A co-operative relationship could open the doors to expanded economic opportunities. The Village of Lumby and the Splatsin First Nation have received approval for a 21,596 cubic metre community forest from the provincial government. “It’s a way of creating a partnership to manage the land,” said Wayne Christian, Splatsin chief. “We will be part of the economy. Our goal is to involve local contractors as Wayne Christian much as possible.” The village began the process for a community forest in the 1990s and in 2010, a partnership with the Splatsin was formed. Over the next two years, the application was developed, community meetings were held and in December 2012, the application was submitted to the government. A number of revisions were required until approval was granted. “It will provide fiber (timber) for smaller businesses. Access has always been difficult for them,” said Kevin Acton, Lumby’s mayor. Lumby and Splatsin have also been working with Tolko Industries, which had licenses in the area which borders the village and Silver Star Provincial Park and then goes north to Putman Creek (Trinity Valley). Acton insists that the entire focus will be selective harvesting of timber. “We will be aware of the wildlife and watersheds,” he said. Lumby and the Splatsin will split any revenue 50/50, and for the village, that could generate $50,000 to $100,000 a year. “If we make $50,000, that’s comparable to a seven per cent tax hike we don’t have to have,” said Acton. The community forest will be operated under the name of Monashee Community Forest. It will be managed by a committee consisting of Acton and Ken Klassen from the village, Reno Lee and Lawrence Williams from the Splatsin and Rick Fairbairn, representing the Lumby community at large.

It was an emotional night as cancer survivors, family and friends marched around the Polson Park oval. More than 328 participants and 42 teams participated in the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life Saturday and Sunday. “The event proved to be a tremendous success, raising more than $90,000 to fight cancer,” said Sarb Tatla-Low, co-ordinator. “Participants came together to celebrate the lives of those who have overcome cancer, remember loved ones lost, and empower individuals and communities to fight back against the disease.” The money raised goes towards cancer research, community support programs to people living with cancer, comprehensive cancer information, prevention initiatives, and advocacy for healthy public policies. “I’m so pleased with the support of our staff and our community to help raise much needed funds for this important cause,” said Michael Sherwood, with Silver Star Mountain Resort, a relay sponsor. “We are proud to not only be an event sponsor but to put a team in the event and to raise over $70,000 for the event over the last seven years.” The organizing committee is seeking additional members to help plan the 2014 Relay For Life event. If you are interested in participating, contact Tatla-Low at 250-5420770.

Cell phone helps injured cyclist roger knox Morning Star Staff

A cell phone is a handy device to have when out in the back country, if there’s cell coverage available. A Revelstoke mountain biker will confirm that. The man in his 20s was with three other friends mountain biking on the Enderby Cliffs Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. when he hit a tree stump and suffered a serious puncture wound to his leg. The trio had two cell phones with them. One of the phones’ battery died, but thanks to the other being charged, they were able to phone for help. “We got the call from B.C.

Ambulance asking us to respond and retrieve the guy,” said Leigh Pearson with Vernon Search and Rescue. As the injured biker was near the top of the cliffs, search and rescue looked at three options of getting to the man. They could hike up the trail, which would have resulted in a long, time-consuming jaunt back down with the injured cyclist. They could get to the man via the back of the mountain using ATVs, but that, too, would have taken considerable time. So search and rescue called in a helicopter, specifically a machine from Kelowna-based Valhalla Helicopters, on a rec-

ommendation from Vernon helicopter companies whose machines were all out on business calls. “We had to carry the injured cyclist about 100 metres to where the helicopter could land and loaded him on,” said Pearson. “His friends did a good job of stabilizing the injury until we got there. The helicopter landed at the bottom of the mountain, at the parking lot for the trail, and the ambulance was waiting there. “The helicopter guy did a tremendous job for us. It was very slick. It didn’t take much time from the time we got to him.” The injured cyclist was taken to Shuswap Lake General

Hospital in Salmon Arm, treated for his injury and released. Pearson highly recommends anybody going out into the back country to take their cell phone, but make sure it has a good battery that is fully charged. And be aware that once you get out of the valley bottom, cell coverage disappears quickly. “These guys were fortunate that there was a cell tower fairly close by so they had decent coverage,” said Pearson, adding that areas such as east of Lumby on Highway 6 have virtually no cell phone coverage. “People don’t realize that,” he said. “They take it for granted that cell phone coverage is everywhere when it isn’t.”

An apparatus police are calling a smoke device disrupted Wednesday’s lunch hour at Armstrong’s Pleasant Valley Secondary School. Students reported smoke coming out of one hallway near the end of the school’s lunch break. “They said somebody had thrown a smoke bomb,” said PVSS principal Abbas El Gazzar. “It was smoking up the whole hallway. We evacuated that hallway and got rid of the smoke bomb. “The police and fire guys came just to make sure everything was fine. We did not have to evacuate the whole school.” Teachers and students were told by school officials not to go back to classes or their lockers in that particular hallway, but to go to the opposite side of the school building or go outside. Nobody was injured. Classes resumed in the afternoon. Students told officials that the perpetrators were two males who are not currently students at PVSS. Police arrested one adult man, 19, and one male youth, 17, both from the North Okanagan area, in connection with the incident. The pair are facing charges of mischief, and police said more charges could be possible as they continue to investigate. Both men were released from custody. “The RCMP and the fire department were phenomenal,” said El Gazzar. “They came, the fire department cleared the smoke and the smoke was only in one hallway.” There was some minor tile and wall damage in the hallway as a result of the smoke device.

Individuals wanting to promote special events may have to follow new procedures in Coldstream. A policy will be drafted so staff can possibly sanction the hanging of banners for fundraisers and other activities. Currently, council must approve a sign permit. “It doesn’t need to come to council,” said Coun. Peter McClean of trying to simplify the process for groups. Mayor Jim Garlick is also Peter McClean interested in pursuing another strategy. “In the city (of Vernon), they have an application, and if it meets the requirements, the posting is allowed,” he said. Council has approved a controlled sign permit so the Wellspring Foundation for Education can post a banner on the Kal Beach fence from June 15 to July 15. The banner will promote the Lake2Lake Ride for Rwanda. “Council granted permission for the same request for the hospice society for the past three years, as well as the ALS Society this year,” said Bob Bibby, the district’s building official.

Taxpayers’ dollars have been handed out to a number of community activities. Vernon council has approved a total of $24,795 in grants to five separate organizations. “People are more aware of the grants here because of reductions elsewhere (senior government),” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham. “Some organizations have come more than one time and we’re trying to spread it around.” Council has approved a one-time grant of $1,500 for the Rotary Club of Vernon/ Silver Star to operate the Wings and Wheels event. There will also be $1,745 for bleachers, garbage cans and securing event insurance. The Literacy and Youth Initiatives Society will receive a one-time grant of $4,000 for seniors computer support while there will also be one-time funding of $1,050 for the Kalamalka Highlanders Band for kilt replacement. Other one-time grants include $1,500 for the Vernon Concert Band (insurance and facility rental) and $15,000 for the Upper Room Mission (fire suppression system). The city denied a $2,500 request from the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan to produce a Vital Signs report. Council is also considering a financial request from the Royal Canadian Legion to assist with restructuring of the branch, storage costs and insurance.

Vernon’s Galaxy Cinemas was abruptly closed Tuesday, forcing movie-goers out on to the street. A decision was made to close the theatre at about 6:30 p.m. after a structural engineer discovered that the top of a brick structural beam had come apart. “It’s fairly minor but we didn’t want to take any chances,” said Pat Davies, Shops at Polson Park property manager. “It’s nothing anyone caused. Sometimes things wear out.” Because a structural engineer wasn’t available until late in the

Repairs to a structural beam are done at Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon Wednesday. day, a temporary beam could not be installed in time to keep the theatre open. A temporar y beam was installed Wednesday and the theatre reopened that day.

It’s anticipated a permanent repair will be completed within a couple of days. Officials with Cineplex Entertainment support the decision of the landlord to close the

theatre Tuesday. “The safety and security of our staff and guests is a paramount concern,” said Pat Marshall, Cineplex vice-president of communications.

Heart of the community

n my mind, the newspaper has always been the heart of the community — a means to make manifest our common humanity. From my first day on the job more than 24 years ago to continuing now in changed circumstances, I have given my best to help keep that heart beating. The community newspaper is in the unique position of not only telling what happened or might happen, but of making things happen. When the paper tells the story, the community responds, things happen — a family with a sick child gets help, Cara Brady a treasured possession, even an old friend, is recovered, people find the services they need, organizations get volunteers or funding so they can carry on their work. The paper is an opportunity for people to make their own comments, buy and sell, find entertainment and activities to take part in or smile at a cartoon. It is natural for us to want to know our space and the people around us and to help when needs are known. The response comes from a large love and desire to make things better through giving what they can. The newspaper also helps people learn about local issues of all kinds so they can make informed decisions about what to do to make a difference in a broader, long-term context. The community newspaper provides the place to connect. From the early days when I had to explain to people just what a Morning Star was when I called to ask for an interview, the people of the area have been the newspaper, mostly for good, and sometimes, regrettably, for worse. The newspaper is part of our way to make known what our moment in history in this

At RAndoM

place is like. Of course, a community can exist without a written newspaper. Life went on when people shared their news orally. As a reader of history and historical novels, I am always thrilled when newspapers are mentioned in some way — I like the mental picture of news sheets nailed to walls and those who could read then reading them aloud to others who couldn’t. So the tradition continues. It has been my privilege to be a small part of so many worthwhile public and personal projects by writing about them. I talk to people about their visions, ideas and experiences and write their stories so that others who share their ideals and want to help can join them. I confess that sometimes I have thought to myself, “This would be incredibly wonderful, but it is such a big project. I hope they can do it.” And they did. Many large and smaller projects about better ways to do things, with or without specific buildings, are now a much appreciated reality. Numerous fundraisers to support these projects take place annually so that the good work can continue. The people, together and individually, make the difference. Each person goes through life with some tragedies that tear everything apart forever, some triumphs that colour the world golden, and some find ways to make tragedies into inspiring triumphs. Reading these stories about real people who live among us sustains and encourages us. It makes us happy for those who are finding better ways and helps us think that we, too, can overcome what is coming at us. I know I was often comforted and uplifted by the people who trusted the newspaper to tell their stories. I hope I can see The Morning Star celebrate 50 years as a community newspaper and read all about the good things that are yet to happen because the people and the paper work together. The heart beat will go on.

“Don’t do as we do, do as we say.” That’s the message the B.C. Liberals are sending to residents following the announcement that salaries for senior political staff in government ministries and Premier Christy Clark’s office are not just going up, but going up an obscene amount. B.C. cabinet orders dated earlier this month provide for an 18-per cent wage increase for Dan Doyle, Clark’s chief of staff, to a maximum salary of $230,000. This from a premier who campaigned on fiscal responsibility to help families and gain some ground on an outof-control deficit. This from a government that has continually told teachers, educational support staff, nurses and others in the health-care industry to tighten their belts because there is nothing in the kitty for wage increases. Most in the private sector have tightened their belts to the max, not seeing any wage relief in years. Add to that the burden of increased taxes, a jump in utility rates and the rising cost of dayto-day living, and residents of B.C. are wondering how they’re going to get by. That’s when citizens need to have faith in government – all levels of government – to come to the rescue and pull the country, province or city out of trouble. But it’s getting harder to have faith in government officials. Whether it’s senators in Ottawa charging thousands of dollars in outlandish expenses from the public’s purse, or government officials in Victoria receiving unfathomable pay increases, it’s no wonder residents are so apathetic when it comes to voting in a leader. — Nanaimo Bulletin

Editor: GlEnn MitchEll

deCiSion makerS I just finished reading Richard Rolke's column Where's the Vision, and must agree. It is bicycle week and we are all being encouraged to ride our bicycles and I think that is great. Unfortunately, I cycle often to the stores on Anderson Way and although one side has sidewalks, of which I never see anyone walking, I feel very unsafe driving along the road. There is a large expanse of land that is being built on, employs many people in that area and it certainly does not encourage anyone to ride bicycles in that area. If the mostly unused sidewalks had been paved and had a line down the middle for walkers and cyclists it could have been used at least. There are still buildings being erected and I hope it is not too late to implement some biking paths. This whole area would have been a perfect platform to show that Vernon was serious about encouraging cyclists and would not have been as expensive to implement after the fact. I do see many more people riding bicycles than ever.

gaS tax City council proposes a gas tax. Are they kidding me? That’s the most stupid idea I have heard. This letter is long overdue. I have been gritting my teeth for some time over the lack of any management out of this current mayor and councillors. Actually this has been true for several councils in the past years.

group of film societies connected to the Toronto International Film Festival. At this time, there are about 180 film societies in our country, and the VFS ranks fifth in annual attendance in this group, in large part due to the help of The Morning Star and the public service announcement program. As a result of our success and in support of our mandate, the VFS has been able to donate money for scholarships to high school and college students studying film media, as well as equipment to schools for their film media programs. Over the years, we have been dealing with Kristin Froneman and Katherine Mortimer at The Morning Star, and have nothing but the highest of praise for their help and co-operation in managing your PSAs and our relationship with your publication and the public. Without a doubt, our success is directly related to our close relationship with Gerry Sellars at the Vernon Towne Cinema, and your help at The Morning Star. Again, congratulations to The Morning Star for your 25 years of helping us to bring quality films to the citizens of Vernon in particular, and the Okanagan Valley in general. Charles Wills Vernon Film Society

On another note, I live in the vicinity of Vernon Secondary School and I agree with another letter writer about the new running track and how that would have been a much better location than at the college. With the former high school being torn down there is quite an excess of land and the track could easily have fit there. I think it would be used much more there also. I really do love living in Vernon but to the people that make the decisions that the rest of us have to live with, please have a vision and use common sense. eleanor Wilmot

Happy 25th anniversary

he Vernon Film Society wishes to congratulate The Morning Star on its 25th anniversary. Reading through your anniversary issue June 9, members of the VFS executive were reminded of what an important part The Morning Star has played in the life and success of the VFS. To review, we resurrected the film society and began showing films at the Okanagan College lecture theatre during the fall of 1983 using 16-millimetre film. This size film was produced in a limited variety of second-run films for distribution to U.S. armed forces bases around the world. Early in the next decade, downsizing of the military after the collapse of the Soviet Union meant the films in this format were no longer available to us so a transition to 35-millimetre film meant moving to a new venue. The Towne Theatre had a big projector, big screen, big sound and seating for about 450 viewers, and so, a big change for the VFS, coincidently along with the relatively recent introduction of a new publication, The Morning Star. This was “the beginning of a beautiful relationship,” to quote Ric in Casablanca. About 15 years ago, we became part of the Film Circuit, a

some 20 years ago, but I find it difficult to do. This town is dying, mainly because we have no one to properly lead and develop the economy for the well being of this place. Observe the number of residents leaving town, businesses moving to other towns, the number of empty stores and businesses. Last person out, turn out the lights. Has anyone noticed that we no longer have any provincial offices here? They have all been moved to Kelowna. And that without a peep or whimper from our so-called leaders. So sad. If a town does not grow, it dies. Instead of encouraging core development, our councils waste our money on social items such as libraries, bicycle paths, esthetic street rebuilding, museums, art galleries, etc. These type of buildings are ideal but intelligent leaders would reserve them for better economic times. Instead of gas taxes, wouldn’t it be more prudent to use the money wasted on borrowing interest to build that stupid sports track that

incumbent Ben Stewart by more than 6,000 votes and garnered only 30 per cent of the vote, but she says she likes her chances in the same riding just a few weeks later against Premier Christy Clark. Gordon, who was named Tuesday as the NDP’s candidate in the July 10 byelection in Westside-Kelowna, says despite her loss to Stewart — a victory in which he took 58 per cent of the vote — she feels the NDP did pretty well. “I actually think we did Carole Gordon OK. We did better than in 2009 (provincial election).” Adrian Dix, NDP leader, says the upcoming byelection should focus on local issues, such as seniors’ care, health care and road safety. “The local voters need a local representative,” said Dix, adding Gordon will speak up for local industries like fruit growing, wine and spirits, as well as other groups like small business and seniors. Meanwhile, the B.C. Conservatives have named their candidate for the byelection. Local realtor Sean Upshall, who ran for the party in Penticton and came third behind Liberal winner Dan Ashton and second-place finisher NDP candidate Dick Cannings, will carry his party’s banner in the Westside-Kelowna vote.

Lumby link for officer Morning Star Staff

Kelowna’s new top cop had a stint in the North Okanagan. Insp. Nick Romanchuk, a former head of the Lumby detachment, has been named the new officer in charge of Kelowna. Romanchuk brings a diversified portfolio of operational policing experience from his 22 years of service with the RCMP as well as extensive detachment command experience throughout southern B.C. over the past 13 years. He is currently the officer in charge of the Kootenay-B oundar y regional detachment, responsible for providing a police service to 15 municipalities and the majority of the two regional districts. “This is a tremendous opportunity for me and my family,” said Romanchuk. “My wife and two daughters are very excited by the prospect of beginning the next chapter of our lives in Kelowna and enjoying all that the community has to offer.” Romanchuk, who was born and raised in Saskatchewan, joined the RCMP in 1991. After completing his training at depot, he was transferred to Lillooet where he was stationed from 1991 to 1995. From there he was transferred to the Kamloops where he investigated offenses against a number of federal statutes. In 1998 he was transferred to the Kelowna-based Southeast District Customs and Excise Section where he continued with this work. In 1999, Romanchuk was promoted to the rank of corporal and transferred to Nakusp, where he served in his first position as a detachment commander. In 2002, he was promoted to the rank of sergeant and became the detachment commander in Lumby.

“This is a tremendous opportunity.”

— Nick Romanchuk He was promoted to the rank of staffsergeant in 2004 as the detachment commander at Trail, and in 2008,

he was commissioned and promoted to the rank of inspector as the first officer in charge of Kootenay Boundary

regional detachment; a detachment structure that he and his team built from the ground up. Romanchuk will be promoted to the rank of superintendent in the near future as he assumes his duties as detachment commander of the Kelowna RCMP.

An 86-year-old Vernon woman suffered a suspected back injury when the Ford Explorer she was a passenger in was struck from behind by two cars on Highway 97 in Lake Country Wednesday.

An 86-year-old Vernon woman was sent to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with a suspected back injury Wednesday morning following a three-vehicle crash, which closed Highway 97 beside Wood Lake in Lake Country. The accident happened at 9:45 a.m. near the Teddy Bear Lodge. A 62-year-old Vernon woman, driving a blue Ford Explorer south bound on Highway 97, was struck N Hulcar Rd

from behind by a blue Ford Escape and a white GMC pickup truck, when she stopped suddenly to avoid colliding with a dog crossing the highway. Both the driver of the blue Ford Explorer and her passenger, the 86-year-old Vernon resident, were transported to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Emergency crews suspected that the 86-yearold passenger may have sustained a back injury as a result of the crash. Both were treated and later released from hospital. A 47-year old Kamloops woman, and sole occupant of the Ford Escape, was uninjured. The driver of the GMC pick up, a 48-yearold Kamloops man, and his two passengers were treated on scene for minor injuries. The highway was closed in both directions for 30 minutes along Wood Lake to allow emergency crews to investigate and clean up the crash. No charges have yet been laid, neither speed nor alcohol are considered contributing factors in this crash. The sudden stopping and following too close are considered factors. Police are continuing to investigate this crash, anyone with any information is asked to call Cst. Marshinew of the Lake Country RCMP at 250-766-2288.

Tigers ambush Shamrocks in third Graeme Corbett Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Source For Sports Tigers needed a huge third period to brush back the host Armstrong Shamrocks 12-6 Wednesday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. Ahead by a goal going into the final frame, Vernon exploded for six more to secure the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League win. “In the third period, our guys took control of the game, on and off the floor,” said Vernon head coach Myles Brumpton. “It was nice to see the leaders talking the whole time. We shut them down defensively.” The Cats cruised to an early 4-1 lead after a shaky start by Shamrocks’ netminder Josh Pointe (31 saves). Singles by Ryan Sarazin, Nolan Frame, Braden Barr and Mason Limb, on a great dive through the crease, jumpstarted Vernon’s offence. The Rocks came alive with a pair of goals in the last minute of the period. The final snipe was a solo effort by speedy Stephen Ringdal, who weaved through traffic to beat Vernon starter Aaron Jensen with 2.4 seconds to play. “My hat’s off to Armstrong,” said Brumpton. “They capitalized on our mistakes and kept it close until the third, especially running with a short bench.” Neither team generated much in the second period as a string of alternating penalties stifled the momentum. Todd Hoggarth and Adam New converted for the Shamrocks, while Limb and Frame answered for the Tigers. “Special teams sucked the life out of the second period,” said Brumpton. “Neither team was able to establish a flow.” Vernon’s offence found another gear in the final period with Sarazin (2), Limb and Frame

each completing their hat tricks, and Darryl Landels pocketing a deuce. Cam Nelson replied for the Shamrocks. Unable to attend every game due to work commitments, Brumpton credited assistant coach Keith Hanna for picking up the slack behind the bench. “He’s got his finger on the pulse of the team right now,” said Brumpton. The second-place Cats (9-2-1) are chasing the first-place Kelowna Raiders (10-2-1), who hosted the South Okanagan Flames (3-8-1) Thursday at Memorial Arena. The third-place Rocks (3-7-2) visit the Flames Sunday in Penticton. The Cats have a home-and-home weekend set with the last-place Kamloops Venom starting Saturday night (7:30) at Kal Tire Place. Vernon visits the 3-9-1 Venom Sunday night. “Nobody’s given Kamloops any credit this year,” said Brumpton. “Like any good young team, it takes time. Kamloops always brings their game.” Meanwhile, Conor Webb and Jakob Schweb each fired two goals and an assist as the North Okanagan Legends outgunned the Shuswap Outlaws 8-3 in Bantam A2 lacrosse play Tuesday at Priest Valley Arena. Brady Marzocco, Niklas Luttmerding, Brett Olsen and James Francis each had singles for the Legends, who enjoyed period leads of 2-1 and 6-1. Kayden Beauregard and Stephane Richard each dialed up an assist as North Okanagan outshot Shuswap 68-20. Short five regulars, the Legends picked up Riley Swiscoski and Mason Poole, who both contributed to the win. Shuswap goaltender Noah Bumstead was stellar in stopping 60 shots, while assisting on two of the three goals.

Vipers add two more pieces for RBC Cup run Graeme Corbett Morning Star Staff

Kenny Citron

Matt Saharchuk

Matty Saharchuk has had an eye on the Vernon Vipers ever since he moved down from Fort St. James to play hockey with the Pursuit of Excellence Academy in Kelowna in 2010. It turns out the Vipers were also keeping tabs on Saharchuk over the past season, watching him enjoy a breakout year with the North Okanagan Junior B Knights. Vernon head coach/GM Jason Williamson signed the 18-year-old forward this week for the coming BCHL season. Williamson also plucked defenceman Kenny Citron, also a 1995-born player, from the Team Comcast Under 18 program that competes in the

Atlantic Youth Hockey League. Saharchuk was a beast for North Okanagan last season. Strong on the puck and always willing to drive to the net, the 6-foot-2, 185-pound forward recorded 32 goals and 28 assists in 50 games. He added 6-9-15 in 13 playoff games in helping the Knights reach their first-ever KIJHL final. He also played two BCHL games as a call-up with the Salmon Arm SilverBacks. Regarding his stellar season, Saharchuk said: “My coaches (Kris Mallette and Shawn Webb) really supported me and gave me the ice time I needed to get my confidence to that next level. “I was just finishing my plays and doing all the little things right that helped me in my season.” Williamson said Saharchuk’s skill set, combined

with his eagerness to join the club, made it a straightforward decision to sign him. “He reached out and wanted to be a Viper even before we got on to him. In that kind of situation, that’s when you get the best out of a player. “By the end of the year he was probably North OK’s most dangerous player.” Saharchuk said the Knights’ journey to the KIJHL final will help him prepare for next season as Vernon hosts the RBC Cup national championships in 2014. “I had never been in playoffs before with a junior team,” said Saharchuk, who was listed by the WHL Everett Silvertips. “It really shows you what it takes to last that long and how you need to prepare yourself every day.”

Golf pros go 10 rounds Kevin MitChell Sports Editor

They played golf from sunrise to sundown and raised more than $1,000 for ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease). Pros and longtime friends Jesse Crowe and Myles Johnson spent 16 hours and 20 minutes on Salmon Arm’s Canoe Creek Golf Course Tuesday. They teed off at 4:50 a.m. and got in 10 full rounds. For the record, Johnson finished at 6-under 714 and Crowe fashioned a 1-over 721. Their ringer board scores were impressive as the only holes they didn’t at least birdie were the first and 10th. “I have one blister on my toe and my back hurts,” chuckled Crowe, the head pro at Canoe. “I was actually going to play with one arm because I hurt my right wrist throwing (his five-year-old son) DJ around, but it felt OK.” The duo accepted pledges for the PGA of B.C. Golf A Thon for ALS fundraiser, now in its eighth year. The association collected $148,000 last year and have brought in $750,000 since inception. Sutherland’s Bakery in Enderby sponsored Crowe for $1 a hole, while his parents in Vernon backed his pledge sheet at 50 cents per hole. A Canoe member anonymously donated $500.

“I came out unscathed,” laughed Johnson, assistant pro at Spallumcheen Golf & Country Club. “I have never played that many rounds in one day. I remember being a kid playing three rounds out at Spall a few times when I had lots of energy. It was a good day and all for a great cause. I didn’t realize so many people are affected by ALS.” Both players carded a couple of eagles with Crowe just missing a hole-in-one on the par-4 13th. “I almost holed it, but I also almost killed a member who I didn’t see,” said Crowe. “The ball just hopped over the cup.” Their quickest 18 holes was 83 minutes, coming in round No. 8. Their longest was one hour and 41 minutes as they played through a few groups in round six. They rode in a power cart. Global TV’s Steve Darling is the ambassador for the Golf A Thon. Support equipment for ALS sufferers averages $137,000 per patient. Nursing home or homecare costs are 10 times more. ALS is a progressive neuromuscular disease in which nerve cells die and leave voluntary muscles paralyzed. Life expectancy for anybody diagnosed is two to five years. The disease can strike at any age. Donations can still be made online at: golfathonforals.ca or by calling Canoe at 1-866-431-3285.

Citron comes to the Viper den from Lawrenceville School, a prep academy near Princeton, N.J., where he played hockey and field lacrosse. Originally from Hartsdale, N.Y. (near Manhattan), Citron was captain of Team Comcast that competed in the 2013 U.S. nationals. He collected 10 assists in 14 games (16-game season). The 6-foot-1, 195-pounder is committed to the NCAA Colgate Raiders following his junior career. “I just want to show up everyday ready to work hard and contribute that way,” said Citron. “I’m a pretty physical, puck-moving defenceman. I find a forward, make the play.” Asked who he is taking in the Stanley Cup final, Citron replied: “I hate to say it, but I think I’m going to be rooting for Boston. I’m a Rangers fan, but they’re playing so well and they’re fun to watch. That’s what you need to win championships.”

Williamson travelled to Buffalo to scout the U18 U.S. nationals and was immediately impressed by Citron. “From the first time I saw Kenny play I really liked his game. He’s got some bite to his game, and he’s a tremendous leader.” With the recent influx of players coming in – Vernon has acquired six in the last month through commitments and trades – some of the returning players will be hard-pressed to keep their roster spots. The Vipers are already two over the six allowed 20-year-old players. “I don’t want to put them all in a panic, but we still have too many bodies,” said Williamson. “We need some competition and we need guys battling for jobs. I think it’s a healthy environment.” “These guys are competitors and they’re going to come ready to play.” Viper main camp begins Monday, Aug. 19.

The Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels brushed back Monashee Surveying 3-2 in North Okanagan Soccer League play on a blustery Wednesday night at Marshall Field #5. Humpback goals came from Fabrice N’Dri, Enzo Paal and Albert Goldnik. N’Dri showed a great first touch and delivered an amazing left-foot volley for the first snipe. Monashee, whose 11th man showed up late, enjoyed some early chances with power forward Nathan Martel getting the best of the Camels’ defence but shooting wide. Paal made it 2-0 early in the second half off a sloppy corner clearing by Monashee. Monashee made things interesting when latecomer Rodney Goodchild received great service from Kevin Shaw and slotted a bender home. Monashee got a chance to level the score when Martel was taken down in the box. Devon Marriott stepped up but was stoned by keeper Ryan Campbell. The Camels quickly countered with Goldnik finishing for the 3-1 goal. Minutes later, Martel buried a nifty feed from Shaw. Arrowhead Electric Man of the Match for the Camels went to Keenan Jespersen for outstanding hustle all night. Okanagan Spirits Man of the Man for Monashee went to Dave Henry, who scored last week but was put in goal, and made big saves down the stretch. North Enderby Timber grounded the Vernon Riot FC 3-1 at Marshall #2. NET opened the scoring early after a cleats-up tackle inside the 18 awarded Danny Stein a penalty shot. Stein beat keeper Mat Catton off the inside of the left post. The Riot fired back with a 25-yard Menno Burnet strike off the crossbar and just over the goal line. A well-placed drop kick from Timber keeper Brent Poulsen gave Brodie Couch the opportunity for a great through ball to Evan Frederick, who capitalized, pushing NET into the lead again. Couch played another sweet ball to Frederick, who bested two players and scored with some highlight-reel moves before the half. Poulsen stood out in goal with regular starters Danny Stein and Brynden Buckham proving to be multi-talented offensively. Chris Ovens and Sean Lister controlled the cen-

Navy boys go undefeated Morning Star Staff

Team Navy capped an undefeated regular season by grounding the Mangos 3-1 in Royal LePage Under 13 Boys Soccer League action Saturday at Marshall Field. Steven Benischek opened the scoring for Navy with Xander Sladen drawing the assist. Rylan Brown netted the winner on a rebound after a shot by Brandon Chai. Noah Cooper added further insurance with Seb Wenger earning the helper. Garrett Birch took a feed from Brendan Whitmore and beat two defenders on a hard run before finishing for the Mangos. Nick Mitchell and Ty Cooke both made several sparkling saves in net for the second-place Mangos, whose Red Robin Man of the Match was defendermidfielder Erich Deetlefs. Navy and the Mangos meet again Saturday afternoon to open the Vernon Cup playdowns. In other U13 boys play, the White Pandas and Team Red battled to a scoreless draw. Chris Aldrich was sharp in the Pandas’ net, while Ty Cheyne and Blake Leupin shared the clean sheet for the Reds. In U11 girls action, the White Panthers ran to a 1-1 draw against Team Red Saturday at Marshall. Panther wingers MacKenzie Killingbeck and Chloe Huggins displayed great ball control in delivering numerous crosses into the 18. Lottie Scott was having a solid game until she was forced off the field with an injured knee, and Grace An launched some beautiful kicks at net.

Max Turnbull stole six bases, including home twice. Domonique Gaudette swiped five bases, and played alert defence, tracking down a difficult pop fly in the third.

The Little Tex Outlaws shaded the AF Blazers 3-2 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 1 play Tuesday night at Marshall Field #4. Jenny Hatten opened the scoring for the 4-4-1 Blazers by curving in a corner. Jeruscha Bahmuller stripped the Little Tex defence and scored a rocket from 25 yards. The Outlaws (5-2-2) rallied in the second half against the subless Blazers, with Stacy Cover, Anita Rae and Jasmine Whitling combining on the first goal, with Whitling finishing nicely. Mary Bennett crossed to Whitling for the equalizer, while Fahn Hastie supplied the winner off a through ball from Whitling, named the Little Tex Lady of the Match.

North Okanagan United and Rosters battled to a 3-3 draw at Marshall #2. Shelley Henry showed amazing patience as she buried a low shot moments after she shanked on a glorious chance, totally missing the net. Carly Bibby netted the second NOU goal on a ferocious shot, hard and high. Henry completed the NOU offence on a high blast up and over keeper Karen Benn’s head. Becky McLennan (2) and Jodi Schwartz countered for Rosters, who got several fabulous saves from Benn. Seasons Sistas bowed 3-0 to Setters Pub of Salmon Arm at Marshall #1. Sherry Wiebe played a strong two-way game for Sistas, who trailed 1-0 at the half. Keeper Wendy Nadeau, who’s learning the position on the fly, played her best game of the year, while strikers Wendy Kowalchuk and Wendy Horner created some nifty scoring chances. Tammy Buick moved from defence to forward and used her wheels to gain two breakaways. Sistas dipped to 0-8.

Late in the half, Harris turned sweeper Jody Pope inside out before drilling a 15-yarder past Mickey Templeton.

Murray Bennetto won his singles final, while Ray Kimoto won his doubles final and lost in the 75 men’s singles final, and Meryl Ogden lost her singles championship match.

In the semis, the former Hong Kong pro turned back Pat Macken of Vancouver, 6-3, 6-3. Ogden, in the women’s 50 singles, brushed back Colleen Ostlund of Vancouver 6-1, 7-5 in the semis, but lost 6-1, 6-2 to Karen Clarke of Vancouver in the finals. After defeating Norman Hughes of Vancouver 6-1, 6-1 in the semis, Kimoto lost 7-5, 6-4 to Anthony Mears of Vancouver in the 75 men’s singles final. In doubles, Kimoto and Gordon Verge of Parksville won the 75 men’s title by stopping the top-seeded team of Lewis Hayashi and John Walsh of Vancouver 2-6, 6-3, 6-4. In the semis, Kimoto and Verge defeated the No. 2 duo of Howard Lowe and Hughes 0-6, 6-4, 6-3. Bennetto and Stephen Kimoff lost 6-1, 6-3 to Pat and Tony Macken of Vancouver in the men’s 50 doubles finals. Bennetto and Kimoff grounded Robert Excell and Shoveller 6-3, 3-6, 7-5 in the semis. Kimoto’s next Masters tournament is the 126th Vancouver Island Grass Court Championships, July 21-27, in Cowichan Bay.

Morning Star Staff

Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs from Summerland to Armstrong are sending a huge Mcthanks to everyone who supported McHappy Day. More than $13,000 was raised during the 20th annual McHappy Day between 15 McDonald’s restaurant locations. Children and staff of the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs along with local community leaders, emergency services staff, media and celebrity guests worked alongside McDonald’s staff throughout the day in support of the event. McDonald’s donated $1 from the sale of every McCafee, Big Mac sandwich and Happy Meal along with donations and other fundraisers to help raise the money in support of their local Okanagan Boys and Girls Club. Proceeds from McHappy Day will be used by Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs to help send children to summer camp at Camp ArrowFlight, an 82-acre camp located in Spallumcheen. “At the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs, where no one is ever turned away due to the inability to pay, money raised through fundraising initiatives such as McHappy Day is vital to help ensuring that our clubs are able to continue providing low to no cost recreation programming for children and youth,” said Richelle Lawrence with

The clubs are a provider of programs to children and youth that support the healthy physical, educational and social development of more than 6,000 young people and their families each year. “We have been helping young people discover, develop and achieve their potential since 1959,” said Richelle. “Every day at Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs, children and youth get the help they need to learn to develop positive relationships with peers, family, teachers and the community at large.” Clubs offer programs in physical recreation, technology, the arts, personal growth and more. Many clubs also provide meals, emergency shelter, family support programs and other support to children, youth and families at risk. “Our mission is to provide a good place to be, regardless of their circumstances, for chil-

Songs are still ‘Sweet’ after all these years It’ll be a ‘ballgame’ blitz when glam rockers play Funtastic Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

It is tempting to open an interview with Steve Priest with a certain question when he answers the phone at his Southern Californian abode in the Spanish-pronounced town of La Cañada Flintridge. It’s a question that was first asked of the bassist with glam rock band The Sweet (now known simply as Sweet) more than 40 years ago. “Are you ready Steve?” The opening line to Sweet’s classic dance hall burner Ballroom Blitz, Priest has been ready since he reformed the band in 2008. And his “uh-huh” response will be heard when Priest and Sweet headline the Funtastic Music Festival June 29. “That was a good song,” he says nonchalantly when asked about the staying power of Ballroom.“It’s amazing. It’s not like I’m that young now, but we have people from 15 to 50 at our shows and they know all the lyrics. They are singing along to it.” Speaking in his Middlesex-tinged accent, left over from his British roots, Priest is the only founding member in this version of Sweet (an attempt by his former bandmate Andy Scott was made in the ‘80s/early-‘90s under the name of Andy Scott’s Sweet) and he says it was after seeing Eric Clapton perform that he decided to start playing all those classic songs again. “I asked myself ‘why is (Clapton) still up there and I’m not?,’” said Priest. “I knew then I

Funtastic Music Festival revellers can Ballroom Blitz to the new Sweet, with original bassist Steve Priest (right) on June 29. had to get back to this. It was silly not to.” Priest went from backseat driver to manager, and says he had to learn quickly the other side of the biz, from booking shows, flights and hotels to all the other things that come along with the job. “Before we had everyone else doing it,” he said. “Back in the ‘70s, it was quite amazing – you get caught up with that ‘you’re a rock star.’ Now I just take it with a grain of salt. It is what it is.” Looking back at when Sweet was starting out, the one regret Priest says he has is the band didn’t tour this side of the ocean enough during their heyday. “We also didn’t do enough TV shows in Europe, which were really big back then,” he

said. “Lots of people didn’t associate us or know we had done the songs.” Restarting the group years later was one way to change that, he added. Priest last played those classic Sweet songs — Ballroom Blitz, Fox on the Run, Little Willie, Love is Like Oxygen, Hellraiser, Teenage Rampage, Blockbuster and Action to name a few — at a few fundraisers after 9/11. Five years ago, he gathered a group of musicians, including fellow bandmates from L.A. metal act Heaven and Earth, guitarist Brit Stuart Smith and drummer Richie Onori, as well as keyboardist Stevie Stewart to join him in the new Sweet. “We all came together would be the common expression,” he said.

Local ink artist dishes with The Dirt Morning Star Staff

There will be a couple of chances this month to get down and dirty with Vernon rockers The Dirt. The band, which plays an artillery of hard rock and ‘80s metal classics, is headlining a show at The Green in the Village Green Hotel this weekend and also returns to the Funtastic Music Festival later in the month. Up at the mic will be the band’s new lead singer Rob Forest, a tattoo artist and previous proprietor of Genesis Tattoo in Vernon, who now operates a studio in Kelowna. “Rob has an incredible vocal range, and has really brought a fresh feel and

sound to our band. He is not only a very talented tattoo artist, but musician as well,” said Dirt bassist Lee Waters, who with drummer Kevin Lane and guitarists Damian McGuiness and Dan Walker make up the rest of the band. Formed in 2007, The Dirt have been rocking stages around the Okanagan ever since. This will be their fifth appearance on the Funtastic main stage, performing in the past with such acts as Lou Gramm of Foreigner and Great White. Audiences are guaranteed to be bangin’ their heads to hits by Ozzy Osbourne, Van Halen, AC/DC, Metallica, Motley Crue, Poison, Kiss, Iron Maiden and others.

Priest also set out to find a lead singer who would be able to hit those high falsetto notes originally belted out by Brian Connolly, who left The Sweet back in 1979. (Priest filled in on lead vocals until the band officially disbanded in 1981.) “When the original band ran its course and Brian left the band, it made it difficult. I mean we’re a band that needs a lead singer - the vocals are what we’re known for,” said Priest, who enlisted L.A. vocalist Joe Retta to fill in those big shoes. Soon after forming, the new Sweet appeared on a radio show in L.A., and then kicked off the aptly titled Are you Ready Steve? tour at Hollywood’s famed Whisky a Go Go club. As soon as the band played the spacey keyboard intro to Fox on the Run, Priest knew he had made the right decision. “I love to see people singing it. It never gets old,” he said, adding the band has since filled clubs and casinos from coast to coast. “We still have a following. It’s great.” Priest, who just built a home studio he calls Logic, has been recording new songs with Sweet and says he is looking forward to the band’s dates in Canada, which include a number of casino shows before they arrive to rock the Funtastic Music Festival and slo-pitch tournament just before Canada Day. Just like Steve, Funtastic revellers will be ready. Sweet takes the stage on the Saturday night during Funtastic at 10:30 p.m. Opening for the band will be Heart tribute Barracuda, as well as local acts Mace and The Legendary Lake Monsters. Weekend and day passes for the Funtastic Music Festival are now on sale at all A&W restaurants in Vernon or online at www. funtastic.org.

“We really enjoy playing the hard rock ‘80s stuff, but we have pulled tunes from the ‘70s and ‘90s as well,” said Waters. “We always strive to have a really fun show for the crowd, and give it our all when we’re on stage”. The Dirt plays this Saturday night at The Green in the Village Green Hotel with special guests, Dirty Little Secret. Start time is 9 p.m.; no cover charge at the door. They also take the stage at the Funtastic Music Festival at the DND Photo submitted Army Camp Friday, June 28 at 8 p.m. Also taking the stage that night will be The Dirt’s new lead singer Rob Forest, left, is joined by bassthe Original Shakedown, The Young ist Lee Waters, drummer Kevin Lane and guitarists Damian ‘uns and headliners Honeymoon Suite.

Vaughn, Wilson crash Google

team leader Lyle. TAYLOR: All in all, I think I am nerdy and tech savvy enough to get the humour in this movie. It’s possible for someone who doesn’t spend hours per day on a computer to see the fun in the film, recognize the personal flaws responsible for the lessons these characters need to learn and enjoy their relationships. The Internship isn’t breaking any new ground, but it also doesn’t offend. As it managed to evoke a couple of laughs out of me, I recommend geeks of all ages take the opportunity to stare at a really big screen for a change. —Taylor gives The Internship 3 G+ accounts out of 5. — Howe gives it 2.5 broomsticks out of 5.

The internship

illy (Vince Vaughn) and Nick (Owen Wilson) are two oldschool salesmen, kings of the cold call, even able to talk clients into buying things they don’t need. Unfortunately for them, the company they work for has been sold out from under them and they find themselves having to talk their way into an internship at Google. Completely out of touch, in terms of both technology and modern work environments, Billy and Nick must drag much younger, genius nerds down to their level, just to be understood. We say, “You don’t have to be ‘net savvy to find it funny, but it helps.” HOWE: The comedy dream team is back, or so I was expecting. It wasn’t that The Internship didn’t make me laugh — it has the right ingredients to work: two funny guys, an awkward situation for them and a drink-

ing binge. Whereas, I found Wedding Crashers entertaining and funny, I thought this was pretty bland – a bit like bacon ‘n eggs without the brown sauce. (Brown sauce, by the way, is HP sauce.) TAYLOR: I thought the film was exactly what one would expect. Vaughn is always the guy who takes a million words to say anything. Wilson is always the guy in touch with his sensitive side. Together they are the brotherly best friends any buddy comedy from Hollywood deserves. I laughed two or three times, which is rather paltry, all things considered. Surprisingly, I didn’t mind the predictability of the story because of the film’s social setting.

Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are Billy and Nick, unemployed salesman interning at Google. What makes this film interesting is the dichotomy between the old fashioned salesmanship, (being able to shoot the breeze, gain a customer’s trust, convince them that they like you and therefore should do business with you) and modern acumen provided by simply stating facts, backed up with a cold, digital amalgam intellect. Simply put, the old guys need to stop shovelling bovine excrement; the young kids need to look up from their screens and re-discover their humanity. HOWE: They sound a bit like us two at work, though you being more like Vaughn’s role, Mr.

The rock side of the band (Aidan Andrews (lead vox, guitar), Carson Bassett (drums, ukulele, guitar),Nolan Bassett (bass,vox), Brent Matterson (lead guitar) and Craig Matterson (guitar, keys, vox) rears itself up on Lindeman. This track revels in a snotty, post-punk vibe. Just crank up the cowbell and Big Muff along with the whammy squeals. It roars along with a rough shot of garage rock bite and bile until the band’s penchant for breakdowns threatens to derail it but doesn’t, as they climb back into the fray on the force of volume and drive. The group displays an instinct for layering sounds and textures for ambiance and atmosphere and digs into alternate passages for dynamics and space. It broadens their context into band unity and an evolving sonic personality that’s happily blasting through folk and rock. — Amistad holds its EP release party/ concert tonight at 7 p.m. at Powerhouse Theatre. Opening is local up-andcoming act Siesta Motel. Tickets are $5 at the door, Bean Scene and Wentworth Music.

Elks have a long history of service Cara Brady Morning Star Staff

Members of the Vernon Elks Lodge #46 have been making the community a better place to live for 93 years. The members contributed $25,000 to various local organizations last year with the women of the Royal Purple contributing an additional $12,000. Now they’re continuing fundraising activities for this year’s contributions. The Elks, as they are generally known, began as a fraternal organization, the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks (BPOE) in New York in 1868.

There’s nothing better than to present a child with a hearing aid that can change their lives forever. We also pay for speech therapy as needed,” said Ole Sather who has been an Elks Lodge member for 15 years, 10 in Vernon. His wife, Maureen Sather, has also been a member for 10 years, using her background in account management as secretary/treasurer. Women have been accepted as lodge members since the 1990s and some are members of Elks and the associated Royal Purple. “The lodge has been here in Vernon in this building for more than 80 years, it used to be a church. We had a couple who were married in the church come here for their 50th wedding anniversary celebration. Still, it’s amazing how

Formerly a church, the building has been home to the Elks Lodge in Vernon for more than 80 years. many people don’t know the building is here and what the lodge does in the community,” said Maureen. One of the lodge’s most popular activities, open to the public, is the Friday night suppers. This is a full home-cooked meal for $9, and usually attracts more than 100 people. There are bi-monthly crib tournaments organized by Exalted Ruler Bill McDonald. The newly renovated hall is available for rental and catered events like weddings, parties, celebrations of life and other meetings for groups of 50 to about 100. The Elks hall is the home of the Sadok Ukrainian Dancers.

The fundraisers allow the Elks to make contributions to a variety of charities, including Light A Bulb, the Vernon Treatment Centre, BMX Races (youth), the 4-H Clubs, the Humane Society, the Salvation Army, Santas Anonymous, Mara House, and others, including individual families as needed. The hall is available to people holding fundraisers for those in need. The Elks also provide bursaries. The Elks lodges of B.C. maintain three camps in the province, the newest on Shuswap Lake near Canoe, that are provided free to charitable organizations as a space to run children’s camps. “Elks exist solely for the benefit of the community. It’s very fulfilling to be able to help so many people,” said Maureen. Members like the opportunity to build relationships in the community when volunteers from some of the organizations they help come back to help them with their fundraisers. Elaine Gallacher of etcConsulting has been volunteering with the lodge for four years. “We are fortunate to have the Elks here. I think people don’t always realize how much they do. They could use more members or volunteers or both,” she said. The Elks are going to keep doing as much as they can. “This is all very rewarding. We’re very lucky in this community. We want to thank Katherine Mortimer at The Morning Star for always getting our notices in the Community Calendar, that really helps us out,” said Ole. “I think we’ll be here for a long time, hopefully for another 100 years.” For more information about the Elks activities or hall rentals call 250-549-1883. The hall is at 3103-30 St., Vernon.

Snooping is not advised

ear Annie: I have a friend who has a divorced daughter with two children. The ex-husband has a good job with the government. My friend is very strapped for money and sends as much as she can to the daughter. The daughter claims the ex-husband does not pay child support regularly. I feel the daughter should go to his employer about the child support. Kathy Mitchell & MarcySugar There are laws about this. But my friend and her daughter both believe this might cause him to lose his job. Then there would be no money coming at all. I disagree. I don’t believe you can be fired for garnishment of wages. But talking to my friend is like talking to a wall. The new wrinkle is, the ex-husband is about to remarry. I have known this guy since he was a teenager, and he is a fine man. I don’t, however, have the same warm feelings toward my friend’s daughter. Is there some way I can look into her claim about the child support without causing trouble? My friend is about to lose her house, and I don’t think she should be giving away her money to her daughter.

I realize this is none of my business, but watching the effect this has on my friend breaks my heart. — Just Concerned Dear Concerned: We cannot caution you enough to stay out of this. The mother may suspect her daughter is not telling her the truth and wants to give her the money anyway. The daughter may be perfectly honest about the child support, rendering your high opinion of the exhusband unwarranted. And there could be other things going on of which you are unaware. If the daughter is not receiving child support, she can take the matter to the courts. We understand your concern, but no good can come from your snooping around. Dear Annie: My boyfriend and I have been dating for three years. This summer, we are planning to go camping with his family. They are religious and have strict morals, so my boyfriend says he will not sleep in the same tent with me. He argues that since they invited us on their camping trip, we should abide by their rules and expectations. However, I believe that since we’re both adults and have been together for so long, it’s our right to sleep together. Who’s wrong? — Sleeping Alone Dear Sleeping: You are. These are his

parents, and this is their camping trip. You not only should abide by their rules, but you should show them the kind of respect your boyfriend is showing by giving their sensitivities a priority when in their presence as their guests. Dear Annie: I’d like to agree with “Encino, Calif.,” who needs a handicapped parking spot even though her disability is not visible. I am an amputee. In the winter, no one can see my prosthesis under my pants. I can walk faster than a lot of people with two good legs, but I periodically get a sore “leg” and have fallen several times. So I legally park in the handicapped spot. I have never had anyone openly direct a nasty comment toward me, but I sure have had my share of dirty looks. Someone once “reminded” me that I was in a handicapped spot, so I lifted up my pants leg. That shut him up. I would like to tell people that just because we don’t look disabled doesn’t mean we are not. Things beyond our control have happened to us. Also, to those of you who park in the handicapped spaces “just for a minute” to drop something off: I once had to cross a snow-covered parking lot in a wheelchair when the handicapped spaces were full of people without proper stickers or license plates. Shame on you! — Michigan Girl

On Saturday at 2 p.m. there is also a draw for a free Davison Orchards season’s pass. Seasons passes, a new feature at the farm, include unlimited Crazy Cow Kids Corral play, farm tours, and even some other discounts around the farm. They will also be offering a special combo deal on two of their most popular products; when you buy a whole pie to take home, you get 50 per cent off any size jug of juice. To celebrate Father’s Day, the Davisons are trying something they have never done before: all-you-can eat pie. It’s all part of their Father’s Day barbecue lunch which

includes apple cider sausages (locally made using Davison apples and juice), coleslaw, all-you-can-eat beans, and pie for dessert. Anyone can enjoy this Father’s Day lunch, but only dads get the all-you-caneat pie. For everyone else, only one slice is included. “Dads — you won’t want to miss this,” says Leah, “it’s your perfect excuse to go all out on beans and pie — go ahead, Dad it’s your day!” Davison Orchards is open daily 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For more information, call 250549-3266 or visit www.davisonorchards.ca

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Don’t be surprised if you don’t grasp the essence of an idea as quickly as you usually do. It’s one of those days when your head is likely to be off in the clouds. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) It behooves you to be more careful concerning your possessions. Pay attention not only to how you handle them, but where you leave them, even for just a minute. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your friends and family will take you at your word, so think twice before speaking. What you consider to be merely a comment might be taken as a promise. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Since what you do and what you say are likely to be two different things, you could confuse people. Try to be consistent with both your words and your deeds. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Don’t take well-meaning friends’ financial tips as gospel. Before making a major purchase or investment, be sure you know what you’re getting into. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Instead of giving input on a topic that you know little about, just be a good listener. There is a strong chance that if you flap your gums, you will be challenged. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be wary of anybody, even a trusted friend, trying to pry some confidential

information out of you. This person’s motives might be devious. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) It isn’t a great idea to participate in an expensive pastime with a friend who is always reluctant to pay his or her fair share. Why would you expect something to change? PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) If you are having trouble making an important decision, seek advice from more than one person. Each counselor might have some good ideas, but not the complete answer. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Fortunately, you’re prepared to work hard, because advancing your career might not be as easy as it usually is. A strong, concerted effort will be required. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Someone you know has been trying to manipulate others into doing his or her work. Don’t fall prey to such machinations, and try to put a stop to them.

Hormones Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

The Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of B.C. have recognized two Okanagan College employees for their work in promoting and enhancing careers in applied science. Public affairs director Allan Coyle was recognized for his contribution in promoting both careers and educational opportunities for technicians and technologists through his work at the college. “Allan’s been a steadfast supporter and partner with ASTTBC, particularly as it relates to the science, technology, engineering and math program we’ve worked on over the years,” John Leech, ASTTBC executive director. “It’s been a real pleasure. His devotion is emblematic of our great working relationship with Okanagan College generally.” Also receiving recognition was college instructor Barry Brooks for his work developing the property inspection program. Brooks was provided with a certificate of service. He has also been elected as a director with the ASTTBC board.

Investors Group’s Vernon division office recently donated $1,000 to the Vernon and District Volunteer Bureau during National Volunteer Appreciation. “Volunteers are the backbone of any community,” said Twylla Genest, manager of the Vernon and District Volunteer Bureau, a program of the North Okanagan Employment Enhancement Society. “Most non-profit organizations in our community exist on a very tight budget and it is donations like that from Investors Group that give us the means to recognize our community volunteers. “It is with much gratitude that the members of the Community Volunteer Co-ordinators’ Network and the Vernon and District Volunteer Bureau say thank you to companies like the Investors Group and to our community volunteers.” The donation was presented during a volunteer appreciation event held at the Vernon Public Art Gallery.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder LISTEN CAREFULLY TO THEIR BIDS Robert Bresson, a French film director, said, “Cinema, radio, television, magazines are a school of inattention: People look without seeing, listen without hearing.” Some bridge players are guilty of listening without hearing -- to the auction. Every bid and most passes supply some information for the attentive player. In today’s deal, look at only the West hand and the auction. What would you lead against four hearts? The auction followed a normal path. North’s jump to four hearts showed gamegoing values with three-card heart support. South was close to a slam-try (imagine North’s having ace-third of

spades), but chose to pass. If you use two-over-one game-forcing, North would rebid three hearts. Then the auction might continue four clubs -- four diamonds (both control-bids) -- four hearts pass. Yes, here five diamonds makes, but do not make a habit of playing in five of a minor when four of a major is a favorite to succeed. (A defender having ace-fourth of hearts and being able to give his partner a heart ruff in five diamonds is much more likely than a 4-0 diamond break and a defender gaining two diamond ruffs in four hearts.) West should lead a diamond. Since diamonds have been bid and supported, it is highly likely that East is

void of the suit. After East ruffs, he will probably shift to a club. South wins with his ace (West signaling with the queen to deny the king) and plays a trump, but West grabs the trick and gives his partner a second diamond ruff. Then East cashes the spade ace to defeat the contract.

Liberal raises under scrutiny tom fletcher Black Press

The NDP opposition came out swinging Tuesday, releasing cabinet orders that allow for large pay increases for senior political staff in government ministries and Premier Christy Clark’s office. Cabinet orders dated June 3 provide for an 18 per cent increase to the maximum salary for the premier’s chief of staff, from $195,148 to $230,000 per year. The orders provide for a salary range, so the salary currently paid to Clark’s chief of staff, Dan Doyle, is not known. Another order provides for Clark’s new deputy chief of staff, Michele Cadario, to be paid a salary of $195,148. Cadario, deputy campaign manager in the B.C. Liberals’ successful election campaign, replaces Kim Haakstad, who resigned before the election over improper political activities in the party’s ethnic outreach strategy. NDP MLA John Horgan said the move is particularly inappropriate as the government prepares to comb its operations for cost savings to meet its balanced budget target. “It certainly seems to me that the first day cabinet meets, their priority is not the people of British Columbia, it’s their political pals,” Horgan said. “In the case of the deputy chief of staff, yesterday this individual would have been paid $144,000 a year. Today that position is $195,000. Nice work if you can get it.” Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the increases reflect new positions and additional responsibilities, and don’t mean extra costs for taxpayers. The extra money is from “reallocations from within, but the overall budget will be the same,” de Jong said. Among those new positions is the promotion of some ministerial assistants to “chiefs of staff ” within each government ministry, making them responsible for other staff in each minister’s office.
