‘It was coming right towards me’ ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Ronald Cameron knows he’s lucky.

Had he not turned his head to the right while enjoying a break from a bike ride on a concrete bench at Marshall Field, Cameron might have been an on-the-ground victim of Saturday afternoon’s plane crash that killed pilot James Langley, 59, of Kelowna, and his passenger, Karim Makalai, 53, of Port Moody.

Makalai is believed to be Langley’s brotherin-law.

The pair were killed after Langley’s twin engine Piper PA-23 aircraft crashed into the popular Okanagan Landing soccer field, which neighbours Vernon Airport, shortly after takeoff, just after 1 p.m. The craft nearly hit the VantageOne Soccer Centre, at Marshall Field.

“The planes are flying out every 10-to-15minutes and they all have different sounds, you can hear them If it’s quiet and if you don’t hear them anymore, they’ve gone,” said Cameron, 60, who rode his bike from his downtown Vernon apartment to Okanagan Lake and had stopped at Marshall Field on his way home for a break.

He was just about to head home after nearly a 45-minute rest.

“This one, I didn’t see it as much as I heard it. It was really loud because it was so close. It got my attention.

“I looked to the right and it was coming right towards me, I don’t know, about 100 feet away and off the ground. I just froze. Then, after a couple of seconds, I ran into the soccer fields. Seconds later, it crashed.”

Langley’s plane clipped a tree, hit the very bench Cameron had been sitting on, and burst into flames.

Cameron said the plane “didn’t sound right, like it was sputtering,” and estimates if the pilot had any sort of control, he would have landed the aircraft on the “acres and acres of soccer grass.”

“It was listing to the left really bad,” said Cameron, who retired to Vernon six months ago after a 40-year career in Regina as a precast concrete employee. “To me, when it hit some little trees, it started on fire even before it hit the concrete bench. It looked like it was already on fire, but I don’t really know. I was running straight west into the soccer fields.”

Those soccer fields, from mid-April to midJune, are full of young soccer players, coaches,

officials, parents, relatives and friends at 1 p.m. every Saturday.

There had been a jamboree for players aged six and under just two weeks before.

With Marshall Field being void of soccer activity Saturday, Cameron decided to stop there instead of at a bench at Kin Beach on Okanagan Lake for his rest.

He said about 15-to-20 minutes before the crash, people had been coming in and out of the indoor soccer centre.

Cameron said he had trouble sleeping Saturday night, but was doing OK. “I’m just lucky and fortunate,” he said softly. “There was nothing I could have done.

I almost wanted to get on my bike and get out of there. You know there’s at least one person in the plane, but it was in flames.

“I feel bad about the fatalities.”

He was taken care of at the field Saturday by “a nice police officer,” who explained that his bike – knocked some distance from where it had been parked as a result of the plane’s impact – would have to be left there as evidence. The officer returned the bike, which needs some repairs, to Cameron Sunday night.

“It’s not severely damaged but I can’t even think about that, not with two people dead,” he said.

The B.C. Coroners Service, with the assistance of the RCMP and the Transportation Safety Board, is continuing to investigate the accident, which occurred after the plane stopped in Vernon for fuel.

“We know lots of what happened, when the aircraft took off, what direction, etc., but we don’t draw any conclusions from that until a thorough analysis is done,” said Bill Yearwood, regional manager for the TSB. “I have been to the site and examined the wreckage preliminarily, and I’m sharing that information with the other investigators.”

A burned-out building in Enderby is coming down.

The City of Enderby is preparing to demolish the Cliff Avenue bus depot, which was destroyed by fire April 1. “I am relieved for the neighbours who have been negatively impacted by this situation. They deserve better,� said Mayor Howie Cyr. The city had issued an order to the property owners giving them a fixed timeline to bring Howie Cyr the property into alignment with community standards. “In the absence of that compliance, the city has decided to undertake the work and bill the property owners accordingly,� said Cyr. A contractor is completing the necessary permits to begin the demolition work by July 16.

For Cyr, this action is positive for the community. “It is a testament to the determination of the City of Enderby to ensure that our downtown is and remains a vital, healthy, safe, and attractive place,� he said.

The 100-year-old building had also served as an opera house.

Soderquist also believes relocation of the library has made access by transit challenging. “Getting to the old library was fairly easy. Catch bus #4, get off across the street, all level ground, and when going home, you didn’t even have to cross the street,� she said. “Now, it means a bus to the new terminal, then a four-block walk and when you finally get there, you are faced with an uphill slope. Vernon is not pedestrian friendly and for the handicapped, it is a nightmare.�

Soderquist’s letter has been referred to the city’s accessibility committee for investigation. “We will look at transit routes and perhaps we can address some of the concerns,� said Coun. Juliette Cuningham.

Ministry wants piledriver gone RICHARD ROLKE

With jurisdictional matters resolved, the ministry is looking at issuing a trespass notice to the piledriver owner if they can be located.

“Ideally, we’d like the owner to deal with the vessel on their own,” said Tobin.

If that doesn’t occur, the ministry will remove the piledriver and pass the cost on to the owner if they can be located.

It could be about two weeks before the piledriver is pulled out of the lake.

There have been concerns about possible water contamination from oil or gas inside the machine.

Morning Star Staff

A piledriver may not be sinking in Kalamalka Lake for much longer.

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations will assess a piledriver that is submerged on the west side of the lake across from Rattlesnake Point. It’s been there since at least April.

“We’ve been aware of the situation for awhile and we’ve been struggling about what we can do,” said,” said Patrick Tobin, regional manager of compliance and enforcement.

“It’s been bouncing between us and Transportation Canada.”

Large crowds welcome Enderby market Morning Star Staff

Enderby’s new pedestrian market is a crowd favourite.

Hundreds of people stopped by Cliff Avenue for the inaugural market, which will be held Fridays during the summer.

“It was a great time and I had never been to one before,” said resident James Morley.

The market offers local produce, home baking, flowers, jewelry and more.

The goal of the market is to make people more aware of what downtown Enderby has to offer and it appears to be working.

“People stopped and wanted to see what was going on. They then discovered some stores that they did not know were there,” said resident Theresa Simpson.

Many Cliff Avenue businesses are taking part in the market.

“The crowds were out on mass

and more people walked our little downtown area than what we could have hoped for” said Melanie KingCampbell, with Mainstreet Pizza and Pasta.

“We definitely saw an influx of people on Cliff Avenue and foot traffic in our store,” added Judy Dangel, owner of Enderby Jewellers.

The market is part of the Enderby Vitalization Initiative, a program of the City of Enderby, the Enderby Chamber of Commerce, the Regional District of North Okanagan and the Splatsin First Nation.

The pedestrian market will be held Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Cliff Avenue will be closed to vehicular traffic from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. from George to Belvedere streets.

To learn more about the Enderby Vitalization Initiative, go to www. facebook.com/enderbydistrictvitalization or call Darren Robinson at 250-838-6727.

Four families, plus two more, may be getting their wish from Armstrong council.

City staff has prepared a text amendment to a general commercial (C.1) zone that would include single-family dwellings as a permitted use only on the six existing subject properties located on Patterson Avenue and Mill Street.

In February, four property owners expressed their concerns in a letter to council that if some disaster happened to their homes, they would

not be allowed to rebuild as the homes would be nonconforming in a commercial zone.

“If anyone’s house burns down to the ground we can’t rebuild on this land, and we can’t make any changes such as putting in a basement or another room,” wrote Cheryl Urquhart in a letter on the matter to council.

The city wrote letters to the four original property owners advising them that council would consider their request, then sent a letter to other non-conforming homes in the area, explaining council had received a petition for a zon-

ing change.

Two more properties – one on Patterson and one on Mill – joined the petition.

One other thing that will help the property owners if the application passes is their home insurance.

“We cannot buy regular house insurance,” wrote Urquhart. “We have to go to a non-conforming insurance which will double or even triple the amount we pay at the moment.”

Coun. Ryan Nitchie, chairperson of the city’s planning and development committee, introduced the text amendment application, saying it’s

something that should have been done a long time ago.

“The zoning was done a long time ago when the first official community plan draft was done, in the 1990s, I think,” said Nitchie.

“It probably should have been addressed at that time.

We’re now cleaning it up.”

Council unanimously gave first two readings to the application (Councillors Shirley Fowler and John Trainor were absent from the council meeting).

Council has announced that a public hearing on the application will be held Aug. 13.

Residents along the Shuswap River have received some good news.

The Regional District of the North Okanagan has rescinded the evacuation alert for the Shuswap River from Sugar to Mara lakes.

“The River Forecast Centre has also downgraded the advisory along the river as well,” said Gord Molendyk, with the local emergency response centre.

“The City of Enderby is also rescinding its alert along the

Emergency personnel would like to remind residents that while the alert has been rescinded, they should monitor the river regularly as it is still running high.

“It could remain that way for a bit longer with the hot weather causing the last of the snow melt,” said Molendyk.

Residents should be careful when involved in recreational activities on the river.

“The Tube Taxi company in Enderby has a warning on its website that it isn’t thinking of opening until at least late July,” said Molendyk.

“This is subject to the river dropping considerably. Private tubers should be aware that this is not a normal year and it’s likely the river won’t be safe to navigate for several weeks yet.”

Molendyk said there is a lot of debris in Mabel Lake that is still making its way into the river system, creating challenges for boaters and tubers.

O’Keefe Ranch plan needs more details RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Vernon politicians aren’t taking any immediate steps to stabilize O’Keefe Ranch’s fiscal struggles.

— Juliette Cunningham increasing attendance, including a chili cook-off, outdoor concerts, youth recreation programs, an ice cream station, a farmers market and a community garden.

It’s also been suggested that the

ranch manager be kept on over winter to focus on marketing and maintenance and that $20,000 a year be put into a reserve fund for capital improvements.

“It would be good to see a five-

year plan with some numbers. If there are recreation programs, how many kids would attend? How much revenue would be generated?” said Cunningham.

“I don’t feel this report satisfies those questions.”

Among the items city staff will look at is the condition of capital assets to determine if the proposed reserve fund is sufficient.

Administration will also consider whether O’Keefe Ranch should be part of an overall review of all city services.

It’s anticipated staff ’s findings will be presented to council in August or September.

The city-owned ranch currently receives $150,000 a year from Vernon council for operations.

It hasn’t been determined what would be needed to expand the manager’s position to year-round but Cunningham believes such a move could be beneficial.

“Winter is the time when marketing plans are made and you solicit usage (for the season),” she said.

Tip leads police to suspect ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

An alert resident phoned Vernon RCMP Sunday shortly after 11:30 p.m. to report he’d observed a woman breaking into his vehicle.

The incident occurred in the 6100 block of Tronson Road.

“The owner

described the woman as being about 20-to-30 years old, braided hair and wearing a camouflage hoodie,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.

Officers attended and found a woman, who Molendyk said is wellknown to police, riding a bike along Tronson Road.

She was wearing a camouflage hoodie.

The woman, 34, also had an outstanding warrant for break-andenter.

“She is now looking at charges of possession of stolen property,” said Molendyk, adding the woman was taken into custody. She was slated to appear in Vernon

Provincial Court Monday.

Molendyk said there has been a rash of theft from vehicles throughout Greater Vernon, and reminds motorists to remove their valuables from the car, or lock them away out of sight of would-be thieves.

Mum’s not the word

L

oose lips may sink ships, but the Vernon School District may be taking secrecy to the extreme.

With B.C.’s teachers having ratified a new contract, all eyes in the province turned to school boards to see if they would clinch labour peace or reignite a conflict that has impacted classrooms and families for months.

Trying to determine the Vernon district’s position was virtually impossible.

“We have given direction to Mr. (chairperson Bill) Turanski and he will do as we have asked,” said Richard Rolke Kelly Smith, board vicechairperson when asked if the district would vote for the deal.

The problem, apparently, was that local trustees made their decision in-camera. Under provincial legislation, the details of that meeting could not be disclosed because they had not been officially made public yet.

It should be pointed out that Smith did toss the media one bone. “It was a unanimous decision,” she said.

One could perhaps justify the secrecy because negotiations with the teachers were tense at the best of times, and any early indication that the deal may be going down would be catastrophic.

But for the zipped lips to continue even after B.C.’s school districts had cast ballots is absolutely baffling.

Turanski would not buckle. He did not have permission from his fellow trustees to spill the beans from an in-camera discussion and the signing of the agreement was an irrelevant point.

BEYOND THE HEADLINES

Perhaps as a way of working around the rules, Turanski cited a press release from the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association. It stated that, “Of the 85 per cent of total votes cast, 100 per cent were in favour of the agreement.”

Amen and hallelujah. We finally had an answer — the Vernon School District had voted yes.

Now we shouldn’t necessarily blame Turanski. Rules are rules and legislation insists that anything deemed in-camera (legal, labour and land matters) cannot be disclosed until it has been formally declassified by board members.

But nobody was going to toss the book at Turanski if he broke the code of silence. He wasn’t going to be fired simply because he told the media how he had voted.

The deed was done. Teachers had a contract and there was absolutely nothing to hide.

If anything, most people would have understood Turanski celebrating his board’s role in bringing a divisive labour dispute to an end (even if it’s temporary given that outstanding issues of wages, class size and composition are unresolved).

More importantly, residents of the Vernon School District have a right to know how their elected representatives acted on their behalf.

Transparency doesn’t mean just providing information, but doing it in a timely and efficient manner.

Given that the school board is now on summer hiatus and won’t meet until September, official disclosure of the trustees’ voting record is delayed.

Taxpayers shouldn’t have to relay on a wink and innuendo to know what their politicians did. It should be spelled out for the entire world to see.

The transit bubble appears to have burst.

After months of steady growth — including 39,217 riders in March — use has slowed in Vernon. There were 32,894 riders in April and 24,232 in May. While the first instinct is to overreact and spread doom and gloom, the situation shouldn’t surprise anyone. After all, the transit terminal recently moved from its traditional spot on Coldstream Avenue to 31st Avenue next to Cenotaph Park.

There is naturally going to be a transition as riders adjust to the new pick-up and drop-off downtown and their ability to get to work, go shopping or fulfill other commitments. Realistically, the move may mean some residents have to find other options to get around. Others, won’t be impacted at all.

Besides the new terminal, some routes have been adjusted as have hours of service.

Another factor impacting ridership is the relocation of Vernon’s library. A bus stop was located right in front of the old branch, making access extremely easy.

Now, a bit of a walk is required before a transit user can get to the new library on 30th Avenue.

The most responsible reaction from officials at this point is to review the April and May statistics but not make any rash decisions.

Two months of ridership figures are not sufficient to establish a trend.

Let’s see what happens over summer when people are looking to get to the beach or the movies, and then into fall when regular schedules for work and college resume. It could be that April and May were just a blip.

But if ridership continues to lag for the rest of the year, officials will have sufficient date to make the changes necessary to reverse the trend.

A lack of common sense

T

here’s always something in the news about illegal drugs and the struggle society is having with dealing with them. I said this 40 years ago and I’ve said it many times since, legalization is the only cure.

All of the money spent and pain caused by the war on drugs has netted us nothing but more of the same. When I go downtown here in little old Vernon, I see too many people strung out on drugs and/or alcohol.

Some are old, some are young, all are a burden on the taxpayer. They lead painfilled lives and often cause harm to others in their never-ending search for the means to their end, getting high. They beg on the street, they steal, they break and enter, they prostitute themselves, beat on one another and often unrelated others, sometimes bad enough to send them to the hospital. They get picked up by the police and ultimately go through the courts which costs we, the people.

Sometimes they’re sent to jail, adding even more to the bill. Usually jail time is fruitless and causes no change in these people. Most of them beg a modest or SURVEY SAYS As you may have heard or read, a large shopper survey was conducted at our Wesbild Centre market site. Many thanks to the more than 350 on-site, shoppers, who took time to participate.

Conducted by the B.C. Association of Farmers Markets with help from the University of Northern B.C., the primary purpose was to upgrade similar shopper and economic impact statistics originally collected five years ago.

The full results have not yet been published but from all indications, shopper visitations, corresponding expenditures and regional economic benefits have increased considerably.

Most of the printed survey inquiries were formulated by the provincial poll organizers but the Vernon Farmers Market was given an opportunity to pose one question of their own.

It read as follows…

sometimes, not so modest stipend from the government which, even when they have children, usually gets spent on more drugs.

It’s almost as if we are paying them to be drug addicts. It is a pitiful, sordid mess and still we perpetuate it. It’s like a silly soap opera which never ends and has no solution because the problems are the reason for the soap opera in the first place. There is absolutely no common sense at work here.

Every one of these people on the street area already hooked. They are already the

“The Vernon Farmers Market recently asked the regional district to consider funding approximately $300,000 worth of improvements to their Wesbild market site, including permanent washroom facilities, upgraded water and electrical service, a demonstration and stage area, park benches and hanging baskets."

Would this be a worthwhile expenditure of taxpayers' money?

Of the respondents, 78.3 per cent said yes.

Wayne Seabrook Vernon Farmers Market manager LACK OF COMMUNICATION It was a beautiful day, perfect to host and end-of-the-year field trip for the primary students of Oyama Traditional School.

problem. Legalization will not make a difference to them. All it will do is make them less of a menace.

Some will even work when they aren’t on the hunt for their drug of choice.

Furthermore, legalization will actually give us some power over the problem. Common sense tells me that once it’s out of the hands of the pushers, there will be no point in these people selling the product.

There will probably always be people that will use these substances. Some will

volunteers enjoyed a picnic lunch and at noon, we had reserved the water park to spend the afternoon.

Well to our surprise, there were maintenance crews working on the park.

The City of Vernon was contacted the night before to confirm our plans and apparently all systems were a go.

What I don't understand is why it took until 1 p.m. to get someone to turn on the water?

We called several times and were told that only one person had the power to turn it on.

So we waited for this magical person and we waited. We called again and were told they thought the water had been turned on and they were sent back.

You have 60 kids under the age 8 — kindergarten to Grade 3 — and you explain why their end of year trip is not happening.

What is with the lack of communication?

try them, use them for awhile then quit and move on to more substantial pursuits. Some will become habitual users.

Nobody knows who will go where with it, but obviously these drugs are here to stay.

Legalization won’t make them go away but we can save a whole lot of pain and money by allowing them easy access to a clean, reasonably priced product that would pay the government to produce. It's that sensible.

There is a hunger deep within our society that these substances address. This is what we need to look at. Let us stop fighting something that has come to stay and learn how to reduce its size and manage it rather than futilely trying to eradicate it. I'm positive that somewhere in here we would develop preventative power. We can learn the real reasons why people get hooked, then we could start addressing the root.

It is a huge problem and there aren’t any simple answers, but there are answers if we’re ready to look for something that will work. I truly believe that we, the people, could sort this out to the benefit of all concerned.

G. C. Robertson

Thank goodness for the irrigation crew, they were absolutely wonderful.

They turned on the sprinklers in the park for the kids to run through while we still waited for the water to be turned on.

One of the men on the irrigation crew took it upon himself to turn on the water for the kids. He and the rest of his co-workers were also in disbelief as to what we were experiencing.

Thank goodness he got that water going.

We enjoyed 30 minutes of playtime of what should have been a whole afternoon in the park before it was time to go home.

Luckily, we have a great group of kids and once the water was on they were very happy.

It is just so unfortunate that because of the city's disorganization and lack of communication, our kids had to pay the price.

RCMP officer in court for accused assault KATHY MICHAELS Black Press

Kelowna RCMP officer Const. Geoff Mantler was in court Monday to face one of the men who has accused him of assault.

Manjeet Singh Bhatti, 36, alleges he was victim of a surprise attack from Const. Mantler Aug. 30 2010, during the course of an arrest.

Charges were officially laid against Mantler, an Armstrong native, the following March, but until this week few details of the conflict were made public.

According to testimony offered in court, the Prince George resident, who was in Kelowna several times that summer to help a friend move to the city, had ridden a brokendown, borrowed bike downtown late that night to get the lay of the land.

In short order, Bhatti said he was buying two crack rocks for a grand total of $40 and smoking them with a woman he’d met earlier.

The last rock was smoked at about midnight, and within an hour the high had passed, and Bhatti was on the hunt for more.

“Up near the TD bank there were three people and I tried to buy some dope,” he said.

They lingered around the parking lot for a while, and then two of the group walked with Bhatti down an alleyway to make the transaction.

It was just after 1 a.m., when things

BLACK PRESS PHOTO

RCMP officer Geoff Mantler is alleged to have assaulted an individual during a 2010 arrest. went awry.

“I saw something suspicious … I thought I’d get robbed,” he said, noting he turned around on his bike and high-tailed it out of the alley.

Head down, pedalling as fast as he could, Bhatti said he passed a car and heard someone yell; “hey, stop.”

He testified that he didn’t want to stop while he was evading a potential robbery, and replied, “no, I’m driving to the store.”

He then hung a left and was on Harvey Avenue driving against traffic.

“Then I saw the red and blue lights,” he said. “I was using my feet on the ground to slow down… so I stopped.”

Mid-road, Bhatti got the bike to stop. It dropped to the ground between his legs and he lifted his arms into the air.

A police officer — who he identified as Mantler’s partner —

put his hands behind his back and brought him to the car in a “normal” fashion.

Bhatti, who is fivefoot-11 and at that time weighed under 120 lbs, was then cuffed and that police officer went to the bike from the road.

“About 10 to 15 seconds after the first cop left, I heard, ‘stomp, stomp, stomp,” Bhatti said, noting that’s how he became aware of Mantler.

“From the back of the car, he was moving fast… running. I turned my head to the right and I was hit with something.. a fist or an elbow.”

The hit was hard enough to shatter his glasses, and knock him to the ground.

Blood, he testified, was running down his nose and onto the ground. He claims the knock caused his eye to swell shut for the following four weeks, causing headaches and impacting his vision.

“I said nothing at the time, I was lying on the ground,” he said, noting he was “obeying orders.”

The other officer appeared, and helped Bhatti into the car and found him his glasses.

“The one who hit me (left) to see if I’d thrown something,” he said, noting that they claimed he’d ditched something during the pursuit, despite his assertions otherwise.

In the back of the car, Bhatti asked Mantler’s partner why he’d hit him and was told to ask Mantler when he got back.

“So I did ask him,” he said. “He said, ‘because you’re a stupid crack-head,’ and he kept calling me a ‘goof.’

‘Goof ’ this and ‘goof ’ that.”

Mantler, Bhatti testified, was noticeably angry.

Bhatti said he was in pain, and requested medical intervention for his injury, but it wasn’t forthcoming.

“I kept complaining,” he said.

Despite the arrest and brief stay in custody, no charges were laid. He left the detachment with $600 in fines, for things like not wearing a helmet.

The next day, he went for medical help at a local clinic, then returned to the detachment to make a statement about his injury.

RCMP Sgt. Wade Severson works for the branch of the local police detachment that deals with such issues,

and took Bhatti’s complaint that day.

Severson testified the impact of the hit to Bhatti’s eye was evident. He was clearly getting the early stages of a shiner by the time they met up nine hours later.

Although he took Bhatti’s statement, Severson left the file

for 30 days and it didn’t become a criminal matter until three months later.

Not long after that, Mantler made national headlines for allegedly booting a prone Buddy Tavares’ head on video, during the course of an arrest.

That matter will be in court in November. In the

interim, Tavares is keeping up with Mantler’s other legal woes, even going so far as to sit in on Monday’s testimony.

He said he’s been in contact with Bhatti, and they’ve talked about their respective “brutal” beatings.

The trial is expected to continue for one more day.

Labour dispute impacts libraries RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

The labour dispute at Okanagan Regional Library is heating up again.

Until Saturday, members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees will not be operating delivery vans.

“That will impact deliveries to the branches,” said Catherine Lord, an ORL director.

That means items requested by patrons will be delayed.

A similar action was taken by the union in early June as part of its dispute with ORL over wages and benefits.

Unionized staff has also not been collecting overdue fines and that will now also extend to fees for photocopying, promotional items (T-shirts) and facility rentals.

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Unionized workers at some library branches, including Cherryville, are not collecting fees.

Unionized branches affected by this job action include Cherryville, Falkland, Lake Country, Oyama and Vernon.

Powerhouse wins best play at Mainstage The Woman in Black sweeps up awards out of community theatres from around the province KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff

The cast and crew of Powerhouse Theatre now have a few bronze Thespians to go with their Woman in Black.

Vernon’s community theatre, representing the Okanagan Zone, took home seven bronze-cast sculptures, made by celebrated Kelowna artist Geert Maas, at Theatre BC’s Mainstage Festival in Kamloops Saturday.

Powerhouse not only won Best Production and Best Director for Matt Brown, but a number of technical awards for its ghostly thriller, written by Stephen Mallatratt.

The Woman in Black, which won Best Production at the Okanagan Zone (OZone) Drama Festival in May after it was staged in Vernon for a two-week run in April, competed against seven other winning plays from zones around the province.

“If there’s one thing aside from the awards and the appreciation we received, it’s how Powerhouse is kept in high regard by all circles,” said The Woman in Black’s winning director Brown. “They are known to have their stuff together, and gave us the tools and help to execute our play efficiently well.”

Powerhouse Theatre’s cast and crew celebrate after winning Best Production, Best Director, Best Properties, Best Technical Sound, Best Technical Lighting, Best Set Design, and Best Program at the Theatre BC Mainstage Festival.

That was the case as the awards came just after Brown and his cast, OZone award winning actors Burnet McLean and Chris Froese, and his crew staged the play in Vernon for a

two-night fundraiser at Powerhouse, held July 3 and 4.

The next day, the crew packed the sets, costumes, props and everything else to

transfer the play to Kamloops’ Sagebrush Theatre, where it was presented on Friday to an audience and adjudicator.

“When we went to Kamloops, it was hold your breath and triple check everything.

The effects and everything else pretty much went without any hitches,” said Brown. “Out of the few shows I saw, a few things happened, and then there were a few ‘whoas.’

When you transfer a show, there is always a margin of error.”

Adjudicating the eight-day festival was musical theatre veteran Jeff Hyslop, who addressed the audience after each play was staged and then gathered the cast and crew the next day for a coffee critique.

“I’ve been going through adjudication since I was eight, and I’ve never had someone that gracious,” said Brown. “... In a nutshell, he got and up and said (The Woman in Black) was mesmerizing, seamless and powerful... Everyone’s jaw was on the ground.

He also said that after two minutes into the show, he basically closed his notebook and watched the play.”

And the accolades continued at the awards ceremony, when Powerhouse also picked up Thespians for Best Properties, awarded to Jean Given, and Best Technical Sound for Bob Oldfield, as well as Best Program.

Powerhouse newcomer Jessika LaFramboise, who is a graduate of W.L. Seaton Secondary School’s renowned drama program and recently moved back to Vernon, won two awards for Best Technical Lighting and Best Set Design.

Need for salmon passage spawns festival in Lumby Morning Star Staff

The festival spawning from the need to build a fish passage at Lumby’s Wilsey Dam at Shuswap Falls is returning for a third year.

“Wild salmon have a history in our valley and this festival aims to raise awareness about enhancing their future and returning them to our streams and rivers for spawning above the dam,” said Wild Salmon Festival producer Randy Rauck. “Building a fish passage around Wilsey Dam will enable the salmon to return to the Cherryville area for spawning as they did before the dam was built.”

Taking place at Lumby’s Community Park July 27 to 29, the festival will feature live music by local acts such as Cod Gone Wild, The Young’uns, Crossfire, Wheelhouse, The John Noren Band, Linda Sue Wilson Band, Ash, Incanto, Gallon’s Corner and many others. The Lumby Lions will be hosting a beer gardens as well this year, and art vendors, salmon education and more will part of the festivities.

“We hope the community will get behind this festival.

From buying a ticket and attending, to volunteering, or making a donation, it all helps organizers to be able to keep this festival in Lumby,” said Rauck, adding organizers also appreciate the support of the B.C. Arts Council, White Valley Parks Recreation and Culture, the Monashee Arts Council, and all of the sponsors for their donations of funding, supplies, and time.

“This festival will create more positive awareness about our local wild salmon, and we encourage the entire community to participate in a number of ways. Local businesses can decorate their windows or offer a special salmon-related product or service. We’re asking all the local food and art vendors who will be at the festival to create a salmon special or design to tie into the theme. Of course, we will continue with our very popular education sessions about the salmon, and are planning a group walk of the Salmon Trail Saturday and Sunday, as part of our festivities.”

Wilsey dam was constructed in 1929 by the West Canadian Hydro Electric Corporation (now part of BC

easy

Hydro), with the recommendation that a fish passage be constructed to allow the chinook, sockeye and coho salmon to gain access to 30-kilometres of pristine spawning area above the dam.

The Shuswap Falls turbines provided power to most of the North Okanagan area in past times Historically, these spawning grounds were an important spiritual and cultural site. Okanagan Nation Grand Chief Stewart Philip has been quoted as saying, “We want to see the salmon and the habitats restored so we can enjoy a healthy fishery once again.”

Proceeds from the festival will be donated to the Middle Shuswap Wild Salmon Society. Memberships to the society will be available for purchase during the festival, and information on the society’s goals and mission is available at www.wildsalmonsociety.com.

Advance tickets for the third annual Wild Salmon Festival are available at the Monashee Arts Council office in Lumby or online at www.wildsalmonfest.com. Cost is $30 for a weekend pass.

Armstrong’s Memorial Park is once again about to fill up with families and friends as Music in the Park features Rob Dinwoodie on Friday.

A singer-songwriter of contemporary cowboy songs, Dinwoodie’s style is found somewhere in the realm of roots, country, western swing and folk. Whatever the style, he’s true to the art of ballads in telling a story of the west, old and new.

His songwriting has spanned more than 30 years with four albums and many more songs ready for the studio, and he has entertained for more than two decades to western fans at festivals, the Calgary Stampede, and most recently hosting the Cowboy Dinner Show at the Historic O’Keefe Ranch.

Dinwoodie’s last recording, Hands Up, is a tribute to some of the historical figures and stories from the B.C. west. The title track is about the notorious stagecoach and later train robber Billy Miner.

Songs such as the epic Val Haynes tells of the early days of cowboying in the Okanagan, where cattle first found grass on the trail to the Cariboo gold rush. There’s also the story of the longest running stagecoach line in the world, with its headquarters in Vernon, in the song BX Express.

Those taking in Music in the Park, which starts at 7 p.m., can bring a blanket, chairs, and a picnic and enjoy this free community activity, which is part of the summer Music in the Park event in Armstrong-Spallumcheen.

She’s gone from dancing with some of the top ballet companies to tripping the light fantastic on the dance floor like some of her heroes.

Beverley Matson Roberts still finds the time to travel the world to share her love of dance, and she is coming to Vernon to visit family and also share her expertise with both dancers and instructors.

“Dancing is always changing. Fads come and go, but knowing a large vocabulary of basic dance steps in diverse forms of dance will soar you to the top in both stage and competition,” said Roberts, who in the past two years has left her home base in Vancouver and has travelled to New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, London and Paris.

Roberts has 50 years of dance history behind her, starting with ballet in the Russian technique, then on to the Cecchetti method and exams, and ending with learning the Royal Ballet exams.

She has been a ballet adjudicator in Vancouver for many instudio exams.

After dancing as a soloist for New York Ballet (Ballanchine) and San Francisco Opera Ballet (Nico Charisse) in the early 1960s, Roberts settled into teaching and began expanding her dance repertoire to include jazz, tap, clogging, Riverdance, and many folk dances, including Spanish.

She has also performed as a dancer in movies and TV and on such stages as the Hollywood Bowl during

Powell, Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron, Cid Charisse, Ann Miller not to mention all the others. This was my era. I know the steps,” she said.

Roberts is in Vernon for the next three weeks (July 9 to 23) visiting her daughter and son-in-law, Eli and Adrian KnoxWilson, and is willing to be available to the teachers and dancers to share her expertise with them at their request. She will then return to Vancouver for prior booked appointments.

For more information or to set up a lesson while Roberts is in town, phone 250-545-8270 or e-mail kw3061@telus.net.

Her prowess in the dancing field has opened up many opportunities to choreograph for TV, stage and screen.

Roberts says she is amazed that she can still invoke a standing ovation for her stage performances.

“I credit it to the fact that many of the dance steps used in great musicals of the past have been lost in this generation.

Teachers have started teaching at a very young age, before amassing a large, diverse dance repertoire. Audiences remember such talented dancers on the screen as Fred Astaire, Eleanor

that will take them on mostly rural roads through Armstrong and Salmon Arm to Eagle Bay Camp on the shores of Shuswap Lake. After overnighting at the camp, riders return to Dutch’s via Silver Creek and O’Keefe Ranch.

Dave and Deb first heard about Wellspring in the spring of 2008. A friend, Craig Fleischhacker, asked them to participate in acquiring building materials for the Wellspring Academy, a K-12 school being built in Kigali, Rwanda.

“We have a sawmill (North Enderby Timber),” said Dave, “so we had an ‘in’ for buying building materials.

To begin with, we investigated how to obtain a sea-going container. We found a willing donor in Barry Siebenga of Big Steel Box out of Salmon Arm, who gave us a 40-foot container.

“We had a lot of fun going out and talking to people. Nearly everyone we approached said they would love to put something into the container that would help the people of Rwanda accomplish building the school.”

In the fall,after the container doors were closed and it left their property, the Poggemoellers started talking about taking their three children on an adventure. The plan was to go to Rwanda, hopefully meet the container on its arrival into the country, help unload it and perhaps do some work on the school site itself.

“We wanted to see the project first-hand and try and discover what other needs they might have and what use we could be,” said Dave.

Unfortunately, they were not able to greet the container but they stayed on the school site, spent time with children in their classrooms, did some touring and fell in love with the country and its people.

After returning from Rwanda, Dave and Deb have been involved in helping raise more than $300,000 from the Vernon area for the school building project and Wellspring’s teacher training program.

“Since visiting, we know we want to continue supporting the people of Rwanda in some way or another. Although

Dave and Deb Poggemoeller are busy training for the Lake2Lake Ride for Rwanda, taking place Sept. 29 and 30. we are worlds apart, they are still our neighbours and what we can do here can certainly help them there,” said Dave.

“We want to be a part of finishing the school and supporting the public teacher training so kids can learn to not only make good decisions in life, but to build on what they have to make a better future for themselves and their country.”

One way the Poggemoellers have chosen to continue to be involved is through the Lake2Lake bike ride.

“At first, we thought the distance was over-

whelming, so we planned to do the ride as a relay with another couple,” said Deb. “However, once we got out riding on a regular basis our confidence grew, and by the week prior to the event, we all decided to ride the entire distance — and we all finished!

“If anyone would like to challenge oneself while experiencing how beautiful our area is, meet new people and have a lot of fun, we recommend this ride. There is support along the route, so if you find you need a lift part of the way, it is available. Participants range

from serious roadies to rank beginners like us.

I have just retired from soccer and have taken up cycling in its place. It is great for maintaining fitness and is a little easier on the knees.”

Riders can earn a Team Wellspring jersey or ride for free by collecting pledges in support of Wellspring.

Volunteers are also needed for ride support. To register, visit www.lake2lake.org or call Shirley at 250-5420398. For more information on Wellspring, see www.thewellspringfoundation.com.

Dealing with earwigs naturally

A

fter my last gardening column about earwigs, I got a few calls from people wanting to know how to get rid of them. I went looking in my books and on the Internet and I found a few tips which may help some of you. Don't give up if it doesn't work the first night.

Take a small water bottle, cut the top one-third off or so, fill the bottle with tuna or tuna cat food, invert the top part that you cut off with the spout Jocelyne Sewell facing down and reattach it to the bottle. The earwigs can crawl in, and are attracted by the smell of food, but won't be able to get out again.

It seems like an easy, non-toxic method that's worth a try.

Beer traps! You dig a shallow depression in the soil for a small saucer so that the edge of the saucer is level with the soil surface. Pour in about 1/2 inch beer.

Change nightly. Fresh beer seems to catch more than old beer.

This one uses tuna cans filled with 25

A GARDENER’S DIARY

per cent soya sauce to 75 per cent water in the “tuna” can. This one works great according to many comments. You only need a small amount in the bottom of the can, maybe 1/2 inch. Keep the unused portion in the fridge.

Another is pieces of hose, about two feet long. Make sure the inside is wet — if it's dry, you won't get as many. Next morning just take a bucket of soapy water and knock the pieces of hose against it and they will fall into the soapy water. Just check the roadside for people throwing out old hoses on garbage day if you don't have an old one. (This one I have used with success.)

Simply take an old newspaper and roll it up loosely, securing it with a rubber band. Soak the newspaper completely in water, but not too much to make it fall apart. Plant the newspaper where you have observed earwigs. Leave overnight.

Earwigs will have made their home in a newspaper and when they do, put the newspapers (now with the earwigs in them) in a plastic bag, sealing the bag tightly. Throw it in the garbage bin.

Whatever you do, do not use it for compost. You can also shake it over the soapy water bucket.

Slug dough recipe which also work for earwigs: 1 Tbsp. molasses, 3 Tbsp. cornmeal, 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 Tbsp. yeast. Let it foam up for a few hours, then put it out in tuna cans, about 1/2 inch per can, in the garden.

Use 1/2 inch of used vegetable oil Leave the can where earwigs have been observed but where it cannot be accidentally kicked over. You can even put a slice of apple inside to make the trap look more attractive to earwigs. Leave overnight, and the next day, you will see that earwigs have made their way into the can and drowned Earwigs hate bay leaves. Sprinkle them around your home.

I have earwig traps, which are little round containers with a bottom and a top with three small holes on the top for them to crawl in. To bait them, you half fill with water, add 1 Tbsp. of vegetable oil, five drops of liquid dish soap and one of the following: three drops fish lure attractant, three drops of cod liver oil, a small piece of fruit.

The next gardening column will be written by Gail Morgan of BX Creek Daylilies.

Fresh raspberries have arrived

W

ith the next three weeks full of different family and friends — company’s coming! — I’m trying to get a few dishes ready ahead and into the freezer. My hope is that the weather will continue to be summer... as kids will be camping on my lawn in tents.

Here’s hoping your summer is going well and that it has its highlights and laughs, too.

A quick trip to the Farmers’ Market Monday morning brought many wonderful sights and smells of fresh fruits to my soul. Raspberries are now in season. These fragrant and delicious berries are an excellent source of fiber, manganese and Cathi Litzenberger vitamin C; a good source of vitamin K, folate, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, copper, vitamin E, and potassium. To top all that off, raspberries also contain significant amounts of anti-cancer phytochemical ellagic acid.

Raspberries are a very versatile fruit and can be used in baking, ice creams, yogurts, sundaes, salads, sauces and so much more.

Today’s recipes include a delicious dessert that uses both frozen and fresh raspberries, perfect for any special dinner or dessert party this summer. The second recipe combines sweet and spicy pecans with sweet berries into an amazing chicken salad, perfect for any luncheon with the ladies.

Fresh Raspberry Cream Cheese Pie Crust: 1-1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs 1/3 cup butter, melted 1/4 cup sugar Filling: 1 (10-ounce) pkg. frozen raspberries in syrup, thawed

KITCHEN WIT & WISDOM

1/4 cup water 1 (1/4-ounce) envelope unflavoured gelatin 1/4 cup sugar 2 tbsp. raspberry-flavoured liqueur or water 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese or light cream cheese 1 cup whipping cream, whipped 2 (6-ounce) containers fresh raspberries, washed, drained, reserve 1/2 cup* Heat oven to 350 F. Combine all crust ingredients in medium bowl. Press onto bottom and up sides of ungreased 9-inch pie pan.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely.

Place thawed raspberries in syrup in 5-cup blender container or food processor bowl fitted with metal blade.

Cover; blend at high speed until purĂŠed (1 minute). Strain sauce to remove seeds.

Place water in 1-quart saucepan; sprinkle with gelatin.

Let stand 5 minutes to soften. Cook over low heat until gelatin is dissolved (1 to 2 minutes). Remove from heat; stir in raspberry purĂŠe, 1/4 cup sugar and liqueur. Cover; refrigerate until mixture mounds when dropped from spoon (30 to 40 minutes).

Beat powdered sugar and cream cheese in small bowl until smooth. Gently stir in 1 cup whipped cream. Spread cream cheese mixture into cooled crust. Arrange fresh raspberries over cream cheese mixture. Pour gelatin mixture over raspberries, spreading to cover. Cover; refrigerate until gelatin is set (2 to 3 hours).

Just before serving, dollop remaining whipped cream onto pie. Garnish with reserved fresh raspberries. *You can substitute 2 cups individually frozen raspberries.

Chicken Pecan Salad 2 tbsp. hot red pepper sauce (or to taste) 1/2 cup margarine, melted 2/3 cup brown sugar 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 pinch salt 1 pound coarsely chopped pecans 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon Greek seasoning 1 pound romaine lettuce, torn 1 cup cherry tomato halves 1/2 cup fresh strawberries 1/2 cup seedless grapes 1/4 cup fresh raspberries 1/4 cup fresh blueberries 1/2 cup honey mustard salad dressing Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a bowl, mix the hot red pepper sauce, margarine, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and salt. Mix the pecans into bowl, tossing to coat evenly. Spread pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes in the preheated oven, stirring often and watching carefully, until lightly browned. Remove from heat, and set aside.

Rub chicken with olive oil, place on baking sheet, and sprinkle with Greek seasoning. Bake 20 minutes or until juices run clear. Slice into strips.

In salad bowl, toss together romaine lettuce, chicken strips, cherry tomato halves, strawberries, grapes, raspberries and blueberries. Sprinkle with pecans, drizzle with dressing.

Sekoija Spencer, a Falkland Elementary student, won first place in the FORED BC Traditional Knowledge and Medicine-themed poster contest.

This annual poster contest celebrates the rich cultural and heritage traditions of B.C.’s aboriginal people.

Each year, FORED provides cash prizes to aboriginal youth in primary, intermediate and secondary grade levels.

Spencer was awarded a $50 prize for first place in the primary division, along with intermediate winners Tiffany Pootlass and Lori Saunders (Bella Coola) and secondary winner Preston Squinas (Burns Lake).

“But more important than the cash prize, is that youths are learning from their elders about their own traditional knowledge, often used in healing and land stewardship,” said FORED program director Cheryl Ziola.

“If we don’t make an effort to preserve all that knowledge in some kind of written and artistic form, it may be lost forever.”

Dog walkers can keep community safe Morning Star Staff

Dog walkers have a chance to help out the RCMP thanks to a new initiative.

Pooches On Patrol (POP) is the work of the Vernon RCMP Community Policing Office, and gives dog owners the opportunity

to be a part of making the community a safer place to be.

“Dog walkers know their neighbourhood and are more likely to notice when something is not quite right,” said Rachael Zubick, coordinator for the community policing office.

“POP gives dog walkers the tools they need to actively participate in keeping their neighbourhoods safer by acting as eyes and ears for their community.

Many dog walkers commonly see drug transactions, fresh tags and unwanted graf-

fiti or other suspicious activities in their neighbourhods.

POP encourages dog owners to be on the lookout for suspicious activity and report what they see.

“A few will call in and pass on that information to our office or the police, but often these observations go unreported as many don’t know what to do or don’t realize what they just saw,” said Zubick.

“Observe it, note it, report it. That’s it.”

Gas tax revenue is being pumped into the North Okanagan’s rural communities.

The Electoral Area Advisory Committee has decided to provide a portion of its Community Works Fund to four different initiatives.

“They are all excellent projects,” said director Jackie Pearase.

Among the grants is up to $23,060 for a new heating system at the Grandview Bench Hall, near Enderby.

There will also be $22,888 for a new heating system at the Riverside Community Hall in Ashton Creek.

Association looking for new members ANDRE LODDER Morning Star Staff

New memberships at the North Okanagan Sailing Association have seen some rough waters in the last few years.

The economy is partly to blame for the drop in numbers, but NOSA also believes the unfamiliarity of the sport plays a major role in the lack of new families joining.

“It’s getting people over the threshold of stepping into a boat and being dependant on the wind,” said Marc Reinarz, director of marketing at NOSA. “That is why a bit of training is good, but once they get comfortable with it they take off, we can’t keep them off the boats.”

The decrease in numbers isn’t a result of members losing interest. The issue is attracting new members to the sport.

“Our problem lately is that we tend to get a lot of people who have been doing this for a long time, we’re not getting a lot of new families,” said commodore John Holmwood.

The result is a strong core of members who are passionate about the sport and love sailing, but in order to keep NOSA afloat it relies on new families, specifically younger families with children.

With the recent economy, getting younger families to join has proven difficult. However, the belief that sailing is expensive is a common misconception.

“Everyone uses it as an excuse, people

Boats pass by Paddlewheel Park, the home of the North Okanagan Sailing Association. The association will hold its first armada of the season Sunday. don’t care for spending the money on sailing not realizing how cheap it really is to sail,”

said Reinarz.

A yearly membership at NOSA is only

$280 per family and only $250 if you register before the May deadline.

In addition, members can receive up to $100 in rebates with a few volunteering efforts, making sailing a relatively inexpensive summer activity.

Purchasing a boat can be expensive, but NOSA has a program in place that allows members the use of any of the club boats at a small yearly fee.

“You don’t have to put out the outlay of buying a boat for yourself, you can come down and use these ones. We’ve got small boats, big boats and the catamaran,” said Holmwood.

The program allows users to test each type of boat and help decide what type of sailing they might be interested in pursuing.

NOSA events include regattas, weekly races and the recently introduced armadas.

The first armada for this year is coming up on Sunday, with the second scheduled for mid-August.

The instructors are also hoping to draw attention to the possibility of a racing team.

“It’s hard to articulate all of the advantages, all of the things we have to offer,” said Holmwood.

“People see a note that says come join the sailing club and think, ‘I don’t have a sail,’ well that’s not necessarily an issue.”

For more information, or if you would like to become a member, visit www.nosa. bc.ca or call 250-260-4255.

U14 girls strike provincial bronze Morning Star Staff

Vernon United outlasted Tsawwassen 1-0 in extra time to secure bronze at the B.C. Under 14 Girls B Soccer Championships Sunday in Kelowna.

United showed up for the bronze-medal game relaxed, but ready to go. Neither team was able to solve the opposing defence, leaving it scoreless at the break. In the second half, Vernon appeared to score on a three-way passing play, but it was deemed offside.

Still scoreless after regulation, the teams began the first of two 10-minute overtime halves. Vernon’s hard work finally paid off when Reyhanna Akkurt slipped her check and crossed a ball for Cayleigh Graham to head home for the winner. The girls didn’t let the excitement affect their game, which allowed them to hang on for the win.

United keeper Jordynne Tomiak earned the shutout, allowing just two goals all tournament and distributing some nice drop kicks to push the play forward.

Kailyn Halvorson showed a lot of dedication to making the play and getting the ball through.

“The entire team showed up to play, brought their A-game and did whatever it took to make it happen,” said United coach Brett Bandy. “Well done and a big improvement on everyone’s skill. It was a very successful and fun season.”

United opened provincials Thursday with a 6-0 shellacking of Terrace.

It didn’t take long for Vernon to capitalize on a wellplaced cross from Siena Nash for Akkurt to redirect past the helpless Terrace keeper. Akkurt wheeled past a couple defenders for her second tally, making it 2-0 at the break.

In the second half, Maddie Laranjo capitalized on a sloppy Terrace breakout to bury Vernon’s third goal. She added her second goal on an aggressive offensive push, putting the ball just over the keeper.

Graham, connecting on a beautiful header from the side of the net, Emilee Kronbauer, on a redirection, completed the onslaught.

“The whole team was hungry to start off with a win and their strong and flawless play let them do that with ease,” said Bandy.

On Friday, United bowed 1-0 to Powell River.

Both teams played it tight in the first half, which ended scoreless, but things started to open up a bit after the intermission. Powell River capitalized when the Vernon defenders were unable to clear a corner.

United’s Lydia Wood was a brick wall, showing great composure and finishing her checks. Maya Bandy broke up a lot of midfield pushes and won a lot of 50-50 balls.

Vernon advanced to the bronze-medal game with a 2-1 win over host Kelowna.

Both sides went back and forth in the early going, but Vernon struck first when Akkurt ran onto her own through

With United buzzing to start the second half, Laranjo battled to push a ball through for Akkurt to finish with a nice, low kick to make it 2-0.

Kronbauer placed one just over the net from a wellplayed header, and Kara Ross put on a ball control clinic, showing great work ethic. Kate Healy was a force on her side of the field, taking on all comers.

United boys bank U15 bronze At the U15 Boys Rep Championships in Aldergrove, Vernon United claimed bronze with a 3-2 win over Victoria’s Prospect Lake Soccer Club.

United rushed out to a 3-0 lead by the 30-minute mark, however, Prospect Lake never gave up and cut into Vernon’s lead late in the half. Prospect Lake scored again early in the second half to make the game close.

Cole Woodliffe supplied two of Vernon’s goals, assists going to Bryce Dyck and Jorden Dewing. Zac Kronbauer, from Kody Glinsbockel and Matthew Kreutz, had the other marker.

Vernon started the eight-team tournament with a dominating 3-0 win over the north coast champion Terrace Kermodes Thursday afternoon.

Kreutz opened the scoring at the 21-minute mark, assists to Dyck and Shane Groeneveld. Just before half time, Woodliffe converted a Liam Ross pass to

make it 2-0.

The United boys continued to press after the break, and had numerous scoring chances, including a bullet from Cameron Hitch that rang the crossbar. Ross, from Kreutz and Woodliffe, capped the scoring with five minutes to go.

Goaltender Cole Shoemaker was stellar in the shutout.

Friday afternoon, Vernon bowed 5-0 to the powerful Central City Breakers Elite team from Surrey.

Central City scored just five minutes in, which seemed to rattle United. At the 10-minute mark, the Breakers doubled the score on a Vernon own goal off a corner kick. They benefitted from a second own goal just six minutes after that.

The Vernon squad settled down and held its own, but Central City managed to put another two goals past Shoemaker.

Saturday didn’t go much better for United, who bowed 1-0 to the host Chilliwack Attack.

United, playing without defender Dewing and striker Michael Williamson, outplayed Chilliwack, but were unable to find the net.

Chilliwack capitalized on a penalty kick after an inadvertent Kreutz handball in the Vernon box.

Jeff Hiscoe played a strong game in the Vernon net.

This was United’s second straight B.C. berth. They are coached by Mike Melbourne and Terry Eddy, and managed by Gerry Strand. Other players include defenders Jason Reich, Isaiah Wenger and Chase Larsen; midfielders Brandon Melbourne and Ryan Killingsworth; and forward Michael Williamson.

Diamondbacks swing first win Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Diamondbacks went 1-1 in a North Vancouver senior men’s baseball tournament last weekend, missing the playoffs by a mere two runs in tie-breaker rules.

Jason Nazar was dominant on the mound as the D-backs doubled the North Shore A’s 6-3 in their opener. He went all seven innings, giving up three runs on six hits, while walking three and striking out nine to help his club earn its first win of the season.

Jason Webster led Vernon’s bats with a double and two RBI, Gary Ortman smacked an RBI and scored a run and Nazar had a ribbie.

Adam Nairne recorded a double, and later scored thanks to some aggressive base running on a routine ground ball that took a funny hop and

ended up in right field. Veteran Aaron Himelson also had a pair of hits, a walk and two runs scored.

In their second game, the Diamondbacks hung starter Mike Patitucci out to dry in an 11-3 loss to the Vancouver Brewers.

Patitucci allowed eight unearned runs in the first inning thanks to six errors. Jared Sochan pitched three solid innings of relief, giving up three runs (one earned), while fanning four.

The Vernon bats only mustered four hits, but added four stolen bases, one each from Nairne, Sochan, Tyler Gertzen and CJ Galozo.

The Diamondbacks now travel to Trail where they continue the best-of-five series with the Orioles for a berth to westerns. The Diamondbacks are down 2-0 in the series.

Rocks and Raiders rematch for Cup Kelowna sweeps Vernon Tigers in semi Morning Star Staff

The Armstrong Shamrocks will look to write a different ending as they take on the Kelowna Raiders in a rematch of last year’s Shaw Cup Senior C men’s lacrosse final.

The Raiders, winners of the Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League regularseason pennant, snatched last year’s Cup with a third-period comeback win against the Rocks in Game 3.

Kelowna holds home-floor advantage in the best-of-three set, but can’t secure a booking at Memorial Arena until Monday night (7:30 p.m.). Game 2 is tentatively set for the same time Wednesday, July 18 at the Nor-Val Sports Centre.

The Rocks advanced to this year’s final by sweeping the Kamloops Rattlers in a best-ofthree semifinal, while the Raiders completed a sweep of the Vernon Tigers with a 16-11 win in Game 2 of their semifinal Saturday night in a muggy Wesbild Centre.

Despite rolling with just 10 runners, Vernon managed to create some offence, led

by Robbie Short’s four goals and four assists.

Brennan Plante added 3+1, captain Kirk Krause netted 2+5 and Andrew Hamilton and Amrit Dhoot each supplied a goal and an assist.

Gord Schnare and goalie Ivor Sandaker chipped in with helpers.

Kelowna captain Jacob Illichmann led the Raiders with a stellar three-goal, eight-assist showing. Junior call-up Scott Renner fired four goals, Joe Brown recorded 2+5, Pho Heng had 2+2 and Taylor Trotter had 2+1.

Luke Bailey added four assists in support of netminder Graham Cousins.

Armstrong and Kelowna split their regular-season series 2-2. Towering Shamrock keeper Chad Pieper says if his team can maintain discipline, they will have a shot at dethroning the champs.

“We handed Kelowna a couple losses early in the year, but we had a few setbacks during our season with player injuries and availability, but I think our team is playing it’s best lacrosse of the year,” said Pieper.

“If we want to win this year, we will have to play a lot more disciplined. Penalties will happen, but we cannot take the dumb ones that we are known to take.”

Pieper adds the animosity between the two clubs should make for an entertaining series.

“We don’t like them, and they don’t like us. I think this is the only thing both teams will agree on. This has been our biggest rivalry for the past few years and the games have been very intense.”

Junior Cats even series After averaging one goal every two minutes over the first 40 minutes, just one goal was scored in the third period.

And it was a huge one for the Vernon Re/

Max Tigers.

Braden Barr’s powerplay marker at 13:16 of the final period gave the Tigers an 11-10 win over the Armstrong Shamrocks Saturday at Nor-Val, evening the best-offive Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League semifinal at one game apiece.

Barr slipped his shot short side on netminder Cole McFarlane for the winner.

“Braden rifled the ball with true conviction,” said Tigers’ head coach Myles Brumpton. “It was a beautiful goal. It was signature Braden Barr.”

Tiremen draw brew crew Morning Star Staff

Vernon Kal Tire overcame a slow start and settled for a 4-4 draw with Tree Brewing in a battle of last-place teams in Okanagan Men’s 35+ Soccer League action Monday night in Rutland.

Miscommunication on the Kal Tire back end allowed the brew crew to strike early.

After a short lightning delay, play resumed and a Kal Tire defender hauled down an opponent in the box for a penalty kick. Dan Curtis, filling in at keeper, got his hands on the ball but it wasn’t enough to keep the ball out of the net.

The tiremen then went on a tear, courtesy of a David Broadhurst natural hat trick.

Broadhurst, making his Kal Tire debut, scored his first off a wind-aided kick from 40 yards out that curved spectacularly over all the defenders and past the keeper.

Darren Nobrega added a fourth goal on a brilliant pass across the box from Michael Arding.

Tree Brewing equalized in the last eight minutes, with the final goal coming off a free kick for a disputed call by the ref outside the Kal Tire box.

Man of the Match honours were shared

by Broadhurst and Curtis. Both teams are 1-8-2.

ANDRE LODDER/MORNING STAR

Steve Milne (right) of the Camels protects the ball against Terry Peterson of Big O Tire in Okanagan Men’s 45+ Soccer League action Monday night at Marshall Field. played a strong defensive game and capitalized on two chances in the second half.

Camels spook Ogopogos In men’s 45+ action Monday night, the Leko PreCast Camels scored on their first possession and went on to ice the Big O Tire/Turn-Key Ogopogos 3-1 on Marshall #1.

The 10-2 Camels took the opening kickoff and worked the ball up-field where Dan Zieske chipped a ball over stand-in Big O keeper Paul Hunter from the top of the 18 just 40 seconds into the game.

Aided by the wind, Humpbacks’ striker Gord Howard completed his team’s offence before the break. His first goal came off a feed from Zieske, the second was generated by a Jeff Vest free kick to Chris Reeves, who wheeled up the left wing before sending Howard in on a partial breakaway.

Big O had their chances, with Roland Riedstra and Mark Wasylyk missing on break-ins. The tiremen (6-6) finally spoiled Dave Dutcher’s shutout bid with four minutes to play when Wasylyk put a cross to Riedstra, who found the top corner with a well-struck kick.

Kickers tax accountants Vernon’s Bosman Accounting bowed 4-1 to North Country Appraisals Kickers of Kelowna at Marshall #2.

The 3-9 accountants went up 1-0 at the half when Ian Murphy scored on a broken play after Bob Fleming and Kevin Mitchell worked the ball deep.

Guy Paulsen was stellar in net with four huge saves in first half for Bosman.

Pete Richter went in net for the second half. Centre defender Tom Ouchi and centre midfielder Hans Edblad shined for Bosman.

The Kickers, recording their fifth straight win to improve to 7-4-1, went down to 10 men when striker Wil Kruiper picked up a red card before the half.

North Country used a heavy wind advantage to score four times, three of them by Sergio Sartori, after the break.

Stars fall in Summerland Vernon’s Silver Stars fell 4-2 to firstplace Penticton on a stormy Monday night in Summerland.

Penticton, now 11-1, enjoyed the bulk of the play in first 20 minutes, with Zeke Pescada controlling the midfield. They opened the scoring when Pescada played a brilliant through ball to one of his forwards, who made no mistake putting it far side past keeper Ted Lurkins.

With 10 minutes remaining in the half, a giveaway by a Star defender allowed Rob Jackson a free shot from 25 yards that he looped in under the crossbar.

Another defensive gaffe put Penticton up 3-0 three minutes into the second half, but then the 4-4-4 Stars turned up their offence. Art Renaud drew a foul in the 18 and Rick Danyluk stepped up to take the penalty. However, the strain of his upcoming marriage left him distracted and he put the ball well wide of the net.

The Stars were then awarded a free kick from 25 yards. Steve Coombs ripped a shot while Penticton was setting up its wall.

The ball hit the post and then deflected off the keeper’s back and into the net.

Penticton made it 4-1 before the Stars responded when John Burns headed a corner on net and converted his own rebound.

Bopp big for Salmon Arm In other 45+ action at Parkinson Fields in Kelowna, Salmon Arm used a Wolfgang Bopp hat trick to brush back host Kelowna’s Cantina’s Pub 6-3.

Jonathon Bugden chipped in a deuce for 7-4-1 Salmon Arm, who also got a single from Johannes Schnieder.

Salmon Arm carried most of the play, just missing on several other chances.

Cantina’s (2-10) capitalized on a penalty kick resulting from a hand ball, and a couple of defensive miscues by Salmon Arm. Rutland Spirit recorded their first win of the season, surprising Lake Country 3-2 at Parkinson.

The Spirit are 1-10-1, while Lake Country dipped to 5-5.

Sports Continued from A31 The first two periods were polar opposites, with Vernon jumping out to a 7-1 lead after 20 minutes, only to watch the Shamrocks outscore Vernon 9-3 in the middle frame to make it 10-10 heading into the third.

Ryan Landels jumpstarted the Vernon attack with a first-period hat trick; other offence came from Nolan Frame (2), Jordan Orr and Midget call-up Liam Drabiuk.

Owen Barker supplied Armstrong’s goal in the first period.

“It was seamless lacrosse for the first 20 minutes,” said Brumpton. “We had Armstrong on their heels.

“In the second period, the roles were reversed. A combination of the heat and the adrenaline put us on our heels in the second period. Armstrong came out flying and built up some momentum.”

Brett Hawrys fired three goals for the Baby Rocks in the second period, with Conor Payne, Joel Castle, Barker, Drew Hassard, Cam Nelson and Nathan Marcetta also getting on the scoresheet.

Said Shamrocks’ head coach Pat Nelson: “Our recovery from a rough first period was outstanding. We

VS

swung the momentum totally in our favour and the response was exceptional, it really shows what we can do as a team.

“We played two very good periods, the second was outstanding and we just couldn’t get a bounce in the third.

Our team doesn’t roll over when we are down. We come together when we are down and that’s the sign of a good team.”

Drabiuk, with his second, Mike Quarin and Mason Limb connected for the Cats in the second frame.

“Third period was a chess match,” said Brumpton. “Both teams buckled down on defence and we just happened to capitalize on the powerplay.”

Tigers’ Midget call-up keeper Tyler Landry made a couple of breakaway saves in the final minute to preserve the win.

Game 3 went Tuesday night at the Wesbild Centre, and Game 4 goes Thursday night (all games 7:30) at Nor-Val. If necessary, Game 5 would go Saturday at Wesbild.

The winner will face the Kamloops Venom in the league final. Kamloops swept the South Okanagan Flames after the Flames forfeited Game 3 Saturday night.

Sexsmith setting the bar Morning Star Staff

Lumby’s Jared Sexsmith will head to the B.C. Summer Games, July 19-22, in Surrey, as the fourth ranked Midget high jumper in the province.

Sexsmith, a 14-year-old who trains with Vernon’s Triple A Track Club, claimed gold with a leap of 165 centimetres at the annual Jack Brow Meet, recently hosted by the Kelowna Track and Field Club. He added a fourth in the long jump, recording a personal best (PB).

In other action at the Jack Brow, Vernon’s Chris Loland struck bronze in high jump with a PB 155, and was sixth in long jump.

Loland, also 14, is ranked seventh in B.C. in high jump.

Both jumpers will be competing against 15-year-olds in Surrey.

In girls action in Kelowna, Armstrong’s Ella Brown earned gold in 16-17 girls triple jump and was fifth in long jump.

Armstrong’s Tyra Gilbert,

also in the 16-17 division, finished sixth in long jump and seventh in 100-m hurdles, clocking a PB 15.96 in the latter.

Brown and Gilbert will be competing this weekend in Coquitlam at the B.C. Athletics Championship Jamboree. This meet is used for the selection of the B.C. team that will venture to Charlottetown, P.E.I for the Legion National Youth Championships, Aug. 17-19.

“It’s the hardest team to make as only 25 are chosen,” said Triple A head coach Ian Cameron. “Right now, Ella Brown is ranked second in the province in triple jump for this age group, and she’s ranked eighth in the country, so she’s going down to Coquitlam to give it her best shot at making this extremely competitive B.C. team.”

Cameron will head to Charlottetown as the sprints, hurdles and relays coach, as well as the head coach B.C. squad.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Conditions are a bit unusual and somewhat mysterious where your work or career is concerned. You’ll be helped rather than hindered, even when you don’t ask for assistance.

when you might want to focus on making extra money.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) If you want to have more clout with your peers, you only have to assert yourself. You have excellent leadership qualities at present.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Someone whom you’ve gone out of your way to help in the past has been looking for a way to reciprocate, and he or she just might find out a way to do so. You deserve it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Don’t give up on your hopes and expectations, because they have excellent possibilities for being gratified. What you desire will be placed at your fingertips.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) An opportunity from an unsuspected source is likely to present itself, and it could help you fulfill an ambitious desire.

However, it will be of a fleeting nature, so you must act fast.

THE

Moderately Confused

In 1833 at age 10,

Bridge by Phillip Alder COUNT YOUR TRICKS AND GET THEM Mitch McConnell, the longest-serving U.S. senator in Kentucky history, said, “A reporter asked recently, ‘What keeps you up at night?’ I replied that I generally sleep well, but if I ever do have trouble, I don’t have to count sheep. I count all the states I’m glad I’m not the governor of.”

You will sleep at night if you count all of your tricks correctly. Take this three-notrump contract. How should South plan the play after West leads his fourth-highest spade?

North, holding 14 highcard points, expected three no-trump to cruise home.

He sensibly eschewed Stayman because he had 4-3-3-3 distribution. Also, if

North-South had a 4-4 heart fit, game in that suit might fail because of bad breaks, leading, for example, to a defensive crossruff.

South had only four top tricks: two spades and two diamonds. He could get six more winners from hearts and clubs, but he would be losing the lead twice. Maybe the defenders could establish and cash too many spade tricks.

It looked to South as though it could not hurt if he tried dummy’s spade jack at trick one. However, look what happened when East covered with the queen.

Declarer ducked, and East returned his second spade.

Then, because West had both missing aces, South lost three spades and those aces.

Now go back to trick one

and play low from the board.

Assume East puts in his nine. Declarer wins with his ace and, say, plays on clubs.

West wins and leads a second spade. Now South finesses dummy’s jack. Yes, it loses, but East does not have another spade to play (and if he did, the suit would be 4-3 and the contract safe).

Barney Flaherty was the first newspaper carrier ever hired.

It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of Brenda Marlene Adams on July 5, 2012 in Vernon, BC at 65 years of age. Memorial Service to take place at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 11, 2012 at Zion United Church in Armstrong, BC. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at www.MyAlternatives.ca.

Arrangements entrusted to ALTERNATIVES FUNERAL & CREMATION SERVICES® Armstrong 250-546-7237 & Vernon 250-558-0866

Janice Patrick, the ¿rst born child of Thomas and Isabelle McDowell, who were both talented musicians, arrived on February 28, 1917 in Vernon, B.C. She had three siblings, Elaine, Stuart and Kenneth. At the age of ¿ve she was a musical child prodigy and performed concerts at the MacDonald and Palliser Hotels in Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta.

She continued studying music and performing extensively until she married George Patrick in 1941 and moved to Revelstoke, B.C. where after George ¿nished his work with the CPR they operated a Credit Bureau.

With music being a part of her soul, she soon taught piano and voice and mentored many excellent musicians who went on to perform and enjoy music with the same passion Janice had for musical excellence. She loved her music. Her life was rich in friends and family and her trips on the Greyhound to Vernon and Kelowna to share her musical talents as a teacher were legendary.

A true celebration of Janice’s love of music and of the full life she lived will be held at St. Peter’s Anglican Church in Revelstoke, B.C. on Saturday, July 28 at 2:00 p.m. Former students who wish to perform are welcome to do so as a variety of musical selections and stories of those who wish to honor Janice in this way are encouraged.

Please contact Gary Sulz of Brandon Bowers Funeral Home at 250-837-2029 if you wish to be a part of the musical and/or spoken gifts to the memory of Janice with your performance or words of remembrance.

Training targets cadets Morning Star Staff

New to the Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre this year is the Junior Canadian Ranger (JCR) enhanced training session.

A national military-supported but community-based program like army cadets, the JCRs are youth aged 12-to-18 who live in remote and isolated communities.

The scope of their training focuses on the development of life skills, traditional skills and Ranger skills. They are taught by Canadian Rangers, local volunteers and primary reserve non-commissioned officers.

The JCRs and staff will be housed and supported by VACSTC, with training occurring until July 28.

The youth and adult staff coming to Vernon this summer are from northern and western British Columbia, and the northern regions of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.

They are led by the Junior Canadian Ranger Company staff, from 4 Canadian Ranger Patrol Group, who are based in Victoria.

With the arrival of the Junior Canadian Ranger mentors very soon, final coordination of training activities for the enhanced training session is continuing at a frenetic pace.

The staff has completed the setup of camp on Mission Road and is working to create a bivouac

“Having fun is an integral and critical aim.”

— Scott Macdonald site in the hills east of Winfield.

At peak attendance, more than 200 Junior Rangers and staff will be in camp, most of them new to Vernon and the Okanagan Valley.

“Over the period of the next three weeks, we will expose our JCRs to paddleboarding, hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, canoeing, air rifle shooting, and swimming,” said Capt. Scott Macdonald, the officer in charge of the Junior Ranger Company.

“The principles of leadership and teamwork will also form an important part of the training content. Life skills, such as the prevention of bullying, being respectful, caring for the environment, and the value of community service, are key teaching points.”

If all of the JCRs go home tired but with a big smile on their faces, the instructors will know that it has been a great camp.

“Having fun is an integral and critical aim of our program,” said Macdonald.
