Creek claims family pet

A golf cart rollover accident Thursday night at Predator Ridge Golf Resort killed one middleaged Alberta man and injured another. Glenn Thordarson, 51, of Edmonton, was killed while a second Alberta man in the cart, 44, from Calgary, was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital. He was released Friday. The accident, which remains under investigation, happened at around 7:15 p.m. “Information police have learned from a witness nearby is the cart hit a retaining wall, then turned, went over an embankment and rolled down approximately 20 feet to a road below,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. Emergency officials at the scene confirmed Thordarson died at the scene as a result of his injuries. Thordarson was the CEO of Milltech Millwork Ltd., an architectural woodwork firm. The RCMP is continuing to investigate all aspects of the crash. “As of Friday, we are busy following up on everything from who was driving the cart, was alcohol involved, was the cart mechanically sound,” said Molendyk. Police have seized the golf cart and will inspect it, while an RCMP crash analyst has been called in to help with the investigation. On its website, Predator Ridge released the following statement: “The entire staff and organization of Predator Ridge Resort is saddened by this loss and our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of the deceased.”

A playful afternoon at BX Ranch Park turned tragic for a family whose dog was swept away by the creek Thursday. The fast-flowing waters of BX Creek took Carol, Adam and Jesse Campbell-Watt’s chocolate Labrador, Askim, around 4 p.m. Thursday. The faithful family pet was found deceased in the creek Friday. “We have three dogs and they actually all got pulled into the water and we were actually able to retrieve two of them,” said Adam. Dozens of friends, family and fellow dog lovers helped the family search for the five-year-old lab. “We are happy to be taking him home and would like to extend a big thank you to everyone who helped in our search to bring Askim home,” said Adam. “The kindness will never be forgotten.” While the family has never had a problem with their dogs around water before, the creeks are running extraordinarily high due to recent heavy rainfall and snow melt. “It’s going quite fast but they’ve been around water their whole lives and it’s never been a problem,” said Adam. Residents are asked to take extreme caution around rapidly flowing creeks and rivers. Due to the flooding conditions in the region, mainly in the Ashton Creek and Enderby areas, the Emergency Operations Centre was activated to Level 2 Friday. “We want the public to know personnel are on standby and ready to respond to any emergency as a result of flooding,” said Gord Molendyk, information officer for the EOC.

News Sun shines on Kal graduates KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
A pair of rubber boots made the perfect accessory to Shannon Smith’s elegant gown as Kalamalka secondary school graduates gathered at Polson Park Friday. The endless rain had finally stopped as grads gathered for their traditional photos with family and friends, but Smith was taking no chances in the rain-soaked grass. “I’ve got dress shoes for later, but I bought these boots at Wal-Mart this morning,� said Smith, holding up the hem of the emerald green dress she purchased online. Heading to Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah to study nursing in the fall, Smith said she’s feeling emotional at the thought of leaving the town she has called home since she was nine years old. “It all feels quite surreal and it doesn’t really feel like grad yet,� she said. Looking dapper in his tuxedo, Jeremy Woo is all smiles as he reflects back on his five years at Kal. “I especially want to thank Mary Niedballa, who is now at VSS, but she was my drama and English teacher and she has inspired me to do things beyond what I thought possible,� he said. “I’m very excited for the future.� Heading to the University of Calgary to study commerce in the fall, Woo said it’s always difficult to say good-bye to the people who have supported him over the years. “But it’s great to see everyone all dressed up — it’s the Kal secondary social event of the year,� he said. In a dramatic strapless gown purchased in Seattle, Nicolette Bentley is calm on the surface, but admits to mixed emotions as she gets ready to start a new chapter in her life. “I’m feeling a little bit of everything right now and I’m really excited to be graduating, but then again I still feel like I’m in Grade 2, so it’s really hard to believe,� she said. Bentley heads to UBCO in the fall to study sciences. But before she leaves Kal, she wants to express her thanks to English teacher Brad Krahn. “He just always pushed you to be the best you could be,� she said. For parents who remember holding their five-year-old’s hand as they walked them to the kindergarten classroom, graduation is an emotional time. “When I looked at his baby picture, all the memories came flooding back — it’s a wonderful time, but it’s very emotional,� said Sam Plovie, mom to grad Mackenzie. “And since he’s going to be living on campus at UBCO, we’re letting him go a little bit, but still keeping him close enough.�
LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
Matthew Dirks carries his date, Kalamalka secondary graduate Rachel Vanosch, over the puddles at Polson Park Friday. Dad Rick Plovie said watching his son graduate feels like the final act of childhood. “There’s an end to this process and I think most parents hope they have given their kids the foundation to be successful in life,� he said. As Mackenzie gets set to begin his bachelor of science studies at UBCO, majoring in environmental studies, he admits to mixed emotions. “I’m excited and happy and somewhat nervous for the ceremony, with 1,000 people watching,� he said. “I have lots of good memories of my time at Kal, especially with my friends and some fantastic teachers.�

Saskatchewan man identified as glider pilot Morning Star Staff
The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a Prairie man who died when his powered paraglider crashed in a Spallumcheen field Thursday morning. The man is identified as Barry Kleiter, 43, from Humboldt, Sask. Kleiter was flying his powered paraglider solo with an instructor on the ground,
in radio contact with him, when something went wrong just after 9 a.m. Thursday. Kleiter spiralled down from a height of about 300 metres into a field in the 5600 block of Back Enderby Road in Spallumcheen. He had been taking a course in operation of the machine for approximately one week.
The BC Coroners Service and RCMP are continuing to investigate this death. Powered paragliders are classified by Transport Canada as a type of ultralight aircraft. Kleiter’s family has been notified of his death and the media have been asked to respect the privacy of his family in the wake of the tragedy.

Lumby sawmill saved JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Lumby firefighters managed to save the village’s sawmill from going up in flames Friday afternoon. Heavy smoke poured out of Paragon Wood Products’ exterior wall in the second floor of the Shuswap Avenue building when firefighters got the call shortly after
4 p.m. “There is a risk there with sawmills, as we all know,” said fire chief Tony Clayton, who credits his team for containing the damage. The mill is currently not in operation, but crews have been working on the building. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Upgrades on the market RICHARD ROLKE
MQN ARCHITECTS DRAWING
Morning Star Staff
Farmers markets are extremely popular and there are efforts to encourage even more growth. The Vernon Farmers Market is proposing a number of upgrades to its parking lot site at Wesbild Centre as a way of encouraging residents and tourists to attend every Monday and Thursday. “It’s the perfect location but for growth and enhancement, it needs some funding, some ongoing planning and some tender loving care,� said Wayne Seabrook, market manager. For about $300,000, it’s proposed that water, sewer and electrical services be connected to the site for use by vendors. The plan also calls for a stage, benches, hanging baskets, trash containers and welcome signs. “It will help bring more money into the economy,� said Vicki Topping, an architect working on the project. About 2,307 customers attend the market each day, and the impact of the market on the local economy is about $1.6 million annually. “This is a major chance for farmers to sell their product,� said John Cox, who grows potatoes in the BX. Water and sewer would allow there to be washrooms right on-site instead of people cur-

rently having to access facilities inside Wesbild. “I’m a one-man show. When I have to go, I have to race to Wesbild and my neighbour must look after my stall,� said Cox. However, the plan has raised some concerns from the Regional District of North Okanagan, which owns the property. “It’s sitting in the middle of the parking lot,� said director Mike Macnabb of washrooms and a stage. “Once you put in a building, it’s there.� It’s believed six to eight parking stalls would be lost to the 20-foot-by-20-foot structure. Director Jackie Pearase also questioned the financial plan for the concept. “It’s the regional district, you get the site for free (no rent), now and you want them to pay for the improvements,� she said. There’s been some
suggestion of a permanent market being constructed in downtown Vernon, but Seabrook says his group is not interested because Wesbild provides lots of room, sufficient parking and is on major transit and traffic routes. “You couldn’t do it on the scope we’re

doing it downtown without bulldozing a lot of buildings,� he said. Director Bob Fleming wants to look at the Vernon Farmers Market request further. “There’s a lot of good ideas there. The market gives people producing in our area an outlet to people,� he said.

Mayors seek end to downloading ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Enough is enough, according to Spallumcheen Mayor Janice Brown. Having attended a three-day meeting in Penticton with 85 other mayors from around B.C., Brown said the prevailing attitude from all municipal leaders is they’ve had enough downloading of services from the provincial and federal governments. “They keep putting in rules and regulations, and it’s costing us all money,” said Brown at a recent regular council meeting. “We’re trying to fig-
“It’s costing us all money.” — Janice Brown ure out a new partnership with the provincial and federal governments. We’re trying to figure out how to solve the downloading and other decisions being made by government.” The mayors are hopeful the governments will partner with them at a round table discussion to talk about the impacts downloading are hav-
ing on communities. In Spallumcheen, the township is currently in a debate with the provincial government over the township taking over maintenance and upgrades to the Fortune Creek Diking District. “We’re just trying to get their attention. We need to let them know what they’re doing is not working,” said Brown, who
said she was glad she attended the conference. “They keep cutting our hands, cutting our hands, cutting our hands.” Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper took a pass on the meeting. “There are things we can bring up with government at SILGA (Southern Interior Local Government Association) and UBCM (Union of British Columbia Municipalities), where we get a chance to speak with the government,” said Pieper. “I couldn’t justify spending three days in Penticton when we get a chance to meet with
ministers and government officials at those two conferences.” Pieper said he is planning to meet with mayors during a mayors-only meeting at UBCM in the fall.

Persistence has paid off for the Township of Spallumcheen. The township would not budge in negotiations with the RCMP over payment for municipal police members after Spallumcheen’s population rose above 5,000 in the latest census. Those numbers meant the township would Todd York now be responsible for paying for police. “They kept saying we would have to pay for four members and we’ve said many times ‘wait just a minute, we only want to pay for three,’” said Mayor Janice Brown. Spallumcheen will be responsible for paying for three police members for two years, retroactive from April 1, 2012, to March 2014. Coun. Todd York said the move doesn’t mean less police coverage for Spallumcheen. “We have an integrated unit which includes members in Armstrong,” said York. “We don’t lose

It doesn’t mean less of a force.” The township had budgeted in its financial plan for 3.5 officers and were going to pay for the members from a combination of taxation and drawing from reserves. Chief financial officer Brian Freeman-Marsh said talks with the finance committee over having to pay for less officers means there won’t be a need to draw from reserves, and that money can be used to potentially pay for policing in subsequent years.

Divorce, Facebook style
A
recent report states that Facebook was mentioned in one-third of all divorce cases in 2011. Oddly, the story didn’t say what was mentioned in the other two-thirds of divorces. I would guess drinking, drugs, cheating, gambling and violence popped up quite a bit, with an occasional mention of man caves, tattoos, topless bars, video games, secret second families, unemployment, child endangerment, immaturity, desertion and “irreconcilable differences” (as if all the other reasons are reconcilable). So, obviously, Facebook is the No. 1 problem. Say you learn that your husband is cheating on you from a Jim Mullen “friend” on Facebook. Is Facebook really the problem? Of course it is. Your husband wouldn’t have cheated if he knew you would find out about it so soon. He was hoping you would find out years from now, after the affair was over, so he could say: “Stop digging up the past. It’s over; it’s time to move on. That was years ago. I have a completely new girlfriend now. Why is Facebook trying to wreck our happy home?” Trashing Facebook is a story that almost writes itself, whereas writing about people who should never have gotten married in the first place is a little more difficult. Married and pregnant at 16 and it didn’t work out? Blame Facebook. Life didn’t become a fairy tale after marrying the boss, who still treats you like an employee? Blame Facebook. Writing about the evils of Facebook is easy, especially for those people who can see no earthly reason to be on Facebook. “I already have plenty of friends,” is an oft-heard comment. I, too, have a problem with Facebook, even though I use it and even though I suffer from OCD (obsessive computer disorder), a malady that makes me check the balance of my IRA 10 times a day and my email 10 times an hour. But
THE VILLAGE IDIOT
if my marriage ever goes south, it will be because I am a jerk and not because I started posting pictures of cute cats on Facebook. There’s plenty to criticize FB for -- its huge invasion of privacy, for one. If your friends don’t already know your birthday, are they really your friends? Or are they identity thieves? Why would you broadcast this kind of information to strangers on the Internet? If Facebook asked for mothers’ maiden names and Social Security numbers, there is no doubt most users would willingly provide them. The hype over Facebook’s initial public offering was also disturbing. “Facebook already has 900 million members. Look how fast it has grown,” my stock-buying friends say. But do you really think there is someone out there who wants to be on Facebook but just hasn’t had time to sign up? Facebook has all the members (within a few hundred million) it is ever going to get. It is not going to grow. As a matter of fact, it is going to shrink as other, more discriminating social networks proliferate. You may already have plenty of friends, but do you have the right friends? Even with the iffy IPO, Facebook will make scads of money. It has only 3,500 employees. Compare that to the 200,000 at General Motors or the 500,000 at the U.S. Post Office. Facebook lets its computers do all the work; it’s not the kind of business that needs a lot of hot bodies. It will make a ton of money on advertising, but that doesn’t mean the Johnny-come-lately IPO investors will make any money. It’s Apples and Googles. So does Facebook cause divorce? The spouses who mention Facebook in their filings would have gotten divorced anyway, I’m sure. But I wonder how many people have caught up with old flames on Facebook and gotten married? How many weddings have taken place because of Facebook and other social networks? Should there be two sides to this story? No, of course not. Whatever was I thinking?

It’s grad season. High school seniors across the North Okanagan, and B.C., are in the final days of their formative education before moving on to post secondary studies, perhaps travel or maybe the work world. Okanagan College and UBCOkanagan are holding grand ceremonies to bestow degrees and diplomas. It’s a time of transition for students, as they emerge from the schools, teachers and friends they’ve known for so many years and step into new worlds, with new challenges, new demands. It’s a time for them to reflect on what they’ve accomplished and to begin charting the path for the next phase of their lives. The only thing certain is the uncertainty of what lies ahead. Economies in North America and Europe are sputtering. The booms in China and India have quieted. Unemployment is up, wages are down, the social safety net is slowly unraveling as governments around the world can no longer sustain the cost of helping their citizens through tough times, or into retirement. Some experts say we’re on the brink of a global recession. But none of that will dull the gleaming smiles of those grads as they march up the aisle to receive their parchment, or diminish their pride of accomplishment. After all, every generation of grads seems to have challenges to face, whether it’s the rising cost of education, changing technology, diminishing job markets, inflation, deflation, debt, sometimes even war. Somehow, they persevere. Many thrive. Most will become upstanding citizens, carving out their little corner of the world. – New West NewsLeader

Cyclists must know the rules
I
was driving home late one night on Highway 6. I was making a righthand turn on to Waddington Drive when all of a sudden, a cyclist was in my headlights. If it wasn't for my quick reaction, I would have hit him. After he passed me, he shouted some rude remark. He was cycling in the dark on the wrong side of the road with no lights and dark clothing. This is the second time this has happened. The first time, the cyclist was a boy and again, if it wasn't for my quick reaction, I would have hit him. Again, there were no lights, dark clothing, the wrong side of the road and in exactly the same place. It seems to me that if cyclists want bicycle lanes, they should know the rules of the road. The next time, I may not be so quick to avoid the cyclist. They were lucky. L.M. Neufeld SURGERY NEEDED I have just been informed by my doctor that after seeing my MRI, I need surgery. On my left shoulder, I have a very bad tear and that is why I have so much pain. Then he informed me that he could operate in another year or 18 months. I can't believe this. The pain I have is so bad that I am on 80 millilitres a day of morphine plus other pain killers. They do not help much. I am a pensioner and retired. Unfortunately, while our community and its surrounding area has grown so much and so fast, our local hospital resources have not kept pace. Therefore, Vernon Jubilee Hospital has an inadequate number of beds to allow its doctors to look after the sick and injured, let alone those who require scheduled admission for a surgical or diagnostic procedure. Most of the residents of Vernon and local area know that our new tower opened in September of last year. When the new tower opened in September, it had two top floors that were left empty and unfurnished. These floors are shelledin for use as acute care wards sometime in the future.
Also, the tower opened with two shelled-in operating rooms for completion at a later date. Our provincial government and the Interior Health Authority will not commit to a date to complete these two acute care floors and two operating rooms. We say the time to finish them in now. Bill Tullett A RESPONSE In her riposte to Scott Anderson, Sharon Ramsdale made some good points, and took pains to point out the quasi-socialist characteristics of John A MacDonald and other "Conservative" governments that succeeded his in the early years of this country's existence. Mercantilism, blind loyalty to the mother country (odd for a Scot, when you think of it), the creation of the CBC, the wheat board, the handgun registry — all very "activist" and Progressive, as she says. And mostly unnecessary and harmful, though that is perhaps an argument for another day. The crucial point she misses is this: the definitions of words change over time, and the meanings of
terms like conservative, liberal, democratic etc., in the political sense have evolved a bit since 1867, 1911 or 1917. In John A's day, being conservative did indeed mean preserving tradition, more specifically preserving the privilege of the remittance men and other assorted fakers who passed themselves off as the new country's upper class in those days. It was the Liberals, under Laurier, who were then the party of individual freedom, free enterprise, closer ties with the U.S. than with the Crown, free trade etc. How things change! Now, a century or so later, the Liberals (federal and provincial) are the party of regulation, rule by bureaucrat, cronyism, an ever-expanding state and a complete disregard for the freedom of the individual citizen. Not exactly living up to their OED definition either, are they? And it is now conservatives, particularly the B.C. Conservatives, who favour liberty, true free enterprise (as opposed to crony capitalism and "managed trade"), and a shrinking of the state
and it's influence over and cost to the citizenry. Of course, there is that other great example of of a badly misnamed institution, the NDP. They are, as is well known, not remotely describable as "new," having been around under one name or another since the 1930s. And any party which subscribes to socialism, and intends to impose it on the populace at large, has a lot of nerve calling itself democratic. Her comparisons to the U.S. Republican Party are curious. With the exception of some of the newly-elected Tea Party members, most Republican congressmen aren't remotely conservative (in the modern sense described above). So perhaps John A MacDonald would be appalled by modern Canadian conservatism, with it's emphasis on equality before the law, lowering taxes and tariffs, non-interference in the lives of the citizenry, and zero tolerance for public sector malfeasance. Just as we modern conservatives are appalled when we look at the cronyism, bribe-taking, and general
dishonesty that characterized his governments. Most people are appalled by such things, and would not consider them to be "our Canadian traditions." Ian Tribes APPRECIATION The other day, I was in line having copies made of many sheets of photographs and stories to make small booklets in memory of my sister who had recently passed away. When I had made my decision to have the copying done and moved out of the line, a woman who had been behind me came over and placed money on the table and said it was to be a contribution for the expense of the booklets I was making. I tried to return the money but she would not take it. She said she was giving it because she had not done something like that for her own sister who had passed away recently and she regretted not having done the same. As I was so surprised, I didn't even have the sense to get her name. I am putting this in your paper to thank her and to let your readers know that there are
a lot of wonderful people in this world and we shouldn't forget it. Geraldine Ames

Swan Lake trail off track RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A new pedestrian trail may make economic sense, but the timing is getting a rough ride from politicians. Regional District of North Okanagan directors are unwilling to commit to a path along Old Kamloops Road at this time although the cost would be reduced if it was done in conjunction with current water system upgrades underway. “It’s not fair to directors that this get dropped on them like this,” said director Doug Dirk, adding that the 2012 budget is completed. — Pinkoski “This trail has not been discussed before.” D i re c tor Mike Macnabb also questioned bringing the $175,000 item forward now. “It’s a big whack of dough and we’re in the midst of the parks service review. We don’t know what’s in and what’s out (of the function).” The 2.7 kilometre trail between 43rd Avenue and Goose Lake Road has not been on a priority list. But staff decided to propose the project because Old Kamloops Road is currently being ripped up for the separation of domestic and agricultural water lines. The existing contractor would be given the opportunity to give a cost for placement of material and grading the trail. “There could be potentially a large cost savings,” said Keith Pinkoski, parks planner. “If we did it separately, we could be looking at three times the cost.”
“There could be a large cost savings.”

Road work will continue on Old Kamloops Road between 43rd Ave. and Highway 97 causing minor delays until Aug, 30. The proposal will be referred to the Greater Vernon parks review for consideration, but the issue could be raised again. “Excavation has just started so we have time for the investigation required,” said director Bob Fleming of looking at the budget and project priorities.

In the old days, prostate cancer treatment meant big incisions, complications and a lengthy hospital stay. But now, thanks to such instruments as a resectoscope, things have changed greatly. “The resectoscope allows us to remove prostate tissue without big incisions in the belly,” explained Dr. Denis Lavoie, one of three urologists working at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, singing the praises of the instrument purchased thanks to the annual Do It For Dad fundraiser. “With this we can work through the urine passage and remove tissue whether it’s cancerous or non-cancerous to allow men to empty their bladders better. It’s a very good tool.” The resectoscope

costs approximately $25,000 and is on the urologists’ wish list that they supply to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation, who then go about raising funds to purchase the equipment. “With the volume of work we do, we need a number of these resectoscopes,” said Lavoie, who is joined at VJH by Drs. Greg Houle
and Troy Schultz. “Sometimes we have three or four patients needing this instrument in a day. And the group has come in to help.” The ‘group’ is the Vernon Prostate Cancer Support and Awareness Group, along with the foundation. Since 2003, more than $218,000 has been raised by the groups

Prostate cancer is the number one threat to Canadian men. It will affect one-in-seven men in their lifetime. In 2012, approximately 25,500 men in Canada will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and 4,100 will die of the disease. The Do It For Dad Run and Walk is slated for Sunday, June 17, at the Coldstream Ranch.

The club has been operating out of the Vernon Recreation Complex and Armstrong Elementary School.

RBC rally kicks off at festival Morning Star Staff
A rally and celebration will mark Vernon being awarded the 2014 RBC Cup Canadian Junior A Hockey Championship tournament. The half-hour rally will start at noon Saturday on the main stage at the corner of 30th Avenue and 29th Street during the annual Downtown Vernon Association Sunshine Festival. “Originally we planned to meet at Spirit Square at city hall,” said RBC Cup 2014 planner Don Klepp. “But when the Sunshine Festival’s Holly Schmidt invited us to join the event, we jumped at the chance.” At the rally, a representative from Hockey Canada will give the final word about Vernon’s bid for the RBC Cup.

News Is it better to lease or finance a new vehicle? Here is a question I got from a consumer that wanted some information on leasing and financing: “Is it better for a person to lease or finance a new vehicle?” — George B Well the answer to that question will depend on your current situation, What the vehicle is being used for, how many kilometers per year you are driving, How often you want to trade your vehicle in? And a lot more. However I will give you a few benefits to each and a simple way to work out which makes the most sense for you. The nice thing about leasing a New vehicle is the future value of the vehicle is determined by the lease company. This is also known as the residual value. The great thing about having a residual value on a lease is that you have a guaranteed value for that vehicle at the end of the term pending you adhere to the mileage and the vehicle is in reasonable condition when it comes time to review your options. If your vehicle is worth more than the residual you can trade it or buy it and be ahead of the game, if it is the same you can drop it off and shop for another car or buy it out and know it is a fair deal. The real bonus is if the vehicle is worth less than the buyout you can just drop it off and walk away. The reason it is worth less can be for many reasons: maybe an accident, the market changed and used car values have dropped, etc. Some of the benefits to financing are there are no mileage penalties so you do not have to worry about going over on your kilometers. You actually own the vehicle; you don’t have to contact the dealership to get the buyout you can get it directly from the bank. If you wish to alter the appearance or performance of the vehicle you can without having to worry if it falls into the guidelines of a lease. Plus a lot of other benefits too. There are lots of benefits to both options but in the end you need to look at the overall cost and benefit of each one. To see what you are actually paying on the lease take the total of all payments plus any money down plus applicable taxes plus the residual value plus the taxes on it. (With the residual you need to decide if you would be financing that end amount or just paying it out cash? This will make a difference to your overall out of pocket.) When you have the number compare it to the financing option by taking any money down and then adding all the payments together for the entire term including all taxes and fees this should give you the exact cost of the vehicle over the term. Take a look at the overall costs they may be the same or they may be considerably different. I am sure you can make an educated decision on which is better for you at this point. The numbers don’t lie! It’s just hard to see them correctly sometimes. — Brian Westwell.

Golf duo drives for Games’ berth KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Matt McEachran-Law will be smiling at any sand traps coming his way today in the B.C. Junior zone qualifying tournament in Revelstoke. The 16-year-old long ball hitter went into the 36-hole event oozing of confidence in the bunker. “My long game is pretty good, but my short game is off; my wedge game is down the drain,� said McEachran-Law, a four handicap at the Vernon club. “If I could just play out of bunkers and drive, I could win a tournament.� The Grade 10 Seaton student was laughing about his struggles and hopes to follow a superb showing at the Zone 2 B.C. Summer Games playdowns when he carded a 71 for third place and a spot on the Okanagan team. He and good buddy Russell Day, who’s also playing in Revelstoke this weekend, will play in their first Summer Games, July 19-22 at Hazelmere in Surrey. There was a field of 74 at the ThompsonOkanagan zone qualifier with the top four 16 and under players making the Games’ team. “It was nice to have the qualifier here because you know all the blind spots on the course,� said McEachran-Law. Matt, whose brother Chris golfed in the Summer Games two years ago in Langley, took up golf as a six-year-old, getting serious about his game at 10. “I played with my brother a lot and played with lots of older kids and I played better doing that. My dad and brother were always better than me, but two years ago I passed my dad.� McEachran-Law took lessons from Scott Allan two years ago at Predator Ridge, but is tweaking his own game these days with Allan no longer at the resort. “He (Allan) changed my grip. He’s the reason I’m a good bunker player.� Allan believes the combination of McEachran-Law’s aggressive golf game and strong social skills will be a great asset to the Zone 2 team. “The Summer Games are all about coming together quickly as a team, forming instant bonds with your fellow athletes and enjoying the experience,� said Allan. Matt, who plays regularly with Day at Vernon, follows the PGA Tour with great interest. “I like (Phil) Mickelson in general, but
my favourite personality is Ben Crane. He’s super slow, but he’s funny.� Away from the tee boxes and bunkers, McEachran-Law is a pretty good basketball player. He was a shooting guard with the senior AA Seaton Sonics last season, making the Valleys. He’s now playing spring league in Kelowna with the likes of Jon Garvie, Chris Gallant and Ajay Jhajj. “I’m pretty torn between the two sports right now,� said McEachran-Law, who is also joined on the Summer Games team by Lionel Taylor and Colten Share of Kelowna. Day, also 16 and in Grade 10 at Seaton, began whacking a ball at age four with his grandfather, Len Adams. “He took me here for junior lessons on the range a few times. I was kind of frustrated at first when I was five or six. When I was 10, I could finally hit the ball straight.� Also deep off the tee, Day holds a strong short game thanks in part to tips from Vernon pro Justin Baillargeon. “He’s got a great game,� said Baillargeon. “Shooting 73 under pressure here did wonders for his confidence. He rocked it.� When he’s not on the course or the range, Day works in the back, where he’s been part of the pro shop staff for three years. “He was a little kid when he started here,� said Neal Koide, director of member services. “He grew six to eight inches in the last 10 months and he’s shooting in the 70s. “He’s here everyday practising, even on his days off. He was out in the rain Wednesday, in a chipping contest with some other kids.� Said Day: “I play almost everyday with Matt; we’ll play 36 holes a day in the summer.� Day, who in his younger years, received lessons from Jesse Crowe and Kevin Geistlinger, likes the young Tour phenoms like Rickie Fowler on Bubba Watson. “Their videos are pretty funny,� said Day, a former talented hockey centre who played Libero (defensive specialist) for Seaton junior volleyball Sonics a year ago when they finished seventh in B.C. Prior to the Revelstoke playoffs, Day was shaping things up with his TaylorMade R11S stiff shaft driver, working especially on his draw shot. The provincial junior goes July 10-13 at Sunshine Coast Golf & County Club in Sechelt.

Sista’s play Kickers to stalemate Morning Star Staff
The Sunterra Custom Homes Sista’s and OMG Chick Kickers battled to a 2-2 draw in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer League Division 2 action Thursday night at Marshall Field #5. The Sista’s, who had just eight players show up in the rain, opened the scoring when defender Marisa Wiebe fed Madison Demers, who put a great through ball to Deanna Baker for a terrific 20-yard strike. The Kickers equalized when striker Marie Jansen headed in a great cross from Tye Ayugust past keeper/sweeper Sherry Wiebe. Cara Main and August assisted the Kickers’ go-ahead goal by Monica Holubowski with a high shot over keeper Jenny Curry. The Sista’s equalized midway through
the second half when Baker’s corner was tapped in by Tania Wirachowsky. Madison Demers, Sharina Zantingh, and Andrea Zubot kept working hard for Sista’s by carrying the ball through the midfield creating many offensive opportunities. Kickers’ keeper Wendy Nadeau had luck on her side with a little help from her back line. Strong support in the middle came from Nadine Krywonos, Jen Garnet, Holubowski and Bobbi Catt. In Okangan Oldtimers Men’s 50+ League play, Vernon Kal Tire grabbed an early 3-0 lead and hung on to stop Kelowna 5-2 at Marshall #3. Midfielder Jim Sparrow scored two goals before leaving the game with a pulled hamstring midway through the first half. Midfielder Denis Chabot also scored twice and took the Ramshorn Pub
Man of the Match. Kal Tire keeper Geoff Bradbury made a few tough saves and stepped up and drilled a penalty shot straight up the middle past a startled Chris Burkitt, for the eventual winner. The PK was awarded when striker Mike Lloyd, who ran miles, was pulled down. The tiremen are 6-3. The Silver Stars used goals from Phil Fanfani and Colin Greveling in a 2-0 win over Lake Country at Beasley Park. Fanfani scored on a breakaway, while Grevling converted a goal-mouth header. Jenne Hubert missed on a couple of solo chances for the 4-3-2 Stars, who owned the play. It was a fairly quiet night for Stars’ keeper Ray Timms, who finished three chapters of the latest Harry Potter novel.

Sports Filios heads camp
GOING GREEN
Continued from A19 “The results have been phenomenal as many provincial-level players have emerged from this camp.” Olson, a former University of Victoria Viking under coach Ken Shields, has been involved in Hoops and Hustle for 25 years. “The importance of going to basketball camp in the summer is enormous,” he said. “Basketball players are made in the offseason.” The staff is composed of local high school coaches, working in conjunction with instructors from Seattle Pacific University and, for the 18th straight year, Gonzaga University in Spokane. Chris (Bubba) Filios, assistant coach with the Seattle Pacific University Falcons, will be this year’s guest coach. Filios spent seven seasons – four as manager and three as an assistant – with the Gonzaga Bulldogs, helping the men’s team go 184-44 (81 per cent winning). Over that span, the Bulldogs won seven West Coast Conference Championships, with two appearances in the Sweet 16. Filios is 43-18 as an assistant with SPU, with one entrance in the NCAA Division 2 Sweet 16. For additional information, contact Olson at 545-1348, ext.145.

North Okanagan Hospice Society Invitation to Join the Board of Directors Join us in creating the future of end-of-life care in the North Okanagan. The North Okanagan Hospice Society is a community based charitable organization whose purpose is to provide respect, comfort and compassion in life’s final journey, for all in the North Okanagan. NOHS was initially formed in 1984 as a small volunteer organization with a visiting program. The Society is seen as a leader in providing end-of-life services in the BC interior. In 2008 we completed a major expansion at Hospice House in Vernon. Our twelve-bedroom facility, staffed by a care-giving team of staff and volunteers, provides individualized physical, emotional and spiritual support to those with palliative diagnosis. We are seeking individuals to join our Board of Directors. If you have experience serving on a board of directors, a passion and history of community engagement, and can commit an average of up to ten hours a month, we invite you to consider joining our Board of Directors. Management and policy development experience, especially in the broader health care sector, and/or experience in policy governance would be an asset. Those seeking more information about the North Okanagan Hospice Society are encouraged to visit our website www.nohs.ca or to contact Bob Thompson at thompson@junction.net. If you are interested in becoming a member of our Board, we would welcome an indication of your interest, with a summary of your work and board experience, Attention: Bob Thompson, either via e-mail at thompson@junction.net or a letter which can be dropped off at NOHS, 3506 - 27th Avenue, Vernon, BC V1T 1S4 by June 25, 2012.
Treasures benefit hospital Morning Star Staff
Progress was made recently in the upper parking lot of Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Under blue sky and a hot sun, the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Auxiliary Society raised close to $1,800 at Treasures in the Trunk. The event replaced the auxiliary’s Garden Fair which has been held every year in Polson Park. With nine vendors, Treasures in the Trunk had a wide variety of items for sale, with 100 per cent of the proceeds going
back to the hospital for patient comfort and much-needed equipment. “The auxiliary had plants donated by various businesses in the local area and wishes to thank those establishments,” said Connie Lang, a member of the Treasures in the Trunk organizing committee. “White elephant items were donated by the general public — thank you for your generosity.” Items left over from the sale were donated to the Allan Brooks Nature Centre for their annual garage sale.
“Thank you to the members for their efforts to host this event,” said Lang. “Kudos to the customers who supported this event by way of purchasing an item. To Elephant and Vernon moving and storage for usage of truck and helpers. Funtastic supported us by loaning tables and we couldn’t have done it without them; Watkin Motors donated the balloons which in turn put smiles on kids’ faces. “We are looking forward to hosting another such event in the near future because of this year’s success.”
Day helps to take steps towards healing KYM HOWAY Special to The Morning Star
June 11, 2012 is the National Day of Healing and Reconciliation. So what does that mean? In 2008 both Australia and Canada recognized that past government policies of assimilation and the residential school system caused great hardship to aboriginal people. Both governments condemned the creation of the system that carried these policies out. In Australia the day is called Sorry Day and was the original basis of the National Day of Healing and Reconciliation (NHDR) in Canada. NDHR is a day when we can all learn more about the collective history of aboriginal and non-aboriginal peoples in Canada and gain a greater understanding of the policies that contributed to
the tragic dismantling of aboriginal cultures, language and spirituality. Families, individuals, communities, churches, and governments are now moving towards celebrating the positives of collective healing and reconciliation. As a health care worker how does this have relevance to my tobacco reduction work in aboriginal communities? Many of the legacies of a fractured culture are detrimental to the health of our native communities — high rates of tobacco addiction are one example. We have not been immune to the instant gratification of using and abusing commercial tobacco. Fortunately, using cultural practices, language, respect for medicines and traditions aboriginal people can regain their healthy lifestyles. Communities can celebrate their way
of life by honouring traditions such as growing our own tobacco for use in ceremonies and medicine. We can celebrate our elders and our healers by returning to growing what we use and not misusing tobacco as something smoked then cast off on the ground under our feet. In the spirit of NDHR, many communities in the Interior Health region have taken steps to restore some of these practices and are now growing tobacco for ceremonial use while working hard to help people address addiction to smoking tobacco. For more information about the National Day of Healing and Reconciliation visit: www.ndhr.ca. Kym Howay is an aboriginal tobacco reduction coordinator with Interior Health.

Did North Okanagan charities benefit from a charity storage auction? Yuuuup. Spall Storage Centre hosted its first Storage Warz, based on the popular television show Storage Wars, on May 5. The company donated 10 empty lockers to local organizations, who filled the lockers with goods. Auction-goers had a chance to inspect the lockers – just like on the television show – without going inside them, then place a bid. Monies raised went to local charities. “The day was fabulous,� said Patti Wood, organizer and co-owner of Spall Storage Centre. “We ended up raising more than $10,600 in about four hours. The lockers sold off and our

spot auction items went well.� With auctioneer Paul Ricca of Valley Auction leading the charges, the highest locker went for approximately $800. A couple of special spot auction items – black ball hats with the word “Yuuup� emblazoned on front, an homage to Storage Wars star Dave Hester, who uses the word on the TV show
everytime he bids on a storage locker – raised nearly $200. “The 10 lockers sold off and eight special spot auction items, plus the silent auction and barbecue all helped raise the money for charity,� said Wood. “The businesses who bought the lockers have been presenting the charities with the cheques.�

Wood said Ricca did a fabulous job with the auction, and Ricca was so taken with the event he volunteered his time for next year, which Wood confirmed there would be a second annual charity auction. Also enamored with the original event is main corporate sponsor Valley First Credit Union. “Valley First head office in Penticton came
on as the event sponsor, and they were so impressed by how well everything went, they committed as event sponsor for next year,� said Wood, delighted with the inaugural auction that drew close to 400 people. “We were thrilled,� she said. “We had a fabulous group of volunteers that helped make everything run smoothly.�

Cyclist wheels toward West challenge Morning Star Staff
Leah Goldstein won’t see as many states in her latest trip south of the border. The defending women’s solo champion of the gruelling Race Across America, the Vernon cyclist is shortening her trip when she starts Wednesday in the Race Across the West event, which goes 800 miles from Oceanside, Cal. to Durango, Col. The 2011 Race Across America went from California to Maryland – a distance of 3,000 miles – and Goldstein finished a day-and-ahalf ahead of her closest opponent. That event has been called the toughest bike race in the world. So 800 miles from California to Colorado will be much easier, right? “I don’t take any race lightly,” said Goldstein. “It’s still sleep deprivation, deserts, 7,000 feet of climbing and really tough competition.” That tough competition comes in the form of American Seana Hogan, who has won many ultra-distance cycling events, including Race Aross America and holds the 24-Hour World Record. Goldstein is a relative new-comer to ultracycling (only her third year) but has won every-
thing she’s entered, and holds several records of her own. Race organizers are advertising this as the showdown of the decade as these two master athletes go head to head. “I never underestimate anyone,” said Goldstein. “I always train to win, and that is always my intention at the starting line. But anyone can be beaten.
Anyone.” Goldstein started cycling in the late 1980s, but didn’t start her ultracycling career until 2009. She had been considering changing gears from stage racing to ultraendurance racing for a while, and after three crashes (one near fatal) she decided it was time. Goldstein is no
stranger to tough competition. At 14, she was a national taekwondo champion, and by 17 became the world kick boxing champion. Her 10-year professional cycling career took her across the world for many races including the Tour de France. Goldstein is sponsored by Trek, Pearl Izumi, Shimano,
Zeal, Continental Tires, Fresh Air and BreakAway Fitness. She is currently a trainer at BreakAway Health & Fitness and shares her cycling and kick boxing passion with their members. To follow Goldstein’s progress in this year’s Race Across the West, visit the BreakAway Fitness Facebook page.

KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
When Barbara Ann Deane was diagnosed with cancer, she refused to let the terminal diagnosis prevent her from fulfilling her dream of writing a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book. Completed in the last six weeks of her life, Daphne & Leopold is a labour of love between Deane and her sister, Karin Jefferies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When she was first diagnosed, she was told the cancer was inoperable, but she was a very positive thinker and she lived for two years after her diagnosis,â&#x20AC;? said Jefferies, who recently moved back to Vernon after six years of living in Ontario. Daphne & Leopold Barbara Ann Deane tells the story of a dragonfly and a lion who become best friends in a land called One. The story is a way of demonstrating to children that everyone is connected, as well as the importance of living life with a positive attitude. The story got its start thanks to a cruise Deane and Jefferies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sisters and best friends â&#x20AC;&#x201D; took to Alaska. The I Can Do It! cruise was led by inspirational author Louise Hay and it was there that Deane took a writing course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From that point on, she was always saying she was going to write a book and that the words will come when the time is right,â&#x20AC;? said Jefferies, a retired nurse, who worked in the ICU at Vernon Jubilee Hospital and as a home care nurse with Interior Health, a job she loved. By the time Deane was admitted to the Christine Morrison Hospice in Mission, B.C., her health was failing quickly. But the hospiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logo, a butterfly, inspired her to insist that all who came to visit her should make a butterfly. Jefferies has gathered all of the colourful, treasured keepsakes in a special box. At the same time, hospice volunteers helped Deane get her story typed up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She got inspired for the story when one of her friends brought in a dragonfly balloon and she named it Daphne. She would laugh and say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alive,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; because she would stare at Barb. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then the gals she worked with brought in a stuffed lion and she named it Leopold. They inspired her to write the story because she believes we are all one.â&#x20AC;? Jefferies, who was living in Fort Erie, Ont. at the time, flew back and forth to be with her sister, who would read the latest pages

She would look at me and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cry.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I told her I would make sure her book was published. It just brightened her up so much to be doing this.â&#x20AC;? Deane passed away in November 2010, and Jefferies quickly got to work in ensuring her sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book found a voice. She found an illustrator, Jennette Conners, who had recently finished her schooling. Jefferies knew she had found the right person for the job when Conners opened up the box of handmade butterflies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She said she knew what Barb wanted for the book,â&#x20AC;? said Jefferies, who published the book through Balboa Press, a division of Hay House, and launched it one year after the death of her sister, at the I Can Do It! conference in Tampa, Fla. Jefferies feels her sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence every day and said working on the book has been an important part of her healing.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Barb loves the book â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I feel quite a connection to her and I think the book has an energy all its own. I really believe in it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about getting it to the schools and to the library because it has such a beautiful message for children. She left this as a gift for all the children of the world, and for the child within each one of us.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the last few weeks of her life, Barb found such joy and peace in creating this wonderful tale that will deeply touch hearts and give everyone encouragement to follow their dreams.â&#x20AC;? Just one year apart, Deane and Jefferies grew up in Saskatchewan, attending a oneroom school house. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Barb maintained her small-town soul and opened her heart to everyone as she journeyed through life. Family and friends were foremost for her and she was so proud of her four children, and all of her grandchildren held a very special place in her heart.â&#x20AC;? For many years, Deane worked as the
office supervisor at Yale secondary school in Abbotsford, pouring her creative spirit into student activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She wrote poetry for every occasion and it always displayed her quick wit and wonderful sense of humour.â&#x20AC;? Some of Jefferiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; favourite memories are the times she shared with her sister during her visits to the Okanagan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Barb loved Vernon and she loved swimming in the lakes. We were both on our spiritual path together, we meditated and read the same books. We talked all the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The gift she left me is not only the story and the chance to publish a book, but also to start writing myself and I have a series of childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books I want to do.â&#x20AC;? Daphne & Leopold is available through the website, http://childrensbooksforthespirit.com or by contacting Jefferies directly at 778-475-0024 or shambala3@shaw.ca â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a portion of all sales is being donated to The Christine Morrison Hospice Society.

The planning started the day after the last Sunshine Festival, but now, with just one week to go until one of the Okanagan’s largest outdoor sidewalk sales, the Downtown Vernon Association office is a flurry of activity in preparation for the 18th Annual Sunshine Festival presented by Case Furniture Gallery. It’s downtown Vernon’s day in the sun with block after block of bargains, entertainment, children’s activities, outside street cafes, art and cultural performances and more. “With the very wet spring we’ve been having, we look forward to the sun shining for the Sunshine Festival,” said Holly Schmidt, events and marketing manager for the Downtown Vernon Association (DVA). “There will be even more activities and entertainment for you to enjoy while you’re down enjoying the sun in downtown Vernon. “We are excited to bring some of the favourites back while also adding quite a few new activities and entertainment.” The event will feature many vendors for the

If these lads look familiar, they should. They are the new cast of Showtime Australia’s Beatle Experience - Beatlemania on Tour, which comes to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre on June 17. Fiddler on the Roof, and Hamlet, and has sung in symphonic, madrigal, jazz and barbershop choirs. After his own band, The Down and Outs, dissolved in 2009, Gilmour started a tribute called Them Beatles, which also features Joe Kane, who plays McCartney, Craig McGown (George Harrison) and Grahame Critcher (Ringo Starr). When Showtime Australia approached the boys to become the new cast for The Beatles Experience, they couldn’t say no. They have so far toured South Africa and will head to New Zealand after this visit to Canada. “The four of us have been together for two-and-half years
now, though Joe and I were in a couple of bands before this. We’re now a tight unit. We started as a band and it has turned into a cast. We treat it like a Broadway show. It’s music not a film, but we want to be visually exciting and present it in that way. In the end, it’s still four people making good music.” The show follows The Beatles when they started off as ruffians playing dives in Hamburg and the Cavern Club in their hometown of Liverpool, then goes on to the screaming that was Beatlemania when the band first came to the U.S. to play Shea Stadium. “We also go into Sergeant Pepper psychedelia and when they
went into the studio to record Lady Madonna,” said Gilmour, adding the show ends in the same way The Beatles’ live performances did, with a reenactment of the famed rooftop performance on the Apple building in London. “We try to keep the show fresh by putting in some new songs with authentic costumes and instruments. We try to keep it interesting and accurate,” he said.

Writer tells personal story about doomed flight Morning Star Staff
Brendan Lillis, author of Atlin’s Anguish: Bush Pilot Theresa Bond and the Crash of Taku Air Flight 2653, will be signing copies of his book in Vernon, Saturday. Atlin’s Anguish is the story of Lillis’ sister, Theresa Bond, and the terrible accident that changed her life forever. On Sept. 27, 1986, Bond took her beloved de Havilland Beaver out on a routine flight with five passengers, leaving from Atlin, B.C. The Taku Air passenger list that day included local politician Al Passarell, his
wife, and three of Atlin’s most prominent citizens, including larger-than-life Atlin Inn owner Joe Florence. After an uneventful 80 minutes, the plane crossed the edge of Dease Lake, turned south and descended for landing. But something went tragically wrong in those last few minutes of Flight 2653. According to eyewitnesses, the Beaver nose-dived into the lake at full cruising speed. As the plane sank into the icy depths of the lake, only pilot Bond managed to escape. All five passengers drowned, and the
small town of Atlin was torn apart by the tragedy. Atlin’s Anguish is a brother’s dedicated and loving journey to understanding what happened that day on Dease Lake. Was it simply a lack of experience that caused Bond to lose control at such a crucial moment, or were there other circumstances that led to the crash of Flight 2653? Lillis will be at the Vernon Coles bookstore in the Village Green Centre to sign copes of Atlin’s Anguish, Saturday, June 16 from 1 to 3 p.m.

ertain stories get told repeatedly and there’s a reason for this, they’re good. The olde European folklore made famous by the Brothers Grimm continues to entertain us to this day. Our current example and second incarnation of the tale this year is Snow White and the Huntsman. This is a darker and more mature version of the story: An evil and powerful Queen usurps a throne, imprisoning the fair Princess. A kingdom turns to ruin. The Princess grows up, escapes and leads a rebellion against the Queen, but not before making new friends, finding her own power and falling in love. Can Snow White inspire her people and win back the throne? Can she even survive the magic and mystery of the Dark Forest? Can this film carry an epic treatment? We say, “It’s the best film about Snow White in the last seven weeks.” Mr. Howe was unable to attend this film, as he was held captive by seven dwarfs and I couldn’t afford the ransom. In his place I took my lovely wife, Dawn. TAYLOR: I was

It was dark, serious and set an appropriate tone for a tale of such grand scope. It’s a story of Taylor & Howe murder, power, greed, vanity, love, magic and death. The problem was one of casting, Snow White (Kristen Stewart) while not exactly ruining the movie, at the very least slows it down. This is supposed to be an epic adventure of extremely contrasted characters with emotional depth. Stewart fails to deliver the magic or the power that dwells inside Snow White.

DAWN: Chris Hemsworth (the Huntsman) was virtually indistinguishable from his Thor character, in terms of style. He runs around smashing things and has an accent. It’s not a bad performance, it’s just more of the same. TAYLOR: There were some great locations. Very moody and damp forests, the castle
on the ocean unfortunately the cinematography was lacking. For the first time in any movie I’ve reviewed, there were shots out of focus. Perhaps it was too misty. Also, some shaky camera syndrome in the battle scenes bothered me, as it always does. I presume this is to be expected in the Braveheart of Snow White stories. DAWN: The computer graphics were well done and believable. The transformation of actors such as Nick Frost and Ian McShane into the seven dwarfs was flawless. Magical forests, fairies and nasty beasts alike looked great and we’re treated somberly. This movie will satisfy serious fairy tale lovers. –– Taylor gives Snow White and the Huntsman 2.5 poison

Cod Gone Wild’s Roy Kawano, Chad “Rhino” Carter, Anjuli Otter, and Andrew Mercer end their Irish Pub Night tour with a show at Armstrong’s Royal York Golf Course club house, Friday.
Cods end tour in Armstrong Morning Star Staff
For the past few months, Vernon Celtic-Maritime band Cod Gone Wild has been immersed in beer drinking songs and kissing the cod. On the road the past few months in support of their new album, The Traveler, the band is returning to the North Okanagan with its Irish Pub Night tour. “We have chosen Armstrong as our final tour stop,” said lead Cod Andrew Mercer, adding the band will perform at the new Royal York Golf Course club house on Friday, June 15 to finish
up the tour. “This is a smaller venue and there are only a limited number of tickets available.” The show is modeled after the Irish Pub Night that Cod Gone Wild held during the Vernon Winter Carnival that was voted “Best Adult Event.” Tickets are available through the Royal York Golf Course at a cost of $20 each. The Royal York Club House will also be open for dinner that evening beginning at 5 p.m., with show time at 8 p.m. This is a 19-plus event.
Capsule Comments with
MARCIA BELEY We all know people for whom swearing is as natural as breathing. One of the side effects of this habit is a lower tolerance for pain. Pain can sometimes be unbearable but swearing at it will not help. Store bought prepared foods often have the highest sodium (salt) content. These include pizza, soups, bread, cold cuts and cured meats, prepared pasta dishes and prepared meat dishes. If you are trying to keep your salt intake down (1500 mg daily is a good goal), keep your intake of these food items to a minimum. Reading those nutrition labels will help you see how much each serving contains. After taking our medications, our bodies excrete what isn’t needed. Does it affect our water supply? Tests done in the U.S. Found that the concentrations of drugs in drinking water was at least 5 million times less than the therapeutic dose of any drug. So extremely minute amounts can be detected but pose no danger. There have been many claims made for taking apple cider vinegar. One claim that has been studied and has shown a bit of promise is that its use can lower blood glucose levels when taken with high carbohydrate meals. The dose studied was two tablespoons two to three times daily taken in a glass of water. There are so many home remedies out there. Some have merit while others have no real effect whatsoever.

K’NAAN in Kelowna Growing up, it was both the poetry and violence of his home country that informed musician/emcee K’NAAN Warsame, whose sophomore album Troubadour came out in February, 2009. The grandson of Haji Mohamed, one of Somalia’s most famous poets, and nephew of famed Somali singer Magool, K’NAAN is creating his own musical path through reggae, funk, pop, soul and, above all, hip-hop. K’NAAN, with opening act to be announced, performs July 12 at Kelowna Community Theatre. “I’m not interested in being mediocre,” declares the rapper. “If there’s not a necessity to what I’m doing, I just wouldn’t do it. If I don’t have something to add to the conversation, I’m just not gonna talk.” Tickets are available from 250-762-5050 or www.selectyourtickets. com with online sales continuing through June 9 (use code 2012) and general tickets going on sale June 10.

Study shows jobs down in Okanagan Morning Star Staff
A new report by the Chartered Accountants of B.C. indicates that in 2011, the Thompson-Okanagan region continued to grapple with the effects of the recession. According to B.C. Check-Up, the region’s job market contracted last year, and the value of both residential and non-residential building permits declined. “At this time, economic prospects for 2012 are cautiously optimistic,” said Karen Christiansen, with the CABC. “The region is working to secure its economic footing. We want to build momentum for a successful, long-term economic recovery.” The report found that after recording job growth in 2010, the Thompson-Okanagan’s economy contracted last year, declining by one per cent, or 2,500 jobs. While the service sector grew by 1,700 positions, this was not substantial enough to offset the 4,200 jobs lost in the goods sector. According to the report, in 2011, the annual average unemployment rate declined, reaching 7.9 per cent, well below its peak of 8.8 per cent in 2009. While the number of unemployed individuals actually grew in the region, 9,000 people left the labour market, resulting in an overall net decline in the unemployment rate. B.C. Check-Up found that after a modest recovery in 2010, the number of business incorporations in the region declined by four per cent last year, the largest decrease in the province.
MORNING STAR FILE PHOTO
Residential and non-residential building permits dropped in the Thompson-Okanagan in 2011. The value of both residential and nonresidential building permits was down 34.1 per cent and 2.1 per cent respectively. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the region
had 140 projects valued at $25.5 billion proposed, under construction, or on hold, a 16.1 per cent decrease from the same quarter of 2010.
While the value of new project proposals declined 32.6 per cent last year, the value of new projects starting construction was more than triple that of 2010. Nonresidential development represented much of the new construction, including $980 million in power projects and $277 million in transportation, school, and community infrastructure upgrades. “Last year, the number of business incorporations and establishments decreased. However, this doesn’t necessarily reflect a lack of entrepreneurial and investor confidence. Last year, the region saw a below average in-migration of retirees — many of whom establish either consulting firms or small businesses to augment their retirement income,” said Christiansen. “Looking ahead, as housing inventories draw down, a cautious return of residential and commercial investment and development will follow. Further, we are already seeing an increase in retail sales and building permits from the first quarter of 2012. These factors, combined with the continued success of the region’s service sector, bode well for the region’s economic improvement as it continues to gather momentum into the coming year.” The Thompson-Okanagan region comprises five regional districts, the OkanaganSimilkameen, Thompson-Nicola, Central Okanagan, North Okanagan and ColumbiaShuswap, and accounts for about 12 per cent of the provincial population.

Vernon SIFE students show savvy Morning Star Staff
ACE NATIONAL EXPOSITION PHOTO
Vernon’s Jonathan Gardner, a member of SIFE Okanagan, makes a presentation at the ACE National Exposition in Calgary.
A pair of Okanagan School of Business students flew to Calgary for the national SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) competition, and came back winners. Jonathan Gardner and Monika Jassi were among a contingent of students from all four Okanagan College campuses that competed in this year’s ACE (Advancing Canadian Entrepreneurship) National Exposition. Gardner was honoured along with his teammates with a top-five Monika Jassi national finish among 50 teams. He is in his final year of his Bachelor of Business degree and is the outgoing SIFE Okanagan vice-president for the Vernon campus. Jassi, a second-year business student majoring in
marketing, and her teammates claimed second place in the Capital One SIFE Financial Education Challenge, finishing behind Toronto’s Ryerson University. “I’m proud of the opportunity our students have to be a part of a challenge of this magnitude and to witness their accomplishments,” said Garth Maguire, faculty advisor and business professor at the Vernon campus. “Their commitment to their community, the skills they demonstrated, both on and off the national stage, as well as their achievements at the competition demonstrate the talents our students have developed through their business training and the SIFE program.” Since getting involved in SIFE Okanagan, Jassi has taken part as project manager of the Green Business Awards in the Vernon campus, as well as the Let’s Can Hunger project. She was honoured with the Top Executive Member of the Year for the Vernon campus.

Summit sips water award Morning Star Staff
The B.C. Water & Waste Association (BCWWA) presented the Okanagan Water Supply and Demand Project Partnership with the Excellence in the Water and Waste Community Award at its annual conference in Penticton. The award recognizes a group for advancing excellence in the water and waste community by demonstrating innovation and creativity in resolving water or waste issues in a community. Formed in 2006, the Okanagan partnership created the most detailed assessment ever conducted of water supply and demand in Western Canada. Brian Guy, vice-president and general manager of Vernon’s Summit Environmental Consultants, acted as the project manager and provided technical leadership to the partner-
ship’s working group. “It is an honour to be recognized as part of the project leadership team for our work in helping the Okanagan meet its water challenges,” said Guy. “The partnership’s impact in providing future direction for water policy and regulations through a clear vision will provide long-lasting benefits to the region.” The project’s data and models are being used in regional growth strategies, liquid waste management plans, water master plans and other complex studies and critical research. It has also led to the development of innovative applications, such as an online database and web tools, and contributed scientific insights towards a valleywide public communication program on water conservation.

An island full of family fun CHERIE THIESSEN Special To The Morning Star
CORTES ISLAND - A Klahoose elder tends hunks of sizzling salmon, slowly achieving perfection over an open beach fire. A growing lineup snakes down from the vendors’ stalls and the tables, where cooks reign supreme, their cuisine’s redolent aromas twisting through the amazingly patient queue. Locals know there will be lots to go around, but our hungry niece and nephew aren’t so certain. They need distraction, and fortunately there’s lots of that. My partner, David, leads them over to a somber youth dressed totally in black, who on cue rises solemnly from his box perch and begins meticulously to twist a rainbow spectrum of balloons into fantastic animals. Kristen Scholfield-Sweet is this year’s organizer: “This originally started about 20 years ago as a fundraising event to create public awareness and support for stopping the toxic discharge from area pulp mills into our local waters,” she says. “John and I are oyster growers. Our way of farming the sea is dying. We love what we do and want to share not just the good food we grow, but our island way of life.” The locals behind us cheerfully make room for the return of David, both children, and their balloon pets, and soon we’re eyeball-to-eyeball with

A visitor enjoys a raw oyster at beautiful Smelt Bay on Cortes Island. the oysters, cooked five ways. Folk guitar and vocalist entertainment by Andy Vine and his wife add to the festival’s atmosphere. Is that Brian Robertson’s When the tide goes out, the table is set I’m hearing? How appropriate. Most families might think twice before tackling remote Cortes Island on the long May weekend. From the Lower Mainland that’s three ferry trips, as well as a 284-kilometre drive up Vancouver Island from Sidney to the Quadra ferry terminal at Campbell River, or 153 kilometres from Nanaimo, but lured by rumors of a succulent seafood festival secreted away on this oyster fringed Discovery Island, we had to go. Scooping up my brother’s seafood-addicted children,
we chanced it, and were well rewarded. If you love seafood, and especially oysters, follow our oyster shells. Held on the Saturday of the Victoria Day weekend, the festival usually hums late into the evening, with ale and poetry at the cove, the popular nearby café, but with 10 and 12-yearolds to entertain, we have other fish to fry. We’re meeting the amiable Lynne Jordan at low tide at Manson’s Lagoon. A local resident who used to work at the Vancouver Aquarium, she volunteers to give guided tours of the lagoon, in return for donations to the local museum – money very well spent. What she knows keeps us all enthralled for hours. We hunt for moon snails,
we watch a feeding frenzy of local critters, we study clams, and we eat seaweed. Returning to our halcyon waterfront cottage, with the forest breathing behind us, and the sea and mountains of Desolation Sound stretching ahead, we learn that our hosts, Sandra and Philip Wood, have kayaks on offer. On Sunday, we opt to watch a little of the Ultimate Frisbee tournament at the local school, laughing at the contestants’ wild outfits and antics. Later, an excellent, nearby skateboard park provides an hour of fun for our charges, both of whom, having heard about Cortes’ excellent skateboard park, have hauled along their boards and helmets. While David and I nervously watch, they chug, roll, and fly with the locals. That night, our last, we head down to Smelt Bay to see the much-lauded sunset. Initially reluctant to leave our oceanfront retreat, our temporary family is soon combing the beach for agates, turning over rocks in search of life, and gathering wood for a large group of young locals who have invited us to share their fire. The sun goes down in orange splendor, accompanied by guitar strumming, and punctuated by charred marshmallows. Early Monday morning, we roll home, pronouncing the weekend perfect.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) One of your more attractive assets is your insatiable curiosity about almost everything, which is fine and good. However, if you ask too many probing questions, it might rub others the wrong way. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Immediately nip in the bud any misunderstanding that might arise between you and a close friend. Left unresolved, it could fester, get out of hand and leave a lasting scar. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) If someone you think very highly of disappoints you, don’t let it affect the friendship. No one is perfect, not even you, so be sure to turn the other cheek. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) When you resent being made to undertake a certain task, the results aren’t likely to be up to your usual standards. If you’re smart, you’ll put your heart in your work and keep your temperament out of it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Unless you’re extremely mindful of your social graces, you could easily do something that would be tasteless or offensive to others. Don’t let yourself make any egregious blunders. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You might have to use plenty of tolerance when dealing with family members, especially your mate, but it’ll be worth it. Even if you have plenty of ammunition, don’t fire it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) That critical eye of yours could be urging you to make comments to others that you should keep to
yourself. Even if you’re not obviously rude, don’t condemn others, even with faint praise. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Even though you could be rather lucky in many areas, your financial dealings aren’t likely to be among them. Be extremely careful in monetary transactions of all types. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Of course you have your rights, but so does everybody else. If you become too focused on your own affairs, it isn’t likely you’ll respect the interests of others. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Usually you are extremely practical and realistic about most things in life, but today you could find yourself getting emotional over the least little thing that doesn’t go your way. Get a grip. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) It’s fun to meet like-minded new people, but guard against an inclination to give preferential treatment to a fresh pal over your old friends. You’d be inviting trouble.
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.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder IT IS TIME TO THINK OUTSIDE THE DECK Cecil Beaton was an English fashion and portrait photographer who also won three Oscars for costume design and art direction on “Gigi” and “My Fair Lady.” He said, “Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers.” A few bridge players are like that, thinking outside the deck -- or box, if you prefer. They make bids and plays most of us never consider. Today’s deal is an example. South is in three no-trump. West leads his fourth-highest spade. How should declarer plan the play? South starts with four
top tricks: one spade, one heart and two clubs. The diamond suit will provide four more winners, but declarer still needs a ninth trick from somewhere. Obviously, if West has led from the spade king, playing low from the dummy and winning the first trick with his jack will give South an overtrick. With this layout, though, that line does not work so well. East wins with his king and, in desperation, shifts to the heart six. Then the defenders get five tricks: one spade, three hearts and one diamond. In theory, it is no better winning the first trick with dummy’s ace. When West gets in with his diamond ace, he defeats the contract by switching to a heart --
although that would not be an easy play to find. At trick one, declarer should call for dummy’s queen. If it wins, fine; the play costs only an overtrick. Here, though, East, never placing South with the spade jack, will surely win with his king and return the spade six. Then the contract is safe.

Douglas Victor Hartry With great sadness we announce the passing of our dear friend Douglas Victor Hartry (“Doug”), 1943 – 2012. “Way too sexy” for this planet, Doug passed on after a brief, albeit brave, battle with cancer. A cherished friend, Doug will be missed by many, including his adopted family the Clarks and his surviving brother Dick Hartry of Arizona. Doug’s career spanned many years working in the health care industry in BC and Ontario before luck would bring him to us here in Vernon in 2001 to work for the North Okanagan Health Region. Upon leaving NOHR Doug became the first Canadian owner of a Budget Blinds franchise and operated the company in Vernon until 2008, when he retired to take up cruising, cycling, lounging and work on his newfound appreciation for steak. Please join us in celebrating Doug’s life on Saturday June 16th at the Blue Heron Pub between 2:00 and 4:00. Come with your best stories, Doug loved a good party. A donation can be made in Doug’s memory to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation or to the Canadian Cancer Society.
