have a suitable group for an individual, it will make referrals to other community services.
“Our reward is the change that the programs can make in people’s lives.” — Jan Schulz “The children’s groups are very important because the pressure of our society on children is so tremendous,” said Barb Keith, a member of the board of directors for the Family Resource Centre. Centre help includes short-term financial assistance to help people get settled into jobs or go back to school, and Christmas hampers. Other assistance might take the form of getting families a Good Food Box (fresh vegetables and fruit to make healthy meals) for a year or helping families whose children have severe medical needs. Counselors train volunteers to work in the community support program, with seniors and with groups. The centre, with
a staff of 25, sees about 1,500 ongoing, new and returning clients each year. “I grew up with a single mother and I know what it takes to raise a family. I want to give back to the community by doing something to help make things better for people when they need it,” said Keith, who is retired from work in the federal government. “I am pleased to be on the board of directors. We don’t direct the daily operations of the centre but we help establish goals and objectives and the budget with the executive director. With our chairman, Marcel Korver, we are accountable to the community for the support that they give to the centre.” The Family Resouce Centre Society of the North Okanagan is accredited through the Commission of Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, a North Americawide organization that does independent performance analysis of programs and staff qualifications. “Our reward is the change that the programs can make in peoples’ lives,” said Schulz. “Sometimes it is totally amazing, they don’t even look like the same person who came in when they leave, and have learned how to cope with the issues in their lives.” One program where she sees a lot of change is the Shame Busters support group where people discover that they are not alone in shame and that they can let shame go or deal with it in a healthy way. The next Family Resource Centre fundraiser will be the popular Masquerade Ball back for a second year Oct. 20. The Family Resource Centre offices are in The People Place. For more information about programs call 250-545-3390 or see www.vernonfrc.ca.

ecades ago, when I was growing up, we had heat as a usual constant from May until the end of September. Even in high school we learned about the Okanagan’s, semi-arid (desert) conditions where we could expect only between 10 and 12 inches of rain in a year. Yes, of course we had rainy days back then, but most often it was an appreciated break from the sweltering heat. Now, here we are in the month of June, and as I write, it again is cool and rainy outside; for me it’s depressing losing the semi-arid status of yester-year with its long weeks of sunshine and hot temperatures. One thing many of us tend to enjoy on cooler days is
It’s time to heat up summer cooking or baking and today I’m offering two recipes that are summer favourites. Perhaps keep them in mind for Father’s Day.

Big Red returns to the race track Morning Star Staff
Five students from Pleasant Valley secondary school in Armstrong had a thrilling weekend recently at the 1/4 mile drag racing track in Ashcroft. The event marked a revival for the school dragcar that had last been used in the 1996 to 2000 school years. The 1969 Pontiac Grand Prix was affectionately nicknamed “Big Red” by the original student builders in 1996 for its shiny red coat of paint. “I was surprised to find Big Red scattered in pieces around the school shop when I returned to teach at PVSS six years ago,” said automotive instructor Peter Tujik. “It took over two years of work and scrounging, to put the car back together in running order without a budget.” Two years ago a group of students made a commitment to raise funds for racing by rebuilding a donated car with a blown motor. Last fall, they hosted a car show at the school with the aid of local car clubs. The PVSS PAC also helped with funds to update safety equipment on the race car. “While much of the mechanical
systems like the brakes and engine have been completely rebuilt in the past year, the exterior of the car looks exactly as it did when it was last raced 12 years ago,” said Tujik. “This includes decals from several sponsoring companies that no longer exist in the north end of the valley.” The car races in the High School class of bracket racing where students require an “N” licence and school registration with the BC High School Motorsport Association. They are limited to elapsed times of 12 seconds or slower down the 1/4 mile track, but do not need to have elaborately built race cars to compete. Student Kyle Tyrrell proved this point by successfully racing his Honda Civic. Big Red has gone back into storage for the time being until government contract negotiations with teachers move ahead and teachers resume extra-curricular activities again. “I hope future students of PVSS can enjoy opportunities to race a fast car in a safe environment and keep racing off the streets,” said Tujik. ”Big Red will be waiting.”

Massive Falkland grow-op busted Morning Star Staff
RCMP have shut down what they are calling one of the largest marijuana grow operations ever in the North Okanagan. On Wednesday, RCMP officers searched a rural property in the 4300 block of Culling Road in the Falkland area after a lengthy investigation. “The search located 13,383 marijuana plants is various stages of development in a large outbuilding,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson
VERNON TOYOTA
The operation was being run off a generator for its power supply. “This is one of the largest grow operations we have dismantled in the area,” said Sgt. Dave Evans, of the RCMP’s rural detachment. “This is just one more of the illegal grow operations we have targeted in our area. We will continue to conduct these kinds of investigations in the future.” A 38-year-old man was taken into custody at the Culling Road property.

Water park splashes to life RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Cooling off will become a lot more fun for Lumby youth. The community is moving ahead with a water spray park after the provincial government announced $348,258 for upgrades to Oval Park Tuesday. “It’s going to be amazing,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. “If we want youth in our community, we need facilities for them.” Presently, children have access to the swimming pool but it’s not well designed to handle toddlers. Besides the spray park for children, outdoor fitness equipment will be installed in Oval Park. “It’s a great project because it covers both ends of the demographic scale — children and adults,” said Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, adding that
“If we want youth in our community, we need facilities for them.” — Kevin Acton the exercise equipment will be popular with seniors. “These kinds of projects enhance the community.” Foster believes it is important for the provincial government to assist communities with recreational amenities because of the cost of infrastructure. “Some times you get behind when you’re also having to deal with water, roads and sewer,” he said. The total price tag for the spray
park and fitness equipment will be $435,322, with Lumby and Cherryville taxpayers contributing $57,064. There will also be $30,000 from the Teddy’s Angels and Martin’s Devils ball teams and support from the Lumby Lions. “We are thankful these opportunities are available given the economic times,” said Rick Fairbairn, White Valley Parks and Recreation chairperson. “All of this provides an opportunity for the community to come together with a beautiful area the community can be proud of.” While there had been a concern about the spray park sending the wrong message about water conservation, Acton says any water used will be recycled. “We have to be responsible with our water and good stewards of the resource,” he said.

The third-place finisher in the race for Vernon mayor outspent his competitors combined. Patrick Davies had expenses of $31,208 during the November election, while $19,689 was spent by Rob Sawatzky, who led the polls, and incumbent Wayne Lippert, who came second, had $10,900 in expenses. “My intention was to get a replacement for the mayor at the time and it happened. If it took $31,000, it was a good deal,” said Davies. “It would have been nice to win. But the success was we got people who had never voted before excited.” Davies put significant personal resources into his campaign, according to documents filed with the City of Vernon. He contributed $7,639 while there was $5,000 from Latitude Marine which he owns and $5,050 from Naked Media which operates out of his Patrick Davies house. Other donations included $4,000 from Walter Davies, $2,000 from Aldebaran Enterprises and $1,500 from Brad Chapman. The biggest expenses for Davies were advertising, signs and pamphlets. “As a businessperson out of nowhere and a young guy, we had to get out there and give everything we had,” said Davies. Of his $19,689 in expenses, Sawatzky directed most of it to getting the word out through signs and advertising. “It’s the sad reality that this is what you have to do,” said Sawatzky of the dollars required to launch a campaign. Sawatzky pumped $13,500 of his own money into his inaugural run for mayor. “Given that I didn’t have a high profile and business roots, I was OK with picking up the cost,” said Sawatzky. “I was looking at it as community service.” Sawatzky received $4,600 in donations worth more than $100 and $408 valued less than $99. His donors included $750 from Lakeside Developments and $500 each from Cecil Schmidt, Victor Cumming and Robert Ross. Sawatzky says he still doesn’t know who some of his supporters were and those issues were left to his business agent. “The more independence you can have the better,” he said of serving as mayor. Like the other mayoralty candidates, Lippert’s spending focused on creating public awareness. He had $10,850 in contributions over $100 and $50 under $99 in value. Among the donors were $3,000 from Wesbild Holdings, $1,000 from R.L. Walker Contracting and $500 each from Tavistock Properties, Okanagan Spirits and the Vernon Professional Firefighters Association. Documents indicate Lippert provided $100. Lippert could not be reached for comment. Of the 15 councillor candidates, Patrick Nicol, who topped the polls, spent $13,233 of his own money. Lily Kerr, who came in 13th, spent the least at $297, with $300 being donated by 1&2 Electric.

The man who tried to rob a Coldstream woman in the Lincoln Lanes parking lot in November has been given jail time. Judge Mark Takahashi sentenced Robin Edward Konkle, 41, to 20 months in prison in Vernon Provincial Court Wednesday, after Konkle pleaded guilty to armed robbery. Konkle was also ordered to provide a DNA sample, and was given a 10-year mandatory firearms prohibition. The woman had finished her bowling league games and was returning to her car in the parking lot on Nov. 25 when she was approached by a man the woman had seen inside the bowling alley drinking a pop and playing with his cell phone. The woman said the man demanded money as she opened her car door, and she instinctively pressed her car horn, scaring off the suspect. A video surveillance camera inside the bowling alley caught an image of the suspect, which local media broadcast. A man was arrested a few days later by Vernon RCMP, who received tips from the public thanks in part to the video footage.

City tops rate of ER cancer patients RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Vernon leads the world when it comes to people arriving at the emergency room in pain and not knowing they have cancer. A recent study indicates that of 75 patients requiring colorectal cancer treatment between April 2009 and March 2010, 43 per cent showed up at Vernon Jubilee Hospital on an emergency basis for bowel obstruction, hemorrhages and perforations. They were first diagnosed with cancer while in the ER. “It’s very, very high. It ranges from six to 36 per cent (elsewhere),” said Dr. Hamish Hwang, a local surgeon who authored the study, which was published in the B.C. Medical Journal. “It’s the highest published data in the world.” He became intrigued with the topic after moving to Vernon six years ago. “I would see one of these patients about
“It’s the highest published data in the world.” — Dr. Hwang once a month. It’s unusual because I didn’t see it as often in Vancouver.” Hwang believes there may be a high number of colorectal cancer cases because of the region’s elderly population. Many aren’t being diagnosed early possibly because they don’t have a family doctor or they aren’t accessing health care services. “People, for some reason, are not going to see the doctor,” he said. Hwang also expects some people avoid screening because the colon is involved. “People are embarrassed but they shouldn’t
be.” Not being aware of the situation until a patient arrives in ER makes it more challenging for doctors if the cancer has spread. There is also pressure on limited space in the hospital. “The ones that come in emergency on average stay 24 days in the hospital, twice as long as non-emergency cases,” said Hwang. “When the hospital is at capacity, this is a huge burden.” Colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer in men and the third most in women. It is the leading cause of cancer death in non-smokers. Hwang is calling on the provincial government to initiate a colorectal screening program, something that currently doesn’t exist. “For countries with screening, emergency rates are lower. Italy is six per cent,” said Hwang. “There’s no checks and balances for these
people.” Hwang is also putting the onus on residents to become active in preventing the disease. “People need to take charge of their health,” he said. Hwang recommends colonoscopies for people with a family history of colon cancer and fecal occult blood tests or fecal immunochemical tests for anyone over age 50 (not covered by the Medical Services Plan). Hwang believes lessons can be learned from VJH as B.C.’s population continues to age. “Vernon is a crystal ball for the whole province. What’s happening in Vernon will be the whole province in 25 years,” he said of 22 per cent of the city’s total population being more than 65 years old. “Now is the time to be doing something. I hope this study is a wake-up call for the government and the public.”

Extracurricular activities get the axe RICHARD ROLKE
MLA defends teachers’ right to action RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster isn’t criticizing teachers for pulling out of after-hours programs. Teachers in the Vernon School District will withdraw from extracurricular activities to protest the government’s back-to-work legislation. “It’s disappointing but it’s a volunteer thing and no one says teachers have to go beyond their contract,” said Foster of helping with sports teams and clubs. “A lot of teachers feel bad but
VERNON TOYOTA
“No one says teachers have to go beyond their contract.” — Eric Foster they have to do what they believe they have to do. My friends who are teachers don’t want to hurt students and they’re getting a lot of rhetoric from their union.” The government’s legislation was expected to be adopted into law Thursday.
Under Bill 22, the government will be able to name a mediator to settle the dispute with the B.C. Teachers Association, but Victoria’s mandate of net-zero for wages must be adhered to. “Every other government union has settled for net-zero and the
BCTF will have to do the same,” said Foster, adding the government is willing to discuss issues surrounding class size and composition. Foster says the government had no choice but to bring debate of the bill to an end because NDP opposition members were grandstanding. “They asked how much the government and union spent on sandwiches (at meetings). It’s a total waste of time,” he said. “Get up and ask questions. Bring forward constructive amendments and we’ll look at them. Just
don’t say something over and over again.” The official opposition defends its actions in the Legislature. “This bill gives up on the future, gives up on the possibility of doing it better, gives up on our public schools,” said Adrian Dix, NDP leader, in the House. “We will not support legislation that hurts class size provisions. We will not support legislation that hurts class composition provisions. We will not support legislation that puts an end to real mediation and imposes a disrespectful process on teachers.”
Funding details for Vernon Jubilee Hospital are just a few weeks away. Health Minister Michael de Jong will be in Vernon April 2 or 3 to announce capital spending for new acute care beds in VJH’s Polson tower. “It will be a positive announcement and the details of the announcement will be released when he’s here,” said Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA. Foster, community leaders, health care workers and residents have been demanding the two shelled-in floors in Eric Foster the tower be completed and beds added to resolve capacity issues. Overcrowding has led to cancelled surgeries and patients being kept in hallways. Foster hasn’t been given an indication if there will be funding for both floors or just one at this time. “I’d like two floors.

We’re working hard to improve education.” School district officials say administrators will be unable to keep extracurricular programs going. “It will have a huge impact on the culture of schools and that worries me,” said Bev Rundell, superintendent, adding some sports may continue with community coaches. A priority will be grad planning. “Grad activities may be different if it’s just principals and vice-principals involved in the organizing,” said Rundell. Besides Vernon, teachers in other districts have decided to withdraw from extracurricular activities. They include KamloopsThompson, Sooke, Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows, Prince George, Peace River South, Creston, West Vancouver, Okanagan Skaha and Sea-to-Sky.

Camp Day ready to brew record JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Tim Hortons hopes to serve up a record number of coffees today in order to make a difference in the lives of local kids. Today is Camp Day at all four local Tim Hortons locations, which means all the proceeds from coffee sales will be donated
to the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation to send kids to camp. “Eight kids from Vernon get sent every year,” said Vernon Tim Hortons owner Dan Currie. “All these kids get to go experience something they normally wouldn’t get to do.” Kids, whose families wouldn’t normally be
able to afford camp, get to have fun, take part in self-esteem, leadership and team building activities at one of the foundation’s six camps in Canada and the U.S. “So come down and buy a coffee and send a kid to camp,” encourages Currie. A number of additional activities will be
taking part in the local Tim Hortons stores. They include window washing at the drive thru, local celebrities serving coffee (including Mayor Rob Sawatzky at the Okanagan Landing location), special Camp Day doughnuts, balloon pops for prizes and more. “We’re hoping to
raise over $25,000 this year and nationally we’re hoping to surpass the $10 million mark,” said Currie of the event that has been raising funds for more than 20 years. You also have the option to donate online at www.timhor tons.com/ca/en/ difference/camp_day. html

The shelves at the Vernon food bank are well stocked again. The 37th annual Creative Chaos craft fair raised 124 banana boxes of food for the Salvation Army, as well as $4,817 in cash donations and bottle returns. “We broke all previous records on the amount of cash collected,” said Joanne Horvath, with Creative Chaos. Creative Chaos started Friday at the Vernon Recreation Complex and ran until Sunday. It’s believed that about 20,000 people passed through the doors. “Our thanks goes out to the many vendors who participated in the show from all over B.C., the Pacific Northwest and different provinces to the east, as far as Ontario,” said Horvath. The 38th annual Creative Chaos will run from June 7 to 9, 2013.

United U12s run over Kelowna Morning Star Staff
Vernon United #2 shocked Kelowna United #1 4-1 and drew 2-2 with Kelowna #2 in Thompson Okanagan Under 12 Boys Rep Development Soccer League play Sunday at Marshall Field. Keeper Noah Schneider was fabulous in both games for Roy Cooper’s side. Steven Benischek pounced on a Mika Burns rebound for United’s first goal in their morning game. Owen Miller started the play with a throw in to Burns. Ben Purvis converted a cross from Miller for United’s second goal, while the two combined again, this time with Miller finishing low. CJ Storey nodded in a cross by Braeden Cooper for Vernon’s last goal. In their noon match, Purvis controlled a throw in by Storey and went top shelf, while Danny Saunders took a soft-touch feed from Miller and scored after a short dribble. Adam Raber and Dylan Huber sparkled defensively.
Saunders sparks United #1 United #1 also enjoyed a super Sunday, slamming Shuswap 4-0 before battling Kamloops Blaze Orange to a scoreless draw. Saunders ran miles up front and finished with one goal and two assists to spark United past Shuswap. Saunders crossed a ball in tight which struck the keeper and allowed Drayen Dougan to knock in the rebound, putting United up 2-1. Chris Atkins converted Vernon’s third goal after a pass from Dexter Weiten. Saunders ripped a corner near side which was neatly backfooted in by a leaping Nick Mitchell for the final United goal. Ever-improving central defender Cody Webb anchored a stubborn United back line with great support by Seb Wenger, Jarrod Latta and Micah Martens. In Game 2, Mitchell and Martens both made a handful of big saves to share the shutout, Martens charging out and challenging one of the big Blaze strikers for a 50-50 ball which he won. Good hustle came from Man of the Match Dougan, Joe Eggert, Kody Kongsdorf, Burns and Alex Ogunbiyi with Dougan showing some feisty and fearless checking against the physical Blaze.
Vernon U13s torch Blaze Vernon bounced the Kamloops Blaze 5-1 in U13 Boys play Sunday at McArthur Island Sports Centre. Vernon led 3-0 at the half, opening the attack at 12 minutes when Malcolm Wiens

A minute later Wiens doubled the lead, again getting excellent service, this time from Langdon Kersey. Matthew Jackson received a pass up the left side from Morgan Nichols and buried it just before the break. The back line of Owen Burnet, Sam Eggert, Cameron Mackenzie and Nichols were solid in thwarting the Blaze attack and distributing the ball nicely up the wings. Five minutes into the second half, the onslaught continued as a beautiful cross from the right side was flicked on by Wyatt Carter. The Kamloops keeper made a play for the ball but was beat out by Kenzel Arts-Roman who converted. Kamloops scored 21 minutes into the second half on a long free kick that snuck over keeper Elias Jensen. Vernon stormed back a minute later, restoring the four-goal margin as Wiens outran the outside defender and put a cross in that Tiege Doughty finished. Stellar performances also came from Liam
Hennig on the wing and Charis Ondirk in central midfield.
Under 11 Boys bank wins The United U11 #1 Boys stopped Shuswap 4-0 and toppled Kelowna 5-1 Sunday in Salmon Arm. In Game 1, Vernon’s defence of Hunter Housego, Gerritt Van Soest, and Ian Oliphant stood strong and didn’t allow hard-pressing Shuswap to capitalize in the early going. United woke up and got their first goal off a blocked free kick outside the 18-yard box that landed on the foot of Cole Johnson, who moved to his left blasting a shot that was redirected by Zack Laranjo. Shuswap pushed back to start the second half but Vernon turned strong defence into offence with a quick transition from Housego, clearing a ball that was chipped forward to Isaiah Ondrik who deftly punched one in after beating the defender. Ty Ogasawara, playing midfield, showed some great ball control skills and support, and

speedy Joseph Neufeld, arriving at the field on crutches, played another gutsy match. On Vernon’s third goal, Van Soest cleared a ball through to Ondrik who slid it over to Johnson for a blast inside the post. Neufeld then fed Ondrik for a strong left boot to complete the offence. Keeper Tane Purcell was solid for the shutout. Vernon also started slow versus Kelowna, who had a few early chances stopped by Purcell. Ogasawara delivered a sweet ball to Ondrik who outran the defender and slid by the keeper for a tap-in opening tally. Vernon went up 2-0 on an indirect free kick set up by Laranjo to Johnson who hammered a shot from outside the 18 top shelf. Kelowna replied after an botched clearing attempt, but Vernon responded with some of their best soccer of the season for the next 40 minutes. Ondrik slid the ball to Johnson who beat his man with a shot and the rebound ended up on Laranjo’s foot for his second goal. Joey Rodak continued his slick play with some beautiful passing and pressure on loose balls and Ogasawara played his usual strong midfield game. Johnson turned up the pressure on the Kelowna defence winning a ball off two defenders and sliding a slick left footer against the grain past the keeper. Vernon capped things with Johnson pumping in a penalty shot after a hand ball call.
U15 Girls upend Pinnacles The United U15 Girls girls clipped the Penticton Pinnacles 2-1 Saturday at MacDonald Park and overcame a 2-0 deficit to shade host Kamloops Blaze Orange 3-2 Sunday. Winger AJ Jacura opened the Saturday scoring for John Hughes’ crew. Penticton drew even on a penalty kick in the second half, while Vernon won the game on a lovely curving free kick by Riley Martian. United then effectively killed off the game with strong play from Jacura and Hannah Love on the wings, and fabulous work in the centre midfield by Shelby Hughes and Tiegan Moore. Julia Kemper was sharp in net, getting special back line support. Kamloops Orange opened the Sunday scoring in the first half on a penalty and went up 2-0 on a lovely run by a winger who muscled a shot which beat the outstretched hand of Kemper. Sandwiched in between was an excellent reflex save by Kemper.

Cats tie up Venom Morning Star Staff
Trailing 3-1 after 20 minutes, Vernon fired a trio of goals in both the second and third periods. Ryan Landels led the 2-5-1 Tiger attack with three goals and an assist, while Nolan Frame chipped in with 2+1 and Sean Connors and Darrell Landels each had a goal and an assist. Mike Quarin added two helpers. Joel Fruncillo turned aside 43 shots and recorded a helper for Vernon. Mike Saklofsky fired a pair of goals for the 5-0-1 Venom, with a goal and three assists coming from Quinn Smith. “The game had a relentless pace to it and the team played with a very determined effort where I believe the boys were sending Kamloops a message in saying ‘We don’t care how talented you are, you can be beat.’” The Tigers weren’t as fortunate in a rematch Sunday night as they bowed 14-11 to the Venom at Kamloops Memorial Arena. Darrell Landels turned the hat trick, with other offence coming from Quarin (2+2), Frame (2+1), Bayne ★★★ ★★★ Bosquet (2), Ryan Landels (1+6) and Ryan Sarazin.

The Vernon Re/Max Tigers came within three seconds of handing the powerhouse Kamloops Venom their first loss of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League season Saturday night. Instead, the Venom pulled goalie Mike Frolek (28 saves) for the extra attacker and buried a late powerplay goal to salvage a 7-7 draw at Wesbild Centre. “Kamloops was lucky to receive a point from the game as we were assessed a penalty on a technical chin strap call with 1:15 left in the game,” said Tigers’ head coach Myles Brumpton. “The boys played well in every facet of the game, from winning loose ball battles to generating quality chances on offence and then punishing the Venom players who came inside the dotted line in the defensive end of the floor.”

To have the game come back and make it 11-10 it’s hard to be disappointed. “They’re starting to come together as a team. They’re really buying into the program

The Baby Rocks visit the Tigers Saturday night (6:30) for the first game of a doubleheader at Wesbild. The Senior Rocks and Cats battle in the second tilt at 8 p.m.
U14 Girls blank Blaze Blue Continued from A29 Vernon looked distraught until a scintillating run by Martian on the right side followed by a lovely cross resulted in a goal amidst a collision between striker Tamara Andronik and a Kamloops defender. Martian again drove down the right side and was fouled in the penalty area. Moore confidently converted the equalizer, and moments later, Moore calmly converted another penalty giving Vernon the dramatic win. In U14 Girls play, Vernon blanked Kamloops Blaze Blue 2-0 Sunday at McArthur Island. The game started as a back and forth struggle with both teams working hard. Maddie Laranjo opened the scoring with great hustle to get by the defence and then calmly outwait the keeper for a tap in while going full speed. Vernon came alive with a few more scoring chances and finished the half allowing only three shots on net. Midway through the second half, Cayleigh Graham nailed the ball low far side to put Vernon up 2-0. Anna Rice showed good ball control, had a great work ethic and knew where to be all game, while Kara Ross played with passion and won countless one-on-one battles. “We worked as one unit supporting each other and the dee kept the ball in offensive end to let the forwards do their work,” said United coach Brett Bandy.

in goal saving multiple attempts and nearly scoring from United’s defensive end. Olivia McLennan had a steal and put one away behind the Kamloops keeper for United’s first goal, while Keira Correia had a great run up the field moving by several Kamloops defenders to net the second goal. Second-half keeper Emilia Durfield had help from Paige Noakes and Lynley Gordon-Mason in the defensive end and managed to keep Kamloops from getting the go-ahead goal. In Game 2, Nadia Smith and Makena Kersey were solid on the defensive line while Mia Dougan and Jayden Strachan dug deep on the forward line keeping United in Kelowna’s end most of the first half. Ashton Cashato put several long kicks up the field for forward in the first half. Jones anchored the Vernon defence and Yablonski recorded some clutch saves late. The United #1 U11 Girls played hard, physical games in 2-0 and 3-0 losses to Kelowna sides Sunday. United started strong in the first game, with Kiara Haydamack, Kelsey Carriere, and Emily Thomas showing great skill and composure to control the middle of the field. Defenders Elliana Gutnecht, Carly Southam and Laryssa Fletcher worked the ball up the sides of the field well, and Danica Ariano put great pressure on the keeper. Erica Simpson and Gabrielle Triggs were superb in sharing goalkeeping duties. In the second game, Vernon stepped up their intensity, matching Kelowna’s physical game, while maintaining their composure. Great runs by Elena Gaskell and Grace Atkins on the offensive line caused trouble for Kelowna’s defence.

The Vernon Vipers have learned the price they will have to pay for bringing in veteran forward Colton Cyr at last season’s B.C. Hockey League trade deadline. The Vipers dealt the rights of defenceman Max Mowat to the Trail Smoke Eaters as the future considerations part of a three-way deadline transaction that brought Cyr to Vernon. The Snakes initially acquired forward Clayton Chessa from the Smokies, and then flipped Chessa to the Nanaimo Clippers in exchange for Cyr. “Obviously it was a bit of a shock to me,” said Mowat. “I was pretty jacked up to have heard the RBC Cup (national Junior A championships) was coming to Vernon for my 20-year-old year, but I guess that’s out of the equation now. “My goal now is to help my new team win. I just want to close off on thanking the whole Viper organization and all the great fans for the two awesome years I got to play in my hometown.” Added Vipers’ head coach/GM Jason Williamson: “He was the one they targeted and came after. We were in a tough spot on Jan. 10 when (forward Dylan) Walchuk left and went to Spokane (Chiefs, WHL). We had to add an older body to try and get in (to playoffs) and make a push. “Looking back on it, Colton Cyr was a good acquisition for our club. It’s always tough when you trade a hometown kid away, but it’s part of the business.” Over two seasons with the Vipers, Mowat, a Vernon native who turns 19 later this month, accumulated three goals

Head coach Jason Williamson (left) goes over instructions with defenceman Max Mowat at a Vernon Vipers’ practice last season. The Trail Smoke Eaters acquired Mowat as the future considerations part of a three-team deal that brought forward Colton Cyr to the Viper den. for 25 points in 80 games. While not an overly physical defenceman, Mowat provided a steady presence on the blueline and could be counted on to make the simple play. “Max is a good player and that’s the reason they wanted him,” said Williamson “He has Royal Bank Cup experience.” SNAKE BITES: Williamson and Clippers’ head coach Mike Vandekamp are heading a newly formed coaches committee that will review league rules and policies and make recommendations

Sports Kal Tire falls 7-3 to Lake boys Morning Star Staff
Kal Tire fell 7-3 to Lake Country Variform in Okanagan Men’s 35+ Soccer League play Monday night at Beasley Park. Kal Tire went up 1-0 midway through the first half on some great work by Bryan Lambert to get the ball deep to striker Rolf Hirschkorn who brilliantly crossed the ball through the crease for Glenn Allan to finish. Kal Tire (0-6-1) went ahead early in the second half again with some effort from Lambert and a finish by Bobby Zalcik. After Lake Country
tied it up, Lambert’s tireless work netted another Tiremen goal before Lake Country (5-2) reeled off five unanswered tallies. The Vernon Celtics lost 4-1 to People’s Insulation st Mission #74. A good first competitive 30 minutes was interrupted by a numerous yellow cards which unfortunately changed the game. The Celtic (3-2-2) played with a man down for the second half. Strong performances came from Jesse Knight, with a goal, Tim McGowan, Ryan Leibel and keeper Mike Collins.

Big O Tire/Turn-Key Ogopogos’ striker Mark Wasylyk controls the ball while being marked by Alex De Boersap of Bosman Accounting in Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League play Monday night at Marshall Field.
Camels close down IGA Morning Star Staff
They barbecued burgers and smokies in chilly temperatures to celebrate their biggest win of the Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League season Monday night. The Leko Precast Camels of Vernon stopped short of holding a parade around the Marshall Field parking lot after stopping the Kelowna Marketplace IGA 2-1 at Marshall #1. IGA went undefeated through the regular season and playoffs last year, and were 5-0-1 going into the fast-paced league showdown with the Humpbacks. Striker Gord Howard opened the Camel offence in the 20th minute when he caught keeper Scott Seiben out of position with a shot to the right corner. Midfielder Al Gee picked off an errant clearance pass to set up the goal. Grant Campbell equalized in the 57th minute when his hard 40-yard shot skipped in front of keeper Dave Dutcher, who bobbled the shot and watched in horror as it spun into the far right corner. IGA took over control of the play for about 15 minutes, sending a handful of shots wide or over the net while ruling the left side of the field. The Camels countered in the final minute when Rick Raber made a nice run and turn before shooting a left-footer from 15 yards out. An onrushing Chris Reeves beat Seiben with the rebound. Defenders Jim Mottus and Ken Kranenborg shared the Carpet Castle Man of the Match honours for the Camels (6-1), who share first place with Penticton, 4-0 winners over North Country Appraisals Kickers of Kelowna. Red-hot Roland Riedstra scored a goal and added three assists as Big O/Turn-Key Ogopogos bounced Bosman Accounting 4-1 at Marshall #3. Mark Wasylyk also scored two goals, while newbie Jenne Hubert added the other as the Ogopogos went to 4-3. Riedstra, who pulled the hat trick last week, scored on his first penalty kick of the year with a hard blast to the centre of the net as sprawling keeper Guy Paulsen guessed left corner. Later, Riedstra made a beautiful low cross to Hubert alone in the 18 and the towering Dutch striker patiently buried it low. Riedstra made another nifty pass to Wasylyk in tight for a short tap in, and drew another assist as three Ogopogos
collided with Bosman defender Akbal Mund on a goalmouth scramble with Wasylyk finding net. Bosman, who had no subs, answered with Henk Bosman’s fourth of the season, on a penalty kick hard blast near the top corner. The Big O defence, led by reliable and shifty Leo Nadeau did not give up much all night, giving keeper Yogi Kongsdorf limited duty as he read The Fine Meats of Denmark, Vernon Silver Stars drew 1-1 with Brandt’s Creek at Parkinson #8 Field in Kelowna. The Stars, the league’s only unbeaten team (3-04) had the best first-half chance in the second minute when Art Renaud was sent in alone by Brian Eso. The Brandt’s keeper made an outstanding save, just getting his fingers on the low shot. Brandt’s took control of the game and created good pressure for most of the first half. Keeper Ted Lurkins stopped several decent shots. The second half saw the Stars come out strong and hold a possession advantage, but 12 minutes in, Brandt’s Creek opened the scoring. A misplayed cross ended up on the far post and the 4-2-1 Brandt’s forward James Kinakin played an awkward one-time eightyarder which bounced crazily and eluded a frozen Lurkins. With only one minute remaining, Mahmoud Abdel-Kader pushed the ball up the left side to Stephen Fitzpatrick who beat a defender and then looped a cross into the six-yard box. Pub defender Reid Freeman scored an own goal when he dove to clear the ball and headed it into the top corner. Lake Country FC beat Cantinas 2-0, while Salmon Arm MacIssac & Co. toppled Pushor Mitchell Advocates 3-1 and the Rented Mules and Rutland Spirit drew 1-1 in other games. Lake Country (2-3-2) got first-half goals from Neil McNeil and Andrew Martin to shut down Cantinas, who dipped to 2-5. The Advocates grabbed the lead on a Paul Hart shot which just elude keeper Ray Tims’ hands, off the back post and in. Wolfgang Bopp finished off a great pass from Nigel Clack just before the half for the Shuswap boys. Kelowna gave up an own goal and an 18-yard cracker from Dave Howes. Fred Vandergaag inadvertently deflected an Al Ryder free kick into the net to put the Mules ahead, only to see Glen Cochrane equalize.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) During this phase of the heavenly cycle, it will be important to keep pace with all of your responsibilities and duties. If you fall too far behind, you may never get back on track. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) This is one of those days when people tend to put the social graces under a microscope. Any form of misconduct or overindulgence on your part will be frowned upon and talked about for a long time. CANCER (June 21-July 22) If you find yourself being forced to accept another person’s desires in spite of your own needs, chances are you’ll rebelliously do the opposite.
concerned. When you are not in total control of matters, they will simply control you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Be on guard and ready to deal with some opposition from an unexpected source. Regardless of how out of line it might be, it’ll give you a big, fat headache. Forewarned is forearmed. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Excuses won’t be any help whatsoever where neglected promises are
2545 Patterson Ave. (beside Credit Union) Armstrong, BC • Tel: (250) 546-6954 www.armstrongwineandbrew.com
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Don’t allow yourself to get caught in the middle of two warring friends. You wouldn’t be able to help at all, plus you’d get hammered from both sides. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Take nothing for granted in negotiating a competitive development. If your opposition has more going for him or her than you surmise, you could get in way over your head. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) There is a good chance that you’ll be far more vulnerable than usual to high-pressure sales pitches. If this is the case, you could impulsively do something that would prove costly. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) When it comes to issues about which you feel strongly, be extra careful about expressing them when confronted by someone who holds equally strong opposing viewpoints. Keep mum.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder THE TRICKS WERE SQUASHED TOGETHER Actress Cameron Diaz said, “I can spend hours in a grocery store. I get so excited when I see food; I go crazy. I spend hours arranging my baskets so that everything fits in and nothing gets squashed.” That’s weird! At the bridge table, though, sometimes tricks get squashed. In this deal, for example, South, in four hearts, seemed destined to lose two hearts, one diamond and two clubs. But bridge can be strange at times. How did South get home after West led the diamond king? West used the Unusual No-trump to show his minor two-suiter. (After a strength-showing two-overone response by South, it
would have been illogical for West’s overcall to show a strong balanced hand, because East would then have had a Yarborough and two no-trump doubled would have gone down several tricks.) Then West was right to pass, especially given the unfavorable vulnerability. Here, five diamonds (and five clubs) doubled can be defeated by three tricks, costing 800. South won trick one with his diamond ace and cashed the ace and king of hearts. With the 4-1 break revealed, it was time to score tricks with declarer’s low trumps. South cashed dummy’s top spades, ruffed a spade, and led a diamond. West took his queen and could not do better than lead another diamond. Declarer
ruffed on the board, trumped another spade, played a club to the ace, and ruffed the last spade. South had taken two spades, two hearts, one diamond, one club, three ruffs in his hand and one ruff on the board for 10 tricks. For the last two tricks West’s winning clubs and East’s trumps were squashed together.

2 years have passed
Nothing can ever take away The love a heart holds dear Fond memories linger every day Remembrance keeps him near
was born on April 4th, 1921 in Wadena, Saskatchewan and passed away peacefully on June 3rd, 2012 in the Vernon Jubilee Hospital at the age of 91 years. Diane will be lovingly remembered by her children, Ken (Cathy Cooke-Lehman) and Lenore (Jim) Leonard of Vernon, B.C.; three grandchildren, Matthew (Cara), Raymond and Tim (Joanna); numerous nieces, nephews and extended family members. She was preceded in death by her ¿rst husband, Karl Lehman in 1991; her second husband, George Dundas in 2006; three brothers, Edwin, Carl (Ole) and Roy; and four sisters, Ruth, Selma, Ethel and Lily. Diane was one of eight children born to Joseph & Kristine Elander. At eighteen years of age she left Wadena to attend business college in Saskatoon. After graduating she moved to Winnipeg where she was employed by United Grain Growers. It was here that she met and fell in love with her future husband, Karl Lehman and they were later married in Toronto, Ontario. After having lived in various communities over the next few years, and the birth of their two children, the family settled in Elliot Lake, Ontario in 1956. Here Diane was instrumental in establishing the town library, where she worked as the Head Librarian for eighteen years. During this time she was also very involved in politics and was elected the President of the Liberal Party for the local riding. Diane was also appointed to the Ontario Council of Pharmacists by the Provincial Government and served for seven years. Diane resided in Vernon for the past sixteen years and has many good friends. She has been an inspiration to all who knew her and was an all around great gal. She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, mother-in-law and friend whose memory will be cherished. Cremation preceded the Funeral Service which will be held at All Saints Anglican Church on Thursday, June 7th, 2012 at 2:00 P.M. with The Reverend Canon Chris Harwood-Jones of¿ciating. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Diane to the All Saints Anglican Church Memorial Fund, 3205-27th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 4W8. Funeral arrangements have been made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD., 5605-27th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 8Z5 250-542-1187

Q: A:
I am concerned about the number of floaters in my vision. Are they normal?
It depends. Most floaters are due to a breakdown of the clear jelly on the inside of the eye, called the vitreous. Over time, the vitreous separates into strands of tissue and pools of fluid which float across our line of sight and make it appear that there are objects in our vision. Floaters are more easily seen when looking at a blank wall or a clear sky. Generally, most floaters are normal, however they can sometimes be a sign of serious eye disease. If you observe new floaters, especially if they are accompanied by flashes of light, you should see your optometrist immediately. Retinal detachment, for example, is a medical emergency that is often associated with new floaters and can result in blindness if not treated quickly. When in doubt, get it checked out!

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

Q:
I’ve never had my air conditioner serviced. Is this something that I should be doing, and what do you check for?
A:
Absolutely! Like any car or truck, it’s a good idea to have any mechanical equipment checked by a trained professional for abnormalities and signs of wear and tear. Many serious and often costly repairs can be caught early or prevented by having a simple check-up. We recommend having this done every other year, unless your equipment is really old, in which case it may be a good idea to have it checked annually. The most common problem with air conditioners are minor refrigerant leaks that are easy to check; but often lead to inefficient operation, and compressor failures. Most compressors will last about 5 years running on a low refrigerant charge - right about the time your warranty runs out. So get those A/Cs checked out!

Shopping for a mattress can be a very overwhelming process as there are so many brands and types of mattresses. The newest innovation to hit the market in mattresses is gel. Gel works like memory foam as it conforms and adapts to your body but it does not give off heat. Gel is more buoyant and allows more give when you are tossing and turning in your sleep. At City Furniture, we have gel beds, memory foam beds and Tempurpedic beds on display, so make sure to stop by and see our bedding gallery at the new and exciting City Furniture!

Eating organic food has a variety of benefits. Many studies have shown organic produce to contain higher levels of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other beneficial phytonutrients (flavonoids, polyphenols) than their non-organic counterparts. In addition to the nutritional benefits, organic food was found to have lower levels of nitrates and residues of toxic chemical pesticides. This is particularly important in children because their bodies and brains are still developing. Low level pesticide exposure can affect growth, neurological function and neurological development. It is also increasingly important for pregnant women to consume organic food because pesticides can pass to the developing baby in the womb and through the breast milk. People with allergies to foods, chemicals, or preservatives often find their symptoms lessen or go away when they eat only organic foods. Most people have some accumulation of toxin build up due to years of chemical exposure outside of their control. Organic food is one way to lower that toxic burden and improve your health.

I would like to improve my golf game. What training do you recommend?
Golf is a highly athletic sport, and like all athletes, you need to train like one to become a better golfer. Increasing your strength will allow you to have more control and better balance, creating improved feel andmore consistency with your swing. This alone will add quite a bit of distance to your golf shots. As a golfer, you need strength, power, body awareness, core stability, flexibility, balance and even endurance to be the best golfer that you can be. A personal trainer can be hugely instrumental in helping you reach the next level that you are striving for. Professional strength training sessions can provide you with huge dividends on the course.
Q: A:
Are there side effects with hypnotherapy?
Happily – YES! 1. Reduced stress levels as you learn how to relax more deeply than you have likely ever relaxed before. 2. Improved sleep (learning how to stop your busy and/or toxic thought patterns). 3. Feeling calmer, as once you have learned how to relax, it is easier to call it up into the present moment. 4. Increased willpower (weight loss, smoking cessation, etc.) 5. Control over fears/phobias (heights, snakes, etc.) 6. Learn how to lessen chronic pain

Q: A:
What is a Retailing Mix?
A Retailing Mix is a marketing term that refers to a company’s positioning strategy in relation to product, price, presentation, promotion, personal selling & services. The key thing to remember is CONSISTENCY in all of the above mentioned variables. For example, if you wanted to position your company as a high-end retailer, it would make sense to: carry higher-end products; pricing would reflect a more expensive taste; presentation would be top notch with detailed merchandising; promotion would be planned around a tasteful approach; staff would be extremely knowledgeable & able to provide an educated personal selling experience.The strength of your retail mix is determined by how your clients perceive you every time you interact with them. The more consistent, the stronger the positioning & brand.
