Mayor defends staff salaries RICHARD ROLKE

Vernon’s mayor denies wages are out of control at city hall. The city’s 2012 annual report shows that $21.4 million was spent on employee compensation and expenses, with 91 individuals earning more than $75,000. “With long-term union contracts and the cost of living, payouts increase over time,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky. “Government has not grown as a percentage of tax dollars.” Sawatzky also says the municipality is responsive to residents’ needs. “A point of endless debate is how much government do you want and how much do you want it to do.” Payroll for city staff went from $18.8 million in 2010 to $20.9 million last year. Eighty-two employees earned more than

$75,000 a year in 2011, up from 66 in 2010. Of those employees who earned more than $75,000 in 2012, chief administrator Will Pearce was at $101,940 in wages and expenses. Rob Dickinson, manager of engineering, was at $128,108 for salary and expenses while fire chief Keith Green was at $127,578. Including Green, 26 individuals at the fire hall earned more than $75,000 in 2012. In terms of elected officials, the city’s 2012 annual report indicates $198,109 was spent on council remuneration and expenses. “For the hours council puts in, most are very poorly paid,” said Sawatzky of his colleagues attending meetings and spending hours reading documents and researching matters.

“I doubt they make $10 an hour.” Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe received a salary of $21,844 while it was $20,611 for Coun. Juliette Cunningham and $20,474 each for Councillors Catherine Lord, Patrick Nicol, Bob Spiers and Brian Quiring. Sawatzky would not discuss his own salary of $63,466 because he says any comments he made could come across as self-serving. In terms of expenses, there was $5,816 for Sawatzky, $1,715 for Lord, $1,396 for O’Keefe and $1,367 for Cunningham. Nicol, Quiring and Spiers did not submit expenses for 2012. “I just never have. It’s my contribution to the community,” said Nicol. “Each individual (council member) gets to choose what they do. It (not submitting) feels right to me.”

City cuts aren’t the only financial squeeze facing a historic site. O’Keefe Ranch says other agencies are reconsidering funding after Vernon council decided to reduce its annual commitment starting in 2016. “If a partner in the community is pulling out, they are looking at their participation,” said Glen Taylor, O’Keefe Ranch general manager. A Heritage Legacy Fund grant for restoration of St. Anne’s Church was recently denied. “They said no because the city is backing its funding Glen Taylor down,” said Taylor. “It’s funding we were depending on.” Council voted recently to continue with a $150,000 annual grant for the city-owned property. But in 2016, that will drop to $100,000, followed by $50,000 in 2017 and $10,000 in 2018. Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe is concerned the city’s actions are having a snowball effect on funding. “Some of the broader impacts of our decision aren’t known,” she said. “Because of our decision that we will cease funding, those (outside) agencies are questioning their funding.” Council has instructed staff to determine the extent of the impact on the ranch’s budget if other organizations restrict grant levels. Opposition to a staff report came from Councillors Bob Spiers and Brian Quiring. “That information should come from O’Keefe Ranch. It’s not the city’s place to generate another report,” said Quiring, who questions suggestions that agencies are basing funding on what the city does. “I’d like to see evidence that this is the case. It (2016) is a long ways off.” A similar view is also coming from Spiers. “I don’t know how that affects a grant being done now,” he said of the city reducing its contribution in 2016. Taylor insists the ranch is working on plans to attract more visitors and enhance the bottom line. “We have three years to show we can increase activity and we will show the city the ranch is providing an important service,” he said of preserving the region’s heritage and bolstering the economy.

Residents given the bear facts talking to residents. She was told a lot of the residents have had bears in their back yards for multiple days running. In between houses in the Foothills are large gulleys which serve as travel corridors for the wildlife. When the animals see an attraction like a garbage can or a bird feeder, they’ll come out of the gulley and into the neighbourhoods. “There are 8,000 calories in a bag of bird food, so a bear would have to eat 16 kilograms of berries to match that,” said Cuthill, reminding residents to keep the garbage inside and take bird feeders down between Easter and November. “Bears have incredible memories,” she added. “Once it gets a taste of easy calories, it’s coming back to find more and will keep checking even if you take the bird feeder down.” Cuthill said not all Vernon neighbourhoods have problems with bears, mainly the ones that back onto wilderness. Cuthill can be reached at 250-306-2286 for information, or by e-mail at vernon@ wildsafebc.com. Information can also be found online at www.wildsafebc.com. Her office also addresses other wildlife concerns like deer and cougars, and will provide information on coyotes. To report problem wildlife, you can call 1-877-952-7277 or *7277 on a cell phone.

Try as they may, conservation officers are still flustered by residents not getting the message about leaving their garbage out and attracting bears. Since April, in the City of Vernon, there have been 97 black bear complaints with 89 of those calls related to garbage. Throw in the North Okanagan region and there have been 199 bear complaints with 119 related to bears seeking food in garbage cans and bags. “Obviously we still have a garbage issue,” said Sgt. Josh Lockwood, operations supervisor for the North Okanagan Conservation Service. “Garbage is a major attraction in bringing bears into the community.” In Vernon, the city’s bylaw states that garbage must be out by 7 a.m. the morning of collection which encourages residents to put out the cans the night before. But what Lockwood and his partner – there are only two conservation officers that serve the Vernon area – are seeing are people putting out garbage days ahead of the collection. That’s what brings the bears around, looking for food, as does bird feeders, barbecues and pet food left outside. “We don’t know how to get the message across to the public without actively enforcing some of the bear attractant provisions in the Wildlife Act,” said Lockwood. Enter Marnie Cuthill. She is the new WildSafeBC community co-ordinator for the City of Vernon. Hired at the end of May, Cuthill works for the B.C. Conservation Federation with funding from conservation and the city. Other communities have had a position like Cuthill’s since 1999, when the program was known as Bear Aware. “Our program works to reduce human wildlife conflict through education, innovation and cooperation,” said Cuthill. “Our motto is keeping the community safe and

the wildlife wild.” One of the problem areas for garbage in Vernon is the Foothills, and Cuthill said she has been in contact with the Foothills Neighbourhood Association who are keen to

work with her to solve the bears and garbage problem. After receiving a bear complaint from the Foothills, where garbage collection day is a Friday, Lockwood did a drive-thru on a Wednesday night and spotted a bunch of garbage cans out waiting to be emptied. Cuthill drove through on a Thursday night and spotted cans and bags – about a third of the refuse were left out in just garbage bags, which provide easy access for the bears. “I was sticking yellow bear attractant stickers on the cans which basically say garbage attracts bears, store cans inside until collection day and use a bear-proof garbage bin,” said Cuthill, who said she followed up by returning on Saturday and

compliance,” said Sgt. Josh Lockwood, conservation operations supervisor for North Okanagan. “We issued five warnings and five charges.” All boaters must ensure that they have all of their safety equipment in their boat prior to going on the water. This includes enough approved life jackets for each person in the boat. “Remember not carrying enough approved life jackets or the correct safety equipment could result in a fine being issued,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. All operators must carry their boat opera-

tor’s license (PCOC) on the boat at all times. The RCMP would like to see boaters carry a second piece of photo identification along with their boater’s license. That second piece of ID can be a good photocopy of your driver’s licence. If you have just purchased a new or used boat, the boat has to be registered (numbers on bow of the boat). If it is a used boat you must have it transferred into the new owner’s name. If the operator has failed to do this and cannot produce the registration from Transport Canada, a fine could result. Boaters can check the Transport Canada

website to see how this is done. Those who like to paddleboard must either wear a lifejacket or have one on board, and every person on the board must wear a jacket or have one on board. It is illegal to tow a person either by boat or personal watercraft (ie: sea-doo) without a spotter on board. “Having a mirror on your boat does not replace the spotter,” said Molendyk. If the boating public has any questions or concerns about safe boating, please contact the local police detachment or check the Transport Canada website.

June 24-28 is Operation Dry Water, which is BUI (Boating Under the Influence). Officers will be on the lakes that week seeking people who are impaired operating a motor vessel. They’ll also be wait-

ing at local docks and boat launches. “These people who boat and consume alcohol eventually either park their boat at the yacht club and drive home, or go to the boat launches and drive home,” said Lockwood.

Cocaine investigation leads to arrests roger knox Morning Star Staff

Police in Vernon and Kelowna believe they’ve put a significant dent in cocaine trafficking in the valley following the arrest of three individuals. The arrests came following a monthlong investigation into an alleged Vernon drug trafficker with connections to dealers in Kelowna. “Vernon received help from both the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) and Kelowna detachment to bring this investigation to a successful conclusion,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.

On Friday, officers from Vernon and Kelowna arrested three men, all suspected of cocaine trafficking. A 23-year-old Vernon man was arrested while operating his motor vehicle on Westside Road. He was found to be in possession of 4.5 ounces of cocaine. He was taken into custody but released on a promise to appear in court to face charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking. A 25-year-old Vernon man was arrested while operating a motor vehicle in Kamloops. Police then executed a search warrant at his Westside Road home and found

four ounces of cocaine and related drug trafficking paraphernalia. A Kelowna man, 27, was arrested at his residence in the 600 block of Oxford Avenue. Police obtained a search warrant and found approximately six ounces of cocaine and approximately $60,000 and related drug trafficking paraphernalia. He will face charges of trafficking and possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking. “The subjects arrested in this investigation are believed to be responsible for a large volume of cocaine trafficking in the Okanagan area,” said Molendyk.

Search and Rescue helps canoeist and horseback rider Morning Star Staff

It was a busy weekend for members of Vernon Search and Rescue. Unit crews were called out to two separate incidents near Coldstream and Enderby. At 4 p.m. Saturday, 10 members responded to the request of the B.C. Ambulance Service

to help in the rescue of an injured man that was horseback riding with friends in the Cosens Bay area. SAR teams went into the area by water and on ATVs. Due to the injuries the man sustained, it was determined that he should be transported by boat to the ambulance, which was wait-

ing at the boat launch on Kinloch Drive. Boat travel provides a smoother ride than a vehicle. At 4 p.m. Sunday, 18 members responded to reports that a 64-yearold man flipped his canoe and ended up in a log jam on the Shuswap River, six kilometres up from the Enderby boat launch.

Attempts to extinguish overtime costs at Vernon’s fire hall are growing. Council has endorsed a strategy to reduce staff compensation beyond regularly scheduled shifts. “We’re responsible for the cost to the community,” said Rob Sawatzky Mayor Rob Sawatzky. “To the credit of the chief and our administrator, there is a rigorous process to bring it under control.”

Net overtime costs in 2012 were $273,935. That included about 320 additional hours ($22,443) for The Rise wildfire Aug. 14 and 109 hours for the Birnie Road wildfire ($7,317) Aug. 21. “If there are a number of fires, you can’t just stop,” said Sawatzky. There was also premium time pay for statutory holidays and off-duty training time required to achieve certification. Part of the strategy includes trying to conduct training exercises while staff is on-duty and implementing roster preplanning for scheduling improvement. Sawatzky says one of the challenges the city faces is firefighters’ pay is based on parity with Vancouver.

Some overtime is also related to the first medical responders program, and the fire department, as a result, is limiting response to life-threatening cases. Sawatzky considers first medical responders a form of downloading as medical care is handled by the B.C. Ambulance Service and is a provincial mandate. FMR cost the city between $60,000 and $80,000 in 2012 and Sawatzky isn’t sure if the service should continue in the future. “We’re always reconsidering these things. It’s come up at council,” he said. The fire department hopes to decrease overtime costs by $30,330 in 2013 and $26,300 in 2014.

Some officials are calling for more time to hammer out Greater Vernon’s master water plan. Coldstream council believes the Interior Health Authority should extend the June 30 deadline by a few weeks so the plan can be finalized. “The politicians haven’t had time to vet it all,” said Coun. Maria Besso. “We have to take into account the taxpayers and what they can afford.” A technical committee met Tuesday to discuss specific plan details and it will go before the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee for consideration Thursday.

Greater Vernon is currently developing a master plan for water treatment and ensuring sufficient supply. Significant effort has gone into developing the document, but Mayor Jim Garlick admits there should be additional time to ensure all issues are addressed.

“We’ve narrowed it down significantly from all of the options,” he said. “It would be nice to look at all of the details so we are comfortable with the direction we

are taking.” Financials are one aspect of the plan still in flux and those could be finalized by the end of July. The process originally included nine options for providing water to Greater Vernon. At this point, the preferred option 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. If IHA does not change the deadline, the Regional District of North Okanagan will consider approval of the master water plan June 26.

Fee decision required communication richard rolke Morning Star Staff

City of Vernon officials admit more should have been done to warn school trustees of a new fee. The Vernon School District has protested a $25 criminal record check fee for adults volunteering in schools. The district says that could cost up to $25,000 a year. “When there is a substantial difference in the cost, it should be discussed at inter-government meetings so people are given a headsup,” said Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe Monday.

“We need to make more of an effort to communicate.”

— Mary-Jo O’Keefe “We need to make more of an effort to communicate with partner groups.” However, O’Keefe supports the city charging for criminal record checks. “The (city’s) costs are substantial and we are justified to try and get some of this money into

our budget.” 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. City staff has stated that record checks take a minimum of one hour and possibly several

days to process, and the city’s cost ranges from $50 to $500 each. Council has instructed administration to look at the school district’s concerns and come back with a report. However, Mayor Rob Sawatzky says there are some factors to consider, including that many criminal record checks are provincially mandated but there is no provincial funding to assist the city. “The school district does not pay property taxes and does not contribute to the community (through taxes).”

Downtown Vernon ready for the sun Morning Star Staff

Excitement is heating up for an annual tradition in downtown Vernon. The 19th annual Sunshine Festival takes place Saturday and entertainment, activities and vendors will line 30th Avenue, from 29th to 32nd streets, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. “We’re really excited to be offering an assortment of kids activities in the new Telus KidZone,” said Sheila Snow, event organizer. “It’s an area dedicated to kids activities. Kids can dig for their treasure in the sandpile or play in the bouncy castles. There will be face painting, pony rides, Xbox, a petting zoo and games.” And so far, the forecast is calling for sunshine. “We have a great line up of street vendors and activities for all ages,” said Lara Konkin, Downtown Vernon Association event and marketing co-ordinator. “Families can enjoy live entertainment, including the Shawn Lightfoot Band, Deep Tapestry and The Goods on one of three stages or wander through the streets to watch the medieval demonstration or view the community art project.” Also included in the festival is the Welcoming Communities Global Workshop Zone, featuring African drumming, Spanish dancing, tai chi, felting and more. Downtown businesses will once again be putting on Vernon’s largest sidewalk

There will also be a line-up of food vendors, along with an array of restaurants for those looking to grab a bite to eat. The event has been planned around the revitalization construction zone. “We’ve moved parts of the festival area into the streets adjoining 30th Avenue,”

said Konkin. The construction area is now newly paved for pedestrian access and merchants continue to be open for business. “Don’t forget about them during the festival,” said Konkin. There will be free parking on downtown streets, in city parking lots and in the parkade during Sunshine Festival. Public transit will be free for residents to and from downtown Vernon within city limits.

Okanagan Lake comes close to full pool joe fries Black Press

The water level in Okanagan Lake is swishing right around its targeted maximum, and a rainy spell could push it even higher. As of Tuesday, the lake level was at 342.45 metres above sea level, three centimetres below the so-called full pool mark at which officials from the responsible government ministry try to keep it. “I’d like to stress that’s a target that we like to reach, but sometimes we go over that,” said Des Anderson, who heads the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations’ pubic safety and protection office. “A slight deviation from that number should be insignificant to most people, (but) there are some (homes) that were built below the proper flood construction level, and they would begin to experience seepage from ground water.” Anderson said Okanagan Lake typically reaches full pool in late June, but a spell of hot weather in May hastened the spring melt. “What that does is it gives us less time to get water out. So the lake is reaching this (full pool) benchmark early.” As it stands, the team is letting out as much water from the lake as it can. The dam at the south end of the lake in Penticton was discharging water at a rate of 64 cubic metres per second as of Saturday morning. That’s slightly above its design discharge capacity, and regulations in place

The dam at the south end of Okanagan Lake is currently discharging about 64 cubic meters of water per second as officials try to keep the lake level in check. to prevent damage downstream mean the release of water can’t be bumped up further. Anderson said, however, that as long as the Okanagan escapes heavy rain, officials are confident they can keep the lake level under control. “It looks manageable, but really it’s tough to say, because these past few years we’ve had quite a bit of precipitation in June. That’s the caveat.” Meanwhile, a June 1 bulletin from the B.C. River Forecast Centre noted the snowpack in the Similkameen basin was

at just 35 per cent of normal. For the Okanagan-Kettle basin, it was pegged at 76 per cent of normal. “With below normal snow packs and an earlier snow melt in many regions for this time of year, summer low-flow periods are expected to occur earlier than normal,” the bulletin said. Areas of concern include most of the Southern Interior. “Lower summer flows are expected in these regions if spring and summer weather is near normal or drier (and) hotter than normal,” it concluded.

Agriculture bumped again

espite all of the talk, it’s obvious the provincial government doesn’t care about agriculture and its role in the economy. Since June 2008, there have been seven agriculture ministers. Now it should be pointed out that Stan Hagen tragically died in office but the rest have been a revolving door of new faces. Agriculture is complex as the commodities range from Okanagan fruit and Fraser Valley vegetables to Cariboo beef and coastal seafood. All of them experience diverse challenges, including international competition and urban growth. As it is, a minister has barely found the washroom, let alone become comfortable with the job, and the deck’s being shuffled again. Norm Letnick, the outgoing MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country Richard Rolke was shown the door last week, after only being minister since September 2012. While a college instructor by profession, Letnick demonstrated a clear interest in promoting agriculture, even going as far as hosting a dinner comprised of nothing but B.C. products. And perhaps because of where he lives, he showed an affinity for the Okanagan scene and he made himself available to industry representatives and politicians. Regional District of North Okanagan officials are being polite as they will have to work with Pat Pimm, the new minister, but they are clearly disappointed to see Letnick gone. They had established a good working relationship with him and they felt progress was being made to ease up on onerous meat processing rules. They will now have to start from scratch, making Pimm aware of the North Okanagan’s specific concerns. Speaking to a friend who raises livestock,

her response was, “Argh, yet another new minister that we have to teach all about it.” If you look over the same time period, there has been stability for ministries related to forestry and mining. There’s even a portfolio for natural gas development now. Of course that isn’t a surprise as natural gas is the economic flavour of the month. But it’s important to note that agriculture isn’t a sunset industry. According to ministry figures, agriculture, aquaculture, commercial fishing and food processing generated $10.9 billion in combined gross revenue in 2011. Of that, there was $2.4 billion in international exports and $3.6 billion in interprovincial exports. Here in the North Okanagan, numerous families still depend on farming for their livelihood and the money they make goes back into restaurants, grocery stores, auto dealerships and other businesses. Obviously establishing a cabinet was challenging for Premier Christy Clark. She has to consider a range of factors such as skill base and ensuring every region of the province has a voice. But it’s still difficult to know why Letnick was bumped out of agriculture and named parliamentary secretary to the premier for intergovernmental affairs. A government news release said the position of parliamentary secretary to the premier for intergovernmental affairs will have him working with the provincial Intergovernmental Relations Secretariat in the premier’s office to further the interests of B.C. at intergovernmental events. Huh? No wonder Letnick isn’t sure what his new duties will entail. Pimm comes from the Peace River country, which is a hub for grain production. But his career experience is in oil and gas and political life has seen him involved in the aboriginal affairs and finance committees. There is the chance that Pimm may be a strong voice for agriculture, but given what has happened in recent years, he may not want to get too attached to the minister’s office.

Vernon council has tried to portray itself as fiscally prudent, and steps taken through the core services review certainly enforce that position. However, the elected officials must realize that they continue to face a perception issue and that is related to staff wages. In 2012, the city paid out $21.4 million for employee compensation and expenses, with 91 individuals earning more than $75,000. In comparison, wages went from $18.8 million in 2010 to $20.9 million in 2011. During that time, the number of staff earning more than $75,000 soared from 66 to 82. Mayor Rob Sawatzky is correct when he attributes the higher compensation costs to the cost of living and contractual obligations. A couple of large fires also bumped up overtime for firefighters. However, Sawatzky comes across as cavalier when he says, “A point of endless debate is how much government do you want and how much do you want it to do.” Yes, the city provides services based on residents’ needs and wants, and that requires a skilled workforce, which the city has. But Sawatzky and the rest of council can’t forget that many taxpayers don’t earn close to what civic workers take home. And in some cases, there have been no cost of living increases, which translates to a pay cut. Given the city’s own figures, the perception is that the cost of running the municipality continues to climb despite the economic climate. In reality, likely little can be done to rein in costs as the city depends on its dedicated workers to operate, but mayor and council must show some understanding towards those who are paying the bill.

Fuel tax has broad impact

ere we go again with another brilliant idea from Vernon city council endorsing a call for the provincial fuel tax to be increased. It's another chance to tax we the people. The increase would be only one-tenth of a cent they say, as if this doesn't mean a lot. This would only be the door opening to more increases down the road as these different councils think of more ways, or excuses, to apply funds that they haven't budgeted for. This tax doesn't just affect the people who live in the City of Vernon. Do you realize the amount of people living just outside of the city boundaries who access Vernon every day from Coldstream, Lumby, Armstrong, Parker Cove and surrounding areas? These people work and shop, plus attend entertainment events and do volunteer work, on a daily basis. These people don't have a say in any deci-

As quoted by the mayor, "these funds will assist in funding for sidewalks and bicycle trails." He believes an expanded pedestrian network would ease the city's financial burdens by shifting traffic away from roads. He said this is logical because people burning gas are the ones who require us to maintain the roads. It is hoped this isn't the progressive thinking of the city fathers of Vernon. Perhaps we should revert back to the horse and buggy days of yesteryear and enjoy the cow trails of old again.

Police close down booth roger knox Morning Star Staff

A man with alleged ties to the Hells Angels caused a scene in Lumby Saturday. Shortly before 2 p.m., Lumby RCMP officers stopped to investigate a Hells Angel Motorcycle Club merchandise booth set-up. “It was a trailer and a canopy that was set up at Glencaird Street and Norris Avenue,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “The vendor and his co-worker, a woman, were advised to pack up and move on as they had been declined a vendor application by the Village of Lumby for the weekend.” The 58th annual Lumby Days celebrations were on over the weekend at Oval Park and other spots in the village. The intersection of Glencaird and Norris is about a block away from the Lumby RCMP detachment. The man made a point to cause a scene and argue with the officers. He was arrested for obstruction as he would not identify himself and he started

to resist arrest. “He was taken into custody and transported to Vernon RCMP cells,” said Molendyk. “There are indications he is associated with the Hells Angels because of what he was wearing.” The man, 43, from Coquitlam, later identified himself in cells and has since been released from custody on a promise to appear in Vernon Provincial Court. The woman co-worker also did not identify herself. However, she did dismantle the sales tent and leave the area. Police said it was a quiet weekend surrounding Lumby Days with no major incidents to report.

Lake Country intruder sought Morning Star Staff

A Lake Country resident experienced a scary situation when arriving home Saturday. At about 9:24 p.m., an 18-year-old girl returned to her Teresa Road home and noticed the silhouette of someone walking inside. She went to a neighbour to call for help. “The girl’s neighbour attended to the rear of the residence and confronted the suspect male who fled on foot and subsequently dropped the items taken during the residential break-in,” said Const. J.L. O’Donaghey. Once on scene, RCMP officers determined entry into the home was gained through a rear window. “Two lap top computers, jewelry, watches, perfume and electronics chargers were taken. All items taken were recovered,” said O’Donaghey.

Mystery shopper scam surfaces Morning Star Staff

A skeptical Lake Country woman alerted police Monday when she received an unsolicited cheque for nearly $4,000 and a letter recruiting her to become a mystery shopper. The woman opened her mail to find an unsolicited letter detailing how to make an extra $450 to $550 a week by working as a “mystery shopper.” Inside the letter was a cheque for $3,980 with instructions to cash the cheque and a list of how it was to be distributed. In this particular case, $3,190 of the money was to be wired by Money Gram or Western Union. “The cheque is counterfeit, of course, and the whole set up is a scam,” said RCMP spokesperson Const. Kris Clark. “If the cheque was to be cashed and the money wired, the victim would be accountable to repay those funds and the scammer would be laughing all the way to the bank.” Clark said it’s a classic example of the mystery shopper scam which is similar to cheque overpayment fraud. If you receive a cheque in the mail, or a significant overpayment for services rendered, and the sender asks for a large portion to be returned via a money wiring service, Clark said you can bet your bottom dollar that it’s a scam. “Ask yourself, ‘Why did they send too much money?’ or ‘Why am I paying other mystery shoppers?’” said Clark.

Police probe fencing Morning Star Staff

Armstrong RCMP are asking for the public’s help in identifying two suspects involved in the dumping of fencing equipment onto private properties in Enderby.

Police believe the unloading occurred sometime between the hours of 10 p.m. June 4 and 6 a.m. on June 5 where barb wire, fence posts and plywood were strewn across properties on Crawford Road. A possible suspect vehicle is a white truck with a blue tarp in the box. The licence plate number is unknown.

Art appraisers uncover local treasures Historical paintings of Enderby Cliffs and S.S. Sicamous to go on auction block Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

A rare and important painting of Enderby’s Giant’s Head Castle Mountain, better known as the Enderby Cliffs, is about to go on auction. The painting, done by American artist Grafton Tyler (G.T.) Brown (1841-1918), was shown to appraiser and Vancouver auction house owner Anthony Westbridge when he visited the Vernon Public Art Gallery in May with Vernon antiques appraiser Peter Blundell. The painting shows the ranch of Enderby pioneer A.L. Fortune, one of the first European settlers in the Okanagan, at the head of navigation on the “Spallumcheen River, October 6, 1882,” which is now known as the Shuswap River. The cliffs, which are now deemed as a provincial park, loom overhead. “I didn’t know who G.T. Brown was when the work was first brought to me in Vernon,” said Westbridge. “But a little research soon showed what an important and much sought after artist he is.” The painting was executed from a sketch done by Brown in 1882 while he served as an expedition artist for the Amos Bowman Geological Survey in B.C. The purpose of the survey was to map and record the wilderness east of the Cascade Mountains along the Fraser River, said Westbridge.

Photo submitted

the 130-year-old painting, Giant’s Head Castle Mountain, by Grafton tyler (G.t.) Brown shows the ranch of a.L. Fortune below the enderby Cliffs. Born to a freed slave in Harrisburg, Penn., Brown was considered the first professional African-American artist to have created works depicting California and the Pacific Northwest. “He completed a series of 22 paintings in 1883 based on his sketches from his survey trip, which were then exhibited in June of that year in Victoria at the New Colonist Buildings,” said Westbridge. “The painting of Giant’s Head was number 22 in the exhibition. Only one other work from the 22 exhibited in Victoria has appeared at auction in recent history, and this was a View of Lake Okanagan that sold for $40,000 at Sotheby’s, New York in 2006.” Giant’s Head was originally acquired from an estate auction of the furniture and effects of Mrs. A.L. Fortune in Armstrong in 1931. The painting was then passed on to Alex

and Lois Roberts, who had it displayed in their Enderby home for the past 40 years. Their son, Geordie, a well known singer, music professor and adjudicator, did some research on Brown, and as a result, the Roberts had Westbridge assess the painting. Its estimated worth (uninsured) is between $10,000 and $15,000. “While it is the American collectors who are most interested in his work, it certainly would be great if a local Okanagan collector would purchase it and keep it where it really belongs, here in B.C.,” said Westbridge. While in the Okanagan, Westbridge and Blundell also held clinics at the Penticton and Kelowna art galleries. In Penticton, Westbridge was shown another local painting showing the S.S. Sicamous

sternwheeler on Okanagan Lake. The piece was painted by prominent Vernon-born artist Janet Holly Middleton (1920-1989.) Middleton enjoyed an impressive artistic career that included studying at the Slade School in London, England, and the Emma Lake School in Saskatchewan, as well as a teaching spell at the Banff School of Fine Arts. The S.S. Sicamous is a five-decked sternwheeler built by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1914. It was used for lake service between the fruit communities of Penticton, Kelowna and Vernon and operated on Okanagan Lake until 1937, connecting rail lines and surrounding areas. The vessel is currently beached as part of a heritage shipyard operated by the Penticton Museum and Archives. Middleton’s painting will be included in the June 23 auction alongside the G.T. Brown piece and other works consigned during the series of appraisals clinics, among them a magnificent 17th century portrait of Lady Susan Hamilton by renowned Scottish portrait painter William Aikman. “There’s a wealth of wonderful paintings in the Okanagan, and we had an excellent three days appraising a broad range of Canadian and international pieces,” said Westbridge. “This was our third visit to the Okanagan and we look forward to coming back again next year, if not before. We have even discussed the possibility of holding one of our quarterly auctions in the region.” The complete catalogue for the Westbridge auction can be viewed online at www.westbridgeauctions.com. The sale also offers out-of-town collectors the opportunity to bid live online if they are unable to make it to the sale.

Artist has painting featured on package for Canadian-inspired beer Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

It’s one of this nation’s favourite alcoholic beverages, but this particular one is quintessentially Canadian. Its flavour is black cherrywood finished with a dash of maple syrup. And it’s brewed in Edinburgh, Scotland, of all places. Yes, those brewers of fine Scottish ale, Innis and Gunn, have released yet another Canadian celebratory brew. But what is also Canadian is the artwork that will soon be on all of its packaging for the company’s fifth annual brew in honour of its loyal Canadian following. After a nationwide call for artwork, Shuswap artist Tatianna O’Donnell won the opportunity to have her oil painting, Forest Spectrum, featured on packaging for Innis and Gunn’s Canadian Cherrywood Finish Scotch ale. O’Donnell, who currently resides on the Grandview Bench in between Enderby and Salmon Arm, is a member of the Enderby

artist tatianna o’Donnell, left, is about to have one of her paintings emblazoned on the packaging of innis and Gunn’s Canadian Cherrywood Finish scotch ale. Artists Initiative, which recently opened the new Courtyard Art Gallery in Enderby, and is an elected member of the Society of Canadian Artists (SCA). “For the past few years, Innis

and Gunn have called for work from the SCA artists for their Canadian limited edition beer in the spring,” said O’Donnell, when contacted by The Morning Star. “This beer is targeted at young

active men between the ages of 25 and 45, so I chose a work that represents an active area of Canada. This is a painting of the Rockies. Young people like to go to the Rockies for all sorts of activities. When I was hiking there a few years ago, I collected sketches and photographs of the area for future reference for paintings.” This is also not the first time the brewing company has supported Canadian artists, and in particular here in the B.C. Interior. O’Donnell follows in the footsteps of Cherryville’s Gary Whitley, whose painting, Emblems, was used on the packaging of Innis and Gunn’s limited edition Canada Day 2012 Scottish beer. Innis and Gunn chose O’Donnell’s painting from the selected work that was sent in to them for jurying, and says the piece captured the spiritual and cultural heart of Canada. “The entries for this year’s competition were really strong, so many had answered the brief with great submissions,” said Innis

and Gunn’s international brand manager Nic Rennie. “We chose Tatianna’s painting because of the rich colour palette and sweeping strokes. The overall effect is quite dramatic on the carton.” The Canadian Cherrywood Finish is a purely Canadian connection, marking the first time in the company’s 10-year history to mature its annual brew using a wood other than oak. It also features the addition of maple syrup, which gives the beer a sweet, toasty twist. This year also marks the company’s third consecutive year working with the SCA to find original artwork for its limited edition beer packaging. “It feels a little odd to have my painting associated with a beer. I never thought that I would get this much publicity from something like this,” said O’Donnell. “What is nice is that my name, and information about myself is being publicized on each package. And I have discovered that it is a very popular beer, especially among the young men I have met.”

Vernon alt. rock band Amistad releases its new EP Friday Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

You might not think so at first glance, but bands Panic! at the Disco, Incubus, and Creedence Clearwater Revival have one thing in common. Despite the fact that each band is from a different era, their members were still in high school when they put out their first recordings. The members of Vernon band Amistad can now put themselves in that same category. With its members ranging in age from 13 to 16, Amistad is about to have its first recording release party at Vernon’s Powerhouse Theatre Friday. Amistad’s EP, consisting of five original songs, was recorded, produced and engineered by student Travis Camm at the Centre for Arts and Technology in Kelowna. The entire EP was written after band members and their families went on a five-day hike on the Chilkoot Trail in Alaska last August. Some of the songs were written about events that occurred during that hike as well as the overall experience, said 14-year-old lead singer/ guitarist Aidan Andrews. “We usually draw inspiration from all different genres

Vernon band amistad holds a release party at Powerhouse theatre Friday for its recently recorded eP. and styles of music when we write, so our sound is like a mixture of everything we listen to individually, but it always comes together as a song in the end,” he said. “We usually just go with being alternative because it’s such a wide and diverse genre.” Andrews joins lead guitarist Brent Matterson, 16, and his brother, keyboardist/ vocalist Craig Matterson,14, in the band. Rounding out the rhythm section on drums and bass respectively are 13-year-old

twin brothers Carson and Nolan Bassett. The latter brother also sings and plays the trumpet. Since forming a few years ago, Amistad has already given a number of public performances, including the Jessica Eaman memorial concert at Polson Park June 2. The band has also competed in the Our Kids Have Talent the past two years, and won best stage performance in 2012. “Since last year, we’ve developed a new determination and a new drive to deliver

the best shows possible to our audience,” said Andrews. “If anybody is having any doubts about us, I recommend you come check out a show. We’re for playing our music live, and I can promise that we will give it everything we’ve got for you, if you just give us a chance.” Opening for Amistad Friday is fellow up-and-coming band Siesta Motel. Doors to Powerhouse Theatre open at 6:30 p.m. and the concert starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5, in advance at the Bean Scene coffee house or at the door.

The band, which played the Interior Provincial Exhibition last year, has been woodshedding, quite literally, in a Crescent Beach wood working shop, preparing new songs for a new record this fall. “We were loaned a friend’s woodworking shop that serves as a swell studio. Our gear is nestled in between table saws, jointers and other shop tools. First one there on practice nights sweeps up the sawdust and lights

Arts Have a groovy time at Gatzke Orchards’ Woodstock Revival Morning Star Staff

Get out your love beads, rose-tinted glasses and bell bottoms for Gatzke Orchards’ ode to ‘60s culture and music at its second annual Woodstock Revival festival July 5 to 7. Gatzke Orchards is a third generation familyowned and operated farm, steeped in agricultural history since 1929. “There could not be a better setting for this event,” said Joe Pinheiro of Go Events, who is producing the festival with Alan Gatzke, Gatzke Orchards and blues musician Jason Buie. “The festival offers on-site camping, food and drink (breakfast, lunch and dinner), beer gardens, an arts and crafts fair, vendors, prizes for the bestdressed hippies, nonstop entertainment and the best in live music. “This is an all ages event; it is safe and fun for the whole family.” Gates open at 4 p.m. Friday, July 5 and visitors are encouraged to arrive early, set up camp and start enjoying the festival. A drum circle will start the festivities from 6 to 9 p.m. followed by a DJ and dance. A Saturday morning pancake breakfast will be followed by a full day of live music. “This year’s event features some of the finest talent from the Okanagan and the Lower Mainland,” said Pinheiro. Acts include Kathy Frank, who will be doing a Janis Joplin Tribute, while Buie will pay tribute to Jimi Hendrix. Also appearing is blues diva Ellie Johnson, Floyd Vedan, Linda-Sue Wilson, David “Boxcar” Gates, Dan Engelland and special guests. On Sunday, everyone is encouraged to register for the all-ages talent show, which will run from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. At 1 p.m. the festival will start its Battle of the Bands, where four Okanagan area acts will compete for a spot at next year’s festival. “Each band will play

their best rendition of three songs from the original Woodstock fes-

tival,” said Pinheiro. At 4 p.m., Sabrina Weeks and Swing Cat

Bounce closes the festival. Tickets are $40 for a

three-day pass and $25 for a day pass, available at Gatzke Orchards

located on Highway 97 in Oyama, between Vernon and Kelowna.

Finances get green light roger knox

Morning Star Staff

Chris Henderson was only kidding when he suggested the Township of Spallumcheen consider giving away some of its many roads to help with its finances. Henderson, from Enderby-based Rossworn Henderson Chartered Accountants, threw in the little chuckle when delivering the township’s audited financial statement for 2012. Henderson’s report showed the township in good shape financially. “Spallumcheen is a very Janice Brown wide-ranging entity with a large amount of roads and those roads are expensive,” said Henderson. “In order to cover your deficit that is effectively being built, you would need to raise taxes substantially, which is not necessarily a great plan either. I’ll leave that to council to sort out that issue. Perhaps you could give some roads away.” Henderson’s report showed that the township, in 2012, put $1.8 million into specific infrastructure, including $1.4 million into roads, and $200,000 for road equipment. A very significant amount of money was spent on infrastructure and equipment. Problem is, there is about $3.3 million worth of depreciation on an annual basis. “What that means is that although you spent $2 million, you actually went backwards by $1.3 million,” said Henderson. “On an ongoing basis, assuming depreciation rates are reasonable based on the infrastructure you have and the service potential you want to provide, that can’t go on forever, at least not without additional funding from sources such as grants or tax base.” At the end of 2012, Spallumcheen’s assets totaled $6.2 million, up from $5.3 million at the end of

2011, with most of that represented by cash. Debt increased somewhat to $1.4 million at the end of the year compared to $900,000 the year before, but all the debt was represented. That included a large payment to Urban Systems Ltd. for the widening of Otter Lake Road, a parks and recreation subsidy and paying more for policing costs. Revenues came in just under budget at $6 million ($6.2 million was budgeted) and just over last year at $5.9 million. In 2012, Spallumcheen paid $140,000 in interest and penalties after budgeting $72,000. “The budget doesn’t include interest on reserves, which is money set aside for particular purposes,” said Henderson. “And, in a sign of the times, there is more interest and penalties earned on unpaid and delinquent taxes.” Grants and subsidies came in $300,000 under the $1.4 million budgeted for thanks to an anticipated grant that didn’t come in. Most of Spallumcheen’s spending in 2012 was less than the year before except in protective services, though that was anticipated by Spallumcheen staff with having to pay more for policing costs. And then there’s the township’s amortization, which includes that depreciation figure Henderson mentioned. “The total of $3.2 million is slightly more than last year but you don’t budget for depreciation, most municipalities don’t do that,” he said. “You expected a $1.97 million surplus but in reality you have a $1 million deficit that includes depreciation, which is not cash out the door, it’s cash that was paid in the past.” Henderson said Spallumcheen’s year-end figures are “good, dependable numbers” and that council can make decisions based on the numbers in the audited statements. “Hopefully, we’ll continue to be strong,” said Mayor Janice Brown.

Safety team hits local lakes Morning Star Staff

The Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue boating safety team in Vernon will be coming alongside boaters this summer. Boat owners will be offered a free safety check under a new program sponsored by Transport Canada. “Our boating safety team in Vernon will have more opportunity to connect with the boating public, help boaters ensure they have all of the safety gear they need and promote what we call search and rescue prevention,” said Jim Lee, RCM-SAR president. The vessel safety survey program is voluntary and will be provided as a courtesy to boaters who request it. Crews will approach vessels and offer to check items such as personal floatation devices, signaling devices, fire extinguishers, bailers,

WESTWOLD FIRST RESPONDER FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION SERVICE ESTABLISHMENT

NOTICE OF ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS TAKE NOTICE that the Board of Directors of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) intends to adopt Electoral Area “L” (Westwold) First Responder Financial Contribution Service Establishment Bylaw No. 2420, 2013 unless, by the deadline, at least 10% or more of the eligible electors residing or owning property in the proposed service area indicate that the Board of Directors must obtain the assent of the electors before proceeding. General Description: The intent of Bylaw No. 2420 is to establish the Westwold First Responder Financial Contribution Service to fund future contributions towards the operation of a first responder program within a portion of Area “L”. Funding for the service will be provided by requisitioning annually, under Section 803(1)(a) of the Local Government Act, a maximum of $8,000.00 or $0.077 cents per $1,000 of the net taxable value of land and improvements in the service area. The boundaries of the Westwold First Responder Financial Contribution Service area are outlined on Schedule “A” to Bylaw No. 2420, and can be viewed at www.tnrd.ca. Click on Westwold First Responder AAP located in the Quick Links. Elector Response Form: Elector Response must be in the form established by the Board of Directors and is available at the offices of the TNRD during regular office hours noted below or from the TNRD website at www.tnrd.ca.

these safety surveys will reduce the likelihood of people needing to be rescued,” said Bob Montguire, Vernon station leader. “It also allows us to spend more time on the water along with our regular training and

shore-based boating safety education.” The Vernon RCMSAR team uses a 19-foot Boston Whaler boat. For more information, go to http://rcmsar. com/sar-prevention/ vessel-safety-surveyprogram

Who May Sign the Elector Response Form: Electors (resident or owner of property) within the boundaries of the Westwold First Responder Financial Contribution Service Area are the only persons entitled to sign the Elector Response Form. An elector is a person who meets the requirements and qualifications defined by the Local Government Act and will be described in detail on the Elector Response Form. The Board of Directors has resolved that a fair estimate of the total number of electors in the subject area shall be 620. Section 86 (1) (d) of the Community Charter requires that to negate the alternative approval process, 10% or more (62 or more) eligible electors must sign the Elector Response Form to prevent the Board of Directors from proceeding with the adoption of the above noted bylaw without the assent of the electors (referendum). Deadline: The Elector Response Form must be submitted to the undersigned before 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 16, 2013. Office Hours: A copy of the bylaw and the Elector Response form may be inspected on and printed from the TNRD’s website at www.tnrd.ca, or both documents may be picked up at the TNRD office, at #300, 465 Victoria Street, Kamloops, BC during regular office hours, Monday to Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Any questions may be directed to the undersigned by calling (250) 377-8673 or 1-877-377-8673 (toll free in BC).

Invasive species pose a threat Morning Star Staff

What do the zebra mussel, yellow starthistle and Brazilian elodea have in common? They are all invasive species that do not occur in B.C. They are, however, right on our door step. Invasive Species Week runs until Sunday and a number of public events are planned. “Invasive species know no boundaries; they span landscapes, land ownerships and jurisdictions,” said Lisa Scott, Okanagan and Similkameen Invasive Species Society co-ordinator. “Because of this, it’s imperative that we work co-operatively to address the issue. We all need to take responsibility.” Invasive species are plants, animals, aquatic life and micro-organisms that out-compete native species when introduced outside of their natural environ-

There is concern that quagga mussels will find their way into Okanagan lakes. ment. They can come from across the country or across the globe. These unwelcome invaders create an imbalance in nature by competing for the same resources that native species need to survive. The economic costs associated with invasive species in Canada are measured in the tens of

billions of dollars, and those costs are escalating. Of particular concern in the Okanagan Valley is the potential arrival of zebra and quagga mussels. “These freshwater invertebrates rapidly colonize hard surfaces and can clog water-intake structures,

impact recreation and devastate local fisheries,” said Scott. “In the Okanagan, the effects of their invasion would be felt at the commercial activity level, throughout the tourism sector and at the ecological level. Direct costs and lost revenues are estimated to be $42 million per year.” Scott said prevention of harmful new invasions is the first priority, as it is the most costeffective way to deal with the problem. “Once species are established, the task becomes far more complex and costly. The issue of invasive aquatic species is a particularly hot topic this year and it’s the focus of an Okanagan-wide campaign this summer.” Invasive Species Week will see OASISS representatives at the Vernon Farmers Market Thursday from

8 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Lake Country Farmers Market Friday from 3 to 5 p.m., Paddlewheel Park Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Cosens Bay Saturday from 2 to 5 p.m. and Kekuli Bay Provincial Park Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Go to www.oasiss.ca for more information.

This is a strategic future-oriented decision that demonstrates ongoing commitment to the transformation of the industry.” The forest sector has forecasted that this investment will produce $20 billion in economic activity in new markets, innovative new products as well as a need for 60,000 more forest workers by the end of the decade. Governments do not create jobs, business does. However, government must partner with sectors in the economy to ensure new foreign market agreements and innovation makes Canada more competitive globally. These measures are all part of your government’s economic action plan that has provided jobs, growth and prosperity for Canadians. To echo the Canadian Steel Producers Association, “Budget 2013-14 presents new longterm commitments… with measures that will strengthen growth prospects for Canadian manufacturing and the people and communities that depend on it.”

The government of Canada invested in research and development of new forest products as well as opening new markets. We allocated in past budgets, $127 million to help the struggling forest industry during the economic downturn to find new markets and develop new products with Colin Mayes wood fiber. This has resulted in a turn-around for the forest industry. Now, the new markets in the Pacific Rim have revived the industry. In budget 2013-14, your government budgeted an additional $92 million, over two years, to support innovation and expand markets.

Course encourages safe use of scooters Morning Star Staff

It’s one of the City of Vernon RCMP Safe Communities Unit’s most popular courses. The annual Scooter Safety Course is designed for electric mobility users (electric scooter, electric mobility chairs), family and friends of users and those interested in the operation, use and purchase of independent pedestrian mobility machines. The course will run June 20, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Schubert Centre. It will consist of inside instruction on operation, safety, traffic laws and maintenance of your mobility device. “We then proceed to the outside ‘roadeo’ portion where any and all are invited to operate and practice first-hand the safe operation of the devices

by turning right and left, crossing intersections, hand signals, backing up and changing direction with your machines,” said Ed Howard, the safe communities unit’s seniors and business programs coordinator. Extra machines will be supplied for use and demonstration purposes. This is a must-have for the safe operation of pedestrian mobility machines used on city sidewalks and local roadways not bearing sidewalk availability. The course is absolutely free of charge (coffee and cookies supplied) and there will be door prizes. Those interested need to pre-register if possible with the safe communities unit at 250-550-7840, but walk-ins are always welcomed.

United girls rate top twin billings Morning Star Staff

The Vernon United Under 13 girls will carry the top seed in the Thompson Okanagan Rep Soccer League playoffs this weekend in Kamloops. United, coached by Al Gee, bounced the Kamloops Blaze 3-1 Sunday at Marshall Field #4 to win the league at 7-0-2. Dannika Roy was unstoppable with two goals and numerous attacks down the right flank. Alex Lockwood buried a beautiful strike from 22 yards out and was solid in midfield. Kalli Hamilton-Gee enjoyed a strong game in midfield, winning tackles and distributing well to the frontrunners. Alyssa Racine played goal for the first time ever and did a great job with huge support from the back four. “With keeper Shauna Bradley injured, our d-line had to really tighten up holding off a hustling Kamloops side,” said Gee. United takes on the Penticton Pinnacles in the first round of playdowns at McArthur Island Sports Centre. The Vernon United Under 14 girls will also carry No. 1 ranking in the Thompson Okanagan Rep Soccer League playoffs this weekend in Kamloops. Super sniper Caleigh Graham scored a deuce as United ambushed host Revelstoke Avalanche 5-0 Sunday at Queen Elizabeth Park. Ashley Glinsbockel, Millie Harron and Ailish Curran, with her first of the season, completed the United offence. Marina Dempsey registered the shutout as United finished at 9-1-2. “It was a well played, controlled game by Vernon throughout,” said United head coach Michelle Hughes. Graham and Glinsbockel supplied goals as United blanked Kelowna United 2-0 Wednesday night at Beasley Park in Lake Country. Dempsey earned the clean sheet. United U16 girls ended up second at 4-1-4 after a solid 3-3 draw with leagueleading Kelowna at Parkinson #8 Rec Field. Aryana Jacura, Hannah Love and Tamara Andronik, in the last minute of play, handled the offence for John Hughes’ crew. The U15 girls capped an undefeated 7-0-1 season by blanking Kamloops 5-0 Sunday and shutting down the Pinnacles 3-0 Saturday, both at Marshall. Brett Bandy’s bunch gave up just two

off with the first goal of the match from a Thompson long shot. Creative movement in the middle of the field, and tic-tac-toe play by midfielders Durfeld, Grace Atkins and Olivia Sawka applied constant pressure. Keeper Danica Ariano was on her game in the first half, but Kelowna gained a lucky bounce for the 1-1 tally after a stellar save by Ariano. United’s never-say-die attitude was impressive, led by forward Keira Correias, who had her best showing of her season. United #2 U11 girls extended their undefeated streak to 11 games by drawing 2-2 with Kelowna White and clipping previously unbeaten Kelowna Black 3-2 Sunday in Salmon Arm. Inspired defensive play by Sienna Belanger, Nadia Smith, Elliana Gutknecht and Emily Sorochuk kept the game versus Kelowna White within reach until the offence perked up. Kelowna led 2-0 at the break. After a neat four-way passing play up the left side, Olivia McLennan finished a beauty and the game was on. Pouring the pressure on, Kelsey Falk, Thomas and McLennan worked the ball into the 18 with Lynley Gordon-Mason getting the equalizer running the ball and herself into the net. In Game 2, United fell behind before Elena Gaskell tied it with a hard corner. Vernon keeper Hailey Yablonski made some marvellous diving saves with United trailing 2-1 at the half. roger knox/morning star McLennan levelled the score with a deterVernon United's Daniel Paskiewich (left) breaks away from Shuswap defender Nikolas Zaff during mined shot which careened off a Kelowna Thompson Okanagan Youth Soccer League U13 boys rep action Sunday at Marshall Field. defender.

Tigers tie up Flames Morning Star Staff

Some last-minute equipment changes, and no national anthem or PA announcing had the Vernon Source For Sports Tigers feeling out of sorts Saturday night at Kal Tire Place. The Cats had to scramble to replace their facemasks as part of a league mandate, causing half the players to miss warmup. There was even concern the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League game would have to be postponed. When the 8-2-1 Cats did take the floor, they struggled to find rhythm as they ran to a 12-12 draw against the ever-improving South Okanagan Flames. “It was just a bunch of unfortunate events,” said Tigers’ veteran Nolan Frame. “It kind of threw us off our game. “We took them (Flames) too Lisa VanderVeLde/Morning star lightly, just thinking they’re Ryan Sarazin of the Vernon Tigers is hounded by John Ciardullo of the close to last place and it didn’t South Okanagan Flames in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League turn out that way.” play Saturday night at Kal Tire Place.

Legends lock up silver Morning Star Staff

The North Okanagan B1 Legends struck Bantam silver in their Rock the House Lacrosse Tournament last weekend in Armstrong. The Legends fell 10-6 to the Langley Thunder in the goldmedal game, with the Thunder jumping out to a three-goal lead. Chase Bronson got the Legends on the board before the end of the first period. A lively second frame saw the Legends outscore the Thunder 4-3, with Riley Swiscoski netting two, Shelby Connors and Tanner Franje-Gilbert adding singles. Langley pulled away in the third period to secure gold. Mason Pool scored the lone third-period tally for North Okanagan. North Okanagan opened the tourney with an 11-5 win over West Kootenay on Friday. Bronson led the Legends with six goals, while Brett Williams had 1+4. Connors, Kaylan Lawrence, Pool and Franje-Gilbert each had singles. In their second tilt, the Legends drubbed the Kelowna Kodiaks 15-1, with Bronson notching another five goals, and 2+2 each coming from Franje-Gilbert, Connors, Tyler Riva and Swiscoski. Brody Drydyk and Pool added singles. Taylor Pelletier had his shutout bid spoiled late in the game. North Okanagan bowed 10-3 to Langley in its final preliminary. Williams, Riva and Pool supplied singles. The battle-weary Legends then wrapped up league play Monday with a 7-3 win over host Kamloops. Down a goal after one period, North Okanagan’s offence came alive with singles by Connors, Swiscoski, Franje-Gilbert and Bronson. A penalty-filled third period saw the Legends take advantage of poor Kamloops discipline, with Connors, Bronson and Williams finishing the scoring. Meanwhile, the B2 Legends turned in a bronze-medal showing at the Rock the House, collecting the hardware after a 9-1 pounding of Coquitlam.

Jake Pelletier turned the hat trick, Seth Ansley scored twice, and Tyson Reschke, Travis Aeichele, Cody Webb and Josh Melbourne each had one goal. In round-robin play, the B2 Legends shaded Coquitlam 5-3, fell 9-1 to Langley and finished with a 7-4 decision over West Kootenay. The Bantam A2 Legends pocketed silver in Armstrong, falling 6-5 to the Prince George Posse in Sunday’s championship game at Hassen Memorial Arena. Legend scoring came from returning captain Stephane Richard (2), Jakob Schweb (2) and Conor Webb, assists by Brady Marzocco and Niklas Luttmerding. Call-up Stephan Wells fit in well with the physical play between the teams. North Okanagan opened tournament play by brushing back Prince George 7-5 at Hassen. The Posse led 5-4 going into the third period, but the Legends scored twice in the final two minutes to secure the win. Webb (2+1), Cameron Lock (2), Marzocco, Jayden JensenHunter and Luttmerding handled the offence. Brett Olsen supplied 3+1 as the Legends calmed the Rockyview Rage of Cochrane 6-5 Saturday at Nor-Val Sports Centre. Webb (2+1), Marzocco and Schweb took care of the other offence. Troy Cuzzetto was stellar in net. North Okanagan fell 10-4 to the Coquitlam Adanacs later Saturday at Hassen. Trailing 8-0 going into the third, Schweb (2), Webb and Jensen-Hunter scored to make the scoreline respectable. Coquitlam scored four powerplay goals. In Midget B weekend action, the Legends showed up in Kelowna with a goalie and six runners and came home with a 4-1 win over the host Kodiaks on Saturday. Facing a full Kodiak lineup, the Legends never gave up and never took a shift off. In addition to keeping a tidy crease in front of sensational

Jordan Bell, running full tilt into the Kodiaks’ end, ripped one past the Kelowna goalie for the final goal. Kiana Point and Conner Forrest were fast and furious all over the court, passing and blocking shots. Trevor Fors brought speed and awesome passing to the line up.

Tiremen bottle up Tree Brewing Morning Star Staff

Vernon Kal Tire toppled Tree Brewing 4-1 in Kelowna Men’s 35+ Soccer League action Monday night at Marshall Field #4. All five goals came from Kal Tire players. John Duc opened the scoring after a slow start by the Tiremen. A while later, the Brewers (1-7) evened the match when their forward fired and a Kal Tire sweeper deflected the ball over standout keeper Ian Butler. Kal Tire exploded in the second half as Jesse Knight broke free for the go-ahead snipe. A few minutes later, Duc busted through the defence for his second. Duc got the hat trick in the final minutes as he poked a low shot by the storming keeper. The Tiremen (6-3) host winless Kelowna Taco Bell next Monday night at Marshall Field. Meanwhile, the Leko Precast Camels and North Country Appraisals Kickers battled to a scoreless draw in Capri Insurance 45+ League action Monday night at Marshall #5. It was a story of two top teams who couldn’t shoot straight, with the Camels (6-0-1) and Kickers (4-2-1) enjoying an equal share of possession in a highly skilled and entertaining match. Veteran Humpback Al Murphy just missed the far post with a chip shot in the final minutes. Ron Krause of the Camels made a few stellar stops for the shutout, while Kickers’ keeper David Gadd watched shots from the likes of Paul Morgan, Gordie Howard and Steve Milne sail wide most of the night. Brown Benefits of Kelowna overtook the Camels for first place by grounding the subless Vernon Liquor Store Stars (formerly Silver Stars) 6-1 at Parkinson 9 Field. Art Renaud came close to being the first player to score on Brown this season when his thunderous strike hit the crossbar from distance.

While scenes of the Alamo came to mind, the Liquor men gallantry held their ground only conceding two goals before halftime. Grant Campbell cannoned a 25-yard volley which found the net before Stars’ keeper Ted Lurkins could turn his head, while roadrunner Tony Gonzales converted from close.

boys battle for every ball. Two powerful hits by Campbell, one bouncing off Lurkins’ freshly shaved head into the net, the other carried by a huge gust of wind just under the bar from some 50 yards, gave the Browns a 4-0 lead. Undeterred, the Vernon Liquor Store Stars never gave up and were rewarded for all their running with a Renaud free kick that curled into the top right corner. Darryl Hazell, on a breakaway in the 70th

minute, and Larry Kinakin, on a penalty kick, completed the 7-0 Brown attack. John Matejka earned Longhorn Man of the Match honours for the 3-3-1 Liquor Store Stars playing left back, with strong running coming from Dennis Berg and Grant Hislop in the middle of the park. Lake Country FC brushed back Big O Tire-Turn-Key Ogopogos 6-1 at Beasley Park. Steve Reston gave the Lakers (5-2) the early lead before striker John Garner converted a two-on-one play with Paul Hunter to level the score. Reston and Neil McNeil each finished with a deuce for the Lakers, who got singles from Graeme Jenkins and Mike Ley. The bright spot for the injury-riddled Ogopogos (3-4) was centre midfielder Pat Varley, making a rare appearance and earning the Sneakers Man of the Match. Cantinas Pub brushed back the nineman Bosman Accounting 3-2 at Parkinson #16. Henk Bosman scored twice and just missed on two other chances in the first half as Bosman dropped to 0-8. Henk Kampman and Jenne Huberts drew the assists. The accountants had six other superb chances in the second half with Gerry Geelkerken failing twice on breakaways and Bosman hammering two crossbars and shooting wide twice. Bob Fleming volunteered to play net for Bosman and made a handful of firm stops. Doug Roth and Carlos Gutierrez each bagged two goals as the surging Rutland Spirit bounced Brandt’s Creek Pub 4-1 at Mission 71 Park. Franklin Jeri-Leon’s low shot squeaked by a diving Harold Schock and rebounded in off the inside of the post for the Pub crew’s goal. The Spirit improved to 5-3-1, while Brandt’s Creek dropped to 1-6-1.

Under 16 boys draw Revelstoke 2-2 Continued from B1

Wiens then converted a Reed Cashato pass to put Vernon up 3-1 and a few minutes later, Elias Jensen added the fourth. Kamloops snuck back into the game with a penalty kick just before the half. Wiens added his third of the afternoon to round out the scoring. The back line of Peter Hirschkorn, Sam Eggert, Wyatt Carter, Nichols and Connor London was solid, while Gavin Mason and Charis Ondrik ruled the center midfield. Rowan McDonald, Connor Johnston, Kevin Thibault and Cam MacKenzie had solid games on the flanks and Connor Holliday up front. Vernon faces Penticton Pinnacles in first-round playoff action Saturday in Kamloops. The U16 boys drew 2-2 with host Revelstoke after falling 5-2 to Kelowna. Mike Melbourne’s crew led Kelowna 2-1 at the half Saturday at MacDonald Park, but ran out of gas. Michael Williamson and Zac Kronbauer scored for United. In Revelstoke, Bryce Dyck, coming off the back line, scored in his new striker position. Defender Shayne Groeneveld then buried a nice header off a Liam Ross set penalty kick. United plays Kamloops in

first-round playoff action Saturday. The U13 boys ended the regular season by ambushing the Shuswap Selects 7-0 Sunday at Marshall Field. United was bold on and off the ball as they clinched second place. Goals came from Ben Purvis, Perez Vermeulen, Daniel Paskiewich, Adam Murdoch, Bryce Turner, Dylan Huber and Adam Raber. The Les Sinnott Memorial Boys Provincial B Cup goes July 4-7, in Prince George. United boys U11 #2 shaded Kelowna White 2-1 and Kamloops Orange 3-2 Sunday in Kamloops. Liam Glennon opened the scoring early versus Kelowna with a great strike on a lovely through ball from Josh McKeown. Vernon went up 2-0 on a fantastic feed from Kobe Grant and brilliant finish by James Meeks. Makism Chirkoff and Aiden Skinner were great on the wings and Glennon shut down the midfield and was the Boston Pizza Man of the Match. United came out flat and were in tough against Kamloops until Glennon danced around three defenders and placed a great shot. Kamloops countered a few minutes

later, but Grant put Vernon up 2-1 on a great strike on a pass from Matt Reich. Kamloops levelled things before Reich’s shot rebounded to the goal line where Nate Paskiewich tapped it in for the win. Tysen Fairweather, Gavin Medema and Burger King Man of the Match McKeown shut down numerous Kamloops counters. United boys U11 #1 rang up victories in Kamloops, first edging the resilient Penticton Pinnacles 3-2 and then overmatching Kamloops Orange 9-0. Zach Smith opened the scoring versus Penticton on a nice pass from Zach Manthorne. After the Pinnacles replied on a deflection, Red Robin Man of the Match Liam Reid placed a gorgeous 30-metre chip over the keeper for his fifth long-range blast of the year. Isaiah Ondrik broke down the right flank and scored the winner. Kevin Morgan was stellar in goal, and Luc Jones and Devin Hofsink provided quality minutes all over the park. Vernon displayed its firepower against Kamloops with Ondrik pulling the hat trick, with Smith, Morgan, Dawson Martian, Joel Kongsdorf, Reid and Jones, on a beautiful free kick, adding singles. Devin Hofsink recorded the shutout.

McEachran-Law locks Zone title Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Matt McEachranLaw carded a pair of 1-over par 73s to win the Zone 2 junior golf championship last weekend at the Revelstoke Golf Club. McEachran-Law finished six strokes ahead of runner-up Victor Baptiste of Oliver (7775). The Seaton grad had a oneshot lead over Merritt’s Ben McNiven heading into Round 2, and four bogies to start the round had McEachran-Law

reeling. But birdies on all the par-3s, and an eagle on 15 put the finishing touches on the 17-year-old’s third win of the season. The victory also place McEachran-Law ahead of Kelowna’s Stephen Lee for the Order of Merit title. Austin Bosquet stumbled with a second-round 83 to finish 10th. Kelowna’s Madison Kapchinsky (71-71) won the junior girls field, finishing 14 shots ahead of Vernon’s

Mackenzie Barrie. McEachran-Law, Bosquet and Barrie are now preparing for the B.C. junior championships, July 2-6, in Revelstoke. Meanwhile, Hillview’s Keith Vandenbrink tied for third and pocketed $450 in the Two Eagles Men’s Open in West Kelowna. Two Eagles head pro Dean Claggett used home-course knowledge to shoot a 13-under 117 over two rounds on the par-65 track, collecting $800.

Vandenbrink missed the money in Monday’s Callaway Interior PGA Tour stop at The Club at Sage Brush in Merritt. Rob Anderson of the Kelowna Golf & Country Club fashioned a 71 to win the event. Spallumcheen pro Myles Johnson and buddy Jesse Crowe were hoping to play 180 holes Tuesday at Crowe’s Canoe Creek course in Salmon Arm, raising money for ALS.

Gators bow to Fusion in final Morning Star Staff

The White House Mortgage Gators had three cracks at them, but couldn’t solve the Kelowna Fusion in a women’s slo-pitch provincial qualifier tournament last weekend in Kelowna. The Gators fell to Fusion once in the round-robin, again in playoffs and again in the final, settling for runners-up in the double-knockout tourney. In the final, White House struggled to string hits together, while Fusion scored five in the first inning en route to a 7-1 win. They held the Kelowna bats at bay until the fifth when they allowed more runs. The Gators finally got on the scoreboard in the seventh inning on a run by pinch-hitter

Kelli Graham. Vernon scored six first-inning runs on the way to a 13-12 win over Kelowna’s I Candy in their opener. Seven more White House runs in the fourth seemed to put the game out of reach, but I Candy replied with seven in their half of the inning. Jessica Hallam went 3-for-3 and pitcher Belinda Marks each went 3-for-3, while Jen Doyle and Jacquie Anderson each hit 3-for-4 with three RBI. Terri-Rose Thompson, Kate Carter and Kassie Gregoire each smacked a pair of hits as the Gators fell 11-5 to Fusion in their final round-robin. Finding their bats, the Gators opened playoffs by earning an 18-4 mercy-rule win over the

Kelowna Skyline. Taryn Robertson and Brittany Housego both hit 4-for-4, and Carter and Doyle were 3-for-4. Michelle Embleton and Marks each went 3-for-3 as the Gators grounded the Quesnel Squeeze 9-3. Aundra Johnston had two hits. In a rematch with Fusion, the Gators couldn’t defend against the Kelowna bats, falling 18-2. Relegated to the backside of the draw, the White House crew brushed back Squeeze 6-2, with Jenn Thatcher and Gregoire each hitting 2-for-3 to reach the final. The Vernon ladies playoff round starts tonight at Kin Park with the Dozers meeting the Dynamite and the Devils facing the Ice Cold Pitches at 6 p.m.

The Vernon Kal Tire Canadians won the Rutland Rays Pee Wee AA Baseball Tournament for the second straight year. Coached by Rick Leroux, the C’s needed just five innings to stop the Rays 10-0 in Sunday’s final at Edith Gay Park. Game MVP Dawson Chase went the distance, throwing a three-hitter with only one Rutland runner reaching third base. Colton Schaper-Kotter went 2-for-3 with his seventh home run of the tournament. He hit a sizzling .866. Jarod Leroux doubled and singled and held a .733 batting average, while Chase singled twice and finished hitting at an .857 clip. Caden Doyle was 3-for-3 in the final. The C’s, who are 25-4-1 and have only lost to AAA teams, will play a four-game series this weekend in Prince George against the AAA Knights. Vernon opened the tournament by scorching Kamloops 25-10 with Carter Morris going 4-for4 with a dinger and MVP Schaper-Kotter 3-for-3 with a pair of homers. Doyle had four hits, including a triple and double, as the Canadians rocked the Rays 19-11. Chase and Schaper-Kotter both homered with Caden Bracken taking MVP. Vernon then drubbed the West Kelowna Diamondbacks 14-4 with Chase Batchelor and Schaper-Kotter sharing the mound duties. Leroux was MVP and joined Doyle and Zach Orchard with three-hit showings. Schaper-Kotter added two taters, while Parsons hit one. Nick Cherkowski supplied two singles. Morris and Leroux pitched as the C’s ripped the Kamloops Reds 20-10. Chase was 4-for-4 to take MVP, while Doyle and Schaper-Kotter both went 3-for-3 with SchaperKotter homering. Parsons finished the tournament going 10-for14 for a .714 average. Sapien Joe knocked in the winning run as the Best Western Red Sox outlasted the Morgans Glass Lightning 12-8 in Mosquito baseball action at Lakeview Park. Gordon Harmon jumpstarted the Red Sox offnce with a two-run triple in the first inning. The Lightning regained the lead midway through the game thanks to outstanding pitching by Jared Nickoli, holding the Red Sox to only one run in the fourth inning.

SIRB settles into new home The Seniors Information and Resource Bureau continues to offer the services North Okanagan seniors have come to rely on

Cara Brady Morning Star Staff

SIRB (Seniors Information and Resource Bureau) is now part of NOEES (North Okanagan Employment Enhancement Society) at a new location with the same great services. “NOEES is a wonderful organization and this is a wonderful location. We want seniors to know that we are here and that we have the same services for them,” said SIRB manager Dayle Drury. SIRB joins the Volunteer Bureau and the employment services, including programs for older workers, at NOEES. “It has been very busy and a lot more people are coming in but it has all settled down now and everything is running smoothly. Our staff is very supportive of the seniors bureau moving here,” said Lynn Belsher, NOEES executive director. “We are trying to expand our base of services beyond employment and with SIRB and the Volunteer Bureau, we will continue to grow.” Drury thinks seniors will be able to use the office, which is disability-accessible from

street level, more easily now. “We get calls about a lot of issues. Many of them are about housing and transition, getting more help at home or planning to move, which can be overwhelming. We also get calls about caregiver burnout and for help with understanding and filling out forms. We have had people come in with government letters not opened because people are afraid of what is inside and it is very anxiety inducing,” she said. Another source of calls is from people who are visually impaired and need resources, and others who need to use the Volunteer Driver Program. “We’re always looking for ways to help. I think we are in a unique position to identify needs and pass that information on to other organizations to add to their research. We take part in the Seniors Action Network and would like to see more seniors attending meetings to get their perspective. It is not just for organizations,” said Drury. “I think the need for our services is only going to expand. We would like to help people plan and prepare for aging issues before things

We will continue to do everything we can to help people with that.” The SIRB office is now at #102-3201-30th St., across from the old library. The phone number, 250-545-8572,

is the same and e-mail has changed to sirb@noees.com and the website is www.noees. com. Hours are Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed noon to 12:30 p.m. for lunch.

A harvest of snow peas

ast week, I harvested my first snow peas of the season along with the potatoes I was growing in pots. My first tuber pieces had been started in four-inch pots in February and I managed to put them in buckets in April. The bottom of the containers had a bit of soil and the rest was shredded leaves. They came out very nice Jocelyne sewell with no scab and very tasty. I still have more on the go and I like doing it this way. As I will not be doing the market this summer, this will be a time to really clean the garden and pay a little more attention to everything I have growing in the yard. I will use all my grass clippings and left-over shredded leaves to mulch my plants. It makes a big difference where some of the mulch has been applied. The soil doesn’t dry so fast and in the fall, I can just dig it in for amendment with more compost. I had some gladioli bulbs that had

A GArdener’s diAry

started to sprout early in the basement. These were potted individually in fourinch pots and one in a six-inch pot. I finally transplanted them all in a big tub last week, as one of them was already showing buds and they were getting tall. Gladioli are favoured for their beautiful, showy flowers which grow on tall spikes and are often found in cutting gardens or in the back along the border. Gladioli have many different coloured flowers, and grow between two to six feet in height. Good for cut flowers. Plant gladiolus bulbs in the spring once danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Ready your garden by using a garden fork or tiller and loosen the soil to about 12 to 15 inches deep. After loosening the soil, mix in a two– to four– inch layer of compost. Plant your bulbs four to eight inches deep with the pointed end facing up. Bigger bulbs perform better with deep planting and the extra soil around the base of the flower stalks helps support the tall flower-laden stems. Space the corms three to six inches apart. Many growers plant glads at two-week intervals to extend the blooming season. Water the corms thoroughly. Gladioli like well-drained, light soil and full sun. If you’re planting tall

varieties, be sure to stake them at planting time. Be careful not to damage the corms with the stakes. It takes about 90 days from the time gladioli are planted to root, grow, bloom, and store enough energy for the next season. Put a layer of mulch around your gladioli to keep your soil moist and help prevent weeds. Remove the faded or dead flowers to ensure continuous growth. Once all the flowers on a stalk have gone, cut off the stalk. After blooming has finished for the season leave the foliage in place; don’t cut it off. The leaves will gather sunlight, create food through photosynthesis and strengthen the bulb for the future. Water as needed. Leaves and stalks may be removed when they yellow. If you want to save them for next spring, dig the corms after the first frost, cut the stems to two inches, wash the soil off, dry for a few days and then store in a cool place in paper bags or cardboard boxes filled with peat moss. Don’t forget the Okanagan Gardens and Roses annual plant sale June 15 at 9 a.m. in the Village Green Centre. This year, the sale will be held inside the mall. For more information: 250-558-4556.

Rose Scheepbouwer, president of Coldstream Women’s Institute, displays some of the many pillowcases and bags she made for B.C. Children’s Hospital, in response to a challenge issued to all WI branches in BC.

WI answers the call Morning Star Staff

When British Columbia’s Women’s Institute issued a challenge to all WIs in B.C., members of the Coldstream Women’s Institute responded with enthusiasm. The challenge was to make pillow cases for B.C. Children’s Hospital. “B.C. Children’s Hospital’s roots go back to the establishment of a fund for crippled children by the

B.C. Women’s Institute in 1923,” said WI member Linda Frodsham. “The Crippled Children’s Hospital was renamed the Children’s Hospital in 1947. “The name has changed but not the support. Members throughout the province continue to support the children of B.C.” The WI got its start in February 1897 when 100 rural women met in Stoney Creek, Ont., as the first Women’s Institute. Originally

allied with the Farmer’s Institute, the Women’s Institute became an independent entity which maintained strong ties to a variety of agricultural organizations. By 1909, the organization had spread to B.C. and numbered 15 different institutes in various rural communities. By 1911, the British Columbia Agricultural Assistance Act was passed which gave legal recognition to the institutes.

Strawberries are here

ith fresh local strawberries now appearing at the farmers’ markets and local fruit stands, now is a good time to enjoy them fresh in salads and desserts. Today I’ve chosen two recipes with strawberries; the first is a mouth-watering fruit salad whose dressing makes the salad, and the second is strawberry chocolate icebox “cake.” Icebox cakes were popular back in the ‘70s and ‘80s. The melding of all the flavours is done in the refrigcathi Litzenberger erator and although you need to put it together ahead of time, the combination of strawberries and chocolate make for a wonderful dessert. Today’s dessert recipe is great for summer, special occasions, and holidays. It’s cool, refreshing, and you don’t need to turn on the oven! Fresh Fruit with PoPPy seed dressing 1 banana, sliced 1/2 cup orange juice 1 tablespoon lime juice 2 tablespoons poppy seeds 1 tablespoon raspberry vinegar 1/4 teaspoon olive oil 1/4 cup raspberries 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 cup seedless red grapes 1 cup cubed watermelon 1 cup halved fresh strawberries 1 cup cubed cantaloupe 1 cup blueberries 1 cup sliced plums In a blender or food processor, combine banana, orange juice, lime juice, poppy seeds, raspberry vinegar, olive oil, raspberries, salt and

The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation would like to take an opportunity to recognize the volunteers that support the foundation’s vision of creating a future without breast cancer. “To all our volunteers, thank you for your commitment to the cause,” said Alice Lam, events and promotions coordinator for Run for the Cure, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Each year, more than 17,500 volunteers dedicate their time to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. In B.C., local volunteers are making a difference in their own communities. Thanks to the organizing committee of volunteers, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure is held annually in Vernon and takes place Oct. 6 this year. “This extraordinary group of people dedicate more than 100 hours each to make the event happen in their community,” said Lam. “Last year in Vernon, more than 400 walkers and runners participated in the five or one kilometer event, promoting the importance of breast health and raising funds to support research.” The foundation is happy to announce returning run directors Lindsay Smith and Monica Tiggelaar, who will lead a team of volunteers again this year to organize the annual walk/run in Vernon. The two women

are passionate about the cause and supporting the foundation in raising the awareness and funds for breast cancer research and programs in the community. “I have volunteered with the organization since 2007,” said Smith. “In my first year I was supporting the CIBC Run for the Cure in Kamloops and when I moved to Vernon, I really wanted to stay involved. “I loved being part of the committee and organizing such an incredible event for the community. The stories you hear from the survivors, family and friends are truly inspiring and I’m just doing what I can to give back.” Several committee roles still need to be filled including: individual fundraising coordinator, run day program coordinator, sponsorship coordinator, survivor engagement coordinator and team fundraising coordinator. Interested applicants can contact Katie Syroid at ksyroid@cbcf.org. The CIBC Run for the Cure is Canada’s largest single day, volunteer-led fundraising event dedicated to raising funds for breast cancer research, and education and awareness programs. Local participants collect donations in the months leading up to the event, raising more than $75,000 in Vernon alone. For more information on how to participate, donate or volunteer, visit www.cbcf.org.

Bridge by Phillip Alder THE BIDDING HELPS YOU PLAN THE DEFENSE Oscar Wilde said, “It is only an auctioneer who can equally and impartially admire all schools of art.” It is only a successful bridge player who listens carefully to the auction and uses the information to guide his defense. In this example, how should West hope to defeat four spades after he leads the club ace? North’s sequence, Stayman followed by the jump to three notrump over two hearts, guaranteed four spades. So South corrected to four spades. Note that the defenders could have taken five immediate club tricks against three no-

trump. Many inexperienced defenders cannot wait to cash winners. They would take the club king about one nanosecond after winning the first trick with the ace. Then they would look around to decide what to do next -- too late. Their best move would be to feign a sudden illness and to flee the premises! When dummy comes down with three hearts, West should realize that his partner has a singleton. So, there are two ways to win by shifting to a heart at trick two: Partner might have either the singleton heart ace or the spade ace. As you can see, this defense defeats the contract. East wins the

first (or second) round of trumps, puts West on lead with his carefully preserved club king, and receives the contract-killing heart ruff. As the bidding progresses, mentally log what information it imparts. And slow down your play: there are no prizes -except booby -- for speed.

News Out With the Old

CET, HIS Hearing Instrument Specialist

Q: A:

What is an open fit hearing aid? How is it different from an in-the-ear hearing aid? Open fit hearing aids are often configured as a behind-the ear (BTE) style. The amplifier and electronics sit on top of the ear. However, these hearing aids can be much smaller than the traditional BTE and the tubing that brings the sound to the ear is ultra slim with a small flexible tip that sits in the ear canal. The small tip or ‘dome’ in the ear results in an open fit without ‘plugging’ the ears. An open fit hearing aid is usually more comfortable, provides a more natural sound, and can eliminate problems with your own voice. However, the open fit hearing aids are not appropriate for severe hearing loss and are best for persons with mild to moderate high frequency hearing loss.

Q: A:

It depends what jurisdiction the home was built in. In Kelowna it is not allowed. In the Vernon area it is allowed, but is considered very poor practice and cutting corners by the contractor. Some of the issues that could arise because of this are: crawlspaces tend to get very dusty and dirty, the stale crawlspace air is pulled from the crawlspace, heated and distributed through the home. If the moisture barrier is compromised at the crawlspace floor, ground moisture and harmful gases such as radon will also be introduced into the air. Over time mold can grow in crawlspaces and this will also be introduced into the house air. There are other issues arising from this that can cause problems in the home as well. My suggestion is to have an HVAC technician install a proper balanced and ducted return air system. Your furnace and home will love you for it. And remember, when in doubt, always ask an expert.

I have recently purchased a new home built on a crawlspace. I discovered that the return air system has no ductwork, but uses the crawlspace for return air. Is this acceptable?

Registered Professional Counsellor Clinical Hypnotherapist

Can hypnosis help me to quit smoking?

Yes, if you have decided you would like to quit smoking, hypnosis is the answer. Hypnosis is a chemical-free way to break free of the smoking habit. (why replace inhaled toxins with another chemical?) Treat yourself with respect and stop inhaling poisons. Within 48 hours your chances of having a heart attack start to go down - within one year your risk of developing heart disease or stroke is half that of a smoker. If you are a pack a day smoker, the cost of hypnosis will be less than one month of daily smoking. Give yourself the gift of health by becoming smoke-free and feel the positive difference your decision will make in your life. Mind - Body Counselling Services

News Osvita summer immersion seeks students

B-Ball Battle

Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

A cultural experience that has proven to be a popular option for B.C. youth is once again opening up for those interested in immersing themselves in a Ukrainian experience. Osvita 2013, a Ukrainian summer immersion program, gets underway June 30 to July 27 in Edmonton. The deadline for registration is June 15. “The Osvita program had five students from B.C. last summer; one student from Nanaimo, and four from Kelowna,” said Susanna Lynn,

“You can take Ukrainian 10 not even knowing the alphabet.” — Susanna Lynn

Osvita director. “Of the four students who came to Osvita from Kelowna, three were triplets: Zackery, Kayla, and Lukas Pfob. In addition to enjoying an exciting summer, the Pfob triplets also won the awards for highest mark, the Tryzub leadership award, and the Ukrainian language use award.”

The program, which offers high school credits, is open to anyone 14 and over and no experience is necessary. “You don’t have to be Ukrainian, you don’t have to speak Ukrainian, you just have to have an interest in Ukrainian culture and education,” said Lynn. “You can take Ukrainian 10

not even knowing the alphabet.” Along with learning about Ukrainian culture in classroom settings, the program includes a number of fun activities – travel, sports, arts and crafts, bandura, folk dance and singing. Participants are provided room and board at the St. John’s Institute. For more information and to register online, visit www. stjohnsinstitute.com and click on OSVITA 2013. The Ukraine trip portion of the program has been cancelled this year.

James (Jim) Ormiston Bisset April 17 1930 – June 3 2013

It is with Great Sadness that we announce the passing of James Ormiston Bisset. James passed away peacefully in the early hours of June 3rd 2013 with his family by his side. Predeceased by his son Danny and daughter in laws Terry (Lee) and Donna (Larry); Jim is survived by his wife of 60 years Jane, sons Lee and Larry; granddaughters Jamie and Robyn; Sisters Margaret (Rob) Wardrop, Rita Jeīrey, Brother Danny (Peggy) Bisset and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family & friends. Jim was followed in passing by his sister Norma (Bill) Grieve a few hours later in their hometown in Scotland. Jim & Jane moved from Scotland to Canada in 1953, two weeks aŌer being married. He spent most of his life living in <iƟmat BC and moved to Coldstream in 1984. As a trained carpenter Jim’s philosophy was “if you were making it out of wood, you can do anything”.. much to the dismay of husbands of the women in Jim’s life. There was never a project that could not be tackled and Jim (Mr. B to most) was always in the midst of it all. A celebraƟon of life will be held on June 29th at Nancy and Mel’s from 1:00 – 4:00pm. In lieu of Ňowers we ask that donaƟons be made in Jim’s name to the Mcmurtry Baerg Cancer Center located in the Vernon Jubilee Hospital.
