Mother duck makes a home in Walmart JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

A mother duck hides amongst rows of plants on a shelf in the garden centre at Walmart, protecting her eggs which are expected to hatch any day now. Visit www.vernonmorningstar.com for a video.
An unusual customer has hatched a home in Vernon’s Walmart. Hidden amongst the rows of plants in the garden centre, a mother duck is nesting her six eggs. The webbed customer has been at the store for approximately two weeks, so it’s expected that her new family could hatch very soon. “It’s got to be any day now,” said Kevin Quist, store manager, of the favoured shelf item – which is not for sale. “It’s really popular with the small little kids, they all want to come because word is starting to get out that we’ve got our own little family of ducks here in our store,” said Quist. “They’re all really curious to see it.” The store has put signs up around the duck’s chosen shelf to alert customers not to touch or get too close. Conservation officers have also been by and advised the store to leave the mother and her eggs until they hatch.
“When the eggs do hatch the conservation officer will come back and gently remove the mother and her little babies and take them off to a safe spot,” said Quist. Until then: “We are just kind of watching it and keeping it out of harm’s way.” The duck was first observed flying over the garden centre fence and hanging around about two weeks ago. “She was wandering around here for the longest time,” said Dave Colville, store manager in training. Then one of the staff members came across the duck nestled between rows of plants on the third shelf of one of the garden racks. “I think he got hissed at,” said Colville. Having a resident duck is a first for the Vernon store, which has had its share of unusual customers, from cats to a turtle, but never a mother duck. Visit www.vernonmorningstar.com for a video of the duck in the garden centre.
Single-vehicle crash claims life of driver ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A single-vehicle rollover accident Thursday morning in Spallumcheen claimed the life of one man. Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP officers and a police traffic analyst were dispatched to the area of Highway 97A and Eagle Rock Road shortly after 6:30 a.m. The intersection is currently under a construction zone. “A construction worker going to work in the area said he saw the vehicle over the bank it appeared there was one person still in it,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The initial investigation has determined a blue Chevy van went off the road on the right-hand side, down an approximate 30-foot embankment and landed on its roof. “The police are continuing the investiga-

tion to determine the cause of this crash,” said Molendyk, adding police believe it’s possible the accident happened an hour or so before the van was discovered. The officers are working with the B.C. Coroners Service to identify the victim. No name had been released by press time. In Vernon, meanwhile, a two-vehicle accident just before 7 a.m. on Highway 6 close to the entrance of Polson Park caused traffic issues Thursday morning. A white Oldsmobile heading west clipped the meridian and ended up in the path of an oncoming white two-ton truck which could not avoid a collision. A significant amount of fuel spilled out of the truck and rolled down the highway. Neither driver was injured. Both vehicles suffered a lot of damage. The driver of the Oldsmobile, a Vernon woman, was charged with failing to keep right.

Zoning amendment promotes high-tech richard rolke Morning Star Staff
AnniversAry smiles lisa vandervelde/ morning star
Trenton Dalzell, three, smiles as he listens to a story at the Vernon library. The Okanagan Regional Library branch on 30th Avenue celebrated its first anniversary Saturday.
Vernon’s economy is being given some room to grow. City council has decided to add three uses to the service commercial zone as a way of expanding the hightech industry. “ We’r e Rob Sawatzky hoping that will give more opportunities,” said Coun. Brian Quiring. The three uses being added to the service commercial zone are business support services, custom indoor manufacturing and high technology research and product design. They were previously only allowed in the business park zone. “This comes out of a workshop with the high-tech sector,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky. “They want zoning in place for areas where it makes the most sense.” One of the challenges facing
Fee places crunch on schools richard rolke Morning Star Staff
A fee that’s placing financial pressure on schools may have to be reversed. Coun. Brian Quiring believes the City of Vernon made a mistake when it decided to start charging a $25 criminal record check fee for adults volunteering in schools. “We were short-sighted in that decision and I Brian Quiring am regretting making that decision,” he said. “I’m not sure what the solution is but we need to revisit the matter.”
The Vernon School District says the fee could cost up to $25,000 a year. “Since the district was not informed of this change in policy, there are no provisions in the district’s budget to deal with this unexpected cost downloading,” said Bill Turanski, school board chairperson. “The district is not faced with the prospect of paying for most or all of the fees relating to criminal record checks as it is not reasonable to expect volunteers to pay for the privilege of offering their services to our students and our schools.” Record checks for all volunteers in the community have been free, but the city decided, as part of its budget, to request $25 to offset costs. “Criminal record checks take a minimum of
one hour and up to several days each depending on the results,” said Patti Bridal, the city’s corporate services manager. “Costs can range from $50 to $500 each, and sometimes higher, depending on how long they take.” Quiring admits the city was trying to reduce its processing costs but insists the move is creating challenges for organizations. “It’s having an impact on people who volunteer.” Beyond schools, Quiring says there is also a need to review criminal record checks for all volunteer activities in the community as volunteers provide a valuable service. “There has to be something done. Maybe it looks like the first one is free,” he said.
high-tech businesses has been finding available land in Vernon either to expand on or to establish a new facility. “Currently, 108 properties in the city are zoned service commercial,” said Dean Strachan, a planning assistant. “By adding business park uses to the C11 zoning district, the number of parcels in the city with appropriate zoning would be increased.” Sawatzky doesn’t believe there will be any conflicts between hightech businesses and other commercial operations located within the service commercial zone. “They are clean and they don’t make noise,” he said, adding that Vernon is attractive to those operating and working in the hightech sector because of its active lifestyle options. “It’s the type of business that fits our niche.” Among the existing uses allowed in the service commercial zone are animal clinics, autobody repair, call centres, commercial storage, funeral services, kennels, pawn shops, retail stores and vehicle sales.

The name change is almost reality. It was announced in April that Kal Tire was taking over sponsorship rights of Greater Vernon’s multi-use facility, and the 43rd Avenue facility will officially be known as Kal Tire Place starting Saturday. “It’s very exciting,” said Tannis Nelson, the Regional District of North Okanagan’s community development co-ordinator. “We’ve been hearing very positive feedback from the community.” All indications of the former name — Wesbild Centre — have been removed but new Kal Tire Place signs won’t likely be installed until July. However, the new name is being promoted in other forms. “The website will be redirected to www.kaltireplace.ca as of Saturday,” said Nelson. “Letterhead and promotional material is also all being updated.” Kal Tire will pay $40,000 annually, over four years, to RDNO for the naming rights, but it has been given a $15,000 reduction in the first-year payment to help with the costs of signs for the building. The agreement includes an option for Kal Tire to renew after four years. With a new name in place, RDNO staff are also reviewing marketing and special event opportunities for the facility. “We are looking at what’s working and where we can make improvements,” said Nelson.

A community asset will soon open its doors in Grindrod. Final construction is currently taking place on the new community hall in Grindrod Park. “We will have the hall to full occupancy status once the siding is up,” said Herman Halvorson, with the Grindrod Recreation Association. The total cost of the hall construction was about $400,000 and completion was accomplished through donations of $20,000 each from the Southern Interior Development Initiative Trust and the Southern Interior Beetle Action Coalition. “Two philanthropists are also providing $500 each,” said Halvorson. The association decided in February 2012 to construct a new facility because the previous hall was built in 1905 and was in poor condition. It’s anticipated the new hall will host a number of events and bookings will be taken soon. “We’re hearing that there’s a lot of interest from people about the facility,” said Halvorson. However, while the facility will be operating, about $100,000 is needed for paving. “We are still looking for community support,” said Halvorson, adding that he has been impressed by the generosity of residents, business and service clubs. The association will hold a fundraising pancake breakfast at the hall Saturday from 8 to 10:30 a.m. To support the fundraising campaign, call Halvorson at 250-8387407 or Lindsay Kibbe at 250-838-6096.

Paving plan draws fire Asphalt upgrades are getting a rough ride in Coldstream. Coun. Maria Besso was the lone opponent to the 2013 pavement management program when it went before council Monday. “I don’t agree with Quirk Drive being done and a lot of things in it,” she said. “I don’t think we’ve had enough discussion on this.” One of Besso’s concerns is that paving along Buchanan Road should coincide with the Maria Besso installation of bicycle lanes. “I’ve heard from people on Buchanan that it’s a road used by cyclists,” she said, adding that there’s no shoulder and cyclists have to travel on the road with vehicles often going a high rate of speed. Staff indicated that the road would have to be widened in places to create bike paths and that would require additional work and funds. Coun. Doug Dirk also stated that bike paths don’t necessarily fit into the district’s priorities. “I don’t want to divert funds from already identified road needs.” That brought a sharp response from Besso. “I’m not wanting to steal money from pavement management. It’s about co-ordinating bike paths

The concept of a new wilderness park in Vernon is moving ahead. City council wants to meet with the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee, the Foothills Community Association and property owners to discuss a more detailed location for a proposed park at the top of the Foothills neighbourhood. “It has some substantial characteristics like natural areas,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham. However, Coun. Bob Spiers is concerned that the current process commits the public to purchasing the private land, which includes

For the record The Morning Star wishes to clarify an article in the May 15 edition about the City of Vernon approving a proposed development on Bella Vista Road. The article should have indicated that resident Rose Pollock is concerned that additional storeys could impact her view and property values.

with pavement management,” she said. “What’s the point of doing paving now and then in a couple of years you do a bike path?” Coun. Pat Cochrane says there is a need to do some research and get specifics on possible construction of bike lanes on Buchanan Road. The 2013 pavement management program includes seven projects at a total cost of $699,000. They include Ravine Drive, Meadow Road, Crestview Drive and two sections of Buchanan Road. There are also eight roads that could be paved if tender submissions indicate there are adequate funds. Among them are Quirk Drive, Lavington Way, Anjou Drive, Bessette Road and Hymar Place.

Move forward (Rob) Ford
A
rmstrong Mayor Chris Pieper faced the two-person media scrum with aplomb and dignity. Pieper admitted the page 7 black-and-white picture of him in a weekly publication dressed in early 20th century garb dancing around a Maypole at Armstrong Elementary School was, in fact, him. “It was a lot of fun, too,” said Pieper, who took some good-natured ribbing from his council members over his Maypole dancing ability. Pieper fully admitted to taking part in the annual Maypole dance event, a longstanding tradition in Armstrong. He was dressed in centennial Roger Knox gear because – in case you haven’t heard yet – the City of Armstrong is celebrating its 100th birthday this year. Pieper is also the same mayor who appeared on the front page of The Morning Star a couple of years ago when he decided to christen the new swimming pool at Memorial Park by doing a cannonball off the diving board. “At least it’s been a better week for me than Rob Ford,” joked Pieper on Monday. Ah yes, Rob Ford. Toronto mayor. May or may not have smoked crack cocaine which was allegedly captured on video. (You mean you haven’t heard about this? How have you not heard about this? It’s in Toronto, the centre of the universe.) Let’s see if I can condense this brewing scandal. Reporters and an editor from two media outlets say they have seen a mobile device video allegedly showing Ford smoking crack. The owners of the alleged video have made it clear they want money for it. One U.S. online publication raises $200,000 but then announce they can’t make contact
At rAndoM
again with the alleged video owners. Ford initially said the existence of the video was “ridiculous.” He didn’t say anymore until a press conference, on the advice, he said, of his lawyer, and steadfastly announced, “I do not use crack cocaine, nor am I an addict of crack cocaine.” Ford’s chief of staff was fired. Two other staff members resigned. The Globe and Mail reported that Ford’s brother Doug, a Toronto city councillor, had allegedly sold hash in the 1980s in his teens. The paper said the story came from 18 months of research, and was reviewed by its legal team. It also said the story relied heavily on unnamed sources. Doug Ford categorically denied the story. On his weekly radio show, Rob Ford called journalists “a bunch of maggots.” He apologized the next day for the remark. Current Toronto councillors not named Ford say the story is becoming too much of a distraction. The same sentiment has been expressed by former Toronto mayors and Ontario’s premier. Did Rob Ford smoke crack cocaine, and was it captured on video? I don’t know. I haven’t seen the alleged footage. But I do agree that the scandal is preventing Ford from doing his job 100 per cent to the best of his ability. My word, who could do it with such scrutiny and under such duress? Comparing Pieper and Ford is, I realize, a very large stretch. Pieper, after all, doesn’t have his own radio show. Nor has he called local media “maggots.” But maybe Rob Ford should take a page from Pieper’s book and dance around a Maypole or do a cannonball into a community swimming pool. It would help with his public image which, frankly, could use an extreme makeover right about now.
At least twice each year we see a real push from police against drinking and driving. Once at Christmas and again in the spring. At Christmas, age is not a consideration for police, but in springtime, the target group is clear. Drinking drivers tend to be younger in spring around graduation time. More than two years ago the province introduced Canada’s toughest impaired driving laws and the number of alcohol-related motor vehicle deaths went down by half. But drinking alone is still a threat to our youth, whether they get behind the wheel of a car or not. From risky sexual behaviour to an increase in physical and sexual assaults to death from alcohol poisoning, the risk to youth from excessive alcohol use or drinking to get drunk, is real. With any luck, the days of parent-sanctioned “wet” grad parties are a thing of the past. As parents, it’s our job to make the tough decisions – even if they are not the most popular ones with our kids. All their lives we’ve made decisions for our children based on what we think is best for them. We’ve denied them sugary cereals. We’ve made them eat their broccoli. We’ve strapped unwilling toddlers into car seats, because it’s the safest way for them to ride. It may not be the easiest thing you’ve done lately, but convincing your teen that drinking alcohol to celebrate is not a necessity and could bring them harm in ways other than the risk of driving drunk will make everyone feel better in the morning. ---Victoria News

O
referendum required More and more information on the negative impact on the health of humans, animals and plants by genetically modified crops is being made public. The GMO industry calls it pseudo science in spite of the fact that most claims by the industry have been, in the long run, proven to be false. While the GMO industry in the U.S. is regrettably in full swing and is global in scope, mainly due to the enormous pressures being put on politicians by lobbyists, campaign contributions and revolving door situations to licence GMOs, we, in Canada, have fortunately shown some resistance to GMOs. However, since the approval processes in Canada are apparently partially financed by corporations seeking approvals, our licensing bodies are put in an awkward position of having corporations exerting undue influence on the decisionmaking process. GMO corporations are now seeking approval to introduce genetically modified alfalfa in Eastern Canada. If GM alfalfa is approved in Eastern Canada, all local dairy products will be contaminated by GMOs and, due to cross-pollination, all alfalfa in Canada will ultimately be contaminated. Do we really need this?
#
The ultimate and totally unnecessary result of genetically modified food is that every Canadian, from newborn to senior, from poor to rich, without exception, will have no choice but to eat GM contaminated food, and all this only for the single purpose of giving the GMO industry patent-protected power to extract millions from food growers. According to evidence-based reports, there is absolutely no need to take risks with GMO crops when effective, readily available and sustainable solutions to the problems that GMO technology is claimed to address already exist. Nature has provided us with wholesome food for thousands of years and for this reason alone, there is no need to upset the natural balance. Mr. Harper, it is our elected government's duty to protect the health of its citizens. Since GMOs affect everyone of us, we, the citizens who live in a democracy, should have the final say on GMOs by means of a binding referendum which could be held as part of the next federal election. The final approval decision should not be in the hands of bureaucrats who seem to be more concerned about political fallout or effects on their professional future. My plea to you, Mr. Harper, is that you put any future decisions on

great aplomb near (I assume) her brother. Then I asked myself: This is odd: where are the big kids? The skateboard park should be very busy at this time of day and in this weather. I glanced around. There they were, sitting together on the small set of bleachers, waiting and watching. By the time the stoplight changed to green, I had concluded that the big kids had given the park to the little ones for a while so they could play safely. I was quite moved by their thoughtfulness. Those kids are all right. maxine Glover

n our first sunny, warm Friday afternoon at around 3 p.m., while at a stop light, I found myself gazing at the skateboard park. It was empty except for three very small children: one tiny girl with a tiny bike, a tiny boy with a skateboard, and a slightly bigger boy with a bike (all with helmets). I watched as the little girl maneuvered her bike up to the top of the rise, under the watchful eye of her mother. Was the little girl going to cycle down into the bowl of the skateboard park? She took the sloping outer perimeter path down into the bowl, braking with

GMOs on hold until we , the people, have made a final and binding decision on GMOs at election time and regain personal control over what we eat. Casey Berlanda laCk of restraint Regarding the May 5 letter from Judy Campbell. I am glad to read that other taxpayers in this town are worried about our elected civic officials. I too have voiced my opinion over this council's lack of restraint in this economically tough times. The core review has many good things to say and many things that are, to say the least, hard to achieve But I disagree with Judy on several points. The municipality should be stricter in enforcing recycling and by doing this, we could have biweekly garbage pick-up. Compostable items should go in a special container (supplied at cost) and be picked up along with yard trimmings as this makes great fertilizer for gardens, a process I am committed to and apartments can do this also. I only require garbage pick-up once every two weeks. When we all voiced our opinions on the core idea, the one thing we all wanted was openness and the staffing we presently have.
For the most part, we have openness as the report was put on the net. But as for the part that most of us wanted to see, the staffing, this has to be done in confidence, which is a crock. All they have to do is say how many overall staff we have in city hall and works yard. They do not have to say what departments as that is private, but we must have numbers before the union and city hall hash it out. The union does not run the city, we do through our elected officials. It is time that the taxpayers of Vernon stand up for how our money is being spent and who runs city hall. Why did the core report not include the 30th Avenue upgrade and the sports field (you could have waited for the referendum), or were you afraid that you would get a negative report? The same should be said for Polson greenway project, the art gallery and museum. They talked about O'Keefe Ranch, and other attractions. If anyone reads this and agrees or disagrees, send in your letters to the editor, send e-mails to the council and if you are still not happy, then at election time, let's give them all the boot.

“It was a great day for everyone,” said Sue Beaudry, with the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation. “When it was over, the event had netted more than $121,000.” The funds will go towards the foundation’s $2.5 million fundraising goal to complete the two top floors in VJH’s Polson tower. “We are grateful for the continued support of Predator Ridge and its members, and our title sponsor Kal Tire,” said Beaudry. “This will certainly set the campaign on the right path to reach the campaign goal.” Hole sponsors gave special attention to the golfers by offering fun, beverages and treats during the event. “Golfers selected Armstrong’s Shepherd’s Home Hardware and Building Centre as their favorite hole,” said Beaudry. “Golfers were swayed by the Mexican fiesta theme, complete with sombreros, fajitas and margaritas.” Former LPGA pro A.J. Eathorne was the emcee for the event and she awarded $10,000 worth of prizes, donated by Predator Ridge, before dinner. Besides Kal Tire and Predator Ridge, the other event sponsors were Wayside Press, Silver Star Mountain Resort, Graham Construction, Nixon Wenger, Stutters Disaster Kleenup, Capri Insurance, Kiss FM, Telus, Vernon Home Building Centre and Okanagan Spring Brewery.

Family seeks return of unmistakable cat ‘Lou’ Morning Star Staff
The disappearance of an unforgettable, furry face from a Bella Vista home has left a hole in the hearts of his family. Loungo, a five-year-old male exotic short-haired silver tabby, slipped out of his home May 23 from the Sunnyview/ Orchard Hill road area. “Lou is a very special and treasured family member deeply missed by all,” said Elizabeth Coss. His looks are unmistakable, with large round copper eyes, a flat face and upside down mouth. “It is possible someone has found him and fallen in love at first sight such as we had when we first met Lou.” The friendly feline responds to his name when called, does tricks and according to the Coss’ he is emotionally attached to his family. “Our hearts are broken.” The family is asking residents in the

A local organization is celebrating two decades of making a difference in the lives of youth. The North Valley Gymnastics Society will hold a 20th anniversary public open house Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. at 2707 45th Ave. (near Canadian Tire). “We invite the community to come out and help celebrate the growth of gymnastics in the North Okanagan with fun, food, fitness, prizes, and friends,” said Pamela Hargreaves, with the club. There will be free gymnastics time for families, demonstrations every hour from noon to 3 p.m. by the club’s competitive gymnasts and a barbecue benefitting KidSport and Canadian Tire Jumpstart charities. There will also be a birthday cake, art activities, a video show and scrapbooks, and memorabilia will be on display. “Visitors will be able to get more information on gymnastics programs, sign up for summer camps, book a birthday party, meet the coaches, staff, and members of the current and original board of directors,” said Hargreaves. North Valley Gymnastics incorporated as a society in 1993 and its programs were based out of Beairsto Elementary School. “The number of gymnasts registered per session

was just over 200,” said Hargreaves. “While at the Beairsto gym, the number of gymnasts would peak at 225 per session, with 100 kids on a wait list.” Fast forward to 2012, and the club moved into the 45th Avenue facility with 378 gymnasts registered per session. “In January 2013, the floor space of the facility was doubled to accommodate the demand,” said Hargreaves. “The gymnastics club exists for the community, and it would not have survived and thrived were it not for the enormous support of the community and the dedication of special individuals. The open house is a celebration of the community’s support and an honouring of all those individuals who worked tirelessly to help realize the club’s vision over the past 20 years.” For more information, go to www.nvgym.com or call 250-558-5136.

Kalamalka Rotarians and volunteers are rolling up their sleeves in celebration of International Trails Day Saturday. Crews will be digging out a new trail behind Venture Training, on the historic Vernon ski hill and ski jump. The trail will eventually connect Old Kamloops Road with the Turtle Mountain section of the Gray Canal trail. “Creating this trail has been on the back burner for many years but funding has not been available,” said Ken Beall with the Ribbons of Green Trail Society. “Kal Rotary started planning this project last year and now it looks as if it will be built.” The trail is on a steep section of land and the trail will be cut into the slope by hand. It will be a hiking grade trail about 12-16 inches wide in order to prevent over-scarring the hill. “The view from the trail is breathtaking,” said Beall. While Kal Rotary is building the trail, it is expected the city will complete the construction and fencing of the bottom gentlesloped part of the trail in time for

Kickers spread attack against NOU Morning Star Staff
Vernon Chick Kickers used a balanced attack in a 5-1 win over North Okanagan United Tuesday night at Marshall Field #2. The Kickers improved to 4-1-2 for sole possession of third place in the Masters Division of the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association. Carly Bibby gave NOU (2-2-3) the lead before Kelly Challen started off the Chicks’ offence after chasing down a through ball from Jen Sorochuk, who had just collected a Colline Johnston clearing from the Chicks’ zone. Minutes later, Michelle Johnston fired the ball past keeper Dar Wiesse far side after receiving a pass back from Jen Garnett, who did a jaw-dropping job of keeping the ball in play on the back line. Garnett finally got her first of the season after numerous great chances. Crystal Bergman, with the prettiest goal of the game, a left-footer from the 18, and Tania Sladen, on a header from a great Michelle Johnston corner, completed the scoring. Robyn Sherwood was steady in net as always, recording one spectacular stretch save. The Controllers were looking to get their struggling offence going and they succeeded in a 6-3 win over the ever-improving Seasons Sista’s at Marshall #5. Fifteen minutes in, Amy Shupe took a Michelle Mercer offering and drilled a low shot far corner past Sista’s keeper Wendy Nadeau. Minutes later, Shupe returned the favour setting up Mercer for a tap in for Mercer’s first goal this century. Pesky Sherri Wiebe scored for Sista’s when her penalty kick from the 12-yard line went off the crossbar and bounced behind the line before returning to the field.

Bonnie Mann (left) of the Chick Kickers and Sarah Kwantes of NOU race for a loose ball in North Okanagan Women's Soccer Association Masters Division play Tuesday night at Marshall Field #2. The Controllers’ Felicia O’Gorman restored the two-goal lead driving her penalty kick low to the corner past Nadeau. Andy Zubot, with a brilliant effort, ran down a through ball from Kateri Mills, and chipped it over onrushing keeper Mickey Templeton for one of the nicest goals this season. It was 3-2 Controllers at the break. O’Gorman broke past the defence and
drilled a low shot past Nadeau to make it 4-2. Nadeau then made a dynamic diving save on a Shawn Yargeau penalty kick, but Yargeau was first to the rebound and drove it past a prone keeper. O’Gorman’s header, after a Michelle Wernicke corner, was denied on another great save by Nadeau, but Jacquie Nuyens pounced on the rebound for the 3-3-1
Khiran O’Neill, Damian Adams, Keefery Joyce, Mike Barrajon and returnee Albert Goldnik. When Turn-Key did break through, Camels’ goaltender Ryan Campbell was steady. He robbed Nolan’s Pharmasave Man of the Match Preston Tucker on a free kick that looked destined for the back of the net. Campbell finished with several clutch saves and owned all the high balls to earn Browns Socialhouse Man of the Match. Towards the end of the half, the Camels started making ground, and the even play
carried into the second half where both teams created a few chances at goal. Midway through the second half, Keenan Jespersen used his pace to outfox a Turn-Key defender in the box, but he was brought down clumsily. Up stepped Enzo Paal, who coolly slotted home the resulting penalty. Turn-Key nearly earned the equalizer when a ball was fired goal-bound, but Joyce slid in to clear it off the line. Concept Physio/Peters Tirecraft earned its first NOSL win of the season with a 1-0
Controllers’ last tally. Roadrunner Kim Sylvester added a late goal for 0-6 Sista’s, taking a feed from Wiebe and deking Templeton. Lisa Geary of Sista’s was her feisty self controlling the midfield with scoring threats of her own. Wendy Horner, who gets better each week, delivered several fine rushes and passes for Sista’s, just missing on a one-timer in tight. Newbie Krista Blankley ran like an unwanted wind, relentlessly giving the Controllers problems, and save-the-day rookie Tammy Buick ran back hard and caught rushing forwards. The Longhorn Impact iced Goplen’s Drillers 3-0 at Marshall Field #4. The Drillers welcomed new coach Alistair Duncan, who praised the team for their inspired second-half play. Karen Zupp had a strong game playing defence and forward for the Drillers, while Kelly Megyesi challenged several players on head balls. Aggie Goliniski and Karinda McGaw, both second-year players, demonstrated excellent checking, sticking close to the speedy Impact forwards to minimize scoring chances. Jodi Peshko and Barb Levesque patrolled the half line, calmly distributing the ball. In Division 1 action, Dr. Lee’s Dental levelled the season series with Little Tex by stopping the Outlaws 3-1 at Marshall #3. Delinah Erbenich opened the Floss crew scoring four minutes in, set up by Jacquie Hansen. Irene Arrotta made it 2-0 10 minutes later on a penalty after Erbenich was taken down by the keeper on a breakaway. Three minutes before the half, Fairfield Inn Lady of the Match Leah Frye sent a corner to Hansen, who converted to make it 3-0 at the half.

Humpbacks squeak past Turn-Key in men’s soccer showdown Morning Star Staff
It was a battle of two similar teams looking to gain traction in the North Okanagan Soccer League, and it resulted in a tightly contested affair Wednesday night on Marshall Field #2. The Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels FC hung on for a 1-0 win over Turn-Key FC in the all-Vernon showdown. Turn-Key, now 3-3, carried the play early with some stellar ball movement, but they had multiple through balls disrupted by the 4-2-1 Camels’ back line of
decision over the last-place Salmon Arm Outlaws on Marshall #5. Tirecraft, now 1-5-1, pushed hard against the Outlaws and generated many quality chances, but they squandered most of them on poor finishes at the end of some very good runs. The winner came on a corner that Riley Strothers helped into the net. The league-leading Salmon Arm Courvas thumped North Enderby Timber 3-0 on Marshall #1.

Marzocco lights up for Legends Morning Star Staff
Brady Marzocco recorded the hat trick as the North Okanagan Legends cruised to a 6-1 win over the Penticton Heat in Bantam A lacrosse play Saturday at the Summerland Arena. North Okanagan outshot Penticton 44-27 and held period leads of 1-0 and 5-1. Other offence coming from Conor Webb (1+2), Brett Olsen and Chase Wirth. Jayden Jensen-Hunter and Nicholas Mann each had one assist. In Pee Wee B action, North Okanagan bowed 8-6 to the Kelowna Kodiaks last Thursday at Priest Valley Arena. The short-benched Legends kept up with the Kodiaks for much of the first period, and headed into the break trailing 3-2 on a pair of goals by Caedon Bellman. The Kodiaks took advantage of the long change in the second period, using fresh legs to outrun North Okanagan to loose balls and build up a 6-2 lead. Great goaltending by Brayden Leveille and solid defence from the always-reliable Sorcha Pasco, Jacob Brewer, Matthew Latham-Watt and Dawson Kerkhoff kept the game close. Jaxxon Collard recorded the Legends’ second-period snipe. After a stern talk from head coach Casey Sherriff about getting to loose balls, the Legends came out flying in the third period, with the sniper duo of Bellmann and Collard each finishing the night with a hat trick. The Cenovus Energy Legends had a draw and a loss against the Kamloops Venom in a Midget doubleheader. Zach Kuperus and Conner Forrest supplied the offence as North Okanagan ran to a 2-2 draw in the opener. Jacob Riva collected two assists and Kyle Dennis and goalie Darnell Hauca each had one. Dennis took a hit before dishing to Forrest for the late equalizer. Richard Thompson had two goals and

The Bantam #2 Legends grabbed three of four weekend points, opening with a 5-5 draw against Penticton in Summerland. Travis Aeichele connected twice to lead the North Okanagan attack, singles coming

Blazers unravel Wrap Zone defence Continued from A18
The defensive line of Kim Teichman, Bobbi Cormier, Loren Brunelle and Toni Bensmiller held the speedy Little Tex forwards at bay, allowing a goal with 15 minutes left. Lisa Arrotta made some key saves in the first half for Dr. Lee’s (6-1), while Stephanie Wilson, Ally Dodds, Lori Shippy and Jenessa Moore ran miles in the midfield. The Outlaws are 3-2-2. Ali Clarke and Jeruscha Bahmuller each scored twice as the AF Blazers bottled up Wrap Zone 7-1 Tuesday at Marshall #1. Shantell Hayhurst jumpstarted the 3-3-1
Kamloops repels Rocks
Blazer attack by converting a cross from Clarke. Jenny Hatten put the Blazers up by a deuce, knocking in the rebound off a Hailey Woon shot. Bahmuller and Clarke each added singles, both off Woon feeds, to end the half. Bahmuller used her dominating play in the middle to net her second of the game early in the final half. Clarke added another before Valentina Correale scored her first of the season with a nifty curving shot. Wrap Zone used a late defensive miscue by the Blazers with Samantha Knight spoiling Katie Hatten’s shutout bid. Amanda Swales, Amber Maltman and
Jeanette Maleska were outstanding on the Blazer defence, while Emma Rimmer and Holly Wylie had strong showings in the midfield. Carol Ann Bourdon showed initiative in moving the ball around for the Wrap Zone, while Faith Douma, Harmony Crockett and Cassidy Ondzik had solid outings. Glenn Power of Salmon Arm edged visiting NET Celtics 1-0 at Blackburn Park. The Celtics enjoyed numerous chances but were stymied by the Power keeper. The Shuswap ladies snuck one past Celtic keeper Charmaine Biagioni, who made some huge top-cheese saves to keep it close.

A superb third period wasn’t enough to erase a sluggish start by Armstrong Shamrocks Wednesday night at Kamloops Memorial Arena. Trailing the host Rattlers 7-0 after one period, the Rocks closed the gap before falling 9-6 in the Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League showdown. Armstrong starter Brett Logan gave up goals on the 4-1 Rattlers’ first four shots, and was quickly relieved by Chad Pieper. With Chad Pounder, Hans Van Dursen and Shaun Koenig serving suspensions, the 1-5 Shamrocks played with 13 runners. Milan Marcetta led the attack with three goals, with singles coming from Steve Clark, Brennan Plante and Jamie Cockerill. The ageless Pat Nelson chipped in with four assists. Said Armstrong head coach Glenn (Stumpy) Mitchell: “We came out asleep in the first, however we made some adjustments in between periods, and played a good second period, and I think we played our best period of the year in the third.” Former Shamrock AJ Lockwood paced the Rattler attack with 2+4, while Mark Jurista and Riley Donahue each chipped in with 2+3, Rylan Derose had a pair and Travis Joseph scored once. The Shamrocks host the 3-2 Kelowna Raiders tonight (7:30) at the Nor-Val Sports Centre.

Black inks with ‘Backs Graeme Corbett Morning Star Staff
Aaron Volpatti, Chris Crowell, twins Connor and Kellen Jones, Hunter Bishop, Kyle Bigos, Adam Tambellini – these are all players who wore a Vernon Vipers’ jersey thanks in part to Larry Black. As head scout for the Vipers for the last six years (he was a regional scout for five years before that), Black helped source the talent that won the Snakes back-to-back Royal Bank Cup Championships in 2009 and ‘10, plus a runner-up showing in ‘11. Unable to come to a new Larry Black contract agreement with the Vipers, Black, who turns 65 in July, will now be plying his trade with the rival Salmon Arm SilverBacks as their new assistant GM and director of player personnel. “It was totally a financial decision,” said Vernon head coach/GM Jason Williamson. “We wanted to keep Larry Black as part of the Vernon Vipers. We just couldn’t meet the financial needs, and Salmon Arm offered that and more.” Black (affectionately known as Blackie to friends and colleagues) was also disappointed a deal couldn’t be reached, especially with Vernon hosting the RBC Cup in May 2014. But he understands the business side of junior hockey, and he is now looking forward to rekindling a partnership with Salmon Arm head coach/GM Troy Mick. The two previously worked together when Mick coached Vernon from 1997-2000. “It’s been a bit of a shock. It’s tough getting my head around going to work for another team,” said Black. “But I’m excited to get back working with
Troy. We’ve worked together well in the past and I respect his abilities as a general manager. It’s a good opportunity for me.” Black’s appointment will help free up Mick to focus more on his duties as head coach. Last season, Mick stepped away from the bench early on to focus more on front office operations and scouting. Said Mick: “Larry brings a wealth of knowledge to the SilverBacks, on and off the ice. He is a proven winner and has an eye for recruits like no other.” Black, a Revelstoke native, ran the Grizzlies Junior B program there for six years in the 90s. At the time, the team was affiliated with Mike Vandekamp’s Merritt Centennials, and when Vandekamp joined the Vipers as head coach in 2001-02, he brought Black on as a regional scout. Black lives in Vernon with wife Gay (he has three grown children and five grandchildren all living in the area), and has worked with five Vernon head coaches in 11 years – Vandekamp, Mick, Bernie Pimm, Mark Holick, Mark Ferner and Williamson. In place of a head scout, Williamson plans to use a system of regional talent seekers throughout North America to assess players. He added this is typical of how other BCHL teams operate. Meanwhile, the SilverBacks announced the finalized sale of the team by Randy Williams to a new ownership group led by majority owner Dale Unruh of Fort MacMurray. Unruh is the CEO of the Quality Group of Companies and is on the executive committee of Edge School society board, an Alberta sports academy located near Calgary. “Our group is extremely proud and grateful to be involved with the Salmon Arm SilverBacks and the Salmon Arm community at large,” said Unruh, who will also serve as the SilverBacks’ governor.

C’s storm Mariners Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Canadians grounded the host Kelowna Mariners 16-6 in Sunday’s final of a Pee Wee A Baseball Tournament at Lombardy Park. Tourney MVP Landen Harison, Matthew Hansen, Ryan Gamage and Brady Beacom ignited the Vernon offence with first-inning singles. Koll Cherkowski pitched the opening 2 1/2 innings and provided three assists and one strikeout. Alyssa Racine turned a double play after catching a hard liner in the first, while Hansen made a diving catch in left field for the first out in the second. Tyson Sampert stroked a single in the second, while Racine and Nakoda Parker delivered doubles. The third inning saw Cherkowski, Dakota Becker and Jackson Soucy all hit and score with some clutch base stealing. Sampert crushed a monster two-run homer in the fourth after Beacom reached first with a single. In the fifth, Ethan Eisenhauser, Parker and Soucy all singled and scored, while Becker smacked a double down the third base line. Hayden Lewis relieved Racine on the hill in the fifth and Lewis started the sixth with a double to right, followed by a Beacom double. The Canadians earlier ripped Rutland 15-5 (Christopher McIntosh MVP), mauled the Mariners 21-7 (Lewis MVP), grounded the Kelowna Raiders 16-3 (Parker MVP) and shaded the Rutland Bullets 14-13 (Harrison MVP). A pair of Vernon players boosted the Rutland Rockies to third place in their home Bantam AA tournament last weekend. Jake Holland, a catcher, and Kadyn Thomas, who pitches and patrols shortstop, helped Rutland go 2-1 in pool action before bouncing West Kelowna 11-4 for the bronze medal. Holland collected a tournament all-star by going 6-for-10 at the plate, while Thomas provided stellar defence and clutch hits. Rutland lost 11-5 to Prince George before blanking West Kelowna 8-0 and bouncing Burnaby 7-5 in preliminary play. The Rockies then fell 7-5 to
Tsawwassen in the semifinals. Meanwhile, Dylan Emmons of Vernon got the start Sunday as the Okanagan Athletics ambushed the Victoria Eagles 6-2 in B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League action Sunday at Elks Stadium in Kelowna. Emmons went four innings, allowing two hits and no walks with three strikeouts for the win. Colton Schaper-Kotter drove in six runs on three dingers as the Kal Tire Pee Wee AA Canadians knocked off the Rutland Rockies 9-8 in league play Wednesday night. Jarod Leroux went 3-for-4 and drove in Carter Morris with the winning run in the top of the sixth. Caden Doyle delivered a triple for the 4-0 C’s, who host West Kelowna for a Saturday twinbill (11 a.m., 1:30 p.m.) and entertain Rutland for a pair Sunday (same times) at Creekside Park. The redhot Five Star Award Blue Jays outlasted the Wayside Press Black Ninjas 20-15 in Mosquito baseball action Tuesday night at Lakeview Park. Nolan Stein was 4-for-4 with a triple and three RBI, while Michael Preston went 4-for-4 with an RBI to spark the Jays. Jacob Green and Jace Weir each pocketed three hits. In other Mosquito play Tuesday, Morgan’s Glass Yellow Lightning shattered the Best Western Red Sox 12-8. Easton Rayner turned in a superb game at catcher, while Seiji Bott pitched two solid innings for the Bolts. Sapien Joe of the Sox recorded a nice squeeze play at third, while Delaney Marchand did a Major League celebration after a diving catch in centre field. The Vernon Sun Dial Canadians played their best Midget game of the year Monday night, defeating the previously undefeated Kelowna Rock 9-3. Stellar pitching from Tyler Lacktin Doyle and Shelby Hartwig held K-Town to eight hits. Keenan Joly-Hallas and Hartwig both rung up two hits and two RBI, while Landon Currie went 3-for-4 with one ribbie.

Morrison magic for Mangos
James Morrison made his U13 boys debut in net and made several clutch saves as the Mangos brushed back the Reds 3-1 Saturday at Marshall Field. Nick Mitchell opened the scoring on a sweet solo effort after swiping the ball deep in the Reds’ zone. Garrett Birch netted the second Mango goal after a feed by Mitchell, while Brendan Whitmore danced down the end line chalk before burying a hard, low shot. Central defender Jade Kronbauer was marvellous for the Mangos, taking the Burger King Man of the Match. Tye Cooke also sparkled and ripped a corker off the crossbar for the Mangos. Brett Hansen, who was dangerous all afternoon, scored for the Reds, who got a strong showing from defender Keeghan McRae. First-place Navy and the White Pandas battled to a scoreless draw in other U13 action. Ethan White and Noah Cooper shared the shutout for Navy, who held a wide shot on goal margin.

Despite a lacklustre first-half performance by NET (3-3), it was scoreless at the half thanks to an all-planet save by keeper Brent Poulsen, who made a diving two-pad stack on a Courvas striker who had a tap in on the goal line. Courvas, who improved to 6-1, opened the scoring early in the second half after a cross to a player who tapped the ball in from inside the six. An miscommunication in NET’s end led to a Courvas breakaway for the second goal. A lucky deflection capped off the scoring. Adam Marwood had a solid game on the timbermen back line. The match between Monashee Surveying (2-3-1) and Eagle Homes Nation of Domination (3-1-1) was rescheduled due to injuries and work commitments.

High school choices grow paul britton Special to The Morning Star
It used to be so easy for parents and students this time of the year. In May, most high school students have selected their courses for next year and are not really thinking too much of it. Select a math course, a science course, a socials course, an English course and then a few electives and you’re done. Times have changed drastically and both parents and students need to do their research. With the new graduation program, all students have the capabilities of graduating by the end of their first semester of Grade 12. Many colleges are now adjusting programs so a high school student could be graduating at the end of January and be a college student by the start of February. This would be an ideal transition plan for any student but it usually only works out for a very few. What students should be doing is taking advantage of a few of the Industry Training Authority and Ministry of Education programs that allow students to enrol in college programs while completing their Grade 10, 11 and 12 years. The best part is that tuition is paid by the school district. And currently, many of the colleges are covering additional costs like
books, travel and extra student fees. Two of the most popular ITA programs include ACE-IT (Accelerated Credit Enrolment for Industry Training) and SSA (Secondary School Apprenticeship). The main difference between the two programs is that ACE-IT is school-based and SSA is workplace based. Like other apprentices, secondary school apprentices are responsible for finding an employer who will hire them and commit to their training as a sponsor. By registering as a secondary school apprentice, you will be able to earn dual credit for the work you’re already doing, become eligible for a $1,000 scholarship, and get a head start on earning your trade certification. Students now have the opportunity to enrol, not only in all the trades programs, but almost any certificate program offered at the college level. The most popular in our school district is the Okanagan College office assistant program. Just to demonstrate the type of savings that families can realize, the cosmetology (hairdressing) program offered at Pleasant Valley Secondary is tuition free and the students only purchase their kits ($850) which they take with them after they

graduate. The typical tuition to become a hairdresser in B.C. can range from $5,000 to $20,000. I encourage all parents and students to contact the career counsellor at your local high school. We are currently accepting applications for the February 2014 cosmetology class. This is open to all current Grade 10 and 11 students in the Vernon School District and North Okanagan Shuswap School District. Paul Britton is the career programs co-ordinator at Pleasant Valley Secondary in Armstrong and has been involved in career programs in B.C. for more than 25 years. He once worked as the provincial co-ordinator for the secondary school apprenticeship program.

Safe driving course offered
InterfaIth Project
Morning Star Staff
Safe driving is important for everyone. There’s no substitute for the experience gained by older drivers. But as drivers age, experience can’t always make up for the physical changes age brings. By learning about the most common aging issues facing older drivers, it is much easier to address them. The City of Vernon RCMP Safe Communities Unit and BCAA will host a safe driving workshop June 10 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Splatsin Health Centre (5775 Old Vernon Rd. in Enderby). Join rural programs co-ordinator
Warren Smith and learn more about the aspects of driving while in your senior years. “The workshop itself covers topics such as staying safe on the road, planning to stop driving, staying mobile and the DriveAble program,” said Smith. The workshop is a two-hour session. Part of it is a self-assessment that is done by the participant. This information is confidential and can be used as a tool by the participant to evaluate their driving status. For more information or to register for this program contact the Safe Communities Unit at 250-550-7843.

ue the WellTempered Clavier, powder that up-do wig, bust out the corset, and get ready to rock rococo style at one of the biggest, and slightly secretive, fashion and art events to hit the Okanagan. Combining the fashion sense of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, with added modern flair (think leather and lace), and you get the idea of A Rock ‘n Rococo Affair, the latest couture fashion show being put on by Kip Jon Productions. The company, owned and operated by Vernon’s Kip Whelpley, has held similar fashion events in Vancouver, including one that was attended by the Real Housewives of Vancouver, and for the first time is hosting a show, in conjunction with local sponsors, in Kelowna June 8. However, the location

is only being disclosed to those who purchase a ticket — the reason is to keep the event an intimate affair, said Whelpley, who also produced the Bright Lights Big City fashion fundraiser as well as a concert by local pop star Andrew Allen in Vernon last year. “The event itself is in Kelowna, but the core crew and most of the performers and models are from Vernon,” said Whelpley.
“Producers and A listers from L.A., New York, and Toronto (are) flying in for the event and to look at the Okanagan and its talent.” — Kip Whelpley
“There are producers and A listers from L.A., New York, and Toronto flying in for the event and to look at the Okanagan and its talent. We have put the event together to give the talent in the Okanagan a place to showcase themselves in front of a crowd they may normally not get a chance to perform to.” The 18th century rock ‘n roll-inspired shindig will showcase local designer talent by Sam Shakura of Kelowna’s Rock House of Design and fashions from
Vernon’s 104 Grey Clothing. There will be performances by Vernon’s Windmills, the Canadian School of Ballet, and Vernon’s opera-jazz trio The Dharma Dolls. Celebrity guests confirmed to attend the event include Emmy-nominated choreographer Stacey Tookey of So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing with the Stars, actor Gene Gabriel (NCIS LA, The Sopranos), as well as Justin Shultz from the Edmonton Oilers and Eric Godard, retired enforcer of the Pittsburgh Penguins. This introduction into the haute couture of the Okanagan will not be the first event of its kind, but the start of many, said Whelpley. “In following years it will be attached to a philanthropy group that is mandating to raise funds for grants and scholarships for students of the arts to apply for,” he said. “The grants and scholarships will be crafted to the individuals depending on their needs.” Tickets for A Rock ‘n Rococo Affair are $120 each, and include drinks from Okanagan Spirits, food from Cabana Grille, and wine tastings from Vibrant Vine Winery. Tickets are available in Vernon at 104 Grey Clothing (5100 Anderson Way, 778475-5705), Chatters Salon (Village Green Centre, 250260-7778) or call Kip Jon productions at 250-3078604 for over-the-phone purchase and personal delivery.
Plumes combines classical sensibility with its ethereal sound JenniFer smith
Black Press
There’s an ethereal quality to Plumes, both its classical ensemble and its indie pop incarnation, to be placed somewhere between Björk and Sarah Slean. A quick listen to their summer 2012 selftitled album suggests the flowery boasts of its promoters are finally not musical prowess
hyperbole. While many an indie act might promise the stars, this is one prolific, unmatched creative force grounded in the marriage of singer/songwriter Veronica Charnley, and her composer husband, Geof Holbrook. He has trained in ivy league schools from Columbia University to the Insititut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/
Musique in Paris and has been awarded in the SOCAN Competition for Young Composers seven times. She is trained in creative writing and the art of making house wherever their prolific career takes them—often to follow his education. “We move a lot so to be able to have Geof give the notations to different musicians in different cities makes everything faster,” said
Charnley. “Faster” is actually more like light speed for these two who have lived in some of the most prolific creative communities the world over in the last six years and created two, even three, separate bands, if one counts the chamber ensemble and indie pop branches of Plumes as two different acts.

hen Alan’s (Zach Galifianakis) father dies, the Wolfpack decides he needs professional help dealing with his eccentricities. A simple road trip turns into a wacky caper when a gangster heavy named Taylor and Howe Marshal (John Goodman) forces the gang to find, capture and return Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong) who has stolen millions in gold. We say, “It’s fun, but not funny.” TAYLOR: Director Todd Phillips brings us The Hangover III which, like its predecessors, is a tale of ridiculous hair-brained adventure, brought on in part by misfortune, but mostly self-induced. Galifianakis is his usual, awkward weirdo. Jeong revives the probably psychopathic Mr. Chow with gusto. The film has some exciting moments, real action, real tension, but I

The Wolfpack (Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis and Bradley Cooper) is back in The Hangover Part III. didn’t laugh, not once. HOWE: Hangover III just feels like the next day after a drinking binge; all you want to do is pop a few headache pills and hope that you forget what you have witnessed. I thought the second one was bad enough, but part three is just dreadful. I don’t get why some people think Galifianakis is funny. I know he is playing a character, but if he was in my family, myself or one of my brothers would have slapped him by now. TAYLOR: Cringe comedy (comedy stemming from discomfort) has certain levels: “Man gets hit in groin by football” is funny, a caveman would laugh. So we have slapstick. Then Monty Python came along and gave us black
comedy, where fun was had at the expense of serious matters, like death. When I was young, we had but rare attempts at lone weirdos, jerks and misfits, such as Steve Martin or Andy Kaufman. The ‘90s pushed us further into uncomfortable territory because of Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, the Farrelly brothers, Matt Stone and Trey Parker. Because those films made so much money, “the uncomfortable comedy wave” has washed over us all. We are drowning in neurosis. Today, our extremist cravings have brought cringe comedy to a level requiring truly insane behaviour. Occasionally, I’ll find such films funny, usually it is dependant on the crazy character being likeable or
believable. HOWE: I am so happy this franchise has ended, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they’re not going to do a 10-year, one-off anniversary special. There was a lot of wasted talent in this: John Goodman, Bradley Cooper and Melissa McCarthy. Hopefully Cooper will get back to doing what he does best and act. He’s proven his talent in the last couple of movies he’s been in. TAYLOR: I don’t think the film fails completely, I just didn’t find the humour in it effective. Yet, it’s a pretty good caper. If you go to it expecting something exciting, rather than funny, it becomes less disappointing. At least there’s nothing disgusting in it. However, Hangover III is charged with the task of making me laugh and came up very short. If you want exciting action from your movie, go see Fast & Furious 6 instead. — Howe gives The Hangover Part III 1.5 parachutes out of 5. — Taylor gives it 2 stay for the credits out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

ever one to stand still for long, rapper Snoop Dogg has changed his already changed name to Snoop Lion, and shifted his musical focus from hip hop to reggae. Album number 12, Reincarnated, bears meaty-beaty witness to Snoop’s enlightening trip to Jamaica, and brings his rap-friendly thump to some righteous skanking.

STreeT SoundS
Dean Gordon-Smith
In keeping with Snoop’s rap/hip hop roots the sound of Reincarnated packs a blunt low end that’s generous with electronic embellishment. The
thump is well contained though, and enhances Snoop’s easy embrace of scratch rhythm and message rhymes. It takes a few tracks into the album before the Rasta influence makes a strong appearance, and then it piles on with intent. Lighters Up is another definition of blunt, with a plodding lowend riff that sonically squishes a horn doubleup riff behind a hopeful gang-truce rap. So Long is a happier sound with
a sunny duet between Snoop and Angele Hunte – a straight-up jam between horns, keys, and choppy guitar, and a convincing rock-reggae hybrid. The hip hop roots are always lurking alongside the island beats, and the two merge on the clubheavy Get Away, with Snoop intoning over the flash and deep beats; the mix is finetuned in for big-ass speakers, courtesy of producer Diplo.

There’s a cast of featured guests: Rita Ora shines on the frenetic Torn Apart, but Miley Cyrus adds a no-vibe pop sheen to Ashtrays and Heartbreaks. No Guns Allowed is the serious song on the album, and is the most evocative, with an antiviolence rap by Drake fronting a pensive ska arrangement. But this being a Snoop (Dogg) Lion album, humour and high spirits will appear. His cartoonish persona shines through on the soon-to-be definitive reggae/rap mix-up Smoke the Weed. So simple and effective, it advises: “Smoke the weed (everyday), Don’t smoke the seed (no way).” Ha – right on! In the end , this album’s not a big departure for Snoop. There’s grooves, bumps, killa rhymes, and messages of anti violence and urban unification. And there’s weed, lots of weed.

Country dance champions visit Vernon Morning Star Staff

Calgary’s Richard and Cindy Tymko are at Vernon’s City Dance studio today and Saturday to give workshops in a variety of country and western dances.
Vernon and area dancers are donning their 10-gallon hats and cowboy boots to learn western moves with Canadian champion country dancers Cindy and Richard Tymko this weekend. The couple is at City Dance studio in Vernon today and Saturday for a series of workshops as well as social dances, where participants will be able to practise their moves “This is a great opportunity for anyone who loves two-step, west coast swing, nightclub two-step, polka, and triple two-step to learn from worldlevel instructors,” said City Dance instructor Heather Stranks. The Tymkos have been dancing and teaching together for the past 18 years. They began their partnership competing as a couple in the country and swing dance worlds. In those first couple of years together, they won the 1996 Pacific Coast Classic Swing Dance Champions (Portland, Ore.), the 1996 North West Regional Classic Swing Champions (Seattle, Wash.) and the 1996 River City Classic Swing Champions (Edmonton, Alta). Since then, they have focused their efforts on teaching and coaching students through their dance company, Rhythms of Dance, in Calgary. They are also master level certified judges on the country circuit for the United
Country and Western Dance Council. Both have received top teacher awards at several local and international dance festivals. In January, Richard Tymko received the top male teacher at the UCWDC World Championships in Nashville, Tenn. In the 2011/2012 dance season, the Tymkos decided to compete once again and danced against the very best at the World Country Dance Championships. A successful outcome was accomplished with two first place dances and a fourth place overall. In 2007, the Tymkos had a baby girl, Isabelle, and now at age five she shares the love of dance with her dad in the pro-am junior primary divisions. The couple also share their love of dance by teaching and coaching country, swing and ballroom to students of all ages across North America. They enjoy their life passion by judging at the dance events, coaching couples, competing with their pro-am students and performing and competing themselves. “We are very happy to be invited to share our dance expertise with our friendly neighbours in Vernon and surrounding areas. Let the fun begin,” they said. All passes and tickets for today and Saturday’s events can be purchased through City Dance. Call 250-3074955 or e-mail info@citydanceok.com.

Ensemble plays Armstrong Sunday Continued from B1
Their first group, the very rockesque Flotilla, carved a space for their sound somewhere near Kate Bush and Portishead in the music annals, and met with the kind of acclaim that sees its work lauded totally unique by seasoned music critics. When the pop sounds of Plumes developed, along with a desire to have a group that could play chamber music spinoffs, it seemed a rebranding was in order. Charnley compares the resulting new group to Clogs, an instrumental project from Bryce Dessner of The National, or Shara Worden. Whether you’re up on the indie music scene enough to place the examples or not, anyone will be able to appreciate the rare opportunity Plumes offers to hear clarinet and bass clarinet, a reasonably loud instrument, deftly woven into Charnley’s sweet melodies by Louise Campbell, in a popular music group. And with harpist Eveline GrégoireRousseau, a substitute with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, and violinist Pemi Paull

Plumes marries indie pop and vocal chamber music with clever lyricism when they perform at the Armstrong Inn Sunday. joining the band for their Canadian dates, Plumes is a musical force in every sense. Charnley and Holbrook met when Charnley’s friend moved to Germany and she assumed her spot as Holbrook’s new roommate. Creating a sense of home is a theme in this work. The pair met Rousseau, who lived in the neighbourhood, within their first month living together and all have been collaborating ever since. While their music is decidedly experimental, Charnley foresees
it becoming even more “harmonically experimental.” “I still want to maintain a level of accessibility because I like pretty melodies, but I think the harmonies could be even more out there…
with a little bit more dissonance.” Plumes is at the Armstrong Inn Sunday at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the Ticket Seller (250-5497469, www.ticketseller.ca) or call the Inn at 250-5463056 for more info.

Artists trace path to Lake Country Morning Star Staff
The work of three Canadian female artists will be featured when the Lake Country Art Gallery hosts the exhibition Traces: the dreamt, the seen, the remembered. Featuring the work of Amy Friend, Laura Madera and Michelle Hall, Traces was first conceived by gallery curator Katie Brennan, who met Friend and Madera on her travels across Canada. “I had been waiting to showcase these women’s art for years,” said Brennan. “It wasn’t until I came across the portfolio of Michelle Hall that I finally saw how all their work intertwined.” “Thematically the three women’s art layers quite beautifully,” added
gallery manager Petrina McNeill. “However their three different mediums offer different lenses and contexts through which to interpret the central theme.” Based in St. Catharines, Ont., Friends’ series of photographs explores what was left after her grandmother’s death, including a collection of nightgowns. Friend blends elements of light and contrast with the flowing nightgowns’ forms, transparencies and colours to depict more than the ethereal, sheer materials themselves. “The worn areas, marks of where her body had been, emit an aura of her presence,” wrote Friend. Hall is an Okanagan
artist whose multimedia work utilizes text to explore the conception of beliefs. Throughout her portfolio, she traces how her experience with others has created or proliferated beliefs within herself. An Ontario-based artist, Madera’s watercolour paintings are abstracted patterns and surfaces infused with bleached-out light. Her memories of events and time are evoked through transparencies and luminous forms. Traces: the dreamt, the seen, the remembered opens at the Lake Country Art Gallery Wednesday with a reception at 6 p.m. The exhibition runs to July 19.

ear Annie: I am in my 20s and am engaged to a beautiful girl. Our religion prohibits sex before marriage. But when “Donna” tells me to stop kissing her, I persist. I don’t see why not. It’s just kissing. Donna says she has not been firm enough with me and when she says no, she means no. Yesterday, I was sitting next to Donna and started kissing her on the lips. She said no, and when I didn’t stop, she slapped my face. It felt like I had been stung by a bee. Donna told me she definitely had to slap me. My cousin said that in a Kathy Mitchell & MarcySugar dating situation, the woman sets the rules, and it is her prerogative to slap a man’s face if she feels he has gone too far. Do you agree? I don’t think she had to slap me. — John Dear John: It’s hard to believe you are living in this century. While we don’t recommend that women go around slapping men, anything you do after Donna says “no” could be considered assault or even attempted rape. She is entitled to defend herself. She could call the police. Show some respect for your girlfriend, and stop kissing her when she asks you to stop. You sound too immature to get married. Dear Annie: Nine years ago, my husband and I bought a large house with extra bedrooms so we could have his ailing, aging parents move in with us. We cared for them until they passed away. The problem is, now every family member, no matter how distant, has decided that our large house is their free vacation spot. They invite themselves year round and stay for days at a time, eating our food, swimming in our pool, watching our TV and basically making themselves at home and never offering to pay for anything. I’m tired of running a bed and breakfast out of my home. How can I stop this trend without offending our family members? — Tired of Running a Hotel in Florida Dear Florida: You have to stand firm while being pleasant. If Cousin Jake says, “I’ll be in town next month and will stay with you,” reply, “I’m SO sorry, but we are simply not up to having people in the house. I’ll be happy to give you the phone number of the nearest hotel, and we can meet for dinner. We’d love to see you.” No matter how many times he protests, stick to your guns — but sweetly. Dear Annie: I believe you missed the boat with your answer to “Irritated by Lack of Thoughtfulness,” who said a woman carried on a cellphone conversation during a funeral. You said it was impolite, but added that the phone could be turned on “mute” or “vibrate” and emergencies handled out of earshot. We have lost all sensitivity to others. At funerals, weddings and church services, phones should be left at home or in the car. If something is so important that one must stay connected, one should not attend the function. Not so long ago, cellphones didn’t exist, and we managed to survive. — Litchfield, Maine

Riding towards a good cause Morning Star Staff
When Consie Severson was told her colon cancer was in remission five years ago, she was determined to do whatever she could to give back to the Canadian Cancer Society. And Ride for Research was born. For the fifth year in a row, Severson will spend 24 hours on a stationary bike in front of Ladies World Health & Fitness, to raise money for the society. “I needed to do something to give back to the cancer society, to the people who had helped me along my journey,” she said. “I have a passion for riding, so I put my love of riding to good use, to start raising more money for cancer research.” The popular personal trainer at the Vernon fitness club began her ride at 7 a.m. today and continues until 7 a.m. Saturday. Anyone who has taken one of Severson’s
This is Dave... Dave has ideas for your entire house.
“Until we find a cure, there is no finish line.” — Consie Severson classes knows her enthusiasm is contagious, along with her positive attitude towards every single person in the gym, young or old, athletic or just getting in shape. “My surviving cancer opened the doors for me and made a lot of connections with people and made it possible for me to help others,” she said. “My advice is to not give up. Don’t stop. Don’t put things off until tomorrow. Do the things you want to do — if you’ve always dreamed of doing it, do it.”
To catch some of that enthusiasm and to help Severson towards her fundraising goal, everyone is welcome to join her in front of Ladies World, to ride with her, make a donation or just keep her company. The event includes a raffle for a mountain bike, with tickets available at Ladies World, a silent auction filled with donated items, a barbecue and bakery items from Gumtree Catering. Throughout the day, drop-in co-ed Group Ride classes will be going on, all by donation to Ride for Research. “Please come on down and join me in the fight to stop this dreaded disease,” said Severson. “Until we find a cure, there is no finish line.” Ladies World is at 4406-27th St. For more information, call the gym at 250503-2363.

Bridging cultures at Knox Katherine MortiMer
Morning Star Staff
When Rev. Dr. Teresa Charlton asked members of her congregation for donations of First Nations artifacts to display at Knox Presbyterian Church, she was met with enthusiastic response. Parishioners brought in a wide range of items that includes tiny, hand-crafted moccasins, parkas from the north and a beaded Métis talking stick. Along with a canoe and teepee made by parishioner Henry Huizinga, the items will be displayed all weekend as part of the Spring Potlatch taking place Saturday at the church from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. It’s the culmination of the work the church has been doing with Hummingbird Ministries. Run by Rev. Mary Fontaine, Hummingbird is dedicated to the work of reconciliation and healing between Canada’s aboriginal people and the Presbyterian Church in Canada. The Vernon stop is part of Hummingbird’s North Okanagan tour, which also includes visits to Salmon Arm, Armstrong and Enderby, to promote awareness, education and good relationships between people. Charlton was looking for a way of engaging her parishio-
ners and members of the community in First Nations culture and traditions. “We have been doing activities in some of the schools and tomorrow’s potlatch is a celebration for the whole community,” she said. “The congregation has been so supportive, so this is a way to bridge cultures and we want to be respectful. “We have people coming from the First Nations Friendship Centre to do some children’s activities for us.” The potlatch includes a variety of activities for kids. Admission is free, and when children arrive they will be given a map that guides them around the activities, which includes making a totem pole, re-enacting the voyageurs’ journey by having their photo taken in a canoe, making a bead necklace in a teepee, singing, dancing, drumming and food. Each map comes with a temporary tattoo and kids are welcome to come and go as they please. With some of the displays, Charlton has taken reduce, recycle and reuse to heart. An Inukshuk has been built out of milk cartons and totem poles out of coffee cans, which will be painted and decorated with foam stickers. “We do not want to diminish the hurt, but we wanted
Women are invited to take some time for themselves at Green Glamour Ladies Night on Saturday. The event at Excel Fitness offers North Okanagan women a night of holistic health and beauty. “With this fun, educational and interactive evening, women’s perception of beauty will be shifted from that based on societal pressure to one of self-love and understanding that beauty is created from the inside out,” said holistic beauty and fitness specialist C.S. Bromley, who is cohosting the event with registered holistic nutritionist Kaitlin Stephens. “This was created because of our intense passion to empower women.” Stephens will demonstrate how to

Dr. Teresa Charlton and Cathy Huizinga try out one of the displays at Knox Presbyterian Church, in preparation for Saturday’s Spring Potlatch, taking place from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. to provide a positive environment to learn new ways, to dialogue together. “Everybody will leave with something and hopefully a little art and culture and full bellies.” In the evening, Charlton will host a potluck dinner at her home for parishioners that
she hopes will lead to some in-depth discussions, and Hummingbird Ministries will take part in Sunday’s regular church service. Knox Presbyterian Church is at 3701-32nd Ave., corner of Alexis Park Drive. For more information, call 250-542-8613.

ONE LIFE: He was born in a stable, He never won an election. He never went to college. He never owned a home. He never had a lot of money. He became a nomadic preacher, He was betrayed by a close friend. He was unjustly condemned to death. Crucified on a cross among thieves. On a hill overlooking the town dump. And when dead, laid in a borrowed grave. Yet no one affected men as much as He. He is the central figure of the human race. He is the Messiah: Jesus Christ.

TIPS FOR FEEDING
HUMMINGBIRDS North Okanagan Naturalists’ Club Special to The Morning Star Here are a few tips to help and not harm feeding your fast little friends this season. Feeders: Here is what you need 1. Pipe cleaner 2. Bottle brush 3. Hummingbird feeder that can be dismantled and parts cleaned individually. Glass is the best choice. What to look for when buying a feeder. 1) Feeder should have bright red parts to alert hummingbirds to its presence. Even a small bit of red at the port is enough to attract them. 2) Should be easy to fill and clean. Avoid feeders with ornate decorations and hard-to- reach nooks and crannies as they are hard to clean properly. 3) Should have a capacity that matches your volume of feeding. A feeder too small requires multiple fills in one day. A too large feeder will not be drained
before the food goes bad. Food The best food is made by you. One part white sugar and four parts water. For example: 1/4 cup sugar and one cup water. NEVER use brown sugar, honey or sugar substitute, as these contain components that will harm the birds. Do not add dye; hummingbird feeders come with red bases and that is all that is needed to attract them. The best method for making food is to bring the water and sugar to a boil for two minutes with the lid on to prevent evaporation. This reduces the bacteria and prevents fermentation so the food lasts longer. You can make a larger batch that will last safely for seven days in your fridge. Let the food come to room temperature before refilling your feeder and putting it outside. When to change food. Rule of thumb for changing your feeders is 21-26 degrees change every five days, 27-30 degrees change every three days,

21-33 degrees change every two days and 33 degrees and over change every day. If the food looks cloudy or there are black spots in it, thoroughly clean the feeder and change the food. Cleaning the feeders. As mentioned before, a feeder that can be completely dismantled for cleaning is the best. Dismantle the feeder and clean with hot water (do not use soap) using the bottle brush and the pipe cleaner for the small openings. If you have had black mould then soak the feeder for an hour in a mixture of one part bleach to 10 parts water. It’s very important to rinse all the parts of the feeder several times with clean water to completely wash away any bleach, even a small amount of bleach will harm your hummers. If there is no cloudy food or
black mould you should rinse your feeder with hot water between fillings. It is a good idea to dismantle and clean your feeder at least twice a week to ensure there is no mould growing in areas not easily seen. Where to put your feeders. In front of your window is great for viewing. In the shade (to help the food last longer) Away from predators such as cats. Use ant guards to keeps them from getting in the feeder. This will contaminate the food and the birds will not feed if there are dead ants in it. It’s very important not to buy a feeder if you are not home enough to maintain it. For information regarding hummingbird banding contact Gail Loughridge at 250-545-7455.

Fire chiefs seek new smoke alarm legislation jeff nagel Morning Star Staff
Anyone buying or renewing home insurance should be compelled by law to first declare they have a working smoke alarm. That’s the legislative change now being sought by the Fire Chiefs Association of B.C. in the latest phase of their campaign to get working smoke alarms into every home in the province. The proposed change to B.C.’s Insurance Act has backing from the City
of Nelson and Cariboo alarms.” Regional District and Garis noted insurFCABC president Len ance companies have a Garis expects vested interother cities est in ensurand regions ing homes to endorse it. they insure “We don’t are safe from expect insurfire, crime ance comand other panies to hazards, and enforce the routinely work i ng offer disLen Garis smoke alarm counts based declarations,” on risk. said Garis. A multi-agency “The intent is to drive with corpouse insurance renewals rate support has been to educate the public underway since 2012 about the importance to hand out free smoke of working smoke alarms to vulnerable
residents, particularly First Nations and the elderly. Nearly 70 per cent of B.C. homes that caught fire from 2006 to 2011 did not have a functioning smoke alarm.
The FCABC estimates a working smoke alarm in every B.C. home could reduce annual fire deaths by 32 per cent and notes residential fire fatalities are already down sharply
in the first year of the effort. More than 21,000 donated smoke alarms have been handed out with the help of campaign sponsors, including Kidde Canada,
Black Press, Super Save Group, Shaw Cable and the federal aboriginal affairs department. For more on the campaign see www. workingsmokealarms. ca.

A NONMINIMUM REBID INVITES GAME Lou Holtz, a former football coach, said, “Life is 10 percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you respond to it.” Is bidding 10 percent what your partner bids and 90 percent how you respond to it? Not really; it ought to be an equal division of labor. This week we are looking at responder’s rebids. In today’s deal, what should North do? As we learned yesterday, if North has a weak hand with 6-9 points (or a poor 10), he must pass or bid two hearts or two spades. Here, though, North has game-invitational strength. To show that, he must rebid
two no-trump or three of a bid suit (or, although it is impossible here, two of a new suit, as long as that would not be the fourth suit named in the auction, which we will cover later in the week). With three-card heart support, North should jump to three hearts. South would then bid four hearts. Next, look at the West hand. What should he lead against four hearts? The club queen looks mighty tempting. But what happens then? South wins with his ace, takes dummy’s top spades to shake his club loser, and plays a diamond. West can win and shift to a trump, but declarer plays another diamond. South wins the next heart lead in his hand
and ruffs a diamond on the board. He loses only three diamond tricks. With such strong diamonds sitting over declarer’s second suit, West should lead a trump. Then, as long as he leads another heart every time he is on play, he gets four diamond tricks to defeat the contract.

Carol-Lynn Sandra Davidson 1942 - 2013
In the springƟme of her life and on the day the Irises bloomed, God chose to recruit a new angel. Our wife, mom, sister and friend ʹ Carol-Lynn Sandra avidson who passed Ƌuickly through Heaven’s Gates, on 24 May 2013, to help God paint the skies. Carol-Lynn, oldest of 3 daughters born to Norm and oris Kershaw, entered life 22 February, 1942 in Toronto, Ontario. At age 4, her family moved west to Edmonton, Alberta. In grade 12, the Kershaws moved to Richmond, BC where she met the love of her life, and soon-to-be husband, Jim avidson. Carol-Lynn and Jim raised their 2 small children, Įrst in Richmond and Įnally seƩled in their own built home in Sicamous, BC. It was in Sicamous that Carol-Lynn started her own enrichment with Art classes, ͞leƫng the chips fall where they may͟. As the years progressed, she received many ArƟst awards and designaƟons working in many mediums, but excelling in watercolour. Eventually, she even called herself an ArƟst. Her works have been ũuried among the best and have been viewed around the world; including Australia, England and in the United States. Carol-Lynn also shared her passion, instrucƟng many classes and encouraging all to ͞keep their brushes wet͟. YuilƟng became a hobby and even more masterpieces were produced. Another move, this one to Watch Lake, BC before Carol-Lynn and Jim Įnally seƩled to their own new built home in Armstrong, BC. These moves gave CarolLynn the chance to meet and share her hugs and love with many people.

Lillian Giesbrecht
After a courageous two year battle with cancer Mike passed peacefully at home, surrounded with love. Throughout his illness Mike never had any days of complaint or self- pity. He filled his days with determination, humour, and love for his family and friends. Mike worked in the Construction Industry, framing and building houses, many years with Ron’s Concrete Pumping, and then as Safety co-ordinator with Silver Rock Land Corp. He treasured his time at the family cabin at Mabel Lake, being with friends and family around the camp fire and fishing for “Walter.”
1927 - 2013 It is with great sadness and heavy hearts to announce the passing of Lillian Giesbrecht. Born August 30, 1927 and passed away May 26, 2013. Lillian is survived by her loving husband Ted for 66 years.

Mike’s infectious smile and twinkling eyes will be missed by us all, and we are truly blessed to have had such a loving person in our lives. Mike is survived by his wife Karry, son Chris, daughter-in-law Carly, and his cherished grandchildren Sydney and Lucas Brothers Paul (Pam), Jim (Pat), Bob (Kelly), Brian (Cheryl), John (Nancy) and sister Anne-Marie (John). Mother-in-law Thelma McKinley, brother-in-law, Barry (Anne) McKinley, 14 nieces, nephews and their families. Mike was predeceased by his parents, Hubert and Bernice Bibby, brother David and fatherin-law Art McKinley. A memorial service for Mike will be held Saturday June 1st at 3:00 p.m. at Pleasant Valley Funeral Home. We would like to thank Dr. Hardy, Dr. Blyth, Dr. Cunningham, Nurses Loren, Laurie, Judy, Wendy and all the staff at the Vernon Cancer Centre for your care, concern and guidance during Mike’s treatments. Also to the Community Care Nurses and Care Aides for the compassion and support you gave to allow Mike to end this journey at home.

ASHLEY JAMES MAILE May 13, 1977 to May 13, 2013 It is with immeasurable sadness that we announce the death of Ashley on his 36th birthday. Diagnosed with inoperable bowel cancer in February, he fought to the end with hope, humour, honour, and humility, taking a photograph of his “A Team” two hours before he died. Born in Bromley, England, Ashley came to BriƟsh Columbia at six weeks of age. He aƩended Hillview Elementary, and Vernon Senior Secondary school where he developed his passion for music and photography. Known locally in youth sports for soccer, cross country skiing, and track and Įeld, he represented Vernon in both winter and summer games on many occasions. AŌer Langara College he pursued his chosen career of rock band photography in Vancouver. While exploring prospects in London he met the love of his life, Caroline, and moved to England to be with her, making Brighton his home base. With his talent, passion, moƟvaƟon, charismaƟc personality, and humour, he moved rapidly towards the top of his profession, as shown by the overwhelming number and Ƌuality of posƟngs, Tweets, and e-mails received aŌer the press release of his passing was published. Some of the biggest names and bands considered Ashley to be their favourite photographer, as well as being their friend. An exhibiƟon of Ashley’s work is being planned for the fall in London. A simple cremaƟon was held on May 24 at the Downs Crematorium, Brighton, with family and very close friends aƩending.
