Hang glider killed in Spall crash Morning Star Staff
The pilot and lone occupant of a powered hang glider was killed after the craft crashed in a Spallumcheen field Thursday morning. RCMP report that at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, emergency crews were called to a field in the 5600 block of Back Enderby Road for a report of an ultralight plane crash. “Emergency crews arrived at the scene and determined that the aircraft is a powered hang glider, it is a non-registered aircraft,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “It was being operated by a pilot who was on a training flight at the time.” Indications are the pilot lost control of the craft and collided with the ground. The age and where the pilot is from are not being released at this time. The crash remains under investigation by the RCMP and the coroners department, which was called to the scene Thursday.

Enderby flooding forces residents out JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Slumped creek banks and washed out roads and bridges forced families from their homes in rural Enderby. Rising water in the Ashton Creek area and debris closed down Enderby-Mabel Lake Road, approximately 14 kilometres from the Enderby bridge Wednesday. The road was re-opened for single lane, alternating traffic only Thursday afternoon. Remedial work continues in order to reestablish full traffic flow. It’s estimated more than 100 families were impacted by the flooding and debris, including residents of the Creekside Mobile Home Park, who were issued an evacuation alert Wednesday evening. “I know a lot of people were displaced and had to stay at the Howard Johnson or families’ places,” said Patty Marshall, who works at the Ashton Creek General Store.

Creek bridge (at the top of the watershed) was washed out. “It’s a mess down there,” said Jackie Pearase, rural Enderby director, of the overall situation. Pearase says the problem was watering coming off the mountains. “It raises questions about ditching. The ditches aren’t able to hold the water,” she said. The closure of Enderby-Mabel Lake Road meant many residents east of Ashton Creek could not access jobs or schools in Enderby. The closure also could have proved challenging if a medical emergency arose. “I know of one woman who is pregnant. It was a real concern,” said Pearase. Pearase was at a Regional District of North Okanagan board meeting in Coldstream Wednesday and was turned away when she tried to get to her Kingfisher home.

Brent and Karry McDougall fill bags at the sand filling station at Okanagan Landing Road and Okanagan Avenue Thursday morning. The bags will be placed in front of their cabin on Westside Road to keep the rising lake at bay.
Extreme caution urged around high water Continued from A1 With continued rainfall in the forecast, Marshall fears it may be a while before the situation eases. “There’s still so much snow at the top of the mountain too.� Along with a number of residents in the area, the road services Mabel Lake Resort, where there are condos and RV parks. The road closure, debris and flooding could put a damper on the area’s early tourist season. “It’s a tourist resort, tons of Albertans come out here,� said Marshall, who hasn’t seen the Mabel Lake area flood since approximately 1990-91. The RCMP is asking everyone to be careful around the creeks and rivers in our area. As a result of heavy rainfall over the last few days, waterways are running extremely fast.
“Recently one of our police officers was called to a complaint where the stream had over run its banks and several trees had been washed downstream,� said Gord Molendyk, with the RCMP. “When the officer arrived, people were standing right next to the swollen creek on the bank. With the water running very high and fast there is a likelihood the banks could be undercut by the water. Your weight could be all that it takes to have it cave in and you be in big trouble in the fast-flowing water.� Molendyk says it’s important for residents to remember to be safe around all creeks and rivers. “It doesn’t matter if you are in a boat or walking next to the bank, think water safety for you and your pets,� he said. “Each year, people are drowned in B.C. when a pet is swept away by the currant and the owner jumps in to rescue the animal. In most cases, the animal survives, however, the person drowns.�

A North Okanagan resident will find out his fate next month for his alleged part in a major cross-border drug smuggling ring. Christopher Mark Chambers is one of six North Okanagan residents that have been arrested by authorities in Canada and the U.S. in connection with Project Faril, a large-scale international drug smuggling investigation launched in 2011 by the Regina Integrated Drug Unit.
Chambers pled guilty in Great Falls, Mont. to one count of conspiracy to export cocaine. It’s a charge that carries a penalty of mandatory 10 years-to-life imprisonment, a $5 million fine and at least five years of supervised release, according to U.S. District Court documents obtained by The Morning Star. A U.S. grand jury charged that between April 1, 2009 and Oct. 1, 2011 at Great Falls, Mont., Chambers and others knowingly
and unlawfully conspired and agreed to export to Canada at least five kilograms of a substance containing a detectable amount of cocaine. Chambers will be sentenced in Montana on July 30. He is the only one of the six North Okanagan residents that was arrested in the U.S. The other five were arrested in Canada, and their matters remain before the Canadian court system.

North Okanagan boat patrols will focus on education and safety this year. The patrols, conducted by RCMP members and reservists, Transport Canada officials and conservation officers, have set a goal of having no deaths or serious injuries on the lakes and rivers in the area this summer. “It’s about boating safety for everyone and having fun on the water,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson for the Vernon-North Okanagan detachment. “You can encounter our officers patrolling the lakes of the North Okanagan and

Shuswap.” The patrols will be on Kalamalka, Okanagan, Mabel, Sugar, Shuswap and Wood lakes, as well as the Shuswap River, this summer. The focus will be on safety equipment, boat licenses and vessel licenses (the number on the bow). Boat operators must produce their boating license and picture ID and the paper work for the vessel they are operating. If not, a fine of $287 can be levied for failing to produce this paperwork Officers will be looking on board for safety equipment including life jackets, a whistle or horn, waterproof flash light, a heaving line (throwing a line that can offer assistance to another boat or someone in trouble in the water), a paddle and a boat with an inboard motor must have a fire extinguisher. Patrol officers want to remind everyone that

People using a standup paddle board are required to have a life jacket on or on board while stand-up paddling in open water.
Officers in 2011 put in more than 500 hours on the water in our area. “There were over 2,600 boats checked, they issued 1,500 warnings and laid 150 charges,” said Molendyk. “They took 15 boats off the water that were deemed unsafe, and seven operators were investigated for

In 2011, officers working the waters of the Okanagan/Shuswap checked more boats then were checked in the rest of the province. “They said, by far, the majority of the boating public were very happy to see them on the water and were happy to be reminded of some of the minor rules they might have forgotten about,” said Molendyk.

Second-hand sells
Y
uuuup, everyone and their dog these days is capitalizing off the popularity of bargain hunting. Thanks to reality TV shows such as Storage Wars and Extreme Couponing, the value of a deal or a hidden treasure has hit new limits. Storage auctions, garage sales, thrift shops, coupon clipping parties, clothing swaps and such are becoming all the rage in today’s society. As outrageous, and humourous, as some of these popular reality TV shows can be, they have proven that there is money to be made and/ Jennifer Smith or saved outside of your 9-to-5 day job. Following the recession, the timing couldn’t have been any better for such shows to air. Some of those accustomed to an often lavish life have found themselves pinching pennies in recent years and wondering how to afford little Timmy’s new running shoes for school. Ergo – the increasing demand for secondhand goods. Some of us, myself included, have always been bargain hunters at heart (I’ll credit my mom for instilling in me the value of a dollar, or penny at that, and the importance of flyer shopping). I’ve always been the type to do my homework on large purchases, and be prudent with my hard-earned dollars. While I am often guilty of splurging on a brand new T-shirt or Lululemon gear, the other half of my closet is actually packed with second-hand goods. It’s amazing how many unique, albeit gently worn-in, items you can find in the local
AT RANDOM
thrift shop. And when it comes to kids, I get no greater pleasure then receiving hand-me-downs from friends and relatives for my daughter. I think more parents are appreciating the value of hand-me-downs, particularly since the little weeds grow faster then we can replenish their wardrobes. But when my rubber arm is bent into going shopping, I still search out the deals. Bargain bins, sale racks and last-season goods are definitely my forte. If I can get a deal, and it fits (both the body and the budget), I’m generally sold. That was the case on a recent Seattle girls’ weekend. Like Storage Wars’ Barry Weiss in a collector’s unit, I was in my glory at the outlet malls and shops. Everyone loves a deal! But my weakness for sales aside, I’m really enjoying the new-found respect people are acquiring for second-hand stuff. I no longer have to sneak through the Salvation Army doors and hide between racks when someone I know walks by outside, carrying their designer purchase. In fact, I’ve even spotted a few items I’ve donated to the thrift store on an unsuspecting acquaintance (proving they’re not as materialistic as they come across). The nice part about this second-hand popularity is fewer items are ending up in the landfill. Spring cleaning prompts garage sales versus dump runs (speaking of which, come by Cunningham Road Saturday for a BX neighbourhood sale). Remember, one woman’s junk could be your next treasure. The only downside to all these new bargain hunters is it could make for a few more stars on another hit show - Hoarders.
It’s a natural reaction to want someone else to take over when they are criticizing or questioning the job you are doing. We’ve all done it. So it’s not a surprise that Regional District of North Okanagan director Mike Macnabb would take a similar approach when asked about the possible public reaction to his $25,081 in wages and $4,462 in expenses in 2011. “I will sign their nomination papers if they think it’s such a sweet deal,” he said of potential critics running for office themselves. Macnabb has a point and it’s certainly easy to complain from the cheap seats. Most people have no clue as to how much work goes into local government. There are hours upon hours at meetings — for some directors there are at least 20 sessions a month — while considerable time is also devoted to reading mounds of documents or speaking to constituents on issues of concern. Representing the public takes a toll on personal lives and on careers for those directors still working. Obviously, financial compensation has to recognize all of those factors. But Macnabb’s call for anyone who questions his remuneration to run for office is trite and condescending. Macnabb needs to remember that he has a responsibility to his constituents and it is taxpayers, who work just as hard as politicians, who are paying the tab. In our democratic system, it is incumbent on all citizens to scrutinize the actions of our elected officials and particularly how they spend the money we provide to them. Macnabb has offered constituents his job, but they already have one.

Legal implications to discharge
I
t would be a wise move on the part of the current politicians to study the result of the Supreme Court decision on the case brought against the City of Vernon regarding the release of treated effluent into Okanagan Lake. It is obvious from newspaper reports that the group set up to study possible discharges have no idea that the court's decision is still binding and that discharge is not something they can decide upon without stringent conditions and control. Save Our Lakes took the case as far as the Supreme Court and the City of Vernon was instructed on the conditions which must be adhered to, so we suggest before any more discussions take place, that all
SMART METERS There are some things about smart meters that just don’t add up. I’m wondering why groups like the Citizens for Safe Technology would have spent so much time, energy and their own money to bring their concerns about smart meters to the public eye if there wasn’t some truth in them? Not only are they worried about the adverse effect on health but some experts feel even the integrity of buildings will be compromised. The reassurances of B. C. Hydro leave me uncomfortable. The installation will cost $900 million according to Dag Sharman of B.C. Hydro, but I’m told smart meters will save me money. To quote Rich Coleman, “Smart meters do not create additional costs for B.C. Hydro customers.” (letter to myself dated March 6). Then who is going to pay the $900 million? He also stated that the, “Installation of smart meters across the province is expected to reduce operating costs by $70 million over the next three years.” At that rate, it will take us 39 years to pay off the $900 million installation cost and that’s not allowing for upgrades or replacement etc. Who is really benefitting from the installation of smart meters?

participants be instructed thoroughly on the terms of reference they can use in their discussions. Richard Rolke's article in The Morning Star should also be read quite apart from the legal implications. We, as two of thousands, cannot imagine how intelligent people who are currently in control of this area's future could treat this valuable resource as a "get rid of it down the pipe commodity." A few dollars may be saved now, but as the city grows, they simply will not be able to fill the water needs of the inhabitants or the land. Alan Hill and Gyula Kiss, Save Our Lakes
Why is the government pushing the installation of the meters forward without taking the time to allow an investigation into these concerns? I don’t think people are against the technology which will allow electricity to be moved around more efficiently but the hazards of doing it wirelessly. I believe there are many people in North Okanagan who do not want a smart meter installed in their home but have not voiced their opinion because they do not know what the consequences of opposition might be. There is the rumor that if a home owner opts out, they will be responsible for the cost of a meter reader. Then, there is the rumor that their bill will be estimated and will undoubtedly increase. The point being, there is not clear direction and until there is, there should be a halt to the installations. If you have the same uncomfortable feelings as I do, I urge you to phone or write to your councillors asking them to join the growing number of municipalities asking for a moratorium on smart meters or an opt out program. The time to act is now. Jill de la Salle WRONG WATER On May 15, my wife went outside to empty our one-year-old son's swimming pool.
When she dumped it, she realized that the water smelled like beer. Somebody dumped beer into our son's pool. Luckily, he didn't use his pool that day. This could have really harmed my son and I'm very angry about it. Kevin Couture BEACHES EMBARRASS I’ve been a resident on Lakeshore Road for five years. The regional district has made some progress acquiring property for the lands designated as parks and open space as per the adopted waterfront plan. However, the maintenance of the beach is non-existent. Our city is in dire need of industry and tourism to create a more stable local economy. The state of our beaches on Lakeshore Road is embarrassing. We want tourists to enjoy our beaches and come back to Vernon frequently. I like what the city has done regarding incentives for development of the waterfront and city center neighborhood plans. However, I don’t think enough emphasis is given to our biggest draw, the lake. Every time I pick up the paper, there is continued squabbling over parks management and maintenance. It’s time to make a decision.
Tourism season is upon us and the beach needs attention now. Joel Ellams OPTION PROPOSED Water rates and water supply are a big part of the Vernon political landscape. I make some effort to understand some of the technical challenges involved and I think overall, the future looks good. However, I think council has shirked its responsibility to the citizens in regards to user-pay. The lowly bottom dwellers, such as myself, pay the same cubic metre rate as the nosebleed section up on the highest hill. It costs considerable electricity to push that much water up that hill. Many urban centres have variable rate water supply based on elevation and with the advent of electronic meters, the identification of higher elevation properties is a minor matter of mapping. I challenge council to consider this innovation in order that all of the taxpayers are on a level playing field in regards to water and the costs of supply. Patrick Heglund

The City of Enderby insists it has been forced to take action on an unsightly premise. A contractor will be hired by the city to clean up a yard on Russell Avenue after attempts to have the property owner address concerns weren’t satisfactory. “It’s filthy and disgusting,” said Mayor Howie Cyr. “We want to give the nearby residents some relief.” Numerous complaints have been received about the yard, including three so far in 2012. Weeds are overgrown and there has been an assortment of waste over the years, including urinefilled jugs.

Star severs Big White ties KATHY MICHAELS Black Press
The Okanagan’s two biggest ski mountains will no longer function as one. Big White and Silver Star have “severed their ties,” said Michael J. Ballingall, senior vice-president of Big White. “They’re acting as independent companies right now.” Ballingall was tight lipped on what prompted the split, saying it was for “personal family reasons.” “There’s nothing untoward here,” he said. “The presidents remain the same — they’re brother and sister — and everybody is going to go about their business … the two teams will still work closely.” Internally, the change will mean smoother operations, in terms of diminished paperwork. Residents should only notice that dual mountain passes are off the table. In the months to come, however, the change may take another form. Ballingall said he expects to see each distinct product to start delving deeper into its own personality. Silver Star will be hiring a marketing and sales team to work in and out of the valley to meet that aim, while Big White continues on in the way it has in the past.
“They’re acting as independent companies right now.” — Ballingall Ultimately, however, there may be more the same than different in days to come. “We share the airport, and there are synergies that take place,” said Ballingall, noting that a number of Interior resorts market together.

Vernon Shrine Club members Henrik Hansen (from right), Jake Terpstra and Brian Schierer, along with Vernon RCMP Supt. and Cops For Kids vice-president Reg Burgess (left), present Vernon’s Catherine and Victor Chirkoff with a cheque for nearly $8,000 that will buy a new comfortable chair for their daughter, Anastacia.
Donation comforts four-year-old ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Everyone loves their own comfortable chair. But when you spend 90 per cent of your life in a chair, it has to be extra comfortable. For Vernon’s Catherine and Victor Chirkoff, they will now be able to provide more comfort for their daughter Anastacia, four, who suffers from ponto cerebellar hypoplasia type 2, a very rare lifelong condition that affects development of the brain. The Chirkoffs received a cheque for nearly $8,000 to purchase a new comfortable Ergochair 500 for Anastacia, thanks to the generosity of Cops For Kids and the Shriners Club, who teamed up for the donation. “A lot of charities out there might not see hands-on how the donations affect families, it really is life-changing,”
“It really is life-changing.” — Victor Chirkoff said Victor, who, along with Anastacia and Catherine, accepted the cheque at the Vernon RCMP detachment. “Another family let us borrow one of their comfy chairs and we definitely know it works. She even sleeps in it at night. It’s the little things in life when you see a change in your kid’s life. Any parent wants the best for their kid.” Added Catherine: “We’ll go to Vancouver and the chair will be molded to Anastacia’s body shape. It’ll be custom cut and as she grows, the chair will adjust to her body shape. It’s a beautiful piece of equipment. Such a bless. We’re very grateful to Cops For
Kids and the Shriners.” Cops For Kids is a charitable arm of the RCMP in B.C.’s southern Interior. Every year, RCMP members go on a 1,000-km bike ride from Kelowna south to Osoyoos, over to the Kootenays, up to Revelstoke and back through the North Okanagan and Shuswap before finishing in Kelowna. All monies raised by Cops For Kids stays in the southern Interior. “Cops For Kids is pleased to assist Anastacia with the funding for her new chair,” said Vernon RCMP Supt. Reg Burgess, and vice-president of Cops For Kids. “We fundraise tirelessly throughout the year in

order to help families like the Chirkoffs, and today is a special day.” For the Shriners, teaming up with Cops For Kids to make the donation to the Chirkoffs was an easy decision. “This is one of the more expensive pieces of equipment, so teaming up allows us both to assist more people,” said Brian Schierer of the Vernon Shrine Club. “We’re likeminded organizations. Really, it’s the community’s money going back to the community. The community supports the Shriners by buying tickets on our raffles, and the money goes back into the community. “We just finished our boat raffle which started in February,” added Henrik Hansen of the Shriners. “We’re starting our car raffle tickets this week.“ For Shriner Jake Terpstra, helping out the Chirkoffs puts as big a smile on his face as it does theirs receiving the donation. “When you get to see the difference things like this make when you’re working with these kids, it’s just amazing,” said Terpstra. The Chirkoffs expect to pick up Anastacia’s new chair in a few months.

Relay raises record amount in fight against cancer Morning Star Staff
The No r t h Okanagan continued its quest to help find a cure for cancer, raising more $100,000 this past weekend at the Relay for Life in Vernon. The 2012 relay at Polson Park had 302 participants and 36 teams in total, which is a bit lower than years past. However, the event actually raised more money than previous years. More than $106,000 was raised. “It was a great example of how dedicated participants of this event are,� said Jennifer Dies, coordinator of the event. “Despite being down in the number of fundraisers this group was able to exceed last year’s total.� The top fundraisers were: Consie Severson (adult), Carly Chaput (youth), Ladies World Rockets (adult team) and Groovin’ For A Cure (youth team). Teams such as Silver Star, raising more than $7,000 for cancer research and making the top five highest fundraisers, have been raising funds throughout the year – including a silent auction at Silver Star’s second annual wine tasting event, snowshoe walk fundraiser and donating all proceeds from the first annual chili cook-off. Silver Star has been participating in the relay since 2007 as an event sponsor as well as a participating team. This year, the Star team walked roughly 100 kilometres collectively around the Polson Park oval during the 12-hour relay. In the past six years, Silver Star has raised more than $57,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. Silver Star is already making plans for next year’s event and encourages other companies to take up the challenge of fundraising for Relay For Life. “Cancer touches so many lives and being a part of making a difference for cancer
survivors and research means so much to our team,� said Ian
Galbraith, summer business manager for Silver Star and team
captain. “This is such a unique and humbling
experience to be a part of.� An organizer is
needed for next year’s relay in Vernon. Anyone interested can

Spallumcheen supports small farms and farmers. With 19 such farmers in attendance at Monday night’s regular meeting, council sent a letter to the provincial Ministry of Health demanding changes to meat regulations it believes has severely hurt local farmers. “Council will lobby the provincial government to authorize unlimited Class D and E slaughter facility licences within the Township of Spallumcheen, or exempt the township from the Class D and E requirements comBev Torrens pletely,” read a motion proposed by township staff, and unanimously endorsed by council (Coun. Rachael Ganson was absent). According to one farmer, a Class D licence allows for the slaughter of up to 25 animal units with one animal unit equaling 1,000 pounds liveweight. That would mean 25 cows, 2,500 chickens, 40 pigs and 300 lambs. A Class E licence allows for the slaughter of up to 10 animal units. However, according to farmer Andrea Gunner, D licenses are only allowed in 10 designated regional districts, and the Regional District of North Okanagan is not considered one of them by the government. And, according to Gunner, Class E licences are only issued in cases where an operator dem-
onstrates a clear need for additional slaughter capacity, or requires services that are not available through an existing Class A, B, or C facility (e.g., species-specific slaughter or specialty slaughter services such as certified organic, halal, or kosher). No Class E licenses have been awarded in the RDNO despite more than 30 applications made, including for species-specific slaughter (for example, ducks) not currently available. “The township’s small farmers have been negatively impacted with regards to regulations regarding slaughter facilities that are designated for larger farm operations,” wrote the township in its letter to the health ministry. “The cost for our small farmers does not allow for them to make a realistic income off of small farm operations.” Several Spallumcheen farmers have also applied for a Class A licence, which allows general slaughter and processing. Bev Torrens, a former Spallumcheen councillor who has spearheaded a petition campaign aimed at making changes to help small former, is grateful for council’s help. “We appreciate everything you’re doing,” said Torrens. The intent of the letter is to make sure local farmers’ concerns are acknowledged and addressed at a provincial level. “Spallumcheen is a community that is small in population and rich in agricultural land,” read the letter. The Regional District of North Okanagan will also throw its support behind lobbying for provincial changes.

Westshore water advisory rescinded Morning Star Staff
A water quality advisory has been lifted for residents served by the Westshore water system off Westside Road. The removal of the advisory for 250 properties was made after consultation with the Interior Health Authority. “The turbidity in the source water for the Westshore system has decreased and is once again within the acceptable and safe Interior Health guidelines for drinking water quality,” said Bruce Smith, communications co-ordinator with the Regional District of Central Okanagan. “Customers of the system are no longer advised to boil their water before using it for drinking, washing fruits and vegetables or brushing their teeth.”

Students learn about Shuswap culture CAVELLE LAYES Black Press
Grade 4 students from Enderby’s M.V. Beattie Elementary were recently taken on an exciting journey into the Shuswap’s past courtesy of the Mary Thomas Cultural Village near Salmon Arm. As part of the Grade 4 curriculum, the students were studying the aboriginal spring unit, explained Cory Thomas, one of the aboriginal education workers. Gerry Thomas and his team at the village created an educational adventure that took the students on a laugh-filled tour of the Neskonlith culture, both past and present. The groups of students were able to engage in many different activities that allowed them to see the unique Neskonlith culture for themselves. Students eagerly called out the name of plants and trees as Gerry guided them on a tour through the forest. He showed the students how to identify plants they should avoid, such as the stinging nettle, which can leave a painful burning sensation on the skin. Students also learned how some of the same plants that can cause so much pain can also be used for healing or even food. Amy Sampson and Cory told traditional stories that inspired the students to create their own. With the aid of puppets, groups of students performed stories about greedy animals and silly hunters, each one with a life lesson.
OPEN HOUSE:
Students watched with wide eyes as they were taught how animal skins were traditionally tanned, berries were dried and what the inside of a mud hut looked like. Many children seemed proud to be able to add their own knowledge whenever they could. One young boy explained why there was a notch missing from the ladder in the mud huts, while a delighted young girl shared why birch bark baskets would be made in different sizes. Gerry enjoyed teaching the students about his culture, most of which was taught to him by his mother and grandmother. “We often go to the schools to teach,” said Gerry, “but they can learn much more out here. We have more we can show them, and they can see things like the (mud pits) first hand.” The smell of freshly made bannock filled the air as each student was given the chance to cook their own over a fire, making for a tasty treat half-way through the day. The groups were also given the chance to help make a reed mat which, as they were taught, had many different uses including bedding and shelter. Students laughed loudly as Gerry had his team finish off the day with a play about how coyote got his red eyes. Cory was very pleased with the results CAVELLE LAYES/BLACK PRESS explaining that events like these help “proCory Johnny, as Coyote, shows M.V. Beattie student Aaron Francis how to construct reed mats mote community pride, aboriginal pride, and at the Mary Thomas Cultural Village near Salmon Arm. school pride.”

You also need to know that when a fire is discovered and is beyond your capacity to extinguish, it is time to leave the building and not return. Once outside, it is important to find the nearest phone and call 911. Do not let anyone go back in the building. Like the old saying: it is not that people plan to fail but fail to plan.

Brad Clapp (left) of Chilliwack drives the ball down the fairway in the BCPGA Assistants/Seniors/ Ladies Championship at Vernon Golf & Country Club Tuesday morning. Vernon’s Keith Vanderbrink, of Hillview, lines up a putt on the second hole in the Seniors division.
Vandenbrink second at B.C. Seniors Morning Star Staff
Despite being only 50, Hillview’s Keith Vandenbrink is hearing it from friends about all the dandy discounts seniors get at places like Denny’s, Tim Hortons and Safeway. Vandenbrink got the last laugh Tuesday when he pocketed $1,200 for second place in the PGA of B.C. Seniors’ Kwikfit4u Championships at the Vernon Golf & Country Club. With a proven reputation as a money player, Vandenbrink opened the 36-hole event with a 66 and held a three-stroke lead over 2011 champion Murray Poje of Tssawwasen going into the second round. Poje, a former PGA Tour player, carded a 70 to claim a one-stroke victory over
Vandenbrink, who went 74. Poje earned $1,750 in a field of 13 pros. “It was just nerves,� said Vandenbrink. “I didn’t sleep well and I can’t believe how nervous I was Tuesday. I missed a two-footer on the first hole, then I went OB (out of bounds) on two and then I three-putted No. 3. So I was four-over after three and I was going, ‘Holy Mackerel, do you even know how to golf?’� The towering Vandenbrink made a strong run on the back nine, with birdies on 10 and 11 and an eagle on 15, hitting driver and sixiron to within a foot of the cup. He was behind by two on the 18th hole so whacked a driver to within 50 yards of the hole, while Poje played it safe with an iron off the tee. Vandenbrink birdied 18 and Poje sank a clutch four-foot
putt for the victory before a small gallery. “We played from the whites because we’re seniors so it was pretty much a short-game competition,� said Vandenbrink, who plays the Two Eagles Open in West Kelowna this weekend. Former PGA Tour member Norm Jarvis of Surrey and Mark Forrest of Victoria shared third place at 145, collecting $725. Doug Herron of Salmon Arm was fifth at 73-74-147 for $450. Fifth-place Alan Kristmanson of Whistler recorded a hole in one on the fifth hole on day two of the tournament, the second of his career. Brad Clapp of Chilliwack finished the FlightScope/Cobra PUMA Golf Assistants’
Championship with an astonishing 17-under 127 (63-64), breaking the 18-year competitive course record 63 two days straight. Clapp, who bagged $3,000, won by nine strokes over defending champion Bryn Parry of Seymour Creek Golf Centre in Vancouver (68-68-136). There was a field of 54 in the $16,500 event. Justin Baillargeon of Vernon finished in a seven-way share of 10th place, at 73-72-145, good for $425. Two consistent rounds gave Ashley Zibrik (neÊ Hogg) from Shaughnessy (74-78-152) the Women’s title. Zibrik bested Tara Roden (Gallagher’s Canyon) and Sheilla Cowan (Eaglequest, Coquitlam) by 11 strokes for $500. There was a field of five.
Midget call-ups help Junior Shamrocks rally past Raiders 9-8 Morning Star Staff
The Armstrong Shamrocks leapfrogged the visiting Kelowna Raiders for second place in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League with a 9-8 win Wednesday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. After spotting the 4-4-1 Raiders a threegoal lead, the 4-3-2 Shamrocks responded
with a powerplay marker on a low, five-hole shot by Cole Seidel. Scoring leading Brett Hawrys, on a hard screen shot, and Brayden Bridge, ripping a top-corner shot, made it 3-3 at the break. Bolstered by five Midget call-ups from the North Okanagan and Shuswap minor associations, the Baby Rocks played solid defence
in front on Trent Gabriel, and cranked up the offensive with five more goals in the second period. Carston Schlaak, Hawrys, defensive specialist Cam Nelson, with the first of two shorthanded goals, all found the net. The Raiders mounted a steady attack in the third, but Gabriel stood tall with several key saves. The Shamrocks short man killed
off a major to Brayden Bridge, and Nelson collected his second shorty for the winner. “It was close all the way through, a very exciting game,� said Rocks’ head coach Pat Nelson. “We were coming off a couple losses, so it was good to get the win and build the confidence back up.�

The Chick Kickers shaded the Controllers 1-0 in a battle of top North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division teams Tuesday night at Marshall Field #5. The rain held off just long enough for the Chick Kickers to post their fifth win in six starts. The Chicks managed to penetrate the 4-2-2 Controllers’ defensive line with success in the second half when Genney Garnett volleyed in a cross by Heeson Domay. Crystal Bergman and Marilyn Vanderdeen shared the shutout. Tania Sladen had an explosive showing despite going against all pre-game nutritional values and downing a bacon cheeseburger minutes before kick-off.

In other Masters action, the Goplen Drillers broke a six-game winless streak by clipping Seasons in the Okanagan Sista’s 3-2 at Marshall #3. The first goal, at five minutes, was credited to Becky Birbilis of the Sista’s, who after receiving a pass from Keri Storey, had a corker stopped by keeper Shawn Nickoli but bounce in off a Driller defender. The Drillers (1-5-1) countered with two goals before the half as Lena Urquhart danced around a few defenders and then added the go-ahead goal on a long shot from a tough angle. Sista’s equalized in the second half when Wendy Horner put the ball up to Andrea Zubot, who crossed to the feet of Sacha Schenker for the easy conversion past keeper Suzyn August. Defender Kulwinder Smith carried the ball up the middle before feeding Urquhart, who calmly passed to Kate Ball for her first career tally. The Drillers, who had no subs and lost one player to injury in the second half, turned in a stellar defensive showing with great hustle all over the pitch. August was superb in just her second game as keeper, making some excellent saves and booming kicks. Sherry Wiebe held the back line and saved the day many times for Sista’s, while Keri Storey, Juanita Garner, and Lesley Williams all showed intensity and determination on both sides of the ball.
Ramsey goes big for Longhorn Roadrunner Edeen Ramsey pulled the hat trick as the Longhorn Impact grounded Rosters 6-2 at Marshall #4. Myra McEwan added a deuce and Jodi Hawthorne also scored for the Longhorn (5-0-1). McEwan earned the Siam Orchid Restaurant Lady of the Match with beautiful crosses and corners which were knocked in by Ramsey. Hawthorne opened the Impact attack with a 20-yard blast which went roof daddy. Heather Findlay was solid in the midfield.
Dr. Lee streak reaches seven In Division 1 play Tuesday night, Dr. Lee Dental Clinic ran their unbeaten streak to seven games with a 2-0 blanking of the North Enderby Timber Celtic at Marshall #2.

Felicia O’Gorman (left) of the Vernon Controllers battles Colline Johnson of the Chick Kickers in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division play Tuesday night at Marshall Field #5. Missing several key players, and with no subs, the Dr. Lee gang passed with precision and scored a goal in each half. Veteran Andi King opened the scoring midway through the first half when her 25-yard blast bounced off the wet grass and over the outstretched hands of Celtic keeper Charmaine Biagioni. Relic Irene Arrotta converted a penalty kick with 20 minutes left in the second half. The Denturists’ defence of Kim Teichman, Toni Bensmiller and Loren Brunelle held back the young Celtic forwards, with Okanagan Spring 1516 Lady of the Match Margo Fleming holding down the midfield. Lisa Arrotta got the shutout, stopping three cannons within 10 feet. The Celtics dipped to 2-2-2. Dr. Lee started the game a player down and the Celtics tried to take advantage but were unable to finish on their many opportunities. The Celtics continued to pressure in the second half only to get caught up in the muck and mud. NET didn’t stop working and took control for much of the play. Biagioni made a spectacular save in the dying minutes, knocking down and gobbling up a rocket shot going top shelf.
Little Tex bounce Blazers In other first division play Tuesday night, the Little Tex Outlaws brushed back the AF Blazers 3-1 at Marshall #1. Eileen Fox had another great game in net for the Outlaws (2-3-1). The everimproving Fox came out hard and was all over the ball. Jordan Mercer was solid on the back line and got strong support from Kristy Anderson, Stacey Cover and Jen Knopf, while Christine Fraser set up countless scoring chances. Stephanie Conti had a superb game in the middle and scored twice, while Jenn Kemper scored once and was a rock in the middle. Jasmine Whitling was strong up front with a few good quality shots. Down 2-0 at half time, the Blazers bounced back and scored within two minutes. Dana Lazar put a beautiful cross to Kailee Streichert who snuck the ball between Fox and the post. The Blazers pushed hard offensively, but missed two open nets and several shots on goal. Marjorie Boisvert and Carissa Morneau had special offensive showings along with Lazar and Streichert. Jennifer Moen held the middle, defenders Amber Maltman and newcomer CarolAnn Bourdon were stellar and keeper Jeanette Maleska made several awesome saves to keep the score close.

Palahniuk piling up titles Tigers hosting doubleheader
Morning Star Staff
Another day, another golf tournament win for Lynda Palahniuk of Kelowna. Just five days after claiming the Baron Insurance title at the Vernon club, the 60-year-old member of the Manitoba Golf Hall of Fame carded a 77 to win the Spallumcheen Ladies Open. Palahniuk, who won four Manitoba amateur titles, took the Spall crown by retrogression over Chelsey Cooper of Gallagher’s Canyon in Kelowna. There was a field of 95 with Pat Shippit of Kamloops earning the overall low net trophy at 66. Low gross champions in the second through fourth flights were Spall golfers Carolyn Berube (81), Noreen Payne (93) and Edel Venus (102). Second low gross by flights were Melanie Grant of Kelowna (80), Blanche Delanoy of Royal York (93), Diane Oakden of Spall (98) and Sharon Ballinger of Shuswap Lake Estates (104). Gwen Redfern of Summerland took third low gross in the top flight at 85, followed by Mary Caldwell of Shuswap Lake (94), Sylvia Tyldesley-Gore of Spall (99) and Pat English of Shuswap Lake at 100. Fourth low gross finishers by flight were Valerie Eibner of Summerland (87), Helen Jagow of Spall (95), Gloria Regier of Spall (99) and Maureen Wiltzen of Shuswap Lake (110). Vanessa Smith of Revelstoke was first low net in the top flight at 69, followed by Marsha Allen of Spall (72), Barbara D’Orazio of Vernon (73) and Annette Hansen of Shuswap Lake (73). Ariel Thorburn of Spall was second low net in the fourth flight at 74, while Angie Dauncey of Royal York finished third in the second flight at 74 and Keiko Nomura of Spall was third in the fourth flight at 76. Flight KPs went to Cooper, Delanoy, Eleanor Payment of Shuswap and Nadine Haneman of Vernon, while long drives were recorded by Cooper and Shuswap players Donna Allison, Beb Batso and Lana German. Berube, Delanoy, Marina Heitner of Predator Ridge, Payne and Judy Thrift of Royal York recorded deuces.
Continued from A23 Nelson credited Gabriel for backstopping the Rocks with a steady net performance. Gabriel, who played last season with the South Okanagan Flames, joined Armstrong after he was unable to secure a spot with the Coquitlam Junior A Adanacs, and the Flames had already secured their goaltending tandem. “It was his first win with us so he was pretty pumped,” said Nelson, who also liked what he saw from the call-up crew. “All five of them, it was their first time with us and they played well and helped is with the win. We’ve been bitten really hard by the injury bug as we have five or six players out with various injuries, so our veterans really need to step up and help out our younger players, and they did tonight.” The Shamrocks visit the Vernon Re/Max Tigers for the first end of a Junior/Senior doubleheader Saturday night (6:30) at Wesbild Centre. The Senior clubs battle in the second tilt at 8 p.m. Armstrong’s game tonight against the Flames was cancelled as most of the Flames’ players were attending graduation in Penticton.

Canadians surge past Rockies Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Canadians rallied to stop the Rutland Rockies 7-6 in Sunday’s extrainnings final of the Rutland Pee Wee AllStar Baseball Tournament at Edith Gay Park. Ethan King hammered a ball up the middle to score Jarod Leroux with the winning run in the bottom of the eighth. Vernon ace Nathan Nesbitt pitched the final three innings and mowed down five of the nine batters he faced for MVP honours. Nathan Huizinga jumpstarted the Vernon eighth by stroking a single before getting thrown out trying to steal second. Leroux reached base on a error and moved to third on a double by Landon Currie. “For anyone wanting to see just how good baseball at the Pee Wee level is when the C’s are at the top of their game and taking on a good team at their best, Rutland was the place to be,” said Vernon head coach Rick Leroux. The C’s, who have won two straight tournaments, opened by stopping the Kamloops AAA Riverdogs 8-5 Saturday. They followed by dusting off the West Kelowna Diamondbacks 8-3 and clipping the host Rockies 6-5 in other round-robin games. Vernon busted open a 4-4 deadlock with a five-run sixth against Kamloops. Caden Doyle and game MVP Dawson Chase each went 2-for-3, while Keaton Mandryk,
Chase, King and Nick Cherkowski handled the pitching. Currie tripled and scored on a Cherkowski single against the D-Backs. Both players joined Leroux, Thomas and King with two hits. Nesbitt and MVP Leroux (almost six innings work) were on the hill. Against Rutland, the C’s tied it at 5-5 in the fourth when Mandryk scored, swiped second and third before scoring on a sacrifice fly by Doyle. Huizinga led off the final inning with a single and Leroux smacked a ground-rule double over the left centre field fence after Huizinga had swiped second. Thomas was the winning pitcher and MVP.
Mosquitos rule Island tourney In Mosquito action, the Canadians shelled the Duncan White Sox 10-4 Sunday in the final of the eighth annual Larry Hopwo Invitational Tournament at Chemainus Ball Park on Vancouver Island. Chase Batchelor, who was the coaches’ choice as tournament MVP, pitched 3 1/2 innings while supplying a triple, single and two runs. Chris McIntosh produced two hits and two runs to earn game MVP, while Landen Harison drove in three runs on two hits and Carter Morris doubled and scored once. Maguire Lauridsen was the closer and stroked a two-run triple to help the attack.
Vernon ambushed the Duncan Pirates 8-2 in the semifinals of the 10-team tournament. Morris, who had three RBI and made a spectacular barehanded, backhand scoop from short to first for an out, took MVP. Lauridsen doubled and swiped a few bases while Harison pitched 2 1/2 innings, doubled and scored once. Batchelor provided one hit, two runs and a stellar catch in right field, while Caden Colmorgen hurled 2 1/2 innings. The C’s opened play Friday by blanking the Duncan Rockies 7-0 behind three hits and two RBI from Batchelor and three solid pitching innings and superb outfielding from MVP Eric Foulfoulas. Brayden Beacom and McIntosh each scored twice. Beacom was on the mound for 1 1/2 innings and supplied one hit and one run for MVP as Vernon slammed the Chemainus Reds 10-1 Saturday. Ryan Gamage and Lauridsen each drove in a run. Lauridsen homered, tripled and pitched one inning for MVP as the C’s finished preliminary action with a 10-0 win over the Salt Spring Blue Jays. Morris smacked a grand slam homer, turned a double-play and pitched one inning. Gamage went three innings on the hill and doubled, while McIntosh supplied sizzling defence at third and added an RBIsingle. Lincoln Connor pitched one inning and had one hit.

Jordan Burns
Kings court Burns Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Jordan Burns has committed to play for the Powell River Kings next B.C. Hockey League season. Burns, 17, played a total of 72 games over two seasons for the B.C. Major Midget League Okanagan Rockets, posting 7-28-35. He led all Rockets’ defencemen with 17 points in 35 games last season. Kent Lewis, head coach and GM of the BCHL losing finalist Kings, is stoked about signing the 6-foot-, 170-pounder. “We have followed Jordan’s development closely all year and we are really happy with where he is at,” said Lewis. “The Rockets did a good job with him so we are excited about his continued development and we look forward to working with him.” Said Rockets’ GM David Michaud: “Watching Jordan develop the past two seasons has been great. As an organization we are proud to see Jordan reach his goal of making the jump to the BCHL; it’s a credit to all the hard work he’s put in.”

Legends tourney on tap Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan Legends will have three teams in their home Bantam lacrosse tournament starting tonight. The Legends #2 take on Coquitlam at Priest Valley Arena, while the Legends #1 face the Abbotsford Warriors at Civic Arena in 4 p.m. games. The Legends #3 battle West Kootenay at 7 p.m. at Civic. All three local clubs are in the B side. The 12-team tourney resumes Saturday morning at Wesbild Centre and Civic until 6:30 p.m. The A side final goes Sunday, 12:15 p.m., at Wesbild. Other entries include the Calgary Axeman, Ridge Meadows Burrards, Langley Thunder, Delta Islanders and Kamloops. The #1 Legends warmed up for the tournament by falling 14-6 and 12-5 to the Kelowna Kodiaks in league play last weekend. Stephane Richard pulled the hat trick in the opener, while Mykl Drabiuk scored twice and Dawson
Boyce once. The Legends got two goals from Chase Wirth and singles from Richard, Jordan Barr and Drabiuk in the second loss. The North Okanagan Pee Wee #2 Legends played three league games last weekend, falling 6-4 to Kamloops #1 in a rematch of the gold-medal game won by Kamloops at their recent tournament. The pace was fast, and the short-benched Legends couldn’t keep up despite great performances from sniper Dakota Campen and goalie Troy Cuzzetto. In Sunday morning action, Casey Sherriff ’s Legends faced Kamloops #2 in back-to-back games, taking the opener 6-4 behind inspiring performances from Caedon Bellmann, Randall Toop and Kaden Doughty and a bulldozer-like goal from Jacob Brewer that pushed the Legends over the hump. Kamloops won 6-3 in Game 2. The Legends got heroic performances from Brandon Matvenko, Tanner Wright, Sorcha Pasco and Kalen Webster.

Caufield Engraving defeated Kia Motors 3-2 in the first game of Vernon Cup Under 18 girls soccer action Saturday at Marshall Field #3. Danielle Butler and Jessica Okert scored first-half goals and Kate Alexander scored the winner midway through the second half in a well-contested game. Simi Sidhu and Jenelle Petersen answered for Kia, who shared their goalkeeping between Jenelle Petersen and birthday girl Paige Haberstock. The Subway Sharks iced the Navy Seals 4-2 in a season-ending, first-place showdown in U14/15 girls action Saturday morning at Marshall #5. The Sharks struck first when Latisha Baker ripped a long shot under the bar following a strong corner by Katie MacGillivray. The Sharks went up by two after Maddie Powls finished off a nice pass from Nikki Watson, who had made a long run through the Seals’ defence. The Seals responded with a quick goal, and then tied the game just before the half with a nice 25-yard shot. Rajvir Randhawa tucked a shot inside the post to take the lead back for the Sharks in the second half. Brian Eso’s Sharks got an insurance

Dayna Whibley, who is suffering from a pulled hamstring muscle, scored for the Ice. Ania Splawinski set up Whibley after a run up the wing and a beautiful cross. Solid in net was Darian Newman.

FAST approach to stroke Morning Star Staff
SAILOR’S SUPPER
Teams at Shuswap Lake General Hospital and Kelowna General have been participating in the collaborative since September 2011. The collaborative teams are working together to ensure efficient pre-hospital care, increase the rate of rapid medical interventions, further best-practice in emergency department stroke care, and help ensure patients at high risk for stroke receive the necessary follow-up. “Across Interior Health, the collaborative teams have been active in making improvements at their sites,” said health practice lead Lori Seeley. “They are now looking at expanding the impact of their work to better support consistent stroke care at all of our facilities.” For information about stroke and signs, symptoms, treatment and recovery, contact Seeley at 250-314-2100 (Ext. 3753) or lori.seeley@interiorhealth.ca.
Stroke is the third-leading cause of death and a leading cause of disability in Canada. Treatment is complex and time sensitive. As a result, the Interior Health Authority urges residents to know the signs of stroke and get help as quickly as possible. “The importance of early recognition can’t be overstated,” said Dr. Todd Collier, a stroke neurologist. “The fact is many people who could benefit from treatment don’t access medical help quickly enough. Remember ‘FAST: Face, Arm, Speech, Time’. If the face is drooping on one side, or there is weakness in one arm, or if speech sounds slurred or strange, it is time to call 911.” IHA participates in the B.C. Patient Safety and Quality Council Stroke Collaborative.

Local musicians are giving their time to give the gift of a smile to those in need of dental care. Tunes for Teeth is a fundraiser for the Community Dental Access Centre Society, which is about to open its new clinic on 31st Avenue in Vernon. The concert takes place Thursday, June 14 at the Powerhouse Theatre, with proceeds going to the non-profit dental clinic, which supports low income residents in Vernon, Enderby, Lumby, Falkland, Armstrong and Spallumcheen in accessing dental care. Renovations are almost complete on the building where the clinic will be housed, however, funds are still needed. “The idea for a concert started when a resident was in need of emergency dental care. A friend, who is a musician, offered to do a concert to help,� said Julie Harmer, a clinic volunteer who is helping organize the concert. “The clinic is still in need of money in a big way, so we thought instead to do a big concert. All the musicians are donating their time and talents to put this on.� The evening will include musical entertainment provided by visiting and local artists as well as a 50/50 draw, raffle baskets, door prizes and more. Taking the time to travel to Vernon from Denman Island is folk/alt.country artist Ashlea Jonesmith, who will be performing with her bass-wielding companion, Oliver Wives. (The duo will give a sneak peek of their live performance with an intimate show at Vernon’s Gallery Vertigo on Sunday.) The duo is making its way around southern B.C. on the release of a new EP, released in December. “We are now in the midst of a fit of song ideas, and are looking forward to taking our new material on the road,� said Jonesmith, who is originally from Bracebridge, Ont., and met Wives while living in Nelson. After a move back east followed by a
tour out west, the two ended up settling on Denman Island, where Wives’ parents live. “This has been an excellent way of exploring (our) new home province while getting the music out to listeners,� said Jonesmith, who when not touring, maintains a blog where she talks frankly about her life as a singer/songwriter and touring performer contrasting it with her life as a modern-day pioneer, homesteading off the grid on a regenerating clear cut on a small island. On her own, Jonesmith has written for and recorded a full-length album and an EP, and has played such renowned festivals as the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival and the Mariposa Folk Festival. Together with Wives, the duo performs a collection of feisty attitude-rich folkblues songs and heart wrenching ballads full of haunting melodies and meaningful themes. Other musicians giving their time to perform at Tunes for Teeth include Vernonbased acoustic trio Steel Wound, who have more than a century of musical experience between them and an obvious enjoyment for the music they make: a repertoire of original tunes and semi-obscure alt.-roots, jazzy country blues. Also on the roster are locals Kath and The TomKats who have been playing their bluesy, rockin’ jazz mix throughout the Okanagan for the past 12 years. A newer local band is rounding out the performers. Feet First is a configuration of guys who have been together for the past two years, and bill themselves as a classic rock band who perform both recognizable and danceable tunes. Tickets for Tunes for Teeth are $20, available at the Bean Scene, Blenz, Talkin’ Donkey and Discovery Shoes. They are also available at the door to Powerhouse Theatre, which opens at 6:30 p.m. Music starts at 7 p.m. For more information, visit www.communitydentalaccess.ca.

&ATHER SON ART EXHIBITION OPENS AT (EADBONES 'ALLERY Morning Star Staff
Former Vernon resident Robert Bigelow is proof that artistry does get passed down through genes. Known for his detailed pen and ink drawings, Bigelow’s son, Sangito, is also a renowned artist in his own right. A recorded musician, he is currently studying at Emily Carr University, and has developed a visual language that is clear, hip and technically accomplished, said Julie Oakes, who is welcoming the two artists back to her Headbones
Gallery for a joint exhibition. Named Robert Bigelow & Sangito Bigelow, the colourful exhibition features works completed primarily in the last two years. “It attests to a dedicated practice on the part of each artist,� said Oakes. “It also speaks for the nurturing of a creative home. The results are evident at Headbones Gallery as Bigelow charts his mind like a cartographer discovering new paths and Sangito speaks out with the reactionary angst embedded in the genera-
tion that comes into being in the second millennium.� At the heart of the exhibition, the collaborative piece Black Goat, sums up the dynamic. “The combination of generations shows the spark of confident creativity: the work actually bears a family resemblance,� said Oakes. “Sangito’s silk screens, lithography and etchings displays a graffiti-like narrative that provokes a complex read of fresh ideas, while Robert

Last Starfighter returns to big screen ★
The Last Starfighter:
North America’s Largest Drive-In Screen
W
hen we found out that Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon was showing The Last Starfighter as a special family matinee feature, we simply had to review it. This is a great family movie and nearly required viewing for every 10-to12-year-old boy. There’s only one showing, this Saturday at 11 a.m. Don’t miss it. Alex is a typical small-town teen, he can’t wait to move to the city and make something of his life. The highlight of his day seems to be playing the video game “Starfighter.” One night, after a particularly tedious day, Alex breaks the game’s high score record. His reward is being recruited by a shifty alien to serve as a pilot in a galactic war, for reals this time. Can Alex win the girl, win the war and survive long enough to grow up? We say, “Victory or Death! Victory
or Death! Victory or Death!” TAYLOR: The effects in this film, although dated, by even Star Wars standards, and I’m talking about original “un-corrected” Star Wars, still have a certain quaint charm about them. I thought Taylor & Howe in parts, the movie looked like a video game. Sort of cartoony... HOWE: But that is what makes this an instant hit. People will remember when you say “Remember that cartoon graphic movie from the ‘80s with the video game?” TAYLOR: Tron? HOWE: No. The other one. TAYLOR: Super Mario? HOWE: No. Give me strength! TAYLOR: There are a few scary moments in this film that may frighten younger kiddies: a molting cyborg, a man who’s face melts under a laser drill. Provided your kids are old enough to handle

(There’s only two swear words in the movie and both are said by Alex’s little brother, which makes them funny.) HOWE: Yeah, I get what you’re saying; some of the effects are a little disturbing even by today’s standards for a kid’s movie. So what age group is this for?

this, it will bring back some funny memories: the clothes, the music, the video games. Even though The Last Starfighter is a little cheesy and dated, it’s still a great movie. –– Taylor gives The Last Starfighter 3 quarters out of 5. –– Howe gives it 3 “futuristic” space cars out of 5.

tise as well as her artwork in the upcoming VPAG exhibition titled Okanagan Dream Series,” said Kennedy Grant. “The Okanagan scenery is something many artists use in their practice and what a better way to learn how to paint landscapes than in our own backyard.” The VPAG is also offering one-day workshops, film screenings, peer critique sessions, curator tours and presentations over the summer season. The following are some of the programs being offered: –– Saturday, June 9 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Spring Fling felting one-day workshop offers some creative flirtation and experimentation in one of the world’s oldest textile arts. Kelowna-based artist and teacher Amy Burkard will introduce techniques to further your thinking about felt-making and expand on previous workshops taught at the VPAG to expose more of the limitless potential of this unique art form. The workshop is open to all levels and pre-registration is required. Call the gallery at 250-545-
3173 to register and for costs. Burkard will also provide an artist talk at 1 p.m. Saturday on her current exhibition at the VPAG titled Cozy, on display to July 26. –– June 13, July 11, Aug. 8, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., learn to paint in natural light like the Impressionists at this series of outdoor summer painting workshops at various locations in Vernon. Lake Country artist and instructor Marlene McPherson will guide participants through the process of painting Okanagan scenery. A special celebration of works will be presented on Aug. 8, the last of the three sessions, along with an artist talk by McPherson in conjunction with her exhibition at the VPAG. A supply list will be provided, and participants are welcome to choose their own paint medium. Pre-registration is required. Call the gallery for info and costs. –– June 26, 6 to 8 p.m., the gallery will stay open late for a special screening of Pollock, a film about the legendary American modernist painter and major
figure in the abstract expressionist movement, Jackson Pollock. During his lifetime, Pollock enjoyed considerable fame and notoriety, but was regarded as a mostly reclusive artist. He had a volatile personality, and struggled with alcoholism for most of his life. In 1945, he married the artist Lee Krasner, who became an important influence on his career and on his legacy. The film reveals the highs and lows of Pollock’s career and lifestyle in New York in the 1940s, in an entertaining and exciting portrayal by a stellar cast. Admission is by donation. –– June 27 at 6 p.m., Vernon Camera Club member, photographer, and special guest Vivian Merchant offers a special presentation on interesting topics in the realm of photographic arts, such as “when does a photograph become a work of art?” or “is photography dead or more alive than ever in the age of digital imagery?” Join in the discussion on these hot topics and more. Suggested donation for this drop-in session is $5.

Patti Smith’s latest is a melodic opus Although Smith’s image is that of a punk rock priestess, that’s a ‘70s typecast. In a way, she carries on the spark from The Doors and Jim Morrison’s work on songs like Celebration of the Lizard. Smith’s poetry-rock is accessible due to her friendly, natural vocal and gift for gathering good songs to fit her words. Banga has some of the original New York City “New Wave” gang on board (Lenny Kaye, Tom Verlaine, Jay Dee Daughtry) who enhance Smith’s original art punk/poet style. As there is nothing to prove commercially, the music equalizes expectations. Her biggest hit (Because the Night) set a precedent for dramatic rock with a raw edge. That quality abides on Banga, tex-

tured with a visionary texture in tracks like Amerigo (15th century discovery pop song), psychedelic folk (Mosaic), and epic trip rock (Fuji San). She gives her musing on Winehouse, the sweet ‘50s ballad This is the Girl, an atmospheric treatment. It’s a poignant tribute. Constantine’s Dream is classic Smith, a track that weaves her seemingly disparate poetic themes of disaster, discovery, saints, sinners, death and nature into an atmospheric performance. Seneca and After the Gold Rush (Neil Young cover) complete the song circle with a stately beauty. Banga is a coherent album haunted and lifted up by the strong dreams of Smith and her comrades.
Young musicians caper at Caetani Morning Star Staff
Some of the students of Devon Muhlert, aka Ms. Music, will be capering musically once again at the Caetani Cultural Centre. One original song is scored with a conch as an instrument. Muhlert says she tailors her lessons to each person’s skill level and interests. “Sometimes the lessons take a turn, like last week, when a song was born,” said Muhlert, referring to Libby McDonald, a nine-year-old, first-year guitar student, who loves testing the
microphone dramatically. With that as a starting point, she and Muhlert volleyed back and forth a series of phrases which resulted in the song, Cinnamon Buns, which McDonald will perform at the Caetani Garden Capers. Other guitarists will be featured playing finger-picking style, as well as in a sing-a-long of well-known songs. Flute and saxophone stylings will also be represented. “Native flute will be played by a student who started in January of this
year and took to it immediately,” said Muhlert. Efforts are also being made to have a choral presence with the Halina Harmonix, a choir Muhlert took over last December, even though they are officially on hiatus. The Caetani Garden Capers runs approximately one hour at the Caetani Cultural Centre on Sunday, starting at 2 p.m. For more information, contact Muhlert at 542-3228 or at devonelle@ telus.net

He’s not cheap
D
ear Annie: I am engaged to a kind, wonderful, hardworking, compassionate man who treats me like a queen. He was once quite wealthy but lost his business during the economic recession. He’s working hard to regain his status, and we try to remain optimistic. We’re also pulling our belts tighter and making the best of our situation without complaining. When he proposed, he presented me with an elegant, simple band. He said it was all he could afford right now, but promised to buy a fancier ring when he’s more financially able. I do not place any importance on how extravagant the Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar ring is. I love him for who he is. But how do I deal with insensitive remarks from others who think he’s being cheap? Why do people feel the need to belittle an engagement ring no matter what it looks like? — L.A. Bride-To-Be Dear L.A.: People can be rude and insensitive. The correct response to any unkind comment about your engagement ring is to look at it lovingly and then smile sweetly and say, “It’s exactly what I wanted. I’m so lucky.” Dear Annie: This is in response to “The Bride’s Mother,” who was afraid that she didn’t have enough money to contribute to her daughter’s wedding. My family comes from a working-class background, and my husband’s family is very well off. We just wanted our families there to celebrate with us. When we planned our wedding, we didn’t expect my folks to contribute, but they generously gave us what they could afford. It meant just as much as the more extravagant help his parents gave us. It sounds like The Bride’s Mother has a good relationship with her daughter and future sonin-law. I guarantee that her love and support is more important to them than a check. — Happily Married Broke Girl Dear Annie: Your response to “Ready To Settle Down” was excellent, but didn’t go quite far enough. When I was newly divorced, someone gave me the best advice I’ve ever received. It has gotten me through some pretty rocky moments, and hopefully, it will inspire “Ready” to rethink her desire to be with the lazy creep now in her life. “The only thing worse than being alone is wishing you were.” — Louisville, Ky. Dear Annie: “Ready To Settle Down” wants a commitment from her 55-year-old boyfriend who still lives on his parents’ property, uses her car, belittles her in bed, has a bad temper and hangs around with drinkers and dopers. She needs to follow my rules for dating. These guidelines make the picking and choosing a whole lot easier. Trish’s Four Rules for Dating 1. He/she must not have a criminal history. 2. He/she must be employed. 3. He/she must own his/her own car. 4. He/she cannot live with his/her mother or sleep on his/her best friend’s couch. — Trish

Their team, Groovin’ for a Cure, won the High School Challenge Cup after raising $4,700 for the annual fundraiser.
Students are ‘super heroes’ High school students fundraise with enthusiasm at this year’s Relay For Life Morning Star Staff
With peace signs in abundance, a group of high school students took their inspiration from the ‘60s at last weekend’s Relay For Life fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society. The Groovin’ for a Cure team was made up of a group of Grade 10 students from Kalamalka secondary school, who won this year’s Relay For Life High School Challenge Cup. “This enthusiastic and energetic groups of girls donned T-shirts covered in 1960s inspired peace signs, meeting the Super Hero theme of the event in a unique and thoughtful way,” said Nadine McGregor, Relay For Life team development chair. “The girls took a page out of the Canadian Cancer Society’s handbook by undertaking their own doorto-door campaign in the Coldstream area,
raising more than $4,700. “The team is hoping to return to next year’s event, and will be honing their skills to challenge other teams in some volleyball, scavenger hunts and the exciting new games.” The first Relay For Life event in Canada raised $85,000 in 1999. Since then, the number of Relay events and participants have increased to reach its 11-year milestone in Canada — raising more than $54 million at 485 events across Canada. Canadians from coast to coast come together to celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones and fight back against the disease, while raising vital funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. This inspiring, community-based event is an overnight non-competitive relay involving teams of 10 to 15 people who take turns walking, running or wheeling around a track. Teams demonstrate how a community can come together to support its members, which include families, friends and corporations. Each team camps out on the grounds of the track, enjoying entertainment, and sharing in a camaraderie that provides
inspiration, strength, courage and hope to all those touched by cancer. In Vernon, the event takes place at Polson Park. This year, runner-up for the High School Challenge Cup was the Superman power of the Vernon secondary school leadership team which collected donations of a little more than $4,000. “This large and spirited team put in a strong showing again this year, thanks to leadership teachers Nathan Bartel and Denis Gendron,” said McGregor. Next in line was the Charles Bloom secondary Grads of 2012 team, led by Top Youth Fundraiser Carly Chaput who raised $500. “Fulton secondary fielded a Maroon presence on the site, and also supplied the event with creative and helpful volunteers: Katie Prosak, Josiah Cherrell, Athena Nguyen, Eileen McIntosh and Teegan Wood, whose help was very much appreciated,” said McGregor. “The event organizers would like to thank all students, teachers, parents and donors who supported these teams and we hope to see all the schools return with more ‘fight back’ teams in 2013.

the senses and intellect are unimpaired, three years ago. The disease started with a pain in her right leg with the pain, fatigue and weakness moving throughout her body. “We didn’t know anything about it. There was never anything like this in our family. We found out that there is no known cause or cure and not much drug treatment. Last year, I could use my hands a little but now I have lost the use of my hands and my voice is weakening. Every morning it seems like it is a little weaker. I can’t feed myself now but I can still chew and I eat well,” said White, who has to use an electronic wheelchair and manages to paint with her arm supported in a sling. Her family — husband, Peter, five children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren — keep her going with visits and outings. “I’ve never seen my grandmother upset about it. She and my grandfather are very protective of us and keep strong and positive for us,” said granddaughter Nichoel Crawford. “I think a lot of people don’t know what ALS is or how it affects people and their families.” Crawford, her sister, Stephanie White, and other members of the ALS Society of Vernon have organized the second annual ALS Walk for June 16 in Polson Park. “The money raised goes to help with ALS research and to support people with ALS. There are so many equipment needs a person with ALS goes through, from a walker to a wheelchair to specialized equipment to make life easier. People also need help with transportation to medical appointments and the ALS Clinic in Kelowna for re-assessment,” said Crawford. “I went to the ALS BC conference and the speaker on research said there is hope for a cure in the next five or 10 years and that it may come from other areas of research as

Mina White, top right, and her family, (clockwise from right front), great-granddaughter Keaten Crawford, granddaughter Nichoel Crawford, great-grandson Cooper Crawford, husband Peter White, and granddaughter Stephanie White, will be at the Vernon ALS Walk June 16 in Polson Park.
“Having ALS is very difficult — something you would never expect to happen.” — Mina White they find links with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s.” White is looking forward to the walk which will be led off by the Kalamalka Highlanders Pipe Band. “My son, John, will be pushing me and I’ll enjoy hearing the pipe band because I used to play the bagpipes years ago in Belfast, Northern Ireland. “Having ALS is very difficult — something you would never expect to happen. I try to keep my sense of humour. If you have good humour the people around you will have good memories. I am truly blessed to have my family with me. If I was by myself it would be very scary to have my body go bit by bit but they don’t give me time to be scared. I have my Christian faith and an attitude of gratitude and my loving family.”
Peter added, “In spite of everything, she’s putting up a good fight.” Last year’s walk had 100 participants and raised $33,000. This year’s goal is 150 participants and $40,000. The second annual ALS Walk takes place June 16 in Polson Park with registration at 9 a.m. and the walk around the park pathway starting at 10 a.m. There will be children’s activities, a cake walk, massage table, the Okanagan Landing vintage fire truck and a silent auction including one of White’s paintings. Volunteers are still needed for the day of the walk. To pre-rregister or to volunteer, contact Crawford at vernonwalk@alsbc.ca. ALS: the facts ALS is a fatal neurodegenerative disease where motor nerve cells die and the voluntary muscles degenerate. The senses and intel-
lect remain unaffected. People with ALS become progressively paralyzed and 80 per cent die within two to five years because they are unable to swallow or breathe. There is no known cause or effective treatment or cure for ALS. For every person diagnosed with ALS, a person with ALS dies. About 3,000 Canadians have ALS, which is usually diagnosed between ages 45 and 65, although it can affect people of any age. It affects men and women equally. ALS has an incidence rate similar to that of MS but seems more rare because people with ALS die sooner after diagnosis. About 90-95 per cent of cases occur at random with five to 10 per cent inherited. The ALS Society of B.C. raises funds for research and to provide services for people with ALS with an extensive equipment loan program, support groups and educational material. There is no cost to patients for ALS services. For more information see www.alsbc.ca.

The funds are raised through the 50/50 draw held at the club’s annual Father’s Day Car Show — this year’s show takes place June 17 at the Village Green Centre’s north parking lot. The bursary is given in memory of Bob Aitken, a 30-year member of the club.
The Bible is a library of 66 books presenting God’s purpose with the earth and His plan of redemption for men. The books were written over a period of almost 1,600 yrs; the authors, written by the inspiration of God: kings, statesmen, priests, scribes, shepherds, Àshermen and scholars. Eternal salvation is bound up in an understanding of the Bible.

Horses head to Armstrong to strut their stuff Morning Star Staff
The smooth striders will be out in force this weekend at the Armstrong Agriplex for the 15th Annual Interior All Gaited Breeds Horse Show. Big and tall, small and fast, stylish or elegant, they represent the smoothest riding breeds of horses in the world. Typically, you will see a lot of Peruvians, Rocky/Kentucky Mountain Horses, Tennessee Walkers and Icelandics. Watch closely and you may also spot lesser seen breeds such as the Paso Fino and
Missouri Fox Trotter. Although all of these horses can travel to compete in their own breed shows, the event provides a showcase to celebrate the great pleasure and fun of owning a smooth riding horse. It provides an opportunity for the riders to share their passion for something different. Some will talk about how many hours they can spend in the saddle without being sore afterwards. Others will talk about the versatility of their horses to do a little bit of everything. Everyone will agree that
they love the horses’ willingness to please, their calm temperaments and companionship. There will be 45 classes held Saturday starting at 9 a.m. and Sunday starting at 8:30 a.m., with a mix of the serious gait and equitation classes, along with many fun classes and team relays. The goal is to ensure safety with the highest level of enjoyment possible. Local judge Patti Amos will officiate. Spectators are welcome and a food concession will be available.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) A powerful desire to explore fresh avenues of self-expression could be extremely strong within you. However, if you’re going to indulge, measure both the good and bad aspects. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll feel better about yourself if you first complete what you have on the drawing board before launching a new endeavor. Rewards for doing so are at hand don’t get off course. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) An interesting development having to do with your social life could be looming. Chances are it will involve someone you’ve wanted to meet for quite some time. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Make it a point to elevate your expectations regarding what you’d like to get out of your job or career. Don’t allow self-doubt to cause you to believe that your goals are unattainable. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Although you’re in a cycle where you’re likely to be something of a visionary, if you hope to make your dreams a reality, you must still be pragmatic about what you want. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) If you’ve been contemplating an investment, don’t make any moves without first consulting a friend who is an expert and has effectively advised you previously. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) An alliance in which you’re now involved has mutual benefits to share, but you must nurture it properly if you want it to continue to offer its bounty.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Although at times you might have temporarily experienced some disenchantment with your work, you’ve never felt impelled to change jobs. Once again any career problems will pass. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Go with the flow, but don’t depend on a new social contact to help you advance a commercial endeavor. It could be unsettling if your acquaintance fails to deliver. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Although your patience at times might be pushed beyond its breaking point, you won’t give up on whatever it is you’re doing mostly because you can see the results in your mind. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Because you’re smart enough to not let your optimism cloud out reality, success will be yours. You realize that accomplishments come from seeing things and people for what they are.
HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes and weight gain. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

Chaos reigns in wake of HST
T
he old saying goes that if you like sausages and laws, you shouldn’t watch either one being made. The legislature’s sausage factory worked overtime to crank out a pile of legislative change before the government choked off debate and shut it down for the summer. This is after a dozen complicated bills were stuffed into the hopper in the final month.
For the first time in B.C. history, debate was carried on in three separate chambers to try to get through it all. It created a chaotic scene, with politicians and reporters dashing around trying to create the impression they were on top of it all. The NDP opposition screamed bloody murder about this travesty, especially as the clock ran down last week and bills were assigned a token 30 or 45 minutes

nized sales tax and bring back a computerized version of the old, inefficient provincial sales tax. Unclog the court system, which has become so constipated that a Stanley Cup riot fool can’t even plead guilty in a reasonable time. And find a way to make our growing population of urban anarchists and assorted other deadbeats pay to ride transit. The HST exercise continues to exact its cost. The unprecedented job of creating a modern system for the archaic sales tax was the main cause of the legislative logjam, tying up government lawyers
and delaying drafting of other bills. Small businesses that paid $3,000 to convert to HST get to pay another $3,000 to go back, and we had all better hope the new computer software works. Speaking of computers, one of the laws passed amid the shouting is one that establishes an online system for disputing traffic tickets. Police will print out tickets from their cars instead of handwriting them, and drivers will have an alternative way to argue about whether they really ran that red light. Fighting a ticket in court now takes seven

to 18 months, tying up judges, court registry staff and police. An administrative system won’t keep them all out of court, but the government hopes to reduce the average resolution time to 90 days and save $8 million a year or more. A similar administrative system is being established for small civil claims and strata property disputes. Some legislation is to fix earlier screwups. A judge tossed out B.C.’s most heavyhanded administrative penalties for failing a roadside blood alcohol test, so the government brought in a new version that allows for another administrative appeal. The mistake of making transit operate on a poorly policed “honour system” goes back to Social Credit days. There is finally a system to enforce collection of fines, on those rare occasions when someone is ticketed for taking a free ride. Even with the lastminute rush, four bills couldn’t be rammed through. Since the legislature will almost certainly have to be recalled to impose a contract on teachers this fall, the government would do well to provide a couple of weeks for orderly debate at that time.

Right @ Your Fingertips! Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder THE COIN COULD LAND ON AN EDGY SIDE Ned Rorem, a Pulitzer Prize-winning composer, said, “Humor is the ability to see three sides to one coin.” When we looked at this deal in yesterday’s column, South saw the third side to the coin. In four hearts, instead of relying on either the diamond finesse (heads) or the club finesse (tails), he ruffed the third round of spades, drew trumps ending on the board, and led the fourth spade, discarding a club when East covered. East was endplayed, forced to lead a minor and concede a 10th trick to declarer. However, East should have noted a fourth side to this coin. How can
the defenders defeat four hearts after West leads the spade ace? At trick one, it is tempting for East to signal encouragingly with his 10. But he should wonder from where four tricks might come -- the defensive target. With ace-kingdoubleton of spades, West would have led the king, not the ace. So there are at most two tricks there. And from the point-count, West cannot have another winner. Rather than hoping declarer will take those losing minor-suit finesses, East should discourage at trick one, playing his spade two. Then West should shift to the club three, the low card guaranteeing an honor in the suit. Now the defenders have
the coin-flip on declarer. If South calls for dummy’s low club, East wins with his nine, plays a low spade to his partner’s king, and gets another club lead. If South finesses dummy’s club queen, East wins and plays either a spade or a club. If South wins with dummy’s club ace, he is still doomed.
