TRICYCLE CHALLENGE

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

JENNIFER SMITH/MORNING STAR

Jolene Chernoff, of Kiss FM, and Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky make their way through the tricycle challenge, which Chernoff won, Monday morning during the Bike to Work Week kickoff event at Cenotaph Park. A midweek celebration takes place today from 6:30 to 9:30 a.m. at Sun Country Cycle and on Friday there will be a wrap-up barbecue at Spirit Square from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. For a video of other local celebrities in the challenge visit www.vernonmorningstar.com

Pitch made for upgraded fire service RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

There is pressure on Vernon city hall to provide additional firefighting resources for a Landing community. Council was told Monday that response times to Canadian Lakeview Estates at the end of Tronson Road are not sufficient, and there needs to be full-time professional firefighters at the hall Mary-Jo O’Keefe on Okanagan Landing Road instead of on-call volunteers. “Timing is crucial in a fire or medical emergency,” said Jim Dubois, with the Lakeview Estates

Community Association. “A reasonable response time would be possible if the existing Okanagan Landing station was staffed with two on-duty firefighters per shift.” Dubois says the presence of professional firefighters would benefit all Landing residential areas. “We feel strongly that this is not a discretionary service that we are presenting. Rather, it is a basic, essential emergency service.” Dubois says it can take volunteers 14 to 20 minutes for volunteers at the Landing hall or career firefighters from downtown to reach CLE, and that has a negative impact on fire insurance rates. LECA has previously called for a fire hall to be constructed on Tronson Road but Dubois believes

career firefighters at the Landing hall is an interim measure, “Consider the resources currently available to you,” Dubois told council. Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe is opposed to unionized firefighters being stationed in the Landing. “We have had a strong volunteer department there,” she said, adding that the Landing has been integrated into Vernon’s firefighting structure. “We’ve been assured by the fire chief that the response time has increased. CLE is being provided with better service.” Mayor Rob Sawatzky wouldn’t speculate on what council may do with LECA’s request because of implications such as costs. “I don’t want to comment until we see what response times are,” he said.

Diamond Club Winner

Gas prices have soared, but Vernon politicians would like to push them a little bit higher. Council endorsed a call Monday for the provincial fuel tax to be increased by $0.001, or one-tenth of a cent, with all of that money being directed towards pedestrian and cycling infrastructure in B.C. communities. “It will assist in funding for sidewalks and bicycle trails,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky. Based on population, such a tax could generate about $58,600 a year for Vernon. Sawatzky believes an expanded pedestrian network would ease the city’s financial burdens by shifting traffic away from roads. “We can’t go to property taxpayers all of the time (for funds). It (levy) is a logical approach because the people burning gas are the ones who require us to maintain roads,” he said. The city is supporting a resolution put forward by the Union of B.C. Municipalities. While he supported the motion, Coun. Bob Spiers isn’t confident lobbying the provincial government will be successful. “It’s going nowhere. They have a gas tax (grant) policy already and they won’t add to it,” he said.

The 2012 President’s Award Diamond Club honours our top dealers for demonstrating a superior level of customer care at every visit. These outstanding performers are measured not only in new vehicle sales, but also in excellent service as judged by customer comments in comprehensive surveys.

Charles Bloom rides into future Editor’s note: The following is an excerpt from Charles Bloom Secondary valedictorian Jim Lagerquist’s speech Friday at CBSS graduation ceremonies. o matter which course in life we take, I hope that we will all be happy, and hopefully we can look back on our decisions and acts and know that we did our best. Our graduation is not just an end to our high school career, but a magnificent beginning to the rest of our lives…time always continues, it continues into the unknown horizon which exceeds our sight. But it is that horizon, where we

strike out into as we approach our final days of high school. And it is that unknown, where we will make memories, and friends, attempt to leave our mark on the world…. The road to success and happiness is long, and down Robert Frost’s “Road less trodden” there are many hurdles and obstacles, but our class had the ability to overcome all of these to eventually look back, and know that all the feats we have accomplished and decisions we have made were for the best. To my fellow graduates, I say this, “it is not only what you achieve that counts, but what you become as well.”

Paddlers tackle Kal Lake Morning Star Staff

Three self-termed daredevils, including a former Olympic champion, plan to take on Kalamalka Lake standing up. Duff Gibson, Calgary firefighter, former Olympic skeleton champion and current Canadian skeleton team coach, will be joined by former skeleton teammate Kelly Forbes and writer/photographer Bruce Kirkby, dare to paddle 100 kilometres on Stand Up Paddleboards (SUPs) over a 24-hour period on Kal Lake to raise money for the Stephen Lewis Foundation Duff Gibson as part of the Dare Campaign. Calling themselves The Dare Devils, the trio will be on their boards on the lake Monday and Tuesday. The event is being hosted by Coldstream’s Kalavida Surf Shop. The money raised by The Dare Devils will go

directly to support the inspiring transformation in sub-Saharan Africa, where community-based organizations are working to turn the tide of AIDS. “When my wife and I visited Ethiopia to adopt our boys in 2008, that part of the world became very close to our hearts,” said Gibson. “The trip also showed us very dramatically what a seemingly small amount of money can do when in the hands of certain grassroots organizations. “Please join us in making a tremendous difference in the lives of those on the frontlines who are turning the tide of the pandemic in their communities.” To make a donation, visit the trio’s website and thedaredevils.ca and click on the Donate button above the thermometer. If you’re a SUP’er, or paddler of some kind, make a donation online or on the day of the event, and join the gentlemen for part of the trip. “We’d love the company and the whole point is to raise money for the SLF so donate and come out if you can,” said Gibson.

Quality of life survey seeks input Morning Star Staff

There’s strong public interest in ensuring the North Okanagan’s quality of life. Since May 10, more than 400 people have participated in the Regional District of North Okanagan’s quality of life survey. “There is much interest in the results of the survey by organizations and local governments,” said Anthony Kittel, regional growth strategy co-ordinator. All residents who complete the survey will be entered into a draw to win an iPod Nano or a

$200 gift card, as well as a chance to win one of 10 $25 gift cards from the store of their choice. To be eligible, residents must submit surveys before 4:30 p.m. June 7. Winners will be announced June 30. The survey can be completed at www.rdno.ca/qols or paper copies are available at the RDNO office, municipal offices and local Okanagan Regional Library branches. “The survey will be one of many pieces of information collected by the Regional District

to evaluate the effectiveness of the regional growth strategy and assist identifying regional priorities,” said Kittel. “The regional district plans to repeat this survey in future years to gauge progress on improving the quality of life in the region and regional growth strategy implementation.” Workshops will be held in June that will invite residents to take part in an interactive quality of life survey with real-time polling and discussion. Check www. rdno.ca for event dates.

Westshore water advisory rescinded Morning Star Staff

A water quality advisory has been lifted for residents served by the Westshore water system off Westside Road. The removal of the advisory by the Regional District of Central Okanagan was made after consultation with the Interior Health Authority. “The turbidity in the source water for the Westshore system has decreased and is once again within the acceptable and safe Canadian guidelines for drinking water quality,” said Bruce Smith, RDCO communications officer.

“As a result, we’ve removed the water quality advisory that was brought in as a precaution on May 12. Customers of the system are no longer advised to boil their water for drinking, washing fruits and vegetables or brushing their teeth.” The utility serves about 250 properties in Westshore Estates. “We wish to remind residents on the system that the advisory was a precautionary measure and that no bacteria Bruce Smith were detected within the water system,” said Smith.

Are You Taking Care of Your Shoulder Pain? Discover a New Option.

houlder aches and pains are common, but because our arms seldom get a rest, these aches often become chronic injuries: knots, spasms, frozen shoulder and tendonitis. Many of us learn to live with it and think, “It’s a part of my lifestyle or job”. Many of us have had chronic tendonitis, making it difficult to lift a carton of milk or wash our hair. And many of us have exhausted a variety of therapies.

DR. RYAN HARRIS

Therapy, the only therapy I found to get rid of my pain and heal my injury. Shockwave, developed to break up kidney stones, can break down scar tissue and stimulate new blood vessel growth, promoting proper muscle function and restarting the healing process.

It is in those injuries that have lingered for months or years where shockwave shines. If you have chronic shoulder injuries, don’t give up hope. If I had, I would not be in practice today.

Glenmore Chiropractic

Most therapies have an affect only on new injuries that are days to weeks old. Once scar tissue forms and healing stops (chronic), we are at the mercy of the injury. Over and over in my practice I hear, “I have been dealing with this injury for months or years and tried everything. Nothing has worked…what do I do?”

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association 2005, shockwave therapy had a 91% success rate for the treatment of calcific Rotator Cuff Tendonitis. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

I tell them about the tennis elbow and shoulder tendonitis I had, both of which nearly caused me to shut down my practice. I talk about the multitude of therapies I tried to no avail. Then I talk about Shockwave

Multi-million-dollar changes to Greater Vernon’s water system are making waves. Coldstream council spent considerable time Monday debating the options proposed during Greater Vernon’s

master water plan review. “We need to have more of a discussion about what’s been presented,” said Coun. Maria Besso. “It’s not certain what the right direction is.” Option two calls for partial separation for

irrigation and domestic uses, with treatment at the Duteau Creek and Mission Hill plants. Total capital costs would be about $105.6 million, with annual operating costs of $1.5 million. Option three would see irrigation needs

GMO protest draws crowd Morning Star Staff

Some North Okanagan residents are hoping senior levels of government will get the message over food supply. About 130 people rallied against genetically modified crops in Vernon Saturday. “Young people, families, retirees, professionals and teens all lined Vernon’s highway to demonstrate their opposition and to advocate solutions to food production that protect the environment and our health,” said Huguette Allen, one of the organizers. “The fact that two separate events were organized in Vernon, one by Bee Safe and the other by a Facebook group, testifies to the growing opposition to GM crops and food in Vernon.” Allen says it was necessary for the rally to focus

“We’ve asked government for labelling.” — Huguette Allen

on government. “We’ve asked government for labelling, we’ve asked for GMO free zones, to no avail,” she said. “On the contrary, under the guise of food security, all levels of government are regulating food production in ways that benefit corporations. The only thing ordinary citizens can now do is to take to the streets to protest, and to protect our own communities against anymore GM crops, such as alfalfa, wheat, trees, and pharmacrops.”

School district investigates suspensions Black Press

The North Okanagan-Shuswap School District is trying to remedy the fact that some school suspensions aren’t working.

researching why suspension practices aren’t working, and how they often end up with the students dropping out. Witt says the committee has determined that purely punitive practices don’t result in behaviour change. It also shows the drug and alcohol incidents referred for discipline are often a symptom of a greater issue in the student body, and the proposed revision supports identifying the deeper need.

Where’s the vision?

ot all ideas for long-term planning come out of city hall. Many of you will have read Sunday’s letter to the editor from Brad Foster. In it, the local resident suggested the City of Vernon purchase the former Bank of Montreal site on 30th Avenue and convert it into open public space. “With tall shade trees, flower gardens, a waterfall, benches and a downtown map kiosk, I could imagine visitors driving into town on Highway 97, seeing this feature and wanting to stop and explore downtown to see what it has to offer,” he wrote. Apparently Foster urged the city to buy the land two years ago when it became available, and I know of at least one other person who also made the same beautification pitch to the planning department. Richard Rolke Of course nothing was done and the 1960s glass and brick structure is being redeveloped privately (hopefully into something that will be more in keeping with downtown’s heritage theme). But one has to wonder how much thought, if any, city hall gave to the proposal of establishing a park at Vernon’s most high-profile intersection? Yes there would have been a cost for acquisition, demolition and landscaping, but consider the possibilities — a focal point for community gatherings, a place for downtown workers to enjoy a break and a permanent location for a Christmas tree during the holiday season. Imagine the Downtown Vernon Association creating new experiences for residents because there would be sufficient greenspace to use. Among the prospects could have been a minihaunted house for the Halloween Treat Trail. More importantly, though, a 30th Avenue park would have highlighted downtown Vernon’s heritage, and particularly the adja-

cent Interior Gift Gallery and Lunch Matters Breakfast Too buildings. It would have also been a link between the various stages of city/ merchant funded revitalization along main street. Now it’s hard to know what factors would have played a role in the city not buying the land. Primarily, it could have been cost, but that doesn’t hold water when you consider the city’s track record. In the last nine years, the city has acquired the Coldstream Hotel and two adjacent properties for $2.1 million, the Vernon Medical Clinic site for $1.4 million and the former Vernon Flower Shop for $315,000. On top of this, the city owns the Bennett lot on 29th Avenue while the Regional District of North Okanagan has title to the Toppers Cleaners property next to Cenotaph Park (purchased in 2008 for $330,000). There has been no hesitation to snap up land with tax dollars, even though virtually all of them are used for nothing more than parking. Concepts exist, whether it is an art gallery or commercial/residential uses, but there is nothing to guarantee they will materialize any time soon. But in the case of a park on the old Bank of Montreal site, there would have been a tangible sign of the public’s investment. It would have played an immediate and active role in adding much-needed vibrancy to the hub of the community. Now as we all know, the property is being redeveloped and I wish the contractor and future occupants all of the success in the world. They are showing confidence in the economy of Vernon. The bottom line, though, is the City of Vernon could have done something that would have had a lasting benefit for downtown and the community. Let’s hope that as similar opportunities arise, the powers-that-be at city hall will show some vision instead of creating more parking lots.

There’s no question maintaining a community is expensive. Politicians were recently informed that Vernon’s infrastructure deficit is $78 million, with $40 million of that directly related to roads. As a result, the city is seeking revenue sources beyond just property taxes. But the latest move to have the provincial fuel tax hiked to fund pedestrianfriendly travel (sidewalks and bike paths) is rather dubious. First off, we have all seen where gas prices have gone, so the prospect of another hike, even if it is only one-tenth of a cent, will have motorists rolling their eyes and shaking their fists. One also has to wonder if Vernon politicians are aware of the challenging economy and the financial pressures facing their constituents? And will the money collected actually go to infrastructure or be diverted? As an example, the provincial carbon tax has had little impact on the environment. Secondly, while there may be some hope that higher fuel prices will force people to switch from cars to walking or cycling, there won’t be a mass change in societal habits. People will still drive and the city will still bear the financial cost of maintaining the road network. It is unavoidable. And finally, while no one likes to see property taxes climb, there is an element of fairness to them. Everyone has to pay them. That is not the case with a fuel levy, which only targets motorists, and not cyclists or pedestrians. Obviously, Vernon city hall deserves credit for pursuing funding options, but this is one concept that needs to take the off ramp for reconsideration.

Ranch provides many benefits

e were disappointed and frustrated with Vernon council's decision to reduce funding to O'Keefe Ranch in favour of the art gallery and the museum. The benefits O'Keefe Ranch provide families, tourists and those who visit the ranch are many. We have few opportunities to interact with nature, agriculture and history hands-on. Being able to spend the day experiencing history and ranching is priceless. Very few families are able to visit these facilities or experience

arctic ice Colin Mayes' column once again displays his creative but incorrect use of scientific information to support his and the Harper government’s intention to ignore global climate change. Essentially he says that Arctic temperatures have returned to normal, the sea ice has recovered, that global warming has stopped, and that Antarctic sea ice has increased. Parts of this are true, but taken out of context and applied with only partial information. Antarctic Ice Yes, he is correct that the winter ice cover in the Antarctic is increasing, but that is due to changes in wind patterns caused by the overall patterns of global atmospheric warming. Antarctic ice, in general, is decreasing, and in particular, the volume of Antarctic ice continues to decrease at ever increasing rates. (British Antarctic Survey) Arctic Ice Mr. Mayes indicates that one of his sources was the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI), a reference I checked out. Not speaking nor reading Danish, I was at a bit of a handicap and had to rely on second-hand sources reporting on this site. Not only have this winter’s temperatures not only rested within the

ranching and for some of us, visiting the ranch is a cure for prairie homesickness and a more peaceful and productive time. It's a return to our roots. Why is there no audit, re. user volume, comparing the art gallery, museum and this ranch? This seems to be necessary. To risk losing this jewel is poor decision-making. As a taxpayer, I will gladly pay the extra rate required. Please reconsider and give families an opportunity to continue to enjoy the ranch. Val casorso normal range, they have also set the coldest temperature in the last decade. Which says little as the last decade has been the warmest ever in recorded history. But the reference itself is a oneoff. Global warming does not mean that all places everywhere are warmer at all times. Variation still occurs and the DMI recognizes this. Further, yes, Arctic ice has made a “comeback” just as the ice on our local Swan Lake makes a “comeback” each year. Unfortunately for Mr. Mayes, the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado, and in conjunction with NASA (all of those satellite photos of the Arctic), indicates this winter’s ice is not “normal”. According to the NSIDC, this year’s ice extent is already below the 2012 extent at this time of year, which itself was a new record minimum (varied a bit according to sources). Of course the ice makes a “comeback” each winter as the open expanses of sea water freeze over in the fall, but that is a cycle that will become the new normal. Summer thaw creating large expanses of open water, and winter freeze-up as solar heat disappears. Just like on the lakes at home, Mr. Mayes. What is not making a come-

back is the volume of ice. According to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Center, the volume of the multi-year ice “is showing a steady negative trend” with “three quarters loss of sea ice since 1980s.” This ties into Mr. Mayes' next scientific error when he says that global warming has stopped. Global Warming Unfortunately for Mr. Mayes, global warming has not stopped, but the rate of increase has stopped, a different kind of statistic (and even then only for one year, hardly sufficient to create a new scientific paradigm in comparison to over 60 years of research supporting global warming). While increases in air temperatures have moderated, scientists indicate that ocean temperatures are continually rising. Considering that most of the large weather patterns originate over the oceans, this would only indicate that greater energy will go into hurricanes and typhoons and other oceanic storm systems around the world as predicted by global warming scientists for several decades now. And where does all that Arctic ice sit, Mr. Mayes? It sits in the ocean, subject to warming from the oceans, and as more ocean opens up, the more heat from sunlight is able to penetrate

into the Arctic waters. Mr. Mayes' last reference was his brother who lives “close to the Arctic Circle.” This is certainly not a scientific reference by any stretch of the imagination. If this is the kind of pseudo-science that the Harper Conservatives are working with, we certainly cannot expect any action on the government’s part to try and protect our environment.

Its goal is to help every kid play a season of sport. Since then, KidSport has raised $18 million, helping more than 250,000 kids play a season of sport.

Piano man Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne puts Vernon on his boogie woogie bandwagon kristin FroneMan Morning Star Staff

Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne will never forget what a concert promoter told him and his then Los Angeles-based band before they crossed the border to do their first tour of B.C. It was not the expected warm welcome to Canada. He said, “you’re all going to die.” This wasn’t a threat, but a warning as Wayne and his bandmates were planning to drive north in the winter, in a Californian car. “He suggested we rent a Canadian vehicle with winter tires instead of driving our own car up there,” said Wayne, chuckling at the memory. As it turns out Canadian winter road conditions didn’t scare this world-class pianist away. While his former bandmates ended up moving to Las Vegas to get away from the cold weather, Wayne settled permanently in Vancouver, and he has since travelled the roads from the West Coast to Prince Albert to Flin Flon to Toronto to Montréal and back for 30 years now. Recognizable on stage in his swank and colourful zoot suits, black and white wingtip shoes and funky fedoras, the smooth dresser and all-round class act moved to Kelowna in January, joining his wife after she transferred from the University of Columbia’s Vancouver campus to the Okanagan campus. Wayne is about to play in Vernon when he joins up with local guitar master Les Copeland for a show at the Prestige Hotel’s banquet room, Saturday. “I’ve been asked a few times

enjoy a night of new orleans barrelhouse piano, blues and boogie with kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne and guitarist Les Copeland at the Prestige Hotel banquet room saturday. why I moved to Kelowna and I tell them because there’s not that much in Vancouver,” said Wayne, referring to what he says is a lack of live music venues in the city. “I’d rather be with a group of people in the area that like nice wine and seem happy with what they have.” And as Wayne is still constantly on the road, Kelowna seemed like a natural fit with its international airport as well as easy access to the Trans Canada and Coquihalla highways. Although Wayne is known as the “Blues Boss”, he didn’t actually start playing that 12-bar “barrelhouse” piano style native to New Orleans until he was an already established musician. Born in Spokane, Wash., Wayne lived in New Orleans when he was a young child, and says he was influenced by the music that surrounded

him on the street and in church, but it wasn’t until he moved to San Francisco at the age of eight that he started music lessons. By the time he was 18 he was rocking the piano, playing mostly Top 40, R&B and soul with bands in San Francisco and later in Hawaii and L.A. Wayne didn’t really jump, jive and wail as a blues barrelhouse and boogie woogie player until he settled in Canada. Actually it was while playing a gig overseas circa 1994 that he received what he calls a “reality check” from another piano player. “I was playing a place near Marbella in southern Spain, and they had another piano player from London. I was playing Nat King Cole, that romantic stuff, and he was playing jump jive like Jerry Lee Lewis. People would put money in

a jar and he would have a bowl full by the end of his set, and I would only have a little bit,” recalled Wayne. “The English guy later came to me and said ‘you really should do the blues.’ I did and he said ‘you sound like (famed American blues pianist) Champion Jack Dupree’.” After that advice, Wayne started playing more like his heroes, Fats Domino, Roosevelt Sykes and Professor Longhair, and his bowl started getting fuller. Unsure if the music would go down as well in Vancouver, Wayne says a friend suggested he do a recording. After bringing in approximately 20 musicians into the studio with him to record live “off the floor,” the result was his first blues album, Alive and Loose. And, lo and behold, people started taking notice. “I started getting write ups and then someone suggested that I submit (the album) to the Junos. I sent in the application last minute and then it snowballed from there,” said Wayne. His three releases for the independent Canadian label ElectroFi were all nominated for Juno awards, and his 2006 release, Let it Loose, won for Best Blues/Gospel Album. Nine recordings in (Wayne’s last album, An Old Rock ‘n Roll, was released in 2011 on Holger Peterson’s Stony Plain label) and he is still going strong at the age of 69. Winner of piano-keyboard player of the year at the 2011 Maple Blues Awards, and nominated for the

Pinetop Perkins Piano Player of the Year by the American Blues Music Awards in 2012, he continues to tour the world and has played with a who’s who of blues and R&B artists. Wayne also plays Fats Domino in the tribute show Legends of Rock and Roll, which came to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre in February. “My hands are still moving,” he said. “I am very thankful. It took me being up here (in Canada) to realize what I should have been doing all along.” One musician Wayne recently connected with is Copeland, whom he first saw when the guitarist backed up the late blues legend Honeyboy Edwards at Vancouver’s Yale Hotel. “It was the first time I saw chairs on the dance floor with everyone just listening. This was on a weekday and there were more people there than on the weekend,” said Wayne. After seeing Copeland perform, Wayne received an e-mail from the guitarist, not realizing who he was at the time, asking if he would be interested in doing a show in Vernon. “I thought that his name sounded familiar, and then I remembered seeing him with Honeyboy. I also asked around about him, and (fellow blues artist) Wes Mackey said ‘he’s my favourite guitar player,’” said Wayne. Influenced by the New Orleans flavours of the Prestige Hotel’s Bourbon Street Bar and Grill, where Copeland has a regular gig, the men will play the first set together as a duo as well as solo, and then will join up with Copeland’s band for the second set, which should have everyone up and dancing. Saturday’s event includes appetizers, courtesy of Bourbon Street, and a cash bar. Doors open at 7 p.m. and show time is 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 available at Cracked Pot Coffee Emporium, Vernon Towne Theatre, East Side Liquor Company and at the door.

Legendary Lake Monsters have horns aplenty Dvoira YanovskY

For The Morning Star

Deep from Okanagan Lake arise the Legendary Lake Monsters, grooving and swinging their way to the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. Brainchild of Rod MacDonald, upright and electric bass, Al Szeliga, trumpet and flugelhorn, and Craig Carmody, sax and flute, the Legendary Lake Monsters is a high energy 11-piece band with an amazing six-piece horn section. “We wanted a name that was reflective of the whole Okanagan Valley and the size of the band – something unique and memorable. The legend of the monster in Okanagan Lake predates the arrival of the Europeans in the area and is recognized throughout Canada,” said MacDonald. “And besides, we didn’t want to call ourselves The Ogopogos.” The band covers a wide range of styles including

swing, salsa, Latin, rock, pop, and R&B. “We choose songs that use integral horn arrangements to create a dynamic and lush sound combined with a definitive groove in the rhythm section, including tunes from artists like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Louis Prima, The Mambo Kings, Gloria Estefan, Joe Cocker, Van Morrison, and James Brown, to name a few,” said MacDonald. “We play music that’s fun for everybody!” The band is preparing some special songs for the evening. “The VJC is a great venue that’s hosted a lot of great players over the years, so we’re looking forward to becoming a small part of the history of the club. We’ve been working on a few arrangements especially Don Weixl photo for the club, including Stevie Wonder’s Sir Duke,” said MacDonald. sax players alex szibbo Craig Carmody and alex Barss, and rennie Naturally, a band this size takes some organization. sirianni on drums, play with the Legendary Lake Monsters saturday at

Jazz season ends with a bang Continued from A10

“This past year has been busy putting together the Legendary Lake Monsters. It’s very difficult rehearsing a band this large. It takes a lot of patience and discipline to keep it moving and paying attention to the details,” said MacDonald. Nevertheless, the Legendary Lake Monsters team up to create their dynamic sound. “Our approach to music is collaborative with everyone having input into the songs, the arrangements, the dynamics, etc. It’s important to all of us not to be boxed in by genre, leading to some unlikely tunes like The B-52s’ Love Shack being group faves,” said MacDonald. The band is also one of the new local acts to take the Funtastic Music Festival stage this summer. Musicians in the Mark Rose Big Band, MacDonald, Szeliga, and Carmody were playing

together in a few jazz side projects before putting together their roster of talented local musicians in March 2012. MacDonald has been involved in several recording projects over the past year and acoustic country-blues trio Steel Wound. “I prefer to play across a wide range of genres,” said MacDonald. Besides playing trumpet with the band, Szeliga performs classical music with Kelowna organist Sandra Fletcher and guests. No stranger to the VJC, Carmody lends his talents to Kath and the TomKats in addition to the Mark Rose Big Band.

home for a family in need. The school has built 19 homes to date. The short-term mission trip is part of the students’ curriculum and allows young people to do something positive in the world. While practising their basic carpentry and Spanish language skills, the team has a chance to put their faith into action by doing what Jesus would have them do (Matthew 25:45). In Mexico, the group camps in tents at a secure campground with limited access to water and plumbing. This gives the students an understanding of what it is like to live in poverty, as often the people they build homes for are living in conditions that we would find shocking. Usually they are in homes that have dirt floors and the walls are old pieces of plywood that hardly protect them from the elements. This year, the group built a home for a widow named Evelia, who makes only $46 a week cleaning homes. Students were stunned to see a blanket serve as a front door. They worked hard, without the help of power tools, to build an 11’ x 22’ home with cement

Each day, Evelia would greet the group with hugs, calling them, “mi familia.” What also surprised the group was how the people living in poverty could be happy. “I experienced the kindness and genuine happiness of the Mexican people even though they were living in poverty,” said student Caleb Haberstock. This experience

changes perspective not only of the group travelling but for some of the Mexicans, too. While building, neighbours often enquire about the group and what they are doing. One neighbour had a difficult time believing that kids from another country would take the time to spend a year raising money to buy a home for a complete stranger and then come and build the house as well.

“I have so much and they had so little...I went 10 days without some things that they go a life time without,” said student Brennan Seltzer. Students are required to raise their own funds for the trip. Some class time is allotted to fundraising activities such as going to a local orchard and picking up windfalls to make apple pies, but most of the fundraising is done on the students’

own time. Without the help of the parents and the generosity of the school and local community, this trip would not be possible. A portion of the money that the students raise goes directly into purchasing the building materials for the home. A donation is also given to Amor’s backpack fund which is used to purchase the mandatory materials a Mexican child needs in order to attend school.

Stop and smell the roses

ometimes events have a way of marking certain dates in your life and I will not forget May 13. This is the day we had a lot of rain and a hail storm. Wanting to save my seedlings, I guess I did a little bit too much in too little time by moving all my trays back in the greenhouse to protect them from the Jocelyne Sewell weather. This action got me in the hospital with what we first thought was a mild heart attack. After an angiogram in Kelowna, it was found that my arteries are in very good shape with no blockage but I had stressed my heart. By Thursday night, I was back home with special instructions not to lift anything over five pounds for five days and if I want my health back, I have to take it easy. At this time of the year it is hard for a gardener to take it easy. The grass is creep-

A gArdener’s diAry

ing into the beds and I still have a lot of cleaning to do before transplanting tomatoes and everything else. I thought that I would be wise by not doing the market in Lumby for the rest of the summer and take a little time for myself. Like it says, I have to stop and smell the roses. I will miss it a lot as I like going there every Saturday. It is a nice drive from Vernon and I always felt part of a family. I will be growing a bit less for this reason but if I still have too much, I am sure the Salvation Army and the Upper Room Mission would gladly take it for their needs. Don’t let anything in your gardens go to waste. There is always a need in the community for sharing. I try to have a very good diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables. We are having salads now with arugula, lettuce, kale, Swiss chard and many other greens that I had planted a few weeks ago. I like to add calendula petals on top of my salads as it gives nice colours. My supply of frozen fruits is getting low but I am also using some of my canned fruits. Most of the desserts are cob-

blers or crisps. With this cool weather we’re having, I find the rhubarb is at its best at this time of the year. The farmers’ markets are going strong now and I can always rely on fresh organic produce grown right here in Vernon or close by. The Vernon & District Garden Club annual Flower Show will be held this Saturday at the Village Green Centre. This is open to anyone even if you don’t belong to a garden club. The irises and peonies and many other plants are putting a fantastic show in the gardens right now. I still have many tomato plants with about 20 varieties. Because I will not do the market, I will have a home sale for the next two Saturdays. I am so lucky that two of my nieces from Quebec will come to give me a hand. I also have lots of perennials and many other plants and herbs. Okanagan Gardens and Roses meets June 10 at Schubert Centre at 7:30 p.m. This will be the last meeting for the summer, resuming in September. For more information: 250-558-4556.

Inspired by the sea

f it weren’t for an invitation to a wedding in Campbell River last weekend, I might never had experienced this amazing little bit of paradise on Vancouver Island. The town itself is slightly smaller than Vernon with about 10,000 fewer residents, and is situated right on the ocean about half way up island from Victoria. It has a wide tourist appeal for anyone who loves the sea and fishing. Campbell River has build its amenities around commercial and sport fishing, camping, hiking, seaCathi Litzenberger food, etc. Besides common tourist offerings, it has several marine museums, large driftwood carvings on every block, lots of fresh seafood eateries and restaurants, and a huge fishing pier that was constructed by local efforts and volunteers. The pier is complete with an amazing seafood concession (and other selections for non-fish eaters). With that in mind I’m offering two recipes for all those who love seafood. The first is a tempura batter that can be used for any seafood. The second, a good casserole dish the whole family is sure to enjoy. Deep-FrieD SeaFooD 2/3 cup all purpose flour 1/3 cup cornstarch 2 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 3/4 cup water Thin fish fillets, snapper, sole, cod, halibut, (your choice) cut in triangular shape 1/2 cup all purpose flour

Fine bread crumbs* (see note) Fat for deep frying For the batter, measure first 4 ingredients into a bowl. Stir in water to make a thin pancake-like batter. Dip fillets in flour, then batter. Coat with bread crumbs. Drop into hot 400 F fat. Cook until browned. Remove with slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Serves 4. Note: Batter without bread crumbs stays crisp for quite awhile and is smooth and golden. When coated with bread crumbs, it gets a bit crisper, browns more and stays crisp a little longer.

Taking a balanced look at women’s hormones Brenda Eastwood wants to teach women how to stop the needless suffering of out-of-balance hormones, with the release of her book, Get Off The PMS and Perimenopausal Roller Coaster: Learn 9 Natural Fast Track Solutions to Balanced Hormones. Registered Nutritional Consulting Practitioner Brenda Eastwood is a leading international expert on women’s health and hormones. Having suffered her own past challenges (including infertility and premature menopause at 32), Eastwood is passionate about sharing her solutions, and draws on more than 30 years of experience. “Hormonal health goes far beyond dealing with hot flashes, PMS and night sweats,” said Eastwood. “Out-of-balance hormones can also cause unjustified weight gain, fatigue, insomnia, headaches, skin problems, low sex drive, mood swings and more.” Eastwood said a one-size-fits-all solution to hormone balancing does not exist. Her book maps out a step-by-step solution for determining the underlying causes, and then provides simple instructions for creating a customized plan to achieve balance. “You can’t fix a problem with the wrong tools. If you’re tired of confusing and contradictory opinions, you’ll appreciate how I explain hormones in an easy to understand and often humorous way.” A book launch, sponsored by Woman Of Worth WOW Worldwide, takes place Thursday at

Mosaic Market’s second season is off to a strong start and is once again offering an eclectic selection of everything from local produce to handcrafted jewelry. “We expect this season will be even more successful than our first as more people know about us now, plus we have an extensive advertising campaign planned,” said Rebecca Hulme, with Mosaic Market. “On opening day a small group of people from China, who were just out for a drive, found our market and took part in the fun. “The gentleman in the group joined our entertainer, Fritz, to sing a few songs and we hope they will return again, as he was so enthusiastic and also a very good singer.” The market runs every Saturday until Sept. 28, from 9 a.m. to noon, at Westshore Estates Community Park, 12 miles from the

SOFT OPENING WEEKEND!

Colour upsets neighbours richard rolke Morning Star Staff

A proposed development has some Vernon residents seeing red. Neighbours along Bella Vista Road and Heritage Drive told city council Monday that they oppose current plans for a 28-unit multi-family project for a variety of reasons, including the exterior colour. “Who in their right minds decided on this ochre colour?” said resident Sandra Thompson. “When I have to look at all of those townhouses, I will be very angry.” Thompson also suggested that the colour of the development could hurt her property value. “No one will buy my house right across from a bright red townhouse,” she said. Robert Buchan also questioned the colour. “There are other colours so it could blend in with the neighbourhood,” he said. Darrin Collie, a design manager with MQN Architects, the applicant, defended the colour. “These are quality finished but colour is subjective,” he said. “There has been an overwhelming response to the project, layout and colour.”

On Monday, city council approved a variance so the number of storeys can go from 2.5 to three. That move angered neighbour Rose Pollock. “Bella Vista Road has some of the best view properties. With three storeys, my view will be severely impacted,” she said. However, Collie says rooflines will be lower than Bella Vista Road. Coun. Patrick Nicol says there was little the city could do about the colour of the development. “We don’t usually get into that but in any neighbourhood, people have a vested interest in what happens,” he said. Support for the developer came from Mayor Rob Sawatzky. “I thought the colour was striking and OK,” he said. As for the other concerns, Nicol says the city was limited because the project fits within the official community plan. “The height is less than if it was 30 single-family residential units,” he said. Coun. Brian Quiring declared a conflict of interest during discussions as he is a partner in MQN Architects.

They’re both 82, carry similar averages, and neither can remember how many teammates they’ve bowled with. But Elma Dalziel and Isabel Postill have bowled with each other on Thursday afternoons at Lincoln Lanes for the last 50 years. Dalziel and her then-husband moved to Vernon from Victoria, while Postill and her husband came in 1950 from the Kootenays, where they were operating a dairy farm. “Sheila Kassa was on the team and she phoned me up asking if I was interested in bowling,” said Dalziel recently before the second-to-last Thursday afternoon session of the season. Postill said she knew of Dalziel before bowling but couldn’t remember how she came about to be on the same team.

“We’ve bowled with a lot of people over the years.” — Isabel Postill

Not that it matters. The pair have been fixtures on Thursdays at Lincoln Lanes since 1963, “These two ladies are amazing,” said Lincoln Lanes’ Sandi Soroka, whose parents, Allan and Ev Wiffen, operated the lanes when Dalziel and Postill began bowling. “I can’t believe they’ve been on the same team for 50 years. They are both so much fin, nice to everybody and they are both so energetic.” The only times the pair have missed bowling are for medical surgeries or for becoming moms. Dalziel gave birth to four children, Postill delivered two babies. Yet it’s really only the bowling alley where the pair see each other, on Thursdays, from September to April. “The odd time we’ll get together socially, but not very often,” said Postill. “We both do other things.” Postill, who carried a 147 average into the final weeks of the season, likes to garden and travel with her family to cutting horse shows when she’s not bowling with Dalziel and fellow teammates Linda Kane and Marilyn Zupp on The Go-Getters. Dalziel, with a 152 average, plays badminton twice a week, plays bridge, gardens and travels when not mowing down the pins. “Some days we have good days bowling, some days we have bad days,” laughed Dalziel, who has no plans to hang up her bowling shoes. Neither does Postill. “The friendship has a lot to do with it,” said Postill of bowling every Thursday with Dalziel and others in the Thursday afternoon league. “We’ve bowled with a lot of people over the years. Lincoln Lanes has always been a friendly place, and we have a lot of fun.”

College students welcome painting booth Morning Star Staff

A newly installed automotive spray booth for Okanagan College’s collision repair program is reducing carbon emissions while providing students with training on the latest technology. The $170,000 ColMet spray booth is one of the first pieces of equipment to be installed as part of the phase one funding of

the $33-million renovation and expansion of the trades building at the Kelowna campus. “It’s state of the art, what the students are experiencing here,” said John Euloth, collision repair instructor. “Students are now working with the same type of equipment that they are going to experience in a collision shop, and in some cases they’re going to be

ahead of the curve. A lot of shops don’t even have some of the features this unit offers, such as the pulse air drying system for lower VOC waterbased basecoats.” The new unit is larger than what was previously used, which means students can now refinish trucks. It also features a baking system where temperatures reach 60, resulting in a significantly harder finish with both primers and paints. A number of improvements have also resulted in a reduction in fuel and emissions with such features as a side draft exhaust that virtually eliminates overspray and various other improvements that reduce drying time. “The whole process is much more streamlined,” said Euloth. “The speed of putting cars through has quadrupled so we’re now able to do between four and five repairs, where we used to only be able to do one or two. This means our students are able to get more experience in the same amount of time.”

Tea and quilt show celebrates centennial Morning Star Staff

In celebration of Armstrong’s 100th anniversary, Abbeyfield House is looking forward to hosting an afternoon heritage tea and quilt show. This event will take place Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. at Abbeyfield House of Armstrong, located at 3725 Wood Avenue. The afternoon will feature displays of items old and new, made by local quilters. The Abbeyfield Society is a non-profit organization that operates homes with a family-styled setting for independent seniors

who no longer wish to live alone. There will be a few items created by Abbeyfield residents, their families and board members on display at the afternoon tea and quilt show Saturday. Quilted items help capture history and culture in many ways, and they have often become treasured mementos of times past and family stories. The tradition of quilting can possibly be traced back to Egyptian times, but it was definitely seen in garments worn by the Crusaders of Europe in the 12th century.

Locally, there is a connection to the Overlanders of 1862 when Catherine Schubert and her family joined a troop travelling by Red River carts to Fort Garry (Winnipeg) heading to the goldfields out west. Her oldest son was to become the great grandfather of well-known quilting expert Carol Cooney of Armstrong, who is involved with the Canadian Quilters’ Association which recently held its national convention in Penticton. Local history was recorded in a special

community quilt project in 2008 as part of the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Crown Colony of B.C. The response led to almost 2,400 squares being created by individuals and organizations. The tea and quilt show Saturday will be held in conjuction with Abbeyfield Week in Canada, which runs June 9 to 14. The Abbeyfield House of Armstrong came about as the result of a bequeath in 2011 from local resident Peter Unrau, who wished to see an Abbeyfield developed on his property.

Okanagan College car raffle benefits trades students Morning Star Staff

for students in the trades. “The car came to us as a bit of a windfall,” said foundation executive director Kathy Butler. “When then donor mentioned she had a Mercedes she wanted to donate to us, it seemed like the perfect way to generate interest about our trades program.” Ute Koessler moved to the Okanagan in 1997 with her family after living in

Vancouver, and soon learned about the college. Koessler had recently donated her late husband Hermann’s entire workshop of tools to the college’s trades department, and thought her white 1989 MercedesBenz 190E, valued at $3,000, would be a perfect addition. “When I heard the college was turning 50, I thought what a great fit for my lovely classic Benz. Better yet, maybe it can help raise some

awareness and funds for the trades school,” she said. “Certainly someone will enjoy showing her around the valley this summer as she has not been out and about that much.” Money raised from the raffle will be going towards trades-based scholarships and bursaries. Only 1,500 tickets are being printed, with a single ticket selling for $5. “It’s really a fun way

to support the college, and get a car to boot,” Butler said. Tickets are being made available for a short window until June 8. Tickets can be purchased at the Okanagan College Foundation office at the Kelowna campus at 1000 KLO Rd., and they will also be sold at the Okanagan College spring convocation June 8. The draw will be held following the ceremony.

Residents should be cautious with bats Morning Star Staff

Bringing your summer gear out of storage? Heading to the great outdoors to open the cabin? It’s important to know that activities like these can result in contact with bats, the primary carrier of the rabies virus in B.C. Rabies is a very serious disease that affects the nervous system. If not treated in time, rabies is almost always fatal. Last year, 39 people in the region were treated for potential exposure to rabies. Treatment, involving a two-week period of vaccinations, must be administered as soon as possible after exposure.

“Between four and eight per cent of the bats that are tested after coming into contact with people are found to have the rabies virus,” said Jennifer Jeyes, communicable disease specialist with the Interior Health Authority. “Most bat-human encounters occur when bats get into houses or summer cabins, usually through open windows, doors, chimneys, or narrow cracks. Attics are a favourite bat refuge. If you come into contact with live or dead bats, it is very important to avoid touching them.” IHA advises that all contact with bats should be taken seriously.

“Anyone who has come into contact with a bat should call the local public health unit or their doctor right away even if you can’t see bite marks or scratches,” said Jeyes. “Bats have tiny sharp teeth and claws, so scratches or bites may not be visible but could still be there. People should not wait for symptoms to appear. Get checked out as soon as possible – early treatment is crucial to prevent the disease from progressing.” IHA offers these tips to protect yourself: Prevention Do not touch live or dead bats. Parents should tell their chil-

dren not to play with or touch bats. Make your home or cabin bat proof. Keep doors and windows closed, make sure window screens don’t have any holes, and keep the attic area free of bats by keeping all vents properly screened and by closing off other openings. Seek professional bat-control advice (from a pest control or wildlife specialist) if your home or workplace or is inhabited by bats. If you have a pet dog, cat, or ferret, make sure they are vaccinated regularly against rabies. If you have been bitten or scratched

Thoroughly wash the wounds with soap and water. Contact your local public health unit or family doctor immediately. Call a wildlife or pest control company to cap-

ture the bat. If trying to capture the bat yourself, avoid contact by wearing leather gloves, a hat, long sleeves, and pants. Safely contain the bat in a secure covered container to prevent others from being exposed.

Keep the bat in a safe location until Public Health can arrange to pick it up and test it for rabies. For more information. go to www.healthlinkbc.ca/healthfiles/ hfile07.stm

THe 26TH annual BC CHIlDren’s HOsPITal’s MIraCle WeekenD

BC Children’s Hospital helps kids get care closer to home Long drives are no big deal for Vernon resident Eric Olsen, but one trip that Olsen, and his wife, Tracey Reade, would rather not make is the five-hour, 450-kilometre trek to BC Children’s Hospital where their five-yearold daughter Morgan Olsen receives care for epilepsy. Olsen drives a truck for a living and is often on the road so he and Reade try to keep their trips to BC Children’s to two days, but this still comes with its share of inconvenience. There’s the cost of travel, missed days of work, and the issue of accommodation. “It’s stressful on the family,” says Reade, noting that the earlier trips were traumatic for Morgan. “She loves travelling now, but the trips were not part of her routine and she didn’t like different hospital settings.” Routine is important for Morgan, who also has autism. Not only does she have to deal with frightening seizures caused by her epilepsy, she is upset by noise and sometimes “melts down,” Reade says. Morgan and her parents have made four trips to BC Children’s Hospital since she was diagnosed in 2007. Fortunately, an initiative of BC Children’s Hospital called Child Health BC has made life easier for the family. Since 2008 Morgan has seen BC Children’s Hospital neurologist Dr. Mary Connolly five times without having to travel further than Kelowna. Connolly has met with Morgan twice in Kelowna,

where she holds a pediatric neurology clinic three times a year, and three times using a video-conferencing facility in Vernon. “The fact that Morgan has had five of nine visits with Dr. Connolly so close to home is exactly what we’re looking for,” says Dr. Maureen O’Donnell, executive director of Child Health BC. Child Health BC’s activities took off after Overwaitea Food Group became the lead benefactor with a pledge of $20 million in support in 2007. TELUS and Scotiabank later made gifts of $5 million and $1 million, respectively. This support had an immediate impact, says O’Donnell. Pediatric clinics established with Child Health BC’s support in Nanaimo and Prince George have thousands of patient visits annually; additional travelling clinics are staffed by BC Children’s caregivers in communities across the province; and over 1,000 health professionals have participated in Child Health BC’s workshops. O’Donnell credits Overwaitea Food Group’s donation with Child Health BC’s growing reach across the province, noting that it’s a perfect fit for an organization with a presence in so many BC com-

munities. Overwaitea Food Group President Darrell Jones agrees. “We’re committed to the health and wellness of kids and families in BC,” says Jones. “We’ve been proud to support BC Children’s Hospital for more than two decades – and with the help of our communities, we’ve contributed millions of dollars toward hospital improvement projects, advocacy programs and important research initiatives. We’re grateful for the amazing support of our local communities, team members, customers and supplier partners who have all played a key role in making this fundraising success possible.” Child Health BC is part of a larger transformation in the way BC’s children receive care, says Larry Gold, president of BC Children’s Hospital and Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children. The transformation also includes the construction of a new BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. “We want to ensure children have access to a consistent standard of care, whether they live in Smithers, Campbell River or Castlegar; and there will always be children who need care that’s only available in a children’s hospital,” says Gold. BC Children’s Hospital Foundation has raised close to $170 million, including Overwaitea Food Group’s gift and $25 million from Teck Resources Limited, in its $200-million capital campaign to support construction of the new hospital and Child Health BC. Gold says that the new hospital, which will open in 2018, will be family-friendly, making it easier for families from outside the Lower Mainland to remain with their children. Beyond the money being raised for the new hospital and Child Health BC, Gold says the hospital also counts on donations of about $14 million a year to support research, equipment purchases and training. On June 1 and 2 BC Children’s Hospital Foundation will hold its annual Miracle Weekend celebration on Global BC, to raise the millions the hospital needs to cover its urgent annual needs. “Every year people from across the province make donations in support of the hospital and it makes a huge difference,” says Gold. “Morgan Olsen is proof of that.” Meanwhile, Reade says her daughter Morgan is happy to be able to attend kindergarten and visit with friends and staff at the NONA Child Development Centre in Vernon where she spends her afternoons. “She’s just a very bubbly, loving five-year-old who loves to dance, colour and do puzzles. We’re grateful to Dr. Connolly and BC Children’s Hospital that she can enjoy these simple things in life.”

JUNE 1 & 2, 2013 On June 1 and 2, tune in to Miracle Weekend, broadcast live from BC Children’s Hospital, on Global BC from 7:00pm on Saturday, June 1 until 5:30pm on Sunday, June 2 The 26th annual BC Children’s Hospital’s Miracle Weekend is a two-day celebration that showcases the best of BC Children’s Hospital: patients, their families, caregivers and supporters who come from every corner of BC. BC Children’s Hospital receives over 200,000 visits from patients from across the province every year. Donations help the hospital deliver the best in care every day, and are helping to prepare for the future by supporting the construction of a new BC Children’s Hospital and better access to care for children in or close to their home communities. Please support BC Children’s Hospital.

At the Overwaitea Food Group, we’re very proud of our longstanding commitment to investing in the health of kids and their families. We’re grateful to everyone who supports us in this effort. Our team members, customers and suppliers have all played a key role in our fundraising success over the years. We’ve been supporting BC Children’s Hospital for more than two decades, and we’ve raised millions of dollars in support of capital improvement projects, important research initiatives and advocacy programs designed to help keep our kids safe by reducing preventable injuries. In 2007, we made a $20 million pledge to support Child Health BC, an initiative of BC Children’s Hospital that helps get kids in BC get the care they need, closer to home. Since then, we’ve raised more than $10.7 million toward our goal, and Child Health BC has been able to put this concept into action in a number of communities throughout BC. We are grateful for the amazing commitment and fund raising efforts driven by OFG team members who encourage the generosity of our customers and suppliers.

United dials up weekend draws Morning Star Staff

After a first-place Kamloops Slurpee Cup showing the weekend before, the United U12 #2 girls earned a pair of Thompson Okanagan Rep Soccer League draws Sunday at McArthur Island Sports Complex in Kamloops. Defender Elena Gaskell had a gem of a match as Vernon tied the Kamloops Blaze Orange 2-2, taking a dangerous corner that the Blaze knocked into their own net. Gaskell scored the late 2-2 equalizer again on a fantastic shot from her own side of half, catching the keeper in no-man’s land. Carl McLennan’s crew finished the day with a 3-3 deadlock with the Penticton Pinnacles. Vernon gave up an early wind-aided goal and fell behind 2-0 before Lynley Gordon Mason led the comeback with a dribbling clinic and nice finish before the break. Abby Williamson shifted the momentum about 10 minutes into the second half with a goal that was called back offside but the girls had Penticton hemmed in their own end. Olivia McLennan deked around the Penticton defence, was hauled down but quickly got back on her feet in time to bury a gorgeous shot. Williamson netted the equalizer by converting on a scramble. In U14 girls play, United brushed back the host Blaze Orange 3-1 with goals from Cayleigh Graham, Jaime Grages and Millie Harron. “The girls controlled the game from the kick-off,” said Vernon coach Michelle Hughes. “We got great back-line play from Emily Clarke, Nina Ogasawara and McKenna Southam, while Sheyna Camalush was awesome in the midfield.” The visiting U15 girls went to 4-1 by ambushing the Kamloops Blaze Orange 7-0 Sunday. Emilee Kronbauer supplied two goals for Vernon, one off a beauty feed from Cailin Correia and another when she took the ball down off her body and quickly turned and kicked a one-timer. Reyhanna Akkurt also scored twice, her first a missile one-timer, the second on a rebound off a Kayci Lesosky shot. Correia, Maddy Laranjo, on a header off the post, and Vicki Grahn, completed the United attack. Jordynne Tomiak recorded her fourth shutout of the season. The U16 girls shut down the host Shuswap Selects 2-0 Sunday, getting offence from Aryanna Jacura and Dayce Knopf.

Julia Kemper registered the shutout as United turned in a gritty team performance. Coach John Hughes gave special props to Tamara Andronik for bold play up front. United U13s moved into top spot with a 2-0 win over Kelowna Sunday at Mission Sports Centre Turf Field. Maja Splawinski and Evan Koshure produced goals for Vernon, who are 5-0-2. The Interior Savings United U11 #1 girls split games in Salmon Arm, losing 2-1 to Kamloops Orange before grounding Kamloops White 3-1.

United took the lead on Kamloops on a nice passing play from centre midfielder Emily Boden to forward Rane Smith, who fed Megan Claeys for a partial breakaway. Kamloops countered with two goals and Vernon hit the crossbar three times in the final minutes seeking the equalizer. Defenders Kelcey Fillion and Sara Beca were solid. Smith pulled the hat trick as United stopped Kamloops White. All of Smith’s goals were assisted by birthday girls Jessica Grages and Anne Cherkowski. Cherkowski and Boden did a great job

Vernon opened the scoring early against Kamloops with Danica Ariano clicking on a deflected long shot. Kamloops went up 4-1 before Grace Atkins and Emilia Durfeld delivered some promising runs for United, who got a penalty-kick goal from Carriere. The United U13 boys split a pair, falling 4-1 to Kelowna Saturday at MacDonald Park and then grounding the Pinnacles 2-1 Sunday at Kings Park in Penticton. Down 3-0 to Kelowna at the half, United defender Adam Raber headed the ball to midfielder Perez Vermeulen, who passed to forward CJ Storey, who fed forward Ben Purvis in front of the net for Vernon’s goal. Penticton opened the scoring in the first half Sunday and Vernon replied a short time later with a great run from Storey, to Vermeulen and finally to Purvis. Midfielder Joe Eggert buried a 20-yard volley for the winner. Vernon (3-1-2) also got solid goalkeeping from Noah Schneider and mighty work from the defensive line of Kody Kongsdorf, Trent Graham, Raber, Jarod Latta and Dylan Huber. Midfielders Braeden Cooper, Bryce Turner, Kazuki Comley and Daniel Paskiewich, along with forwards Chris Atkins and Adam Murdoch, enjoyed firm outings. The U16 boys lost 5-0 to Kamloops Blaze U15 A Blues Saturday at MacDonald Park and bowed 2-1 to host Kamloops U16 Blaze Orange Sunday. Cody Glinsbockel opened the scoring Sunday on a beauty header off a free kick from Bryce Dyck. The Shuswap Selects blanked Vernon 4-0 in U17/18 boys action Sunday at Marshall #4. United U11 boys #1 gained a split in Salmon Arm, dropping just their second regular-season game of the year, 2-1 to Kelowna, before storming Shuswap 5-1.

Jackals manhandle Harlequins Morning Star Staff

Nate Martel collected a trio of tries as the Vernon Jackals pounded the Penticton Harlequins 61-5 in Okanagan Rugby Union play Saturday at Grahame Park. The Jackals overwhelmed the inexperienced Harlequins, with further tries coming from Brian Cragg (2), Garth Cooke (2), Kevin Stecyk and Trevor Miyazaki, who booted eight of nine conversions. “We have to credit Penticton – they had a

lot of their players missing and came to us with a few inexperienced and young players,” said Jackals’ player-coach Mike Scheller. “They played hard, but we had a lot more experience than they did and it showed in the score. “We were the better team in all facets of the game. We executed our game-plan quite well, and our forwards saw a lot of action.” Miyazaki, at standoff, orchestrated the Jackals’ attack, supplying the forwards with a lot of crash ball. Once

Scrum half Tanner N o r d s t r o m - Yo u n g , playing his first game after returning from the University of Calgary, had a solid debut. “His delivery of the ball and situational kicking was good,” said Scheller. Flanker (Kiwi) Dan Eyles was all over the field, as usual, hitting everything in sight. Prop Dallas Agg and hooker Eric Sundquist made some nice tackles and were a force in the rucks and mauls. The 3-1 Jackals host the Salmon Arm/ Enderby Manthers Saturday, 1 p.m. at Grahame.

Kelowna also tops the league in penalty minutes at 328, more than double Vernon’s 143. “They have a good physical presence so we need to work to our strengths and the rest should fall into place,” said Tigers’ assistant coach Keith Hanna, who will be without injured veterans Ryan Sarazin, Theo Wagner and Matt Kolb for Thursday’s tilt. “They have a good fast-break that we have to cut down on. If we can slow that down, it takes away some goals.” Vernon enters the showdown having won a Summer Camps provide boys and girls of all skill levels pair of weekend games. age-specific training in a fun environment.

pretty good,” said Hanna, who called up first-year Midgets Logan Revell, Mitchell Anderson and Brock Wagner for weekend duty. “Both teams had improved quite a bit, which is good for parity in the league.” Vernon got two goals each against Kamloops from Jordan Orr (3A), Quinton Harrish, Nolan Frame and Bayne Bosquet. Liam Drabiuk, Sarazin and Craig Bigsby added singles and Liam MacPhee supplied two helpers. “From back to front we played pretty sound lacrosse,” said Hanna. “Our offence was really spread out, which is really good to see.” Vernon withstood a third-period charge by the 2-5 Flames Sunday and were led offensively by Mason Limb, with 3+3, and Drabiuk and Orr, each with 2+2. Sean Connors (1+2), Jay Seaton (1+2), Daryl Landels, Bigsby, Nolan Frame and Brett Hanna rounded out the attack. Connor Walton had 3+3 for the Flames, who got 2+2 from Chris Pond and Gage Buchanan. In other Sunday action, the Armstrong Shamrocks rallied with four third-period goals to salvage an 8-8 draw with the Venom in Kamloops. Trailing by three goals heading into the final period, the 2-4-2 Rocks got solid goaltending from Cole McFarlane and some stellar shortman play to earn the draw. Nathan Marcetta pocketed the equalizer in the final minute. “They showed a lot of heart and effort,” said Armstrong head coach Bryan Cope. “They’ve come a long ways and you can really see the changes in them. Guys are playing with more confidence and that’s going to make a big difference. The Rocks visit the Flames Friday night. In B.C. Junior A action, Vernon’s Ryan Landels had a goal and two assists as the Port Coquitlam Saints brushed off the Nanaimo Timbermen 14-10 Sunday at the PoCo Rec Centre. Trailing 10-8 after two periods, the 4-5 Saints reeled off six unanswered snipes in the third period to secure the win. The 1-6 Timbermen got 1+2 from Armstrong product Brett Hawrys. Hawrys is tied for 10th in league scoring with 14-13-27 in seven games while Landels is tied for 12th with 13-12-25 in nine games.

The Vernon Kal Tire Canadians were semifinalists at the John Main Pee Wee Baseball Classic last weekend at Kensington Park in Burnaby. The C’s fell 17-7 to the powerhouse White Rock Blues in the semis. White Rock went up 9-0 after one inning, but Vernon showed some life in the fourth when they pushed across five runs on three hits. Dawson Chase hammered a grand slam with Jarod Leroux, Colton Schaper-Kotter and Nick Cherkowski on base. Caden Doyle chipped in with a pair of hits and Issac Olson and Powell Connor each had one. Game MVP went to Carter Morris, who pitched the final two innings, giving up a pair of runs on four hits. The tire crew opened the 16-team tourney with a 17-7 spanking of Richmond. Cherkowski, Chase and Schaper-Kotter shared pitching duties, while at the plate, Doyle, Jaden Parsons and game MVP Chase each contributed two hits. Game MVP Caden Bracken tossed four solid innings as the Canadians ambushed the Surrey Sabres 8-3. Schaper-Kotter struck out five batters and allowed no runs in three innings of relief. Bracken hit 3-for-3 and Cherkowski was 2-for-3. Needing a win to advance to the semis, and trailing by three runs in the final inning, Doyle cranked a grand slam over centre field with two out as Vernon upended the Vancouver Mounties 8-7. Doyle, an easy choice for game MVP, also pitched two innings, allowing one run on one hit after Schaper-Kotter had given up five runs on six hits over three innings. Leroux was on the mound for the final two innings.

Saajan Klair buried a beautiful corner from Liam Reid for United’s goal in the loss. Zach Smith covered huge ground in the midfield, with Keegan Carmichael and Jack Cotter supplying super energy. Reid was a sparkplug and took the Red Robin Man of the Match. Keeper Kevin Morgan registered several huge saves. Vernon dominated Shuswap with Zach Manthorne and Reid providing quality minutes in goal. Morgan led the attack with two goals, with singles going to Smith, Lucas Shuch and Klair. Devin Hofsink and Luc Jones also provided tough defence, and birthday-boy Joel Kongsdorf worked hard on the back line. “The boys showed great passing and ball control in the afternoon game. They continue to impress” said assistant coach James (Left Foot) Cotter. United U11 boys #2 pocketed a tie and a win, drawing 1-1 with Kelowna Bs and clipping Kelowna Reds 1-0. Logan Quibell kept the opener close with some splendid saves and Gavin Medema anchored a back line that stopped many counterattacks. Matt Reich ran miles up front, while Liam Glennon converted a fantastic 30-yard chip shot to put Vernon up 1-0. United displayed the work ethic that has kept them unbeaten since mid-April in the afternoon match with Medema supreme at centre back and Maksim Chirkoff, Tysen

Tiremen down Fireball

Touch Marking

Morning Star Staff

Vernon Kal Tire rolled over Lake Country Fireball 5-2 in Kelowna Men’s Soccer League 35+ action Monday night at Beasley Park. The Tiremen’s leading scorer, Kriss Yargeau, showed he has more than a head game when he buried a ball low to start the scoring. A few minutes later, Jesse Knight pounced on a slow clearing by the Lake Country keeper to deflect the ball into the back of the net. A while later, Ryan Leibel crossed to Geoff Straight, who one-timed the ball in from about 18 yards. The final goal of the half came from Dave Dobernigg, who took a feed from Jason Beck and finished with a 22-yarder. Kal Tire’s final goal came when Bryan Schenker hit a great ball over the scrambling keeper. Lake Country made a push and capitalized on a penalty kick and later on a defensive miscue, to make things interesting. Both teams are 4-3.

Rockets hire O’Rourke Black Press Sports

Not even halfway through his 20s, Mack O’Rourke has already been coaching hockey for seven seasons. The Kelowna product’s latest step up the coaching ladder has landed him a job in the B.C. Major Midget League. O’Rourke, 24, has been named the new head coach of the Okanagan Rockets, taking over from James Eccles. O’Rourke, who coached the last two seasons at the Okanagan Hockey Academy in Penticton, is excited about his latest coaching opportunity back in his hometown. “You get to work with the highestcalibre players in the minor hockey system, and a lot of these guys are high-end WHL draft picks, so the tal-

ent level is very high,” said O’Rourke. “I’m excited about the opportunity here, and the goal is to play for a national championship.” O’Rourke came up as a coach through Kelowna’s minor hockey system and, as an assistant, helped guide Brent Gilchrist’s midget AAA Rockets to the B.C. title in 2010. He spent the last two years in Penticton, where last season he was the head coach of the OHA’s midget AAA varsity team. O’Rourke has also been involved in B.C. Hockey’s High Performance program for the past four years, including working as a head coach at the 2012 U16 B.C. Cup. “Every year at every level, I’ve faced that side of it, being younger than most coaches.”

Two weeks off was not what the doctor order for the lacklustre Silver Stars, 3-2 losers to Lake Country FC in Capri Insurance 45+ League play Monday night at Marshall Field #2. The Silver Stars (3-2) missed a host of chances inside the first 20 minutes, including a penalty kick by toffee Stephen McCourt. Lake Country’s Glen Heagle converted a penalty kick and Neil MacNeil added a second before John Matejka finally countered for the Stars, who pressed for the equalizer before Lake Country’s Steve Reston added an insurance goal just before half time as Ted Lurkin’s new gloves were unable to keep the ball from crossing the line. The Stars picked up their game in the second half with Cam Percy flicking in an Andy Whiston

cross early. Lake Country’s keeper Todd Ryder made a number of world-class saves.

Camels ambush Pushor Mitchell 8-0

The Leko Precast Camels improved to 5-0 by ambushing Pushor Mitchell Advocates 8-0 at Parkinson 16 Field.

Zane Klym, Jim Mottus, Rick Raber and Chris Odermatt also scored for the Humpbacks. Pushor Mitchell keeper Chris Burkitt recorded numerous huge saves, including a toe-stopper on Al Murphy’s low penalty kick. The Advocates are 0-4-2. North Country Appraisals Kickers bounced Bosman Accounting 3-0 at Marshall #1 with Wil Kruiper, Sergio Sartori and Floyd Ryan supplying the goals.

RESPONDER MAKES HIS SECOND BID Stephen Covey, whose most popular book was “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People,” said, “Every human has four endowments: selfawareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom: the power to choose, to respond, to change.” Last week, we looked at opener’s rebids. This week, we turn to the responder and his power to choose his rebid. Assuming that the opener has made a minimum suit rebid, the responder divides his hand strength into three brackets: weak, gameinvitational and game-forcing. If he is weak (6-9 points), he must rebid at the one-level or

in two of a suit already bid by his partner or himself. So, in the given auction with a weak hand, he must pass or bid two spades. Anything else promises more strength. Here, despite his doubleton club, South should rebid two spades. (Yes, it probably would have worked well if East or West had made a takeout double on the first round.) West leads the diamond queen. The defenders take the first five tricks, two in diamonds and three in hearts, then exit with a club. How should South continue? Declarer must play the trump suit without loss. He could cross to his ace, planning to return to the dummy with a club to take a spade finesse on the second round. Or he could

finesse immediately. Since West will have a low singleton spade four times more often than a singleton queen, it is correct to finesse on the first round. When the finesse wins, declarer returns to the board with a club, takes a second spade finesse, and claims.
