STOMPIN’ STAMPEDE LISA VANDERVELDE/ MORNING STAR

Austin Stewart, of Charlotte, North Carolina, entertains the crowd with his trick roping Saturday at the 95th annual Falkland Stampede. See more stampede action photos on A24.

Helicopters help police keep lid on activity ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

The happy face stunt outside a Falkland pub had a sad ending for the driver. An unidentified motorcyclist decided to draw a happy face off Highway 97 in Falkland with his motorcycle after Sunday’s annual Stampede parade by burning a little rubber. What the motorcyclist did not realize was that a motorcycle police officer was watching the stunt being conducted in the pub parking lot. Gord Molendyk “The driver finished doing a circle and came face-to-face with our officer,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The motorcyclist provided a breath sample and blew under the legal limit. He was ticketed under the Motor Vehicle Act for stunting. Local officers used two wheels and a police helicopter

to help keep North Okanagan highways safe on the long weekend. On Monday afternoon, members of North Okanagan Traffic Services and the Integrated Road Safety Unit were aided by a police helicopter while conducting a road safety operation on Highway 97 south near Crystal Waters Road. On one occasion, the eye in the sky observed two motorcycles pass on a double solid line. “The pilot kept the vehicles in sight, and speed readings on the two bikes were obtained from officers working the road check,” said Molendyk. “The two bikes were flagged over at the laser operation.” The helicopter also gave heads up to the members at the stop of fast vehicles coming into the laser operator. The helicopter was so effective as it was observed by the motoring public that officers noticed that drivers slowed down to the speed limit. More than 30 contacts were written during the two-hour period. “The helicopter is used up here very little but it definitely gets used a lot in the Lower Mainland,” said Molendyk. “It’s

a costly venture to bring it up here.” A couple of other traffic incidents of note from the weekend included one person given a ticket for excessive speeding after a southbound vehicle was clocked going 99 km/h in the 50 km/h zone on Hospital Hill by the crosswalk. The driver’s vehicle was impounded for seven days. RCMP officers also called for an ambulance in Falkland after a cyclist who was conducting repairs to his bike on the side of the road managed to slice off the tip of a finger. For the long weekend, police issued 123 speeding tickets, one 90-day and one three-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition. One person was ticketed for excessive speed and one driver was caught behind the wheel while prohibited. Another 19 persons were issued citations for not wearing seatbelts and four drivers were caught using their cell phones behind the wheel. Two vehicles had no insurance and nine other tickets were written. Police also gave out 50 warnings.

Vernon librarians Stephanie Vollick (from left), Kristy Hennings and Tara Thompson plan the library’s first anniversary Plant a Seed celebration in one of the reading areas. 32nd Avenue to 30th Avenue has been a huge success. “Circulation is up and there’s always a buzz in the building,” said Thompson. It’s not uncommon to find students hanging out after school, either doing homework or looking for the latest in reading. A large bank of computers is popular with those who don’t have access at home, while there is free

training for people discovering eReaders. Community groups are also taking advantage of meeting rooms. “Scrapbookers are here and people who play chess,” said Hennings. “We welcome groups to come in. People can bring in a coffee and sit with their friends.” Another popular amenity is the children’s area, which is designed

ommunity excitement blossomed when Vernon’s new library opened and now there are efforts to deepen those roots. Okanagan Regional Library will mark the 30th Avenue branch’s first birthday by hosting Plant A Seed In Your Garden and In Your Mind Saturday. “We want to celebrate how wonderful our food system is and how great it is to live in this area,” said Kristy Hennings, reference librarian. Tara Thompson, branch librarian, believes it’s appropriate for the first anniversary to follow a gardening theme. “The branch just went through big growth into this big, beautiful building,” she said. The event includes a special children’s program at 10:30 a.m. and the adult book club at 10:30 a.m. will discuss Barbara Kingsolver’s Prodigal Summer. For those interested in composting rain barrels, Gord Hiebert will host a lecture at 10:30 a.m. At noon, there will be a birthday cake and speeches from local dignitaries. That will be followed by Kathryn Hettler, an organic farmer and author, conducting a food demonstration at 1 p.m. The event wraps up at 2:45 p.m. with a food demonstration by author and journalist Judie Steeves. Hennings believes it’s important for the library to promote a number of topical subjects. “We want people to view this space as their community space,” she said. “They can come and share their ideas and gather information.” The move from the old site on

Bylaw officer assists RCMP roger knox Morning Star Staff

A lot of people think bylaw officers simply write out parking tickets. RCMP officers think they’re a great partner. A bylaw officer on-duty in downtown Vernon Sunday at 8:15 p.m. noticed a police officer at a traffic stop in the 3200 block of 33rd Street, having pulled a car over for a suspected impaired driver. The observant bylaw officer noticed two men and a woman get out of the vehicle. He pulled his vehicle over to assist the RCMP officer as he recognized the men and knew them to be known to police. “Shortly after his arrival, two of the people, the female driver and one of the men, began yelling at the police officer,” said RCMP spokesperson

Gord Molendyk. “The bylaw officer assisted our police officer in cuffing the female driver while keeping the other agitated passenger at bay.” A second police officer then arrived to help deal with the two men in the vehicle. The woman, said Molendyk, continued to scream and yell and kick the police car door, damaging it. She was taken to cells and the aggressive male was later released when he had calmed down. The second man was also let go on his way as he remained calm during this road check. “Again, this shows the working relationship that the police have with our bylaw officers in the City of Vernon,’ said Molendyk. The 21-year-old Vernon woman is expected to face charges of mischief, and she was issued a 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition.

Police patrol party locales roger knox Morning Star Staff

A joint effort between RCMP and conservation officers helped keep long weekend parties from getting out of hand in one particular North Okanagan region. Checks were conducted Friday night between the two organizations at camp sites around Mabel Lake. Four major parties were identified with anywhere between 50 and 250 revellers at each. “Officers attended these parties prior to people becoming overly intoxicated,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “They gave warnings and reminders of the offences of drinking and driving.” After that, the two groups set up a major check stop on the Mabel Lake Forest Service Road at the 14.5-km marker, and more than 20 vehicles were checked. “Everyone involved felt the pro-active policing and the very high visibility helped prevent any significant issues from taking place in the area,” said Molendyk.

A 19-year-old found wet when arrested by RCMP in connection with a motor-vehicle incident near Enderby is in hot water. Officers from the Enderby detachment responded to a report Saturday of a vehicle crashing in front of a home in the 2300 block of Enderby-Mabel Lake Road. “One man was seen running from the scene through the owner’s property,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “A short time later, a second car pulled up and the occupants began searching for the suspect who crahsed the vehicle.” According to police, the suspect, aged 19, took the vehicle from a nearby campground, and continue to investigate whether the man had permission to take the vehicle or not. He was arrested by officers a short distance away from the crash scene for a breach of previous conditions not to consume alcohol. “The suspect was wet when our officers located him, like he had run in water,” said Molendyk. The man was released from custody on a promise to appear in court.

RCMP handle unruly suspect roger knox Morning Star Staff

Autobahn for All

Alcohol is believed to be a contributing factor to a bizarre incident in Vernon Sunday that saw fences and a car windshield damaged, and a police officer allegedly spit upon. Police were called at 3:15 a.m. by a woman who reported that a man was yelling and jumping on a car in the 3900 block of 25th Street. Officers attended and went into the backyard of a home in the 2400 block of 40th Avenue where they saw what they described as a “very drunk man” ripping white pickets off a fence. “The man was arrested for mischief under $5,000 and was very uncooperative with our officers,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. Molendyk said when the man was being let out of a police car at the Vernon detachment, he allegedly spit on one of the officers who opened the door to let him out. It appears the suspect may have damaged fences in two locations, and there was quite a bit of damage to the car he allegedly jumped on, including significant damage to the windshield. A 20-year-old Vernon man was released from custody on a promise to appear in court. He is expected to face charges of mischief and assaulting a police officer.

MP makes monitoring list martha wickett Black Press

Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes has captured the attention of the prime minister. What that will mean for him remains to be seen, but there’s one certainty – it has come at a cost to taxpayers. Federal government expenditures on media monitoring between April 1, 2011 and March 20, 2013 show that Mayes is one of 65 backbench MPs who the government has been watching. Mayes is listed as one of more than 400 search terms the Privy Council Office contracted Cision Canada Inc. to monitor. Cision Canada’s website describes the company this way: “Marketing and PR professionals use our products to help manage all aspects of their brands — from identifying key media and influencers to connecting with audiences; monitoring traditional and social media; and analyzing outcomes.” The Privy Council Office spent $2.4 million on the media monitoring, which included keeping an eye on the 65 MPs. Government-wide, more than $23 million was spent monitoring media over the same period. The monitoring was news to Mayes, who learned about it late last week. He told the Salmon Arm Observer he is aware the Prime Minister’s Office does some monitoring because there have been a few instances in the past seven years he has been contacted regarding different articles in the newspaper. “Not many but a couple where they said, ‘do you really want to say this?’ and we talked about it,” explains Mayes. However, he wasn’t aware his name is one of 65 backbench MPs on a list of ‘search’ terms. “It just came up before I left (Ottawa), and so actually I haven’t had a chance to ask some specifics on it, why they picked the 65,” he said Monday. “It’s hard to say. The prime minister might have said, he just wants to see 65 people and how they’ve dealt with the media because he’s looking to put them in a higher position – and just wants to know how they handle media… I don’t know.” Mayes says he will be asking for the reasons when he returns to Ottawa. In the meantime, he’s not bothered by being watched. “The public is always monitoring me. There are people out there who maybe don’t agree or who are critical, sometimes looking for me at my weakest point. It doesn’t bother me at all. If you don’t like conflict and don’t want to live in a glass room, then don’t run for politics.” He said most communications are open to monitoring. “In this world of modern communications, tweeter and Twitter and Facebook and all the rest of it, basically everything you put down on a computer is open. I’ve found the best way, if I’ve

“The public is always monitoring me.” — Colin Mayes

got something really private that I don’t’ want to be repeated, I just phone directly to the person… Anything I put on line I expect it to be public at any time.” Among those people being monitored by the Conservative government is Liberal MP Justin Trudeau. Mayes isn’t sure how he feels about being in his company. “I don’t know if that is a compliment or not. That’s yet to be told,” he laughed. Federal Liberal MP John McCallum, who requested the media monitoring contracts and their search terms from the feds, is not impressed. “I think it’s a preposterous waste of money,” he said, adding that it demonstrates a certain contempt on the part of the government for its own members. “To monitor every word they say… there are lots of more pressing matters.” He noted Google searches are free. “Why you have to spend all this money is quite beyond me.”

Rolling back

n interesting trend is developing in local parks and recreation. For years, officials hiked user fees annually, saying there was a need to keep up with the cost of living (labour, utilities, etc.) or to put money in reserves for future capital works. But within the last week, politicians and bureaucrats have put on their Wal-Mart happy faces and started rolling back prices. Case in point, is Vernon council instructing staff to review ice rental rates and if warranted, recommend to the Regional District of North Okanagan to reduce certain categories for 2013/14 to retain market share and allow residents to afford to be active. In a report to council, Doug Ross, recreation services manager, suggested that ice rental rates have backfired. Richard Rolke “There was a time when Vernon had the monopoly on ice sheets and now there is competition from Armstrong,” he said. “We see teams driving by us and going to other communities for ice they used to rent from us.” Certain operating costs are consistent whether arenas are full or empty, so there are other financial issues to consider beyond losing revenue by reducing rates. Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe suggests lower fees could help turn the situation around. “We need to do everything we can to retain market share,” she said. While Vernon debates what to do with its arenas, a similar scenario is unfolding to the east in Lumby. The White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee recently voted to discount early bird passes for the outdoor pool by 50 per cent. “Existing rates are somewhat excessive and we want to increase usage,” said Rick Fairbairn,

committee chairperson. A family has had to fork out $270 for an early bird season pass while it was $135 for an individual. Obviously the cost was a factor because only three family passes were sold last year. Just like in Vernon, Lumby officials have discovered that lowering rates to encourage usage is necessary for a financially sustainable facility. “The cost to operate is the same whether there are three people or 100 people in the pool. You still need lifeguards and the pumps have to run,” said director Randal Ostafichuk. Of course, the link between rates and users is nothing new. “The cost for the average person to participate in sports is expensive and we are seeing declining enrolment in some programs,” said Fairbairn when recreation fees were hiked 2.4 per cent in 2012. “There must be a balance between what we charge and increasing participation.” And the bottom line is that while a 50-cent hike here and a $1 increase there doesn’t seem like much, there is a cumulative impact. Many families have been hit hard by the economic downturn. Wages have been frozen or jobs have been lost. We all know where gas prices have gone, and the cost of groceries, rent and other basics aren’t far behind. The prospect of sending your kid to the pool for an afternoon of fun or signing them up for minor hockey has become a matter of dollars and cents. And the increasing cost of recreation comes at the same time society is worried about growing waist lines and the stationary lifestyles digital gadgets have encouraged. Ultimately, it takes money to run recreation facilities, and while making a profit is unlikely, at least breaking even is ideal. But to do that, a change in thinking is required. Rolling back those fees may actually force more people to stay closer to home to play, and, more importantly, get them off the couch.

When news broke a few years ago that a new library was being built, those who work at, study in and enjoy the library were thrilled. The almost ancient building next to the museum was crammed and in dire need of more space. Ground broke in 2010 and then one year ago the doors to the roomy new library opened. While many are overjoyed to have the new resource, others have questioned the need. In this digital age, was it really necessary to build a new library? There is an assumption that more people are downloading books at home than perusing the book racks at the library. While that may very well be true for some, libraries still play a vital role in their communities. Traditional uses may not be as popular as before (borrowing physical books), but libraries have adapted and expanded giving citizens even more resources and reasons to check out the library. There’s e-books, audio books, free internet access, DVDs of feature films and TV series, CDs, community spaces, room for study groups and a host of programs, Libraries are a vital hub of entertainment and information in a community, and there is no exception in Vernon. There are hundreds of free events throughout the year from toddler pyjama story times to speaking series and adult book clubs. So if you still haven’t made it over to the new library building, there is a perfect opportunity Saturday as the branch celebrates it birthday. You never know, it could open a new chapter of entertainment or education to your life.

Council should involve public

he City of Vernon core services review draft final report identifies 28 opportunities for council’s consideration. Many of the opportunities are integrated with various Greater Vernon services and some, such as return of surplus recovered water to the surface water system, are extremely controversial, as pointed out by Morning Star reporter Richard Rolke. I think it would be safe to assume then that Vernon council will be very reluctant to pursue many of the opportunities for fear of alienating their Greater Vernon partners and raising the ire of those opposed to treated effluent disposal. I have a better idea. Put these opportunities to a vote of the electorate. Whenever our elected officials want to make major capital expenditures the option to borrow is put to the electorate for us to decide, as was the case in the recent referendum for the community sports field and athletics facility. So I advocate putting the Greater Vernon cost-saving opportunities

to the electorate and let us decide. A cost-saving referendum would be an interesting undertaking. We know that borrowing referendums don’t inspire the electorate which is clearly evident in the dismal number of eligible voters who took the time to vote in the last referendum. Maybe a cost-saving referendum would better grab everyone’s attention. The most controversial opportunities identified in the report are Greater Vernon issues so the referendum should be for all Greater Vernon voters to consider. All of the questions should be clear and concise that can be answered with

core review Going by the article on the front page April 24, it looks like what the city will get is like any other report generated by "bean counters." The first things targeted are items that have an environmental benefit, in this case waste water treatment and transit. A bus with two or three people has a footprint, however the real question is: Why are so few using public transport where it is available? i.e. what is needed is a better sales job for public transit. And for those who are not aware, yet, there are smaller buses available. They would be less expensive to run and more cost efficient. Equally short sighted is waste water discharge into the lake. It appears the KPMG people assign no value to keep waterways as clean as possible. The water that is re-used for irrigation stays in circulation; it seeps into the ground, nourishes what needs to be nourished and the excess will run downhill into a stream and then into the lake. During that process it goes through an additional filtering cycle. But since one can't assign a number

either yes or no. For example: Are you in favour of The City of Vernon pursuing the option of returning surplus recovered water (treated effluent) to the surface water system (Okanagan Lake) for the reuse of downstream communities? Yes or no. Are you in favour of Greater Vernon pursuing a change to transit policy to reduce the level of service and reduce the cost to taxpayers? Yes or no. Are you in favour of amalgamation of the Greater Vernon area into a single municipality? Yes or no. I believe these three issues will

to that process it doesn't count - at least as far as the "bean counters" are concerned. Things don't change much, do they? Hans-Joerg Mueller HigHway noise I'm all for improving roads and highways and upgrading to four lanes, but at what cost to the lifestyle of people who live along them? I'm talking in particular of the section of Highway 97A along the Tolko mill and auction towards Armstrong. A couple of years ago, I asked about a noise abatement wall between the residential area and the highway and was told that because it was not a freeway, that the Ministry of Transportation would never consider a wall along there to reduce the noise. Instead, they tried to tell me the asphalt they used was designed to produce less noise. I think that is bull. It's still noisy as the traffic rolls on by. All I am asking for is a reduction in the traffic noise so I can sit on my patio and enjoy the summer with a little bit of peace.

definitely conger up a tremendous amount of discussion on both sides of each question. All Greater Vernon politicians could decide to support, not support or have no comment on any of the referendum questions. By putting the questions to the electorate for our opinion it takes the controversy out of the hands of the politicians and puts it clearly on the voters’ plate. We have a local election coming up in November of 2014 and this would be an opportune time to present these questions. The results of the referendum will be nonbinding but will provide clear and concise direction to the 14 Greater Vernon representatives elected in 2014. By way of this letter I am not taking a position on any of these issues. I, for one, will keep my opinions to myself. The point of the letter is to promote the idea of soliciting the opinion of the electorate which will be valuable information for our politicians as they move forward to shape the future of our community.

Give me back my peace and allow me to enjoy my backyard once again. r. Zawada students safer I am the parent of children who go to Harwood Elementary School. I am the PAC president, so I have a vested interest in the welfare of the children who attend that school. I have read and heard complaints in regards to the improvements made to 20th Street. Were these improvements not done to keep the students safer while walking to and from school? Does the issue of parking really get to trump children's safety? Are we content as taxpayers to have our money wasted on removing or adjusting this fantastic project to satisfy some squeaky wheels? I would love to see improvements made to 25th Street in order to help more kids stay safe. I would ask you to really think about why this project was done before you ask for it to be undone. tammy schiewe

piano Blues Vernon is fortunate to have a stellar performing arts venue. We are doubly fortunate to have a fine Okanagan Symphony Orchestra. We are less fortunate that we house in the Performing Arts Centre, an elderly Steinway grand piano with a mind of its own. It is an embarrassment to present this aged, constantly out of tune piano to the outstanding pianists who frequently grace the stage of our Performing Arts Centre. If Vernon wishes to remain in the purview of good artists, we need a new piano. annie powter

Fire ruins truck, not the milk roger knox Morning Star Staff

The milk was spared but the delivery truck was not as fortunate. Armstrong Spallumcheen volunteer fire department responded to a vehicle fire report shortly after 2 a.m. Saturday in the 1300 block of Pleasant Valley Road. “We had a semi truck fully involved, and it was totally destroyed,” said fire chief Ian Cummings. The truck had been delivering milk from the Lower Mainland to a transfer station so the milk could be redistributed. It caught fire shortly after arriving in Spallumcheen. The milk was transferred fully out of the trailer. It’s believed the fire started under the hood of the semi and is not believed to be suspicious. The driver was not injured.

Owner seeks boat’s return Morning Star Staff

Did the boat drift away on its own, or did it have some help? The owner of a 14-foot Harbourcraft fishing boat with a 9.9 Evinrude outboard motor called RCMP last week to report his vessel had drifted away from his property on Okanagan Lake near Brewer Road off Westside Road on May 7. The boat is an aluminum model with a blue stripe and RCMP aren’t sure if the boat did, indeed, float away on its own or if somebody may have taken the boat. If anyone has found the boat, they are asked to please call the RCMP detachment so they can contact the rightful owner.

Students dine out for ‘50s rom-com Kalamalka drama students serve up an experience to remember Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

There’s something about ‘50s pop culture that still resonates. Picture the girls in their button-up cardigans, pony tails and bobby socks and boys with their greased-back hair, madras and white T-shirts putting coins in the jukebox while drinking malts at the local diner. For a group of Kalamalka Secondary School students, reruns of the classic TV show Happy Days and the musical Grease have been a few ways they have been able to connect to the look and feel of the ‘50s as they get ready to stage their year-end play, Service on 6th. Add in the silly antics of Dumb and Dumber, and you get the idea for this romantic comedy, produced, penned, directed, costumed, designed, built, painted, driven and portrayed solely by the students of Kalamalka’s Apple Box Theatre. A labour of love, the play started with an original concept by head writer Wardan Vanderveen, a Grade 12 student who also stars as John in the production. “We chose the ‘50s era as it suited the diner theme,” said Vanderveen. “We wanted to explore (the ‘50s) from the eras we previously explored in our other recent plays, the ‘30s in Idiosyncrasies and the ‘90s in Broken.”

Kristin Froneman /morninG star

Kalamalka secondary student sarah Kozin serves morgan Hillis, left, and sam Braun as well as Courtney Kneale and Wardan Vanderveen in the student-penned and directed play Service on 6th, opening at the school’s apple Box theatre. An example of youth democracy in action, it was Vanderveen’s job to coordinate his fellow classmates’ ideas into the play, and then help cast those who fit the various roles which numbered to 25 in all, including minor parts. “These are non-auditioned roles,” said Vanderveen. “Me, the stage manager, and (Kal drama teacher) Mr. (Shon) Thomas helped pick the roles that fit, which was a challenge, and everyone then could veto the role they were

given.” Set in the 6th Street Diner (no relation to Vernon’s Diner on Six) in the fictional town of Dirtwood, the play follows the community’s quirky citizens whose interconnected lives are acted out amongst a backdrop of giant records. There’s the diner’s owner/server Ruth (Sarah Kozin) who guides by example when dealing with the young people who visit her establishment. Then there’s the couple

(Vanderveen and Courtney Kneale) with big city dreams who attempt to break free of Dirtwood and leave their small-town lives behind. Along for the journey is François (Ian Pusey), a man-child with little emotional control, who is faced with his daughter wanting to run away with her boyfriend. Add in some shocking plot twists and swoon-worthy romances, and what started out as a jumble of thoughts and ideas has miracu-

lously come together to form what the students like to call a play, said Grade 12 student Morgan Hillis, who has taken on the role of Penny, the new gal in town also trying to find her way. “The challenge was to do it ourselves. Mr. Thomas doesn’t interfere. He let’s us solve our own problems,” said Hillis, adding the students often had to think about the language to suit the times. “If we had to modify a line, it had to fit the era. The characters have to make sense.” That thinking also played a part in designing the set, which was taken on by Grade 10 student Pusey. After some modifications, and despite one of the doors to the diner being put on backwards, Pusey finally came up with a concept that worked. “The set was an ordeal. I didn’t know what I was doing for the first month of class as we were busy writing. I did sketches of five designs, but none of them worked,” he said.“It’s been a struggle, but it’s now coming together well.” Kozin says the best thing about the play has been bringing the different age groups together to work on one common goal. “This is my last play with the school. From Grade 10 to now, I’ve grown so much as a person, and in my relationships with people,” she said. “It’s been a great experience.” Apple Box Theatre’s Service on 6th runs May 28 to June 7 (no shows June 2 and 6). Doors open at 7 p.m. Matinee is June 1 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $7/adults, $5/students available at the school office or at the door.

Week-long drama festival in Vernon ends with awards ceremony Morning Star Staff

Last year it was The Woman in Black. This year it was Venus in Fur. No, it wasn’t the latest theme of a Victoria’s Secret lingerie show, but the winner of best production at the Okanagan Zone (O-Zone) Drama Festival, hosted last week by Powerhouse Theatre in Vernon. Kelowna’s Fred Skeleton Theatre Company’s

interpretation of David Ives’ Venus in Fur took home the coveted Allum Cup for best production. The awards, presented by adjudicator Amy Baskin Saturday at the Schubert Centre, also saw Vernon’s Matt Brown repeat his win for best director. Brown directed David Mamet’s play Oleanna for The Hub Arts Collective this

year, and last year took home the same award, as well as best production for Powerhouse Theatre, for The Woman in Black. “I am honestly really flattered,” said Brown. “First and foremost I want to share the award with our two actors (Ashley Plomp and Chris Froese) as well as with (co-producers) Kristine Larsen and Starling Taylor, the people that were there throughout this long process.

Treatment for Chronic Foot Pain Available in Kelowna

ain in the feet is one of the most debilitating injuries we can be plagued with; it is felt in the arch of the foot (Plantar Fasciitis), the heel (Plantar Fasciitis or heel spur) or at the back of the ankle (Achilles Tendonitis). Unfortunately, we continuously use our feet, which makes healing from related injuries very difficult.

success, it gives up and healing stops. Shockwave Therapy breaks up scar tissue, restoring the function of the muscle and promoting new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. In fact, in a double blind study published in Journal of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society, 90%of patients suffering from heel and arch pain showed significant improvements with Shockwave. Furthermore, Shockwave Therapy (developed to break up kidney stones) has success rates of between 77%-91% in the treatment of other soft tissue conditions. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

Plantar Fasciitis is an overuse injury affecting the fibrous tissue that forms the arch. Heel spurs can form when the fascia tears at the heel attachment and results in pain in the center of the heel. Achilles Tendonitis is irritation of the Achilles where the calf muscle meets the heel and can result in pain in the calf, the Achilles, or the back of the heel. The inflammation from overuse leads to pain as well as deposits of scar tissue, further inflaming the area each time the Achilles or plantar fascia are used.

Film shows ‘Mad Men’ of Chile For The Morning Star

Recently, the movies Argo and Zero Dark Thirty have shown fictionalized versions of true stories. Both controversial, some have felt history was being rewritten (see some Canadians reaction to Argo), while others have felt the films brought their respective events to a larger audience. No is no exception. The film, which the Vernon Film Society is screening Monday at the Towne Cinema, is a fictionalized account of the 1988 referendum in Chile that resulted in the resignation of dictator General Augusto Pinochet. International pressure, mainly from the U.S., pushed Pinochet into holding a referendum. If he won, it would mean another eight years of his rule, with “disappearances,” torture and continued repression in the country. The film focuses on two men from the same prosperous Santiago ad agency. The middle-aged head of the agency, Lucho Guzman (Alfredo Castro), is a decent, complacent man who happens to be a senior figure on Pinochet’s advisory council. His smartest employee, Rene Saavedro (Gael Garcia Bernal), is a liberal whiz kid who’s approached by a coalition of 16 opposition parties to head a media campaign for a “no” vote. This handsome, single father believes the public must be won over by a carefully orchestrated campaign

Some of the coalition feel it is the wrong approach, but gradually the “no” faction gathers strength and cohesion and has to battle the dirty tricks the Pinochet government uses. As film reviewer Philip French from The Observer writes: “The 17 days before voting turn into a cross between the Eatanswill byelection in Pickwick Papers, Mad Men and a tense fortnight during the Arab Spring.” No was a 2013 Academy Award nomination for best foreign film. No shows at the Towne Cinema Monday at 5:15 and 7:45 p.m. Tickets are available one week ahead at the Bean Scene and the theatre. Please note: there is some violence and coarse language.

Giving their time and skills

wo hands in prayer could represent the job of a physician, working in the Third World. One hand represents the challenges the job entails while the other hand represents the rewards the work brings. Together the hands are the silent prayer that such a doctor may recite while working in areas where conflict, disaster, poverty and few first world resources are part of the job. dr. April sanders Many physicians and nurses in Vernon do such work and it is on a volunteer basis. They do this because they can. Recently I visited Dr. HS my friend, colleague and former emergency physician at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. He had recently completed a month in Africa as a flying doctor with the African Medical Research Foundation (AMREF). Based in Nairobi, Kenya, AMREF provides pro bono air evacuation in medical emergencies to people in many African countries. The service is provided 365 days per year. Flying doctors volunteer for a month of service and provide 24 hours of availability during that time. Other than being 15 lbs. lighter and sleep-deprived, HS was in good health, if somewhat subdued in spirit. I could tell from his face that he was a different person than the one who

second opinion

had left a month earlier. HS arrived in Nairobi on New Year’s Eve and within hours was taken to the airport for his first patient transport. He had enough time to introduce himself to the nursing staff and review the medical equipment on board the plane before being whisked to Tanzania to stabilize and transport a tourist who had broken her pelvis falling out of a land rover. Hours later in his Nairobi accommodation, he was again called to fly back to Tanzania to stabilize and transport a politician who had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. Each trip comprises many hours and as tired, stressed and hungry as he was, after midnight he was back to the airport on his way to Somalia. It was only later that he was informed that the area was a hot bed for al-Shebaab, the Somali based cell of the militant Islamist group al-Qaeda. Sadly, a large majority of the trauma HS had to treat and transport was the result of motor vehicle accidents. Dangerous roads with few rules, no seatbelts, crowded vehicles, and remote locations create the perfect conditions for vehicle disasters. HS recalled one such case involving a family of 10 individuals. After hours in the air to reach them and hours in a land rover to get to the village, he found himself on site after dark. One child had died, seven family members had head injuries and many had internal injuries, lacerations and broken bones. Treating the injured was carried out in

the dark dirty corridors of a makeshift hospital, surrounded by most of the village; all of Africa’s mosquitoes, and little help beyond several excellent transport nurses. With failing weather, the surviving patients needed to be quickly stabilized before the window of opportunity to fly back to Nairobi passed. Individuals were stacked like cord wood in the belly of the plane only to have one child die before takeoff. As a result injured patients needed to be removed and repositioned complete with intravenous lines, ventilators and monitoring equipment so that the little one could be given to the remaining family for burial. During the long trip back, another family member was lost. Many hours later, HS delivered the surviving patients to the Nairobi hospital. Visiting two days later, he was shocked to see several of his patients still sitting in the hospital corridor where he had left them several days before. In Africa, with limited resources, life, by necessity, is cheap. Our Canadian physicians do excellent work in many poor countries. They are well-trained and like HS are generous with their time and skills. All volunteer organizations, and AMREF is no exception, need cash. The organization helps Africans on a volunteer basis but also, for a minimal fee, provides excellent medical insurance for tourists. Recently when travelling in Africa I felt confident knowing that if I got into trouble, HS would be flying in to pick me up. That is what I call service.

Life

Best of the season

’m hoping that everyone enjoyed the long weekend as much as I did. We spent our time at the lake with family and friends enjoying campfires, s’mores, fishing off the wall, paddle boarding, playing with our three-year-old granddaughter, and eating wonderful foods. My niece treated us all to a delicious warm rhubarb crisp with some apple included in the mix: delicious with ice cream! Today I’m offering a seasonal recipe for the same, but a rhubarb/ strawberry mix. The stores are full of imported strawberries right now trying to get a jump on the local market which, from looking at my crop, won’t be ready for another three to four weeks. These imported berries are perfect for the crisp recipe. The soup recipe is also very seasonal and can be enjoyed hot or chilled. Cream of asparagus soup 1 lb. fresh asparagus spears 1 medium onion, diced 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 24 ounces low sodium chicken broth (quantity to taste) or 24 ounces reducedsodium chicken broth (quantity to taste) or 24 ounces chicken broth (quantity to taste)

1 medium potato, peeled and diced 1 celery rib, chopped 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh thyme) Fresh ground white pepper 8 ounces cream (You may want to use evaporated skim milk, half n’half, or milk to cut more fat) Salt or salt substitute Soak and rinse asparagus. Remove top 1 inch of each spear, discard tough lower part, and dice and reserve middle portion of stalks. In a 3-quart saucepan, over medium heat, sauté onion in butter for 3 to 5 minutes or until translucent. Add chicken stock, asparagus tips and stems, potato, celery, thyme, and pepper. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes or until vegetables are soft. Remove from heat and let cool. Remove asparagus tips and set aside. Place half of the soup at a time in a blender container. Cover and blend at high speed for 20 to 30

seconds or until very smooth. Pass through a fine sieve and return blended soup to saucepan. Add reserved asparagus tips and cream (or half and half, or milk) and heat thoroughly, or refrigerate to be served cold. Be sure to adjust the seasoning after you add the cream (or half& half, or milk), especially if you plan to serve it cold. strawberry rhubarb Crisp 4 cups fresh rhubarb, 1-inch diced (4 to 5 stalks) 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved, if large 1-1/4 cups granulated sugar 1-1/2 teaspoons grated orange zest 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup quick-cooking (not instant) oatmeal, 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter, diced Vanilla ice cream, for serving

dissolve the cornstarch in the orange juice and then mix it into the fruit. Pour the mixture into an 8-by-11-inch baking dish. For the topping, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the brown sugar, salt and oatmeal. With the mixer on low speed, add the butter and mix until the dry ingredients are moist and the mixture is in crumbles. Sprinkle the topping over the fruit, covering it completely, and bake for 1 hour, until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown. Serve warm with ice cream.

Balanced budget for 2015

long with many of you, I am concerned with the rising national debt. Your government has a plan to balance the budget in 2015 and in spite of low economic growth figures, both globally and domestically, we feel confident we will meet our commitment to you. Our president of the Treasury Board, Tony Clement, has cut public service costs, as well as spending cuts in various departments. By reducing travel costs of public servants and elected public servants, modernizing service delivery, cutting the use of paper, and cutting programs, we have seen a significant savings of $16 billion.

Also, Gail Shea, minister of the Canada Revenue Agency, has invested in finding those illegally evading taxes. We have already collected over $2 billion in unpaid taxes and have committed to do more to ensure everyone pays their fair share. Closing tax loopholes and improving the fairness of the system has also proven to increase revenue as well as cut costs. Much of your government’s deficit spending has been invested in key infrastructure. To help the lagging economy it was Colin Mayes determined to invest now for tomorrow. The great advantage of this is that at a time of recession, competition for contracts are very competitive allowing government to get more for money spent. Investments allow Canadians to see tangible assets for their money. We, in the Okanagan-Shuswap, have been fortunate to see new highway improvements from Armstrong to Kelowna as well as over $200 million spent, over the last three years, on the TransCanada Highway in B.C. Although we incurred debt to do these projects, the asset will be with us for decades. Canada’s debt to gross national product is the lowest in the G7, and not by a small amount. Canada’s debt to gross domestic product is around 36 per cent. The U.K. and the U.S. are 90 per cent and Japan 170 per cent. This is a testimony to the economic action plan we put in place in 2009/10 to ensure creation of jobs, economic growth, and future prosperity for Canadians. Colin Mayes is MP for Okanagan-Shuswap.

At least now, more people will understand that Vancouver has been an oil port for nearly a century, and that Canada’s future includes energy development. More people should also appreciate that environmental assessment is not a political game. Andrew Weaver made history as B.C.’s first Green Party MLA. He came out swinging against Clark’s economic holy grail, development of liquefied natural gas exports from the North Coast. Weaver calls LNG a “pipe dream” that will never materialize. It will be interesting to watch him as he is proved wrong on that, and then as he grapples with gas as a transition fuel that can be used to develop clean energy infrastructure. B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins ran a distant third in his Langley constitu-

fall, starting in 2017. The idea of giving his anticipated government an extra six months to govern the province was uncontroversial when Dix proposed it in his party’s election platform, so Clark will probably proceed with it. Another NDP idea Clark should adopt is getting the corporate

Paddleboards make a splash Morning Star Staff

Coldstream’s Kalavida Surf Shop has announced a series of Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) events and to kick off the new season with a splash, they are hosting their first event, The Eagle Run, on Saturday at Kal Beach. The season opener includes recreational and competitive races for both newbies and experienced paddlers along a spectator-friendly course between Kal Beach and Bishops Bird Sanctuary. In an effort to involve kids and youth, this year’s schedule now includes shorter distance races for Groms (ages 13 and under) and Junior (14-18 years old) making the event fun for the entire family. For those looking to develop new skills and hone their technique, Kalavida is also hosting a SUP skills clinic prior to the race, and for the general public, there are free demos in the afternoon. It’s a great chance to try out the sport for the first time and learn about the boards and equipment. The official schedule for Saturday looks like this: 10:30 a.m.-12 p.m. – skills clinic; 1 p.m. – SUP races; 2:30 p.m. – Relay events; 1-3 p.m. – Free board demos for general public. The Okanagan region has gained the reputation as one of Canada’s top destinations for the sport and Vernon is home to one of the strongest communities of surfers and paddlers. The second annual Eagle Run will also serve as a warm-up to a new event dubbed AquaTerra, a unique bike and paddleboard relay race, held June 15 in Kalamalka Provincial Park. And, of course, it all leads up to the fourth annual Kalamalka Classic SUP Festival, Aug. 31 and Sept. 1, on Kal Beach. The ‘Kal Classic’ has grown to become Canada’s largest paddleboard festival and with a strategic partnership in Tourism Vernon, the event will now be recognized as the first-ever Canadian national championship. As part of an ongoing commitment to help protect the environment and Kalamalka Lake, proceeds will be donated to SPrKL (Society for the Protection of Kalamalka Lake). You can register at Kalavida and get all of the details about their events on their website at www. kalavidasurfshop.com.

A leisurely Sunday jog or stroll will help local kids play sports. Brent and Susie Helland of Vernon are organizing their third annual Mind, Body & Sole Running and Fitness KidSport 5k Fun Run and Walk on Sunday, May 26, at Lakers Club House (7000 Cummins Road, park at the VantageOne Indoor Soccer Centre lot). “The run is for all ages and levels of running, as it’s a fun event that the whole family can participate in,” said Susie Helland. “All proceeds from this event will go to KidSport Vernon.” All proceeds from this event will go to KidSport Vernon. The Hellands hope to beat last year’s amount raised which was $2,395. New this year will be a 10-km run, which will start at 9:45 a.m., 15 minutes ahead of the start of the five-km event. Pre-registration is encouraged, but on-site sign-up will start at 8:45 a.m. The registration fee is $15 per person, $40 per family (a family is three or more people) and kids under five take part for free.

A handful of Vernon Rep soccer teams pocketed medals in the Kamloops Slurpee Cup on the Victoria Day weekend. The United Under 14 boys defended their crown at McArthur Island Sports Centre by dispatching pesky West Kelowna 2-0 Monday. Rowan MacDonald and game MVP Malcolm Wiens contributed the early goals. Great performances were also given by Owen Burnet and Kevin Thibault, while midfielder Cameron MacKenzie and defender Connor Holliday had bold games. The West Kelowna keeper kept things close as Vernon enjoyed a 17-2 shot advantage. United won their pool with three wins and a tie. Elias Jensen was stellar in net, allowing just two goals. Vernon opened with a gutsy 3-2 win over Terrace. After falling behind 3-0, Terrace scored twice to make it interesting but game MVP Jensen was brilliant to allow no more. Shey Townley contributed a deuce and Wyatt Carter added another. United then battled Nelson squad to a scoreless draw. Sam Eggert and Peter Hirschkorn had mighty games on defence, while Gavin Mason controlled the midfield. Vernon manhandled Williams Lake 6-0 Saturday afternoon with Charis Ondrik scoring twice, and Burnet and Hirschkorn both netting their first goals of the year. Carter was MVP. United U17s struck gold by posting wins over Port Moody AC, Vancouver United Vipers and Kamloops Blaze, while losing by a goal to the Terrace Kermodes. United, coached by Neil McPhie and Terry Eddy, dominated the opposition with only two goals against, one of which was a penalty shot. The Vernon U13 boys gained a draw and three losses, starting with a 2-0 loss to Nelson. Chris Atkins, Jarrod Latta and Braeden Cooper battled hard on the wings, with Ben Purvis earning game MVP. Trent Graham, Adam Raber and Kody Kongsdorf played strong defence. Vernon tied 1-1 with the Kamloops Blaze as Micah Martens was brilliant in net and MVP Perez Vermeulen headed one in off a bounce from a Cooper free kick. United bowed 4-1 to Richmond with Purvis converting off a great cross by Noah Schneider. It was the first time Richmond team had been scored on all weekend. Kazuki Comley was United’s game MVP. Vernon finished with a 2-1 loss to relentless Terrace. CJ Storey opened the attack for Vernon.

Neville (Handsome) Hamilton also scored for the Legends, while Brad (Coolio) Young registered the shutout, his fourth of the weekend. “We had a super-charged defensive core,” said Sherman, who played college ball for the UNBC Timberwolves in Prince George. “Ben Stanchfield and David Dollack were incredible as sweeper/stoppers.” Rather than play off for third place, the Calgary Gunners and Northside Rangers of Calgary had a friendly with a group of young children and then donated the $200 prize money to the Vernon Soccer Patch program.

Vernon’s Ron Krause, 51, ran alongside his brothers Randall, 50, and Robin, 47, for Pioneer Hitch.

They stretched the field, spread the offence around and got clutch goalkeeping and stingy defence over four games and three days. Dr. Lee’s Dental simply put it all together and won the women’s 35+ division title in the 34th annual Vernon National Oldtimers Soccer Tournament. A total of 46 teams in seven divisions competed in the Victoria Day long weekend classic, organized by North Okanagan United women’s club. There were eight entries in the women’s 35 class. Veteran midfielder Irene Arrotta, named tournament MVP, scored the winner off a gorgeous curling corner as Dr. Lee’s shaded Kamloops 2-1 in Monday’s final at MacDonald Park. Vernon pocketed $600, while Kamloops earned $400. Erin Crowe converted off a lovely feed from Erin Scott for the opening Vernon goal. Lisa Arrotta was stellar in net. “We played smart because it was hot,” said Cindy Worth of Dr. Lee’s. “We passed the ball around and used our wings well. Irene played a fabulous last game. She was heading everything out of our zone.” Dr. Lee’s, who were without longtime head coach Akbal Mund, opened play by blanking the Scottish Classics of Calgary 5-0 Saturday afternoon at Marshall Field #3. Scott, who avoided the Bavarian gardens in the morning, scored a deuce, while new author Corey McRae, Irene Arrotta and Deanna Baker completed the offence. Lisa Arrotta registered the shutout. The Vernon blue crew doubled Calgary United 4-2 Sunday morning at Mac Park. Down 2-0 at the half, Dr. Lee’s responded with two breakaway goals from roadrunner Kim Teichman and singles from Paula Brownlee and Laurie McTavish. Dr. Lee’s finished preliminary action by grounding the Calgary Eagles 4-1 Sunday afternoon at Marshall #5. Teichman, Crowe, Brownlee and Kim Wiebe handled the offence.

Pee Wee Canadians sweep River Dogs Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Kal Tire Canadians swept a Pee Wee AA baseball doubleheader last weekend, grounding the Kamloops River Dogs 11-7 and 8-6 at Creekside Park. Caden Bracken earned the start for the C’s, but gave up six runs on four hits. Chase Batchelor came in to close, allowing two runs on three hits. Bracken and Dawson Chase chipped in with a pair of hits, while Colton Schaper-Kotter homered in the first inning. Batchelor continued on the mound in Game 2, allowing three runs on six hits before giving way to Jaden Parsons, who gave up two runs on five hits. Chase shut the door in the final two innings with no runs allowed and just one hit. The C’s then won two of three in a weekend exhibition set with the Prince George Knights, who took the first tilt 4-2. With Nick Cherkowski on the mound, the C’s gave up four runs on five and 2/3 innings before Jarod Leroux closed things out. Parsons went 3-for-3, while Leroux smacked a pair of hits. The C’s rebounded with a 16-15 comeback win in the second game by scoring six runs in the final inning. Cherkowski led off with a single and Chase followed with a two-run homer. Caden Doyle then singled, Batchelor and Carter Morris drew walks and Bracken and Parsons then hit RBI-singles. With the bases still loaded, Leroux ripped one up the middle to drive home Bracken for the winning run. Vernon closed the series with a 13-12 win, with SchaperKotter allowing seven runs on five hits through four innings of work. Doyle, Parsons and Leroux also saw mound duty. Chase came up big in the bottom of the seventh by pounding a solo dinger for the winning run. Doyle hit 3-for-3, with Parsons, Leroux, Schaper-Kotter each adding two hits.

We had a solid team effort all weekend.” Big O started by shutting down the Edmonton Strikers 3-0 Saturday morning with Mark Wasylyk (2) and Brian Eso getting the goals and Nadeau posting the clean sheet.

Joe Eggert was solid on the back line and Schneider was selected MVP for Roy Cooper’s bunch. United U11 boys teams ended up meeting in a head-to-head playoff game Monday. Both teams played a level up in the tough U12 division and posted 1-1-1 records in the round-robin. Vernon #2 opened by holding back Terrace 2-1 on goals from Nathan Paskiewich and Adam Bsat. Game MVP Matt Reich was incredible in net, while Maksim Chirkoff, Aiden Skinner and Paskiewich dominated. Vernon #2 then lost 6-2 to West Kelowna, getting sweet goals from Kobe Grant and Liam Glennon. Reich was MVP again. The United boys then got goals from Glennon and Skinner, on a 40-yard chip over the keeper, in a 2-0 victory over the Nelson Selects. The lads fought hard in the second half with Tysen Fairweather, Gavin Medema and Ben Morgan holding off the Nelson pressure. Glennon collected MVP. Vernon #1 lost 3-1 to Williams Lake in their opener with Isaiah Ondrik clicking on a penalty kick and keeper Kevin Morgan bagging MVP honours. Game 2 ended in 2-2 draw with Nelson as United rallied for a superb finish and received two goals from MVP Ondrik. Bold showings were supplied by Joel Kongsdorf, Jack Cotter, Keegan Carmichael and Luc Jones. United then bounced the previously unbeaten Kamloops Blaze 3-0 on a first-half goal by Ondrik and two second-half tallies by Dawson Martian. Liam Reid was a force throughout, with Lucas Schuch, Zach Manthorne and Saajan Klair turning in solid showings. A sharp Morgan pocketed the shutout and MVP. In the Monday inter-club playoff, United #2 recorded a 2-1 win as Glennon made a fantastic run and scored the equalizer before Grant made a run down the wing and buried a hard shot. Ondrik, on a magical feed by Reid, gave United #1 the lead. Game MVPs were Cotter and Grant. On the girls’ side at the Slurpee, Brett Bandy’s U15s struck silver by winning three before losing 1-0 to Kamloops on Monday. Reyhanna Akkurt and Maya Bandy, with two goals apiece, and singles from Kate Healy, Brianne Robertson and Emilee Kronbauer gave United a 7-0 ambushing of the Penticton Pinnacles. Vernon then shut down Langley 2-0 with Healy knocking in her own rebound after a corner with Kronbauer providing a nifty dummy for the winner. Minutes

The United U12 #1 girls also garnered a silver medal, starting with a 3-0 win over the skilled and well-disciplined Vernon #1 U11s on snipes by Megan Sherwood, Makena Kersey and Danica Ariano. Callie Bertram was the game MVP for the U11s. Game 2 saw the girls topple a younger Kelowna squad 5-1 as fabulous passing by Keira Correias and Emilia Durfeld helped Ariano to a hat trick. Kelsey Carriere added two goals. Vernon played the tough Penticton U12 squad to a scoreless draw in their third game. Great attacking runs by Sydney Grevatt, Grace Atkins and Sherwood kept the action in Penticton’s end, while Vernon’s defensive line of Julia Thompson, Carly Southam and Olivia Sawka sparkled. United #1 finished by falling 4-0 to Kamloops with Vernon getting gutsy play by Durfeld, Atkins, and Paige Noakes up front. The Interior Savings United U11 #1 girls shared second place at 2-1-1 playing in the U12 category, getting edged out for a medal on a close goal differential. After their loss to Vernon United U12 #1, the Interior Savings girls tied eventual champion Kamloops Blaze 1-1 with MVP Anne Cherkowski scoring on a nice solo effort for a first-half lead. Kamloops equalized in the second half off a stolen goal kick. The defence of Bertram, Kenzie Koshure, Emma Eggert, Keeley Tiessen and Carly Larson were rock-solid against a bigger and stronger side. Summer Crosby played big when called upon in net. The United girls beat U12 Penticton 1-0 in their third game with Koshure landing a 30-yarder in the first half. The midfield of

Vernon’s Chris McEachran-Law felt pretty good about his even-par 72 Saturday at Eagle Point Golf Resort in Kamloops. What he didn’t know was his upstart little brother Matt had also been busy at the B.C. Zone 2 junior golf stop, carding a sizzling 5-under 67 to place first overall. Chris finished tied for second with Kelowna’s Madison Kapchinsky, while Vernon’s Austin Bosquet earned a share of fourth at 2-over 74. One-over after six holes, Matt reeled off three straight birdies to go out at 34. Three more birdies on the back and a tap-in eagle on 14 led to a 3-under 33 on the back nine for a new career best. Christian Lacasse of Vernon carded a 78 to earn a share of 10th. In the Bantam division, Mac Gourdine of Vernon finished with an 82 to place fourth, while Dexter Weiten was 10th with a 90 and Daniel Saunders was 13th with a 100. Sunday at the Zone 2 stop at the

Dunes in Kamloops, Kelowna’s Steven Lee fired a 3-under 69 for first place. He was followed by Kelowna’s James Casorso (71) and Matt McEachran Law (72) in second and third. Chris McEachran Law shot a 74 for a tie at fourth and Bosquet fired a 76. Mackenzie Barrie of Vernon shot 77. Lacasse shot an 82 to place 21st and Gourdine was 30th with an 84. In Bantam play, Weiten tied for eighth at 87 and Saunders fashioned a 96 for 11th. Meanwhile, Seaton grad Conner Kozak is a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics second team all-star for the second straight year. Kozak, captain of the UBC Thunderbirds men’s team, steadily improved at last week’s NAIA championships, carding rounds of 78-7673-71 to finish 31st. The T-Birds placed 11th overall. In 21 rounds this season, Kozak had a scoring average of 74.24. He leaves Saturday to play in the Canadian Interuniversity Championships, May 28-31, in Ste-Sophie, Que.

Bridge by Phillip Alder

IT CAN BE RIGHT TO RAISE WITH THREE Jascha Heifetz, a great violinist who was born in Russia but moved to the United States at 16, said, “If I don’t practice one day, I know it; two days, the critics know it; three days, the public knows it.” Bridge players do not need to practice that often -but it would be beneficial if they did. Look at the North hand. He deals and opens one diamond, and South responds one spade. What should North rebid? North has three possible choices, but all have drawbacks: one no-trump (with a singleton), two clubs (aims at minors) and two spades (only three trumps).

Best is two spades, which limits the hand and looks for a major-suit fit. We love majors and dislike minors. (I will say more on this tomorrow.) South should then jump to three no-trump. If North has four spades, he will correct to four spades. Here, though, he passes. After West leads the heart six, South sees a disappointing four top tricks: one spade, two hearts and one club. Four more are available in diamonds, and another winner can come from clubs. However, declarer must be careful to take the club finesse at trick two. Although the finesse loses, West cannot safely lead another heart, and the contract comes home. Note that if a diamond is

led at trick two, the contract dies. East wins with his ace and leads a heart through the ace-jack. When West gets in with his club king (or East with his spade king), the defenders cash enough hearts to defeat the contract. Yes, playing ace and another club works here, but not if East has the king.

July 29th, 1928 – May 21st, 2012 “The beauty of the trees, the softness of the air, the fragrance of the grass speaks to me. The summit of the mountain, the thunder of the sky, the rhythm of the sea, speaks to me. The faintness of the stars, the freshness of the morning, the dewdrop on the flower, speaks to me. The strength of the fire, the taste of salmon, the trail of the sun, and the life that never goes away, they speak to me. And my heart soars”.

reams pursued and lost. Dreams created and achieved, strengths re-born, secrets learned as the threshold is crossed. This threshold crossing is truly a wonderful and special event. Who knew? I wish we could all walk in our truth sooner, before waiting to pass through this doorway. I wish that everyone could let go of the worries of what others think, and focus instead, on allowing both themselves and those around them to just ‘be’. Choosing to disbelieve the negative messages that were given by anyone they came in contact with in their life. “Imagine if we lived with no judgment of one another” my friend said to me not long ago. “Imagine what a wonderful world it would be if we could just get past that judging part and accept every one for who they are”. Wow! I could feel my soul smile when she said that. It was one of those profound moments, brilliant and wonderful and freeing all at the same time. Imagine. If we collectively tried to do this, we could make that ‘shift’ that we keep hearing about……….the collective consciousness shift that would change our world. It is interesting to look back once you’ve passed through the door. You see the messages hidden in experience with more clarity. They become hugely obvious and you wonder why you didn’t notice this at the time. But you cannot be held at fault, because it is only with this experience that you learn to see more clearly (and besides you likely need glasses by then anyway).
